DELCROIX cau assert to be a Fact. Such Composition, in Lieu of being beneficial to the Preservation or Growth of the Hair, has a decidedly contrary effect ; Oil of Almonds, in particular, being of a very desicative Mature, and not of a nutritive one ; whereas GENUINE Bear's Grease certainly may be re- garded as one o'f the best Articles for promoting the Growth of the Hair. Therefore, to prevent the Public from fulling 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. DEF. CROIX begs to give n brief inscription 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 of Tinge, and although it is of moderate Consistence, yet it is of an oily and rich Nature.

HAYMAN'SGENUINE ORIGINAL MAREDANT'S ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS have always held the highest Reputation in the Class of Antiscorbutics; insomuch that they have, during Half a Century, been an Article of extensive Com- merce ; the Scorbutic Diseases of all Climates yielding to their alterative Virtues. This Medicine enters ihe Circulation in a deliberative and congenial Manner, blending itself with the Fluids without occasioning the least Excitement injurious to the animal System. The Scurvy, Evil, Leprosy, Piles, Rheumatism, Con- tracted Joints, White Swellings,- Hard Tumours, and Carious Bones, give Way to its Influence. Its Operation is so exceedingly easy, regular and progressive, that the Patient attending to the Directions can never be at a Loss how to manage or proceed ; and from the Exam- ples given wiih each Bottle, the afflicted may judge how far their Diseases vvill yield to its Use. BARCLAY and SONS, Fleet- Market, London, having purchased the original Recipe and entire Property iu this valuable Medicine, do hereby give Notice, that, as a certain Criterion of Authenticity, a Label, with their Name and Address, superadded to the Stamp with the Name of " J.

As a Purifier of the Blood they are unrivalled in their Effects. And their Efficacy has been attested in numberless Instances; many of them on Oath, before the Magistrates of Shrewsbury ; thus establishing their Pre- eminence over the Nostrums of ignorant Quacks, and over the more established Prescriptions iff the Regular faculty. In Cases of FEMALE DEBILITY, TURN OF LIFE, aud any other Affliction of the Body arising from a changed or vitiated System, the PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS may be relied upou for a certain and speedy Cure. N.

L ON L) 0 N — S A 7 U K DAY. THE FRENCH REVENXJF.— The Etoile contains & comparative view ofthe French Revcmre, in the years 1824, 1825, and 182G, during the first nine months of each of those years respectively. The principal sources of Revenue are— The Woods and Forests; the duties on Registration, Stamps, & c.; Public Carriages, & c.; Tobacco duties; Tax on " Letters; Miscellaneous Taxes, & e. On these the augmentation of 1826, compared with 18* 25, is 19,638,000 francs. In the other sources of Revenue ! there is a falling- o. ff of 6,5/ 8, V; 00 IVanes, leaving" a net increase of 13,- 060,000 francs (£ 544,116. 13s. 4d.) The largest . defied occurs in toe Salt Duties and in the Lottery. The increase of Revenue in 1826, compared with 1824, amounts to 23,578,000 francs, very nearly one million sterling. Admitting the increase on the whole year to be in proportion to that of the first nine months, the Revenue of 1H26 will be, in round numbers, £ 700,000 more than in 1825, and £ 1,250,000 more than in 1824. A Common Hall was held iin Thursday, for the purpose of addressing .. Parliament on the subject ot Ihe Corn Laws, and resolutions, claiming the ad- mission of foreign grain, and a reduction of public rxpenses, were therein unanimously agreed to.— The principal speakers were Mr. Favell, Mr, Bowring, and JVlr Orator Hunt. The quantity of Foreign Wheat arrived in the port of London since the 2d of May, and now under lock, Amounts lo about 145,000 quartets, Foreign Badey* under lock, about. 20,000 quarters, Importation; of Oats, finee the 1st of September, when the Order in Council was issued, 130,000 quarters, and the quantity in bond previously amounted' lo 150,000 quarters, making in all of this , description of corn liberated 280,000 quartos. Of Beans 10,0t) 0 quarters, ami of iVase 5, f> 00 quarters, have coinc in under the Order in Council. It is eoiiSdetiih' reported fn high quarters,- that the • Lord Chancellor has determined on retiring. In the Court of King's Bench, on Friday, an action was tried, the Rev J. A. James v. J. Dow ting Jflichards'. Tbe case for the plaintiff the Minister of au Independent Congrcgaliou at Biritiiughatn, was conducted by Mr. Scarlett, who stated that the action was brouybl lo recover from the defendant, the pro- prietor, printer,- and publisher, of the Age Sunday newspaper, compensation in damages for it jury sus- tained hy the plaintiff in consequence of the .. defendant having, in the month of September, 1825, published in ihe said newspaper a false, scandalous, and mali- cious libel of and concernwig the plaintiff. The libel havitig been set forth, evidence was produced to shew that the defendant was sole proprietor of the Aye; that the plaint iff was the person named in Ihe libel; that he was married ; and that be was the. officiating miriisUr of a congregation of Independents Nt Birmingham. Mr. Common Serjeant Denman led the defence, aud submitted that evidence ought to be offered to shew that the chapel in w hieb tbe plaintiff officiated was licensed. This objection was howcvt r overruled by the Lo » d Chief Justice ; and the Learned Counsel,- in continuation, staled, that the defendant was ready to make an ample apology, and to state in liia paper lhat he. had been imposed upon, and though the libel was- not one that he could justify, he did not consider lhat it called for the heavy damages which his learned opponent sought. The Chief Jusiice, in Humming; up, said, that the only question the. jury had to consider was that of damages, and they would fcive such an amount as might appear to them reasonable and just. The Jury, which was special, having consulted together for a few minutes, found a verdict for the plaintiff— damages £ 300. Mr. Gurtrey, after the verdict had been pronounced, said he was instructed to state, lhat his client did not mean to put a shilling of ihe damages into bis pocket. An alteration for the better appears to be taking place in the Wool market: 9^ d. and lOd. per lb. may be readily obtained, and ITd. was giveri on Saturday at Yeovil market. A commission of bankrupt has been issued against Francis Eburne, late of Ryton, who was, a short time since, committed to Warwick gaol, charged • with the wilful murder of his son. Eleven years ago a single steam- boat upon fhe river Mersey was deemed anovelty, and considered, at the best,, but a doubtful speculation. At the present period not less than 47 are employed on • various stations; namely, 15 to Dublin ; 5 to Gree- nock and Isle of Man; 3 to Belfast; 1 to Water- ford; 1 to Cork ; 1 to Carlisle ; 2 fo Beaumaris and Bangor; 1 to Bagillt; 1 to Lancaster; and 17 in various part's of the river and for towing vessels. On Wednesday, Thomas Littlcdalc and George Drink water, Esqrs. were put in nomination to serve the office of Mayor of Liverpool for the year ensuing, when, after a poll of some hours duration, the num- bers were declared to be— for Mr. Littledale 262— for Mr. Drinkwater 225. Mr. Littledale was of course declared duly elected.— John Ewart and Thomas Branckcr, Esqrs. were afterwards elected Bailiffs.

A beautiful Silver Epergne, bearing the Arms of Mr. Boycott, and tiie following Inscription, may now be seen at the shop of Mr. Lewis, silversmith, High- street, in this town, by whom it was furnished: This Piife of Plate was presented To THOMAS BOYCOTT, of Rudge Hall, Esquire, by his Supporters In the Town and Neighbourhood of Shrewsbury, who respect the Principles of Loyalty to fhe King, Attachment to the Constitution of the Country, and Adherence to the Protestant Ascendancyr upon which He offered himself a Candidate For the Representation of the Borough of Shrewsbury, At the General Election in 1826, As a Memorial Of the high Sense they entertain Of lhat Union of Firmness, Courtesy, and Moderation, which distinguished his Conduct dtiringThot arduous Struggle. Any description of this well- merited tribute of the respect and gratitude of fhe mimerons body of Burgesses by whom Mr. Boycott was supported, would convey but au inadequate idea of the taste and elegance. of its design.— The subscription for its purchase was not permitted to exceed one sovereign from each individual : it may therefore be considered as forming an index of public feclirfg, which, in this case, when all circumstances are considered, must be deemed conclusive in favour of Mr. Boycott aud of the Cause on behalf of which fie stood forward.

Intelligence has heen received, this morning, fiom. Lisbon, stating that some fresh insurrectionary move tneuls had taken place ill Portugal, on the part of the enemies of the Constitutional Charter. One regiment iu the Algarves had revolted ; but the other regiments, nnd the militia, remained staunch, and troops were inarching upon the revellers with every prospect of immediately suppressing the insurrection. An at- tempt to produce insurrection in the North of Porto- gal had entirely failed, and the promoters of the nefarious enterprise had fled. The celebrated Actor Talma died at Paris on the morning of the 19th. Mr. Canning had the honour of dining with the King of Prance; au honour, we are told, hitherto conferred only on the Duke of Wellington aud Prince Meltcrnich, the etiquette of the French Court being to admit no person lo such a distinction " below the rank of King or Prince of the Blood."

' The Deputy Record- er, Joseph Eoxdale, F. sq. in his Charge to the Grand Jury, stated that the Calendar contained a greater number of serious charges than htxd pre- viously occurred at one Sessions during! the 40 years that he had held office in that Court.— The crowded appearance of the Hall was more like that of an Assize than a Quarter Sessions. WILLIAM WOOD was convicted of stealing a pair of leggings, of the value of four shillings, the pro. perty of William Morgan, of the parish of St. Chad, and was sentenced to be imprisoned 2 months to hard labour. EDWARD GRIFFITHS was convicted of stealing several dressed hides of leather and a pair of new half- boots, the property of Mr. William Davies, currier.— The prisoner bad broken into the cellar under Mr. Davies's shop in the night of the 17th of Augtfst: he was subsequently apprehended by the vigilance of Farlow, the officer, whose suspicions were excited by hearing tbe creaking of the new boots, which were found in Griffitlis's possession • tire prisoner acknowledged that he had also stolen the leather, and hid it in a stack near Shelton, and there it was afterwards found.— The case was very clearly proved; and the Court sentenced the prisoner to be transported for 7 years.—[ There was another indictment against the prisoner, who is an old offender ] JOSEPH DEAKIN, convicted as an incorrigible rogue and vagabond, collecting charitable , contri- butions under false pretences, was oiMered to be imprisoned until the next Quarter Sessions, and then to be discharged. THOMAS ADAMS was convicted, on very clear testimony, of stealing 4 couple of ducks, from the premises'of Mr. Bowdler, attorney, in the parish of Holy Cross and St. Giles, and was sentenced to be imprisoned to hard labour for 3 months. ANN OLIVER, aged 50, and EMMA OLIVER., aged 20, ( mother and daughter,) were arraigned on an indictment, the former for stealing, and the latter for receiving ( knoyving it to be stolen), a large quantity of linen and apparel, the property of Mr, Jobson, of the Talbot Inn, by whom they had been employed as laundresses.— The prisoners pleaded Guilty to the charge; and Ann Oliver was sentenced to be imprisoned 12 months.— As the Statute directs that receivers of stolen property shall, on conviction, be sentenced to 14 years1 transportation, that sen- tence was passed upon the younger prisoner, with an intimation that application would be made for its mitigation. JAMES ALLSON was convicted ou three several indictments, for stealing a trunk, a coat case, and some wearing apparel; and was sentenced to be transported for 7 years. DOMINIC CARNEY, MARY MORAN, and HENRY CARNEY, were arraigned upon an indictment charging the two former with stealing several pieces of silk handkerchiefs, & c. value £ 8. 10s. the property of Mr. John Phillips, mercer, and the last- named prisoner with unlawfully receiving part of the articles above- mentioned, knowing them to be stolen.— The prisoners are natives of Ireland, and hawkers of goods for sale.— Dominic Carney and Mary Moran ( who had passed a3 man and wife), went to the wholesale shop of Mr. Phillips to buy goods on fhe 5th of August: this shop is separated by a partition only from Mr. Phillips's retail shop, and communicates with it by an open archway, to which there is no door. Tbe prisoners Dominie Carney and Mary Moran purchased goods to the amount of 15s. l| d. which they paid for, and while bargaining for these goods, contrived, under pre- tence of wanting other articles, to send Mr. Lakin ( the shopman) five times into the retail shop to bring them goods to look at, on which occasions the prisoners were left by themselves in the whoie- • ale shop, and they took these opportunities of stealing fhe articles in question. After they had left the shop', the goods were missed, aud suspicion falling upon fhe prisoners, search was made for them; eventually they were found at a public- house in company with the prisoner Henry Carney, and a number of other hawkers.-^- Oiie bnudfe was found in possession of Mary Moran, which con. tained part of the stolen property, and Dominic Carney afterwards repeatedly offered fo pay foi the goods stolen if Mr. Phillips would allow them thus to settle the matter.-— Mr. Phillips, when in the public- bouse, saw a hawker's handle, which Henry Carney said was ' put in bis charge by a man who was to call for it: this bundle was afterwards discovered concealed under some mnslin in Henry Carney's stall near tbe Butter- Market, and on being opened, was found to contain other part of the goods stolen from Mr. Phillips's sbop, together with the articles bought and paid for there by Dominie Carney and Mary Moran. — The prisoners, notwith- standing a chain of evidence, of which the above is an outline, was clearly proved, persisted in their innocence: Henry Carney, in particular, denied all connexion or relation with the other prisoners, and called another Irish hawker, who deposed that he • aw Henry take up the bundle when going from the public- bouse to bis stall, yvhere it was found, and that he lieard Henry Carney say he would rather have his arm cut off than carry the bundle if he ^ I thought it had a pennyworth of dishonest goods in it 1— The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty ; and Dominie Carney and Mary Moran were sentenced to be transported for 7 years, and Henry Carney to be transported for 14 years.— Dominic Carney being very ill, it yvas intimated that application yvould be made for a mitigation of his sentence, as also of that of Henry Carney: Moran will be transported.— There yvas another indictment, for a similar offence, against the prisoners Dominic Carney and Mary Moran. WILLIAM ROBERTSON was found guilty of deal- ing a quantity of wearing apparel from a person with yvhom he had travelled on foot from near Overton to Shrewsbury, and was sentenced to be imprisoned 1 month. JOHN STEVENS, WILLIAM STEVENS, EDWARD STUDLEY, and SAMUEL PIGG, were found guilty of a riot and aggravated assault.— John Stevens yvas bound over in recognizance with surety for hi: good behaviour for 12 months; William Stevens and Edward Studley were sentenced to 3 months' imprisonment, and then to enter into recognizance for their future good behaviour ; the other prisoner did not appear to take his trial. William Roberts and John Griffiths were indicted as the Stewards of a Benefit Society, formed under the Act of 33d Geo. IV. for disobeying an order of the Magistrates directing them and the other Mem- bers of the Society to re- admit William Duckers, a Member of the Society, who, it had beeu made appear to the Magistrates, had beeu improperly expelled from the said Friendly Society.— The case in support of the prosecution was very ably con- ducted by Mr. Eoxdale, and as ingeniously opposed by Mr. Bather, on the part of the defendants, who were, however, found Guilty, fined Is. each, and discharged, upon an undertaking that the prosecu- tor, William Duekers, should have paid to him his full share of the money due to him upon a division of the funds of the Society, which had been dis. solved subsequent to the notice of the Magistrates' Order being served upon the Stewards.

Our supplies fresh in this morning from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, being rather moderate, and fine samples of Wheat hearing but a small proportion, such kind fully supported the prices of this day se'nnight, aud in some instances Is. per quarter more was obtained ; but the middling qualities were nearly unsaleable. The Barley trade is extremely heavy ; for, although fine malting samples were far from being abundant, the maltsters are holding back, the weather being unfavourable for wetting. Beans are Is. per quarter dearer, aud brisk sale at that improvement. The magnitude of the supply of Oats has caused the trade to be extremely dull; still the factors demand the prices of last Monday; but it is evident prices must give way. lu Peas, Flour, and other urticles, there is no alteration.

SIR,— I have ever been an admirer of your impartial Journal — I feel much indebted to you for tbe valuable information communicated to your distant readers, detailing most regularly the pro- gressive improvements, as they arise, in the fa- voured county of my youth; and ill which 1 take a lively interest. Indeed, Sir, I consider Providence to have been profuse in its bounties to my native county, when 1 view the wreck of property in neighbouring districts, plunging immense populations iuto Ti state of poverty and pauperism ; yet I cherish the fond hope, that the time is not far distant, when a brighter prospect will present itself to the eye— gladden the heart — and give oil to the wheels which have received a partial or temporary rust. I am induced to trespass on your columns, Sir, from a knowledge of your reputation, and of the ready access you afford to every subscriber to give vent to his feelings, though they may differ from those of very many of your readers, who stand pre- eminently adorned with every manly virtue.? Many of your correspondents, I am of opinion, have betrayed an angry feeling, and even bigotry, upon that important question— CATHOLIC EMAN- CIPATION : yet, before I proceed farther, allow me to state that a Protestant addresses you, who glories in the name of that Church, and is ready to rally round its standard whensoever it shall be- come endaugered. I freely admit, I am one of those Protestants that apprehend no danger to the Protestant Church by the admittance ofa dozen or even twenty Catholics into the Honso of Peers, consisting of 384 mem- bers; and 1 believe the number over- rated :— nor can I for a moment be so weak as to think double that number in the House of Commons, consisting of 658 members, would be able to overturn the Religion of the State. Indeed, Sir, to my mind, it is the greatest absurdity, if not insult, that can be offered to the Protestant Church, to suppose for one moment its foundation stands on so tottering a base:— it is - wild and visionary. That structure stands upon a rock, cemented togetherupon British hearts, and is, and ever will be, invulnerable in this and after ages. It is a question, Sir, beyond all doubt, not only to Englishmen, but to all Europe, of the greatest importance, and a subject which ought to be approached with calm deliberation as becomes the- wisdom of Senators— divested of all bigotry on the one side, as well as party feeling on the other ; for well might many great and good men pause before voting, when Cabinet Ministers are equally divided on the same important subject — Ministers who vie with each other in improving every Branch of the State, and who are truly deserving the title of MODERATE REFORMERS. 1 am inclined to think, Sir, the great opposition manifested to Catholic Emancipation, and in which your respected and widely- circulated Journal takes a prominent part, proceeds from a Religious feel- ing : and if that was the just method to approach the subject, you would find me join cordially heart and hand. I consider the Question more iu a Political sense; and if you look to the arguments ( both of Whigs and Tories) of the many great Statesmen who have advocated the measure, I shall be borne Out by facts. In a short time the Question will again come under discussion, and I trust for the last time. Whether the Representatives of the people will think Emancipation a measure dictated by pru- dence, I will not hazard an opinion upon ; yet I do hope, from the bottom of my heart, every Member will calmly approach the subject unprejudiced by bigotry or party zeal; and Honestly give bis vote on that side the Question which may prove the most advantageous to our country. I have already trespassed too far on your valu- able Journal, though not farther than the import- ance of the subject demands. If you think my observations worthy a place therein, the insertion will confer an obligation on A CONSTANT READER. London, Oct 23,1826. SMjc liasctan UroDtncea. FOUR GUINEAS REIVARD. W MUCH WENSiOCK.

WARWICK SESSIONS.— Elizabeth Seagrove ai\ d Ann Brotherton were indicted for uttering a coun- terfeit half- crown at Stratford- upon- Avon, and having other counterfeit money in their possession . Seagrove was found guilty and Brotherton acquitted. The former was sentenced to six months' imprison- ment and kept to hard labour, and afterwards to find sureties for her good behaviour for two years. —- Ann Brotherton was afterwards convicted for having in her possession two counterfeit half- sove- reigns, eleven half- crowns, thirty- two shillings, and eighteen sixpences. The coin found upon her Was produced and proved to be counterfeit by Mr, Redfern, who remarked, that the half- sovereigns were made of silver, and had a crack across the face. Of the great numbers that had passed through his hands in Birmingham, he had neVer yet seen a base one but what had that mark on it. Both Mr. Holbech and Mr. Goulburn ( of Counsel for the Mint) desired that this circumstance might be noticed, that the public might be pu£ on their guard, and know how to distinguish them from good ones. The shillings were all from the same die, apparently newly finished,- and never been put into circulation. The Court in passing sentence ob- served, that the prisoner had many times before been convicted of the same offence^ and in conse- quence sentenced her to twelve months' imprison- ment in the House of Correction. John Foxley was charged with having on the 20th of July last, violated and disturbed the re- mains of Jonathan Bedford, who had been buried in St. Bartholomew's ChapeLyard, in the parish of Birmingham. The prisoner,, who is an assistant grave- digger, was seen by a little girl, the servant of the sexton, standing by the grave in which the above body had been interred the day before. As no order for the formation ofa new grave had been received by the sexton, the conduct ofthe prisouer excited suspicion; and on the Churchwardens of the parish having been made acquainted with the circumstance, the grave was examined. The upper part of the lid ofthe coffin was found open, and the head of the deceased much mutilated; the lower jaw fractured, and the whole of the teeth in both jaws extracted. He was sentenced to be imprisoned three calendar months in gaol to hard labour. It is clear from the evidence adduced on the trial, that the object Foxley had in view was not to steal the body, but to extract the teeth, for the purpose of selling them to the dentists. NEW MODE OF RAISING THE WIND The following novel method of imposing upon Coach Proprietors, has been lately practised with some success in this city; and by giving this publicity to it we hope to put that class of persons upon their guard against similar frauds. A parcel, sealed and tied up in a business- like way, and generally directed to a professional firm in a distant part of the kingdom, is taken to a coach- office, and a de- mand of Is. made for its carriage from some neigh- bouring town, in order to its being charged on, and forwarded by a particular coach. No less than four parcels of this description were taken in at one office in this city a few evenings ago; and the same manoeuvre was successfully played off at other places ; but a parcel of a similar description being taken to the Boothall Coach- office, something oc- curred to awaken the suspicions of Mr. Rawlings, the book- keeper. The bearer was accordingly detained, while Mr. R. took the liberty of openiug the parcel, which was found to consist of nothing but a sheet or two of brown paper. The offender was, of course, taken iuto custody; and, upon au examination before the Mayor, at the Tolsey, yesterday, being clearly convicted of the offence, was ordered, under the provisions of the Vagrant Act, to have one month's amusement at the Tread- mill, — Gloucester Journal The Chevaljer Gamba, who has been travelling over Russia, from the Baltic Sea to the frontiers of Persia, from the Sea of Azof to the Wolga, and from the Euxine to, the Caspian j considers the provinces beyond Mount Caucasus to be an admirable position for the establishment of the entrepot of an immense com- merce, ^ Supported in his views by General YcrmOloff and tlie Russian Government j so far back as the 20th of October, 1821, an imperial ukase decreed freedom of commerce for the Russian provinces beyond Mount Caucasus, and offered facilities and favours to all strangers who should be willing to settle there. Thus the ancient route which, under the Emperors of the East, brought to Europe the silks of China, the rich manufactures of India, precious stones, spices, See the route which, for more than two centuries, caused Genoa to overflow with immense riches, was again opened to the commerce of Europe. M. Gamba has recently published a complete de- scription of the countries through which he passed. From that work the following is an extract, which will be read with interest at the present time, from the information it affords of a region rendered more important from having become the seat of hostilities between Persia and Russia :— 44 The population of Georgia, according to its pre- sent limits, is composed of Georgians, Armenians, Tartars, and Persians, and amounts, to about 300,000 persons. " The Georgian is tall, and of a strong constitution ; his features'are generally fine, regular, aud strong; his eyes are black and large; the nose long, and often aquiline, and more resembling the Jewish than the Roman* with the former of whom he is often con- founded'; his gait is haughty, and sometimes even approaching to insolence. Living in a country conti nualiy expOsed 10 invasions, be is obliged to be always on his iruard, either against the Turks, from the. pacbalicks of Kars and Akhaltzikhe, or the Persians crossing the Araxes, or the Tartars and Lesghis descending from the Caucasus. His position has, therefore, rendered him warlike ; but, belonging to a nation far from numerous, and obliged to combat against immense armies, he is more accustomed to skirmishes and ambush, than to regular battles. There is not a people of Asia that furnishes braver or better cavalry. In the Persian armfrs, the Georgians were always accounted the 4 crack division, that on which, the kings of Persia relied the most, and that which genetally secured the victory. Brave, but sometimes rough,— hospitable, yet not affable,— intelligent, but, very ignorant,— the Georgian possesses all the vices and virtues of the soldier. The Georgian princes, accustomed to continual war under thei kings, begin to be tired of their idle and monotonous life; and should ever circumstances oblige the Rus- sians to attack the Mussulmans, Chytes, and Sur- . mjtes, in the centre of their empire iu Asia, it would be easy for that power ( Russia) to raise, in a very short time, a numerous army in Georgia, which, dis-. tinguished by their courage and European tactics, woubijeqhar the best troops of the empire. The people are generally agriculturists or artizans; they kuowgnpthiug of commerce ; and, if they have not the arrogance- of their masters, their tone and manner at - least display a martial humour. The Georgian women are beautiful as their high reputation has painted them;: that regularity of features of which the finest Greek statues have left us the models, a form tall and slender, a white skin, and a gentle look, distinguish the Georgian fair. In continual relation with men accustomed to the life of camps, they have obtained that empire which is always secured by amenity of mind and gaiety of character. " The Armenians are very numerous in Georgia, but the character of the people is entirely different. The Armenian is not so tall, but fatter than the Georgian; his features are as regular, the nose strai^ hter, and the look, more serious. The warlike humour of the latter forms a striking contrast with the pacific disposition, of the former. The Armenian appears thoughtful and submissive; he unites two qualities which would seem incompatible,— the man- ners Of the patriarchs, and the vices attached to the long state of dependence in which he has lived. As in the time of Abraham and Jacob, the first- horn is, after the father, the master and hereditary head of the household ; his younger brothers are subject to him., and his sisters are almost his servants. They are all • full of respect for their father, and rarely sit down in his presence, or eat at his table; they are his mbst- devoted servants, and it is the duty of the first- born of this hospitable people to serve the strangers admit- ted, at his father's table, or to offer them refreshments if they arrive between the hours of meals. 1 had been recommended to an Armenian merchant of Naekehi- van : on my arrival, he came and embraced me as an old acquaintance; he conducted me to the chamber that had been prepared for me, ordered me a bath, had a sheep killed, and invited all his friends to the feast. If we add to this sketch a simplicity of taste, a strict economy and admirable spirit of order, and a thorough knowledge of commerce, we have the fail- side of the Armenians; and perhaps we should not have any contrast to oppose to it if they had been an independent nation, and had always enjoyed tranquil- lity under their own laws; but, like the Jews, tracing their history to the origin of the world, and dispersed like them, for several centuries, through all Asia, they have been ever subject to despotic governments: — iii Turkey, ancient Armenia, and all Persia, they have to obey masters of different religions, who have no other guide than their passions, no other laws than their w ill. Luxury and riches would have tempted their ' tyrants; hence they are thrifty and avaricious: eveii: an accidenial expression, a single indiscretion, mi^ lit cause their ruin ; hence they are taciturn aud dissimulating. Gratitude to a benefactor in disgrace might ' tornp'romise them ; hence they are sometimes ungrateful. Ineligible to places and honours in a Mussulman country, the love of gain has become the spring of all Their actions. The trade of Tiflis and all Georgia is almost entirely in the hands of the Armenians; and every thing tends to prove, that, in a few. years, they will have forgotten or repaired the losses caused by the pillage of TifJis. " The Tartars, who are very numerous in the Russian provinces beyond the Caucasus, furnish com mer. ee with confidential carriers: they hire themselves as shepherds, or conductors of droves of horses; the greater part lead, from inclination, a life half settled and half wandering. At the beginning, of spring, they abandon their villages, to breathe the pure air of the mountains and find pasture for their flocks. They return to their habitations towards the end OfSeptem- ber. Their food is simple, and consists principally of milk and pillau : fermented mare's milk is their Ordinary beverage. The women spin the wool of their flocks; and weave carpets, which are remarkable for the stability of ths colours and the low prices. The Tartars are generally mild, and very submissive to the Russiitn - Government. Living in an open country, they cart never think of becoming subjects of Persia, for vvhicbv indeed, they have an insurmountable aver, srtrn, owing to the difference of worship. " Besides the Georgians, Armenians,- and Tartars, there are in Noucha, Ghendje, Karabagh, Chirvan, and even in Daghestan,- a great number of Persians. Having remained in these countries since their subjec- tion to Russia, and having preserved the character and manners of their origin, the following sketch will apply, generally, to their countrymen:— " The Persian is of a sun burnt colour, rather tall and well made, the face long, the eyes quick and inteliigeryt, he wears his beard generally long and bushy* and his manner is more lively than that of the grave Turk. Were f to draw a parallel between the t wo nations, I would say that the Turk, in his entire resignation to the will of the caliph, has preserved all the courage that fatalism inspires ; he is submissive to a despot, but not degraded. His prejudices and the remembrance of the former glory of his race have preserved in him the martial spirit. He is sometimes cruel and barbarous, but his heart is not closed against gratitude and the nobler sentiments. The Persian, for more than a century, has been accus- tomed to See his country overrun; and, yielding passive obedience to Tartar, Turcoman, or Affghan chiefs, considers himself destined by Providence to slavery & nd » Vppression ; he blushes for the history of the past, iiesistauce has always been in vain. He has witnessed the destruction and pillage of his cities, the massacre of all dear to him: despoiled of his property, condemned to a precarious existence, to preserve il he has had recourse to extreme aud debasing means. This state of things has completely demoralized the people; no reliance is to be placed on their word, nor even on their oath. To- day the Persian swears one thing, to- morrow another; mean towards his superiors, insolent aud cruel to hiss inferiors. Of what avail is his natural intelligence, his extreme facility for acquiring learning and the arts and sciences? These gifts- of nature become a misfortune when he who possesses them has neither principles nOr virtue. " It is with regret that I paint the Persians under such unfavourable colours, and I am anxious to state some splendid exceptions.^ Amougst these,, it is de- ightful for humanity to be able fo cite the hereditary Prince Abbas Mirza, whose noble intentions continu- ally tend to ameliorate the manners and the. condition of the nation he is destined to govern. 1 have painted - the Persians of the towns; the character of the country people is somewhat different. The. Koui'des have not the same manners as the Tartars or the. Turks; but amongst the various tribes who . wander over Persia with their flocks, and notwithstanding the difference of their origin, we constantly find, a character of inde- pendence and love of pillage; and, by way of com- pensa t ion, a grea t respect; for the righ t s of bos pi t ali t y, regular manners, and Sometimes even noble sentiments. " I have already mentioned the arrival of a great number of Armenians in the Russian provinces beyond the Caucasus, but of all the migrations. the most rerivarkable and the most, important in its results was that of ihe Armenian Patriarch, who escaped in 1822, with nearly ajl his - clergy, from the convent of Etchmiadzin, sijuate in Persia, , in the province of Erivau, near; Mount Ararat. To 6ccauni for this extraordinary event, it is necessary to call to mind, that during the war between Turkey and Persia, which lasted nearly three years, the Kourdes, placed On the frontiers, and who ( in the midst of the disorder inseparable from war between barbarous nations) respected neither friends nor enemies, frequently in- sulted the convent of the Armenians, had exacted contributions,, and had even, it is said, killed two of the monks. This was more than sufficient to justify the Armenian Patriarch in seeking an asylum in a nation powerful enough to protect him. Neither Turkey nor Persia saw this step with indifference, as he was the chief and soul of the Armenian nation. He had established5 his residence in a nation which was the object of the implacable hatred of the one, and the terror of both. The Russian general in- chief gave orders to receive him with distinction, and he settled at the convent of Sana in in Somketbie. Since this period, the instances of the Khan of ERIVANF and those of Abbas Mirza himself, have not been able to induce General Yermoloff to consent to the return of the Patriarch. Recently, an ambassador- extraordi- nary came from the Prince again to solicit it, protest- ing that he should be respected, and live in the greatest security. Th'e general replied, haughtily, that he was astonished they should persist in demand- ing his residence in a convent exposed to be pillaged by the Kourdes, against whom the Prince had not been able to protect him and his priests.—• Literary Gazette. The Celebrated Mrs. Abingdon, before she left the stage, became very en- hon- poini, and at one of the fashionable routs laid a wager, that, on her next benefit night, she would play Scrub, in the Beaux Stratagem. The bills announced the singular at- tempt : on the evening of performance the house was crowded in every part, almost to suffocation, and hundreds of persons were unable to procure admis- sion. On the appearance of the female Scrub, the wholeaudience were convulsed with laughter, and every eye- rive. tied on her 5wta?/- clothes, which would have sat easy on the ample rotundity of a Duteh burgomaster. The wager was thus won, and the money paid.

Archbishop nf CasheVs Charge. The following sentiments, delivered ill a late Charge to his Clergy by that enlightened theologian the Archbishop of Cashel, must be warmly ap- plauded by every ftfiber- itiinded Christian, whose understanding is unclouded by the gloomy- visions of fanaticism, aud whose heart is wanned with Christian charity :— " Let me not, however, be understood as affirm- ing,- that no Protestants have narrowed the terms oi' acceptance with God more than reason approves, or than scripture warrants, but simply that the great body of the Clergy in our own Church do not so limit them, as they are limited by their brethren iu the Church of Rome. 1 am aware, that there are some Protestants, ( I wish Ihere were lione among ourselves,) who make religion principally to consist in certain internal persuasions and emotions, of power to convince them that they are the elect of God, aud predestinated to life eternal; in exhibit- ing, upon Calvinistic principles, the full assurance of conversion and regeneration; and in thus demon, strating, what has been termed, the formation of Christ in the sinner's heart. Moral worth, with all, its lovely train of virtues, meekness, peacoableness, benevolence, long- suffering, patience, brotherly love, charity, virtues once so highly esteemed by an apostle himself, is in their conception of little value, unless the possessor of it furnish them with satis- factory proofs of, what they denominate, the work of Grace having been effectually wrought in him; ofhis having felt, deeply felt, the motions of God's spirit within him ; ofhis having amply experienced the raptures of celestial love. If a man be adorned with every amiable quality under heaven, unless he has, what they conceive to be, the unction of the Spirit upon his tongue, as well as upon his heart, unless he can systematically describe the symptoms of a new birth in his soul, they do not hesitate to pronounce him, when living; an unconverted sinner at enmity with . God, and when dead, a worthless branch, east forth to the burning. " Really, my Reverend Brethren, although I am, willing to admit, that many of those who are de- lighted to hear themselves thus talk and dogmatize, are actuated by a sincere zeal for the honour of God, yet I must contemplate it, as a zeal without knowledge. We all know that there is a duty owing to God, as well as to man ; but can we fondly imagine that duty to God, true and substantial piety, must be displayed in the precise mode which we may prescribe ; that the devout feelings of the heart must be framed in conformity with the peculiar systepi of Theology, which ice have embraced ; and that the tongue must be perpetually dwelling upon sensations which are- felt, or which are fancied to be felt, in the secret recesses of the soul according to a plan of theoretical devotion delineated by us ? Why should we not permit others to exercise the same privilege which wo oursel- es enjoy; and to stand fast in that liberty wherewith Christ has made us free ? For if the multitude are taught that they must discard every hope of salvation, Unless they can prove their conversion to something more thau good works and christian virtues; ( would to God that thev were sincerely converted even to these!) unless they can clearly trace out the finger of God in their regeneration, and ascertain the distinct operations of his Holy Spirit upon their minds by signs, which none but the elect can either feel or describe, will they not look back to the communion which Iheir forefathers abandoned with regret, and esteem the refuge of Church infallibility a blessing? " Under whatsoever religious denomination, therefore, we may be classed, where Providenc has been pleased to assign our lot, there let us live together as brethren, and be kindly affeetioned one to another; satisfied that we all are worshippers of the same God, believers in the same Redeemer, aud heirs of the same Salvation. Upon points of faith, where we cannot agree, let us differ in Christian meekness and charity ; neither confining liberality to our ou'n conceptions of right or wrong, nor ex- cluding from salvation all who reject the peculiar creed to which we are attached. Not overwise in our own conceit, let us abhor discord ; be compas- sionate oue towards another, pitiful, and courteous not rendering railing for railing, but contrarywise, blessing; and then we may be assured that the God of peace and love, if we endeavour to believe and to do what he has taught us, never will forsake us in this world, nor disown us in that where knowledge shall be perfected, and where contention shall cease " » " If a poor peasant, 011 the hed of. death, sends for a Protestant minister, and is told by him that h cannot be saved unless he dies iu a slate of grace, which stale is not only one of difliuuit, but even of impossible, acquisition, without superior aid, bestowed upon the Elect alone, can we lie surprised that hi friends around him should he disposed to seek belle consolation for liiin from a priesj. of the Church of Rome? Instances, however, of this sort are, I trust and believe, extremely rare," fiiiscrntan Srfjool gotietj). The following account of a meeting of this Society, held at Ballinasloe last week,,. is extracted from the Dublin Evening Mail:— Balihiasioe, Thursday. " The meeting commenced on Tuesday by pro- posing ( in the usual form) the first resolution; when Mr. Eneas M'Donnell presented himself to the meeting, and was heard for near'Iy- three hours, with the most patient attention, by Lord Otinlo' and ( lie respectable part of a very crowded assem- bly. His speech Was a farrago of eo n: non- plac, e objections to the object of the nieoti.^-. seasoned with much abuse of its promoters. The most perfect order, however, was preserved, and Mr. M'Donnell was replied to in general terms by, Ihe Rev. Mr. Pope, who occupied the meeting for something more than an hour. Mr. Pope was followed by Captain Gordon, of the Royal Navy, a. gentleman to whose exertions in the cause of scriptural education this country is greatly in- debted. This gentleman spoke for two hours and a half; and yesterday Mr. M'Donnell treated the meeting with five hours and twenty minutes. of the most offensive matter. The plan arranged by the oppositionists was, to adjourn the meeting on the first day, when Mr. M'Donnell's speech closed; and a resolution, moved by a Roman Catholic Gentleman, and seconded by the Hon; Gonville French, was offered to the chair for this purpose. It wi^ s, however, treated with the contempt it deserved; that is, it was not noticed, coming from persons who were not members of the Socicty. This manoeuvre having failed, it wsis resolved by the party yesterday, that aa soon as Capt. Gordon closed, Mr. M'Doiniell should wait for Mr. Pope following, and then occupy the meeting until the conclusion of the business. This intention was also defeated by the tact of the other party. Mr. Pope refused to rise, and the meeting was about being adjourned, when Mr. M'Donnell rose, and again obtruded himself until he was no, longer able to articulate ; he then attempted to obtain an ad- journment of the meeting-, With about as much suc- cess as his friends had done on the preceding day. Lord Dunlo plainly told Mr. M'Donnell, that as he had thought proper io introduce new and irrelevant matter, a full opportunity should be afforded for gentlemen on the other side to offer whatever they thought proper in reply, after which the resolu- tions would be put to the decision of the members ofthe Society. . " Shortly after the chair had been taken yester- day, Mr. M'Donnell, accompaniedbyagreat number of priests, entered the room, and when Mr. Pope got up to reply; he declared he would no't suffer the speaker to proceed unless he was allowed to follow, or in other words, unless the meeting should do just as he pleased. In vain the chairman urged that he had occupied the meeting- for upwards of eight hours, by the introduction of topics totally irrelevant to the objects of the society. In vain this intruder was informed that lie had 110 right to speak, not being a member, and that in place of disturbing the meeting he ought to feel greaitly indebted for tile courtesy with which he had been heard. He and his supporters appeared however resolved on accomplishing their object by force, if all other means should fail. After a scene of riot, noise, and confusion that baffles description, the resolution was read by tlie chairman, as Mr. Pope would not be permitted to proceed; and this was carried in deRpite of the yells of the priests and their myrmidons. Lord Duiilo then left the chair, and the Archdeacon of Ardagh was called thereto for the purpose of returning a vote of thanks to the chairman, when the scene that ensued no language can describe. Mr. M'Dounell proposed that the Hon. G. French should take the chair, and the Ca- tholics, with the proposer at their head, were pro- ceeding to carry their motion by force. Some such measure had been apprehended—^ sufficient armed body w; js iu readiness ; but the conduct ofthe mob became so furious tha't it was at length found neces- sary to read the riot act and disperse the meeting* by force. It was truly alarming to see the ladies rushing to the windows of the Market- house, calling for assistance ; and many of them we're taken down by the people from the roof of the shambles. Order having at length been restored, the Archdeacon of Ardagh was again called to the chair, when a most able aud eloquent reply to Mr. M'Donnell was de liVered by Mr. Pope; who~ was loudly cheered throughout by the meeting, many of whom were Roman Catholics; and thus", notwithstanding the efforts made to inflame their minds against their Protestant brethren and benefactors, the priests and their agent have been disappointed. It was evident that the attack was occasioned by the fears entertained of the effect Mr. Pope's final address was likely to make 011 the Roman Catholics present.'' The Dublin Morning Register ot Saturday, 011 the other hand, gives the following account of th « termination of the meeting: — Ballinasloe, Thursday; Oct. 12. " At a late hour on Tuesday evening an adjourn* meat took place till eleven o'clock yesterday, Mr. Gordon not having concluded his reply; but before the chair Was vacated, Mr. M'Donnell insisted ou his right to the, reply, as the mover ofthe amend- ment, aud his right was distinctly recognised by Lord DunlO, and not then disputed by any one.— Yesterday morning Mr. Gordon opened the business and concluded his speech by half- past twelve. Lord Dunlo immediately called 011 Mr. M'Dounell to speak; but that gentleman stated, that he was entitled to the last word, and requested of any other gentleman whose intention it was to speak, then to do so, and Lord Dunlo repeatedly urged the samerequest. After a lapse of several minutes, 110 gentleman having come forward, his Lordship again called on Mr. M'Donuell to reply, aud that gentleman proceeded on the distinct understanding that he was to close the debate. At half- past six o'clock, Mr. M'Donnell concluded one of the most powerful appeals we have witnessed in any as- sembly. Up to this period every thing went off quietly and peaceably. Mr. M'Donuell, upon the question of adjournment till eleven o'clock this day being proposed by a Reverend Gentleman of the establishment, insisted that the debate was closed, and that his amendment should be put from th » chair. The Noble Lord answered, that Mr. M'Donnell having introduced new matters, his opponents were entitled to be heard again. Mr. M'Dounell denied that he had done more than re- ply to their arguments, but he said he woujd bow lo the decision of the chairman. The meeting then . adjournedi " O11 the chair being taken this day, Mr. M'Don- nell observed that he would have a right to reply to the gentlemen who were about to speak. The noble chairman, however, to the astonishment of the Catholics present, denied that gentleman's right to reply, and after a very warm discussion aa to the point of order, the noble chairman, who had heretofore conducted himself with impartiality, put the original resolution in the affirmative from the chair, in the direct violation of the understand- ing of the two previous days, and ofthe established usage of debate, and his Lordship immediately left his seat. Mr. M'Do. nnell then moved that the Hon. G. French should take it, upon which the Police, of whom there was a strong force in the room ( the BaUhiasloe Police being this day reinforced by rarties from several neighbouring stations) com- menced ail attack with drawn swords and fixed bayonets upou the Catholic portion of the meeting, of whom several were knocked down, others wounded, and many serious accidents would have occurred and lives been lost, but for tho inter- ference of one or two well disposed persons. A meeting has been called for Monday next, to take this strange proceeding into consideration, and it is determined, amongst other things, to lay the entire proceedings before his Majesty's Government and J both Houses of Purliamsut." m^ SSS^ e^ SiaSiai L1ILO.

That life is a leaf many sages agree— A season of trial, temptation, and pain ; It shrivels, grows yellow, then drops from the tree, Aud ne'er is united to flourish again. Then why ? O fond mortal, indulge in a dream Of life lengthen'd out to a far distant day ! How lovely soever thy summer may seem, Death, like a cold blast, sweeps tbe landscape awav. There is not a bud en this gay rolling ball, That forms the fair Eden of fashion and pride^ There is not a leaf, nor a sprig on the wall Of folly's gay temple, but shall be destroy'd ; The schemes of ambition, wit, pleasure, and mirth, All perish like leaves on a sap- drained boug. li,.— They fall like an Autumn and cover the earth, Or vanish in ether as silvery dew ! Time's loveliest lustres, like Autumn, shall fade, Yon quivering leaf is a type of their doom ;' Ah ! Jonah, thy gourd by a worm rs decay'd ; Even cradles are rock d in the porch of the tomb.

If even the whole rental of the country were remitted, it would be impossible to return to fhe prices before the war. He was not afraid to declare, that the people of this country must not expect, be the law 011 the subject what it may, that, with our burthens, the price of bread can ever be less than double what it was before fhe war." Again,—" Nothing coutd be more dargerous to the safety and tranquil- lity of the country, than by accustoming it to a regular and extensive importation of corn from abroad, for we might be so situated as to be entirely shut out from any foreign supply." Sentiments of the ' Earl of Liverpool. The circumstances of those petty republics, whose policy it was to admit foreign corn, were totally different from ours— a nation of ten, fifteen, or twenty millions, could not suffer itself to be de- pendant upon foreign supplies for the necessaries of life, without the most palpable impolicy, and the greatest danger.— Speech, March 15,1815. [ Allud- ing to the protection afforded to silks, woollens, cottons, & c. " he begged their Lordships to con- sider what would be thecor. dition of the agricultural interest, if it were to be left without similar encou- ragement'. So totally did he differ front the opinion that commerce ought to be free and unrestrained, that even were an entirely new system to be adopted, he would say that, as far as respected the interest of the corn- grower, and of the navigation of tiie country, some protection ought to be given. Though every other species of industry were left free and unre- strained, these, in his opinion, ought to receive PARTICULAR encouragement, if other countries acted upon the some system."— Ibid. [ Having remarked that, during the war, hemp had been raised to nearly three times its price by our dependence upon foreign powers, he asked, " what would be the consequences if we were dependent in the same way for the neces- sary articles of subsistence upon foreign nations, who might raise their price, or withhold them at pleasure?"— It was a reliance upon our own re- sources, which had falsified the predictions of those wl o, at the close of the American war, had said " that the nun of this country had set never to rise agatn."—" If the bill were rejected, and capital in consequence withdrawn from agriculture, fifty years might be ncccssary to replace us in our present situation." Speaking of the vast number of inclosure bills which had been passed since the year 1792, he said, " Indeed every man's observation, in passing from one part of the country to another, must be sufficient to convince him ofthe greatand favourable change which had taken place in that' respect. Whole districts, and immense tracts of hitherto un. productive land, had beea broken up and tilled " He admitted that, " in many instances, this had been a. forced operation: but what an augmentation had it occasioned of public and individual wealth .'"• Ibid. Again, he added ( speaking of the Corn Bill), " A great and alarming evil might be produced by re- jecting the Bill, and discouraging aud diminishing agriculture, by rendering us dependent on foreign nations for a supply, which they might withhold, or increase the price of, at pleasure." Sentiments of Mr. Robinson. " He did not think there was any thing so radi- cally wrong in the present system of Corn Laws, as to induce an alteration"— Speech, May 8, 1820. [ The Corn Bill was intended, and tie thought calcu- lated, to lower the price of con in the long run, and so reduce the high rents. ( Those, he meant, which had been raised by tbe speculations of landholders on a very high price of grain.}"— March 3, 1815. [ He reminded the House, that this country had proceeded from time immemorial on a- system of restriction; and that " to.; could not depart from it without encountering a frightful revulsion, which it would be dreadful fo combat "— Speech, Feb. 17, 1815. [" The measure he was proposing was founded upon the impossibility that we conld ever have an unlimited supply to make up for those deficiencies, which, if ( he'poorer land's were thrown out of cultivation, must certainly be; created. In such a state of things, he was convinced that the country would be always afflicted with xoant and scarcity. For a time there might be abundance; but, in the long run, we should be reduced to a state of very great war. t and distress, la the first place, suppose that, relying upon the importation of foreign com, and paying for ft at a lower rate, as we might do— suppose the consequence of this, to be, that oar own produce were diminished— suppose, iri this situation of things, a scarcity should occur both abroad andat home— in ( hat case, we could not get foreign com; and we should have to contend with a double deficiency. Therefore, he was of opinion, on the whole, that, not. only our security would be greater, but that the price of corn would he even cheaper by home cultivation, than by depend- ing on foreign countries."— Ibid. [ He then goes on to say, that a thousand circumstances might affect the price of corn; for example, a war. He adverted to the duty, under the payment of which the French had prohibited the export of grain; and observed, that in the case of this duty being raised indefinitely, " the adherence fo a foreign supply would be fatal to the agricultural interest; and with that the manufacturing interest must fall "— Ibid. [ The general result of his reasoning was, that it was quite impossible for us to rely on a foreign importation " If we did, the necessary effect would be, a diminu t'ron of our own produce, which ( i. e. which diminu tion) would become more and more extensive every year, and consequently, call for a greater annual supply from foreign countries. The effect would be exactly as iie had before stated— extraordinary misery and confusion."— Ibid. [" The effect ofthe Corn Bill would be, by exciting competition between the different parts of the empire, to promote a growth of corn; which, if Providence blessed us with favour- able seasons, would amply supply the people of this country, and enableihemto befedatamuch cheaper rate, in the long run, than could be effected by the adoption of any other system!!" yielded before its open profligacy. Its new laws permitted a promiscuous intercourse, and marriages were dissolved on demand. Many of the beasts which roam wild in the woods are bound to their females by more lasting ties than those which the legislature of regenerated France made necessary among the creatures which it governed; and this system predominated in various degrees, for more than twenty years. It was not till after the restora- tion of the Bourbons that it can be said to have ceased ; and even then the marriage bond was, in • very catholic opinion, at least, left incomplete. The law which made marriage a mere civil contract was maintained ; the parties were allowed to per- form or not, as they pleased, the ceremoniesof their respective churches; and the catholic rite, which held it as a sacrament before,, was thus shaken in one of its seven fundamental points. During many years, the ceremony before the municipality alone was practised; and when the churches were re- opened, and religion restored, as was the language of the day, by Buonaparte, a few couples proceeded to the altar— and but a few indeed. We have seen extracts from parish registers between 1800 and 1S14, in which the average o- f these was only oue in seven. Now indeed the clergy of France exhort their flock to have recourse to the church, after the municipality, and, if they never did worse than this, weshould applaud them. A small portion of public opinion, too, helps them a Tittle; but, in all the con- cerns of religion in France, those who will have any thing will have too much; those who will not have too much, will have nothing. Sooner or later the people will demand a reformed creed ; and they will obtain it; but the waters of their baptism will be blood. " Formerly— to speak plainly—- adultery was the vice of the fashionable; it belonged too much to high life to be permitted to inferiors; and the French peasantry were pretty generally supposed to be the fathers of their own children. But, when the blast of equality levelled the mighty, this lordly privilege was invaded ; and the sins of the nobility, torn with their titles from their loins, descended to their vassals. The bond of religion and the dread of law, the awe of superiors and the authority of parents, were laid low, aud every passion prowled without restraint. Marriage was no longer ne- cessary; and those who did go through the cere- mony observed but slightly its injunctions. The most unbridled license prevailed in classes who, before, had no more pretensions to unchastity, than to a coach and six; and the wives of artizans became as faithless as duchesses had ever dared to be. In these ranks of society, we lament to say, depravity is at this moment incredibly profound and common, and we shall conclude the subject by a picture, which, were it not authentic, official, issuing from a ministerial portfolio, we should not dare fo present. Fabulous as it may appear, it is nevertheless a part of the annual report of the minister ofthe home department, on the state ofthe city of Paris. MIGRATION OF SWALLOWS. It ia a fact, which has not been satisfactorily accounted for by ornithologists, that the number of swallows which visit this island are not near so numerous as they formerly were. The little that is satisfactorily known concerning the parts to which they emigrate, and the many statements respecting their annual migration, not only serves to show that something remains to be discovered respecting these interesting visitors, but perhaps prevents us from ascertaining the causes of the decrease in their numbers. In the month of Sep- tember, 1815, great numbers of these birds congre- gated near Rotherham, previous to their departure for a more genial climate. Their appearance was very extraordinary, and attracted much attention. We extract some accounts of this vast assemblage of the feathered race, from an elegantly written little work, published on the occasion, by the Rev. Thomas Blackley, vicar of Rotherham, containing " Observations aud Reflections" on this circum stance: Of all obstacles to improvement, ignorance is the most formidable, because ihe only true secret of assisting ihe poor is, lo make them agents in helter- ng their own condition, and lo supply them, not wilh a temporary stimulus, but wilh a permanent energy. As fast as the standard of intelligence is aised, Ihe poor become more and more able lo cn- iperate in any plan proposed for their advantage, more likely lo listen lo any reasonable suggestion, more able to understand, and therefore more willing pursue il. Hence il follows, I hat when gross ignorance is once removed, and right principles are introduced, a great advantage has been already gained against squalid poverty. Many avenues lo an im- proved condition are opened to one whose faculties are enlarged and exercised ; he sees his own interest more clearly, he pursues it more steadily, he does not sludy immediate gratification at Ihe expense of hitler and late repentance, or mortgage the labour of Ins future life without an adequate return; indigence, therefore, will rarely be found in company with good ed ucat ion."— Sumner.

It might from this be inferred, that hospitals are very numerous and very excel Tent in Paris. They are not so, and private charities contribute little to their support. When the filth and poverty of the Salpetriere and of the Bic^ tre, the two principal receptacles for the starving, are considered, it must be confessed that the luxury of Paris is a sad succedaneum for happiness. Such a picture of depravity, and of its sure attendant, misery, could not be found in any other Christian capital ; yet, in none, is so much gilding so beauti- fully performed. It must be recollected, too, that this picture is not drawn by spleen or envy; nor, on the other hand, by persons who, fearing to retain any national prejudice, overstep the modesty of truth, and becomfe illiberal from excess of liberality It is the ingenuous report of a prefect to his minis- ter, and from him to the public, neither of whom saw the least harm in it, or they would not have published it.'* " Early in the month of September, 1815, that beau- tiful and social tribe of the feathered race began to assemble in the neighbourhood of Rotherham, at the Willow- ground, near the glass- house, preparatory to their migration to a warmer climate, and their num- bers were daily augmented, until they became a vast flock, which no man conld easily number— thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands, and myriads, si great indeed, that tbe spectator would almost have con eluded that the whole of the swallow- race were there collected in one huge host. It was tbeir manner, while there, to rise from the Willows in the morning, a little before six o'clock, when their thick columns literally darkened tbe sky. Their divisions were formed into four, five, aud sometimes into six grand wings, eacl of these filing off' and taking a different route— one east, another west, another south, and so on ; as if riot only to be equally dispersed throughout the country, to provide foot! for their numerous troops, but also to col- iectwith them whateverof their fellows, or straggling parties, might be still left behind. Just before the re- spective columns arose, a few birds might be observed first in motion at different points, darting through their massy- ranks— these appeared like officers giving the word of command. In the evening, about five o'clock, they began to return to tbeir station, and continued coming in from all quarters, until nearly dark. It was jiere that you might see them go through their various aerial evolutions, in many a sportive ring and airy gambol— strengthening their pinions in these playful feats for their long etherial journey; while contentment and cheerfulness reigned in every breast, and was expressed in the evening song by a thousand pleasing twitters from their little throats, as they cut the air and frolicked in the last beams of the setting son, or lightly skimmed the surface of the glassy pool. The notes of those that had already gained the willows sounded like the murmur of a distant waterfall, or the dying roar of the retreating billow on the sea beach. " The verdant enamel of summer had already fiven place to the warm and mellow tints of autumn, and the leaves were now fast falling from their branches, while the naked tops of many of the trees appeared— the golden sheaves were safely lodged in the barns, and the reapers had, for this year, shouted their harvest home—- frosty and misty mornings now succeeded, the certain presages - of the approaching winter. These omens were understood by the swallow as the- TfRite for their march; accordingly, on the morning of the 7th of October, their mighty army broke up its en- campment, debouched from their retreat, and, rising, covered the heavens with their legions ; thence, di- rected by an unerring guide, took their trackless way. On the morning of their going, when they ascended from their temporary abode, they did not, as they had been wont to do, divide into different columns, arid take ; each a different route, bnt went off in one vast body- bearing to tbe south. It is said that they would have gone sooner, but for a contrary wind which had some time prevailed ; that on the day before they took their departure, the wind got round, and the favourable breeze was immediately embraced by them. On the day of their flight, they left behind them about a hun- dred of their companions; whether they were slum- berers in the camp, and so had missed the going of their troops, or whether they were left as the rear- guard, it not easy to ascertain ; they remained, however, till the next morning, when tbe greater part of them mounted on their fleet pinions, to follow, as it should seem, the celestial route of th eir departed legions. After these a few stragglers only remained ; these mi<> lit be sick c? r too young to attempt so great au expedition ; whether this u as the fact or not, they did not remain after the next day. If tbev did not follow their army, yet the dreary appearance of their depopulated camp, anil iheir affection for their kindred, might influence them to attempt it, or to explore a warmer and a safer retreat." Origin of the Mark- lane Corn- Market. J¥ ti0C* Uat « ois0 ItmiUgniee. STATE OF MORALS IN FRANCE. THE CORN LAWS. The ensuing Session of Parliament is expected to be one of great interest. Among the subjects to be brought forward, the proposed revision ofthe Corn Jaws is one of the greatest interest. It may not, therefore, be unacceptable to our agricultural friends to read a brief recapitulation of the recorded sentiments of those Members of the Administration, who are, by some persons, considered to be now in favour of an alteration ofthe Corn Laws. Sentiments of Mr. Huskisson. " He deprecated the dependauce of this country upon foreigners for a supply of corn. Should they withhold it from us, the evil which they ( foreigners) would suffer, would be merely a loss of revenue; but those inflicted upon us might be revolution and tiie subversion of the State."— Speech, May 20, 1820. [ He denied that the importation price would necessarily be the market price. " This proposition was completely contradicted by facts."— Speech, Feb. 28, 1815. [" The object ofthe Corn Bill was to give the consumer a lower price in a given num- ber of years"— Speech, March 3,1815. [" It kept the ports open, and no more could be done for times of scarcity."— Ibid. [" Ireland had, from being within the memory of man au importing country, by our encouragement alone, been made an export- ing country. Would not other countries, so encou- raged, do what Ireland hud done!"— Feb. 23,1815. [' He contended lhat thecapital ofthe agriculturists was so amalgamated with tiie general improvements of the land, in draining, embanking, & c. that it was impossible lo withdraw it, as might be done in commercial speculations.-— The capital, therefore, so invested, would be so much national wealth thrown away — Ibid. [ Not/ ling could be more delusive than fhe opinion that cheap provisions were always a benefit; on the contrary, cheapness, without a demand for labour, was a symptom of distress.— Ibid. [' He maintained that, " unless the Corn Bill were adopted, the people of this country would, ere long, be compelled fo cat foreign bread, and to cat it at a dear price."— March 10, 1815. During the debate on the Corn Bill in 1815, Mr. Huskisson said, " The Noble Lord ( Lord A. Hutnil. tpn) deceived himself, if he thought that things could return to what they were before the war. This was one of the most dangerous errors that could be entertained. It was impossible for the country to return, to the prices before the war. Previous to the. war,. in a farm of a moderate extent, the farmer considered himself requited if he made three rents from it, Rut it was necessary in the The Quarterly Review, just published, gives a frightful picture of the present state of morals in France, as compared with those of other countries. We subjoin one or two extracts: " It would be difficult ( says the Reviewer) to re- fine upon the principles of depravity with more ability than the French have done; and, whenever their mettle is not raised by our assertion of purer morality, there is nosubjcct which elates them more than the superior elegance of their corruption. ' Perhaps,' say they sometimes, < perhaps we limy be as vicious as the English, but then we are bad more graceful*;/;' and a few instances of very un- graceful vice indeed in some of our fair country- women, have confirmed this opinion. Bnt a thing which the French have hardly seen at all, or ever can see, is the interior of au English family in the middling ranks of society; in that numerous class which is Ihe broad and solid basis of English worth and English prosperity. There they might behold — though, perhaps, they might not comprehend— woman in all her glory ; not a doll to carry silks and jewels, a puppet to be dangled by coxcomb children, an idol for profane adoration ; reverenced to- day, discarded to- morrow ; always justled out ol the true place which nature and society would assign her, by sensuality or by contempt; admired, but uot re- spected; desired, bnt not esteemed; ruling by fashion, but not by affection ; imparting her weak, ness, not her constancy, to the sex which she should exalt; fie source and the mirror of vanity. They would see her as a wife partaking the cares, and cheering- tbe anxiety of a husband; dividing bis labours by her domestic diligence, spreading cheer- fulness around her; for bis sake sharing in the decent refinements of the world, without being vain of them; placing all her pride, all her joy, all her happiness, in the merited approbation ofthe man she honours. As a mother, they would find her the affectionate, the ardent instructress of the children she had tended from her infancy; training them up to thought aud virtue, to meditation aud benevolence, addressing them as rational beings, and preparing them to be men and women in their turn. " Our morals, male, and female, are chastened by one general cause— a cause of which, even while the French confess its existence, they deny the effect. We are too busy a people to be vicious. We have other matters to settle; and better is it for us to be condemned to labour for our country's good than to luxuriate in olives, wines, and vicep. " Over Ihe former morals of France a revolution swept with all its blasting virulence. The portion of virtue which it had to destroy did not consume much of its strength; the refinements of vice soon Mr. Harriott, formerly of Brooms Hills, in Roch- ford Hundred, in his entertaining history of his Struggles through Life, gives the following account of the origin of Mark- lane Corn- market: — About fourscore years back, ( now upwards of a century) corn- factors, mealmen, and middle- men, as now designated, and well understood, were then unknown. My grandfather was then a baker of some repute in the city, and it was from my father and his two brothers 1 learned the following history ofthe commencement of corn- factoring, and thence the other two. At that time, when the consumption of corn was small compared to what it now is in the metropolis, there was no description of people that stood between the grower of corn and the baker. The farmer brought his samples up to town; and taking thern to Bear quay, near the Custom house, met the bakers, who were the principal buyers of bread- corn, and there made their bargains with each other. It is unnecessary to detail concerning other grain, which was sold in the same direct man- ner to the other purchasers; and it is thence that the present corn- market, in Mark- lane, is still called Bear- quay market. The farmers, according to cir- cumstances and situation, put up at different inns, & c. when they came to town : the Green Dragon and Bull Inns, in Bishopsgate- street, were two among others to which the farmers resorted. The landlords of these two inns, ill particular, were men in good esteem, and by habit became well acquainted with the quality and value of corn; insomuch, that the farmers, who used their houses, would request of them, at times when they had not sold, to take the samples to the Bear- quay on the following market day, and sell for them, paying afterwards for their trouble, & e. The farmer found lhat this made a con- siderable saving to him, ill preference lo staying in town until the next market day or making another journey. At length, the farmer, finding that the innkeeper sold tiie corn as well as he could, aud confiding in his host, thought he might frequently save his own time, as well as the expense of the journey, by sending the samples to the innkeeper to do the best for him, agreeing to give an allowance of 3d. a quarter for the innkeeper's commission. This was the beginning of corn- factors, Mr. J. and Mr. S were the two first, there was a third, who began nearly at the same time, whose name I do not recollect. As this mode proved mutually advantageous, the factoring business increased, and it was not long before these gentlemen found that a leeeping of an inn was but a secondary consideration; and, as men of discernment, they quitted it to devote^ their time entirely to factoring. The son of Mr. S had been bound apprentice to my grandfather, as a baker; lie wanted a year or more to serve of his time, when his father required his assistance in the corn- factoring line. That point was easily settled, and he exchanged a business on the decline for a new and more advantageous employ, in which he succeeded with high exemplary credit. The build- ing of the present corn- market is just within mine own remembrance, and shows how rapidly the numbers and business of corn- factors must have then increased. The meal and middle- men followed : and now the poor baker, who ranked next to the farmer, purchased his corn and sent it to the miller to be ground ( who then considered himself obliged to the t aker for employing him), is the last upon the list from the grower of corn, through the factor, the miller, the meal- men, and middle- men, until he bakes and delivers it to the consumer." IRON TRADE.— At the Staffordshire and Shrop- shire Quarterly Meetings last week, iron was advanced £ 1 per Ion. There is a considerable number of orders on hand at the larger works, aud the demand on Ihe whole, is materially improved. Besides the undoubted gradual revival of trade, there is another cause for Ihe rise of the prices of Ihe present quarter, in Ihe diminished supply consequent on the late lamentable failures and panic— oue third of the furnaces in the kingdom having been " blown out or ceased to work. A general impression prevailed al the meetings lhat prices would be fully maintained, if not farther advanced. No alteration in the price of coals has been made, but, with the improvement in ihe iron trade, the demand and prices must alto advance. The Iron trade of Scotland has much revived, pig iron, No. 1, having advanced 10s. per ton, Ihe price now being £ 7. The hardware trades are slowly but decidedly recovering from their late depression, and considerable exporlations have taken place lo France and America. On Ihe whole, Ibe trade of the midland counties is reviving, a fact which the steady tonnages on the canals place beyond doubt. Le Gendre Nicholas Starkie, Esq. M. P. of Huntroyd, in the county of Lancaster, who was re- turned one of Ihe member* of Parliament, for Ponte- fracl, in Ihis county, at llie last election, is lo move Ibe address to bis Majesty upon Ihe opening of the next session of Parliament.— Leeds Intelligencer. The case of the Roman Catholic forty- shilling fr holders, which excites at present so much angry discussion, is mis- stated in Ireland, and misunderstood iu Ihis country. The siruggle is not between the poor, ragged, shoeless peasantry and their landlords but between the latter and Ihe Priests. Both parties consider those ill- fated freeholders as little better than the football of their ambition, aud so Ibey are sure to come in for all the kicks, whatever side may obtain the honours of the game. It is quite ridiculous lo laik of voting for conscicnce sake, on either side, as long as landlords ran levy a distress, or Priests thun der forth on excommunication. These are the tern poral weapons 011 Ihe one side, aud the spiritual terrors 011 the other, and between both the Irish peasant is left only ihe delightful option of resolvin lo be ruined in this World, or damned in that to come, Sancho Panza, in all his ludicrous misfortunes, was never placed by Ihe grotesque genius of evil that pursued him in so embarrassing a predicament. The Roman Catholic orators talk a great deal of ihi " glorious triumphs of freedom'' in those elections which the customary influence of the landlords was broken down, bnt it is difficult lo discover, 011 rational principle, how the freedom of election is pro moted by coercion having changed hands. Ho tbe peasant more a free agent when he votes to aver Ihe denunciation of a churchman, than if be exercises bis" franchise" so as 10 conciliate the lord of the soil. Rot have the Priests really exercised Ihis ambitions influence in Ireland, or is il but a " weak invention lhe enemy" lo prejudice what is called Ibe " CathoL. question ?" It is not 011 the assertion of Proteslauts lhat we lake the fact, Ihe Priests themselves haw boasted of il, and their panegyrists in the Association have described their political labours in language such as would appear bombastic in poets talking " GODS" condescending to mix in Ihe combats mankind. Now, if the Roman Catholic orators had anv idea of what the word " freedom" really means thev would be silent about anv triumph which a Priesthood could obtain by working 011 the fears of an ignorant peasantry. We see what the denunciation of the Priesthood has done for those naturally fine and productive countries, Spain and Italy. If the Irish peasantry must be slaves, we would much rather see them in a slate of subjection lo tbeir landlords, who can give them some comforts in return, than exhibit- ing Ihe mockery of freedom, while dragged along in Ihe grasp of priestly power. Men who arrogate to themselves that attribute of the Godhead— of absolv- ing from sill or not, as they please, must exercise a tremendous influence over those who believe in their mission, and when that influence ceases to be merely spiritual, and is directed to political objects, there is a despotic agency at work, more competent than any other whatever, to subvert the free exercise of reason and establish a perfect slavery of heart and miiul. ' CIRCUITOUS CONVEYANCE OF LETTERS.— An invalid at Chepstow, wishing to consult her Physician, resident al Monmouth, ou a new symptom of her case, writes to him by post. The direct distance from Chepstow to Monmouth, by the beautiful new road under Wyndcliff, is sixteen miles; but as there is no direct post, Ihe leller is forwarded from Chepstow lo Bristol, which is 15 miles, from Bristol lo Gloucester 34, and from Gloucester lo Monmouth 26, making together 75 miles ; and after Ihree days, the sick lady may receive her prescription, by the same circuitous route, completing the journey of 150 miles, instead of 32. This could not be worse if the inhabitants of Monmouthshire continued to travel in ditches, instead of roads, as they formerly did, cording to the evidence given to Ihe House of Com mons by Valentine Morris, Esq. the owner of ihe cele bra led Piercefield Estate. Lord Ravensworth has presented his son, the Hon Henry Thomas Liddell, M. P. with Ihe beautiful estate of Eslington, worth, we believe, about £ 9000 a year. — Tyne Mercury. A greater number of petitions against the returns of Members to serve in Ihe Parliament are expected to be presented to tile House of Commons afler it meeting, than at any period for the last forty years, alter a General Election. We have received New South Wales papers to tbe lllh of June. Tbe cultivation of sugar appears to make a rapid progress in tbe colony.— Two vessels laden wilh sugars of the new crop, were about to sail for England. The other improvements of the settle ment appear still in progress. A Chamber of Com merce is about to be established ; an Exchange Room tor news and for Ihe insurance of ships : a new company for the purpose of extending Ihe whale fisheries. These papers state lhat the crime of perjury lias become so common, that the names of a persons convicted are now to be published, and held forth daily lo public view.— In mentioning the im. provements of these distant colonies, we should notice the advance in politeness. The Van Diernau Laud papers state that the female convicts lately landed, are " quite of a superior class of society," and pass many ^ 110 doubt just !) compliments ou llieir personal appearance aud accomplishments. THE SEXTON.— I have frequently observed that sextons generally possess good memories, 1101 only of persons, but also of tilings aud circumstances. 1 do not mean lo insist that their occupation confers this quality— but that it affords inducement towards it there can be no doubt, and this in their situation is an ample source of cheerfulness. To the sexton death is so familiar— he frequently overleaps its phy sical effects in his couiemplatious. He goes with you from this grave to that— for every grave he hath an anecdote:— aud if its tenant ever uttered a jest, the rogue remembers it, and repeats il, with as much glee as if it had been Ihe child of his own fancy, when in truth it has been only a foundling and nurse child. He is a great relater of incidents, aud there- fore generally prattles— and your prattle is a glorious provocative to one kind of cheerfulness. In his mind, he dead and the living may be said to be both living; he is Ihe master of the ceremonies— the major- domo, and introduces them to social intercourse; and, what more, he equalizes all. Your living peer and your dead peasant have a sympathy through his gossip; anil the proud peer listens with real interest to the history of the departed peasant, whom in life he ould have passed by unheeded. Cau there he a ndlier office, or a more cheering and cheerful one, than lhat of such a go- between? How important he conducts you through Ihe labyrinths of his territory; he is Ihe repository of Ihe secrets of Ihe dead, as lo here they have hid themselves, except when the oaten unions tomb- stone blabs the secret. He attends you ith as much ceremony as a connoisseur would assume 11 conducting you through the rarities of his gallery or museum. No one knows half so much as he docs; he smiles at his conscious knowledge of tbe informa tion you wish to obtain— he smiles more ( at your ig- norance or his triumph) when he has satisfied your interrogations— but oh what a smile is the last, when your half crown tickles his hard palm; for then he dreams of the warm chimney- corner, and the foaming cup, aud anon, drinks live fathom deep, in his chosen potation, lo the health of curious stranger and inquisitive stragglers.— Monthly Magazine. To form a comprehension of the work of nature,, we must observe it iu those countries where th£ ground, abandoned to its natural productions, ha^ not yet been turned up by the hand of man. Wherever this has established its power, it has sub- jected to his empire all that might contribute to hiir well- being, or embellish his abode; the animate have become slaves ; rich harvests and vast meadows5 have replaced the wildernesses erf nature; ancient' forests have fallen under the axe, and the ground despoiled of its original productions, no longer pre- sents to the eye ofthe observer uncultivated nature, but a vast garden, created by human industry. The tree of the mountains has descended into the plains, and the exotic plant, more useful or more agreeable, has chased from its native soil the plant which is noxious, 01- of 110 utility to man. It is, therefore, only at a distance from great societies, in foreign countries, in lands untouched by man, that vegeta- tion can be studied in its natural state, understood in its modifications, developement, and progress. There still, however, exist countries in Europe, which the power of man has not entirely subjected ; but it is only among the proud rocks, and npon the summits ofthe Alps, that they are to be looked for. There mountains piled upon mountains, rising above the clouds, form so many gardens, each furnished w ith a vegetation of its own, the character of which changes at each degree of elevation. There, in proportion as we rise, we find succeeding each other the temperatures of various climates, from that of the poles, as well as several of the vegetables peculiar to each of these climates. I11 North America, and principally in the vicinity of the sea, there are towns entirely built 011 a moist soil ; aud yet they never there have to complain of Ihe damp of their apartments. The following is the method used to avoid this inconvenience. When Ihe foundations are raised a foot or two above Ihe level of he ground, the walls are covered wilh sheet lead of the same breadth, aud Ihe building is continued upon Ihe lead. It often happens that at the eud of some years, the foundations require repairs, because the moisture more or less destroys them, especially when the stone used in them is not of a nature to resist it effects, but this destructive filtration does not lake place above the sheets of lead, and the parts of the building which they separate from the foundations experience continually 33 much dryness as cau desired .— Repertory. At a night review of the miners of Schemnitz, by two of the Archdukes of Austria, Ihe whole appeared clad in their working dresses, bearing all their im- plements, and each person having in his hand the lamp with which he descends into the mine. By an ingeniousand well. contrived movement of the whole corps, when the archdukes came to view them from the balcony of the director's house, they were so arranged that their lamps, as they stood, exhibited the initials A. R. in illuminated letters, covering, in an instant, the whole square. An epidemic disorder has been raging for the last three weeks at Dunkirk, and serious alarm is excited at its progress. It has extended to several villages within twenty miles of the town. The principal cause seems to have arisen from the late excessive drought; the waters in the neighbourhood are all becoming stagnant, and such an accumulation of foul water has taken place in the port, that a dread- ful miasma has been propagated through the town; indeed, the very air seems to have become putrid. " MUSIC HATH CHARMS," & C.— Tartini relate?, lhat in the year 1714 be heard, in the Opera at An. cona, a piece of Recitative, that consisted of one line only, and, without any other accompaniment llian lhat of the bass, which had an amazing affect, not only on the professors of Ihe art, but on all the spec- tators.—" It was," says he, " at the beginning of the third act. At each representation a profound silence in Ihe whole audience declared the approach of this terrible period. Tliteir visages turned pale— a shiver- ing came over them— they regarded each other with a look of dreadful astonishment, for there were neither tears nor groans. 1 well remember it was a menacing and tremendous expression, that oppressed the mind, seized the heart, and froze the blood." BANKRUPTS, OCT. 17.— John Isaac Holbird, of Beech- street, Barbican, boot- maker.— Gerard John De Witte, of Bromplon- row, Knightsbridge, dealer.— David Hodges, of Liverpool, Lancashire, silk- mercer. — William " Hill Stamp and William Nicholson, of Norway- wharf, Millbank- str'eet, Westminster, timber- merchants.— John Potter, of Salford, Lancashire, flour- dealer.— William Robinson, of Salford, Lanca- shire, victualler.— Joseph Ashton and Samuel Ashton, of Stockport, cotton- spinners.— William Rose, sen. of Spilshy, Lincolnshire, shopkeeper.- Christopher Martin, of Merthyr Tydvil, Glamorganshire, grocer. INSOLVENTS.— John Wray, of Wood- street, Cheap- side, silk- warehouseman.— Colin M'Donald, of Liver- pool, surgeon.— waiter Gwatkin, of Chepstow, Mon- mouthshire, builder.— William Thomas Dainton, of Piccadilly, furnishing. ironmonger.— Henry Gardiner, of Paradise- street, Rotherithe, cabinet- maker. At the foot of these mountains, and in the lower vallics, vegetate the plants ofthe plains, and a part of those of the southern countries of Europe. Forests of oak occupy the first platform ; they rise, but not without losing a proportional degree of their strength and beauty, to a height of about eight hundred toises, the extreme limit of their habitation. The beech shows itself equally, but the oak has ceased to grow more than a hundred fathoms beneath the highest limit of this plant. In the zone which succeeds, those trees, more exposed to the im- petuosity of the winds, would present too much scope for their action, in the large cyme and broad leaves which they possess. The pine, the yew, the fir, furnished with a finely divided foliage, raise securely towards the regions of perpetual snow their robust and branchless trunks. The action of the winds 110 longer meeting the same resistance, i » divided, and loses its force among their short and slender leaves. These trees do not, however, attain a greater elevation than a thousand toises; above this, woods of Crataegus and birch, and tufts of hazel and willow, among which the rhododendrons flourish, brave the cold aud the tempests, to the height of 1,200 toises. Beyond this appear, but with a much lower stature, a multitude of beautiful and elegant shrubs, daphnes, passerina-, globularice, creeping willows, and some ligneous cistuses. Farther on, to the region of snow, scarcely any more woody vegetables are found, if we except some dwarf birches, some stunted willows, scarcely few inches long. A short, beautiful, and tufted sward springs every summer from beneath the snowy mountains, and is covered with a multitude of pretty little flowers with rosaceous petals, naked peduncles, and vivacious roots; this is the peculiar place ofthe numerous saxifrages, elegant primulse, gentians, ranunculi, and a profusion of other dimi- nutive plants. Thefrightful nakedness of the poles reigns upon the summits of these mouutains, loaded with perpetual ice; if there still remain some traces of vegetation, they only exist in a few lichens, which here, as elsewhere, endeavour, but in vain, to lay the foundations of vegetation. Thus the traveller, having arrived at these moun- tains, at the region of ice, has experienced, in the course of a few hours, the different degrees of temperature which reign in each climate from the tropics to the poles; he may have observed a por- tion of the plants which grow from about the 45th degree of latitude to the 70th, that is to say, along meridian of 800 leagues, a phenomenon which exists in all high mountains, of both the old and the new continent, with some modifications peculiar to the localities. The observations made by M. Humboldt, 111 tha equinoctial regions, and upon the highest mountains of our globe, furnish us with a proof of this. The same order occurs there in the gradation of species, but only shove the height of 500 toises. The species, to be sure, are not the same as in Europe, but they have the same character of aspect, size, and consistence. The burning zone which occupies the lower space from the level of the sea to this height, enjoying a temperature unknown to Europe, is inhabited by vegetables peculiar to this climate; this, as we have seen above, is the country of palms, bananas, amomums, tree fens, & c. It is only, there fore, at the height of 500 toises, that, upon the mountains of the torrid zone, the climate commences • which corresponds to the base ofthe Alps, proceed- ing from the level of the sea, and it can only be here that the zone of plants corresponding to those of Europe can commence. Such is the spectacle of vegetation, always vari, ed, and incessantly renewed, that presents itself to the view of man; a spectacle rich in its composition, admirable in its contrasts, sublime in its harmony, and which, to produce it, has only required of nature to submit the forms to the influence of dif- ferent temperatures,— of temperatures, I repeat, and uot of climates. It is a very essential effect to remark, that the production of vegetable species is much more dependant upon the action of heat and cold, of dryness or humidity, than upon the differ- ence of climates; we may meet, and in fact do pretty frequently meet, the same soecies 111 very different latitudes, in which, however, from local circumstances, the same degree of temperature pre- vails. It is thus that we find upon the high moun- tains of the south of Europe, plants of Sweden, Norway, and even those of Lapland and Spitzbergen. Tournefort made the same observation in Asia Minor, upon Mount Ararat. At the foot of the mountain are found the plants of Armenia; in pro- portion as we rise, those of Italy and tbe south of France, then those of Sweden, and towards the summit the plants of Lapland. It is by means equally simple, that nature has removed from the surface of the globe that monotonous uniformity which the plants would produce, were they every where the same; but, subjected to the influence of the atmosphere, what varied forms do they preseut to our admiration! A temperature constantly humid and warm, such as that of the equinoctial countries, maintained by the rays of a burning sun, and the emanations of a soil watered by the vicinity of large rivers and lakes, gives to vegetation that vigour which asto- nishes in those magnificent vegetables peculiar to those climates. Another form of plants is seen in those countries which are exposed to the alter- nations of cold and warm seasons; it is more equal upon the sea coasts, where the temperature is less variable; but the plants assume a different aspect upon high mountains, where dry and cold winds frequently blow; they vary little iu the fresh waters, or in those of the sea; being there placed in a medium less subject to the inclemencies of the atmosphere. The intensity and duration of the light, the long and humid nights, occasion as many different modifications in the vegetable forms. Nature lias also so fixed the station of plants, that the dwarf and creeping willows never descend from the summit of their mountains to associate with the osier willows, upon the banks of our brooks; and the primula: 1, which decorate the green swards of the Alps, cannot mingle with those of our meadows. — Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal. .
