It has been remarked, and very properly, that the late fight he! ween the lion Nero and ibe dog ® could aft'oid no criterion as to ascertaining tbe • natural ferocity of the noble animal— because be was evidently deprived of his native energies by being domesticated ; and the result of the second recent fight with the lion Wallace, which latter animal had not beeu deprived of his natural fero- city, confirms this opinion, and furnishes ground for believing that twenty dogs, even of the first breed, would be no match for the king of beasts when in his native forests. Lion Fight in the Tower. The following account of the fight between a lion aud dogs, at the Tower of London^ which tfooft place in 16U3- 4, before King James, his Queen, sou, and courtiers, has been lately published in the third number of Mr. Nichols's curious and highly- entertaining Progresses, & c. of that' Monarch :— " The King's Majesty lodging in ihe Tower of London, on the lath of March, ( after fie bad surveyed all the offices, storehouses, aud tbe Mint, where both the King and Queene coynd inonev, and gave IO • livers persons there present,) being told of the lions, he asked of their being, and how they came thither, for thai in Scotland there were bred no'such' fierce beast,* Whereunto was answered that no mention is made in any record of lions breeding- here, ueverthelesse Abraham Ortelius and other forraine writers do affirme that there are in England © ' beasts of as greaCcourage as the lion, namely, fhe mastiffe dog; whereupon the King causefh Edward AUeyn, T late servant to the Lord Admtrall. now swom ilie Prince's man, and master of ihe Beare- Garden, to fetch secret I y three of he fellesi dogs in Ihe garden ; which, being done, the King, Queene, and Prince Henry, with four or five Lords, went to the lion's towre, and caused the lustiest lion to he- separated from his mate, and then put into the lion's- den one dog alone, who presently fl< w lo the face of the lion — but the lion suddenly shooke him ofi'e. and graspt him fast by the neck, drawing the dog up' siaiies and down staires! The King new perceiving the lion greatly to ex-/ ceed the dog in strength, but nothing in uobte heart and courage, caused another dog to he pin inlo ihe ' lenne, who proved as hot and lustv as his fellow, and tooke the lion bv the face, but ( he lion began to de- de' with hi in as with the former. Whereupon the King commanded Ihe third dog to he put in before the second dog was spoiled, which third dog, more tierce, and fell than eylher of the former, and in despite eyther of claws or strength, tooke the lion by the lip,, but the lion so tore the dog by the eyes, head, aud face, that he lost his hold, and then the. I ion tooke the dog's uecke in his mouth, drawing hiui up • ord down as he did ihe former, but being wearied could not bite so deadly as'at first Now whiles! lite fast'( log was ' hus hand to hand with the lion in rhe upper roonie, the other two dogs were lighting together in the lower roome, whereupon the King caused the lion to be driven down, thinking the lion would have parted them, but when he saw he must needs come bv them, he leaped cleatie over them both, contrary to the King's expectation, the lion fled into an inward den, and would not bv any mean* endure, the presence of the dogs; albeit the last dog pursued eagerly, hut could not ftnde the wav to the lion Yon shall - understand, the two last dogs, " Idlest the lion held them both under his pawes, d'd bite the lion by tWe belly, whereat the lion roared so extremely, that the earth shooke vvitbab, nnd the next. Ij- m vampJ'uud- roared as if he would have made iescue. 44 The lion hath uot any peculiar or proper Jiiud of fight, as hath the dog, beaie, or . hull, bill onl\ a ravenous kind of surprising for prey. Th^ » t wo first dogs dyed, within a few da yes, but the last dog- was recovered of all his hurts, and ihe young Prince commanded his servant, E. Alleyn, to bring ilie. dog to him to St. James s, where ibe Prince charged the said Alleyn to keepe him, and make much of him, saying, he thai had fought will} the King of Beasts, should never after fight with any iuferioi erea'nre. * It appears that, the King, when in Scotland, had known Shrewsbury Shiffnal - Ludlow - - Bridgnorth Worcester ~ Macclesfield Mr. Thomas Howell ; Mr. Gilbert Brown ; Mr E Jon s, So'ieitor; M-.

The deer instantly fled, and hounded ROTInd the circular space, pursued by ihe lion ; but the quick and sudden turnings of the former eont'u nnattv balked the efforts of its pursuer. Alter Ihig ineffectual chase tiad continued for several minutes, a door was opened, ihtonyh which the deer escaped ; aud pieueutiy five or six of the large and li rcc Hungarian mastiffs were sent in.

When \ . y • cached tbe lion the irohle animal stopped, and d. lib. raiely turned towards them The dogs in. stantly retreated a few steps, increasing their voci- ferations., and- the I ion slowly resumed his piogress towards his den. The dogs again approached ; the lion turned his head; his adversaries halted; and this continued until, on his Hearing his den, the dogs separated, and approached him on different sides. The lion then turned quickly round, lik « - one whose dignified pal euce could brook the harassment of insolence no longer. The dogs fled far, as if instinct- ively sensible or ihe power of wrath they had at length provoked. Oue unfortunate dog, however, which find approached too ne;*- lo effect his escape, was suddenly seized wilh the paw of the lion ; aud the piercing yells which he sent forth quickly caused his comrades to recede to the door of tiie entrance at tbe opposite side <. f the area, where they stood iu a row, barking and yelling in concert with their miserable associate. The crowd in the Amphitheatre were now in- spired wilh the liveliest interest, toobseive how the lion would deal with his prey; and, for nearly t » quart' r of an hour, the most perfect silence pre- vailed ; not a sound was uttered, and every eye was fixed upon the victor aud the vanquished. After arresting the st niggling and yelling prisoner for a short time, the lion couched upon him with his fore paws and mouth. The struggles of ihe sufferer grew feebler and feebler, until at . length he became perfectly motionless. We all concluded him lo be dead In this composed posture of • xeou'ive jus- tice the ' ion remained for at least ten minutes, when be majestically rose, and with w slow step entered his den, and disappeared.

He, . it is to be remembered, in contending for the extirpation of the Constitution- alist"., and the effacing of every trace of legal Government in Spain, was but following tip the work in which the Courts of France and Spain at first engaged hiin ; and only urging forward the consummation of bigotry and gloom, which was beld out to the priests and their followers as 44 the exceeding great reward'* ot their exploits iu the cause of tv ranny. If we may trust the accounts from Spain, which accompany the announcement of Bessieres' death, the spirit which actuated that unlucky leader has become nearly universal among nil those thioughout Spain who assisted iu the King's restoration. Fifty thousand men are said to be prepared to take the field in the same cause in Old Castile ; and Biscay, Gallieia, and> Arragon are represented as equally ripe for insurrection. The Paris Journals of the 3d, which arrived last night, contain some particulars of the movements *> f Bessieres before his capture and execution. It appears that when he informed his troops at Torrija of his real design, some of the regulars abandoned him, aud returned to Alcala, where they rejoined their regiments. He then found himself too weak to venture on the public road, and took cross ways, through which he successively reached Horos, Ynjuegue, and Brihuega, levying l!, H>, 0^ 0 reals in Contribution's, and obtaining accession of Royalist volunteers at each place, which raised his whole force to 4W> men, with whom he bent his course towards Lo ver Arragon. The details of his cap- ture are not yet given, so that it is not known whether he was able to make a struggle with his pursuers, or whether he surrendered without a blow But from the delay of three days which occurred be- tween his seizure and his death, one of the French Papers infers that something like a capitulation was concluded with a right of reference to the King. We also learn by advices of the 22d nit. from Madrid, that the celebrated Empecinado, the author of the Guerilla System which did so much injury to Bonaparte's armies, was lately shot at K' » a, in Old Castile, within a few leagues of Val hid olid. But what is not less important than these executions, is the reported arrest of a Monk of the Convent of Jesus, who was treasurer to the party by whom Bessieres was put, forward sum of 200,0001*. in gold reals is said to have been found iu his possession u for current expenses, together with documents which prove that the Chapters of all the Metropolitan Ch inches in Spain and a number of rich convents of the Orders of Chartreux, St. Bernard, St. Jerome, St. Angus tine, and St. Basil, bad jointly raised a fund of 14,001), 000 reals, to defray the charges of the plan of which the execution had been entrusted to Be6 gieres. Previously to the capture of Bessicres, Ferdinand issued two new Decrees. The first declared that chief a traitor, and deprived him and all those who should follow him of all their titles, rank, honours and decorations. The other directed that certai Freemasons who had been found assembled in one of their lodges at Grenada, should be put to death within three days, conformably to a former Decree against Secret Societies, promulgated on the 1st of August, 1824. The Journal des Debafs of Wednesday con- tains an article from lyeghora of the d « ( e cf the We learn that a Subfccr'rptkm was yesterday set on foot for having a Picture painted of Rear- Admiral Sir E. W C. R. Owen, K C.

Visiting Clergyman lhi » week at the Infirmary, ihe Reverend Edward John VVingfield :— House Visitors, G. F. D Evans and D. Crawford, Esqrs. On Tuesday last, the Trustees of the Kb i final Grammar School held a meeting to eleel a Head Master, upon the resignation of the Rev J Compson; when the Rev John Wood, M A Chaplain to the ' Right Honourable William Earl of Mansfield, was unanimously elected. The Rev. Edward Bowlby, A B. late of Acton Scott, in this county, was admitted into the Holyi Order of Priests, on the 28th of lagt mouth, by the Lord Bishop of Durham. Edw. Evans, a shoemaker, residing in Frank well, was yesteiday brought before the Magistrates of this town, under the following. circumstanccs :— It appeared that he had been married but a few months, and lhat, last week, he heat and ill treated his wife in Much a manner that she sought refuge under the roof of her father, a working man, residing in the Canal Buildings, Castle Foregale.— On Monday night last, at midnight, tvvaos wenl, to the house of bis father in law, and haviug aroused the family, be wanted admittance, but was refused: he then threatened to murder his wife and his father- in law, broke, the windows of the house, strd disturbed the whole neighbourhood— finishing this act of his performance by throwing himself into the Canal, having previously threatened to drown himself: here he pretended to struggle with the water, and two young men jumped in and brought him out to all appearance a corpse! he was taken into his father- in- law's, put in blankets, & c. and the Surgeon was sent for ; but just as the Surgeon arrived with his apparatus, and was announced, wp jumped the drowned man, who proceeded to curse and strike all within his reach. He rushed out of the house, and again threw himself into the Canal, where be continued splashing the water at the persons who approached him : he was, however, specd. Hy driven from his lair, and, half drowned a* he was, took to his heel » , but was finally captured, and given in charge to Fallow, tbe constable.— The Magistrates directed him to find sureties for his future good behaviour.

SHREWSBURY RACES.— The Entry, & c for our approaching Races will lie found in the third page. NEWS !— The London P& ckef, of Monday last, says, 44 We understand that Shrewsbury is likely to be warmly contested' at the approaching elec- tion."— Now this may be very true ; but assuredly il is the first we have heard of such a probability. The recent Bow- Meeting at Woodhouse, fhe seat of William Owen, Esq. was graced by the piesence of a most numerous attendance of the rank and fashimf of this and the adjoining counties Colonel Wall, of Hallow Park, who is about to leave ihtt part of the country, lias presented the Mayor and Corporation of Worcester with a brass long French six- poundcr, and nine suits of black On Tuesday, the 30; h of August, a Fete was given at OAKLEY PARK, to celebrate the Birth of a Son and Heir. 7' he House was previously filled with Nobility and Gentry ; amongst whom were the Duke au'd' Omhess of Northumberland ( who had been waiting fur some davin the neighbour- hood expressly for the purpose of paying- their respects to the Friends of the Family], Earl and Countess of Powis, Viscount and Lady Lucy ( live, and Sir Watkiu and Lady Harriet Williams- Wynn, who, with a number of other distinguished parson- ages, had residence in the hospitable mansion j and none contributed more to its hilarity than Mr Cornewall. A Tent was erected of 4o feet each side, and that open to a Conservatory ( 17 feet long by 20 wide$ forming one immense Room of 6ti feet, with Tables disposed a* per Sketch, which seated the whole of the Company, about 300 in number The Dinner, previous to the Ball Supper, was ex- tremely splendid, and almost all suitable living- articles in the neighbourhood bad been put in ie- quisition to furnish viands. The markets ot Ludlow^ Leominster, and Knighton, had also for some time been stripped of their poultry, eggs, butter, arid cream \ and the moors of their grouse and black cocks. All these bountiful preparations we.; e. un. der the management of Mr. Gunter, who, assisted by six men cooks and confectioners, served up tbe whole in a style that gave general satisfaction, both as far as regarded the excellence and perfection of the cookery, as well as the richness and taste of its decoration. Dancing commenced at ti| lf past nine o'clock in the Drawing Room, which \ v\ xs bril- liantly lighted up,: and decorated with wreaths of oak leaves and artificial flowers; this room opened into the Library, Billiard Room, JMnseum, and Conservatory, to the Supper Room. The Tent was lighted in the Centre by a twelve- burner senuuibra lamp,. and the Conservatory was brilliantly illumin- ated by chandeliers and illumination lamps in fes- toons, between iron columns, the whole length of the House, enriched with wreaths of oak leaves and a profusion of artificial flowers aud choice exotic plants ; the Staircase Hall was finely lighted by three rich Carved bronze candelabras and sen- umbra lamps,' mi rich carved pedestals ; the Geo metrical Stairs had a very fine effect; and the general opinion of the Company was, that, in ele- gance, execution, and efficiency,. it surpassed every thing they had seen The (,' lee Hill Marble Co. I. uinns supporting the Gallery of the Stairlase were much admired, as well as the rich carved Frieze taken from the Marbles deposited iu the British Museum The la. hps and chandeliers were supplied by Mr Collins, of London, with a person to manage them, who attended the Duke of Northumberland lately to Paris,— and,.' much to his credit, o6t a lamp failed during the whole of either evening Tnc walls ofthe Tent were, of fine pink calico, with fine white calico fluted pilasters ; the roof was v. bite in folds, and a cable forming two swags, which gave a lightness and delicacy ' hat both surprised and delighted j and the general impression of the Coin pany was, that they were realising the^ stories in the Arabian Night Tales. The markets of Liver- pool supplied a profusion of_. fitie. pines, melons, grapes, & c. in addition to the supplies from the different branches of the Family, as well as other contributing friends ; and the most choice wines nnd Roman iced punch flowed in the greatest pro- fusion. The ornaments on the table at the top of the room were all of or- molu in the best style, forming reticulated basket- work, and supporting rich cut glass cups containing sweetmeats, &. c. Those who tripped it on the fantastic toe were de- lighted with the sublime Band of Mr. Paine, who came from London expressly for the occasion. The Ball was opened by tile Duke of Northumberland and Lady Harriet Clive, whose amiability aud con- descension gave universal satisfaction. We need only add that the toijt ensemble was gratifying beyond description ; hut we must not omit to; state, that the most respectable Band of the Shropshire Militia contributed to the general pleasure, by taking an alternate part under a Tent in the Flower Garden, and their military music did them infinite credit*. The dancing of quadrilles and country dances was kept up with great spirit until . six o'clock in tbe morning, and all regretted the night was too short. OIL Thursday, a grand Ball aud Supper was given to the Oakley Park Tenantry, Tradesmen, and the respectable Tenants of the surrounding Gentry, which was similar in all respects t. o that of the preceding night, with only this difference, that the Ludlow Band supplied the place of tbe I. ondon Baud, and, very much to their credit, gave equal satisfaction If spirit, life, and gaiety, were ever displayed, it was here; and the Coinpativ did not separate until seven o'clock in the lunrutng. Mr. Clive and Miss Tench opened tbe Rai'l ; and Mr. Cornew- all and Miss dive followed. Tlie num- ber of happy personages exceeded that of the former night.

Tiie season of tiie vein- mav remind tbe rural economist of tbe utility of planting Forest Trees. This is a means of miproriug tbe value of landed property, which has not, I am persuaded, been sufficiently appreciated. For though as much lias been dune iu some districts of ' the Principality within the last twenty years as perhaps in an'v county in England, still a great deal more might have been done to very grcai advantage. We are tuili uf a family being more noble than rich, wilh a gie.-. t number of younger children, who cannot expect much of what is necessary to the support of a splendid station in life,; and yet, if all the waste lan'ts of tbe present liberal possessor bad been plained when be first came of age, and be were to live to be 70 years old, he might have had al his disposal sever, it hundred thousand pounds sterling to support their exalted rank; have repaid all the expenses of planting, and have left the family estates greatly improved iu value. We have been told of a gentleman of very slender fortune who secured to each of his children a property, by planting ten acres of land, at the birth of each. Besides tbe advantage to the proprietor, extensive plantations upon hill's, and wasie lauds, greatly improved the climate bv the shelter thus obtained, aud ornamented - the country bv covering barren rocks aud bleak heaths with the verdure of woods. In addition to the care ol' good planting and good fencing to preserve them, all tbe trees should be annually pruned and thinned, keeping the top* spiral, and light. If neglected, great numbers of young trees will be injured a d even spoiled for good sale- able Timber, by t. eavy collateral branches; these should be taken off chwe to the parent stem or trunk, not all at once, so as to injure tbe appear- ance of tbe tree, but tbe largest, beginning at ' he top, so as to impiove the upright direction of it, give vigour to tbe leader, and make a larger pro- portion of straight timber. It is iu the family records of a nobleman in a neighbouring county, who is more remarkable for preserving iiis old timber than for planting, that about a hundred years ago seven acres of good corn land were planted with acorns, and that ihe sale of tbe underwood paid as much as the rent of any seven acres in tiie district, and that when c! lt down, tbe timber sold tor ten thousand pounds. It would be too much to recommend planting upon y- ood land. • I..,. fi. .,!.... i.- i — j- i. , r Shrewsbury and Mhisler/ et/ Road. r| nf] E Public ate lierehv informed, that I the Road hv RADDLF.

The intelligence of the fall of about 4d. per l!> in that article, had been received at New. York from Liverpool. The news produced great alarm among the holders of cotton in that port, as well as among those who had sent the article lo the English market. This alarm will no doubt be increased, when they learn lhat most of the bills drawn on England for cotton have been returned protested. It ls supposed the last packet has carried back such bills tu the amount of nearly a. million sterling. The American Papers had be- gun to triumph in the idea that Ihe losses bv speculation iu cotton would fall to the amount of 3 millions on the English merchants.

Christian, master, foundered. The abuve vessel sailed from Warren point on the 12th, fur Ch.- sier, with a cargo of cattle. During tbe gale on Friday night her sails were split, when she, of course, was leit IO tie buueited by the baud of that dreadful storm, and on Safurday night, with its force, driven oil the West Hovle Bank, near Liverpool While the vessel was dashing lo pieces al this awful ga'e of death, tbe crew, three in num- ber, launched uut the boat, which was immediately taken possession of bv the passengers, seven in number ; when, melancholy to relate, she upset aud engulphed tbe whole iu the fathomless deep, where tbe tide, we are told, runs at the rate of ten knots an hour ( many uf whom, we b.- lieve, have left families to lament their untimely fate). At this perilous moment, when tbe vessel was separating with every coming wave, the crew, wilh great exertions, regained their boat, and in it were tusseil to and fro over the waves- for seven hours. The Reader may fancy what must be the feelings of those men, when every coming roaring- wave seemed to be the awful messenger to demand their presence at the bar of God. However, their sand of life had longer time to run ; and after encounter- ing ail the perils of a dark and stormy night, ou a very dangefous sea, tbe v gained the coast of Wales, where a clergyman of the Established Church, with the kind spirit of his great Master, reached out the band uf charity and benevolence to tbe exhausted mariners.

The revival of tbe rumours of an early dissolu- tion of Parliament has caused a fresh stiv in the electioneering world, and tbe u note of prepara- tion" for its coming, manifest iu most parts ofthe kingdom, denote a pretty general belief amongst both representative and constituent that the day of" account between them is close at hand. As relates to this county, we do not Rear that there is any likelihood of the present members being disturbed in their seats ; we believe it is the intention of both to ask again the suffrages of the freeholders, and it is understood they will receive them without op- position.

EVEMHANDEO JUSTICE.— England, which Europe thought to punish by becoming protectress of the liberties of North America, has taken a terrible revenge; she is giving iu her turn the signal of liberty to South America, to neutralize the despotism of Old Europe. France allied her- self wilh Washington, to paralyze England— Eng- EycssE.— Within these few months there has been a complete revision ot the excise laws, aud the conduct of the officers and traders has been; Scrutinised by three English general' supervisors but, to the honour of the Scottish officers, they have been found correct in their duty. . This is a curious contrast to the . state, tn which the excise was found last year in. Ireland* where, . if an excise officer was stationed m one place for a few yearss he grew as rich as a nabob, and, if be were ordered to change his station, be preferred throwing up his situation and living on the, propt- i ty he had amassed. Tbe General Board of Excise" Jti London' have also ordered a proportion of Scottish general supervisors to examine the state of the English ex- cise department, and they are at present engaged, for the first time, on this duty The officers of excise are at present creating a stir in Glasgow, by making all the trades, tinder their cognizance^ paint oil their sign boards the eXciseable articles they deal in, headed " Licenced to retail " The act coitipiehends all spirit dealers ; retailers of lea, tobacco, snuff, candles* & c.; and common hi ewers,' distillers, and others^ who must have their names and businesses, in legible characters, in front of their premises, under a penalty of £ 20, in case of failure. A great many sign boards are at prcsenS repainting, in consequence of this regulation.

NOBLE ACT OF BENEVOLENCE — The follow- ing munificent sacrifice ai tiie shrine of humanity is thus recorded in a recent . Ve.* c Ycrh papf- r. " A paragraph has lately gone the round; of tli ® papers, announcing that a gentleman of Virgini,*, had emaucip. ited up'Cards ot eii> ht,,' s/ ares9 aud chartered a vessel to send them, at h> sown expense^ to Hayti; but - without giving the name of the author of so distinguished a i act. We think it due to justice. to supply this deficieucy, and to add ' h6 following facts : - The gent email who iias thus dis- tinguished himself is Mr. David Mi. pre, of Charles City conutv, living near Naudv Point, on James river. Captain Rus> el informs us, that there were put. on b"- rd the Hannah and l-.' izat. e- h, eighty- seven coloured people of different ages, fr^ m three months to forty years, b jing •./// ihe slaves which Mr. M owned, except two old men',, who n he had likewise manumitted, but who being past service he retains and siippoits them The value of these negroes, at the prices now going, might he esti- mated at about twenty- six thousand dollars f and Mr. Minge expended previous to their embarkation about 1200 do'lars in purchasing pi mghs, hoes^ iron, and othi r articles of husbandry for\ tl> em, hesi es providing them witli several suits of ciorhcs to each, provisions, grocer es, corking- u'ensilsj and every thing which he supposed they might re- quire for their comfoi't during the passage, and for their use after their arrival out He also paid iCiv> 0 dollars for the charter of t'ie vessel. < k But Mr. Minge's muniiicen e tb> es not end here* On the hank of the river, as thev were about to go on board, he had a peek of dollars brought do \ n, and calling them ail around him, und< a tree, dis- tributed the hoard among them in siu'ti sums and under such regulations that each individual did, or would receive seven dollars. Bv this provision Mr* M. calculated that h s emigrants would be enabled to commence the cultivation of the soil iuiniediately after their arrival, without being dependant on President Boyer for any favour whatever, unless the permission to improve the government lauds might be so considered. Mr. Minge assigned no other motive for having freed his slaves, and for his subsequent acts of generosity towards them, than that he conceived it would be doing a service to his country to send them out of it; that they had all been good servants, but that he was rich enough without them."— Norfolk Herald.

These a Yionnted to s£ 26,000, so that the entire cost of t lis single packet ( tbe largest, however, if we mistake not, yet projected in the king- dom,) will be nothing short of ^ 34,000.

On the 16th of January, 1819, Lord Cochrane left the port of Valparaiso, on board the O'Higsms, Captain Forsler, with the San Mart u, Captain VVilkinso i, & . The Chacab ico, Capta n Carter, followed} but a mutiny taking place on board, he entered Coquimbo, where the principal mutineers weie landed, sentenced by a drum- head court- marl ial, and shot In February, 1821, a quarrel broke out be ween his Lords up and , a great many of his officers, on ground* ap- parently very trivial. The name of the Es- meralda having been changed to the Va! d: viaf five of her officers ( ail Englishmen) remon- strated against it, whereupon Lord Cochrane brought them to a court martial, which sen- tenced them all to be dismissed from the ship, and two of them troiu the service, file con- sequence was, that Captain Guise, under whoso patronage those officers had come out to South America, refused to act auy longer un ! er hi* Lordship.

A Welsh fair or a Welsh wedding must prove highly entertaining to strangers, and 1 strongly rec . mmend fo travellers not to quit fh<* Principality without seeing them.

Next followed ihe cart, with nets, spears, & c. &,<*, and an old ballad- singer appeared in the rear, who sung the praises of the high bred hounds and their worthy master.

AP SHKNKIN. On the Old School of Dress. [ FROM THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.] T am a very Cockletup in antiquarian enthusiasm ;• and though perhaps not quite egregious enough to be duped with a brass fat iliing for a copper Oflio, or a cracked pi:> km for a Roman vase, S can well con- , ceive'the pleasure of. possessing a relique of the 41 antique world,-" and can enter into the spirit of musty research, with the keenness of an adept, and the gusto of a connoisseur. There is a poetical cha- racter about the pursuit too ethereal for the gross conceptions of the vulgar, who, ( u this case at least, even deny that The value of a thing Is so much money as ' twill bring; and are barbarous enough to appreciate its excel- lence by its utility. The Elgin statues appear to their ( initiated eyes mere mutilated blocks of marble ; and the M'edicean Venus, deprived of her head, would, in their bourgeois estimation, deserve no bet- ter fate than to he broken in pieces, to mend old roads, or fill up cart ruts. Procul eat pro fan iHence, re unimaginative! who Would have the principles of taste laid down to your obtuse comprehensions with Ihe square and rule. Ye Cannot sympathise with the ex a'red fancies of the antiquarian Ye cannot dtve into the reflections that crowd upon his soul, while contemplating some precious memento of the gone- hv world, saved from the devouring grasp of Time. By pour unenlightened visions, a Roman casque would he regarded with no more veneration than a brass sk. ijiet ; the Grecian spear you would taistake for a spit, and their shield for a pot- lid. 1 have a profound respect for the whole tribe of antiquaries,— from the gatherer of petrified fossils, to the dabbler in coins, and the collector of broken nosed deities. Nay, F am even content to admire a reliquary, enriched from more modern sources; and a piece of Queen Elizabeth's ruff, one of Oliver Cromwell's gloves, or a Queen Anne's farthing, are sure to receive from me their due share of homage. 1 derived much pleasure, some years ago, from observing, in the vestry- room of St. Helen's Church, an old helmet, which was indubitably proved to have belonged to ihe crookhacked Richard, and which the churchwardens, in their zeal to preserve from the further ravages of time, had caused to be covered with a goodly Coat of black var/ iish. I confess, this expedient for defrauding old Fdax Reruni had iu my eyes somewhat the appearance of profanation, and seemed little less sacrilegious than the white- washing of Shakspeare's monument. However,** let that pass!" Better daub it with paint, thought I, than convert it into a porringer, or throw it into the dust hole, to either of yvhich ignoble destinies its outward seeming would appear to have entitled it. The bibliomaniacs, too, come in for a long share of my regard. 1 love an uu que lihraiy, composed of few books, and each a rarity. There is something iso mechanical in drudging through ponderous vn- | lnine's with slavish'application, for no other pu- p- se ' ban to gather knowledge ( supeiffuotis acquisition!) * ****** But of all mv antiquarian associations, not one clings to me with such obstinate pertinacity as an affection for the old style of dress: 1 mean, from the reigii of Anne to the early part of Geoige the Third. Before that perioo, the garb of our ancestors assumes a classical aspect from its antiquity, and is hallowed in our memoiies with the costume of the Greeks aud Romans. But the sera I allude to is just sufficiently distant to acquire a romantic interest ; the absurdities of dress are consecrated fry the touch of time, ami the ridiculous merges info the poetical. Even the family picture of the Flauiborong'h family might now prove an interesting group, and TboinhiU's portraits, spite of their flashy eoioiniug, are beco ing valuable for their delineation of fhe apparel of art age which , no longer exists in the memory of the living. Old dresses associate themselves in our minds with old deeds and old times'; they spirit up nil the substan- tialities of the glorious past, and read us a lesson on our degeneracy, I love to gaze on those ant que view's of St. James's Park and" Kensington Gardens, ; where 1 3 1 1 2 2 3 dr 4 dr KNIGHTON RACKS, 1825— first day, August 24th, tile Members' Plate of £ 50, given by the Members for the county and borough of Radnor.

Yes, I regret the extinction of a period,- when Fashion was indeed a goddess, at whose altar af. were worship- pers. Comfort, convenience.. and a sordid spirit, have diminished the glories of her shrine No rich silks and satins, no embroidered velvets and gold lace, now glitter in her temple. She is no more the party coloured d ity, fluttering in feathers aud finery, and adorned with all the skiil of the jeweller, the goldsmith, the embroiderer, and the weaver; bill a tawdry personage, thinly and meanly clad, aud the mere Abigail of tier former self. Let us take \ retrospect of the old dress, and consider its compo- nent parts, seriatim. First, then, of The Cocked Hat, that noble appendage to the human face divine." " 1 never admired a round hat," says Geffery Gambado,—" in truth, a mo> t puerile ornament for the head of a sober man. In windy Weather you are blinded with it, in ra. inv, von nre drowned ; whereas a cocked hat will retain the water, and keep your bead cool, having much the same effect upon it, that a pan of water has npun a flower- pit1" Besides ils conveniences, it is un rivalled in gracefulness. What a martial air have the portraits of General Elliot and the Marquis of Granbv, where the artist has drawn them ( and I have seen them thus, though somewhat rare) with these noble coverings to the pericranium! It was a sneaking invention, to shrink up the goodly propor- tion of a beaver, with its gold- laced rim aud spark- ling loop and button, to the circular apology for a hat, with Ms unpretending binding and band, and diminutive buckle, that now covers tne weak beads of our degenerate race. The Goths, ami Vandals of fashion have extirpated the triangular ckapeau almost from oUr memories ; and so great appears the modern abhorrence of every hat bill a round one, 1 h•• 1 even the opera hat is now every where expl > ded, save at the orchestra of Vauxhal! Gardens. I hope no silly predilection, on the part of the spirited proprietors, for modern usages, will abolish these sole- remaining records of good laste, or sacrilegiously i' in > ve the time embrowned paintings of Hogarth, which adorn Ihe supper boxes; an innovation, which rumour reports to be in contemplation The too, is defunct; that convenient auxi- liary to the character of the human countenance j and a man is now utterly'dependant for extrinsic reputation on the natural and undisguised linea ments of his physiognomy. All adventitious aids have forsaken him, in the, universal levity of modern fashion. Wit, gaiety, aud gallantry ; sobriety, gravity, and wisdom, can no more be imparted by the mechanical magic of tortured hair; and the pericranium, " shorn of ils beams," exhibits the mere phantom of its past existence,— a plain, unso- phisticated, unadorned mal'er- of- fact Perruquiers exist no longer. The hair dressers' ari, once a grave mystery, that required the grasp 6i a couipre heusive mind, is fritiered awav into a few rapid fi lurishings of the comb, and brief clippings of the scissors; the curling tongs, heretofore the symbols of a refined and intricate art, rust iu ignoble de suetude} and powder puffs, and pomatum, stripped of all iheir glories, are become mere dead letters in the frizenr's vocabulary. 44 Ah! sir," said a little old tonsor, to whose operative hand I submitted mv caput a few years since, and with whom [ was sympathising on the abolition of the queues, toupees, and pigtails, 44 them were glorious times as you speak of. Why, I've had a gentleman's head under Hiv, fiigers for hours together;" aud then he pro- ceeded to describe, with the garrulity of the barber of Bagdad, how he erected stores of curls reuii : the tower of Babel of the good man's noddle. 44 There was some comfort in those days, and folks Uad their heads dressed like Christians. They took a pride iu ' em, sir. Many'* the time a gentleman would sit up all night in his arm- chair, because he would'nt disturb his curls, seeing he was engaged to a dinner- party next day ; and inauy's the pound of good powder I have worked into one head at a sitting. Ah! that confounded powder- tax ! It has been the ruin of us."

Those were times indeed, when a bandage for the throat and the decorations - for the wrists cost more money ' ban modern penuriousness will expend on a whole suit. The Coat, the prince of garments, was then in reality a coat ; not yielding; in importance even to the Roman toga. Body o'me! when I cast my indignant eyes ou the scanty jackets of our modern b: aux, and compare them with the flowing skirts and ample sleeves of our forefathers, I am confounded with shame. Where are the massy buttons, larger than crown pieces; the embroidered button- hides, the silk linings, the broad gold lace ? Where the richly decorated velvet, the striped silk, the ma- roons, the purples, ihe scarlets, the Pompadours, that delighted the eye with their luxuriant splendour, and commanded a respect never paid to the wearer alone? Alas! for ever faded from the view; — except ( welcome, yet mournful thought!) when they glare upon us iu degraded majesty from\ the mercenary doors of the obl- c'othesflieu of Monmouth, street or Russell- court. There, like a captive monarch, a shay vesiige of fhe old dress may occa- sionally be seen ; serving at least to remind us that 44 such things weie, and were most dear to ns." The eye, indeed, is sometimes refreshed with a vestige of the olden time, in the revival of a musty comedy ; and the costume of old age, as represented on the stage, remains a faithful mirror of past days. These are classical indications of a time- hallowed era, which yet maintain their ground, in despite of modern innovation; but the eye is no Ipngei delighted w ith life s ght of a stray bachelor of eighty adhering with laudable pertinacity to the fashions of his youth, w ith f ill 44 of foMial cm," shaming the flimsy occupants of a woild in which he is doomed: lo linger; a phantom like this has long since become a 44 rara avis in terris, nigroque Simiitima Cj/ gno. 7' Waistcoats were articb s of supreme luxury and taste. Here the skill of the weaver, the embroiderer, and fhe tailor, were tasked to the uttermost. Cloth, satin, velvet, richly figured silk, aud shining gold lace, were all in requisition. Wais'coats were truly waistcoats iu those days ; not a scan y three quaiters of a ya'rd of striped or spotted cobweb ; but a sub- siau'ial waistcoat. piece, fashioned to the shape, and which defied cabbaging. Good comely pockets, too, of capacious depth and amplitude, wheie a man might rummage his hands among his coins with comfort, aud jingle his conseque ve in live ears of poorer folk, to' the full conviction of their own insignificance. The V ockirigf of those days deserved the name of hose. They shrunk not, as iu our time, from ohser vation, beneath the ignoine concealnn nt of Welling ton boots and Petersham trowsers No ; they shone gniiv forth in glittering glory, with einbioidered clocks for gallants, or comfoitab y rolled over tiie knees for yntir ancient gentry ; such as aldermen, sheriffs, burghers, mid justices of the peace. The square toed s" hoei% with capacious buckles sparkling with all the magnificence of paste, com- pleted the pedestal of man, aud formed a worthy base for the image of the gods. Shoe- strings ( ignoble make- shifts \) degraded not the feet of die poorest. citizen. Chimney sweeps aud tinkers,— nay, the very mendicants, would have shuddered at the thought.

The wisest thing, probably, that an agricultural reporter can do,- is to confine himself to the humble • ask of recording tacts, rather than indulge in speculations aud predictions— to sfick to the past or present, and leave the future to develope itself, It » s a difficult matter, however, to adhere to this prudent resolve iu giving an account of the past month. It has been the period of harvest; and we know tjiat our readers, both producers and con- sumers, will expect from us a statement, not only of its progress, of the general quality of the grain, and the condition in which it has been housed, which are now become in a great measure matters offfact, hut also an account of ils probable produce, hich still remains in a great measure matter of conjecture. The first object of the farmer's and the country's anxiety, Wheat harvest, is concluded iu the southern part of the kingdom, and probably with few exceptions in the northern districts. Its cpVhmeucemeut aud progrtss to about mid- way, were distinguished by as fine a season for housing grain as ever was known in this climate, and much of what was then secured was fit to be thrashed and ground immediately. Au exception is to be noticed in that which was cut greener than usual, which, in fact, comprehended a large portion; for the heal and dryness of the weather ripened the straw be- fore the grain, and as the latter had this year an ' unusual tendency to shed and dislodge itself from the husk, even before it became quite firm and hard, it induced many farmers lo house their wheat in a soft and pulpy state, which though it will not ultimately perhaps injure the sample, will make it necessary to allow foi'the drying and consolidation. From the middle to the end of the Wheat harvest, variable weather ensued, with rains more or less heavy and lasting, hut with intervals, that some tunes permitted the crop to be secured iu goi d order, but too often not , in a state fit for srn- mediate use. Very little Wheat appears even at this period to have received injury by sprouting. The ctiahly of Wheat from every district, with very few and partial exceptions, is slated to be ex- cellent Indeed, this is generally concomitant of the circumstance noticed above— an early tendency in the husk to shed and part with its grain. The slightest concussion, the very setting up of the sheaves when I hey had fallen, or a brisk gale of wind, in many instances this year, strewed the ground around the shocks with corn— while to blighted and shrivelled grain &> ay be applied with little variation, those beautiful lines of Goldsmith on the Swiss peasant's attachment to his home—• So the loud tempest and the whirlwind's'roar, But bind them to their bauen husks the more. Hardly any complaints of blight, mildew, or isiiiut have been heard, and the straw is generally bright aud clean, though not superabundant in bulk. The. qualify anil condition of our Wheat has also been ascertained, wherever it has been thrashed, by the weight which, in many instances, lias been unusually great Reasoning fuun these premises, we should be inclined to anticipate an abundant produce, above the usual average, taking the kingdom throughout, and considerably above it in many favoured districts Occasional failures have been reported, in some cold retentive soils, where the wheat never recovered the wetness of tin winter, ami on seme exposed thin burning spots, where the drought was too powerful for it. The Might frosts at the time of blossoming were also more prevalent and severe in some situations than was generally supposed, and there the crop is of course proportionally light, and less productive. There may be also something allowed for waste by the shedding of the grain during the gates and storms that have occurred in the later period of the Wheat harvest, which in some situations is said to have been considerable. But with all these de duct ions, to which we cannot assign any very poweiful influence* there seems grounds for con- jecturing that our Wheat crop will prove above an average one, both in quantity and quality. Barley aud Oats have been housed in good order; aud iu the southern part of the kingdom the harvest is ge. ueraily, though not universally, finished; some back ward sown Barley is st ill standing, not having been sufficiently, ripe for the scythe, when the rain com inenced on Saturday last. But the quality of the Barley this year will not ment the same charade as that of fhe Wheat It is commonly of a bad colour, and thin and steely. The excellent dry condition in which it had been generally carried will compensate the maltster for these defects With respect to produce, it is more difficult to form a conjecture as to its probable amount in this grain than in Wheat— much less, indeed, very little, has been thrashed As far as the bulk straw will assist our conjectures, if is certainly ranch greater in kindly working soils, that were sown neither very late nor very early, than could have been expected. In some instances it may be said to be positively great; but in much of that which was sown at the* two extremes of the season, the crop is thin and short In a considerable por tion, even where the bulk is not deficient, the eai of Ihe Barley has hot just pushed out beyond the sheath, and is by no means long, which promises but ill for the yield ; but on the other hand where there is a considerable bulk of straw, it must proceed, not from its length, but from the plant standing thick on the ground; this is a re deeming circumstance, and as far as it goes indi cafes a large proportion of grain to that of straw. Taking into consideration these various points, we may perhaps be induced to expect that the Barhy crop « dl prove decidedly under an average one, though not to the extent that was at one time feared. Oats, With very few exceptions^ are said to be short in the straw, and the grain small and thiu, but they are nevertheless reported in many places to wear the appearance of. being productive The Pea crop is generally considered a deficient Oiie>; Beans, though universally short in haulm, are in some places well podded, and are expected to yield well in proportion to the bulk, though in others the filling of the pods has been prevented by the long continued drought, which the rains, came too late tt) recover. The grass seeds and clovers am uig the spring corn were at one pe> i > d almost invisible, but the late rains have given them much assistance, though neither the Clover nor Trefoil is strong and vigorous. ' Fhe early sown Turnips and Swedes in good soils show partial instances of success, but in general, on average land, the Turnip crop exhibits a failure. Where a plant has been sown, and brought up by the late rains, th fly has in most cases attacked it, and frequently carried it off. an unusual circumstance at this time of the year, and neither the young plants, nor those that struggled through ihe dry weather have grown or imoroved as might have been expected under the i ifluenre of rain falling on a heated soil A few night- frosts may perhaps have been ihe chief cause of this disappointuienl Potatoes during the dry weather appeared quite a faili. ig crop, in many instances it was impossible to hoe them lill after the rain, which lias now given vigour and luxuriance to the haulm, but it has probably fallen loo late for the bulbs. Tiie deficiency of this root is not of so material conse quenee in this country an in Ireland, from whence, very unfortunately , the accounts of this crop, so essential to he support of her population, are by no means favourable or satisfactory it seems lo be tiie oider of the day m some of our journals more particularly devoted fo ihe cause of agri. cuiture am! ihe restrictive system, to hold out an idea lhat there is still much old coin tu innd. Our Northern neighbours are greatly interested in an agricultural experiment of a novel nature. Two young Flemings, the sons of small farmers in their native country, have been brought over, at ihe expense of some Scotch Gentlemen, to exhibit practically the use of what is called the Hainautt scythe. ' I he following is a description of the scythe and hook :— Tlie scythe is a short blade of 20 inches, or nearly like the point half of an ordinary hay scythe blade. It has a handle of the same length. The blade during cutting is quite level, both from point to heel, as well as from edge to back. The handle stands in a position nearly upright, or inclines forward at the top, so as to form with the blade an angle of 80 degrees That portion of it held in the hand is turned back a little, or nearly to 45 degrees, and is longer than the breadth of the hand, on which over- length the arm rests, and is strengthened during cutting. In the left hand the op> rator holds a staff three feet and a half long, at the extreme end of. which is a book; while cutting, this is used iu pressing back the corn mid- way up, at the time the scythe strikes ihe bottom. At each stroke the scythe cuts the length of ifsel! and a foot or more deep, which cut corn it leaves standing quite upright in front of the uncut com. As soon as ihe operator has proceeded as far as he wishes across tbe ridge, he turns, and, with the book, pulls the corn towards the open side, cutting a little uioie. at the same time, so that in going and returning, about five feel may be cut. The young men, who are named Do pre and Catteau, have made a tour through several parts of the South of. Scotland, working a day at a time on different farms; and the general opinion seems to be, that though the Hainault scythe can never he brought into use exclusively, it may become a useful auxiliary to tbe other mocks of gathering in the fruits of the earth.

It confines itself not to one1 country alone, but extends to every country in th$ four quartern of the globe, aud to every region, how- ever remote ; and how- could yye go to foreign coun- tries, aud ' o people of different religious persuasions ; how could we go to the Luilierau, to the Calvinist, to the Greek, and to the Roman Catholic, without first laying it doyvnas our foundation at home, that we admit all uur fell ow Christians of W'hatever < lescrip » lion as members of this society ; aud that if there are any who refuse to accept the Scriptures from us, there are none to whom we refuse to give litem* Standing up n this broad basis, we wish to look upon all Christians as brothers, and desire to regard all nations of the \\> rid as united in one common tie under tbe same God, and acting under the direction of the Millie general code of laws given by bis sacred word If I could imagine that this institution, uni- versal as it is, could iu some degree have affected other benevolent institutions antecedently foimed, bnl having more limited objects in view, 1 will freely own that the greatness of the object would not have suffered me to withdraw from it : hm it is a satisfac- tion to leflect, that the effects of it have been — what I should have anticipated ihey must have been— to increa- e the zeal, lo augment the funds, and Jo improve the character of all ; because the same principles ou which this Society is formed may be applied in a degree to all others, ami ibe motives which lead to subscribe to ibis ^ oil Id lead lo sub- scribe to others We live iu a time whew great efforts are making towards the genera- education of: all classes ami all descriptions of men : and God forbid that any one should suppose lhat there is any branch of education whatever, from the acquisition of which any class sbutild he excluded, and from the knowledge of which some benefit might not be acquired; yet I cannot bin look to religious educa- tion as the only sure foundation of all ns< lul know- ledge.

Having acquired a fortune, he returned again to his native country, after an absence of 33- yeais, and one of his first acts was to insert an ad- vertisement in the newspapers, desiring all who had suffered by him in his early life, lo give in iheir claims against him, which were paid, princi- pal aud interest, as soon as presented ; and so ex- tremely anxious was he that every person should receive compensation iu full, that he yvas al pains lo trace aud find out tbe heirs and representatives, of all the foreign houses. with which he had dealings, ihe very names of w hose partners would never have been heard of again, after the convulsions lhat hod taken place in Europe, but for his own informa- tion and exertions The law of England does not recognise any power in a foreign tribunal lo dissolve a marriage con- traded in Rmjtand; but it would seem by a late French decision thai fi e ' aw of France goes a step further, and do> s not recognise ihe power of a foreign tribunal to dissolve a marriage nhererer contacted The ( our Ilova'e of Pans lately decided lhat a marriage contracted in France be- tween one Constant in Zaffiropolo and- Mademoiselle Mauduit Du Boisse. t, was null ami void, by reason « - f Zaffiropolo's prior marriage at Zuite to one Maria Verestia, which marriage had tioJ been dis- solved by a divorce. And they added, * 4 that even if a divorce had taken place, yet inasmuch as the capacity of aliens to contract marriage in Fiance must be subordinated to the dispositions of the Civil Code ( which does not allow divorce) the second marriage would he equally null."
