In this de- plOrable State I applied to, amf had the Advice of several Medical Gentlemen, all of whom exerted their professional Skill to no purpose Finding « ny Complaint still increase, and'tlie Efforts of the Fa- culty ineffectual, I became low spirited, and a truly melancholy Spectacle ; no Sleipp at Night ; no \ it£ l in the Day : what Medicine to try, or hovv t<> obtain Ease, I knew not my Friends were alarmed, and began to make Inquiry among their Acquaint-, ance for a Remedy. At length 1 heard of > 011 fur- famed PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS, and had them most strongly recommended tome by several respectable Persons who had experienced their wonderful Effects. A Bottle was procured from Owner Veates, of the Salt Warehouse, Ironhridge, by taking which I found immediate Relief; an amazing Alteration took place ; the violent Itching ceased— the Humour disappeared ; I received the Congratulations of my Friends, and before the second Bottle was finished, 1 was free from either Evil or Cancer, and as well as ever I was in iny Life. My Case being well known to many Persons in this Neighbourhood, who have the Comfort of their fellow Creatures at Heart, they have requested me to send this to you, in order to its being- made Public for the Benefit of those who are unfortunately labouring under similar Com- plaints. l ain, dear Sir, Your most obliged Servant, SARAH PENDREE.

TO DR. LAMERT. SJP, — It- is with infinite pleasure and gratitude, that t have to acquaint you with the success of your truly• invaluable Cordial Balm of Zura, in a case of extreme a- nd confirmed debility. I had but little faith 1 ' must candidly confess in any thing, having tried for the space of three years almost every remedy that 1 have seen advertised, and without the least effect, but nothing1 can exceed the delight, nay rapture that overwhelmed me, on experiencing such an instantaneous effect, as followed the very first dose of your ihvaluatile medicine; and long before I had finished two of the lis bottles, I felt so com pletely renovated, as to. excite the wonder and a> to nishmenf of- all niy friends. I absolutely appeared to them as one who rose from the grave by miracu- lous iuterpiisiiiou. But to attempt to paint the state of mv fee Digs, would he 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 inv rescued life. Nfve'i-,. my dear Sir, can .1 hope to make any returns yon for the- health ( through the blessing of Pro- deuce) cbnferied upon me, but if a living reporter of your estimable nanie, and transcendant skill in tlie discovery and application . of tiie Cordial Balm of Zura to cases of such distressing- aud confirmed debility as mine$' can be of any service, you are a? liberty to snake use of. my name and address, for the benefit of others, and, " though last not least," accept, respected Sir* the humble tribute of a heart deeply imb- ied with gratitude, ami abounding- with . every •<>, oii. d--' wish for von here and hereafter. * " * J.

Important tnie'tlif/ fnce from Spain, " tlx* great object, of t( ie invasion of Spain bv France is, at length', accomplished. The Spanish Menard) audr. liis , family q.!' e free... They have repaired to ibe head- quarters of the I) uke d'An- g uleuie,,, and, his, Royal Rigtkness has telegraphed the fact of their actual arrival on the 1st inst. at elevep o'. eloc_ H it » t| je. foretiooi).. Of/ jpurse we can kiynv. unfiling yet of any of the cifeiVui'staiices that immediately preceded tliis'event, and. our readers, as weft' ijs ourselv'eS; ' will look iinpatiehl'ly for the official account, of them. Meanwhile, however, there is no laclT'of information upon the subject, which, thougjj not intitled to implicit belief, is, we doubt'iidl, in the main, tolerably authentic. It appears that on the S7lh General Alava was despatched to the head- quarters of the Duke, with propositions' which were not only indignantly re- jected, hut the bearer of them forbidden to present himself again, uuless he brought the pure and nncilndifionnl surrender of Cadiz. These pro- positions, if correctly stated, were the same as were said to have been made two or three weeks ago, immediately n& cr tbe taking of the Trocadero, viz.— that the Ring should be set at liberty, but that the City of Cadiz, tbe Isle of Leon, and all the strong places still iu the power of the Constitution- alists, should remain under the dominion of the Cortes lot- two mouths, during which time, " they should be permitted to traffic aud hold communi- cation with the rest of. Spain and all other coun- tries.'' These were certainly preposterous and foolish demands, for the very basis of them consisted iu tbe recognition of two supreme authorities in Spain— that of the King, aud that of the Cortes, during- the proposed period. Meanwhile, tbe feuds and dissections which convulsed, the city — tire terror and alarm that prevailed— the impossibility of organising any adequate means of defence - aud the magnitude of tbe mischief that , was accumulating beyond the walls— all ( ended to hasten the catastrophe. The Commandant General declared he could not rely upon his troops, and the municipality of San Fernando announced its intention of capitulating, in order to avoid the horrors of an assault. The Cortes held a secret sitting, and afterwards a public one, in which, as it is said, a Message to. the King was agreed upon, supplicating him to open nego- tiations with the French General " oil whatever, terms he judged proper." The King replied, he could not enter into any negotiation; a second meeting of the Cortes followed, and a second Message ; to which the same answer was returned. A third meeting was then held, at which only live members were present, and they, with the Minis- ters, bad an audience of his Majesty, upon they at last prevailed, and the Count de Curries was immediately dispatched with a letter to the Prince Generalissimo. Accord ing to another account, the Cortes, alarmed al the increasing agitation of the people, and the disposition of the troops, assembled to recognise the supreme authority of the King, and then dis- solved themselves. The question for recognising the King's authority, or, in other words, for let- ting him at liberty, was. carried by a majority of sixty to thirty. Immediately after, the white flag was flying in the roads and upon the raniparts of Cadiz. It is stated that, in the letter which Ferdinand addressed to the Duke d'Angouleme, he said, " he bad promised not to pursue any one on account of political opinions, but nothing more ; and that he should not engage in the affairs qf Government till after his return to Madrid." It appears hy the account published by the Madrid Regency, in an Extraordinary Gazette, of the Ist instant, that oil the 26th, Don Victor Saez, Chief Secretary of State, had sent into Cadiz a flag of truce, with " proposals from his Royal Highness the Duke d'Aogoulelne, who was instructed to declare at the same parley that if they were not accepted the garrison would be pursued with all the rigors of war; his Royal Highness being deter- mined in that event to retaliate on the beads of the Public Authorities auv outrage that should he committed against the King and Royal Family. A subsequent despatch from Don Saez, written by order of the Duke del Infantado, corroborates the fact of tbe; dissolution of the Cortes ou the 27th. The French pa|> ers of Thursday, and the Pilole of Friday, have arrived this morning, but they supply little additional information of importance. Private tellers from Pans strongly hint at Ihe dan- gerous state of the health of the Krtig of France. It is asserted that some curious discoveries have been lately made by a Gentleman connected with the, British Embassy, which are likely to lead to the adoption of different seals for the dispatches than those now in use. A galleon from Manilla, having a rich cargo, and 9,5110,000 francs on board, entered Coi unna, be- lieving it to be still in the possession of Ihe Consti- tutionalists The Royalist Authorities seized her Pari) Paper. The Portuguese Loan for 1,200,000 has been contracted for by Messrs. B. A. Goldsmid aud Co. at 87. Lisbon Papers to the 28th ult. received this morning, are filled with Ihe details of the ceremony of investing Ihe King of Portugal with the Order of the Garter, on the 23d, which took place at Ihe Royal Palace of Ajnda. The castle of Si. George, and the ships of war in the harbour, fired loyal salutes nt I lie termination of Ibe ceremony. His Majesty bad ordered a splendid repast to be pre- pared in honour of Ihe Ambassador, Sir Edward Thornton, Sir George Naylcr, and other persons charged by the British Monarch with this solemn investiture, in Ihe Palace das Necessidades, to which his Majesty's Ministers, the Diplomatic Body, and other persons of distinction were invited. A very serious plot has been discovered at the Havanuah, having for its object the massacre of the Governor and all Europeans not attached to the party of the conspirators, and Ihe pltiuder of the property. Many persons were arrested iu couse quence, composed of whites, negroes, and mulat- tos He who was to have . been made Governor escaped, as did also the intended Generalissimo of their forces, a Lieutenant- Colonel from the Spanish main. There were also seized a quantity of flags, cockades, and upwards of 5000 proclamations of the most seditious nature, together with a great quantity of arms, & c. The flags were the French tri colour, upon which appeared a rising sun, with diverging ray6. The cuckades were green and red. Report staled, that there were yet above 200 persons to be arrested; and that full 40,000 | » eople without the gales had sworn to the independence. WF. ST INDIES.— The Jamaica anil other Papers for some time past have intimated that the late proceedings in the British Parliament, relative to the emancipation of Ihe slaves, had excited great fears among the settlers, and a correspondent tendency to revolt among the negroes in our colonies; and we now regret to lay before our i- eadcrs 1 he following extract of a letter from the Agent lo Lloyd's, nt Falmouth, dated Oct. 9:— " Arrived the Marquis of Salisbury packet, from the Leeward Islands ; sailed from St. Thomas's the 2d ult. and brings advice that au insurrection broke out at Demerara on the 18th August, amongst tbe Negroes ; and, on the 21st, 400 of them were killed in an attack by the Regular Troops and Militia." , We learn to day that accounts have been received ( his morning, by the Leeward Island Mail, of a most formidable insurrection having broken out in the Islands of Berbice and Demerara, among the uegro slaves, who are reported in Ihe private letters to have obtained nearly entire possession of the Island. The negro population amounts to 40,000 men, and the whites to only 3000. The greatest consternation prevailed in all the olhe West India Islands, from an apprehension of the revolt spreading — St. James's Chronicle. Intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope received this week, announces that the settlers on the south of the colony were much alarmed, in consequence of a horde of savages, of ail unknow tribe, approaching and ravaging Ihe native settle, meuts in that direction— From the unusual ap pearance of the invaders, as described by Ibe natives, it is conjectured that they are partly composed of descendants of such of the crew who survived the wreck of Ihe Grosvenot- Em Indiaman and who arc known to have mixed among, and connected themselves with, some of the savage tribes on that patt of the African coast, The'Gazette of this day contains Ihe articles agreed upon between Sir William A't'ourl, our Ambassador to the Court of Spain, and Don San Miguel, Spanish Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, for Ihe adjustment of all complaints respecting Ihe capture and detention of British ves- sels and property by Spanish authorities. PUBLIC REVENUE.— A Statement of Ihe Net Produce of the Revenue ill the year and quarter ending on the 10th inst. respectively, has been published, exhibiting the increase and decrease, Under each head; and its dissemination through the country w ill, no doubt, occasion the highest satisfaction. The decrease on tbe aggregate amount of these branches of Revenue is only £ 158,259, notwithstanding the very large reduction of taxation, which, with reference to their extent, would have led us to expect a deficiency very far exceeding that amount. Publicans" Licences.— an Act of the, 3d Geo. Fourth, cap. 77, sect 17, it is enacted, that persons requiring a licence to retail ale, beer, or other exciseabie liquors, in any house that lias not been used for that purpose, must produce lo Ihe Justices, at their general annual meeting in Sep- tember, a certificate under the hands of Ihe clergy- man, or of tbe major pari of the churchwardens, overseers of Ibe poor, and of four reputable and substantial householders and inhabitants, or under the hands of eight respectable, and substantial householders and inhabitants of the parish or place, where the person applying for such licence shall have last inhabited for tbe space of six months; and also give notice to the Clerk of the Justices three months previous lo Ihe general annual meeting; and affix a notire on the door of llie church of the parish, oil three si vi ral Sundays within the month of May or June, describing the house meant lobe licensed, and signed hy llie party applying, with his place of abode and description The above clauses of this Act having been com- plied with, in case the inhabitants residing on llie spot where it is intended to open the new public house, do not shew sufficient cause lo the Magis- trates why such licence should nol be granted, it is considered imperative on Ihe Magistrates lo issue the licence.-— This Act was brought iu by M Rennet, with a view to accommodate Ihe inha- bitants of parishes, and prevent tbe issue of with • holding licences at the caprice of the Magistrates. The attention of Ihe agricultural world has been much excited by a comparative statement which has lately been published of the expenses and profits of a Lothian farm during the war, aud in the present year, by which it appears, that on a farm of 240 Scotch, or 305 English ai res, Ihe capital required during the war was £ 3140, with profit of £ 290 per annum ; and Ihe capital iu 1823 would be £ 2317, leaving a profit of Only £ 88 per annum for the occupier. The statement llitded lo has been distributed gratis amongst Members of Parliament, and Societies instituted for the cpcouragemcut of agriculture, as well as a piece of plate awarded to Ihe author, ( Mr. Scott), as a reward for the benefit his labours have been supposed to confer on the agricultural interest.

This took place on the 3d instant, two days aiter the arrival of the King1 and Royal Family at tbe Head- quarters of the Duke d'Angouleme. General Campana is appointed Governor. They contain also some not uninteresting'details of what ceremonies were ob served upon the meeting' of Ferdinand and the Prince Generalissimo. His Royal Highness threw himself at the feet of the King, who instantly . raised ~ him up and embraced him. while the Queen presented her band for him to kiss. They could not but'feel some emotions of gratitude towards tbe representative of a Monarch whose arms had achieved their deliverance from a thraldom at once degrading and perilous. It is not mentioned when Ferdinand was to set out for RJadrid ; but of course he will suffer no unne- cessary delay to intervene between his restoration to liberty and his resumption of regal power in the capital of his kingdom. Meanwhile the Regency has been dissolved ; or rather, it may be said to have expired, ex necessitate, the moment Ferdinand tvas free. Among the first acts of the King, after his arrival at Port St. Mary, were the dismissals of several individuals from offices about bis Majesty" person. The French Ministers, considering the war at an end, ha. ve recommended, for Royal favour, the Generals, who have held the most active commands during its continuance. SHREWSBURY.

Of all kinds of Manchester, Glasgow, Yorkshire, Birmingham, rind Sheffield manufactures, tbe supply is mosl abundant; anil we believe theie are very few shops iu the three principal halls unoccupied. On the minutest enquiries from individuals iu different branches of trade, we are glad to report, Hi at llie demand for goods is extensive and steady. It is ad- mitted, however, that tbe profits of ihe manufacturer lire small, the prices being excessively low. Coup- ling Ibis admission with the universally acknowledg- ed fact of a brisk demand, gives us a just rea. on fur believing thai our trade rests 011 a firm basis, and promises permanency antl increase. This state of things is highly gratifying in a national view ; for while the approximation of prices in our articles of manufacture wiih those of agricultural produce, will materially relieve the farmer and rural labourer, as far as their individual consumption goes, Ihe me- chanic is supplied with abundance of employment, and kepi in 11 slate . of comparative comfort. It may also be presumed, that the extent of demand w ill iu n great measure compensate ihe manufacturer for llie lowness of his profit. FAIRS TO BE HOLDEN.

The week opened amidst the utmost bustle and activity ; arrivals from distant parts of the united kingdom were hourly taking- place, and the town speedily assumed an appearance of gaiety aud expectation the most exhilarating-. The only drawback upon the festive proceedings was occa- sioned by the lamented death of the Countess of Dartmouth, whose health had for some time been in a gradually declining state.. The melancholy tidings of- her decease became generally known in the course of Monday and tbe following' day,- aiid the utmost sympathy was universally manifested, in consequence of this afflictive visitation, the Festival was not merely deprived of the personal attendance and countenance of the Noble Earl her husband, but of the presence of her fattier, the Earl Talbot, President ot the Meeting, and ofthe Bishop of Oxford Who was to have preached the introductory Sermon. The attendance of several other Noble Personages connected with the family was also no doubt prevented by the melancholy event. Francis Lawley, Esq. the highly respected Member for Warwickshire, was nominated by the Right Hon. President to officiate in his stead, which office he fulfilled highly to the satisfaction of every indivi- dual present.

The fine old music of the opening anthem from Palestrina, was followed by the grand and im- pressive chant of tbe Venice Exult emus, which was given with the most striking effect, and the highest I degree of relief was produced by the changes j introduced into the Psalms of the day. Pureel's Te l) eurn succeeded, and if called upon to particu- larise, we could not but point out Vaughan's solo, 44 Vouchsafe, O Lord," as a master- piece of purity of style felicity of expression. In thechorusseSj " The Holy Church,"" " Thou art the King of Glory," and " O Lord, in thee have I trusted," richer streams of harmony were certainly never poured forth ; and the effect of the A mens," terminating the different prayers, was most im- pressively graud and solemn. - The Psalm intro- duced before the Sermon, with the advantage of such a choir, might fairly be classed in the very highest rank of psalmodic excellence. The service was most impressively and skilfully chanted by the Rev. Robert Clifton, of Worcester ; and the simple grandeur of our church service was perhaps never so forcibly exhibited. The Sermon, in the absence of the Lord Bishop of Oxford, was delivered by the Rev. L. Gardner, D. D. Rector of St. Philips', and was admirably adapted to the cause lie undertook to advocate. The text was John v. 7, 8, 9; and the discourse was such as to command universal attention and the most unqualified acquiescence. Part of the Funeral Anthem of Handel was finely executed, and terminated the service.— The ambuut received for admissions reached £ 304: 17s. <> d.* and the collections, including donations from Earl Craven, Lord Calthorpe, the Rev. Dr. Garduer, A. S. Lilliugston, and W. Rolfe, Esqrs. & c. & c amounted to £ 424, 18s. making a total of £ 729 15s. t) d. At the Concert in the evening, the.

Wednesday evening's Concert was still more numerously attended than that of tbe preceding night; and the receipts amounted to £ 1104. 13s. The Messiah was, as usual, performed on the Thursday, and the attendance on that day was considerably more numerous than of late years, and, indeed, exceded those of any of the other mornings.

Ite was ac- companied in the field by bis untie, T. VV. Coke, Esq. M P. for Norfolk, aud by Col. Dixon, his umpire; and Mr. Blount, umpire for Lord Ken- nedy. He was also attended by several game- keepers, with one dog only to heat for and pick up the birds. There were a great number of specta- tors. Lord Kennedy chose for the seene of bis exploits, Monreilh, in Scotland, a manor belonging to Sir William Maxwell, considered e.<$ ual to any lands in Scotland for rearing partridges. On the 26th nit. the first day of trial, his Lordship bogged 50, and on the 4th inst. 82 brace, being in all 132 brace of partridges in two days. Thus Mr., Coke has won the wager, beating Lord K. by 42 brace and a half in the two days.

Mr, Sadler' ® ascent in his balloon was postponed. Fir?.— A destructive fire broke out in the print* works of Messrs. Coates, of Strangesvays, Man- chester, in the forenoon of Tuesday lasti— It origi- nated in a new building, four stories high, used as drying rooms, and which had only been in work about two mouths. From a large stove attached to this budding there are ttutrs, which con net beat through all the rooms, aud the piece goods, aftei? being printed in a separate building, are conveyed by rollers iuto the drying rooms, it is supposed that either a spark must by some means have fallen upon the dried goods, or that one of the pieces hu. ng up in the top story must after drying have flapped agaftist the stove chimney, which was nearly in » red- hot stale.; but nothing certain has yet transpired concerning, its origin. The Whole building, and the large stock of goods contained in it, were destroyed in half an hour, so rapid was the fire; aud also a stack of timber - which was piled in tbe yard for building onrposes. r— Messrs. Coates make their own gas, aud the works for this purpose join close up to this building whicii was on fire. Considerable anxiety was therefore raised on this account, the gasometer having at the perilous tiaie siune yards' dept h of gas in- it. Every exertion was made to prevent tbe burning materials from lodging upon the works; the engines also played vigorously upon tb « ' in ; aud one man, al tbe j. hazard of his. life, went into the, building,, and turned the cock of the main pipe of the gasometer, thus, throwing the gas into, a pipe wh\ ch. conveyed t into the adjoining premises. The pipe was ( hen, al a considerable distance, broken off and the gas escaped innoxious into the air. None of the other extensive premises took fire, owing to the happy direction of the wind;. The flames were so rapid, that the work- people had merely tone to escape frOni their effects, ami could not save nuy of their clothes thrown off whilst working. Fortunately, however, no personal injury was sustained. RHEUMATISM— A New York Paper says— 44 We are requested to state, that the following is an effectual recipe for the cure of rheumatism :— Take cucumbers, when full grown, and put them into a pot with a little salt; then put the pot over slow, fire, where it should remain . for about an hour j: then take the cucumbers aud press them, tbe juice of which must he put in bottles, corked up tight, and placed in the cellar, where they should remain for about a week ; then wet a flannel rag with the liquid, and apply il to tbe parts affected." CURE OF THE RINGWORM OF THF. SCALP — Mr. Houlton, iu the Monthly Magazine of the present mouth, recommends the following treat- ment for this disease:— The head should be frequently shaved, and kept covered with an oiled- silk cap, or instead of which a thin bladder has sometimes been used. Au ointment should be formed, by mixing together spermaceti cerate and finely pulverized supertartrate of potass, ni such proportions as to make it of a very fine consistence; of which a piece the size of a nutmeg, or larger, according to the extent of the surface affected, should be well rubbed on. the part vith. the palm of the hand, every night, for three or four minutes; the bead should be well washed with soap and water every third night, previous to the application ofthe ointment. Internal medicines are seldom re- quisite in this advanced « ! age, except where the character of the. affect ion isjnegular, oi; there is a peculiarity in the constitution of the patient in which case some modification of treatment will necessarily be required : these variations will readily be made by any respectable practitioner. The plan, if diligently pursued for from three to siv weeks, will rarely disappoint the expectations of those who try it, even in inveterate cases." COUGHS— The following prescription for a con- ititutional or winter cough, was Obtained from Sir W. Knighton, Bart :— Takeot Almond Emulsion ounces ; Syrup of White Poppies, Oxymel of Squills, of each 2 drachms; Compound Powder of Gum Tragacanth, 1 drachm.— Two table spoonsful to be taken frequently.— Gazette of Health. HONESTY THE BEST POLICY— An Irishman who was wishing to come over, the other day, be- twixt Donagbadee and Portpatrick, applied for a passage to the Captain of a vessel, w ho mentioned the usual fare. It not being convenient for Pat to part with the money, be went away ; but as the vessel was to sail next morning, he found ways and means to get on hoard, aud conceal himself, iu the course of the night, aud was not discovered till they were nearly half way - across. The Captain immediately demanded the passage tuouey, tint Pat solemnly declared his inability to pay it, and offered to leave his coat with the Captain until he was able to earn as much as would do so. The garment not being worth the smallest coin with the King's bead upon it, was tossed overboard by order of the Captain; but Pat, recollecting himself, ex- claimed, 44 Oh, by Jasus, yo < have drowned my two sovereigns." A pole was got, and the rags pulled up, aud on searching the pockets, tin y were found to contain that sum in gold. On this dis- covery, the crew fixed a rope round Pat's waist, heaved him overboard, and gave him three sousing . dips to teach him a Jittle more of common honesty tor the future; and would have repeated it, had riot Pat paid his fare, by which time he found, by bitter experience, that u honesty is the best policy.'* The Umpire of the Seas.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, At a period when local improvement is forcing ftself- in every direction, aud when its claims upon our purses and our feelings are probably about to be still further urged, the observations of one who has no self- interest to promote in the discussion may not be offensive, though they should not, in the estimation of all your readers, be pertinent or agreeable. On Wednesday last, I hud occasion to • traverse the streets of Shrewsbury most frequented by tbe buyers and sellers of commodities brought to the Fair ; and, comparing the'scene with what it has of, late been my lot to witness on such occa- sions, 1 cannot hut congratulate my countrymen ou the increased business which was evidently trans- acted, and on the spirit with which all parties seemed to enter into the work of traffic then going forward. As I do not profess a knowledge of the state of the agricultural interest, I shall not adopt the usual practice of prophesying- its recovery'from depression, or predicting its still further degrada. tion, by commentaries and comparative statements which can have no good effect: one fact was clear to me, namely, that the quantity of articles for sale, and the number of persons engaged, was greater than has been observed for some years, i' not greater than was ever observed, in Shrewsbury, and may, at least, encourage a hope that the renovated state of employment throughout the kingdom has operated on the more numerous classes of our countrymen iu a manner that must, by increasing consumption and demand, benefit the husbandman iu the way most congenial to his ow wishes, and without creating a jealousy that too ' often attaches itself to measures of relief adopted by tbe higher authorities for the same object. To come, however, lo the motives of my present epistle, J take leave to ask how, if the improvement effected within these few years, by the removal of the Butter Cross, & c. had uot taken place, the business of Wednesday last would have been trans acted iu that quarter? Certainly not without much serious difficulty, nor without great danger: recol lecting to r, that an immense quantity of butter atn cheese was pitched at ' the New Market near th Welsh Bridge. As it was, the Chester coach, and other carriages, were much impeded, and several of them were delayed a long time in endeavouring to obtain'egress from the town in the direction of Raven Street hint Castle Gates, thus proving, case that must of all others come home most speed ily to the feelings of men of business, tbe necessity of making Our streets as commodious as may be, and of increasing oili* street- room in every possible case. By tbe way, it may be observed, that had there been a thoroughfare for carriages from Dog- pole, by the Infirmary, to. Raven Street, some danger and much inconvenience might have been avoided on Wednesday, aud 1 trust that this will be considered ( if it has not already been) among tiie alterations projected iu that vicinity. The pro. posed formation of a new line of mail- road througl Shrewsbury, and the probable expense thereby to fee entailed, lias created, as might have been ex pected, intense, interest in the town. All brick layers, carpenters, 8tc. are ( of course without an;, selfish motive) agreed in the propriety and neces. sity of the proposed scheme, and that on the most extended plan 1 aud I should probably have pro- ceeded in this letter'bysupporting'tbeir disinterested opinion, b ill not, just as I had written the few preceding sentences, had occasion to traverse some of our improved and newly paved streets, where my tender footing and tbe no less agreeably soft and moistened recollections which attended every step I took, awakened in my mind the remembrance of those happier days when, although I could, a' certain points, scarcely pass if a cart. was coining yet I generally contrived to get along without the aid of a pair of mud- gaiters formed round my ancles, and the no less refreshing powers of a shoe filled up with tine gravel and dirty water ! Having thus been brought back to feelings of a more sobe cast., I beg to suggest that, while every exertion ' made to increase the convenience of travellii along our streets, due attention may be paid to tli interests of those whose business and comfort in life depend, ' perhaps, on the eligibility of thei trading situation. The value of street- room and easy access must, on Wednesday last, have struck almost every inhabitant of tbe town, aud 1 think there can be no doubt that tbe plan, in whateve direction it may be, which, while it may afford more convenient route through Shrewsbury, shall • also be founded upon a regard to economy aud tlie utmost consideration of existing interests, will be supported by a great majority, not merely of those who may have a direct profit in its execution, but of those also who will have to bear the expense to be incurred. As the time is fast approaching when, according to the announcement ill your Journal, the sections made and plans proposed are to- be laid before the public, 1 trust my townsmen will not be asleep on their posts, but be ready, on the. one hand, to uphold the best interests of Shrewsbury anil its vicinity, by a zealous coneur- • rcnce in the design of improving our streets and the great road through the town, and on tbe other, to act, with caution, and not to let tile blandishments of a showy scheme induce them to forget the interests of the anxious and striving- tradesman, • whose every hope and endeavour may be sacrificed by anv hasty step, the result of which will be fearfully known by increasing burdens aud an eternal date of continuous but never- ending re- payment.

Ou Sunday week, about 12 o'clock at night, a fire was discovered at Frith Farm, iu the parish of Newnhatn, Kent, which totally, destroyed the whole urn's nop of corn in slacks, & c,-( estimated at upwards of 300 quarters), a large ban;, stables, and out- houses, together with waggons, carts, ploughs, and other articles < jn< l implements of husbandry.. The dwelling house, being of brick, aped the flames; and the horses, nine in number, re fortunately rescued from their perilous situa- ioii but a few minutes before the roof of the stable fell ill. ' File barn was filled with corn, the last ad'of the, harvest standing With the waggon on he baru floor. The waggoner left tlie stables . about ialf past ten o'clock, and ali was then right; and the tire . was discovered about twelve, the premises were burning in three places, from which no doubt is entertained of its being the diabolical ork of some wicked incendiary. The farm be- longs to, and is used by, Mr. II. 11. Coulter, of Doddiugton ; the property destroyed is estimated I about +' 2000, no part of which is insured. About ( it) years ago he barn and premises on the same site ere maliciously destroyed hy fire by an old woman. Coulter offers £ 100, and the neighbouring rntlemen £ 100 more, for the discovery of the ffeudcis. On Sunday last, a set of ringers from Mudford a me lo ring a peal on Montiicule bells, when the foot of one of them uufoi Innately became entangled n the. rope, which drew him up a considerable height, when, by the fail, he iretired a severe conlnsion on the head and back, and now lies at the King's Arms, without the least hope of re- bvery ; and, on tbe next day, a fire broke out at farm house belonging to John Pheiips, Esq. occupied by Mr. Martin, when the whole building was consumed. During the conflagration, while eight men were iu the interior of the house, using very exertion to stop the progress of the devouring lefiieutf tbe roof fell in with a tremendous crash, which so blocked up tiie several door ways, that no apparent means were left of escape, while all inevitable and agonising death seemed fast ap- proaching. They at length succeeded in forcing an « utrance through a window, which means of escape some accepted, while others made their way thrOngh the fire, in the best way their awful ituatioo suggested ; but four, wc lament to state, dreadfully burnt, and deprived of vision — Taunton Journal. Mrs. Siddons left her marine retreat, Ibe re- sidence of the late W. Hayley, Esq. on Saturday se'iinight. A few days before- her departure, an accident befel this lady, which, as- it was nut at. tended by serious consequences, afforded much amusement to the fashionables at Bognor. Mrs. S. had taken a warm bath at Walkdtn's, after which, as was her custom, sbe took an siting in a four- wheeled carriage, accompanied by her fiieud, Mrs. Wilkinson, proceeding in the direction of Middleton church. As the driver of Ihe vehicle had, on a former occasion, manifested symptoms of napping, while taking Mrs. Siddons out for au airing, the coachman of that ladv, by her express order, look his station on tbe box alongside of Jehu, for the purpose of keeping him awake Feeling herself drowsy, Mrs. Siddons covered her head with her shawl, aud resigned herself lo the arms of Somnus, from which, however, she was soon aroused by the falling of the vehicle into deep ditch. Fortunately, no other consequence but alarm resulted from the accident, with the exception of a slight bruise received by Mrs. Wilkinson. On inquiry, neither Ihe coachman, llor footman, nor passenger, could tell how they got into such a dilemma— the fact being confessed, Ihat the n- ltole party were fast asleep when lite casualty took place.— Brighton Herald. Last week two young men, of corresponding ages, applied at our Dispensary, at the same time, for surgical relief from a state of suffocation, under the following circumstances:— One of the sufferers had accidentally swallowed a plum- stone, and the other also too laige a piece of animal food to pass the gullet. The introduction of the instrument, however, by Ihe medical attendant, soon relieved them from tbe distressing state under which they were labouring. But what makes Ihe circumstance still more remarkable is, that both of them, a few years ago, by mistake, swallowed some burning liquid, the one oil of vitriol, the other aquafortis, anil both are unknown to each other.— Stockport Advertiser. A few days since theie was another death of a surgeon resulting from a wound received while en- gaged in dissecting a subject; It occurred at Bath. The particulars of both deaths are curious— of that of the man dissected, as well as that of Ihe young surgeon, who was the assistant at Ihe Bath Dispensary. A drayman picked up a large needle, and stuck it into the breast of bis smock frock. While afterwards engaged in his labours, a cask or something came against the drayman, and forced the great needle into his person with sp much force, and to such a dfpth, that il could not be extracted, nor could the unfortunate man pursue his work. Slight as the cause was apparently, this accident occasioned the man's death ; he soon became seriously ill, and no art could extract the needle, or save the individual's life. After his death, the Assistant- surgeon was desirous of ( lis sectiug the body, and particularly of ascertaining the station of the needle which had produced tbe mortification aud death. Of course, the part sur- rounding the needle was the most important object of dissection; and while engaged in dissecting such portion of the body, the Assistant surgeon rather slightly cut his finger. This wound could not be cured ; in two days the left arm swelled considerably ; aud in a day or two afterwards morti- fication ensued, terminating in the death of the Bath Dispensary's Assistant- surgeon! Death from such cause, is by no means without precedent, a. s may be proved by the modern annals of our hospi- tals ; however, they show how extremely careful ought to be those young surgeons, who dissect sub- jects that havedied under particularcircumstances. A balloon, made of varnished silk paper, and beautifully painted, containing about 120 feet of gas, was sent off from the Chorley gas works on the last day of the fair ( filb instant), at half- pas^ three o'clock in the afternoon. It ascended with very great rapidity, and disappeaied behind a dense black cloud. A note was attached lo the bow of the net work, requesting the finder to give infor. illation of the time aud place it descended at. On Wednesday, a letter was received from Mr. Samuel Ward, giving 1111 account of its descending at Southwell, near Nottingham, at half- past five the same evening. The distance which it had travelled in the two hours is, probably, nearly 80 miles in a direct line. The Indian Chief, the pretended native of Bolacudos! who gratified admiring crowds at Bristol Fair, is said to have been a Spaniard. He was dismissed, it seems, after the fair, with only 5s. in his pocket, and application was made to the Spanish Consul to send liini home.

When it is well mixed, add a little quick lime, through a sieve, until it has acquired the consistence of a thick paste. With this cement broken vessels and cracks of all kinds may be mended. It dries quickly, and resists the action of fire and water. Singular Circumstance— A youth 12 years old, born blind, who had been for the last year at the institution in London for instruction, made his appearance unexpectedly in his native village ( a few miles north of Lincoln), a short time since. He had escaped from school, and having a little money in his pocket, called a chariot and drove to the c- o'ach 0' ftice, where he look a place for one stage, after w hich he walked the remainder of the way home ( upwards of 120 miles). He was 011 the road from Sunday till Friday, stopped the last night at the Green MAN on the Heath, aud passed through Lincoln on the market day. To avoid being seen in returning through the viiiage, be took a by- path 10 his father's house. ' His cause for leaving school was, he felt unsettled, as some friends had wished him to come home during the holidays: he expressed regret for what he bud done, and an earnest wish lo return to the school, which he has done. T- Iohenlohe Humbug.— In Dublin it has been given out at the various Catholic Chapels 011 Sunday last, that 110 more miracles would be per- formed by Prince Hohenlohe until the 1st January next!

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.— On the 15th of September, at Berne, in Switzerland, at the Eng- lish Ambassador's Chapel, Lord Viscount Sandon, eldest son of the Earl of Harrowhy, to Lady- Frances Stewart, only daughter of Ihe Marchioness of Bute, and grand- daughter of the late Mr. Coutts. Upon this happy occasion Mrs. Coutts presented her grand daughter with a present of £ 20,000, and to Lord Saudon £ 1,000 a year. The accounts lately received from Greece are in the highest degree favourable. They clearly d monstratc what can be done by a brave ami united people, who, throwing aside the pedantry of ora torieal patriotism, and the juggling of financial machinery, seriously resolve to woik out their freedom by valour and perseverance. VVe have to lament, that the affairs of Spain have too much diverted the attention of the people of Europe from the struggles of the gallast Greeks ; and thai even now the bustle of Ihecloseof the Spanish drama renders the affairs of Greece of compara- tively inferior interest. We cannot however fear, but that when the scene shall have closed upon the Spanish contest, the attention of the people of England will be again directed to the mure just and honourable achievements . of their Christian brethren of Greece. Relative to the Reduction of taxation in the conse of next year, as noticed in our last week's Journal, an Evening Paper has ( he following remarks—" It is not improbable but that Mr. Robinson next Session will effect this, We be- lieve that tbe amount of the old 4 per Cents is about 130 millions, the interest payable on which is about 5j millions. If Mr. Robinson proposes lo reduce the interest a half per Cent, the annual saving to the nation would be three- fourths of a million, though at the expense of all persons hold- ing old 4 pe'r Cents, ft is a reduction to a certain extent froiir the interest of the debt, only done in a fair manner ; but if Mr. Robinson should propose to turn the old 4 per cents into 3 per Cents, then the saving to the country would be equal to oue million and a half per annum. This would be ac- complishing an annual saving of a suni. of money ei) ual to what is raised every year for the Crown and the Pension expenditure; and is probably equal in amount lo a tax of one and a half percent, on the income derived from the real properly of tbe country. This, whenever brought about, will be called a grand measure of finance. It is the fashion to give every thing high- sounding names.- This " grand financial measure," however, means nothing different from saying to such as derive au income of £ 400 a- year, from a principal of £ W, 000 4 per Cent, stock, the country shall in future give you only £ 351) or £ 300 a year, and if you do not agree to that, you shall be paid off' your prin- cipal, which you may invest in any other way you may think proper. Experience shows, however, that most people prefer remaining as they were; for ihe very offer to pay them off, stamps a value on the article proposed to be paid oft' that they never before contemplated; they submit to the re- duction of income, and make shift to do with the £ 350 or £ 300 a- year, instead of £ 400 a year. This is the simplicity of this threatened financial operation," We believe that we may confidently congratulate the public upon tbe certain repeal of the whole body of the odious Assessed Taxes, iu the course of the- next Session-. The deficiency produced by the repeal of these Taxes will, it is . expected, be made good by the general improvement of the Revenue, by the reductions lately made, aud by the conversion of 130 millions of Four per Cents, into Three per Cents.— London Packet. The Colombian Observer, a Philadelphia paper, of the 3d of September, iu its obituary, gives an account of the decease of young Watson:—" At Mount Vernon, Bullit County, Kentucky, 011 the 2d of August, of bilious fever, James Watson,, jun., a native of England, aged 27 years. O11 account of a speech be made, some years since, at a Meeting at Spafields, he, with Dr. Watson ( his father , Thistlewood, and others, were arrested, and committed to prison, charged with treason. Thistlewood aud two or three others, were executed, tbe elder Watson was acquitted, and Watson, jun. made his escape to this country. He eventually settled in Tennessee, and about two years since was arrested in Nashville, charged with breaking open a store, was tried and sentenced to be hanged, but was pardoned by Governor Carroll, who, it is said, was convinced of his innocence. After his misfortune in Tennessee, Watson wandered from place to place, until within a few weeks of his death, when he settled in Mouut Vernon, with a view of commencing the practice of physic." BAGNF, LAKE AND GLACIER.— In 1805, and • ioine of the subsequent years, immense masses of ice having. fallen into the river Drouse, in the valley of Bagne, they became consolidated by the cold, and thus proved a barrier to the passage of the water, by which a lake of considerable extent was formed, Owing, however, to the pressure of the accumulated fluid, the ice gave way, and occasioned prodigious destruction, from the escape of the water into the lands beneath. Though tlius broken, the barrier has again, by the accumulation of ice, become almost as complete as before, and has given rise lo tbe apprehension. of some dreadful consequences. It has- been therefore an important object to pre vent a repetition of them, by diminishing, or at least putting a stop to the increase of the harrier. The method adopted by M. Veuetz promises the greatest success. lie had observed that the glacier could not support itself where the river is of a [ certain width, but fell into it, and was. soon dis- solved. He formed and executed the design of bringing tbe waters of the streams from the neigh burning mountains, by a canal lo Mavoism, op- posite the . highest part, of the glacier, from whence it was .. conducted in Iwo streams, in wooden troughs, on the glacier iti a direction parallel to the valley, and, being warmed by the sun in its course, it soon cuts very deep channels in the ice. By varying the direction of the current, different parts are thus cut, so that the ice is constantly fallin into the river, where it is dissolved. When the weather is fine, these streams, which are about five inches in diameter, act with extraordinary povvei, piercing a hole 200 feet deep, and six feet broad, in 24 hours. They are calculated to remove 100,000 cubic feet of ice from the barrier daily, by which it is expected that, should the weather con- tinue favourable, the whole will be taken away in three years. M. Veuetz estimates tbe quantity removed in the year 1822, as between eleven and twelve millions of cubic feet. AOLECED DISCOVERIES.— Among the inter- esting acquisitions made by Mr. Moprfiroft, iu his progress through those elevated and imperfectly known regions bordering 011 India, the followin are, perhaps, worthy of enumeration :—- 1st, The discovery of vast resources of timber suited to ship building, and sufficient in quantity to supply all the demands' of ship builders iu India for some years' to come. 2( 1, The discovery of a whiter aud more productive kind of wheat than any variety yet. known in Britain. 3d, The discovery of several sorts of barley, all more productive, and several containing more valuable properties for malting than those hitherto cultivated in England 4th, The discovery of a plant that cures the rot sheep, of wjiich disease the late Dr. Bakewell asserted that hundreds of thousands died every year in Britain. 5th, The discovery of a hardy variety of hay, with which even the waste, moor's and heath covexed commons of-- England rtiay be cultivated, so as. to afford winter food for at least an additional million of sheep, while the qiiality of this food is such as to fatten them in half the time they would require to fatten on any known forage at present in use. 5th, The discovery of ; breed of- . mountain- sheep, of which every cottage in England, not receiving parochial relief, may keep three with more ease than he can maintain a cur- dog.; so that every little farther may keep small flock of them on the present waste produce of his farm.

Female Beauty and Ornament. Anecdote.— In Claude's reply to Arnaud, the French Papist, we are told, that it was tbe humour of the Prince of Conde to have a Man of Wood ou horseback, dressed like a Field Officer, with a lifted broad" sword in its hand, which figure was fastened in the great saddle, and the horse it was on always kept by the great Conde* s side when he travelled or engaged iifthe bloody field.- Fearless the Man of Wood appeared in niany a well fought battle; but as they pursued the enemy one after- noon through a forest, in riding hard, a bough knocked oft' the wooden warrior's head, yet slill he galloped on after flying foes, to the amazement and terror of the enemy, who saw a hero without a head. pursuing ^ FINANCIAL MISCALCULATION.— Living in France.—' The plea of economy, by which our fashionable absentees have hitherto sought to pal- liate the rage for preferring France, as a home, to the more national and rational plan of residing in their native country, may be duly estimated by tbe following simple extract from a private letter, which at the same time exposes ihe great annoyance conse- quent upon the police system of our Gallic neigh- bours. FROM A PRIVATE LETTER. Paris, Sept. 11.— The vigilance of the police has been increased within the last few days to such an extent that we may be really said to be' living under the reign of terror. Spies multiply, in every quar- ter, and a man is only just safe iu the bosom of his family. The trouble and bother which are given to foreigners about passports are worse than inquisi- torial. A friend of mine, who bad ihe misfortune to lose his passport, was detained six weeks iu Paris petitioning for another, and was, during the time, treated with marked insolence. The weather continues very fine, and the harvest is carried in almost all parts (' if France. The crops are abundant, and of excellejit quality. In fruit there is really so bountiful a crop, iliat a great quantity of it must lie destroyed, from want of purchasers. The following are the market prices of articles- this day, after cheapening, which is neces- sary here, 11s it alwms produces a diminution of at Least two- thirds. Things are not cheaper than in the country parts of England.

Of- these, tvt- 6 are disqualified, from taking part in the election of Representative Peers, being Catholics, the. Earls. yf Ttaquair and Newburgh; tenaremihois, viz.

Tu allusion to. a report, which has beenjately revived, that his Majesty has signified his gracious intention of restoring the Scots' Peers " whose titles were forfeited in 1715 and 1745, the following lists may not be uninteresting to some of our readers. . The first shows the Peerages forfe'tjed in the years before mentioned, and which have not ' been restored. The second is a list of dormant Scots Peerages, to which there are claimants now living, some. of whom niay be expected to establish their; Maiuis": 1 and even allowing for the - total extinction of some of the former, families, and the ill success of part of the claimants to the dormant t itles, still the Peerage of .

The Lord Justice Clerk, in his usual address to the sheri ff'sof the counties of Lanark, Kenfrew, and Dumbarton, at the conclusion of the last Circuit Court held at Glasgow, called their attention, as well as that of the Magistrates of Glasgow, to the very alarming increase of crime, in this district of the empire. If the number of persons indicted aud tried at the present Glasgow circuit have been equalled, they have never been surpassed, nor equalled in enormity. These,- crimes consist, of murder, culpable homicide, aggravated assaults, by means of stabbing or committed by that atro- cious instrument, vitriolic acid ; of very " aggravated cases of housebreaking, and of systematica reset- crimes that show an alteration in the, Suot4ish cha- racter. Instead of being remarkable, continued his Lordship, for our sobriety, our industry, and our paucity of crime, a character which we formerly de- servedly enjoyed ; . and instead of being like a part of Scotland, we are become, from the employment of deadly knives or daggers, or the diabolical use of vitriol, as if we were the citizens of an Italian State, Il was vexatious to observe, that while crime was ou the decrease in England, it was on the increase in the West of Scotland. At York assizes, which jurisdic- tion embraces a large and- populous district, and which are just concluded, there were only 38 cases ; and we bad at the present Circuit Court not less than 60. The same paucity of crime was observable at Lancaster Assizes, where there were only between 40 and 50. The people of the West of Scotland once had the character of being sober, but we have fora time lost that character; and it is only by returning to virtuous habits that we can regain our good charac- ter. His Lordship denied the increase of population was the only cause of this state of demoralization. In his opinion, a great source of crime in this district is the crowded state of the gaol and bridewell of Glasgow, which afiord no means of classification among the prisoners, the less guilty being mixed with the more guilty ; and being thus exposed to corrupting conversation, the increase of crime is the natural consequence. He said that he was glad he was snaking these remarks in the hearing of those who had the power and disposition to remove the evil. The size of the gaol is not sufficient for the quantity of crime that now exists in this large tnanu factoring district, as there cannot be any demarcation among the prisoners, from the small space it occu- pies; and it is quite obvious that the requisite care and. attention cannot * » e bestowed on the prisoners, and there is no doubt the vicious habits acquired within are communicated to those without. His Lordship, however, bore testimony to the care be stowed on the religious instruction of the prisoners , but declared his firm conviction that that so long as there is no classification among the prisoners, things will not be bettered. The time has now arrived when an enlargement of the gaol must take place. Since the time of erecting the gaol of Glasgow, crime had doubled, nay— nearly tripled in quantity. On the English circuits the Courts sat short hours— so short, that had the judges not sat longer each day at Glas gow, they would not have been able to close the business within a fortnight. The county of Kent has set a noble example, as they have erected a gaol at Maidstone, the expense of which is about £ 200,009. The gaol his Lordship pointed out as fit for imitation is the new gaol of Edinburgh ; and he remarked that the money, as in that city, should be raised % y as- sessment. He said that he had no wish lo recom- mend au increase of our public burdfth^ but cir- cumstances rendered it absolutely necessary ; aud there was no justice in taking the requisite sum from the town funds. In allusion to the vitriolic acid aud stabbing assaults, his Lordship observed,, that if the convictions at the present circuit did not prove suffi- cient to put down these crimes in Scotland, he was afraid it would be necessary to procure from the Legislature an extension of Lord Ellen borough's Act to this part of the empire. His Lordship said it was j i he inhanitants ot the land ot Natal, wear caps not the with of the Judges to increase the number of j. bonnets, from six to ten inches high, composed ol CREATION. NAME. 1364; ^ Sutherland Keith Erskhie ' 1455 1457 The ladies in Japan gild their teeth; and those of the Indies paint them red. The pearl of teeth must be dyed black to be beautiful in Guzurat. In Greenland tbe ladies colour their faces with blue and yellow. However fresh the complexion of a Muscovite may be, she would think herself vmy ugly if she was not plastered over with paint. The Chinese must have their feet as diminutive as those of the she- goat's, and to render them thus their youth is passed in tortures. In ancient Persia an aquiline nose was often thought worthy of the crown ; and if there was any competition between two Princes, the people generally went by this cri- terion of Majesty, In some countries the mothers break the noses of their children; and in others press the head between two boards that it may become square. The modern Persians have a strong aversion to red hair; the Turks, on the contrary, are warm admirers of it. The female Hottentot receives from the hand of her lover, not silks nor wreaths of flowers, but warm guts and reeking tripe, to dress herself with enviable ornaments. In China small round eyes are liked; and the girls are continually plucking their eyebrows that they may be thin and long. The Turkish women dip a gold. brush in the tincture of a black drug, which they passover their eyebrows; it is not visible by day, but looks shining by night; they tinge their nails with a rose colour. An African beauty must have small eyes, thick lips, a large flat nose, and a kin. beautifully black. The Emperor of Monomo- pata would not change his amiable negress for the most brilliant European beauty. An ornament for the nose appears to us perfectly unnecessary. The Peruvians, however, think other- wise ; and they hang on it a weighty ring, the thickness of which is proportioned by the rank of their husbands. The custom of boring it, as our ladies do their ears, is very common in several nations. Through the perforation are hung various materials— gold, stones, a single and sometimes a great number of gold rings. The female head- dress is carried in some countries to singular extravagance. The Chinese fair carries on her head the figure of a certain bird. This bird is composed of copper or of gold, according to the quality of the person, the wings of which spread out, fall over the front of the head- dress, and conceal the temples. The tail, long and open, forms a beautiful tuft of feathers. The beak covers the top of the nose; the neck is fastened to the body of the arti ficial animal bv a spring, that it may the more freely play and tremble at the slightest motion. The extravagance of the Myaulses is far more ridiculous than the above. They carry on th' heads a slight board, rather longer than a foot, and about six inches broad ; with this they cover their hair, and seal it with wax. They cannot lie down nor lean, without keeping the neck straight, and thf country being very woody, it is not uncommon to find them with their head- dress entangled in the trees. Whenever they comb their hair, they pass an hour by the fire in melting the wax ; but this comb- ing is performed only once or twice a year. The inhabitants of the land of Natal wea capital oftenees; but if these crimes are continued, his Lordship said he could not insure the country f against tke above addition. 1' the fat of oxen. They then gradually anoint the head with a purer grease, which, mixing with the hair, fastsus thsse bonnets for their lives. 1487 1566 1581 • 1600- I*> £ 1600 1607 1609 1609 1614 1624 Drum mo ml Maxwell Maxwell Livingstone Seton ' a Balfour Drunimond Preston • a Balfour Mackenzie 1628 1633 SDalzell Gordon 1633 . cLivingston 1639 ZiDalzell 1639 1646 1661 1681 cLivingston Maule cLiurngston Nairue CtONlfS,- Lord Duffus.

Th e new Pope, when Archbishop of Tyre, wa^ entrusted by Pius VII. with an important mission to Germany. Several Ecclesiastical Principalities and Chapters had been secularised in tliat country, and their estates occupied by the secular Princes; and • hese spoliations weie confirmed on the 25th of Feb ruary, 1803, by the Diet of Ratishon, then assem- bled under the mediation of France and Russia. The Coin t of Rome was seriously alarmed ut changes which extended to a gieat length, and were pro- ductive of great disorder in the religions state of the country. The Pnpe addressed urgent remonstrances to the German States. The sketch of a Concordat was then prepared in the conferences held between M. de Dalberg, formerly Archbishop of Men'z, and M. Troni, Auditor of the Pontifical . Legation; but when it became necessary to go into the detail of arrangements necessary for settling ibe interests of the different dioceses, difficulties multiplied on all hands. The Pope, therefore, demanded that these matters should be treated in special conferences with the Diet of Ratisbon. ' I bis la » k was entrusted to the Archbishop Delia Genga ( now Leo XII.), then Nuncio of his Holiness. Fin lit conferences were accordingly held between the 6th of February, 1804, and the 21st of March following, and iu all these M! Delia Genga displayed greal talents and an un- wearied zeal iu the cause of religion. The other negociator8 were M. de Fianek, Referendary of the German . Empire, and iVl. Kolborn, Suffragan of M. de Dalberg. It was believed iliat ill. Delia Grnga's exertions would huve been crowned wiib success, had not Bonaparte broken up tbe whole proceeding by involving Germany in war, nnd dissolving the Ger- mnn Empire, out of the wrecks of which be formed the Confederation of ibe Rhine. M. Delhi Genga was even then not discouraged, but applied to the Courts of Munich and Wurteniberg to conclude those arrangements of whicli ihe bases were already agreed upon. They, however, were too much in " diead of Bonaparte's power to venture on such a step without his direction ; and the worthy Prelate was forced to return to Rome without having obtained the object of bis mission. His Sovereign, nevertheless, wa's- so well satisfied with the talent and energy that lie displayed on the occasion, that he immediately gave him an important office in tbe spiritual administration of Rome, and finally, in the year 1816, created liiin a Cardinal. Pope LeoXll. was born August 2, 1760, and has consequently enlered his64th year. Many of our readers will, perhaps, be surprised at the title of Leo XII. assumed by the new Pope. Everybody is familiar with the celebrated name of Leo X. but few, probably, know that there was ever a Pope called Leo XI.: the fact is, that tlie Pope so designaied reigned for a spnee not quite amounting- hi a mouth, be having been chosen on tbe 1st of April, 1605, and . dying op the 27th of tlie same month; Few- Popes ( from the great age at which it has been ilie policy of the Conclave to raise one of their brethren lo that dignity) have reigned more than. 10 yea I* : the average is below that peiiod. The two last Popes, indeed, held the keys for above 20 years each, but such prolonged reigns have only Iwo parallels in the course of upwards of two cen- turies— viz. Urban VIII. and Clement XI. In tbe interval of 84 years between Leo X. and Leo XI. 14 Popes reigned ; each Pope, on an average, reigning for six years. The average from Hurt time ro the present lias been about 10. years. Taking a period somewhat more than ibe three hist centuries— viz. from ihe year 1503 till the present year, 1823— there have been 37 Popes, making an average of 9 years to each Pope The increased longevity of lale years may be owing lo Iwo causes— Ihe inconvenience of very short reignsimiy have been found to have out- weighed the advantage of frequent elections; and the ancient . mode of getting rid of troublesome Pon- tiffs at a least or the sacrament, lias been abolished umler the influence of increased knowledge and consequently wiser principles. BALLOONS.— When the Revolution had roused file spirit of enterprise and invention in France, and science- was made in every way subservient to the purposes of military power, an Aerostatic Institute wan founded by the Committee of Public Safely, and the Royal Lodge of Uleudon was chosen as a manu- factory for tbe preparation of the Balloons, and of the apparatus, necessary to accompany fhem to the armies, and a man of indefatigable irmidnity aud profound research, was appointed Director,— The corps of aeronauts destined to serve the army of tiie Republic consisted of 5Q courageous youths, trained at vie lid oil, where the Balloons were prepared; tbe Enlreprenant Cor the ariny of Ibe North ; the Celeste, for the army of Ibe Sanib're and Mnese; the Hercule nnd Intrepide, fhr Ibe army-, of the Rhine and Mo- selle.— The whole management was enveloped in profound seer MY. The re was a' cainp for the exer- cise of the artillery^ but the whole was conducted by the Republic \ vilh the. greatest - privacy and precaution, the doors being shut against the public and all foreigners. Conde applied his thoughts to the invention of an aerostatic telegraph, which, with- out assistance of a great balloon, or an aet'itil corre- spondent, should he managed by a person standing ou tbe ground, by cords ; tbe apparatus being suspended to'a small balloon of only twelve feet in diameter. Coutel, captain of the aeronautic corps, ascended with the Entrepreiiant balloon on the 26th of June, 1794, and conducted the wonderful and important service of reconnoitring the hostile armies at tbe battle of Fleitnis, accompanied'by an adjutant and a general. He Useended twice on that day, to observe ( from an elevation of four hundred aud forty yards) the position and inanccuvres of the enemy. On each occasion be remained four hours iu the air, and, by preconcerted signals with flags, carried on a corre- spondence with Gen. Jourdau, commander of the French army. His intended ascent had been made kuuwii to the enemy, who, when the balloon began to tpke its flight, opened" the fire of a battery against flie aeronauts. The first volley was directed too low; one hall, nevertheless, passed between the balloon and the car, and so near that Coutel imagined it had struck it. When- the subsequent charges were made, the balloon had already reached such a degree of altitude as to be beyond the reach of cannon shot, and the aeronauts saw the balls flying beneaih the car. Arrived at their intended height, the observers, remote from danger, and undisturbed, viewed all ihe evolutions of the enemies, and, from the peaceful regions of Ibe air, commanded a distinet and compre- hensive prospect of'two formidable armies engaged in the work of death. * 1430 1431 1603 1633 - 1661 1685 1686 1703 FORFEITED IN 1745.

The Hon. Colonel Francis William Grant, brother to the Earl of Scafield, and heir presumptive, was probably mistaken for the Claim- ant of the honours. ON POPULATION.— Supposing the earth to be peopled with one thousand millions of inhabitants, nnd allowing thirty- three years for a generation, the deaths of each age amount to 30,000,000- of each day, to 82,000— and of each hour, to 3446. But as Ihe number of deaths to the number of births is as 10 to 12, there are born yearly 36,000,000— daily, 98,630 — and hourly, 4109. Reckoning only three genera- tions to a century, and supposing the world has existed 5700 years, there have been only 172 gener- ations from the Creation, 125 since the Deluge, and 55 since the Christian JErn— Out of every 1000 there die annually 30 ; and the number of inhabitants of every city and country is renewed every thirty years. Of 200 children, one dies in ihe birth; but more than one- third of the births die within two years of age.— The births are more numerous than the'deatbs, in any given place ; and the proportion of-( he births of male aud female are not ill a wide proportion, not an uncertain accidental . number, but nearly « qual. Major Gianni's tables, formed about 150 years ago, slated, for the bills of mortality, 15 males to 13 females; whence lie justly inferred, that tbe Christ- ian Religion, prohibiting polygamy, is more agree- able to the law of nature than Mohammedanism, and all other persuasions that allow it. The majority of males is a dispensation to provide for their dangers and losses by wars, sea voyages, excess of labour, & c.— Every marriage, upon a general view, produces four births— allowing for those which produce none, and those which produce an extraordinary number of children.— This curious proportion is every where preserved, and is a manifestation of the order of DIVINE PROVIDENCE, by which the world lias never been overstocked wiih population, notwithstanding the great increase and doublings of each species of animals since Ibe re- peopling of it by the sous of Noah and their widely- spread descendants.
