Charleston, Sept. 28.— One of the most de- structive storms of wind and rain vvas experienced last night and this morning, that has ever, within the recollection of the oldest inhabitants, occurred in this city. The wind commenced blowing about eleven o'clock, from the N. E. with violence, and, shifting to the N. and N. YV. raged with the most ungovernable fury, but principally from the N. W. until about half past two o'clock this morning. The prevalence of the storm solely fyom these points, without thc wind veering round to the . N. E. and E. is thought very extraordinary. It is owing to this fact that its destructive effects have beCn experienced chiefly within the city, and particularly in those parts of it most exposed to the W. and N. XV. The damage sustained by thc shipping in the harbour has from this cause not been very extensive. The sheet of tin which covered the cupola of the Circular Church in Meeting- street, about 20 feet in circumference, and vyhich vvas well fastened roi| nd with brass nails three or four inches in length, was completely torn up by the fury of the storm, and carried through the air into Queen street, a distance of about 100 yards. The iron vane at the top of St. Michael's Church has been considerably bent, and the top of St. Philip's Church has been carried away, ' fhe destruction and damage of shipping, plantations, and houses, also tlje loss of lives, appear to have been very extensive. There was but one stroke of lightning during the raging of the storm, and that struck thc United States' schooner Grampus, and shivered her mi sen topmast. The thermometer rose from 70 degrees at 10 o'clock, to 7at one o'clock. Tbe barometer fell in tbe same time from 30 deg. 15 min. to 29 eg. 50 min. The tide rose and fell, about one o'clock, six feet in 45 minutes. According to letters from Madrid, dated the 25th ult. Morillo was arrested on the 18th, in the village of Zurza, three leagues from the frontiers of Portugal. It is said he was recognized by an inhabitant of the place, who Tjad served under him in the war of independence. The Alcalde of the village arrested him on account of his having no passport. He was conveyed to Placentia, and it is reported that the Government has sent him pass- ports to enable him to travel freely to Madrid.— Morillo is said to have been implicated in the insurrection of the ( guards on the 7th of July, notwithstanding that he appeared to take au active part against them^ Shrewsbury, and tiie principal Medicine Venders throughout the United Kingdom.

On Monday night a Mei « sen< rei: left town with dispatches for the Hon. Wm. Hill, his Majesty's Minister at Turin. The dispatches wore supposed to be in answer to those brought by the same Messenger a fortnight since. Several of the Morning Papers have asserted that Lord Grenville has been appointed to succeed the Marquis of Londonderry as our Ambassador at the Court of Vienna. This is not correct Sir H. IVellesley wilt fill lhat important station. It is a fact, that between 900 and 1000 horses are employed by the different stage coaches alone between Brighton and London. Contrasted with this circumstance, we may state, that an inhabitant is now living who recollects when there was but one horse kept in the whole town of Brighton. The Cambridge University Election cannot be brought on for nearly three weeks, in conformity to its statutes. There are upwards of 1600 Eiectorg. A disagreement between two of the first distil- leries in thc metropolis, which has existed upwards of 12 months, during which time an opposition has been carried on in the spirit trade between them, by which both parties sacrificed £ 120,000, was this week accommodated, and in consequence the price of English gin has been raised 2s. per gallon. On Monday a Meeting was held at the City of London Tavern, to discuss a project to prevent the frequent breaking of the pavement by water and gas- light companies, and for the repair of the sewers, ju the Metropolis. Thc Meeting was but thinly attended ; but Mr J. Williams, of" Cornhill, the projector, stated the particulars of his plan. After commenting on the nuisance occasioned by the present system, he described his remedy to be, to construct ail arch, seven and a half feet high by f? ve feet wide, under every street, at the depth of about ten feet, in which the gas and water- pipes should t un along? supported on crqdles. From these sub- ways access to ihe sewers should be formed, and a communication be made at a distance of 20 feet apart from the houses, so that the necessity of opening the streets again would be obviated. He proposed to apply for a charter, to form a Company, who shoi^ ld receive so much pet- annum as a remuneration^ as thc Commissioners of Sewers and the Water and Gas Companies are now paying for repairs!, S^ c. Some persons sup- ported thc project; but it was opposed by a Surveyor, who said, the arch could not be built above, below, nor parallel with, thc present sewers in the City, On it being hinted that the plan had been adopted at Rome, ever since Pope? had been established, Mr. Williams was much astonished. It was determined to call another Meeting, and the parties separated. CURRENCY.— At a numerous meeting of the merchants, manufacturers,' and traders of Man- chester, held on Thursday last, the Boroiighreeye iu the chair, utQ take into consideration t'je rate of premium heretofore required, and usually allowed on Bank of England notes of large amounts, local notes, and cash, in the commercial operations of that town, and the necessity of making some change J here in," the following resolutions were passed 1. That the rate of interest heretofore allowed and charged as discount ou bills of exchange, or on large Bank of England notes, in this town, viz 5 per cent, per annum, is the same as was formerly reckoned by the bankers iu their accounts current— 2. That the bankers having recently reduced tbe rate of interest allowed and charged by tbem to 4 per Cent, per annum, it is expedient and just, that in all cases of payment by bills of exchange, or Bank of England notes of above £ 5 value, w|| eje no special ag reement to the contrary has been entered into, the same allow, anee should be made.— 3. That when ibe rate of in- terest, reckoned as discount on bills of exchange, was 5 per cent, per annum, the allowance made for premium on payments in cash, or in small Bank of England notes, was 6 per cent.—- 4. That a reduction of 1 percent, having taken place in the discount 011 bills of exchange, it is proper that a like reduction shonld be made in the premium on cash payments; this meeting therefore recommends that the allowance ou payments made in gold coin, pr notes of the Bank of England of , t* 5 or under, be for the fuiurp fixed at £ 5 per cent, per annum, or one penny per pound pej* mouth.— 5. That it be rpcoinmeutled to the com- mercial interests of this town, not to receive ihe pro- missory notes of country bankes, s, pnvableot} demand, and which are occasionally remitted here iu pay- ment, or otherwise thrown into circulation, except as bills at two months, or to take on any terms notes which are not payable at the places where they are issued.— G. That it is not the object of these resolu- tions to reduce the value of u « > uey, or to interfere with the right of making special agreements in any particular commercial transactions, but simply t<^ declare what, in the absence of such agreements, shall be held and taken to be the terms of settlement - 7. That the measures adopted at the puljlic town's meeting, held in August, 1821, with the view oF stopping the circulation of local notes, were for ii time attended wilh very beneficial consequences ; and thai it is highly necessary to renew and enforce! in every possible way, the regulations then entered into, as the only means of preserving to litis district ll. e advantages of ;; metallic! or a secure currency.

The Mermaid.— We have again pa refill I y in- spected this creature, qs minutely as [ is glass casing permits. Our opinion is fixed that it is a composi- tion ; a most ingenious one, we grant, but still nothing beyond the admirably put together members of various animals. The extraordinary skill of tho Chinese and Japanese i; i executing such deceptions is notorious, and we have no doubt but that Ihe mer- maid is a manufacture from ihe shore of tbe Indian § ea, where it has been pretended it was caught. We are not of those, who, because they happen not to bave had direct proof of the existence of any ex- tiuordinary natural phenomenon, push scepticism to the extreme and » ! euy its possibility. The depths o£ the sea in all probability, from various chemical aud philosophical causes, contain animals unknown to its surface waters, or if ever, rarely seen by human eve. But when a creature is presented to us, havino'no other organization but that which is suitable to a medium always open to our observation, it in tho first instance excites suspicion that only one indi- vidual of tbe species should be discovered and ob- tained. When knowledge was more limited, the stqries of Mermaids seen in distant quarters mi<" hfc be credited by the many and not entirely disbelieved bv tbe few ; but now, when European and especially British commerce fills every corner of ibe earth wilh men of observation and science, the unique becomes the incredible, and we receive with far greater doubt the apparition of such anomalies as the preseut. if is curious that though medico! men seem iu general to regard this creature as a possible production of nature, no naturalist of any ability credits it after five minutes observation ! This may perhaps be ac- counted for by tjieir acquaintance with tlie parts of distinct animals, of whi& h, it appears, the Mermaid is composed. The cheeks of the blue- faced ape, tbe canine teeth, the simia upper body, and tbe tail of the fish, are all familiar to them in less complex com hinations, & they pronounce at once that the whole is an imposture. And such is our settled conviction. Let us, however, in justice. to the owner of this i sea monster,' repeat our opinion, that he is by no means privy to the imposition. It is affirmed, thai almost all the eastern world? jnclmjijig Sir Thomas Raffles, ( a person of no mean'judgment,) held Ibe Mermaid < o be genuine; and lhat its purchaser believed it to be so, is witnessed not only by the sum lie gave for if, but by the fact of his having exhibited it origi- nally in a way the most likely to court detection, if false, namely, by suspending it by a string fastened to the middle of the back. u We lament therefore, to be compelled, in justice to ourselves, to pronounce the judgment we have done;— hut being thoroughly convinced that this Lusus Naturce is not natural, we are bound to say so, and to tell our readers, that if tbey go to see it ( as it is well worth a visit,) il must be to observe liovv admirably such a deception can be executed."

The French papers ol Tuesday last were received on Thursday. They arc filled w ith details from Spain of the operations of various parties of the Army of the Faith, and which arc stated to have been favourable to their cause. Hostilities appear to be conducted with all the fury usually characterising civil contests.—" The war between the Greeks and the Turks ( says an article from Bayonne in the Moniteur), who are the most barbarous people in Europe, will not give birth to crimes so horrible as those which we are about to witness. 1'— Private accounts from Bayonne represent the province of Navarre as a prey to the horrors of civil war. The Royalists are gaining strength, and Mina, finding them in too great force, has retreated. General Morillo, who lately left Madrid, has declared he will take no part on cither side. On the 17th of October, tbe superb Church of St. Peter, at Venice, was struck by lightning. In one moment the cupola was in flames, and fell in with a dreadful crash. The whole edifice was reduced to a heap of ruins. This church, next to the celebrated oue of St. Mark, was the finest in Venice. Paris papers of Wednesday and Thursday have arrived. Tlie King of Naples passed through Novarra on the 28th ult. on his way to Verona. The rumour that the Congress had broken up thus appears to be unfounded. Piedmontese papers of the 30th ult. give an account of tbe departure of the Italian Sovereigns, for Verona. The King of Saidmia did not leave his capital until the 28th. German . papers, to the 3d instant arrived last sight. They confirm the accounts of. the failure • if the fourth Turkish naval expedition. There was no actual engagement. The Greeks avoided one on account of the greatly superior size of the enemy's vessels; and their views being directed t;> the burning of ihe Turkish fleet, the latter escaped . destruction by a precipitate retreat to the Dardanelles. The Egyptian division separated from the Turks, and returned lo Alexandria. It is not expected that the Turkish fleet will be refitted, and in a condition to put to sea again, until spring. POSTSCRIPT. LONDON, Monday Night, Nov. li, 1822. The panic in the money market this morning is greater than any day preceding. Consols opened at 81, and within a lew minutes fell to 79. Since then there has been a considerable re- action, aud, at 12 o'clock, Consols were fluctuating* from 80 upwards. In the foreign market the alarm is beyond descrip- tion ; Spanish Bonds, which on Saturday closed at 01, were this morning sold freely . at 54 and 55; but there has since been an improvement, ou aceounr of several great capitalists buying; at 12 o'clock ihey were 5b. In other foreign securities scarcely anv purchases were reported, and the prices were entirely nominal. The rumours circulated were — the declaration. of the Allies from Verona, stating they would interfere in the internal affairs of Spain— the march of ihe French troops into the Peninsula— and the conclusion of a large Loan for the Royalists of Spain, sufsx'sed to be sanctioned by the high authorities at Paris. All the rumours which prevailed on Saturday on the Stock Exchange, of approaching hostilities be- tween France and Spain of the sudden separation of Congress, of the return of the Duke of Welling- ton, & c. & c. were renewed this morning with un- diminished confidence We can take upon our- selves, however, to contradict, in the most un- qualified manner, the whole of these reports. No intelligence has been received by our Govern- ment which warrants ihe slightest confidence being reposed in any of them. Mow tbey originated is not so difficult to understand, as it is how they should have been credited to the extent we see, in the total absence of every thing like official docu ments or statements from authority. We shall lYierely repeat, however, that they are wholly un- founded.— Courier. We have just learned that Mr. Hamilton, Mem- ber for the county of Dublin, expired yesterday morning.

The wines are of all kinds, from humble Port to imperial Tokay. Twelve thousand knives and forks, and six thousand plates, are expected to be employed Upon the occasion. THIS FUNICS.— Until yesterday the funds fully supported ihe highest prices — within £ per cent. of what they have attained either dining the present or any other account for a considerable length of time. Yesterday, however, the stock market was scarcely opened before a panic seized the speculators, and ihe price of consols fell suddenly from 82| ' o 82|; this change was to lie attributed to a report, w hich gained general cuneiicy, that the Congress at Verona had broken up, and that his Grace the Dnke of Wellington was on his return home. This news obtained more general belief as an express reached town, bringing accounts of a decline of from 1 to 2 per cent, in the. French funds at Paris. — To- day the panic, which was only partially felt in the city, was much increased by the arrival of several expresses from France vvith a sort of confirmation of the rumours above referred tu. Consols for the account opened this morning. at 82||, fell in the space of five minutes 1 per cent., and hefi. re half past ten, so great was the pressure to sell both by the brokers and jobbers,- that the price declined t< « 80$, wbile consols for Monday were sold so low as 80'. During the remaihrier of the day, the market, continued iu ihe most feverish state, the price of consols for account fluctuating between 80| and 81|. — Prices closed as follows : Ked.

ANTIQUITIES.— Ancient Weapon— A. few j days ago, as some miners were digging, and form- I ing a puddle or washing place for lead ore, at the Lead Mine Works, adjoining Oakland, ( Cihhcw) by Llanrwst, they discovered, in the ruins of the earth, 2 yards deep, a Battle Axe, in excellent preservation, which is supposed to have been lost and buried there since the great battle, fought near Gwydir House, ( now the seat of the present Lord Gwydir? which is near to, aud adjoining the above place) by the illustrious Cambrian Prince Lhm arch lien, with the Saxons, in the year 610. — Gwydir derives its name from Gwaed dir ; or, THE BLOODY LAND, in allusion to the above battle fought there at tbat period.

SIR, You are, no doubt, aware, and I hope your readers will keep it in mind, that the chief object of these SKETCHES is not so much to dive into all the arcana of Welsh history, manners, and litera- ture, as to take a passing- glance at the various topics that present themselves of this character, and moie especially such, as have any temporary interest. Vet it must not, on the other hand, be as; timed, that I mean to be always thus superficial, — merely skimming over the surface of the stream without ever venturing to explore the treasures that lie below. This is by no means my intention ; and I hope to shew, that I can be occasionally as profound as a Dutch commentator hiuiself, while at other times I may be as shallow as the veriest magazine- essayist of the day. By thus passing tc from grave to g\ ay, from lively to severe," 1 may expect to recommend myself to all tastes, duly considering, as I do, the importance of that vener- able adage,— tot hominum, tot sent eat iarum, to which, in all lucubrations of this sort, a writer cannot pay too much attention. I have thought it necessary to commence my present SKETCH with the laborious proem just happily concluded, on account of. the nature of the few remarks, with which I mean now to trouble you. Such of your readers as attended to the pro- ceedings of the last Session of Parliament, cannot be ignorant, that a sum was voted at its close for the purpose of forming a collection of the ancient records connected with our national history ; and, from the short debate that took place on the occa- sion, I have been led to conclude, as has every one else w ith whom I have spoken on the subject, that this public work is to embrace such memorials only as have reference to the English portion of our history. At least, I am certain, that nothing tran- spired to favour the notion, that more ancient historical remains of the primitive inhabitants of the country, the Cymry, were at all to be included in this truly meritorious design, which reflects so much credit on its projectors. I shall take it for granted, therefore, that, according to the present intention of Ministers, the Welsh records are to form no part of the meditated collection. It is for this reason that I now wish to call your attention and that of your readers to the subject alluded to ; and certainly, if the aim, ofthe projected work be to bring under one point of view all the most important records relating to the general history of Britain, I cannot conceive how the ancient Welsh historical writings can he omitted with any degree of justice, To contrary, it appears that such an exclusion would render the work extremely incomplete, inasmuch as authentic notices of the early history of the isluud are only to be derived from the literary remains of the Cywry. The annals of the earliest Saxon inhabit- ants ( even if any such had descended to us) could not be anterior to the close of the fifth century ; but it is well known, that for at least two centuries afterwards there is nothing of Saxon origin, of ' his nature, to be relied upon. Indeed, it is even a matter of reasonable doubt, whether the Saxons, at the first period of their connection with this island, were able to preserve any memorials in writing. On the contrary, it is generally admitted, that their literary character must have been formed long after then- settlement here. But what was the case with he Ancient Britons, or Cymry ? W. e have the most authentic proofs of their acquaintance w ith letters, and even of their proficiency in literary pursuits, at no very remote period after the arrival of the Saxons. If we had not direct evidence of this in the existence of so many ancient productions both in prose and poetry, we should still be fully justified in drawing such an inference in their favour from their intimate association, for four centuries, with the arts and refinement of Rome, and from the • articular character of their civil and religious, insfifu ions, which must hav£ been peculiarly "' avourable to the promotion of such learning as those ages were able to supply.- The foreg- oing remarks may be considered by many as vague and hypothetical ; but to enter into t e details of the evidence, by which my assumption is to be justified, would far exceed the limits of this cursory SKETCH My present, and more immediate object is to take a general view of the Welsh docu- ments, of which I think the compilers of the national work in question ought to avail themselves in order to communicate to it all the yalue of which it is susceptible. Of all the ancient Welsh records the Historical Tri ds, or Triads ofthe Isle of Britain, are decidedly tiie most worthy of notice, as well from their undis- puted aniiquity, as from the interesting- character o ' the events to which they relate. Of their genu- ineness, as ancient historical memorials of this island, there can be no doubt. The proofs of this, both internal and external, are remarkably strong. The peculiarity of their construction, their occa- sional obscurity, and their allusion to events, of which vve have no other record, bear unquestionable testimony to their antiquity. And that they have an equal claim to authenticity may be inferred from their concurrence, in many instances, with the testimony of the earliest Welsh bards, as well as with the Roman and Greek historians, who have written concerning- this island; from- i which we may reasonably infer that, even where they do not receive such accidental corroboration, they are not less entitled to our regard. The events com- memorated in the Triads are some of them extremely remote, not merely coeval with the first colonization of Britain, but having reference even to the primi- tive settlers before their arrival in this country. These ancient records were chiefly collected during the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth centuries some of them in the tenth century ; and a few, it is supposed, as early as the seventh century.* Then are many MS. copies in existence both in Wales and elsewhere ; and three of these, varying in a few details but agreeing in their general import, have. been printed in the Welsh Archaiology, Next to the Triads I would mention the scattered notices to be found in the works of our earliest hards, especially in those of Aneurin, Taliesin, Merddin, and Llywarch Hen, who flourished in the sixth and seventh centuries. Nearly sixty histo- rical poems under their names have reached our times ; and many of these bear internal evidence of their genuineness as the production of their reputed authors. They all relate, more or less, to the occurrences of the troubled times in which they were written, and supply many notices, not else- where to be found,. of the'wars between the Britons and Saxons. In the poems of Taliesin are also allusions to events of a much earlier date, of which there are parallel records in the Triads. That the true value of these bardie memorials may be duly appreciated, it should be recollected that the earli- est records of almost all countries are to be found in the effusions of the Muse," or, in other words, that Poetry originally anticipated ' the functions of History. And that this was more peculiarly the case with the C'/ W, TS to be inferred from the character of the Bardic or Drukfical Institution, which made the cultivation of poetry an indispens- able du'y as the means of commemorating whatever was worthy of being- recorded. The poetical works, ahy, popular opinion, interpolations and extraneous embellishments. Some MS. copies are exposed, on this account, to many objections, from which others are. in a great measure free. Mr. Lewis Morris, a distinguished Welsh antiquary, thus speaks, in a letter to a friend, of one in his possession. 44 I have written," he says, " abund- ance of notes in defence of mine since you saw it; and the more I examine into it? the better I like it. Iliad at'first but a poor opinion of it, being- pre- possessed with the character given it by English writers. But, when I find the poets and our gene- alogies and ancient inscriptions and coins agree with it, and some foreign writers, I do not wonder that the inveteracy of the old Saxons should still remain against it as long- as Bede is in being-." f This ancient Chronicle comprises an account of all the British Kind's from the earliest period to the time of CadwaTadyr, the last of the race of the < ymry, that had dominion over the whole island. It also contains many valuable notices of the found- ation of the chief English cities, to which, in most instances, there is every reason to give unqualified assent. And to what Mr. Morris observes as to the corroboration it receives from other sources, I may add, that it is likewise, in many respects, confirmed by the authority of the Triads. The Biut y llreninoedd is generally ascribed, to Tyssilio, a Welsh bishop of the seventh century ; and au authentic copy may be found in the Welsh Archai- ology. The work of Geoffrey of Monmouth is founded upon it, but is, generally speaking, a romantic embellishment ofthe original. I have not left myself room to enter into any details respecting the other Welsh writings, which might be of service in the national collection under consideration. But I may briefly advert to the Brut 1/ Saeson, or Chronicle of the Saxons, the Ancient Laws of Dy vneval Moelmud, the celebrated Code of Hywel Dda, the various ancient Genealo- gies, and, especially, the Genealogy ofthe Saiuts, — all of which are comprised iu the valuable Archaiology already noticed. Several libraries both in England and Wales contain likewise many miscellaneous " Records" and other ancient M'SS. never yet published, which would much promote the g- eneral views of the legislature 011 this occa- sion. In a word, I must repeat the opinion, before expressed, that no compilation of the historical memorials of Britain, especially with respect to the more ancient, can possibly be complete without borrowing largely from the literary treasures of Wales. ORDOVEX. Nov. 9,1822, * This is stated by E.

It would be desirable to know what has become of this MS. of the late Mr. Morris. And, since I am now on the subject, allow me also to ask what has become of the " Celtic Remains," which the learned Rector of Manavon has so long promised to publish ? HUNTING!.

President of Queen's College, was on Mon- day last elected Vice Chancellor of this University for the year ensuing.— The candidates for the re presentation of this University are four ; namely, Lord Hervey, Mr. Scarlett, Mr. R. Grant, and Mr. W. J. Bankes, son of Mr. Bankes, of Corfe Castle— the latter has announced himself a can- didate in consequence of the resignation of the Speaker on Tuesday, It is expected that the election will take place on the 25th, 26th, or 27th iust.— At the last contested election in the year 1819, the number of votes polled was 896; there are now, however, upwards of 1600 members of the Senate on the boards. On Friday week, the body of John Tomlinson, labourer, of the parish of Ranton, about seven miles from Stafford, vvas disinterred, after having been buried upwards of a week. It vvas opened and examined by a surgeon ( who found the stomach in an inflamed state), and was afterwards viewed by a Coroner's Jury summoned on the occasion. This proceeding vvas in consequence of reports circulated in the neighbourhood, sufficient to ex- cite suspicion of Tomlinson having been poisoned, and criminating his wife. According to these re- ports, poison was administered to him in some iwead and milk which he took for supper 011 the Sa turday se'nnight; it was said he complained of its disagreeable taste at the time, and soon afterwards said he was poisoned. He died on the following day,— After a painful and diligent examination of witnesses, which occupied two whole days, and did not conclude until a late hour on Monday morning, the Jury unanimously returned a verdict of Wilful Murder- against the wretched woman, and she was accordingly committed on the Coroner's warrant to Stafford gaol. Many very severe cases of accident were admitted into Birmingham Hospital during the night of the 5th, and the morning of the 6th inst. from fire- works, and the explosion of guns aud small cannons.

Of the RIGHT of any body of Voters, whether of patrician or plebeian rank, to coalesce in support of a favourite Candidate, no Englishman, I presume, will ven- ture to doubt; and for my own part, I never yet found that the cry of Combination proceeded from any other cause than CHAGRIN on the part of the Complainant, whose anger and vexation were ex- cited, because the alleged Combination took place AGAINST, and not in furtherance of, his interests or his ambition. On the second division of my subject— namely, tbe support given to Mr. Pelham by the Writers in the Chronicle, ( for that we must suppose was their intention when abusing Mr. Childe s Parlia- mentary Conduct), I shall beg leave to digress a little. There are two letters in the Chronicle, one of which is almost exclusively devoted to a detail of the Votes given bv Mr. Childe in opposition to various motions made in furtherance of, or in unison with, the Radical proceedings which lately threatened to create Insurrection and Disturbance throughout the Kingdom; and to an enumeration of certain other Votes of Mr. Childe 011 Questions of Taxation, from which the Writer not merely infers, but broadly stales, that Mr. Childe is op- posed to a Reduction of Taxation— a Supporter of High Prices— uud— and—' aye, there's the rub) NO RADICAL ! Of the Truth of the last asser- tion, I am happy to say, and not ouly the County but the Kingdom are happy to know, there is no question ; and it may truly be observed, that if there had not beeu some men of Mr. Childe's Nerve and Principles in the Country for the last five years, instead of debating about anew Member for the County, you, the Freeholders ofShropshire, might have been assembling at this time to protect your Families, your Altars, and your Properties, from the execution of the various schemes of Messrs. Thistiewood, Spence, Cobbett, Hunt, Car- lile, and Company. But it is particularly charged against Mr. Childe, that he opposed certain motions for the Re- duction of our Military Expenditure, and for the Repeal of the Salt, Malt, and Agricultural Horse Taxes. Let us examine the subject. And in doing so, let inc call to your recollection that 011 and pre- vious to the assembling of the Parliament, in tbe Sessions iu which the Votes referred to were given, it was distinctly stated, on the part of Ministers, that such examinations were making in every de- partment, and such retrenchments should be effected, as would, as far as possible, meet the wishes of Parliament and the exigencies of the Country. Without waiting to see how far these promises would be carried into efleet, various isolated motions were made on the Opposition side of the House for the Reduction of the Taxes above enumerated. These motions were opposed by Ministers, on the ground, not tbat they would not diminish Taxatiomof the articles mentioned, but 011 the ground that it would be inexpedient and im- proper to pledge themselves to reduce any specific tax, until, after a regular digested plan bad been adopted, they should be able to relinquish tbe tax without that detriment to public credit, which must necessarily have arisen from an acquiescence on their part in the remission of a branch of revenue, before they were able to say how that defalcation was to be met either by a reduction of the expend- iture, or a diminution of the establishment charged upou the country. Those, therefore, who relied upou the conduct und care of Ministers, resisted the motions o their opponents, w hile many, less con- fiding, joined in the popular cry. That those Who, with Mr. Childe, supported Ministers in these matters, were right, will not of course be acknow ledged by those who merely look at tbe superficies o-' tilings ; but to those who penetrate beyond the gloss of party, I think it will not be difficult to shew that by supporting Ministers on those occasions, a great boon was obtained for the country. For if, on those questions, Ministers bad been defeated, one of two things must have occurred, either the Ministers must have resigned, oi- Jtheir whole scheme of finance must fiave been given up ; and on either alternative it would have been impossible to have carried into effect that measure to which the dimi- nution of the taxes in question must mainly he at- tributed— namely, the Reduction of the Interest 011 the 5 per Cents That to this, in conjunction with a proper reduction of our establishments, the re- mission of taxation is owing, I think every candid politician must admit; and for this we have to thank Mr. Childe, und many others, who, regardless of popular delusion and radical clamour, preferred rational measures of substantial relief to vague theories and political declamation. On this point the writer above alluded to has re- ferred to Mr. Childe's Speech at tho County Meet- ing in March last, to shew how regardless Mr. C. is of the Agricultural Interests. Iu a Count', where Mr. C. himself is so well known, where all his connexions are" so well known, and where un- person that has any knowledge of Mr. C. or h is connexions must know that their deperidance, and their property, is solely concentrated in, or wholly derived troni tbe soil, such an assertion will gain little credit; but to shew the w ilful perversion of truth 011 the part of the blackhead whose lucubration I am now commenting upon, 1 shall take the liberty of extracting a part of Mr. Childe's Speech at that Meeting. Addressing the Freeholders on tbat occasion, Mr. Childe said, " As the sou and representative " of a considerable Occupier as well as Owner of " Land, 1 must request permission fo say a few " words to you 011 ihis most important question. " And, Gentlemen, notwithstanding all the ridi- " cule with which such un opinion has been treated " by the Hon. Member for this Borough ( Mr. " Bennet), who has just addressed you, I will not tips. tate to " iviivv » . r nriee mv most deeid Notice is hereby given, rilHAT the next MEETING . ofthe JL Trustees fpr putting in Execution an Act passed in this third \ ear of the Reign of his present Majesty King George the Fourth, intitule,*} " An <£ vet for amending- and maintaining the Jload x< from Whitchurch to Ternhill, in the County of " Salop, 11 will be held, by Adjournment, at the Dwelling House of Honor Jones; the White Lion Inn, in Whitchurch, on Saturday, the 30. th Day of November Instaht, between the Hours of two and four in the Afternoon, for the Purposes mentioned in the said Act; & nd that at the same ' lime the TOLLS arising and to he collected at BJetchley Gate, and Bletchley ; Side Gate, on the said Road, which said Tolls produced last Year the Sum of £ 116. 3s.

Whoever shall be the best Bidder must enter into Security, with sufficient Sureties, for Payment of the Rent, in such Manner, and at such Times as the Trustees present shall direct. f WM. GREGORY, Clerk to the said Trustee?. Whitchurch, Nov. 4, 1- 822. hesitate to avow at once my most decided belief, " that the evils under which the Agriculturist now " labours are chiefly, though not entirely, attri- " butable to a superabundant supply, and that such " excess has been occasioned by the stimulus gi ven <£ by the War, by the improvements which took " place in farming, by extensive drainages, and numerous enclosures, events wbich were followed " by the cessation of demand which the War occa- " sioncd, by immense importations from Ireland, " and certainly, till within these few years, from " the Continent, At the termination of the War iC then, riot oniy d. id a part ofthe demand for grain " cease, bnt an enormously increased supply was " poured in upon us; and it is to this caijse, I <£ repeat it— to this simultaneous diminution of " demand and augmentation of supply, that I " mainly ascribe the distresses of our farmers. " Gentlemen, to attribute them exclusively to tax- " ation, does appear to me to be, without exception, " the veriest attempt at delusion, which ever yet " was made upon the credulity of a people. I " wish yon, Gentlemen, to . understand, that i have " not come, here this day to make statements which i( I think will be popular, but to assert that which " I believe to be TRUE ; and such a course I shall " not fail to adopt, as often as I may have the u honour of addressing you or any other meeting- u of my countrymen. I appeal, Brother Free- " holders, not to your passions, but to your reasons, " and after stating to you, that ii) the year 1813, u which was one of acknowledged Agricultural < c Prosperity, the amount of taxation was greater u by seventeen millions, or, in other wprds, by " about one fourth, than it is at present, I ask any " man of the plainest understanding-, whether his " distress can he occasioned by a lighter burthen " than that which he bore without material incon- " venience then, and whether there must not be " some other cause which has produced it. ?" " Gentlemen, I am bound to declare to you frankly, " that I cannot altogether approve of the Petition " which has been this day read to you. In all that " it contains, relative to the depressed state of " Agriculture I concur to the fullest, extent. I " believe it wonld he scarcely possible to exag- " gerate the difficulties of the firmer, and to every fiC thing that relates to them I give my entire " assent. But I cannot agree to a declaration that < c Parliament has not done enough, at a moment " a Committee of the House of Commons, composed u of the ablest men of- all parties, is deliberating C( what further measures it shall recommend, and c< when we are still ignoraut of the degree of Relief iC which Parliament proposes to grant. Neither <{ can I petition the House of Commons for a return <£ to the establishments of former periods of Peace, <£ because I know such a measure to be absolutely t( impossible, unless we are to neglect those claims <£ which the war has entailed upon us, of which I ££ will now name only one, the half- pay, pensions, " and allowances to our disbanded sailors and £< soldiers, which alone amount to five millions (( annually. From Parliament, I am thoroughly <£ convinced, the country may expect all the relief <£ which Parliament has the ability to give, But a <{ paitial remedy I confess I think there is, to ££ which no one this day has hitherto adverted: ££ I mean fair and liberal allowances to the Te-££ nantry on the part of their Landlords. 1' I do £< think that the time is not distant, when we shall ££ have a clearer view of what is likely to be our <£ future condition ; that the improved and iinprov-<£ ing state of the manufacturing districts, com-££ bined with such further measures as Parliament £< may adopt, by raising prices will leave the " farmer less to ask, and tbat a reduced rate of £ t interest for money will supply the Landlord with £< additional power to relieve him. Then, I trust, " new engagements will be entered into, which ££ will leave the proprietor as large a real, though ££ a less nominal income than he had before, and ££ afford to the Tenant the power of pursuing his <£ occupations witii profit to himself. But, I repeat ££ tbat till such final arrangements can be com-££ pleted, I do trust as much time, as much indul-££ geijce, as much allowance will be given to the ££ Tenant, as it may be possible for his landlord to ££ afford him ; if such allowances shall not be suffi-££ cieqtly great to produce all the effect which may u he wished upon his pecuniary interests, they ££ will, I am convinced, be incalculably beneficial ££ ih respect to his heart and his affections ; they " Will tend to perpetuate the good will and respect ££ which has so long subsisted between the Gentry £< and the Yeomanry of England, and keep to-<£ gether that most important link in the chain of ££ Society, that which unites the Owner and Occu-<£ pier of" the Soil." After this, I think I may fairly leave tbe statement of the Radical Writer, who cat is himself u a Free, holder," to the judgment of those who are really Freeholders of, or Agriculturists in, this great and loyal County. Of the second writer in the Chronicle, or of his production, I need not say much. It seems by his letter that be is an enemy to legitimacy ( political and moral), and of course a thorough Radical, and of ibis we have a sufficient proof in ibe ease with which he has been hoaxed by Mr. Pelham on the score of that gentleman's Hospitality :— and here, by the by, I perceive I have omitted to mention tbat Mr P. in his addresses, bas good hnmouredly told the honest folks of Shropshire, that he is about to shew himself up ( as he always bas done !) a pattern of Hospitality !! Poor silly u Aspicius," forgetting the gay doings at Cound Hall, and the numerous retinue at tbe Castle, immediately cries up Mr. Pelham's " good cheer," in the hope, probably, of getting at least a sop in the pan. The £ t watchword" is repeated also in a band bill from Wem to Shrewsbury! Really this is laughable, I recollect some two or three years ago Mr. Pelham strenuously supported a Friend of his in a contest for the Borough of Shrewsbury, that friend was also supported by many of the really respectable persons who now support Mr. Pelham ; be vvas, how- ever opposed by almost all the resident Radicals, who are, by an odd association, now congregated about Mr. Pelhani; and I shall not repeat the epithets which tbey applied to Mr. Pclbam and his Friend, and his supporters. But now we come again to the Hospitality ! On that occasion Mr. Pel ham's friend was suecessful, and, to testify his joy, Mr. P. gavcaway a whole ox, and a quantity of bread ( it is a fact, for I saw it myself). I shall say no more, but, for the honour of Hospitality I will venture a wager, tbat if the said ox bad been cured as jerk or salted beef, and the bread converted into biscuit, they would have served Mr. P. and ALL bis Establishment up to the present hour. A BYSTANDER. Nov. 12, 1822, TO THE INDEPENDENT FREEHOLDERS OF THE COUNTY OF SALOP. GENTLEMEN* EFORE you proceed to vote for either of the present Candidates for your favour, seriously consider each of their pretensions. As to Mr. Pelhani, I only wish each of von, before you vote for him, to ask yourselves, prejudice aside, this question; Is Mr. P. a proper man to represent this County in Parliament?" and I am satisfied your answer must be u No." Put lo yourselves the same question, as to Mr. Childe, and j am sure you must reply, that of these two, at least, be is the more suitable man. It has been asserted on the part of Mr. Pel ha in, that he is an untried character, and I t. ay that Mr. Childe is likewise untried, so far, at least, as relates to this County. Mr. Pelham has not yet declared bis sentiments; be takes care to keep you in the dark vvith respect to theni- r- gnd until he does publicly declare ibem, what true reason bavj? you lo suppose that he will vote differently to what Mr. Cbiliie has formerly done. Take cure thatvou are not following upon a false scent— don's take heed of what any fox- hunting friend of Mr. P. eh uses to tell you of Mr P's sentiments, when . perhaps ic knows no more of them than, the poorest Freeholder in the County. Mr P. h. as talked of Combinations being unnatural and absurd, without perceiving that there is just as much a combination on his part as there is on Mr. Childe's. A number of Gentlemen, it is true, have come forward to support Mr. Childe,— . and some Geiwiemen, at least, have likewise done the same for Mr. P.; but the strongest party ought and will always be for Ihe most proper num. Mr. P. tells you lliat " in a question where t| ie Majority of votes preponderates, ihe few cannot govern." I would ask hiin, does he think that in such a ques- tion lire few ought to govern? Mr. P. too, has talked of his having supported ihe Freedom of Elec- tion, but the contrary is the well known fact. Mr P. also tells you thai ihis is a hospitable county, and that be is very laiely become attached lo it. Mr. P.' s hospitality and establishment have been lately sufficiently exposed hy another writer, so that I shall say nothing upon those points. What it is that has so suddenly attached him to you be has not thought proper to disclose. Call upon him, therefore, to declare bis sentiments ; when he. lias done so, il you approve of them ( which 1 do not believe will lie ihe case), give him your vote; if nol, be assured that by supporting Mr. Childe, you will al llie same time he upholding the true independence and best interests of the County. I am, Gentlemen, Your very obedient and faithful Friend, JUNIUS. Shrewsbury, Nov. 12th, 1822. The Ross Hall Mansion and Estate.

On Friday his Lordship invited a party of about 100, consisting uf his tenants and friends, to meet him anil partake of a dinner at the Town Hall. Lord Gwydyr returned thanks upon his health being drank, and addressed Ihe parly for a few minutes; regretting Ihe present depressed state of agriculture, aud expressing his intention of lowering his rents to meet the averages of the farming and grazing markets lie is reported to have said, " he could not see Ihut we can have any real and permanent relief without a great reduc- tion of the taxes, ami a diminution uf the Public Debt!"— Stamford News. The Right Honourable Lord Rolle has, we un. derstand, recently made considerable reduction in his rents; aid we feel pleasure in publishing the fact, that his Lordship, amongst many other acts of great liberality, gave to one tenant, who could raise but £ 400 out of £ 700, a receipt in full, and furnished hiin wilh a new lease at the price he considered himself capable of paying in conformity with the pressure of Ihe times.— West of England lournat.

A correspondent has favoured us with the follow ing copy of a letter addressed by Sir J. F. Leicester to his farming tenantry:—" Sir John Leicester lakes this method of informing his farming tenants in consequence of ihe continued low price of agri cultural produce, he has determined lo qiake'an additional deduction out of their rents, for Ihe present year, of £ 10 per cent, in addition to Ihe £ 10 per cent, before allowed, making together £ 20 percent.; which he trusts will be satisfactory to them."

HELL'S BRIDGE. • . A deadly fend subsisted between llie families of M4Phersou of Bendearg, and Grant of Cairn, and vvas handed down 44 unimpaired" even to the close of the last century. lu earlier limes the warlike chiefs of these names found frequent opportunities of testifying their mutual animosity; and few inheritors of the fatal quarrel left the world without having moistened it with the blood of some of their hereditary enemies. But in our own day, the progress of civilization, • w hich had reached even these wild countries— the heart ofthe north Highlands— although it could not extinguish entirely the transmitted sp rit of revenge, at least kept it within safe bounds; and the feud of M'Pherson and Grant threatened, iu the course of another generation, to die entirely away, or to exist only in some vexatious lawsuit,, fostered by ihe petty jealousies of two men of hostile tempers and conti- guous properly. It was not, however, without some ebullitions of ancient fierceness, that the flame which bad burned for so many centuries seemed about to expire. Once, at a meeting of the country gentlemen, on a question of privilege arising, Bendearg took occasion to throw out some taunts aimed at his here- ditary foe, which the fierv Grant immediately received ns the signal of defiance, and a challenge was the consequence. The sheriff of the couuty, however, having got intimation of the affair, put both parties Under arrest; till at length, by the persuasions of their friends— not friends by blood— and the representations of the magistrate, they shook hands, ami each pledged his honour to forget— at least never again to n member, iu speech or action, the ancient feud of his family. This occnirence was the object of much Interest in the country side ; ihe rather tbat it seemed to give the lie to ihe prophecies of which every highland familv has an ample stock in its traditionary chroni- cles, and w hich expressly predicted that the enmity of Cairn & Bendearg should not be quenched but in blood: and on this seemingly cross- grained circn in- stance, some ofthe young men who had begun already to be tainted with ihe heresies of the lowlands, were seen to shake their heads as tbey reflected on the tales and the, faith of their ancestors ; but tbe grey- headed seers shook theirs still more wisely, and answered with the motto of a noble house, 4 1 bide my line.' There is a narrow pass between the mountains in the neighbourhood of Bendearg, well known to the traveller w ho adventures into these wilds in quest of the savage sublimities of nature. At a little distance jf has the appearance of an immense artificial bridge thrown over a tremendous chasm; but on nearer ap- proach is seen to he a wall of nature's own masonry formed of vast and rugged bodies of solid rock, piled on each olher as if in giant spoi l of the architect. Its fs'des are in some places covered with trees of a con- siderable size ; and the passenger who has a bead steady enough to look down the precipice, may see the eyries of birds of prey beneath his feet. The path across is so narrow that it cannot admit of two persons passing alongside ; and indeed none but the natives, accustomed to the scene from infancy, would Attempt ihe dangerous route at all, though it saves a circuit of three miles. Yet it sometimes happens that two travellers meet in the middle, owing to Ihe curve formed by the pass preventing a view across from either side; and when this is the case, one is obliged to lie down, while the other crawls over his body. One day, shortly after the incident we have men- tioned, a'highbinder was walking fearlessly along the pass; sometimes binding over to watch the flight of the wild birds that built below ; and some- times detaching a fragment from the top, to see it dashed against the uneven sides, and bounding from rock to rock, its sound echoing Ihe while like a human vo; cc, and dying iu faint and hollow mur- murs at the bottom. When he had gained Ihe biohest part of the arch, he observed another coming leisurely up ou the opposite side, and being himself of the patrician order, called out to him to halt and lie down ; the person, however, disregarded the command, and the highbinders met. face to face on the summit. They were Cairn and Bendearg! The two hereditary enemies, who would have gloried and rejoiced in mortal strife with each olher on a bill side, turned deadly pale at this fatal rencounter. I was first at the top," said Bendearg, 44 and called out first— Lie down, that I may pass over in peace." * When the Grant prostrates himself before M'Pher- son,' answered the other, 4 it must be with a sword driven through his body.' 44 Turn back, then," said Bendearg, 44 and repass as you came." 4 Go back youmdf, if you like it," replied Grant; 4 I will not be the first of my name to turn before the M4Pherson. This was their short conference, and the result exactly as each hod anticipated. They then threw their bonnets over tiie precipice, and ad- vanced w ilh a slow and cautious pace closer to each other: they were both unarmed. Stretching their limbs, like men preparing for a desperate struggle, they planted their feet firmly on the ground, com- pressed iheir lips, knit their dark brows, and fixing fierce and watchful eyes on each other, stood there prepared for ihe unset. They both grappled at the same moment; but being of equal strength, were unable for some time to shift each other's position- standing fixed on the rock, with suppressed breath, and muscles strained to the 44 top of their bent," like statues carved out of the solid stone. At length M4Pberson suddenly removing his right foot sous t, o give him greater purchase, stooped his body, and bent his enemy down with him by main strength, till ihey both leaned over the precipice, looking downwards into the terrible abyss. The contest, vvas as yet doubtful, for Grant had placed bis foot firmly on an elevation at the brink, and had equal command of his enemy— but at this moment M'Phetsnn sunk slowly and firmly on his knee, aud while Grant suddenly started buck, stoop- ing to take the supposed advantage, whirled him over bis bead into the gulf, M'Pherson himself fell backwards, bis body gauging partly over the rock — a fragment gave way beneath him, and be sunk further; till, catching with a desperate effort at the stone aim . Vie, he regained his footing. There was a pause of . deathless stillness, and the hold heart of jVPPherson felt sick and faint. At length, as if compelled unwillingly by some'mysterious feeling, he looked down over tiie precipice. Grant had caught with a death- gripe by the hugged point of a rock— his enemy was yet almost within his reach-! His face was turned upward, and there was in it borror and despair — but he uttered no word or cry. The iteia limineut he loosed bold— and the next his brains were dashed out before the - eves of bis here- ditary foe; the mangled body disappeared- among the trees, and ils last heavy and hollow sounds arose from the bottom. M'Pherson returned home an altered man. Me purchased a eonim- ssion in Ihe army, and fell bravely in the wars of . the Peninsula.

HELENA," may not be uninteresting :— We have so . many declarations in 44 The Voice from St. Helena," said to be Napoleon Bonaparte's, and learning by the public prints more are expected from the same quarter, it behoves us to receive such accounts with care, and in many instances, suspicion, j the book- making occupation is a profitable one, and, so longas we can find money, curiosity, patience, and credulity, to wade through snch a mass of doubtful intelligence, the trade will go on. Lei ns examine one subject, the approach of- the cold season in Russia, in the autumn of 1812, that we may be enabled to judge of other asserted facts to be found in this publication. Vol. lst. page 191, Mr. O'Meara asked him 44 to what he principally attributed his failure in tliat expedition?"— Bonaparte answered, 44 To the pre- mature cold, and the burning of Moscow."— 4> 1 had made a calculation of the weather for 50 years before, and the extreme cold had never commenced until about ihe 20th of December, 20 ( lays later than it begun this time,"— 44 nearly all the horses perished In one night I last 30,000; the cavalry suffered in particular, out of 40,000 1 do not think that 3,000 were saved." My object is now an endeavour to shew, first, that the extreme cold took place in the early part of November, and not on the 1st of December, as stated in this Voice from? St. Helena -. and,. secondly, that it remains extremely doubtful if lie consulted any register of ihe weather, and the approach of the ex- treme cold. First, then, as to the real time of the commencement of the extreme cold, examine the 29lh French Bulletin, published inthe Monit'enr of the 19th of December, 1812, said by the Fiench pa- pers to be his own production. There it says, 4* to the 6tlj of November the weather was fine, and the movements of the army executed with the greatest success ; on the 7th the cold weather began. The cold which began on the 7th suddenly increased, and ou the 14th, 15th, and 16th, the thermometer was 16 and 18 below the freezing point, the roads were covered with ice, the cavalry, artillery, and baggage horses perished every night, not only by hundreds but by thousands." 44 Tite army so fine on the titb, was very diflerent on the 14th, almost without cavalry, without artillery, without transports."— Secondly, as to his never having consulted any register of the wealljpr, as to the approach of tbe extreme cold, 44 the extreme cold had never com- menced until the 20th of December," as declared by Bonaparte. Let us now examine a statement of Dr. Guthrie, an English Physician attached to the Col- lege of Cadets, at St. Peiersburgb, only 271 miles from Moscow, north, about the distance of Edin- burgh from London, from a ' mean of fifteen years, he says, 44 the duration of winter may be dated from the 9th of October to ihe beginning of May, and, tbat the real winter, when all communication hy water is at an end, and the water :- s solid as ice, may be dated from the 27th of November to the 19th of April, the ice frequently acquiring the thickness of two feet, sinking the mercury down 24,| below Zero of Rheanmur." » Aud to shew how much we may rely on Dr. Guthrie's average, the same as noted by Mackenzie, in lat. 59 9, on the American continent, nearly par rallel with St. Petersburg!*, on the 19th of November, 1/ 92, he found the therm, ome? er at 8 A. m. 15 degrees below 0, and such is the influence of cold on large continents, Peyrouse affirms, at the Bair de Cast res, on the eastern side of the continent of Asia, and in our own parallel, by digging a foot iuto the earth, ice may be found even in the summer. There are several other points in this publication thai will draw the attention of military men. Haw came Bonaparte lo take so large an army, as stated by Lord Li verpool, of 360,000 men, into the heart of a country depending upon the burning of a single city, and iuto a climate where it is certain death both to man and horse, to be exposed to the weather in the winter, uncovered ?

ANECDOTE.— Parson was once travelling in a stage- coach, when a young Oxonian, fresh from College, vvas amusing the Ladies with a variety of talk, and, amongst other things, with a quotation, as he said, from Sophocles. A Greek quotation, and in a coach too! roused our slumbering Pro- fessor from a kind of dogvsleep, in a snug corner of the vehicle. Shaking his ears and rubbing his eyes, 1 think, young. Gentleman, said he, you fa- voured us just now with a quotation from Sopho- cles; 1 did not happen to recollect it there. 4* Oh, Sir," replied our Tyro, 44 the quotation is word for word as I have repeated it, ana m Sophocles ioo; but I suspect, Sir, it is some . time since you were at College." The Professor applying his hand to his great coal, and taking out a small pocket edition of Sophocles, coolly asked bim if he would be kind enough to shew him the passage in ques- tion in that little book. Afler rummaging the pages some time, he replied, 44 Upon second thoughts, 1 now recollect lhat the passage is iti Euripides." " Then perhaps, Sir." said the Pro- fessor," putting his hand again inlo his pocket, and handing him a similar eHiliou of Euripides, 44 you will be so good as to find it for me in that little book." The young Oxonian returned again to his task, but with no further success, muttering however to himself, 44 Curse me if ever I quote Greek again in a coach." The tittering of the Ladies informed him that he had got into a hobble. At last, 44 Bless me, Sir," said he, 44 how dull I am! I recollect now, yes, yes, 1 perfectly remem- ber, that the passage is in / Eschylus." The inex- orable Professor returned again to his inexhausti- ble pocket, and was in ihe act of handing him an / Eschylus, when our astonished Freshman voci- ferated, 44 Stop the coach— holloah, coachman! let me out I say, instantly— let me out; there's a fellow here has got the whole Bodleian library in his pocket; let me out, J say— let me out; he must be a Poison,, or the Devil." Dreadful Accident.— Wednesday morning an occurence of the most awful description happened nt Clifton, near Bristol, lt haying been resolved to repair a pump, which stood over a deep but, e< « ru cealed well, and which had not been in use for up wards of forty years, situate near the Church, several persons were assembled on the spot, in order to make the necessary arrangements, when one of them stoop, ing down, and placing his hand upon the stone trough connected with the pump, the ground under i him suddenly gave way, and he was instantly pre- cipitated to the bottom of tlie well, a depth of 100 feet, together with the trough, tbe pump, aud a mass of surrounding rubbish. The others would bave shared the same fate, bad ihey not, in the act of falling, saved themselves by laying hold of some, thing near; one of them being left suspended to a stay- nail, of which he had ihe presence of mind to avail himself. A lighted caudle being procured and let down, it, had scarcely descended 20 feet before it was extinguished by the foul air. When at length got up, the poor man was found quite dead. GROANING AND CRYING.— A French surgeon lately published a long dissertation on the bene- ficial influence of groaning and crying on tlje nervous system. He contends that groaning and crying are the two grand operations by which nature allays anguish ; and that he has uniformly observed that Ihose patients who give way to their natural feelings, more speedily recover from acci- dents and operations than those who imagine it is unworthy a man to betray such symptoms of cowardice aud weakness as either to groan or to cry. He is always pleased by the crying and . violent groaning of a patient during the time he is undergoing a severe surgical operation, because he is satisfied that he will thereby so sooth his system as to prevent fever and ensure a favourable . termination-. From the benefit hysterical and other nervous patients derive from crying or groaning, he supposes that by these processes of nature the superabundant nervous power is ex- hausted, and the nervous syste, m is in consequence rendered calm, and even the circulation of the blood greatly diminished. He relates a case of a man who, by . means of crying and laughing, reduced his pulse from 120 to 60 in the course of two hours. That some patients often . derive great satisfaction from groan- ing, and that hysterical patients often experience great relief from crying no person will deny. As lo restless hypochondriacal subjects, to those who are never Jiuppy but when they are under some course of medical or dietetic treatment, the French surgeon assures them that they cannot do better than to groan all night and cry all day! By following this rule, and observing an abstemious diet, a person will effectually escape disease, an$ may'prolong life to an incredible extent. FOXES— At a party chiefly composed of sports- men, the following among other circumstances were lately related in our hearing— circumstances, be it observed, which have fallen under the ob- servation of the parties. Somewhere in this the neighbouring county, ( we forget exactly where,) Reynard was fairly hallooed from his hiding place amidst a ledge of rocks, high, secluded, and inac- cessible, yet withal conveniently enough situated for those nightly forays, by which he had laid half the hen- roosts in the district under repeated con- tribution. As the hounds were at hand, the brindled felon bounced away through bush and brake, distancing his pursuers in Ihe first instance, and holding out Ihe promise of an excellent day's sport. These exertions, however, were too violent to be long continued ; and the hunters knew from the increased yelling of the pack that they were gaining upon the enemy every moment. At this juncture, a gentleman who rode foremost in the chase observed the animal pause, look round, and then bound away apparently with fresh vigour and greatly increased speed.— r- Attracted by this cir- cumstance, he rode up to the spot, and there found a very young cub which the affectionate mother had carried at least two miles in her teeth, and which she did not abandon till the very last ex- tremity ! Situated as they were, the party had no means of restoring the cub, but as a reward for the fidelity of the mother, the whipper- in was immediately ordered to call off the dogs, and re- commence the sports of the day in a totally dif- ferent quarter.-— Dumfries Courier, TRTAT, BY JURY AT SAFFRON- WAT, DEN.— On Wednesday, the 23d of October, being the day on which the Quarter Sessions were held in that town, a ease of assault came on before the Petty Jury.. They were regularly sworn, and heard the \ evidence on both sides. On expressing a wish to retire, they were locked up in an adjoining room, j about three o'clock, and a constable sworn to keep 1 them in safe custody, and suffer no one to have access to them. About four o'clock the Mayor and Aldermen retired to dinner at. the house of the former. In an hour afterwards the Jury were seen parading different parts of the town, and convers- ing indiscriminately with their neighbours; among other places, they went into a public house, and regaled themselves with what they thought proper. About eight o'clock one of the Jury went home, and actually retired to bed, whence he was called up, about half- past ten, to proceed with the eleven others to the Mayor's house, to deliver a verdict of NOT GUILTY.— Chelmsford Chronicle. AMERICAN FREEDOM.— At the late extra Session of the Legislature of Tennessee, an Act was passed to amend the laws concerning mar- riages. No white man to intermarry with a Negro, Mulatto, or Mustee, or any person of mixed blood, bond or free, till the third generation, under the penalty of 500 dollars ; no Minister of the Gospel, or Justice, to marry such persons under the pen- alty of 500 dollars; and the said pretended marriages so celebrated shall be null and void. If any white man shall live with a Negro, & c. as man and wife,, he shall forfeit 500 dollars, and shalKbe indicted in a Circuit or County Court, and punished at tbe discretion of the Court; no Clerk shall issue such license under the penalty of 600 dollars, and be subject to be indicted and punished at the dis- cretion of the Court, CAPTURE OF A CROCODILE.— We were float- ing down the Nile one morning, within sight of Koutn Ombus, when we observed a Crocodile within fifty yards of us. Mr. Hanbury instantly fired, and struck it in the side; the monster crawled into the water, and then almost immediately came on shore again. In the mean time, we brought the boat as near as we could, and the sailors landed with shouts after him; as they approached, lie escaped once more into the water. The three boldest of them ( two Nubians and an Arab) leapt in after him ; they soon discovered him, and continued to elude his attempts to seize them, till one of the Nubians succeeded in finding bis tail, and so dragged him on shore. They then beat him with a hammer on the head, and a pistol- shot was fired into his neck ; all w hich were answered by groans and angry cries, till, after a long continuance of such treatment, he at last died. Tbe operation of skinning was then begun ; and, after taking the greater part of the flesh on board with them, they left the. rest to the hawks aud vultures, of which multitudes had been long collecting on a neighbouring hank. It proved to be a female, and not more than ten feet long, though full grown, and old. There were several balls in tbe body, which it had received from the soldiers at different times, and some evidently very long ago ; they were generally small, but there was a very large one towards the tail. The fatal one, which it had received from tbe common English gun of my friend, bad passed quite through the body, and lodged in the skin on the other side ; and I am quite sure that any part of the scales, except perhaps those just on the top of the back, is penetrable by ball at sixty yards, though the wound nmv not always be mortal. There was a male near, who came to tbe spot immediately after we bad left it, to seek his companion We WPTP snr. On Saturday week a melancholy and fatal acci- dent, happened in the house of Mr. Matthew Miller, a respectable yeoman in Gosuargh, near Preston, from an explosion of gunpowder. It is, we believe, a common practice in the country to keep this dangerous composition in the oven, as the place in which it is the least likely to contract moisture, Without due reflection on the extreme hazard of such a plan, two canisters, containing together about a pound and a half of powder, bad been deposited in an iron oven in Mr. Miller's kitchen On Saturday morning, Mrs. Alice Parkinson, wife of Mr. R. Parkinson, of Great Eccleston, and daughter of Mr. Miller, being then on a visit to her father, was preparing some pies, assisted by Alice Raby, a little girl, the grand- daughter of Mr. Miller, when a sudden explosion of the powder took place, killed the girl on the spot, and so dreadfully wounded Mrs. Parkinson that she died within two hours. The oven was shivered to atoms, and part, of it was found out of doors, The thatch on the roof was partly removed, and every window in the house was blown out. There was another female in the bouse at the time, but she escaped unhurt. Mrs. Parkinson had swept the oven before she began to heat it, but the canisters had escaped her observation. What adds to the melancholy circumstance is, that Mrs. Par- kinson had only been married about eight months, and was in a state of pregnancy when tbe accident happened.— Manchester Paper. At Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, and other large manufacturing towns, summary steps are taking against all owners of Steam Engines and Furnaces, who refuse to introduce into their works any of the improved methods of consuming the smoke arising therefrom. At Leeds, as will be seen by a report of the Sessions for that borough, the proprietors of all works of the kind there are ordered by the Court to make, within a limited time and under pain of a heavy penalty, such arrangements for abating the nuisance complained of as shall be satisfactory to a Committee appointed for that purpose. In Man- chester and its neighbourhood, as will appear from Hie following article, heavy fines have in several instances a 1 eady been levied :— At Ihe Court Leet for the Hundred of Salford, held on the 16th instant, before James Norris, Esq. Barrister at- Law, Messrs. Thomas Slater, Harvey, Tysoe and Co. Samuel Dewburst, and John Bowker, were severally fined £ 20 for nuisances occasioned by their steam- engine chimneys; and Mr. Ellis Hughes, for a similar nuisance, £ 50 ; the latter was subjected to this heavier fine, from its being stated that no attempts had been made by him to introduce any smoke- burning apparatus. And at the Manchester Manor Court on Wednesday last, several persons were fined from £ 1 to £ 5, for having smoky . chim- neys. EXPLOSION OF GAS.— On Monday evening, at about six o'clock, the neighbourhood of St. James's street, Brighton, was greatly alarmed by a loud ex plosion of gas in the shop of Mr. Allison, tobacconist, at the corner of Lucombe's library. It appears that the gas had escaped from one of the joints be- 1 tween the main eock and the burner; which Mr. A. perceiving to be the case from the unpleasant smell, he lighted a candle and stooped down for the purpose of discovering whence the escape proceeded. Tbe counter, being a hollow one, bad stopped the gas, which of course, on the flame of ihe candle reaching it, immediately ignited, and exploded with a report e, qnal, as we are informed, to that of a twelve- pounder. Mr. Allison's eye lashes were completely singed off, but neither he nor another person, who was in the shop at the time, were otherwise hurt. Three panes of glass in the shop window were broken by the shock ; part of the counter was blown to pieces, and a large jar of snuff was forced through the window into the street. In the library- room ad- joining, a violin, hanging on the walls, was thrown down and broken to fragments. The explosion was heard as far as fiast- street. Great caution ought to be use, d with regard to bringing a lighted candle into a room where gas is supposed to have escaped. Many accidents have happened in a similar way; and it is fortunate that the consequences, in the pre- seut instance, were not more serious than they have proved to be.— Brighton Gazette. were sur- prised to find in its intestines about two hundred stones, one or two of which were not less than a pigeon's egg-. It had a large tongue,\ of which the tip was fastened to the roof of the mouth, and four toes or claws on the fore feet, and five on the hinder, contrary to ancient custom, as exemplified in the Vatican, where are two sculptured crocodiles, of which neither has any tongue ; and the one five, and the other six claws, on the bind feet ns well as tbe fore. I have given these details, because, I believe, we are the only Egyptian travellers who ever had the fortune to witness the scene described by them.— Waddington's Visit to Ethiopia. RELIGION.— The following Extract is from a Sermon lately published: 44 Brethren, Religion consists not merely in speculation, but is in its nature a practical thing. Now there are many who have not the least pretensions to have beeu as yet religious in practice ; they have some opinions, and perhaps orthodox ones, but these have not the least habitual inflticnrc tl » c » r practice. Many who bear me know the truth of this statement. One thing- or another has constantly made you procrastinate the business of religion. One while you have been much in the pleasures and amusements ofthe world ; or you have had your families to fake care of; or you are deeply immersed in business; you have bad intricate affairs to manage : you mean to be religions yet before you die. Moreover, your minds perhaps have been hurt by . hearing of religious disputes, or of enthusiastic proceedings; and von almost think the whole is an imposture; you have been in the way of bearing a great deal, nnd you hardly know what to believe. What is all this but halting in the great concern of religion ? halting, perhaps, not between any two precise opinions — nor is that of any consequence— but halting whether you shall be religions at all or not ? You don't act so in worldly concerns ; there, you consider and determine. Even in the matter of amusements and entertainments, you don't halt re- specting which of them are the most adapted to your taste, which the best managed, ihe best finished, the completest in their nature and contrivance: and thus even in their dissipations men often spend their money with tasteand consideration. So in business: ihose whose object it is to make a fortune, are careful to deal with persons who are entitled to their con- fidence : they don't trust men at random. If a man is not likely to pay his debts, or be faithful in eon- tracts, what incessant care do men use, what address, to find out the truth, to avoid losses, and to recover what belongs to them before it be too late ! No halt, ing here, as iu religious matters. 4 The children of this world,' says our Saviour, 4 are. wiser in their generation than the children of light,' Apoplexy.— A recent Medical Writer observes : — 44 The alarming increase of apoplectic fits for several years past, has naturally given rise to the question— What do they proceed from ? Various opinions hare been given by writers on the subject, but none ap- pear to be satisfactory. Thus we are told, that to the inordinate use of malt 8c spirituous liquors ; to the anxiety attendant on commercial pursuits, which have increased greatly within the last century in this country ; and to a hereditary disposition, like many other diseases, we are to ascribe the causes of that terrible complaint. Now, as to tbe first position, it is not home out by historical observation ; for it must be recollected that beer was drank to a much greater extent two hundred years ago than in the present day, for it, at that period, constituted the usual beverage of not only dinner and supper, but also of breakfast, and that too, amongst the very highest classes of the community. As to the second position, it certainly rests on a better basis, but even Ihis will not do; for we do not find that sudden deaths are more prevalent among merchants than any other class. Willi respect to the idea of apoplexy being transmitted from parents to their offspring, it is cer- tainly more feasible : for we may observe in many instances, that a son will expire in tbe same manner and at tbe same age as the father had done before him ; yet we seldom find the female part of a family so disposed, when even so many circumstances con- nected with that sex conspire to aggravate a mm. bjd flow of blood to the head. Thus these opinions are no proper solution to the ^ question, as the disease cannot, in general, be traced to the above causes. 44 Now, from all the consideration I have given to tbe subject, and coupling it with many corroborative circumstances, I find no hesitation in coming to the conclusion, that the prevalence of apoplexy is, owing, in a great measure, to the introduction of the custom of wearing cravats, This observation will appear less extraordinary, when we call to mind the fact that ibis addition to our dress was not adopted until the sixteenth century, previous to which period the disorder in question was met with but as one to three compared with tbe present. In that day the neck was divested of every kind of covering-, except a slight frill, which contained no warmth ; and in- stead of detracting from the dignity, it added much to the majesty of the countenance. A mere shirt collar was worn on tbe neck by some people, but it did not operate in augmenting vascular action there. But I find another proof of the feasibility of my re- marks, by the circumstances of females being less liable to apoplexy than the opposite sex, although the nature of their economy might be supposed to lead oftener to the complaint. Now w e find that tbeir necks are not enveloped in padded ligatures, and consequently tbe proportion of sudden deaths among them is much less than in men. On these grounds I would recommend all classes to cease to swathe their necks with thick cravats, seeing tbat the custom is . attended by such evil conscqueijces." Paris, Oct. 22.—- EXTRACT OF A LETTER.— While waiting to- day at the British Ambassador's to have my passport signed for Madrid, a downright John Bull, whose face and general condition re- flected fresh honour on the roast beef of Old Eng- land, entered the waiting- room, aud after seating himself, he took it into his head to find fault with every thing in France. The system of passports was the peculiar object of his resentment. This Fiance, said be, is, a common prison. Itmay be right enough not to allow a foreigner to come here without some sort of permission, but that is not all. When you arrive at Calais, the officers of the police take your passport froth you, and tbey give you another paper,, in which they mark down your age, your size to the very tenth of an inch, the colour of your hair, the colour of your eyes, the appearance of your fore- head, and the form of your mouth. Tbev even mea- sure your nose, and put down on their rag of paper, whether you have a big nose, a middling nose, or a little nose, and what is more, they describe the character of your chin— in short, there you are bandied about from one officer to another, as if you were a common thief, advertised in the Hue and Cry, Well, Sir, yon come to Paris, and here you get into another mess.—-- Your name and description are sent to the Pblice immediately on your arrival, and you must go yourself to- the Prefect, to ask leave of him to be so good as to permit you to stay in Paris for a little while. He will give if, no doubt, as he is very glad we are come to fool away our money upon his country. But that is not all. Why is not an Eng- lishman allowed to go home when he likes, and as he likes? Here am I, waiting to get liberty to return to England— liberty to return. to my native country! Did you ever hear the like of that. Sir? Yesterday I went to the Prefect for my original passport, he told me to go to- day,, as he could not find it.. Well, I went to him the first thing iu the morning; he gave it to me, and desired me to come with it here-— to Sir something Stuart; when he signs it., I must go back again to the Prefect, and from him to the Minister for Foreign Affairs!! So here are two days gone, just in asking tbat this Government, in its great charity, would condescend to let me go home again. Well, if ever lliey catch me leaving Old England again, they may tie me up in a bag, and throw me into their muddy kennel of a river. Talk of taxes! why, Sir, a common shop- keeper here pays fifteen pounds a year, for his li- cense, or patent, as they call it.— Taxes! I'd pay five hundred a- year sooner than have my nose and chin measured in a manner as if I was a robber or a traitor. Talk of cheap living! why. Sir, now I know the difference, I could live in England 75 per cent, cheaper, and better too, than in Paris. The only thing cheap here is their wine and brandy — Cheap, did I say ? Yes ; when you say that you can get a bottle of wine for one and eightpence, it looks cheap enough. But I tell you Sir, it is dear. One shilling and eightpence is a great deal too much for a buttle of such sour, puny sluff, as they call wine. Take one glass of real good Port, as you get it in London, arid put a pint of. water to it— that is a bottle of French wine, it has no life in it. It does not elevate a man. It. is not wine for a man, Sir. Give me a bottle of good old Port, for which I pay down six or seven shillings, and I will maintain it is cheaper than the sour water which they call 4 ordinary' here. They are right in so calling it., for. in all conscience it is ordinary enough. As to their brandy— I am told that in some parts of' France you> may get it right good ; but, depend upon it, there is nol a drop of good brandy to be found in Paris. I know I have not seen it,, nor any thing like it, and what 1 have got was dear; for a very small measure, not much more than an English wine glass, they ehar. ge me at my lodgings two francs and a half. Their water is bad, U > more to be compared to our Thames water than a cock- boat to a man of war. Tbeir bread, too, is sour, it turns cold upon the stomach, and has no substance in it. I'll give you a proof of it. A friend of mine told me— and, by the way, he is as heavy a man as I am— he told me that he put a napkin over a quartern loaf at home,, aud stood upon it with all his weight for ten minutes ; the loaf, when, he got off, was just the same shape as before. For curiosity's sake, i sent for the largest loaf this morning which was to be had at the baker's ; I placed my handker- chief over it; but the moment 1 put my foot upon it, it became as flat and as thin as a sheet of paper, though it looked plump enough before. But it was all wi- nd, no substance1— no ; let me get safe to Lon- don once more."— I know not how- long mv angry countryman would have kept up, his philippic, if the time allowed, but the Secretary came in with his passport signed, and he actually ran out of the room, as well as such a man could run. One or two English- men laughed as he went out ; but they afterwards observed, that a great deal of what he had said, though said in anger, was true enough. Advantage of Small Farms.— A correspondent says 44 If that man deserves well of his country w ho makes two blades of grass to grow w here only one grew before, certainly the man who makes two fami- lies live comfortably where only one lived so before., must deserve equally well if* not better. At the- present time we not only hear of the pressure of the poor- rates, but likewise feel it, especially ou the- middle ranks of society ; but what is. The cause of tile evil? Some say a redundant population, some the want of habits of industry, others tlie want of trade ; lint none of these appear to be satisfactory reasons. The root of the evil seems to be in the extent of the farms, where one Innn possesses more land than is necessary for the support of two or three families : and, in fact, more I linn he can well manage. But admitting that a large farm is equally well managed with a small one, ( which is seldom the case) still there is only one family living comfort- ably upon it. Our forefathers thought and acted differently from what we do in this respect ; but whether ihey enjoyed less happiness or not, I shall) not take upon myself to determine. I will say nothing, of oue farm containing 10( 10 or 1500 acres, nor of the expense in erecting Ihe necessary buildings for such a quantity of land, and ibe capital required lo stock it wilh ; as it is evident a man must have sufficient to live upon before he can embark in such an undertak- ing. A farm of 500acres, which is worth to rem from 30s. to £ 2 an acre yearly, only supports oue family in affluence, or perhaps luxury; but if these 5oi> acres were divided into farms of 100 acres each, five families might live in comfort and independence— Large farms are the very bane of society ; for it requires a fortune to stock a farm of 500 acres, so that it must be a person of considerable property who is able to undertake the management of sncli farms as these ; aud it is frequently Ihe case that persons ofthis description are uot brought up in the ways of industry, lint a small capital will enable a man of industrious habits to stock a farm of 100 acres • lie will both superintend, and partly execute, any kind of work which is requisite to be done ; and as he will understand his business, he will not require any thing unreasonable from his servants or labour- ers, There is uo man but may sec the advati'ag- es of small farms to the country ; for in the instance above^ here are five respectable yeomen imlie one case, with their families happy around them, where in the otber there is only one gentleman farmer, surrounded by a tribe of labourers, whose spirits are broken down, because they know iheir situation cannot be mended. Perhaps many of these labourers had saved some money in their younger days, in hopes of renting a small farm ; hut as they found it almost impossible ever to be accommodated, they became careless, and their only resource is the parish. It will be a must happy day for this country to s, e land lei in smalt allotments to Ihe industrious labourers, who are now overwhelmed with poverty : then may Kngland exalt herself and appear as queen of the iiaTions. The objection most frequently urged against small farms, is the greal number of buildings which would bp wanted ; but ibis objection is more specious than real, for ihe houses attached lo huge farms are built more like mansions lhan farni- h,, uses ; a different style of building, at much icss cost, would answer better for small farms. 1' The celebrated Cunova died at Venice on the 13th ult. after a short illness. This distinguished artist, the Phidia3 of modern times, was not less eminent for his talents than for his benevolent anil amiable disposition. A dwelling- house, and about half ail acrc of land, in the Borough of Catnelford, which lets for £- 20 a year, was lately purchased liy the Earl ot' Darlington, the patron, for £ 2000. This spot, being freehold property, gave the owner a right to vote at elections for the Borough; and, an there are now hut three or four freeholders in the place, the value of their respective holdings Ijecoines augmented as their number decreases. As all the freemen and inhabitants of the place arc tenants at will, the diminishing the number of freeholders will go far towards extinguishing ail opposition to the wishes of the patron ou the part of the worthy and independent electors, who suspect that a very unwelcome species of reform is likely lo be in- troduced amongst them; by which £ 200 Burgesses will hccome wholly extinct. It is said that the usual compliment has not been paid to the electors on the return of their new Member, in the room of t! ie Lord Warden; so that some of them begin to fear they will not be favoured with any communi- cation oil the subject. A Counsellor Lillienstem, of Frankfort, has discovered lhat Ami Christ will appear in 1823; ten years of religious wars are to follow, and the Millenium will commence in 183ii!! Cobbett.— Cobbett has brought out a character of Mr. Canning, in which he takes a fling at the curse of hiyh birth ( the tjrapes be> ny sourj; speaks with vulgar familiarity of Pitt, Castlereagh, Addiugton, Perceval, & c.; and predicts lhat there is " ONE ( Mr. Hume we suppose) before whom Mr. Canning will fall as helpless as a baliy that tumbles on the floor from the leading strings."- Afler this comes the object of the whole, Proximo, sed longo intcrx- aUo— Ego el rex mens: " Mr. Canning and I started at nearly the same time. Afler some blundering ( quasi APOSTACY) on my part, I got into what I deemed the right course, which was exactly the opposite of liis. The question whether he was right or 1, must now speedily be decided." How we apples swim .' And thus we see that Cobbetl's object in blowing hot and cold for the space of above three heavy columns, was to draw a comparison between himself and Mr. Capping! There is a little disposition to creep up the Secretary's sleeve too, as may be seen in the follow ing extract: " Iu the year 1799, I think it was, he married a Miss Scott, whose sister, about the same time, was married to the then Marquis of Tichfield. now Duke of Portland. These ladies, who had very large fortunes, were the daughters of a General Scott, of whom I have never heard any thing other than that he got his money in the East Indies. I saw Mrs. Canning- not long after her marriage, and could easily believe, that her fortune, large as it was, had not gained her a husband ; for she was a very pretty, gentle, and amiable woman. To be sure there did require something in personal merits to mpet those of the husband ; for he, according to my judgment, vvas the very handsomest man I ever saw in my life. Not a ' pretty man,' not a ' beauty,' not a doll- faced dandy; but sufficiently tall, sufficiently stout, his limbs all at command', his step quick and firm, his voice sound and har- monious, his utterance quick and distinct, his emphasis strong without effort, his hair dark, his eves bright without being sharp ; and, what above all things I admire, a set of features every oue of which performed its part in telling you what was passing in the mind. How often have I, when reading his speeches, brought him back to my mind! In about twenty- two years X have seen him but twice, once in 1817, and once lately. lie is grown stouter, and something stiti'er in iiis move- ments; he has lost the hair on top of his head ; but his eyes and all his features are nearly the same as ever ; his voice is what it was ; his habits of sobriety give him vigour, and, in all probability, will g- ive him long life." REDUCTION OF RENTS — We understand from a tenant under Christ College, who occupies a farm about 9 miles from Cambridge, of £ 300 a year, that the Masters and Fellows of that Society have generously made an abatement of one- thin! of his rent, and promised a farther reduction, if the present distressing times continue.

ABERCROMHY AVD THE LORD ADVO- CATE.— It was matter of surprise in the last Session of Parliament, that the Lord Advocate of Scotland should not have recollected that he had signed a recommendation in favour of the Clydesdale Journal, and lhat he even expressed some doubt on the subject when bis own signature was exhibited to him. His Lordship's hesitation, however, on ihe subject is completely explained, if the statement made hv Mr. Alexander, and which we have copied in this paper, be correct, that the signature was an absolute forgery. In Mr. Borthwiek's pamphlet, there ap- peared, under the head " Additional Subscription paper for tbe Clydesdale Journal," the following eulry : " II.',. rj Mnmelitl, per teller, paid £ 25.^ With respect to this subscription, Alexander makes the following assertion, the truth of which mnv ho easily and speedily proved or disproved "' Mr. Monieith never wrote a tetter on the subject; never authorised Bnrfhwick to put his name to Ihe list • and, in short, never so much as paid the money." If Mr. Abercromby's charges against the Lord Advocate for his conduct in ihe esse of Borthwick bave been principally founded on forged documents, the future discussion of them will he much simplified. Mr. Alexander, Editor of the ( Hasgnw~ Sentinel, lias pub- lished " A letter lo Sir J. Mackintosh, Knt. M. P. explanatory of ihe whole circumstances which led to the robbery of the Glasgow Sentinel office, to the death of Sir Alexander Boswell, Bart, to Ihe trial of Mr. James Stewart, the younger, of Duncarn ; and ultimately tothe animadversions of the lion. James Abercromby, in the House of Commons, upon the conduct of the Right Hon. the Lord Advocate and various individuals "— The following are extracts : 11 But before I commence with the Sentinel it will nnt be amiss to inquire into the other charges brought against tbe Clydesdale Journal. IL is * ai, i by your Hon. and Learned Friend ( Mr. Aliercromby) that this latter paper vvas established, nnd recom- mended, and supported, by the Lord Advocate fur Scotland; and that Mr. Aiton, Sheriff Substitute of Hamilton, was the author of certain * gross' nnd ' atrocious' libels published in it. No-. v", Sir, will you believe tne when I say lhat both of these charges are unfounded J They have no foundation in truth. The Lord Advocate never supported, no. nor ever recommended, the Clydesdale Journal. I know von will stare at this ; and, with all the confidence of an old lawyer, you will, with a sarcastic sneer, point to a certain document which was produced in Parlia- ment, and to which it was said Sir William Rue's name was attached. But will your surprise be di- minished when you are told that the name so append- ed is not Sir William's— was not written bv htm, or at his request, or consistent with bis knowledge? And yet this is true! You may account for " the signature iu any olher wav you please.— The charge against Mr. Ait,' mis equally unfounded. The Sheriff Substitute of Hamilton not only never ' admitted' his having written ' libels' in Ihe Clydesdale Journal, but he never wrote any. lie was! not the principal writer nor encourager, nor was he the Editor of lhat paper; in proof of whieh I have his solemn lestimnnv ; iu support of which ( if it requires support) I c- iti most conscientiously lend mine.— Your Honourable and Learned Friend has managed to manufacture a third eh: > rge against the Clydesdale Journal, which is, that certain Gentlemen of tbe county of Lanark sent money in support of Iheir political principles. If Ibis is lo be a political offence, your Hun. S: Learned Friend may ns well at once assume as a dogma, that it is unlawful for men to think ; and there will be as much wisdom and consistency in Ihe declaration a » there is iu allowing tbe popular papers, as tbey'are termed, to be supported by means, which ' must he refused lo ministerial ones.— But il is worthy of remark, to shew the ' correctness' of Ihe statements which Mr. Abcrcroinhy submitted to Parliament at the instigation of the Edinburgh friends of Borth- wick, that the list of sums contributed for the Cly- desdale Journal hears '£ 25' from Mr. Monteith '• perhis letter'. Now, the fact is, Sir, Mr. Monleitii never wrote a letter on the subject— never authorised Borthwick to put his name to the list ; and, in short, never so much as paid the money ! So much for the ' facts' respecting Ihe Clydesdale Journal."
