Russia has one of the scales of " the balance" upon the stone, while the other scale, comprehending the powers of Austria, France, and England, is twisting and wavering in the air like a paper kite. But present politics apart, they must form the deduction from the statistical premises laid down in this paper. And now let us see what fhe force of Russia has been at the commencement of the present, struggle. This must necessarily be some- what lengthened ; but it is essential for the purposes of this paper, as well as to open the eyes of the sleepy, winking, temporising parties, over whom Russia now begins to sway the rod.

[ From the Liverpool Albion.'] At no period within our recollection has there existed, in the commercial world, so universal a feeling of gloom and despondency as thqt which pervades tbe country at the present moment. Mer- chants, tradesmen, shopkeepers, mechanics,— all classes, in short, are depressed and sinking into despair. Tbe busy hum of productive industry.— tbe quick and elastic step of the merchant,— the cheerful, active stir of the dealer, are 110 longer visible. Even the ordinary topics of mercantile conversation are abridged, and little else is heard but complaints of losses, unprofitable investments, depreciated stocks, bad debts, and fearful fore- bodings of losses to come. " What is the cause of this unparalleled depres- sion ?" is the single question which hangs on every boOy'slips;— a question to which every variety of olution is applied, without one step being made " wards improvement, and which will remain, we fear, to be solved by ihe application of conflicting- ' eories, when hundreds, who now live in comfort- able circumstances, will have eeen their depend- ant?, the result of years of labour and anxiety, swept clean from under them, etifl will be more concerned in procuring their daily subsistence, than they can ever be ill the elucidation of a mere oblem in political philosophy. YVe are, ourselves, almost afraid of hinting at the main circumstance lluit has produced the present state of things; some of our contemporaries being so committed to opinions of an opposite description to those which we entertain, that we are alarmed lest we should find ourselves engaged, unawares, in controversy upon doctrinal points in state economy So long ago as December, 1827, we forewarned our eaders, In an article upon the then " slate and prospects of the cofton market," that, provided Ihe existing Government of that day remained in power, and adhered to their declared principle of repudi- ating a paper currency, a gradual receding in Ihe prices of nil commodities must be tbe inevitable esult. YVe staled this conviction as part of a long article, in which we had endeavoured to pre- sent our readers w ith a candid review of the events that might contingently affect Ihe cottDn market; adding, in the conclusion of that article, that whilst we were estimating Ihe demand and supply f cotton, we ought never to overlook Ihe less obvious, but, perhaps, more important question ' nvolved in the demand and supply of money. That the prophetic part of that admonition has been fulfilled to the very letter, no one, we think, can now be prepared to deny. And yet it is some- what singular, that many well- informed men,— men ho are qualified, by education and by habits of aim thinking, to form correct opinions upon public lestions, contend obstinately against the doctrine, that the main reduction of prices is attributable lo the curtailment of the currency. Admitting the fact of a general depreciation, they stoutly deny Ibe imputed cause, and cast about for other grounds pon which the phenomenon may be more rationally explained. Some maintain, that it has been caused by Ibe late bad harvest; arguing, speciously ough, that the means of the lower orders hair been absorbed in the acquisition of bread, and that no surplus has remained to be employed in the pma chase of manufactures. Others attribute to the American tariff an effect which any candid en- quirer must see that it is utterly inadequate to produce; whilst a third class insist, that the effect has resulted from the over- production caused by the extended application of machinery to mauut'ue- ' uring purposes. Instead of meeting these various theories by a denial of their efficacy to explain the origin of the present distress, we are ready to allow, that Ihe tendency of their joint operation may be exactly in the way described, aud I hat each may have contri- buted its quota to swell and aggravate the sum of national calamity. But, when we see our contem- poraries, iu different parts of the country, holding up Ihese minor and ephemeral causes as sufficient themselves to account for the wide- spreading distress wilh which the industrious classes of the country ate simultaneously borne down, and deny- ing that the withdrawal of bank- notes from circula- tion has had any material influence in producing the distress, we are equally surprised at Ihe facility with which men can deceive their own minds, and the ingenuity with which they can blind the under- standings of their readers. • 146,601 Men - . 688,332 Lengthened Comment upon this authentic statement of the Russian military force is altogether unnecessary The Russian empire extends over 3G8,000 square geographical miles of 15 to a degree ( being upwards of four times as long as an English statute mile, 69 of which go to a degree), 100,000 miles iu Europe, more than 24 i, 000 miles in Asia, and the residue in America. This empire comprehends one half of Europe and a third of Asia ; it forms a ninth part of the habitable globe. Its European division is peopled by 58 millions of inhabitants, its Asiatic by tw millions, and its American by 50,0 ,0. The total number 60 millions of souls, which, however, gives no more than about 161 persons to each square mile. In this population and in Europe alone we perceive 2,500,000 I'inns, less than 500,000 Germans and Scandinavians, and 50 millions of Slavonians, of whom four millions are Poles. The Russian territory considered capable of supporting 150 millions of human beings, and its population to increase at yearly rate of half a million.—( Count Segur's History of Russia ) Such, then, is the Colossus of the North which is now ready to overwhelm Turkey, and threatens all Europe at no great distance of time wilh a similar fate ; and w hose future conquests have been made easy by the assistance Mr. Canning's cabinet afforded it at Navarino.

GURNKY'S STF. AVI CARRIAGE.— Oi Wednesday afternoon Mr. Gurney's steam carriage was ex- hibited, at Ibe request of Ihe Dulse of Wellington in the Hounslow Barrack- yard, before his grace and a large number of military and scientific gentlemen. His grace, Sir W. Gordon, the l. adi s Percy, & c. had a carriage attached, and rode runnd the vard with the greatest pleasure and satisfaction. After- wards, a waggon was fastened lo the steam carriun- e containing 27 soldiers, besides Mr. Gnruey aud two or three me i i n the engine ; and, though" the roatl was very d sadvantageous, being a rough loose sand and gravel, it drew them round without the least diminution of its speed, between nine aud ten miles an hour. In these experiments Mr. Gumey applied his steam generally but lo one wheel, in order to give til;- company full proof of the power and practicability of the invention. Having satisfied them as t, this, and as to its manageability, by a variety of involutions and evolutions, be gave them a specimen of its speed, and drove seven or eight limes round at the rate of 16 to 17 miles an hour. The Duke of Wellington observed, that it was scarcely possible to calculate ( lie benefits we should derive from the introduction of such an invention as this. We have it from unquestionable authority that a Cabinet minister ( one of the regular expediency men) the other day acknowledged that the resolutions of the magistrates of Fermanagh were fully warranted, for that the Catholics there bad been the aggressors without any justification whatever ; and that O'Connell and Co. were acting most ungratefully towards all the supporters of the Catholics. What justification does not their misconduct afford to those who conscientiously voted for the constitutional law of England!— Brighton Gazette. IMPORTANT TO FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.— At the Hampshire sessions, a case of considerable import, ance to Friendly Societies occupied Ihe attention of Ihe Court Ihe greatest part of Thursday. John Cole was indicted for stealing, in his capacity o one of the stewards, a bag containing 120 sove- reigns, belonging to a Friendly Society at Soulh- wiek. An extraordinary ingenuity had been practised in obtaining the keys of the club chest and substituting a bag of 120 pieces of lead in place of tbe sovereigns. After the case was closed, the indictment was objected to, on a point of law, and the Court were of opinion that the landlord, at whose house Ihe club was held, and who kept one of the keys of the box, was no longer the bailee after he had delivered the key to one of the stewards, but yet he again became responsible as soon as Ihe meeting was over and the box delivered to his charge. The chairman expressed Ihe una- nimous regret of the Magistrates, that the objection taken by Ihe learned Counsel ( although a nice point to determine) w as fatal, and wished it to be understood that it was upon lliat point alone ( he prosecution could not be sustained. SIMPLICITY OF A COPT.— Mr. Salt, our consul in Egypt, had a Copt servant who left him and returned to his native village, wishing to become a priest. On account of his peculiar honesty Mr. Salt wished to re- engage him, and commissioned a gentleman going to Thebes to persuade him to return. He was fount! living in a sepulchre at Gourna, ( Ihe great bnrvin. r- place of Egypt, whence most of ( he mummies trans initted to Europe are taken,) pallid, filthy, and emaciated, poring over a huge volume, in company with a fat old man, dressed in a Mne garment ap- parently fifty years old, a huge black turban on his head, and a pipe in bis mouth - this was ( he Coptic Bishop under whom he was studying. The traveller explained the object of his visit, at which the Bishop was very angry, and refused to allow him to return. The traveller took bis leave, but returning the next day found the Copt alone. He sail! nothing about his vocation, but put one question, " Where did he feed best, in Mr. Salt's kitchen or the Bishop's house :" This staggered him — his zeal for theolo- v merged in his earthly feelings. The traveller haiMn li s pocket one of those small French mirrors, one side of M h ch magnifies tbe features, ( lie other diminishes • whilst the remembrance of the flesh- pots of Egypt was passing over his mind,— while the recollection of the Consul's larder was rising in his bosom, he said to him, « I fear my friend, yon fast too much, there's famine in your very face," anil presenting diminishing glass, bade him gaze on his feitures: he saw his countenance flie of a shrivelled walnut— he the meagre reduced to the , . 4 Rave a look of horror, antl gathering his books with one hand, and his few rags with the other, ceased not to torment the traveller until he was again oil his road to his old service.

Offeial details have arrived of one of the tnost important events of the present campaign in the last— the capture by the Russians of Lrzeroum and Hassan Kale, together with that of the Seraskier himself, ( the Contmander- in Chief of all the Turkish fmefs in Asia) and of four Pachas, and 150 pieces of cannon ! These details had just reached St. Peters- bnrgh before our Ambassador sent off' his despatches. •— The results of this victory, cannot fail to be im- mense. Erzeroum, the capital of Turcomania ( the ancicnt Assyria,) situated at the source of the Euphrates, is not only important from its magnitude, wealth, arid position, but was made by the Turkish Government the centre of all the forces and re- sources which it had collected lo carry on the war in defence of its Asiatic provinces— PSot only is it now in the hands of the Russians— not only are they encamped for the first time on the banks of the Euphrates, with the fertile plains of Assyria before thim, but they are encamped there without an enemy to prevent their progress. The armies raised lo oppose them are all destroyed— all the Ottoman Commanders are prisoners, and there remains neither chief nor soldier to order a levy, or direct a move- ment against the conquerors. How far they may choose to proceed seems now to be left to tlieir own will. Whether they will march over the ruins of Hahylon to Bagdad, or turn down into Anatolia to threaten Constantinople from the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus, time w ill show, and the moderation of the Emperor Nicholas, or the obstinacy of the Sultan, must decide. But if European diplomacy stand not iu lieu of arms, ere many months have elapsed the mighty colossus of the Ottoman Empire may lie a wreck upon that earth which it once over- shadowed with its power. According to the latest accounts, the Russians have fairly crossed the Balkan, and established themselves to the south of the mountains. They have possession of Bourgas, w hich it was suppo ed, from the import- ance of the harbour, would have been fortified— of Aidos, where it was . said one of the principal Turkish divisions was stationed— and of other places of less importance. They have, in fact, possession of the mountains, and the whole coast as far southward as Sizeboli. The distance of the Rossi n advanced posts from Constantinople is considerably within two hun- dred miles, ani » there are no remarkable natural impediments in the line of march. The importance of ihe successes of Ihe last campaign, which were so little regarded at the time, is now fully apparent. The possession of Varna by the Russians has rendered Chotinila of little consequence, for by merely masking the last mentioned fortress, the invaders have been able to advance securely along the two roads nearest the coast. The Russian Bulletin, detailing the successful operations of the army in the passage of the Balkan, states, that the Russian Commander- in- Chief com- pletely concealed his bold design of attempting the passage from the Grand Vizier, who did not know of the march of the Russian troops from before Chounila until four days after it had commenced. This un- expected step of course threw the Turks into the utmost confusion, as they never imagined that the Russian army would venture to cross the Balkan until Choimila had, in the first instance, been re- duced. Mesambri, Burgas, and Aidos, being in the po- session of the Russians, nothing seems likely to oppose their triumphant march to Constantinople. The Turkish officers appear to have made scarcely any resistance— a circumstance which is wholly unac- countable. It is the unanimous opinion of military men of all countries, that an army of 20,000 men could have prevented ten times the number from crossing the hitherto impregnable barrier— and yet it would seem that General Diebitsch found no opposi- tion of the slightest consequence. He deserves great credit for this masterly movement; but if the Turks even yet rally, his position may be most critical. Private letters from Bucharest state that General Pahlen, formerly Governor of the Principalities, had embarked at Odessa, for the purpose of opening negotiations with the Grand Vizier, It is with the deepest regret that we have to announce the death of the Right Hon. General Sir David Baird, G. C. B. and K. C. G. This lamentable event took place at his sent, Ferntower, in Perthshire, on Tuesday last, the 18th inst. Ilis loss will long be regretted by his friends and the public, to both of whom he has rendered the most important services. He possessed the best of hearts, equally warm, generous and brave ;— his courage could not be surpassed by the royal lion of Bengal, where it was so often tried. By his death the Government of Fort George, and the Colonelcy of the 24th Regiment, are vacant. and thousands upon thousands of copies were circu- lated over all parts of the Empire, amid the admira- tion of friends, and ( still greater compliment) the sneers and misrepresentations of political opponents. The Tim. cs so far mistook its man as to attempt to put Mr. Sadler down! Alas for the " Leading Journal!" It. soon, perceived its error; but it had not the magnanimity to confess it. A charge was flung out that the speech had been written before its delivery, and even sent to a morning paper ere it had been uttered in the House of Commons. This broke down ; because a second speech came more brilliant than tiie first, though never properly reported ; and then another, and another, and another, aye, without a pun, to the crack of the poor Times'* doom. Direct attack having failed, sneer, inuendo, and covert insult were resorted to. " One Mr. Sadler," quoth tbe perpetrator of the Times with a taste pecu- liarly his own, has said so and so! Then came the niarch- of- mind man, Mr. Wilmot Horton, mounted upon his wooden hobby, with his huge " Report" in one pocket, and Mr. Sadler's book on Ireland in the other. Mercy on the Hon Member for Newark if he had had the misfortune to hit his shins agiiinst Mr. Wilmot's mighty mass of literary lumber. He was on bis guard ; and those who were in the House of Commons on the night when the great oracle of Emigration fired off his blunderbuss at Mr. Sadler, can best tell how completely Newark extinguished Newcastle- under- Lyne, how utterly the " Wisdom of our Ancestors" dissipated the frothy stuff by modem philosophers falsely called the " March of Intellect." Of Mr. Sadler's volume on Ireland this is not a place to speak, because I am writing a short essay, and not a pamphlet; but I may, perhaps, in some form or other, go a little into the question which the Hon. Gentleman so skilfully, I will coin a word, and say so christianly, discusses, for 1 cannot undertake the exploration of poor Mr. Wilmot Horton's terra incognita under better guidance.

' Possessing as we do one of the loveliest public promenades in the kingdom,— the first subject of enquiry by, and the admiration of, strangers, and, 1 would hope also the pride of every true Salopian— it i a circumstance to be regretted, that the inhabitants annot there inhale the refreshing breeze of early morn, or the stranger and invalid find a cool seques- tered retreat from the noon- day sun, without having their olfactory senses annoyed by the. idaily stench of soap suds, and their optical nerves assailed by the view of various nameless articles of wearing apparel, & c. which occupy the space between the trees,: and frequently extend nearly the whole length of two of the beautiful walks; such an appropriation certainly could not have been the intention of the original projector of this shadowy bower, and I would hope tfiat as no one can, of prescriptive right, claim such an accommodation, the nuisance here mentioned will be taken into consideration in the proper quarter, and abolished. Such a proceeding ought to be considered expe- dient even for the credit of the town ; for whilst it has often been my pleasure to witness the delight which strangers have expressed in reference to the natural beauty of our " QUARRY," I have as fre- quently had the mortification to bear their sentiments of surprise and wonder ilt the fact, lhat the inhabit- ants, or those who have the controul over this walk, should so lightly esteem it as a promenade, as to allow it to be the rendezvous of washerwomen, and the daily exhibition of garments,— from the modest chemise to ( he inexpressible breeches,— whilst the vast sheets and counterpanes seem as so many blots on a beautiful picture. — For the removal of these blots, I would most re- pectfully appeal to those who possess the power, and are trustees for the public good of this respectable borough. Few persons would be Incommoded by the result, and a great public benefit would be conferred. At the same time I would mention that it is to be desired, ere another Spring beams upon us, the walks may be rcgravelled, and the seats properly repaired For the accomplishment of such a desirable under- taking it is but reasonable to look to the resources derived from the " Quarry1' itself: and since it is but too evident that this grateful shade has already attained its prime of growth and beauty, and as the wintry winds of each succeeding year contribute, in no small degree, to hasten it towards a sure decline, let us appreciate its beauties while they tire to be enjoyed, and endeavour also, by the adoption of some effective measures, to rid this public walk of the loose characters by which it is not unfrequcntly. infested. These ideas have beeti elicited by an earnest desire to see the general state of the " QUARRY" accord with its unrivalled and acknowledged beanty of scener.. anil of situation, and in the hope thift they will not be thought altogether unworthy of tire con- sideration of the Body Corporate of Wig town, ' , ?

INCORRIGIBLE OFFENDER. On Thursday se'nnight, J. P. Wilton, Esq. of Beauchamp Lodge, near Gloucester, met in the immediate vicinity of his own residence, a man named Richard Jones, whom he at once recognised as having been that morning discharged, after twelve months' confinement at the tread- mill, from the County Gaol, to which establish- ment Mr. Wilton is surgeon. Jones, who carried a bundle over his shoulder, seemed mightily pleased at regaining bis liberty, and to the kind admonitions of Mr. Wilton as to the amendment of his future con-, duct, promised to pay implicit attention, especially as he confessed he had been in gaol twice before, and continued on his way to his native place in Mon- mouthshire. In the course of the evening, Mr. Wilton was informed that the cottage of his nearest neighbour, Daniel Greening, an industrious labourer, had been broken open in the absence of the family at harvest- work, and a quantity of wearing- apparel stolen ; and from a subsequent conversation with Greening no doubt could be entertained that the robbery had been committed by Jones, only a few minutes before he met Mr. Wilton, and at that very t me he was wearing a part of the stolen habiliments. On the recommendation of Mr. Wilton, Greening set out in pursuit of the offender, whom he traced to Ross, and from thence was induced to go to Hereford, but gaining no intelligence of him at the latter place, he turned hack, and on again reaching Ross found the'. thief in custody. He ivas immediately taken before Kingsmill Evans, Esq. by whom he was fully committed for trial, and he has since been transferred to his old quarters. It appeared that on arriving at Ross, Jones obtained permission from a carter to rest in his stable, and returned the kindness of the latter by stealing the tobacco- box from which he had been relieved by a quid.

SADLER. [ By a Correspondent of the Carlisle Patriot.'] This gentleman is a brilliant example of what may be effected by talent in alliance with principle. Not- withstanding that his general political doctrines are not those which captivate the million, Mr. Sadler is decidedly one of the most popular men of the day, The first time I ever saw him was in the lobby of the House of Commons, soon after the Speaker had taken the chair; he was surrounded by at l ast a dozen friends, two of whom ardently grasped his hands, and seemed too covetous of the honour to divide it with those pressing around. As the Hon. Member passed quickly along, " That's Mr. Sadler, that's Mr. Sadler," as quickly went from mouth to mouth. Within the House he was, I understand, equally an object of atti n io. i; and bis hotel near Westminster Bridge was liteially hesieged by the callers, I am told, the day after the delivery of his famous speech upon the Ca hole Bdl. Mr. Sadler's age is about fifty. In person he is light and active ; a partial baldness dis- plays to advantage his ample forehead ; and the fire of genius sparkles in his dark eyes, which light up and give animation to his pale but expressive coun tenance. His voice is full, without being noisy ; deep- toned, nicely- modulated, and commanding ; and the Hon. Gentleman's manner in every respect answers til his matter— copious without redundancy, orna- mental without extravagance. I confess that I am partial to Mr. Sadler; but 1 am ccrtain that that partiality has not led me to exaggerate a single point of his qualifications for the distinguished station in the public eye which he may be said to have assumed ptr suit urn. To his honour be it stated, the seat which he occupies in the legislature for Newark was not sought by him for the advancement of his own purposes, but was literally thrust upon him. Sir William Clinton vacated it; and a considerable num- ber of the influential electors, who knew Mr. Sadler by his local fame, though not personally, waited upon him at Leeds, without previous intimation tendered him their votes and that of a large portion of their fellow- townsmen, and solicited him to become a candidate. The Hon. Gentleman complied on the instant, I have been told ; and we all know how ably and triumphantly he conducted an arduous contest to the desired issue, though opposed by Mr. Sergeant Wilde, one of the most energetic and clever men of the day, seconded by a host of electioneering talent and experience, and amply supplied with the sinews of such a war— a long- purse. This fact is, I think, unprecedented in the history of popular elections. How soundly those judged who called upon Mr. Sadler, the records of the Session of 1829 bear witness. And inwhata proud position he stands in the borough of Newark his recent visit to it made apparent; and in what relation be will soon stand as between Govern- ment and People will soon be seen; for J hazard nothing when 1 confidently predict that Mr. Sadler will at no very distant day be called upon to dis- charge the duties of an office, as Mr. Brougham once said of himself, " not very far below the highest in the state :" and I will also venture to prophesy that Yorkshire, at a proper opportunity, will not readily consent that the Hon. Gentleman shall go out of that county to seek for a seat in an assembly upon which he confers so high an honour. The impression which his first speech made was prodigious. Independently of the profuse circulation of the newspapers, various editions of it were printed, On Friday last, a meeting of the Society of Royal British Bowmen took place at Leaton Knolls, the new and elegant seat of John Arthur Lloyd, Esq The numerous company, consisting of the Archers, and others invited to meet them, assembled about one o'clock, when the diversion commenced; there being two shooting butts for ladies, and one for gentlemen, which were judiciously set out on the sloping lawn, near the mansion. A commanding site for • bservation was allotted to the crowd of gaze from Shrewsbury and the vicinity, and the line of demarcation being properly kept, no unpleasant intrusion occurred. The wind was, at intervals, rather high and cold, but on the whole the day was favourable. Hilarity and mirth presided among those actively engaged, while their exercises of skill afforded a high treat to the admiring spectators and the strains of an excellent band, appropriately stationed, swelling on the breeze, tended to enhance the beauty and the amusement of the scene. At three o'clock, the Archers and their friends, to the number of 180, partook of a most sumptuous collation in two spacious and elegant tents erected on the lawn for the occasion : this treat, with the excep- tion of the vegetables and four prime haunches of venison, was cold— in accordance with a rule of the Society. After partaking of the refreshments so liberally and tastefully provided, the shooting was renewed, and continued until the shades of evening approached. The situation of the Knolls commands a fine pro- spect of the meandering Severn and the fertile lands adjacent, add to which, the lively picture presented by the Archers in their rich costume, and the grati- fication generally apparent, and the whole may be said to have formed a scene of gaiety and pleasure readily conceived, but of which any description must be faint and inadequate. Among those present were— Mr. Kynaston Main- waring ( President); Lady Charlotte Neville Grenville ( Lady Paramount); the Viscountess Feilding, the Hon. H. W. and tbe Hon E. R.

To the Inhabitants of the Counties of Salop atid Montgomery. Allow me to call your attention to the art of making Cyder, now that the great abundance of apples in this neighbourhood offers so good an opportunity. Whilst travelling through the greater part of Shropshire and Montgomeryshire, for several years past, I have repeatedly asked, in the neighbourhood of extensive orchards, how the apples were disposed of? and have always been answered, that Cyder was never made there. Indeed, there appears to be a great and general ignorance as to the process of making it. I have been informed by some of the knowing farmers, that the apples in this country are not of the " Cyder sort" I have, however, been many years in the habit of tasting the apples, and occasionally assisting in making Cyder, in Somerset^ Shire ; and I can, with the greatest confideitce, state two facts which must be generally interesting at this time, to those who have a great abundance of apples: viz. first, that the apples in this neighbourhood are in every way as well adapted for making Cyder, as those which are used for making it in the Cyder countries; and secondly, that the process of making Cyder is very simple, and involving a very inconsiderable expense. The machines used are principally two: viz. one for reducing the apples to a pomice, and the other a press. The first consists of a cylinder set round with iron teeth, working into a box set in the same manner. This is worked by a crank handle, and grinds the apples. A box is placed under to receive the pomice it falls. This pomice is then placed in wooden frames ( something in the manner of cheese- making), and when a sufficient number are filled to such a height above the top as will allow for sinking, they are placed one on another in the press; and around them all are troughs, which convey the Cyder to one point, and discharge it into a large vessel, from which it is barrelled off without any further trouble. After this is done, they generally make an inferior Cyder, wliich they call " Water Cyder. 11 It is made as follows:— The pomiae is removed from the press, and placed in large mashing tubs, where water is poured over it. After remaining there 24 hours, it is returned again to the press, and undergoes a similar process to that it underwent before. This is used by the West- country farmers' servants during corn har- vest ; and forms a very wholesome and pleasant drink. Should any one wish to try tbe experiment, I will readily put them in the way to get the press made, and give any further particulars, on enquiring for me of the Editor.

We lament to state, that an occurrence that had nearly proved fatal to a labouring man employed in the harvest, by Mr. Mintop, of Albright Lee, near this town, took place on Thursday evening last. Mr Million had engaged 14 men, out of Cheshire, as reapers; and two of them, on the evening above- mentioned, unfortunately had an altercation iu the field; both were somewhat under the effects of liquor, and the younger one having threatened, if not struck, his elder companion, the latter cut him across the neck with his sickle, inflicting a most dan- gerous wound, but f t'oni which, we trust, he will recover: the man who inflicted this injury immedi- ately expressed great contrition, but, fearing the result, he absconded in the night: be was subse- quently re- taken, and is now in custody.

TUBLIC DINNER TO MR. O'CONNEIX.— The Limerick Evening Post contains a long account of an entertainment provided for the " Great Liberator" by his friends and admirers, at Gilmore's Commercial Hotel, Limerick, on Wednesday, 12th instant. Mr. O'Connell was received with the greatest enthusiasm, and delivered a speech, which closed with these words :—" A great moral revolution has been brought about in the human mind; information is spreading far and wide; the lower classes, as they are some- times insultingly called, are becoming enlightened, and are now more and better informed than tbe higher classes formerly were. In short, knowledge is spreading fast, and communicating rapidly, and you all know that knowledge is power. This great moral change must work for some great good, or some tremendous evil. We have seen its effects in France, and the good which sprang from it, however great, can never compensate for the evil it at first created. Families ruined, wives widowed, children made orphans, and blood spilled. It will lie my business to watch its motions, to mark its progress, ty : , ' t. 1 Ride on ihe w hirlwind, and direct the storai;' or rather to effect a great combination of us all for the prevention of any evil consequence, for the purpose of making life more safe, and property more secure!!!" The largest drops of rain, which are about one- fifth of an inch in diameter, will fall 2010 feet in a minute ; but the ordinary drops in this climate will seldom fall half as fast. Hailstones in the south of Europe, having sometimes the enormous diameter of two inches, w. n fail with a velocity of 113s feet in a second, or more than 11 mile in a minute: a rapidity of stroke which destroys corn- fields and ravages vine- yards.— Leslie's Elements.

At the Carnarvonshire Great Session there were but three bills laid before the Grand Jury, and these for minor offences ; and one year's imprisonment was the heaviest punishment inflicted. At tbe Denbighshire Great Session, Samuel Jo-. es, of Rnabon ( aged 22), was found guilty of stealing two flitches of bacon and a ham, the property of Joseph Edwards, of Bangor, and was sentenced to be imprisoned 2 years to hard labour.— John Thomas, ( aged 23,) for stealing a gold watch, chain, and seals, the: prnperty of Mrs J.

SIR,— As it is expected that the Regatta and other diversions to take place at Aberdovey 011 Thursday and Friday, the 3 1 and 4th of September, will be upon a scale of unusual splendour, it may not be amiss thus to announce that such amusements are to take place. Those who were acquainted with Aberdovey and tbe country around, and have not seen it since it came into the possession of the present proprietor, Athelustan Corbet, Esq. of Ynysymaengwyn, will feel no less admiration than surprise on contrasting its present improved state with its former barien and rugged appearance. A country so marked with the co- operation of industry and good taste it would, indeed, be difficult to find. The new line of road from Machynlleth to Aberdovey is, perhaps, more striking than any tlii ig of the kind in North Wales : its elevated situation— its excellence as a road— and the fine sea view combined with that across the water into Cardiganshire— exceed any description the pen can give. The road continues 0: 1 to Towyn, giving the traveller the choice of this road or going by way of the fine sands for which Aberdovey has always held its pre- eminence. My admiration . f characters such as Mr. Corbet, who tastefully avail themselves of the nativascenery in carrying on their Improvents, by which at the same time so many poor families are supported, has prompted me to write this.

CORN- EXCHANGE, AUGUST 24. [ faOM TUB 8TANDARD.] There is a very extemive trade in corn this morn- ing, the weather having at length created general alarm for the safety of the harvest. The finest quality of wheat may be qftoted at an advance of 5s. to ( is. per quarter from last Monday, and the inferior qualities fetch 3s. to' 4s. per quarter more than we then quoted The new wheat brought to market varies materially in quality, which may be seen from the great dif- ference in the price, some of the parcels fetching 70s and others as high as 86s. per quarter. In the oat trade an advance of Is. per quarter may be noticed, wiih a moderate trade; hut in bailey, beans, and p » - as, we can at present notice no variation. A great deal depends upon what the day " ill turn out - for should it clear up al all, the prices we have given will l< e heavy.

The last of 170 causes tried at York, was an aclion brought to ascertain vihetlier a will made by Mr. Stephenson, of Beverley, in that County, ill IXvour of Dr. Turtibull, a physician; also residing there, and who attended him on his death bed, was legal and valid. By this will Dr. Turnbtill became entitled to property of the value of £ 30,000, the relations of the testator being alrilost entirely passed over. The persons in possession of the property have refused to give it up, Dr. Turnbilll brought this action to compel ( hem to do so, and the real point at issue was whether the will under which he claimed was valid or not. The amount of properly at staKe and the peculiarity of the ease had excited great interest, in consequence of which the Court was very much crowded. The Attorney- General, Sir James Scarlett, appeared for Dr. Turnbull, having been brought down by a special retainer. The first witness called was Mr. Samite! Dales, a Conveyancer, residing at Hull, who slated that he was applied toon the ( jth of January in the present year, by Dr. Turnbull, to go to Beverley to make a will. He went there the next morning to tbe house of Mr. Stephenson. After waiting some time he saw Dr. Turnbull, who went up stairs, and soon after came down with written instructions about the will. He did not know in whose hand- writing they were ; lie does not know Dr. Turnbull's hand- writing. He prepared the will from those instillations. When it tvas finished he gave the will to Dr. Turnbull, who took it out of the room with him ; he was absent about a quarter of an hour; when he came back he asked if witnesses were necessary. He said that they were, and he would himself be one of them. Miss Watson, the housekeeper, ( who, as well as Dr. Turn- bull, derived considerable advantage from the will), said that her master had great, objections to see strangers, but that she would get Mr. Hodson, who lived in the house, to witness it. Witness then gave instructions and explained in what way the will was to be executed. He did not see either the testator or the attesting Witnesses.— Dr, Turnbull came back in a quarter of an hour with the will executed. The witness, on his cross- examination by Mr. Brougham, said that he knew that it was well for him that he was not an attorney, ( he would probably have been struck off the rolls,) and that lie would never make a will again without seeing the testator. William Young, the next witness, and one of the attesting witnesses of tbe will, is a groom, and at the time when these transactions took place was in the service of Mr. Hodson, of Beverley. He only proved that he put his name to the will without knowing what it was about. Mr. Thomas Bent Hodson, on being called, said he was acquainted with the late Mr. Stephenson; has known him five years; lodged in his house in the hunting season ; during that period has talked upon the subject of the will to defendant's attorney, and has refused to give any account to Dr. Turnbull's solicitor: had a reason for not giving him any in formation, which was, that the obtaining of the will by Dr. Turnbull was a villainous transaction; and also because he wished the case to be heard in Court, Had frequent conversation with Or. Turn- bull ; was requested by him and Miss Watson to wit- ness tbe will ; can't say which of them mentioned it first. Mr. Stephenson was in bed when witness entered the room. Witness spoke to him and asked him how he did ; Mr. Stephenson said " thank you," in a voice almost inaudible. Dr. Turnbull placed the will upon the table, and witness took a pen in his hand and wrote his name. William Young then took the pen and wrote his name ; anil by the time he had written his name William Young's wife came into the room and signed her name. Witness then proposed that Young and his wife should have a glass of wine, which was given them. Mr. Stephenson said " cer- tainly, give them a glass by all means." Dr. Turn- bull then put a pen into Mr. Stephenson's hand, and told him to write bis name, which he did ; he was sitting up in bed, he raised himself up without help ; he did not say a word ; there was no seal on the will at that time, and he was confirmed in that supposition by this circumstance, that Dr. Turnbnll held the will so near to the fire, that if there had been a seal it must have melted the wax. Witness expected that this w ill would have been more in favour of Nancy Watson, and was disappointed. that it was not so. In every place where Dr. Turnbull's name was men- tioned, witness has spoke disrespectfully of him; he attested the will before he saw the testator sign it. Has never said that Stephenson was incapable of making a will ; he thought he was capable. Hejfas never witnessed a will before ; never piit his name to a paper purporting to have the signature of a person to it before it was signed, except in this instance. It was done so suddenly, that there was no time for observation. Witness did not think that it was an ungentlemanly or an absurd act. Miss Watson is about thirty years of age ; has seen her this morning. Has had conversations with William Y'oung on the subject of the will. Witness went over to Campsall with the defendant's attorney to see William Young; heard him examined by Mr. Campbell, the defendant's attorney. In answer to a question proposed with great solemnity by Sir James . Scarlett, the witness said, " Upon my oath, the testator did not sign his name to the will before I wrote my name." William Young was standing behind the witness when Mr. Stephenson wrote his name. Sir JAMFS SCARLITT said, " I am considering, my Lord, whether there will be any use in calling Miss Watson?" Mr. JUSTICE BAYLEY : " I was just going to ask you that question." Sir JAMES SCARLETT admitted that he could carry his case no further. The plaintiff was ronsuited, to the great satis- faction of a most crowded Court.— The effect of this decision will of course be to set aside the will. flltsceUanroiiQ Entclliflcnce. TOBACCO DUTY.— It appears from a Parliamentary paper, that in 17S9, the quantity of tobacco retained for home consumption was about 8,000,000 lbs. and that the duty amounted to about £- 100,000; but in the year 1828, the quantity was 14,000,000 lbs. and the duty alone £ 2,000,000. Our attention was yesterday attracted in Piccadilly to the walls of Devonshire House. We there saw a new material for paving the streets. The experiment is making in part of the duke's mansion with pon- derous flags of slate, instead of stone, extracted from the magnificent quarries belonging to the Earl of Morley, at Saltram, in Devonshire. This slate has peculiar qualities ; it is more durable than stone, and of this a proof is given by producing samples, taken from edifices which existed for ages, and wherein the slate has not been subjected to the same decay as stone ; it is as perfect as ever. Mr. Nash has used it for the roof of the King's Palace, in preference to lead, as was at first intended ; and the government intend to introduce it in the new gaol, which is about to be erected in some part of the county of Middlesex — I. ondon Paper of Thursday. LONDON INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT: August 1!.— Before Commissioners Harris and Bowen.— Wm. Augustus Miles was brought, up for re- examination. Tbe insolvent examined by Mr. Cooke: — I have no means of supporting myself but by my literary attain- ments, I have been employed in deciphering the records in Ihe Privy Council- office, and also in the British Museum, and occasionally in writing for the magazines, though I have not written in tbe latter for the last twelve months. I received the records to decipher from Mr. Greville. During tbe time I was so employed I bad other employment offered, I was at liberty to attend to it.— By Mr. Commissioner Harris:— I was paid quarterly. My income might average about i' 200 per annum. It was fluctuating and uncertain.— Mr. Cooke submitted to the Court that it was quite clear that the insolvent could not be considered as a clerk in tbe Privy Council office. He, therefore, hoped the Court would not. remand his client to re- advertise on account of the description of " gentleman."— Mr. Commissioner Harris said, it was important to preserve the identity and accuracy of the description of an insolvent; the Act of Parlia- ment required it; and such was the impression of Mr. Commissioner Law. If the insolvent had been described by his employment it. would, have been better than calling him a " gentleman." As his learned brother and himse'f entertained a doubt whether tbe case deserved a remand, the Court would in Ibis instance give the insolvent the benefit of that doubt, without intending to e- tablish the decision as a precedent for any future insolvent's styling himself a " gentleman" under similar circumstances.— Tbe in- solvent was discharged. INQUISITION IN PORTUGAL.— The Cheltenham Paper says, Mr. Young's excellent model of the Holy Office ^ t Coimbra, has attracted crowds of our res- dents and visitors to tbe Assembly Rron s, I'll of whom express their admiration of the ingcirb'us man- ner in which the artist reveals the horrid practices of ( hat tribunal of mystery. By removing t ie roof of the building, as Le Sage has supposed Airr. trdcus to have done in Le Diable Boiieux, he discloses tie inferior of iis dungeons, and explains the secret modes of torture practised on those \ rbb had- the misfoMune to fall under the displeasure of the Jnrjuisitors. Jri the present political Mate of Portugal, we cannot wonder at the interest . taken in the exhibition, as limn will probably place this dreadful engine of malice and revenge, id the hands of tbe usurper Miguel. EXETER.— Conrletion if Ihe Bank Rollers.— On Thursday, T. RclHr. soPt E. Broil- r, W. Watson, C. Morris, and E. Young, were found guilty rtf steiiling from the dwelling- house of G. Northy, at DcVonpoi t, in July last, about £ 100 in sovereigns and half- sovereigns, with several other articles. This trial excited considerable interest, from the Circumstance of some of the prisoners having been implicated in robberies and attempted robberies of several country banks. Most, if not all o/ them, are well known under a variety of names, to the police of London and other places. Robinson and Brown were appre- hendenried in April last year, at Truro, on Suspicion of ah attempt Upon the bank of that town. At that time no less than two hundred arid fifty skeleton keys were fourid in the possession of Robinson, who is an excellent whitesmith, and is Represented as having been employed, in making keys for the most of the persons engaged in Ihe bank robberies. Young and Davison were observed reconnoitring ( he bank at Devonport, to which tbe former made his approaches by courting a servant- maid who lived on the premises. While planning ( his a( temp(, the prisoners amused themselves by flying at lower game, hi the present case the Evidence, which Was extremely voluminous, and of a rather complex nature, was cleverly got up. The prisoners watched ' he progress of the evidence with great anxiety, and more than once took the cross- examination of witnesses from the hands of tbe Counsel. The trial occupied the Court nearly ten hours.— Mr. Justice Burrough told tbe prisoners, he had considered with the utmost attention as to the punishment it was his duty to inflict upon them. Had all the matters connected with the case of the prisoner Robinson, which Were within the knowledge of the Court, come before him in the shape of legal evidence, he should have had no hesitation in leaving that individal for executiOh. In order to show the character of the entire party, it was only necessary to say, that Davison, the only member of it who escaped conviction, was a recently returned transport. They should all be sent out of the country for life. EXECUTION.— Ou Wednesday last, DavidStcwait and Catherine Stewart, his wife, convicted of mur- dering Robert Lamont, by administering laudanum to him on board a steam- boat, while on her passage from Tarbert to Glasgow, underwent the last sentence of the law at the usual place of execution in Edin- burgh. The particulars of this dreadful deed were detailed at the time. The object of the culprits w as more plunder than murder, but the dose was so strong as to prove fatal to the unfortunate Lamont. From confessions made by the prisoners subsequent to their conviction, it appears they had pursued this horrid system of robbery for two years, and that two persons certainly, in addition to Lamont, had fallen victims to their diabolical arts. Both prisoners acknowledged the justice of their sentence, and eagerly availed themselves of the religious assistance which was offered lo prepare them for the final scene. At the place of execution they shook hands twice in an affectionate manner, and the unhappy woman expressed a wish to salute her husband, but was told it was impracticable. The man then gave the signal, and they were launched into eternity, both dying without a struggle. Their bodies were afterwards given up for dissection. LEICESTER— Abuse of Power.— Rev. IT. Trim- mer r. Lord Uuntingtouer. The plaintiff, is vicar of the parish ( Buckminster) in which Lord Hunting- tower ( who is somewhat advanced in life, and paralytic) resides; this nobleman, it seems, objected to Mr. T. occupying the parsonage- house, and offered him another living in exchange. His overtures not being accepted, he, in revenge* commenced a series of annoyances, with a view to compel Mr. T. to leave the place; among other nuisances, he bad a pound erected as close as possible to the parsonage, in which all the animals which make the most discordant noises were collected. An anonymous letter was Written to tfie Bishop of Lincoln, complaining of Mr. T. and another letter, of the most gross description, was sent to the mother of one of his pupils, who, in consequence, took her eon away. For the injuries thus inflicted, the action was brought. The Jury, after three minutes' consultation, gave a verdict of £ 2000, being the full amount at which the damages were laid— to the great satisfaction of a crowded court.— The plaintiff is grandson to the celebrated Mrs. Trimmer. THE WALNUT TREE— In a letter on the subject of planting, Mr. Lauder says—" Let me'call the attention of the landed proprietors of ( his and every other county who have planted much, and con- template planting more, to ask why this beautiful tree is not more introduced into your plantations, and upon your estates. There is not a tree in your woods, next the oak, that deserves so much notice and protection, and it seems you know it not. The most indifferent trees are planted in thousands, and this noble plant totally disregarded ; the late war nearly depopulated the kingdom of them for tbe article of gun- stocks ; a proof sufficient of its worth and convertible qualities. Then the beautiful cabinets, and other pieces of furniture that are to be met with in many of the old Baronial residences in the king- dom, sufficiently speak its texture and durability. It has a further claim upon your notice— its fruit. It is not a fastidious plant, it will grow any where. I have met with it from the peak of the mountain to the depth of the valley— on the dry chalk hill to the heaviest clay, and frequently have trees indigenous to the soil beneath it. It is likewise very easy of culture ; whether you grow it from the nut or purchase it from the nursery, they are but a few shillings per hundred. Let me then recommend it to your notice in a most especial manner to you all. Perhaps you will say, we are now too pacific to calculate upon the use of gun- stocks again. This may be true ; but, though the temple of Janus is at present shut, posterity may feel very much disposed to open it, and no doubt will." FLOODS IN SCOTLAND.— The traditionary and historical annals of our country are numerous and wonderful, but in reference to river floods they all sink into the shade, when compared to the 3d and 4th instant, produced by the Spey, the Findborn, and the Lossie, and the tributary streams. The loss of lives has, however, not been so very great as that of property ; but the beautiful vales through which these majestic rivers roll, will not, while the world stands, regain their pristine grandeur. Tbe number of families which have been rendered houseless and destitute is great; hundreds, if not thousands, of acres have been swept away by irresistible torrents; bridges, mills, and machinery have fallen before the tremendous element of water. All communication to the north or south is entirely at an end, unless across the rivers by boats, and along Ihe roads on foot or on horseback. Those fields which were not literally carried off, exhibit the greatest imaginable desolation ; the crops buried with sand and gravel, the ground covered with the wrecks brought down by the waters, & c. The lives of our inhabitants are safe, and llieir houses, with few exceptions, standing ; but our streets are like river channels, anil our gardens like the sea- shore in many instances. How affecting was that scene, where parents were seen in scores carrying off their children on their backs, to the imminent danger of their mutual lives ; c'lildren their parents— parents their children, and the helpless and friendless saved by the exertions of the nearest Christian.

And this love of the mother tongue is spread throughout the Principality. Hence the origin and success of the 44 Cymmrodorion" and 44 Eisteddfodau." Many English people think Ihe Welsh tongue should be suffered to become dead ; hut, ( admitting the general convenience that would result from having but one common language in one small island, and that confusion of tongues was a judgment,) can it be matte r of surprise that there should be those in Wales, its iu England, who desire to cultivate and promote that, with which their infant thoughts and wishes were expressed ? It is interesting to mark the enthusiasm with which a descendant of a warlike and patriotic people descants upon the copiousness, the other faculties ; and that there is a point in erudi- tion, to go beyond which is to be more learned, and less wise. The groves of Academus have beautiful walks and mazes, which if pursued too far lead us back to the point whence we set out. It is not my meaning here to depreciate book- learning or classical education, which is almost exclusively founded on what is erroneously termed book- lore, for if loro be wisdom acquired by learn- ing, it is the last accomplishment: I am persuaded il is the best education, even from the commence- ment ; but not for the knowledge it conveys, for it is of great use w here that acquirement is small, and it is often small indeed, but because it gives a facility of unravelling difficulties, and therefore beauty, the melodiousness, and force of the language prepares the young mind, as you would prepare of his foi( fathers.

ABERYSTWYTH. " The dark blue sea."— BYIION. Unwilling to wear out rods, lines, and hands, by incessant occupation, w e this day visited the delightful bathing place of Aberystwyth. This healthful nnd generally- known resort, ( seated at the continence of the rivers Uhyddol and Ystw y th,) is a clcan, genteel, and regularly- disposed town, in a picturesque situation, & for charming marine prospects scarcely rivalled. T he Pnhlic Rooms, consisting of Ball, Beading, and Billiard Booms, are elegant and commodious; and the hot and cold Baths possess every convenience. The spacious Terrace facing the sea, and the Commanding Castle Walks, arc the cap- tivating parades of beatify and fashion. The surges, at full tide, dashing against the rocks above which the hitter wind, while they astonish the beholder, seem to threaten destruction to the w hole mass. The ocean appears indeed' gradually to gain upon the' site of the Castle Ruins, and ill such a situation what could w ithstand its fury ? The prospect of the Meri- onethshire coast is exceedingly beautiful from this point, while the more distant promontory of Llyn, in Carnarvonshire, appears like an arm embracing the glittering ocean. If retirement be desired, Ihe sloping w alks, on the neighbouring summits, afford it. Than that w hich passes from the rock to the small vale of Clarech, few can be more attractive ; for from thence the view is striking and extensive. Bardsey Island, in a clear atmosphere, ( to the right of which, far inland, Snowdon may sometimes be distinguished,) forms a finish to the scenc northward, while a jutting licad- land below Cardigan, closes it to the south. Can there be a more agreeable transition than from a confined inland view, to a prospect, from a bold coast, of the heaving ocean; w here the sight dilates over land and water, the spirit is exhiliraled by the bracing breezes, and the ear charmed by the sound ing billows? Here is an object for contemplation! Here is a spot whence Fancy may expatiate through her thousand fields! To- day the sea was finely rolling, and at intervals, the shingles, revolving with the receding waves, created a murmuring sound, as though the occan were complaining to the winds for being so rudely tossed. Aberystwyth is rapidly encreasingin accommodation and splendour. A stcam- pai ket has been long spoken of to the Carnarvonshire coast, and doubtless success would attend an enterprise of the kind. What else is wanting to complete its attractions? A Theatre. And this hiatus, it is to be hoped, will shortly he filled up. For, if the solemn have their amusements, let, say I, the gaily- disposed have theirs ! If salt water is a strcngthcner of the constitution, so are the sweet strains of Polly Peachum, and the humorous sallies of Jack Falstaff, Prince Hal, and their cunning associates. How often does the Physician recommend to the invalid to frequent the scenes of mirth and laughter ? concluding with a comic Poet: 44 (' are lo our cr. fBn odds a nail no doubt, • And every gtin so merry draws one out!" Sailing is a principal amusement of the visitors. The yachls are neat; and from the water, the light town, sided by bold and precipitous rocks, with the mouldering castle- fragmcnts iu front, and the rich foliage encompassing Pcn- y- glais, ( the seat of Roderick F. ardley Richardcs, Esq.) constitute an interesting picture. Bathing machines arc numerously arranged o. i the shore. The water is remarkably transparent and pure, in consequence of Ihe pebbled beach. The town is plentifully supplied with fish at a cheap rate by a respectable company.' It is not many years since the humbler natives rejected cod- fish, as being in their estimation unfit for consumption. The present race are better judges! Many Anglers frequent this cheerful abode, and hence make excursions to the Tivy Pools, celebrated for their superior trout. Captain Davies, ofCriggft, is the crack fisherman of the vicinity. It is amusing to notice the ( fleet which a first view of the sea has upon some individual*. One who had caught a glimpse of it through a sudden opening, imagined the white surges were so many sheets hung out to dry ! A Montgomeryshire fanner, standing on tlic shore for the first time, and fixing his eyes on the uniform edge of shingles thrown up by the waves, and probably contemplating the gutters and their confines on his farm, exclaimed—" what a small dam for so lurgc tl body of water!" The following dialogue, which happened a few seasons ago, shews the ludicrous haste which some p- nple make during their visits to the coast 44 for the h- nrlit of their health." " A pleasant place, Aberystwyth, Sir!" " Very- pleasant," replied a ruddy- faced Herefordshire man. 44 You are come for the benefit of your health T pre- sume" " I am, Sir, hut have not long to stay." Have you used the water much?" " Why, 1 have lost no time : 1 arrived yesterday : I have bathed ttrice in the sea, and twice in the warm bath. I have drank the sea and Chalybeate waters: to- morrow I shall ride over to Towyn for a dip in the Welt, and then I'M off'." It, is in contemplation ( o erect a new place of worship here, the present chapel of ease being too small for the great influx of strangers in the season. Walking through the small burying- ground, ( nowhere surpassed in neatness,) my eye caught the following well- penned EPITAPH. if it w ere but to comprehend and relish the reputed animation of their descriptive and soul- stirring Bards! Blaiicv, the Harper who formerly frequented Aber- ystwyth, has retired, and is succeeded by young Careswcll, a promising aspirant. The former I saw some months ago, at his place at Lydbury North, and he then complained of stiff fingers. Of this performer, Griffith Owen, the far- famed Towyn Harper, once remarked that he was 44 a pretty player:" no mean compliment from him who, in his prime, was the Orpheus of his Art. The Welsh Harp is in general only heard in some of the inns or the spacious halls of the richer inhabit- ants of the country. Is it not singular that so few of the better classes c, f the Welsh perform upon their boasted Harp ? Is it neglected because it is the common instrument of the country? Is it conceived that the strains for which it is customary to pay, it would be vulgarity to learn to produce? If such be the conclusion of any, let him or her, to preserve consistency, uevcr attempt a strain of a Stephens or a Braliam Or, rather, is it slighted on account of its difficulty, having, unlike the Pedal Harp, three rows of strings? la dies arc observed day after day seated at their Pianos, and if the same perseverance were brought fo the Harp, surely the same success would attend. It is to be wished that Fashion, who in her freaks is observed to patronize unworthy things, would foster that w hich of all musical instruments ( to my ear at least) is the most harmonious and spirit- soothing; whose strains may be said to speak to, and ( by their complaining) to melt the soul. The country about Aberystwyth boasts some pleasing features. The Vale of Rhyddol forms a fine scene from the summit of the long hill east of the town. Nanleos,- the seat of the County Member ( W. E. Powell, Esq.) and Gogerddan, that of the Boroughs' Member ( Pryse Loveden Pryse, Esq.), are at a plea int distance. Near the latter, by favour of Mr. Pryse, is the Aberystwyth Race Course, beautifully encompassed hy plantations. This gentleman is a first- rate sportsman. He keeps Iwo packs: namely, foxhounds and harriers. The former have a rough country, but it is worse for the horses and their riders. They kill, taking the district into account, a fair number of foxes. Strangers, win- tering at Aberystwyth, occasionally join them. The country is more adapted to hare than to fox- hunting. The huntsman ( Lewis, a native of the country) comes very near to what constitutes a good hare- hunter, as described in Bcckford's entertaining work. He has a ( act of getting over this uneven district with extra- ordinary expedition : he fears nothing, and spares no horseflesh. Perhaps his fault lies, notwithstanding his swiftness in crossing a country, in the slowness w th which he makes his cast. Thcre'is a sporting, picture at Gogerddan, in which this faithful servant is intri duced, w ith a countenance apparently seasoned by the sun and breeze of many a mountain chase. If 44 Nimrod" of the Sporting Magazine were to turn out with M r. 1' ryse's bounds, he would find no fault with their blood and shape. The foxhounds are descended from those of the Duke of Beaufort, and Sir Thomas Mosfyn ; while the harriers are unique. Having had my fishing- rod neatly repaired by a common country joiner, I cannot forbear remarking that the Welsh arc very clever and ingenious mecha nics They have a true eye and a quick apprehension. A man with his knife, formed from an old file or razor, will carve a variety of things with singular neatness and expedition Nor is the Welsh peasant that stupid character which an Englishman is apt to suppose. Far from it : shrewd sense, keen observa- tion, and poignant wit, are blended in him. But lie must have a proper field and atmosphere for display ; which are not, in general, in the presence of stranger. [ TO BE CONTINUED.] MODERN EDUCATION.

I must confess the comparison between those who had only rend books, and those who had only read men, was not so favourable to the former as my partiality to literature would have led me to hope. The book- men were more awful; there was an Egyplian darkness and mystery about them. You had to unravel the hieroglyphics which enve- loped the mummery of their ideas, aud were too often disappointed at the notification ; the unlearned were more really discursive, their converse more redolent of life, more amusing, and equally instruc live. The former reminded von of the Dead Sea, that threw up upon its surface but asphaltum, the scum of burned cities, fathom upon fathom underneath; that would excite your wonder about the places from whence it came, but when you bad gazed at it, and handled it for awhile, you let it drop as of little value. The intelligence of the latter you might compare to a river running rapidly over beds of gold, aud whose very shallowness, perhaps, enabled you to pick it out from the sands.

Oh! the cramming iu, Ihe loading, tbe pressing, the pack- ing of knowledge upon knowledge, now- u- duys, into one poor brain. And still the wonder grew. That one small head should carry all he knew. Goi. nSHITH. Happy, thrice happy they, the cellules of whose memory nature has charitably manufactured, after Ihe fashion of cullenders, to preserve them from intellectual apoplexy. " Knowledge is power," says the cant of the day, and true lo the cant, fashion inundates us wilh it ; till with sapient satisfaction we lift up our hands and say, 44 wisdom crielh in the streets." But it is not so— for were real wisdom to cry till she were ho. irse as a raven, we might be compelled to add, " no man lisletieth." " Knowledge is power,"— but what knowledge, whose knowledge, — what power, whoise power? Power and know- ledge are of two kinds, good and evil. We make the common mistake of adopting the means for the end. The great business of education is to teach to think, in order that we may aet. But the perpe- tually stuffing one's brains with other people's thoughts, till they will hold none of our own, ( for if we have originally any they must be driven out by such a system,) and w iili other people's actions, till we know not how to move our elbows after our own natural fashion, is a strong mark of the small insanity that attends us through life, spoiis with us in a thousand diversities, and, driving us from one folly to another, convinces us of the absurdity of each in its turn, to show us that nothing human is perfect. The puerilities of sonie of the learned prove to us that they have passed Ihe just bounda- ries of their studies, and should have cultivated you put iu the seed, which is afterwards to reward you with a rich harvest— it is then conies taste and a power of thought, which will turn to nutriment the knowledge afterwards acquired. 1 would merely point out the distinction between know- ledge and Ihe education which is to prepare for its reception— between the useA the mere acquirement ad infinitum— betweeuthe child that learns to walk in the go- cart, and the second child that iu it unlearns the proper use of his legs. 1 firmly believe the unravelling Chinese or any other puz- zles, would be more advantageous to the young miud, by its exercise and practice of surmounting obstacles, than it could be to surfeit the memory with ( as it is mis- called) the knowledge of " all the histories of all the empires of the world," all of about as much utility to such a scholar as the repetition from a parish register; while the genius within is dying from inanition ; for it cannot feed upon what you give it— it caunot inwardly digest, nature has not accommodated the means. Yo( i tell your scholars, indeed, of the fruit in the garden, but it is not ripe for them ; they are like the boys ill the frontispiece to Lilly's Grammar ( a malicious invention), who stand under the trees and gape at the ftuit, but it drops not; to which I would suggest as a motto, Mirunturque novas frondes, et non sua poma. VIRGIL, All under knowledge tree do gape and slop ; But not an apple in their mouths will drop. We cram children with crude things they cannot digest, and wonder they never acquire a healthy wisdom. How is it possible that the youth of either sex, at au age before the human p-. issious and feelings that sway the world develope themselves, can in the least understand the characters about which they read, or the events they have produced. A chit of eight years old is catechised about Mark Antony and Cleopatra^-"" All for love, and the world well lost ;" when it ia to be hoped, in our colder climate, it cannot have an atom of au idea a! out the matter;— it will tell you chronologically all the Kings aud Queens of England, when: it should have no thought but about a king and queen of . May. They are learned in Charlemagne when they should only be conversant with Tom Thumb, and are m. re familiar with Semiramis than Cinderr eila We see children muffled up in flannel at home lest they catch a cold, and made to spout fine sentences from Tully, on the contempt of death, or upon the misery of riches, though they are cautiously taught to take care of their money. hey are tricked up like puppets, and made to strut iu the parlour with the apothegms of philo- onlters in their mouths, and the authority of kings, II rebellious nature prompts them to sneak into he kitchen to play with the scullion. And what the wonder if they imitate the honest Scipio, leave lie farce unfinished, take to their heels, and drop the robes of ' be King of Leon, by the way, at the pawnbroker's ? As to sciences, while some may dip into all, it would be much. belter if the generality would con- fine themselves to those that are likely to have a bearing upon their particular callings. But what a young girl ( for instance) who has to learn how to bo ever amusing and amiable, that she may always charm her husband and keep her family in peace, has to do with any other sciences, when that one is so difficult of acquirement, is past comprehension. Is she to. captivate her lover or retain the affections of her husband with Bismuth or Manganese? If he ask for a song, is she to trouble him witji cate- gories; and for a 44 retort courteous" put . the very- words from his mouth into the crucible of her philosophy? Such are like houses ill. ornainented from being overloaded with furniture, and would be better instructed could they throw out and forget half.— But knowledge is a fine thing,— yes truly,— and sometimes more fine than useful, and oftener leaches us to prate than to think And if his loving parents would but burn Master Prateapace's library, uvid send him lo a good sehool, where the master would w hip half the know ledge out, and the boys kick a little other knowledge in, precisely in the same spot, as he does not want parts, he would leally learn to be a man in time, uud think for himself, and not by quotation. He is now but like Aladdin in the enchanted : garden, filling his bosom w ith jewels for fruit which he cannot eat, and when he would get into the upper world, Common Sense stands at the top of the steps, like the black African Magician, ready to knock him on the head for his pains. It is mentioned to the praise of Sir William Jones's mother, that if in boyhood he asked any questions, her constant reply was, 44 read and yon will know ;" it is yet doubtful if it would not have been better to have told him what he asked. His reading in,'. y have cost his genius somewhat of its- boldness that would have given it more vigouf, Shakspeare found 44 Tongues in the trees, hooks in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, nnd good iu every thing The thirst of knowledge, tike every other thirst, leads to intoxication, und weakens the understand- ing'. Hence the world is as full of impertiiieijt studies as of impertinent teachers of them. We are told of a grammarian who wrote some thousand books, and fretted himself to death lo discover where Homer was born, and who was Eueas's true mother; such fopperies as a man should labour to forget if he knew them. Volumes have been writ- ten, and volumes are still, perhaps, in gestation, to settle the exact site of the Laudinre Furcitlae, whether this- or that Luceria were the Roman posi tiou. The learned will never have done crossing the Alps, like emmets over a few mounds in a gar- den, fighting every inch of ground, where Hannibal never fought, and with enemies he never knew, to fix their literary standard ou the Little St. Bernard or Monte Viso. Nay, an Italiau nobleman, attached to a party of the learned, who were at wai fore with another party, about the comparative merits of Tasso and Ariosto, was killed, in his fifteenth duel, & confessed wilh his dying breath that he bad never read either: here, indeed, the infection reached the unlettered. How are men the wiser for trumpery disputes-, these troublesome curio, ities? — They might as well waste their time to settle the point of priority between the poker and tongs, the nose and spectacles. Would the practical spoils- man let the birds fly avfray while he stopped to enquire who first invented gunpowder? We may very well swear 44 by the foot of Pharoah" without knowing its dimensions. Ooe might suppose learn- ing treated her scholars like dogs, by throwing a bone among them, and giving them nothing else to pick. We make a wonderful parade about a little knowledge, and that is none of our own; whereas that alone is good for any thing, which, like our daily bread, we convert into our own substances, and may justly lay claim to as our own flesh and bone; and yet we think ourselves the wiser bs- cause we say Cicero says this and Seneca that; though neither of them could extract from their learning what would cure the head- ache or the heart- ache, Of what use to Cicero was his disc. o-' very— 44 Non enim ista Deus scire sed tuntnmoudo uti voluit."— 44 It is the will of tbe Deity, not that we should know as turn these things to account." We learn Coptic aud Arabic,— that is nothing more than learning to talk with the fingers,— and think ourselves wise. To expect to draw wisdom from all this trash, is to pat Ihe philosopher on ihe back who attempted to extract sun- beams from cucum- bers. Ne quid nimis.— Nothing too far is the condition to which all our studies must be brought. Nature has given us many faculties to improve, and but a short lime for the work, and plainly tells us, by the absurdities we get into, when we go too far with any one of them, and bids us apply to the improve- ment of others, insnnire is the Latin term fur over- fondness in our pursuits. 44 Insanit veteres statuas":— 44 He grew mad for antient statues.' What folly is it lo enquire if there be such thing as hard and soft, bitter and sweet; yet such have been the fooleries of philosophers.' Cue is all for matter, another all for spirit, another with Bishop Berkely goes to prove there is no such thing as anything. There is no absurdity we can think of that excess of study has not given rise to. A man w ho is not content to take the Heavens as he finds them, for seasons and for years, loses his senses amid the arcana of Astrology ; erects his houses of Mars and Mercury, till a 44 shovel and a spade" more speedily work out one for him. The Alchy- mist dies under the hands of the Lithotomist, while searching for the philosopher's stone, and thinks he has it healthy in his brain when it is but a disease in his body. Nay, Religion herself, not allowing the too curious and impertinent research of man, drives him a maniac into the streets, armed in his own fancy, with the thunders of Heaven, a founder of his sect, privileged lo point out every motion and turn of the finger of Providence, though he fait to follow that of a flea. We look at the Sun till we are blind; but if, relinquishing vanity, earthly interest or motive, but with an humble desire to know God's will we seek it, Divine Grace alone will remove the barrier that divides human effort from truth, and opening wide to us the 44 Book of Life," proves indeed that 44 Knowledge is Power." Not such as will make a man acquainted with the bowels of the earth, and the waters beneath, but such as will perform the greater miracle, by lifting him to Heaven. When man was innocent, we may presume that he had a perception of all good. It was the tempt- ation of Satan that made hitn taste the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and he became instantly sensible of pain. His understanding became susceptible of poison, which in a state of health it did not admit ; so that, instead of a teach- able spirit, we bring our taint of arrogance into every enquiry. Thus an old philosopher com- mences: 44 I am going to treat of all things." So modern conceit supposes the urchin knowledge of this its day, is to upset the wisdom of six thousand years. And here vfe are worse than the old philo- sophers, for they did acknowledge that the further they went, they but learued that they knew no- thing; but we are apt presumptuously to think we do, or may, know all things, and become ridiculous iu our 44 March of Intellect," by endeavouring to stride beyond the stretch of our legs. I have rambled, aud perhaps somewhat widely— to return— the drift of the argument is, that know- ledge is not necessarily wisdom, nor is of much value without reflection; and that, therefore, they err in education who stuff the mind at an early age with Ihe knowledge of Histories, events, or facts of any kind, and with Too much book- learning. Youth is not Ihe period of reason or reflection ; but nature has kindly gifted it with a peculiar capacity of surmounting elementary difficulties, and with a memory to retain the result of the victory : ai d this is the foundation for the aftergrowth of reason. But it is mischievous to lay before youth knowledge ( in the sense I have used it) before they have the means of digesting it. And I would further suggest, that the very great importance w e attach to knowledge is mere vanity — we may know a great deal, yet not be wise; may ba familiar with Aristotle, and ignorant of oui- selves. 1 would not be tied to knowledge that has no life in it; nor wed learning upon the condition poor Sinbad took the King's daughter to wife, of being buried alive with her. 1 would compare Ihe temple of wisdom to a beautiful palace, the middle story of which is occupied with a magnificent gallery, furnished with every variety of elegance and taste, statues, pictures, and fair prospects of groves aud gardens. It is manifest you should arrive at this by the grand door, which the archi- tect has intended for your entrance ; aud in this gallery should you remain; but it will be lo yotir * ost if, instead of enjoying that which was furnished for your delight, you will not be contented without scrutinizing the cellars and obscure holes of the substructure, or mounting higher than the gallery, you find yourself in dark closets only iutended to hide the broken lumber in. FREE TRADE— FOREIGN CORN. We are a peculiar people. We have been obliged to contend, almost singlehanded, for all that is dear to us, against a world in arms. Under the conduct of Di vine Providence, we were victorious; but not without suffering at which humanity is grieved, and an expenditure, by reason of which tbe nation must long continue to be heavily burdened. As all classes of the community have partaken of the protection which was thus secured, so all classes must bear their proportionate share of the expense at which it was purchased But that cannot be, if the artisan is per mitted to say to the agriculturist, 44 1 will not eat your corn ;" or if the agriculturist be suffered to say to the artizan, 41 I will not purchase your goods." If the different classes of the community thus make the inevitable burdens of the country an excuse for mutually suspending their dealings with each other, and all give a preference to foreigners, it requires no extraordinary gift of prophecy to tell how such a state of things must end ; and one would think but sniall powers of persuasion would be required to convince those whom it so deeply concerns to know the truth, that a perverse perseverance jn such course must prove the bane of the social system. Would any sine artisan consent to eat forei^ bread, when, by so doing, he contributes to destroy agriculture at home? Would any sane agriculturist consent to wear foreign silk, when, hy so doing, he contributes to destroy a branch of the national trade' Surely not. That would be a suicidal folly. No one could, in the abstract, reason with such heartless and shortsighted cupidity. But if you give the one his choice between a large loaf and a small one, and the other, between a dear article and a cheap one, it is not very surprising that present and personal interest should set at nought abstract, and even national considerations. They may thus be made to counter- mine each other until both are destroyed, and until they resemble the cats, of whom it is told that they fought until their tails alone were left remaining. 44 Oh, but capital may be more advantageously invested !" Prove this, and we shall be satisfied Mind, we do not mean more advantageously a i resptcts the mere accumulation of capital; that were a sorry delusion; that were to make folly an excuse for injustice; but more advantageously as respects an enlightened view of the national interest, which must ever includc a humane consideration of the happiness and well being of the people at large. Prove to us that capital may be thus more advan- tageously employed, and we shall be satisfied. It would, however, be right to provide the means of thus employing it, before we withdraw it from those branches of trade by which it is at present giving bread to thousands ; and in so withdrawing it, it would be no more than equitable to make some pro- vision for the distresses of those upon whom the mutability of trade so often brings penury and starvation. But while we can easily conceive the compensation which aftends a principle of this kind, when its operation is confined within the same coun- try, ( industry of one kind sometimes flourishing even upon the decay of industry of another,) we find it difficulty to imagine, or to admit, that it is a nationally advantageous employment of capital, which consists in setting the looms of Francc at work, and keeping the looms of England idle. More capital may, no doubt, be accumulated in this way for the benefit of the world at large, and more of it will overflow upon the poorest and the cheapest nations. But we are called upon, in the first instance, to take care of ourselves; and capital accumulated by a process which paralyses extensive branches of national industry, is very like the acquisition of a pair of spectacles at the expense of losing our eyes.— Blackwood's Magazine.

The magistrates understanding; that a meeting of the parish had been previously . called on the subject, directed that the girl should tbe^ e be tukeT) into the work- house, and furnished with some in- door employment. We know nothing of a ly previous cruelty practised to drive this g> fioni the roof of her master; but it is an insult to common sense to suppose that without some reat- o. i to be discontented with her situation, she would have adopted so severe an alternative. Is it not revolting to humanity tu think upon a poor child wandering in the piercing season of winter from brake to brake for shelter, with no friend at whose health she could pour forth her complaints, and w ith a consciousness that should she step her foot over the threshold of a human being, she must be led back to the bondage from which she had lied, probably to undergo a severe punishment for her misconduct? There are no two words which can desciilye a being so utterly helpless as the words 4 Parish Apprentice.'' The friendless pauper, a:, soon as she can become in any degree serviceable, is taken from the protection of her parents, and consigned for a number of years to the mercy of any person who is willing to give her employment; or probably her future master is determined by drawing lots : she is taken to her new home, where site must submit to any treatment that is offered ; fir if she complain, a cruel master can generally find persons to overpower her by their testimony ( before the Magistrate*, and she is sent back again to endure additional mortification and suffering till the full period of her hopeless apprenticeship has expired.— U'oolmcr's Exeter <$• Plymouth Gazette. RARA AVIS— Last October, as B. Ince, Esq. of Pnlford, and the Rev. Mr. Burrows, of Doddlcston, Cheshire, were engaged iu shooting in the neighbour- hood of the latter place, they repeatedly observed two robins, whose feathers were milky white, with red breasts, one of them hail some delicate stripes on the wings; and both of these were fighting in company against the assaults of several of the common red breasts, fills is the first time we ever heard of a white robin. RICHARD WILSON, THE LANDSCAPE PAINTER — It was the misfortune of Wilson to be unappreciated in his day ; and he had the additional mortification of seeing works wholly unworthy of being ranked with his, admired by the public, and purchased at large prices. The demand for the pictures of Barret was so great, that the income of that in- different dauber rose to two thousand pounds u- year; and Ihe equally weak landscapes of Smith, of Chichester, were of high value in the market— at the time when the works of Wilson were neg- lected and disregarded, and the great artist himself was sinking, in the midst of the capital, under obscurity, indigence, and dejectiou He was re- duced, by the capricious ignorance of the wealthy and the titled, to work for the meanest of mankind. Hogarth, as we have seen, sold some of his plates for half- a- crown a pound weight; and Wilson painted his Ceyx aud Alcyone for a pot of beer and the remains of a Stilton cheese ! Ilis chief resource for subsistence was in the sordid liberality of pawn- brokers, to whose hands many of his finest works wete consigned wet from tbe easel. One person, who had purchased many pictures from him, when urged by the unhappy artist to buy another, took him, into his shop- garret, aud, pointing to a pile of landscapes, said 44 Why, look ye, Dick, you know I wish to oblige, but see! there are all the pictures I have paid you for these three years." To crown his disappointments, in a contest for fame wilh Smith of Chichester, the Royal Society decided against Wilson. To account for the caprice of the public, or even for the imperfect taste of a Royal Society, is less difficult | hau to find a reason for the feelings of dislike, and even hostility, with which Wilson was regar : ed by Reynolds. We are told that the eminent landscape painter, notwithstanding nil the refinement and intelligence of his mind, was somew hat coarse and repulsive iu his manners. He was, indeed, a lover of pleasant'company, a drinker of ale and porter, one who loved boisterous mirlh aud rough humour: and such tilings are not always found iu society which calls itself select. Of his own future fame he spoke seldom, for he was a modest man ? but when he did speak of it, he used expressions which Ihe world has since sanctioned 14 Beechy," he said, 44 you will live to see great prices given for my pictures, when those of Barret will not fetch one farthing." The salary of librarian rescued him from utter starvation; indeed, so few- were his wants, so simple his fare, and . so moderate his appetite, that he found it, littleus. it w as, nearly enough. He had, as he grew old, become more neglectful of his person ; as fortune forsook him, he left a fine house for one inferior; a fashionable street for one cheap and obscure ; he made sketches for half- a- crown, and expressed gratitude to one. Paul Suiiby tW purchasing a number from him at a small advance of price. His last retreat in this wealthy city was a small room somewhere about Tottenham- court road;— an easel and a brush, a eliair and a table, a hard bed wilh few clothes, a scanty meal'and Ilie favourite pot of porter, were all ll} iil Wilson could call his own. A disgrace to an age which lavished its tens of thoiisunds on mountebanks and projectors, ou Italian screamers, and. men who made mouths at ' Shakspeare.— Cun- ningham's British Painters. A large tumulus, called " The Hollin Stump," ort Asby Scar, which is a boundary mark between the parishes of Asby and Crosby Ravensworth, in West- morland, was opened last Week by the workmen em- ployed in the copper mines there, and in it were found three human skeletons. The tumulus, which is almost entirely formed of stones gathered from the surface of the ground in the neighbourhood, is nearly 200 feet iii circumference, and about eight feet high. The open- ing was begun on tbe east side ; and about two feet from the top of the mound, near the centre, were* found two skeletons, lying together, with their feet eastward, the bones very much dccayed, and by the side of one of them an ancient pocket knife was found, the blade pointed, and about three and a half inches long: it had been made to drive into a wooden handle, the iron hoop of which was also found ; both hoop and blade nearly eaten away by rust. About two feet lower was discovered a rudely- built vault of a roundish form, about four and a half feet in diameter, covered with a large block of soft sandstone, sixteen inches thick, and weighing at least two tons. Under this, embedded in soft clay, which had apparently washed through the loose stones above, was found another skeleton of a large size, supposed, from measuring the leg bones, to have been six feet three inches, or six feet four inches in length. The bones were well preserved, though rather brittle; the skull very large, and nearly three- eighths of an inch thick; the grinders worn quite flat on the top as if those of an aged mau. No armour, or any other thing, was found. The last- mentioned skeleton was lying on its right side, in a bent position. From the circumstance of Hollin Stump being a boundary, it may be inferred that it was in existence before the division of this part of the kingdom into parishes in the reign of Alfred the Great, before A. D. 900. How much earlier theso bodies may have been deposited, it is impossible to conjecture. The name of the tumulus, 44 The Hollin Stump," would lead to the supposition that a holly bush had been there ; but there is now no trace of it, nor any tradition of its ever having existed. Perhaps the name is only a contraction or corruption of the ancient one, which might have a very different signi- fication. A number of other tumuli are in the neigh- bourhood, but they are generally of smaller dimen sions.— Carlisle Pair lot.—[" The Hollirts Tump,' 1 we should think, is the name intended for the tumulus, the definition of which would occasion little difficulty.] RISE OF INDIVIDUALS OF OBSCURE ORIGIN.— The celebrated Italian poet Metastasio was the son of a common mechanic, and used, when a little boy, to sing his extemporaneous verses about the streets. The father of Haydn, the great musical composer, was a wheclright. The father of our own painter, Opie, was a working carpcnter in Cornwall. The parents of Sebastian Castalio, the elegant I . atin trans- lator of the Bible, were poor peasants, who lived among the mountains in Daophiny. The Abbe Hautcfeuille, who distinguished himself in the seventh century, by his inventions in clock and watch making, was the son of a baker ; and Parini, tiie modern satiric poet of Italy, was the son of a peasant. The parents of Dr. John Pridcaux, who afterwards rose to be Bishop of Worcester, were in such poor circum- stances, that they were with difficulty able to keep him at school till he had learned to read and write ; and he obtained the rest of his education by walking on foot to Oxford, and getting employed, in the first instance, as assistant in the kitchen of Exeter College, in which society he remained till he gradually made his way to a fellowship. The father of Inigo Jones, the architect, was a cloth worker. Sir FUlmund Saunders, Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench in the reign of Charles 11. was originally an errand boy at the Inns of Court. Linnteus, the founder of the science of botany, although the son of the clergy- man of a small village in Sweden, was for some time apprenticed to a shoemaker. The famous Ben Jon- son worked for some time as a bricklayer or mason. The late Dr. Isaac Milner, Dean of Carlisle, and Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, was originally a weaver, as was also his brother Joseph, the well- known author of 44 The History of the Church." Of the same profession was also, in his younger days, the late Dr. Joseph White, professor of Arabic at Oxford. The celebrated John Hunter, one of the greatest, anatomists that ever lived, scarcely received any education whatever until he was twenty years old.— Library of Entertaining Knowledge. EFFECTS OF SEASONS.— Seasons arrive and pass away, the general features alone remaining impressed upon our minds; but they often produce conse- quences not commonly expected, and a departed summer or winter has frequently been the cause of some event, which we consider as exclusively occasioned by atmospheric changes, or present temperature. A warm dry summer generally occasions a healthy spring blossom the ensuing year, the bearing wood being ripened and matured to produce in its most perfect state. A wet, damp one usually effects the reverse, by occasioning an abun- dant flow of sap, producing wood find foliage rather than blossom ; anil the follow ing spring, in such cases from the floral vigour being diverted, has generally its blossom weak, and, though perhaps not defective, incompetent to mature the gertuenf. This is mere reasoning upon general conscquences; but so imperfect are our theories, and so many circum- stances counteract the calculations, the predictions'of human wisdom, which can rarely even 44 discern the face of the sky," that results must more often bo looked for than . known.— Journul of a Naturalist. MAGNIFICENT WHITE MOSS BOSK.— There is at present growing at Sleningford Hall, uear Ripon, the seat of. C-' douel Dalton, a beautiful white inpss rose tree, covering upwards of 126 square feet of wall; it has upon it 08( 1 flowers and buds, numelv, 2t4 flowered, 270 iu flower, and 463 buds to flower, all perfect, and as white as snow. It is believed that this plant cannot be equalled in the kingdom, either for its size or the number aud perfection of its flowers. * BANKRUPTS, AUG. 18 -^- Jinnrs Worts, of White, chapel- road, baker..— William Gardner and Elizabeth C'oonihc, of Devonport, milliners.— Chractaeus Dtill- bigney Shillon, of Sneinton, Nottinghamshire, scri- vener.— Thomas Weston', of Reading, linen- draper.— Hubert Pr- ing Snell, of Essex. street, Wliiteclnipel, liolMln- iueichanl.— Samuel l-' ryzer, of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, brick- maker.— John Willis, of Liver- pool, broker — William Hall, of Manchester, porter- denier — William Atkinson, of Cleckhenton, Yorkshire, wnolstnpler.— John Mnrbrook Benskin, of Margaje, builder.— Thomas Wilson, of Cambridge, jewrllvr:— Itichnrd Leigh, nf Manchester, cotton spiuuer.— Wil- liam Anderson, John Anderson, aud William Tail, of Leeds, linen- drapers.— William Wnite, of Bramley, Yorkshire, clotb. inannrnctnrer.— Willinin Walker, of Manchester, nioney- sci ivener.

The old adage, 44 when the cat's away the mice will . play," was fully exemplified at Union Hjill, ou ' Fi/ esday. A young nam named White, a journeyman shoe- maker, was examined, charged with be ng in the bouse of Mr. Rose, of Brixton Hill, for improper purposes. It appeared that Mr. Rose and his family went to the. sea- side for change of air, leaving the house in the care of a man named Raper. Mr. Rose, having occasion unexpectedly to come to town on Monday night, was not a Tittle astonished to find his house lighted up, in the most brilliant manner, and sounds of music and revelry issuing from the drawing room and parlour., the windows of which were all thrown open, aud the house filled with people. He could not believe it- was his own house, and was only certified . of the fact , bv going to the door and reading his name upon a brass plate. On knocking at Ihe door, it was opened by a young fellow, gaily dressed, who refused to admit him without a ticket'. The matter was now soon explained. Raper hail invited a large party of friends, and, hearing his master's voice, rushed among the revellers, exclaiming 44 it's all up!" The scene of confusion that ensued was laughable iu the extreme— the ladies, fearful of the tread- mill, threw themselves on their knees, beg- ging for pardon, whilst the gentlemen, boys, girls, & c. ruslied down stairs, falling over each other in their attempts to escape. It was some time before Mr. Raper's inwilecl wisitors were turned out; but White became very 44 bouneeable," and said he should not leave the house, as he was to sleep there with his wife. lie and Raper were subsequently secured in the watch- house; but having 44 lowered his crest" before the magistrate, and acknowledging bis error, White was lot off witji a reprimand; aud Mr. Raper was discharged both from durance vile and from his master's service.
