Mr. Collinson, " ho resides at Kirbv- under- Dale, East Riding of Yorkshire, was very much afflicted with a Scorbutic Complaint, which appeared iu the Form of large Blotches all over his Body, and was restored to perfect Health by Inking only two Eleven Shilling Bottles of your Antiscorbutic Drops.— The other Case occurred in a Child of Mr. R. Hessell, of Seatoit Ross, also in the East Riding of Yorkshire; it was seized when two Years old wilh a violent Scorbutic Com- plain!, and had three large Ulcers in each Arm; every remedy failed Mn curing the Disease till they were fortunate enough to try your Drops, and I am happy to say, by Perseverance the Child was completely cured. I shall be glarj lo answer any Enquiries, and remain, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant, WM. BOTTF. RII. L, Druggist, Pocklinglon. To Messrs. John Lignum & Son, Surgeons, Manchester.

The account of the health of the Duke'of York, on Saturday and yesttrdav was very gratifying.

The accounts from Gibraltar received this morning to the 12th ult. state, the southern provinces of Spain are ripe for revolt, and the army disaffected. They receive no rations or pay, but their plundering- is overlooked. IMPROVEMENT or TRADE.— It is impossible for tis to read the accounts received from the Manu- facturing Districts during the last fortnight, without ; congratulating ourselves and our readers upon the consoling picture which they present; From Man- chester we are informed that the improvement iti trade generally has been steady through the week, prices are obtained beyond those of last week, and the stock of goods on band is greatly reduced. From Buddersfield the accounts are still more cheering. The market- day preceding the date of our information was well attended, a demand of ten per cent. advance in the price of goods was made by the seller, and five per cent, was given by the buyers in most cases, and the transaction was accompanicd by a remark on the part of the seller that no more . woul$ be sold so cheap. From Leeds also the ac- counts are equally favourable. For the last six- weeks the change for the better has been ofthe most decisive character, the number of unemployed is gradually diminishing, and many of those who were partially employed are getting into full work without any material reduction of wages. From Glasgow, Bradford, Macclesfield, Halifax, and other manufacturing towns, similar accounts have been received, presenting a prospect of returning pros- perity for the master manufacturer, and comfort for that numerous class of our fellow subjects, the workmen, who have for some time been suffering, so severely, in consequence of the privations to • which they have been subjected, and who, so much to their credit, with but few exceptions indeed, have borne those privations with a patience and forbearance entitling them to the highest praise and consideration. PROVINCIAL BANK OF ENGLAND AND WALES. — Saturday, Mr. Wilks appeared before the Lord Mayor, to oppose the bail offered on an attachment laid by him against Mr. Frederick Verbeke, the brother of his former partner, on an action to re- cover the sum of £ 24. 10s. 6d, being the alleged share of expenses incurred in the attempt to form a Prov incial Bank for England and Wales. As far aw we could learn the nature of Ihe transaction, il ap penred lhat Mr. Wilke, when he projected llie plan for the Provincial Bank of England and Wales, got several persons to sign an agreement lo pay a share Of expenses incurred in carrying il into execution. Mr F. Verbeke was one of the persons who signed, The plan, as every body knows, failed, after Mr. Wilks had sent circular letters to all the Members of Parlia- ment, and had got a petition in its favour presented. Ho then, after these services had been performed, brought in a hill for ±' 243. 5s. ; jd. against the parlies tor the expenses.— Nearly all refused to pay the charge, alleging that it was exorbitant, and Ihey re quired a specification of Ihe items, which, we under, stood, he refused to give, or al least refused to give in a manner which they deemed satisfactory. In con- sequence of their refusal be gave notice of actions ; and, to ensure his £ 24". 10s. 6d. from each, actually issued attachments from the Lord Mayor's Com againsl, the money in Ihe hands of Iheir bankers. This was ihe case wilh Mr. F. Veibeke, ihe defendant who now appeared to bail ihe attachment, and to un- dertake to resist ilie demand in. Court. Mr. Dickenson, a respectable solicitor, resident in " New Broad- street, and Mr. Walford, Ihe Secretary of the Welsh Iron Company, aud brother- in- law of Mr, Wilks, appeared to give hail, Mr. Wilks opposed Mr. Walford on the ground that as Secretary to the Company, he was not a house bolder, but a mere servant to the Company, and would not be entitled to give hail. The LORD MAYOR asked Mr. Walford whether he resided in Ihe house? Mr. Walford replied in ibe affirmative. The LOUD MAYOR was decidedly of opinion that the Si cri lary of a Company, resident iu Ihe house might give bail. He therefore admitted Mr. Walford Mr. Wilks opposed Mr. Dickenson, as bail, on Ihe ground ibat he bad the other day borrowed a guinea. THE LOR n MAYOR smiled at I his objection, and said that be bad tlie other day actually occasion lo boi row one himself, Tbe bail having been sworn lhat Ihey were worth Ihe sum of £- 24 each, after having displayed some uneasiness at Ibe opposition, a3 a piece of sharp prac- tice, were admitted. Mr, Verbeke tendered a protested bill of Mr. Wi'ks' for £ 28. 15s. as bail, but after having excited si ine umoscmeni, ii was rejected as irregular.— Star.

BRIDGNORTH.— On Friday last, the new Bailiffs of Bridgnorth, William Coley and Charles Clarke, Esqrs. were sworn into office, and on that day gave a most sumptuous entertainment to a numerous party of friends. The two Members for the Bo- rough were present; also W. L. Childe, Esq. Major Bri'dgeman, Thomas Whitmore, jun. Esq. James Foster, Esq. Counsellor Ryan, and a great number of other highly- respectable - gentlemen, many of whom, with several other persons, were made bur- gesses on the above day. The evening passed away in the greatest good humour aud conviviality, saving a trifling altercation which took place late iu the evening between a very few persons, advo- cates of the respective parties who lately contested this ancieut borough.— A ludicrous event took place in the course of the evening : Mr. Coley, as Chairman, having called on Mr. Alderman Bouc- her, the Vice- president, to send up a toast which had been given by a gentleman who sat near the Vice, but had not reached the ear of the Chairman, the President, after a short time had elapsed, sent a young waiter down to the Vice, requesting him to send up the toast. The waiter, mistaking the purport of the message, hurried down to Mr. Boucher's house, which is no small distance from Ihe Guildhall, and, alhiOsf breathless, addressed Mrs. Boucher with " Madam, I'm come for the toast." Mrs. Boucher: ' What toast, my boy?' " I conna say what toast, but the Baily sent me down for it, and it must go up in a minnit." Mrs. Boucher: ' Surely, my boy, you have made a mis- take.' " Indeed, madam, 1 hanna, for I run ali the way." Mrs. Boucher: ' I am fearful you are mistaken in your errand, my boy, and would advise you to run back.' " Well, madam, I'll go back and see."— It is needless to observe,, the toast had passed long before the waiter returned. For the admission of Burgesses made at two Common Halls, recently held for the Town and Liberties of Bridgnorth, the sums paid amounted to very nearly £ 500. On Thursday last, ai » rm- eiing " f the Commnn Council, Sir John Copley, Ihe Master of the Rolls, was elected Recorder of Ihe City of Bristol. In ihe night of Monday se'nnight a valuable bay cart mare was taken from a field on ihe farm of Mr. William Farmer, of Lulsley. . Upon tlie discovery of Ihe robbery, early on Ihe nexl morning, Mr. F. hearing no tidings of his horse in the neighbourhood, apprized some friends here of his loss, and by whom hand- bills were circulated, and he immediately set off to the forest of Dean, a quarter which has recently become notorious iir affairs of this nature, hut could learn nothing of the object iu search. In the mean time, information had been obtained that the horse had, early on Tuesday morning, passed, al Ihe outskirts of this city, towards Birmingham, and learning which, on his rclnrn ou Wednesday, and lhat a fair was lo be held in that town as yesterday, Mr, Farmer imme- diately went thither, taking Orchard, Ihe police officer. : slerdav, the fair was closely watched throughout llie ' day, but without success, aud Mr. F. was returning by coach, when, just before quilling Ibe town, lie re. cognized bis mare in the possession ( if a man who was in treaty wilh another person for her side for £ 12, allhough worth 40 guineas. Mr. Farmer thereupon jumped down, and claimed his property, upon Inch ihe fellow took lo his heels, he was speedily overtaken, however, by Mr. F. who handcuffed him, placed him on the coach, and he is uow in our county gaol for Ihe purpose of examination to- morrow. He slales his name to be Thomas Morgan, a native of Uedditch he appears to be a man of about forty years of age, aud is by trade a higler. Me fully confesses the offence, and appears to anticipate the worst cou sequences from it. ll is ascertained, lhat on passing through Ihe turnpike at St. John's, he enquired whether ticket Ihere would free Pershore gale, clearly for the purpose of deceiving his pursuers. — Another mail, named Gardener, well known in ihis . city, having lived as ostler al the Navigation Inn, Low^ smoor, was yesterday fully committed for Irial at Ihe Public- office, at Birmingham, for stealing a horse- in ihe county of Warwick. The horse was stolen on Tues. ay night. It was missed shortly after by the pro- prietor, who, after much exertion, obtained a clue which he followed, and successfully, as iu passing along Ihe road he observed his animal grazing in a field opposite a public house. He enquired of the landlord if he was for sale, upon which Gardener was introduced lo him as llie owner, aud who, having avowed himself as such, was secured. Gardener is a very old offender. Some lime since he was capitally convicted of horse- stealing at Warwick Assizes, and received sentence of death, but a power- ful interest obtained for him a commutation of Ihe punishment to twelve months' imprisonment. — We would slale, by way of advice to parlies losing horses, to be as particular as possible iu the description they put forth of I hem ; bul for a trifling inaccuracy in Ihis respect, Morgan would have been much earlier apprehended — Worcester Herald. STEAM CAN A L BOAT.— A Steam Canal Boat arrived in Birmingham ou Friday last, from London, carry- ing twenty tons, and is the first successful attempt ever made. The steam is generated with the Patent Duplex Generators, npon. an entirely new principle, vitkovt a boiler, and without danger. The weight of the machinery does not exceed four tons. Her consumption of coal upon the trip was one ton ; she has a wheel in the stern, upon an improved con- struction, that is capable of being raised up on entering a lock. The average of her speed was equal to that. of the fly- boats. She passed through tho long tunnel, one mile aud three- fourths, iu forty minutes, and towed another boat carrying ten tons, without sensibly diminishing her speed ; no incon- venience was experienced from the smoke. Great curiosity was excited on the banks of the canal by this novel mode of travelling, and at one time she had no less than fifty passengers upon her deck. The result of this experiment has been perfectly satisfactory, and when the machinery is applied to regular caual boats of a suitable construction, it is calculated that one whole day will be saved in time between London and Birmingham. It is the inten- tion of the proprietors to establish a line of steam boats immediately. This machinery, from its light- ness, is peculiarly adapted for shoal rivers and canals. NO.

SIR,— Was I the unconditional an^ popular pane, gyrist of great establishments and expensive works, I should proffer you a courteous and proud eulogium on the merits of the intended alteration ami extension of the Salop Infirmary, in whatever way carried iuto effect, whether upon the oid or a new site; and in Case the latter was preferred, as the more spirited and characteristic of the county, should amply comment on the boldness and novelty of throwing " a cast- iron bridge" over the Severn"' for tbe express benefit and accommodation of the said house, though there are already two ferry boats and two stone bridges, notori- ously sufficient to the present day, within half a mile each" way of the spot. But as large establishments; are n. ot easily con- structed, altered, or supported, and most easily fall into dilapidation anc^ abuse, is it not apparent, that the more bounded and circumscribed they are ( and remain), the less they are subject to those evils, and the less burdensome to tbe nation or province whereto they belong? This. I think, is a pretty wholesome and warranted remark. R. ul what singular genius Mr. Bazledine's scheme ( as inserted in the weekly paper) really displays above that of the original exhibited by Mr. Clement about a twelvemonth ago^ the inexpediency and inconvenience of which were then sufficiently and openly proved, I ana at a loss to discover, except it is in the fashionable appendage of the 14 cast iron bridge," and minor alterations, the estimate whereof is not submitted to Common anim adversion, but which, if the funds of the charity and economy are to be regarded, render it still less and less pleasing to the public eye. So much for this secondary design. Rather than exhaust, the public purse in alterations, transfers, and " cast- iron bridges," would it not be better to institute and appoint Medical Men and small Branch Establishments through the county, or at least in those places where accidents and sickness prevail"; thus extending the life and spirit of the institution, and precluding lhat species of double martyrdom or death which, after one misfortune, awaits those who are laid wailing and bleeding upon planks and hurdles— forced from their native homes, and hurried along like wounded soldiers from the confines to the centre of the county, as if there was but one cup aud place of cure. Medical Men are not now wanting in these parts; and if thus empowered and engaged, would confer a lasting and signal honour on the county, and a super- lative benefit on the lower classes of the community who stand in need of their free and prompt assistance, and at an expanse not greater than in the usual, aud, 1 may safely say, insulated and antiquated routine of a County Infirmary, which, for ihe present age, is little less extravagant aud absurd than a County Mess Another means of preserving the funds of the charity, and continually reducing the home department, wili be to induce Parliament to enact a law, subjecting masters and employers to the surgical expenses of those mutilated and injured in their respective em. ployments. This, I think you will", say, is indeed wanting, as it will secure a just and general connect- ing medium between the employer and the employed, and restore confidence between man and man. Hav- ing thus fulfilled my intimations in a cur:* uy, but yet, 1 trust, in a clear aud satisfactory manner, i have the pleasure to subscribe myself, With deference and respect, Your very obedient servant, SALOP.

The Second Gwentian Olympiad was held at Brecon, on Tuesday, 26th September.— The day was ushered in wilh the ringing' of bells at. the different churches, and although tiie weather was unfavourable in the course of the morning-, the rattling* of carriag- es / and other circumstances proved that the nationality of the province of Gwent had. not decreased since the last meeting.— A . short time before eleven o'clock, the sound of the trumpet announced that this Festival of Celtic Literature was about to commence. The Hall was crowded with rank and beauty. At eleven pre- cisely, the Right Hon. Lord Rodney, the Patron, took • the Chair, and the business of the day Commenced.— His Lordshipstated the purposes of Eisteddfodau, and congratulated the audience'on the respectable appear- ance of the ladies and gentlemen who composed the same, and. added, that whilst the institution was supported; by such patrons, it could not fail to flourish and be perpetuated. Upon which, Glanmeha^ cyn, the Bard of the Brecon Cynireigyddion Society, was ushered On t- he- platform, and addressed the meeting in prose and verse, and created considerable iuterest, both fromihis energetic manner and for the sentiments he expressed, being one of. those brave men, who, in the most arduous and difficult times, maintained the honour of the British flag, and laid the foundation of oilr Naval Empire; and it was one of the happiest recollections of his life, that he commenced his career of honourable service in the ship of Admiral Rodney. Addressing- the assembly iu the ancient British lan- guage, which was afterwards well interpreted by Mr. Price, G/ ontnehascyn sard that there was a time when he thought the sound ofthe cannon the sweetest music, and those two words of command, " Boarders awav," to be the finest and most poetical composition he had ever heard. But now he thought they must yield to tlie tones of the Harp, and the voice of the Awen, and he verily believed iu his conscience, that the present splendid assembly afforded a more inspiring sight than even a French squadron heaving in view. Mr. Henry Jones, of Me'rthyr- tyd vil, then read, in a very superior style, some English lines of his own composition, in cong- ratul'ation of the Bards. — He was followed by Mr. VVilliams, of Brecon, who recited some Engtynion which he had written for the occasion-, complimentary to the Patron and his worthy relative Sir Charles Morgan, of Tredegar. A copy, of Verses sent in by the Rev. Henry Davies, of'rhrogm'virtiMv- sireet, London, were then read by the Rev, Mr, Rees, of Cascob, and met with that attention which every thing coming from a gentleman < 5f Mr. Sfees's literary qualifications will always ensure, and one to whom the Cambrian Societies are so deeply indebted for the^ zeal and indefatigable labour which he has always displayed in their promotion. The Rev. Mr. Price then came forward and addressed the meeting in a strain of the most animating* elo- quence, and said, that another of our Cambrian Olym- piads had at length arrived, and the banner of Ivor Hael once more waved above the Bardic Chair of Siluria. A new scion of the old Bardic tree had been grafted amongst ns— and lie trusted it would long- continue to flourish, and the Cambro- Briton to rejoice under its branches. He observed, that, we should be Ungrateful as a people, if we did not acknowledge the many privileges we enjoy; for while many other nations were involved in tumult and misery, and many less fortunate districts even in the British Islands were menacing- rebellion, anil utterly insensible to any motives except those which united to the most turbu- lent and unsocial habits, the happy natives of the Principality w'ere composing odes for Eisteddfodau, and offering medals for the cultivation of the Harp; and " long may they continue so peacefully em- ployed !" said M r, Price: if not among the causes, these occupations ase at least among the surest evi- dences of internal peace and comparative prosperity — then let th^' Bardi chaiuit their Odes, and the Datgei- niaid sing their Penuillion Hhyine^ atid let the Harpers h a r p t h e i r bu r d i e k : a n d a u t i qii e s t ra i a s ; he would say, earthly happy are the people that are in such circum- stances. Mr. Price then adverted to the benefits resulting from the' establishment of these Institutions in the awakening among the Welsh a spirit of national attachment, which had already operated for good.; for in many towns and districts, in which a short time ago the Welsh residents were in every respect extremely destitute, since the establishment of the Eisteddfodau a better spirit had gone forth : in many of the populous towns of England a concern had been awakened, towards the subjects of the deepest importance; in Birmingham, for instance, and Man- chester, schools had been established for the children of Welsh parents, and congregations had been formed ; in the city of Chester a church had been appropriated to the ancient British language ; in Liverpool, also, a Welsh church . had lately been . determined upon, and was now actually in progress. If no other benefits than these ever resulted from the Eisteddfodau, every well- wisher to his country would be amply repaid for any trouble he may have been at in promoting* them. However, he was happv to observe, that these Institu- tions had many other effects ; they tended to cultivate among* the people a taste for literature. He defended the; Welsh language from the imputation of being a mere jargon ; so far from this being t. he case, he would prove that the Welsh language was to the Welsh peasant- a more cultivated and literary medium of knowledge, than the English was to the Englishman. He did $ ot undervalue the English language; every one to Aj'hom it was accessible must acknowledge its merits ip its improved and cultivated state ; its almost numberless publications were beyond all estimate in point of literary merit. But from some cause or other, these works were far beyond the reach and compre- hension of the common, people. But among the Welsh, it was their great- boast and glory, that while numerous works were- coutinually issuing from the press, the peasantry and labouring classes entirely supported them. Mr. Price then produced a Considerable quan- tity of magazines and monthly publications in the Welsh language, from different parts of the Princi pality, and threw them down in succession upon the floor before the meeting, stating their several titles. Having thus disposed of them, " Shew me," said Mr. Price, standing by his Cambrian literature, c' Shew me another race of men upon the earth among whom the peasantry and labouving classes are the entire patrons of the press." This unanswerable appeal, as might be expected, received the unanimous acknow- ledgment. of the assembly. With such credentials in their hands, he thought the Welsh might now ap- proach their more afSuent countrymen with confidence, as not altogether unworthy of their support, and he hoped lie was not singular in the high gratification he experienced in finding their claims so readily acknow- ledged by thiise to whom they would .^ always wish to look up for counsel and direction • for them the higher classe^ evineed a concern for the welfare of the people by.,. a, u invest- in their engagements, aud a friendly, parnc^ p^ ion in thek* feelings ; it was the means ! of strengthening the bonds of society, aud of brfg- lVteuiHg and rivetting still closer the links of that social chain which it is the interest of every member of the community to preserve entire and uninjured; and he would venture to say, that those who devoted their time and inlluenee to the improvement of their countrymen, even though their labours were bounded by the ; Wye and the Severn, yet were no less entitled to their gratitude than if they had transferred their services to more distant and more splendid scenes. And our ancient language too, limited as it might be in its use, yet if it has been the mean's of forming* as peaceable and as loyal a population as any in the British dominions, it deserved to be encouraged as an instrument of the most valuable services. Mr. Price expatiated at considerable length upon tlie attachment his countrymen felt to, their native tongue— that being the language of their infancy and their youth.. . Every impression of those periods was associated with it", and it was that in which- ihey would wish to hear the ministration of the most serious and important truths. Mr. Blackwell, of Jesus Colicge* O. x- for. d. 1.1 ten canie forward, a gentleman not better known to his country- men as one of the first Welsh composers of the day, than for his general attainments, as a Classic scholar, arid his indefatigable zeal for the cultivation of iiis native language. He said that it was more from a wish to obey the call of his friends, than from an ambition of becoming a public speaker, lie rose to address the meeting*. His inexperience and his want . of preparation were not the only ( nor the least) claims he had to the indulgence of his auditors. . The Welsh language, he said, was. the only medium of religious and useful knowledge to about three fourths of the inhabitants of the • Principality. They knew not, they wished not, to know another. The vernacular tongue of any country cannot be changed in a day ; it. must be the work of years ; among* a thinly- scattered popu- lation, the work becomes almost impracticable. While this is in progress, the people must be left in a state of barbarism; the labour of the instructor is fruitless while he clothes his precepts in a language bis hearers cannot understand. From these very arguments it appears that nothing would tend so much to involve our countrymen in moral darkness, as an attempt to make them forg* et the language of their forefathers.— " Where are those," said he, " who are thus ambi- tious of becoming the traitors of their country. Let them ponder before they determine. Would they wish to shut up our churches and seal our pulpits Until our countrymen could adore their Milker in a foreign tongue? Would tlfey... vvjs. li to place an em- bargo upon the productions of our press, until thai press is taught another language? The friends of Welsh literature are not enemies to the progress ofthe English : no, let the English be, as it ought, to be, fhe language of our commerce and courts of justice, and if the change could be made in a day, let the English be the common language of oiir whole island to morrow. But this is impracticable; and more-, Welshmen will not suffer compulsion ; in the present day they are too sensible of the blessings of instruction to forget its medium. What five hundred years of open hostility could not effect, live hundred more of insinuation cannot accomplish. Let not a generous people be consigned to Gothism, under the problema- tical idea of benefitting their descendants in the'thou- sandth generation."— Mr. B. then alluded to the documents which the eloquent and Rev. Speaker ( Mr. Price) produced, to prove that the press of Wales was in the hands of its peasantry. ' Ibis is a most important fact.. " These," said he, pointing to the forms where the Bards were seated, 4< these are our Literati, and their power over . live public mind is absolute. Their tales are told on every hearth— their songs are echoed by every hill. What if they turned tlie powerful engine, of which they have, the manage- ment, against tbe interests of. their country?" The instrument is iu their bands, but it depends upon the Aristocracy, those to . whom the popular feeling is of most importance, to give, by their patronage and direction, that instrument its proper, tone.; Tliis is the express, the paramount object of the Fisteddfodan.— We are accused of nourishing national vanity. If by national vanity is meant a warm attachment to our cbuntf- y, ti e renown of our ancestors, and the charac- teristics of our race, we are guilty. Does not cverv nation possess this feeling in some degree? What people, from the Chinese down to the Esquimaux, think themselves inferior to their neighbours ? And, as Mr. Price very eloquently observed, " not this nationality the source of patriotism I" I ask, whether our brave countrymen would have fought with such immortal heroism, under a Rodney, a Nelson, or a Wellington, if they thought any" country rivalled their own, or that, any king was so. good as George the Third? The sound of the Pibroch inspires the Scottish Highlander to deeds of glory— he rustles into battle forgetting that he is mortal*. Why shall not the sweet tinkling Harp of Cymru have some effect on her sons, iu binding* them still closer to the hills they trod in their childhood, aud reeal those songs and those traditions w hich were stamped first and deepest upon their memories? Colonel Wood rose, and assured the supporters of the Welsh language., that they need not in the least be apprehensive or feel any alarm regarding* the Aristo- cracy of the country entertaining any hostile feelings towards its cultivation, for such, he asserted, was not the case. He said that so favourable was tlie Govern- ment towards the promoting of education' among- the poor in their colloquial language in every part of the British empire,, that they had sent a Committee to Ireland to make enquiries as to the best mode of carrying it into effect, who had travelled thro. igh the different parts of that country for the express purpose ; and as tfVe views of Government were directed towards teaching* the Irish peasantry the English language, he found iu the Report which he had lately read of that Committee, that the best and only effectual way of getting the. Irish to learn English, was by teaching the. m Irish. The worthy Colonel being himself so nearly connected with the Sister island, feit himself at liberty to say, ' bat when this was first proposed, he could not. help thinking* it rather an Hibernian mode of teaching English, and that the Committee must have consisted entirely of gentlemen of that island; but. it was not so, for he found that the fit'st mail on the list was a Welshman, the distinguished Member for Beaumaris, Mr. Frankland Lewis. The Hon. Colonel sat down amidst tiie applauses ofthe meeting* Sir Charles Morgan rose, and confirmed the state- ment of the worthy Colonel, and said tbat he had presided at the Metropolitan Anniversary, where he had had the honour of meeting* several of the most distinguished of our Nobility, and he found them all quite zealous in favour of the Eisteddfodau. Mr. Archdeacon Davies said he felt himself called upon to corroborate the statement of Col. Wood and Sir Charles Morgan, and that so far from there being any hostile feelings towards the cultivation of the Welsh language among the Aristocracy, that he could inform them from such high authority as our worthy Diocesan himself, that in his chaige ( and the Diocese of St. David's occupied no small portion of the Princi- pality) he would see that as long as a single cottage existed, the inhabitants of which were incapable of receiving instruction in the English. language, care should be taken, that they should be provided wilh such a Pastor as could instruct them in their native tongue. This information of the good Archdeacon received the universal approbation of the assembly. The Rev. Mr. Watkins, of Penoyre, rose, and in his usual eloquent strain, said, that while the general be- nefits of these institutions were asserted, and so uni- versally acknowledged,, there was one in particular which ought not to escape unnoticed, and that was the pleasure and edification communicated by the splendid bursts of oratory which had been elicited that day, and he drew the attention of the assembly in a particular manner to the admirable address which the Rev. Thos. Price, of Crickhowell,. had just delivered. This called Mr., Price again before the meeting, who, in a brilliant reply, stated, that if any thing he had said could at all merit the approbation of that assembly, it could uot be so much from its own intrinsic worth as from the lustre which had been shed around it, by the comments ofthe able gentleman who had honoured it with notice, and with so masterly a hand finished ofi the rude outline, thrown in his way by so unskilful an artist. The Report delivered in by Mr. Walter Davies, Mr. Blackwell, and Mr. Price, was then read by Mr. Black- well, by which it was decided that the Medal for the best Eriglyu on " Yr Haul'" ( Tbe Sun) was awarded to a young ladv, Miss Eunice Jones, of Liverpool, and not being present at the Meeting, Miss Wood, fhe lovely daughter of Col. Wood, was invested with the medal ; the seeond medal upon the same subject was awarded to Thomas Joues, Esq. ( Bardd Cldfl). The author of the. best Cy w. ydd on ii Byddygoliaeth Trafalgar," was declared to be Mr. William kees, of Llausannan, in Denbighshire. In his absence the celebrated Dr. Owen Pug he, was invested with the medal. The author of tlie best Awdl on cc Rhoddiad Ddeddf".( The Giving of the Law), was declared to be Mr. Peter Jones, of Liverpool, who being present was placed by Bardd Nantglyn and Dr. Owen Pughe, in the Bardic Chair of Gwent, having previously been invested by Lady Rodney ; and it gave no small satis- faction, when he was aniiounced as thp, Father of the young lady who gained the Medal upon Yr Haul. The Premium for the best, collection of old Welsh Tunes was awarded to Aneurin Owen, Esq. son of Dr Owen Pughe. The contest for the Silver Harp then took place, which was gained by M r. John Jones, Harper to the Breeonshire Minstrelsy. Society, who acquitted himself with his usual well known talent. He was invested with the Silver Harp by . Lady Rodney, amidst the universal applause of ihe assembly. The second Medal for the Harp was awarded to Mr. Benjamin Jones, of Newtown, in Montgomeryshire. The Datgeiuiaid then were brought on, and afforded considerable amusement hy their singular and original mode of singing* to the harp.— Two Medals were gi ven _ one to Richard Jones, of Denbighshire, and the other to Richard Williams. In the course of the morning two blind Boys, placed by the Breconshire Minstrelsy Society under the tuition of Mr. Jones, were introduced, and played Welsh air together upon Triple Harps, very correctly ( Other blind Harpers likewise offered themselves to the notice of the Society, and solicited the honour of playing before the Eisteddfud. The Cbncert. oil Tuesday evening was brilliantly at- tended, and the whole of the performance went off with the utmost eclat; indeed how could it go other- wise, when the first talent in the kingdom bore a part in it; the. arranger and conductor being Mr. John Parry, t he d ist i ngu'ish'ed editor of the'WeI'Jli Melodies, who to his well earned fame in the musiouTw- orhf, adds the gratitude aiid esteem of his . counti- yUren, for his patriotic exertions as a Welshman. Brahain never sung better ; ( its u Laurel Crowu1' and Blue Bon- nets" were executed in his best possible style,' and his " Alexis,'' wi'tii Lihdley's inimitabie acc. impaliiment on tlie Violoncello, was a most ma< lerly effort. Miss Stephens charmed and delighted the ' audience with every thing she sung, particularly in Old Robin Gray." Her niece, M ins . Johnston,' sung most sweetly. Mr. Rolle, Mr. Collyer, and the. rest y/ the vocalists": acquitted themselves well. Mori'* solo on the Violin' Nicholson's Fantasia on the Flute, and Harper's on the Trumpet, were masterly performances.. The Oratorio at the Church \ yas exceedingly well attended, and the selection was a most excellent one : to name the pieces that were admired were to name nearly the w. hole ; suffice it. to say, that no audience ever was more gratified. Mr. Havfer presided at the Organ, and the whole. was under the direction of Mr. Parry himself, whose vocal and in^ trumenlni perform- ance at the Concert, with that of his son on the Harp, received the unanimous approbation of the company' The Concert on Wednesday nig- ht produced a bum- per, and the whol& ofthe performance was of Ihe verv first order, Urahani Sung the " Blue Bonnets" anil " Scots, wha hae wi Wallace bled," bv desire, in ihe most masterly manner ; and all the performers cserled themselves most success fully. Before they quitted Brecon, they requested Mr. Parry to express their best acknowledgment's to' Mr. Vaughnu, the Secretary for his polite attention to them. The President also requested Mr. Parry lo convey Iiis thanks lo the Professional Ladies and Gentlemen, and to assure them, that they had charmed and delighted every body by their eminent performances during- the Festival. ft is bat due to Sir. Parry to sav, that although he has conducted so many of these Musical Festivals in the Prineipidity with such satisfaction 10 ail who have attended, his services have hitherto been the free aud gratuitous offerings of his patriotism. Lord and Ladv Rodney were supported hy Sir Charles Morgan, the Hon' Mrs. Wilkins, Col. Wood, Lady Caroline Wood, Lord Hereford, Sir (;. Cornewall,, Sir W, De Crespiguv, and a number of persons of distinction. On Thursday the races commenced, and fhe con- course of persons that assembled was immense. The first race v.- as for a free pl. ate of frfty sovereigns en by that excellent friend ( to Brecon, and to Wales jeneral), Sir C. Morgan, Bart.; it was won by Mr. Barrow's Alecto— a very oond race. The seeond, a Sweepstakes of 10 sov. with 20 sov. added, won by Mr. Gauntlett's Comedian; and the third, a Sweep stakes, for half- bred horses-, won by Mr. J. M. Richards'* llabberley . ' I lie day was remarkably tinej and the scene altogether a most ' delightful one. The ball in the evening was hrillinutlv attended. The second day of the races ( Friday') afforded but little sport ; as the 100. guinea cup '( given by tbe inhabitants) was not run for, iu consequence of no horses, except ihree belonging to oiie gsotleuian, being entered : the disappointment was a severe one. A Sweepstakes was won by Mr, Cough's Pavilion, heating Mr. Pell's Counsellor and Mr. Lewis's Muslapha. A Pony race afforded much amusement. The bal| in the evening was extremely well attended. In addition lo the District Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, which has subsisted for twelve years io the Glamorganshire part of the Diocese of Llaudaff, another is about to be formed in aid of Ihe Society for the Propagation of the Gospel'in Foreign Parts. The first meeting of the Society for I'ro- moiiog Christian Knowledge took place in March 1699, and of its five very excellent founders, Sir Humphrey Mack wort b, a Glamorganshire mail, was one. In i?{) l many of its members obtained a charter from King William the Third, hy which ihev were incorporated by Ibe name of " The Society for Ihe Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts," in order more effectnally to carry on the designs of the former Society, toith regard to such colonics beyond Ihe seas as belonged lo England. Tims, though the two societies were divided as to the sphere of their operations, the obj i t of. each was precisely Ibe same. In I? il9, Lending Libraries for the cler- rv, as well as others, were instil uled by the Society, : il Cowbridge, Carmarthen, B ui « or, -. ni. l St. A< apb, oue for each of Ihe four Welsh Dioceses. In the same year new editions of the Welsh Common Prayer Book were widely circulated. Within a century from Ibe above dale, by Ibe efforts and liberality of the Society, 80,000 copies of tbe Welsh Bible havo bcen printed, besides several separate editions of the New Testa- ment and Lil. urgy, anil. a very great variety of devo- tion, il and didactic ' I realises. It must be a gratifying ( ircom- lauce to the members of the District Com- mittee nt COM bridge, and especially to those who have beeu, in- still arc, conucrted with iis management, lo recollect what great advantages have arisen lo the public from this institution ; that since the year 1S1-! above 40,060 copies of Bibles, Testaments, Prayer.

His Majesty's ship Diamond, Lord Napier, Com- mander, arrived at Milford, on Monday se'nnight, having in tow tho ship Francis and Mary, of and from Saint John's ( New Brunswick), " bound to Liverpool, with timber, being dismasted and water, logged. It will be recollected that this is the vess.- l from which the survivors of the crew were taken by his Majesty's ship Blonde, Lord Byron, Commander, ou her homeward passage from the Sandwich Inlands, and tbat she was- fallen iu with by the Diamond, on the 27th June last, and brought into St. Mary's, ouo of the Western Islands, by part of the crew, the Diamond proceeding to Lisbon, with Sir Charles Steward ; she afterwards returned to St. Mary's, and took tbe above- mentioned vessel in tow.

DFATH OF THF. RIGHT HOW. LORD RIBBLES- DJLS.- We are this week under the necessity of announcing the derniseof this Nobleman. He died on the22dof September, at his seat, Gisburne Park, near Skipton, iu Craven, iu tbe 72 1 year of his age. Lord Ribblesdale was born the 22d of March, 1752, and married, L789, Rebecca, daughter of Joseph Fielding, Esq. ofthe kingdom of Ireland, by Eliza- beth, daughterof Christopher Jackson, of the county of Nottingham. By this marriage his Lordship had issue one son, the Hon. Thomas Lister ( now Lord Ribblesdale), born 23d January, 17S0, and two daughters.— The possessions of this noble family upon the borders ofthe river which gives origin to the title, are by descent of extraordinary antiquity, having been acquired about the 6th of Edward II. 1312, by the marriage of John, sou of Sir Thomas l ister, with Isabel, daughter and heiress of John de Bolton; from which Thomas Lister, the present possessor, is tbe 18th in lineal descent. The above Isabel, it is believed, also was descended through the illustrious families of Clare, Gaut, and Itoumare, from the old Saxon E arls ot Mercia; William de Roumare, one of the great Norman Barons, having. after the Conquest, married Lucy, sister and heiress of Edwin, the last Earl., . and thereby possessing, as it is quoted by Sir Wm. Dugdalein his " IVlonasticon," " Cravennam, et Couplandiam, et Allerdale, et Cocker ham j jure her edit ar to.^ Gisburne Park i* remarkable for a herd of wild cattle, descendants of the indigenous breed which once crowded the forests of Lancashire! This species being without horns, differs from those of Lyme, in Cheshire, and Chilling- ham Castle, in Northumberland, where alone the race is preserved in England.

With muttering lips, and withering look, I saw a wizard, o'er his cursed book ; That wizard, with pale face and poring eye, Was call'd 44 POLITICAL ECONOMY ! 1" And still he whisper'd, in the pilot's ear— 44 Steer this way— this way — this way steer!

For this he was brought to trial at the Old Bailey, in the year 1683, and convicted of a constructive treason to depose the reigning King— a crime which he seems never to have contemplated. His Lordship was soon afterwards beheaded in Lincoln's- inn- fiekfs, and died with the dignity and intrepidity for which he had been before so emi- nently distinguished, and as one conscious of a good cause. On the scaffold, he delivered to the Sheriff a written paper, expressing his last sentiments on the Catholic Question, in the following- terms: — 44 I have lived, and now die, in the reformed religion, a true and sincere Protestant, and in the Communion of the Church of England. I wish, with all my soul, all unhappy differences were removed, and that all sincere Protestants would so far consider the danger of Popery, as to lay aside their heats, and agree against the common enemy. For Popery, I look on it as an idolatrous and bloody religion, and therefore thought myself bound in my station to do aU I could against it. And by that I foresaw, I should procure such great enemies to myself, and such powerful ones, that I have been now for some time expecting* the worst. And blessed be God, I fall by the axe, and not by the fiery trial. Yet, whatever apprehensions I had of Popery, I never had a thought of doing any thing against it basely, or inhumanly, but what could well consist with the Christian Religion, and the laws and liberties of this Kingdom. 1 have always loved my country more' than my life. 44 I did believe, and do stilly that Popery is breaking in upon this nation, and that those who advance it, will stop at nothing to carry on their designs.—/ am heartily sorry that so many Pro- testants give their helping hand to it. But I hope God will preserve the Protestant religion and this nation. ( Signed) 44 WILLIAM RUSSELL." Thus fell this distinguished founder of the party of the Whigs. The Revolution followed in about five years afterwards, established on the principles for which he suffered. His attainder was then reversed; and as a national expiation to his kind- red, his aged father was honoured with a ducal coronet— the crown of martyrdom of his patriot son — worn afterwards by the son of that martyr, and from him, through a regular course of succession, it has descended to the present Duke of Bedford, now the head of his family, so remarkable for at once owing their estates, TUB SPOILS OF THE RICH ABBEYS or TAYISTOCK AND WOBURN, to the Reformation; and their honours to the Revolution. Of ALL the noble families of this Kingdom, the people have surely a strong claim upon the House of RUSSELL, to stand fast by the House of HANOVER, on the Catholic Question,; and upon them, and all their kindred and connections, to rally round A PROTESTANT DUKE OF YORK; when, with the same manly and intrepid firmness, he gives utter- ance to the patriotic sentiments of their renowned ancestor, upon the restoration of the Papal Su- premacy. Can THEY, or can any of the pretended and apos- tate Whigs of the present day, who, at all their political and festive meetings, proclaim as their presiding sentiment,— 4> Prosperity to the House of Hanover, and may they never forget the principles that seated them on the Throned Can they, with any regard to consistency, presume t'o censure a Prince of that Royal House, who echoes their own sentiments, by declaring that he has studied them from his earliest youth) that he owes his high station iu the kingdom to a steady adherence to them— and vows to God, he will never forget or forsake them /-— Surely, it would well become all the descendants of the real Whigs, TO REJOICE at the decisive and magnanimous declaration of the illustrious Prince— TO STAND OR FALL BY THE CONSTITUTION— which their ancestors were among the foremost to establish at the 44 Glorious Revolu- tion."* In the following extract, it is Robert Barclay^ Es^- who speaks:— 44 It certainly is of great moment, to find some method to enable country labourers to live more comfortably than they do at present, by placing them in a situation where they may acquire some property, and subsistence when they become old, aud unable to perform bard work, and that they may not he so subjected to the difficulties which they now undergo, in times of scarcity, nor become a burthen upon the parishes where they re- side ; likewise, that they may be enabled to keep cows for the nourishment of their children." The person employed by the Board, and who ex- amined above forty parishes minutely, gives the follow- ing general result:— 44 Seven hundred and fifty- three cottagers have amongst them 1194 cows [ or on an average more than - one ami a half each] not one of them receives any thing from the parish ! even in the present scarcity. The system is as much approved of by the farmers as it is by the poor people themselves. They are declared to be the most hard- working, diligent, sober, and industrious labourers who have land and cows, and a numerous meeting of farmers signed their entire approbation of the system. In the above- mentioned parishes, rates are, on an average, 174d. in the pound; and, but for ex- ceptions of some families who have not land, and of certain cases and expenses foreign to the enquiry, they would not he one- penny in the pound. 44 In nine parishes, where tbe proportion ofthe poor having cow s amounts to rather more than half tho whole, poor- rates are 3£ d. in the pound. 41 In twelve parishes, where the proportion is less than half, but not one- third, poor- rates are 9| d. iu the pound. 44 In ten parishes, where the proportion is something under a fourth, poor- rates are Is. 6d. in the pound. 44 In seven parishes, where the proportion is but nearly one- sixth, poor- rates are 4s. l£ d, in the pound. 44 And in thirteen parishes, where few or none have cows, poor- rates are 5s. lid. in the pound. 44 The poor iu this considerable district being able to infold lliAnicc Ivna vuittiAHt imrieh n « eiv. f! » ! H> P. hV means CATHOLICISM. [ FROM THE ENGLISH GENTLEMAN.] THE COTTAGK SYSTEM. Supposing for a moment that " the Catholic Emancipation Question" should be conccded; and the Constitution of the Country DESTROYED ( as by such concession it would be) ; we ask— is it to stop there?' And what security have we tigainst further claims! In his oath to the POPE, the Roman Catholic Bishop or Priest swears, among other things, that he will not alienate or sell his possessions without the Pope's Counsel"— So help him God, and the Holy Evangelists! We ask theu— Have the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ireland sold or alienated their possessions ? To whom at this moment do ihey consider the sees of Ireland to belong other than to themselves, as vassals to the Church of Rome ? The concession, then, of the Roman Catholic Emancipation Question will not merely consist in the attainment of that object. IT CANNOT STOP THERE. It is utterly impossible that it can stop at the point of such concession.— Its very concession cannot but be the strongest argument iu favour of the dispossession of theProtestant Hierarchy, which human reason and sound argument can bring for- ward. To grant Emancipation ( as it is termed) to the Romans in Ireland, is— what? It is to admit Ihem within the active pale of the Constitution, but the admission will not be complete. It will, at first, be the admission of the laity; and that of its spiritual guides must follow. In truth, the concession of Catholic Emancipation will be— A REVOLUTION. Neither more nor less, concealed under whatever plausible arguments, it is neither more nor less than a— REVOLUTION. But of all other intricacies and inconsistencies • with which this question is surrounded, nothing is more remarkable than the complete change of sides which has taken place between the Whigs and Tories ; and if any fact evidences more strongly than another the perfect contempt with which party spirit or party feeling may be contemplated, it is this tergiversation. Hut for the conveuienee of political differences, the Tories of the present day ought to favour Catholic Emancipation; and the Whigs be ready ( as they once were), to die on the scaftold in defence of Protestant principles; by the profession of which alone, can a KING OP ENGLAND SIR UPON THE THRONE OL HIS ANCESTORS. With what consistency can a Whig then pledge at public celebrations, " The Health ofthe King, and may he never forget the principles by which he is seated on the Throne"— and, be an advocate for Catholic Emancipation ? He must be a traitor to his con- science, and the most Jesuitical of hypocrites! On this question, ( which clearly proves, that in fact, and upon principle, the Tories of the present day, are the real Whigs; and the modern Whigs, Tories,) we extract the following clear statement from the pamphlet ol Sergeant Cross, ou " Papal Supremacy." The presto- change which had taken j lace, was always evident to us; but we had never teen it so clearly and simply exemplified, as by the Learned Sergeant; and if there is popularity and influence in names, and Whig tells best in public estimation, the friends and supporters of the altar mid Ihe throne, may add to their other good qualities, the certainty of being— the very best Whigs in the world. It, however, may be said, that in the age of Popery, the Tories stood up in defence of the altar and the throne ; and that the same principle now actuates-— but that its effect is transferred to a protestant altar, and a protcstant throne. This we believe to be the case. Of what party, then, are the Whigs of the present day ? Can they be of any other denomination than republicans, ashamed of avowing openly their principles? lu writing of the origin ofthe Whigs, as connected with the downfall of Papal Supremacy iu these realms, the Learned Sergeant has the following most interesting remarks :— THE WHIGS. The popular party, with whom these measures originated, acquired, about this time, the denomina- tion of the Wliigs. Their leader in the House of Commons was I. jord Russell, the son of the Earl of Bedford. His friend, Bishop Burnett, has left a full account of the character and conduct of that celebrated patriot. He describes him as a man of g reat candour, and of a general reputation, univers- ally beloved and trusted, of a generous and obliging temper;" and he adds, 44 he had given such proofs of an undaunted courage and unshaken firmness, that I never knew any man have so entire a credit in the nation as he had." The measure of excluding Papists from Parliament being established, but that of exclusion from the Throne having failed, Russell The Board of Agriculture, on occasion of the Scarcity in tbe years 1795 and 1790, made various enquiries into the state of the Labouring Poor; which produced some interesting memoirs on the best means of sup- porting; thein. Among these, one from the Ear! of Winchilaca, on a practice which had been common in Rutlandshire for time immemorial, that of attaching land to collages, to enable the poor to keep cows, was particularly distinguished ; and Queries on the same subject were also satisfactorily answered by the late Lord Brownlow, aud some other Correspondents. In the year 1800, the Secretary of the Board was directed to employ the summer iu examining the effect of a great number of Parliamentary Enclosures, as well in respect Jo the inJcrest of Cottagers, as to those general bent ficial results well known to flow from the measure of inclosing ; and, as il appeared upon that enquiry, that many cottagers were deprived of the benefit of cows, without any necessity for snch deprivation, the Board, in order the better to understand the question^ dispatched a person in 1801, for the express purpose of fully ascertaining it, into the two counties of Rut land and Lincoln-, the report of that journey was one of the most interesting memoirs ever laid before the public, and proved unquestionably the immense ad- vantages resulting from the system, to the landlord, the farmer, the cottager, and the public, A few short extracts will fully support the assertion. Lord Winchilsea thus expresses himself:— 44 I am more ond more confirmed in the opinion I have long had, that nothing is so beneficial, both to the cottagers and to the land- owners, as their having land to be occupied either for the keeping of cows, or as gardens, according to circumstances. 4V By means of these advantages, the labourers and their families live better, and are consequently more fit to endure labour; it makes them more contented, and more attached to their situation ; and it gives them a sort of independence, which makes them set a higher value upon their character.— In the neighbourhood in which I live, men so circumstanced are almost always considered as the most to be depended upon and trusted : the possessing a little property certainly gives a spur to industry; as a proof of this, it has almost always hap- pened to me, that when a labourer has obtained a cow, nnd land sufficient to maintain her, the first thing he has thought of, has been, how he could save money enough to buy another; and I have almost always had applica- tions for more land from those people so circumstanced. There ore several labourers iu my neighbourhood, who have got on in that manner, till they now keep three, and some four cows, and yet are amongst the hardest- working men in the country, and the best labourers. I believe there are from seventy to eighty labourers upon my estate in Rutland., who keep from one to four cows each ; and I have always heard that they are hard- working industrious men; they manage their land well, and always pay their rent, 44 In a village near me, w here there are a great number of labourers who keep cows, the poor's rate is not at this time above sixpence in the pound : the number of inhabitants 335. 44 Some difficulties) may occur, in establishing the custom of labourers keeping cows, in those parts of the country where no such custom has existed : wherever it has, or does exist, it ought bv all means to be en- couraged, and not suffered to fall into disuse, as has been lhe case to a great degree in the Midland Counties. kt Whoever travels through the Midland Counties, and will take the trouble of enquiring, will generally receive for answer, that formerly there were a great many cottagers who kept cows, but that the land is now thrown to the farmers; and if he enquires still further, he will find, that in those parishes the poor's rates have increased in an amazing degree, more than according to the average rise throughout England." Mr. Crutcbley, steward to the Earl of Winchilsea, writes thus t— 44 Wages are certainly not raised by labourers having land. 1 am persuaded they are, in fact, much lowered, if the wages were the same ; as a more industrious set of men are employed in labour, and having more of the comforts of life, they are enabled to work harder than common labourers; by this more work is done for the same wages. 44 The difference between a cottager and a common labourer is so much, that 1 am at a loss for a comparison, except it be that of an opulent farmer to a cottager; and where there ure a number of them iu any parish, the rates will be low. The public must be benefited by them, there being not a yard of waste land upon any of their premises to be found." In a Memoir presented to the Board, Lord Brownlow thus expressed himself:— 44 In many parishes the cottages are very generally let to undertenants by the farmers ; but this is a practice universally rejected on my estates. 44 To the cottager, the contrary system affords the comforts of life; to the parish, it lowers the poor's rates : a man who keeps a cow has seldom been known to be troublesome to a parish ; and to the public it gives an increase of hands, from infancy taught to work by their parents for their advantage." maintain themselves without parish assistance, by means of land and live stock, and to do it at the same time so uch by their industry and sobriety, and consistently ith an honest conduct, clearly marked by the entire approbation of this system by the farmers, 6$ c. their neighbours, is a circumstance which, well considered, does away a multitude of those objections and prejudices which we so often hear in conversation." In the replies to the Circular Letter of 1816, some notes occur upon this practice, of cottagers keeping cows, which it is necessary here to recite. Mr. Gregory, of Harlaxton [ Lincolnshire], says— 44 I have several cottages, with land sufficient to keep two eows annexed to them ; the cottagers who occupy them live comfortably, and are industrious, useful labourers, and appear to be contented with their situation." In the same county, Mr. Barker, steward lo Sir Robert Sheffield, has the remarkable declaration, that there can scarcely be said to be any poor in that country, because they all have cows, by means of which they are in a comfortable state, and are very generally equally sober, honest, and industrious. Mr. Goulton, of the same county, also recommends this system, as productive of much comfort amongst the poor in this period of distress. The Rev. John Gwillim, of the same county:— 44 All that have cows do well, so that we have scarcely a pauper/' The Rev John Shin^ lar, also of the same county:— 44 The poor, though their employment is lessened by the distress of the farmers, have not yet been burthen- some ; and the reason is, their keeping cows." The Rev. Henry Basset, of the same county, reports the state of the poor in his parish to be very comfort- able, as they generally keep one or more cows. The following is the extract of a letter received from Earl Brownlow :— 44 The subject of cottager's cows is one in which I have ever taken a deep interest, and I have invariably continued on my estates the system which my father had established, of attaching land to cottages, to enable the poor to keep cows : I have no hesitation in saying, that very essential benefit has been derived from this practice during the present period of general distress, inasmuch as scarcely any poor family so circumstanced, ( not more„ I should think, than one in twenty at the most,) has become at all burthensome to the parish ; while, ou the other hand, I have reason to believe, that the labouring poor have suffered great distress, and have universally become objects of parochial relief in those places where no system of this sort has been established. 441 cannot help adding, that in a moral point of view, the system of attaching a moderate portion of land to cottages appears to me highly worthy of encouragement; as the poor obtain thus, if I may use the expression, n capital in their labour : they have an incitement, to good conduct, and acquire for the most part habits of decency and industry* which parochial relief has of late years so much tended to eradicate from the minds of the lower orders of the community." THE LATE CATASTROPHE AT OSTEND.— As the details respecting the late melancholy accident have been imperfectly given in the French Journals, I have collected a fe w particulars upon the spot, which 1 think will be found interesting. It would be almost im- possible to describe the consternation which now pre- vails throughout the entire city, as there is scarcely a house that has uot received some injury. Every town in the vicinity partakes of the alarm; and, at Dunkirk, where there is a very extensive magazine, additional precautions have been taken, and the guard doubled. People are flocking iu here from all quarters, and the streets leading to the magazine are almost impassable. It is situate about a quarter of a mile from the citv, aud the length of the building is about 200 feet. The walls are still standing ; but the upper part is dispersed in all directions. The field immediately opposite is nearly filled with the ruins, and the earth has been raised in many parts, so a9 to give the appearance of a recent earthquake. Immense masses of bricks and stones are scattered about, and a large basin has been completely filled up, so that people may now walk over it. The streets w hich ran parallel with the building on the right, and the whole quarter d'Hargras, are levelled with the ground. The inhabitants, whoare principally of the higher class, were glad to escape with their lives. The streets in the immediate vicinity present a curious but melancholy spectacle. In some places, not only are all the panes of glass broken, but the window frames have been blown away. Labourers were employed two or three days in clearing the rub- bish, which has been thrown in ail directions, and for some hours the diligences were obstructed in their progress by the ruins. Tbe number of persons actually killed has'been variously stated ; but from every in- quiry which I have made, it seems that upwards of 20 have perished, and more than 200 have received injury. The police endeavour to keep the facts as secret as possible; and I should not have been able to get admission tp the ruins, had it not been through the introduction of an officer to whom I am known. It is whispered about, that four persons have been appre- hended, on suspicion of being concerned in causing the explosion, and it is generally believed that it did not happen accidentally. It is rather a curious cir- cumstance, that two windmills, which are situated quite close to the southern extremity of the building, have not received the least, injury ; though the church, w hich is in an opposite direction, and at a considerable distance, has sustained a severe shock, aud nearly all the windows are broken. On Tuesday, when the ac- cident occurred, such was the consternation which prevailed, that it was some time before it vvas ascer- tained where it had taken place, and for 20 miles round the same alarm prevailed. I learn that the magazine contained about 1,300b irrels of powder, each weighino' from 50 to 60 pounds, and that the workmen were occupied in weighing it at the time. The damage done cannot be less than £ 20,000; indeed it may be almost said that the city is neatly destroyed. The sbipp'ihg did not sustain any material injury, but a house app opriated to the boatmen was destroyed by a mass of stone, w hich fell upon the roof. Many stones fell in other directions, and wounded a number of per- sons. Six of the infantry on duty near to the Magazine were killed, aud several were much bruised. Much injury has been done by the stones which fell at Sly- kens, Gbistel, Leffringue, and Snalskerke. A sub- sciiption has been set on foot for the unfortunate sufferers, and a considerable sum has been already subscribed. In addition to the disastrous effects caused by the explosion, I am sorry to say, that a species of epidemic fever has manifested itself, and many deaths have taken place during the last week. In almost every house, some member of the family is lying ill. A physician, who has now many patients in charge, tells me, that the fever is attended with violent head- aches and vomiting, and that death ensues in about eight days.

Parry's Third Voyage.] As on the former expeditions, several displays of the Aurora Borealis were observed. We shall give Capt. Parry's description of one of these, which ap- pears to have been extremely curious:— 44 About midnight on the 27th January, this pheno- menon broke out in a single compact mass of brilliant light, situated about a S. E. bearing, and appearing only a short distance above the land. This mass of light, notwithstanding its general continuity, sometimes ap- peared to be evidently composed of numerous pencils of rays, compressed, as it were, laterally into one, its limits both to the right and left being well defined, and nearly vertical. The light, though very bright at all times, varied almost constantly in intensity, and this had the appearance ( not an uncommon one in the Aurora) of being produced by one volume of light overlaying the other, just as we see the darkness and density of smoke, increased by cloud rolling overcloud. Whilst Lieute- nants Sherer arid Ross, and myself, were admiring the extreme beauty of this phenomenon, from tlie observa- tory, we all simultaneously uttered an exclamation of surprise at seeing a bright ray of the Aurora shoot sud- denly downward from the general mass of light, and between us and. the land, which vvas then distant only three thousand yards." Capt. Parry, with some poetical feeling, remarks, that 44 the most attenuated light of the Aurora sen- sibly dimmed the stars, like a thin veil thrown over them." Hesays, that though they frequently listened for any sound proceeding from this phenomenon, they never heard any, nor was it on any occasion attended by the slightest electrical effects. They saw during the winter, particularly in the month of December, a great number of those meteors called 44 falling stars;" they were generally attended by a change of weather. The moon once appeared so curiously distorted by refraction, that if such a phenomenon were witnessed in our climate, people would sup- pose that the world was approaching to its end. The orb seems at first to have looked exactly like a round, flat bottle, with a short neck; we know of nothing like its second shape; but the third precisely resembled the ace of spades, the fourth an ill- formed basin, and the fifth a rabbit couching. It appears to have dwindled by degrees through five other modifications, until at last it set like an opera hat. We must notice another phenomenon, which, we should think, must have exhibited a very beautiful sight:— 44 On the 29th of March, nt 9 30 A. M. an imperfect halo appeared round the sun, with a faint parhelion on each side. On the part of the halo directly over the sun, was seen a segment of an inverted circle, faintly coloured ; and again above this, at the distance of 46 degrees 40 seconds from the sun, was a short segment of another inverted circle, coloured like a brilliant rain- bow. A circle of broad, but faint white light, could he traced completely round the heavens, passing through the sun and parhelia, and parallel to the horizon ; and situated on this circle, at the distance of 114 degrees on each side of the sun, was a large white spot. Minute particles of snow were at this time falling in great abundance." It is remarkable that while the expedition re- mained at Port Bowen, they received no assistance from the barometer as to indications of the weather beforehand. It was observed, that alterations in the mercurial column more frequently accompanied than preceded the visible changes of the weather. tails of the 19th inst contained in my letter of yester day's date, I have now to acquaint you, that the amiable wife of the Chevalier de Bossay, accompanied by her two daughters ( accomplished ladies of about 18 and 19 years of age), were driving in their cabriolet, within half a mile of the arsenal at the moment of the explo- sion, when Madame Bossay was violently struck on the right temple with a large piece of timber, supposed to be part of the ruins of the powder magazine, and killed instantaneously. The noise of the explosion set off the horse, a fine spirited animal, at full speed down the hill of Fermois. Dragging the vehicle against a heap of rubbish by the road side, the two ladies were dashed out with considerable violence, and the footman, who was riding behind, was th rown under the wheels of a diligence passing at the time, by which he had both his legs broken, and was otherwise considerably injured. On the Mademoiselles Bossay being taken up, in the youngest life was found entirely extinct, and the arm of the other was broken in two places, besides being dreadfully bruised, particularly about the head, so as to render her recovery extremely doubtful. On the news of this dreadful occurrence reaching the ears of a young student, who had arrived at Ostend the evening before, from Frankfort, and who was just on the eve of leading to the altar the youngest daughter of this ill- fated family, he immediately rushed into his apartment at his hotel, and blew out his brains with one of his travelling pistols. On his toilet was found the follow- ing, written on the hack of a letter received from his betrothed wife :— 4 I cannot survive this dreadful event ; i go lo meet my Rosahelle iu the realms of bliss. Adieu, adieu, my friends! t cannot live without my adored.' This melancholy circumstance has created the most intense interest throughout the whole of this unfortunate town." OSWESTRY RACES.

Arthur ThellusoB, of a son atid heir. Under the head " of Births," we have announced that the lady of tbe Honourable Arthur Thelluson hag been delivered of a son and heir, at Ribbesford House,' Worcestershire. This circumstance having given to some conversation relative to the extraordinary wil? of Peter Thelluson, the following paiticulars may nog be unacceptable to our readers:— Peter Isaac Thellu- son was a native of Geneva. He settled as a merchant in London, where he acquired by his industry an enor- mous fortune. He died at his seat at Plaistow, Kent, July 21,1797, leaving three sons and three daughters. To his wife and children he left about one hundred thousand pounds. His large estates in Yorkshire, and Ihe residue of his fortune, amounting to upwards of five hundied thousand pounds, he left to trustees to accumulate, and be laid out in the purchase of estates in England, till the male children of his sons and grandsons are dead. This distant period may extend to l'it) years, in which case tbe property will then amount to one hundred and forty millions, and if there should be no lineal descendant, this astouishing property is to go to the use of Ihe country, to tbe benefit of the Sinking Fund, under the direction of Parliament. This extraordinary will was disputed by his surviving family, but it was afK> med by a solemn decree of Chancery ; though afterwards ail Act was passed, by the means of Chancellor Rosslyn, lo pre- vent the recurrence of so extravagant a desire of private accumulation.—' Worcester Journal. 1 1 2 dr 3 dr dr dr CORONATION OF THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS.— The following is an extract of a private letter from Moscow, dated the 5th Sept.:— " Moscow, Sept. 5,1826. " Leaving these commercial matters, let ine tell yon something about the Coronation of the Emperor Nicholas, which was performed with all the pomp and ceremony which custom has established here, on Sunday last, the 3d inst., but the 22d August, of their stile. It took place, according to usage, within the Kremlin, where, unfortunately, the space is too limited to admit of an adequate display, so that, in the procession,, all the persons were huddled together, and the effect was trifling and displeasing. It was far inferior ill splendour to the procession from Westminster Hall, for there was a want here of variety and magnificence, in the dresses of the men, the only brilliant part being in the military uniform of the Generals and the Emperor's Aides- de camp, whose rich embroidered coats, glittering with gold and silver, contrasted oddly with the habit bourgeois, the plain blue or dingy grey, of the Mayors of towns, and chiefs ofthe different trades, " unwashed artificers," who, with long beards, took their place in the procession, to which, by old custom, they were entitled. But, assuredly, by much the most striking part of the whole affair, was the presence of the Grand Duke Constantine, the elder brother, who has renounced his birth- right, and acted her as an attendant, bestowing, instead of receiving, homage. One could not help asking whether it was philosophy or folly that occassioned this relinquish- ment of empire. He walked on the right hand of the Emperor; the other brother, the Grand Duke Michael, being on his left; both of them being a few feet in advance of the canopy, a very gorgeous affair, which was borne over the Emperor's head by his Chamberlains. The Crown was entirely com- posed of diamonds. " None of the Ambassadors joined in the pro- cession, but all of them were present in the Church, which is so small that it could not contain more than 400 or 500 persons. The Duke of Devonshire, who looked remarkably well in his diplomatic dress, was accompanied by Lord Morpeth, Lord W. Russell, Mr. Grosvenor, Mr. Cavendish, Mr. Towushend, aud Sir Alexander Mallet. Several more English were outside the Church as spectators; and, among others, there were pointed out to me Lord W. Montague, Lord Stormout, and the Hon. Mr. Talbot. The day was exceedingly fine, and nothing whatever occurred to lessen, in the slightest degree, the general joy. " In the evening a general illumination took place, and the towers and walls of the Kremlin were wholly covered with lamps, so that all their forms and angles were distinctly seen at an immense distance, and the prodigious blaze of light which played around the domes and minarets, seemed to be a realization of the delightful imaginings— the visionary descriptions— of the tales in the Arabian Nights." Uliocellaacoits $ ntcUtgracr. LUDICROUS CIRCUMSTANCE.— A few days since, as tbe Marquis of Worcester was setting oif from the Plough Hotel, Cheltenham, just as he was about to mount tbe box of his carriage, which somewhat re- sembles a stage- coach, a poor but decent looking woman came up, vociferating, " Coachee, how long will it be before your coach starts? what's the fare lo Gloucester? bad limes, Coachee, take me cheap, will ye?" The Marquis, wilh great good humour, re- quested her to take her seat, and they would talk about the fare when they got there— and she was about to comply with his request, when the servants apprized her of her mistake. THE ROYAL FAMILY OF RUSSIA.— The number of assassinations in the royal family of Russia ex- ceeds any thing iu history. Ivan IV. killed one of his sons, and died in a cloister. Feodor I. did not reign till he immolated Demetrius; the monk Otrepian strangled Feodor II. Wasse sacrificed him in his turn.— Peter the Great deposed his brother Ivan— condemned his son Alexis to death, repudiated his wife, aud massacred eight thousand of the Strelizers. The Empress Elizabeth tore the youtig Ivan ( the legitimate prince) from his cradle, shut him up in a fortress, and caused herself to be proclaimed Empress. Her successor, Peter III. was murdered by his wife, Catherine, whose suc- cessor, Paul, was murdered with the privily of his son, the Emperor Alexander, who recently lost his life, nobody knows how.— Count Segur. SUSPENSION BRIDGE AT THE SOUTH STACK For several years past this romantic spot has been ap- proached by a bridge of net- work, suspended by ropes from Holyhead Island. This fragile structure is, by order ofthe Trinity house, about to be super- seded by a more substantia] one, after the principle of the Menai, and may be truly styled a miniature of that stupendous work. This undertaking ( as were also the rope bridge and the beautiful revolving light on the Stack) is under the direction and super- intendance of Hugh Evans, Esq. the Harbour- master of Holyhead. Friday, the 22d ult. was selected for the ceremony of laying the first stone, and the fair artist who used the trowel and mallet on this occa sion was Miss Isabella Stanley, daughter of Sir John Thomas Stanley, Bart, of Alderley- hall, Cheshire. Lady Stanley, with her family, and several other ladies and gentlemen, were present: the day was remarkably serene, which, with the romantic beauty of the surrounding objects, and the gaiety of the company, rendered the scene peculiarly interesting. After the ceremony, a cold collation, provided by Hugh Evans, Esq. was served up at l is neat little cottage on the island, when several appropriate toasts were drunk; after which, the ladies amused them- selves by taking sketches of the most prominent objects on the surrounding coast; arid about four o'clock, the company, leaving several gratuities for the workmen, separated, evidently gratified by the events of the day. PORTSMOUTH AND ARUNDEL CANAL.— We have sincere satisfaction in being enabled to communicate to those persons who are interested in the success of the Portsmouth and Arundel Canal, the particu lars of a munificent gift offered to the Proprietors by the Patron of the undertaking, the Earl of Egre- mont, being no less than the voluntary surrender to the Company of the whole of his Lordship's shares^ which cost him £ 15,750, his Lordship engaging^ at the same time, for the payment of the debt due from the Company to Government, for which he theretofore gave his guarantee, and abandoning his claim on the Company to its future reimbursements. The sole condition required on the part of his Lord- ship from the Proprietors is, that they shall cause the Canal to be rendered complete and efficient, as originally contemplated.— Hampshire Telegraph. There has been for some time in agitation amongst the influential members of the Episcopal Church of Scotland, a plan of erecting an Episcopal College in this city ( Edinburgh), where a course of study, similar to that pursued in the English universities, will be adopted. At a convocation of the Bishops, which was held here lately, the subject was taken into consideration, and measures, we believe, are now in progress for the establishment of an institu- tion, which cannot fail of diffusing amongst the numerous aud increasing body of Episcopalians in Scotland, more accurate knowledge ofthe principles of the Apostolic church to which they belong.— Edinburgh Observer. ANECDOTE OF MR. JUSTICE GAZELEE.— In his early days this excellent and humane Judge, together with Mr. L. a respectable gentleman, then residing in Holboni, were members of a " Club of Bachelors," who, as they got married, were, as a matter of course, expelled the society. One day, Mr. Gazelee and his friend were conversing upon their future prospects in life, when the latler offered to bet a guinea to a hundred that the former would one day be called to Ihe Bench. Young Gazelee ( then a student) not having the most distant idea of such an event, readily acre pled the guinea from Mr. L. al the same lime agreeing to pay one hundred should Ihe prognostic become reality. Several years before Mr. Gazelee was " called," his friend Mr. L. had been " gathered with his fathers," but remembering bis obligation, he ascertained who were tbe executors to the will of his friend; the result of which was, that he found they were also defunct, and lhat they were succeeded by Mr. Shelton, the Coroner for the City of London, and Clerk of Ihe Arraigns at tbe Old Bailey Sessions. Oil a recent occasion, tlicy being al dinner al the Sessions House, Mr. Justice Gazelee said—" Mr. Shelton, 1 have one hundred guineas to pay into your hands," at the same time detailing how the obligation arose. Years before this communica- tion, Mr. Shelton had finally closed his executorship, but he received the one hundred guineas, and resumed bis labours; and as this unexpected windfall was lo be divided between sixteen relatives of tbe deceased Mr. L. he had not a little trouble, as they were dis- persed iu various parts. A woman has lately lost her life at Carnew, county Wicklow, in consequence of having eaten of boiled roots resembling parsnips, which her children had brought her, and her husband and children ure dangerously ill from the same cause. By far the greatest quantity of mushrooms ever remembered in one season has been brought to Bridgnorth for sale within the last five weeks. It has been a common thing to see from 300 to 400 persons entering the towu with cart, horse, donkey, & c. loads of them, iu one day. Many hundred bushels ofthemhave been solclat from 2s. 6d. to 3B. per bushel.— The growth of mushrooms has also been superabundant in all other parts of the county. Upwards of 120 gentlemen, friends of the Hon. G. Vernon, the successful Candidate for Lichfield, dined in the Town Hall, Newport, on Friday se'nnight, to congratulate that gentleman on his election to Parliament. The viands and wines, which were most excellent, were furnished by Mr. Liddle, of the Lion Inn.— The Hon. Member was supported on his right by W. Lewis, Esq. aud on his left by W. Briscoe, Esq.; J. T. Phillips, Esq. Vice-: President. At another table, W. Lawley, Esq. and Mr. Duncalf presided.— The room was appropriately decorated, and all the company wore pink favours. — The Hon. Gentleman bad previously been escorted into the town in grand procession, with music, streamers, & c.— Similar rejoicings, dinners, & c. took place at Wolverhamptou, Treutiiam, & c. ARCHERY.— On Thursday, the 21si ultimo, the Society of Staffordshire Bowmen, had au extra grand target— the last in the present season. The day was remarkably fine, and a numerous and fashionable party assembled at Sandon early in the mornirrg. The competitors at the Ladies' Target exceeded in number the assemblage on any former occasion, and they displayed a very high degree of gracefulness und skill in shooting. The chief object for competition, was au elegant gold bracelet, presented by Viscountess Anson, which was won by Miss Kice -. Miss E. Wedgwood, Miss M. Wheler, and Miss Dormer, each shot with great excellence and won prizes. The society's golit medal for frhe Captain of Numbers, and the silver medal for the Captain of the Target, were both won by Captain Phillips: the Rev. Mr. Hinde, shot two. arrows into the gold, and lost in numbers, hy a very few hits only. We rejoice to observe Ihe in- creasing taste for archery. As a recreation, it is healthful, social, and inoffensive; and by varying the power of the bow, may be made equally suitable to either sex. To Englishmen, it is peculiarly inter- esting, as having a tendency to revive recollections highly flattering to our national feeling ; for to the Bow we owe much of our national fame. It earned for our fathers their security, and the respect of other nations, and it certainly, though remotely, paved the way for our present greatness. The expedition sent out by Government to survey tbe coast of Africa and that of the island of Mada- gascar, which has just closed its labours, has not failed to accomplish the object which the authors of it had iu view. It has made some important additions to our geographical knowledge, and furnished lhe means of correcting the existing charts in a variety of instances. We have had opportunities of communi- cating to our readers, from time to time, the pl'o- . gress of the Barracouta and [. even, while engaged in the performance of the arduous task, which hail been undertaken by their commanders. VVe, how-, ever, had no opportunity of doing justice tu the adventurers, as we were unacquainted with tbe extent of their labours, and also with that of the mortality to which Ihey were exposed while performing them. We now learn wilh regret, that the loss of life has been very considerable, not fewer than a hundred a- titl thirty five deaths having taken place since ihe ships left England. But this expense of human life has not been incurred for a trilling good. Twenty- four thousand miles of coast, but imperfectly known be- fore, have been carefully viewed. Many parts of it had been very erroneously indicated in the maps, and some of them were not less than two hundred and fifty miles out in latitude and longitude. The labour inseparable from the completion of such a survey of lhat inhospitable coast, was necessarily very severe, but the result is correspondingly gratifying. From the service performed by the Barracouta and Leven, future navigators will sail in those parts with com- parative safety. The vast extent of coast which we have mentioned, is now perfectly known. Every har- bour, every bay, every navigable river, has been dili- gently explored, and correctly laid down in Ibe charts which are the result of this unostentatious, but in- teresting service. The " LIFE OF BONAPARTE," just published in one large volume octavo, is translated from the French of Messrs. Arnault, Panckoucke, anil Count Segur, and is the most important publication of 1826; it is of infinite value to the public, and contains a large stock of information, not to be found in any other work: indeed, till this volume appeared we had nothing like it in any language. Il commences with a very intelligent account of Ihe French Revolution, of its causes, factions, and the principal actors in that scene of blood. It then introduces Napoleon even in his childhood, and accompanies him with great fidelity and labour to his ileath- bed al St. Helena. Mis Italian campaigns are described with peculiar vigour; as arc his undertakings and com. portment in Egypt. There is also a minute and ani- mated account of the measures which be adopted to mount the throne of France, with the coronation of himself and Josephine. Great industry is displayed in the gathering together of anecdotes illustrative of the dispositions of Napoleon, aud characteristic of the many great men who surrounded and defended him. The work does not merely present the figure of the French Emperor; we have all his family, generals, ministers, and opponents, at full length; aud in a word, nothing appears to he omitted, which is, it! any way, calculated to illustrate the work, as a faithful and well digested narrative of the late great events of the Continental War.— See Advertisement.
