PluNcz I.Eorm.o.—The recent departure of an illustrious annuitant, has OH occasion for an infinite deal of gossip among the few loungers who yet frera the saloons the West. The plea of bad health being abandoned as untenable, three other canes are aasiened for the Princely emigration,—the first, that it is his blighnes"s intention to renew his homage in an Imperial quaiter, where, if report speaks true, it has already been rejected, but the field is supposed to be MAW 1110o open by the demise of a redonbted Cliamberflin, the late unirmlAi inter etrens of an Italian estahlishinent ; the second, that it is preliminary to tic avowal of a 108-handed marriage with a fascinating German vocalist; the turd, that it proceeds from motive., of economy, as the original res angusla rims is Isuppas.ed to warrant a reduction of expenditure diming a Continental sojourn, which would not be looked upon with a favourable eye in this country.—_i;otsiay Cbroniele.

Tim Co loom If.,;TABLISIIMENT.—There has been no period of our history ; which the intended measures of the Cabinet have been more studiously kept. secret than at the present moment; and, consequently at no time were the

'

rumours of projected innovations to be received with greater caution. Anh.ing ! these rumours, no one has been more positively insisted on, nor repeated in more II ;various quarters, than that which states a determination to modify, in some way not precisely explained, the resent Ecclesiastical Establishment in the mu* ; session of Parliament.e do not [-miliFiretb know onnwriat-frrantiatiniEES gement!), received assertion rests ; but of one fact we are perfectly certain, that at this moment oFcia/ inquiries are going on in Ireland, to ascertain exactly the annual amount of income, utore particularly of the higher orders of the Clara preferments. We have heard that this very salutary inquiry is likely to excite considerable I li ,,Itislaction. and that various subterfuges will be resorted to fir the purpose of rendering it incomplete and inaccurate.-31orning- Gimmick. A hoard of military officers has been ordered to assemble. at Chatham, for the purpose of investigating a series of supposed frauds upon Government, by which many common soldiers have obtained pensions upon the Dead Weight, feralleged length of services which have not been performed.—Stourturd. An accident happened this week in the Downs, which had nearly proved fatal to the Lord Chancellor. His Lordship had been visiting the Ramillies, when, returning to shore in the ship's barge, the little vessel was, by some mismanage- ment nearly upset, and in the shock Lord Lyndhurst fell completely overboard, but was saved he one of the men catching him by the skirts of his coat. His Lordship sustained no further injury than a ducking; but if we are to believe a morning paper which relates the story, his Lordship's place was in almost as much jeopardy from the accident an his person. The paper we are alluding to states that the accident was reported to the Chancellor-expectant as having ended fa- tally, and that he hired post-horses incontinently, and lost not a moment in hurry- ing to the Minister, with the patriotic view of preventing any unnecessary and prejudicial delay in the tilling up of the office !—Cuurt Journal. Sir William Grant. whose health has been for some time declining, has just had an attack of paralysis, at his residence at Wanstead; but immediate danger is not apprehended.

Mr. Justice Burrough continues very unwell at Bridgewater.

The householders of the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, met on Thursday evening in open vestry, for the purpose of electing Auditors, and to settle what sums should be allowed as expenses to the Committee, Churchwardens, and Overseen, for their attendance at the workhouse, their visits to the pauper lunatics and chil- dren placed at Norwood. it was agreed that the reduced rate of 251. per amain should be allowed to the Committee for the present year, by way of experiment.

The Lord Mayor issued a placard on Saturday last to prevent stage-coaches driving through the City during divine service. Officers were stationed on Sun- day at the principal outlets to take offenders into custody. Fataunas.--An extensive failure of a City house in the woollen trade was an- nounced on Saturday, and thirteen or fourteen less important have been an- nounced since, chiefly arising out of the first. The amount has been variously stated at one, two, and three hundred thousand pounds,—nay, much higher. The Mims describes the failure as one which had been long looked, for in cause' fkience of the evil arrangements of the firm,

MANQuEsTER AND BARNSLEY.—A good deal of rioting has taken place in these towns during the last ten days.' The chief object of the weavers attack is the power-looms, to which, though very mistakenly, they attribute their own want of employment. At Manchester, one young ratan was so severely beaten that his life is despaired of. Several of the rioters have been arrested. They were " turn- out" weavers ; which, it ought to be recollected, does not indicate extreme dis- tress, At Barnsley, the residence of one mill-owner was gutted on Thursday sennight, and the furniture burnt by the mob. 1 it is mentioned, that all varieties of figuredmuslins are now being produced, lrl wrought by a machine instead of the female hand. Needles with two points are I prepared, the eye in the centre acting as the finger, twenty of which directed by

one person only, work the pattern simultaneously the whole width of the muslin. 'Tile distress of the working classes is not of course the less to be deplored on account of the ingenuity of the machinery here described.—Tiales.

sTATE or Till; l'omcE.—A case of dog-stealing was discussed at Marlborough- ereet na Tuesday. 'f he thief resided at Shoreditch, and was entrapped, in con- rience or an offer to restore the dog for a reward. The only peculiarity of time cot tvis, that the officers, in carrying hiniewith the recovered dog, to the police- „Le, had actually to fight their way through a gang of ruffians, anti had the sit-

A JEw Ronne!) BY .hvs.—Last night, two Jews. Philip Levy and Soloman fig-Ikea, were brought before Mr. Halls, the sitting Altmeistrate at Bow-street, by k. Cooke, the !lig!' Constable of Isleworth, charged hr Lassar, another Jew, with stealingjeweller,•, watches, and hank-notes, his property, value upwards -OW. The narrative. tinged with pathos, which por Mathias gave of his 'ills- h,r,Ime, reminds us of Say/oek;.and his successful adventures for the recovery of ills property are worth relating. Mathias Lassar, the prosecutor, stated that he had resided for Sl`Vcral years at 1Vor• crier, and wit; well known in that city as a hawker of watches. je•xell.,ry, Sc. By his ind ',try he had accumulated property, value wIrch he kept in a trunk at the !take or York public.hott:e at Worcester, where Ile lok.e(1.

Wittier, wag induced to go upstairs, to his bed-room, to see if hi.d property was safe ; anih.lound the trunk lyi mg Units side, in a different position to that in which he left it. Ile wlialw,tdeprived of his senses by the shock, and on discovering that the contents of the Munk had been carried off, tic fell down almost dead. He knew if they had taken all his property they inh,71it as well have taken his life; and he cried out very much, and the w!cde neighbourhood was alarmed. I-1c ran out into the street, :mud toll every burly that he had been plundered of till he had in the world, by two shabby looking rascals: but he could nut learn which wan had gone. Ile sent letters to Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, (I bird, (limn:ester, and other places, describing the thieves, and the property they had stolen. Ile went to bed on 'Wednesday night, but did not sleep; and he got up early, and on searching, tile trunk found the 201. in a se- rat drawer. Ile inquired of every person who came into town if they had seem twos:tabby-looking Jews with two large black bags fall of property ? He could get to tidini of them for a long while, till he inquired at it waggon-mike ; and there lit learned that two men, answering the description of the robbers, had been seen on Wed. aeslay night at Evesham, which is about twelve tulles from Worcester, who were enclea- miring to hire a horse and chaise to carry them to London. By the advice of friends, he took a place in the Worcester coach to London, and on arriving at Woodstock, he :earned that the persons he was in pursuit of, had been there during the day, and had dere(' some of his property for sale. Ile pursued to Oxford, and there lie ascertained that t,.:0 men auswering the description of the prisoners had taken places by the Paul Pry, London coach, which had left Oxford but a short time before. lie imme- liately took a place on the outside of the mail which was about to start for London, and at informed the driver of the coach of the rubbery which hail been committed. 'flee coachman said that he would overtake time Paul Pry before it travelled far on the way to London, and would adopt means to take tine robbers into custody. At Colnebrooke the Paul Pry and the mail arrived together ; and while they were changing horses, the driver of the mail informed the driver of the Paul Pry of the robbery, and the latter wd that the stolen property was in two black bags in the boot of his coach, told he would take care that it should not be removed. 'The driver of the mail drove his ouch with such rapidity that it arrived at Hounslow half an hour before the Paul Pry ; and the prosecutor }gas thereby afforded an opportunity of obtaining, the assistance. of BL.Ceoke, the High Constable. and Mr. Bennett, a constable of Hounslow. The witness diTtided himself in a suit of clothes that he borrowed of Mr. Bennett, and MAIL to inert then:al Pry at the top of the town. Ile saw the prisoners; and, knowing, their persons, gee a signal to the constables, who took them front the coach and handcuffed them. On Kuching the prisoners four watches were found in the pockets of 13arlienea, and two watches were found on Levy, which the witness identified as his property. He also

identified the whole of the jewellery, &c., which was produced by the coachman in two The prisoners being asked if they had anything- to say, replied that they found tie prosecutor's room door, which was adjoining to theirs, wide open, and they commit! n't resist the temptation. They were fully committed to Newgate, and the parties bound imr to prosecute. A daring and extensive burglary took place about four o'clock on Tuesday morning, in the house of Mr. Elliot, a gentleman of fortune, residing at Spring- hill, Plaistow, Kent. Bills of exchange, a watch. several gold rings, cash, 8:c. to the amount of upwards of 300/. were carried off. It is the fashion now for pickpockets to frequent places of public worship. A gentleman had his gold repeater stolen a few Sundays ago, while leaving the new chapel in Regent-street.

About mid-day on Wednesday week, a most daring attempt was made to rob the Manchester post-office. The clerks on duty were busily engaged in sorting letters, when a noise was heard in the private box office, and the falling of some loner. The clerks immediately rushed to the soot and discovered a man with his hands forced through the window, in time act of stealing a quantity of money, nhich had been left there for the purpose of giving change. The fellow was recognized by the police as a notorious thief, and an old acgnaintance. Four brothers, namedThomas Pierce, Nicholas, James, and Edmund Wallace, Jo:gide:A forty-five and the youngest twenty-seven. were found guilty at Clonsnel 1...'512es on Wednesday, of the murder of Arthur Graham, their brother-in-law, by ,icaugling him, and on Friday were executed on a temporary gallows erected in front of the gaol. geant Goold, the leading counsel for the defendant rose and said—” Before this case is entered upon, I think it toy duty to say that it is a case which ought not to be tried. I know the kindness and candour of my friend, time Solicitor-Gene- ral, and I am sure that neither he nor any other person can conceive that Mr. Gerard Callaghan was time author of the slander for which this action was brought. I think, for the sake of the public time, and in consideration of the feelings of all parties-concerned, that the particulars of this case ought not to go before the pub- lie." After a little deliberation, the Solicitor-General said he was ready to meet his learned friend in the same spirit; he wished, however, to know what the de- fendant was prepared to do. Mr. Sergeant Goold said, that from mere credulity his client was unfortunately made the dupe of declarations against the character of Lady Agnes 13yng, which Ise now believed to be utterly false. There was no man ism the community now more entirely convinced of the atrocity, the wicked- ness, and the utter falsehood of the publications reflecting on the character of that amiable lady, than Mr. Callaghan was ; and he instructed his coeissel now to make that public declaration. And if it could be conveyed in any stronger or more appropriate language, he was ready to make it, or to do anything eke that might be thought satisfactory to the feelings of that interesting and respectable young lady, and of her husband. The Solicitor-General was perfectly satisfied with this candid and honourable avowal on the part of the defendant. Mr. Cal- laghan, who was in Court, expres.Al in the strongest terms his regret for having unintentionally given a moment's pain to Lady Agnes Bon, or her husband, by appearing to credit a report so scandalously fake : Mr. Callaghan disclaimed alto- ether having ever been influenced by political feelings towards any of the parties concerned. The learned Judge (Mr. Justice Torrens) after expressing his plea- sure at the amicable and honourable manner in which the actin terminated, dis- charged the Jury.

Wiya-alutuagst.—Abraham Reed, a wild-looking man about thirty years of age,

was tried at the Bridgewater Assizes for poisonin, his to which, it is believed. lie was instigated not so touch by mere dislike, as by the desire to possess himself of a sum of money for her burial, to which the death of the un- fortunate woman entitled hint as a member of a benefit club at North 'Holton. The poison (arsenic) was administeresi iii cre:un : it had been expelled from the stomach of the victim by vomiting ; but throe remained ample and clear evidence of the crime, and this sordid murderer was doomed to suffer death and dissection.

Another brute, William Salewell or Sully, was condemned to the same punish:

meat. Gionce4er, on the 3rd, for killing. his wife by reiterated kicks with his bob-nailed shoes. One of her ribs was broken—omit so much crushed, as literally smashed. To this criminal, dissection seemed to be the most awful part of his sentence, and he begged that the Judge would pass from it.

About nine o'clock en Thursday night, a respec-ably-dressed young couple entered Waterloo-bridge from the Strand. and walked to and fro for sonte tune in earnest conversation. After wishing each other a good night. they parted ; the gentleman returning towards the Strand, and the lady proceeding in It contrary direction. The female pissed the watchman, to whosn she wished a good night ; and abort three minutes after a splash was heard, when it was ascertained that she had thrown herself from time parapet of the bridge into the river. From the time of night, it was impossible to get boats °fit° her assistance.

A waiter at Fenton's Hotel was killed in attempting to climb over the railing of the area, as he returned, intoxicated, from a late carousal on Tuesday night.

A few days ago, James Ward, of 'fattershall, who is ninety-six years of age, was employed in the harvest tieltl, and cut several siteztfs or wheat with a hook, in a piece of ground belonging to Mr. A. Booby, with as much facility as many persons at fifty or sixty years old. From his birth this aged man has known very little illness. For fifty-three years lie superintended the management of a farm belonging to Mr. T. Dickinson, a situation which he tilled with honesty, and is now reaping the reward of his fidelity is the constant kindness of his old master. He resides in one of the alsus-houses belonging to Earl Fortescue.—Buston Ga- zette.

The death of Mr. Charles Gilfert, late lessee and manager of the Bowery Theatre, was singular and extruirdasary. We understand that he died literally of madness, produced almost instantaneously, on hearing that Mr. Hackett had taken the theatre, with which he had been so closely connected from its founda- tion. The phrensy came suddenly and terribly upon hint, and continued without abatement until this morning. when he dropped down dead. lie neither ate nor slept, nor was he undressed for six or seven days, but paced his room, watched and guarded by five or six men, to prevent violence upon himself. Mr. Gilfert was an active man, of great musical science and taste, and a composer of no mean reputation.—gaerican Paper.

A young terrier dog was, on Wednesday evening, mainly instrumental in saving the life of a child who fell into the Severn, near the bridge. The generous animal, at the biding of its master, rushed into the water, and seizing the child on its risineto the surface, held it until a rope was thrown to it, and by which it was brought to shore.-11-oreester Herald.

A tremendous storm swept over Macclesfield and the neighbourhood on Sun* day. causing great damage to property. 'Whales, some of them of large size, have been disporting of late, singly and in shoals, tom various points of the British coasts. Some have been captured after fierce resistance.

Curate rata DEAFNESS.—A young man named Mutton, belonging to the Dock- yard, who has been for several months deaf and dumb, was on Wednesday even- ing last perfectly cured by time violent ringing of a hell near his car. He was ono of those persons who left this yard for Milford some time since, but being seized rather suddenly with this affliction in consequence of the drawing of a

tooth, lie was allowed to return to this dock-yard, in order to be near his friends ; and on Wednesday evening last, whilst drinking in company with his father and several others at the Clarence inn, in Catharine-street, our facetious town crier,

who was in the room, was called upon for a song, and, by request, proceeded to sing the " Bold Dragoon," accompanying the chorus with the violent ringing of his bell. This had such an effect on Mutton, that he rose from his seat and com- menced dancing about the room, and singing aloud, to the astonishment and delight of his father and all present. The wonder of the cure soon got into cir- culation, much to the discomfiture of the crier ; who will now, no doubt, receive a number of visits from persons similarly situated, in order to try the virtue of his bell.—Devonport Telegraph.

THE ENGLIsti CLEROy.—A correspondent of the Standard recommends the following extracts from a pamphlet " On the Christian Duty of Granting the Claims of the Roman Catholics;" thinking it desirable that the Clergy of the Established Church should be aware what estimate is formed of them by the author of the pamphlet, the Reverend Dr. Thomas Arnold, Head Master of Rugby School. "I know that there are amongst them men who are not to he surpassed in holiness of life, or in vigour of natural abilities. But what they do want, and 1 speak it neither reproachfully nor insultingly, is acquired knowledge and impar- tiality. It is notorious that a large portion of them abstain habitually upon prin- ciple from the study of politics; and how can they possibly understand what they have refused to learnt And .what is the ordinary education of a clergyman? The history of his own country, except in a mere abridgment, forms no part of his necessary studies either at school or at the university; still less does it gene- rally occupy his attention when he begins to prepare himself for his own profes- sion. Many persons certainly read much more than they are compelled to do. but not the majority ; and, in point of fact, I should not underrate the historical knowledge of the mass of the clergy, if I supposed them to have read Hume, perhaps with Smollett's continuation Clarendon, and Burnet's History of the Reformation. Of the laws and of die progress of our constitution of England they know but little : and of the history of the other nations of Europe, their knowledge is commonly still more limited. The impressions which they gain from the writers I have mentioned, for with the mass of readers the tone of an athhor's sentiments leaves a much deeper impression than his detail of facts, are all in favour of Toryism, or against the Catholics ; and these in the present state of affairs belong to the same party, and lead to the same political conduct. Their professional studies tend to produce the same bias : their making the thirty-nine articles the text•book for a large portion of their theological reading, accustoms them to look at religion controversially; • they learn what are the arguments by which the Catholics are to be combated; and the obnoxious tenets of the Romish Church are brought before their eyes in their most offensive form, while the good parts of the system. and the causes which led to its errors, and which, although they do not make them less errors, yet would often moderate our dislike and suspicion of those who held them, are not presented to them. With this pre- vious education, if they travel for a short time on the Continent of Europe, and particularly if they visit Italy, they return hone with prejudices increased and ignorance unenlightened."

FnEaKs of ens Moox.—The York Iferald gravely gives the following under the head of " Celestial Phenomena." "A person has called at our office, who relates sonic' very curious appearances which he says he (in company with several others) witnessed in the moon, on their road from Leeds to this city, on Thursday night. When they came near Halton-bar, about eleven o'clock, the moon had just risen above the horizon, and was shilling serenely, in a clear atmosphere. As the party were remarking to each other on the fineness of the night the moon seemed to part in two, its disc separating down the centre, and leaving an ap- parent space of about one yard between the two hemispheres, in which the distant and deep azure of the sky was visible. Whilst in this state from the northern limb of the lunar orb a bright appearance darted forth in form like the head of a spear, and surrounded with brilliant stars. On a sudden it seemed to be with- drawn. and in its place appeared the distinct form of two human figures, which were visible to the waist, and one arm and the hand of one of them was extended on the surface of that half of the disc from which it emerged. A deep red girdle was round the head of one. This appearance remained for some tone, when a cloud obscured the moon altogether from view. On its having passed away the same occurrence was renewed, and our informant states that the whole time, during which he had an uninterrupted view of these strange phenomena, was above an hour, and that he and those who were with him were greatly amazed at the wonderful appearance. We give this account as nearly as possible as it was related to us ; and no doubt some one may have seen these phenomena who may be able to give a more scientific description, and, perhaps, definition, of them."

Aram-11,11:11AL Revoke Fon Ahuusr.—Among the numerous and contradictory reports of the harvest, with which the press at this season teems, the following is one of the least favourable, but not the least likely to be near the mark. "Look- ing primarily to wheat, as the crop in which both growers and consumers are mainly interested, it is clear that the various accidents of soil and exposure, of early and late sowing, have this year been peculiarly influential, and have caused its produce to vary in such numerous instances, and between such wide extremes, that it is very difficult to calculate the average result, as to quantity : and, in such a tickle and unpropitious season, the earlier or later ripening of the grain is a circumstance that has introduced as great a variety into the quality as into the quantity of the produce. Had the harvest proceeded under the most favourable circumstances, it could hardly have exceeded a common average produce, taking it altogether ; and it may reasonably be doubted whetherit would have fully attained to that point. As it is, the miserable weather that has prevailed of late will not only seriously injure the quality of the wheat crop, but will lessen the quantity by the waste which inevitably occurs, under such circumstances, in vari- ous ways,—by the impossibility of reaping the lodged and tangled wheat in a clean and efficient manner—by the loss which takes place in turning• the grips, in tying and untying the sheaves, moving and setting tip the fallen shocks —and tying the increase of refuse and damaged corn, which, in winnowing, never comes to the bushel. All this. though apparently little in detail, makes a fearful deduction in the aggregate. Taking the average of the kingdom through- out, there is, probably even yet, not more than half of the wheat crop secured ; for, we know of districts, even in the South, where less than that portion is housed; and in the North, there must be much yet uncut. It is folly to say, or to believe, that the continued rains have not yet seriously injured the grain, whether cut or uncut; nut only by causing it to sprout, but by thickening its coat, spoiling its colour, rendering the flour less perfectly separable from the bran, and by deaden- ing, its spirit—a miller's term, which, although we do not pretend to define, we practically know to involve a serious deterioration of quality and price. Samples of prime quality there may be; but it must be evident thatonly a small portion of the crop, which was carried very early, could be uninjured by the weather in the field; and of this small portion no inconsiderable share was put together so hastily as to incur great risk of heating„ or of continuing damp and tough. Of spring corn, comparatively little has as yet been cut; but from the state in which it lies, the sickle must he actively employed as soon as possible. Much of the barley and oats in various pasts of the country are nearly as green as ever. Of barley there are generally two or more distinct growth in the same crop; the rain has discoloured and blackened the ends of tines grain ; and it must prove coarse, uneven, and on the whole, very inferior in quality. On hot, dry, shallow-moulded uplands, they are thin and short; while on lower and richer, yet sound land, there is au abundant supply boa, of straw and of long well-looking ears. But here, too frequently, the rains have beaten down the crops, and in some of the richest parts of England, all is so flat (even wheat yet uncut), and the grass and weeds are so triumphantly lording it over the prostrate grain, that it is almost impossible, without close inspection, to say of what species it consists. The general aspect forebodes a very inferior quality : and with respect to quantity, in such a state of things as we have at. tempted to describe, it would be presumption to hazard even a wide calculation. conclusion could be formed but from an examination too extensive, as well as too minute, to be within the compass of any man's ability ; and the final result de. peals on what no man can foresee, the future state of the weather. A dry anti sunny fortnight may do more than could be expected ; or the same period of rain and gloom may annihilate, for any useful purpose, portions of spring corn that would otherwise be productive. beans are very generally conailained of. Crops vary so continually, and so much, even front field to field, that no generalThere have been some favourable circumstance attending the sowing of turnips this year—a sufficiency of moisture for the purposes of vegetation, and a remarkable absence of the destructive turnip fly. The second crop of clover is good, and even luxuriant in soils well adapted to it. In the hop grounds. notwithstandine partial starts of the most vigorous plants, little lope seems to be entertained, except as far as the precarious chance of very genial weather may work unlinked. for miracles at the eleVenth hour." Since this report was written. nearly one half of the " dry and sunny fortnight" so greatly desiderated, has been redizetl- let us hope, with the desired effect.
