These Nutritious, Preparations have been submitted to the Medical Profession throughout the United- Kingdom, and have met with the most decided Approval and Recommendation; in fact, many Physicians of the greatest Celebrity have declared, that the Patent Preparations of Bar. lev turd Groats excel all other Articles in one. as a Food for Children, See. The Patent Barley makes superior Barley Water in Ten Minnies, and is infinitely better than the common Barley for thickening Veal, Mutton, and other Broths: it is also in the highest Repute for making a most delicious Pudding or Custard.

WILLIAM NOCK, Clerk to tbe Company. Wellington, 1 st Sept. 1835. I, A PEHOUSE.— Captain M. anl> y, recently arrived at Paris, has brought a report, sup- ported bj presumptive evidence, that llie Spot where the intrepid La Perouse perished 40 years ago, with Ins brave crew, is new as- certained. An English whaler discovered a long and low island, surrounded by innumer-> able breakers, situated between New Caledonia and New Guinea, at nearly an equal distance from each of these islands, Tlie inhabitants came on board the whalir, and one ot the chiefs had a Cross of SI. Louis hanging as an ornament front one of his ears. Others of the natives bail swords, on which Hie word " Paris" was engraved, and some were ob- served to have medals of Louis XVI. When they were asked how they got these things, one of the chiefs, aged about filtj, sud tluit when he was young a large ship was wteiked in a violent gale on a coral reef, and that all on board perished, and that Ihe sea cast some boxes on shore, which contained the I l oss of St. Louis and other things. During his voyage round Ihe world, Captain Manby had seen several medals of the same kind, which La Perouse had distributed among the natives of California j and as La Perouse, on his de- parture from Botany Bay, intimated that he intended to steer for the northern pari of New Holland, and to explore that great archipelago, there is reason to fear that the dangers already mentioned caused the destruction ol that great navigator and bis gallant fcrew. the cross of St. Louis is now on its way to Europe, and will be delivered to Captain - Manby.— Parit Paper. WEST INNIFIS.— The damage inflicted by the lale hurricane iu tbe West Indies was very great* At St, Croix, all the estates were injured, and several vessels lost. Al Basse terre and Gua. daloupe, it was attended with an earthquake; and four to five hundred persons had lost their lives. The town of Bassee- terre was almost reduced to ruins. At St. Kilt's, Nevis, Dominica, and Bar badoes, the hurricane was severely fell. Sir Galbraith I. owry Cole, the Governor of the Mauritius, has issued a singular proclamation from the Government House, Fort Louis, requiring proprietors of estates, Usscs, and other occupants, io deposit at Ihe civil commissaries of their re- spective quarteis in the course of the year, ten birds' beads, or tu- entu rats' tails, at their option, for every slave in their possession. The hiids' eggs, young birds or rats, found and destroyed in their nests, shall be counted in common with others. A penalty of six sols is fixed on every, bird's head aud rat's tail not furnished. Every head of an ape or monkey shall be received as equivalent to six rats' tails, or twelve birds' heads. All those races are considered destructive to the harvest and culture on the Island. T he story of Whitliugton and bis cat, after this, ought no longer to be considered a romance. ^ ale^ J bp auction; TO BREEDERS OF LEICESTER SHEEP, 150 prime Ewes Wethers to be Sold; and 2f> most valuable Rams lo be Let for the Season ; BY MR.

For Worms, Fits, Pains in the Stomach, fyc. WrORMS are the Cause of many inter- nal Afflictions, which vary so much in their Effects that they may be mistaken by the most emi- nent Physician, and prove equally fatal to the Con- stitutions of Adults and Children, though the latter more extensively suffer from their destructive ra- vages, Their more usual Symptoms are Fits, Pains in the Stomach, Side, and Head, Loss ot Appetite, and Pale, Languid, and Emaciated Appearance in the Patient. The extraordinary Efficacy ofCfllNG's PATENT WORM LOZENGES in all such Com plaints, as well as Obstructions in the Bowels, and every Disorder where opening or cleansing Physic is required, is so universally known, and has been publickly acknowledged by so many Persons of Distinction and Rank in Society, that it is unneces- sary here to enlarge on their peculiar Virtues.

THE PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS are so well known throughout Shropshire, and indeed throughout the Kingdom at large, for the Cure of the above Disorders, and without the Aid of Mercury or of any Surgical Operation, that any Comment on their Virtues is quite unnecessary. As tl Purifier of the Blood they are unrivalled in their Effects. And their Efficacy has been attested in numberless Instances; many of them on Oath before the Magistrates of Shrewsbury ; thus establishing their Pre- eminence over the Nostrums of ignorant Quacks, aud over the more established Prescriptions of the Regular Faculty.

INDIA.— Calcutta Papers to the 17Ih of March, were received on Tuesday morning, containing dispatchcs from Sir Archibald Campbell to Ihe 23d of February, at which lime he had advanced without opposition to Laing, between GO and 70 miles distant froni Rangoon. Private letlers had been received at Calcutta from Rangoon lo the end cf February. They speak of Ihe Army under Sir Archibald advancing so rapidly as to give the grealest hopes of their reaching Prome by the IStli of March; indeed il is said that the leading column was within seven days' march of that place. Tbe troops continued in ex- cellent health and spirits t and so little resist- ance appeared likely to be made, that the necessity of the advance of Ihe second division lo support the first is spoken of as problema- tical j whence the belief was becoming more and more general, ill t terms of negotiation would soon be ottered by Ihe enemy. On Ihe oilier hand, we learn that at Prome a most decided resistance was lo be expected. It was reporled thai 50,000 men and 800 • ar b ats were collected tliere, an. l the army were ill the highest spirits at the prospect of coming into contact with the enemy. The advanced guard of the army, which was at Laittg on the 23d of February, con- sisted of detachments from his Majesty's 3Sth and 47LII Regiments, and the £ 6ili and 45th Madras Light Infantry. Previously to commencing his march, Sir Archibald Campbell had issued a Proclamation to the Birinans, informing them of the real nature of the war, and explaining how it had arisen out of the violence and injustice of the Court of Lhnmerapoora. This Proclamation had been attended with Ihe happiest effects, as it had induced Ihe country people to view the English Army wilh a friendly eje, and to bring them in readily supplies ol buffaloes, fowls, and other provisions. In Arraoan Ihe movements of our troops hail not been so rapid: advices from tlieni, however, came up to the 3d of March, at which time they were on the Mayoon liiver. From Cachar the accounls came lo the 5th of March ; but there the army was stationary, from the wild nature of the country, aud the want ol means lor advancing. | An express arrived in London on Tuesday afternoon from Liverpool, with news of great . interest from India, brought by the Mbimii i Captain Swainsoti, who left Calcutta on the J 17tli of April last, and consequently bring, J intelligence nearly a month later than had pie- ' t viously been received Captain Swainsoti slat- , ed, that on the day he sailed, the Hon. Mr. t Adam, who was passenger in the All) on, re- e ceived a lelter from Ibe Secretary to the Go- I vernment, informing liim that dispatches bad . that moment arrived from the army in Ilia tl Burmese territory. They communicated the '• important intelligence of Arracan having been " captured, on the 3! st of March, by tbe di- vision under the command of Gen. Morrison, i. The private letter did not contain any details i- of the capture. Captain Swaiiison states that "" the war in the Burmese country rage I with ! a greater violence than ever, and tiist there ap- peared no prospect of its speed} termination. _ Mr. Adam, we regret to state, died on board the Albion two months after that vessel left Calcutta. He had resided in India, we believe, - more than thirty years, having filled the im- is portant ofiSce of Governor- General from the i- period of the Marquis of Hastings' departure to the arrival of Lord Amherst. e- Application to parliament.

For preserving the Teeth and Gums. HP[ JE VEGETABLT^ TOOTH POW- iL DER has so long been in general Use that it ia almost unnecessary to offer any further Recom- mendation of it. Composed of Vegetables, without the Admixture of any Mineral or pernicious Ingre. dient whatever, it is free from tbe usual Objection against the Use of other Dentifrices. Its detersive Power is just sufficient to annihilate those destructive Particles which adhere to the Gums and the Inter- stices of the Teeth; healing Injuries in the former, and promoting a new Enamel ( where it has been injured or corroded) on the latter. It likewise im- parts a Firmness and healthy Redness to the Gums; and if used regularly will preserve tbe Teeth in a sound State to old Age.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR,— In the Chronicte of Friday last, there is paragraph, noticing the detection of some garden robbers, and insinuating a want of a tivity in Ihe watchmen, for not apprehending certain rapper, bell. pull, and flower- pot breakers, & c.— It would have been but fair in the writer of that paragraph to have'staled that, while iu the winter months ten watchmen are employed, ill Ihe summer season there are but four watchmen, and that it was by one of these four that the garden robbers wer* taken with their plunder upon them. As to the rapper- breakers, I would remark ( as the writer of Ihe paragraph I have alluded lo ought iu justice to hate done), that some of the individuals who entertained themselves wilh that ic frolic," were recently caught by the superiuteudant aud watch men, and had to pay pretty smartly for their fun, as possibly their imitators may have to do by an< by ; tint iu more particular reference to the flower- pots, it nifty be observed, that an individual going lioine, as some are in the hahit of doing, at all un seasonable hours of night and morning, would have been quite as likely to have apprehended Ihe actor in that misdemeanor, as any one of the four who although on another part of the beat, yet happenet to be ( technically speaking) on tbe WATCH. jFor ttjc Salopian journal.

The CUP such Racers gain is PUBLIC CHOICE ! VOTES are Subscriptions ! Thus the Public Voice Makes up a Premium aggregate, for those Who claim most Votes bestow'd, when Poll shall close. In more respects analogy is just! Sometimes FOUL JOCKEYING we discover must; Such Practices as Racing Laws condemn, So, in Ihe sequel, CUP is not for them.

THE STATE would soon be right, This is the Counsel of CAMBUENSIS. SHROPSHIRE Church Missionary Association. The Anniversary Meeting of Ibis Association was held in the Town Hall, Shrewsbiuy, on Friday last, and was most respectably attended. Al 12 o'clock, he President, W Cl. Uoor; Esq. took ihe Chair, and opened the business of Ihe day. ' I he Rev. LANGI. EY, the Secretary, theu read the Report, s follows:— FCEPORT. The Committee of Ihe Shropshire Church Mis- sionary Association, in presenting to this meeting Report of their proceedings during the past year, call upon you to bless God for the preservation of your Institution through another year,— and for he measure of success with which God has graci- ously crowned the efforts of your Committee to keep alive ihat spark uf missionary zeal which God imself at first communicated. " Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us,— but unto Ihy Name be the praise." Considering themselves as llie Stewards of this Society appointed by you to attend to its interests," your Committeefeel it is required of Ihetn thai they should be found faithful. It shall, therefore! be Iheir endeavour, in dependence on God's aid, lo present to you, its friends and patrons, a faithful representation of the state of Ihe Society, which you have supported wilh so much perseverance aud liberality. They trust thai his statement will be received with kindness by all, and wilh renewed desires and prayers that God would revive this work in every station al present occupied,— and greatly enlarge ihe sphere of its operations curing the approaching year. Your Committee cannot address you altogether the language of congratulation. A degree of regret must necessarily be excited in the breasts of your Committee, lo find Ihe least falling off in the amount of your Receipts. Did they not feel this, they must justly be chargeable with indifference to the grand object you are congregated together to support; and, knowing this fact, were they to conceal it from you, they must b< censured for Iheir timidity and unfaithfulness. The Receipts this year are nearly One Hundred Pounds less than last year; a circumstance which should awaken egret and rouse lo renewed exertion, being about one eighth of the whole income, £ T42. 7s. 3jd. having been the sum total received during Ihe year, of which £ 700 have been transmitted to the Society in London: the various items of whicb this siim is composed will appear in Ihe Appendix This deficiency arises altogether from those sources over which your Committee have liltle or no controul, the Branch Associations. Your Com miltee mention this not to discourage any, much less to censure, for Ihey believe there is no weari- ness in well- doing even where the greatest defi ciency in the amount of contribution is apparent ; Ihey bless God Ihat Associations continue to exist at all, after ihe removal of thciv leaders from the scene of operations, and that their remittance, though smaller, is yet so respectable f they mention Ihis for two reasons,— first, to promulgate an opi- nion confirmed by experience, that no Association, under ordinary circumstances, can long continue prosperous while ils members forsake the assem- bling of themselves together, as Ihe manner of some is; and, secondly, to place, once for all, on Ihe records of Ihe Institution, the determination of Ihe Committee to assist, as far as they can, either al Ihe formation of any future Associations, or at Ihe Public Meetings of any of the Associations already formed. They feel that tlicy ought strongly to urge tin friends of the Society connected with ihe Associations to hold an annual meeting their respective neighbourhoods, wherever it possible. It is, however, in the power of your Committee to address yon in terms of Congralula lion. Several sources of income have considerably increased during the pasl year,— Ihe Annual Sub script ions and Donations having considerably ex ceerled those of any former year: and though a cloud here and there rests upon particular stations in connexion wilh your Society, the general aspect is encouraging,— and your Committee trust from Ihis day every member and friend of Ihe Society ill strive together in prayer for the further exten siou of ils important object. Are Missionary friends so numerous, or subscribers to any Mis sionary Institution so general, that we may not during the approaching year, each procure an addi fional friend or subscriber out of the circle iu which Providence has placed us? Let us search and see,— under the impression that the time is short, and that whosoever is ashamed of Christ and of his words in this sinful and adulterous generation, of him will Christ be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of Ins Father with the Holy Angels. Some of us may have more extended influence; we may be the happy instruments of either reviving an Association somewhat drooping. promoting Ihe establishment of one in a neigh hourhood yet altogether unoccupied. And to the Clerical Members of the Society, a most important and most efficient plan is presented of aiding tbe good work, both by offering their services Preachers for Ihe Society, anil by procuring the Pulpits of others for Sermons in aid of the Society's funds. Your Committee have to state Ihat so numerous are, at Ihis moment, the offers of Putpjls, that il is impossible to find Preachers to fill Ihem and thus a considerable sum thwst be lost to the Society, unless ihis statement shall call forlh offers of aid from the Clergy now present. " Whom shall vie send? And who will go for us?" It is false humility to decline such a service under ihe view of our own inability. What, though ( with Ihe Prophet) wc be men of unclean lips, and dwell among a people of unclean lips, it becomes th Priest of the Lord to say, " Here am I, send me ' And such need nol fear bul that God, whom tlicy are thus endeavouring to serve and glorify, will give lliem a mouth of wisdom. The same principle which shall enable the Clerical members of ihe Society to spend and be spent in this cause, will enable Ihe Lav members of Ihe Society to stand forward as the advocates of Heathen Missions in their respective neighbourhoods and families; thu introducing their children anil servants into an acquaintance with our interesting object, and affording even lo them the privilege ol co- operating wilh us in our efforts to preach ihe Gospel, lo every creature, and to bring on thai glorious period when Ihe kingdoms of Ihis world shall become Ihe kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ.

Wednesday was the day appointed for launching His Majesty's ship Princess Clmrlnttc, of 124 guns, A finer launch was never w itnessed : but the melan- choly accident we are about to record caused a dejection, that will not e,-. silv be effaced. To ap- proach the dock wherein tbe'Charlotte lav, it was necessary to cross a footbridge swung on the top ef flood- gates, which separated a basin from another dock; that iu which the Cha. lotte was built dry ; but the basin, which is of large dime ( being capable of holding two or three ships' full of water. A few minutes before Itie launch' took place, the flood- gates, from the heavy pressure of water against them, broke away w ith a tremen dous crash ; and the bridge, CD feet long-, crammed with persons eager to get forward, being left suspended, gave way in the middle, and the whole mass of individuals was precipitated instantly ton depth . of. 30 feet, anil the rush of a body of water in height not. li- ss than 20 feet, engiilphed llie miserable sufferers! Their cries were but indis- tinctly heard; for the whole were precipitated in one mass, while the, rush of water caused such tn vortex that nearly the whole disappeared, and in a few moments, save the struggling of ilie few that floated, all was hushed! Astonishment, despair, and agony, were depicted on ihe countenances' of all who witnessed this dreadful but momentary scene of horror. The praiseworthy exertions of individuals was, however, in a few moments, dis- played, particularly by some officers, who dived repeatedly, aud in one or two instances were suc- cessful ill bringing bodies to the surface. These were instantly carried to the surgery - where, iii a few moments, hot baths and warm bedding were iu readiness; and, by prompt exertions, the lives of six individuals were preserved No mei d of praise can do Dr. Porter, and Mr. Martell, surgeon, justice. Those restored to life were, Mr Sabine' of Portsea; Mrs. Mitchell and her daughter- it soldier's wife, his Sister and child. The horror of survivors, anxiously enquiring for their dearest relatives and friends, was, throughout all. the latter part of the day, most intense; and very numerous are the reports respecting who are supposed to have lost their lives 011 this occasion • 23 bod ies have been dragged up, seven of whout were restored by perseverance in the means for restoring suspended animation All of them had sustained severe fractures, and two of them have died since from their wounded state. Among the persons whose bodies have been found are- Mr. Hart, his daughter, and nephew; Miss Froggett, aged 20; two Miss Knights, ugeil 18 and 14; Staufield, belonging to the Customs ; a man named Showers; Niticham, aged 14; another boy, 14; Master Hawse, 13; a youth named Taylor, 15. a cliild, aged- 2 ; a boy,. 12 ; and a servant in livery. One gentleman had just stepped out of his car- riage and four, followed by his servant, on the bridge— both were lost. A phtetou tlia' came fioni Chichester in the morning w ith three maiden ladies, returned hack empty. One of the feet of a female gave way on the bridge, but she sprung forward, and was saved by a person catclii g hold of her gown. A mother, with a littlec'hild iu I ng clothes, were saved, but the child's arm was broken. A medical gentleman was passing the bridge with his wife and sister; lie saved the former, but the latter perished. MONTGOMERYSHIRE. Sl SIX OF lot. I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII.

Every exertion is making, by order ofthe proper authorities iu the Yard, to procure the other bodies. In taking a full view of ( he bridge and gates, it is impossible to attach any thing like blame to any one; for such was the pressure of water against them, that they were literally wrenched from the stone work, and broke iu " halves . horizontally, snapping the heavy timbers that formed them like twigs. It was obse'rved by m. tiuy, lhat some of tbi unfortunate sufferers reached the bottom of the dock before the water had made its full entrance ; but in a moment, these enormous gates, wilh heavy pieces of plunking, and blocks of wood which lay at the bottom, were dashed agaiust the unfortunate indi- viduals, and I lie whole hurried to and fro in violent agitation. Many escapes near, aud on the ends of, the bridge, are slated as being almost miraculous. It is impossible to calculate on the numbers that still may lie in the Dock, for those who have been found do not seem by any means to constitute the amount of persons who were on the bridge, stated to have been not less than 100. It is supposed that 40,000 people witnessed the launch, anioug whom was his Royal Highness Prince Leopold. The accident is bailed as an Omen by the super- stitious ; " Every thing- belonging- to the poor PI in cess Charlotte is unlucky, is in everv body's mouth. The accounts received from Portsmouth ou Satur- day morning, state', that inquisitions had been held on 17 bodies, and applications were made at the Yard for 33 others, who, with seven rescued, make ( 52 J A young- gentleman named Paine, who happened to be near the spot when the bridge g- ave way, ( jlunjfed into the Dock, amongst the wreck of thW gates and tiinb. rs, and brought out u Mrs Miichell, a stout, heavy woman, aud saved her from drown- ing' j but she was dangerously bruised. At the same moment, a Lieute. iant of the Kavy, and two sailors* dashed in, dived about, and brought up sis others! - thus rescuing from the very ja > s of death seven fellow- creatures\ The last body taken up was that of Mr. Deering, a distant relation of Commissioner Sir George Grey. The Basin and Dock, it is said, will t » e cleared of their water, when the exact loss of lives will of course be ascertained. TILSTOC&.

How many calls have been made for deposits of money, when the names and designations of the parties projecting them have been withheld from the subscribers.

[ From the New Monthly Magazine.] The rage for new joint- slock' Companies, owing to ' a recent hoax in the neighbourhood of Bartholomew, lane, is a little on the wane in this over- grown metropolis. The people who hang about Capel- court have, jumped headlong into many a scheme for pearl- diving, gold- digging, Thames- preaching, road- rpiling, and Jeremy Benthaiu knows what beside. Most of them have got a ( lame) duckiirg for their pains. At first it was who but they :'•' but when if came to 4fc cashing up," affairs assumed a soberer complexion. Unlike Ihe Whitfield process, a'" call" brought them to their senses, and latterly the like ness of all projects, old or new, has been drawn in darkness and shadow. It is now discovered thai fhe Egyptian Trading Company brings home nothing but mummy- dust for snuff'takers : the produce of the swamps of Brazil is alleged to he only beneficial to toad eaters : and as for the British Fishing Com- pany, notwithstanding its capita I of £ 500,000 sterling, I would not stand in its chairman's shoes for the best John Dory that ever was brought to Quin's table. So widely has the drag- net of this Association been spread, that actions for false imprisonment are ( I happen to know) depending against its trustees at the suit of Mr Codd of Hull aud Mr. Pike of Bridge- water. Mr. Herring the comedian, who was most unceremoniously hooked out of Commodore Trun- nion, in Astley's Amphitheatre, has indeed, like his, theatric predecessor Mackliti, consented to stay pro- ceedings on payment ot costs— people who have their benefit to take should uot create. enemies. But. Mr. Salmon of Devizes is determined to go to a jury. Let us not, however, , in onr zeal to discourage visionary projects, throw a damp upon those which tend to manifest utility. We may sneer at plans for climbing the Andes, and for diving into the Caspian sea ; but that man must have a strange notion of the ridiculous who can attempt to cast a ridicule upon the latest and most rational of projects, which has recently made its appearance iu - Cape!. court, under the title of the new Grand Joint- stock Anti- out of- Town Company ! The prospectus, which now lies before me, paints in lively colours the strong dislike which peo pie in general have to going into Ihe country. Then why go they? U may be asked, 41 Poor man! how gat he there?" The answer is obvious! Honour requires il! The same fondness for character which induces ns to measure distances at Chalk farm, sit out a house- dinuer at the Alfred, drive iu a Cabriolet with a pair of round shoulders, and a couple of kid leather gloves parallel with one's eyes, along. Regent- street, or read T re ma i lie quite through without missing a page of the third volume, hurries some of ns to the sands of Ramsgate, and others to I he brick pavement of Brighton—' 41 rtiodo Thebis modo Athenis." No sooner, says the prospectus, does July arrive, than the good people of London begin to be cross- examined out of their habitations. Nobody admits that he means to stay iu town. One talks of Broadstairs, and means indeed to take a tour of the whole Isle of Tha. net to look afler the harvest ; one intends to pop over lo France, and perhaps, take a peep nt Holland ; a third has never seen Edinburgh, and a fourth, who picks his teeth seven days in ihe week at the Medusa Club, where he purchases en- durance for five guineas per annum, has been so pressed both to take a month's shooting at Lord Bagwell's in Berkshire, arid to slay iri a house with some nice girls three miles from Maidstone, that he real. lv does not know which to decide upon. Survey these* several parties, continues the prospectus of the new company, when they have arrived at their place of rural. destination, and what does the. view present? A sad picture of ennui! The yawns of the indivi- duals are absolutely appalling! The tourist through the whole Isle of Thanet amuses himself by trying to pitch pebbles through the spokes of a bathing- machine at Margate ; ihe popper oyer to France aud peep- taker at Holland halts at Calais, gets a glimpse of the ex- dandy Brummel, and regales himself with a slice from a yard and half of sour bread, and still sourer wine at Quillac's; while the third, who has never seen Edinburgh, puts into Scarborough, hor- ridly sea- sick, goes to the theatre, and meets with that melancholy accident, a comic song between the acts! The member of the Medusa Club luckily stays where he is, as nobody will endure him where he is not. " To check these heroes, and their laurels crop, To bring them back to reason— and their shop"— to dissipate that sickness of stomach which the smell of wild roses and the sounds of lowing cattle and lit- tering chaffinches are calculated to create in the natives of London ; in short, to give to shareholders the semblance of visiting the country, while they in reality remain in town, are the objects which the founders'of the Anti- out- of- Town Company have in view. The capital is half a million, and there are 5000 shares. A handsome edifice is already erected upon an area of waste land in Whitefriars. From this building, a sub- way under the streets of London conducts to Bond street in the west, and to the Royal Exchange in the east; with diverging nnder- paths to the Lyceum, the Haymarket theatre, Asiley's, and the Circus. There is a handsome dining- room and drawing- room looking out into a clean wefl- paved court- yard; and the prints that adorn the walls of these two apartments are so selected as carefully to exclude all hateful ideas of mountains or meadows. They consist of a front view of Carlton- palace; the spire of St. Bride's Church as - at present opened to Fleet- street, with Hone's shop window in shadow; the execution of Lord Balmerino upon Tower- hill; the Light- horse Volunteers mounting guard at the corner of Shoe- lane, in Fleet- street aforesaid ; Abra- ham New land, ciit off at the knees like his Chevy Chace predecessor Witherington ; Tom Paine, Wil- liam Wiiberforce, and Madame Vestrisdrawing on a white kid glove. Al first a back view of Sadler's Wells, with the pipe- field adjacent, was suspended over the chimney- piece; but this has been since removed as exciting ideas of too pastoral a cast. AH sparrows are carefully chased from the premises, and people nre hired to cry milk and sweep at the proper time in the morning. There is a grand piano- forte in the drawing- room, bnt no songs are allowed to be sung toil but such as 44 Oh, London is a fine Town." 44 Hark the merry Christehurch Bells." 44 From your rocks, storming Lannow, I fly ;" and 44 Ye shall walk in silk attire." Miss Martha Mactreble begged hard for 44 ' Twas within a mile of Edinburgh Town," but, on a reference to the directors, it was determined that it was at least three quarters of a mile out of thfe rules. The dinner is handsome and well- served, and'a sprig of London pride is laid upon each mem- ber's plate. The sub- ways to which I have alluded conduct such gentlemen as have nothing to do to their clubs in Pall- Mali East and its environs. Mock mustachios and evanescent chin tufts are providedat Ihe bar, enveloped in which, by way of concealment, thev may boldly read the papers at the Union, call for coffee at tlie United Service, peep at a poet at the Alhenajum, or applaud Tarrare ihe Tartar chief from a latticed box at the Lyceum. Such gentlemen as are engaged in commerce may, by ihe same sub- terraneous means, issue forth from the cellars under the Royal Exchange, emerge at Batson's, sneak over to the* Baltic, bid for Molasses, Scammon>\ Gum Mastic, and dry Memel calf skins in Mincing- lane, and afterwards, replnnginginfoCimmerian darkness, join their, old associates in Whitefriars. As under seas Alpheus' secret sluice Bears Pisa's offerings to his Arethuse." There is a large room in the upper part of the edifice entirely appropriated lo models in cork of all the principal watering places Upon these a Scottish gentleman in black lectures every morning at J/>, giving the spectator a correct notion of Jacob's ladder, Ihe light- house pier, and Sir William Curiis's house at Ramsgate; the two libraries and arched excavation of cliff at Broadstairs; the number of steps that lead up the church at Whitby; the : battery walk at Hastings, wilh the library at one end of it, where a yotitig lady favours the company with a bravura song; the chain piei al Brighton, shewing how the company may either ascend through the cliff, or get out further'on, if they wish to go to the York Yotel; not to mention the well walk and church- yard yf Cheltenham, and the Sussex Arms and pantiles ( I beg their pardon, the esplanade) at Tunbridge Wells. An attendance at a single course of thesp lectures will enable any lady or gentleman, with ordinary attention, on emerging from their month's quarantine, so to swear that they have been I at all, any or either of the above mentioned places, that T defy Charles Phillips himself to cross examine i them out of the allegation. This is a saving of time, trouble, and expense, which is at once worth more than all the money. Into' this asylum, aVfnto a nunnery, will, T have no loubt, temporaVily retire many n Devonshire street ilowager,' who now shuts her front windows and Steals otit for exercise backward, amid the hostile fs of the curry- combed animals in Devonshire Mews. Here she will neither be broiled by the sun upon Brighton Downs, nor Cut in twain by the East wind at the corner of Albion- place, Ramsgate ; but she nviy, and doubtless will, on quitting her secln sion, complain of haying endured both. Into this retreat, as into a monastery, will gadly wander many a junior barrister from " Fig tree Court adjacent, whose half- guinea motions, ts few and far between," debar him from ihe Brighton race- course; whose relations in Cumberland are riot over- anxious for another view of his visage; and who, surveying Vincent Wing with a mournful eye, wonders what the long vacation means by yawning from the22d of June to the 7th of November Hither, too, will drop in many a dweller in the regions of Finsbury, who would 44 rather meet the devil himself" than a waggon drawn hy a team of oxen. Several rare exotics are hung up in the pantry of the Institution, far the edification of gentlemen of the last- mentioned fraternity, consisting of a stuffed bird, called a phea- sant, in the mouth of a stuffed animal called a pointer, Another stuffed bird, called a partridge, with a broken wing, and seven leaden shots in his belly ; and an embowelled quadruped cnllpd by Linnaeus a hare. A few lectures upon these animals, and the method of slaughtering them, delivered by the same gentleman in black, will authorise and enable an inhabitant of Austin or Crutched Friars to boast of bagging his three brace and a half as boldly as Nimrod himself. Great events often spring from trivial' causes. The magnificent scheme of the Joint- stock Anti- ont- of- Town Company sprang from a record of the following well- known anecdote of Richard Brinsley Sheridan. 44 Father," said the son of the poet, " when I was last at Newcastle, I went down riilo a coal- pit."— 44 The more fool you, Tom !"— 44 Nay, Sir, surely it is gratifying to be able fo say that one has hset'i down into a coal pit "— 44 Oh ! I have no objection to your saying it." Il only remains to add, that the physician of the Anti- out- of- Town Company is Doe'tor Street, the solicitor is Mr. Lane, and the standing counsel is Mr. Alley. EXTRACTS, From a, n Eye witness of ihe Events in Paris during the first four Months of 1814. [ FROM THE F. ONDORT MAGAZINE FOR SEPTEMBER.] January, 1814.— Towards the end of January* Ihe. dreams of power, security, a" tiff reliance on the mnni poieuceof their arms, which the French' had so long indulged, vanished before their increasing labours * The Parisians of every class of society laid in, to the full extent of their circumstances, stores of flour, rice, vetches, white beans, potatoes, salt pork, red herrings, & c. Salt beef and biscuit are unknown at Paris. One day at the commence ment of February, the demand for potatoes was so great at the Marche des Innocens, that a measure rose from the usual price of six sols lo forty. Oh the 18th of January, the law which fixed th rate of interest in civil cases at five per cent, and at six iu commercial concerns, was suspended until January 1, 1815; and in the interim, every one was at liberty to obtain what interest he could. * •• A paper was stuck at the base of the column which supported the statue of Napoleon in the Place Vendome; on it was written, 44 Passez vite; il va t omber." # * * # Price of Stocks, Jan, 3d, 5 per Cents. 50 francs, 50 centimes, 51 francs. Bank Actions 690 francs, M. de Talleyrand was accustomed to entertain evening whist parties; these he now relinquished, lest he should incur the suspicion of their being mad subservient to political purposes. * * • A considerable number of the more wealthy inha- bitants of Paris employed carpenters, joiners, and masons, in making hiding- places for their plate, money, and portable articles. But no sooner did th news arrive of the battle of Champaubert, and a column of prisoners was exhibited to the versatile and sanguine Parisians, than a paroxysm of confi deuce was excited, and the universal cry was, that 44 not one of these insolent invaders would re- cross the Rhine." # # # # # February 1 . — Price of Stocks this day— 5 perCents, 51 f. ; Bank Actions, 690f. About the 5th, the Passport office at the Prefecture of Police was daily thronged with ladies, who, fear- ing the arrival of the enemy, hastened to quit Pari with their children, and take refuge, in Normandy Totiraine, and the western parts of France. Thirteen hundred passports were delivered in one day.— Num bers pledged their effects at Mont de Piete, as fi security from their being losers should Paris be pillaged. # # # * # Most of the females in the higher aud middling classes employed their leisure minutes in the tediou process of unravelling rag to make lint for the wounded, woven lint being unknown in France This was the evening occupation at almost all the houses I frequented; and I saw at Malmaison the Empress Josephine herself set the example, and all her ladies in her drawing- room thus employing the evening. There were, at. this time, from 18 to 20,000 sick and wounded from the army in Paris. 17.— The National Guard was under arms at th barrier of Pantin, before eight in the morning, to receive the prisoners taken at Champaubert. * At four, a column of about five thousand Russians and Germans was paraded along the Boulevards, preceded by French drums, anil gens d'armes on horseback, and guarded on eac side by. a file of National Guards, who had now, for the first time, been . seen on duty. * This show was received in a very different mauue by the people from % hat the Government either ' ntended or expected. The multitude assembled to see them pass evinced the greatest pity ; and money and whatever eatables could nt the instant be pro- cured were freely bestowed by even the poorest persons. * * A considerable nantily of bread was thrown from the windows in Rue Napoleon. Mademoiselle Bourgain, ihe cele- brated actress of the Theatre Franeais, manifested her gratitude for the liberality she had received in Russia, by being on the Boulevards with her car- riage full of provisions, which she distributed. Mademoiselle RegnauH, of the Theatre de i'Opera Comique, did the same, as her friend Boveldieu, the composer, had been greatly patronised in Russia. The oSLcers, whose melancholy dignity excited universal admiration, marched at the head of the column, and almost, all the men were clothed in long, loose, coarse brown great coats, with the number of Ihe regiment on their shoulders. The Russians wore boots of Russia leather, the new and powerful odour of which the Parisians believed emanated from the Russians themselves. * * * Several were wounded and covered with blood, dried upon them, which shone, and was as black as " et. The Russians were of very dark brown com. ilexions, and their hair was cut quite, close to the ead. I saw two women among them. The column took fwenty- seven minutes in passing, # J # * * * March.— The distant roaring of artillery of the engaged armies having more than once been heard at Paris, every sound of cannon near the capital excited alarm. With a view of preventing this, and probably that all such sounds should he attributed to one cause, it. was announced on the 26th, in the newspapers, thai the artillerymen of the line and the National Guard would daily practise with artillery at Vi neen ties. •* # # # Every class of persons showed the greatest re- luctance to part with their money. Few workmen or artisans were employed, and those few could not obtain their wages. So great was the stagnation of trade, that shopkeepers were eager to sell their goods considerably under prime c^ st. Money > ecnme so scarce, that many persons, u'ere obliged to send their forks and spoons'to the mint to be coined. There was a premium of forty francs for fifty pieces of twenty francs in gold ; " all being desirous of ' warding. 26.— The 5 per Cents. 46f. 35c.

Before day- break the terrified population of the country between Meau. x and Paris came pouring into he capital with their aged, infirm, children, cats, dogs, live stock, corn, hay, and household goods of every description. The Boulevards were crowded with waggons, carts, and carriages thus laden, to which iheir cattle were tied, and surrounded by women on foot. The distress of the poor refugees was augmented by being forced to pay the octroi at the gates of Paris, for which many were obliged to sell part of their stock at the barriers, to obtain what they hoped would be security for the rest, the right > t taking it within the walls; thus displaying lo the nhabitants of Paris a picture of the effects of war, far different from that which they had been ac- usfomed to look upon. * * * Tuesday, 29.— Napoleon had sent orders, that if the Allies approached Paris, the Empress Regent, the King of Rome, the Council of the Regency, Minis- ters, & e. shoti'd repair lo Ihe banks of the Loire. This morning at day- break, the disorder whrch had reigned all night in the Tuilerits was exposed to the public. The window shutters being opened, the wax lights in the chandeliers were seen expiring in their sockets. The ladies of the court were running from apartment to apartment, some were weeping, and iri a state of distraction, servants hurrying from place to place in like confusion. * # * * # At half after ten, the Empress Maria Louisa, in a brown cloth riding habit, and the King of Rome, in one coach, surrounded bv guards, and followed bv several other coaches with attendants, quitted th palace, the spectators preserving the. inost profound silence. . * * * * # At the Theatre Feydeau, there were only three persons in the pit when the curtain drew up, nor al any time during the evening were there more than twenty in the whole house * * The price of Stocks this da= V— 5 per Gents. 45f. 23c., 45f., 45f., 23c., 45f., 45f. 10c., 45f.

Prince Schwarfzenbefg sent a ® ag of truce from his head- quarters at Claye, fo General Compons, offering terms for the evacuation of Paris ; but king- Joseph, to whom the General forwarded the di: patches at Paris, would not listen to them. # * # # * A horse, with his hind leg dangling by a sinew, was brought into the field where we were, to whose misery a National Guard humanely put an end with a musket ball. * * * * At twenty minutes after four the artillery, which the French had abandoned on the summit of Mont- tre, was turned upon Paris, which the enemy began to cannonade. One ball passed just above our heads, and dashed tip the earth close behind us The boys scrambled for it; but the other spectators scampered towards the streets. * * * At a quarter after three Miss J M observed from her window in the Rue Charotine, the French cavalry gallop down the Butte St. Chaumont, which they had occupied all the morning, and instantly re- placed by those of the Allies, who formed into much closer ranks. * # # * At four o'clock the Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia had advanced to the Butte St. Chaumont. Prince Schwarizeaberg. was with them. The south side of the foot of Menil Montant was occupied by the Allies at. four o'clock. Lefevre, the Restaurateur, told me that there were French dra- goons skulking in his court- yard the whole of the dav to avoid the battle. * # * # # About half after one o'clock, news was brought to the Luxembourg palace that the King of Prussia and his staff were taken prisoners. This was the signal agreed upon for the wife of Joseph Bonaparte to fly She immediately entered her carriage, and set off for Blois, * * # At seven in the evening the evacuation of Paris began, and continued, without intermission, the wlioie night. The men appeared greatly dejected and those whom we questioned, though ignorant of the force of the Allies, yet asserted they had been sold to them. * * * During the whole of the day the wounded French dragged themselves into the streets of Paris, and there lay down to die. Favart saw one who had crawled as far as the Rue de la Universite, and was there lying on the pavement; one of the bystanders ked him if he wished to be carried any where? All he requested was to be allowed to die quietly which he did in a few minutes after. * * * * Marmont observed that there never was a more foolish attack made than that of the Allies, as they might have entered Paris on the side of the Bois de Boulogne without resistance : instead of which they attacked on the side of its strongest defence. Th Moniteur of this day was a full sheet; no notice taken of the war or the army ; nearly four columns and a quarter were taken up with an article on the dramatic works of Denis, and three columns by a dissertation on the existence of Troy. The theatres announced as usual. # * * * * Some of the cannon balls came into Paris. I saw a window frame shattered in the Faubourg St. Mar tin, opposite the junction of the two roads. In the Rue St. Nicholas, between the Rue du Montblanc and Thiroux, a man was mortally wounded in house; he was carried to the hospital, and died During the battle, the President and Governors of the Bank of France assembled at the Bank, and ordered the copper- plates of the Bank notes to he destroyed ; they were preparing to burn all the notes when the news of the capitulation arrived. Idng and tray of spades: h\ s partner, quccu, knave, ten, and nine of trumps. The adversaries consequently had only the eight, deuce, and tray of trumps, two of which made, as well as ace and king of diamonds, king of hearts, and ace and queen of spades. To add to the singularity in this nstance, the score was 6 and 9, consequently the odd trick won the game against the four honours. The cards in each hand were, A and B partners against C and D; C deals, and turns up the eight of clubs, having also, ace, queen, ten, and deuce of spades; king, seven hearts, and one small diamond. JB held ijueen, knave, ten, and nine of trumps, ten and nine of hearts, two small spades, aud five little diamonds. D had the deuce and tray of trumps; ace, king, five diamonds, five small spades, and knave of hearts. A's hand as above. The game was played as follows: First trick. B plays off, and not having a trick in his hand ( exclusively of the trumps), leads ten of hearts; D puts on the knave; A runs his qtseen : won by C with the king. Second. C. plays his only diamond; won by D with the king. Third. D plays the ace of diamonds, and find ing the revoke in his partner, continues the suit. Fourth. A, his queen arid knave of diamonds having fallen to the two preceding tricks, and knowing that C turned up the eighth, throws away his losing heart, so as to have the command of the next lead, his hand then consisting of his six trumps, ace of hearts only, and king and tray of spades; C trumps with the eight. Fifth. C leads a heart, D trumps it5 the ace falls. Sixth. D leads a spade, A puts on the kingj C wins it with the ace: and, Seventh. Returns the queen, which wins the game. The two best players of the four were partners, and held the trumps; the others may fairly be considered not less than second rate players. Asa devotee of the game of whist, I sat upon thorns during the playing of the hands, having, of course, seen the strength of A and B, and their adversaries' weakness; though many good judges to whom I have mentioned it agree that there was no bad play on the part of the former. There is an old adage. 44 That one man may steal a horse whilst another can't look over a hedge," and it is not, perhaps, inappropriate here; the leading of a • ingle card, which five and forty times out of fifty loses a great score, in this instance won the game. In the evening of the 31st, about thirty wounded Russians laid themselves down under the arcades of the Rue Castiglione. General Scott lodged in the house, and an English medical man, who was dining there, dressed their wounds, the Misses Scott made lint, and the pavement was covered with straw ; h left them about, eleven o'clock ; the next morning they were gone, but as not one of them could speak French, it could not he found out how they came there. The French were very humane to them. WHIST. [ FROM THE SPORTING MAGAZINE.] I send you a curious instance where the odd trick was lost at a game of whist; and I enumerate the particulars, that all doubts may subside, which would certainly be excited on a first view of the hands. One party held ace, king, seven, six, five, and four of trumps ( clubs); ace, queen, and eight of hearts5 queen and knave of diamonds; and Mi& ttUzncom EnUUtgsnce* The 53d ( Shropshire) Regiment of Foot were to niarch, on Monday lasl, from Chatham to Ports- mouth. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland arrived rather unexpectedly in this town, on Friday evening last, and slept at the Queen's Head. The castle guns were fired, and the Mayor waited upon his Grace to congratulate him upon his successful embassy. Their Graces left Dodsworth's at half past ten, attended by such of their tenantry from Tynemouth and Newbury as had heard of their arrival. At Morpeth, another party of the tenants claimed the privilege of escorting their Graces; and upon arriving at Felton, they were met by still larger body of them, as well as by most of the gentlemen and principal tradesmen of Alnwick, who greeted their Graces' happy return from Fiance, and attended them to their castle. The Duke, on alighting from his carriage, returned his best thanks for their kind feeling towards him, and took occasion to mention, as appropriate to the cause of their meeting him, that be was sur they would receive pleasure at being informed how incorrect the newspaper reports were on the sub- ject of his mission,— as from the king to the peasant a marked attention was paid to the British embassy, and to him as his Majesty's representa- tive, which he thought it a duty he owed to the Court of France to acknowledge. The Felt' band played before the Duke and Duchess through that town, and upwards of 400 persons, who had accompanied their Graces, were entertained at the different inns in Alnwick, and upon the road.— Newcastle Vour ant. Mr. Rothschild returned to his temporary residence at Brighton, on the Marine Parade, West CliiTf, on Saturday night. The four brothers are now in England, and their families are on the most intimate terms; considerable portions of them are constantly here. They now occupy the five large snake houses ( so called from portions of the balconies being formed by figures of snakes upwards of ten feet in length) on the Marine Parade. There are six families occupying them, and the establishments consist of thirty five servants, - See. There are daily large parties, aud enormous orders to the tradesmen, especially for Sundays; and there is as much bustle before the doors in the court- yards almost ail day long what with the visitors, the carriages and four, Mr. R. and others promenading the balconies, the tradesmen going backwards and forwards, & c. as if 44 high ' Change" lasted here at least twelve hours. The orders are princely and imperative; if the things are to be got in Christendom, they must be fulfilled— the pay is prompt and excellent and the commands for segars and porter may offend squeamish 44 sinners," but must delight the 44 publicans." The consumption of 100 or 150 pots of • porter in one day is nothing. DREADFUL FIRE AT BRIGHTON.— A most alarming fire broke out 011 Monday night, at the large and elegant mansion erecting by Major Russell at the end of the Ma rine Parade. It was first discovered about half- past eight o'clock, at which time it had gained great head, the flames bursting forth with dreadful fury from the win dows and every part of the building. The house being unfinished, il is supposed the fire must have been burning within the walls almost from the lime the workmen left il, a period of about two hours. An engine belonging to the town arrived about nine o'clock, and lhat of the Sussex Fire office shortly after ; but owing lo the scanty and insufficient supply of water, they were prevented from working until about half- past ten o'clock, when Ibe fire, having consumed all that was com bustible, was gradually subsiding. The spectacle was a most terrific one, an immense mass of ( lame arising from the house, and rolling over the town ll is estimated that the proprietor had expended upwards of ten thousand pounds upon the house, not a shilling of which was insured. The interior is completely gulled, nothing being left but the outer walls, and even in these the bond timbers are completely burnt, so that in all probability they must be pulled down. A considerable por- tion of Ihe party walls fell in at night, and one which was standing next morning tottered from the top to the bottom of Ihe building in a fearful manner. The house was surmounted with a large and elegant dome, which being formed of wood covered wilh lend, gave way at an early stage of the tire, and fell in wilh a tremendous crash ; this dome alone cost upwards of £ 800. In front of the house was a noble portico, the pillars of which were truly magnificent; and through lhese the fire was seen raging along the building, formin most grand and imposing object. At Ihe top of the front wall was a balustrade, through ( he interstices of which the flames poured wilh great fury. One man was so much hurt by the fall of the burning scaffold poles as to expire almost immediately, and another was dangerously injured and not expected to survive. The proprietor. Major Russell, was present among the spectator and seemed to bear his loss with the utmost sang froid, as he gave the necessary directions to the workmen. The house has for a long time attracted the admiration of alt visitors, and it is said, lhat Mrs. C,. ntts was iu treaty for the purchase of il the portico had been stuccoed only the day before, CHINESE METHOI> or MENDING CHINA. Boil a piece of white flint glass in river water for five or six minutes, beat it to a fine powder, and grind it well wilh the while of an egg, and it w join china without rivetting, so that no art call break it again in the same place. Observe, the composition must be ground extremely fine on painter's slab. Another and a successful attempt to reach Ihe summit of Mont Blanc, the pinnacle of Europe, has just been made. A lelter has been received announcing the complete accomplishment of Ihis most daring undertaking by an Englishman, Dr. E. J. Clarke, a young physician of distinguished science and much eoterprize. The commnni- calion is from the Doctor himself; who, with his guides, completed this arduous task at two o'clock P. M. on Saturday, the 27th August. He relumed to Chamouni in safety, but the post being about to depart, he bad no lime to enter into any of Ihe interesting details. The last attempt was made aboot four years since, and it proved very dis. astrous, most of Ihe parly having perished, without any one of them accomplishing ihe object in view. EDUCATION.— In a recently- published volume of Sermons by Archdeacon Paley, Ihe following arguments are given, in answer to Ihe objection against the education of the poor.— It is observed that in early life most of the books furnished to the children by parents and masters will generally be found favourable lo virtue. The Archdeacon says, " In after life, bad bonks can always he met by good ones. If we should concede to the ad- versaries of education, the superior activity of those who circulate noxious writings lo lhat of those who wish to diffuse wholesome knowledge, or the avidity and relish with which one soi l are received more than Ihe other, the consequence would only be diversity of sentiment; and this is agreeable to experience. When men read and think, diversity of opinions ensues,— more perhaps than might be desired. When men neither lead nor reason, there is little diversity of opinion at all. Now what 1 contend for is, that amidst diversity of opinion, though it be au evil, public authority can support and maintain itself. The ascendancy which necessarily belongs to it, added to the reasons which strike every man in favour of order and ranquillity, will usually confer upon it strength sufficient to meet Ihe difficulties which arise from diversity of sentiment. I have said, that where Ihe bulk of the common people are kept in profound ignorance, there is seldom much diversity of senti- ment amongst them ; whilst, therefore, Government continues in possession of this sentiment all is well— bnt how if ihis sentiment lake an opposite direction > How if it set iu against the order of things which is established ! It then actuates Ihe whole mass, and that mass moves wilh a force which can hardly be encountered. This is the case of most real danger, and this is a case most likely to arise where the common people are in a state of the greatest ignorance." At the late Meeting of the Bath and Wells Episcopal Societies, the Rev. Mr. Grinfield, Ihe Secretary. to the Balh National Schools, said, " My excellent friends who have preceded me have directed your attention— ibe one lo our duty of diffusing lhe blessings of Christianity aud civiliza. tion amongst our colonies abroad, and Ihe other lo the state of the parochial schools in our country villages. It remains for me to call your notice to a less pleasing, but not less important, topic— the present stale and condition of popular education in our towns and cities, as regards the instruction of the people in Ihe principles of the Established Church. It is in vain lo deny, my Lord, lhat however interesting it may be to contemplate the peace and retirement of a rural life, yet lhat all great political and civil affairs are dependent chiefly on those who reside in towns and citics. Cast your eye over our towns and cities, and you will acknow- ledge lhat Ihe crisis has now arrived when the powerful effects of popular education are about to be developed. It remains for you, gentlemen, to discharge your duties al Ihis important period, by doing every thing in your power lo give a salutary and beneficial tendency to these mighty operations. The adversaries of our present establishments in Church and State, are using all Iheir endeavours lo turn the tide of education against us. They re- present the friends of the Church, and more especially Ihe clergy, as secretly hostile to the in. tellectual improvement of the working orders. Now, it should be our great and unceasing en- deavour to destroy Ihis prejudice, and to correct this misrepresentation. Let it he clearly under stood that, so long as religion is made'the ground work, we shall rejoice to behold the people rising in Ihe scale of intellectual dignity; that we fear no increase of knowledge which is accompanied with moral improvement; and lhat we are anxious only to be their fellow workers and assistants in this goodly endeavour lo extirpate ignorance and to illuminate their minds." THE CONSTANCY OF REVENGE.— One of the most striking instances of the powerful influence of passion, is recorded of a young Spanish office who being sent upon a military service lo South America, was stationed at Potosi, the Governor of which place had issued a decree that no Indian hould be employed in carrying Ihe baggage of Europeans. This officer, however, whose name was Aquirra, broke the order, ami employed on some expedition an Indian lo carry his baggage Of this he vvas instantaneously accused, and con- demned to suffer the punishment enacted for ihe offence— which was to be publicly placed ou an ass, and whipped. Great intercession was made for him, but without effect. At length, after many solicitations, a respite for a fortnight was obtained from the Governor ; but just as the order reached the prison, ihe offender was stript, and mounted and exhibited for punishment. On hearing of the respite, he said, " Nay, the shame is suffered; worse cannot be done; therefore, executioner, discharge your duty, and return the tyrant hi reprieve." The sentence accordingly took its course, and the young soldier endured it with the greatest calmness: but he never after could be induced to associate wilh gentlemen. He was constantly wandering about by himself in a stale of gloomy melancholy, and shunning the society and converse of his fellow- creatures. Soon after the Governor was superseded in his command by another officer— but Aquirra was slill to be seen lingering about Ihe palace. The Governor's friends, apprehensive of a design upon Iiis life, advised him lo withdraw lo some other place. He did so, and went to Los Reyos, lliree hundred and twenty leagues distant; but in one week's time Aquirra was there, having followed him on foot The Viceroy then removed, as secretly as he could, to Quito, which is four hundred leagues from Los Reyos— there also came Aquirra in a short space of time, though he travelled as before, without shoes or stockings.— Finding himself so closely pursued, Ihe Governor took another flight as far as Cusco, five hundred leagues from Quito— but there also he was followed by Aquirra. Wearied out by so many journeys, the Governor said, " I will fly this fellow no longer, but keep a guard about me, and defy him;" which he did: but the gales being one day open, and all his retinue engaged in play, Aquirra entered, found his enemy alone, stabbed him to Ihe heart, and then dispatched himself with the same dagger. MATRIMONIAL INTELLIGENCE EXTRAOH- NARY.—" All Jar Love!"— During the past week, youthful couple were, at our Parish Church, joined together in holy matrimony, whose whole stock of worldly wealth consisted of two silver pieces of sixpence each!— Ihe dower of the gentle bride.— Cheltenham Chronicle. The officers of a parish not twenty miles from Ihe hundred of Cheltenham, lately offered a youm man who was more than suspected of being the favoured inamorato of a damsel who threatened to add lo the number of the parishioners without any previous legal ceremony, the sum of five pounds to lead the blushing fair one to the hymeneal altar The ungallant swain, somewhat doubting the excellence of the bargain, or the trustworthiness of the bargainers, insisted on being paid earnest- money before he entered the church, and accord ingly received Iwo pounds, and ihe ceremony commcnced ; but it had not proceeded farther than, " Wilt thou take this woman to be thy lawful wife?" when before pronouncing the awful " I will," he demanded to be paid the balance of three pounds! The parish officers refused to accede to his request, and he, in bis turn, refused to complete the cuutract. LIVERPOOL.— There are in Liverpoot twenty thousand Welsh people, half of whom under- stand no language but their own; and then ® ten thonsaud persons are left without a church to go to, or service to attend in churches which at present exist. The King, with that gracious goodness which characterises all his actions, some time since was pleased to con- tribute five hundred pounds towards erectin" a church for them, in which, by a frequent performance of divine service, they might al! have an opportunity of meeting and assembling together in public worship; but the noble example has not been imitated. That there are amongst the people of Liverpool, those who fee!, and feel deeply, for the honest, loyal, yet neglected Welsh inhabitants, it is most true, and who shall wonder? That the Welsh inhabitants of Liverpool are worthv of the patronage of the crown, and the projection of the people, let the annals of the place be the evidence. Amidst all the robberies, the murders, the barbarities, the cruelties, which have been committed for the last fifty years in the great town of Liverpool and its poptdous neighbourhood, not one crime of any nature which has transpired, has been the act of a Welshman— not one I And yet ten thousand individuals are denied the blessings which re- ligion can afford, because none can be lo nd to raise a Church for their reception, or defray the charges of early service in the Welsh language in Churches already built it bag been suggested, that as the corporate body of Liverpool have applied to the Crown for a new charter ( and, from several peculiarly ad- vantageous coincidences, it is almost certain Ihey will obtain il) that thev should ( as they would willingly) pay a fine of some thirtv or forty thousand pounds for the favour. With one half of this sum, two sufficiently com- modious churches tor the poor Welsh" mi" ht. be built; and the other moiety left in the hands of the corporation, for" which they should pay four per cent, interest, would con- stilute a fund wherewith to provide cler°- vmen to do the duly. Thus would his Majesty be enabled to complete a work of charity and piety, his gracious disposition for the per- fecting of which, yothing can more stroiHr evince than the bW/ evoent gift to which we have already alluded. No person who °- ives the subject a moment's consideration can enter- tain a second opinion upon it; and however unpleasant it may be to force men into acts of charity, a little compulsion is absolutely neces- sary where the disposition is so very equivocal it is in the present case. Perhaps the present hint may quicken those who have it iu their power to iead by their influence, and assist with their means.— We hope it niav John Butt. The lady of Mr. Wellesley Pole Long Wellesley departed ihis . life on Monday morning, about li o'clock, at Richmond. For some time she had been much indisposed, and, under Ihe direction of her medical advisers, went, about eight days since lo reside at Richmond- hill, where she was attended by Sir D. Dundass. On Friday she was able to walk out, and her death on Monday was somewhat sudden. Mr. William Tjson, of the Strands Inn, in Nelherwas- dale, lias a hive of bees which stands in a cavity of the wall in his garden. A common black toad, which had taken i! s residence in a hole in the wall near the place, on Tuesday last was observed to walk forth and place himself directly in the mouth of the hite, and, to the astonishment of all present, to fall to catching bees in their going from and returning to the hive, witfi such dexterity and activity as would have done honour to a more nimble animal. After witnessing him in ihis attitude some time, and convinced that if his depredations were suffered to continue he would eventually destroy the whole hive, he was removed and condemned to receive the punishment of a trailor. On openin<* the animal, upwards of one hundred bees " were found in his stomach. An Association of a private nature, but of men of known wealth and character, has been formed lo recover the treasures which were sunk in Vigo Bay in the reign of Queen Anne. Smollett de- scribes the amount as 14 millions of pieces of eight; and we are informed lhat the galleons are entire, aud may be distinctly traced al low water. The contract is wilh an Englishman, and Ihe half of what is recovered is lo go to Ihe Spanish Go- vernment, which is sufficiently anxious to see the undertaking speedily realised. The great diving bell of Ramsgate, and olher bells, with a complete crew of English divers, under a strong protection will sail in a few days. Il is ascertained lhat the galleons are on a sandy bottom, and, if we may believe what we hear, there is no doubt of success. The Bay of Vigo being enclosed with a narrow entrance, is very calm, aud this will much favour the undertaking. A seaman belonging to Ihe Windsor Castle, of bad character, and one who was considered to disgrace his Majesty's Navy, after various means had been tried to reclaim him, was, on Thursday last drummed out of the Fleet, This imposing cere, mony was performed by Ihe culprit being " placed in Ihe ship's boat, with his hands tied before him a halter about his neck, and a paper, on which was described his offence, fastened to his back and rowed alongside of every man of war in our harbour, the d rummers iu ihe boat sweetly sere » nailing him with Ihe honourable air, Ihe " Rogue's March." Afler he hail gone through ibis pleasing ounil, he was landed al Mutton Cove, with hi » paraphernalia, amidst the laughs and sneers of a great number of persons assembled.— Devonshire Freeholder. A poor man died, last week, in Bethlem Hospi- tal, who had been confined there ever since the year 1791, a period of thirty- four years; during which lime his parish have expended on his main, lenance upwards of £ 700, being at the rate of 20 guineas a year. The new Bankrupt Act has commenced iu operations— it contains many important alterations. Among others, any trader may. file, in the Secretary of Bankrupts' office, a declaration, signed by an attorney or solicitor, that he is insolvent; which declaration being advertised in Ihe Gazette, be. comes an act of bankruptcy, upon which a com. mission may be sued out within two months- but no docket can be struck in less than four days after such insertion.
