THIS DAY IS PUBLISHED, In a clear hold Type on fine Paper, and handsomely printed, 12mo, price 4s. 6d. neatly bound, GUY'S GENERAL SCHOOL QUESTION BOOK; in which each Question, in a regular Series, is followed by its appropriate Answer, not only in Ancient and Modem History, in which the Whole is arranged In Chronological Order, but also in Biography, Geography, Astronomy, Heathen Mythology, Classical Phraseology, and a great and interesting, Variety of Miscellaneous Subjects ; the Whole tending to enlarge the Boundaries of Juvenile Knowledge, by increasing its Stores; and thus, by blending such a Course of general Information with sound classical or liberal Learning, to raise a better Superstructure of School Education. By JOSEPH GUY, Formerly of the Royal Military College, and Author of a Chart of General History, Pocket Cyclopedia, School Geography, Elements of As'tronomy, British Spelling Book, & c. & c. London: printed for Baldwin and Cradock. *#* This Work has been compiled by the Author with unusual Care and Attention to the Wants of Teachers. His long and successful Practice in the Education of Youth must always give bis Books a decided Preference over the generality of School Treatises, had they no other Merit ; but Mr. Guy's School Books possess higher Claims; they are more perfect in Arrangement, more choice in Selection, and more classical in Style than any of the Elementary Works that have preceded them. Their extensive Sale is Proof enough of their Value perhaps ; but large as it is, the Publishers doubt not but every Year will add greatly to their . Circulation ; at present the annual Sale of the'Whole is not short of SIXTY THOU8 VNI)! and when the " GENERAL SCHOOL QUESTION BOOK" has taken its Station ( where it soon will be) in every respectable School in the Empire, the total Sale of tliese admirable School Books must be greatly increased. Teachers will see in this ( Mr. Guy's latest and most finished Work) his intimate Knowledge of the Wants of Schools ; and, in the Arrangement, the Power he possesses of abridging the anxious Labours of School Business.

We regret exceedingly to state, that the different branches of trade in this city and neighbourhood, after a slight demand for some articles, ( hough w ith no advance in price, have either sunk or ale daily sinking back into a state even more hopeless and depressed than formerly. This is more par- ticularly the case with silks and fancy articles, and especially the very fine branches of our cotton goods, in which the greatest quantity of capital and labour are employed. Such articles are not saleable ill the Loudon market, but at a ruinous loss, from the unlimited introduction of foreign goods of a similar description. We are assured that in articles of the description to which we allude, manufactured in Paisley a few weeks ago, the depreciation is already upwards of 30 per cent, while in large importations of silk goods from the East Indies into the London market, the depre- ciation is equally great, and the loss equally severe. The consequences of all this are thai a vast number of people are again thrown out of employment, or are, we hear, immediately to be thrown out of employment, in the western district, of Scotland, amongst our weaving population pud females employed in fancy work, already so dread- fully distressed. We know one bouse in this city which, before the introduction of foreign labour and capital into our country, sent t' 2000 a year to the ' town of Irvine alone, which was all paid to females for constant ' employment in fancy work, who < o not now send a shilling; and we know villages at no great distance from this, where the females of a family could earn 7s. per week each in work from the house alluded to, and who do not now earn one shilling in such work ! We need scarcely observe, that all such wages were expended by these females and these families iu articles of agricultural pro- duce, and iu articles the produce of the labour of our mechanics and artisans, and in this way ( he taxes and the expendi( ure of our counfry flowed back in a profitable channel of activity, amongst the population of Our country from London, and Edin burgh, and other cities, the great depots of the national expenditure. Now, however, all this activity is destroyed, and ( he labouring population engaged in the different manufacturing trades, are, from a want of employment, or a want of adequate remuneration for their labour, in every part of the country reduced to beggary and despair. It is utterly impossible to contemplate such a state of things without sorrow and alarm. The farmers every where perceive ( lie misery which prevails around them, and look forward with fear and despondency to that which is approaching them. The shopkeepers in the villages can neither effect sales nor recover debts, nor pay the farmers for what they had taken or would take from them. But how can it be otherwise while our laws and our commercial system give encouragement chiefly lo the foreign capitalist and the foreign labourer, with whom, as with our lively and active neighbour France, more especially, it is in vain, every circum- stance considered, for the British capitalist or labourer to contend or compe( e. Our official returns show, that while we export to France about half a million annually, we take upwards of five times that sum, two millions six hundred thousand pounds per annum, from her in return, an amount of import which is almost doubled since our new system began. But what is this amount of import compared to the real value of French articles which are brought into this country under our new law ? We speak not of the quantity and value imported by smuggling, which is almost incredible, but we speak of the value which is imported tinder the duty, if duly we may call it, where in fact, every thing considered, there is little or no duly paid. Thus, for example, the finest and most expensive French dresses arc imported in the most perfect state, ready in fact ( o put on. The duty on these is levied according to the judgment and the discretion of an excise officer, or the consciences of our lively and elastic neighbours ; and in this way the dress is perhaps valued at £ 3, which is intrinsically worth £ 8 or £ 9, and for which sum it is actually sold. In this way ( here is imported into this country, of such goods, perhaps three ( imes the value which appears in our official scale, independent of all ( he enormous loads of goods which are brought in by the smugglers'. No wonder that our fine cotton manufacturers and silk manufacturers, both at home and in India, are iu every part of Great Britain and India thrown idle and reduced to beggary under a system like this, and which, were it necessary or did our time and our limits permit, we couid show is the same, as connected with our trade to other countries that it is with France. In our light- headed theoretic legislators we have no hope ; in our unbending and prejudiced ministry, we have still less, that any thing will be done to afford relief; but what, we ask, are our landowners, and our merchants, and our manufacturers about, that they do not bestir themselves to force the govern, ment to open their eyes to a system so odious, so pernicious, and so prejudicial to the national interests, the national resources, the na( ional honour, and the national character, as Ihe svstem to which we allude! If we continue to employ foreign labour instead of British labour, it is lis clear as the sun at noon- day, when Ibe heavens are wi( hou( a cloud, that our labouring population, the strength of our country, must become beggars, and our most wealthy population poor; ( he finest parts of Great Britain will, in fact, become, what the worst parts of Ireland now are, the abodes of idle- ness, poverty, insecurity, and crime.— Glasgow Cornier.

FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.— One of the latest acts of the session of parliament just terminated, was that for the regulation of friendly societies. The prin- cipal provisions of the act are, that the tables of receipts and payments shall be so proportionably calculated, as to prevent the probability of bank- ruptcy after a few years, which has unhappily been the case with too many societies, which at first held out the delusive prospects of great benefits iu return for small payments. In order to this-, previous to enrolment, the tables must be approved by a com- petent person, and a fee of one guinea is to be paid for such examination ; but where the rules have been once certified, another society may adopt them, by making an a( fidavi( ( o that effect. The security of the funds is another most important point; forhoweve accurate may be the calculation 011 which the society takes its stand, if the money is capable of being lost or embezzled, the founda- tion is insecure. It is therefore required that the stock shall be invested in landed securities, or the public funds, savings banks, & c. Personal security is thus entirely rejected; and to avoid all possi- bility of loss, the Court of Exchequer is invested with the power of proceeding summarily to take ( he holding of securities out of improper hands • and in cases of commercial failure, each society is placed upon the same f ioting as the Crown, having the right to be paid in full before any dividend can be made to creditors; and all law proceedings are to be without expense to the soci ty engaged. In all disputed cases, where ( he rules of ( he socie( y so specify, the magistrates have the power of settling all questions without any appeal ; but every society has ( he righ( to nominate an arbitration conmitlee consisting of persons not beneficial members, and from this body, as any call may arise, to elect by ballot not less than three arbitrators, whose deci- sion is final ; and the society, to enforce it, has oulv to call upon the magistrates, who are bound to act without any appeal being granted. Care also is taken lo prevent any fraudulent dissolution of the society. The act wisely concludes wi h a provision for a general return of sickness and - mortality, in order that more accurate calcula ions on this sub- ject may be made hereafter. SALOPIAN JOUBMAL, AMP CWESEK OF WALE § . LONDON— SATURDAY. BOW- MEETING. An article in the Times details the exposure of a most iniquitous system of fraud which, it is to be feared, has been practised upon the public revenue in the department of the Customs for many years It states that " Some frauds of a very peculiar and extensive nature have been discovered, we under- stand, in the department of the Excise, by which the government must, in the progress of them, have been robbed of immense sums. It seems that a practice has existed, how long back cannot yet be ascertained, but for a very long period, of sending forged certi- ficates from different parts of the country of the dispatch of Various goods, such as printed cottons, glass, and other articles on which drawback on exportation is allowed by law, for shipment from the port of London. These certificates have been follow- ed, it is said, by vouchers of shipment and debentures, also forgeries, on which the allowance due on exportation has been obtained at the proper office for that purpose. The practice might have remained, a9 we are assured, still undiscovered, had it not been betrayed by the apprehensions of the persons through w hom it was carried on. A portion of the goods on which the drawback was thus fraudulently obtained had been shipped, or rather professed to be so, on board of the Cam Brea Castle East Indiaman, lately wrecked at the back of the Isle of Wight. The guilty parties, or some of them, fearing that the unloading and separation of the cargo from the wreck would disclose the fraud that had been practised on the revenue, made an application to the Excise office— a proceeding which is not very unusual among exporters — stating that they had been prevented from shipping different descriptions of goods, on which the draw- back had been obtained, on board of the Cam Urea Castle, and requesting permission to export the same goods by another vessel. So much time, however, had elapsed since the departure of the ship, during which no notice was taken of the affair, that the application excited suspicion, and on proper inquiries being made, the nature of the fraud was discovered ; and on following up the investigation, evidence presented itself also of its extent and long duration. This is the outline of the facts, so far as they have come out in the course of the day ; but they are necessarily very imperfect, and as the inquiry is still going on, not fully known to any ouf."— The Sun also adds—" In the present instance, it is said, that shipments of large parcels marked as ( glass, 7 on which the drawback is very great, had been made, and that instead of glass only brickbats and rubbish were found in the packages."

On Friday week, a dreadful murder was perpetrated at South Stainley, near Ripley, on the Leeds and Harrowgate road. On that day, some boys, sons of the neighbouring cottagers, were looking for birds' nests in an unoccupied barn, and whifc thus engaged they discovered a man lying down, apparently asleep. To satisfy themselves as to who and what the man was, they proceeded to the spot, where they found a man, not, indeed, as had been supposed, asleep, but in the last agonies of death. An instrument similar to those used by blacksmiths for the paring of horses' hoofs, and a formidable bludgeon, were found near the unfortunate man. A dreadful gash was inflicted on his head ; his throat was much swelled and in- 6ained, and had the appearance of having been repeatedly struck, as if with a large stick, or violently with a man's fist; and there were also marks as if the most desperate attempts had been made to pro- duce death by strangulation. He attempted to speak but was unable at that moment to effect any utterance. On being conveyed to an inn at Stainley, some cordials were administered, and a surgeon sent for from Hip- ley, who arrived shortly after. On seeing him, how- ever, he despaired of bis recovery, and in answer to inquiries made of the man, he stated with great difficulty that his name was Joseph Harper, and that he came from Wolverhampton. He further said he had been very ill used, and that he had been robbed of Is. 3d. This was all the poor man was able to articulate, and he survived but a few hours. After an investigation into the case, a verdict was returned of " wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." The man is an utter stranger in that part of the country, and ( lie affair is involved in the greatest obscurity.— Leeds Intelligencer. ripHE BOW- MF. ET1NG AT HOSE I.

This is announced by the Flanders mail of this morning ; which adds, that Schoumla is invested closely by General Diebitsch. A telegraphic dispatch from the Prefect of Strasburgh to the French govern- ment, published in the Messager des Chambres, dated yesterday, says that, the flotilla of the Danube also has fallen into the hands of the conquerors.— This news was brought to Bucharest on the 2d July, by a courier of Lieutenant General Kraseowsky.— The Augsburgh Gazette, containing it, was brought by express to Strasburgh.— A letter from Vienna, of the 11th, containing the same news, says that two Pachas with three tails, 10,000 men, 200 pieces of cannon, and 204 standards, fell into the hands of the conquerors. — A letter accompanying the express says, As soon as the news arrived, it was communicated to all the ministers. Our government are extremely pleased, and consider the affairs of the East terminated, Peace appears to be inevitable.'"— We believe this last, assertion to be true, and we continue to be of opinion that the fall of Silistria will have no effect upon the main objects of the campaign. The City politicians have already taken Schoumla, and nnrched the Russian army under the walls of Adrianople, They forget the Balkan, and the army of the Sultan. Reports of the new ministerial arrangements are daily repeated in all quarters. Though in their details few of these rumours come at all near the truth, in the fundamental suggestion, that some new arrangement must be made, all are correct. The prevalence of these rumours is, indeed the attestation of the public voice to the truth of the proposition, that the ministry as at present constituted, cannot go on.— Standard. We can state upon unquestionable authority that a proposition was made to a distinguished nobleman of the Eldon party to join the present Cabinet. The offer was declined in terms extremely honourable to the Noble Lord in question, but establishing the utter hopelessness of the Duke of Wellington's receiv- ing any support from the party in question so long as the Right Honourable Robert I'eel holds office under his Grace's Administration.— Since the failure of this negotiation proposals have been made to the Earl Grey, but with no better success; for the Noble Earl has the same fatal objections to Mr. Peel as were made by the former nobleman to whom we have alluded.— The rumour, therefore, gains ground, and was pretty generally believed in the political circles of yesterday, that the Duke of Wellington will be competed to make an appeal to the country by the dissolution of Parliament. It is expected that this dissolution will be anounced on an early day in Sep- tember, so that the elections may be completed before November. The state of the country is so alarming that the re- assembling of the Legislature cannot take place too soon.— Morning Journal. MA III! I El).

STAFFORDSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS.— In ad- dressing the Grand Jury, the Chairman, Sir Oswald Mosley, in allusion to the late attempt to disturb the peace of the county by the assembling of a large concourse of persons to witness a Prize Fight, said— " It would be well for the fact to be generally known, that the Magistrates of the county had come to the determination, as conservators of the public peace, to put a stop to these proceedings. They have ordered that directions shall be given to the High Constables of the county, as well as to all Petty Constables, to inform the nearest Magistrates of any intention which may come to their knowledge of any breach of the peace of this description ; and it should be well understood that it is the duty of Constables to apprehend persons whose evident intention is to commit a breach of the peace, without waiting until they have committed the offence. These scenes proved a great source of annoyancc to the peaceable and well- disposed, and therefore the utmost exertions should be used to prevent their recurrence." last; when the Grand Jury were addressed in a luminous and impressive manner, by the Deputy' Recorder, Joseph Loxdale, Esq. who, in one of the best charges we ever heard from the Bench, embodied the substance of all the duties appertaining to the office of Grand Juror.— This address excited the most marked attention, and a requisition has been signed by the Grand Jury, requesting the Learned Recorder to publish it. Thomas Plimmer and Jonathan Tommeti, the former charged with inciting and counselling the latter to commit a burglary, and Tommey with having committed that felony, applied to have their trials postponed from this Sessions until the Assizes j which application the Court acceded to. David llichards ( an old offender) pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with having stolen a quantity of lead, which was affixed to a dwelling house, the property of Mr. James Sayer the elder, and was sentenced to be transported for 14 years. John Graham ( a hayvker) was convicted of stealing two ducks, the property of Mr. Benjamin Bromley, of Hencott— On Friday, the 8th of May, three ducks and a drake, yvere missing from Mr. Bromley's premises; ou the 23d of May, Sarah Bagshaw, a young- girl in the service of Mr. Bromley, was attend- ing Shrewsbury market, when she saw a female named Thomas offering two ducks for sale, which she knew to be two of those missed from her master's premises ou the 8th of May. With much good sense, she bargained for the ducks without evincing any suspicion, and having agreed as to price, she requested the woman to keep the ducks for an hour jyvhile she went for the money: she, however, went for her master, who had Thomas taken into custody, and she said her mother, named Blanshard, sent her to sell the ducks. Referring to Mrs. Blanshard, it appeared that the prisoner lodged at her bouse, and that he had brought the ducks to her house on the 8th of May, and sold thein to her — The ducks were clearly identified by Mr. Bromley, by Sarah Bagshaw, and by William Fawkner, a labourer employed by the prosecutor.— The prisoner said he bad bought them of a person that he named ; but he did not bring that person forward, nor any one to speak as to his cha- racter. Robert Wychtrley pleaded guilty to an indict- ment charging him with stealing fowls at Grinshill. James Price, aged 24, was convicted of having stolen four silk handkerchiefs, the property of Mr. John Phillips, mercer.— The prisoner, with his brother and a female, went to Mr. Phillips's shop on the 4th of May, and the prisoner purchased a silk handker- chief, which he paid for; in the course of bargaining for this handkerchief, he contrived to purloin, and secrete in his pockets, & c. the four others laid in. the indictment : two young men in Mr. Phillips's employ- ment, saw him steal three of them, and as soon as he had completed the felony by leaving the shop, he w « s taken into custody by Mr. Phillips and searched, and four handkerchiefs that he had stolen were found upon him. The case was proved most clearly. The prisoner, by way of defence, pleaded intoxication; and several gentlemen with whom he had lived as servant, gave him an excellent character; in con- sideration of which, the Court sentenced him to only- one mouth's imprisonment — the last four days of the period to be solitary confinement. John Davies, aged 49, was convicted of stealing a breechband and whip from the stable of Mr. John Crane, of Pulley. In 1822, this prisoner was twice imprisoned and thrice whipped in our County Gaol for different offences : he was, therefore, now sentenced to be transported for 7 years. Mary Jones, aged 64, a pauper in the workhouse, was convicted of stealing a blanket, the property of Ihe Guardians of the Shrewsbury Poor United District.— The prisoner had swathed her body in the blanket, and then put her gown over it; on applying for leave to go out of the workhouse into the town, her bulk excited suspicion, and the blanket was found on her person, when she said she was going to paw n it.— To be imprisoned two months— the last 7 days of the period to be solitary confinement. John Powell, aged 40, was convicted of bur- glariously breaking into and robbing the house of Mr. Ruscoe,- High Street) in the shop belonging to which house the prisoner worked as a saddler.— It appeared that Mr. Tanner, to whom Mr. Ruscoe has given up the saddle trade, employed the prisoner and other persons to work for hiiti on the 25th of May last. Mr. Ruscoe occupied the house where the trade was carried on; but the shop, and a small parlour which connected the shop and the interior portion of the house, were used by Mr. Tanner ; and as Mr. Tanner lived in another part of the town, the prisoner Powell, and other of the petsons employed, had keys of the shop, with which to let themselves in at early hours to their work.— Mrs. Ruscoe being very ill at Mr. Ruscoe's residence in the country, the female servant of Mr R. locked up the house on the 25th May at night, to go to attend Mrs. Ruscoe : the door by which the small parlour communicated with the interior of the house was also then locked.— About a quarter past twelve o'clock that night two of the persons employed by Mr. Tanner, and who had been at work in the country, came to the shop with the i itention of leaving there the tools, leather, & c. which they had with them : they had a kVv, but on trying to put it into the lock they found some obstruction, and they applied to Thomas Pnrslow, the watchman of the district, who came up at the time, to give theiri A light; he did so, and they perceived that there was a key in the lock on ( he inside : the parties therefore c included that some of the family were sleeping in the house, and went away. About two o'clock in the morning, Mr. Butler, superintendant of the watch, on going his round, found the shop- door open : he called out to know if any one was in the house, but receiv- ing no answer, he, with the watchman, examined the premises, and found that a robbery had taken place. — Mr. Tanner and Mr. Ruscoe were sent for; and on investigation it proved that Mr. Ruscoe had been robbed of various articles of plate, about 130 in cash notes, and other money, besides several trinkets and other valuables of a minor description; the door leading from the small parlour into the house, and various drawers, & c. having been broken open.— Mr. Tanner had left the prisoner to lock the shop on the preceding night; but no suspicion arose as to him until two or three days after, when it became known that he had been laying out money pret. ty freely in purchasing a watch, gold seals, & c.; on which his house was searched, and the various articles of plate, trinkets, & c. were found in a room that he used as a workshop, concealed among wool and other rubbish ; some of the marks had been tiled off tiie plale, and a file that had evidently been used in filing plate was found in a place of concealment in the house Mr. Loxdale conducted the case foMhe prosecu- tion ; Mr. Bather was counsel for the prisoner : but the case was one of too forcible a description to leave any chance of escape The prisoner received an excellent character from several master saddlers in Shrewsbury, & c. for whom he had worked; and a paper signed by several in- habitants of Builth, in the county of Brecon, certify- ing that the prisoner conducted himself with pro priety when resident in that town, was also produced. The Jury having returned their verdict that the prisoner was guilty of the burglary, Judgment of Death was recorded against him Richard Ellis, a joiner, aged 23, was convicted of breaking and entering the dwelling house of Mrs. Jane Lewis, on Claremont Hill, and stealing various articles, her property. In this case also the house had been left shut up by the family, on the 18th of June, and the prisoner had been employed on the preceding day to nail up the back windows, & c. ( instead of which, as he afterwards confessed, he had left one of them so that he could get in through it from the outside, having gone across St. Chad's Churchyard for that purpose).— The facts of this case have been already before our readers:— Airs. Lewis and her family having gone to Aberystwith, the prisoner got into the house, and was seen there through the window, by a servant at the Turf Inn, which is exactly opposite: an alarm being given, the house was entered, and the prisoner having got upon Ihe roof, he was taken from thence: a ring and a piece of silver, which were now identified by Mrs. Lewis, were found upon him; and he had broken open almost every lock- fast article in the house.— He conducted himself on bis trial with the most hardened effrontery; and we understand that he is implicated in robberies committed at Birmingham, where he had recently been.— Judgment of Death yvas recorded against him. The Court then adjourned. FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. afternoon. The prisoner was seen passing along the road about that time, having a bull- dog with him. The apparel was shortly afterwards missed from the hedge ; and the prisoner being suspected, the prose- cutor traced him to Shrewsbury, where, between six and seven o'clock in the evening, he found him seated on the ground in the Quarry, with the bull- dog between his legs, and the waistcoat in his bundle, the thief himself being in the breeches not yet dried from the washing '.— The prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned to bard labour for 12 months, and to be twice whipped. Robert Wycherley, previously convicted of stealing fowls at Grinshill, was then put to the bar, and sentenced to be imprisoned to hard labour for 0 months and to be whipped. John Graham, convicted of stealing ducks, as before- mentioned, was also brought up, and sentenced to be imprisoned 6 months to hard labour. Edward Swain pleaded not guilty to an indict- ment charging him with an assault with intent to Commit a felony, and entered into his own recognizance in £ 20, to appear at the next Sessions to take his trial Two persons summoned as Petty Jnrors, and not having attended nor made any application to the proper officer to be released from attendance, were fined in the sum of 10s. each. Application having been made to estreat the Recognizances of R. Watkis and his surety, the former having been bound over to keep the peace at a former Sessions, and, although his term had not expired, having recently committed a breach of the peace for which he was fined £ 5; Mr. Bather addressed the Court on behalf of the parties hound, and expressed a hope that the Court would, in their discretion, think the fine of £ 5 lately imposed a sufficient measure of justice, without directing the recognizances to be estreated.— The Court, on weigh- ing the circumstances, and taking into consideration that, the fine of £ 5 lately imposed was the full extent allowed by law in such cases, and that it was their first conviction under the recent statute, decided that they would not. order the recognizance of the parties to be estreated ; at the same time they gave notice, that lenity should not be considered a precedent; but that, in future, if parties bound in recognizance should be guilty of a breach of the peace while under that recognizance, their recognizances would be estreated into His Majesty's Exchequer. Several disorderly characters were then called upon their respective recognizances ; some were ordered to be discharged ; and others directed to be continued in Gaol until they found sureties; after which the Court adjourned.

In the course of the last week about three hundred feet of stained glass, of the most exquisite workmanship, was placed in the eastern window of the parish church of EI. LESMERK, in this county, the general effect of which certainly equals, if not sur- passes, any thing of the kind iu this kingdom. The principal part of the window consists of five well- proportioned figures of the four Evangelists with St. Paul ill the centre, standing 011 hexagonal pedes- tals, and surinoiliited by lofty and beautiful canopies of the most delicate tabernacle work ; underneath each pedestal is a rich base, on which is an highly orna- mented quatrefoil, the centre of whicli, within a circle, contains the respective emblems of the Evangelists, « liilst that under the figure of St. Paul has the follow- ing concise, but beautiful inscription, in tinman capitals, from the pen of the Itev.

JULY 20, 1829. At the Monmouthshire Quarter Sessions, on Monday last, an appeal was heard against a convic- tion, by J. H. Moggridge, Esq. and two other Justices, under the 58th Geo. 1II. chap. 51, of the appellant, ( J. Williams), employed by Messrs. Kenricks and Co. ironmasters, for the alleged payment by him to the informer, Daniel Jones, of a trifling amount of wages otherwise than in money. The attacks that have been lately made on the respectable ironmasters of Monmouthshire, to whose enterprise and capital that county is indebted for its superior prosperity, for alleged breaches of the provisions of the statute above referred to, made this a case of considerable interest, and induced Messrs. Kenrick and Co. to stand forward in support of the appeal. The case, however, having been called on, and the usual preliminaries gone through, the Court quashed the original conviction — Cambrian. St. David's Church, Liverpool. Much interest was excited a few years ago in North Wales, and indeed among the natives of the Principality generally, whether resident therein or dispersed throughout the Empire, by the contemplated erection of a Church in Liver- pool, in which the service should be performed in the Antient British language, as the only tongue perfectly understood by some thousands of the in- habitants of that populous town, a great number of whom were prevented attending the service of the Established Church, because it was performed in a language to them but partially known. Through the exertions principally of less than a score gentlemen, natives of Wales, but residing in Liverpool, aided by many handsome contributions from other patriotic and praiseworthy persons, a sum was raised, which, in the opinion of the Committee appointed to manage the work, was sufficient to warrant them in com- mencing the erection of a Church, in which the service should be performed in the Welsh language. The Church was accordingly erected, with every proper attention to the economical outlay of the funds in hand ; the sacred edifice was subsequently conse- crated ; and a Minister has been duly appointed, who regularly officiates to a numerous and respectable congregation.— On the completion of their excellent undertaking, however, the Comnii'. tee found that the cost of the work had exceeded the sum then raised by about £ 750 ; and it will surprise many persons to learn that, after all their individual pecuniary aid, unwearied exertion, and disinterested attention to ( more especially) the wants of their humble country- men, the Gentlemen of the Committee now feel themselves personally responsible to the large amount we have stated. We call the debt large as it refers to the limited number on whom the responsibility of seeing it liquidated now rests: but it would be a small sum, if all the parties who ought to feel an equal interest in this good work would but exercise a trifling portion of that christian liberality, which is always best exemplified by first attending to those claims, the justice of which, and the parties intended to be benefitted, can be most readily ascertained by those on whom the call is made. If the Gentry con- nected with the Principality, and the Parochial Clergy of North Wales in particular, of whom there is scarcely one that will not find some humble indivi- duals born in his parish residing in Liverpool, would but promote parochial or district subscriptions in the places within their influence, the sum would be raised without the slightest pressure; and the reproach will thus be avoided of leaving the Committee to bear not only " the heat and burden of the day" in this under- taking, but a! so a load of expense which, it is obvious, ought by every consideration of justice to be generally distributed. The . fleet produced by this rich collection of gla9s is truly astonishing, whilst the " dim religious light," which is shed around, cannot fail of raising, where there is the leasi spark of susceptibility, the noblest associations of piety and devotion, and the impres- siveness of character which it has imparted, bespeaks at once the sacred purpose of the place where it is situated— THE HOUSE OF PRAYER. And whilst the execution reflects the highest credit on the talcuts of Mr. David Evans, of Shrewsbury, and is considered to outvie in effect even his recent and much admired productions in some of the sacred edifices in Shrewsbury, Winchester, nod other places, we trust it will be preserved to many subsequent yenerations, as a splendid example of private muni- ficence. Previous to the introduction of this glass, the Chancel window was much obscured by an altar- piece, quite out of character with the building, and on which was depicted, beside the decalogue, & c two wre'. ehed figures of Moses and Aaron; a tem- porary screen of cloth ornamented is at present placed below the window, until an altar- piece of suitable design is completed, which the parishioners, much to their credit, have very properly directed to be done. Whilst upon the subject, though without going into a^ full detail, 1 would remark that the Church of EHesmere contains some interesting specimens of our ancient architecture, in the north wall of the nave are the remains of four circular arches, evidently of Norman erection, and v » hich served as a communica- tion to a north aisle not now remaining, each arch having inserted within it a square mullioned window divided by transoms with cinquefoil heads. The door leading to the north transept displays a small though beautiful arch, of the period when the circular arch " as giving way to the pointed style; four lofty pointed arches, some of which have clustered capitals, support a well- proportioned tower, and divide the nave, transept, and choir, but their beauty is iu some measure destroyed by the floor of the belfry, and the interior of the Church otherwise much disfigured by ponderous and unsightly galleries, which extend over the iv hole length of thenar e, which is upwards of sixty feet) over the spacious transepts, as well as block up some of the arches in the chancel ; and although it is to be regretted that the pews in these galleries are freehold property, and of course only available but by purchase from the respective possessors, yet it appears to me that this church might be rendered as con- venient and handsome for the accommodation of a large congregalion as auy church in the county, if the nave was taken down, and rebuilt with the addi- tion of side aisles, which I am sure would fully com- pensate, so far as regards the possession of pews, all the " freeholders'" in the west gallery, and occupiers of pews in the present body <> f ' he nave, as well as afford a good situation for the organ, which is much wanted, in a small gallery for the singers, at the west end ; but how this is to be accomplished is not my province to determine. I would also mention, that against the South West wall of the Ouley chancel is a recumbent figure, which, from its battered appearance, having long been exposed to the weather, seems at first sight to be of some antiquity, but this a litile examination will not assign to a very iemo; e period : it appears to be the figure of a knight cut iu stone, and resting on a shallow basement from the floor, above which are the remains of a shield, surmounted by the helmet and mantle. Though the person whom this figure was intended lo represent is unknown ; yet, from a lion pissant guardant appearing ou the shield, it may throw some light ou the subject to mention, that the K> nastons of Oteley quartered these arms from the marriage of an heiress of Fid ward ap Morgan, of Alrhev. At the eastern end of the same chancel is a fine altar- tomb, on which are recumbent figures cut in marble, with the following inscription on the ledge: — SVR • HOC • TVMVLO SECVNDV • AL) VENTV DOMINI • NOSTRI • JESV • CHRISTI • FKAN- CISCVS • KYN ASTON • AR • ET MARGAUETA VXOR • EI VS • FIIJA • FRANCISCT CHAIUTON AR • EXPECTANT • QVI • QUI DE • 1KANCIS- CVS • KYN ASTON • OBIT • QVARIO • DIE AVGVSTI • ANNO • DOMINI • 15150 • At the head of the monument are the following qnarterings in marble, on a mantle, the colours of which are destroyed : — 1. A lion rampant.; 2. A chevron engrailed bet ween three mullets ; 3. On a chevron three mullets ; 4. On a chief a raven; 5. A chevron engrailed ; 6. A lion passant guardant ; 7 On a bend three garbs. This monument is in a state of dilapidation, and the figures much mutilated, and as Ellesmere Church appears never to have bien rich in these ancient memorials, it would be a mark of wisdom to protect them from the unseen ravages of time, and the lingers of modern mutilators, inasmuch as the youthful patriot who views these sacred mementos will he prompted by ardent Hope, as " the deeds of other times" roll in stormy billows o'er his soul, and when memory fondly " beams on days that are past" — to emulate the patri- otic virtues of iiis ancestors, and so be enrolled in the annals of his country's fame. N. H. Y. SHREWSBURY, JULY 20, 1829. • Connected with the arrangement of the figures of St. Mark, St. Paul, and St. Luke, there is a striking coincidence in the fact, that, whilst St. Mark was a convert to the christian faith, and a constant attendant on St. Peter the Apostle, St. Luke also was a convert to the same faith, and a companion to St. Paul. + Arms of David Prince of Wales:— Vert, three eagles dis- played in fesse Or.

MLSCELTANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. ; The Irish papers and letters of Wednesday state that with one or two exceptions ( at Strabane and Fermanagh) the anniversary of the battle of Aughrim ( the 12th of July) passed off without any breach of the public peace. In Strabane, according to the Derry Journal, the military anil po| ice were callcd upon to interfere, and some shots were fired, by which two persons were wounded. In Fermanagh, the Pilot mentions that a conflict took place between the Orange and Catholic parties, in which nine persons are' reported to have been killed, and the former party worsted. No details are given, nor is it mentioned which were the aggressors. It is stated from other sources that a Privy Council assembled at Dublin Castle on Thursday, convened in consequence of the late accounts from the northern counties, to consider the proper measures for adoption ; and it was understood that the Solicitor- General Would leave town that evening to pursue his investi- gation on the spot.—- The writ for Clare was issued on Wednesday, and the election is expected to take place on the 28th or 30th instant. The import duty on wheat is now 13s. 8d. per quarter. The weekly average is 66s. 5d.; it is there- fore likely that the duty will be still higher. The amount paid on wheat on Wednesday is estimated at £ 250,000. Orders have reached Dublin from the Excise Board in London to send over from Ireland one hundred and thirty- six Irish Excise officers, who are to be replaced by a like number of English officers. A report, originating with the Brighton Gazette, states that the Duke of Wellington contemplates an alteration in the tythe laws next session, but of what nature, though professing to give the information « on authority," does riot appear. EXTENSIVE BANK ROBBERY.— A few days ago, a most daring robbery was committed on the banking- office of Messrs. Foster, at St. Neots. The Clerk had locked up the office, and on his return in about half an hour, discovered that some one had entered it, by means, it is supposed, of picklock keys, and had abstracted property consisting of their own and Bank of England notes, cash, & c. to the amount of £ 5000. Huntingdon Gazette. It is said that the practice recently introduced by certain legal characters, of laying aside the judicial costume, has been noticed with " marked disapprobation in a high quarter. On the 13th inst. G Garner, apprehended under a charge of putting off a large quantity of base coi » , was examined at the public- office, Birmingham, & the evidence against him being satisfactory to the magis- trates present, he was fully committed to take his trial at the ensuing Warwick assizes Mr. Powell, solicitor to the Mint, was present, and assisted at the investigation. The three other persons, Davenport, Holland, and Phoebe Smith, apprehended on a similar Charge, were, as We stated last Week, committed on the Saturday night preceding. A remarkably fine Walnut Tree, the property of Mr. Williams, landlord of the Horse and Groom, without Eign Gate, Hereford, it is calculated by competent judges has now upwards of two waggon loads of fruit on it— it appears completely covered with walnuts. An English cricket club has been formed at Paris. It is called the Albion Club, and is composed principally of the young sprigs of the aristocracy. It does not appear probable that this English sport will ever be adopted by the French, although theV acknowledge that It is much better calculated to improve health than the gymnasiums which they have so much encouraged. With horse racing it is different. They can gratify their propensity to gambling, as the excitement is greater than at cricket matches; and their vanity is piqued by a competition with the English, in which, as the breed of horses is actively promoting in France, they expect ultimately to be the victors.— Court Journal At the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Tuesday, John Steuart and Margaret Wright were convicted of poisoning Robert Lamont with laudanum, for the purpose of robbing him The crime was commit- ted on board the Toward Castle steam- boat. It was proved in evidence that it was Steuart's common practice to carry laudanum with him, for which he had a cant name, in allusion to the use he had made of it, to destroy or stupify persons. Both the prisoners displayed the most hardened indifference during the whole trial, and even when the last sentence of the law was pronounced. They are to be executed on the 19th of next month.— The Glasgow Courier, in commenting on the case, has the follow- ing alarming observations:—" The criminal Steuart has, we hear, confessed that he had destroyed no fewer than nine individuals in this manner, in order that he might become possessed of their property as he became possessed of Lamont's property, and that he learnt the horrid trade in London. This hideous and wholesale system of murder is second only to the Burke system, and shews a fearful demoralization amongst our population." KING WILLIAM'S YACHT.— The Betsy Cains was the yacht which brought over King William in 1688. Tradition states that when selected for that enter- prise she was " an old ship," but " a lucky and fast sailer." With the success of her noble freight, her fame rose proportionally. She became one of the appendages of the Court, and for many years was the pleasure yacht of Queen Anne. This we may safely term the meridian of her glory. On the death of her roval mistress she was doomed to experience the vicissitude inherent in all sublunary objects. By order of George I. she ceased to form part of the royal establishment. She still weathered it bravely under the protection of one of the Lords of Court. On his disgrace, change and chance again assailed her; and at length, after manifold degradations, she settled down— I burn wilh shame while I record it into a common collier; anil was employed in the coal trade between Newcastle and the metropolis! In this lost and deplorable condition many weary years and heavy seas rolled over her ; till, at length, having up to the last hour of existence, maintained her original character of a " lucky ship, and a fast sailer," she struck on a reef of rocks near Tynemouth Bar, on the morning of February 17, 1827. Though con- siderably damaged, it was not deemed, at the time, impossible to get her off; and a neighbouring clergy- man in particular was extremely anxious that her preservation should be attempted, and if possible secured, by transforming her into an episcopal floating chapel. His wishes, however, were not seconded. The Antiquarian Society at Newcastle were applied to, but the state of their funds precluded their negociating for her purchase. And thus, through the supineness of some, and the indifference of others, the opportunity of preserving the oldest ship in the navy, perhaps in the world— a ship which had been con- stantly at sea for a space of at least one hundred and thirty- nine years, and very probably one hundred and sixty*— a ship with which so many and such stirring associations were connected, and which might fairly have been considered an object of national interest was lost, utterly and irretrievably. For two or more days she lay stranded on the rock, beating about at the mercy of the elements; and, to one mind at least, seemed to present a melancholy emblem of fallen greatness. What hopes were bound up in that vessel! With what an enterprise— how righteous in its design, and how magnificent in its results was she fraught. How many beating hearts felt, their all was involved in her safety! What numerous and what ardent supplications were offered up for her success! How many were anxiously, eagerly, hourly, on the look- out for tidings of her arrival ! And there, after so lengthened and useful a career, she lav fallen— prostrate— deserted— plundered ! In this ab- ject, but nevertheless interesting and picturesque situation, a drawing was made of her, from which I have reason to believe an engraving will be taken. From the frequent repairs she had undergone, but little of the original vessel remained. That little however, was very fine. It was oak, richly and pro- fusely carved, approaching in colour, from age and exposure, to ebony. There was literally a scramble among the populace to obtain fragments.— John Bull though ever boasting of his Protestantism, is as eager as any Catholic for relics— which were sold at exorbitant prices. Considerable portions were sent over to Ireland, anil were eagerly bought up bv members of the different Orange Clubs, and manu- factured into snuff- boxes. Among others, Sir Har- court Lees feeds his Protestant nose from a tabatiere formed out of the sinews of her whom I loved when living, and mourned when fallen— Betsy Cains. * Assuming that she had been one. and- ttvenfv years at sea when she sailed with King William - no improbable or improvident supposition, as she is stated to have been then an " old shin "_, v,„, Monthly Ulagazhe.

POPB'S HOMKR UTijf 1101) 31 13riti& f) Srcijrre. A chosen hand, wel I - praelis'd in the art, To bend the stubborn bow, and launch the winged dart The fust meeting this season was held on Friday the lOih inst. in ( lie spacious lawn in front of Mol- llngton Hall, near Chester, the seat of J. Feilden, Usq And now went forth the morn array'd in gold, And before her vanished gloomy Night, Shot through with orient beams. The morning dawned propitiously; but towards noon, as the company began to arrive in Chester, on their way to the scene of action, the weather became low ering, and Phoebus hid his face; The clouds their lines extend in black array, And front to front a fearful war display. The rain fell in torrents, and Peals of rattling thunder roll'd along, And shook the firmament. In the course of the afternoon, however, the « God of day" once n-. ore shone forth in more than meridian splendour, as if in compliment to the'tair archers, and the remainder of the day was as favourable for the sport as could be wished. Nothing could excecd the exhilirating scene in the lawn. The gentlemen habited in their " suits of green," and " armed all in proof," reminded of the prowess of Harold's far- famed Kentish men ; while the ladies, attired in fawn colourrd dresses, tastefully vandvked with green, looked like so many of Diana's nymphs prepared to follow the virgin Huntress to the woods, and each bearing in her eyes a thousand darts, more piercing than the contents of the well- filled quiver that gracefully hung over her shoulder. Besides the members, a large party of visiters were on the law n, together with a numerous assemblage of the tenantry and tradespeople of the worthy host, who were specially invited, and a vast, number of persons who were unbidden, though not unwelcome, spectators and guests. The Band of the Royal Den- bighshire Militia, in full uniform, were in attendance, arid played several military pieces and popular airs during the afternoon. Among the company were— Mr. C. Kynaston Mainwaring ( President for ( lie year); Sir Richard Brooke, the Dowager Lady Brooke, and the Misses Brooke; ( he Rev. Sir Edward Kynaston, Hart, and the Misses Kynaston ; Sir Paulius Irving, Bart ; Mr. and Mrs R. H. Barnston, Mrs. L. Barnston, and Miss Barnston; Mr. Mrs. and the Misses Yorke, of F. rthig; Mr. Mrs. and Miss Lloyd, of Iihagatt ; Mr. G. and Miss Kcnyon ; the Rev. G. Cunliffe ( Secretary for the year) and the Misses Cun- lifl'e; Messrs. C.' and J. Mytton, and the Misses Mytton, of Eccleston ; Mr and Mrs. R. H. Hughes, and the Misses Hughes; Mr. Wynne F. vton, Mr. and Mrs. C. Wynne Eyton, and the Misses Wynne Eyton ; Mr. and the Misses Congreve; Captain and Mrs. Phillips; the Misses ISewcome; Mr. B. Thelwall; Mr. G. Brooke, jun. Rev. 3. Brooke, and Miss Brooke; Miss Drake; Miss Birch; Miss Gatacre ; Miss Allinson ; the Misses Currie ; Mr. Mrs. and Miss Matthews, Liverpool; Mrs. Kenrick, Rose Hill; Mr. and Mrs. Fazakerley; Mr. and the Misses Wil- lis ; Mrs. and the Misses Tarleton; the Misses Warrington; Archdeacon Clarke; Rev. R. M. and Mrs. Fcilden; Dr. Thackeray ; Mr. II. Wyatt, the Cottage ; Miss Boydell; Mr. G. Orred J Rev. C. B. Stevenson ; Capt. Doyle, 87th Fusileers ; Major John- son, and some of the OtHcers of the 67ih Regiment, & c & c. & c.— Among this assemblage of beauty and fashion, the lovely inmates of the mansion shone conspicuous, and one above the rest looked la beauty, majesty, and port divine, Supreme* and eminent. An elegant marquee was pitched on ( be lawn, where a sumptuous dejeune d lu faurchette was served up in the first style of elegance and taste, to a company of about, 120 persons, including fifty- six members of the Club. The tenantry and others especially invited, and indeed all who chose to par- take of the reigning hospitality, were afterwards regaled in the tent, where the health of the worthy host and his family was pledged in flowing bumpers of" the generous juice." At three o'clock the shooting commenced — The rival archers one by one advanced : Then all with vigour bent their sturdy bows, And from the quiver each an arrow chose. The gentlemen shot at the distance of 100 yards, and the ladies at 60. The premier prize, a superb hat and feathers, together with the honour of being Lady Patroness for the year, was long and closely- contested, between Miss Brooke, of Norton Priory, Miss M. Newcome, and Miss F. Brooke. At length the former fair archer, resolving not to be overcome, silently ejaculated, as it came to her turn to shoot— . Aid tne, Diana ! Thy votress from my tender years I am, And love, like thee, the woods and Sytrav game. she said — and from her quiver cho. e with speed The winged shaft, piedrttiii'd for the deed ; Then to the slubbui u \ eiv her strength applied, Till the far- distant horns approach'd on either side. The bow- string toueh'd hir brjeast, so strong slip drew. And swift in air the pointed arrow flew ; — Fix'd in the mark the feallirr'd weapon lies- Caps, hands, and tongues applaud it to the skies. The successful competitor was then invested in due form with the badge of her sovereignty, by the Pre- sident, and received the congratulations of the company. Miss F". Brooke and Miss M. Newcome, th » two ladies thus honourably vanquished, were invested with the two medals for the second and third degrees of merit. The gentlemen's medals were won bv Mr. B. Townshend and Mr. T. Eyton. The sport terminated about seven o'clock, and after partaking of tea the company separated, highly de- lighted with the day's entertainment. The second meeting this season, which will take place at Mrs. Kenrick'*, at Rose Hill, was fixed for the 24th inst. but. we perceive, by an announcement in our advertising columns, that it is unavoidably postponed to the llth of August. Rising with the " saffron morn," we quitted Mach ynlleth on our expedition Mr. L , a brother Piscator, accompanied us. The morning being clear, the mountains which yesterday were clothed vapour, to- day displayed their cloudless summits. The drive was captivating : the opening foliage of the sloping woods; the strains of the early- risen birds, interrupted by the occasional rush of the waterfalls, rivetted the attention to Nature. We reached Tal- y- LIyn as before, and found our friend the landlord equipped in his holiday suit of blue for our reception ; and every thing about the modest inn was clean and in order. Morning's meal concluded, I determined, as S. would have a companion in Mr. L , to ascend Cader Idris alone. My friends scarcely credited my expressed intention, until, accompanying them to- wards the boat, T suddenly wished them " a good morning," and " much sport!" and having obtained from the landlord some general directions, inclined towards the foot of the mountain. It was eight o'clock when I commenced the ascent, with a fishing- basket over my shoulder, my rod as a walking- stick, a sandwich in my sac. hcl, ample spirit- in my breast, and " quantum suff." in my pocket. The two former I took with the anticipation of some diversion in a lake which lies about the centre of Cader Idris. The commencement of the walk was exceedingly steep, and at intervals I paused both to respire, and to enjoy a fine prospect of the Lake below. The Anglers were at a considerable distance on the water : I waved my hat, and gave them a holla; to which they replied. My shout produced an echo which ran around the mountains on the opposite side of the narrow valley. It was repeated eight or ten times: at first it was loud, then faint, and at last seemed to come from an extended distance, but was nearly as distinct as when at first heard. There was a mellow- ness of tone in the last reverberation which certainly shamed my voice. Pursuing the route, as well as my judgment could ascertain it, the lake was lost, for a time, to my view, and the hill, for some distance, was less precipitous. But another abrupt ridge soon presented itself, upon which the sun, darting his rays through the parting clouds, seemed intent on exhausting his fire ! With out an hyperbole, his beams were excessively potent. It. is a fact which I have frequently noticed, that when little air is stirring, the mountain projections are by far the hotter parts of the country, as in winter they are the coldest. From the summit of this ridge, I caught a last entire prospect of the lake, with the boat diminished to a muscle shell, upon its glassy bosom. It had a pleasing effect. Meditating upon the Anglers, I gave a Stentorian shout, but received no answer. Indeed it must have been im- possible for me to have been heard, as I was then about a third of the way up the mountain. [ Quaire, — If my friends in the boat, had perceived me, and shouted, should I have heard them ? I imagine I should: for, though, according to Dr. Gregory, sound moves horizontally, it seems not improbable but that a person situated above a sound, would be within the circles of its undulations, while one below it, would be without.] Here excessive thirst oppressed me, but inclining forward to a small flat, some stagnant, but clear, turbary water presented itself; when, niceness being incompatible with necessity, drawing my flask, 1 relished a draught of diluted spirits as though it were of nectar. Another acclivity now- rose to view, and on my right appeared a stupendous and terrific precipice, over whose shadowless head a pair of noble kites were hovering Having wound in an ascending direction left of this crag, I had to walk over and between some huge sharp rocky fragments, a circum- stance which induced me to conclude I had diverged from the proper course ; but a source of gratulation presented itself in the highest part of the mountain It bad a jagged and DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS— A farmer residing in this county sold, the week before last, to a vootst. ipler of Hickley, his lust 12 years' clips of wool, at one poutid per tod. Goolbnrn's " passing cloud having bung so black over him and bis wool for some time past, and the article still getting cheaper, determined him to sell at any sacrifice. About six years since, the same individual was offered 54s. a tod for the sainc article.— Leicester Herald. We perceive that considerable quantities of gold and silver are exporting to Hamburgh. On the 10th of July, 19,000 ou.-. ces of foreign gold and silver were entered at the Custom- house for export- ation to that place. On the same day 200,000 ounces of foreign silver bars and coin we're also entered, and on the llth 17,716 ounces of foreign silver. This is independent of specie sent out of the country privately. Flier* can be no doubt that it is intended either for the Russian or Turkish armies, or, probably, for both. Some people assert that great quantities of sovereigns have lately found their w ay out of the country. In the bank Parlour, we understand, they are apprehensive that this is the case; but they have no means of knowing what is the actual amount of sovereigns in circulation— a circumstance which, as may be easily imagined, gives the directors a great deal of trouble. When they issued nothing except paper, it was easy to ascertain the amount of the circulation. We under- stand, however, upon good authority, that, where the Bank issued 200,000 small notctf, they do not now issue more than 20,000 sovereigns— Morning Herald. towering directly before me. weather- beaten aspect. Winding onwards, I at, length, after a few bruises from the keen projections, set my foot on the last acclivity ; panting up which, another immeasurable steep, bottomed by a circular basin, appeared shelving below me on the other side of the rock ; the sudden- ness of the appearance of which, and its tremendous and almost perpendicular descent, filled with pleasing and utter amazement. Inclining above it, 1 shortly had the satisfaction of standing on the summit of the mountain second in celebrity in Wales Feeling great exhaustion from the heat and exer- tion, I immediately retired to a hut which stands about ten yards from the apex on the north side ; and found on inspecting my watch that about two hours had been consumed in the ascent. There are two apartments in this confined cabin, which has been built for the accommodation of parties visiting this height. It is composed entirely of the large loose stones found at the top. It is of course without an hihabitant, and has a most desolate look. Resigning myself to its solitude, I confess I experi- enced a momentary feeling of mingled awe and fear: for it is hardly possible to be alone, and surrounded by such desolation, such yawning gulfs and chasms as those which I had witnessed, and above which I then sat, without experiencing a transitory sensation of the kind. And it is observable that a stranger knows not how long he may be at liberty to return to the secure valley: for in this tickle climate the mists may speedily envelope the mountain, and ren- der it impossible to descend in safety : a fact which might be attested by a gentleman who, not long since, being alone, lost himself in a fog during part of a day and a night But from the latter cause, though clouds to- day floated in the concave, there was little to apprehend. Shaking off* these feelings and reflections, I sallied forth, and took my seat on the highest point of Cader Idris. Here a varied and an extensive prospect met the eye ! The Rivals, and the Alpine height of Snowdon, in Carnarvonshire; the Breidden Hills, on the con- fines of Shropshire; Bala Lake, expanding in the midst of wildest eminences; Plinlimmon, the loftiest of the hills of South Wales ; and the whole of Cardi gan Bay, with small white sails scattered over its shining surface— were distinctly perceptible. Bar- mouth also, though at a distance of ten or twelve miles, jutted out seemingly at the foot of the rock. The line of the white surf all along the coast was exceedingly distinct and beautiful. I almost fancied I perceived the waves which caused it, so near did it appear; while Plinlimmon showed a distance which the fabulous Cyclops might have accomplished in half a dozen strides. The vale of Dolgellau, to the north, and that of Corris, to the south, presented their green pastures and small tufts of trees; while the woods in Nannau Park ( the seat of Sir Robert Vaughan) were seen partially clothing the side of a distant rugged hill. The whole was a mountainous, variegated map of stupendous magnificence. Who, on viewing such a prospect, could avoid exclaiming, with the sublime Milton— " These are thy glorious works. Parent of good ! Almighty ! thine this un'versal frame, " Thus wondrous fair!" After having gazed with undivided attention on this wild and far- spreading landscape, I gave the reins to Fancy, and she carried me into Shropshire: ( for 1 imagined I had caught a glimpse of the Wrekin, but could not, be positive:) and, faking out my flask, I drank, in sheer spirits, " all friends ' round the Wrekin !" but at the same moment considered myself entitled to act like him who has been' suddehly exalted in life, and to give " auld acquaintance" the " cut celestial," being so transcendency above them! Imagination at last brought me to the Giant Idris, in whose Cadair or " chair" I was then sitting. Tradition reports that he was a ffreat Astronomer, and sat on this rock to watch the progress of the heavenly bodies : a miijhiij fiction! I say no more, but merely ask, might, In* not have been an Angler, and fished from hence into the ample ocean ? Per- haps these old lines were descriptiv c of him and his apparatus: " The Giant's Fishing Tack'e. '' His rod was made out of the sturdy o; ik, " His line a cable which the storms ne'er broke ; " Ilis book he baited with a dragon's tail, " Aud sat upon this rock and bobb'd for w hale. 1' There is a spot somewhere on this mountain where, it is said, if a person were to sleep during a night, he would, on waking in the morning, be either a mad- man or a poet: but no mention is made of either effect having been produced bv such experiment I Was this invention intended as a sly satire against the sons of the Muses, implying that poetry borders on derangement? Certainly, in the eye of the world, there cannot be a greater proof of infatuation, than the preference, for a single moment, of Erato or Thalia to Plutus! But while I had been thus musing, Time had been posting, and it was necessary to consider which way to descend from my exalted station. Quitting the height, I shortly caught a view of the lake in the bosom of the mountain, in whicht intended fishing : but how to reach it was the puzzle? It lay at the bottom of a yawning chasm, whose sides were nearly perpendicular, and of exceeding depth. After pondering, 1 concluded my only way was straight down the precipice. An effort of the mind was necessary to reconcile to the attempt, and with great caution I began to descend, sometimes sliding- down, and at. others creeping in a slanting direction. The loose stones sometimes rolled from under my pressure, and, sounding downwards, warned me of the necessity of constant, care. Taking hold of the jutting rocks, and trying the solidity of the footing places before venturing my whole weight upon them, 1 went slowly on ; when lo! my fishing- basket fell from my hand, and rolled down the precipice, till luckily a crevice received and saved it from " a watery grave!" A consolatory reflection, that if I should chance to topple, some friendly fissure or projection might intercept my fall ! Having with some difficulty secured my basket, 1 advanced with the same continued caution, and ulti- mately reached the lake without further mishap. Looking at the place I had descended, it was indeed terrific both to the sight, and imagination, and to my mortification I perceived, that if I had walked about a hundred yards on the shelving edge of the summit, before I commenced the descent, I should have discovered, though a steep, iin easier, and, as it appeared, the usual route, down to the bottom of the cavity. Such little untoward circumstances as these must be expected to attend in the absence of a guide. But, for myself, I have a dislike to guides, consider- ing them restraints on thought. They cannot be supposed to participate in the feelings of the Rambler; and as to the information obtained, the generality are as uncommunicative of interesting matter, as the rocks they tread. I sat down on the margin of the lake to prepare for angling. This sheet of water is upwards of a quarter of a mile in extent. It. is called Llvn Can ( the Lake of the Chasm), and boasts good trout. The most pic- turesque and precipitous cliffs, sprinkled over in places with green patches of moss, or other vege- tables, edge it in on three sides. The whole scene lias the appearance of having been caused by the havock of a volcano, the water filling the bottom of what imagination might easily conceive to have been the crater. Comparing small things with" great, it is like a tea- cup from the side of which a piece hath been broken. It is ti e most tranquil and solitary spot that any Anchorite might desire to seek. There was nothing living perceptible, not even a bird or a sheep : the only object that informed me of respiring nature, was a fish or two that leaped in the centre of the still and crystal water. The shadows of the rocks on the lake were dark, beautiful, and deep. The overhanging projections about the summit of Cader Idris seemed to threaten annihilation to the gazer: yet there was no fear from what has stood the shock of ages. The scene was altogether en chanting : yet, I confess, my enjoyment would have been cncreased in the company of one with " frater feeling strong,'" and Copwer's lines occurred to me : " I praise the Frenchman, his remark was shrewd: " llow sweet, how passing sweet, is solitude ! u But grant me still some friend in my retreat, < f Whom I may whisper— solitude is sweet."' I fished, but without success, as it was now the worst period of the day for diversion, and there was not a sufficient breeze upon the wafer; and after having- repeatedly thrown my line, without being able to tempt a trout to rise, resolved to quit these solitudes in search of my friends below. Without a. sufficient wind, it is useless to angle in a pool with the artificial fly. Thus river- fishing has the advantage, the swiftness of the currents t< ndiug to conceal the deceit. The path of descent from Llyn Cau to Minffordd was easy of discovery. Pressing onwards, I reached a point, around which the shelving and bare rocks are bold and striking beyond imagination. The most absolute sterility and silence prevailed, save when at intervals, to my surprise, the cuckoo's voice swelled on the gentle breeze. There is a song in the Welsh language, which was composed sixty or seventy years ago by a gentleman named Morris. Ii is entitled " The fair . Maids of Merioneth;" and is sung by almost every Cambrian vocalist. A question occurs in it ( as I have been informed) to this effect: " Who would expect to hear the cuckoo sing amongst the mountains ?" Certainly no one would expect to be saluted by her note amid such a scene as that, alluded to : a scene of indescrib- able wildness and grandeur, which can never fail to attract and enchant the admirer of irregular nature. Some Poets sing of nightingales charming the ear, in groves, where none but sparrows chirp; some make eagles cry, where kites only nestle; while others represent doves cooing, where only owls scream ; but the Welsh Poet in bis allusion to the cuckoo is correct! The path leads do- vnwards from these crowding crags by a foaming cataract; on the opposite side of which a shepherd was descending by means of a pointed staff, with such case and rapidity, as almost to elicit my envy. But it was not long before I reached the foot of the mountain, in view of the lake 1 had quitted in the morning, and, after a w alk of a mile, the presence of my expectant friends. It will be perceived that I have not attempted a general description of this prominent feature on the face of nature, ( the base of which, it is calculated, is included in a circle of about twenty miles,) but have merely marked out the route that I took ; which occupied six hours. There are three usual ways of ascending it, namely, from Dolgellau, Minffordd, and Tal- y- Llyn. Almost the first interrogation which a low- lander puts to a person who has climbed the cliffs of Cader Idris is—" Did you sec any goats?" I answer, none. These animals are only found in their wild state in Carnarvonshire. A few inhabit the Snowdonian LONDONIANA — THE STREETS. There is a great art in walking the streets of London : the countryman is a long while before be gets into the practice, aud his awkwardness, in this respect, is one of the marks by which he is very readily distinguished, even if lie bare doffed his country- cut coat and hat, and imagines that be is altogether one of the " right sort." How quickly will a pickpocket fix him in his eve, and keep close to his^ heels in a crowd for a whole street together! The habit of gazing at the shop- windows, and at every trifling novelty in the great thoroughfares, and the want of that utter indifference to every thing but the object towards which he is journey- ing, distinguishes the indigenous individual from the stranger in the street. The genuine Londoner is an absent man in the most crowded parts of the city. He proceeds on his way coolly, casting up his bills in his mind, arranging to- morrow's busi- ness, or projecting new schemes of profit, as un- moved and abstracted as if he were walking alone across a desert. He never jostles those he meets either right or left, but proceeds along, clear of porters and draymen, gliding with the current of vitality that flows on his own way at the general rate, nor breaking in upon the counter- marchers who face him in a continued stream ; he could peruse a book or a newspaper uninterruptedly during his progress from Charing. cross to the India- house, in the midst of thousands, undisturbing and undisturbed— his habitual ease in such circumstances being the distinguishing trait of his character. The sojourner of the provinces, on the other band, when visiting the metropolis, is sadly puzzled to steer clear of the multitudes he meets. There is a story of one of them on record, who, coming into Fleet- street from a cross court, mounted the step of a door at noon- day, to wait, as he said, " until the people coming out of church bad gone by." It is pleasant to see him launched forth into the metropolis for the first time, raw from Cumberland and Westmoreland. Now he gets into the current of people passing the opposite way to himself, and finds himself pushed off the pavement into the middle of the street;— now he staggers among those who have their right hand to the wall, aud not keeping the pace of the rest of the passengers, is pushed forward, or jostled, or, stopping at a window to see some common- place thing, obstructs the passengers, and is pushed through the glass, or loses his pocket- handkerchief. Disasters are for ever occurring. He is bewildered by the noise and confusion around him, and is happy to return aud take his rest at his inn. It is scarcely < re. lible to a Londoner, but there are well- authen ticated instances of temporary madness in persons bred up in the privacy aud solitude of remote coun- try villages, from being left, alone and getting bewildered iu the streets of the metropolis. The great secret of walking the streets iu comfort : s an adherence to the rules established by custom — amely, to take the inside of the pavement when the right baud is to the wall, aud the outside when the ri. rht baud is toward the street,— to catch the pace of the going or returning current, as the case may be, and never to attempt giving others the law, but lo proc- ed with what Johnson calls " the tide of human existence." Never stop to listen to street- minstrels, nor stand lo iking up at the figures of St. Dunstau's church; if you do, you will infallibly discover the meaning of the proverb of being penny wise and pound foolish. Never delay your homeward steps at a late hour by going out of your direct path upon seeing a mob assembled, or on hearing the watchman's rattle: proceed impertui bably. Never give an alms, nor pay the least attention to night beggars, nor notice the appeals of strang- ers, nor suffer any conversation to be maiutaiued with you by them. If a drayman bring his whip across your eyes, do not stop to resent it, unless you are sure you are the better man of the two, and have little money in your pockets for the by standers to rob you of If you are right iu those respects, knock him down at once; you have no belter mode of obtaining justice. If a porter drive his load against your spectacles, forcing them into your nose, overturn him, burden and all. If you are not strong enough, you must pocket the injury. Never buy a cheap box of cigars, a watch, a ring, a pencil- case, or similar articles, when offered you by any one in the streets. Never buy of a street Jew, not because of his faith, but because all Christians having united to persecute him, he very fairly thinks himself bound to retaliate by taking them in whenever he can. Amuse yourself as you walk in contemplating character in the faces of those you meet, and thence guessing their profession or class. About'Change you will find the genuine count- ing- hcr~ j V pbiz— c< thirty pence istwo- aud- sixpence." About the Haymarket, on market- days, you may contemplate the country farmers mingled with the off- scouring of Palais Royal opera- dancers, and the scuin of Italy, iu furor brocade, pale, emasculated, idealess, and insolent, lu Bond- street, the whisker- ed vacuity of the dandy's countenance may be studied to most advantage; whilst Goodman's- fields furnishes the primest physiognomies for learning the expression and character of the children of Israel. In Thames- street, at noon day, you may see the cautious, plodding, commercial cast of face; aud in Bishopsgate that of the petty retailer, who values sixpence more than he does his soul. The Borough, St. Giles's, and Wappitig, also furnish distinct traits of feature. Thus do the streets of London display endless studies of human nature for the reflective- minded passenger,— all that is great, admirable, vain, vicious, and degraded,— in higher perfection than any other spot of the known world.— New Monthly and London Mag. for July. Canadians, unknown to me, took it up and threw it a little way into the lake, where the water was about ten feet deep. This rather displeased me : the poor fellow, seeing this, was as sorry as myself; so we went down on the lower ledge of the rock, and, what was to me extremely curious, we beheld the avrill crawl- ing slowly on the bottom beneath the deep water. In about five minutes time it reached the bottom of the rock, and continued very slowly to clamber up to the surface, in doing which it seemed to have great diffi- culty, and was frequently about to relinquish its hold, and fall again to the bottom. Had the lake at this time been ti* e least agitated it would not have suc- ceeded in ascending the face of the rock. At length it came out very much exhausted, having been beneath the water about twenty minutes. How it can live in such a situation so long I leave it to anatomists to judge ; and how it knew the way direct towards the shore, instead of steering its course farther out, is also a mystery. It must have seen the rock rising up from the water, or the small declivity of the beach might have given it some information as to this. I am thus minute, for worms and their ways are things not sufficiently attended to by us, although they get our bodies to themselves at last. The manner in which they work out their holes is very curious; the borings are passed beneath the belly, in a hollow between the rows of legs. These, being strong, move about the dust of the rotten wood. The hollow is not unlike the groove of a gimlet. In Plymouth Sound there is a marine worm, about three quarters of an inch thick, and about the same length as the avrill, which bores holes through the limestone rocks in the sound, where the salt water is from twenty to forty feet deep. 1 have seen many of these stones so bored, and when inspecting the bottom with a diving bell, for a good foundation to a sea- wall that was about to be erected, we found acres of it bored as with a wimble to a considerable depth ; even many of the limestone blocks that compose the breakwater in the Sound are bored like a sieve, and actually devoured by this worm. It succeeds in making these holes by putting a quantity of sand before its head, when it works away 1 ke a marble cutter, making a circular aperture. It may not be proper perhaps to say that this worm will gnaw the breakwater so that the damages may take some cash to repair: this work keeps sinking every year ; per- haps it may be mainly attributed to that cause. Thus do we see very insignificant animals perform wonders. The interminable forests of America are cleared of their dead timber by a worm that grinds its hard particles, when the friability of the substance absorbs moisture, and decomposition rapidly ensues. We observe the bottom of the ocean changed in a strange manner, and the hard rocks reduced to powder; the sand, in due time, after shifting about from one coast to another, becomes consolidated again somewhere else by meeting with minerals of a plastic composition. In short, look where we will, the constant transition of nature is sufficiently obvi- ous.— Madam/ art's Canada. f$! i0cc! lancctS( j J- ntcIUgencr. TtlE AVRILL, OR WOOD WORM. regions. It is a question, which of those rival mountains, namely, Snoivdon and Cader Idris, presents the more magnificent prospect ? Both have their respective advocates. Having ascended each, I confess I am at a loss to which to yield the superiority. Snowdon is somewhat loftier, but they both successively fili with awe, astonishment, and delight; and the view from each is sublime. I remember reading some lines in a periodical on the subject of " Black and blue eyes," the gallant writer of which could not determine to which to yield the palm, but concluded : " Let each thou reign without controul, < k The black all mind, the blue all soul Let also the contest between the admirers of these Chiefs among the mountains remain, as it respects myself, undecided. The Anglers, although they had resolutely per- severed, had enjoyed little diversion, having caught only eight trout. The day had proved too calm. We adjourned to the inn, where all were happy to indulge in rest, refreshment, and conversation. Some fish were dressed, but they were white and flabby : the general charges against Tal- y- Llyn trout. The indifferent success of the Anglers to- day, ex- emplifies the uncertainty to which they are subject. Fishermen are so dependant upen wind and weather, that they may adopt a celebrated Bacchanalian senti- ment, changing only one word, and drink to—" The glorious uncertainty of Angling!" We were amused by the perusal of a book kept at the inn for the entry of the names of visitors to the lake. One wrote—" bad sport, but good accommo- dation another— u excellent diversion a third recommends " those who value time, not to come here to waste it;" while a fourth expert Fisherman had " caught three trout at the same throw, and landed each." Unwilling to be singular, we made the following entry : " Bad sport: think there were but ttight trout in the pool, which we caught." Bidding adieu to Tal- y- Llyn and Cader Idris, we retraced our route to Machynlleth. [ TO BE CONTINUED.] ERRATUM --- In our last, for Reached our destination for reflection, read Reached our destination for rejection. Resting myself one excessively warm day on projecting block of moor- stone rock on the shore of the Redeau Lake, I took a large clam shell that was lying beside me bleaching in the sun, and pitched it into the pellucid waters. My eye followed it as it sunk zig- zag fashion to the bottom, which seemed to be about twenty feet down but on trying it with our sounding apparatus it astonished me to find the depth forty- two feet. How much deepev the eye could have pursued the object there is no saying, as it seemed to increase in size the deeper it went. While pondering on this matter one of our Canadian party brought me a large black worm out of the wood, in the hollow of his hand ; the same I had often seen before, but never having had leisure to examine him minutely, I now set about that important matter. He was four inches aud a quarter long, one quarter of an inch in thickness, had sixteen legs on each side of his belly, making in all thirty two; the body was of one thickness from end to end. The tail and head were rounded in the same manner, only in the head there seemed to be a mouth, wimble shaped— no doubt set round with cutting edges, if a microscope were brought to assist the vision, as it can bore holes into trees that are in a certain state of decay as neatly as any gimblet, hence its French name of avrill. On minute examination we also found that it had eight vertebra?, or divisions, with four legs to each. The trees which this singular animal seems to admire are those which have been deprived of their bark by age ; it crawls into them first at some crack, or at a hole from which a knot has fallen out; for be it known that when a tree gets shrunk from the want of sap, t!> e knots, being of a hard substance, do not shrink so much, but generally either drop out, and leave a hole behind them, or a vacant space partly round between them and the tree ; the reverse being the case when it is young and growing, the knots are then formed by being acted upon by the pressure of timber that keeps swelling about them. Once in, this strange worm keeps boring holes, to the outer rind, and through it; for, although the tree has no bark, a hard casement encloses the rotten interior. Now, this would seem to be done for the purpose of introducing moisture, and promoting the decomposition, as nature seems as anxious to encourage decay as growth, and this certainly does it. A capillary action is brought about by these worms, and moisture conducted through the tree. Were no holes made the casement alluded to would remain for many years, being ren- dered almost as hard as stone by the dry weather and heat of the sun. This worm and the woodpecker are never at work on the same tree ; the season for the bird is before the bark falls off, which it greatly promotes ; that of the worm after. The movements of this worm are not very quick; when laid down on the warm horizontal rock it travelled about a yard in a minute. One of the AMERICA.— The recent intelligence from the United Slates is of considerable commercial import- ance. The first manufacturing district in America, the neighbourhood and town of Patterson, thirty miles from New York, has been thrown into a state of great agitation by the failure of the bank. The manufacturers generally, in the Union, are suffering the greatest hardships; and as the establishments are generally joint- stock companies, it appears impossible that they can stand the competition with English goods. They are ^ conducted with greater expense, less skill, aud with little regard to economy, as is usually the case with these bodies; in several places the workmen, following the example of the English, have struck for higher rates of wages, and as further calls for money are made on the proprietors, which have in many cases been refused, the letters antici- pate that a great crisis in American commerce is fast approaching. CHINA.— A Canton Paper of the 2d of February contains a long account of the confrontation of the prisoners accused of the massacre of the Naviga- teur'ir crew, with Francisco Manaiapan, the only survivor. The ceremony took place in the open court, before an immense audience. The survivor identified the parties, and particularly one man, to whose protection he owed his life. The sentence of the law was afterwards inflicted on seventeen of them, who were decapitated.— On the state of trade at Canton, the following article is given :— v " There is such a general stagnation of trade at this particular period of the year, that few remarks remain to be made on the commerce of the place. The silk piece goods now in the hands of the manu- facturers may be obtained at prices considerably under the prices before prevailing, as is usual when money is scarce, and the demand for a time ceased. This branch of trade, we understand, has been curtailed this season much, and the exports to Europe and America very limited. Teas are also to be purchased on very favourable terms. Some small supplies of Nankin raw silk have been received lately, but little remains in the market. Nankins are in demand. Silver continues very scarce, and very few new dollars to be obtained even at a premium of one per cent. The small- pox has pre- vailed here for some time, and many of the Europeans have been attacked. The distinguished Sardinian nobleman, Count Viduo, has just arrived from Manilla. He is visiting China in pursuit of scientific knowledge. The opium market was in a state of extreme depression, which, it was appre- hended, would be aggravated by the desire of many to realize funds, as usually happens on the depar- ture of a Bombay ship; but before our paper, dated the 17th, was distributed, an improvement had taken place, sudden and unexpected." DIAMONDS.— Much expectation has been excited by the announcement of a method of making dia- monds discovered in France, aud communicated to the Academy of Sciences at Paris, by M. Gannal, on the 2d of November last; but as yet the expecta- tion has not been satisfied, and no philosopher, who can be considered as competent to judge of the process and the products, has as yet sanctioned the announcement by the authority of his opinion. The point to be gained is the ehrystallization of carbon and this, it is said, is done by the simplest possible case of chemical affinity. The well- known liquid compound of sulphur and carbon is put into a vessel, covered with a layer of water, and then a stick of phosphorus introduced ; the phosphorus, dissolves in the sulphuret of carbon, soon takes the sulphur to a sulphuret of phosphorus, and the car- bon is set free as a chrystalline diamond powder It is distinctly said that chrystals are obtained white or colourless, very brilliant, hard, extremely refractive, and admitted by the lapidary to be real diamonds. The dancing portion of the community ought to prepare their minds for a vast revolution in the dominions of Terpsichore. The insidious gaUope ( some say gallopade, but we prefer gallope) has triumphed over the waltz, inasmuch as it is only when the gallopers become tired with the double turn and diagonal scuffle that they subside into a waltzing sort of march to rest themselves; but that is not the worst— English country dances are again spoken ofin society, and have been actually danced at the Royal Lodge. Reels, toos are now intrepidly ventured upon, having the same orthodox authority. The dowagers are most anxious to catch at the change, for it is acknowledged that since the intro- duction of dances which require the whole attention of the performers, and, above all, place partners at a considerable distance from each other, marriages have decreased in an alarming degree. Next season this difference will be visible— old English country dances will come in, and there will not be half a dozen unmarried women iu St. George's or St James's.— John Bull. BE CAUTIOUS HOW YOU SPEAK.— A traveller who had put up at an hotel not far distant from Newark, and who was then a stranger at the inn, was asked by another traveller how business was? " Very bad," replied the other : " 1 have left home three weeks, and did'nt pay my expenses at any town I stopped at." This being overheard by the land- lord, his bill was quickly prepared and delivered^ much to the astonishment of the commercial soli- citor, who, however, paid it directly. Communi- cating the circumstance to another traveller, the cause was asked, when an explanation took place : that he meant to say, " the profits of the trade ha had done would not pay the expenses." A young gentleman of fortune, lately married to an amiable female of most respectable family, lost, on Friday last, at play, £ 3000 in money, a diamond ring worth nearly £ 200, his watch set with bril- liants, aud his post- chaise, with the appurtenances. The horse Sailor, bred by Mr. Thomas Gwyther, of Hoplas, iu the hundred of Castlemartin, Pem- brokeshire, a tenant of Sir J. Owen, Bart, and which was successful at the late Ludlow Races, was sold by Mr. G. about two months ago, after winning at Bath and Bristol 500 sovereigns, and is considered the best half- bred horse ever reared iu Pembroke- shire, having won for Mr. Gwyther, last year,- plates and stakes at Bath, Bristol, and Ludlow^ amounting in the whole to the value of £ 300. EXRAORDINARY DISPATCH.— An eminent physi- cian having found it necessary to send an express from this town to Lincoln, applied at the Plough Hotel, from whence a post- boy was instantly dis-*. patched on horseback, who accomplished the dis- tance, 140 miles, in 12 hours and a quarter. He remained in Lincoln only 3 hours, and returned to Cheltenham in 13 hours, having travelled a distance of 280 miles in little more than 25 hours, notwith- standing that he was detained some time at several places where he changed horses.— Cheltenham Chron. The reports from the moors this season are favour- able for the sportsman. The grouse having met, with no interruption during the period of incubation, promise to be in fine condition by the 12th of August, and to have fewer cheepers amongst them than has been the case for many years past. The coveys average from eight to 12 in each, and on the moors in the lower range of the Grampians they were never seen so numerous. It is remarkable that notwith- standing the abundance of birds there has been more muir- burning this season than usual— a fact well deserving the attention of both proprietor and tenant, as. it has been often experienced, that plenty of heather will not secure plenty of game; but, on the contrary, that a regular rotation of muir- burning, if we may so call it, is as beneficial to birds as to sheep. The black- cock appears to be plentiful, and partridges are small but numerous.— Paisley Advertiser. he Tha nes Tunnel, it appears, is to be recom- menced, and the Directors were empowered, at a meeting he'd on Tuesday, to contract for the com- pletion of the work in any other mode than that heretofore adopted. A new v hide called the " Omnibus," an imita- tion of those in Paris, commenced running on Saturday from Paddington to the city. It is made to accommodate 16 or 18 persons inside, aud is drawn by three hurses abreast ! What next ? MARCH OF INTELLECT.— An aged countryman, hearing a good deal said about the march of intellect in a shop in this town one day last week, took the liberty of commenting upon what he understood to be the meaning of the phrase, in substance as fellows:—" If it is meant that this generation is wiser than those which have preceded it, I say there must be some mistake; for," continued he, addressing himself to one of the party present, " I U ew thy father, aud thy grandfather, and thr- y . were both of them better men, in every respect, than you can pretend to be." Now this was a homely practical sort of thrust, that we suspect very few of our ra. irch- of- intellect men would like to encounter at every turn.— Preston Pilot. A correspondent iu the Gentleman's Magazine attempts to remove the difficulty which has hitherto existed in accounting for the manner in which the ancient monuments at Stoneh'- nge buve been erect- ed, by proving thai there would be no difficulty at all to remove stones of the same size by the mecha- nical means daily employed for removing large weights. He calculates the weight of the largest stone at Stonehenge not to exceed 30 tons ; while the weight of the stone on which the equestrian statue of the Czar Peter, at St. Petersburg!!, is mounted, is computed to amount to about 143 tons, and that was carried a distance of eight miles over most difficult roads. He states further, that Mr. YVestmacolt has now in his study a block of marble, weighing 1> J tons, which was dragged by as many- horses. The weight of the equestrian statue of Achilles, in Hyde Park, is about two tons heavier than the largest stone at Stonehenge, and was taken from the artist's without horses, and suspended in the air before lowered on its pedestal. As there are quarries within twenty miles of Stonelienge, those pieces of rock might have been carried to their present position without any very wonderful exertion of mechanical power. The number of persons enrolled in the commission of the pence in England is 17,802; in Wales, 2130; making a total of 10,932. Of these, 5014 are returned as acting magistrates. His Majesty has been graciously pleased to command that an annual donation of two gold medals, of twenty- five guineas eaah, should be placed at the disposal of . the Oriental Translation Committee, for the purpose of furthering and encouraging Oriental Literature. Colonel ( the late General) Kemyss, of the 40th regiment, was remarkable for the studied pomposity of his diction. One day observing that one of the men in the ranks had a particularly dirty face, which appeared not to have been washed for a twelvemonth, he was exceedingly indignant at so i- oss a violation of military propriety. " Take him," said lie to the corporal, who was an Irish- man, " Take this man and lave him in the waters of the Guadiana." After some time the corporal returned. " What have you done with the man [ sent with you :" inquired the colonel. Up flew the corporal's right hand across the peak of his cap, " Sure an't plaise your honnur, aud didn't yV honnur tell me to lave him in the river ? uud sure enough 1 left him in the river, and there he is now according to y'rhonnur's orders." The by- standers, and even the colonel himself, could hardly repress a smile at the facetious mistake of the honest corporal, who looked innocence itself, and won- dered what there could be to laugh at.— United Service Journal. MURDER OF MRS. DOXATTY.— It seems that the perpetrator of this offence, which at the time excited so much horror in this country, and which was involved in so much mystery at the time, has at length been discovered. From a statement in The Hobart Town Gazette, Van Dieman's Land, of February last, it appears that a man named Joseph. Moulds, of most desperate character, after many dreadful outrages as a bush ranger, was apprehended with two others and capitally convicted. Previous to execution he confessed that he was the man who had murdered the unfortunate Mrs. Douatty, at her house in John- street, Bedford- row, about six years ago ; and as he had nothing to hope, he was desirous before his death of clearing innocent parties from all further suspicion.— This must be most gratifying intelligence to Mr. Donatty, the contractor for the City tolls, who, it may be recollected, suffered great persecution on account of this tragical occurrence. Mrs. Donatty had promised to leave him the whole of her property ; but having left no will it was divided among her relations. Mr. Donatty received but £- 250, although he had reason to expect £ 4000. A correspondent informs us, that muny individuals of the metropolis h-. ive had informations lodged against them for selling the aromatic spirit of vinegar, according to the Edinburgh Dispensatory, ill the quantities of sixpenny worth, and that they have ( notwithstanding their sense of the injustice of the proceeding against them) paid the mitigated penalty of £ 5 each. Our correspondent further informs us that, according to the wording of the act of parliament ( not the intention), the carbonates and subcarbonates of soda, potash, magnesia, and ammonia, and also the various acids with which these articles are often combined, in solution, are liable to the stamp duty, as constituting " substances from which water impregnated with carbonic acid gas are made," and that the solicitor of the Stamp- office might w ith equal justice, proceed against the parties for recovery of penalties for selliug these articles without stamps. The aromatic spirit of vinegar was not sold as a nostrum with a printed recommendation of its qualities and efficacy ( this would render it liable to the duty), but merely as any other preparation of the Pharmacopoeia Morning Paper.
