DRAYTON- IN- IIALES, SEPT. 21,1S22. " How best the fickle fabric to support Of mortal man," HAS fengaged the attention of philo- sophers from the beginning ofthe world; but much remains to be done for the improvement of our state, and the relief of suffering humanity, i There is one class of disorders, however, which, appearing under a thousand Protean shapes, have but too often a common origin, aud therefore admit ; of similar treatment. The passions too early or j immoderately indulged ; the mind stretched into ; weakness, and the body info debility, by anxiety ! and intense exertion ; the habits of a fashionable life, so injurious to health; the use of strong liquors, and practices inconsistent with moderation and j healthful excitement, bring on ai train of Languor, « ,..„.,, , ; Irresolution, Nausea, Indigestion, Weakness, and tinned by Government, and confirmed by the Test of | Despondency, which nothing so effectually relieves NOTICE is hereby given, that on the Sixteenth Day of September, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty- Two, an Order was signed by FRANCIS BLITHE HARRIES and GEORGE GOODWIN, Esquires, two of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace acting in and for the Town and Liberties of Wenlock, in the County of Salop, for stopping up the useless Highway or Bridle Road hereinafter described ; ( that is to say) a certain Highway or Bridle Road branching eastwardly out ofthe Highway leading from the Village of Wyke. in the Parish of Much Wenlock, in the said Liberties of Wenlock, unto certain Lands called Tickwood Lands, in the Parish of Much Wenlock aforesaid, at or near a certain Coppice called The Yeld, in the Township of Wyke and Bradley, in the said Parish of Much Wenlock, and continuing in an eastwardly and northeastwardly Direction to the Confines of the said Parish of Much Wenlock, containing in Length Nine Hundred and Twenty- Two Yards, and particularly described in the Plan thereunto annexed ; and that the said Order will be lodged with the Clerk of the Peace for the said Town and Liberties of Wenlock, at the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace, to be holden, by Adjournment, in the Guild Hall, in Much Wenlock, in and for the said Town and Liberties, on the Twenty- Second Day of October next; and also that the said Order will, at the said Adjourned Quarter Sessions, be confirmed and in rolled, unless, upon an Appeal against the same, to be then made, it be otherwise determined. Wth September, 1822. CAUTION To Perf umers Medicine Venders. APEUNCE, the original Proprietor • ofthe RUSSIA OIL, is constantly receiving Information that Impostors are travelling the Coun- try with counterfeit Russia Oil, and, to deceive Shopkeepers and others, have made the Covers of their Counterfeit exactly like Prince's, and even printed on the Covers " Prince's Russia Oil," and copy Mr. Prince's Affidavit, made before the Lord Mayor of London ; and to deceive Perfumers, Medi- cine Venders, and others in the Country, say they are Partners or Travellers of Mr. Prince : he begs to caution Perfumers and Medicine Venders against purchasing Russia Oil from the Impostor who travels the Country. Mr. Prince having neither Partner or Traveller, recommends Perfumers, Medicine Venders, and others in the Country, to have the Russia Oil from a respectable Wholesale Perfumer or Medicine Vender whom they deal with in London ; they will be certain of not being deceived, as the principal Wholesale Perfumers and Medicine Venders in Lon- don are Agents for se11inPrince's celebrated Russia OU. Shopkeepers ought to be particularly on their Guard not to buy counterfeit Russia Oil, as Mr. Prince has had the Opinion of Counsel, who informs , him that if any one sells Russia Oil, with " Prince" j on the Wrapper, that is not Prince's, subject them- selves to an Injunction from the Court of Chancery, I the same as was granted to Day and Martin. In short, PRINCE's CELEBRATED RUSSIA OIL is so improved with an extra valuable Ingredient, through which it has made the Russia Oil the great- I est Nourisher and Preserver of the Hair in the Universe, will make it grow thick and long, and prevent its falling off or ever turning Grey ; and is such a Nourisher to the Roots of the Hair, that if it even has began to turn Grey, will restore it again to its natural Colour, and, if used often, it will never turn Grey again, and is sure to clear the Scurf, from Infancy to Old Age, and will always keep the Head and Hair clean and beautiful. Gentlemen who have lost their Hair, and have the least Sign of Roots of 1 Hair remaining, by using regularly, for a few | Months, Prince's Improved Russia Oil, with the | extra valuable Ingredient, will he sure to restore it and produce a fine Head of Hair, which hundreds I have experienced. j Even Medical Gentlemen have published, in the | Gazette of Health, that Prince's Russia Oil is superior to any Oil for the Hair, and will do, in Cases of what can possibly be done.— Ladies will find Prince's Russia Oil pre- ferable lo any oiher Oil for dressing their own or false Hair, as it gives it a natural Gloss, softens and curls it. Gentlemen wearing Powder ought to use it instead of Pomatum : it promotes Eyebrows, Whiskers, See. and, through the extra Ingredient, it will now always keep pleasant in all Climates. Proved by Affidavit, the 24th of November. 1814, before the Lord Mayor of London, that A. Prince is the Original Proprie'or inthe Universe of the Russia Oil; and therefore if any Perfumer, Medicine Ven- der, Hair Dresser, or any one else, sell Russia Oil that is not Prince's, they are Impostors, as they sell Counterfeits to their Customers. Ask for Prince's Improved Russia Oil, and observe Prince on the Wrapper and Seals of each Bottle ; without, it is not genuine, and cannot answer the Purpose. The Ounce Bottle 5s. or a large Bottle, containing five Ounces, £ 1, which is a Saving ; or six large for £ 5, which is yet a greater Saving. Sold hy the sole Proprietor, A. Prince, No. 9, Poland- street, Oxford- street, near the Pantheon, London; and by most principal Perfumers and ! » 3 edict lie Venders. { Ladies and Gentlemen will be particular, as Impostors have made the Covers of the Counterfeit Russia Oil so much like the Genuine, and even imitated the Original Proprietor's Name, and also copied the Affidavit ofthe Original Proprietor, made before the Lord Mayor; therefore Purchasers should be cautious, and have it of the Proprietor, or of a respectable Vender, Phoenix Fire- Office.

ANDREW WILLIAM CORHET, Esq.— In addi- tion to the rejoicings in honour of this Gentleman's attaining his majority, ns detailed i n our las> t, we are now enabled to add the following.— On Tuesday, at UPTON MAGNA, Mrs. Neveit and Mrs. Elsmere treat- ed the poor women, and the children of the Sunday School, with tea, & c. and a Ball at night.— Oil Friday, Mr. Allen, of UN KINGTON, gave a fat sheep ( 30lhs. per quarter), wilh plenty of strong beer to drink Mr. Corbet's health, tothe poor inhabitants of that place.— On Saturday, thc principal tenants' wives at UFFINGTON, gave lea, wine, and cakes, to the old and young cottagers of that village, kc. ; after tea the whole party marched in procession round the oak tree planted in commemoration of Mr. Corbet's coming of age; and then retired to the Ball room, where the chearful dance was supported ii high gb'e till 10 o'clock ; when all separated iu pence and hilarity.— Same, day, the principal inha- bitants of UPTON gave a large quantity of meat an'd drink to the neighbouring cottagers, & e. of that plaep and its vicinity.— The Balloon ( noticed in our List) was sent off from Uffington, Tuesday night, and after taking a direction towards Shrewsbury iu a verv satisfactory manner, became extinguished. Wc are informed that a daily Mail for the con- veyance of Letters will commence running between this town and Hereford on Sunday next, and that it will very shortly be extended to Chester, so that letters will go tn the latter place direct instead of being conveyed part of the way by the Holyhead Mail.— In less than a fortnight, also, the London Mail is expected to arrive heie ( downwards) about an hour or an hour and half earlier lhan it does at present, aud will leave ( upwards) about two hours later in thc morning. BUCKLEY- MOUNTAIN CHURCH.— ON Wed nesday last, this sacred edifice, erected under the Parliamentary grant of 58 Geo. 11 f. c. 45, aided by lhe generous subscriptions of the Nobility and Gentry whose property is in the vicinity,, and of others whose pious aud libeml feelings prompted ihem to assist in so noble a work of christian benevolence, was con- secrated for Divine Worship by the Lord Bishop of Chester. The services of the day were solemn and impressive; Prayers were read bv the Rector, the Hon and Rev. George Neville; and the Sermon on Oats ( New ( Old)... Peas CORN EXCHANGE, SEPTEMBER 30. We were well suppled with Wheat, this morning from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, bnt there being a demand for that of fine quality of this year's growth, such kind was taken off on as good terms as on this day se'nnight; but there is no demand for old When', and the prices of that description are quite nominal. New Barley is in request, nndsppports last Monday's quotations. The Oat trade is brisk, owing to short supplies. In Beans and Peas there is no alteration.

Monday, Sept. 30.— The Beef trade is a shade better iu choice things, but the general trade is very bad. Good Beef is scarce, and the average price is 3s per stone, but select Scots make 3s. 4d. A small lot, very good, weighing 76 stones, made £ 12. 15s. ; another lot of heavier weight ( P6) made £ 15. 10s. A lot of Lincoln Steers, v\ hich o jght to have weighed 12 stones to be fair beef, were offered at £ 12. 10s. and no buyer. Mutton is reckoned a shade better, but scarcely so much as to be worth quoting; 2s. 8( 1. was the best price we heard of, but a trifle more is pioted below. It is somewhat shocking lo see the narket still crowded with good Store Lambs, which ought to go to winter keeping. Prices returned by the Clerk of the Market.

The next prize for the poem ( Cvwydd) on " The overthrow of the Egyptians in the Red Sea," was bestowed on Mr. P. jones, of Liverpool. That for the best Englyn on " The Rainbow," for which there were many candidates, fell to the lot of Eliedydd ( Mr. Wm. Jones, Denbigh); and that for the best English essay on " The Ancient and Present State of the Welsh Language, with par- ticular reference to the Dialects," was awarded to Cadoc ap Gwynlliw ( R- ev. J. Hughes, Brecou). In this essay the author extracted many specimens from the works of the Welsh bards, among which was Davvdd ap Gwillym's compliment to Glamor- gan, and his description of the country under a fall of snow, which met deserved applause. During the day several English poems on appropriate subjects were read, and received their meed of praise. The successful candidates were invested with the Bardic insignia by Mr. Edward Williams, the venerable bard of Glamorgan. The attendance was both numerous and splendid. [ On the following day, the contest for thc Silver Harp was to take place, and the remaining prize was to be adjudged for the best essay on tlie subject ofthe Massacre of the British Nobles at Stouehenge ; the particulars of which, as well as of the Concerts, on Friday, & c. will appear in our next.] At the last Assizes held at Chester Castle, the honourable his Majesty's Justices were pleased lo admit Mr. John Fotllkes, the younger, of Wrexham, an Attorney and Solicitor for the several counties of Chester, Flint, Denbigh, and Montgomery. On Friday week, the Trustees of the Radnorshire Turnpike- roads held a Meeting at Presteign, when it was determined that the line of road from New- town to Builth, the making of which had been for some time suspended, should he speedily resumed and completed without loss of time. Some of the gentlemen who have the management, of the New- town District of Roads in Montgomeryshire, at- tended on the occasion, who, sooner than a work of such evident utility to the country should remain undone, very handsomely engaged to complete the road at a considerable jess sum than the estimate which had been professionally made for the pur- pose. In connection with this road, a great improve- ment in the line from Builth fo Brecon 4s intended,, which with the completion of the road from Builth to Llandovery, bv or near to Llanvvortyd Wells, will open desirable lines of communication between a. very nousidernble part of North and South Wales,. Sir James Hamlyn Williams, of Edwinsford, has, in addition to the great forbearance he has long shewn in the collection of his rents, just made allowances, on account of the badness of ihe times, to all bis tenants in Carmarthenshire ( except some few who were considered as having no just claim to such relief), out of and upon their last Lady- day rents, at different rates, from ten to thirty per cent. the occasion was preached by the Rev. Dr. Gardne Residentiary of Lichfield. A t least 5000 I Canon . persons witnessed the ceremony ; among whom were the Duchess of Marlborough, Earl and Countess Grosvenor, Lord Forester, Lord Radstock, Lord Kewyon Lady Charlotte Neville, General Sir Alured Clarke,' David Pennant, Esq. and Lady Caroline Pennant, Hoi;.

At Birmingham Michaelmas Fair, on Thursday last, there was a good show of fat cattle, and a very great supply of sheep ; the sale of both was very dull, and many of the latter were driven awav unsold. — Lean stock went off rather briskly, aud, with • milkers, were tolerably well sold.— Beef averaged about 3^( 1. lo 4d. and mutton 3d. to 3| d. per lb. sinking the offal.— There were plenty of horses, but of a very inferior description.— Good hacks seemed in demand.— The quantity of onions was much less than usual, the crop having failed from the seed ; this circumstance produced an advance. Gloucester Barton Fair, on Saturday, exhibited another melancholy proof of the depression of the times, and of the total stagnation of business which pervades the agricultural portion of tbe community. It was the universal remark that there never vvas so little done before at this mart. Tbe shew of cattle was about as usual, but no sales could be effected unless upon terms ruinously low for the farmer. The sheep fair was fully supplied, hut there vvas little demand ; arid pigs, which were more numerous than on any former occasion, were sold on terms below all precedent. The horse fair, perhaps, is the only ex- ception to these remarks, as good animals of this description, at all times command good prices; but inferior ones were in no request. The quantity of cheese pitched was considerable, but this article partook of tiie general depression, the prices being for best- making, 30s. to 35s. nnd for two- meal,, 25s. to 30s. per cwt.— Onions from 18d. to20d. per peck. RENTS.— At the late Audit- day of P. Brooke, Esq. of Mere, in the county of Chester, he ordered a reduction of £ 20 per cent, on thc rental of his estates, in Dutton, and other parts of Cheshire ; intimating, at the same time, that at the ensuing half year's rent day, a similar reduction should be made. Thursday last, the tenantry of the Rev. Sir Abraham Elton, Bart, met his agent at Bristol, w hen the agent expressed the determination . of his worthy patron to make / rhe abatement of his rents £ 40 percent, when U19 tenantry cheerfully paid the amount of his demand^. CARNARVON EISTEDDFOD, 1021. To the Editor ofthe Salopian Journal. SIR. lu contradiction to the letter which appeared in your Journal of the 18th September, in defence of Mr. Richard Roberts's conduct, towards our neigh- bour Mr. Cuu. nah, at Carnarvon, I shall feel obliged, through tbe medium of your valuable Paper, to lay before the Public a true ami correct narration of the whole business. Being present at both Wrexham and Carnarvon Eisteddfods, enables me to make some few remarks 011 the performances of these two great antagonists. Both Mr. Richard Roberts's and Mr. Cunnah's performances, at Wrexham, were de- lightful, and gave the crowded hall a fine treat; bijt I must, impartially confess that some of the company were somewhat in favour of the Blind Minstrel, which, 110 doubt, had a great weight on bis behalf with the Umpire. But Mr. Cimnah's taste, science, and elegance of performance, were superior to any thing I ever heard before on the harp. After a long- and severe contest, the. Silver Harp vvas adjudged to the Blind Minstrel, which certainly was contrary to Ihe expectation of those that were skilled in music. At Carnarvon there was not the least comparison with Mr. Cunnah's performance, which was truly enchanting ( see the subjoined account of the Eistedd- fod);* but such was the inflexibility of Mr. Richard Roberts's temper, that, in defiance of the Rev. Mr. Cotton, and Mr Loder, of Bath, lie would not hear a word iu favour of Mr Cunuah, and would have given ihe prize to John Morgan, one of the very worst performers of the eleven Minstrels. After two or three trials, Richard Roberts awarded the harp to William Hughes, to the great mortification of all present. The consequence vvas, that the company attending the meeting were so dissatisfied with the decision, that tbey immediately entered into a sub- scription to present Mr. Cunnah with a Medal and Chain, in testimony of their approbation of his great talents and merit as a performer on the Welsh Harp, which, no doubt, is very galling to the feelings of j the Old Minstrel. This flattering mark of respect reflects high honour upon those Ladies and Gentle- men of the county of Carnarvon, who stepped for- ward'in the behalf of Mr. Cunnab, and I sincerely trust that their conduct will be exemplary. I am, £> ir, Your obedient Servant, AMATEUR. Vale ofClwyd, Sept. 22, 1822. •* " Bards and Minstrels at Denbigh § St. Asaph. Societies have been formed for the purpose of pro- moting and preserving the purity of the Welsh Lan- guage. We are sorrv to learn that a kind of party spirit has arisen, in consequence of the Silver Harp not having been adjudged at Carnarvon Eisteddfod to Mr. Cunnah, of Rhuahon. Tbe CAMBRO- BRITON, of this month, thus notices this affair:— Richard Roberts, of Carnarvon, who gained the prize at Wrexham last year, was appoinied Umpire, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Cotton ( whoconducted the concerts), and Mr. Lodcr of Bath. The two last- mentioned gentlemen were decidedly of opinion that Mr. Cunnah was by far tbe most scientific performer, and that William Hughes was next in merit; but Richard Roberts would not hear a word of it, and wished to give the prize lo John Morgan. It was at length agreed that each should play a simple Welsh Air, without any variations, which vvas accordingly done, and Richard Roberts persisted that Mr. Cunnah drd not play in time; he, therefore, awarded the Medal to William Hughes. The cause of this partial de- cision may, perhaps, without difficulty be traced. Mr. Cunnah came in neck and neck with Roberts at Wrexham, which may have created in the old Minstrel sometliivig like Gmenwyn ( viz. Poison). As a proof lhat the audience were ofa different opinion, a subscription was immediately entered into, confined to five shillings each person, to purchase a Medal, or Piece of Plate, for Mr. C'uunah, as a compliment to bis talents PURUS, Denbighshire Auxiliary Bible Society. The Anniversary of this Institution was held in the ' County Hall, Ruthin, 011 the I61I1 ult. The attendaifce was very, numerous and highly respect- able. The Rev. Mr. Newcome ( Warden of Ruthin) took the chair, as President of the day, supported by the Rev. Dr. Stuart, the Rev. Mr. Roberts ( Dymeir- chion), Edward Jones, Esq.& c. See.— The Report bay- | ing been read by the Rev. Mr. Jones ( one of the Secre- taries), R. Humpllfyes Jones, Esq. moved that it should be adopted ; this motion was seconded by the Rev. Mr. Breese, in a very eloquent address. The Rev. JOHN LANGLEY, of Shrewsbury, said, that as one of the Representatives ofthe Parent Institution, he felt great pleasure in stating that the whole ofthe Meetings have, this year, been generally better at- tended than they were last year. He had made this remark in the course of the extensive tour which be had taken, and it was to him a subject of the highest satisfaction, when he recollected the prevalence of Agricultural Distress, and that the contributions, not- withstanding, had not decreased. It was truly cheer- ing to contemplate the alacrity with which the Land- ed Proprietors also ( although they had been in many instances compelled to reduce their expenditure) came forward and offered tbeir subscriptions at the same Altar, and united in forwarding the welfare of the Institution generally. As it must be interesting to those who heard him, to learn what had been done at the other County Meetings, he would slightly advert to them : At Carnarvon there was a most de- lightful Meeting. In the absence of the Mayor, Col. Parry took the Chair; and just as the proceedings had commenced, the High Sheriff entered the room, as he candidly declared, prejudiced against the principles of the Society ; but before the Assembly broke up, he handsomely came forward, and put down his name as a contributor, honourably acknow- ledging that what he had heard had entirely dissi- pated ihe objections he previously entertained.— ( Cheering)— It might be expected that he ( the Rev. Speaker) would give some account of the year's transactions of the Parent Society, bnt this had in a great measure been rendered unnecessary, from the excellent speech of the first speaker, and the Report by the worthy Secretary. For him, therefore, there remained merely the gleanings of the harvest.— Let it be remembered what was the object of the Society, and that its support was a duty due from a Christian Public. Every party iu Church and State should unite in its support, till its great end vvas accomplish- ed to the Glory of God,— nothing less than putting the Bible into every hand— of making its Divine Mysteries known to every soul, for whom the Saviour died !— The Bible Society was established, it would be ir. the recollection of all who heard him, at a time when every Civil Government was humbled, and more especially, every Religious Establishment trem- bled for its existence. Infidelity was making a rapid and terrible progress— Atheism already reared its frightful form,— when the Almighty put into the hands of England an instrument which would even- tually move the world.— We were not now tremblin Instead of apprehending that the Established Reli- gion, or that of Dissenters, was endangered,— all classes, all sects, now united in ihe dissemination of that Book which could alone make men wise unto Salvation. Ilovv uere the Clergy raised in the esti- mation of the world, and by what, but by tbe British and Foreign Bible Society ? for whenever they en- rolled themselves amongst its supporters, they were increased iu respectability, and stood on a vantage ground from which they could not be removed — for - they hav Christians in the holy bond of peace. ( Cheers.) There was no trembling now.— The Church was ex- tending itself to the utmost boundaries of the earth — she was lengthening her cords and strengthening her slakes to tiie world. Oh ! let us look at the pro- gress of her Missionary Society ; it was enlightening and Christianizing what was once degraded and en- slaved Africa ; and instead of being fnjulions, it was pouring out oil on the wheels of the Bible Society.— What would that Society have accomplished had it not been for the British and Foreign Bible So- ciety ? It supported and blessed all others, and in- jured none ! lie would point out what evils the So- ciety had not done : When first established, some people saw, or thought they saw, something in ill Constitution likely to be injurious to tbe Establish ment; but the Dissenters had precisely the same object iu the dissemination of the Scriptures as Ihe Churchman ; and it became him to state, from Ibe conviction of absolute facts, that it would be benefi- cial to the Establishment. Twenty years ago, some timid men hesitated to join the Bible Society, from a fear that, by uniting with Dissenters, the Church would be infured. Has it had that effect ? It had already been in full operation above eighteen years : has it injured the Establishment in any way? In his ( M r. Langley's) own parish, which contained a population of more than 8,000 souls, be must con- fess he was under great obligations to the operation of the Society. I11 such a parish, it was almost im- possible to enter into all tbe houses, or even in the most favoured it would he impracticable to supply the poor with Bibles, unless the Minister had access to the stores of the British and Foreign Bible Society. The Bible Society offered its Bibles to all denomina- tions of Christians, and who could lift up his hand against it?— In his parish he had found the Ladie the Kev. l5r. Stuart, the Rev. Mr. Roberts ( of Dymeirchion), the Rev. Mr. Edwards ( of Denbigh), & c. then addressed the meeting; after which Mr. Langley moved the thanks of the Meeting to the President ( Mr. Newcome), who returned his acknow- ledgments, and the assembly dispersed.

It was attempted by a Com- particularly to uotice the following, which, they mittee to investigate tbe state of the Parish, as it re- doubt not, upon Inspection, will be found consi- spected the Holy Scriptures; and it was ascertained, derablv lower than any Thing yet offered to the that although for seven years Bibles had been in Public in this Town course of distribution, yet not one half of the poor ! had been supplied with the Sacred Book. Since the j Ladies' Bible Association had been established, a ! marked improvement had takeh place in the attend- I ance of the poor at Church ; where five formerly at- j tended the Service, there were now a hundred ; and I within the last twefve months, from one hundred to two hundred pounds had been expended on obtaining additional accommodations for the poor. ( Hear) Let it be recollected, that the Bible Society was not benefiting the Establishment only. It has blessed all connected with it.— If the poor were better sup- plied with the Scriptures, they would be more regular iu attendance at Divine Service. Perhaps j not the least good it had done vvas, the near ap- j proximation of love and affection among sects differ- j ing from the Established Church — they all had a j common benefit in this collateral blessing, and it i sometimes prevailed in tbe various denominations of ! the Christian World. How much more comfortably I do Dissenters and Churchmen now meet?— Mutual ; jealousies are dying away, and the common bond of Christian unity will prevail. There vvas a time, when there was a chasm between them of a great width, and below a great gulf; bnt now tbe ap- proach was nearer— and all were subjugated by tlie influence of Christian love aud forbearance. We have a marercommunion with those from whom we formerly divided ; and if we did dill'er novvf it was amicably and in a Christian spirit. There was a time when wc looked upon all Dissenters as in arms ' against the Establishment, as if they were crying out, i " down witb her, down with her, even to the ground;" but bow happily different was it now, for he knew that there were many of those who differed in religi- ous opinions from him ( Mr. L.) still praying for the prosperity of our Jerusalem ( Hear.)— They prayed that the blessing of God may rest upon her; and they said 44 destroy her not, because a blessing is in l& r."

A young lady, uewlv married, being obliged to • how her husband all the letters she wrote, sent the following lo an intimate friend : " I cannot be satisfied, my dearest friend, blest as I am, in the matrimonial state, unless I pour into your friendly bosom, Which has ever been in unison with mine, the various sensations which swell, with the liveliest emotions of pleasure, my almost bursting heart. I tell you, iny dear husband is the most amiable of men. I have now been married seven weeks, and have never found the least reason to . repent the day that joined us. My husband is, both in person and manners, far from resembling ugly, cross, old, disagreeable, and jealous motiste. s, who think, by confining, to secure a wife. It is his maxim to treat as a bosom friend, olid not as a plaything, or menial slave, the woman of his choice. Neither party, lie savs, should always obey implicitly ; but each yield to the'otber by turns. An ancient maiden aunt, near seventy, a cheerful, venerable, und pleasant old lady, lives in the house with us ; she is the de- light of both young and old ; she is ci- vil to all thc neighbourhood round; generous and charitable to the poor. I am convinced my husband likes nothing more than he does me ; he flatters nie more than the glass ; and his intoxication ( for so I must call the excess of his love) often makes me blush for the unworthiness of its objcct, and wish I could be more deserving of ( lie man whose name I bear. To say all in one word, and to crown the whole, my former lover is now my indulgent husband ; my fondness is returned, and'I might have had a priuce, without the felicity 1 find in him. Adieu! may you be blessed as I am un- able to wish that 1 could be mare happy 1" N. B. The key to Ihe above letter ( in cipher) is, to read the first and then every alternate line only.

AGRICULTURE* At the request of several Agriculturists of emi- nence in this County, we copy the following letter, aud that the hest new wheat, weighing above 601b. per Winchester bushel, is offered at 6s. per 70lbs. or about 40s. per quarter ! Such a state of things speaks for itself, and requires no comment front any one. I think I have said enough to show that the ecently addressed to the Editor of a Daily Paper, ' great, if not the only, cause of the present very low and which, we are informed from a source of the prices, is excess of supply beyond demand.

For unless a J remedy can he found to restore the produce of th^ I soil, and of labour, to their cost or value ( of which remuneration to the producer must forma part), it appears quite impossible that the present scale of expenditure can be. much longer supported, or the Revenue collected which is founded upon it, and is required to make good the existing engagements, as well as to meet the future exigencies of the State. 41 With this view, it becomes a matter of grave and Ewes put to Rams in October, 1812.

The foreign demand for their goods continues to increase. The extreme cheapness of the raw materials of every description, the astonishing improvements in ma- chinery, and the moderate price of labour, enables them to sell their goods at lower rates than ever were before known, which increases the demand, and consequently their means of employing and remuner- ating their people. Poverty, then, does not exist among the consumers; they have no motive for, and therefore do not desire, the present excessive de- pression ; nor would such an advance as would pro duce any thing like remunerating prices, be injurious to them, though it might be attended wilh a small increase iu the price of labour, which, however, could only iii a fractional degree enhance the cost of their goods; ou the contrary, it is decidedly for their ultimate interests, that such an increase should take place. They must otherwise, ere long, be deprived I trust we shall ever maintain, with our gnnd faith I and public credit, our national honour, influence, and high station among the nations of the world. 44 I am well aware that. the doctrines I advance, and the remedies I suggest, are of an unpopular character, yet I do not shrink from advocating both, linked as I considf r them at present to be with the true interests of the country. Neither am I to learn, that were we relieved from our many public burdens, which are so extensive and complicated, that our industry and our ingenuity, our intelligence, our capital, and oiir enterprise, are such, as would at all times give, us debided advantages over every nation which niight enter the lists of agriculture, manu- facture, or commerce, in competition with us. But whilst these burdens remain, the means to meet and to bear them must be found ; they can only be se- cured fo the cultivator of the soil by protecting him in the home market, which it is his duty to supply for the general good, but at the same time so to regulate that supply, as to prevent his individual injury. If I should succeed in drawing his attention, or fixing it on the means I have suggested for attaining these objects in the present exigency, I shall consider myself fortunate— beyond the public interests I have no object, being neither a fundholder, or a grower, or a dealer in corn.

Tbe distance was four miles, and the stake 200 guineas. Ashton, the Lancashircman, was the favourite, until the time of starting, when the betting was 5 to 4, and 11 to 8, on Halton, the YorkshireiSan. They both ran remarkably well, making play three or four times. Halton made a severe push, and beat his antagonist at least 100 yards. The first two miles were ran in 10 mill. 25 seconds, and the race was completed in 20 min. 35 seconds. EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE.— On the S4th ull. a pony, only 13 linnds high, the property of a gentleman resident in Bridgnorth, started against • ime, carrying 11 stone, froin the New Hotel, Low Town, Bridgnorth, to the Toll Gate, at Wolverhamp- ton, where it waited while a ticket was tilled up, and then returned, finally accomplishing 28 miles overa sandy and hilly road, in 1 hour and 50 minutes. CORONER FOR WORCESTERSHIRE.— On Wednesday, the Election of n Coroner in Ihe room of the late vV. Godson, Esq. of Tenbury, came on at Worcester. Mr. Best, of Pershore, was proposed hy the Kxrl of Mountnorris, and seconded by T. Beale Cooper, Esq. and Mr. S. 11. Godson, of Tenbury, was proposed by T. S. Vernon, Esq. nud seconded by J. Phillips, Esq. A Poll was demanded, and continued till 5 o'clock ; when there appealed for Sir. Best 681; for Mr. Godson 228. Sir, Godson declined Ihe contest, as ( he freeholders appeared to consider Pershore the preferable situation for the coroner's residence. FATAI, ACCIDENTS.— Mrs Wilbraham, mother of G. Wilbraham, Esq. of Delamerc Lodge, Che- shire, was killed on the 9th ult. by the upsetting of her open carriage on the Romford Road : tbe horses had been frightened nnd had set oft' at full gallop, in consequence of the box on which the coachman sat having suddenly given way, and thrown the man off.— Miss Wilbraham was also much hurt. Thc Countess of Vizy, daughter of Sirs. Charles Lock, and grand- daughter of the Duchess of Lein- ster by her second' husband Mr. Ogilvic, was thrown down by a cart, which afterwards passed over her, in Boulogne, on the 19th ult. in conse- quence of which she died almost immediately. SUICIDE.— On the 15th instant, thc Rev. E. Dallied, who had been six years' tutor in lhe family of the Earl of Craven, and was highly respected as a scholar and a gentleman, was found in his dressing- room at Eton, with his throat cut.— A Coroner's Inquest was held : Verdict Insanity. MURDER.— On Friday night, the 13th instant, as Sir. John Brooks, son of Sirs. Brooks, of Ihe Blue Bell public- house, near Macclesfield, was returning from Macclesfield, he was slabbed in five places with some sharp instrument, when about 100 yards from home. Notwithstanding one of the blows pierced his heart and another his liver, he reached his 1110. tiler's door, and alarmed the family. His brother opened the door and found bim weltering in his blood : Ihe unfortunate voting man was just able to say, tbat he bad been stabbed by an Irishman, whom lie did nol know, and then expired.— A Coroner's Inquest has been held, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown" was returned.— The murderer has not yet beeu discovered. MURDEROUS AFFRAY AT CHIPPENHAM.— After a week's labour the proceedings before Mr Clare, the Coroner, were on Monday evening closed with a verdict of" Wilful Murder und Riot" against Henry Knight nnd John Matthews ( two reputable farmers', John Thomas, George Thomas, Thomas Pierce, Benjamin Sailer, jun. W111. Tanner, John Woodman, james Isaacs, William Bryant, James Tanner, jun.

The proportionate increase in the eleven years is a ® 7 to 5. been produced, as well ; i$ to endeavour to trace it to its source, I think it will now be admitted that very low prices may occasion general injury ; they can only originate iu one of two causes— poverty, or inability to purchase, on the part of the consumer; or continued excess of supply beyond consumption or demand. I am aware that other speculative theories have been suggested, to account for the present depression in prices. Mr. PeePs Rill, nnd the change in our currency, or circulating medium, have been put prominently forward by Cobbett and others, and charged with the evils that exist. But the fallacy of such doctrines is now, I believe, gene- rally admitted ; common sense, and the experience of practical men having, in a great degree, resumed j their usual ami general influence. It cannot be ! ed, that Mr. Peel's Bill has heen a dead letter j nee the hour of its enactment. The price of gold had fallen very considerably before the Bill was rought into the House for discussion ; the measures adopted, connected with our currency, were all uticipated, by the prices of the precious metals continuing to fall, as the balance due to us from our foreign trade brought them au increased supply, and the Bank had become almost the only purchasers of gold, the Mint being supplied through that channel at the standard price, whilst silver, from the want of demand, fell considerably under it. This must have been the case had Mr. PeePs Rill never heen even contemplated ; and, in tbe present state of our foreign rade, with exports so much exceeding our imports n value, the excess of gold, beyond what goes in loans to foreign states, must continue to be placed in the current circulation of the country, and, as it increases, will go gradually on to displace our Bank Notes or paper money, which must necessarily, though slowly, be withdrawn. 44 Where the extent or amount of our currency is imiuished, it is notorious to every one acquainted with the subject, that it is not from a want of supply, or disposition to issue ir, either ou the part of the Bank, or of wealthy individuals ( for in point of fact, money, as such, is unusually abundant), hut from a want of demand for it, occasioned by tlie difficulty of finding beneficial employment on the one hand, and he groat reduction that lias taken place iu the value of the produce of the soil, as well as of all d< scrip- ions of goods, on the other, which renders less capital or circulating medium necessary forthesame objects. From this fact there are a few exceptions, and they are the best for illustrating the causes of the present general depression : they are found in articles of which the supply has not exceeded the demand, and that are of a nature , which does not admit of sudden increase. In such articles a con siderable advance in price has taken place since the conclusion of the war. Of this fact, indigo and hides are striking instances; also coffee and siik, though iu a less degree. Of the two first our annual import is, I believe, not much short of four millions in value On these the changes, or state of our currency, have had no effect whatever; whilst, on the contrary, all articles susceptible of early and con- siderable increase in production, have gradually been falling in price, in consequence of the supplies anticipating, and regularly exceeding, the demand. The holders have continued to force them ou the market, either from a conviction that they could be produced with profit on still lower terms; or that doing so was more beneficial than any other cul- tivation or employment that could be found for tbe occupation of their labour or capital. Of articles so circumstanced, grain has formed a striking example. The high prices obtained during the war, and for some time subsequent, gave rise to opinions that the cultivation could not he carried beyond the consumption ; and also, that it was necessary, as well as prudent, to make ourselves at all times as independent as possible of foreign sup- ply, by extending it. The opinions were confirmed by the actual demand, which called for large supplies of foreign growth. These could not be obtained in quantity beyond what our wants required : with only a few short intervals this was the case for many successive years. Before such could he admitted, the law required that high prices should be estab- lished, and it generally happened that they continued to advance, rather than to decline, in the face of foreign import; so inadequate, for the time, was our home growth to our consumption. 44 Such a state of things produced an ardent desire, on the part of both proprietor nnd occupier, to ex- tend as much as possible the general cultivation: waste lands were everywhere placed under the plough at great expense ; many pastures expe- rienced the same fate ; to this was added the rapidly extending tillage of Ireland, with a great increase in the cultivation of potatoes ail over tbe kingdom. The waste of food also, attendant on a state of war, is in a great degree terminated. These combined causes, aided by favourable seasons, took, as it were, both grower and consumer by surprise— they first produced a supply equal to our consumption, and riuw an excess beyond it. The immediate conse- quence was fuller markets, which naturally produced greater desire to sell, and diminished disposition to buy. As it went on, the anxiety increased on the one side, and tbe reluctance on the other. The farmer, finding his produce increased in quantity, carried it in that proportion to market, where the supply thus exceeding tbe demand, the buyer could only be induced to purchase the excess by abate- ment in price; the more he was pressed to do so, the more he required the value should be reduced. This system has impoverished the farmers, and left them, generally, without an option, their wants compelling them to take their surpluses to market, and thus continue to force down the prices upon themselves. This, at last, became so common, that the more substantial farmers, who would not, in the " rst instance, submit to a system of regular reduction, at last appeared to lose all hope of better times: they went with the current, and submitted to their fate! The result of this continued excess of supply beyond demand, is the present almost unpreee- dentedJy low prices; and if no means can be found to stem the tide of depression, it seems impossible to estimate tbe extent of evil likely to be produced by it, in addition to what is now felt, not only by one great and important branch of the community, but in which, ere long, the whole will participate. " The present harvest is one of the earliest we have had for forty years. The last was unusually late; it was productive in quantity, but generally gathered in had condition. For this a remedy was found in the large surplus that then remained from the preceding crop; the consequence was, that not more than time to ten months* supply has been called for from the produce of 1821, which, if only equal to our annual consumption, and estimating that at twelve millions of quarters of wheat, must leave a surplus now on hand of near three millions of quar- ters, together with the present abundant crop, well harvested, and ready for immediate use. In addition to this, it must be recollected, that we never have received, or been able to collect, a foreign supply of wheat equal to two millions of quarters in any one year, at periods when high price was an object of much less importance than it is uow become. The con- sequence of all this is, that confidence in the future seems to he lost; and, therefore, increased anxiety to sell prevails on all sides. But additional buyers, or any beyond their immediate wants* cannot be found. Past experience appears to have satisfied them, that there is no end to the excess of supply, and that although prices may he lower in one week than in the preceding, they have no security that they will not be still lower in the next. I am well informed, that wheat of middling quality, such as the general average of the last crop ( and of which the stock here is extremely large), may now he bought iu this ( the Liverpool) market from 4s. to5s. per 701bs. equal to 27s. and 34s. per quarter ; and that a quantity of sueh as would make wholesome bread has just been sold by public sale at 3s. 9d. or a& eat 24 « . 6d. per quarter, iome inferior still lower, ous and valuable classof their customers—' the owners and occupiers of the soil ; and as their inability in- creases, in that proportion must the public burdens also fall heavier on those who have means left to bear them. " I admit that it is possible, in a great community like ours, that for a time tbe distress of even a con- siderable part may not affect the welfare of the rest; or that while one portion is suffering, though not exhausted, the other may experience increased pro- sperity, to which may aiso be imputed the present increased state of our Revenue ; but let us not de- ceive ourselves, for this in list have its limits.— The parties suffering will, to the last, cling to long- established habits of expenditure and indulgence; they will shrink from the idea of retrenchment; they will expend capital; they will contract debt; they will even exhaust credit, and resort to every means to put off the evil day, whilst the head can be kept above water, and whilst even a shadow of hope re- mains, rather than submit to the consequences of a voluntary and acknowledged change of circumstances and situation. That many are still exempt from this state, I cannot doubt; bnt such a struggle ii now going forward with many, and must, ere long, arrive at a crisis. The means of the landlord to assist his tenants, hy reduced rents or extended credit, are daily exhausting, without producing a beneficial re- sult. With his rents thus falling away, his difficulties increase ; his means are dilapidated, his feelings are lacerated, his place in society put to hazard, and his hopes of better times become daily more faint. " Thus iu no point of view are very low prices either desirable or beneficial, and wherever for a length of time they exist in a country, circumstanced os ours is, poverty, ond its consequences, must be produced. Such a slate is evidently incompatible with the artificial situation in which we are placed, since it is impossible, with such diminished means, to continue to raise a revenue of near sixty millions, nor can it be done hut by keeping down the value of money, and consequently raising that of produce and of labour, from which only the revenue can ulti- mately be drawn. 44 This brings me to the more immediate object of this letter— to inquire whether any, and if any, what remedy can he found to meet, or to diminish, so alarming nn evil. 1 have shewn that our agricultural cultivation has been pushed beyond the consumption, and that as no export market can he found which would afford any relief, no improvement can be entertained under this system. With these facts before us, the only remedy seems to present itself in tbe shape of diminished cultivation. It is only hy sowing less seed, that excess of supply can he re- strained : and this must now be resorted to, if ruin is to be averted. In that case more land will lie fallow, less manure will be required, and less ex- pense incurred by the farmer. It behoves the land- lords every where, os well as their tenantry, to look to this, and to apply the axe to the root, if they will he saved from destruction. When the period for sowing is past, if it should then be ascertained that it has generally been so limited and reduced, that, with an ordinary season, the produce will rather be within, than ahove, the consumption of the ensuing year, confidence will be restored, and improvement in price will follow. Safety is all that is wanted to produce it: witness the great advance that took place last October, when the heavy rains caused apprehensions to be entertained for the fate of the harvest, and prices became more than double what they are to- day. The expectations of a permanent advance were not, however, realized; they were defeated by the change which followed, and with the more favourable conclusion of the harvest, prices relapsed, and have since continued to decline week- ly. It is then clear that no assurance of safety can be found in the present state of things; hut with a produce and supply not exceeding the demand, whilst it kept pace with it, both landlord aud farmer would then look forward to better times. If means are not used to arrest the evil, it will ultimately bring the farmer to this point; but in place of being, as it now is, a matter of choice to obtain safety, the evil will then he forced upon him by necessity, and a total inability to struggle against it. This ruin will cause diminished production, without the ability to regulate or restore it, when bis means are gone. The state of the country may then become inch as to give ample cause of serious alarm for future safety. Experience has taught us, that in seasons of great deficiency, a sufficient quantily of corn of foreign growth cannot he obtained to make it good, and that it was only the privation and economy, which high prices occasion, that carried us, in former times, over seasons of scarcity. But be it remembered, it was scarcity, produced by adverse seasons, and not by such evils as I am now occupied in deprecating. 44 Were it necessary fro illustrate the ease before us, it might he done by what took place in Bengal about five years ago. Tbe cultivation of the Indigo plant had been carried to such an extent in that province, as almost to cause its being abandoned everywhere else, and it had at last arrived at the point of production and supply beyond consumption, which was followed by low and ruinous prices, fn consequence, the agents of the planters resident in Calcutta, in order to avert impending ruin, repre- sented to them the necessity for a restricted cultiva- tion and manufacture, and they offered to advance money sufficient to accomplish it. The consequence was, that tbe smaller and less productive plantations were purchased for the general account, the lands were employed for other objects, and the more con- siderable planters limited their produce within given hounds. The result then was, that the supply, in place of exceeding, became within, the demand, aud the consequence has been nn advance in price within the two last years of full fifty per cent, which affords ample remuneration to the planters and manufacturers. So much for the different effects of an excessive and well regulated supply. It is true such menus cannot he practically applied here to produce it, but the general interests of the parties, so much and deeply interested, should produce a simultaneous movement for effecting it. I have already said that the only human remedy for the existing evil is in the hands of the farmers and their landlords. It is in vain to look to Parlia- ment for that relief which the Legislature have not to give, and equally so to bewilder themselves in the wild and untenable theories of Mr. Webb Hall, or the gloomy predictions, revolutionary principles, and projected breach of public faith, recommended by Mr. Cobbett. If this country produces enough to supply herself, any importation, however heavy the duty may be to which it is subjected, must he in the way of, and therefore injurious to, the home- grower; and if enough is not produced to meet the consump- tion, with a sufficient legal limit in price to guard against undue importation of foreign growth, when such is required to moke good the deficiency, it is alike impolitic and unjust to load the consumer with duty, in addition to tbe high price he must then pay to the foreign grower, besides other heavy additional charges. J think it is a delusion to expect that he would practically submit to do so without strong and unceasing remonstrance ; and though the Bill of the last Session was permitted to pass, it was looked upon more as a nugatory, than an effective, measure ; perfectly prospective, aud not at all likely to he brought into operation under the present system, notwithstanding all the time and attention that was so fruitlessly devoted to it. u . lt is not less vain than mischievous to hope, that Mr. Cobbett's predictions are to be realized by the extinction of the capital, or the forcible reduction of the interest payable on the public debt. Nothing less than great and universal distress can ever produce such a compromise of our honourand good faith, whilst nothing short of national disability could in any degree justify resorting to either. Such a state of things is neither to be contemplated or I feared, if we are true to ourselves; but on the con- trary, by a judiciow use of our iuii? iens « resources, Hereford Music Meeting. [ FRO** THE HEREFORD JOURNAL.] The Sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. Garbett, on Tuesday morning, as we have already stated, was most appropriate to the occasion. The Rev. Gentle- man chose his text from 5th chap. 3d verse of La- mentations, 44 IVe are orphans and fatherless, o xr mothers are as zvidows," anil eloquently arid im- pressively pleaded the cause of the noble Charity, for which he appeared the holy advocate. He was heard with tbe deepest attention, and bis able dis- course made a suitable impression upon all present. In the Anthem composed hy Dr. Boyee, Blessed is he who considereth the poor and needy," Miss Travis Messrs. Knyvett, Vaughan, Rolle, and Bellamy, were admirably impressive, and the effect of the full and excellent Band, particularly the trumpets by Harper and Hyde, jun. was grand in the extreme. The collection at the door amounted to £ 170. 9s. 6d. The Concert at the Shire- Hall in the evening, at- tracted as full an attendance of company as we have usually witnessed the first night. The appearance of Mrs. Salmon, Miss Stephens, ond the rest of the performers, was greeted with repeated plaudits, and the hearty welcome received w ith grateful acknow- ledgments. 44 Jcis and Galatea" was delightfully performed, the chorusses were, particularly fine, and the vocal and instrumental performers alike iu tune. The Scots air 44 O Waly ! Waly !" harmonized by Dr. Clarke Whitfeld was given with the sweetest harmony, by Miss Travis, Messrs Knyvett, Iiol. le, and Vaughan, and deservedly encored. Mrs. Salmon saTig tbe Aria 44 Una Voce," and 44 My Lodgings," with her usual unrivalled talent, and received the merited applause of all present. On Wednesday morning the Messiah was performed at the Cathedral with all that fineness of effect this sublime composition isi so eminently calculated to display; and, as usual, it was fully attended. The Overture was particularly excellent, and the com- plete and skilful band swelled the noblest graces of harmony through tiie vaulted aisles of the Cathedral, with astonishing grandeur and solemnity. The whole performance was alike pre- eminent, and gratifying to the splendid audience present — The Chorusses were singularly impressive, and the merits of the performers justly entitled them to the general and rapturous approbation elicited by their exertions. The Grand Miscellaneous Concert in the evening, owing to the influx of company during the day, was expected to be a bumper, und the event justified the general anticipation. At au early hour the great room in the Shire Hall was completely filled with rank and fashion, and many were obliged Jo stand during the performance. The Overture to Lodoiska opened the Concert, and was admirably performed The air by Bellamy 44 Arise, ye SubterraneanWinds,' and the air by Miss Travis, 44 Come unto these yellow sands," were given with the best effect, as was also the accompanying chorus. The air by Knyvett 44 Full fathom Jive," was excellent, particularly tbe concluding lines of the song. A Quintetto by our old and respectable favourites, Cramer, Marshall, Ashley, W. Lindley, and R. Lindley, displayed their nnrivai led powers, and further comment is unnecessary ; the same may he said of a Concerto on the Oboe by Griesbach— the whole was a rich treat to all present. The air by Vaughan 44 Softly rise," was given in his sweetest style, aud the music in the chorus was beau- tiful. A Duetto by Mrs. Salmon and Miss Stephens ( Figaro), Mozart, 44 SuW aria" Was encored, and the repetition greeted with the most enthusiastic appro- bation. The second act began with the grand Sym- phony ( No. 1.) Mozart, and full justice was done to the noble composition. 44 Tweed Side," a glee, for five voices, harmonized expressly for the occasion hy Dr. C. Whitfeld, was sting by Mrs. Salmon, Miss Travis, and Messrs. Vaughan, Knyvett, and Rolle, with a delightful harmony, which those who heard it alone can estimate, it was deservedly encored, and heard with increased pleasure and approbation. Miss Stephens gave the Aria from Giovanni, in her usual style of excellence, as also did Mrs, Salmon Handel's Recit. from II Penseroso 44 Hence, vain de- luding joys." A song by Bellamy, 44 Lascia Amor," was justly admired. The Concert concluded amidst repeated manifestations of the highest satisfaction from the brilliant assemblage of company. Thursday.— The Grand Selection to be performed at the Cathedral this day excited unusual expecta- tion, owing to the announcement of a new piece of Sacred Music, 44 The Crucifixion," composed by Dr. Clarke Whitfeld. The acknowledged talents of tbe author, joined to the high character the produc- tion had received from the performers, who had an opportunity of estimating its merits during rehearsal, had raised public curiosity, and in consequence the Cathedral was crowded at an early hour. There was an affecting circumstance also connected with this piece, whieh gave it a peculiar interest with those who were apprised of its origin, for we understand it was composed, when the mind, sufferingunder the af- fliction caused by the death ofa beloved son,* sought relief from tbe consolations of religion, and the sooth- ings of sacred harmony. The opening by Bellamy, 44 When Jesus ivas come nigh," was very effective, and the Chorus which followed, 44 Hosannah to the Son of David," extremely grand. Miss Stephens gave the Recit. 44 And when he ivas come near, he beheld the city and wept over it" with all the sweet- ness which belonged to it. The air by Vaughan, ( i My soul is exceedingly sorrowful," was also ex- cellent. The Chornsses, 44 Away with him," and 44 IVe have a law," were grand and affecting in the extreme, and the whole composition abounded with beauties. The concluding Quintetto and Chorus is a noble, composition, and excited strong emotions in all pre- sent. This piece may justly be said to equal the best productions of Handel in some of the parts, where the music was truly sublime, and the whole reflects the highest credit upon tbe composer— in one pas- sage Dr. Whitfeld was so affected by the 44 harmony himself had made," that for a moment he seemed lost in that intensity of feeling and mournful recol- lection the scene was so calculated to inspire. The applause and admiration testified by tbe company and performers were a fluttering testimony to the merits of this fine composition, and must have been highly gratifying to Dr. Whitfeld.— The 4< Creation" and a fine 44 Selection" followed, in which the Per- formers, vocal and instrumental, supported their high character for ull that is excellent iu their several de- partments, & the whole concluded amidst the plaudits of their delighted auditors.— This evening the Concert Room was again completely filled. The symphony, and the air by Rolle, 44 Revenge, Revenge, Timotheus cries," were received with great applause. The Scena, from theLay ofthe Last Minstrel, composed by Dr. Whitfeld, was fiuely sung by MissTravis, Messrs. Knyvett, Vaughan, Rolle, and Bellamy; in the air 4* Tears of an imprisoned Maid" Miss Travis, was encored. The whole composition was excellent and most beautifully sung. A new MS. Cantata by R. Lindley, tlie words by W. I- Cendal, followed, em- bellished with all the sweetness of harmony Vaughan never fuils to impart to his songs; the verse * 4 At Julia's name the Graces rise" would have charmed the Graces themselves.--- 44 Cease yourfunning " with variations, was finely sung by Mrs. Salmon, and en- cored amidst thunders of applause, ns was also a Glee hy Miss Stephens, Messrs. VaUghan, Knyvett and Bellamy The Scena, 44 Tutto < i siienzoi" by Miss Stephens, and the Finale ( Ut Act of Cosi fan tuttis Mozart) 44 Dove son" hy Mrs. Salmon, Miss Stephens, Miss Travis, and Vaughan, Rolle, and Bellamy were charming. The overture Anacreon, Ciierubi. nl, com- menced the second aet, and received deserved ap- probation. 44 Come if you dare," was sung by Vaughan with fine effect., and the Chorus 44' Now the Victory's icon," was particularly excellent in the last verse. Miss Travis gave44 Tranquillo io son" with much sweetness, and received flattering testimonies of approbation. Lindley performed a concerto on the Violoncello, embellished with all the beauties this extraordinary performer imparts to enrapture his auditors, and mingling with his more elaborate graces those simple melodies which are so grateful to the untutored ear of nature; his performance was received with almost breathless enthusiasm by hie entranced hearers, and never was this son of harmon? iu finer tune. The applause which followed his ex'~ traordinary performance lasted several minutes, and our old friend Cramer, the very soul of harmony him- self, appeared unusually delighted with it. Miss Stephens, by particular desire, substituted the song 44 We're a noddin" for one she was to have given, and the alteration afforded much pleasure; ft wos sweetly sting, and encored. The concluding sotfo* by Vaiighan, Miss Stephens, Mrs. Salmon, afforded the utmost satisfaction, and the national Anthem' 44God save the King," was sung by all the performers accompanied by the full Band in the grandest style, the Concert concluding amidst reiterated peals of applause aud approbation from all the company. The Ball each evening was kept up with great spirit and on the second night two sets of quadrille dancers displayed great proficiency iu the mazy intricacies of the elegant amusement. The performers, vocal and instrumental, must each day have felt the most flat- tering gratification at the meed of approbation so generally manifested by the numerous and elegant audiences who witnessed with delight their exertions. —• Miss Stephens and . Mrs. Salmon are already so well* known tbat praise is superfluous, they were excel- lent in every thing. Miss Travis is* a delightful singer, simple, natural, and correct, with a sweet voice, and was deservedly a favourite. Messrs. Kny- vetts, Vaughan, Bellamy, and Rolle, supported tbeir former fame, and their exertions were crowned with applause. Our old and respected friend Cramer led the hand with all the fire and animation of his hest days. Time seemed to have shed his snows lightly on his bead, and loftg may he live to enjoy the repu- tation so deservedly awarded to him. Lindley seemed in excellent health, and his wonderful performances afforded their usual pleasure to all who were so happy as to hear him ; his hand was as, firm as ever, ond his harmony 44 sweet as the song of angels., r The same praise may apply to the rest of the per- formers in their several departments. Mr. Mutlow presided at the piano- f « » rte, and Mr. Clarke at the organ. The whole of the arrangements were con- ducted by Dr. Clarke Whitfeld^ and ibe striking talent exhibited in his compositions, and the excel- lence of the selections each day gained him the most grateful manifestations of esteem ond approbation from the Stewards and the highly respectable com- pany, which we think was more numerous than we have cv^ r witnessed. The politeness and indefatigable attentions of the Stewards were the just thenie of general eulogy and gratefully acknowledged by the company. We regret severe indisposition confined our excellent Bishop to his Palace during the Festival, but his kind anxiety to contribute to the gratification of the company, aud his hospitable attentions to numerous parties of visi- tors, were unceasing. The ordinaries were well at- tended, the refreshments furnished at the Shire Hall, by Mr. Woodyatt, Confectioner, and Mr. Price of the Sun Tavern, were excellent, and the support the meeting experienced exceeded the most sanguine expectations. The collections each day were as follow, and must afford the greatest gratification . to the benevolent friends of the excellent charity thisy are intended to support i £ s, d.

On Thursday morning Mrs. Greenly, of Titley, placed .£ 50 on ihe plate. The Stewards for next Meeting are our worthy Dean, Dr. Carr; The Rev H. Weiberell, [ Vicar of Thruxton ; and ihe Kev. Mr. Hiintingford. The Iny Stewards we believe are not definitively fixed, hu'' report states F. B Patesbalj, Esq ; T. II. Symons, Esq. and pio'bably Lord Harley, as likely to fill Ihe situations. There nre two circumstances connected with this Sleeting, which are so honourable to the parlies, we cannot refrain from mentioning them. In conse- quence of the death of Dr. Ilanningtoti, our worthy venerable Bishop, unsolicited, generously signified his wish to fill the situntion his lamented friend was to have occupied; and the unexpected absence of I, ord Harley, one of the Stewards, ( who we have heard was suddenly summoned to attend a sister in France, suffering under extreme illness) having occasioned some difficulty, with the prospect of ad- ditional expense to Ihe other Stewards, John Ark- wriglit, Esq. promptly and liberally nffired to lake, the place his Lordship ought to have occupied, and the cheerful and highly generous tender of his services and his purse, was most gratefully accepted. The Stewards therefore were the Lord Bishop of lhe Diocese, The Rev. Canon Hobnrt, The Kev. II. Walond— E. Poole, Esq. J. L. SendunVore, Esq. and Johu Arkw right, Esq. Earl Grey has recently communicated to his numerous tenantry in Northuifiberland and North Durham, his intention lo remit 20 per cent, of all his rents from Martinmas, 1821. Rubens's celebrated portrait of a lady, which if known by the name of the Chapeau dc Paile, re. cently purchased in Holland fur £ 2,000, and brought to this country, now forms an additional gem of art in his Majesty's unique collection of the works of the old masters. The executor of the Rev. Peter Bcauvoir, late of Downham- Hall, in the county of Essex, paid last week the sum of £ 38,000 to the Stamp- Office, being thc duty on £ 720,000 payable to the residu- ary legatee, Richard Benyon, now Richard Bcnyon de Bcauvoir. This fortunate legatee was no relation to the testator. Above £ 50,000 were otherwise left in legacies. The immense property was bequeathed by the testator independent of hitf freehold estates, which are of considerable value. In addition to this prodigious wraith, the testator possessed, and retained till the day of his death, a living of £ 300 a year! John M'Lachlan, Esq. formerly teacher of ma- thematics in Glasgow, who died in spring last in Calculta, has bequeathed a handsome legacy, sup- posed to be about £ 20,000, the residue of his fortune, for the establishment of free schools in Glasgow for the education of male and femalo children of poor Highlanders residing in and about that city, and supplying books and stationary ti> those who are not able to purchase them. Thc boys besides a grammatical knowledge of the English language, are to be taught w riting, arithmetic, and book- keeping; the girls, besides a proper know- ledge of the English language, writing, and the first five common rules of arithmetic, are to he instructed iu needle- work, and such other useful employments as may enable them to gel an honest livelihood after leaving school. WANSTEAD HOUSE, LATE THF. PROPERTV of Sir. WM. LONG WEI. LESI. EY POLE.— Wednesday was the Inst day of sale of the nriicles which once adorned this splendid mansion. Thewalisare nearly hnre, and stripped of their late costly relics, A melancholy gloom pervaded the mansion, and ex- hibited a striking example of the mutability of human greatness. The company consisted of about forty persons, and exhibited very little of the spirit of a public sale. The lols consisted chiefly of china, glass, and painted windows, & c. from Ihe cottage nnd grotto, villi a few vuses from the American garden. In a short time the house will be sold nnd pulled down, aud everv vestige of its foi tiler splendour dispersed, aud may be compared to Canons ( which rose and vanished in Ihe last century), thc seal of ihe first Duke of Chnudos, whose fute Pope foretold in bis Moral Essays, thus " Another uge shall see Ihe polden ear Iinhrown the slope, and nod on the parterre* Deep harvest bury all his pride had plann'd,' And laughing Ceres renssuuie the land."
