[ From the Star of Brunswick.] There are certain periods in the life of every indi- vidual,. when apprehensions for his own well- being; impel hint to a retrospect of the past events of his existence, and an examination of the circumstances under which he happens to be placed, if he seek a protection from the dangers that are to ensue, or a palliative for the calamity that is present. As with individuals, so is it with communities; and we pre- sume men of all parties will agree with us in thinking, that Ireland has now arrived at such a crisis. Twelve months have not elapsed since the state of this country was bruited abroad, as requiring, by imperative necessity, a vital change in the constitution of its government. The Demagogue, the Priest, the liberal Protestant without, anil the Minister within the tvAHs of Parliament, upon the agitated state of society, and the prospect of its immediate aggravation, ( a state, by . the way, created by the former, and despicably permitted by the latter,) grounded their arguments for this necessity. The country, they alleged, was in a state of unparalleled commotion— a convulsion of the whole frame of society was to be apprehended — " things could rut go on as they fa- ren— and what was to be done ? Re- enact the Penal Cotle we could not. To remain as we were was impossible; and the question was reiterated, " What was to be done ?" Old- fashioned people advised an experiment upon the law, for the purpose of ascertaining its sufficiency to restrain the sedition anikpunish its stimulators. But the state of parties iii the House of Commons rendered cdercive measures hazardous, or at least troublesome, to the existing Administration. The Lower House of Parliament was pledged to the Catholic Question ; and although the Duke of Wellington could have united his then Cabinet upon the principle of Protestantism, with the snme facility as he afterwards modelled it upon the principle of Concession, and thereby have secured a majority in the Lower House of Parliament, yet the experiment was thought dangerous. The debaters in that House were with the Catholics; and the Duke well knew its Leader to be without the spirit or ability to oppose the Liberal party, and maintain the character of his government. A dissolution of Par- liament would have been too troublesome— it would have been a risk in Ireland, and occasion an expense in England to the retainers of the Ministry. To these motives, the vanity of carrying a measure, in which Pitt, and Fox, and Canning, were unsuccessful, was superinduced as an additional incitement. The great obstacle was the King But what signified to the Autocrat the feelings of his nominal Sovereign J He it was who placed the injured Canning at the head of a government, with which Wellington and Peel were Protestants too sincere to connect them- selves. The feelings of him who had placed such a man over their heads, although their King, were undeserving a moment's consideration. The Duke of Wellington then, in spite of his Sovereig-, carried the Catholic Question. Thus this healing measure, as it is called, passed into a law. O'Connell chuckled, and Joint Leslie Foster actually smiled. To a small part of the nation, the removal of Catholic disabilities was satisfactory; they had been taught to expect from it the happiest anil most important results. It was a star, at whose rising the storms of party rage were to be hushed, and the waters of popular commotion to be allayed. It was tile harbinger of peace, which was to bear healing upon its wings— And what have been Ac results ? Alas! it Has come, not to bring peace to Ireland, but rather a sword-; it- has already sprinkled it - and we affirm, before Gi- d, with deep sorrow and sincerity, we believe that ere long it will'deluge it— with blood. Its population appear to set no higher value upon the lives of their fellow- creatures, than children do upon the vital principle of so many insignificant insects. Blood is shed over the whole land, and, we do believe, is regarded with as much indifference as the streams that trickle down the sides of its monn tains. It will be asked hy those, ignorant of the state of Ireland, why have these events happened, or how long are they likely to continue, or in what manner are they to be adduced as the consequences of the Popish Bill1 The answer is of deep import- ance, and at the risk of being prolix, we shall inform tiie inquirer of the causes which have led to the occurrence of these, and which, we fear, will lead to the reiteration of similar events ; and in what manner they are to be estimated as the legitimate conse- quences of Catholic. Emancipation, and of those prin- ciples of state policy which prevail with the Welling- ton Administration. In the first place we will assert, what probably no one will now deny, that " Catholic Emancipation" has two meanings in Ireland — our readers will ex plain it by the legislative enactment that has been passed in the late Session, but the Roman Catholic peasantry attach to it, a far different signification.— They have long regarded it as a measure calculated to abolish all rent, and taxes, and tithes. They contemplate in it the supremacy of their church, the restoration of the property of their forefathers, and to ensure them a triumph over their Protestant brethren, whom they regard with a severity of hatred incon- ceivable to the mind of an Englishman— having been taught to regard them as their natural enemies, and as the descendants of those foreigners who were the subjugators of their country. Actuated by this belief, and these motives, they are told, that they have at length extorted Catholic Emancipation from the Government Not complete E Mancipation ; for taxes, and tithes, and rents, and the Protestant Church of Ireland still remain, though destruction awaits them also in triumphant proximity ; but still they are told they have obtained Emanci- pation. This they are told expressly by their leaders, while the Government tell them the same thing by implication. Orange processions are de nounced ; Orange insignia, a lily or ribbon, worn front time immemorial by our Irish Protestants on one day in the year, made now the subject of a criminal prosecution. A murder is committed in the eyes of hundreds- a Roman Catholic Priest is the spectator of the act, beholding both the assassins and their victim. His Majesty's Attorney- General thinks it a matter of indelicacy to call on this Clergyman, a « an evidence, and the criminals are undetected. While at the same time Mr. O'Connell makes a public entry into Dublin, adorned with what were once t ie insignia of rebellion. In the Courts of Justice, in presence of the Assistant Barrister in Clare, within the last month, the green ribbon, and the medal of the Liberator, are openly exhibited wi h impunity. The Irish peasant, though he be ignorant and bigoted, is yet no fool. He knows that, if Mr. O'Conneil is allowed to have his processions, with green boughs, and green ribbons, under the very nose of the Irish Viceroy in the metropolis if Mr O'Gorman is to plead the cause of the would- be ten pound freeholder in a Court of Justice, adorned with similar garniture— if his Majesty's soldiery or police are without reproof to array themselves with similar emblems, while Orange processions are put down by proclamation, and an Orange ribbon, slender as it may be, found yet strong enough to bind a soldier to the triangles, or to cashier an unfortunate p iliceman ; and when he recollects how often, when the English Government was pressed hy foreign power and domestic treason— when invasion was threatened from abroad, and rebellion raged at home — that that orange emblem glistened on the flag of victory, he may readily infer the day of his own pre- eminence h is already arrived ;— and such is the feel- ing over the whole country. In the North, the Roman Catholic peasantry appear well armed and well organised ; and the Orange processions have been attacked, this year, which for ma iy years have been conducted without molestation. In the South, the system of assassination and searching for arms proceeds with renewed horrors. The state of the County of Tipperary is perfectly awful. We cannot better convey an idea of the condition of society in that part of the country, than by placing before our readers a short view o what we have learnt of the affair at Borrioskane. O. i Friday, we believe, the attack was made upon the Police, ( who, by the bye, are now the object of general vituperation by the Liberal party all over Ireland,) and sum" persons had been shot. A report went abroad that several shots were, that day, fired from the house of one Ledger, a Protestant; a report which we understand to be totally devoid of foundation. On Sunday a large party of Roman Catholics came into the town, and proceeded to attack and burn Ledger's house; one man stood on the garden wall, close to the cabin, and commenced ( lulling up the thatch ; and when he had made a j hole in it, large enough to admit his arm, one of the party inside put a pistol to his breast, and shot him j dead— the assailants then proceeded to burn the j house and murder the inhabitants, when the latter a'lied ou', and shot several of them. There were many witnesses of the facts we have stated; y< t these unfortunate men dare not bring an evidei C ' to t ie Coroner's inquest, lest they might lose the b nefit of his testimony at the Assizes— as such would, assuredly, be murdered. Witness the event which took place, eveji while the Solicitor- General was holding an inves' gation, in Borrisokanc, last week. A man proved the absence of one of the police, who were charged by some of the parties in that neighbourhood. Not long after he left the Court, the officer, who was in the town, came into Court, and said—" My God, Sir, there is a most, horrible murder committed ; they have cut out that man's tongue, and broken every bone in his body." The fact is, the Roman Catholic peasantry think they are no longer under the necessity of imposing upon themselv. s any restraint— and it must be acknowledged, the conduct of both legislative and executive give them too much reason for entertain- ing the opinion. We had intended to detail the state of feeling upon the part of the Irish Protestants. They are the most ill- used body of inen in the world, and they know themselves to be so. It is a folly in the Govern- ment to suppose they can suppress Orange pro- cessions in the North, until they punish Catholic aggression in the South, and in particular inflict due castigation upon Liberators and green- ribbon Ring- leaders.

The Government issuing" a Proclamation ( see 4th pacje) " to suppress the meetings of any number of his Majesty's subjects * for the manifestation of particular opinions, political cr religions? is a proposition so monstrous, so inconsistent with any idea of rational liberty, so adverse to the spirit of the British Constitution, and apparently so rash and ill considered, that we should not have c edited any evidence of the fact short of our own eye sight. What! may not any number of his Majesty's subjects meet in peace for the manifestation of tlu- ir religious opinions, in a church, for instance— or ( if the Levellers think that place makes a difference in their favour,) in a public room — or in the open air, and shall they by a proclamation be involved in the disgrace and in the penalties which the laws, if impartially administered, would inflict upon those, who, by 4 violent a id illegal means,' would * resist1 that manifestation, and bring the public peace into danger? What! may not. any number of his Majesty's subjects, lawfully convened, assemble themselves together in peace, for the manifestation of their political opinions, in petitions and remonstrances to the Crown or Parliament, without incurring the opprobrium, and subjecting themselves to the punish- ment, which the laws intended should reach only the violent and illegal, the disturbers of the public peace, and the pppugners of his Majesty's peaceable and well disposed subjects? We thought tliat the Con- stitution made a distinction between the loyal and di- affecled— that laws were enacted for the protection of well doers— and for the punishment of evil- doers: that the sword of the Magistrate was committed into his hands for the punishment, of wickedness and vice, and the maintenance of true religion and virtue. But. now we find the sword indiscriminately pointed against those of his Majesty's subjects, who lawfully and peaceably assemble for the manifestation of constitutional principles, and sound religious opinions, no less than against others who, by violent and illegal means, would disturb them in the legitimate exercise of their undoubted privileges : we now find the law ( if it be the law) clasping in its undistinguish- ihg grip the well- doers and the evil- doers ; either for the purpose of shielding the guilty by the impenetra- bility of the innocent, or with the effect of involving the innocent in the punishment of the guilty. We now find the Constitution ( if it be the Constitution, even undef its dismemberment) removing the land- marks of alfegiaitce, and massing, in a common chaos of principles-, the disaffected and the loyal " Such, we fearlessly say, the true construction of the late Proclamation, and of the levelling system of policy, so much in modern vogue, upon which it is founded. But, let the Government look well to 1he conseq\ iences of this system. If neither the Con- stitution, nor the Law, nor the Magistrate make a discrimination of principles, individuals, and the public, which is composed of them, will soon either forget or neglect any moral or political differences between good and evil, allegiance and disaffection * society will be disorganized, the basis of Government will be sapped, and the wretched system of con- ciliation, conceived in folly, be ^ un in weakness, and continued in infatuation, will end in an anarchy, more hideous than any that ever yet was witnessed, in proportion to the surpassing excellence of the institutions which it shall have ruined, and the strength, both moral and political which, whilst exercised in their purity, they had engendered." CLARE ELECTION Thursday is the day fixed for the Election for Clare. In a former number of the Star of Bruns- wick, we stated that Mr. O'Connell could not be the sitting member— at least in the. present Parliament. That statement we repeat advisedly, and upon the best, authority ; and we know ( hat such is the opinion of Mr. O'Connell and his friz- rids, who have taken their measures accordingly- The writ, as it wili be veen, is of a special nature, framed so as to meet all the circumstances of the case, and prepared it is said by Sir Edward Sugden, the English Solicitor General, who it will be recollected expressed a decided opinion as to Mr. O'Connell's ineligibility to sit in the present Parliament by reason of his having declined to take the oaths prescribed by law. It is said that Mr. O'Connell has laid cases before eminent Barristers in this country, whose opinions have coincided, and to the fullest extent, with that de livered by Sir E hvard Sugden. We can positively state that a Candidate will be put in nomination at the hustings, and that a sufficient number of votes will be polled to enable him to avail himself of the point unfavourable to Mr. O'Connell j and it is understood that to meet this, the As ociation intend starting Major M'Namara, and outpolling the candidate set up in opposition to Mr. O'Conriell, so that, in any event, they may have a member of their own selection. We have every reason to think, that the course stated, will be pre- cisely that which will be adopted. The following notice has been issued by the High Sheriff, Simon George Purdon, Es< j. in obedience to the writ which it embodies :— " Whereas I received his Majesty's Writ, under the Great Seal, for Electing one Knight to serve for this County in the Parliament to be holden at the City of Westminster," in the room of Daniel O'Conneil, who w; is chosen a Knight for the said County before the commencement of an act passed in the late Session of Parliament., for. the relief of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects, and who has refused to qualify him- self to sit and vote as a member of the House hy taking the Oath of Supremacy. In obedience to the said Writ, I do hereby proclaim and give notice, that at a special County Court, which will be held for the purpose of such Election only, at Ennis, in and for the said County, on Thursday, the 30tn of July instant, at the hour of eleven o'clock in the fore, noon, I will proceed to such Election, when and where all persons interested therein will be heard and are to give their attendance accordingly."

UMONS will be preached in the I'AH1SH CHURCH of WELLING K) N, by the Hon. and Iter. H. BRIDGE MAN, A. M. Rector of Wiston ; after each of which, Collection will be made for the SUl'FORT of the W ULLINSTON PA- ROCHIAL SCHOOLS. SIR,— Having witnessed some of tlie late festivities at Boreatton, and read an account of them in the Chronicle of Friday last, 1 would willingly bear testimony to its tolerable accuracy : but most solemnly do 1 protest against some observations insidiously, and, 1 will add, maliciously foisted in the body of that description. That in so large and motley an assemblage some few would " go empty away," might, or rather must naturally have bef n expected : and that " three or four tents appeared unoccupied," was surely at least an uncalled for innuendo, where " lore was meant than dared to meet the ear " The honey Bee, we know, never unsheathes her sfing, unless to avenge an insult, or protect her well- earned forage; while the w anton Wasp or Hornet, in his predatory incursions, strikes indiscriminately at all within his reach. In the latter genus must we then rank that paltry pnragraphist of scandal; and beg him to resl assured that he seeks in vain to gain wit by quoting scripture; and that few, very few, he will find, whom the fear of detraction, or the 1 ire of satire, will tempt to purchase his vile commodities. More gladly will your rational readers recollect, that by such miscalled vulgar frivolities as these our ancestors wisely contrived to frame and cement, our unrivalled constitution. And truly happy ought we all to feel that, amidst the masquerades, fancy balls, and standing suppers for the rich and great, these homely, unobtrusive, but heartfelt gaieties are raising their humbler heads, and reviving " the better part" of onr ancient institutions. They give us a new- reading of the old adage, " Charily begins at home," teaching it to blaze around as well as within our walls, to expand the circle of each domestic bliss, and to make us emulate ( if you will allow the Hoxvery conceit) the mejtirig colours of the celestial bow, which pass imperceptibly into each other, and form, when fully mingled, one hue of glowing white*, the true emblem of untainted innocence, and pure relitri^ n. *** July 27th, 1829. orthv family long seated in the county, iivcollecling his friends around him in his own man- sion in the true spirit of ancient hospitality will be generally followed. The preparations for this event were on a scale of g eat profusion, and Ibe whole scene was one that well deserves a more striking delineation than that which our limited space will permit us to present to tlie J) blic. A splendid new pavilion, formed by a central cir- cular tent 21 feet in diameter, with two w ings ( each 18 feet by 16), was erected on the lawn ; this was ceiled with scarlet and lined with green and white stripe, producing a singularly beautiful effect At a short distance was an elegant and ample tent, appropriated for dancing ; and other smaller tents for the accommodation of the numerous parties invited, were dispersed on suitable and adjacent sites on the l. iwn. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Infant Heir and his two sisters, with their nurses, were conveyed from the mansion to the parish church at Baschurch in Mr. Hunt's carriage, followed by a barouche, ( con- taining Lady Lyttelton, one of the sponsors, and Miss Browne,.- the proxy of Mrs. Lloyd, of Glangwnna, accompanied by Sir Rowland Hunt, of Exeter, also a sponsor, and Mr. Hunt, of Boreatton,) and several other carriages, in which were the numerous friends and relatives of the family. The other sponsor was the Rev. George Hunt, re- presented by Mr. Charles Plowden. The space in front of the altar was completely filled by the relatives and friends of the Infant Heir, who received the name of ROWLAND LLOYD HUNT from his uncle, the Rev. Thomas Hunt, by whom the service was impressively performed ; the body ( if the church being crowded by an attentive and respectable congregation. The fami y and friends returned in order from the church to the mansion, on reaching which the band already stationed there struck up an appropriate air. Another procession was then formed, at the head of which Mr. Hunt supported the venerable Lady Lyttelton ( now in her 87th year) to the centre of the lawn, to witness the planting of an oak tree, in com- memoration of that event which had brought her Ladyship 160 miles, to participate in entertainments given in honour of the great- grandchild of one under whose maternal and fostering care her Ladyship had been reared on that site now graced by her presence. Dinner was this day served up to a party of thirty- four of the family and friends ; and after the remove the table exhibited, among an infinity of inviting delicacies, a noble cake, presented by Mrs. Scoltock, widow of the late Mr. Scoltock, grocer, Princess- street, in this town, a tradesman that had served the family for many years, and who was by them, as by all who knew him best, highly and deservedly esteemed. This handsome present was appropriately decorated with white roses and other flowers ; from the centre waved an ornamental pennon bearing the motto, " Prosperity to the Heir of Boreatton and the pedestal on which the staff of the pennon rested had inscribed on it " R. L. H." The effect was highly gratifying, and the taste displayed by Mrs. Scoltock in the arrangement of the cake and its ornaments, as well as the feeling which prompted their transmission for this occasion, were deservedly complimented. Oil Thursday, a numerous body of the tenantry, tradesmen, and neighbours assembled by invitation. A splendid dinner, comprising venison, turtle, with, in fact, every thing that could please the eye or gratify the palate in rich profusion, was laid in the pavilion. It is superfluous to say, that on the cloth being removed a splendid dessert followed, and that the glass was unsparingly supplied and circulated briskly. In the afternoon, the wives and daughters of the neighbouring tenantry and tradesmen took tea in the pavilion ; after which the assembly adjourned to the . large tent, where dancing wiled away the remainder of the evening; and the festivities closcd with a bril- liant display of fireworks. On Friday afternoon, dinner, dessert, & c. were laid for the servants of the family, and their friends, in the pavilion ; after which Mr. Hunt presented new flags to the stewards and stewardesses respectively of the men's and women's friendly societies established at Baschurch. The flags were handed to tli- m by Mr. Hunt from the windows of the drawing- room, with an appropriate address to the members of these most u eful societies. As on the preceding day, dancing followed, and an elegant cold collation was laid for the refreshment, of the party ; but the display of fireworks intended for this evening was prevented by the unfavourable state of the weatlier. On Saturday evening, there was a Ball for Mr Hunt's servants, and for the servants of those friends- and tradesmen who had been invited to the house on this happy occasion. Mr. Hunt himself opened this ball, and expressed how much he felt gratified at the pleasure the festivities appeared to afford to those around him. This evening, all the cold meat, & c. was distributed to the labouring poor of the vicinity. Yesterday aflernoon, the wives and daughters of the cottagers on Mr. Hunt's estate, and in the neighbour- hood, drank tea in the pavilion, the Baschurch and Ruyton Bands being in attendance as on the former days; and the festivities were thus brought to a final close. In addition to the really clever performances of the two bands above- mentioned, the company in the mansion and at the pavilion were gratified during breakfast and dinner each day by the skill of two harpers, Mr. Richard Pugh, of Dolgellau, and Mr. Jones, of Capel Curig. Sir. Jones is a well- known performer, and requires no commendation ; Mr Pugh is a young man of most promising talent, and his masterly touches elicited the highest compliments. The whole of the festivities passed off in the most gratifying manner, and were calculated to promote that feeling of mutual good- will between a landlord and his tenantry and dependants, which, where it prevails, is the proudest inheritance of the aristocracy of the land. It is hoped that a similar routine of pleasurable entertainment will in due time commemorate tne majority of the Heir of Boreatton. On Monday last, a man named " William Hudson was employed on Mardol Quay, in this town, with a cart and horse, to convey a load of beans from a barge then on the river there ; when, having unfortunately omitted to scotch the cart wheels, the horse backed, and w- ith the cart w as precipitated over the edge of the Quay, falling into the barge, and throwing Hudson against the after- deck of the vessel, by which his thigh was fractured, and he was otherwise dreadfully injured.— The horse was not much hurt. At the late Quarter Sessions for this Couuty, an o'. der was made by the Magistrates, that instructions should be transmitted to all the High and Petty Constables within the county, directing them to take the requisite steps in future for preventing any Prize- Fight w- itl i i their several jurisdictions.

The thunder was most appalling, and vivid flashes of lightning instantaneously followed each peal.— It has not yet been ascertained that any damage was done by the electric fluid ; but the rain fell in torrents, a d hail stones ( or rather irregular pieces of ice as large as walnuts) fell, and almost universally destroy- ed the crops of the industrious husbandmen of Pick- stock innumerable windows were broken, and the cellars, kitchefcs, & c. of most of the distressed tenants and peasantry were literally deluged; and many a cask ( preserved for regaling the swains at the eusu- ing. harvest, which, by the bye, will it is feared be very unproductive) was thrown from its still age, and . fyecame a prey to that less potent liquid in quality, though not in quantity, which assailed it.— Mr. James Wright, Messrs. Payne and Hazledine, Messrs. Thos. and Henry Stokes, and the Widow Rudge, on the farms in their respective holdings at Pickstock, and Mr. Richard Wright on that in his holding at Mow Cop, are the principal sufferers. The poor cottagers — although their losses to the more opulent maybe Considered iittle, to themselves they are indeed great — their crofts and gardens, the objects of their industri- ous attention, and of their almost unremitting toils, and which have ever afforded a remuneration for, and a solace after, those toils, have in a great degree fallen sacrifices to the storm, and will, in all probabi- lity, deprive them of many of the comforts which they would have enjoyed, had not the above dreadful catastrophe happened.

GEORGE ROBIN'S has great Satisfaction in announcing that he is directed to SKLL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on Thursday, the I3ih of August, at Twelve o'Clock, iu One Lot. a highly important and singularly desirable FREEHOLD PHOPEUTY. It comprehends THE YVHITWELL ESTATE, WITH THE WHOI. E LORDSHIP & ENTIRE VILLAGE, degirsibly situate twelve Miles only from York, and on the direct Road to SCAK BOROl'lGH, ( a fashionable and much frequented WATERING PLACE,) and Marllon and Whitby. The Estate embraces so tunny and such important Qualifications, that it will be impossible to compress them in the confined Limits of an Advertisement. Enough, however, will be said, it is apprehended, to enlist the serious and immediate Attention of the great Capitalists, and more especially those whose Property is in the Funds; for it will not be doubted that the exceedingly high Price must render a re action at no distant Period quite certain, and the very Cause which necessarily will diminish the one will increase in the exact Proportion the Value of Land, and especially such an Est; ite as the one now presented, to which the most sceptical could not hazird an Objection. It includes NINE FARMS, CONTAINING 1557 ACRES OF SUPERIOR LAND, PRODUCING NEARLY THREE THOUSAND POUNDS A- YEAR, With Farm Houses and Buildings as may safely challenge Rivalry. — The Tenantry , sf Lno- Kt » ndill!>". imv « « /... v...• is only bp aucttou.

The Committee have derived much Pleasure from a Perusal of the Report of Mr. Telford, which they have requested the Chairman to lay before you, and they know not how to convey to the present or absent Proprietors a more satisfactory Idea of the Undertak- ing entrusted to their Superintendence than is con- veyed in the Words of Mr Telford, who concludes his Statement In saying — 44 From the minute Inspection 44 made and full x detailed in my Report, 1 am justified k4 iu stating, that iu the Whole of the three Lots into 44 which the Canal Works are divided, they have been 44 performed in a workmanlike Manner, and are 44 brought to such a Stale of Forwardness as to leave ' 4 no Doobt of their being completed within the stipu- 44 lated Time," which is the Beginning of May, 1830 The Committee, in Furtherance of the Plan for Completion of the Undertaking, have, since the last General Meeting, directed Plans and Estimates lo be prepared for the Reservoir, and have, under the Advice of Mr. Telford, entered into a Contract with Mr. W. A. Provis for the Execution of an additional Portion of the Line of Canal, extending a little more than six Miles from the End of Mr Wilson's Contract, and terminating in the Estate of Earl Talbot, in the Parish of Church Eaton. The Amount of this Con- tract is £ 114,1) 78, and the Period fixed for its Com- pletion is two Years from the present Time. Arrange- ments have been made with the several Landowners, and vour Committee look forward with Confidence to a satisfactory Completion of this Part of the Works, in which is comprised a very large aud expensive Em- bankment The Committee have considered wirh Attention the various Suggestions which have been made to them relative to the early Completion of the Newport Branch, which the Proprietors are probably aware will form a direct Communication with the Mineral District of Shropshire, but which by the terms of our Acts of Parliament, ueed not be perfected until one Year after the Time fixed for ihe Finishing of the Main Line of Canal To complete the Main Line and effect this Rtanch, which no one can doubt will be a profitable Source of Revenue, the Company are authorised to raise by Loan the Sum of Jt' 100,000! The early Expenditure of which Sum will render more productive the subscribed Capital on the Main Line, and ensure a Revenue from the Branch Line towards defraying the Interest on the Loan expended in its Execution. The Committee hope the Proprietors will seriously consider the Propriety of hating a Special General Meeting convened, or some oilier Means adopted, to ascertain whether any Plan can be sug- gested lo rnisp among the Proprietors, by Loan, the Whole or any Part of the Amount required for the final Completion of this important Undertaking at an earlier Period than the Year 1832. It was resolved, on the Motion of J. BATHER, Esq. seconded by Mr. HAZLEDINB, That the Committee he requested Special General Meeting of the Proprietors, lo coi sider the Propriety of completing ihe Newport Brum- al the same Period as ihe Main Line of Canal is to VALE OF LLANGOLLEN. The Lots in the Village of Ford are well si Minted for building upon, and the House and Mallhouse on Lot 14 may be converted into an Inn, most commodiously situate for the Accommodation of Travellers, and well adapted for Droviers of Cattle when returning from Welsh Fairs ; or the present House may at a trifling Expense be conveited into an excellent Family Re- sidence, the Land being of the best Quality. This Lot has several fine Oak and other Timber Trees upon it. The Copyhold Part of the Estate is held of the Manor of Ford otherwise Fordshome, in the County of Salop, the Fine to the Lord upon Admittance or Surrender amounting only lo the Value of one Year's Chief- Rent, w hich does not exceed Fivepence per Acre, and will be proportioned to each Lot at the Time of Sale. The Whole lies upon an excellent Turnpike Road from Shrewsbury to Welsh Pool, which runs through the Middle of the Property, and along which the Mail aud other Coaches pass daily. The Distance from Shrewsbury is 5 Miles, aud from Welsh Pool 13. The Road at the Cross Gales is about to he diverted to a greater Distance from the House, by Order of the Commissioners. For Particulars apply to Mr EGRRTON JEFPREYS, Shrewsbury, at whose Office a Map may be inspected ; or lo Mr. BI'RD, Land- Surveyor, Cardiston, who will direct a Person to shuw ihe Estate. n solitary possesses the gre;..

We are not at liberty to- day to sriy anything more upon the subject of the ministerial arrangements now indispensable, and according to the ordinary symptom* indicating the approach of such events, imminent. Befote the lapse of another week, ho- rever, we hope to be able to announce a state of affairs that will impart a degree of gratification to the country with which it has not been lately familiar. At all events we shall be at liberty* we doubt not, in the course of that, or of a very little longer period, to disclose the grounds upon which we hold out this hope: at present we must beg for patience and confidence.— Standard.

Edward Petre, to the Hon, Laura Maria Stafford Jerningham. fourth daughter tf ti\ f* Right Hon. Lord and Lady Stafford ; the ceremony having previously bren performed according to the rites of the Roman Catholic church. The extensive premises of Messrs. Jepson, hat- manufacturers, of Castle- street, Southwark, were destroyed by fire on Friday. The house and premises immediately adjoining were also burnt to the ground. The inmates of both houses escaped by the roof, though with much difficulty. The loss of Messrs. Jepson, it i* supposed, will be great; the owner of the adjoining house was fully insured. The remains of Sewell, the 41 Lincolnshire giarrt, n ( who died at Swansea on the 3d inst.) were interred at Taunton, on Monday, according to his request when on his death bed. Quick lime was thrown into the grave, to accomplish the wishes of the deceased regarding the security of his remains. A Somerset- shire dwarf, named Farnham, only 37 inches high, followed as chief mourner. The deceased was seven fV? et four inches hiufh, and weighed 37 stone, or 518lbs. The dwarf weighed 68lbs only. A short time since, as the gamekeeper upon ah extensive demesne in Worcestershire, was going his daily rounds, he discovered a magpie and a snake in deadly conflict. The latter had completely coiled itself round the feathered chatterer, and appeared to have the best of the fight; the keeper, however, did not- wait the issue of the battle, but with unerring aim laid both the combatants prostrate, and they are now being stuffed and preserved iu their hostile attitudes. EXTRAORDINARY WALNUT- TREE.— There is now growing at the Porch- House, in Eardisland, Hereford- shire, the property of J. P. Taylor, Esq. a remarkably large and flourishing walnut tree, the diameter of whose branches is 25 yards, the circumference of its trunk 12 feet, and height 66 feet. The tree is so thickly covered with fruit, that its ample limbs are unable to sustain the ponderous load, and are actually- breaking down with the weight. One small limb produced a bushel of fruit, and the whole crop may be estimated upon a very moderate calculation at least four waggon loads. This tree » adjoining the turnpike- road, has long been deservedly admired by every passing traveller, and its spreading foliage affords a welcome retreat from the fervour of the meridian sun. Many bunches of fruit contain in number, from eighteen to twenty nuts, and few less than twelve or thirteen. WRITTEN CHARACTERS: CAUTION.— A man was a few days ago sentenced at Bristol to three months* hard labour at the tread mill, for falsely representing to a gentleman of Berkeley square, Bristol, who wished to engagehim as a servant, that he had lived three years with a family at Bath, and endeavouring to impose upon him by means of a forged written character. U( binson, the bank robber, who has been con- cerned in numerous bank depredations, has been ap- prehended in Plymouth, together with four of hii gang- A disgraceful scene occurred a few day9 ago at Devizes. Mr. Green, the aeronaut, who had already once disappointed the people of that place, being unable, from an escape of gas from his balloon, on account of its unfinished state, to ascend according to promise, the mob broke in, and with knives and other instruments destroyed the balloon, which con- tained 1,500 yards of silk, and the car; and it was only through the prompt, interference of the Magis- trates that Mr. Green was saved from personal injury. Such was the fury of the enlightened people of Wilts, that, to preserve life, Mr. Green, his wife, and a friend, were compelled to secrete themselves in a dark hole until eleven o'clock at UTght. On Tuesday Mr. G. Green made his proposed balloon ascent from the yard of the gas- works, Dudley. The assemblage of persons was very numerous, and the neighbouring heights were crowd- ed with spectators The day was not very promising - 9 a strong wind blew from the south- east until late in the afternoon, so that the intended partial ascents were prevented. Shortly before seven, all being pre- pared, Mr. Green took his place in the car, and the balloon ascended amidst the shouts of the thousands assembled. After a voyage of about forty minutes duration, Mr. Green effected a safe landing in a hay field belonging to Mr. G.

Cloudless, sultry Sims are shining ; Woodland choristers are dumb : Flowers their sickly heads reclining; Labour sinks, by heat o'ercome : Still, how blest the rural peasant, Lolling on the hair- mown hay; Kings ne'er pressed a couch so pleasant— Ne'er had hearts so light and gay.

MAY 1 7TH. THE LATE EDWARD CORBET, ESQ. OF YNYS Y- MAEN CVVYN. '' Irt yonder grave your Druid lies, " Where slow ly winds the stealing wave." COLLINS. Started for Towyn, in Merionethshire, and gave a look at Pantllydw Cottage, which commands £ charming view of the Vale of Dovey, and where is growing a most magnificent yew- tree, well worth the notice of the searchers after vegetable antiquity. It is exceedingly large, and though the storms of cen- turies have tried it, it still boasts of flourishing luxuriance. Passed through the pleasant village of Penal, about which we met several lasses in their round, prim, holiday hats. ( Man. S. did not admire the hats, but thought many of the countenances beneath them fair and captivating!) Remarked some extensive falls of young oak, and regretted the proprietors permitted so sweeping a devastation: the bark is the covetted prize. If only a few trees were suffered to remain at unrqual distances, the country would not present that wretched, barren aspect, consequent upon a late and indiscriminate demolition. Turned into the new road on the Dovey side, lead- ing to the estuary of that river, where stands the Port of Aberdovey. It is a pleasing drive, somewhat similar to that from Dolgellau to Ba Month, and the tide being up, added greatly to the beauty of the picture. Were struck with the peculiarly deep yellow of the gorse blossom in this country ; as Cowper describes it: 44 The blossom'd furze, unprofitable gay." Journeying onwards through Aberdovey ( where many genteel and commodious lodging houses are in the building,) we arrived at Towyn, and from thence strolled to the long, level beach. What a fine spacious shore is this! How grand and striking is the view from hence of the distant towering height of Cader Idris, and the irregular chains of mountains extending from its vicinity down to the coast! He looks like a feudal Chief, with his subject Vassals crouching around him. The bold projection in the distance of Craig Aderyn ( Bird's Rock) gives a romantic touch to the landscape. On our return, the luxuriant foliage surrounding " Vriys- y- maen- gwyn ( a mile beyond Towyn) brought to mind its late proprietor, EDWARD CoRBfiT, Esq. a gentleman of singular eccentricity, lively wit, and keen satire : yet though Satire was his forte, and consequently be possessed a requisite portion of gull, he had an ample share of " the milk of human kind- ness." He displayed extensive charity, and splendid hospitality ; was a clever horticulturist, and a sue cessful enquirer into the mysteries of vEsculapius. The latter study was to him an amusing hobby. His private room had the appearance of an Apothecary's Shop ; for there 11 Green earthen pots, bladders, and musty seeds, " Remnants of pack- thread, and old cakes of roses, " Were thinly scattered." prom this repository he delighted in dispensing re- lief to the sick poor. He occasionally only sipped at the streams of He- licon. Had he sedulously cultivated Poetry, he would have left many competitors behind, in humorous and satiric composition, as the following specimen of his style ( which I transcribe from a copy in my pos- session) will testify. It is necessary to premise that the late Sir W. W. Wynn had private theatricals at Wynnstay, in which the Nobility and Gentry, his guests, took parts. At the usual opening of the scenic campaign, w hich w as in the winter season, a substantial reward, in the shape of a great Cheshire Cheese, was ready for the writer of the best Prologue. The competitors were numerous among the merry Thespian corps, when the EPITAPH. 11 If modest virtue, piety, and truth, 44 May claim from righteous heav'n a just reward, " Learn, learn, ye people all, both age and jouth, 14 How poor and patient . merits claim reward. 44 Here lies a man who scarcely swerv'd at alt ; 44 Whose honest heart was only known to few; " His daily labour furnish'd means hut small : " His worth too little known — his name JOHN " HUGH." I have enjoyed many agreeable hours in Mr. C.' s humorous society. The severe Churchill was his favourite author. Had he his frailties? What says Hamlet?—" Give every man his due, and who shall escape whipping?' His remains lie in Towyn church, near which flows the river Dysyni. At his decease, which happened six or seven years ago, I thus attempted to express my sorrow: ELEGY ON THE DEATH OF MR. CORBET. Scene— The Plain near Ynys- y- muen- gwyn. Time— Evening.

It is a mile from the sea, but the walk there is pleasant. There are a few good lodging- houses on the beach. Quitting it, we returned to Aberdovey, and crossed the ferry into Cardiganshire, fr:; m North into South Wales. On the broad sands on the Cardiganshire side of the ferry we walked for some distance: the horse pursued his path as he listed : I amused myself by selecting some natural curiosities; the dog rolled himself on the sands, while I stood gazing at the romantic amphitheatre of distanthills. Here, thought, I, is a picture of freedom .' Yet, on second consi- deration, there was something which did not harmo- nize with the scene: the horse was in harness.' Observing some parts of the sands covered with a white crust, 1 applied some of its particles to my tongue, and found it had a salt taste. This was evidently sea salt, left after evaporation. Is it Bishop Watson, who, in his chemical essays, speaks of pro- curing salt by suffering the sun's rays to absorb artificial and narrow pools of sea water? We loitered at Moelynys, an inn upon the sands, and found the landlord to be a Shropshire man, of the name of HOME; in whose ruddy presence we were, like Matthews, " nt home." Drove as long on the sandi as the flowing tide would permit, and actually drive in the sea, 0: 1 account of the rough shingles on the opposite side: until at last, fear of being swept by the waves com- pelled us to essay the steep barrier of round loose stones. Turning from the shore, under Borth, the mud cottages of Cardiganshire attracted attention. They have a wretched look, and the children at the dootis of many appear sickly. Reached our destination ( the abode of a brother of the Angle, and from whence we anticipated some agreeable excursions to the mountain streams) at night- fall. [ TO BE CONTINUED.] sponding size, each of them like large trees extending outwards from the parent stock, and overshadowing considerable space of ground. Of the cedars planted at the royal garden in Chelsea, in 1683, two had in 83 years acquired a circumference of a little more than 12 feet, at two feet from the ground, while their branches extended over a circular space of' 40 feet in diameter. Seven and twenty years afterwards, the trunk of one had increased more than half a foot, in circumference, which is prtibably more than most oaks of similar age would do iu an equal period. At Whitton, in Middlesex, where are still some of the finest cedars the writer has seen in England ( with the' exception of a beautiful tree at Mount Edgecumbe), a remarkable cedar was blown down in 1779. It had attained the height of 70 feet, the branches covered an area of 100 feet in diameter, the trunk was 1G feet in circumference at seven feet from the ground, and 21 feet at the insertion of the great branches, 12 feet above the surface. There were about 10 principal branches or limbs, and their aver- age circumference was 12 feet. The planting of this tree has been by some persons attributed to Queen Elizabeth. 6. NORFOLK ISLAND PINE f Arauearia Excelsia). One measured 270 feet, another 275 feet in length, by persons both of whom say they saw several 300 feet high. There is a beautiful and thriving specimen of this magnificent plant in Messrs. Loddidge's superb collection. 7. The OAK ( Quermis RobcrJ.— A11 oak- felled a few years since at Morley, in Cheshire, produced upwards of one thousand feet of measurable timber; its circumference exceeded 42 feet; age, traceable 800 years. The Crewthorpc oak, at four feet high, measured 4( i feet in circumference. The Boddington oak, in Gloucestershire, at 3 feet high, measured 42 feet. The Swilcar oak, in Derbyshire, is stated to have been a very high tree, measuring 42 feet round at its base and 33 at four feet above the ground; this tree, supposed to be 600 years old, was an inmate of Needwood Forest, whose beautiful woodland scen- ery was celebrated in an elegant unpublished poem by Mr. F. N. C. Mundy, at the end of which the following lines, addressed to Swilcar oak, written by the poet- philosopher Darwin, are published in his most ingenious and highly interesting work, entitled " Phytologia, or the Philosophy of Agriculture and Gardening :"— 44 Gigantic oak ! whose wrinkled forni hath stood, Age after aure, the patriarch of the wood ! — Thou who hast seen a thousand springs unfold Their ravel'd hods and dip their flowers in gold ; Ten thousand times yon moon relight her horn, And that bright star of evening gild the morn I — — Erst when the Druid bards with silver hair Pour'd totitld thy trunk the melody of prayer; When chiefs and heroes. join'd the kneeling throng, And choral virgins trill'd the adoring song ; While harps responsive rung amid the glade, Anil holv echoes thrill'd thy vaulted shade; Say, did such dulcet notes arrest thy gales As Mttndy pours along- the listening vales ? Gigantic oak 1— thy hoary head sublime Erewhile must perish 111 the wrecks of time; Should round thy hrow innocuous lightnings shoot And no tierce whirlwinds shake thv siedfast root • Yi- t shalt thou fall I thy leafy tresses fade, And those bare shatter'd antlers strew the ^ lade ; Arm after arm shall leave the mouldering bust, And thy firm fibres crumble into dust I— MYSTERIOUS STORY* If we. are to believe one of the enthusiasts of the i DUBLIN.

Sitting near the stage, it was amusing to notice him, 44 sans ceremonie," audibly correcting the pronunciation of the performers. 14 The Drama's laws," he would say, as an apology for his intrusion, and quoting Johnson : 44 .

Being on a visit at the house of a friend iu the neighbourhood of Ynys- y maen- gwyn, and Mr. Corbet happening to call, wc were introduced. The keen- ness of his glance, and the abruptness of his speech, struck me as peculiar. I should observe, that having been guilty of the 44 cacoethes scribendi," a mutual acquaintance had shewn Mr. Corbet a trifling produc- tion of mine. The Satirist, after some general con- versation, looked significantly, first at one of the party, then at another, and at last fixing his searching eyes upon me, enquired— Pray, may 1 ask, if it is you that writes ?" Now the thunder begins to roll! thought 1. What could 1 reply but— 44 Sir! I hare amused myself by rhyming." 44 O! very well, young man, then I uill he at you" was his quick answer. In pursuance of his promise, he coolly sent me, on the following day, a letter, containing a severe and sprightly lampoon against myself! I immediately siim. ioncd all my energy, and replied in a strain, if not equally poetical, quite as personal. To this he promptly replied, ami I as promptly returned an answer; and thus the paper- war continued, until about half a dozen shots had been exchanged. We then shook hands, as uninjured and pacified duellists would have done, and ever afterwards dwelt in unin- terrupted harmony and friendship.

Moggridyc, Esq.] Taking into view the origin and progress to matu- rity of some of our timber trees, perhaps there is no object in nature more calculated to excite wonder in the reflecting mind. That the tiny acorn, one only of thousands borne by the s: fne tree, and the still smaller seed of the fir, selected from a hundred others grown in the same cone, should contain within them- selves the germ of existence equal to that of many generations of men— the one swelling into a size millions of times larger than its parent seed— the other attaining a height which it would be ridiculous to speak of in terms of comparison with that of its bumble origin— is nothing more nor less than one of nature's standing miracles. We see it every day, it becomes familiar to our observation, and, therefore, it passes by comparatively unnoticed : it is not, how- ever, the less wonderful on that account. The following particulars of a few remarkable trees which have either come under the personal notice of the writer, or have been derived from other unexceptionable sources, will, it is hoped, not be unacceptable to the members of an institution, within whose sphere of action are included all the different branches of vegetable economy :— 1. The first tree which I shall mention is the- LAHCH CPinies LarixJ, a tree now becoming familiar to us all, though but few are at present aware of all its valuable qualities. The Larch was first introduced into the northern parts of this island, where it has been extensively cultivated, particularly on the Duke of Athol's estates, who, in a communication to the Board of Agriculture, says, that he 44 sold a larch tree, fifty years old, for twelve guineas, while a fir of the same age, and in the same situation, was not worth more than fifteen shillings." Unfortunately the dimensions of this extraordinary tree are not mentioned. That this tree, though of recent growth in Britain, was not unknown to the ancients, there is 110 question. Pliny, in bis Natural History, says, 44 the greatest tree that had ever been seen in Rome was brought there for re- building the Naumacheria; it was a larch tree, and was 120 feet in length, and two feet in diameter from the one end to the other." The French Government, a few years since, bought for the navy a number of larch trees of the Count of Soldjk, growing in the forest of Chlcwi. sk, in Poland ; each tree, 84 feet long, was, clear of the bark, three feet in diameter at the butt, and 18 inches at the small end. Twenty pairs of oxen were necessary for drawing each tree out of the forest. 2. The PLANE TREE ( I'lutanusJ.— At Salhugah, in the environs of Damascus, near the gate of one of the Pasha's Palaces, says Mr. Buckingham, is an Oriental Plane ( Platanus OrientalisJ, 1 > feet in diameter and 100 feet high. Fifteen miles above the river Muskingham, in a small island of the Ohio, is a Plane Tree f Platanus Occider. lalis J, measuring 40 feet 4 inches in circumference at 5 feet from the ground. 3. The WEYMOUTH TINE (' Vini. es StrobusJ.— Dr. Dwight mentions a White 01- Weymouth Pine, near Meredith, in the State of New York, which, having fallen down, was measured by Mr. Law, 247 feet iu length. 4- SILVERFIR(* Pinies Abies).— The section of one in the Museum of Natural History at Strasburgli, felled on the 3d June, 1816, shews it to have been 150 feet high, with a trunk perfectly straight and free from branches 50 feet, afterwards forked, one tfcm a hundred feet long, and the other rather less. At the surface of the ground its circumference was 24 feet, at 50 feet 15 feet; supposed age 350 years. 5. CEDAR of LEBANON ( Pinies Cedrus).— On Mount. Lebanon, Mr. Buckingham saw together twenty trees of a large size, several of from 30 to 3T> feet in circumference, with branches of a corre- 8. The SPANISH CIIFSNUT fFagus CastaneaJ. The largest tree reputedly in England is the Spanish chesnut at Tutworth, in Gloucestershire. Sir R. Atkins, in his History of Gloucestershire, says, 44 by tradition this tree was growing in King John's reign," and Mr Marsham ( p. 81, 1st vol. of Bath Society's Papers), calculated it to be not less than 1100 years old. The late Lord Ducie, to whom it belonged, told the writer of this, that it was mentioned in a writing of the date of King John's reign. It marks the boundary between the parishes of Cromhall and Tutworth. Sir R. Atkins makes it 57 feet, and Mr. Marsham only 46 feet fi inches in circumference; the fact is, its real circumference it is difficult to ascertain, as it has thrown up many shoots from the bottom, and is interfered with by an old wall. The Gentleman's Magazine for 1762 contains an account of a Spanish chesnut tree, then growing at Tamworth, supposed to be the oldest in England, and perhaps the largest, being 52 feet in circum- ference 44 Its period of rising from the nut," says the Editor, 41 may be fixed at the year 800, in the reign of Egbert. From that date to the reign of Stephen ( 1135) is 335 years, at which time it. was fixed on as a boundary or land mark, and called bv way of distinction the Great Chesnut Tree of Tam- worth. From 1 Stephen to 1762 was 962 years. It bore unts in 1759, from which young trees were raised." There exists much doubt whether this tree be indigenous to this country or not. Marshall, in his West of England, says, 44 The species of coppice woods, the oak, the birch, sallow, hazle, ash, chesnut, which last is found in wild recluse sanations, with every appearance of being native." The writer of this saw, in sailing up the estuary of the Tamar, and examining its banks, in Sept. 1826, in coppice woods near Pentilly Castle, both trees and stools of Spanish chesnut, as well as in the wood between the river and Cotele House, the property of Lord Mount lidge- cumbe, where were also many seedling chesnuts of various ages. There yet remains, however, much conflicting testimony on this subject. Near the Tamar, at Cotele, is a Spanish chesnut in full vigour and growth apparently 100 feet high, which measured 36 feet in circumference; so that, if not a native, it grows with all the vigour of one in the southern parts of our island. 9. CYPRI- SS Tree ( Cupressus Thyoides or Cupres- sus Disticha).— 44 In Oaxaca, one of the states iu the Mexican Republic, stands," says Mr. Ward, in his Account of Mexico, v. 2, p. 696, 44 the famous cypress tree of Santa Maria de Tale, 93^ English feet in circumference, without the slightest symp- tom of decay." 44 The C. Pisticha," says Bartram, the American botanist, 41 stands in the first order of North American trees'. Its majestic stature is sur- prising, and on approaching it we are struck with a kind of awe at beholding the stateliness of the trunk, lifting its cumbrous top towards the skies, and casting a wide shade 011 the ground, as a dark intervening cloud, which for a time excludes the rays of the sun. The delicacy of its colour and tex- ture of its leaves exceed every thing in vegetation. It generally grows in low flat lauds, near the banks of great rivers and lakes occasionally covered with water, and that part of the trunk which is liable to be under water, and four or five feet higher up, is greatly enlarged by prodigious buttresses, or pilas- ters, which in full- grown trees project out on every side to such a distance that several men might easily hide themselves in the hollows between. Each pilaster terminates under ground in a very large strong serpentine root, which strikes off and branches every way just under the surface of the earth, and from these roots grow woody cones, called cypress knees, 4, 5, and 6 feet high, and from 6 to 18 inches and 2 feet in diameter at their bases. The large ones are hollow and serve for bee- hives; a small space of the tree itself is hollow nearly as high as the buttresses. From this place, the tree, as it were, takes another beginning, forming a grand straight column, 80 or 90 feet high, when it divides every way into an extensive flat horizontal top, like an umbrella, where eagles have their secure nests, and cranes and storks their temporary resting places; and, what adds to the magnificence of their appearance, are the streamers of long ntoss that hang from the lofty limbs and float in the wind." The following story was related by General Hulon, in the winter of 1816- 7, one evening at Sir Sidney Smith's, in Paris. The general stated that be had it from Marshal Junot, Duke of Abrantes, who was governor of Paris at the time it happened, and must therefore necessarily have been well acquainted with the circumstances attending it. In the year 1805, as a poor man was returning one evening from his daily labour, he was met in an obscure street in Paris by a well dressed man. whose face he never remembered to have seen before, but who stopped him, and inquired of him to what trade he belonged On being answered that he was a mason, the man said that if lie would wall up a certain niche that would be shown to him, he should receive as his reward fifty louis d'ors. The stranger added, that be must submit to have his eyes covered, and to be carried in that state for a considerable distance. To all this the mason readily consented, partly through curiosity, and partly for the greatness of the reward for so little a work. The stranger immediately put a bandage on his eyes, and having led him by the hand for a few paces, they came to the spot where a carriage waited for them, into which they both got, and it drove rapidly off. They soon got out of Paris; at least so the mason conjectured, from the noise of the wheels going over the stones having ceased. After having proceeded thus for about two hours, the rattling of the stones returned, and they seemed to the mason to have entered another town ; shortly after which they stopped, and the mason was taken out of the carriage, and led through several passages and up a flight of stairs, till they came to a place where they heard the sound of voices. Here his eyes were uncovered and he found himself in a large room, the walls, roof, and floor of which were covered with black cloth, excepting a niche on one side, which was left open. By the side of it were found a considerable quantity of stones and mortar, together with all the tools necessary for the work upon which the mason was to be employed. There were also several men in the room whose faces were covered with masks. One of these came up to the mason, and, addressing himself to him, said, there are the fifty louis d'cjrs which were promised you; and there is only one condition to be exacted from you, which is, that you must never mention to any person what you may see or hear in this place." This the mason promised ; and at this time another man, w ho was also masked, entered the room, and demanded if all was ready. Upon being answered in the affirmative, he went out, and returned again in a few- minutes with two other men, both masked, and one of whom, from the whiteness of his hair, the mason supposed to be an old man. Those three dragged in w ith them a very beautiful young woman with bet- hair dishevelled, and her whole appearance bespeak- ing great disorder. They pushed her with great violence towards the niche, into which they at length succeeded in getting her, notwithstanding her strug- gling and resistance. During this time she never ccased alternately uttering dreadful screams, and crying for mercy in the most piteous manner. Then she got loose from her persecutors, and immediately prostrated herself at the feet of the old man, and embracing his knees, besought him to kill her at once, and not to let her suffer a cruel and lingering death ; but all in vain. When the three men had at last forced her into the niche, they held her there, and commanded the mason to commence his work, and wall her in.— Upon witnessing the dreadful scene, the mason fell on bis knees, and entreated to be per- mitted to depart, without being accessory to this act of cruelty. The men, however, told him that it was impossible. They menaced him, if he refused to perform his promise, with instant death ; whereas, 011 the other band, if he complied, they said he should receive an additional fifty louis d'ors, when he had completed his w ork. This united threat and promise had such an effect upon the mason, that he instantly did as he was commanded, and at last actually walled in the poor victim, so as to render her escape im- possible. She was then left to perish by slow degrees, without light, air, or sustenance.— When the mason bad finished, he received the fifty additional louis d'ors; his eyes were again covered; he was led through various passages as 011 his arrival ; and finally led to the carriage, which drove off rapidly as before. When he was again taken out of it, his eyes were uncovered, and he found himself standing 011 the exact spot in Paris where he had first met the stranger. The same man now stood beside him, and addressing him, desired him not to stir from the place where he then was for five minutes, after which he was at liberty to return home ; adding, that he was a dead man if he moved before the time prescribed. He then left him ; and the mason having waited the five minutes, proceeded strait to the police officers, to whom he told his story ; they considered the circumstance so curious, that they carried him immediately to the Duke of Abrantes. The Duke at first imagined his account to be an invention ; but upon his producing the purse containing the hundred louis d'ors, be was compelled to believe it. The strictest search was immediately made in and about Paris, for the discovery of the perpetrators of this horrid murder, but in vain. The Emperor Napoleon particularly interested himself in it, and special orders were issued by him to the officers of the police, to leave no means untried to attain their object. Many- houses were searched, in the hope of finding some place which had lately been walled up, and which answered to the account given by the mason ; but notwithstanding all these endeavours, nothing further has yet transpired respecting this dreadful mystery.— Court.

It is confidently asserted in the medical circles, that the Marquis of Douro is about to share his rank and fortune w ith the accomplished daughter of an eminent son of jEsculapius, who was the private and confi- dential attendant of the Duke of Wellington during the whole of the Peninsular war. The fair enchant- ress, Miss Hume, has for several years been a frequent visitor at Apsley House, and during these occasions the attachment was formed. The noble premier is said to have given his consent, provided his son shall have the same matrimonial inclination at the end of two years, and more than one year of the term of probation has already expired.— Morning Paper. The Amazon, the great river of Peru, is the most extraordinary stream in the known world. From its rise in the Lake Huonuco to its termination in the Pacific Ocean, its length is not less than one- fifth of the earth's circumference. At least 200 rivers con- tribute to swell its waters, which, at its confluence with the sea, extends its mouth to a breadth of 180 miles, depriving the ocean of its saltness to a distance of 400 miles. ISliscellaneous Intelligent*. There is at present a flower in the hot- bed of J. Milford, Esq. of this city, a fine specimen of the plaintain ( musa paradisiaca). This valuable exotie> which we believe never before fruited in the West of England, may justly be considered as at) object of curiosity, and the naturalist, without the trouble of crossing- the Atlantic, may form a good idea of the wonderful luxuriance of tropical vegetation, as few plants, even in the most favoured climates present a more magnificent appearance. The plain, tain grows in the hot regions, both of the old and new world, and is particularly abundant in the East and West Indies, where its fruits may be called the staff' of life, supplying the place of bread to the natives.— This valuable plant, which attains height of 50 feet and upwards, has a soft herbaceous stalk, and the splendid leaves are beautifully pencilled and entirely surround the summit.— In its native climate the spike of fruit is said sometimes to weigh 40 pounds; the present weighs about 25 pounds, and is covered with a long spatha or sheath, from which exudes a quantity of saccharine juice T he following are its dimensions, 44 height, 20 feel circumference at the base of the stein, 24 inches, leaves from 4 to 10 feet long."— The growth of the plant is so rapid that it shoots several inches in the course of a day.— The bunches of flowers have a bold appearance rising in the middle of the leaves, and reclining on one side.— On their expansion the sheath, which is of a brilliant purple colour, drops off. The fruit is 110 sootier ripe than the parent stock decays, and is succeeded by its progeny, con- sisting of numerous suckers, which readily strike root and are easily cultivated in a stove, provided there be sufficient head room. The plant we are attempting to describe grows in a tub, and was only two feet high when received from a gentleman in Hampshire about three years since. It showed flower early iu the present month, and will probably ripen its fruit, which are now four inches long, by the end of September; fifty fruit are already swelling off, and the pod is only half expanded — Western Luminary. Some misconstruction having arisen respecting the Mutiny Act, which relates to the billetting of soldiers, the following opinion of the Government law officers has been published by authority :— 44 Persons whom soldiers are billetted are not to provide, but are bound to receive them into their houses. The Act alluded to states, 4 afford,' and not 4 provide,' which is 61st sec. present year, 1829, and 63d sec. year 1828. An important change is likely to take place in the dinner hour of the ben- ton. His Majesty now dines every day exactly at four, then takes an airing in his phaeton, and devotes the remainder of the evening to music and cheerful conversation. His Majesty says that, by this regulation, he creates a new day", and regrets that he had not adopted it many years ago. y recently a French alchymist sent to the Academy of Sciences a phial containing, not gold certainly, but something approaching towards it ( according to his own account), and with it a letter, in which the alchymist stated, that, in order to complete the metamorphosis of the liquid into pure gold, he required only a small sum of money by way of encouragement. M. Gay Lnssac, who was charged by the academy to report on the memo- rial, has proposed to it to return to the author his manuscripts and his phial, but without any pecuniary encouragement. According to the Bev. Edward Irving we are now close upon the grand Millenium; and Messrs. Cob- bett ami Hunt have put forth a Delaration, an- nouncing an approaching struggle between the Land and the Funds, which must end in the total ruin of the landowners or in Parliamentary Reform.— The parties are, probably, upon a par as regards the gift of prophecy. The Quarter Sessions for the county commenced on Tuesday last, and it affords us sincere pleasure to state that there is not a single case sent for trial from Cheltenham. Such a circumstance has not occurred for many years, and when we reflect that the inhabit- ants have increased to 24,000, we think it augurs favourably for the improved moral character of our fellow townsmen, while great praise is due to our excellent bench of magistrates and the efficient regu- lations of the police. — Cheltenham Chronicle. LIGHTNINC CONDUCTORS.— Some startling facts have been represented to the government, by Lieut. Pringle Green, relative to the effects of lightning conductors, and various electrical experiments have been tried, tending to show that these conducting rods are highly dangerous, and, contrary to the general belief, are perfectly useless as to the means of preserving buildings from the effects of the electric fluid. It is said that the Navy Board have it in contemplation to abolish the practice of fixing lightning conductors to his Majesty's ships, and to the government buildings; but in this stage of the business nothing, we believe, is positively decided on.— Devonport Telegraph. TOLLS, & e. IN PUBLIC MARKETS.— All charges for standings in public markets are quite illegal, as the market must be open to every person to come and sell without payment of any thing. All persons so charged may, therefore, resist the impost, may indict the owner of the market for extortion, and recover back double what they have paid, nay, more, if the owner of the market builds more stalls or sheds that there is not sufficient room for the people to stand and sell their goods, and so they shall be compelled to use a stall, and the owner shall charge for such stall, the owner of the market is in such case liable to be indicted for extortion. This is clearly illustrated by the following case:— 44 Information against Burdett, farmer of Newgate market, for extortion, in taking divers sums of the market people for rent, for the use of the little stalls in the markets, and divers great sums for fines, and was found guilty. It was held by the Court, B. R. and by Holt, Ch. J. at Guildhall, that if the defendant erect several stalls, and does not lenre sufficient room for the market people to stand and sell their rvares, so that for want of room they are forced to hire the stalls of the defendant, the taking of money for the use of the stalls in such cases is extortion; but if the people have room enough clear to themselves to come and sell their wares, but for their further convenience they volun- tarily hire these stalls of the defendant, without any necessity compelling them, there it is no ex- tortion, though the defendant takes a fine and rent for the use of thent. The law has not appointed any stalls for the market people, but only that they shall have the liberty of the market, which the defendant does not abridge, having left them room enough, besides the place where the stalls are set, and then, if they w ill enjoy the convenience of the stalls, they must comply with the defendant's terms. -— Lord Ray. Rep. 148, 149, Hill, 8 and 9, W. 3. MANSION HOUSE— EXTRAORDINARY SPECULA TION.— Madame Maria Lambert, an aged French woman, dressed in long black robes, and of a very mysterious and melancholy appearance, was brought before the Lord Mayor— The Officer stated, that he found Maria Lambert sitting on the steps of a hall- door iu Finsbury- square. A crowd of persons were gating at her, but she was quite indifferent to their curiosity, and sat absorbed in the deepest abstraction.—- His Lordship was surprised at hearing her state that her occupation was that of rat- killing and bug- destroying. She had, she said, just come over from Paris, upon the advice of some English ladies, who told her that rats and bugs and other vermin abounded in London, and that any oue who knew how to banish thetn would. obtain a respecta- ble livelihood. She accordingly knocked at several doors, but they did not understand her language at any one house at which she called ; and, being- possessed of no more than one shilling and three- pence, she sat down to think how she could get back again.— The Lord Mayor said he lamented to hear that any English woman would be guilty of so cruel a joke as that of sending a poor old woman on such an embassy.— Madame Lambert said that, perhaps, his Lordship might have some business of the kind ; she being ready to kill all sorts of vermin. Laughter.)— The Lord Mayor said that the ver- min alluded to 110 doubt abounded in Loudon, but he apprehended that even that trade was over- stocked. The poor old woman shed tears at finding that her professional labours would not be likely to be demanded in this city. Bugs, it appears, have disappeared from the Mansion House ever since Alderman Garratt ordered the old state bed stead to be pulled down; and as for the rats they were frightened away in the memorable mayoralty ofAlderman Christopher Smith, when their wretched condition was accuratcly described by a paragraph writer of the day, who said that the last rat was found sitting in the kitchen grate with tears in its eyes!— Mr. Hobler said, that, perhaps, the latter vermin might have fixed their quarters in West- minster.—( Laughter.)— His Lordship gave the poor rat- killer some silver, and sent her to the Compter, until an opportunity should offer of sending her to her old quarters. BUILDING SPECULATIONS.— Many respectable individuals of small capitals have lately formed building companies, for the erection of small houses and cottages in the environs of the metropolis. There are not fewer than five of these companies already formed, and the number of habitations they have erected in all directions round London is very great. One company, called the Union Building Society, has erected not less than two hundred small houses in the vicinity of Bethnal Green. The 44 Friendly Building Society," and 44 Amicable Building Society," have also erected great numbers in different directions. The houses erected by the companies are mostly adapted to the working classes, containing from two to six rooms, and arc let at rents varying from 3s. to 8s. a week. In many instances the speculation has proved successful; but in others disagreements have arisen amongst the members, which have led to the dissolution of the company. Many individuals are also speculating in building small houses for sale, which are sometimes sold at Garraway's or the mart by hundreds in a day. Upwards of two hundred such houses were brought to the hammer last week. Such houses, being generally built in the slightest manner, are said by the knowing ones to be 44 built to stand till they are knocked down." This reminds us of an article in the paper of a celebrated watering place, stating that44 several new- built houses had last week fallen down of their own accord." It is ascer- tained, that not less than 100,000 houses have been built, within seven miles of London, during the last ten years ; and if the building rage continues un abated, there can be little doubt that a still greater number will be added to our overgrown metropolis within the ensuing ten years. One advantage arising from this multiplication of small sized bouses is, that a large portion of the working classes are enabled to have 44 a little house to themselves," always an object of desire, as a cottage of four rooms, with a little garden, can be obtained, in many situations, not too distant for the business of the occupant, at the same rent that should be paid for a single room in many of the most confined situations of the metropolis. Many thousand acres in the neighbourhood of London, which ten years ago were under market- garden cul- tivation, are now covered with bricks, and land con- tinues to be taken on building leases in all directions. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London and Winchester, have lately granted building leases to a great extent on their property near London ; and new squares, terraces, crescents, & c. & c. are still to add to the extent of the metropolis, and the re- venues of the church. Already Mother Shipton's prophecy, that 44 St. Pancras' Church would come to the midd'e of London," appears to be fulfilled. PROCLAMATION. NORTHUMBERLAND— Whereas, in certain coun- ties ofthis part of the United Kingdom, meetings of large numbers of his Majesty's subjects have lately been held for the avowed purpose of commemorating political events, or the manifestation of particular opinions, political or religious ; as also for the pur- pose of resisting, by violent means, such commemor- a ations or manifestations, to the great danger of the public peace, and the well- founded terror and dread of his Majesty's peaceable and well- disposed sub- jects; And whereas such meetings have, in recent in- stances, been attended with loss of life to some, and personal injury to others attending them ; And whereas we have reason to apprehend the recurrence of such large assemblies; And whereas many well- affected but unwary in- dividuals may be seduced by divers pretences to at- tend the same: We, therefore, the Lord Lieutenant and Council, being resolved to put down and sup- press such meetings, and to prevent the recurrence thereof, have thought fit to issue this Proclamation, solemnly and strictly warning all his Majesty's liege subjects from henceforth to discontinue those assemblages, either for the parpose of assisting in such meetings and assemblages as aforesaid, or for illegally resisting the same; and do charge and ex- hort them to the utmost of their power to effect the discontinuance of all such meetings and assem- blages, and thereby to prevent the danger and mischief consequent on the satne. And, being determined strictly to enforce the law, and the penalties thereof, against persons offending in these premises, do charge and command all Sheriffs, Mayors, Justices of the Peace, and all Magistrates, Officers, and others whom it may concern, to be. aiding and assisting in the execution of the law, and preventing snch meetings and assemblies from being held, and in the effectual dispersion and sup- pression of the same; and in the prosecution of those who shall offend in the respects aforesaid.

The following true and sarcastic sketch is in Blackwood of the present month :— 44 Tic/ tier.— Brigbthelmstone, when I knew it, was a pleasant fishing village—. what it is like now, I know not.; but what I detest in the great folks of your time is that insane selfishness which makes them prefer ail y place, however abominable, where they can herd together in their little exquisite coteries, to the noblest domains, where they cannot exist without being more or less exposed to ( lie company of people not exactly belonging to their own particular sect. How can society haug together long in a country where the Corinthian capital takes so much pains to unrift itself from the pillar ? Now- a- days, sir, your great lord, commonly speaking, spends but a month or six weeks in his anccstral abode ; and even when be is there, he surrounds himself stupidly with a cursed town- crew, a pack of St. James's street fops, and Mayfair chatterers and intriguers, who give themselves airs enough to turn the stomachs of the plain squirearchy and their womankind, and render a visit to the castle a perfect nuisance. # * They seem to spare no pains to show that they consider the country as valuable merely for rent and game— the duties of the magistrates are a bore— county meetings are a bore— a farce, I believe, was the word— the assizes are a cursed bore^- fox- bunting itself is a bore, unless in Leicestershire, where the noble sportsmen, from all the winds of heaven, cluster together, and think with ineffable contempt of the old- fashioned chase, in which the great man is mingled with gentle and simple, and all comers— sporting is a bore, unless in a regular battue, when a dozen lordlings murder pheasants by the thousand, without hearing the cock of one unpatrician fowling piece— except, indeed, some dandy poet, or philo- sopher, or punster, has been admitted to make sport for the Philistines. In short, every thing is a bore that brings the dons into personal collision of any kind with people that don't belong to the world." 0 ANECDOTE OF MR. SIIELTON ( lately deceased). — It was my good fortune, when I first was called to the Bar, to become acquainted with Mr. Thomas Shelton, the Clerk of Arraigns at the Old Bailey, a situation which would sour the mind almost of any man. He is now 70 years of age. He was always very intelligent, very opulent, and was one of the kindest of living beings. It has been a habit of mine, for some time past ( and 1 am now writing on the 24th of September, lb24), to dine upon a Satur- day, on my return from the city, at Dolly's Chop- house. Here, about a month ago, I met my friend Shelton. We dined together. In the course of conversation, knowing his laborious occupations, and tlje dreary place in which he lives ( for his office is in Newgate, just over the scaffold where the offenders are executed), and knowing his opu- lence, and it being a very heavenly day, 1 said— 44Shelton, where do you go this summer?" 44 Go?" said he, 44 I never go out of London; where can I be happier? I have not been out of Loudon for 20 years, unless you call the Park out of London, for I was in the Park about 16 years ago; and as 1 am told there is a very nice place called the Regent's Park, 1 intend to see it this summer." 44 Over a Popish altar at Worms," says Burnet, there is a picture, invented, one would think, to ridicule transuhstantiation. There is a windmill, and the Virgin Mary throws Christ into the hopper, and he comes out at the eye of the mill all in wafers, which a Priest takes up to give the people." THE GIRAFFE AND UNICORN.— Mr. Edward Ruppell, who has resided during six successive years in the north- eastern regions of Africa, lias published several numbers ot a work illustrative of the natural history of these regions. To our knowledge of the giraffe he lias added considerably. He obtained in Nubia and Kordofan five specimens, two of which were males and three females. He regards the horns as constituting the principal generic character, they being formed by distinct bones, united to the frontal and parietal bones by a very obvious suture, and hai ing throughout the same structure with the other bones. In both sexes one of these abnormal bones is situated on each branch of the coronal suture, and the male possesses an additional one placed more anteriorly, and occupying the middle of the frontal suture. The anomalous position of this appendage furnishes a complete refutation of the theory of Camper with regard to the unicorn, thatrsuch an occurrence was contrary to nature, and proves at least the possibility of the existence of such an animal. M. Ruppell also obtained some information in Kor- dofan respecting this much- debated animal. It was stated to be of the size of a small horse, of the slender make of the gazelle, and furnished with a long, straight, slender horn in the male, which was wanting in the female. According to the statements made by various persons it inhabits the deserts to the south of Koplofan, is uncommonly fleet, and comes only occasionally to the Koldagi Heive mountain on the borders of Kordofan.— Edinburgh New Philosophi- cal Journal.
