SALOP ASSIZES.
SALOP ASSIZES. GWILLAN AND ANOTHER, V, PARKHn. T!iis was an action of Trespass brought by the going off Lessees, (at the expiration of a Lease of a Tenement and Lands at PJowden, the pro- perty of E. Plowden, Esq. against the coming-on xvk3,11!' *° recover = £ '40. the value of a crop of SffrOW,ing °uB one fie!(l' and claimed by the p.am ,ft* under the following circumstances.' Tho plaintiffs had a covenant iu thcirlease, al ,« i„: them to take off a certain averase of wheat to fe sown on fallows bur nor after Turnips, C ove, leys, or any other immediate crops. The plain- tiffs sowed the quantity of ground, but lot ic- cording to the covetiant for it was proved, that one field had a crop of turnips which were partly eaten and partly carried off, and the piece was immediately sown with wheat in the months of January and February. When cut, it was ricked in the stack-yard until the following- July, when i it was carried to a baro on the premises, one bay of which, and the use of the floor were reserved for tiie purpose of thrashing the corn be]on°dn°- to the going-off Tenant. When placed inbthe barn, they brought a thrashing maching and would have proceeded to thrash the wheat, had not the defendant mustered a strong force, and stormed the bam with the points of the pikel The de- fence set up was, that this crop not being grown in the manner prescribed by the lease, was sub- ject to a custom of taking off two-thirds, and leaving the cofiiitig-on tenant one third. From this defence arose two points of Law, (which we believe are reserved for a further hearing viz. whether the going-off Tenant having departed from the covenant in the lease, was entitled to any part of that Crop; and again, whether, if entitled at all by his lease, he was liable to any custom of taking one third. Mr. Justice Dam- pier directed the Jury to find a verdict for the Plaintiffs, in what they conceived to be the value of the wheat from the varying evidence given on that point; some of the witnesses, (among whom were E. Plowden, Esq. and Mr. South- ern) having stated it as a good average Crop, which produces about a bushel per threave, while others stated the produce at one half; and I without, retiring, they found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages = £ 120.—Couusel for the plain- tiffs, Mr. Dauncey, Mr. Jarvis, and Mr. Puller; for the defendant, Mr. Abbot. Attornics for plaintiff, Messrs. Lloyds of Ludlow for defend- ant, Mr. Russel.
GRENV I LLE SHARP, ESQ.
GRENV I LLE SHARP, ESQ. ALL pious Christians will have cause to la- ment the death of this Gentleman; in him the Christian Religion has lost a firm and zealous supporter, and the lleformed Church one of its ablest defenders. Like a true and faithful christian soldier, he was always at his post, ready to refute Ihe cavils of Infidels, and to poiiit out the errors of professing christians. In his various learned writings, he took un- wearied pains to expose, and correct the er- rors of the Church of Rome, and to'open the eyes of these deluded people to see the infatu- ation under which they were held, and led astray from true Christianity. In his Treatise entitled, Remarks on an important Text, (Matt. xvi. 18.) which has been perverted by the Church of Rome—" In support of her vain and baneful pretensions to Superiorityy, or Su. preme dominion over all othei- Episcopal Churches." It would he doing an injustice to the learned and pious author, to abridge his work, hy makiilg extracts and it would oc cupy too large a portion in our columns, to insert the various proofs which he has givcn of the errors of the Homan Catholics upon this Text. We shali give the last paragrapii. Thus a fair examination and comparison of the whole context, sets aside the vain suppo- sition of the tfomish Church, that Peter was the rock of Christ's Church! and I sincerely hope that a similar attention to this whole context, may prevent any future attempts, that might otherwise he prompted, by the prejudices of Roman Catholics, to bring for- ward again this icug-dispufed question, on which they have vainly set up the pretended ¡ Supremacy of the Romish Church above all other Episcopal Churches! and that it may be silenced, and set at rest, for ever hereafter."

TO THE EDITOR.
TO THE EDITOR. SIR, ———— It has been sufficiently ascertained, that un der rotations suitable to its natune, land will produce tro( d crops, with much less manure, than, when under a less favourable system.— The attainment of so desirable an object,calls forth the exertions of the improving farmer. As white crops leave land dry and stiff, and green crops leaveit moist, and free,- it appears as though nature intended, thai, the effects of (he one, should be corrected by the effects of the other. Let us then follow her dictates. Having obsèrved in my last, that, it is im- possible to lay down any general rules, where a combination of circumstances is to be at- tended to, I will not, in this instance, attempt more, than, to point out such rotations, as are supposed to be most advantageous to the tenant, and at the same time, just aud fair towards the landlord. But their mutual ad- vantages will ever be found inseparable.— Before i proceed, let me observe, that the courses I recommend, are those which are founded upon the principles of improved hus- bandry for it would be a loss both of my time and your readers, to dwell upon those of the old school, which are now exploded and which experience has proved to have been I wasteful and injurious. On clay, or loam. Beans, wheat, turnips, barley with seeds, grass, oats. Or, turnips, barley, beans, or pea! wheat, turnips, barley or wheat, with seeds, grass, oats. Or, beans, wheat turnips, barley, vetches, wheat with seeds, grass, oats. If very stiff land. Beans, wheat, beans, barley with seeds, grass, oats. If in a very friable slate, and the farm well supplied with meadow. Beans, wheat, turnips, barley. Ot, turnips, wheat, beans or peas, wheat. It may be remarked, that, 1 have classed clay, and loam together, whereas, there is a great dissimilarity in their nature I have done so. But, I am supposing them to be kept in a friable stale, by autumnal plough- 1.3 1 1 ings, and green crops; when, lhisdissimiiarity will no longer be material, it will be seen, I have omitted turnips in the fourth rotation, supposing the land to be in a very tenacious state but, after that course has been once adopted, the objection will' be removed.— Barley upon these iands in their original state, is a very precarious crop and equally so, if foul. Reverse t.he case, and it will be fonnd as certain. The fault with stiff clay, or loamy soils is, that, they become impenetrable to the fibres of plants. Here,then. lhat fault L corrected and by the beans, wheat, and tur- nips being invariably drilled and hoed, the other crops cannot be foul. I"ol., let it be recollected, that, iu agriculture, foulness and non-production are synonymous terms. On light land. Peas, wheat, turnips folded, barley with seeds, grass, oats. Or, turnips folded, barley, vetches, wheat, turnips, barley with seeds, grass, oats. Or, oats, peas, wheat, vetches, oats or bar- ley, turnips, barley with seeds, grass. On very light, sharp, gravelly land. Turnips folded, barley with seeds, grass, grass, grass, oals. -1 Or, vetches, oats or wheat if it will carry it, turnips folded, barley with seeds, grass, oats. Or, peas, oats, turnips folded, vetches, or buck-wheat ploughed in, wheat, turnips fold- ed; barley with seeds, grass, grass. If very rough and foul. Pare and burn fallow with lime, and fold with sheep, turnips folded, barley or oats will) seeds, pasture, as long as it will carry it. Ou very light lands, nothing makes corn cast so well, as folding with sheep. It will appear, I have confined myself to six, or eight courses, with the exception of two four courses but it must be good land to support the latter. It is evident, however, that, if cither of Ibera sre. strictly adhered lo, one halt of the wiii be under corn, and the other half, under green crops; but none of it is idle. One third of the corn land may be under wheat; but the wheat system cannot be carried farther, on the general run of land, without danger. It will also appear, that oats (and the pota- toe oat has the preference in all early situa- tions) are invariably taken aftergrass; wheat, on the clover lay, being exploded in all good as iiicerti in is growth, and subject to disease. Leguminous, or pulse crops, are found to be the safest preparation for wheat, and should be strictly adhered to. Perhaps, the best proof of tliis, will be found in the many thousand acres of land, in Eng- land and Scotland, which have been for a cen- tury, under a succession of beans, and wheat. It might puzzle the vegetable world to find any other two such valuable crops, which would not perish by the experiment. This I good fellowship, (if I may be allowed the ex. pression) may be accounted for, by the bean seeking deeper for its food ban the wheal.— When the land is not considered strong enough for beans, peas are equally as beneficial. Grass,seeds should always be sown with the crop immediately succeeding the turnip crop, and ought to bs sheep-fed the first year. On all bleak situations, they require lo be often renovated. To make a six, or eigbl-course complete, the land shollld be manured twice, viz. on the wheat stubbie, previous to the autumnal ploughing, aud if convenient, on Hie clover lay. There is one advantage allefiditig an eightcoiirse, "which is, that'some land gets tired of clover, if repeated too often. I havelaken no notice of potatoes, or cab- bages. The former are superseded by tur- nips and the latter are too exhausting, to find a place iu good husbandry to 11 certain degree, I hey will always be cultivat- ed to advantage, on account of the high price of corn. Buck-whcat ploughed in, is consi- ;1), is dered an useful manure, and a good prepara j tion for wheal, Oil land difficult of access.— Never having had any thing to do with moor- ish, or peaty laud, I decline saying more, than, from their nature (which by the bye is but little understood) they must be unfavorable j to far-"aceous mattcr, and should remain in grass, after having gone through (ifpossible) one good course of husbandry.

ROMAN CATHOLICS.'
ROMAN CATHOLICS. The following is a Copy of Ilia Petition intended to he presented hy the Catholics of Ireland to the House of Commons, immediately after Ihe 1 rt,cess To the Honourable the House of Commons, in Parliament assembled. We, the Roman Catholic People of Ire- land, again approach the Legislature with a statement of the grievances under which we labour, ami of which we most respectfully, but at lire same time, most firmly solicit the effectual redress. Our wrongs are so notorious, and so numerous, that their minute details is quite unnecessary, and would indeed beitupos j sihle were it deemed expedient. Age's of pro secutiou on the one hand, and 6f patience on the other, suiffciently attest our sufferings, and our submission. Privations have been answered only by Petition—indignities by re monstrance—injuries by forgiveness. It has been a misfortune to have suffered for the sake of our religion, but it hits also been a pride to )ri have borne the best testimony of the peri?y of our doctrine by the meekness of our cndnr- I ance. Like the great type of our adoration, we have not merely been the passive victims of unjust infliction, but we have endeavoured to expiate the cruelty of our-oppressors. We have sustained the power which spurned us —v we have nerved the arm that smote us—with a gratitude always superior to our privileges, we have lavish,ed our strength, our talent, and our treasures, and buoyed upon the pro- digal effusion of our young- biood, the tri- umphant Ark of British Liberty. H We approach then, with confidence, an enlightened Legislature, i II the name of N a- ture, we ask our Rights as Men—it: filename of the Constitution, we a*k our Privileges, as Subjects—in the name of God, we ask the sacred Charter of unpersecuSed Piety as Chris- tians; Are Securities required of us! !—We offer them — the best securities a Throne can have- the affections of a people. We offer Faith, that was never violated — Hearts, that were never corrupted — Valour that never crouched. Evcryhourof Peril has proved our Allegiance, and every field of Europe exhibits its example. We abjure all Temporal authority, except that, of our Sove: i acknowledge no Civil lie, save that of our Constitution —and for our lavish and voluntary expenditure, we only ask, a reciprocity of Benefits, Separating, as we do, our Civil Rights from our Spiritual Duties, we earnestly desire that they may not becoufolluded, We render unto Cassar the things that are Ca-sarV— but we must also "render unto God the things that are God's."—Our Church not de- scend lo claim a State Authority, nor do we ask for it a Stale Aggrandizement; its hopes, its powers, and its pretensions are of another wol-itl and when we raise our hands to the State, our prayer is not that fetters may he transferred 10 those hands which are raised for Its "o Heaven. We would not erect a splendid shrine even to Liberty on the ruins of the Temple. In behalf then of five millions of a brave and an insulted people, we call on the Legis lature to annihilate the odious bondage which bows down the mental, physical, and moral energies of Ireland and, in the name of that Gospel which excludes all distinctions, we ask Freedom of Conscience for the whole Chris. tian World."
MISCELLANEOUS.
MISCELLANEOUS. We are assured that Bonaparte was al Ham. burgh incognito oil the night of the 15th to 0, The Paris papers mentions the death of the Duke of Abrantes (Junot.) They might have added—" He is succeeded in his titles aed es- tales by Lord Wellington. By the Curate's Act it is enacted, that all non-resident incumbents, however privileged, shall within six months nominate curates to be licenced, under penalty of forfeiting (heir privileges for nou-residcuce. At Lincoln Assizes an action was tried, brought by the Master of the Bull Inn, at Market Deeping, against the Cornet of the Ness Volunteers, for the expenses of a dinner and liquors for fifty-four of the corps. The party sat down to dinner about half past four o'clock, and mostly retired before ten. The quantity of liquors charged was as follows One hundred and twenty six bottles of port, forty-eight of sherry, sixty-four lwlfernwn bowls of punch, and twenty (f negus, besides ale and porter.—Bacchus himself must have been Foreman of the Jury, for they gave a verdict in favour of the innkeeper, with only taking offsixjience per bottle on the port wine. A singular account has lately been publish- ed, of a boy born deaf and blind, who distin- guished substances by his touch and smell.— To the sense of smell he seemed chiefly in- debted for his knowledge of different, persons He appearnd to know his relations and intimate acquaintance by smelling Ihem very slightly, and lie at oliCe distinguished strangers at a considerable distance. When fi stranger ap- proached him, which he knew by his sense of smell, he eagerly began to touch some part of his body, commonly taking hold of the arm, which he held near his nose, and after two or three strong inspirations through the nostrils, he appeared to form a decided opinion. If this was favorabie,he expressed it by conti- nuing uearhim with mors or less satisfaction; but if unfavorable, he suddenly went off to a distance with expressions of carelessness or disgust. Sporting Varieties.—E. Rainer, the pedes- trian, who heat Captain Barclay's groom 100 miles on Sunhury Common, in May last, for a stake, run a hve match of mile on Tuesday in the City Hoad, for 20 guineas, against Mr. Holdsworth, a good runner.—Rainer gave his antagonist 100 yards at-starting, and in a quarter of a mile placed himself in a situation to pHs¡¡bifll at any Lime. Holdsworth did the mile in less than five minutes and a half, but the KeMish man passed him with great ease I some distance before the end of the race.— Rainer, who is now the champion of pedes trianism, is'again matched for 200 guineas to do 100 miles, 50 forfeit. He is to run against time, and he is engaged to perform it in 18 successive hours, wlsich is nearly six miles an time, and he is engaged to perform it in 18 successive hours,which IS ncarly six milell an hour, without time for stopping He will sun over Tenterdeu race course, Kent, the lalter end of next month. Heavy stakes are pending on the event. Huffey White, who suffered the sentence of the law on Friday se'nnigbt for robbing the Leeds mail, was one of the greatest dpredn-, tors on the town for iiia..iy years past. He was attached for gangs of robbers, consisting of housebreakers, (among whom he was an ex- pert workman, he having first embarked in this system tff robbery pick-pockets, mail- robbers, &c. lie was a man whose face did not by any means betray his profession, and he was remarkable for his silence and easy manner, lie was considered a very temperate mat), and is said never to have injured the person of any one in his depredatory career, but on the contrary, refused to be concerned with any any accomplices who indulged in as- sails on the person. White is said to have dis- I regarded the scaffold, and it seems he listened but lit lie to the exhortations ofthe clergyman, who, on asking him if he could administer any sort of comfort to him, was answered only by getting some other man to be hanged for him. A short time since, two young men, natives of France, made their escape from thai coun- try, to avosu the conscript laws. They found means to get off in a boat, and .vere taken up by a vessel bound to Ireland. One of them has a cousin settled in Glasgow, and they are both gone to Scotland. On their way through Belfast, they waited on a French gClltlemilll who resides there, and informed him, among other things, that there are scarcely any young- er middle-aged men to be seen in Paris, they all being drained away to serve in the armies. That the tyrannical system of Buonaparte ex- cites the greatest discontent and aversion.— i he getier-lity of the people would rejoice to embrace any opportunity of a change of Go- vernment, but the system of espionage iskept up with so much rigour, that every tiiaii is afraid to trust his neighbour with his thoughts. Nothing is more common, they Say, for a roan, who is imprudent enough to express his disapprobation of the Government, to disappear at once, and to be no more heard of: probably immured in a dungeon, or pri- vately put to dealb. It issaid that victims of this description are incomparably more nu- merous no w than under any former Govern- ment of France and ihe generality ofthe people would gladly co-operate in any well devised plan for Ihe restoration of the ancicul Dynasty fo the Throne of that Empire. Martin llugilll, a private of the York Ran- gers, is to be tried at the next Admiralty Ses- sions, for the murder of Lieut..Johnstone, of the 15th regiment. The following are the circumstances attending the perpetration of the deed I-logait, with other soldiers be longing to different regiments, were oil their passage to the West Indies, in the merchant ship Gunstan, as were also other officers. As is customary, these officers, though belonging to other corps, were commanding the detach- ments on board. One afternoon, in serving out the grog, Hogau had, or thought he had, a short allowance given to him he remon- strated, and for his unruly manner of doing so. was put into confinement, by having a handcuff put on him, and a sentry placed over him. A short time afterwards, the sentry wanting a drink of water, left him with his musket and ammunition. Hogan im- mediately seized the musket and loaded it, and wenl below to the officers' cabin, hailing them, and desired to have his grog. He also, wished them to promise, on their words of honour, as Gentlemen, that he should be re- leased, and nothing more be thought of his conduct. For a short lime the officers paused, but recollecting the conduct of the man was mutinous, and would have a bad effect on the minds of the other troops on board, Lieut. Johnstone told him to be orderly, and to Jay down his weapon. Ou his refusing to do so, Lieutenant Johnstone advanced from the ca, bin, with h's sword drawn, threatening to cut him down when, as Lieut. Johnstone was ascending the ladder, Hogan fired, and shot him dead. The murderer was immediately ascending the ladder, Hogan fired, and shot him dead. The murderer was immediately me(" e'y secured, and is now sen^ home for trial. In his confession he has denied that any person was in the least aware of his intention, The speculations on the hop Julys, f(?r the present year, are, that it will i-eacit ^150,000, from the favourable change that has taken place principally in the Farnham and Kentish grounds. General Moreau is arrived at Gottenburgh'- from America, and it is supposed that he come back to Europe on an invitation of Ber- nadotte. He will, it is said, have a command* and come iuto the field to measure himself- against Napoleon, The following recipe has, in many recent instances, speedily cured the hooping cough: Take a wine glass of rum, and twopenny- worth of spirits of turpentine, shake them well together, and rub the child, by the tire, gently down the neck and chine, night and morning, in a few days the cough will be cured. & By a IaL" Standing Order of the House of Commons, notices of intended application to Parliament for Bills for mclosmg, improving, or draining of Lands, must be inserted three tunes, during the month, of August or Sep. tember, m some newspaper of the in which the land is situated. Great depredations are ai. present said to be committed by pickpockets at Methodist meet, ings a waggish a stis- picion, that the preachers at the above-men- tioned piaets are themselves implicated,vfn in the circumstance of their exhorting persons to come unto them, that they may make (heir hllrthen light. When intelligence of the commencement of I hostilities between Great Britain and America reached Canton, there were lying in the river thirteen merchantmen-, belolling to subjects of the United States but owing to a general impression, that as the oslcntible cause of the war had been removed ou our part, an immediate peace would be the consequence, the ships were not taken possession of, but only detained until instructions should be reo ceived from England. The ships and cargoes, which are of great value, will now, no doubt, be seized and confiscated. The French Plenipotentiaries knew of the BailIe of Victoria several days before the Rus- sian, Prussian, and Austrian Plenipotentiaries. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that the French knew of the loss of their army in Egypt before we did, and immediately sent I Otto orders to sign the Prelilliinaries, gelling by our ignorance a value in exchange for an army supposed by us to be keeping the field though known by them to be prisoners of war. The French had, as we have just stated, a si. milar previous knowledge intlie preseiit case but it did not, as is reported, induce henz to consent to the basis prr-poscd by i he liie, in concert with Austria, When the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian Plenipotentiaries re- ceived Ihe inteliig-eucc of our great victory, Ihe Allies rose Iu their demands. Count ternich immediately upon receiving the-ïnfor- mation, asked the Count de Narbonne if lw had any news from the French army-in Spain? the IaHer answered that Jourdan had concen- trated his forces, expecting to attack the Bri- tish army, but that it had not taken place when the last accounts came away. Count Melternich is understood -.lot to have said any thing in rep I v but the immediate rise in the demands of the Allies sufficiently convinced the French Plenipotentiaries that they were: not ignorant of the issue of the battle. Lee, the Barrister, was celebrated for stu- dying effect when be pleaded. On lhe CIrcuit at Norwich, a brief was brought him by the relatives of a woman, who had been deceived in a promise of marriage. He enquired, among. other particulars, whether the woman was liniidsotibe ? "A most beautiful face," was the answer. Satisfied with this, he desired she should be placed at the bar, immediately in thc front of the Jury. When be rose lie bewail a most pathetic address, directing the attention (-)f the Jury to the charms that were placed in their view,* and painting in glowing colours the guilt of the wretch who could in- jure so much beauty. When he perceived their feelings wrought up to a proper pitch, he sat down, under the perfect conviction ot obtain- ing a verdict. But what was his surprise, when the Counsel retained by the opposite party observed, that it was imposible not to assent 10 the encomiums which his Learned Friend had lavished oil the face of the Plaintiff; but he begged leave to add one material fact, which his eloquent brother had ofiiitted-it was, that the fair damsel had a wooden leg. This circumstance, of which Lee was by no means aware, was established to his utter con- fusion —his ingenious and feeling address wa thrown away-and the Jury ashamed of the effects it had produced upon them, instantly gave a verdict for the Defendent.
