LON l> OIV- SATUHDA Y. The Gazette de France of Monday's date, contains an article, dated the Banks of the Dwina, Dec. 26, w hich seems intended to prepare the way for Russia stepping forwardto settle theTurkishquestion, in the name, a d as the agent of the other Allied Powers. ~ The circular note of Count Nesselrode addressed to the diplomatic corps at St Petersburg!), on the Subject of the Battle of Navarin, is given in the latest German papers. In this communication, the Emperor INieho'as fully adheres to the professions which he made on entering into the Treaty of Pacification, and it is understood that, after the rejection of the proposals of the Allied Powers by the Porte^ a second circular was addressed fo the diplomatic body iu Ihe Russian capital, in which the same disinterested sentiments are repeated. it is now stated, that Mr. Stratford Canning- has Arrived at Corfu, in place of Malta, as at first re- ported. The Comet has reached Malta, with his family- and tag gage; and a letter from Naples, of the 8ih inst. states that Mr. Canuing has arrived safely at the former island. ' i lie Austrian Obser ver of the 14th inst. which arrived this morning, contains a letter from Smyrna, dated December 27, by which it appears that the • intention at first manifested by the French and English Ambassadors, to allow the Consuls of their nalio.. s in Turkey to continue their functions, had Vv en abandoned. A deputation of French mer chants had waited upon Count Guilleminot at Vourla, and received from him this intimation similar communication had, it appears, been made by Mr. Canning to the English merchants. An implication also made to these Ambassadors by the merchants, to declare Smyrna a neutral port, met with no success; but it is stated that they are so satisfied with the assurances of protection made by fiie Tui kish authorities, that they intend to remain at Smyrna. According to accounts from Bucharest, dated the 4tli inst. a numerous meeting of the chief men at Constantinople took place at the Mufti's. The Reis EttWidi is said to have made a frank disclosure of the actual relations of the Porte with the three Powers, concluding his speech by exhorting the assembly to s: ive as/ rank an opinion, and to vote according. to their conscience. The situation of the Porte, beina- truly stated, was not flattering, and t-!> e majority of the assembly agreed with the Reis EHVndi in ihe different means of conciliation which be proposed. L'Mters were this morning received from Vera Cruz of the 6? h of December, two days later than the previous intelligence. They are unfavourable as to trade, and' the letters appear to have been written the latest hour of the vessel's sailing, for the purpose of preventing the shipment of goods to Mexico, on account of the languid trade and the unsettled slate of the country.

Having mentioned the determination, expressed last Session, by the Earl of ELDON, to retire from public life, we fear we shall have soon, if we have not now, to announce a similar resolution on the part of his brother, Lord STOWFLL. When we mention the name of Lord StowFXL, we speak of a man who, perhaps, is more profoundly versed in the Law of Nations than any oilier man in Europe. In his difficult situation he was able— rare felicity !— to unite all suffrages in his favour. He was " so clear in his great office"— so acute, so judieiotis, so just, that he left even foreign nations, and foreign suitors in his Court, without the power, almost even without the disposition, to complain. Glorious it is for a country to have given birth to such men, and justly may a family pride itself, upon having two of its members raise themselves, by their taients, to the most eminent and important offices in the State. It is only in our own beloved Country that such instances occur. With respect to the Earl of WESTMORELAN D, his Lordship, after " a long official life, is desirous not to stand in the way of any new settlement that may be thought most beneficial for the public service, in a new arrangement of his Majesty's Government. His Lordship has only been ambitious of office be. cause office enabled him to afford a more decisive proof of the sincerity and constancy of his attach ment to the principles of Mr. PITT. Lord L. OWTHF. R cannot be spared from public life; to great acuteness he adds great knowledge of business aud indefatigable activity. It is well for a country when the members of its most illustrious families, and the heirs to large possessions, are desirous of devoting their time and talents to the service of the State. That Lord LOWTHER is offended with the Duke of WELLINGTON, on ac- count of the Peerage bestowed upon Mr. LAMRTON, is an idle story. His Lordship can no more be offended with it, than he would be to hear that Mr. LAMBTON is the loudest Singer of Ohovy ID fen ce of any man between Durham aud Dundee. The Session of Parliament will be opened to- morrow by a Speech, in his Majesty's name delivered by Lords Commissioners. The LORD CHANCELLOR and Earl BATHURST are spoken o as two of the Commissioners. Writs will be moved in the House of Commons for such of the Ministers in the Cabinet, and out, as have seats in the House. It is probable that on account of the necessary absence of the Cabinet Ministers in the Commons, the debate in the House of Lords ( unless it be thought proper to resort to an adjournment of all debate upon the new changes, till the Cabinet Ministers in the Commons are re- elected), will be more interesting and important. Lord CHICHESTER moves the Address in the House of Lords. The Hon. C. JENKINSON moves the Address in the House of Commons, and Mr. R. GRANT seconds it. We might now refrain from entering into a larger field of premature speculation and conjecture, as to the first proceedings of the new Cabinet. The country would be glad to find the re- establishment of the Yeomanry Corps amongst their earliest measures— the expense was comparatively small— the services they rendered were of great importance— disturbances were put an end to with little or no bloodshed— and the rioters themselv were more persuaded to listen to reason aud remonstrances from men living in their neighbour- hood, to whom they were generally known, and with whom many of them were connected by ties of relationship, or by commercial dealings. The disbanding of the Yeomanry Corps was a curious commentary upon the Whig principle of hatred of a standing army. The public mind has already been prepared for the return of our troops from Portugal. Orders have just been issued for that purpose. The transports will sail immediately from Plymouth. The following- are the destinations of the different corps: The Cavalry, Guards, Artillery, the Royal Staff Corps, the Waggon Train, the 63d Foot, arid 1st Battalion of the 60th Rilie Corps, are ordered to England. The 4th Regiment of Infantry is ordered to Scotland. The Royal Welsh Fuzileers, and the 43d I ight Infantry, are ordered to proceed to Gibraltar) the 11th Regiment of Foot is ordered to Corfu; and the 10th Regiment of Infantry to Malta.

JAN. 23, 1S2S. [ From the Standard.] We may now regard the ministry as fully installed in office, and iu effectual opeialion ; and it is not w ithuut instruction to observe the effect of the change upon the feelings of the different interests which con- stilule that complex and vaiied iamih— the British nation. If we commence our investigation near borne with the commercial and monied interest, observing the usual index, we shall find that the change is, on the whole, gratifying, though not altogether so agreeabh- as il was anticipated lhat it would be. Upon the dissolution of the late Cabinet, w. hen a complete reaction— a decided change lo pure Tory principles was expected, the price of ( he. Three per Cent. Consols rose from 81 or 82 to 86, and, we believe, at one time, 87. Il was announced that Mr. Huskisson, Mr, Grant, and the Earl of Dudley were lo remain in office— the effect was instantaneous and unequivocal — ihe prices of ihe public securities fell to 84 : they have since rallied a little, but have nut yet approached [ be pure Tory or ultra Tory price. We have no so compendious test of the public feeling throughout the country; but in the provin- cial journals, and in a very extensive body of correspondents, we have as ample means of ascer- taining- the public confidence in the new government. The analogy between the feeling cf the country with that ofthe monied interest seems to be perfect. The gratification at the change is universal, though universally alloyed with the sense that it has not been so complete a change as it might have been with advantage lo the country. BIRTH.

It is rumoured that Mr. Manners Sutton will be advanced to the Peerage, and that Mr. C. W. Williams Wynn will succeed him as Speaker of the House of Commons. NUPTIAL FESTIVITIES.— It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm with which the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Denbigh have celebrated the auspicious event of Mr. Price, of Brynbella's marriage to Miss Griffith, of Gam. The bells of the several churches in the Vale of Clwyd continued their merry peals through- the whole of the happy day and the following one. Ou the evening of Monday, the town of Denbigh and some of the adjoining villages were most brilliantly illuminated ; in Denbigh there was scarcely a pane of glass which did not exhibit a taper in honour of this interesting event. Immense bonfires blazed on the summits of the Clwydian ranges, and many in the vale of a more humble nature were surrounded by groups of merry villagers, who in their turn felt anxious to testify their respect for the amiable young couple; abundance of the soul- inspiring beverage of the country was liberally distributed among them. With an excellent and truly benevo- lent disposition, and which upon every occasion he never fails to elicit for the welfare and happiness of the poor, this worthy young gentleman has directed that the sum of £ 60 be equally distributed among the most necessitous of the several parishes of Henllan, Denbigh, Llanrhaiadr, Llanychan, Tre- meirchion, and Hope. The exhibition of fire- works which took place at the town cross of Denbigh excited the admiration of a very numerous assem- blage of spectators, and reflects great credit upon those who had the management of them. The rooms of the various inns were crowded with friends and well- wishers, particularly at the Crown and the Bull, where the healths of the young couple were drank with an indescribable warmth and enthusiasm. The various meetings were kept up with great spirit until a late hour, when each one separated with a hearty good wish for the uninterrupted happiness, long life, aud prosperity of the excellent young couple, w hose nuptials they this day met to celebrate. The following Letter. is published by Direc- tion of the Churchwardens of the Parish of Saint Chad. SIR, In conformity with our letter of December 10th, 1S27, we have now to state to you the way in which we inteud to proceed in the completion of our undertaking to erect a Chapel of Ease in Frankwell, and to provide in doing so against imposing any burden upon the Parish now or here- after on account ofthe same. His Majesty's Commissioners have intimated their intention of making a grant of £ 2000 towards the work upon certain prescribed conditions: namely, that the building shall be capable of accommodating 700 persons; that such proportion as shall be deemed necessary shall be reserved for free sittings; that the plan and estimate shall be approved by their Board ; that the site shall be provided by the Contributors, and also be ap- proved by the Bonrd; that the remaining expense of building shall be defrayed by the Contributors, who shall also undertake for the enclosure of the site and the fitting- up of the Chapel for Consecra- tion ; and that the amount to be contributed from the Subscription Fund shall be paid during the progress ofthe work, leaving the sum granted by the Board to be paul last. With this liberal offer it is our intention fo clor.- And by means of this grant, added to the sums which the Subscribers have severally engaged to furnish, we mean to pledge ourselves as follows: — The Chapel shall be built, the Site fenced in, the Approaches made, every requisite provided for the due performance of Divine Service^- and the expenses of Consecration, paid out o? tire above funds and such voluntary subscriptions as may yet come in, and no demand made upon'the parish for any rate for these purposes or for any of them. But we have nothing to do with providing any burial- ground, nor wifl we fence or enclose any burial- ground should it be provided by any other parties. — In order to prevent future demands, we have resolved and pledge ourselves further, to set apart fro n the subscription money the sum of £ 400, which, under the best legal advice which we can procure, shall be vested in Trustees, to accu- mulate till such time as it shall be wanted, and Ihe interest thenceforth to be appropriated to the sole purpose of repairing and keeping clean the Church. We have made enquiry and examined accounts of the actual cost for repairs of churches in the t » righbourhood, and we fully believe that the above sum will prove amply sufficient to indemnify the parish against ordinary repairs and all probable contingencies. Indeed our only fear is, that in an anxious wish to obviate objections we may have gone too far. But we have given to the whole • aibject the best consideration in our power; and having done so, we put the result into your bands, to bo ( submitted to the Public in any way which may seem to you most advisable. But having done this, we must repeat that we are not, and do not consider ourselves as being, amenable to the Parish, whose Committee we are not, and with whose money we are not entrusted. In common with the geueral body of Contributors to this work we mean to do good to the Parish and not evil, and to confer a benefit without clogging it with a burden; find we are thankful in having reason to believe that our motives are justly appreciated by the majority, and that our conduct is very generally approved. We <- re not so foolish as to expect to please every body, nor shall we be so weak as to relinquish our plans because some may be dissatisfied. If we attempt any thing illegal, the parties aggrieved will have their legal remedy: and we shall now proceed to the execution of our trust, according to the best of our judgment and discretion, without pledging ourselves to any further public explanation. We beg, Sir, to present to yourself and your Brother Churchwardens our cordial thanks, for the kindness and courtesy which we have experienced from you in this affair. Ou behalf of the Committee, F.

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. [ From the Bristol Journal ] Public expectation is still anxiously directed towards the official announcement of the members, whom his Majesty will approve as the successors to the runaway Cabinet. Such a flagrant instance of cowardice, and desertion of public duties, never, we think, before occurred iu the annals of Britain. More than once we told our Whig and Liberal EditorS'that such a discordant Ministry could not last till the first of April; but we were not, we own, prepared for their late very sudden dissolution. Thankful, indeed, we are, that they are gone; for durinerthe eight months that they weie in office, we will defy their admirers to mention one single act which they performed which has been beneficial to the country, or upon which posterity will pronounce a panegyric.— Upon their probable successors we shall not, this week, say much. All that is certainly known at the time we are writing, is that the Duke of Wellington will be I'remief, and Mr. Peel will be one of his colleagues. Under their guidance, one of the greatest interests of the. country will certainly be safe from the projects of the reformers, viz. the Protestaiif Establishment; and the assur- ance of this will go far with us to lend this adminis- tration our feeble support., Of the Duke himself too, as Premier, we are inclined to think more highly as a politician, than many do, or than his own modesty once allowed him to think. The manner in which it is well known his Grace governed Spain and her finances during the Penin- sular campaigns, as well as Conducted her armies; his intimate and personal knowledge of the internal affairs of almost every Court of Europe ; and above all, the peculiar tact with which, as the greatest General of the age, he must, as it were, have amalgamated men's minds and tempers convince us that in the present dislocation of political parties, his was the master mind alone that, out of so many disjointed elements, could form a Cabinet likely to rescue the country from the perils to which she has been reduced, by intriguers, by theorists, by place hunters, and political apostates. We are alarmed, we own, at the continuance of Mr. Huskisson amongst them: in his new situation as Colonial Secretary, we think the recent occurrences in Jamaica have shewn that his rash. Councils are as likely to prove as injurious to the colonial interests as his theoretical and free trade principles have been to our commerce and manufactures. But we are assured from very good authority, that he is " bound over to keep the peace;"— that he has consented to retrace many of his steps— that he has pronrised nf> longer to oppose the Petitions of the Ship- owners for a Committee of Enquiry ; that new and still higher prohibitory duties are to be imposed on the importation of many articles of foreign pro duce; that the Small Note Bill is to be repealed— the Country Bankers conciliated— the Branch Banks discouraged— the Agriculturists protected— and ( he West India Colonies preserved to the mother coun- try. In short, that the experiments and errors of the last five years are to be expiated by a frank and ample avowal of a return to that policy of our ances- tors, under which this country prospered and grew to be the first maritime nation in the world. By the acts of the Ministers alone we arc sure the country will decide upon them— and should they not find themselves strong enough in the present state of the House of Commons, where liberalism, judging from its complexion during the last Session, has taken up its strong hold, we trust an appeal will instantly be made to the people by a dissolution of Parliament. The country is too severely suffering under distress not to shake off the quacks by whom she has been so ignorantly and severely physicked, and to select those who will restore her to a sane and wholesome regimen. Army; but it is understood that that will not be the case. On this topic occasion has been seized with avidity to stigmatize his Grace, and by a certain portion of the public Press language of no measured abuse has been lavished upon liim for the supposed assumption of two incompatible offices. A Tittle time will clear up tliis point. Of his acquirements in diplomatic science 110 question can be entertained. The other iinrn- s which form the ministerial list are chiefly those of characters who have been tiied, and whose capability is not doubted. This, with integrity of intention, will unquestionably secure ( he confidence of theCountrff, and even the cutting sarcasm of Mr. Brougham will fall harmless to the ground when raised lit opposi- tion to statesmen of known steady intention, and of undaunted perseverance In the path which they have with prudent foresight adopted. The venera- able l ord Eldon does not appear to have auy specific duty assigned to him; but his wisdom and experience must ever render him a valuable addition to auy body of Ministers.

Also, of the sauie Size tud Price, the COUNTI ES of GROVE HOUSE, KINGSLAND, NEAR SHREWSBURY. Since the commencement of the y? ar which has just elapsed, it has been the extraordinary fate of England to have her affairs administered by no less than four Cabinets, every one of them differing more or less from the others. Of the strength of the Ministry it is not easy to speak decidedly. It will soon be tried. If they can obtain a decent majority in the Commons— they calculate on a hundred— it is said that they will go on with the present House. If they cannot there will be an instant dissolution. In the Lords, it is supposed, they will have nothing to fear. No small part of the difficulty in bringing about the liefvv Ministerial arrangements is said to have arisen from the deficiency of practised orators and debaters on the side of the party which is now to come again Into power. We can easily imagine this to be the case, though it is much to be regretted that it should be so. What the country wants now are doers, and not talkers; and provided the new Administration have the honesty and the courage to adopt a plain straightforward course, having the true interests of the country in view, it will not be all the talking of their opponents which will be able to hoodwink and deceive the judgment of the public as to the character of their measures.— The arrangenjeuts in the new Ministry, which appear least liked by any party, are the union of the offices of Premier and Commander- in- Chief— and the ex- clusion of Mr. Herries from the Chancellorship of the Exchequer.

[ From the Manchester Chronicle."] The dismissed Whig Ministers tendered their seals of olfii'e to the King on Tuesday, at Windsor, and their successors subsequently had the honour of an audience with His Majesty, and kissed hands upon their appointment. As must be expected on an occasion in which every man has a right to feel an interest, very great latitude of opinion has been expressed, and much that is of an unfavourable and indeed of a repugnant quality has been mopt freely uttered to* raise doubts of the stability of the new Government. Under the trying and unforeseen circumstances of the country, with respect to its Executive for the last twelve months, such views may be excused. To say nothing of the interrup- tions which have arisen in its policy from the awful visitations upon great men by the infii tions of Providence, there has been an unsettledness in public affairs from other causes of no common kind. A principle has seemed to be wanting upon which the feelings of the People could concentrate, and repose their great agricultural and commercial trusts with confidence. This obtained, all the intri - cate channels of private and public exertion would be duly maintained, and the general tide of affairs flow on with steadiness, for individual and national advantage. We hope now that such a state of things is attainable; that a developement of the objects and intentions of his Majesty's new Advisers will open to the Country a prospect of so stable and satisfactory a nature, as to make it obviously a duty to confide in and to support them. Let this ground be established, and every thing that is advantageous will arise frrm it The Country wiil be respected abroad, and security will strengthen her domestic exertions. She has the immense advantage of having h? r sceptre wielded by a King, whose mind is etsnobled by valuable acquirement and patriotic feeling, and who at every step in the late eventful times has evinced no desire but that of promoting the satisfactions of those whom it is his high destiny to govern. Party distinctions have had no countenance in his great views, but to obtain as his servants those who were most likely to administer efficaciously the trusts to be reposed in them has alone been the object of his paternal care and solicitude. iN'o doubt his Majesty has had his mind deeply exercised by the revolutions in the Cabinet which have so rapidly succeeded to each other, and by the other fluctuations in national affairs by which they have been so signally marked. At last, however, the point may be arrived at which is to fix these considerations, and the King may be relieved from every responsibility but that of giying the Royal signet in fulfilment of his official duties. The Duke of Wellington has been honoured by his Sovereign with the task of forming the new Admi- nistration, and his Grace is the acknowledged Prime Minister. Mr. Peel, who is the pride of his countrymen, and respected by all parties, resumes his situation of Secretary of State for the Home Department. From such men an adherence to sound principles will be strictly expected, and may be assuredly relied upon. The Constitution iu Church and State will be maintained inviolable. Their abilities, their knowledge, and their experi- enced qualifications justify the presumption, that no point will be conceded except in unison with the wishes of the Country. The Ministry are to act upon the principles of that of the lamented Lord Liverpool, and will possibly have acquired a more determined character, for firmness. A jealousy has been strongly expressed of theDuke of Wellington's retaining the situation of Commander- in- Chief of the iX^ scdUnecms UntclUgzncc. BANKERS' PARCEL LOST OR. STOLEN—- On the arrival of the Doncaster co; ich, yesterday morning, it was discovered that a paicel of bank note's, directed to Messrs. Walkers, Eyre, and Stanley, bad been abstract- ed from the place in which it was deposited. The sum contained in the parcel is £ 12,000.— Sheffield Inde- pendent. PRESTON GREAT HORSE FAIR—- This annual horse show, on Monday, was a good one, but by no means so numerous as we have witnessed upon former occasions. Business became general on Tuesday morning ; good carriage- horses, hacks, and. hunters fetched good prices.' Mr. Henderson, of Lo'wthiftugiiy Cumberland, had a very valuable lot of horses, two of iVhich brought 510 guineas, and four others of the same u string" were sold for 80 guineas each. Mr. C. Johnston, of Sedgwick, near Kendal, had an excellent lot — one horse in particular, a beautiful chesnut, was generally allowed by the best judges to be the finest shaped animal in the fair, and was sold at a very great price. Mr. Cragg, of Arkholm, near Kirby Lons- dale, had a lot of eight horses, for which he asked G00 guineas. The highest priced horse sold during the fair, belonged to a gentleman named Hodgson, and brought 130 guineas; he is a five- year- old colt, and is certainly a most beautiful animal, full of bone and action. More dealers were present than has been known for many years, and on the whole, prices for good horses may be considered as very good. A fact came to our knowledge, which we consider of no trifling importance, as shewing the amazing sums of money which are put in circulation by the persons attending the different fairs, markets, and trysts ( as our Scottish friends call them) of the country. Mr. H. ( one of the largest and most respectable horse- dealers in this country), in the last twelve months, had expended no less a sum than £ 2,300 in mere travelling expenses for horses and their keepers. How great then must be the sum expended by the horse- dealers of the kingdom in the course of the yeyr j mid how much do our political economists owe them for thus " operating-" upon the circulating medium Westmoreland A dvertiser. ROGUERY AND DREADFUL MURDER!— Early this ( Sunday) morning-, about two o'clock, the neighbours and watchmen in Marlborough- buildiogs were alarnaed by the reports of pistols and repeated cries of murder which were found to proceed from a will do w of No. 16, in the above- named btiildings. On the arrival of the watchmen and others, and having gained an entrance, a dreadful spectacle presented itself, the servant— a fine younsr woman, nearly 30 years of age, was lying on the floor in the kitchen, with her throat cut from ear to ear, quite dead The servant who had fired the pistols, was in his bed- room, and the door screwed together; the servant was awakened by the noise of the screwing, and fired first of all through the key- hole. The thieves, it appears, nothing daunted by this, had not only committed the horrid murder above described, but had regaled themselves with what wines a'nd spirits they could meet with in the kitchen, and packed up several things ready to carry off; but, in consequence of the arrival of the watchmen and some of the neighbours, it is supposed that they decamped without any plunder. The poor servant, it appears, had not retired to bed, and had come down stairs alone for the purpose of getting some water to wash her feet; but the mistress and like- wise the man- servant had been at bed some time. The darkness of the night favoured the escape of the robbers, which was, no doubt, effected through the field at the back of the house. The alarm has been dreadful for Airs. Cox, the inhabitant of the house, who is a lady highly respected. She and her two servants were the only persons in the house. The murderers had left a large bludgeon by the side of their victim.— Bath Journal. We mentioned in a former number a fact of much antiquarian and local interest— tlie singular dis- covery of a quantity of ancient family plate; in sinking the flour of a potatoe cave in the grounds of Thomas Splatt, Esq of Brixton : the plate has since been exhibited at the Herald's College, in London, to identify the arms, which are very perfect in all the pieces ( 30 in number), and prove to be those of Sir Christopher Harris, an ancestor of the Harris family, of Radford, quartered with those ofhis wives, of whom he had three. This gentleman, according to Prince's Worthies of Devon, lived at Radford, A. I). 1600, which has been the seat of this family uninteruptedly for nearly 400 years, and he repre- sented Plymouth in Parliament, in the 26th of the reign of Elizabeth. ' I he inquest in behalf of the crown has, we hear, been suspended hy orders from the Treasury, and as Mr. Splatt has handsomely ceded his claim to the property, as owner of the land, we hope to hear that this interesting and valuable family relic has passed into the hands of the representative of the family, John Harris, Esq. the present possessor of Radford. The plate we have not seen, but we hear it is richly chased in the old style, gilded at the edges; it was, no doubt, buried nearly 200 years since, during the disturbed period of the civil war, Major- General Harris, great nephew of Sir Christopher Harris above alluded to, having had a command in the royal army at the siege of Plymouth.— Flymouth Journal. LOMHARDY POPLARS.— About IS or 20 years since Lomburdy poplar trees came in vogue, and a rage for their culture, as ornamental, became almost universal throughout the country. Soon after, a swarm of caterpillars, and other insects before unknown, made their appearance, and made great havoc among the garden vegetables, as well as among *. he fruit trees. The peach trees nearly all died, the grape vines declined, the cherries on the cherry trees were stung, and became wormy and useless ; the apples became nurly, and all other kinds of fruit more or less injured. The poplar, however, on trial, was found a poor sub- stitute for other ornamental trees, producing and fostering a variety of untold numbers of insects, and affording poor fuel* The cultivation of them has, in a great measure, been abandoned, since which the peach tree has recruited, and the fruits improved. May not the disasters alluded to, be attributed to the introduction of the poplar? Under the fullest conviction of their disastrous effects, 1 have destroyed all under my controul; and I hope all others who have them will follow my example, and supply their places with the sugar maple tree, which affords a beautiful shade, excludes all kinds of insects, grows in an elegTmt conical form, and in autumn displays a foliage excelling all other forest trees, and outvieing many of the plants of the flower- garden. — Agricola. Amongst the bandages of the Egyptian mummy presented to the Philosophical Hall in this town, by the late John Blayds, Esq. a small piece of red leather has been lately found, stamped with hiero- glyphic characters, which determine the date of this interesting monument of antiquity. They are the Royal Legend of Remeses V. the Amenophis — Memophis of the Greek writers, the father of the gn; at Sesostris, and the last Monarch of Maoetho's 18th dynasty of the Kings of Egypt. He ascended the throne of the Pharaohs iu the year 1493, B. C. The individual, therefore, whose remains are s'ill in so perfect a state of preservation, was the co. item- porary of Moses, and officiated as incense- bearer anil scribe to the shrine of the God Mandon, at Thebes, in Upper Egypt, more than 3,300 years ago. — Leeds Intelligencer. It was reported on Change on Friday that a mer- chant of eminence had suddenly departed for the continent to avoid the payment of certain pecuniary claims upon him, the validity of which he do? s not admit, but wishes to avoid the personal incon- venience that might attend non compliance—[ A private letter adds—" The person represented as an eminent merchant 1u the city, who has absented himself, and who has gone to tlie Continent, appears to have been involved in some proceedings con- nected with the numerous schemes which wore issued between1 two and three years since, and not embarrassed by commercial affair*, as his bills can be discounted without the least difficulty iu the city. Besides the firm referred to, a number of others of high standing on the Royal Exchange are dailjf threatened with actions at law by those who have clainrs on the different companies fuVm » d during ( he share mania in 1825 "] THE MARC. I OK INTELLECT.— At the Bath D; « triet Meeting of the Incorporated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, Sir Abraham Elton, in the course of an able speech said, " Another' jargon he should notice, and that was the march of intellect." Now he was one of those who thought that intellect mi- rht march too far. It might march too far, when it dared to outstep the bounds which Goi> had placed for its enquiries. To promote the march of such intellect a College had been founded fn the metropolis of this kingdom, upon the avowed system of discarding all religion ; nay, in open defiance to the religion of this country. It was a thin* so anomalous, that a parallel could not be found to it in the annals of the world. " If we," saitf the Hon. Bart. " desert the path marked out by our ancestors, and by all wise and religious men, heathens as well as christi- ans, since the beginning of the world, of making religion the basis and crown of all education, of all knowledge, we do not, we cannot deserve the blessing of heaven upon our labours." REQUEST TO POOR CLERGYMEN.— The severe distress to which Clergymen with small stipends are often exposed, renders it an act of duty to pub- lish whatever may tend to relieve it. Perhaps it is scarcely known beyond the precincts of the parish of Christ Church, in the comity Surrey, that si benevolent inhabitant of that parish, the late Mr, William Bovce, some time since bequeathed to the Rector and Churchwardens of Christ Church, the several sums of £ 2,666.13 » . 4d. and £ 2,215 stock i, i the 3 per Cent. Consols, and also £ 1000 ill the 3 per Cent. Reduced, in trust, to distribute ope moiety of the dividends arising thefefroiift' to poor distressed Clergymen of the Ch'tfrch of England. No restric- tion or limitation' as to locality is annexed to this charitable bequest, and the worthy distributors of the bounty are only anxious to impart it where it is most needed. MARCH OF AUDACITY!— During' the trials of the prisoners at the late Worcestershire Sessions, some operators contrived to abstract the woodert steps from the County Van, just after it had deposited a load of prisoners! It appears by the provincial papers that the fall of snow has been very great in the North, and the mails have in many instances been prevented front reaching the places of their destination till three or four hours after the time. The mail from Perth was unable to complete its journey on Wednesday morn-' ing, and the bags were forwarded by the guard on horseback. One of the horses in the vehicle Was so completely immersed in " a wreath of snow," that six hours elapsed before he could be extri- cated. Though much inconvenience was experi- enced, we do not see that any fatal accideut occurred. MARCH OF C0ACHIHC.— One of the fast coaches between Liverpool and . Manchester is said, by way of experiment, to have changed horses - lately in thirty four tec& itdi-* there being, it seems, no less than seven persons employed in the operation. The rapidity with which these eoachcs travel is really frightful to witness; and we only wonder, among the numerous coach accidents that daily meet our eye iu the public prints, that some do not occur to the " fast" coaches between Manchester and Liverpool. CAPTURE OF BASE COIN.— On Wednesday last, upon information given to Mr. Miller, he des- patched two ofhis active officers ( Riley and Gaskell) to trace two persons who were suspected to have a quantity of counterfeit money in their possession, and they succeeded in apprehending Michael M'Douald and Catherine M'Lean, on board the Corsair, going to Belfast, with seven papers, con- taining 1120 base shillings and 242 basehalfcrowns, in their possession. They were yesterday fully committed for trial.— Liverpool Paper. DREADFUL FIRF..— Five Lireilost.—^ ne neigh- bourhood of Crutehed Friars was on Thursday morniug thrown into great consternation by the alarm of fire having been given. The conflagration has not proved so destructive of property as it h; w in the loss of life, not less thau five inmates of the house having been b unit to death< The fire broke out at about half- past two o'clock, at the French Horn public- house, in Hart- street, Outched Friars, and such was the rapid spread of the flames, that but few of the inmates escaped with life. The landlord's daughter, a girl of 18 years, the servant t>' irl, two lodg- ers ( young- men), and the pot- boy, met with their death. One young man, a cork- cutter jumped out of the second- floor window, and was taken up in a lifeless state; he was taken to the hospital, and is reported to have siuce died. The landlord's daughter was observed to have reached the bar, but she was suffocated by the smoke. The bodies of four out of the five unfortunate individuals have been dug out of the ruins, most of them dread- fully burnt. The landlord, whose came is Cavef and the rest of the inmates, escaped with the utmost difficulty.— It is not known how the fire originated. LANCASHIRE YEOMANRY CAVALRY.— One troap from each of the following corps is to be kept up ac- cording to the present establishment :—' Manchester^ Holton, Oldham, Wigan, and TJIverston, to assemble in one body, at stated periods, for training and exercise, and not to consist in the whole of more than 270 men. T. 11. G. Braddyll, Esrj. to be the com- manding officer. An inquest was held on the 26th inst. before George VVingfield, Gent. Coroner, on view of the body of a young man named John Hughes, a tailor, found thai morning in the river Severn, in the parish of St. Juliin.— There were no marks of violence upon the body, nor any evidence to shew by what means the deceased had got into the river. —- The Jury therefore returned a verdict of " Found drowned?'' In the King's Bench, on Thursday, a motion was made to put off a trial until next term, in consequence of mitne error committed by the attorney for the plain- tiff— 0, i which Lord Tenlerdeu remarked, If I bad not some regard* to I be interests of the suitors, I should strike out of the paper ail causes so circum- stanced. By the shameful negligence of some attor- neys rrrtny just causes are lost altogether ; and iu every instance < tf the kind which c. irnes before me in future, I will take care that the client shall not be the suf- ferer • the attorney in the cause must jfdy the costs." — The counsel by whom the motion was nude wa* about to say something in mitigation, but his Lord- ship declared that the rule would not, in any case, be deviated from, so that it would be useless to say another word on the subject. At Dorsetshire Sessions, the munificent donation of F. J. Brown, Esq.. was gratefully accepted by the Magistrates on the part of the county; and, in addition to thr; ancient mansion, gardens, a- id premises of Fjrston House, and £ 4000 to be invested in Government securities for its endowment as & County Lunatic Asylum, Mr. Bro^ vn proposes himself to defray the expense of the Act of Parliament which is required for its' legal establish- ment.

The great cities in the Dooab, he said, were, indeed scenes of desolation. The whole country round Delhi and Agra, when he first saw it, was filled with llie marble ruins of villas, mosques, and palaces, with the frag- ments of t*, snks and canals, and the vestiges of inclo- sures. But ibis ruin had occurred before the British arms had extended thus far, and while the country was nnilef the tyranny and never ending invasions of the Persians, Afghans, and Malmrattas. Even here a great improvement had taken place before IIH left Agra, and he hoped to find a much greater on his return. He apprehended that, on the whole, all India had gained under British rule, except, perhaps, Dacca and. its neighbourhood, where the manufactures had been nearly ruin* d." THE GANGES— Bishop Heher, in his Indian Journal, dated July 1st, has the following :— " The noise of the Ganges is really like the sea. As we passed near a hollow and precipitous part of the bank, on which the wind set full, it told on my ear exactly as if the tide were coming in; and when the moon icstf- d at night on thin gieat, and, as it then ; seemed, this shoreless extent of water, we might have fancied ourselves in the cuddy of mi Indiamau, if our cabin were not too near the water." MATRIMONY. whence they thunder out misery and perdition to all their hearers. It gave me peculiar satisfaction to find that, among my numerous correspondents, I discovered but one or two who dishonoured the dignity of man by descending to the language of a brothel. Chastity of word's is as requisite to the recommendation of a gentle- man, as modesty of behaviour is to the repute of a lady ; and he who debases his mind by tittering expulsions unfit for the ear of Virtue, is unworthy the converse of his own sex, or the society of ours; and in my opinion, the female w ho loves a double entendre, and hears w hat she knows to be unchaste Without a biush, would per- mit a greater liberty to he exercised unrep^ ed and unrejected. I have ever conceived that happiness is no w here to be found but in the middling rank of life ; and that our principal slate of bliss in this world is in marriage, where the union of mind accompanies the union by law ; hence it is, that I shall divide the pro- perty w hich I possess with a man of my own choice, in whom 1 think 1 shall meet all that can aHord domestic fe I icily ; we shall neither be too rich nor too poor; unacquainted wilh luxury, and strangers to penury; it is our own fault if we have either to repine at the will of Providence, or reason to repent of the choice we have made.

The tallowing passages are extract* d from his Indan Journal: — " Two observations struck me forcibly; first, that the deep bronze tint is more naturally agreeable to the human eye than the fair skins of Europe, since we are not disph- ased with- ireven in Die first instance, while it is well known, that to them a fair- complexion gives Hie idea of ill health, and ol that sorl of deformity * liich in oni eyes belongs to an Albino. There is, indeed, some- thing in a negro which requires long habit to reconcile the eye to him ; hut for this the features and the hair, far more than the colour, are aitWerable. The second observation was, how entirely the idea of indelicacy, w hich would naturally belong to such figures as those now around us if they were white, is prevented by their being of a different colour from ourselves. So much are we children of association and habit, and so instinct, ively and immediately doon- r feelings adapt themselves to a* tola I change of circumstances, it is the partial and inconsistent change only which affects us. " The great difference in colour between different natives stiuck me much: of ' the crowd by whom we were surrounded, sou. e were black as negroes, others merely copper- coloured, and others- little duiker than fhe Tunisines,. whom I have seen at Liverpool. Mr. Mill, the principal of Bishop's College, who, with Mr Corrie, one of the chaplains in the company's service, had come down to meet me, and who has seen more of India than most men, tells me that he cannot account f. » r the difference, which is general throughout the country, and every where striking. It is not merely the difference of exposure, since this variety of tint is visible in the fishermen who are naked all alike. Nor does it depend on caste, since very high- caste Brahmins are sometimes black, while Pariahs are comparatively fair. Il seems, therefore, to be an accidental difference, Hi e that of light and dark complexions in Europe, tnough where so much of the. body is exposed to sight, il becomes more striking here than in our own country. " Most of the Hindoo idols are of clay, and very much resemble in composition, colouring, and execution, though of Course not in form, the more paltry sorl of images which are carried about in England for sale by the /. ago di Como people. At certain times of the year great numbers of these are in fact hawked about the streets of Calcutta in the same manner, on men's heads. This is before they have been consecrated, which lakfe place on their being solemnly washed in the Ganges by a Brahmin Pundit. Till this happens they possess no saned character, and are frequently given as toys to childien, and used as ornaments of rooms, which when hallowed they could not be, without giving great offence lo every Hindoo who saw them thus employed. I thought' it remarkable, that though most of the male deities are represented of a deep brow n colour, like the natives of the country, the females are usually no less red and white than our porcelain beauties, as exhibited in England. But it is evident from the expressions of - most of the Indians themselves, from the style of their amatory poetry, and other circumstances, that they con- soler fairness as a part of beauty, and a proof of noble Mood. They do not like to be called black ; and though the Abyssinians, who ate sometimes met, wilh in the country, aie very little darker than they themselves are, iheir jest- books are full of taunts on the charcoal complexion of the " Hubshee." Much of this has probably arisen from their having been so long suh- j cji d to the Moguls, and other conquerors originally IFIINI more northern climates, and who continued to keep up the comparative fairness of their stock by fre- quent impoi tation of northern beauties. India, too, has bren always, and long befoie the Europeans come IN I her, a favourite theatre for adventurers from Persia, Greece, Tarlary, Turkey, and Arabia, all while men, and all in their turn possessing themselves of wealth and power. These circumstances must have greatly contributed to have made a fair complexion fashionable 11 is remarkable, however, to observe how surely all ihese classes of men in a few generations, even without any iu. tei marriage with the Hindoos, assume the deep o'ive tint, little less- dark, than a negro, which seems natural lo the climate The Portuguese natives form unions among themselves alone, or if they can, with Europeans. Yet the Portuguese have, during a three hundred years' residence in India, become as black as til'r• s, Surely this goes far to disprove the assertion, which is sometimes made, thai climate alone is insuffi- cient to account for the difference between the negro and ihe European. It is true, that in the negro are oiber peculiarities which the Indian has not, and to which the .. Portuguese colonist shows no system of ap- proximation, and w hich undoubtedly do not appear to follow so naturally from the climate as that swarthiuess of co i plexion which is the sole distinction between the Hindoo and the European. But if heat produces one ohaugp, oilier peculiarities of climate may produce other and additional changes, and when such peculiarities have thi. ee or four thousand years to operate in, it is not easy to Hx any limits to their power. I am inclined, after oil, to suspect that our European vanity leads us astray in ^ opposing that our own is the primitive complexion, vhicii I should rather suppose was that of the Indian, half- way between Ihe two extremes, and perhaps the most agreeable to the eye and instinct of the .. majority of the human race. A colder climate, and a constant use of dollies, may hove blanched the skin as effectually as a burning sun and nakedness may have tanned it; and I am encouraged in this hypothesis by observing, that of animals the natural colours are generally dusky nud uniform, while whiteness and a variety of tint nimos invaiiably follow domestication, shelter from the elements,, and a mixed and unnatural clier. Thus while ha'd. xhip, additional exposure, a greater degree of heat, and other cncumstanees w ilh which we are unacquaint- ed, may' ha ve deteriorated the Hindoo into a negro, oppo- site causes may have changed him into the progressively lighter lints of the Chinese, the Persian, the Turk, the Russian, and ihe Englishman." On passing Mirzapoor, a cily the importance of which dales entirely from ihe establishment of the .." English government, and whic h now exhibits a popu- I turn of from two to three hundred thousand inhabitants, engaged in tiaffic to a great extent, en- joying, appai< nily, case, comfort, and independence, and surronuehd with new buildings of all soils, as splendid as are to be seen anywhere out of Calcutta, the Bishop pauses to say*— u This is, indeed, a most rich and striking land. Here, in the space of little more than two hundred luilcs, along the same river, 1 have passed six towns, none of them less populous ( ban Chester,— I wo ( Pallia nud Miizapoor). more so than Birmingham; and one, Benares, more peopled than any city in Europe, except London and Paris! And this besides villages innu- merable. I obsened lo Mr. Archdeacon Corrie, that I had expected to find agriculture in Ilindosian in a flourishing slate, but the great cities ruined, in conse- quence of the ruin of the Mussulman nobles. He answered, that certainly very many ancient families had gone to decay, but be did not think the gap had been ever pi rceptible in his time, in this part of India, since il had been more than filled up by a new order rising from* the middle classes, whose wealth had, during bis recollection, increased very greatly. Far, indeed, from those cities which we had already passed decaying, most of them had much increased in the number of their houses, and, in what is a sure sign of wealth iu India, the number and neatness of their gInns and temples, since he was last here. Nothing, he said, was plainer to him, from the multitude of little improvements of this kind, of small temples and Bungalows, partly in ihe European style, but obviously inhabited by natives, that wealth was becoming more The following Letters were published in The Times Newspaper, in the Year 1790. THE ADDRESS OF A WIDOW. Iam independent in my fortune, and my heart is free; and what may appear rather extraordinaiy, I have been twice married, unfortunate in the choice of each husband, miserable with both, and yet feel an inclination lo try a third. My first was a love match ; n61 at an age when discretion made any part of ihe attachment ; F was ambition* to be a wife, and being brought to Bath bv my mother, and invited to a private rout, w here a cer- tiiiiryoung man of fashion was lo be,— I came, fsaw, I conquered. Dissipation and gambling soon reduced a very ample fortune to a trifle, and changed our equipage from a splendid suit of carriages to a hackney coach and uniH'rella. 1" be fall was so sudden, and the descent so great, that they broke my husband's hear! in the third year of our marriage, and left me a beautiful'young widow at the age of 19, without a shilling, but what it pleased my parents lo give for my support. I cannot say I much legretted my husband's death, — he kept no iess than fhfee vih> creatures, six weeks after we were married, and ordered separate beds, because it was fashionable B<' ing giddy and imprudent in my first choice, I was determined lobe more circumspect and cautious iu my second; our family lived in elegant sty le, and we never were without company at home, or in company abroad ; and my father having withheld his bounty on my first marriage, because the match was made by my mother and me, without his consent, now meant to ful- fil his first intention of giving me £ 7000, provided my next, husband was agreeai. de. This brought suitors enough. 1 was all obedience to my father, and he selected for me, in a short time, a man of 57 years of age, a widower, who had made a considerable fortune in Thames- street, and bad retired to enjoy the sweet refreshing air of Ihe country, in a beautiful villa between Mile- End and Hackney. Every thing was concluded in a few days, and once more I became a wife. My new husband was the very reverse of the former, and of Ihe- two extremes by much the worst; he was equally avaricious, as the other was lavish and extravagant, and with him I lived in a state of penury, until the gout in his stomach, for want of proper cor- dials lo drive il to fiis feet, flew to his head, and made me a widow, after five years' confinement to the villa of my old cit. I am now just turned of 24 years of age, lively in my temper, of a good- natured disposition, handsome in my person, and possessed of £ 20,000 in the Three per Cents.; an annuity of £ 400; and in freehold estates in ihe county of Middlesex near £ 1100 a year ; but shall be very hard to please in my third husband. I am determined not to marry a man of fashion, nor a country squiie, nor a widower ( least we should be comparing notes), nor an officer in the army, for they are fortune- hunters, nor an Irish volunteer, nor an Irish adventurer in any shape, nor an atheist, nor a metliodist, because I have had enough of extremes, nor a beau parson, nor a drunkard, nor an ambitious man, nor a Frenchman, because I am certain all men are not equal. I want a sound- hearted Englishman, a man of sense, of whose conversation and address I need not be ashamed in the first company in the kingdom; one who knows how lo lake care of his own honour and defend that of his wife ; il is indifferent to me whether he has a shilling, or w hether be possesses ten thousand pounds. I have enough for us both, and for aov children we may have, for he must not- be loo old for a wife of twenty- four. Let his morals be good, his conversation spiightly, and let him be generous and good- natured ; for I detest a miser, and hate a bad temper. Any person who ' hinks lie can answer my ideas of a husband, and means to be happy w ith a woman whose mind never harboured a wish to make a man miserable ; if he states his pretensions, under cover, to T. E. S. to he left at the printing office of this paper, they shall be duly attended to. This address is no idle story, to gratify any peculiar turn of mind. It is founded iu earnest, and shall be concluded without a jest ; nor are Ihe parties who may offer required to give their real names, until their description of themselves is approved, and a meeting appointed. AMELIA. N. B. The intended husband must be a Protestant of the Church of England, as by law established ; and must not wear a wig, lake snuff, nor chew tobacco. From ihe Newcastle Advertiser, Nov. 13, 1790. Married, on Fiiday se'unight, by special license, at his uncle's house, near Boro. ughbridge, Yorkshire, Gustavus Hamilton Spencer, Esq. to Mrs. Anna Fran- ces Sutherland, widow—' the very extraordinary lady who last summer advertised for a husband, and who, out of her numerous suitors, lias fixed her choice on this gentleman. He is the youngest son of a very respect- able family, and was in London on his way to Vienna, where he bad letters of recommendation to the Em- peror's service, when he met with Amelia's address, to which he gave a reply that appears to have had the desiied effect. BRITISH WOOL. The folloid'ng Letters have been addressed to the Editor of the Standard. TO THS COUNTRY GENTLEMEN AND TENANTRY OF EN CLAN I). G' loucestershire, January 16. GPNTI. Er. rEN, In consequence of an unparalleled depression of price, and accumulation in quantity, of British wool, and the cessation of demand for our home production, from the annual import of the foreign commodity having increased five- fold in the last few years ; il was suggested in the month of June last, that considerable benefit might be attained' by calling upon the people of England, and especially the agricultural part of it, to patronize and support, under these trying circum- stances, a staple commodity, by personally wearing it. I then stated, that our most gracious Sovereign might be induced, from a representation Of our case, lo take the lead upon the subject, and set a glorious ex- ample to this great country. The letters recently inseited ill this paper, have shown how fully tho* c expectations have been realised. 1 feel it therefore a duty incumbent on me, gentle- men, w ho undertook ihe* responsibility of intruding upon royalty for this purpose, t « > call upon the Amelia— To the Conductor of The Times. SIR,— In consequence of my advertisement, I have been honoured wiili above a hundred and fiitv different addresses by gentlemen of almost every description in life, from the humble mechanic to the purse- proud cit, and from the juvenile Templar to the antiquated beau ; the greatest part of whom confirm me iu She opinion I have long entertained, that self- interest is the ruling- principle of the mind. I had not profited so litlle by experience, nor was so ill read in the history of man- kind, as to imagine that I should be able to obtain a husband, whose character might amount to all which the tnosf romantic ideas of connubial happiness can require ; inimitable as the mind and form of man is, a degree of imperfection has been annexed lo his exist- ence, which creates an impossibility of finding out one that is faultless; nor did I hope, through the desoip. lion he gave of himself, to discover the reality of his worth, or Ihe fulness of his demerits. When a man speaks of himself on a subject so lelicate as his charac- ter, he must be a fool indeed who would commit suicide on his own reputation; I therefore expected, in such a case, hypocrisy to take the lead of candour, and thai whilst all his principal virtues were displayed, his worst vices should be veiled in the dark robe of silence; my intention ( and I trust it will be fulfilled) was, from out of Ihe number to select liiose who appeared lo be most worthy of the affection I mean to transfer, and from personal communication, and a strict inquiry by my friends, to discover their real situation and cha- racter. This I have done ; arid there in consequence has appeared a gentleman with whom I mean to be united ; his mind, his manners, and bis general reputation have passed the ordeal 1 had fixed ; and being as unexcep- tionable as I would hope to find, I mean there to fix my choice for life. Who he is, or what he is, can be of no real concern to the rest of my suitors. I commenced my acquainlance with them anonymously, and I shall conclude it in the same concealed manner. To those who have treated my address wilh that respect which female virtue demands, I return my most sincere thanks; and though they have been disappointed of my hand, I trust they will find, from among the number of my sex who have fortunes to beslow, more than one Amelia capable of preferring merit to riches; and in order to furnish such Amelias with an opportunity of doing a meritorious action, I shall, w ith permission of you, Mr. Conductor, publish the various leiteis I have received, concealing, however, the names and places of abode of each w riter ; but in order to afford an oppor- tunity of communication between the parties, such ladies as desire to have a letter conveyed to any person they shall denn suitable to their ideas of a husband, may effect that purpose by sending a note inclosed to me at The Times Office, which note I shall wilh fide- lity convey lo the person for whom it is intended. 5 must confess, that I have been extremely entertained with the variety of letters I have received, some of which are extremely well written, and merit a better fate than immediate consignment to oblivion; others indeed are rather to bp laughed at than admired, and ihe hurry in which not a few of my admirers pushed for the first audience, made them forget either to date their letters, or mention from whence they came, or by whom written. Among this heterogeneous mixture, I find the account balanced as to number in favour of merchants' eleiks, a species of gentlemen who may be extremely useful in the counting house, but to whom 1 have a kind of matrimonial antipathy, those of the elder Jiianch being too methodical for polite life, and those of the younger tribe being in general better cal- culated to raise a riot at half- price in the box- lobby. of a play- house, than to add to the pleasures of domestic society. Some few of religious devotees,, struck with the oddity of my address, have kindly offered io shew me the true way to heaven, by piously presenting them- selves as principal conductors, but they are a kitid of Charybdis on which 1 hope my mind will never be wrecked, and I sincerely wish th » t every one of my ow n sex was of the same way of thinking ; these holy hypocrites creep like a sacrilegious thief into every weak understanding, and stealing from thence the diadem of reason, they raise a throne of superstition, on which they crown their owa avarice, and from agricultural classes of this country, for that sentiment of deep and lively gratitude for which there is so b » , ir a claim, which I promised would arise in every breast by this concession of a patriot King, to the welfare . and desire of his subjects. But, gentlemen, there are still stronger claims upon your gratitude and regard than might at first appeal : the cloth so condescendingly accepted by his Majesty, although the finest I could procure without g. ealer delay, was manufactured from British fleeces, unsoried iu the way usually adopted for separating the coarser qualities, and was therefore a disadvantageous specimen of what England can produce. We may, therefore, have the fullest conviction, that his Majesty was influenced, in his acceptance, not by the intrinsic merit of the fabric, although lie was pleased to express himself so favourably respecting it, but by the assurance, that it was the production of his own realms; that it was conducive to the welfare of his own people; that it was called for as a tribute to past exertions in a national undertaking— and that he had it in his power to set that stamp of currency on a manufacture, which no individual in the nation could besides accomplish. With our King, gentlemen, content to wear the pro- duce of Great Britain, when ihe inteiest of Britain requires it, I surely need not press upon your atten- tion, the duly you owe to yourselves and to your country, lo follow his example. When the illustrious commander is content, iu ihe hour of difficulty, to share the common privation of the meanest soldier,— when we see our heroic naval officers the last to quit their ships, or fly from danger; — when we see our Parrys and our Franklyns, devoting themselves lo those hardships which are common lo the men committed to their charge, but which their previous habits render far more trying lo them ; when we recall Charles XII of Sweden, practically showing to his soldiers, that although the bread with which they had been supplied " was bad," still, 4' il might be eaten ;" and when, in a better cause than war can ever be, we see the most polished prince in Europe ready to forego ihe refine- ments his station has a right to command, to ev'yice to his people his preference for a British commodity ; can the nobility of the land, and can you, gentlemen, now hesitate to step forward and second so patriotic an example ? You surely cannot. I am satisfied it remains vow only lo point out to the nation, that the wearing of cloth at this time, exclusively British, would be a great national advantage— that it would set. free a portion of capital which has been for the last three years useless and unproductive, and render the production of an indispensable domestic animal again an article of value. I am aware, gentlemen, that many are of opinion that our best efforts in this cause will ^ till be unavail- ing; there is however a wide range from the King to the peasant. Let every man, iu bis own sphere of action, perform bis part, and ihe victory is complete. I remain, gentlemen, Your obedient faithful servant, GEO. WEBB HAI. L. [ From a Portuguese Paper.'] This part of the world occupies, at present, the attention of all politicians— being the country of gold, silver, and diamonds, which poured these metals in such profusion into the lap of Europe, raised some nations and depressed others. All the new States are overburdened with an enormous foreign debt, and their finances are in the greatest disorder; but, to complete their misery, there is not a single one but what is distracted by internal commotions and civil wars. This arises from the circumstance of none of them having previously possessed sufficient strength for constituting itself an independent State, according to the statements of their defenders and apologists. The new Republics of Spanish America, piesent us a melancholy picture. This is the situation of these countries, which, a few years ago, even in the op- pressed stale of Colonies, were rich and flourishing. The state of Jalisco ( Guadalaxara) impolitically pro- mulgated a law lately enacting the expulsion of a!) native Spaniards— ihe same thing that had been formerly practised at Buenos Ayres, and in other Republics. How is it possible for them lo prosper under such injurious' measures? If there be any Spaniards, whether naturalized or not, who ciiMuib the State,, let the rigour of the law be enforced, but never publish so barbarous and impolitic a law. Brazil has likewise come in for her share of misfortunes, as well as the other States of America. Having, since 18* 21, contracted a foieign debt of forty millions of eruzadps, and one of similar amount with iis own subjects, ail its gold and silver disap- peared from circulation. It experienced civil wars, and if Don Pedro IV. was not the Emperor of that country, it would, by now, be already dismembered into small ships, turn by internal commotions, and < prey to foreign countries. This ought to be consi dered by all Brazilians, who should know how muc h they are indebted to the magnanimous Sovereign whom they put at ihe head of their affairs. We unfortunately see, likewise, that Ihe United States of North America, who seem to be the most tranquil and robust, are at present likewise threat- ened with the evils and calamities of their neigh hours. All the Journals of that country seem to be very apprehensive that on Jackson becoming Pre- MTrlenl, this military man may attempt some change of Government, mid commence some war or other for the purpose of giving employment to his active friends. They complain that the American youth are now solely addicted to martial exercises, this being the predominant passion, and that they forsake for ibis their peaceable occupation* of agriculture and commerce, and all those branches of industry j that constituted their prosperity. The Fieneh Generals and soldiers who lately cmi grated into that countiy have undoubtedly inspired the Americans with these warlike sentiments, which may shortly become the cause and occasion of their • forfeiting their liberty, as it happened to the Romans under Caesar, and to the French under Napoleon. creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth: and of every man, and of all in whose nostrils was the breath of life ?" The mind is staggered at the bare thought of such an hideous convulsion; and language seeks in vain for terms to afford even an imperfec t notion of it. It may be useful, however, to remark, that " strange" as the dispensation was, the reality of it is made apparent, not only to the pious believer, who receives it as a fact, authenticated by the Word of the Eternal God ; but also to the common enquirer, who will find a tradition of an universal deluge among almost all the heathen nations of the world; and will disc over upon the surface of the earth such traces of the flood, as have convinced some of the most sagacious philosophers, snd inquisitive naturalists, that it actually had occurred. f& iectUaniotig Intelligence. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,— It is oue of the erroneous notions of the poli- tical economists of modern liberalism, that all commo- dities thoul- d be' purchased wherever they are to be obtained upon Ihe most reasonable terms';— that ships should he bought wherever they can be built cheapest ; that if carriages ea- n be bad more reasonably at Vienna, than in Long- acre, we ought, therefore, to give the preference to the Germans; and that the same rule should hold good, not only with respect to every nia- nufactured article, but also to the law material: and, notwithstanding that these wiseacres have been told a hundred times, that foreigners can produce, generally speaking, both the iaw material and manufactured article much cheaper than we can, by reason of the greater price of food and labour with us, occasioned by the magnitude of our public burthens and other disad- vantages to^ w hich we are necessarily subjected, still ihey obstinately persist in their ahsuid opinion, that « e ought not either to produce or manufacture, w bile both can be done cheaper elsevvheie ; and that iu pre- ference to attempting any thing like barter with foreigners, we should rather go to them with the money in our hands. The dolts have m t, however, told us where the money is to come from wilh which they wish us to go into the foreign markets!! Il the production of ihe raw material, and the . manufacture of it here, are both to cease, it wou d puzzle even liberality itself to point out in what way either rents, or the public revenue, are to be obtained !! M* Culloch thinks that if ihe whole rental of Ireland were lo be drawn out of it, and spent in France, that Ireland would he equally benefitted as if the said rental were spent in it!! It is to be hoped that the time is not far distant when the reveries of such visionaries will be viewed in ihe proper light, and that ( he vital interests of the nation will be rescued from the hands of such mad experi- mentalists. The letter which appeared in your paper of yester- dav, signed by " Geo. Webb Mali,'' written with great and proper feeling, on the Very important subject of British wool, will, il is to be hoped, command very general attention. From w hat has been said above, il would appear to be the object of our political econo- mists to put an ent ire stop to ihe production both of the raw material and the manufactured article within these realms, of which wool is Ihe great staple !! ! 11 is from the sale of British wool alone, that rentals have been procured from lands which, until sheep farming was introduced, lay waste! From the sale of British wool it was, that sheep were seen feeding on a thousand hills— that whole regions of mountain and dale in Eng- land and Wales, in Scotland and Ireland, have been made productive; it has opened a new world in ilie remotest districts of these kingdoms; audit is from the sale of wool alone, upon lands formerly wild and almost worthless, that the farmer is enabled to pay his rent. A new taste has, however, of late, given preference lo foreign wool over that of British growth, and a pound of Saxon rcool costs as many shillings as an'ecjual quan- tity of the British wool does pence ! Pre^ KMisJy to'the late war, no one here ever heard or thought of Saxon, or any other wool, in preference to our own. Now, however, every tailor's man lisps out Ihe superior excellence of . vaxon wool, and assigns the very high price of it as a reason why a coat is made lo cost six guineas instead, as formerly, of three. Were the growth of British wool encouraged, as it ought to be, there is no doubt that its quality might be so improved MODERN IMFUOVEMENTS. Columbus discovered America in the night between the 1 Ith and 12: h of October, 1492: Captain Franklin completed the discovery of this new world on the 18th of August, 1826.

The world no longer resem- bles the world of Columbus.

Instead of those rude, filthy, infectious, damp ships, in which you had nothing but salt provisions to live upon, and were devoured by scurvy, elegant vessels offer to passengers cabins wainscoted with mahogany, provided with carpets, adorned with mirrors, flowers, libraries, musical instruments, and all the delicacies of good cheer. A voyage requiring several years' researches in latitudes the most various, shall not be attended with the death of a single seaman. As for tempests, we laugh at them. Distances have disappeared. A mere whaler sails to the south pole : if the fishery is not prosperous, she proceeds to the north pole: to catch a fish she twice crosses the tropics, twice traverses a dia- meter of the earth, and touches, in the space of a few months, the two extremities of the globe. On the doors of the taverns of London is seen posted the announcement of the sailing of the packet for Van Diemen's Land, with all possible conveniences for passengers to the Antipodes, and, beside that, the notice of the departure of the packet from Dover to Calais. We have pocket Itineraries, Guides, Manuals, for the use of persous who purpose to take a trip of pleasure round the world. This trip lusts nine or ten mouths, and sometimes less ; we set out in winter on leaving the opera ; touch at the Canaries, Rio Janeiro, the Fhillipines, China, India, and the Cape of Good Hope; and return home for the opening of the hunting season. — Steam- boats no longer care for contrary winds on the ocean, or for opposing currents in rivers; they are floating palaces, of two or three stories, from their galleries the traveller admires the most magnificent scenery of nature in the forests of the New World. Commodious roads cross summits of mountains, and open deserts heretofore inaccessi- ble; forty thousand travellers meet ou a party of pleasure to the cataract of Niagara.

A man commencing his pil- grimage at the age of eighteen years, and finishing it at sixty, if he had gone but four leagues a day, would have travelled nearly seven times the cir- cumference of our paltry planet.

THE UNIVERSAL DELUGE. [ From I Varna's Sunday Evening Discourses.] Of Ilie scene of horror which followed this awful declaration, it is utterly impossible for Ihe human mind In form any just idea; for, how can man's imagination picture lo itself " ihe windows of Heaven opened," and discharging, for " forly days and forly nights," all their mighty store of waters on the deluged cailh— Ihe elements, unchecked by Ihe Elernal Power that created them, raging iu alflheir resisiless fury— ihe firmament " wrapped in clouds aud thick d arkness," again mingling itself with the oceans, from which it bad originally been divided— " ihe fountains of the great deep broken op:" ihe secret treasury of waters, hitherto confined to the centre of ihe earth, bursting from their prison, and spreading havoek, confusion, and horror in their course ? Oi, how can fancy slrelch itseif to the conception of a world in ruins; its continents torn asunder; its rocks shattered into fragments; us loftiest bills laid low ; its gigantic mountains up- rooted; its universal surface covered with tumultuous waves, bearing upon their mighty surges the lifeless carcases of » all flesh that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every MEETING OF MALTSTERS.— Another meeting of the managing committee of the maltsters' associa- tion, consisting of the members residing near Lon- don, with Crisp Brown, Esq. of Norwich, in the chair, took place at the Bull Inn, in Bishopsgate- street, London, on Monday, at two o'clock. The object of the meeting- was, to prepare a petition to the House of Commons, praying for a repeal of the grievous and arbitrary restrictions and ruinous penalties of the present malt act, and the substitu- tion of such an act as shall give better protection to the maltster from unjust penalties, and more effectually and equally secure the duty on malt. Some resolutions were also passed, recommending the petition to the maltsters generally throughout the kingdom. The petition complained in general terms of the injustice and hardship of the present malt laws, without pointing at any particular sections or clauses, as that was thought better to be done in an after stage of the business in the House of Commons. After the meeting broke up, Mr. Crisp Brown set off for Bristol, with the peti- tion and resolutions, for the approval of the members of the managing committee residing there; and the secretary sent copies of the petition and resolutions to all the other members in every direction. Peti- tions at Hull and. Warwick, and most other cities and towns in the kingdom, not connected with the maltsters' association, are also in readiness for signatures; so the table of the House of Commons is likely to be covered with the maltsters' petitions as soon as the Parliament meets. It is staled that ihe gross receipts of the Customs at Liverpool for the last year, is the largest ever known, exceeding £ 3,250,000. The nett receipts, after the disbursement of Ihe heavy bounties, re- payments, ex- pences, & c. is more than £ 3,1 13,000, w hich is a great advance upon the last year, and £ 180,000 more than even the great trading year of 1825. We recommend the following piece of intelli- gence to the attention of the ardent panegyrists of the march of mind in America. What will Mr. Be& tham and the other sages of his school say to it ? — " A bill has passed the House of Assembly of South Carolina, by a vote of 71 to 42, prohibiting the instruction of persons of colour in READING and WRITING." Seventy- one to Forty- two against, not the instruction of SLAVES, but of FREE- MEN ; against, not the acquisition of those branches of knowledge which a jealous oligarchy ( for such the free states of Carolina and its southern neigh- bours are) might dread, as calculated to put the lower orders on a level with themselves, but plain READING and " WRITING!— And this is liberty in the United States ! It seems that the excavations at Herculaneum, which had been suspended for a long time, are to be resumed on a new plan, and with redoubled energy. They are to direct their efforts on that side of the buried city which presents the least difficulties, and is likely to afford the readiest and most interesting results, judg- ing from ihe foimer attempts made in the same quar- ter. It is said also, that the excavations, which are continued without interruption in the island ofCuprea, on I be foundation of ihe city of Tiberius, are to be ex- tended, and the most flattering expectations are ac- cordingly entertained.— Liverpool Courier. As Sir Walter Scott was riding ( a few weeks ago) with a friend in the neighbourhood t> f Ahbotsford, he earr. e lo a field gate, which an Irish beggar who hap- pened lo be near hastened to open for him. Sir Walter was desirous of rewarding this civility by the present of sixpence, but found that he had not so small a coin in his purse.-—' 4 Here, tny good fellow," said the Baronet, 44 here is a shilling for you ; but mind, you owe me sixpence."— 44 God bless your honour!" ex exclaimed Pa! ; 44 may your honour live till I pay you !" In England, a man of small fortune may cast his regards around him, and sayf with truth aud exulta- tion, 44 I am lodged in a house that affords me conve- nience aud comforts, which even a king could not command some centuries ago. There are ships crossing the seas in every direction, to bring me what is useful to me from all parts of ihe earth. In China men are gathering the tea- leaf for me; in America, they are planting cotton for me; in the West India Islands they are preparing my sugar and my coffee; in Italy they are feeding silk- worms for me; in Saxony they are shearing the sheep to make me clothing; at home powerful steam engines are spin- ning and weaving for me, and making cutlery for me, and pumping the mines, that mineials useful to me may be procured. My patrimony was small, yet I have post chaises running day and night on all the roads, to carry my correspondence; I have roads, and canals, and biidges, to bear the Coal for my winter- fire; nay, I have protecting fleets and armies around my happy countiy, to secure my enjoyments and repose. Then I have editors and printers, who daily send me an account of what is going tin throughout the world, among all these people who serve me: and in a corner of my house 1 have BOOKS! the miracle of all my possessions, more wonderful than the wishing cap of the Arabian Tales; for they transport me instantly not only to all places, but to all times. By my books I can conjure up before me, to vivid exist- ence, all the great and good men of antiquity ; and for my individual satisfaction, I can make them act over again Ihe most renowned of their exploits.; the orators declaim for me; tlie historians recite; the poets sing ; in a word, from the equator to the pole, and from the beginning of time until now, by my books I can be where 1 please." This picture is not overcharged, and might be much extended ; such being the miracle of God's goodness and providence, that each individual of the civilized millions that cover the earth, may have nearly the same enjoy- ments as if he were the single lord of all.— Doctor A met. Loudon was described by Johnson as " The needy villain's general home,"— and the description was just. Colquhoun several years ago calculated ihe numbers at more than 20,000. Thousands rise each morning from their beds without any honest or ostensible muans of support, but trusting wholly to mendicity, fraud, or rapine. Crime of late years has fearfully increased, offences against property especially. Out of more than 15,000 individuals who were in custody the past and preceding year, full 12,000 were charged with larceny or plunder. Within the last 7 years the con- victions for theft alone swelled to the enormous num- ber of 45,000 : and if we contrast Ihe returns of commitments for 7 years, ending December, 1816, wilh ihe same lerm, closing in December, 18' 25, » e shall find Ihe first In amount lo aboul 47,000, while the laller rises lo near 98,000— presenting a two- foid increase within 9 years. On Saturday se'nnighf, a special Court of Ihe Ma- nor of Lambeth was held at Lomas's Hotel, West- minster- bridge, fur Ihe purpose of trying the right of Ihe holder of large copyhold estates within that ma- nor. The cause came before Ihe Court in Ihe form of an issue fiom Ihe Court of Chancery. This was a branch of ihe great Angel! case, which was tried « l Ihe York Assizes. As Ihe piesent question hinged upon Ihe identity of an individual of Ihe natne of Augell, who resided at Cleve Prior, Worcestershire, in 1682, nil immense quantity of documents connected with Ihe diocese of Worcester were produced. The fiev. R. D. Sliltingfleel, Vicar of Cleve- Prior, was also called, and produced a number of register- books, commencing as far hack as 1591. One entry caused much discussion, Ihe Attorney- General suggesting, ilial in ihe burials I lie name of Hainge had been altered lo Aingell. Among ihe witnesses examined uas Sarah Augell, ninety years of age, who hail lived al Salfoid, near Evesham.— The jury, without hesita- tion, found for the present possessor, w ho has been 40 years in possession. During the trial a smile was raised in Court by the answer of one witness, who to a question put by the Attorney- General, said, " he did not think there were many Angells residing in Evesham." ITCH.— Professor Delpech, of Montpellier, asserts that 6,000 soldiers, afflicted with this disease, were cuied in a few days by washing their bodies twice a day, with first soap and water, and afterwards with a solution of the sulphuret of potass," ( about four drachms of the sulphuret to a pint of distilled or ficsh rose water). The professor also states, that he has discovered, by comparative trials made iu the hospital at Montpellier, that olive oil, rubbed over the skin, w ill as speedily cure those labouring under the disease, as the most powerful sulphuieous preparations in common use. Lusns NATURAE.— A singular preservation irt Natural . History is now in the possession of Mr, Bluett, of Taunton ; it is a deve coloured robin, with a whitish neck and breast, which was shot a few day* since in the parish of South Pe lhcrton. This inter- esting litlle object has been stuffed, and forms a rare addition to the various lusus naturae in ornithology. The Bristol Mercury of this week has an account of a curiosity, cqeialfy extraordinary with the one we have just described. That paper sa> s— 44 If we may use such a contradiction e> f terms, we have seen a dove- coloured black- bird. We have heard of white crows and white blackbirds, but we never heard of, nor saw, a bird of this description before. It is in the posses- sion of Mr. Saunders, fishmonger, of Broad street It possesses every quality of the species lo which it belongs, except its colour, which may be termed dove- coloured, or something approaching ihe colour termed fawn ; it is a very lively bird, and possesses its melo- dious note in great perfection. Another bird taken from the same nest is perfectly black.'* LONDON VACCINE INSTITUTION — The Annua! Meeting of the Governors of this valuable Institution was holdeu on Friday week, at the City of London Tavern, in Bishopsgate- street. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the Chair— The minutes of the last General Court were read and approved, and some other preliminary business gone through ; after which Mr. Cordell read the Annual Report, It consisted principally of correspondence from individuals in dif- ferent stations, and from all parts of the world, wht* bore testimony to the vast advantages accruing to the human race from the universal diffusion of the practice of vaccination through the agency of Ibis Society. It appeared from ibe Report, that, before the introduc- tion of the practice of vaccination into the New World, 100,000 Indians were destroyed bj the small pox it* one year, in the single province of Quito. This dread- ful mortality was effectually arrested by the introduc- tion of vaccination, through the instrumentality of the Missionaries. The vaccine matter having, however, become effete through the excessive heats of the last year in that country, one- third of the infant popula- tion were perishing by small pox. The inhabitants - entreated a new Supply from England, which is now regularly transmitted every month in ample packages, distributed by the influence of the Brazilian Ambassa- dor, the Viscount de Ilabayena, through the seventeen provinces of the Brazilian empire. From the beginu ning of ihe Institution, 658,405 charges of vaccine matter have been furnished by Dr. Walker, to 153,395 applicants. Of this quantity 54,388 charges were distributed during ihe last year. Within the same period, DR Walker has vaccinated 4,832 children, making 70.582 vaccinated by him from the commenc e- ment of the Institution. This was exclusive of 972,147 children who were vaccinated by other persons ap- pointed for the purpose. The receipts for the yras* were only £ 665. ISs. being £ 44. 16s. less than the expenses of the Institution. At the conclusion of ihe Report appeared the following passage:—, k In our last year's Report we were well assured that the late Duke of York, virtually, did more good to ihe cause of vaccination, iu calling a general meeting of the Governors of the Small- pox Hospital, of which he was President, to investigate the Physicians' Repent, than has ever been rendered by the greatest champion in the cause. Upon an intelligent investigation of the subject, it was discovered by the Duke," thai the sub- jects of the reported deaths were only presumed to have been vaccinated. With this negligent mode of prac- tice the Duke was highly indignant, and said that, ' In the Military Asylum not one unsuccessful case in vaccination bad happened in the course of 20 years.* The number of deaths by small- pox in the \ ear befoie last had been 1,299. In the last year the deaths were less than that number by 796." DIFFICULTY OF KILLING PEOPLE— ft is pleasing to think how very difficult it is to kill people by improper medical treatment. - Tbedoctors have, doubtless, doomed many millions to death—- in their day— hut many millions more have escaped scot- free from their most pernicious prescriptions^ after having swallowed them with the most . obedient*., and grateful simplicity, gulped them down with such monstrous ugly faces, that death most likely look fright aud scampered off to do the job of less for- bidding and formidable patients. Some people, indeed, there are, whom we defy you to kill by hook or crook ; and who, like old castles that have stoed sieges without end, will crumble at last into ruins. You do not so m xh wonder at their tenacity, er lather pertinacity of life, for they are lean, lank, bony, gaunt, grim and ugly customers, of whom death cannot get a fair hold, when the two stand up to wrestle, and it is pronounced a elog- fall, or a draw . Beit the persons worthy our unqualified* admiration, are your poor, puny, slight, slim, slender billies, weighing barely seven stone, and whom Favouius might Hit, away with under his wing like a leaf; who, the moment they receive the smallest insult from any disease whatever— be be who he may— show fight, without minding the difference of weight, and often by a dextrous dig on the wind, floor the lubber, amid the uproarious applause of the ring. They then put on their clothes- with the utmost sang froid, ami- leave the ground without a scratch. We know several such prime bits of stuff, mure especially oney Highlander w ho was out in the Fifteen, then a mere boy, aud afterwards, of course, iu the Forty- five, a growing lad of two score, and who, never measuring above five feet three, nor weighing above seven stone seven, was yesterday, when he came for his caulkerT as fine a fellow of a hundred and twenty and upwards-, as ever turned up his little finger, although in- dependently of being riddled by balls and bayonets, he ran the gauntlet in many fevers, scarlet, brain, rheumatic, and typhus, through Queensbury House and the Infirmary. Others again there are, fine, straight, stout, jolly ruddy- faced fellows, such as you see in the Six- feet Club, who occasionally go off like the snuff of a candle, after the long wick has been hanging for an hour or two alongside of the melting lallow, e> r who first keep walking about weakly ar. d weekly in great coats, are next seen shivering on horseback wi'. h long hair to its heels, then observed with whitey blue faces at the window of a glass- coach, and, finally, all within the mouth, are hearsed invisible to all' eyes, and deposited beneath the galleries of the subterranean moudiwarp.— Black~ wood's Magazine.
