About one o'clock on Wednesday morning lust, a miner coming from his wor. k discovered fire bursting from the upper apartments of the mansion- pan of tlie building, and upon giving alarm by ringing the house bell, the w hole of the domestics", and much of . the populous neighbourhood, were ou the spot to give every possible assistance, but from the impossibility of obtaining engines immediately, the whole ofthe roof and interior became a prey to the devouring element before tliey conW arrive. ' However, from the direction of the wind, a heavy fall of rain, « ud a plentiful supply of water, which constantly flowed into a reservoir that was constructed ou the top, between the offices and the mansion, the whole of the former as well as the furniture, except what was in the servant's rooms over the chapel, has been saved, and the loss, from the mansion requiring at least two years to complete it, is very inconsiderable as com. pared with what has^ ieen represented. The occasion of the fire has not been satisfac- torily ascertained, bot, from the deposition's taken before two of the neighbouring magistrates, and the known fact that the workmen had several fires in the place, it is hardly to be doubted but to SOUK- careless- ness on their port the cause must be attributed"; aud it is much to be lamented that a watchman, who had nightly been about the premises for the fast two years, was lately discontinued, under an idea that as fewer men were about the premises, less precaution was required. The account already in the Papers of the fire com- mencing in the laundry is totally unfounded. The laundry is in the offices at least 30 yards from any part that was burnt, and is, with the offices, ns already stated, uninjured. The extent of the damage cannot exceed £ 10,000 at most, and the whole is insured to a much greater sum. Sir Edward and Lady Mostyn had only left home for Worcester Music Meeting the Saturday before, ami the melancholy ' information of Ihe injury done to their favourite residence was communicated to them by Mr. Slaughter, her Ladyship's brother. It is, however, some satisfaction to the neighbourhood to know, that they heard the intelligence with great resignation, and thai it is believed Talacre will again, ere long, be the admiration of all passers by.

LOT VIII. All that Piece of LAND on Cyttyr Coinmon, ' near Adfa aforesaid, and adjoining the Rev. MORGA N JONES, late Curate ofBlewberry. The economy and parsimony of this curious man were almost beyond credibility, lie having- outdone, in many instances,- the celebrated Elwes, of Maroham. Wor roahy of, the last years of his ministerial labours, he hacl. no. servant . to attend any of his domestic concerns; and lie ne. ver had even the assistance of a female vnthin his doors for the hist twelve years: the offices of house. maid, chamber maid, cook, ai. d scullibn, and even most part of his washing and mending, were performed by himself: he lias been frequently . known to beg needles and thread at some of the farm- houses, to tack together his tattered garments, at which, from . practice,, he was become very expert. He was curate of Blewberivy up- wards of forty- three years; arid it will scarcely be credited, that the same hat and coat served him for his every- day drc4s during, the whole of that period! The brim of the hat had, on one side ( by so much handling), been worn off quite to the crown, but on coming one day from the hamlet of Upton across the fields, he luekily met with an old left- off hat, stuck up for a scarecrow. He immediately secured the prjze, and with some tar twine, substituted as thread, and a piece of ; the brim; quite repaired the defieieneies Of his beloved old one, and ever after wore it in common, although, the old one was of a russet brown, and the new brim, near fv aS black as jet. His coat, when lie first came from AsRt^ u l4eys, in: 1781, was a surtout much the worse for wear; after some time he had it turned inside out., and made up into a common one. Whenever it became rent or torn, it was as speedily tacked together with his own hands; at length, pieces fell out, and were lost, and as fast as he found it necessary, lie cij. t pieces off the tail to make good the upper part, until the coat was reduced to a jacket, stuck about with patches of his own applying, lu this hat and coat., when at home on working- days, he- was constantly decorated, but he never wore it abroad, or beforestraugers, except he forgot himself, as lie several times had . been much vexed at the ridicule his grotesque appearance had excited when seen by those with whom, lie was not much acquainted. This extraordinary coat ( or more. properly, jacket) is now in the possession of one of the parishioner^, and prized as a grea. t curiosity. His stock- ings were washed and mended by himself, and some of them hajl scarcely a vestige of the original worsted. He had a great store of new shirts, which had never been worn; but for many- years his" stock became reduced .- to one In use; his parsimony would not pej- mif hivn to liave this washed more than once in two or three months, for Avhich he reluctantly paid a poor woman 4d. He always slept without his shirt, that it might not want washing too often, and by thrit means' be wotn out; and lie always went without one while, it was washed, and very frequently ; at other times. This solitary shirt he mended himself*, " and as fast as. it required-; to be patched iri the body, he ingeniously supplied it by cutting off tiie tail; but as nothing will last for. ever, by this constant clipping it unfortunately became too short to reach down to his small clothes. This of course was a sad disaster, and; there was some fear lest one of the new ones must be brought into use; but, after a. diligent search, he fortunately found in oiie of liis drawers the top part of a shirt with a frill on,. * yhich had probably lain by ever since his youthful and more gay days. This piece was, with his usual sagacity, tacked by him on the tail ofthe old one, with the frill downwards, and was thus worn by him until the day before he left Blewberry Latterly, his memory became impaired, and he seveial times forgot to change liis ' dress, and has more than once been seen, at the burial or a corpse, dressed in this ludicrous and curious manner, with scarcely a button on any part of his clothes, but tied together in various parts with string; and in this state he has, by strangers, been mistaken for a beggar, and barely escaped being offered their charity. • His dic- t was as singular as his dress, for he cooked his pot only once a week, which was always on a Sunday ! ; For his subsistence he purchased but three articles ( which he always denominated as " two necessaries and a luxury;") the neces- saries, bread aud bacon ; the luxury, lea. For. many years. his;, weekly allowance of bread was half a gallon per week.; and ill; the fruit season, when his garden produced fruit, or when tie once or twice a week procured a meal at his neighbours', his half- gallon loaf lasted him a dav or two of the following week; so that in five weeks he often had no more than four half- gallon loaves. He was also equally abstemious in. his. other two articles. He frequently ate with his parishioners; yet for the last ten years there was but a solitary instance of a person eating with him in return, and that a particular friend, who obtained only a bit of bread with much difficulty and importunity. For the last fifteen years, theie was never , within his doors any kind of spirits ; no beer, butchers' meat, butter, sugar, lard, cheese, or milk, nor any niceties, of which he was particularly fond when they came free of expense, hut which he could never find the heart to purchase. His be verage was cold water; and at morning and evening weak tea, without milk or sugar. However cold the weather, he seldom had a fire, except to cook with, and that was so small, that it might easily have beeti hid underaa liaJfrgalJon measure. - He has often been seen rowing the church- yard, to pick up bits of stick, or busily lopping his shrubs or fruit trees, to make this fire, while his wood- house has been ci- ammed with wood and coal, which- he could not prevail on himself to> use. In very' cold weather, he would frequently get by some of his neigh- bours' fire to warm his shivering limbs, and, when evening- came, retire to bed for warmth, but generally without a candle, as heallowed himself only the small bits left of those provided for Divine Service in the church by the parish. He was never known to keep dog, cat, or any other living- creature; and it is certain the whole expenses of his house did not amount to half a crown a week for the last 20 years; and, as the fees exceeded that sum, he always saved the whole of his yearly salary, which never was more than £ 50 per annum. By constantly placing this sum in the Funds, and the interest, with about £ 30 per annum more ( the rent of two small estates left by some relations), he, in tlie course of 43 years, amassed many thousand pounds, as his bankers, Messrs. Child and Co. of Fleet- street, can testify. I u. his youthful days he made free vvith the good, things of this life: and when he first came to B'ewberry, he for some time boarded with a person by the week, and during; that time was quite corpulent; but, as soon as he boarded and lived by himself, his parsimony overcame his appetite, so that at last he became almost reduced to a living, skeleton. He was always an early riser,.; being seldom in bed after break of day, arid, nearly tike all other early risers, he enjo. yed. au excellent state of health; so that for the long space of 43 years lie omitted preaching only two Sun days. His industry was sue! vt hat he wrote with his own hand upwards ofonetliousaudsermons; but for t he last few years his handribecame tremulous, and he wrote but little: lie therefore only made alterations and additions to his former sermons and this generally on the bat* k of old marriage licences, or across old letters, as it would have been nearly death to him to have purchased paper. His sermons were usually plain and practical, and his funeral discourses were generally admired; but the fear of being noticed, and the dread of expense, was an absolute prohibition to his sending any thing to the press, although he was fully capable, being well'skilled in the English and Latin languages. The expense of a penny in the postage of a letter has been known to deprive him of a night's rest! and yet we most do him the justice to acknow- ledge, that at times poknds did not grieve him. lie was a regular and liberal subscriber to the Bible* Missionary, and the other Societies for the Propagation of tbe Gospel arid the Conversion of the Jews, and he has rriorb than once been generous enough to give a pound or two to assist a distressed fellow- creature. Although very fond of ale, he spent only one 6d. on that liquor during the 43 years he was curate of Blewberry; but it must be confessed, he. used to partake of it too freely, when he could have it without, cost, until ten years since, when being at a neighbour's wedding, and having taken rattier too much of this his favourite beverage, it. was noticed and talked of by some of the persons- present. Being hurt by this, lie made a vow never more to taste a drop of that or any other strong liquor; and his promise lie most scrupulously and honestly kept, although so contrary to his natural desires, and exposed to so many temptations. The best trait in, his character was, he was a man ' for peace. Whatever . quarrels or disturbances happened am$ ng\. his parishioner^ he was never embroiled on either side. His amiableness in this point, it may be fairly presumed, had some influence on his parishioners, for we do not remember a single law- suit between any two of them during his residence. His memory, which was onee so excellent, having, as before noticed, failed, and his other faculties having ' become im- paired, he could not any longer perform the parochial duty, and, in July, 1824, he preached his farewell sermon, taking for his- text the remarkable words, 2 Cor. xiii. 2.

It was with apparent reluctance that he gave over preaching, and he ap- peared anxious to end, and would most likely have ended his days at Blewberry; but he was obliged to leave the vicarage house., and no one. would take him to live with them gratis. He could not bear the thought of parting with money, and being also much hurt and disgusted at the infamous conduct of a boy, of whom he was very fond, by whom he had been robbed at different times of more than one hundred pounds, he, with the advice of a friend, formed the resolution to write to his kindred in Wales ^ to whom he was almost unknown having entirely left the place of iiis birth for more than fifty years) to come and fetch him to end his days there, emphati- cally declaring, in the words of Waller, that " he should be glad to die, like the stag, where he was roused."

Now, if that Bill shall be farther postponed, the prices, thbugh they must decline somewhat in con- sequence of ihe excess of produce* will still prettv closely range wiili the present ences. But take the contrary supposition- and let us grant, that it is the intention of GoVet iuheut to act rigorously on the bill of 1826, then we shall have no hesitation at . all lit admitting, that Wheat may sink 20s. a quarter, and that we shall haVc it in the ensuing harvest for 40s.; that we may have Barley for 25s. Oals for 15s. and so on. In the former case no one would import foreign corn, paying 20s. or 25 « . a quarter duty ; aud in the latter no one could, for they would have to pav 60s. duty. In either case therefore it would be couchided by the landholders that a corn bill would be un- necessary. It is therefore completely irt the power of the government advocates of a corn bill to render it. unnecessary and superfluous, IJV pressing the Ca LI Bill of 1826 into operation. This would, to he suit., be an admirable revenge upon the great landlords — but then the ruin which must be brought upon thein ly persisting . i- n this measure^ wohld infallibly spread^ and there is not a farmer in the three kingdoms wluj would not experience utter destruction. • Suppose, for example, wheat at 40s. for two i/ eat. s^— wc should then see— half the farmers sold vp, half the mortgages foreclosed, and all the landlords in the country in insurrection. There would be no talk of the corn laws even among the manufacturers. But could this state of things last? Let the years 1815- 16, and the years 1820- 21, answer the question.

AMELIORATION OF SLAVERY.— Extract of a letter received by a merchant in Bristol, dated Portland, Jamaica, 28th of Juue:—" Serious eiFprts are now making in this Island to convert the slaves. Sunday Schools are increasing, particularly in Kingston and the other towns, but the progress of knowledge is very slow, and it will be the work of many years before any thing effective is done; there are many causes which will tend to retard the labours of tb# clergy. There is the general want of morality and serious feelings amongst a large portion of th- e whites themselves ; there are the obstinacy and stu- pidity of the slaves, their aversion to be taught, their superstition, proneness to vices of the worst description ; all these and many more too numerous to be detailed in a letter, must be eonquered before they can make any progress in Christianity ; and until this is effected-— and God in his mercy, with the means now used, can alone gifectit— the negroes are totally unfit for any thing like freedom, or to be left for a moment, to themselves. Wow, putting aside all interested motives, and suppose the . good people of Great Britain were at this moment to say to the Colonists— here is the money for your property, take it, leave the island and your slaves to them- selves— it would be the ruin ofthe negroes. Blood- shed and rapine would soon become habitual among them, and the greater part of them would be mueli worse off than they are under their present masters. It is, no doubt, an amiable feeling in the people of Great Britain to endeavour to emancipate the slaves, but their zeal is without knowledge ; they are ig- norant, generally speaking, of the quality of the material on which they wish to operate. It must he a work oftime, and a long time, before it can be done with safety, supposing the justice or injustice of the measure out of the question." • So material a diminution of water has taken place up the river since the throwing of two arches of Old London- bridge into one, that at low water a person may now walk across the Thames at Waterloo- bridge, some of the arches of which are scarcely passable in the shallowest boat.

Besides the old account, for which the bills were given, the defendants bad a subsequent account against the bankrupts, ending in February, 1826, and amounting; to £ 1155. Os. 6d. Tlie pjajniifTs^ previous to commenc- ing the action, tendered to the defendants £ 183. 8s. 9d. being the amount of their charges for dyeing the, particular wools in question; but, at the same time, gave them notice, that if they did not then accept the same, their right to even that sujn would he disputed. On the trial it was contended, on behalf of the plaintiffs, that the defendants, by giving the"' bankrupts- credit, had deprived the in selves of any fie if whatever: and two letters of the defendants, the one dated, Nov. 1824, and the other Oct. 1825,• specifying their terms of credit, were put in and read. On the part of the defendants it was argued, that, by the custom, the credit which dyers gave was only c'onditioiial, and ceased on the bankruptcy or insolvency of the clothier; -~ that, consequently, the custom did not contravene the established rule of. law, which applied to cases of absolute ciedit; and that the letters were to be con- strued as subject to the same qualification, not" altering the nature ofthe credit, but regulating the periods only, Moreover it appeared nv evidence, that^ ofthe first account, the sum of £ 698 4s, 7d. had been incurred, prio'r to the letter of Nov. 1824'; and therefore il was : contended, that any objection to the lien arising out of either ofthe letters, could not apply to that part of the defendants' demand.— A" great number of respectable witnesses were examined as lo the custom ; and, in the C! jt WiM\ i aau60 oi Ireland. [ FROM THE DUBLIN MORNING REGISTER.] LESS O N S F O ii M A. L, A M B .— The f< > I lo w i trg a re the facts which have . been: already ascertained relative to the waste lands nf Ireland :— 1. That there is an " immense amount" of land in Ireland easily reClainiable, and convertible to tbe pro- duet- ion of grain, almost without limit, for exportation. ( Report of Parliamentary Committee, 1819.) 2. That this " immense amount" comprises three millions and a half of Irish acres, or about the fourth part of the entire island. —( Nitnuio.). 3. That " the Bogs of Ireland" differ from the boggy, inoory, andJenny lands of England, with regard to the facility of reclaiming, and still more so in point of value."— t^ ou. ug, Davy, Newenham, and others.) 4. That there aie peculiar advantages in the process of reclaiming bogs in Ireland, arising from the quantity of limestone' and limestone gravel to be found contigu- ous to them, and from the marl or clay which, in so many cases, form the 8ubstta? tum of the bog itself.— ( Davy, & c. &. c.)' .... - , That all trials that have been' made by private opinion" of the Learned Judge, they clearly proved the individuals, not only prove the feasibility of tlie general dyer's light of lien for a general balance, in cases of To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, project of attempting live reclamation of those wastes, but afford strong grounds for the belief that any capital expended on it would, in a very few years, afford a great and increasing interest, and would contribute to the wealth and prosperity of Ihe kingdom at large.— ( Griffith, Townsend, Edgworth, Davy, Newenham, Young, & c.) And lastly, that on the waste lands of Ireland might he practised* the most profitable husbandry in the King's dominions ; and that if proportionately to the extent of the Bog of Allen, and that of the Bedford Level, stretching through the counties of Cambridge, Norfolk, Lincoln, and Huntingdon, oue half or one quarter of the money which was expended on the latter, were appropriated to the manuring of the former, it would speedily attain a place among the more luxuriant pas- tures of Ireland, and far surpass the greater part of those w hull England boasts.— ( Young, Newenham, & c.) We shall add to these another important fact, deriv- able from the report of the commissioners appointed under the Act of 1809, which we have not heretofore adverted to. It is this— that 6 7ths of the bogs of Ireland are contained within a portion of the island little more than one fourth of its entire superficial extent. This portion is included between a line drawn from Wick low Head to Galway, and another from Howtii Head to Sligo, and in its form resembles a broad belt drawn across the centre of the island, with its narrowest end nearest to the capital, and gradually extending in breadth as il approoches the Western Ocean. Il is obviously of great importance that so great a proportion of the entire boggy land of , the country is included in this tract, for it admits of the concentration of exertion, and the carrying on of works (. n the most compre hensive, and, therefore, most econo- mical plan ; " for if there be a proper level," says Daw, kt to admit of draining, tlie larger the. scale of operations ih. e less must be the comparative expen- e, because machinery may, for many purposes, take the bankruptcy or insolvency, during the time of credit . bill none ofthe witnesses were'allowed to give evidence of the exercise of such right,- in these instances where the time of credit had been stated, by latter. His Lord- ship, however, at the request of Mr. Maule, took a note, that the latter had wished to examine witnesses to that fact.— h was also proved, that the bankrupts, on hein pressed for payment, had agreed to the defendants keeping the wools us a security ; and that two of the parcels were sent to them expressly in lieu of a quantity of dyed wool which the bankrupts, after such agree- ment, had prevailed on the defendants to give up, the purpose of keeping their mill employed. The Judge, after" shortly summing up the evidence, and remarking on the different, points, directed the Jury to-, find specially— 1st, Whether, by ihe custom of the trade iii this country, dyers have a general lien for ilie balance of their accounts.— 2dlv, If they have a genera! lien, whether, in the absence of a specific agreement in writing, they have a right fo detain the goods while the credit is running, in the Case of bank- ruptcy or insolvency .^- r- And 3djy, Whether,"- a' short time before the bankruptcy, any new agreement was entered into between the bankrupts- and the defendants^, for the latter to hold the goods, in consideration of a forbearance to sue, The Jury, after re tiring. a considerable time, returned a verdict for ihe defendants on all the points.

That to the present hour other causes than those which the Legislature takes cognizance of, ( and which, as having arisen out of the system, may be called systematic causes,) will amply and satis- factorily account for the general diminution aud ruin of the Fishery. 7lhly. That the neai commercial age, by locating people in towns, and especially upon the banks of rivers, changing their manners, mode of life, & c. and more so by raising the price of provisions, the want of employment, and demoralization, hath been a chief and principal cause. Sthly. That the modern and modish system of agriculture, by inclosing commons, reclaiming in- undated lauds and morasses, underdraining, em- bankments, and staying the egress from pools and feeders, hath constituted a chief and principal cause. gthly. That inland navigation, by removing ob- structions from the bed, borders, and face of the river, and destroying the natural shelter and defence offish, hath exposed them to every invader, and become a principal and ruling cause. Having thus briefly, and I trust satisfactorily, exposed the single and united causes which have destroyed the whole Severn Fishery, the plan I should propose is— 1. The repeal of the Act passed in 1777. 2. The division of the fence months as already stated, and the addition of 15 days to each part. 3. A general Severn Association. 4. A subscription to defray incumbent and neces- sary expenses, See. 5. To appoint guards, names on boats, & c. 6. To establish a conservatory or preserve^ round thc town, to be stanked and bedded with large stones, so as to render the net impracticable; piace nf manual labour." Il is, too, lo he borne in mind, lhai Ihis hell is intersected hy streams al various pniiils; lhat ihe Shannon- crosses it; and lhat Ihe o- rainl canal ( ilie existence of which should, in itself, he a reason fur undertaking this project,) runs parallel Willi il for nearly 81) miles. The parliamentary coin- inissioucrs, in the report of 1811, slale, lhat there are abundant fails towards Ihese intersecting streams in oil quarters, and that it would not be necessary tu deepen or alter ihe course of any great river for ihe purpose of carrying off the waler drawn into them. This will be easily seen when it is mentioned lhat the ureal licit is, in most parts, from 250 to 300 feel above The level of the sea. REFORMATION IN ITALY. * The Salmon Fry pass us in April and May, and require protection when an individual run boast of' having taken a hundred dozen in a night, which in three years time, and without asking- a grain from man's gamer or a erumb from Instable, would have become nine or ten tons of grateful food. f - Bowlker says—( and his authority is pretty good) —" The Salmon spawn in September and October." Two months, then, is sufficient.— The statute of Geo 111. c. 18, allows the mesh of nets iu the spring months In he " I inch and 3- 8lhs of an inch by the standard Pot no net should enter Ihe river in these months. So would the fry of salmon be secure, and the spawn and fry of fsh in general It is the excess of folly and ' mismanagement to introduce small mesh nets, pouch- eons, and w heels, inlo a river to destroy the small fish, vi bicli are the basis id' the fond nf large ( ish, as much as grass is of beasts, and flies and worms of birds. It would be wise to take 110 iisli not of sufficient age to spawn. | I profess myself no advocate for the confounding of the natural characteristics of ri vers any more than for the confounding of ihe characteristics ofthe human race. No 11 such general law" for me. Neither do 1 see how it will prevent fishermen and fishmongers " substituting the fish of one river for those of ano- ther," when admitted into the market, hut rather tend lo increase than lessen the fraud. LI t ihe fish- ermen and fishmongers be made subject lo penally, and not the fish confounded on their account, ( j It is not intended to blockade the river, impede the navigation, or interrupt fhe lawful angler, but to secure sufficient stock to replenish Ihe more exhausted anil weak parts, preserve the salmon, the spawn of salmon, aud other fish, from uninterrupted and uncnu. ditional molestation. The conservatory v\ ill still he public and not private property— public property defended from private injury & usurpation. Under an organized system, tbe leading fish iu the Severn would tie salmon, trout, grayling, perch, carp, tench, pike, eels, flounders, samlets, and gudgeons, and these iu all abundance. In no quarter of Italy ( dating the 16lh century) had more cruel methods been used to extirpate the new opinions than in the Milanese. Galeazzo Trezio, a nobleman of Lamb- P. unpein, while attending the University of Pavia, had imbibed the lefornred doctrines from Maynardi, who acted at that time us an Augusti- I, ian preacher, and was confirmed in them by the iiistini- iions of Celio Sfcumlo Curio. Having fallen inlo the hands of the Inquisition in 1551, and retracted some ' concessions which he had heen imlueed 10 make ol bis first apprehension, he was sentenced lo be burnt olive, a punishment which he bore with the greatest foitilude. The persecution became more general when the Duke of Alva was made governor, io tbe year 1& 58 two persons were committed alive to the flames. One of thfin ( a monk) being forced" hy an attending priest into n pulpit erected beside the stake, to make his recantation, confessed the truth willi great bold- ness aud was driven into tbe fire with blows aud curses. During tlie course of tbe following year, scarcely a week elapsed without some individual being brouoht out to suffer for heresy; and in 1563, eleven citizens of rank were thrown into prison. Tho exeeu- tion of a young priest in 15B9 was accompanied wiih eireuinslauces id' peculiar barbarity, lie was eon- ( Irinned to be hanged and dragged lo the gibbet al a horse's tail. In consequence of entieaty, the last part of the sentence was dispensed with ; hut, after being half strangled, he was cut down, and, refusing lo recant, Was literally roasted to death, and his body thrown to Ibe dogs. In tbe \ ear 1559 the Government of Milan erected forls on the confines of the Valleline. Under Ihe cover of these the inquisitors entered the country, and, as lliev durst not seize the persons of the inhabitants, eoliected a large quantity of heretical hooks, which Ihfv burnt wilh'great sole Pius IV. who filled the' papal throne between 1559 and I57( i, had been a priest in Ihe Valteliue, a circumstance which at once disposed Ftim to take an interest in Ihe affairs of that country, and made his interposition the more effective, in 15( jfi his legate Biauchi, provost of Santa Maria clella Scala at Milan, appeared at Coire. Supported bv Ihe presence and influence of Ritzio, tbe Milanese Ambassador, the legate made" 11 formal demand on Ihe Diet in Ibe name of his Holiness, thai they should banish the Italian exile s from ilie Valt. eliue and Cliia- venna and allow free ingress and egress lo foreign moults. Hut the influence of Pius, who bad not left behind liitn the odour of sanctity in the Orisons, was small compared with that of his nephew, tbe celebrated cardinal tlorro archbishop of Milan. Though lliis prelate owed his canonization more lo bis zeal for Catholicism than to his piety, yet bis talents and tbe decorum of his private charncler rendered liiiu by far ihe most formidable adversary Ilia! appeared against the Protestant interest. It was tbe great object of liis ambition, early in life, to oppose 1111 effectual harrier to till' progress id' heresy, and 10 repair and prop Ibe fabric o~ f Popery, which he saw tottering on its base. Willi this view be applied himself to ihe removal of abuses in Italy ; introduced reforms inlo the morals of ibe Clergy, particularly of the monastic orders; and erected seminaries, iu which young persons of talent should obtain such ail education ns might qualify thi- m for entering tbe lists with the Protestants, uud lighting ill em with their own w eapons.

But men of learning now i- ame forward who could " make llie worse appear Ibe better cjinse" — who, if ibey did not convince by the solidity of their arguments, cnnld entangle the minds of their readers by their subtlety, or dazzle them hy the splen- dour of their eloquence, and who could artfully with- draw attention from the teal image of tbe church as she existed, to oue which was Ihe pnr. e" crealiou of their own it-. i. igination.

Important to Manufacturers and Dyers. W. HITAKER AND OTHERS ?>. PARTRIDGE AND ANOTHER. — We regret that we cannot give more than an outline of Ihis important and somew hat complicated case, which occupied tbe greater part of two ( lays. The plaintiffs are the assignees of Messrs. Neal and Co. late clothiers at. Wotton- Underedgr ; and the defendants are Messrs'. Jos. Partridge and Co. dyers of great celebrity, at Bowbridge, near Stroud. It was an action of" trover to recover the value of certain wools, the property of the bankrupts, in the possession of the defendants at the time ofthe bankruptcy, and which they claimed a right to retain, not only by virtue of the local custom of the trade, hut also under a special agreement entered into by the bankrupts, prior to the bankruptcy, which took piace in April, 1826. The defend ants' account against the Bankruptcy for dyeing, up to the end of April, 1825, amounted to £ 1413 18s. 5d. for which the bankrupts had given bills, drawn by their House in the country upon their Mouse in London. Only one of these bills ( beino- for £ 300) was paid; another, which had been negociated | that city. To us it appear^ most . extraordinary-, that the present attempt of the R ussians, on Persia lias not created a greater sensation among us than it appears to have done ; Or, indeed, that it has not been met by the most energetic remoiVslraoccs on the part. of our Government. , Persia is at present the great barrier between Russia and our East hull a' possessions'.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S VISIT TO TOE NORTH OF ENGLAND.— Bis Grace the Duke of Wellington intended setting out in the commencement of this week from his seal at Strathfirldsay, on a visit of a short duration lo the North of England. His Grace will be at the Doiicaster Race?,--. where he will be joined by thc Marquis of Londonderry, with w hom the Duke will return to the Marquis's scat at Wyn yard, where he will remain for a few days. Boih those Noblemen will dine on the 24th or. 25.1 b of this month with the Mayor and Corporation of the town of Newcastle- upon- Tyne ; a meeting of the . inhabit- ants of which place was held on Saturday last, in ihe Guildhall, to consider what steps should- be taken to evince their gratitude to the Duke for his spiendid ' achievements in the service of s% e country. Among thc means resolved to be adopted are a splendid ball on the evening his Grace dines with the Corporation. On the following day there will be. a regatta ; and another public entertainment from the Merchants and inhabitants of Newcastle generally. The Duke of Wellington also intends to visit Raby Castle, the. seat of Earl Darlington, where he will be joined by his Royal Highness thc Duke of Sussex. Already have five live turtle been sent. So Kaby Flail from town, under the care of a first rate culinary artist; THE MINES OF IRELAND.— We perceive with pleasure, that thc Hibernian Mining Company have made their first shipment, consisting of 80 tons of rich copper ore, from Killarney Mine. But we note with increased satisfaction the more extensive operations of the Mining Company of Ireland, whose shipments in the last month amount to 240 tons of copper ore, averaging double the' value of the ores obtained from thc mines of Cornwall, and 260 tons of lead ore, producing 75 per cent, of lead. The latter shipment, with 600 pigs of lead to London, may be considered as surplus after supplying the Dublin and other Irish markets with pig and sheet lead. When, therefore, it is to be recollected that these form only a small portion of the Company's transactions— for there are working three collieries and five slate quarries, exclusive of ! hrce lead and two copper mines— the immense advantage of the Company, as a source of employment'of the poor, must appear evident; hence the interest which we take iii their success, and we own that we are sincerely gratified to find that a Company which has afic. rded bread to several thousand persons for nearly three years, and whose works have progressed steadily throughout the. late panic and its consequences, should at length arrive at that stage, which, h: affording a profitable return to the adventurers, assures the permanence and further extension of their important operations.— Dublin Evening Post, On Tuesday, the Lord Bishop of Killaloe; held a Confirmation in the Church of Ennis. After the congregation had left the Church, some of She young persons who had come from a neighbouring parish, for the purpose of being confirmed, having been recognised at the other end of the town, were at- tacked by a furious mob, and insulted in the grossest manner. The young strangers, four in number, re- treated in the greatest alarm towards the Court- house, still followed by this foul- mouthed mob ; and were it not that a Magistrate placed them under the pro- tection of some of the police, we have some- doubts if they would ever have reached home. We really feel a reluctance in saying a word more thatv. giving " a mere statement of the shameful transaction. We can hardly trust ourselves to give vent to our feelings when we record thai four Protestants-— three youtv*- girls and a bo)— were shouted al, and pelted with stones, through some of the most populous parts of thc town,- without one door being opened to astord them an asylum, or one voice being raised in their behalf. They were Protestants— that was the head and front of their offending. But we understand Ihe affair was, made light of-— it was merely a funny thing. True, it was funny to some of the party, but, like the fableof thc boys and frogs, il might have been death to ihe others. This is the first time that a circum- stance of this nature ever occurred here, and we expect to hear of its being reprobated where it ought to be thought that it should have most effect. We hope to hear that the lives of our fellow- creatures are thought of some consequence, even though thev be Protestants; and that the satanic yells and murderous intentions of some of the Jiock will be reprobated as much as the heinous crime of reading the word of God has been.— Clare JournaI. Itisstated that Mr. Lawrence, of Sandywell Park, near Cheltenham, will offer himself as a candidate at the next election, to represent the city of Glouces- ter in Parliament. Mr. Lawrence ( who stands on the Beaufort interest) is the gentleman who was . the defendant in a cause which was entered for trial at the Gloucester Summer Assizes last year, and which excited considerable interest on account of its sud- den postponement by reason of the absence of Mr. Sergeant Wilde, who had been specially retained to conduct it. Mr. Philipotts, the Barrister, is also confidently spoken of as another new candidate for IMPORTANCE OF AGRICULTURE-— In good years, the annual value of the grain grown by Britain ( including, of course, wheat, oats, barley, beer, rye, and pulse) is generally estimated at one hundred and twelve millions sterling, and ' hat, independently of black cattle, sheep, hides, wool, butter, cheese, poul- try, which, acording to Dr. Co! qu ho mi and other statists, amount to a hundred and eight millions more. Now, these, are truly fearful sums, whether taken together Or Separately; and the best way to judge of their magnitude is, to compare them, first with the national debt, and next with the income and expendi- ture, of Britain. In either point of view, they impress us vividly with the vast importance of the* fruits of the soil, and at the same time point directly to this conclusion— a conclusion as obvious as that two and two are four— that when any thing occurs to diminish the productive powers, of the soil, weare jiist. so much poorer as a nation. As climate and weather vary with latitude, importation from abroad will fill up the void, but the supplies thus obtained must be paid for in specie or other commodities j aud the effect, though neither so visible nor alaiming, is Ihe same- reckoning in pounds, shillings, and pence— as if a fire had destroyed some of our fairesl towns, or a great storm overtaken and stranded the elite of our navy. The harvest, last season, according to many, was a full fifth below an average one ; and if there be any truth in this calculation, Ibe consequences must have been fell not only in large trading towns, but in every glen & strath in the kingdom. If tlie poor weaver was obliged to pinch, and piucll grievously, the moor- land farmer had either to anticipate future savings or fall back on resources previously accumulated ; and to say nothing of the numerous intermediate classes whose interests were more or less affected, even Ihe Chancellor of ( he Exchequer himself was feelingly reminded of the long continued drought by de'raiige- ment of commerce, diminished consumption, and a consequent falling off'in the ways and menus. And Ihis hasty view of ( lie subject brings us back to the point fiom which we started— namely, that theagii- cultural piospecls of Ihe country furnish a theme for universal rejoicing, particular branches of trade may flourish or decay, and the great bulk of Un- people remain ignorant of fin- circumstance; but the stale of the crops and Ihe state of Ihe weather affect, moie or less, the fortunes and feelings of all classes— from, the peer iu his palace to ihe beggar on tbe bridge. Here ( be very poorest have " a stake in ihe hedge," and at particular seasons, a fortnight of good or bad weather may influence the future weal or woe of miliums of men, by giving lo or taking from them millions of tfnnncv. In one word, and without dis- cussing the principle of high or low prices, ahuud. anee is a blessing, scarcity a scourge; and we con- clude as we began, hy recommending all lo bow the knee in gratitude to that kind Providence which crowns Ihe joyous year with abundance, and scatters plenty over the laud fur man and for beast.— Bum- fries Courier. Many of the principal Agricultural Theorists iii this kingdom seem So have retired or are retiring from business; not, however, we trust, without hav- ing satisfied themselves that, although a farmer lives a very pleasant and rural life, and, under a good landlord, holds an independent station in sociely, his profits are not without risk.

According to a recent Parliamentary return, there- were ou the 5th of April last, in Scotland and Wales, 1,772 brewers, 900 retail brewers, 12 intermediate brewers, and 65,733 licensed victuallers, of whom 28,19t brew their own beer. The number of bai'rels of beer brewed iu England, Scotland, and Wales, from thi 5th of January lo tbe 5th of April, 1827, was— by public brewers, 1,177,127 of strofig beer, and 254,495 of table beer ; by licensed victuallers, 627,715 strong, aud 134,614 table; and by intermediate brewers, 2,189; of this quantity 561,907 barrels of strong beer, aud 67,464 barrels of table beer, were brewed in London, or wilhin ihe limits of the Chief Office of Ejici. se, The number of bushels of mall used by brewers and victuallers in England, Scotland, aud Ireland, during Ihe year ending April 25, 1827, was 22,851,615. The number of bushels used iu ibe dis tilleries iu the same period, was 3,586,273J, of which 2,3: 22,574| were for Scotland. The Moniteur of Wednesday contains a compara- tive list of lire shipping which sailed from Ihe ports of France to .. foreign countries in the two years of 1825 and T826-. In the former, Ibe number of vessels amounted to 9,902, tbe tonnage of which was 754,751 ; and in She latter, they are slated al 8,897, with a tonnage of 788,417. French vessels, and foreign vessels, trading to French ports, appear from the above account to be much smaller in their tonnage than British, the former not averaging 90 tons, aud the laller upwards of 120. The table iu the Moniteur specifies the quantity of this shipping which belongs lo French ship- owners, and ( hat which is navigated under a foreign flag. The latter nearly doubles the former, being, in 1825, as 400,440 tons lo 247,264 ; and in 18.26, as 412,672 lo 228,719. The number of seamen employed in navigating thc French com- mercial navy is staled, in 1825, at 25,687 ; and, in 1820, at 22,001. This is exclusive of the trade of France wiih her Colonics, which employed, in 18- 20, 439 ships, measuring 107,047 Ions; and, in 1826, 542 vessels, with 127,026 tons. The seamen engaged in this branch of commerce are staled, in Ihe above years respectively, to be 6,413 and 7,668. This statement indicates a great improvement in Ihe French colonial trade within the short space of a twelvemonth. In comparing this account of tbe shipping of France with that of England and of Ihe United Slates of America, we both discover the great disproportion between the extent of the trade of ihe latter two countries and the former, and likewise the great difference between ihe quantity of home and foreign vessels employed iu each. The whole of the tonnage employed in the foreign commerce of France did not amount, in 1826, to a half of that employed by Ihe United Slates, and to little more than a fourth of that employed by this country; and while about half She foreign trade of France is carried on by foreigners, only one- third of that of Great Britain, and one- tenth of our trans atlantic brethren, is en- grossed by foreign bottoms. A Correspondent of a Morning Paper gives ( lie following account of the state of sociely iu the town of Deal : — " There is undoubtedly, as ils principal hotel- keeper—( he of Ihe ' three Kings) observed to me lt a vast deal of dullness at Deal." There are barracks capable of containing an army of many thousands occupied by two or three companies only. There is Ihe station of the Ramilies, and the head- quarters of " the Blockade Service;" but the Blockade officers, though obliged by their present Commander to be con- stanlly iu full dress, dare not show their faces nt a tea- party, or any other party, in Ihe town, without a hardly- obtained permission from the said full- dress commander. Possibly he is afraid the fair damsels of Deal should undermine ihe faith of his Blockaders, and thereby injure his Majesty's Revenue in the article of tobacco. There is no theatre, no balls, no concerts, no libraries no public conglomerations of any sort; and a London newspaper is quite a rare thing there. How they amuse themselves, Heaven nhove knows! May be lliey have " treasures of their own, and can quit llie world, to dwell alone, wilhin their spacious minds." They have no pugilism; no euck fighting; no badoe'r- bailirig; no cricket- matches ; no Batlersea pigeon " and sparrow butcheries; no Hells— nor any other of those amusements which betoken the Age of Intellect - and yet they all look w ell and happy. They have no gas— nothing hut a few oil- lamps, and even these " their Corporation has just resolved, shall not be lio- hted dm i ng tile next winter. They have not even a single watchman; and. yet, with a population of seven thou- sand souls— three hundred of whom are in the poor- house— they do not hold a Sessions above once in twelve months; and the only prisoner in their gaol with the exception of one or two poor exchequered smugglers, is a petty larceny rogue for stealing a pair of shoes! Finally, they have no Jish, though whiting, turbof, and soles were once so plentiful with them ' and 1 am sorry to say there are some old fishermen among them who do obstinately affirm that the said whiting, tut hot, and soles have all been frio htened away by the great resort of cockneys to this part ofthe coas, t. Nevertheless, tiie Deal men and women, as I have already observed, seem to be warm, cozy, and comfortable. Yon never see a beggar in their streets • .... in their streets ; and their Corporation always feed at their own cost but they complain bitterly of the long peace, and abominate the idea of ihe intended Ship Canal from Portsmouth to London." By the Liverpool papers we observe, that Mr. Huskisson has addressed a letter to the Mayor of that town, staling that his parliamentary seat has been vacated in consequence of his acceptance of the Secretaryship for the Colonies; and intimating his intention of again offering his services lo the borough, if a disposition is expressed on the part of the town to support him. From a decision of Mr. Justice Park at the Maid- stone Assizes, it appears that a tenant at will, occupying land from a person holding it by lease, becomes liable; whether he knows any thing of the lease or not, or whatever conditions it may contain. By the death of Lord Archibald Hamilton, a va- cancy occurs in the representation of Lanarkshire, and we observe that the Hon. Charles Douglas, second son ofthe Right Hon. Lord Douglas, has already proposed > himself as a candidate to fill it. Sir Michael Shaw Stewart has started in opposition, and we suppose Will command the Hamilton interest thus the county will be divided by the two most illustrious families it enumerates among its aris- tocracy; and who are so nearly balanced in power, that were fhe contest to depend on that alone, it would be very dubious how it would be decided. In short, the issue of the canvass will prove beyond dispute whether the Whig or Tory influence pre- ponderates in the West.— Edinburgh Observer.

SOMERSET ASSIZES.— Corporation of Wells.— The decision of the Quo Warranto actions at Bridg- water, is likely to be of great inconvenience to the Corporation. The Charter was granted by Queen Elizabeth, and directs, among olher things, that the Corporation should consist of not less than 24 capital Burgesses or Members, including 16 Common Coun- cil, six Masters, and a Mayor, and that a majority was necessary in order to legalize any proceedings under that body.— The Rev. H. Pu'sford, against whom the first action was tried, and R. Brooks, Esq. who served the office of Mayor in 1822 23, were both declared disqualified from informality in their election. No proof was adduced to shew the number present; hut it appeared on the evidence of Mr. R. Davis, the present Town clerk, that eight out of that number were absent, and that since he had been in the Cor- poration ihe usage of the body had been, to do their business with a majority of the existing members, until about ten years since, when their proceedings, not being considered quite correct, they had taken a majority of the aggregate body, as constituted by the charter, to conduct the business/—- The verdict for the Crown, given in this case, will not only disrobe and deprive six or seven of the present Corporation of Wells of their civic honours, but remove nearly 60 Burgesses, whose elections depended entirely on the effective election of the Mayor. A point which was reserved, the Judge considered but a feather, and not at all likely to disturb the verdict. A correspondent who had noticed in a recent num- ber of pur journal a paragraph recommending ground cork fried in grease as an efficacious plan for de stroying rats, states thai he lately put the plan to the test of experience, and completely succeeded. The case was that of two old women in the village of Diunv, who lived iu two detached garret rooms of the same dwelling. The rats had long been trouble- some, but at length became so numerous and daring that they fairly threatened to challenge the tenants with longer possession.

His was truly a kindred spirit, being gifted by nature with as great a share of undaunted resolution and never- failing presence of mind as his lamented relative, combined with prodigious personal strength and activity. These circumstances, added to the great frankness, open- heartedness, and pastoral simplicity of his disposition, have induced a pretty general belief that he furnished tbe mighty Northern Wizard with materials for com- pounding- that exquisite character— Dandy Dinmont. This is thc more likely, as he was well known and highly- esteemed by Sir W. Scott. This genuine Scot- tish worthy ( now, alas! no more) was several years ago appointed collector of the customs in the principal town of one of the largest of the western isles. His way to the place of destination passed close to Loch Lomond' and its far- famed mountains, scenes of enchantment which lie had never seen before. Mr. P. was an ardent admirer of the beauties of nature, and being in no great hurry, he resolved lo enjoy himself here for a few days. About this time the neighbourhood was infested by a numerous and resolute band of smugglers. Thesudden appearance of a solitary stranger, sometimes perambu- lating by the side of the loch, and at olher times toiling up the lofty Ben Lomond, for several days together, excited fearful suspicion in the minds of the illicit distillers of the barley- bree. The bare circumstance of his having a harmless PocketTiaveller in hand, literally spoke volumes against him. Celt he could not be, for he looked like a^ well- fed gaucy lowlander, every inch of him. Nay, the book itself appeared to them to be an accursed insirument for noting down their delinquencies for the cognizance of the Excise. Short work they resolved to make with the Sassenach spy ; and truly the final day of his sojourn here was big with fate. He had wandered a considerable distance from his usual boundaries, and the weather being extremely hot, he repaired to a clachan, the only habitable place for miles round. He called for some whisky and water. Immediately after, one savage- looking Highlander dropped in after another, until their number amounted to half a dozen. They forthwith planted themselves on the benches encircling an old massy oak table, at which Mr. P. sal, and regarded him with looks of fierce and ominous import. At last one of them drew a dirk from his plaid, and, holding it out to his intended victim, said, " Ken ye ta use o' tat?" Though somewhat staggered at this alarming'question, his great courage and presence of mind did hot desert him on the trying occasion. He suddenly grasped the poniard, and, exerting his great strength, drove it up to the hilt into the oak table. " Noo," says he, " let me see that loon that will tak out that bonny thing." The astonished owner of the weapon and his companions tugged with might and main, and with both hands, but were totally unable to move it. Mr. P. instantly drew it out with one han'd, and with the greatest apparent ease. In a moment, not a philabeg was to be seen in the room. The. bewildered rogues fled; and to this day Mr. P. enjoys the reputation of being ho less a personage than Auld Mahoun himself.— Literary Gazette. The Montpclier Patriot states, that a gentleman in Irasburgh, Orleans County, while ploughing in his field, found, a few days since, what is termed by some an " iron shirt," the body part of which is made wholly of iron rings, linked into each other, about one- eighth of an inch in diameter. The proper name of the garment is, undoubtedly, a " coat of mail," but how it came in Irasburgh is left to conjecture. It was found under the stump of a tree, about two feet over, which had become rotten. The rings are made of small wire, and appear to be ri vetted together. The United States engineers, surveying in that region, have procured it, and intend to bring- it to New York.— American Paper. A black man, with only one eye, one of those disgraceful wrctches who degrade religion and disgust the sensible part of the community by extemporary declamations of the Gospel, was last week taken into custody in the Isje of Wight, on being found drinking in a public house at midnight,, thus applying the profits of bis noon day's affected piety, lo effect the real purpose of his impious profligacy. He was ordered to quit the Island immediately, and, we pre- sume, returned to Portsmouth and Gosport, where he has before too successfully practised his imposition. We cannot loo strongly express our surprise at the encouragement which impostors so generally receive. — Southampton Herald. At the burial of Mr. Isaac Cator, of Horringer, which took place on Tuesday last in that parish, a singular request ofthe deceased, made by him a few days before his death, was complied with as nearly as possible. He desired that six young women of the village should, after the burial service, sing two verses of the 39th Psalm over his grave; and ordered that each should have a pair of gloves and one shilling, and be treated with a slice of cake and a glass of wine. Only four young women, how- ever, could be found fit for the duty required, and two boys supplied the deficiency, and with the four girls received the directed gratuity. Cator had formerly been the favourite stud- groom of the pre- sent Marquis of Bristol, by whose liberality he had for some years past lived in retired ease, and rather altluence. He is said to have left behind him nearly two thousand pounds.— Suffolk Herald, SIR RICHARD SUTTON, BART.— The papers al- luded to this unfortunate young gentleman's long confinement, from breaking one of his legs last year when hunting. The fact is, it was broken twice previously, and from the same cause. Happily he is now recovering'. But what we wish to allude to is, the prodigious property he inherits from being- heir to the Bath and Pulteney properties. Sir Richard has fhe richest rent- roll in the kingdom. Every body was surprised at his granting a lease of the ground on which Bath House stood, in Piccadilly, to Mr. Alexander Baring ; but the fact is, he always intended, at the expiration of the Marquis of Chol- mondeley's lease, to take possession of that mansion formerly known by th'e name of Egremont House.— Suffolk Herald. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.— About four o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday week, a most melancholy occurrence took place at the soap manufactory of Messrs. Crosfield and F. ell, in Warrington. It ap- pears that one of the boilers was charged for the purpose of making Soap, and that when it boiled, as was usual, Some vitriol was poured in to bleach the soap, which caused it to generate nitrogen gas: The stuff boiled most furiously, aud three of the workmen were actively engaged in. stirring the liquid, to prevent it boiling over, when the smell emitted became so strong that the men fell down, and, before assistance could be rendered, the soap boiled over the sides of the boiler upon tlYem. One was dead before he could be got away, and a second lingered till ten o'clock, when he also expired; the third escaped with a slight scalding on the legs. Mr. Crosfield, while endeavouring to render assist- ance, had his hands and legs very much scalded, bat we are glad to say he is now going on well. Some idea may be formed of the painful and ex- cruciating suffering- of the man who survived a few- hours, when we state, that having staggered froni the pan where he was engaged in stirring- the soap, to another at the distance of about a yard and a half, he fell back on the floor, and dreadful to relate, a quantity of the boiling1 liquid got down his throat. One of the poor sufferers has left a wife and three children, and the other a wife and one child ; both widows being also pregnant. For some time past a fellow has been in five practice of visiting in' ( he evening various public- houses in the town, imposing on the frequenters of them a tale of the deepest woe; and, in order to excite their sympathy, has offered them his shirt for sale, unbuitoning his waistcoat at the same time to shew that be bad none on; then pretending that he was reduced to tbe most abject misery, be has generally been relieved. A few evenings ago, how- ever, a man who suspected he was an impostor made him nearly tipsy, and the fellow then acknowledged that he had obtained for himself and wife a very comfortable livelihood, and lived in genteel apartments, from whence he sallied every evening, resorting to the above artifice. In the day- time he amused himself by selling religious tracts.— Brighton Gazette. A young lady of Kenhoway made an experiment on a living toad by putting it into a flower- pot, covering it Carefully up, and placing it deep in the ground, to see if it would ii. vc without food and fresh air. She lately, after a lapse of more than two years, examined her captive, which appeared as strong and healthful as when first placed in confinement. She has again recommitted it to its former darksome cell to spend two years more in " durance vile."—• Edinburgh Observer. The celebrated Sir Sidney Smith has presented to the Royal Sociely of Antiquaries of France a fac simile of a precious antique, which consists of a plate of gold six inches four lines, by two inches two lines, very thin and flexible, bearing an inscription in the Greek language, and characters of the era of tile third Ptolemy. It was found in L818 in the ruins of the ancient Canopus between Roselta and Alexandria, in Egypt. The following is a translation of the inscrip- tion :—" King Ptolemy, son of Ptolemy and Arsinoe, brothers, deified, and Queen Berenice, his sister and spouse, consecrate this temple to Osiris."— Mehemet Ali, Pacha of Egypt, having employed 250,000 men to cleanse the ancient canal of communication between , Alexandria and the Nile, those who constructed the dike to prevent the return of the sea into Lake Mareolis, sought for materials amidst the ruins of the ancient Canopus, and found lhat gold plate between two tiles of a vitrified substance. It was carried to Mehemet Ali, who at his return fo Cairo sent it to Sir Sydney Smith, through thc medium of Mr. Salt, the British consul in Egypt. Those vitrified tiles present a substance filled with globules of air— one is green and the other blue. These colours, which were considered sacred by the ancient Egyptians, are always found in the ornaments belonging to mummies. The nature of the colouring matter has not yet been ascertained by chymists, who have not yet heen able to discover in the blue the existence of cobalt, of which it was supposed theancieuis were ignorant, nor that of copper in the green.— Fiench Paper. ENTOMOLOGY.— There is in Livonia a rare insect, which is met with ouly iu the most northern coun- tries, and the very existence of which has for a long time been doubted. It is the furia infernalis, de- scribed by Linnteus in the new Memoirs of the Academy of Upsal. This insect is so small that it is very difficult to distinguish it with the naked eye. In warm weather, it falls upon persons from the air, and its bite produces a swelling which becomes mortal unless prompt remedies be applied. During the hay- harvest, olher insects, called meggar, are equally injurious to men and beasts. They are of the size of a grain of sand. At sunset, they appear in great numbers, descend in a perpendicular line, pierce the strongest, linen, and cause an itching with pustules which become dangerous if scratched. They occasion swellings in the throats of cattle which inhale them, and which die, unless speedily assisted. The cure consists in a fumigation of flax, producing a violent cough. ORIGIN OF THE SAXONS.— The most probable derivation of the Saxons which has been suggested, is from the Sacacsiennii, or Sacassani, a people mentioned by Pliny and Strabo as originally in- habiting the regions of Persia, about the Caspian Sea. In support of this derivation, it has been observed that several words in the present language of Persia nearly resemble those Of the same signification iu Saxon. Of such resemblances five remarkable instances are adduced, by Camden, from Joseph Scaliger. This hint has given rise to an attempt, by Mr. Sharon Turner, to ascertain, by a comparison of the two languages, whether such a number of coincidences are discoverable as materially to confirm the belief that Persia was originally the couutry of our Saxon progenitors. Although, supposing that belief well founded, the total separation of the two nations for at least 2000 years, the progressive migration of the Saxons along tbe north of Asia, and through the whole breadth of the upper surface of Europe, together with the numerous viscissitudes which have befallen them, must have tended greatly to obliterate the marks of original similitude between their respective languages ; yet the result of the comparison made by Mr. Turner, during a very brief period of leisure which he was able to devote to this object, has been the discovery of 162 Persian words, which have a direct affinity with as many Anglo- Saxon terms of the same meaning, He has likewise given a list of fifty- seven' similar resemblances between the latter tongue and the Zeud,. or ancicnt Persian; and a third, consisting of forty three coincidences of it with the Pchlier, an intermediate language used ia Persia, between the modern Persian and the Zend. In the learned writer's opinion, a more elaborate investigation of these analogies would further confirm the Asiatic derivation of the Saxons.
