ESI£ NT PILLS, Prepared from a Prescription of the late Sir Richard Jebb, M. D. AND PHYSICIAN EXTRAORDINARY TO THE KING. HHHESE very justly celebrated PILLS JL have experienced, through private Recom- mendation and Use^ during a very long period, the flattering Commendation of Families of the first Distinction, as a Medicine superior to all others in removing Complaints of the Stomach, arising from Bile, Indigestion, Flatulency, aud habitual Costtve- ness,— The beneficial Effects produced in all Cases for which they are here recommended, render thetn worthy the Notice of the Public and Traveller's in particular, to whose Attention they are strongly pointed out as the most portable, safe, and mild Aperient Medicine that can possibly be madfe use of.

The subject is certainly of high im- portance, whether considered with a view to the more immediate objects of the Society, or in the necessary consequences of their exertions to the increased knowledge and civilization of immense multitudes still sunk in ignorance nnd barbarism : What ibis Society has been long, and is still, doing for the furtherance of this great work, the following statement will in some . degree show. If a more than due measure of ils means and exertions should appear to have been expended upon uur North American Colonies,. let it be remembered that Ibis was ihe primary object for Which the Society wiis incorporated ; that a great number of ihe nomi- nal Christians in those remote settlements are in fact almost as much strangers lo the principles, and prac- tice, and power of ihe Gospel, as their heathen neighbours; and that by nothingare lliese neigh- . hours so likely, tri he converted to ihe Christian faith, as by the blessed fruits of it, which they have thus constant opportunities of witnessing. The Society's general designs, it will be seen, are far from being eonfineu to one portion of the globe— • hey embrace every part of it to which British power and British benevolence have access; and nothing but tiie w ant of adequate means. itands in the way of their more extended accomplishment and m:> re bene- ficial effects. Unwilling lo reject the pressing appli- cations which have been made for its assistance, the Society has enlarged ils bounty to Ihe impoverish- ment of its funds, and Ihe material diminution of ils capital. Bui the increased exertions of ils friends, and the inexhaustible liberality of the public, when Ihe claims of the Society. shall have become as exten- sively known as they deserve, are resources which are lonked lo with Ihe most sanguine confidence el not, then, this appeal to a Christian nation be made in vain. Let not those f llo partake of Ihe bread of life in abundance, withhold thai charitable aid, which is absolutely necessary for the eoulinuni- caiinn of the same spiritual food to ihe multitude who are perishing with hunger. SUMMARY STATEMENT OF THE OBJECTS AND OPERATIONS OF THE SOCIETY. This Society was ori^ inallv incorporated in the year 1701. lor the support of a learned and zealous body of Clergy in his Majesty's colonies, nnd for the general pinpniraiinn of Ihe Gospel iu foreign parts. The business of ( he Society is coildueleil hy cer- tain official members nominated in the charter,* and Ihe incorporated members who are chosen hy ballot. The Archbishop, of Canterbury was first appointed, and has since been annually elected, pre- iilcut," The acknowledgment of the independence of the United Suites of America unfortunately deprived those provinces of the benefits which they had long received from the exertions of Ihis Society. But Ihe Society left a blessing behind il in Ihe Proteslant episcopal church in that country, whose very exist- ence ut Ihe piesenl moment may lie justly attributed to ils early nnd truly Christian " eUuris. Tile field of Ihe Society's labours has since that period iieeh greatly enlarged, and it* operations now extend over the vast provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward's Island, Newfoundland, and ihe Bermudas. Of I. tie years the population iu these colonies has increased lo such an extent, that the Society has deemed ii necessary greatly to increase the number of its missionaries. The li. i subjoined lo Ihe present document will show, that the spiriiual wools of tWo countries cnnnol l> e otlr.^.^ i. ly supplied without such an addition to the minislersof religion as would PRICE SEVENPENCE. Under these circumstances, the Society feels. justi fied in expressing a conviction that the British public will not fail to aid its labours. Its friends are, there- fore, entreated both ^ o form themselves into com- mittees for this purpose iu concurrence with the ecclesiastical authorities, aud to circulate those authentic details of the nature and extent of the Society's operations which will be furnished to them frOm time to time.

The actual number of missionaries now in the service of the Society, in the North American colonies alone, is one. hundred and three, and in addition to these more than one hun- dred schoolmasters are partially supported from its funds. Wish a view to the formation of a body of native clergy, for the service of the polonies, the Society has Contributed largely towards the support, of King's College, Windsor^ Nova Scotia^ by an annual grant,, and by the endowment of divinity scholarships and exhibitions. The Society, is also called upon to make frequent grants in aid of the erection of churches in the infant settlements, and lias been the great instrument of introducing the national system of education in the capitals of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, aud extending it through every part of the North . American colonies. Another source of expenditure has b, een opened to the Society by the extended colonization of the southern parts of Africa* and the interior of New Holland, where it will form an object of great and important interest to Carry forward the same plan of religions instruction and general education, which has been found so effectual in the North American colonies, so soon as the funds of the Society will admit of such an extension of their operations. To meet these great and increasing demands, the resources of the Society are found to be utterly inadequate, notwithstanding tbe liberal aid they have obtained from parliamentary grants. The average annual expenditure oftheSociety has, for the last four years, exceeded its income to tiie amount of £ 6,000;— an excess which, if continued for a few tears more, must bring inevitable ruin upon the • Society's funds. The collections under the authority of the royal letter, granted in 1819, have beKn appropriated to the exclusive uses of Bishop's College, Calcutta, and the establishments connected with it, and will be found unequal to answer the increasing; demands from that quarter. The buildings there, tlfougli not yet completed, are so far advanced as to admit of the residence of the principal, two professors, a limited number of students, and the Society's mis sionaries on their first arrival in India, The lamented death of the late Bishop of Calcutta could not fail to check for a time the progress of the Society's operations in the Eastern Peninsula ; but they look forward to the happiest results from the co- operation of the present Diocesan, and the zen- ibus exertion of their missionaries, who are diligently engaged under the direction of the principal of the eeilege, in those studies which will enable them t carry on with effect ihe ultimate designs of the. So. eiety. In the mean time, and in addition to the main object of their present occupations, the attain- ment « f the native languages, and the acquisition of a general knowledge of Indian rites and customs, the missionaries are actively employed in snperin tending several institutions for the education of' the native youth. The formation of a college library has been com- menced at a considerable expense It vvill^ how ever, require many additions to render it efficient. At the meeting of the board, in March, 1822, it was resolved to endow 20 theologihi! scholarships for the purpose of forming a body of missionaries, catecbists, and schoolmasters. Thi* Society has recently bren enabled to make an important addition fo its establishment in the east, fn order to extend its operations in lhat quarter, and give union and str » ngth to the missionaries, it has undertaken the superintendence and management of the missions in. southern India, which have been hitherto maintained by the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge, and which that Society consented to resign iu consideration of the benefits the missionaries must derive from an intimate con- nexion with the Bishop's College, Calcutta. Five European missionaries and six native teach- ers, devoted to the instruction of the, native congre- gations in the neighbourhood of Madras, have thus been added to the Society's establishment, and there is an urgent detiiaudfor more labourers in the satin field. iBikcUanecuB Intelligence CHATHAM.— On the 17th inst. his Majesty'* cutter Basilisk, I jieut Hough, Commander, arrived off the Tower, from Ireland, with twenty- five tons of money from the liank of Ireland, consigned to his- Majesty's Mint, consisting of old Irish silver and halfpence, amounting in value to £ 10,000 Irish currency Xhn Pnnilintr S. — » - on the 7th ult. with £ 100,000 in English silver from the iVlint for the Bunk of Ireland, in further- ance of the intention . of His Majesty's Government to equalize the currency of Ireland with that of England. There are £ 400,000 more to go from this country before the 5th of January next, by which date the currency is to be equalized, and & U the money of the United Kingdom to have the same impression. The Basilisk met with some very blowing weather in the Irish Channel, aud was. forced to go into Milfoi'd, in South Wales, to have her damages made good at the dock- yard there. His Majesty's cutter Surly, Lieut. Wool- nough, is ordered to takeover £ 100,000, and ist hourly expected for that purpose. REGENT'S PARK, LONDON.— The vast in- crease of building in this quarter, has suggested the necessity of constructing a reservoir for the supply of water to the new neighbourhood A work of this kind has been going on for some months, and being now near its completion, attracts a good deal of curiosity It is advan- tageously sitiiated on Little Primrose Hill, from which elevation, being 175 feet above the level of the Thames, the liquid body will flow from a point higher than any building in Mary le bone, aud be enabled, consequently, to invade the topmost chamber in the parish with ease. The basin will be 20 feet deep, and cover an area of two acres, and when finished will be enclosed by a wall with an ornamental palisade, so as to render it an object of embellishment to the Park. It will contain , 18,000 tuns of water, considered to be adequate to the supply of as many houses; and the fluid will He brought from the Thames above Hammersmith, a distance not less than seven miles. The increase of houses in thfe parish of Mary le- bone has beet* from 9,000 to 14,000 within the last two years. The cost of the work has been computed at- £ 25,000. * The Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, the L rd Archbishop of York, the Lord Bishop of London, the Lord Bishop of Ely, the Lord Almoner, the Dean of Westminster, the Dean of Si Paul's, the Archdeacon of London, the Regius Professor of Divinity in Oxford, the Regius Professor of Divinity in Cam- bridge, the Margaret Professor of Divinity in Oxford, the Margaret Pressor of Divinity in Cambridge, When the Bill for the Grand Surrey Canal was pending in the House of Commons, a Me ruber inimical to the plan observed, 44 ( hat he could not bear to behold his mother earth thus furrowed from one side of the kingdom to the other without ex- pressing his disapprobation ; and that lie thought the present age canal- cutting mad, insomuch that he verily believed fhe people imagined the next generation would be horn web- footed, or they could never lavish their time and circumstances in pro- moting so many useless and unnatural water, courses, where our natural food might be success- fully cultivated." A few days ago, Lord K ^ went into one of the banks at Brighton, to get a. draft cashed. His Lordship having written it, and signed his natne$ presented it to the clerk, when the latter requested that his Lordship icould he aood enough fo add his Christian name to the signature ! Lord K. though scarcely able to refrain from laughing, coolly asked whether a Nobleman was ever beforfe asked to write his Christian name, and then tearing up tbe draft, walked out of the bank, and pro- ceeded fo another house to get the affair Concluded, On Wednesday last, as one of . the steam packets was on her passage from Calais to Dover, a gentleman was exhibiting to many persons on.< board a curious and rare snuff- box, which stated had been presented fo him by the la'fe Napoleon Bonaparte, during his residence at Elba, when a sudden gust of wind Caused the passengers to take hold of the ropes, or something else that was stationary, and, unfortunately, in the bustle,, this valuable little bauble was jerked into the wide- expanding ocean.— Kentish Gazelle. \ CONGOR EEL —^ Wednesday, as some men were sailing in a small boat on the river Forth, near Stirling, they were not a little surprised by a large eoogor eel raising his unseemly head above water, close to the boat. One of the men happening to, ha » e a stout stick in his baud, struck the animal' with it so severe a blow on the bead, that it was Completely stunned; and before it had time to recover, he grasped it with both his hands beneath the gills, and dragged it into the boat, where it was quickly dispatched.

An Order in Council, dated August 5, directs the further prorogation of Parliament from Thursday last to Tuesday the first of November. Dutch Papers lo the 2- ilh inst. allude lo Ihe private marriage of Ihe Count de Niepperg to the Archduchess Maria Louisa, the widow Of Buonaparte. The Emperor of Attslria, who has on all occasions shewn himself an in- tltilgent parent, is supposed lo have favoured this union, and in token of his approbation, it Is said, will raise llie Count to the dignity of a Prince. Rear- Admiral Bingham is appointed Com- mander in Chief on the Past India station. The several statements of the departure from lown of Captain Clapperlon, for the in- terior of Africa, have been incorrect. That intrepid traveller received his final instructions from the Secretary ol Slate's office for Ihe colonies on Thursday, and left town the same evening for Portsmouth, where he will directly embark on board the Brazen frigate, Captain " Willes, for the Bight of Benin. In the hazard- ous journey of exploring his way to Sockaloo, he will be accompanied by Mr. Dickson, who proceeds in Ihe capacity of surgeon and na- turalist, and by Captain Robert Pcarcc and Dr. Morrison. On reaching the interior, Ihe two ( alter officers proceed to the lake of Tsad, and alter inspecting ils various coasts, will pursue an eastern course towards Abyssinia. The report of a dissolution of Parliament, which had begun to die away, has, within these few day s, been revived more strongly than ever, and is confidently expected to take place between the 31st of August and the 31st of October.— A cTO l imes.

A iiiicy CHUHCH.— The admirers of Ihe fine arts have at present an opportunity of in- specting a beautiful specimen of Ihe art ol glass- staining, which has been temporarily nffixed in Ihe Veslrv window of this venerable fabric. II comprizes the figures of Jeremiah, St. Martin, and St. Andrew, ami forms a portion of the ancient stained glass which adorns the windows in the north side ot the chapel of Winchester College, the whole of which, as well as of that in the windows of the soulh side, is to be repaired and restored by our townsman, Mr. Evans, whose abilities in ihe delicate art of glass- staining we have be- fore had occasion to notice, ( particularly in Ihe restoration of the great east window in the same chapel, containing the genealogy of our Saviour), and whose talenl in the depart- ment of restoring ancient stained glass is per- haps unrivalled. Underneath the figures are their respective names, and below " orate pro Willielmo de Wykeham episcopo Wyntoniense Fundalore istius Collegii."— In a few days, new second and treble bells will be put up in the Abbey. They arrived at the same time as the tenor belonging to SI. Chad's, which we noticed last week. The only inscription on them is " Recast by Voluntary Subscription. T. Meats, of London, fecit, 1825." SUNDORNE CASTLE.— Early on Monday morning last, a large stack of hay belonging b> Mrs. Corbet was discovered to be on fire, and the frame on which it was placed being connected with that on which other hay was stacked, the flames soon extended lo the latter. Messengers arrived for the engines belonging to the Salop Fire Office about five o'clock, and two of them, wilh the conductor and firemen, promptly set out for Sundorne. Between 8 and 9 o'clock, a third engine was seut for. At this time ihe quantity of hay on fire was immense, and apprehension* were entertained that it would all be destroyed : but happily Ihe exertions of the firemen, domes- tics, tenantry, & c. succeeded in arresting the progress of Ihe devouring element, which hy noon was completely extinguished.— 1' he quantity of hay in the stacks is estimated as we are informed at from 120 lo 130 Ions: about 40 tons were preserved uninjured and was re- slacked the same day ; great part of the remainder has received hut little damage, and most of it is, we are to d in a serviceable slate. It was not insured. We regret to state that Mr. John Wollaslon, iff Bishop's Castle, with his servant, were thrown out of Mr. VV.' s gig, near Little Bromptou, ou Friday last, whereby Mr. Wollaston received a violent concussion of the brain; the servant was thrown over Ihe hedge, and was but little injured.— It is sup- posed Ihat a wasp or a large horse fly had fastened upon Hie horse, as they were driving al a very steady pace, when the animal sud- denly began to kick and plunge most violently, and became quite unmanageable. NEW BALLOON.— Mr. T. R. Jolliffe, from Somerset, accompanied by Monsieur de Cor- nillot, ascended on Wednesday evening from the farm of Mr. Morlan, near Seven Oaks, Kent, in a new machine, which had been some mouths in preparation, tinder the immediate superintendence of those gentlemen. After attaining an altitude which was little short of four miles, they commenced descending, and reached Ihe earth without much difficulty in the course of half an hour. At the Cheshire Assizes, which commenced on Thursday last, William Simpson, a pick- pocket, and an old offender, for stealing from the person of { James Bayley, at Congleton, a pocket- book, with seven £ i notes, was sen- tence.) to be transported for life. [ On sentence being pronounced, the culprit smiled, and, with the most hardened effrontery, held up a halfpenny, and said to the Judge. " I'll toss you, hang or . quit!")— John Stellox, for stealing a'gelding, the property of Mr. Jack- son, of Mobberiev, had Judgment of Death recorded against him.— George Turner, for breaking open and robbing two houses in Stockport, had judgment of Death recorded against him, and will he transported for life.— On Saturday, Terence James Connel was tried on a charge of having violated and murdered Margaret Treavor, at Holly Wood, near Stock- port, on'Friday night, the lath instant, aud was acquitted'.

A Correspondent writes us word that there have been some most extraordinary cures effected by them within the last month or two • ami by an analysis they are found lo be equal, if not superior, lo the Waters al Llandrindod. There are three separate springs, viz:'— Chahbea'e, Saline, and Sulphuric, and we trust, ere long, to hear of some spirited individual making exertions to bring them into greater notoriety, so that these men*, which Providence has s> wisely and beneficenjly granted us for the restoration of health, may be more generally known and appreciated — Numbers now drink these Waters, from which great benefit is derived j and when it is known that the accommodations in the neigliheufjiood are of a superior description, the roads excel- lent, and the country celebrated for' fish and game, il may he a powerful inducement for strangers to make it their resort. We understand Ihat FORDEN RACES, Monl- gomenshire, are fixed for the first week in October; that many horses are already en- tered ; and Ihat much sport is expected. ( A UTION TO PERSONS OFFENDING AGAINST THE IK RN TIKE LA ws.- Ellis Evans, of Tyddyn- ucha- Gwyddelwern, Merionethshire, was sum- moned al the instance of Mr. Piatt, toll col- lector, for abusing and assaulting Ann Jones, his servant, who collected Ihe lolls at Garth Gate, 011 the road from Ruthin to Wrexham, and for having fraudulently and forcibly passed through Ihe said gate, on the evening of the 12th instant, wilh a waggon and four horses, without paying the toll. He followed his own team, and had endeavoured to impose upon the collector bv saying he had a ticket, nhtrh he had obtained from another gale, and which he would not shew or deliver, as he Staled he should want lo leave it at Ruthin gate. John Lloyd, servant to Mr. John Jones, of Pistill- gwyn, Llanfair, Denbighshire, was summoned for committing Hie like offence, 011 the same evening. The complaints were heard at Ruthin, on Monday week, before Joseph Peers, Esq and the Rev. E. ' l'helwall. Ellis Evans's case was of a more aggravated name lhan thatof John Lloyd. He was convicted ia the miti- gated penalty of 50s. and 10s 6d. costs, heiug his first offence. John Lloyd was convicted in the mitigated penalty of £ 1. 13s. 4d and 9s. costs, it being likewise his first offence. At the Great Session for Glamorganshire there were only seven prisoners for trial:— Elizabeth James, for stealing silver spoons, the property of William James, of Cowbridge, was sentenced to nine months* imprisonment ; and Daniel O'Hara, for stealing a silver watch, & c. Ihe property of John Thomas, of Swansea, lo six months' inipri sonmcnt; John Morgan, charged with the murder of John Rees, of Merihyr Tydfil, and Josiah John, with maliciously slabbing William Thomas, at Cardiff, were acquitted ; Evan Lloyd, charged wfth stealing a lefter from William Edwards; containing two ten- pound not,- s of the Doutais Bank, aud, a Bank Post hill of thirty; John Morgan, wi! h having broken into tlie Aberdare Canal Office, and. stealing various articles therefrom ; and Leah Mor- gan, with having stolen a pocket- book from Them. Davies, containing Bank of England and local notes, to the amount of. fifty pounds, were acquit- ted.— Al the Civil Bar, very little business wits done, and 110 action of particular interest. One circumstance created some liltle surprise :— a pn. r man brought an action against another for depriv- ing hiin of an eye, and was awarded £ 3 damages ; a gentleman brought an action against another, for shooting two dogs, and was awarded £ 150; a strange anomaly this, and difficult to be reconciled.

[ FROM THE KALEIDOSCOPE.] " We soon reached the summit of the elevated ground between the city [ Bangor\ aud the bridge, and then, looking to the northward, on our right, we enjoyed a magnificent view of the whote . hay of Beaumaris, and of all the prominent el. jcets, by which its beautiful neigh bout hood is distinguished. Descending from this point, past ihe ferry- house, we immediately arrived at the slioie, nnd then turning to the left, we ascended a slope till we reached the level of the road- way of the neiy bridge, one hundred feet above hfgh- water mark. Here we stood near one of Ihe great suspending piers, whose foundation is more than one hundred feet below, nud whose summit is fifty- two feet above, the level of the road. Two arched gate- ways are formed through this gigantic structure, leading to the two intended carriage- ways across the straits Over Ihe apex of this pier, the four massy clidint hang in firm but graceful festoon. We traced theui nearly to their fastenings in the rocks, and were astonished at the amazing strength and security of the whole work. Between the fasteuings andthe pier we noticed the erection of what seemed designed for the toll- house, a handsome building, rising up to and amongst the chains, as if the bridge wi re to derive its support ( and perhaps it will) from the toil house, We walked up the chains to the top of this building, and thence to the apex of ihe pier, where our elevation, one hundred and fifty- two feet above the water, appeared somewhat terrific. " I may here remark that the fou'r chains are thus formed of bars of wrought iron. Each bar is about ten feet long, tlirpe inches broad, and one inch thick. Five of these bars placed upon their edges, with fastenings at the ends, which- keep them more than an inch asunder, form a strait link, a series of which links, to tbe length of 1714 feet, constitutes a single chain. Four such chains, placed one above the other, the joints of one chain falling 011 th centre of the links of the next, form one great chain, containing, of course, twenty solid bars, the pressure upoii each of which will be equalized by connecting stanchions. " Each carriage- way, twelve feet wide, will he supported by two of these great chains, and Ihere will be a foot- path along the centre. I have here described such links as are placed between the two piers and crossing the straits; those from'the piers to the fastenings are rather shorter and' thicker. The two centre chains,- below which the foot- path will be formed between the carriage- ways, are', of course, Hear to each other ; perhaps not three feet asunder. Between these two cliai'ns lav our path over the straits; a temporary path, formed of planks, two in a breadth, suspended from the lower links, the upper ones serving as a hand- rait. (< From the apex 011 which we sat the chains ap- peared to descend very steeply towards their fasten- ings on the laud side, aud towards the centre over the straits. Although the planks were uot properly fastened, we proceeded fearlessly along the vast curvature, 590 feet in length, to the pier on ihe Anglesea side. Over the centre of the siraits we sat down ou a small stage, which had been placed there for the band of musicians, when the Inst chain was suspended. From ibis place, looking down wards, we observed that the colour of the wate appeared to he a muddy pea- green.

ATaGENERAL MEETlNGofthe BRUSH MANUFACTURERS of the Coun- ties of Warwick, Worcester, Stafford, and Salop, held at the Woolpack Inn, Birmingham, on Friday, the26th Instant, It WAS RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY, That in Consequence of the very depressed State of the Trade, and the ruinous low Price al which Brushes have been for a long Period sold, a genera] Advance shall take Place forthwith. The Public are most respectfully acquainted that this Advance is called for by the most imperious Necessity, in Consequence of the advanced Price of Bristles and other Materials, as well as the increased Rate of Labour. And they fnrther beg Leave to state, that a like Advance has for some Months taken Place iu most Parts of England. The brush Manufacturers of the above- named Counties cannot let this Opportunity pass without calling the Attention of their Friends and the Public generally to that baneful Practice, the Hawking System, wliich, while it opens u Door for Depreda. tion on the respectable Manufacturer ( who is nn^ ious that his Friends should he supplied with tin Article which must insure a Preference from ils superior Quality), subjects the Public to the most egregious Imposition, the Goods manufactured and sold bv Hawkers being for the most Part made up in Ihe most delusive Form, and of the very worst Materials. As these are Facts not generally understood, the Brush Manufacturers regard it a Duty they owe lo the Public to place them on their Guard against it, and at the same Time to assure them, it will be their Study and Determination to make such an Aiticle only as will be creditable to themselves and insure Satisfaction to their Friends.

The Death of the Klephte. When the Turks had overrun the fertile plains of Thessaly, and received, the homage of subjection, from the weaker and more timid inhabitants, those Greeks, worthy of their descent fromlhe liero< h, pf Marathon and Platiea, scorned to bow before, the footstool of a tyrant, and retreated to their mountain fastnesses, in the lofty ridges of Acarnania and Epirus. Thence, they* often poured with the irre sistable rapidity of their own wild torrent, nnd after spreading desolation aud dismay through the dwell- ings of their conquerors, retired again to their coverts in tlie defiles of Olympus.—- Thus, the Klephtes, instead of being there b. andits, as their ap- pellation would signify to us, were in reality the noble band of heroes, whose hearts still beat warm with the lovfe of freedom, and who, when unable to cope with their haughty and merciless victors in the open field of battle, and with regular armies, infested those whom they could not expel, and fed the spark of liberty that has since burst into a flame, ' to re- enlighten 44 the land of the sword and song." They have been always remarkable for their brav- ery, their hardiness, devotion, and generosity to their weaker country men. Evfen the Turks, whom they made prisoners, they always consented to return for ransom; and though they were some- times compelled by necessity to sacrifice these oppressors, they never subjected them to torture. But the other party did not return this good treat- ment.— When they did capture a Kleplite, they exposed him to the most horrible sufferings, before they would relieve his miseries with an ignominious death. Finding, themselves Unable to extirpate these rhoun'tain. warriors, or even to cause them any considerable annoyance, they endeavoured to en- tice theul down frdm their strong holds, by offers of pardon and security— tints hoping to crush at one blow the brave supporters of the ancient, liberty of their country.— In this plan they partially suc- ceeded, but never to any great extent. Those who did come down^ they permitted to form, for their own defence, in militia bands. Such 44 reclaimed Klephtesv' were named Anuatoloi ; and each baud was under a Kapetands, or Captain, the private men being named Pallikars. Of these bodies there were but 17.- The Turks had bound these men to assist in opposing all disturbers of the public peace, and thus turned them against their former com- panions in arms. But finding^ themselves stjll unable to extinguish the Klephtes, lliey directed their cruelty against the unfortunate Armatbloi^ that they might cut off, at least, a part of those who still would struggle for liberty. All of these men who could escape returned to the mountains, and regained their former name. In the midst of danger and suffering, the Klephtes never neglect their duties to heaven. Their activity is said to be almost iucredible. to endanger our taa « fc ancient and valuable institu- tions, ana when we had to maintain with France an arduous struggle for all that we held most dear. You, gentlemen, had the sagacity to foresee the issue, and you therefore are entitled to join in the congratulations of your country on its final success, and to partake in its consummate glory. There is no place that is more likely than this to rise high upon the flood- tide of national welfare and enjoy- ment; and if integrity, good sense,, loyalty, con- stancy, and cordial union among themselves, can The 6th of next January the Bank of Ireland | tokens of all kinds cease to be a legal tender. Being then no longer upon a footing with the. coin I of the realm, tljey will of course be worth nothing beyond their intrinsic value, and consequently they vil 1 suffer a depreciation of about thirty per pent, or three- pence in a ten- penny.

He rejoiced iu such an opportunity of testifying bis great, personal regard for Lord Dudley, with whom he had sat in the House of Commons for thirteen years, during which he believed there was never a difference of opinion between them on any important subject. He ex pressed his obligation to Lord Dudley and his late revered father for many of acts of kindness, and observed, that his Lordship's well- known benevo- lence was not merely the dictate of his understand- ing and his feelings, it was in his blood. He, assured such of, his constituents as might be present, that while lie continued to occupy a seat in the Legislature, they might rely on his voting con- scientiously upon all public questions, and on his paying every attention in his power to their private au< f local interests.— Several other Gentlemen iu the course of the evening spoke at considerable length. Among the many tiasts which were drank, were the following His Majesty's Ministers — The Lord Lieutenant of the County — Earl Talbot, and pro- sperity to the Hou « e of Ingestre— The Members for the County— Lady Dudley— Duke of Wellington— Mrs. Littleton— Earl of Stamford aud the noble !

At a little after eleven oMook, Lord Dudley retired. Before he left the room, he assured tilie company that their kind attentions had made a deep and lasting impression upon his heart.-^ The day was passed iu the utmost harmony, and will doubtless be long remembered with delight.— The populace were regaled with ale in the Castle Court.

He was introduced by tlie Stewards into a spacious anti- room, where about 80 gentlemen had met to receive him. At seven o'clock dinner was announced, and his Lord- ship was conducted to a seat on the right hand of the chair, over which was suspended a most elegant flag emblazoned with the arms of his family ; on the left of1 the chair sat Mr. Littleton, one of the members for t he county of Stafford . Major Hawkes presided, w ilh a courtesy aud kindness of manner which gave universal satisfaction, aud the office of Vice- President was ably filled by Mr. Dixon. The dinner consisted of the richest viands which the season could furnish, and- of the choicest wines; and the dessert was truly magnificent.

I therefore entreat your indulgence for any omission of which I may be guilty, or any incompetency which I may display on this most interesting occasion. The high honour which Lord Dudley has this day condescended to confer upon us cannot but prove to us a source of the hi^ hnst possible gratification, and as we are animated by an ardent desire to pay him the grateful and just tribute of onr respect and esteem, I rejoice that the opportunity is afforded us of manifesting at the same time our high sense of his Lordship's benevolence and kindness, to which this town and neighbourhood have been so greatly indebted. The presence of our uoble guest precludes my saying more, or stating that which the fullness of my heart now dictates. And as I perceive an impatient anxiety in the countenances of all around me to receive the toast which they are anticipating, I will not trespass further upon your time. I announce to you the health of the Right Honourable Viscount Dudley ; long life and happi- ness to him, and many thanks to his Lordship for Iiis kind condescension in honouring us with lite company." Lord Dudley, as soon as the tumultuous applause with which this sentiment was received had sub- sided, rose and said, 44 Gentlemen, — It is highly gratifying tome to receive this mark of kindness and favour from the inhabitants of a place with which I can boast of an hereditary connection, which may be traced through several centuries, and which loses itself at last in the night of ages. It is still more gratifying to me to receive this testimony of regard from persons distinguished by their patriotism and by their uniform and steady obedience to the law. Gentle- men, we are assembled at a moment of great public happiness. We can all recollect, however, a period of a far different description ; but you, gentlemen, never despaired of your country even iu the worst, of times— even when the world was threatened first with the dissolution of civil society itself, and afterwards with ail universal ahd overwhelming despotism; whi BANKERS. Mr. Fosbroke, in his 44 Encyclopaedia of Anti qui tics," on the authorities of the encyclopaedists and others, gives the following short account of their early history :— 44 The Trapezitce of the Greeks, and Argentarii or Nummulani of the Romans, were persons who lent money upon usury, kept the accounts of other usurers, and exchanged worn for new money, for a profit, but did uOt deal in cheques, drajts, Beckmaun, however, says, that they did pay money by a bill, which process was termed prusscribere and rescrihere, and the assignment or draft attribuiia, and dealt besides in exchanges and discounts. Philip the Fair, in 1304, ordered a bank to be held upon the great bridge of Paris ; and they had booths and tables before church doors, & c. called * mensce cambiatorum' ( our Scriptural * tables of the money- changers'), stands at fairs for changing money, & c. They were obliged to give security in property, and were formed into guilds. We. had a set of them called Vaursini from the family Caursini at Florence, it being agreed, that however divided, they should take tlie name of that family, penes quarn sumtna mercutvra eret. All the Italian mer- chants who practised usury, were called Lombards ; hence our Lombard- street. The draft of one banker upon another, and the cheque, occur in Rymer. The deposit of money to be let out at interest is a practice of the Roman Argentarii, who exercised their trade in the Forum, under the inspection of the town Magistrate; aud when they ceased to shew themselves, their bankruptcy was declared by these words, foro cessii. Such is their ancient history — what follows re- gards their establishment here, and is extracted from u Pennant's History of London." " Regular banking by private people resulted in 1643, from the calamity ot the time, when the sedi- tious spirit was incited by the acts of the Parlia- mentary leaders. The merchants and tradesmen, who before trusted their cash to their servants and apprentices, found that no longer safe, neither did they dare to leave it in the mints at the Tower, by reason of the distresses of Majesty itself, which before was a place of public deposit. In the year 1645, they first placed their cash in the hands of goldsmiths, who began publicly to exercise both professions. Even in my days were several eminent bankers, who kept the goldsmith's shop, but they were more frequently separated. The first regular banker was Mr. Francis Child, goldsmith, who began business soon after the Restoration. He waa the father of the profession, a person of large fortune and most respectable character. He married, between the years 1665 and 1675, Martha, only daughter of Robert Blant hard, citizen and gold- smith, by wham he had twelve children. Mr. Child was afterwards knighted. He lived in Fleet- street, where the shop still continues in a state of the highest respectability. Mr, Granger, in his Biographical History of England,' mentions Mr of Child as successor to the shop of Alderman Backwel, a banker iu the time of Charles the Second, noted for Iiis integrity, abilities, and industry ; who was ruined by the shutting up of the Exchequer in 1672, His books were placed in the hands of Mr. Child, and still remain in the family. " The next ancient shop was that possessed by Messrs. Snow and Beune, a few doors to the west of Mr. Child's, who were goldsmiths of conse- quence, in the latter part of the same reign. Mr. ( Jay celebrates the predecessor of these gentlemen, for his sagacity in escaping the ruins of the fatal year 1720, in his epistle to Mr. Thomas Snow, goldsmith, near Temple Bar: — O thou, whose penetrative wisdom found The South Sea rocks, and shelves where thousands drowned, When credit sunk and commerce gasping lay, Thou stood'st, nor sent one bill unpaid away. 44 To the west of Temple Bar, the only one was that of Messrs. Middletou and Campbell, gold- smiths, who flourished in 169' 2, and is now conti- nued with great credit by Mr. Coutts. From thence to the extremity of the western end of the town, there was none iill the year 1756, when the respect- able name of Backwel rose again, conjoined to those of Darel, Hart, and Croft, who with great reputation opened their shop in Pall Mall." fltfsceUaneous Entelltflcnce. TERRIFIC ACCIDLNT.— stock port, Friday, 26th August — At half past seven o'clock this morning, the centre for the new bridge over the Mersey, at Stockport, fell with a tremendous crash, and, in its fall Joseph Atkinson, a mason, and Matthew Broad, a labourer, were instantane ously killed : two otiters, William Scott, a mason, and John Price, a labourer, were also precipitated with the ruins into the river: though severely bruised, their recovery is expected. Many others employed with them providentially escaped un- hurt.— The four sufferers were immediately re* moved to the Dispensary, where surgical aid was promptly administered to the survivors.—^ The accident arose from the prewsure of stone piled, during the three preceding days, on the crown of the centre, preparatory to the turning of the arch, of which only five courses of stone on each side had been seen set. Upwards of eighty tons had already been piled, and the workmen were employed piling more.— The loss to the contractor from this accident it estimated at four lo five John Francis^ Earl of Mar, who was so lately restored to the ancient and illustrious Peerage of his ancestors.

SCOTLAND AND IRELAND COMPARED,— Scot- land and Ireland are very nearly of the same extent, the area of the former, with its islands, being about 30,000, and that of Ireland about 31,000 square miles. Land is of value, however, only for what grows on it, or lies under it, and a large portion of Scotland is so destitute of mineral and vegetable wealth, that the real superiority of Ireland is very | jtrcat4 Sir John Sinclair estimates the productive soils of Scotland at 5,000,000 of acres out o" 19,< 100,000, or very little more than one fourth In a Pai lianientary Report ( 1813, 1S14) the bogs and mountains of Ireland are estimated at 2,330,000 acres, and the arable land at 18,107,000. The pro diicfive soil of Ireland is therefore to flint of Scot- land as to 1.— The population of Scotland in 1821 was 2,093,000, and that of Ireland 6,846,01) 0: the ratio is therefore very nearly the same as in the case of the arable soil.— The net revenue of Scotland in 1821 was £ 3,436,642 ; that of Ireland, to be in due proportion, should have been £ 12,000,000, but it . was no more than one third part of this amount.— | The exports of the two countries in 18*^ 3 w^ re, Scotland £ 9,070,535, Ireland £ 8,152,749.— The amount of shipping belonging to Ireland is only one third of that belonging to Scotland, instead of being three times greater!

They are very extensive hoiders of cotton. SCOTS COLLIERIES —[ Fro » > the Glasgow Chronicle.']— The alarm naturally felt by all classes at ( be operations of the combined colliers to limit' the supply, and by a forced scarcity to raise the price of coals during next winter, will not be at all allayed by the intelligence that Mr. Dunlop, of Clyde Iron Works, whose case was so fully detailed last week, has been obliged to comply with the demands of his colliers. His Hamilton Farm col- liery has been slopped twelve weeks, and the iron work six weeks. The wages of his workmei amounted to about £ 1,200 a fortnight. The idl workmen were regularly supported by the rest the combination ; and what must excite surprise with the exception of five of the principal coal, works, they readily found employment in othe; quarters. This latter circumstance Isad a strong effect in inducing Mr. Dunlop to give way ; as h had at least expected that none of the trade won hare employed those men who had so unjustifiably left him. As long as this continued, any attempt to reduce them was considered hopeless. So many had thus been employed elsewhere, that on Saturday week, the g- eneral combination were only £ 80 out of pocket to support the idle men. The loss accru- ing from the stoppage of the works was great; and it was, therefore, deemed useless to protract a con- test single- handed when the chances were so much against him. Ihe colliers have partially re- com- menced working, and the blast furnaces are putting in order ; but the population of the village will consume another fortnight in idleness before the I works are fully set a- going. As was to be expected, on the termination of the abore dispute, the colliers of another extensive coal- master struck work on Saturday. Other coal- masters probably will next be the object of a strike. The public will soon feel the consequences: already at some of the coal- hills the price is raised. In the mean time the colliers are going forward with these alarming proceedings unchecked. On Saturday last there was a secret meeting of nearly one hundred delegates at West- muir. The colliers have it in agitation at present to present Mr. Dunlop with a gold medal, cup, or snuff- box, value one hundred guineas, as a testi- mony of their gratitude for his yielding to their demands. FIRE.— A most destructive fire broke out about two o'clock, on Friday morning, in the ship- building- yard of Mr. Roy den, near the Brunswick. Dock, Liverpool, which commit* nicated to the byilding- yards of Mr. John Wilson, Messrs. Clarke and Nielson, aud Messrs. Pearson and Dawson. The loss, it is calculated, Cannot be less than £ 30,000 Several Vessels, nearly finished, were com- pletely destroyed. LONDON MUTTON— From an examination before the Lord Mayor, at Guildhall, last week it appears, that great numbers of sheep iu a dread fully diseased state ( from the rot) are now brought to the London Markets. One person killed twenty iu that state in one day ; and it would have been of no use to attempt to fatten them in that condition, as all the food they took turned to water on the stomach. There were, it appeared, several thou- sands of sheep in the country that had been slightly affected during the last autumn aud winter, and had been just kept on their legs by the late long- continu- ed dry weather; but as it was found impossible to fat- ten them, and as the rainy season was approaching, they would now be sent to the London market as fast as they could be got rid of. It Was stated by the Lord Mayor, that these sheep are sold at front 15s downwards ; and that 44 it wautd be hard to prevent the unfortunate farmers from making the best they could of their ill luck!''''— What will the lovers of mutton say to this doctrine ? ADULTERATED SUGAR — Mansion- House — Mr. Clarke, of Apothecaries' Hall, in the course of some conversation which he had on Monday with the Lord Mayor upon the subject of the adulteration of teas, stated what he said he thought it important the public should be acquainted with, in order that they might be on their guard against the article. A lady who resided, he believed, in Berwick street^ Soho, applied to Doctor Brookes, to analyze sonie sugar which she had purchased in the neighbou hood, arid the doctor, not having time to do as she requested, referred her to him. She said, that she was in the habit of sweetening pies and puddings with the sugar of which she produced a - sample and that the children always fell sick immediately after their . meals. She had remarked that it was necessary to use a great quantit y of this sugar before it had any effect upon that. with whielfit was mixed, and that when the pies or puddings tasted sweet they also tasted salt or brackish. The twang which this commodity gave to tea, was also very extraor dinary, and she felt a grievous sickness in he stomach after drinking it : the sugar was, never theless, extremely bright. On analysing it, found that it contained about one- half of common salt, which was about a halfpenny a pound. Thi ingredient, when applied in such enormous quan- tities must excite excessive thirst and fever in child ren, and could not be very serviceable to grow people, putting out of the question the immense centage gained upon the adulteration. The Lord Mayor said the public were certainly indebted to Mr! Clarke for this piece of intelligence, and would, no doubt, consider the obligation increased i by the in formal ion as to the means of discovering the adulteration. Mr. Clarke sa> d a person had to do no more to detect the adulteration, than to put a little of the suspected article into a cup, and pour a little spirit of wine upon it The . sugar would im- mediately melt, and the salt would remain at the bottom. In Botany, according to Baron Huraboldl, there are 56, u0' J plants, and their species: and in Entomology 40,000 insect*, all accom modated with names.

CAUTION.— The last Vagrant Act has an im. portant clause, which is beginning to be enforced in " very salutary manner to the advantage of parishes hich have heavy burthens from the- poors rates. It is provided in the 3d section, . 4t That eVery Jfi^ on being able wholly or in part to maintain limself or herself, or his or her family, by work or other means, and wilfully refusing or neglecting so to dci, by which refusal or neglect he or she, or any of his. or her family whom he or she may be legally bound to maintain, shall have become chargeable to any ! parish, township, or place ;" also 44 every lerson. wandering abroad or placing himself or le. rself in any public place, street, & e. to beg or gather alms, or causing or procuring or encourag- ing any child or children so to do;" shall be deemed idle and disorderly person within the true intent and meaning of this Act; and it shall be lawful for any Justice. of the Peace to Commit such offender ( being thereof convicted before him) to the House, of Correction, to be kept to hard labour for an^ time not exceeding one calendar month. At Somerset Assizes, an action was brought bv a poor man, ( Hdwards v. Lyddon,) who had dislocaled his wrist, against the defendant, a surgeon, for unskilful treatment and neglect. No witnesses were called, and a verdict was entered for the plaintiff by consent, damages A highwayman* named Holland, confined in. Newgate, vsent for a solicitor to know how he could defer his trial ? and was answered, 44 by getting an apothecary to make art af- fidavit ot his illness." This was accordingly done in the following manner:—" The de- ponent verily believes, that if the said James Bolland is obliged to lake his trial at the ensu- ing sessions, he will be in imminent danger of his life." To which the learned Judge on the bench answered, " That he verily believedso too." t he trial was ordered to proceed im- mediately. HORSE- STEALING.— At the Sessions for Ihe Borough of Lv • IN, last week, . loltu Austin was found guilty of mealing a mace, the properly of Mr. VV. Baker, and sentence of Death recorded. Austin was apprehended at Sleaford on suspicion and llie Magistrates there, with Ihe iriosl valuable attention lo Ihe public interest, issued hand bills, and sent them, hi/ post, on the same day, lo all Ihe post towns iu Norfolk und the adjoining counties, and to Bow- street, Sue.; Ihe co. isequence of which prompt conduct was, that on liie day following Austin's examination al Sleafyrd, the owner of tin- horse saw in Norfolk a handbill, describing animal answering the description of ihe one which he had lost, aud immediately set off fur . Sleaford and found his property. The great uiilily, in all cases of horse. stealing, of instantly sending hand- bills through the l ost offices is therefore appa. rent; and the nefarious pi- aclice of horse- stealing will, by a prompt attention lo this mode of rapidly announcing their ihefts, be in a short lime mate rialty cheeked. If the handbills are sem unsealed, anil addressed to Postmasters, Magistrates; or other Public Officers, Ihey are pi- riuitltd to go free of postage. LANCASTF. II ASSIZES— Turner's Blacking, Jones e. TURNBH.— This was an action to recover the sum of £ ii. ; is. for work and labour done, in painting on the walls in and about Liverpool the words " Use Turner'. Blanking-, 114, I. omlon Road, Southw'ark." It appeared in the evidence that the plaintiff received directions to wriie up " Use Turner's Blacking-," on all the dead walls and houses in and about the town of Liverpool, and for which the defendant promised to pay a liberal sum of money. The letters were painted in what would be called a noble character— that was to say, nine inches long nil two broad. The plaintiff prepared " hat paint- II a sixpenny tool lo execule this order, together with a due quantity of size and whiting and bullocks' gall, and iu every other respect ful- filled Ihe order of Ihe defendant. For nil this trouble the defendant promised to pay the plaintiff through tin' means of his travelling agent, but up to this hour the demand had not been liquidated. The son of the plaintiff, a very spruce looking gentleman for a wall- painter's sou, proved the nd list ry of his father in complying, with the orders of the defendant; and in cross. examination he could not say whether this trial was intended as puff for Turner's Blacking, or Iiis father's penman- ship, or An cheat ihe different newspapers of the usual advertisements at the time id the summer assizes. The work was well done, and amounted to id ISs. out of which his father only received 10s. The cross- examination was further continued by Mr. Brougham. What is your father?— An olieer. lu the army ?— No, Sir, iu the Customs. Is lie a collector ? — No, Sir. I am glad they are so idle in the Customs as to have time to chalk the walls. Where did you paint this advertisemunt ? — Ou every dead wall aud other vacant place. Did you ask leave of the different proprietors ? No, we did not. So you covered over the poople's walls with this stuff without asking their leave ? — So it is, Sir. Why Ihis stuff is made of bullocks' blood, eh?— No, Sir ; of bullocks' gall, an, I size, and whiting. It smells abominably ?— We cannot help that, Sir. You bedaub people's houses wilh il ?— Where we can, Sir. And their doors and windows ? — Oh dear, no, Sir. But you do their garden walls ? — Yes, Sir. Did you ever paint it » n people's backs, Sir > No, Sir, for they are not wide enough. Nor upon the" carriages as they passed ?— Why, how could we do so. You always did this work at night?— Generally so, or iu the morning. Mr. BROUGHAM then submitted that this action could not be maintained, inasmuch as it appeared from the testimony adduced that these parties entered into a contract to e inimit nuisances by wholesale. Mr. Baron BULLOCK.— Why don't you pay the people for their whiting and stuff? Mr. BROUGHAM— We do not deal in whiting, my Lord ; we only deal in blacking, and we are not always paid for that. We really, my Lord, think this to be an illegal contract. Mr. Baron Hut, LOCK.— Perhaps so, lint you must pay ibe plaintiff YTou blacking people spoil all the walls in the country, and yet vou refuse to pay for it Gentlemen of the Jury, you will find for the plaintiff. Verdict for the plaintiff— Damages £ 6 3s. At Gloucester Assizes, on the trial of John Adlam, for aiding in a boxing match, in which James Miller received a blow which occasioned his death, Mr. Baron Garrow said, that he was sure the magistracy of that county would on all occasions be found to do their duty to prevent prize fighting, whenever a complaint 011 oath was made that there was a likelihood of a riotous assembly, meet- ing for the purpose of committing any such unlaw- ful act ; if any magistrate should neglect his duty, by omitting to act on such information, it Should not he long until he would be brought up before the Court, and called to order for dereliction of his duty. The misconstruction of law terms is sometimes not uuamusing, ami a mistake committed by an Irish officer, who was recently tried for an alleged assault, appears to us extremely characteristic. As the Jury were coming to be sworn, the Judge, addressing the Major, told him, that if there were any amongst them to whom he had any objection, that was the time to challenge them.— 44 I thank your Lordship," said the gallant prisoner, 4t but, with your Lordship's permission, I'll defer that ceremony till after my trial, and if they don't acquit me, by the pipe of Leinster I'll challenge every mother's son of them, and have ' em out too."

The procession was conducted with great solemnity, and in a manner according with the rank of the deceasivl lady. Among the carriages which preceded the hearse, were those of . Sir Roger Greeley, Bart. G. Toilet, J. Caldwell, V. Twemlow, T. H. Parker, Esqrs. and thp Rev. T. Butt. The heaise had six horses, followed by two coaches and four, in the first of . which were Mr. Heathcote, his Son, * nd Lord, Lindsay, her Ladyship's brother; in the second, the Bishop. of KilUla and Mr. Nigel Heathcote; the carriages of Mr. Heathcote with four horses, Lord Lindsay, Dr. Northen, and Others, followed.

At Lancaster Assizes, an action was tried occa- sioned by the neglect of a coachman and guard. The ma^ l coach had arrived at the post. office at Liverpool; the guard took the bags and went away with them, leaving the coachman on the box with the reins, but nobody at the heads of the horses. An inside passenger desired to be let out; the coachman descended for that purpose, the horses ran away, apd. lhe coach was overturned, occasioning a very serious injury to the plaintiff. The jury returned a, verdict of £ 350 against the coachman and Owner. The utility of the new law relative to man- slaughter, is every day more apparent, as it afford ® the Judges an opportunity. of visiting w ith whole- some severity very aggravated cases— At Lancas- ter, 011 Saturday, George Metharri was sentenced to be transported for life, for killing William Hud- son, a; fellow prisoner in Kirkdale Gaol. The case was very atrocious, and but little rerSioycd from murder. . . . . LORD COCHRANE A COTTON SPECULATOR., — The Liverpool Courier says, it is a fact not generally known, that Lord Cochrane, whilst he was pn the northern coast of Brazil, during part of last year and the beginning of the present* invested nearly all the wages aud prize money he received, in. ihe Brazilian service in cotton, which was consigned to an agent in Liverpool. We have not learnt whether his Lordnhip's agent, disposed of the cot ton during the reign of high prices, or whether lie still holds the article. AboUt a hundred years ago, there was a stock o^ a species of fund in Holland, called the Tulip- Stock) which was literally constituted, in the fol lowing manner. Half a dozen merchants ha4 tulips of a particular growth, that is, particularly variegated in the leaves/ A price of four or five hundred pounds was very shortly attached to each f these tulip, roots; the merchants at length sold them on the Exchange, and the right to them ( for they were never moved from the merclia'uis'garden) was again sold and. re- sold, till a million, we be- lieve, of English money was at length actually invested iu half a dozen tulip roots,— every root being at length divided into hundred pound shares, and still remaining unmoved from the garden of the original proprietor. Now, are uot half the existing.- speculations altogether as fanciful as this Tulip Stock, having no other foundation thau'a ® mean ( i> ^ roiUud of speculation ? And by a. necessary consequence; \ Vhen the spirit of specula- tion ceases, will not every thing disappear with ii ? will there he any thing of real value, any land^ money, mines, or minerals, as some poor return to those who have honestly, but injudiciously^ embarked iu them as fair and promising specula- tions ? Will it not be like the tulipf, which, when the fashion Or Caprice of dealing in this kind of sioCk ceased in Holland, the last purchasers of the stock had for their money that is, six tulip root ® divided amongst their Stock Exchange, as they could best agree in the division. The magistrates of York have sent to the tread- mill, for six months, a militia- man of the name of Samuel Barnborough, for not attending the late training of the 2d West York Militia, to which he belonged. He was seen in York a few days previ- ous to the training, and again shortly after it was over, but took care to keep out of the way whilst the regiment was on duty. He was, however,, apprehended by the Permanent Staff of the regi- ment a Short time ago. He was also a defaulter at the training in 1821. The same man also hired for the North and East York Regiments of Militia j from both which he is likewise a deserter; so that when his six months are expired for the above offence, lie will lie liable to six months more labour at Ihe tread mili, for his desertion from the North York Militia, and to a third period of six months, as an absentee from the East York Militia, making together ' eighteen months for his frolic. BLACKBURN.— On Friday last, an auctionee* in th> s tow n, who also acts as a bailiff,, was brought up at the Sessions under the Statute 57th Geo. III. ( we believe) for excessive charges on a distress for rent, and afler the circumstances had been heard, the Magistrates convicted him in three times the amount of the orei. Charqe, which the Statute authorizes them to do.— We think this cannot be too extensively known, as the system of overcharging is very prevalent amongst the bailiffs* Two gentlemen of Leeds made a bet of ten sovereigns that an acquaintance of their's, with bom they daily take dinner, did not during one week ( at table) speak one hundred words: it waa decided on Friday, when this curious specimen of taciturnity had only Uttered seventy eight.

The old established houses not feeling disposed to have the attention of their customers diverted by the low prices published by the stranger, came to a determination to make a sacrifice; immediately the windows were seen filledl with articles, ticketed at less than one- half their former prices; calico at 2d. a yard, gloves Id. per pair, & c. Aud whilst the front of 44 Scotland House" was covered with muslins, prints, and handkerchiefs, pending from the attic windows^ and waving like streamers long aud uay across the street, the adjoining 44 London House," wilh proud superiority reared a standard on its summit^ from whence its banner floated, not to excite to deeds of sanguinary conflict, but peaceably to pro- claim to the crowds that gaihered round it, the unrivalled Cheapness of the goods within. The stranger ( who it seems is a Scot) added to the attractions of his establishment, by distributing from his upper windows a liberal supply of cakes to the gaping crowd below. CAMBRIDGE, AUG 26.— The spirit of enter- prize, which the lale ever to be lamented Dr. Clarke so powerfully excited among the members of this University, has not suffered any abatement. A young man of fortune, lately of Trinity College$ Mr B ane, returned to Cairo with his friend, Mr, Crompton, on ihe 15th of last May, after a journey across the Desert, which was attended with a good deal of hardship, from the want of water, and from the excessive lieat. They had pursued the rout of Moses and the Israelites, and, travelling with the Book of Exodus in their hands, had reached Mount Sinai. They drank their coffee on the spot where MosCs received the Decalogue, visited the cave in which Elijah had taken refuge at Horeb j and placed. themselves 011 the stone whereon Moses sat when his hands were lifted up whilst Israel fought against Amalck. They dis- covered also several caves containing curious objects of antiquity, not hitherto known nor visited by any traveller. On their return to Cairo they were preparing to start for Jerusalem and Damascus. We hope to he gratified with further particulars of these interesting travellers. M.

Morimouthshire Assizes. At these Assizes, William Thomas, aged 64, was found guilty of the manslaughter, under aggravated circumstances, of William Jenkins, a person of wea' intellect, aged 28 years. The parties were inmates of a poor- bouse. Thomas was sentenced to be im prisoned two years to hard labour. The EARL OF ABERGAVENNY, Plaintiff, and WALTER OSELAND, Defendant, This was an inquisition executed before the Sheriff, assisted by Mr Justice, the barrister. Mr. Campbell and Mr. Shepherd were Counsel for the plaintiff1, and Mr. Cross for the defendant. Mr Campbell opened the case upon the part of the plaintiff, by stating, that it was one of consider- able importance, and that he fell gratified in address ing a jury so respectable as thai which was assembled before hiuk He said, that when he stated the case was very important, he did not mean to express th: the action which was brought lo recover damages from the defendant, for certain trespasses committed bv him on the Noble Plaint'ft'' s lands, was so brought for any great or positive injury which he, the plaintiff had reeeived; nor could he affirm that damages formed a consideration on the part of his Noble Chen for he was ready to admit that moderate damages, coupled with the heavy load of costs which would follow the veidic*, would operate, he did hope, as warning to the defendant, to refrain from such act in future as those which he had that day to complain of. The Learned Counsel, however, tirged, that there were other views in which the case was of great importance; and in- verdict which would be given upon the defendant's conduct, would hereafter be appealed to, as evidence of the plaintiff's light and privileges,' which iii fact had never been called in question, from the Norhian Conquest to the present hour except by the defendant, who was the tool and instrument of persons of much more Wealth, conse- quence, and influence than himself. The facts of the case, he said, were shortly these. The Earl of Abergavenny was possessed of the ancient land Barony of Abergavenny, comprising many, many manors, large domains, and immense tractsof mountainous lands in Monmouthshire, known by the name of the Abergavenny Hills. These great possessions had descended to his client through a long line of illustrious ancestors. Many and various Courts had been held for these Manors, from time mmemorial. Manorial right of every description d been exercised for ages past; and all the feudal erogalives which are attached to one of the oldest nd Baronies in the kingdom had been preserved, far as they are consistent with the laws of the esent times'" 44 It does, however, happen, Gentle- men," said Mr. Campbell, 44 and the fact is not unknown to you, that, of late years, these wastes or mountain lands have become of more value, than they ere to your hardy ancestors for grazing sheep, our mutton, Gentlemen, is still excellent; but the defendant, and his patrons and abettors, do not visit us on the Hills, to take their mutton with us: No, Gentlemen, their anxiety is to study mineralogy and geology below the surface of the lands; they have strong itching to examine our lime- stone, our coal, and our iron ; and in these days, Gentlemen, it does not require much alchemy to transmute these same rticles into gold. My Imputation to- day, ou the fendant and the gentlemen whom I shall hereafter ortly name, is this, that, by a continued series of tie trespasses on the plaintiff's lands, kept up from year fo year, now firing off a gun on the Hills, and W boldly asking some one connected with tly » plaintiff or his tenant, 4 what right have you to be here ?' by encroaching here a little, and there a little, to form hereafter, bv these petty exercises of owner ship, the foundation for a case to dispute the plaintiff's ght to his Estates, and to obtain possession of pro- perty, which they have just as much a right to, as the man in the adjoining Courts had to that which he had abstracted from the pocket of his prosecutor, and for which he is'about justly to be. consigned to condign punishment. About nine vears ago, Gentle men, two gentlemen of fortune, Messrs Yeates and Powell, who hold a little Manor, called Park Lettuce Llanover. part of the Barony of Abergavenny, and a bin feud at ion from the same, of the value of a quar- ter of a Knig ht's fee in ancient times, set up a claim, you, Gentlemen, may perhaps liave heard, to the immense iron- works of Messrs. . Hill* of Blaenavo. ii. They contended, thai these works were erected on waste lands, which, they alleged, belonged to their tty manor of Park Lettuce; and, big with what ey considered the uncertainty of the law, they ade a claim tort large share of the Abergavenny lis, and brought their ejectment, Gen leo. en, qui- ly, and in due cotirse of law,, to turn Messrs Hill out » f their houses, engines, ehttrcb, and furnaces, hich ihey thought they could use to more advantage, nd which, if they could have gained, Would have fibrtied a most extraordinary appendage to the anuria! cottage of Park Lettuce. We have heard f, Gentlemen, but never seen, the jack daw, with II the fine- spread plumage of the peacock annexed his tail. Such would have been Park Lettuce Manor, with the Abergavenny Mountains. Well, entlemen, tbe cause came on for trial in this town, nd Messrs. Yeates and Powell went home minus any thousand pounds, which they left here as the > sts of that action. Since then, Mr. Powell has ied, and his interest in Park Lettuce has devolved pon the Rev. Mr. Skrine. The worthy defendant, Mi. Oseland, is designated as Gamekeeper fortius ntleman and Mr. Osborne Yeates. lie is a Game, keeper, Gentlemen, to perambulate a few rods of land,> which constitute the important, and now cer- inlv famed Manor of Park Lettuce Llanover. After this defeat, Gentlemen, it was hoped these claims would have been abandoned, and this tool of a Game eeper would have exercised his sportsmanlike talents in shooting through his own ham door, lest, by directing his gun in another line, his shots should extend far beyond the bounds of his Manor. This man, however, has been employed for two years" past going about the Hills, warning the plaintiff's eople and friends off the Common. In addition to his, he has been driving estrayS from the Hills to the new. erected pound of Park Lettuce, and putting pon the animals the. initials L. P. In August, 1822', shall prove, that the defendant warned off ihe Hills the plaintiff's agent and tenants. In 1823, he warned ff Mr. Hill, of Blaenavon. He afterwards did th same to Mr, Gabh, the plaintiff's solicitor; and he hewed Mr. Gabb, as I shall prove to you, a letter, n which he said he was authorised by the Lords of Park Lettuce, to do what he was then performing. These, Gentlemen, and various other acts, are fhe matters of which I complain : and if is material to state, that, as the former action related to the land on'which'the works of Dlaeuavon are erected, this elates to other parts of the mountains very remote from the former; so that we do now presume, that the plaintiff, having been roused to bring this matter gain into a Court of Justice, ( for the Noble Earl, " enllemen, has exhibited far too much forbearance;) I say, we de hope, as the Lords of Paik Lettuce • eliue trying again these supposed rights, that we hall to- day take leave of them for ever; and thai this same worthy Gamekeeper intends to be so orderly n future, that he will now give us a proof of his sincerity, by doffing his velvet jacket, and diminish- ing, the next year, the King's revenue, to the extent at least of his licence t<> shoot in this county." Mr. Edwards, Mr. Gabb, aud Mr Hill, were then severally examined on the part of the plaintiff, and proved the fact before mentioned. Mr. Cross, for the defendant, contended, that at at all events no damage had been done by Ihe trespasses complained of; but admitted that the defendant had acled under the direction of his em- ployers. Mr. Justice, the Sheriff's Assessor, then summed up, and pointed out to the Jury, that, though the respasses had been committed, yet there appeared to be no insult or great aggravations; that Lord Abergavenny's object wag lo establish his right; and that that object would be attained by nominal damages. The Jury gave £ 5 damages, and costs. ~ CARNARVON. At the Carnarvonshire Great Session, John Roberts, tried for the wilful murder of Catherine Rowlands, was acquitted on I he ground of insanity, and was diiected to be kept in Custody. Henry Parry, for embezzling 15s. lOd. the pro- perly of his employer, was sentenced to be im- prisoned 12 months. At Nisi Prins an action was brought,— " Thomas v. Dodd," to recover a certain sum. A vessel had been wrecked on the coast, and the plaintiff was particularly active in endeavouring to save the property. The defendant, who is au ex- ciseman, bad had £ 40 entrusted to him by Ihe owners of the property saved, for him to divide amongst the persons who had been active in saving the property from the wreck: Ibe defendant had only given the plaintiff 40s. of the money, and he considered himself entitled to £ 4. ISs. 5d. for Ihe balance of which he brought this action, and the Jury found a verdict in his favour. Evans r. Humphreys."— This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, for assaulting and biting him oil the 5th < » f March last. Tbe case was fully proved, and the Jury found for the plaintiff, damages £ 8.— In another action, brought against the same defendant by the landlord of the public house iu which the assault above- mentioned took place, for breaking the door and creating a disturbance, the defendant sub mitted to a verdict for 40s. against him. ANGLESEY. At the Beaumaris Great Session, a person was charged with the wilful murder of an infant; but the Jury, after seven hours'' deliberation, returned a verdict of 44 Not Guilty." The Jesuits' College at Stony hurst. The Jesuits, when they were driven from Liege, and their property confiscated at the French Revolu- tion, sought an asylum iu England, and were pre- sented by ' he father, or grandfather, of Mr. Weld, ' lie present owner of Lulworth Castle, with the house and 100 acres of land, at Stony hurst. They have since purchased 100 more. They are also tenants for no inconsiderable quantity of land, altho* the produce of tbe whole is insufficient for the wants of their establishment. The society consists of supo r ors, missionaries, and teachers. The first of these are few in number; they are the governors of the establishment, and have the whole direction of its affairs. One of them is called the President. The missionaries are priests who rfficiate iu different chapels in ihe neighbourhood, where there is no resident priest ; aud are also ready to succeed or tS'. ist those who ore at a greater distance. The leathers have each the care of a particular school, ind are under the direction of one who is called the Superintendent of studies. There are also what are ailed prefects, who have the superintendence of the scholars at their studies, their sports, and in their walks. The number of scholars is about 200 ; the greaier part of them are Irish, but there are foreigners, we believe, from every part of Ibe globe ' I'he circumstances attending the. situation of one of these are not a little peculiar. The boy is an Armenian,; consequently, we suppose, a member of tbe Greek Church, whicl^, if we mistake not,, differs considerably from the Roman Catholic. His pension, or board, is paid by the Pacha of Egypt, who is, of course, a Mahometan He is consigned to a Protest ant. gentleman iu Manchester, who, strange to tell, sends him to be educated at the Roman Catholic establishment at Stony hurst. Each scholar pays £ 50 per annum. Two hundred ( and this number has been sometimes considerably exceeded) produce £ 10,000. Their real property may be Valued at £ 40,000; including the gift of Mr. Weld, nnd what they have themselves expended on the purchase of land, and the improvement and enlargement, of the building. Their annual revenue, may, therefore, not unfairly be stated at £ 12,000. Their gains must have been very considerable to enable them to lay- out £ 30,000 in about twenty years, ami there is no reason to suppose that ihey are, at present, at all below tbe general average, yet they are soliciting subscriptions towards building a new chapel ( asking for the contributions even of their surgeon and phy- sician), to which they themselves magnanimously subscribe £ 300.. In the course of the five and twenty years that Stonvhnrst has been in possession of its present owners, an entire change has been wrought on the religious character of the neigh- borhood, the majority of its inhabitants were not ben Roman Catholic's, the preponderance was on the side of the Protestants. Al the present time the Protestants are reduced to less than one- seventh of » he whole population of the district. Of course, the 44 College," as it is called, gives employment in one wav or other to a great number of persons, and none f them are Protestants. Intermarriages between Catholic and Protestant families have been most numerous iu the neighbourhood: and this we know to have been tbe most prolific source of what they term conversions. The refuse meat of 250 or 300 people, the cast- off clothes of nearly the same num- ber ( for they provide the scholars with an uniform dress), must either he given away or sold for very little; and it is tbe general understanding of the neighbourhood, that nobody must look for any thing the former way of disposal, without, occasionally at least* appearing at mass. [ From the Evening star of Monday last.] We request the serious attention of our Readers to the leading article in Ihe Morning Chronicle of this day, which taken as a whole, is one of the most alarming and mischievous productions that w- e have for some lime observed : but some opinion of its character may be formed from the following sentences : 44 It is idle to blame the shipwrights, or any other 41 class of men, because they exert themselves to live 44 as well as ihey can." * * * Feeling themselves 44 more independent, they are less disposed lo conciji- '* ate their employers." * * 44 lfa change do not take 44 place in the Corn Laws of this country, and that 44 soon, very serious consequences must ensue." * * * " Are we to remain stock- still, like penguins, and 44 allow ourselves to be knocked on the bead— for ' 6 what else will this policy do? Let all the indus- 44 trious classes combine against their gieat enemy, 44 the landholder. I'he landholders conduce no- 44 thing to the prosperity of the country— they are of 4k rio other earthly use than fo serve, by the advan 44 tages they enjoy, to inci'e the productive classes to 44 exertion, in order to acquire property." The writer then mentions, with commendation, a sagacious proposal of Mr. Mill, lhat such portion of the rent of land, as it may be fit to award the proprietor, should be fixed at sortie limited amount, as a rent- charge, and that all surplus rent above this sum should be seized on by the Slate. Are we to Understand, then* that this Journal is fhe organ of the great Whig Proprietors in Eng- land-— the genuine interpreter of their Opinions?— My Lord Fitzwrliiam— Sir Francis Burdett— what say you to such maxims ?-— Are yon and the test of tbe Whigs, so fired of your ample possessions, banded down to you and yours from a long line'of ancestors, and the enjoyment of those princely en dowments consecrated by the lapse of So many ages, that you are now anxious to become pen- sioners on your own revenues?— Truly, if so, your splendid incomes should be managed, not by the State, but by the Lord Chancellor, iu his special capacity as guardian of a certain unfortunate class of his Majesty's subjects. But it is not so ; « — the Whig Interest will find another channel for its sen- liments, and concur with us in holding up to public execration the detestable maxim, that the Landholder is the great enemy of the industrious class ;— and sure are we, thai the sound, plain, ami mauly good sense of the labourer, and his native discrimination, will leach him to despise Ihe ex hortalioti to combine against the Landholder, who is not his enemy, but his best friend, his constant employer, and who is, in facl, but the steward of his own revenue, which, in the shape of wag returns to nourish and support the aitizaii and his family, thereby diffusing comfort and happiness over the whole community. that his mistress was on some strange business, from , tlie shops she had visited, and purchases she had made. Perhaps also, said Martih, from her looks? Perhaps so, and looking into the carriage, he found that she had fallen « m the seat. He instantly drove to an apothecary, who, perceiving her hands clasped in a convulsive grasp, opened them, and found the bottles. He immediately knew, of course, what ailed her, and applied the usual remedies— ept her walking, or on her legs, at least, for a dozen ours or more, and r « covered her so as to get her home aud to bed. Did she show any signs of sorrow for her act, as Soon as she recovered ? asked mv friend. I do not know, not having the honour of being acquainted With any portion of Miss Tree's family, bow the domestic part of the matter was arranged, I can only pretend to tell of the more public part of the catastrophe. And what was that? Why, when Bradshaw heard il, he was in the epths of despair— cursed himself by all the gods he knew of-- laniented that he ever should have lent so easy an ear to his mother's counsel in so important a matter to bis own personal feelings— in short, did very thing a man quite eperdu could be expected to do. The very moment Miss T. was visible he be- sieged her— he gave no one about her rest or peace until he had au audience from herself— would lake no rejection from any body but herself— and, finally, fought himself into her presence, with what success ou know already.. Why, yes, said Martin : the old adage,— is it not n Terence? — the quarrel of lovers is the renewal of love, has held, I perceive, here also. 41 What drugs, what charms, what conjuration, and what mighty magic he employed," it is very easy to guess. They are married, you see, and oft' to Dover hence to the Continent. I wish her happiness, but cannot help saying that she is the first young- lady I ever heard of who drank laudanum to so successful a termination. THE MAELSTROM WHIRLPOOL. LETTER FROM A GENTLEMAN IN WASHINGTON TO THE HON. A. B. WOODWARD, JUDGE OF MIDDLE FLORIDA. 44 This wonderful phenomenon, that has excited the wonder and astonishment of the world, I have seen. There are few of my countrymen who have had the opportunity, in consequence of it being remote from any port of commerce. Its latitude and longitude I do not exactly recollect. It is situated between two islands, belonging to a group off the coast of Norway, called the Low- instnft' Islands, between D onthiem ( being the most northern port of com- merce) and the North Cape. 1 suppose the latitude to be about 69 north, but will not be certain. I had occasion, some years since, to navigate a ship from the North Cape to Drontbiem, nearly all be way between the islands or rocks and the main. On enquiring of my Norway pilot about the practica- bility of running near the whirlpool, lie told me that with a good breeze it could be approached near enough for examination without danger. I at once determined to satisfy myself. We began to near it about 10 A M. in the month of September, with a fine leading wind N. W. Two good seamen were placed at the helm, the Mate on the quarter deck, all hands at their station for working the ship, and the pilot standing on the bowsprit, between ihe night heads. I went ou the main- topsail yard, with a good glass. I had been seated but a few moments, when my ship entered the dish of the whirlpool; the velocity of ihe water altered her course three points towards the centre, although she was going eight knots through the water. This alarmed me extremely for a moment I thought that destruction was inevitable. She. however, answered her helm sweetly, and we run along the edge, the waves foaming round us in every form while $ he was dancing gailv over them. The sensations I experienced are difficult to describe Imagine to yourselves an immense circle running round, of a diameter of one and a half miles, the velocity increasing as it approximated towards th Centre, and gradually changing its dark blue colour to wbite— foaming, tumbling, rushing, to its vortex ; very much concave, as much so as tbe water ill tunnel when half run out; the noise, too, hissing, roaring, dashing— all pressing on the mind al once, presented the most awful* grand, solemn sight, I ever experienced. 44 We were near it ahoiit 18 minutes, and in sight of it two hours. It is evidently a subterranean passage, that leads, the Lord knows where From its magni- tude, I should not doubt that instant destruction woo d be tbe fate of a dozen Of our largest ships, were they dirtwn in at the same moment — The pilot says that several vessels have been sucked doWn, and that whales have also been destroyed. The first I think probable enough, but I rather dofibt the latter. 4 I have thus, Sir, given yon a lame, hut a true account. If hereafter 1 can occupy a leisure hour iu detail tig scenes nnd circumstances within mv own knowledge, in the course of twetity- two years' voy aging, I shall be happy, and will be amply repaid by the consciousness that I have contributed to add one moment's pleasure to a gentleman I so highly respect aud esteem."— Michigan Herald. MISS TREE. We copy the following from The News of Literature and Fashion. The facts our readers will perceive are conveyed in the shape of con versa lion between two feigned characters:— You have heard the current story, then? I « sked Ye$- but not exactly. Is there really any founda tion for it ? Yon shall hear it exactly as I heard it, and, I believe, truly. Mr. Bradshaw courted her, and won her. It was agreed that she should, as soon a possible, throw up her employment at Covent gard and become his wife. So far so good — but, alas! " The current of true love did ne'er run smooth and so it was iu this case. Mr. B. bad no objection to marry : but his mamma bail every objection that her daughter- in- law should ever have been actress. I. beg pardon for interrupting you; but who is Lady Peyton? There the deponent saye « h not. She lives in Grosvenor. place, which will, I presume, become very fashionable as soon as ibe new palace is built Do you know is she a woman of the first fashion? Pshaw! she, however, put her interdict on the match, declaring, that she would never speak to her son if be made it ; and that as for ever speaking to his wife, thai was entirely out of the question. How he comhatted this determination 1 cannot say — but, finally, 44 love was controlled by advice"— although poor Polly Peaehum deemed such a catastrophe impossible — and he declared oft'! In propria persona ? No ; he acted as all prudent people do— he ap- peared by attorney. His solicitor waited on Miss Tree one fine morning about a fortnight ago, aud requested to see her.— She. of course, thought that she was called ou by so official a personage for the purpose of signing marriage settlements, or doing those other legal preliminaries which are necessnrv on these occasions, and came down stairs, blushing, as is incumbent on young ladies to do. S'te soon found her mistake. The solicitor did his duty will all fit technicality— lamented the necessity — acknow. ledged the vast merits of ihe lady — was sure lies beauty and accomplishments could not fail to provide her a suitable match — muttered something about family arrangements— and with the deepest affliction, both for himself and Mr. Bradshaw, whom he had the honour of representing on the occasion., was obliged to decline continuing the engagement any farther. And how did Miss Tree bear this? She only said, 4 Very welt, sir,' and the man of law deparied with his best bow. Then came the tragedy part. She immediately ordered her car- riage, and drove off to a druggist's, where she pur- chased a small vial of laudanum — little more than half the quantity which would take away life. Why that? O, because druggists make a scruple and inquiry about large quantities of poisonous matter, if they hi purchased. Aud then she drove to another shop, where she purchased a similar vial. Immediately on stepping into her carriage, she swallowed the con tents of both. Luckily for her, her servant suspected ^ ticntifit anB j^ foteUflwefltfg* A Russian Gentleman, who has for Ihe last eight years been endeavouring to find the philoso- pher's stone, after a variety of compositions, has succeeded in finding a metal as polished as steel and as flexible as gold.

ANCIKNT EXTRAVAGANCE - Clodiu* jEsophus, a Roman actor, contemporary with Cicero, was much addicted to luxury. According lo Plinv tbe ehhr, a single dish al bis table, composed of the rarest singing birds, cost him £ 800 sterling; and Horace records, that he dissolved in vinegar a precious pearl, and swallowed it. Notwithstand- ing this ostentations profusion, so well was he rewarded, that he left a fortune equal to £ 160,000 sterling behind him.——— General Biographical Dictionary JUNIUS — Mr. George Coventry has lately pub lished a work to prove that the late Viscount Sackville ( better known under his earlier appella lions of Lord George Sackville, ami Lord George Germaine,) was the author of the Letters of Junius The evidence which he adduces, and which he remarks upon with considerable acnteness, appears conclusive, aud a very able writer in Blackwood's Magaz. ne expresses an opinion . thai Mr. Coventry has fully made out his case.— One thing is very clear, that the enemies of Junius were the enemies of Lord Sackville; that ihe friends of Junius w ere the friends of. Lord Viscount Sackville. Michael Angelo, when painting in the Pope's Chapel the picture of Hell and the souls of the damned, made one of the^ latter so exact a re- semblance of a Cardinal, w ho was his enemy, that every one immediately recognised it; whereupon Ihe Cardinal immediately applied to Pope Clement, desiring il might be defaced; to which the latter plied— 44 You know that I have power to deliver a soul out of purgatory— but not out of Hell?" A writer in the Quarterly Journal of Science suggests a plan for constructing Sea Ponds, for the purpose of preserving and breeding a sufficient stock of various species of fish for the public markets, ll has been found that Ihe sea fish will live and thrive in, and also breed, in ponds or in- closed waters ; and with regard to many, it also appears that it is indifferent whether Ihe water be fresh or salt, or brackish, or alternately fresh and salt. This plan would bring the fish within our own power, to be laken alive when wanted, and fiom being belter fed, in greater perfection and more uniformly good. There are three or four sea- ponds in Scotland where fish are thus kept: one in Oikuey; v> ue in the Firth of Forth ; and one in Galloway. This has lately been put to the test in Guernsey by Mr. Arnold: in a pond of about four acres only many species of sea fi « di are now thriv- ing; all those which have had sufficient time have propagated ; and all have improved in quality, and many iu a remarkable manner. Saying of the Marquis of Caranen's confessor in 1668 :— 44 The three great trades of the world are, the lawyers, who govern the world; the church- men, who enjoy the world; and a sort of fellows whom they call soldiers, who make it their work to defend the world "— Pepysy Memoirs. It appears from the Stamp Office Returns, that the duty paid last year by 46 Insurance Companies, amounted to £ 659,377 The duty^ being 3s for every £ 100 insured, the total propeiiy insured, it would seem, is itt. round numbers about £ 439,585,000. It is stated as a recent chemical discovery of great value in the process, of brewing, that by causing the fermentation to take place in a closed vessel the beer becomes mufh richer and stronger. Su RGHRY.— M. Lisfranc, surgeon in chief of the hospital of La Pi tie, at Paris, has successfully employed the chlorate of lime iu preventing iu fection from bodies in a putrid state, and also in curing simple ulcers. He has succeeded by this method in restoring patients upon whom, during several months, the usual remedies had no effecl ; and has also tried it upon recent burns, with very good results. It is a curious circumstance in the nature of the Esquimaux dogs, that ihey have so great a dread " water as to require a severe beating before they will go into it; while their neighbours, the dogs of Newfoundland^ have altogether as great an attach, ment lo the liquid element. A London Correspondent of the Dublin Morning Post says, 44 It is determined to place that cele- brated monument of antiquity, Cleopatra's Needle, on the spot now occupied by fhe equestrian statue of King Charles, at Charing. cross. For some lime past Government have been in treaty with various persons for the transport of this stupendous column lo England. Mr. Mabeily's tender to effect it for £ 9000, ( being £ 5000 less than any of his com- petitors) has beeii accepted, and the affair is to be u ndert a ken f<: ft h w i t h." SHAKING HANDS.— In this country you shake hands; but let rr. C see a person shake hauda with another, and I know by it whether his attachment be nominal or sincere. If you give another merely a finger or two, and just drop the baud down and remove it again in ihe same way,— oh, then I know the power is not active. But see how good old friends shake hands; they do it with earnest n: ss, and you may see that sincerity and attach- ment flow through Iheir fingers.— Dr. Spurzheim. A German astronomer, it appears, had predicted that no rain would fall either in the spring or autumn of the present year ; and he had found out the reason to be, that the spots on the sun had disappeared. ^ This reminds us of a medical man in Lyons, WLIOJ in 1816, w hen there was not one summer's day, fold Ihe public gravely, that the reason of it was, that the sun was sick, and Ibe moon was dead ; and he proposed to the soveieigns of Europe, that if Ihey would grant him an adequate pension, he would put all to rights— physic the sun, and bring the moon to life again.— Another medical man of Paris, who had been in tbe Russian campaign, discovered another reason for the change of the seasons, 44 France," said he, 44 marched 600,000 men to Russia, with an im- mense train of artillery, ammunition aud baggage. The Russians brought to meet us a Still superior mass. These, all collected on one point, made a sensible deviation of the line of the earth's axis: hence il has been warmer in the north, and colder in ihe south ever since."— To account for the late beats, we should not be surprised to find some learned Doc I or of Muntpelicr assert, that the sun has had Ihe scarlet- fever, and the moon Ihe measles. PLEADING.— The anxiety of Ihe Bench to pre. vent a criminal from pleading guilty has doubtless its origin in motives of humanity; but the reasons by which a prisoner is usually urged to retract his pica, must have struck every attentive observer as being rather illustrative of tbe glorious uncertainty of the law, than savouring of a speedy administra tion of justice. At the Cumberland Assizes, lasl week, one John Wilson was indicted for stealing two sheep; to this indictment he pleaded guilty. The learned and humane Judge ( Bayley,) as usual, advised him to put himself on his trial and plead not guilty. The culprit urged his own conscious ness of guilt, and unwillingness to aggravate his offence by uttering a deliberate falsehood. Mr Justice Bayley is reported lo have made the follow iug reply :— 44 Prisoner, listen to me. Sayiug you are hot guilty, is not telling an untruth— it is only desiring that you may be put upou your trial." This legal sophism, however, did not convince John Wilson, he persisted in his plea, and sentence of death was recorded against him. AUCTION OF LADIES.— An auction of unmar ried ladies used to take place annually in Babylon 44 hi every district," says tlie historian, 44 they assembled on a certain day „ of every year all the virgins of marriageable age." The most beautifu was first put up, and ihe man who bid the largest sum of money gained possession of her. The second in personal appearance followed, and the bidders gratified themselves with handsome wives according to the depth of their purses. But, alas il seems there were in Babylon some ladies for which no money was likely to be offered, yet these also were disposed of, so provident were Ihe Baby lonians. " When all the beautiful virgins," says ihe historian, 44 were sold, the crier ordered I he most deformed to stand up; and after he had openly demanded who would marry her with a small sum, she was at length adjudged to the man who would be satisfied wilh the least; and in this manner the money arising from ihe sale of the handsome served as a portion lo those who wer either of disagreeable looks, or that had any other imperfection." This custom prevailed about 500 years before Christ. MENTAL RESERVATION — Although the lower orders of the Irish are famous for a species of ready wit, mingling volatility with a rich vein of humour, they are no less maiked by a quaijjtness of expression and mental reservation, calculated to gain time, evade inquiry, or having lhat brought home to them which they wish to avoid: of this last complexion is Shelah's answer to a Countr Ma gistraie— 44 What's gone with your husband Shelah ?" 44 What's gone of him, your Honor Worship; faith and he's gone dead." 44 Aye, and what did he die of?" 44 Die of, your Honor died of a Tuesday." 44 I don't mean the day^ bu Ihe complaint ?" 44 Oh ! complaint, your Honor faith, and its himself did not get time to complain.' 44 Oh ! oh ! aye, he died suddenly ?" 44 Rather th; way your Worship." 44 Did he fall down in a fit ? ( No answer from Shelah.) 44 He fell down in a fit perhaps?" 44 A fit, your Honor's Worship! why, no, not exactly thai— he— he fell out of a window, or a door, I don't know what Ihey call it." 44 Aye aye, aud he broke his neck?" 44 No, not quite that,, your Worship." 44 What then?" 44 Ther was a bit of string, or cord, or that like, and— i throttled poor Mick." 44 And pray for what di he suffer?" 4t Suffer, your Worship ( weeping faith, only for embellishing ( embezzling) a trifle that he taught was his own; but his master said it was not, and so" they swore away his precious life, and that's all; for Mick's as innocent as the babe unborn." he 4tti0tiUftttfoit0 IttMSs'ottue. MUNGO PARK.— The manuscript of Mungo Park's Travels in Africa, we are assured by a gentleman of ihe highest respectability, says. a Duhi. ii Paper, in whom implicit confidence can be placed, has been purchased by a Frenchman at Senegal, from a black man, for thirty dollars. An Englishman offered two hundred dollars, which the Frenchman refused. The manuscript mentions his illness, and is continued down to within a day or two of his death. The Glasgow Courier, which copies this report, adds, 44 VVe think it extremely probable. The journal in question, brought down to such a late period of Mr. Park's journey and life, w ill determine ihe great problem of the course and termination of the Niger. Mr. Park, from h s great exertions, is best eutitled to claim that merit, and we hope lhat the sololion of that great Geo- graphical problem will be found to be his due, though he does not live lo enjoy the reward." RIOT ACT.— From the questions of one of Ihe urymen at Sunderland, relative to the reading the Riot Act, it is evident thai a very erroneous opinion ptevails on the subj « ct of riot. 1? nun be useful to f. tillc, t! s: il itl case i f an actual auij evident riot, there is 110 necessity for leading the Riot Act ai all. Illegal force may he put down bv legal force, and the military is as legal a description of force as Ihe civil The Riot Act gives extraordinary powers to disperse a niob after warning, even if that mob should not be riotous;! it gives no power to fire, unless Ihe mob resist makes, however, all who disobey the orders tiv disperse, guilty of felony, whether riotous or not. The right lo fire on a tumultuary mob has nothing, therefore, to do wilh any specific Act of Parliament, but is part of that natural right of self defence which Ihe laws of all conntriis saner ion; each case must be judged by its own cir- cumstances; but wherever riot and violence are proved to exist, there the law allows the employ, ment of ill means of subduing Ihe danger, w hether those means are employed by one single handed against another, by bodies of men ( civil or military) against other bodies illegally opposed lo them. An advertising money lender, named Lara, lias been remanded at Union hall Office, for obtaining some documents from a person, whom he pre- tended to assist with a loan when he had ascer- tained they were genuine— but neither money nor deeds were furthcoming, unless on the payment of certain alleged expenses, and Ihe owner must proceed by action A Gentlerhan Informed the Magistrate 011 Friday, that he had escaped a similar fraud, by reading the account iu the ewspapers. Last week, a party of drunken men cnriimilled the body of one of tlieir pot- companions, while lie was asleep iu Ihe chapel yard, near Cleckheatoh, to an open grave, and afier performing a mock burial ceremony over him, they began to shovel in he earth. Roused into life by this premature interment, be started from Ihe grave, and with difficulty made his escape— The Clergyman lias taken up the matter, and read the sols a lecture that Ihey will not soon forget. An inquest was held at Lydd, 011 Saturday last, on the body of a man named Carpenter, who was accidentally shot on Ihe night of Ihe lllli inst. by Lieutenant J. Millet!,- employed si Ihe coast- guard station near Dungeness, when a verdict was eturned of Wilful Murder. On fhe verdict being given, Ihe Coroner said, « Gentlemen, before we separate, and your verdict goes before the world, 1 lake this opportunity publicly lo mention my tolal dissent from the verdict you have just delivered. Not one liltle of evidence has been brought forward which could justify it." On Friday night, an extensive robbery was effected iu the premises) of Messrs. Christopher biueim and Co. distillers, Athlone. Au iiort safe, containing about £ 1,700 iu bank- notes, post bills, pension bills, and other securities, was carried ff 011 that night, by some persons as yet undis- ovf red. It is conjectured that the safe was put on board a boat 011 the Shannon, and removed from the neighbourhood of Athlone iu that mra. ner. Five or six persons have been taken into custody on suspicion of being concerned in it. A watchman, who had been stationed outside Ihe distillery, stated that on the night of the robbery he was attacked by several persons, some of whom' knocked liini down whilst others of the party entered the premises, it is supposed tiy '. he aid of picklocks. • Unfortunately the iron safe was not fast in the wall, as is usually the case. Of the property taken away, £< W 6s. was in bank notes, £ 1- 22 lis. in bank post bills, £ 7. iu pension bills, and the remainder in other securities The matter is at present undergoing strici imestigalion, and from the prompt exertions making In the magis- trates and the police, it is lo be hoped that " the perpetrators of so daring a robbfry cannot long escape detection— Freeman's Journal. There are now nearly five hundred bricklayers, carpenters, & c. employed iu the erection of new factories at Chard, which will, when completed, give constant employment" to 3,0( 11) persons. If the average earnings of these individuals should be no more than 8s. per week, it will give > 111 annual expenditure amongst the farmers and tradesmen of more than £ 6,000 per annum, besides all Ihe increased indirect expenditure which must follow. It is slated, that more than one of these manu- factories has been erected in anticipation of Ihe Ship Canal The probable saving to one of these manufactories, on the completion of lhat grand undertaking, in the price of the coals they consume to create steam power, will be more than £ 000 per annum.— Plymouth Paper. In the Vice chancellor's Court, lasl week, a question aroffe from the circumstance of certain affidavits to prove debts, being engrossed 011 un- stamped paper, having hi en rejected by the Bank- rupt Commissioners, upon Ihe ground thai the late Act of Parliament repealing Ihe stamp duties 011 law proceedings, did not extend lo stump duties 011 affidavits to be used before Commissioners of Bankrupt. The words of Ihe Act of Parliament expressly exempt " all affidavits made for the purpose of being filed, read, or used in any Court of Law or Equity of England." It was contended, that although the Commissioners of B. iukiuptK were by courtesy called a Court, slill they were not so by right. Tbe Vice Chancellor, however, decided lhat they do constitute a Court, although not a Court of Reco- d, and that Ihe affidavits should he received unstamped. On Thursday, as a child of the Rev. Mr VVatl. diilgton, of Wintei burn, was playing near tbe house, it fell into a well eight yards deep. A neighbouring woman hanging some clothes on the hedge in a field heard a cry, and told the parents of the circum- stance. Tbe child was found 111 the well floating iu the water. A rope was procured by ihe father, by which he descended in time to save his off. spring. The preservation of this child was remark- able, as the time it had been in Ihe water was litila shoit ,. f ihirty minutes. The house- warming dinner of the ex Champion Spring ( Winter), who has jus: retired from the pugilist c ring, and assumed the title of landlord of Ihe Bimthall, iu this city, took place at hi » house, 011 Tuesday last, aud was attended by up- wards of sixty of his friends. Several of Spring's old backers came from London, aud some from Worcester, Cheltenham, and Gloucester; but the greater part of the company were his own towns- men. Alter the cloth had been removed, and Ihe usual loyal toasts given, Spring's health was drank with three times three. Spring, in returning thanks, declared il to be tlie happiest moment of his life, in which he saw so many friends come from far anil near to support him 111 his new vocation, and amongst tbe rest his old father of the prize ring, Tom Cribb. Tom Cribb's health was then drank with great applause. The uld champion returned thanks for the honour done hin SAMUEL WESLEY.— s. Wesley, grandfather of the celebrated John Wesley, being strongly im. portuned by the friends of James the Second, to support Ihe measures of the court in favour of P. tpery, wilh promises of preferment, absolutely refused to read even the King's declaiation; aud though surrounded with courtiers, soldiers, aud informers, be preached a bold aud pointed dis- course against it from these words: " If it be so, our God, whom we serve, is able to deliver us from Ibe burning fierv furnace, anil he will deliver us oui of Ihy hand, O King, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up." and said il made his heart leap for joy, to see his son so ably supported. The health of " Brown, and may success attend him if he enters the prize- ring again," was next given. Brown, in returning 1 hanks, stated that he had no wish lo fight, but if Ward, or any other man in England, who called himself champion, should lack a customer, he should be found ready to meet him for £ 500 or £ 1000.— Hereford Independent.
