DERBYSHIRE.

The Buxton charity produced 2501. last year, and assisted and relieved three hundred patients.

So large a concourse of people were never collected together in Derby as were assembled to witness the ascent of Mr. Wilkes's balloon on Monday, Sept. 20th. From nine o'clock in the morning till twelve, the streets of Derby and the various roads were crowded with passengers. The process of filling went on for a short time in the best manner, and the gas continued to be produced by the sulphuric acid and zinc with such rapidity, as to endanger the bursting of the apparatus. The balloon filled to a certain point, and then continued stationary, in consequence of its being full of small holes, which let out the gas as fast as it was generated. The commmittee had been at much trouble, for three days preceding, to cover every hole which could be found, so that the balloon seemed sufficiently air-tight, but when they came to fill it with the gas, many rents and fis. sures were observed, which rendered the filling impracticable, and the process was then discontinued. The committee then came forwards and assured the spectators, as a recompence for their disappointment, that they would endeavour to bring Mr. Sadler to the town with his balloon, and

that he should ascend without any more expense to them. The people appeared to be perfectly satisfied with this declaration, and although so great a number of persons were collected together, they began to disperse quietly, and every thing would have terminated peaceably, had not a few individuals excited a disposition to tear the balloon in pieces, which was properly quelled by the dragoons who were present; but this called down the vengeance of the people upon them, although they had only done their daty, and were not at all instrumental in the disappointment. No person was materially hurt, and this is to be attributed to the good temper and address displayed by the Scots Greys. It appears, however, that Mr. Sadler and the committee have been unable to agree on terms, and Mr. S. proposes to ascend from Nottingham.

WARWICKSHIRE.

The Philanthropic Mr. Webb, after viewing the internal part of the Blue Coat Chanity School at Birmingham, left 20 guineas for the use of that institution. On his arrival, next day, in Coventry, he gave to different charities 104.-He also left the debtors in Leicester County Gaol, 10l.;

as one of his annual charities.

The artisans of Birmingham, have presented their public-spirited High Bailiff, T. ATTWOOD, ESQ. with a silver cup, value 200 guineas, in testimony of his exertions for the repeal of the East India Monopoly, and of his general zeal in the promotion of their trade and interests. Never was testimony of patriotic worth and public gratitude more unequivocal, than that af forded by this gift. If Mr. Attwood were honored by a wise sovereign with a peerage, the patent of nobility would never be more

creditable to his memory than the following address on presenting the спр:

SIR, The Artizans in Birmingham, in whose name I have now the honor of addressing you,respectfully request your acceptance of this piece of plate-the lasting memorial of their gratitude for your invaluable services in their behalf.-Looking back, sir, to the period, when (from the unhappy differences amongst the nations who had formerly cultivated and enjoyed a commercial intercourse with each other,) the trade of this country was depressed beyond all former example;-they cannot forget, that amidst all the despondency consequent upon a loss of employment, a ray of hope emanated from your exertions, and those of your respected colleagues-a hope that pierced through the gloom which spread around their habitations, and opened to their view the prospect of better times in the restoration of trade to its accustomed channels, and in the attainment of new and extensive markets for British manufacture.-Although, sir, your benevolent wishes were not realized to their full extent, it is a conviction too deeply impressed for time ever to efface from the memory of the artizans of Birmingham, that if success were solely dependent upon the efforts made to obtain it, Great Britain would, at this moment, be in the enjoyment of all the blessings of commercial prosperity-the return of which, the artizans can now hope for, only through the medium of an honorable and lasting peace. I present you with this, sir, as an offering at the shrine of ardent patriotism; and I persuade myself, that, as it was the creation of native gratitude, it will not be the less acceptable for being the production of native talent and ingenuity. That you may long live, in the enjoyment of health and happiness, to do and to receive honor, is the most sincere wish of the numerous body whom I represent-the ARTIZANS OF BIR

MINGHAM,

Mr. Attwood's reply to this address was affecting, eloquent, and manly. We regret that we have not room to give it entire, but the three following paragraphs will serve as a specimen of the whole.

Fellow Townsmen-I have deeply sympathized with you, in the deplorable situation of trade. It has occupied my thoughts day and night. In the midst of all the painful circumstances of the times, it has, however, been to me a subject of great satisfaction, to see the inhabitants of Birmingham bearing up manfully against their sufferings, and, instead of alienating their hearts from their neighbours and their friends, looking only for the origin of their sufferings into those deep political causes, which affect the happiness of nations. Reflection and knowledge, which too frequently desert the palaces of Kings, have descended into the workshops of Birmingham, and have intro

duced

duced a degree of judgment, and of patient and enlightened fortitude, which would do honor to higher stations.-Thus Birmingham is repaying to society the errors of her former policy. Thus, in Birmingham, the proper causes of all our sufferings are properly understood. A baleful and disastrous war, which the town of Birmingham was the first to call 'for and demand, has, it is true, exalted the glory of the English name, but it has almost destroyed the domestic happiness of England! England was happy. England thirsted for change, and a melancholy change she has found. Let us profit by the lessons of experience. Let us inculcate upon our children, that Peace is the greatest blessing of life, and that War is the scourge of nations.-But, Fellow, Townsmen-although I am not called upon to fight your battles, yet I will watch over your interest. This peaceful memorial shall for ever remind me of those powerful bonds which bind me to my country and to my native place. It is far dearer in my eyes than if it were the prostituted gift of kings. It shall accompany me to the end of my days, the brightest ornament of my life. It shail descend to my children, the best legacy I can leave them. When you and I are mouldered in the dust, it shall remain a sacred pledge between our families; and if ever the day of trial comes, if ever tyrants shall attempt the liberties of England, my children shall look upon the legacy of their father, and all the selfish affections shall wither in their hearts, and, emulating the conduct of those noble Englishmen, the Hampdens and Sidneys of our history, they shall devote their hearts and their souls on the altars of liberty, and die in defence of the rights of their country.
