PRINCeSSeS ANNUITY bILl On the order of the day for the third reading of the Princesses Annuity Bill, Mr. TierneY said, he particularly objected to that part of the bill which enacted that the annuity of the Princessi- J should be considered to have commenced OB 1 Sth February last past. The bill proposed to al- ter and amend the 39th of the iing, enabling his Ma- jesty to make pi © visions for his daughters on his de- mise to the extent of 30,000/. per annum, which turn it was now proposed to increase to 36.000/. To this increase of 6000/. he had no objection, but he cer- tainly could not comprehend the necessity or policy of making that provision at the present period. He had been told that the ground for such a measure, was the State of the King, and the time of life to which th" Princesses had arrived. This was a reason which did not satisfy him, and be must believe that there was some other cause kept back, which was veiled in mystery, and which could not meet the public eye.— If it was necessary to make this provision for the Princesses', it certainly became necessary to place their royal brotht rs upon an independent footing, who were solely dependent upon the Prince Regent. The Hon- Gent, then alluded to the number of Lords of the Bed. Chamber, Grooms of the Stole, Equerries, See. em- ployed as attendants on his Majesty, all of whom were in great measure useless, whose income, he thought might be better applied to make provisions for the Princesses than to tiai'tlien the people, al : i period so pregnant wjMi misfortune, with SO enormous a charge as 36,000/. per annum. IIe then adverted to the ne- glect with which the Princess of Wales had been treat- ed ; ber fate had, however, been sealed ; the Right Hon. Gent, who had been her friend and champion, hi'J completely afcWoasd her. Afiatiier person wb• The dejection Jay agrti'ost every date till the day of the King's death.— The jSoini at issue was, whether, during bis life, th: , Pnticfc? ses » Uould have any sepaiate establishment.—. As far ss fie could collcct, Use opini » n of the; House on this point was nearly universal. ( Hear.) It could hardly be supposed that tbe measure was intro- duced without consulting the Princesses theni'selvcs ; and there was a great difference between all the Prin- cesses leaving the^ Queen, and their wishes, though all might not be so disposed, yet, in their turn, occ- ision- ally to lotre Windsor, where the du ies she had to discharge kept their Royal Mother. Nothing was raore distant than the id - l of Jn1 ir deserting her; but only the means, if they oho » • it, of having an establish- ment, should they remove for any time. Mr. WHITEHEAD remarked, thai die Right Hoo. Gent, had taid not one word a'- Oat the Princess of Wales or the Prince* Charlotte of Wales. There was no doubt the Minister had communicated with tltf> ' Princesses; but had he explained to them the state of the civil list, aad of the burthens of the country ? If" he had, would not they, as well as other persons, fed for the condition of their father's subjects J Would not they have naturally said, " if under these circum- stances, under the increasing taxation of the country, no savings cftn be made from the regular and addition- al provisions for the Royal Family, we would decline to occasion this new expense on the public." As to the state of the King, was it true that of the four Grooms three were actually out of the country,-— Admiral Legge, Gen. Campbell, and Sir H. B. Neale. Could it be presumed they were necessity ? Was it true that only an Equerry had attended instead of a Grcom i WtK) was it rtally, tlien, that neglected tk « King The Princesses ought to be paid from tbe civil iist, as the private Secretary ought to be paid out of the Regent's pocket. I have heard, said Mr. Whitbread, that the Queen is about to hold a Dew- ing- room, of course no hopes can now erist of his Majesty's recovery; but in case that Drawing room is held, I would wish to know, is there to be any public appearance of the Princess of Wales ? This is no private concern— the public hare a right to de- mand why the acknowledged consort of their Regent does not appear in public as such— no affectation of delicacy can be permitted to stand in the way of a na- tion's anxiety upon a question of such national import- ance— if any man can satisfy the public upon this to- pic, it is the Right Hon. Gent. They know him to haste been at one time the Zeiloss adviser and devoted adherent to the Princess of Wales. They believe hira to have conscientiously undertaken her defence, to have written her vindication, to have perused that vin- dication, to have published it— that vindication is said to have involved in it an attack upon her Royal Con- sort. ( Hear, hc&' r.) It was known to have been an attack upon his Royal Highness, and the Regent's first, Minister is known to htve been the author of it, and after he h? d published it, after it had been read by one and by 100* it was bought up at an enormous ex- pence, bought up'by the private Secretary to the Hon. Gent. I ask him now, does he retain his former opi- nions of tlie unexceptionable conduct of the Princess of Wales? I ask him if he did not lately in this House solemnly record his confirmation of that opinion, an, if it is now, what it was the other night, I call upoi* him to explain, if he can, his apparent desertion of her just claims, to that respect, notice, provision, and corviderntion due to the undoubted Princess Regent of these realms ?— Rhese are questions, which, as he values Iris own consistency, as he values tlie character and claims ot the Princess, and as he respects the Prince his master, he is bound to answer. Mr. Secretary Ryder said, he hoped his Right Hon. Friend would continue true to the confidence reposed in him, and not be tempted by any threats or attacks to deviate from that proper and respectful si- lence—[_! kar, hear, from the Opposition side of the House.] As to the Drawing- room, it was the Queen's right to hold one if she pleased it— his Majesty, while he lived, was King; and her Majesty, during his life, was Queen of these realms. Mr WHITEHEAD said, he wished now to put the question, whether there had not been a solemn pro- ceeding on the subject of the enquiry, so of ten allud- ed to ; whether a reference had not been made of it to his Majesty's advisers, and whether, in consequene- thereof, the Princess of Wales had not, for a time, been absent from Court.

ATTRiVAl OF A FLAG OF TRUCE. l3y the following letters it will be seen that a Flag. pf 1 ' lift arrived off Dover pesterday morning from Calais, with dispatches from the French Goverment The French officer who brought it was not suffered to land, hut delivered his dispatches to the naval of- ficer at Dover, who immediately carried it to the Port Admiral at Deal, by whom it was sent off to Lord Castlereagh. It came from the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, and is addressed to his Majesty's Secretary rc St* r, f' r For. ' i n Affairs, under cover to the naval Commandant at Deal. j here is little douht that it contains some overture for negociation. Before Bonaparte goes to war against Russia, he invites- us to a negociation, per- haps under t! ip mediation of Austria or some other power. If his overture be not accepted, be will then as he did previously to the war with Prussia, attemp to throw upon us the odium of continuing the war. We request our readers to recollect what are the only terms upon which Bonaparte declares he will make peace, and upon which, we need not say, we can never consent to make peace. They are ( see th^ rer-' rt of the Firnch Minister for Foreign Affairs in March)—- That free ships shall make free goods : And that we shall renounce our system of blockade; in other words, that we shall abandon all our mari- time rights. Our answer will be rrnt off probably to- fnori w by a flag of truce to Calais. Yesterdav the annual dinner of the Female Masonic School, of which the Countess of Lou- don and Moira is the Patroness, was held at Free- nasoii's Tavern, Earl Moira in the Chair. After an etc llent dinner, the objeds of this benevolent institution w « re stated, in a most eloquent and im- pressive speech from the Noble Earl, in which he mwt powerfn'ly awakened the~ feelings of the company in favour of the inteiesting children who had walked in pfocession round the tables in the room, while the gallery was crowded with Ladies. It; * he course of the Noble Earl's speech, he took occasion to say, that perhaps it was the last time lie fchould ever address such a meeting, as it was its intention for ever to tuithdraui from pvH'c life. The tone in wh'ch this declaration was made, and the quick perception of the auditors as to the Cause from which it sprung ( so honourable to the feelings of the Noble Earl himself, but so dis- astrous for his countiy), produced a sympathetic emotion which we have not language to describv- It stunned, and yet it melted the assembly. RIOT3 IN ENGLAND. MACCLEFIEld. APRIL 15.— The streets of this loyal and peaceable Borough were, on Monday last, the scenes of devastation and riot. Early in the foron- vm, Mr. Daniel Rowson, a fador of great business in the town, received a letter from Stockport, threatening the immediate destrudion of his and hi « neighbours' property. Already the rioters h id begun to assemble in the fields aifcyjmpg the tom- and by noon, Coding thpy half sufficient force, to eatiy .' heir deterruica- fioa into tftefl, they siw** e4 u. e Marketplace.-— They proceeded to enquire how potatoes sold, and rot approving the price, began to throw them about the greets? five bags were thus disposed of, when the foremost of ( hem, having a blue ribbon in his hat, was taken into custody and lodged in the common gaol by order of the Magistrates.— The word " rescue !" was given, the doors of the gaol broken, the man set at liberty, and carried in triumph to the Market- place in an instant of time, the mob hallooing and shouting. After a short deliberation, two, apparently the ringleaders; held up a stick— the signal was an- swered by an universal huzza, and the whole body let forward to the p: cmises of Mr. Rowson, in Mill- street. Here they demolished all the win dows, broke the door of the shop, and rolled the cheeses and other articles through the streets.— When the destruction was complete and another shout of tr'umph had succeeded, they took the road through Pickford and Sunderland- streets to the shops of Messrs. John Holland, Simon Mal- kin, Rupert Malkin, Sam. Clowes, Matthias Ma- son, and several others, some of which they com. pletelv gutted, destroying the windows and fur. niture. and were guilty of greater excesses as they proceeded. A company of the Royal Cumberland Militia were mus'ered by beat of drum immediately when the rout began. They followed the meb fr « m street to street without success some tixne, but coming up with them in Mill- street, the riot act was there read by W. Ayton, Esq. one of the Borough Magistrates. The act was repeated in the market- place, without any other effect than further to exasperate the populace. The Magis- trates, who had hoped to appease the tumult by a shew of arms, now saw the necessity of employ- ing force; but, still reluctant to shed blood by the use of the musket, they summoned the Mac- clesfield Troop of Volunteer Cavalry. The ca- valry mustered at 4 p. m. under the command of their Captain, J. S. Daintry, Esq. and marched to the Waters, and from thence on a hand gallop to the factory of Messrs Goodall and Birchinall, whither the mob proceeded. The latter did not wait the charge, but crossed the river in two di- rections to the fields. A part aook the way to Beach, the residence of C. Wood, Esq. the main body fled to a track rf waste land, that has long been the depository of the town rubbish, and made - a stand here, concciving themselves inaccessible to cavalry. The cavalry halted in front ef the jitain body, and the Magistrates parleyed with them to no effect for tear half an hour. Meanwhile the othqr division attacked Mr. Wood's residence, breaking the windows and win- « tow- irarnes, bursting the doors, and threatening the life of Mr. Wood. The work of destruflion v, as not finished when the Magistrates received information of. it, and a part of the horse were dis- patched to rout the assailants. The main troop, * rith the Cumberland Militia, speedily followed ; the rioters were surprised, and again retreating precipitately across the river, effeded a jundion witk their fellows in the fields adjoining the Man- cbci er. road. The cavalry now broke in upon them ; immediate overthrow and dispersion fol. lowed • several of the ringleaders were seized, aud the populate ran with loud ictearns and great confusion in'o the town. Ia less ibr. c tea r.; uiy; « an area of one hundred, acres was cleared, the ca- valry leaping hedges and walls in their progress, and driving all before then}, amidst a storm of ston'es and brick- bats. The prisoners, as thev j came in, were delivered over to thj; Cumberland Militia, and marched under escort to the Town- Hall, where they remained strongly guarded. ' The fields having been cleared, the mob re- paired to the market place, and adjoining streets, threatening rescue, and growing more outrageous as the night advanced. The cavalry having dis- mounted for refreshment, again assembled at se- ven, an'd the mob remaining deaf tothe persnasion ot the Magistrates, orders were given to clear the streets. This was the most perilous part of the service; the rioters clung to the walls, and took refuge in the numerous alleys, throwing stones and bricks from thence with surer aim, and to the great annoyance of the troops. At length, how- ever, they were driven from these also, and re- duced to their last stand in the Old Church- yard: the key of the great gates being piocured, thsy dispersed with precipitation. The nightly patrole of the town, 300 in ntim- . ber, were now collected together, and proceeded | to search the inns and lodging- houses, taking ' many into custody for the night, and dismissing tlie more peaceable to their respective homes.— By tire hour of 11, P. M- the town was quiet; the cavalry, however, continued on duty until two, and a patrol ® during the night. On the morning of Tuesday a troop of the Greys arrived from Stockport. The populace again assembled, more perhaps- from curiosity to learn ths fate of the prisoners, than from any hostile motive. The Magistrates,. however, ap- prehending a rescue, had a strong patrole of ca- valry and infantry in the Market- place, during the taking of examinations previous to commitment. The examinations having finished about two, ( P. M. the mittimus of three offenders were made out, and they weie dispatched in chaises under a | strong escort to the Castle at Chester, to taka j their trial at the September Assize. The names I of the prisoners committed are;— William Stubbs, I John Livesey, and John Jackson- No sufficient ! evidence appearing against the remainder, they were discharged on their recognizances. The mob from this time began to decrease; about seven o'clock the Greys cleared the streets, and from that time we are happy to say, the peace of the town has not been disturbed. We are now under the painful necessity of re- cording the accidents which occurred. Of the Macclesfield cavalry, two members were severely hurt: Mr. Higginbotham, an Alderman of the Borough, had his arm broken, and Mr. Grims- ditch, Solicitor, received several contusions 011 the head ; many others were struck violently, but none dangerously wounded. Of the rioters, one per. son, a woman, was unfortunately trampled on and her aim broken; the prisoner Stubbs, also receiv- ed a deep gash in the head, when in the ait of violently assaulting Mr. Grimsditch.

Tuesday, in compliance with a requisition to that- effect, a meeting of the Bar of the North West Cir- cuit was held at the Rolls Court, Dublin. The ob- ject of the meeting was to pionounce an opinion upon a transaction which had been published in the news- papers by Mr. Verner Moore, Barrister, and which, among other matters, imported that Mr Baron M'Clel- land had, on the last assizes of Omagh, in a particular instance, deported himself towards a member of the Bar, in a maimer somewhat unusual. The Gentle- men of the North West Bar, after a discussion upon the subject, did hot think it expedient, at present, to pass any opinion on the circumstance, as it was inter- woven with other matters, which it was the intention of a party concerned to submit to Parliament, as we were given to understand.—• Hid: STOPPAGE OF THE DISTILLERIES.

The object of the Flag of Truce, the arrival of which we announced yesterday, was, as we conjectured, to convey to our Government an overture for peace. The precise nature of the propositions has not transpired ; they were sent in the direct" form'of a dispatch from the . French Minister of External Relations, Hugues B. Ma- ret, Duke of Baasano, late Bonaparte's State Se- cretary, to his Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. This dispatch, being immedi- ately forwarded TO town, was received by Lord Castlereagh on Sunday, when a Cabinet Council sat upon the subject; and yesterday the dispatch, together with the rtsulVof the Council; was laid before the Prises Urgent.

The arrival in London of Dispatches from the French Government, ly a Flag of Truce, has na- turally excited a considerable degree of interest, - and according to all accounts, these Dispatches contain pacific overtures from BONAPARTE ad. dressed to the British Government; but nothing further was permitted to transpire on the subjefi. We would hope, however, if proposals are really made by France, with the sincere and anxious de- sire of putting a permanent stop to the calamities of war, that Ministers will lose no opportunity of meeting the proposition with an equal desire of obtaining for Europe a blessing of such great magnitude, and which, at the present period, is so imperiously necessary, We regret to find that violent disturbances con- tinue to agitate the manufaifluring distrids in England, arising chiefly from the distresses occa- sioned by the stagnation of tiade. The depreda- tions committed by the misguided rioters, are CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Lord DONOUGHMORE presented a general Pernio from the Catholics of Ireland, praying relief from the legal disabilities under which they labour, aud also other petitions to the same pur- pose from the Catholics of Cork, Kildare, and Kilkenny. Earl GREY presented a general petition to the I ke effefl, from the Catholics, of England, and another petition to the like effect, from the northern counties of England, signed by Protestants and Catholics, and other Dissenters from the estah. lished Church ; and also other petitions from Hull, Sheffield, Manchester, and Berwick- upon- Tweed. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented seven Petitions to the like effefl; 5 of those from Exe- ter, Halifax, Taunton, and other places^ and 2 from Protest ill's in h eland, praying for the removal of those restriflions horn their Catholic fellow- sub- je& s.

Gentleman the trouble, by bringing in a bill next day himself on the. subjedh Mr. FITZGERALD replied, that as he thought. hii Petition spoke tlf sense of a, decided majority of the P- ifestant prooerty in Ireland, both landed and commercial. • It did not, indeed, contain the names of all who were friendly to its; principle, partly because it did not demand any specific con- dition from the Catholics, and partly on account of ihe late disturbances in Ireland. Against this petition all the influence, which ^ Government could use had been " notoriously'and indecently u. ed.— ( No, no, from Mr. IV• Pole). Since he was defied he would prove it. The important office of She- riff had been interfered with. . Tbe Gentleman who was to hsffe been Sheriff in the ensuing year, : ad been set aside merely bScause the person who recommended him'had signed the Protestant Pe- tition: individuals in public situations had been indirc31y thieatened yvith the loss of office, if they affijed their sigyaturas ; and the uiost viwleot inienaces were employed against tenants of Go. vernme'nt to terrify theth from signing, with the hope of defeating a petition which afforded so strong a proof of the extending liberality of the country. There was one circumstance which gave him peculiar pleasure— it was, that the most numerous signatures came from the North " of Ire. Und, a part formerly particularly hostile to the Catholic claims: but which now, he was happy to say, was converted to a more enlarged way of hinking. The petition might have obtained many more signatures if there had been any canvassing for the purpose. It had hf en, however, . sigtied bt , • J'.'. ji>. : 4( Miiprieiors'in Yretarid; [ j and he conceived himself justified in saying, that it spoke the decided sense " f the greater part of the Protestant property of Ireland. ' Mr. W. POLE did not mean to deny the as- sertion of the Right Hon. Gentleman, but he de- clared that it was the very first time he had ever j heard it stated that the great majority of the Pro- 1 testants of Iseland were in favour of the Catholic claims. He was sure that the Irish. Government ; had not used . any undue influence, or any influ- ence at all, to prevent the Protestants from sign- ; ing the petition, and that the Duke of Richfnond ,'; would never have lent himself to such a business. ; He had never before heard that which had been ! asserted tonight as to the appointment of a Sherff on those principles. Mr"! FITZGERALD stated, in an erplana- ' tion, that a Gentleman had been designated as t Sheriff of the county of Carlow; but upon his j signing th » Brotestant Petition, another had been j appointed in his place. He knew, and Could ; prove many instances, " where individuals, hold- i • ng public situations, had been deteried by me- naces from signing th. e petition. Mr. POLE said, that he believed that the Sheriff of the county of Carlow was appointed, 1 as is usually done, on the recommendation of a i person high in office, whom Government usually consulted on that occasion, to know the charac- ters of the different Gentlemen proposed. Doflor DUIGENAN said, that this was a smuggled Petition, of which no fair notice was given to the Protestants at large. He believed that it had not been signed by an hundredth part of the property, or a thousandth part of the num- bers of the Protestants of Ireland. He himself never had seen the Petition. Mr. PARNELL wondered how the learned Doiffor could make so positive an assertion about the signatures to a Petition, which he had never ? een. The names, however, of the petitioners were priming, and it would be then seen what rank they' bore among the Protestant proprietors. Sir GEORGE HILL said, that to his know, ledge there was no interference of Government to check petitioning in the part of the country from which he came. He believed that no Gentleman was justified in stating to the House so confidently, that the majority of the Protestants of property were favourable to the Catholic Claims. He be- lieved that in the province of Ulster they were generally hot favourable; but if Parliament ! thought proper to gran, them, they would bend ! td the- decision of the Legislature. Mr J3UTCHINSO!> f contended, lhat as far as certain town in the North of Ireland, terUn Minister was the. onfy person that , . the Petition; and tt> e eonVrjntoce . i* ss, thr ? was deserted, tqrned out of his change, auJ called a Judas liy* his congregation.

The regiment is encamped under the brow of a hill, in the ad- var. ee of the army employed— the Frenchmen, however, have not as yet fonnd ns out, nor have they got the range of us; as although tve are close to them, they have thrown a few shot, with- j out doing any damage. The entrenchments get " on eajremelf well; and to- morrow morning it is etpe& cd four batteries of 2t- ponnders, will be ready to open on them ; their fire on the entrench- ment* has been very heavy, Jind the roar of caa- non and musketry is incessant. We have got so close to them with parallels that little mischief is done by round shot— they are throwing a number of shells and grape. Our brave fellows, however, continue to work away like- Trrjans- r- the duty is very severe.— six hours off and six hours on, in the trendies. The French made a sortie yesterday, with about 2000 infantry and caralry ; they suc> ceeded in getting close to the working parties, before they were even aware of it, but were, how- ever, driven back with considerable loss. Our loss is supposed to be about ninety." The following eitraft from Captain Stothert's Narrative, as presenting a brief history of Merida, I General Hill's station at the present moment, will prove interesting to many of our readers " On the( 24ut of August, 1809, after a most fa'iguing march of six leagues, under a burning sun, Lieutenant- General Sherbrooke's division ar- rived in the city of Merida, and crossing the an- cicnt Roman bridge of 60 arches, which was con- strained by Augustus Caesar, 28 years before Christ, the troops hotted on the south bank of the Guadiana. " Merida was once a considerable Roman sta and there still eiist many noble reliques of tton, antiquity, in tolerable preservation. The gates to the temple of Mars, one of the first edifies of which the curiosity of a stranger, particularly of a military man, it direfled, alone remains entire, and forms the entrance to a modern church. Un- der the inscription Marti twriim fltelln t* culi, is proposed War. H « asked of the " House, what]! new cause of war is there, that has not existed for " many years ? What since Mr. Madison's acces- sion to the chief magistracy ? What since Mr. Munroe's return from London ? Why is the na. tion to be dragged from her peaceful mooriag, into the tempestuous sea of blood ? The idea of war is a wanton one. It is enough to call down upon us the cha< tenings of that Being, who ruTts the universe. It is trtie we experience evils, and what nation or individual is exempt from evils 2 Notwithstanding this, we are the happiest people under the sun. « ' He said, his heart sickens at the prospect be- fore us. We Cannot divine or penetrate the thick veil which hides the future, but we may j « dge correilly as to the past. If we were to go around tothefaimer, the planter, or the tnanufaflurcr, what would either of them say, if we were to ask them which they would prefer, a state of war for eighteen months, a part of oOr citizens bleeding upon the plains of Abraham, an dtcise, a salt tax, and other odious tares— or the peace which we have hid, with the privilege we have enjoyed of selling, at a generous price, our wheat and other productions, to feed the armies who are contending upon the bloody arena of the Peninsula. We have, indeed, had privations. The most severe ones are, however, of our own inflifling. Our Treasury, to be sure, is empty j but it is the con- sequence of our own ails. Your remedy is to re- peal your Non- Importation Afl, and put the two belligerents upon an equal footing in faift— not in woids only, but in deeds. If the spirit we have manifested is reprehensible in an individual, how much more so in a nation ? Will you go to war in a sullen manner— half- ashamed— half- reluflant! The public pulse, I assure you, must be wrought up with some other tune, before the country will be ripe for war. " If tinder the wisdom and virtue which have controlled cur destinies for 20 years, we have not been obliged to enter into war— if, under Mr. Jefferson, the idol of one party— if under Mr. Adams, the idol of another— and if, under Mr. Washington, the idal cf both, we have avoided it, I pray you to consider, nnder what auspices we engage in it now '— What is yemr chance ? Being the weak party, in case of pacification between England and France,' are you sure, if you should conquer Canada, that you will not be obliged to relinquish it to Ejigland, and the Floridas to France ?— Or will you be so unwise, as to confide it tke duration of the life of the French Emperor, or what is more, attach yourselves to his and be numbered among what he calls his Allies > He felt consoled, that he had not varied his epi- » ion upon the state of our affairs for several years. He was satisfied with his own consistency. The forebodings, he had made some years since, are verified. He said, he had not come to the House this morning to say much, but to enter his pro test against the Bill. As to taxes, he said, we might vote ior them in shoals, but the people would not submit to .{ hem long. « He did not mean, that they would rebel against them? but, he thanked Gen, they were the law pivers of the country, and they will soon cscteite their power a ad rejeal the law." lam nan Marti sacrum sed Jtsu Christi cmsetratwn. " At a short distance from the scite of tha temple, three antique Roman altars, which were dag up about a century ago, are placed one above another, and form a handsome pedestal, surmount- ed by the statue of a Spanish king. " The area of the temple pf Diana is now filled by a modem building; but the columns, with most of their capitals, remain in a peifefl statp, and are built into the walls of the house, still, hoWever, in such a way, as to leave them fully expojed to view. One window of exquisite beauty, has been carefully preserved. " The superb acpiedufl, built by the Romans, is now in ruini; but several arches are still stand- ing, and convey to the inind of a speflator, a to- lerably just conception of its former magnificence. " Beyond the present extent of Merida, are two amphitheatres j the largest of which is supposed to hare been the Naumachia. It seems more pro- bable however, that the exhibition of sea fights must have taken place cm an island near the bridge, where are the remains of some considerable works. The lester amphitheatre has been converted by the Spaniards, iuto a Plaza di Toros, for which purpose, the arena is now inclosed. " In front of the Corregidot's house, in the square, are seven beautiful columns of white mar- ble, supposed to have belonged to a Roman tem- ple. In the street, a little beyond, is an arch of prodigious magnitude, which originally formed one of the entrances of the city, and was proba- bly a memorial of some great viftory. Amongjt the ruins of an old house, prostrate on the ground, negleAed, lay a colossal ctatue of Diana, as a vestal t tlie head and arms were gone, but the drapery of the figure was remarkably fine, and be- spoke the merit of the artist. In the principal court of the ancient Moorish castle, is the bath of Diada, to which the descent is by a passage < Sf 5< i steps A most beautiful pilastre of the composite order was placed at the antrance. " A little beyond the castle, are the remains of some buildings, which, from their situation and | appearance, are conjcffured to have teen the pub. lie baths of the Romans. M About a mile from the city, and near to the modern aquedufl, is the circus where the chartot races were held. By the situation of tke Roman gate, under which the high road from Madrid passes, and the ruins of the walls, an idea may be formed of the ancient boundaries of this city, which must have been of great extent. Indeed, tradi- tion says, that Merida contained 150,000 inhabi- tants." BARON GERAMB. tent. children, the heritage of uiy father! ! for rhi « cause did I freely lavish my wraith.

A certificate is ta be obtained by each per- manent serjsant, trumpeter, drummer, and bugle- man, from a field officer in the garrison that thejr had so attended, and had been regularly drilled and instructed j and should the field officer con- sider them to be fully qualified in less time than 30 days, he will be instrufled through the Com- compound of vanity, falsehood, and malignity throughout, and would, indeed, be wholly unwor-]] thy of public attention, if the Impostor had not so much notice, and if a perusal of it wete likely to guard our countrymen against other ] foreign adventurers who obtrude among - us with [ wise they must remaipi far the SO days complete, III. In the course of four months from the promulgation of this order, a general inspection of permanent serjeants, trumpeters, drummers, and buglemeit will take place by the inspecting geld offiscrs of Yeomanry, who are to report t) ie We noticed the deip » > r4te attack made hy nartvof rioters, on the dressing. mil! of Mr. Cart- | wright, at Rawford, which ended in the repulse j of the misguided assailants, who left two of thnit nnrffH'r ' sOttaBy wou. id*.) brhind them. Tne following additional particulars are taken from Tht Leedt Mercury of Saturday last:— « ' On the cessation of the firing, the ear* of the guards V.' ere assailed with the cries of two unfortunate men, weltering in their blood, and writhing under the torture of mortal wounds:—" For God's sake," cried one of them, " shoot me— put me out of my misery!"—" Oh!" cried the oth » r, " help! help!— I know all, and I will tell all."— On the arrival of a detachment of the Queen's Bays, which took place about an hour after the attack commenced, these ill- fated men were removed on litters from the field to the Star Inn, at Robert- town, and medicinal aid was called in with all possible dispatch. One of them proved 10 be a cropper, of the name of Sam. H trtley, formerly in the employment of Mr. Cartwripht; a fine- looking young unmarried man, about 24 years of age, and a private in the Halifax Local Milkja, in which regiment Mr. Gartwrigbt is a Captain. The other was J. Booth, a youth, about 19 years of age, son of a Clergyman in Craven, and an ap- prentice to Mr. Wright, of Huddersfield, tinner. Hartley had receive^ a shot in the breast, appa- rently while making a blow at some part of the mill, which, passing through the body, lodged in beneath the skin at the left shoulder, from whence it was extrafted, with a portion of the bone. In this situation he languished till about three o'clock on Monday morping, when he expired. Booth* s wound was in bis leg, which was shattered almost to atoms; it was found necessary that he should submit to have the leg amputated, but owing to the extreme loss of blood before the Surgeons ar- rived, spasms came on during the operation, and he died about six o'clock on Stwiday morning j having previously observed, that if he should re- j cover, " he would never be brought into such a scrape again." It was observed that rve'uher of these vtflims of lawless violence manifested aoy ij sense of religion. On Monday a Coroner's Inquest assembled upon the dead bodies, and returned a verdidt of— Justi- j fiable Homicide. None of the wounded men, ex- ;. cept Hartley and Booth, have yet been discovered, ii On the morning after the engagement, a number of hammers, axes, false keys, and pick- locks, with two masks, a powder- horn, and a bullet- mould, were found upon the field, which were stained in several places with blood; and it is evideat that many others, besides those left on the field, were wounded, as traces of gore were distiaflly marked in almost every direfHoa, and irt- one place to the distance of four miles. The assailants have much reason to rejoice that they did not succeed in en- tering the building, for we speak from our own observation when we say that had they effetfed an entrance, the death of vast numbers of them from a raking fire which they could neither have returned nor controlled, would hava been inevi-! table. It is unnecessary to speak of the heroism ! of the little band that guarded these premises;' there is not perhaps upon record a more distin- guished instance of manly courage and cool intre- pidity ; but it may be proper to add, that though the assailants exceeded a hundred, the ntlmber op. posed tathem was very inconsiderable, and of that number One of the military conduced himself in so unsoldierlike a manner, that he was on the fol- lowing morning placed in confinement, and now awaits the issue ef a Regimental Court Martyl."

In the country, and wherevur familie- make their own bread, this- expedient and practice, for the sake of some ecomw my in the expenditure ot wheaten llour, may be useful. It is doubted whether the nutrition of wheaten flour is exhibited in its best form and greatest extent in the present mode ofbread- ffl. il- ing; and it has been suggested, as sn improver merit, to boil sem; part of the flour in the Water with which the bread is mixed and uiadtf. A Jew Pedlar, being met by two gentlerasa, natives of Wales, one of them addressed him irj the following mannerWell, Moses, what will you give me for a guinea ?" The Israelite,, after looking significantly at each, drew from one of thf- m an assurance, that be and his friend were, i bona jitte, men of business ; upon which the Jew very frankly offered, in exchange for each guinea, that might be produced, one pound twelve. The satirical negociator acceded to the terms, and in- tent upon exposing poor Srr. ouch, immediately pro- duced' his guinea, for which he received in ex- change a one pound note— and tvitlvs penny pieces * A gentleman who had acquired a large fortune fn the tobacco trade, retired to a handsome resi- dence at Lewisbam, and died there. His widow and executrix found, to her great amazement, upon op- n- ing hb will, that he had directed his body to be burled in his own orchard, wrapped in a blanket, without any of the usual religious ceremonies ; and that his favourite dog, alter his natural decease, should be deposited in the sam* grave. The lady seems to have been a sagacious wife, and ri> have been a good hand as a quibble* She truly complied with the eccentric wishes, of ber husband ; but as the old gentleman had ne- glected to say his body must remain in the or- chard, she had it removed, and conveyed in a handsome coffin to the church- yard, where the parish priest performed the burial rites. A curious paper has been read by Dr. Herschel'^ at the Royal Society. Dr. H. in observing the Comet in Odlober last, noticed a highly luminotis appearance near the centre of its head, which astronomers would call its nucleus*.— This lumin- ous disk, however, he found to deviate considet- ' ably from the centre, and at one time brighter than another. This led him to be more particu- lar in his observations, with longer' telescopes and, I higher magnifying powers ;, these he varied from 7 to 10 and 20 feet, with, magnifiers up to 600-, when he distinctly discovered it to be a planetary body, which appeared so bright in the centre of the Comet, and ihat it was evidently surrounded by a Cometic atmosphere.
