BRECONSHIRE. BRECON.—On Saturday evening, the 17th inst. a child named Mary Ann Williams, aged about two years, thejjjwghter of Thomas Williams, carpenter, was killed Ay a gig passing along the Watton, in Brecknock—the child was crossing the street at the time the gig was coming up, and fell under the near wheel, which went over her neck, and on pulling up the horse, the wheel backed, and went over her a second time,—instant death was the consequence. No b'ame whatever attaches to the gentleman who was driving the horse. AvCoroner's inquest, he'.d betore Lancelot Morgan, BailitT and Coroner, returned a verdict of Accidental Death," and assessed a tfeodand of one shilling on the. nbeel. CARNARVON.—This fair on Monday exhibited an unusual large show of cattle, but the demand being slack, they went off at abo.ut 20s. a head less than at previous fairs yearlings, however, maintained good prices, fetching from bl. to 61. ea«h.

Pigs were in abundance, and went off slowly at consider- ably reduced prices.-Chester Courant. K- Gloucester Assizes terminated on Friday even- ing. Out of nearly 100 prisoners which the calendar contained, two were condemned and left for execution viz.

In both instances the prisoners "Were recommended to mercy by the prosecutors and jury, but the Learned Judge in passing sen- tence, observed, with evident distress of mind, that a painfrf and insurmountable sense of what was due to society compelled him to leave the culpi-it4 to their fate without the slightest hope of mercy being ex- tended to them.

We resume our extracts from this very able PU)- lication with the following remarks on Episcopacy in the primitive Church in Britain, and its establishment prior to the intrusions and corruptions of Popery. "From the earliest periods on record, an Episcopal Church has heen nationally received in this kingdom. "We refer with honest pride, as ancient Britons, not merely to ibe, unquestionable fact that Bishops existed with extensive jurisdiction, but also to that excellent indepen- dence of spirit manifested by their Clergy, on the occasion when Augustine came over to convert the Saxons.* riiey who speak of our endowments having been den\ e to us from the Romish Priesthood, as if some special prior- ity of titic existed, on their part, to the Revenues Eccles- iastical, seem to have forgotten that the British Church was unquestionably founded and endowed long before t e absurdity of a foreign supremacy was known, or the tyianny and corruptions of Papal dominion had obtained a footmg in the island. Our Church was established and honoured with immunities and privileges, while with blameless sim- plicity she adhered to the primitive faith. For a Ion,, course of years, as proved by undisputed history and y ancient statutes, was she free from the encroachments ot a foreign jurisdiction. The Church still possessed the national revenues, when unhappily that jurisdiction had intruded, and introduced a multitude of errors and super- stitious observances; nor is it easy to understand how she forfened her original title aud claim, when, through t «. VII,e blessing, she burst from her captivity, cast aw ay t >e cowls by which she had been tied down, and, being tie- livered from the bondage of corruption, asserted her own lreedom, and recovered for her sons the glorious liberty o the cbildret) of God. By whom or at what period the conversion of Britain to the Christian faith first took place, though a subject deeply interesting, must ever be involved in uncertainty and doubt. The present Bishop of Salisbury not on y seems to have collected all that has been said by others, but has added several learned and ingenious arguments o his own, to render it at least probable that St. Paul visiteo this island. The utmost that we learn from the New,Testament in connexin,n with the enquiry is, that the Apostle intended a journey into Spain, and designed taking Koine in his way. This last circumstance is conceived to derive importance from the fact that Britons of distinction were amongst the friends of St. Paul in that city, and at a period consistent with the theory of their having suggested to him the con- version of their native land, and accompanying him on the expedition. The mention of Spain is observable as being the nearest point to our shores spoken of by the Apostle, and, let me add, as a country from whose ports, at various early periods, much commercial intercourse was carried on with this country. The expression of Clemens Romanus which 'represents St. Paul as "having come to the borders of the West," may possibly have been designed to include Britain; but 7 this is all that can be inferred. Clem, flotirislied in the first century, and had been a companion of St. Paul. The passage in Irenaeus which speaks of Christian Churches among the Celts," may mean Britain, though it may also mean Germany or Gaul, and perhaps all three. lren lived in the second century. Tertullian, who flourished also in the second and third centuries, expressly names "Britain" as converted to Christianity. Eusebius. who lived in the beginning of the fourth centurv, speaks of the Apostles having visited the British isles." Theodoiet,in the beginning of the tntii century, mentions the Britons as converted by the Apostles, and particularly connects the name of St. Paul with the bringing of salva- tion to the island of the ocean." From an impartial consideration of these testimonies, it appears to me clear that Christianity was hrst proclaimed in Britain by an Api s le aid the concurrent circumstances render it far from improbable that St. Paul himself was that Apostle.. To such as feel interested in respect to tbe early record of Episcopal Government among us, it will be satisfactory to know that there were three British Bishops present at the Council of Aries, which was convened by Constantine in 314. These were of York, of London, and most probably of Lincoln-for colonia Lindi seems the true reading. It is not so certain, though maintained by some, that British Bishops attended the Council of Nice, A. D. 325. Athanasius mentions British Bishops in the Council of Sardica, A. D. 347. There were three in the Council of Ariminum, A. D. 369, Hilary dedicates his Book on Synods to the Bishops of the British Provinces—ob. 367. There were British Bishops present at the Synod of Verulam, in the middle of the fifth century. There were several British Bishops at the Conference held in Worces- tershire, at Augustine's Oak, towards the end of the sixth century. Nor can stronger evidence exist than is furnished hv that Conference of the independence of the British Church, and that its usages were, in many respects, at variance with those of the Roman. I Ye do many things," said Augustine, contrary to our custom." Having made this general allegation, he parti cularly asked of our venerable ancestors to conform to the Church of Rome in the observance of Easter-in the mim. istration of Baptism-and a1,,0 in regard to preaching the Gospel to -the English. The British Prelates were not hastily disposed to lay aside their ancient customs; and they refused to do so, unless sanctioned by the consent of the nation. A second Synod was called, at which seven British Bishops, and many Doctors from Bangor, then a monastery of great reputation, attended; but the result was no less adverse to Rome than before. The answer of Linoth, the AbLot, on the part of the British Church, to Augustine, soliciting subjection to the Church of Rome, has been preserved in its original form. It will doubtless be acceptable to such of my Brethren as may not, perhaps have seen it:— Bid hyspys a diogel i chwi, ein bod ni oil, un ac arall, yn ufudd ac yn ostyngedig i Eglwys Dduw ac i'r Pab o "Kufain, ac i bob gwir Gristion dwyfol, i garu pawb yn ei radd mewn cariad perffaith, ac i helpio pawb o honynt ar air a gweithred i fod yn blant i Dduw ac amgenach ufudd-dod na hwn nid adwaen i fod i'r neb yr ydych chwi yn enwi yn Bab, neu yn Dad o Dadau i'w gleimio ac i'w ofynii A'r ufudd-dod hwnyrydyin ni yn barod i'w roddi ac i dalu iddo ef. ac i bob Cristion yn dragywyddol. Hefyd, yr ydym ni dan lywodraeth Esgob Caerlleon ar Wysg, yr hwn syddyn olygwrdan Dduw arnom ni, i wneuthur i ni gadw'r ffordd ysprydol." IN ENGLISH. Be it assurediv known to you, that all of us, one as "well as another, aie obedient and subject to the Church of God, and to the Pope of Rome, and to every sincere godly Christian, to love every one in his station in perfect charity, and to aid every one of themlbywurd and deed to become the children of God. And other obedience than this I acknowledge not to him whom you call the Pope, or the Father of Fathers, to be claimed or demanded. And this obedience we are ready to give and to pay to him and to every Christian at all times. Besides, we are under the im government of the Bishop of Caerleon upon Usk, who is an overseer under God over us, to make us to keep the spiritual way." From this Document it is abundantly clear, that the British Church acknowledged no subjection at that time to the Roman, and had no communion with it, but was under the jurisdiction of its own independent Metropolitan, the Archbishop of Caerleon. From the otherfacts it is equally certain, that our fathers had received the Eastern customs, and not those of the Roman Church. It is probable that the seven Bishops who attended the Conference, were the Bishops of Worcester, Hereford, Bangor, Llandaff, St. Asaph, Llanbadarn, and Margam. Such were the suffragans of the ancient metropolitan See. It may also be worthy of recollection that Du Pin, a Romanist, exempts Britain from any subjection to the jurisdiction of the Roman Patriarch in the first ages.

The Established Church of Scotland is now ex- periencing the same sort ofresistanceto its legal dues, ag the Church in England and in Ireland has for some time done^and for which so many thanks are owing to the present "liberal and enlightened" Ministers, who have taught the people to regard such dues, whether in tithes, or any other form, as most 4 unjust and oppressive," however sanctioned by the law of the land, or compatible with the rights of property. In Edinburgh a certain provision for the clergy] called the annuity tax, is resisted with great pertina-' city, and to a considerable extent. A respectable citizen, Mr. Tait, bookseller, was on Saturday last committed to the Calton jail for tefusing to pay the tax, where he remained until Tuesday evening, wijen he was conveyed fcy the populace in triumph to his residence, "as a mark of their high opinion of his spirited and independent conductCarlisle Patriot. -The .Marquess of Anglesea derives a large re- vebue-( we have heard the amount estimated at 1.5 000, aunually) from his property in the extensive oyster banks at Carlingford, in Ireland, which extend to the length of six miles, CONFESSION OF AN INCENDIARY. On Tuesday last" Jolt" Stallan. the convict under sentence of death in our county gaol, retracted his former strong protestations of innocence, aud confessed that he had wilfully occasioned all the fires (twelve in number) at Great Shelfird, with the exception of Mr. Stacey's; in nine of which the premises were burnt. The culprit states he had no maliee or ill. will against any of the persons whose property he set on fire, and that his only object was to occasion a necessity for working the engine, for which, as one of the assistants, he received (j, 6d. each time. He fired the premises of his master (Mr. Henry Headly)fou), times, and attempted a fiftlt-ard he ascribes his selection of these to the facilities he possessed from working on the spot. The first fire was at Mr. William Headly's with whom also he worked at the time, and of whom he speaks in the highest teres. He says no other person was accessary to any of the fires, and he always'most carefully and successfully concealed them from his wife, although, on his first ap- prehension, he had shamefully attempted to exculpate bimself by laying the guilt upon her. He made a full and unreserved confession to the chaplain on Wednesday, and since then he'says he has felt his miud much relieved.

Walter Davies, although himself a Northwahan also, thus speaks in just ridicule A'i gib, gab, geb, rhyw leb rhy lwyr, Clais anian, yn cloi synwyr." 4w This Gorsedd ought, in strict chronological order, to have been introduced immediately after the Kisteddfod. u S the monastery of Penn Rhys. It >s highly K- though not expressly recorded, that an Eisteddfod and Gorsedd were held at Farm, near Caerphili, uder the kind patronage of Sir Edward Lewis, a gentle- man greatly endeared to his countrymen, by his strong ca' a«achment to his native place and by his uncircum- scribed generosity to literary characters.— Llywelyn n says, his preface to the Cyfrinach, a gwedi hynn gwnaeth ivfeuryg Dafydd hyfr Barddoniaeth iddei ArUydd, Syr Edward Lewys, o'r Fann." And after this, P ,VV*ter the Earl of Pembroke's Eisteddfod at Cardiff as e>) Meuryg Dafvdd composed a book on the art of nTf his lord' S"ir Edward Lewys,of Fann. Edward y r also, mentions this circumstance. Some years I-0 the close of t,ie sixteenth century, a public -l -eddfod,of considerable note and attraction, was duly convened and held at Llandaff, at tbe house of tbe Kev. > 'am Jivans, chancellor of the diocess. This talented ounte of the AWEN (for he was an excellent poet) appears to have held several local bardic meetings at his hall of open door; at one of which, Thomas Llywelyn, of Kegoes, recited his superior Englynion of advice to young poets; but Thomas Llywelyn was either dead at the period of the general Eisteddfod to which I now more particularly refer, cr too infirm to attend it, for he was quite blind many years before he died. A considerable portion of an old manuscript collection of Welsh poetry,, now in my possession, consists of poems addressed to this worthy patron, by the following bards, viz. Giles ap Sion, alias Sils ap Sion, Meredvdd ap Rosser, Dafydd Bunnwyn, Thomas Brwynllys, William Dyfi, Meuryg Dafydd, and Sion Mawddwy, who all appear to have been at this Eisteddfod for most of their poems e.\pressly mention it, and are generally dated, in words and figures, 15dt>, the year, doubtless, in which the Eis- teddfod was held. Giles ap Sion, in a note to an extem- pore Englyn," to use his own expression, says that (tansla- ted) it was composed when a company oi bards had met together, to sing in praise, for superiority, before Mr. William Evans and Mr. Thomas Lewys, of Llandaff, at that time." This note bears the above date. Chancellor Evans appears to have been a man of transcendent abilities, and rare endowments, combined with superlative attachment to the genius and literature of his native CAMBRIA • and, from the concurrent testimonies of various authors deduced from the numerous poems addressed to him, his descent and family connexions appear to have been highly respect- able.. Thomas Brwynllys, one of the bards of his Eisteddfod, finding that the Chancellor bad associated himself with an Englishman (as a magistrate I infer), addressed to him a poem on the occasion: the following is a translation of its title: "A poem to Mr. William Evans, Chancellor and Treasurer of Llandaff, when an Englishman came, in the time of vacation to sit with him." The poet, zealous for his country, seems to have viewed this circumstance as an untoward event, greatly to be deplored, for he oewailingly asks, Beth y wna Sais byth ny Sir?" "What can an Englishman ever do in the county?" Continuing the poem, he applies the following compli- mentary lines to the Chancellor:— Am saith doethion y sonwyd A thafod aur, wythfcd wyd." Of seven wisemen mention has been made Of golden tongue, thou art the eighth." But, Poets themselves must fall like those they sung; Deaf the prais'd ear, and mute the tuneful tongue." The worthy Chancellor died Jan. 5, 1589, having been, according to Brown Willis, who quotes his epitaph, in his survey of the cathedral church of Llandaff, 1719," treasurer of the cathedral church, and chancellor of the diocess for forty years." Giles ap Sion has a fine elegy on his death; dated 1589, in which, alluding to his hospitable patronage of the bards, he says, A'i fwrdd glod i fcirdd gwlcdydd." With his eulogized table for the bards of countries." Deeply iinoued with the animus of the long departed bards who have sung this liberal benefactor's praise, I have thus dwelt on his memory with great gratification; nor can I now quit his name without casting, mentally, through the dim vista of olden time, a lingering look behind." But we have yet a Chancellor of Llandaff, in this our present °ays, on whom the mantle of bis former predecessor has fallen, iu the pure spirit of fervent attachment to every thing that appertains to Waies, and its lileratu/e- The Kev.

GLOUCESTER INFIRMARY.— On Wednesday week a numerous meeting of the Governors of this Insitution was held at the Shire Hall, the Right Rev. the Bishop of Gloucester in the chair, to decide as to the adoption of a resolution which had been passed at a quarterly meeting, on the 4th July, by a majority of 79 to 70, for increasing the number of surgeons. Mr. Bytes moved a resolution that no addition to the surgical establishment is necessary." After a long discussion the motion was negatived by 129 to 114. The Rev. Mr. Claxson then moved that two additional surgeons be appointed, which after some discussion was carried by 124 to 110. ,We regret to perceive that Mr. Cother and Mr. Fletcher, the actual surgeons to the institution, then resigned their situations. ANGLESEY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETy.-The an- nual meeting of this society was held at Llangefni, on the 9th inst., and the great number of gentlemen —members and friends—who attended, shows the great interest that is felt throughout the island for the success of this beneficial institution. The ex- hibition throughout evidenced the great improvement in stock that has taken place since the formation of the society. The bulls, for which the premiums were given, were beautiful animals the first, the property of T. Vt illiams, Esq., of Red-wharf, was the finest of the breed we ever saw; others, the %-operty of Sir R. Bulkeley, Mr. James Williams, Mr. Edmund Roberts, Ucheldre, Mr. W. Williams, Bodafan, Mr. W. Hughes, Hendrefaig, Mr. W. Thomas, Glanalaw, and many others whose names we did not bear, followed close in point of excellence. The boar and sow too which obtained the premiums were the ad- miration of the meeting. -Chester Courant. NEXI-SPAPERS.-No newspaper appeared in the colonies until 1704, when the News Letter was issued at Boston, and continued till i776. The first paper published in Philadelphia was issued in 1719, and the first in New York in 1733. In 1775, there were 37 in 1801, there were 203; in 1810, 358 and, at pre- sent, probably not Ipss than 1,200. MURDER.—Charles Shaw, a boy, aged 14, has been committed to Stafford gaol, charged with the murder of John Holdcroft, a lad about nine year's of age.-From the evidence before the coroner it ap- peared that the prisoner had killed the deceased by strangling him with a cord for the purpose of getting possession of his week's wages, amounting to eighteen pence TWADDLE AND QUIBBLE -At a meeting of the wLincoln Temperance society, this week, the question was raised whether the use of brandy in cookery, particularly in plum puddings, would be an infringement of the rules After a long and grave debate, iu which much ingenuity was displayed, it was resolved that brandy in puddings is eaten and not drank, and that therefore it does not fall within the list of articles prohibited. A singular accident happened at Torquay, Devonshire, on the recent visit to that place of the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria. A shoemaker, named Dart, who was desirous of paying some mark of respect to their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, made an elegant pair of shoes for the young Princess, and in his eagerness to present them, pressed with the crowd upon the guard. of honour, when accidentally one of the bayonets ran into hie eye, by which it was completely forced from its socket. The Duchess observing the distressing accident, humanely directed the unfortunate man to be placed under the care of a skilful turgeon, and ordered the greatest care to be taken of him, at her expense, till her Royal Highness sends further directions respecting the sufferer. It is understood that her Royal Highness intimated her intention of settling a pension for life on the shoemaker, and in case he should lose the sight.of the other eye, of which doubts are at present entertained by the surgeon, the allowance will be encreased. DREADFUL RIOT.—THREE LIVES LOST.—At the fair of Borrisoleigh, on Tuesday sennight, a very desperate riot took place between two factions; a magistrate found it necessary to read the riot act, but this not having the effect of dispersing the rioters, the military were obliged to fire, by which three lives were lost, and several men wounded the police were obliged to seek safety in tbeir barracks, into which they were beaten. Ihe military had to fire twelve or fourteen shots we learn that thirty of the persons concerned in the riot were appreheuded.-Clonowl Herald. W ¡ THE BANK. The Directors and Proprietors of the Bank of Eng- land complain in no measured terms of a breach of faith, as they consider iI, on the part of Government. The following are the resolutions proposed by Mr. Loyd at the meeting and adopted 11 lhat this Court feels itself bound, injustice to its own character, to protest against the treatment it has expe« rienced at the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has, in the opinion of this Court. most improperly and nnjustlv departed from the terms. of bisown proposition; and after having engaged to grant certain privileges to the Bank on consideration of stipulated pecuniary concessions, has since determined to withhold from the Bank some of the most important of those privileges, without making a corresponding abatement in the pecuniary concessions. ° That although this course of procedure, and the viola- tion of the contract, fully justified the Bank in rejecting the arrangement in toto, this Court, considering the exten- sive injury to the public interest that might be the result, and considering that a new range of prices had been made upon the conviction that the question was settled, is un- willing to assert its undoubted rights at such hazard, and authorises the Court of Directors to submit to the arrange.. ment. D That the Governor and Deputy Governor should wait on the Chancellor of the Exchequer with the resolutions, and that the papers that had been that day read should be printed for the use of the Court of Proprietors." THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. At a special Court of Proprietors of East India Stock, held at the India House on Tuesday, for the purpose of deciding whether or not they will place their commercial rights in abeyance under the ar- rangements embodied in the East India bill, which decision the Court of Directors have been advised by Counsel should be passed previously to the third reading of the bill, the Chairman stated, that since the last Court further correspondence had taken place with Government relative to the bill. The Court of Directors regretted that, the amendments the Court had solicited not having been obtained, the Court of Directors could not recommend to the Court of Pro- prietors to accept the Government of India on the terms offered. They left therefore the question in the hands of the Proprietors. To this an amendment was proposed in the Court, that as the bill had ar- rived at the last stage in parliament--that though all had not been obtained, still the Company shouldllefer to the wishes of parliament, and agree to place the Company's trade in abeyance for twenty years, during the period Government would hold India. The amendment was then and put and carried. A dissent from the Chairman and Deputy Chairman to agree to the plan was then entered and read at length to the Court of Proprietors.

GLAMORGANSHIRE. CARDIFF EISTEDDFOD.—Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess et Kent and Princess Victoria, will honour the Bar,lie Festival, which is to be held next year, at Cardiff, with their special patronage and it is expected that the Royal party will pay a visit to j the Marq' esa and Marchioness of Bute, whose man- » iiion is situated within the walls of the ancient castle, at Carditt. We scarcely need add, that the same • loyal and affectionate feelings with which their Royal Highnesses were greeted, last summer, in North Wale?, will be evinced towards them in the Southern part of the principality—Morning Pout. NEW CHAPF.L AT COED-Y-CYMAK.— The Lord Pishop of Llandaff anxious to provide the increased accommodation required for the performance of divine service in the populous district of foed-y-Cymar, which i.; situate three miles from the parish church, has licensed a newly-erectcd school-room to be used as a Chapel of Ease to the parish of Vaynor. To- morrow the interesting ceremony of performing, for the first time, divine worship, in this chapel, will take place; on which occasion the Reverend William Jones, of Vaynor will officiate. We regret to learn that the funds for constructing the building, have fallen short in the sum of thirty pounds; but we hope that the liberality of the religious and devout inhabitants of the neighbourhood, duly considering the sacredness and importance of the object in view, will be successfully exerted on the occasion. » ADVANCE IN WAGES -We have great pleasure in recording the liberality of the Nealh Abbey Coal or Company, who have,raised the wages of their colliers. NEATH.—ACCIDENT.—On Saturday week, a poor little girl, who was deaf and dumb, was crossing the rail road at Maesteg when a waggon, which, being intercepted by her bonnet, she did not see, came up and she was run over. She was so severely injured that amputation of her leg at the thigh was unavoid- ably resorted to. SWANSEA.—On Tuesday, W. Hopkin, a lad about lp years of age, and several others, in returning from their work at the Church-pit Colliery, near Swansea, got upon the locomotive engine belonging to H. Smith, Esq., and when near his home—the machine proceeding at the rate of 12 miles an hour- the lad jumped off the forepart, and fell on the rails, when the wheels passed over one of his legs below tue knee, and over the other below the pnkle, nearly se- parating the parts. Amputation of the lacerated limbs was immediately performed by Mr. Terry, the surgeon to the works, and the unfortunate lad bids fair to survive the dreadful accident. VULCAN BENEFIT SOCIETy.-On Monday, the Dowlais Firemen's Vulcan Benefit Society had their annual meeting, and walked in procession, 251 in number, to the Baptist Meeting-bouse, ib Dowlais. They afterwards dined at Mr. William Teague's, the Swan Inn, where an excellent dinner was provided on the occasion. The respectable appearance and orderly conduct of all the members present, through- out the day, and till the hour of their separating in the evening, were highly creditable to them. TROTTING MATCH.—On the 3rd of this month a match came off at Aberdare, between Mr. Wafkins' horse, Regulus, and Mr. Morgan David's Cymro Bach, commonly called the Bay Trotting Poney, for five soverereigns aside, for one mile. Regulus very soon took the lead, and was never headed, beating his opponent between two and three hundred yards. THE STOCKS.—Some petty delinquent, who appears to have a mortal antipathy to the funding system, demolished the stocks in Merthyr, on > Sunday night. A reward of ten shillings is offered by the town for his apprehension, and has been pro- claimed, with the accustomed formalities, by the I townciier.

In order to insure the due performance of one branch of the public duty attached to the nobles of the land, it was declared in a great council of the realm, being the parliament held at Clarendon in the reign of Henry II. (John of Oxford being president by the king's own mandate there being also present the archbishops, bishops' abbots, priors, earls, barons, and peers of the realm,) that "archbishops, bishops, and all persons whatsoever of the kingdom, who hold of the king in capite and have their possessions from our lord the king in naturc of a barony, and thereupon make answer to the king's justices and officers, and perform all rights and customs due to the king as other barons do they ought to be present at the trials of the court of our lord the king, with his barons, until the loosing of limbs or death be adjudged to the party tried.

NEWLY ENCLOSED LANDS.—In the parish of Barking a small part of the waste lands have lately been enclosed, for the purpose of giving employment to the agricultural poor and paupers of the said parish and the same having been planted with potatoes were sold, on Monday last, by auction, by Mr Harvey of Ilford, and some lots fetched 13Z. i2s.6d per acre others 10?. and 121., averaging about 121. per acre for the whole so cultivated and the allotments let to the labourers, at a moderate rent, by the officers of the parish, have yielded an equally abundant crop.- County Press. FEMALE EMIGRANTS.-A letter from Hobart Town states that a large cargo of fen,ale emigrants lately arrived is found to consist principally ofladies more notorious for beauty than for virtue. A PARISH PAUPER—Lately, John Coward a single man of Broughton Gtfio.-d, near Melksham who was in the receipt of 2s. per week from the parish ex- hibited symptoms of insanity. The parish officers appointed some individuals to look after him, when, in searcfiinfr his person, they discovered, tied round his waist, a belt of rags, which in ripping up yielded, ia gold and silver no- wards of 631. The authorities have reimbursed themselves. and clothed the poor man from this sum, and with his consent have deposited the remainder of it in the hands of a respectable gentleman, against a rainy day The man is, now his load is gone, in his right mind.Keeiie,'s Bath Journal. Aeene-s CIIICULA TION OF THE PROVINCIAL PRESS. There has lat^y been published a parliamentary docu- ment, purporting to be a. return of the number of stamps issued to each provincial newspaper in England for the last year, by which it is pretended to show the circulation of such newspapers, respectively, The design is shame- fully loquistorial and oppiessivelunder any circumstances; blit, with the very imperfect means by which such a return can be obtained, and the opportunities which are afforded for error and deception, to publish such a paper as a true account ot the matter in question, is most unjust and tyran- rical. We see it complained of by several of our contem- poraries, that as it respects their particular publications the return is most faulty and we have muc;i reason to join with them in that complaint. We deny, as many others do, that the number of stamps which any one or more distributors may return as sold to any one or more* newspapers, can give a just computation of the issue of such newspapers. Concerning our own publication, the system we pursue is to purchase our stamped paper at the best market, a a matter of business; and under such a system, it is scarcely possible that any true return can he obtained. A neighbouring contemporary, (the Tyne Mer- cui-y) takes the following view of the subject:—" Nothing can be more productive than it is of deception and injustice. the public, for instance, are expected to believe, thc-t the number of stamps issued during any one year to the pro. vnicial newspapers, shows the circulation of the journal duung that period. Nothing can be more false. It every now and then happens, that the proprietor of a newspaper had a tolerable stock of stamps on hand, and consequently, he dohs not require the number of stamps he must other- wise have procured from the wholesale stationer for his circulation during the year. Sometimes a person gets a supply for three months together, sometimes for one month only so that when a return is required of the stamps issued to him within twelve months, it may and does frequently happen that he has only received six or nine months consumption in that time. Besides, if the number of stamps issued to any uewspaper in a given period were to be taken as the number of copies printed of it within that time, how easy would it be for the proprietor of a paper who only printed 200 or 300 copies in a week, to buy stamps for the express purpose of being included in the return, so that he might actually seem to circulate two or three thousand in a week? He may buy as many stamps as he pleases, and may therefore taate his circulation appear as large as he pleases. if, as we have reason to be- lieve, some newspaper-proprietors knew. of the intention to move for a return of stamps issued within a given period, it is clear they would have the opportunity, by lwrge purchases of stamps, if making the number of copies they print and sell look much larger than it actually is, while others who are not so fortunately initiated, would be placed at a de cided disadvantage. The system evidently gives ample scope for the grossest deception."—Certainly it does; and hence, as we have already observed, it is not merely inquisitorial, but most unjust and oppressive. We trust however, that our readers will not now be led away by any representation founded upon the return in question, which it may be attempted to impose upon them. In our own particular case, the calculation would almo,st seem to have been made purposely to injure s; our circulation being set down so very far below what it actually amounts to.

This retreat was so much admired by the late eccentric tragedian, that he' frequently declined engagements, and lost many hundred pounds, by his anxiety to visit it and remain in it as long as he could possibly extend his stay. Here, amidst gay friends, and spirits of a kindred mould, poor Kean loved to luxuriate, and set the table in a roar. "With these conversing he forgot all time," and defied managers' books and prompters' calls. Very often, however, a visit to Kean was liter, ally a service of life and death. His zuests were completely at his mercy; for they could not get away till a ship came; and when the wassail cup flowed brightly, and the festivities ran far into the night, the actor often became unmanageable, and glasses and bottles flew about among the heads of the company as thick as arrows at Chevy Chase. Some of his dramatic friends were celebrated and envied for the dexterity with which they evaded these missives, but others who could not (as our Scotch proverb says) "jeuk an' let the jawp gae ower" were often surprised in moments of danger. Next morning there was a pro fusion of apologies, kind words, and friendly hos- pitality, but scars sometimes remained as indelible as the blood-spot on Lady Macbeth's hand. Few persons of taste or feeling will sail past the wild and beautiful shores of Bute without thinking in pity or admiration of the late owner of the villa. LAMENTABLE FATE OF DOCTOR DIXON, THE AFUICAN TKAVELLKU.—A letter received from Cape Coast Castle, dated April 28th, 1833, gives the following account of this catastrophe Dr. Dixon was proceeding through the interior of Africa from the Dahomey coast to meet Captain Ctapperton and his companions at Katunga. The King, into whose territory he was about to enter from Dahomey, having sworn to afford him protection and assistance, came out of his principal town to meet him, attended by his sons and chiefs, and desired his eldest son to swear fidelity to the stranger after the fashion of the coun try. This is done by drawing a sabre and making a long barrangue, using the most violent gestures pushing the Sword in the face of the person in whose favour the oath is taken in fact they show their dexterity by cutting cloeto the face without actually touching « Dr. Dixon unfor(unatel mistook the nature of the ceremony, and thinking the KIng s. son meant to kill him, drew his sword and thrust it into his body. The Doctor would have "er::ftet°n J Z S1',0t'but ,he King ordered him L° I l I(,T ,dVdeclarin? that he could not break h.s oath though his son h|d been kiUed The "eXl r thp 1 »• n Was sent on his jouruey, under the protection 0f an escort but the instant they passed the boundaries of the King's dominions, 1 the King's oath no longer binding, they fell on the Doctor and killed him." j' DUEL EXTRAORDINAIIY.—An affair- Qf honour took place last week, not a hundred miles from Pen- zance, between a Captain of the merchant service and a Mr. T cabinet-maker, &c. It uppelir,% Ltic p&Wies liad beerl sacrificing prettý re »hich the o ma-e i a su ject of merriment, declared nothing could settle but an appeal to arms, and persuaded them to have recourse to that satisfaction due from one gentleman to another. In vain they pledged themselves to meet at mowing's dawn, the insult was insisted on as being 80 gr<fss that nothing but the instant death of one of them coutjiitone for it. Pistols em cou being procured, and the distance, ten paces, being ma j *?Ut' u dea(% weapons were placed by the seconds in the trembling hands of the parties, with sundry necessary exhortations to "screw their cour- age to the sticking-place." The signal when to fire having being agreed on, <he men were placed, but without awaiting the word, one esconced himself be- hind a post, and the other behind a pigstve, and valiantly discharged their weapons. Whether it was owing to their remarkable position, or to the circum- stances of the seconds having omitted by accident1' to put any bullet in the pistol, certain it is that neither of them took effect, but the report was so loud that it brought the combatants to their sober senses, and it was with no little complacency that they received the high eulogiums of their friends on the cool courage that they had evinced, and their warm congratulations on the happy termination of such a bloodless "affair of honour."— Cornwall Gazette. EMIGRATION.—It was stated at a public meet- ing at Bristol, that within the last four years 94,000 Protestants had emigrated from 1reland-chiefly to British America and the United States About 400 have emigrated from the North of Ireland this year. Many of these emigrants are persons of some property. Their reason for leaving Ireland is the apprehension they eiiterfain of the insecurity of persons who profess the Protestant religion. LITIIOTRITY.-Tlie operation of lithotrity has recently been very successfully performed by Baron Heurteloup, on Mr. John Lord, who keeps the Patricroft Tavern, adjoining the Liverpool and Man- chester railway As this is the first case from this neighbourhood, and we believe from Lancashire, a few particulars may not be uninteresting to some of our readers. Mr. Lord, who is 50 years of age, had been for two years suffering under the excru- ciating torments of the stone and, being a very stout, corpulent man, the usual operation of lithotomy could not have been performed without very great danger. He therefore went to London for the pur- pose of undergoing the operation practised by Baron Heurteloup. The principal operation was performed on the 31st of May, when a stone upwards of an inch in diameter, was broken in pieces and nearly reduced to powder, in about three minutes. What will probably appear surprising to most of our readers, Mr. Lord, immediately after the operation, was able to walk from the Baron's house to his own lodgings, a distance of more than half a mile and, neither after that nor after any of 3 or 4 subsequent minor operations which were found necessary for the purpose of destroying different fragments of the stone, was Mr. Lord compelled to keep his bed. In two days after the last, which took place about the end of June, he was able to travel to Manchester by coach; and he is now perfectly free from every sympton. of the complaint and every unpleasant trace of the operatioii.-ivanchester Paper.
