Ion pon— satuh day, The, Pari* papers slaW lhat Fe'idiiiaiid IV. Jvion of Ihe two Sicilies, is dead. His son Francis I un fifcernding thetirooe, issued a decree con. filming all ihe,. existing' authorities ill their re- spective functions Sonic t'. f our . cotenipoinries have been sending . Sir Charles Stuart, us a resident Ambassador Extraordinary Jo ihe Colli! nf - Briigil! We under- staud, however, lhat his- Excellency is likely to proceed lo lhat country, iu a shoit time, ou a Special Slission ourier. Mademoiselle Gui'iierin ascended in a ballooh oil the VOIii nil, at Rome, and came down in a parachute. ' 1' iie spectacle excited a lively interest in lhat city. , I he Duchess of I. ticca and her soli, together with the Ambassadors at the Papal Court, were among. Ihe spectators. It was mentioned in ihe Papers some time ago that an officer in Ihe Scotch Greys,- at Manchester, had been put under arrest by his commanding officer, for giving a toast obnoxious to regular discipline:— the toast being given at Mess. ' I lie offending officer was Major Spoouer> a senior M/ tjor, and one who Was likely to be very soon made a l. feijt.- Colonel, and tile superior officer was Mr Thomas Pale Hankin, who was knighted on tbe occasion of the King going to Ireland, and who appears in the annual list of the War office, with u \ V." before his name, signifying that be has " tile Waterloo medal, asoneof the officeis actually preterit in either of Ihe actions of the 10th, 17th, (> t 18th of June) 1815." The regiment also, as an honorary distinction, is entitled to have " Waterloo" nn its colours. The offensive toasl ( the wgrds of which have not publicly transpired) was uttered before Sir T. P. Hankiu, by Major fipooner: aild be was warned not to. repeat it, or to lie more guarded. He aflerwaids repeated it to . Sir T, P. Haukin iu the presence of two officers also belonging: to'the regiment,, and who were, of com so, the Commanding Officer's, witnesses. Thereupon Major S. was put under arrest, the Complaint was forwarded to Head quarters, and every arrangement ( the King's sanction thereto having been received) was made for the trial by Court Martial of Major Spooner for the said offensive toast. Previously, however, to the commencement of Ihe Court Martial, Major Sponner was allowed to sell oul ; be disposed of his Majority, quilted the service, and thus superseded the necessity of any Courf Martial. Before this affair happened, it was un- derstood tiiat there was every prospect of Major Spooucr being made a I. ieut.- Colonei in the course of a few weeks.; but all were sacrificed, it would seem, for a loast," which is not known beyond the parlies, aud, of course, the Goveitimenf depart menls. A report has been widely spread, and from high authority, lhat Government have it ill contem-. plat ion entirely to withdraw the present Corn Laws in Ihe ensuing session.

Coroner, on view of tiie body of Thomas BtnyliCy. It appeared lhat the deceased, who was a labourer iu the em ploymeut of Mr. Gouglij of Gravel Hill, near this town, had been missing since early in the morning of Monday; he bad been ill aud in a desponding way some time; nud nl 8 o'clock at night several persons with ligbls went to look for him. Alter two hours active search, lie was found lying dead in a field in the occupation of Mrs. Croft, of Cotton Hill, having cut his throat with a razor.— The Jury, under therircnihstanccs detailed to them in evidence, relumed . a verdict of « Insanity." The deceased bore a very good character, and has left a widow and six children.

SALT.— The Magistrates, at our late Quarter Sessions, fixed Ihe price of Salt as advertised in a subsequent column— It will be seen, from the following paragraph,* that Salt at Droitwich is cheaper Ihan Coal in Shrewsbury t ' File Sail Duty having entirely ceased 011 Wed- nesday last, 1 lie borough of Droitwich, ill this county, exhibited 011 that day an unusual scene of bustle, carls and waggons having arrived from all parts of the country: 1111 immense quantity of saH as sold al 15a. per ton.— Worcester Journal. Joseph Price, Esq. of Dorrington, near Ibis town, according to bis annual custom at this sea- son, has given 8 cwt. of prime beef lo his poor neighbours. A few weeks ago we called the attention of Ihe public to the enormous price of COAL in this own : a further rise took place 011 Monday last, and the best Colli is now seventeen shillings and ijrpcnce per ton, exclusive of carriage, & c.— Situated, as Shrewsbury is, in the immediate vici- nity, and partly upon tbe immense slrata of Shropshire Coal, we think it would not he an on promising adventure, in these days of unbounded speculation, lo establish a Company for the cheap aud abundant supply of Coal in this town and neighbourhood.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIN, As it is evident, from a perusal of what took place at the Special Assembly of Guardians 011 the 10th instant, as reported in your last Journal, that a Dissolution of the Incoiporatiou of the United Parishes must and ought to take place, and, as appears from Ihe prayer of the Petition then adopted, the House, and lands adjacent, will be sold; I take the opportunity, through the medium of your'Journal, of calling the attention of the Magistracy and Gentry of Ihe County to the subject, in tbe hope thai, whenever the sale occurs, the ( iue building and property, famed as it justly is for its beautiful and healthy site, may mil be allowed to pass into the bauds of any speculator, to be turned into a receptacle for spin- ning twist aud engendering consumption, but thai means may be adopted for securing it as the station of one of those Public Humane Institutions for which it is iu every respect so admirably adapted.

In the Chronicle of Friday last there is a letter which sajs, u Some account of the i Report' hy the Sub- Committee of the Parishes of Shrewsbury / from which * Report* extracts were said to have been rend at, the House of Industry)'' has " been very erroneously made public." Now, as we staled in our last Journal that Extracts" from the said Report" were read at the meeting of the 10th instant, we repeat that certain passag- es, to which vve referred in that pub- lication, WERE READ to the special assembly of Guardians j and the person who read them did then state to the Guardians that they were " Extracts" from the " Report." Whether every assertion'' that person then made was or was not contained in the " Report" we had no means of discriminatiog'. The writer iu the Chronicle points out three errors as having- been " made public.'* He says, first— . 11 It is but justice to that establishment and its present Steward, to state, that there is no such assertion in the Report, that ' n6 work whatever is ' done in the rfouse, not even the knitting? of the ' children's stockings.' ," It may he very certain that there is wo TRUTH' in the 44 assertion" that ii no work whatever is NOW done in the House, not even the knitting of the children's stocking's." But be the ^ assertion" as false as it may, it was publicly made, and in the very words which we have last quoted, in the course of his reading and address to the Guardians on the 10th instant, by th:' person who read to them the Extracts" froui the 44 Report." The writer in the Chronicle next says — " There is no such assertion in the Report that ' six years previous to 1818, the Parishes of St. Chad, f ' St. Julian, and Holy Cross: had paid £ 5000 more 4 than the cost of their own poor/ If the writer of the pftrag- raph we have just copied had only been anxious to point out error, he never would have made such, a wilful perversion of our report as appears in that paragraph. , By leav ing- out the word 44 IN" before the first word of his quotation, he has gfiven quite a different meaning- I to the ( t assertion" published iu our last Journal, f VVhetiier that 44 assertion" was 44 in the Report" or not, is no concern of ours. The < 4 assertion," as printed by us, not as; misquoted in the Chronicle, was made to the Guardians by the person who read to them the " Extracts" from the " Reportand that is all we n6ed'say of the matter. With the same crafty, perversion of what was stated in our Paper, the writer in the Chronicle says-*- " There is no such assertion in the Report ' tiiat ' the Parishes may again re- imite under Mr. Sturges 4 Bourne's Act.'" Nor is any such 44 assertion" made in our Journal of last week. The person who read to the Guardians the 44 Extracts" from the 44 Report" saitl, that after the present Act was repealed, the Parishes may ag- ain, if it were expedient, re- unite, not themselves, but their establishments, and so we reported it. Having' thus done justice to ourselves, by vindi- cating our report of the proceeding's at the House of Industry from insinuations most unfairly levelled at it6, we have an act of justice to perform to the present Directors, as- also to the present Steward and Matron of the Establishment, who naturally feci much hurt tlVat it should have Been stated, to perhaps J20 Guardians assembled on the 10th inst. that 46 no work whatever Is NOW done' in the House, not even the knitting of the children's stockiug- s." These were, however, the express words used on that Occasion, as we haVe abundant testimony to prove. We, of course, reported what was then said ; and we have now to remark, that the 44 asser- tion," though thus publicly made to the special assembly of Guardians, is altogether' 44 erroneous" as it relates to the present state of the House. We have competent authority for stating- ( and this we do without any wish to prejudice public opinion as to the question vvhicli now agitates the United Parishes,) that the number of Poor in the Shrewsbury House of Industry, on,- 1% e 10th inst. ' was less than it had been fornine years preceding-; and that, On the 10th inst. every Pauper in the' House'that could work WAS USEFULLY EMPLOYED. All, the stdekin^ s are KNIT there ; all* the shoes are. irnde and mended in the House ; there are. eig* ht constantly employed aff sempstresses ; all the coffins for the Paupers of ihe six United Parishes that'die in or out of the House, are made at the House; almost all the leather breeohes and woolle'n clothes worn by the Paupers in the House are made and mended there-; aud all the mops Used in the Housre are made and their material- manufactured within its walls/' ' '"' I Mr. Wiugfield Harding' 2.

The inhabitants of Bala, as a body, we know, are not by any means implicated in the charge ; but these poor'siffferers, allho' they hod money to pay, were peremptorily ordered out of the * public house, in that town, and it was with difficulty thes^ strangers Could obtain a lodging for the night This was not the way ill which we read, in tlr ' 28th chapter of Acts, of the shipwreck of St. Paul f< And the barbarous people shewed' its no little kindness ; for they kindled a fire and received us 11 every one" " and lodged us three day " courteously." [* We have the name'of the public house, the very sign of which should have warned the occupier against thus disgracing H'lS Majesty', dominions. Charity induces us to suppress the words by which the house is designated.] The shopkeepers of Swansea last week refused to take the Irish or harp pence iu payment for goods, unless allowed thirteen or fourteen for shilling. Considerable loss and inconvenience has been in consequence felt hy the labouring part of ihe inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, hut the measure was deemed highly necessary to check the present superabundant supply from the Sisler Kingdom.

IN a recent number of " The London Mechanics' Register," it is stated, that, thirty years ago, there were not more than Forty Weekly Publications in the Metropolis Which have now increased to One Hundred and Fifty. That not less than 500, G0{) Newspapers are printed Weekly in the United Kingdom, besides other periodical publications ; nnd that if the sheets of paper printed iipooannually were laid together, they would cover a space of nearly 19,000 miles and the Editor of the Register asserts, that the present improved state of society is attributable to that mighty engine — THE PRESS. In ibis opinion we perfectly coincide. At the same time we have to remark, that no species of property is perhaps liable to so many fluctuations or vicissitudes as the London periodical Press. Several Journals which., a quarter of a century ago, were in high repute aud had an ex- tensive sale, have been long since defunct, and at this time are scarcely remembered ; others, not then in existence, are now flourishing and enjoy- ing the sunshine of popular favour. In the same period, what numerous productions have been ushered into the world under an assurance of possessing inexhaustible resources of intelligence,, and as being conducted by persons of extraordinary talent, ardent patriotism* and inflexible integrity ! A short time, however, proved that these pompous declarations were mere gasconading professions— they lived but for a day ; ar. » d even the; names of most of those ephemeral publications are entirely forgotten. Those Journals, however, which, by the dint of persevering integrity^ and judicious management, have acquired celebrity, still. excite the envy of competitors ; needy ad venturers start up, and endeavour, by pi rating the nanieand some of the features of the established paper, to raise and support themselves on its basis. The honest and independent Journalist' " has, therefore, no slight perils to undergo iri supporting' himself against these numerous assailants; and he, who can for Twenty- five years maintain his steady course, and at the end of that, time remain triutnph- ! ant in the field, must possess no ordinary merit: and, if his paper rises progressively in public estimation, notwithstanding repeated direct attacks made upon it, there requires no other fact to prove the intrinsic value, which it possesses. These re- marks peculiarly apply to a Sunday Paper called u THE WEE£££ iY DISPATCH," which, although frequently subjected to direct and indirect attacks, by its mime and leading features being pirated,- has not only stood its ground, but has within the last two years obtained an increase to its circulation, unprecedented in the history of Public Journals. This success is, no doubt, at- tributable to several causes. First, tlie consistency with Which the Dispatch has, from its commence- ment iu 1801, displayed iu advocating the principle) of public liberty, humanity, and justice. Secondly the facilities which its Proprietors possess of ob- taining accurate information on subjects of great public interest, as was instanced by, their ex- clusively giving to the world the extraordinary case of George Mathews, who was capitally con- victed, on the false accusation of his master; the Confessions of Joseph Hunt tbe exposure of the infamous conduct of the Duke of San ^ arjos, the precious Minister of King Ferdinand ; the most authentic information relative to the private trans- actions of the late unfortunate Mr. Fauntleroy ; and the earliest notice. of the recent case of Mr. Savery Thirdly, the interesting delineations of Parlia mentary Speakers, and other Public Character! Fourthly, the spirited manner in which its Sporting Department is conducted ; the pugilistic contests being- written in a style- sufficiently characteristic, without descending to low slang and vulgarity, and finally, to the condensed, but accurate history, which the Dispatch furnishes of passing events, both in Foreign and Domestic Politics, aud of the manners of the . present day. To the Country Reader the WBRXTY DISPATCH affords a great advantage, by the publication of a, Saturday Edition, containing tbe list of Bankrupts from the* Gazette of that evening also the Price of Stocks, and Miscellaneous News_ up to three o'clock on that day. And thus information on those heads are conveyed by the Dispatch, One Hundred and Thirty Miles on'the Sunday Morning, which does not in the usual course reach that dis- tance till Tuesdaytwo days is also gained in the intelligence of the London Bankrupts, in all parts of England, Ireland, and Scotland, by the readers of TUB DISPATCH. gratulafed his distinguished arrival in that City, and said the Corporation tnter tained a deep sense of the honour conferred' tjjjon th£ m by their acceptance of the invitation, in which all their fellow- citizens heartily joined. Mr. TOWN Ct. ERK LUDLOW then addressed - thenj to nearly the. following purport:— M " The Mayor, Burgesses, and Commonalty of t! r£ City of. Bristol, in Common Council • assembled, have unanimously , resolved that the - Freedom of the City be presented to vofl, iff the manner- fn which it is Usually presented to- persons of eimfrenec nnd distinction. " In conformity, therefore, with the usual Course of proceeding • upon such occasions, T have now- the. honour, and in the name arid cHi the part of Ihe Corporation, to communicate to vou this resolution. I *". u ™ 1, eJ ni1 « The Freemen of this ancient and loyal City, j if who are entitled by birth or other personal right ttr t| ie privilege of their Freedom, and who' n0\ y re- spectfully solicit the honour of being c « nuected with y: ou as their Fellow- Citizens, amount to many thou sands. Their ample, roll has been from time to time adorned with the names of Princes, Warriors, and Statesmen, of persons the most illustrious in rank, and the most eminent in talent. . " His Majesty, when Prince Regent, honoured this City with his presence, and coiid'escended to gratify tlie wishes of tlie loyal Citizens of Bristol by permitting his name to be enrolled in their list. " On the last occasion of presenting the honorary freedom of this City, the Duke, of Wellington re- ceived it in this place shortly after the battle of Waterloo.— The . brilliancy, of the, victory, the,.,,! im- portance of the result, and the general interest excited by the presence of the illustrions Warrior, contributed to make an impression which will not soon be forgotten. But although the Citizens of Bristol gratefully recollect the triumphs of war, a deeper and more gratifying sensation is derived from the enjoyment of the blessings of Peace and Prosperity— and in contemplating the wisdom and energy with which His Majesty's Councils have been directed, and the affairs of his Vast and m'ghty empire administered, it is impossible not to feel, that the splendour of arms must yield to the transceridant qualifications of the Statesman and the Legislator. Highly, therefore, as the Citizens of Bristol esteem the honour which has been conferred upon them by the illustrious Personages, who have from time to time accepted the like tribute of their respect; I should very imperfectly express what is felt by them, if I did not assure you, that there are no names which they will be more proud to see inserted in their roll than those of the Earl of Liver-.' pool and Mr. Canning. ' l I have only to request that you will he pleased accept of the Instruments of. admission to the Liberties of. this City, which in the name and on the part of the Corporation j I have the honour to present to you." To which the Earl of LIVBRPOOL replied.— That he accepted the honour conferred upon him with feelings of sincere gratitude, as he considered it as an acknowledgment of his endeavours to serve his King and country with fidelity; it was true, that the Members, who assisted in his Majesty's Conn cils, had had a difficult task to perform during' the late war,.- but that task had been rendered compara- tively easy from the loyalty and zeal of the great commercial bodies of the Country, and none of those Commercial Bodies had excelled the ancient apd loyal City of Bristol, in devotion to the King and in obedience to the laws.— His Lordship congratu lated those around him, that other and better prospects presented themselves, as the country now enjoyed the blessings of a peace which he hoped would be durable. His Lordship said, that he nad some patrimonial claims upon the City of Bristol, which would have rendered such an honour desira- ble to him, but. he preferred receiving it in the way it was conferred, frir he felt, as he trusted every public man would feel? that tbe approbation of his fellow- subjects was a just reward of public service. He concluded by again thanking the Corporation for the honour conferred. Mr. CANNING said, he received the honour of being enrolled among the Citizens of Bristol with feelings of sincere gratitude ; it had been hii fortune to be connected with another great com uiercial town, which was its rival in fame, but still a generous rival: that connection had given him the Opportunity of becoming acquainted with and duly appreciating the character of a British merchant; such a character, sustained as it was with probity and dignity throughout the globe, rendered it an honour to any one, whether Warrior, Statesman, or Prince, to be enrolled among its members : he duly felt that honour himself. It was in a great measure owing to the zeal and loyalty of British merchants, that the country was now in a state of safety and peace, which he trusted it would long enjoy. lie felt highly gratified with the honour, which had been thus conferred on him. The Master and Wardens of the Society of Mer chants having been introduced, Mr. OSBORNE thus addressed his Lotdsbip : — " Mv Lord,— On behalf of the Society nf Mer- chant Venturers of this City, I have the honour to present to your Lordship the freedom of their Incorporated Company ; and to request your ac ceptanee of it, as a testimony of the high estimation in which they hold those talents and Virtues, which have so long and so happily influenced tbe National Councils, and which, whilst they have commanded the admiration, have conciliated the esteem of all larlies, — Allow me to add, that the Society will mil aie an event of favourable auspice to the Port, their being permitted to enrol amongst the Member of their Mercantile Corporation, the Name of i Nobleman, to whom the Country is so much in- debted for his attention to its Commercial and M a n u fa e t. u r i n g Interests." To Mr. CANNING he said.—< c Permit me, Sir, to solicit your acceptance of the like mark of esteem from the Society of Merchant Venturers, and lo express to you, at the same time, how highly they appreciate the advantages which the Country de- rives from the accession to his Majesty's Councils, of a Statesman, of so enlightened a mind and such extensive experience." To which his Lordship, in reply, said — That he had much satisfaction, us a Citizen of Bristol, in receiving the Address and Freedom of so ; respectable a Society— that to Commerce this Country owed much of its prosperity and greatness, and the Landed Interest its present revival and improvement— that, indeed, no interest stood alone, — all were links in the great solid chain, all con., nected with and dependent on each other for that mutual welfare he was pleased to witness, and believed to be increasing. Mr. CANNING expressed himself to the following purport: — He felt it an honour to be enrolled as a Member of so respectable a Commercial Body. He concurred iu the sentiments of his Noble Colleague, as to the effect of Commerce on the general prosperity of the Country. His long and intimate connection with another great mercantile town had afforded him peculiar opportunities of witnessing the zeal, enter- prise, integrity, and loyalty, which distinguished the character of the British Merchant, and had impressed him with a strong sense of the advantages which the Government of the Country had derived from the co- operation and support of such Societies, as those whose Freedom he had now the pleasure of i receiving, and for which he fel, t sincerely grateful. An Address from the Chamber of Commerce was on Monday, week unanimously voted at a Board of Directors, and a deputation consisting of the Presi- dent, Mr. Joseph Reynolds, the Vice- Presidents, Messrs. Thomas Stock and Joseph Cookson, with Messrs. Samnel'Harford, F. Fisher, sen. and James Lean, was appointed to" present it, and for which the Mayor obligingly made arrangements with his distinguished guests. On presenting the address Mr. V. P. Stock epoke to the following effect: viz. My Lord- Right Hon. Sir,— In the absence of our highly respected President, Mr. Reynolds, who from severe indisposition is unable to join us, We, the Vice- President, and Committee, Members of tbe Board of Directors of tbe Bristol Chamber of Com- merce, have the honour aud happiness to appear before you as a Deputation from that Body, com- missioned to offer the most sincere congratulations opon the visit you have honoured this City with, and to present an Address, expressive of the deep sentiments of respect aud approbation with which of that populous and wealthy county; he could hear and lands andiouBM, wWli we do not Wdw fdclminn v In llm C I.',. :.. 1 I t • « -, ainJ.

" To your Lorcfship and the Right Honourable Secretary as'leading Members of that Administra- tion by which His Majesty has been So faitlifully aud successfully advised, w'f- jheg to offer our grate- ful acknowledgments, aud to indulge a hope that the Country may long* enjoy a qontimiance of those services which have so largely, contributed to the exalted character of the Nation aod the happiness of the People." . " Bv the Board of Directors, " THOMAS STOCK, Chairman." " Bristol, January 12,1825." Lord LIVERPOOL replied, that he felt gratified with the testimonial of the Commercial Interests of the City as expressed in the address. His here- ditary principles, as well as the result of his own experience, had convinced him of the importance of relieving Commerce from its shackles, and of givingit freedom and opportunity to extend itself. jA state of war naturally created restraints, the femedy of which could be but partially ap- plied ;*\ byt on the restoration of peace the means of giving it proper scope had been the anxious wish of his Majesty's Government, who applied its jearliest attention to the removal of those shackles; which removal had led to the improvement in Agriculture,^ and the general interests of the Country,* #* These institutions for the promotion of Commerce and Trade," said his Lordship, I highly Value;" he concluded by expressing his gratification, at the congratulations of the re • Spectable Body from whom the address emanated. Mr. CANNING was anxious to add for himself a few- words to the observations of the Noble Lord. He concurred fully in tbe sentiments just expressed by him. Commerce was the connecting link in the social chain : and it had been . his chief endeavour iu his correspondence with Foreign Nations to con- vince their Governments of the eternal truth that the World was wide euough ( or all its inhabitants— '. it was a fifld for the exertions of man—* field which yielded the surest and best reward for his labour. It could not be expected . that Foreigners would im- mediately see the wisdom uf adopting all our sug- gestions, but he had7 reason to believe that a free and liberal policy in regard to Trade and Commerce was increasing throughout the world : old prejudices were dying Rw » . yt and the shackles of Trade were dropping off one by one. He concluded by thatik- ing ibe gentlemen for their address- THB DINNER. At about six o'clock the company adjourned to the Banqueting Room, which was splendidly illuminated and adorned. On the right of tlie Mayor sat the Earl of Liver ppol and Mr. Canning; on the left bis Grace tbe Duke of Beaufort and the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Rev.

Gentlemen, the high and ' responsil^ Hltuation which the Noble Lord holds in his Majesty's Counsels has brought into exercise his splendid talents, his sound undeviating prin i pies, ami his exalted virtue. Gentlemen, by such talents, by such principles, this Country has been raised to an unexampled height of glory, to an unprecedent- ed st; a| e of vvicalth: and happiness. I beg to give tli health. of i he Right Hon • the Earl of Liverpool, First Lord of his Majesty's Treasury—( which was drank with great applause.) Lord LIVRRPOOL rose and said : Gentlemen— I really do not know how to express myself after tiie handsome manner in which you have been pleased to drink' my health. I feel highly grateful f< hfrnoUr, but I am conscious I do not deserve the higli eulogium bestowed on me by your Chief Magistrate. Gentlemen, if there be any merit on my part, in the course of the administration of public affairs witvh which I have been entrusted, that merit consists in good intentions— I certainly have used my. best en deavours to further the good of my country— hut neither those good intentions nor those best endea oars would have been successful if they had not received the valuable support, and been aided by the talents of my excellent and able Colleagues _ and above all'if they had not received the support of. tVe great Commercial as well as other Interests of thir couiitrv. l; he result of all our united exertions has been the attainment of Peace, and my anxious . w: ish is, as no doubt it is of every one around m that the prosperity at present enjoyed by thi country may not only be secured, but may go on increasing— what that increase may lead to it is impossible for any man to . conceive. Mr. MAYOR then rose and said— With feelings of great gratitude for his attendance, and with feelings of admiration of his brilliant talents, he begged lo propose the health of the Right Hon. George Canning, his Majesty's Secretary of State for the Foreign Department.-( Applause ) Mr. CANNING then said— Gentlemen, T cordially thank you for the honour you have conferred upon me. It is most grateful to my feeling to be coupled with the well- known and justly appreciated talents of my noble friend. Gentlemen, it is impossible to testimony to the satisfaction of , his Constituents in the ge nc ra I ad in i nist ra t ion of the con 111 r y. Sir THOMAS LETKBRIDGB most cordially joined in the ' couelutling sentence of his worthy'Coileague on the approbation throughout the county of Somerset of the conduct of bis MajestyV Ministers; hot he could not be satisfied without doing justice to those principles of . loyalty and attachment to the Consti- tution,. which had led. to such result. He felt proud that day in Seeing around him , those w ho'maintained auch principles, Which alway. s had, and he hoped always would be* the rallying point of the Citizens of Bristol.

Lord Liverpool took hi*- departure from Bath on Friday morning, nf » neh improved in his, general health by. the us^ of the Bath waters The. Speciiftitions nf the Day. The spirit of speculation,- which has so long been manifested on the Stock Exchange, appears to have reached, its acme during the present week.. The avidity to purchase American Mine shares lias nearly equalled tive gullibility- of a former age, to hen the famous South - Sea - Bubble ruined thou sands of the. credulous. Oii IVLonday, the holders of Real del Monte shares1. had. the inipudfence to ask £ 1,500: and very considerable .. sales were made at from 12 to 1300." On Tuesday the mania abated, and those who w^ re determined to sell, submitted to a tall of 20 to 25 per cent, of the prices demanded on tb(* former day. We are really at a loss to account for this extraordinary docility in the monied world, to be cajoled into a" trap set for the mere purpose of enriching a few cunning capitalists.— They embark their money in schemes which they do not understand, and in a distant part of the market, for the sale of these magical investments.— Evening Chronicle. One might almost as well attempt to stop the tide in its course as to arrest the ruinous thirst of specu- lation which now possesses the minds of so many of our countrymen., No one can look on soberly at such a conflict of bad passions as this mania gives rise to, without a. fearful foreboding of the effects which a reflux must produce. This mischievous and insane propensity is not confined, it would seem, to the town- bred dealers in bubbles,' but fias extended itself to the country ; and every post is reported to bring orders to a large amount for the investment of money in some or other of the new Mining concerns, or other foreign speculations. We should dignify many of these projects much too highly, were we to admit that they have, in fact, any actual existence. A name is all, we believe, they possess. Their locality is more than doubtful. A share in a project for transmuting tbe, lava of Etna or Vesuvius into gold, would be as wise and feasible a speculation as some of those which now occupy so much of the attention and actual wealth of Englishmen. This feverish and unnatural state of things augurs badly both of individual and na tiona! character. To see men, most of them, it is presumed, persons of some education ; many of them with wives and families dependent upon them for support, embarking their property in a species of gambling more insane and hopeless than those which occupy the nightly orgies of the lowest hells, is a fearful and appalling spectacle to those who talk of our advancement in civilization, and would have us believe that we excel all the nations of the earth in good sense, prudence, and right feeling. We look with fearful expectation not only to the individual ruin, but to the crimes which are but too likely to be the result of all this. Let those who have their stock or other securities within the reach of persons bitten by this mania, look well to thei safety , A powerful and speedy re- action must ine- vitably take place; the consequences of which must fall somewhere. It is the duty of every man not involved in it himself* to do'all in his power to deter others from . embarking in it. The Press, at least, has done its duty ; and those who have to date the ruin of themselves and, their families from this maddening crisis, will not have to say that they did so without its warning voice having been lifted up to save them from destruction.— Morning Herald.

Ou li attention has recently been called to a work Of great importance, w hich is now in progress of publication, under Ihe title of the EmcvciiO. p. ENIA METROPOLITAN.*; and although il is- impossible, in the small space which we are able to devote to the subject, lo give any adequale idea of its nature and arrangement, we. cannot avoid endeavouring to attract attention lo its evident superiority over every work of similar character and pretensions ttliicli we have Seen. It appears to us to combine with an alphabetical, a philoso- phical arrangement of matter, and unite the merits of a work of methodical instruction with the con. venienee of a book of reference — iThere are several tic if features ill this Encyclopedia, which favonr- ablyjjislinguish it from all other hooks of the sniiie class— for instance, the subjects of History and Biography, » » well a3 ihe logical, physical, and experimental sciences, ate treated according to ihe order of a prescribed plan, separate from that part of the work which contains a Dictionary of the' English Language, and such mailers as could not be conveniently methodized are arranged alphabetic rally. All such portions of the work, according to their several proportions, are severally given in each part, forming so many divisions, hereafter to be placed in the prescribed order, aud bound up in separate volumes.— One feature of the work is so entirely novel, and so loudly calls for special notice, that we must most particularly point to it, we mean lite lexicographical part, the labour and learning of which have excited equally our ad- miration and astonishment: it is, indeed, above all praise;- and when we consider the constant and wearisoms avocations of the talented individual by whom it is supplied, on)- wonder is still farther increased. We siticercly regret not having room- to give a specimen of it, since even an extract could not do it justice, We have only to add, that among the contributors to the work, will be found, many of ihe most distinguished names which arc now known lo the literature and science uf this country. The Committee of the Birmingham rail- way are taking into consideration the practicability of making a tunnel under the river Mersey at Liver., pool, for the purpose of securing the regular conveyance of goods independently of the casual- ties of wind and weather, by which the passage of the river is unavoidably often rendered hazardous and uncertain.— It would become the regular road for carriages of all descri pi ions. At the conclusion of the'Snrrey Winter Assizes, r. Baron Garrow expressed his regret at finding that the crime of horse- stealing was increasing lo a frightful extent in the home counties. Unless it decreased, it would be necessary to make a dread- ful example of offenders of this description; and he trusted that this warning would have a salutary effect. Parliament is to meet for the dispatch of business on Thursday^ ihe third of February. contemplate to what extent of glory this country is destined, when we recollect the difficulties it has overcome. There must be something peculiarly good in ihe elements of a Constitution which pro- duces such effects. I think those elements are to be found. in an enlighted and liberal Nobility, an active and upright Magistracy, and an able, zealous, and conscientious Clergy ; they are also to be found in those enterprising Commercial Communities of this country, which encourage the skill and stimulate the ind. usitiy of the people by ample. remuneration: it has been my fate, as I have already had occasion this day to say, to he so connected with Commercial Characters, as duly to appreciate the qualities and virtues of a British Merchant. It would appear. Gentlemen, as if the whole machine of Society had received aii accelerating impulse, and that thi country Was beginning a course of prosperity, wliich shall exceed all that l as gone before, as uiuch as the present exceeds ail past expectation. After the toast of the Members of Parliament for the Count* of Somerset. Mr. DICKINSON returned his most hearty and grate- ful acknowledgements, as one of the Representatives Having written upon almost every side of every other question, Cobbett is now retained by the Catholic Association to write in support of Popery. Accordingly he hps broadly pointed out the right which the Roman Catholics have to the restoration of monastic and church lands, tithes, & c.; ond he has published what he calls a History of the Re- formation, in which he endeavours to prove the Roman Catholic body worthy of all honour, and the Protestant Reformers as actuated by every base and unworthy motive, it may not, there- fore, be amiss to contrast Mr. Cobbett's present sayings with what, he has before published with reference to the same points.

Convinced as I am^ from the experience of A me rica, as well as from history in general, that an Established Church is absolutely necessary to the existence of religion and morality : convinced also that the Chiirch of England, while she is an orna- ment, an honour, and a blessing to the nation, is the irincipal pillar to the.

Those tricks were very numerous, many of them very farcical. They shewed in a phial some blood, which they pre- tended was a part of the real blood of CHRIST, & C. The Monks and Friars had but one single object in view ; namely, that of living well upon the labour' of others. This was, with them,, the Law and the Go< pel.— Register, Jan. 13,1821. In all ages, and all countries, and under every description of religion, Priests have been distin- guished above all other men for cutiningness, and for indefatigable attention to their worldly interests; aud perhaps amongst all the sets of Priests that ever existed in this world, none have surpassed in cun- ning that set which is the subject of these observa- tions.— Register, Jan. 13, 1821. The Clergy are not paid bv the people any more than the Landholders are.. The tithes areas much their property as . . the rent is the property , of the Landlord. It has been tlie fashion of late years to talk very familiarly of abolishing tithes. Those who have lands would do well to consider how they would, relish the abolishing'of rents; for they may rest assured that the latter will never be far behind the former.— lV6rk$ t v. l. p. 615.

Of much Ihe same nature is the gentle- man's intimation, that some of our rail- way projectors have already pocketed a premium uf £(>. 10s. on iheir shares'; others in a short lime may pocket double or treble that sum ; lint what does this prove but Ihe increasing confidence with which our scheme is viewed by the public, and thai any lemaiuing fears of successful opposition to it are daily falling from the balance?

General Quarter Sessions for the Town and { Liberties of Shrewsbury, Jan. 14. WfLLiAM JottBst, a gardener, fur a brutal assault 011 his wife, Grace Jones, was committed until he could find sureties to keep the peace towards her. This case affords a strong example of the. defect in he " liberal" code of laws by which our Prisons are now made so " comfortable." The prisoner Jones, who behaved with llie utmost effrontery and im- pertinence, while under examination by the Court, aud who has been in the habit, according to his wife's statement,- of abusing her, not being aide to find sureties, will remain, perhaps for months, in prison, at the expense of the county, w hile his wife and I wo children will, in all probability, be maintained by the parish ; and yet the law gives no power to the Magistrates to compel this mail to labour for the maintenance of himself and - his family while he is iu prison.— If, too, he had been indicted for the assault, and foiind guilty, it isoniy by law a case of common assault, and therefore he conid not, in that case, have been sentenced to labour during his period of im prisonmenl 1— There was another singular feature in the cave.

ROBBING A COMMON- STAGE IVAGGON. HENRY MILLER was indicted for stealing 26:| yards of woollen cord, and 288 yards of stay tape, the property of Mr. John Maxon, of Shrewsbury, common. carrier. It appeared in evidence that, on the 4th instant, the prisoner had put a portmanteau and a trunk in charge of Mr. Max, Ill's waggoner at Manchester, lo be conveyed to Shrewsbury ; the wagoner to whom , preseJlted himselft to his shipmates with they were given only drove from Manchester to | i,... rr,.:„ • Tarporley, and another waggoner drove from the latter place to Shrewsbury when a little way from Tarporley, on the way to Shrewsbury, on the 5th inst. the prisoner, who had overtaken the waggon ; iud put his bundle into it, either wa's or feigned to he foot- sore, and was kindly asked by the second goner to get into the waggon and ride.; he did he House of Correction. JOHN DICKEN was indicted for larceny, iu having stolen a lead cistern, & c. froiii a. pump in a field be- longing to the Right Hon the Earl of, Taukerville. Of the guilt of the prisoner, as proved in evidence; there could not be a shadow of doubt; but one of those points of law, by which rogues sometimes creep out of the Way of deserved punishment, unluckily turned tip in the prisoner's favour. It appeared that the crime must, have been committed between eleven o'cloek at night of the 5th and seven in the morning of the 6th November; aud as the pump, with the lead, & cc, was evidently attached to the freehold on the 5th of November, the question was, whether the fict of breaking down the pump and taking the lead, & c. away in the night of the 5th had been one con*, tinued act, which could only in that case be prose- cuted as a trespass, or whether there had been a sufficient interval between the breaking down the pump, cutting the leud, & c, and carrying it away, to justify the jury in finding there had been such a severance of the lead, & o. from the freehold, and lapse of time, before its removal, as would bring the case within the indictment for larceny. The Jury found that the prisoner was guilty of breaking down the pump, stealing the lead, Stc. in ojie continued act; which, on the present indictment, was a verdict of acquittal.—/ The prisoner was, therefore, ais- charged, after a suitable admonition from the Bench MARY ELKS, for obtaining sh'oes from Mr. Crump, ton, of this towfo, under the false pretence that they were for the family of Mr..

[ FROM " THE ALBUM."] Sailors have in general a very proper sense of religion, though often strongly tinctured with Superstition.' They believe in mermaids, ghosts, and goblins; and the story of the devil taking the ship's broker into Mount Stromboli is received by them as fact. They have a great idea of the trans- migration of souls, as far as relates to the Sitnia tribe, many of whom they believe to be captains of Guineatnen iu a state of punishment. I was assured by a north- sea pilot, in confirmation of his belief in mermaids, that in the great gale of 170^' when s6 many colliers were lost on the east coast ot; England, one of the fleet was saved by the kind interference Oi a mermaid, who bailed her by name in the follow- ing prophetic words Sea Adventure '. Sea Ad venture ! Clew up all your sails, and let go your sheet anchor." The prudent master took the warning, and saved the ship. Seamen will never throw a cat overboard, nor whistle, for fear of bringing on a gale— eitli'er Of these causes having been known 10 produce the most serious effects. A horse- shoe is almost invariably nailed to the fore mast, both in the King's and merchant service* to ke^ p away the witches, of w hom the Norway breed are supposed to be by far the most mischievous. . Most of our sea- stories have been £ o often told, that a, narrator who wishes to amuse his readers is in imminent danger of being charged With plagiary from that well- known collector and eoiiiposef of jokes, Joe Miller. If the following instances of extravagance, or folly, or bravery, or hferoism, have ever been related before, I humbly beg pardon. When the (< Golden" Hermione, in the seven years' war took the Spanish galleon, or galloon, as the sailors call her, the foremast- men shared to the tune of five hundred pounds a piece, a sum which of course they concluded- Could never be expended in the common routine of domestic life. In order to conquer this difficulty, they devised many ingenious methods, such as filling a frying* pan with watches from each fob, and frying them over the galley fire ; subscribing a sum of money to gild the ship's head and carved work, and it was moreover unani- mously resolved that- every man on board should wear a gold- laced hat, and every cocoa nut . was with all convenient speed provided with a goid- laced cocked hat, save one— this unhappy wight firesented himself; to his shipmates " with a silver- aced hat. This would not do— the ship was dis- graced by such d— d stinginess: " Let's ask the first LEE^- tenant not to let him come on board." The supposed culprit begged a hearing— Jack loves fair play, silence was obtained, and the delinquent thus pleaded his cause ; " There was'nt a goold laced hat in tlie town, sd I was forced to take this fitistMltjneoug SntcUistncc. On Wednesday morning last, about six o'clock^ as the London Mail was leaving Chester, Ihe wheels got into a large hole in Ftjl- egate street, which had been made by some persons in the employ of the Water Works Company, and negligently left in a dangerous state; from which circumstauce, Ihe coach was upset, and the coachman aud some of the passengers were severely hurt. DEATH OF DR. LINDSAY, BISBOP OF KII- DARE.— On Thursday lasl, we regret to announce, this venerable Prelate paid the debt of nature, at his Lordship's Episcopal residence, Glasnevin. His Lordship yvas consecrated in 1804. He was brother of the Scotch Earl of Balcarras, aud brother- in- law to the Earl of Hardwicke. He was Dean of Christ's C'burch; and was translated from the See of Killaloe, lo which he had heeli elevated ill 1803. The late piOpriitor of Fonthill Abbey is now in Loudon, and occupies a house in Gloucester. place, New- road. This gentleman's botanical tasle, as well as passion for flowers, has long been proverb- ial; and Whilst he continues in London, Ihe in- dulgence is maintained at 110 little cost, and with singular regularity. Each morning, exactly as the clock strikes nine, the gentleman's carriage draws up to his door, and on the instant in steps the liberal proprietor, who is driven to Jenniiig's large nursery- garden, scarcely two hundred yards' distance, where lie enters, and, furnished wilh his own scissars, culs from the most choice native and exotic plants, a fine nosegay, for which he pays one guinea ; wilh this sweet scented and well chosen bouquet in his hand, he again enters his carriage, and is driven home again, RECENT RECOGNITION OT SOUTH AMERI- CAN INDEPENDENCE.—[ From the Cheltenham Chronicle.]—" We have for a long time felt a deep anxiety lest the character of Great Britain should be compromised by an excess of eagerness itl recognising the independence of any of the South American States, from our i- ecollection of Ihe jealousy and testlness of this country, when France presumed to recognise the independence of the United States, VVe do most heartily rejoice in the prosperity of England; but her good name is to 11s an object of inteuser interest;— and we can- not forget ihe decided and manly slyle in which George III. complained of the unprovoked aggres- sion of the Bourbon family; when, alluding lo the interference of the French Cabinet ill the North American dispute, he declared that ' safe and ho- nourable term's of peace could only be secured by such powerful preparations as would shew in GREAT BITITATN a firm resolution not to RE- CEIVE THE LAW from ANY POWERS whatever, and to decline no difficulty or hazard in defend- ing the country, and preserving ils essential interests.''— Such w. as ihe language of England when France and Spain coalesced iu recognizing the independence of the ( then) Brilish Colonies in North America. Nay, the very encouragement by Holland ( instigated hy French intrigues) of an illicit trade with America, was ihe subject of a very spirited memorial and remonstrance delivered by Sir Joseph Yorke, then Brilish Ambassador al the Hague. These are the recollections which induce to wish that the independence of South America had iu the first instance been recognized by the mother country, since we cannot but consider our interference auy thing but consistent with the con- duct pursued by this country when her ovvn inte A new vegetable, called the asparagus potatoes res, s were more immediately involved.

The vigilance and efficiency of the Brislington nightly Patrole were demonstrated 011 Monday night last, by their stopping two horses, almost immediately after they had been stolen from a field of Mr. Hunt's in that parish. The patrole api prchended two men also, one of whom had a mare of Air. Hunt's in his possession ; against the second there was 110 such direct evidence. However, by the scrutiny of the Magistrate, Edward Rolle Clayfiehl, Esq. the following morning, by the active perseverance of Mr. Hunt, and the exertions of other gentlemen of the Brislington Association most promptly and judiciously employed, together wilh the aid of some of the Bristol Police Officers, such circumstances were elicited and such evidence produced as caused the second man to be fully committed for tria' » A third man mounted 011 a horse, not Mr. Hunt's property, escaped by the speed of hi> horse, but not before the rider's fiatures had been so observed as to render him cognizable to some of the patrole ; the accurate description given of him - leaves 1 iI tic doubt of his being apprehended, should he remain in the West of England, as certain means are in active progress we gain nothing by the recognition that we did not before possess.

Loss ot- ITIE DUTCH COLONIAL SCHOONER CALYPSO.— Batavig, Aug. 21.— We have ceived soine particulars of the loss of his Majesty's colonial schooner the Calypso, which sailed from Amboyna, 011 Ihe 18th of April, wilh dispatches for Java. After struggling for several days w ith contrary winds, it struck 011 the 28th, at midnight, on a reef called by the natives Passeleurang, about five miles S. W. hy W. from the island of Rosa galet. The ship filling rapidly with water, it was resolved to abandon it. Part of the crew got on board, and part 011 a raft which they put together but the lalter not being able lo keep the rafi afloat, returned to the ship; and those on hoard the long boat ( which was too crowded to rcceive auy more) promised to send it back to fetch them off. This, however, they were unable to do. Afler driving about for four days, without food for his detection. The discovery of the entire gang, and very little water, and assailed bv ihe inhabit ll l.

Sin,— I am really pleased lo sec thai the landei gentlemen have al length made a more. They have put forward, il is true, a sorry pawn, and altogether so unskilfully as lo leave it open to attack at all points; hut still it augurs a disposition. to ndvanri into Ihe field, and I am willing to hail any attempt a discussion, however feeble it may be. A more Inch antagonist than the " MERE LAND- OWNER" might liave" becn more satisfactory ; but no mailer— he has evidently a large accumulation of bile and spleen to shake off; and these are not favourable to the right exercise of reason. I will not, however, despair, thai, when his excrescences shall have been duly shorn; when he shall have learnt that abuse is mil argument, nor Ihe " respectability of his opinion" to be esti- mated by the weight of his pocket; when he shall have been taught that a mere ephemeral land owner ( as he acknowledges - himself to he) is not in these days lo look down wilh supercilious arrogance on ihe industrious classes of Ihe community, which at once constitute its wealth', ils strength and greatness; nor to expect that the inviolability of his own veget- able parallelograms is lo lie deemed of higJler im- portance lliau the preservation of otir manufacturing and commercial interests— he may so far be made useful In ns, as to be the medium of communicating miuie of those secrets, which are now so closely kept. I judged, indeed, from the opening of his letter, that we w'ere on the point of collecting something from him • and 1 trusted that ihe boldness of his first advance might have been supported w ith correspond- ing vigour; hut, to my infinite disappointment, his premises are no sooner staled than abandoned; his light is no soniter struck than put under the bushel, and we are left lo grope our way lo bis meaning in the best manner wc can. He complains of his • narrow limits, but what limits could satisfy a gentle- man that buffets the air as he does? Had he been content lo spare those flowers of Billingsgate, which form so large a portion of his performance; had be forborne his idle drivellings about " the security of his fireside," " the plate in his butler's pantry, ' " his own private speculations," ( for he, too, has reached Shrewsbury, when his bundle, trunk, fcc. were given to him at Cotton Hill, and lie went away the waggoner, at ihe time he left, thought his bundle looked larger than when it was put into the waggon, hut had no suspicion of Ihe reason. When the waggon was unloaded at Mr. Maxon's warehouse, a package directed for Messrs. Bright and Wilton, mercers, of this town, was missing, though regulai ly entered iu the way- bill which had been IrajismitleJ from Manchester by post : diligent search was made in the straw used in blading the waggon, although no parcel could be found, yet the invoice of ( he parcel, which had been inclosed in it, w discovered on ihe straw being looked over a second lime. Further inquiry was made under Mr. Maxon's direction ; the waggoner slated the circumstance of the prisoner having been in the waggon on the road; a police officer was employed;' and the prisoner, who is a licensed hawker, was traced to a respectable inn in the town. On his bed- room at the inn being searched, ( lie woollen cord and tape iu question were found, together with small parcels of stockings and other articles in which it is supposed he traded ; the wrapper of Messrs. Bright and Wilton's parcel was not t'uuud, but, on the ledge of the room window, a lead tally was found, the number of which corre- sponded with ihe number on ihe woollen cord. Til prisoner was not then at the inn, but he came in some time afler, and was immediately apprehended. After he was taken intocnslody, he said to ihe police officer, tk I vvisli I bad seen tbe man ( Ibe waggoner) a few hours after this happened,"—" the Devil was iu me when I did it,"—" I bought it of a man fo £ 3, and I thought it was stolen." The officer asked Iiiui what he bad done with Ihe wrapper, and he said, " I made away with the wrapper and the card lluii was ori it." The warehouseman from Messrs. Taylor and Gibson's, of Manchester, proved that the woollen : ord aud lead tally found formed part of the package given hy liinl to Mr. Maxon's servants at M Chester, to he conveyed to Messrs. Bright St Wilton, and that the invoice found in the straw al Shrews, bury was inclosed in the package at Manchester.— Two of Mr. Mnxon's servants at Manchester proved Ihe receiving the package from llie lasl witness, ml its being placed in the waggon lo come to Shrewsbury. When called upon for his defence, the prisoner, who is a respectably looking man, addressed the bench in n very becoming-, and, apparently, penitent, manner; imploring mercy, not on his own account, hut in consideration of his having a wife ( now pregnant) and four children, and many respectable friends, to whom he had not even ventured lo com- municate his present disgraceful situation; and he observed, that if every man could fee! the sensations which had overwhelmed him since i" had been in confinement on this charge, he was sure that not 1 in 100 of similar cases would come before tbe Bench, as compared with the nnmherwilh which it was now troubled. He concluded by earnestly imploring tbe mercy of the Court, the Prosecutor, aud the Jury. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recom- mended him lo mercy.— Mr. Bather, on behalf of the prosecutor, joined in this recommendation, at the same time staling, that Mr. Maxon had solely been, actuated by a sense of public duty in prosecuting the prisoner, which he had done at a great expense, iu consequence of his waggons having recently been robbed several times. The Court, after a suitable and very impressive address, and in accordance with the humane recom- reaching the ears of bis comrades, he was received on board with universal greeting- and acclamation. More recently \ ve have an instance of Jack Simp- sou, of the Dreadnought, going to Bath tvith his " she messmate," and having iheir names inserted in the Journals of the Pump- room as new arrivals to DRINK THE WATERS. On his return, Jack brought back ihe newspaper wilh him, and the ship's barber read the article aloud on the mains deck to the no small merriment of " a Crowded house." From the fidic'ulous we will give our readers specimen of the sublime. In that disgraceful affair off Toulon in 1744, the old fashioned maxi- nrof keeping the ships in line of baftle was obstinately adhered to by Admirals Matthews and Lestock. The combined fleet was drawn up to leeward of ours, and as " their ban- ners flouted the skv and fanned our people cold," Captain Ilawke, in the Berwick, of sixty- four guns, beheld with honest indignation this cruel wrong of his country, and seeing no prospect of a general action, boldly, and' in defiance of orders, quitted his station, aud selected the Poder, a Spanish ship of equal force, as his adversary. After a very smart engagement of half an hour, he took her, and had possession. She was retaken, owing to the mismanagement of the two English admirals — but Havvke's honour was not retaken in her. His Majesty King George demanded of his minister why that officer's name was omitted ? The reply was, thai, in the late irial, it appeared that Capt. Havvke had disobeyed orders by quitting the line to fight the Poder. " What!" said the indignant monarch, " disgrace a man for fighting too much !! ! he shall be MY admiral;" and the royal justice and discern ment was rewarded by the defeat of Conflan's, in 17[> 9. It is said that His Majesty, on hearing the news, pulled off' his w- ig, and kicked it about the Palace of Kensington for joy, congratulating him- self on having been the instrument of so much good fortune to his coun'lry. Most of a sailor's vices may be traced to the love of drink, the remedy ever applied to the cares and the harclshipsofasea life !— needlessly recommended by Grubb- street poets, whose influence is unhappily not counteracted by the efforts of the moralists,— and the certainty of immediate destruction has often failed to deter seamen from indulging in this hated propensity. With shame and grief, I own, we carry it to a greater excess Ihan any other nation under heaven. Queen Anne, of " glorious" me- mory, gave them the means, hy tlie too liberal allowance of half a pint of spirits to eacli man and boy ; to this Admiral Vernon added three times as much water, a wise and salutary precaution, but not calculated to increase his popularity with the sailors. The admiral, before the introduction of a regular uniform dress, wore acoat of mixed materi- als, called grogrtitn,— he was from this nicknamed Old Grogrum ; but sailors, hating long word*', took off'the last syllable,— be was therefore called Old Grog, and became sponsor to the beverage which has ever since gone hy that name. Formerly it was a maxim, that a young woman should never be married till she had spun herself a set of body, table, and bed linen. From this custom all unmarried women were termed spinsters, an appellation they still retain in all deeds and law proceedings. it is hoped, will be the consequence of this lucky apprehension of the two already in custody, one of Ihein seeming inclined to give most useful informa. lion.— Bristol Journal. To RENDER LEGIBLE INSCRIPTIONS ON SILVER COINS.— If you have a silver coin, the inscription of which by much wear is become wholly obliterated, put the poker in the fire; when red- hot, place the coin upon it, when the inscription will plainly appear of a greenish hue, but will dis- appear as the coin cools. This method was practised at the Mint to discover the genuine coin when the silver was last called in In aid of the Mechanics' Institutions, and of Mechanical Knowledge generally, Mr. JOHN NICHOLSON, engineer, son of the late William Nicholson, and a gentleman well known in the rtliintifactflring districts, announces for publication, next week, a work called " The Operative Me. ehaniCj and Manufacturing Machinist," in which the actual state of the Mechanic Arts will he fully developed.

ANECDOTE.— A few years back, when the country was so depressed, and rents came in so slowly, Mr; Warde ( of Squerries, in Kent, and Hungerford, Berks,) told Mrs. Warde he feared he must give up his hounds.' " Oh, no!" said she, " don't do so; the timet, perhaps, may mend.' Going shortly afterwards to his banker's, he found the sura of one thousand pounds placed to his credit by a " Friend to fox- hunting." This friend to fox- hunting was Mrs. Warde, aud the sum was paid out of her private purse! - Sporting Magazine. THE GRACES.— Three very amiable Young Ladies, daughters of a Gentleman of fortune in the Country, and who from their urbanity of manners and mental accomplishments were usually styled " The Graces," felt conscious, however, that to constitute a fairer claim to the Title, the removal of some personal blemishes would be indispensably requisite. These modems, like Ihe Graces of the ancients, were of the most perfect symmetry. UNS fortunately, one was nearly bald- headed; the tresses of the 9econd were of a repulsive red, reducing both Sisters to the necessity of wearing false Hair ; and the otherwise beautiful features of the third, disfigured by freckles.— She felt still more unhappy than Ihe others, her misfortune baffling concealment. Luckily, these Young Ladies heard of ROWLAND'S Specifics, and in the course of a short time, the freckles vanished, the fiery tresses were transformed into glossy jet, and bald- ness replaced by a redundancy of flowing ringlets, by the use of ROWLAND'S KALY DOR, TYRl AN DYE, and MACASSAR OIL. THE REWARD OF HONESTY!— A few days since, a poor fellow, a waiter at one of the London Coffee Houses, found on the footpath a pocket- book, containing drafts upon an army agent, and upon a banker, to the amount of £ 340. He immediately informed his employer of what he had found, and was for three days exclusively employed in endeavouring to find out the owner of the property, by tracing him from coffee- house to coffee house. He at last found out his abode, and informed the person of the fact. He was desired to give up the book and he should be remunerated, and upon his so doing the generous and liberal. spirited owner, G. F. B , Esq. tendered him Five Shillings! TALE OF A WRIG.— While Lord Conlstoun lived in a house in the Advocates' Close, Edinburgh, it vvas the custom for advocates and judges to dress, themselves in the Parliament House. They usually breakfasted early, and, when dressed, were in Ibe habit of leaning over the parlour windows, for a few minutes, before St. Giles's bell started Ihe sounding peal of a quarter to nine. It happened that one morning, while Lord Coalstoun vvas preparing to enjoy his matinal treat, two girls, who lived in the second flat above, were amusing themselves with a kitten, which, in sport, they had swung over the window, by a cord lied round its middle, and hoisted for some time up and down till Ihe creature was gelling rather desperate with its exertions. In this crisis, his Lordship had just popped his head out of Ihe window directly helow that from which the kitten swung, little suspecting what danger impended over his head, when down came the exasperated animal, at full career, directly upon his wig. No sooner did the girls perceive what landing place their kitten had found, than in terror or surprise they began lo draw il up; but this measure was now loo late, for along wilh the animal up also came ihe judge's wig fixed ill its talons. His Lordship's surprise, on finding his wig lifted off his head, was ten thousand times redoubled, when, on looking up, he perceived it dangling its way upwards, without any means visible to him by which ils motion might be ac. counted for. The astonishment of the senator below, the mirth of the girls above, together with the fie. ee aud retentive energy of puss between, altogether formed a scene to which language can- not do justice. It was a joke soon explained and pardoned; hut assuredly the perpetrators of it did get many a lengthened injunction from their parents never again lo fish over the window with such a |> ait for honest men's wigs. ants of several small islands with shots and darls Ihe long boat was surrounded near tbe island Lusuradie by five vessels of the natives, and ihe crew being without arms and completely exhausted, taken prisoners hy a hundred of nalives. Afler having remained 12 days in slavery in the island, they were set at liberty by the intercession of Ihe Rajah of Bonerate, except three Europeans and six Javanese. Those released, to the number of ten or twelve Europeans and three Javanese, arrived at Macassar the 2.1st of June. We have no accounts of those who remained on the wreck, hut vessels and agents have been sent lo endeavour lo save ( hem. It is said that the numerous and important dispatches which were saved from the wreck were burnt by the natives. Some of the Highland parishes are from twenty to fifty miles wide, and with all the obstructions of lakes, rivers, and mountains, Ihe inhabitants in many places are utterly debarred from au attendance on divine services, while the Clergyman of Ihe parish is prevented from visiting his parishioners by obstacles as formidable to him as to themselves. These inconveniences will, in a great measure, be obviated, hy the erection of about forty churches in different parts of the country, to each of w hich will he appointed a Minister, wilh a manse and salary of £ 120 a year.— Inverness Courier, A settlement of the order of Ihe Jesuits is about to he established in nearly the very centre of Ireland, and for this purpose an estate— an entire parish, has been purchased, and it is said £ 21,300 of French money has already been paid as the amount of purchase! The circumstance is simply as follows :— an estate, situated near Casliel, hav- ing been advertised for sale by auction, several gentlemen attended as willing purchasers; the land included an entire parish, and measured about 1,200 acres; £ 20,000 was offered for the property bv one gentleman ; another offered something more; when a Utile black looking man, with coarse worsted stockings drawn carelessly over his leg! aud whose entire dress did not appear worth ten shillings, hut who afterwards turned out to be a Roman Catholic priest, offered £ 21,000, and finally bought it for £ 21,300; aud, on being asked the name of the purchaser, in order to its being inserted in the title- deed, mentioned the name of a gentleman in France; and, as if afraid the pro- perly might not otherwise be secured to him, quite contrary to the general usage, paid the entire amount (£ 21,300) into Court, although the title- deeds are not yet perfected. As we have already observed, it has since been ascertained that the property is to be converted into a Jesuits'establish- ment. Did England wish a separation to take place between the two countries, in our opinion, a more effectual method could not be devised than by permitting a few such establishments to be formed iu this country. We shall not lose sight of the subject.—' Irish Times. THE NEW LONDON BRIDGE— In consequence of the number of men necessarily employed in driving the piles of the above bridge, the con. tractors, a few days since, resolved, in order to reduce the expenses of the undertaking, to erect a machine similar to Ihe celebrated tread mill, and by which two men are enabled lo raise a massive piece of iron, called a monkey, weighing no less than 13 cwt.; and which is afterwards let fall upon the piles, in order to driva them into the bed of the river. By this contrivance a very great saving of labour is effected, two men being enabled to do the work of four. It has, however, com- [ iletely disappointed the expectations of the pro- jectors of it, the legs of the workmen being severely injured by the re- action of Ihe wheel of the mill, when the monkey is detached from the pulley. On Tuesday morning, several of the men were so severely injured hy the wheel striking against their legs, as to be unable to continue their work, and were ultimately conveyed to the Hos- pital ; in conseqnence of which the Directors have resolved to discontinue the use of the machine altogether. Among the sand dug up from the bed of llie river, a great number of very ancient silver and copper coins have been found. CUSTOM HOUSE, LONDON.— The state of the new Custom- house becomes more alarming every- day, the centre arches have given way, and it is contemplated that the business of the establishment must be removed to the Commercial rooms, or some other large range of buildings; the repairs necessary are estimated at £ 60,000. The ground on which the Custom- house is built is principally composed of sand, into which enormous piles had been driven to support the arches on which the building rests; but owing to the high tides which have recently taken place, it is supposed that the water has penetrated through the quay, and sunk or carried away the sand, so as lo leave some of the piles imbedded. It will probably be necessary lo take down the east wing before ihe foundation can be. made secure.— Globe and Traveller. Law literature has, hitherto, been proverbial for ils technical dulness; but, as a relief, a well known barrister has assembled all the anecdotes, history, and curious biography and literature of the pro- fession, in three elegant volumes, under Ihe title of " LAW AND LAWYERS." Portraits, and various engravings, add to its interest; and it is. altogether, one of the most brilliant productions of the season, In England, the supply of oak bark is so inade- quate to the demand, that the tanneries, in the vicinity of London alone, use annually from 7 to 8000 tons of foreign hark, at an expense of £ 1$ per ton, THE COMMERCIAL GSNTLSMAW. Heu! quanto minus est cum reliquis versari quam hif meminisse." During a tour in the west of England, in the long vacation, a college friend and myself pul up at an inn at Falmouth frequented hy COMMERCIAL GEN- TLEMEN. Anxious to see life in all ils varieties, we entered the traveller's room, the only ftunale of which vvas a fat, bustling, red- faced, self- important gentle- man, who was devouring oyslers with all his ener- gies. , My waggish friend, Waters, ever on tbe watch for a joke, al once accosted him :—" You are fond of oysters, 1 presume, Sir?" " Very, sir," afid he swallowed with a smack the last of six dozen. " Far be it from me to nlarm you, Sir," returned ihe oilier, with a countenance of ihe deepest concern, " but I own I feel surprised at your partiality for Falmouth oysters. You are; of course, aware, that, Iu conse- quence of the vicinity to the mines, they contain » portion of poisonous metallic substance, which causes sickness and swelling, and sometimes death to the oyster ealer." " Metallic substance.! poisonous ri. cinity I" returned Ihe man of journeys, petiishfy " I've eaten many a barrel of ojsiers in iny life- time. Sir, and"—" I hope you'll eat many more," inter- rupted Waters, " ihottgh, upon my soul, I doubt it. However, uu revoir ;" and we left him for a stroll about the town. On our relilrn lo slipper, afler an hour's ramble, we found llie Commercial Gentleman pacing up and down Ihe room, " non passitms acquis"— and evidently awaiting, with some anxiety, our re- appearance. "' Sir," said lie lo Waters, in Ihe most silvery tones, " I have been considering what yoil told me, and— and— I feel rather queer." Now don't let me alarm you," said Waters, wilh his most imperturbable face, " hut we remarked to each other, as we entered the room, that your coun- tenance was perceptibly altered."—" Now are you serious? oh dear! k bat shall I do >. Do ad vise me!" Call in a medical man directly,'* said ihe wicked wag, " and that no lime may lie lost, I myself wilt be the messenger." He soon found a couiilry pric- litioner, whom he summoned " to see a friend . if his of very shattered nerves, w ho fancies himself poisoned by eating a lew oysters !"— The affair in consequence took a new furii Afler Mr. Cobblestone had de- tailed his case with ihc utmost eurm- siiness, " Yes yes," says Ihe doctor to us in ri whisper, " I see very clearly how matters stand ; evidently disordered in the brain— wrong here;" anil be tapped in ( ho mosl knowing manner his own bald pericranium. " I'll humour liiin ! That's my line of practice!

The Com- mercial Gentleman vvas ll'ieti bled, and hurried off to' his pillow ; while Waters, determined lo keep up the joke, in assisting lo Undress him, secreted his waist- coat : We had ihen Ihe broad back token out, and a very narrow one substituted. Early Ihe nexi morn- ing I made a point of seeing the invalid. " I hope you aie belter, Mr. Cobblestone ?"—" Oh, I alii an well asever I was iu my life.— It was all a juke was'nt il ?" said he, with what vvas meant to be an insinuat- ing smile, " I knew it was. nll a joke, ha ! ha ! ha!" —" Well, I hope you will find it such," said I, slyly depositing the waistcoat, and making my exit. We had hardly begun breakfast, when the unforlunate Londoner rushed in ;— his eyes slaving— his teeth chattering — and desperation marked ou every fea- ture. " I'm a dead man— poisoned— done for- gone ! Look ! my waistcoat that 1 pulled off with ease last night, won't meet any when , hy 3 inches, this morning. Oh, I see it plainly— my hours are numbered— and I'm lo he another victim to these fatal oysters. Yes, from the fl- st moment you men- tioned it, I was sure it was all over wilh nip". I feel myself swelling every minute. Help— help— send for the surgeon — but it's in vain. I'm beyond the reach of medicine! Oh, dear! oh, dear! how very, very hard it is to die in this out- o' the- way place, and ail for the sake of a few oyslers ! For God's sake, gentlemen, take pity on a dying man ! my life's in- valuable to the firm. How long d'ye ibink I shall live? Have I time to make iny will ? Think of the firm ! What will they say, when they bear ol my untimely cud? I'm going — 1 feel it- my breath's leaving me— help! I say, help !"— The joke was now becoming serious; for the Commercial Gentleman was black in the face, and we determined on tellino liiin Ihe truth. He listened lo us wilh gliltcrin* eyes; al the conclusion, smiled in tbe mo. t ghastly manner; and then rushed precipitately out of the room. A full quarter of an hour was spent in inces- sant roars of laughter, and when that time bad elapsed, we sought liiiu with the landlady. She told us that oil leaving the room, he had called for his hill—" settled it like a lord"— ordered a chaise, and quitted the town.— The recollection of his coun- tenance when lie left us— half a dozen empty phials — 1111 enipty pill- box— a cooling mixture, and some saline draughts, were all we had to console us for tbe surgeon's bill of three guineas, which we had the pleasure of paying for our hoax on Ihe COMMERCIAL GENTLEMAN, BANKRUPTS, JAS.
