Allan, Advocate in Aberdeen. Aberdeen, October 17, 1322- THE REFLECTOR, No. III. BY ANTHONY OLDCASTLE, ESQ. IIONOITAHY MEMBER OF TUB PERTH ANTIQUARIAN S0C1 ETY- THE BTDttiG OF THE L A NT) TM YR S. IF I were not a little afraid of irritating the feelings of £ t certain order of tliimskinncd beings." called Authors, I< would be inclined to send you a few critical remarks on some historical works, which have of late made their appearance in this city. The works to which 1 allude, are the productions' of gentlemen of acknowledged learning and talent,' they ate the fruit of " dry, patient, and laborious research," and they have been brought forwa- d in a stile which claims the thanks ofthe inhabitants of Aberdeen; but as , t hey are thte Work of - mortal men, they cannot lay claim to perfection, and I trust, the authors will forgive me, if I now and then am called upon to poiotont some of their deficiencies and redundancies. Ou whatever subject an author may write, bits ruling pas- sion may almost always be distinctly traced. * If lie is handling a moral subject, it will be sufficiently obvious; if a critical, it may be discovered by the spirit of h'is strictures and the nature of hrs illustrations ; and if he is engaged on a historical or sta- tistical work, his tiatural taste will be distinctly manifested, by the ample manner in which he treats some branches of his subject, whili others are comparatively disregarded. Thus, in that great work, the Annals of Aberdeen, no one could avoid observing the degree of attention that is paid to matters, of which it is the especial province of the Kirk Session to take cognizance ; and in the Historical Delineation, recently pub- lished, twice as much space is occupied with an account of re- ligious denominations antl religious societies, as with the history of the city, from the earliest ages to the present day Now, these circumstances, although they distinctly point out the propensities of the different authors, cannot but be un- satisfactory to general readers. For instance, how many per- sons are there in Aberdeen, who care one farthing about be- ing informed, that on the " i 4th November, 1562, John Davidson, who was complained of- by his wife for' non- adher- ence, was ordained- to be committed to the Steeple,"'— that Elspet Murray waff carted and banished from- the town, be- cause she was a notoriousbordelier"— or whether peats, coals, or tar barrels were used at the burning of Janet" Wistihart and . Isobel Cockie, for the heinous crime of witchcraft. Or, on the other hand, who but a member of the Wesleyan con- • neciion will be interested to know, that Mr; Hopper was suc- ceeded by Mr, Kershaw, Mr. Kershaw" by Mr. Fugill, Mr. Fugill by Mr. Hanhy, or that the late Mr. Ewin was in- debted for the elevated rank which he held in society,- to his . having been a Methodist. Yet such matters are treated of at great length in the works referred to, while other subjects, which would be much - more generally interesting, are passed over- unnoticed. • The ancient custom of riding the marches is not mentioned in the Delineation, and the author of the Annals merely says, that ilfta & cusjtbm for many ages, wbserved fftmUally, by the Magistrates, in order to see iliat no encroachment had been . made oil their boundaries by counterminons proprietors, and on those occasions, some of the youngest Burgesses were forced, a • posteriori, against certain flat stones, that they might in future the more distinctly recollect the situation in which those stones were placed. As the property of the Burgh has been alienated, this custom lias gradually fallen into disuse ; and in- deed, it would be rather a work of supererogation for gentle- men to ride marches, who have no marches to ride. When I first had tbt honour of sitting at the Council Board, ill the honourable office of Master of Guild Brethren's Hospital. I looked forward, with some degree of anxiety, lo the last Saturday of August, the day which use and wont had consecrated to this important ceremony. I made early ap- plication at Burnett's, for a steady surefooted Galloway, that would not be ceremonious about the kind of roads he might have to travel, and took several lessons in bog- trotting and ditch- leaping, at Canny- sweets Pot. in the Old Town Links. The day at length arrived; and the clatter of hoofs as Ihe party wended its way through the labyrinth of- middings that occupied tbe Broad Street, brought many an anxious face to tbe windows— shop doors being at that time considerably less numerous than they are now. We proceeded gallantly along, over mountain, moss, and muir, the proper officer every now and then applying the guage to ihe circular cavity, which is the distinguishing mark of tbe march stones of'the Burgh of Aberdeen. Every tiling was- found perfectly correct, and we arrived at the Farm- bouse of Dvkeside, where we were to dine, without any more serious accident having befallen lis, than the pitching of Baillie Sma'shank's cocket hat and periwig into a peat pot, by an unexpected dcmi- volt of . his pouey. The servant- maid was entrusted with the hat and wig, with parti- cular orders to get them properly dried ; and the Baillie sat down to dinner,- dressed in a night- cap of our landlord's. Substantial justice was done to the hotch- potch haggis, fowl- i'- bree, and other excellent viands of w- hich our dinner was composed, and when it was finished, an immense bowl of brandy punch was manufactured in all due form. We drank to King George— to the Duke ( par excellence, meaning there- by his Grace of Cumberland)' and confusion to the. Popish Pretender. The toast of " Prosperity to the Royal Burghs of Scotland," called forth an eulogium on their undeviating loyalty and " Success to the Seven Trades," elicited a speech of ac- knowledgment from Deacon Jointer the Cooper, who was a Trades Councillor. at that time, aud an unfailing attender on all convivial occasions. Councillor Kidnap'em drank success to his Majesty's arms, and may Providence cover the heads of our soldiers and sailors on the day of battle. " Speakin' of co- vering heads," said Deacon Jointer, " I'll go anJ see if the Baillie's wig be dry, for it's a pity to see the honest man sittin' there like a hellicat weaver." Deacon Thrum thought this was something of a personal reflection, and. would have re- monstrated, but. the Provost quashed the matter by drinking to " All lawful travellers." Di nna forget to say by land and water, my Lord,*' said the Cooper, who re- entered at that instant, " for gude safe us ! see sic a sight as the Baillie's peri- wig is. The feeiiah tiling o' a lassie tet it to the fire to dry, and it's shrunk up to sic a degree, that it wailna gae ot> o'the bead ofa Poker, besides on the head o'a Baiilie." The unfortu- nate Magistrate was condoled with oil the loss ; pud to pro- mote the hilarity of the company. Deacon Jointer was einled upon for a song. The Deacon excused himself, by saying, *• My Lord and Gentlemen, ye a' ken vera well, that I'm a good hand at a stave, and that I wadna seek to excuse myself without reason, but 1 really canna sing the day. If it wcrna for this cursed roup at my breast, I would let you hear some- thing worth the pains " " Some o' crook- mou'd- Cliarlie'sf Jacobitical trash, I suppose," said Deacon Thrum.

But sii> ce my etitent is chicflie to make report of tfie manner of their demeanors from the prison to tbe Arraignment and from thence to Execution, I wiil truly set dow- ne, what I llav ® gathered, touching the same. After their apprehension in tin/ countrie, and brought up to Loudon, upon the appoarttnea ot their foule treason, before his Majestic'* most Honorable C- MIH- cell, - tiM'y were by their- cominanndeinent committed to his Mnjestie's Tower of London, where they Wanted m> ti » ing, that, in the mercy of a Christian prince, was thought ti , and indeed too good for so unchristian offenders. For in the time of their impris'onnieiit they seemed to feels no pitt of feare,. either of the wrath i f God, the doqme ot' Justice, or the shame of Si one J hut sis' it- were, with seared consciences, senseless of grace, lived, as nut looking fo die. or not feeling tho sorrow of ilreir siimes; and now that no subtile foxe, or rather goose that would faiiie seame it foxe, shall have cause to say or tliinke, that the Justice of the Law? bath not bceno truly minfistred, according" to the rules of the Divine Will, behold here a true I'efdrt, as I said before, of their behaviour, - aud carriage, from their apprehension to their imprisonment; and from condemnation to tireir execution,—. In the lime of their imprisonment, they rather feasted with their simies, lhan fasted With soriow for tliem ; were richly apparelled, fared dfdk'ioLl- ly, and tooke tobacco out of measure with a seeming carelessnesse of their crime, as it were darin r tbe Lawe to passe- upon them; but the Almigbtie, and our most mercifull good God first revealed them, his Majesties ami his Couiwsilescareful! head apprehended them, the Law plainly did discipher ttietrf. Ju. tl e gave judgment on them, and Death made an end of them, iiti: to come to theirrlrraignme. it, and to deliver the manner of their behaviour. After they went froin the Tower by water and e. iuie to Westminster before they came into the ball, they made some hal'e howrs's slay, or more in the Star Chamber ; whi li. r being brought, and remaining tii tlie court lias all ready to heare them, and according to the lavve give judgement on them, it vi- as strange to note their car- riage even on their very countenances; some Iwngin^ downe the Iteade. as if their Iroartes fcere full of dogged, es, and other forcing a steme lobke, as if they would fea e death, with a frowne, never seeming to pray, except it were by the d. 3!.' i>, upon their beades, and taking tobacco, asiffluit hanging weie no trouble to thtm, Saying little but in commendition ot'the. r conceited religion,' craving mercy of neyther God nor the King for their offences, a'nd making tfleif consciences, as t were, v » wide as the worlde ; and to the vi ry gates of lull, to be ( hj cause of their hellish'coures to r.-. rke a vorke meritorious. Now being come into the f/ n* JL and Upon the scaffold at tha barre standing to afistvere to their indiciiheiits, they all pliltded not <*- tiiltie ; tut'were all found guiltie. D ghi;-,- without craving, mercie, or favour.- of eithsr Ood or the King, made only live u- ordly. requests; that his wire might have hcrjoiutct ; his children the lands intailed, by his fati er ; his sisters, t ieir legacies in bis band unpaid ; hi. » debts paid*.;- and for his dea: h, to be beheaded ahd dot hang- ed j Robert Winter in like manner thinkein^ himselfe a! rfitdi » . halfe a saint tor his whole villatnie, said iiitie to any purpose that eyther made slreiv ot tWri| o' « , of sought iflercy, hut oniy made a re- juest to ( he King tor m- ercy towards his » > n » her, in legarde of Iris otl'enne, as- he stilde, through hi* onely pert*,*, son.

HuckuVod. out of a studied speech. would f iilie have lilidc bis bringing uppe and breeding in idolatrie to have been some excuse to his vilianie ; hut ti faire tafke rould not helpe a towle deed ; and therefore, being found gtiiltie ot the treason, had bis judgement Willi tile rest of the traytors. Now after their condemnation and judgement, being sent backe to the Tower, there they remained till the Thursday i following ; upon sleddes and hurdlsjs they were drawne into Ponies Chnrchyeartle : Fowre of them, viz Everarde Digbie, the elder Winter, Grauiit, and Bates, of whome Iforgatto speake, having no great matter to speake of, bill only that being a vilhiiuie, anil hoping of advancement by the same, he had the reward of a traytor. Now these foure, being drawn to the scatFolde, made one purpose for their execution : — First went up Digbie. a man of a goodly personage, and a manly aspect; yet misfit a warie eye, in the change of his countenance, beholdean inwarde fear of death; for his colotir grew pale and his vie heavie ; not- withstanding that bee enforced him selfe to speake as stoutly as bee could, his speech was not long and to little good purpose, onely that his belied con cience, being but indeed a blinded conceit, had led him into this offence, w hich in respect of his Religion ( nlias indeede idolatrie) bee held no offence but in" respect ofthe Law be held an offence, for Which be asked for- givenesse of God, of the King, and the wtiole Kingdome ; and so with vaine aud superstitions crossing of himselfe, be- tooke him to his Latine prayers, inun, tiling to himselfe. re- fusing to have any prayers of any. but ofthe Romish catholicks, went up the ladder, and, with the helpe of the hangman, made an end of his wicked daies in this world. After him, went Winter up tjo the scaffnlde. where he used few words to anie good effect; without asking merci* of either God or the King for his offence, went up the ladder, and making a few prayers to himselfe, staid not long for his execution. After him went Graunt. who abhominably blinded with his horrible idolatrie, though he confessed his offence to bee hainous yet would faioe have excused it hy his conscience, for religion; a bloodie religion, to make so bloody a conscience! but better that his bloode, and all such as he was. should be shed by the justice of law, then the blooile of many thousandes to h- ave been shedde by his vilianie, without law or justice ! But to the purpose : having used a fewe idle wordes, to ill effect, bee was, as his fellowes before him, ledde the way to the halter— and so, after bis dossing of himselfe, to the last part of his tragedie. Last of . them came Bates, who seemed sorry for his offence, and ,- isked forgiveness of God, and the King, and of the whole Kingdome; prayed to God for the preservation of tllem all, and as bee sayed, only for his love to his inaisler, drawne to forget his duety to God, his King and Countrie ; and there- fore was now drawne from the Tower to Paules Churcbyeard, and there hanged and quartered for his troaiherie. I'll us en- ded that daye's business. The next day, being Friday, were drawne from the Tower to Ihe old Palace io Westminster over against the Parliament House, Thomas Winter, the younger brother. Ruckewoodc, (.' ayes, and Faulkes the miner, justly called the Devill ofthe Vault : for had he not beetle a devill incarnate, lie had never conceived so viilanous a thought, nor been employed in so damnable an action. The next day being Fri. lay, were drawne from the Tower to the olde Palace in Westminster, Thomas Winter, Rooke- wc o le. C. iies. and Faulkes ; where Winter first being brough t to the scatfolde, made little speech, but seeming after a sort as it were sorry for his offence, and yet crossing himself, as though those were wordes to pot by the devill's stoccadoes, having already made a wound in his soule, of which he had not yet a full feeling, protesting to die a true catholicke, as bee said with a very pale and dead colour, went uppe the ladder, and after a swing or two with the halter, to the quartering block was drawn, and there was quickly dispatched. Nex: him came Ruckwood, who made a speech of some longer time, confessing his offence to God, in seeking to shedde blood, and asking therefore mercy of his divine Majestie, his offence to tbe King, of whose Majestie bee likewise humbly asked forgiveness, his offence to the whole State, of whom in general! he asked forgivenesse, beseeching Gotl to bless the King, the Queer, and all his royall progenie, and that they might long live to reigne in peace and happiness over this Kingdom : but la t of all. to marre all the potlage with one filthy weede, to mar this good prayers with an il conclusion, lie praied God to make the king a catholicke. otherwise a pa- piste; ( which God for his mercy ever for!. id !) and so beseech- ing tbe king to bee good to his w ife and children, protesting to die in his idolatry, a Romish catholtcke, bee went uppe the ladder, and hanging till he was almost dead, was drawne U> the blocke, whete he gave his last gaspe. After him came Caies, who, ! ike a desperate villains, using little speech, with a small or no shew of repentance, wente stoutelie up the ladder, where, not staying the hangman's turne, turned himselfe off with such a leape, that with the swing fie brake the halter ; but after his fall, was quickly drawne to the blocke, and there was quicklie divided into foure partes. Last of all came the great devill of all, Faulkes alien John- yon, who should have put fire to the powder ;— his body being j weake with torture and sickness, he was scarce able to go up J the ladder, but. yet with much ado, by the helpe ot the hang- man, went hie enough to breake his necke w ith the fall ; who made no long speech, but after a sort, seeming to be sorrie for his offence, asked a kinde of forgiveness, ofthe King, and Ihe State, for his bloodie intent, with his crosses and his idle cere- monies, made his end upon the gallowes. and the hlocke, to the great joy ofthe beholders, that the laud was ended of so wicked a villaine. Thus have 1 ended my discourse upon the arraignment and execution of these eight traytors, executed upon Thursday, and Friday la. rt past, in Paules Church Yard and the old pallace at Westminster. [ The remaining part of the account relating to the execution ofthe traitors at Worcester, as mentioned in the title page, is not of equal interest with the preceding.] Iii order to understand the effect of this extraordinary structure, von must imagine a lofty liill, completely sur- rounded by a circle of lesser liills, of which it forms nearly the centre. It commands the whole of tliem. Thev arc distant, from it about five or six miles all round, being in some parts regular, in some beautifully undulated, iu others bold and abrupt. The intervals between the cen- tral hill and those in the circumference is hollowed out bv the hand of nature into a number of irregular vallies, whose deepest recesses are in the neighbourhood of the Abbev. The sides of the surrounding hills present for the most part gentle and extended declivities, though here and there, in the half distance, breasts of land suddenly swell out from the bosom of the vale, which gave diversity and shading to the prospect. On the west, north, and particularly on the south, these hills and breasts of land arc thickly wooded, the declivities arc divided into fields for corn or pasture, the vallics are planted with shrubs and choice trees in the most pictur- esque taste, and in some places they are laid out in green lawns and gardens, which always fascinate the eye. Upon the summit of the central hill stands Fonthill Abbev, thus commanding on every side such varied and enchanting prospects as are scarcely to be found in any other part of England— rich without gorgeousness, har- moniousness without monotony, simple without negli- gence ; such as we conceive in imagination when we dream of the Happy Valley of Kasselas. The edifice is built in ihe monastic style, and presents iu new and solid perfection a pile of Gothic architecture not un- like, that of Westminster Abbey. It is in the form of a cross, the longest branch of which extends towards the east, the shortest to the west ; the two side aisles are of equal length, one to the north, the other to the south, the whole four branches being iu excellent proportion. The centre, where the four divisions meet, is in the shape of an octagon, which is formed Iry eight double clustered piers of great height and massive beauty.— These pie^ ssustain eight lofty pointed arches, and upon these arehe, s- is raised an immense tower which forms the principal external feature of the Abbey. It is very nearly 2S0 feet iu height, and rises in a square form, from between four pediments. Lofty as it is, it is yet unfinished ; the spire remains to be added, which, to bp in proportion, must be raised to at least 120 feet. It was to have been surmounted by a cross, and the whole, when finished, would then present a tower antl spire, whose highest point would be four hundred feet from the ground. Some idea may be formed ofthe extensive view which the highest galleries will afford, when it is observed that the base ofihe tower is on the level of the top ofthe spire of Salis- bury Cathedral, which is remarkable for its altitude. The grand entrance to the Abbey is by the western door ( the door of llie cross), which is of majestic dimensions, in the Gothic pointed style, and opens to the hall. The roof is of oak fine- lv carved, verv lofty, and decorated in the old baronial style, with many shields, which are emblazoned with various family quartering*.. The hall is lighted by three Gothic windows, which aie on the right hand, and beautifully painted, afterthe gunner of some ancient tp. ciinciis in Use Cathedral of Gutter- 1 bury. On the left hand . ire tliree recesses hurtg with crimson curtains, IO correspond with the windows; in the central recess there is a marble statue of Mr. Beckford's grandfather, Alder- man, and twice Lord Mayor, so distinguished by the stern re- ply which lie made to the lute King, on receiving an unfavour- able answer to the City remonstrance. A flight of stone steps, which extend nearly the whole width of the hall, lead to the octagon before mentioned. The roof of the hall, and the en- trance, seem, however, much too lofty for its interior length. When you are about to be admitted by such a noble entrance, you expect lo traverse a lengthened and leve^ aisle. Instead of this, the stone steps meet you almost immediately after you enter, and feel that the decorations of the hall, beautiful as they are, by no means compensate for the want of space. This, however, is a defect which the proportions of the1 edifice would not admit of being remedied. After ascending the flight of steps, and passing the landing- place, you enter the octagon, from whence you have at once a view of the four branches of the cross. But it is not to thg. se that a stranger first turns his attention. In fact, he has scarcely any discretion at the mo- ment, for he is struck willi Ihe greatest surprise and admiration by the ocagon itself, which is almost sublime. It is finished at the top by a vaulted roof, ( he height of which is one hundred and thirty feet from the ground. It is so far the interior of the great lower. It is lighted in the lantern by eight windows richly painted, but its most magnificent ornaments are four large Gothic windows placed between the piers of four of the arches which sustain the tower. Three of these windows, which are of noble dimensions, are painted after a simple but very beautiful pattern, which has been laken from some win- dows ill the monastry of Iiatalba, ill Portugal. It is a ruby rosette, with a yellow centre, encompassed by four leaves of mazarine blue, widi a yellow border. It is the same in every compartment, and the whole frame is bordered with yellow When the sun beams ou one of these windows, his light ap- pears in the interior of the octagon, modified into the various hues of the compartments, and the objects upon which it falls, seem, for the moment, as if they had been suddenly painted in supernatural colours by some genii ofthe skies. The fourth w indow is dimmed to a sea- geen, as it shows only by a feeble light from thetoiver staircase, the balustrade which winds almost close to it. The grand western entrance, the hall, and the octagon into which you come from the hall, have been already treated.— Going on then in a straight line from the hall, through the octagon, under a Gothic arched doorway, you enter the first of the chambers above alluded to. It is called the cabinet room, and is hung— that it is to say, its walls are covered with crim- son damask. It is called the cabinet room, from its being the repository of several cabinets which contain the choicest articles of Mr. Beckford's gold and silver- gilt plale, and a few things of great value. As you enter this room, you see exactly op- posite to you in a recess, which is festooned with crimson da- mask curiains a magnificent cabinet of ebony. It is eight feet high of exquisite workmanship and supported by eight vases. Two folding doors, which are carved in high relief, enclose its superb contents. Its interior is divided into three square compartments. The compartments on each side are subdivid- ed by a shelf, the central one is without a shelf. A simple enumeration of the articles in each compartment may serve to give some idea of the impression which the totlt- ellsemble makes on the eye when first one beholds it. Ou the shelf of the compartment, on the right baud as you stand before it, aru an agate cup and cover, richly mounted in silver gilt; two tazzas, or shallow tups, of lapis lazuli ; a crystal flower vase, mounted in gold and set with rubies , and a red agate cup aud cover. Underneath this shelf are an oriental cup aud cover of agate ; a large oval eapolette of Hungarian agate ; and an ex- tremely beautiful cup and cover of oriental mamillated chalce- dony engraved in the Persian style, the stem enriched with ru- bies. In the central compartment are a large salver of enamel, two tazzas of gold, and Onyx cup and cover, enriched witli rubies and diamonds, and a vase, hollowed outof a large block of Hungarian topaz, set with diamonds. Oil the shelf ofthe left hand compartment are a large two handled cup of rock crystal, another cup of the same, of an oval shape, and an oval cup of sardonyx. Underneath this shelf are a chalcedony and a sardonyx cup. The latter said to be of ancient Greek work- manship. The vine leaves which encrust its surface, are indeed beautifully cut, but it has not the simplicity of a true antique. There are several other splendid articles in this cabinet, but we hasten to one which stands on the left hand as you enter, which has four shelves crowded with gold and silver gilt plate, some of the ewers in which are so massive, that it requires more ( ban the strength of a female hand to lift one of them. Itis unnecessary to enumerate tliem all. Jt will be sufficient to state, that among them are two large magnificent handled tazzas of silver gill, most exquisitely chased ; a silver gilt tea- urn, stand and lamp ; a silver gilt tea kettle aud stand ; a magnificent embossed dish of silver gilt, which formerly be- longed to Charles I. Within it are six compartments, with the labours of Hercules chased round the rose and crown which form the centre of the dish. There is another dish of the same material ornamented and chased with the family arms and quarters, which is not to be sold. Ewers, v. isses. salvers, dishes, cups' of massive size and uncommon beauty, being for the most part after the antique style, are so numerous in this, cabinet that they dazzle tbe eye ; and when one looks round at the other cabinets, candelahras, and ornaments which decorate the room, we almost imagine that we stand in the trea- sury of some Oriental Prince, whose riches consist entirely in vessels of gold and silver, enriched with precious stones of every description, from the ruby to the diamond. This room is also decorated with some ofthe finest paintings in tfie whoie collection. In the second room, which is the last finished on that side, aud is called the New Room, and which you enter by a door from the cabinet room, there is also a fine collection' of pic- tures, though of a mixed character. Here too - are cabinets and commodities of ebony, cabinets of gold japan, and ebony chairs on silver casters. The chairs once belonged to Cardinal Wolsey. J have already endeavoured to describe a part of its interior, the western entrance, the hall, the octagon, the tw- o Chambers ill Ihe eastern branch of the cross, which exhibit such a pro- fusion of cabinets, gold and silver plate, precious stones, and panning-. The stateliest portions of the edifice, however, still remain to be touched, and as they are closed up for the present, and probably will long remain barred against the public, it may gratify the curious to go into a little detail respecting them, avoiding, at the same time, that minuteness which would con- fuse rather than inform the mind of the reader. Entering, then, the ball again from the western door, and ascending by the hall steps to the octagon, the two equal branches of the cross— or. in otfier words, the two wings, are seen— one to your right ( south) ihe other to your left ( north). ' Ihc north- ern wing is called King Edward's Gallery, and it may also be denominated the Museum of Curiosities. Conceive a long gallery, lighted by several lofty gothic windows, the top com- partments of which are brilliantly painted with the arms of se- veral distinguished personages. These seven windows are hung with curtains ot purple and scarlet, which of themselves have a most superb effect. The side of the gallery opposite to Ihe windows is fitted up with six recesses, w hich are filled with bonks richly bound. Between these recesses there are as many oak cabinets richly carved, and surmounted by various beauti- ful specimens of oriental vases. On the other side between the windows are twelve ebonv stands, each supporting a pair of silver gilt candlesticks, richly chased. Between these ebony stands, there are six stands of oak, each of which supports- a jar of oriental china. These articles only, one would imagine, sufficient to decorate the gallery of any sovereign, but they are scarcely looked at by the visitors, whose attention is at first exclusively engrossed by a range of twelve tables, which are disposed along the oeutre of the gallery, and extended from the beginning of it It) a point opposite the seventh or lowest window. These tables are for the most part of ebony ; two are gilt toilet tables, and ali of excellent workmanship. Upon each of these tables stand some of the splendid curiosities, for which the gallery is so remarkable. They consist of vases and cabinets of carved ivory ; cups of oriental sordonyx ; a cup of ivory, sculptured by the celebrated Magnus Berg ; cabinets of ebony, elaborately carved in the Persian manner ; nautilus shells, finely engraved and mounted with gold ; gold japan basins and covers ; shell- formed cups of rock crystal, mount- ed in enamelled gold, a beautiful cup of yellow agate, almost of a jasper hue, mounted ill gold, enamelled white and green ; and a superb coffer of japan, quite unique, as a specimen of Japanese art, formerly the property of Cardinal Mazarine.— Besides these, there is a- beautiful table of ebony, surmounted by a slab ofverd antique ; a superb Italian Mosaic table, com- posed of various specimens of marble. But the grandest fea- ture ofthe gallery, undoubtedly, is a table of Florentine Mosaic, which is of the lime ofthe Medici, and was formerly in the Borghese palace. The materials which compose it are oriental onyx, jaspers, and breccia, and various rare and costly mar- bles. It is nine feet long, and half as wide, and is said to be the finest thing of its kind in Europe. When the sun shines strongly on this gallery, and the scarlet curtains are drawn over the windows, the light within is of such a beautiful hue, that the magnificent articles enumerated, and the visitors mov- ing up and down the gallery, seein to spaikie and move amid a light gossamer vapour of gold. Altogether, one viewing the scene from the Octagon is inclined, for a moment, lo believe it rather a vision than a reality— the sudden cieatioti of Aladdin's lamp, rather than the growth of human opulence and taste. The space below the sevenih window, between that window and the extremity of the gallery, is occupied hy the sanctuary anil the oratory. The former is a splendid vestibule to the lat- ter ; but though there is a golden lamp suspended from'a very beautiful ceiling iu the oratory, and hut a feeble light is ad- mitted, yet the gloom wants solemnity, and the place does not seem well chosen for the fervency and humility of prayer. It is too near to a splendour, which is apt to dissipate the thoughts; and, in fact, it seems to be an oratory, made rather i for effect than from motives of re i'iuu. The- otbrv wing of the edifice, w hich il fo ( he south, and on the right as you enter the octagon from Ihe hall, corresponds very much as to the style in which it is fitted up, with the gallery which we have just described. The scarlet and purple curtains, the stands for books surmounted hy jars, are nearly alike in both. There is this diflereiice, that il has notables for curiosities in the cen're, and that between tlit! windows, and in the side of the gallery opposite to them, there are re- cesses w hich contain an immense number of splcndidly- hpund books. The windows here are all beautifully painted, and the gallery ' it is called that of St Michael,) is altogether . per- fectly magnificent. To this wing there are added several irre- gular buildings, which afford the most convenient chambers for Usual habitation. There are some of them hung with yellow siik damask, others with pieces of ancient tapestry. There is an air of modern grandeur, mingled with baronial pride and simplicity, about these various chambers, which would render them tlie principal objects of attention, if they were attached to any other building in Kurope than the magnificent Abbey of Fonthill. SUNDAY NIGHT.— There will be no sale, of the Font- hill property, it seems, after all. Placards are just post- ed in lliudon and about the Abbey, announcing at least a farther postponement, in the following concise terms : " Fonthill Abbey.— The sale by auction at this place will not take place, as intended, on the 8th of O.' toiler, a negotia- tion now being oil foot for tlie sale of the whole estate by pri- vate contract." This change of arrangements will produce ranch dis- appointment. Every bed at the principal inns of Hin- don stands engaged for to- morrow night ; and persons will be arriving from all quarters to attend the sale before its postponement is fullv promulgated. It is true that Mr. Beckford has suffered great, and, indeed, irreparable losses in his West India property.— l he truth is that there arc executions in tlie Abbey at this moment to the amount of eighty thousand pounds. The view of the effects has taken place entirely under the controul of the Sheriff; and the persons who have been taken for the Abbey servants, and whose civil de- meanour ill exhibiting the curious rarities of the place calls for our acknowledgments, are no other than She- riffs officers. The produce of the admission tickets, which has probably netted ten thousand pounds, goes to the liquidation of the debts. Looking at the matter in this view, it cannot but excite painful and melancholy reflections on the tenure by which men hold the goods of this life. Those who were acquainted with Mr. Beck- ford's circumstances, some few years ago, thought him so secured in the enjoyment qf a princely income, that he was absolutely beyond the reach of fortune. He at one time was in the actual receipt of one hundred and Sixty thousand pounds a- vear. It cannot be said of him that he wasted his inheritance at the gaming table. This palace, which he raised on a barren mountain, the greater part of those vast plantations which surround it, the collection of books, and of rare, works of art, and the superb furniture, which give such peculiar dignity and splendour to the interior of his. residence, speak at once the immensity ofthe means, and attest the propriety and gracefulness of their application. Since the death of his ladv, which occurred upwards of thirty years ago, he has liecn a perfect hermit. The people speak of him here as an excellent landlord, who has thought about the comforts of his tenantry, and in every respect assisted them. During his life he has given constant employ- ment to every species of tra le. He has pensioned the poor, and has liberally contributed to every work of charity. Mr. Beckford, who is in his sixty- third vcar, is un- doubtedly a man of the most sullen and inflexible pride. In earlv youth he was remarkable for mauvatse honlc ; a misfortune of character which has been very little mi- tigated by what he has seen ofthe world. He had tra- velled a good deal abroad, and has given an animated description of Italy in his letters from that country, which were published in two volumes, at Salisbury, in 1805. It is said also that he has written secret memoirs ofthe Court of Spain ; but they still remain in manu- script in his own possession. He is best known in the literary world by his production of Vaihck. It was written originally in French of the purest Parisian dialect, by Mr. Boefcfoijj, which raises the merit of his perfor- mance. Then, east of imagination that pervades it is pe- culiarly elevated, and shows a thorough acquaintance, not only with the learning, religion, and manners of the East, but also a vein of thought which would seem to belong almost exclusively to the children ofthe sun. After Lord Nelson scoured the West Indian seas of the French fleet, which threatened Jamaica, Mr. Beck- ford invited him to the Abbey, which was lighted up in every part for his reception. The naval hero entered the place by torch- light, an 1 the entertain men t, which he met was of the most sumptuous description. Mr. 1' ogers, the poet, and a very few others, also saw the Abbey some time ago, through the interest of the Ha- milton family. Air. Beckford's only daughter, you are aware, is the present amiable and highly aecomphslied Duchcss. When the present King was staying with the Bishop of Salisbury, some years ago, it is said that he signified a wish to sec Fonthill, but the honour was positively declined, the excuse being that the Abbey was not theft in a finished state. rashly about making iifiioV. itlSlVs; if we did so we were ill instructed by the history of past events. Dr. Stuart of Erskitle, approved highly of Dr, Begg's over- ture. The Rev. Mr. Marshall thought that the practice com- plained of was really no innovation upon the spirit of the laws I of our church, hilt intended for convenience. He would move ' tin.' the Synod, having no evidence before them of any inno- fin'ance!|. wh; ch led tIlem to o{ fer a„ v compromise, vatron, that legislation was unnecessary. , . ... ! The Rev. Mr. Muirleft the chair, and staled that, when he entered St. James church, he found it constructed in the form of pews, according to the practice of- the Methodists lie Considered this as a great innovation. The Rev, Mr, R. Burns of Paisley said, that, though the evil still existed in Glasgow, and was attempted in Hamil- ton, yet he was happy to say there was nothing of the kind in Paisley. Mr. Fleming, of Neilston, considered it an innovation of the worst kind. Mr. Lapslie supported the overture. Mr. Begg replied. The Rev. Mr. Marshall said, though lie was not convinced by any thing that had been urged, he would not go against what seemed to be the wish of the Synod, and should with- draw his motion. The overture was then agreed to without any vote. It was, that the Synod did and hereby do declare their disap- probation of this innovation, as contrary ( o the purity and uniformity of worship presently authorised and practised iu our national church; they enjoin every Presbytery within their bounds to take care that a communion table, according to the pract'ce of tlie church, fie provided in every church under their jurisdiction ; and they recommend to all ihe mi- nisters within their bounds, to observe tbe thirteenth act of the General Assembly 1707, entitled, act against innovations in the worship of God, The only other business before tlie Synod was a dissent and complaint by the Rev. Mr. Fleming of Neilston against a sentence of the Presbytery of Paisley of the 3d July hist.— This question arose out of an attack that w as made on Mr. Fleming, on a Sunday, in the church- yard, when going to perform divine service. The Presbytery called the person who made this attack before them, when lie acknowledged his regret for such conduct, and was rebuked and absolved ac- cordingly. In the making of the minute, an error had crept into it, unnoticed by Mr. Fleming. When the Presbytery afier this met, Mr. Firming asked an explanation of said error. The moment he did so, a Member of Court moved that the house be cleared, and the Presbytery left by itself. Mr. Fleming urged Ihe re- opening of the doors. This was refused, and the Member that moved that the Court should be cleared gave such reasons for his doing so that Mr. Fleming conceived '' were false." On'this a warm discussion arose; and Mr. Fleming feeling, as he conceived, the injustice of shutting the doors upon the public and clearing the Court, and doing all this under whit he averred, and would prove, was a groundless pretence, the Member then that moved " that the Court he cleared" said, that one of his reasons for doing so was, that he saw a person in Court, who wrote a letter to Ed- inburgh, which was read in Ihe General Assembly, and which be considered as derogatory to tbe dignity ofthe Court. On this, Mr. Fleming, with great warmth and indignation, said, that what he stated was false as hell." On this there was a cry " take down his words," which were accordingly taken down, and the Rev. Mr. Burns of Paisley moved, that Mr. Fleming be " severely censured.' This was accordingly agreed to; but Mr. Fleming feeling so provoked at such con- duct, and that lie was justifiable in using such language, when be was deprived of his legal rights, aotl especially when he made an apology, by saying, that if the language was loo strong, he was sorry for il ; but as it was true, he would take it out of its figurative form, and change il into these words, " altogether false," and which he would prove. This apology the Presbytery would not accept, and was proceeding to cen- sure, when Mr. Fleming took his dissent to the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr. This produced a warm discussion in the Synod, and dif- ferent motions were made ; one of which was. that, as the Presbytery had acted irregularly and informal. v, tbe Synod should sustain the dissent and complaint; and, on the other band, that, as the language Mr. Fleming used was too strong and reprehensible, he should make an apology for it to the Court. This he was very ready to tlo, provided that the Presbytery of Paisley came forward and made an apology for their illegal and oppressive conduct, in like manner. This the Presbytery of Paisley would not agree to. anil another motion was made, to wave the proceedings of the Presbytery of Paisley, and to find that the language used by Mr. Fleming was highly reprehensible,, and that he ought lo be rebuked from the chair. This motion was carried, with- out a vote, against which Mr. Fleming protested, and up- pealed to the ensuing General Assembly. This terminated the business of the Synod. SYNOD OF GLASGOW AND AYR. On Tuesday the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr met. After a sermon from the Rev. Mr. Burns, of Kilsyth, the Synod proceeded to elect a new Moderator, when their choice fell on the Rev. John Muir, of St. James's. On Wednesday, the Synod met at half- past ten. The re- port of the Committee of overtures was then called for by the Synod, when the Rev. Mr. Begg rose, antl, in a very learned speech, considered the innovations that hail taken place in dis- pensing the sacrament of the Lord's Supper to the communi- cants sitting in pew s. He wished this ordinance to lie restored to its original purity. At the reformation from popery, the grand leading idea of our forefathers was, that the word of God ought to be the only infallible rule of their conduct : they searched the scriptures, and if any practices were not ac- cording to revelation, they rejected them. The great dispute was, whether communicants should sit or kneel at the table ; and it is oil rccord, that , in Glasgow one minister favoured episcopacy, by allowing his bearers to kneel, while another enjoined sitting at the table. The Episcopalian plan w- as com- pletely worn out, aud the Presbyterian prevailed, and llie Ge- neral Assembly of 1G4.3 directed one general method of wor- ship, and that was the Presbyterian. Sitting at the communion table was agreeable to the example of Christ ; for at the Lord's Supper, alter the passover, they sat down at the table ; the table is particularly mentioned ; it was such a table as they sat in view of each other ; they looked in each other's face, and did not sit with their backs to one another. _ What Jesus practised at first must be a standing rule; if I turn my back on you, it is a sign I. am averse to you ; it is not a customary thing ill ordinary business or conversation to turn our backs to one another ; the face is considered as the index of the mind, and though we may be deceived, it is natural that we look to the countenance to see whether there be evidence of sincerity in our transactions with one another; and if the back is turned upon us, we consider it as a token that the per- son is inimical towards us. But the great barrier act, purity and uniformity of worship, is expressly mentioned ; ministers are bound lo guard against all innovation, and to let nothing be admitted into the worship of God but what is according to the Scriptures. Mr. Urqubart, of Kilbirnie, thought the manner in which the subject had been brought forward by the reverend gentle- man did him great credit, and he was satisfied no reflection was meant against any gentleman, but he could not go along with the overture. The learned gentleman had contended that the half of the communicants, according to the present practice, were sitting with their backs to one another ; tllere- fore the only way to meet this gentleman, would be to get Ihe church enlarged, so that all may meet at one table. At the Lord's table it was no doubt true that 12 sat at the table, fronting each other ; but had there been 500, could this have been done? He was convinced it would have been different, according to circumstances, and that no innovation had taken place. Dr. M'Lean said, the overture assumed that innovations had been practised. It was true, no doubt, that iu his church in Gorbals, the tables were formed in the pews; but he con- ceived this to be no innovation, and that it ivas equally the same as if they all sat tit one table. The manner of sitting in churches is for convenience, and there is no innovation in the ease. Mr. M'Farlane of Drymen, would call on tllem to bew are how they throw off all bonds, all rules, all restraints, and set CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. Against purchasing tea of persons who carry it about for sale, as it will be observed that the buyers, as well as the sellers, act illegally, and subject themselves to penalties: Bv the 19 Geo. 3, Chap. G9, Sec. 21. It is en- acted, that every dealer in tea, Ac. shall have written or painted over his door, or on some conspicuous part of his shop, or warehouse, in which he keeps or exposes tea, for sale, " Dealer in Tea," & c. or shall for- feit the sum of Fifty Pounds, and be subject to all other penalties that persons are liable to who make no entry at all. By the same Act, sec. 22, it is enacted, that every person who shall buy any tea, & c. of any other person, 01- any oth" r place than such as have written or painted, " Dealer in Tea," Ac. as aforesaid, shall forfeit for every such offence the sum of Ten Pounds. And that if tlie seller ( having so disposed of tea, & c. in any room or place, over the door of which Dealer in Tea, & c. is not written or painted), shall within twenty days give information against the buyer, he shall be exonerated and excused from paying the penalties he may have in- curred, and the buyer be fined Ten Pounds. The 12 George 3, cap. 46, recites, that— bv the 10 George it is enacted, that " no tea, fire, shall be sold or exposed for sale except in rooms, shops or ware- houses, entered for keeping the same, on pain of for- feiting all such tea, & c. and treble the value thereof'." And it further enacts, that for everv such offence the party' so selling or exposing for safe, shall forfeit the sum of Ten Pounds, in addition. And by the 57 Geo. 3, chap. ST, sec. S, it is further enacted, that wherever bv auv law or laws, now in force, relating to his Majesty's revenues of customs or excise, a penalty of treble the value of goods is im- posed upon any offender or ollendfrs, ( as by the 10 Geo. I.) he or they shall severally forfeit for every such offence, one hundred pfttMids, or treble the value of the goods, at the option of the person or persons who shall sue or prosecute for the same; and that such pen- alty shall not lie mitigated by any Justice, or Justices, below Twenty- five Pounds. Aud the same Act di- rects, ( see. 13.) that one half of such penalty shall be paid to the person who shall give information, or sue for the same. Any person having tea offered or exposed for sale contrary to the above Acts, may themselves lav infor- mation before a Magistrate, or give notice to the Ex- cise Officers ofthe District, who have strict injunctions from the Commissioners of Excise to put the laws in force. for the deficiency of 30001. which their necessities bad obliged tlieni to circulate through the country, after an honourable division amongst the several " gentlemen" concerned in the transaction, the bankers had no doubt made up their minds to be at that loss. Thev moreover expressed regret at the very cramped state of their own1 The bankers, who had becif put to considerable inconvenience by the exertions of the gang, agreed to barter with them on the terms proposed, and thev accordingly received their notes back to the abovcnientioned amount, giving into the hands of the confidential agent the 15001. re- quired. The bankers, however, have made no com- promise of their duty to the public. A hint was thrown out that it would be very desirable to have their assur- ance that no prosecution should be commenced against any of the parties, in the event of any future disclosure, calculated to " tell" against them, but no promise was made, and the offer of a reward for the conviction of the! thieves still remains good. The thieves, it therefore appears, are resolved to make every effort to dispose of the € 3,000 which, although they boast they have passed through the country, tiio bankers are convinced they still retain, with very litti « diminution amongst them, and the activity of the firift to recover the rest of their property w ill undergo not the slightest remission. It is impossible to conceive what argumentative discussions the different members ofthe gang, w hich consist of nine clever daring fellows, hare held upon the subject. The calling in of tile black notes, and the substitution of the red, ; i mode of prevention to which " some of ihe adventurers suspected the bonkers would resort, have given rise to a scheme for < lie ch- m" e of their general operations, and too great care to n- uarj against their ingenuity cannot lie taken. Some of them have realized in a very few trips a very comfortable in- dependence, and they seldom go to any trouble except where the temptation is very great. Tl » e negotiation wits not concluded, as may he readilv imagined, without the interposition of lawyers, who it is supposed have not forgotten themselves. TO RESTORATION OF THE STOLEN NOTES TIIE IPSWICH BANKERS, On Wednesday, between four and five o'clock, the negociation which has been lor some time going oil be- tween Messrs.

The King ( whom Gon preserve) has ordain- ed the convocation ofthe Extraordinary Cortes, for the objects with which you ate already acquainted, and which indicate, in an unequivocal manner, that bis Majesty has it in contempla- tion to insure our liberties, our Constitution, and our absolute independence, by the exercise of his sacred prerogatives. This conduct cannot fail to excite in the great Nation of w hich we are the Representatives, feelings of love and respect towards his Majesty, and to induce the Deputies to spare no labour in the fulfilment of their sacred duties. The enemies of liberty, who have ever attacked it by indi- rect means, promoting discord aud dissensions among us. have during tlie hist months carried on their work with unusual au- dacity ; and though they have succeeded in occasioning much evil and dissatisfaction, of which the deputation will in due time render an account, yet we know to a certainty that the great majority of Spaniards, rather than forfeit their liberty. « ' iil perish in union with the Constitutional King who now calls us together to secure it. •' Your predecessors have given you living examples of their wisdom and perseverance; and it is your duty to continue their works in ordtr to secure in an indestructable manner the political liberty of the nation andthe rights of citizens.

A discussion on the mode of approving the powers of Deputies and other business of form occupied the remain- der of the sitting. Colonel Freirede A ndrade, appointed by the Portu- guese Government Minister Plenipotentiary and succes- sor to Senor de Castro Perieira, has arrived in Madrid. The Universal says— " It is believed that this new En- voy is especially charged with adjusting a treaty of alliance offensive and defensive between tbe two na- tions." The latest accounts received at Madrid from Navarre, state that Espinosa, on leaving Pampeluna, on the 19th, instead of directing bis inarch to Irati as was supposed, bad proceeded towards Tafallo. This intelligence, joined to that which had previously been received of the . nove- xricnts made about the same time by tlie Commandant of . Art- agon, and bv General Mina, had produced a persua- sion at Madrid that the combined plan of operations adopted by these General must have been carried into execution before the 30th ult. and the accounts ofthe re- sult were anxiouslv expected at Madrid. It is stateil in the Jndicador that an express arrived oil the morning of the 29th, with an account of a battle in the neighbourhood of Vich, in which Mina defeated the factious banditti, and took eight hundred prisoners. Sir VV. A'Court, British Minister to the Court of Madrid, arrived in that city on the 25th. The highest marks o:' respect were shown him by the civil and military authorities on his way from Iran to the capital.— Escorts of troops accompanied him wherever thafe was reason to apprehend that he might be insulted or embar- rassed by the banditti ofthe Army of the Faith. On the arrival of this envoy, one of the Madrid Journals makes the following observation :—" The policv ofthe English Cabinet, which is at all times distinguished for depth and foresight, cannot fail to perceive, that under the present circumstances the political and commercial in- j terests of Great Britain arc intimately connected with | the Constitutional svstem in the Peninsula. The con- j solidation of that system is now the best guarantee and j counterpoise against the preponderance which a great ; Power wishes to obtain in the balance of Europe. But | be this as it may, the nature ofthe new diplomatic rela- tions which the British Government is about to esta- blish with Spain, through the medium of its new Pleni- tentiaty cannot be long concealed from sagacious and enlightened observers."— Universal. NEWS FROM THE PROVINCES. The defeat of which the Journals ofthe South have spokeni was not that of General Mina, but of Tab lieu ca. The fotfowing are the details of this affair :— " On the 18th, an isolated corps of 800 men ( not j 10,000 of Constitutional troops), under the orders of 1 Cni. ' Eabuenea, suffered a defeat on the line of Colva., i Benavarraand Mouzon ( Art- agon), after sustaining with \ obstinacv and calmness, and with heroic valour, a con- • test against very superior forces, which the pretended • Begency of Urgcl had collected from Catalonia and ' Navarre. i " The battle lasted six hours. The Constitutiona- lists were obliged to retreat, which they effected with ; great order, disputing the ground inch bv inch, after j having spiked the two pieces of artillery they had with them. Thev lost 101 men, killed, wounded, and pri- soners ; Colonel Tabnenca among the latter, as also the Chief of his staff. They were surrounded on a height, where they went to make a reconnaissance. The heroic resistance made against nearlv 6,000 factions, though followed by so unfavourable a result, may still be quoted as a glorious feat of arms. " On bearing the news of this affair Mina gave imme- diate orders, it is said, to march to Cervera. The troops, inflamed with a. desire of vengeance difficult to repress, disputed who should arrive the first. The cap- ture of Cervera was accomplished almost as soon as un- dertaken ; but it is said that vengeance has been taken, And reprisal made in a most terrible manner. The re- port is, that the whole garrison of Cervera had been put to the sword. " From the other side we learn that Gen. Espinosa, after making some demonstration towards Irati, to de- ceive the enemy suddenly took the rout to Tafallo. The simultaneous movement of General . Mina, Zarco deValle, and Espinosa, appear to life the prelude to an approach- ing and decisive combat. Zarco del Valle set- out from Saragossa at the head of 5,000 men. " On the 15th October there is to be a levy of five per cent, on the young men between eighteen and forty years of age in Biscay, and for this purpose all the Al- cades of the communes have been summoned to Bilboa bv the Political Chief. This lew is to be at the dispo- sal ofthe military commanders on the 17th, It will pro- duce about 5000 men, and will be made, it is believed, without any obstacles. Similar levies are to take place in the otlitr provinces." as well as the citadel of Ang'elorastrorl. A sufficient corps of Guerillas was immediately sent to ( lie inaccessi- ble barriers of Moiint PatlaetoliccSn, while the greater part of the army was. directed towards the passage of Stratus, between Mackalas and Leperus—' After, this disposition of the forces, which rendered Etolia impreg- nable, Maurocordato transmitted the necessary instruc- tion to General Nicetas, who commanded at Thermo- pyltc, and he repaired to Strstos. " The Acarnanians, on their part, firmlv resolved to vanquish or perish, burnt several of their towns and vil- lages of easv access, iu order to leave no place of refuge to the enemy, and repaired themselves to Macrynoros to defend their frontiers. " On the 10th July, Chourschid Pacha, conform- able to the plan, divided his forces at Larissa in two un- equal corps. One corps, abotif 10,000 men, was com- manded by Hassan Pacha.— This bold Commander had promised, on pain of losing his head, to make a passage for himself across the mountains of Agrapha, to pene- trate into Acarnariia, and promote the entry ofthe Pa- cha of Arta. This second Commander was to force the pass of Macrynoros, join Hassan Pacha, and then to penetrate with him into Etolia to conquer it. " ChourscHid Pacha, at the head of the larger part of his army, arrived on the 16th July at Zeitouni. On the 20th, he attacked Thcrmoplyae; the battle took place at the pass of Phontana. The General of the Turks, fertile in stratagems, took no part in the contest, which he observed from a distance. His army was at- tacked in front and on the right flank, and broke in more than one place. The most terrible carriage preceded the rout of the Turks. Odvssens and Caatoyannac parti- cularly distinguished themselves, on this day. The first repaired with a thousand acts of bravery the wrongs which he had been driven to commit by his too violent temper. " Chourschid Pacha, after his defeat, was pursued to the opposite extremity of Trachis, where a great number of his soldiers also perished. Night put an end to the pursuit. " At the same time Hassan Pacha had penetrated to A graphs. The two Greek Chiefs, Alexis and Ilumare, who occupied this country, had perceived the blind con- fidence of this rash enemy ; iu order to entangle him the better, thev retreated as far as the bridge of Caracos, vulgarly called Tttlaraina. This bridge, the work ofthe Romans, is the only one to keep up the communications between Thcssaly, Etolia, and Acarnania. Marcos Bozaris setting out from the latter country, arrived at the same point one day before Hassan Pacha. " At the sight of the bridge of Caracos a sentiment of horror prevailed iu the nund of the Soithot General; it was before this bridge that his father, Christos Bozaris, reposing on the faith of treaties, was attacked at his pass- ing over with his family, by thirteen thousand Mahome- tans. After the most heroic resistance, three hundred Souliots perished, and two hundred women, pressing their infants to their bosoms, threw themselves from the rocks into the waters of the Achelotis,* to escape slavery. " Marcos, deeplv penetrated by this sorrowful recol- lection, exposed to his troops, in a pathetic recital, all the horror of the crime, and excited his companions in arms, to, take a brilliant and lawful vengeance. " ' The in:': ies.' said lie, ' of the three hundred brave men w ho. perished here— the spirits of the women, still wandering on these rocks— an expiatory sacrifice of those barbarians may appease them. Soldiers, we owe this to those martvrs of liberty, and we will offer it to- mor- row I' The troops replied by a general cry of enthu- siasm. Measures were then taken not to allow any opening to the enemy. " On the next day, at the arrival of Hassan Pacha, the noise of the first firing was heard ; the troops Iving in ambush run from all parts ; after several rounds thev at- tacked the Turks sword in hand. The enemy sought a place to retreat in vain. With the exception of about 500 men, the corps of Hassan perished before the bridge. A small number surrendered at discretion. " Such was the end of this great Ottoman army. ( This is the name by which it was designated by the Turks). The avaid garde onlv of this armv passed on the 4th of July, into Livadia, when Chourschid was at Larissa. It had arrived at Zeitouni in the month of June, and had profited by a moment of confusion occasioned by some private quarrels of Odysseus, to penetrate by a round- about way, but entered into Peloponnesus ; it was also there destroyed, and thus accomplished the destruction of the army of Chourschid Pacha, arrived on the three points of Thermopylae, Caraeos, and Corinthia. Of all this army, amounting to'd- 5,000 or 50,000 men, the Seraskier has only saved 6,000, who have retreated with him to Larissa. " The Pacha of A rta, deceived in his expectations of j assistance from Hassan, resolved to attack Acarnania by sea. On the 9th August he effected a landing in the j Gulf of Ambracie bv Loutraki. He was repulsed the j same day with considerable loss by the Chiliaib Zonga. j A great number of his soldiers were drowned in re- em- barking for Arta. " A division of the Turkish fleet at the same time dis- embarked another corps near the port of Camilla, op- posite the island of St. Maura. This corps was to unite with the Pacha of Arta, and advanced as far as the vallev of Varnaco. It was there attacked bv John Varnakoste, who defeated it entirely, and pursued it to port, where it re- embarked, after losing a third of its number. " Civil war is kindled in Albania. Omcr Pacha wishes to establish his nephew at Berat, as Pacha of Middle Albania. A great majority ofthe inhabitants, who hcte him, have asked for the son of Ibrahatn Pacha.— The two parties have already come to blows."— Le Con- stitutionel. O'. VIEARA'S book.

" In spite ofthe, superiority in number of our enemies, anil the persecution of those who ought to assist tts, our cause triumphs, and the bravery and good will of our Own troops have been sufficient for every thing. Three victories w hich thev have successively gained have des- troyed the general plan of attack contemplated by the Turks, and ruined their army. " This plan, traced by a masterly hand, was commu- c nicatcd to the Turks bv some officious friends, whom it is not difficult to discover. The Seraskier ot Romelia, who was to attack Greece at the head of a large army on three different paints, while the fleet favoured the ope- rations on shore, to strike terror by a strong and general blow, and bv several simultaneous and well- combined attacks, to offer an amnesty in the first moment of con- fusion, and to stifle the insurrection in a short time by a deceitful policy, seconded by force of arms, was the aim proposed?- " The Greeks, to whom these details were known, took their measures in consequence. Vrrch'ori, capital of Etolia, principally attracted their attention. This town is situated near tbe site of Thermeis, the ancient j. capital of this province, and the Etolinnsalways concen- trated their forces there in case of invasion, to repair their losses, observe the movements of the enemy, and to check on a sudden his excursions. The Roman bridge of 3C6 arches, placed in the middle ot the lake to the west and south of Vrachori, was put. in a state of defence, Mrst - FliOM G E1! MA A' PAPERS. VIENNA, Sept. 30.— Contrary to generalexpectation, the Duke of Wellington arrived here at a late hour last night. I am concerned to inform you that his Grace suffered exceedingly from illness on the road, and his health still continues in a very delicate state. The Mar- quis of Londonderry expects his recal hourly, and all his valuable furniture is to be sold off bv auction. His Lord- ship gives to day a grand dinner to the Duke of Well- ington ; and several distinguished personages are invited to meet' his Grace." ROME, Sept. 27.— The state of his Holiness ( the Pope's) health is considerably better. The death of Cardinal Rizanti has caused great afflic- tion : three other Cardinals are ill ; if thev should die, the sacred college will be reduced in number to 43.— The college of Cardinals, if full, ought to consist of 70. A private letter, dated Vienna, Sept. 30, supplies the following account of young NATOLTON :—" I had last night an opportunity of seeing, for the first time of my life, the son of that man whose turbulent ambition lost him the greatest- empire. in the world, and whose career will be forgotten only, when the extraordinary events associated with it cease to become matter ofastohishment to succeed- ing generations. Young NAPOLEON* was at the Theatre, and sat in the same box with his Koyal Grandsire and the Empress, but in a separate compartment, where he was attended bv a middle- aged individual, who appeared to be his preceptor. It is not too much to say, that perhaps no vouth ever boasted a finer or more interesting coun- tenance than his. The likenesses of him which 1 have seen at ACKERMA NN'S, and other shops in London, are vile caricatures, compared with the original; they repre- sent him as a florid, chubby boy, with a profusion of flaxen hair flowing over his shoulders. But he has nothing whatever of that appearance. His complexion is fine, but not florid ; and Ins hair, cut quite short, is fair, but not flaxen. It is impossible to behold his fare for an in- stant, and not be sn tick with the convincing likeness it bears to the more accuratc delineations tliat arc given of LONDON, Oct. 12. Dispatches have been receiveJ. from the Duke of Well- ington, who arrived at Vienna on theSOth ult. his health rather improved by the journey, though he had been bled since his arrival. On Tuesday night, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Walters, the King's Messenger, arrived at the Foreign Office, in Downing- street, bringing dispatches from the Marquis of Londonderry, at Vienna. Mr. Walters left Vienna on Tuesday the 1st inst. A private letter from Calais, dated Tuesday last, states, that Mr. Bowling," a British merchant, the author ofThe Ilussian Anthology," was stopped on Sunday morning, when on the point of going on board the. packet for Dover : his trunk taken to the Hotel de v'ille, and ransacked by the Commissaire de Police, who took therefrom several letters, amongst others a | Second dispatch from the Portuguese Ambassador at Paris to the Portuguese Ambasfador in London. These being all placed tinder a seal bv the Mayor, M. Benard, were kept bv him, and Bowring's passports and permit of embarkation taken from him. He was then told that he must remain here till the pleasure of Government was known. That pleasure was communicated by telegraph this morning, and stated, that " Bowring was to be ar- rested and sent to Boulogne, to be placed at the disposi- tion of the Proeureur du lloi, and that the papers of every kind must be sent to Paris forthwith." Rumours of all sorts are still afloat respecting the pen- ding appointment to India and other Cabinet arrange- ments. If Ministers wished to do a popular act, every body might foresee the result of their deliberations ; but as the man who is notoriously exactly fitted for the post, has not a single advocate in the Cabinet, and the good of the governed is but a secondary consideration with them, we may expect that, as usual, all the doubts and mystery will end in the exposure of a job, with all its contingent. arrangements. It Is said that the office of Under Secretary of State in Mr. Canning's department, vacant by the resignation of Earl Cfanwilliam, is to be filled up by Mr. Planta, who is to be the senior, and Mr. Backhouse, the junior Secretary, and Mr. Ellis is to be Mr. Canning's Private Secretary, iu the room of Mr. Backhouse. Lord Binning was offered the Under Secretaryship, but lie declined ; for, by accepting it, he must have vacated his seat in Parliament. His Grace the Duke of Manchester and suite, with LOA\ 1 Montagu, will embark. to- morrow, on board the ship John Shand, Captain Rees, for Jamaica. THE IIET> LION.— Mr. CANNING'S observation, " once let the little Red Lion in, and all the rest will follow," has been mistaken and misapplied. I clearly had no reference to Radicalism, but was aimed at Despo- tism to which lie once bore an inveterate enmity. The following anecdote will explain;—" RUDDIMAN, the Grammarian, was a warm friend of Royalty, and, of the House of Stmrl ; so much so, that he firmlv believed, and often repeated in conversation, that every one of that line who was to ascend the Throne was born with a Red Lion on his right arm."— L/ q. into the HIST, if SCOT. p. 58.

The FALfcillK TRYST. The Falkirk tryst commehced on Monday last, whpri there was an unusually larjje supply of sheep— the number supposed to be about sixty thousand. As usual the market began with sheep ; and wet, windy, and unfavourable as the weather was, the demand exceeded the expectations of both buyers and sellers. There were at least sixty thousand sheep in the mar- ket.

The greater part of the sheep were sold on Monday. The black cattle market began on Tuesday, and fully'the usual number of buyers came forward. There Weie in whole upwards of twenty- five thousand head of cattle in the market, which was the latest number that ever appeared at any tryst. West Highland heifers were ehieftj in request, aud went off in lots as usual.

THE distress that prevailed in Ireland during the; last spring- and summer, and the disorders and excesses that have again arisen in tliat unhappy country, are striking proofs that there must lie a faulty Government*; for ill a well governed country, with a soil anil climate so ex- cellent as that of Ireland, it is impossible that, a healthy population should lie in want of competent wages for la- hour, or be at all times disposed to attat'k the lives and properties of their landlords and superiors. Last season there was no want of food 111 Ireland, for, as we have frequently mentioned, cargoes of Irish provisions, wctie landing in Britain, at the tiroeihat ship loads of oatmeal and potatoes were on their way from Britishpoi'H fo te lievc the sufferers iii Ireland ; and many petjson^ uirj^ We and well disposed, to relieve distr. essv. apc'o^ ijig . to their ability, declined to subscribe monev or . contribute provisions, on the ground that no real'and • general want- prevailed in Ireland, and the partial distress ought to have been provided for by the resident authorities. On this subject, the Edinlmrgh Review assigns as the cause of the distress, the . pheapness of the food used by the peasantry, and the failure of the jiotatoe crop of last year. The rate of wages which must always be mainly regulated by the cost of producing the principal necessaries consumed by the labourers, is, in Ireland, determined by the lowest possible standard. An unfortunate train ofcircumstances has brought the Irish to a habitual and almost exclusive dependence upon the potatoe e. op for " the principal part of their food. They have few or no artificial wants— provided they are able to ob- tain a sufficient supply of potatoes, they 3re content to vege- tate in rags and wretchedness. But as the potatoe is reared at less expense ilian any other species of food hitherto cultivated in Europe, and as wages are principally determined by the cost of its production, it is easy to see that they must be reduced to a state of extreme and almostfi- rreinediai distress whenever that crop happens to he deficient. When wheat and beef constitute the principal food of the? labourer, and beer and porter'the prin- cipal part of his drink, he can ih a period of scarcity, bear to retrench. Such a' man has room to fall— he r an resort to cheaper articles— to barley, oats, rice, and potatoes^ But when he is habitually and constantly fed on the very cheapest species of food, he has plainly nothing to resort to when depriv- ed of it. The labourers, wiioare placed in such circumstances, are absolutely cut off from every resource. They are already so low, they, can fall no lower. They are placed on the very verge of existence. Their wages being regulated by the price of potatous, will not buy them wheat, or barley, or oats ; and whenever, therefore, the supply of potatoes fails, it is next to impossible thtv can escape falling a sacrifice to famine. ' The present state of Ireland furnishes a striking proof of this statement. Owing to the failure of last Potatoe crop, a very large proportion Of the peasantry of Clare, Limerick, and other counties bordering on the Shannon, have been re- duced to a state,. little short of absolute famine. But there was, notwithstanding, a continued exportation of oats, and other grain from Ireland to this country, up to the very moment when the contributions of Government, and the public, were applied to the purchase of corn to the peasantry. The price of potatoes rose iu Limcrkk, iu the coarse of a lew mouths from Id. to Cd. and fid. a stone, being a nseor4rt0or 500 per cent, while the price of Com sustained no material increase; none at least to prevent its being scSu to the overloaded mar- kets of England ! If is obvintts, indeed, that to whatever ex- tremity the- peasantry of Ireland might have been reduced, they . could, not have relieved themselves by purchasing corn. In a period of scarcity, men can go from a higher to a lower scale. Bilt to the Irish this is impossible ; they have already reached the lowest point in the descending scale ; and dearth is there attended ftith all the horrors of famine. We cannot think that the distress could be fairlv at- tributable to the causes assigned bv this writer. The price of labour i? not determined bv the dearness or cheapness of the food used bv the peasantry, but bv the value of the produce of that labour. The rise in the price of potatoes was not accompanied by a correspond- ing rise of wages '; arid if one labourer or manufacturer cliuses to live on bread and water, while another indulges in more costly viands, the relative prices of their labour will not on that account be altered. While Irish pro- duce bears a fair pricc in every market, wages ought also to beTair, and at all times equal to the comfortable support of the labourer; but this ot late lias not been thfc case in Ireland, for in many eases able- bodied men could . find no employment, until Government furnished means, in the construction of new roads, and other pub- lit worts. The Irish complain that the rents of Ireland are not spent in the country, that by far the greater part of their landlords are absentees, and tunny expend their incomes cui the Continent : they sav that, on the other hand, the lair standard of waees is destroyed by wealthy monopolists, who find means to run down all fair com- petition, and reduce the price of labour to what they please. These complaints are well founded, and the evils complained of have long proved highly injurious to Ireland, while the exaction of Tithes from those who have no communion with the established Church, makes a heavy addition to tlie grievances of the country. Under such circumstanccs, the attachment that exists between landlords and tenants, where rents are moderate and the price of labour fair, mutual good offices creating a kind of- family affection, is not to be expected. On the con- trary, the Irish small farmer and peasant know only the Landlord's Agent and, Tithe Proctor by acts of severity, and hence they. are ready to join in. unlawful combina- tions and commit criminal actions, \ Vhich, from the pe- culiarity of their situation, they rio ' doubt think justifi- able. The necfessary punishments of the. law following upon such Crimea give rise to resentful and rancorous feelings, which lead tqo frequently to deadly acts of. re- venge, and the situation of the country becomes daily worse. That the people of Ireland are naturally ofa sa- vage disjfosition, and only to be governed by coercion, will not be allowed! by any well informed man who has lived. amongst them ; they are a warm hearted and grate- ful people— but their state in civil societv has not been what it ought to be, and their national character, lite that of the Greeks, has suffered from causes over which they themselves possessed no controul. Early in the next Session ol Parliament the state of Ireland will come un- der consideration ; and' we sincerely hope, that a more liberal policy than has hitherto been acted upon shall then be adopted. Although the patriotic pajrtv its' Spain believe them selves perfectly Secure against the attempts oftliecounter- revolutionists, the roads arc still infested by detachments of the Army of the l'aith, as it is called, and the dis- patclics proceeding towards France are for the - roost part intercepted. The nature ofthe country renders it diffi- cult promptly to put a stop to this species of warfare, but if'the roatls Continue to be thus insecure, it must at length become necessary to have adequate escorts to the public mails. One most important object has been con- cluded upon between the British Government anil that of Spain, viz. the- best means of putting down the svs- teta of pit'acy, so daringly carried on in the South Ame- rican Seas. Our ships of war are to be permitted to oc- cupy whatever stations may be necessary or, the Spanish territory; and it is believed, that within a very few months out' commerce- in these seas will once more be ( jnite secure. It wiH appear from the following extract, that already jainisbweiit " has in some instances been sum- marily inflicted upon these marauders. A Morning Paper reports that the Government of Spain has empowered our Government to take possession of ihe places on the coast of Cuba, which have become the haunts of tile freebooters. We long ago recommended this step ( and we were the first who did so publicly), as. the only one that can be effectual for the extirpation of the pirates. That it has been delayed so long has been the cause of the loss of much British wealth lyid Rritish lives. . The disposition towards England, in the Spanish Government and people,, seems to be most friendly ; and we sincerely hope that no connection with Ihe mis- called Holy Alliance may prevent our Ministers from tak- ing advantsge of i^ PIRATES TAKEN AND EXECVTED. • The Bristol Gazs'tt » of the 10th inst, gives the full particu- lars of the capturevof Ihe Edward, Prothero, of that port, bv a piratical vessel, off* Cuba, on the 19th of • August last. I he treatment of the Captain, Passengers, and crew, appears to have been ' brutal, and the vessel was ransacked of every ar- ticle of any value to tfre captors-, and on their quitting her she was with great difficulty got into Ilavanna. Tl. e British ves- sels tbe E1' za, John, and Thisbe, had also been dogged on the 15th of the same month, near tbe same place aa* d only- escaped a si « i$ ar fate by keeping close company. ' Tbe masters of these vessels observing the schooner that bad followed them was joined on that night by two et hers, was ap- prehensive of a coalition being formed, to which they would fall a prey. In consinpieiwre of this they thought fit to put into Havanna, and adtb vssed a meaibrra! to the senior officer of bis Majesty!*. ships there ( Sir - R. M<* nds. of the I phigenia), stating the circumstances, and soliciting . the protection of part of his force through the Gulf of Florida. This w. as readily granted by Sir R. Mends, who immediately senf 30 men on board the Thisbc for their protection du ring the wight, awd directed the Tyne sloop of- war on the following day- to convoy the vessels through the Gulf. - - l^ ve, brig which had been plundered having put into Ha- vanna after her escape, immediately informed Sir R. Mends of the circumstances attending her capture. Upon which that officer sent her out again with a considerable number of bis men, well armed on board. This had the desired effect. The pirates immediately bore down, and a considerable number came onboard, and were made prisoners. The schooner was also taken. The whole of the depredators were hung directly after their capture.

On Thursday last, the Eleventh Anniversary of the Aber- deen Auxiliary Bible Society was held in the Court Ilouse ; the Lord Provost fn the Chair. The Report of the. past year was read by one of tbe Secretaries, containing a brief account of the proceedings of the Society, its Revenue and Expendi- ture ; and. the number of copies of the Sacred Scriptures, which it had been the fneans Of putting into the hands of those des- titute of that invaluable " treasure. The usual motions were made, and resolutions passed, ( for which see a foregoing col.) and the meeting was successively addressed bv several Reverend Gentlemen, in support of the cause, with much feeling and effect. The Court House was crowded ; and all seemed gratified andimpressed with the proceedings of the day. The Trea urer of the Infirmary has received from the Hon. the Club, by the hands of Thos.

LIVINGSTON On tire 4th curt, died here, at the age of 62, after a tedious and complicated illness, born with christian fortitude and re- signation, Dr. Wi. i+ LtA^ LsvitfGSToN, professor of Medicine in Marisrhal College and Ui¥ versiiv^ ami. Physician to Gor- don's Hospital. During a period of 29 years be filled the Medical Chair, and', for a longer space, discharged the duties ofthe other ofnee, with the greatest Credit to himself and with signal advantage to the community, oh every occasion, where his talents, bis acquirementsj, and . hrs benevolence* could be exerted. Dr. LIVINGSTON Was also' many years Physician to the Infirmary. His professional skill was attested by his ex- tensive practice, and, in its course, tiis' disinterested disposition was verified by unremitted attention to those from whom he could expect no return, but gratitude. Indeed, generosity and kindness were the predominant features of his rfloral frame. These were Supported, by integrity, veracity, ratidor, and honourable feeling ; and adorned by unaffected politeness, and simply elegant hospitality. He rose above every mean and sordid view, and spurned every tortuous, and sneaking art. This simplicity and: elevation of mind, ensured to him the respect and affection of all who enjoyed his society, or were placed within the sphere of his influence. To bear ill will t£ Dr. LIVINGSTON was repulsive to all the better feelings of our na- ture— To converse with, was to, like, him~—- Jfe was a most af- fectionate husband, a kind and generous relative. The, srnajlest kindness," shewn him, excited, in bis mind, indelible- gratitude. He hated contention ; yet, when any object of real importance demanded exertion of a more severe kind, be never sacrificed truth, justice, or friendship, either to popularity, or. toptivate favour— As a companion, his conversation was delightful. He possessed a large fund of general knowledge, cultivated, and promoted polite literature and the fine arts, and was endued with a correct and delicate taste. His wit enlivened, and left no sling— His piety was solid, unostentatious, practical, pur suing. through the blessed Redeemer, by the discharge of the duties of life, that consummation of happiness which, we trust, he now enjoys.. In a word, Dr. LIVINGSTON has died universally and justly regretted, but particularly lamented by his relatives, his friends, and colleagues, to whom his placid, harmonizing, and - amiable temper, peculiarly endeared him. In this respect, * Quando ullum invenlent parem ? His memory is embalmed by Affection, and will be preserved by concurrent Justice. Ah ! wlien shall they ins equal find ? ; . ARCTIC LAND EXPEDITION. Extract of a I. etterfroni our Correspondent at Orkney, dated Stronmes*, Oct. 10, .1822. "• rKimw'wgHlial any rnforfftatwrtV relative to the Discovery Ships,' Or Land Expedition in Hudson's Bay, would be ac- ceptable. I now beg to say. that the Hudson Bay Company's ship, Prince of Wales, Capt. Davidson, arrived here this morning from York Fort, and brought with her Captain Franklin and- the Other Gentlemen connected with the Arctic Land Expedition. They reached the sea about the lat. of 7i?.* N. and long. 110. W. as near as I can judge, to Hearne's River." The Fontbill property is disposed of by private contract, to Mr. FAKQUHAR. our townsman, lately from India, win has given L. 530.000 for it as it stands.; We understand that the timber on the estate is estimated aj L 100.000; that the ..' build- ing cost 400,0001 ; and that since the present possessor came of age, he has laid out at least a m. illfon sierliwg in beautifying and embellishing this most splendid domain. Our readers will find, in a preceding part, of this paper, the fullest account of this great purchase which we have yet seen. V The Sen at us Academieiis of. King? s College, Aberdeen, have conferred t. he Degree of Doctor in Medicine, on George Paxton, Esq. Stirgeon, Honourable East India Company's Service, son of ttie Rev. Professor Paxton, Edinburgh. In consequence of the desire expressed by the Parliamentary Commissioners, who were recently in this city, to be furnished with any suggestions that might occur to the Mercantile* part of the community, as conducive to the accommodation andad- vantage ofthe Trade and Commerce of this quarter— a Meeting was held in the Town Hall, upon Saturday last, of tiie Mer- chants, Manufacturers, and Ship- owners of this city* who no- minated a Committee to draw up a Report on the subject.--^— And as the Committee will, continue sitting for a few days, it is expected that such gentlemen as haye any remarks to make, will forward them without delay, under cover to the Lord Provost, Convener of the Committee. The ballot for the Local Militia is suspended for another year. On Monday afternoon, a gentleman was attacked llpar tire Lunatic Asylum, by a fellow, wbo, on prctencls of inquiring Ihe hour, made a snatch at bis watch. The gentleman, how- ever, resisted ; and assistance coming up, bad him secured and conveyed to prison. It is said tbe fellow was intoxicated. PttlCE OF PROVISIONS, d- C.

The miscfeaats must have been concealed irr a gravel pit on tbe side of the road, as a young gentleman who bad rode to tbe toll- bar fur bis father's" letters, and was returning at the time, passed tbe girt within a'hundred yards of the place, and saw no other person on the road. As soon as'the girl g* jt to her father's bouse, a number of men set out in. all directions in search of the wretches, but the night. became so tlark, tnat . they had no ehanee of catchiu'r them.

Several Wlxile Fishing ships have arrived sine* our la< f, from Davis' Straiis, bringing, we are happy to say, much more fa- vourable accotmfs of the success wf Ihe few strips whieh had re- ma inert, than were anticipated. On Saturday Ust, the Lon- don, Birnfe, of IMoniroge, passed throuiih this bay with'lit fish, about 150 to 1G0 tlths of oil ; and the sunt* - day. 11K* Friendship, Ireland, of Dundee, passed Peterhead with IB fish, 135 tuns of oil. The Ingria, MTntosh. of.

The Cato. oil the 5th ult. spoke the Earl Percy, Davidson, of Kirkcaldy, and was informed, that two days previous, he had seen the Old Middleton, of. this place,' flinching two or three fish, and- has no, doubt. but he will . be well fisbeii.

It blew,- however, so hard at the time, that Captain Bo. oie could, not send a boat ashore to give that assistance their signals seemed to call, for ; which he re- gretted the more, as frcim the civcumstance of his passing soon after, wbfeii clear of tbeisiand's, a great deal of wreck, parti- cularly several hundred- Norway logs, deals, & c. he had no doubt, buMhese poor men were part of a shipwrecked crew in distress. On Monday, the Granite, Young, arrived here,, in 16 days from Mernel, after encountering the tremendous gale ofthe Vv'iek preceding, during which lie lay to three days, and was drivtn to - the Shetland: isles. The sloop Jane of Newcastle, from J, ehh to Fraserburgh, was" totally lost off RaUray- head, 7th. insU Crew saved. ^ The following am the particulars of the loss of the Galliot, mentioned in our last : On Monday morning last, about half- past five o'clock, t!;< r' Mercurius, Sehoort. from Newcastle for Amsterdam, w. krh gobds, Was wrecked on the Yorkshire coast. The persons on bo'ard, Consisting ofthe master, bis wife, three men, a boy, Mr. John Fairs and Mr. James Iforsley, passengers, were happily saved in the hoflL and were taken up and treated with the greatest kindness by the Portune, of North Shields, Cap- tain Martin Hutchinson, afterhaving been six hours and a half tossed about, and vainly endeavouring to reach the land. The Mercurius bad sprung a leak, and it was found impossi- ble to overcome it by pumping. There was another vessel near, to which a signal of distress was exhibited, but the peo- ple on board took no notice of it, and the boat was scarcely t'ear before the Mercurius Weilt doWn. Captain Hutchinson, on Coming iu sight, instantly attended to the flag of distress whirl* one of the sailors in the boat made of his shirt ; the wbola party being obliged to leave the ship half naked. We lament to state, that a very hard gate from " ft. E. wai experienced on Sunday last, from the Yorkshire coast to th<? Downs,- which has been attended with the most disastrous effects to the shipping. At Yarmouth and Winterton, thertf were Motile melancholy losses; eight vessels were driven i& h.. ret afflotlg these' H. M. gun brig Protector, and Swan. Revenue Cutter, were totally wrecked— crews of all theae Vessels, it is feared^ are drowned ; about 30 vessels lost anchors and cables in Yarmouth; rda< ls, and many more in the Downs, d- c—. Several are reported to tk'ashore on different parts of tliat roast ; and a great deal of wreck has been found near the Downs, & c. A chest ef wearing ap|) areh belonging to Mr. Gia. y, formerly Master of the Glory of'Aberdeen, and since Master of the Charles Forbes, has been washed ashore, with several, small pieces of wreck, near Newgate Gateway. It i* proper to add, that Captain StVoch at presenf^ oiUtnands the brig Charles Forbes, of Aberdeen. The Jean, Cumming, of this place, from London to Odessa, lost both anchors and. cables off DeaU The ship Brilliant, Beverly, of and for this place from London in ballast, was taken with the gale, when close in with the Yorkshire toast* and in carrying sail to clear the land, shifted her ballast, ami soon after lost her mizen- mast, in which distressed situaiioi;, the vessel with difficulty got into Whitby, where she suffered farther damage, from the number of vessels running in tur shelter. A small black sloop, about three keels, with a square top- sail, was seen about two miles to the southward of Xorta. Sunderland, in the violent gale of the 1 3th Hilt, in distress when a ftohing smack sent a boat to her assistance, but the sloop foundered before it could reach her; and the crew, which was seen on the quarter. deck, were all drowned.
