The Great Tythes extending orer 10,000 Acres, of which 7,00( 1 Acres art fertile Land, and the Glebe Estate, with a Gentlemanly Residence and 09 Acres of T. and, and a Farm let at Fifty Guineas a- year. The Value of the Tythes exceeding £ 1,500 a- year, held of the Bishop of • London; for three Lives, renewable according to Custom. MR. GEORGE ROBINS HAS the Pleasure to announce, that he is directed to SELL BY AUCTION, at the Mart, iu London, on Thursday, tbe 26th Day of February, at Twelve o'Clock, to One Lot, an exceed- ingly valuable Property, with a View to a safe and permanent Investment of Capital. It comprehends the GLEBE ESTATE; WITH A GENTLEMANLY RESIDENCE, AND OFFICES, PLEASURE AND KITCHEN GARDENS, seated in a Park Meadow gradually reclining tn the Tow n, and in a Neighbourhood remarkable for its So- ciability. There are corresponding Offices of every Description nnd IMMENSE TYTHE BARNS, together with about SIXTY- NINE ACRES OF SUPERIOR LAND, in a high Stale of Cullivul , in lire Occupation of Mr. Snlter, a most respectable Tenant, at a low Rent of £ 201) a- year. Also, BISHOP'S FARM, nt Woodcock Hill, in tbe Occupation of W. Fowler, Esq. at a Rental of £ 52 per Annum, and the GREAT TYTHES OF THE WHOLE PARISH OF RICKMANSWORTH, extending over a fertile Domain of 10,000 Acres, of which 7000 ACRES ARE RICH ARABLE & PASTURE LAND. The Compactness of ibis Parish and the proverbial Convertability of ihe Soil, would render it, even in Times ( gone by) when Agricultural Distress prevail- ed, a certain Source of secure and. solid Income, aud necessarily, by Parity of Argument, now that the Sun shines propitiously ou the Adventures of a Farmer, with the slow but certain Effect necessarily resulting fioin the Corn Bill in View, il would indeed be diffi- cult to suggest a more eligible Mode of employing Capital. The Parish, it has already been observed, includes TEN THOUSAND ACRES OF RICH LAND, divided into convenient Farms, nnd occupied by a most respectable Tenantry. The Property intruded to be sold ( besides the Great Tylhes upon Corn, Grain, Hay, Aftermath, and Clover), includes the Glebe Estate.^ The Whole was subject tn a very moderate' Valuation, two Years since, nud made under Circum- stances of great Depression, when tbe Result exceeded £ 1500 A- YEAR tlPON A MOST CONSIDERATE ESTIMATE. THE PRESENT REAL VALUE EXCEEDS £ 1700 PER ANNUM. The Estate is held for three Lives under the Bishop London, subject to a quit Rent of £ 27 a- year, renewable according to Custom j nud the Reciprocity of Advantage is so manifest, that it will always insure a Renewal when a Life falls in. It is upon this Prio ciple very confidently submitted as a solid and im proving Source of Revenue, tbe more so, when it is remembered that its Approximation upon tbe neigh- bouring excellent Markets, and lit. ready Access lo that of London forall its Produce, will always give il a commanding Character.

PECTORAL ESSENCE OF COLTSFOOT. ^ gpHE herb Coltsfoot, has long been dis- ii- tinguished for its excellent proprrties iu the cure of Coughs and other Pulmonary Complaints; and this essence has, in the pourse of a long practice, been found the most safe and effectual remedy for Coughs, and all Disorders of the Lungs. It gently opens the Breast, and immediately gives liberty of breathing, without any danger of taking cold, and thus il affords great re- lief in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the tickling Which provokes frequent coughing, cleanses the small glands, relaxes tbe fibres, and thereby en arges iht cavities ot the vessels ^- Thus it will prevent Conshinp lions, if taken before the Lungs are . ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals rawness and soreness of the Chest. This Pectoral Essence is prepared by JAMES BYAN Surgeon, in Bristol; aud sold iu bottles at 3s. ( id. each, by F. NEWBERY & SONS, 45, St. Paul's Church Yard ; and, by their appointment, iu most Country Towns. ' IHHERE is no Medicinal Preparation & of the present Day, so valuable as CHURCH's COUGH DROPS, which removes recent Colds, ob- stinate Coughs, and the common Disorders of ihe Breast and Lungs. In Asthmatic Affeciion ils Efficacy is held in high Estimation, even by Professional ' Gentlemen, who do not hesitate to recommend it. It never disagrees with the Stomach, and common Colds invariably yield to its beneficial Effects in a few Hours. CHURCH's PECTORAL PILLS. When, with the Cough or Cold, there is great uneasiness and shortness of Breath,. attended with Wheezing, the Pectoral Pills should be immediately taken, as ihey will speedilv produce Relief.

His Grace is expected to take his departure on Wednesday, ( lie 4th of February. His appoint- ment will be Gazetted on Friday, the 6th of February. Grand dinners will be given by the Duke of Wellington, the Karl of Aberdeen, and Mr. IVol, on Wednesday week, to the Members of both Houses of Parliament. His Majesty's Speech • will be read at each of the dinners. The Duke of Nortliuftibcrland's appointment to fho Lord I. icut'eoaiicy of Ireland has been officially announced in Dublin, and not one hour was suf- fered by the Catholic Association lo elapse before they honoured his Grace with their vituperation and slander. Every man in Great Britain ap- proves of the selection of a man not more distin guished by illustrious birth aud immense wealth, than by the affability of his manners aud the ex- cellence of his private character. But what say the Association and its chief? They disdain t6 • wait till his Excellcncy has entered upon his functions — they will not form their opinion of his government upon experience— they will not allow him the' benefit of a trial. No! no! this may accord with the principles and practice of Protest- ants, but theiinen who ask fo be admitted to the privileges of a Protestant Constitution reject it altogether. But the Catholic O'Counell hai5 pro- nounced a panegyric upon the Duke— for coarse- ness and abuse from him of such a Nobleman are the highest panegyric—" There could not be a Worse selection made," says Mr. 07C6nnell ; the meaning- of which is, that the aforesaid Mr. O'Con- nell despairs of making his Grace the dupe of the Association and the Agitators.

'[ From the Star of Brunswick.] The Duke, of Northumberland has been appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. It is said, and we believe on good authority, that bis Grace has accepted the situation at, the express request of his Majesty ; and our most gracious Monarch could not have evinced a greater regard towards this portion of bis dominions, than by selecting as bis representative a Nobleman of high Constitutional principles — one whose splendid and almost unequalled income, and whose princely ideas arid profuse ex- penditure, will enable him at once to govern and serve the country. Joy is already beaming- in the Countenances of our traders find manufacturers;' for never, certainly, was there such a Court held in Ireland-— and if we except that of the British metro- polis, never perhaps in Europe, as that over which the Duke of Northumberland will preside. The trade of Dublin wijl once more revive, and the Castle will become the nucleus around which everything of nobility, rank, and fortune in the country will assem- ble. The Duke is not circumstanced as other Vice- roys have been ; he will be accompanied by an amiable, a virtuous, and an accomplished partner, Who1 will give a tone to society, and make the Irish Court what it has ceased to be for years. It is stated, and we should not be in the' 1 least surprised if such were the fact, that his Grace has accepted the situation of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, on the ex- press stipulation that he is to hold the office without salary. If this be so, it only furnishes another in- stance of the princely liberality evinced by him on so many occasions. There is no doubt entertained that a Secretary agreeing in political opinions with the Duke of Northumberland will be appointed. In a former number, We stated that arrangements were in progress for securing the talents of the Marquess of Chandos in aid of the present administration; and the eyes of every true Protestant and loyal Irishman are now turned naturally towards this high- minded and distinguished young nobleman. For the sake of Ireland, and for that glorious cause which is dearer to us than life, we hope, and trust, that the appoint- ment will take place, and we have every reason to think that it will. PROTEST ANT PEELING.— It is not tobe supposed tliat the Protestants of Ireland could have been, or actually were, ever entirely blind to the demerits and maladministration of the Marquis of Anglesey. By no means. In a few weeks after he . assumed the. reins of government* they were slighted, 1 in- sulted, and depressed: they saw the underhand workings of a powerful machine, preparing the subversion of all they held dear; and they soon felt the hand of power pressing on their liberties and rights. High and low, rich and poor, experi- enced insult and oppression ; and to such a degree of despair wore they driven, that, having lost all the confidence which they had so long felt atid maintained towards the British government, they were at length compelled to unite for their own de- fence. This is the " secret of the revi val of the Orange Societies ( which had nearly died away); this is the cause of the formation of Brunswick clubs. They did not originate in party feeling; they sprung from necessity— a necessity imposed on Protestants, of either at once succumbing to a dominant and intolerant faction, or of uniting to preserve the integrity of the British connexion, the existence of the Protestant church, and the rights and lives of the Protestant population. In such a struggle as this, the people of Great Bri- tain will surely not desert their brethren in Ireland. There needs but a simple statement of the fact, that Irish Protestants and the Irish Protestant civurch are insulted, oppressed, and threatened with destruction, to rouse the energies of every British heart in their defence. Honour, genero- sity, and a community of interest as well as of feel- ing- demand it; for, let it be remembered, that if the outposts be carried, we shall ourselves be com- pelled to stand in the tfarij and to bear the brunt of the battle. Matty parts of England have already expressed their determination to preserve inviolate the bulwarks of the ' constitution, and the sacred flame of Protestant zeal is spreading rapidly throughout the whole country. Never was there a moment in the annals of the British empire, when the beautiful, though somewhat hackneyed, exhor- tation of our great naval hc. ro, could be applied with f- uch peculiar emphasis and propriety. We are now engaged in a warfare, ou which hinges all the best blessings of time and of eternity, and " England expects every man to do his duty." CAVAN, JAN. 21.— The Cavan meeting has jnst concluded. Another instance of Protestant feelim has this day developed itself. The Protestants of this county have determined, without a dissentient, against the dangers of further concession to the papists. The whole county met in deliberation in front of the Court House, under the proper officer, the sheriff, on th.; iimftntk Catholic claims ; and when the question to petition against them was put, not one liiind or voice was raised in condemnation of the general prayer. There were twenty thousand Protestants assembled, and the general sentiment which pervaded each bosom was a prayer that found Us echo in the rallying word " ^ so surrender." BIRTH.

SHROPSHIRE BRUNSWICK CLUB— The First Dinner of the Members of this Club will take place to- morrow at the Lion Inn; and it will be most respectably attended. The Norwich Brunswick Constitutional Club met on Thursday last, at ihe Norfolk Hotel, in that city; when Petitions to both Houses of Parliament, and an Address to His Majesty, against further concessions to the Roman Catholics, were unanimously adopted. The Earl of Liverpool is returned to his' seat Buxton Park, from a visit to his Majesty at Windsor. CAMBRIDGE.— The Bachelor's Commencement List was published on Saturday last.— Mr. Caven- dish, of Trinity College, and Mr. £ hilpott, of Catharine Hall, are the two Senior Wranglers.— Mr. T. Butler, of . St. John's College, is in the list of Senior Optimes. The Report of the Committee presented to the Proprietors of the Birmingham. and Liverpool Junction Canal at their late general meeting, as detailed in the proceedings advertised, contains a satisfactory and encouraging statement as to the progress of this important undertaking. After the business of the day, the proprietors present partook of an excellent dinner provided by Mr. Liddle, of the Lion Inn, Newport, and at which Viscount Clive presided. The noble Chairman, after the customary loyal toasts, stated that, in proposing " Prosperity to the Birming- ham and Liverpool Junction Canal," he had much pleasure in reading to the proprietors a paper which had been put into his hands, founded on documents furnished by the Resident Engineer, Mr. Easton, and frOm which it appeared that the Company had already expended for lands and works £ 1* 6,771, leaving a sum of £ 213,229 as balance of the subscribed capital: that to pay tlie balance of Mr. Wilson's contract, a, no also to pay at the same rate for the remainder of the works nectssary to complete the Canal and Reservoir, including land, would require £ 208,720 ; and that there would remain nearly £ 5000 lo meet any un- foreseen contingencies. THE PRESBYTERY OF GLASGOW. The Shrewsbury Agent of the Roman Catholic Association has, in his last Paper, asserted that « THE GREATER PART" of the circular letters addressed to ' lie Members of the Shropshire Bruns- wick Club, announcing the dinner at the Lion Inn, " inclosed Tickets for the DINNER with the magic Word ' PAID' written very conspicuously in front." It is almost needless for us to say, that this, like most other party assertions of the same author is a BARE- FACED FALSEHOOD. Not one of the circular letters inclosed a ticket, of any description, nor WHS any article whatever inclosed in any one of the circulars. SHROPSHIRE BRUNSWICK CLUB. WALTER DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE THAMES.— On Friday, at half- past one, two gentlemen entered a wherry at Rotherbithe, to be ferried over to Exe- cution Dock; they got half- way over, when the force of the current brought them between a Sunderland trader and a Dutch vessel; as fhe latter was making a tack, it drove against them an immense piece of ice, which stove in the wherry : the vessel sunk to the bottom, and every individual on board perished.

GROWTH OF TOBACCO IN IRELAND.— The im- porters and manufacturers of Tobacco in England are loud in their complaints, as to the injury sustained by them, and which, they allege, Government might, by its interposition, readily remove. They argue, that smuggling is; carried on to a very great extent in Ireland, and that Government, on seizing such Tobacco, are satisfied to sell it for consumption on obtaining as much as will cover the duty. Cer- tainly, if the crown will sell at 3s. per lb. and the importer cannot afford it at less than 3s. 5d. ( 3s. duty and 5d. cost,) he is, by this act of Government, as completely shut out of the market, as if the smuggler had successfully run his tobacco and were to offer it at eighteen pence. The other grievance is, that a great quantity of tobacco is grown in Ireland, on which, they assert, no duty whatever is Collected. This is a very important matter, not merely as affecting the importers of tobacco— but it becomes a serious question, now that Virginia does not belong to Great Britain, whether such cultivation should not by every means be encouraged. We are told, " that one Irish acre will produce 16,000 transplants ; that 1000 plants produce 1201bs. of tobacco ; that, last year, 130 acres of it have been grown and saved near Enniscorthy; and preparations are making to greatly extend its cultivation in the counties of Carlow, Wexford, and Wicldow.*' A respectable broker's circular, of the 29th December, estimates the Irish growth of tobacco, List year, at 700 hh'ds. of 13001 bs. each, on which, if the Government obtained no duty, they gave up an amount of £ 140,000. When the Virginias belonged to the British crown, an act. was. passed to prohibit the cultivation of tobacco in England. This act continues to be enforced ; but, at that time Ireland had a separate Parliament; and we tyre not aware that there was in that country, or that there at present is, any such restriction. If in this we are correct, we may presume that neither at that nor the present period is there a duty of 3s, per lb. or any duty whatever, on tobacco so grown in Ireland. If it be policy, as" a revenue question, to encourage importation from abroad, the revenue by such process being, perhaps, more easily and safely collected, then let the importer be fairly dealt with, and not have three formidable opponents against him. If it be ruin to him to sell tobacco under 3s. 5d. per lb. let him not be nosed in the market by Government selling smuggled tobacco at 3s. per lb.— by the smuggler, for want of Government vigilance, selling at Is. 6d. per lb.— and by the Irish grower selling at much less than either one or the other. If, on the other hand, Great Britain could produce equal to her wants, could not, we ask, a duty be collected in a way similar to that pursued with regard to hops? The home growth, without loss of revenue, would then benefit the English agriculturist at the ekpense of him of the United States, which country, I> y its Tariff, labours to injure this; and such a change would. rtye of no injury to the British shipping, for nearly aj. J the tobacco imported is brought in American vessels.— Liverpool Chronicle• THE IIOM PROPERTY.— By a late arrangement, the part of the Horn Property in Herefordshire, which includes the Mansion and surrounding estates, has become the property of Sir Edwyn F. Scudamore Stanhope, Bart. When the worthy Baronet arrived near his seat, on his return from completing the adjustment., the horses were taken from his carriage, and he was drawn to his mansion amidst the congra- tulatory husszas of the inhabitants of the vicinity, who partook afterwards of an entertainment provided for the occasion. The following is a copy of the resolutions agreed to by the Glasgow Presbytery, at the meeting of the synod on the 8th of January, 18,29. < k The Presbytery having taken the Catholic Question into their Serious consideration, agreed to the following resolutions, appointed to be signed by the Moderator, and published in their name : — " RBSOLVB6 I. That those inestimable privileges, civil and religious, which our forefathers, after an arduous struggle against Popery and arbitrary power, secured, through the divine blessing, to these lands, at the glorious revolution, by the ' Bill of Rights;,' and * Acts of Settlement.,' and which have been uni- formly maintained inviolate since thai memorable era, under a race of Protestant Princes on the British Throne — have proved the source of genuine freedom and public happiness unknown to these lands in any former age. 41 II. That the establishment of the reformed re!; i-> g- ion, aud the maintenance of a Protestant govern- ment in Great Britain and Ireland,: now happily united in one kingdom, are es- ential and fundamental principles of our Constitution in Church and State ; for which our ancestors contended at the hazard of' their lives, and all that was dear to them in this World ; and which, therefore, ought ever to be held sacred, and handed down unimpaired to Ihe latest posterity. " III. The Presbytery are of opinion that the un- qualified grant of tlie claims which the Roman Catholics are now presenting might eventually injure and put iu hazard those great civil and religions blessings, in the enjoyment of which this country hath so long been prosperous and happv ; and further, that if any particular concession should be made by Parliament, it ought to he accompanied with such full and ample securities as shall place beyond danger those great Protestant interests for which their an- cestors shed their blood, and which, to defend and maintain to the latest period of their lives, they con- sider as one of their most sacred duties ; but which securities the Presbytery apprehend cannot be given.

Finally, the Presbytery, feeling fhe deepest interest in the spiritual welfare of their fellow- subjects, take this opportunity of declaring their earnest desires ami hopes that the most effectual means may be employed for securing and extending instruction in the principles of Christianity among the Roman Catholics of Ireland, and for enabling the people of that country to rend the Sacred Scriptures in their own language, that by the progress of know- ledge and acquaintance with the Word of God, pure and undefiled religion may prevail throughout every quarter of the British empire. 44 ADAM PORMAN, Moderator." WORCESTER.— A truly appalling self- murder has occurred in this city. On Tuesday night last, about half- past nine o'clock, Mr. J. Knight, for many years a clerk in the banking establishment of Messrs- Ber- wick, Lechmere, and Co. repaired to the house of Mr. Bigg, nurseryman and seedsman, Mealcheapen- street, and knocked at the door for admittance. The door was opened by a son of Mr. Bigg, who, on en- countering Mr. Knight, refused to allow him to enter, observing to him that lie ( Knight) knew his father bad forbid him the house some time ago. Knight, however, persisted in going into the shop, in spite of the remonstrances of the lad, and whilst the conversa- tion was passing between them, Mrs. Bigg joined them, and recommended him to go home. He re- fused, and in reply to the question of what he wanted, he answered that he came there to destroy himself; then drawing a pistol from his pocket, lie placed it to bis ear, and twice struck down the lock, but the pistol did pot go off. Thus frustrated, the desperate man next produced his razor- Case, which was anatcfred at by Mrs. Bigg, but she obtained possession of the lid only, with which she ran into the parlour. As soon as her back was turned, Knight opened one of the razors, and exclaimed " here goes," but upon a per- son named Yomig, who had been sitting in the parlour with Mrs. Bigg, making his appearance, and re- monstrating with him on the impropriety of his con- duct, he burst into tears, and shut up the razor. Young having left the shop, Knight asked the lad to put out the candle; he refused to do go, when he im- mediately extinguished it himself, and in the short interval of time occupied by the boy in going for another light, the wretched man consummated his direful purpose. On the return of young Bigg, he found him reclining against, a package of bags, grasp- ing a razor in his right hand, and blood gushing from his throat. At this moment, the shrieks of murder and the confusion in the house had attracted the notice « f persons outside, and there were loud clamours at the door for admission. These were heard by Knight; he entreated that the door might not be opened, and even endeavoured to stop Young in passing him to fetch surgical aid. However, the door, was instantly opened, and Mr. Morris and Mr. Frederic , Stephenson were speedily at the dreadful scene. Their skill, however, could avail nothing, so com- pletely had he accomplished his dire intent, having,, divided the internal jugular vein by a ga* h fjbur inches in length ; and within half an hour of the deed he became a corpse. On Wednesday evening, at live o'clock, n jury, most respectably composed, over which Mr. J. B. Hyde, one of our city coroners, pre- sided, assembled at the City Arms Inn ( whither the body ha< i been removed), for the purpose of investi- gating the melancholy occurrence. The circum- stances attending the horrible act were detailed by Mrs. Bigg, her son, and Mr. Young, as given in sub- stance above. The two medical gentlemen named, were also examined to prove that death had ensued from the wound as described; and the fatal razor and the pistol ( the latter was found to be charged WDfi- sh ot) were likewise produced. In the hearing of this testimony, satisfying them that the deceased had fallen by his own hand, the jury were occupied until twelve o'clock, when they adjourned ; and again met on the following evening at five. Several witnesses were then examined as to the state of the deceased's mind prior to the act; the general tenour of their evidence went to show that the unfortunate man was in full possession of his senses up to the moment of his laying violent hands upon himself, neither did it appear that he was intoxicated , and, after deliberating' upwards of an hour, the jury returned a verdict of Felo- de- se. At twelve o'clock the same, night, in- accordance with the present law applicable, iu such occurrences, the body was interred, without funeral rites, in the burial ground near the House of Industry. — The deceased was 51 years of age, and ha » left a wife and several grown up daughters. In the course of the inquiry before the jury, nothing transpired to explain the causes which could have prompted the unhappy man to the commission of this so fearful a deed ; there are many rumours of the most painful nature in circulation regarding it, but as they are, for the most part, founded in conjecture only, or grounded on circumstances doubtless much exaggerated, we do not feel justified in more distinctly alluding to them. — Worcester Herald.

Mr. HORN E was about moving for a new trial of the issue on this long" standing case, The LORD CHANCELLOR suggested to the Counsel on both sides, that it would be a saving of great ex- pense if they could avoid sending the question to be tried again. What he proposed to them was, to set down the cause upon further directions, upon the understanding that his Lordship was to look into the evidence already taken in the three former trials, and that the same evidence at the hearing was to be sub- ject to the argument of Counsel. ~ This arrangement was adopted by the Counsel, after a consultation among themselves, and the cause is to come on immediately after one or two other causes, of fong standing and greater importance, are disposed of.

Experience during a very long period has in- contestibly proved the superior efficacy of this Medi- cine, in all cases of COI. DS, COUGHS, and ASTHMATIC AFFECTIONS. By promoting gentle expectoration, it very shortly relieves the patient of a slight or recent Cold, and a few doses are generally sufficient to remove those which neglect has rendered more confirmed and obstinate, and which are accompanied with Cough, Spitting of Blood, aud other serious symptoms. Its peculiar balsamic powers tend lo heal soreness, and allay the irritation of Ibe lungs, in cases of Cough; and in Asthmatic Affections it assists aud gives freedom to the Breath.

Printed for Longman, Recs, Orme, Brown, & Green, London, It was formerly noticed, tTiat the birth of the Earl Glower's son and heir gave rise to spontaneous rejoic- ings in different parts of the estate of Sutherland, as soon as the joyful event was known ; but it being one whiclx ivelated( the hearts of all the tenantry to a romantic degree, Monday, the 12th of this month, was devoted to festivity, and as a day of general rejoicing. The day fixed upon was fortunately one of the finest winter days of the season, and a club and shinty match at Bunrobin Mains, which had been previously determined upon, attracted the attention and interest, of the multitude collected in that neigh- bourhood during the early part of the day. The game was agreed to be contested between picked young men from the parishes of Clyne on one side and Golspie and other parishes in the county on the other side; each side furnishing twenty- six men. The Golspie party, with distinguishing ribbons and badges, met above the village, and, headed by ' several gentlemen,' marched with flying colours, bear- ing an appropriate motto, and to the martial strains of three bagpipes, to the field where the game was to be contested. The Clyne party assembled at Brora, and, Similarly conducted and decorated, and with a distinguishing flag, met their opponents at the ap- pointed field. At the commencement of the game, nineteen rounds of cannon were fired at Dunrobin Castle, \ vhich, joined with the animating appearance of the men, and their decorations and flags, and the sound " piobaireachd," which have often appalled enemies of Britain in battles' strife, forced upon the recollection those turbulent days, when the Noble • ancestors of the young stranger, whose birth diffused So much happiness, guided and directed the energies of their devoted followers in the conflicts of yore. Twenty men out of the twenty- six were selected on each side, and every other preparation being made, the shinty was thrown among the combatants by one of the judges. It may be noticed, that of all games, that of shinty playing requires the greatest exertion, and from the agility, muscular strength, aud desperate resolution, which ensures success, is directly opposed to effeminacy? and is peculiarly characteristic of the Highlands. Never on any occasion were finer looking lads for such a match seen than those met at Dun- robin on this occasion ; and the crowd which witnessed their exertions was immense. After a severe contest, the Golspie party won the first game, but the direc- tion of the wind, which has before now decided the fate of nations in the field of battle, was in their favour. The second game was also keenly contested and won by the Clyne party, who in turn had the advantage of the wind; and thus the contest being equal, and the greater part of the forenoon being already passed, the parties separated as all such friends ought to do, without any advantage on either side, on the best possible terms. The pipers then changed from the rapid and spirit- stirring strains, so well suited to an animated contest, to the strathspeys and reels of " our own romantic land," and a merrier or more blythesome dance than what followed could not be seen on any green sward, or among the peasantry of any country. It is impossible to particularise all the jollify and pastimes that ensued about Dunrobin and at Golspie. But in the evening, about sixty gentlemen dined at Duncan's New Inn. After dinner, and after dedi- cating bumpers to the health of our gracious Sove- reign, and to other loyal toasts, the health of the youthful " Viscount Trentham" was drunk with nine times nine, and amid immense cheering and discharge of nineteen guns, which almost rendered inaudible " The Highland Laddie," that followed this toast. The healths of Lady Stafford, " Bhau- vorar- chatu," Lord Stafford, Lady Gower, Lord Gower, Lord Francis Gower, and all the other members of the Stafford family, were then enthusiastically given and received; but it. may be particularly remarked, that when the Marquis of Stafford's health was drunk, the Old Scots air of " There's nae luck about the house when our Goodman's awa," was received in a manner peculiarly expressive of the feelings of all present towards that Nobleman, under whose auspices the county has made such rapid strides in improvement. A triumphal arch was erected across the public road at Golspie Inn, covered over with evergreens, arid surrounded by a transparency bearing appro- priate mottos and the crcst of the Sutherland family, and on the top of which we observed the emblem of the family worn, according to tradition, by the Sutherlands at the battle of Bannockburn. In the evening, bonfires blazed on every eminence in view, around which the happy and contented peasantry were regaled with liberal potations of whiskey. Among 40 or 50 such bonfires which illuminated the heavens, a splendid fire lighted on the fop of Benav- raggic, a neighbouring majestic mountain, shone very conspicuous: it had a truly grand appearance, and, during the darkness of night, resembled a blazing- magnificent orb of unnatural dimensions in the firma- ment. Such a beacon on so lofty an eminence was wonderfully characteristic of the grand scenery of the country; and while we witnessed it, with delight and a mixture of awe, we could not avoid reflecting on the unmatched capabilities of this romantic part of the country for the display of such splendid exhi- bitions, and the suitableness of such a towering star to commemorate the birth of a descendant of the Earls of Sutherland. The numerous fires lighted on this occasion, were among the most pleasing exhibitions of the evening, and the reflections they naturally sug- gested of the universal feelings of joy and satisfaction rffftused tn every quarter, cannot be conveyed to the columns of a newspaper. Dunrobin Castle, and the towns of Dornock and Golspie, were illuminated ; and at. the latter place an ox was roasted, which was divided among the poorer classes, with a good allowance of bread and favouriie beverage. At Dunrobin Mains an abundant feast was prepared for the servants and all who chose to partake of it, and copious libations of mountain dew served out. there, at Dornock, and in every other parish. And £ 10 were ordered by Lord Gower to be paid to the poor of each parish on the estate. At nine o'clock, a display of fire- works announced the beginning of the merry dance to an excellent band of music, which was attended by the principal tenantry and nearly all the ladies in the Earldom, besides a. great many friends of the parties, who had been invited to rejoice on this happy occasion. After midnight, supper was announced, and then the dance was renewed and kept up in true Highland style until the unwelcome dawn of the winter morning warned them to depart. The above is but a brief outline of tbe mirth and the rare festivities and rejoicings that were witnessed on the 12th of this month throughout the whole of the Sutherland estate, and particularly at Dunrobin and Golspie. To those acquainted with the circumstances and condition of the county of Sutherland, and the un- speakable public benefits it has derived from the family of Stafford and Sutherland, these rejoicings wiil appear, as they simply were, the natural consequences of deep gratitude and great esteem. And the feelings whence they spring in the north, have, we observe, given rise to similar manifestations of joy on the estates of the Noble Family among the iTold yeomanry of England. We observe, that at Longdon- upon- Tern, in Salop, the inhabitants displayed a banner, on which was inscribed, to the " Welcome Lovely Stranger,' 1— " A grateful tenantry thy birth declare, " With | oy elate and heartfelt wish. sincere, " That thou like thy great ancestors may claim " The well earned merit of a virtuous name." How truly do these sentiments apply, to this part of the kingdom as well as to that part of the. county of Salop ; and how sincerely, warmly, and enthusiasti- cally were they felt, acted upon, and proclaimed at Golspie on the present occasion. In this county the great ancestors of this " Lovely Stranger" were, for many centuries, the chiefs and the victorious leaders of their vassals in those turbu- lent times when native vigour and prowess required Confront and direction- And latterly they have been, aud arc the source whence flow all the improvement, happiness, and prosperity of a large section of the kingdom. This account was prepared by the direction of the Gentlemen who took the charge of the festivities, namely*—- Major Mackay, of Bighouse, the Convener of the County, Major Climes, of Cracaig, { Major Gilchrist, of Ospisdall, and Mr. Craigg, of Ivirkton. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR, I believe it is no unusual custom with authors and editors, even of tbe highest eminence, to coirect in a later period of their, labours an error which, notwithstanding their utmost diligence, may have introduced itself in the earner progress of publication. In this they are not unfrequently assisted by the private communications of literary friends; and . which assistance the grateful and the candid never fail to acknowledge and esteem. As the editor of a second edition of a work, " creditable to the researches" of its original author, " Mr. Thomas Phillips," it is my duty to express my obligation to Mr. Charles Blount," for a polite note received from him on the 15th instant, iu which he says, " that a very few yeais ago he was able to identify" the grave- stone of Captain John Beubow, t then in old St. Chad's churchyard. For this information 1 am indeed thankful, having formerly felt no inconsiderable solicitude lo satisfy myself as to the certainty of its existence, and the exact words on it inscribed. Henci I many times visited the churchyard, and was at length informed by ihe sexton, that " he had not seen Benbow's grave- stone for thirty years." I am also gratified to find that my observations in the note to Phillips's History, previously alfuded to, have led to the discovery of the valued memorial, at least to its being cleared from the turf, grass, and overshadowing weeds, by which it was not only surrounded, but neatly imbedded, I have within these few days visited and inspected what is represented as the object of my former enquiry, and do not hesitate to say, T have not any doubt of its identity, notwith standing the illegibility of the original inscription, and which is succeeded by another, recording the departure from this life of some one probably of more " Homely joys and destiny obscure" than the brave unfortunate Benbow. Having- thus, corrected my belief, that " no traces whatever of Benbow's grave- stone existed," and acknowledged my obli - gation " to Mr. Blount, I htwe only to add, that I shall ever be most happy to receive any hint or information intended. for the advant" of the work I have the honour to edite, when com- municated by persons of judgment and research. 1 shall not deern it necessary on any future occasion to trespass on the pages of your valuable Journal, either for the purpose of correction or the elucidation of anything I may publish in Phillips's History, but, like my reverend and revered predecessors, perform that duty either " in the progress of the work, or at the end of the volume." I am, Sir, most respectfully, your's, CHARLES HULBERT. HIGH STREET, SHREWSBURY,' JANUARY 23, 1829. * Mr. Blount was employe - to copy the inscriptions in the burial- grounds pertaining to tlis churches of Shrewsbury, for Owen and Blakeway's History. + Benbow was a lieutenant in the army of the parliament, and led on a party of dismounted troopers at the storming of Shrewsbury in 1645—- He afterwards united himself to the THE EAST.-— The French papers of Sunday state that the Russians have altered therr plans for the next campaign, and have adopted one, the folly and impracticability of which were pointed out when the subject was first mentioned. They are to leave the fortresses of the Danube, the entrenchments of Choumla, and the passes of the Balkan on their left, instead of profiting by the advantages which the posstsiion of Varna presents for an advance in thai quarter, and to push through Servia and Bosnia into the interior of Turkey ! For this purpose, it is said,' the corps of General Geismnr, before \\ iddin, has been considerably reinforced,' preparatory to its becoming the grand army of operations, and fliose which were actually engaged last autumn are to remain on the defensive and in observation. Genera 1 Diebitsc, by whom these new combinations have bent niade, is said to have set oft'for St. Petersburgh to insure their adoption. Prince Mctternich, it is added, had expressed much apprehension of a system of hostilities which would bring tile war to the borders, of Hungary and Transylvania. Should these statements be correct, it is not likely that the Emperor Nicholas * oultl sanction a plan of operations which offers still less probability of success than the last, anil which, besides, might involve him in differences with a Power whose neutrality is of such great advantage to him. The Sultan no sooner heard that the war was likely to take a new course, than he caused the fortifications of Sophia to tie put into a state of defcnce, and ordered a camp of 50,000 men, chiefly cavalry, to he established before that city. At Constantinople itself, fortifications were forming of so extensive a nature as to secure tire possession of the wells and aqueducts by which the city is supplied with water, and to Cover a force of 200,000 men, should the Sultan be compelled, like the last of the Constantines, to fight for empire and life under the walls of his capital. Hoval Cause, aud being" taken prisoner by the party from whom he had deserted, was shot, October 15th, 1651, in the space of ground between the castle and the present residence of Dr. Du Gard, which ground was then called tbe " cabbage garden."— 1This same Jienbow is called Jlcndebnf, by Vicars, iu his " Parliamentarie Chronicle." ftUscellaneoua EntelUgencr* Mr. O'Connell has given notice that the name of the Catholic Association is to be changed, and in future to be—" The Universal Irish Association." This announcement was received by the Association with cheers. At the same meeting, on Thursday se'nnight, this mischievous partisan uttered language of a more gross nature than any that has escaped even from his lips. Speaking of Orangemen, he said it would be " pleasant to see five or six . of the blood- hounds marched off to Botany Bay;'* " the bloody faction rejoice at the recall of Lord Anglesey;" " blood marks their exultation;" " the infamous faction at dead of night attack the houses of the Catholics and shoot the inmates like dogs," & c. & c. & c.— Again, " is not their object rapine, plunder, and assassination ?" To the prime Minister the Duke of Wellington, he applied epithets of a no less objectionable nature, and their effect with his audience is to elicit applause, and other tokens of approbation. Surely th is sv. st. em ot poisoning the minds of thousands of the Irish people cannot be suffered to continue.— At the same meeting the Right Reverend Dr. Doyle made an offer by letter to accompany Mr. O'Connetl to London; for which the most marked thanks of the Association were voted. He is now advised not to go to London till February 13!!! Mr. O'Connett's threatened attempt to scat himself among our Protestant representatives has occasioned, both among his friends and opponents, a great search for precedents ; and lio small anxiety has been felt as to the way in which he will be received.— The opinion how prevalent among sober persons is, that the whole affair is merely a matter of moonshine, and that, accordingly, the case most in point is the celebrated endeavour of the " great agitator's" countryman and cousin, Daniel O'llourke, to make a lodgement for himself in the moon.— If, in the following account, " House of Commons" tie substituted for the " moon," and the " duke" for the " man in it," we shall be probably reading a true history of the Irish orator's reception when he " seats himself on the reaping houk."— The history is to be found at length in the delectable Irish Talcs of Crofton Crocker. Dan himself is the narrator:— " Dan," said the man in the rnoon, taking a pinch of snuff when I was done, " you must not stay here." " Indeed, sir," says I, "' tis much against my will I'm here ut all: but how am I to go back?"—" That's your business," said he, " Dan: mine is to tell you that here you must not stay ; so be off in less than no time."—" I'm doing no harm," says I, " only holding on hard by the reaping hook, lest I fall off."—" That': what you must not do, Dan," says he—" Pray, sir, may I ask how many you are in family, that you would not give a poor traveller lodging?"'—" I'm by myself, Dan," says he ; " but you'd better let go the reaping hook."—" Faith, and with your leave, I will not let go the. grip."—" You, had jietter, Dan," says be again.—" Why, then, my little fellow," says I, taking the whole weight of him with my eye " from head to foot " there are two words to that bargain, and I'll not budge ; but you may if you like.''— " We'll see how that is to be," says he, and back he went, giving the door such a great bang after him ( for it was plain he was huffed) that I thought the moon and all would fall down with it. Well, I was preparing myself to try strength with him, when back again he comes, with a kitchen cleaver in his hand, and, without saying a word, tie gave two bangs to the handle of the reaping hook that was keeping me up, and u hap ! it comes in two. " Good morning to you, Dan," says the spiteful little old blackguard when lie saw me cleanly falling down with a hit of the handle in my hand: " I thank you for your visit, and fair weather after you, Daniel." I had not time to make any answer to him, for I was tumbling over and over, and rolling at the rate of a fox hunt. oo GABBLETY BILLINGSGATE— A PARODY. Tune—" The Sprig of Shillela."

SHIULD THE CELEBRATED C0MP0SF. n.— This amiable man and eminent com- poser breathed his last about one o'clock on Sunday morning, at a very advanced age ( we believe upwards of 80). A very extraordinary leap, performed by a horse called Chesterfield, and rode by Colonel Russell, laft( the property of the Right Hon. the Earl of Chester- field, but now in the possession of the Right Hon. Lord Alvanley, took place at Melton Mowbray during a run with the celebrated Quorn hounds. The animal leaped the amazing distance of 11 yards 3 inches, be? ng one of the most surprising leaps in the annals of hunting. It appears that" the gallant colonel, in the eagerness of the chase, in making a leap over a fence was not aware of a very wide dyke or brook, which was oil the opposite side, or he would not have chanced so hazardous an exploit: the horse, however, cleared both fence and brook. On mea- suring from the place of flight to flie spot where the horse alighted, the exact distance was proved in the presence of several persons.— Leicester Herald. DESTRUCTION OF FARMING PROPERTY.— In consequence pf the nightly acts of incendiaries, iu the county of Essex, by which farming property to the amount of many thousands of pounds has been destroyed, and the whole country thrown into a state of alarm, in spite of the efforts of the local magistracy to suppress si 1 diabolical a system, an application was made to Sir R. Birnie for tiie assistance of the Bow- street police, a few days ago ; and Bishop, one of the principal officers, was dispatched to use his exertions to bring to justice some of those who have been concerned in the various atrocious outrages. Tha officer, on his arrival iti Essex, ascertained that a most daring and wicked attack had been made, on Friday, upon the property of a gentleman named Marsh, who possesses a large farm, though he is not a resident on the spot, at Topsfield, near Castle Hednrg. The officer proceeded to the village, and he learned that on Friday Mr. Marsh had contracted with some persons to thrash his'wheat by the use of machines, and they were engaged in the work when a band of farming labourers, who had received information, iu all probability from his own labourers, of the circum- stance, came upon the farm, armed with saws anil bill hooks and other weapons— in a very short time they sawed and hewed the machinery to pieces, and, after giving several cheers, left the place. This was done in open daylight, between nine and ten o'clock on Friday morning; and, though there is every reason to believe many of the persons engaged in the affair are well known, yet, from intimidation anil other causes, no information can be obtained by the police, so as to enable them to apprehend the parties. Bishop also ascertained, that, on Friday the 10th instant, two corn stacks, the property of the Rev. L. Way, of Great Yeldham, had been set on fire and the whole consumed. The Rev. Gentleman resides within a mile and a half of the farm where tbe conflagration took place, and is highly respected by all persons residing in that vicinitv. Property has also been destroyed at Finclifield," Maldon, Saling, and Stoke. The sum of £ 200 had been ort'ered for the apprehension of the villains who set the Rev. Mr. Way's stacks on fire; and the sum of £ 250 for the apprehension of those who wilfully set on fire the farming- buildings and corn stacks at a farm called the" « Pupils," belonging to Mr. S. Beddall in the parish of Little, or Barfield Saling, on the 2d instant. ANOTHER FIRE NEAR STRATFORD- ON- AVON. The alarm excited by the late fire at Mr. Lowe's, of Binton, had subsided in a very slight degree, when another, still more destructive, took place in the same neighbourhood, on a farm at Tiddingtonj belonging to the Crown, in the occupation of Mr. Richard Salmon, a respectable farmer residing at Freston- unon- Stour. The following are the par- ticulars:— On Saturday morning se'nnight, about nine o'clock, a fire was discovered to have broken out in a straw- rick in the Stack- yard of the above farm, by two men at work, and although they gave instant alarm, the flames had gained such a height as to render every effort of those upon the spot wholly useless. As soon as the tidings reached Stratford, a. mile and a half distant, post horses were put to the engines, and they were run over with all possible haste. Only a very short time had elapsed before they got there, but by that time tire house, barns, stables, and other buildings, and most of the ricks, were on fire and partly consumed. There was a rick yard at each end of the premises, and as it was in vain to attempt saving the buildings, the two engines were brought to play upon those' pouits, in order to save, if possible, a few of the ricks which had not then taken fire. Fortunately a good supply of water ivas obtained near the spot, and by the greatest exertions this was accomplished. The whole of the buildings stood nearly together; they consisted of an old farm- house ( which had been converted into three or four dwellings for labourers and their families), three barns, stables, cowsheds, feeding- stalls, cart- shed, hovels, and pigsties, were all reduced to a heap of smoking ruins. So rapidly did the destructive element spread over the premises, that most of the furniture in the cottages was consumed. The barns contained fifty bags of wheat, a few thrashed beans, 300 fleeces of wool, and many other things, which were all burnt to a cinder, not an article beiivc saved. In tlie stack- yard were nine ricks of diff'erctit descriptions, and of them were only saved two wheat- ricks, a barley- rick, a bay- rick, and part of another. Some waggons and carts, in tbe hovel, were also preserved; but all tbe fanning implements in the sheds were destroyed. Of eight cows which were in tiie stalls, the last was only got out just as the roof fell in. A store pig and some poultry were also burnt. Sir Gray Skipwith, Bolton King, Esq. William Holbech, Esq. ami many other gentlemen, were upon the ground, all actively employed in endeavouring to avert the impending ruin by their advice and assistance. A large assemblage of neigh, hours and residents of Stratford were also present and rendered every aid in their power No dim't whatever remained on tiie mind of any person present but that Ihe premises were wilfully set on tire. A » the wind blew strongly upon the adjacent homestead of Mr. Smith, it was with great difficulty his stac! » were prevented taking fire'hy the flakes that were continually falling upon them. The buildings were insured; the stock and farming implements were also insured in the Birmingham Fire- office for £ 400. This loss has since been valued at £ 530. The premises since the fire have been watched day and night. The ruins were smoking on Tuesday, and were likely to continue to do so for a day or two longer.— A reward of £ 300 is now offered for siii ii information as will lead to the conviction of the incendiaries by whom the above premises of Mr. Salmon, or of Mr. Lowe, of Binton, were set on fire! The Stratford Fire- Committee met on Sundav when it was determined to apply to the Magistrates, soliciting them to call a meeting of th< J landed proprietors and others to consult upon and adopt the best means for discovering the offenders: and meeting of Magistrates, at which Sir Gray Skipwitli presided, accordingly assembled on Friday last.

W. T. & R1DONORTH, JA*. 12, 1829. The following whimsical circumstance took place lately at the Black Swan Inn, at York :— A honest son of Neptune travelling northwards, having put up there for the night, had desired the chamber- maid to call him early the next morning-, as he wished to proceed on his journey by the coach; and, added he, " as I am a very sound sleeper, you will most likely be obliged to come in and shake me." Accordingly he left his door unfastened, and soon fell asleep. The next morn- ing when he awoke, he found the sun was high, and the coach must hove left him some hours behind. Vexation was his first feeling, the next was that of vengeance against his faithless Molly. Accordingly, he proceeded to inform himself of the time of day, that he might lax her accurately with her omission; aggravated in his mind by every additional hour that he had lost; but after groping- for some time under his pillow for his watch, it was not to be found! This effectually roused him, and lie launched at once ont of bed, but nb sooner felt himself on his feet, than he discovered that his clothes had likewise vanished. It Was now evident to him that he had been robbed ; but a little more rubbing of his eyes convinced him that he must have been stolen himself ' also, as the room, bed, and furniture were all strange to him! Indeed, be was positive in his own mind that he had never beheld them before. It was equally clear to him that he had gone to bed sober 5 so, being completely puz- zled, . Jack sat himself down ou the bed to make a calculation, as he often bad done at Sea, in order to discover, if possible, in what precise part of the globe he just then happened to be* and how he came there. He had read of the enchanted carpet, by which persons could be transported to tbe remotest parts of the world in the twiuUlingof an eye; but he never had heard of these fairy tricks having been played at or near York, to which place he had now distinctly traced himself by his logo. Mia next thought was to take an observation, that is, by looking out of the window ; but he could observe nothing but tops of houses. This view, however, rejoiced his sight, for, thought he, I am still in a civilized country; this place maybe York, where, if my senses do ndt deceive me, I went to bed last iiight~ at ail events, I shall have justice done me. But the enigma still remained unex- plained, and poor Jack had no clothes togo in quest of a solution. At last he espied a bell- rope, and, giving it a hearty tug, he leaped into bed again to wait the issue, cotne who might. It was no en- chanter who answered this summons, but only poor Molly. " So you are there, are you? Pray why did you not call me at seven o'clock, as I desired you?" " I did, Sir, but yon did not answer me." " Theft, why did you not come in and shake me?" " 1 did come in, Sir, but you were gone/"* " 1 tell you I have not been out of bed all night ; you must have gone to the wrong room." " No* Sir, I went to No. 22, the room that I put you in last night; besides, there was your watch under the pillow, your impression in the bed, and your clothes placed ready for putting on," " Then, where the devil am 1? and how came ! here? 1* " You are a story higher, Sir~ just over your own room."— Our hero was now satisfied that he had been rambling over the house in his sleep,- and had mistaken a story in returning to his own room. He then recollected that this was a trick to which he had been addicted when a boy, and the fatigue of a long journey had probably ctiiefly contributed to revive this old habit. The whole affair was now accounted for, and Molly proceeded to fetch the clothes of the disenchanted knight, resolving within herself never to trust her own room door open again, lest it should be entered accidentally by some sleep- walking traveller. rascally description. Premature old age, and shortness of days* form the inevitable fate of a lumberer. Should he even save a little money, which is very seldom the case, and be enabled, for the last few yearS of life, to exist without incessant labour, he becomes the victim of rheumatism, and all the miseries of a broken constitution. But notwithstanding all the toilg of such a pursuit, those who once adopt the life of a lumberer seem fond of it. They are in a great measure as independent in their own way as the Indians. In New Brunswick,' and particularly in Canada, the epithet," lumberer" i ® considered synonymous with a character of spendthrift habits and villainous and vagabond principles. After selling and delivering up their rafts, they pass some weeks in idle indulgence; drinking, smoking, and dashing off in a long coat, flashy waistcoat and trovvsers, Wellington or Hes- sian boots, a handkerchief of many colours round the neck, a watch with a long tinsel chain and numberless brass s^ als, and an umbrella. Before winter they return again to the woods, and resume the pursuits of the preceding year. Some excep- tions, however, I have known to this generally true character of lumberers. Many young men of steady habits, who went from Prince Edward's Island and other places to Miramichi, for the express purpose of making money, have joined the'lumbering parties for two or three years; and, after saving their earnings, returned and purchased lands, & c. 011 which they now live very comfortably.— McGregor's British American Colonics. Protestant Meeting in Cornwall. INDIA. Sketch of Society in New Brunswick. Tn Europe the climate every where requires tJhat fhe human body Should be clothed, which is by no means necessary in India. Religion, too, though it assumes various forms among the numerous sects of Protestants, Roman Catholics, & c. and the disciples 6f the Greek Church; still none of the differences Shock us by their extravagances. We have, in some degree, become familiar with them by our education ; and in the course of passing- from one country to another, a traveller in Europe becomes gradually introduced to the novelties which occur on his jour- ney. With regard to customs, too, though in some fespects different, yet there is a general similarity preserved throughout the European and Christian nations. The same habit every where prevails of saluting by uncovering the head ; of sitting on chairs and couches; of entering houses, and even palaces, with shoes; of eating all sorts of flesh, fish, and fowl, and of using knives, forks, and spoons at our meals. All these customs are so common, and so universal with us, that when we find the whole of them neg- lected, we are naturally disposed to think such a people sunk into the lowest state of barbarism. Our Surprise is not less than that of an Indian chief, who rine day asked me if we had abundant rice crops in England ? but was surprised to hear that neither ricc, nor any other of the Indian grains, wheat excepted, grew in England. You will be equally astonished, ] fto doubt, to learn, that a great part of a population of a hundred millions of inhabitants exists, for the most part, without eating wheaten bread, flesh, fish, or fowl, or drinking fermented liquors of any sort. Both the Indian and the European vvould Very naturally ask of each other, " Then, what is it you do subsist 011?" What* then, must be the feelings of n person, landing fresh from London, without having witnessed any intermediate state of society between flic height of European civilization in the finest city in the universe, and that to w hich he is so suddenly brought! All the several shades of similarity which exist in European society, are lost in this hemisphere. The climate, as I have already observed, requires the fintives to use very little clothing; and the labouring classes, consequently, hardly use any. The middling' and upper classes, instead of being clad in close broad- cloth garments, are habited in long flowing Tinen robes, giving them, in our eyes, an air of effeminacy. The men shave their heads, both for cleanliness ami comfort, and use cotton turbans of various colours, instead of hats. These it is rtide to take off on any pretence ; so that what we do out of courtesy must to them appear ill- bred. The women have their heads uncovered, and wear their Tiair after the fashion of the Greeks. The eye- lids of the Mahommedans are tinged with antimony, to give the eyes brilliancy ; the complexions of the Hindoos are fiot unfrequently dyed yellow with saffron, and the teeth of the Ma'hommedan females are stained black as ebony after they marry.— The dryness and heat of fhe climate tender it unnecessary to use chairs or couches, as in Europe. The floors of the rooms of the upper classes are covered with carpets, brocades, or fine linens. Upon these they sit* eat, and lie down ; hence the custom throughout the East of faking off the shoes before entering on them, which, soiled by the dirt of the streets, would not only injure the furniture, but also pollute the linen gar- ments in which they are clad. The custom of re- moving the shoes from off' the feet, on coming into Borises, and temples, and on approaching superiors, is Very ancient; and a stronger proof of the fact need not be adduced, than by consulting the third chapter of Exodus* when God commands Moses " to piit off his shoes, for he stands 011 holy ground; and vet, till we become accustomed to this habit, it is ex- tremely repugnant to our feelings to see men walking about our houses with naked feet.; and it is the more extraordinary, that we know it is done purely out of respect.— Col. Briggs\ s Letters. Edward the First was a habitual warrior, a bold and sagacious prince, who, like many a man of sense in his own time, and since, saw enough iu the Popedom to repel aud scorn its interference in his own affairs". This he showed in his answer to the Papal mandate against his invasion of Scotland : —" Let me hear no more of this," was the reply of the indignant soldier, " or I shall destroy Scotland from sea to sea."— Monthly Magazine. A RARE TRADE— From the report ofa select commi'tee of the House of Commons, it appears that the beggars in London amounted, at least, to 15,000, who did not get less, 011 an average, than from 5s. to 3s. a day. Some of them were known to make 18s. to 20s. a day; and it was ascertained that a blind man and dog got 30s. daily. Though living in the most wretched apartments, many of them spend at least 50s. a week for their board. Some of the more prudent have considerable sums of money; and a Negro is known to have returned to the West Indies with a fortune of £ 1,500, which he had made by begging in London. The timber trade, which, in a commercial as well as political point of view, is of more importance in employing our ships and seamen than it is generally considered to be, employs also a vast number of people in the British colonies, whose manner of living* owing to the nature Of the business they follow, is entirely different from that of the other inhabitants of North America. Several of these people form what is termed a " lumbering party," composed of persons who are all either hired by a master lumberer, Who pays them wages and finds them in provisions, or of individuals who enter into an understanding with each other, to have a joint interest in the proceeds of their labour. The necessary supplies of provisions, clothing, & c. are generally obtained from the merchants on credit, in consideration of receiving the timber which the lumberers are to bring down the rivers the follow- ing summer. The stock deemed requisite for a umbering party," consists of axes, a cross- cut saw, cooking utensils, a cask of rum, tobacco and pipes, a sufficient quantity of biscuit, pork, beef, and fish ; pease and pearl barley for soup, with a cask of molasses to sweeten a decoction usually made of shrubs, or of the tops of the hemlock tree, aud taken as tea. Two or three yokes of oxen, with sufficient hay to feed them, are also required to haul the timber out of the wood. When thus prepared* these people proceed up the rivers with the provisions, See. to the place fixed on for their winter establishment, which is selected as near a tetream of water, and in the mid^ t of as much pine timber as possible. They commence by clearing away a few of the surrounding trees, and building a eamp of round logs, the walls of which are seldom more than four or five feet high ; the roof is covered with birch barh, or boards; A. pit is dug- under the camp to preserve any thing liable to injury from the frost. The fire is either in the middle or at one end; the smoke goes out through the roof; hay, straw, or fir branches are spread across, or along the whole length of this habitation, on which they all lie down together at night to sleep, with their feet next the fire. When the fire gets low, he who first awakes or feels cold springs up and throws on five or six billets, and in this way they manage to have a large fire all night. One person is hired as cook, whose duty is to have breakfast ready before daylight ; at which time all the party rise, when each takes his " morning, the indispensable dram of raw rum, immediately before breakfast. This meal consists of bread, or occasionally potatoes, with boiled beef, pork, or fish, and lea sweetened with molasses; dinner is usually the same, with pease soup in place of tea, and the supper resefnblcs breakfast. These men are enormous eaters, and they also drink great quantities of rum, which they scarcely ever dilute. Immediately after breakfast they divide into three gangs* one of which cuts down the trees, another hews them, and the third is employed with the oxen in hauling the timber, either to one general road leading- to the banks of the nearest stream, or at once to the stream itself: fallen trees and other impediments in the way of the oxen are cut away with an axe. The whole winter is thus spent in unremitting labour; the snow covers the ground from two to three feet from the setting in of the winter until April, and, 111 the middle of fir forests, often till the middle of May. When tbe snow begins to dissolve in April, the rivers swell, or, according to the lumberer's phrase, the u freshets come down.' 1'' At this time all the timber cut during- the winter is thrown into the water* and floated down until the river becomes sufficiently wide to make the whole into one or more rafts. The water at this period is exceedingly cold; yet for weeks the lumberers are in it from morning till night; and it is seldom less than a month and a half from the time that floating the timber down the streams commences, until the rafts are delivered to the merchants. No course of life can undermine the constitution more than that of a lumberer and raftsman. The winter snow and trost, although severe, are' nothing to endure in comparison to the extreme coldness of the snow- water of the freshets, in which the lumberer is, day after day, wet up to the middle, and often immersed from head to foot. The very vitals are thus chilled and sapped; and the intense heat of the summer sun, a transition which almost immediately follows* must further weaken and reduce the whole frame. To stimulate the organs, in order to sustain the cold, these men swsllow immoderate quantities of ardent spirits, aud habits of drunkenness are the usual conse- quence. Their moral character, with few excep- tions, is dishonest and worthless. 1 believe there are few people in the world 011 whose promises less faith can be placed than those of a lumberer. In Canada, where they are longer bringing down their rafts, and have more idle time, their charac- ter, if possible, is of a still more shuffling and A meeting of freeholders, & c. was held at Truro, on Saturday ; when a Petition against further con- cessions to the Roman Catholics was moved by Clement Carlion, Esq. seconded by the Earl of Fal- mouth, and carried with acclamation. In seconding the petition, the Earl of FALMOUTH said— His friends and brother Cornishmen knew that it was not by any influence they were assembled, except by the influence of that strong feeling which as one of them he came to express; they were brought together by their duty towards themselves and their families) and by tiieir attachment to a Constitution Which secured to them the many bless- ings they enjoyed. He, too, would discharge his duty in that station of life to which it had pleased God to call him. He would support those who would be true to themselves; he would support that principle of the constitution, in this its hour of peril, which he firmly believed to be the best security for their rights and liberties. Would that he could open the eyes of the blind ! that he could inspirit the weak- hearted ! But if they could not do this, at least let them firmly and unitedly resist the efforts of the interested and designing. They had heard much, too much, of what was called Roman Catholic Emanci- pation. It had been overloaded with lawyer- like pleading. He begged pardon of the lawyers present for the expression ; but, as they knew, it was their duty to make the best of a case, Whether good or bad — it was our duty to wipe away the dust that had been thrown into our eyes, and to see this question in its simple and its real form. The question was, whe- ther we should have fcnother constitution. He defied any man to prove that the admission of Roman Catholics into the legislature would not destroy the very essence of the constitution of 1688. They had read and well knew how a Roman Catholic King had been driven from the throne— for what ? Why for conspiring with the Roman Catholic priests against the liberties of the people. It was then that, Protest- antism became the essential basis of the throne, the parliament, and the government. It was then that popish mystery and intrigue were excluded from the State— from that time the reigning family dated its title to the throne— it was then that the last abuses of kingly power vanished before our confirmed and well- defined liberties. If, then, we undid the result Of that glorious work, could it be gaid that we should not be changing the very essence of our Protestant constitution ? But what were the reasons that had been urged for so dangerous a change ? We were told that the pacification of Ireland made it necessary. In the first, place, there seemed little reason to suppose that it would pacify that country, or that it would be pacified, if the Roman Catholic power were increased, without the entire ascendancy of its popish church. This many Irish Protestant landowners had acknowledged. The priest, say they, possesses him- self of the souls of our tenants, of their wives' souls, and of their daughters' souls, and in short, literally, to use a common phrase, they cannot say their souls are their own. What, then, would you have us do? We have no alternative, and we must go with the stream. His answer was— that may be very good Irish reasoning, but he could not admit the force of it here in England. But supposing- that emancipation would pacify Ireland, were there no other considera- tions? If they believed that the vital interests of this great empire will be affected hy it— were they to stake their public prosperity, their private happiness, upon the chances of so doubtful and dangerous an experiment? That it would be dangerous, who that sees the despotism of the Irish Roman Catholic Association guided by a subtle and designing priest- hood could deny ? The noble lord then read an extract, from Lord Bexley's admirable address to the men of Kent. " Has not the Roman Catholic Associ- ation," says Lord Bexley, 14 usurped the privileges of parliament and the prerogatives of the crown ? does it not impose taxes? has it not created an order— the order of liberators ? a very ominous name, and one that too plainly indicates very alarming designs." To which 1 will add, said the Noble Earl, has not this Association the countenance and support of tbe whole Roman Catholic population from the nobleman to the peasant ? And will it still be said that this body, so marshalled and boasting of its united millions, would not be dangerous in the state with objects in view enjoined by their religion and with increased power in their hands ? The truth was* that the very freedom of a British subject, as was forcibly observed by the Duke of Wellington m his speech in parliament last summer, formed another obstacle to Roman Catholic emancipation— and made the example of foreign monarchies, which, by the bye, were quite recent, wholly inapplicable to this country. He would tell them why. I11 those countries, if a subject, became dangerous to the state, be might be handed over to the police, imprisoned, or sent out of the country in a very summary way. Here we had such a thing as a habeas corpus, in virtue of which any man accused must be shortly brought fo trial; he miwt be tried before his equals; by at Briti* h jury, and he could not be punished without the clearest evidence of his guilt. Thank God, it was so. Thank God, it was a principle of our law that guilty men. should escape rather than innocent men should be punished ; but this very principle must, open a wide field for popish intrigue and mystery. Then it was said, fhe Pope in these days was a mere old woman. Be it so— but they very well knew that, old women, if wickedly inclined, might, be very mischievous : he meant to say nothing against old women ; they were generally Very excellent, people, and nowhere did more excel- lent. old women abound than in England. Whether the Roman Catholic old women would be equally safe under the influence of their priests, with their sons and brothers in power, he might be allowed to doubt. But, say the emancipators— the Roman Catholic religion is changed, it is not what it was, nnd bigotry and intolerance are only imputable to Pro- testants— that is, a liberal Protestant meets a Roman Catholic— I thank you, says the Roman Catholic, for your vote in our favour. Oh! cries the Protestant, your religion is changed, you are all good fellow's, and very safe subjects. Excuse me, says the Roman Catholic, we are good fellows and safe subjects— but our religion is by no means changed, for it is un- changeable. Nonsense, my dear sir, answers the liberal, you cannot understand these things so well we M. P.' s who have been debating them for years - I say it is changed, it must, be changed— the march of intellect has changed all things, it has changed men and women most marvellously, and I shall make a speech to- night and say so. They should hear w hat Lord Bexley said on that point. " The alliance ( said be) between popery and liberalism is no new event— every one of the measures which cost King James his crown, were taken in the name of liberty of conscience and the removal of political distinctions on account of religious differences j but. our ancestors knew that whilst he talked of toleration, his real aim was perse- cution, and at their utmost risk, and by the profuse expenditure of their blood and treasure, they achieved the revolution, and established that system of Pro- testant laws, and constitution, under which for nearly a century and half this country has enjoyed a degree of religious toleration and civil freedom unknown in any other age or nation."— My friends, continued the uoble Earl, the Roman Catholic religion is unchanged] and it never can be changed as to its dangerous principles and doctrines, until it ceases td be the Roman Catholic religion. It is an iritriguing religion— it acknowledges a foreign power which it declares to be supreme and infallible, and it forbids the use of the Bible unless garbled and defaced hy its perversions and idolatries. The Noble Earl then read a letter from Plymoiith, which he had only heard of that morning; and which confirmed the fact that Dr. Collinridge, the Roman Catholic bishop, had lately informed the Portuguese there, who had received about 1500 Bibles from the Bible Society without note or comment, tliat if they did not abstain from such offences against their own church, its doors should be closed to them, enjoining them to get rid of these Bibles. And now, said the Noble Earl, to return to this harmless old woman, the Pope, 1 will show you what she ha* contrived to do, and tiow she has been able to keep up the influence of the Stuart, family in Ireland. It is a fact brought to light for the first time by the committees of parliament of 1825, that from the revolution fo the extinction of the house of Stuart by Cardinal York's death at Rome, only a few years ago, the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ireland continued to be nominated by that family- fact, which at once proved its great influence in Ireland, and fhe dsrk and impenetrable secrecy with which the aftkirs of fhe popish church have been managed in that country— Did not this speak volumes to us ? He might say more upon it— he might re- mind them that still Roman Catholic descendants of Charles 1. were living, and that one of them was the present heir to the crown of France, but he forbore to do so, for our gracious King wanted no reminder of the principles which seated his family upon the throne, and was determined to adhere to them. He lamented as much as any man the disturbed state of Ireland, but be could not, a, the petition said disregard the lessons of all history and experience , and they should not be blind to that which this very evil has laid open to us It'proved what the Roman Catholic priesthood could do even with fettered hands that they could excite their millions to the very verge of rebellion, and exact thousands even from the pocket* of half- starving peasantry. It was a provi- dential warning to us— we should be wise before it was too late. He could say much upon this important part of the subject, but the flattering manner in which he had been listened to made it the more his duty not to exhaust the patience of the meeting. — The Noble Earl concluded a speech of unusual animation and cffect in the following terms:— If, then, Ireland is disturbed, it is the priests and their demagogues who agitate her, for their rallying cry is agitation. If she is disturbed, is there not a head and a hand at the helm of government that can quiet her? Has not the Duke of Wellington put down the mightiest foreign enemy by whom this country has yet been assailed, aud will he crouch to the O'Con- nells, the O'Gormans, anil such men as they are ?— The son of that great man's military glory has, iu all probability, set; if so, it has set as it arose, with unequalled splendour. Let us hope that his civil career may shed a less brilliant, perhaps, but a tran- quillizing lustre on the destinies of his country— that his firm blind may not be shaken hy the suggestions of more timid men ; and that when loaded with years and honour he shall sink into his grave, he may die n'risullicd by tbe charge of having taken one jot from the safeguards of our Protestant constitution. The voice of the people— of a thinking, educated people, who can estimate its value, shall strengthen the bauds of his' government. The voice of the people is with the King— it was declared at Penendcn Heath— it has been declared in Cornwall; let it be manifested here. Yes, my friends, the King is with us, and it would be an insult to Cornishmen to ask them if they would support their King. iHicteltaiicoiio Etmthgrnc?. We have received, says Thursday morning's Brighton Gazette, the following letter from our correspondent at Constantinople :— « Constantinople, December 10.— We are quite barren of news here, having nothing material from the armies, save that they remain quiet; indeed; the season does not allow the Russians to advance witliout very great risk of having their army buried in snow ; neither can they convey their artillery. or provisions, so that they would be in danger of perishing on the mountains for want of food. The Dardanelles are closely blockaded. Ten sail of ships have been sent back by the Russians, laden with grain, and are gone to Smyrna. They will no doubt discharge there, and send the grain by land to Constantinople. It is in • ain for the Russians to attempt to Starve Constanti- nople, as the Turks can get supplies, I am informed, by land from Egypt, on camels, at a very moderate expense. Besides, 1 believe it is not impracticable to evade the blockading squadron, and enter the Darda- nelles in the night, or, in blowing weather, even during the day. I know those who would not fear to undertake it, if the Turks would give good freights; but there seems to be little exertion among them. The Austrian merchantmen still find means to bring down provisions from the Black Sea; and they are getting from 500 to 550 per cent, profit. The English are not permitted to go up, lest they should enter the Russian service. Since writing the above, I am informed the Turks are tilting out an expedi- tion, and it is supposed they are going down the Dardanelles to attack the Russians, and enforce a free passage for the importation of grain, & c." THE CUCKOO.— There is now in the possession of Mr. William Plowman, of Tollerton, near Easing- » wold, a very fine cuckoo, which, unlike most of thai species of fhe feathered tribe, is perfectly healthy and cheerful in its confinement. It was taken from the nest in a field belonging to Mr. Lowthei', in that village, in the month of May last, aud has been since that period fed on raw meat and worms; and, from its vivacity, little doubt is enter- tained but that it will commence its well- known cry early in the spring. Button mentions several instances where young cuckoos were kept in cages; but which did not, however, survive winter, most probably for want of proper nutriment, The only instance we recollect of one being preserved thro' Ihe winter is mentioned by Bewick, in his history of Land Birds, aud it was fed iu a similar manner to the one above- mentioned. — York Chronicle. A Mr. Cutbbert, it appears, has announced bis intention to dispute with Mr. Bish, the honour of filling the vacancy in fhe representation of Leomin- ster, occasioned by Mr. Stephenson's flight. We believe it to be generally thought, however, that " JSteks usual Inch" will prevail on this occasion against the already threatened, or any other oppo- sition, which may be attempted against it. The Act of Parliament which applies fo Mr. Rowland Stephen- son, in consequence < if his bankruptcy, is 52d Geo. III. c. 144. An Installation of fhe Knights of the Garter is expected to take place in St. George's Chapel on the 23d of April. A REMARKABLE Fo* CHASE. — On Friday, the Pth instant, Mr. H. M. Chadwick's hounds had a most extraordinary run. They found a brsce of foxes at Chelmsley Wood, in Warwickshire, ( one of Lord Digby's coverts) and, after « hanging'' a short time, the hunted fox " went away," with the whole body of the pack close at his brush, over that severe country, by the villages of Yardley, Sheldon, lilmdon, & c. His point, no doubt, was Hampton Coppice, but being headed in that direction, he swam the canal, and crossed that fine scenting country by Solihull and Shirley- lieath, pointing for Monkspath Wood. For the first 45 minutes, this was one of the stoutest ' things" ever seen ; and the country being deep and " pewy," and fhe fences strong, horses were made a terrible example of. This gallant fox still keeping his head straight for Lord Plymouth's Woods, skirted that chain of coverts— Clows- wood, Wren's- nest, Earl's- wood, and Arnold's, up to timberslade Obelisk; Crossed the whole of the open park, and away on the other side for Ford Hall and Mockley Wood, in Wor- cestershire, where a fresh fox jumped up in the midst of 1 he pack; but, notwithstanding this, such was theii' stoutness, that they " set to" once more running as hard as ever, and after a brilliant burst at least of fifty minutes more, ( from Mockley,) tliey killed their fox at dark, just as he was entering Lad brook Park. The whole of this tremendous run occupied four hours and fifty minutes, during which, at. least eleven different parishes were passed through ; and at one time, the hounds were full one and twenty miles in a direct line from Chelmsley Wood, ( close to Coleshill) where they found in the morning : but " a chosen few," of course ont of an immense field, were enabled to reach the end, and towards the close of the run Lord Dorchester, was on his THIRD horse. The hounds, horses, master of the pack, whippers in, & c. remained all night at Umberslade Park, the seat of Bolton King, Esq. whose kindness and hospitality reminded one of " days of old." The Pro- Catholic Party arraign the Brunswick Clubs for violence, while they support all the views of that very moderate assembly called the Catholic Association !— Another party, calling itself Protestant, affects to condemn alike the Roman Catholic Association and the Brunswick Clubs! and this; we suppose, they mean to call being liberal and being just .'— They forget, that the principles on which the Brunswick Clubs are formed, and for which, through evil report anil through good report, they mean to persevere, are those principles on which alone the title of His Majesty and of his Royal House to the Throne of these Realms is founded; and on the maintenance of which the existence of our Protestant Constitution in Church and State entirely depends. We understand that the Right Reverend the Bishop of Durham, and several other dignitaries of fhe church, have had frequent and rather long conferences on the subject of the all- engrossing Catholic claims What is the precise nature of their deliberations has not, of course, transpired. We are happy to see that the Council of the King's College are advancing to maturity the arrangements of this noble establishment. This is scarcely the place or the occasion to bestow praise on any indi- viduals connected with its incipient operations; yet we cannot forbear giving publicity to the fact, that the Bishop of London, a prelate eminent for such high attainment in learning and piety, has been undeviatingly assiduous in conceiving, fostering, and maturing this counterpoise to an institiition where religion was to be banished by the first and promi- nent resolution of its founders from tbe walls of their institution. Sir Robert Harry lnglis too has been mentioned as unremitting in lending the weight of his polished and classical mind to the formation of a college where those studies are to be pursued to which his own eollcgiate honours have evinced his devotion. We could not desire more abundant . uccess to this christian and classical establish inent, than by anxiously hoping that it may foster the genius and piety of such ecclesiastics as Dr. Blomfield, and animate and reward the talents and chaste learning, the constitutional nnd Protestant feelings, of such laymen as Sir Robert Inglis. FKKNCH STATISTICS.— The amount of deaths in Paris in 1827 was 23,533. Of this amount 9,02F, including those deposited at the Morgue, died iu prisons and hospitals. The amount of biiitas in France for 1827 was 993,191, of which number 72,472 were illegitimate, nearly 1 in every 13. In the departments in general, the proportion was 1 in 21, but in the departments of the north it was 1 in 10 ; the Rhone 1 in 9J; and in the Seine 1 in 6J. The number of suicides in Paris is not men- tioned, but, in proportion to the population, it is always greater than the suicides in London. This has been ascertained beyond a doubt, and, if we recollect rightly, by Dr. Burroughs. To some of our leaders this may appear extraordinary, but the fact is, that, in London and in every other part of our territories, coroners' inquests are held upon self- murderers, and every case is made public. In France, and other countries on the Continent, snch a practice is not followed. The amount of bodies taken out of the Seine annually is very great. They are carried to the Morgue, aud, if not owned and carried away by their friends in a certain space of time, they are buried. The crime of suicide, which some foreign writers have so liberally ascribed almost exclusively to this country, is imputable less to us than any other people. According to accounts obtained with great labour by the author to whom we have just alluded, there is not a single state in Germany, in which suicides are not ( in proportion to the population) more numerous than in Groat Britain. ANECDOTE.— The lafe Mr Serjeant Lens used to tell with great glee the following anecdote of his learned brother of the coif, Mr. Serjeant Hill:— " Having business to transact with him, he weut to his chambers in the New- square, Lincoln's Inn, and found him with the bookcascs, tables, chairs, aud carpet, on the ong side of the room, the quantity of furniture crowded together, hardly leaving space for the Learned Lainyer to move on lhat side of the room, while tile other h ilf of the apartment was without a single article. After the usual greeting, ' Pray,' said Mr. Serjeaut Lens, ' what do you intend to do with a| l the furniture arranged in this strange fashion!' The learned Serjeant replied, ' That since half his chamber had been found to stand in tbe parish of St. Clement Danes, he had formed this encampment on the side of the room belonging to Lincoln's Inn, to prevent the officers from distraining his goods for the poor rates.' At a future period Mr. Serjeant Lens visited his ' brother in distress,' as he humourously called him, aud actually found the officers in the apart- ment ( having effected an entrance through the back window,) and his learned brother daring them to touch his goods out of the parish, the boundary of which he had carefully marked on the floor. The officers were so intimidated at the threats, that they never again molested the learned Serjeant, who continued to reside iu the chambers without paying any parochial dues." A cute LAD.— A few days ago, the master of an evening school, in a country village, having endeavoured to beat the alphabet into the head of one of his scholars, found to his mortification that he had been cultivating, a barren soil, as the student could not even remember the names of the letters. The pedagogue being enraged at the boy's stupidity, and shewing him the letter A, asked him, Whether he knew that letter? He repliedj ees, zur. What is it then, said the master? I doant uaw, zUr, answered the boy. How is that, sirrah ; you said you knew it but just this minute? Ay, zur, zo I does; 1 noze tin very well by zight, but ' drot me if I can recollect his neame ! SLEEP. The capacity for sleeping, like the capacity for eating and drinking, is to be increased by indulgence. Much depends upon habit. Some people can sleep w hen they will, and can wake when they will; and are as much refreshed with a short nap as a long one. Sea- faring people have this property from education. One gentleman, who entertained a notion that a second nap was injurious, invariably got up as soon as he awoke, no matter how early the hour— winter or summer. Others, again, will sleep for four- and- twenty hours, The celebrated Quin bad this faculty. " What sort of a morning is it, John?" " Very wet, sir." " Any mullet in the market ?" " No, sir," " Then, John, you may call me this time to- morrow." So saying he composed himself to sleep, and got rid of the ennui of a dull day in the arms of Morpheus. We understand that the heir presumptive to an earldom, went a short time since to Ireland to visit a young and beautiful heiress to whom he was engaged — It is said that some slight difference induced the swain to transfer his affections to a lovely nymph of 17, and one of 17 children, not far from the place, and succeeded in eloping with her. The youthful lovers had not proceeded far when a near relation of the damsel overtook them, and assured the young Lothario that such manner were not admissible in that island— that he must be married immediately. A very short discussion ensued, and the youthful pair were tied by the indissoluble knot, and the lovely heiress left to bless some nobler spirit.— Country 1- uper. STEADY SERVICE — There is a journeyman at this time employed in the house of Messrs. Gillew, the celebrated cabinetmakers, of Lancaster, who has worked uninterruptedly at the same bench, upon the same spot, for seven and fifty years ! This veteran mechanic is now seventy- nine years old. His sight continues as good as it ever was, and as a p. oof that he is now as active as the best of us, be earned, as his last year's wages, sixty- seven pounds. Wednesday the remains of the ancient Archi- episcopal Palace at Croydon, were sold at the Mart. This extensive palace once covcred 13 acres of land. The principal remains are the ancient hall, with its curiously constructed roof, the chapel, the judges' chambers, and the old head of water. There are now a number of modern buildings on the site, which is bounded by the river Wandle. The whole pro- duced £ 6,700. The most extensive public hospital in Europe is that of Milan, which is endowed with landed estates producing an annual revenue of upwards of £ 70,000. Among the numerous instructions contained in the will of the late Mr. Smith, surgeon, of Crawley, was a codicil, directing that, immediately on his decease, a large free, which for many years had stood before his door, should be, without loss of time, cut down, and a coffin constructed therefrom, to contain bis remains — the eofiin boards to be two inches in thickness, and to be fastened together with mortice, tenon, and pins, not a particle of iron being to be used in the receptacle of mortality. These instruc- tions were most strictly attended to.— Brighton Herald. PRESTON HORSE FAIR.— The great winter hors » ; fair, held last week, at Preston, was very fully attended by both buyers and sellers. Amongst the former were some agents of government, whd purchased a few strings of cavalry horses, at prices varying from £ 30 to £ 60. The number of prime hunters was but small compared with some former fairs. Of second and third rate horses the shew was very good, and the demand remarkably brisk: Upon the whole, there has seldom been more business done, and the sellers have generally obtained the full amount of prices they expected to realize. SINGULAR ESCAPE OF AN INSOLVENT.— At the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, iu London, on Wednesday, Samuel Carridge came up to be heard on his petition, but was opposed by a creditor, named Holtnan; when, from the circum- stances which were deduced during the examina- tion, it appeared to the court that he had made' away with considerable property, and thereby defrauded his creditors Upon this ground the. court adjudged him to be confined for a period of eight calendar months writhin the walls of the prison. At the termination of the husiness of that day, the insolvent was conveyed along with others, whose cases had been determined1, back to prison ; for it must be stated, that as the warrant of the court for the remand, or even the discharge of ait insolvent, is not sent to the keeper of the prison until the following morning, the unfortunate debtors are invariably taken back to the prison until that time, and then the gaoler acts according to the warrant. When the above- named insolvent, Carridge, ( who, it is surmised, had been favoured with a friendly arrest for the purpose of enabling hiin more readily to take the benefit of the act) arrived at his old quarters, he fouud that his friend who had arrested hiin had left his discharge at the prison gate. It was then too late to obtaiu a detainer against him that evening, and as the; warrant for his being kept in prison was not expected until morning, there was no authority to detain him ; he therefore paid his gate fees, and as a discharged prisoner walked off, probably laughing- at the eight months' sentence of the commissioners^ On Thursday, Mr. Heath, on behalf of Mr. Holtnan, the insolvent's opposing creditor, applied, on an affidavit, detailing the above facts, to have the, adjudication on the insolvent's case stayed, he being- at present out of custody. Tbe Court said they had no power to grant the application. The opposing- creditor should have lodged a detainer against the insolvent, and so have defeated the friendly arrest.'' Mr. Heath said they did not know where to find him. The Court said they might give him into custody whenever they caught him. On Wednesday last a fine log of Honduras mahogany was opened, belonging to Messrs. Shep- herd and son, timber merchants, of this town, measuring 17 feet long by near two feet square* When the sawyers had got about four feet from the end, they came in contact with a pithy substance, which they were at a loss to account for, and upon farther examination, it apipeared to be a large damaged place, between two and three feet long, and 14 or 15 inches wide, full of beetle nests and excrements ; and so offensive was the smell which issued from it, that it was scarcely sufferable by any who approached near it. Owing to the men, at fhe beginning, not perceiving any thing different in the rottenness of the wood, except the smell, but what they might have met with on opening any other log, only two of these shells or nest£ have been preserved entire, although the place was full of them and dead beetles. The circum-^ ference of the largest is inches, and has four small holes in it— three at each corner, measuring, the largest of tbem a quarter of an inch, and the others not quite so large, and the remaining one still smaller, which was in a distinct part of the shell The shell seems to be composed of a dark - brown. bark, and is nearly the thickness of a half pennyy. and. - the shape of each is a triangular form. A fine black beetle, upwards of an inch in length, and perfect iti every part, except the legs, has been preserved. What is most extraordinary, the log on each side for about four inches, is as beautiful and perfect, wood as any other part of it, and hot a place any- where either could or can be perceived where these destructive insects have made an entrance.— Sheffield Mercury: THE DF. CK CLEARED FOR ACTION.—- The British were already at their quarters, where their anxiety to pour out their fire on the foe, whilst approaching, was betrayed by the dumb show, significant gestures, and imploring glances of the captains of the guns, whilst catching the eye of their commander, as they looked alternately through the port- holes at the closing enemy or along the sights of their guns. Nor could their cool gallantry fail to inspire him with a double confidence, when he observed some actually chalk- ing the initials of their names on their tell- tale shot,, whose effect they appeared extremely impatient to try on the cneniy whilst barely within carronade range. To this impatience the only answer given consisted in a short roll of the drum, to obtaitt attention, accompanied by a wave of the com- mander's hand as he stood on the poop. Awaro of the purport of this invitation, the men deserted their guns for a moment, and eagerly crowded aft. Nothing could be more imposing than the fearless eye, the high bearing, and efficient state of preparation of each, as he repaired to the quarter- deck, exhibiting* in their weapons and light dress, from which every thing cumbersome had been discarded, a specimen of active force which might well be contrasted with fhe heavily- armed aud hampered soldier in action. They had all been selected, as already mentioned, with that attention to height, muscular vigour, and activity, which constitutes what in the service is termed " picked men." And, though there were minute points of attire wherein some differed from the rest, they were all bare- necked, bcire- artned, having tucked up their shirt- sleeves to their shoulders, to prevent being incommoded on duty, and without either jacket or waistcoat Instead of the latter article of dress, each had substituted as a support, during possibly long- protracted exertion, a handkerchief tied extremely tight round the waist. Above this a black leathern belt was buckled, sustaining the cutlass or sword peculiar to the sailor; for, contrary to the general practice, Staunch bad trained all his men to the broad- sword, so as to enable them to act as boarders. Superadded to this belt, the captains of the guns wore another, to which was affixed a small tube box, containing about twenty or thirty little funnels formed of paper, charged with powder, and terminating in a quill, to be inserted as priming in the touch- holes of the guns; thus preventing those serious accidents too common from the explosion of powder- horns by the flashes of each other's guns. The black silk kerchief was transferred from the neck, and now, bound round the head, restrained within its folds every straggling hair, not excepting even those lovelocks, or long curls depending- from the temples, which most youthful sailors cherish with no little vanity, as ornameuts the most becoming in the eyes of the fair.
