Tlu-re ?,r^ but few facts stated. and most of those are contra- dieted. BPrianiiu;- with Spain, it is said that the sietre of jJilhoa Ins been raised by the Oarlists and on the other hand, thit it lias not been raised, but that the assailants are determined to take the eitv. The weather, however, has been so extremely an favourable, that the Carlists Isiid great difficulty in keeping up their works. Of they experience greater hard- ship than fho g-trrisott, tvlii'dt is under cover. The last active operation of which we have intelligence, was a sortie of the garrison on the "?.-d November, it. as sustained with little loss by the Carlists, who reomsed the eneeiv with considerable slaughter; but this is the Carlist account. Gomez is everywhere and nowhere — that is, nobodv can te!! his position at any given tune it is hoped, though, in Madrid, that Narvaez, will find him" somewhere, and retake the plunder he lias amassed. Hands of Carlist marauders have advanced within a short distance of Madrid, and the last battalion of the garrison has been sent out to drive them back. Some alterations in the Ministry were on the point of being completed, when the last accounts left Madrid. Lopez had resigned the 1-Tomo Department, to be succeeded by G on sales, and Cuadra the Marine, which infante was to have. Ca'.atrava remains at the head of the Government; but Mendizabal, according to the story, was to give up the Finance Ministry to Ferrer, and Moscoso to succeed Rodil as Minister of The approaching session of the French Chambers occupies the thoughts of the politicians 01 Paris. Thiers intends to go into active opposition. He will be supported by the Tiers-Parti, the Liberals, and the Carlists. Guizot, with more pluck than Peel showed under very similar circumstances, has resolved to fight the Parliamentary battle in a Chamber that was last year devoted to his rival. Such is the influence pos- sessed by the Government of the day over the Deputies, that it is considered possible for Guizot to find a ma- jority to support, him. There is a talk of an alliance between the Duke of Orleans and a Russian Princess but the rumour finds few to credit it. The danger to the Orleans dynasty from the establishment of Don Carlos in Spain, is seriously discussed in the Consti- tutionnel. It is assumed, that at least a most trouble- some Vendeau war might be kept up, with underhand assistance from Navarre; while France would not be permitted to attack Spain under a lef/itimate Sovereign. -The Paris Journal, La France, was seized last week for having stvled the Duke and Duchess of Angouleme King- and Queen of France. On Saturday, the respon- sible" Editor, M. Verteuil de Feuillas, was condemned bv the Court of Assizes of the Seine to three months' imprisonment, and 3000 francs finc-1st. for having (by the paragraph above cited) attacked the rights of the King; 2(1, for having attacked the order of succes- sion to the Throne; and, 3dly, for having declared iiis adhesion to a form of Government not recognised by the charter of 1830. The Coitr Royale has confirmed the sentence of the Correctional Police which con- demned a print-seller called Bobley to a fine of 100 francs and a month's imprisonment, for selling the por- trait of the Duke of Bordeaux. If the accounts re- ceived from Brest and Toulon be worthy of credit, the French Government contemplates naval operations on a large scale. The Quotidienne asserts that orders for fitting out every ship of war in both those ports have been issued by Government. The Eclaireur of loulon states, that several ships of war were ready to put to sea, in that port, but it was understood the object for preparing them was the conveyance of large reinforce- ments to Algiers, Bougeia, and Oran, which places it was apprehended the Arabs would attack during the absence of Marshal Clausel on his expedition against Constantine. A very deep sensation was produced in Paris by the account of the execution in cold blood of an aged Swiss Officer, by order of Don Carlos. An arrival at Falmouth from Lisbon, brings intelli- gence to the 28th ultimo. The National Guards have held a public meeting, at which the Civil Governor of Lisbon presided to protest against a resolution taken by the Ministers to alter, on their own authority, an article in the Constitution which prevented Ministers from being elected as Deputies, and to insist upon the dismissal of all persons in the Government-service who were concerned in the recent attempt at counter-revo- lution at Beleni. The Ministers held a council, and intimated to the National Guard, that if they persisted in their opposition to Government, all the Ministers would resign at once, with their under-secretaries and clerks. Upon this, it would seem, the discontented became more'manageable, and withdrew their opposi- tion for the present. His Majesty held a Privy Council at the Pavilion, Brighton, on Wednesday afternoon, which was attended bv the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President, the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, Lord John Russell, Lord Pal- merston. Lord Chief Justice Denman, Lord Glenelg, Lord Minto, Sir J. C. Hobhouse, and the Recorder of London, who made his report of the prisoners in New- gate convicted at the last Session of the Central Cri- minal Court, and under sentence of death—W. Spinks, 22. Ambrose Elms, 23, and W. Bell, 24, for burglary —all of whom his Majesty was graciously pleased to respite during pleasure.—A Proclamation was ordered to be issued proroguing Parliament from the 8th. and summoning it to meet for the despatch of public business on the 31st of January.—The Ministers after- wards dined with his Majesty. Covers were laid for 4i.—[The Proclamation appears in the Gazette of last evening.] The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, attended by Lady Theresa Strangways and Sir John Conroy, left Ramsgate on Tuesday morning; but in consequence of the violence of the weather, proceeded no further than Rochester, where they dined and slept; and the next morning went on to Claremont, where it is said that their Royal Highnesses intend to pass some time. Letters have been received from the Duke of Cum- berland, intimating his intention of being in London the week after Christmas. The Duchess and Prince George are not likely to visit this country until a more advanced period. The Hon. Mr. Lamb, only son of Viscount Mel- bourne, died on Sunday morning, at the residence of his Lordship in South-street. Mr. Lamb was of weak intellect, and has been in a declining state of health for some time past. He was about thirty years of age.— Sir Frederick Lamb, his Lordship's brother, is now presumptive heir to the title. Bv the decease of Major-Gen. the Hon Sir Charles Greville, a vacancy occurs in the Colonelcy of the 38th Regiment of Foot. Prince Polignac and his son landed at Dover yester- day from Calais,andin a fewhoursafterwards proceeded on his way to town.—The Prince left his place of con- finement at Ham on Tuesday last. He is stated to be greatly altered in appearance,and seems much dejected. We are informed by a Brussels correspondent that much interest has been excited at Liege by a young English lady, of great beauty and accomplishments, who has been abandoned by her father Lord A, to the charitv of the proprietors of a "pension," where she was placed by his Lordship three years past. The Noble Earl having neglccted to pay for his daughter's maintenance for the last two years, and having taken no notice of repeated applications, the unfortunate girl, who is little more than sixteen, was menaced with being turned adrift. But the King having been applied to, i i s t;! I his .Majesty, with that goodness which characterises him, referred the subject to the Minister of the Interior, who has directed a sum to be paid for the education of Lord A.'s daughter out of the charitable fund. We mention this case in the hope that the Noble Lord will be induced to relieve his child from the miseries that would await her if not supported by the benevolence of the Belgic Government, and himself from the odium that must be attached to such unfeeling conduct.— London paper. The Board of Guardians of Lambeth having been ap- plied to by some of the parishioners to throw open their proceedings to the public, applied for instructions to the Poor Law Commissioners; who, in reply, stated, that under existing circumstances it was deemed ad- visable to refuse the admission of strangers at the de- liberations of the Boards of Guardians. Various rea- sons are assigned for this exclusion among which are, that the individual Guardians would become marked men in the parish, in consequence of their opinions expressed at their meetings that the proceedings at onen vestries have generally been carried by members of public-house clubs, in opposition to the wishes of the majority of the respectable rate-pavers and that in those instances where the deliberations of the Boards of Guardians have been open to the public, the practice has hfen found prejudicial to the paupers, as well as to the interests of the rate-payers. The Commissioners I I I observe, that the publicity given to the proceedings by all the books being open for inspection is sufficient. It is directed that all Navy bills not due or not pre- seated before the 30th November, shall be paid after that day at the office of his Majesty's Paymaster-Ge- neral at White-Hall. This is the first notification to the public that the long-contemplated improvement, which has been organized by Sir Henry Parnell, of consolidating the Pay-offices of the Army and Navy into one, is completed, and is henceforth to oe acted on. Earl Fitzwilliam has contributed :1001. towards erect- ing an infant school at Malton, capable of holding from 300 to 400 children. It it understood that the new diocese of Ripon will be divided into two Archdeaconries; one, that of Craven, to comprise the greater part of the West Riding; and the other, that of tiiclunoiul, to comprise tiie remainder of the diocese.— (Jlobe. Lord Broughan has lately been giving several din- ners to a select circle of his friends at his residence in Berkeley-square. The parties have generally averaged i from eight to twelve. The Town-Council of Louth, who consist of Dissen- ters, have refused permission to Mrs. W. Robinson to open the theatre there, on account of the wickedness of theatrical amusements. — Boston Herald. There has been a battle on the Church-rate question at Brighton and at the final close of the poll, on Tues- day, there were — For the rate, 7tH persons, giving 1,702 votes; against the rate, 994 persons, giving 1,389 votes. Majority of votes for the rate, 313 majority of persons against it, 2!)3. Tims the majority were over- powered by the persons holding a plurality of votes. The Reformers of Lambeth had a meeting at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, on Monday evening: and adopted resolutions in favour of a.Reform of the House of Peers, and Justice to Ireland. A vote of confidence in Ministers wasalsopassed. Several persons wished that a declaration in favour of the Ballot and Suffrage Extension should ')e made; but they were negatived. In the Court of Exchequer this moraing. the cause Frllser v. Bcrhciey was tried before the Lord Chief Baron and a special jury. The plantiff is the publisher of Fruser's Mayazine, and the defendants are Mr. Grantley Berkeley, M.P. and Mr. Craven Berkeley, his brother. The action was brought for an alleged violent assault, the circumstances of which have been already before the public.—Verdict for plantiff with 1001. damages. In the Sheriff's Court, on Wednesday, Messrs. Storr and Mortimer, the jewellers in Bond-street, obtained a verdict with 251. damages against Lord Alvanley. It appeared that the defendant had ordered plate to the value of 1501. 8s. 6d. as a wedding present to a friend (Mr. Warrender); who, however, on hearing two years after that his Lordship had been frequently applied to for payment without success, returned the plate to the plaintiffs, who now claimed 251. for the depreciation in value. On Thursday, Mr. Sergeant Arabia came into Court without his robes, and said that he was too ill to pre- side. Mr. Thomas pressed for the hearing of a cause specially appointed for that day, in which the witnesses had been brought up from Southampton, and had re- mained in town more than a week the expenses of further delay would be ruinous. Mr. Arabin, however, said, "I can't help it; I merely came to say that I am very ill. I am at the point of death I shall not stop." He then left the Court. A new Salt Company, it is stated, is forming at Droitwich and from the great and increasing demand for that article, both for home and foreign consumption, the proposed speculation, it is considered, will be a safe and good one. Henry Monteith, Esq. of Carstairs, is to act as Chair- man at the diner to be given to Sir Robert Peel at Glasgow. A pavilion fitted to contain from 2000 to 3000 persons, is to be erected in the garden ground of John Gordon, Esq. of Buchanan-street. The price of the tickets is fixed at 25s. The surplus, after defraying the expences, is to be given to some charity. Tuesday the 12th of January is the day fixed upon. Mr. Robert Holland, who ascended from London Oil the late aerial excursion to the continent has returned, having left his companions Mr. Green and Mr. Monck Mason, at Coblcntz, on their way to Paris, whence they contemplate making an ascent. Mrs. Butler (late Miss Fanny Kemble) and her infant, accompanied by a female servant, arrived at Liverpool on Sunday, from New York, in the packet-ship South America. Mrs. Butler was met on her arrival by her father, Mr. C. Kemble, and took her residence at the Adelphi Hotel. An explosive letter' was received on Sunday morn- ing, by a widow lady of N orthwich, Cheshire. In cutting the paper round the seal, it went of, with a ter- rible report, injuring the lady's hand and the cheek of afemale friend. On Wednesday morning, when the Portsmouth In- dependent coach was about to start from the Golden Cross, the horses set off at full gallop along Cockspur- street and up the Haymarket, where they were stopped. The coach was full of passengers, but none were injured. Surely some heavy fine ought to be inflicted for allow- ing horses to remain by themselves after the passengers have taken their places. An opinion that Madame de Beriot was not legally divorced from her first husband, who is lately deceased, gains ground. How far it may be correct we have not the means of judging; but a decision in the affirmative would at once put an end to the dispute between M. de 13criot and the people of Manchester.—Manchester Courier. Messrs. Connell of Carlisle have shewn that after paying every shilling of their liabilities they still pos- sess a considerable surplus, so that no loss will accrue from their suspension and after a careful examination of Messrs. Forster's books, the accountants state, that estimating the assets and expences, there remains suffi- cient. to pay all the creditors at least 16s. in the pound. Reilly, the "tithe-martyr," (whose death was an- nounced in the Dublin papers before it took place), died a few days since upon his way to Longford. What feeling did the event excite ? Within one hour after the miserable victim had breathed his last, his body was carried in funeral state towards Ardagh, fol- l, lowed by a mourning procession of full five thousand people and on the arrival of the cOTté,'le-a simple one, but deeply fraught with feeling—opposite the residence of Dean Murray, the air was rent for the space of five successive minutes with yells of execration, which were heard through the country for miles round. And this lamentable tragedy the organ of Irish Tory- ism has the audacity to call a farce !Dublin Cor- respondent of the Courier. WRITS OF REBELLION.—The Dublin Court of Ex- chequer was crowded on Tuesday, to hear the argument of Mr. O'Connell in support of his motion to set aside the writ of rebellion in the case of Green versus Hogan. The ground of the motion was that three writs, called the alias subpoena, the pluries subpoena, and the attachment with proclamation, which should intervene between the issue of the first sub- poena requiring the defendant to appear and answer, and the issue of a writ of rebellion, had not been issued at all. Mr. O'Connell argued this question with his usual acumen, or, as the Chief Baron said, "very ably and like a lawyer." Sergeant Jackson, on the other side, contended that the Court had established a new practice, and that the omitted writs were mere matters of form, which could be dispensed with under the autlwrity of the Court. The Judges appeared to be of a different opinion. The effect of this, Chief Baron Joy intimated, would be to reverse all their previous decrees in writs of sequestiation. This would be a serions matter to the reverend plaintiffs and their lawyers. On Thursday the Court discharged IJogan, without payment of costs, Mr. O'Connell entering an appearance for him and without prejudice to a decision on the main question. In the Court of Kind's Bench, Dublin, on Fridav, a condititional rule was obtained against the Marquis of Westmeath, to stay pro- ceedings in forty-four writs which the noble tithe-claimant had caused to be issued for small sums. ROYAL BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY. — On Tuesday last the noble lioness in Mr. Wombwell's meuagerie, exhibiting on St. Andrew's Hill, Cambridge, produced four beautiful young cubs; they, as well as their royal mother are doing well. It is a singular fact that the lioness will not be three years old until the 17th of December, and an instance of such precocity is not known in natural history, it being the opinion of most naturalists that the lioness does not attain maturity until five years old. CAUTION To FARMERS.—On Saturday last Mr. Z. Chick, of Crickett St. Thomas, turned a bull and five heifers into a field cn his farm, in which was growing a yew tree, a part of the head of which had lately been broken off and was lying in the field, and of which the bullocks had eaten. On Sunday Mr. Chick went into the field to see his stock, when he discovered three of them dead a short distance from the tree, and on driving the others, which he preceivcd to be ill, towards his barton, they fell down repeatedly how- ever, with great difficulty, he succeeded in getting them home, where they now remain in a very dangerous state, but it is noped, from the prompt means resorted to, he will be able to preserve them. Whilst Mr. Chick was engaged in driving the bullocks home, a ewe jumped out of the hedge andbrokclier neck; and on the same night he had a sheep killed and several others severely injured by a dog, in afield in the parish of Axn.inster, where the sheep were put to keep. The bullocks were of very choice breed, and the estimated loss, should they all die, is upwards of 1501.
! NORTH DEVON REFORM MEETING.
NORTH DEVON REFORM MEETING. There was a public meeting and afterwards a dinner er. of North Devonshire Reformers, at South Alolton, on the I 23d ultimo. Lord Ebrington and Mr. Newton Fellowes, the Atembers for North Devon, attended, and delivered speeches at both. Lord Ebrington disclaimed any know- ledge or belief of the intention of Ministers to dissolve the House of Commons, in which they have or had a majority. He therefore thought that the Tory canvass of the county for Sir Thomas Aeland, was premature. Whenever a dis"- solution, however, did take place, he would not shrink from the struggle. L nl Ebrington adverted to the conduct of the Lords; who, he reatly thought, were under the inipres- sion that, in rejecting the Liberal rnensures proposed to them, they were acting in unison with the wishes of the people. When they found out their mistake, he did not despair of their yielding, as they had so often done before, notwithstanding the assertions of Lord Wharnciiffe and of the Tory journalists that they never would give way. lie wisheel to state distinctly his views with regard to the Radi- cal Reform of the Lords, which was declared by many persons, for whom he had great respect, to be the only remedy for existing evils—the only means by which the ad*- vance of liberty and of good government coald be secured, —f Vehement and protracted cheering proved how heartily the meeting concurred in this opinion.) Gentler.ieii, I am anxious to state to you distinctly my views upon this most important question, because I believe that those views dili'er in some decree from all those that have hitlurto been heard or read upon tlie subject. I differ on the one hand en- tirely from those who maintain that the existing constitution of the House of Lords, in all its particulars, is one of those funda- mental bulwarks of the Constitution unchanged and immutable, which will admit of no public modification without the absolute destruction of our political constitution. Gentlemen, I am astonished that men of sense, professing to be well read in the history of their countrv, can maintain such a doctrine. I pass by the practical change in the composition of the House of Lords by the immense increase of its numbers since the accession of deorge the Third. Will any gentleman maintain, that on the Union with Scotland, the admission of sixteen Representative Peers elected for that country for the Parliament only, was no change or innovation in the constitution of the Ilouse of Lords ? Can any one maintain ts-at the election of twentv-eight Represen- tative Peers for Ireland, for the life of each Peer, was not an innovation iu the constitution of the House of Lords? And can any one pretend to say, that, after this innovation, any further ex- tension of the elective principles would be a new or unheard-of violation of the right of hereditary succession inherent in the House of Lords? 1 have ever considered that the House of Lords, like every other institution of this country, is liable to undergo modification and change — (Great cheering)-if it shall be "hown clearly that such change is called for by the general in- terests of the community, and that it can be effected by legal and constitutional means." But he objected to the proposition for the Reform of the House of Lords on different grounds— I must confess that I have not yet heard of any plan of re- form of which the benefit would, in my opinion, be commensurate to the difficulty of effecting it for you must all be aware that, in the present temper and disposition of the House of Lords, no change coald be elfecied in it without such an arbitrarv exercise of the prerogative of the Crown, in the creation of Peers, as no Sovereign would undertake and no Ministry would have the hardihood to recommend, unless it were clearly shown that such an exercise of the prerogative was absolutely required by the concurrent voice of the whole community of the land. Now I am sure, that at present such would not be easy, for I am not vet satisfied that the change is necessary to carry into effect those measures of good government which the mass of the people have at heart." Mr. Newton Fellowes had no scruples about reforming the Lords— He had an opinion, not taken tip that day, but before the Retorm Bill passed, that although he saw great benefits would result from it, vet it could not work its way without a reforma- tion in the House of Lords. (Enthusiastic cheering.) I know not what will be proposed to obtain that object; but I have very much at heart that that object should be obtained, that the voice of the people may be heard there as well as in their own house. I should like, I confess, that you should make an experiment: it is in your power to signify your wishes to that House-it is by a county meeting that you can declare that such and such measures have been rejected by that House, and invite them to adopt those measures so rejected. If they were to set themselves up against your Representatives, and against you as a body, I say then, that If petitions will not do, state to your Representatives that you ivish to go farther. ( Cheers) It is ridiculous for any spt of men to say that the sea shall not advance—that the river shallllot run in its own course-merely because they say it shall not. The course of Reform must proceed and I trust that the people will tell them, legitimately and constitutionally, that they will be heard. But we are told that we are likei v to bring about a revo- lution by our strong measures I say that we are likely to avoid one. The Reformers of South Devon have resolved not to be behind the rest of the country in the general movement. We noticed last week that the spirited men of Totness were determined to give their Members a dinner. The Members for the Borough, Lord Seymour and Mr. Parrott, together with Lord Cranstoun, Lord Ebrington, Sir Robert Newman, Honourable Newton Fellowes, Colonel Seale, Mr. Hamlyn, Mr. T. Newman, and all the leading Reformers are invited; so that xhe meeting will be a fair representation of the Liberal interest in South Devon.— Western Times.

NEw UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.—The Charter for the new University of London received the Royal Signature about a month atro. This new Establishment is formed for conducting Examinations, for granting Degrees in Law and Medicine, and for defining and regulating practice in the different branches of those Professions. NEW POOlt LAW.—In the year 1833, during harvest, there was an average of twenty-five men employed on the roads by the parish. It is now with difficulty the Surveyor can obtain hands to break the stone I--Lincoln Gazette. PRICE OF OILS.—Whale and seal oils, which in May, 1835, sold at 29/. per tun, are at present quoted at from 561. to 581. per tun. LAND NEAR LONDON.—A piece of land on the U\- bridge road, with not a very desirable frontage, was sold lately after the rate of 8000L per acre. THE TEA TRADE.—The delivery last week Was 414,9901b. The trade is rather more active, notwithstanding the near approach of the East India Company's sale of 4,000,0001b., which will commence next week.-It is weil known in the City that persons engaged in the Tea Trade have been encumbered for some time past with an overstock of Bohea of inferior quality, which was so little liked in the market, that beyond the equalized duty of 2s. Id. the pound which came into force in July last, no such return could be obtained as would remunerate the expense incurred in its importation. Such stocks have consequently been rapidly accumulating for some time past, and, as the payment of the duty was compulsory, a very large amount of capital became thereby locked up and useless. Most of the importers and parties interested would have been glad, under these cir- cumstances, as to re-export the article to the Continent provided they could obtain an allowance of the duty paid in the first instance, but there was no law in existence under which this could be permitted. Very urgent representations were made to the Treasury on the subject in order to obtain the desired relief, and the necessity of the case was so ap- parent and so urgent, that all objections have been over- come.-A partial order was made last week, and acted upon to some extent, to allow the return of duty on Bohea Tea exported, and on Monday morning an official notice was sent to the Custom House from the Treasury, that an order, which it is expected will be a general one, is about to be issued, allowing Bohea Tea upon which the duty has been paid to be exported, and the duty thereon returned" AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR NOVEMBER.—Another extraordinary month of this singular year has almost elapsed. We had scarcely closed our Report for October, when we were surprised by a frost, the severity of which, at that early season, was somewhat startling. 06 the 27th ult. the thermometer at mid-day shewed 46 deg.; at night it fell to 34, with a brisk wind from N.W. On the morning of the 28th it froze; and at ten p. M. the instrument indicated 25 degrees, being a fall of 7 degrees; the weather continued fine and bright, but the morning of the succeeding day was ushered in with snow, which fell in very large quantity, and remained on the ground till the 1st November inst., the in- tervening days being very cold, and the frost, though not severe, recurring every night. We recollect to have wit- nessed three falls of snow at distant periods, wherein there was a remarkable coincidence of dates: these occurred in 1819, 1823, and again the present year, and each occurred on or about the 28th of October, and was accompanied with a storm of wind, and a certain degree of frost; but the cold of the present season has far exceeded that of the other periods. The general character of the early weeks of November has been rainy; but there have been fine ex- ceptions, and works of liusbandry have proceeded sucess- ftillv; the land has turned up extremely well, and the young Wheat is healthy. Perhaps there is at this moment too great a quantity of rain for the plant; but when the long continuance of drought during the last two summers is con- sidered, it may be doubtful whether the due balance is as yet restored. At all events we are certain, from direct evidence, that the rain of 1836 had not penetrated to the depth of two feet in many places, even where the soil was of a free and good quality; and it has been ohservell within the last few weeks that numbers of leaves had died on the trees. Superficially, the grontid is wet; but the sub-soil, we believe, remains unsaturated. A cry of alarm has been abroad—"many crops have failed" much of the barley is still green"—" potatoes are a total failure"—and, as a natu- ral consequence, prices have rapidly advanced. The poor, the small tradesman, and the housekeeper with a limited in- come, are now obliged to pay double, within a trifle, the price for which they could purchase a bushel of flour a little more than a year ago and the farmer still urges an advance We would inquire whether there be any just and sufficient cause for that great national calamity, dear bread; whether the unreasonable advance in prices be satisfactorily aocounted for by the mere reports of injury which the crops have par- tially sustained ? We say partially; for, to our certain know- ledge, the wheat, barley, and oats-vast breadths of each, of fine quality, were entiuly and seasonably secured HI perfect safety. We are certain—and the truth of what we now as- sert is borne out by the united testimonials of some of the best and ablest authorities—that, were the Agriculturist Body to consult its own permanent interest, it would seek remunera- tion in a scientific and greatly enlarged rotation of crops, in improved tillage, leading to increased pi-oditetiveness-and I I not in advanced prices.

TIIE object of tills Company is to creel ^\orks for making ami nianufiicturiiHr Iron, from the Iron Ore and Bituminous Coal lying- under the Biaongwrarh Estate, in the Yak of Neath, Glamorganshire, containing about S00 Acres aboundin"- in the richest Iron Ore, and about 500 A: res of Bituminous Coal, isell adapted to the making and manu- facturing of Iron. The property is closely adjoining, and is connected v itb the Neath Canal, by a Railroad. The distance over the Canal to the Port of Neath is eleven miles, to the Port of Swansea fifteen miles; to both the transit is easy and cheap. The iron Ore is now, and has been for some time, in the course ofprontabic working, for the partial supply of the Neath Abbey Iron Works. Tiie beds of iron Ore, equal to 69 inches, are computed to yield upwards of Twelve .Millions of Tons. There are four proved Veins of Bitumiiious Coal, avadable by Sen i, the total thickness of which veins is 15 feet 6 inches; which are computed to yield Four Millions oi Tons. There are also three other cms of Bituminous Coal known to be under the Blaengwrach Estate, which have not yet been proved. A quantity of Coal worked from the Bituminous Vein lias been coked, and the coke has boon made use of in the Gadleys Iron Furnace, under the superintendence ot Air. W. aync, with the most satisfactory results. There are erected upon the properly Thirty-five Cottages for Workmen, Agent's House, Office, Blacksmith's and Car- penler's Shops, Storehouses, Stables, &c. &c. The whole, with the Farms of Blaencleirch and Sellar, is held under lease, of which 83 years are now unexpired. The reserved rent by the lease for the Bituminous Coal is I'fjO per annum, and for the Iron Ore also £ 50 per annum. The royalty or galeaec on the Coal is 6d. per ton, on the iron Ore Is. per ton. There is a long suspense account for royalties on the Iron Ore not worked, the reserved rent on which has been paid, whith advantage will vest iu the Company. The Company tire offered a most eligible site for the erection of Furnaces and Mills, with sufficient room for the deposition ot s!ajr, and every kind ot rubbish, at a nominal rent, and for a term co-existent with the Blaengwrach Lease, the proprietor taking his remuneration for the occupation of tiie land by a small Tonnage Rate lo be paid him for the conveyance of materials along the Railroad on his estate, laid down at a very considerable expense by the present Lessees. Limestone can be procured from the Dinas Mountain, to which there is a communication already open to the public by Tram road and Canal, and also from the Ports of Neath and Swansea, to both which places it is brought by Vessels as Ballast. From the calculations of persons of experience in the manufacture of Iron, to whom the situation has been long known, Pig- Iron of the best quality can be made on this spot, and delivered oil board either at .Swansea or Neath under £ 3 per ton, thus enabling the Company to compete with existing establishments under any depression of the trade. It is proposed to form a Company with a Capital ol £ 100,000, in 2000 Shares of £50 each, for the purpose of purchasing the Lease and Erections, the right of working out the reserved rent on the Iron Ore, and for erecting Four Blast Furnaces and Roiling Mills, with other appendages, for the making and manufacturing of Iron. A provisional arrangement has been made with the Lessees for the purchase of their Interest, at a sum of f 9,500; the purchase to be made in the name of T rustees, as the Directors shall think advisable. The concerns of the Company are to be under the management of the Directors (of whom three are to be a quorum) and will be regulated by a Deed limiting the liability of the Shareholders, as between themselves, to the amount paid up on each Share, and containing all such clauses as Counsel appointed by the Directors shall think advisable. The Directors, previous to the execution of the Deed of Settlement, are to have power to till up vacancies occasioned by death or retirement, or to add to their number. A deposit of tl per Share will be required at the time of application, f4 per Share on the execution of the Deed of Settlement, and the remainder according to the decision of the Directors. Two months' notice will be given of any call, which will not at Any time exceed :€.) per Share; and from the most exact calculations that can be made it is confidently expected that not more than £ 70 per Cent. of the amount of the Shares will he required. The peculiar feature of the property here described is, that for a comparatively very moderate outlay it offers advantages that must ensure a profit equal to that of Works to be purchased or formed at an enormous expense. The Leases, owing to peculiar circumstances, are contracted for at a very small sum. The Property in respect of Iron Ore and Bituminous Coal is a maiden one, yet the Minerals are won and ready for working. The situation is unrivalled, affording the most desirable facility and cheapness of communication with the two Ports of Swansea and Neath. The accommodation of Railroads and Canals are already provided in the most perfect form. A personal inspection of the locality would convince even superficial observers of the many signal advantages assembled in one spot to render this one of the most desirable positions in Great Britain for the proposed object; to those who would avail themselves of ocular demonstration of the existence of those favourable circumstances previous to embarking in the enter- prize, everv facility will be afforded on application to .Mr. W Rowland, Coai Agent, Glyn Nedd. Applications for Shares may be made, in writing (postage paid), to Messrs. Slu ppard and Starbuck, Spread Eagle-court, Graeechurch-strcet, London, and to William Llewellyn, Esq.

The following are selected from nume- rous other testimonials equally satislactory, in tiie possession ol the Proprietor. Sir- For mallY years I have sntfered by Corns, and latterly I felt such excruciating pain, having five on my left foot, that the frequent batliing, paring, and tiling of thelll in no way relieved me, tor montiis I eoiilil not wear boots, and tor ten or twelve days not even shoes. I u ied Allinghatn's Rotterdam Corn Solvent, of which I find yon arc proprie- tor; after using it two days I could wear shoes; iu four days one of ilie Corn?, the most paintul, was enliiely eradicated! By this one I fullered more in particular as it was between my toes. I have in a week alter and sinre, been able to wear boots. Having experienced this benefit it, ei"ht Corns on my own person, and having recommended this Solvem formally patients of mine, who all have been cured, I deem it but just to give yon this testimony, to use it as yoti may think proper; and am, Sir, I your obedient Servant, D'KMDKN, Surgeon Dentist, "ISth March, 1S3(5. 1, Southampton-street, Strand. Sir,—I have great pleasure in bearing witness to the virtues of your Corn Solvent, by the use of a single bottle of which, in the year 18:m, I was perfectly cured of two inveterate Corns, and enabled to walk with ease, which had not been the case for several years; nor have 1 expe- rienced tiie slightest inconvenience from them since.—"Yours, &c.

DIGESTIVE OR DINNER PILLS, For assisting Digestion, correcting Acidity, preventing and removituf Flatulence, Oppression of the Chest, Heartburn, S"aosea, Giddiness, Head-Aches, Disorders of the Stomach, and Bilious Affections. OF all the complaints to which the human frame is liable, few are more distressing, and none wore common, than a disordered state of the stomach, arising from weakness, or derangement of the digestive organs, and attended with flatulence, acidity, pains in the stomach, giddiness, head-ache, and heart- burn. Experience has most satisfactorily proved that these pills are eminently calculated to remove those painful effects, and, by giving a healthy tone and renewed vigour to the digestive powers, prevent their recurrence. Bv taking two or three pills an hour before dinner the process of digestion is greatlv assisted and by the occasional use of them, the stomach will be preserved in a sound and healthy state. As a preventive of severe bilious attacks these pills are particularly recommended: and to persons about to take long voyages, or to undergo a change of climate, they will be found highly useful. As an pfiectuai though gentle aperient, they wilt ever prove a most valuable family medicine; and, as they do not contain any preparation of calomel, no alteration of diet nor confinement to the house is requisite.
