[FOR THE CARDIFF ADVERTISER.] THE HERMIT-POET'S FAREWELL TO • PARNASSUS. BY JOSEPH DOWNES. Author of the Mountain Decameron."

A SMOKING ANECDOTE.-At Frankfort, lately, a curious circumstance occurred, illustrative of the character of the Burly English and the dull German. In a coffee-room an Englishman was standing too close with his back to the stove and a German kept close to him, puffing the unsavory fumes of his cigar into his face. The Englishman remonstrated, but the quiet German kept puffing away as if he had not heard the Englishman's voice. At last the Englishman showed a fighting disposition, and maintained that no man had a right to puff smoke out of his mouth into another mau's face, and that smoking ought to be confined to smoking places. The heavy German, with all the slowness and gravity of his nation, coldly replied in the worst of English, u Ya, ya, Sir John Bull, what right have you to complain to make of de smell of my smok, when your one coat have bin burn and make big smell for ten minutes, and I nothing say to youl" The Englishman, to his great discomfiture, found that his coat, or rather cloak, was shrivelled and burnt up to his waist by the German stove.

IMPORTANT TO THE LADIES.—A patent has recently been taken out for an improved kind of comb. The invention consists in the construction of a very small reservoir at the back of the comb, made to contain any oily or colouring matter that may be required to be applied to the roots of the hair in the act of combing. The reservoir is so constructed that the oil or other fluid contained in it may be regularly discharged, or supplied in small quantities to the teeth of the comb, and by that means communicated to the hair in the act of combing.—Hew:ton's Repertory of Patent Inven- "') P"nTf' /A KiW.:A. REBECCA'S NOTIONS OF THE EQUITABLE AND AGREEABLE, —The proceedings of this lady and her hopeful children have recently caused much commotion in that part of the country, which she appears disposed to take under her espe- cial protection. The attempt to levy on the goods of the parties who had been fined for refusing toll at Water-street Gate having failed, in consequence of the armed resistance of Rebecca and her daughters," it was deemed advisable by the Borough Magistrates to call out a number of Pensioners and Special Constables to assist the Police. Accordingly three policemen, some special constables, and about thirty-five pensioners, headed by Mr. David Evans, road-surveyor, started about three o'clock on their journey to Tallog, to levy on the goods of John Harries, of Tallog mill, the other defendant (Thomas Thomas) having paid his tine and costs on the preceding Saturday. Just before they reached Tallog, they discerned a man standing on a bank above the road, evidently watching them, and being disguised by wearing a woman's cap, as soon as they discovered him he disappeared behind the bank, and shortly afterwards they heard a shot fired. On approaching Tallog mill, they observed about forty persons standing in groups and watch- ing their movements. Mr. David Evans went up to the door of the house in which the levy was to be m'ade, and found it locked after some little delay the key was obtained and the levy effected, two boxes being taken. A man was observed crossing a bridge close by, with a gun on his shoulder, in company with two others. Mr. David Evans went up to him and asked him where he was going, and what he was doing with the gun on his replying that he 9 should go where he pleased, and do what he liked with the gun. Evans assisted by Policeman D. Woolcock, and E. Richards, a special constable, forcibly took possession of the gun, which was found not loaded. They then commenced their journey homewards, but had not proceeded far when they were stopped by a mob of between 200 and 300 persons, all armed; some with guns (105 of which were counted) others with hatchets, scythes, crowbars, pitchforks, &c., &c. About half of them were variously disguised some in women's clothes with their faces blackened, others having horse-hair wigs, while many wore masks. They appeared to be well organized, being divided into companies, and acting under different leaders, whom they obeyed most implicitly the majority of them were young men, although there were several men aged about sixty, some women appeared to be encouraging the men. Having commanded the constables and pensioners to stop, they desired them to give back the boxes, which was done upon Mr. Thomas Thomas, shop- keeper of Tallog, giving his word that the amount of the fine and costs should be paid in the course of the day. They then demanded that the constables should give up their arms if they had any, and said they should not proceed until they did. Upon this Mr. David Evans drew out a brace of pistols, and accompanied by policemen Martin, Woolcock, and Aubery, and special constable E. Richards, attempted to force his way through the mob. They did force their way for about two hundred yards, when they were surrounded and Richards was knocked down and kicked severely while on the ground his staff and pistol were taken away and flung into the river. Evans was seized by three athletic men, and a hatchet being held over his head by one man while two others presented muskets at his face, Rebecca," who on this occasion was a short thickset man, commanded him upon pain of instant death to deliver up his pistols. He gave up one, and was compelled to fire off the other in the air.- The mob then suffered the constables and pensioners to pro- ceed, accompanying them as far as Trawsmawr. When they arrived there "Rebecca" called for the warrant of-distress, which being produced by one of the constables, was ordered to be read. One of the pensioners read it in English, but was requested to translate it into Welsh he did so, and was then asked what were the names of the magistrates who had signed it, he replied W. Morris, and E. H. Stacey." They then asked if the name of Mr. Davies, of Trawsmawr, appeared, and on being informed that he had backed the warrant, said that is all we want to know." After having compelled each of the policemen to take a stone or two from the wall of Trawsmawr plantation, which had been nearly destroyed by the mob a night or two previously, they told the constables that they proposed pulling down the Carmar- then Union House, and that they should again level Water- street gate, they then suffered them to return to Carmarthen, which place they arrived at about 8 o'clock. A representa- tion of the facts of this affair having been made to the magistrates, they held a meeting at the Town-hall at twelve o'clock, when the depositions of the constables were taken, and afterwards forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Home Department for his perusal. The magistrates after- wards held a private conference, and in the evening about forty tradesmen of the town were sworn in as special consta- bles, and paraded Water-street and Goose-street during the night, and also during the night of Tuesday and Wednesday. A few nights since a riotous armed mob assembled near Trawsmawr after having destroyed the walls of the approaches to that mansion, they cut down about half an acre of young trees which formed a beautiful plantation belonging to Captain Davies. Not the slightest clue has been obtained to the perpetrators of the outrage. Captain Davies had at tho tima a jMdt ninny artifli-pra, lahnnron. and nthp™ in his employ, making various improvements on his property, who, in consequence of this affair, have been all dismissed. It is supposed the outrage was committed in revenge upon Capt. Davies, who in his magisterial capacity had endorsed the warrant of the Borough Authorities against Mr. John Har- ries, of Talog, and Mr. Thomas Thomas of the same place. FLOODS IN THE VALE OF T ivy. --According to recent accounts from Cardiganshire, the river Tivy has become so swollen, that it has inundated the whole of the beautiful vale through which it flows, and occasioned the destruction of agricultural property to an immense extent-many hundred acres of meadow and rye-grass, just ready for the scythe, and most promising crops of wheat, oats, and barley, have been either completely spoilt, or received irreparable injury. We are informed that similar inundations are becoming month by month more frequent, and that their origin is entirely at- tributed to the working of slate quarries on the banks of the river by the inhabitants of the town of Kilgerran, who, to save themselves the labour of removal, deposit the rubbish in the bed of the river. The consequence is, that the bed, being considerably narrowed and raised, the water cannot make its escape, and when swollen by a fall of rain even one day's duration, it inundates the surrounding country in a most fearful manner. The most singular circumstance connected with this calamity is, that although the manner in which the slate quarry men conduct their workings is known to be completely unjustifiable and illegal, yet such is the supineness of the country gentlemen residing on the banks and in the neighbourhood of the Tivy, that no effort what- ever is made by them to abate so intolerable a nuisance, to punish the offending parties, and to remedy the mischief already done, although it is quite clear that if the quarries are permitted to be worked much longer, and the rubbish deposited in the river, the adjacent country will be converted into a lake. This supineness will appear the more extraor- dinary on the part of the Cardiganshire and Pembrokeshire gentlemen, when it is recollected that many of them are actual sufferers to the extent of several hundred pounds per annum, which would be permanently avoided by the equiva- lent of one year's loss expended in widening the channel of the river where it has been narrowed by the illegal acts of the quarrymen of Kilgerran. ONE OF THE EFFECTS OF PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.—A few days ago, three boys at the north end of the town, in the course of their play in the brickfields, determined that they would represent a public execution. One of them agreed to act as culprit, the second as hangman, and the third as clergyman. A pile of bricks was raised as a temporary scaffold, a rope was obtained, and suspended from the pole. The youth took his place on the bricks, with the rope round his neck, and after the representative of the clergyman had mumbled over some sentences, the bricks were knocked from under the boy's feet, and he was left suspended. His companions attempted to release him, but were unable to do so and had it not been for the prompt attendance of a man who was in the neighbourhood, who cut the lad down, there can be no doubt but he would have lost his life. At the time he was released from his perilous situation his tongue was protruding, and his face quite discoloured. Liverpool Mercury. MANURE tlEArs.The difference of value, whether a manure heap be left in the ordinary way, or whether it be covered over with road-scrapings, sand, coal-ashes, or even with soil at hand, is estimated at upwards of 50 per cent. in favour of the latter system. The object to be attained is, to preclude the gaseous properties of the manure from escaping. Among the novel importations that the new tariff is almost daily bringing to our ports is one announced of a cargo of ice from the United States. It arrived from Boston in the Shannon. The ice thus entered is principally in large blocks. ROME. The Jews in this city have a certain quarter assigned to them, which is locked up every night at a partic- ular hour. Many among them are said to believe that the c Messiah is destined to arrive at Rome on a Saturday, and to enter by the Porta del Popolo, the ancient Via Cassia. A singular anecdote is related of a high dignitary of the church in illustration. A few years ago, a wealthy Jew, who had been converted to the Christian faith, played his cards so well as to be elevated to the rank of cardinal. Some of his colleagues, however, doubted the sincerity of his conversion, and a wager was laid by one engaging to prove that, with all hie seeming reverence for his new faith, the proselyte still cherished the old belief respecting the Messiah. In pursuance of his design, the cardinal invited them all, including the ex- Jew, to a grand banquet, on a Saturday, at his villa, situated about a mile from the city on the Via Cassia. Shortly after dusk, a loud rattling of carriages and cracking of whips was heard, accompanied by shouts and hurrahs from the postil- lions, who had, of course, been previously instructed in their respective parts. The poor convert, on whom all eyes were fixed, was observed to turn very pale, and mutter something inaudibly, when a servant rushing in exclaimed that the Messiah was on the point of entering Rome by the Porta del Popolo. This was too much for the Jew, for Jew he still was in heart; throwing down his cap, and rending his clothes, he cried, Oh, had I known of this day, never, never, would I have become a Christian! This was proof sufficient for his colleagues, by whom the whole story was reported to the Pope. As may be supposed, the unfortunate victim was speedily degraded from his holy office, but whether lie once more relapsed to his ancient faith, or still adhered to the Christian doctrine, tradition does not mention, PLEA OF INSANITY. On Friday the House of Lords made a further order re- garding the attendance of the Judges to expound before their Lordships the state of the law respecting criminal lunatics, and the plea of insanity it was, that they should attend for such purposes on Monday, the 19th inst., at 10 o'clock, to answer questions to be then propounded to them. The fol- lowing are the questions to be submitted; they were on Saturday forwarded to the several judges, with order for attendance:— 1. What is the law respecting alleged crimes committed by persons afflicted with insane delusion in respect of one or more particular subjects or persons as, for instance, where at the time of the commission of the alleged crime the ac- cused knew he was acting contrary to law, but did the act complained of with a view, under the influence of insane delusion, of redressing or revenging some supposed grievance or injury, or of producing some supposed public benefit! "2. What are the proper questions to be submitted to the jury, when a person alleged to be afflicted with insane delu- sion respecting one or more particular subjects or persons is charged with the commission of a crime, murder for ex- ample, and insanity is set up as a defence! "3. In what terms ought the question to be left to the jury, as to the prisoner's state of mind at the time when the act was committed 1 "4. If a person under an insane delusion as to existing facts commits an offence inconsequence thereof, is he thereby excused If "5. Can a medical man, conversant with the disease of insanity, who never saw the prisoner previously to the trial, but who was present during the whole trial, and the exami- nation of all the witnesses, be asked his opinion as to the state of the prisoner's mind at the time of the commission of the alleged crime, or his opinion whether the prisoner was conscious, at the time of doing the act, that he was doing contrary to law! or whether he was labouring under any and what delusion at the time 1 THE WELSH CHURCH. We believe there are few measures in condemnation of whose principle so much unanimity may be found as upon that which proposed to violate the constitution of the Welsh Church by lessening the number, of her Bishops. There- cent debate in the House of Lords upon Earl Powis's motion for rescinding the measure strongly confirms our opinion. Most men feel that the task of retractation is one of the heaviest that can be laid upon them and it would be un- reasonable to expect a more distinct confession of error than was made on that night by several of the spiritual and noble Lords who were among the'first promoters of the plan to which we are alluding. It is quite clear that they share in the general feeling of disapprobation with which the nu- merous petitions against it show that it is regarded. We have reason to believe that the first petition suggested on the subject, emanated from BRISTOL; and, as far as we have observed, the ground which it takes has been taken in no other. We will place it before our readers in the hope that the powerful and timely argument it offers against the proposed indignity, and which has been so strangely over. looked elsewhere, may arrest attention and help to bring about that result which we confidently expect: "To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. Madam!—All England has rejoiced at the birth of a Prince of Wales. In the anticipation of such a happy event I dared in the year 1839 to lift up my voice against the dese- cration with which the Principality was threatened by your Majesty's Ecclesiastical Commissioners.* It has pleased the Almighty that that desecration should remain unaccomplished until its accomplisliment would be insulting as well as im- pious. Be it known to your Majesty that for century after century, the Principality of Wales has possessed, and that it still possesses FOUR Bishops. Notwithstanding the vast in- crease of the population the Commissioners have proposed reducing them to THREE! The proposition was first made at a moment of panic. The panic has passed away, and with it all need of hearkening to the timid counsels it sug- gested. All the Bishops of the land have since become Members of the Commission; the measure in question never had their Lordships' sanction, and it cannot be doubted that with your Majesty's concurrence they would gladly promote the repeal of that part of the Act which entitles it to be called An Act for lowering the dignity of the Heir to the Crown.' The Parliament and the country would Now hail with delight a proposal for retaining in the Principality her lawful number of Prelates. I venture to add that the Na tion's gratitude to the Almighty for having blest it with a Prince of Wales would be appropriately signified by your Majesty's restoring one of the four Welsh Sees to its ancient dignity of an ARCHBISHOPRICK. I am, May it please your Majesty, "With exceeding veneration, "Your Majesty's loyal Subject and Servant," (( >> In the spirit of this petition let us be allowed to express our ardent wish that the righteous preservation of the Welsh Bishopricks may not be coupled with any shabby stipulation that shall deprive it of all lustre. This is a Royal business, and should be Royally done. It must be miserable affectation, or something worse, that can hint a fear of mischief flowing from the introduction of another Spiritual Peer to the Upper House of Parliament. The youngest man among us has seen scores of Temporal Peers added to it—the oldest has never witnessed the addition of one to the Lords .Spiritual. Such an augmen- tation now (slight as it is) would make graceful atonement for an ill-advised proposition, and the Bishoprick of Manchester, which it is agreed upon all hands is im- peratively required, might be erected forthwith instead of being made contingent upon the sacrilegious suppression of a See in the Principality. •We think the following are the words alluded to—"By the providence of God we may some day see a Prince of Wales in the land. Let him not come to a dissanctified heritage Felix Farley's Bristol Journal. A WEATHER PROPHECY.—During the present year the oaks have been in fine foliage more than a month whereas the ash is almost bare, which experience proves to forbode a fine dry summer; but had they both undergone the same period, the chances are, that the ensuing season would have been neither particularly wet nor dry, but cold and unpro- ductive throughout. A few selected cases will tend to strengthen, if not to confirm the observation. In the years 1816, 1817, 1821, 1823, 1828, 1829, 1830, 1838, and 1840, the ash was in full foliage more than a month before the oak, and many of our readers will recollect the cold and unproductive seasons which succeeded. Again, in 1831, 1832, 1839, and 1841, both these species of vegetation began their race at about the same period, and the summers which followed were neither one way nor the other. Whereas in 1819, 1819, 1820, 1822, 1824, 182G, 1827, 1833, 1834, 1835, 1836, 1837, and 1842, the oak displayed its umbrageous foliage weeks before its companion of the forest, and these years were particularly distinguished for fine, dry, and warm weather, and subsequently by the most abundant harvests recorded in the annals of our country.— Nott's Revieio. PRINCE ALBERT.—We are informed that his Royal Highness Prince Albert has fixed Wednesday, the 19th of July, for his visit to our city, to be present at the launch of the Great Britain, the stupendous sister ship to the Great Western. We have little doubt he will be accompanied by a splendid retinue neither do we doubt that the directors will seize the opportunity to bring to Bristol the members of the Cabinet, Lords of the Admiralty, foreign Ambassadors, and the principal persons of the Royal Household.

PARLIAMENTARY REGISTRATION -PAYMIEI,'T OF RATES, &c.- It may be interesting to such of our readers who value the privilege of a vote in the choice of parliamentary repre- sentatives, to know that by the act just passed for amending the registration, no person will be entitled to have his name inserted in any list of voters now about to be made, in respect of the occupation of premises of the clear yearly value of ten pounds, unless'he shall pay, on or before the 20th day of July, all the poor's' rjites and assessed taxes which have become due from him ia* respect of such pre- mises during the calendar months next before the 6th day of April last past; and all persons who omit to make such payments will be incapable of being upon the next register of voters. SUICIDE.-John Stew, a young man living at Carr, in the parish of Tythegston, was found hanging on Saturday last, in a barn belonging to Carr farm. The unfortunate young man was at times insane, and it is supposed that he com- mitted this rash act in one of those fits of insanity. COUHTY COURTS BIL-L.—A writer in the Times on this subject says This measure, which the Lord Chancellor ex- pected would have passed the House of Commons last session, with a jurisdiction extending to JE20, instead of Elo, as now proposed, seems destined to disappoint the hopes of thousands who are anxiously waiting for its accomplishment. Nume- rous would have been the applications to Parliament for local acts had not the country been led to expect that the Lord Chancellor's bill would have been adopted at an early period of the present session. The existing county courts are very inefficient for the wants of the State; and are so dilatory and expensive that they have become worse than useless. In- stances without number could be mentioned in which honest and industrious tradesmen and country shopkeepers are de- terred from seeking redress against dishonest and fraudulent debtors on account of the frightful expense of enforcing the payment of their just demands; and many are the poor and honest debtors who are Imposed upon and cheated by the rapacious and unprincipled suitor, rather than resist his un- lawful demand at the risk of being totally ruined by the enor- mous expense of defending an action in the county court as at present constituted; nor are the local courts much less objectionable, not because of the expense, but of the notorious partiality which prevails in them in consequence of the law being, administered by the shopkeepers who generally act as commissioners, and who but too frequently do each other what is called "a good turn." But to revert to the county courts. I learn from unquestionable authority that in one of these courts (which may be considered a fair sample of the rest) the taxed costs are on an average between five and six times more than the amount of the debts recovered; and that in many cases they exceed by more than 30 or 40 times the er sums recovered, after the disquietude of a long protracted suit, which sometimes hangs over the parties for two or three years! I would ask any reasonable man if this is a atate of things which, in this commercial country, should be allowed to ¡ eoutiaae for one moment longer than can bo avoided 1 SHAW-HOUSE, MELKSHAM, WILTS.-The following young gentlemen received prizes on the 13th of June, 1843.-For Diligence and Good Conduct. — W.

NEW ACT FOR THE REGISTRATION OF PARLIAMENTARY VOTERS.—The Act for the above object, which was brought in by the present Government and came into operation on the 1st inst., effects many desirable improvements in the registration system. Clerks of the Peace and Town Clerks are to issue instructions to the overseers as to the preparation of the. lists, and the latter, where they have reasonable grounds for doing so, are to write "dead" or "objected" before the names of the parties. The lists are to be placed on the doors of dissenting chapels as well as those of the places of worship connected with the Established Church, and any person de- facing or removing them, is liable to a penalty not exceeding forty shillings, nor less than ten. Imperfect publications is not to invalidate the lists, but overseers may be proceeded against for neglect of duty. Where no new lists are made out, the old ones are to continue in force. Voters whose names are expunged, may appeal to the Court of Common Pleas, if they feel themselves aggreived. The Revising Barrister has the power of awarding costs not exceeding twenty shillings in cases of frivolous claims or objections. Register to be in force from the last day of November to the first day of December in each year, The absurd penalty of five hundred pounds upon overseers, &c. for neglecting to attend the revision courts, which penalty from its amount has hitherto defeated the object intended, is not continued in the Act, but power is given to the barrister to fine assessors, or other officers or overseers, from- twenty shillings to five pounds, for so neglecting their duty. (As there has been much remissness in this respect, and -there will probably be now no reluctance to inflict the fine in wilful cases, it may be as well for the parties concerned to take particular notice of this clause.) Overseers may also be fined twenty shillings to five pounds for the wilful omission of an elector's name from the list. The Registratim-shilling-(tliat source of objection)—is abolished, and the expenses are to be paid out of the poor-rates.—The fifty-pound franchise for counties may arise from successive occupations. Distances for boroughs are to be measured in a straight line, or as the crow flies." No question is to be put to the voter at the polling-booth, except' as to his identity, and whether he has voted before at that election. The register is to be regarded as conclusive evidence of his retaining the same qualification, but in boroughs it is necessary that he should have continued to reside up to the time of polling. Any one guilty of per- sonating an elector is liable to two years' imprisonment.— Barristers are to be appointed as at present, but their remu- neration is fixed, at a maximum of 200 guineas each for revising the lists. Where it is necessary to appoint additional barristers, they are to be paid five guineas a-day, and three guineas travelling expenses. There are various other enact- ments, but the above are the leading features of the measure, and it will at once be seen that they remove all the objections that have from time to time been urged against the system. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, BRISTOL DISTRICT- THURSDAY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Stevenson.) Re John Dickinson, Newport. Audit meeting. Small balance found to be due to the official Assignee. Re David Thomas, Newport. Choice of Assignees. William Hellier Bailey, Wholesale Grocer, was chosen. FRIDAY. (Before Commissioner Mr. Serjeant Stephen.) David Storm, Cardiff; Jonathan and R. L. Nash; and Jonathan Nash, passed their audits. Evan Leyshon. Choice of Assignees. Neil Mackenzie, of Newgate-street, London, Fringe Manufacturer, was chosen. MESSRS. HARFORD, DAVIES, and Co.—Mr. Cooke applied to his Honor in the affairs of this firm. He said that Messrs. Harford and Co. were large ironmasters in Monmouthshire, employing nearly 3000 people, and that a population of 5000 were dependent on their works. It was impossible to fell what the consequences might be if these works were stopped. All parties living in the neighbourhood would be disappointed in their resources for subsistence, and the depreciation of other property of the same kind, by bringing these to sale, would be most serious. If they were continued a considerable profit would be realized—a profit of about £ 20,000 to the estate; and he wished to have his Houor's sanction to that course. His Honor said, that the only person who in the present stage of the case could sanctiou such a measure was the official assignee, in whom the property was vested. But he conceived the official assignee must be idemnified against consequences, if he gave his consent. The question, in taking a step such as this, was on whom the risk should fall. It was represented that there would be very little risk but still that risk ought to fall on the party interested he thought the most advisable course would be to have a meeting of the creditors. Mr. Cooke.-That is what we propose to do at an early day. His Honor.—I think we cannot take the responsibility; you should ask the petitioning Creditor about it. Mr. Cooke considered that it was a very clear case. His Honor.—It is for the Creditors at large to determine, and should be subject to the petitioning Creditor. Mr. Cooke was obliged to His Honor for his advice, and '01, begged further to submit that there was a question as to some dues owing to the Monmouthshire Canal Company. That Company was authorised by their Act of Parliament to seize boats and barges on their Canal for dues owing to them. They had seized certain boats and barges, in value EI,900, for duties owing to them but the duties owing on those vessel were only 1:10 or £ 12. He had proposed to pay them that money that the vessels m ight be released, and had served them with a notice which with the opinion of Counsel on the whole, he would hand to His Honor. His Honor, having inspected the documents, said. it seems to be quite right. As soon as this notice is served, it should he followed up by an immediate demand. It is not quite clear to me that you have a right of action for seizing more than is actually due, but you may for excessive distress. The official assignee is the person by whom the demand should be made." ..ø.##'Ø'Ø.# THE WISCONSIN TERRITORY. Mr. George Robins announces early in the ensuing month to tempt the ISnglish capitalist with very large possessions in the United States, where, independently of the surface value of the lands, it should seem they all abound with minerals. The Wisconsin territory is one, of the most fertile of the highly favoured States of North America; it is advantage- ously situate on the east bank of the mighty Mississippii in Grant county, with a lordly domain of 20,000 acres of land, embosomed in a bold country, presenting rich undulatibg prairies, intersected at intervals by finely-timbered uplands and numerous streams and rivulets, all well stocked with fish, and affording great facilites for the erection of working of mills, and for conveying every description of procuce to the main river. The greater portion of the property being underlaid by strata of lead, and in some instances of copper, which, in many places, is found so near the surface, in such immense quantities, that the settlers raise it by the simplest and most primitive process. Some idea may be conceived of the value of this mineral production by stating that the per- centage or lordship accruing to the present proprietor during the space of six months, for one mine or digging, amounted to £ 14,787 lbs. of lead; and the last advices, speak of 22,584 lbs. more ready for shipment. Mr. Robins would observe that it must amply repay the exertions of any one who has the time to bestow upon it necessary for the develop- ment of its best capabilities. The proprietor made a personal survey of the neighbourhood, and fully satisfied himself of its fertility, salubrity, and local advantages, and also employed an eminent land surveyor to select the most fruitful and favourable sections in the country. This gentleman's original report, with descriptive field notes, together with a sketch map of the estate, are open to the inspection of any party desirous of purchasing. The last important fact worthy of notice is, that every acre has been bought direct from the United States Government, so that there can be no question of defective title, or opposing claim. The original Govern- ment certificates or title-deeds are in the hands of Messrs. Maitland Comrie, and Co., in New York, the corresponding firm with the house of Sir J. R. Reid, Irving, and Co., who can be referred to on this head for satisfactory information. A few additional facts for the better information of intend- ing purchasers.-The District of Ioway, in the Wisconsin Territory, wherein this property is situated, lies on the East Bank ol the Mississppi, immediately to the North of the State of Illinois, in lat. 42 deg. North, long. 92 deg. West from Greenwich. The villages scattered aronnd the property are increasing so rapidly that they will, ere long, become towns of some magnitude; among these may be mentioned Galena, Cassville, Mineral, Point, Elk Grove, and several others. Moreover, Mr. Robins would beg again to remind the reader that the selections were all made with the greatest care, and with a view to the four following self-evident and important advantages :Flrsf, fine soil for wheat for agricultnre; second, mineral prospect; third, water-power for mills, &c.; fourth, valuable timber. Again, the writer feels assured it cannot be too distinctly stated, that the very immediate neigh- bourhood is not, as it would by the accompanying plan appear to be to the uninformed reader, a wilderness, but, on the con- trary, a well-peopled and civilized district, dotted with farms and rising villages, and intersected by roads; a canal and a railroad *re also contemplated, by which the waters of the railroad tIe also contemplated, by which the waters of the Upper Mississippi are to be connected with Lake Michigan, one, if not both, of these must pass in the immediate vicinity of the property. P.S. There are three routes which may be taken at the option of parties going out to Wiscousin 1. Via Canada or New York, through the great northern lakes to Michigan, by steam. 2. Via Baltimore to Pittsburgh by railroad, and down the Ohio to the Mississippi. 3. To New Orleans by sea, and from thence by steam up the Mississippi to Cassville, which would land the party at once within a few miles of the tract in question. The latter route is by far the most prefer- able with regard to economy, and would also subject the em- igrant to much less trouble and expense in the conveyance of baggage, kct ff SMALL DEBTS.—A Bill is now before Parliament for the recovery of small debts, the preamble of which states, that it is desirable to facilitate the recovery of small debts and demands not exceeding 1:3. and to lessen the expense thereof." It is proposed that magistrates may grant sum- monses for any defendant to appear, residing in his jurisdic- tion, as also to compel the attendance of witnesses. Justices are to order the payment of debts by instalments or other- wise, with costs not exceeding 40s. If a claim should not be well founded, or the plaintiff does not appear, the justice is to order the costs to the defendant and where the defendant does not appear the case may be heard ex parte. In default of payment a warrant of distress to issue. The proceedings before the justices to be final. CURE FOR THE PLAGUE. The medical commission sent to Egypt by the Russian Government has transmitted some highly important intelligence to the authorities of New Russia. It appears that the experiments which have been made with the view of" purifying objects infecred with the plague by means of caloric; have proved perfectly successful. The commission hope, by further experiments, to prove the efficacy of caloric as a specific means of annihilating the miasma.
: HOUSE OF COMMONS.
HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY. Sir J. Graham said, I think it will be convenient, if in consequence of what passed yesterday in my absence, when the hon. member for Manchester put a question to my ritrht lion, friend at the head of-the government, I think it would be convenient to the house and the country if I now make an announcement, on part of her Majesty's government, with reference to that subject." After reminding the house that when the measure was introduced he had said that it was brought forward in no sectarian spirit, and stating that the government had been disappointed in their expectation^ that the objections of Dissenters would have been removed by the modifications which he had made, Sir James said unless there could be obtained general concord and co- operation, even supposing we could have carried the mea- sure, it would have increased religious discord, embittered many of the evils which we are most anxious to overcome, and aggravated instead of diminished the public danger arising from the present state of things. (Hear.) Now having given the subject the best consideration, on the part of her Majesty's government I have to announce to the house and to the country that we have come to the con- clusion that it would be most consistent with our public duty not to press the educational clauses in the present session."—(Cheets.) Sir J. Graham said, in answer to a question that had been put to him. the attention of the government had been directed to the measure, and they wen' nor prepared to bring forward any other measure. On i lie would announce to the House the course the nt intended to pursue. FRIDAY. On the motion that the Bill making provision for the Princess Augusta of Cambridge should be read a second time, Lord. Howick suggested that a provision for. the family of the Duke of Sussex would be a* proper subject for the consideration of ministers. Mr. Hume judged it fitting to take the sense of the House on the second reading of the bill then before them upon which a divion took place, sustaining the measure by a very large majority. The adjourned debate on the Irish Arms Bill was then resumed. Mr. S. Crawford began. He lamented, as one of the great evils of Ireland, the extensive dispossession of tenants for the purpose of consolidating tenancies. He adverted particularly to a complaint which had appeared in the Irish newspapers from some ejected tenants of Lord Lorton, ad- mitting, however, that he was not informed whether it had any foundation. He was sure there could be no peace in Ireland until something should be done to improve the law of landlord and tenant, and prevent the extermination of small holders. Mr. Lefroy vindicated Lord Lorton. The misfortune of the land in Ireland was the extensive sub-division of it and the persons who had complained of Lord Lorton as their landlord were not his tenants, but the tenants of his lessees. Mr. Baring Wall expressed his satisfaction at the tone and temper of the debate, which lie recommended to the imitation of the agitators in Ireland. Mr. V. Stuart thought it not extraordinary that a people so long misgoverned as the Irish should suppose themselves aggrieved even by laws really intended for their benefit. But as lie was convinced that the present bill was not a measure of coercion, but of useful police, he should vote for the progress of it; and if it should come out of the com- mittee in an objectionable shape, there would be an oppor- tunity to oppose it on the third reading. Mr. Redington asked whether if a case of decreasing crime, such as was now proved with respect to Ireland, had been proved with respect to England, a bill of this kind would have been suffered to proceed for this part of the United Kingdom! Mr. Pigott had substantiated that in 1841 crime had decreased, were Ministers prepared to show that since that date, and under their own administration, it had increased again 1 Sir R. Peel possessed, no doubt, the confidence of a majority in England, but not so in Ireland and until the majority of the Irish people should give a minister their confidence, lie would be able to do no good among them. The argument advanced for this bill had been that as it was only a continuance of an old law, those who resisted it were bound to make out a case for that resis- tance but the true argument was the other way the law was a suspension of the constitution, and the onus lay on those who supported that suspension. He would ask the English members whether, if an English law had been long on the statute book unenforced, and were about to expire, they would not expect from a minister proposing to' renew it some reasons to warrant his renewa11 Mr. Escott, referring to Mr. Pigott's speech on the pre- ceding night, admitted that this was an unconstitutional measure, justifiable only by the state of the country but contended that the necessity, arising out of that state was not rebutted by Mr. Pigott's proofs of a decrease of crime between 1837 and 1841. Mr. Pigoft should have proved that there had been a decrease between 1841 and 1843. And what was the cause of the present state of Ireland One cause and one individual. Why was that individual so much more actively mischievous now than he had been under the late ministers 1 Because the present Government did not think it their duty to bestow upon him the patronage of Ireland. b A discussion of some length took place when the debate was adjourned to Monday.
