IThe publication of our first Number de- mands from us an explanation of the motives which have induced us to embark in the present undertaking, and of the line of conduct we intend to pursue in its progress; and although the former has been detailed at some length in the prospectus which we have already sub- mitted, it may not be foreign to our pages to enter into a recapitulation of them at the present moment. And here we might intrench our- selves under tliat general avidity for Literature which pervades all classes of society, visitldg alike the cottage of Ihe I'easant and the palace of the Prince, did not other and more local motives wirac to our assistance. Amid the stu- pendous and still increasing rise of literature, and of prriodical publications in particular, which forms one of the chief charaeteristics of tlie present age, it must have occurred to many a reflecting mind as a matter of surprise and been contemplated with regret, that so large a population as the CINQUE Ports pos- sess, should he without a Journal primarily devoted to their interests, the register of their internal occurrences and the guardian of their various privileges. What these privileges aro, from whom and in what manner obtained, and by what means circumscribed or lost, must have been a subject of the greatest importance in every age, and yet it is a plain matter of fact, that till the present moment no attempt lias been made or plan suggested, which by noting down from time to time " each moment as it flies", might i'mite to the protection of those privileges when openly svsailed, or prompt to their assertion, when either a careless or timid acquicsccnce iu measure likely to endanger them might form a precedent for their annihilation. 4- 0 accomplish these purposes, would wo trust be sUtticieul to warrant our design, but general utility is not wanting as a farther incitement. In a Maritime aud Commercial, no less than a Political point of view, the importance of the CINQUE POrTS cannot be denied; these very advantages first procured for them rights ami privileges peculiarly their own, and so long as commerce shall waft its immense and varied treasures from all pi; rts of the World along the liritish Channel, such importance must continue; nay more, the very existence of'an opposite Continent stamps them as one of llie most important bulwarks of Great Britain. ' I'hus situated and thus important they beeome an object of the deepest interest to 110 small a proportion id' the Inhabitants of the British Dominions. The Statesman be- holds in them the Channel whence proceeds his varied diplomatic correspondence; To the Merchant they perhaps for the lirst time during a long and anxious period, convey the pleasiug prospect of his long expected treasures in a fair passage to their ultimate destination, or with no less interest, though of a different nature, astound him with the heart rending intelligence of his frail bark consigned to the bosom id' the uupitying deep; while to the fashionable world aud the public at large they preseut an ever varying scene, and constant succession of events whieh never fail to gratify the eye, and engage the attention. Firmly convinced therefore, that the path is fairly open, which if properly beaten cannot fail of proving acceptable to the public in' general, we have ventured to enter into it, and in so doing are well aware of the iin- jHirtance of the attempt, and the difficulties we shall have to encounter in our progress. Appealing however with the utmost confidence to the caudour and generosity of impartial and liberal criticism, we proceed to enumerate a few of llie leading points, on which we solicit for the CINQUE PORTS HERALD, that patronage aud encouragement, which it shall evTt" IK- our endeavour to deserve. With respect to political matters' we shall merely remark that we shall reserve to ourselves j the undoubted right of every Englishman, j to weigh in an impartial balance the passing : events in the gnat theatre of political life, fearlessly rendering to all, what may be. the | the result of our dispassionate consideration. It will be our aim to support by every means in our power the privileges ot the t IN QUE PORTS collectively and indi\ iclually, ai. d to this end we shall weekly lay before our readers a correct and faithful detail of their internal occurrenccs, and of every event in any way connnected with them. The shipping interests w ill of course, from our locality engage our peculiar attention anil in this department, it will he our study to hold up to | luhlic encouragement those intrepid exertions, which, fearless of impending danger form so noble a characteristic of the British seaman: and to comprise every other maritime occurrence which cart be interesting to the commerrnrf" or curious reader. To our advertising Friends, and to any in- div idual dceasional correspondence with which we may l » e favonred, we shall ever be ready to p'ly prompt and diligent attention, ami we pledge ourselves, that no expence shall be spared la render the CINQUE PORTS HERALD worthy of general approbation, and to comprise within its pa£ es a mass of information at once useful, ( utilising, scientific, and instructive.

PLYMOUTH, NoV. 14. ., For some weeks past th'a public here have been on the tiptoe of expectation to witness the ascent of mrs Grahamt in nit elegant large bal- loon. After two distippolntmeiitiT, controlled by ungovernable cireuinstantjos,' Ihi* day the ascent, was accomplished, and assuredly nil. imposing and gratifying Spectacle It was. The ballooti was inflated in the market- place-, Stonehouse.-, the gas being supplied from Mill- bay gasometer. With their accustomed urbanity, the Earl and Countess of Morley, patronized the festive scCl'. o; and a Committee of Gcntlefnen Superintended the ascent, which took place rtbout three o'clock this afternoon, in tho preseticg of at least lftjOOO spectators. The wind blew fresh oft' the land, from N. N. w. but Mrs. Graham had resolved not again to disappoint the public; all things, therefore, being prepared, she took lief - place in the cur, accompauied by Mr. Graham and Mr. Grills, of our dock- ynrd, who had paid hand- somely lot1 a trip to tile upper region/*. It was soon discovered that the maohine was not suffi- ciently filled to carry more than two persons, and to administer more gas was considered dan- gerous to the occupants of, the car, from t'iie impossibility in such case of mafiaging the pro- gress of the balloon, and bearing it away from the oceani Mr. Grills was, consequently, left behind. After being in the ait about 15 nriiutes, making an altitude of nearly a mile, the \ ialloon rapidly descended^ Mr. Graham having < yid en un- expected to reach terra firma near tl/ o Mew- stone, abont sevdfi miles distance. i n this he was inostnnforttiilKtCly disappointed. The bal- loon dropped'into thp sea about a n/ ile from the shore. a boat belonging to Colone'i Vinecombe, of the Marines, was- seen instanti'y arriving to the assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Graham, who, we are happy to state, were lan tied in safety at tlie Admiral's yard, ' Stonehouse. A carriage being provided, the neronauts proceeded to the Crown Hotel, DcVonport, ** herc they arrived before six o'clock. SubseqMl'ntly fthe* boll- mnn bavins announced their inU.- ntion) they attended the Theatre Royal here ( o, nc of the most elegant provincials in tho kitigdo'. n), when they had the lionour of a public welcome, on the most pro- vidential rescuo, by a crowded and brilliant audience. The Earl and Conntess of Morley and all our nobility, and gentry were present. The public enjoyment, and the proprietors pro- fits, were, of co » r » e, sadly diminished be the cir- cumtssnce of the balloon hating been blown to sea.— After it gotf disentangled from the car, it asccned to an uu para i led height over the Chan- nel, with a strung breeze towards the French coast. The balloon was subsequently picked up at sea, by sou>. e fishermen, off this port. SAMUEL CROOK. EXECUTION.— The awful sentence of the, law was carried inlo feflect on Wednesday last, Samtlel Crooke, convicted at the September Sessions of robbing lii* master, an extensive silk- warehouseman in Spitalfieids, of property to a very considerable amount. The miserable youth conducted himself through the whole of Tuesday with a becoming decencv, and before retiring to rest, joined in prayer with Mr. Isaac, Mr. Baker, and- Mr. Collyer. At seven o'clock on Wednosday morning: Mr. Sheriff Kelly attend- ed, and was immediately conducted to the cha- pel, where Dr. Cotton, and the three spiritual advisers before named, were joining in prayer with the convict. At half- past seven, the Un- der Sheriffs and the Officers who have to per- form the awful duty of preparing- the convicts for the hands of the executioner also arrived, and every preparation having been made, the youthful culprit was brought into the press- room on the arms of Mr. Isaac and Mr. Col- lyer. He appeared wholly resigned to his fate, and a few minutes before eight o'clock the pro- cession moved forward.— The miserable youth could scarcely support himself, and a few mi- nutes having been spent in prayer, the signal was given, the drop fell, and the world closed on him forever. He died without a struggle. This unfortunate youth, who w; as executed on Wednesday morning, addressed the following let- ter to his afflicted parents, the night before he suf- fered :— Newgate, Nov. 15, 1825. My dear Father and Mother, In my present unfortunate situation, i feel it my duty to write to you, expressive of my feelings and prospects, as relates to the so nearly up- proaching change that must take place in regard of another world: ami 1 think it my happiness, as well us my duty,' that i havo the opportunity thus to console your minds in review of the be- reavement you will have experienced before you will receive from mo these my dying words. 1 cannot but feci, and that in regard of my punishment, thatit is severe, butownthe sentence just. My mind, 1 can assure you, most affecti- onately, is made up, and i hope to sutler death, and be the inheritor of everlasting life. i find consolation in'thc eh& png thought, that Christ,' my Saviour, also suffered, but that he suffered for the sins of others, but i am consigned to die for my own crime. 1 hope, and humbly pray, that iu a very few hours 1 shall exchange abody of sin and world of trials, for a state of happiness, and the embrace of a crucified Saviour, ami hope i can apply the following verses to my own ex- perience : Christ Is my hope, and my salvation too— I now am dying; ' tis nil 1 have to do. My hope is fixed < 1 will not be afraid : A sinner saved 1 am, my debts paid- Farewell, dear friends, whom I have lov'd so well, May you escape the path that leads to hell. Farewell vain world, I've done with all your toys, And hope to enter into endless joys. 1 leave behind this poor corrupted clay, Intoinb'd in earth, till the preat rising day— When Christ shall come, this body then will rise, And join the bless'd redeem'd above tlje skies. Then you who stand around and sec me 4ie, No longer mourn for me, no longer sigh; Make him your friend, who's been a friend to me, And then you're safe to all eternity. My dear friends weep not for me, but consi- der me as gone a little before. It is a mercy that I am so situated as to have time to repent, and that I am not cut off without warning. My brother William, 1 hope will by my fall, take warning, and forsake every evil way ; nud, as is said above, escape that path that leads to hell. Ttf.: has time given him for repentance, and I Wish with my dying words, that he will avail himself of tlie blessing it affords. Be Betsey, I feel much for her, and hope the lord will repay her for ller kindnesses to nie, aid that ere long, she maybe the happy subject of Christ's kingdom and glory. My sister Catherine, and my dear Mary, I also wish the same happiness, as I expect so shortly to realize; my best thanks are due to Mary for bet attention to mei. My brothers, John, George, and Benjamin, 1 hope will look back to my misfortunes, and ayoid tlte rock upon which I have unhappily fallen. As apprentices, 1 pl'ay them to be faithful) atten- tive, and to treat the property of their employers as indeed sacred— touch not, taSte not, handle not, dishonestly) and let all see that they ttet and think as iu God's immediate sight, and be sun; that sin will liud them out. Farewell, may the- Lord cOmfort and support you as he has done me, and may my brothers ( my dear parents) prdve that Comfort to yon that is forbidden now to me; but I am going to join those that through much tribulation, have entered the kingdom. My best thanks are due to every person here for the great kindness they have iltewn kne on all occasions. Mr. Baker has been extremely kind, as hai Rev. Mr. Collier; and for Mr. Isaac's goodness in attending me so constantly, and instructing me I am extremely thinkful, and hope the Lord will reward them all in n fu- ture state ; it is his promise that those thai water others shall l> e wateced also of the Lord, Mr. Cotton has also been very kind to me. To them, and nil the olfioehs of thclprison I feel treatly indebted. | My dear friend, Mr. Isaacs, will inform you of my dying state, and some temporary wishes as, to the interment of my remains. Farewell, dear friends, tuay the Lord comfort you and bless yon. Your nnfortohato, but hope's penitent, son, SAM CROOK. Tuesday night, nine o'clock. To some questions put to him by Mr. Isaac, he stated as follows: I am innocent of what was charged against me in White's- row, which the young woman swore. Also respecting the iron which was pro- duced on my trial. I did not See it to my know ledge for three weeks or a month. Also that I did hot change my dress as was stated, i was drawn into it by my brother and Mason, only two days before my apprehension. I would wish my late master to be informed that I am sorry for what I did by the persuasion of those who ought to have taught me otherwise. I die in peace with him, and I hope we shall meet in that place where sin and sorrow shall never more be known. To- morrow week I wish all that is mortal that belongs to me,, to lie interred in the burial ground of Gloucester Chapel, Hackney Fields. ' On Wednesday morning he appeared quite happy— withdrew to a corner of the room, and appeared to agrtnize with God in prayer. About seven, the sheriffs, in company with the Rev. Mr. Collier, Vicar of Hambleton, Rutlandshire, entered, he received him very affectionately. Mr. Sheriff Kelly has humanely forwarded to the wretched parents of the youth, by the Rev. Mr. Isaac, a very handsome pecuniary pnesent. The fatlu r is a journeyman optician, and resides with his family, consisting of seven children, at No. 10, Goldsmiths- place, Hackney- road, In the Bankrupt Act passed last Session, the important clause which compels assignees to file an account in the chancery court, of every unpaid Dividend in their hand* within six months frqg|- the passing of the Act, will ex- pire iu twoTnouths.

Unwin esq. and coiitipuc- 1 by ad- journment on tjie body of a female named Ann Ashley, and from the general impression that her death l « d been accelerated, if not caused by barbarous conduct of the night constable aud watchman the room in which the inquest was held, was crowded to excess. It { appeared from the evidence, that the deceased was found about two o'clock on Wednesday morning, is a state of intoxication and dripping wet, and upon a watchman being applied to, he refused to take charge of her and she was ultimately placed in a dark hole or cage about six feet square and extremely filthy, where she was locked up; the night constable on its being suggested, that it was an improper place for her in tlte state she was then in, refused to allow her to bo removed; she was turned out about six o'clock in the morning. The medical gentlemen examined gave it as their opinion, that her death was occasioned by the inclemency or wet and cold weather combined with intoxication and that the/ place in which she had Ken con- fined, was a very unfit ( me and much less for n person in the condition of the deceased. The coroner in summing up observed, that, there was certainly great proof/ of imprudence and inhumanity in the ease, but none as lie thought of criminality. The death of the deceased might probably have been prevented by proper care and no doubt had been accelerated. It rested with the parish officers to indict the parties for > mil- demeanor which he would certainly recommend, as a lesson to others. The Jury returned a verdict of " Died from the com- bined effects of cold and intoxication" and exprei- ed a determination to/ proseoute the night constable and vatcli- mau for a misdemeanor the ensuing sessions. mtortn MEASURF*. As the how Weights and measures rome inlo use bn the Ut of January. it ij . Jf importance t. » m. ake the public fa r' « lib the nature of th'e change!, which will tlfcn be nsceartrv. Tlic< e clianges; • t^ neratly speaking, are not great. Indeed, we think it vVonld have been wise to early them a little far- . tlier. and to 6ipcede lc- fe to existing practices and customs than the comnlissioners whoframed the act havedyne. One raaiciU! rror. we lliinkj has hecn tbninlitted— the tetaining t wo standard pounds— the pound troy and the pound avoir- dupois. The former is used solel y by goldsmiths, apotheca- ries, and philosophord, classes of men whose education and ' habits would have rbntiered the adoption of a different standard extremely easy, It is true the pound avoirdupois will be the one in general use. but the very circumstancd that another pound exists whieb Is aised in some eases, create* no small degree of that confusion ahd nncefbinty which it was tbe express oljject ol the act to Temedy. 1. he standard inclij foot, yard, acre, and mile, remairi the same as at present. 2. Tlife pound, ounce, and pennyweight troy, and tbe pound, ounce, and dram avoirdupois, remain also tbe same, as at present. The pound troy is declared to be the unit from which all others are to be derived, h Contains 5,700 grains: and the ounce troy contains 480 gr? fn*. The pound avoirdupois contains 7000 troy grains, and the ounce avoir- dupois 437. Thus we have still two different pounds, and two different ounce weights! As a irieans ot restoring tlW weights if tljcy should be Tost, the cubic inch of distilled water is declared tq lid equal in weisrht to 25^, 458 gfalr. s—* tlie barometerhringat 30 incbes. and the thennbmcter at 5. The sole difference 1> etween the new syslbm and the old lies in the gallon and tbe measures deduced frpm it. The new or imperial gallon is declared to contain ten pounds avoirdupois of distilled tt> atcr— the temperature and pres- sure being as above. Hence we find lliat it contaifo 2? 7, or, more Correctly, 277.27 cubic inches. Now the present wind gallon contains 231, and the present ale gallon 282 tabid , It follows that the new imperial gallon ,' s to ifie old Wine ellon as 0 to 5, and to tlie old ale gallon as 41 to 48, neg- ting very minute fractions. Therefore, to convert wine gallon* into impt- fial galfona, deduct one- sixtiC to convert imperial gallons Into wine gal- lons, - add one- firth: To convert ale gallons into imperial gallons, add l- 47rt< part; to convert imperial gallons into ale gallons, dectict i- 4< th nart. The new pint and quart being dftlared to be tepectiVelv the 8th and 4th part of tbe new gallon, bear the same pro- portion to the did pint and quart as the new gallon^ oes. to the old gallon. TW- i gallons are declared to be a peck, and eight gallons a bushel, as at present. But the proportions are not the same as in the case of the pint and qdart, became the old gai- ' Ion for dry measufe Is neither the wine nor { be ale gallon, • - but a gallon of 268.8 cubic inches, - flje imperial peck and bushel are therefore to tbe old Winchester peck and bttsfiel as 268,8 tf 277.27. Hence to convert Winchester bushels Into imperial bushels,- deduct one 33d part; and- to coi\ vert , imperial into Winchester addone32d part. This is suffi- ciently near ^ or practicil purposes: the sum to he added is correctly 1- 31,73. The old Winchester bushel contaforf"' 2150,42 cubic inches : tfie new contains 2218.16. The nefr or Imperial quarter has the same ratio to the old qaa'rter, as the • w bushel lias to the old bushel. ... " The standard measure of capacity for coals, culm lime, fish, potatoes, or fruiti and all other gcx* fe afid things com- monly sold by heap measure, shall be the aforesaid bushel, containing 80 pounds avoirdupois of water, tbe same being made round, with a plain and even bottom. and being lO'rfi- • che* and a half from outside to outside, tbe goods in.* upli measure to be heaped up to the form of a cone, such c" one try be of the height of at least six inches, and" tbe outside of thta" bdshel to be the extremity of the base of such tvne. qnd that, three bushels shall be a sack, and 12 such sacks shall he a clialdron." It is farther provided by tbe act oftbe 6lh Geo. lv(. cap. 12. " That all snch measures stall be made. cylin- drical, and tbe diamater of such measure shall be, at- the least double the depth thereof, and the height oftbe cone or heap stall be equal to three- fourths nf the depth of tht measure, tbe outside of the measure being the extremity orfcase of such cone." k It is not obligatory on persons to buy and sell by those measures; they may use theold measures, but wben this is done, the ratio which the measures nsecf to bear to "! » e new staodnrd measure must be specified, otherwise tbe contratt of igreement is null « nd vdd. This will render it necessary to refer to tbe new measures jp all written har& ains, AH b gams made without a speeial reference to some lUh^ r'inea- re are lield to be made according to the new measur^ Tbeexisting weights and measures may be used if marked, so as to shew the proportion tbey have to the standard mca- suresand weights. but not otherwise. All weights and mea- sures made af\ er tbe 1st of January, 1826, are to be conform- able to the new standard. LrrraATURE.— We some time back noticed, as highly interesting, a publication under tbe title of " Tales by the O'Hara Family;" and we tind that it Iras not only been ill received here, but that a Paris literary journal, Le ( llvtn>, pronounces the work to be " the best novel on Ireland,"— an opinion in ^ vhich we heartily concur. We learn that this " O'llara Family" do not mean to rest thefr claims to literary reputation on this one work, but are iployed on another novel that is soon to appear, but to which tljey have given, wcare told, a somewhat " ticklish title." If it equals the last in spirit, variety of incident, and truth of character, it will not want . readers, let its nam* be good, tad, or indifferent, though there may be some attraction even in a name.— Examiner.
