THE CORDIAL BALM OF ZUBLA; OR, PHOENIX OF LIFE, And Grand Rcaniinator of Nature: Prepared and Sold, Wholesale and Retail, at Dr. LAMERT'S London Medical Establishmeut, Qneeii- square, Bristol. INTRODUCTION. DR. LAMERTyin recommending the celebrated Cordial Balm of Zura ; or, Phccnix of Life, to a discriminating Public, disdains the Idea of following tbe Steps of those Precursors, who, by a vain Display of a l ittle Learning, and a g reat deal of Ing- enuity, mislead the Public; a Truth too frequently exemplified by Pretenders to Science in the present Day. Actuated by a spirit of genuine Philanthropy, lie feels it his highest Gratification to announce, that in the Balm of Zura, or Phcenix of Life, he possesses the means of alleviating-, and by due Perseverance, of completely annihilating^ those insidious Disorders, which not only deprive Life of its every Enjoyment, but sap tbe very Foundation of our Existence, and involve the Patient in a Vortex of premature, hut unavoidable Destruction. Governed solely by such Motives, so humane, genuine, and disinterested. Dr. L. cannot but ensure the ^ Gratitude of the afflicted, the Approbation of the good, and the sincere Benediction of Mankind. On that Assurance he takes his stand, and invites the Suffering to come TTS VIRTUES. " Like one condemn'd to leap a precipice, M And sees before his eyes the depths below, u Stops short, and looks about for one kind shrub " To break his dreadful fall; so I look here 41 For friendly aid against the fears of death." The CORDIAL BALM OF ZURA, or Pheenix of Life, forms the most powerful, stimulating, and highly flavoured Medicine in the whole Materia Medica. It is prepared from an Asiatic Berry, strongly resemb- ling that of the English Whitethorn ; and was tbe Result of the Labours of tbe renowned Rembert Dodoeus, Physician to the Turkish Emperor and his Harem. In 1578, a most splendid Case of this in- valuable Cordial was sent by the Sultan to Queen Elizabeth, and was taken by her Majesty as a noble Renovator of the whole System. It has been found hv a. most extensive and respectable private Practice, to be the most efficacious Medicine extant, for strengthening the Nerves, removing all Obstructions in the Stomach and Lungs, cherishing the Heart, reviving the Spirits, strengthening the Memory, promoting Digestion, dispelling Flatulencies, dis- persing the Heartburn and Choleric Affections, pre vents Apoplexy, purifies the Blood, removes Scorbutic Eruptions as well as Scrofula, and is of the highesi Distinction in Gouty and Rheumatic Disorders. Ii vivifies the Spinal Marrow, and restores the Frame to Health and pristine Vigour. In the tremendous catalogue of Diseases i ncidenta I to Mankind, those. of the Nervous Description are the most complicate and difficult to cure. They resemble almost every Disease, and scarcely two Persons are affected in a similar Manner; they ore Continually changing their Action, Shape, and Con- dition, while, under every fresh Attack, the Patient feels some Symptoms he never before experienced. Thus the Mind often becomes a Prey to the most fatal Apprehensions, while the diseased Imagination forges those wild Chimeras, which perpetually haunt and distress the Brain. The Sun as it were goes down on the Heart, and the Shadows of the Evening close in on the Soul!" Such are the sad Thoughts nud distressintr Feelm^ « .! » ;<>>. lhat real Object ot Commiseration, a Nerrous Patient. To such, what a Treasure will be found in the Cordial Balm of Zura ; or, Phcenix of Life! The vital Prin- ciple, under its divine Operation, like the fabled Pit CO nix, spring's from the Embers of a decayed Con- stitution, and rises to Happiness and Life, Reani- mated, Renorated, and Etheiealised. GENERAL SYMPTOMS. The Symptoms which precede, accompany, and follow this distressing Complaint are very numerous. The following are the most prominent :— Great De pression of Spirits, Timidity, Starlings, Melancholy, Fickleness of Temper, Restlessness, Anxiety, aud a painful Presentiment of Death, With ils Increase, frequeijl. Attacks of the Cramp, Head Ache, settled Pains in different Parts of the Body, the Eves are clouded, a continual Ringing in the Ears, Dullness of Hearing, alternate Chills and F'lnshes of Heat, Weariness, Nausea, Loss of the Appetite, Decay of Strength, Burning Heat in the Palms 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 qf the Heart, Difficulty of Breathing, and Convulsions. It is not difficult to point out the Means of relieving the Patient, but none have ever proved so powerful, so efficacious, as the Cordial Balm of Zwra; or, Phoenix of Life : as a Restorer of St rength 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 Mouths, 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 ! Tbe nutritive and cleansing Powers of the Balm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life, are peculiarly adaptep to the Delicacy of the Female Habit nnd Consti tution, under those necessary Operations, designed by tho Great Creator, for tiie Preservation of Health, the Continuation of the Human Species, and the Felicity of Domestic Existence. It removes those Obstruc- tions, which too often nip in the Bud the Promise of the future Blossom. It promotes the- Secretions, and preserves the Course of Nature from Impediment; comforts, exhilarates, and supports io those import- ant and peculiar Periods, Puberty, Maturity, and the Change of Life: for the want of which, in'iny of those lovely, interesting, and valuable Ornaments of Creation sink into an untimely Grave. The most sovereign Remedy yet found, is iu the exalted and inestimable Virtues of the Cordial Balm of Zura, or Phfenix of Life; the greatest Restorative of ex- hausted Nature; by a due Perseverance in which, the whole Muscular Fibres become invigorated, all the Solids which were jelnxed, are braced, every Office of Nature is properly performed. Seize then the Opportunity which offers, for the Co/ dial Bairn of Zura, or Phrenix of Life, possesses Powers which almost exceed Credibility, in revuu4fig languid Na ture, and invigorating the whole Constitution, COLD BATHING. Nothing is moje condneive to Health than the frequent Use of the Cold Bath, when not taken to Excess; a single Immersion will answer every Pur- pose; for remaining- too long in the Water is very injurious. Judiciously pursued, it braces tlve- Fibres, and in every Period ol Life gives Tone and Vigour to: the Body, it enables the vital Organs to perform their Functions, it hardens the Frame against Cold, D& mp, and' changeable Weather, and restrains ex- cessive Perspirations. Sea Water, for stimulating, cleansing, and bracing the Nerves, is far preferable to River Water for any Debility. To prevent any ill Sensation after Bathing, such as Trembling, Pain in the Stomach, Crnn. ip, Giddiness, or llead- Ache, take a Table- spoonful of the Cordial Balm of Zura, or Phoenix of Life, Half an Hour before Bathing, which will ' comfort the Intestines, throw n warm Glow over the whole Frame, and create an excellent Appetite with a good Digestion.

An instance of tins . occurs in bis inter- view with General Exeeunans, tiie officer, who dur- jngthe hundred days pursued him by order* of Na- poleon. ,, According to the intelligence ft urn Madrid to the' 20th of September, most of the cities in Spain are become the seat of military • commissions-; and trials, or rather condemnations,-' for acts of alleged rebellion, are taking* place in quarters where uo p. evions inrimatron had been giren of the occur rence of insurrections or even of disturbances. In-.- diy- fduals of all ranks and all professions, civil as well as ' military, are subjected to this " epuration," which, uoi wii, bstanding t he decree of a. mnesty, ge- nerally terminates in their being strangled or shot in liie back as traitors. The State of the Peninsula seems to be growing every day more, desperate. The Emperor of Russia has quitted St Peters- burg!), to visit the Asiatic parts of his dominions ; a journey of about 10,000 mile*! Accounts have been received at Lloyd's of the loss, off ihe Cape, of two East Indiamen, tiie Mary, Captain Ardiie, from Bengal, and the George the, Fourth, Captain Prissick, from the Isle of France j the crew* and passengers were saved. . .. ll appears that a sum exceeding sixty thousand rupees had been subscribed in Bengal-, on account of the fund . for encouraging a permanent communica- tion by steam vessels, bttvVeeu Great Britain and India. A steam Vessel, of 500 tons burden, has been laid on the stocks, which is to be ready " for sea in December n « ' Xt. A supply of coals has been sent out to the Cape of Good Hope, for her voyage from - thence to Bengal. It is expected the passage will occupy about ( iOdays. • ; Captain J. D.

' This day the payment of the amount due to the dissentients from the reduction of the Four per Cents, will be made, we understand, at the Bank, and will fWiii,- if claimed, au increase toth< circulating medium of nearly £ 6,000,000. We say, if claimed, for it is a very curious fact, that of the amount due to the dissentients from the reduction of the Five per Cents, which took place in 1822, a large portion has never been called for, but is lying idle at the Bank, The mode by whieh provision is made for the Four per Cent; dissentients has been already mentioned, the Bank having engaged to advance: tbe sum required, and receive repayment at slated periods from the sinking fund, taking interest al the rate of three per cent It is to the expectation of the increase of circulation front this source that is to be as- cribed llie high slate of credit of* the English funds, which tor some time past have been gradually improving in value.

TH K DISCOY** RY SHIPS— The following is an extract of a letter from the Agent at. Lloyd's, at Hull, dated ' 7th of October.—" The Mary Frances, Wilkinson, has arrived from Davis Straits, and re ports that she saw the Discovery ships beset in the Middle le-, ou the 17th of July", in iat. 70. long. 5 Capiaiu Wilkinson entered the Ice on the following day in lat. 06. long. 20. and penetrated to the West I. uVtd on the 26tlV, where lie remained until the 9th of September, when he bore away for England, hav ing taken 15 whales. He was nearly as high as Lancaster Sound, and states that the prospect for the Discovery . Ships was very favourable, as the weather was fine, and the coast unusually fi » ee from ice. Ashe never met them after be got through the barrier of ice, there Can be no doubt of their having had an equally favourable passage. The Mary Frances and tbe William and Aim were the only ships which got through the barrier in the month of July; the remainder of the - fishing! vessels having attempted the passage in a higher latitude, did n6t succeed until August.'* I n til. AN i>.-— Six men were executed in the county ot Kilkenny, a few weeks Ht, nee? for the murder of Mr Marunr. five" of Whom,' to* the last ' Kiio. me. nl, protested their innocence, though the evidence of their ' guilt was conclusive; Mr. Ma- lum, jun. who narrowly escaped with his life, gave evidence on the trials: lie is, in consequence, daily threatened with a similar fate by anonymous letters and notices.; and so omnipotent is the reign of terror, that the crops on his lands are still standing and running to waste, the most dreaofu) denunciations having been published against any person who should assist hini. Ou Thursday, the workmen 1) egau to Mac- adamize the wide roadway from Charing cross to Parliament street. Temporary fencing is raised half. way over the street, from the Admiralty to the Horse Guards, thus preventing any interruption of this great thoroughfare. The great granite stones are broken iuio small pieces as fast as they are taken up, and thus, as rapidly as the way is cleared, the materials are ready for the commence men I of the Macadamizing system. We are happy to learn, that the Spitalficlds trade has never been in a inoie prosperous state than il is at present ; and that so far from the workmen having, as has been stated, 44 to deplore the loss of their former privileges," by Ihe repeal of the Act which: reguluted their wages, it has been a great benefit lo them, as they are actually paid now fifteen per cent, morn for some articles than the law allowed I hem; and ihere is not single loom idle for want of employ. A Dota Mail has- been received, bringing papers to the 10th instant. Among them we find the follow- ing notice of a Decree issued by the King of the Netherlands,- respecting- the importatiojpc^ of grwin. HAGCE; Qc: if< H.— In con> eqnenee of the ap- plication of the .

The total Revenue for the year ending October 10, is stated at £ 50,400,092, ' that for the preceding year at £ 49,216,052, being increase of £ 1,184,040. This increase, however, is merely apparent; for ihere is, au actual decrease of £: il. V> 6!> the payment of £ 2,^ 00,000 from Aus- tria being carried to the account, which cannot, in making an estimate of the condition of the country he taken into consideration ; nevertheless, con sidering the many and important, taxes which have been remitted,, and the . re- payment of the Silk JDuties, the Revenue is manifestly in a state of grow ing increase; and not only justifiesthe congratula- tion with which we set out, but affords ground for confident expectation that the national burdens will be still further diminished. ...

A servant of an elderly lady of great respectability, who was there, very deliberately borrowed an axe from one of the servants of the house, who thinking it was for the purpose of doing something to the. Lady's carriage, lent it him with- out hesitation ; upon which he took it into his bed- room, in tbe yard, and very composedly placed bis left hand upon the foot of the bed, and with Ihe axe in his right hand chopl it clearly off! Having thrown the hand under the bed, he came dAun lo the house, holding the s) ump of his arm, bleeding profusely, and yyhicli must have caused his death in a short time, had not the waiter, wilh great presence of mind, made use of an handkerchief by way of tourniquet, and by lhat means partially stopt the blood until surgical aid was procured. On Ihe arrival of the Surgeon, he was so exhausted, that further amputation could not then he per- formed, but it has since been done, and the poor man seems likely to survive— This horrifying act of self mutilation was effected by him for the avowed purpose of being better enabled lo enter into the Kingdom of Heaven!! ! Every possible care has been taken ofhim, and a person continually watches him ; lie has altogether been dull and silent, and it is much to be feared that the delusion has by- no •>.„.,., « left him, and lhat some other member of his body, or indeed his life, may be the next sacrifice to his most uunatural mania.

The method is as follows f ••-.'•• ' " .' - > v- Dissolve four ounces of copperas, or blue- vitriol ( sulphate of copper) in four gallons of water, for evei- y three bushels- of grain that is to be prepared. Put the ' wheat into another vessel, and pour the liquid on it till it rises five or six inches above the corn . Stir it thoroughly, and carefully. remove all the ligfat- grains w'friqh swim on the surface. Afte? an bour. in tl-. e solution, . throvV . tji'fe W'heat.' irito a j^ asjeet wljich .1, allow the water to - Itnmediateiy. wash the grain in pure Water,? Idry'^. and it is ready to sow. It may be preserved aSSwronth^ before it is sown, but it i; better t'O prepare it when it is wanted. This method as been practisetl for ages in the Pays de Waes; ( the country, betvveeu Antwerp and Ghent); and, there the- cro|> s are never infected with the mildew, and seldom with the smut. Another cause- of the superiority of the Flemish crops is manuring the clover with Dutch ashes, i. e. ashes from^ he5peut, dug in the marshes of Holland The agriculturist well knows how deficient the crops of cl.^ ve^ have lately become in England, and how unceiiain is the crop of wheat which follows. In Flanders, about l( j bushels of Dutch ashes are sown upon each acre of clover, and the consequence , that two great crops are alwayS procured, with iistjirage afterwards ^ while the crop of wheat lrich follows never fails. These ashes may be inported i a to England at the rate of one shilling per bosfi^ lV if hoiie of our. English peat should produce ashes equally valuable. Another difference in tlie sy^ tebr of husband ry i n a considerable part of the N^ h6rlandsi,!:; aiJid pwrticularly in the plains of Pleumsy is tlMaljoli'tiofi'dfthe fallows. . A constant success= wMi of i^ ra- is'ed. The principal use of the fallows is to cfear the ground of root weeds, '^' Uich'the Flemfifr^ effect by elevating the laud nto smail ridgesj an^ using a particular instrument called tire biribt. It is% m'axiin with the Flemish farmers, that if the land is manured every ninth yeari fafloWs are perfectly unnecessary^ T he p iOd tic ti ve n ess of the, crops is a sufficient proof that the land does not suffer, while the crop of every sixth- year is gained. The usual produce of wheat is iwelve or thirteen for one, and never less thiift .. six -;. or. vse. y, e'n'.. Another peculiarity in th husbandry of the Netherlands is the extraordinary neatness, vvhich prevails. The w hole country afford but few iti); iances of the slovenly management which is so frequ% ntf>^ seen among us. It is difficult to believe wvh at attention is paid to weeding, and how great an expense the farmer incurs to keep his land clean. The Flemish farmers are likewise distin- guished for their attention to manure, it being' maxim with - them that the fertility of the soil dej^ n^ onjfJheiriches which are given it, and the allowance^ jiia. iiure is exceedingly liberal. The c ill t u re of ra^ e - seed a nd the winter barley, tbe flax husbandry, and the double crops, are likewise pecu- liar features in tlreir agriculture': The usual course of crops^ inifie Pays de Waes is as follows J. AfteV th^ land is trenched and well manured, potatoes are planted the fi/ st year. ; S^/ heaLj/ avith man'ire^ sown in October or ' ' N^ ve^ be'r, and carrots in February for a second crfi'jj tlW same year.

Buck- wheat; after which the ground is re- trenched. The usual times for sowing and reaping are these — Wheat is sown in October, November, or Decern her, and reaped in July.— Winter Barley is sown i October,- and reaped in July.— Oats are sown i March or April, and reaped at the end of August The size of the fields is usually small, and the lease unfortunately short.

PRESERVATION^ PF THE COPPER SHEATH ING OF.^ HFP. s.— Sir Humphrey Davy's proposed plan for this purpose is at once so simple in itself, and so important in its consequence;, that we shall wideavOhr to afford a popular view of the merits of the iQveutioa. - Every tyro knows that if a piece of VAne placed unde. r the tongue, and a piece of sil ver, a iialf-.

THE A& UE.—( From an Fvetiinp paper.) — Thirty years ago, a lady Had the misfortune to be afflicted with an ague, which baffled the attempts of the best medical assistance of her neighbourhood for more than two years, when a stranger, accident- ally coming to the house, spoke with great confi- dence of a very simple remedy, namely, two tea- spoons- full of the best flour of brimstone, taken in a gill of porf vvine, whenever the. fit conies on, the patient going to bed immediately, and wrapped up in blankets; This tiie lady was induced to try as the remedy was innocent iu its nature, and no possible evil could, result. The effect was a most profuse perspiration, and the suppression of the fit for that time ; two days afterwards it came on again, and the remedy not, being resorted to, the St had its usual course ; a^ ain in two Qther days, on the symptoms appeal ing, the mixture was'taken, and it not only gave immediate relief, but entirely removed; the complaint. The " lady in question is desirous of making the circumstance public, for the benefit of such as may be atflieted with this dis- tressing complaint ; and'she is the more induced to do so, because she has, in numerous cases,, recom- mended the same remedy, and has not, in the ex- perience of thirty years, known a single failure. The first application generally effects the cure, and few instances have occurred thai required the re- petition more than twice. Where wine could not be, procured, the sulphur mixed with water has been found to answer the same purpose. Last week, a plasterer's labourer gained access to a gin cask belonging to a publican in this town, to which he helped himself so freely, that he was taken to the Infirmary wilh but few signs of life.

[ FROM THE GLASGOW COURIER.] We have been favoured by a gentleman inter- ested in African discovery, To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, Many persons are, I know, fond of favouring the public with their opinions upon different sub- jects, when they can do so without being publicly known ; and, providing they keep within those bounds which the well being of society requires, such persons' opinions are perhaps productive of benefit rather than otherwise; but the frequent occurrence in the different Newspapers ofa notice, that such and such ^ communication wants the* authority of a real, signature, tends to shew that there also many persons fond of scribbling whose pens 3re dipped in { jail; and, consequently, whose lucubrations are of such a nature as lo make them ashamed of giving their names even to the person who is responsible for printiug that which, perhaps, a tit yf the spleen has given birth lo.

Your's, R. DAVIES. Oct. 9, 1824. ts The most common objects of those who favour their neighbours with anonymous advices, are, to insinuate that which should not be known, or to hint at that which cannot be proved ; and therefore the only effects which they produce are, the occa- sioning of misery, which cannot be removed, and the inflicting of wounds which cannot. be healed. Their common signatures are, a True Friend, \ x Well- wisher, Veritas, or simply A. B. ; and, in such case, the very fact of the letter belies the signature. A hue friend means, in this instance, One who is false, or who is a friend to nobody ; for a really true friend speaks out, and uses familiarity, though always within the compass of good breeding. A true friend is loyal and courageous, and would rather run the risk of open offence, than allow the object of his friendship to be deceived, injured, or imposed upon. Besides, it. very seldom occurs that advice which is really valuable, whether spoken or written, needs any apology ; and, if it be positi vely for the good of the person to whom it is given, and the giver have a right to offer it, it can never need to be concealed. An anonymous well wisher is one who wishes well to the cause of dissention and disturbance, but who has not the courage to stand up manfully and disclose his wish. He is a cow- ardly incendiary, who, having stolen upon the unsuspecting in the dark, and kindled the destruc- tive flame, sneaks away into a corner, and there enjoys in secret the progress of the conflagration. Veritas is a lie in masquerade; an impostor, who having disguised facts, for the purpose either of benefitting himself by another's loss, or of bringing down an innocent person to his or her level, con- siders the word Veritas as a secure and classical cloak for his meanness and impertinence. " A. B. again is a very sweeping signature. It may be any body. It may be a blockhead — a brute, or a blackguard. Of these B.' s, the busy B, as not having any distinctive character, is perhaps, in its own nature, the most harmless ; but it is so only while it remains in obscurity; for if it meet with the least encouragement, it never fails to make love » > y . and who has travelled a considerable way into the inferior of the southern parts of Northern Africa, with some notes - regard- ing the death of Our lamented countryman, Mr Park. The narrative is drawn from a negro, a native of Yaoui ie, adjoining Ihe spot where Mr. Park perisSied, and who witnessed what he relates Con sidering every circumstance the document is clear and satisfactory, plain and unadorned, without airy thing that leads to a suspicion of its accuracy, or the intention of the negro to deceive, and in its most material features it is borne out by accounts obtained through other channels. The notes from which the following summary is drawn up were obtained in 1822 : Duncan no, a negro, was born at Birnie Yaonrie. He was in the Pass ahou't to be mentioned, to sell as, when he was seized by the Foulahs, carried off as a slave, and afterwards taken lo the Gold Coast, where lie was shipped on hoard a Portuguese esse), and carried to Bahia, where he remained three years. He was employed in a Portuguese slave ship as a seaman, and returned to Africa in her, during Governor MaxwelTs residence on the coast. Duncanuo states, that he was in his native country. Bimie Yaourie, sixteen years ago ( 180fi), when Mr. Park ariived there in a canoe with two masts No person landed. The canoe continued her course down the river with her travellers in lier The King of Yaourie; aware of their danger, sent ff eight canoes after them, to warn them of it, and n one of the canoes was sent a. red cow, intended as a present to tbe white men. Mr. Paik did not. com- municate With them, but continued sailing onwards. The canoes followed, aud at last Mr. Park, probably 1 reading hostile intentions, fired upon them, but fortunately did not kill any one. The canoes which bad been sent returned, but the King, anxious for the safety of the travellers, again sent people to proceed after them, requesting them to stop, and he would send people to show them the safe aud propei passage in the channel of the River The uiessen gvrs could not, however, overtake them. Pari continued his voyage till the vessel got amongst the rocks off Boussa,' and was in consequence 14 broken.'' Birnie Yaourie is in Houssa, but Bonssa is not The latter is in tbe country called Burgoo. Birnie Yaourie is by land distant one day's journey from Bonssa, but by water one day and a half. Duucanoo described the place or pass, where ihe canoe was broken, to be like the cataracts in our mountains The water ran wiih great force. Tbe canoe was carried rapidly along, and, before they could.,, sue their Til) mine nt danger, it struck with violence on some rocks, and was dashed to pieces. The people of Boussa stood upon tiie rocks projecting into the river, desirous, if possible, to afford ibe white men assistance, but the catastrophe was so sudden, and the violence of the stream so great, that they could not reach them. The break of the river on the rocks is described as dreadful. The whirlpools formed were appalling, and the agitation of th waters was so great as almost to raise the canoe on its end, and precipitate it, stem forwards, into the gulfs below it. Al the moment the vessel struck, Mr. Park held something in his hand, which he threw; into tbe water, just as the vessel appeared to be going fo pieces. ' The 44 wafer was too bad'* agitated that he could not swim, and he was seen to sink in it. There were plenty" other white " men in the canoe, all of whom were drowned. The river there is as broad as from Le Fevei Point toTagrin Point, Sierra Leone, or above four miles. Tbeie was a black man, a slave, who was saved from the cahoeT This black man Spoke the Foulah languag and was a slave to a Foulahmau. When Duncan no left Yaourie, tbis man was still in Boussa, hut he knows nothing more of him Duncan- no asserted positively that no person from Park's vessel landed at Birnie Yaonrie, that the Black was the only individual saved, and that that man only was left at Boussa. The people of Boiissa went in canoes lo this " bad place" in the river, where Park's vessel was broken, and where he was drowned, and some expert divers dived into the stream and picked up twelve pistols and two long muskets. 44 Plenty of people" went* from Birni Yaourie to Boussa to see the wreck after tiie King of Botissa had sent fo the King of Yaourie lo inform him of the disaster. Park informed the black man who was in the boat that iu a week or two he should carry him with the > canoe into a " great Ocean,' where she water was salt! Thus- far the simple narrative. It bears the stamp of truth upon it, and it is impossible to reflect upon the catastrophe without feelings of lite deepest sor* row and reg ret at the loss of the enterprising traveller when he was so near completing his labour, aud reaping the reward of all his toils.

A series of Gazettes from Hobart Town, Vim Die men's Land, from January 30 to the 2d of April usive, were received on Monday at the New England Coffee- house. This Colony continues to make rapid advances in improvement. Owing to the fineness of the climate, all the fruits and plants of Europe are gradually bringing into cultivation there Grapes, iu particular, had succeeded beyond expectation, and the produce in that fruit was ex peeled to be greater than in any season since the formation of ihe Colony, Other fruits, of which the crops had been extremely productive, were the green gao- e and all sorts of plums in great abundance, cherries, apples, raspberries, and walnuts. This latter fruit, it was supposed, would not comedo per- fection in tbis climate, but the experience of the pr- sent season, in which the walnut- trees have borne for I he first time, has proved the contrary.- All the lifferent species of clover answered • perfectly in the soil of Van DiemenVLairti \ and it is remarked, that el ver sown in the lat: er end of September had see d ed i n 111 e beginning of Feb r n ar y— a ra p id i I y of growth extremely uncommon. The agriculturists in the neighbourhood of Hobart Town had succeeded rearing the indigo plant. The common holly- bock, or rose- mallow, which has latelyVbeen disco- vered to yield a blue dye, equal in beauty and per- manence to the best indigo, was also growing in seve- ral parts of the island in the greatest luxuriance. In the rearing of live stock, and in the improve- ment of the existing breeds of cattle and 0f sheep, the settlers are also proceeding prosperously. 1 n the last accounts from this colony it was stated, that several cargoes of Merino sheep, through want of * proper care and attention, had died on the voyage to the great disappointment of those to whom they were consigned. 1 This evil had^ however, been medied. By the William Shand, " which arrived at Hobart Town early in February, tbe colony had been again benefitted by an importation of no less than 128 fine ewes and rams of the pure Merino breed, most of them shipped from the flock of Sir John Sebright, whose attention to ibis subject is well known to English agriculturists.-'- There- Ifiifl TilwSF' been imported hy another vessel 80 full grown pore Merino sheep. Out of the whole number brought by both these ves « e % only ten died on the passage. The natives of Van Diemen's Land continued, nf- rInnately, to annoy the settlers. Two instances had occurred, within a short period, of persons ap- pointed to watch the flocks and herds in distant places having been murdered by them. Several expeditions had been planned, or were actually in progress, for exploring the interior of Van Diemen's Laud, for the purpose of ascertaining the course of the rivers, or of discovering the differ- ent natural productions of the country. Capt. RoL land, of the Buffs, w ho were stationed at Port Dal- rymple, and Mr. Hardvvicke, of Norfolk Plains, had froin the ttoyal African Corps, and seven rank and file are wounded. The unorganized force of Negroes m our service lost a total of 102 rank and file killed; and 440 rank and file wounded. This victory is of great importance. It will ensure respect for fhelinglisb name among all the savages in the vicinity of Our African settlements; and will, we trust, lay the foundation for opening a course of regular commercial intercourse with the nations in ihe interior.— The whole course of pro- ceeding, as described in Lieutenant- Colonel Suther- land's dispatches, bears testimony to the skill and judgment of that officer; and proves, beyond dis- pute, that nothing but extreme rashness on the part of their Commauder could ever expose Eu- ropean troops to serious danger from any numbers, however great, of the Ashantee Barbarians. By cautiously avoiding a general engagement, Lieut.- Colonil Sutherland called to his aid in the contest those powerful auxiliaries in war, famine, and its offspring, despondency and discontent, which the Chief of the Savages vainly attempted to remedy or conlroul by torture and executions. The result was such as might have been expected. The con- fused herd, driven upon the British line, by terror and despair, fell before their antagonists like beasts of the forest. MR. FAUNTLEROY.— If we may credit the reports of a recent examination, we must conclude that the kind treatment of a culprit should be in exact proportion to the magnitude of his villainy, and the lops and mischief' occasioned by it. The poor filcher of a handkerchief is hurried before a Magistrate, committed to gaol, fed on the prison allowance, and treated with proper contumely. But boldly forge to the amount of thousands; have recourse to the basest of crimes,— breach of confidence; reduce those who believed themselves affluent, to comparative penury ; and a Magistrate who ventures to hint at the enormity of your crime will be reprimanded ; your feelings will be respect- ed ; you will be asked if you have no objection to your prison ; you will be respectfully treated by your attendants ; and even Newgate will, if pos- sible,, be divested of its horrors, lest your nerves should be hurt. To those who would defend, such conduct; who would plead compassion aud feeling tor fallen greatness, for loss of rank and character in society, we must reply— that punishment is intended to be a preventive^ and not meant to be r< venge~*- and conspicuous aud apparently U- Dpitied degradation will be found in all cases to be a much stronger preventive,( if, similar criminality than the severest punishment of the law. ARCHITECTURE — Of all the arts, architecture > seems at present to meet with the most encourage- ment, and yet to make the least progress in im provement. In one of the new churches the doors have been so ill placed, that ihe greater part of them have been obliged to be stopped up; against one of the hew Club- houses we already see a scaf- folding erected for repairs; and the splendid man- sion of a certain opulent merchant, only wants a crane to give it all the outward appearance of being intended for a warehouse.— London Paper. LONDON.— As all the fields and gardens within some miles of what a few years since was London, seem fast converting into squaies and streets, it becomes a matter of curiosity how both the old and new towns are to be in future supplied with milk, vegetables, and other things which have hitherto been derived from the luxuriant vegetation of the places we allude to — Several changes in the names of places are contemplated in the vicinity of Finsbury square. Old Befhlem is already trans- formed to Liverpool street, to the no small incon- venience of the inhabitants who have connect » oi; s at a distance not apprised of the change.

A meeting has been held at Belfast on the part of the Irish Cotton Weavers and the Delegated Scotch Cotton Weavers, to adopt some plan of combination, both in Scotland and Ireland, that THE . COTTON MANUFACTURE— The spindle and distaff are still used in Hindoostan ; and Mr. Guest, in his history of the Cotton Manufactory, attributes the superiority of lexture and the dura- bility of Indian nankeens and long cloths to this mode of spinning, which disposes the fibres of cotton more evenly, and twists them more iinto the body of the thread, than the spinning machines do. S. feam looms are now rapidly superseding the old hand- looms. I n lbl8, there were in Manchester, Stock- port, & c, and the vicinity, about 2000 looms : iu 1821, in the same neighbourhood, 5732; and if is estimated that there are at present uot fewer than 10,000 steam- looms in Great. Britain. In the fac- tories where ihey are employed, thecotlon is carded, roved, spun, and woven into cloth under the same roof; and the same quantum of labour is performed in one of these structures, which formerly occupied the industry of an entire district. Mr. Guest, how- ever, assures ns that so vast is the disproportion between the price of labour n India and in Jiurope, that, when the mule- twist is exported from England to Hindoostan. or should mule- factories be establish- ed there, the Indian hand- weavers will undersell the English steam- loom manufacturers; that is to say, when the Indian weaver can avail himself Of a part of our machinery, he will be able to beat the other part out of the market. The race of competition, between the cheapness of labour in , Hindoost< » n and English industry assisted by machinery, is . much nearer an equality than persons commonly imagine ; and the difference between yarn spun bv the distaff and spindle in India, and that which is produced in England from yarn spun by machinery, is only 14| to 19|. The Indian manufacturer is able to sell for one shilling and sevenpence halfpenny that which the English manufacturer, with all his ma- chinery and economy of human labour, cannot sell for less than ls. 2| d. Mr. Guest, therefore, dreads this Indian rival; and he deprecates, as the greatest evil that can possibly happen to the manufacturers of England, the establishment of mule or other factories in Hindoostan. The annual consumption of cotton in India is 800,000 bags, and that of Great Britain 600,000; and, as no machinery is used in India, the spinning and " manufacturing of this vast quantity must support immense numbers of people, who would be thrown out of employment, if English spun twist and weft were conveyed to them in a state ready for being woven into cloth The consequence would be, that tlie hands thus disengaged would be applied to the labours of Ihe loom, and fhe Indian population would become weavers for the whole world. Should English tWTst be freely exported, all he capital and machinery employed in improving the steam- loom would, according to this writer, he i; onre a ruinous speculation. The Indian weaver, having obtained our twist, would weave it into cloth, return it to England, and with all our boasted ma chinery would undersell us in our own markets. SWEDISH TURNIPS.— The celebrated William Cobbett, in a letter dated Kensington, Oct 2, says: In 1818, I wrote, in Long Island, and published ai New York, the first part of the " Year's Residence in AmericaIt was published in England iu the autumn of that year. It contained, amongst other things, an account of my mode of cultivating that invaluable root, the Swedish Turnip. 1 spoke of my cultivation of the roof at Botley, as well as in Long Island Several persons in England pursued the mode at once, and, to their great profit, have adhered to it ever since. But there is one gentleman, Mr. Palmer, of Bollitree Castle, parish of Weston, near the town of Ross, county of Hereford, who has, iu consequence of having adopted my system, made ah improvement in agriculture, worthy of the attention of every landlord and farmer in the kingdom, and worthy of the praise of the whole country. Mr. Palmer read tbe " Year's ResidenceV in th winter of 1819 ; and, being convinced by my reason- ng and my facts, he, at once, resolved to act upon my advice. He prepared two fields, the one called Brick- kiln field, and the other called Hiscups, the first containing 13| acres, and the last 17|. The two fields have borne, during the last, six years ( 1819 and 1821 included), three drops of Swedish turnips and three crops of wheat. But let us take the crops, year by year, of the Brick- kiln field, which may serve for both, theie being scarcely any difference in the crops of the two fields. 1819. Drilled Swedish turnips— fi single row on the top of each ridge, and the ridges four feet apart.— Tbe crops twenty tons of bulbs to tbe acre.— The tops from seven to eight tons.— The lops, in November and Decem- ber, flung about on pasture land, to cattle, sheep, and pigs.— The bulbs carried off also, and oxen and sheep were fatted with them during the winter aud spring months 1820.

They are proceeding successfully in clearing their laud and accumulating stock ; though by some injudicious choice oil the part of the government surveyor, the land had not turned out so well as was expected, being in many places sandy aud rocky, and by no means so fertile as the ground generally is in thai country; yet are the settlers pleased with their return. Each has from eight to fifteen acres for cuilivaiion ; and many of them have built new houses, and appropriated the original huls to their cattle. They bave established a school, which bus already 34 scholars ; and their minister has announced a newspaper. A grist mi" has been erected by Mr. D. Bower The settlers, who, as was formerly noticed, abandoned their possessions and went to work in Ihe United States, had, after a fe\ V months' trial, generally come back. Thei wages, though high, were paid iu the troublesome shape of goods; for which, however, they got a eady market on their return. Cattle thrive so well, that many of the settlers, vvho bought only one cow, have already seven or eight, young and old : they have calves at two years old : they are attended with very, little trouble, living mostly on the leaves and shoots of trees: they are littie subject to distemper they give from 5 to 6 Scottish pints of rich milk day, which churned will yield I? or. of bnttei size they are about equal lo the cows of this country, nd sell from £ 4 to £ 5 each. A pair of oxen will Cost from £ 15 to £ 20. They are tbe only beasts of burden. No horses have yet been introduced. Now that some ex lent of land is cleared, they are adding sheep to their stock. The sheep are fine- woolled, and will be very beneficial to the tire side manufactures. Pigs and poultry thrive exceedingly, and find the most of their own food during the summer. Wheat, rye, peas, and potatoes are the surest crops, and are of the best quality. Flax grows luxuriantly. Tur- nips in general are good, but they sometimes fail. Indian corn is also uncertain, from being occasion- ally too lale. Pumpkins are easily cultivated, and are admirable food for cattle. Melons are raised without trouble, and are eagerly devoured by the settlers in hot weather. All the culinary vegetables flourish in gardens. A correspondent ( Mr. James Lindsay), who has a good deal more land in cultiva- tion than the average, says, 44 the people are now making themselves comfortable. They have this year put up many new houses and barns; and are going ou with more. They are all convinced how much better they are off here lhan they were in Scotland. In place of one week's provisions for iheir family, they now have twelve months of good flour, and all other comforts of life ; and many of the luxuries with little trouble."— A letter received by Mr. Lantond from Mr. Dar. Young, late of Bath- gate, is extremely favourable fo* the colony. 44 Our climate is 10 degrees sooth of that of Glasgow, and a few degrees warmer; however at ihe warmest not intolerable, but very delightful even at noon. The nights are generally very cool, aud the dews copi- ously abundant. Indeed the whole season through there is such a similarity to the climate of Scotland, thai, could a person be removed from one to the other asleep, little difference could be observed. A few days after Christmas the frost gets dreadfully Severe in the night time ; but if clear, the suu has as neighbourhood of Coal River. He ascertained that that valuable article, coal, was produced there in very large quantities, and being near the surface, ! that mines could be formed mid worked at a very | moderate expense. Some of t, he specimens produced were deficient itf bituminous matter, and therefore 1 burnt with difficulty, but that was supposed, to he incidental only to, ihe strata of coal that lay nearest to the surface, and that the defect in quality would not be found to exist on penetrating deeper. His Majesty's ship Tees sailed from Hobart Town earlv in February on a cruize to New Zealand ; dur- ing her stay in the harbour, Mr. Fielder, the purser of that ship, unfortunately fell overboard and Was drowned. The first and third Lieutenants, imme- diately after the accident, leaped into the wafer, but their attempts to save him were without success. The charter of incorporation of a bank at Hobart Town, an accommodation long wanted by the inha- bitants, had arrived/' and its notes were put into circulation ou the - 15' h of March. In the latter^ Tid of February, a new township was laid o « 44trttie district of Coal River, advantageously situated ou the bank of th at stream, and the Lieu- tenant Governor, who presided on the occasion, had given it the name of Richmond. The Royal Charter, appointing a separate Court of Justice, and granting other privileges lo Van Die- men's Land, arrived from England in the Dibehiia transport in the middle of March. Mr. Jusiice Pedder, who bad been appointed Judge of the Supreme Court of Van Diemen's Land, had arrived out iu that vessel. On the 31st of March, ihe Royal Charter above alluded to Was read at Government- house by the Provost- Marshal, in the presence id' the Lieutenant- Governor and the principal officers and inhabitants of the Colony ; and a salute of 21 guns was fired on the occasion.

THE ASIIANTEES.— Tuesday night's Gazette contains the official dispatches respecting the defeat of the Ashantees. It may reasonably be expected, from the severity of the chastisement inflicted on the savages, that no attempt will be made on their part to continue the war. It appears lhal their temporary success had raised their hopes of conquest to the highest pitch. The barbarian sovereign, Assai Tootoo Quamina, with whom Mr Do puis negotiated, is dead. His brother, who succeeded him at the moment of Victory over the late Sir Charles M'Carthy, resolved to march down to the coast immediately, with an overwhelming force, and drive the English into the sea. He came accordingly with an army of eighteen thou- sand men, but before he made his attack, iu full confidence of his approaching triumph, he sent a taunting message to the Castle, telling them, that though they might raise their walls, and strengthen their fortifications, nothing should prevent him from overthrowing and destroying them. With savages like himself these menaces might have produced some effect in the way Of intimidation but on the English garrison they were of course wasted. Vigorous preparations were made for resistance, and, when the enemy appeared in force under the walls, all was ready for his reception! After some days, during which his purpose seems to have varied, a general attack was commenced at tvvo o'clock iu the afternoon, and continued until six in the evening, when the barbariansfell hack io disorder, having sustained a very heavy loss. Our black auxiliaries ( the Fantees) fought with great bravery, though it was necessary to drive them to their post at the point of the bayonet After the defeat the Ashantee army broke up, and dispersed in every direction. The King revenged himself for his discomfiture by beheading four ol the Chiefs, whom he had retaken after they had deserted from him. Tiie British loss, is very tri fling. One officer only is killed, Lieut. Swauzy, of GREEK HONEY POISON.— Colonel Rottiers elates, that during his residence at Trebisonde, in 1816, he visited the place from which the 10,000 Greeks under Xenophon beheld the sea. He remarked the ruins of an ancient temple of the lime of the Emperor Adrian. The rhododendrum pontlcum grows there on all the mountains, and the inhabitants assert that the bees extract honey from it, which, mixed with that of other flowers, is a kind of poison, causing stupor in a greater or less degree, according to the season of the year. M t) upre, the Consul of France, who accompanied Col. Rottiers, assured him that he had experienced this effect himself. This, therefore, confirms what Xenophon says about this honey iu bis Anabasis. The inhabitants and the Turks call this honey dcil bul, or strong honey —' Literary Gazette. At the gener, 1 meeting of the Proprietors of the Birmingham Canal Navigations, recently held at their canal office, it was unanimously resolved, " that ihe sum of £ 100 be subsciibed by ibis Company, in aid of tbe fund iu Loudon, for the purpose of erecting a National Monument in Westminster Abbey or Si.

The following proof of the extent to which law- suits may be carried transpires in the course of the evidence given by an engineer before the Irish Survey Committee.

Last Sunday there was, as I hear, parties of cotton spinners at Loch Lotnond on pleasurable excu sions. BREAD.-— An astounding exposure of alleged poisonous and fraudulent contrivances of the meatmen and bakers in London has just appeared in the shape of a shilling pamphlet, entitled the " Tricks of Bakersf Unmasked ; a letter to the Lord Mayor of London." Tbe author, James Maton, is a journeyman baker; the story of the various employments he has filled is in fact one continued history of atrocious fraud. During his whole career he met with but one honest master all the others whom he served dabbled more or less in the secrets ofthe trade— making bread with inferior or damaged corn, with a scandalous por- tion of potatoes, alum, composition- yeast, sea water, ike. robbing all baked meats at the rate ( usually) of two ounces in the pound—" burying dead men" ( viz. charging loaves never delivered), at tlie houses of the rich or the careless. But the deception of the private tradesman is a Iriflin matter Compared to the wholesale villainy of the Army Contract baker. Maton was employed a good deal in the contracting establishments which supplied French prisoners of war, and English garrison regiments. He unmasks the whole system of under- letting and re- letting the contracts, by which the person who actually supplied the bread, did it at a price that would have ruined him unless he had used the foulest adulterations! The consequence was, that the soldiers were incessantly complaining, and the hospitals were filled with men ill from eating this vile composition. James Maton denounced this wickedness to the military authorities: some enquiry was made; the truth of his allegations was established ; yet so exlensive was the. corruption, that nothing efficient was done, and Maton was got rid of by being sent out to Malta as army baker. There he was inconveni eutly strict in his inspection, and the local author ilies ( Sir Thomas Mail laud was then Governor) very sj^ edily re- shipped him to England, where he was left to get his bread as well as he could, in the teeth of a combination of master bakers gaiust him. GRAND NATIONAL REGATTA.— A grand an- uua! and national regatta has been decided on to commence next summer, upon a scale of magni- ficence worthy the present wealth, power, and nobility ofthe British Isles. That there should be a regatta worthy of the nation was carried unani- mously, but its details are not definitively arranged. If these peaceful contests bring forward the models of a Seppmgs or an Ingram— if they prefer seaman- ship, or diffuse a nautical taste among the Nobility and wealthy Commoners— then his Majesty and the Royal Yacht Club will have had the merit of founding these truly national games. The course will be the circuit of the British Islands, making Leith, Dublin, Plymouth, Portsmouth, and a few other stations, so many points for different heats. Fifteen or £ 20,000, stakes are spoken of; and when so many thousands are given annually to horse- racing, Mr. Hume himself cannot object to a liberal grant, to foster a naval spirit along the whole line of our coasts. A new Order of Merit is to he created—" The Lords of the isles;" and his Majesty has graciously condescended, as Grand Master of tbe Order, to become 64 The Sovereign Lord of the IslesThis Order, a step of pro- motion to be added by the Admiralty, and the solid complement of £ 20,00,0. stakes, must create a competition of talent never before developed in any age or country.— Morning Post. ridges.— The wheat was drilled on the llth and ;| 2th . of March.— The crop was forty Winchester bushels to the acre, and^ Ten gal- l •}<•;.,•.

It is, however, estimated at 34 Winchester bushels to the acre on three- fourths of the field, and 40 bushels to the acre on the remainder. The other field ( Hiscups), 17 § acres, has, durino- the whole of ihe six years, been treated in the same manner; has borne similar crops ; except that this year its crop of wl » eat seems to exceed that of the other field iu a considerable degree. Mr. Palmer always manures for the Swedish tur- nips, and never for the Wheat. When these two fields have Wheat, he has his Swedish Turnips in other fields. Every farmer will be able to judge of the increased fertility which upwards of six hundred tons of bulbs of Swedish Turnips, and two hundred Ions of tops, every year, would give to a farm of two hundred and fifty acres, which is the size of Mr Palmer's farm. It may be said, that Mr. Palmer is a clever man, and that his land is good. Both are true. But, there are thousands of clever farmers, and thou sands of farms of better land ; and I am deceived if there be any farmer in the kingdom who can boast of such produce. Aud ( not to lose sight of myself at last) so completely is this wonderfui produce lobe ascribed to my 44 Year's Residence," ihat not only had Mr. Palmer never put Swedish Turnips at wide distances before he read my book, but he had, before that, never grown a Swedish Turnip at all, in any manner to hate ver f Graphic Kaleidoscope.— An invention of great importance in the arts, and particularly in the bank- note engraving, has lately been perfected by Mr. William J. Slone, of Washington, in the United States, by which an endless variety of figures can be produced, in a manner ihat we believe to be inimitable. The best idea of the peculiar power: of this machine, is to compare it to a kaleidoscope, in forming combinations of the most beautiful figures that can be imagined,, They are formed of one continued line, crossing an° d entangling them- selves in the richest variety.— This apparatus is composed of two cylinders, on the surface of which levers are attached, with moveable fillernms, and as the cylinders pass and repass each other, they shift the fulcrnms in the evolutions, which give motion to another lever of singular construction, and to which a chisel is attached for cutting the figure. Nothing in the whole circle of the arts ap- pears to present such a formidable obstacle to forgery ; and we are assured, on the authority of the inventor himself, that no two machines of litis description can ever produce the same work.

SHAKING HAN DS.— At a lateduel in Kentucky the parties discharged their pistols without effect : whereupon one of the seconds interfered, and pro- posed that the combatants should shake hands. To this the other second objected as unnecessary, 4< For," said he, " their hands have been shaking this half hour," . CURIOUS AND NOVEL WAC. P" & lime ago, after a party of gentlemen, had dined together at a tavern in the Strand, a wager was offered by one of ihe company, that he would open two dozen of oysters quicker than any person pre- sent could devour them ; and that, by the time he had opened the twenty- four, six would remain UH- consumed. The bet was immediately accepted by a Captain B , and the whole party adjourned lo a neighbouring shell- fish repository, to decide the wager. Mr. Bo wen, the person who offered the wager, after selecting two dozen of the finest oysters from the man's stock, requested he would favour him with all the oyster knives he had in his possession, which, amounting to four, he put three in his pocket, and commenced operations with the remaining one; but after opening the oysters, instead of separating them from the shell, be left that feat to be performed by Captain B. who, not- withstanding the aid of his teeth, with the ad- ditional assistance of his thumb and finger, was not able to effect the devouring of more than eleven before Mr. B. had opened the whole of the " Natives"— thus losing the wager, which was for dinner and wine for a party of twelve friends of each, to take place on Mjc ha el mas- day, A young lawyer, being very assiduous in his attentions to a lady, a wit observed that he never heard of people making love by attorney " Very true," replied the olher, 44 but you should re- number Ihat all Cupid's votaries are Solicitors." When Dr. Samuel Johnson lodged at Kettle Hal', in the University of Oxford, at a Mr. Thompson's, a cabinet- maker, the maid, hy an unfortunate mistake, one day brought him a chemise of Mrs. Thompson's to put on instead of his own shirt. The Doctor, contemplating on nothing but Ramblers, and Idlers, and colossal Dictionaries, shoved his arms, head and shoulders, into the lady's linen, before he discovered his error. 4 Who has cut off the sleeves of my shirt ?' exclaimed the enraged and hampered moralist, with Stentorian vociferation— dancing and tug- ging, aud roaring for freedom This roar brought up poor Mrs Thompson, who, with the most consummate delicacy, shutting her two chaste eyes, slipped her hand into the room, and delivered her giant guest from his enchanted castle.— Literary Chronicle. Thirds of Passage. —- A worthy citizen of Milk- street left his books, counting- house, and the. smoke of London, to sojourn a lutle week with his friend in Hampshire; he amused himself with his gun, and brought down a brace of birds; these he dis- patched by the Telegraph to his friend H , of Bishopsgate street, w ho sent them to the drysalter in B'icklersbury, the drysalter sent them to Doctor D , Soho; the doctor, wishing to be well with his patient, sent them to the ri<? h Jew merchant of Finsbu. y; hence they passed to Finchley, the country- seat of a certain East India Director; back again to the City,; twice they travelled, from, north to sou th of Lpridon ; thrice they intersected the City from east to west, Hammersmith and Bendon, Tottenham and Tyburn ; ihey visited the wards of Candlewick, Dow gate, Farr'mgdonyand Portsoken. The money paid for carriage, porterage, donations, on account of these birds of passage, would have furnished a feast fit for an alderman. At length, when the honest citizen returned lo Milk- street, the first objects that, met bis eyes and saluted his nose were the identical two birds that be had shot a week before, just now brought him as a present from Mr. Deputy L , of Queenhilhe.— Eco- nomist p. ri rd published by •/.
