All kinds of cattle are found to thrive more on the j scanty- produce of a dry summer, than on the abund- ance of a wet washy season. On Sunday last was gathered, in the garden of a gentletran of East Dereham, a strawberry of the Downton kind, measuring seven inches in circum- ference, and on the same stem were twelve other strawberries. HONESTY REWARDED.—. A circumstance took place ou Tuesday, which cannot be made too generally known among hackney coachmen and persons who use those vehicles. A gentleman took a coach in St. Paul's Church- yard, about twenty minutes before twelve, and was wet down in VV est minster exactly at noon. Having transacted his business there, he was proceeding homeward a little before oue, when be suddenly missed a bank- note for three hundred pounds, which he had in his pocket on entering the coach. He had not observed, either the number or date of the note, or the number of the coach. Me therefore,. re- turned to the banker's in tbe City, and ascertained the number and date of the note, then proceeded to the Bank of England, found that it had not been paid, ond took measures to stop its payment if presented. After some further inquiry, he. applied, about half- past three, at the Hackney Coach. office, in Essex- street, in the Strand, and there to his agreeable sur- prise, he learnt that tbe coachman had already brought the note to the Commissioners; at whose suggestion ( lie gentleman paid tbe coachman a reward of fifty pounds. The name of the hottest coachman should be known : it is John Newell, the owner and driver of the coach No. 314, and residing in Mary- la. bonne- lane. 11 should also be known, that persons leaving property in hackney- coaches may very generally regain it^ by applying, without delay, at tbe Office in Essex- street The glove manufactories at Yeovil are resuming their former activity. It appears that the protecting duty on French gloves, together with the facility afforded to the home manufacturer by the removal ofthe Excise restrictions, and the diminution of the Jeathcr duties, has very much quieted the fears of foreign competition. A deputation of merchants and ship- owners inter- ested iu tbe southern whale fisheries and the trade with New Holland waited on Mr. Huskisson a few days ago, , for the purpose of endeavouring t > induce the Government to form a small establishment in New Zealand. The situation of New Zealand, with reference to New Holland and our settlements on that continent, renders it a most important post to ships engaged in the trade of that part ofthe world, and to southern whale fishery ships in particular. Most of these ships touch at New Zealand, where there is a very fine harbour and the means of refitting and replenishing abound. The deputation pointed out to Mr. Huskisson the great advantages that would result from an establishment being formed on that island, which might serve as a sort of rallying point to British interests in that distant quarter of the globe,; and mentioning the probability of some other nations taking this step if vye did not. Mr. Huskisson paid great attention to the observa- tions of the deputation, and promised to communi- cate with Earl Bathurst on the subject. MA*^ ION- HOUSE, LONDON.— A female, rather meanly dressed, but evidently accustomed to better society than that in which she appeared in the Justice- room, for she respectfully stood amongst the numerous petitioners to the Lord Mayor, presented herself to his Lordship, after he had concluded the Since the Act of Parliament, requiring hackney- coach- I business ofthe day, and mentioned that she stood in men to bring such articles to the Office, came into need of his advice, as she was, notwithstanding her cffect, which is not four and a half years ago, no less j undoubted claim to something like, an independence, than 1058 articles have been so brought, being of the | actually in want of the common necessaries of life!

The Catholics, according to resolutions passed at their last meeting in Dublin, seem resolved not only to bring forward their claims during the ensuing Session, but to bring them forward on the very first day of it; and, not content with stating their claims fully and fairly, and urging them by what argu- ments or other enforcements they may, they seem resolved to worry Parliament if possible, into com- pliance, by presenting petition after petition, de die in diem, until the day fixed for the discussion. The vanguard of this parchment regiment is to be com- posed of the four provinces; these will be followed by the counties, aud these again by the parishes, ten file deep. RECTI FICATION OF THE COURSE OF TIIE RlIlX — In the years 1817, 1818, and 1819, the course of the Rhine between Neuburg and Schroeck, was rectified at thejoint expense of Bavaria and Baden. Her husband, with whom she candidly acknow- ledged she lived before he married her, had been not only a member of the House of Lords, but oue of the most distinguished men of his day for talents and public spirit. She was the widow of the cele- brated Lord Erskine. The Lord . Mayor requested that the unfortunate lady would walk into another room, when a con- versation took place between them upon the subject of her distress; and bis Lordship, after having ; iven her immediate pecuniary relief, of which it was evident she stood in need, for she appeared to be actually faint with hunger, assured her that he' would without delay exert himself to procure an inquiry into tha circumstances of which she com- plained, but complained without attaching the slightest blame to any individual. As far as could be collected, from what wan spoken iu a low timid tone and voice, the followi. 11* aggregate value of £ 45,000 and upwards. Ou VRTRD, THE FRENCH CONTRACTOR. This person was a petty shopkeeper at the commence- ment of tbe revolution, but by enterprise and good luck he became contractor for armies during the empire. Having first profitted by Napoleon, and been afterwards plundered by him, he, of course, shot up into a royalist at the restoration. His ex- perience of various governments gave him a taste for that which he could most easily serve or dupe; and accordingly, when the Ultras came into power, he affected for them an extreme admiration. The King of France declared from the throne in June, 1823, that nothing but malevolence could affix a hostileintention to the encampment of troops on the Pyrenees, and the same day his Minister of War gave orders to prepare for the invasion - of Spain. This was the time for M. Ouvrard to think of re- pairing, in a loyal turmoil, his shattered fortunes, is the sub^ ftnee of the statement of the widow. He was accordingly extremely busy, during the Lord Erskine had, soon after he lost his first wife, sitting of the Verona Congress, in sounding the become intimate with the petitioner, who consented trump of war against the Spanish revolutionists in to reside with him, and became the mother of three all the saloons to which lie could gain admission children. His Lordship, who had commenced his When the Regency of Urgel was established, he acquaintance under a promise of marriage, perform- contracted to advance it a loan of several millions, ed that promise some years afterwards in Scotland, though he himself could scarcely at the time have where, by the laws of that country, bis children By a convention lately concluded between these obtained credit for twenty sous. His object was became legitimate. They lived very happily toge. twoPovvers, it has been agreed that the rectification evident, and his game certain.

The harvest would be reaped by commissaries and con- the sudden and lamentable reduction in her cireunr- lenscth of the old course of the Rhine, f, „.„ t|, e tractors.

As there is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE, a Person has the Pretension to say that he is the only Proprietor of the genuine Article, when in Fact he is perhaps the only one that has not the genuine Rear's Grease ; but if the Purchasers will give themselves the Trouble of smelling it with Attention, they will easily discover the Deception, his Composition being a Mix- ture of Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, and Mutton Suet, perfumed with a little Bergamot ; which, from having analysed it, J. DELCROIX can assert to be a Fact. Such Composition, in Lieu of being bene^ i ial to the Preservation or Growth of the Hair, has a decidedly contrary effect ; Oil of Almonds, in particular, being of a very desicative Nature, and not of a nutritive one ; whereas GENUINE Bear's Grease certainly may be re- garded as one of the best Articles for promoting the Growth of the Hair. Therefore, to prevent the Public from falling into Error by using such Imitations, which are so insulting to the common Understanding, and in Order to detect the spurious from the genuine Bear's Grease, J. DELCROIX begs to give a brief Description Of it — The Fat of the Animal, when he receives it in Casks from Russia, is rather offensive, and of a Yellow Reddish Hue, but when purified, it. resembles very much the Mixture of Veal Fat and Beef Marrow, with less -> f Tinge, and although it is of moderate Consistence,- yet it is of an oily and rich Nature. To be had, GENUINE nnd well perfumed, in various sized Pots, of J. DELCROIX, Perfumer to the Royal Family, 158, New Boud- street ( removed from 3- 3, Old Bond- street), and sold, with his Name, by Mr. William Nightingale, Mr. John Nightingale, Mr. Thomas Bowd- ler, Mrs. Hulme ( Pride Hill), Mr. Samuel Hulme, Mr. Pyke, and Messrs. Whitney and Co. Shrewsbury, and by all the principal Perfumers and Hairdressers in the United Kingdom ; and where also may be had, his admired ESPRIT DE LAVANDE AUX MILLEFLEURS, BOU QUET DU Roi ( G. IV.), and every other Article of his superior and much- celebrated FOREIGN PERFUMFRY. will be effected by means of 23 cuts, six of which cuts are already completed between Neuburg and Schroeck, which have secured the whole stream. The tract of country subject to the inundations of the Rh ine, between Lauterburg and Sandhofen is on the left bank, belonging to Bavaria, 70,000 acres; aud on the right bank, belonging to Baden, 65,000 acres; that is, 135,000 acres on the two baiks. The seeming of these extensive tracts against the encroachments and ravages of the Rhine, which have been attempted in vain for centuries, the draining of the marshes and the abandoned arms of the Rhine, the improvement in the salubrity of the air, the termination of the constantly increasinp- two children were provided for, and separated from her, and she therefore resolved to undergo any pri- vation rather than be separated from the third. The Lord Mayor asked bet- whether the rest of his Lordship's family were aware of her distress ? She replied that they were ; but that, with every inclination to assist her, they really appeared to her not to have the means. How, then, do yon contrive to support yourself now ?" asked his Lordship. The unfortunate lady said, she endeavoured to Contractor- General was iu danger of remaining tin employed. He, however, did not despair. He obtained a conference with one of the military intendants, and some of the Duke's staff, and per- suaded them that they could not do without him. Nay, he convinced them that the troops had scarcely rations for a week, or the means of transport for a regiment, though the Minister of War had collected provisions for more than 100 days, and enp; aged the means of carriage for 100,000 men. Having made a contract to supply the army with every thing on this presumption, be took out from the stores of I keep life within her by needle- work, which wa » Government the very provision which the Minister [ supplied to her very scantily.

His loss was to the amount of hundreds of pounds, he had every reason to believe. Sir Richard Birnie declared, that a more united and extensive system of plunder he never heard of.

The in 8 nr reel ion was at length extinguished in the bluod of the iusnrecu'ts, and all who refused to submit fell sacri fires to the rage of the victorv. The Papers of Wednesday, furnish some further particulars respecting the late insurrection of the Janissaries at Constantinople, which show that the event had been anticipated, and that Sultan Mahmoud, wiser than his uncle Seiira, whose failure in a similar attempt' to establish European discipline gave him ( Mahmoud) a Throne, had taken beforehand every preraution requisite ib overpower all the efforts* of the malcontents. His first object stems very properly to have been lo remoV'e every ground of jealousy from Ihe minds of the Jauissaiies. For that purpose, he ordered that the officers of the new cohorts should be selected out of lhat Body, thus creating a connexion between them calculated to destroy every idea of rivalry. Apprehensive, however, that ancient prejudices might triumph over the public good, he recalled the Capitan Pacha, and under the pretence of au expedition against Hydva, collected a large force of Asiatic trjops in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis," who were represented as about to embai k, at the very time they were kept in readiness to act against the Janissaries, if necessary. Il is to this salutary precaution that Mahmoud is indebted ' for ihc preservation of his Crown, aud probably of his life also. Letters from Smyrna had reached Constantinople, which stated that Ibrahim Pacha had experienced a considerable defeat in the environs, of Tripolizza. This wus not a mere renewal of a former rumour which represented him lo have been befcten in his approach to that city j but a new account, admitting that he had'been allowed to pass without obstruc- tion, buft declaring that it was a feint on the part of the Mawiotes, who had closed in his rear, and forced him to'fighta battle to re- open his communication*, in which attempt he had entirely failed. Tlie French Government is at length seriously endeavouring to pat an end to the Slave Trade. The French Admiral De Rigny, commanding in the Levant, lias written to his Government to con- tradict the statements which haV? been made of French interference on behalf of the Turks. He denies that French officers and cannon were u£? ed for the reduction of Missolonghi.

Cameras Papers to 3lM May, are received. From the accounts given of tbe proceedings of Gen. Paez, it appears that he strongly complains of the conduct of the Colombian Government ; but, at the same lime, lie professes a wish to refer every thing to the decision ef Bolivar, in whose wisdom and justice he has ihe fullest confidence. While, however, he holds this language, he is most anxious that the people should | fm, and this necessity he impresses on them, not merely with a view to frustrate the designs of a foreign enemy* but in order to baffle the machinations of " evil men" at home. Paez demands that the Gene- ral Convention whirh had been appointed to sit io the year 1831, shall be. act derate d.— General Pa< z entered the city of Caraccax on the evening of ihe KJ'th May.

Pursuant to the notice advertised in our last Journal, a Meeting of the Supporters of this Institution was held at the Infirmary, yesterday, to receive the Report of the Committee appointed' at tlie General Meeting held on fhe 17th of November last, to consider the necessity of giving additional means of accommodation " to the Infirmary.— Among the Subscribers present, we ob- served— William Lucon Childe, Esq ( ihe Treasurer), The Viscount Clive, the Hon. R. H. Clive, M. P. Lord Hill, Sir Rowland Hill, Bart. M. P. Sir F. B. Hill, Hon. Thomas Kenyon, Sir Baldwin Leigbton, Bart. Col. Burgh Leigbton, Col. F. Knyvett Leighton, Rev.

LACON CHIKOB, Esq having hern called to the chair, stated tlie business for which the Meeting was assembled. The Viscount CLIVE then read the Report of the Committee, which adverted to a Report made fo them by Mr. Edward Haycock, who, by their direction, had inspected tl. r Gloucester, Hereford, Liverpool, Man- chester, Derby, Sheffield, Glasgow, and Edinburgh Infirmaries. Mr. Haycock's Report noticed in detail the dila- pidated state of the present structure, aud the various objections which, 011 account of its bad construction-, there existed to its being altered so us to meet the wish to afford further accommodation or present con- venience. Mr. Haycock had beeu requested to prepare, first, a plan and estimate for, lhe erection of a New Infirm- ary on the present site. Second, a plan and estimate of the expense of re- pairing the present edifice, aud of adding one wing thereto. Third, a plan and estimate of the expense of repair- ing the present edifice, and of adding two wings thereto. * Fourth, a plan and estimate of the expense of re- pairing the present building and offices. Mr. Haycock accordingly prepared the plans and estimates.— For the erection of a New Infirmary, on the present fcite, and on the best construction, to re- ceive 150 in- patients, the net expense is estimated at £ 14,000.— For the second plan above- mentioned, thr expense would be £ 5000; for the third, £ 8000; and for the fourth, £ 2000. The present Infirmary is calculated to accommodate only 75 patients ; there are at present 90 in- patients and several have been lately refused, for want of room. The Committee, after noticing various points taken into consideration, recommend the erection of a New Infirmary, on the present site, to accommodate 150 in- patients* and it was mentioned that Mrs. Corbet, ( of Sun- dome) would put the piece of garden ground ( her property) adjacent to the Infirmary, at the disposal of the Committee. The present Funds of the Infirmary, exclusive of the Annual Subscriptions, are estimated nt between £ 18,00<) and £ 17,000, from which it is proposed to take £ 10,000 towards the erection of the New In- firmary, leaving the sum of £ 4000 to be raised by subscription for that purpose. There was but one opinion among the Subscribers, that the erection of a New Infirmary would best meet the wishes of the County, the present edifice being totally inadequate ; but as the question was one of great importance, and one which rendered every ex amination and enquiry requisite, it was, on the motion of J. C. PELHAM, Esq. M.' P. resolved, that the Report of the Committee should be printed and circulated Minong fhe Subscribers, and that another general meeting should take place iu the Hunt Week, when the probable expense of furnishing and fitting up the New Infirmary might aUo. be submitted. On the motion ofthe Hev.

J> JDLY 17, 1826. Perkins, the young man charged at Manchester with forgery, was, after his re- examination on Tuesday, fully committed to Lancaster to take his trial for uttering the forged draft on the house of Mustefman and Co. ;" the charge of forgery was not brought koine to him, and unpromising. Some Houses of rank have retired from their manufacturing pursuits; many factories have again limited their hours of labour ; demand for goods becomes more and more circumscribed, money scarcer, and confidence less. In consequence, the wants of the labouring c'ass arc urgent, aud the dis position to quietness, which has been so obvious in their general character, is gradually, we fear, under- going a change. Delegates Htxl emissaries are busily engaged in stirring up amongst them feelings of a hostile nature, and we have reason to presume, with no inconsiderable degree of success. Nocturnal meetings are held in various places; and on Wed- nesday night, one of this description v/ as silently ob- tained in the precincts of ibis town. It was composed chiefly of ihe lowest description of character?, in the neighbourhood of St. George> Road ; but huguage of a very daring nature was used by some delegates, speakers on Ihe occasion. A strong' p « hole of ihe military was immediately ordered out on duty; but no breach of the peace occurred — Did the evils of the lime rest upon the heads alone of the humbler ranks in life, their afflictive influence might very soon be softened. Unfoi tunafcly, it is not so. Every superior grade of the community is under the lash of this. ex- traordinary visitation. We Relieve we . are borne oi: t by facts in the assertion, that no one, let his condition he what it may, is free from its baneful effects. At all events, few exceptions to it can be named. On trying to ascertain the causes which have led to these effects, we find such a variety of opinion that it is difficult to adopt any with precision. And on in quiring after a remedy for the disease which is entailed upon the suffering commercial body, vve find many widely- differing propositions warmly advanced. Of this, however, we are quite sure, lliat towards the poor that are so for want of employment there is a general sympathy and kindness of feeling front their former or present employers, and their respectable neighbours. We hear continually the most anxious expressions of this suit, and sorrow for their depriva- tions. This sympathy is indeed strongly called for: the destitution which prevails in some pasts of tile county is of a heart- rending description, as tiie almost entire cessation of employment he. s subjected to poverty a great majority of the inhabitants. Their condition, we areinfoimed, is lamentable. We sin. cerely trust that in this extremity no violence to the public peace will be effected ; that better feelings will prevail to check actual attempts of that kind ; and that we shall yet have tiie consolation to announce a better order of things. The Magistrates, the Borough- reeve, Constables, and military have in tiie mean.' time duties of great responsibility imposed upon them.— It cannot be doubted that full representations are made to ( government on thi5* vital subject, and that auy practicable remedy which maybe proposed to their consideration by competent authority from this town and the neighbourhood, will meet with becoming at- tention . YORK ASSIZES-— The late Riots.— John Holds- worth and William Bolton were capitally charged with having, on 8th May last, along with divers other per- sons, riotously assembled in disturbance of the public peace, and with endeavouring to destroy ihe factory, and a mill of Messrs. Horsfall, situate in Bradford. From the evidence il appeared that the mob arrived at the mill about one o'clock, and poured a volley of stones al the doors and windows. The windows were all driven in, and ihe mill sustained so much injury, llsal it became necessary for the persons within lo » ire. In doing so, they killed one person. Col. Temple and other Magistrates then came up, and read tbe Riot Act. The prisoner Holdsworth said lo the Colonel, " What are we to do— are we to starve?" The other prisoner, Bolton, was also observed to be active in throwing stones. Mr. Baron Mullock sum- med up the case; and the Jury, - after being inclosed some hours, returned a verdict, finding Holdsworth Guilty, aud Bolton Not Guilty, at the saine time re- commending Holdsworth to mercy, as the. case was not very aggravated ; and Mr, T. Horsfa. II stood up, and begged, as one of the prosecutors, to join in the recommendation. Mr. Baron Hullock said, it should be forwarded lo t he proper quarter. Three other men, Edward Marsh, Anthony Miller, and Henry Turner, were afterwards tried for the same offence, and found guilty ; they were also recom- mended to clemency on the ground of previous good character. Sentence of ifcalh was recerded against the whole. Mr. J. Woodward Mr. J. Jarratt Mr. T. Pugh - Mr. Howell Mr. J. Jarratt Ditto Ditto Mr. T. Pugh Mr. T. Pugh - Mr. Howell Mr. T. Pugh - Mr. J.

R. Price, Esq. of Bryn- y- Pys, who has a very extensive property in those vicinities. Early in the morning, the lively village bells called forth the rural inhabit- ants to participate in tiie festivities of the day; and presently after, the windows of evsry mansion and cottage exhibited a display of evergreens or festoona of flowers, indicative of some joyous event having occurred.— A fine ox was cut up in the forenoon, and distr. butcd in suitable portions to the poor; and several sheep were also roasted, and in like manner apportioned, to which was added that necessary adjunct, a quantity of cwrw da.— At three o'clock, a most respectable party of' gentlemen, friends, neighbours, and tenants of Mr. Price, sat down to a most superb dinner, at the Bryn- y Pyg Arms, in Overton, which was got up in a style of elegance that would have done credit to fhe first Hotel proprietor in or out of the Metropolis; aud the wines were of the choicest description.— After fhe cloth was withdrawn, the company proceeded to do justice to their excellent cheer, in which a variety of toasts and sentiments were given, and of course, among the rest, " Health and Happiness to the worthy Bridegroom and his accomplished Lady" was r. ot forgotten.— Major Fletcher ably sustained the station of President, and the Vice- Chairs were not less creditably filled by Mr. Lawton and Mr. Roberts;, Among- the company present, beside those we. have natw" 1, were J. Mytton. Esq. of Halsfon, Major Dymock, the Rev. C. Eyton, of Llwyn Ohn, & e. & c.— The evening was spent in a manner the most gratifying to the company, every one appearing delighted with his neighbour, and all heartily gratified with fhe happy event which had been the occasion of their meeting together. Independent of the provision made for the lower classes, as stated above, thirty pounds in money was distributed among those of Overton this day ; in addition to which, Mr. Mytton emptied his pockets, which were well stored for the purpose, of a large quantity of silver, which he threw among fhe popu- lace, and for which there was a general scramble. This part of the sports of the day afforded a good deal of mirth to the company, and to none more than the fun- loving Mr. Mytton himself, who richly enjoyed the tactics of the rustics, hustling, upset- ting, and rolling each other in the dust, on the high road, every one intensely set upon gathering up the silver shower. To the poor of Bangor also, twenty pounds were distributed, and a like sum to those o" f Woodside, in which latter plaefe Mr. Price has a valuable and thriving property. On the evening of Tuesday, Mr. Price was cx pccted at his elegant seat at Bryn- y Pys, when a large groupe ofhis friends and tenantry, and indeed we may say most of the country, set ofi'in carriages, on horseback, and a- foot, to meet him and his bride, to escort them to the mansion. At a short distance, fhe cavalcade had the satisfaction of greeting their approach; facing to tbe right about, they sur- rounded the carriage; and thus, with noisy but sincere and hearty shouts of congratulation, they led, and followed, and flanked the happy couple, till their arrival at the hall. After a few hearty cheers, and the expression of a thousand good wishes for health and happiness to their friend and landlord, the vast concourse dispersed, making the best of their way lo their respective homes. WoonnnK.— On Monday, the 10th inst. about thirty gentlemen met together at the house of Mr Williams, the YYoodside Ferry, for the purpose of celebrating the marriage of Francis Richard Price, Esq. the Lord of the Manor of Birkenhead. The chair was ably filled on this occasion by Mr. Harrison, of Birkenhead; the dinner provided by Mr. Williams, as well as the wines, were excellent The beautiful cutter belonging to Sir K. Puleston Bart, was finely decorated with the colours of different nations; the bells of Birkenhead Church rang merry peals during the day; and on the health of the best of Kings being announced by the truly loyal Chairman, and that of the Lord of the Manor, the event was made known to the public by the firing of cannon, and other demonstrations of joy. Good- humour and conviviality were the order of the day, and the company did not separate till a late hour. Wheat Barley. Oats..' Malt. Fine Flour NEWTOWN BASCHURCH. TI'SS'C.

SOUTH WALES MINING COMPAMY.— On Wed- nesday an extraordinary Meeting of the South Wales Mining Company was held at their bouse, Tokenhouse- yard. Mr. Paxton having been unani- mously called to fhe Chair, stated, that the sole object of the present meeting was either fo disap- prove or assent to the proposition of the last meeting, that the Company should be itiasolved The present meeting, although few iu numbers, consisted of the most considerable Proprietors, and might, therefore, properly decide the question. The concern had been very promising iu itself, but in consequence o. f the change which had taken place in public opinion, the calls had not been paid, and the necessary capita! could not, therefore, be procured, and nothing remained to be done but to dissolve the Company. The Resolutions of the former Meeting having been read, the question was put from the Chair, " Thai the Company be dissolved;" which was carried unanimously. The conduct of the Managers and Directors was in every respect unanimously approved of; nnd it appeared to be the universal opinion that the pro- ject had failed merely from the alarm which re- sulted from the late unfortunate issue of » o many • feint Stosk Spsealatioaa.

SIR, Your correspondent Veritas, in a second letter, acquits Philalethes of certain obnoxious tiocttines, but still imputes them to the Catholic Religion. Now, in the first place, this involves an evident contradic- tion on the part of Veritas, acknowledging, as.' he implicitly does, in the last sentence of his, leuery that Philalethes is still a Catholic. ' For if Phil » le; hes be a . Catholic, rejecting the doctrines in question, il follows that the Catholic Reliigion does not teach, those dcc- trines : for every Catholicj as such, n'lust believe the doctrines of the1' Catholic Religion. This, however, I leave to Veritas and Philalethes. It will be mine to shew that tlie fact agrees with the inference deduc- ihle from the concession of Veritas : it will be mine to remove the stigma of the imputed doctrines,, not merely from Philalethes, not merely from the Bishops who sigued the. Declaration, but from the Catholic Religion. 1 have carefully read and considered the doctrines imputed by Veritas ; and 8 hesitate not a moment to declare, that not one of them is any article of Catholic Faith, nor any term Catholic Communion. Veritas thinks that ail the Ejected tenets are comprised in the Creed of Pius the Fourth, because it refers gene- rally to the authority of Canons and General Councils. To this J rep! y$ that only those Canons nnd Decrees regard the Faiih of Catholics, which, coming* from } he general voice of the Church, clearly and unequi vocally define and propose some article cf- fa it h as such. Now j if Catholics may b « -> allowed to understand the Canons and Decrees of their own Church, the matter in debate may he shortly nettled. . Catholics do not consider any one of the doctrines in question ever to have been proposed by the Church, as an article of faith or term of communion : Catholics do not admit any one of them into their Creed. And here I may be allowed to suggest to Veritas another. eriterio. i, which to me seems a fair and reasonable one. Let Veritas examine the authorized catechisms, and other ordinary books of instruction put. into the hands of. millions of Catholics throughout she world, and see. w hether in them hi? will find any one of these. doctrines inculcated. I can furnish him with several such books,. and' with one in particular of high authority, and which, trans- lated info different languages, is universally circulated through the Catholic world. Now, I think it mav be reasonably allowed, that if the doctrines imputed by Veritas are really doctrines of the Catholic Church, all, or some of them at least, would be found in the ordinary sources of Catholic instruction. Much, in- deed, has been written on these diilereht points of doctrine, and much ingenuity employed to ingraft them on the Catholic Religion. Much also has been written on the other side ( and most satisfactorily to my mind),' shewing that they form no part of the Catholic Religion. If Veritas feels inclined to pursue the subject, on each particular point, to ? t greater extent than the limit of a letter would allow, my little library may furnish him with a portion of what has been written ; and it is at any time - much at his service. For the present it may be sufficient to state, that, a* Catholics, we are bound to believe all articles of Catholic Faith, and are not bound to believe any thing beyond these. Now those only ( 1 may be pardoned the repetition), those only are articles of- Catholic Faith, which are clearly and unequivocally declared stich by the general voice of the Church interpreting the revelation of God. Anv sentiments or practices grounded on any authority whatsoever lower than this regard not the Faith of Catholics. In matters of opinion we may vary : in all articles of Faith we are united throughout the world as one man. 44 In netes- sariis unitas, in dub Us liber tas Veritas indulges a hope, that the late Declaration will be followed'by a Defection,— that the Catholics of Great Britain will ere. long separate themselves from the Communion of the Catholic Church, On this subject, I will only say, that the Church which for eighteen centuries has preserved a triumphant exist- ence, amidst, the storms of persecution, and floods of tribulation and sorrow— a Church which for eighteen centuries has diffused the rays of the Gospel through the world, and in return received testimony and strength from the blood of innumerable martyrs, and honour and illustration from the virtues of thousands of her sainted children — a Church which has scattered lasting monuments of her. piety and her charity over our own country, and over the face of the earth— a Church which has preserved unity in her faith, and an unbroken succession in her ministry from the Apostles of her divine Founder— a Church which has seen the nations ofthe earth collected within her pale, and which at. this day sees a vast majority of the Christian world bowing to her authority and shelter- ing under her protection— a Church Catholic in time and in extent, and to which the common sense of man- kind still gives ihe distinctive and truth- speaking name of Catholic— a Church whose integrity has been acknowledged j and whose praises have been pro- claimed,. even bv her . ad versa lies,-— a Church which even the chief author of the Reformation ( Luther De Miss& Privat&) acknowledges to possess " fhe very kernel of Christianit- y" — such a Church, I say, has too many claims to our veneration and our adherence, to allow us to forsake her because unfounded charges have been made against her. Our fidelity has been and is tried bv stronger inducements than this; but I trust that our conviction, and our conscience, and the fidelity we owe to both, are stiil stronger. If we are tempted to be unfaithful, we look towards the Church from which, we are . tempted to depart— we behold her still resting, on the rock Where her divine Founder first fixed her — we behold her strong in. her unity, and beautiful! in her holiness, and venerable in her antiquity— we behold her stilt unfurrowed from all her sorrows, and unshaken from all her conflicts, and unimpaired from the years of eighteen centuries — we behold her still offering the light of Reveiwfion to our minds, and the hopes of Revelation to our hea- rts, still offering the consolations of Religion to our sor rows, and the helps of Religion to our endeavours— we look" towards this Church, and in the fervour of our attachment, w. e repent th'e words of the faithful Israelites: " if 1 forget thee, let n> y right hand he forgotten: let my tongue deuce lo my palate" if J remember not thee I remain, Mr. Editor,.

On Friday, the first sample of new oats was brought fo Dublin market, and sold for 20s. British, per barrel ; the quality was fine. New oats sold at the commencement of the season last year for very little more than one half of the above price. A young man, named Churchill, in the employ of Mr. Richardson, saddler, of Salisbury, died on Tues- day, in consequence of having on the previous day rank about a pint of cold water whilst in a state of perspirat ion. As a proof of the imperishable nature of wood w hen submerged in water, we may instance the choc in stance of several piles having been lately dug up from the basement of Wesfgate in an excellent state of pre aervation, These piles, which- no- doubt were driven in the reign of Richard the Second, must have lain nearly four centuries and a half. The gateway was built by Archbishop Sudbury, and by the continual action of the water upon its foundation, a great portion was sapped. We hear that water acta < ss a preservation to wood when the atmosphere is entirely excluded, nOr is it uf much consequence ol' what species it is. Oak, however, has been used upon almost every oc- casion where piles have been found necessary ; but continued observation lias satisfactorily proved that elm, beech, and even deal, have'resisted the influence of time longer than oak. Upon the present occasion elm is made use of as piles, upon which the foundation of the new bridge is erected ; and we have no doubt a thousand years hence they w ill be uearly as perfect and solid as at the present moment.— Kentish Chronicle. THE MAIL COACH AND PASSKNGKRS cosvtY- KF » HY STEAM !!!— On Wednesday, the 6th inst. the inhabitants of Ply month and its vicinity were grati- fied by the novel exhibition of the shipment of the Royal Mail coach on board She Sir Francis Drake Steam Packet, by* 1 hich it was conveyed with several inside passengers, to the port of Falmouth, where it arrived in about four hours less time than if it had gone in the ordinary way by land. Our hopes that the gloving interests of this coun try will suffer little, compared with what was ex- pected, iu the competition'with the French manufac- turers, are strengthened by the circumstance, that, - since the opening of the ports to the foreigner, an improvement has taken place in the British trade here as well as elsewhere, At Yeovil,^ e are told, the manufactories are resuming their former activity ; goods to a considerable . extent are being got up to order, and to meet the rivalry, and, from ihe abolition of the duty on skins and silk, together with the removal of the. excise restrictions, it is not doubted but with success, either as regards quality or price. But much of this success depends, as we said last week, upon the females of Great Britain. If they show, as we are persuaded they will do, their wonted patriotism and anxiety for the well doing and the existence ofthe manufactures of their own Country aud that of the numbers depending thereon for sup port, the question is at rest, and nothing need be feared from the inuoyaiion.— Worcester Herald. IRELAND. The Catholics say they shall be a masters of tho Representation of Ireland ;" and have resolved, through Mr. O'Connell, not to accept of emancipa- tion, accompanied by any infringement on tho elective franchise of the 40s. freeholders.— Lord Geo. Bei; esford it appears, pledges himself to petition Parliament, against the Waterford return, on the grounds of the undue influence exerted against him by the Catholic Clergy. " I will prove," observes his Lordship in the address in which he intimates his intention, " that the Roman Catholic clergy have exerted fhe vast spiritual powers of their church to accomplish a temporal object; that they have applied the terrors of another world to the political concern^ of this." We suppose there are few persons who require to be convinced of the unbounded influence exer- cised by the Roman Catholic Priests in Ireland, over the superstitious fears of the credulous peasantry : but there may be many anxious to neutralize that conviction by general'declamation and unmeaning sophistries. The Catholics have played their game boldly, but uot skilfully; for, during the late election, they have proved ti> demonstration, that which it was clearly their interest to leave a disputed problem. Their exultation at their success, too, is as short sighted, as the success itself was impolitic. It is true, they have triumphed ; but their victory, like that of a temporary superiority of a maniac over hig keeper, only teaches the necessity of guarding against its repetition, They have called into ostentatious action, energies, Which some, perhaps, thought were extinguished, and others, paralysed. The priests have arrayed religion against political and domestic authority,, and they htive left it no longer a question for disputation, which- would be likely to prevail in such a struggle. Fortu- nately for the general happiness of man, it is so ordained, that iniquitous power works rashly* and, by premature disclosure, incites its intended vic- tims to provide a timely protection. Talk of oath* a ® - a ttccurHyi' Why, if that which weavcheB a> h nnd red- fold more closely the moral weakness of our n& ture — if the house we live in— the roof that covers our progeny— the earth that feeds them — the means by which they are clothed, and reared, and educated — if all these considerations fall before the potency of the priesthood, what right have we, as reasoning creatures — wise by experi- ence, and with an insight into the constitution of the human mind — a knowledge of the springs of ' numan conduct—- to build our hopes upon ths efficacy of a dozen words, however solemnly ad- ministered or repeated ? Our attention has been directed to this subject by perusing an address from Mr. Maxwell to the freeholders of the county of Cavan. The address and the pledge of Lord George Beresford were sufficiently strong to awaken profound attention iu the minds of all who have a proper regard for our Protestant Institutions : but the language of Mr. Maxwell goes much further. We entreat our readers to contemplate the following- picture, at once odious, appalling, and instructive : — You have seen," savs Mr. Maxwell, " the spirit* nal powers of the Romish Church openly employed for the promotion of political objects. You have seen Priests converted into furious demagogues, inciting1 their Hocks to hatred of their fellow Christians, and ingratitude to their benefactors. What a scene did the first day of the Election exhibit ! You beheld tho Roman Catholic Pastors marching into the County Town at the head of their respective flocks. You heard them denouncing eternal damnation against every one w ho withheld his support from their favoured candidates. You saw upwards of forty of these Spi- ritual Crusaders mixing with the mob, and, by their inflammatory harangues, stimulating them to acts of violence and outrag* e. You saw not unfreqnently the tallies of our opponents brought up to the polling booths with a Priest in front and another in the rear. Nay, several voters were, by actual force, dragged by them into tlie tally- rooms, and compelled to vote against their wishes. In short, there was nospeciis of intimidation, whether spiritual or secular, that was not resorted to to effect their purpose." v It is true, that in this particular instance, the degrading conduct of the Priests failed in accom- plishing their nefarious objects; but the attempt is to be taken as evideoce of the disposition, and the difficulty with which they were repelled as aa indication of their strength. The concluding paragraph of Mr. Maxwell's address, which we now subjoin, will be" read with deep interest:— " The conduct ofthe Romish Clergy, at this Elec- tion, has afforded a practical illustration of the fallacy of the testimony given by their Prelates before the Committees of both Houses of Parliament. It was there sworn, that the power of the Romish Church was exclusively confined to spiritual affairs, and that it did not, in any way, extend to temporal concerns ; but if the deluded Roman Catholics are taught to believe that the Romish Church possesses the keys of Heaven, and thai the Ministers of that persuasion can shut, its gates against any person who acts in opposi- tion to their commands' in the exercise of the elective franchise— is it possible to credit such testimony T No, Gentlemen, let us not deceive ourselves. The Romish Church has ever used, and ever will use, all its spiritual powers to effectuate its political objects — the most prominent of which is, ( as has been openly and repeatedly avowed,) the subversion of the Estab- lished Church and the Protestant Constitution of these Realms. Let it not be said, that we who wish to w ithhold from itthepower of effecting its mischievous purposes, are intolerant, or that we deny our Roman Catholic fellow- subjects an increase of political power on account of their religious opinions. Such is not the fact. It is not their belief in abstract points of doctrine, thai in our eyes forms the barrier between them and the full enjoyment of all the privileges of the Constitution; but it is the utter prostration of their intellect, their submission, in temporal as well as spiritual matters, to an intriguing, intolerant, and ambitious Priesthood, that renders them unfit guardi- ans of public liberty. Look back to history — look at the present times— aud see if you can find a single instance in which the Church of Rom? has favoured, or even tolerated, Civil and Religious Liberty. I should hail with delight the real Emancipation of our deluded countrymen from it. s'baneful influence — from the disgraceful thraldom in which they are held. Then, indeed, might all be safely admitted to a full participation of civil privileges; and although we might continue to differ upon some abstract points of religious faith, we should form a loyal, happy, uad united people." z& ssEZssstssasz m> w FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL* of tije fMftt.

OD. GILBERT AND HERON. The bugles are sounding, ihe chase has begun, Bold Gilbert has risen ere rises the sun ; When thy mountains, fair Cambria, were covered with foes, And the broad Southern banner from thy valleys arose, Of all thy proud chiefs who contended in war, ' Midst pine- waving forests and cataracts' roar, Brave Gilbert was foremost in courage and might, His arm dealt the greatest destruction in fight. At the base of bleak Snowdon, the eaglet's strong hold, Once stood tbe famed castle of Gilbert the bold, Where revelry reigu'd in theantlered hall, And trophies of valour bedeek'd the rude wall. But hark ! o'er the hills the blithe clarions are sound- ing, And their notes from a hundred rude rocks are re- bounding, This day the dun deer of bleak Snowdon must die,.. And hush'd be the eagle's and bittern's hoarse cry. Though many are come at the bugle's shrill sound, And many with blood shall besprinkle the ground, No steeds of high mettle are snuffing the wind, Nor thy vales, fairest Snowdon. with enemies lined ; But bowmen and spearmen in plenty are here, And gaze- hounds impatient to rouse the dun deer ; But of all the proud chieftains, though martial their mien. None there like brave Gilbert of Llanvair was seen. And now through the forest, ere high rides the sun, The work of destruction is fully begun, Ton hills with mock thunder are loudly resounding, O'er heath- cover'd mountains the dun deer are bound- ing' ; You'd think ere the race of the stag was quite run,- That the mountains halloo'd, and the valleys gave tongue : While many a boar, that now welters in gore, Shall ne'er hear again the rude cataract's roar. •' Our bugles sang truce, for night's mantle had lower'd" O'er bowmen and spearmen, by toil overpower'd, And whilst from the chase each hold chieftain returns, Its spirit in Gilbert's brave bosom still burns-, For when on their sight frovvn'd the walls of Lbmvair,- Staunch Heron aroused a fierce hoar from his lair, Again up. the mountain arose from the dell The tongue of blithe Heron, and Gilbert's shrill yell. The heights of Glengarlach had felt his strong bound, When the mist of the evening was gathering around, " No hamlet was nigh, and the huge rocks around Too readily ccho'd the blithe bugle's- sound. Oh, then, as ihose notes loudly swell'd to deceive him, The chasms alone widely yawn'd to receive him : His grave is the valley, his tomb the rough stone, His knell the rude blast, with bold Heron's last groan. Weep, Cambria, weep ! weep, ye sons of. the chase, For the pride of the forest, the pride of his- race ! Weep, damsels, weep whose pride was to vie With each other to catch the stern glance of his eye ! Weep, damsels, weep mix youv sighs with the tjole, Let your tears swell the streams of GIengarlach>' s lone vale, For so faithful- in lore, and so dauntless in war, What mortal could cope with the pride of Llanvair f The opinions of those who have attended the most and enquired with the greatest care into the subject, concur iu the inference, that the human body, being considerably lighter than an equal quantity, by mea- surement., of water—- would float of itself; that, therefore, swimming' is an art much less laborious and difficult of attainment than is generally believed ; and that all that is necessary to enable persons, even when unexpectedly plunged into water, to keep themselves from sinking, is a knowledge of this fact and confidence in its truth, and sufficient presence of mind to refrain from struggling and plunging, and to content themselves with placing one foot somewhat in advance of the other, as in walking, and keeping the arms extended horizontally under the water. The following incident, related in Mr. Maude's " Visit to Niagara, in 1800," admirably illustrates the good effects of this pre- sence of mind, or, what is nearly the same thing, absence of fear. The author was on board a sloop, on Lake Champlin, when a boy named Kathin, who was on deck cutting bread and cheese with a knife, was knocked overboard by the captain gibbing the boom. He missed catching hold ofthe canoe which was dragging astern, and au attempt of Mr. Maude's servant to untie or cut the rope which fastened it, that it may drift to his assistance, also failed. Kathin was known to be unable to swim ; it was in the night, and very dark, and it was with difficulty that the captain, who considered that there was no hope of saving his life, was at last prevailed upon to go in the canoe to attempt it. He succeeded in picking the boy up, and brought him on board again in a quarter of an hour. " Kathin's relation," proceeds Mr. Maude, " almost exceeds probability." He had heard my exclamation to seize the canoe, which he was on the point of doing, when it gave a sudden swing and baffled him : but finding he could keep his head above water, he dismissed all fear, expecting that the canoe would come every moment to his assistance. When- he no longer heard our cheers ffom the sloop, hope began to fail him, and he was on the point of resigning himself to a watery grave, when he heard the captain's life- restoring voice. On telling Kathin that we despaired of his safety, as we understood that he could not swim, he replied, " Nor can I; I was never before out of my depth; but I am fond of bathing, and I have seen lads do what they call tread the water, and that's what I did." The truth of this account was made manifest by the boy not only retaining his hat on his head, but its beihg perfectly dry; and what adds to the singularity of the event, the boy never quitted his grasp of fhe knife that Ire was eating his bread and cheese with. It now appeared that it was a- most fortunate circumstance that my servant, in his confusion, could neither untie nor cut the tow- rope. Had he effected this purpose, the boy must have perished; for had there been light enough for him to see the canoe, he could not have swam to/ t. lion, and though there are many incorrigibles, whom neither the fear of punishment nor their own interest wiil refor m, still we have plenty of such at home; the only difference is-) that here we know them, and are on our guard, and at home you don't. Sydney is, without exception, the quietest town I was ever in, and yon may walk through it at all times, with as much safety as through the streets of Edinburgh. Land is every day rising in value, and is turned to great account, and Government is becoming less free of their distribution of it. I am confident that if this place was sufficiently appreciated at home, we should see people crowding to it in greater numbers than ever;' it has all the great ingredients of a great country, and in a few years will become one of the most valuable colonies Britain ever possessed. NEW SOUTH WALES. On the Ait of Swimming. It is the unfortunate propensity to look down, and, in a manner, to embrace the water, casting the arms about, that occasions the inexperienced to sink— every struggle forcing the body deeper, and counteracting its natural tendency, if it were but kept tranquil, and the lungs inflated, to rise to the surface. Every swimmer knows, that by holding himself perfectly still and upright, as if standing, with his head somewhat thrown back so as to rest ou the surface, his face will remain entirely above water, enabling him to enjoy full freedom of breath- ing. The only difficulty is to preserve the due balance ofthe body, aud this is secured by extend- ing the arms laterally under the surface of the water, with the legs separated the one to the front and the other behind, thus presenting resistance to any tendency of the body to incline to either side, forward and backward. This posture may be pre. served in perfect equilibrium for any length of time. In general, when the human body is immersed, one- eleventh of its weight will remain above the surface in fresh water, and one- tenth in salt water. In the alarm of falling into water, ignorant or timid people, as soon as they again rise to the surface, stretch the arms out to grasp at whatever may present itself, and in so doing effectually keep the head under; as the arms and head, together exceeding in weight one- tenth of the whole body, cannot both remain above the surface at the same time. I'he great desideratum, therefore, for safety to the inex- perienced, is a firm and sufficient conviction of the fact, that the body naturally floats. This conviction being gained, 110 more than a common share of pre- sence of mind is further required to ensure that that proportion of the body which will naturally remain above the surface, shall comprehend the respiratory organs. The movements adapted to the advance of the body are to be learnt in the same manner as a child progressively learns to walk.— Proficicpcy in this, as in every thing else, conies of practice ; and by its efficacy we may in a short time stem the roughest tide vvith confidence— change our position in various ways— alternately use and recruit differ- ent classes of muscles— gradually prolong our en- durance and extend our progress— urge our bodies to a considerable depth— rise again to the surface, and there extend ourselves, and repose with as much confidence as on shore. The upright position in swimming is recommended in preference to the horizontal, as commonly prac- tised, for the following reasons;— its conformity to tire accustomed movement ofthe limbs; the freedom it gives to the hands and arms, by which an impedi- ment may be removed, or any offered aid readily laid hold of; vision all around; aud a much greater i facility of breathing; and, lastly, that much less- of the body is exposed to the risk of being caught hold of by any persons struggling in the water, a circumstance which has often- proved fatal to those who adventure to the assistance of others.* A person swimming in an upright posture advances more slowly, but he can continue his course infinitely longer. In general, a good swimmer ought to make about three miles an hour, and as thirst and the want of nourishment are less severely felt in the water than on land, by reason, probably, of the liquid imbibed by the pores of the body while immersed, a good day's journey may be achieved, if the strength be used with due discretion, and the swimmer familiar vvith the various means by which it may be recruited. With the use of these advan- tages, people have been known to accomplish the extraordinary distance of thirty miles; and it is even recorded of the famous Neapolitan diver, ( generally nicknamed II Pesce, or the Fish,) that 011 one, occasion he actually performed the incredible distance of fifty miles ou the coast of Calabria. * Iu cases where endeavours are made to save per- sons in danger of drowning, they should lie laid hold of by the hair, and, if possible, got on their backs, in which position very little effort is required to support the head above the surface, provided that, such persons have presence of mind enough to retain their arms under water, aud to suffer themselves to be tranauilly pulled along. he following extract of a letter from New South Wales, from a passenger in the Australian Compa- uy's ship the Triton, to his mother at Musselbergh, gives a most flattering account of the increasing prosperity of that colony, and holds out a prospect of its becoming, at uo distant period, one of the most valuable appen dages of the British empire:— SYDNEY.-— I arrived here on the 3d October, after a most delightful passage of 136 days from Leith. I have therefore had some time \ o look about me, and have no reason lo alter the very favourable opinion I al first formed of this place. I never in my life spent a day of more pure delight than that of my arrival, and every day since have met with something new to wonder at ami admire. Sydney is perhaps the finest situated town in'the world, standing at the mouth of a fine river, with a natural harbour able to contain all the navies of Europe; its situation is the most romantic I ever saw. Sydney is every day increasing in size and importance, and when we const, der what it has risen to in so short a time, and the wealth and great internal resouices of the country, it i3 difficult to say what in a few years it will arrive at. The country is not known at home as it ought to be, otherwise wc would have ten settlers for one, and those, men both of respectability and capital. The misfortune is, that a great proportion of the emi^ grants are of a description who will never do any good in any situation,- and their not succeeding is not attributed to their own conduct, as it ought to be, but to the country;- but the thing is now loo evident to be longer concealed, that a person with very small means may, with proper management, in a very short time, acquire not only an independence, but a band- some fortune. It will scarcely be believed at borne . that there arc individuals here of no long standing who have incomes from £ 5,000 to £ 8, f 00 a year, the produce of their wool alone. Van Diemen's Land is not to be compared to this country; it has got a name at home, and people remain there because they have no opportunity of judging for themselves; but between tlie two countries there can be no comparison, and I should never hesitate had I to advise any friend of mine. There is no want of society here— that is to say as far as good dinners and entertainments go— it is curious lo see how soon luxuries find their way into a young settlement like this. The people live iu a style that is seldom met wilh in ordinary life at home, and you would he astonished to see with wha' a degree of elegance some of their houses are fitted up, and where there is a want of taste, you are sure to see abundance of extravagance. Ever since 1 arrived, the weather has been most delightful. There were only two days disagreeably hot, otherwise we have had a continuation of the finest summer weather. We are now iu ihe first month of summer: the principal fruit in season is the orange; you have often heard of the peaches of this country, and I can assure you the account was not exaggerated— not only are the gardens and orchards filled with them, but by the road sides snd in the chinks of the rocks Ihey grow wild, and in cart loads. Vegetables of all descriptions may be raised all the year round, and what is remarkable in this climate is, that the productions of every country can be raised here without difficulty.— A grand dinner was lately given to the Governor at Paramatta, previ- ous to his taking leave of the colony, at which I was present, and was highly gratified. Upwards of a hundred of the most respectable inhabitants sat down to dinner, and 1 am sure his'Excellency will carry home a most favourable report both of 1 tie respecl- ahililv of the party and the elegance of the enter- tainment. I spent Ihe following day amongst the fig trees and orange groves of Paramatta, and returned to Sydney in the evening.— A person arriving here under the impress- ion that he is landing amongst a people chiefly composed ofthe offscowiings of so- ciety, in a land of pickpockets, in short, in Botany Hay, would be astonished to find himself in such a town as Sydney, and himself and his property as secure as at home. I wish you were where I am now sitting, the Cove in all its beauty > of wooded shores and green islands stretched before me; to my right the town rising in a gentle . dope, bhowing oft" its many elegant and public buildings to great advantage, and before me are the numerous shipping, anchored iu " the harbour. To enable you to estimate the import- ance of the place, I shall count them from my window — Ihere are eleven large ships; such as are seldom seen iu the good harbour of Leith, of these there is one from China, one from India, one from the Isle of France, and the rest from various parts of Britain; seven brigs, besides the Larue sloop of war, and craft in great y umbers. This may give you some idea of the trade of Sydney, for none of these are convict ships, and the harbour is considered as very empty at present. What chiefly startles people at home, is the idea of living in a place where the bulk of the popula- tion and almost the whole labouring classes and servants are convicted felons— but this impression soon wears off, and you ore not many hours on shore till you wonder what has become of all your fears; and it is not extraordinary lhaU » t should be so, for of all the places in the world, a man can make least here by dishonesty, while, 011 the other hand, he has every thing lo expect from his good behaviour. If a servant robs his master, he mus » t betake himself to Ihe woods, and become a savage. A great number also turn honest merely from the abseuce of want and lempta- The Principality-^- Upland Estates. A case, which excited uo small degree of. interest among the gentlemen possessed of upland estates in the Principality of Wales, was expected to have come on for trial at the Shrewsbury Assizes, on the 18th instant, in as much as it involved a question of very considerable importance to them,— whether the uninclosed sheepwa'ks, part of, and appertaining to their farms, and which they and their ancestors had possessed aud enjoyed, and exercised divers acts of ownership over, exclusively and uhint ruptediy for time immemorial, was their own soil, freehold, and property, or that of the Crown ? The facts of the case were simply these—- In the month of June, 1825, a person of the name of Joseph Tyson, with others, under the directions of Mr. Wilkin, ( the Receiver of the King's Rents for North Wales,) Mr. Richard Smith, an agent of Mr. Rothschild, the Jew, a great speculating adven- turer in mines, quarries, & c. and who is reported to have had a grant or a promise of a grant of al! or the greatest part of the waste lands belonging to the Crown in the Principality of Wales, thought proper to try the experiment of entering a very extensive uniriclosed mountainous piece of land and sheep walk, called Y Werddon, part of, and adjoining to, a farm called Rhiwbrysdir, ( on which there was then, and still is, a capital Slate Quarry, 111 full work,) situate in the parish of Festiniosr, in the county of Merio- neth, the property of William Gryffydd Oakeley, of Plas Tan y Bwlch, in this county, Esquire, and digging and searching for slates and minerals thereon, whereupon Mr. Oakeley's agent prepared notices to be served upon Messrs. Wilkin, Smith, Tyson, and others, that in case they continued after the service thereof to trespass on his said uninclosed sheepwalk, an action would be brought by him against them for a wilful and malicious trespass. The service of this notice brought a formal letter to Mr. Oakeley's agent, from Mr. A. Milne, of the Office of Woods and Forests, informing him, that tbe same had been received at the Office of the Commissioners of His Majesty's Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues, and that he was commanded to acquaint Mr. Oakeley, that it was their intention, under the authority and direction of the Lords of the Treasury, to permj't trials and searches for minerals, and Quarries of stone and slate, upon the Commons and Wastes belonging to the Crown, within fhe Principality of Wales, with a view to the working of fhe same upon- an extensive scale; and that if if was intended on fhe part of Mr. Oake- ley to deny the right of the Commissioners to adopt those measures within the lands which had been entered upon in the parish of Fest'iniog, the Board would direct their Solicitor fo commuuieate with the Solicitor of Mr. Oakeley, with a view to put any question which might be raised in support of such right, in the course of legal trial and determination. Mr. O'akeley accepted the challenge of the Com- missioners of Woods and Forests, and in order to put the question in a train of being determined in a Court of Law, commenced his action in the Court of Great Session for Merionethshire, at the Summer Session, 1825, against Joseph Tyson and others, for the before mentioned trespass, and for the purpose of trying his right to the soil and freehold ofthe said uninclosed sheepwalk, called Y Werddon ; and the cause being brought to issue, was to have come on for trial at Bala Spring Session, 1S26, but the defendants or their employers, apprehending that they could' not have a fair and impartial trial before a jury of the county of Merioneth, caused an appli- cation to be nv. ula by HisMaj'esty's Attorney- General, on an affidavit of Mr. Richard Smith, to the Court of Exchequer at Westminster, in Hilary Term last, and a rule was obtained that Mr. Oakeley should shew cause why the proceedings in the action brought by him against Tyson and' others, in the Court of Great Session for Merionethshire, should not be removed into the Court of Exchequer, so that tbe same might be fried in the County ofSalop; but care was taken that the application was made so late in the Term, that cause could not be shewn against it. until Easter Term following*. Mr. Jervis and Mr. Richards, in Easter Term1 fast', shewed cause against the rule, when the merits of the case, and the rights of the parties, were gone into fully; but the Court, notwithstanding,- made' fhe Rule absolute for removing the proceedings- out of the Court of Great Session into the Court of Exchequer. The news that the cause was ordered £ 0 be re- moved into the Court of Exchequer, was received by Mr. Rothschild's agents, & c. at Maenfwrog, Festiniog, and Tremadoc, with great demonstrations of joy and exaltation,— hints were thrown out ( for the purpose probably of intimidating ?*' lr. 0akel'ey); of a great advantage having been obtained over him ; that it would cost him several thousand pounds to try the qnestion at Shrewsbury ; and, in short, that the cause was at an end, and w ould not be more heard of. The defendants and their employers were, how- ever, much mistaken ; for Mr. Oakeley was not to be so easily intimidated; and he, finding that the defendants, after having obtained the order, were tardy in removing the proceedings out of the Court of Great Session to the Court of Exchequer, caused it to be done, and directed notice of trial fo be given to defendants for Shrewsbury Assizes, upon which defendants consented to withdraw their plea, and suffer Mr. Oakeley to enter up judgment against them, with nominal damages for the trespasses committed by them, and costs of suit ( which was aa much as he could have had if the cause had been tried), the defendants thereby admitting Mr. Oake- ley's right to the soil and freehold of the premises in question; and it is to be observed, that so sure were Mr. Rothschild and his agents of success in his speculations and adventures, that he in the last Session of Parliament went to the enormous expense of bringing in a bill for making a Railway to convey the slates and minerals to be discovered on Moelwyn, and different parts of Festiniog, from thence to Port Madoc, but, which bill was so successfully opposed by the gentlemen interested in upland property in Wales, that it did not pass into a law.— Chester Chronicle. my doctrines, and adopt my policy by making it their own ; others would not quarrel with me as an individual, provided 1 should consent to separate myself from my principles. I have transacted affairs of the greatest moment ; I have known almost all the kings, and almost all the men, ministers or others, who have played a part, in my time. " I was presented to Louis XVI , and saw Wash- ington, at the commencement of my career; and 1 have been again cast into the condition iu which I this day find myselfl Buonaparte several times threatened me with his anger, and his power, and yet he was attracted by a secret liking to me, as i also felt an involuntary admiration of what, was great in his character. ! might have been every thing in his government had I chosen ; but there was always wanting- to my success one passion, and a vice— ambition and hypocrisy. Vicissitudes like these, which have assailed me almost from the moment of an unhappy childhood, will, perhaps, communicate some interest to my Memoirs National Char act e listics< The following character of the principal nations of Europe was written about the middle of the last century bv Mr. Mozcr, who was envoy from the Elector Palatine to Hanover. Though it may appear somewhat tinctured with prejudice, and time may have made some alterations, yet the moral and poli- tical features of each country are pretty c, orrectly drawr,- and may be recognised as portraits at the present day. " ENGLAND.-— Tire domain of liberty and property; the country of extremes. Virtue is here divine— vice infernal. Here are liberty of conscience,, political liberty, civil liberty,- commercial liberty, liberty of thought, tongue, and pen, to aud beyond the limits of the most profligate jiceuse; newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, registers; turfs, cock- pits, clubs, macca- ronies, bluckguards, stocks, lotteries, schemes, lame ducks, clever fellows, humour, and Novembers big with suicide: post chaises, Italian music and pictures, but few with ears or eyes; the nest of foreigners; the country of Shakspeare, Newton, and Hogarth. U FRANCE,-— The country of CITOYENES and MODE. Mere things are estimated by Iheir air. A watch may bo a master- p! ece without exactness, and a woman rule the town without beauty, if they have air. Here life's a dance, and awkwardness of step its great disgrace. Character here is dissolved into the public, and au original a name of mirth. fr Cela s: 1 fait, ct cela ne se fail pas,' are here the supreme umpires of conduct. Their religion is superstition, fashion sophism. The ladies lay on rouge in equi lateral squares, and powder with brick- dust. Tyranny may grind the face but not the countenance of a Frenchman ; his feet are made to dance in wooden shoes. Tbe Parliament resembles an old toothless mastiff. France was I lie country of Le Sueur and Racine, and is that of Voltaire. " SPAIN,— The dregs of a nation, two centuries past the arbiters of Europe and leaders of discovery. Still sense, sagacity, arid cool courage, are tamely sub- mitted here to the iron yoke of the inquisition ; and each note of humanity drowned in the. yells of Do minic's victims. The prerogatives of society moulder here in provincial archives; these are the execrable lords of one hemisphere, and the humble factors of Europe. To see a sceptre in the gripe of women. Confessors and favourites make no characteristic of Spain ; nor is the country of Calderon and Cervantes, more " than its neighbours, the land of ignorance, vanity, indolence, poverty, envy. " PORTUGAL.— Something of literature and his tory, glare, gallantry, superstition, earthquakes, dag- gers, inquisition; the bloody dawns of an uncertain day; the country of Gamoens. ** GERMANY.-— Its heroes, like Italian pictures, shew best at a distance. The rest parcel out to deserts; petty tyrants, priests, pedigreed beggars, and pedants; and all her neighbours know Germany. Yet this is the mother of Armidius and Frederic, of Leibnitz, and Wolfe, of Handel, and Graun, of Mengs and Douner, of Winkeiman and R. imams, " RUSSIA.—- The motley creation of Peter, called the Great. Imitators of all Europe, but not Rus sians; a country taught to rear the produce of southern climates to' vapid life, and to neglect its own vigorous offspring, Eftsiory, mathematics^ geography, a general balance of trade, inhuman intrepidity, slavery", savage glare of wealth. HOLLAND.— A country, through all its ages, fertile of patriots, though now plethoric with wealth, and unstrung by public indolence. A nobility once full of republican metal, sneaking by degrees in o courtiers. Here are scholars, civilians,- laborious I l ifters, trade. Here absence of misery is happiness; indifference, contentment; profit, honour. Here sentiment is nonsense; plain sense, wit; jollity, pleasure;. posssesion, enjoyment; money the anchor of minds, the gale of passions, tbe port of life. " SWITZERLAND.— The land of liberty. Trade,, taste, knowledge, discovery among the Protestants, vigour in all; despisers of death; slaves of money abroad. Abroad, a contemptible swarm of valets, clerks, officers, artists, schemers; the leeches of fools." Herbert, the deserter, at Bhurtpore, has bee" , hanged, pursuant to the sentence of the Court Mar- tial, 011 the morning ofthe 30th of January. We learn, by a gentleman from Gourock, that the operations for raising the Comet have hitherto been attended vvith complete success. The vessel has been raised some feet from the ground, and drawn some distance towards the shore. The most diffi- cult part of the operation is now over, as she is out of the sand. There are four gabberts moored two and two by the stern, alongside of each other. Across the decks are placed large logs of oak, to which are fastened the chains which go under the bottom of the Comet. At low water they are made tight, so that by the rise of the tide she is raised from 10 to 12 feet. At high water the whole vessels are drawn towards the shore by a windlass on the beach.— Glasgow Chronicle. The half- yearly meeting of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal Proprietors was held at the former place on Tuesday, when a dividend of 30s per share was declared payable on the 1st of A. ugust. The statement of the accounts was very satisfactory to the proprietors present, when the untoward circumstance of the failure of the trea surers, Gibbins, Smith and Co. was taken into consideration. The undue bills which, to the amount of nearly £ 3000, were in their hands at the stoppage of the house, will be paid in full in a few days. FEMALE PAINTERS.— Gallantry forbids, but truth commands to say, that young ladies are but sorry sketchers. The dear creatures have no notion of I perspective. At flower painting and embroidery, tbey tire pretty fair hands, but they make sad work among waterfalls and ruins. They pencil most extraordinary trees, and nothing can be more puzzling than their horned cattle. Their women are like boys in girls clothes— ail as flat as flounders; nor can there be greater failures than the generality of their men. Not u ithstanding, it is pleasant to hang over them, seated on stone or^ stool drawing from nature; and now and then to help them in with a cow or a horse,- or a hermit. It is a difficult, almost an impossible thing — that foreshortening, Tbe most speculative genius is often at a loss to conjecture the species of a human being foreshortened by a young lady. The hanging Tower at Pisa is, we believe, some thirty feet or so off the perpendicular, and there is one at Caer- philly about seventeen; but these are nothing to the castles in the air we have seen built by the touch of a female magician; nor is il an unusual thing with artists ofthe fair sex to order their plumed chivalry to gallop down precipices considerably steeper than a house, on animals apparently produced between the tiger and elephant.— Their happiest landscapes betray indeed an amiable innocence of all branches of natural history, except perhaps botany— the foreground being accordingly well stocked with rare plants, which it would stagger a Hooker, a Greville, or a Graham, to christen out of any accredited nomenclature. When they have succeeded in getting something like the ap- pearance of water between banks, like Mr. Barrow of the Admiralty, they are not very particular about it running up hill; and it is interesting to see a stream stealing quietly below trees in gradual ascension, till, disappearing round a corner for a few minutes, it comes thundering down in the shape of a waterfall on the head of an elderly gentleman, unsuspectingly read- ing Mr. Wordsworth's Excursion, perhaps, in the foreground. Nevertheless, we repeat, lhat it is de. lightful to hang over one of the dear creatures, seated on stone or stool, drawing from nature; for whatever may be the pencil's skill, the eye may behold the glimpse of a vision whose beauty shall be remembered when even Collision and Windermere have faded into oblivion.— Blackwood's Magazine.— Article on ihe Lakes. A letter from the Croft of Glenrauick, dated July 5, says—" We had two tremendous thunder storms here last week, accompanied by a fall of rain, which has refreshed the crops greatly. Ther ® is a sheet of fire blazing from Cairngorum to Cloche nabar; almost the whole of our hills are burned round and round ; however, there is no material damage done to the forests, except a few scattered trees in Glentanner. The extent of suffaee burnt between Loehnagar and the Glen of Dye cannot be calculated at less than between 100 and 20fr square miles. It is a singular fact that all the trout and eels in the hill burns have died, and the people are daily gathering bags full of them. It is sup- posed the smoke being full of carbonic acid has done it, for there is no other way to account for it."— Aberdeen Chronicle. A correspondent states, that " the tract of moun- tain above Larne, called Agnew's Hill, has bvui on. fire these eight or ten days past. Upwards of 100 acres of moss, or peat, about ten feet deep, have been consumed. A number of men were employed by the proprietor, Edward Jones Agnew, Esq. to stop the progress of the burning ; but it has again broken out, and was burning in various places on Sunday night, like so many beacon fires. We regret to add that this calamity has occasioned a great destruction of game: the plovers have been seen fluttering over their young and devoting them- selves to destruction rather than leave them :— and! many of them have been found destroyed on their nests."— Belfast Chronicle. The conflagrations upon the Moors sti'. l eonlinuer and without abundant rain, they are not likely to be speedily extinguished. Large tracts of sheep- walks have been entirely destroyed, and the hopes of thos © sportsmen who proposed to make the West- Riding Moors the field of fame, are annihilated. The fires have not only spread over a wide extent of suiface, but burn to a great depth, consuming not only the moss, but the peat underneath. In some places, where they reach a soft substratum, ihey run to a great length under ground, and b re irk out at ihe sur- face at other spots. The flames and smoke together present a most formidable appearance from any ofthe high grounds from which a view of them can be ob- tained. As some particular account of the extent of tbe devastation must be interesting to our readers, we have taken pains to ascertain the real state of the con- flagrations, and fhe following is the result :— Hawkes- worth Moor is entirely destroyed. O11 Ilk ley Moor, 500 acres are burnt. There is no hope of any part of Bingley Moor being saved-. Burley Moor is on fire, and is partly consumed. Thornton Moor is entirely destroyed/ and with it all the young plantations, which cost upwards of £ 2000 in planting. Oaksworth Moor is entirely burnt. Ovenden Moor, Holme Moss, Burnsall Fell, Hehden and Grassington Moors, are 011 fire; and unless, as we have already said, incessant and heavy rain should speedily fall, every one of these must be entirely consumed. We have 110 doubt, that lightning is the cause of the conflagrations.— Brad- ford Courier. fSUscdlantous Enteiitgence* STEAM SHIP ENTERPRISE.— The Liverpool Chronicle contains along and interesting account of the Enterprise's voyage to India. From the con- cluding remarks which follow, it does not seem pro- bable that a passage by such means will ever become a common one. " Calcutta, Dec. 58, 1825.— On a review of the Enterprise's passage, it is evident to any one ac- quainted with the subject, that, first, the very worst season of the year was selected for her sailing; secondly, that two more depots of coals, at least, are wanting, to enable the passage to be properly effect- ed ; and, thirdly, it occurs to me that the ship was not rigged and masted as she ought to have been. It appears highly probable lhat, profiting by the know- ledge obtained 011 this voyage, and attending to the three points 1 have mentioned, the voyage may be completed rn 75 to 80 days ; but in less than that I should think hardly possible. " If the distances from point to point round the projections of Africa and Ce'\ Ion are measured, they will be found to be 11,200 miles; to get over this distance in 75 days would compel you to make good nearly 150 miles per day. Now when the stoppag- es by taking coals 011 board three times, and the opera- tion of headwinds, are brought in consideration, I think it must he pretty clear, that if ever it is done in this time, it will be an unusual combination of skill, power, and enterprise, and that it will be equal to any undertaking- of modern times. At the same time that I am thus stating the diffi- culties that naturally present themselves, i am con- fident that it could be effected ; aud that if proper FLOWER POTS TOR ROOMS.— At the meeting of the Horticultural Society, on the 6th inst. a paper was read upon the manner of cultivating plants in pots filled with moss only and not mould. It appeared that the method to be pursued, was to fill a pot with coarse moss of any kind, iu the same manner as it would be filled with earth, and to place a cutting or a seed in this moss. The secretary was understood to say, that he was well acquainted with the practice, and that it succeeded admirably,, especially with plants destined to ornament a draw- ing- room. In such a situation, plants grown in moss,, were stated to thrive better than if they were in garden mould, and to possess the very great advan- tage of not causing dirt, by the earth washing out of them when watered. For transportation, plants rooted in moss were said to be better adapted on account of their lightness. In short, the method was declared to be be in all ways excellent. The explanation of the practice seems to be this j that moss rammed into a pot, and subject to con- tinual watering, is soon brought into a state of de- composition, when it becomes a very pure vegetable mould ; and it is well known that very pure vegeta- ble mould is the most proper of all materials, for the growth of almost all kinds of plants. The moss would also not retain more moisture, than precisely the quantity best adapted to the absorbent powers of the root,— a condition which can scarcely be obtained with any certainty, by tha use of earth. — News of Literature. ECONOMICAL WINDMILLS— Since the general introduction of steam engines, the use of wind, as ft moving power for machines, has been much neglected in England. The French, who study economy to a great degree, in the construction of machinery, are beginning to bring the power of wind into more general use in agriculture, & c. The Society for the Encouragement of Agriculture at Chartres, have given a prize of 4000 francs to M. De La Molere, for the construction of a solid and economical windmill, capable of being ap- plied to rural labours. The inventor sells these mills at the following prices:— A one- horse power, which will turn a stone of 30 inches in diameter, £ 16, and with a regulator £ 24 ; a two- horse, power, or a stone of 36 inches, £ 24 ; and £ 36 with a regulator. These machines are made portable, to move to any part of the farm, to raise water for draining, irrigation; ice. Ma- M. DE CHATEAUBRIAND. A romance, written by M. de Chateaubriand twenty years ago, entitled Arenturesdu Dernier Abencerage, has just appeared. It is accompanied by Memoirs of the author, from which we make the following ex- tracts:— " I have undertaken the Memoirs of my Life— that life has been very much varied. I have traversed many seas ; I have lived in ihe hut of savages and the palace of kings; in camps aud in cities. A traveller in Ihe plains of Greece, and a pilgrim to'Jerusalem, I have taken my station in the midst of many kinds of ruins. I have seen pass away the kingdom of Louis XVI. and the empire of Buonaparte; I have partaken the exile of the Bourbons, and I have announced their restora tion. Two weights, which seem attached to my fortune, have made it alternately rise and fall in an equal degree ; 1 have been in favour, f have been dismissed ; I have been again admitted to confidence ; shipped one day, the next has thrown me a mantle, to be again snatched from me on the third. Accustomed ( 0 these storms, in whatsoever harbour I arrive, 1 con sider myself at all times as a sea- faring man, who must presently re embark ; and in no country do i establish a fixed residence. Two hours were enough for my quitting the ministry, and delivering over the keys of the place to my successor. " Whether it is a subject for sorrow or congratula- tion, my writings have tinged with their spirit a great number of the writings of my time ; my name for five and t wenty years has been associated with the changes in the social order ; it is connected with the reign of Buonaparte, with the re- establish- ment of the altars, with that of legitimate monarchy, and with the foundation of the constitutional mo- narchy. Some reject me as an individual, but preach A discovery of great importance has lately been made by Mr. Archibald Cook, manager of the Paisley Gas Works. The gas tar, which is of little value, and troublesome to get quit of, Mr. Cook has applied as a substitute for coal, in heating- the retorts, in the production of gas. The practical result of his experiment has been completely suc- cessful . The immense property accumalated by the late J. Bruce, Esq. of Grangehill and Falkland ( amount- ing, it has been said to £ 350,000), goes, we hear, in the event of the decease of the immediate legatee without children, to the endowment of an academy or college in the town of Falkland!— Edinburgh Star. VULGAR ERRORS IN THE LAW.— An impression very generally prevails that a surgeon and a butcher are both exempted from serving on juries, by reason of the barbarity of their callings. So far as the butcher is concerned, there is no ground whatever for the notion, and as to the surgeon he is exempted, not " by reason of the barbarity of his calling," but by the express words of au Act of Heury the Eighth, passed for their encouragement, and the promotion of the study of physic. Most people believe, too, that the body of a debtor may be seized 011 its way to the grave, a notion lhat has received encouragement from the very absurd story tel ited in a marvellous manner by the showmen of Westminster Abbey, that a certain coffin there displayed contains the body of an ambassador, which was arrested on its way lo ihe grave, aud was then deposited in the Abbey for safe custody. What could have given rise to such an absurd opinion, it is impossible to say. To arrest a dead body is an indictable offence, and would without doubt be visited with the utmost severity upon those who should be guilty of it. Lord Ellenborough, in the case of Jones v. Ashburnham, Hilary Term, 1804, declared " it was contrary lo every principle of law and moral / ecling— r- an act revolting to humanity, and illegal." When a man is about to many a woman, it is a general opinion that, should he be desirous to avoid incurring any liability to ihe debts his intended wife a! that moment owes, he may do so, by receiving her . it the hand of the priest, clothed only in her shift. Again, it is a very prevailing error that those who are born at sea have a legal settlement in the parish of Stepney. Indeed, so far has this error been insisted upon, that the parish of Stepney has been called upon more than once to resist the imposition of paupers upon them, whose only claim rested upon the fact that they were born at sea. Other vulgar errors are, that the old statutes have prohibited the planting of vineyards, or the use of sawing mills; aud it appears not improbable lhat this idea has arisen out of the Acts of Edward VI. El zabeth, and Charles II. and which severally forbid the use ot gig mills in the woollen manufacture, and the use of iron- mills within 22 miles of London, to prevent the increasing tlie price of fuel, and the plantation of the tobacco plant in England; and all which, except those relating to gig- mills, are still in force. It is likewise supposed lo be penal to open a coal mine, or io kill a crow within five miles of London, and in the eyes of many the carrying a dark lantern is also a public offence. Many also believe lhat ihe King signs the death- warrant of every culprit condemned to die, whereas tiie sign manual is not required for any person's execution, except those sentenced to death in London, and ihe necessity for which arises out of the privileges granted to the citizens of London, and one of which is, that they shall not be executed save ai the express command of the Sovereign. measures are resorted to it will be effected, though,^^ hines of three- horse and four- house power, to tu. n perhaps, uot. with much profit to the adventurers, unless they should meet with such a sale for their ship as the Enterprise did, and well merited. < l The shortest possible route a steam ship could take is comprised under the following bearings or courses and distances : — Miles.

You have heard ofthe popular course of Lectures on Chemistry. Since the commencement of the- e prelections, a new nomen- clature has been introduced into the fashionable world, more scientific, and better suited to the pursuits ofthe inhabitants, than that formerly used. A11 invitation is now termed an attraction to a certain place, and a counter or prior invitation is called a devellent attrac- tion. We now hear no more of the common- place words, genius, talents, & c. but quite enough of the capacity " f the human mind : a elevcr person is said to have a large capacity for knowledge, and a stupid person the reverse. When a lady goes to Glasgow by the coach, she is said to have gone thither via siccd ; while a friend who prefers the canal boat'is described as travelling via hutnidd. " I was not a little astonished, the other day, to hear a good lady of my acquaintance finding fault, with her servant for leaving a parcel of knives in a wet state, by saying to her that the metal should not he allowed to remain in that condition, as, acted upon by the oxide, of hydrogen in contact with atmospherical air, it would undoubtedly become oxidated. The poor girl stared in mute astonishment: so did I. " Lawyers are not now, as formerly, desired to draw up a marriage contract: such phraseology has become obsolete. They are now told that the combining pro- perties of the two will, when in union, form one excellent estate. When this preliminary has been ad- justed, and the fair girl and happy youth go hand in hand to the altar, the one is declared to be in a state of negative electrization ; and then, by a change ofthe terms, the marriage state is denominated complete neutralization. When by and by the husband looks sour and angry, the lady remarks that the caloric is flying off, or that he reunites well. If she be wise, she avoids him at the time, being well acquainted with the immutable law that all bodies iu contact with or near to each other, soon become of the sa. me temper- ature. 44 When an egg at the breakfast table is well boiled, the alnmen is declared to be sufficiently coagulated ; and, if by any dire mishap, another egg should be tainted, as its smell will at. once declare, the lady Coolly desires the footman to < remove this egg, as the sulphurated hydrogen gas is evolving ' When a vase is placed 011 the table, it was no uncommon thing, in former days, to hear the question asked, are von sure the water boiled ? but now the matron demands if the water, or it may he, if the oxide of hvdrogen. has reached the 212th degree of Fahrenheit." stones of 42 and 48 inches diameter, from £ 32 to £ 48.• with regulators the price is one third more; to the larger of these machines is attached a smaller mill for crushing grain for cattle. Considering the small cost of these machines, that they may be made portable, and applied to a variety of purposes, and lhat corn may be ground by them for small families, we may ex- pect that they w ill be generally introduced into farming establishments in this country ; there can he no doubt that our own millwrights could make them as good, and nearly . as cheap, as the French. On the average, a windmill will work at least three days in the week, and it is no expense to the owner whether working or standing still.— It is not generally known, that a given weight of corn will yield a larger weight of flour, when ground by a water mill, than when ground by a wind- mill, which is entirely owing to the greater absorption of moisture from the atmosphere of a water mill. ' A given weight of flour from the same corn ground at a wind mill would, however, make a heavier loaf than the flour from the water mill, because thp latter contains a large portion of humidity, and will not require the same quantity of water to knead it into good breaii. COUNSEL'S OPINION. — An eminent Barrister had, some years ago, a case sent to him for his opinion. The case stated was the most pre- posterous and improbable that ever occurred tothe mind of man, and concluded by asking, whether, under such circumstances, an action would lie? He took his pen and wrote, " Yes, if the witnesses will lie too, but not otherwise."
