BY A CLERGYMAN OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. This Work has been undertaken from the Wish, that our National History might be taught without connect- " ng with it a constant Call to worldly- mindedness. The Author does not propose to write for the pro- fessed Political Scholar; but offers the Result ofhis Studies for the Benefit of those who are contented to aim at less ambitious Attainments. He will, therefore, endeavour to make whatever be has Occasion to speak of intelligible to persons of limited Information ; and lo keep down the Size of his Work to about the Scale of Goldsmith's History. At lie same Time, as thesanguinary Details of War are, in his View, the least important of the Subjects on which he has to treat, the Brevity of his Notices of them will leave a larger Space for recording and examining the Progress and Decline of Religion, the Formation of our excellent Constitution, the State of Public Morals and Literature, and the Advance and Diffusion of the Useful Arts. iU& ttorertjtre. The Work will be printed in Duodecimo, on a good Paper, each Number will contain Forty- eight Pages of Letter- press, and it is presumed lhat il will be compris- ed in about Forty- eight Numbers. It will be published by C. and J. Rivington, St. Paul's Church yard, and Waterloo- Place, Pail- Mall, and will be sold" by all other Booksellers.

GENTLEMEN, AVING for the last Twelve Years been afflicted with a very severe Scorbutic Eruption, which, by the Use of your truly excellent Antiscorbutic Drops, has been entirely eradicated, I think it my duty to make known the particulars of my case, for the benefit of those who may be similarly afflicted. Th first symptoms of the disease appeared upon my right hand ; it gradually spread along the arm, attended with a great number of pimples, which, bursting, dis- I charged a very acrid humour ; in fact, so violent was the disease, that 1 was utterly unable to follow my usual employment. After taking the advice of some eminent Medical Men in Birmingham, and using the remedies they recommended, from which 1 found no relief, I was recommended to give your Antiscorbutic Drops a trial. I accordingly purchased a 4s. Gd. bottle from Mr. Butterworth, Bookseller, Birmingham, from which 1 found great relief, and after taking a few more bottles, 1 had tbe satisfaction of finding the disease gradually give way, and, as 1 have above stated, it was at length completely eradicated. I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, ANNE THOMPSON. Attested hv J. Butterworth, Bookseller, Birmingham. I shall be happy to answer any enquiries, either personally, or if by letter, post- paid. To Messrs. J. Lignum 8$ Sony Surgeons, Manchester.

The next arrival from Constantinople' must bring decisive information, either that tire Sultan has receded from his determination,, or t'lia- t the Ambas- sadors of the three Allied Powers have quitted the Turkish capital'. Their joint note was presetted on the 16th of August, and no reply having been re- ceived ou the 301 li,- the day on which the. time fixed for the determination expired, messengers were sent to the lie is E'Jendi to receive his answer, it was verbal, and expressed in . the most decided terms the Refusal of the Porte to admit the inter- fereuee of Foreign Powers in. the affairs of . Greece; referring, at the same time, to the recent declara- tion made by the- Turkish Government as their inalterable determination. On the following day, the Ambassadors had a conference., . und ia the after. » oon the Dragomans were sent again to the Reis Kft'endi. They delivered a second note,, still more forcible than the preceding one, distinctly announc- ing'to the Turkish minister, that the objects of the treaty must be obtained, whether with the concur- rence of the Porte or without it, and that the mea- sures determined upon for that end vvould be carried into execution. The Reis - Etfendi is said to have replied very pointedly,, aud repeated,- more firmly than before, the determination of the Porte to abide by its first decision.. Such appears to have been the state ofthe tiegoci- ation at the date ofthe official dispatches to the. French Government; but private intelligence since received, . via Paris, states that the Ambassadors,' finding that no further notice was taken of their application, bad met ou the morning of the 4th, and had come to the determination of demanding th « ! r passports-, and quitting Constantinople on the following- day. Mr. Stratford Canning and the Ambassadors of France and Russia must th'Crefore have since left Constantinople,, or the Porte stopped their departure by yielding to their demands. Jamaica papers have beeu received to the 9th ult. and Bogota ( Colombia) Gazettes to the 13th of July. Bolivar remained at Ganthegena on the 2Gth of July, but was expected to march on the capital with all the troops he could nruster. He had also given instructions to Paez to- collect all the disposable force he could ( report states the number about 4,000 men),, and march upon Bogota. Colombia is in a most convulsed condition, the district of Pasto in a state of resolution, instigated by the intrigues of Peru ; aud a:-. 3he last movement of Bustamente is ascribed to that cause, the Bogota papers are loud in their execrations against that" State, and hold out the'immediate necessit y of sending a force, adequate to compel satisfaction for tbe broken faith iti refusing the stipulated sums to Colombia for liberating Peru from the yoke of old Spain,, for refusing payment to the merchants of Colombia, and, in addition to these outrages, the attempt made to bring about a re- volution in the country. The accounts from Greece contained rn the French Papers of Wednesday are of a favourable com- plexion. Those from Spain are only continued details of rebellion and anarchy. RUSSIA.— The Emperor JNiehoIas has published an ukase, forbidding freemasonry throughout the whole of his dominions. Intelligence has been received- from Persia of the Russians, having been obHg- ed to raise the siege of Erivan; but after an action in1 which a division of the Persian cavalry were put. to the rout, the Russians had succeeded in obtaining possession of Abbas- A bad. We learn from the Paris Papers that the Spanish insurgents increase in strength and courage', and that new successes on their part have inducetl the Government to turn their most serious attention towards Catalonia.-— Ferdinand has been pleased to order " the destruction of the insurgent bauds," which disturb that5 province. Acc'ordfhff to present appearances, ft will be a much more difficult task to execute this order than it was fro1 give it,— The departure of Mr. Lamb from Madrid is said to have created a very strong sensation in that capital.

BANK OF ENGLAND BRANCH EANSC* [ From the Hall Advertiser.'] We last week stated, that a letter was ia' the course of signature in this town, addressed to Samuel Thornton, Esq. deprecating the establish- ment of a Branch of the Bank of England at this place. Wre have since been favoured with a copy of the letter in question^ which we now lay before the public:— " Hull, Sept 5, 1827. s< Sir,— The long intercourse which has existed- between you and this town, and the personal acquaint- ance many of us are honoured with by you, induce us to address you on a subject which is creating a great sensation iu Hull, and which, from your close con nexion with the Bank of England, and as its oldest director, we think it due to you to acquaint you with. 44 For several months reports have been in circu- lation here, from which it appears that it is the intention of the Bank of England t, o establish in this place a ' Branch Bank,' and as such establishments luive already taken place in several other commercial towns, and even in this neighbourhood, vve naturally must conclude that these reports are not without foundation. We therefore think it right to express to you, openly and candidly, that, according to our opinion, in Hull such an establishment is not wanted. The private Banks, which have existed here for a great number of years, are not only possessed of ample and sufficient means to support and facilitate our commerce, but the regularity and prudence with which we know thev are conducted, aud their engage- ments being kept within the easy reach of their . means, create, ou our part, a confidence which we could not easily give to any other establishment; and we o\> e k to them, in full justice for the assistance and the services they rendered the town at a late period of peculiar distress and pressure, aud from our know- ledge of their means and their inclination, to support them against any competition. 44 We are well aware our sentiments will not guide tbe directors of the Bank of England in any deter mination they may be pleased to come to ; we have, howeyer, thus explicitly stated our opinion lo you, leaving, it altogether to your better judgment to make such use of it as you may think most proper; and are, with much respect and esteem, Sir, 41 Your obedient and humble servants. " To Samuel Thornton, Esq. London." This letter was signed by the principals of one hundred and seventy- nine of the commercial houses and chief trading establishments in the town, and is so much in unison with the general feelings of almost every person of any respectability engaged in business, that there would have been no difficulty in adding considerably to the number, indeed, we understand that only three persons to whom the letter was shown declined signing it. The following is Mr. Thornton's answer :— " London, 12th September, 1827. M My dear Sir,— I received, while I was in the country, your letter of Friday last, which contained a representation against the establishment of a branch bank, from a numerous body of the merchants and traders of Hull. " This paper I have put into the hands of the Go- vernor,. who will lay it before a Court of Directors pre- vious to the taking further measures; but owing to there being other business before the court, it is proba- ble some delay may arise respecting the time of its being considered.

The Russian disposable force now in the field consists of about 25,000 to 30,000 regular troops. The Persian army assembled on different posts of the front er exceeds 100,000 nien » 4< The failure of the Russians before Erivan has given the Persian troops great confidence, and unless they commit some egiegious blunder, or unless large Russian reinforcements are at hand, we may fairly conclude that Persia will again have ihe advantage in the campaign. 1 am, however, happy to find that she is moderate iu her success, arid still continues to desire peace and even to renew from time to time her pro- posals for an accommodation. She complains much,, however, of our conduct to her, and says that we ha\ e deserted her, that we have resorted to quibbles to get rid of our engagements, that cmr faith is tainted and our honour stained. It is hard to find that such an opinion of us is entertained by any court in the world, more especially where a few kind words would have saved our reputation. Unless our government has already taken some steps in behalf of Persia, England will never again he Jo her what she has hitherto been, and vve may nil live long enough to lament tlu; change." GAMING TABLES ON SHREWSBURY RACE- COURSE. [ From a Coriespondent ]— We have been informed, that iu the summary vengeance taken against the cheats who presided at gaining tables on Wednesday night last, one of them who had made himself more conspicuous than the rest was about to he taken to a pond, to expiate his offences with a ducking. We would deprecate as much the illegal notion of a drunken rabble taking; the law, as it were, into their own hands, as the unlawful mode of picking the pockets of his Majesty's subjects ( under a shadow of fairness) at any of these gambling tables, but the result was just as it should have been. The culprit begged hard to he excused a ducking, and offered to sacrifice his ill- gotten money at the shrine of public indignation. The capitulation was accepted, and thirty sovereigns were scattered abroad to appease the incensed rabble, w hile the conjurer escaped according to the treaty ; but as soon as he had got clear off with the substantial part of his booty, it was discovered that all the sovereigns were counterfeits. Nothing could have better taught the moral lesson in this ease. The blockheads who had foolishly lost their money, overslept the law in an attempt to gain more than they had lost, but the gambler was too deep for them. It may be a question, whether less harm is not done to society by a small number of silly persons being tricked out of their money publicly on a race- course, than that a greater number should be robbed at a gaining table in the privacy of a house : and perhaps a few repetitions of the occurrences which happened nt the race- course at Shrewsbury, may be more ef- fectual in arresting the progress of the evil com- plained of than nny other means, although as contrary to law as the offence is which raised the resentment. On Tuesday last, a public meeting was held at Eccleshall, for the purpose of forming a District Committee of the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foresgn Parts, at which the Lord Bishop presided, attended by Lord Viscount Sandon, the Venerable the Archdeacon of Stafford, and a large body ofthe ( lergy. On Friday last, Francis Pier point and Benjamin Boucher, Gents, were elected Bailiff's of the Town and Liberties of Bridgnorth : this making the sixth time the former gentleman has been elected to that office. On the same day, the retiring Bailiffs, William Coley and Charles Clark, Esqrs. welcomed a most numerous and highly respectable company of friends to a sumptuous dinner. A few days ago, a fire took place at Boulden, near the CleeFIill, which consumed a large quantity of Pease, Oats, and other valuable effects, belonging to Mr. T urner, of that place. The fire was caused by some children having- ( uuperceived) made afire under a thatched hovel. Next month, according to Mr. Francis Moore, is likely to present a very favourable opportunity to such of the fair sex as wish to enter the 4£ holy state of matrimony." " The aspects of this month" ( October), he says, " appear in general of a benevo- lent nature; to one of which I wish particularly to call the attention of my fair readers, aud especially those who are about to enter the silken bands of Hymen— I mean the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus. Let such hasten to the hymeneal altar whilst tinder the influence of the coincident rays of these benign planets, as the consummation of this happy union, at such an auspicious period, may be expected to produce that harmony of sentiment and affection which renders the married life a continual source of pleasure and delight. A sly intrigue ( he adds) is about this time in agitation; something very mischievous will in all probability be brought to light before long !" Shropshire Church Missionary Society. The Anniversary of this institution, yesterday, was honoured by the presence of the Lord Bishop ofthe Diocese; and the Town Hall was filled by a most respectable assemblage, chiefly females, who Anxiously listened to the interesting addresses deli- vered ou the occasion.

This, they doubt not, will be done with effect by the Secretary of the Parent Society, who has been deputed tb attend this meeting. Four Committee, however, feel called on generally to state thfeir undiminished attachment to the Church Missionary Society in London, and their conviction that an encouraging measure of success has attended all its operations. With that institution your Committee feel it a very high privilege to be connected, believing that, to all conscientious and zealous members of tbe Church of England, it affords an unexception- able opportunity of exemplifying those principles which the Church herself intulcates, and of acting rn . accordance with her prayers. The existence and increase of a Missionary spirit' augiVrs well for the Church : faith and love must exist where such fruits are produced : aud your Committee trust that such fruits will become more general among Us. Though your Committee are not privileged to announce to you any extraordinary success duriug the • past year ou the part of the Shropshire Association, yet they retire' from their office with the humble hope that the institution on the whole is in1 a healthy Condition", comparing its former resources with its present. One rtew association, indeed, has been formed since your last anniversary, at Whitchurch, under most favourable auspices, the' Lord Bishop of the Diocese being | Patron, and Sir Rowland Hill, Bart. M. P. Vit'e Patron thereof. Up to the 25th. of March last, this- Association had remitted the sum of 42/. Your Committee feel peculiar pleasure- in announcing the formation of this institution ; and other^ large and populous towns in the county uiay shortly be occupied by the Missionary Society in a similar way,. The contributions from the Bran- ehes in connexion with your Association are as follow:— The Shropshire Ladies' Association 217/. 16s. Id. ( making a total since the commence- ment of 2981/. 8s. 2tl.); Bridgnorth Branch Association SSI.; Buildwas 21/. ( is. 2d,; Madeley 78/. Is. ( id ; Shawbury 11/. 10s. 2d.\ Shiffnal 10/. 15s Od. • Utfington and Battlefield 26/. 17s. Qd.; VV'estoiiand Lee brock hurst 8/. 0s. bd. ;• Whitchurch 42/.; Whittington 98/. 10s. 0d'.; making u total, during the past year, of 600/. 18s. Ad. received from- the Branches; to which the Subscriptions and Congregational Col lections being- added, the total receipts of the Shropshire Association amount to the sum of 804/, 4s. 2d. of which the sum of 750/. has been remitted to the Parent Society in London. While your Committee bless God for such a lesult, they cannot but feel that they have reason rather to be ashamed than to rejoice. The sum is nothing when eoHi^ pared with our mercies, our talents, our responsibilities, our opportuni- ties, and the urgent e'alis upon us to preach tlie Gospel to every creature. YoUr Committee canisbt, therefore, conclude their report more appropriately than by urging upon all the subscribers and friends of the institution to continue and increase their exertions and prayers for the furtherance of this great and glorious cause. 44 Pray ye," said the Saviour, look- ing 011 the multitudes who were as sheep without a shepherd, " Prity ye the Lord of the harvest t. iat he would send forth labourers into his harvest.'" Fr « m that moment prayer for this object has been the duty of evel- y Christian ; and from the moment when lie delivered that fast command, " Go ye into all tiie world, and preach the Gospel to every creature," — from that moment every possible effort has been the duly of every Christian in every age. The LORD BJTSHOP of the Difrcese moved that the Report should be adopted, Sic.; and in doing so, expressed the warmest approbation of the pro- ceedings and objects of the Soeiety.— THOMAS WHITMORE, Esq. seconded the motion. The Rev. C. BICKERSTETH gave a detail of the Society's proceedingsand stated that it now possessed nine missions, comprehending fifty- six stations, in which there were four hundred and ninety- seven teachers employed ; numerous congre- gations formed; schools established; fourteen thousand children in the course of instruction j and the gross receipts of the society, in the twenty- sixth year of its duration,- had amounted to upwards of forty- five thousand pounds. The Revds. C. R. Cameron, E. Burn, J. Bartlett, T. Dixon, J. Davies ( of Worcester), C. A. A. Lloyd, J. Richards, E. Williams, R. N. Pembertou, and" J. Langley, afterwards addressed the meeting; and we regret that our' limits prevent us giving their observations iu detail.-— The collection made after the meetiug amounted to £ 28. 2s. lOd.— The subscriptions and donations also received at this meeting, ( including a donation of £ 10 from the Rev. E, Bather,) amounted to upwards of £ 50. A Branch Association in aid of the Church Missionary Society was, 011 Monday last, formed at Madeley, VV. Anstiee, Esq. iu the chair; when the Rev. Messrs. A. Buru ( of Kinnersley), E. Bickersteth, fJowells, Cameron, J. Nunn, Loxdalc, j^ angley, aud Cooper, addressed the meeting. A: sermon had been preached the preceding day, at Kinnersley, by the Rev. J. Langley, when the sum of £ 7.12s. was collected in aid of the Society's funds.— Same day. sermdns were preached at Stockton and Madeley. The collection at Stockton amounted to £ 19.16s. lOd. and at Madeley ( including the meeting) the sum of £ 39. 6s. 3d. was collected. MR. LLOYD, DENTIST, OF LIVERPOOL, OST respectfully announces to MUS I respeettully announces to tlie I, adies and Gentlemen of SHREWSBURY aiid ils Vicinity, that he is at Mr. DCNNRORN's, Uphol- sterer, & c Wyle Cop, where he will remain till the 29th Instant.

His Majesty, we understand, has directed I. ord Goderieh to offer au Earldom to Lord Cawdor— an act of Royal condescension, the more gracious and liberal, because perfectly unsolicited and unex- pected by his Lordship. The Rev. Edward Davies, Rector of Bishopston, Gower, author of the " Celtic Researches," and other learned works, has liberally presented to the Library of St. David's College, Lampeter, one hun- dred volumes, principally on Celtic Literature, which will add not a little to the value of the col- lection already therein deposited ; a gift whieh we take pleasure iu announcing, not only out of respect to the learned and worthy benefactor, but as it may induce others to contribute in like manner front their literary stores, and thereby render it a highly valuable depository of literature, for the use of those who are ultimately to become pastors and iuslructors of the people. At the Carmarthen Great Sessions, a cause Doe, on the demise of Snead, v. Evans, was brought to try the validity of the will of Mrs. Ann Bowen, of Kidwelly. The lessor of the plaintiff was a distant relation of the testatrix, and evidence was produced which clearly proved the testatrix to be of unsound mind at the time the will, uuder which the defendant claimed, was made.— The jury, after hearing tbe evidence for the defence, and inspecting the will, found a verdict for the plaintiff. Aberystwith Races proved most attractive. Tbe sport was capital, all the heats being admirably contested, aud the company comprised an immense assemblage of rank and fashion. On the first day, the sweepstakes of ten sovereigns each, seventeen subscribers, were won by Captain Davies's Mima; the Gogerddan stakes of five sovereigns each, and £ 40 added, by Major Parry's Soothsayer, beating three others.— On the second day, the Aberystwith stakes of ten sovereigns each, and thirty added, were won by Mr. Davies's Trooper, beating eight others. The pony races were excellent.— The ordinaries and balls were well attended, and the whole arrangements most creditable to the Stewards and satisfactory to the company.

WORCESTER.— On Thursday last, Thomas Best, Esq. the Mayor elect of this city, gave his inaugur- ation dinner at the Guildhall. The company con- sisted of the present Mayor, with others of thj Body Corporate, Lord Viscount Deerburst, the Hon.. VV. Coventry, the Members for the City, Colonel Davits, and G. R. Robinson, Esq. the Very Rev. the Dean, George Farley, Esq. the High Sheriff of the County, & c. Sic. in ail . nearly two hundred — Among the toasts given on this occasion were " His Ma- jesty's Ministers," and "'/ Vie Right Hon. Robert Peel."— And the Worcester Herald says—" As impartial Journalists, we must say, that the first of these toasts was received in solemn silence, neither followed by marks of approbation or disapprobation ; uol so, however, the latter, which was hailed with general plaudits, aiid drank with three time three." MR. BROUGHAM AUD LORD ELDON.— On a recent trial, between the Corporation o! Liverpool and the Mersey and lryvell Canal Company, iu stating the case of the, Liverpool corporation, Mr. Brougham, after mentioning, lhat " The Mersey and Irwell Canal Company had obtained an act so long back as the 7th Geo., I. and at that time, and under the provisions of that act, they made a cut, the legality of which,' as exceeding their powers, was, in the opinion of a MOST LEARNED JUDGE, much more than doubtful," thus proceeded :—" The Attorney- General, or his predecessor, had brought the consideration of that act, by an ex- officio in- formation, before the late Lord Chancellor, whose opinion was that the company had exceeded their powers. That was the opinion of a man who, DURING THE WHOLE PERIOD OF A QUARTER OF A CENTURY, in which he presided in the highest court of equity, WAS WITHOUT A RIVAL AS A PRO- FOUND AND SAGACIOUS LAWYER, AND WAS WITH- OUT A SUPERIOR A510NG HIS ILLUSTRIOUS PRE- DECESSORS! He would only claim tor his lordship's opinion THAT DEFERENCE WHICH ANY JUDGE WAS ENTITLED TO DEMAND FROM EVERY LAWYER, WHO HAD OCCASION TO INVESTIGATE THE POINTS THAT JUDGE HAD DECIDED, and he should not be accused of adulation towards the noble lord now, when he was never charged w. ith fawning upon hint while in office; but he must be allowed to say, THAT IIE HOPED AND RELIEVED THAT NONE OF HIS SUCCESSORS WOULD ITASHI. Y* DEVIATE FROM THE LIGHT WHICH HIS LORDSHIP'S AUTHORITY GAVE."— Sir James Scarlett, in allusion to this nauseous stuff, dryly observed afterwards, " that he had never praised nor assailed the late Lord Chancellor!" LORD FARNHAM.— The name of this nobleman is familiar to all who have interested themselves in observing the progress of reformation in Ireland; His lordship has obtained the respect and love of all who have opportunity to know his character and to observe his conduct. As a proof of ihis we observs his lordship has been complimented with the present of a splendid piece of plate, by the noblemen and gentry ofthe several counties of Cavan, Fermanagh, and Monaghan.— This was presented to his lordship on Wednesday, the 12th instant, by the high sheriff* of Cav an, Maxwell J. Boyle, Esq. in the name ofthe subscribers.— The plate is a large and spleudid silver salver, three feet in diameter, containing 57( i ounces of silver, aud curiously wrought and ent^ ballishe'd. The £ 1 notes issued by Messrs. Galtons ami James, bankers, of Birmingham, have been forged. A few only have made th° ir appearance in cir- culation, and they are easily distinguished from the genuine ones. At a quarterly meeting of the Bank proprietors On Thursday, a dividend of four per cent, for the half year ending the 10th of October^ was declared. The new Charter for the Borough of Stafford has at length reached that town. The Commissioners appointed by his Majesty, for investing with authority the New Corporation, are, the Right Hon, the Earl of Harrovvby, Sir Oswald Moseley, Bart. E. j. Littleton, Esq. Member for the county, and the Rev. T. Whitby. The Members of the Corporation, it is expected, will be sworn in oil an early day. Our great annual fair was held on Wednesday last. We seldom have witnessed a more thin attendance at this fair than on the present occasion, bnt the transactions of the day appear to have been considerable. There was a good shew of cattle, and the quantity of sheep penned was large., Of cattle, those fit for the butcher, sold readily at the average of . about 5| d. to 6d « per lb. Stores were few, and but little done in- them at rather lower prices. In sheep, the fat and prime fetched, wethers 7d. aud ewes 6d.; the ihferior of course less money. Much was done in store sheep, which were bought up with considerable eagerness, and at good prices The horse fair exhibited its usual •• destitution of animals, except of the most humble grade, and for these there appeared no demand whatever. The supply of cheese was small.—' Fhe holders asked, and obtained in some instances, from 70s. to 75s. for the best making ; and 55s. to 63s. for seconds; but lower terms were obliged to be submitted to in the latter part of the day, by those anxious to sell. Of hops, the quantity pitched was 1200 pockets; and of which 1003, all of this year's growth, were sold. The average of the prices has been stated to us by some at 75s. to 84s. and by others at 72s. to 88s. but we rather think the latter terms were only given for those of the finest quality. The quantity of hops brought to the fair appears to have exceeded the general expectation, although not one- half of that sold last year, but they do not show that quality and excellence which were anticipated ; the condition of a great portion was very indifferent, and the mould prevailed amongst many to much extent; higher prices are consequently looked forward to, more particularly for the betlermost article.— Worcester Herald. Ho wart h, the Frome Burglar.— This culprit was brought to Bath on Wednesday morning, in the custody of Mr. Oxley and Mr. Lee. He did not look by any means so powerful a man as had been repre- sented ; but his appearance was much altered fur the worse, owing to the dreadful sufferings a id privations he must, have undergone since his escape from the Frome constables, lie was very heavily ironed, and had on an immense pair of wooden shoes, which pre- vented any possibility of escape. The appearance of the wretch, on his examination at Frome, was really appalling ; and when the disguise cap, usually worn during his depredatien9, was put on him, covering the head to the top of the nose, leaving eye- holes, it was horrible ! He was fully committed to llchester, to take his trial at the next Assizes, under four separate charges of robbery. Tlie Howarths are most extraor- dinary depredators. They are now about the age of 50, and a system of plunder has been the study and practice- of their lives. Geo. Howarth is the elder, and appears to have been the leader in the career of villainy they have pursued. For a period of 16 years they have been inhabitants of Frome, during which time, it would appear, they have been in the constant liabit of committing robberies of the most daring and criminal nature. Sheep, calves, Jkc. have been stolen from the fields, joints of meat from the butchers' shops, cloth from the factories, and even sacrilege has been committed by these wretches, who, under the garb of professed sanctity., have, until now, effectually elmled the vigilance of justice. The wife of George has owned having a gown made of the clergyman's sur- plice, which her husband stole, and that she has - fre- quently passed the clergyman with it on; and like- wise,. that Ralph's wife bad a bonnet made, of the velvet from the pulpit- cushion. The llowarths did not plunder through want of the means of subsistence ;•- thev were clever as , millwrights, seldom without employment, and often earned three guineas a week each.— They, were born near Knutsfonj, Cheshire.

Fitzwilliam, aged ( NORMAN) 1 the hands of the Government in both countries. Here I we have laws, indeed, against gambling, but it is not thought expedient fo execute them, except occasionally against the minor establishments, when it is thought necessary to keep up a show erf activity in the police, without offending any persons of high consideration — hut as to " hells" oil a grand and magnificent scale, they are as inviolable under the nose of ihe Executive Power, aud in ihe broad face of day, Us they could possibly be within the dusky realms of lhat jet- black sovereign of whose kingdom they are the type and expressive abridgment. The rulers of China, however, are not yet capable of understanding ihe advantage of conniving at a vice among the great, which, wherever it prevails,- destroys' all public and private virtue— all domestic happiness— extinguishes every generous qua. lily— debases the intellect— tears prosperity up by the roots, and drives its victims too often to crime, madness, or suicide! The proclamation which we published last week from the Governor of Canton against this odious vice has some emphatic passages, which it. would be well if our Christian statesmen imprinted on their memory, while they copied his energetic example. Among other things, he speaks of " the great gambling- houses, in which both time and fortune are lost, which often lead the unhappy victims lo robbery and murder." And lie complains that " the police charged with ihe prevention of gambling receive money, and become so corrupt as to encourage this infraction of the laws." li appears from this, that the police, at least, are quite as accomplished a body of men in China, as in England. Nor does the Governor feel any absurd squeamisliness in telling this delinquent police of their corruption; and he wisely adds, < k If I do not catch and punish such severely, how can I manifest the laws to the people, and correct depravity r" How, indeed ! If ihe watch dogs connive at the wolves, how are the sheep to escape? In another part of his proclamation he states u that gamblers should assemble together and gamble, is the great injury of any country. 1 have lately established lawsiigainsl gambling, which if Ihe soldiers and people will break, I will first examine whether their offence be heavy or light, and afterwards put them in the collar, or punish them wiih the bamboo, or banish them for life, or for such time as the established law pronounces." And again, " vagabonds and lazy fellows are enticed, who wear away the time from their employments, lose all their inheritance, and ruin their families, till, in the extremity of distress and desperation, they become robbers and banditti, and stab and murder other people; and, in fine, there is nothing that they will not do." We wish our Secretary of State for the Home Depart- ment would' imitate ihe conduct of the Governor of Canton, with respect to gambling- houses, and the police w ho favour them. We also wish that he had a few of the Chinese collars andbamboos at his disposal for the benefit of great delinquents as well as for small, and that he, exercised the same vigorous impartiality in their application.— Morning Herald. manure : the farmers in the neighbourhood of Yar- mouth use it for turnips, and prefer it to every other for the successful cultivation of that root. Sea mud (. silt)' is used on the lauds contiguous to the Mersey ; and much may be done by irrigation in this fine watered country. It appears to' me, that the cattle and sheep of South Wales generally suffer in the spring, for want of sufficient food; at the same time there are two plants, indigenous to the soil of the Principality, one of which will keep ( when cultivated,) three to four horses or cows per acre, from October to March, and tbe cattle will then have better coafs than on any other food, except corn ; the other plant will stand five or six inches high the first week in March, and is excel- lent food for cows, horses or sheep, particularly for ewes and lambs; these plants are perennial. Saint- fo'iri would improve the thin calcareous soils of South Wales, as it has doue those of Surrey, Wilis, aud Hampshire; lucern, on loam of a sufficient depth, would keep three to four horses or cows per acre from the latter end of May till Michaelmas, if managed as in Kent. Trees and planting :—- for dry soils ( in my practice) the fir tribe, particularly larch, has answered best; for moist bottoms, the black poplar, the crack willow ( fragHisand the white willow ( alba), the two latter are timber willows, will grow to a large size, or may be cut for coal- pit use, in nine years from the truncheon, and wili then pay forty pounds per acre. If the high dry lands ( to a certain altitude) were managed by the double feeding system as on the hills in Oxfordshire, it would )^ ci » ease tbe value of that property thirty per cent. A system similar to the above being acted upon, Would maintain a third more horses, cattle, and sheep, upon a given quan- tity of land; much more manure could be made, and of course, the crops of com would increase, which can be proved by A PRACTICAL FARMER.

The general arrangements made by the Clerk ofthe Course, under ihe direction of the Stewards, gave universal satisfaction, the ground being exceedingly well kept, nnd every facility given to the lovers of the sport. Another cause of satisfaction was the general route ofa host of gamblers, of all grades, who, on Tuesday and Wednesday, infested the course— the smaller fry being'spread over the ground in every direction before and between the heats, while eight spacious marquees were the resort of I hose who chose to be fleeced in belter style. On Wednesday evening, however, a numerous* body of young fellows, some in revenge for losses sustained, and others by way of spree, com- menced the work of abating the nuisance. The under- ling gamblers, who occupied tables with " thimbles and peas" and u prick i' the garters," had their im- plements taken from thern, and thrown into a pool of water, together with such of the owners as evinced more obstinacy than discretion in the a flair. ' Fhis part of the work being done, the marquees were the next point of attack ; the poles were broken, and the can- vas rent in a very short period ; the keepers who at- tempted to defend themselves were severely thrashed ; and, finally, a fire was made to consume the fragments. — The consequence of this was, that, on Thursday, two gambling- marquees only made their appearance; and the minor adepts in fraud were obliged to offer a game with li thimbles and peas" on their hats, not daVing to produce a table or any other convenience that would afford a mark for the renewal of the scene of destruction which had closed the sports of the day preceding. By way, as we suppose, of obtaining some remunera- tion for the loss of their tents, the gamblers, after the races, issued cards, announcing that " The Games of Hazard, and Un, Ueucc, Cinq, will be played this and to morrow evening, September 19 and 20, 1827, iu a Private Room, at. Shrewsbury ."— Whether the town produced a sufficient number of gulls lo an- swer their purpose, we have not ascertained, Oil TUESDAY, Sept. 18,. the jockeys for the St. Leger assembled in the weighing- room, and all of them having answered to their nameson being called, were addressed by Mr. Loekwood,- who desired them, on mounting, to parade up to the Grand Stand, and then return to the starting- post ; and when that was done, and t'hey were in line, he would give the usual signal; if it should turn out to he a false start, they would see a flag- waving iu the cross roads; if otherwise, they would ike the best of their way. lu pursuance of these directions,, the jockeys, after saddling, paraded to the stand ; but the sight, which is generally very interest- ing, lost much of its effect, from the horses not keeping- well together, and the same reason occasioned the first siart to be much later than usual. At length they got into line, and the word was given to go. It, however, proved to he a false start, and two others followed. In another attempt Mameluke was restive, kicking and plunging, insomuch that Cbifney could not bring him up, The fifth trial was equally ineffectual, although many of them went at a good bat to the cross roads, before the flag stopped then), in consequence of two or three being left behind. Twice more did they attempt to get their horses together, w ithout success; but the eighth time proved effective, and at four o'clock, just as the sun was bursting from the clouds, the actual race commenced,• and decided the great St. Leger, as follows — The Great Si.

Before the first start the betting was as follows: — 5 to 2 ii gainst Mameluke ( taken); 4 lo I against Granby ( taken) ; 8 to 1 against Matilda ( taken); 20 to 1 against Popsy ( taken); 25 to 1 against Malek ; 25 to 1 against Reviewer; 30 to 1 against Lord Scarborough; high odds against any other. When, however, Mameluke began his tricks, an alarm seized his hackers, and he immediately fell back to 4 to I, at which there were no takers, Granby bein<>- decidedly first favourite. At ihe eighth attempt they went off", hut in the most irregular manner we ever witnessed. Matilda and Translation had a start of at least 60 yards, Mameluke being within two or three of the last ; the two mares maintained their lead for about a mile, Matilda with a solitary exception ( in which Translation for a moment got the lead) keeping the fro lit', aud succeeding at that distance in beating her antagonist off. I u ihe meantime Pedlar, Laurel Granby, Kit Cat, and Mameluke, had been gaining upon them ; the latter in particular having crept up from the rear, aud made himself about the eighth horse by the time ihey got to the cross- roads; from lhat point he began to improve rapidly, owe by one passing those before him, till he came to Matilda's quarters, con- tiguous to the Red House. He continued gaining on her, and when they got to the . distance- post, was a head before her. The mare, however, did iiot allow him to maintain his advantage, for she immediately passed him. At this period all the others were com- pletely shut out, and the rest of the ground was con- tested with some severity by Matilda aud Mameluke, the former winning hy a length. The Judge only placed these two at first, hut subsequently added Laurel as third ( al the request of the stewards', having ran a good horse). Kit Cat, though not placed, was fourth, and Granby fifth. Medoro be ing- also very near. Reviewer was beaten some distance from home, and came in in the rear. The distance was run in three minutes and twenty seconds. It is very evident lhat, had they got oft' at the first start, Mameluke would have run away with the race. Il is rather singular that Robinson should ride Mameluke for the Derby, and win, should ride against him for Ihe St. Leger aiid win also. We are informed that t| ie Hon. E,' Petre ( proprietor of the winner) has received tin anonymous letter, stating that if Nonplus did not start, a brace of bullets should be passed through his head. We have reason to believe that the Hon Gentleman has dis- [ FROM THE AUSTRIAN OBSERVER.- J Vienna, Sept. 1.— As hatred of all personal, spiritual, and temporal corporations, and the decree of destroying them, was a distinguishing feature of the 18th century, so is a universal tendency to Money Corporations and Companies a peculiarity of the 19th century. A certain propensity to federation is natural to man; and if the selfishness of men does not allow them to join, and submit to a guild, fraternity, or company, they must at. least associate their property for numberless great objects, which are not to he attained except by the voluntary union of money. A great number of such Money Corporations, or Joint Stock Companies, have been established within the last twenty years; we are able clearly to distinguish the good and the evil,, the honest and the dishonest, the external appearance from the internal essence. Hitherto, all money corporations have had material objects, such as commerce, canals, mines, & c.; It was reserved for the land of inventions and improvements — for England, first to set the example of a money cor- poration for intellectual purposes— for the diffusion of instruction and knowledge over the whole earth; we mean, the London University, which is now being- formed. Hitherto, the obscured, yet still powerful conviction, had prevailed in England, that education and histMiC^ tion proceeded from a superior spiritual authority, and since the English Universities were on their part the most powerful supports of , the spiritual authority— namely, of the Anglican Church, they were corpora- tions of the most inflexible kind— full of abuses— not averse to science of the highest kind, yet without favour- ing it; in all their regulations ruins of monastic anti- quity, in which modern elegance and school pedantry are found mingled in the most motley confusion. Nevertheless,- they had in their favour their spiritual origin, iheir traditional form, and their corporative union, and we therefore need not he surprised that they remained, the proper citadels of Toryism and of Angli- can opinion, and that from them the chief opposition in what is called the Catholic question iu fact proceeded. Meantime the opposite opinion has gradually gained ground, that instruction and education proceed from another authority which is gaining more and more power over human affairs — namely, money; and nothing, therefore,, is more natural than lhat a money and joint stock company seizes on the formal direction of learning. A sociely of unknown shareholders elects and con Iron Is the supreme council, consisting of 24 persons, which regulates and directs the. studies, ap- points tlie professors, and governs, in the last instance, the scientific education of succeeding generations, while itself depends, as the gods of antiquity did on fate, upon the course of Exchange and sale of shares. Great $ id celebrati d names on the list of proprietors make no change in this respect, for in this situation they have no influence, as authorities in matters of science and opinion, but iheir influence depends on the market value of their shares ; and thus money appears for the first time as supreme ruler and law- giver in Ihe domain of science, the nursery of posterity, the sole and last hope of a convulsed age is hereby solemnly and formally given up to the sway of mammon. This is the London University. All that can he known will he taught; the physical branches in the most minute manner; the moral and historical ad libitum; the doctrines range themsel ves by ihe side of each other as chance directs ; the discipline is left to those with whom the students lodge ; religion aud theology are excluded. The supreme authority of the shareholders does not profess the doctrine of any particular confession, not even belief in the Unity of Goo is required for admis- sion into the University of that ancient province of Christendom. The declaration of the authors of the prospectus in reference to the article of religion is afflicting. They do not say, like the assassin Louvel, Dieu n'est jamais renu sar la terre. They sincerely lament that the most important of till objects of instruc- tion must be passed over for the sake of the many sects, for the sake of the natives of both Indies who are to be educated iu this University, arid we vvill add, for ihe sake of Ihe money and the shares of that unknown Grand Master of the London University, before whose cosmopolite way of thinking, all difference of faith, and faith itself vanishes. The most suitable inscription for the splendid edifice now building for the Loud oil University, would he the celebrated toast— Liberie politique, et religieuse dans tout Cunivets. This vvould most clearly express the sentiments of the founders and patrons of the new University. For it is not" Whigs who aim and launch this . Leviathan of learning against the Oxford of the Tories. All parties are agreed, that these party names are no longer ap- plicable to them. It is the cosmopolites, who, under the protection of Universal commerce and pecuniary interests, are endeavouring to deprive the Anglicans step by step of the soil of Old England,. of its manners and its laws, and in whose hands even the Caiholic cause of Ireland lias become, an affair of cosmopolitism. Il is not domestic questions that are now at issue, as in the struggles between the Whigs and the Tories, the present contest embraces ihe whole inhabited world. Shall England, as the head of ihe whole colonised world beyond the seas, be hostilcly opposed to ancient Europe, and its institutions, as the cosmopolites desire, or shall it according to tlie purpose of the Anglicans remain a Member, though in many respects separated and independent, yet united by affection and blood to the great family of the European states. This is the point at issue in the contest between those two British parties, in which a third party— namely, the lower classes ofthe pople, who are worked upon wilh sys- tematic consistency., according to radical principles, appear at present to be spectators only, undecided which side to take. For the present it may suffice to have pointed out how the establishment of the Loudon University is a new and most alarming indication of the advantage which the cosmopolite party, in England, has gained over ils adversaries. The following brief notices of the various British missionary societies, arranged in the order of their establishment, are chiefly collected from " The Spirit of British Missions," ( octavo, 1815, pp. 195), published under the sanction of the Church Missionary Society:— 1. The oldest missionary society in England is that called the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts. It was established by act of parliament in 1647 ; hut the civil wars which followed, and which ended in the death' of King Charles, suspended the execution of its plans. At the Restoration of Charles II. a charter was granted, and the work resumed ; and in the year 170] the society was incorporated bv charter, Under royal patronage. Its great aim has been to promote Christianity in the British West Indian colonies, and in North America. Mr. Eliot, " the apostle of the North American Indians," was supported by this society, ami the missionary family of the Mayhews also laboured under its patronage. It has now but a few missionaries in iis employ. 2. The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, formed in the year 1698, aud countenanced by the nobility aud bishops of the realm, has devoted a portion of its funds lo the support of the first Protestant mission founded in India; though its principal eff'oits are directed to the furtherance of religion at home. The names of Ziegenbalg, Schwartz, Gericke, Kolhotf", and others, adorn the history of its labours in India. 3. The New England Company is a very old estab- lishment, formed for the instruction of the Indians in New E'/ gland and the parts adjacent, but now limited chiefly to the Indians in New Brunswick. 4. The Society for ihe Conversion and Religious. Instruction ofthe Negroes in the British West India Islands, founded by the late Bishop Porte us, and. sup- ported principally by the proceeds of an estate left bv ihe Hon. Robert Boyle, in 1691, for the advancement of ihe christian religion among infidels. 5. The Society in Scotland for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge, which has for ils object ihe in- struction of ihe ignorant in the Highlands and Isles of Scotland, and the propagation of the gospel in foreign countries, was- formed in 1701, and incorporated in 1709. David and John Braiuerd were among its early missionaries to the North American Indians. 6. The United Brethren's Sociely for the Furtherance of the Gospel, or Moravian Missions. These missions began in 1732; the society in London was established in 1741, to co- operate with the principal sociely in Germany. There has also latterly been established in London an association, not. consisting of persons con neeted with the Moravian church, in aid of the above missions, Their siations are 36 ; missionaries and their wives, 185. Their annual expenditure' is £ 10,000; towards which the biethren themselves can scarcely raise £ 2,000; for the remainder they have to look to the liberality of other churches. 7. The Wesleyan Methodist Mission? commenced regularly in 1786. Indeed, in 1769, the Rev. Mr Wesley sent missionaries fo North America ; and from the year 1760, there had been preaching* hy the Me- thodists iIT the West Indies. Mr. J. Wesley himself, and his brother Charles, had also been sent, as mission- aries to the new colony of Georgia, in 1735. At present, the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society employs a larger number of missionaries than any other British society its stations are 138; its missionaries, not reckoning wives, catechists, school- masters, local preachers, & c. are 190, including 21 who preach in the native Irish tongue. 8. The Baptist Missionary Society, established in 1792, employs a number of missionaries and translators iu the East Indies; it has also missionary stations in other parts of the world, A separation has recently taken place between the society at home and tlie missionaries at Serampore, and they are henceforth to be considered as two distinct and independent bodies. 9. The Missionary Society, usually called the London Missionary Society, ( the title resolved upon in 1818,) was established in 1795. It is principally in connexion with, and under the management of, the Independents, though other bodies of dissenters unite in its support; it has also a sermon preached in its behalf, annually, in the Church of England. In 1826 it had upwards of 80 missionaries, besides native teachers, readers, & c. 10. The Edinburgh Missionary Society was formed in 1796. It has some important missions in Russia. 11. The Church Missionary Society, established in 1801, is conducted by members of the Church of Eng- land, under the patronage of various peers, spiritual and temporal, and other distinguished persons. It has 9 missions, in which are 56 stations, employing 34 Eug'lish clergymen, and 14 Lutherans, besides a large number of native teachers, & c. p- r 12. The Continental Society w& s^"' formed about ten years ag- o. Perhaps it may not be strictly correct, however, to rank il among those societies which are properly missionary. 13. The same observations may perhaps be applied to the Language Institution, just established, although it promises to be of considerable benefit to the missionary work generally. EXECUTION OF FOUR PERSONS.— On Wednesday was presented at Ilchester the melancholy spec- tacle of four unfortunate persons undergoing the last awful sentence of the law, viz. John Burton, Wm. K erg lake, T. Wiltshire, and William Latcham.— Elizabeth Dix, accomplice with Wiltshire in robbing her master, Mr. Jameson of Lark- hall, was sentenced to be executed at the same time, but, owing to the successful efforts made by some Gentlemen of the vicinity, a reprieve arrived for her on Tuesday. Richard Lovell ( 71 years of age), and Richard South wood, for burglary, were also reprieved.— Bur- ton, it will be recollected, was a travelling tinker, convicted of assaulting aud robbing a poor man of the name of Bartlett, at one ofthe fairs in that county. He was at the head of an organised band, that was in the habit of infesting fairs, and committing the most atrocious assaults upon those who happened to fall in their way.— Kerslake was a native of Bea- minster, the only worthless member ofa large and industrious family. He was convicted of robbing the house of Y. Stuckey, Esq. banker, at Langport, and stealing a quantity of plate, & c. to the amount of nearly £ 300. From his youth he had been ad- dicted to vicious habits, and had before undergone sentence of seven years transportation for robbing- a cloth manufactory at Ilminster. At Maidstone Assizes, several points of the Queen borough cause were pronounced on by the jury. Others, which involve questions most important to the corporation fishing towns throughout the kingdom, were left to the Courts above. The Queenborough cause was an action for debt, brought by the select body of tbe Corporation, to establish a right they had exercised in 1822 and 1S24, of forming bye. laws, by which they had imposed a penalty of £ 50 upon every freeman, or other person, who should dredge for oysters without being hired by the Mayor or the Water- bailiff, and a penalty of 40s. for trawling, or taking floating fisli, in the fisheries under the jurisdiction of ihe Corporation, except with permission. The plead- ings for tbe defendant went to establish the right of the whole of the resident burgesses', to take oysters and floating fish without obtaining such permission from the Mayor aud select body. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant on his plea of nil debet, which decides that he had not incurred the penalties; for the defendant also, on his pleas, that the bye laws were unreasonable; and for the plaintiffs, as to their claim to the right of making reasonable bye- laws. The chief question of law, arising collaterally upon the case, and which is reserved for the decision of the Courts above, vvas, whether such bodies can have, under any charter, an exclusive right to any fishery in an arm of the sea, beyond tbe manorial jurisdiction at low water- mark. Magna Charta prohibited for the future such grants of the right of fishing, and the Charter, creating the borough of Queenboiough, is of the reign of Edward III. j but lite plaintiff's in this case contend for the right, on the plea lhat it apper. tained to the manor front lime immemorial, and before Magna Charta, but had reverted to the Crown, which was entitled to re- convey the fisheries in Ihe same manner as they were held before Magna Charts. THE RUSSIAN ARMY.— The following details re- lating lo the Russian army, from Van Halen's euler mining Journey to Russia, are extremely curious, and easily account for Ihe wonderfully small expense at which Russia supports au enormous standing army: —" The colonel of a regiment in Russia is bound, both morning and evening, lo keep open lable for all his officers, pay ihe music of Ihe regiment, whether of infantry or cavalry, defray all Ihe expenses of the hospital of his cantonment, aud take charge of the handiwork of every article for the complete equipment of his regiment; so that the Emperor, or, itt other words, the crown, furnishes each regiment wilh only lite pay, arms, leathers, cloths, copper and iron, aud a certain sum for the remount of Ihe cavalry. Thus, il is calculated, in Russia, and especially in Georgia, that an infantry soldier completely equipped for war, his arms excepted, costs the government twenty- five roubles, ( assignats,) which are equivalent to £ 1 ster- ling. With respect lo Ihe colonel's table, whether he he absent or nol, il is always provided at his house, either with music or without, according to the pleasure of him who presides, « bo is the officer highest in rank. If a stranger arrives, he is always hospitably received, and placed beside Ihe president, provided only lhal he he introduced by one of the officers. On ihe other hand, the colonel lo be able lo meet the greal expenses which he incurs in thus supporting the regiment, has the right uf employing in time of peace, Ihe third pari of Ihe Iroops for bis own benefit, during certain months of the year, when Ihe military instructions are suspended. The soldiers ihen become masons, car penters, smiths, & c. or engaged in whatever occupa- tion they may be hired for j so lhat as Ihey are furnished by the colonel with suitable dresses, thai Iheir uniforms may not suffer during the lime they arc thus employed, Ihey cannot be recognised as soldiers, except by their tnuslachios. Besides, Ihere are ulways a certain nam her of Ihem employed iu Ihe regimeul in every dc scriplion of trade ; consequently, every thing lhat can possibly be wattled in the corps is made bv Ihe sol. diets." i% Ki0ceHancou0 SittfUigcncr. covered the author. The value of ihe Stakes is £'.', 250. The winner was rode hv Jiinies Robinson, Mameluke by Samuel Chifnev, aud (. aurel by T. Nicholson. For Ihe rest of the jockeys see above. English and Chinese Gambling, Whatever may be the u march of intellect" among lis, there are some points deeply affecting the well- being of a nation, on which we might with advantage lake lessons from a people whose habits and institutions our writers aud politicians are accustomed to treat with supercilious contempt, We are often told lliat while our European intellect is advancing in a 41 rapid grow ill of astonishing improvement," tbe Chinese undeistand- jiig remains stationary, and has done so for some thou- sands of years — yet if a proficiency in some of the 41 elegant vices" constitute a fair claim tu civilization, we think this ancient and peculiar people can prove to Ihe satisfaction of the most " finished circles" at the west end of ihe Ii wn, that they have purged awav the stain of original I arbarism. It appears that gambling is as favourite an accomplishment in Canton as in London, and that the region of Pall Mall and Si. Janies's- street is not belter supplied with " hells," anil their attendant demons, Ihan the fashionable places of resort in Ibe cities of the 41 Celestial Empire." There is a considerable difference, however, in the mode of treatment which this refined arl of robbery receives at CORN AVERAGES. Hints for Agriculturists in Wales. The following hints are the result of careful observation oil the basis of twenty- five years' expe- rience, fifteen of which have been tS the Principality, where the following management nas been practised with success, viz. by certain changes iii the mode of cultivation, such as the use of fallow crops, iustead of fallows ( there is a great difference iu a profitable fallow crop, and a naked fallow), and the manuring of lands at the cheapest rate. Provideuee has been very bountiful to South Wales in those materials of which manure can be made, and in my humble opinion, particularly so to Glamorganshire; for instance, there is plenty of lime, which, to make the most of, should be used in the Devonshire man- ner, where every particle of quantity and quality is preserved, which is not effected iu the common mode of application. Clay is in great abundance in many places, and fuel as. plentiful to burn it to ashes, which are a cheap manure for corn or grass lands. Peat is a vegetable production, which is convertible to manure by different means. Sea- sand is au article much used as a material in making After the Court held by the King at Windsor ou Monday, the 3d inst. for filling np the vacancies in the Cabinet, his Majesty held a Privy Council, at which the following " Order" was directed to be issued :— 14 Whereas by an act, passed in the seventh and eighth years of his present Majesty's reign, intituled, 4 An Act to make provision for ascertaining from time to time the average prices of British corn,' it is, anioncsl olher things, enacted, 4 that for the purpose of ascer- taining the average price of corn and grain sold within the United Kingdom of Great Britain aud Ireland, it shall and may be lawful for his Majesty, by anv Order or Orders to he by him made, bv and with tbe advice of his Privy Council, to direct lhal the provisions of the said Act, so far as regards the appointment of inspectors and the making of weekly returns, shall be applicable to any cities or towns within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and 1 relaml, w hicli shall be named in auy such Order or Orders in Council4 and it is ( hereby provided, 4 lhat the returns so received from such town's shall not be admitted into tlie averages made np for the purpose of regulating the bringing' into home eim- sumption of foreign corn, grain, meal, or flour-' ilis Majesty, in pursuance of Ilie said Act, and in exercise of the powers and authorities Ihereby vested in him as aforesaid, was this day pleased, by and with the advice of bis Privy Council, lo order, and it is hereby ordered, that the provisions of the said Act, so far as respects the appointment of inspectors and the making of weekly returns, shall be applicable to the several cities and tow ns hereinafter mentioned— lhat is lo say— Uxbtidge, ST.

WHITEHALL, SEPT. 17.— The King has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal, granting the dignity of Marquis of ihe United Kingdom of Greal lirilain and Ireland unto the Right Hon. William Harry Earl of Darlington, and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, by the name, style, and title of Marquis of Cleveland.

De Roos has published a 44 Personal Narrative" of his travels in lhe United Stales.— His opinion of American pulpit eloquence is not high, and religion appears to lie very little attended to iu the United States :—" We saw Ihe President of the United States, and Mr. Rush, at their devotions. In manner and appearance, Ihe clergyman bore a strong resemblance to Liston in the character of Mavvworm. The Americans have al, tered, and I think not improved, some parts of tbe Liturgy. The sermon vvas worthy of the preacher; it treated of the oppression which Ihe United Slates formerly endured while under Ihe yoke of' England, whose downfall, discomfiture, and damnation, he con- fidently predicted. He referred to Young, whose poetry he quoted copiously, and then diverged into an impious allegory. 1 was sorry lo learn that this man was considered much superior lo American preachers in general."— In another place, Air. De Roos says, 44 Oil Sunday, we accompanied some friends lo Divine Service. They took us to Ihe Episcopalian church, which is Ihe fashionable place of worship, that Ihey might have an opportunity of showing us tlie principal inhabitants. This was uot the church which Ihey generally frequented; indeed, for aught I know, lljey might have been of a different belief; but in America, religion, I am sorry lo say, seems, as far as 1 have observed, lo form but a secondary consideration. The laxity of Iheir notions upon this subject may, perhaps, be attributable lo Ihe circumstance, peculiar to the United Slates— Ilia! of Iheir not having any established religion. Oue of Ihe highest offices is filled by an Unitarian, and so unlimited is religious toleration in this country, that all American citizens are eligible lo lhat exalted station, whether Christian, Jew, or Mahometan." MANUFACTURING CELERITY.— In 1811, a gen- tleman made a bet of one thousand guineas, that he would have a coat made in the course of a single day, from the first process of shearing Ihe sheep, lill its completion by the tailor. The wager was decided at Newbury, on the 25lh of June in lhal year, by Mr. J. Coxeter, of Greeiiiiam Mills, near that town. Al five o'clock lhat morning, Sir John Throckmorton. Bart, presented two Southdown wether sheep lo Mr. Coxeter, and the sheep were shorn, Ihe wool spun, the yarn spooled, warped, loomed, and wove; and the clolh burred, milled, rowed, dried, sheared, and pressed, and put into the bauds of liie tailors by four o'clock lhal afternoon, and at twenty minutes past six Ihe coat, entirely finished, was presented by Mr. Coxeter to Sir John Throckmorton, ANTEDILUVIAN REMAINS IN THE ISLE OF SHEPPEY.— rile Isle of Sheppey is fast washing away oil the seaward side, and if steps are not hereafter laken lo remedy Ibis, possibly in a century or two hence, ils name may be required lo be obliterated from Ihe map. Whole acrcs, with houses upon Ihem, have been carried away in a single slorm, while clay shallows, sprinkled wilh sand and gravel, which stretch a full mile beyond the verge of the cliff over which the sea now sweeps, demonstrate Ihe original area of the island. From the blue clay of which the cliffs are composed, may be culled out specimens of all the fishes, trees, and fruits, which abounded in Britain before the birth of Noah; and Ihe traveller may consequently handle, though he cannot eat, fish which swam, and fruit which grew in the days of Ihe Antediluviaus, all now converted into sound slone, by Ihe petrifying qualities of Ihe soil ill which Ihey are embedded. Here are lobsters, crabs, and nautiluses, presenting almost Ihe same reality as those we now see crawling aud floating about— branches of trees, loo, in as perfect order as when lopped from their parent stems, and trunks of them, twelve feet in length, and iwo or three in diameter, fit, in all appearance, for Ihe operations of the saw, wilh great varieties of fruits, resembling more those of tropical climes Ihan of cold latitudes like ours, one species having a large kernel, will) an adherent stalk, as complete in ils parts as when newly plucked from Ihe tree lhat produced il. NEW STF. AM AND HEATED- AIR ENGINE.— Mr. Minus Ward, of Baltimore, has invented a new species of engine, the principle of w hich consists iii employing, in whole or in part, the air which becomes heated in passing through the fire of the furnace, together with the elastic fluids or gases, 1 the products of combustion. By various methods which we need not describe particularly, as, for example, a pneumatic forcing pump placed oil the top of the boiler, and connected with the furnace by a pipe and valves, this air and those elastic fluids are forced into the boiler, either above or below the surface of the water in it, and mix with the steam. The effect of these agents, which ordinarily escape through the chimney, and are lost, is to give out a portion of their caloric to the steam; and the tem- perature of the mixture will be higher than that of the steam before the injection of the gases; there is, therefore, a corresponding increase ofthe elastic force. It will be perceived that Mr. Ward's im- provement, like that of Perkins, will cause tbe temperature and the pressure of the steam to pre- serve a more uniform proportion to each other, and thus prevent the accidents imputed, by our ingenious countrymen abroad, to the difference often existing between them.— Mr. Ward states, that there is, by this engine, a saving in fuel of sixty per cent.; and it is an important advantage, that this improvement may be attached, at a small expense, to most engines now in use.— American-. GAMBLING— Mr. Alderman Floud having received information that a gang of professed gamblers had assembled al Ihe billiard. room of William Strong, in Castle- street, ou Wednesday night last, sent a party of constables lo the place, where Ihey seized a board, and olher paraphernalia, al which liiey were playing Ihe game of un, deux, cinq, besides £ 120. 16s. in gold and silver, aud look into custody two dashing personages, named John Durton and George Rulter, with three others who appeared lo be concerned, named James Jacobs, Richard Coombs, and George Franks. The two foimer deposited £ 100 in the hands of Mr. Alderinati Flond, as surety for their appearance, and which accordingly took place Oft Thursday. It was stated in evidence, by Mr. Higgs, the constable, and some persons whom curiosity induced to witness the play, thai money had passed from one person to another— lhat the gentlemen present were invited by Mr. Durton and Mr. Rotter, who were the conductors of the game, to lake wine; and lhat the place had, in fact, every appearance of a regular gaming- house. Mr. Strong, in his examina- tion, slaled that Durton hired the room of hhn during Ihe races ; it was not the room in which he keeps his billiard- table, but one immediately under it. Taylor, the constable, deposed tu his having seized the table : thai, upon ihe entrance of the constable, a general scuffle ensued, some of the candles were put out, aud lhat he found Ihe Iwo balls, which were produced wilh Ihe lable, & c. in the grate, covered with paper shavings. Mr. Furlong, who attended on behalf of the defendants, raised several objections to Ihe man- ner in which his clients had heen proceeded against, as irregular and illegal, uo copy of information having been furnished, nor any specific charge brought against Ihem upon which thev could be fairly brought to trial. Mr. Gidley, the Depuly Town Clerk, said il was only a preliminary proceeding lo a prosecution that would be entered against Ihe party at the Sessions; and in consequence of which, Mr. F. de- clined entering further itilo any defence of tbe trans- action. Messrs. Durton and Ruder were bound over lo answer at the Sessions the charge of keeping a gaming- table, themselves in £ 100 and a surely in £ 25. The sporting gentlemen, we are told, immediately on quitting the Hall; drove off to the race course in a post chaise, to pursue their avocations. They applied to tbe worthy Alderman for their apparatus, as they intended to be at Doucaster Races on the following Monday ; but which the Alderman very prudently declined complying with.— Exeter Alfred. THE POTATO IN DANGER.— The Plymoutk Journal gives an account of a series of endeavours lhat have been made, or are now makiug, within the knowledge of the editor of lhal paper, lo naturalize in England a root called Ihe arracacha, of South American nativity, as a substitute for the potato, it being represented of superior quality, though of Ihe same nature as the potato. There is at present growing in the garden of Mr. James Low, North Berwick, a pofato that was planted whole, the stems of which cover closely a space of ground six feet eight inches diameter, or forty- four feel three inches, four parts square. It is likely Ihe gross produce will be made known to the public. Nine years ago an experiment of the same sort was tried by Mr. Dougald Campbell, head- gardener to Sir John Maxwell, when in all oue hundred and one potatoes were lurned up, which exaclly filled a Lancashire peck, weighing, of course, forty- one pounds, Wheu will our Legislators know how to enact good laws, and abide hy them! Instead of the laws which they do enact resting on those bases which alone can give litem stability, we are hearing every session of some capricious and vexatious changes. The brewers and mallsters have now a trap laid for them. We would not have Ihe trouble merely lo learn the perplexing laws enacted for that description of traders for a considerable share of their profits j much more to be under the continued necessity of seeing that oneself or servants do nol, by mistake, neglect lo comply with their provisions, by which they may, in sixty- one different ways, incur penalties of from £ 50 to £ 300. What is the use of placing all' these difficulties in the way of trade? Is it to deceive people into ruinous furfeilures to augment the revenue? If so, it is a disgraceful means of doing it ; and we are unable to ascribe to tbe enactment of such laws more plausible molives.— Bath Journal. POISONS.— Dr. Lempriere, in his Popular Lec- tures, speaking of the " poisons which produce their effect on the animal system by being previ- ously received into the stomach," observes,— 44 These substances, wliich are derived from the animal, the vegetable, and the mineral kingdoms, act very variously upon different individuals and upon different animals; indeed so much so, that in some animals the smallest- proportions are produc- tive of the most baneful consequences, while ii, i others they are taken with impunity; and many of the vegetable tribes in particular, which, in their natural state, are the most active poisons, by culi- nary and other processes are rendered a luxurious nutritive diet. This circumstance serves to confirm an observation made in a former paper, that none of the substances denominated poisons are without their use, in the arts, in medicine, or in domestic economy. In the animal kingdom, many ofthe fish tribe, which have a direct poisonous effect upon some individuals, may be taken with impunity by others; and many substances are eaten by quadru- peds aud birds, which are uniformly poisonous to man ; while particular articles which are favourable to the human constitution, prove immediately de- structive to the brute speeics. Aloes, which to man is an useful, drug, has been found to kill dogs and foxes; and the sweet almond, one ofthe luxuries of our table, is poison to cats. The phellandrium aquaticum, or water fennel, while it is fatal to horses, is eaten greedily by oxen. The bird pepper, from which cayenne is prepared, and which is only used in the smallest proportions as a condiment by the human subject, forms tbe principal article o" f food to the wild parrot, which picks out the seeds that are strongest ill preference to every other, as we have often witnessed in the West Indies. The land crab of St. Domingo feeds on the leaves of the manchineel tree, which to every other animal is an active poison; and many other illustrations might be offered in confirmation of the variable operation of the vegetable poisons upon different animals. The articles, therefore, which uniformly are de- structive of animal life, are very limited indeed; though the human subject appears to be susceptible ofthe operation of an extensive range of substances, from which most of the brute species are more or less exempt." LATIN AND LABOUR.— The following anecdote was related by the late John Adams, even to the last days of his life, with all that good humour which was so characteristic of him, and it is pre- sumed has not yet passed away from the miuds of many who have heard it from his own lips:— ( t When I was a boy I bad to study the Latin grammar, but it was dull, and I hated it. My father was anxious to send me to college, and therefore I studied the grammar till I could bear with it no longer ; and going- to my father, I told him I did not like study, and asked for some other employment. It was opposing his wishes, and he was quick in his answer. 4 Well, John,' said he, 4 if Latin grammar does not suit you, you may try ditching, perhaps that will; my meadow yonder needs a ditch, and you may put by Latin aud try that.' This seemed a delightful change, and to the meadow I weut. But I soon found ditching harder than Latin; aud the first foreuoon was the longest I ever experienced. That day I ate the bread of labour, and glad was I when night came on. That night 1 made some comparison between Latin grammar and ditching, but said not a word about it. Idug the next forenoon, and wauted to return to Latin at dinner, but it was humiliating, and I could not do it. At night toil conquered pride, and I told my father ( one of the sevevest trials of my life) lhat, if he chose, I would go back to Latin grammar.
