Governed solely by such Motives, so humane, genuine, and disinterested, - Dr. L. cannot- bill ensure Ihe Gratitude of the afflicted, the Approbation of the good, and the sincere Benediction- of Mankitid.

I , The CORDIAL BALM OF ZURA, or Phccnix of Life, j < forms the most powerful, stimulating-, and hig- hly I flavoured Medicine in the whole Materia Medica. It j is prepared from an Asiatic Berry, strongly resemb- I ling1 that of the English Whitethorn ; and was the j 5Result of the Labours of the renowned Reinbert- 1; Dodoeus, Physician to the Turkish Emperor and his J Harem. In 1578, a uiost splendid; Ca^ e of this in- J valuable Cordial was Bent by the Sultan to Qneen I Elizabeth, artd" was taken by her Majesty as av- nobU* J Renovator of the whole System. It has been found I by a i> iost extensive and respectable private Practice, 1 ' to' be the niost effieacions Medicine extant, for 1 strengthening the Nerves, removing- all Obstructions j in the Stonsach and Lnngs, cherishing- the Heart, J reviving1 tl'( e1 Spit'its, streUyj'thtning1 the RTeniory, j promoting- Digestion, dispelling- Flatulencies, Wdis- I persing the rtearthurn and Choleric All'ections,. pre- J vents Apoplexy, purifies the Blood, removes Scorbutic j • Eruptions as well as Scnvfula, and is of' the highest J ; Distinction in Gouty und I^ henmatic Disorders.'

' • - • J NERVOUS DISORDERS, in the tremendous Catalogue of Diseases Hicidental I ; to Mankind, those of the Nervous Desciipt'rorv are I the m'ost complicate and difficult to cure. They I resemble almost every Disease, and scarcely two J . Persons are affected in a similar Manner k, they are j : continually changing their Action, Shape, and Cou- I ulitioii, while, under every fresh Attack, the Patient \ . feels. some Symptoms he never before experienced. I Thus the Mind often becomes a/ Prey - fo the most ; fatal'Apprehensions, while the diseased linaginaiidn j . forges those wild Chimeras, which perpetually haunt [ : and" distress the Brain. " The Sun^ as it were goes f dovyn on the He^ r't, and the Shadows of the Evening- | • close in on the Soul 1" Suc'h are the sad Thoughts r and distressing' Feelings which'agitate that real j Object of Commiseration, a Nervous Patient, Ta j such, what a Treasure will be fonnd in the Cordial I palm of Zura; or,- Pliccnix of Life ! The vital Prin- ciple, under' its divine Operation', Ij'ke tbe fabled J Phccnix, spring's from the Embers of a decayed Con- J slitution, ftiid rises to Happiness and Life, Reani- j mated, Retivvated, and Etheiealised. / \ I GENERAL SYMPTOMS. The Symptoms whic| i precede,' accompany, and follow this distressing* Crtmplaint are very niTtiVerous. j Tbe following are the most prominent:— Great De- pression » f Spirits, Timidity, Startings, Melancholy, Fickleness of Temper, Restlessufe, Anxiety, and a painful- Presentiment of Death;' With its Increase, frequent Attacks of the Cramp, Head Ache, settled Pains in different Parts of the Body, the E, yea are clouded, a continual Ringing in the igars. Dullness, of Hearing, alternate Chills arid/ Fliishes of Peat, I Weariness, Nausea, Logs of Jh6 Appetite, DecaV of j Strength, Burning Heat in I lie Pat'ins of the Hands | and Soles of the Feet, a Sensation like that of cold Water running down the Back, the Pulse quick, weak, and irregular, parched Tongue, violent Pal- pitations of the Heact, Difficulty of Breathing, and Convulsions. It is not difficult to point out the Means of relieving- tbe Patient, but none. have ever proved so powerful, so efficacious, as the Cordial Balm of Zura; or, Phccnix of Life : as a Restorer of Streng th to internal Decay, it stands unequalled, and may be relied on in producing immediate Relief in every Stage of Nervous Complaints, The immense Numbers re- stored to the full Blessings of Health within the last eighteen Months, from the very Confines of the Grave, will best vouch for its surprising Qualities, and a single Trial urge more in its Behalf, than all the Powers of Rhetoric combined 1 FEMALE COMPLAINTS. The nutritive- and. cleansing Powers of the Balm of Zura^ or Phccnix of Life, are peculiarly adapted to the Delicacy of the Female Habit and Constitution, under those necessary Operations, designed by the Great Creator, for the Preservation of Health, the Continuation of the Human Species, aud the Felicity of Domestic Existehce. It removes those Obstruc- tions, which too often nip in the Bud the Promise of the future Blossom. - It promotes the Secretions, aud preserves the Course of Nature from Impediment; comforts, exhilarates, and supports in those import- ant and peculiar PerlodsvPuberty, Maturity, and the Change of Life : for the want of which, many of those lovely, interesting, and valuable Ornaments of Creation sink into an untimely Grave. The . most sovereign Remedy yet found, is in the exalted and inestimable Virtues of the Cordial Balm of Zura, or Phcenix of Life 5 the greatest* Restorative of ex- hausted Nature; by a due Perseverance in which, the whole. Muscular Fibres become invigorated, all the Solids which were relaxed, ar? braced, every Office of Nature is properly performed. Seize then the Opportunity which offers, for the Cordial Balm of Zura, or Phcenix of Life, possesses Powers which almost exceed Credibility, in restoring languid Na- ture, aud invigorating tbe whole Constitution.

PARRY'S PROJECTED VOYAGE— Re- ports have heen in circiulat. ion for some, time of another voyage to be undertaken by that intrepid navigator,^ vvho has. now passed three winters frozen up at the N, orlh Pole. At length these reports have assumed a more authentic s^. pe, and we arc able to inform our. readers, that Captain. Pai'ry is certainly to proceed on another voyage, and to point out the; course he is to pursue^ lit'will probably be recollected, that Captain Parry, in his fi'r^ t voyage, discovered, after .. entering Lancaster So « i\ d, but did not explore, an opening, which lie called Prince Regent's Inlet— leaving that, which seemed to turn to the South West, on his left hand, he; proce^ led, beset with ice and dangers, straight forward, as it were, in a North Westerly direction. This inlet promised well at, the time, hut ihe body of Lancaster S^ ii^ d was not then explored, and therefore the iniet was nc(": esyai; i! y passed by. We understand that the Admiralty' have resolved thai this inlet shall also b^. cxamincd, in order that no opening which promises success may be neglected. Captain Parry is, therefore, to proceed the ensuing summer, in his old and, good ship tj « £ Hecla, to Prince Regent's Inlet. From the situation where Hearu discovered the sea, and the apparent direc- tion of thia Inlet, we should be led to anticipate a favourable result. Of course the v- oyage is not . planned vithout Captj Parry's approbation, and ' we are given to understand he cxpects to succeed, if any where, in this direction. If the. wished- for . discovery should nbt. be made ii this direction, at least sp enterprising ail. officer cannot be employed there without . adding more than he has hitherto done to pur knowledge of regions, which, before modern improvements had taught us to master the elements, were inaccessible to the inhabitants of temperate climates. „ From his perseverance, bow- ever, we hope much, and look forward with some •- confidence to this third anil last voyage accotn- plishing its object, or demonstrating for ever its utter impossibility.— London 1' apsr. EXECUTION.— Oil Wednesday morning, pur- suant lo their . sentences, four unhappy men who had violated the laws of their country, were exe- cuted al the front of Ne. wgate, vis.— John Smith, - aged 24 years, for uttering forged five- pound Bank of England , notes ; John Crisp, aged 29 years, for committing, a daring, burglaryin Hackney Road ; Edward Hogan, aged 18 years, for attempting to assassinate his fellow- workman ; and James Scott, aged 48 years, for cutting'and maiming his wife.

Their contents are of considerable importance, considered iu connexion with the alarm and agitation which have been produced, it seems, throughout the whole of • our West India Colonics, by the discussions which too, k place last Session in Parliament, and the consequent apprehension that they were intended to lead to some final measures fdr the gradual emancipation of the negro popu- lation. These Papers con tain a mass of matter upon the subject, which cannot but excite the anxious- consideration of thOsti in w hose will it lies fo calm or aggravate the fears thus inspired.— Meetings have been called in almost every parish of the island of Jamaica, and the language employed in many of the requisitions, - breathes a' temper, which should make us pause before we proceed further. It may be prejudice which operates upon the minds of these people,- but if such be the case, it will behove us to enlighten them, and make them understand the good we intend, before'we impart it.— Courier.

In our Journal of September 10, we noticed Mr. Telford's having been requested to make a Survey, and to giv; e in j^ i Plan and Estimate, for improving, the passageulirough SIfrewsbiwy .— Short) y; after- Wards the survey was commenced,' and levels were- carried across the town in; various directions : and;, yesterday a plan, shewing- the result thereof, was- received by Mr. William Mar ley from M r. JWordy accoi'npanied with an explanatory Repmt.';- 9< l; ( • " The - peninsular form of the ;. towri,... ^ vtyicfc, being well adapted for defence:, was ( Mr. Telford, says) its Original recommendation, and. which still constitutes - much of its picturesque beauty, is rather inconvenient as regards its approaches, which is further, increased by the shape- of the ground, which-, consisting of a ridge of considerable eleva- tion, with bold and steep banks; facing- the riven, renders it singularly difficult to acquire a commodi- ous thoroughfare for wheel carriages, without destroying- much valuable properly, and otherwise ncurring a very heavy expense." He therefore recommends the Road to be conti- nued along the present line through the town ; and for the improvement thereof suggests ( commencing at the upper part of Frankwell), that the following- alterations he^ jnade, viz. To takedown part of the houses on the left- hand side opposite the lane leading- from Frankwell to New Street ; parts of those on , the,, right- han. d, from a short distance below the above lane down to the String of Horses ( formerly the Royal Oak) public- house ; and part, of each of those situate between the Water- lane and the-< Welsh Bridge.— The ground in the lower part of Frankwell to be raised,, so as to prevent much of the inconvenience at present aris- ing frOm high floods; and the inclination in Frank- ell to be made at a rate . of Tin 5) 6.

His Lordship also observed, that he blamed no one for the delay, but he considered it a subject which called f6r his serious attention ; he therefore wished bis determination to be known, aud directed that notices should be sent round to all the Law Offices. In the Court of Ring's Bench, on Tuesday, the rule for a criminal information was made absolute against Llewellyn Williams, proprietor of the Surrey Theatre, for exhibiting a performance at that Theatre calculated lo prejudice the public against the persons now to be tried for the murder of Mr. Weare.— Yesterday, in the same Court, a similar rule was made absolute against Joseph Edgerley, printer, for printing and publishing a pamphlet, purporting to be an account of the murder of Mr. Weare, which pamphlet, it was alleged, vvas calculated in a most unwarrantable manner to excite a prejudice against the parties now to be tiied for the said murder. Ou Monday night/ ov early on Tuesday morning, the house of J. R. Bridges, Esq.. 36, Mecklen- burgh sqivare, was broken into, and robbed of property to the amount of £ 1500 aud upwards, consisting of jewellery, silver table, tea, dessert, and salt spoons, tea- pot, sauce- boats, ladles, gob- lets, funnels, wine- labels, salts, five £ 10 Bank notes, and a few articles of wearing apparel; oue necklace that was taken was worth-£ 600. The robbers effected the robbery and their escape with- out disturbing any of the family. In our fourth page we have inserted an account of the. execution of four unfortunate criminals, who expiated their offences against the laws of their Country by an ignominious end, upon the scaffold at the Old Bailey,-- on Wednesday last. The young man there described as John Smith, but whose real name is Richard Ellis, was once an inmate of Gloucester City Prison, and was tried at the Lent Assizes, iu April 182!, for" stealing several silver spoons and other articles of . plate from Mr. Tyers, of the Ram Inn, in that city. Of this crime he was convicted, and received sentence of death, hut his punishment was subsequently commuted for one year's imprisonment. It was hoped, that the deplorable situation in. which lie then appeared, had had its proper effect upon his mind, and would deter him from the pursuit of his evil practices; hut the period of his discharge was marked by his immediate return Jo his wonted companions; and his subsequent career of infamy, with its fatal issue, have only served to shew how utterly un. worthy he was of the mercy which was then ex- tended to him, and of the superadded favours which he received during his imprisonment there.

We think a book the very best present that can he made to a young person ;— a piece of dress can merely be worn— a trinket but pleases the eye;— a well chosen book, if handsome at the same time, wilj please the eye, inform the mind, and improve the heart. This recommendation is possessed in an eminent degree by the FORGET ME NOT for 1824, advertised iii our pages. No man has done more for the light and elegant department of our literature than Mr. Ackermann. He has intro- duced a style of embellishment unrivalled in its taslefulncss and in its beauty, and a selection of little pieces in which we have never found a single sentence to offend. Hence we would say, a priori, that a Christmas gift, coming from where this one comes, would be a tribute both to good taste and to right feeling. Some of the most tender, of our poets have here done their best : we have the in nocence of Bernard Barton, the tenderness of Montgomery, aud the touching elegance of Henry Neele. The prose pieces, too, are exceedingly well written ; and * he engravings ( which are numerous) are first- rate.

It was reportecj that the. deceased was in a pregnant state, but she was not. Some suspicion as to the offence had also been attached to a respectable character, but with- out any foundation. In fact, 011 hearing of the ' circumstance on Sunday morning, he promptly sur- rendered himself, and attended the inquest for the purpose of answering apy charge,— As the man committed must meet the charge in a few weeks before a solemn tribunal, w e refrain from publishing any ex- parte evidence, or rumours.— The body was in this state when examined:— Underneath the Scalp, at- the top and at the right side of the head, there were two patches of blood effused, the larger about the size of half- a- crown, but no distinct mark of injury externally: that part of: the scalp was much loaded with blood ; 110 other marks of vio- leuee about the head.

If you appoint your Coroner at Bridgnorth ( which has alreadv got one for the Liberties), it will be at. tended'with a great and serious Expense to tho County, as I find that, out of the whole Seventy- five- Inquests that have been held by Mr. WHITCOMBR during his Corouership, only Seven have been held on the other Side of Bridgnorth, and which were in the Parishes of Radge, Claverley, and Morville. It will be needless to point out the Impropriety of appointing the. Coroner'at Sbiffbal, as Mr.' DICKEN has given Notice to the Magistrates that he intends r^ ipoving his Residence to the Neighbour- hood of Wellington. Then there would be two Coroners within 8 Miles of each other, and the. Hundreds of Stotesdon, Overs, and Mnnslow, must apply to Mr. WOLLASTON, of Bishop's Castle, which is ' 27 Miles from this'Place.

IN projecting this NEW QUARTERLY REVIEW, the Conductors conceive that they are about to take Possession of Ground entirely unoccupied by'any prior Publication. The other Critical Works of the same Kind are the powerful and efficient Advocates of their respective Parties, but it is the firm and decided Determination of tbe Editors of the WESTMINSTER REVIEW, to take Part with no Faction, to . support no Body of Men, and. to perform the Duties of the Office, which they have undertaken, and in which they are not, untried, as uninfluenced by Personal Enmity as by Personal Friendship. In this Publication they have organized a.' Critical and Political'Review, whose Decisions shall be formed on the Basis of general Principles alone, and which, even should their T. one ever rise to Severity, will never be polluted by the Virulence of Party Spirit. The Editors have.. great Satisfaction iu, stating, that thev are tbe Organs of . an able and active Society of Individuals, who having seen with Regret and sinnewhat of Indignation., that tiie Name of Criticism has, been usurped with sinister Views, and that . tiie Interests of Literature and of a wise Policy, and through, theui, those of- the Public, have been sacrificed for selfish and unworthy Purposes, are resolved tQ establish a Tribunal, where a fairer and mote, unbiassed Hearing may lie. obtained, They are far frouj. denying tbe Utility of the Works' of this Nature which already exist; ou the con- trary, they are wi I ling to confess that they . have produced much good, and that tiiey still represent with Zeal and Ability, ther Parties they, espouse. But the Editors of the* Westminster Review are of Opinion, that between their narrow and conflicting Systems^ there is one great Class* of Interests too often lost Sight of ; these are the Interests ', of the Community at large. It is their Ambition to make this Review the Representative- of the true Interests of the Majority, and the firm and invariable Ad- IIEUR, tavoctfte of those Principles which tend to increase , with sub- the Happiness, and ameliorate the Condition pf ^ KhS ™ ' I Mankind, " , T ....

However, if tbe. Comuii'ttee of the Lon- don Missionary Society- have thought proper to make no public appeal in his behalf, it is trusted that they have been so far impressed with th danger, of his situatiou as to have conjinuuicatei with the Colonial Board respecting him ; if that be the cttse, there is no need to fear,'' while ( under oui pr^ seivt hierciful Sovereign, whom God- long- pre. such men as Lords Liverpool j Harrow by. B- tit^ itst,'. and Bex ley, have the/ guidance of our as these South American gentleiueu hay^ so often eharged Mr. Smith with being an instigator of this widely- spread conspiracy; how comes it to pass, that they have not obliged us by furnishing the public. with somewhat of the evi dence to be adduced against him ? for as yet nothin has been charged but his having preached to the negr. oes from certain verses of the 149th - Psalm; Your Correspondent remembers to have read somewhere that the amiable artd inodejisive Dr. Watts was charged with sedition arid disloyalty, for having written his Paraphrase upott that Psalm ; and so- witli equal justice may every O^ rgynian be ' likewise charged whenever that portioa of Holy Writ and of the Liturgy is read by him.

Surely no one sustaining the character of a man can read, the heart- sickening paragraph conveying the hist- meutioned. intelligence, without feelings of the utmost abhorrence and disgust.; Are their masters'so-' 1- 0^ t- to all sense of feeling ' as to suppose that parental and filial affection, which so strongly exists in the brijte,; is obliterated from the breast of the poor and oppressed. Africans. Do they really iniagine that the mind or the unhappy wretch, while giving his evidence, will not again and again recur with bitter pangs at the melancholy fate of his father ; and that he does hot deeply regret! the unsuccessful issue of their endeavours to extricate themselves fromt- e cruel thraldom ? For be it, remembered, that although Mr. Smith cannot be ' justified for having- excited the negroes to effect their deliverance, if such. be the fact, which . is yet to be |\ i; oved, and very much to be doubted, the Cjjse is vastly » di tie rent as betweep the- negroes and their inasters, the former possessing an ' undoJi. bted right to gain their eniahcipation by any and eyery'means.

English nation at large, to whose noble exertions at> the, glorious Revolution, and former periods, vve. of the, present day are indebted, under God, for the ipyaiua' le Constitution we now enjoy Considering ther hands into which Mr.' Smith has fallen, it. is by no means likely that any thing like truth will he elicited from his trials- still less,' that justice- may be expected troin his: accusers.

Soon after this bold attempt, a number of cast- iron Bridges were erected in Various parts of the United Kingdom, the most considerable of which was that upon the river Weir at- S^ NDER- I- AND, which measures 236 feet in •, the span ; and more latel y we have the Bridge of SOUTH WAR k , over the Thames, the design of Mr. Rennie, the middle arch, of which is no less than 240 feet in the span. '-....'", 1 The earliest BRIDGES OF SUSPENSION, of which we have an account, are those of China, said to be of great- extent;- Major Rennell also describes a Bridge of this kind Over the Sainpoo, in I. Iindostan, of about 600 feet in length. But the ftjs, t: Chain- Bridge in our own country is believed to have been that of WINCH BRIDGE, over the river Tees, form- ing a communication between the, counties of Durhani and York. This Bridge is noticed, and an elevation' of. it given, iu the Third Volume of Llutcljinson's ^ Antiquities of Durham," J printed lit Carlisle hi' 1794; > l% e following account is given - by him at page 279 : —, ; The environs of the rive. r ( Tees) abound with ' the most picturesque and roinantic- scenes ; beauti- ful falls of wdter ; rocks and g- rotesque caverns. iAbout two iiiiles above Middleton, where the river falls in repeated Cascades, a Bridge, suspended on iron chains, is stretched from rock to rock, over a Chasm near 60 feet deep, for the passage; of travel- lers, but particularly. of miners ; the Bridge is ^ 70 feet in length, and little more than two feet broad, with a hand- rail on one side, and plankedin such a manner that the traveller experiences all the; tre- mulous motjoii of the chain, and sees, hihiseif sus- pended over a roaring g* ulph, on an agisted and restless gangway, to which few strangers' dare trust th- einsel yes.' V - ; ,. T- - v. v"^ We regret that we have not been able to learn the precise date of the erection of this Bridge, but, from good authority, we have ascertained that it was erected about the year 1741. It appears, from a treatise von Bridges by Mr. Thomas Pope, architect, of New York, published in that city in the year 1811, that eight Chain- Bridges have been erected upon the • catenarian principle iu different parts of - America*^ It here . deserves our particular notice, however,- in any claim for priority of invention, with our trans- atlantic friends, that' the IChain- Bridge over the Tees was known in America, as Pope quotes Hutchinson's yel, 111. and gives a description of Winch Bri. dgei It further appears from this work, that a'patent waS'granled by the American Govern- meat, tor the erection of Bridges'of Suspension, in " the year 1808'. Our American author alsodescribes a Bridge of this construction, which seems to. have been erected about the year 5809, Hiver the Merri- mack, in the State of Massachusets, consisting of a catenarian. arch of 244 feet span. The roadTway of this Bridg- e is suspended between two abutments or t< » v\ ers'of masonry, 37 feet in height, on which piers of carpentry > are erected, vvhich ai'e 35 feet in height. Over these ten. chains al e suspended, each measuring 516 feet in length, their ends being sunk into deep pits in both sides of the river, where they are secured, by large stones. The Bridge over the Merrimack has- two carriage- ways, each of fifteen feet ih breadth.; It is '. also described as having three chains, which range'aioug the sides^ and fou jn the middle, or between the two roadways., The whole expense of this American work is estimated' to have been .20,000 dollars, and the Bridge'cal culated to support or carry about 500 tons The STRAITS OF MENAI, which separate th Isl. aud of Anglesea from Cai'iiarvonsliire, hav l'oiig- foi4nied a troubIesouie obstructM> a ijpon th Great Road from London to Dublin by Holyhead, and it has been determined to erect a Bridge there by which the troublesome ferry of Bangor might be avoided.; Many plans5 for tiie execution of this undertaking [ lave beeii - agitated, chieiiy in cast- ; iron, including, a range of estimate from about £ 12^, 000 to ^ 6^, 000; but that which is now acted upon, is a Bridge of Suspension upon the catenarian principle, the extent. of vvjiiefl, bet\ yeeii : the piers or'points of suspension, is to be £> 60 feet,,' ; the - estimate for which is only about £ 70,001). • This, by many, has been, considered a w, 0rk of great uncertainty ; but the Union Bridge, On this plan, has already been executed on the Tweed, to the extent of 361 feetj as will be. shortly noticed, Mr. Richard Lees, an extensrve, woollen- cloth manufacturer at GALASHIELS, in Scotland, whose works are situated on both sides ; of Gala- Water, conceived tlie idea of forming a foot- bridge of slender iron- wires, for the Cohv'eniency of com- municating readily with tlve different parts of his works. ^ Iiis gdngway' dr bridge, Jjvvak..' erected in the inonty of November, 1816 ; ' its extent is 111 feet, an'f jt post dhoiit. £ 40. Though only of a very temporary, and even imperfect construction, yet being- the first wire- bridg- e erected in Great Bri- tiiin, it. deserves our particular' notice, as" affording an useful practical' example of the tenacity of iron so applied ,. arid of its ht il ity in many situations, and paivti(? p) a'rlly in. an inland c( aintry such as the . Vale > f the Tweed , where the c'arriageof bul ky materials, of every description, is extremely expensive. In the fiist'erected Bridge at DRYBURGH. ABBEY, the suspending rods were made . to radiate from their points of Suspension on either side, towards the centre of the road- way, for as yet the'Cateiiarian principle had not been introduced upon the Tweed. The Bridge at Dry burgh, is 260 feet ih . extent between the points of suspension, aiid is four feet in breadth"' It was executed by Messrs. John and Wil. Liam Smith, builders and, architects, neqj* iVIelrose, at the expenseof- the-' Earl of Buc. han, as proprietor of the ferry, and has altogether cosrhis Lordsiiip abouj: £ 720. This Bridge is constructed for foot passagers and LED HORSES. It was origiu- iljy" beg'hn ojv tlie 13th of April, 1817, aud " was > pened to, the public on the 1st day of August r'ollowiiig, liaving. required little rfiorfe" fehdn." four vnoiiflis for its erection, " . An occurrence took place, during the erection of Dry burgh. Bridge, which deseryes to be particularly noticed. It was observed, that the. catenarian curve was not the same when the math- chains were simply suspended with their own vveig'ht, as when they came to b. e loaded with the road- wayV At the extremity of the chains on ^ ach side,.; arid iii the centre of the bridge, the points- of attaclihieiit remained stationary after the catenarian chains were loaded,, hut between the centre and either abutment^ the road . way Vnadetwo distinct'curves, the. versed k. nie of wiiich - nieasiij- ed a hoot seven inches. This defect' was easHy rectified by shdit- etyhg the suspending- chains • but. it serves to shew the liabii'ty of the catenarian, cin- ye to, alter,-' vvhen loaded in tiie direction of the1 horizontal yplane of the' connecting road- way.

KING'S' MEADOW WIRE- BRIDGE, on the estate of Sir ' JohniHay, Hart, is thrown across the Tweed, a little below Peebles, it is 110 feet in length, a'nd four feet in breadth. This work was contracted for and executed by Messrs. Redpath aud" Brown of Edinburgh, in the summer of 18V7, aud cost, about £ i60. It iri'iy be described , as coiisistiir tw^) hollow tubes of cast- iron, whicb are erected on the opposite sides of the rive r, v- set four feet. a part., into each of which a eof responding bar/ of malleable iron is fitted] and to these the suspending wires and bolts' a « ; e. respectively attached b'^ screw bolts. The lower ends of the hollovv tubes forming* the pier § are secured by a b. ander or grating of timber, laid under ground. The ' malleable iron bars, which hre inserted into these ' hallow tubes, form the points of suspension, measure ten feet iu • height, and are two and a hal'f inches square. The road- way is formed with frames. of malleable iron, to which deal boards, measuring six inches bread th, and one and a half inch in thickness, fixed- with screw- bolts.

Napier, over the Etteriek, at Thrilstahev Castle^ A foot- bridge of rope- work had originally been throvyu across here; but a Wire- Bridge is now erected, and measures about 125 feet span. The UNIQN CHAIK- BRIOGE runs across the river Tweed- at Norham Ford, about five miles from Berwick. The work here was begun in the mopth of August, 1811), and the Bridge was opened on the 26th July, I82i » i havwig required only a period of about 12 months for. its erection ; while a stone bridge must, have been the work of' about three yeans. This work was designed and executed by Capt. Sa, uiuel Brown, of the Hoyal Navy, who has so successfully ilitroduced the. use of the chain- cabie into the navy and mercantile marine. The road- way of this bold design is. made of timber, on which iron cart tracks are laid for the carriage- wheels; It is 18 feet'iu widthj aud is no less than 361 feet in lengtl "" vl_ The main beams or jois'iiag ineasures 15 inches in depth and 7 inches iu thickness.

Jt i^ al'Sp made. to rise about two feet in the centre and is finished on each side with a cornice of 15 inches in depth, which adds to its ornament, and gives it an additional appearance of strength. The road- way is suspended from the catenarian or inaiu- Cbains by circular rods of iroii., which measure one : nch in diameter. To what extent hi s mode of .

When, the Marquis of Worcester first proposed by the boilm^ of water, - to produce an effective, force no one could have conceived the incalculable advantages vhicli have sinue followed its improvement, by our lluslt'ioos countryman, tbe late James Watt. Every one must alstrsee" the e fleet iirogressively. produced on'the publio opini. on by the several propositions brought forward-, and the Bridges already executed upon the catenarian principle. When, for example we pass front the slender Wire Bridges on the GalaJ the Etteriek, anil the Tweed, ilnd consider the advancement of Ch aim Bridges from the Tees in 1741, to the Tweed iu 18211, we look with confident expectation to the execution of, the Bridge over. the Menai Strait, both from tire well- founded deduc- tions of theory aud practice. The theorems on this subject, from the pen of r. Davies Gilbert ( published iu the London Quarterly' Journal of Science, vol. X, p. 23d), are equally satisfactory as they are elegantand,. simple ; and although we may iiot. be prepared; iu practice, to go the li. gths vyliich theory would lead us, vet, we have no hesitation in stating it ns our opinion, that the practical exten't to. which Bridges of Sus- pension may be carried on the catenarian principle, is hy no means exhausted.

Anthony Collins.— This - was an appeal against ihe accounts of Ihe irtt- rsvers of a parish in Suffolk. The ease staled lhat the parishioners were'charged wiih various sutiis paid to labourers who were able and willing lo Work, but who rould not earn sufficient to support themselves and their families, and who were relieved in proportion lo the smalluess of their earnings, aud the number of their children. No work was provided for them by ihC parish officers; and tutinetinies no less a sum than 7s. or 8s. a' week was allowed an iudi- idoal faiiiilv. Mr. Cooper, on behalf of the officers, said that he supposed three questions were to he raised on the argument-- first, whether able- bodied men are entitled to relief at all J- second, whether, supposing them to he entitled to relief, tiie overseers are not bound fii- Kt to find them work : and third, whether parish officers uri justified in giving relief without order of Magistrates? The first qiiVstiou depended oh'the construction of thfc word " impotent," in the statute of Elizabeth— a word which could not fairly he considered as applying only to physical inability, but to every species of inability to obtain subsistence arising from whatever cause. It tyas as necessary that a man who was starving for Want of work, should he assisted by his1' fellows, as flint a man who wasincapaeitated froai performing work should be so assisted, lie then proceeded to argue that the overseers were not bound to relieve the able- bodied poor by finding work for them, but niight afford relief at once iu money. The words of the Act clearly empowered overseers to dispense relief without the sanction of a Magistrate's oroer, and lllat a contrary interpretation " would lead to the most disastrous conclusions.— Mr. Andrews followed on the same side, and observed, that the question was really one of frightful interest ; for if the Court should hold that the overseers' were bound to set the poor to WOrk before they relieved them, all who now were assisted by parochial charity, must desert the - employments in which . thCy we're" at present engaged, to entitle them in future to recei ve it. Mr. Scarlett, on the other side, said that some perfous obtained. a holluw popularity by assertino- the right of the poor;; under all circiinistatices, to compiiIsor'y assistance froni the riCh•'• but he wouId, at all tiihes, and in all places, assert that there was nothing mor£ prejudicial to their true interests, than the attempt to:' separate labour and profit, which were connected; in nature. What'could be more ibsui- d in principle, nVore degrading in practice, than the system which was novV. s'o common of ' paving to tlie labourer lower wag-^ s than he was justly entitled to receive, as the price' of his industry,' and giving him the'difference in the form ) f f)> qr rates? It was said'a firmer could not afford to lay out £ 40 in labour : then surely he could not better afford to give £ 40 in poor rates* and it must, be niore for his benefit to pay men who did' somethings. than ineii who did nothing. He shpuld Contend that, under the statute of Elizabeth no overseer was, empowered to afford an able- bodied man relief in more;/, bht couid oiily relieve him legally by pi- ovidihg work. ' The' learned . Counsel was proceeding' to argue this point, when the Lord Chief Justice postponed the remainder of the argument to. Saturday- when Mr. Scarlett took; a view of the statutes which had passed subse- quently to the Act of Elizabeth, and contended they ail shewed the design of the Leg- islature to be that ihe only relief to be dispensed to the poor who are able to work should be by the provision of labour. - Mr. Eagle followed on the same side. Mi*. Cooper, iii reply, observed that the case did not stale that the overseers had not attempted to obtain wo'rk for the paupers previously to affording theui relief;, and'thaf. if any doubt existed as to the fact, the case should be sent back to ihe Sessions. Jft could not be insisted that the overseers were bound to find productive labour. Oil this suggestion the Court acted ; and accord- ingly ordered the case to go back again to the Session's; in order for the Justices to inform the Court what endeavours they had made to obtain work- for the poor, either in or out of the parish • observing, u it is the imperative duty of overseers and Churchwardens to use all their endeavours to procure employment for the poor ; and this, princi- pally, for the sake of the poor themselves, to whom it is of the highest importance that they should are ! receive money for labour, and not for idleness."

As you are at present free from Parliamentary re- ports, yon may possibly find room to communicate to thfe public, a fact in farming, the result of at least twenty, successive years' experience, which may in some degree tend to remove or lessen a troublesome custom ( it'nut prejudice) of long standing. I mean the brining and liming of seed wheat, and all the steeps and quackeries so strongly recommended as antidotes to, saint. I ought to premise that for more than 15 years 1 have never sown so little as 100 acres of wheat, on every sort of preparation ; and from ihe beginning of October to the first week in December; that my crops, are generally as good as my neigh- bours', and as free from smut, though, I have never iu any, one season, limed, or brined, or doctored a single handful of seed. 1 do not mean to say, that if people are careless iu the selection and change of their seed wheat, that liming aud brining is not in some degree a preventative, but I do assert that with proper caution such a practice is not required. I buy seed from a distant and different sort of soil every three years; iny farm embraces heavy and lighter land. What grows on the thinner and drier ground I sow on the heavier aud the wetter, so vice versa ; aud for three crops I deem no further change necessary ; for I have invariably for a long: series of years grown 11s good ones as any of my neighbours, and full as clear of smut, as those w. fyo have taken less care in the selection nf their seed, and ten times more troubled in pickling and preparing it. I also assert, from long experience, that the rotations of tbe wheat crop may b^ much, nearer together than has been long aud generally thought and practised,' without any deterioration of the staple, or diminution of. the produce. As far as I can find dung, I have" three successive crops; wheat " after fallow, beans dunged for and thoroughly lined, aud wheat after them; dunging again for beans, and so on ad infinitum. Beginning always with a thorough good' and clean fallow, I. sow winter and spring vetches, folded and . fed off" with sheep time enough for the wheat crop. The third crop is vetches again, aiid agaiii fed oft' by sheep; and by, this means 1 reap. almost, as good, crops from my sheep dunging, on . the parts of iny'farm distant from the ho; n » eslall, 11s fro> n my farm- yard and purchased manure. 1 can assure you lhat my land has been treated this ay forbear,*; and this rotation has not lessened hy its practice, either ibe weight, the quantity, or tije quality of the grain. I do not iayl do not some times, according to circuu'istances, deviate to clover, and turnips; but never to'any considerable extent. Arid I again repeat, if you begin with a thorough winter and summer cleansing fallow upon a lolerably fairaiid dryish loam, this course m; i-/ be pursued and carried 011 with much greater nion'ey returns, than iu Eati) Stmiligsmct. The- Lord " Chancellor,. and the Court of Chancery. The following- Article* is extracted wholly, from the last number of that able Work u The British Critic."-—. it comprises, statements which may be valuable to the Public. We, hope that Lord Chancellor El'don has spent a pleasant long;. vacation, and is about to return with increased energy to his important duties. Hecannot have failed to enjoy many a hearty laugh at the stupidity and virulence with which the radical press have assailed him during the summer recess. We say nothing of the. Parliamentary debates respecting his court aud his conduct. The speeches of Messrs. Brougham, Deniuan, and Williams, were all in the. way of business; and the second of these gentlemen bad the candour to inform the House that his two learned friends and coadjutors had personal motives fpr { rijndeinuin « £ the Chancellor, and that he himself had narrowly escaped- being in a similar predica- ment. To such a declaration nothing could be added. It furnished a clue to the whole debate: it told us why Lord Eidon was assails*! in . the Com- mons, where he could not be present*. rather than* in., the Lords, where he might have answered; fdr him- self. It told us why his accusers were men who practised in other courts, and had only, hearsay Hcquaiutanoe with, Equiry. It tuld us why charges, which Rom illy never ventured to prefer, were, urged with becoming impartiality, temper, and weight,, by the gentlemen above named. It may be said, in their defence, that they followed Sir'Samuel's example. That great. Chancery lawyer,' who was employed in, every suHv and actually re- tarded the business of the nation by being engaged to plead in three courts at a time, vv. as indefatigable in his endea. vouis to improve the criminal code. The opposition lawyers of the present day happen to have some slight experience iu that brai>, ch of their profession, audi in a genuine spirit of contradiction, confine their Parliamentary exertions to a reform in Chancery As. one of the numerous freaks of sc. natorial caprice, this may be all very well : hut moderate men will suspend their; judgment upon such grave accusations, until they hear them proved by the evidence of men who have no political end to serve, no personal pique to indulge, no mortified vanity to gra, tifv,, no i- ujurv,. real or imaginary, to revenge. When such persons sjva. Il institute an inquiry into any. of our* courts, of justice, proving themselves acquainted with the real state of the case and bringing forward a tangible and serious griev- ance, they will be listened to, arretis- aurilnin, from one end of the kingdom to the other.,— But we fear that Lord Eldoii is not likely to meet with sp. tUuc. li fair play ; and we fear it, not ou his account, but for the credit of the profession, and the Parliament. A glimpse at the radical newspapers, for the last three mouths, will shew that there is a regular design of upsetting the Chancellor; and we kno. v the writers too well to believe that they are not encouraged in more respectable quarters. They have ceased to abuse the King ; they have meddled more sparingly, than is their wont, with the Bishops and Clergy, and discharge all their venom,, lies, and nonsense against a single head. This is preparatory to some ulterior proceeding. The Times and Chronicle are mere inoney- ninkiug under- conjurers arid puppets; but whether it is Joseph Hume who pulls the string, or whether it, is Mr. Williams who, is chalking out a short cut to ihe Temple of Fame* time will shew, We observe, that the health of the hrst- inenti( xn. ecl gentleman was drank at the Cheshire Whig Club, in • onnection with a reform in Chancery ; and that the compliment vyus acknowledged in a suitable speech. In the course of the evening, the company w- er* treated with a repetition of Mr. Brougham's asser- tion respecting the prenviersibip of Lord El don; but there was this amusing difference, that while Mr. Brougham was notoriously in jestj and made some facetious remarks at the expense of the Chancellor and" Ids colleagues, Mr. Williams and tl » e Cheshire Whig$ were iu downright sober earnest. Th'ey laid violent hands upon' the fag end of one of" Mr. Brougham's second- rate jokes, and converted it into very mirthful tragedy. Lord Eldon was treated as bona jtde Prime Minister, and the company had the rare good fortune to prove their honesty aud wisdom at the same moment. Their honesty, by admitting that the proposed reform in Chancery wag neither more nor less than an attack upon a political enemy ; their wisdom, by fastening upon a piece of transient drollery, and believing that it was an historical fact — It is impossible to speak too harshly of this odious party- feeling. Men who cannot distinguish betweei} the Cabinet Minister and the Chancery Judge, are not qualified to talk polities even at a country club. We quarrel with 110 man because he is iu opposition; generally speaking, such a person is playing the part for which nature designed him, and would be infinitely more mischievous if be changed his side. . Let. him persevere, therefore, in admiring his political friends, and vilifying' his political ene- mies; but he forfeits every pretension to candour and judgment, by pursuing his foes into private or professional life, and impeaching a Magistrate be- cause he happens to he a Tory. This conduct only " tends to defeat its owri object. Nobody will listen to such prejudiced accusers as those who lead the forlorn hope in the storm of Fort Eldoij. Jf there bad been any part of that nobleman's conduct which stood in need of concealment or pardon, he would have found hi? best screen in the bigoted injustice of his enemies. There is one charge against him which, we believe, snay be substantiated, that of being too slow in pro- nouncing his decisions. To this offence he has often pleaded guilty, and we presume not to appeal from his authority. The effects of this failing are sorely aggravated oy the forms of the Court over which he razors, are only made, to sell, are the books which. the J .

The common can lion ( if " hold up pour cards!" sounds exactly similar, in my ears, to " take care of your watches, Gentlemen.'" It might, perhaps, be supposed that this sordid feeling is confined to the old and avaricious. Alas! . I sincerely wish it was so. But It is too evident that it pervades the minds of the young and beautiful. Af, the round game, '" petty larceny'* is committed with the most unblushing effrontery ; find " sleight of hand" is practised with a dexterity truly admirable.

Qourt pf Chan- cery, he would not thinly he ha;! r<; d, need the problem ab absurdum? No man who ever put a forensic habit on his back would think of. advising a suit in equity to recover £ 50, or £. 80, or £ 100. Could there, then, be a greater libel on the law of a country, than to say that a man. must he kept out of his right, because, if he sought it, thg costs of the Court of Chancery must be his inevitable ruin ?'•— This inter- rogative reasoning is founded on imaginary premises, which, do not exist. 1 know not from what source Mr Brougham acq^ tired the knowledge on, which he founded his argument, but I do not suppose he got it from Sir Samuel Romilly, though I find he has Pit several occasions ( when speaking*, pf the Court of Chancery) appealed for assistance to the shade of that gentleman, and 1 sometimes he talks as if Duke Humphrey's ghost were by his side,'— Now, notwithstanding Mr. Brougham's positive assertion to the contrary, I am of opinion that no well- informed lawyer, who bits a practical !, u^ owle'lge" of Chancery suits, would hesi. ite to advise a suitor to fiie a bill ta enforce a claim, pretty clear iu its nature, altho' it should be for so small a sum as £ 50, or £ 80, or £ 100; and if the defendant was not insolvent, the plaintiff might expect to put a much greater portion of his demand into bis pocket, on the p| ose of his suit, th, an" he would get bv trying t^ ii. action at coin- tnon law for the sah.^ e snn,\ dependi. tvg oo ct> r^ ra- dictorv testimony, eveu though Mr. B. roughain were his adviser from the issuing of the w\ it to the signing ofthe final judgment. 1 know an auonymous indi- vidual's opinion may be despised; but, that its worth may he properly e. stiuiated, it may be vvelj to state one or two authorities on which it founded, because no man can deny that suits often occur, in a Court of Equity, with various knotty points to bp decided, which, from first to last, do not cost so UlUoh as one hundred pounds on both side?. But to the proof: the cases of Dis; on v. l) ixon { Jennings>) y and Wright t;. Livesey { Lloyd), Ex- parte Jones { CoxJ, are proofs of the truth of my assertion.— In tbe first case the l| ill was filed for a specific perfqrm ance of a purchase of lands in Staffordshire ; the title was disputed ; the defendants apjieared by different solicitors, the caiit- e was? heard, and referred to Master Cox; an abstract was left and proceedings on the title taken in thf piaster's office ; different solicitors * yere employed; a report was obtained? and objections to th, e report taken; the cause was again beard a second time on furthpr directions* and the costs pf the suit on both sides, as between attorney and client, were not £ 110. This suit lav dormant for several months, owing to circumstarjices over which neither the Court nor its practice had any controul, and yet the suit was commenced and ter- minated in less than twelve months. " in the case of Wright n. Liyesey, a question arose, as to the eonstrnctioiji of a will; there were different defendants, appijai'ing by three different solicitors, setting up claims adverse to the plaintiff, and counsel were employed in three different in- terests for the different suitors, some of whom were infants, and the sum total of costs on ail sides, as between attorney and client, was uot more than £ 70. This case was commenced and terminated in Jess than six months.— In the c^ se Ex- parte Jop. es, the father of several children who were entitled to consi- derable property on eopting of age, wished to have the interest of part pf it to educate thein during thfir minority, and for this purpose he applied to the charge of his duty as Judg- e, in deciding upon cages ' so, fu; Uv of difficulties as bankruptcy cases , som- ptinies are, lie may not decide Wroiig ; but it ( is my opinion that ^ veii at the risk of deciding wrongly, hje ought to decide on the qiii^ stion before him, ratlier. than send it dovvn to another Court which was never intended to have any jurisdiction at all o. yer such matters."

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 21— J. Kington, formerly a farmer at Stone Leigh, War- wickshire, came up for final hearing. He had been Churchwarden from 1818 to 1822, inclusive, and becoming embarrassed, was sued by the parish for £ 231. Ss. lid. to, which amount he was a defaulter.

A gentleman of Norfolk, whose connections are as extensive as most persons engaged in the trade, has favoured us with the inspection of a series of original documents, relati ve to the crop of this year, which are of the utmost moment, since they convey the certainty tha$ the harvest was greatly deficient both in quantity and quality. This corre- spondence embraces Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and the Northern and Western conpties, and the accounts confirm each other in the statement, that the crop is nowhere less deficient than one- fifth, and in ri'iost one. third, as compare^ with last year.

At the end of fourteen days a new queen issued forth from one of the cells, and with'an instinct equalling Turkish wisdom and policy, pro- ceeded immediately to tear open the other royal cells, no doubt with the determination of destroying what was likely lo produce a rival to her power The working bees rebelled against this unconsti- tutional exercise of authority, and hauled liei; Ma jesty away from her job. They succeeded in protecting Ihe junior branches of the royal family, and were soon after cewarded for their loyalty by the birth of a princess, iint it was of. no avail for the Czarina, who had, as it should seem, preferable claim, in virtue of the priority of her birth, killed her fair and unfortunate rival. Mr. r Dunbar, iu corroboration ot, tlie above fact of the • formation of anartifipial qneenj narrates an instance of its having been done by an artificial swarm also. A number of, bees ( not an '. nicumninn circumstance) depended, in a large cluster, Giiiij. the door of the i hive; he suddenly removed the'hivc front their ' sight, and placed another in its room, containing empty cells, having previously taken the precau- tion of putting into it about three inches square of fresh lmney- comb containing larvae and honey, and the astonishment of tbe bees' was very great when they entered the new hive, and mi9sed their rich stores and their beloved monarch, the fair and [ stately queen ; they bustled about in every direc tion, but the next day, finding that the royal family had removed, and had taken away the treasury, they began to lay the foundation of royal cells, and in the course of time made to themselves a new queen. Mr. Dunbar has repeated this latter experiment with great success.— A most beautiful and singular experiment was then shewn to the society. A small lump of platinum, which bad heen granulated by having been dissolved, preci- pitated, roasted, and triturated, was placed on the : table: a bladder of hydrogen gas, to which was fixed a glass pipe with a very minute aperture, something like a blow- pipe, was produced. Oil applying the pipe ill such a situation as, when the bladder should be pressed, a stream of the gas would be directed on the platinum, a brilliant and instant flame arose, which continued so long as the stream of gas was supplied. This appears to us to be the most simple, the most beautiful, and the most elegant ( providing another receiver for the gas, in lieu of the bladder) mode of obtaining a sudden light hitherto invented. It may be so arranged, that upon pulling a string a light will instantly follow, which will be extinguished as soon as the string is relinquished. The advantage of such a light for a chamber, at night, is obvious, and we cannot doubt but that something of this kind will be very soon adopted. The purposes lo which such a means of obtaining instantaneous light may he applied are innumerable. It is a little r'emarkable that the lightest and heaviest substances known should be brought together in this experiment.— Edinburgh Literary Gazette On Thursday evening, Mr. Breham lectured oil Dentition in Mr. Stewart's, in William- street, Belfast. In explaining his subject, he dissected a part of the head of a calf, in which he exhibited a second row of teeth, situated below the visible ones, and in progress obtruding thein from their positions and occupying their places. Some of these were perfectly formed ; others in a less per feet condition, with tile enamel in a kind of pulpy state., The teeth, he said, were similarly circum- stanced in children. Hence he urged, that It was extremely injudicious to lance the gums in denti- tion, so as to touch the imperfect enamel, and thus produce most exquisite pain to the little sufferers. Diseased teeth, he said, were often the causes of convulsions, head- ache, disorders iu the eyes, and sometimes of consumptive affections. The Tzacua of Mexico is remarkable for its instinct. Birds of this, kind live in society, every free being a village or city to them, having great numbers of nests in the neighbourhood of each other, all hanging from the boughs. One of them, whose office it is to be the head or guard of the village, resides in the middle of the tree, from which it flies about from one nest to auother visiting Ihem all, and after singing a little, returns to its place, while the rest continue perfectly silent If any bird of a different: species approaches the tree, he flies to it, and with his bill and wings endeavours to drive it off; but if a man or any large animal comes near, he flies screaming to another tree; and if at that time any of his fellows happen to he returning to their nests, he meets them, and changing bis note obliges them to retire again; as soon as he perceives the danger over, he returns to his wonted round of visiting the qests. The commerce between Great Britain and the Sleuth American Stales has rapidly increased since 35117. In the year ending jatri 5, 1817, the value of British goods exported to Buenos Ayr. es was £ 388,417,; in the year ending Jan. 5, 1S2' 3, their value was £ 1,161, The value of exports to Valparaiso in the year ending Jail 5, 1818, was £ 32,797; while in the year ending Jan. 5, 1823, their amount was £ 462,848. * Commerce the Source of Civilization ' and. Strength. It has often been remarked hy tbe hjstorian, that the tranquillity and prosperity of tia'- ions afford few incidents - which interest in the narration. It is war — spreading ruin and misery wheresoever it moves— that agitates the minds and rivets the attention. Commerce only blesses mankind with real and permanent enjoyment, and is scarceiy honoured w ith the notice of history. Tli'e various impressions made by surrounding barbarians on the corrupted mass of the Roman empire are accurately recorded, and pompously arranged, yet what are all the expeditions of the Aiarics, Attilas, and Alboins, to the silent progress Of solitary ships., successfully tracing markets'for the exchange of goods, which had pre- viously been unknown .? The Romans bad succeeded in extinguishing all combined energy, all commercial enterprise, in eyery province which they conquered; and plundered. Before they had acquired universal doininion? ( he Mediterranean, from'' the PiJIars of Hercules to the mouths of the Nile, was the scene of much commerce, arid tlie channel of wealth to many distinguished states. ( A^ t both extremes of the Pyrenees navigation and trade were cultivated. The' Greek colony at Marseilles Was the example apd envy of the ( JauJs. The V^ ene'ti, in the bay'of Biscay, re- ceived, tribute of. all who sailed by their coasts. But, with the con quest of C^ sar, the commercial prosperity of Qaul, ceased. * The rapidity of Ro. Jtari degeneracy could never be exhibited by a people possessing the solid opulence and faithful services which the in-' dustrious habits and steady abundance o'f. cdmmerce insure. " Their fall was " accomplished without a, struggle, and by hordes of undisciplined barbarians. Yet, at the'very moment wlien this savage work of. retribution desolated Europe, a city' was founded, and a state consolidated^ which far surpassed all contemporary states in wealth, power, aiid mag- : nifi. eelice. f " ' About the middle of. the fifth century, Attila led his Huns, into Italy, v Qud took1 many'of its most popu- lous towns, particularly along the shores of the Adriatic. Many of the inhabitants took shelter in the 72 islands which form the foundation of Venice. The Venetians on the coast had previously been ac- quainted with naval affairs, for they had been originally a colony of the Gallic Veneli { VermesJ; but the treasures of the refugees in th'e Inlands, and the total inadequacy of the produce' of their own soil to their consumption,' gave a new ami permanent impulse to cominiercia. I speculations. For a thousand years this interesting state advanced in civiiizatioh and power. From the middle of the fifth to the middle of the fifteenth century, Venice was the only spot, not only in Europe, but in the world, on which the mind could repose with complacency and satisfac- tion. She was the pillar of fire during that dr'e& dAil night of desolation which threatened the aunihil^ tiP'n of truth, reason, and thought. During that t> eri, b'd, when war was but tlre tugging and tearing of " Wild beasts, and religion was'but a cloak for every artifice of oppression or covetousness, when civilization was not, and even sanity threatened to abandon man, the Venetians founded a splendid city upon the waves, gradually extended their colonies and trade 011 both coastsof the Adriatic, established their influence and commerce in the isles of the Egean, and at length extended their connexion to the Eastern and African shores of the Mediterranean. Their ships conveyed to Europe the produce of Arabia and India. Manu- factures, too, they invented or improved, and sup- plied silks and glass from their own warehouses. A faithful unambitious history of this republic is a desideratum. Gibbon has given rather an elaborate than a luminous history of the devastations in which the nations were in those ages occupied, but he baa nly occasionally and slightly glanced at Venice. In Venice too, commerce proved the nurse of iterature; The insolence of the Popes was curbed by independent merchants, and the frenzy of the Crusades was, by the policy of the republicans, converted into an instrument of civilization. Men of letters, liber- ality, and scientific pursuits, found an asylum in Venice ; and when Constantinople'fell, its librariea wiere easily and securely conveyed to the bosom of the mistress of the sea. Genoa^ Pisa, aud Florence, were but. late and inferior rivals of Venice, to whom is justly due the preservation of letters in the darkest ages; and their revival with auspieiims'and eternal energy. Not uncelebrated too is this great emporium by the grateful sons of song. Shakespeare has made Venice the scene of his masterpieces in tragedy and comedy ; Otway has illustrated its degenerate politics in his immortal scenes; there, too, Haynes has reaped his maiden laurels ; and there Byron committed self- immolation. Of ' Venice alone it can be said that she is innocent ofthe loss of her commerce. When the mariner's compass, and the discovery of new worlds, spread the sails of commerce " from Indus to the Pole," it became impossible that a creek of the Mediterranean should attract t he productions of America, India, and the ' innumerable isles of the ocean. She owes her fall to the progress of science and ingenuity. The Mediterranean, a secure basin, without tides or far expansion beyond the sight of shore, was eminently calculated for the infancy of navigation aud com- merce ; but commerce, matured aud armed, dis- dained the narrow limits, and fixed the everlasting seat of her empire in the Atlantic Ocean.
