The following picture of her wretched state, at the close of her life, is transmitted to us by an eye- witness, Sir Robert Carey, afterwards Earl Of Monmouth, a friend of the dying Queen's, who had come to watch for the concluding pang, that he might be the first to communicate the' jovfui intelligence to the Scottish l^ mg. This he effected, by slipping out of the chamber of death the mo- ment after Elizabeth's expiration ; and, at ( he risk of his neck ( for he had a terrrible fall on the last day of his journey), riding post from Loudon to Edinburgh.* " When I came to court, I found the Queen iil- disposed, and she kept her inner lodging; yet she, hearing of mv arrival, sent for me ; I found h « r iu one of her withdrawing clta. nl. trs, sitting law upn. i her cushions.

She shook ine by . lie hand, and wrniiij Tt hard, and said,' No, Robin,' 1 am not well;' anil liien discoursed with me of her iuilispositinn, and that her heart had been sad and heavy forte., or twelve days ; and in her discourse she fetched not so few as forty or fitly great sighs. ] was grieved, at the first, lo see her iti this plio- jt; for in ali my life time before, I never knew her fetch a si^ b, but when the Queen of Scots was belieadeil. " I used the best words I conld to persuade her from this melancholy humour; bill 1 found by her, it was too deep rooted in her heart, and hardly to be removed. This !< as on a Saturday night; ainl she g- ave commandment that the o- reut closet sbouiil lie prepared for tier, to to chapel Hie next morning-. The next day, all thiiig- s being in readiness, we Ion's expected her coining, . yw eleven o'clock, one of . he grooms came out, and bade make ready for Uia private closet; she would not go to the great. There we stayed long for her coming; but at . tie las. site had cushions laid fur her in the privy chamber, hard by the closet door, and tiiere ^ he heard service. From . that day forwards she grew worse and noise. She remained upon her cushions four days and nighls at the least. / Jll abu. i'l her could not. per suade hut- either lu take any sustenance, or go to bed Historians and politicians have sought for the cause of this awful termination of Elizabeth's career in various externa) circumstances; such aa regret at her severity to Essex, and the discovery of his penitence by tile token of the ring, winch should have been delivered to i. e.- by the Coimiess of Nottingham; her secret anger at being obliged to pardon Tyrone; or the keen mortification with which the intrigues of her courtiers and ministers with James of Scotland corroded her bosom: but the christian philosopher will probably attribute her " mind diseased" to another origin— to the " rooted sorrow" of a memory," which dwelt on many an act of foulness aud of tyranny-, and lo " the written troubles of a brain," that could well exercise itself ... the comparison between duty and action: in the reflection of how much had been bestowed, anil how little had bee., effected; and in the calculation of chanccp for and against the enjoyment of that filial s( ate of bliss, " where only the righteous shall shine as the firmament of heaven, aud as the stars, for evpr aud ever."

J The Parliament of Toulouse ( in 1719) have been, and are still engaged in investigating an extraoj-.. dinary case, in which a considerable property is at stake. The circumstances are as follow : — A * youix » - nun. who had been some time enamoured of a gay- cavalier, icsolved on scaling the walls of the con- vent, to he united t<> her admirer. Love is violent even in the breast of one who wears a veil, and the young lady contrived a most ingenious' schpuie to accomplish her wishes. S: e acquainted the cavalier by means of a communicaiiou through the gratiuo-' that she had resolved upon breaking her bonds, and enjoying liheity with him. He supposed that Ibn resolution was never likely to be realized, inasmuch as there appeared so many difficulties thrown in the way. But vyhat will not love efi'ect ? She pointed out a spot, through her letters, where she would meet the cavalier on a ceitain night, directing him to have swift horses in attendance, and leave all the rest to her care. She acquainted hint that she wuulil execute her plan, and no one would ever know that j she had relinquished a religious life. It appeared in him a mystery h « w she could bring this a'> onl, and he was anxious to know the scheme she had in j agitation; hut of this she declared he must remain Ignorant until it was completed. One of her coui- I panious having died about that time, and hu\ in< r just beeii iutened, she boldly entered the tomb wheie the j) ody was placed, and conveyed it to her owti cell, where she placed it up « m tier couch, hav » n » * first put upon it some of her ( di'uhing.

An article from Constantinople, datud 11th of Sept. states, that a tremendous earthquake had , destroyed a great part of Jerusalem, ruined the Mosque of Omar, which stood on the site of Solomon's Tem pie, and entirely overthrown the.

From these Papers ii appears certain that the advantages gained by the Greeks at Sanies, have heen followed up by repeated victories over fhe Caplain Pacha-, who, after having beheaded several Captains of his fleet, has probably experienced the same fate himself', for the Constautinople article states, that two Hassegis had been dispatched by the Julian to put him to death.

Dublin'] this measure, two English frigates had actually sailed, and were to be joined by the Admiral's ship. This step is founded upon the refusal of the Greek Provisional Government to revoke a proclamation on their part, which enjoins their armed vessels to attack and destroy the ships and crews, to whom soever they may belong, which they shall find employed bv their enemies, whether as ships of war or transports; and some Englishmen having chartered their vessels to the Pacha of E$ ypt as transports, themselves and their ships have become liable to the denunciation, and it is to protect them that our Government has resorted to this measure of severity Letters from Gibraltar, dated Sept. 24, state that the very fine American ship Nancy, Captain Silbv, took fire on Sunday afternoon^ the 19th, ami was tofaily burnt, as also the cargo, consisting of: 5, SOt) barrels of flour, and a great many linen goods ; the cargo was valued at 50,000 dollars, or £ 10,000 sterling. She was to have gone on to Marseilles, and from that to the Chili. Private letters from Spain give the most fright, ( ol picture of the state of that country. At Valencia and Cordova there had been serious disturbances,, and it is even said that many French Koldie^ s have heeu arretted and imprisoned by the Royalist volunteers. The following is from The Brussels Oracle — " The population of Madrid has fluctuated in a most extraordinary manner within 20 years. Under Chatles IV it was estimated at 150,000 Spaniards, and 10,000 foreigners, who exercised there every kind of profession. During the reign of Joseph Bonaparte, the number of the inhabitants diminish- ed one- tenth ; but under the Cortes it, augmented. As things go at present, if the plan of expelling all the suspects be persisted in, that superb city will soon present the siience of the tombs. At this moment, according to the latest intelligence; it is said that Madrid has not more than 100,000 in- habitants ; but as the expulsion continues with an activity that continually iucreases, it is impossible sav where the evil will stop. Whilst the capital of Spain is depopulated, in consequence of private persecution and veng- eaiice, the population of Brus- sels increases daily ; and within ten years the aug- mentation has been considerable. Such is the dif- ference between a Constitutional Government and absolute power Th£ new Banking speculation of Good and Son established in f- Jythe a few months since, stopped payment on Saturday last, and although the public distrust never allowed their issues to be very ex- tensive, yet the ic is great reason to fear ttillt much Journal. It is stated that the scheme for convertinar the | concern of the Wet Ducks at Leitli into a Joint Stock Company has completely succeeded— all the j stock being already taken up. — Scotsman.

M.— Portsmouth Paper, AMKUICAN LITERATURE.— The publication of hooks is so much cheaper in this country than in Great Britain, that nearly all we'u.- » e are American editions. According to reports from the custom- houses, made under a resolution of the . Senate in IK' 2' 2, it appears that the importation of books bears an extremely small proportion to the American editions. The imported books are the mere seed. It is estimate id that between two and three millions of dollars' worth of books are annually published in the United States. It is to be regretted that literary property here is held . bt- an - in* perfect tenure ; there being no otIrev. protection for it than' the provisioiiK of an inefficient act of Congress, the impotent off- spring of an obsolete English statute. The induce- ment to take popy- righ. ls is therefore inadequate, and a large proportion of the- most valuable Ameri- can hooks are published without any legal title. Yet there were 135 copy- rights purchased from January The waggoner and the leading horse of a team belonging to Mr. Shaker, of Walton, in this county, were drowned on the 12th inst. in B. oc. kton Brook, which had been greatly swollen by the late heavy rains, and which the unfortunate individual, with the team, were endeavouring to pass through. GAMBLING.— The extent to which this vice is at present carried is truly appalling.

Fifty thousand copies of Mr. Weem's Life of Washing toil have been published, and mostly circulated in this way throughout the interior. Education, the sei- fihees, t! ie learned professions, the church, politics, together with ephemeral and fanciful publications, maintain the press in respectable activity.

The above may be viewed the Morning of the • Sale, at llie Castle \ nn Stables, from Riifht o'Cloek . to the Time of Sale, which will cott?; i) enc6 precisely at lileveu in the Fuj- enyot). This feeling- was ( jui(- vkly conveyed through the towns of Salford and ftlaochester. Multitudes' poured down to the fatal spot, and a scene , of dis- tress was soon presented of the most afflicting- character. Distressed relatives, frantic parents, w. ilh the brothers and sisters of those who were known to work in the factory , m. ing led their shrieks and cries in one•• coiiini1^ lamentation and inquiry for those whose safety absorbed their attention. A strong- body of active men were employed immedi- ately, at considerable hazard, as it was uncertain whether more of the building- might, not yet fall, in clearing: oil' the ruins under which about thirty persons were buried. But they pursued the work with undaunted resolution ; and at successive inter- vals of time, after a painful and arduous duty vvhjch occupied them from seven tp eight hours, they extricated the whole of the sufferers. From eight- een of them the vital spark was entirely fled ; aOcl of the others some were wounded grievously, others a lesser degree. Whatever succour could be derived from the most prompt medical aid they had the advantage of: a number of professional gentle- men had hurried do\ yn to the factory, and humanely administered to the parties, as they were released from their dreadful situation, every help that science and skill eould sug- gest. The dead hodi/ s were removed into a small building- within tl: inclosed yard of the factory, and presented one of ihe most appalling- sights that can be conceived Most of tliem were females in their very youth ; the rest were boys. Of the wounded, several were taken to Mr/. Taylor's," the Oldtield- lane Doctor as he is denominated ; and a few to the Infirmary We understand a chief part of them are likely to recover. When the Parents and Relatives of the deceased elajmeijand took away the bodies after the Coroners Inquest on Thursday, there was a re- newal of sorrow and affliction. It was a scene, we understand, of the most touching description — Among- st the circumstances connected with the orig'inal disaster were two of a singular nature : fine bov, who was seen underneath the ruins for full hour before he could be reached by the work men, and who had bfen buried for three hours, was by the providential falling of a heavy beam across his body, saved harmless : w'hen set on his feet', he almost direptly made the best of his way home without assistance. Another youth, who was in one of the upper stories of the building-, by an instinct- ive junjp upon a window sill, saved- his life : he was afterwards removed from his perilous situation b^ means of a long- ladder. The mother of one girl, on finding- her life \ yas sparpd, became frantic, with Great praise is due to Mr. Darbyshire, the Deputy; Constable of Salford, to the Special Gi » ns. ta bles, and to a strong- detachment of the Scots Qreyf for their seasonable and judicious conduct oh tli lametitable occasion. By this means order was preserved around the fatal site, and a confusion checked that, wouid have added to the horrors of the day. The deportment of the soldiers was igbly becoming and character is! ic> Occasionally, fears were renewed that more of the factory was falling-; indeed, there was g'reat probability of it and the sensation excited among- st the multitude of pectators by the apprehension caused a i u « h which was dangerous. The adjacent g round is roug- h, i has . many: intersections, with lodgements of water from the recent heavy falls of rain, into w hich several persons w; ere hurried by the sudden pres- sure, and many others were thrown down violently from the slipperiness of the clayey surface of the earth. The calamities which had been witnessed seemed to make those who we. e present susceptible > f the least alarm. Till the day was closed, re- newed crowds of anxious inquirers came in constant succession to see and hear all that couid, be known on the subject, We subjoin a correct report of aH'thf evidence which was presented before the Coroner and his Jury on this sad event, and of the verdict which was delivered relative to it. The public mind, which is deeply interested in it, will invt., we fear, receive that, degree of satisfaction from the inquiry which was anticipated. There are conflicting opinions as to the cant' of this tragedy; and we think it inig- ht he advantageous to society were an authenticated statement put forth upon the judge- ment of ' scientific meit. That, questions of law will arise out of it is probable. With those the Coroner's Court is not connected, but with the moral question, of the operative community of this ' mmense manufacturing station being- legitimately protected from the approach of danger during- their working- hours, ii has connection. If there has been any remissness, any oversight, in the construction of a hirg- e building' to which the lives and safety of hundreds of human beiug- s must be ' confided, any odium justly- attachable to the author of such a default should fall onthe culpable party. Those innocent of it should not suffer in public estimation, On that account, an accredited opinion is desirable. Very exagg- eratpd and unfounded notions have been eniertained upon the spot, and in general terms we may fairly counteract some of them, without asKuihing- to impugn any party. The factory is hnilt. upon the tire- proof priocip.' e,. wit}) c< ist- iroji beams and brick arches; the floors of iron, laid with flags. All these, of course, are heavy materials. It was planned,: we; uaderstami by Mr. Gough ; and in the centre of " each story is one supporting- pillar. A question has been raised . as to the. necessity of there being' two pillars in. each story. On the propriety of this question w. e can offer no- opinion. The brick and stone work in the erection was executed by Messrs, Bellhouse and Sons ; the iron- work by Messrs Bnwn^ an and Galloway, It is clear that tire calamity begun by a portion of the flooring of the sixth story of the building falling- in ; and from fii's story there descend" d, we are iur'or t?) ed, a weight of machinery, iron, and brick's, equal to 13 or 14 tons: thisaceu luulated in sn'ch'a ratio in its progress, that the total of the ruins was little less'thnu a hundred tons in the basement of the factory; On a careful exatnin ation of the iron- work which has been precipitated with this mass, the identical arm of the beam which supported the fifth door has been selected, and rhe fractured parts collated and compared. In tracing- these parts, we are informed that; there are manifest symptoms of au original ' defect.'- The brick and stone vvork of the building is secure. The sudden wresting- of the various beams out of it b. v the force of the aecideot luts caused partial obtrusions of the b. ick- work, but not so as to impair its' general stability. We heard a gentleman professionally eap. ahle of iu say, that were tIve whole of the iuterior of the factory to drop in, the walls would staltd , firm. All iron heamsv are usually proved before they are employed in a building, by the': application to theuj of. live limes'. ithe vveight they are in tended to sustain. Some have imagined'that The continued arduous operation of the steam engine: • had tended to loosen the walls, and disengage the iron beams, hi. it for this- assumption there- is uO ground. Some evidence to these points, which had been soijgdtt after for two hours on the moniiug of the lnqucfit,. caiue ton late for the Jury to have the advantage of it, we were sorry to hear. Mr. Joseph Buckley had recently become tenant, of part of the faclory, and will sustain considerable loss in the injury done to his machinery. There was some other part of it also snbtenanied. A small portion only, comparatively with the total interior of the mill,- is destroyed. ' We recollect no cireumstance of fatal casualty in which t he public ha ve so deeply sympathized as In . tli, is, and we hope it will be an occasion for their charitable benevolence. The inroads upon the means and comforts of many families, which must; he the consequence of this awful and sudden be- reavement, will be felt by thenv for a long tiiue^. and the succouring- hand of the wealthy and trie comfortable would be truly valuable to them.- rrA? public, subscript ion lias iieen prontp| l, v commeuceti. We. now proceed to the evideiiee< and the verdict? of the. Coroner's jury. It is thus officially detailed: On Wednesday morning a Factory belonging - to Mr. Gou^ h, in Mew Islington, -. Sal, ford, suddenly eame do « vu, vud the following- persons lost their lives Elizabeth Smith, jane Ashton, K4! en Ashtou, Elizabeth Wilson, James. Greaves, Htcb- mal Greaves, Rliznbe'h jHn » s, Ann Kay, Ann More, ton, Francis Smith, S- isaunnh. llambletion, Thomas Clarke, William K- insey, Catharine Scho- ( ield, and four other oVi- soes unknown. 1* On Thursday an inquiry took place ijefore Sir, Milne, after feeipg sworn, and viewing the bodies, the followiiigi evidence appeared.:. ^ '"•. -•. f> James Henry, a filer in the Cotton Mill of Nathao Gongh, situate in Sa 1 ford yfof^ said, being. sworn and examined, upon his oatjj, saith, that he has worked in the said Mill about s^ x months ; he d es not know how long^ the mill has been, built; Daviil Bellhousv's nien were at work laying- the floors hen he was there.— Yesterday morning, about nine orelock, he . was at work i n the fifth story of the said Millj and as he was going dowr\ s. tiijrs, and had got the sneck of the door of No. 5 room iii, his, hand, he heard the flooring of No. ( 5 rooiy give way : he did not stop to make any remarks, but j> o, t down as quick as be could : there were three men, t* Vo boysy and eXaminaut at work in No. & : sa> s the other floors went to the bottom, and a g- eneral con- fusion took place. Says if he must give his opinion, tf) ere was a de^ iency iti the building altogether* — Says the floor's were arched, had cast, iron beams, and a vvooden roof : in the cock- loft there was some cotton and a- bfou ing- machine. Says he has seen seventeen dedd bodies,. ineh, women, and children : says that during a dinner- hour last summer, he and several others who werfe eating their dinners ob- served that the building was not safe, as there was a crevice in the front of the ntill ; but it was not, as lie " knows of, mentioned to the proprietor. Says that when he went to Work there was a settling- in the mill, and there was a space between the flag and the wall. John Taylor, the overlooker in Nos. 2 and 3 in the said mill, being sworn, upon his oath saith, that he at different times has observed a settling- in different parts of the niill, which lie mentioned to Mr. Gotio'hhut Mr. Gough did not consider it unsafe, but merely the settling- of a new building*. Says he has seen several mills; their mill is the samp, expept that in some mills there are two columns, and in Mr. Gough's mill there is only one column ;. that bad there been two columns, he can- not say whether the accident would have happened or not: such colu. njns are usually placed to strength- en thp buildings. Nathan Gough, before mentioned, being sworn upon his oath, saith, that about two years ago David 6e)' ihorise jwvd Son buijt the above mill ; the fpitftd^ tiou ' is^ four bricks in length, find then to three1 briciVs the secon< l story ; then two and a } iaif to the fourth story ; and then two bricks until the roofis put on.- The mill is six stories high, and iiu attic room in the roof: the roof is of wood, in the usual way ; has cast- iron beams to each floor, arched with bricks, and then flagged : the iron- work was done by Bowman, Galloway, and Com- pany. Says lie always looked upon the building as isafe : he believes the accident has arisen from a flaw in the beam of No. 6 room : the beams were laid into the. wall from nine inches to twelve inches ; thesp beams, he believes, wfre all proved. Says the building is perfectly secure in all other respects ex'- ept the said beam. Says he has seen some set- tlings about- the mill, but nothing more than is usual in. new buildings. There might be about three ton weight of materials upon each beam. Says the ; said bean) was faceable in the exterior ; and a workman, to the best of b's judgment, could not perceive'any thing wrong-. Whereupon the Jury found a verdict to the fol- lowing effect, under the circumstances " That the sai. d deceased ( in each case) was killed on the tbirteehth ins. t;: ut by the accidental falling- of a (' ottoh Mill, iu Salford aforesaid, the property of Nathan Gough, as appeaj^ by the evidence to the . said Jurors'.'' Tlie' following interesting. Narrative proves the dreadful situation of one of the suHerers, who ulti- mately escaped with life, but much injured. John Beck, a mfchatrc, . and foreman to Mr. Gough, wit's at. work- in the room in NTo. 4 story. This room is Over the eng-' ine- liousf, and is not one of those whicii have been forced through^ but adjdins to one' that was. He was,. working, close to the doory when, he heard a tremendous rush : lie stepped outoi' - his work? room into the adjoining room, the scfne of destruction : the moment he had stepped into, it he was struck on the back of the head by p brick, and instantly covered by heaps of rubbish : the part of the tioor w here he was fortun- ately did not give way : he was thrown in aslant, jng position : he renjained, entirely covered with the bricks avid ' mortar," for about five minute^, and was nearly suffocated, having swallowed much fine mortar: » t leng- tb hp succeeded, with difficulty, in getting his head from under this mass of stuff, but could not move the great weight of flags and materials which pressed on his body ; . he, was in momentary . expectation of the remainder of the floor where he was giving way, and tl) aVbe should experience.- the fate of many . others in the ruins bp. f ow% rieks, a nd grofi ns e. d r'^ adf'il ' tb-: hear. In ttjis^ horrid situation he reuiaine< l, as he supposes, for nearly an hour, screaming for assist- ance. Two other men were in nearly the same situation. One of them, named James Lee, had fallen from the room above : Lee was yery sirena. ous in endeavouring to rescue himself from the ruins which covered him, and Beck was mtjch afraid that, liy this he might cause the reioainder of the floor to'give. way. At length a ladder was placed, ag- ailist one of t he w indows, and M r. Gough ippeared at it, and desired, it' any persons were the- e, they would cry out. Of course, the three persons, iu' this dreadful situation soon made it uowu that they were there. With some difficulty B'eck- was. freed, from the mass of stuff which covered him ; he was taken to the Good Samaritan Inn and bled, and his wounds were dressed. He has three wounds on the head, and his ancle is injured : he has had a considerable spitiing of blood mixed with powdered brick and lime, which he had swallowed ; one eye is much injured by the lime ; but he is, after . all j now* in a fair way of recovery.

THE ENGLISH STAGE COACHMAN — This very iiumprous and important class of functionaries have a dress, a maimer, a language, an air, peculiar tq themselves, atjd prevalent throughout the frater- nity ; so that, wherever an English stag- e- eoach- man may he seen, lie oaftnot be mistaken for one of any other craft. or mystery. He has commonly c. broad full face, curiously mattled with red, as if the blood bad been forced by bard feeding into every vessel of the skip : he'is swelled into jolly dimensions by frequent potations of iq. ili liquors'- and his bulk is still further increased by a multi- plicity of coats, iif which lie is buried like u cauli- flower, the upper one . reaching to his | teels. He wears a bi'Qad- brimuied low- onnyned bat, a huge roll of Coloured handkerchief about his neck, know, itlg'ly knotted and tucked in at the bosom; and has i; i summer- time q large bouquet of Hijwers in his hiitton- hole; the present, most probably, of some enamoured country lass. Ilis waistcoat is'contmmiiy of some brig- lit colour, striped ; and hissinall- olnlhes extend tar belnw the knees, to meet a pair of jockey boots which reach about half- way up his le" s. All this costume is maintained with much precision. Me has a pride in having his clothes of excellent materials : and notwithstanding ihe seeiqing gruss- ne. ss of his appeatniice, there is slill disperuible that neatness and propriety of person, which is almost inherent in an Englishman. He enjovs eat consequence and consideration along tiie road ; has frequent conferences with the village housewives, who louk upon him as a man of great trijst and dependence ; and he seems to have a go, id understanding with every bright. eyed country lass The moment he arrives where the horses are to he changed, he throws down the reins with something- of an nir, juid abandons the cattle to the care of- the hostler ; his duty being merely to drive tliein from one stage to another- When off the box his bands are thrust in the pockets of Ins great coat, and he rolls about the inq- yajd with au air of the most absolqte lordliness. Here lie is generally sur- rounded by an admiring throng of hostlers, '$ iahle- boys, shoeblacks, and those uauiel-. ss hangers- on that infest inns and taverns, and run errands, and do al! kinds of odd jobs, for t|) p privilege of b- it tell- ing on the drippings of the kit, elicit and the leakage of the tap- room. These, all look up tq him as an oracle; treasure up his cant phrases; echo his opinions about buses and other topics of jockey lore; and aljave all, endeavour to imitate iiis aiV and carriage.

Observations on the Effieary of White lViusturd Seed taken internally. good pnrpoff ; November, 1R- 22, he made a trial of the mustard seed . J t is remarkable,, that in a very few < iaj « after taking the seed, the pain entirely ceased, and has never since returned; The action ot the affected organs wns gradually, improved, diges- tion was restored, the bowels . resumed their functions, and at different times he was relieved by the dis- ehavyeof several small portions of gravel. Encou- raged by these ad uwi; i « es, he continued the use of the seed with inereased confidence. In November last, lie discharged wiih ease a large rugged, oblong, portion <. f gravel, and, to use his own language, his health is now and has hee^ for some time past in a state of wonderful improvement. When the seed is used merely as an aperient, and ! for accidental, or occasional costivenes*, it should be ken fasting, about an hour before breakfast; and, generally ^ peabing, a table* spoonful is the proper dose. With some const it nitons, however, a tea- spoonful is sufficient ; while others require a second or even a third table spoonful to be taken in the course of the day. When it is used as a remedy for the diseases and morbid symptoms above detailed, three doses should be taken in the day; the first an hour before breakfast, the second about the same time after dinner, and the third either at bed- time, or before, as may best agree with the patient. Those ho dine at a very late hour should take the second In the month of June, 1822, I made a trial of the white mustard seed merely as an aperient ; when the generally improved stale of my feelings, which soon followed, inclined me to give it credit for other medicinal, properties of a very beneficial nature. Under this impression, ! gave ii to smno of tbe siek poof in the neighbourhood, and w- iill a success which excited my astonishment. 1 have since recommended it in many cases, of which several were very dis- tressing. The result is such as to authorize a per- suasion, that the public, are not aware of its v<- ry extraordinary powers, nor of the very great variety of cases to which it is applicable, and that in orde to its adoption as a remedy for disease, its virlues require only to be known. In the white mustard seed are combined a valuable aperient, and an equally valuable tonic: and thus while it affords the mosl salutary .. and comfortable relief to the bowels, it . strengthens and invigorates, in a very remarkable degree, the whole line of the alimentary canal. For diseases therefore, and mor l> id symptoms connected with a disordered state of the stomach and bowels,- it is a very general. remedy And accordingly it has been found to succeed in tendency of blood to the head, in head- ache, weak nessof ihe eyes and voice, and hoarseness; inasthm: shortness of breath, wheezing, cough, and other dis Ircssiug affections of the chest; in indigestion, oppression after eating, heartburn, sickness, wind and spasms, cramp, and other uneasy affections of the st- unaeh ; in debility, uneasiness, pain and sense of tenderness and soreness in the interior, and parti eularly at the pit of the stomach, and in pain in the left s'ide and lower part of the body ; in deficient perspiration, gravel, scanty and unhealthy stale of the urine, and other mm hid affections of the skin and kidneys; in relaxed and irritable bowels, flatn » , fence, and occasional and habitual coslivenegs / rheumatism, lumbago, spasms and cramp in the body Or limbs, partial and genernl dropsy, palsy, coldness of the limbs and feet, loss of appetite, failure of sleep, weakness of nerves, depression of spirits, and general debility of the sysl. en-. In some species of gout and epilepsy, and in some diseases of the liver, the seed may probably he taken with advantage. It invariably expels worms both in children and aduhs, and not only the long round worms, but the small white ones also. It has been successful in a case of ague. A poor woman of the age of 77, had been puttering from a quotidian ague of at bast a fort night's standing, when she be<> au the mustard seed, taking two small lea- spoonfuls every three hours. The disease abated almost immediately, and in two days was entirely subdued. She had also for some years laboured under the consequences of a very weak interior, and bad suffered greatly from habitual costiveness, and extreme coldness in the extremities, and in the slof. iacb and bowels. Such was the sense of coldness in the interior, that'warrn tea and broth afforded no relief. After taking the seed for a fort- night, all these uneasy symptoms, with some others, disappeared, and she is now enjoying as good a state of health as is compatible with her advanced years. It is proper to add, that alter the ague bad been subdued, live seed was taken only three times in the day,— In April last, a labouring than became wet to the skin by exposure to a heavy shower of rain, and neglecting to change his chillies, he look a severe cold, which brought 011 a violent pain in the left side, with head- ache and excessive purging, lie remained in this state- for neat! y a fortnight, when lie took the mustard seed with the happiest effect. The distressing symptoms abated almost immediately, and in two or three days he was perfectly restored — The follow ing case deserves particular notice. A very respectable surgeon and apothecary, whom I have long known, a person of regular and ra: her abstemious habits, who during a period of thirty years had sustained the fatigue of an extensive country practice, with scarcely a day's illness, at the age of 52 was suddenly attacked with severe pain in the left side and lower part of the body. Supposing the pain to arise from cons'ipated bowels he had recourse to calomel, rhubarb, castor oil, and several other active aperients, Inn without obtaining relief. He then took an emetic, was bled largely in the arm, Used a hot bath, was blistered in the part affected, and lay for seventy hours in a most profuse perspi- ration. By this treatment the paiii gradually abated, leaving him however at the end of 4 days extremely Weak and emaciated. For the space of two years after, he had frequent and severe returns of the pain ; and bis constitution being' undermined, the stomach, liver, and kidneys became sensibly affected, and indigestion, constipation, and flatulence succeeded, witlwhe appearance of general decay. Having . con- sulted several professional men, and taken a great variety of medicines. during this period, but to no dose at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and third about an hour after dinner. The quantity ... ach dose must always be regulated by the effect produced on the bowels ; which are not to be purged, hut in every instance must he uniformly maintained' in a perfectly free and open state. The quantity, therefore, < n each individual case can be ascertained only by trial. The path nt should begin with a lea- spoonful in each dose; which he must afterwards imiiiish or increase, as the effect designed to be ) rod need on the bowels may happen to require With most constitutions two tea spoonfuls in 1 dose are found to he sufficient : while others require three times that quantity, or a table spoonful. In itne few case?, four doses in the day, each containing i table- spoonful, have been necessary, and have been taken without the slightest inconvenience. When this quantity fails ( a circumstance, however, which very rarely occurs), it will be proper to assist lhe opt ration of the seed with a littje Epsom salt taken the morning, as occasion may require, instead of the first do- e of, th** mustard seed. Where the patient is mtiebt troubled with, piles, if may be advisable to j relieve the bowels • occasionally will) a small tea- spoonful of^ nilk of sulphur, and an equal quantity ! of maonesia, mixed together in a little milk or water, | a ken at bed time, cither with or after the last dose of the seed. If not unfrequewtly happens that with I the swine patient the seed varies from time to time in its effect on the bowels; and whenever this takes place, the quantity in each dose should be reduced r enlarged accordingly. When it is taken for, the xpuisiou of worms, four doses should be taken in I the day, at equal intervals between each, and in such quantity as to keep the bowels in a state rather more I free and open than in ordinary cases. The seed is to fie s\ yallowed whole, and either alone, or in a j little water or oilier liquid, warm or cold, It should j be taken regularly every day without intermission, untij the disease subsides, or, in other words, until al< It is restored, as far as the age and circum- stances of the patient will admit: and in most cases it will be prudent to persevere in using it for some j weeks or months longer, with a view to the more effectual extinction of the former diseased habit, by 1 the establishment of a healthy one iri its stead. This | precaution however may not succeed in every case. When the disease has been of very long standing, 1 returns of it may occur ; but by having recourse to eed on such occasions., each attack will probably be less severe than the former, the intervals between them will be successively enlarged, and thus by degrees the disorder will finally disappear. The mustard seed is not only valuable as a remedy i for disease, but as a means of preventing it. Of its power as a preventive, a very extraordinary instance has occurred. A friend of mine had, for five or six years previous to the last, been regularly attacked with the hay- asthma in the months of June or July 1 in each of those years. The attacks were always I v iolent, and for the most part accompanied with some danger, And such was the impression made on his I constitution by the disease, and the remedies resorted to ( of which bleeding and blistering were the chief,) that each illness led to a long con tin erne nt to the | house, extending to a period of nearly three months In the early part of the last year, he resolved to I make a trial of the seed, in order to prevent, if pos- sible, a recurrence of the asthma ; and in the month of March in that year he bey an the use of if, and ( henceforward took it regularly every day without intermission; and the result was that he Escaped the disease. In November last he informed me, that | from the time when he first took the seed, his health I had not only never; been interrupted by illness of j any kind, but had been progressively improving; anil he further assured me that he did not recollect j that he bad ever enjoyed so goad a state of health as at that time. In further recommendation of the mustard seed it is to be observed that where the! patient steadily petseveres in the use of it, taking it at proper times and in quantity sufficient to keep the bowels in a perfectly free and uniformly open state : a complete cure, or at least, very substantial relief, may be expected as a result in the highest degree probable. As an aperient, it never weakens the | system, and has succeeded in many cases when the usual routine of opening medicines has failed. It I requires neither confinement, nor any particular attention to diet; and in the absence of decidedly inflammatory symptoms is always safe. A material ! improvement is generally experienced in the short space of three weeks or a month, and in some instances, in a very few days. In no case has it appeared to lose its effect by familiarity with the constitution ; on the contrary, as the disease has | abated, smaller doses have generally sufficed. A circumstance also which stamps a particular value upon it is, that bv strengthening the constitution, it j obviates in great measure the effects of sudden j exposure to cold, and is thus probably in no small j degree a protection against thai host of evils which flow from our very variable and uncertain climate. It seems peculiarly adapted both to infancy and old I age. It enables the young t* o contend with the | morbid debility frequently attaching to their tender yenrs, and it supports the aged under the pressure of infirmities generally annexed to declining life When taken by the former, it occasionally throws J out a considerable eruption on the skin; a result which has never failed to promote the general health of the child. Perhaps it may f be serviceable as an antiscorbutic and general purifier of the blood : and il may reasonably be questioned whether there xists a safer or more eff< ctual means of regaining strength, after the loss of it from severe illness. It is peculiarly calculated to meet the wants of the | poor. The labouring classes of society are almost I universally destined to hard work and scanty means of support. With them, therefore, the stomach and bowels very commonly lose their tone, and fail in the due discharge of their important functions; and! hence they have generally to contend with one or j more of the distressing disorders before enumerated, j for which the seed appears to be an almost certain remedy. It is nls<> a medicine extremely cheap, j taken with equal ease at home or in the field, and requiring neither confinement in the house, nor any alteration of diet. It is to he observed that there are constitutions which forbid the application of this remedy. Two instances have occurred, in which the high inflam- matory habit of the patients would not admit of a trial of it, although it was given in very small quantities. In one of these, a dose of only ten seeds produced an j irritation and degree of heat so great as to preclude the trial of a second. Generally speaking, however, j it excites no other sensation than that of a comfort able warmth, and in some Cases no particular sensa- ] lion whatever. I will close these observations by remarking that I there are peculiarities belonging to the mustard seed, which may perhaps in some measure account I for its extraordinary powers. It discharges a sort of j mucilage, which serves as a vehicle for its medicinal [ properties; and that this discharge is slow arid I gradual, is perceived by retaining* a portion of the J seed in the mouth for ten or twelve or a greater I number of hours, during which, a sort of mucilage is found to be incessantly flowing from it. When therefore the seed is taken whole, there is some I ground for supposing that its virtues are not ex- hausted in the stomach and pritnie via), but that they I communication, as the seed passes through it. And I it is also very probable, that the bowels are assisted I in the propulsion of their contents, by the mere I mechanical action of the seed thus taken in an entire ] and unbroken state. Mr. Blaquiere, who arrived in London 011 Mon- I day morning from Corfu, has brought the most] satisfactory intelligence of the success of the Greek I cause. The Turks have been defeated in every action, and when he left, 100 Greek vessels were in pursuit of the Egyptian Beet, determined to give them battle wherever they may come up with them. ne w tid Festival amount to £ 6,700; leaving a clear profit of £* 2,500, for the benefit of the County Hospital.

Great preparations are making in Westmorland for a renewal of the celebrated contest which took place at the last general election.

GAMING HOUSES.— An entirely new gaming concern has just been opened by a moiiied company of gamesters in South Molton- street, Oxford- street, upon the most extensive scale; and bids fair to rival, both in its embellishments and sumptuous entertainments offered to those who are to be plucked of their property, and robbed of their reputation, the most elegant and firmly established " hells" in St. James's- street and Pall- mall. To keep up its respectability, none but subscribers are j admitted. Ten guineas is the amount of snb- | scription.

Thomas Coombs, who has been in custody S . several weeks, on suspicion of being concerned in the rriurdtr of James Morgan, under- gardener to E. Goodhart, Esq, of Langley- park, Beckenham, j on 15th August, was on Tuesday finally examined ; | when further evidence being brought forward, the prisoner was fully committed for trial. Mr. Bidder, the Devonshire youth, who was so | much admired for his original powers of calculation, and who has been since educated at Edinburgh, is I appointed to a situation in the Ordnance depart- ment, under Major Colby, and is to accompany him, as we are informed, to Ireland, on the trigo- j nometriea! survey of that kingdom. Novel Case of Removal under the Poor Lav s. I — An application was made at Mary- le borqie Office, a few days ago, by the officers, for the removal of an elderly female and her son, who had become chargeable under the following curious j and uovel circumstances :— The r^ other had resided ; for some time in the parish of Ma\ y le- bonne, but i had a sou, 32 years of age, who was maintained by her in an asylum for lunatics in Herefordshite, The son had obtained no settlement in his own right, and the mother, from a reverse of circum- stances, became unable to pay, without assistance, the expenses of his maintenance, and consequently applied to the parish. Having in this manner become chargeable, the parish applied to have her ; and her son removed, contending that, as he had I gained 110 settlement in his own right, he was I bound to follow that of his mother.— After some ! consideration, the Magistrates agreed to sign the j order of removal, which, at the same time, they i observed, must be regarded as an experiment, as they knew of no case analogous to that now brought before them.— The novelty in the present | case is, that the son is of that age in which, in ordinary cases, the parents are not liable for his support, and the question was, how far the fact of his being in a state of idiotcy affected this general law ?— The removal was made to St. James^ parish, j by whom it will be contested. BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY.- j The auxiliary and branch societies and bible asso- I ciations in the British dominions are— Auxiliaries, | 30- 2; branches, 622; bible associations, about2000 5 r total, 2924. Of these associations above 500 are conducted by ladies. The society have issued in Great Britain 1,544,352 bibles and 1,897,980 testaments r in foreign parts, 178,899 bibles, and I 631,134 testaments ; making a total of 4,252,305 The Society has granted £ 45,750, for distributing I on the Continent bibles and testaments in the French, German, Swedish, and Danish languages ; I tiie number of which may be estimated at 300,000. which increases the issue of bibles and testaments I to 4,552,365. In foreign parts, the number of j bible societies in connexion with the British and Foreign Society is upwards of 1000; making the number of societies 3942. The foreign bibb societies have distributed 1,281,269 bibles, and 1,110,045 testaments. The printing, translation, I and distribution of the scriptures has been pro moted by the British and Foreign Bible Society, either directly or indirectly, in 140 languages and [ dialects. The river Yokulsa, in Iceland, is crossed in the I following terrific manner. Two ropes are sus- j pended from the edge of the precipice on either side, on which a basket or wooden box is hung sufficiently large to contain a man and an ordinary j horse- burthen. Into this box the traveller must [ descend, and pull himself by the means of a rope, I over the yawning abyss; while, owing to the loose. I ness of the main ropes, the box sinks with rapidity till it reaches the middle, and threatens, by the sudden stop it there makes, to dislodge its contents j into the flood. The principal danger, however attends the passage of the horses. They are driven into the river a little higher up; and, if they do not swim to a certain point formed by the projection of a rock, they are precipitated over a dreadful cataract, and lost. Amongst ail the productions and inventions of | human wit, there is none more admirable and useful than writing ; by means whereof a man may copy out his very thoughts, utter his mind without opening his mouth, and signify his plea i sure at a thousand miles distance, and this by the I help of twenty four letters, and fewer in some places j bv various joining and combining of which I letters, all words utterable and imaginable, may I be framed. For the several ways of joining and I combining these letters do amount, as Clarius the Jesuit, has taken the pains to compute, to 5852616738497664000 ways- so that all things that are in heaven or earth ; that are, or were, or shall be; that can be uttered or imagined, may be expressed and signified by the help of this mar- I vellous alphabet, which may be described in the compass of a farthing.

[ FROM DUPUIS' ASH4NTEP.,] The voracity with which they surprise their prey and assail liitn at all vulnerable points, exceed* that of locusts, when they alight in a field of corn : for when once the attack is commenced, no hodily effort of the victim will avail him. Flight is gene- rally impotent, unless it should lead him to a pool, when a natural instinct, occasioned by the burning- > ain, induces him to plunge into the water. Tins cind of ant, say the Ashnntees, is not only the plague of all other animals, but also of every class of their own species, and of the red ant in particular. II I may be indulged in a whimsical comparison, I will suggest a resemblance between these diminu- tive freebooters and the Arabs, who, alike mi- gratory, rove over the surface of the country, and establish a temporary residence where it meets their views, often to'tbe terror and in defiance of the neighbouring towns. Thus the block ants in myriads will iiace a particular course, and pursue that track in exact and thick embodied file, over an extent perhaps of miles, until they fix upon a spot to their liking, where they erect liltle conical habitations, '. which may be saiil figuraiivelv to bea, r a similitude to the Aiabiau tent, both in colour an4 form. The red ants, on the contrary, raise solid mnunds of clay, w hich are cemented with a mucila- ginous substance that binds the parts together in an indissoluble incrustation, and bids defiance to. any violence short of the pick- axe. The intrusion of the black ants is thus effectually prevented ; but whenever their entrenched party venture abroad, or are observed in repairing and augmenting their habitations, which they frequently do, a chase, ensues, and thousands become the victims of their opponents, who sometimes force an entrance even into the nest itself. I was present once when a hillock was perforated in order to obtain what is commonly termed the Queen, or mother ant, which is an unwieldy insect, two inches in length, and one in circumference, formed in head and slioulders like the common ant, with a white body like that of a maggot. This insect resides in a separate cell, at the very foundation of the hillock, and is said to be gifted willi such inexhausiible fecundity as to bring forth its myriads in daily and unceasing repetition. The act of cutting through the surface was laborious ; but that effected, tlie earth crum- bled as it usually does. The cells resembled those of the hornet, and were generally in diagonal rows, but without orde or regularity." The labour was ultimately attended with success, in tie discovery of the " queen mother." During ihe process, the red ants fled in all directions, and vainly endea- voured to recover tlnir cells, while they were issaulied by a troop of black ants, who, in despite of a vigorous resistance, devoured their prey on the spot, or carried it oft'between their nippers. The block ant, it is said, will fearlessly attack any animal, not exempting mankind ; biit particularly infants, whom they frequently destroy and devour. The panther is not too strong for them to cope w itli •' the rat is not too subtile, nor the squirrel too active ; vigilance and force are equally unavailing. They will even, as the Ashantees report, seek the abodes of serpents, and entering their holes, allow the reptile no chance of escaping. Tii « hanging ursts of small black ants were also very numerous in ti e trees, where, it would appear, they choose their abode as a security against attacks of the universal enemy." ENGLISH COMMERCE. [ From the Cnvsiitu'tinvnel French Paper.) The rapid increase of English commerce wiihin x century is one of those political phenomena which deserve to be studied. It furnishes matter for useful reflection to those who govern as well as those who are governed— to statesmen as well as to individuals. All that Tyre, Cartilage, and Koine, in Ihe ancient world, and Spain, Portugal, und Holland, in the modern, had attempted in vain, has been accom- plished h\ England, A single glance over the map of the world is sufficient lo convince us (; f the im- mensity of Ihe relations of Great Britain. Mistress of every sea, she touches at the same tiuie evety continent as if by advanced posts, but her commer- cial activity extends still further- than her political empire y she overflows every where beyond its limits, opnaies upon every point of the habitable globe, aurl aspires, in some degree, to the riclies of the whole world. It. is curious to observe at each epoch the influence of the political situation of Great Britain, as to it* relations with foreign powers, upon its commercial prosperity. Thus years of peace present very dif- ferent results from years of war, and treaties of commerce produce a remarkable rise in tiie balances. Let us take a' first, for example, the relations of England with France. In 1698, a year of peace, the importation into England was £ 48,806, and its exportation £ 61,441. In J702. a year of war, the importation was increased to £ 76,173, but the ex- portation did not exceed £ 12,838. The most remarkable years of our commercial relations with Great Britain are as follows 1737, when the importation of French merchandize a- mounted to £ 108,452, the exportation of English merchandize to £ 395,197, Europe being then in pro- found peace; 1765, when the importation amounted 10 £ 187,535, and the exportation to £ 283,225: the treaty of Paris between France, England, and Spain, was signed in 1763. After thai time the commercial relations of the two former countries acquired a rapid increase. In 1790, France exported to Euo-. land the value of £ 605,371, and imported from that country to the amount of £ 872,325. In 1702, Eng- land imported £ 717,634, and exported £ 1,228,165. Afier that period down to 1823, tiie greatest amount of the exportation from England to France was £ 2,390,103, which took place in 1802; ihe greatest amount of exportation from France to England was £ 1,137.754, and took place in 1818. li we now refer to the general amounts of English commerce with all parts of tfie world, including Ireland, the fisheries, & c. we shall find that for the year 1823 alone, it rises to the enormous sum of £ 40,415,248 of imports, & to £ 56,232,663 of exports. It is remarkable that the exports from England almost uniformly exceed the imports, a fart, which of itself demonstrates the superiority of English commerce. Our object, is- not to exalt our rival, hut to exhibit her such as she is, in order to excite our emulation. Nor is it to be supposed that France figupp^ amonof the nations for the highest sums in these balances. Prussia exported to England in 1805 the value of £ 2,220,231, and Belgium alone to the amount of £ 2,162,756, in 1824. As to Russia, her commerce with England is immense. In 1822, she exported to England ihe value of £ 2,555,423; in 1820, England exported to Russia the value of £ 3,668,283 Portugal also exhibits a balance sufficiently considerable, particularly in the years J799, 1801,* 1803, and 1810; after ( his year she has declined as to exports ; but by way of compensation, the Portuguese have im- ported British merchandize in 1811 to the amount of five millions, and in 1822 to the amount of £ 2,659,545. The difference in the Custom House tariffs between England and several other nations sufficiently explain all this. ^ Mecklenburg and the Hanse Towns must also consume a great quantity of English merchan- dize. The sum total of imports by these countries, in 1822, for example, was £ 9,038,536. It is true, Hanover 19 included in this. In 1814, Belgium im- ported to the amount of £ 8,875,701. We need not proceed further with these observa? tions ; it is enough to add, that according to incon- trovertible data, English commerce has been augr mented tenfold within a century. Travels.

MANUFACTURES.—- A merchant of Gottenburg , has invented a machine which can manufacture j 10,000 nails in a minute. A patent has been j granted to this mechanic, hose'name is Umgewitz j CANTERBURY.— We have, within these few dayK » seen some specimens of silk, produced from the manufactory of Mr. Pettit, silk weaver, of this city. In addition to the" fine texture and beautiful colour, these silks possess the inestimable j advantage of keeping their colour to the last, with- ! our spotting; or upon the exposure to damp weather, assuming that rimp and flabby appearance, which silks manufactured by steam invariably show when exposed to a damp atmosphere* by which their beauty is entirely destroyed. We are happy to find that the ladies of Canterbury awdtts vicinity, aie affording that. patruuage; to fferln- genious manufacturer, which his skill'an< f per- J severance so justly entitle him to. . We- understand j Mr. Pettit has now twenty looms in f « * lf ^ mjiloy, and all that he can manufacture is readily taken off by the London houses, for sale among the fJaut \ ton. Indeed, whoever has seen them will not fail io perceive the striking difference between these 1 silks and those produced from the large steam manufactories. When we reflect upon the con- tiguity of this city to the metropolis, the great mart of the silk trade, and the increased facility which the. improved navigation of the Stour will afford, we look forward with confidence to the I period when Canterbury will become as famous for its silk manufactories, as it once was for its Canter- bury muslins.— Kent Herald. ENGLAND ANI> FRANCE-- The prosperous condition of, our country is not less a source of proud j 1 ongratulation at home, than of astonishment to our j continental neighbours. Throughout the most ardu-.| ons contest recorded in the annals of warlarc— at j one time opposed by aM Europe, Great Britain nn- j aided and uuayied, . maintained the fearful odds, J and eventually became the liberator of an immense J Continent— a great quarter of the globe, compared J to which, our Inlands stood like victims.; before the 1 car of Juggernaut,— But ihe prowess— the" undaunU I ed courage, of our soldiers, win. in suffering could not J di press— danger dismay-* or superior force subdue— j triumphed over all, and won for the world the solid J blessings of peace and liberty. Achieved, as this J great work has been, not merely by a vast, though j inevitable sacrifice of. human life— but by an incai- J onUible expenditure of public treasure, all nations I looked on, and stiil look on, with wonder, as the in- j xhaiistible wealth of out country is every day made J iriore manifest, unimpaired by the lavish draining of j twenty perilous years, and still " growing at its I growth," and every hour accumulating. Our inter- J nal resource-* are beyond ihe bounds of human cal- J eolation, and the ominous forebodings that made a I slate of peace unwelcome at its first approach, have j now givc- 11 w ay to the cheerful certainty that England never enjoyed more happy days, or days of such j general contentment.— We are now in the ninth year J of tranquillity, with a commerce as flourishing as J can be desire;!— with a revenue annually increasing j — and with the faitest prospects of solid national I happiness, under the.. auspicious reign of a sovereign j to whose wisdom and determination we owe all our j present good, and all our future hope.— The rivalry j that has throughout long ages existed between our j 00uiitry and France, has been beaten to tb£ gTOUttd I by the generous reception afforded to the Prinzes of j that laud in the day of their clouded fortune. The j death of the late King. Louis XVI!!. was an event so J much lo be expected— and for his own sake so much J to be desired, as a relief from the most painful state j of suffering, that our attention was directed rather! to the effect produced by the succession of his brother, I than to any comment upon the close of a reign, the J impending troubles and anxieties of which, must J have embittered the closing years of a life so full of j vicissitudes Charles X. has already won his way to I that popularity which gracious acts can alone attain. J Me has begun to rale mercifully, wisely, and, of f course, popularly.— He has learned,— and does not j disdain to avow the knowledge— that jj " Sweet are the uses of adversity; !• Which, like a toad, ugly and venomous, j Wears yet a precious jewel in his head." J . The removal of tlie censorship imposed on the press J j — the most odious of all despotic acts in the eyes of a | people who Understand the true value of liberty— is [ a measure, in itself alone, calculated to raise him I myriads of friends— and the amnesty granted lo all J Frenchmen charged with assisting Spain in the late j war of aggression, is worthy of Henri Quatre.— It is J worthy of remark, that for nearly two centuries not one of the kings of France was succeeded by his own j son. I. ooN . XIV". was succeeded by bis grandson I Louis XV. then in the fifth year of his age— who in j his turn was succeeded by his grandson Louis XVI. [ w ho, in the line of legitimacy, was succeeded by his j brother Louis XVIIL to whom his brother the Count I D'Artois, now Charles X. succeeds, who in the course [ of nature, it may be presumed, will be succeeded by J Ihe Duke D'Angoulenie ; who has himself no son, or j probability of issue— arid , the crown may even yet descend from Charles to his grandson, the Duke de j Bourdeaux. j J The ruin or prosperity of a State depends so J much upon the administration of its Government, j that to be acquainted with the merit of a Ministry j we need only observe the condition of a people.

CHESHIRE WHIG CLUB.— The anniversary I dinner of this club to « > k place on the 11th inst. Sir J. I T. Stanley, chairman. About eighty members sat I down ;. among whom were Mr. Madoeks, M. J5. Vice- r Chairman, Lord Crewe, Mr. Toilet, Mr, It. Leicester, , V,. I\ Mr. J. Williams, M. P Mr. G. Wilbraham, and Col. Hughes, M. p, nearly all of whom addressed the J meeting. — lu the course of the proceedings, Mr. I Swaowick, the Secretary, read ihe following " Be- I deration," which had been agreed to by the members j as containing a summary of the principles of the 1 club:— I " This Association was formed to foster and main- J tat 11 the principles of the glorious revolution of 1688, j and was called a Whig Club, With reference to the I bold and enlightened men who tried to remedy the J political abuses of that day. | " By the Bill of Rights it was declared, that J Parliaments ought to he held frequently, and that I elections of Members of Parliament ought to be free. I " By the 6th of William and Mary, the utmost 1 extent of time that the same Parliament was allowed J to sit, was three years. By the Act of Settlement it ] was ordained, that no person who lias an office, or place of profit, from the King, or receives a pension j from ihe Crown, shall he capable of serving as a j member of the House of Commons, which was sub- j sequent! j modified by acts of Parliament passed in j the reigns of Queen Anne arid George I } Here, then, the most timid have before them 1 principles < » f reform, which may be . carried into j 1 effect, simply by reverting lo past measures of tried J | utility, which formed the law and constitution of the j j land during the best portion of its history. | " Without, therefore, in the least presuming to lay j down any dochine as to the means of obtaining the J only legitimate mode of all reform— an upright ad- j ministration of affairs, or pretending lo define the | exact limits to which each particular measure should I be extended, or to determine whether the adoption I I of some may not supersede the necessity of others, it j appears tlia- t the best security against ihe evils we j j complain of will be found in some such measures as j I the following :—• j " First, that Parliaments should be elected more I frequently. i I " Secondly, that inefficient and subordinate place- J men be excluded from the House of Commons. j I < k Thirdly, a more expeditious and less expensive 1 mode of voting at elections. 1 Fourthly, a more full and equal representation ' I of the people in Parliament, and such an extension J of the elective franchise in boroughs and large towns, I as their increased opulence and intelligence may I justify and require. I " The club considers these measures to be in strict I conformity with the recognized principles of the J constitution, and to involve no risk1 except of those I abuses which every friend to his country would wish j corrected, and which even their most zealous advo- j cates are unable to defend, I Finally,, the main use of this and similar associa- I tions is to keep alive the old free spirit of the country, J and to collect the scattered friends of rational liberty j under such a bond of social union as will encourage I independent men to speak their minds freely upon I public occasions, ensuring the toleration, if not the J propagation, of liberal principles; and above all, to I secure, whenever sufficient cause arises, and in spite I of the obstacles which faction and legislation have I imposed on its exercise, a continuance of the in- I estimable right of meeting and petitioning the Legls- I iatur ® ." — — VSFSB^— By accounts from Madras, received on Monday by way of Bombay, it appears that the cholera morbus had been extremely fatal there, in the latter end of May and the beginning" of June. Among the persons of note who had fallen victims to it, were Edward Wood, Esq. Chief Secretary to the Government ; the Hon. Sir Wiilingham Frankiin; John Douglas White, Esq. senior mem- ber of the Medical Board; and Mr. Binny. By the. 8th Of June, which is the latest date from Madias, the virulence of the disorder had abated, no case having occurred in the preceding three days. Sir Christopher Puller,. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Calcutta^ died in that city, of the same fatal malady, 011 the 19th of May, being no more than five weeks after his arrival at the I Presidency. He had presided in the Supreme I Court, at the hearing of a case, on only one 1 occasion. At Calcutta, however, much of the judicial business is transacted before him in the shape of petitions. Sir Christopher Puller had sat two weeks at Chambers, in his turn, as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, when the facility and readiness of his dispatch <> f business excited observation, and gave a favourable impression of his character. We can state, upon good authority, that the French Government is at present occupied in examining the documents relative to the indemnity claimed by the Emigrants. Until the necessary sum for the liquidation of those claims can be distinctly ascertained, no financial measure, for next year, connected with the reduction of the J Rentes, can be determined upon.— Courier.—[ It J appears that national property is not very valu- able in France* from the fear that at some future j time the original proprietors may obtain possession I of it; but if an indemnity is granted out of the I Treasury, of course this pvopei ty will be as valu- J able as other estates.} The sale of his Jloyai Highness the Duke / of York's fine estate at Oatlauds, is effected. Mr. j Hughes Ball has become the purchaser. This fine property, it is said, has sold for a sum of £ 150.000, and about £ 30,000 valuation of the I timber. The Duke of Buckingham has purcl a ed from Mr. Farquhar the. valuable estates in Bucks, lately belonging to Mr. Coke, situate at Hillesden, Buckingham, and Preston Bissett, with valuable 1 church preferment in those places. On Friday last, the ceremony was performed at , tlie Rev. Rowland's Hill Chapel, Blaekfriars- road, of baptizing three youths, natives of the island of Madagascar, who were sent over to this country about six years ago, by the King of that island, for the purpose of being educated in the principles of the Christian Religion.— The ceremony was preparatory to t.' eir leaving England for Mada- gascar. <) n the 17th ult a winged insect, about the length and thickness of a man's finger, and agree- I ing with the description given of the locust, was caught alive in a field of wheat, at Low Waskerly, riear Slioticy Bridge, and is now in the possession of Messrs. Forster th^ re. | Upon one farm, Mr, Howard's, of Troy, near Rickmansworth, we learn that the water courses ( the value of which consists chiefly in the water- cresses they produce for the London Market) are let to William Bradbury, on a lease of 21 > ears; and that he pays for the same, as tithes, to the Vicar, annually, £ 5. 5s.— a sum which, it is sup posed, is not more than one- fourth of what the tithes are actually worth.— Bucks Chronicle. Last week, Mr. B. Rowley, a surgeon, of j Barnsley, had engaged to drink a quart of brandy J in two hours, and afterwards to walk home per- I fectly sober. As if confident of success, and quite unconscious of the effects that would follow, he I drank upwards of a pint in a few moments, and J instantly fell, and expired.—£ eeds Intelligencer. J A person in a very respectable station in life, in j this county, last week, engaged to drink sixteen glasses of spirits, or brandy and water, at one j sitting, on condition that his friend would pay for J them, or, in case of failure, to pay for them I himself. He had drank nine or ten, and upon I being questioned if he thought he could get I through the whole, he wickedly replied that he I would, or he would go to hell; which he had I scarcely uttered before the messenger of death I closed his mortal eyes in never- ending sleep.— 1 York Chronicle. ; GLASGOW COTTON- SPINNERS.— The cotton- | spinners still hold out and seem determined to persevere in the same course. So strong is the system of terror, as we are informed, established over the minds of those associated together, that no individual of the number dare be seen speaking to any of the clerks and other superior servants in the employ of their former masters. This day they are to have a public meeting on the Green, for what purpose we have not heard. People are rushing from all parts to the spot this forenoon, and we are much afraid that such assemblies will ultimately end in mischief. Our Reporter is afraid to go near them, as last day he made the attempt I he was threatened to be stoned. They apply to I every class of operatives, and they will perceive j that if they will neither work nor allow others to I work here, that there are other countries where I work may be carried on, and other operatives who I will thankfully undertake it.— Glasgow Courier, I October 7. UNION OF THE THAMES AND MEDWAY.— ; The grand union between the River Thames and Medway will be effected very shortly, by means of j the largest tunnel, we believe, in the world. This I great public undertaking- commences immediately I from the Port of London, below Gravesend, where I there is a large river lock capable of admitting vessels of * 200 tons into a capacious basin, with I commodious wharfage. The canal, which is fifty 1 feet wide, and seven feet deep in water, passes I through the marsh lands to the village of Higham, I a distance of nearly five miles, where the tunnel I begins, which is twenty two feet wide on the water j level, and eight feet deep at spring tides, tweuty- 1 four feet six inches high from the water surface to j the apex of the arch, with a towing path five feet I wide, firmly protected by means of a cast iron and timber railing. The tunnel continues under the I chalk bills for a distance of upwards of two miles, where it terminates in a very large basin, com- I manded by a lock entering into the River Med way, J and capable of receiving vessels of 300 tons. The whole length of this canal, from the River Thames 1 to the Medway, is only 7j miles; and by this very j short line all the circuitous, tedious, and, often I times, dangerous passage round the Nore is avoided, I thereby saving a distance of at least from forty to { fifty miles. Thus the communication from the J interior of Kent with the North of England is made j easy, safe, and at a comparatively trifling expense, j with the advantage of a more certain passage, as well as a considerable saving iti wear and tear of j sails and tackle, & cf This important line also 1 opens a communication from Tollbridge by means I of the Regent's and Grand Junction Canals lo Branstone in Northamptonshire, for the same sized j craft, without any trans- shipment of goods, which J may be forwarded to any of the Northern ports ol I England. Cratt from seven to eighteen feet beam , I can navigate the whole line, which it is obvious 1 will secure to inland commerce incalculable advan- . I tages. J ABRIDGEMENT.— Two men were killed, and I two boys dreadfully injured, by the falling of a wall J near Waterloo Bridge, on Monday week, which I wall they, with others, were employed in pulling I down.— Mr. Sadler's Balloon is stated to have hillen i I in the German Ocean.— Two sifting- houses at the 1 powder mills at Papamow, near Allabahad, East j Indies, blew up on the 15th April, by which nearly • 1 forty of the workmen were k) led !— The sect, who , j practise the rite of circumcision, by which a child ' I has been slain at Ashton- under- Lyne, are stated to ' I be followers of the doctrines of Johanna Southcott. » | — Lord Charles Murray died at Gastonni, in Greece, " J on the 11th of August.— Fifteen foreign pirates, who ) I had butchered the crews of several merchant ves- ? I sels, have been sentenced to death - at Kingston, ? I Jamaica.— St. Petersburgh is stated to contain - I 300,000 inhabitants.— Exclusive of great fines, con- - I tinually falling in, the corporation of the . city of I London has an annual revemte of £ 150,000.
