MONTGOMERYSHIRE. Valuable Freehold Property. PHENOMENON.— Last week, Athlone and its neighbourhood were visited by a smart southerly gale, which did not, however, cause any consider- able damage. During ils continuance, a curious phenomenon was exhibited. The Shannon, which forms in winter, at the bridge, a dangerous cataract, and rushes under it with a loud roar, had, on this occasion, the course of its waters so far suspended by the fury of the wind, that its channel beneath the bridge was so perfectly dry as to he crowded with persons attracted by the novelty of the scene. The spectacle, which was without precedent in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, was principally owing to the very shallow state of the river in that part, from the unusual drought of the summer, and the circum* stances of the wind having operated against the j stream. There were some pieces of coin of ail ancient date picked up, and also some, which being adapted to modern times, were more h gldy prised by the vulgar ftuder,— ifhfom Herald,, Dr. Boerhaave's Red Pill, ACELEBRATED ANTI- VENEREAL and PURIFIER of the BLOOD. A CERTAIN COMPLAINT, and all the direful consequences of neglect and bad treatment, are best combated by1 the use of this Pill. It is a remedy which acts with equal mildness, certainty, and ex pedition ; requires no hindrance of business, and is taken without exposure. Its amazing sale for the last 50 years is the best proof of its hurprising efficacy. The Directions that accompany each Box fully enable the patient to cure himself. Price 4s. 6d. per Box.

[ FROM TUT STAR IIP MONDAY.] During the agitation of Ihe great and para- mount question of Catholic Emancipation, which divides the minds of the ablest states- i men in this country, producing disunion among liios^ who are, in all other respects, lite most closely connected, and occasioning unanimity of opinion among other classes of men who have been all their lives, except 011 this sole point, at political variance j we would, for the present, simply call the attention of our Iteaders to one particular, on which we pre- sume t ere can he no difference of opinion. A Public Meeting was held at New York, on the 19th of Juli, under tlie - Presidency of no less a person than the Honourable J idge Sanlon, one of the Chief Justices ol tho United States. Estimating the character of the per- sons who composed tils Meeting Iron their speeches and resolutions, we are inclined to consider them mostly emigrants from Ihis country, of much Ihe same stamp as those described hy an old American writer, as the original founders of the Slate of Virginia, namely, " unruly sparks', packed off bv their " friends, to escape worse des'iniea at home— " poor Gentlemen, broken Iradesm- M, rake » " and libertines, footmen, and such others as " were much filter to spoil and ruin i com- " monwealth, than to help lo raise or maintain " one." Be this as it may, the Meeting formed itself into a society for the direct and almost avowed purpose of encouraging treason and rebellion on the part of the Catholics of Ireland. This is to he brought about by supplies of inonei, which IS to be raised by subscription, and called Ihe " Calholic Kent" ( i stiffl- ieiii in- dication of what that same rent, when levied under the ci- devant. Calholic Association, was considered 111 America to mean), and it is further to he aided by addresses and exhorta- tions to the people of Ireland, which one Professor M'Nevm was deputed to prepare. I'lie Catholics are lo he most earnestly dis- suaded from falling into their lale error of I fettering themselves by " professions of I ty. ally," and to be exhorted to wait for such tin opportunity, similar lo the late French devo- lution, as shall plunge their native country into peril and difficulty, : md then to assert their liberties by force of arms Honest Win. Cobbelt, whom the Americans, by ihe way, almost unanimously voted out of iheir own territory, is held up as their great apostle; and finally, Ihe sympathies of Euro e . ire lo he awakened in their favour, by a fl >, u- ish of the grey- goose quill of the worthy fro lessor M'Nevin. We know not what advantage is to accrue to the Shareholders of this new treasonable Joint Stock Ass ci ition, but we hope and trust siiu erely thai the leaders ot the Catholic cause j in lirfsai i. illat — cc rcj c! t . eVr at- tsnce with I contempt and disdain " A word, however, to I Professor M'Nevin— we presume there are laws even in the United States to repress the excitation of treason and insurrection in the I dominions of a Country w ith whom they are in friendly relations? If not, this mm of learning will remember thai Great Britain is not Spain, which may he outraged « i Ii im- punity by any hbeher who may think it worth while. DUELLING— In the year 1751, two military officers, who were stationer! in the garrison of Dublin, quarrelled over iheir glass iilinui some Iniltes, anil one of lliem sent a challenge Ihe following morning to bin companion, lo which the latter returned Ihe following sensible answer; " Sir, 1 reckon it my peculiar happiness, that I can produce Ihe officers and soldiers who witnessed mv behaviour at Fontenoy, as evidences of my courage. Yon may endeavour, if you please, lo propagate my refusing your challenge, and brand me wilh cowardice; but 1 am fully convinced that nobody will believe me guilty, and every body will set- lliat you are malicious. Tbe cause in which we quar- relled was a trifle; the blood of a soldier should be reserved for a nobler purpose. Love is blind, resentment mean, and tasle capricious; and it ought lo be considered, that minder, though palliated by a false show of honour, is murder still, and calls for vengeance." Believing sincerely tint a good underStandiiV between the two most powerful Nations of ihe Old and New Ife'misjheies is condue ve, not only t > the happiness of their respective citizens b it to the cause of humanity at ltr< re, we conceive ill it Ihe sober minded of both countries will agree with us iu dr; iec. iluiu- such foolish and mischievous Associations as that lo which we hue alluded. Be- nl s, it is little creditable lo file state ol learning, mora s, or political wisdo n, iu America, to see one of her Judges descend, from the decent gravilv of Ihe Bench to preside over a k ol of men,' whose avowed pmpose it is to light up the flames of civil war among the cilizens of a friendly nation. What would the t ericans say, il Cliief Justice Abbott, oV Mr. Justice Bay ley, were to head a Meeting at ( he Crown land Anchor lavern, tiie object of wheh should be to produce a separation of Ihe United States?— They would say Ihat it would he I difficult to pronounce \< hetl. er the disgrace or foil) of the tlimg preponderated. Now Hie childish vanity oi the good people of . New York, is every whit as consp cuo s i. i their imagining that they can rouse the sympat ii of j the crowned Ii . ads of Europe in hell , ll of the I Catholics of Ireland, hy me n s of the frothy declamation of recreant Iris. mien; whose epistles, we w ill venture lo predict, will only he another volume of " lleiei- led Add rceT Iro i& UCtfetT. j Freehold Lands, near Elleswere.

SIR, In the eloquent Sermon preached on Friday last bv the exemplary Bishop of this Diocese, in favour of the Infirmary, some faults in tbe construction of the building were alluded to, aud hopes held out of considerable improvements iu contempiatiori. These have long been wanted : and every friend to hti- anity must deeply rejoice that tiie inestimable advantages of this truly Christian Charity should he extended. Upon the choice of situation ( should it be found necessary to change the present scite), or the interior arrangements, I will not venture to intrude one word upon the public, as these points will no doubt be properly considered by the Com- mittee, Or those who have the charge of the alter- ations : — I shall content myself with expressing my hope that a Fever Ward will be included in any improvements, as most important to prevent the Spread of contagion, and more necessary each year as the population of Shrewsbury and the neigh- bouring towns or villages becomes more dense, and more occupied in manufactures. With great humi- lity, however, I would beg to suggest, in any new arrangements, One improvement which it appears to me would be fraught, with great and extensive advantage— 1 mean the establishment of Dispensa- tories ( supplied from the Infirmary) in some of the distant towns of the county, as Ludlow, Drayton, OSwestry, Bridgnorth, and Shifinal : there can be little doubt that in each of these towns some re- spectable medical man may be found, who, elected apothecary or surgeon to this local branch from the Salop Infirmary, would be willing to give up a few hours once a fortnight to advise and prescribe for the pOor of his neighbourhood. I tbe more confi- dently state my belief that this would be tbe case, from * the great humanity and charity which is known to characterize those who belong to this highly- honourable profession. Many of the most eminent in the metropolis, and elsewhere, volunta- rily devote some hours of their valuable time, at stated periods, to give ad vice gratis to the poor who consult them!— thus secretly and unostentatiously assisting their unfortunate fellow- men !— These Provincial Dispensatories would supply good medi- cines to the indigent who might stand in need of them almost at their own doors ; whereas it is evidently impossible for the poor who reside near the towns I have mentioned to reap much advan- tage from the present Infirmary ; the great dis- tance precludes their coming : and the Subscribers from distant parts of the country contribute almost exclusively for the advantage of the district within ten miles of Shrewsbury. By means of these Local Dispensatories they would see the poor of their own vicinity benefitted also, and would be able to exer- cise their discrimination in recommending proper objects for relief. The first cost of the medicines consumed would be considerable, but the good arising would be permanentand extensive. In tiie metropolis, the greatest benefit has been derived from an institution of a similar nature, the Northern Dispensatory, which embraces a very populous district.— The subscribers to that benevo- lent undertaking give medical attendance at their own houses to the indigent who are unable to come for assistance. I do not pretend to put forward any details of the plan suggested : because I feel quite certain, that with willing minds, anxious to afford aid to the poor in sickness and suffering, these details might soon be arranged. I will merely add, that of ail species of Charity, this is least likely to be abused, aud ( with the exception of money spent in edu- cating the poor) does most good, at the least ex pence. S. DOJJCASTER RACES.— The uport on the Mon- day and Tuesday will be found detailed in our 4th page! The betting on the St. Legier was to an amazing amount. One gentleman farmer, who lives within a few miles of Shrewsbury, and who went to see this famed race, was offered a bet of £ 1 Oct) to £ 400; he staked his £ 400, and presently s lucky enough to pocket the whole. Many have won immense stakes: one gentleman, weil known on the turf, has won £ 30,000, another £ 22,000, another £ 12,000, a fourth £ 70< 0, and others good stakes. ' Fhe losses by Cleveland are very great, particularly amongst our honest York, shire friends. The Earl of Darlington has pur- chased Memnon for £ 3500. Memnon is the horse upon which the really knowing ones have all along pinned their faith, with a confidence which the event has completely realized.— On Wednesday, the Doncaster Gold Cup, of 350gs. was won by Mr. Whittaker's Lottery, beating Longwaist and 6 others.— On Friday, the throe- yr old Stakes, of 30 sovs, each, 10 ft. 26 subscribers, vvas won by Mr Russell's b. c.

Williams, Bart. At a Petty Sessions, held in the Town Hall, in Aberystwyth, before Colonel Powell and William F. Jones, Esq. Enoch Hughes, part proprietor and driver of the Express Post Coach running between Aberystwyth and Shrewsbury, was convicted in the penalty of five pounds and costs, for being in a state of intoxication on Saturday, the 17th instant, when driving tbe same coach, and for abusive language to the passengers, six of whom left the coacii at Llanidloes, ami proceeded on their journey to Aberystwyth by another conveyance, for the expense of which, we tiear, it is the inten- tion of the passengers lo prosecute the owners.- The passengers desired that the penalty might be given to the Dispensary at Aberystwyth. ' MONMOUTHSHIRE.— We understand, that il is in contemplation to establish an improved line of I'oad between Abergavenny and the Old and New Passages, by which the difficult ascent at Pen. y Cae Mawr will be avoided, and the distance ac tually lessened. The saving in time wili be con siderabte. This, with the projected improvements al the Passages, wili render the communicaliot^ between Breconshire and the Merthyr side of Gla morganshire and Bristol easy and commodious. On Tuesday last, a very fine Butterfly, known as the Sphinx Atrophus of Linnaeus, was caught on Ihe shop window of a tradesman al Cardiff; measures inches from wing's end to wing's end, and Ihe body about inches long. It is con sidered Ihe most beautiful of European insects of this genus. The upper wings are of a bright orange colour, marked by a pair of transverse black blinds,— the body is also orange . coloured along the top of the back, from the thorax to the tail runs B broad blue grey stripe j oil ihe top of the thorax is a large patch of most singular ap pearance, exactly respresenting tbe usual figure of a skull or dentil head, aud is of a pale grey, varied with dull ochre colour ami black. From Ibe noise, il makes when disturbed, and the mark above- mentioned oil the thorax, it is usually held much dread by the vulgar in several parts of Europe, its appearance being regarded as a kind of ill omen, or harbinger of approaching fate. It is now in the possession of Mr. Lushbrooke, at Cardiff, and has been seen by most of the curious iu that town aud neighbourhood.

WORCESTER GREAT FAIR.— At this fair, on Monday week, there was a good supply of fat an store cattle ; the former sold readily at 6| d. to 7d per lb. some very prime 7| d. For stores milkers, such high prices were asked, that many remained unsold.— Fat sheep ( of which there was a very large supply) fetched 6Jd. lo 7d.; stores were very high.— The number of horses was con- siderable, but there were few fine animals ; the prices of roadsters were on the decline, but draught horses were much in demand, and sold on good terms. Some Flemish horses were exhibited, and attracted much attention ; a yearling stallion sold for 35gs.; a two- year old mare, 40gs.; a three- year old, mare, 48gs.; for three others, five and six- years old, 150gs. was received.

Sir EDWARD KYNASTON; Bart— That tiie Report which Mr. Telford has laid before this Meeting clearly exhibits many and important Advantages likely to arise from the projected Undertaking to the Owners and Occupiers of Lands in its immediate Neigh- bourhood, and to the Public at large, not only by opening a new Communication for tbe Agricultural and Commercial Interests of Shropshire, Cheshire, and Wales, with the interior of the Country and the Metropolis, but by affording a very direct and commodious additional Intercouse between the Manufacturing Districts in aud adjacent to the Towns of Birmingham and Wolverhaiupton and the Port of Liverpool, and, through that Medium, with the Sister Kingdom of Ireland, while it also holds out a reasonable Prospect of Remuneration to the Subscribers for the Capital to be employed.

The Tyne Mercury says—" Great numbers of pitmen belonging to the different collieries in this neighbourhood have been engaged to go to Wales, where, it appears, several pits are now about to be opened. There are two causes to which this is attributed. These men having long been in the habit of bringing up their sous to follow their own avocation, the market has been over stocked, and several remained either partially employed only, or not employed at all. The other reason is^ that in Wales almost doublO their present rate of wages is given."

Although the collection for the Charity at Here- ford Musical Festival was so very handsome," such was Ihe falling off in ( he sale of tickets, that it is expected the Stewards will each be £ 100 out of pocket. Mr. Charles . Mills, the Member for the borough of Warwick^ has signified his intention of retiiing from public life as soon as Ihe present Parliament is dissolved. Mr. Tomes is prepared to offer him- self a candidate for the vacant representation. YORK MUSICAL FESTIVAL terminated on Friday week.. From calculations made, ( he amount of money received at this Festival was £ 20,050; expended £ 18,000; from which, deducting i'fioOO for the i rection of the New Music- Hall, there will remain £ 8050.— The salaries of the principal vocal performers were— Mile. Garcia 300 guineas; Ma. dameCaraduri 250 ; Bruham 250; Miss Stephens 250; Miss Wilkinson 200; De Begins 250; Sapio 150; Vaughan 100. The lowest chorus singer re- ceived four guineas ; and thus, as the baud consisted of about 200 performers more than on the lass occasion, the expenses on that score only are estimated at £ 2000 additional. FESTIVITIES AT SHLOBOROCGH.— The man- sion of Lord Anson, at S hug borough, last week presented a scene of noble hospitably worthy tbe high rank and generous feelings of its exalted owner, on the occasion of the celebration of the birth of a son and heir to the house of Shugborough. On Wednesday, tbe Earl Talbot, the Earl of Chesterfield, General Sir George Anson, the Hon. Col. Anson, Sir Siewart Bruce, and several of the most distinguished individuals in that County, with about 700 of his Lordship's Staffordshire tenantry,; were entertained at a dinner, in a style of un- equalled magnificence. Tbe range of tables ex- tended from the dining room, where his Lordship presided, although suffering, under a fil nf the gout, through the saloon, across tbe lawn behind the louse, iiilo the conservatory, branching, as it pro- ceeded, into the different anti- rooms. The tables on the lawn were placed under a temporary erection which was tastefully adorned with branches of laurel, and festoons of variegated lamps, inter- mingled with flowers. The dishes on the occasion, hich comprised every delicacy which luxury could suggest or wealth procure, amounted, ( not including vegetabh s) In no less a number than 395 ; • 207 removes. Besides preserved fruits, bee. ihe dessert consisted of lOOlbs. weight of pines, aud 2001 bs. weight of grapes. After dinner the health ofthe infant heir was drank, iu ihe must enthusiastic manner, with nine times nine. A number of other toasts were drank, and many of the guests did nut depart until a late hour. It ought to be mentioned that, In addition to those invited, u large number of persons who had been attracted tolbe festive scene hy motives of curiosity, were most plentifully regaled at bis Lordship's" expense. — A hail and supper, which was attended by about < 100 of tbe principal tenants, tradesmen, & c. with their female friends, succeeded on Thursday evening The saloon and draw ing room were appropriated for the dance, and the grand dining room for tbe supper. The supper corresponded iu splendour with the dinner on ihe previous day ; and tlie condescension of Lord and Lad v Anson and the other distinguished individuals present, in joining in the dance^ and iu every possible manner contribuiiug to the gratifiea » tion of tbe company, enhanced the pleasures of ihe evening.— On Friday night, tbe domestics at the hall, aud their friends, were treated wilb a dauce and supper. — We must not omit to reeord that, on this joyous occasion, no class was overlooked in' the philanthropic scheme of die benevolent Viscount and his amiable Ladv : they did not forget those of " homely jovs and destiny obscure ;" anil', perhaps the most delightful sight amongst the many pleasl illg scenes was that of 70 boys and girls, who are clothed and educated by Lord Anson, at Haywood enjoying themselves on Thursday, at a plentiful repast of roast beef and plum pudding, and waited upon by Lady Ausou and several other females of high rank. A Quarterly General Court of Bank Proprietors was held on Thursday, for the purpose of con. sideling of a dividend. The chairman declared that Ihe Court of Directors, after a full consider, at ion of Iheaffairs of the Bank, agreed lo recommend a dividend of four per cent, for Ihe half year next ensuing. Mr. Young asked a number of questions of the Chairman— the fust, as to the amount of Bank notes iu circulation; to which the reply was £ 18,200,000, being about £ 400,000 less than the issues of last year.— The second, the amount of advances on Exchequer Bills ; the reply, £( i7!), 000. The third question was as io the amount of ad- vances on mortgages, lo which Ihe Chairman answered £ 1,400,000: and lhat he was iu error when he staled at the last Quarterly Court that Ihe advances on slock had been from five to si* hundred thousand pouiujs . they were not more than £ 480,000, and there had been liitie increase oil them; and that as to the late violent change which had been produced - in the money market lhat t Six Twenty Thousands in One Day, and no more Lotteries after these Drawings.

A STOLEN CHILD STARVED to DEATH— A short time ago, a little girl of the name of Egan not four years and a half old, was enticed from the lodgings of her parents, in this town, by a fellow, lodger, who called himself William Broadliurst. The child il seems had been taken loexcitc charity. Broadhurst, a few days since, called al a public, house at Snitterfield,' between Stratford- oil- Avon and Warwick, witli the child. In a few days nfter, he called at the same house without the girl, and was taken into custody, aud sent lo the prison nt Stratford, till enquiries'were made about tbe child. Broadhurst said he bad left her in Oakley Wood' abnut four miles on the other side Warwick, on tlie Banbury road. People went to search tbe wood but they did not find her. On Friday last, Broadburst was taken lo the wood to point o'ui the spot where he left tlie child, and a strong suspicion prevailed that he had murdered her. When ( hev got to tbe wood he went to the place where he said lie had left her on the preceding Monday, and there tbe little creature was found lying on the ground dead, and presenting a most horrid spectacle. The body was taken to Warwick and examined by two medical men, who were of opinion that she'had died from want of proper nourishment: no marks nf violence were found on any part ofthe body. A few black- berries were found iu ihe stomach, and the face was smeared with blackberries, w hich tbe little innocent no doubt had picked to eat. An Inquest has been held on tbe body, and a verdict returned by Ihe Jury of manslaughter against Brnndhursf, w ho was im- mediately committed bv the Coroner, G. C. Green- way, Esq. to Warwick Gaol, for trial at the next Assizes. He also stands charged with stealing the child. The parents of the infant attended to identify her, which they could do only by a mark on one of her feet from having been scalded. Through the kindness and liberality of several respectable in- habitants of Stratford and Tachbrook, tbe afflicted parents were enabled decently to inter the body of their deceased child in tbe chu'rch- ynrd ofthe latter place. The ceremony took place on Sunday morn- ing last, in the presence of a great number of spectators .— Birmingham Chronicle. Mr. John Tristram, a coal and ironmaster, nf Coltham Furnace, Lane head, Stafford, disappeared about three weeks since, and, il is understood, has sailed for America. Since his departure it is ascertained lhat he has drawn a number of bills upon various respectable parties, forged their acceptances thereon, aud succeeded in obtaining cash for them, to a very large amount, iu Wolver- hampton & neighbourhood — IVorcester Herald. Since Ihe death of ihe late respected Earl of Carlisle, tbe Duke of Gordon and Earl Filzwilliam are the only Noblemen living who were in possession of their titles and estates in the reign of George II.

Fevers are by in > means so commou in Uio, as might be expected from Ihe unwholesome exhalations of a marshy swamp, which extends into the suburbs and receives all tliie fillb of Ibe city. The exhalation from ihis (.' IUWR entices thousands of the common vulture to teed, upon Ihe garbage, which they are permitted to < i! o without molestation, being consi- dt- ied here, as anciently they were in Egypt, the best and most useful of scavengers. This swamp w ill, no doubt, in time be drained by proper sluices, aud the sea kept out by dykes; but ihe Brazilians seem uot to have discovered as vet the comforts or utility of cleanliness. In the lower parts of the houses, fire. wood and rubbish of everv sort arc iea toes, aped up, lb become the nurseries of fleas, lnosoui- es, scorpions, and oilier noxious and disgiislliig insects. Hats are innumerable, and appear to dread no enemy iu the canine race, as il is no unusual thing to observe whole troops of the two animals feeding amicably together ut the same heap of garbage. The streets are much infested wilh dogs, which being left to seek their own subsistence, are in a slate of constant warfare with the negroes. Hydrophobia is unknown : and it is conjectured that the process of worming, so common wilh us, mav contribute to ibis disease by depriving Ihe animal of one of the salivary ducts.— Besides these town, nuisances, there are many very serious drawbacks to set against the beauty and fertility of the Brazils. Ants and termites swarm in every part of ihe country, and commit great ravages iu the houses and property of the inhabitants; and mosquitoes, ticks and jiggers, are among the inferior plagues, both within doors and without. Scolopendras, cen- tipedes, scorpions, immense loads and frogs, abound in ihe woods. Spiders of enormous size spin their w ebs of such strength as to catch the smaller kinds of birds Snakes, iu great variety, arc very numer- ous, aud the bite of several species is frequently attended wilh fatal consequences. Tbe boa con- strictor attains the size of sixteen or eighteen feet iu length, aud its skin, when tanned, is said to make excellent boots. Kattle- snakes aie numerous and grow- to a large size. Jn many farms two or three stoves lose their lives annually by Ibe poison of this reptile. In the province of the Mines the following extraordinary circumstance is s; iid lo have hap- pened;— k At Saint Jono del Hey, a young man went into Ihe woods, was bitten on the instep bv a rattle- snake, came home ill und died. His widow ( time being very precious wilh tbe fair- sex Binzil) soon married again, and her second availed hinisi If of the clothes of the first, and, among other things, put on n pair of hools. He was shortly afterwards taken ill and died. A third husband followed, and experienced the same fate. Anolher Brazilian, little alarmed by what bail happened, and induced, perhaps, by the accumulation of wealth, became the lourth husband, and by chance discovered the fang of a rattle- snake slicking through the instep of the boot, which being worn by his prede- cessors, had, in a climate where mortification soon occurs, been without doubt the cause of their deaths.'" SOUTH AMERICA. The following characteristic outline of the suc- cession of animated beings which fill up a day's space in the depth of a tropical forest, is taken from a late Work of celebrity :— " The naturalist, who is here for the first time, < loes not know whether he shall most admire the forms, hues, or voices of the animals. Except at noon, when all living creatures in fhe torrid zone seek shade aud repose, and when a solemn silence is diffused over the scene, illumined hy the dazzling beams of the sun, every hour of the day calls into action another race of animals. The morning is ushered in by the howling of tbe monkeys, the high and deep notes of tbe tree frogs and toads, the monotonous chirp of the grasshoppers and locusts. When tbe rising sun has dispelled the mists which preceded it, all creatures rejoice in the return of day. The wasps leave their long nests which hang down from the branches; the ants issue from their dwellings, curiously built of clay with which thev cover the trees, and commence their journey on the paths they have made for themselves, as is done also by the termites which cast up the earth high and far around; TJie> gayeSt butterflies, rivalling in splen'- < boir.- thevcofe>> i/^; o- f. l'he rainbow, especially numerous Hespefiae, ^ flut^ er ^ roni flower to flower, or seek their food on the roads, or collected in separate companies, on the sunny sand- hanks of the cool streams. The blue shining Menelaiis, Nestor, Adonis, Laertes, the bluish white Idea, and the large Euryloehus with its ocellated wings, hover like birds between the green bushes in the moist valleys. The Feronia, with rustling wings, flies rapidly from tree Jo tree, while the owl, the largest of the moth kind, sits immovably on the trunk wilh outspread winos awaiting the approach of evening. Myriads of the most brilliant beetles buzz in the air, and sparkle like jewels on the fresh- green of the leaves, or on the odorous flowers. Meantime agile lizards, re- markable for their form, size, and brilliant colours, dark- coloured poisonous, or harmless serpents, which exceed in splendour the enamel of the flowers, glide out of the leaves, the hollows of the trees, and the holes in the ground, and, creeping up Ihe stems, bask in the sun, or lie iu wait for insects or birds. From this moment all is life and activity. Squirrels, troops of gregarious monkeys, issue inquisitively from the interior of the woods to the plantations, aud leap, whistling aud chattering, from tree to tree. Gallinaceous jaeus, hoceos, and pigeons, leave the branches and wander about on the moist ground in the woods. Other birds of the most singular forms, and of the most superb plumage, flutter singly, or iu companies, through the fragrant bushes. The green, blue, or red parrots, assemble on tbe tops of the trees, or flying towards the plantations and islands, fill the air with their screams The' touean silling on the extreme branches, rattles with his large hollow bill, and with loud plaintive notes calls for rain. The busy orioles creep out of their long pendent, bag- shaped nests, to visit the orange- trees and iheir sentinels announce wilh a loud screaming cry the approach of man. The flycatchers sitting- aloof, watching for insects, dart from the trees and shrubs, and with rapid flight catch the hovering Menelau8 or the shining flies as they buzz by Meantime, the amorous thrush, concealed in the thicket, pours forth her joy iu a strain of beautiful melody ; the chattering manakins, calling from the close bushes, sometimes here, sometimes flier the full tones of the nightingale, amuse themselves in misleading the hunters; and the woodpecker makes ihe distant forests resound while he picks the hark from the trees. Above all these strange voices, the metallic tones of the uraponga sound from th lops of the highest trees, resetnhiiug the strokes of ihe hummer on Ihe anvil, which, appearing nearer or more remote according- to the position of the songster, fi. ll the wanderer with astonishment. While tlujs every living creature by its actions aud voice greets the splendour of the day, the delicate humming- birds, rivalling, in beauty and luslre dia nonds, emeralds, and sapphires, hover round tl brightest flowers. When Ihe sun goes down most of the animals retire to rest ; only the slender deer, the hy pecari, the timid agouti, and the tapir still graze around ; the nasda aud the opossum, the cunning • niimals o<' the feline race, steal through theobscuri of the wood watching for prey, till at last the bowlin monkeys, ihe sloth with a cry as of one in distress, the roaking frogs, and the chirping grasshoppers with their monotonous note, conclude the day; the cries of the macuc, the capucira, the goatsucker, aud the bass tones of lite bull- frog announce the approach of night. Myriads of luminous beetles now begin fly about like ignes fatui, and the blood- suekin bats hover like phantoms iu the profound darkness of the night. The new Brazilian Empire is, indeed, a templing subject for a traveller's pencil; in whatever light we view it— whether we examine iis mountain, ridges, clothed to their very summits with noble forests, while within they are stored with gold, diamonds, topazes, and other precious metals and stones— its spacious plains, covered with the richest pasturage— its valleys smiling with cultivation, on a soil pregnant with all the luxuries, the conveniences, and the necessaries of life— its rivers communicating with a coast full of safe aud convenient harbours, so happily situated as to command a ready commerce with every part of the World— or, lastly, the general salubrity of iis climate, iu every degree of latitude from the equator to 35 deg. south, favourable in some part or oilier to the growth and production of every useful and valuable article of ihe vegetable kingdom — in all and every of ihese points Brazil must he considered as a country peculiarly favoured by nature, equalled by very few, and certainly not excelled by any.-— The climate of the Brazils is good, bolh . in those parls which are within and those without the tropic, and the population is generally healthy. The diseases most frequent are cUrenical ^ porting* DONCJSTEti RACES. MONDAY, SEPT. 19. The Fitzwilliatn Siakes, of 10 sov. each, with 20 sov. added, was won by Mr. Wright's br. h. Lottery; 5 yrs. beating Mr. Farquharsoirs br. h Figaro, Mr. Lambtou's br. c Forester, Lord Sligo's b. c. Canteen, Mr.- T. Duncombe's ch. c. by St. Helena, Mr. Payne's ch. c. Slelenus, Mr. Russell's b. h. Abron, Mr. Watt's b. f. hy Walton, and Lord Exeter's Zealot.— Two paid. Betting— U to 10 on Lottery against the field ; 3 lo 1 against Figaro; 5 to 1 against Heienus; 6 to 1 against Canteen ; and 10 to 1 against Zealot. Zealot, rode by Robinson, jumped off at starting, and made very strong running until within the distance, but could not live the race; then came up Lottery and Figaro, both of whom had hitherto heen watching Zealol; a very severe race then took place between Lottery and Figaro, until within 50 yards of home, when Lottery let loose, and won an admirable race, rather cleverly, by oue length; the others coming", in a very handsome manner ; only two were placed, but we are enabled to slate that Heienus came iu 3d ; Canteen 4th, and Zealot 5th. Lottery was rode by E. Nelson; Figaro, by Jackson; Heienus, bv Sam Day ; and Canteen, by H. Edwards. The Four- year old Produce Stakes of lOOgs. each, 6' suhs. was walked over for by Lord Fitzwilliaui's iorismart. Fi The Handicap Stakes of 25 sov. each, 10 ft. with 20gs. added, for 4- year olds and upwards, Was won by Mr. Lainbtoil's b c. Buzzard, beating Mr. F. Lumley's h. c. Borvslheues, Mr. Houldsvyorth's The Miller of Mansfield, Lord Filzwilliam's b. c. Whisker- audos, and Mr. B. Peter's ch. h. Bugle. 5 paid. Betting— 6 and 7 to 4 on Buzzard against the field, and 2 to i against the Miller of Mansfield. Buzzard took the lead at starting, made severe running all the way, and won his race in good style by a length.— James Robinson rode the winner; Nicholson, Borystbenes; Nelson, the Miller; Cleff, Whiskerandos; and Conolly, Bugle. The Champagne Slakes of 50 sov. each, h. ft. for yr. olds. The winner to give 6 dozen of Cham- > agne to the Club, was won by Lord Kennedy's b. c. £ ing. Catton, beating Lord Scarborough's h c. Tar rare, Mr. Lambton's b. c. Magister, Duke of Leeds's br. c. by Whisker, Lord Queensherry's eh. f. Redlock, Lord Muneaster's br. f. by Odavian, Lord Milton's br. c. Molatlo, and Mr. W. Bairu's ch. c. by Aidrossan. 13 paid forfeit. Betting— G to 4 against Mr. Baird's colt; 3 to 1 against Tarrare ; 3 to 1 against Rediock. The winner was scarcely named, and when so, not noticed. They all came off together, and kept so until very near ending ; in fact, a sheet, throughout the distance, might have covered tbe major part of them. On coming to the close of the race the struggle rested between King Catton, Tarrare, and Garcia ( Lord Muncaster's filly), when the former with difficulty won the Stakes by a head, Garcia coining iu third. Too much cannot be said on the excellence of this race, a belter was scarcely ever witnessed. The winner was rode by Jackson, Tarrare by G. Nelson, Garcia bv T. Nicholson, Majestic by Robinson, Whisker by Smith, Redlock by Johnson, Mulatto by Clift, and Baird's colt by T. Lye. Match— 100, h. ft. Red House Tn. Col. Yates's b. f. Ellen, by Orville, 8st 1 Sir W. Maxwell's gr. c. Viscount Meldou, 8st. 3| b. 2 Viscount Meldon rode by T. Lye, led off, and nade strong riding to the Stand, closely looked after by Ellen, rode in good style by John Day, who at las! got in front, and ran home in fine style, beating the Viscount by a handsome length. Each were favourites with their parties, and the betting in the end came off at even. Match— 500 sov. once round. Gentlemen riders. Mr, Longden's b. g. Bogtrotter, by Alonzo, lOst. ioib. T....: l Mr. Russell's ro. b. Leporello, 10st. 5lb 2 5, 6, aiKl 7 to 4 on the winner. This was a milk and water race. Bog trot ter ( rode by Mr. Platelj, took ihe lead, kept if, and beat his adversary with ease. Mr. Kent rode Leporello. His Majesty's Plate of lOOgs. for all horses, & c.; 4 yrs. 10st. 7lb.; 5yrs. list. 7lb.; 6 yrs. list. 121b.; and aged, 12st.— Four miles. Lord Fitzwilliam's br. c. Confederate, 4 yrs 1 Mr. Payne's h. c. Cadiz, by Ebor, 4 yrg. ........... 2 Mr. Russell's b c. Caccia Pialti, 4 yrs 3 Betting.— Caccia Piatti against the field ; 5 to 1 against Cadiz; and 6 to J against Confederate. This was an admirable race, although rather an eccentric one, as all the Jockeys had waiting orders, which ihey had very great trouble in obeying. At starting, Caccia Piatti, rode by Bob Johnson, hap- pened " to move on a jog- trot iu front; Confederate, rode by. the veteran Clift, could not help being second; and Cadiz, jockied by B Smith, of course pleasingly placed in the rear; they made every movement to keep behind, but it was tbe fate of Caccia Piatti to be in front, and so he kept, very reluctantly, to ihe turn of the corner beyond the stand, and here he made another sham plea ; hut it would not do— and when the worst came to '' Uie worst off he went at a strong canter for about half a mile, when all of a sudden, Bob stopped, and pro. eeeded on a strong uatk, as the others had done in the former procedure. At last, " As needs must when the Devil drives," Cadiz took the lead, and made very strong running until near the betting chair, when Caccia Piatti and Confederate came up, and disputed the remaining ground in fine style— the latter winning tins excellent race by nearly a length. Match— 200, h. ft. 8st. 4lb. each ; 2 miles. Duke of Leeds's br. c. Bluebeard,. walked- over; Mr. Russell's br. c. Mustachio, pd. ft. Tuesday, SEPT. 20. The numbeisbf persons in carriages^ on horseback, and on foot, which crowded: the course this day, male and female, from the highest rank lo the meanest subject, was beyond' calculation and con- ception. The stand each day has been crowded at one guinea a head, iund Ihe net produce of the admissions was declared after ihe St. Leger to Mr. Lockvvood, the judge, to be 2,900 guineas, being nearly 500 guineas more than ever was taken before. The betting on the St. Leger has this year heen so extraordinary as almost to exceed belief. Cleveland has been the principal object of speculation, and about hiirt the fluctuations from the last Boncaster races to the present time have been unprecedented. Every manoeuvre has been resorled to in order to make him a source of profit. One day he has been thrown back, and the next brought up, thus giving ihe knowing ones a certainly of gaining if he won, and of not losing if he was beat ; in fact, techni- cally, he has been a good book horse, and has af- forded ample scope for the inventive nod calculating qualifications of ihe bulls and bears of ihe Betting- room. He has also been the source of very great speculation in all parts of the country, where nothing hot Cleveland was thought of; he was put down as safe lo win, ihe others being- entirely out of the question. The other favourites have also been very extensively speculated oh? but the belting about them has been chiefly guided by public running. Mem noil, in particular, has not varied from his station as first favourite ( except for a few days), when Cleveland headed him ; since the last St. Leger he was brought into high favour by his success at the last Meeting, and confirmed in it by his subsequent performances. About Homer nothing definite was said till the last York Meeting, where he won the 30 sov. Stakes; ibis brought him up, and by a great many good judges he was booked to win; but others considered him too fleshy, and fancied that he was a roarer; but this we doubt, as he came in for the last- mentinned Slakes quite fresh. His trial with Figaro was said to be favourable, and rose him greatly in the betting list, bill the defeat of that horse by Lot- tery was calculated to remove that impression, and he would very probably have receded but for King Catton ( by the same sire) winning the Champagne yesterday ; he is a very powerful horse, and capable of a deal of w ear and tear. Tbe Races commenced with the Produce Stakes of JOOgs. each, h. ft. which was won by Mr. Lamb ton's b. f. Claudine, beating Mr. Houldsworth's b. f. Meeta.— Two paid. 6 and 7 to 4 on Claudine. The winner took the lead, made pretty running, and won a good race by three quarters of a length. James Ilobiuson rode the winner, & Dockory Meeta.

Betting at starting— 3 to I against Memnon ; ( 1 against Uomer ; 5 to 1 against Redgauotlet; 10 to 1 against Alderman ; 12 to 1 against Cleveland ; 17 to 1 against Addy ; 25 to 1 against Pastime; 1000 to 20 against Dauntless. Previous to running, Mr. Lock wood, the judge, went dow n to the weighing room, and addressed the jockeys ( 30)^ saying, " that he wished at this very important moment that every thing relating to the running should be governed in the most upright manner, and in order to gain this desirable point, it was necessary thai they should, when mounted, take their stations, pass by the stand in a body, and return to get ready for Starling; when so done he would pull oft' bis bat and wave it, with the word Off^ and such signal should be deemed a start; but if he saw any thing w rong occur, he should cause two flags, in directions which he pointed out, which would imply a false s/ ari."'— After this the different horses were mounted— each taking his canter- jockeys trying their stirrups, kc. and a lapse of seventeen minutes occurred before they all got together, which gave the speculators an opportunity of viewing the movements and capabilities of t. ie horses, and thereby coming to a final determination in their betting. After a great deal of marching and counter marching, and wheeling about, to get inlo a proper line, at twelve minutes before thtee o'clock, the word off was given, and they started, but it was no go; the colours were hoisted, and back ihey came, having to work themselves into line before they could be brought into re- aetion. In three minutes and a half the signal Was repealed, and all was right. Dauntless jumped off and made very severe run- ning to Ihe hill. Then came up Brother to Addy, who continued the race at a slashing rate to the Red Mouse, where most of tbe scragged ones dropped off. Here Memuon came in front, closely followed by Alderman, and between these two there was fine running till near home, when Memnon shot a- head, and won the Great St. Leger by several lengths, il was a beautiful race, and the greatest part of it was finely contested. Redgauntlet might have had a better station in all probability had he not unavoid ably run against a post placed in a socket to show the course iu a distant part of it, and which he broke to pieces. We understand that the horse has materially injured his leg, or foot; but James Robinson escaped unhurt. Fleur de Lis fell ( crossed, as report says, by a North country jockey), and over him dropped Zirza; but neither of the riders nor horses were injured. Such was the crowded situation of this race, that Aruull, who rode Brother to Addy, and many others, were absolutely obliged to place their knees and legs along their horses' shoulders and necks, having n possible means of ruling otherwise. W. Scott rode Mem iron. The ground was run in three minutes and twenty- three seconds and a half. The renewed Doncaster Stakes, of 10 guineas each, with 20 added, was won by Mr. Lambton" h. c. Buzzard, beating Lord Scarborough's b. m Fair Charlotte, Lord Milton's br. f. Beatrice, and Mr. Watt's b. f. by Whisker.— Twelve paid.— Buz- zard the favourite. Very little betting. The Corporation Plate of £ 50, was won, at 2 heats, hy Mr. Harrison's cb. f. Lady Bab, beating 4 others. JltiMsHancoMg Itttelligsmce. A duel, which terminated fatally, took place on Saturday, at College- hill- gieen, two miles from Epping, on the Chelmsford road. The parties were unknown at the place of meeting, but the deceased turned out to be a gentleman of the name of Arlington, who was conveyed to the I- Jalf Moon, towards Chelmsfoid, where he died on Monday. He was attended by Dr. H ughes, of St. George's- fields, who was on a shooting visit at Holdsworth's, near the spot. The survivor is not known, or at least his name is a secret. The deceased came to the ground with a friend, in a post chaise, and the survivor and another in a gig, and the affair was seen by some husbandrytnen only. The wound was on the left side, below the breast, and the ball had passed through slantingly. Lacey, the horse- stealer, who has committed so many depredations amongst horses and gigs about Cheltenham, and other parts of the West of Eng. land, was taken into custody ( travelling in a stolen gig from Stratford, upon- A von), between Chapel House and Moreton, Worcestershire, on Saturday. His man, who travelled wilh him, was also appre heuded, and his information will disclose a most extensive and extraordinary traffic in horses: he gave information of seven horses in the neighbour hood of Ashford, Kent, waiting for embarkation to the Continent. John Campbell, Esq. Barrister on the Oxford Circuit, has been introduced as a Candidate for the representation of Stafford, " under the auspices of Messrs. A. and C. Flint." Last Monday week, accompanied by Capt. Scarlett ( son of Mr Scar- lett, the barrister), aud attended by the Messrs. Flint, the learned gentleman made his public entry into Si afford, when he declared himself a friend to Catholic Emancipation, and an enemy lo the Corn Laws, There was a gieat consumption of ale while the learned genlleman remaiued in the town; and having completed his canvass, Mr Campbell left Stafford on Wednesday, sure of vic- tory in the approaching contest !—- Many of fhe electors went and enrolled their names on his behalf without giving him the trouble of canvass- ing them.— Mr. Campbell said be was friendly to Catholic Emancipation, not from any regard he had for Popery, but because he thought many would then conform to the Protestant Religion, who were a I present deterred from so doing lest they should be thought to do it from interested motives. 5t cannot be too generally known, that, by an Act past in the last Session of Parliament, the robbing of gardens, orchards, nurseries, & c. is made a felony, and may be punished by transportation for seven years. During the reign of Henry VIII. crows were so numerous in England, and were thought to do so much mischief to fhe farmer, that an Act Was passed, by which every village was compelled lo furnish crow nets for ten years, and the villagers to assemble at stated periods for the purpose of de stroying them. It would seem that this country is a more favourite residence for these birds I ban some others. Linneeus mentions that he never knew more than one shot in Sweden, Their croaking was considered by Virgil as foreboding rain, and, like ihe raven, the crow was considered to be a bird of ill omen. The will of the late Sir John Sutfon, K C 15 Admiral of the White, was proved in Doctors Commons, on the 12th inst. by the Right Hon Beaumont Baron Hotham, the Hon. aud Rev. Frederick Hotham, Clerk, and ihe Hon Sir Henry Hotham, K. C. B. Vice Admiral of the Blue, three of ihe Executors : power for the like purpose being reserved to the Hon. Dame Frances Sutton, widow, the relict, who is also appointed to that trust. The personals were sworn under £ 100,000 The will is dated the 14th of March, 1818. The testator bequeaths to his wife £ 500, to be paid to her immediately after his death, aud all his furni- ture, plate, household property, pictures, books, horses, and carriages. Also such au annual sum as, together with any other settlements, will make up to her £ 1,800 per annum. The maintenance and education of bis son and two daughters are next provided for, as well as that of any other children he might have. The overplus of his property, during their minority, to be for the use of their mother ; and the whole principal to the children at twenty. one, or marriage, with benefit of survivorship at such period. But it is provided lhat in case of his having no more than his then three children, that they shoold each have £ 6,000 only, at twenty- one, or marriage; aud his daughters like sum at their mother's death, his son John Thomas, then becoming his residuary legatee. The testator's copyhold house at Ham Common, is devised to Lady Sutton for her life, aud after her deceasc, absolutely to his son. The Will of the late Lord Radstoch. The will of the late Right Honourable William Lord Radstoek, Baron of Radstock, in the county of Somerset, K. G C B. Admiral of the Red, was proved with eleven codicils, in the Prerogative Court, D tors' Commons, on the 12th instant,, by the oaths of ihe Right Honourable Granville George Waldegrave Lord Radstock, his son, and the Honourable Sir James Allan Park, Knight, two of Ihe executors Sir Abraham Hume, Bart, lite olher executor, hav- ing renounced the trust. The personal property is sworn under £ 80,000. The will in the first [ dace confirms a settlement heretofore made upon Lady Radstock, of £ 400 per annum, bequeaths her £ 500, all the household fur- niture and stock ( except plate aud pictures) in ihe house in Portland. place, and the interest for life of £ 8,000. In the plate also she is to have a life- interest; at her death it is to be reserved for his unmarried daughters, and subsequently to form part of the re- sidue. To his son above mentioned, in consequence of advances already made to him, amongst others a sum of nearly £ 2,000 on his attaining twenty- one ( the whole of bis Lordship's| own patrimony), he makes no further " absolute bequest than £ 1,000, as a proof of bis entire affection and regard: and his daughter Emily Susan Westley is stated to have had £ 4,000 advanced to heron her marriage. The residue is left to all his other children, and, in case of their death under twenly- one, and un- married, or without issue, £ 1,000 is given to Mrs. Morier, Lady Radstock's sister, and the remainder divided equally between the said Emily Susan West- ley and Granville George Waldegrave. By fhe codicils, there is a further bequest of £ 3,000 Consols to her Ladyship for life, with re- version to his son, who has also an immediate be- quest of £ 5,000 consols, and a further provison of one or two thousand pounds is made for Emily and her children. One of the codicils contains particular directions s to the sale of his Lordship's pictures. Tije Por- ait of Charles the First, by Vandyke, brought THE CHURCH — Sir Francis Bacon ( who was always for moderate counsels), when some one was arguing for such a sweeping reformation in the Church of England as would, in effect, leave no Church remaining, said ( o him—" Sir, the subject we talk of is the eye of England, aud if there be a speck or two in the eye we endeavour to takethera off; but he were a strange oculist who would ; pull out the eye." We understand, that the disapprobation which some of ihe Subscribers to the British ami Foreign Bible Society have expressed with regard to the ciiculalion of the Apocrypha, in those pai ls of the Continent wheie the inhabitants are unwilling tu* leeeive ihe Holy Scriptures without that ap- pendage, is by no means universal among the friends of the Institution. Many persons who are themselves most thoroughly satisfied thai no divine authority attaches itself to the writings in question,, yet, considering that the principle of the . Society is not to determine for any people what books are canonical, but to circulate the* Scriptures iu every nation, in the form in which each nation has beeia accusiomed lo receive them, are of opinion, that whatever may be said of the propriety of the measure, it is at least not inconsistent with the rules of the institution to allow Foreign Churches to connect the Apocrypha with the Bible, if they see fit so to do. We are further informed, that the consideration of the whole subject has been entrusted to a Special Committee, consisting of some of the most respectable Members of the Society, from whose piety and judgment there is reason to hope, that such a decision will ere long emanate as will be generally satisfactory. A fe# days since as a gentleman of Brighton was taking an airing in bis carriage towards the Devil's Dyke, he heard a squeaking in a field by ihe road side, and ordered his servant to get over the hedge and discover the cause of it, when it appeared that a stoat had disabled two leverets, which ihe man took up and carried to his master, who after giving them a place in his carriage, observed that they would do for a pudding /— Sussex Advertiser. AN IRISH SOLDIER'S CONTRIVANCE.— Michael Maloney was a private belonging lo an English regiment of infantry, which happened to be stationed in Canada during the American war. At the distance of two or three miles from the quarters of the regiment there was an out- post, at which a sentinel was constantly placed, O. ie day,, when it fell to Moloney's lot to be employed on Ihis lonely service, an unexpected order arrived from head quarters for ihe immediate departure of the regiment. Amidst the hurry and bustle usual on such au occasion, nobody thought of relieving ihe out. post ; aud there the poor Patlander was left io starve with a musket on his shoulder, or lo run the risk of being taken op and shot for desertion. The feelings of hunger, however, having at length got ihe belter of his sense of duty, he relnrned to'quarters without leave; aud finding Shai the regiment was gone, nobody knew whither, he proceeded to a farm house, aud there found employment as a labourer. After a lapse of three years, during which be lived very comfortably, his- regiment came back fo its old quarters. At, first he was terrified at the idea of being taken op for deserter; but that native ingoiuiiy, which ia sometimes whimsically displayed by. his country- men, soon feuggested the means of escaping this imputation. He put on his soldier's dress, shouldered his musket, and took his station at fh « very ont- posl where he had been placed three year ® before. He had been here searcely an hour, when a corpora! belonging fo the Regiment, with hia guard, approached the spot for the purpose of leaving a sentinel upon it. The corporal seeing it already occupied, ciied out u Who the devil are you—- what Regiment do you belong to— who sent you— and how long have you been here >" li Orh9 then, replied Michael, you may well talk of the devil, for sure none but the devil himself could have kept guard so long; don't you see that \ belong to your Regiment; don't you know that some of you left me here three years ago; that none of you ever came to relieve me till this very moment; and havn't you now found me at my post The Hibernian w as immediately conducted to head quarters. Tiie commanding offieer, on bearing his story, received him with kindness ; and the adveulure formed a subject of merriment for some days aflcr. FISHING EXTRAORDINARY ON TTIETHAMES. • The River above bridge on Tuesday presented a curious scene of motley groups engaged in fish-, taking, by divers expedients not contemplated by the statute for that purpose made and provided. The late heavy rains caused the river lo be much swollen, in some parts overflowing its banks, and threatening the adjacent level with a visit similar lo tliat experienced two or three years back, so much to the discomfiture of the live and dead slock of every description upon the neighbouring premises. At ihe turn of the side the heavy swell, acting in conjunction, as is supposed, wilh the thunder- storm of the preceding day, produced a strange effect upon the fish. They ro$ e in shoals to the surface of the water, and, although they did not go to the length which fowls and turkies are represented to do in some countries, exhibit'vng themselves ready cooked, crying " come cat me," they allowed themselves to he taken in great numbers by any hand that deemed them worth the trouble of capture.— In this manner many pails full were caught, and so attractive was the sport, that every hamlet and manufactory on tbe banks of the river above Eambeih was deserted, and every boal manned for the purpose. Business was entirely at a stand; the turn- out was general, and the most unsportsmanlike, and, iu some instances, diverting, schemes were practised to profit by the favourable opportunity. Pails, sieves, soup ladles, aud other descriptions of do- tnestic implements, were variously employed by the women and children on the banks.; A boat load of men, each armed with a sieve, was very successful and made a good haul, lb one prtrfc where the bank is made higher than its natural elevation by a brick wall, some men were seen angling with one of their own number, whom they lowered by the heels to the great peril of his head. — In the centre of the river, well appointed cutters, manned by six or eight oars, suspended the pro- gress of their journey for a season, allowing them- selves to he carried down with the stream, activfSy engaged on both sides in taking the inviting prey » Flounders and eels formed the majority of the fish secured by these means. Barbel, dace, and other varieties, were, however, similarly affected. direct from Madrid by M. - and procured LEOMINSTER RACES.— On WEDNESDAY, a Maiden Stakes of 30 sov. added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sov each.

A GOOD SHOT— A Cockney, on Wednesday last, who was shooting at Wilsdon, fired at a crow, which he missed, but wounded a cow and her calf, and an . old woman who was gathering water- cresses. It was, however, rather a dear shot? as he paid £ 10 to settle the bu » iiies3. from the Cabinet of the King of Spain; that. of Henrietta Marietta, nearly matchless in beauty and expression, also by Vandyke; and a Landscape, by A. Vandevelde, are to be sold for Lady Radstock's benefit. If by auction, to be placed below the twentieth lot, and all friends to be apprised of it, who, he trusts, will not let them be sold for less than their real value. But upon the subject of sale, the testator desires that Mr. Emmerson, of Stratford- place ( whose skill in the arts, and whose integrity, he has for many years experienced), may be con. suited ; who, if he cannot procure private pur- chasers, or an offer from Government, may consign them to Christie for the hammer. His Lordship values them at fifty- one thousand guineas— they con- sist of Italian, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Flemish masters.
