Dr. Solandcr's English Tea, many Years recommended and ap- moved by the late Sir Richard Jebb ( Physician to tbe King), and oilier eminent Physicians, in Pre- ference to Foreign Tea ( more particularly during ihe Spring und Summed Months), as the most, pleasant i and powerful restorative hitherto discovered, in all I nervous, bilious, and consumptive disorders, and in every other debility of the nervous system. This Tea, so pleasant to the taste and smell, is an eliectnal purifier of the blood,. mid by promoting gentle per- spiration powerfully- assuages those excruciating pains derived from the gout and rheumatism ; and is of sovereign efficacy in removing complaints of the head, invigorating the mind from those si'H created alarms which too frequently render the existence of nervous people intoleialde. Drank warm at night it promotes refreshing rest, and is a restorative cordial to the constitution of such as keep late, hours or live too freely.

Dr. James's Analeptic Pills AVE long established their decided superiority over every other Medicine hi. therto discovered for the cine of Colds, Rheumatic Attacks, Slight Fevers, and indeed all Disorders arising from obstructed Perspiration, ofsuch frequent occurrence in our changeable climate. Persons travelling find them most beneficial, as they are so mild in their effects as not to require any confine- ment. From the derangement < » f the digestive organs, bilious and nervous disorders arise, and the consequent result is head. ache, nausea, defective appetite, giddiness, and gouty symptoms; in these cases the Analeptic Pills afford constant relief, restoring hy degrees the functions of the stomach and bowels.

I see daily from my house three steam- engine chimneys smoking, one in the Fort, for boring and turning cannon; one ot Chandpaul Ghaut, for raising water to lay the dust in the streets of Calcutta ; and the other at the Mint. This last will be a splendid establish ment when completed ; the extent of the machinery will be half as great again as at the Royal Mint on Tower hill, and comprehends every possible opera, tion of coining on the largest scale, having no less than two forty horse steam engines, two of twenty, and one, of fourteen horse power. The whole oc- cupied about two thousand ton of shipping to bring it out. We had a steam- boat too, hot this has been sold lo Government, and sent to the wars at Rangoon. She iised to start at seven in the morn, iug, with the whole of the passengers of a shipj and put them on board at Saugur ( ninety miles from Calcutta) at live o'clock the same afternoon, and in moonligM nights return to Calcutta during the nighty ready / or a fresh trip to Saugur the next morning. Her success was so complete, that several engines for more boats are, I understand, on their way out; and it is quite obvious, that steam- boats will shortly supersede all others be- tween Calcutta and the principal upper stations. A PR./ icrrcAL Treatise on P. ul wavs and Loco- motivk E.^ g/ jviss, bit Nicholas Wood, of Killiniju- orHi Colliery ; with illus- trative Engravings, Svo. 12v. lioards. Mr. Wooo is well known to the mechanics of the north as the colleague of Mr. STEPHENSON, iu all those experiments ami improvements which have served to introduce the adoption of Loco- motive Steam engines, on Iron Rail- Ways. This Book H, therefore, the highest authority which can be had on iSie subject, aud it claims general attention, as well on the part of those who are interested iu these concerns, as of the public at large. U commences with a History of Rail- Ways, • containing many facts, slot hitherto known, relative to their introduction and gradual perfection, in which the Author exposes the errors of the early constructions, while he demonstrates the superiority of this mode of conveyance over canals and animal draught. He is not a theorist, but proves all his abatements by actual experiments, the details of which fill the concluding chapters of his Work, and are as curious and surprising as they are original and valuable. We are old enough to remember the opening of the first canals in England, and we have not for- gotten the wonder excited by the performance of the Bridgewater canal, near Manchester; and every reader is aware of that change in oor roads, which extended a day's journey from 2!) uiiles, fraught with dangers and fatigue, to 150 miles, m security and pleasure. We do not startle, there- fore, at the new discoveries which Messrs. WOOD and STEPHENSON have opened to the world ; and the rising generation will probably. live to see all communications made by the powers of steam ore Iron Rail- Roads, joining all the great towns iu the three kingdoms. Incredulity may start, yet the experiments and calculations of MR. WOOD, iu the work before us, render such a result highly probable, and every page of his Work proves him to be a man of fact as well as a sober man of business.

The many Thousands who have been emibled by it lo cure themselves with Secrecy and Dispatch, and its increasing Side, bear Testimony to its great Efficacy.

It is now used, in preference to any thing else, iu all the principal Farming Counties in En viand ; is also iu general demand in the Dairies of Midland, Ger- many, and Scotland ; and, in no small degree, con tributes lo enhance the value of their Cheese and Butter in the London Market.

I HUMAN TIME PIECE.— The following singular account appears in a recent number of a valuable French work, the Pibliothe tjve Universe He. J. D. Chevaliey, a native of Switzerland, aged has arrived at an astonishing degree of perfection iu reckoning time by an internal movement. In his youth he was accustomed to pay great attention to the ringing of bells, and vibrations of pendulums, and by degrees he acquired the power of continuing a succession of intervals exactly equal to those which the vibrations or son .

Being on board the steam boat on the Lake of Geneva, on July 14, 1823, he engaged to indicate to the crowd about him the elapse of a quarter of an hour, or as many minutes and seconds as any one chose lo name, and this during a conversation the most diversified with those standing by ; and farther, to indicate by the voice, the moment when the hand, passed over the quarter minutes, or half, minutes, or any other subdivision previously stipulated, during the whole course of the eXperi ment. This he did without mistake, notwithstand ing the exertions of those about him to distract his attention, and clapped his hand at the conclusion of the time fixed. His own account of il is thus given:—" I have acquired by imitation, labour and patience, a movement which neither thoughts nor labour, nor any thing can stop. Il is similar to that of a pendulum which at each motion of going and returning gjves me the space of three seconds, so that twenty of them make a minute, and these I add lo others continually.'" LORD BYRON. A Book, entitled " The Last Days of Lord Byron, wiih his Lordship's opinion on various subjects," has just been published by Mr. Parry, who was one of the persons about Lord Byron at. the time of his leath — his brigade- major and engineer ; and he has given us a view of matters, at least widely different from any previously published. A very few days before his Lordship's death, Mr P relates: 44 It was seven o'clock iu the evening when 1 saw him, and then I took a chair at his request, sat down by his bed- side, and remained till ten o'clock." * Parry he said, ' 1 have much wished to see yon to- day. have had most strange feelings, but my head is now better; 1 have no gloomy thoughts, and. no idea but that ! shall recover. I am perfectly col lected— I am sure I am in my senses— but a tnelan holy will creep over me at times.' The mention of the subject brought the melancholy topics back, and a few exclamations shewed what occupied Lon Byron's mind when he was left in silence and soli tude. 4 Mv wife! mv Ada! my country! thesitua lion of this place — my removal impossible, and perhaps . death— all combine to make me sad. Since I have been ill, I have given to all my plans much serious consideration. When 1 left Italy, I bad time on board the brig to give full scope to memory and reflection. It was then 1 came to that resolution I have already informed you of. I am convinced of the happiness of domestic life. No man on earth respects a virtuous woman more than I do; and the prospect of retirement in England with my wife and Ada gives me au idea of happiness 1 have never experienced before. Retirement will he every thing to me, for heretofore my life has been like the ocean in a storm,' 14 4 You have no conception of the unaccountable thoughts which eqino into my mind when the fever attacks me. [ fancy myself a Jew, a Mahummeilan, and a Christian of every piofession of faith. Eternity and space are before me ; but on this subject, thank God, 1 am happy and at ease. The thought of living eternally, of again reviving, is a great plea sure. Christianity is the purest and most liberal religion in the'world; but the numerous teachers, who are continually worrying mankind with their denunciations and their doctrines, are the greatest enemies of religion. 1 have read wiih more attention than half of theui the Book of Christianity, and I admire tlie liberal and truly charitable principles which Christ lias laid down. There are questions connected with thissubject w hich none but Almighty God can solve. Time aud space, who can conceive — none but God : on him I rely.'" POPULAR BOOKS.

FOIE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER brought down a Royal Message similar to that laid before the Lords. M r. Piikington being reported in c'ustody, hf was ordered to the bar on the motion of Mr. PEEL. The Speaker then informed him that he had committed a breach of the privileges ofthe House, by presum- ing to forge a petition, purporting to come from Certain Protestant inhabitants of Ballinasloe in favour of Catholic Emancipation; and that he was brought to that bar to state any thing he might have fo urge in extenuation of his otf'enCe. Mr. Pilkiugton stated tliiit he threw himself on the mercy of the House ; that he was the sole'contriver of the petition; that he was now conscious of the wrong he had clone ; but that no person whatever had assisted or advised him to the error he had committed— and trusted that this confession and the indisposition under which he laboured would induce the Honourable House to visit his offence with , lenience.— The prisoner having withdrawn, Mr. PEEL said, after the explicit declaration made by this Gentleman, as well before the Committee as at their bar, he saw no reason to treat him with severity, more particularly as he had completely exculpaied every other, person by avowing himself the sole author of the imposition practised on the House. After a short conversation, Mr. PEEL gave notice that he. would move ott Monday that he be discharged from the custody of the Serjeant at • Anns ou payment of his fees. Mr. BROUGHAM obtained leave to bring in a feilf to establish a University in London ; which, however, was threatened to be opposed in its subse- quent stages. STATE OF IRELAND. Mr. RICE, in rising to bring forward his motion for the production of the official correspondence of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, would not detain the House long. He contended that if any docu- ments existed relating to the religions animosities ; in Ireland, the opinions of that enlightened and distinguished Statesman ought to be given to the j House, as their production would tend to diminish that irritation which the rejection of the Catholic Relief Bill would produce in Ireland. With a view to allay these irritations, to do justice to the Government of Ireland if it had expressed an opinion, to rebuke and censure that Government if it had expressed no opinion, he beg- ged to move, 4< that an humble address be presented to l; is Ma- jesty, that he would be graciously pleased to give directions that there be laid before the House copies or extracts of letters or despatches received from the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, respecting* the origin, nature, and progress of religious animosi- ties in that country, aiid the best means of allaying those animosities, with a view to the tranquilliza- tion and good Government of Ireland, and the strength and security of the Empire." Mr. GOULPURN saw 110 ground whatever for the motion, and should vote against it; but if it was the intention of the Hon. Member, by the production of the papeu, to enter into an examination of the Lord Lieutenant, it would have been better at once to have made that proposition. Sir JOHN NEWPORT thought it highly essential that the Legislature should he put in possession of the opinion of a man so highly gifted, who took th ® nmee in peril and difficulty, and w| io restored tranquil! itv with the assistance of the Catholics. .( Vii\ \ tliovVNlow recommended the House to adopt the motion of his lloii. Friend 5 arid Mi. PEEL objected to the motion as • unnecessary. The .. Noble Mfirqui*. bad recorded his opinion in the only vi. o- i. nif nan the vppxrrt, utiity irt-" d'Oltiby for*, warding his proxy in Rupport of the Catholic Relief Bill :• consequently it was unnecessary fi> conceal Lo'd WellesfiVs sentiments ; and he* ( Mr Peel) could only add, that there could be littlp doubt that " hib present opinions did not differ. from his recorded ; sentiments. > # . ' Mr. BROUGHAM, in an animated harangue, sup- ported the . motion, and concluded by hoping, that Ireland, true to herself, union prevailing, aud violence having given place to steady opposition, would still be righted ; ntid be sincerely trusted lhat that distracted country would work o'ut her own salvation. Mr. CANNING, in an eloquent speech, SAID, that among the higher and enlightened classes con- siderable progress had been made— that the resist- ance of that class to Catholiq Emancipation was more of a passive than an active nature, and where- eve. ir it had been goaded into activity they had to thank some of the friends of the Catholic Question Had'the country been left unloaded, there would have been no activity in opposition. A Noble Friend of bis in another place ( the Earl of Liverpool) had been charged with conforming in the late ex pres.. •- sion of his sentiments on this question to the ex- ample of a more influential quarter. His Noble Friend would disdain any adulatory conformity to the opinions of others, however exalted ; and that Noble Lord had summarily disposed of every idle objection of the Coronation Oath as being an im- pediment to the concession of the Catholic Claims The Right Hon. Gentleman concutded by earnestly requesting the Hon. Member iiiot to press the motion to a division. After a few explanations from Mr. RICE, the motion was withdrawn. HOUSE OF LORDS— FRIDAY. The Address to the Crown to grant £ 6000 per annum for the infant Princess of Kent, and au equal sum for the Duke of Cumberland's son, was moved by Earl LIVERPOOL, seconded by Earl DARN LEY, and carried'without a dissentient voice. On the nrofion for the second reading of the Equityble LOI) n Bank Bill, the LORD CHANCELLOR declared, that he did not concur in the opinion of tbe Court, of King's Bench, which allowed a quali- fied legality to Joint Stock Companies acting with out charter or other legal act of incorporation in his judgment, he said, adding1 that he had consi- dered the subject deeply, all acts of such Companies were illegal and void. A motion for calling-. }, » . Counsel was carried by a majority of 29 to 10. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRJDAY. A discussion arose on the proposed augmentation of the income of the Duke of Cumberland for the maintenance of the young Prince. '. Objections were made to the grant on account of the Duke's con- tinual residence abroad. Some Hon, Members thought £ 6000 a- year. too much, and others were only anxious to secure the education of the Prince in England, which the Ministers pledged them- selves to be tlie case. Mr. HUME, however, di vided the House, when the grant was voted by a majority of 105 to 55. The Grant for the infant Princess of Kent passed , unanimously. [ In the course of the discussion, several allusions • Were made to the embarrassments of the Duke of York; when some Members observed that, as Hi:-; Royal Highness did not come to, trouble the House about his debts, it was not very delicate thus to discuss his pecuniary affairs.] LONDON— SATURDAY.

Y. j, JAMAICA — We ropy the following letter, dated ' Kingston, March 26,' from the Liverpool Adver- tiser of Saturday last " The schooner Eliza and Mary, Capf>. Staples, from Liverpool, bound to Alvarado, with. a valjia. blej cargo of dry goods, struck on ihe shoal roqks,; about nine miles from Aux Caves, at ten p. ill oil, the night of tbe I6tll ult. Next morning' the super- cargo, Mr. Lister, went ou shore at Artx Cayes to get assistance, and if possible to get the vessel off. Fortunately, his Majesty's ship Helicon, Captain, Fnrber, from this island, hove iu sight about half, an hour afterwards. The supercargo repaired on board of her, and represented the' unfortunate circumstance to Capt. Furber, who, with Charac- teristic humanity, immedi:. te| y ordered his barge, with a lieutenant, one midshipman, six marines, and ten seamen, to proceed to her, aud protect her from being plundered ; and Ibe same evening pro- ceeded with the ship under his command to render eveiy assistance to the Eliza and Mary ; but, unfortunately, she had gone on the reef, and with such a force, that it was impossible to get her off. They, therefore, proceeded to unload her, and, with tbe exertions of Capt Furber, his officers, and crew, assisted by Capt. Erskiue, of the brig Flora, of Dundee, and Capt. Burton, of the brig —, of London, with their crews, succeeded iu saving about four hundred packages front tbe wreck, three hundred of which are sound, au. d the remainder damaged, Tbe wreck' was abandoned the same night, as Capt, Furber could not'stay any longes- to protect her, be being compelled to proceed tbe next morning for Maracaibo, with despatches. The vessel had six feet water in her hold previously to her abandonment, and every praise is due to Capt. Furber, his officers, and crew, and also to those of the merchant service, for their unremitted exertions in sai ing so great a proportion of the cargo." It is with pleasure we inform our readers that Captain Furber is a native of Drayton, iu this county, and eldest son of William Furber, Esq. of that place. He has long and ardently devoted himself to the service of his King and country, and during the time be lias been ill ihe Navy has fre- quently distinguished himself by his gallantry. In 1803 aiid ! 804 he « » « in the Blenheim, in the West Indies, under Capl. Turns, and, whilst there, signa- lized himself— lst, in commanding a single boat and catling out the Hertiiione French privateer, of 14 guns and 70 men, for which intrepid service he had the honour of having a sword ( Of the value of i' 50) presented to him from the Patriotic Fund at Lloyd s.— 2dly, iu capturing, after rowing several miles in tbe heat of the day, after a smart action w ith grape & innsquetry, ibe Fortune French priva- teer schooner, ofi gun's; < i s « tvMs, and 32 men.— And, 3dly, by ' lie bravery he evinced iSn the 5th of March, lS'' 4,' in endeavouring lo cut out ( from St.: Pierre's, Martinique) a man of war schooner ( guard vessel). This attempt, though unsuccess- f.- l, -. tits considered by Sir Samuel Hood h! gliryiiououraj) l# to Capt. Fnrber aiid the party of 2 boats and, 50 men which he cominanded. The. eneiuy w^ re per- fectly apprized of their intention : the vessel carried 1<> guns and 32 swivels, with a complement of 70 men, to which was added a reinforcement of 70 soldiers from the land. The aitaek was made about two o'clock in the morning, and, notwith- standing tbe most tremendous tire which opened upon them on their approach, they succeeded in getting alongside, when, to their mortification, they found that the enemy had their nettings up and were chained lo tbe shore: this, however, did not daunt their gallantry ; but, after fighting with the most determined courage for nearli half an hour, during which 2s out of ihe 50 men were either killed or wounded, including-, amongst the latter, all the officers ( Capt. Furber niosi severely over the left eye), they were compelled to retire. Though repulsed, Sir Samuel Hood nnd Capt. Turris Spoke of their retreat! a. being almost as meritorious as if tbe attempt had succeeded^ and expressed the highest approbation of their gallant co duel. In Nov. 1806, then in the Flora, Captain Bland, on the coast, of Portugal, after ti hours' hard rowing in the boats, he captured the Expedite Spanish lugger, of 4 guns, 6 swivels, a'rid' 24 men„:, Besides the instances abovemeutibned,* , Captain Furber's courage was shewn at tiie raptiiro ot' the' West India Islands at two different periods, as well as iit several skirmishes ; also when on board the Ardent, in the memoiable attack made by the immortal Nelson upon Copenhagen. To this short account we may also add, that tiirice has he bad the misfortune to be shipwrecked : l* t, in the . Un- daunted, on the Morant Quays ; 2d! v, in the Flora, on the coast of Holland, where he was made pri- soner ; and, 3dlv, inthe Lively, on the Island of Malta.

[ From the Chester Courant.] II is oar painful duty this week to record the death of the above highly- esteemed and evfr- to- be- Jament. d Baronet, which melancholy event took place on Tuesday last, at bis cottage, at Richmond, and was, we fear, hastened by a cold caught at Epsom races on tb « preceding Thuisday. Thus have wo lost a most valuable man-- one whose true worth, both as a private acntlemftn and as a public character, is ton well known and appreciated in this city, and in the county in which he resided, to render necessary any observations of our own. liut to distant reader*, we may, perhaps, be allowed to sav, no man ever lived more beloved and respected, or died more deeply lamented, than Sir John Grey Egerton. ilia manners amongst his equals were easy ami ei gaging, and to his in- feriors in rank, kind and condescending. His friendships were not I'ffbtly formed! but once fixed, were sincere and unchangeable His integrity was inflexible. His henevo- lence unbounded. In private nnd domestic life his affections were warm and endearing: in public life, his attachment to his king and to llis country was steadfast and immove- able. On the retirement of R. E, D. Grosvenor, Esq in 1807, 3ir John, then Mr. Egerton, was solicited to become a candidate for the representation of this city in Parliament, and on the 6t. h of May in that year, be was elected one of its members by the unanimous voice of the citizens at large, added to the unanimous vote of tile corporation in his favour. On the dissolution, in 1812, he was forced into a contest for the representation of the city with the House of Eaton, by an ungracious threat, held out against iiim by the head of tiiat pousft at a public meeting at the Ex- change; and, after one of the severest contests iijion record, he was again returned one of its representatives. Truly and appropriately was he, from that time, called " the Champion of the independence of Chester;" for he then, for the firat time, established against ait the wealth and power of the House of Eaton, supported by the united efforts of the corporation, the. elective franchise within this city Towards the close of that session of Parliament, the health of the lamented Baronet made a foreign residence necessary; and be announced bis intention of retiring from the. heavy duties of Parliament. During the period io which lie sat in Parliament, the welfare of the citizens of Chester seemed his anxious care. As it private member, no constituent ever applied to hisn in vain; and if tiie object was attainable, disappointment never followed tile application. As a legislator, his votes were uniformly guided by a conscientious discharge of duty, without considering on which side of the House he sat. His principles were what are called true Church and King, and though he was firmly attached to the govern- ment. and was generally considered a ministerial member, on great constitutional questions, he voted either with the Minister or with the Opposition, as his unbiassed , ju< i;- meiit directed. Sir John was the eldest son ofthe. late Philip Egerton, Esq. of Broxton and ol'OUltoll; lie was born at the former place on the 11th July, I7 « ii, and married ou the 9th of hept. 1795, to Maria, daughter of Thomas Scott Jackson, Esq. one of the Directors' of the Bank Of England, by whom he leaves nn issue. He succeeded to the title in Sept. 1814, Oil the death of* the late Sir Thomas Egerton, afterwards Earl of Wilton ( father of Countess Grosveaor), as the head of the senior branch of that family. This ancient Cheshire family descends from John de Bel ward Ir Malpas, who lived in the reign of William Rufits, and was, after enjoying the honour of Knighthood for several centuries, raised tovthe Baronetage in 1( 517. six years after tiie institution of the order, by King James the First. It is now represented by the Rev. Philip Egertoii, Rector of the Upper Mediety of the parish of Malpas, who succeeds to the Baronetage " and family estates.

The li^ htnihg was extremely vivid, and the peals of thunder wer most appalling: the two first crashes, resembled the discharge of a number of heavy pieces of ordnance.— A flash of lightning struck the machine- shop of Messrs.

Immediate alarm was given, and a considerable number of persons as- sembled, who instantly engaged in clearing away the ruins,, with the view ot extricating him. His body was discovered in tbe course of an hour, after removing an immense mass of bricks, timber, and rubbish, hot it was so shockingly crushed and mangled as scarcely to be . recognized.•— Thirteen individuals slept in the front part of the house, Mr. Card well, his wife, his children, and some lodgers, but none of them sustained the slightest injury.-— One of the windows at the White Lion public house, adjoining to Mr. Card well's residence, was shattered to. pieces by the . eleetric- fbud.; and a bed and some other furniture were damaged by it in a room in which two soldiers were sleeping, but on being awaked a short time afterwards, they ap- peared quite unconscious of what had happened.— An inquest was held on the body of Mr. Lorn on Tuesday; and the Jury returned a verdict ot " Accidentally killed, by the falling of a chimney " DISTRESSING CATASTROPHE.— A melancholy accident, from the incautious use of fire- arms, occurred at the Poitcullis Inn, at Badminton, Gloucestershire, on Monday w< t k. The sou - of Mr. Daw, the landlord, had benn using a gun for the purpose of shooting a rat, and had pot it in the manger in the stable, loaded, where he suffered it to remain a few days. A- younger brother, not knowing the gnu to be charged, took it up, and presented it at some people about the stable, and t length pulled the trigger, just at ibe instant of the entrance of another brother, about nine years old; when the whole of the charge lodged in his head! An inq » est was held before VV. Joy tier Ellis, Esq. Coroner, and a verdict returned of Homicide by Misadventure; and the gun was deemed to be forfeited.

IIOKRIR MURDER..— A strong sensation has been caused in Rath by the discovery of a most diabolical murder — Ou Tuesday morning, as a young man was walking along ibe bank of the iver Avon, nearly opposite llie North Parade, he bsenifd a sack, apparently filled, ly, ing near the edge of ( he water. Curiosity ' led him to inquire further, mid having obtained assistance, the sack was dra wn out aud opened, when, horrible to elate, the dead body of a man, shockingly mu- tilaled, and in a state of complete nudity, was Uncovered !— Thw corpse was removed to. ii hduse n Grove- streel, where a more minute examination 10k place. The. tmfoi lunate man ( who had been labbed lo ihe heart) appeared between 50. and 60 years of age, about 5 feet 3 inches high, lieud nearly bald, and the upper front teelh, except one, de- layed: there were also the appearances of old ulcers Oil both legs. The name " James Sbep. rd," was marked on the sack in which the body was found,— An inquest was held the same day, when some persons carue forward lo endeavour io identifv the deceased, but in consequence of the corpse having been so long in the water ( 10 days it is supposed), such altempts were unayaiung. The jury ultimately returned a verdict of" Wilful" Murder against some person or persons unknown •" and thus the perpetrators of this dark deed must remain undiscovered, unles » the finger of Pro- vidence, by some signal interposition, points them out for punishment, and lire detestation of Iheir fellow, men. RESUSCITATION— Oo the evening of Timrs. lay lust, at u liitle after eight o'clock, a boy about 8 years of age, son of Mr. Rohe, is, hair- dresser, in Norihgiite- street, Chester, fill into the locks, near the swing bridge, lending lo . ihe' slirice- house • an immediate alarm was given, mid prnnlpi ussistahce* rendered by those iieai tiie spot to resi n., ihe boy from n watery giave, lint before lie. could be gut out of the waier, which was effected bv a I, out hook and u. drag .' lelonging. io the Humane Society obinin'ed at Mr. Moss's; he had been iiuuieised it is supposed t lea. l five minutes, and was conveyed without any appearance of liie to ihe Flint and :\„ gil| t hout- liouse lit the Crone.

He was now put to bed, and in the morning he awoke without the least idea of what had happened to him. A short time since, a girl, about ten years of age, was precipitated into the river near the Avon Cottages, at Widcombe, Somerset. Immediate as- sistance was rendered, but it was full seventeen minutes before the body could be taken out of the waiter, when- it was in a state of suspended animation.

STEAM NAVIGATION,— The expedition and certainty of stt am navigation is such, that Captain Rule, of the Eclipse, Margate steam packet, on leaving London last Sunday, told many of his passengers within two minutes of the time he should arrive at his destination, and on Saturday his vessel left Margate at eight o'clock in the morning, and arrived at her moorings, near the Tower, before half- past two o'clock in the after- noon, being a distance of 9* 2 miles in six hours und a half, or 14 miles an hour.

E. the task of replying generally lo the letter of the Rev. Samuel Jones, inserted'in your last Journal, there are one or two points which i cannot help noticing. He contends that lite ( Roman) Catholic Religion is not from principle intolerant,— says that he has not discovered that it inculcates persecution, — and denies that Ihe assertion " that no faith is to he kept with heretics" is a doctrine of llie Roman Catholic religion. 3 do not profess to he intimately acquainted wilh the peculiar doctrine* of that Church, and would willingly believe Mr. Jones, did not I find publications issuing from persons holding authority therein, which are completely at variance with his statement; and ns I presume lie will hardly deny the supremacy and iufallibility of the different Individuals who have occupied the Papal Chair, I will at once refer hint and your readers to the first Constitution pro. mitigated by Pope Innocent IV. beginning " Cum adretsus;" which, amongst other equally intolerant and persecuting laws, contains the following : " 1. That Heretics condemned hy the Roman Catholic Church, & c. are to be handed over lo the secular power for punishment ( where the secular j/ otcer supports this tribunal J. 2. That heretics, though penitent, are to he taken up every where, and consigned to the Inquisitors I. Their appeals arc not to he listened to, received. 8. Their descendants, to the second generation, are to be deprived uf their temporal benefices and public offices. 10. Are carefully to be kept in custody until they are condemned II. Hetesy is to he accounted among public crimes, and adjudged greater than the crime of Iii 12. Impenitent heretics are to be burned alive. 15. Heretics are to be always looked upon and considered as infamous people, and not tube confided in : that their goods are lo lie confiscated ; nnd that their children cannot inherit their property. 19. That these laws are universal, and are to be observed ami put in execution everywhere, Sic. 20. That heresy is never lo he tolerated; but, on flic contrary, is always to be punished." Pope Boniface VOL afterwards confirmed the above laws; and Pope Clement V. made a similar constitution against repealing the punishments pre- scribed by his predecessors against heretics. Pope John XlH. in his first constitution Inei pie us ( ex parte j says, " The crime of he esy, by Us own iinpi. lv, exceeds all other iinptety ; it is more execrable than all oilier crimes, and therefote calls aiiiutl for more sevete punishments than all other crimes do,'' , . . Laws of a similar intolerant and persecuting spirit which it would be a waste of time to notice, have at different periods issued from the Pupal Chair ; and Po'ie Gregory IX. promulgated a Constitution by which " ere 11/ man is f eed from all duly, homa allegiance, or s'lborrliricitinn whalsoerer, due lo a heretic whether by a natural, cir. il, or political riujitWhilst, even at the present. day, lite Irish Roman Catholic Bishops, on the day of their conse. .• ration, take an oath of allegiance lo the reigning .,.,, 1 hi » successors, in which, as lias been stater hy a R iinnn Catholic Clcryyinan, who was tiiinset present, is the fallowing passage, " I wiil persecute hurt fight against all heretics, schismatics, und rebels to oil? lord'the I'ope and his successors.'' 1 These, Sir. Editor, leave no doubt upon my mind as to what are the principles, and what, I fear, would h ' ihe practice of the Romish Chinch, were they once more possessed ef that power which, happily for Great Britain, it has been deprived of, but which its members tire strenuously < mlcuvuatiug, I hope in vain, lo regain. Tlterij is another passage in Mr. Jones's lette which strikes me as contrary lo fact. lie says speaking of the Edict of Nautes, that " the very existence of that Edict allowing toleration to the Protestant subjects of France, and coniinitin, force under inure than one Catholic Monarch, proves that the Catholic religion does hot require into, lerance. The Revocation of the Edict was the act of Louis 14th,— let is* us he responsible for it." The f, inner pail of this passage is refilled by w hat I have said above, and the curious document of Father La Chaise ( Confessor to Louis "' IV.), that I have sub- joined, which lias perhaps been read hut hy very few of yuui; renders, but which may he seen in the 7th Vol. dto. of the collection of manuscript papers, & c. selected front the binary of Edward Harley Earl of Oxford, will, I think, prove that the Revocation of that Edict was not the voluntary Act of Louis XIV. but was forced from hint by the peculiar discipline and intolerant spirit of the Roman Catholic Rt ligion. Mr, Jones does not like letters without real signa. T HITS, neither in a general way do I; still, as it is not the name of the writer, bill the strength of his argument, that is to decide the question, I do not see anv necessity for adding mine, and shall, there- lore, subscribe myself, A SALOPIAN. Father La Chaise's Project for the Extirpation of Heretlcks. In a Letter from him to Father Peters, Confessor to King Jarhes the Second, 1888. WORTHY I'RIEXB, 1 received yoi. r's of the twentieth of June lasl, and am very glad to bear of your good success, and that onr party gains ground so fast in England ; hut, ciiiiceruing the question you have put to nie, that is. What is the be3t course to be taken to root out all tiie heretieks ? To Ihis I answer : There are divers ways lo il l that, but we must consider which is ( he best to make use of in England. I am sure, you are tint ignorant, how many thousand hereticks we have, iu France, by the power of onr dragoons, converted in i! lt. space of one year, anil, by the doctrine of those hooted apostles, turned more in one month limn Christ and his apostles could in ten years. This is a must excellent method, and far excels those ot' the gr.' iil preachers and teachers, that have lived since Christ's time, lint I have spoken with divers fathers of onr society, who do think, that your king is not strung enough to accomplish his design by such kind of force, so that we cannot expect to have ,.: tr work done in that manner; for the hereticks are too strong iu the three kingdoms, aud therefore we inn*! seek to convert them by fair means, before we full upon litem with fire, sword, halters, gaols, MII. I o+ lti'i' such- like punishments ; and therefore I cau » ive yon no better advice than to begin with soft easy means. Wheedle them in by prntnises of profit and oflices of honour, till you have made them dip themselves in treasonable uclluns against the laws established, nnd then they are hound lo serve . fur fear. When they have done thus, turn them out und serve others so, by putting them in their places, aud by this way gain as many as you can. And, for t il- heretickx that are in places of profit and honour, lurii llieui out, or suspend them on pretence of mis- behaviour, bv which their places are forfeited, and thev subject to what judgment you please to ( jive upon them. Then you ntnsCform a camp, thnt mint consist of nunc but catltolicks; this will make tin' hereliuks heartless, and conclude all means of relief anil recovery is gone. And, lastly, take the short and the best way, which is, to surprise tlie sudden. Anil, to encourage Ihe zeal- ous calholii'ks, let them sacrifice them all, and wash their hands in their blood; which will be an accept- able offering to God. And Ihis was Ihe method I junk iu Fiance, which hath well, you see, succeeded ; but it cost mo many threats and promises, before I Could bring ii thus far, our king being a long time very unwilling. Bui at la. I I got him on the hip; for he had lain with his daughter- in- law, for which I would hy no means » ' ive htm absolution, till he had given mean instrument, under his own hand aud seal, In sacrifice ali the heretics in one day. Now, as suon as 1 had my desired commission, I appointed the day when this should he done, and, iu Ihe mean time, made ready some thousands of letters, to be sent into all parts of France in one |> » st- uigl> t. I was never better pleased, than that time; but the king was affected with some compassion for the Ilugonots, because they bad been a means to bring him to his ciown and limine; and, the longer be was under it, Ihe more sorrowful lie was, often complaining, and desiring me to give him his commission again : but th t I would by no persuasion do, advising him to repent of that heinous sin, and also telling him, that the trouble at\ d horror of his spirit did uot proceed from any thing of evil iu those things that were to be but from that great wickedness which lie bad done; and that he must resolve to undergo the severe burden of a troubled mind for one of them,' or the other, and, if he would remain satisfied as it was, his sin being forgiven, there would, in a few days, be a perfect atonement made for it, and he perfectly reconciled to God again. But all this would not pacify him, for the longer the more restless; and therefore 1 ordered him to retire to his closet, and there spend his time constantly in prayer, without permitting any one to interrupt him ; and ihis was in the morning: early, when, the evening following*, I was to send away all my letters. I did indeed make the more haste, for fear he should disclose it to any body; yet i had given him a strict charge to keep it to himself, and the very thing,- that I most feat'ed, to my great sorrow, came to pass; for, just in the nick of time, the devil, who bath always his instruments at work, sent, the Prince oi' Go ride to the court, who asked for the king : he was told, that he was iu his closet, and would speak with no man : he impudently answered, That he must and would speak with him; and so went directly to his closet ; lie being a great peer, no man durst hinder him. And, being come to the king, he soon perceived, by his countenance, that he was under some great' trouble of mind, for he looked as if he had been going into the other world immediately. Sir, said he, what is the matter with y'ou ? The king at the first refused to tell him, but, he pressing harder upon him, at last the king, with a sorrowful cofn- laint, burst out, and said : 4 I have given Father La Chaise a commission, under my baud, to murder all the Hugonots, iu one day, and this evening will the letters be dispatched to all parts, by the post, for the performing it; so that there is but small time left for my Hugotiot subjects to live, who have never done me an v harm,' Whereupon this cursed rogue answered, ' Let. him give you your coin mis- sion again.' The king said, 4 How shall I get ii out of his hand? For, if 1 send to him for it, he will refuse to send it.' This devil answered, If your majesty will give me order, i will quickly make him return it.' The king was soon per- suaded, being willing to give ease to his troubled pirit, and said: 4 Well, go then, and break his neck, if h'e will not. give it to you.' Whereupon, this son of the devil went to the post- house, and asked, if I had not a great number of letters there? and thev said, Yes, more than I had sent thither iu a whole year before. Then, said the prince, 4 By orderfrom the king, you must deliver them all to me:' which they durst not deny, for they knew we'll enough who* he was. And no stfoner was he got into the post- house, and had asked these ques- tions, but I came also in after him, to give order lo the post- master to give upiice to all those under him, in tthe several parts of the kingdom, that they should take care to deliver my letters with ail speed imaginable. But 1 was no sooner entered the house, but he gave his servants order to secure the door, and said confidently to me, 4 You must, by order 4 from the king, give me the commission, which you 4 have forced from him.' I told him 1 had it not about me, but would go and fetch if, thinking: to get from him,- and so go out of town, and send the con- tents of those letters another time; but lie said, 4 Yon must give it me ; and, if you have if not about 4 von, send somebody to fetch if, or else never expect 4 to go alive out of my hands; for I have an order 4 from the king either to bring it, or break your 4 neck ; and I am resolved either to carry back that 4 to Iiitu in my handy or your heart's blood on the 4 point of my sword.' I would have made my escape, but lie set his sword to' iny breast, aud said, 4 You must give it me, or die; therefore deliver it, 4 or else this goes through your body.' So, when I saw nothing else would do, I put my hand in my pocket and gave if him ; which he cariied immediately to the king, and gave him that and all my letters, which they burnt; and, being all done, the king said, now his heart, was at ease. Now how ® he should, be eased by the devil, or so well satisfied with a false joy, I cannot tell: but this I know, that it was a very wicked and ungodly action, as well in his majesty, as the Prince of Conrte, and did not a Utile increase the burl ben and danger of his majesty's sins. T soon gave an account of tins affair to several fathers of our society, who promised to do their best to- prevent the aforesaid prince's doing such another net; which was accord, iugly done, for, within the space of six days after the " damned action, he was poisoned, and well he deserved it. The king also did suffer too, bur iu another fashion, for disclosing the design- to the prince, and Hearkening to his counsel. And many time since, when I have had him at confession, I have shook hell about his ears, and made him, sigh, fear, and tremble, before I would give him absolu- tion ; nay, more than that, I have made him beg for it oil his knees, before 1 would consent to absolve him. Bv this, I saw that he had still au inclination to me, and was willing to he under my government so I, set the baseness of the action before him, by telling the whole story, and how wicked it was; and that it could not he forgiven, till he had done some good action to balance that, and expiate th crime. Whereupon, he at last asked me what h must do? I told him, that he must root out all the hereticks from his kingdom : so, when he saw there was no rest for him, without doing if, he did again give them all into the power of me and our clergy, under this condition, that we would not murder them, he had before given orders, but that we should by fair means, or force, convert them to the Catholick religion; to which end he gave ns his dragoons to be at our devotion and service, that we might use them as we saw convenient, to convert . them to the true religion. Now, when we had got the commis- sion, we presently put il iu practice, aud, what the issue of it hath been, you very well know. Butyp^ w., in England, the work cannot be done after this manner, as you may perceive by what I have said to you; so that 1 cannot give you better counsel, than to take that course iu hand wherein we were so unhappily prevented ; and I doubt not, but that it may have better success with you than with us, would write to you of many other things, but that I fear I have already detained you too long; wherefore I shall write no more at present, but that I am Your friend and servant, LA CHAISE.

Remember that hy again electing men who show this disposition, you wiil give them an authority for similar conduct hereafter!! Consider the evils you will be answerable for if you again choose men who hav'e thus acted ; men, who, as far as their voice aud power extended, would have set up the Church of Route among ns in the plenitude of her power, and would have admitted her members to the rule and government of a Protestant Church and State.

Mark them— reject them,' not only now, but for ever here- after, from the rank of your Representatives!! and, lest they should be succeeded by others who may be equally ill disposed, require a. firm pledge from all whom you may elect, that they will not support the Catholic Claims now or hereafter; and let that pledge be the condition on which your support is riven to . them.

A PROTESTANT. jftigteifcttiita* MUllittntc. ROMAN CATHOLICS. The Dublin Evening Post has a long article on the subject of the late decision, which may be taken as a sort of manifesto of the Roman Catholics that newspaper being their acknowledged organ. The inference which is drawn from the speech of the Earl of Liverpool is, that it is perfectly con- elusive as to the hopes of the Catholics : Argument," savs the writer, 44 on the speech of the Noble Earl is out of the question ; for he has taken care that Ireland shall no longer be considered a question of Logic. It would be easy, we think, to demolish every one of his positions ; but, really, the time for this give- and- take work — this pass- and parry, has gone by. His Lordship's mind is made up— ithe mind of that Illustrious Assembly in which he bears sway, has been very Unequivocally declared. It is this— THAT NEITHER NOW, NOR AT ANY FUTURE PERIOD, SHALL THE CATHOLICS OF IRELAND OBTAIN THE FREEDOM FOR WHICH THEY HAVE PRAYED SO OFTEN AND SO FERVENTLY.' 44 This is the decision of the House of Lords-— of that House wlfich, after all, makes the House of Commons." * # # * 44 One valuable lesson the Catholics have learned — that nothing they have offered will be attended to; that the hostility of their enemies advances, in proportion to the. extent of their concessions. They haye tried every course. Agitation bus been met byv a mixture of wheedling and of force. When another policy was recommended— that of sacrificing to the prejudices of their opponents— when they have swept away every argument that might he derived from their violence, they are met upon the threshold at once, without disguise— Lord Liverpool throws off the mask, aud tells them, in round terms, that they have no business to linger about the portals of the Constitution— that they shall never he allowed to enter — that, while they are Catholics, they must be excluded— tiiat the ban of the Empire is upon them, and tliat the curse, like that endured by the people of Israel, shall never be removed from them, nor from their children, nor from . their children's chil- dren", Thus saith the Prime Minister of George IV. — thns saiih the Church of England — thus saith the proud and powerful Oligarchy of the British Em- pire." # ^ # 44 One plan, at all events, is forced upon the Ca- tholics: The Established Church' has declared war open, undisguised, interminable, and eternal, r; ainsl them. Now, we would not go fo- war with that great and wealthy, ami powerful Corporation— hut we would not allow it to gorge the splendid banquet, for which the ' Catholic pays, in quiet. Philrp should have at his elbow a monitor, who would whisper, while the goblet was going down— 4 Thou art a man !'' All the Tagha'does in the kingdom should be arrayed in due order— and ail the circumstances eomieeteH with them exposed. This retaliation is only justice. The Established Church will have prevented the introduction of Bs itish capital into this Island. It is only just that they should share, in some degree, in the suffering they inflict. The Church has been long since immortalized by Grattan for the injuries it has inflicted on Ireland, If has not departed from its auuferi. t character. God knows, we were willing to bury in. oblivion its former misdeeds and its pie- sent oppressions, in the hope that better days were dawning upon the country. That prospect has been blasted by the Church, and though we cannot injure it, perhaps it may, and it will, and it must be annoyed. The Psalm- singing gentry— the taber- nacles of the Methodists— among the most bitjer of the en- mics of Ireland — the Gospelers—- the Evan- gelicafsWt. be Itinerant Biblioais, must be kept at home. They shall not go a colonelling into the country any longer. They must stick to the Gospel- hops in the towns. But upon these points we shall say more hereafter." Mr. O'Connell was a principal speaker at the late meeting of the British Catholics ; and the learned gentleman took the opportunity of corn menting upon the. conduct and characters of the ?> riucipa! speakers for and against the Catholic Relief Bill, in both Houses of Parliament. Lord Donoughmore, Sir Francis Burdett, Lord Nugent, Mr. jBrowsilow, & c. were treated with a sufficient quantify of blarney; while the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, the Marquis of Anglesea, the Bishop of Chester, Mr. Feel, Mr. Dawson, Mr Banks, Sir T. Lethbridge, & e. were vilified in the most unmeasured terms.— On Monday, the West minster Electors had their annual dinner, when Sir F.

Freeholders of England !! The present is a period of danger and difficulty lo this kingdom, almost without example! Il is a period in which, without great exertion on your part, a final and fatal blow may he given not only to our present Protestant establishment in Church and Stale, but to our very existence as a Protestant people. Without your aid, a few years may see our mild and excellent Church put down and overwhelmed by Popery ; aud all the horrors of Priests, burnings, tortures, and inquisi tious, established among us. Recent events have clearly shown that a majority of those, to whom this Protestant nation had a natural right to look for the protection of its dearest in- terests, its established religion, have become luke- warm in the cause; nay, worse, they have become the open advocates of Popery ; that their efforts are directed to the establishment of that cruel and bloody superstition in full and ruling force among us. May God protect us and our children from the evil which threatens us!! But should we escape it now^ we shall at least owe our deliverance to other hands than theirs. And even should we escape it for this year, think not that the danger is passed over. It will assail us again next year, and the next and the next, until it finally overwhelm us, unless you shall come boldly and decidedly to our assistance. Yes! I repeat it, that from this calamity, yon, the Free- holders and Electors of the United Kingdom, can alone relieve this Protestant nation!! Think then how heavy a responsibility rests upon you ! Think that the blessings, or the execrations of us, and of our children, must follow you to the most remote posterity according as you shall act in this crisis! according as you shall give your voices and votes at the ensuing general election! Consider well with yourselves how large a number of your present representatives huvs proved, and openly A large and magnificent College for Jesuits is now nearly finished in this town ; the chapel is built in the form of a cross, each of the aisles being about 100 feet iu length. That part of the build- ing which is intended for the accommodation . of the Religious, is most conveniently arranged, and the whole is surrounded by extensive and tastefully laid out gardens, in which arc a variety of bovvers, baths, and grottoes, & c. all profusely Ornamented with a multiplicity of cut stone crosses of various shapes and sizes, and decorated by figures, that to us appeared to resembte very much the Chinese characters that we have sometimes seen on orna- mented tea- chests, and may, we suppose ( for we do not profess to be acquainted with the tactics of the society), he intended hieroglyphicalty to con- vey some religious instructions. As soon as the entire edifice, with its various outworks, is com- pleted, il is intended, we understand, to be occu pied by some of the gentlemen of Glengowes, who will, no doubt, undertake the education of the youth of Evrecourt and its vicinity.— Gahvay Independent. ' • The debate upon the Roman Catholic question our House of Lords appears to engage an unusual degree of attention in France. The Liberal Journals ascribe the loss of Sir Francis Burdett's Bill to the detected intrigues of the Jesuits in Ireland, and to the exhibition of a spirit of encroachment and intolerance made generally throughout Europe by the zealots of the Roman Catholic religion. According to a report made by a Committee of the House of Commons on the Poor Returns, it appears that the population of Hants is 280,0 09 persons, and the money expended on the poor, by the last return, was £ 174,067— being at the rate of 12s. per head, or 6s. less than in the year 1813.— The population of Sussex is 237,000 persons, and the poor expenditure £ 246,827, or 2is. a head, being lis, less than in 1813: it is remarked that this is higher than any other part of the kingdom. — The parish of Portsea contributes 6s. 2d, a head upon its population of 38,379 persons, to the poor; the parish of Alverstoktf, 9s. 2d.; and that of Portsmouth, lis. Id, On- Thursday, his Majesty's, ship Blossotsi, Captain F. W. Beechey, sailed upon her interesting voyage of discovery and survey in the Pacific, After visiting Pit cairn Island, Otaheitc, Easter and Friendly Islands, and settling indisputably, the position of all the islands with which that neighbourhood abounds, we understand the Blos- som is to proceed to Bchring's Straits, and, if the season admit of it, to proceed round Icy Cape ( which has not been effected since Captain Cook's discovery of it), along the northern shores of America towards Hecla and Fury Strait, for the purpose of falling in with Captain Franklin or Captain Parry; and, if Captain Beechey find the sea, open, it is inOst likely that he will not omit, so fortunate an opportunity of accomplishing this desirable object. We understand, also, that the Blossom is to complete the survey of the coast of America in such parts about Behring's Straits as are imperfectly known; and after having rendered Captain Franklin the assistance he may require, she is to proceed entirely upon discovery, directing her route for such purpose towards those parts of the Pacific which arc the least known or frequented. She is furnished with a large supply of presents, for the purpose of bartering with the islanders, and has on board a handsome present for the King of Ota. he. ite and King of the . Sandwich Islands. The Lords of the Admiralty have appointed Mr. Tradeseant Lay as naturalist to the expedition; and we look to the most interesting results from the several purposes intended to be accomplished by it. The surveying and opening a commu- nication with the Friendly islands may eventually prove of considerable importance. Upwards of 12,000 acres of land have been some time enclosed and put into cultivation of. cotton; the samples of which are pronounced inferior only to the Sea Island cotton, and much superior to the Egyptian. — H a nip shire Te le graph. ( A deputation of six gentlemen, two from YeOvil, two from Worcester, and two from London, con- nected with the glove manufactories and skin trade, have recently had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Relative to the proposed admis- sion of foreign gloves, skins, and leather, to re present, that unless that measure be guarded by certain restrictions, and themselves relieved from certain duties and vexatious forms with which they are now burdened, from the peculiar advan- tages which the French glovers in particular possessed, it would be impossible to compete with the foreigner with any chance of success. At their suggestion, it was consented by Mr. Robin- son that, instead of an ad valorem duty on gloves imported, it should he a rated duty of 4s. per dozen upon habits, 5s. on men's, and 7s. women's. The duty on the importation of foreign skins' and leather, including that on wool, was hitherto 14s. per 100 ( it is reckoned that to wool about 4s. 6< 1. attached) : this is to be reduced to Is. 6( 1, so that the manufacturer gets a relief of 8s per 100 oil his raw material. The Excise duty of lj; d. per lb. paid by the skinner, is to be reduced to Jd.; it was to be hoped that this impost would have been given up altogether, inasmuch as the small part retained will scarcely pay the cost of collecting it, and it still perpetuates to the skinner the intrusion of the officer upon his premises, and binds him to a fixed process, which entirely pre eludes improvement, for it is in a course of this process that the French pursue a plan of treatment of their skins which gives them the superiority for which they are reputed. The Nuremberg Correspondent of May contains the following particulars relating to the Greek campaign-— 44 We have at length received news direct from the Moren, to a very recent dale the middle of April. It fully confirms what we stated in the beginning,' of the impossibility under which Ibrahim Pacha found himself of executing his plans. He had calculated on the numerous partisans whom he expected to meet with as soon as his troops landed in the MoiV* a, and nobody has declared in his favour. On the contrary, however various the parties that have appeared there, it is fact, ( hat all* of them consider the Egyptian General, aud hi^ troops, as enemies, who must be destroyed, or, at least, by a general effort, driven from the country,' because their sole object is to reduce it once more under the Musselmen yoke It likewise appears, from various reports, that Ibrahim has been grossly misled, either by persons who wished to bring him to destruction,- or by his Own agents, who deceived themselves respecting the success of the enterprise, which, under present circumstances^ never could have a favourable issue. Without these very suspicious counsels, he would at least have delayed his expedition till more favourable opportunity." FIRES,— On Monday morning the horizon of London was illuminated to a vast extent by the re flection of a fire which broke out in the residence of Levy Solomons, Esq. in Bury.- street, St. Mary- axe Mr.' Solomons and his Lady slept in a bed chamber in the centre of the building, and the young ladies in the room adjoining. About twelve o'clock, the young* ladies were prevented from going to sleep by a continual cracking, and the smell of smoke. They at first thought but lightly of it, but on the latter increasing, they became alarmed, and jumping from their beds, opened their chamber door, when they discovered that the house had taken fire, and the flames were making a rapid progress up the grenf staircase. Their shrieks aroused the footman and coachman. Mr. and Mrs. Solomons were placed in safety in the house adjoining. Immediately after, the young ladies were carried out. The scene now assumed a most frightful appearance, as the flames were bursting through every window. Two of the housemaids escaped out at the back windows by means of ladders. Such was the fury of the element, that all efforts to save any part of the furniture were ineffectual. The engines belonging to the Royal Exchange, Alliance, Globe, and other offices ur- rived, but were considerably impeded in their powers by not having a great supply of water. At half- past two the roof fell iu. By this hour the supply of water was very abundant. By four o'clock the con flagration was so far got under as to prevent any further mischief. Mr. Solomons is a diamond mer. chant, and at. the time had some in the house, be sides other precious stories, none of which have been saved. In a small iron safe were jewels and pear' estimated at £ 4,000, which are buried in the ruins aud in another safe were deposited upwards of £ 1700 in gold and silver, besides all the family plate, which was very massive. Iu addition to this property was one of the most valuable libraries of books. On Tuesday morning part of the valuables in one of the iron depositories was dug out of the ruins by the ( ire men of the Royal Exchange and Alliance offices., and for which Mr. Solomons made them a handsome present. The mansion contained forty- eight rooms The houses on either side are slightly injured, and were saved from the devastation owing to strong party walls. It is rumoured that the fire originated in Mrs. Solomon's bed- chamber, owing to the floating lamp catching the draperies of the looking glass on that lady's toilet. The loss sustained by Mr. Solomons is estimated at least at £ 30,000, and we. understand he is insured in the Royal Exchange, Alliance, and Globe offices, for about half that amount only. On Wednesday morning last, the Tavern Cumberland Gardens was discovered to be on fire, and notwitbs'tnnding every exertion, was, with thi valuable stock and furniture, totally consumed, Mr. Bayliss, the proprietor, was very inadequately insured; the damage being estimated at £ 17,000. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.— A few days ago a greyhound bitch, belonging to Mr. Donald, of Cummersdale, near this city, ( Carlisle,) produced seven whelps, aud it having been de- termined that they should be drowned, they were thrown into a pump trough, where they remained till there was reason to suppose they were all dead. On taking tbem out for the purpose of being buried, life was still observable in some of them, they were therefore again put into the water for 10 minutes longer, and then covered up in a dunghill. This took place at 12 o'clock in the day, and the bitch was tied up from that time till 10 at night, when she was let out by one of the servant men, who soon after observed her to carry something from the dunghill, but not knowing that the whelps had been buried there, he took no further notice of the circumstance. On the following morning, Ihe sagacious and affectionate animal was found iu the stable wilh five of the whelps, two of which were alive and sucking, after having been buried HO less than 10 hours.— Carlisle Journal, The annual meeting of the Church Missionary Society was held on Tuesday se'nnight in the Free- masons' Hall, London.

That execrable but magnificent monarch is stated by Joscphus to have rebuilt the second Temple. According to Joseph us, eleven thousand labourers were employed on it for nine years ; the works were prodigious, and were, not completed till after Herod's death. To these < k buildings of the Temple," which were probably at the time being carried on, the disciples pointed the attention of our Lord, when he said to them iii' reply, 4< Seeye not all these things? Verily, I say unto you, there shall not he left here one stone upuh another that shall not be thrown down." This pre- . diction was literally fulfilled. When the Romans took Jerusalem, Titus ordered bis soldiers to dig up the foundations both of the city and the Temple; and Terentius Ruins, the Roman general, is stated' to have driven a plough- share over the site of the- Sacred edifice. When the caliph Omar took Jeru- salem, the spot had been abandoned by the Christ- fans.

At that depth the presure was equal to 36 atmo- spheres nearly ( the weight of an atmosphere 15lh » , Gil a . square; inch, or 2,1001bs on a square'foot); and they were, found to be full of water.

What would be fields and hedges in England, are here a mass of orchards producing wine and oil, so that the sight becomes tiresome in its beauty. You want meadows, and a more pastoral rusticity. About noon, all the labourers, . peasantry, and small shopkeepers in Tuscany, maybe imagined to be taking their flask of wine. You see them all about Ftoience, fetching it under their arms. The fleet is perceptible after dinner, though no disorder ensues ; the wine being only just strong enough to move the brain pleasantly without intoxication; a man can get drunk with it if he pleases; but drunkenness is thought as great a vice here as gallantry is with ins. It. is a pity that these wines are not brought into England, for they certainly ould be. Some of them can be made as strong as' port, for those who want a 44 hot intoxicating liquor;" and the rest might serve to give this universal fillip to the northern topers, which the Abbe du Bois says is already perceptible in a partial degree since the introduction of Burgundy and Champagne.

Roman wills were sealed by seals applied after they had pierced the deeds and had passed the linen envelope three times through the holes, a method established in the time of Nero against forgers, and adopted in Germany and Gaul, where it remained till the middle age. Outside Ihe will were written ihe names of those who had affixed their seals. Upon the first page, or left hand tablet, were written Ihe names of Ihe principal heirs; upon the second, or right hand tablet, tiie names of the legatees. To this Horace alludes. I h" Greek wills were signed and seated in the presence of the Magistrate. Cicero shows how easy of detection were the Roman testamentary tablets. Anglo- Saxon wills were written on three copies, each to match, like a tally, and after being read over iu the presence of various persons, were severally consigned lo Ihe separate custodies; and this custom continued lo ihe fifteenth and six teentli centuries, for then Maurice Lord Berkeley, before he went abroad, left three several wills the custody of three several friends, lest any otic should l. e lost. Du Cange mentions wills- written wood and bat k; the latter jo lino. Church chests were the depositaries of wills. From the Norman Conquest iliey had been generally written iu Latin; but in the reign of Edward the Third English was Used. JERUSALEM. [ FS'OM THE MODERN TRAVELLER, PART I.] 44 The Jerusalem of sacred history is, in fact, no more. Not a veslige remains of the capital of David and Solomon ; not a monument of Jewish times is standing. The very course of the walls is changed, and the boundaries of the ancient city are become doubtful. The monk* pretend to shew the sites of the sacred places; but neither Calvary, m> r the Holy Sepulchre, much less the Dolorous Way, the house of Caiapha « i,& c. have the slightest pretensions to even a probable identity with the real places to which the tradition refers. Dr. Clarke has the merit of being the first modern traveller who ventur- ed to speak of the preposterous legends and clumsy forgeries of the priests with the contempt which they merit, 4 To men interested in tracing-, within the walls, antiquities referred to by the doeumerils of sacred history, no spectacle," remarks the learned traveller, 4 can he more mortify ipg than the city in its present state. The mistaken piety of early Christians, in attempting to preserve, has either confused or annihilated, the memorials it was anxious to render conspicuous. Viewing' the havoc thus made, it may now be regretted that the Holy Land was ever rescued from the dominion of Saracens, who were far less barbarous than their conquerors The absurdity, for example, of hewing the rocks of Jndea into shrines and chapels, and of disguising the face of nature with painted domes and gilded marble coverings, by way of commemorating the scenes of our Saviour's life and death, is so evident, and so lamentable, that even Sandys, with all his credulity, could not avoid a happy application of the reproof conveyed by the Roman satirist against a similar violation of the Egerian fountain.' 44 Dr. Clarke, however, though he discovers his sound judgment iu these remarks, has contributed very liitle to the illustration of the topography of Jerusalem. His plan is extremely inaccurate, and his hypothesis respecting the site of the ancient Zion altogether baseless. It is quite evident that he trusted to his recollection in drawing up the account of Jerusalem, aud that his memory has misled him. By far the best account which has been given of the sacred city is that furnished by Dr. Richardson, who, by virtue of his professional character as a physician — a character esteemed sacred all over the East,- wrts permitted four times to enter, in company with some of the principal Turks in Jerusalem, the sacred enclosure of the Sioa Sakhara, the mosq ue of Omar. With the exception of Ali Bev, who passed for Moslem, though really a Spaniard, Dr. R. is the only Frank whose feet have trodden the consecrated ground with impunity since the days of the Crusades. A Jew or a Christian entering within i/ ts precincts, must, if discovered, forfeit either his religion or his life. Sir F. Henniker states, that a few days before he visited Jerusalem, a Greek Christian entered the mosque. He was a Turkish subject, and servant to a Turk : he was invited to change his religion, but refused, and was immediately murdered by the mob. Ilis body remained exposed in the street; and passing Mussulman, kicking up the head, ex- claimed, 4 This is the way I would serve all Christ- ians.' # # * # i 44 Mount Moriah, on which the Temple stood, was originally an irregular hill, separate from Mount Zion and Acra, as well as from Bczetha. In order to extend the appendages of the Temple over an equal surface, and lo increase the area ot the summit, it became necessary to support the sides, which formed a square, by immense works. The east side border- ed ihe valley of Jehoshaphat, which was very deep. The south side, overlooking a very low spot, was faced, . from top lo bottom, with a strong wall ; and Josephits assigns an elevation of no less than 300 cubits ( or 450 feet) to this part of ihe Temple; so that it was necessary, in order to a communication with Mount Zion, to erect a bridge across the valley. The west side looked towards Acra ; Ihe appearance of which, from the Temple, is compared to a semi- circle, or amphitheatre. On the north side, artificial ditch separated the Temple from Bezethu. The Tower of Antonia flanked the north- east corner of the Temple. It was built on the rock hy Hyrcnntis the First, but was afterwards strengthened and most proper place at Jerusalem for building mosque. Sophronius conducted him to the ruins of Solomon's Temple. The caliph Abd. el- Maleb made additions to the buildings, and enclosed the rock with walls. His successor, the caliph El Onlid, contributed still more to the embellishment of El Sakhara, and covered it with a dome of copper, gilt, taken from a church at Baalbec. The Crusaders converted Ihis temple of Mahomet into a Christian sanctuary, bill Saladin restored it to its original use. THE MOSQUE OF OMAR. " Snch is briefly the history of this splendid monu- ment of Saracenic magnificence, which the especial godd fortune of Dr. Richardson, in being allowed to enter the sacred enclosure, has enabled him lo describe. Laying aside his white burnouse, that he might not be delected lo he a Christian hy his colours, he put on a black abba of Ihe Capo Verde's, and, escorted bv a black interpreter, ascended the southern slope of Mount Moriah, passed Ihe house of the cadi, and enleied Ihe llaram Schereeff. This,' continues the Doctor,' is Hie name which is given to the whole space enclosed about the mosque, mil is interpreted to mean the grand or noble retirement fur devotion. Proceeding forward a few yards, we ascended a flight of steps, and got upon the Stoa Sakhara, an elevated platform, floored with marble all rnlind the ' mosque; from the door of which . we were now distant but a few paces. On our arrival at the door, a gentle knock brought tip the sacristan, who, apprized of our arrival, was waiting within to receive ns. He demanded, tather sternly, who we were; and was answered by mv black conductor in tones not iess consequential than his own. The door immediately edged up, to pre- vent, as mucli as possible, the light from shining out,, and we squeezed ourselves in with a light and noise- less step, although there was no person near who could he alarmed by the loudest sound of our bare feet upon the marble floor The Uoor was no sooner shut than the sacristan, taking a couple of caudles iu his band, showed us all over the interior of this building ; pointing, in the pride of his heart, to the elegant marble wails, the beautifully gilded eeilin£, the well at which the true worshippers drink and vasb, with w hich we also blessed our palates and moistened onr beards, the paltry reading- desk, with the ancient Koran, the handsome columns, and the green stone, wilh the wonderful nails. As soon as we bad completed this" circuit, polling a key from his girdle, be unlocked the door of the railing- whieh separates the outer froin the inner part of the mosque, which, with an elevation of two or three steps, led us into the sacred recess. Here lie pointed put the patches of mosaic in the floor, and the round fiat stone which the prophet carried on his arm in battle; directed us to introduce our hand through the hole in the wooden box to feel the print of the prophet's foot, arid through the posts of the wooden rail to feel as well as to see the marks of the angel Gabriel's fingers, into which I carefully pot my mvii4 in the sacred stone that occupies the centre of the mosque, and from which it derives the name of Sak- hara, or locked up ; ( over it is suspended a fine cloth of green and red satin, but this was so covered with dust, that, but for the information of my guide,. I should not have been able to teil ihe composing colours ;) . and, finally, he pointed to the door that leads into tiie small cavern below, of which be had not. the key. I looked up to the interior of the dome.; but there being few lamps burning, ; he light was not sufficient i'O shew me any of its: beaut. y, fur- ther tlian a genei'^ glance. The columns and curio- sities were counted1 over again and again, J he arches were specially examined and enumerated, to be sure that 1 bad not missed or forgotten any of them. Writing would have been an ungracious behaviour,, calculated to excite- a thousand suspicions, that ne, xt day would have gone to swell the general currenUdf the city gossip, to the prejudice both of: myself and my friend. Having- examined the adytum, we once more touched the footstep of the prophet, and the finger- prints of the angel Gabriel, and descended steps, over which the door was immediately secured. We viewed a second time the interior of the build- ing, drank of the well, counted the remaining nails in the green stone, as well as the empty holes * then, having put a dollar into the hands of the sacristan, which lie grasped very hard with his fist,, while he obstinately refused it with his tongue, we hied us out at the gate of Paradise, Bab el Jenne^ and, having made the exterior circuit of the mosque, we passed by the judgment seat of Solomon, and descended from the Stoa Sakhara by another flight of steps into the outer field of this elegant enclosure. Here we put on our shoes, and turning to ihe left, walked through the trees, that were but thinly scat- tered in the smooth grassy turf, t--> a house that adjoins the w'all of the enclosure, which in this place is also the wall of the city, and which is said to con- tain the throne of king Snlerti'on Here there was no admittance ; and from this we proceeded to a stair which led up to the top of the wall, and sat down- upon lire stone on which Mahomet is to sif, at the day of judgment, to judge the re- embodied spirits assembled beneath him in the valley of Jeho- shaphat. Descending from this seat of tremendous anticipation, w hich, if Mahomet were made of flesh and blood, would be as trying to him as his counte- nance would be alarming to the re- embodied spirits, we walked along the front of El Aksa, ihe other • mosque, which occupies the side, as the Sakhaca does' tho centre, of she enclosure, and arrived at another fountain, where we again washed our beards and tasted the water. We had scarcely advanced half a- dozen steps from the cooling wave, when a voice from the window of the cadi's house, as it ppeared to me, called out,. Who goes there ? Had L been alone, aud thus challenged, I should have been puzzled for an answer, for my tongue would instantly have betrayed me had 1 been inclined to ounterfeit; but mv sable attendant replied, in a tone of surly and fearless confidence, 4 Men, and be d— d to you ! what's your business?' The call was from some one of the sahtones of ihe mosque; of which Omar Eftehdi. is the head; aud hearing ihe well- known voice of his mvrmidon, the- challenger slunk into his cell, and we continued our walk, without further interruption, round to the house of the governor, where, having made the circuit of she, Ha ram Schereeff, we retraced onr steps, passed out by the gale af which we entered, and regained fl) 4 house of Omar Effetidi. Here ! laid aside the black abba, resumed my w hite buruoose, and walked into the room as gravely as if nothing had happened. The noble Turk, participating in my joy, received me with a smiling countenance, made me sif down,, by his side, and inquired if I had seen the Sakhara. rejoined in the affirmative ; and perceiving that the cause of my absence was no secret to those who who were now assembled around him, I expressed my high admiration of its beauty, and my sincere thanks to him for having permitted me ihe envied gratification of seeing what had been re/ used to tho whole Christian world, during the long period of its" appropriation to the religion of the prophet, with the exception of De Hayes, the ambassador of Louis the Thirteenth, who did not avail himself of the per- mission ."
