G LAM ORG A NSHIR E. 4 THE PLYMOUTH INSTATES. — We 1Inders!an(] t'.iat in tlie disposition of the Rst;itcs if the late Earl of Plymouth, Ih. Hon Robert Clive, M. P son of the lvirl of is comes into the possession of 29,0001. a year, in wbieh are included the whole of the Glamor- ganshire estates. The honourable gentleman's resi- dence at present is in the neighbourhood of Bishop's Castle; but we hate great pleasure in learning that it is his intention to reside a part of the year at St- I-avail's fas le, near C-irditf. We are hitp^y to hear that the honourable gentleman has a son and several daughters; but, in the possible contingency of their leaving no issue, the estates arc to devolve on Lord Viscount Bolmesdale. uterine brother to the deceased Earl. The late E.ii-I. not having anticipated that he huulcl besurviveo by his uncle, the present Earl, had entirely omitted to make suitable provision in his will; so that the present Earl succeeds to the title without an acre of the family estates The highly honourable character of Mr. Clive, distinguished as it is for nuoie<ous benevolent and amiable qualities, cannot tail to render his succession to the Glamorgan- shire estates, and his consequent residence in the county, a most gratifying event. Ei.sTKDDFOD.—Mr. Parry, of musical celebrity* we understand, is now at Cardiff, arranging prelimi- naries for the approaching Eisteddfod. It is rumoured that the Rev. Bruce Knight, and the Rev. Daniel Evans, known by the bardic name of Daniel Ddu, are to be two of the judges. NEATH BAZAAR.—This charitable institution was opened at the Town-hull on the 23d instant, and displayed, by means of different stalls, superintended by females, various specimens of paintings, drawings, and other articles of science, chiefly the production of ladies, influenced by a desire to forward the laud- able objects of the charity. To enumerate the ele gance, ingenuity, and number of specimens exhibited on this interesting occasion, would be too tedious, and next to impossible sortice it to say, that they were of that attractive description as to draw from the willing pocket the large sum of 80l. for the benefit of the fund. ST. MARY HIM-—At this fair on Monday last there was a strong muster of dealers, and generally a very fair shew of stock; yet the sales were slow, and by no means satisfactory. There was a brisk de. mand for inferior horses, but the prices were low and in the cattle department, in consequence of the scarcity of pasture food, the sales were extremely flat and prices depressing. A number of the light-fingered gentry were present, and it is supposed that a fight between a tinker and a sweep was got up by some of those amiables to cause a crowd; one indiscreet gentleman getting into the melee was eased of his watch worth 18 guineas. WANTON Canary.—ON Sunday morning last, two servant-men, in the employ of Mrs. Williams, who holds a farm at Ely, near Cardiff, worried and drove with dogs a valuable Alderney cow, the pro- perty of Dr. Hopkins, of Llandaff, and forced the poor nimal over a very high bank into the river Ely, where the animal was instantly suffocated. Those abetting and encouraging ruffians in such brutal and barbarons treatment to dumb animals are just objects of the severity of the law. Another animal "óulù have suffered the same fate, if it had not been prevented by some persons coming up when the dogs were in the act of worrying it. BURGLARY.—On the night of the 22d of this mouth a house belonging to a labouring man at Llan- blethian was forcibly entered while the man and wife were asleep upstairs. The thieves succeeded in getting in at the window of the lower room, and, undisturbed, rifled a chest of drawers, from which they took five sovereigns, six silver tea spoons, marked M. D., two silk hankerchiefs, a silk shawl, and a gold ring. The five sovereigns had that day been received by the woman for washing, and had been reserved to pay the rent of their cottage. Uufortunately the thief or thieves remain still undiscovered ROBBING GARDENS —Two boys, named Thomas Morgan and Thomas Davies, were convicted on Tues day last of robbing the garden of Mr. Rhodes, at Aberdare, of fruit. These delinquents climbed the trees on Sunday last, about three o'clock in the after- noon, and handed over the fruit to other boys who were waiting on the other side ofthdfrvall. The pri- souer Morgan said in his defence tha»it was generally understood that Mr. Rhodes, the owner, had aban- doned" the garden; and that gentleman remarked that certainly such were the depredations committed upon himself and his neighbours in that respect, that he had for years considered that he might as well abandon the cultivation of his garden Th worthy magistrate, J. B. Bruce, Esq. read aloud the act rela- tive to the offence, which affixes a penalty not exceed- ing six months imprisonment, or 291. fine, and said that for the protection of the public against this in- creasing nuisance, the magistrates would in future carry the law into full effect. In the present case he trusted the ends of justice ufould be answered by im- posing a fine of half a crown and costs; in default of payment of which the two offenders were committed for a month, 41 CAUTION CO THE PUBLIC. swindler, de- scribing himself as John Davies, timber merchant of Nantgarw, met a poor farmer of the name of William Edwards, residing at Cwmbach, Aberdare. and stated that he haid received tt considerable sum of money for timber, and begged to leave a cheque and a ^antity of sovereigns at the pop*- man's house for safety. While there for this purpose, he watched tl*p temporary absense of the people, and stole a watch and six silver spoons. The sovereigns were gilt medals of William IV, of about the va'ue of one penny per dozen. The same man has been practising various frauds both at Virthyr and Hirwain, and from measures no.v taken there is a great probability of the villain's apprehension. DREADFUL ACCIDEN-r.-On Saturday last a sudden explosion offoulair took place in one of the Pen- trebach pits, by which three youths, named John, David, and Nathaniel Lovatt, the sons of John Lovatt, collier of Plymouth Iron Works, were burnt in a dread- ful manner. The youngest son, a boy only seven years of age lost one finger frorw each hand; and one of the mutilated fingers was shewn by the father of the unfortunate youths when he applied at the^Justice ^to^fcto establish their parochial settlements. ESCAPE FROM PRISON.—On Monday night the 26th inst. Richard and Robert Harwood, smiths work- ing at Dowlais Works, made their escape from the lock-up-house by breaking a hole in the wall. The prisoners were confined on a charge of stealing files, the property of the Dowlais Iron Company. fichard, one of the brothers had been only the last week ap- preheuded in the lodgings of Samuel Morris tinman, on suspicion of breaking into the hfcse of Mr. Darker, and committing the burglary iroticed in our paper of the loih inst. but an alibi was then proved on the oath of the woman where he lodged. They are natives of Porlock in Somersetshire, and had been working for some time at Dowlais. The very insecure station for lodging prisoners has long been a reflection (considering the very large proportion which Merthyr conlributts to the county rates,) as much upon the county at large as upon the inhabitants of the place. We have had occasion before to notice this subject, and we sincerely hope that steps will be taken forth- witboto remedy so crying an evil. DREADFUL ACCIDENTS AT HIRWAIN IRON WORKS.- On the 13th inst. a miner, at Hirwain, named "Thomas Davis, a native of Rumney, Brecon- shire, was pushing an empty tram into the carriage of a balance pit, when he unfortunately missed the track in which he intended to go, and was precipitated, with his tram, to the bottom of the pit, a depth of 46 yards. When the body of the unfortunate man was discovered, his head was completely smashed to pieces and on the following day a piece of his skull, about the size of the palm of a man's hand, was found on the spot. He has left a widow and three children to mourn over their loss. NEGLECT OF GUNPOWDER.—On Wednesday week the wife of William Hugh, a collier, at Hirwain, went out, leaving in the house two children of the age3 of five and six and there were six pounds of mining powder on the table. In consequence, it is supposed, of the children throwing some of this powder into the fire for amusement, in about two minutes after she left the bouse, the powder ex- ploded, blowing off the roofs of that and the adjoining house, and- leaving the rest of the building a perfect wreck. The two children were immediately picked out of the ruins and attended by Mr. Forrest, Surgeon of Hirwain, from whom they received the most humane and careful attention but we regret to state that one of them survived its sufferings only a few hours, and the other it is feared will not recover. DEATH BY I1 IRK.—On Tuesday last a littU- child belonging to John Richards, shoe-maker, living opposite the Castle Inn, during the absence of its mother, went to a tabic where there was a lighted candle, in playing with which the poor little child set fire to its clothes, and was so dreadfully burnt that it survived but a short time. DRRADI-TL ACCIDENT.—On Monday last, an infant, 15 months old, the son of Win. Gay, miner, at Pontmorlals, crawled out of the house in the moment- ary absence of his mother, when a tram heavily laden came up, and passed over both his legs! Mr. Russell, surgeon, immediately rendered his able assistance on the occasion, but found it necessary to amputate both the limbs; and even during the pain of this opera- tion, the poor little innocent derived rcliefby imbibing nourishment from the breast of a woman who was present It is but justice to the driver of the tram to state, that a few moments before the painful oc- currence he had called to the child, who was then sitting near the road side, and out of danger, not to move; but the poor little infant went forward to the tram as it came up.
MONM O UTHSHIRE.
MONM O UTHSHIRE. A SINFIT'T-AR CURIOSITY.— A splendid specimen of the Agave Americana (or great American aloe), in the possession of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart at Tre- degar, Monmouthshire, is daily expected to develop its its magnificent blossoms, having attained a growth ot one hundred years. The plant, which belougs to the l'ixth class and first order of Hexandria Monogynia, is a native of South America, Its stem is upwards of 15 feet hi/h, attached to which are a series of chan- delier branches, supporting myriads of buds some- what similar in form and colour to the snow drop. The petals of the flower are partially expanded, and off-el. the promise of an exceedingly rich and beautiful display.
1 BRECONSHIRE.
BRECONSHIRE. At a Special Meeting of the Breconshire Turn- pike Trustees, held at Brecknock Shire-hall, on Wed- nesday, 2lst August, 1833, convened by the Clerk, in pursuance of an order of the meeting of the 14th August, 1833; it was resolved that the road from Derweny-groes to Porthmawr in Crickitowell be com- pleted. This road will open a direct communication between Brecon, Crickhowell, and Abergavenny, bya good level turnpike-road, on the right bank of the Usk, and will not only be attended with very beneficial effects to the places on its line, but it may eventually facilitate the travelling from London to Milford Haven. John Parry Wilkins, Esq. of Maesderwen, W. R. Stretton Esq. of Dany-park, and the Brecon Old Bank, most spiritedly came forward with'an offer of the necessary funds, which were accepted by the meeting, and a committee was formed to carry the desirable object into effect.

REVISING BARRISTFRS.-Tlie Hon. Justice Bosanquet has appointed the following gentlemen to be Revising Barristers of the represective counties and boroughs in South ales, for the ensuing year Glamorganshire and its Horoughs-Johu Wilsou, Esq., E. Vaughan Williams, Esq. Breconshire, Radnorshire, and their respective Boroughs-James Evans, Esq., J. F. Leach, Esq. Carmarthenshire and its Borougla-Geo. Chilton, Esq., Henry Wedgewood, Esq. Pembrokeshire and its Boroughs—H. Sockett, Esq., Herbert Jones, Esq. Cardiganshire and its Boroughs-H. Sockett, Esq., R. C. Nicholl, Esq. HARVEST.—Owing to the continued fine wea- ther, during the past week, our harvest has been brought almost to a conclusion the crops generally prove, without exception, to be both abundant in quantity and excellent in quality. M ILF?RD.-)NQUEsT.-On Tuesday morning last, an inquest was held before J. Stokes, Esq. coro- ner, on the body of Mary Thomas, a female living in the service of Mr. 1 Phillips, druggist, Haverford- west. The deceased, it appeared, was seized with a sudden fit of apoplexy, and dropped down while pur- suing her ordinary course of employment. Verdict— Died by the visitation of God. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—The Beaumaris Re- gatta was held last week, and during the pleasurable enjoyments incident to the occasion, amongst the competitors for one of the prizes was Mr. John Pindar Wright, formerly of Hereford, and editor of the Carnarvon Herald. In the afternoon of Thursday, in his own boat, he started with several others about one o'clock there were on board himself, his son, a pilot, and and a sailor boy; on returning, when within a mile of Beaumaris, and second in the race, whilst endeavouring to make a tack, a heavy sea struck r the boat, filled her, and she instantly sunk. Mr. Wright's son, the pilot, and boy, were saved by the boats from the shore, but Mr. Wright himself sunk and his body had not been found on Saturday. We regret to state he has left a widow and six chil- dren, the youngest only ten months old, totally un- provided for, to lament his sudden and melancholy fate. A man named Thomas Thomas, was lately apprehended in Birmingham, charged with sacri. legiously stealing the communion plate, &c., from Old Radnor Church. Last week he was examined before the Right Hon. Thomas F. Lewis, Esq., M. P, and Major Barnes, and fully committed to Presteign Gaol, to take his trial for the offence. DARING ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.—Yesterday, between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, as John Jeremy, in the employ of Mr. W. G. Thomas, maltster, of this town, was returning home from Newcastle, he was attacked by two men, one wearing a velvet frock coat, and sinofr about 7in., the other having on a shabby black coat^^pd waflVj&er. The former, who spoke Welsh, laid 'hold of uRWmdle, and said, You must alight." Jeremy replied, What for? I will not alight." He then said, You must alight, for you have money by you." Jeremy said that he had but three or four shillings. The fellow then said, Yes you have, you have been collecting money for a person in Carmarthen, and we must have it. The other felltfw then caught him by the collar of his coat, and attempted to unhorse him, but the collar tearing, he failed in his ^fcsign. Jeremy then struck him a blow with ft stick which felled hinft to tbe ground, when the other villain struck Jeremy with a staff, which brought him Jk> to the ground; a struggle now ensued, when the rascal succeeded in putting his hand in Jeremy's pocket, when a man with a cart of turf very opportunely made his appear- ance near the spot; the villains thdecampd down the mountain side and were soon lost sight of in the dingle below. Jeremy saw the fellow with the velvet jacket a few hours before sitting down in a public house, in New- castle, where he went toon business, and would recognise him if he were to see him again. Jeremy fortunately escaped without any iiijtiry excepting a few bruises on the face and other park of his hody- Carmarthen Journal. "BONNE BoUCHE" FOR ABSENTEES.—A band of 27 thieves has been detected at Naples, consisting pqj>pipal|y of coachmen and grooms belonging to wealthy foreign fan..i lies. -Ga liynct, u i's Messenger. RAILWAY.-A Railway communication is pro- posed between Edioburgh and Leith, the cost of which is estiuAted at 120,0001.: the estimate of revenue 28,000/. a yeaJr or tweuty-four per cent, on capital sunk. CURIOUS INVENTION.—Mr. Macneill has in- vented an instrumeut which he calls a Rokd Indi- cator," for ascertaining the comparative merit of roads, and the state of repair in which they are kept. This machine shows the exact power required to draw a carriage over any line of road and Mr. M. proposed to employ it at stated intervals of time, for the gjjr- pose of keeping a registry of amount of horse power employed in drawing a carriage over the road at dilfe. rent seasons, which, by comparison, will show whether the road has improved, or become worse and also the places where such improvement or deterioration has taken place. A STATE OF TRADE.—The woollen is at pre- sent considered very dull, when compared with the late demand for goods. The markets on Tuesday were fiat, but as the stocks in the cloth halls are low, there is no reason to fear any very great slackness in the manufacturing departments for sometime. Leeds j Intelligencer, "s To the GENTLE MEN, TRADESMEN, § OT!fEUS of the BOROUGH of MERTHYR TYDVIL. GEXTI.EMEJI,—The inhabitants of the town of Swansea, are now making noble and strenuouS eHorts in endeavouring to effect an alteration in the present Mail delivery, to their populous and* increasing neiah- bourhood.

" TITHE LI TIG A TION, by…
TITHE LI TIG A TION, by J. R." vide CAMBRIAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GUARDIAN. SIR,— My attention has been rather strongly excited by an advertisement in the last Cambrian, signed '■ J. R. which assails with a somewhat vehement bitterness, a Reverend Divine who has commenced one process to settle the point of right as to his tithes The advertiser, at the same time attacks the character of Mr. David Powell, the solicitor acting on the occasion, with a disen- genuousness which is quite in keeping with the spirit of Christian charity that pervades the whole. Sir, I am not about to advocate those obnoxious parts of the tithe system which have sprung up in an age when the niceties of legislation were not so well understood as they since are, and which have been prolonged, only from the extreme difficulty of altering so very complicated a subject in all honest way but I do love that every man should have his own and I do wonder that people should sign theiiiselves j. R. when their real names have no such mi la s. Sir, I am quite ready to admit that the present system for the collection of tithes is capable of much impiovemeiu: that it is objectionable from the extreme uncertainty to which the former is exposed as to the amount for which he is liable; that it leads to much vexatious litigation that it frequently causes, in a thou- sand ways, loss of time, loss of money, irritation of spirit, and estrangement highly detrimental to religion, between the clergyman and his flock. But, Sir, notwithstanding all these "clouds, and these signs, of which J. R." would most alarmingl3, warn us, until the law of tithes, as now established, is changed, the clergyman is as much entitled to his ecclesiastical privileges as any one else is, to any other description of property whatever. Our author, by way of gilding (and only gilding) his reasoning, brings forth the Osprey of America, and by a metaphor of bis own, wou d assimilate the parson to this ravenous bird who, lie would infer, by the voraciousness of his nature, destroys the very object of his desires! But let the metaphor pass. Have we no land Ospreys in this climate ? And would not the poor and half famished coblers of the district surround the Throne of CRISPIN, if they could, and put a stop to his voralty. Yea, yea, verily-they would. With respect to the lawyer, so peevishly brought in, and so coarsely referred to by the author of" Tithe Litigations, 11 is not that gentleman, I ask, even if he were not one of the most amiable and honourable of his Order, justified in obtaining for his client those rights and privileges agree- ably to the legal rules and forms of process laid down for that purpose? But for the information of our laudably and zealously disposed author," petrified at the idea ot extortion, or that an attorney should have any thing like a rich harvest" in the line of his profession, he it known for his quictand peace of mind, and for all whom it may concern, that Mr. David Powell, in the discharge of his duty to his client, for the ends of justice, though not for his own emolument, filed only one bill for the whole parish, whereas he might have filed one hundred and upwards, if he had so chosen; but Mr. Powell had respect for his high character, for the profession, of which he is all ornament, and for the advantage of all those who were concerned in, at best, an unpleasant proceeding. Perhaps, Sir, it would not be going to too great a length to conclude that this liberal and praiseworthy act of Mr. Powell, is a solitary instance of the kind on this occasion, throughout the kingdom. Your's, &c. M. [Who this I. R. this Osprey correspondent of the Cambrian may be, weknow not; but this we do know that by precisely the same right by which 1. R. pos- sesses whatever property belongs to him, the Clergy- man possesses his tithes. If there be, in the case in quegtion, a dispute between the Clergyman and some of his parishioners, it is a dispute as to a point of right, which the Clergyman most properly brings be- fore the legal tribunal of his country, and that in the manner the least vexatious by which he can assert his right. We believe that 1. R. would feel strangely confused if any of his debtors, in whatever business he may be, should, by contumacy, refuse to pay him their lawful debt; and plead his own example, in this instance, for so doing And with what sort of countenance will I. R. look his neighbours in the face, when he himself can go about to stir up a multitude to combine by numbers to act thus towards one per- son, and that person a minister of Christ ? -ED. G. G.]

Ti 1E CU A NCE hLOR OF LL…
Ti 1E CU A NCE hLOR OF LL A N S) A IT'S I CHAUGE TO THE CLERGY. -0- The Rcv. Chancellor, in his admirable address to the Clprg-y, thus beautifully holds lip to view the moderate and truly Christian spirit which character- ises the English Church, and her affectionate zeal to embrace in her flock sincere Christians of every de- nomination. The moderation of the Church of England is known unto all men. In hor articles, no bitter anathemas will be found directed against the different societies of Christians, nor any against such as refuse to join in her communion. I he strong denudation in the eighteenth, is levelled against those only who would set up some other name than that of Jesus Christ whereby men must be saved- Nor again has any other Church shewn a more maternal anxiety to embrace within her bosom even those whose sentiments were not in perfect harmony with her own. Nor has this conciliating spirit been the result of artifice and craft, 'nor of dubious and equivocal language: a discreet avoidance of unnecessary dt fruition, a careful abstinence from certain points, and going no farther than Scripture led by the hand, in questions eagerly disputed by others and rashly defined, have characterized her wise and gentle course. It was this excellent and tolerant spirit universally manifested and acknowledged, that induced a distinguished foreign writer to consider our Church as the right medium ot reconciliation" between other Churches; nor have endeavours been wanting on the part of many pious and enlightened men, to propose some scheme of union con sistent with sound principles, whereby not only other Churches should be induced to join with us, but by which our own countrymen, whose separation we deplore, should be brought back into our communion. That a purpose so divine has not yet been crowned with success, should be no argument against future trials. Oh! could such a measure be wisely and safely wrought, happy would be the framer of it!—blessed should such a peacemaker be '.—dear his remembrance upon earth, great his reward in heaven! In addition, however, to the tolerant character of our Church, we refer with peculiar satisfaction to her just pretensions to the name of Catholic, or universal. "The proud, corrupt, exclusive, despotic genius of the Church of Rome, has long deprived her of all honest title to the appellatton. But the Church of England is truly Catholic, in making no claim to be exclusively considered as the Church of Christ, out of which there is no hope. She is Catholic in her Apostolical Constitution, she is Catholic in her creeds and formularies, she is Catholic in maintaining the fundamental principles of Protestantism, that Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation.' "The Papist, in setting up tradition the Infidel, in his appeal to unassisted reason; the Fanatic, in his wild enthusiasm-, each, in his several proportions, regards some authority as superior to the word of inspiration with us it is a received Catholic maxim that the Bible only is the rule of faith. Such is the Church of England Such is that holy system of light and love which, through the blessing of God, is proclaimed by an accredited Ambassador in every parish throughout the kingdom. "That this Church, so Catholic, so pure, so excellent, so established on the foundations of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner- stone, is a Church all glorious, without blemish and with- out spot, will not, I think, be maintained by any of the most zealous of her sons nor shall it be maintained by me, who will yield to none of the children whom she hath nourished and brought up, in the revercnce and love which I bear to this venerable mother. But before the admission be construed into an argument against her, let me ask, can such a character be predicated of any visible Church under heaven? Who shaH show us a perfect church on earth ? Where is this field without tares ? Where is the society of Christians so without sin, as to be justified in casting a ktolic against our sanctuary ?"
THE PROTESTANT VHURCH.
THE PROTESTANT VHURCH. We insert the following extract from a very masterly article in the Standard, which we regret that our space will not. allow us to insert entire. It will clearly explain, to Protestants of every persuasion, what sort of toleratIon they in a few years will probably find uuder a Whig government: it is useful evidence, to men who have anything to lose, of the security which such a government will afford for property: provided the attacks against it be only sufficiently daring When Mr. O'Connell commends a measure connected with the prospects of the Christian Church in Ireland, it is time to look a little closely at the probable operation of that measure and, without this warning, there is enough in the circumstances under which the Tithes Arrear's Bill is brought forward, and in the character of its authors and patrons, to alarm suspicion. It will be remem- bered that at the very commencement of the session, the noble Chancellor of the Exchequer proclaimed a licence to rob the Irish clergy. The Irish clergy were robbed accordingly, with a very vigorous hand. They appeal to the law-the ministers of the law are forbidden to aid them. They appeal to the legislature—the legislature tells them, We cannot aid you in the assertion of your undoubted legal rights-though we are willing to extend our com- passion to you in the character of mendicants, on the condition that you will hold yourselves debtors for what we give as alms." This is the character of the Arrears' Bill-an insulting temporary accom- modation, substituted for the protectiou which the state owes to its loyal subjects—worse, indeed, than all insulting accommodation—a consigning of the Plundered class, as a burthen upon those who have had no share in despoiling them—who derive no bene6t from the robbery-and who, therefore, look- ing upon the burthen with ill-humour, must naturally transfer some of their ill-will to the innocent cause of the inconvenience. It is a contrivance to make the Irish clergy onerous and unpopular with the peo- ple of England, as well as placing them in a degrading and precarious position. It we may trust the cor- respondent of the Dublin Freeman's Journal, who 's generally extremely well informed of the pro- ceedings of the cabinet, the temper with which Ministers regard the Irish clergy is quite in harmony with the design of ruining the Irish Church. We make the following extract from this gentleman's letter, as it appeared in the Freeman's Journal of August 19: — Theparsons have sealed their history, and they are too well known to be any longer trusted. The government know the party they have to deal with, and they are beginning to see the folly of attempting to conciliate such Men. Lord Grey is in a rage at their insolence. He thinks that instead of being dissatisfied they ought to be well pleased at getting the money; and in reference to the vexatious importunity to which he was subjected on thIS point, he observed to a friend with grelat warmth, If the church is not satisfied with what 'tis getting, the church may go to the devil-' I am aware that it is somewhat very questionable taste to record such bon mots, but they are at times indicative of temper and disposition, and there is an adage which says that it is much easier to ascertain the cuirent of the wind by throwing up a feather than a pound of gold. I. c If the Church,' says Lord Grey, in the passage quoted,'is not satisfied with what it is getting, the Church may go to the Devil.' We believe that Lord Grey said this. The tone and (cant apart) the very phraseology, are genuine Whig. However, it is worth the noble Premier's while to contradict the charge if he can. At all events it is the duty of that Premier's Royal Master to inquire whether the person to whom he has delegated so much of the royal function is one who is willing to send sum. marily to the Devil the Established Church, to the protection of which, in some degree at least, ex- ecutively if not legislatively, is Majesty is sworn.

THE TRICKS OF TIIE TiNirs.-In the" Liverpool Standard" of Tuesday last we were enabled to pub- lish exclusively some important news and official documents which we that day received from Jamaica and Demerara. These were copied into the London Guardian on the following Thursday, and honourably acknowledged. The Times, however, stole them wholesale, our comments included, and made a parade of the information, as if they had paid for it, or come by it honestly. -Liverpool Standard. The Lord Chancellor is extremely angry with the observations touching his lordship's uncalled-for attack upon his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumber- land, which appeared in our last number. His lord- ship has sent a solicitor to our office to know who wrote that article, and above all, who furnished the information it contained, preparatory to his lordship's instituting proceedings against us. Of course the gentleman took nothing by his motion, and we have to wait for the further movements of the "noble and learned lord." We are quite satisfied that they will be in strict accordance with the character and prin- ciples of an ultra-defender of the liberty of the press, a coadjutor of the most violent ministerial journals, and a ci-devant writer in the Edinburgh Review.— John Bull. THE LATE GALE —We have unfavourable ac- counts from the interior of the Fy'de respecting the crops this week. The farmers are complaining of the havoc made amongst the oats by the .violence of the wind, and, to use the Fylde phrase, a whole seeding has been shaken out. The damage has been entirely confined to the oats, as the wheat has been principally cut and housed. Preston I Pilot.

Y. In an agricultural county like ours, and in times like the present, every discovery in the Arts, which, tried by the test of experiment aud fact, is found to enlarge the quantity or improve the quality of our produce, however minute, deserves attention. Lately a new metal, Zinc, has been applied to a variety of useful purposes, and among others to Milk Plates, with the view of encreasing the quantity of cream, beyond what is obtained by ves-sels of the ordinary kind. To ascertain this fact, a few Zinc Plates were brought to Elgin, and the result of the first experi- ment is so satisfactory, as to justify this notice of it. Other experiments are in a state of progress, and will be communicated to the public in this manner.— Miss Russell, of Boggs, under the direction of her father, undertook the management of this first experiment, and has conducted it in the most accurate and satisfactory manner. During nine successive days, she strained and measured carefully, at noon, three Scottish pints of new milk into a Zinc plate, and three Scottish pints of the same milking in an earthen plate.- These were both skimmed at the same time (noon) in the succeding day,—the cream of each kept perfectly separate, and on the after- noon of the ninth day, both portions were sep- arately made into butter. Chop. Mutchs. Gills. The Cream from the Zinc plate measured 4 0 1 The Cream from the Earthen plate measured 3 1 1 Balance infavotir of Zinc Plate 0 3 0 In Cream, lbs. oz. The Butter from the Zinc plate weighed 3 5 The Butter from the Earthen plate, 2 14 In Butter 0 7 This is the true way of proving the va!ue of a new theory, by carrying the experiment the length of test. ing the fact of an increase in the produce of the marketable commodity. In a dairy, on any extent, the additional weight of butter here obtained, if it shall be confirmed by subsequent and more extended experiments, would certainly be an object deserving the attention of the farnier.-Eigin Courier.
VIGOROUS PURSUIT OF A FRAUDULENT…
VIGOROUS PURSUIT OF A FRAUDULENT DEBTOR. It seems probable that the disposition for absconding to America for the purpose of defrauding creditors will receive an effectual check from the active and energetic measures which the wholesale houses arc now organizing to punish this species of robbery. In April last a linen draper, of. the name of David Marfleet, who carried on business in Vvhitechapel road, absconded from his creditors, leaving debts to the amount of upwards of 40001. unsatisfied. lie had been purchasing goods of the great houses in the city for the last four or five months of his trading to treble the amount of his previous monthly purchases. As soon as he got home the goods he sent out persons to dispose ot them at considerably below cost price, and be. contrived to raise 2(X)OI. in cash, by making an enormous sacrifice of the property which he had got on credit, and for which he never intended to pay one farthing. His creditors,, however received no intimation of the course he was pursuing while he was raising the wind in this easy and effectual manner, and he made arrange- ments for his departure to a in w'1Ich he meant to enjoy otium cum diynitate. OU he went, leaving on the day of his flight a letter which reached his shopmen by post, instructing them to say that his f tther was taken dangerously ill (the prevalence of the cholera morbus favoured the pretence), and that be was obliged to go into the country to pay a visit in such a" extremity. The letter also contained instructions as to the course which the shopmen were to pursue until hi* return to town. The wife was the companion of the T';n' his flight. To prevent an early inquiry, by which this plan of leaving the country might be in some degree embarrassed, he managed to remit to one of his creditors by the two-penny post, through the medium of a confederate, a check for a small amount, coming due in a few days. So inge- niously had he provided for contingencies, m fact, that he was on the sea a fortnight before it was discovered that he had committed the fraud. His creditors as soon as they learned that he had plundered them, set to work in earnest, determined to get hold of him whatever might be the expense, and to make an example of him. A tiat of bankruptcy was accordingly issued and proceedings to outlawry were taken. The most active and well informed persons were employed, and by diligent enquiry the letters by which the bankrupt and his wife had engaged their passage were traced, and it was ascertained that they had sailed for America under a fictitions name. A gentleman was immediately dispatched on board the first packet to New York, from the office of Mr. Ashurst, of Newgate street, the solicitor to the creditors. He sailed from Liver- pool just 21 days after the fugitive had left that port, and traced him to Long Island, where he bad fitted up and furnished a cottage, and was liviug in a very neat and comfortable style. Mr. Ashurst's clerk found upon enquiry that Mr. Marfleet had invested all his money in the hands of respectable houses, bankers in New York, and had received securities bearing interest. An injunction in the American Courts was obtained for securing that money, by the agent of the creditors, on the same night, after a most fatiguing hunt, the bankrupt himself was arrested, and lodged in gaol. At first Mr. Marfleet denied his name, declared that he knew nothing about the creditors, a long list of whom was read to him, and talked ore rotundo. His wife, however, let out the secret, and began to reproach him, when he was taken to prison, for having brought her to a distant country, where her fate was to be left alone without a farthiug. Writs to an amount sufficient to recover all the cash he had raised by this villainous species of robbery having been lodged at the prison, after five weeks' public litigation, for he used every means in his power to keep possession of the money, he disgorged it all. He had been unable to procure bail, and was seized in prison with what is termed New York the prickly heat, a malady to which almost all Europeans are subject, and was covered with boils. He would have perished in misery had it not been for the humanity of the gentleman who represented the creditors; amongst whom are some of the first houses in the woollen and linen trade, The creditors are greatly indebted to Messrs. Goodhere and Co. of New York, and to Mr. Coot, solicitor, of that city, for their active and zealous co-operation, and to Messrs. Wiltshire and Massey, and Messrs. Leaf, Coles, and Co. who are assignees to the estate, and to whom the matter was confided. The cash and bills had been safely deposited in the bands of Messrs. Goodhere and Co. before the last advices left New York. Runaway debtors will henceforward have but little chance of escape, even in the most distant countries, so resolute is the intention of the respectable houses in the city to commence and persevere in a most vigorous pursuit upon every occasion of this sort.
A DISAGREEABLE PARTNER.
A DISAGREEABLE PARTNER. "40.- A middle-aged bald-heade(i man, with a most woful countenance, applied to the magistrate of the Thames Police Office, London, for a warrant against his wife, who, he said, had broken his head and his peace of mind, and was tormenting him out of his life. Please your Worship," said the applicant, "it's the misfortune of my life to have a disagreeable partner, who does anything but make me happy. she is constantly abusing and beating me, and says I shall not have a bit of peace in this world. Oh Lord, your worship," said the hapless benedict, heaving a long drawn sigh, you don't know how unhappy I am." Magistrate—Well, what has she done to you ? Applicant-Please your worship I am a man who has to be out a great deal ou busiuess, and when I comes home I generally finds her inebriated, your worship, with a novel and a gin bottle before her, and if I says "Julia, my dear, go to bed," she gets up and beats me with a stick, and says no husband shall rule over her. On Sunday morning, your worship, she threw a cup of tea in my face, because I said it wasn't sweet enough; and she said if I staid at home all day she would torment my life out; so I to please her I went out all day, and when I came home she beat me with my son's cricket bat, just four feet long, four inches wide, and two inches thick. Magistrate-But why do you bear all this so patiently ? Applicant—Oh dear, your worship» she would murder me if I offered to touch her. Do you know, sir, that one night she made me asleep-on the floor because I offended her, and broke my head with a broom handle five feet long and four inches round in thickness-look at the swelling. Here he displayed a large bump on his cranium. Magistrate—Very well, take your warrant. Applicant—She only allows me clean linen once a week. -she is the bane of my existence. Magistrate—Take your warrant. Applicant-l cannot live with her, it is impossible, sir. Magistrate—Take your warrant. The applicant was about to detail some more grievances, when the door opened, and a female applicant entered. Oh dear! exclaimed the injured husband, who retreated to the other end of the office, evidently milch alarmed. The Magistrate inquired what was the matter? 11 No. thing," exclaimed the man, recovering his breath, I thought it was my wife, who bad found out where I was come to. I wouldn't have her know of this for the world

COLD-BATH FIELDS AHAIR.-The Committee appointed to inquire into the circumstances of the Meeting in Cold-bath Fields, have at length made their report. The Committee say that the conduct of the bodies of police employed in the actual dispersion of the meeting, was not attended with greater violence than was occasioned by the resistance they met with from a portion of the crowd. They add, by implica- tion however, that after the dispersion of the meeting, some of the police employed in clearing the ground were too violent, but excuse them on account of the excitement of the moment, and because no dangerous wound or permanent injury has been shewn to have been intlictcd by them on any individual, while one of their own number was killed with a dagger, and two others stabbed while in discharge of their duty.
