Those persons, however, w hose prophecies time is thus rendering increasingly ridiculous, will endeavour, as far as they can venture, to " hint . a doubt" yvhether too little, after all, has- not been done If 10 taken from 50 leaves 50 still, the deduction of 20, they will suggest, might have left. 60 The best answer to this is, au appeal to the every- dav practice of commercial men. Manu- facturers and trnders. frequent. ly find that a reduction of prices operates an increase of profits by increas- ing Ihe demand But the'y know that there is a point.' at which this reduction must stop; and so there is a poin' in finance, as it respects' every individual commodity, beyond which reduction could not he carried without a clear loss to the revenue But the excellence of the plans of the Chancellor of the Exchequer consists in this - that each remission is, so calculated to give relief to trade, and facility to commerce, as to draw after it, as a natural consequence, that increase of prosperity which furnishes the means for futuie repeals.— New Times. The early part of his Majesty's administration was splendid in military giory ; the subsequent years have been marked by improvements in all our internal circumstances, and by a more decided patronage of the Fine Arts, the adorning of the capital, and a l the other pursuits which become the peaceful leisure of a nation rich iu internal hap- piness and external glory. These are the days, and these the works, which the prophetic eye of our great poet foresaw — Bid harbours open, public ways extend ; Bid temples w orthier of the God ascend ; Bid the luoad arch the dangerous flood contain ; The mole projected, break the roaring main ; Back to his bounds the subject sea command, And roll obedient rivers through the land ; These honours, peace to happy Britain brings ; These are imperial works and worthy Kings ! POSTSCRIPT. LONDON, Mowing Night, Oct. 17, 1825. ter 111 Port Bowen, being eighty days in ciois- iiig the ice. if « e are thus deprived of the satisfac- tion of announcing to our readers that Captain Parry has at length succeeded in solving the gre;: t problem, for which he and his gallant companions have so often encountered danger and hardships, in their most hideous forms, we are yet enabled to state, that the discovery is most probably within 1 each, that the route lies open to the glorious prize, and tiiat an unfortunate accident alone has, to all appearances, snatched it, on the present occasion, from the grasp of our intrepid countrymen. In the summer of last year, the llecla and Fury were fitted out lor this service, the former under the immediate command ' of Captain Parry, the latter under that of Captain Hoppner. Our readers will re- member, that in the first voyage Captain Carry enteied Lancaster Svound, and, steering nearly due west, winteied at Mel- ville Island, having on the way entered an inlet on the left, in a southerly direction called Prince liegeiit's Inlet, whieh was explored to some distance, and found to terminate in an open sea. In the second voyage Captain Parry was directed to enter Hudson's Bay, at a pass- age farther to the South than Lancaster Sound, where he was unfortunately entan- gled in an ice, and was unable to make anv progress. In the meantime, Captain Franklin had proceeded by land, and reached a peninsula, m which the open sea lay to the northward, at a point bearing siuth- west from the discovery already niaile in Prince Regent's Inlet, from which it could only be distant by a very short run, it was the object of the third voyage to connect those two points, there being scarcely any doubt that the sea lay open to Behring's Strait, troin the position at which Captain Franklin had terminated his discoveries. la the last season, the Expedition for this purpose entered Lancaster Sou. id, and ihen Prince Regent's inlet, aud wintered at Port Bowen, on the left or easterly side, in hit. 73. long-.- 89. Their operations in the present se. ison commenced with the most favourable prospects. The sea lay open to the southward and westward, under a cloudless sky J every indication seemed to point to the happy consummation of their wishes, when llie unfortunate circum- stance occurred to which we have before alluded. The expedition had penetrated a little way only soulh- west of the point at winch the discoveries in the first voyage had terminated. The crews were all in high health and spirits, and thev have returned to their native shores without the loss of a man, except two sailors, oue of whom died o! illness previously contracted, the other having lost his lite by accident. \\ e regret the event that has thus, for On Tuesday, ft tittle Saint Sw. illiiiiVChurch, near tlie Close, Winchester, by tlie Rev.

A highly- respectable correspondent has pointed out to our notice one of those iustanVes of per- severing industry in humble life, in which, from a laudable anxiety to better his situation, an indi vidual, unassisted, has already effected what would have been deemed almost impossible, and who, for want of aid, may yet he unable to accomplish the object so diligently sought :—' Thomas Wat kins, who has been a - mason's labourer for the greater part of his life, purchased about an acre of land on the Lea moor Common, the allotment being sold under the Church Stretton, Wistanstow, and Edgton Inclosure Act.

BISHOP OF CHESTER.— In proposing the health of this distinguished Prelate, at a recent civic festival, at Bury, the Eat I of BRISTOL said : Owing to circumstances which have transpired since I bad the honour of addressing you on the occasion of this health being given here, I feel myself imperatively called upon to say a few words respecting that illustrious Prelate and myself it has been, basely attempted, by oue or more of the public prints, to throw obloquy upon the character of the Bishop of Chester, by various surmises and assertions to the effect that he had, in ranking him self with the opponents of the " Catholic Claims," deserted his early professions, and his early friends, when he found by doing so, he could promote his views of aggrandizement. There never," said the Earl, in a most animated and impressive tone, THERE NEVER YVAS A MORE FALSE OR UNFOUND ED ASSERTION SUFFERED TO DISGRACE THE PUBLIC PRESS. I can declare, and I no v declare it upon my honour, that at no period of my acquaintance with Dr. Bloomfield had I the slightest idea of the Catholic cause ever finding in him an advocate • so far to the contrary, the open expression of his sen- timents at all times and on all Occasions, with respect to this important subject, left me full reason to know that he yvould be found a most decided as well as a most powerful opponent to granting further privileges to the Catholics."

The experience they have gained by these re- peated voyages into the Arctic Seas, can- not but conduce of itself most importantly to the preservation of their lives, and to familiarize them with dancess which might otherwise have appeared insurmountable. 1 What is perhaps most to be regretted in the failure . of Captain Parry's expedition to the Arctic Regions is, that it may derange the plans of Captain Franklin, and tiie overland expedition, which was formed in concert with that of Captain Parry. It appears hy a letter received in Edinburgh from Captain Franklin, dated the 2u of Juae, that lie aud his adventurous comrades were at that time 700 miles in advance of Cumberland House. The party were all well, and in good spirits, which had been height ened by the intelligence that the stores had reached the d'.^) ot at the first wintering station, ' t heir progress had been greatly impeded by the falls on Mackenzie iliver, which are represented as inferior only to those of Niagara. Yesterday Philadelphia Papers were received to tlie 20th ultimo They contain information from Lima to the 19l! i of June. At that time Callao. was holding out, and opinions were very much divided as to the probability of its fall ; some anticipating its surrender in two months, while others maintain- ed, that it was provisioned for a great length of time ; and as to taking. it by force that seemy to be quite out of the question. The castle mounts up- wards of 200 brass- 24- pounders, and a number of smaller cannon, aud it is surrounded by a ditch 7D feet w ide. he subsequently obtained a w ind and another ladder; and the two ladders, being fastened together by hazel twigs, he still perseveres in his work, and has sunk lo the depth of 43 feet.— The food of this, persevering labourer, dnriug the period of this work, has been of the coarsest kind, and, bent on his project, he braver every privation. Several colliers from the Clee Hills and from Staffordshire have seen his work, and from the appearances they have ub doubt there is coal, at no very great distance. As the discovery and procuring of coal ou this spot would be a circum stance of great advantage to the adjacent pro. pert ies, and as poor Wat kins, if unassisted, may be compelled to relinquish his voluntary task, our Correspondent is of opinion that our giving the circumstances publicity may ; have the effect of obtaining for Watkins thai aid in his undertaking which can alone bring it to the wished for ter- mination. SINGULAR DOMESTICATION OF A THRUSH. [ Fiom a Correspondent.]—- In the Spring of 1824, a thrush, which had domesticated itself in a surprising degree, constructed a nest ( while hatch- ing her brood) in the cavity of a glass bottle, put in the usual manner in a bottle rack nearly ad- joining the back door of Mr. A. Thompson's dwelling house, at Uptoh Magna, in this county. The same bird has late I y ( May, 18,2 5,) i; e t u r n ed to the former residence, has pot it into Complete order, and appears more familiarised'] to the haunts of men" than' on her first visit; she feeds out of the hand of an acquaintance, and suffers ( without any apparent offence) an egg or two to be taken from her nest. At Leicester Fair, on Monday, the 10th inst. a large quantity of sheep were penned,, and they went off at good prices. Fat beef sold briskly, and store beasts went off fully up to late vaiiie.' On Tuesday, the Cheese Fair was well attended and supplied, and little remained unsold at the close. The great bulk of the best cheese was bought at 73s. to 75s per ewt. j only a few select dairies reached a higher price. WAXES. MARRIED. On the lst inst.

Just previous to our Paper going to press last week, Mr. MORELAKl), of the Theatre, came to our office and wrote a paragraph advertisement for insertion, an. nouncing his Benetit Yor Friday liigiit last; and in which paragraph tlie name of a noble and' gallant General was mentioned. Not suspecting that a person filling the office of Stage Manager in a respectable Theatrical Company would dare to make use of the name of an individual of rank without authority, we inserted the paragraph as written by Mr. MonEtANl). We have to regret that our reliance on Mr. M. was so inlich misplaced, as we have the most unquestionable authority for stating, that the noble and gallant personage alluded to was perfectly unaware of tile use to which bis name was applied, until our Journal reached his mansion on Wednesday. - Mr. MOHEI. AN1), perhaps, may pride himself on the success of his manoeuvre as it relates to the proceeds of his Benefit; but we can assure him that such disgraceful practices must tend to degrade bis profession in public estimation, and consequently to injure those members of the Company who have yet to solicit tb. public favour.

Ifton Hill, Monmouthshire. CONJUGAL ATTACHMENT.— A remarkable funeral took place in the cemetery of St. John' Chuieh, at Brecknock, on Thursday last. Ann the wife of Richard Blair, Esq. aged 34, died in March last, near Halifax, in Nova Scotia, win she was then buried. Her husband had the body exhumed, and arrived with it at Brecknock, the place of the deceased's nativity, on the eve of the second funeral. The reason assigned for this ex traordinary transaction, is the fulfilment of a promise made by Mr. Blair to his wife in her last illness, to bury her at Brecknock. We under- stand Mr. Biair is a native of Dudley or its neigh bourhood. The singularity of the occurrence at- tracted a most numerous assemblage of persons to witness the solemn ceremony, and all seemed deeply affected by the scene. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRFCK.— The brig Ac- tive, of Whitehaven, Johnson, master, from Quebec, laden with timber for Cardigan, being at anchor in that Bay during the violent gale of Friday ae'nnight, was obliged lo cut her cables, and run on shore at low yvater. In a few minutes her bottom went out, and the decks giving way, the Captain and two seamen were unfortunately drowned. Those on board, consisting of Mrs. Johnson, and nine seamen, remained on the wreck, poor Mrs. Johnson being lashed in the foretop. Several boats came to their assistance, the crews of which at the most imminent peril of their lives, and with persevering courage, contended yvith the tremendous element for Upwards of three hours, when they succeeded in rescuing the whole from a watery grave. The vessel in a few minutes became a complete wreck; but the greatest part of the cargo and materials are saved. It reflects great credit on the inhabitants that every article which came on shore has been delivered to the owners. CALAMITOUS SHIPWRECKS.—-- Last week, about 25 trading vessels bound to the westward, were detained for several days in Fishguard Roads, by contrary winds. On the night of Thursday, the weather being more favourable, they all set sail towards St, David's, when a most tremendous gale arose from the North west, & nearly the yvhole were driven| ashore. The following are the particulars of the loss as far as we have been able to ascertain ; Horatio schooner, Maccarty master, with eight men on board, laden with sheep ami pigs, from Kiiisalc, Ireland s the crew excepting one man were saved by letting down ropes from the top of the rocks, a depth of 120 feet ; the vessel went to pieces shortly after.— The Blessing, from Pwllheli totally lust; crew perished. Linnett, of Aberyi with, on shore at Abermawr, crew saved.— Jane, Evans, fi • om Port Madock, hound to Car. 1111, with slates, on shore at Abcrbach; crew saved Brothers, of Mllford, Richards, from Meinel In Haverfordwest, wrecked al Abermawr, crew saved The B.' tsey, H. liibes, of Aberyslwilh, got safe to Aherca^ tle— Two others returned to tile Roads, and three are reported to have reached Milford in safely The Bee, of Aberystwyth, was lost to Ihe vvesl ward of Trigwiot, vvitli all her crew, in a heavy gale, on Thursday last. AI our Sheep and Pig Fair, on TBesday, there was a good supply, and there being plenty ol buyers, prices looked up. Prime fal wethe.- s sold from 7ii. to 7 ;< l ami other sorts in pro- portion. Fat pigs 6 § d. ; stores ralher better than last fair.— On Wednesday, there was a good supply of Cattle, anil plenty of buyers: prime fat beasts averaged 6} l. others 6,1. Stores fetched good prices, There was a very large supply of But er, ami good lols fetched from Is. to 12jil per lb. A l.- w prime dairies of Cheese fetched 72s^ percwi.; much of the belter soi l of Cheese went at from 60s. to 68s. per cwt. and inferior in proportion. ISacon 9d. to 9| d. per lb. Hams 11( 1. to Is.— Oil the whole, more business was transacted at ibis Fair than has been remembered for a long series of years. Hops. — The prices at Chester Fair, last week, were as follow -.— New Hops £ 18. 18s. to £ 21. 0s. 1824 £ 15. 15s. lo £ 17. 17s 1822 £ 10. 0s. to £ 2. 12s Old Olds £ 6. Os. to £ 10. 0s. WEYHII. L FAIR.— This Fair opened early on Monday morning, ihe 10th inst.: business com- mencing wilh Ihe lUlu of day. The number of sheep penned exceeded 150,1 00! Down ewes fetched from 27^. lo 44s.; some lols of a very superior breed as high as 47s. Down lambs 16s. to 33s. ; some as high as 36s. Wethers from 27s. to 46s, some- fat ones 50s. Horse Fair.— The shew of horses was remarkably good, as regards strong cart colts, and the prices immoderately high. There was a fine shew of excellent riding horses; the string of hunting horses, not so numerous as in some former years, but such as were of the first rate and price. There was also a fine shew of Flanders mares ; the. v are remarkable for size and colour, and with crests like the English stallion, Ho/ is— The Hop Fair did not commence till Wednesday ; the number of pockets of New Hops grounded this year was about 1500 ; and about 301) nickels of Old Hops, from various dales to 1819. Vlany packets are grounded from Worcester, Here- fordshire, and Kent. Ou Wednesday evening, however, not a Hop was sold ! The price asked for country Hops was £ 28 per cwt. while Furnhain Hops were otiering at £ 31. 10s. per cwt. * Cheese.— The quantity of cheese grounded this year is comparatively small, and the sale at first was far from brisk ; and the prices were as under : two years old Somerset, finest Sis. ; one year ditto, 68s. to 76s.; North Wiltshire, 6 > s to 70sl— a prime lot or two realizing a few shillings a cwt. more; Skim 30s. to 45s. The price of Iron has suffered the depression which all conversant yvilh the state of the trade anticipated. In Staffordshire the fall has been £ 1. 10s. per ton last quarter day, and £ 2 per ton shortly before, making iu all a reduction of £ 35 per cent. The consequence of this reduction of price has been au attempt pretty generally to reduce the workmen's wages, which have been of late unusually high even when viewed relatively to the advanced price of the commodity produced. Many have closed their works with this intention, and the attempt, which has only one object in view, will have the additional effect of bettering the market by preventing any thing like a glut, and perhaps may even give a favourable turn lo prices. Boscow, a butcher, and Mucgee, an Irish stone- mason, from Liverpool, fought a severe- battle ou Tuesday, at a place called Ihe Lache Eyes, near Chester, for a purse ot' 100 sovereigns Macgee was beaten, after a severe fight of 39 rounds. AA immense multitude witnessed the fight.

MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE— On Monday week, fnur men and two boys met their death at Catnaiii " Colliery, Llanelly, Carmarthenshire, bv what is called knocking fhe stocky which sign, ties the bursting or breaking in of the water upon them, from the cavity of an old or wrought coal work. They were heard calling piteously to their companions for tight, but it was out ot tbe power of any human being to afford them assistance. What adds to the calamity is, that the four men left large families, totally unprovided f > r ; there are n it less than from 15 to 20 fatherless ch- ldretr after them. THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.— The common topic of conversation in the law circles is the in ten tion of Chief Justice Abbott, to resign. The indefatigable industry of that Learned Judge has produced a visible effect upon bis health. Illness- has been gradually increasing; Riiiriosir says liis Lordship's successor oa the Bench will be the Attorney General. Ou.' the 28th instant, the Lord Chief Justice vviil sit in the Court of King's Betub, Westminster. Great consternation has been caused at New- York, by the failures of the cotion speculators at Liverpool and Manchester. At the latter town, there have been three failures of cotton speculators within the last few days ; one. owing about £ 10,000; another about £ 25,000, and the third nearly £ 50,000. The best composition proposed, we believe, is 5**. in the pound, and the lowest Is or is, 3d. Two of the parties have failed before tinder Circumstances pretty similar. Mr. T. Pearsall, of Willsbiidge. in Gloucester shire, has obtained a patent for constructing the rafters and laths of roofs, and other framings of buildings of iron plates on edge. SPHINX ATROPOS — On Thursday evening, one of these beautiful and superb moths entered the shop of Mr. Roberts, grocer, Church street, Here- ford. It is about 2| r inches long, and measures4| inches from the points of ils win » s when they are extended— ihe variegated and brilliant colours of its body aud wings, are beautiful, and entitle it t the distinction with which it is regarded hy natural- ists. This species of moth is quoted by that cele bra ted naturalist, the late Dr. Shaw, as the finest type of the resurrection of man, as, in ils pupa > tate, it lies buried in the earth for nine mouth's: then, leaving its temporary tomb, it mounts into the air, arrayed in lran. sceodatit. ly beautiful colours PULMONARY DISEASES.— A writer in the Exeter Gazette says It- may be of service to the numerous class of our community labouring under pulmonary ailiictious, as well as to those, who are called upon for the professional treatment of them, to know that iu cases of huemophysis, or where an effusion of blood takes place from . the lungs, from a morbid disorganization: of their structure, that i prompt and infallible resource might be easily pro. vided, so as to meet the occasion with a safe and decided etiect. From tiO to 25. drops of iiie spirit of turpentine ( as the age or strength of the patient might indicate) in a glass of water will occasion an instantaneous collapse of the mouth of the vessel producing this distressing and dangerous affliction. — The great Dr Bailiie, when lecturing - on the subject of the Stings, made it a rule to stop $ bort and deviate from his anatomical discussions, iu order to arrest the attention of his pupils ( one of whom I was) to this important fact. He confessed his ignorance of the mode by which this specific produced this sudden impression ; for long before it could have acted through the medium of the circulation, the object was generally effected ; and I may add, from the experience of thirty years in the profession, this treatment had obtained such practical confirmation, that j have never failed to instruct such patients to provide themselves with a phial of the above medicine, so as at all times to be armed with immediate relief, for want'of which life is rendered precarious, and not unfrequently lost, through the miseries of suffocation in ihe depth of the night, a recent example of « hich lias induced me to give publicity to the above." ® RO TIC ACT, Either from Year to Year, or for a Term of Years, and may be entered upon at Lady- Day next, ALL that com t nodi ous MANSION HOUSE, called the MANOR HOUSE, fit for the Residence of a genteel Family, situate in the Vil- lage of WOO RE, in the County of Salop., together wiih the Out- Offices, Gardens, Hot- House, Plea- sure Grounds, and about Fifteen Acres of excellent Meadow and Pasture LAND lying contiguous thereto.

For further Particulars apply ( if by Letter, Post- paid) to Messrs. BECKETT and JONES, Solicitors, Brooklands/ near Woore aforesaid, KING CHAIILES THE FIRST. Lingard, in bis late History, gives a more full and interesting description of the execution or murder of the above unfortunate Monarch tha i is to be found in any other work. St is as follows : — " The King proceeded through the long gallery ( of Whitehall), lined on each side with soldiers, who, far from insulting the fallen Monarch, ap- peared by their sorrowful looks to sympathise with his fate. At the end an aperture had been made in the wall, through which he stepped at once upon the scaffold. It was, hung with black: at the further end were seen the two executioners, the block, and the axe: below appeared iu arms several regiments of horse and foot; and beyond, as far as the eye was permitted- to reach, waved a dense and countless crowd of spectators. The King stood collected and undismayed amidst the apparatus of death. There was iu his countenance that cheerful intrepidity, in his demeanour that dignified calmness, which had characterised in the hall of Fotheringay his Royal grandmother, Mary Stuart, it was his wish to address the people: but they were kept beyond the. reach of his voice by the swords of the. military ; and therefore con- fining his . discourse to the few persons standing with him on the scaffold, he took, he said, the opportunity of denying, iu the presence of his God, jhe crimes of which he had been accused. It was not to him, but to the Houses of Parliament, that the war and all its evils should be charged. The Parliament had - first invaded the rights of the Crown by claiming the command of the army; it had provoked hostilities by issuing commissions for the levy of forces, before he had raised a single man. But he had forgiven all, even those, whoever they were ( for he did not desire to know their names), who had brought him to his d/ ath. He did more than forgive them, he prayed that they might repent. But for that purpose they must do three things : they must render to God. his due, by settling the Church according to the Scripture; they niust restore to the Crown those rights which belonged to it bv law ; and they must teach, the people the distinction between the Sovereign and the subject; those people could not he governors who were to be governed, they could-. not. rule, whose duty it was to obey. Then, in allusion to the offers formerly made to him by the army, he concluded with these words :—* Sirs, jt \ yas for the liberties of the people, that I ani come here. If I would have assented to an arbitrary sway, to have all things changed according to the. power of tbe sword, I needed not to have come hither; and therefore I tell you ( and I pray God it be not laid to your- charge), that 1 am. the martyr of the people.' " Having added, at the suggestion of Dr. Juxon i I die a Christian according to the prof.-' ssioii of the Church or" England, as J found it. left- me bv my father,' he said, addressing himself to the Prelate — 4 I have on my side a good cause, and a gracious God * " BISHOP. 4 There is but onjyst. age more : it is turbulent and troublesome, but a short one. It will carry you from earth to heaven, and there you will find joy and comfort.' " KING.—* 1 go from a corruptible to an incor ruptible crown.' 45 BISHOP. Yon exchange an earthly for au eternal crown— a good exchange.' " Being ready, he bent his neck on the block and after a short pause, stretched out his hands as a signal. At that instant the axe descended ; the head rolled'from the body ; arid a deep groan burst from the multitude of the spectators. But they had Ino leisure to testify their feelings: two troops of horse dispersed then* la different directions.* 7 On Tuesday last, another Banking Establish- ment was opened in the flourishing town , of Lei k, « ' f « !> e firm of Bad ual I, Ellis, Badimll, Spilsbuiv, and Gi uso.

Mr. H. was on his return from Rogeley' Races, when the high spirited hoise bu wliirh he was mounled, took fright, and, becoming quite ungovernable, rail away. After ihe- mum d had galloped a distance of about t* o md w, and passed the end of the lane which leads to the residence of the young gentleman's father, it. became more manageable, and was temn rait ly carrying its master towards h s home, when it is supposed, some thing again occurring to a a no., it suddenly started, and galloping down the Ian , came in contact with some rail- a few \ ards h- vo ui Silkmore house, and threw its rider with extreme loleuce head foremost against the trunk of a tree* Fhe skull of the unfortunate young gentlcunu was fractured iu so dieadful a m. iuuer as to leave no doubt that he was instantly killed: ' Fhe father of the deceased, aceoinpoiied by a servant man, who had been alarmed by the appearance of the horse without its rid r at his mister's ^. » to, was the first who < liscovered t he lifeless corpse'of but mly son!

Two respectable young m " u, t'. u uiers" sonsj Abel Smith and Thomas Bourne, mn together at friend's house, and of the party was a female. also of respectable parentage, whose favour, it app- ars, both these young men aspired in obtain. In the course of the afternoon a walk was agreed upon, and on ihe point which of the two should be favoured with the arm of the female in question, altercation arose b'tween the young men, which terminated by Bourne striking Sm iti a ioleut blow on the side, from the « if. ct of which he died instantly ! Verdict of the Con ner's jury, Manslaughter.— It is somewhat singular, thai the female in question, who was the remote but innocent cause of this melancholy event, bad to mourn the loss of a former lover, with w hom she was on the eve of marriage, and whose death was occasioned by the upsetting of a boat on Alsagcr Meer, not a long tune since. The Baton of Renfrew great timber ship fioin Quebec sailed at the la'ter end of August ; her cargo is 9515 tons.

The wreck alluded to was generally consul, red tn those on board the Euphrates to be pait of the large timber ship Columbus,- lost m her passage back to Quebec : On 25th September, an alarm of a vx reck was given, and it became general throughout the ship. Some, asserted that, there were tvveuty men ou if, others ten ; indeed so it did appear. Tbe first feeling of every man on board was to save their lives. We were at the time under a very heavy press of sail, goingabout seven knots, with a heavy sea. With great difficulty we gotin sail, and up. backed the main topsail, anil brought her From the extreme heavy sea, we had great difficulty in getting the boat down, When the second officer and four sailors jumped into it, at tiie risk of their lives. We were at the time about a quarter of a mite from jhe wreck ; it was then rolling at a tremendous rate, and looked truly awful. The officer in the boat dated not approach very near, but was able to see that it was an enormous mass of timber bolted through, with two steps ; one on one side, aud five or six large timbers sticking upright. 1 am happy to say, there were no men on it The officers in the boat sav, it was about 70 or 80 feet long and 50 broad, but I think much larger We fell in with it about 400 miles from the land, in the exact track of the homeward- bound ships from the East, and West Indies ; and should a- ny ship go on board of her, 1 would not give much, for the vessel afterwards. There is no knowing what injury this floating machine may do. Bv a reference to Capt. Meade, commanding the Euphrates, her exact situation may be known, and steps adopted to destroy or bring her home : she would well pay for the undertaking.**.

THE TEMPLE OF VESTA. This beautiful Temple, which stands on ihe very spot where the eye of taste might wish to have it placed, and on which it must ever rep > se with delight, is one of ihe most attractive features of the scene, and perhaps gives to '! ivoli its greatest charm. Independent of the situation, it may serve as a model of architecture ; so perfect and so ex- quisitely beautiful are its design, its symmetry, and proportions It is believed to be of'the Augustan age. The small circular eel la is surrounded with a portico, which formerly consisted of eighteen Co. , rinihian columns, of which ten only are now stand- ing. Fortunately they are left ou tlie side most essential to ihe beauty of the view ; and those which are fallen tend to give it the interest and picturesque character of a ruin, without destroying Its beauties as a building. The foliage of the capitals is of the olive; the frieze is sculptured with ranis' heads and festoons of flowers ; and il is remarkable, that the columns, which are of Tibur- tine stone, have no plinths. It is the fashion now, merely because it is circular, to call it the Temple of Vesta ; but this was a com moil form of ancient temples, and by no means exclusively appropriated to that Goddess. Why, therefore, may not the famous Temple of the Sybil have bepn circular also? Does it not exactly answer to the situation ? Is it not still Albunea alta? - the Domus Albuneae resonantis? It need scarcely be observed lhat Albunea, the Tiburtine Sybil, was one of the ten gifted maids whose books of prophecy were preserved in the Temple of Jupi ter Optimus Maximus, and received as the oracles of Italy. The whole height of the Temple appears, from Desgodelz, to be about thirty. three feet. Not far from it are the remains of another ancient temple, of an oblong form, now metamorphosed into the church of St. Giorgio, with a portico of I four Ionic columns in front. A sepulchral fi<> ure The London Dock Company have nearly com- pleted a wall round 14 acres of ground in Fawdon- fields, adjoining Iheir present dock, and the exca vat ion of seven acres of ground for additional water- room is about one- third finished. From the number of persons employed, and the exertions which arc making, it is computed that the whole of this work will be finis'hed in the Course of the year 1826; and that yvhen completed, with the buildings, additional accommodation will be afford- ed for 70 ships, of the average burden of 300 tons; for upwards of 10,000 tons of general merchan- dise ; and vault room for 10,000 pipes of wine and spirits The Company are also proceeding rapidly in the formation of vaults within the pre- sent dock, capable of housing 8,500 pipes of wine or spirits. ANOTHER NEW BRIDGE.— The thirst for im. provement of capital has led to a new project, namely, the erection of a stone bridge over the Thames, from the Horse Ferry, Westminster, to Lambeth. Considerable sums, it is said, have been subscribed to promote this undertaking. There can he no doubt of the utility of such a bridge. We are surprised that some of our contempo- raries have nol been struck with one circumstance iii the late Proclamation, which operates most power- fully in " favour of tbe Greeks, and more than in- demnifies them for the inconvenience ( which they have brought on themselves) of the prohibitory part. We allude to the last paragraph. His Majesty there " enjoins his subjects strictly to observe, as well towards the Ottoman Porte and the Greeks, as towards all other belligerents, with whom his Majesty- is at peace, the' duties of neutrality, and to respect, in all and each of them, the exercise of those belligerent rights, which his Majesty has always claimed to exercise when his Majesty has himself been unhappily engaged in war." Here we find a distinct acknowledgment by Great Britain, that the Greeks are entitled to exercise f*; e ve v same belli gerent rights which we ourselves exercise when we are engaged in war. And yvhen is this acknow- ledgment made? It is at a time when Austria denies- th ose rights to the Greeks altogether, aud France limits the exeicise of them by tbe maxim of ree ships free goods" Such a recognition from such a power as Great Britain is worth an army lo the Greeks. At least, it is even- handed neutrality.- New Times. A letter from the Cape of Good Hope of ihe 19th of July states, lhat the Secretary to ihe Burgher Senate, who had absconded after burning his books, has been apprehended and lodged in prison. It is also stated that Mr. Wilfoerforce Bird, the Comp I roller of the Customs, has been suspended from his office. A private letter from the Cape of Good Hope, dated July 5, says, " Our bank is iu a most desperate state, and there is no money whatever in the Government coffers.

MANCHESTER MEETING, 1X26— At the sug- gestion of, and w ithjhc unqualified approbation of a number of sporting gentlemen who frequent the races, the spirited proprietor has determined upon appropriating four days next year to the amuse- ments of ihe Turf, at Kersall moor, to commence on Tuesday m Whitsun week. This appears to have been rendered necessary from the great addition which has been made of late years to the stock of Sweepstakes. Another alteration is likewise con- f cm plated, that of entering the horses on Saturday instead of Mondaywhich has heretofore been the case. The Larva of Inserts, which abound in stagnant wa'er* at this period of the year, have often been known to produce distressing complaints when taken into tbe human stomach. A case of this nature rs related by Dr. Yule, in the Philosophical Journal. A young iadv had been afflicted ' or about a year General Bertrand, so well known for his attach- ment to Napoleon, is now building a very large cotton spinning factory in the suburb Madelaiue, at Lisle It will cost 1,200,000 francs ( aboul £ 48,000). Some time ago, a man and a woman called at the vaults of a respectable wine and spirit mer chant, in Chester, and asked what was the price of the best French Brandy ?— Why, Sir, ( was the reply) the best is 26s. per gallon, but we have in ferior articles." He was requested to show some of his genuine British Brandy, at that time selling at 12s. the gallon. The flavor yvas highly ap- proved of, and an order for twelve gallons yvas immediately given, and as prompt payment is the soul of business, the cash accompanied the Older. The customer was asked how he wished to have it forwarded? " Oh, we'll manage that," said the stranger, and introducing his hand into the pocket of his inexpressibles, he pulled out several bladders, and bio wed into them, secundum arfem. Into these yvas the Brandy introduced, and three of them were given to the female, who, suspending them around her girdle in front, and covering them With her apron and cloak, instantly assumed the outward and visible appearance of being enciente! The man placed his division of the purchase under his top coat, aud out of the shop marched this mysterious couple. In an hour or two they re- turned for a similar quantity, and continued their spirited orders that and the following days, till one hundred and twenty gallons yvere disposed of, and no more Brandy yvas to be had^ Curiosity now prompted the Brandy merchant to ask how they had disposed of such a large quantity of liquor in so short a time? " Whv, the fact is ( said the fellow, in a very candid manner) we hawk it about to gentlemen's and tradesmen's houses, as smug gled French Brandy; we have plenty of customers at twenty four shillings for it— and the last twelve gallons we sold to ," But we will not say who it was sold to, as we know the purchaser would deem such a disclosure a grOss reflection on his taste; we shall content ourselves, therefore, by stating, that he is still in the land of the living, although he may continue to hold intercourse wilh spirits! Thus in about three days did these conscientious hawkers of French bladdered brandy contrive to pocket a clear profit of seventy- two pounds— besides what they might have picked up by their dealings with others.

THE I. ATF DUCHESS OF DORSET'S WILL.— The will of the late Most Noble Arabella Diana Duchess of Dorset, was proved iu Ihe Preroga- tive Court of Canterbury, on the 30th ult. by the oaths of the executors, the Hon Charles Cecil Cope Jenkinson ( Ihe brother), and Samuel Foister, Esq. The whole of the real estate is given in moieties li* her Grace's sons. in law, the Earls of Plymouth and De la Warr, for their lives, and afterwards to- iler daughters, their Countesses, and their respec- tive issue. The furniture, pictures, and other ornamental articles at Knole and Bockhurst, which she had power to dispose of, are directed to be sold j the produce to be applied in ihe purchase of free- holds, to be setlled in the like manner; the residue of the personal estate is to be similaily applied. The testator's plate, diamonds, and personal orna. ments are all given to her daughter, Lady De la Warr; and it is assigned as a reason for so be- queathing them, that the Countess of Plymouth is already possessed of a- H requisite articles of that nature. There is a codicil, containing chiefly annuities and other bequests to friends, and ap- parently servants and former pensioners of her Grace; also £ 300 each to her sisters, the coun- tesses of Abovne and Verulam ; £ 100 to her brother, the Hon. Mr. Jenkinson ; and £ 300 to Mr. Forsfer, as a compensation for his trouble as executor. She desires to he buried as plainly as possible, in the family vault at Withmgbam Church.

What becomes of him after death, I am not casuist enough to de- termine. The felicity of a married man never stand ® still ; it flows perpetual, and strengthens in its pas- sage : it is supplied from various channels ; it de- pends more on others than himself. By a union with the jjrnteeleat, most polished, most beautiful part of the creation, h> » mind is harmonised, his manners softened, his soul animated by ihe tenderesl, live- liest sensations. The house of a married man is his paradise ; be never leaves if vi ithnut regie*, never returns to it but wilh gladness-— tbe friend of his sotil, the Wife of his hbsoui, welcomes his approach wilh susceptibility ; joy flushes her cheek— mutual are their transports.

Town- hall— Lord Viscount Mandevdie was among usually severe. She became daily more emaciated and weak, and yvas concluded to be dying of incurable decline, when ( a violent fit of coughing coming- on) a number of insects of the coleopterous kind were observed among the ejected contents of the stomach, mixed with a considerable quantity of blood. After this, with verv simple means, ihe patient daily recovered her health. There is every reason to believe thai many of the stomach com- plaints, which baffle the best medical advice, owe their origin to auimaleulas taken in the stomach, ither in the state of ova or larva, in the interstices of fruits and vegetables, and in river or pond water As it is probable that much greater mischief arises from the use of impure water, it is recommended to idithose who are obliged to use pond or river water ( particularly at this season of the year, and after an unusually hot summer), lo boil it before use, at tiie onlv mode of destroying the anitnalcn'se. Mr. Ferrar, the Coroner who presided at the celebrated Oldham inquest, refused to allow the reporter for the Manchester Guardian to be present at the recent Inquest on ihe persons murdered near Bury. Lancashire. The Coroner said the ends of justice would be defeated by any report of the proceedings being published, and asserted that a Coroner's Inquest was not a Public Court al which any person could demand to be present as a matter of right.-— The reporter was in consequence put out of the room ; and ihe proprietors of the Manchester Guardian intend to bring the question before a legal tribunal. The trial of the four workmen implicated in the combination and the disorders to which il led in tlie vicinity of Rouen, is terminated. They have been found guilty in different degrees, and have been sentenced, one to death, for an attempt at homicide in the course ot the riot ; two to forced ' labour for twelve years, and the last to eight years' imprisonment. They have all appealed to the Tribunal of Cassation ; but the only advantage ihe guests, and took the public occasion of avowing himself a candidate for the representation of the county of Huntingdon, on Prolestaut principles, and in opposition to Lord John Russell EATON, NEAR CHESTER— The Earl of Gros. venor's splendid seat at Eaton Hall, deserves particular attention ; and strangers will find no lifficulty in obtaining access to the Abbey. The Hall is a modern structure, aud with, the grounds, is stated to have cost the monstrous sum of £ 700,000 Tbe gardens are laid out with the best tasle, and an artificial river has been introduced through them at considerable expense, which has fine picturesque effect, from different points, and from several rooms in the house. So much care has heen taken to make every thing perfect, that the Earl purchased a track of land merely to obtain a peculiarly fine gravel for his garden walks; and the gravel is so well rolled, that it presents a surface almost as smooth as glass, producing at certain points lo the eye, an effect similar to that of the Mirage of the Desert. The Hall was built bv Porden, and is a magnificent specimen of the modern florid Gothic. Grandness and comfort are united in an extreme degree iu the principal apart ments, and even the largest and most stately seem calculated for the uses of every day domestic life The remark made at St. Peter's, that the fine pro portions reduce the size to the eye, may be also applied to Eaton, and not in the doubtful sense it is given to St. Peter's, for it is a positive beauty to these apartments, and the subject of general re- mark. The library far exceeds all others for its richness— The terrace before the Hall is a magni- ficent conception, aud heightens the general effect. It resembles the terrace at Versailles, and the orangerie. Lord Belgrave and his beautiful young wife, the pride of Ihe Gowers, and the sweetest flower of English nobility, occupy apartments in language of their profession, a spewing up," aud consequently render it always wet and dirty 8thlv.

That ii cannot be denied that this would be a sacrifice, requires merely the consideration that if you divest a, tow n of its beautiful and healthy walks, and substitute those of a contrary description, von not only destroy its chidf ornamental features, but thereby lop oft' one of the inducements which lead strangers to settle in if. desist it, therefore, as inimical to your interest; for you cannot, but be prospectively injured by it. If you despoil your walks, von will, I reiterate, cut off au inducement ; if you gradually improve them and your tow n, you will find your population increase, and a commensurate degree of prosperity. Resist as a bad precedent ; resist all such innovations; for 1 have heard it suggested that it was in contemplation even to convert the Quarry into building sites. For itiine own part, I would unhesitatingly say, in the energetic language of Shakspeare — 44 Curse on the innovating hand attempting it." And lastly, a repugnance to innovation, without it brings along with it a commensurate degree of improvement. These, Gentlemen, are some of the characteristic features which constitute, in my humble opinion, the grounds of opposition,, and which I cannot but apprehend you will consider as sufficiently important to juniifj yoa in resisting the intended alteration. which they would derive from the admission of I one wing of the Abbey. There are few private their appeal - would be a short delay; for a new f trial being granted solely on the ground that some formalities had been omitted in the former, there J could he no difference in the' ultimate result.

A gentleman, a few years ago, undertook to form a table of the languages from which they were derived, and the result of his labour was, that 6,732 were derived from the Latin, 691 Dutch 106 German 75, Danish 50 Icelandic 31 Gothic 15 Teutonic 6 Irish 4 Flemish 3 Syriac 2 Irish and Erse 1 Irish and Scottish 1 Persian 1 Frisec 1 Uncertain. 4812 French 1148 Greek 211 Italian 95 Welsh 56 Spanish 50 Swedish Hebrew 13 Arabic 4 Runic 4 Erse 3 Scottish ' 1 Turkish 1 Portuguese 1 Persic ! 665 Saxon Last week, as a bird of the cormorant kind was flying over Hi? river, near ftipoo, it snapped op i fish, which just at that m nVient had made a leap from the water; while the bird was devouring his prey he was shot on the banks of the liver, and o i being opened, a gold broach, of the vaiue of te guineas, was found in. his maw, A similar circum stance happened about three uiomhs ago near Dewsbury people who lead a more amiable or retired domestic life than these noble families. So strict are they in setting a good example to their servants, that they attend Divine Service every morning and ight at ten o'clock in the Chapel. The property of Lord Grosvenor is immense, and it accumulates every day under his able management. His in- come, at present, exceeds £ 250,000 a year, and leases falling in in a short tune will give it a vast increase. The very nomination of lives in leases, for the accommodation of tenants, produces £ 10,009 a- year. YLW TREE — In the original charter for build- ing the Church at Perone, in Picardy, dated in the year 684, a clause yvas inserted, directing the proper preservation of a yew tree, which was iu existence in the year 1790, about 1100 years after this notice of il in the charter— a remarkable in siaucc of duiatiility of this species of wood. CHARACTER AND PROPERTY— Baron Gar- row, in Ins charge to the jury at the Lincoln Lent Assize in 18! N, in the cause Butter v. Clarke, re- marked, u In the course of my experience in courts of justice, I have observed that juries, in estimating damages, are much more tenacious of infringe- ments on property than on character. This to me is unaccountable: for what is property when character is gone? Character is far more valuable than wea til, and when attacked unjustly, com. pensatioa cannot b* yielded with too liberal a baud/* La Place's account of the Astronomy of Sir Isaac Newton, complete within the number. The villages of Tranmere, Birkenhead, and the whole of the Cheshire coast skirling the Mersey, opposite to Liveipoof, which form perhaps one of the most delightful marine situations iu this part of the country, are becoming most fashionable and general places of residence, and promise in a short lime to present us with a most populous district. The rage for budding, particularly in . the neigh- bourhood of the two first mentioned places, is beyond all conception, and the increase in. the value of land equally great. In illustration of ibis il is only neces- sary to observe that within ihe last few days', a single acre of land was knocked down fo a purchaser at ihe enormous sum of thirteen hundred pounds II is al*<* worthy of notice, in further proof of the fact, that a gentleman Who possesses a considerable property in the neighbourhood, sold a track of land for one hundred and five thousand pounds, but from some demur in completing Hie sa'e, the contract was nullified. Since that transaction, we are credibly informed, the gentleman has disposed of a pail of the property for £ 50,000, nnd that the remainder part of it al the present lime is estimated at nol less than twtr hundred thousand pounds. — CIIESTHa COURANT. SINGULAR DFATH— Last week, John MlKeanf a weaver, at Glasgow, a man upwards of eighty years of age, met with his death in a very singular manner He had sent his grand daughter to a neighbouring shop, to purchase two pies and half an ounce of snuff; being somewhat under the influence of liquor, he, on her return, emptied the snuff into one of the pies, of which he after- wards ate a part, which caused suffocation and immediate death. DESTRUCTIVE INSFCT IN SOUTH AMERICA. — The destructive qualities of the comejen are so active, that in the space of one night it will penetrate the hardest wood, or any other similar substance. In Ihe same space of time, it has beeis known to perforate a bale of paper, passing quite through 24 reams. A fungus weighing 101 lbs. yvas lately discovered at the root of a beerh tree, at Woolfardisworthyf Devon. The Americans are not the first architects who have constructed ships ot an nuwieldly size. So early as 1538, a ship of 2000 tons burden was built at Havre de Giace. She had a tennis court and windmill. She was designed for the Easi Indies, but such was the trouble and labour in getting her to the end of the pier, lhat she was hauled up the harbour again and pulled to pieces :. the materials served for the building of a great many houses. Cats are supposed to have been brought intw England from the island of Cyprus, by some foreign merchants who came hither for tin. Irs the old Welsh laws, a kitten from its birth lill it could see was valued at a penny ; when it began to mouse, al two pence; afier it had killed mice, at four- pence, which was the price of a calf. Wild cats were kept by our ancient king* for hunting. The officers who had the charge of these cats seem to have had appointments of eqoal con- sequence with the masters of the king's hounds; they were called catatores. It does not appear, that the ordinary duration of life has undergone any change since the time of David. In passing through this term, however, there are particular epochs at which the body is particularly affected. These epochs the Greek physiologists contemplated as five ; and from the word climax, which signifies a ladder, denominated them climacterics. These begin with the seventh year, and are afterwards regulated by the multi- plication of the figures 3, 7, and 9, into each other; as the 21st ( 3 times 7 ; the 49th ( 7 limes 7); the 63d ( 9 times 7) ; and the 81st ( 9 limes 9). Tbe two last were called grand climacterics, as being those which constitute the extent of the life of man, beyond which little is to he accomplished or expected.

COMBINATION LAWS. When our Legislators, less, certainly, in their J wisdom than in their mistaken humanity, repealed j y these laws, we deprecated the effects of a mea- j f sure in which we saw nothing hut destructive con- J \ sequences. That the provisions of the old law j v might be liable to abuse, and might give to the J v master the power of oppressing the servant, there j \ can be little doubt : but thai the evil to be appre. J < bended from such a cause was at all commensurate | j with the mischief that has resulted from the at- ji tempt to remedy the defect of thestatute- book, WC j t utterly deny. The danger to he apprehended in a 1 f commercial and manufacturing coantry like ours, I < from ihe confederacy and unbridled violence of the j } w orking classes, cannot be too seriously considered, J i nor too rigorously repressed: and, it must also be J ? remembered, that individual labour is by no means | i a matter of Compulsion— but lhat every man is | privileged in this land of liberty to abstain from j | toil unless he considers his remuneration adequate 1 i to his services. Combination on either side-— [ ' whether by the employer or tbe employed, must I be generally deprecated— and a kind and libeial I i spirit of consideration for ihe wants and necessities j ' of the poorer class, whilst it reflects honour upon 1 the opulent portion of the community, forms the! strongest bond of connection between both Every I individual should be left in the uncontrolled exer j ciseofdiscretion or of will. But surely, surely, it is J neither wise, nor prudent, nor discreet, to let loose I from the wholesome restraint of the law, the com- j bined efforts of a large assemblage confederated to | extort excessive wages, or to inflict vengeance upon | those who have the integrity and the manliness to J resist their unjustifiable demands. Upon whom, 1 we would ask, iu the evenl of such an attempt at j extortion proving successful, upon whom does the J evil fall?— In some few instances upon ihe em I nlbyer— then of necessity upon the public— and j m all, ultimately, upon the outrageous party, I whose families must be ruined bv the decline of j ' hat trade which their own violence has injured, j Were we even to set aside ihe question as between J master and workmen, is there not something a ho- j malous in giving to one body of men ihe right or j ihe unpunishable power of assembling en masse J to claim, and violently to enforce, the redress of 1 their private injuries, when no such right is given j to the people at large to enforce the redress of some I constitutional wrong, or the enactment of some j new constitutional privilege? A metropolitan con [ temporary, in noticing this subject, justly observes, | that " Admitting foe a moment that a! i the work j men of any one trade have a right to combine j against the masters of that trade to enforce, if yon J please, a fair and reasonable advance in their j wages; what right, we would ask, have they lo j call I i the assistance- of their union ihe journeymen J | of every other trade, who have nothing to do j with them and their masters, and who are quietly J I pursuing their own avocations ?— This is a great evil, aud will be of serious moment,'* rtis 1IAY- S OF CHIVALUY. u ' the age of chivalry is gone, and one of calcn- g lators aud economists has succeeded!" exclaimed I' Burke with all ihe eloquence of a bitter regret, in j " which, however, we cannot by any means sytnpa j thize 1 We believe that public and private happiness ! tri owes to calculation and economy, not onlv its main 1 ar advancement, but it* firmest teniire; that reason is J at least as good a guide as honour; and that virtue j gt is no whit recommended by being blind. The feudal j system has left too many, rather than too few, of its J ,. a splendid aud pernicious consequences, not only in j the constitution of political bodies, and in the general I ' frame of society, but iu the mind of man ; which, in I 111 subjects the most favourable, is too frequently pos- J sessed by a specious but vague and arbitrary priri- I; eiple of nobleness, in place of that wise aiid regulated i w benevolence, which as it has opportunity would do J ^ good unto all men. j ft " When men change swords for ledgers, we think 1 they do exceedingly well The thirst for gold is at J least as respectable as the thirst tor blood ; and J though the language and sentiments of the counting. I bouse be not quite so poetical as those of the field, I , vet we think ihe latter ill purchased at the price J . which has bee u paid for them, bv u cutting oft* heads, J and hewing off arms and legs." I be sanguinary j ' sp'rit of knighthood is strikingly evinced by ihe J gout with which all the horrible and ridiculous j " circumstances of manslaughter are usually related. J " In a few individuals this blood- hound appetite ( we j can give it no milder name) appears to have been j ' sublimated into a pure and religious love of fighting, J for its own sake ; and, thus refined, it was amalga. I mated with many fine and interesting qualities ; the j ' love of honour being among the first. But let lis not I suppose lhat this airy principle exerted itself ] ' generally to the exclusion of baser motives. For r Ihe million, they fought as they delved ; they were ^ slaves : for the better sort, the nobility and gentry, ' they fought, as we do, from cupidity and fear; and ' they also fought from superstition, revenge, and 1 " the word honour;" which tbe calculator, or ' reasonable man, does not, and is so much the nearer fo lhat peaceful mind which all good philosophy, 1 moral and political, and all good religion assiduously ^ 1 recommend. The spirit of chivalry is essentially ' ^ military ; and we think that this consideration alone ( might soften the regrets of rational and pious men for a state of things in which war yvas not only the " business but the amusement of life ; in which the i [ sword and the missal were not uufrequeutly wielded i 1 by the same hands, and the cross was the banner of ^ no spiritual warfare. ^ Well- judging people have indeed long ceased to 1 consider the feudal system as peculiarly favourable even to those virtues that have been popularly * assigned to il. Few attach anv serious belief lo the H supposition that our contemporaries are either less s brave, less chaste, less generous, or less honest, than their predecessors in the days of joust and tournay. ^ Hume has pronounced Ihe warriors of the middle ^ ages to have been as bad soldiers as they were ^ citizens; and indeed their mode of warfare, how splendid or imposing soever, suffers grievously by a * comparison either with classic or modern times. f Thai, here and there, a knight was to be fortud. " sans penr et sans reproehe," cannot be questioned. The first of these qualifications may perhaps lie ' assign d them preHy generally. Courage is the ^ cheapest of all virtues, and often flourishes, amid all ^ sorts of weeds, in a very indifferent soil. Yet when we read of a stout and well- fed nobleman, cased in * all the iron he could support, and mounted oil a great horse, as it was emphatically termed ; yvhen we read ot a baron thus fortified, sallying forth from ( his castle for forty davs, and pouncing on a rabble of half- armed and half- starved foot soldiers, like Don Quixote on the flock of sheep, with an excellent " V chance besides of having' his life spared, should tbe worst come to ihe worst, for the sake of his ransom — > t shall we be ravished from ourselves by any enthus!- astie sympathy w ith such heroism, or compare for a moment the courage here exhibited, with that of a tf modern officer at the head of his troop? For the '. V tournay, nothing could be more safe, gothie, and » p absurrl ; nor can we understand with what colour of reason the chroniclers attribute to a young champion any extraordinary valour for engaging in such coil. Il- fliets, though with the prowest knight inChristentie, " f when the utmost risk he runs is that of beiog jerked m oft'his horse, somewhat more rudely indeed than one falls in a riding- house, but with little more danger either to limb or life than a country gentleman wr incurs three times a week in a fox chase. Yet many of i he in seem lo record the feats of the toil may with ,) r a yet fonder admiration than those of actual war. he That the romantic times furnish admirable ma- terials for poetry, we have abundant proofs in those green wildernesses of verse which Ariosto and nit Spenser have left u-. Yet it was not the very thing, of but an enchanted image, which these divine men saw. The days of chivalry were already gone, and tic did but furnish nanies and dates for I hat age of gold, he with which poetry, by a sort of inverted optimism, mi always glorifies the darkness behind it. In rlie mt present instance she borrowed a number of fine in. words aa4 tome fine images from the peculiar cir- g- ave notice of the projected alteration, bad T not been aware of the . proceedings { hat ihe Directors of the House of industry, from ihe most landahU- and! conscientious motives, were faking to oppose effec- tually the confirmation o> tlie rider, an opposition which ihev wouhi eonieuin as emanating from any other motives than those of discharging their dulv with fidelity to Ihe public thai had entrusted them with il, ami not ( as has been avowed, which is ah imputation that as individuals and as a botfy they would, as men knowing the rectitude of iheir own hearts, not only deny but despise) 4k an opposition that would be putting the public to unnecessary expense, in order to gratify the private feelings of the Hoard of Directors." That the* general opinion of the inhabitants of Shrewsbury fs against any alteration in the present line of road, is sufficiently palpable, and cannot, I think, hrrve escaped the knowledge of Mr. Beck ! would, therefore, ask him, as an individual, this plain simple question, and if he will answer me satisfactorily, I will candidly acknowledge the rea- sonahleness of the alteration, aud which, if demon, strafed at the Sessions, no doubt will receive thf ready acquiescence of the public,— 11 ht/ shoulc public right, benefit, and advantage, be sacrificed K private, interest, and convenience ? That it would h< a sacrifice, if allowed to be effected, can easily h< proved; a walk along it and a little rational con temptation, such as anv unbiassed and uninterester mind would conceive, iu weighing not merely prob able but certain consequences that will necessaril; arise from it, will effectually demonstrate it, am prove more than whole volumes of metaphysica dissertation. Let winter come, and you will toi soon find if this dereliction should be suffered, tha one single experiment will prove Ihe effects whicl will aris^ e, anil which I will endeavour as suceinctl as possible to point out to you as true as lhat th mines of South Amenea contain vast quantities o precious metals, or that Full many a gem of purest rav serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear. T shall now, therefore, proceed ( before I invoke your firm and cordial co- operation with the Directors of tbe House of Industry, the Guard aus of the Poor of the Incorporated Parishes, and the other public spirited individuals who have given notice to, and who will spiritedly and d< ferminatelv, by every means in their power,' oppv ^ the order of, Ihe magistrates, the notices of which you will perceive ill the Salopian Journal and Shrewsbury Cbronii le.) to call your attention to the disadvantages of the intended substitution, which I imagine, even with deference to the interested opinion of Mr Beck, that gentleman, if he will not look through a false medium, cannot disallow, but which you cannot hut ; fail to palpably observe. The disparity and inequi. S valence between Ihe old and intended new line of j road I will now endeavour to prove to Mr. B< ck, and I t trust, sincerely trust, he will therefore abandon his attempt to obtain a confirmation of thj* order at the next Sessions,- and thereby avoid the morlifica lion of seeing i' reversed. 1st. The old road forms a continuance of one of the most beautiful and salubrious walks in tbe imme- diate v. iciiiitv of Shrewsbury, and constitutes, from the point where the intended new road diverge* I from tlie old and present line to ihe Hatiwood road, one of ihe most delightful aud commanding north cast prospects of the town that can possibly be j afforded from any situation— " A toveiy ipot " For all that life can ask? salubrious, mild, " Tts hills are green! its trees and prospects- fair, 14 Its meadows fertile! and to crown the whole " Tn one delightful word - it is your home, " Your native pld. ee.''" 2dlv. Situated, as the present road is, upon ihf Very summit of the banks, you may not only w- alk and eafeb the fragrant zephyis as they blow,— inhale the pure invigorating- and restorative air, while fancy paints to yoU in glowing Colours the delights, the tin riling pleasures you may have experienced " in times gone by," whilst walking ou this spot With some eortgen. at, palpitating,' sympathetic heart,— the pleasure you' may have fell,- whilst stVrrouuded by your w i'ves and your lit'le ones, when taking you accustomed evening's walk, — the my, approximating to veneration, arising from the reflection that if was tliere yon graonniiy invigorate. i a frame vvruen illness had debilitated and consumed to the verge of the grave, — but view a scene below unrivalled in it> beauty, enjoy a walk in any in - derate! v dry day in summer or winter, free from those trammels of unpleasantness and incipient ill health— dirt and wet stockings. 3dly. The road, as it now presents itself, is in the one direction of a gradual and easy descent, and on the other consequently of a pleasant and easy declivity, so foiined as the wet cannot possibly remain long on its surface, and exposed, if I mav be allowed the expression, to a free ventilation, which renders it always as s. oii dry as any walk in the neighbourhood; 4' Oiv. it ever mere suouiu OP anv cousioerao'e extension of ' Fie town of Shrewsbury, it most be in the direction of Kiliosland; and should a Bridge be thrown across1 tbe Severn as a substitution for the present Ferry, and which I believe is iu contempla- tion, there cannot he a doubt but there will soon be buildings of considerable importance, particularly were the Corporation1 of Shrewsbury to grant build, ing leases of Kiugslandy and were the lands belong- ing\ to the House of Industry to fall into hands who would follow that example. Ef these, or p-, irt of these, measures were lo be adopted, what would not ihe Corporation, the possessors of the property now belonging to the Incorporated Parishes, the Drapers' Com pa n v, and other.' proprietors of property near to Kingslaud, give for a road in its present line* Pos- sessing, as the public does, a drift and footway, I imagine it would not require a great consideration in purchasing a right of carriage- way— a right, | prospectively considered, of the most valuable im portanee. Once precluded, and both it and you may be shut out for ever. oiniy. ix or ice tne anrupt etevanoti ot tnai pan or the intended new line of road which passes through the pliintafiou contiguous to Mr Beck's house. It rises, as has been demonstrated with mathematieal precision, 1 in 5, and 1 in 7, while lh « * old and present road is with lit|! e variation a gradual eleva- tion of 1 in 94. Mr, Beck is a young man, and, fortunately for him, not asfbmati'cally disposed, or otherwise he would not f; ul to appreciate and feel iugly estimate the advantages or disadvantages iu this particular. If lire House of Industry should ever be converted into a public hospital, this may also be [ worth a little consideration. | 6thly. As the present intended new road is laid j out through Mr. Beck's plaillation, it is morally i 111 possible that il can be in any moderate time after wet weather iu summer, or snowy aud lhaWy weather in winter, fit to walk along, in consequence of its imperviousiicss to a free circulation of air and the preclusion of the sun's rays. I 7lhly. Il is not merely the part through Mr. Beck's plantation that is obp etionable, hut the same J effects will be produced from nearly similar causes j along tbe greater pari of the line of road. Only for I a moment cast your reflecting eve up tbe steep ascent I which rises so abruptly from the intended new line J lo the old one, and think of tbe consequences thai I will be produced to this new road whenever a thaw I takes place in Ihe winter of ihe congregated masses I of snow which will necessarily form there by repeated j falls, one of which will not have disappeared ( in I consequence of the situation) before it. is succeeded J by another; — a heavy fall of rain, too, in the summer, as the road is now formed without any receptacles or I drains to contain . it by its side, in o- der that it might j be carried from thence under it by communicating I pipes or other means of transit into the river below, | will inevitably inundate the surface, and thereby I produce what engineers would call, in the technical
