Surveys have been made of the line of country best adapted for accommodating the extensive traffic of the great mineral basin of South Wales, and the important agricultural interests of that country, as well as the inter- course between the ports of Cork, Waterford, Wicklow, Limerick, and Weyfcrd, the inland and manufacturing districts of England and the metropolis. The line leaving the Chehenham and Gre3t Western Railway a short distance south of Gloucester, (from whence a direct communication with every district in England will be effected by means of existing railways,) and crossing the Severn, would pass in the immediate neighbourhood of the rich mineral district 01 the Forest of the Dean, within an easy distance of Monmouth, to Chep- stow, Newport, (where is centered the extensive iron and coai trade of Monmouth.) and Cardiff, where it unites with the Taff Vale Railway, which, with the Glamorgan- shire Canal, brings down the whole mineial resources of that important district, thence through the rich agricul- tural districts of Lantrissant, Cowbridge, Bridgend, Porth Cowl, and Pyle, and the centre of the great copper and tin plate workssituate at Cwm-Avon,Neath, and Swansea, (where it is estimated that the three-fourths of all the copper raised in Great Britain Are smelted, and a great portion is now exported at a very considerable cost, to London and the north,) from Swansea to Carmarthen, and thenre it is proposed that the railway shall divide into two branches, one to the naval arsenal of Pembroke and the harbour of Milford Haven, and the other to Fishguard, whence a communication with the south of Ireland would be effected within six hours. The length of the line to Fishguard will be about 148 miles, which will be traversed in about five hours, re- ducing the journey between the south of Ireland and the metropolis to less than 15 hours, and bringing the import- ant districts of Wexford, Waterford, Coik, Carlow, Kil- kenny, Tipperary, Limerick the Shannon, and othei places, comprising a population of more than 2,500,000, within an easy distance of the whole ol England. For 60 miles the line will be nearly upon a level, and the whole can be made without auy peculiar difficulty or expense. The measure is strongly supported by the directors of the Great Western and other railway companies, who have a manifest interest in securing that the cks:gn shall be completed on the best principles for the advantage of the shareholders, affording certain evidence that the un- dertakirg is regarded as safe and profitable. Prospectuses, with plans, may be had, and applications for shares may be addressed to the Provisional Committee, 2, Princes-street, Bank; or to the solicitors, 10,Whitehall, in the form annexed. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow in- terevi at X4 per cent. per annumontheamouutofthe Fubscription,, up, and no subscriber wIn be answer- able for more than the amount ot his subscription. FORM OF APPLICATION. "To the Committee of Management of the S~tb Wales Railway Company.

They require no confinement nor alteration of diet; and their operation (which is promoted by moderate exercise) has been found so beneficial to the several or- ganic functions of the human system by their mild action' on the peristaltic motions of the Intestines, that they may justly be considered as a Panacea, or Universal Medicine. They strengthen the tone of the digestive organs, promote a healthy action of the liver, and remove those obstructions ofthe bowels which so frequently produce HEADACHES, DIMNESS OF SIGHT, HEARTBURN, FLATU- LENCY, WORMS, PILES, and a numerous train of other disorders. By the occasional use of these Pills, the above diseases are speedily removed, and the body per- forming its due functions the patient is thereby restored to the perfect enjoyment of health and strength.

The fine ricli flavour and very superior quality of STIVENS'S GREEN-GINGER WIN E bus long been admitted, and from its wholesome ingrfdief ts it has been strongly re- commended by the Faculty, as a salutary and efficient stomachic. To give a general circulation to the numerous testimo- nials of its superiority would be a needless expense; it may be briefly stated lhar it his satisfied the most critical tastes, and it is extensively patronised in the highest circles.

AT present, the popular opinion is that the natural duration of human life is seventy years, but this is contrary to both sacred and profane history. The opinion is, no doubt, founded on a misunderstanding of a passage of the 90th psalm, where it is indeed stated "that the days of our years are threescore Vt ar<. and ten, and if by reason of strength, they be fourscore-years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow." Now, it must be remembered, that this psfilm is ascr bed to Moses, and that he is not speak- ing of the lives ot men in general, but of what was occur- ring among the Israelites in the wilderness. His own lite, as well as the lives of the more eminent of his bre- thren, wis far more extended than even fourscore years; and as he complains of the people being cut olf, through the displeasure of Gud. it i. natural to conclude, that he is not alluding to the period during which men are capable of living, but simply to the tact that, owing to the judg- ments of the Almighty, which brtel the Urael.tis on account of their sins, but few of tlietn attained a more lengtheutd existence than that of seventy or eighty ye irs, for we are consumed," he says, I- by thine anger and by thy ivrath are we troubled." They died not a natural death, but were cut off through sin aud unbelief, by judicial dispensations. The clever Dr. Farre maintains that 120 years is the last grant of God to man, and quotes the tuh chapter ot Genesis and the 3rd verse, where it is -written, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that lie also is tit sh yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." Now, we find this expressed intention on the part ot God gradually carried into effect—the principle of vitality appearing to become weaker until the close of the era in which the postdiluvian patriarchs flourished; when, although several centuries have elapsed since the deluge, we iiiid that 120 years was about the average of human existence. Abraham lived to the age of 175 years; of his sons, Isaac and Ishmael, the former died at the age of ISO, and the latter at 137. Jacob lived to be 147 years old, and his son Joseph, though subject to all the excitements arising from the peculiarly trying circumstances in which lie was placed, reached the age of 110 years. Several ages after the time of Joseph, we find Moses living to be 120 years old; white the inspired historian relates concerning him, that his eye was not dim, nor bis natural force abated." Joshua, who succeeded him, in the government of the Israelites, died at tire ige of 119 years: and Eli, at a much later period, reached 89 years, arid then died, not of old age, nor of disease, but was killed by a fall from his seat, on hearing that the Philistines had triumphed over the Israelites, and slain his sons, Hophni and Phineas, and taken (he ark of God aince the commencement of the Christian era, there have been very many instances recorded of extreme lon- gevity. Such instances are still often occurring, and they are sufficiently numerous to prove that man is not so con- stituted as to render it inevitable that he should die at so early a period as usually bounds his present existence. Having now shown that the years of man are not limited to so brief a span as 70 years; first, from the bible, which expressly says, (6'tli chap. Genesis, 3rd verse) "Yet bis days shall be a hundred and twenty yearssecondly, from philosophy, which naturally infers that if one man has reached what i. now considered hn extended term 01 years, others may do the same again, true philosophy is always consonant with holy writ: thirdly, from the in- stances which have occurred of extreme longevity, can a reasonable mind require more than scripture, philosophy, and precedent? Supposing, then, that the theoty of long life is well sustained, the question is naturally supgested how are e to attain what is so desirable ? A wise gene- ral on the eve of battle makes a proper disposition of 111,. forces beforehand, and does not wait titi the enemy has made an attack, and thus by due preparation, reasonably expects a victory; thus he who has a desire to httaina healthy and consequently happy old age, tloes not inthi- lentiy wait for the attack of the enemy, which is sickness, but is constantly on his guard against his insidious ap- proaches, by paying proper attention to the state of his health. Many would fain occasionally use medicine to assist nature in her operations but like a mariner at sea without his compass, no' knowing where to steer, they first try this and then that, and meet with nothing but disappointment; to those how welcome must be the impor- tilnttilct thtltOld Thomab Parr'smedicineisillI that is required to tuniji,, r disease and prolong hfe the fine tonic proper- ties it has br en discovered to contain, invariably restore the stomach to a healthy longing f«r ^ood „iuer words, as it has been proved to be the ^ciiucal prepara- tion of herbs, which were collected by Old Parr to suit his once enfeebled system, and by its use he attained the astonishing age of 152 years. This discovery and the making of the compound into pills, is one of the greatest blessings that ever c..n be conferred for the general good on the whole hun'an family. The balsamic and invigorating effects on the blood pro- duced by these medicines are perfectly miraculous; many who have kept their beds for years have been so speedilv re-invigorated with an infusion of the new blood, and consequently new life and strength, that their re-appear- ance amongst their fellow-beings, who had Jong giver them up as insurable, is look^ «s tne great) st or the many arreaf v.uuaers of this miraculous age. The wtiole ot our system is built up from the blood-nerves, sinews, muscles, and evpn solid bone this being the case, the grand object is to keep this precious fluid (the b'ood,) in a pure and healthy state, for without this purity, dis- ease will show itself in some way or other, thus diseases known by the names of—abccsses, ague, aneurisms, asth- mas, billou, complaints, bhtrhes on the skin, boils, bowel complaints, burns, cincurs, cholera morbus, cholics, con- stipation of bowels, consumption, convulsions, cramps, croup, debility, dropsy, dimness of sight, ringworm, rheu- matism, dysentery, epilepsy, erysipelas, faintings, foul breath, fevers of nil kinds, female irregularities, fistulas, iiis, uux, ^out, giddiness, glsrsdular swellings, !ie.xd-ache^ heart-burn, hoarseness, inflammation, indigestion, jaun- dice, languor, leprosy, lethargy, liver complaints, low spirits., lumbago, measles, mortifications, nervous affec- tions, ossifications, pains in the bones, palpitations, palsy, paralysis, phlegm, piles, relaxation, retention of urine, scald heads, scrofula or king's evil, small pox, sore eyes, sore t iroats, stone, sfanguary, strictures, thrush, tic dolereux, trembling-, tunours, ulcers, venereal affections, white swellings, worms of every kind, wens, weakness from whatever cause. Cases of the above description have all been cured simply by the use of PARR'S LIFE PILLS, thus showing that what has been considered different disorders, and requirillg difiereut treatment, all originated in the same cause,^ and can be cured by one uniform treatment. PARK'S LIFE PILLS, although powerful in conquering disease, vet are as pure and harmless as new milk, and may be administered with confidence to the invalid, how- ever weakly from long ill-health, who will soon enioy those delightful symptoms of a return to strong health, viz. good appetite, sound sleep, and an increase of animal spirits. To have produced a medicine so benign and mild in its operation and effects, and yet so effectual in searching out and curing disease of however long stand- ing, exhibits on the part of Old Parr, deep research and a thorough knowledge of his subject. Those who have been the instruments of restoring tht long lost secret to the world, feel confident, when they make the assertion that NONE NEED DESPAIR, that if only a fair trial be given the result will be a RESTORATION TO HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. In consequence of the quantity of business still re- maining for consideration before the Chamber of Peers, the Parliamentary session cannot, it is said, be officially closed before the 5th of August. On Saturday, which was the first of the three days of the feces of July, a funeral service to the memory of the victims of the revolution was performed at all the churches. Monday being the third day, the occasion was celebrated with unwonted spendour. For the previous two years the death of the Duke of Orleans prevented any demonstrations of rejoicing on the anniversary of the revolution, but this year an extraordinary grant' was made by the Chamber for the purpose. There is no later news from Morocco than that contained in Marshal Bugeaud's despatch of the 15th. It appears, however, that the greatest anarchy prevailed in the country. The Marshal, in his last expedition, had advanced to the country of Guem Fauda. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 22nd confirm a report of the preceding day, that the Ministers of Finance and Justice had set off suddenly for Barcelona. This fact had created great sensation, as it was supposed that they had been sent for to assist at deliberations on some important measures against public liberty. The Castellano pretends that the Ministers had gone to Barcelona merely for the purpose of complimenting the Queen-mother on the anniversary of her birth- day. With all the tenacity to etiquette which characterises the Court of Spain, it is very unlikely that two of the Ministers would like so long a jour-1 ney for such a purpose, at a moment when their pre- sence in Madrid was so necessary. Accounts from Saragossa announce that the state of siege had been declared at an end. PORTUGAL. The financial difficulties of Portugal amount to a state of national insolvency. The government, una- ble to meet its engagements, convokes its creditors and solicits a renewal of its bills. In the meantime. some of those bills appear to have been protested, and paid immediately after. One instance is men- tioned of a bill of £ 225 of the government, passed in part payment of a loan, being tendered after it fell due and was dishonored, having been presented in payment of duties at the Custom-house, in accordance with the express terms of the contract, specified on the face of the bill, and having been refused by the director of the Custom-house. The suppression of newspapers, and persecution and prosecution of edi- tors, seem to occupy the chief attention of the govern- ment. Letters from St. Petersburg, of the 13th ult., state that no improvement had taken place n the situation of the Grand Duchess Alexandra. The life of the Princess was despaired of. The coronation of King Oscar of Sweden is to take place on the 21st of August. Tranquillity is now restored in Prague, but the troops collected there, to the number of 20,000 men, have not yet been sent back to their garrisons. The Swiss Vorort had, during the sitting of the Diet on tne 22nd ult., an almost unanimous majority on an important question. St. Gall proposed to refer to the ensuing Diet questions which were brought forward too late for discussion in the present session. This proposition was rejected by eighteen to two. GREECE. Nothing of very particular importance has occurred these last ten days. The elections seem proceeding favorably to the present government, but the inter- esting one of Nauplia is not yet decided, and it is yet much doubted if the Minister of War, Rhodios, will succeed against his formidable opponent Coletti. On Sunday, the 7th of July, an onomatarch, or sergeant of gendarmerie, made a disturbance in King Otho's new palace, which created a belief that he intended to assassinate his Majesty. In the forenoon, about ten o'clock, a man in the uniform of the gen- darmerie rushed suddenly past the sentinel at the front of the palace, tow ards the garden, with a large paper petition in his hand, which he began to waive, shouting at the same time Long live Alexander the Great." The sentinel called to lum to stop, and pursued him as he approached the private door of the palace. The second sentinel, seeing what was going on, placed himself before the door, and pre- sented his bayonet, calling to the gendarme to stand. The unfortunate man then drew his sword, and getting past the soldier, rushed to the corridor, when the sentinel finding it impossible to stop him other- wise, transfixed him with his bayonet, and he fell severely wounded. The man was conveyed to the hospital, where he is doing well, though the bayonet had gone through his body. There is no doubt the man was deranged. His name is Emanuel, and lie is a native of Asia Minor. He is about six feet high, of a prepossessing appearance, and served the whole of the revolutionary war, though not yet more than ¡ forty years of age. EGYPT. A letter from Alexandria says-The whole of the I Pacha's family, as well as that of Ibrahim Pacha, are here. The Pacha, who was threatened with dysentery, has quite recovered. It was his intention to have gone to sea last week on a cruise. However, the French Consul-General strongly protested against the step, as there could be no knowing what might happen to him while at sea, at this advanced stage of life. It is curious that while the Pacha is trying all he can to throw off the idea that he will die this year, everything only tends to convince him of his very advanced age. A trifling occurrence again for a while disturbed him, in the stoppage of a new car- riage he had brought out from France for his use. which is said to have cost 50,000f. On riding out in it for the first time it literally stopped, the axle- trees not having been greased, which the Arabs con sider as an omen of his stoppage too. Saied Pacha has been ailing, but it can be said to be from nothing else but the great bulk he is becoming. PRUSSIA. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE KING.—The follow- ing official account of an attempt upon the life of the King of Prussia, as issued at Berlin, is in the form of a circular letter to the Prussian Legations, from Baron Bulow, the Minister of Foreign Affairs :— The Lord has prevented a great calamity At the moment thnt his Majesty, on his journey to Erd- mansdorff, in Si!e?i3, weft into his carriage, in which her Majesty already was seated, for the purpose of driving to the railway terminus, a madman fired both barrels of a double-barrelled pistol at him. One of the balls missed altogether, and the other, without wounding, only left a slight trace on the breast of his Majesty. Her Majesty the Queen escaped the imminent danger by just at the moment accidentally leaning forward and in this way the ball, which otherwise inevitably would have hit the Queen, passed behind her. Their Majesties, notwithstand- ing this dreadful event, proceeded, nevertheless on their journey to Ermansdorff, whore, Heaven be thanked, they arrived in safety. The perpetrator has been arrested, and has undergone a preliminary examinanon—(Signed) Bulow. Berlin, July 26. The following is an extract from a publication of the Minister of Police on the subject The pei-pet ratoi- was, with a great deal of exertion, saved from the rage of the populace, and committed to the watch- house. He has been identified as a man by the name of Tscheck, formerly Burgomaster of Storkon and states, as the motive of his crime, that several petitions for another appointment had been without effect. He has been committed for trial."

AMERCIAN ROCKING CHAIR.—A novelty which pro- miscs to come into very general use. has lately beei. introduced into this country from America it is cal-! led the American Rocking Chair, and is adapted for the parlour, and study, the sick room, or the nursery. The chair is light, altogether novel in its appearance and construction, and produces, with the ieast pos- sible eilort, an easy, safe, and agreeable motion, for- ming a pleasant lounge, and a useful and elegant piece of furniture in the sick rocm. NINE VESSELS LOST IN THE ICE.—Letters have been received announcing the destruction of no less than nine vessels by the ice. Amongst them was the barque Jam's Harris, belonging to South Shields Mr. Jackson, master, which took place in the after- noon of the 26th of April last, while the vessel was on her homeward passage from Quebec. The ship was crushed between two icebergs, and the crew, in their confusion to leave the sinking wreck, forgot the carpenter, a native ef Hamburg, who afterwards got upon the ice to save himself; but the vessel shortly sinking, the ice disappeared with it, and the unfortu- nate man was drowned. The remainder of the vessels were lost some distance from Montreal.— Sunderland Herald. A New York paper states that the priest who has charge of the Catholic church of Columbus. Ga., has been tried at the last session of the Muscogee Supe- nor Court, and convicted of the crime of seduction. The judge fined him 700 dollars, with the privilege of paying that amount or going to gaol for three months. The priest chose" the latter punishment, and is now in gaol at Columbus, faithfully serving out his time. t, SUFFOCATION OF A CHIMNEY-SWEEP.—A few davs ago a little boy, the son of a chimney-sweep, was suffocated by slipping into an aperture, adjoining a flue at Gol- dings, the seat of Lord Reay. in Hertfordshire. The boy's father had sent the child up the flue, contrary to his lordship's directions, who desired that the ma- chine only should be used. On his calling for aid, a bricklayer was obtained to break a hole in the chim- ney but it was four hoars befoi^^sJ place was found where the poor boy had miserably^ perished. CLERKS TO ATTORNEYS.—On Saturday a bill was printed to relieve clerks to attorneys from certain lia- bilities under which they now labour, respecting the enrolment of their contract of clerkship with attorneys and solicitors. By a recent act some stringent pro- visions are in operation in regard to the conduct of I ca attorneys who practise without a certificate, and a very nice point would arise respecting a clerkship, whether the period that any attorney was without his certificate could he calculated in the term that a clerk in articles is required to serve. There is a clause, however, in the present measure to remedy such an evil. It is declared that the neglect of attorneys, soli- citors, notaries, &c., in taking out their annual certi- ficate, shall not disqualify their clerks from admission as attorneys, if not otherwise disqualified. IMPROVEMENT OF STEAM-ENdKEs.—Mr. Sorel has presented to the academy of siences, an outline of certain improvements in the Steam-engine. The first he calls a detached grate (depape grille) beneath the fire-grate to purify and facilitate the air passage to the tire. He says this will double the quantity of vapour generated, and applied to locomotives, will les- sen the weight and size of the tender, by lessening the quantity of water and fuel, and suppress or consider- ably enlarge the blast pipe, and save the absorption of power, which he estimates at 15 horse power. His second is an apparatus for evapouring the water mix- ed with the steam. He affirms that his apparatus will save 25 per cent. His third improvement is a new tubular generator, easy to clean, and of simple construction. A fourth is an apparatus to prevent the explosion of boilers and a fifth is a mechanism to regulate and moderate the speed of engines, indepen- dent of the variation in the pressure of the steam and in the resistance offered to it. SINKING OF THE STARLIGHT, IKON STEAM-BOAT.— An accident, providentially unaccompanied with loss of life, occurred at Westminster-bridge at nine o'clock on Sunday nidit to the '■ tar Ugh t steam boat, which plies between Chelsea, and London-bridge. On her passage i from Chelsea, at wich time she was crowded with passengers, she ran foul of the bridge, and received such injuries as caused her to spring a leak," and, so rapidly did she fill that before she could be got to near the pier by several feet she sunk; but, it being near low water at the time, she was not covered with water. By the time she went down all the passengers had, through the timely aid of the persons on the pier, and by the aid of planks, succeeded in leav- ing the vessel. Had it been high water at the time doubtless many lives would have been sacrificed. FATAL PRI;E-FIGHT.- VERDICT OF WILFUL MuR- DER.-One of those brutal exhibitions, which of late have happily been of rare occurence, took place last week in the vicinity of Northampton, and was attend- ed by the death of one of the combatants. The com- hatants were Frederick Fiuhugh (the deceased) and Daniel Cumberpatch. The young men (Cumberpatch more especially) having some pretension to pugilistic prowess, a match was made the stakes 10s. aside, j The combatants, with their seconds, backers, and a mob of mischievous persons, proceeded to the close, where the preparations was made for the fight, when —Smyth, Esq.. of Little Houghton, a county magis- trate, attempted to disperse the assembly but at length, after being abused and pelted by the crowd, Mr. Smyth rode off for the police, and on his return 0 the fight was at an end. The mob had partially dis- persed, and the deceased was lying on the ground in a state of insensibility. As he appeared to be dying 1 a cart was obtained, and, when the police were in the act of lifting the body, the mob rushed into the field and carried it off to a beershop, where the man died soon after. The deceased's father John Fitzhugh, an old man, had urged his son to fight, keeping the ring and exclaiming that "his son should either beat Ills man or go home a corpse." An inquest was held, and the jury returned a verdict of "Wilful Murder" against Daniel Cumberpatch, principal Samuel! Braines, Wm. Cooper, Edward Lenton, and Joseph Page, the seconds; and against John Fitzhusli, (father of djceastd), Charles Coles, and Henry King, as ac- i cessories. INCENDIARISM.—At Chelmsford, a boy nine years old was found guilty of setting fire to a'barn at Ram- j say. The urchin, apparently, committed the offence in mere wantonness. On Friday John Hardy, eleven j years of age, was convicted of tiring a stack of straw at Steeple Bnmpstead. When taken into custody.! he said fh": his master had beaten him, and he co mitted the act to revenge himself. At Huntingdon, on Wednesday, Samuel Baxter, a boy ten years old, was convicted of setting fire to some straw-stacks at Hemmingford Abbots. He was recommended to mercy by the prosecutor, on the ground of the ab- sence of any evil motive for the act but Baron Al- derson sentenced him to fifteen years' transportation I promising, however, to recommend his case to favour- able consideration in the proper quarter. SHOCKING CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA.—The Cork Exa- miner of Monday contains the following:—Painful indeed is our duty to announce the daalli of Mrs. De- vour, the second victim to this fearful malady in one family within the short space of five months. The sad death of the young and graceful girl, the first j victim, excited general horror and consternation but who can describe the feeling with which the announce- ment of the second death will be'received by the pub- lic ? For more than five months the terrible poison lurked in the veins of this amiable lady, until it at last manifested its presence in t1 at horrible agony which heralds the d'ssolution of the sufferer. A cor- respondent of the same journal, writing from Mallow, on Sunday, says, An account of Mrs. Delacour's death has reached town. She fell a victim to that dreadful malady against whose ravages science has as yet, discovered no antidote—hydrophobia. It ap- pears that the little dos which c utsed Miss Delacour's death, about five months since, licked Mrs. Delacour's face at that time and she has since had a horror of the fatal disease." FIYE GENERATIONS.—On Sunday last there were pre- sent at the baptism of an infant child, at Woodches- ter Church, his mother, grandmother, great grand- mother, and great-great-grand mother, that. is, his grandmother's grandmother, 'which last had walked no small distance twice to church on that dav haie and strong, and had attended the Lord's table.—Glou- ces'er Chronical. THE WRECK OF THE "JOHN O'GAUNT."—The vessel destroyed by Captain Warner, off the coast, was 0 washed ashore on Tuesday night, during the stiff south-west gale, in the presence of several hundred spectators. She was observed to float about three o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as her ballast was washed ont of her, she separated into several pieces, and the fragments of the wreck drifted down channel past the chain pier. The sea beach was strewed with her timbers. Not the slightest accident has happened by any contact with the hull of the JMU O irautit. Tiie wreck was complete. WKECK OF THE MISSOURI.—A letter from Gibral-1 uer Day states that opera lions asainst the wreck of the American fngate Missouri are going on well, and that it was expected that she would be aioat in two | or three weeks from 1st July. The work was a most arduous one, operations hr.vinc to be conducted under a burning sun with the thermometer at 125, and in the shade varing from 95 to 110.

CONTEMPORARY PRESS. INCENDIARISM IN SVFFOI K.—The presentment of the grand jury of Sufioik. relative to the causes of iueendia- t ism, is entitled to notice, as an authoritative statement uf the views of the Sufioik gentry on the subject. It seems to have been drawn up for the purpose ot making as little as possible of the prevalence of iiicendiat IMU. The attempt J is made, to produce an impression that the si read of crime has arisen from temporary and aa-ideutsl causes—that efficient and zealous exertions have been made by every iclass of people to bring' the incendi.tries to justice— that low wages hive had little or nothing to do with the fires and that, in a word, the peasantry generally are iu happy hu i prosperous condition. The anxiety of h body repiv- sentii g the Suffolk gentry to rm torth conclusions like these, in the teeth of the mass ot fnets known to the public, is almost as bad a sympton of the stare of rhe country -JS j ilie series of outrages to ivhkh their conclusions refer. It shows, that, if there be le'mranee «nd discontent amongst the ptvsantrv, there is iguoranee as great, and more culpable, amongst their superiors, as well as some- thing like insensibility to the peculiar duties of their station. Let any one consider hr a moment the contents and bearing ot the following para^ranh. the most impor- tant in the ireieDtineilt: IT) rl,; the witnesses upon tlie respective bills which have come before us, with a view of eliciting from them the causes, the motives, and the instigations by which the parta i implicated have been led to the perpetration of the crime of arson and threitening letters, ,ve regret that we cm arrive at no satisfactory conclusion as applicable to any one system, or to any prevailing cause, that has sufficiently manifested itself to suggest any remarks. We can, there"- fore, only present the following as cur ana'.vsis of the cases which have come before us, of which there appear to be seventeen committed by children or young persons under the age of 20. and thirteen by persons .above that age- namely,fourarisiirg from inadequate employment, thirteen from malicious feeling towards individuals, eleven from actua) tntschief and without any premeditated or criminal intention, one oniy by a party travelling about the counttv as a vagrant, and four for which we cannot discover nny cause or motive whatever." After this lucid and satisfac- tory analysis, the grand jury proceed to express their "great pitasijre" zit one thing, their "great satisfaction", at another, and then conclude with ''congratulating the couiity" that their assize duties have given them no indi- cation v, hatever of the let lings of t' e labouring class. Such are the felicitations which the intelligent grand jurors of Suffolk consider a fitting accompanimtnt to thetr clas- sificHtion of thirty-three incendiary crimes. Of the far gredtet number of crimes for which no one has vet been brought to justice, they do not say one word.— Chronicle. WHOLESALE LEGISLATION.—We recollect no former session of parliament in which so lar^e an amount of im- portant business has been kept hack with so little anpa- rent necessity, if not without a): parent reason, till towards the end of the session then t, he smuggled through or forced through the routine forms of legislation without affording either the house, or the public out of doors any fair chance of expressing uri opinion upon the merits or demerits of the measures. It has often happened, that a great arrear of business 1MS remained to be g.;t through in the dog-days; and it has not been unusual for the com- mons I hen to display great alacrity in forwiirding- bills to the ether house, where half of them wete sure to be crust- ed or thrown over till the next sesssien.
