The Grand Miscel- laneous Concert at the. Shire- ITall, in the evening, attracted a highly respectable audience. On Wed- nesday morning, at the Cathedral, the Messiah was iperformed, before a crowded audience, with a de- gree of excellence not to be surpassed. The Choruses were very fine, and the Grand Chorus at the conclu- sion was extremely full and forcible. In the evening, the New Shire Hall was so completely crowded that many persons of the first respectability were obliged to stand during the whoie of the performance. The Scots' Air, Tweed Side," harmonised by Dr. Clarke, was rapturously encored. The Overtures and Sym- phony were much admired, and the whole perform- ance passed off in a very fine stvle. On Thursday morning, at the Cathedral, a Grand Selection of Sacred Music was performed, which introduced a new pieceThe Crucifixion'''' composed by Dr. Whit- feld, the Conductor, which was extremely well re- ceived and reflected the highest credit upon tlie Author. Thursday evening, the Concert attracted a very numerous company; Mr. Lindley displayed j great skill in his Corieeriante, and elicited rapturous j applause. A New Glee, sung by Miss Stephens, i Messrs. Ivnyvett, Vaughan, and Bellamy, with several j other songs, were deservedly encored, and the whole of the performances closed with the national Anthem i of 41 God save the King" in the grandest . style. Tbe band which, was very effective was led byMr. Cramer, ' with, his usual ability. Miss Stephens, Mrs. Salmon, I and Miss Travis, exerted their utmost powers, par- ! tieularly on the last evening; Mr. Vaughan, Mr.! Bel I ann, Mr. RolJe, and Mr. Kuyvett alike distin- j guished themselves. The Instrumental Performers j were also equally eminent, whilst the skill displayed ! hy Dr. Whitfeld in the selection and the talent evinced by his compositions, drew forth the most i unqualified approbation ; and it would be injustice i not to state that the company evinced the utmost gratification at the general excellence of the arrange- ments, and the polite, attention of the Stewards. The Collections weie as follows: Those Gentlemen who are not already on the List, are requested to signify their Intentions to either of the Presidents, or leave their Names at the Raven Hotel.

Our market was well supplied with Wheat to- day from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, aud early in the morning some few sales were made of picked samples of new at a small advance on last Monday's prices, hut tbe demand was far from brisk, and par- ticularly towards the close of the market, when fine runs from the ahove counties were disposed of at the prices of this day se'nuight, but old Wheat goes off very slowly, although offered at low prices. Fine new Barley is full is. per quarter dearer, and what appeared sold readily at that advance ; but there is scarcely any demand for old Barley, except for grind . ing, at from 18s. to 2ls. per quarter.

EDITOR,— Having, on twosuceessive Sabbaths in the autumn of 1816, directed my late servant, J. OAKLEY, to visit the Public Houses in this village, during Divine Service, I was induced, in consequence of his report, to summon the keepers ofthe Red Lion and of the Seven Stars, to answer to the charge of permitting Tippling in their respective houses on both those days. Desirous, however, of making'he legal cognizance of such misconduct as impressive and as generally know n as possible, I declined hearing either of the j i cases until the time appointed for tbe renewal of their , annual Licenses; when it was my wish and purpose j water is thought to have added more than 500 Beasts to this day's market.

Several accidents occurred al these Races, occa- sioned by horses running away with carriages, the upsetting of gigs, & c.; but we are happy to learn none of them w ere attended w ith fatal consequences. Among the more serious injuries we are sorry to mime that of Mr. Francis Pnrden, jUn. who, in endeavouring to extricate himself from a carriage, the horses of which were at full speed without a driver, fell from the dickey ; the wheels went over him aud bruised him very severely. Among the various occurrences during these Races, we have to notice an assault made upon Mr. Mytton and Mr. Betty ( the celebrated Roseius). These gentlemen were walking in the street opposite the George Inn about one o'clock on Wednesday morning, when four insolent fellows hustled and insulted ihem in various ways. Mr. Mytton's hat was knocked off, and one of the men snatched Mr. Betty's watch out of the fob, but having a safety chain attached to it the villain failed in his object. Mr. M. seized oue of the men and held him until the patrole came, when he was conveyed to the gaol; the others effected their escape. J. W. Russell, Fsq. and J. Mytton, Esq. are appoinied Stewards for the next Races. CHESTER CIRCUIT.— It is stated, lhat Barons Wood and Graham are about to retire, and that the HoiV. Charles Warren, Chief Justice of Ihis Circuit, and Sir Robert Gilford, are to he elevated to the Exchequer Bench.— The expected vacancy of thc Chief Justiceship of Chester, rumour already says, will be filled up by Mr. Serjeant Cross, whose long connection with the circuit renders him emi- nently qualified to fill so important an oflicc. However, nothing certain is, as yet, known. trates. With that view I repaired, on the 10th of Septem- ber, 1810, to the accustomed place of Licensing, where 1 waited in vain for tlieir arrival from eleven o'clock till nearly one -. at which time being informed that, of the three other Magistrates expected, two would certainly not come, and that the attendance of the third was extremely doubtful, 1 found myself reduced to the alternative— either of dismissing the charge ahove alluded to unnoticed, or of deciding on its merits bv my own unassisted judgment. 1 chose The latter; and, on the evidence of the above- named person ( evidence to my own mind both then and now completely satisfactory), fined the keeper of the Red Lion public house iu the penalty of two convictions, and the keeper of the Seven Stars in that of one. Some time in the Spring of 1818, a great concourse of people having proceeded from a coek figbtiilg in this village to the above- mentioned Red l. ion public house, 1 desired the san e servant to accompany me thither, thai I might ( through his better acquaint- ance wilh the neighbouring population) be enabled to identify individually some part of the disorderly company there assembled. In consequence of this attendance he was shortly afterwards ( hy another Magistrate) examined upon oalli, in support of a charge preferred by me against the ostensible keeper of the Red Lion : hut to the forbearing and even reluctant manner in which bis testimony was, on that occasion, given, I can myself bear w itness. These instances excepted, I am perfectly uncon- scious of having ever employed this person on the same or any similar errand ; or of having at any time either sought'or received from him information of any kind at all affecting the mnral character or conduct uf any Innkeeper or other individual whatever. After this plain and most deliberate statement, it is needless for me lo express the seniinieut naturally excited in my mind by the following assertion of the Rev. 11. Harrison, contained in his printed Letter of the 27th ult.: viz. " that he ( John Oakley) commenced " his career as a Spy and Informer against" the Publicans a! the time when he lived with C. PETERS.

SIR,— The recent and sudden demise of the CAMBRO- BRITON at so immature a period of its existence cannot fail to have been a matter of sur- prise to some, while to a few, it is not improbable, it may have been also a cause of regret. On this account I feel it in some measure incumbent upon me ! to supply now that explanation, which ought, more i propeily, perhaps, to bave preceded the event fo j whi. c; h it relates. Yet, I must not be misunderstood j to discharge this presumed duty from any vain j not, ion as fo the anxiety of the public on the occa- I sion, bnt merely froin a desire to satisfy those few ' friends, whose patronage of my unambitious lubours lias every claim on my gratitude. When the CAMBRO- BRITON was first undertaken by me, it was, f am willing IO admit, under the influence of feelings widely different from those which dictate these observations. Seduced bv the ardour of my own attachment to the cause of our national literature, and bv a too easy credulity in a corresponding feeling on the part of my country- men, I was . hurried into the indulgence of those anticipations, which, I fondly hoped, would prove to he something more than the mere dreams of an enthusiast. The objects, which I seemed to behold in the perspective of time, too readily received their colouring from the vivid hues of a warm imagination; and it was not, until too late, that I discovered my vision to be, like other visions, no more than a " baseless fabric." Urbem, quam dicunt Romam, Melibajc, pntavi Stultus ego htiic nostra? similem. Thus, with the shepherd in Virgil, though, in fact, by reversing the picture, I also foolishly estimated the feelings of others by those which actuated my own breast ; aud, when T first embarked iu my late enterprise. I confess that I drew largely on hope, because I had not as yet beeu taught the wisdom of experience. I have since learnt, however, ( to re- sume the image borrowed from tbe Mantuau bard,) that none of my offerings to the " ungrateful city," of whicfc my fancy had presented me with so treacherous an idea, were ever to be compensated with any adequate return. But my dream is now at nn end ; and I awake, if not to a realization of imagined success, at least to the advantage of having derived from the past a wholesome lesson for avoiding the illusions of the future. If it be objected fo what I have now said, that I ndulged a causeless enthusiasm, and cherished hopes for which I had no warrant, and that the dis- I appointment. I experienced was, therefore, but a natural event;— If, I say, such on objection be made, I reply, without hesitation, thnt tlie circumstances of the period, at which the CAMBRO- BRITON - vvas com- menced, amply justified the anticipations I hud the misfortune to espouse. For, it was but a short time before, that the Cambrian Society in Dvved, formed professedly for cultivating the literature of Wales, had appeared to communicate to the Principality a new impulse in this respect. At least, judging froin the reports that bad reached me through various channels, I could not hesitate to believe that the torpid spirit of Cambria was at length roused from its long slumber ; and, with an avidity, in any event excusable, I seized the opportunity to unite my humble exertions with those tlf my countrymen in the national cause. Hence it was thai I concluded, however rashly, that a periodical work, aiming to vindicate and illustrate our ancient literary remains, and to diffuse an accurate knowledge of our vener- able tongue, might have a chance of a favourable reception, as harmonizing with the views ofan insti- tution, formed expressly for the promotion of these objects. Hence it was that I hoped, however un- wisely, to derive from the re- animated patriotism of , my countrymen that generous co- operation and support, which ' he engagement of all in the same Common cause might seem to invite. But I was deceived :— the high- sounding professions, of which I had beard, were not to extend their influence j beyond the circumscribed spot of their birth; or, at ! best, they were, as they concerned me and my undertaking, vox et prreterea nihil. Such were the motives that led to the adoption of my late enterprise; such has heen its perverse destiny. Although the CAMBRO- BRITON was avow- I edly undertaken to advocate the very cause, in the i support of wbieli all Wales appeared at length to j unite,— still all Wales, as if wrapt up in a haughty | consciousness of its own sufficiency, seemed with one j voice t< » exclaim— Non tali auxilio, noli defensoribus istis, Tempos eget. But, he this as it may, experience bas now taught { ine lhat the attachment, really felt towards the j interests of Cambrian literature by the natives of j Wales, bears but a small proportion indeed to that which has been affected. It is, however, in the highest degree creditable to the ingenuity of my countrymen, that they have known so well how to sustain a part, for which, it would appear, Nature never designed them, and, under the assumed mask of patriotism, to deceive the nicest observers into a belief of llie reality of the character. What a happy exemplification of the natio comctda est of the poet! It may now be worth while shortly to advert to the actual indifference, with which ( notwithstanding all that has heen pretended to the contrary) tbe Welsh regard the cause of their national literature, of that literature, I mean, in its highest ami most interesting associations, ns exhibiting to our view the fast fleeting traces of ail that vvas anciently of worth in the genius, in the exploits, nnd in the character of the Cyitiry. I have a'ready incidentally attributed this indifference fo natural causes; and, asfaras national habits and prejudices become a second nature, I have been right. For it is too probable, that the apathy in question has its root in those peculiar religious propensities to which Wales has, for a long series of years, been proverbially subject, and which have established their exclusive dominion over the mind, at the expense of those more unconstrained ft- elings which belong to the cultivation of refined literature, and of general science. Hence, as a natural conse- quence, a taste for the literce humaniores,— for the more polished learning of the world,— has been too often obscured by the gloom of fanaticism, or lost in the baneful vortex of theological controversy. I do not state this, however, as an universal positi n ; but that it is the. ffeneral case every man of candour will grant. Even with those of the most libtril attainments, whatever knowledge they possess of ihe Welsh tongue is, in most cases, devoted rather to the objects 1 have briefly alluded to, than to the more j classical purpose of illustrating those valuable j treasures, which antiquity has to reveal. Whatever be the grounds upon which this peculiarity in the character of ihe. Welsh is to be defended, if is no Jess true, that it is the wain cause © f their genera! To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR,— As the public have not been favoured with an impartial report of the proceedings of fhe Eis- teddfod held at Carnarvon, I shall feel obliged by tbe insertion of the following simple statement of facts As those proceedings were unhappily at- tended with many unpleasant circumstances, the present brief report, accompanied by a few remarks connected wilh the subject, may perhaps prevent the existence of similar circumstances ut the ap- proaching Eisteddfod. Mr. Richard Roberts, of Carnarvon, was selected one of the five judges appointed to decide who was the best performer on the triple harp. It is much to be regretted that all the judges were not professors of music Mr. Roberts thought it necessary before the candidates for the silver harp commenced their performances, to acquaint them publicly with the three indispensible requisites they should possess, viz. " to keep time, to strike the notes distinctly, and execution." It has been mentioned in some of the public prints, that after the first trial, Mr. Roberts alone asserted, that Mr. Cunnah had played out; of time. Being present at the meeting, I can truly affirm that all the other judges coincided in his opinion ; and further remarked, that Mr. Cunnah had, before the conclusion ofthe air, widely departea from the mode he had previously adopted, and that very great irregularity prevailed in his variations. If wild and vague flourishes please the ear of the unskilful, they grossly offend that of the scientific professor. Mr. Roberts then proposed a second trial, inorderto afford Mr. Cunnah the opportunity of cor- recting his former error; but, before the second trial commenced, Colonel Parry ( the president) de- clared that the candidates " must be exact to time," and that the air< should he one of their own choice The result of the second trial was, lhat Mr. Cuninh instead of correcting his error, added to it; he not only played out of time, but he left out part of the air.: but W. Hughes and J. Morgans played their airs correctly. Col. Parry then asked the three candi- dates whether they would play the same air on the same harp ? W. Hughes aud J. Morgans consented ; but Mr. Cunnah having refused, he was allowed to play on his own harp. After this arrangement. Col Parry observed that the judges must decide the contest hy a third trial. W, Hughes aud J. Morgans p'ayed the third time in a correct manner; but upon Mr. Loder ( one of tbe judges) being asked whethei there were any errors iu Mr. Cunnairs third per fortnance, he replied, that . be had left out part of th third bar, and be might have justly added part of th second. Mr. Roberts deemed it his duty, as a per former on the Welsh harp and as one of ibe judges, to decide impartially ; and I am positive, that no out who understood music could he dissatisfied with the decision: he was resolved to give his vote in favour of merit, divested of every other consideration. In regard to tbe remark which Mr. Roberts made on the third trial, and on which some have taken occasion t reflect, be merely stilcd, that J. Morgans played th air with more grace than W. Hughes. After the conclusion of the meeting, it was said by a gentle- man who thought himself pre- eminently skilful music, that time was of little importance : but should be glad to learn what is the principal thin music, and what chiefly constitutes an air? If a bad timist is a good musician, then a bad orthographist is a good scholar. Mr. Cunnah, on the last evening of the Eisteddfod, publicly mentioned that he bad been wronged at Wrexham, as well as at Carnarvon ; and it has also been hinted by some of his friends, that Mr. Roberts had manifested towards him what tbey called " Gwenwyn." As Mr. C.' s friends have implicitly charged Mr. R. with gross misconduct, it is fair that they should come forward and give a full disclosure of the grounds upon which tbey can substantiate the charge. Would it have been consistent with Ihe duty of an impartial judge to wink at the errors of Mr. Cunnah, however eminent he may he considered in his profession ? They, indeed, frel greal chagrin at his unsuccessful attempts, and yet they fondly- flatter themselves with bis having been " neck nnd neck" with Mr. R, at Wrexham; but I appeal to the hmg- wiuded decision for a proof of pre eminent merit. Mr. Cunnah has heen complimented with the highly flattering encomium of being a man of great talent, taste, and execution ; but if he be a gentleman of that exalted description, why is he accused by his frieiid in the Cambro- Briton of being over fond " of playing his own composition, and of sounding his own trumpet." I can testify that Mr. Roberts did not feel the least embarrassment during his performances at Wrex- ham ; and I can assert, that he would be most happy in having an opportunity of contending again with him for any sum not less than that of £ 50, & of taking a friendly glass with him after the contest: the per- formance to consist of a Welsh air, with variations; an overture, a concerto, a chorus, and of that cele- brated national air, 4 God save the King;' and tbe decision to be made by three or five of the most competent performers on the Welsh harp of the preseut time. VERITAS. The paragraph referred to in the following Letter did not originate with us, but was gleaned from a Provincial Print. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. London, 13//* September, 1822. DEAR SIR,—- On reading the account of the Annual Meeting of the Bristol Steadfast Society, in your ! paper of the 11th inst. I observe, in fhe com ! menls you make relative to the Battle of Waterloo, I you assert what ( I believe) you never saw in anv i of the radical prints, as you are pleased to call i tlieni, viz 44 It has frequently heen asserted the radical prints, and many have given credence to the story, that our great Hero and his Staff were at an assembly at Brussels on the evening precedinp- the Battle of Waterloo." Now any one that knows any thing of the Battle of Waterloo would never attempt to assert that Lord Wellington or his Staff were at an assembly at Brussels on the evening precedingthe 18th June; but let me ask, where were he and his Staff on the evening preceding the 15th June, previous to tbe Battle of the 16th? ( the result of which is well known.) By answering this plain question you will much oblige a constant reader, and one who was present and in the Army during the whole of that eventful Campaign.

On Monday the fineness of the morning attracted n great number of visitors to witness the interesting ascension of Mr. Livingstone's balloon. As early as six o'clock, a cannon was fired from tbe premises, known by the qaine of Woodcock's Yard, intimating Mr. Livingstone's determination to ascend. A very, spacious building- was erected to enclose tbe balloon under the direction of a committee of the town, an< f by the activity of these gentlemen, the most ex- cellent arrangements were made to collect money, and superintend the general convenience.. About nine o'clock tbe doors were opened to the Public, when tire balloon was about one- fifth filled with gas. The polar diameter of the balloon was 38 feet; the equatorial diameter, 30 feet ; the weight of the car and apparatus, including the grappling irons, & e, 2401b.; Mr Livingstone himself 126lbs:; . making altogether 3tiblbs. The balloon was estimated t « > contain 16,000 cubic feet of carbonated hydrogen gas, which it v% ns calculated would raise five cwt.; but if inflated with pure hydrogen, the same quantify would carry half a ton. As this was the first time the aeronaut had made the experiment of ascending with carbonated hydrogen ouly, the greatest caution was necessary previous to starting.- The Earl of Wilton, Lord Stanley, Lord Grey, and. many other distinguished persons volunteered to collect a subscription upon the ground from among their friends, and tbey presented a considerable sum to the aeronaut.— The ascension was intended to have taken place about one o'clock, but it vvos half- past two before if was brought info the open air. The ap- pearance of Mich nil immense and beautiful object floating in tbe air, detained from rising by men hold- ing on tile cords of the netting, bad a fine effect. Every precaution was taken, by trying the balloon repeatedly. The arrangements were superintended by Mr. Sadler, jun. who affixed a very elegant car. to the net- work. A circle having been formed round the balloon, the amiable Countess of Wilton, attended by the Earl and the Lady Mayoress, advanced, and each presented Mr. Livingstone with a flag, wishing bim success in his aerial voyage. After shaking hands with a few friends, the aeronaut leaped intre- pidly into the car,' aud was launched upon his pcril- us voyage at ten minutes before three o'clock, amid he huzzas and shouts of an immense assemblage of persons. The ascent was magnificent, the balloou rising majestically and slowly to a great height, u hen it took a westerly . direction, towards Blackburn, con- tinued in sight for about eight minutes, and then was ' mmersed in the clouds: it again shortly became foible, aud continued so till a quarter past three, when it was observed to be descending. Mr. Livingstone soon found that he was neariug tu the higher land, and being desirous to descend upon he level, lie opened the valve when he had been in ibe tir about twenty minutes. He conceived ( for objects below him were not distinct) that he was nearly over the tow n of Blackburn, aud at the height of about three miles. The balloon for some moments descend- ed very gradually, and he found that he was on the slope of a valley : he therefore threw ail his weight upon the valve, now descending withjgreat rapidity : he also threwout his grappling irons. At live minutes past three o'clock, the balloon fell in a . field between Stonyhurst and Blackburn, within two utiles of Wbal- ley, on Billington Moor. The ballon dragged over two or Ihree fields, on the edge of a slope, and in its progress the grappling- iron tore up every thing in its way. Three husbandmen ran to Mr. Livingstone's assistance, and endeavoured to get the grappling- iron round a tree. They succeeded, but such was the force with which it was driven by the wind, that the tree was torn up by the roots. One man, in attempting to hold the bolloon down by ropes, had his hands com- pletely scarified. At length, after several violent re- bounds from the earth, M r. Li vingstone was thrown out of the car, at the height of 18 feet from the ground: he fell upon his side, which, we are sorry to say, is much bruised. The balloon rose again, on being re- lieved from his weight, and was driven over ihe borders of Yorkshire, in the direction of the German Ocean, distant about one hundred and twenty miles, Mr. Livingstone met with the kindest attention, and was immediately brought oji horseback to Wlialley.. By the Blackburn coach he returned to that town; where be had' his bruises examined by Mr. Barlow, the surgeon, who advised his remaining- there that night. On Tuesday morning, he returned to Preston, a good deal fatigued, and a iittle lame front a bruise ou his hip, but in good spirits, aud on entering the town in a chaise, he was followed and cheered.— Mr. Allen, a gentleman who had rendered Mr. Living stone efficient service preparatory to bis ascent, prua ceeded to Blackburn on Monday night, to afford bin* any assistance that might be necessary. At tbe Ball iu the evening the company wna more select than numerous, aud the dancing was not checked by the annoyance. of a crowded room. On Tuesday, the eighth day, the series of musical performances commenced, with a selection from the works of Haudel, Haydn, and olher composers, at toe Parish Church, which was numerously attended, lu the evening there was a Concert at the Theatre. On Wednesday morning the fine Oratorio of the Messiah* was performed at the Parish Church, aud was greatly attended. The combined talent ofa verv full orchestra yielded complete gratification to ail who were present.— The Mayor afterwards gave one of his hospitable dinners at tiie Guildhall, to a party of eighty four noblemen and gentlemen. Throughout the Guild his Worship has given several sumptuous dinners, to parties of about 60 per- sons. Ou this occasion several of the distinguished performers at the musical festival were invited, and the company were delighted by the exquisite powers of Mr. Braham, Mr. Kellner, and. Mr. Nichol- son— To this Succeeded the Ball for the benefit ofthe public charities, in the evening, at the New Rooms, which were crowded by the distinguished visitors of the Guild, and a number of fhe resident gentry, re- spectable tradesmen, & their families. On Thursday morning there was a grand procession from the Town Hall, of the Mayor, the Bailiffs, the Aldermen, and the Common Council, wish their officers and regalia, to the lower- end of Friargate, on the open ground between the Lancaster and Kirk- ham road, fo lay the foundation- stone of a new Church of the. Establishment. The Vicar, other clergymen, a body of Freemasons, and a number of gentlemen., joined the Corporation, being beaded by a full mili- tary band. A psalm was sung, a prayer and au address made by the Vicar, coins deposited, and the stone was laid by Mr. Justice Parke, who pronounced an eloquent oration to the assembled multitude. 44 God save the King" closed the ceremony.— At one o'clock the Public Breakfast of the Mayoress was rowded. Seven hundred invitation cards had been issued. Five hundred dishes were cooked. The tables were adapted for 320 persons at a time ; and that, as the company which first s; it down should rise, others could supply their places^ and the tables be replenished. The admired, Lady Mayoress, ac companied by lief father the Mayor, took her place at the head of the table, supported by the Earl and Countess of Derby, and other persons of rank Lord Linton vvas present. A hand played waltzes during the repast. The dresses of the Ladies were elegantly neat. The Gentlemen wore black or blue coats aud white or nankeen trowsers. The attentions of the Mayor and Mayoress were marked by their charac- teristic politeness. The great room of the Exchange was superbly decorated for the occasion. A prome- By an Act of Parliament passed in tbe last Session, all carts conveying manure, although the turnpike road docs not pass through the parish from which the cart came, or to whicb it \ A returning, are exempt from toll: and all caris iadeu with lime, the wheels being of the width required by ttie same Art, ar$ bUo cKompt. nade followed the breakfast, and the company sepa- rated about half- past three o'clock. On Friday, the Oratorio, or concluding musical meeting, was much belter attended than any of the preceding- performances, and the grand composition of the Creation was most admirably executed. The Masquerade at night equalled all lhat could have been promised to the warmest imagination; at ten o'clock, the rooms were crowded to excess, by par- ties iu every variety of costume, and supporting every shade of character which the most fertile fancy could suggest. By previous arrangement, the com- pany unmasked about half- past eleven ; and it formed no inconsiderable portion of the amusement for friends to recognize each other in the variously as- sumed dress and manners most opposite to their accustomed habits. The rest of the evening, or rather morning, was spent in dancing as at a Fancy Ball ; and thus passed away the closing scene of the festivities of Preston Guild, which, on this occasion, have far exceeded those of any previous celebration of this ancient Institution. Mr. Living- tone's Balloon was happily secured, be- tween 4 aud 5 o'clock on Monday afternoon, at Miu- fhorpe, six miles east of Selby, in Yorkshire, by Mr. Chaplain, a respectable fanner, who bas taken care of it, iu order to restore ii safe to Mr Livingstone, PRESTON GUILD RACES.

The account's of this celebrated individual, which lisve found their way into the Papers and Maga- zines since his death, are in many respects very inaccurate. The following has been furnished by a Gentleman well acquainted with Sir William and his family, and its accuracy may be relied on:— Sir William Hersc. be! was born in November, 3738 ; his father being a musician, brought up his four sons, of whom Sir William was the second, to the same profession, aud placed him, at the age of 14, io ihe band of the Hanoverian Foot, Guards. Unable, howeVcr, long to end fire the drudgery of. sueh a situ- ation, and conscious of superior proficiency in his art, he deterinVned on quitting the regiment, and seeking [ lis fortune iu England, where he arrived about the end of the year 1757. After struggling with great difficulties in London, he WHS engaged by the Earl of Darlington, to superintend k- instruct a military band fhen forming by that Nobleman, in the County of Durham, and the opening thus afforded contributed so far to increase his reputation and connections, as to induce him to spend several years after the termi- nation of this engagement in the neighbourhood of Leeds, Pontefract, Doncaster, &. c. where he had many scholars, aud led the public concerts, ora- torios, kc. 44 In 1766 he was chosen organist at Halifax, a situ- ation he soon after resigned for the more advantage- ous one of organist at the Octagon Chapel at Bath. In this great and gay resort of fashion, bis extraor- dinary musical talents procured him ample employ- ment ; and the direction of the public Concerts, and his private teaching, produced him a considerable income. 44 But though fond to enthusiasm of his profession, his ardent thirst for knowledge had begun for some time past to open a nobler field to his exertions. While at Halifax, he had commenced a course of mathematical reading, and in spite of the difficulty of such studies, acquired without assistance a consider- able familiarity with tlie principles both of pure and applied mathematics. The sublime views disclosed by the modern astronomy bad powerfully attracted his attention, and when he read of tlte noble dis- coveries marie by the assistance of the telescope, he was seized with an irresistible desire to see with his own eyes the wonders he read of. Fortunately the price of an instrument capable of satisfying his curiosity was beyond his means, and he resolved to attempt the construction of one for himself. In this arduous task, after encountering endless difficulties, he succeeded, and in 1774 first saw Saturn in a five feet reflecting, telescope, made by his own hands. Encouraged by this success, be now attempted larger telescopes, and soon completed a seven, a ten, and a twenty feet reflector, labouring with such obstinacy as to have actually finished no less than 200 object wiirrors before he could satisfy himself with the per- formance of one. Astronomy now occupied so much of his atten- tion, that he began to limit bis professional engage- ments, and restrict the number of his scholars. 44 About the latter end of 1779, he commenced a regular review of tbe Heavens, star by star, with a seven feet reflector, and having already continued this upwards of 18 months, he was at length rewarded on the 13th of March, 1781, with tbe discovery of a new primary planet, to which he afterwards gave the name of Georgium Sidus, now more generally dis- tinguished by that of Uranus. 4k In consequence of this memorable discovery, the attention of the scientific world became fixed upon him, and his late Majesty, with a promptitude of liberality w hich must ever be recorded to his honour as a patron of science, enabled him, by the settle- ment of a handsome salary, to discontinue his pro- fessional exertions, and devote the remainder of his life wholly to Astronomy. In consequence of this arrangement, Herschel immediately quitted Bath, and took up his residence at Datchet, in the neigh- bourhood of Windsor, where he was no sooner estab- lished than he entered on a career of discovery un- exampled, perhaps, in the history of science. Hav. jng removed to Slough, lie commenced the erection of* a telescope of yet larger dimensions than any before attempted, which he completed in 1787, and aided by this, stupendous instrument, and by others of hardly Inferior power, extended his researches to every part ofthe heavens, penetrating into regions of space of a remoter ess eluding calculation, and developing views of the construction of our own system and the uni- verse, of a daring sublimity, hardly more surprising than the strictness of the induction ou which they rest. 44 In these observations and the laborious calcula- tions into which they led, he was assisted throughout by his excellent sister, Miss Caroline llerschel, whose indefatigable and unhesitating devotion in the per- formance of a task usually deemed incompatible with female habits, surpasses all eulogium. It is not our task to trace the progress of these discoveries, which were communicated as they arose to the Royal So- ciety, and form an important part of the published transactions of that learned body from the year 1782 to 1818. 44 Iu 17—, be married Mary, widow of the late John Pitt, Esq. and the accession of domestic hap- piness he experienced from this union, while it testi- fied the justice of bis choice, contributed powerfully to cherish that calm tranquillity of mind which is the native element of contemplative philosophy, and the soil from which its shoots rise most vigorous aud most secure. " 4ln 1816, his present Majesty was graciously pleased to confer on him the decorations of the Guelphic Order of Knighthood. His astronomical ob- servations were continued within a few years of his death, till his declining strength, no longer keeping pace with the activity of his mind, he sunk at length, full of years and glory, amidst the applause of the world, aud, what was far dearer to him, the venera- tion of his family, and the esteem and love of all who knew him. 44 Sir William Herschel has left one son, who, with his father's name, inherits his distinguished talents. 1' The Heliotrope, a new Instrument.— When Professor Gauss was engaged, in 1820, at Lunebnrgh, in trigonometrical observations, to combine the Hano- verian with the Danish triangles, he perceived that when he directed his telescope towards the steeple of St. Michael's church at Hamburgh, which was seven German ( thirty- two English) miles distant, the little round window in the upper part of it reflected the jma » e of the sun towards him, and thus impeded him in Ins operations. This gave him the idea of using the sun's light for signals, by catching it with n mir- ror and reflecting it to the place to which a signal xvas to be given. He made a calculation of the gtrength of The sun's light, and of the diminution it suffers in the atmosphere; from which it appeared that a small mirror, two or three inches in diameter, was sufficient to reflect the sun's image to the dis- tance of ten or more German miles. This is the Heliotrope, described to be of great importance in the measuring of large triangles, and as likely to supersede the methods hitherto employed. These consisted in placing, or fastening by night, several Argand lamps vvith reflectors at those places which it was intended to observe from a great distance. This measuring by night is very inconvenient, and by day Ihe light of the lamps is much too faint to be always seen at the distance of several miles through a teles- cope. The inventor of the Heliotrope, on the other hand, had full proof of the great advantage to be derived from it when he was last year on the summit of the Brocken Mountain, to determine the three corners of the triangle for measuring the meridian in t! ie North of Germany; on which occasion Professor Gauss gave signals with this instrument to his assist- ants, stationed at 14 German miles from bim, upon the luselbergh in the forest of Thuringia. But the great use of the Heliotrope is not confined to such operations. It will be found greatly to excel the telegraph, for giving signals, aud in time will pro- bably supersede it. As tiie reflected image of the # nn is visible at so great a distance, the signal stations t » iav be much fewer. The mode of using it is like- wise more simple, it being merely necessary alter- Mutely to show and to hide the mirror; the intervals, meuKUied by a stop watch, arc the signals. The Bishop of London's Charge to the Clergy of his Diocese, at lhe Visitation in July last, contains the following remarks on the present state cf Society, in its immediate bearings on Religion : " We live at one of those remarkable periods, which constitute eras in the' history of the world. For a series of years preceding the French revolution, the diffusion " of knowledge and cultivation of intellect iu France, and the neighbouring countries, exceeded io such a proportion the countervailing powers of religion and morality, that all competent judges, acquainted with the state of society, agreed in opinion that, some mighty convulsion was at hand. Ofthe disasters which followed that dreadful event, and the shock which it gave to the civil and religious institu- tions of the Continent, it is altogether superfluous to speak. But whilst the world was involved in con- fusion around us, this country, by the blessing of Providence, was not ouly preserved from destruction, but rose to an eminenee of glory and power, which it had uetfer attained in former times.— In reasoning on the causes of this difference in our favour, we are justified, I trust, in ascribing our safety to the quan- tity of virtue and good sense produced in the country by the free Constitution of our Government, the equal administration of our laws, the principles which regulate our seminaries for the education of youth, and above all to the prevalence of a sound, a pure, a reasonable Religion. The immediate danger is now past; but when we direct our attention to the system- atic culture of intellect introduced in the course of a few years among all classes, we cannot but feel au anxiety lest the balance of society should suffer dis- turbance from this sudden increase of its momentum. In proportion as these additional energies imparted to the mass of the. people are under the direction of good principles, they will give stability to the Government, advance the cause of religion and morals, and contribute to the general advantage. But there is no necessary connection between know- ledge and goodness, between the possession of intel- lectual power, and a disposition to apply it to its proper ends. Its legitimate vse may exalt us to heights of civilization and happiness, as much above onr present condition, as that condition excels the state of society at the commencement of fhe 15th century : its abuse may be fatal to our existing estab- lishments, may demolish the bulwarks of strength and security, erected by the wisdom of our ancestors, and consolidated during a succession of ages, by their continued labours. The enemies of religion and order are so* Well aware of these consequences, that, wbile they profess an earnest desire to enlighten the people, they encourage that mode of instruction alone, w hich instils no fixed principles of religion, no preference to any form of worship. It therefore must be otTr object, on the other hand, to maintain the proportion Which should always exist between the active powers of the public mind, and the con- troul and direction of their exercise by the operation of moral causes. And this we must do, not by dis- couraging the acquisition of knowledge, or the cul- tivation of understanding, among the loWer orders; but by taking effectual methods to supply their minds vvith just notions of their duty towards God and man, and place them under the habitual direction of sound principles and good feelings. The influence of the Clergy is one of the princi- pal causes which ensured the safety of the nation, amidst the extremes of confusion and anarchy which agitated the neighbouring countries: and I cannot bnt think that any material diminution of that influence, w hich is essential to the success of their exertions, and of course still more its extinction, would produce, at no great distance of ' time, the most injurious consequences both to Church and State. Their weight in society of course will depend on the estimation in which their character is held, and on the manner in ichich they discharge their duties,"'[ His Lordship's own italics. J 44 The Laity have a right to expect that the attain- ments, in learning and piety, of the Clergy, consi- dered as a body, should rise, at the least, above the ordinary level of other classes of society. Such comparative excellence I believe to have been found in every country where the discipline or doctrine nf the Church has been maintained in tolerable purity. I even think it essential to the continued existence of any religious establishment." After referring to the state of the ecclesiastical body in other times, bis Lordship adds— 44 It is incumbent on us to advance with the progress of the times; and every individual should act as if the whole interests of religion de- pended on his personal character, nnd the faithful exertion of his powers within his allotted sphere. In all ranks of society are numbers of persons who are qualified to judge of our learning, ofthe soundness of our doctrine, and the efficiency of our instructions, and who regard with disgust even the slightest inattention to duty, or impropriety of moral conduct. 14 It is not easy to calculate the multiplied difficul- ties which, from these and similar causes, increase on the Clergyman, as the world advances iu knowledge, and create a corresponding necessity of discretion in his conduct, and energy in the discharge of his duties. In the midst of these difficulties our only real security will be found in a fixed resolution to act iu every instance on deliberate views of duty, and a sincere and sober love of truth, under a controlling sense of that Supreme Authority, from which we derive our commission, as the guides and teachers of our brethren, A Clergyman who acts on these motives, will have the advantage of moving with authority, dignity, and freedom ; he will retain his influence over his friends, though he may refuse compliance with their prejudices; he will treat the gainsayer with kindness, whilst he exposes the unsoundness of his principles ; and will shew courtesy and friendliness to the dissenter, without being supposed to approve his errors. This, I conceive, is the genuine liberality, which is the grace and ornament of the true Christian; a virtue, as far removed from indifference, as from the con- tentious spirit which assumes Ihe disguise of zeal. The sentiment misnamed I'berality, which looks with equal approbation on every sect that professes Christianity, is, in its most innocent form, a low and contemptible vanity ; it is more frequently, perhaps, a profligate indifference to religion, or insidious hostility intending its ruin, by depressing the estab- lished Church. It would ill deserve the character of a Christian virtue, if it could lend its countenance, however indirectly, to error or falsehood, or shrink from the defence of truth." COTTON MANUFACTURES.— A Glasgow Paper says—" During the last week there were imported at Liverpool 16,441 bales and 300 serons of cotton, the largest quantity, wxvbelieve, ever entered in the same time.— This trade is truly astonishing, and in some instances unaccountable. Some hundreds of boxes of goods are, we observe, returned from foreign markets, yet the Alfred, of 360 tons, is now ready to sail from Greenock for Jamaica, literally crammed with dry goods.— The quantity of cotton yarn which is uow shipping to the Continent is truly surprising. Oiie house here • hipped last week from Leith 20,000 pounds, and only a few days. ago we observed in oue shipment 30,000 pounds, and several cwts. The yarn thus shipped is, we understand, of the very finest quali- ties, a subject deserving the serious attention of our cotton manufacturers. To give an instance of the fineness to which cotton is now spun, we can state as a fact, that the price of a single pound amounts to £ 5. IDs. 6d. ( above 120 times tlie value of the same weight of raw material, which may serve to give the public an idea of the extent and value of the cotton manufactures of Great Britain) and even finer qualities are now being spun.— The waste from this kind of spinning is so well prepared that it is sold for its full value for other manufactures, so that the spinner of such fine qualities has no loss." DAMP IN WALLS,— An easy and efficacious vvay of preventing the effects of damp walls upon paper in rooms has lately been used ( and as we understand) with succcss. It consists of lining the wall or the damp part of it with sheet lead, pur- posely rolled very thin; this is fastened up with small copper nails, which not being subject to rust arc very durable, and the whole may be immedi- ately covered with paper. The lead is not thicker than that which is used in the chests in which tea is imported, and is made in sheets, of which the width is about that of common paper hangings.— Evening Paper. NEW POWER.— Au apparatus has been invented at Glasgow, for the manufactory of any mineral water requiring to be charged with carbonic acid gas, which amounts,, in fact, to the developement of a power hitherto unknown, but equal to that of steam. This machine is described as having neither gasometer nor air pumps, yel the strength of a boy is ascertained to be capable of compressing into any vessel from 30 to 40 atmospheres of gas in a few minutes ; while to effect the same with a forcing pump would occupy the strength of several men as many hours. A machine equal in force to an engine of 40 horse power, and requiring neither fire nor water, would not occupy a space of more than four feet square. In many purposes it may be more applicable than steam. A SELF TAUGHT ARTIST.— A young man of the name of Dreaper, residing in Waterford, has constructed an organ containing 200 pipes, for the Ursuline convent in that city. He has never received any instructions, and ranks high in his profession. The French Papers of tbe 7th instant bring s further confirmation of the defeat of Chourschid Pacha; wbich seems to be placed beyond all doubt by letters from Constantinople, announcing the Pacha's recall, in consequence of the Sultan's displeasure at the reverses he had suffered. The French account, which is given in a letter from Corfu, dated the 3d ult. states, that the infidel army having had its rendezvous at Larissa, marched against Zeitoun ( Zeitouri) 40,0\) 0 strong [ the distance of Larissa from Zeitouri, which lies 2 or 3 miles in advance of Thermopylae, is about 40 miles]. At Zeitouri, Chourschid detached his Kihaya, or Lieutenant, who had been appointed to the Pachalick of the Morea, over the ridge of mountains to the west of Thermopylae, with 12,000 men; and with his main body attempted to force the passage of the straits. The Kihaya succeeded in passing the ridge by ways deemed so difficult as to have been left unguarded ; but instead of falling upon the rear of the Greeks, he continued his march precipitately, in order, as it would seem, to secure his new Government by a surprise; and Chourschid, deprived of the co- operation of considerable a portion of his forces, suffered a total defeat, escaping with an inconsiderable remnant of his army. The date of the action is not given, but the Kihaya is said to have reached Salona, about 30 miles S W. of Zcitouri, in the middle of July. He might, bad he taken that line of inarch, SPAIN. [ PROM A BAYONNE PAT » ER. J Bayonne, Sept 2.—- The affairs of Spain,' as we have already intimated, are assuming an alarming appearance. The measures adopted by General Espinosa, in the Fifth Military Division, which com- prehends the provinces of Navarre, Guipuscoa, and Biscay, are far from being conciliatory, and will probably not have the result that is expected from them ; for how can parents, guardians, and masters be made responsible, uot ouly for the presence of the young men tn the hands, in case they do not return to their home, but even for the excesses tbey may commit under tbe standards of rebellion? * This General has adopted several measures of the same nature, which may end in exasperating people' minds, and consequently increase the hands of the discontented, though the ardent Liberals expected the happiest effects from them. Iu tbe last war with the French, their tyranny, the enormous contributions which they levied, and the assassinations, under the form of judicial proceedings, and trials hy court martial, far from intimidating the inhabitants, ended in making them resolve to quit their homes. The state of things in Spain is nearly the same. The Political Chiefs, influenced by tbe Liberal party cannot avoid acting arbitrarily ;* the Military Com- manders, destitute of pecuniary resources from the Government, and having in their hands discretionary power, only seek pretexts for levying fines, contri- butions, & c. on the inhabitants. We are well aware, have appeared in the rear of the Greeks at the | f, om f> i » ' ory, thatthe Spanish character, naturally MANUFACTURE OF SALT. A traveller, who had recently returned from a tour through the western part of the state of Onondaga, has obligingly furnished us with the following abstract from his journal,- relative to the manufacture of salt.— Albany Argus. 44 Salt has heretofore heen made by the troublesome and slovenly process of boiling ; by this process the bitumen which the water contains becomes incor- porated with the salt; hence its impurities, and hitherto bad reputation. 44 An entire change is about to take place in this business, by which, instead of an impure, weak, and line salt, which has hitherto been made here, there will be produced a pure coarse salt, of a quality equal to any in the world. 44 There is no limit to the quantity which may bs manufactured on the proposed new plan. 44 I proceeded one mile from Syracuse to Saliua, in the direction of the lateral cut intended to connect the grand canal with the salt lake, and from ' hence it is contemplated to improve the water communication to Oswego harbour. On the borders of this thriving village, at the base of the hill, there is now building extensive hydraulic works, to force the saltwater, by means of a ten- inch pipe, into a two- story framed building situated on the elevated ground, both stories being water light. 44 From this grand reservoir the salt wafer to he conducted in conductors under ground, and running parallel with the lateral cut to Syracuse. Here two powerful companies are erecting extensive works, to manufacture salt by evaporation. One company are Friends, from New Bedford, in Mas- sachusets ; the other reside mostly in the City of New York. These Works will consist of long lines of double tiers of connecting vats, covered with sliding roofs, which are moved with great facility on rollers, The tiers of vats are placed one in front of the other, the front tier being lowest. The water is first received into the upper tier of vats from the conduits, and remains there until all the impurities it contains are deposited at the bottom ; after which the pure water is drawn off into the front and lower line of vals, where it is left to be granulated by evaporation caused by the beat of the sun alone. This process, it is obvious, will require much less labour than the system of boiling, and the expense of fuel will be entirely saved.* 44 The salt by this process can be granulated of any degree of coarseness that may be required by the use of iron rakes. 44 In 1791 it was estimated that this invaluable water was five times stronger than sea water, five parts of water producing oue of salt, by boiling. 44 No salt has yet been made otherwise than in model of two vats in Mr. Mann's yard. In the upper one I noticed a considerable deposit of bitumen ; the remaining water was as pure and as clear as crystal. In the lower vat, where water had been previously introduced, and which was about half evaporated, I raked from the bottom a small quantity of salt not yet sufficiently granulated," * It may be proper to state that this process is entirely different from one which has been recently noticed" in the papers: iu that the evaporation is produced by the application of fire. same time; and it is therefore probable, that the previous accounts which fixed Chourschid's attack on the 17th, and his repulse on the 18th, are cor- rect.— The history of the Kihaya's subsequent proceeding is no less gratifying and glorions tothe Christian cause. From Salona lie marched to Lepanto, and at that port embarked his army on board fourteen Austrian vessels, said to have been stationed there for the purpose of conveying them. The Kihaya crossed the gulf and landed at Vasse- lica, a little to the west of Corinth. He made his first attempt upon that city, but being easily repulsed by the guns from the citadel, he pro - ceeded in a south- eastern direction towards Napoli di Roma, but was intercepted before Argos ( about 20 miles from Corinth) by the junction of the Christian armies under Mauromichale and Colo- cotrone. The Infidels were soon defeated, and retreated w ith half their army, about 20 miles, to St. George, a small fort on the coast, in which the last accounts left them blockaded by the Greeks. In this account there is nothing incredible but the act imputed to the Austrian Government of lending her navy to the Turks. We are not dis- posed to give credit to such a charge, and if the Turks did indeed cross the gulf of Lepanto in Austrian vessels, looking at the whole of the Kihaya's conduct, it is not unnatural to suppose that they may have been employed by violence. Constantinople, Aug. 10.— The Greek Patriarch died on the 8th of this month, after a long and painful disease ( the dropsy). His obsequies were performed to day with much order and dignity; many thousands ( Greeks) followed him to the tomb. According to ancicnt custom, the body had been previously exposed on the Patriarchal throne in the cathedral ; and more than 8,000 persons have been there to kiss the hands and feet of the Chief of their church. On the evening of the same day the Grand Seignior permitted the choice of a successor to be proceeded in. At the same time, six Greek Bishops were set at liberty, who had been detained as hostages for some months the Seraglio. The Porte has informed the Synod that, if its choice falls on any one of these Bishops, it will be approved of without difficulty, provided the candidate possesses the five following qualitics~ experience, prudence, skilfulness, learn- ing, antl fidelity to the Government. The names of sixty three Bishops were after- wards read in the Synod, of whom three were designated as candidates, uniting the necessary qualities. The Representatives of the Greeks at Constantinople, amounting to 600 voters, pro- ceeded then to the election, and their choice fell on one of the Six Bishops, viz. the Bishop of Chalce- donia, who was formerly Bishop of Smyrna. The Synod confirmed this election immediately, which it is hoped will meet the approbation of the Sultan, and that to- morrow the new Patriarch will be clothed with the Caftan. Some days before his death, the Patriarch wrote an affecting letter to the Sultan, in which he recommended the Greeks to his favour. In parti- cular he requested the abolition of a heavy tax, which the Greeks of the capital, as well as the Jews and Armenians, are obliged to pay every month to the arsenal. The Grand Seignior re- ceived this letter very graciously, and even before the death of the Patriarch the tax was abolished by a firman. proud and revengeful, and, besides, little accustom ed to such harrassing treatment, will not endure it; tbe Spaniard, poor, and little attached to his abode, sets fire, if necessary, to bis dwelling, in such a case, aud takes the field, with his musket on his shoulder, and his segar in his mouth. If we consider tbe arbitrary acts of which the zealous Liberals begin to be guilty, in tearing by violence and terror a great number of individuals from the bosom of their families, as has been done at Bilboa and St. Audpro, we must conclude that tbe moment ofthe cruel revolution so desired by the ex- alted Patriots, is at length arrived. The consequences will be very fatal and disastrous. The Liberals believe this is the time of their triumph, and that, all will yield to terror. Their adversaries, on the other hand, have never conceived such flattering hopes as now ; and the fact is that their cause does not retro- grade, especially in Catalonia, where they have 20,000 men under arms ; and if we may give credit to information which we receive, their new efforts will hardly give their enemies time to put themselves in a condition to resist tbe attacks of every kind to which they are going to be exposed. While the Royalists of Navarre are every day becoming stronger and organizing their force, we learn that Baron d'Erolles, Commander- in- Chief of the Royal- ists in Catalonia, is seriously engaged in forming and organizing an active army, which will he raised to the force of 15,000 men, and composed of thee/ e/ eof the different hands which remain in that province, still leaving a great number of Guerillas, which will suffice to employ the Constitutionalists. These latter will therefore he obliged, on their side, to form an army of adequate strength : but it is certain they nre in want of resources of every kind, while the Royal- ists, protected and supported doubtless by foreign aid, have such abundance of money, that they offer 1,000 reals to every deserterwho shall come with his horse, and 200 to the foot soldier. This is a great temptation to the Constitutional soldiers, who begin to waver at the Report of a Provisional Government at the Seo d'Urgel, and at the sight of the superior force w hich they, have to combat; not to speak of the difficulties of the groundand the many privations with which they have to contend. ThcTrappist basin fact effected his junction with Quesada, not, however, with 600 men, as we said in our last, but with 900 foot, and 100 fine lancers. This troop, which has heen harrassed and fatigued by the march it has just made, aud the obstacles it has had to overcome, will repose for some days in canton- ments in Navarre. General Espinosa is collecting in the environs of Pampeluna all the disposable troops in the district which he commands, as well as the volunteers of the National Guard w ho nre willing to take a part in the struggle. They estimate at 3,000 foot, 300 horse, and four pieces of cannon, the force w ith which he intends to attack Quesada, without reckoning 100 militia, of whom 100 from Bilhon hare lately joined hitn. Several rich merchants und laud- owners of that city are in the number. A letter from Liverpool, dated the 4th inst. s* y » " Mr. Canning left Sea forth- ho use ( his morning, for Staffordshire. About 100 Gentlemen waited for him at Low- hill, and about GO equestrian* proceeded about four miles on the London road, and then took leave of a man, whose abilities and urbanity of manner have endeared him to all lii « Constituents. Whatever may be Mr. Canning*! future destination, he bears with him the warmest wishes for his health and prosperity." The Liverpool Courier says :—" Our Reader*,, we doubt not, are generally aware, that when Mr, Canning was invited to tbe dinner w hich was given to him on Friday last, a sum, exceeding 1000 guineas, was subscribed by his friends for the purpose of purchasing a piece of plate, which they intended to present to him on that occca- sion, in testimony of the high sense which they entertain of the many and important services which he has rendered to this town and to the empire at large. Owing, however, to the unavoidable delay inseparable from the execution of the artist's designs, which, we understand, are particularly characteristic, some further time is necessary, lo enable Messrs. Rundell and Co. to complete the work in their best manner." Saturday's Gazetle announces the appointment of Major General Sir Edward Barnes to the Colonelcy of the 78th regiment, vacant by the death of Sir Samuel Anchmuty, A letter from Petersburgb, of the 17th ult. says —" Our exchange was yesterday in a great bustle, owing to the appearance there of the great banker Baron de Rothschild. Every one was so anxious lo have a view of him, that during the time he remained, which was about ten minutes, business was completely interrupted. Money is extremely scarce, and our 0 per cent, stock has fallen 1 per cent, but from this state of things it is hoped M. de Rothschild's presence will relieve us." It is confirmed that all the secret societies, including even the Freemasons, are prohibited in Russia, nut by an imperial ukase, hut by a minis- terial rescript, in which the causes of this prohi- bition are explained at length. Letters from St. Petcrsburgh say, tbat every person in office must appear before his superior to declare that he with- draws for ever from the order, on pain of losing his place. Some say tbat, besides this, every Free- mason shall engage, iu writing, that so long as he remains in Russia he will have no intercourse with any secret society either iu or out of the empire. CHELMSFORD, SEPT 2.— On Thursday, the 22d ult. the Rev. Johu Hunt ( late of Chichester) was introduced, in the presence of a very numerous and respectable audience, to the Pastoral Office iu the Independent Church and Congregation assembling at the Chapel, Baddow- Lane, iu this town. The nature of the services of the day was stated in a discourse by the Rev. J. Thornton, of Billericay ; the Divine Blessing was implored by the Itev. J. Savillc, of Colchester ; and the Charge delivered to the Pastor and Congregation by the Rev. Dr. Bogue, Theological Tutor of the Mis- sionary College, at Gosport. After the public services, upwards of 70 gentlemen sat down to dinner, at the Saracen's Head Inn ; the chair was filled by the Rev. Mr. Hunt, who, after the cloth was removed, addressed the company to the follow- ing effect :—" Gentlemen, it is not our custom on these occasions to foster that sort of conviviality which arises from the practice of giving toasts, but we have no objection to thein, when given in moderation, as expressive of our sentiments on subjects in which we are deeuly interested. I shall call upon you therefore tnus to express our sentiments towards the Sovereign of the British Empire $ as I am sure I am addressing myself to those who are the firm and decided friends of the British Constitution, f Applause. J The toast I beg to give I am 6ure will be received in a manner expressive of our attachment to the Government, and our loyalty to the King ; and I will venture to affirm it is never drank with greater sincerity, or with more genuine enthusiasm, than when drank by Protestant Dissenters of tbe denomination to which we have the honour to belong." He then gave—" The King, and tbe Royal Family," which vvas received and drank iu a manner fully justify- ing tbe sentiments the Rev. Gentleman had ex- pressed. The other toasts were of a more private nature, and called forth speeches from the several individuals to whom they referred. The company separated at an early hour, and an excellent sermon was preached in the evening hy the llev. William Chaplin, of Bishop's Stortford. A gentleman passing through Fleet Market, was surprised at being hailed from the well- known College by. a friend, who, it appeared, . was " in durance vile."* " Ah! Tom, why how came Von there?" nsked the gentleman. ( l O a very rascally piece of business; I am imprisoned for telling a lie." " For telling a lie; impossible! there must be some mistake." No it's true enough. I /) ro- jniseil to pay my tailor's hill; and J did'nt.'" POOR RATE.— Tbe Hull Paper of last week says— u We are glad to bear that lists of the paupers belonging to our Charily Hall have been printed. We hope they will be in immediate circulation. This is a great improvement, and must essentially benefit the establishment. Had the practice been always followed, connected with tbat of visiting, and other modes of enquiry, we have no doubt that much imposition would have been prevented. The necessity of the strictest investigation cannot be better proved than by the following fact, which has been communicated to us from a quarter of the highest respectability : No later than last week, a man died in the house, after having lived there a considerable time at tbe public expense. His body, previous to burial, was taken to his own house, whence il was carried to the grave, by which his widow was enabled to draw £ 10 from a club, of which he had been a member. Independent of Ihis, it turns out, that since last Easter, lie had been in the habit of receiving weekly, from tbe same club, seven shil- lings. No comment is necessary on such a fact, except that it is hard upon tbe public to have to support people in these circumstances. The seven shillings should have gone to the treasury of the Mall, and had it not been enough, the deficiency should have heen made up from the rate. Lists of all the members of all tbe benefit clubs in this town should be hung up in the Hall," ECONOMY IN MANAGING THE POOR RATES. — Kentish Paper says— The parish of Minster, iu the Isle of Slieppy, which includes the populous town of Sheerness, have recently adopted the plan of having a permanent Overseer, by whose active exertions, together with the low prices of provisions, the claims on the parish funds have been less by £ 1230.0s. lOJd. during the last than the preceding year, clearly demonstrating the benefit resulting from a spirited individual giving undivided atten- tion to the management of the poor. In Ihe year 1817, the rates in the parish of Wheatly, Oxfordshire, amounted to upwards of £ 00( 1; last week the poor of the same parish were let for £ 335. Apples, known by the name of Nonsuches, were so plentiful at Newark, on Friday and Saturday se'nnight, that they were hawked through the streets of that town at 4d. per peck ! Advices from Mexico lo the end of June, re- ceived by way of tbe United States, indicate that the new Emperor Iturbide is likely to experience much difficulty in maintaining his sovereignty. His growing unpopularity is ascribed to the re- establishment of the Inquisition, aud his refusal to permit the European Spaniards to return to their native country, or at least to carry their wealth with them. A convoy for Vera Cruz, wilh 900,000 dollars in charge, was stopped by order of the Emperor, aud the money appropriated to the expenses of his government. Much' disaffection had also been manifested among the Creoles, many of whom had emigrated. Tbe people of New Spain are divided in four political parties— Impe- rialists, Serviles ( or Old Royalists), Republicans, and Constitutionalists: fit elements, certainly, of civil discord. Iturbide is represented to have shown a very favourable disposition towards the citizens of the United States ; as a proof of which it is stated, tbat he had repealed, as respects them, the law prohibiting tbe exportation of specie. Little or no business was doing at Vera Cruz, and the markets are said to be overstocked with foreign goods. The Hampshire Telegraph of Saturday says— " 11 being found that affairs of considerable state importance will prevent his Majesty leaving town again so soon as be wished, and avoid the ap- proaching equinoxes, the ships that composed the royal squadron have been ordered to resume their respective stations, and the Royal George yacht lo proceed from Greenwich to Portsmouth, to be laid up for the senson." The sum already realised by the exhibition of Foothill Abbey is very considerable, and the visitors continue to increase in number every day. We understand that Mrs. Coutts on Sunday pri- vately inspected this scene of taste and magni- ficence. The rumour that Earl Grosvenor has purchased the whole of this splendid domain yet prevails.— Hampshire Paper. The alliance between Lord Viscount Mandeville, the son of the Duke of Manchester, and the accomplished daughter of Lady Olivia Sparrow, is settled to take place in November next. The Lady is an heiress; her fortune it £ 20,000 a year. PORTUGAL. In The Austrian Observer, of the 27th of August, there is an extremely long article ( nearly eight columns) on the affairs of Portugal and Brazil. It gives an unfavourable picture of tbe state of things inPortngnl; passes in review the measures proposed in the Cortes to prevent the entire loss of the Brazils ; dwells on the inadequacy and absurdity of the plan proposed by the Committee specially ap- pointed for the purpose ; and observes ou the pride and arrogance of the predominant party in theCortes, which will not allow them to consider of any con- ciliatory measures, by which the breach Ihat is so much dreaded might perhaps beaverted, orrendered less prejudicial.— Tnwnrds tbe conclusion of this article is the following passage— 14 The writers in the English Opposition Journals frequently speak with much satisfaction on the profound tranquillity prevailing io Portugal, and declare it lo be an irre- fragable proof of general content with the present order of things. It might be difficult for them to find any trail of what they call content in any class ( not excepting the party which for the moment pre- vails), in any condition, in any family, in Portugal; hut the tranquillity which we have in fact lately en- joyed, is the fruit of unconditional submission to a fate voluntarily brought on ourselves; and which, however burdensome it is, or may become, cannot he averted by ordinary means. The King, for reasons which nobody is called upon to fathom, has carried Ihis principle of resignation to the utmost limit of human palience and self denial ; the nation had nothing. left but to follow this example. The Revolu- tion must be borne, though the time is passed when the people thought it might beloved. For, that it has produced any advantage to the country, is con- sidered as a fable, even by the few who are com- pelled to say so. The all- powerful and supreme Cortes understand the work of destruction as well ns the artisans of revolution; but they seemed dis- posed to leave to future generations, the business of building up again. Without curing any of Ihe old diseases ( and Portugal certainly laboured under many), their desperate remedies have produced new ones that penetrate to the very vital. The ruin of the great families has not enriched those below them; but, with the stagnation of agriculture, and the want of work, produced poverty in all. Trade has declined on all sides; the sources of the revenue dry up ; Ihe national debt has increased since tbe 24th of August, 1820, by 10 million of crnsadoes ( about a million sterling); all intercourse with foreign countries is diminishing, even the most important, that with England, is threatened with manifold danger.— The foreign possessions, which have been long the main source of national prosperity, are ex- posed to the attempts of the first adventurer who shall raise his standard iu them ; and the only great result of two years promises and hopes, has been the defection of Brazil.— If such is our present situation, is the prospect of the future calculated to inspire satisfaction ? Bnt tbe future is involved in dark and threatening clouds. The Cortes have provided that the present Constitution shall appear equally doubtful to its friends and its enemies. There have'formerly been dreams of Republican Monarchies, of Republics with Monarchical forms, of Pyramids having for their broad base tbe power of tbe People, and for their summit the Royal Crown. But when, as is here the case, tbe Pyramid is reversed, and the whole Wright of an elective oligarchy is placed above the royal power, pressed below, and confined to a narrow com- pass, how ahull so unnatural an edifice stand ? lo fact, a conviction is universally prevalent, that it will fall to pieces at the very first shock ; and even on the most favourable supposition, it will not outlive for a single day the fall of the neighbouring edifice ; —( tbe melancholy archetype of ours), which similar want of proportion irrevocably condemns to similar ruin ; nnd from this conviction, there arises a general sentiment of insecurity, of despondency, and appre- hension, which is pourlrayed in every countenance ; and purposely, or involuntarily, pervades every con- versation. If these are symptoms of content, the London Opposition Journal's have truly painted the state of public affairs in Portugal," MOST EXTRAORDINARY CASK.— A singular marriage is likely to be regularly announced in a few days. Unprejudiced towards Ihe parties we shall give a detail of the affair with as much brevity as possible. A short time since a summons was oh. tabled; at the Head Office of Police against two individuals, who answer the names of C. & M. P. , to appear before the Magistrates there, to hear the accusation of W. N.—, for aiding and abetting in procuring the intermarriage of M. P. , aged about fifty- eight, with a Miss M'G- —, about 18 years old, contrary to the forms of the Statute pro- vided in such case, & c. The individuals who had procured ibis summons were accompanied by the young lady, her mother, and hy their Agent, Mr. T. Downing, and their legal adviser. Councillor Un- hand. It was slated to the Magistrates that on Sunday, the llth of August, Miss M'G , who hod been induced to leave her hoarding school by what she considered the mandate of her mother, but which that mother now declares to be a false docu- ment, was brought to town aud met bv Mr. C , who it seems had been left one ofthe Executors to the Will ofthe young lady's father, nnd by 51. P , the bridegroom; the juvenile bride, it seems, next: signed a document, termed an assignment of the property, to Mr. C——, and as now stated, imagining that her mother had approved of the union, she accompanied her admirer, Mr. P. , his friend Mr. C , and a Clergyman, to Bridge- street, and' thence to a Mansion in the vicinity of I. uean, where, iu the presence of n select few, the Clergyman pro- nounced the nuptial benediction. The young bride on her return lo town, having, as it is stated, been informed that her mother disapproved of Ihe union, immediately hurst into tears, declared what had occurred, and enumerated a variety of circumstances connected with this singular case"; she was imme- diately separated from her admirer, and all the parties who protested against Ihe marriage sought redress from the magistrates. They, however, were not certain that it came within their jurisdiction, and declined to proceed forward in ihe matter until the opinion of the Judges of the Court of King's Bench was first obtained. Mean time affidavits were filed by the parlies who defended the foregoing appeal, and Mr. M P. and Mr. C. obtained a writ of Habeas Corpus, and by virtue of such document the young wife vvas brought before Judge Burton, kc. a few days hack, and there regularly claimed by Mr. M. P. as his bride. The whole case was heard by Ihe judges Willi great patience and attention. " Mr. O'Driscoll attended on behalf of Messrs. M. P. and C. Mr. lluhaud ou the olher side. The Habeas having been dismissed, the little girl was handed over to her mother's care, nnd Mr. Huband informed Mr. Dawning that lie vvas at liberty to proceed against Mr. M. P. and Mr. C. forthwith; accordingly, a summons was yesterday obtained at the Head Office— before the magistrates of which, ihis most singular case will be again, discussed.— Dublin Paper. Respite of Capt. Rock and others.— The Cork paper of Friday last says, that " yesterday a respite arrived here to stay the execution of Walter Fitz- maurice ( alias) Capt. Rock, who vvith William Castello was to undergo the awful sentence of the law to- morrow ; a respite vvas received at the same time for Dennis Dnggen aud William Lamb for horse stealing; and a further one for Thomas Cashell for murder, who was to have suffered with his son last week. The only criminal that now remains for execution here is William Castello, who it is expected will suffer to morrow." The hop- picking is general in Ihis county, and the produce of the plantations will rival the former productions of tbe best yeais: the quality of th* hops is excellent.— Hereford Journal. By an Act lately passed for the speedy recovery of forfeited Recognizances, all peisous who may be bound to appear at the Sessions, or to keep the peace, & c. and neglect to comply therewith, will, with their sureties, be liable, within 21 days after such failure, to have their goods and chattels taken ill execution for the amount of their respective recognizances: or if no goods or chattels, they vriil be apprehended and lodged in the common gaol, to abide the judgment of the next General or Quarter Sessions, when the Court is required to determine finally on the case. THE RETORT COURTEOUS.— A member of one of the learned professions was driving his dennet along the road at Tooting, in Surrey, when he overtook a pedlar vvith his pack, and inquired what he had to sell. The mail produced, among other tilings, a pair of cotton braces— tbey were sixpence, he said. The Genllcman paid the money, and then said, " You have, 1 suppose, a licence!" " Y— e— s," vvas the reply, hesitatingly. « J should like to see it." After some further delay, it was produced.—" My good fellow, all's right, I see. Now, as I do not want these things, you shall have them again for three pence." The bargain was struck ; but how surprised was the querist to find a summons to attend the County Magistracy, sitting at Croydon. The Gentleman was convicted in the full penalty, for selling good* on the King's highway without a hawker's license — lie is a Lawyer ! A MAYOR'S FEAST.— In the days of " Good Queen Bess," viz. A. D. 1561, William Mingay, Esq. was Mayor of Norwich, and feasted the Duke of Norfolk, & c Ihe Lords, Knights, aud Gentry of the County, the whole cost of the entertainment being £ 1.18s. Id.— Afler dinner, Mr. John Martyn, a wealthy honest citizen, rose and madcthe following speech :—" Master Mayor of Norwich, and it please your Worship, you have feasted us like a King, God bless the Queen's Grace. We have fed plentifully, and now whilom I can speak English, I heartily thank you, Master Mayor, and so do w e all; answer boys, answer! your beer is pleasant and potent, and will soon catch us by the caput, and stop our manners. And so huzza for the Queen's Majesty's Grace, and all her bonny brow'd dames of honour! Huzza for Master Mayor, and our good Dame Mayoress. His Noble Gracc, there Iieis, God save him and all his jolly company! To all our friends round the County, who have a penny in their purse, and an English heart in their bodies, to keep out Spanish Dons, and Papist* with their faggots to burn our whiskers! Shove it about, turn your cap cases, handle your jugSj and huzza for Master Mayor, and his brethren their Worships!" The will of an officer who was killed ill the late engagement between Lord Cochrane and a Spanish fleet, has been proved within these few days in the Consistory Court of Durham. This testamentary document, which the unfortunate officer carried in his breast pocket, has been pierced in two different places by the fatal sword which terminated his existence, and it is also slightly marked with his blood.— Durham County Advertiser.
