SALOPIAN JOURNAL, AN ® ) COURIER OF WALTER, THE PUBLIC PRESS. Persons that have been accustomed to read news- papers, are yware thai an evening paper is published in London under the title of The Courie/ i This Paper has been for sortie years, and still is, considered one of the organs of ( he Government by many people: if it really be in the continence of those in power, we may venture to surmise, t) iat the affairs of the Ministry arc iti a very precariorts State: for on Saturday last this same Cornier published a leading article, of whidi the following is a Copy : " There is a general expressloii ol' indignation at the system of calumny hy which ihe characters of fmhtic inln have of laie been assailed — for no oilier catfse than that they have persevered, and have suc- ceeded, ill Ihe performance of their public duty. But, whatever may be the couieuipl justly due to the mo- tives and the conduct of the abettors of this system, and of their venal agents, we are confident that their malignant efi'orts will serve to raise, rather than lo depreciate, in the . public estimation, tlmse Ministers who have been the object of such paltry revenge 41 We know. no . heller lest of the meiit of a public man than the characters and principles of lhi* se who defame liini, and no safer toad to just a'ttd lasting popularity than the hatred and abuse of vulgar fanatics in politics, or in religion. " Now, who arc Ihe parlies, and who are the men l> y whom the present Ministers are assailed ? The Ultras of every faction— the hot- headed, ignorant, foolish men who have, perhaps conscientiously, espoused extreme opinions, and who would, if they, had ability and power equal lo their fatuity, prac- tically enforce those opinions al ihe hazard of any sacrifices. " We cunuot conceive a prouder vindication of the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel, than the hare lAeution of their assailants. It will dispense with the freeessny of all panegyric merely to enumerate lliilse viio are the molt violently opposed to the course which they have pursued, and who labour under the gross mistake that they are injuring those Ministers by declaring themselves their enemies. ?, " It is but just to separate the holiest ant} respect- able from those of n very different description We put aside, with great personal esleem, the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Wiuchilsea, Lord Kenyan, inaitv old Clergymen, particularly ill the Principality of Wales, and ' several Dowagers of high rank, who liedizeu themselves with Orange Ribbons, and wear large brooches and rings iu honour of King William. '' VVe firmly believe that Iheir apprehensions of the encroachments of Popery, and of the wicked assnulis of Papists, are sinceie. We do not participate in litem — but we respect ( heir hunest, though we think mistaken, alarms. " But for the other*, let u's only tiaute them lo do honour to t'hose w'Tioiu they malign. There is quite as much trrfth in ( he remark, n'otcitn; ab hustibus, as iu the mote trill o'tie, nnscitur a soci'is. " What must have heetl the services of ihose Minis- ters who hnve provoked the rudigutilloir of li/ ack. icoaWs Magazine, of the Morning Journalof the fdililhur of the Standard ( its he is facetiously called liv his contemporary), of. Mr. Molloy Weslmncott of Ihe Age ; and who, al the same moment, have found no favour iu the eyes of Cobbelt, of Daniel O'Conuell, of llenry Hiiul ( lite manufacturer of blacking}, Cock- ney Hunt of the Examiner, and old J< jejny Beuthain. The dnuhte and almost iucumpatibte honour of earning the abuse of these men, has been reserved for the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel. Lnng may they enjoy it! Long may they live to defeat lite designs of Ultras of all parties v of the old women in politics, who are too limid In attempt any thing; and of pert presuming Radical's, who art1 wicked enough and fo ihsh enough lo nltempt to overturn every tiling '." Some of the readers- of t'he Courier must have been surprised on perusing the above : and that tbe ground of their astonishment may be accurately known to the piiblic iu our own district,' we copy the following remarks from ( he same Paper of the 10th of March last: merely premising, that the principal reason wliv any of the parlies above- mentioned, ( he " Radi- cals" only excepted, have fallen under the censure of the Courier, is, because they still adhere to the principles and opinions as to the Roman Catholic Question that ( hey held on that day in March on w hich the Courier itself put forth, in reference to tile Roman Catholic Relief Bill then pending, the ob- servations u hicli we now subjoin: " Let us pause a moment to contemplate the fabric of this sweeping concession. When it was vaguely understood that some plan for ( he removal of Catholic disabilities was in contemplation, was there a single man iu the empire, out of the Cabinet, who expected such a plan?' When we were told that every precnu iron « nnlil ( re taken for the protecliorr " f \ li.• F. « i., l,. 1 inlied Church, was it imagined that the Established Church was to he so protected ? When the King, in his speech, recommended it to Parliament ' lo consi- der whether Ihe removal of lliese disabilities can be effected consistently with the full and permanent security of our establishment iu Church and State, with the maintenance of the Reformed Religion established by law, and of the rights and privileges of Ihe Bishops and of the Clergy of the realm, and of the Churches committed to their care/ — was it sup- posed that this was the plan which had been offered for his Majesty's sanction ? Had lint the profouudest secrecy been observed — had the ' features of it been developed before the meeting of Parliament— tlie Chancellor must have trnddeu upon the petitions of the people before he could have reached the Woolsack. " What is lo be w ithheld from ihe Catholics ? They may not he Lord Chancellor— not because the Chun, cellor is a Judge, but because lie is keeper of tbe King's conscience. But what more access has the Chancellor to Ihe King than uny other Privy Coun- cillor ? They may be Pri vy Councillors— Comuutnders- in. Chief of the Army— Admirals of the Fleet— First Lords of the Treasury and Lords of the Admiralty — Lords President of the Council — Privy Seal— Secreta- ries of Slate for the Foreign, Home, and Colonial Departments— Secretaries at War— Master General of the Ordnance— Vioe- Cliiiticellor— Masters of the Rolls — Judges— nntl, most important of all, tlicy may he Peers of 1' Arliament and Members of the House of Commons without limitation ns lo number. The King may create Catholic Peers— all the Members Tor Ire- land nmv be Catholics— aye, mid many of ihe Members for ( jrent Britain.— And Ihe Proleslants ! What do they reserve ? One place only— the Lord Chan- cel for. " For as to the Lords Lieutenant of Ireland, it impossible but that under this new plan they must be affected uud influenced by Ihe politics and principles of Ireland, of which they are the Governors. 11 We come not* to Ihe question of Protestant equi. valeuts a lid Protestant securities. All bargains, all compacts, must have reciprocal advantages. That which is suirendered is surrendered for some equiva- lent. What are they ? Where are they ? " Equivalents I . . " Securities! __ " We have left the lines iu blank — there are no securities ; we tire no( trifling with our readers. Lei them try to find them- we cannot. ' 1 have none,' says Mr. Peel, fairly and frankly. ' My great Se- curity is iu the attachment of the people lo Ihe Protestant faith, an attachment exemplified ill the numerous petitions which have poured iu upon Ihe . House.' " D is nol Ihe Catholic then that gives security to Ihe Protestant : — it is the Protestant who is to furnish securities for the Catholic. Such is ihe security we have fur out1 securities. " Is this the arrangement that was proclaimed in limine to be one wh ich Mils'to he so satisfactory to the empire ? Will it even be satisfactory to llie Irish people, whose situation rendered a ' tranquillizing ndi'i. iment imperatively necessary? How does it a. 1 eel them ? Ilow does it touch Ihein ? What benefit dues it confer upon Ihein? Wlial improvement does ii make in their lilion ? Will it add one solitary potuloe lo their meals— or a grnin of salt? Will it make two blades of gross grow where one only grew before — or rather will ii make thai one shoot with greater vigour? How does il stimulate the arm of industry? Ilnw dues it afford additional encourage, inenl to a single manufacture or article of ( rude ? Will it make the barren fruitful, or bring a single boo or waste land into cultivation ? Does it hold out auy greater teuipitciou lo ihe landlords lo he resilient, or rather by opening to the aristocracy and gentry new . sources for the gratification of ambition, is it not likely to itierease rather than diminish the list of absentees ? — Whether it he from Ihe ohiuseness of our intellect, and not being illuminated by these new lights, we know not ; hut we confess ihnt we cannot see in ii the menus of beiiering ihe condition of the Irish population — Il has satisfied, however, the English Catholics, who are a small body when compared with the Irish C » lholies, ailtl jilave little or no connection with Ireland — If it has not satisfied, and cannot satisfy, Great Britain, nor Ihe Irish people, will ii even tbe agitator* of the Catholic Association ? We see even thus early that some of iliem have already recommended it lobe niei by the Irish people » Uh n m- risure of revenge against England ! But the Parliament may puss it nevertheless"— and will thus nrui ihe agitators, discontented with il from Ihe beginning, w iih fresh powers lo agitate and to acquire whiil is withheld from them. Encroachment will grow upon encroachment, arid demand upon demand. We have considered anil re- considered Ihe whole newspaper, the two articles that we . have quoled- If Hunt w ere bedaubed from tbe cfoShi of his head to the sole of his foot with his own blacking, he would still be as " unsunned snow" when contrasted with such individuals! For such persons to talk of " old women iu politics," of " Ultras,' and of " Radi- cals!" why the very inmost soul of every honest man must sicken to read any accusation preferred from sucb a quarter. Olt of their own mouths the}: stand convicted of the basest, the most Utterly odious political dishonesty, that ever disgraced tbe Press; and if,- as ( hey say, " there is no better test of the fnc- rit of a public man than the characters and PRINCIPLES of those who defame him," we may surely use a similar comparison, and say, there is no better test of ( he merit of a public man ( hall the characters and pttiNCin. Es of those who praise him. Be it so : and then Heaven help the Ministers that have earned Ihe praise of the Courier.' IIy the by, it will be perceived that Ihe Courier has ventured ( o include Blackwood in his proscribed list: and we are ratliei' anxious to see Ihe corrective that, we doubt not, old Ebony is already preparing for his degraded and reckless assailant.

At four o'clock the company sat down to dinner in the large tent, and resumed shoaling at half- past five. After tea, dancing commenced in the magnificent lent, where a floor was laid, and the interior tastefully decorated with variegated lamps; the company did not separate until a late hour, delighted with the truly hospitable attentions of their noble hosts.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. Sin,— I hope you will not deem it att intrusion upon your time, if I beg your attention, for a few minutes, to what is considered a public nuisance by the majority of the inhabitants of Shrewsbury.— I mean the congregating, at this season o£ the year, of such a number of labouring men on the Bablmlh- day at the bottom of Pride- hill. That su(; h a nuisance should lie allowed, and even encouraged, excites no small degree of astonishment, and that it is encouraged is a fact, no less true than disgraceful.— Now, Sir, I should be happy to know if there are not any means of proceeding so as effectually to put'an end to it ? Could not Ihe Magistrates, in the exercise of their legal authority, do so essential a service to the town ? And would it not be highly praiseworthy oh; their part to prohibit the assemblage of such a number of men in the very centre of the town, and in so great a thoroughfare ? How much better woujd it be if, by any means, they could be induced to attend some place of worship, instead of idly lounging the whole of t he Sunday in the street, and obstructing the passage of every individual who goes that way.— My hope is, in unison with many others, that something may be done to prevent its recurl- cnce in any succeeding year: and should any person who has ( lie power lie induced to make an experiment for the above purpose, from the observations which I have made iu this letter, a pleasing satisfaction will be afforded to myself in the reflection, that my humble endeavours have been so far effectual I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, AN INHABITANT OF SHREWSBURY. High- Street, Aug. 10, 1829. BISHOP'S CASTLE RACES, 1829. SIR,— Much as I would wish to persuade myself that the . public authorities are earnestly engaged in checking tbe progress of immorality and vice, and anxiously striving to raise our town to that height of good order and exemplary conduct which, from its sitnation and importance, as a county town, we have a right to pxpect, 1 at once meet with an obstacle, which brings me to a very opposite con- clusion— as 1 behold the Sabbath- Day so awfully profaned with impunity at the return of this season of the year. It seems almost unnecessary to mention, for it is a fact well known to every inhabitant, the system of hiring harvest- men, for which purpose, to the scandal anil offence of every one, the Sunday is devoted. These persons begin to flock together as early as ten o'clock in the morning, continuing to encrease, until their number becomes so vast, as that i thoroughfare can with difticulty be made, and even this at the expense of hearing sonic dreadful oath, or other indecent language. But all docs nol end here. The public- houses are presently filled, and early in the evening the street becomes a mass of confusion and drunkenness. In confirmation of this, I need re fer you, Mr. Editor, ( o a no more distant period ( ban last Sunday afternoon, when persons on ( heir way to church, owing to the riot and fighting of these" labourers, which rendered a passage through them not only disgusting, but. dangerous, were obliged to take another palh. Here needs no comment, the fact is sufficient. Now, Sir, ought these things to be ? Whoever, be- ing in power, overlooks this crying evil, is he dis- charging his duty to God and ( o his neighbour ? But, independent of the profanation of the Sabbath, the thing is altogether unnecessary, for it is customary among a majority of tbe farmers to continue to em ploy for several years the same reapers ( at least as long as ( bey behave well), who are under the hiring of one man, and brought bv him to the place of their labour. And, therefore, as to such, their meeting in the town is only to lounge and dissipate the- time which may be spent, in the family of their employer, and not among the idle and disorderly collected from all parts. Even if this were not ( he case, w hy is the Sabbath ( o be given up to a work which might and ought to be performed on any other day of the week? Why are the feelings of the peaceable and the reli- gious to be disturbed? Why are they to be insulted and driven out of their way as ( hey proceed to the Worship of their God ? Let it not be said that these meetings cannot be suppressed. The law provides, and wisely provides, and would ( hat. it were as wisely followed, that any man who absents himself from ( he church on the Lord's Day shall be liable to a fine. But should this enactment seem loo severe for these days of- liberty and religious toleration, take the other course' of levying the penalty for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The reasonableness and pro- priety of abolishing a system so hostile to the sanctity of the Sabbath, will not surely be disputed or opposed by those who now hire their labourers on this day, when it is considered that they would themselves then have the time to perform their sacred duties, and have more reason fo expect a blessing upon their crops from the Lord of the harvest, whose service they have neither abused nor neglected by mercenary and worldly cares. Let, however, the attempt be made with honesty and disinterestedness, and let us hope that those to whom the responsibility belongs, will for the future guard against the recurrence of similar intemperate scenes, by firm and decisive mea- sures, and let us know ( hat possessing a civil authority we possess the substance, not the shadow, the spirit, and not the form. I remain, Mr. Editor, your humble servant, T. August llth, 1829. o A Court for the relief of Insolvent Debtors was held in the Town Hall, Shrewsbury, on Saturday last, before H. R. Reynolds, Esq. when Thomas Skerratt, Thomas James, Thomas Danily, Vincent Rodenhurst, Benjamin Tytlie, William Brady, Thomas Fell, James Hawkes, Richard Maitiwaring, Richard Whitfield, Randolph Morris, and John Nevett, appeared fo be heard on ( heir sevtral petitions.— The result was, that the case of Thomas Skerratt was adjourned until ( he next Court, and in the mean time he is to amend his schedule; Thomas James, opposed on the ground of undue preference, was directed to pay £ 08 into Court before he should be discharged ; Thomas Danily was remanded until the opinion of the Court above could be taken as to his case ; antl the others were all ordered to be discharged forthwith. The step taken by Mr. Sheil, in accepting ( he fee of 300 guineas from Lord George Beresford, appears to have been considered a false one, even by his brother agitators. At Ihe dinner given in Ennis on ( he evening of the election, at which " the Member for Clare" presided, in the usual routine of ( oasts, the " health of Mr. Sheil"— whether coupled with his triumph on Pennendeti Heath, or his anticipated success in Louth, we cannot tell— was drank. A pause followed, in expectation that some person present would have returned thanks for the absent hero. The pause was prolonged to an ominous length, when some one called on the Member's brother- in- law, Mr. Finn, of Carlow, to acknowledge the compliment. " Brevity is the soul of wit," and Mr. Finn seemed fo think so, as he merely remarked, " / hare nothing to say for Mr. Sheil," and passed on the matutytils. The 53d ( Shropshire, Regiment, now stationed at Birr, is under orders for Gibraltar. The Stockport turn- out, we arc happy to say, is entirely at an end, ( he Committee having been dis- solved on Saturday last. Joseph Piatt, of Oldham, auctioneer, was, on Wed- nesday last, convicted in the penalty of £ 20, for selling goods by auction without giving the regular notice to the excise. The Annual Meeting of the Shropshire and Shrews" ' bury Auxiliary Society for the Irish Sunday Schools' which we announced in our last Paper, is unavoidably postponed. We shall give due notice when the day is fixed. THE HARVEST.— The weather of Monday and yesterday being favourable, the harvest is rapidly progressing in this vicinity. The Commission of Assize was opened at Staflbrd by Mr. Baron Vaughan, on Thursday, when there were about 70 prisoners for trial, and 30 causes at Nisi Prius — Mr. Serjeant Ludlow presided in the Crown Court. The Commission of Assize will be opened in Shrewsbury this evening. The following have been added to the Calendar since our last publication :— William Harris, charged with having stolen, at Bridgnorth, three sovereigns, six half- crowns, and two shillings, tlie pro- perty of John Allen. Ann Car; charged with having stolen from the dwelling bouse of John Cluttou, at Astley Abbotts, three silver tea spoons. Robert Popprl, charged with the manslaughter of Richard F. vans, at Bishop's Castle. There are 29 prisoners now in the calendar for trial. On Saturday morning the neighbourhood of Hol- born, London, was thrown into a slate of great con- sternation by a dreadful case of murder and suicide. A Mrs. Bradley, wife of ( he landlord of ( he Bull Tap in that street, destroyed herself by cutting her throat, having first put an entl, in a similar manner, to one of her children, an infant three months old. She had of late occasionally been in a desponding way. The deceased left a note on the bible of her room, stating that no one but herself was to blame. She has left two other children.

FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. Journal of a Fishing Excursion into Wales TAKKN IN THE MONTH OF MAY, 1S29. MAY 20TH. CARDIGANSHIRE KILLS. 11 O'er mountain* and bure." moorlands, rude, barren, and CUNNINGHAM. A party of four mounted their horses early, with an intention of resorting nearly to the source of the fthyddol, and each carried abundant provisions in his fishing basket, the intention being fo spend the day among the unfrequented hills of Cardiganshire. Trotting along the narrow, stony roads, and over the spreading swards, we at Fength reached the interior; when a tine breeze springing up, induced us to abandon our intention of fishing in the Rhyddol, and to resolve to try our fortune in a Lake six milts further among the mountains. Thither we inclined, villi a shepherd, whom P. called in Welsh " Bui/ ail" hut which wc corrupted into Beagle ( a small hound), for our guide across the boggy deserts. " The Braillethough lie did not belong to the species, ran alongside with canine nimbleiiess. In persever- ance he might have challenged a Barclay, and ill speed he would doubtless have excelled. Before, however, he joined us, an accident occurred to one of the party, whose horse suddenly sunk into a bog. The rider slipped off as speedily as possible, leaving the astonished animal sitting on his haunches, like a dog at a tire- side. It was impossible to avoid joining in a laughing chorus, in which the steed introduced a snorting stake, which was probably the proper « horse laugh V He appeared ludicrously rating, and little concerned; but a pluck by the reins induced him to plunge, until' he trod the firm land uninjured. Tt. is asserted by some, that in boggy districts where rushes appear there is 110 danger: but this is a mis- take, for rushes grow in the most treacherous places. Some swamps threaten extinction lo animals. I once saw a spirited horse, which had escaped from its rider during a chase, plunge unwarily into one, over his back, and which was the means of his being cap- tured. The snare was so complete, that he coul. l not possibly move a limb. After the lapse of an hour, lie was extricated by means of waggon ropes. Before his evtri he was a beautiful light grey, but on his return, as dark as Erebus. It is said misfortunes seldom come singly, and we proved it: for another of the party, having some bottles loosely packed in his basket, and trotting pretty briskly, heard a crash— it was one of them \ lie hurried forward to relate his trouble, and his condition may be conceived. He reminded me most agreeably (?) of the predicament of John Gilpin : " Down ran Ihe wine into Ihe road, 11 Most piteous to be seen, " Which made his horse's flanks to smoke, " As they had hasted been !" The range of country we travelled is of the most sterile description : dark bogs and undulating moun- tains, thinly clad in green, successively rose to view. Though it cannot be addressed as Scott apostrophized Scotland: " Land of brown heath and brushy wood ;" the corresponding line may be justly applied : " Land of ihe ninunliijn and the flood !" These hills comprehend a considerable portion of the county of Cardigan. They are renowned for their production of the staple commodity of Cambria, and for the deliciously flavoured flesh of the animals that afford it; whose boundaries are the winding rills and rivers, and the bottoms of the extended slopes. So numerous are the flocks of some independent proprietors, that a gentleman being once threatened with a law suit, jocosely remarked, that lie would brave his opponent, and if he lost, pay the expenses with the tails of his flock! ( Quaere- Would the lawyers have been content with only the tails ? J Large turbaries are scattered between and on the summits of these hills. Cheerless as are the features of these sources of fuel, they are of the first import- ance; coal and wood being luxuries enjoyed only by the richer inhabitants of the cultivated lowlands; and even among them, coal only finds its way into the superior apartments of their habitations. The " turf harvest" occurs in May, and is anti- cipated witli as much solicitude as a hay harvest. I11 the appointed season, the common farmer, his domestics, labourers, and neighbours, resort in a drove to the hills, mounted on horses of all sizes and mettles, ( some with saddles, others without, some with bridles, others with straw halters,) with light hearts, and dimpled faces; but upon the whole, the riders are so bedecked, and the horses so caparisoned, that if that old, fat fox, FaUlaff, were to rise, anil tci behold, he would exclaim : " I'll not march through Coventry with them— that's flat P- The harvest occupies six or eight days, according to the consumption, when as much fuel is cut. as to last a year. Being properly dried, it is piled into slacks, and journeys are made, as occasion requires, to fclch it home. An interesting female inhabitant of these districts, who had reached the age of ten or twelve years, without ever having been down into Ihe " Gwlad,' or country, as the flourishing and peopled valleys are styled, watt shewn, to gratify her curiosity on her first appearance, into a lady's drawing room, the paper of which was of a leafy pattern The girl had tasted some gooseberries at a place near tbe Devil's Bridge, where people sometimes take fruit to sell, and had been told they grew on small bushes. She observed attentively the paper of the drawing room, and then earnestly asked, if those were the sticks anil leaves that the gooseberries grew upon ? So destitute is the land which gave her birth, and through which we journeyed. After a devious ride, by the sides of morasses, ( above one of which " the Beagle" pointed out a spot where a man had perished in a storm, on his return from a fair,) and through hare hollows, enlivened only by some shepherds' huts, scattered as „ sparingly as country churches, we arrived at the Lake in safety. This sheet of water, the property of Pryse Prvsc, Esq. of Gogerddan, M. P. is situated above a fine waterfall, ( which, however, is not seen from the Pool,) and hence its name— 11 Llyn- pen- rhaiadr," the Lake at the Head of the Cataract. It. is about three* fourths of a mile in circumference. Its water is crystalline, and its trout are remarkable for their outward darkness, and for the flavour and beautiful colour of their flesh. It is partly iu Cardiganshire, and partly in Montgomeryshire. A rill flowing from it, divides these counties, and a person astride over il, being both in North and South Wales, may from that station catch a North and a South Wales trout. The surrounding country is a continuation of that already described ; hut from the abrupt ridge a quarter of a mile northward, above tbe waterfall, there is a most striking prospect of the Montgomery- shire and Merionctiiire steeps, including the noble front of Cader ldris. We enjoyed some tolerable diversion wilh our rods, and afterwards sat to rest 011 the sloping side of the Lake. In such situations, anecdotes arc generally among Anglers the order of the day, and S***** ti amused us with one of an old Welshman, a noted Rhymster, ( formerly butler to W. E. Powell, Esq. of Nanteos,) who, being in the metropolis, iu some jocose company, was accosted by a person : " I'll give you a gallon of ale, if yon will answer in rhyme a rhyming question." " Try at him etto /" ( meaning 1' tl try again !_) exclaimed the old toper. " Well," said the challenger-— " You mortal man that lives hv bread, " What makes > our nose to look so red ?" « Try at him etto.'" again chuckled the rhyming butler," and immediately replied—- 41 Nnnlpos ale, Itoth strong and stale, " Keeps mv tinse from looking pale!" From the Lake we repaired to a shepherd's hut, and fried our ham on its turf lire, and joked, smoked, and drank to Angling. " Smoking," I have heard many a lady protest, " is a shocking habit !*' So it is, when practised 011 a stage- coach, the air carrying the fumes into the faces of the passengers, and the dust from the cigar into their eyes; and in streets it is unseemly and ill- bred • ( let would- be fashionables think as they may) to offend the nostrils of the past, ers by; but 111 places where no one is near to be incommcdcd, where is the harm in a cigar ? In the summer what is a better protector against buzzing insecls? and after fatigue what is a more speedy renovator of the spirits? If the sensitive Cowper denounced tobacco— " Pernicious weed ! whose scent the fair annoys, Unfriendly to society's chief joys," tlie eocirtly Addison sent volumes of smoke around him while he contemplated the snbjectof a succeeding Spectator. It is remarked of the witty and ingenious Phillips ( author of " The splendid Shilling" ), that he sought occasion in every poem of his, save one, to sing its praises. He styles it ** Nature's choice gift! ,. Companion lit " Of pleasantry nnd wine." And the polished Byron gaily exclaims— " ( jive me a Cigar!" Though James the First declared the fume of tobacco " resembled the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless!" Royalty of the present day esteems it a luxury. I11 addition to the above names, consider the Philosophers and Scholars, the Newtons and Parrs, all smokers! Yet, after all, the question is to the fair, all puff. Well! if there are lovers amongst the'men, of smoke, there are lovers, ( but amongst uhom I say not,) of snuff We varied our sport by fishing in the mountain streams, and concluded the day's rccreation and our prog, in view of the fine slope of Plinliinmon ; and reached our asylum after a rough ride, including the whole of the excursion, of about thirty miles, with our baskets replete with trout, and with a determination of exploring once more the regions we had left. A practice prevails in this and in other parts of the Principality, inimical to the fair Angler, namely, that of sweeping the brooks with what is called a stuff net. This destructive instrument is formed with a long cavity, with poles at its sides, and a person going into the water, places the net across the stream, holding a staff uprightly under each arm, while the net is expanded between his legs. Others going some distance tip tbe brook, commence by making the water muddy, ( if there be 110 flush,) and then plung- ing long poles into ( as they walk down) the current, almost every fish is driven into the snare, which is immediately closed and drawn up. So greedy arc the netters, that if a trout no larger than a shrimp be caught, the idea of returning it never occurs ! The advice of Thomson is disregarded: " Him, piteous of his youth, nnd the short space " lie has enjoyed tlie vital light of heaven, " Soft- disengage, and hack into the stream 4t The speckled captive throw." No! no ! " all are fish that come to net" with these lack- sentiment pot sportsmen.

During the night fsbe slept at the cottage, Madame de Genlis heard, for the ii|' l » l time, a species of melody, as mysterious as it was new to her. She found, next morning, that it proceeded from an in. sir 1 ni'nl in England called an " / Italian Hifp," on which she beautifully remarks, « It is natural enough that such qn instrument should have origin- ated iu an island of storms, amid tempests, of which il softens the terrors." " 1 must not quit Llan- gollen," she proceeds, " without mentioning the pure manners of that part of Wales : the two friends as- ured us, that, such is their honesty, often, when they left their mountain to walk in the neighbour- hood, they left the key in the cottage door, and were never robbed of any thing, though they had a considerable quantity of silver plate and other valu- able articles, which might easily have been carried away. The inns of Llangollen were distinguished by the neatness peculiar to England." MODERATE POLITICIANS. [ From the Standard of Tuesday.] The Times of this morning half admits that Ihe necessity of modifying his Cabinet is felt by the Duke of Wellington; but of course argues that a slight modification will be sufficient, and strongly deprecates the introduction of any of the undebauclied and un- disgraced Protestants, whom it calls the Ultra- Torn faction,— throwing the low Whigs at the same time overboard, in order to give a triumph to neither party. The ground which the Times assigns for the Duke of Wellington's security is the fact that he has the moderate men of both parties with him. After M r. Harding and his son, who regulated the speed of the machine by a friction lever. The velocity of the machine was frequently stayed as it proceeded down this apparently interminable cavern, to pre- vent accidents on passing the crowds who walked up and down on the road. This precaution, how- ever, was scarcely thought necessary; for the thunder of the wheels was heard from one end of the tunnel to the other, and there was ample light for the pedestrians to see its approach, and ample room for them to avoid its course. As it l olled along, at tbe rate of about five or six miles au hour, impatient of the restraint of the friction lever, the pedestrians stood still, and gazed upon it in wonder, aud could a voice have been beard amidst the echo- ing' thunder of its wheels, many a hearty cheer would have hailed tbe passage, for Ihe first lime, of the Mayor and his friends uuder " the good old town." As it was, every one was highly gratified, and, after a delightful ride of about eight or ten minutes, the road, taking a slight turn, brought the compauy again to day- light at the entrance of the tunnel near to Wapping The Mayor and his friends alighted, aud took their departure, express- ing their admiration, and their best w ishes for a woik of which Liverpool may justly be proud, and which, indeed, will become a national advantage. The waggon was drawn rapidly back by a single horse, though laden with passengers, aud at Edge, hill received a burthen of ladies, who, nothing alarmed, went thundering through " the tunnel's caverned length" at a quicker rate than the Mayor, though not nearly so rapidly as the machine could go. The appearance of the tunnel, looking back lo the day- light ill going down, is curious aud pleas- ing, the mouth gradually decreasine from the semblance of the moon iu a dim night to a mere speck : and the long string of gas- lights, seen either way for above half a mile, throws all former illu- minations into the shade.

Mr. Baron Vaughan entered this city on Saturday evening, and opened the commission. Yesterday the learned judge attended divine service in the cathedral, and this morning went into the Nisi Prius Court at nine o'clock. After disposing of a few causes of no public interest, his lordship ad- journed to the Crown Court, where, after a full Grand Jury had been sworn, his lordship proceeded to deliver his charge:— " Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,— In consequence of the much lamented and unexpected death of the amiable and able colleague with whom I had the honour to be associated in the execution of his Majesty's commission, which 1 alone am now called 011 to discharge, it falls most unhappily to my lot to have the honour of addressing and assisting you in the administration of the criminal justice of this county : and it is exceedingly gratifying to observe so full an attendance of the great body of the county, this hall being full nearly to overflowing, as it evinces an ardent attachment to the constitution and government under which we have the happiness to live, and a steady desire and determination religiously to uphold them. Without making the judgment seat the organ of idle panegyric, 1 hope it may he permitted me to express in the sincerity of my heart, the regret which all classes of his Majesty's subjects must feel, in common with myself, on the loss of the intelligent public functionary, of whose valuable sen i^ es you are this day deprived. I had the happi- ness of knowing him very long and intimately, and of sitting by bis side on the judgment seat; and I hope also that I knew how to appreciate his worth. As a judge he was, in every sense of the word, a loyal, a right, and a good one; a man of the most vigorous understanding, of the most quick perception, of ( he most sound, accurate, and discriminating judgment; a man whose industry was indefatigable, and perfectly acquainted with those depths and shoals of the law which render the investigation of it so intricate and difficult. Gentlemen, as a private man he was every thing that could be wished; he was generous, humane, and charitable, and of the most stubborn and inflexible integrity.

In a late paper we announced the death of Lady Eleanor Butler, the friend and companion of Miss Ponsonby, Hie sister of tbe celebrated Speaker of the House of Commons. The following extract from tlie Cambrian Quarterly Magazine relates to an affecting and interesting subject— the well- known seclusiou of these two ladies in the vale of Llangollen, " There are few, if any, of the readers of the Cambrian who have not heard of the ladies of Llan- gollen ; perhaps a short account of whom may not be considered uninteresting, and I know no better authority for it than the memoirs of the Comptesse de Genlis, who has thrown a considerable degree of romance around them and their abode. The Comptesse states, that while she was staying at Bury St. Edmund's, accompanied by Mademoiselle D'Orleans, the sister of the present Duke, she met Lord Castlereagh, afterwards the Marquis of Lon- donderry: and having observed, in the course of conversation, that she would willingly travel a long journey for the sake of seeing two persons who had been long united by a sincere bond of friendship: " Then, Madam," said be, " you should go to Llan gollen, where you will see a model of perfect friend- ship ;" and, at the Comptesse's request, he related the following memoir :— " Lady Eleanor Butler, then ( 1788) about 28 years of age, was born in Dublin ; au orphan from the cradle, and a rich, amiable, and lovely heiress: her hand was sought by persons of the best families in Ireland, but she very early Announced her re- pugnance to marriage. This taste for independence she never concealed; yet no woman was ever more reiuaikable for mildness, modesty, and all the virtues that embellish her sex. From earliest infancy she was the intimate friend of Miss Ponsouby; by a singular coincidence of events, ( which struck their imaginations,) they were both born at Dublin, in the same year, and on the same day, and they be. came orphans at the same period. It was easy for them to fancy from this, that heaven had created them for each other, to perform together the voyage of life: their sensibility enabled them to realize this illusion. Their friendship so increased with their age, that at seventeen they mutually promised to preserve their liberty, and never part from each other. They formed, from that moment, the plan of withdrawing from the world, and affixing them- selves for ever iu tbe profoundest solitude. Having heard of the charming landscapes of Wales, they made a secret journey thither, in order to choose their place of retreat. " They arrived ut Llangollen, and there found, 011 tbe summit of 11 mountain, a little isolated cottage, of which the situation seemed to them delicious: there it was they resolved to fix their abode. The guardians of the young fugitives, however, traced their steps, and brought them back to Dublin. They declared that they w ould return to their mountain, us soon as they bad attained their majority. In fact, at twenty- one, in spite of all the entreaties and the arguments of their relatives, they quitted Ireland for ever, aud went to Llangollen. Miss Ponsonby was not rich, but Lady Eleanor possessed a con. siderable fortune; she purchased the little cottage of the peasants, and the land about the mountain, aud built a bouse upon its site, of which the outside is extremely simple, but the interior is of the great- est elegance. " The two friends slill possess, at the foot of the hill, a meadow for their docks, a beautiful farm- house, and a kitchen garden. These two extra- ordinary persons, both of whom possessed the most cultivated minds, and the most charming accom- plishm" nts, have lived iu that solitude for seven years ( 1788), without having slept out of it in a single instance. Nevertheless, they are far from reserved; they frequently pay visits at the neigh- bouring gentlemen's houses, and receive, with equal politeness and kindness, travellers, w ho are either coming from or going to Ireland, and who are re- commended to their attention by their old friends." Madame and her proleg£, the young Princess, undertook the journey to Llangollen, and they were received with grace and cordiality. She saw nothing in them of that vanity which is gratified by awaken- ing the astonishment of Others: they loved each other, and lived in that spot with so much simplicity, that wonder soon subsided into a touching interest; every thing was genuine and natural in their man- ners and conversation. They possessed an excellent library of the best English, French, and Italian authors, which afforded them an inexhaustible source of amusement. The interior of the house was remarkable for the beauty of its proportions; the convenient distribution of the apartments, the elegance of the ornaments and the furniture, and the beautiful views which weic visible from all the of an administration ' Which moderate men and moderate measures raised.' Tbe ministry so landed did not last long; but it lasted longer than we suspect our present " moderate men and moderate measure" fabric is likely to endure, if left without patching. The truth is, that the moderation imputed is but the synonym for the most profligate corruption and apostacy ; and we are not yet to believe that a party which has but that reconitnetidation will be long permitted to govern a nation of Christians and honest men. If the Duke of Wellington's ministry is to stand, it must be made to stand by a large infusion of that integrity and honour in which it is deplorably defi- cient. Falstaff himself had no stronger reason, to seek the market where " a commodity of good names might be bought," than his grace. And now that we are upon the consideration of the Duke's " heinously ill- provided" state, let us offer a word to John Bull's new argument in behalf of Mr. Peel. Suppose, says our weekly contemporary, " suppose tbe Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel hail resisted it, ( the Popish question,) and resigned rather than submit to a necessity, cui bono, as far as the country is concerned; if they had resigned, the Whigs would have come in, who were pledged to carry the question ; so that, in fact, if the time had. arrived, which we most decidedly think had not, why should they refuse to do that which they knew their successors would instantly have done, upon their accession to office r" Supposing our readers recovered from the amaze- ment into which they must be thrown by meeting such an apology for the promoters of popery in the Protestant John Bull, we ask, was there ever any sophistry more flimsy and transparent— any morality which could less bear the touch, than are contained in this short passage? It is a gross Ignoratio Elenchi to assume that the ministers had 110 choice between resignation and submission: they might have resisted ; and that by dissolving the parliament they would have been able to resist successfully, the conduct of the King and of the people have abund- antly demonstrated. And even had they biit the option between resignation and submission, the deter, mination falsely ascribed to the Whigs did not justify their anticipating the threatened crime of that party, and anticipating it with the odious attributes of trick, treachery, and corruption, superadded. It were a bad defence any where, even at the Old Bailey, to say ( hat one picked A.' s pocket only because he had knowledge of B.' s intentions to rob him. The John Butt, in conclusion, asserts Mr. Peel's honesty in a tone of triumph, which seems to offer a challenge to all impugners. Looking at that person's conduct, not merely his conduct upon the one ques- tion, but reviewing the history of his whole life by the light which the last half year affords, we think we could find much to say on this head ; but as long as Sir James Scarlett is to be moderator of all political controversies, we must decline the John Bull's challenge. For the present we will say that we think Mr. Peel no honester a man than Dean Philpotts, about whom, he not being a minister of state, the John Bull can perhaps form a correct judgment. But won obstante Sir James Scarlett, full and speedy justice will be done to Mr. Peel,— Mr. Ben Yasher Ben Judah is neither dead nor asleep. The English, French, and Latin editions of his history of " the great apostacy" will appear at Amsterdam early in November, as we have the best reason to believe. themselves in an illegal and violent manner, whereby the peace of this county and the security of life and property may be endangered." GENERATION OF MOSSES. it LIVERPOOL TUNNEL. On Friday, at twelve o'clock, the grand rail- way tunnel, that runs under Liverpool, from the back of Edge- hill to Wapping, was, in pursuance of adver- tisement, opened for the inspection of the public. The company, many of whom reached the ground in carriages, passed through the small tunnel, at the mouth of which was placed a temporary rail and door- way, where the admission money, a shilling a head, was received. Although the day- light pene- trates this entrance- tunnel, which is 270 yards in length, from end to end, it is but feeble in the mid- dle, and there, for some extent, a row of caudles was fixed on each side to relieve the obscurity, and enable the visitants to inspect the workmanship. At two o'clock, the worshipful the Mayor, in com- pany with some friends, alighted from his carriage at the waggon manufactory, where lie was cordially welcomed by Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Booth, and several other proprietors, who waited his arrival, and with whom he immediately proceeded 011 foot, through the small tunnel. Groups of elegantly- dressed ladies aud gentlemen had already arrived; aud, when his worship and his friends had reached the extensive area into which the two tunnels open, the scene was lively and interesting. The day ivas peculiarly fine. The large tunnel, down which Ihe day- light penetrated for several bundl ed yards, was lighted with gas throughout its Whole extent, and the whole effect was truly grand and beautiful. Soon after two, the Mayor and his friends, includ- ing several of the proprietors, took their places in a common rail- way waggon, fitted with seats forthe occasion, ( the handsome machines intended for passengers not being yet finished,) and, being pushed to the mouth of the great tunnel, set off, down the gently inclined plane, without horse or other drag, at a rapid rate, uuder the guidance, of Mosses, small as they are, and insignificant as they seem, abound every where, even in cultivated fields and gardens; the rare little moss, the gyninos- tomum conicum, is found in gardens, with many of the phasea aud lortule. They flourish chiefly in winter, and seem destined by Providence to keep fresh the verdure of the earth, when other plants are withered and dead, and to protect the roots of those withered plants from the vicissitudes of the season,— a provision which gardeners find it useful to imitate. In woods that are densely shaded, also, there is a great profusion of mosses, chiefly of the sort called hypua, which cover the soil when none of the larger plants could grow for want of air and light. When mosses grow in water, as do all the sphagna, and many others, they not only purify it. from corrupted vegetable matter, but they have a strong tendency to convert it into firm land, by forming aud accumulating soil. We may often observe the top of a brick, or of a stone wall, green with moss, and sometime* tufts of grass and other plants growing there. Now, we ask, whence was the soil formed which supports the moss and the grass? It was not there when the wall was built, and appears to have been carried thither; whence, then, has it come? We cannot, we confess, go to the very first beginning of the formation or manufacture of this soil, but. we can go very near it. The first indication of vegetable life on the wall is that of a green, silky- looking substance, having somewhat the appearance of a coat of green paint. When this is examined by a microscope, it is found to consist of minute buds of moss. As at Ibis stage there is almost 110 support for these tiny moss- buds, minute though they be, they never advance further than the bud, and die with the first dry weather which occurs, leaving their remains to rot, and form the first particles of true vegetable soil. As soon as a thin layer of soil is thus formed, a crop of lichens make their appearance, and go through the same process of growth and decay; a « d, if other circumstances are favourable, the soil soon accumulates to a sufficient depth for grass and other plants which can grow in little earth. If the wall in question be very old, other large plants, such as a wall- fiower and house- leek, will make their appearance. On old ruins you may even see trees, particularly those which bear winged seeds, as the ash and sycamore. Whence, however, tbe seeds are of the tiny moss which first appears on the wall, we cannot say, and in this consists the mys- tery. WE have seen a house built of free- stone, raised from a quarry more than a hundred feet below Ihe surface of the soil, and in the course of one mouth the whole wall as green with moss as if it had been painted. Now if we were to take the doctrine for granted, that every plant arises from seed, the many millions of seeds of these innumerable mosses must have come from the air, or must have existed for centuries in the stone under the earth. One or other of these must be the case. That it is not impossible the seeds may have existed in tbe rock, several curious facts would lead us to believe. We know, for example, that seeds retain the power of germinating and growing for several thousand years; for some wheat which was found wrapped up with an Egyptian mummy was quite fresh, and when sown, grew as well as if it had been ( fathered the preceding harvest. A more striking fact still is, that when a piece of land, which has never been tilled, is turned up by the sp, ade or the plough, it becomes immediately covered with a crop of annuals, — charlock, chickweed, shepherd's puj; se, and many others, not one of which may grow within a hun- dred miles of the spot. What is no less wonderful is, that all these annuals will again disappear as soon as the grass is again suffered to spread over the spot which has been dug up. We may likewise mention, what is well known lo farmers, that by scattering quick- lime over a field which only pro- duces coarse grass, this is destroyed, and other grasses of belter quality, and previously unknown lo the soil, spring up. Now whence, we ask, were the seeds procured, if they were not equivocally and mysteriously generated? OXFORD, AUGUST 1.— The Dean and Chapter of Christ Church having received the conge d' elire, aiid the King's letters recommendatory of the election of Richard Bagot, Clerk, M. A. Dean of Canterbury, to be the Bishop of Oxford, on the death of Dr. Charles Lloyd, proceeded last Thursday in their Cathedral, in the usual form adopted on these occasions, to such election accordingly. We understand that the New Post Office will be ready for tbe transaction of business by tbe middle of August. Tbe Inland, Foreign, Two- penny, Ship- letter, and West India Oilier st, are nearly completed ; as also the private residence of Sir Francis Freeling. In consequence of the present prevalence of small- pox at Abingdon, the Bishop of Salisbury is induced to postpone, to another opportunity, the Visitation and Confirmation which were intended to be holJen there this summer. The Duke of Wellington is carrying his system of retrenchment into every part of the State and public offices. He contemplates a considerable saving in ilie stamp revenue, by consolidating districts. Berks has lately been added to Oxford ; and the eastern and western districts of Hants are now consolidated; and Mr. Graeme, as the senior distributor, has both. A remarkable instance of the ferocity of rats occur- red lately at Wigginton. As Mr. Hoar, junior, of Tringgrange, was returning home about ten^ o'clock at night, he saw upwards of 100 rats approaching him on the common ; he threw stones among them, when they instantly surrounded him, and several ran up his body as high as his shoulders. With much difficulty Mr. Hoar succeeded in beating them off; both his hands were severely bitten, covered with blood, and inflamed.— Farmer's Journal. CURIOUS METHOD OF OBTAINING A LIVELI- HOOD.— At Marlborough- street Police- office, a young lad, an Italian, one of the itinerant exhibitors of monkeys, & c. was charged as a vagrant, with collect- ing money from the passengers in the streets, by playing an organ as lie went along. As the prisoner could speak no other language than that of his native country, Mr. Verrey, the confectioner in Regent- street, at the request of Sir George Farrant, the Magistrate, attended, and acted as interpreter, and through this medium the prisoner, on being questioned, stated that the organ did not belong to himself, but was the property of his master, a foreigner, who resides near Shoreditch, and who brought him, the prisoner, to this country, together with a great many more Italians of both sexes, for the purpose of sending tliein about the streets to collect money, by the exhibition of birds, white mice, monkeys, & c. Each person, he said, on being sent out every morning, is supplied by the master with one means or other of exhibition or exciting com- passion, and is obliged every night to bring home Is. to the master as his share of the profits of the day ! but all that they collect over that sum belongs to themselves, out of which, however, they are to pro- vide themselves with food. Lodgings are provided for them by the master, but of the most wretched kind, ill a place where they are all huddled together in one room ; and the animals are also fed at the master's expense, but as these creatures get an abundance of food of one sort or other given them during the day by children and others in the streets, their support can cost the proprietor but little. This master, by the prisoner's account, has imported a gang of boys and girls, no less in number than about 60, which he disperses about the town every morning, and each being compelled to bring him home a shilling, this master impostor must be collecting at the rate of £ 3 per day, or £ 1,100 per year.— Sir G. Farrant discharged the prisoner, but detained the organ, and told the prisoner that it should not be given up until the master, the owner of it, came for it himself.— The prisoner then departed without the organ, for which it is not expected the real owner will ever call, as it would not be politic in trim to appear before a Magistrate for the sake of an old crazy organ not worth half- a- crown. DESCRIPTION OF CONSTANTINOPLE.— Perhaps in no city in the world such strong contrasts between splendour and squalour, magnificence and meanness, meet the eye of the traveller as in Constantinople. The swelling doirfes and lofly minarets of the mosques, with their marble fountains and brazen portals, are strangely opposed to miserable tenements of painted wood, through which the daylight penetrates in all directions, and many of which are supported by a crumbling- looking post, or shored up by a crooked and tottering pole, or branch of a tree, looking as if indeed it were the protecting power of Mahomet alone that held it up. The streets are full of filth aud heaps of carrion ; from time to time the stranger lights upon some marble palace or mausoleum, surrounded by the miserable remains of whole districts destroyed by those continual fires which, lighted either by the rage of conflicting parties, or by the carelessness of the predestinarian Mussulmans, so frequently lay waste the capital of Constantino. At one moment he will find himself amid groups of wretched and disgusting paupers and hungry curs, aud at another he will perhaps meet with some magnificent looking Emir, iu green robes aud turban, mounted upon his spirited aud richly caparisoned barb, preceded by beautiful led horses, and followed by richly- dressed and em broidered chaoushes and slaves. Almost the only buildings of stone in Constantinople are the Seraglio, Eski Serai ( or old Palace), the Palace of the Porte or Divan, the great Khans or Bazaars, the Mosques, Mausoleums, and, perhaps, a few palaces of the great officers of state; the rest of this immense city is built of wood ; and I must say, that however beautiful and picturesque it is from a distance, it is, in its interior, one of the meanest and most filthily disagreeable cities I ever beheld. Its population is very variously estimated ; but I believe, from all that I could learn. from persons who had been many years resident at Pera, that four hundred thousand is about the number of its inhabitants, including those of the fauxbourgs of Pera, Galata, and Tophana.— Frankland's Journal. An individual of the name of J. Bremner, Fochabers, has, we are informed, had in his possession, since January last, the astonishing number of 36,000 hare and rabbits' skins, besides a large quantity of skins of vermin, 7,000 of which were killed in the neigh- bourhood of Fochabers. The weight of the above was somewhat about four tons, and the value £ 800. From the above statement our readers will form some idea of the quantity of game with which our northern regions are replenished.— Elgin Courier. There is a singular and inexplicable antipathy subsisting between the ape and the snail. That, an animal, which, in the resemblance of his outward shape at least, claims rather a bold kindred with man, should have so little wit or courage as to run away from a snail— aye, and look back with an expression of terror in his face, lest it should follow him, is per- fectly unaccountable,— but so it is. Place an ape in the centre of a circle of snails, and it will excite the laughter of the gravest person, to see what a fright and agony the silly creature is in, and what a series of grimaces and antic gestures it will make, not know- ing how to escape tbe snails ; aud not daring, for fear they should seize him behind, to offer to leap over the circle ! From a recent investigation it appears that there are, 111 the metropolis, forty mendicani impostors, who endeavour to excite public charityj by writing in chalk upon the flag- stones in the most populous streets of London, and that their joint collections average seven thousand pounds pef annum. When the business of each day is over; these fellows meet together and divide the spoil. They afterwards separate, newly decorate them- selves, and in tbe company of their " sweethearts and wives," with their cigars ( pure Havannahg'j regale themselves at public places until midnight. Two valuable mares, the property of George' William Gent, Esq. of Moyns Park, Essex, were last week poisoned by eating a quantity of the cuttings of a yew hedge, which were thrown out by the gardener, among other rubbish, where the horses were grazin- ' a practice which had been continued for many years without any accident occurring from it. There were several other horses in the park besides the two poisoned, which were supposed not to have eaten so greedily of this poisonous plant, as they were not affected by it. But the effect of it on the two that died was very remarkable and sudden, when the poison began to operate, for it appeared they dropped down dead almost instantaneously, without pain or struggling, as grass was found in their mouths when discovered. The bodies were considerably swollen, and when opened to ascertain the cause of their death, a considerable quantity of the yew was found in their stomachs, which were greatly inflamed. One of the mares was well known by the name of Jewess having won three successive cups at Clare races — Bury Post. THE CAMEL.— The first experiment which an European makes in bestriding a camel is generally a service of some little danger, from the peculiarity of its movement in rising. Denon thus describes it: " The coute selle ( mounting at a signal) was very amusing. The camel kneels down to be mounted and, slow as he generally is in his actions, lifts up hi' hind legs very briskly at the instant the rider is 011 the saddle; the man is thus thrown forward a similar movement of the fore legs throws him backward each motion is repeated, and it is not till the fourth movement, when the animal is fairly on his feet, that the rider can recover his balance." None of us could resist the first impulse. And anolher traveller says, " I was made acquainted with this peculiarity of animal movement in a striking manner the first time I mounted a camel out of curiosity. When he was about to rise, from old habits associated wilh the horse, I expected he would throw out his fore legs, and I threw myself forward accordingly, when up sprang his hind legs, and clean I went over his ears, to the great amusement of the Turks standing near." The use of plumbago to the works of clocks and watches is likely to supersede that of oil. The plumbago is prepared by repeatedly grinding and washing it over, by which means the gritty particles that occur, even in the best black lead, are removed, and which, if allowed to remain, would neutralize every advantage the pure plumbago is found to give. This done, the prepared substance is applied with a camel- hair pencil, either in the state of powder or mixed up with a drop or two of pure spirit of wine. It readily adheres to the surface of a steel pivot, as well as to the inside of the hole in which it runs, so that the rubbing surfaces are no longer one metal upon another, but plumbago upon plumbago. These surfaces, by their mutual action, speedily acquire a polish only inferior to that of the diamond, and then the retardation of the machine from friction is reduced almost to nothing, and wear and tear from this cause is totally prevented. An astronomical clock, made by Mr. Herbert, of which the pivots, and holes, and teeth of the escape- wheel had been covered on their rubbing parts with fine plumbago fourteen years before, was not long ago taken to pieces by a com- mittee of the Society of Arts and examined; the surfaces of plumbago were found to be for the most part unbroken and highly polished, and neither the pivots nor sockets appeared, on examination with high magnifiers, to have undergone the slightest degree of wear. HIGH LATITUDES— OPTICAL DECEPTIONS. [ From The Extractor.]— Humboldt and his party, on their memorable ascent of the volcano of Tunguragna, iu the Nevado del Chimborazo, at the elevation of 19,320 feet, the highest spot ever trod by man, suffered severely. The air was reduced to half its- usual density, and felt intensely cold and piercing. Respiration was laborious, and blooil oozed from their eyes, their lips, and their gums. Another peculiarity of great elevations, noticed by travellers, is, the astonishing clearness of the atmosphere. Capt. Head was struck with it in the case of a condor- shot, which appeared to fall within 40 yards; but, on sending one of his miners to bring it back, to bis astonishment he found that the distance was such as to take up above half- au- hour, going and returning. In Norway, a friend of Ihe present writer stepped out of a boat, to visit a spot, as he conceived, of a few hundred yards distant, when, in fact, it proved to be some miles; In the Pyrenees, the celebrated cascade of Gavarni appears about a short mile from the Auberge, where travellers frequently leave their mules while they proceed on foot— little aware that they are thereby exposing themselves to a long and laborious walk of an hour's duration. In tbe Andes, Humboldt remarks this phenomenon, stating, that in the mountains of Quito he could distinguish the white poncho of a person OIJ horse- back, at the distance of 17 miles; he also notices the extremely clear and steady light of the stars, which we can vouch to be true to a most extra, ordinary degree, even in Europe, having distinctly seen the planet Venus, in a dazzling sunshine, at half- past eleven from the summit of the summit of the port of Venasque, in the Pyrenees.— Travels in Peru, by Lieut. Brandy R. N. A young man, named Hanmore, fishing in Chertsey Mead, was struck dead by lightning on Friday, having imprudently taken shelter under a tree to avoid the storm— trees being conductors of electric fluid, should be avoided as decidedly dangerous.
