There was a most numerous meeting of the mem- bers on Friday evening at the Royal Institution, the attraction being a promised narrative by Or. Clarke of his ascent of Mont Blanc in 1825, the Highest of the Alpine range of mountains. Dr. Clarke, in a simple and instructive ( the lecture was intended more as an instructory one to parties intending to make the ascent from a scientific detail) manner, led his audience from Geneva to the summit of the Mont Blanc, detailing all tbe difficulties of the enterprize, which, however, with caution, he considers not by any means so dangerous its has been repre- sented. At 9,000 feet ahove the level of the Medi. terranean the air becomes extremely rarified, and the sky exhibits a blue- black appearance. He doesjiot consider it at all safe for persons to attempt the ascent having a tendency to apoplexy, for at the height of 15,000 feet above the level of the sea, the extremely rarified state of the air, as well as the almost unbear- able oppression of the sun's rays, though surrounded with snow, would increase that tendency to ah alarm, ing extent. So oppressive is the sun that on sitting down in the shade he was asleep instantly. The passage of chink^ as the lecturer styled it), just aUove the Grande Plateau ( a surface of ice and snow many acres in extent, 10,000 feet above the level of the sea), is a point of great difficulty. This chink is about seven feet wide and of immeasurable depth. To get over it, the guides, at the utmost peril of their lives, first proceed to render the passage more easy ; and the lecturer describes the feelings of the traveller to be horrible, when it is known that the most minute accident would precipitate the guide to the depth below. He cautions travellers to pa! y implicit atten- tion to guides, as the accident in 1822, when three persons sunk into the caverns of snow, was occasioned by the want of caution. It is somewhat appalling, said Dr. Clarke, to be carried over an abyss of unknown depth, slung upon cords and drawn over. On arriving at the summit of Mont Blanc the toils are amply repaid. Language, said the lecturer, cannot depict the scene before the traveller. The eye wanders over immeasurable space. The sky appears to recede, and the vision possesses double power. The Alpine scenery here is awfully grand, and the alternate thaw and freezing ( for when the sun is down it freezes rapidly) produces the most grotesque figures. The lerturer described his progress upon the mountain by a reference to the model of Mont Blanc, belonging to the Zoological Society, which rendered him perfectly clear in his details. The only living creature found on the summit of Mont Blanc is a small white butterfly ( the ansoniaj which flits over the snow. The chamois is found 10,000 feet above the level of the sea ; Mont Blanc is 15,500 feet above the Mediterranean. Specimens were exhibited of the compositions of all the mountains round Mont Blanc. Periodically au immense quantity of snow falls down from the summit of the Mont, enough, as the guide said, to crush Europe like flies, were it within its vortex. On throwing stones down the precipices, thousands of feet deep, the traveller feels an almost irresistible desire to throw himself after them. The lecturer, on concluding, was most loudly applauded.

German papers state that the Grand Vizier intended to proceed at the head of 40,000 men to the relief of Silistria, und that he had sent orders to Hussein 1' ncha to march at the heail of his whole force in the same direction, in order lo cover his flank, while he himself attacked in person the RflsSian army in the immediate neighbourhood of the fortress. These formidable dispositions are portentous of important resnfts. Inciters from Malta, dated May 27, state that the English fleet hail sailed tor Navarino. The Greek blockade was to be raised forthwith. No ulterior destination of the fleet is mentioned. There had been no recent arrivals from the Levant, on account of the prevalence of westerly winds. Calcutta papers received yesterdny to the 14th of February state that Lord William Bentinck arrived at that presidency on the 3d. His health was com- pletely re- established. A private letter says that the Indiau government has enacted a regulation, giving British- born subjects the liberty of holding lands on long leases— a measure which it is hoped will pave the way to the free settlement of Englishmen in India. Further information, though not official, has reached town this morning from fhe F. ast of Europe. The Allgemeive Zeitunp, in an article from Jassy, states that the Russian flotilla on the Danube was vigorously, bombarding Silistria, to Ihe relief of which a part of the army of the Grand Vizier was marching. On the 23d ult. the Turks are said to have made a sally and rendered themselves masters of some Russian redoubts, but they were subsequently re- taken after a sanguinary action, in which the Russian general Pcrowsky was wounded, and a Turkish Aga made prisoner. General Roth had dctachcd a part of his army to reinforce that before Silittria. It is stated by the same paper, that the Allies have decided that the continental boundary of Greece shall be drawn from the Gulf of Volo to that of Ambraria. All the territory sOtith of this line is to constitute the Greek State, with the adjacent islands, comprehending F. ubcea and the Cyclades. The supremacy of the Ottoman Porte is to be admitted, but Greece is to be governed by an hereditary monarch, paying, after four years, an annual tribute of 1,500,000 piastres. During the first year only one- fifth of this s9tn is to be paid, and it is' afterwards to be increased gradually every year until the maxi- mum of 1,500,000 is reached The Greek monarch is to be a christian prince, chosen for the first time by the Allies in concert with the Porte, hut not to be a member of their own families. To these terms Russia is a party ; but as that power cannot negociate with Turkey during the war, she agrees to be bound by the English and French ministers, who are in- tested with full powers to act for her. 1 The Earl of Aberdeen faid a number of official documents on the table of the House of Lords last night, relative to the relations between this country and Portugal. The most important of these docu- ments are— a nole of the Marquis Barbacena, dated in November lasf, claiming in the name of Don Pedro, und in favour of Queen Donna Maria II. the assistance of this country against Don Miguel— and the answer of the Earl of Aberdeen thereto. The Marquis grounds his claim on the long series of treaties of alliance between Portugal and England. In answer to the claim, the Earl contends that " the existing treaties, whether taken together or separately, do not furnish any real support to the claim which has been advanced ; neither is there any such obli- gation implied by their general tenour and spirit." The claim was consequently rejected. A debate rather unexpectedly arose relative to the foreign policy of Ministers, whiih was warmly censured by the Marquis of Clanricarde. The Earl of Aberdeen and tbe Duke of Wellington entered into a general explanation and defence of the points referred to ; and Lords Holland and Goderich ex- pressed themselves dissatisfied with the explanation, more particularly with reference to the transactions ftt Terteira. hi fhe course of the discussion, the Earl of Aberdeen, in adverting to the state of the war in the East, observed '• that it was impossible to look at the « ituatuiu of the Turkish Empire without seeing that any great change in that situation might materially aff'ccl the balance of power throughout Europe."— The Royal Assent was declared to a num- ber of public bills, and tbe London Bridge bill was passed as a tempora ry rneasfire. Their Lordships'on rising adjonmed until Monday. In the House of Commons, the report of the sehct committee appointed to inquire into the charges against Mr. Nash, was presented ; and it completely exonerates Mr. Nash from all blame in the trans- actions referred to. Colonel Davies entered into a long explanation of his conduct relative to the inquiry, Kith the result of which be expressed him- self much dissatisfied, and stated that early next session he should again bring the subject under the consideration of the house.— Mr. Sadler also gave notice that, early iu the ensuing session, he should introduce a measure with a view to bettering the condition of the labouring poor of the country.— The house adjourned until Monday, and the business of the present session may now be considered as closed. We have just conversed with a gentleman from Cumberland county, who informs us that in boring through a rin k for salt water, a fountain of petroleum, or volatile oil, was struck at the depth of one hun- dred and thirty feet. When the auger was with- drawn the oil rushed up twelve or fourteen feet above the surface of the earth, and it was believed that about seventy- five gallons were discharged per minute, forming quite a bold stream from the place ti the Cumberland river, into which it discharged itself. The fountain or stream was struck four or five days previous to tbe departure of our informant, at which time the quantity of petroleum discharged had not perceptibly diminished.' Falling into the Cumberland river the volatile oil covered a con- siderable portion of the surface of the stream for many miles below. If ignited, it would present a magnificent, if not an appalling spectacle. British Oil, which is extensively used as a medicine, is manufactured of petroleum. We have seen a speci- men of this oil— it ignites freely and produces a flame as brilliant as gas light. Our informant states that in the same . neighbourhood in which this immense foun- tain of petroleum has been discovered, Dr. John Croghan has succeeded, by boring, in obtaining an abundant supply of salt water, at a depth of more than two hundred feet, which now rises about twenty- five feet above the ordinary level of Cumberland river. The works, we are assured, will prove highly useful to the surrounding country, and profitable to the en- terprising proprietor— Louisville Advertiser. The Session of Parlktment is drawing fo a close, and whatever our representatives may think of it., their constituents begin to wonder what, they have been doing, ever since the 5th of February. It is true they have compensated in the quality for the quantity of their work— the overthrow of the Consti- tution is perhaps enough for any one session, or for anyone Parliament; but as for any thing else done during the last five months, what is it ? The state of fhe country could not be considered, because there were but 37 members present; the Slave Trade question eannot be agitated, because Mr. Buxton is indisposed ; for West India affairs there has been no time; Parliamentary Reform having fallen fo fhe disposal of Lortl Blandford, came to nothing; the state of Europe, and the political relations of Eng- land, it has not been thought proper to toOch Upon ;' the Blockade of the Dardanelles is too delicate an affair to discuss under existing Circumstances; the course intended to be pursued with respect, to Portu- gal it would be premature to notice— the Free Trade question it would be dangerous to meddle with— the East India Charter does not press— the East Retford Disfranchisement may wait— the reduction or com- mutation of the Assessed Taxes it is necessary to post- pone— the new Equity Judge Bill is withdrawn— in short, except a Bill for legalising the Sale of Part- ridges, which lias been lost, and another Bill for legalising the Sale of Paupers, which was withdrawn, one cannot exactly perceive the result of the long sittings, the late watchings, and the early risings of the Honourable House, through the winter, and spring, and part of the summer.— At its rising on Friday, the 12th, it adjourned until the 19th, and the session Will terminate on the 23d; and, as we have some reason to believe, with the Session, tbe Parlia- ment.— John Butt. At the Old Bailey, on Wednesday, Edward Martelli, aged 25, and Henry Conway, 23, were convicted of forging and uttering a check for £ 100, with intent to defraud Drummond and Co. the bankers, of Charing- Cross.— Oil Friday morning, James Butter, aged 20, was found guilty of wilfully setting fire to the premises of Downing and Co. floor cloth manufacturers, of Chelsea, by which property to the amount of £ 15,000 waS destroyed. The prisoner was formerly iu the employ of the prose- cutors.— Edward Muitetti was again found guilty of forging a check for £ 200 on Messrs. Coutts, with intent to defraud Mr. Hamlet, the jeweller. SUSPENSION OF BLAST FURNACES ON THE SAB- BATH DAY — Many persons have contended that in keeping the Sabbath day holy, according to the Divine command so to do, man has no alternative of expediency ; but that at whatever expense, incon- venience, or risk, tbe mandate ought to he literally obeyed. Others, contend for a mitigation of its literal meaning, on the ground that it would be absurd and therefore unscriptural to suspend, for instance, all travelling, post conveyances, operations by fire of sundry descriptions, especially blast fur- naces, on the Sabbath day. That most of these works might Ire suspended without injury, for four and twenty hours, there can be little doubt; and that even the last mentioned- the most formidable of all, may likewise be brought nearly, if not altogether, within the Irtrral scope of the commandment. By an article in the Methodist Magazine for June, it appears that the experiment has been tried very satisfactorily at the Madeley- wood Furnaces, under the manage- ment of Mr. Richard Williams, for more than four- teen years. The Dale Company have followed the example; and since last Christmas, Messrs. Guest, of Merthyp, Ike. have stopped fourteen furnaces for twelve hours on the Lord's day. Mr. R. Williams says that the plan is rather beneficial than detrimental to the work, though the furnaces he is concerned with present a somewhat greater difficulty as to the fusion of fhe minerals, than in most other iron works. The gentlemen for whom he is employed have been honoured with the correspondence of Bishop Ryder, the excellent and pious Prelate of tbe diocese, who is exceedingly anxious to promote the plan. It is proper that Mr. R. Williams's name should be re- corded as having ventured, at his own risk, first to put the plan in force ; and it is due to his employers to say, that, as they well knew his integrity, they fully confidcd in his skill and competency. By a respectful application from the clergy and other ministers, iu some instances, and in others from religious agents and workmen, many proprietors in Staffordshire, in Wales, and the North of England, would he induced, it is hoped, to follow the laudable examples which have been already given.— Sheffield Iris. roi'recraFT.

It was arranged for Parliament to be prorogued to- morrow, but we understand that event is niiw post- poned till Wednesday. It is stated that not only is il found impossible to get through the business before that day, but that it is indispensible to pass another bill to rectify some blunder that is discovered in one of the acts that have recently received the royal assent. It is supposed that the houses will hold conference for the purpose of facilitating fhe passing of the bill.— Standard. Dr. Bagot, as we announced on Wednesday last, is to be the new Bishop of Oxford.— Courier. We have this morning some further accounts from the East. The St. Petersburgh Gazette of the K) th inst. contains a short account of the battle of Pravadi, in which the Russians claim the victory. The Gazette adds, that Ihey remained masters of the field However, according to the fourth bulletin, they retreated to Koslanrlji, to concentrate their force and receive reinforcements. The battle of Pravadi was fought with such obstinacy that only 45 Turks were taken prisoners. The Russians had 13 officers killed and 33 wounded. There is nothing important from Silistria. Thje sally made by the Governor, in which the Russian General Prosorowski was killed, is stated to have been trifling. On the 19th ult. a communica- tion was opened between tbe army before Silistria and General Roth. There has been an affair in Asia, in which the Russians were victorious. Tbe naval demonstration which the Turkish fleet made in tbe Black Sea last month, was to produce such a suspension of Ihe Blockade as to enable the ships laden with grain to proceed to Constantinople.— It was com- pletely successful. thousand. WJien the cheering with which he was enthusiastically hailed had subsided, he spoke nearly as follows:— " Wiih the gratitude of an Irishman and the sin- cerity of a friend, I thank you. I anil rejoiced to see you assembled to tell the world that you are not indebted to Wellington or Peel for your freedom. No, it was hostility rather than kindness they showed Tfiey did you injustice in the gross act of in- justice done to me, and they did it because beat them once—( Cries of Aye, and we will agailb,)— rand, trampled on that tyranny which for centuries had destroyed the rights and liberties of the people. We forced them to grant emancipation— we conquered Wellington ; 1 wonder how he would like another beating ? Send me back to parliament, and 1 pro- mise you that the next struggle we shall make for the extension of liberty will more triumphantly prove the success of the people and the defeat of Peel.— Their reluctance in granting emancipation is quite evident, by the petty hostility by which they have excluded me. Send me to parliament and the iron rod of injustice shall no longer be suspended over you, your rights, liberties, or religion. I am sure of being sent there. ( You shall, you shall.) I could find as many in Kilrusli alone as would ensure the election. ( Laughter.) Yes, we can laugh at the Brunswickers. They who win may laugh. Wc won the day, and so w- e ought, were our cause not so pure as it had been ; for we had to contend against men of the greatest duplicity and want of gratitude. I arraign the ministry of having duped so many country gentlemen. They have better reasons to be angry with them than I have. They employed their emissaries to have Brunswick Clubs established in the country, and bind the Orangemen to make war on us all. As soon us the war commenced, they turned their backs on the Brunswickers, and deserted their own party. The Brunswickers will look upon Peel and Wellington, in future, as the very devils of state policy.— It was not. right for Peel to betray the Brunswickers of Ireland. The Catholic Association hound the people up together, and they became too powerful for their opponents. For the last twenty years the Brunswickers had no other stock in trade than their hostility to the Catholics. Peel, having given oyer the stuff trade, turned politician. " The Duke of Wellington was a similar trafficker but on a larger scale. From the knowledge he had of the Irish character, he knew he could lead them on through the greatest, danger to victory. He knew that the brightness of the Irish blade was not to be sullied by co. vardice or treachery. He knew he had only to call his countrymen to his side and rush to conquest. What was his conduct after experiencing such services from Catholic Ireland > Did not his ingratitude blast and blacken the laurel that he won through the loss of Irish blood and Irish life ? The first vote he gave was against the Catholic claims. He boasts of having given us emancipation. Is he sincere ? Read his correspondence witb Lord Angle- sea. Does it not breathe Orangeism the same as existed in 99, when the supporters of that detestable system began to exercise their savage authority. " In that correspondence you will Had'the same spirit,. - Her was quite mortified because the late Lord Lieutenant spoke fo me. I had no ambition for such an inter- view. It was not for myself 1 wished to speak to him. When I found him to be a man of a noble mind — a brave, chivalrous, sympathising nobleman— who wished to ascertain the real state of the country ; and he Was not actuated by any selfish motives, but candidly gave bis opinion. He was the first Lord Lieutenant I ever spoke to. The Duke of Welling- ton dreaded the agitators, and, on that account, did not wish that 1 should have an interview with a Viceroy. Was it not more consistent for him to do so than to consult a sort of Toby Glascock, Sir Har- court Lees ? I had the good of my country at heart, and might have given some wholesome advice rela- tive to Irish affairs. There was no fault found with his administration, so long as he consulted apes and dunces. Talking of apes, I remember a showman, at Cork, who exhibited an ape on the back of an ele- phant. Now, if the Brunwickers exhibited Bumbo Green, with Toby Glascock on his back, would he not present a more ludicrous appearance than the poor elephant. ( Greut laughter.) " I understand that a person, named Fitzgerald — do a" y of you know a wall- eyed person of thai name ? ( Cries of « Is it Billy ?") I believe so.— He swore he contributed to the Brunswick Fund, I bat"! may be opposed and the franchise diminished. They have two attorneys and affidavit men to swear away the franchise. They are great hands at affidavits. All persons are so who are guilty of roguery. The Biblicals like to pocket tbe money collected for the poor, and the Brunswickers are satisfied when collect- ing money to oppose me. It is useless, I Will go in spite of them into parliament. I shall shortly have more influence in parliament than any of the eman- cipated peers. We have trampled on Protestant Ascendancy. I assert, in the face of high Heaven, that, where a Kosciusko fell— where a Washington succeeded, and where the patriots of Greece are struggling— the love of country never burned in a breast more attached than mine to the welfare of the people. They have at last obtained religious free- dom, but they must not be content with this. They must also have civil liberty. We have better pro- spects before us. The gaols shall be soon empty, and the chapels more full. History is only begin- ning to record the march of freedom. I am oiily the morning star that has arisen in the glorious horizon. 1 am the trumpet of Liberty, sending the notes over your hills and vales, until they be beard across tb^ Atlantic." After a glowing eulogy upon the Coiint}' Clare, and the men and women of this distinguished county, Mr. O'Connell concluded amid the' inoM enthusiastic cheering with the following liricS :— Tho' nations bave fallen, thou still art young— '' Thy sun is but rising, when others are set— Tho' slavery's yloom o'er thy morning hath bung, The full no'fn of freedom shall beam round tliee yet, Erin 1 oh, Erin ! tho' long in the. shade, Thy sun shall shine forth when the brightest must fade, - The Rev. Chairman next proposed the Duke of Sussex and tbe rest of the Royal family. The Rev. Chairman, after calling to his patriotic friends around him. to fill high, said he was abotit to propose a toast, the very enunciation of which was sufficient to have it pledged with acclamation. It was the health of the great agitator ( cheers)—" Daniel O'Connell" Mr. O'Connell rose and said, Liberty was abroad J it was wafted upon the wild winds of heaven, and it would produce a plentiful harvest of freedom. Eman- cipation was not all that wus wanted ; the base press had attributed ulterior views to him. He only re- garded emancipation as a great blessing in itself, and valued it as much as it helped to make Ireland what she ought to be— ,.-. .' " Great, glorious and free, First flower of tbe earth, and first gem of the sea." Ireland was never intended hy nature, or by nature's God, to be a province, a pitiful province of England. He would wish to see her constitutionally independ- ent, and, with the blessing of God,- he would live to see that day. He was bound by his oath of allegi- ance, but this was not inconsistent with his convic- tiim that the Parliament of England cannot legis- late for Ireland. Salopian journal.

His Majesty attended every day, and appeared to take great interest in the sport. The running, however, with one or two exceptions, was of a very inferior description. On Tuesday, the Oaklauils Stakes for all ages, was won easy by Mr. Chift'ney's Zingance, beating Conrad, Rapid Rhone, and Russelas.— The Sweepstakes of 100 soys, each was one by Mr. Payne's Pauline, treating Lord Jersey's Will o' the Wisp, anil two others.— A match for 500 gs. was won by His Ma- jesty's mare Maria, beating Mr. Stonehewer's Souvenir.— The King's Plate was won by Rapid Rhone. On Wednesday, the only race worth mentioning was a match, for 200 sovs. each, between Lord Exeter's Uedgauntlet and Lord Jersey's Glenartney, which was Won by tbe former by a head, after an exceedingly hard struggle. This race was the best contested of any that bas been run for some time past. On Thursday the course was crowded to excess, but the interest of the day centered in the race for the Gold Cup, upon which immense sums were at issue. For this rice there were 18 horses entered, the prices given or offered for which, dpon a calculation made some time since, amount to not less than 40,500 guineas!

Conciliation is proceeding at a rapid rate in Ire- land. Mr. O'Connell, during his mission to Clare, has talked rather more higii treason than could be collected from all the speeches at all the associations and aggregate meetings of tbe last six years ; and his hearers seem to have been wrought to the fitting temper to receive the learned gentleman's eloquence. Not content w ith garnishing their own persons with every symbol of sedition, the disaft'cctcd ruffians in Clare dressed out their poor children in tbe uniform of the Scullahogue murderers of 1798, and put arms into their hands. We cannot say anything that will half so accurately acquaint our readers with the state of Ireland at this time, in which we were " to wonder why we ever opposed emancipation," as the following abridgement of the report of Mr. O'Conncll's progress, given by one of his own journals, the Dublin Even- ing Post:— « CLARE. " KILRUSH, JUNE 13 — This day, Mr. O'Connell left Kilgorey House, at tin early hour, to procced to this town, fie was accompanied by H. Bridgeman, S. Cahill, and B. D'Loughlin, Esqrs. Several companies of school boys met him at a short distance from the town, dressed in the emblematic colour of the'country; They carried flags, on which were inscribed " We go to meet, the man of the people; we go to meet the Liberator of his country." T. ity were each furnished with a sash and sword. About two miles from the town he was met hy the trades, bearing appropriate flags and preceded by music ; the whole procession then went on towards Kilrush. About seven o'clock, p. in. tbe whole assemblage reached the town, in so dense a mass as to fill the main street. A triumphal arch w. is erected al the entrance of the town, on which was inscribed " Pro libertate et patria." Upon arriving at the Very Rev. Dr. Kenny's house, Mr. Lord Chesterfield to have the cup, and Chift'ney the j O'Connell stood up on th'e seat of the carriage and stakes. I addressed a crowd of persons, exceeding forty or fifty DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL. On Sunday evening, the inhabitants of Kilrush entertained Mr. O'Contiell at dinner; there were about 190 present.— The chair was taken by the spirited Doctor Kenny, P. P. of Kilrush, at one side of whom sat the illustrious Liberator, ornamented with the green ribbon of the Order of Liberators— his son Maurice O'Connell, Esq. N P. O'Gorman, Esq. Hewitt Bridgeman, Esq. Staunton Cahill, Esq. Rev. Mr. Lynch, & c. on the other.— Dr. Daly, Vice- President. As soon as the cloth was removed, the very Rev. Chairman, after some apposite introduction of the toast, gave—" The King, George IV."— Air, God sare the King The Rev. Chairman next said, he was about to propose that body, who were sometimes denominated the rabble— the mere mob— for whose comfort . Mr. VV. Horton would propose emigration. Thcv had sworn allegiance to their country, and Ibis necessarily implied protection from the state to them; hut, instead of this there was a Vestry Act to grind them to the dust. ( Hear, hear. J There was an oppres- sive Algerine Act— there was a depopulating Sub- letting Act— nay, more, they resolved to send emissa- ries among those very people m order to incite tljem to disturbance only to avail themselves of the disorder which they themselves occasioned, or, as the distin- guished poet remarked, hiding pikes only to hang those who had the misfortune of finding them. But the reign of terror was over. ( Loud cheers.) The schoolmaster was abroad. The people were out- growing their fetters. ( Continued cheers. J He saw around him every description of gentlemen, professional and otherwise— lawyers, attorneys, phy- sicians, divines, & c. & c. & c. and lie would, in conclu- sion, ask w hat would all those do, if separated from the legitimate source of all power,—" The People." The next toast was the Duke of Clarence —" The Heir Presumptive to the Throne, and the Navy of England."— Air, Rule Britannia. SHREWSBURY SHOW, on Monday last, in conse- quence, probably, of the uncertain and showery- aspect of the morning, did not exhibit so much of its pageantry as was expected : however, the master and apprentice shoemakers— the master and apprentice tailors— the master and apprentice butchers — the master and apprentice builders— the masters of the com- brethren of saddlers, painters, & c.— with the apprentice hatters, & c. went in procession fo Kings- land, where the Mayor and a body of gentlemen of the Corporation, with other friends, visited the masters of the several trades at their respective arbours: the weather clearing up in the afternoon, induced a large assemblage of persons to go to Kings- land ; and tile usual accommodation of refreshment and show booths, with a variety of the accustomed amusements, were on the ground, and gave their wonted aid to the day's recreation. ROBBERY .— Mi- s. Lewis, a widow lady residing on Claremont Hill, in this town, havi g gone with her family for a few weeks to Abervstwith, left her house in the care of a neighbour, Mr. Simon, of the Turf Inn, which is exactly opposite to the house of Mrs. Lewis. On Thursday night every thing was left safe on Mrs. Lewis's premises ; but on some of Mr. Simon's family going to open the window shutters, 6ic of Mrs. Lewis's house on Friday morning, they perceived that some one must have been in the house, the chain having been put on the door, aud there being other indications which proved that some person had been there during the night. Search was made, but no individual was found on the premises, nor did any marks of violence appear on any of the furniture, & c. About seven O'clock in the evening one of the servants at the Turf Inn, happening to look through an upper window towards Mrs Lewis's house, per- ceived through one of the windows of the latter man walking down the stairs without any shoes on his feet; and she gave an alarm : on Mr. Simon, accompanied by some other persons, entering Mrs Lewis's house, the thief went through a garret win- dow upon the roof, where he was taken : he proved to be a young man, a well- known character, named Richard Ellis, a joiner ; and it appeared that he had been in the house all the day, as after the search had been made in the morning, and during which he had contrived to conceal himself from observation, he hud broken open and rifled every lock- fast article on the premises, and made up a bundle preparatory to carrying it off at night. He has been committed to prison, and will undergo further examination, pre- vious to being committed for trial. Committed to our County Gaol, John Edge, charged with stealing eight half- strikes of oats iu the chaff, the property of Mr. Samuel Lee, of Forton ; George Collins and John Collins, charged with stealing eight fowls and seven ducks, the property of John Bullas, of Hales Owen ; Matthew Pyke, charged with stealing one pair of stockings, fifteen pounds of beef, and a piece of bread, the property of John Transaw, waterman ; and David Richards, charged with stealing 34lbs. weight of lead, the property of Mv.

A Residence of Sixteen Months in the Turkish and inactivity, as the present. Of this the state of Capital and Provinces : with an Account of the pre of t ante. rbury,' who follows the Gaisfurd, and declines the mitre. example of Mr. parties has been the real cause, though no man of any; party has had the courage to avow it. To say that it has been art unimportant session would not he true. The one and only measure of which it hits been the parent, is of itself alone of importance enough to give it a distinction. Of that measure we do not wish now to speak beyond the effect it has had upon the state of parties. Of its main political effects we are willing that they should be fairly left to work their own way. But its result upon party has been to derange the whole chain and system of political confidfe. ice and connexion; and if the Go- vernment have proposed nothing of consequence during the whole session but this tine measure, it is because they have not dared to ( to so. The very few instances w hich have occurred to ptit this td the test, have carrii d with them ominous warnings. We would instance the votes relative to Buckingham Palace, and Mr. O'Conuell's seat. On both these occasions there were plenty of Members iti the House to hear the debates, but few, comparatively., who joined in the divisions. The Treasury mandate, it is < t'U", was obeyed; but the Treasury entreaty was disregarded. In this precarious state of things, post- ponement has been the order of the day. " The advanced period of the Session" has been the stalking- horse ; but doubt, fear, and uncertainty, have been the reigning motives. The House of Commons now presents no les » than five parties— that of the Govern- ment; the Whigs, the Tories, the friends of Mr. Canning, and a body of neutrals. With the four latter in abeyance, the first has been afraid, and, in fact, too weak} to cope. It has been necessary, there- fore, td stave off every tiling which could by possi- bility unite these parties into one opposition, and bring the weakness of fhe Administration to the test. The object of the Duke, of course, is to strengthen his forces by an union with as much of this desultory, outlaying fore.", as he can win over. But here are difficulties gre. t and formidable, it is said, at every point. The Whigs say they cannot act with Lord Lyndhurst, and the Tories that thej cannot again coalesce with Mr. Peel. Mr. Huskisson, Lord Pal- merston, and the little band of Canningites, ( more formidable for their official talent than their numbers,) are indignant, at the treatment which they and their deceased Leader have sustained; and, though not unwilling to return to the sweets of office, expect concessions which the Duke cannot, with any regard to his own consistency, grant— while the tribe of neutrals, comprising many of the most influential of the County Members, and other Country Gentlemen, bold themselves aloof, ready only to fall into the ranks when the regiment is officered, and its move- ments regulated to their liking. The usual baits with which past governments Could lure so many of them to their will, unfortunately for the Duke, are now wanting. Such, we beliei- e, or something very like it, is the present state of parties— such are the reasons why the Parliament has sat upwards of four months without doing any thing. Before the time comes for its meeting again, something will probably have turned up in Ihe chapter of accidents to alter the state of things; but a reliance on chance is bad enough in private life— in public affairs it is neither wise, dignified, nor judicidus.— Morning Herald. The Staff of ( he Militia will, on this day, be reduced to the number allowed by tbe late Act of Parliament.

The Protector fire- office has recently adopted a. very singular, though extremely simple, fire- escape, the invention of Mr. Wicks, the Brewer, of Stockwell. The apparatus consists of a large sheet of sail canvas, of a rectangular figure, strengthened underneath by hands of girth, and sur- rounded on alt sides by strong rope- loops, forming secure handles, hy which the sheet might be held and extended for persons to jump into. The machine has been recently tried by way of experiment, and the result has been every thing that could be desired. Fourteen of the men belonging to the office held the escape beneath a hop- warehouse in Union- street, Borough, from the upper story of which, from fifty to sixty feet iii height from the pavement, a young man, named Stocks, one of the Protector's men, jumped without the slightest injury. This he re- peated several times with the same success. Another of the firemen, named Jcrrald, also made the Ionp, and as successfully as his companion. This machine, by which a multitude of lives will in future be saved, is so portable that a boy may carry it, and so simple in its iise that when brought to the scene of distress it merely requires to be stretched out, and held tight by the by- standers, while the persons in danger may leap even from the loftiest story without the least risk of their lives. The officers of many parishes have ordered them'to be a fixed appendage to each watcliHouse, ahd the Protector's engines are also provided with them. The young men who leaped from the hop- warehouse describe the effect as highly exhilarating, and one of tliem said he would venture from the top of the Royal Exchange without the least apprehension of danger. Some admirable improvements have been effected in the Chapel of Winchester College, by the restora- tion of about three thousand feet of beautiful stained A Coroner's Inquest concerning a Treasure Trove in Buckinghamshire, June 15, 1829. An inquisition, both of a novel and interesting nature, has been taken before Mr. Charsley, Coroner, at Woodburn, in Bucks, concerning a certain treasure, which has lately been found in the thatch of an obscure cottage, situate at the rural and sequestered spot called Northern Woods. In the month of May last, a Mr. Harris, the lessee of such cottage, employ- ed some tliatchersto unroof the cottage, which was in a decayed state, and to newly thatch it; and when the men so engaged had nearly completed the work, they suddenly left it, evincing to the neighbourhood that they had some extraordinary change of fortune. One of the men in particular newly equipped himself, became the purchaser of pigs, and exhibited quantities of old guineas in many different public- houses, gave a public feast, and became, in fact, quite the inde- pendent man, and not requiring or performing any more labour. He appeared to have been proud to acknowledge his new state, and admitted that, although a young man, he had found sufficient money to maintain him for the remainder of his life, without labour ; it was clear, therefore, that such an individual had had a lucky find. Although there was no evidence before the Coroner of the ownership or identity of the property, yet conjectures were formed w ho was the depositor of the hidden treasure, as the guineas bore the stamp respectively of King James II Queen Anne, and George II.; and it was known to old persons living at this retired spot, that about 60 years ago, au old man of penurious habits had resided lit the cottage, who had been accustomed to hide his money in apple trees; and it is also thought, that if the finder of the money were to produce some writings, which lie appears to have suppressed, the owner of fhe coin would he identified. Amongst the old thatch which had been taken from the roof and conveyed to Mr. Harris's, there were found several old guineas, and a long empty canvas purse, with a hole at the corner of it: it is supposed that it must have contained 1000 guineas. However, after a long investigation, during which the coroner had to examine parties who most reluctantly told the truth, and several of whom were guilty of most gross prevarication, hot to say perjury, and most unwilling to appear befdre him, a verdict was returned by the patient and respectable Jury, " that William Higgins, the son of the thatcher who had been so employed, TOELETOILIE) IPIB'IDIPlfiiBWo At ihe New Inn, Gleddrid, near Chirk, on Wednesday, the 15th Day of July, 18* 29, between the Hour* of Four and SiX o'Clock iu the Afternoon, subject to Conditions then to be produced : Vl.

A subscription is set on foot for the purpose of building a National School- house for the city of Hereford, to which the venerable and excellent Bishop and the Dignitaries of the Church have sub- scribed very liberally. CRUELTY TO ANIMAI. S.- It being the wish, as it no doubt is the interest, of coach- proprietors to put an end to that system of cruelty to horses which has so long existed, the heads of the principal establish- ments in the kingdom have formed themselves into a Committee to meet any case that may he laid before them, so that if any passengers witness cruelty on the part of Hny coachman, and substantiate the case before the Committee, such coachman will he punished as severely ' as the law will allow. At the same time it is but just, to add, that very few instances have lately occurred. y There is nnw living at Eaves- green, near Chorley Lancashire, a person of the name of John Bolton, ( a native of ] B| ackburn, or its neighbourhood,) who has arrived a. t the patriarchal age of 102 years. His constitution is still hale and vigorous, and he retains his memory, and other mental faculties, in perfection. He well remembers, and knew, the father of the present Sir Robert Peel, and, consequently, grand- father to the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department. The Secretary's ancestor lived in Blackburn, following a most humble occupation. Mr. Bolton's father fought against the Pretender in 1745, and there was but one Jacobite in Blackburn at the time,, and lie joined the rebel army. In the infancy of the cotton- manufacturing, the manufac- turers spun' and wove their own goods, and carried tlieirt pn their backs on foot into Yorkshire aud othe- p'aci » , and tlie're was no conveyance between Blaiki" burn and Manchester but one cart. FRENCH IRON.— It appears by an official inquiry lately made into the state of forges and furnaces in France, that the prohibitory system adopted in France in the year 1814, for the protection of the French manufacture from foreign competition, although it has increased the production of iron in fhat country, has not benefited the manufacturer; since the price of wood, which enters so largely into the forging and casting of iron, has undergone a corresponding increase. It also appears that the manufacture of iron by means of coals instead of wood is gaining ground in France, and threatens destruction to the latter process. It may not, perhaps, he uninteresting to our readers to give the legal definition of Treasure Trove: Thesaurus inventus, which is money or coin, gold, silver, plate, or bullion, found hidden in the earth or other private place, the owner thereof being unknown, in such case the treasure belongs to the King, and is part of his ordinary revenue ; but if he that hid it be known, or afterwards found out, the owner is entitled to it; also, if it be found in the sea, or upon the earth, it doth not belong to the King, but to the finder, if no owner appears ; so that it seems it is the hiding, and not the abandoning it, that gives the King a property. The finding of deposited treasure was much more frequent, and the treasures them- sel ves more considerable, in the infancy df dur cdn- stitution, than at present, and therefore the punish- ment of such as concealed from the King the finding of such hidden treasure was formerly no less than death, but nnw it is nnly a misdemeanour.

A schooner belonging to this port, in twenty- six days from Oporto, arrived in Gloucester Basin on Tuesday last. By one of the owners, who came passenger in her, we have received most deplorable accounts nf the state of affiirs in Portugal, under the detestable sway of the tyrant Miguel. Upon the slightest suspicion individuals are torn from the bosom of their families and consigned to the horrors of a dungeon, or to the still more summary fate of the scaffold. On the 7th ult. as has been stated in the public papers, ten individuals, suspected of being friendly to the Constitutional Government, were executed at Oporto in the horrible and disgusting way peculiar to that country. These unfortunate persons comprised some of the most eminent mercan- tile men of the city, and having suffered ten months' imprisonment, their fate seem4 to have been hastened by an application for mercy, the answer to which was only a few hours' notice of execution A gentleman connected with one of the sufferers, and who lay under the curse of Miguel's suspicion, had great difficulty in effecting his escape on board the schooner, but after sustaining great hardships, through the kindness of the Owners and Captain, he was happily enabled to accomplish his object, but not till he had witnessed the spoliation and confiscation of a very handsome fortune.— Gloucester Journal. sent State of the Naval and Military Power, and of the Resources of the Ottoman Empire." The author of this work, Mr. Charles Macfarlane, left Constantinople, where he had resided for several months, only last winter. Being at Smyrna when the news arrived of the battle of Navarino, ahd at Con- stantinople when the crossing of the Prtith by the Russians was announced, he had an opportunity of witnessing the conduct of the Turks, and of the Turkish authorities, at two periods of a most import- ant crisis. The details which the writer gives of the new military system, and of the other reforms at- tempted hy the Sultan, cannot fail to be read with peculiar interest at, the present moment. " Of Sultan Mahmood's personal appeaiance I will speak hete; Hot from the rapid glances I had been able to catch df him, dn his way from the boat to the nidsque; aritl from the mosque td the camp, the first time I saw bim, but from the impression left on my mind by the somewhat frequent views I had of him afterwards in different situations and attire. " I had read in some traveller, that fiis Complexion was deadly pale, and that the expression of his coun- tenance partook of the doomed melancholy that used generally to mark that of his cousin and predecessnr, the unfortunate Seliin. The Complexion I saw was as far from pallid as it wtll coifld be — it was excessively sun- burnt, a manly brown; but I was informed, ( if the correctness of the traveller's statement, and that he had got rid of the sickly hue of the seraglio only lately, or since his passion for the military life and the field hail developed itself. Manly exercise, and a constant exposure to sun and wind, could not plant roses on a cheek of forty, but they had given what suited a soldier and reforming sultan better. Instead of melancholy, and the air of a dtloiHCd man, Ire- marked an expressidii of fifnirfess and self- confidence, and of halightiness not unmixed with a degree of ferocity. His lofty and orientally arched eye- brows, his large coal- black eyes ( which are habitually, how- ever, rather heavy than otherwise), his thick black beard and mustachoes, which completely veil the expression of the lower features, the lordly carriage of his head, are all calculated td strike, and Coincide perfectly with our picturesque idea of an eastern despot. There was jierhaps more than one Turk in his suite who had the same traits in greater perfection, aud whom a stranger' might have fancied to be the Sultan ; but there is a decided character in Mahmood's person that no incognito disguise can conceal from those who have once seen him. This I have been told by Turks, Greeks, and Armenians, who have often recognized him with fear and trembling when he has been wandering tvith only one attendant ( meanly travestied like himself,) throtigh the obscure quarters of Constantihuple— ail amusement, or an dccupation, that up to the last winter he was accus- tomed frequently to give himself. " His statiire is not tall, bfit a fitte breadth of shoul- ders, an open chest, ahd well set arms, denote robust- ness and great bodily strength. Indeed, up to his late exclusive devotion to the arts of war, to drilling and manoeuvring, his great pride used to be, to pull the ' longest bow' of any man in his dominions ( I do not mean metaphorically), and the numerous little stone columns stuck up in the hollow of the Ocmeidan at extraordinary distances, to mark the flight of the imperial arrow, still attest the strength of his arm. The lower part of his frame is not so good ; like nearly all the great Turks 1 have seen, there is a defect and ungracefulness in his legs, derived from the Turkish mode of continually sitting with those members crossed under the body,—- a mode that must check the circulation of fhe blood, and tend to dis- tortion. Besides, the youthful life of Mahmood was passed in the inactive imprisonment of the seraglio, in the most sedentary manner, among tinie- worn women and slaves, shut up from all manly exercise. The Turkish gentlemen, as well as ladies, arc proud of a fine smooth hand, but hitherto they are obstinate enemies to those adventitious coverings and preservers considered by us indispensable to both sexes. I could point out to them the chapter in the Koran where they are strictly prohibited adorning their person* ( which they do most profusely) with gold and jewels, silks and costly robes; but 1 know not w- here they can find a prohibition of gloves, which Mahomet could have had no more idea of, than of that choice and cherished produce of a world yet undiscovered— rum. But gloves no Turk has yet worn, and the Sultan's hands were bare, like those of all the rest— a trifle, but a trifle a European could scarcely help remarking, when he saw him in his almost European military dress. Another insignificant variation from our personal equipment, was his boots: they were not of leather, hut of black velvet, every time I saw him in his military costume ; the form, however, was European, and they were worn under tne tr. iw. sers, like our Wellingtons. " Mahmood appears to tbe best advantage on horseback. Except oiv going to the mosque on Fridays, or in any other grand ceremonies prescribed by religion, when er ry thing is strictly oriental, he rides on a Frank military saddle, and in our ' style. In this recent study he has certainly made great pro- gress : his seat, is good ; he sits firm and erect, and might really pass muster among a regiment of our fine horse- guards, and that with credit. The differ ence to this from the Turkish style of equestrianism is so immense, as to offer no trifling difficulty to one accustdmed to the latter, with huge saddles like cradles, and short and almost immoveable stirrups that tuck up the knees in close contact with the groin. Indeed, so considerable is this difficulty, that but few of the regular imperial guard could yet keep a steady seat with their long stirrups, which they were often beard to curse as an invention of the devil to break men's necks. Mahmood was indisputably the best horseman a la Europeenne in his army ; and this acquirement, together with another proficiency he was fast arriving at, viz. that of commanding and manoeuvring a squadron of horse, formed fhen his pride and his glory. His instructor in both was Signor Calosso, an Italian officer, now a great favour- ite, of whom I shall speak more particularly in a succeeding chapter. Mahmood's constitution hs » always been good ; it triumphed over the enervating, destructive influences to which it was subjected during his captivity in the seraglio; and the sudden transition from oriental luxury and ease, from the habitual life of a sultan to the life of a sort df Frederick the Great, has rather improved his general health than otherwise. The way, however, in which he exposed himself to the glaring hot sun in the course of the summer of 1827, when he was continu- ally out with his tacticoes at Daut Pasha, Ramid- Chiflik, or other places in the neighbourhood, did injury to his eyes, and induced a dimness of sight, which he still occasionally suffered. Dr. M'C- an Irishman, who is physician to his selictar or sword- bearer, and to most of his grandees, has told me, that he entertained a decided antipathy to medicine. In- stead of giving him medicine, I should have proposed changing his coeffure; fur when en militaire, be wears the scarlet cloth skull- cap I have described, with nothing to shade his eyes or defend his head from the percussion of the sun's rays, regardless of fhe sensible eastern practice of thickening the turban folds as the heat increases." COURT OF EXCHEQUER. REX V. MARCH. The question in this case was of great interest to auctioneers. It was, whether the employment of a puffer at a sale by auction did not vitiate the contract. The property sdld beldnged to the crown, who reserved one bidding for its agent. At the time of sale, however, Mr. Driver was obliged to get the person who attended for the crown to put up the lot, which he did at two hundred pounds, he likewise made several other biddings, when at last it was knocked down to the defendant for £ 360, who subsequently refused to fulfil his contract.— After considerable argument, the court unanimously held that this species of puffing came clearly within the provisions of the act, and that therefore the sale was vitiated. The rule was consequently discharged with costs. On Thursday evening the extensive sugar house of Jacobs and Henrich, in Back Church- lane, White- chapel, was totally destroyed by fire ; the damage is estimated at between £ 7000 and' £ 8000. Nearly the whole of the furniture in the house df Mr. H ipktn- son, df Clarges- street, Piccadilly, was destroyed befdre the engines could succeed in arresting the progress of the flames. The family was at Ascot races, and it has not been ascertained how the fire di'Linated. SALOPIAN JOURNAL, AMP COURIER OF WALES. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal.

" The pleasant'*! angling is to see the fish 14 Cut with her gulden oars the silver stream, 44 And greedily devour the treacherous bait." SHAKSPEARE. TUESDAY, MAY 12. At five in the evening we left Shrewsbury, with our fishing baskets, rods, a landing net, materials for artificial fly- making, a gun, and carpet bags, in a gig, followed by a favourite spaniel. The gun we took for the purpose of shooting any species of bird not Commonly found except in mountainous districts, which we might meet, to add to a preserved collec- tion of the feathered tribe which S. possesses; and the dog' I took to relieve the solitude sometimes attendant on angling: for, although anglers set out in a party, they separate on approaching a river, and fish in distant parts of the stream, to prevent inter- ruption to each other's sport. A fisherman would, therefore, naturally exclaim, on such occasions :- 44 His faithful dog shall hear him company." The weather had for some weeks previously been very wet and stormy, but now it appeared to have settled to fair, and the evening proved serene and line. The celebrated Shelton Oak, on our right, ( from which tradition relates Owen Glyndwr observed the defeat of his ally, Hotspur, at Battlefield, and at which conflict Shakspeare makes Falstaff declare he had fought an hour 44 by Shrewsbury clock, 1') had not as yet put forth a leaf, the spring being tardy. It is a magnificent vegetable ruin; but still boasts a living- branch or two, like a plume on the helmet of a decayed warrior. Passed Rowton Castle, bosomed in young planta- tions, the seat of H. Lyster, Esq. from the eminence on the Welsh side of which there is an extensive prospect of the fertile country we were leaving. We command a view of the Wrekin, ( the boast of Shropshire,) Pimhill, Nesscliff, and the plain of Mel- verley, through which the Severn, lately joined by the Vyrnwy, winds her course. Melverley is subject to vast inundations from these conjoined rivers. In the winter the plain is frequently an entire sheet of water, and the farmers and cottagers are then greatly incommoded; and they also suffer considerable losses at other times from the same cause. If at one of those wet seasons you enquire of a Melverley man the place of his abode, his desponding reply is 44 Melvei? ley, God help us 1" On the contrary, in a genial summer, the meadows present a most verdant aspect, and produce abundant crops; and if you then ask a person from that country, where he resides ? he chuckles, and proudly answers : " Melverley-! where d'ye think ?" We also catch a glimpse of the ruins of Shrawardiue Castle, the property of the Earl of Powis. An acquaintance, a casual devotee of the Muses, once wrote some verses on these ruins, which, as far as I remember, I here insert:— 44 LINES, « Written under tlie Ruins of Shraiuardine Castle. ring walls 44 Yet let the hand of desolating Time, < 4 These sinking tow'rs, and mould revere ; ( 1 For uot with useless pride they rose sublime : 44 Fair Science stor'd her choicest treasures here 44 When Rapine hurl'd aloft her threat'uing spear, 44 When Murder reign'd, by got hie ignorauce crow n'd : 44 On every plain the barbarous hands appear, 44 And Wur in crimson'd vesture walk'd around. < l Though, now iu ruin'd majesty they lie, 44 The fading relics of departed da> s, 44 Yet shall they strike calm Contemplation's eye, 44 And iu her bosom mingled wonder raise." * * * * * L. After resting a short interval at the Windmill, we advanced with the Breidden Hills ( having Rodney's Pillar on the highest) exactly in our front, and the sun, now declining, displayed the outline of this chain to the best advantage. Though 44 comparisons are odious," perhaps even to mountains, I must remark, without offence to the Genius of the Wrekin, that for picturesque appearance the latter must yield the palm to Breidden. Dovaston, the Shropshire Poet, gives a humorous account of 44 The Birth of Breidden." He says that 44 Old Nick," once on an embassy, not having met a heart in 44 stout Mont- gomery" and 44 honest Salop," 44 wherein to hide him," muttered— 44 since no friend I've found, 44 ' Twixt both these counties I'll the Severn pound, By dropping a huge mountain in that liver; 44 iSo will the one be drj/ jd, the other di'owu'd." But— 44 w hen he came 44 Within a stone's throw of the stream, 44 Grunting and writhing, 44 A rough edge of this rugged rock 44 Nick'd the tape apron string, which broke, 44 And down dropp'd Breidden !" We shortly entered Wales, under the nose, as it were, of one of these hills, and crossing- the Severn at . Butting- ton, soon reached Welsh Pool : a town, which, though neatly built, is not remarkable for the beauty . of its situation. Immediately at the entrance there - are some lime- kilns, the volume of smoke issuing whence, through which you have to pass, reminds you of Hecate's cauldron. Impatient of delay, we determined on proceeding - to Llanfair, a small town, seated on the Vyrnwy, and where, after a hilly drive, we arrived at a late hour. Here we rested for the night, at the Goat— a SIGN of our having reached Cambria. [ TO HE CONTINUED.] A HINT TO THE LADIES.— Good nature will ,. always supply the absence of beauty; but beauty cannot tony supply the absence of good nature.— Steele. TRAVELLING FOR ORDERS.— Mr. Southey main- tains that 44 the practice of travelling to solicit orders for goods began among the Quakers, as an incidental consequence of the life led by their itinerant preachers. Francis Bugg, of unsavoury name, tells us this: 4 We no sooner had our liberty,' he says, 4 but, all our London preachers spread themselves, like locusts, all over England and Wales; some went cast, some west, yea, north and south ; and, being " generally tradesmen, we not only got our quarters free, our horses free and well maintained in our travels, a silver watch here, a beaver there, a piece of hair- camblet, and sometimes other things; but tnore- 44 Some men are born with a silver, and others with a wooden spoon in their mouths," and 44 He who was born under a three- halfpenny planet will never be worth two- pence," arc two melancholy proverbs, expressly intended for the use of the losers in the game of life— the dejected, wearied competitors in the race we are all running, the awkward and unsuccessful dancers to whom For- tune's pipe never taught a single chassez. The language iu which they are couched is mean and plebeian ; but let it be recollected, that it is the language of adversity, the language of the poor and dispirited : such maxims do not pass the lips of the prosperous and happy, they acquire no polish from the rich and the elegant, who are very apt to forget that there are such things as wooden spoons or copper money in existence, and are sure to attribute their right to the use of fiddle- headed king's pattern- spoons and gold and silver coin to their own indefeasible privileges and indisputable merits. For it is a remarkable fact, that those who dance oftenest in Fortune's cotillon, and are most indebted to h> r pipe, frequently assert, that they supply their own music, and that their fine steps are entirely owing to the admirable way in which they themselves are performing on a jew's- harp or penny trumpet. She, partial goddess, takes no umbrage at their ingratitude, plays on to her thoughtless favourites, nor turns one glance to the crowds of wor.- hippers who are i nploring a single tune from her lips. Yet, notwithstanding the arro- gance of the prosperous, those who look on and observe the banquet can readily dist'nguish the 44 wooden spoon" adhering with spiteful pertinacity to its original owners. They cannot part with their birthright; friends endeavour in vain lo exchange it for a utensil of more valuable materials, and they themselves exert all the powers of their body, the energies of their mind, to aid the benevolent de- sign. But all in vain ; they used it for their soup, and they will use it for their dessert. These ill- starred creatures have no reason to regret the suppression of lotteries, since not eveu the nominal prize of twenty pounds ever came tO) their share; and their dislike of the legacy tax is exasperated by no selfish feelings, as they were never called upon to contribute towards it in the slightest degree. Their rich, childless male rela tions always astonish the world by becoming hus- bands and fathers in their dotage: while their old female ones either purchase Poyais bonds and are ruined, or marry a preacher; and, if a friend has promised to remember them in his w ill, lie is sure to die suddenly before he has made one They are always a little too late in asking for a favour, and a little too soon in abandoning a speculation; and they generally sell their shares in a mining com- pany, at a heavy loss, just before the discovery of a bonanza. If money be ever within their grasp, a law- suit speedily loosens their hold, and it falls into the capacious hands of some silver- spooned. sons of Themis; their landed property is always in the West Indies, aud their ready cash in a bank that fails. In their youth, heiresses have an anti- pathy to them; and, when they marry, their wives are liable to have twins. If they are botanists or entomologists, they never find a rare plant or uncommon insect; dandelions and groundsel seem to spring up beneath their feet, cock- chafers and cabbage- butterflies to pursue them; it is out of the question that their eyes can ever behold a lady's slipper or a purple emperor, and, if they should chance to possess the chrysalis of a death's head moth, a servant or a child will throw it away by mistake. As sportsmen or fishermen they are equally unfortunate; their gun always misses fire at a cock pheasant, and, notwithstanding a diligent observance of the rules of 44 Salmonia," their hook fails, or line breaks, whenever a trout of any size has taken the bait. As the 44 wooden spoon" is not confined to the male sex, its influence often dooms the fairer part of the creation to a series of troubles and vexations. Its victims are very unfortuuate in their domestic affairs: if they get a good servant, she is sure to man y away ; if they wash at home, it always rains at the time; if they have a dinner- party, the weather is hot and thundery, their custards are sour, their partridges stink, a little soot falls iuto the soup, and fish is extravagantly dear. The china of these unhappy women appears more brittle than their neighbours'; their gowns seem to pos sess a magnetic quality for brambles; if a glass of port wine ia thrown over at table, you need not ask whose dress has been spoiled; and if they take a walk, unprovided w ith an umbrella, no barometer is required to tell ycu it will rain. When invited to a particularly pleasant party, they catch cold and cannot go; when they visit the opera to hear Pasta or Sontag, she is sure to be too indisposed to sing. In early life they are subject to spraining their ankle just before a ball, aud to splitting a shoe when they are about to dangle with the man they prefer. At dinners they are generally placed between aged clergymen and persevering- gour- mands, bores take a fancy to them, incorrigible old bachelors bestow their tediousness upon them, and they are apt to fall in love with halj'jpay ensigns and country curates. Their hair goes grey early, they lose their teeth soon, their husbands are particular about their dinner, and their children have the whooping- cough twice. Behold, on the contrary, the happy man who, with a 44 silver spoon" in his mouth, dances through life to the pleasant music of Dame Fortune! His uncles are all childless, nobody will marry his aunts; he sends a basket of game to a capricious old miser, and is rewarded by a legacy of £ 10,000; he preaches a sermon before a lady of quality, and gets a rich rectory; he buys worthless land, and the next year there is a rage for building upon it; he writes to his agent to purchase mining. shares, and the letter miscarries. If he is a physician, he is called iu just as his patient's disorder takes a favourable turn; if he is a lawyer, his clients bap- pen to be in the right; if he is a naturalist, nonde- scripts reward his most careless search ; if he sports with a friend, the birds always rise on his side. History and biography occasionally furnish us w th examples of this peculiarly favoured race. Mr. Whittington was evidently one of them, whose very cat proved a source of riches; so was the gentle- man who, worn out by a painful disorder, attempted to commit suicide, opened an inward imposthume and was cured; the Persian condemned to lose his tongue, on whom the operation was so formed that it merely removed an impediment in his speech the painter who produced an effect he had long aimed at in vain by throwing his brush at his picture in a fit of impatience and despair; and the general who, once upon a time, besieged the town of Bushire, and had the gates blown open for him and the wall overthrown by the first discharge of a sixty- eight pounder, which the inhabitants fired to prevent his approach. Who can doubt that, these several individuals had been born with 44 wooden spoons" iu their infant mouths, their fate would have been very different? Whittington's Berthier, and the Chief Consul himself superintend- ing the rear guard, which, as having with it the artillery, was the object of highest importance. At St. Pierre all semblance of a road disappeared. Thenceforth an army, horse and foot, laden with all the munitions of a campaign, a park of forty field- pieces included, were to be urged up and along airy ridges of rock and eternal snow> where the goatherd, the hunter of the chamois, aud the outlaw- smuggler are alone accustomed to venture ; amidst precipices where to slip a foot is death ; beneath glaciers from which the percussion of a musket- shot is often sufficient to hurl an avalanche ; across bottomless chasms caked over with frost or snow- drift ; and breathing 4 The difficult air of the iced mountain top, Where birds dare not build, nor insect's wing Flit o'er the herbless granite.' The transport of the artillery and ammunition was the most difficult point, and to this, accordingly, the Chief Consul gave his personal superintendence. The guns were dismounted, grooved in the trunks of trees hollowed out so as to suit each calibre, and then dragged on by sheer strength of muscle— uot less than a hundred soldiers being sometimes harnessed to a single cannon. The carriages and wheels, being taken to pieces, were slung on poles, and borne on men's shoulders. The powder and shot, packed in boxes of fir wood, formed the lading of all the mules that could be collected over a wide range of the Alpine country. These preparations had been made during the week that elapsed be- tween Bonaparte's arrival at Geneva and the com- mencement of Lannes's march. He himself travelled sometimes on a mule, but mostly on foot, cheering on the soldiers who had the burden of the great guns. The fatigue undergone is not to be described. The men iu front durst not halt to breathe, because the least stoppage there might have thrown the column behind into confusion, on the brink of deadly precipices; and those in the rear had to flounder knee- deep through snow and ice trampled into sludge by the feet and hoofs of the preceding divisions. Happily, the march of Napoleon was not harassed, like that of Hannibal, by the assaults of living enemies. The mountaineers, on the contrary, flocked in to reap the liberal rewards which he offered to all who were willing to lighten the drudgery of the troops. 44 On the 16th of May Napoleon slept at the con- vent of St. Maurice; and iu the course of the four following days, the whole army passed the Great St. Bernard. It was ou the 20th that Bonaparte himself halted- an hour at the convent of the Hospitallers, which stands on the summit of this mig hty mountain. The good fathers of the monastery had furnished every soldier as he passed with a luncheon of bread and cheese and a glass of wine; and, for this seasonable kindness, they received the warm acknowledgments of the chief. It was here that he took his leave of a peasant youth, who had walked by him, as his guide, all the way from the convent of St. Maurice. Napoleon conversed freely with the young man, and was muoh interested with his simplicity. At parting, Bonaparte asked the guide some particulars about his personal situation ; and, having heard his reply, gave him money and a billet to the head of the monastery of St. Maurice. The peasant delivered it accordingly, and was surprised to find that, in consequence of a scrap of writing which he could not read, his worldly com- forts were to be permanently increased. The object of this generosity remembered, nevertheless, but little of his conversation with the Consul. He described Napoleon as being 4 a very dark man,' ( this was the effect of the Syrian sun); and having an eye that, notwithstanding his affability, he could not encounter without a sense of fear. The only saying of the hero which he treasured iu his memory was 4 I have spoiled a hat. among your mountains: well, I shall find a new one on the other side?' Thus spoke Napoleon, wringing the rain from his covering, as he approached the hospice of St. Bernard. The guide described, however, very strikingly, the effects of Bonaparte's appearance and voice, when any obstacle checked the advance of the soldiery along that fearful wilderness which is called emphatically 4 The Valley of Desolation.' A single look or word was commonly sufficient to set all in motion again. But if the way presented some new and apparently insuperable difficulty, the Consul bade the drums beat and the trumpets sound, as if for the charge; and this never failed. Of such gallant temper were the spirits which Napoleon had at command, and with such admira- ble skill did he wield them." THE NAT10NJ1L DEBT. Mr. Southey, in his book on the Progress and Prospects of Society, holds the following colloquy with the shade of Sir Thomas More on the advantages aud the disadvantages of the national debt. Sir Thomas More.— In what light do you regard the national debt? Montesinos.— Again I must confess my incom- petence for discussions of this kind : they belong to what is called political economy,— a science concern- ing which there is a great deal written and talked, and very little understood. Sir Thomas More.— But you consider it a species of property ! Montesinos.— Undoubtedly. Sir Thomas More.— Real or representative ? Montesinos.— Did I not. say that you were leading me into the region of darkness ? Sir Thomas More.— You can understand that it constitutes a great part of the national wealth ? Montesinos.— So large a part that the interest amounted, during the prosperous times of agriculture, to as much as the rental of all the land in Great Britain; and, at present, to the rental of all lands, all houses, and all other fixed property put together. Sir Thomas More.— The interest is of course real and tangible. What is the principal ? Montesinos.— Real also, because any part of it is tangible and producible at any time. Sir Thomas More.— But it is only in part that it can thus be realized. Moutesinos As large a part as can ever be required. Sir Thomas More.— We shall come to that ques- tion. The whole is plainly not producible; it is neither real nor representative, but a mere fiction of policy and convenience. Montesinos.— Why will you bewilder me ? Sir Thomas More.— Yet as the gods were derived from Erebus and Night, this fiction has given birth to wealth and power and happiness. Whence comes the interest; that, part which is real, tangible, and regularly produced? Montesinos.— It is raised by taxation, and that taxation it is which constitutes the great burthen of these kingdoms. Sir Thomas Mare.— It is raised then from the whole body of the nation, and distributed to that portion of them whose property is vested in this fiction- Is the country most impoverished by the extraction, or benefitted by the distribution ? Montesinos. — You might as reasonably ask whether the fields are injured by evaporation, more than they are refreshed by rain and dew ! Sir Thomas More. — It is not then a mere debt— a mere burthen ? Monfesinos.— On the contrary, it is so much pro perty vested in the manner most convenient to the owners. The effects of the funded system could as little have been foreseen when it was devised as the extent to which it has been carried. It has not only supplied the necessities of the state from time to time, and enabled it to support the costs, ruinous as they then appeared, of the American war, and the stiil more enormous expenditure of the last contest, but by its operation the wars themselves became a cause of national prosperity ; the funds, as they were in- creased, affording an advantageous and secure depo- sit for the new wealth created by that increased activity which the war expenditure called forth. And the wealth thus deposited being producible at a moment, to any amount, has supplied capital for speculations upon a scale unknown in other countries or in other times. British machinery may be ex- ported, or equalled ; British ingenuity may be rival- led ; but it is British capital that puts all in motion ; and it will be long before any other nation can pos- sess capital enough to render its rivalry effectual. Sir Thomus More.— Another and far more mo- mentous benefit must not. be overlooked,— the ex- penditure of an annual interest equalling, as you have stated, the present rental of all fixed property. Montesinos.— That expenditure gives employment to half the industry in the kingdom, and feeds half the mouths. Take, indeed, the weight of the national debt from this great and complicated social machine, and the wheels must stop. The old apologue of the belly and members is as applicable to those reformers who are for ridding us of this debt, as it was to tbe Roman agitators in tbe days of Menenius Agrippa. steam- engine) are affixed, to render the power uniform, by varying the depth of the falling stream. In truth, it is one of the features of the entire establishment, that all that can be performed by machinery is so performed, and that the machinery is the very best for its purpose, and in many in- stances which 1 witnessed as true, as decided in its action. " The first of the works on this spot was built by Mr. Jedediah Strutt, father of the brothers, William, George, and Joseph, about fifty years since. Ark. wright invented the spinning machines while a barber's apprentice. He was joined by one Need, and they expended £ 14,000 with uncertain success. Wright, the banker, of Nottingham, hesitated to make further advances ; and, at this juncture, they were joined by Mr. Jedediah Strutt, a careful man, wilh the necessary credit or capital, and the result was the realization of princely fortunes, aud the enriching even tbe nation itself. On the expiration of their partnership, Arkwright went on by himself at Cromford, and the Strutts for themselves at Bel per. A spirit of detraction would make it appear that Arkwright stole the invention of another; but Mr. William Strutt, who knew him well, and is a competent judge on such subjects, assured me that Arkwright was a man of very superior talents as a mechanic, and quite equal to such an invention. 1 saw two portraits of him in Mr. Strutt'. house, and no higher proof could be given of his personal respect for Arkwright, while he never failed to speak of him with enthusiasm as a man of original taleuts." fttiscellaneous Intelligence.

MANIFOLD PROPERTIES OF THE ELDER TREE. — The elder tree, says Miss Kent, in an article in the ' Magazine of Natural History,' does as much good by its noxious as by its agreeable qualities. If corn or other vegetables be smartly whipped with the branches, they will communicate a sufficient portion of this scent to keep off the insects by which so many plants are frequently blighted. An infusion of the leaves, poured over plants, will preserve them from caterpillars also. The wine made from the berries is well known ; but, perhaps, it may not be so generally known that the buds make an excellent pickle. A water distilled from the flowers rivals butter- milk itself as a rural cosmetic. In some remote country places it supplies the place both of the surgeon anil ihe druggist! it furnishes ointments, infusions, and decoctions, for all ailments, cuts, or bruises.

NA VOLEON'S PASSAGE OF THE ALPS 41 For the treble purpose of more easily collecting a sufficient stock of provisions for the march, o making its accomplishment more rapid, aud of perplexing Ihe enemy on its termination, Napoleon determined that his army should pass in four divisions, by as many separate routes The left wing, under Moncey, consisting of 15,000 detached from the urmy of Moreau, was ordered to debouche by the way of St. Gothard. The corps of Thureau, 5000 strong, took the direction of Mount Ceuis • that of Chabran, of similar strength, moved by the Little St. Bernard. Of Ihe main body, consisting of 35 000, the Chief Consul himself took care; and he reserved for them the gigantic task of surmount- ing, with the artillery, the huge barriers of the Great St. Bernard. Thus along the Alpine Chain— from the sources of the Rhine and the Rhone to Isere and Durance— about 00,000 men, iu all, lay prepared for the adventure. It must be added, if we would form a fair conception of the enterprise, that Napoleon well knew uot one- third of these men had ever seen a shot fired in earnest. " The difficulties encountered by Moueey, Thureau, and Cha'brau, will be sufficiently under- stood from the narrative of Bonaparte's own march. From ttie 15lh to the 1 SIh of May all his columns were put in motion : I. atines, with the advanced guard, clearing Ihe way before them; the geueral, This festival, ' the body of Christ,' was appointed in honour of the Eucharist, and always falls on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, which this year was Thursday, the 18th. It is called the Fete Dieu, or Corpus Christi, and is one of the most remarkable festivals of the Komis'n Church. In the annals of the town of Orvieto, it is related, that a travelling German priest, having reached the small village of Bolseno, on the borders of the lake, while celebrating mass, was disturbed with a doubt as to the truth of tran- substantiation ; when, in a moment, the bread and wine in his hands underwent the miraculous change, nd became flesh and blood,— which he took to Orvieto, followed by the whole congregation in triumphant procession, and deposited in the duomo, or cathedral, iu a very beautiful silver cibbrio, made on purpose, in the form of a temple. From this sup- posed miracle originated the ceremony of Corpus Christi, and the tine painting on the same subject in the Raphael gallery. The Church of Rome, in the height of its power, was extremely scrupulous in all that related to the sacramental bread. According to Stevens, in the Mona. sti. ion, they first chose the wheat, grain by grain, and washed it very carefully. Being put into a bag, appointed only for that use, a servant, known to be a just man, carried it to the mill, worked the grindstones, covering them with curtains above and below ; and having put on himself an albe, covered his face with a veil, nothing but his eyes appearing. The same precaution was used with the meal. It was not baked till it had been well washed; and the warden of the church, if he were either priest or deacon, finished the work, being assisted by two other religious men, who were in the same orders, and by a lay brother, particularly appointed for that business. These four monks, when matins were ended, washed their faces and hands. The three first of them put on albes; one of them washed the meal with pure clean water, and the other two baked the hosts in the iron moulds. So great was the veneration and re- spect, say their historians, the monks of Cluni paid to the Eucharist! Even at this day, ill the country, the baker who prepares tbe sacramental wafer must be appointed and authorized to do it by the Catholic bishop of the district. The following was anciently the manner of cele- brating Corpus Christi at Shrewsbury :— From remote times, it had always been customary for all the com- panies t" unite in the commemoration of this festival. Preceded by the masters and wardens, and graced with colours and devices, they attended the bailiffs and members of the corporation, who, with the canons of St. Chad and St. Mary, the friars of the three convents, and the parochial clergy, followed the holy sacrament, w hich was borne by the priests, under a rich canopy of velvet or silk, to a stone cross without the town. Here all joined in bewailing their sins, and chauhting petitions for a plentiful harvest; they then proceeded, in the same order, to the church of St. Chad, where each company had a particular place in the choir. The festival was followed by three days of disport and recreation, either in the ensuing week or at all early time agreed upon by the several wardens. On the ground where this was held, each company had its arbour. After the Reformation, the religious part of the ceremony was, of course, abolished ; but one day of entertainment is still ob- served, under the denomination of the Show, and is always on the second Monday after Trinity Sunday. Most of the companies have a man - on., horseback, gaudily dressed, called the hing, intended originally as a representation of the monarchs who granted their charters. Thus the king of the cloth- workers per- sonates Edward IV.; the king of the masons, Henry VIII.; the barbers march with a queen, probably Elizabeth. The devices are emblematical of the trades : the saddlers lead a caparisoned horse ; the smiths and armourers are preceded by a knight in complete armour; the hatters and furriers by an American Indian ; the skinners by the figure of a stag as large as life, attended by huntsmen sounding bugle horns. The day is spent in festivity, and the companies return to town nearly in the same order in which they set out. Sir Richard Phillips's Tour through the United Kingdom ( second part) presents us wilh the follow- ing particulars respecting the above objects. These things are perhaps familiar to some of our readers; but as they had novelty for ourselves, they may have the same for others -.— " I proceeded to Be! per, eight miles, to view the superb establishment of the Messrs. Strutt, as cotton spinners. The excellent road, which continues to Matlock and the north, lay through the most delightfully variegated country which 1 had seen since I left Hertfordshire. The village of Duflield, ill a valley of the Derwent, wilh houses on the steep eastern bank, and woods to the top, is one of the prettiest to be seen. On crossing the river, I beheld long lines of cottages, built for the resi- dence of the families employed in Messrs. Strntts' smaller factory at Melford. Passing this, the extensive but straggling and picturesque town of Belper covered the eastern hill. What remains of the old town iR not a tithe of Ihe present one, and the whole is now supported by Messrs. Strutts' gigantic- mills. " 1 approached these with mingled pleasure and astonishment. A manufactory, in such hands, pre- sented none of the usual drawbacks on one's feel- ings. They never discharge their workmen; and good conduct is a life- interest iu comfort. The picturesque beauty of the situation, the height aud extent of the buildings, and the increase of the busy throng, as I entered the yard, was exhilarat- ing. The effect grew as I approached; for the distance of two or three hundred yards, the noise produced by the united rattling of thousands of small wheels was like the sound of a hail- storm on a large skylight, or the fall of an immense sheet of water. " There are five oblong factories and two circular ones.— The five are six stories high, with ten or twelve windows on each story, so that in the five there are, at least, as many regular windows as days in the year. The circular buildings have forty or fifty more. " In this establishment, and at Melford, Messrs. Strutt employ, at present, about 1300 hands of both sexes and different ages, and spin about 18 tons, or 40,0001bs. of cotton per week. The average fine- ness may be taken at 20 hanks to the pound, and hence as each hank is 840 yards, . or nearly half a mile, every pound is nearly ten miles, and the whole, about 400,000 miles, are produced in about sixty- six working hours. In round numbers this is 6000 miles per hour, or 100 miles a minute. What an astonishing effect of the combination of mechanism ! What an inconceivable miracle, if it might not be witnessed, by their favour, at any time ! " Nor should it be forgotten, that every fibre passes through no less than ten sets of machinery, hence the united spindles and threads travel thro' 1000 miles a minute. The noise of their united frictions and collisions, and the united hum of thousands of little spindles, each revolving 4000 times a minute, may, therefore, be accounted for, but can never be conceived, unless heard in the midst of them. " It would be tedious to dwell on the well- known process of cotton spinning; but as this manufactory produces the cleanest aud most perfect yarn made iu England, of its numbers, from 6 to 100, it may be worth while to state, that this perfection appears to arise from the systematic perfection of all the machines, aud from the astonishing cleanness of every part of this great factory. The wheels are as bright as the grate of a good housewife's drawiug- room; every action is complete in its way, and though cotton is a dusty article, yet 1 no where saw either dirt or dust. At the same time order pre- vails throughout, for as the main shaft gives no respite to the carding, roving, and spinning ma- chines, so every attendant diligently and silently watches the lines of bobbins which are performing their miraculous evolutions, while the other appa ratus are correcting and regulating the stages and steps of the production. " The whole is turned by eight or nine water wheels, of about 24 feet diameter and 20 feet iu length. The fall is about 20 feet, and the admira- ble contrivances of revolving balls ( adopted iu the VICISSITUDES OF FORTUNE.— A short time ago a suicide was committed iu Dublin by a French gentle- man named Barre, who formerly resided in Bath ; and many circumstances connected with the history of this individual are of such a singular nature that they are worth mentioning. Mr. Barre was the youngest son of a gentleman of great respectability in the South of France ; and, his family being Hugonots, at the age of 14 young Barre was sent to Russia, where he entered the Russian navy as a midshipman. He was engaged in active service, and soon distin- guished himself for his bravery, and attained the rank of second lieutenant. While in this post, and at a very early age, during a severe engagement with the Turks, his captain fell by a cannon ball. Barre instantly sent below to the first lieutenant to apprize him of the circumstance, when the messenger re- turned, and stated that the first lieutenant had just been killed. The command of the ship was thus thrown upon himself, and he discharged the arduous duty in so gallant a manner, that after the engage- ment he was allowed to retain the command of the vessel. The prosperous situation in which he was placed, however, did not make him forget his native land; and lie chose rather to run the risk of losing the good fortune which seemed in store for him, than to remain longer absent. Soon after his return to France he was appointed to the rank of Captain under Napoleon, in the campaign of Italy, where scarcely a day elapsed w ithout being engaged. Having become known to the Government for his talents as a linguist, being versed in all the European languages, as well as those of tlie East, he was appointed interpreter to Government at a salary of 12,000 francs per annum. He had not held this post long, when he had the temerity to write a song, ill which he indulged in some bitter sarcasms on the legitimacy of the first Consul. This satire brought down upon him the resentment of the Corsican, and an order was issued for his arrest. Orders were given to prevent his passing any of the barriers ; but Barre stole down to the river at night, and loosing one of the fishermen's boats, got in, and dropped down the Seine. By these means he made his way to Havre de Grace, where he found an American vessel just getting under weigh. In this he embarked, and was landed in London, having previously written to the Commissary of Police at Paris, advising him, the next time he wanted to prevent the escape of a man, to keep an eye on the fish boats of the Seine. When he came to Loudon he was soon employed in teaching; and he published a work in two volumes, entitled The His- tory of the First Consulate. He was also employed to translate Sir Sidney Smith's pamphlet on the ex- pedition to Egypt into French, for which he received a very handsome consideration from our Govern- ment. He afterwards practised as a teacher at Bath, and at one period was in the receipt of £ 1800 per annum. His talents were of the first order: he spoke every European language with fluency, and scarcely any Englishman, while conversing with him, would suppose he was a foreigner. He was remarkable for his temperance, having never recollected tasting either distilled or fermented liquors of any kind. He was always near- sighted, and wore glasses from an early age. One of the causes of the indigent circum- stances in which he died may be found in the very unsettled habits which marked him, never remaining any length of time at the same place. He must, at. the time of his decease, have been 59 or 60, but his temperate habits always gave him the appearance of being much younger than he was. The following fact, which is given on the highest authority, speaks volumes as to the rapidity with which business is conducted in the large manufac- turing towns in England. In an extensive calico printing establishment at Manchester, 1000 pieces of goods have been repeatedly dispatched to London by Pickford's vans, which arrive in the metropolis on Friday evening. The same night the bales are put on board the steamer for Rotterdam, which sails at seven the following morning, aud reaches Hoi land at eleven A. M ou Sunday. On Mouduy the goods are conveyed to market, unpacked, and sold by 12 o'clock, w hen a new order is issued, which is conveyed to London by Ihe same steamer, and reaches Manchester on the Thursday following.- Manchester I- I^ rald. MR. DEAKIN'S PIKE, " JOHN."— This extraordi- nary voluptuary, tbe leviathan of the Walk- mill pool, was found defunct in his native element about three weeks since. His length when dead was three feet eleven inches, greatest girth twenty- five inches, weight 29lbs. 9oz. The bones of his head, which has been dissected by Mr. C. J. Greatrex, of Eccleshall, are preserved as a natural curiosity. He is supposed to he the original " pikerell" put into the pool in the ninth year ol the reign of Queen Elizabeth, A.

HABITS OF BIRDS.— At one period of my life, being an early waker and riser, my attention was frequently drawn " to songs of eai liest birds;" and I always observed, that these creatures appeared abroad at very different periods as the light ad- vanced. The rook is, perhaps, the first to salute the opening morn; but this bird seems rather to rest lltan to sleep. Always vigilant, the least alarm after retirement rouses instantly the whole assemblage, not successively, but collectively. It. is appointed to be a ready mover. Its principal food is worms, which feed and crawl upon the humid surfacc of the ground in the dusk, and retire before the light of day ; and, roosting higher than other birds, the first rays of the sun, as they peep from the horizon, become visible to it. The restless inquisitive robin now is seen too. This is the last bird that retires in the evening, being frequently flitting about when the owl and bat are visible, and aw akes so soon in the morning that little rest seems required by it. Its fine large eyes are fitted to receive all, even the weakest rays of light that appear. The worm is its food too, and few that move upon the surface escape its notice. The cheer- ful melody of the wren is the next we hear, as it hustles from its ivied roost; and we note its gratula- tion to the young- eyed day, when twilight almost hides the little minstrel from our sight. The sparrow roosts in holes, and under the eaves of the rick or shed, where the light does not so soon enter, and hence is rather a tardy mover; but it is always ready for food, and seems to listen to what is going forward. We see it now peeping from its penthouse, inquisitively surveying the land ; and, should provision be obtain- able, it immediately descends upon it without any scruple, and makes itself a welcome guest with all. It retires early to rest. The blackbird quits its leafy roost in the ivied ash; its " chink, chink," is heard in the hedge; and, mounting on some neighbouring oak, with mellow, sober voice, it gratulates the coming day. " The plain- song cuckoo gray" from some tall tree now tells its tale. The lark is in the air, the " marten twitters from her earth- built shed ;" all the choristers are tuning in the grove ; and amidst such tokens of awakening pleasure, it becomes difficult to note priority of voice. These are tbe matin voices of the summer season : in winter a cheerless chirp, or hungry twit, is all we hear ; the families of voice are away, or silent ; we have little to note, and perhaps as little inclination to observe Journal of a Natu- ralist. REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE.— On the 12th ult. in one of the ponds in the park of Studley Royal, a large heron caught a fine well- fed pike, weighing upwards of 4lbs. After flying with it about half a mile, it alighted to feast on its prey, but was sur- prised by a party of ladies and gentlemen; who frightened it away, and the pike was taken up alive, and sent as a present to Mrs. Lawrence, the ner of that delightful spot.— Manchester Mer. enry. In the 9th and 10th ceuturies the greatest princes of Europe wore wooden shoes, or the upper part of leather and the sole of wood. In the reigu of William Rul'us, a great beau, Robert, surnamed the Horned, used shoes with long sharp points, stuffed with tow, and twisted like a ram's horn. The points continued to increase till, in the reign of Richard II. they were of so enormous a length, that they were lied to the knees with chains, sometimes of gold, sometimes of silver. The upper parts of these shoes in Chaucer's time were cut in imitation of a church window. The high pointed shoes con. tinued in fashion for three centuries, in spite of the bulls of the Popes, the decrees of councils, and the declamations of the clergy. At length the parlia ment of England interposed by an act, A. D. 1463, prohibiting the use of shoes or boots with peaks exceeding two inches in length, and prohibiting all shoemakers from making llieni with longer peaks under severe penalties. But even this was not sufficient: it was necessary to denounce the dread- ful sentence of excommunication against all who wore shoes or boots with points lunger than two inches. The present fashion of shoes was intro- duced in 1663, but the buckle was not used till 10. The Duke of Athol is said to have upwards of 60 fniles of gravelled walks on his Perthshire estates, and more than half that number of miles of carriage roads; many of which are formed out of the solid rock, and lead, through the most picturesque scenerv, to the tops of various of the lower range of tlie Grampians. But all these yield to that which the Earl of Fife has been for some years forming to the top of one of the highest Bens in Scotland ( Maedni, in Brae Mar, which is upwards of 4,000 feet above the level of the sea), by which materials are carried for fhe erection of a family tomb upon the highest pinnacle of the mountain ! The length of the ascent is nearly seven miles from the foot.— Glasgow Chronicle. WOOD ON FIRE NEAR CHEPSTOW. About eight o'clock on Friday morning, as Mr. Wells, of Piercefield, was sitting at breakfast, lie perceived through the window, at some distance, an extra- ordinary blaze of light, which was found on enquiry to proceed from a fire, that had broken out in the wood above Tintern Abbey, just below Moss Cottage, on the road to Chepstow. A terrible conflagration ensued, and raged with great fury until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when it ceased, in conse- quence of the sagacious measures that had been in the mean time adopted by Mr. Wells, who caused a space of ground to be cleared in advance of the flames, and thus prevented their further progress. This was happily effected in time to preserve the beautiful wood under Piercefield, which would otherwise have fallen a sacrifice to the destructive element. It is said that there were two men on the spot, who refused to assist in extinguishing the flames; which, with other circumstances, induces us to believe that the re was caused by some incendiaries. We trust they ill not escapc punishment.. The Hon. C. Rives, of Virginia, has been appointed American Minister to the Court of France, in lieu of Mr. Brown, of Louisiana. The former gentleman is strongly opposed to the late tariff, and his appoint- ment is viewed as confirmatory of the hostility of the new President to that measure, and of his desire to soften if not to abrogate its provisions. It would seem that a steam carriage is at length about to start in Scotland.— The Glasgow Free Press says—" Our enterprising townsman, Mr. D, Napier, lately constructed, and on Monday last shipped on board a steamer at the Broomielaw, a beautiful carriage, which we understand is designed to carry passengers between Loch Eck and Creggan's Ferry, Strachur. The coach has four wheels, having the body in front, and two boilers with two engines, of four horses power each, placed behind. The cistern is placed under the boilers, and feeds them by the operation of the carriage. The boilers are double, and so constructed that a vacancy is left betw een the water on each side to act as a vent above the furnace for the smoke, and also as a passage for the fuel from the top. The driver or engineer has a seat on the top at the extremity of the carriage, near the machinery, where an index- wheel is placed to steer the fore- wheels and direct the coach. It is supposed, from the size of the boilers, as well as from the short distance between Loch Eck and Strachur ( only five miles), that no fuel will require to be carried, as a sufficiency of steam will be obtained before starting. The body of the carriage is capacious, with eight seats on each side within for passengers. It will also carry as many more without, besides leaving room for luggage on the top. - The vehicle was tried on the road on Tuesday, with 25 passengers, and went at the rate of 12 miles an hour." THE TARTAR OF THE TEETH.— It is said to have been lately ascertained, by microscopical examination, that the tartar upon teeth is produced in the same manner as coral, by anitnalculae resem- bling the madreposa oculia. After the tartar, which, like coral, is a mere nidus, adheres firmly to the teeth, the animalculse burrow iuto the teeth, and, by insinuating themselves between the teeth aud the gum, occasion disease in both ; but tbe secretion from them is often so offensive as lo contaminate the breath. Mr. La Beaume has made numerous experiments wilh different mineral, vegetable, and animal acids, and with alcohol, to ascertain their effects on the animalculse and on their habitation ; and it is a curious fact that, of alt the articles he has employed, the true vinegar acid ( uot the pyroligneous acid which is now generally sold for it) almost instantaneously killed the animalculse, and acted powerfully in decomposing the concretions, so that they were easily removed by a brush. The more powerful acids, in tbe same state of dilution, aud alcohol, seemed lo have little effect on the auimalculoe. In order to destroy the aniinalculae and their eggs, and to decompose the production which protects them, Mr. La Beauino recommends the teeth to be brushed every morning with the vinegar acid ( acidum aceticum verumj diluted with rose- water, and immediately after- wards to make use of the levigated areea nut charcoal, and the tincture of rhatany. The use of the dilute acetic acid every morning will, in the course of a few days, entirely remove the tartar, and the regular employment of the areca charcoal and tincture of rhatauy, every, or every other, morning, will effectually prevent the generation of the auimalculse; but, if there be a strong disposi- tion to their production, he advises the dilute ace. ic acid to be used once a week. Dentists in general oppose the use of an acid, on the supposition that it is capable of decomposing the enamel. " This opposition," observes Dr. Good, " arises from an ignorance of the gradations of chymicdl affinities:" all of them, however, very freely use the most potent mineral acids to facilitate the removal of the tartar iu the operation termed scaling. The true vinegar acid is incapable of acting chytnieally on the enamel of the teelh.— Gazette of Health. Friday one of those phenomena called whirlwinds occurred near East Sheen, attended with more violence than is usual in England. A gentleman who witnessed it pass across a hay and pea- field describes it as cutting and tearing up every tiling in its way with almost irresistible fury. Of a large hay- cock which it encountered scarcely a vestige was left: the hay, after being carried to the height of several hundred feet, whirling about with incon- ceivable rapidity, was scattered in every possible direction; and the pca- haulm it apparently tore up, root and all, leaving a completely barren path behind it. In crossing the hedge, it encountered two full- grown elms, over which il seemed to stop for a considerable time, bending and twisting them one against the other w ith as much case as if they were two small shrubs. A large piece of a limb, which it broke off, after ascending to a vast height, fell at the distance of several hundred yards. About the beginning of tlie whirlwind, it is said it met witii a woman, whose clothes it lifted up, and very forcibly twisted round her head and neck. Mr. R. S. Tighe, in u petition to parliament, mentions that Mr. Jones, the Marshal of the Kiiig'n Bench Prison, has realised from £ 300,000 to i' 400,000 since he has been marshal.
