Francis- Dukinfield Astley, Esq. of Dukinfield, in Cheshire, formerly High Sheriff of that county, died at the house of his friend and brother in- law, Mr. Gis- borne, of an apoplectic fit, after very freely eating and' drinking with'some visitors at a convivial party. He was found deal in his bed at a late hour the next morning. In Consequence of the ad vice of the Rev. Mr Hay, late Chairman of the Sal ford Sessions, an inquest was not held, that gentleman deeming such a proceeding altogether unnecessary ; but in the absence of an inquest the most malignant insinuations were spread respecting the manner in which Mr. Astley had come by his death ; and at last papers were publicly posted up ( alt emanating, apparently, from one malicious person) accusing Mr Gisborne of having poisoned his guest. Mr. Gisborne took the proper arid manly course of caus- ing an investigation to take place p ibticly before two justices of the peace, the result of which established his own innocence and the real facts of the case as satisfactorily as was possible. We are concerned to state that one or two ex tensive houses in Liverpool have been un ' er the necessity of suspending their payments in the course of the present week, One of them we have heard for a very large amount ; and we are happy to learn, that although they are said to be extensively con- nected with this town, and some others io Lanca- shire and Yorkshire, the ainount in Manchester is [ very inconsiderable. They are said to be holders of Cotton to a great extent. The embarrassments of fhe other house it is said are only temporary, and it is hoped they will be enabled to struggle fhrough their difficulties. The latest accounts from Liverpool represent the alarm there as being very great, and that nothing but the most liberal con- duct on the part of the Bankers, in the way of making advances, has conduced to avert the im- . pending danger.—' British Volunteer, Manchester, August 13.

ABERDOYEY.— The erection of a new town at this place will render Aberdovey one of the most delightful situations for bathing iri'the kingdom ; and there can be no doubt that the spirited project will meet with every encourageineut from the public in general, as well as from those more particularly interested in the prosperity of that part of the Principality. The Commission of Assize for the county of Merioneth was opened On the 4th iust at Dolgelly. before the Hon. J Raine and the Hop W. Kenrick, Justices of Assize. There was not one prisoner for trial, nor was there a single cause entered. On trie 5th irist the'High Sheriff entertained nearly 100 of his friends with an elegant dinner at the Golden Lion Inn ; and on the 8tb inst. the Assize Ball, at the Ship Inn, was graced by an unprecedentedly numerous attendance of the beauty aud fashion of Merionethshire and the adjoining counties. O11 the evening of the 9th inst theie was a subscription ball at the Golden Lion Inn, which was very fa shionably attended. Ail atrocious, murder, says the Carmarthen Journal, was committed near Blaenddinfich, in the parish of Mothvey, on Saturday last, the par ticiilars relating to which, as far as we could collect, are as follows :— About eleven o'clock at night, three persons, nam. d Lewis Williams, David Samuel, and Isaac Edwards, each of whom was paying his addresses to a young woman, who lived at Blaenddinfieh, met near the place, and excited by jealousy, had a kind of mixed fight, when ^ amuel, having been overcome iu the con test, the fighting ceased for a few minutes ; aud oil his being asked whether he yielded, be said that he had not, and it was agreed that the fighting should recommence. Edwards, however, perceiv ing that Samuel had an open knife in his hand, ran off, aud was pursued bv Samuel until he was over- taken, when Samuel cut bun across the loins iu a very dreadful manner. Lewis Williams, on Samuel pursuing Edwards, ran after him, and when David Samuel had wounded Isaac Edwards, as before, mentioned, he turned and met Williams, and stab, bed him in the left side of his neck, so that IN survived but for a few minutes. Although Ed wards's wound is dangerous, it is expected that, ; with proper treatment, he will recover. Samuel, having perpetrated the atrocious deed, has abscond ed ; but diligent search is making' after him to bring him to justice. On Thursday, the 4th instant, an inquest was held at Rhiwaleg, in the enuuty of Cardigan, on the body of Rees Evans, who was kille 1 by lightn- ing. He and two other tiierr Were mowing hay together, and there was also a girl raking hay within a few ya ds of them. They were all struck down by a flash of lightning, and followed by th> loudest peal ot thunder ever heard by the two List mentioned men, but wonder/ ul to relate, the gii neither saw the lightning nor heard the, thunder two of the men and the g i l immediately r^ covere* but Rces Evans never iMise again. A large hi> le was perceptible in the crown o' his , hat, opposite which his hair was much singed. There was no other mark of violence on his. body or clothes, bu that part of the handle of the scythe , to which the whetting board is usua ly attached was much shat tered, and some pieces Of it wefe found at a great distance. One of the survivors was much stunned, and found he had an excoriation of the size of half- a crown ou each leg. A button of his breeches knee bore evidence of the action of the electric fluid, and his hat had a fissure in the crown three I inches in leng- th. • Radnorshire Assizes commenced on Monday week, at Presteigu, ' Fhere were only four prison j ers for trial.

NF. W COMBINATION LAW.— A conviction un- der the new Combination Act took place at the Public- office, in Birmingham, on Thursday last. William Cross was charged before the sitting magistrate, the Rev. J. T. Fenvvick, with having endeavoured . by threats lo force another journey- man sawyer, in the employment of Mr. Maurice Shipton, of that town, to leave his employment. | The charge was fully proved by the testimony of the man against whom the threats were directed, and by another workman who overheard the con versation ; and the prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for tbe space ot three months The prisoner had pievtously used most insulting & threatening language both ! o the workmen aud to Mr Shipton, in the hope of com. pell ing bim to employ none but men belonging to the combination club. FIRE.— On Friday morning se'iinigbt, between three and four o'clock, a fire occurred in the rick- yard of Mr. Wbitcombe, of the Hill Farm, Bockle- ton, near Tenbury, aud under such circumstances ( several ricks bursting into flanie at the same time, and at different places, although not' near each other) as we are sorry to say scarcely admit of a doubt that it was wiifn ly occasioned, and which was not got under, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions of the neighbourhood, amongst whom Mr. VV is much resp cted, until corn and hay to the value of £ 200 was destroyed, and no part of which, we lament to addj was insured.

It was supposed that he was employed iu discharging debts incurred in early life* On his death, when his papers were examined, a list of names was dis covered, both of males and females, who had suf- fered in the American revolutionary.. war, to whom he had been in the hahit of granting allowances to the amount of £ 37,000 annually, through the hands of bis banker in London, the only peison in the secret. Even the poor pensioners themselves did not know from whom their supplies came. When the present Duke obtained a knowledge of this fact j be exclaimed^ " This is a legacy left me by my father, and it shall be paid/' Every in dividual who bad thus lived on his father's bounty was immediately informed by the Duke's com- missioner of his grace's determination, and they have received to this day their usual allowance. PLAYING CARDS— It is generally believed that cards were invented for the amusement of one of the early Kings of the line of Bourbon ; but this belief is erroneous ; who the man was that invented these instruments of amusement and folly is not known ; neither can 1 tell in what age they were invented. My knowledge is limited to the country whence they came— namely, Egypt. The colours are two, red and black, which answer to the equinoxes. The suits are four, answering fo the four seasons. Their emblems formerly were, and still are, in Spain:— for the heart, a cup, the emblem of winter; the spade, an acorn, the emblem of autumn ; the club, a trefoil, the emblem of summer the diamoud, a rose, the emblem <| f spring. The twelve court cards answer to the twelv months, and were formerly depicted as the signs of the Zodiac " the fifty- two cards answer to the number of ive. eks in a year. The thirteen cards in each suite, to the number Of weeks in a lunar quarter. The aggregate of the pips calculated in. the . foi lowing manner, amount to the number of days in a year. > "" The number in each suit ® . It has feeen the boast of our philosophers that the " march of mind," and the general diffusion of what is called " knptoledge^ would bring about a great revolution in public, opinion; and that these things have already produced a v, ery great change in puhtic taste, is clearly manifested by every day's experience. The London Newspapers have been for some days pant filled with details of pollution, which have been disclosed before Commission of Lunacy. Thirty years ago ( when mankind were in comparative ignorance J the pub- lication of evidence not half so disgusting as that to which we allude, would have been ruinous to Newspaper. JVotty as we are told in a respect able Evening Paper, " the Journalist who should venture to oppoose the current of fashion MUST CLOSE His OFFICE!" lu other words, the taste f the reading public requires that ihe Newspaper should be filled with details which, thirty years ago, in the days of darkness and ignorance, would have been considered fit only for a brothel !— In the way of improvement, this speaks volumes. Tbe first book, according to chronologists, is supposed to have been written iti Job's time """ hirty thousand books were burnt by Order of Leo in 761. A very large estate was given for one book on Cosmography by King Alfred. Books were sold at from £' 10 to £ 30 each iu 1400. The first printed book was the vu'gate edition of the Bible in 1462 ; the second was Cicero de Officiis, 1466 ; Cornelius Nepos, published at Moscow, was the first classical book printed in Russia, April 29, 1762. 55 4 220 120 12 13 365 The- number of all the suites*.

WARWICK ASSIZER The Commission was opened at Warwick, on the 6th inst. by Mr Justice Holrojd, before whom tbe trials of tiie prisoners commenced on the 8th inst. The Learned Judge, in his Charge to the Grand Jury ( Lord Viscount Newport, foreman), adverted to the case of Stoc kman and Currier, tw pugilists, who stood charged with robbing a Mr Crouch' of bank notes; to the amount of bet wee £ 300 and £ 400, on the night of the fight between Ward and Cannon. His Lordship said this w one ofthe many evils attendant upon exhibitions of the kind, which always caused an assemblage of thieves and persons of the very worst description, who aided and abetted in breaking the peace With respect lo such assemblies, there could be no doubt that they were riotous and illegal, and tba every Magistrate was bound lo disperse and arrest the leading rioters., Magistrates by their offict and commission were conservators of the peace and the ancient statute, passed in the 13tb year of Henry ihe Fourth, declared u that if any riot, as semhly or rout of people against ihe law be made, ihe Justices of the Peace, aud the Sheriff, or nnde Sheriff shall come, with tbe posse comitatus or power of ihe county, if need be, and arrest them And the fourth section of the same Act declares 44 That the Justices of the Peace, dwelling uighest in the comity where such riot, assembly, or rou shall be, shall do execution of this statute, ever one upon, pain of one hundred pounds to t! King." It was right that persons engaged in these brutal scenes should know, that if the death of either of the combatants ensued, the parties more immediately Concerned were liable to be capitally indicted for Ihe offence, aad lhat every one present aiding aud encouraging in such S^ hts, might in- volve himself in a charge of manslaughter. The learned Judge then highly complimented the Magistrates of Warwick for having exerted their author. ty, and prevented the lale prize fight from taking place, within their jurisdiction. The, peace, however, be said, was broken at a very short dis- tance from tbe town, though, he was persuaded, from the knowledge be had of Warwickshire Magis- trates, thai they would have prevented ils occurrence in any other part of the county, bad Ihey received limely notice of the scene of combat having been changed But fighting men generally kept their movements so secret from every one but their friends, and executed them so rapidly, lhat at times it re- quired considerable ingenuity on the part of Magis- trates to prevent them carrying their illegal designs into execution. His Lordship, in conclusion, al ! uded to ihe late Lion Fights, which " bloody conflicts w » M'e," he said, against all christain and moral feehugs; and, if Biackstone were cor iect, Ihe Magistrates had the power to suppress such torture, as the going about with wild beasts was illegal, as ii caused terror, and hazarded the lives of his Majesty's subjects. All such combats were indictable at common law as a nuisance."-— The Jury having delivered some bills into Court, tbe trials of prisoners immediately commenced and continued through tbe day. On Tuesday morning the Foreman of the Grand Jury delivered to the Judge a written paper, which, o. i being read, was to the following effect : — The Grand Jury cannot help observing, wilh sincere regret, the great number of cases which have been brought before them during the present Assizes, in which crimes have been'committed, in consequence of gross misconduct or culpable im- prudence iu persons who haveappeared before them as prosecutors ; and having taking into consider ation Ibe heavy expenses of such prosecutions to the public, do respectfully and earnestly request your Lordship will discountenance such cases, by refusing, to allow any expenses from the Couoly Rate." In reply the Judge informed the Jury, that he had already iu one case anticipated their request, but that although he could not with propriety re- fuse ibe expenses of witnesses, yet that prosecutors iu the cases alluded to, should be Te. juired by the Court to bear their own expenses. The Crown Court on the Thursday was princi pally occupied with the trials of James Patten, aud ' homas F. Thistle! hwayto FLmswortb. The forme was capitally indicted and found guilty of violating the person of Ann Atkins, at Edghaston, near Birmingham, in May last ; tbe latter, who' has rendered himself notorious by some extensive swindling transactions during a period of three years' confinement in gaol, was found guilty of perjury, and sentenced to seven years transporta- tion. The real name and residence of Hems worth are unknown, but he is believed to be au Irishman, and has said that be travelled abroad as servant to a gentleman of fortune.— The learned Judge pas sed sentenced upon the prisoners convicted, on Friday morning. In his address to Patten, h Lordship implored him" most earnestly to employ he little tune he would have in this world to make his peace with Heaven, as the awful sentence he was about to pass upon him would most assuredly be carried into execution." The bill against Stockman and Currier was thrown out by the Grand Jury. The Counsel for the prosecution applied to the Court for his client's expenses, but his Lordship- refused the application, seasoning the refusal with this observation—" tli certainly i* not a case in which the prosecutor has any claim upon the public to be indemnified for the expense he has been put to. In tbe first place he is found acting most imprudently in commit ting himself, with such a sum as £ 300 or £ 400, to the company of such ruffians as the spectators of prize fights are usually composed of; and secondly, there is a probability that the money so lost bad been acquired in a disreputable manner by belting," OXFORD CIRCUIT.— At Gloucester there were 55 prisoners lor trial, and the Crown business terminated on Saturday night last. The following are the sentences of the prisoners: DEATH RECORDED -^ Francis Gaines alias Bush and Samuel Neads, for a highway robbery upon Abraham Goldiag, at Bittdn, and stealing from his person a silyer watch, a hat, and a handkerchief; Joseph Wiflia^ is"' alias King, for burglariously breaking open the dwelling house of B; She I lard, of St. George's, Bristol, and stealing a quantity of wearing apparel thereout ; John Innisand Edward Emuis, fo stealing four, feather beds, and a quan- tity of furniture, & e the property of T.

[ In rconsequence of the very earnest recommendations to mercy, presented in favour of this prisoner by her prosecutor and the Jury who tried her, the Learned Judge held out an, intimation that her sentence might probably be commuted to twelve mouths* imprisonment,] TRANSPORTATION.^-^- Fourteen Years: David Por- nell aud Henry Phjli. pps, for feloniously receiving four ends and one piece of cloth, well knowing the same to have been Stolen from tbe mill of W.

Two claps, iu p'^ r, jocular* were most terrific, and made the stoniest heart tremble. The first occurred at a quarter before two o'clock. « When mankind were wrapt in sleep, And worldly Fancy fed on golden dreams," the thunder burst forth with the most sublime, yet terrific grandeur. The chip was so loud, that it awoke almost every inhabitant. . We have heard the peal compared to the sudden crash of fal ling houses; but it resembled more the discharge of a heavy piece, or rather, of pieces of ordnance immediately under your window. Tbe lightning which preceded the second peal was so vivid as to deprive of sight, for a few moments, any otie who had the tetrierity to gaze upon its dazzling and appalling brightness.' It was just as if a glow ing sheet of flame had been passed before the eye of the beholder. The whole town was seen as in the blaze of the meridian suit. The Town of Liverpool steam packet was ou her passage from Dublin at the moment; and the Cap tain describes, the lightning* as having been the most awful and terrific he ever beheld. The thun- der immediately broke forth, not with a rumbling noise, as during ordinary thunderstorms, but in One loud tremendous clap, shaking the very buildings totheir foundations, and striking* terrorand dismay into all who heard it. The rain, during this time, descended in torrents. The lightning which suc- ceeded the second terrific Clap was but weak, com- pared with the sublime grandeur of the flash by which it was preceded. The thunder also became feeble, and soon muttered and died away in the distance. As is usual after any awful visitation of nature, a variety of rumours of tbe damage pro- duced by this storm of thunder and lightning were in circulation ; but we have not heard that any- very serious injury, as respects either person or pro- T. A. Knight, Esq. of I) ownton Castle, re- luming home from Hereford, on Friday week, Ihe leading hoises of his carriage suddenly turned round and precipitated the vehicle into a < 1 itch. The worthy High Sheriff was speedily extricated from his perilous situation, happily unbolt, but the carriage was much damaged, and one uf the horses severely injured. perty j has beeii sustained in the town or neighbour. ho* d. A respectable man, who lives in a street feadihg'from St. JamesVstreet to Wapping, states that he was awake before and during the storm. His bed- room window commands rather an exten- sive view to the north and north- west. He says, that the window- blind being* drawn up, he saw^ the instant tbe second terrific flash took place, some- thing resembling a ball of fire, about as large as a foot- ball, come over Sparling street, in the direc- tion of his house. He trembled with affright, con- ceiving that he could not escape the swift destruc- tion which was approaching. The house, which stands aione, slightly, but perceptibly Vibrated as theelectric fluid passed by, and the bed on . which he lay moved as if violently shaken. This awful phenomenon was also beheld by a person who lives on the opposite side of the street, and whose bed- room window .. commands a view in the same'direc- tion as the house of his neighbour. He had given the inmates up for lost, so convinced was he that the electric fluid, from the direction in which he saw it approaching, would strike aud destroy the opposite house. Fortunately, however, it passed over the building, without causing any injury, and ontinued its course toward the south east. The town- hall is, we believe, the only building that ex- perienced even a slight injury.— Liter pool Courier.

In his reply his Grace observes, lhat " while the genuine principj^ s of sthe Reformation are sincerely felt, and manfully avowed, by the informed and influential classes of the community, we shall have liltle to fear from the violence of its open enemies, or the machinations or weakness of temporising friends." CARLOW — On Saturday, according to notice, a public Meeting took place in the Roman Catholic Chapel of this town, for the purpose of giving mature consideration to the proceedings ^ f the Bible Society. At half- past twelve o^ clock, on the motion of Thomas Finch, Esq. George Lynch, Esq. of Ever- ton, took the Chair ; and, the notice convening the Meeting having been read, the following Re- solutions were unanimously agreed to :— First — Proposed by the Rev. Mr. Clowry, and seconded by the Rev. Mr. O'Connell. Resolved, that the Pastors of the Catholic Church have been, at all times, auxioi!* that their flocks should read the Sacred Scrip rues ; but they have been equally anxious that those flocks should avoid that rule of private interpretation, which is so destructive of the 4 unity of spirit in the bond of peace.'" Second— Propose;! by the lie v. Mr. Maher, and seconded by tbe Rev. Mr, Cahill. " Resolved, that the Scriptures ALONE cannot be a sufficient guide matters of faith— but require the authority of5tradition to expound their mean- ing*." • - Third- Proposed by the Rev. Mr. O'Connell, and seconded by Mr. Thomas Finn. ** Resolved, that the right of p'rivate interpre- tation, as claimed and exercised by the Bible Societies, and which encourages every individual to invent a religion, distinct from that of his nr igh- bour, has been found, in all past ages, a fertile source of fanaticism, error, and dissention, aud subversive of the, peace of society." Fourth - Propiised by tbe Rev. Mr. Kinsella, and seconded by the Rev. Mr. Maher. ' Resolved, that Bib'e Societies are totally un- necessary iu Ireland— incompetent to their pro- fessed object, which is the instruction of the Irish poor— and will, in their ultimate consequences, prove to have been nothing more than au Ex- chequer, for tiie levying of taxes on the generosity ^ nd credulity of good men, by idleness, ignorance, and imposture." Fifth— Proposed by Mr. Thomas Finn, and se oonded by the Rev. Mr. O'Counell. " Resolved, that it be referred to the present Committee, to take into its serious consideration whether any and what practical measure can be adopted, far the ptirgose of putting a final ter- mination, as well to the mischievous dissensions which have been created in Ireland by Bible dis- cussions, as to the pretensions put forth by Bible Societies for, the . instruction of the Irish Catholics in the mysteries of the Christian religion." Sixth— Proposed by J Caulfield, Esq. and se conded by Mr. Tlioma's Finn. " Resolved, that convinced of the wisdom and discretion of our pastors, and of their capability to regulate for their respective docks the manner in which they shall read the Sacred Scriptures- satisfied also of their competency and zeal, we must regard any interference, ou the part of the Bible Societies with the religious tenets of those flocks, as an indirect iibel on the hhh Catholic; priest- We extract the folloviing, upon this subject, from'the last number of tftackiroorfs Magazine : We need say but little here of the Catholics. In a petition which they presented to Parliament in the early part of the Session, they declared, that if the Bill for putting down the Association passed into a law, they would yield unconditional obedi- ence to it. It passed into a law, and yet the Catholics are forming what JS to be practically the Association which Parliament intended to « xtin guish. Let the nation mark this, and il will value Catholic pledges and promises as it. ought— it wi" look upon them as things only intended to be violated. Au Association of Protestant Noblemen has, we see, been formed to aid the Catholics To one of. its members, the Marquess of Londonderry, we must, say a few words. He speaks of his affection for his lamented brother. Now we will a k him if that brother ad vocated unconditional Emailcipa lion, as he seems to d<^ ? Does he believe that brother wished the disa bi I ties to be removed by means of factions Associations ? Does he think that brother was so far desfit'ute of honour and honesty, as to wish the Catholics to be admitted toi power in any other way than' by tb^ lair and proper working of the Constitution? Does he imagine that . au Association, tending to re- prodtice, and meaning to assist, the Catholic one, would have been sanctioned by that brother ? We will teil him that he is following conduct which that brother, if now living, would have been the first to reprobate. We will tell bim further, that his Association is a factious one, that it is an uncon- stitutional one, and that it grossly violates the spirit, if not the letter, ofthe 1 iws, which were so lately passed to put down Orange and Catholic Associations. In addition, to all this, we will tell him that the time is not yet arrived.- for . any knot of Irish landholders whatever- to take upon themselves to alter the laws and Constitution of Britain at pleasure, aud to seize upon the. management of public affairs in defiance of tbe feelings of tbe British people. Mr, Canning met the question for putting down the Catholic Association with openness and bold- ness, which did bim the highest honour ; he met it in a manner worthy of him as a British Minister. Yet. of this Noble Association Mr. Canning's son- in- law is a member. How is this to be explained? — How does it happen that the, beads of what is called the Grenville pariy belong to this Association >— How does it happen that the friends of Mr. Can- ningand the Grenvillites — the men who have called Associations the curse of Ireland the men who have uttered everything that could be uttered against Orange and Catholic Associations— the men who have actually framed and passed laws to make the latter highly penal - how does it happen, we say, that these very men are the first, to resuscitate factious Associations, and to become tiie leading members of them? We ask these questions in the name of common jusitce. If it be lawful for the Irish Peers to form factious Associations, then we demand that it be made lawful for the Irish' Com- moners to form Constitutional ones. If it be lawful for men to associate for the purpose of making vital alterations in the laws and constitution, then we demand that it be made lawful for men to associate for the purpose of defending the laws and oo'nstitu tion. The forming of this Nohle Association, just ' ter the passing of the laws for putting down Associations in Ireland, by the very . men who passed these laws, is most scandalous and abominable.. Mr. Hume made his motion for the spoliation of the Irish Church, and he hinted that the Catholic religion ought to be niade the national one of Ire- ' arid. We have no wish to speak very harshly of his individual, for a portion of good intention seems to be mixed with Siis follies ; but really when we. thru from his talents and acquirements, to what he attempts, we are astounded. In the last two Sessions of Parliament, he has been occupied with the following questions among others ; — The Repeal of the Combination Laws- the Repeal of the Laws against the Emigration of Workmen, and the\ Ex- portation of Machinery— the . Currency-— the Re- duction of Taxes— the Estimates — the Laws against Blasphemy and Sedition— the Impressment of Sea- men- Mhe affairs of India— the remodelling* of. the Irish Church, and the establishment of a new national religion in Ireland. Not twenty Mr Humes., but one— a single one— that one whose speeches every man may read in the newspapers - has had all these matters under his care together! Burke and Pitt were nothing to him. — Had Burke himself attempted what Mr. Hume attempts, he would have done nothing but make blunders ; a\ id it may easily be conceived that the latter blunders mast awfully. Mr. Hume seems to be a sober man, a man of no imagination, and what he draws his opinion of his competency fo meddle with matters like these from, we cannot, conjecture. The pretended friends of Ireland wish to rob the Clergy of their land ; it is a fortunate thing for Ireland that this land belongs to the Clergy. Upon the church lands tbe Government will have the greatest influence in re- eonstrnctiug society, ex- tinguishing the middle- men, lowering rents, pro- moting proper division, and . establishing British farmers, and British, modes of management. The necess iry reform in Irish land- letting may be com meuced on those lands ; and the possession of them by the Clergy may be, and we trust will be made the source of inestimable benefits to the Irish peasantry. So long as the Clergy of Ireland sis ill act as they are now acting, and shall maintain thtv ; character which they now bear, they will , have nothing to fear from any one. This nation know well their worth, it knows how necessary they are, it knows by what title they hold their possessions, and it will support them. Motions like ilirs of Mr. Hmnp wi'll Tii'l I dn than 1 , HAIR. llair. should he abundant, soft, flexible, growing in long locks, of a colour suitable to the skin, thick iu the mass, delicate and distinct in the particular. The mode of wearing it should differ. Those who have it growing low in the nap of the neck, should prefer wearing it in locks hanging' down rather than turned up with a comb.. The gathering it, however, in that manner, is delicate and feminine, and suits many.— In general, the mode of wearing the hair io to be regulated according* to the shape of the head. Ringlets hanging about the forehead suit almost every body. On the other hand, the fashion of part- ing* the hair smoothly^ anil drawing it tight back opt either side, is becoming- to few. Hair is to the litis-, man aspect, what foliage is to the landscape. The favourite epithet for a Greek beauty was " well- haired ;" and tiie same epithet was applied to woods. Apuleius says, that Venus herself, if she were bald, would not be Venus ; so entirely do 1 agree with him, and so much do I think. that tbe sentiment of any thing beautiful, even where the real beauty is wanting, is the best part of it, that I - prefer tHe help; of artificial hair to an ungraceful want of it. I do not wish to be deceived. I would know that the hair was artificial, and would have the wearer inform: me so. Long live, therefore., say I, lovely natural locks at five aiid- tweuty, and lovely artificial locks', if they must be resorted to, at five- and- thirty, or forty. A woman, of taste shtui'd no more scruple to resortfto such helps at one age,, than she would con* sent to, resort to them at an age, w hen no such locks exist in nature. Till then, let her not cease to help herself to a plentiful supply. The spirit in which; it is worn, ogives the right to wear it. Above all things,^ cleanliness : this should be the motto of per- sonal beauty . Let a woman keep what hair siie has clean,, and, she may adorn or increase it, as she ; pleases. Oil, for example, is two different things, on clean hair and i, inclean ; on the one, it is but the' aggravation of the dirt ; to the other, if not moist enough by nature, ii may add a reasonable grace J the best, however, is undoubtedly that vvbicb most can dispense with it, A lover is a little startled, when he finds the . paper, in which a lock of hair has been enclosed, stained and spotted as if it had w: rapped a cheese- cake. Ladies, when about to give away locks, maty as well. omit the oil that time, and be content with the washing. If they argue that it does not look so glossy in those eyes in which they desire it to shine most,' let thetn own as mucfi to the favoured person, aud lie will never look at it but their candour shall give it a doubie lustre. Love adds a precious seeing to the eye; and how much does not sincerity add to love ? On ® ofthe excuses for oil is the perftitQe mixed, with . iti The taste for this vt- as carried so far among the ancients, that Atiacreon does not scruple to wish- that the painter of his mistress's portrait could convey tbe odour breathing from her delicate oiled tresses. Even this taste seems to have a foundation iii nature. Wary — , a little black- eyed relation of mine ( oftener called Molly from a certain dairy- maid turn of her's, and our regard for old F. uglta'b customs), has hair with a natural scent of > pice. The poets of antiquity,' aud the modern ones after them, talk much of yellow and golden tresses, tresses like the morn, See. Mueh curiosity has been evinced respecting the nature of this famous poetical hair ; and as much anxiety shown iu hoping that rt was not red. May 1 venture to say, in behalf of red hair, that l am one of those in whose eves it is not so very shocking. Perhaps, as pity uieits: t he soul to love," the're may be something of such ai feeling in my tenderness for that Pariah of a colour. Hair of this extreme complexion appears never to have been in request; and yet, to say nothing of the general liking of - the ancients for* all tb£ other shades of yellow and gold, a'good red- headed, commentator might render it a hard matter to pro- liounce that Theocritus had not given two of his beautiful swains hair amounting to a'positive fiery. Fire- fed is the epithet, however it may be under- stood . Both fiery- tressed heads, both in their bloom. A large bate forehead gives a woman a mascuPine and defying look. The hair should be brought oyef* such a forehead as vines are trailed ovef a. naked wall.— New Monthly Magazine. POMPEII.— The are few things So strange as a walk through the silent streets of a town, which for - ', 700 years has been hid from the light of the world, when tbe manners and every- da\ scenes of so remote an age stand revealed, unchanged,) after so long an interval. It appears, that 16 yeajjs before the shower of sand and ashes from Vesuvius • occurred, an earthquake had nearly ruined the town; so thut the houses are roofless, partly from this cause aud from the weight of ashes which fell, otherwise they si and just as they were left The streets are narrow but paved, and t!; e mark of the, carriage wheels in the lower pavement is evident. In Murat's time, 4,000 men were employed in excavating; and so a great number of houses, perhaps one- third of the town, have been uncovered. The houses were small, generally of two stories, but beautifully painted, aud the figures of animals, such as horses, peacocks; & c, are as bright as the day they were painted. There are two theatres stand- ing, and one amphitheatre, all nearly perfect. At one time we walked up a st eet, called, the Strata de Mercan'ts. Ou either side of us , the shops of Mosaic sellers, statuaries, bakers, ike. &> e with the owners' names painted iu red, and the sign of the shop rudely carved above the door. The . mill itl the baker's shop, and the oven, amused us much. At another time we passed through the Hall of Justice, the temple of Hercules, the villa of Cicero, and the villa of Sallust. The only villa of three stories we observed, belonged to a man called Arius, Dbnnedes ( this name was at the side of the door) ; and in the cellar, beside some jars of wine still standing, was the skeleton of this poor fellow, found with a purse in one band, and some trinkets iri his left, followed by another bearing up some silver and bronze vases. From the ticket ot a sale, stuck upon the wall of a house, it appears that on © person had no less than nine hundred shops to let. The street of the tombs is the most impressive ; one for the gladiators has a representation of the different modes of fighting carved upon it; and from, this it seems that they occasionally fought ou horseback, which before the discovery of Pompeii, was unknow n.— Edinburgh Philosophical Journal. GIGANTIC ORGANIC REMAINS. CFrom the New York Evening Post of July the \ bth ) We lately mentioned that the bones of a non- descript animal, of an immense size, jjtnd larger than any bones that have hitherto been noticed by na- turalists, had been discovered about twenty miles from New Orleans in the alluvial ground formed by the Mississippi river and the lake, and but a short distance from the sea. It now appears, that these gigantic remains had been disinterred by a Mr. W, Schofield, of New Orleans, who spent about a year iu this arduous undertaking*. A fragment of a cranium is stated to measure 2* 2 feet in length : in its broadest part four feet high, and perhaps nine inches thick; and it is said to wei gh i,* 200lbs. The largest extremity of this bone is thought evidently to answer tothe human scapula; it tapers off to a point, and retains a flatness to the termina- tion. From this fact it is inferred, that this bone constituted a fin, or fender. One of its edges, froui alternate exposures to the tide and atmosphere, has become spongy or porous, but, generally, it is in a perfect state of ossification. A large groove or canal presents itself in the superior portion of this boue, upon the sides of which considerable quanti- ties of amhergrease may be collected, which ap- pears to h . ve suffered little or no decomposition or changes by age. It burns with a beautiful bright flame, and emits an odoriferous smell whilst burn- it is of a greasy consistence, similar to adipo- cere. It is evident that there was a corresponding fin or fender. The animal, therefore, must have been ,50 feet in breadth from one extremity of a fin to the other, allo^ iug for wear and tear, as well as a disproportionate width of the back to the length ofthe fins There are several of the dorsal vertebras', and one of the lumbar, 6c a bone answer- ing to the'cocygis in our anatomy. The vertebra is sound, aud con> spondiug in size to the largest bone; the protuberances- of the vertebrie are three feet ' ii extent ; they lead » o the supposition that the animal had considerable protuberances on th © back ; the body of each vertebra? is at ieasi twenty inches in diameter, and as many in . length:,; the tube or calibre feu1; Containing* the spinal marrow i$ - six inches in diameter; some of the arterial aud nervous indentations, 1 or c > ui; ses. are. yet visible.

We stated in our last Journal, that a true bill had been found, at this Session, against William Cad man, charged with administering arsenic, & e. to Elizabeth Davie*, with intent to poison her.— The prisoner, wbo is a labourer, residing at Cefn Pennartb, 26 years of age, and a native of Trefeglwys, was found guilty of the offence, after a trial which lasted 12 hours,—- Il appeared, from the evidence of the prosecutrix, who Jives w ith bef mother at Maesgwailod, in the paiisl of Trefeglwvs,* that she had had a cbihl by tin prisoner, whi); fur some months past had neglected and refused to pay her ihe sum which he had previ- ously ' allowed her towards its maintenance; aud, in consequence, she had applied to the parish for relief, aud I hey had obliged her to filiate t he child before the Magistrates. On a Saturday night, early in Julv last, the prisoner bad gone to the dwelling of tl prosecutrix, at midnight, pretending to bav<- come I obtain her consent to have their bail us of marriage proclaimed ; he then gave her a cake and 6 or 7 cherries wrapped in paper, and told her to give them to the child, but not to let any one see'them ; when he left her, he told her he would come the next Friday night wilh the money he owed for the child, and lo have the banns of marriage proclaimed; oil her examining the cake an I cherries in the morning, sin* perceived something white like flour on them, and ihe cake had a very salty bad taste, and she buried the cake and cherries in the mixen, with giving any lo the child.— On the Friday night following Ihe prisouer'came again, and, after some conversation, she fold him of Ihe state of the cake and cherries, when lie declared there was no more on them than there was upon a cake which he then held iu his hand; of this cake he pretended to eat some and then he gave the rest to tbe prosecutrix ; slt< tasted it, and spat out what she had taken into lie inoutb, it being very bad ; he pressed her to lak< the cake, and she did so, but put il into her box ; h told her not to put it there, for ihe cat would get to it, but she tohl him she would eat it presently. After remaining there half au hour, lie left her.— The cake last given to ttie prosecutrix by the prisoner, formed the groflud of indictment-, as, on. its being examined and analyzed by Mr. Evan's and Mr. Jervis, surgeons, of Llanidloes, and by' Mr Thomas Blunt, chemist, Shrewsbury, it was found !< contain sulphate of copper and white arsenic. — The evidence of the prosecutrix was confirmed hy 4 other nit n esses. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good cha- racter, and his Counsel, Mr. Temple, contended that the administering of the poison had nol been proved as required by t he Act of Lord EUenborong h, node which the prisoner had been indicted— The Jury having returned il| p verdict of Guilty, the Learned Judge ( Mr. Justice Jervis). said he would reserve the point urged by ihe prisoner's Counsel for tb opinion of the 12 Judges ; but he observed to the prisoner, in passing sentence of DEATH upon him, that he must not flitter himself wilh the hope of escaping from the dreadful doom that awaited him, h< 4 he feared there was little chance of the decision of the Judges being in his favour. At this Session, a Special Jury Cause was tried, 44 Davies v.

JEWELLERS' GOLD.— It would appear, from au investigation of a charge brought before Mr Alderman Cox, al Guildhall, London, last week against a Mr. Tyers, a jeweller, iu Barbican, that such a thing as a solid gold seal, whatever may be the price given for it, is a rarity; aud that nearly he gold seals manufactured are merely rased. The knowledge of this fact should put ihe public on their guard as to whom they deal wilh for such articles— Il should seem that Birmingham is Ihe place al which these cased seals are manufactured. MAIDSTONE.— Every thing concurs to prevent the plantations from rallying. The high wind ol Thursday night has greatly injured those grounds wheie there was a chance of a few hops giowiug.

The least Caielessness, or the least incivility loses it ; and we du not think that we are far from ihe Irulh in asserting, thirl froth no per- sons are civility and attention, and readiness lo ige, purchased witb. su little expense as from the servants connected with the coach establishment*. There is an impulse, a motive, iu every jouriit- y, which otherwise, from its repetition, becuipt s uiunu- toiinus uui| tedious. Aud unless the constitution anil temper of men so employed are different from ibe rest of tlieir fellow countrymen, dull and stiipid indeed would he the lift- of a man who drives over the same ground, day by duy, and year after year, without any chance of bettering hiscniplitinn. Lung- custom has, in a certain degree, taught these men to look to such gratuities as mailers of right aud tbe means ' of their support. If ibe system is IU he considered as objt ctiftnable, and to be cried down, how are lliey to lie indemnified ? They can. not he indemnified without further pay front their actual employers. If Ibis plan is adopted, the coach proprietors must and would raise their travelling barges; and thus lo uu active and willing and smart poacher, will succeed the sulky and uninfluenced driver, who, having tin inters! in the good- will of bis passengers, will just perform bis duly, drive his distance, and let tlietu alight how they may, aud huw ihey please." Description of a Turkish Army. The following account of a Turkish Army in campaign is from a recent number of the Military Journal of Berlin :—> 41 An Oitninan army may be compared with those bauds of armed pilgrims who at one time inundated all parts of. Europe, but instead of a long train of Pilgrims, bearing tbe Cross and Rosary, a Turkish army is followed by Dervises, clothed in strange tnautles and riding upon as- es, in token of their humility; they are tit the head of a troop which car- ries the Colours of Ihe Prophet. After them come a light body, called ' the lost children,' who pillage aud ravage tbe country through which the army passes: they precede the Tamariots, or National Militia, mounted upon asses or unties procured at iheir own expense, or rather at lhat of tbe country iii w iiirli they levy their contributions.— Then e'the Infantry, I'orui. erly ihe pride of the Ottoman army, hul now entirely degenerated; they are ai- med wiih guns without bayouels, and pistols without poign- nrds ; they march without order, in detachments, like so many flocks of sheep. Behind iheni are the Topehis, or Artillerymen, whose cannons are drawn hy oxen or Christian slaves, w hose pace is quickened by lashes of llie whip. Among- these soldiers sonie are singing, others crying, others firing iheir tieces in the air. The rear- guard of this mixture is los'ed by a chief, richly dressed and muuuted on a lirser; he is surrounded hy a crowd of insolent oniesiii- s or slaves, lo whom he distributes freelv strokes of the sabre when they do not keep at a respectful distance. Under the protection ol these ilomeslics are frequently seen Creek siittlers, Jews win, sell clothes, Bohemians, story- tellers, thieves, nil executioners. A Tntkishamiy never marches without having a dumber of J( w commissaries, who sell barley for Ibe horses and wheal for bread ; aud when the army takes tip a position, all ihe inhabit- ants of ibe environs, friends or foes, are put under ontribution." Scientific ant* iBtsccUaneoua* DFSTRUCTIVE FIRES.— On Fi- iday week, about two o'clock in the afternoon, a dreadful fire occurred at Wilburton, in the Isle of Ely, in consequence of the over- heating of a bay- stack. Tlie flames spread from the stack to the houses of Mrs. Saberton and Mr, John Leach, which were totally destroyed together with the furniture. The farming buildings of Mr. John Pond next fell a prey, and but for the check given at this point by a wet threshing cloth throw n over a stack, and by a brick and tiled house, in all probability nearly the whole village would have been burnt down. The bouse* of James Crow and Wm Gilbert, a large hay stack belonging to Mr. T Granger, and a large barn, stables, cart lodges, and other buildings, on a farm belonging to Mr. Serjeant Pell, and occupied by Mr Richard Bailey, were, however, added lo the property consumed, and it was not without great difficulty that Ihe house on the last mentioned prem ises was saved. The fire was burning ninong the stacks the whole of the following day. It is supposed that the loss cannot be much under £ 6000. Most of the property was insured in the Norwich Union, and a part thereof in one or two other fire- offices. — Same day, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Jepps, at Harltoo, ncea sioned by the wadding of a pistol, which had been wantonly fired off by a . boy in tbe sjables. The damage is esti mated at nearly £ ft( 00. — On the Wediitsday, a fire broke out ju the ^ « ellmg- house of the late Mr. Epbraim Rappr, a1 Histou, which entirely destroyed the same, together with a barn, and stable adjoining. INCENDIARISM.-— On the evening of Thursday week, a destructive fire was discovered on the pre- mises of Mr. William Brown, of Uff'cot Farm, in ihe parish of Broad Hinton ; and such was the rapidity with which it raged that, in a very short time, it totally consumed the dwelling- house, barns, stables, granary, 3 wheat ricks, a large quantity of wheat iu chaff, 50 sacks of beans, 2 bay ricks, 80 tods of wool, threshing machine, and the greater part of the household furniture; and, what sadly adds to the calamity, 3 valuable riding horses, 2 pigs, 5 dog and all the poiVHry were destroyed ! Two labourers cottages were also consumed : and had it not been for the personal exertion and direction of Mr. Calley and other neigh bo firs of Mr. Brown, 5 bay ricks and other buildings must inevitably have shared the same fate. Owing to the dry state of the buildings, and the quantify of straw iu the rick- yard ( upwards of twenty loads) the whole premises were almost instantaneously reduced ti> a heap of ashes; and it is a most providential circumstance, that Mr. Brown and his family had not perished in the flames, as the house was on fire in all directions before it was discovered by any of its inmates, three, reapers, who were sleeping in the, barn, also narrowly escaped an untimely death: one of- the poor fellow's shirts was on fire on his back. Great fears were entertained at one time that the fire would have communicated to the standing wheat, which was only separated fronhit by a hedge; in that case, the damage would have heen incalculable. The above dreadful conflagration must have been caused by some incendiary— a woman is suspected. Soon after the fire, this wretch jumped into a pond, with the intention of drowning herself: she was taken out, and committed to Marlborough Bridewell. The premises and stock were insured, but not in the full amount. On the Employment of the Wood and Bark of the Chesnut- tree in Dyeing and Tanning — ( From Annates de I1 / ndustrie Rationale. J— The bark of the chesuut- tree contains twice as much tanning matter as oak- ba k and nearly twice as much colouring matter as log: wood. The colour. substance of chesnut bark is. lo that of cam peachy log wood exactly as 1.857 to 1 —- Leather prepared wish this substance is more firm and solid, and yet more supple. This bark is the best sub- lance for making ink: mixed with iron it becomes a bluish black. The liquor drawn from this bark appears blue at the out side, like indigo; but il gives, on paper, the finest black. In dyeing it has greater affinity for wool than sumach has, aud in other respects it dHTers very little from sumach and gall- nuts. The colour obtained from this substance is unchangeable by air and light. PIERCING OF HOT IRON BY SULPHUR.— Col Evasiu, Director of the Arsenal al IVletz, in a letter to Guy Lussac, stated the following experiments: I placed a bar of wrought iron about six tenth of an inch iu thickness into a common forge, fed by fossil coal, and when it was welding hot, I drew it oil ty and applied to the surface, a stick of sulphur, 6. lOths of an inch in diameter. In fourteen seconds the sulphur had pierced a bole through the iron perfectly circular. Another bar of iron, t wo inches thick, was pierced in fifteen seconds The holes had the exact form of the, stick of sulphtir em. ployed, whether cylindrical or prismatic.— They were, however, more regular on the side, at which the sulphur came ortt, than on thajt to which it was applied *'—- Mechun > c's Magazine, INGENIOUS CONTRIVANCE.— We had, some months ago, occasion' to notice an^ aecident which happened to a young. man, na'tbed, Dnn^ a. n, Maelaren at Dnp. Moss, who got his, . hand so , dre^ d. fally ta< rated from the bursting., of; a. gun, tliat ainipifaiion became necessary above , the wrist. The operation was so successful that the poor, hdlo'w, iii: lilt If . more than a fortnight, recovered peVfectlyf% irdp'the fos! » of the hand only presented hiui frbSn V^ sibtlng h father, by engaging in the- labours of'tbe field; ' The loss to the father was a serious ( fire — for bis soiri is stout, active, and industrious. • He: therefore set about manufacturing a new hand for thaAwhieh bad been lost, and succeeded so weJJ lhat the young man is now not only able to take. his wonted stqtiou af; the plough, but to engage in, all . tb? ordinary operations of the farm. The contrivance i » extremely simple and ingenious. The stump of the amputated arm ( the right one) rests very loosely iii a leather socket, to which are attached straps, which aVe bfonght over ihe shoulder, and attached to the upper part of ttie left aim The wooden hand is formed to represen the hand when half open; and to the wrist part of il is attached a screw, which fastens to tbe leather socket already described. Wilh this instrument he can use the spade fin* filling his carts, and can drive a wheelbarrow, fork hay, and perform other work Ihe same kind, seemingly without the smallest inconvenience The leather straps attached » o th left arm, enable him to brace the wooden hand at pleasure, so as to resist its being thrown aside, aud by means of the serew it is quickly turned round hy the left hand to catch an object in any direction He keeps it covered with a glove, and, whilst driv ing the plough, or engaged in his ordinary work, a casual observer would suppose there was little the matter, except that be was incapable of completely opening or shutting his hand.— Stirling Journal A young rustic, who either was or pretended V be . busily employed in mowing, seeing a dry, humourous old farmer passing by, cried out- 44 Here, Tummns, ye see the pictur o' industry.' 44 Aye," quoth Thomas, slovyly proceeding on- wards, 44 and nuthin but the pictur BRITISH WINFS.— The fine flavour of all fruits being nearly destroyed by the process of fermentation, we advise our readers, who wish to preserve the flavour of a fruit in wine, to dissolve the sugar in water, and ferment it ten days in au atmosphere of about the temperature of 60. Tbe fermentation is more complete' in a tub covered over with a blanket than in a cask. The juice o the fruit, or the bruised fruit, may then be well mixed with it; and, after standing one day, the liquor may be strained off into a cask, and a small quantity of brandy added to prevent further " fer- mentation. The wine thus prepared will not only contain the. flavour of the fruit, but will be equal to any foreign wine, in consequence of the sugar being properly decomposed by fermentation. The British wines are very inferior to foreign wines, and disorder the stomachs of those whose digestion is not good, in consequence of containing a con siderable quantity of sugar, which, in the tem perature of the stomach, running rapidly into the acetous fermentation, is the cause of flatulence heartburn, and other distressing affections. The wine of sugar should, in fact, be first made by fermenting the solution of it in water for ten day or a fortnight before the fruit is added. The saccharine matter of the fruit of this country being decomposed by fermentation in two or three days, it runs into the acetous fermentation before the process has^ carcely commenced in the sugar; the consequence oYSvhich is, the flavour of the fruit is destroyed, and the wine is au unwholesome mix- ture of sugary wine, and vinegar.—- Medical Journal. There is not, perhaps upon earth, so dirty a metropolis as Grand Cairo. Every place is covered with dust, and its particles are so minute, that it rises in every court and chamber of the city. The bouses are larger and better- built than those of Constantinople, but have the same gloomy ap pea ranee externally. The streets, if such they can be callcd, are destitute of any kind of pavement, and appear liks a series of narrow dusty lanes, between gloomy walls. The gardens of Cairo are filled with turtle doves, whose melancholy notes suit tbe solitary disposition of the T « rk » , and is of the same plaintive character as their national music. ANFCDOTES OF MONKEYS.— In a recent imb- rication with this title, the following anecdotes appear, highly illustrative of the imitative powers and disposition of those extraordinary animals:— 44 When Lord Howe came out to our relief he brought with him, amongst other reinforcements, the twenfy- fifth regiment of. infantry .-.- Shortly after the conclusion of peace, a party of officers belong- ing to this corps were amusing themselves with whiting- fishing at the back of the rock, but were disturbed and obliged to shift their ground, from being pelted from above, they did n' 6t know by whom. At last, however, they gained a station, where they were left in peace, and where they caught plenty of fish. At this time the drums beat to arms, on some unexpected occasion, & the officers rowed their boat ashore, aud left it high and dry upon the beach, hurrying where their duty called them — On their return their surprise was excessive to find their boat beached, not half so high as they had left it, and at some little distance from its former position. Their amazement was increased, on examining' their tackle, to find some hooks bait- ed which had been left bare, and to seethe dis- position of many things altered. The cause was afterward explained* An officer of Hanoverian Grenadiers, who was amusing himself with a soli- tary walk, happened to be a close observer of animal and vegetable nature. This man, hearing the chatter of monkeys, stole upon a party of young ones, who were pelting the fishers from behind some rocks. While they were fy employed, arrived two or threeold ones whodrove fhe youngstersaway, and then remained secretly observing the proceed- ( ings of the whiting- fishers.— The fishers having j beached tlieir boat and retired, the monkeys ap- parently deemed the time was come for turning their observation to account. They accordingly launched the boat, put to sea, bait d their hooks aud. proceeded to work. Their sport was small, as might be anticipated, from the impatient nature of the animals; but what few fish thev caught were hauled up with infinite exultation. When they were lired, they landed, placed the boat ( as nearly as they co Id) in her old position, in the frie idly spirit on which I have before remarked, and went up the rock with their game. 44 A man, who had been a muleteer at Cadiz, and who afterwards established himself as a barber at Gibraltar, in the spirit of restlessness shifted to Ceuta, and having invested a very small capital, of which he was possessed, in the purchase of those woven red caps, which form the crown of the turban throughout Turkey and Africa, set out alone, to seek l} is fortune in the interior of the country. He v& s off long before sunrise, and reached a wood before the noon- tide heat became insufferable. This period of the day i^, ( a* is well known) in hot countries, appropriated to repose. He accordingly opened the valise, which contained the treasure of red caps, put on one of them instead of his hat, and stretched himself under a tree. He slept, comfortably till the sun was somewhat low in the horizon, when nnagine his horror at waking, to perceive th^ boughs of the tree under which lie was sleeping covered^ wrth monkeys in red caps ! They had seen the Spaniard put on his, and, as as soon as he was asleep had, one and all, followed his Example. The pobr Spaniard, With all the gesticulation of his country, cursed his hard fate, stamped wifh vexation, and east his red cap on the ground. When — blessed and unexpected, result } — all the monkeys did the same, and the happy man repossessed himself of his treasure." The famous M. Tavernier tells us that, returning from Agra with the English' President to Sural, they passed within four or five leagues of Amerca bad, through a liitle forest of mangoes 44 We saw here ( says he) a vast number of very large apes, male and female, many of the latter having their young in their arms. We were each of us in our coaches, and the English President stopped his,/ to tell me that he had a very fine new gun, and know- ing that T was a good marksman, desired me to try it by shooting one of the a;> es. One of my servants, who was a native of the country, made a sign to me not to do if ; and I did all that was in my power to dissuade tbe gentleman from bis design, but to no purpose ; for he immediately levelled his piece and shot a she ape, who fell through the branches of fhe tree on which she was sitting, her young ones tumbling, at the same time, out of her arms upon the ground. We presently saw that happen which my servant apprehended, for all the apes, to the number of sixty, came imme iiafelv down from the trees and attacked the President's coach with such fury, that they must infallibly have destroyed him if all who were present had not flown to his relief, and by drawing up the windows, and posting all the servants about the coach, protected him from their resentment. I must confess I was not a little afraid, though they did not offer to meddle with me, because they were very large and of- ineredible strength, and their fury was so g* reat that they pursued the President's coach for nearly three le At Exeter, on Saturday, Mr. Bird, the barrister, having used au insulting expression to a witness, Justice Gaselee said, 44 Mr. Bud, while I sit here, I will not allow a witness to be insulted. I will not suffer any sarcasm to be thrown out against ft man giving His evidence with propriety.** A fewr- hints of this kind from the Bench would be o^ infinite service. One man marries a woman because she looks Well w hen she dances— she never dances afterwards. Another mail marries because the lady ha.* a hand- some fool and ancle, which, after marriage, he never takes the trouble to admire. A third marries for love, which wanes with the honey- moon. A fourth marries for money, and iiuds that his wife does not choose to die, to complete his satisfaction. And a fifth, being old in wisdom as in years, marries a young woman, who soon becomes a suitable match for him, by growing old with grief. Thousands do wrong because others have done the same before them, upon the grand principle that many blacks make a white. Many embrace opinions different from those commonly received, in oider to shew that they have a mind able to think for itself, and superior to what they call vulgar prejudices, without considering whether erroneous prejudices are better than those they have aban- doned. All grumble at the unsubstantial nature of worldly enjoyments, and yet many purchase them at ibe expense of their souls Hyponites have a strange taste, neither to enjoy this life nor the next. Many write for religion, speak for it, quarrel for it, fight for it, die for it, but few live for it. It is not uncommonly remarked that such a one is 44 religious," by way of reproach; and that, too, by a christian, at a tea party of Christi- ans. Millions of people are most anxious about what they least require; and, after teasing them- selves and others for many a weary day, they die- leave their cash to those who have no need of it— and are, for the first time eulogistd, when the praise of man can avail them nothing.— Edinburgh Observer. The Stocking Frame was invented in 1589, and in ibe 236 years which have since elapsed the sum paid for these machines is estimated at £ 476,000, while the wages paid to journeymen alone working in them has not been less than 230 millions f Tha present number of these frames in use in different countries is thus estimated :— America, 120; Spain^ 250; Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Prussia, and ftnssia, 3500 ;" Italy, 2500 ; France, from 8000 lo 9000 ; and- Great Britain and Ireland, 35,000. The liquor of the oyster contains iueredibl « multitudes of small embryo oysters, covered . with little shells, perfectly transparent, swimming nimbly about. One hundred aud twenty of these in a rovr would extend one inch. Besides these > oung oysters, the liquor contains a great variety of animalcules, five hundred times less in size, which emit a phosphoric light. The list of inhabitants however, does not conclude here, for beside* the> « last mentioned, there are three distinct species of worm's (< alled the oyster worm), half an inch luug, found iu oysters, which shine in ( he dark like glow- worms. The Drosera Rotundifolia may now be found p » Hampstead heath. This unobtrusive but interest. 1 tug plant appears to require animal matter for its riourishmpnt, and is furnished wilh an apparatus for catching flies; the leaves are radiated with hairs, on the end of which is a brilliant drop of viscid fluid, which, if a fly touches, it becomes entangled; the filaments then curve towards the ceiitre of the leaf, bringing their prisoner with them, and holding him there till he wastes away. A plant kept fiee from flies vegetated strongly, but never bloomed. This, and the D Latifolia, are the only natives of this country lhat have this property; but sevefal exotics require this sort of food, aud some have beeu successfully supplied with beef!— Examiner. A most extraordinary instance of preservation was discovered, a few days siiire, in repairing some of the vaults of St. Martin's Church; in this city. Oil opening a leaden coffin, wherein were depo sited, 85 years ago, the remains of the Rev. Mr. Heron, rector of the parish, the body was found as peifeet as when it was deposited in the tomb, the flesh yielding to the touch, and recovering its smoothness when the finger was removed; and a napkin wrapped round Ihe head, and the shroud covering the corpse, were as white and uninjured as if ihey had come from a draperV shop. Plymouth and Exeter Gazette. THE LIVING SKELETON — The public exhibi- tion of this extraordinary individual commenced ort Tuesday morning at the Chinese Saloon, in'Pall- Mall. fit a very early hour he had a good li nth her of visitors. After the accounts which We had read of tbe ghastly appearance of ibis personage', we were agreeably surprised to find him isi the posflrs- xion of a considerable portion, of hejiU. b » and. with a countenance quite as fl,. rid as that of nine tenths of his Couu'ryoieu. The title of " living skeleton" does On! seem exactly to be well applied to this strange pioduetion of nature, and may, perhaps, creaie some disappointment; because tbe curiosity, as it really xists,. lies far less in the degree of attenuation wbicli mat's frame exhibits, than in the fief that, with a leagues. Lotteries, which our Government has at length proscribed as immoral, seem not to be regarded in that light by the Americans ; for they are even connected with religion— Churches and Chapels are built, by lottery. Another curious mixture of temporal and spiritual concerns is the establish ment of an insurance office, the surplus profits of which, after allot ing a handsome per centage to the subscribers, is to be divided between four or five sects for religious purposes. GRANITE RAILWAY.— Mr. Gibb, of Aberdeen, recommends the use of granite or other hard stone for railways, as much cheaper than cast iron. 9e proposes to lay two continuous lines of curbing of granite stone, close jointed at the end?, six or eight inches broad at the top, fen inches deep, and ten to twelve inches broad at the bottom; and on the fop of each row to lay wrought iron bars twelve feet in length, one inch broad by half an inch deep, with a cross T. welded on the under side at every six feet, clenched down a little and fixed iu the stone:— the wheels of the waggon to run on the top of the iron bar, after the manner of the com- mon iron rails; the curbing to be kept in its place by* the road stuff, and the iron rail to act as a tie bar.— The advantage from the adoption of this plan, is estimated at a saving of 5 « . per yard, or £ 528 per mile for a single railroad, or £ 1,056 for a double railroad. THE DEAO SEA.— Whoever has seen the Dead Sea, will ever have its aspect impressed on his memory; it is, in truth, a glootny and fearful spectacle. The precipices, in general, descend abruptly into the lake, and, on account of their height, it is seldom agitated by the winds; its shores are not visited by any footstep save that of the wild Arab, and he holds it in Superstitious dread. On some parts of the rocks there is a thick sulphureous incrustation, which appears foreign to their substance; and in their steep descents there , are several deep caverns, where the benighted Bedouin sometimes finds a home. The water has au abominable taste.— New Monthly Magazine. Se frame so reduced, a human being should he fttill in possession of most of his functions, and enjoying A asonahle quantity of health. A* regards the ex- hibition of bone, for instance, there i* not so much as may be frequently found ( in the dead subject) in uses where persons have died of lingering consump- tion. The parchment- like aspect attributed to the kin, too, seems to haVe been a little over- stated • and, in fact, most medical men who served in ill* late war, will recollect instances enough, where men of five feet eighi inches high, dying from dysentery, r intermittent fever, have weighed considerably less than 781, lis. which is ihe weight of S; unit.-— The real novelty, therefore, should be looked for, hot in the egree to which this man's hotly appears wasted and xhausted, but in the fact that such a state should be compatible with life, aud the possession of srirmo degree of strength and spirits. This deficiency of flt'sh is not witnessed equally upon all parts of the figure; it shov\ s most strikingly in the appearance of the neck and trunk; the arms, from the shoulder to the elbow, and the thigh. The upper pari of ihe arm is not quite destitute of flesh; but so small that it may be spanned with ease by a very moderate fore, finger and thumb. The thighs are very small — little appears on them beyond the skin. The cap of the knee, wJiicb is large, and protrudes Cdhfctdenvh'ly, is of a reddish colour, unlike the aspect of the'flesh » r skin in general. The trunk, from the shoulder to the hip, has the appearance, more than any thing else, of a large bellows, a mere bag of ho ps covered with leather, through which the pulsation of the heart is distinctly visible. Ou the thicker part of the fore arm there is flesh, white iii appeaiau'ctf, though of a soft and unhealthy character; and the division of the two holies, ibe* ulna and the radiu « t may he detected by feeling. Upon the calves of the legs, again, there is some show of substance, and one larger than the other He wants the power of raising his arms above ihe head. His walk, too, is iccomplished by a sort of j^ rk at each step, like hf> ppmg, and it is stated thai lie cannot walk up stairs; but we are informed lhat he walked on Mon- day evening from his lodgings in the Haymarket Jo Pall- Mail, without feeling fatigued Dressed in bin ordinary clothes ( which are padded out lo a reason- able size, in order to enable him to travel), and seated iu a coach, or upon a chair, there would be nothing strikingly peculiar in bis appearance. When we saw this extraordinary person, he wore a kind of phillibeg ( his only covering), which reached from the waist half- way d > wn the thigh, nnd walked about without any appaient pain or difficulty. He converses fluently iti French, and not without some touch of manner, with those who address themselves to him; aud does not appear to feel any distiess or annoyance at the idea of being exposed to public curiosity.— London Paper.
