bnrgli. His knowledge of the mathe- 

 matics and learned languages was exten- 

 sive, besides a considerable acquaintance 

 with provincial tongnes. He had seen 

 many vicissitudes both in this and the 

 other hemisphere, and filled situations of 

 distinction with honour and credit. 

 Thonp;h men in general are formed for 

 particular otfices and functions in life, 

 yet to the honour of Thomas Carruthers 

 be it said, that snch was the capacious- 

 ness of his mind that he readily adapted 

 it to all occurrence. Modest and bene- 

 volent, he endeared hiaiself to all who 

 knew hi:n; and, free from ostentation 

 and severity of manners, he possessed, 

 in an elevated degree, those social and 

 Christian virtues which mark at once the 

 scholar and the gentleman.

The greater part of the manufacturing 

 towns of this county, lately petitioned 

 the House of Commons against the wool- 

 tax. A proposal was made by the 

 government, in consequence, that " the 

 petitioners should recommend to parlia- 

 ment the repeal of the tax, provided 

 English wool was allowed to be export- 

 ed, deity free." General meetings were 

 lield to consider this proposal; and reso- 

 lutions and further petitions were agreed 

 to.

A petition to the House of Commons 

 was lately agreed to at Liverpool, and 

 numerously signed, praying that the 

 House would take into consideration 

 the mode of forming Juries in England, 

 with a view of remedying the evils 

 which attached to the system. The 

 petitioners complained that great in- 

 justice arose from the circumstance of 

 a particular class of persons only being 

 summoned to serve on Grand Juries. 

 In consequence of this mode, the Grand 

 Jury of Lancaster had become a sort of 

 standing Jury, like the revolutionary 

 juries in France, the same names being 

 continually placed on the panels. The 

 petitioners attributed the failure of jus- 

 tice in the trials of the Manchester 

 Yeomanry mainly to the manner in which 

 the Grand Jury of Lancashire was con- 

 vened. 



On Wednesday, in Whitsun-week, the

 abstain from animal food and intoxicating 

 liquor, sat down to an agreeable ami

 fruits of various kinds, lemonade, &c. 

 and spent the evening in the highest state 

 <»f enjoyment.
