RPHE sa'utary Effects of the CORDIAL M_ BALM OF ZCRA, or, PHOENIX OF LIFE, cannot be better exemplified than by the number of persons j from all parts of the country, who are restored to health, after every other means proved ineffectual; j many hundreds who were lately labouring under j infirmities, which rendered life insupportable, are j now enjoying perfect health and renewed vigour. J The weak, the languid, the relaxed, the emaciated, J and those who have impaired their constitution by J excess or immoderate indulgence, or by long resid- j ence in unhealthy climates, may rest assured of a J perfect and effectual cure in a short time. TO DR. LAMFRT. SIR,—- It is with infinite pleasure and gratitude, that I have to acquaint you with the success of your I truly invaluable Cordial Balm of Zura, in a ease of extreme and confirmed debility. I had but liltle | faith I must candidly confess in any thing, having | tried for the space of three years almost every remedy J that I have seen advertised, and without the least I effect, but nothing can exceed the delight, nay | rapture that overwhelmed me, ou experiencing such j au instantaneous effect, as followed tlie very first j dose of your invaluable medicine; and long before I j had finished two of the lis. buttles, I felt so com- j pletely renovated, as to excite the wonder and as to- J nishment of all my friends, I absolutely appeared to them as one who rose from the grave by miracu- lous interposition, But to attempt to paint the state of my feelings, would be utterly impossible : words cannot convey an idea of them, when I review the dreadful past, the grateful present, and anticipate the blissful future prospects of my rescued life. Never, my dear Sir, can ! hope to make any returns to you for the health ( through the blessing of Pro- ' videnee) confened upon me, but if a living reporter of your estimable name, and trausceudant skill in Ihe discovery and application of the Cordial Balm of Zura to cases of such distressing and confirmed debility as mine, can be of any service, you are at liberty to make use of my name and address, for the benefit of others, and, " though last not least," aceept, respected Sir, the humble tribute of a heart j deeply imbued with gratitude, and abounding uith I everv good wish for vou here and hereafier.

This Tea, so pleasant to the taste and smell, is an effectual purifier of the blood, and, by promoting genlle perspiration, powerfully assuages those excruciating pains derived from the gout or rheumatism ; nnd is of sovereign efficacy in removing complaints of the head, invigorating the mind from those self- created alarms which too frequently render the existence of nervous people intolerable. Drank warm at night, it promotes refreshing rest, aud is a restorative cor- dial lo the constitution of such as keep late hours, or live ion freely.

SPAIN— The last news received by Ministers from Spain, ( says the Courier) was of great moment:— When Sir W, A'Court transmitted the dispatches to Captain Jones, of the Sappho, be gave him to understand ihat as they were of ex- tiaordiuary importance, he trusted every possible exertion would he used to expedite their arrival in England, aud delivery at the Foreign Office. The Sappho arrived at Portsmouth on the I2th inst. and on Wednesday, al Mr. Seeietary Canning's requisition, Captain Jones was requested to travel to Portsmouth with the King's Messenger, to pre- vent delay.— It is understood Ihat the French Ministers have annulled the Decree issued by the Duke d'Angotileme at Andujar, which, in certain cases, directed the release of persons imprisoned in Spain fur political offences. The Russian Cabinet hail for some time urged the repeal of this Decree; and the Regency at Madrid, supported by a Foreign Power, have gained their point. Whether the Duke d'Angoulonie can therefore consistently with his feelings continue in the command of the French Army, is a question which would be pro- ductive of important consequences upon Ihe fate of Spain, but more particularly upon the negotia- tions which have been for some time going on with the Cortes at Cadiz The brilliant successes of the French had led to such consistency in Ihe dis- cussion, that reasonable prospects were entertained of ultimate success— It often affords matter for serious reflection, that opposite principles and systems lead to Ihe same results; and that the prolongation of Ihe horrors of war may tie as much i- iwing lolhe influence of a Foreign Power ( Russia) upon the Regency of Madrid, as to the violent pretensions of Ihe Cortes at Cadiz. The capture of the Trocadero has been actively followed up by the French, who had on the 5th already commenced the bombardment of Puntales, the only accessible point occupied by the Constitu- tionalists.— In Cadiz the loss of the Trocadero ap- pears to have produced a powerful impression; an insurrection, it is said, broke out in the city on the 3d. inst. which was not suppressed until a con- siderable force had been introduced from the Island. Oil the following day Alava entered the French camp, as the bearer of a proposition for ail arrangement; but the Duke of Angoulenie de- manding as a sine i/ uA von that the King should he set at liberty, of which he would receive 110 proof but the presence of Ferdinand, the negocia- tion abruptly terminated.— The French then re- doubted their preparations for the attack, which, it is said, is to be made iu the first instance at Chinchilla, On the side of the island most remote from Cadiz, but most accessible from ( he Coil tHicnt. BRAZIL.— Accounts from Baliia stale that the Portuguese forces evacuated that placc on the 2d of July. The fleet, which amounted to eighty sail, was pursued by the Brazilian squadron, command cd by Lord Cochrane; and intelligence has since been received of his Lordship's fleet having captur « l several of the Portuguese vessels.

ABERYSTWITH — A correspondent informs us that having been lately at Aberystwith, and not having seen the place for many years, he could not suppose it possible that such improvement would have taken place in so short a space of time ; the accommodations afforded to the public are far beyond what he was led to expect. The rides and walks in and about the town are delightful ; ihe hotels and lodging houses of the best description ; the new rooms handsome and well conducted ; aud tlie baths lately erected particularly neatand com- fortable, admitting of a constant flow of water without waiting for tides — they consist of a suite of warm baths, a plunging, a shower, and a vapour bath, the latter upon a new and improved plan, with lodging rooms for invalids within the building. To the invalid and valetudinarian, who seek relief in refreshing sea- breezes, and safe bathing ( the shore being particularly excellent for the purpose), there can be nothing superior to it; and there can be iiltle doubt, from the advantages it. possesses, but that it will continue, what it at present is, - fashionable and much- admired watering- place. We are sorry to slate, that the Banking- House of Messrs. Wood, Wood, and Co. at Cardiff, stop ped payment on Monday last.— Cambrian, Sept. 1!) The sum of £ 8 was a few days ago distributed in bread lo the poor of Llnufair, Montgomeryshire, being the amount of fines levied 011 two individuals for u; • iwfully cutting timber 011 the Llwydiarth Park estate of Sir W.

By the indefatigable exertion and liberality of VVm Pugli, F. sq. of Hiynllownreh, aided by the other Gentry and the Canal Proprietors of the County of Montgomery, an improvement of the new line of road from Newlown to Builth has been commenced, which will in the first instance take a more westerly diiection from Newtown, and ultimately follow the course of Ihe river Eithon from its source to Llanbadarn- vynydd.

Mr. Trevor, second son of Viscount Dungannon, died at Staplcton- park, Yorkshire, last Thursday evening, at'nine o'clock, after having languished in a state of insensibility from the period when he received the concussion on the brain, as mentioned in our last paper, up to the time of his death.— PARISH VESTRIES— A Correspondent requests us to insert, for general information, that, hy 59 » li Geo. III. c. 85, " It is enacted, that no person who shall have refused or neglected to pay any rate for the relief of the poor which shall be due from and shall have been demanded of him, shall be entitled to vote or to be present in any vestry of the parish for which such rate shall have been made, until he shall have paid the same nor shall any clerk, secretary, steward, or agent, be entitled to be present or to vote, nor shall be present or vole, at any vestry in such parish, unless alt rates for the relief of the poor, which shall have been assessed and charged upon or in respect of the annual rent, profit, or value, in right of which any such clerk, secretary, steward, or agent shall claim to be present and vote, which shall be due, and which shall have been demanded at any time before the meeting of such vestry, shall have been paid and satisfied." STAFFORD PEERAGE.— A most important . pveut has lately taken place, which is likely very speedily to affect the claim made by Sir George Jerningham, Bart, to the ancient- Barony of Stafford, in the discovery of most valuable documents relative to the descent, both lineal and collateral, of a male heir to this ancient Peerage, which he has for some time been most assiduously collecting. The present claimant, Berkeley Buckingham Stafford, Esq. of Maine, county of Louth, Ireland, has sncceeded in obtaining these, and many other papers of import- ance, collected by his late father, Colonel Edward Smith Stafford, of Maine, which he purposes imme diately submitting to the consideration of the House of Peers, having already obtained high legal sanction for this step. Such a competitor deriving from the male line, and claiming under the Act of Restitution of the Barony, in the first of Edward VI. whereby the succession was settled on the heir male, must endanger the pretensions of Sir George Jerningham, or of any who derive through females.— London Paper. It is said to be the opinion of the Board of Taxes, that Victuallers are not entitled to exemp- tion under the Act of 4th Geo. IV. cap. 2, for the windows in their bars or parlours. Lord John Townshend and the venerable Earl of Carlisle are nearly the only remaining branches of nobility, who, during the last century, in the days of their youth, were considered the pink of fashion. The writer of this is old enough to remember the former one of the handsomest men in England, and the characteristic elegance of the latter, both in person and in dress, are admirably delineated by the pencil of Sir Joshua Reynolds, in one of the finest whole- length portraits ever painted by that . . - .,.. , o. vauun a, Combs, Work Boxes,^ Silk and Gingham Umbrellas, Parasols, Paper and Japanned Teaboards, & c.

In the course of a long day's hunting, it is 10 to 1 in favour of a hold and good rider, well monuteri, that he meets with any accident at all. 2d. Supposing he falls, it is 8 to 1 that either he or his horse, is materially hurt. 3d* It is 6 to 1 the horse is hurt and not the rider. 4th, If the rider is hurt, it is 12 to I that a bone is not broken. 5th. It is 20 to I if a bone is broken, that the wound is not mortal. Ergo 10 >< 8' X" 0 % 12 X 20 equal 115,200 : 1 X 1 X 1 X ' X 1 < q » < tl 1. And 115,200 equal 1— thus stated, il details : That he has no fall is 10 to 1 That himself or horse is not hurt, 80 to 1 That it is his horse and not himself, 480 to 1 That no bone is broken, 15,760 to 1 That the hurt is not mortal, 115,200 to 1 Ergo, out of 115,200 persons who go out hunt- ing in the morning, but one is supposed lo end his course that way on that day.

This is not a character to call forth the display of powerful talent ; but it requires a mind familiarized. to stage business, and schooled in the Graces. The prevailing feature of Miss Middle toiV's acting was temperance aud chasteness of manner. Her figure is well formedj for comedy ; sufficiently erc bon point to impress us with the jocund attributes of Thalia— forming a. happy medium between the slender, which might imply care or sickness, and the robust and lusty, which bear the indications of unfeminine qualities. Miss Middletou prudently abstains from over- acting her part; and she w ill find, that to study her art within this province will give her many ad vantages over persons who look to those efforts in acting which would surprise, our " barren spectators;" but which leave better judgvments unexcited, or inoyed only by disappointment. We can have no doubt of Miss Middieton's success ; she has only to await, a gradual developement of hei' powers * studying' her profession as an- artist of the passions ;. and never forgetting thati i nature is her subject, and men Tier auditors." We regret that we did not witness her efforts in Tragedy, which have been spoken of in terms of great admiration.— Newcastle- under- Lyme Express. The Brome estate, Suffolk, to which the repre- sentation of Eye is an appendage, was sold by the Marquis Cornwallis, shortly before his death, to Mr. Kerrison, of Bungay for.

Considerable improvement is making in the town of Stourbridge ; the streets are now re- paving, and the foot- paths are to be flagged. The erection of a spacious market- house, and the lighting of the streets whh gas are also con- templated. The capitalists in these manufacturing districts have reaped a rich harvest, by the last rise in the price of cottons. It is confidently asserted that a rich house in the neighbourhood of Blackburn has realized upwards of £ 40,000 by one speculation. This rise is attributed to the increased demand for our manufactures in foreign countries.— Maccles- field Courier. The Salisbury Journal says,— In conse- quence of the numerous applications for infor- mation relating to the progress of the case of hydrocephalus, or water of the brain, which we noticed in our paper of this day fortnight, we have made the necessary inquiries, and learn that the case proceeds with continued prospects of a for- tunate result. The operation has been repeated thrice since our former notice, in all eight times the quantity of water removed, ten pints. The head ofthe infant, in consequence, i^ much dimi- nished in size, and the improving health of the child such as affords great hopes of success." Flax.— The growth of flax is now admitted by many agriculturists to be an excellent preparation for a wheat crop ; added to which, the preparation ofthe raw material is found to give employment to many poor persons, particularly boys and girte. Its cultivation is therefore encouraged in Wiltshire; and Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, has also offered en couragements to its cultivation on his estates. Sir Everard Home has recently made sonie interesting enquiries by way o£ eomjm'isoii, between the auricular organs of Man and quadru- peds, The result of his researches seems to prove that shrill tones, or the upper notes of an instru- ment, have comparatively little effect in exciting the attention of animals, whilst the full lower tones stimulate them almost to fury. Sir Everard ob- serves, u that the effect of the hi< r'n notes of the piano forte upon the great lion in Exeter ' Change, only called his attention, which was considerable, though he remained silent and motionless. But no sooner were the fiat, or lower notes, sounded, than be sprang up, lashed his tail, and yelled violently, and endeavoured to break loose; and became altogether so furious as to alarm the spectators present. This violent excitement ceased with the discontinuance of the music. The deep tones of the French horn also produced a similar effect with the lower tones of the piano- forte, on the elephant, and other animals, on which the experiment was made." Swimming.— From experiments made at Ports- mouth, by Lieut. C. Morton, R. N., it appears, that by artificially augmenting the surfaces of the hands and feet, the art of swimming- is susceptible of being very much facilitated. The apparatus which Lieut. Morton has lately employed, and which, from its use, and facility and similarity of application, he denominates " Marine propelling- Gloves and Slippers," possesses considerable buoy ancy, and, therefore, while it enables the wearer to exert his strength to the best advantage as long as he retains any, it would still tend to support him if totally exhausted. Mr. John Lawrence, in a letter to the Counfy Herald, says, " Our new discoveries often partake no little of the ludicrous. A list of them, during the last half century, would be amusing. I refer, at present, to the newly discovered plan, now practised successfully in France, according to newspaper in tellig- ence, of cutting wheat while the kernel is i\ the milky state, and before it should hare become thoroughly ripe. Now, so long as I can remember it has been represented as an ancient point in dis pute, whether or not it be more profitable to cut wheat in that state, or suffer it to stand until ripe, Nearly, or altogether 20 years ago, the point wa controverted in the Agricultural Magazine, an eleswhere, and I bore my share in the discussion In 1810 or 1812, when t was at Farnham, accordin. to my recollection, Mr. Musquet, ihen steward the present Duke of Norfolk, shewed me a sack of wheat which had been reaped and got up green The dispute was then adverted to, and Mr. Mus- quel favoured that practice. I had previously madi the experiment, but with no favourable result, the corn shrinking greatly in the natural process of dry ing, whence, the sample was much reduced in value and no doubt the corn itself in quality. As a mat ter of convenience, such practice may often be eligible and expedient; but I should concei ve, ever with some sacrifice, as to the quantity of the wheat. I have no idea that perfection can arise out of im- perfection, or that wheat can be in a state of per- fection, independent of its due portion of the solar heat." A paper warfare has for some time been carried on between the Presbytery of Lanark and Mr. Owen ; Mr. O. being accused by the former of forbidding the use of the Scriptures in the schools he has founded at his place of residence ; against which accusation he most laboriously endeavours to defend himself, declaring- that though he considers the Scriptures unfit book? for the use of schools, he never forbade the use of them in either of his establishments. Another clraVgn brought by the Presbytery is, that of Ugktn. iis\ of c. hftiddefAw the young females of New Lanark ; which charge Mr. Owen refutes, by declaring that not one in a hundred of them has an illegitimate child annualh/ ! Mr. O. also states that the Presbytery has become prejudiced against him, in consequence, of the un- founded assertions and writings of a youiig infatu- ated female, once a teacher hi one of his establish- ments, and a mistake in one of his male teaehers, who, on being commanded to teach the children their catechism, on a Sunday only , erroneously un- derstood that they were not* to read the Scriptures but on that day. In one al the Scols papers is a letter, in which it is stated, that undue profit is made in the supply of the Lanark establishment with provisions, and that " the bubble must soon burst to the world at large." GLOUCESTER MUSIC MCETING.— TheTrien- nial Festival, for the benefit of the Widows and Orphans of Poor Clergymen, was held at Glouces- ter ou Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday last. The collections amounted to £ 759. 14s. 5d. bein « - £ 71. 18s. 7d. more than was collected in J820— a proof of the distinguished merits of the perform- ances, and ofthe rank, respectability, and numbers of the company. lttPottTAfiT POLICE INTELLIGENCE —' The Magistrates of the Chelmsford Bench # ere engaged ou Friday last iH hearing an Excise information, which we are more particular in noticing, because it most seriously affects a numerous class of trades- men, who in consequence of being obliged tooccupy extensive dwellings and warehouses, are of course liable to taxes, ptwir rates, licences, 6cc.— we meaii grocers and tea dealers, w ho have of late been con- siderable sufferers from a practice put in force for the illegal vending of tea hy itinerants, who pretend to go about the country tor orders in the nature of commercial travellers ; but who, in fact, deposit their tea at a public- house, or other place, in every town or village they go to, while they take a walk to the houses which best suit their views, take a few bespeaks for the precious beverage, and then with their packed- up half and quarter pounds, serve not only the persons ordering, but all others who conic in their way; and in which the ever- itching hand to possess something contraband, is very° freeiy offered. The penalties attached to this traffic, perhaps not generally known, are , t' 10< » on the seller, and £ 10 on fftfc purchaser. The defendant in the present Hitse, Stephen ipwrgem, who . describ- ed himself as living at Hiilsfed, in this county, hut not a house- keeper, was proved to have called at the Canteen, at the Barracks, after leaving his inn, at Chelmsford, where two parcels, that even the landlord who had them under his own lock and key- in a place of concealment was al a loss to knout how they came there, but there thev were found and without an enquiry as to the cost of carriage or warehouse room, delivered to the defendant," and contained about 14| bs of tea, done up in half aud quarter pounds, and marked with as much caution and quite as unintelligible to most purchasers as if they Imd been marked by the baud of a Chinese. With these parcels, the'rlefendaiit commenced his day march in a gig-, and sold the tea at divers places - bis first sale being at the Running JIare public- house, at Galleywood Common, where un- fortunately, for him, ' instead of. his ' aerpr failing previous order, he asked the landlady with much good humour, whether she wanted ani/. thing in his watt I hat. da,'/. She answered him in the affirmative, and goingto his gig. requested his companion there to give him one of the parcels, which the defendant handed to Mrs. Smith, and she paid for it. This circumstance was so clear, that Mr. Latten, Ihe Officer for the Crown, deemed it unnecessary to call evidence to other acts of sale ; and the Bench, after deliberation, convicted the defend, ant in £ 100 penalty ; but in consideration' of its being- his first appearance in that character BtSroim THEM, mitigated the penalty to a fourth, , t'- 2">, which he at first promised to pay, but afterwards informed the Magistrates he should appeal against the conviction at the Sessions. After this case was disposed of, Mr. Archer, the Clerk, produced in- formation against twenty persons as purchasers, amongst whom was the above- named Mrs. Smith, for the penalties of £ 10each ; but the persons who acted on behalf of the regular traders, hoping that this public enquiry would operate as a caution for the future, consented to withdraw them, or it is probable £- 200 more would have been recovered against such purchasers.— Fssex Herald. - INCREASE OF BOLTON— The competition iu building in this town and its vicinity, at Ihe ore- sent lime, far exceeds any former period within the memory of the oldest inhabitant.

THE PRESENT STATE OF III ELAND. A popular Dublin Print, evidently in allusion o tlie horrible murder recently committed on Mr. anks and his family, in the Counfy " f Cork, as elated iu our last Journal, contains ihe foll- nving comments Kpo. i the wretchedness of the lower lass of Peasantry iu tins unfortunate part of the British empire :—- here is now well founded reason lo expect tin bniithint crop. That- pari of it on which the pea. ntry chiefly * tl! » *-' srt. was never belter, b.- th as lo inutility nn. d qualify. Hut what of that :— tlie bounty of Nature seems to be lost in Ireland Nei. their plenty nor scarcity, health nor sick ness, appears to change tin- morbid conformation of Society in his " Emerald Me." The peasantry of the South re, to he sure, a set of precious jewels, if the cqui- lis- onri of atrocious crimes can add any lustre to the haracter of man. What has induced ti e ferocity of many of the lower orders? What lias unhinged their morality, their religion, aud those feelings common lo human nature? There must he some, thing rotten in the whole system. If the peasant-; he oppressed, the oppressors will suffer ihe relri. biitivc punishment of unjust conduct. If land be led too highly, il must fall to a fair price. If tithes he too hurthensnnic they must be diminished— till these things find their level, without violence, In other Countries, nnd why not so iu Ireland ? In Ihe history of all nations, we learn, that the people have occasionally murmured sometimes, they have burst forth into a state of open insurrection ; but they had specific objects in view, such as a change in the form of Government, or the removal of some obnoxious impost, and when the cause ceased, thev relapsed into their customary habits of regular subordination to ihe laws formerly existing or recently established. But in Ireland, there seems to have been a perpetual tendency to change without effecting any mutation. The peasantry are not, perhaps, worse at Ibis day, than they were a century or two ago, hot they are certainly not better, for no improvement has been made either in their morals, or condition of existence. Their prospects are alike cheerless now, ns formerly— and no contrivance, under existing impressions, could remedy their situation— no physical arrangement, we mean, in regard lo hind, tithes, or taxes could produce lasting- benefit. Suppose, for example, that every farmer and peasant in Ireland, were permitted freely to occupy their respective portions of the soil. w iliiont the payment ( if rent, tithes, or taxes, they would, in a few wars, be exactly as they now stand. They would multiply and sub divide their iaiid until each mail had not so much space as would grow potatoes for his subsistence, and ihe pressure of want would occasion rapine and bloodshed. The principle of multiplying seems to lie unre- strained bv auv consideration bearing ou future consequences; and its unhappy results are now obvi" o » . It is not the Owners of the soil who have raised the rent of land — it is the competition aiming the farmers or those who wish to cultivate lbe soil for their own subsistence, that has occasioned high rents Every commodity in the market is worth what it will bring-; and if one man " ill offer more reni th- ni au- iiher for a farm, he will generally | ie preferred, with due consideration as to the pro- hahillii of fulfilling his engagement. The selection of leiianis by the landlords is one of the complaints of the Southern population. A preference arising from character is just as objectionable, in their eves', as l hut fi oin no advance of rent!.— The law of Captain Rock is, that no tenant shall be removed, from anv cause whatever— IK- may be a common robber, and he may either p: lv or not pay rent, ns it may seem good lo hint The Landlord ha* nothing to'snv iu the matter.

I HE PARTITION OF THE EARTH. [ FROM , S€ KILLER.] By Lord Francis Leveson Gower. WHEN Jove had encircled our planet with light, And had roll'd he proud orb on its way, And had given tlie moon to illume it by night, And the bright sun to rule it by day ; The reign of its surface he form'd to agree, With the wisdom tliat govern'd its plan'; He divided the earth, aud apportionM- the sea, And he gave the dominion to man.. The hunter he sped to the forest' and wood, And ihe husbandman seized on the plain ; The fisherman lauuchM his canoe on the flood, And the merchant embarked on. the main. The mighty partition was finished at last, When a " figure came listlessly on ; Bui fearful and wild were the looks that he cast When he found that the labour was done. The mien of disorder, the wreath which he wore, And the frenzy that fktsh'd from his eye, And the lyre of ivory and gold which he bore, Proclaimed that the Poet was nigh ; And he rush'd ail in tears, at the fatal decree, ."• To the foot of the Thunderer's throne, And cooiplain'd that no spot of the earth or the sea Had been given the Bard as his own. And the Thunderer smiled at his prayer & his mien, Though he mourned the request was too late ; And he ask'd in what regions the Poet had been, When his lot was decided by fate. Oh ! pardon my error, he humbly replied, Which sprung from a vision too bright; My soul at the moment was close at thy side, Entranced in these regions of light. It hung on thy visage, it bask'd iu thy smile, And it rode on thy glances of fire ; And forgive, if, bewilder'd and dazzled the while, It forgot every earthly desire. The earth, said the Godhead, is portioned away, And I cannot reverse the decree ; But the heavens are mine, and the regions of day, Aud their portal is open to thee. Lord Kelburne's ch. c.

It was a fine race, but it has disap- pointed the, expectation of the sporting world, as Tinker, who was the first favourite, stopped short of his distance in the false race, and Barefoot was betted against at great odds; he won, however, in fine style, amidst the acclamations of the populace, ' he first time Barefoot ever started was for the o- year old. stakes at York Spring Meeting, 1822, ere he was beat by Mr. Powlett's Miss Fanny, ho lately fell amiss. Since then he has, up to e present time, started for six races, and always beat, his horses cleverly,— So great was the wish the sporting world to witness the running for the St. Leger, that horses were difficult to be pro- cured ; and for want of a sufficient number of good beds, many gentlemen were obliged to sleep at Don caster in their carriages — The result of the St. Leger has excited great interest, and there has been ucb discussion respecting the false starts made previous to that directed by the Judges, and which they have pronounced final. At the commence- ment of the last start Sherwood, rode by Scott, was the favourite,— Goodison rode the winner. Mr. Watts, the owner, gains a large sum of money by this important race. Mr. C. Day., of Northleach, has sold his colt Helenus, two years old, the winner of the stakes at scol, Cheltenham, and Abingdon, to Fulwar aven, Esq of Chilton House, for 1000 guineas. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. [ FROM BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE ] England has at length fully reverted to her old state of peace. War is at an end, and even the spirit ot wai . s laid ; that ancient fiery blast, which had scorched and heaved her for an entire genera- tion, is blown over; Ihe fluctuation that followed the pause of hostilities, and made it more uneasy than ever, has gone down; manufactures and agri- culture have put ou a face of activity, cheerfulness, and profit; Ihe restoration of cash payments has gone through its round, and entered into the healthful and quiet system of the national pro- sperity, which it is lo disturb no more. The reductions of Ibe national expenditure, painful and anxious operations at the best, have now com- pleted their course of difficulty, and they are henceforth to be felt only in lightening the public burthens. At Ibis hour England stands in a more vigorous and loftier position, with veins filled with a richer plenitude of health and spiiits, and her eye commanding a larger horizon, than in the most prosperous days of our forefathers. The scars of the war have passed away, not a wrinkle is left to tell where his helmet galled, and she lias now only to follow the career of her own generous powers of head and heart, aud be mistress of all Ihe prosperity thai Providence appoints for wis- dom, industry, and virtue. To say that this elevation is the direct result of any measures of our weak human sagacity, would - lie idle and presumptuous. The ancients, a people wise in their generation, sacrificed to Fortune; we have a purer belief, and it leads us to a still higher source; we acknowledge the bounty of Providence, and, in llie acknowledgment, feel, I bat far from degrading oui efforts or our cause, we are giving the noblest character aud panegyric within the reach of language. lu the midst of this harmonious and universal utterance uf national congratulation, we disdain to bi nd the ear to the petty queruloiisness of party. Its voice, loud and ominous during the night of tbe country, is less aud less audible as the day ascends, and is naturally extinguished in the thou sand sounds of public content and industry. Those obscrenat volucrei are only for darkness and tbe sick chamber ; but we have thrown off the sick ness and the superstition together, and may now turn to the cheering and sunny contemplations, habitual to the best times, and ihe manliest spirit of Englishmen. The King's speech al the opening of the Session embraced three principal objects. The question of continental policy, Ihe public burthens, and the state of Ireland. On these three points his policy was distinctly pledged. To preserve peace, to diminish taxation, and to propose some remedy for the disturbances of the Irish. The first step was directed to the taxation. Mr. Vansitlart had left the Treasury, aud the new Chancellor of the Ex. chequer had assumed his office witii a high cha racter for intelligence and exertion. His career was begun with peculiar triumph, for he was enabled to announce ihe abolition of two millions and a half of English faxes, to promise the total repeal of the salt duties within a brief period, to extinguish lotteries after Ihe present year, aud lo sweep away the whole of the assessed taxes of Ireland at once.

DIED.— At Melfort House, on the 14th August, re hi ha Id Campbell, Esq of Melfort At the funeral of ( he late proprietor of Melfort, there occurred one f those ancient and hereditary customs by which ( he friendships of Highland families, and the ties of ' i nd red, were used to be confirmed and perpe- uated. Although followed to the grave by two sons nd two brothers, the place of chief mourner was : eded to the nearest representative, then in Argyll- hire, of the family of Dunstaffuage. It was an nc'u nt compact, aud has been " a uniform practice the families of the Campbells of Melfort, Dun- staffnage, aud Duntroan, that, when the head of either family died, the chief mourners should he the • tiier two lairds, one of whom supported the head to the grave, while the other walked before the iorpse. The first progenitors of these families were three sons of the family of Argyll, v\ ho took this method of preserving the friendship and securing he support of their posterity to one another." Such the origin ascribed to this interesting remnant of uda! manners, by Colonel Stewart, of Garth, in his eeent valuable publication. A similar custom is noticed hy the ingenious author of 44 Reginald Dal- ton," as occurring in the sister kingdom. It is as- cribed to Ihe two English families of Dalton and Ward, whose founders were brothers in arms during ie wars of John of Gaunt, in Spain. It was," he marks, u by such ties as these that, in many in- stances, the noble benevolence of the old English gentry, among themselves, was sustained and nourish- d. It was the influence of such remembrances that iften tempered the asperities of political conflict, and softened and refined the character even of civil war itself. Thus, for example, the heads of these. very races had happened to embrace different sides iu t tie of Charles the First. They fought, against each other at Edgehill ; and yet when Sir Marmadnke Bolton was slain before Newark Castle, Col. Ward ked aud obtained permission to accompany the corpse to Lancashire, and, stem republican though was, rendered the last honour to the young cavalier," THE LANDED PROPRIETORS OF SCOTLAND. • The Nobles aud the higher Gentry of Scotland are, with very few exceptions, in these day Englishmen. There is not one of the higher no- bility of Scotland that spends, on an average, more than two nights in the year in the metropolis of Scotland. There is not one of them that has house there; when they come thither, they a trangers, and put up at a hotel, just as they would do in Amsterdam or Paris. Every Scotch gentle- man who can afford it, carries his family, not to Edinburgh, but to London. With few exceptions, the young men of fashion and fortune are all chiefly educated in England. England is every thing; Scotland is nothing but a place lo get rents from, and to shoot grouse in for a few weeks after the ising of Parliament,.. These people are all Eug lis!)— their speech is English, their prejudices are English; more than half of their blood is in most nstances English blood.— lilackwoodrs Magazin FIRE,,— An alarming fire broke out on Monday yht on the premises of Mr. Wilmot, grocer, Redcliffehill, Bristol, which burnt with great fury, and in a short time destroyed the whole of the premises, with the major part of the stock and all the furniture. The family had just retired to rest, when the alarm was given, and they had scarcely time to escape. Another Fire.— At one o'clock on Wednesday morning, a fire broke out at Mr. Shore's Mena gerie, Bristol, which originated in the negligence of a woman who had retired to bed and left candle burning inside of a basket; the candle com municated to the basket, and thence to other parts of the caravan, which was soon enveloped in flames No human life was lost, but one of the greatest curiosities in this country, a young leopard whelped England, was burnt to death, as also several valuable cockatoos, parrots, paintings, wearing- apparel, & c. Mrs. Shore was burnt in a dreadful manner before she could be extricated. WASPS.— A Hint.— In this prolific season of wasps, many and dangerous swellings of the throat have arisen from incautiously swallowing this in- sect. The following hint, concerning a new method of treating this accident, may be of use:— A woman resident near the garden of F. Adams, Esq. in the High Stieet, Cheltenham, was stung in the throat, in consequence of swallowing a wa^ p. Mr. Hing ston was applied to, who recommended her t chew and swallow with the saliva some prepared chalk, which immediately removed both the pain and swelling. CAUTION.— An inquest was lately held on the body of VV. Davis, six years old, whose death was occasioned by ealing a poisonous vegetable, called petty spurge, which he picked by the side of hedge, while at play with another boy. Deceased soon after became ill; convulsions ensued, and although medical aid was procured, he expired two days after.— Nottingham Journal. Melancholy Accident.— The grounds of Mr. Ratter, gardener, at Fratton, for some time past have been beset by thieves, who nightly robbed him to a very great extent. On Saturday night, one of his sons, who was watching, hearing a per- son come across the garden, fired at him ; he instantly fell, and proved to be his own brother! He lingered in much pain till Tuesday, and then expired. A Coroner's Inquest has sat on the body, and a verdict of Manstaw/ hter returned against the brother, who is committed to take his trial at Winchester Assizes. We wot not whether there be any yet- unfulfilled prophetical malediction against the Castle of our I gnde town of Edwinesburg," but certain it is j that the fosse or trench at the entrance to the | Castle is at this moment completely occupied by very numerous garrison of mice ! In the absence of j I every thing like bread, or any apparent nutriment whatever, it is not easy to conceive how these petty I marauders contrive to fend aud fare, and yet forsooth hundreds of them are to be seen scampering about j at the bottom of the trench, as plump and sleek as | any girnel- fed mouse. Some days ago a party of I skirmishers from the , Castle made a desperate lly* upon these poor little independents, and although they have published no official bulletin of their attack, there is no doubt that, on the one side at least, a great number wcMd be killed and wounded. A paragraph, which may not yet have sounded inside the Castle barbacan, lately appeared in most of the public prints, stating the intention of a Mr. — to establish a large spinning manufactory, the machinery of which is to be managed wholly by operative mice. In the event of such an institution being formed, mice will then of course become a lucrative commodity, aud were our veterans on the grey rock to profit from this hint, we have a predictive notion that some day, even in our own generation, the public Journals will be legally authorised to give publicity to the following precominated paragraph.— 44 We under- stand that Mr. , of the'great mouse manu- factory at , has lately contracted with the Governor of Edinburgh Castle for a legion of thorough- bred and well disciplined mice !"• - Mr Edinh urgli Observer. GRAPE STEALING EXTRAORDINARY.- Philip Bowles, butcher, of Ragland, has a very large vine in front of his house full of fruit, which for several weeks past he has observed to diminish very perceptibly in quantity. Determined to detect the thieves and to bring them to justice, he sat up all night with two friends on Saturday last, but nobody came to disturb them. About five o'clock, however, on Sunday morning fhey heard a rustling noise in the vine, aud going gently out of the house, to their great astonishment, they saw eleven rats descend from the roof of the. house into the vine, and gorge themselves with the fruit. IPSWICH, SEPT. 15.— Last week, on emptying a pit on the premises of Mr. Downing, at Mellis, it pike was found near the bottom, which weighed upwards of 71b. ; it has been remarked, that whenever any young ducks, on making for the water, entered this pit, they soo : disappeared, and it is pretty evident that they became his prey, as well as every living thing in the pit. When taken, it had a large water rat stuck in his throat. A Hertfoidshire farmer, named John Harring- ton, going towards Smith field, on Friday, met an amazingly civil man, habited as a countryman, who offered to accompany him wherever he was going. Al length Harrington, and his friend dropped into a public- house, near Ha; tOn- gardeu, where another friend or two came iu accidentally cards were produced ; and the unsuspecting farmer was duped out of £ 20. * On Saturday last Mr. Hughes, of Wrangle, Lincolnshire, met his death in a most melancholy way. On endeavouring to pass a. gateway, before a waggon, which came up sooner than he expected, he was so dreadfully crushed, between it and the ate. post, that he expired after lingering three hours iu the greatest agony. DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.— About ten weeks ago, several mad dogs infested the town of Bolfon- le Moors and its vicinity, which did consi- derable injury by biting several persons, and like- wise horses, cows, & c. A girl, about 11 years of residing iu Union- buildings, Bradshaw- gate, was one of the individuals that had the misfortune to be severely bitten by one of those rabid animals. At that time the wounds were extirpated, and the actual cautery applied: notwithstanding which treatment, on Saturday last symptoms of hydro- phobia appeared, and she expired in severe convul- sions on Monday, being about ten weeks since the infliction of Ihe injury; So great was the pres. sure of people to ascertain the particulars of tbe case, that constables were obliged to be stationed at the door to keep off the crowd. The feelings of the poor parents may be more readily imagined than described, while those of the populace have been manifested during the week in an indiscri- minate slaughter of every dog found at large in the town and neighbourhoods— Liverpool Mercury money that should revert to the industrious trades- man, to feed and clothe his family, and to lighten his labour.— The same thing is done in regard to the cloth manufactories. He provides the weaver with the yarn, who, when he has finished his web, takes it to the agent of the Pacha, who pays him at the rate of so much a day for his labour, generally half a piastre, which is three- pence of our money : the cloth is then put into a general store, and sold out for the benefit of the Pacha ; it is all regularly stamped, and no person can or dare sell it but his agents."— But it must be observed, that as all happiness is relative, so is all misery, and the land of Egyp'- enjoys more advantages under its present master than it has experienced for many years under any of his predecessors. The canals are deepened, yielding facilities for commerce, and an abundant supply of water for man and beast, and all the important purposes of agriculture. The roving Bedoueens are compelled to pay tribute, to live in their tents, and to pasture their flocks quietly along the edge of the desert, without pilfer- ing from, or molesting their peaceful neighbours in the villages.— He has established manufactures of sugar, gunpowder, salt petre, indigo, cotton, & c., which are under the direction of properly qualified Europeans: of these he is almost exclusively the sole proprietor, and no person is permitted lo found any rival establishment. Having met with considerable difficulty in procuring properly quali- fied persons lo superintend his manufactories, he has sent a number of his own subjects to Europe to study, at Genoa Leg horn, arid Milan, the differ- ent branches that he wishes to cultivate : some of these have visited England ; after a certain period of years, they are to return to Egypt, superintend Ihe operations of the Pacha, and teach their coun- trymen what they have learned themselves. Some of them are specially devoted to the study of mineralogy, as an examination of the mineral kingdom, tbe finding of gold and emerald mines, is an object which the ruler of Egypt has much at heart ; all his views centre in himself, and in the accumulation of wealth. But the education of the youth isa plan that will most likely extend itself, and in the end benefit the country; and science and civilization may yet revisit their ancient seat." number that are annually exported to France and , arious other parts of the continent. The following suggestions, however, may not be unworthy the at- tention of gentlemen who are about erecting new steam engines in this country, upon any of the steam boiler construction, whether upon the high or low pressure. 44 To have two safety valves adapted to the boiler; one of these valves being so placed as not lo be altered by the workman who has the direc- tion of the steam- engine. The other valve to be un- der his controui, since he may have occasion to diminish the pressure, whereas he would attempt iu vain to increase it, because the valve which he could not alter would suffer the vapour to escape. 44 It is proposed to prove the strength of all the boilers by means of the hydraulic press, by causing them to withstand a pressure four or five times great- er than they would be required for the usual work- ing of the machine, as well as that this pressure should be limited to four atmospheres. And also that the proof pressure should as many times exceed that of the usual working pressure of the machine, as the latter does that of the atmosphere. 44 Every manufacturer of steam- engines should he compelled to declare his method of proof, and every circumstance which would tend to guarantee the solidity and safety of the machine, especially of the boiler and its appurtenances. The manufacturer ought also to acquaint those in authority as w as the public, with the pressure under which these machines ought to work. 1 The boilers of those steam- engines which are near any house, to be surrounded with a wall, pro- vided the engines are sufficiently powerful in case of accident to destroy the partition wall between the house and the establishment which contains the steam engine." M. Dupin also recommends, that the name of the manufacturer of every engine, where an accident occurs, shall be published ; by way of making them more vigilant in the superintendence of every part of their manufacture. A terrible eruption of a volcano in Iceland took place on the 26th July, accompanied by an earth- quake— ships 20 leagues at sea were covered with volcanic ashes. TRAVELS. The recent travels of an English Gentleman along the Mediterranean give the following account of a visit paid by Lord Bclmore to the Pacha of Cairo. He began the conversation by welcoming us to Cairo, and prayed that God might preserve us and grant us prosperity. He then enquired of the noble traveller how long he had been from England, and what was the object of his journey to Egypt ? to all of which lie received satisfactory answers. His Highness next adverted to the prospect before him, Nile, the grain- covered fields, and the pyramids > f Gheesa, the bright sun, the cloudless sky, and remarked with a certain triumphant humour on his lip, that England offered no such prospect to the eye of the spectator. It was admitted that England had no pyramids, palm- trees,, or dhonrra ; but that her scenery was of the richest and choicest descrip- tion. 4 O,' he said, 4 he meant as to the verdure, that England did not possess any thing equal to that.' 4 O yes, yes,' was instantly called out, and repeated by every Englishman in the room ; and much finer might have heen added with equal truth. 4 How can that he,' he shortly rejoined, 1 seeing you are steep d in fog and rain for three quarters of the year?" This, he was given to understand was favourable for the production of verdure, and that our climate was not quite so foggy and wet as he had imagined. Well,' pursued his Highness, 4 admitting that you may have some greensward in England, it can only last for a few months in the year for during all tin rest of it, you are covered with snow,' scarcely find ing a word to express it, 4 which necessarily destroys all verdure.' Then, without waiting for a reply, he gave a voluntary shiver, wrapped himself up in his heniss, and added, with a hearty laugh, that he thought the climate of Egypt better than that of England still : thus, to the no small entertainment of his audience, making a tolerable retreat." 44 His Highness next turned the conversation to Mr. Leslie's elegant experimentsof freezing- water in the vacuum of au air- pump, which he had nevei seen, bjvt which he admired prodigiously in d< scr. iption, aud seemed to anticipate, with great satis- faction, a glass of lemonade and iced water for him- If and friends, as the happiest result of the dis- o'ery ; a luxury which I dare say he has already enjoyed, as the necessary apparatus had been ordered for him from London a considerable time before, e next talked of his Lordship's intended voyage up le Nile; for which he politely offered to render every possible facility; cautioning hiin at the same time to keep a sharp look out among the Arabs, who, he believed, would not take any thing from him or any of the party, by violence, but would certainly steal if they found an opportunity of doing it without th isk of detection. He then related a number of uiecdotes of the petty larcenies of that most thievish ; some of which were by no means without con- trivance or dexterity. But the one which seemed to amuse both himself and his friends the; most, was that of a traveller, who, when eating his dinner, laid down his spoon to reach for a piece Of bread, and by the time that he brought back his hand, the spoon was away ; the knife and fork soon shared the same fate, and the unfortunate traveller was at last, reduced to the sad necessity of tearing his meat, and lifting it with his fingers and thumb, like the Arabs themselves. Many people were near, but no one saw the theft committed; and all search for the recovery of the property was- in vain." Ali Pacha is bold and^ vigoroos, and has con trived to reduce the conn try to such a complete submission to his authority, that, as the narrator observes, 44 a traveller may now visit every corner of Egypt unmolested, and go with money in his hand, from one corner to another; no person will take it by violence, and murder is almost un- known."— 4< He is the sole merchant in the country ; all the trade of it is iu his hands. He furnishes the shoemaker with leather, who cuts it and makes it into shoes, and when they are made carries them to the agent of the Pacha, who pays him so much a day for his labour : the shoes are then deposited in a general store, out of which they are sold to the Public, and the Pacha pockets the Scientific antr i ® li0ccllanani£ i* PERKINS'S STEAM ENGINE. [ FROM THE LONDON MAGAZINE.] We have already communicated all that was known concerning the steam engine of Mr. Perkins, and we are happy that we now have it in our power to give more precise information on the subject. Our readers are aware that water may be raised to any temperature, provided it he prevented from passing- off in vapour ; that in fact, by keeping it subjected to a certain pressure, it may be made red hot, on which depends the important discovery of Mr. Perkins. The generator of his engine, that supplies the place of the boiler, is a cylinder of gun- metal, which is more tenacious and less liable to oxidation than any other. It is three inches thick, contains eight gallons of water, and is closed at both ends, With the exception of five openings for tubes. It is placed vertically in a cylindrical furnace, in which, by the aid of bellows, it is kept at a temperature of from 400 to 450, the water being brought up to the ime heat. The valves in the tubes that conve the steain are loaded, one with 35, the other witL 37 atmospheres, so that none of the fluid can escape till the heat creates a greater force. By means of a compressing pump, the handle of which is wroug- ht by the engine, water is forced into the generator, the valve loaded with 35 atmospheres is opened, aud a portion of the hot and compressed fluid FLASHES out in the form of steam of high elasticity, and of a temperature 420, and is conveyed to a horizontal cylinder containing the piston, " to which it communicates motion. Having performed its office, it is carried into a condenser, where it is converted into water, at a temperature of about 320, and under a pressure of five atmospheres, whence it is drawn into the forcing pump, again to be thrown into the generator.— The pump acts with a pressure of 35 atmospheres; consequently when the water is urged from it into the generator, it must expel a portion equal to itself in volume, which, as already mentioned, the moment it escapes, is converted into steam of high elasticity ; and as the pump is so contrived as to act witii a steady force, the water must escape in a continuous stream ; there is thus a constant supply to produce the moving power, the motion of course being occasioned by the difference in the elasticity of the steam on the opposite sides of the piston, that introduced from the generator acting with a force of 35 atmo- spheres, or about 5001b. on the square inch, that connected with the condenser acting with a pressure of five atmospheres, or about 70lb.— the difference 430 being the power gained. When there is a surplus of water in the. generator, occasioned by working the pump too violently, or bv the heat becoming too high, part of it escapes through the valve loaded with 37 atmospheres, and is conveyed into the condenser. From the high elasticity of the steam, it has been supposed that this engine is very liable to be burst: this is however a mistake for as the steam is g- enerated only in sufficient quan tity to produce each succeeding stroke of the piston there is no collection of it, as in the common high pressure engines, exposiug a large surface to its expansive force, so that the ordinary source of danger is avoided. But in order to remove all apprehensions, the pipe coming from the generator, arid in which the steam is formed, is made so strong-^ as to sustain an internal pressure oi four thousand pounds, which is eight times more powerful than the force with which the engine works. This enor- mous superabundance of strength is still farther secured, by means of a safety pipe proceeding from the generator, and provided with a copper bulb, made so as to burst al a pressure of 10001b. on the square inch ; and owing to the nature of this metal, it merely tears like a piece of paper, so that when it does burst, as Mr. Perkins has made it frequently do, it Occasions no injury whatever, either to spec- tators or to the apparatus. This safety- tube is also made to communicate with an indicator, having a dial- plate and index, by which the force of the steam is ascertained. The engine we have now described is at present at work in Mr. Perkins's manufactory. It is cal- culated as equal to ten- horse power. The cylinder is only two inches in diameter, and 18 long, with a stroke of 12 inches, and when in full power it con- sumes only TWO bushels of coal in a day. The space occupied by it is only six feet b\ tight; but Mr. Perkins considers that, with the exception of the piston and cylinder, the apparatus is sufficient for a 30- horse power engine. Its operations have been witnessed and minutely examined by philo- sophers and engineers ; and the most unreasonable sceptics have been compelled to acknowledge the justness of its principles, as well as the energy of its operations. Mr. Perkins has not, however, been content with this. He has discovered a mode of conveying the benefit of his original principle to steam engines of the old construction, which, when we consider the enormous capital already invested in steam engines, and the skill and elegance with which they perform their functions, must be consi- dered equal in value to his original discovery. For this the old engines ivilh their boilers are retained unaltered ; the furnaces alone are removed. A generator is constructed consisting of three horizontal tubes of gun- metal connected together, filled with water and supplied with fluid from a forcing- pump, as in his own engine. This is exposed to heat in the same manner ; so that by means of a loaded valve the hot fluid may be con- strained till forced out of it into the water'in the old boiler, and thus as much low pressure steam of four pounds on the square inch may be generated by one bushel of coals, as could be produced in the old engine by nine. Mr. Perkins has lately made another discovery, which promises to be of great practical importance. He now dispenses with the condenser, and works the engine against the atmosphere alone ; and by a method which he has not yet thoug- ht it prudent to disclose, he is enabled to arrest the heat a fter il has performed its mechanical functions, and actually pump it- back to the generator^ to unite with a fresh portion of water, and renew its useful labours. SAFETY OF STEAM ENGINES. M. Dupin, the distinguished member of the Academy of Sciences at Paris, has recently drawn up a report, in the name of a committee of which he was a member, on the comparative safety of highs pressure and low- pressure engines, with regard to the greater security of the public Some of the re- commendations contained in this report are less necessary to be enforced in this country than in France, on account of the superior attention generally paid to the manufacture of steam engines in Great Britain :, the strongest proof of which is, the vast NEW LONDON BRIDGE.— A meeting of the City Committee for the building of the New London Bridge, took place ou Friday at Fish- mongerVhall, when, after taking a survey from the top of it, and obtaining every possible infor- mation from Mr. Rennie and Mr. W. Montague, the City Surveyor, the Committee came to an almost unanimous resolution that the old London Bridge should stand, until the new one is built, and to place the new one as near as may be thought advisable to the westward, within the distance prescribed by the Act of Parliament, which is 180 feet. The Committee were handsomely entertained by the Company with refreshments. A canal, about which upwards of 150 men are now employed, has been commenced from the river Thames to Pimlico, terminating with a basin at the wooden bridge, Little Chelsea, for tbe ceptiou of barges, craft, & c. The old bridge is to be removed, and a handsome iron one to be erected in its stead. The whole is under the direction of Mr. Johnson. The formation of canals in France is going on with great rapidity. The first contractors for them were Messrs. Grafulhe, Sartoris, and € o. who have appointed Professor Millington to superintend those that are to unite France with tbe Netherlands, We understand the original shares in this concern are already at a great premium, although the works are not nearly completed. THE SIIEERNESS DOCK.— The new works at Sheerness, which were opened with so much eclat on Friday week, were designed and executed by the late John Rennie, Esq. and on account of the extraordinary difficulties of the situation, the works being constructed entirely upon a quicksand, near 40 feet deep, reflect the greatest credit upon that Engineer's skill and judgment. In conse- quence of the bad foundation, the walls forming the river's front are composed of hollow masse standing upon inverted arches, and numerous piles from 25 to 30 feet long: these, by having an ex tended base, are infinitely stronger. The works already complete consist of a basin 520 feet long and 300 feet wide, having a depth of 27 feet water, and capable of containing six 20- gun ships, con- stantly afloat, and fully equipped. The entrance to the basin is closed by a Caissoon, with proper sluices for regulating the water within, and is easily removed at pleasure. Adjacent to the basin are three dry docks for first- rates, 225 feet long, 90 feet wide, and 31 feet deep, having at their en trances immense gates 57 feet wide. The gates are constructed in an ingenious and novel manner, being chiefly of cast iron, and weighing 160 tons each pair. The whole of these docks communicate by tunnels with steam engines of 50- horse power, which pump the water from one of the dry docks in \\ hours. Besides the above there is a mast pond, 200 feet long, and 150 feet wide, with ex tensive ranges of mast locks, tunnel, & c. The works now in hand consist of a smaller basin, 250 feet by 200 feet; two frigate docks; a boat- basin 100 feet by 70 feet ; an additional line of river- wall, 1000 feet long, with a depth of 27 feet at low water of spring tides. When complete, the Dock yard will contain about 60 acres, with a river- wall 3000 feet long. CIRCULATION OF BLOOD THROUGH THE LUNGS.— In the Annals of Philosophy for the. pre- sent month is an interesting physiolog- ical inquiry on this subject, by Dr. Williams, of Liverpool. — From a series of experiments, Dr. Williams draws the following conclusions-.—. 44 1st. That the blood is obstructed on its passage through the lungs, on suspension of respiration, while its circu- lation through the other parts of the body continues — 2d. That the obstruction of theblood in the lungs, on suspension of respiration, is not the effect or a mechanical cause.— 3d. That the obstruction of the blood in the lungs, on suspension of respiration, arises from a deprivation of pure atmospherical air. -— 4th. That the blood which is found, post mortem, in the left auricle and ventricle, is the remnant after the last systole, and the subsequent draining of the pulmonary veins.— 5th. That the obstruction of the blood in the lungs, on suspension of respir ation, is one of the principal causes of the vacuity after death of the system circulating arterial blood. — 6. That the immediate cause of the cessation of the action of the heart is a privation of its natural stimulus, arising from the obstruction of the blood in the lung's. Dr. Williams, in applying his doc- trine to the explanation of the causes of pulmonary complaints, says, 44 Haemoptysis, in my opinion, is generally the effect of an accumulation of blood in the pulmonary artery, arising from a deficiency of pure atmospherical air in the lungs to decarbonate the blood immediately on its being conveyed to that viscus. The deficiency may arise from an interruption of the action of the. respiratory muscles, as, from the immoderate use of vocal organs, or from inspiring rarified and impure air, or from the over distension of the stomach limiting the action of the diaphragm. Public speakers, singers, and performers on wind instruments, are too well known to be the frequent victims of haemoptysis. The enthusiastic orator, stimulated by the interest of his subject, and proud of the approbation of his audience, endeavours, by every exertion, to make the greatest impression upon his hearers : by so doing he interrupts his respiration, and occasions a partial accumulation of blood in the. pulmonary artery. If this interruption is often repeated, the pulmonary artery must become more and more dilated, as well as debilitated, and at last haemopty- sis will succeed : or, from habitual irritation, tiie foundation of a more invidious disease will be laid — I mean the tubercular consumption. If the last conclusion be correct, we can account for the frequency of tubercular consumption in countries subject to sudden vicissitudes of the atmosphere. The consequence of sudden and frequent changes of temperature must be sudden; and frequent floods of blood, as it were rushing into the lungs, especially in those who have a delicate and a highly sensible constitution. The pulmonary arteries of open- chested persons easily accommodate those frequent torrents, as the blood, from the capacity of their lungs, is immediately exposed to tlie influ- ence of the atmosphere, and undergoes the neces- sary change to admit it to proceed onward without any delay. The pulmonary arteries of narrow- chested persons, on the contrary, soon feel the effect of a sudden increase in the circulating medium, for their lungs are unable to supply the increase of hlood immediately with pure air, so as to enable it to proceed onwards without delay, therefore temporary accumulation takes place in the pulmonary artery, which must irritate its extreme terminations." NATURAL PHENOMENON. In Scoresby'B Voyage to the Nothcrn Whale fishery, much in- formation is given respecting the refractions which are usual in high latitudes. One very singular instance deserves to be noticed.— 44 On my return to the ship, about eleven o'clock, the night was beautifully fine, and the air quite mild. The atmosphere, in consequence of the warmth, being in a highly refractive state, a great many curious appearances were presented by tbe land & ice- bergs. The most extraordinary effect of this state of the atmosphere, however, was the distinct inverted image of a ship in the clear sky, over the middle of the large bay or inlet before mentioned; the ship itself being entirely beyond the horizon. Appearances of this kind I have before noticed, but tbe peculiarities of this were,— the perfection of the image, and the great distance of the vessel that it represented. It was so extremely well defined, that when examined with a telescope by Dollond, I could distinguish every sail, the general rig of ihe ship," and its particular character; insomuch tbat 1 confidently pronounced it to be my father's ship, the Fame, which it afterwards proved to be; though, on comparing notes with my father, I found that our relative position at the time gave our distance from one another nearly thirty miles, being about seventeen miles beyond Ihe horizon, and some leagues beyond the limits of direct vision. 1 was so struck with Ihe pecu- liarity of the circumstance, that I mentioned it to the officer of the watch, stating my full conviction that the Fame was then cruizing in the inlet." NUMBER OF THE SNOWS SPECIES OF ORGANIZED BEINGS.— From the collections in tbe Paris Museums M. Humboldt estimates ( Ann. de Chimmie, xvi.) the known species of plants at 56,000, and those of animals at 51,000 ; among which, 44,000 insects, 4,000 birds, 700 reptiles, and 500 mammalia. In Europe live about 400 species of birds, 80 mammalia, and 30 reptiles ; and on Ihe opposite southern zone on the Cape, we find likewise almost five times more birds than mammalia. Towards the equator, the proportion of birds, and particularly of reptiles, increases considerably. However, according to Cuvier's enumeration of fSssil animals, it appears that in ancient periods the globe was inhabited much more by mammalia than by birds. GRAVEL.— A philanthropist begs to communi- cate to the world the following simple remedy for the gravel:— Dissolve Ihree drams of prepared natron ( which may be purchased for 3d.) in a quart of cold soft water, and take half this quan- tity in tbe course of the day. Continue this medi- cine for a few days, and that painful complaint will be dislodged. It may be taken at any hour, bul is best after a meal. The greatest martyrs to this disorder have been perfectly relieved by this simple remedy. Washington was Ihe most punctual man in his observances of appointments ever known to the writer. He delivered his communications to Con- gress, at the opening of each Session, in person. He al ways appointed the hour of twelve at noon for this purpose; and he never failed to enter the Hall of Congress while the State House clock was striking that hour. His invitations lo dinner were always given for four o'clock, P. M. He allowed five minutes for the variation of time- pieces; and he waited no longer for any one. Certain lagging Members of the Congress sometimes came iu when dinner was nearly half over. The writer has heard the President say to them, with a smile, " Gentle- men, we are too punctual for yon ; 1 have a cook, who never asks whether the company has come, but whether the hour has come." King Charles II. asked Stillingfleet how it came about that he always read his sermons before him, when he preached extempore elsewhere; He told the King that the awe he fell of so noble an audience made him afraid to trust himself, unless he put his discourse into writing. " But pray," says Stillingfleet, " may 1 be permitted to ask a similar question?— Why does your Majesty read your speeches, who can feel no awe from tbe presence of superiors?" " Why, truly," replied Ihe King, " the question is a fair one, and so shall lie my answer. By reading my speech 1 keep my eye upon the paper; for, I have asked supplies from the commons so heavily, and they have granted them so often, that we are ashamed to look each other in the facte" HATTON. GARDEN OFFICE. On Saturday, W. Congrave, a working goldsmith and jeweller, was charged with pawning a gold ring, a brooch, and seal, given to him to repair.— Some gentleman of the trade staled that the prisoner was the best workman in London, perhaps in Ihe world, and might be an opulent man had he bul attended to his business, and could easily earn ten pounds a week and never want work ; instead of which he was idle and would not work, but spent his time smoking and drinking in public- houses with per- sons of the lowest description, and whenever any work was entrusted lo him he was sure of pawning it. As one instance of his surprising abilities, some years ago he made a coach with four wheels of gold and ivory, not bigger than a pea, with a complete set of gold harness for two fleas, which drew the carriage; each flea had a chain of gold round its neck, consisting of one hundred and sixty links fastened by a small gold padlock, and which they drew along on a table, and being examined by a microscope, appeared perfect in all parts; when be unfastened them from the coach, lie let them feed on his wrist, and then put them into a small box; the coach he kept in a separate box, each not bigger than a nut. This extraor- dinary curiosity was shewn to their late Majesties and the principal Nobility in the kingdom, as many living witnesses could attest. A person present expressed his doubt that two fleas could be able to draw a coach and harness of tbat size anil weight. The gentleman replied, that a flea was the strongest living thing in nature; it could carry a thousand times its own weight, and leap 2000 times its own length ; and had but an elephant the strength and activity of a flea in proportion to its bulk, it could carry the monument on its back, or leap from Hyde- park to Greenwich. This extraordinary curiosity the prisoner lost when in a state of intoxication at a public house in Clerken- well- greee— The prisoner not being able to pro- duce the property, was locked up until the evening, when his daughter, a respectable genteel young girl, produced the property.— He was severely ad- monished and discharged. Unparalleled Depravity.— George Carter, a boy aged 13, was apprehended in York on Wed- nesday, charged with having stolen a pair of shoes from a stall. This infamous young rascal has been in confinement eight times since the commence- ment of the present year, and has been imprisoned iu the House of Correction twenty- eight times. GAMBLING.— The propensity to Ibis vice seems of late to have amazingly increased, at least, so far as can be inferred from the demand for dice as exhibited by the returns of the Revenue of Stamps for these last three years ; from which it appears that in 1820 the duty paid on dice amounted to £ 604 ; in the following year it had increased to £ 830; and last year it actually reached to £ l,( ifi3, being more than double the amount of the preced- ing year. The duty on cards during the same period has remained nearly stationary.
