DUBLIN, OCT. 29. It was stated to you in a recent communication; that the Lord Lieutenant would on this day lead to the altar the rich and accomplished Mrs. Patterson. The information was correct— the marriage of bis Excellency was Solemnized this evening, about five o'clock, at the Vice- Regal Lodge, in a style of becoming splendour. Mrs. Patterson, for some time t, had taken up her residence at Ryland's Hotel,- where she was attended by her sister. Between the hours of two and three o'clock this afternoon, two state carriages belonging to the Marquis Wellesley drove up to the Hotel. Mr. Johnson, his Excel- leney's Private Secretary, rode in one of them. He immediately entered the hotel, and in a short time tided Mrs. Patterson aiid her sister into the fore- most carriage. Both the ladies were dressed in a superb and Costly style. The appearance of the carriages wiih the stale livr'ry in a very few minutes attracted a considerable crowd round the doors of the hotel. All the persons who composed i't seemed extreu'ely anxious to cnU- H « ^ Utftj^ u** < » / the accom- plished lady who was so soon to be exalted to a state T such dignity and splendour.— When she appeared there was an expressive though subdued murmur of applause. Mrs. Patterson gracefully returned the salutation. The carriages rapidly drove off to the Pl » ( 2iiix Park. The marriage ceremony, according to the rites of the Established Church, was per- formed by his Grace the Lord Primate. There were present the Primate, the Bishop of Raphoe, the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. aud Miss Piuukett, Mr. Secretary Goulbourn and his Ladv, the Commander of the Forces, Colonel Taibot and Lady, Mr. Blake aud Lady, and several others. The Catholic Archbishop7 of Dublin was not present at tbe first marriage, but arrived in one of his Excellency's carriages in some time alter, attended by one of his clergymen, the Rev. Mr. Russell, when the marriage, according to the lites of the. Roman Catholic Church, was solemn- ly performed. For several davs during the week Mrs. Patterson ( now the Marchioness of Wellesley) has been closetted with this Catholic Ecclesiastic. Marriage in the Roman Catholic Church is a sacrament, and the party cannot approach it without having previously gone through the most solemn1 ceremonies aud rites of the Catholic Church.

THE MONUMENT AT WATERLOO— A fine Monument is now erecting at Waterloo by the Netherlands Government. The Monument Iras a very imposing effect, even in its un finished state. It is tin earthen minimi or lull, of a conical form, anil of immense size, being upwards of 700 feet diameter at the base, or 2,169 feet circumference. It is 200 feet high, and 100 feet in diameter at the top; there is a double carriage road winding round it, in a spiral form, and supplyiug an easy means of ascent for carriages lo the very top s and hy this road the materials have been, and are con- veyed to complete the work hi the centre is a shaft of brick work, which has been cu rtetl up front the bottom, and is slili going on. It is to be sixty feet higher ihau the top of Ihe mound, making the whole height 250 feet. Il is intended lor a pedestal, to receive a Lion, 81 feet long and 12 feet- high, which is ready lo bp put up, when the work is finished. The mound has been eighteen months in hand, and is to be completed in six more, aud from what has been already done, little doubt remains that it will be so. For tile last twelve months 2,000 men, 600 horses, and as many < arts as could be kept at work, were employed on il, and the number lias onl, been reduced as the termination of this great undertaking ap- proaches. At present, as tlie works are going on, at Ihe top it It is a pleasing appearance Irom the great number of horses, carts, aud people ascending aud descending by the wind- ing road. Captain Ramsden, of Longtown, undertook his match on Saturday, in Atherstone Park, Bucks, to go on foot 100 tniles iu 20 hours, a task seldom attempted, aud we never heard of a successful adveulurer. Tne ground chosen was two miles of rolled turf, and the match was for 300 sovereigns. The pedestrian started after Ihe clock struck twelve oil Saturday morning, and al five o'clock he had accom- plished SO miles, when he ate a roast fowl, and did SO other miles in six hours. Alter halting half an hour, and exchanging his flannels, the pedestrian proceeded on at the rate of between four aud five miles an liour, took his rest when occasion required it, and won with seven minutes to spare. The pedes- trian wore a strong pair of shoes well braced over the ankles. STOMACHIC APERIEMT PIXiIiS, Prepared from a Prescription of the late Sir Richard Jebb, M. D.

SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE.— On Tuesday last, a general meet- ing of the Bombay district committee of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge was held in the vestry room of St. Thomas's Church* at which the Lord Bishop presided. The meeting was attended by the Hon. the Chief Justice, Mr, Warden, the Archdeacon, and all the clergy con- nected with the Society, besides other members of the committee. Tbe chief business transacted was8 to receive a report of the proceedings during the last three years : which was approved, and ordered to be printed. The Bishop addressed themectingj congratulating the committee on the favourable re- port they were able to make, and expressing his approbation of their proceedings.

If | MARCUS had adopted this plan, his letter might have had a place in our columns.

The Hon. Admiral Sir Charles Paget war on hoard his yacht, the Emerald, pro- ceeding out of the harbour, intending to go down lo Cowes, when it was blowing nearly a gale of wind. The yacht had slipped her moorings, and was in the act of wearing, for which purpose the peak hal- yards were let go; at this moutenl a coiled- up rope caused Sir Charles to slip, when the peak downhal caught him round the middle, and before he could clear it, the other part of the downhal caught the mast head of a fishing smack, which tightened the bight round Sir Charles, who was caught up by it, carried over the bulwark of the yacht, and thrown into the water. As the vessel was forced along, he Was severely struck in his chest, and the rope working downward, he fell head foremost. The man at the helm let go the tiller, to save him, by which the Emerald ran over the frigate- rigged boat 44 The Victorine" ( belonging to Capt,. Charles Inglish, of the Victory). A small skiff instantly put off from the VictoYine, and the man succeeded in catching hold of Sir Charles just as he had lost sensation ; but the skiff was so. small, the man could not take him in ;- he therefore held Sir Charles's head out of the water, till further assist- ance came from the Victory, and some fishermen • Who were near the spot; when he was taken on board the Victory, and shortly after brought on shore to the house of Admiral Sir George Martin, where every attention was shown him. As Sir Charles spit blood m th » course of th<- evening sixty ounces of blood were taken . from him, since which, we are most happy to say, he has been much better. We trust no internal injury has been sustained. His knee pan is split, which probably cause his confinement for some time. FIRE.—- T he magnificent and; extensile premises of Messrs. Hurst and Robinson's, booksellers, Pall Mall, which open both into Pall Mall and Waterloo Place, were, on Saturday noon about one o'clock, discovered to be on fire. It appears to have originated from an immense stove or apparatus erected on the basement of the building for the purpose of preserving that part of the premises, which is uised as a warehouse tor books, from damp, and of heating the upper pai* t of the house by fines, which communicated warm air into the different rooms. Such presumed precautions had been taken against the chance of tire, and such was the con- struction of the stove, that no fear of its safety had hitherto existed. However, much blame appears to be attached to the person who erected it ; for the iron roof of it., not being sufficiently guarded froiii the inflammable materials of the building, becom- ing heated, gradually charred the rafters and beams above ii until they burst into ignition. The volumes of smoke rising through the crevices of the floor and the apertures ofthe flues immediately communicated the danger, which was promptly and fortunately arrested bv the clerks and assistants of the establishment, by tearing up the flooring and extinguishing the fire with water. The room in which the fire occurred had only a few days before been completed in the decoration, and was hung with many valuable paintings, among which was a Guido, estimated at 900 guineas. These, with the entire stock of the. splendid work entitled Musee Francois, recently purchased in Paris by Messrs. Hurst aud Robinson, which was also deposited in this room, escaped ail injury. Had the fire conti- nued unobserved ten minutes longer, the property of this room, worth between £ 20,000 and £ 30,000* must have been destroyed. have, however, no doubt that, let the event occur when it rnav, . more Candidates will be - required to. come fairly down with their " Declaration of Faith" than has been hitherto supposed. In fact, there is a feeling, among Pro • festants on this point greater than has been imagined; and it will be expressed in a much more efficacious way than by printing and publishing pointed and personal letters like those of otir Correspondent. CAUTIO says, part of the fence by the river, near Cofeham Bridge, is'broken away, and several persons have, in consequence, slipped down the bank towards- the water — occurrences which, in times of flood, might be fatal. He also states, that an elderly woman slipped into the river, on Sunday last, from the dangerous and unprotected bank nearly opposite the Foundry, where she had gone to procure water; fortunately, the accident was observed by. some persons at the Foundry, who gave an alarm, and she was taken out of the river.

He says, *' the use of the chain there, instead of a rope, is at all times unpleasant, and at high water dangerous: the jerk which would take place from the breaking of a link at high water would probably precipitate the passengers into the river-, one life has been lost by such an occurrence: — at any rate, a passage at the other Ferry must convince any one how much superior the rope is to the chain." * J. T. seems to be quite in the dark on his. subject. We can assure him that most of the " circular letters," relative to the prices of grain, hops, and other articles of commerce, which are to be found in the newspapers, are mere u puffs" and 44 inventions" of various parties, and intended, not to give information to the public, but to answer 44 divers ends and purposes" of the writers: it would, therefore, be making ourselves a party in the mis- leading the public, \ ms . we to give them additioaai carreucy. There is, we believe, good authority for stating that John Mytton, Esq, of Halston, inteuds offer iii g himself as a Candidate for the Representation of this Borough whenever the present Parliament shall be dissolved.— Rumour has also announced some other Gentlemen as Candidates, among whom, the name of one of the sitting Members for a Borough in an adjoining County has been mentioned— but upon what authority we know not.

RODDINCJTON.-— In this village are now living two poor persons, man and wife, whose united ages amount to 181 years. They have passed 67 years in the bauds of wedlock, and have had nine children, ali of whom are believed to be living : three of them reside in the same village as their aged parents, and are of the respective ages of 66, 64, and 62, thus making between five members of the same family 373 years. Their youngest child is 50. The man, whose name is VVilliam Eaton, was for several years under gamekeeper to the last Earl of Bradford of the Newport family •, he also held the same situation after the late Sir William Pulteney, Bart, came to the Newport estates, but was unfortunately discharged for something not strictly correct relating to the game. Both the man and his wife, we are sorry to say, are nearly blind, but they enjoy their other faculties un- impaired. Their poverty and great age compelled them to apply for parochial relief 5 that, however, amounts ouly io the scanty pittaacc vf 3s. per week. Committed to our County Gaol, William Bridge, charged with having stolen 4 horse shoes, the property of Edward Bowen, of Oldbury; & William Chidlow, charged with breaking into the dwelling house of George Ridgway, of Prees, aud stealing thereout lis. 6d. in silver and Is. in copper. Committed to our County Gaol, for trial at tbe next Assizes, Thomas Williams alias Yates, and John Lacy, charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel and a gold seal, from out of the dwelling house of Edward Totnkies, at the parish of St. Martins.— The prisoner Williams, who stated himself to be a native of Hereford, and Lacy, who said he was a warper from Manchester, were taken before the Magistrates of Chester, on the 29th ult. by Munday, the police officer there, charged with robbing Mr. Matthew Bailey, of a gold watch, silver spectacles, & c, besides violent^ assaulting him. Mr. Bailey said that he had been spending the evening at the Green Dragon, on the 12th of October, with some hop merchant's ; he resided in Boughton, and on his way home, pearlyxopposite to Long Acre, he was suddenly assaulted, hy two men, knocked down, and, whilst one attempted to fill his mouth with mud, the Other lifted his pockets. Munday said, that entertaining suspicion of the prisoners, he went to their lodgings in Handbridge between 7 and 8 o'c Ioe k t ha t morn ing; Williams was sitting up in bed, aud the othe r man was dressing himself. He told them to put thei clothes on, and when they had done so, he ex- amined them. On Williams was found the watch and seal stolen from Mr. Bailey, a fawn coloured cloth cloak, with pink trimming, a slate coloured fringed wollen shawl, marked with two or three black spots, an under- waist coat, with red cloth facing, a bill hook, a candle, match, and phos phorus bottle, two large keys, and thirteen smaller keys, & c. & c. Oh Lacy was found a lilac plaid silk dress, a drab coloured raw silk sjiawl, with blue and red border, a pair of men's shoes, a child's neck beads, blue and white striped silk gown, a very large oval gold seal, with red corne- lian stone, & c. Both of the prisoners seemed most hardened offenders, and whilst Muuday was giving his evidence, Wrilliams said he might as well tell truth, for he ( Williams) was partly dressed when he found bimr. He added that be had cOnie from Oswestry, and both admitted the property was theirs, stating lhat the silk dresses, & c. were bought by them in Shrewsbury, and they were taking them to some female friends in Manchester. On Williams was found a letter to a woman, whom he designated his wife; it was dated Knutsford Gaol, October 6th, complaining of his hard fafe, being loaded with irons 18lbs. weighty reciting an account of two unsuccessful attempts to escape, in ihe last of which he was retaken when be had made good way to a distance of 7 miles, and hoping soon to sec her. He then requests some pecuniary relief from her, and begs she will direct lo him as " John Stevens." & c. Williams is about 5 feet 5 inches high, and Lacy nearly ihe same size.— The prisoners having declared that they had been at Oswestry, and it being known that some rob beries had been committed in that neighbourhood, a letter was dispatched to the constable of Oswestry, which led to another charge being brought agaitisl Ihe parties, also of a capital nature. It appeared that 011 the night of the 17th of October, ihe dwelling house of Mr. Edward Tomkies, siluale about three miles from Oswestry, was feloniously entered ; a great number of articles were stolen, and amongst them the identical articles of female wearing apparel found on the prisoners iu Chester. Mr. and Mrs. Tomkies went over to Chester on the 31st ult. and on the prisoners being brought for- ward, Williams was identified as Thomas Yales, who had formerly worked as a paper- maker at Mordda Mills, and had served part of his appren. liceshlp in the very bouse which he is charged wiih hating robbed ! Williams accounted for assuming the name of Yales, by slaling it was that of his step- father. A case so clear as this, did not require much deliberation on the part of the Mayor and Magistrates of Chester • the prisoners weie accord- ingly handed over to tbe constable of Osweslry, where they underwent an examination before the Magistrates, and were committal for trial.

The King of Portugal is to have the nominal title of Emperor during his life3 but the full and whole sovereignty is transferred to Don Pedro by his father.

A KEEPER KILLED BY AN ELEPHANT.— A « inquisition was held on Tuesday night, at tb<$ White Horse, near Exeter Change, London, on thp body of John Tretzen, one of the keepers of the beasts at the Royal Menagerie, Exeter Change, who came by his death in consequence of the, injuries he received from the elephant, iu the course; of the morning. Jt appeared iu evidence that Ihe deceased struck the elephant over the trunk, and; said, >' Come round ;" when the elephant turned round shortly, and caught the deceased by his right tusk in his chest, and pressed him against the bars. The animal turned round so quickly that nothing could have prevented the accident. Itif fact the . animal trembled very much, aud seemed! as if he was aware: of the mischief he had done. The elephant was very partial to ihe deceased,, Several of the Jurors bore testimony lo the uni- versal tenderness, of the Proprietor of the Me- i nagcrie ; and the Jury, without hesitation, brought iu a verdict of Accidental death— Deodand Is.

Ten others were also taken from the Same tree, averaging nearly the same size and weight, being the whole of Ihe tree's produce. Two Crassan pears, of extraordinary size, were also? gathered last week in the garden of the Rev. John Galthrop* of Gosbertou. The larger weighed 22£ oi. and measured 13f inches in girth ; the smaller pear weighed 1oz\ and measured 10| inches.

The horse thai came in first was _ deemed distanced, for not having carried 31b. extra, as winncrof a plate the day before. The owner objected to this decision, conceiving that, as the first plate was woo subsequent to the entry for that iu dispute, he was entitled to start without carrying the extra weight. It was, however, on reference to the Jockey Club, decided that the horse ought to have carried the 31b. extra," This law has been repealed, according to the following decision, reported in the last No. of the Sheet Calendar.— " The opinion of the Stewards of the Jockey Club was requested by the Stewards of Rochester and Chalham Races on the following case " For the Chatham Plate, the winner of a slake or plate in 1825 was lo carry 71b. extra, and ihe question was, whether a filly who bad won a plate subsequently to the entering for the Chatham Plate, but previously to the running for it, was to carry 71b. extra?— Tbe Stewards of the Jockey Club give it as their opinion, that she was not oblige^ to carry 71b. extra ; and ihey stated, they were aware that conflicting opinions had been given on this question, bat on mature consideration they thought the better rule was, that a horse, being duly qualified at the expiration of the time of naming or entering for a stake or plate, should not be affected, as to that stake or plate, by any subaequeut eveut.'* Mr. Welle, a solicitor, was sentenced at Lincoln Sessions lo pay a fine of £ 10 and to be imprisoned six months, for assaulting an officer employed to arrest him. OLD BAILEY.— Thursday, Thomas Hughes* Charlotte Watts, John Collier, Sarah Hay, and others, were indicted for conspiring lo defraud Messrs. Gillmau, Lucas, and Coplin, of Newgate- street, of various goods. From tbe opening state- ment of Mr. Adolphus, it appeared that Hughe © is a person who had carried on a system of fraud in Cheltenham, Oxford, and other parts of the country, for some time past, lo 1822 he was a prisoner in the King's Bench for debi ; in 1823 he was arrested aud confined in Whitecross- street prison; and in March, 1824, he was discharged under the Insolvent Act. In November of the same year, he opened a haberdasher's shop hi Speldhurst. street, under the name of Henry Hughes, being apprehensive that the name of Thomas would discover him. In this shop he had person named Charlotte Watts>} who lived with him as Mrs. H. for the defendant had left his own wife and taken her instead ; this lady officiated in the shop, aud was conspicuous in the whole con- spiracy. The next person was Hay, who lived as & builder in Lisson- slreet, in 1822, and was with hi* wife in great misery and distress, having only shav- ings to lie upon ; but they soon emerged from lhi » wretchedness, and Hay had the courage lo becomes guarantee for Hughes to any amount4 Mr. Buileu and his wife were not now present; but Hughes got acquainted with Bullen while both were prisoners iu Whitecross- street, where they concerted their future plan of fraud. Collier was another party to whom references were njade, and on Whom bills were drawn, iu order lo defraud persons from whom goods were obtained. W- Wite. the general system of fraud was going on in London, a parallel line of operations was. going on in Brighton, through the agency of Bullen. The learned Gentleman then detailed a continuous system of fraud upon several tradesmen in London, and elsewhere. He would prove that Hughes was in tbe habit of getting good ® in the city in the morning on credit, and sending those goods to pawnbrokers in the everting, or l< » the auction- room.— A crowd of witnesses were called, who proved the swindling practices of the parties, and the jury found them all viiiity. — The sentence of the Court was, that Hughes and Hay should be confined in the House of Correction for wo years, and be kept to hard labour; Collier to he confined iu the same prison for 18, and Charlotte Watts for two months, both to be also kept tu hard labour. Ambrose Oliver, late a clerk in the Sun Fire Office, charged on three indictments with em- bezzling various sums of money, amounting alto- gether to £ 5000, received by him on account of his employers, pleaded guilty. The Recorder inform* ed him that the plea would be of no service lo him, and advised him to withdraw it • but the prisoner, who seemed deeply affected at his awful situation, with tears in his eyes, declared that his conscience would not allow him to withdraw ihe plea, aud il was accordingly recorded against him. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.— Saturday, a case was tried, Pearson v. Wheeler, Plaintiff paid to defendant £ 1600, for the good- will of a public- house, upon the representation of the latter that £ 200 per mouth was taken at the bar, whereas, in fact, the receipts fell short of £ 100. The action was brought to recover a compensation for this false information. The Jury gave Ihe plaintiff £ 250 damages.

T was the Season when people begin to make hay, And the young birds just fiedg'd ' gin to perch on the spray ; When the fruit- yielding orchards their treasures disclose, And the morning-- dew shines on the cap of the rose ; When the farmer, all joyous, his evening walk takes, To survey a blithe peasantry plying their rakes ; — . That a Steward, whose efforts were never delay'd To fulfil in all points every promise he made; Who, though not so clever as some, was as big, And had got ' neath his hat, something more than his wig; Who, in fine, was right honest, and, what is most trtfe, Was btdov'd, and (" nay, start not, 1') was affabl too,— Observing the clouds at a distance to lower, Which threaten'd to deluge the fields with a shower; And seeing the folks to their hay- meadows tlockin.

Anon they began, as the story we learn, And among them was seen Tom of'Shambrawern • Now Tom, though deem'd silly, was more of a cheat, Mis sayings were shrewd, and with humour replete, His merry jokes oft sent a shout through the air, And none vvould rake more when the bottle was there. Wide over the meadows the hay- makers spread ; . But Tom, who had got a queer whim in his head, ' Oft casting a look at the empty canteen, Made up such a hay- cock as seldom is seen. In size, it resembled a little oak tree, Some say it put- Tneasur'd a buoy on the sea, And others, there are, will declare it as soon, That in size, ' twas more like an inflated balloon, lie made up another, but not quite so round, And a third, sostoewhat smaller, all on the same ground.

SHREWSBURY HOUSE OF INDUSTRY. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, Nov. 1, 1825. In consequence of a Special Assembly of the Corporation of Guardians having been convened by public advertisement to. be held at tbe House of Industry on Monday last, in order that the sense of its members might be taken as to the eligibility of accepting the proposition of Mr. Beck to pur- chase the piece of land called the Banky Piece, and other business relative thereto, I attended as a member of that Corporation ; a yd upon an amended motion of Mr. Hazlediue 1 tendered my vote, which was objected to by a much, respected individual, wlfose objection was acquiesced in by all the meet- ing, excepting one person, upon the ground that 1 was not a Guardian according to the Act of Par- liament governing the House, in consequence of my not being rated and assessed to the amount of Fifteen Pounds per annum. This objection I had anticipated ( though certainly not fr6m the quarter whence it emanated), knowing as 1 did the general ignorance that pervaded the minds not only of the Directors and the Guardians, but nearly every Lawyer and Inhabitant of the Town of Shrewsbury, as regarded what really constituted the qualification of a Guardian. To such an opposition, however, I acquiesced in silence,— though if it had emanated from any other quarter 1 should certainly have protested against it, and have demonstrated the fallacy of such a construc lion of the clause of qualification, which really Mr. Editor, is so plain aud palpable, that 4every one that runs may read,"— and reading running, construe it as 1 have construed it. Though silent at the time, 1 nevertheless determined in my mind that 1 would call the attention of tbe inhabitant of the incorporated parishes to the subject, and thereby Consequently enable a great number of Parishioners to vote on questions of their incorpo ration, who, from the general promulgation of the mistaken construction of the clause of qualification, apprehend they have no right. 1 was not unaware, when I attended the meeting iu order that I might bring the question of qualifi cation forward, of the difficulty i might have to encounter, the illiberal remarks I might have to experience, in so young a man as myself opposin; a principle which had been acted upon by the Directors ever since the first establishment of tbe Institution ; but, feeling confident that when tbe point was fairly and dispassionately brought befor the public, it could not do otherwise but allow the propriety of my construction, and applaud me for my endeavours in rendering eligible as Guardians more than one- third of tbe Rate- payers of the Incorporated Parishes, I determined upon voting, Of my right to vole, as I pay rates for a house of the yearly rent of £ 15, I think I had as good title as any one, and possessing that right ( having stepped over the threshold of legal imbecility), ' should imagine I was entitled to exercise it, with out my conduct being characterised as the resu of arrogance and presumpt ion. Of that right yo and the public shall therefore judge, by reading Hii\ verbatim part of the clause of qualification which From the very earliest ages a, belief in the exist- ence of disembodied spirits has prevailed more or less forcibly among mankind ; and there is, perhaps, no nation or tribe in the world, that do not implicitly • believe in the appalling influence of some species or other of ghost or goblin. A modern writer, the predecessor of Dr. Hibbert, has endeavoured, by the aid of physiology, to ascertain whether these extra- ordinary and terrific impressions cannot be explained, from the acknowledged laws and powers of the animal economy, independent altogether of super- natural causes; and he has certainly managed his subject with much ingenuity. * * - * * That the universal opinion already adverted to should spring merely from a delusion of the senses dependent upon a disordered imagination, is a cir- cumstance which 8 could never bring myself to acknowledge, and numberless are ihe stuffing's to which my scepticism ou this point has exposed me. That the spirits of individuals have appeared after their disease I have never doubted ; and it has often occurred to me, that their appearance was arranged and regulated by Providence ( os4 the accomplishment, of some purpose of more than usual importance Why should we not infer, from the unceasing good- ness of the Creator, that he would present to us so decisive a proof ' of the immortality of the soul? Rather let us adopt the beautiful opinion ofthe poet, who has thus sweetly advocated the benevolent soli citude of Providence : — • is there care in heaven? and is there love In lieavenly spirits to these creatures base, That may- compassion of their evils move? There is: else much more wretched were the case Of men than beasts. But, oh! th' exceeding grace Of highest God, lhat loves his creatures so, And all his works with mercies doth embrace, That blessed angels he sends to and fro, To serve to wicked men, to serve his cruel foe. How oft do they their silver bowers leave, To coine to succour us that succour want! How oft do they with golden pinions cleave The flitting skies, like flying pursuivant, Against foul fiends to aid us militant! They for us figh't, they watch and duly ward, And their bright squadrons round about us plant, And all for love, and nothing for reward: Oh! why shouldhea venly God to men' have such regard ? That very many instances of gross deception and palpable delusion have occurred, I do not. mean to deny. These every one has witnessed or has heard of; and, consequently, the generality of mankind ridicule any serious opinion upon the subject. But the following remarkable circumstance, of which a' most intimate friend of my own was an eyewitness, will prove that all speculations upon this point are not to be treated with levity. The friend alluded to is a gentleman, now residing in Wales, whose vera- city cannot be questioned. I had formed my a<! quuintauce" with him during my wanderings, which has since ripened .. into warm and sincere friendship; and I give the relation in his own words. 44 1 had been spending a few days in the neigh- bourhood of the little town of Towyri, in Merioneth- shire, and had set off on my return to Dolgelly, bout seven o'clock in the evening. St was in the utumn, and the day had been beautifully fine, and veu sultry, but the sun had finally set amidst anopy of glowing clouds, which an experienced bepherd would have said foreboded a tempest. But kind mother expected me at Dolgelly that evening, nd these portents had no influence to retard my eparture. I rode on, therefore, slowly and silently, mong the quiet hills, and thought only of reaching my journey's end before night- fall. Of all the dis- tricts in the wild but beautiful county of Merioneth, iidonbtedly that which I was then traversing is the wildest. It may be justly called tbe Highlands of Merionethshire; and the peasants have bestowed on this desolate tract the name of Ffordd ddu, or the black road. Being entirely out of the usual route of English travellers, its inhabitants have retained th language and their customs almost in their pristine unity; and the rugged hills which inclose them lave hitherto presented an impenetrable barrier to the innovating effects of civilization. My road lay ( trough a tract as desolate as it was rugged and omaiific. A deep wood bounded the path on the left, while a long and dreary ridge of heather- covered hills shut out the prospect in an opposite direction; before me were the wooded mountains of Peniarth and Celyniti, and behind me wereTowyn and the sea. * 4 I had not ridden more than two miles before the wind arose, at first sighing plaintively amongst t^ h foliage of the trees, and afterwards rocking them to their very roots with Violent and fitful gusts. Tiie sky, too, was overcast with black clouds, and I had the very comfortable prospect of being overtaken by one of those sudden and tremendous storms which sometimes agitate our mountainous districts. '. Loneliness Hung o'er the hills and valleys like a shroud. And all was still; sombre the forest Jay, A mass of pitchy darkness in the scowl Of that dark sky— asolitude of death!" 41 I had already arrived opposite to Craig Aderyn, or the Birds' Rock, so called from being nightl frequented by au innumerable flight of birds, when few drops of rain fell; aud my horse, startled at the discordant screams of the birds on the rock, began to plutige in a way not very agreeable to the rider. I had indeed no small difficulty in guiding the terrified animal through this desolate delile; for the birds on Craig Aderyn were so clamorous, as if in deprecation of the coming tempest, that my spirited horse became almost unmanageable. I succeeded, however, in gaining the extremity of the pass, and, wrapping my riding- cloak around me, rode on as briskly as the rocky road would permit. But I could not escape the tempest. The thunder soon began to rumble at a distance, each clap becoming louder and louder, and being preceded by a more vivid flash of lightning. The rain too fell in such torrents, that I determined, if possible, to reach the rude village of Pont Vathew, which was about a mile distant, rather than pursue my way to Dolgelly. My sagacious companion seemed to have discovered my design, for I had scarcely conceived if, before he set off at a round trot, and in a few minutes brought me safely to the door of the humble pot- house of the hatnlet. Pout Vathew, or Mathew's Bridw merely an assemblage of some half a dozen huts, near a rapid mountain- river, about four miles from Towyn, and can boast of no place of public entertainment, except the miserable house before which my horse instinctively stopped. But this house, humble as it was, was quite sufficient to shelter me from the storm; and giving my horse in charge to the host, I entered it. 44 The principal apartment of a Welsh pot- house is, like that of most others, the- kitehen; iand into the kitchen of the Blue Lion at Pont Vathew I proceeded, and found. there several persons, some, like myself, seeking shelter from the storm, oihers prevented from quitting their carousals by the fury of the raging tempest. I was known to most of them three or four indeed were tenants of my mother'i so that upon my entrance I was respectfully greeted, and the seat of honour was immediately ceded to me : thus I soon found myself in the large settle by the fire, with a jug of capital ale on a small round lable before me. There is always a sort of freemasonry amongst the guests in an inn kitchen, which is admirably conducive to conviviality and good- humour; and this is more particularly the ease on a stormy night, when the: churlish tempest levels all distinctions, and respects the poorest peasant quite as much as the proudest patrician. The conversation, therefore, goes on uninterrupted hy the arrival of a new- coiner, and every one who has been benighted on a tempestuous evening is well acquainted with the usual conversation in an inn- kitchen on a stormy night, more especially in those pastoral districts where superstition so powerfully sways the minds and manners of the people. All the horrible inci- dents of the district are revived, and duly commented upon; all imminent perils by flood and field, from time immemorial, are related; ' and the time is beguiled by strange stories of ghosts aiid goblins, of black spirits and white, blue spirits and grey, with all their trumpery, all are solemnly attested, aud all implicitly believed. 4 Meanwhile the landlord rouses up the fire, While well attested and as well believed, Heard solemn, goes the goblin story round, Till superstitious horror creeps o'er all.' 44 Precisely thus was it with us at Pont Vathew, and divers strange and marvellous narrations were feelingly related by my untutored aud honest com- panions. The principal subject, however, was a murder, which had beeu perpetrated many years ago close to the spot where we were assembled, and under circumstances of peculiar mystery and atrocity, A young man, the son of a neighbouring farmer, had for some time paid his addresses to the daughter of a widow, whose husband had acted as a sort of bailiff to the Owens of Ynysymaengwyn. She was as pretty, modest, and good a girl as could be found on the hill side from Towyn to Dolgelly; and had, unfortunately for our young farmer, already fixed her affections upon another individual. Nothing daunted at this, however, Evan Davies still preferred his suit with unremitting ardour and perseverance. But in vain : the maiden loved him not, and so his addresses were rejected. Indeed he was one whom very few maidens coulvd love. His disposition was as brutal and passionate as his manners were boisterous aud dissolute; and it is said that he was connected with a gang of smugglers, who frequented the neighbouring* coast. In the secluded districts of North Wales— and this is one of the most secluded as well as one of the most romantic— all the inhabitants of such districts are well and intimately known to each other; and so are all their virtues and vices. Ellen Owen, therefore, was no stranger to the profli gacy of Evan Davies, and she began to be alarmed for the result of bis persevering attentions. She had gone one day to Towyn market fo dispose of some eggs and butter from her inofher'i little farm, where it was Ellen's delight to carry its humble produce; for Morgan Williams, her own true love, was generally at the market, aud a meeting with him always; increased the innocent pleasures of this virtuous girl. On the present occasion, however, Morgan was not there, for he had gone to another part of the country upon business for his father. Ellen sold her little stock, nnd then went to see a kind old aunt who lived in the town. Now, kind old aunts are proverbially given to gossiping, and th time passed away so pleasantly, that evening had already arrived before Ellen quilted the cottage ; and, oh ! how she wished that her dear Morgan was with her, as she thought of the long lonely way which she had to traverse! But thinking how delighted her good mother would feel when she wrapped round her the warm woollen shawl which she had purchased with a portion of her own little savings, and it may be not wholly unmindful of the affectionate kindnesses of her lover, she tripped merrily on her way, and hoped to reach fier home before the night should overtake her. She was seen to cross the brook which, runs across the road just at the entrance to Towyn,. by one of the persons who was present with me. at Pont Vathew ; and he spoke to her as she passed, cautioning her to speed quickly on her way, as there would be a storm that evening, and it might come suddenly. Ellen thanked him for his advice, and passed on. But she had not left Towyn long before a tempest — such as is rarely seen iu that district of storms— arose, agitating earth aud heaven with its violence. The peasant who spoke to Ellen as he entered the town hoped that she might reach her home in safety, but shuddered when he thought of the long, dreary, rugged'path which led thither. Dreadful indeed was the devastation wrought by that sudden tempest. Houses, cattle, and trees were carried away by the mountain torrents, and the woods and meadows'* by. the river's side were over- flowed with water for many a day afterwards. But what became of the poor solitary maiden in that dreadful commotionh Alas ! she never reached her liappy home again! 44 On that terrible evening there were assembled at the Blue Lion at Pont Vathew several individtni' who took shelter from the tempest as they were returning from Towyn market. Once they thought, when the storm was at its height, that they heard hriek near the house; but looking out, they could see nothing in the thick darkness, and hear nought but the plashing of ihe troubled waters,- and the soughing of the furious wind. The next morning,^ however, a peasant from a neighbouring cottage was going over the bridge, when his attention . was attracted by something in tire river, which, appeared to'him like the carcase of a drowned sheep. It had passed Under the bridge, and just beyond it was stopped by the depending branches of an o* ier. As he approached it he was undeceived in hisexpecta. tion, and found, to his1 niwost horror and astouish ment, that it was tlie dead body of- a female, and lifting it out of the water, he discovered the well- known features of poor, Iillen Owen. Running to the hamlet, he made known his dis^ o'S'ery, and the corpse of the ill- fated girl was conveyed to the Blue Lion, till her unhappy mother could be apprised of the event. On looking at the body* a bystander perceived an unusual appearance about the neck, seemed as if it had been violently grasped, for it was nearly encircled by livid streaks, plainly indicatiu, the indigitations ofa large and powerful hand. In country like North Wales, murder is a crime rarely perpetrated, that the very idea of it is held fearful horror; and on this occasion the simpl peasants could scarcely persuade themselves that any one could exist sufficiently brutal and wicked destroy th^ life of so meek and blameless a being Ellen Owen. The proof, however, was before them, and they soon found an individual upon whom they could fix the commission of that most fo^ il and horrible jdeed. First one recollected, then another, that he had seen Evan Davies loitering on the road j to Towyn on that terrible evening; and the suspicion that he was the murderer was powerfully corrobo- rated by his total disappearance from that day to the one on which I heard the story at Pont Vathew. No one saw or even heard of him afterwards, although Morgan Williams used every effort for his discovery and apprehension. So the corpse of the maiden was consigned to the silent dust amidst the tears and lameutations of those vSho knew and loved her. 44 Time passed on, and twenty years bad elapsed since the perpetration of a crime which was yet fresh in the memory of all, and the relation of which never failed to beguile- the winter's evening in many a peasant's cottage. But Pont Vathew was haunted ever after by the beautiful apparition of Ellen Owen; a storm never occurred without bringing with it the troubled spirit of the murdered maiden ; and there are few of the peasants of that rude district who have not seen it struggling amidst the foam of the flooded river, or heard its shrieks rising high above the roar of the rushing waters. I was particularly interested by this narrative, and this interest was augmented, when I found that it was exactly two and twenty years ago that very day that the murder was com- mitted. The coincidence was remarkable; but the sequel was yet more so. 44 The evening bad become far advanced, and tbe storm was still raging with violence. The lightning, however, was less vivid and frequent, and tin thunder- claps Were not so loud nor so prolonged. We were sitting very comfortably round the fire, and commenting upon the horrible narration which 1 have just related, when in one of those intervals of tranquillity, where the tempest seemed, as ii were, to pause for breath, we heard a long, loud, and almost unearthly scream, and then a plashing of waters, as if some one was struggling in the river. 4 There, sir!' exclaimed several voices simultaneously, 4 hear the ghost! The Lord have mercy; upon us!' and we were all instantly and completely silent. Now the Welsh are a highly superstitious people; but they are also generous and heroic; and upon my repre- senting that it might have been the shout of some drowning person which we had heard, with one accord we all rushed out towards the river. It was as dark as pitch, excepting that part of the river immediately above the bridge, and this w lumined by a broad red light, which threw a lurid reflection upon the opposite hank, and encircled th body of a man, who seemed striving with some unseen aud terrible power in the troubled waters. In an instant the light was quenched, and the struggling ceased; but on hastening to the river- side, we saw the body of a man floating down with the current A boat- hook being at hand, we succeeded in arrest ing its progress, and, r/ etitually, in bridging it to land. We carried it into the bouse, and used every means to restore animation. But all in vain: life had been utterly extinguished, and the swollen aud distorted features of the corpse indicated the severe struggle of the final contest. The deceased appeared to be a stranger. He was a middle- aged man, rather gent. eeliy dressed; and as no one knew him, his pockets vvere searched, to lead to the requisite discovery. Several papers were produced, most of them relating, to nautical affairs, and nearly ail b{ them indorsed 4 John Oliver.' lii a pocket- book were also found bank- notes to the amount of nearly 40 pounds ; and, upon a more careful scrutiny," a letter was discovered, which cleared up'all the mystery incident to ihe stranger's name and destination. It was very illegibly written, and evidently the produc- tion of a sailor, who was then a prisoner in the county gaol at Dolgelly for smuggling. It seemed that for twenty pounds'he could effect his release, and be had written to the deceased, urging him to come forward with the money, and arrange" matters for his liberation, at the same time threatening, in the event of his refusal to disclose the particulars of certain murder which John Oliver had committed some twenty years ago at Pont Vathew. The horri ble truth now flashed upon us : the drowned stranger as Evan Davies; but not one of us dared to ask hat was the lurid light which we had seen on th ver.^— Repository of Arts, Literature, Fashions, 8$ c. for November. HSigcelLmeou!* Sntclttaencc. FOOT RACE.— The foot race for 100 sovereigns between Mr. C. Cholmondeley, and Mr. Tulle- mache, which has excitcd so much attention in this neighbourhood, took place yesterday ( Thurs- day) intheavenue near the Lodge Gales at Oulton, and was won cleverly hy Mr. Tollemache.— The day was extremely unfavourable, the rain descend " ng without the slightest intermission. Braham is said to be the richest actor on the stage, although Muntlen boasts of having near a plum. During the run of Der Freis- chutz at the English Opera- House, Braham received £ 150 per week ; and for the las) 24 years he is supposed to have averaged £ 12,000 per annum by his talents. He lives in the greatest style of magnificence. Such is the cheapness of labour on the Con- tinent, in comparison with England, thai the best Hertfordshire straw is actually sent to Switzerland, plaited, and returned to England where, notwithstanding the importduty of 17s, it may after all be sold about 5s. in the pound cheaper than plat made iu this country I The Earl of Newcastle, who fought so heroically in the cause of Charles 1. against the parliamentary forces, and who afterwards retired, with his family, to Holland, until the restoration, was iu such distressed circumstances for years at Antwerp, that according to the account of his Duchess they wer both reduced to the necessity of pawning their wearing apparel for subsistence, although his estates in England were then worth about £ 20,000 year. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.— On Thursday morning last, between three and four o'clock, a fire of very destructive nature broke out in the bleach works of Mr. Thomas Hardcasile and Son, of Firwood, near Bolton.- Tbe engines arrived from Bolton as early as possible, aud every exertion immediately made by the workmen and other in the neighbourhood, to extinguish the dames. These efforts, however, proved unavailing ; for Ihe powerful element raged so furiously, lhat iu a very short period the whole of the expensive machinery, about four thousand pieces of cotton and other goods, together wilh the interior part of the build ing, were utterly destroyed.— It is not known how tbe calamity originated.— The building, we under stand, is insured, and likewise the property, but lo what amount we are not informed. It may be consoling to parents wlio are in the first crisis of impatience, at the sort of hopeless stupidity which some children exhibit, to know thai the dawn of. Sheridan's intellect was as dull and unpromising as its meridian day was bright aud lhat in the year 1759, he who, in less lhan thirty years afterwards, held senates in chains by his eloquence, aud audiences fascinated by his wit was, by common consent both of parents and pre. ceptor, pronounced to be " a most impenetrable dunce." A MAN WHO BCRIED TWENTY WIVES.— St Jerome says that he saw a certain man at Rome, but whom he does not name, who had outlived twenty wives. The last wife was herself a widow, and had been married to nineteen husbands. When she died, he had a crown placed on his head to follow her to the grave, as though it was a thing to rejoice at or triumph over. THE JEWS.— A Journal from Berlin has observed that the whole Jewish population, which, iu the times , of Kings David and Solomon, amounted to four millions, does not at preseut exceed three millions two hundred thousand individuals, who are scat- tered about as follows:— In Bavaria 53,402 ; in Saxony 1,300 i in Hanover 6,100; in Wur- temberg 9,06S ; in Baden 16.930; in the Principality of Hesse 5,110; iu Ducal Hesse 14,982; in the remainder of Ihe Confedera- lion 18,248 ; in Frankfort ou the Main 5,200 ; in Lubeck 400? in Hamburgh 8000: in Austria 453,545 ; in Prussia 134,980 ; in Russia 426,908 ; ill Poland 239,000; ill Great Britain 12,000 ; iu France 60,000 ; in Holland SOJOOO, of which 20,100 are at Amsterdam; in Sweden 450; in Denmark 6,000; in Switz- erland 1,970, in Italy 36,900; in the Ionian Islands 7,000; iu Cracow 7,800; in Turkey in Europe 231,000; in Asia 438,000, of which 300,000 are in Turkey in Asia; in Africa 504,000, of which 300,000 are at Morocco and Fez ; iu America 5,700 5 in the Australasia 50.— The Jews. are not tolerated in Spain or Portugal; and are not to be met with at all in Norway. In Hie Austrian States they enjoy very few privileges j in England their situation by 110 means satisfactory. The laws re specting them iu Russia are very rigorous. In the Confederated States, France, Holland, and Prussia, they enjoy all the rights of citizens, but fill no public employments. Singular Method of dispensing Justice.— The Rev. Mr. II. a gentleman of singular humour, and brother to a 110 less singular law- peer, relired to ease and independence, as the rector of in Kent. Being a justice of the peace, lie was frequently teazed with some idle differences among tbe inhabitants of the place. Not being willing to be broken in upon by such frivolous complaints, when application was made to him for redress of some imaginary injury, his custom was to dismiss them, with saying " he would send for them when he had more leisure to attend lo their business." The first rainy day that next happened, he took care to send for the parties, and receiving them sitting in the porch of the door, which just provided shelter for himself and his clerk whilst the complainants were obliged to stand exposed to the inclement sky, all the while uncovered to pay proper respect to the Kin^ justice of the peace. By this means he entirely cured the country folks iu the neighbourhood of litigious dispositions. His blunt manner of enforcing wholesome truths as a clergyman was as remarkable as his peculiarity in the commission of the peace. One Sunday he was preaching on moral duties from these words:— " Render, therefore, unto all their due, explaining his text, he observed, that there were duties which" a man owed to himself as well as to others; " and," added he, " when they are not attended to, I have never had good opinion of that man. For this reason ( turning himself to a particular part of the church,) " I never had a good opinion of you John Trull, since you sold me those sheep six months ago, and have never called- for the money.'" GREAT FOOT RACE.— The great foot race for 1000 sovereigns, between Dalton, one of the fastest runners iu England, and Captain Coulton, look place over two miles of ground Atherstone Park, Bucks. The distance was sixteen miles, and Dalton gave his opponent four minutes. The race was run by Dalton in 63 minutes and 57 seconds; , and by Captain oulton in 68 minutes and 18 seconds. Capt. oultou fell off his speed in the lltli mile, nd was at length beat easy. Dalton's run- ning stands in this inslance as great as any on record. The Stockton aud Darlington Railway is now in full operation. O11 Monday week, the first regular supply of coals at Yarm arrived, consisting of 20 waggons, which were soon sold at about one- half the price they had previously borne. ODDITIES AND ABSURDITIES USED IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.— What a variety of ex. pressions in our language are open to tbe charge of absurdity in one way or other, and yet Ihey have been used for ages, probably, aud will as probably continue to be used to the end of time!— You meet a friend and ask after his health, be tells you that he enjoys a very had state of health ; now, certainly, a man who can enjoy such an evil is more to be envied than the Monarch on his throne. You dine with another friend, who, by ' way of giving you a notion of some particular dish or dishes, a turkey and chine perhaps, seriously assures you that nothing is better; now I'm such a plain old fashioned fellow as to deem the afore- said dishes much better than nothing. You are continually advised to fa he care of your cold ; when it would be much better to get rid of your cold and take care of your health. A very bus- tling, active, and able young woman, is called notable ; whereas, if you ask a feeble worn- out creature to do auy thing, she tells you in the very same letters, only dividing them, that she is not able. Here again, is another queer word, nervous; man's language is said to be fine and nervous; a blacksmith's arm is said to be nervous ; a poor hipped lady is said to be nervous. If you are in the country and inquire tbe way, you will possibly be lo! d,- that Ihe road runs through such a place and such a place; now we have heard of running horses, and running footmen, and running streams, but what think ye of a running road ? A Paris paper contains a letter from Mr. T- angsdorff, Consul General of the Emperor of Russia in ihe Brazils, mentioning lhat an in- fallible remedy for lhat cruel disease the dropsy has been discovered in the root of a kind of endive, called in that country by the name of cainca : a quantity of which is slated to have been sent to Russia, Berlin, and Eh gland, for the purpose of experinient. THE POETICAL CASK.— Our Readers MNV remember that the remains of the late Lord Byron were, for better preservation, enclosed in a tub, on being shipped for England. This classic tub became the property of the Captain of the vessel, the Rodney, if we remember right, in which it was brought over. The Geutleman being well aware lhat any tiling connected wilh ( he Noble Bard would be eagerly sought after, exhibited this relic at the modest price of half- a- crown; and such of the dilettanti as were not fortuuate enough to obtain a view ofthe body itself, contented them- selves with a peep at the precious cask, which had for so many days and nights been the sacred depository of departed greatness. Dio- genes, the great philosopher, was indebted to a tub for some portion of his immortality 5 and we presume that our great Poet, on the same principle, is to have his name and fame perpetuated, by the same memorial. The prurient appetite of curiosity speedily ate itself up, and the exhibitor of Ihe tub, finding that it became a rather unprofitable speculation, ultimately sold it at a very extravagant price to a poetical Cooper ( not the poet Cooper) residing somewhere in Whitechapel, from whom it was afterwards purchased by a col- leclor of antiques, who treasured it up with reverential respect in a museum of curiosities, for the term of his natural life. At the demise of this Gentleman, his effects and defects, for- tunes and foibles, monies and mummies, c » « kets and cask ( the Byron tub), descended to his next of kin, a pork butcher in Shoe- lane. This Gentleman, not being smitten with the Anti- quarian mania of his deceased relative, set but little value' on the cabinet of curiosities of hidi he found himself possessed. Hercu- aneum and Pompeii's remains he paid just as much respect to, as if they had been dug out front a common- place fire in the Borough or St. Giles's. Coins of the remotest dale were exchanged, for shillings, sixpences, and even for halfpence; and " Lord Byron's tub" was bartered with a cooper in Middle New- street, for a vulgar water- but, and half a dozen buckets. " To what base uses may we not come at last;" Ihe present possessor, being some- what a friend to " Ihe Muses," spared the precious relic from demolition, » it he has converted it into a sign of his profession. He placed it in front of his door, and any one whose curiosity has not yet beeu gritified may view it without either trouble or expense any day they take the trouble to walk to New- street- hill, which is henceforward to be called the " Parnassus of London." Referring to the above statement, it has been remarked, that Lord Byrou returned, as he went out, " a pickle." To MAKE OATS PROVE DOUBLY NUTRITIOUS TO HORSES.— Instead of grinding the oats break them. in a mill, and the same quantity will prove doubly nutritious. Another method to boil the com, and give the horses the liquor in which it has been boiled : the result will be, that instead of six bushels in a crude state, three bushels so prepared will be found to answer, and to keep the animals in superior vigour and condition. To preserve black- lead pencil drawings, ap- ply a thin wash of isingl iss, which will prevent the rubbing off either of black- lead or of hard black chalk. The simple application of skim- med milk will produce the same effect. In using the latter, lay the drawing flat upon the surface of the milk; then taking it up, ex peditiously, hang it by one corner till it drains and dries. Ttie milk must be free from cream, or it will grease the paper. The glass chimnies in use for oil and gas lamps frequently burst, owing to knots in the glass, when it is imperfectly annealed, but more frequently to an inequality of thickness at the lower end, which prevents the glass from expanding uniformly when heated.— M. Cadet de Vaux slates, that when the evil arises from the latter cause it may be cured by- making a cut with a diamond in the bottom of the tube. We believe it may be laid down as a law, that wherever coal fires are used, the west end of the town will be preferred for fashionable residence. The reason is, that iu the tem- perate zones the prevailing westerly winds bear the smoke in au opposite direction, and hence the east end of a large town generally appears enveloped in a dense atmosphere. London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, are al! moving westward. Last week a small bottle- nosed shark, too eager in pursuit of prey, jumped out of tiie water at the beach at Lyme, and was carried about for the inspection of the curious, THE PARLIAMENT.— Front the Telescope of Sunday. — It is generally supposed lhat Parliament must of necessity he dissolved early in next year, hut this is a mislake; fur the Parliament did not meet till the 20th of April, 1820, and as its duration is not Sessional hut Septennial, it will not expire until the 20th of April, 1827. The instances which, since the present family came to the throne, have occurred of Parliaments continuing above six years, ore the following:— In the reign of George the Second, the Parliament met the 2d of November, 1727, was not dissolved till the 18th April, 1734, having existed six years, four nionlhs, and Iwenty- one days. The Parliament immediately following, met the 13th June, 1734, and sat till 28ih April, 1741, being six years, ten nionlhs, and fifteen days ( which was Ihe greatest duration of any Parliament, since the long- one of Cromwell). Tlie Parliament which met the 13th of August, 1747, continued until ihe 8th April, 1754, being six years, seven months, nnd twenty- six days. The following on* met the 31st May, 1754, and continued until the20th March, 1761, being six years, nine months, and twenty days, The first Parliament of George the Third met May, 1761, and sat until 12ih March, 1768, being six years, nine months, and twentv- one days.— The following Parliament met 10th May, 1768, and sal until 30th September, 4774, being sjx years, four months, and twenty days. The Parlia. ment which met 18lh May, 1784, sat" until 10th June, 1790, being six years ami twenty- three days. That which met the 27th September, 1796, eat until 29th June, 1802, being six years, nine months, and three days. Since then no Parliament has continued for six years; though the one which commenced in November, 1812, lasted within six months of that period. At the Salford Sessions last week, John Blome- ley, aged 34, Thomas Holt, 25, James Ashwurth, 26, and Thomas Dixon^ were indicted for stealing from Samuel Digole £ 110 in Bank and promissory notes.—- On, the day of the robbery, the 28th of September, the prosecutor, an old man, whilst on his way to the Bauk, called at a public- house in Spotland, where the prisoners were drinking. One of the company offered to bet a wager that he could produce more money than the pro ecutor, and afterwards placed a £ 5 note in the hand of the landlady. The prosecutor instantly produced the former sum of iiioney, and put it also iu the landlady's hand; when it was agreed that the old man had won the wager. Half a gallon of ale was then brought in, and tbe prosecutor was so plentifully supplied with drink, that in a short time he became quite intoxicated. He did not miss his money until the following morning, when lie made known tbe circumstances which bad taken place the preceding night, and the prisoners were ail apprehended.— A verdict of guilty was returned against each of them; and Holt was sentenced to transportation for fourteen, and the other three for seven years each. At the Middlesex fessions on Salurdav, William Jones% alias Mil/, alias IVcn( wortht alias lngall% was found guilty of obtaining money under false pretences, by means of begging letters. In one of these letters the prisoner spoke of 44 his aching heart and mind, bordering on despair," of his 44 emanat- ing from a respectable family," and being the son of a 44 much respected clergyman," of his wife's recent confinement of twins, both dead, while. herself, 44poor woman," was tbe victim of a nervous fever, which flew to her brain, nd occasioned her being sent to a private mad house, from which she h id been re- moved to St. Luke's— of his inability to follow is profession of a miniature- painter, in con- sequence of gout and rheumatism— and, finally, ofthe necessity he was under of soliciting a trifling pecuniary assistance 44 to mitigate the keen pressure of distress," and for which he was to be 44 bound in eternal ties of gratitude," & c. & c. & c. This was signed 44 A. Ingall," and attached to it was a note purporting lo be certificate of Dr. Nesbitt, of Chelsea, vouching for Mr. Ingal ' s respectability, and recommending him as a fit object for bene- volence, Upon this representation he received 4s. from a Mrs. Walker; aud the same even- ing he aud a woman who lived wilh him as his wife were found drunk in the Hampstead- road, from which they ^ ere conveyed to the watch- house in a wheelbarrow. The whole ofthe statements contained in the above letter were proved to be false j and the certificate to be a forgery. The prisoner in h; s defence merely observed, that it did not appear to hi tn to have been satisfactorily proved to the Jury that the letter produced was the same hich had been presented by him to Mrs. Walker. The Chairman sentenced him to be transported for 7 years.. In the Court of King's Bench, on Tuesday, ao action was brought hy the Rev. Mr. Robinson, to recover £ 5000, which he had paid into the hand* of Mr. Ward, his attorney, to be vested in the funds. The money in question was the proceed* of an estate sold in Hampshire, and after it was received by Mr. Ward he paid it into the banking- house of Marsh, Stracey, and Co. That house soon after became insolvent The question was, whether tbe money so deposited with tbe banker, in the name of the defendant, was to be considered the money of the plaintiff. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— damages £ 50 » 0. At the Middlesex Sessions on'Phursday, the Grand Jury returned true bills for libel, on the prosecution of Mr. Martin, the Member for Galway, against Mr. Clements, proprietor of the Morning Chroni- cle ; Mr. Thwaites, proprietor of the Morning Herald; and Mr. Cadell, publisher of Black- wood's Magazine, for remarks on his conduct iu endeavouring to prevent cruelty to animals. At the county meeting, convened by the High Sheriff, and held nt Norwich last week, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the im- mediate mitigation of Slavery throughout the British Colonies, and for its extinction at the earliest safe aud practicable period, resolutions to that effect were, after considerable discussion, entered into. Lords Suffield, Calthorpe, and W. Bentinck ; Col. IVodehouse, M. P. E. YVodehouse, Esq. M. P. T. F. Buxton, Esq. M. P. Dr. Lushiugton, M. P. J. J. Gurney, Esq. Rev. J. B. Collyer, &. c. took part iu the proceedings;— In the course of the discussion, it appeared that some official papers had been lately received from the Islands, confirmatory ofthe view* of the abolitionists; and some of the facts authen- ticated by these documents were detailed at great length, and commented on with much ability by Lord Suffield. Col. Wodehouse strongly condemned the course proposed to be pursued by the meeting. The. question, be said, was beset with difficulties, which the Government was anxious to overcome, but every step taken by such meetings as these in- volved the safety ofthe Colonies, aud the security of the lives and properties of every person in them. Mr. Buxton in reply ridiculed this idea, and vindi- cated the propriety of petitioning Parliament, on the ground that the expression of the people's voice was requisite to support the Government in its benevolent designs, and to enable it to make head against the efforts and influence of those who are interested in the perpetuation of slavery.
