A ropy of the Treaty of Peace, between Russia and Turkey, which was signed at Adrianople, on ' tbe. 14th, had reached tbe Turkish capital, and has, we understand, been trans- mitted in Sir Robert Gordon's dispatches.— The Treaty does not contain any such Condition as that which has been meiitioneJl in the French Papers, namely, that the passage of the Bosphorus shall be open to the vessels of all nations at peace with Russia arid the Forte. On that head, it merely stipulates that there shall be a free passage to the Black Sea, for the vessels of all nations at peace wilh the l ortc, without making any reference to the relations which may at the time subsist between such nations ar, d Russia— Ihe dispatches'have been for- warded to the Earl uf Aberdeen, who is at Windsor, where his Majesty holds a Council to- day. The official accounts of the last year's revenue made up to the lOtli instant, have been published. The deficiency in the excise upon the last quarter is £ 400,000. The Standard says—" The defalcation on the year ( excluding the suspended duties fraudulently brought into the January quarter) would be. more than a million.— The revenue of the last two years is not balanced, but a positive decrease of £ 146,422 on the present year stands al the foot of the comparative table.— And this decrease appears) let it be remembered, notwithstahding the enormous amount of the corn import duty, proved by the un- heard of increase of the customs in the last, the corn importing quarter— an increase of ONE MILLION THREE IIUNDRID AND TWENTY- TWO THOUSAND FIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS abo+ e the July quarter; about 25 pi r cent, upon the gross slim sent out. of the country for ever in exchange for food, the greater part already Consumed— a per centagc, moreover, of about five in Ihe hundred upon the ruinous loss to the British farmer."

Daniel O'Connell has got into an awkward dilemma as to the representation of the county of Clare, lie has engaged distinctly lo support Mr. O'Gorman Mahoti and Major Macnanmra as candidates for the representation, in the event of a General Election. He also intends to offer himself again!— Clare, of course, returns but two Members; and here are three candidates! O'Connell has promised to support two of fhem, and pledged himself also to come forward as a third!— How will this pretty affair end ? The 3d Light Dragoons, at Sheffield Barracks, have received an order to commence wearing mustachios. On Saturday last, a quantity of meat, unwholesome as food for man, exposed to sale in our market, was seized and destroyed by the proper officers.— Several persons were last week fined by the Magistrates, for not having carried the filth from a privy so far into tfie liver as to be completely and effectually carried away by the stream.—" Yesterday, several boys were fined by the Magistrates, for gambling ( playing at pilch and toss, & c.) on the Sabbath- Day.— We under- stand that the Magistrates are determined to punish offenders against the law in these cases with the utmost rigour. Last week a man, w ho went by the name of John Leintwardine, and who was employed by Mrs. Phillips, of Aslley Abbots, near Bridgnorth, to galher fruit, ( laving ascended a pear tree, the branch on which lie stood gave way, and he . was precipitated to the ground from a height of twenty- two feet, which caused instant death.— He was in the 59lli year of hi » age; and, when but a few days old, he was found in a basket in the church porch of Leintwardine, in Herefordshire, from which circumstance he was called by the name of Leintwardine. Atli is last audit day, T. A. Knight, Esq. of Dowfiton Castle, generously allowed his tenants a deduction of 10 per cent, from their rents ; and observed to them, ( lint lie had always instructed his steward, Mr. Tench to let them his estates at 10 per cent, below their fail- value ; but that times had proved worse than he had anticipated, and therefore, as last year, he should niirke an additional allo » » » e « of lo |> er cent. He also assured them, that, however bad times may be in future, if they would manage their farms well, he hould be content to receive whatever rents Mr. Tench thought they could afford to pay, consistently with their families living comfortably. This com- munication was received with all those manifestations of grateful satisfaction it was so peculiarly calculated lo inspire.— Hereford Jovrnal. The following article, dated Ihe 30th ult has ap pcared in the London Papers:—" The system of sending circulars by the several hop- merchants to their respective customers, which is generally adopted at this season of the year, for ( he purpose of giving information respecting the crop of hops, being much complained of by many persons living in the country, it has been determined by a large portion of the merchants, in compliance with what ( hey think will be more satisfactory, to discontinue the practice, and, in lieu thereof, annually to address the information through the medium of the public papers. On the present occasion there is but little to communicate It. is well known, that for the last four months the plantations have been very seriously blighted, and it is now quite certain that a very short crop must be the result. The duty is estimated at £ 34,000. About two- thirds of the crop is picked, and in most instances put into pockets. A part, but it is expected to be only a small portion of the crop will, no doubt, be good in quality. CURRENCY. MARRIED. On the 15th tilt, al Llandyssil, by the Rev. E. James, Rees Jones, Esq.

[ From the Cambrian.] The Meeting of the County of Pembroke, convened by the Sheriff, took place on Tuesday last, at Haver- fordwest, for the pui^ iose of taking into consideration the alterations proposed to be made in the Welsh Judicature. It was most respettalily attended. The meeting being opened, JOHN MIREIIOUSE, Esq. of Brownslade, rose, and proposed certain reso- lutions, to the effect, that the consolidation of coun- ties would be most prejudicial to, tbe intei;^ of the Principality, and that the removal of the Assiaes from Haverfordwest to Carmarthen, would prove of great expense and inconvenience eo tbe inhabitants of this county, and for which no adequate compensation can be suggested; and that, entertaining strong feelings of attachment for the ancient institutions of the The Reverend and Worshipful JAMES THOMAS LAW, Clerk, A.

To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SIR,— Looking on the amusement afforded by the Crania as the most rational and intellectual that enlightened people can enjoy, I am most happy echo the opinion expressed by you at the commence- ment of ( he season, respecting the talent and respect- ability of the present Corps Dramatique, and most cordially join with the frequenters of the Theatre in giving Ihe due meed of praise to the Manager for his unwearied zeal and exertions. Yet, Sir, I cannot refrain from troubling you on a subject that is malter both of J egret and surprise. Noted, as Shrewsbury has long been, for a Theatrical Spirit, which has beeii cherished by tbe most ardent desire to deserve the encouragement so generously afforded— with a Ma- nager who spares neither pains nor expense to gratify his Patrons— wilh all this— why should what is most material he still wanting >— a Theatre well situated, with the means of giving effect to the Performances, and affording comfort and accommodation to the Audience. The prejudice against the old Theatre is so strong, that Mr. B. must look upon the sum expended on its repair and embellishment as wholly lost ; and I fear that any endeavour on his part to render the present Theatre what it ought to he, will be unavailing. But I hear, Mr. Editor, that some spirited individuals see these things in the same light that I do, and have resolved that this one thing wanting shall be supplied, and that a Theatre worthy of the Town should be built. I am aware that their example will be followed by more than a sufficient, number, the moment their determination obtains pub- licity.

SIrewslury, YMh October, 1829. country, the Meeting views with alarm the attempt to subvert the Jurisdiction, and submits that its defects should be reformed, rather than the whole be abolished. In support of these resolutions, the Learned Gentleman entered minutely into the privi- leges of the inhabitants of the Principality, of having justice administered cheaply, and at their own doors, without resorting to Courts of great distance from I hem, and pointed out the very heavy expense that jurors and parties would be subject to in being obliged to travel to Carmarthen from distances in sOme places of Pembrokeshire of about 50 miles, and the unavoidable increase of county- rates in tlie con- veyance of prisoners, witnesses, & c. to Carmarthen. He then took an extended view of our Jurisdiction, its particular advantages and disadvantages, and evidenced that, with a few alterations, it might con- tinue to exist with benefit to the inhabitants in general, and that no necessity appeared for its abolition. The motion was seconded by THOMAS LEttis, Esq, of ClyriView. ' I ' . Vf ' i ^ r Earl CAWDOR then rose, and after regretting that intimation was not given him till then of the resolu- tions to be proposed, gave his decided negative to both of them, and urged that the time was come when this Jurisdiction, which was radically bad itself, must of necessity be abolished ; that from ic inefficiency of both Bench and Bar, no justice could be expected to be administered to the inhabit- ants of the Principality, and that such being the case was but proper that the advantages which the' English people possessed should also be extended to us. He then suggested the propriety that all causes hich should arise within the Carmarthen circuit should be tried at Carmarthen, that jurors should be summoned from the three counties, that two Courts should beheld— the one for the trial of civil cases and the other for criminal ones, that the number of jurors from each county should not exceed half the number now summoned, that from such a mode of procedure impartial jurors would lie found, which now Unhappily, his Lordship observed, did not exist, as it often happened that the jurors went into the box with a knowledge of the facts, and a strong bias con- sequently on tlieir judgments. His Lordship then adverted to some observations contained in the evidence of Mr. Jones before tbe Law Committe • elative to a case of equity on the Brecon circuit, and stated that those observations were - entirely erro- neous, and after again asserting the necessity of a speedy change in our Jurisdiction, concluded a very eloquent speech ; which was answered by JOHN EVANS, Esq. of St Martin's, who, in the happiest strain of pleasant raillery, confuted his Lord- ship in almost every point which he had attempted to sustain. It is with extreme regret that we are unable to give his speech in full. " Suffice it to say ( says our correspondent), that it was one of tbe finest specimens of oratory that was ever heard within our Hall, and it no doubt must have brought home con. viction to the mind of his Lordship, that our pro- vincial bar is not of that inefficiency with which his Lordship had previously attempted to persuade the assembly. For the proofs which Mr. Evans adduced support of the beneficial effects in our present system of Welsh Jurisprudence, we cannot hut refer to Ihe evidence given by him before the Law Com- missioners, which was at once cogent, strong, and conclusive in its favour. In reference to the various memorials presented m favour of an abolition, Mr. Evans remarked that those which came from Gla- morganshire and Cardiganshire were most surprising. It put him in remembrance of a certain Judge, who, possessing little knowledge of his own profession, and none of any thing else, had the fortune, however, of having the assistance of a very learned brother Judge, and on any case being argued before them, used to consult bis learned brother, and immediately say, ' My judgment is for the plaintiff,' or, defendant*, as the case might be, ' but my brother will state the reasons.' Similar was the case with the Glamorgan shire Magistrates, who met in batches, and although tlicy unanimously agreed as to an abolition, yet they could go no further, but refer for their reasons to the pamphlet of my Lord Cawdor. Tbe same mode was pursued by certain persons calling themselves the principal inhabitants of Cardiganshire, but who, on enquiry, turned out to be of the most insignificant note; they were of opinion that the Jurisdiction should be abolished, but for their teasons they also begged leave to refer to my Lord Cawdor's pamphlet Another person, observed Mr. Evans, calling himself R. B. Williams, but who is my Lord Cawdor's steward, had presented a memorial signed by eight of the Inhabitants of Carmarthenshire, praying for an aboli- tion but who, like the preceding ones, begged to refer for their reasons to my Lord Cawdor's pamphlet. And these are the persons, continued Mr. E., on whose testimony tbe Jurisdiction of our Courts is lo be abolished, who, having no minds of their own, are fain to call in the aid of a work in which the most palpable errors appear. In conclusion, he gave the resolutions his most cordial support. His speech, which was a mastcr- piece of its kind, gave universal Satisfaction, and he sat down amidst the most tre- mendous cheering." < Sir RICHARD PHILIPPS, Bart. M. P observed, that he would always resist the innovation intended to be made, as he conceived them to be such as would prove of the greatest injury to the inhabitants generally. JOHN HENSLEIGH ALLEN, Esq. and HENRY LEACH, Esq. spoke against the resolutions at some length, but chiefly reiterating the arguments adduced by Lord Cawdor. The Rev. Mr FFNTON, of Fishguard, spoke also against the resolutions, and compared our Jurisdiction to Lampeter College, and to an old highway, on which rough stones had been suffered to exist for nearly 300 years. Such metaphors were received with convulsive laughter, and the Reverend Gentle- man sat down somewhat Chagrined at the laugh against him. VV. H. SCOURFIELD, Esq. warmly supported the resolutions. The cry of question having become general, a division took place, when there appeared seven per- sons ( including Lord Cawdor) against the resolutions, and the remainder, consisting of from two hundred to Ihree hundred, were for them. HUGH O. OWEN, Esq. M P. said his opinion was entirely in favour of the resolutions then adopted, and he should feel it his duty, as one of , the repie sentatives of the County, to' support them in that assembly of which he was a Memtxr, whenever the question was brought forward. Thanks were voted to the Sheriff, on the motion of Earl Cawdor, and the meeting dispersed. MURDVR!— On Tuesday morning last, a respect able. aged widow, named Mary Cavenaugh, who resided in a detached house at Penmaen, Gower, in the county of Glamorgan, was discovered barbarously murdered in the garden in front of her dwelling, and Ihe premises robbed. On Wednesday tn inquest was held on the body before Charles Collins, Esq. Coroner, and a highly respectable jury when it appeared in evidence that the last time tbe , deceased was seen alive was on Saturday evening about, five o'clock, near her house, and that on Sunday it was observed by the neighbours that the window curtains were drawn, and they remained in the same state on Monday, but this did not excite any alarm, as it was considered that the deceased was gone from home, as she sometimes did. On Tuesday morning the window curtains were observed to be still closed, and two female neighbours, fearing that the deceased might have died suddenly, proceeded to the premises, where they found the garden gate fastened, and oil getting over it, they discovered the unfortunate woman lying dead in the garden, near tbe front door of the house. They alarmed the neighbours, and the Rev. John James, the Rector of the parish, and several others, immediately repaired to the spot, where the body was found lying as before stated, the face downward, and the head towards the door, and the hands under the body. The head was very bloody, and there was a collection of congealed blood under the face, and some of the blood, from a frightful wound on the back part of the head, had flowed nearly three yards from the body, and had formed another collection. On the examination of the head and taking off the cap, a considerable portion of the brain was found lodged in it, together with a quantity of congealed blood ; there were also two severe contused wounds on the left side of the back part of the head, which appeared to have been inflicted with some blunt instrument, and part of the bone beaten into the brain. On proceeding into the house, the front door was found closed on the latch only, with the key in the lock on the inside ; and on going into the room where the deceased usually lived, they found the larger drawers of a chest of drawers partly open, and the contents appeared to have been ransacked ; the two smaller drawers of the same chest of drawers were on the floor, and appeared also to have been searched. There was a small round table near the fire- place, upon which a Testament was lying open and a pair of spectacles on if. On a chest near the drawers there was a candlestick ( the candle in which was half burnt, and from the state of the wick appeared to have been blown out), and also the iron handle of a fire- shovel, by which the lock of one of the drawers appeared to have been forced ; the oilier drawers were unlocked by a key which was found on the chest. On a further search of the room, in the presence of the Coroner and Jury, there was found in a large oak chest ( which was locked, and did not appear to have been searched) seven sovereigns, a Bank of England note for £ 20, and securities for several sums of money, amounting in the whole to £ 126, with some plate ; and it is conjectured that the wretch who committed the horrid deed has not obtained anything of much value, with the exception of two watches, which it is stated the deceased possessed, and which were generally hung over the mantel- piece, and which could not be found. The perpetrator of this horrid murder was unknown ; but it was hoped that evidence would be produced before the adjourned inquest, on Friday last, that might lead to his conviction.

THOS. KENTON, President. WHIG CLUB.— On Friday last, the members of the Whig Club of Chester and adjacent counties, held their annual meeting, being the ninth anniversary, at the Royal Hotel. At five o'clock fifty- two gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner prepared on the occasion by Mr. Tomlinson; George Toilet, Esq being chairman, and G. W. Wood, Esq. vice. The principal speakers were the chairman and vice, Earl Grosvenor, Rev. W. Shepherd, Rev. Edward Stanley Mr. Cunlift'e, Mr. Ralph Leicester, M. P. Mr. Swan wick, Mr. C'oltingham, Mr. Fletcher, of Liverpool and Mark Philips, Esq. Mr. Cunlifife was appointed chairman, and Mr. Cottingham, vice- chairman for the next meeting, which is to be called by special notices, at the discretion of the committee, which may be considered a virtual dissolution of the club.— Chester Courant. MINIRTERXAI. OCCUP* TIOS— On Friday after noon the Right Hon. Home Secretary amused himself for some time with viewing the caricatures at a sho|: in Henrietta- street, Covent garden. At some of them lie laughed heartily ; but the one that attracted most attention was a picture entitled " Spinning Bobby. This represents the most Illustrious Personage in the kingdom at one end of a table, and a person very I ke the Duke of Wellington at the other end of it. There is a top on the table spinning away right merrily, and seated on it, with legs in an extended and regularly lly away condition, a Right Hon Genlleman, very similar in appearance to the Home Secretary previously to the late Mr. Canning's Ad ministration. The figure exclaims—" At what a rate I spin." Mr. Peel also laughed at this picture little. The personages seated at the table appear to be most heartily enjoying the little Orange- looking gentleman's spinning.— Morning Herald. SWINDLING.— It appears that Mr. But hurst, alias Beauclerk, alias Chichester, alias Willoughby, alias Denison, has been sending orders for goods to some tradesmen of Worcester, but as he was not " unknown to fame," those who were honoured with his orders declined to execute them. Mr. Warwick, linen- draper, High- street, was one of tbe persons who re- ceived an order; the goods were directed to be sent to Leominster. Mr. W. immediately gave information . to a person in London, who had been defrauded by a similar order; the latter in consequence came down, and it was agreed that a parcel ( not containing goods of any value) should be sent to Leominster, as directed, in the hope that when callcd for, the swindler might be secured. We have not heard the result.— Gloucester Journal. CAUTION.— We fear the following is only one of innumerable cases of imposture which daily occur, and hv which the stream of bencvolence is constantly diverted from its proper channel. Friday se'nnight, a young female, named Mary Ann llcymes, not more than eighteen years of age, made an appeal to the charity of an inhabitant " f Gloucester, detailing a pitiable case of distress, and stating that although utterly destitute herself, she had taken the charge of four orphan children, whom she was conducting from Plymouth to the place of their settlement at Coventry. Some circumstances in the girl's statement aroused the suspicion of the person to whom she applied, who desired to see tbe helpless children she hail described, and accompanied her some distance with that inten- tion, but upon the girl being taxed with imposture she at length unwillingly confessed that the whole tale was a fabrication. She was very properly im- mediately taken into custody, and on an investigation of the case at the Tolsey, 011 Friday last, she wa9 con- victed as a rogue and vagabond, but in consideration of her youth and tbe imprisonment she had already suffered, she was adjudged to only four days' con- finement to hard labour. FATAL ACCIDENT.— On Friday an inquest was held at Malpas, before Faithful Thomas, Esq Coioner, on view of the body of John Jones, a resident in that town.— The deceased, who had left home 011 business, in the previous week, was found, about five o'clock 011 Monday morning, lying at the bottom of a precipice near a lime- kiln, at Doddington, by a man who was going with a team for lime. When discovered, the poor fellow appeared almost in a lifeless state ; and Mr. George Gretton, surgeon, of Whitchurch, who rendered him every possible assistance, ordered him to be conveyed home on bed, in a cart. He lingered in a state of great agony until Wednesday afternoon, when he expired.— On examining the body, it was discovered, that he had suffered a compound fracture of his right collar bone; four nf his ribs were broken, and had entered the lobe of the lungs, on the right side, which brought 011 inflammation and gangrene. — Verdict, accidental death. CLERICAL TRANSPORTATION.— The Scotch have an oiid way of expressing themselves occasionally, at least to u southron" ears. Tuesday's Gazette contains the presentation of a clergyman to the parish of Telling, in the comity of Forfar, vacant by the transportation of the preceding incumbent. Who, born on this side of the Tweed, would con- ceive the removal in qiiestiou to be simply a prefer- ment to a better living? In Conformity with the last Resolution, the Stewards ( through their Chairman) have requested the Honourable THOMAS KENYON to do them the Honour of being President upon this Occasion, and WILLIAM ORMSBY GORE, Esq. of being Vice- President ; which Gentlemen having accepted those Offices, the stewardt, Sir ANDREW COItBET, Bart.

TULIP TREF.— In the neighbourhood of Calcutta, and all over India, the tulip tree is as common as the poplar is in Britain. But it is different in our northern cliine, and though tire plant is sometimes met with in first- rate shrubberies, we are only aware of a single instance in which this exotic has reached any thing like its natural dimensions, and Is annuailv seen covered with myriads of flowers. A more glorious object it is impossible to conceive, and words would fail us if we attempted to express the deep— nay, the thrilling sensation of pleasure with which we lately gazed on a tulip tree at Cally. Its stern is as ( hick as an ordinary plane; its foliage still more beautifully rounded, while every second or third leaf is gemmed with a flower that may well be called a tulip. The magnificence of such an object, studding an open lawn, with Portugal laurels fringing its margin, limpid waters below, and bright skies above, may be easily conceived, and is well worthy riding a dozen niiies to see. The tulip tree at Cally is thirty years oldy add has thriven not the worse that it has been twice transplanted. For three years it has flowered in succession— a very rare circumstance in Scotland. Even its leaves are beautiful and remarkable, and we plucked one at random, which resembles in shape a saddle- cloth, and measures eleven inches by ten.— Dumfries Courier.—[ Upwards of forty years ago, says the Farmers' Journal, we saw a tulip trie at Waltham Abbey, in Essex. It was as large as a fulk grown walnut tree; and was one of three at that time in this kingdom.] The cultivation of Indian corn has been carried on in th is neighbourhood, by way of experiment., to a considerable extent. The finest we have had atl opportunity of noticing, is grown in the garden of Mr. Charles Hale Jessop ; it ripens quicker than the corn introduced by Cobbett, and the plant is larger and more productive; and being planted by the side of a patch of Cobbett's corn, the difference is observable to the disadvantage of the latter. Mr. Jessop may lay claim to the merit of having cultivated the corn be- fore Mr. Cobbett, and notwithstanding the Wetness of Ihe season, there is every prospect of the grain which he recommends coming to perfection — Cheltenham Chronicle. The " absorbing question" of last session was eminently useful to the enemies of " retrenchment and economy." The consequences of the sudden and violent death of the " Finance Committee," by the " seasonable squabble" between Messrs. Herries and Huskisson, were never repaired by the formation of another. The « liberal1' papers, since they have become the panegyrists of ministers, are careful not to advert t6 the subject. Their admiration of the principle of economy has been supplanted by their admiration of the efficacy of an uncontrolled government. They would not have ministers embarrassed by nice calculations of retrenchment, or the countrv made unhappy by its being supposed that every possible saving is not made in the profuse expenditure of the state.— In fact, the " liberal public instructors," that used to cry out incessantly against the wastefulness of the " system," no longer direct the eye of invidious RY MR.

They are all engaged in a rivalry of adulation to the present dispensers of pensions and sinecures. We have always borne testimony to the splendid services which the Duke of Wellington has rendered the country, and we did so at a time when some of those who indulge in the most servile flattery to his grace at present, and seem ambitious to be distinguished for superior sycophancy, exhausted upon him the language of low invective, coupling his name with those statesmen whom they elegantly described as a " bully and brute administration." Then, however, Mr. Canning was the lord of the ascendant, the idol of the Liberal Press; he was to be exalted and the Duke of Wellington to be abased. The Duke was then out of place, out of royal favour, powerless in all the splendour of his fame, and, in tbe opinion of those who abused him, likely to continue so. He is now in a situation that commands all the patronage of the state, all the resources of the nation. He has it in his power to reward the services of those who make him the god of their present political faith ; therefore they who deified Mr. Canning now adore the duke. Admiring, as we do, his great military talents, and incapable of separating the recollection of his actions from the glory of England, we cannot, at tbe same time, venerate so highly his civil virtues, or the wisdom of his government. He has certainly not redeemed the pledge which he gave in the beginning of his administration, of carrying into effect the principles of retrenchment and economy. He does not abolish sinecures when they fall vacant, any more than his predecessors did. He has allowed Russian policy to get a most fearful ascendancy in Ihe affairs of Europe; and, though he has got rid of Mr. Huskisson from the councils of the government, he has not taken any steps to get rid of the principles of his " philosophy," and his " free trade," which have brought so much mischief on the country as can be but poorly compensated for even by her military glory.— Morning Herald. The Borough of Newark has been the scene of much bustle during the last fortnight. The Duke of Newcastle has a large property in" the borough, and gave his interest to Mr. Sadler on the occasion of that gentleman's election : many of the Duke's tenants, it would appear, voted in opposition to Mr. Sadler, and for Serjeant ' Wilde: in consequence, thirty- seven of them received notice to quit. This proceeding in- duced the opposition party to call a public meeting; at which Serjeant Wilde attended, and, of course, dealt out his invectives against the conduct of the Duke of Newcastle and his agents, and eloquently- set forth his own claims to the future support of tbe electors. The Duke of Newcastle was also invited to attend this meeting ; but in answer to the invitation he sent the following letter: " Clumber, Sept. 28,18- 29. " SIR—- I am much obliged by the complimentary manner in which you have invited me to attend your meeting on the 5th of October, although, upon reflection, I think you must perceive that it would be utterly impossible for me to attend a meeting of the nature described in the printed advertisement. " If I rightly understand the objects of tbe requisitionists, it s to assert the cause of freedom ana independence. No man on earth values both more than I do. But as I respect the liberty of others, so must I demand that others shall not attempt to interfere with that freedom and independence which is my right as well as theirs. According to my interpretation of the advertisement, you meet to deliberate upon an interference between my tenants and me. Is it presumed, then, that I am not to do what I will with my own ? or that I am to surrender my property, and tbe Inherent rights belonging to it, into the hands of those who desire to deprive Hit' of iI > This is tiie simple question ; to which I answer, whilst the lawsof England exist and are respected, I shall permit 110 clamour, nor threats, nor even force itself, to deter me from doing what I think tit with my own property. " My advice to those who deceive themselves with the notion that they are acting as becomes fiee- born Englishmen, is to maintain the well- balanced scale of eveu- handt- d justice, and not blindly to engage iu au unjust crusade against any man ot men ( especially when those men themselves are the real friends of genuine freedom and the constitutional rights of the people), merely because they may be the possessors of title or property.' Your invitation to the meeting is made with so much polite, ness, that I have replied to it as it deserves.

The following is .* tn extract from it:— " High rents are at litis hour the great palpable evil. The immediate causes that induce apalhy, disease, idleness, and crime in Ireland are the exor- bitant reifts. This has been ( lie Origin of the Rockite system, of the Levellers rind White. bbys, of the Hearts of Steel, of the Night Boys; and of the insurrection iu Limerick— In 1821 thfc landlords of Ireland exported six millions' worth of food, while Ihe people tf ere starving and England subscribing £ 300,000 for their relief; in 1826, 60,000 persons ( a third of the popu- lation of the city of Dublin) passed through the fever hospitals. Messrs. Foster, Dickson, & Strickland have distinctly stated before the '-' migration Commit- tee, that the rent exacted in T. c western districts cannot be paid out of the land, but is in general paid by money made in England by the tfi'igraiing peasantry.— The imports of English manufacture, partly made up by the poors' rate, indicate the decline of Irish manufacture; and existing facts bear out this assertion. The linen trade is rapidly de- clining in Ireland; for the import duty upon linen yarn from tbe Baltic ( three- fourths Of that manu facture where food is at the rate of ten shillings an acre) is but half a farthing a pound, whilst tin import duty ujion but one- half of ( he English slaplfc is Is. 3d. a pound 011 cotton twist, and is. 7d. 011 woollen yarn. The silk and labinet trades of Dublin, which once maintained a most comfortable and respectable body of artisans; are utterly des'troj'eil; and, since tbe epeal of the transit duties, thirty of the most eminent wotillen manufacturers in that city have been ruined. Domestic manufacture is no more. As Mr. Dawson Remarks, Ihe comfortable stuffgown, fhe home manu- facture of the female peasant, is supplanted by the idle and meretricious calico of Manchester. I have examined the bankrupt and insolvent calendar of Dublin, which brands with folly the assertion that Ireland is improving. It is most Certain that high rents are extorted by O, 000 police and 36,000soldiers. Prosperous and happy Ireland! The remedy is sim- ple. Let the law iu Ireland, as in every civilized country of the world, compel the man who creates ihe misery to assist in mitigaling it. Let a rate for the employment of the people in public works be imposed, proportionate to the idleness or poverty produced by the desertion and rapacity of the ab- ntee. Since the peace three famines have yvept Ireland. " We will now consider the remedies which may with facility be applied by Government ( as it has all the machinery at hand) to render the people of Ire- land producers of food for England, and, in return, active purchasers of English ttianfactures. Every civilized state in the world, except, Ireland, has pre- vented the extortion of the landlords by institutions, either springing from the nature of society or estab- lished by positive legal enactments. In Austria great exertions are made for the poor; in Bavaria there are laws obliging each community to maintain its own poor; in Protestant Germany they are even better provided for; in Russia the aged and infirm are provided with food and raiment by law, at the expense of the owner of the estate; in Livonia and Poland the lord is bound by law to provide for the serf; in Northern Italy and Sicily the crop is equally divided between landlord and tenant; in Imperial France, though the land bad been divided by an Agrarian law, and cultivated, yet the Octroi, with other revenues, were devoted to the poor; Hun. gary, though feudal slavery gives an interest to the lord of the soil in the life of his serf, yet the law insists upon the provision of food, raiment, and shelter; in Switzerland, though the Agrarian law is in force, and the Government purchase corn to keep down the retail prices, yet there is a provision for the poor; in Sweden, the most moral country in the world, the poor arc maintained in the same manner as in England, a portion of the parochial assessment is devoted by law to education ; in Flanders there are permanent funds, & c. for the susteutation of the poor; the Dutch poor laws do not differ much from our own ; and even in Iceland there is a provision for the poor.— Have we ever asked ourselves this ques- tion ? How comes it that the English absentee proprietors have comfortable English tenants and miserable Irish ones ? The reason is obvious. The landlord of the English tenant is bound to support him, if by high rent he makes him a pauper or does not supply, him with employment. Government know that more than a million and a half is extorted from the industrious in the shape of idle alms; they know the standing army of Ireland costs more than a million and a half, the police £ 300,000 ; the sums for the support of the poor in gaols anil hospitals are enormous. Let the rate for tbe employment of the people on public works be two millions annually for a certain time, for which there is a most ample and beneficial field. There are few or no quays to land goods upon the western coast of Ireland. The navi- gation of the large rivers of Ireland is impeded by bars, and thus the tributary streams submerge large quantities of land. Mr. Griffith, the Royal Mining Engineer, has declared in his public lectures that the south- west of Ireland, if properly worked, would be the greatest mining district in the united kingdoms. Mr. Beeld, another civil engineer of talent, from whose forthcoming Survey of the Resources of the West of Ireland the Public may expect much in- formation, has stated, that last year a small company sent a few vessels from Skerries, on the east coast, to the western coast of Ireland, who returned with ten thousand pounds'worth of fish, principally cod fish. There are in Ireland five million acres of waste land, whose lowest elevation is 400 feet above the level of the sea; their best manure, limestone gravel, lies in the central hills, with every facility to improvement by water carriage, and the chemical decomposition of peat soils is now well understood, so that such soils, to use the language of Mr. Aitkin and Sir H. Davy, may become masses of manure. The peat soil of the south of Holland, which formerly resembled the bog land of Ireland, is now the garden of Europe. " The remedies best adapted to relieve the Irish from their present condition are— 1st. Mr. Brownlow's Bill for Draining, and for the better assurance of title to the purchasers of waste land in Ireland. 2d. Mr. Brownlow's intended Bill for ascertaining the boun- daries, and for the inclosure of the waste lands. 3d. An Act to amend the Irish Anonymous Partner- ship Act ( 21 Geo. 3) and to render it efficient, so as to enable the capitalist to invest his money in the employment of the Irish with as little risk as possible." 4th. An Act to employ Irish Paupers on public works under Government District Engineers, and to charge their wages oti the town land or parish where they were born.— Thus would be obviated two great evils and causes of degradation in the English system,— first, the employment of tbe people for less wages than is just; secondly, the giving of money without employment. 5thly. An Act to facilitate and secure the sale of landed property in Ireland, by application to Chancery, instead of the expense and delay of private bills, which is very great since the Union. " Many insist upon education as a panacea for tbe disorders of Ireland. We deem it a dangerous expe- riment to leave the cure of its disorders to education alone-, for you arc only making the line of deinnrka- tion between the rich and poor still broader, by rendering the latter still poorer; adding the wants of education to those superinduced by poverty, you fling a new poison into the bitter cup of indigence; you give a new weapon to the enemies of social order. We have ever considered a legislative provision which would insist upon employment of the people to be a national insurance against tbe vicissitudes of trade, commerce, and war. That there are gross abuses in the English system of poor laws none will deny ; but they originate from that class who have the power to remove them — The Act of Elizabeth says, employ the people or support them, as consumers of your property ; then it is a tax upon the indolence and avarice of those who have capital to spend in the employment of the people, and will make no exertion for that purpose. The provision makes tbe upper classes of society industrious, who are least disposed to be so ; they are thus instigated lo seek the real resources of productive employment for ill? people, which has raised the national income lo five hundred millions. In Ireland, where there exists no measuYe to insist on employment, half the nation is without it, and in a state of utter destitution."

Berkeley liarony, by Tenure. It is pretty generally known that William, Fifz- fiardinge Berkeley, Esq. belter known by tjie appel- lation of Col. Berkeley, some time since caused a pejitiontp. be presented to bis Majesty, in which he claimed ( he dignity of Baron de Berkeley, as a Jarony by tenia/:.— This petition his Majesty, was pleased to refer to his then Attorney - General, Sir C. WethereH, who having ( reported theiron, it was referred to the House of Lords, and hv that body to the committee of privileges. The grounds on which the el. nui is made are detailed at great length, in a case ably drawn up by Mr. Fonblamfue and Mr. Brougham; and as they are novel and curious,— an application of such a nature not having been made for 160 years,— we subjoin an abstract of them> The - petitioner's case is founded on the following ^ propositions, viz. that according to the law and cus- tom of Parliament, there are certain " laud baronies," # he lords of which, according to the language em- ployed in the ancient Parliament rolls, " come, or onght to come, to Parliament by summons."—( Hoi. yar). 15 Edward 111. sec. 32, 28 Edward 111. sec. 23, vol. 2, p 130, 1C6-.) That the dignity of a baron, as tl a phonal dignity/ 5 was conferred, either by w writ ttif summons," or by " letters patent." That, prior to - the 11th Ricliard II. the personal dignity of a baron bad not been conferred by " letters patent," but by $ writ." And that, according to the doctrine estab- lished in Lord Clifton's case, February 7, 1073, '( Journals, vol, 12, p. 609,) the dignity so conferred by. wrtt was descendible in fee, or in fee tail general. Relying on these propositions, the petitioner states a series of facts, to bring his case within their scope, from which it appears— 1st. That Berkeley and Berkeley Hernesse, in the county of Gloucester, were anciently granted by the King, to lie holden of him " in barony," and have been accordingly so holden. 2d. That Thomas, Lord Berkeley, was summoned to Parliament in 23 Edward I- ; that if he was so summoned in respect of a " personal dignity, 1* it was created either by writ or by letters patent; that the dignity of a baron was not created by letters patent before 11 Richard TI.; and consequently if Thomas and his successors, prior to 11 Richard If. sat in respect of a personal dignity, it must have been a personal dignity eoilferred by writ, and as such it would have descended to the heirs of the body of the person possessed of such dignity. 3d. That the dignity in respect of which Thomas was summoned to Parliament, 23 Edward I. as Baron de Berkeley, did not, in the 51 h Henry V. descend to the heir general of the said Thomas, nor did such heir assume the title. 4th That the person " seised of the baronial estates" sat in Parliament as Baron de Berkeley, in exclusion of the person who would have been entitled to the baronial dignity, in case such dignity had been " personal;" except during a period of 62 years, when the baronial estates were vested in the crown, and I he way scignory consequently suspended. 5lh. That such of the Barons Berkeley as were not in possession of the baronial estates, and who were summoned to Parliament by writ, in and sub- sequent to 14 Henry VIII were not considered as entitled to sit in the seat* of the preceding Barons de Berkeley ; but w hen they became seised of the baron- ial estates, they then resumed the ancient seat of their predecessors. 6th and last. That the petitioner is seised of the castle, lands, and tenements, constituting the barony. In support of these allegations reference is made to a stream of documents from the reign of Richard I. when all Berkeley Hernesse was granted to Maurice de Berkeley and his heirs, to be holden of the King " in barony," down to 1810, when the late Earl of Berkeley, under whose will, the petitioner became seised of tjic barony, died. It is submitted that the . quesiiqn upon ( lie above state of facis is not whether a, person holdings portion / not being the caput J of a barony is entitled to a seat in the Lords' House of Parliament— nor Ls it whether a person seised of an rutin- barony, or of the caput bnroiijain respect of which, no individual has ever been summoned to TJiirjyimenf, could now maintain a claim to be so summoned j- r. uor is it whether a territorial dignity which has long been discontinued, should floiy \> e revived ; but the question is, whether the claimant. is not, entitled to the continuance of the privilege of being summoned to Parliament in respect of the barony of. Berkeley, in like manner as the holders of . that barony . were summoned to Parliament during the reigns of Edward I. 11. 111. Richard II. Henry IV. V. VI. Edward IV. V. Richard III. and part of Henry VII. Philip and Mary, Elizabeth, James I. Charles I. find part of Charles II. Tlie claim, so founded, it is argued, is very much the same as that of John Fitz Alan to the title of Earl of Arundel, and that of Sir Edmond Neville to the title of Lord Abergavenny. It is contended that, no change is proposed by it in the constitution of the Lords' House of Parliament, but merely the reinstatement of one of its must ancient meniliers, the Baron de Berkeley, as a baron by tenure. It may be observed, that the principles upon which the decisions in the cases of the Earl of Aruudel and of the Baron of Abergavenny are supposed to have proceeded have been questioned by the subsequent decision in the case of Lord Filzwalfcr. But with respect to Ihe allowance of the claim of the Earl of Arundel, it is contended that the distinct recognition, by the act of 3 Charles 1. cap. 4, of the doctrine upon . which that decision proceeded, has given to it < in authority which nothing short of legislative declara- tion, can weaken; and as to the allowance of the claim of Sir E. Neville to the barony of Abergavenny, though it has not the sanction of equal authority as that of the earldom of Arundel, yet, as a decision in the reign of James 1. who was very adverse to such claims, it is from that circumstance entitled to more than ordnary weight. Jt has been observed, that this decision was founded on a compromise or a. njcable arrangement; but in answer to that, it is . only necessary to state that the barony was claimed by Sir E. ' Neville as " a barony by tenure," and as such he must have obtained it, or he could not Have , been. entitled to that precedence, which was allowed Jtiui bjf. the house ; for as a " personal dignity" it ^ Yias hejifocr in him nor in his competitor, Mary fane, but in. the, heir- at- law of John liarl of Pembroke. With respect to the claim to, the barony of Fitz- • With rvfereucn to precedeucy. waiter, in 1669, the counsel of Robert C'heeke, who opposed the claim of Benjamin Mildmay ( afterwards I- ord Fitzwalter), affirmed that the barony was a barony by tenure, and ought to go along with the land, which the petitioner, Benjamin Mildmay, denied, and offered to argue the point ; upon which, both parties being ordered to withdraw, the nature of a barony by tenure was discussed. It was found to have been discontinued for many ages, and therefore not fit to be revived, or to admit any pretence of right or succession thereupon ; and the pretence of a barony by ( enure was declared, for weighty reasons, not to be insisted on. In reference to this decision, it is alleged, that whatever respect may be due to the opinion thus given by the Privy Council, yet it is not entitled to prevail, if at variance with the sound con- struction of an act of parliament, then and still in force ; and it appears from the act of 12 Charles II. cap. 24, sec. 11, that nothing iu that $ ct was " to infringe or hurt any title of honour, feudal or other, by which any person had or might have right to sit in the Lords' House of Parliament, as to his or their title of honour, or sitting in parliament, or the privilege belonging to them as peers." The oiily feudal right to a seat in the Lords' House of Parliament must ne- cessarily be founded in tenure ; and the lords spiritual were then sitting in the Lords' House of Parliament, in respect of their temporal baronies by tenure, as was the Baron of Abergavenny, in respect of his land barony ; and the Baron de Berkeley was sitting, above many many other barons, in respect also of such tenure ; and it is material to observe that Mr. Cheeke did not show that he held any lands that could constitute such a barony, or that ever formed a part of the territorial barony of Fitzwalter. With reference, therefore, to the present claim, it is contended that no cases can be more distinguishable than Colonel Berkeley's and that of Mr. Cheeke. The former claimed the privilege, as in continuance of ancient and almost invariably. continued usage; the latter insisted on the privilege, without adducing, so far as can be traced, evidence of even the possession of any latjds that could constitute a barony by tenure. In thus claiming the land or territorial barony of Berkeley, the petitioner distinctly declares that he does not mean to " waive," but, on the contrary, " saves and reserves to himself his claim to any other dignity to which, in any other right, he may be entitled," evidently alluding to the earldom of Berkeley, of which he was deprived by the decision of the House of Lords in 1811. The petitioner's prayer is, ( hat writ of summons,' 1 to attend in Parliament, might be addressed to trim, by the style,. title, and dignity of Baron Berkeley, of Berkeley.— Morning Paper. triumph, and must, as a corresponding consequence, be again extirpated. But to attain an object so desirable, a better ac- quaintance with British grasses than at present exists, should be an object with every farmer to acquire. To sow grasses promiscuously, whose periods of blooming and maturing vary from ten days lo a month, is one of those errors, not to say evils, which modern improvement has not yet been enabled to correct. This remark is yearly exempli- fied in the custom of upon all soils and situations sowing ray- grass with clover; of which no two plants are more opposed in their natures,' tittle of flowering, and subsequent maturily^ the' period of which, in the former, is from ten to thirty days, consequently, while waiting for the expansion and ripening of the clover ( which deserves to be waited lor) the ray- grass has bloomed, shed its seed, and become straw! It is one of our earliest spring grasses ; in favourable situations and forward springs, it has been known to be fit for the scythe from the middle to the termination of May, while the clover can never be approached before June, and hence arises the trite answer of many, when asked why they don't mow, " 1 wait to'let it get thick at bottom." In fact, ray- grass as hav,- is poor almost to worthlessness; as green food for early grazing for ewos and lambs it is valuable in the most trying month of the year, April, and ought always lo be where vetches are no/, but'some of each ought not to be lost sight of. Many will be surprised to find, that one of the earliest British grasses, and highly nutritive, is the Triticum re- pens, or common couch grass, on which one eternal war is waged; and justly loo, when it intrudes as it will among other crops. Horses eat every particle fit: as a proof, the roots are brought to market at Naples and other parts of Italy for that purpose solely. THE MANAGEMENT OF MEADOW AND PASTURE LANDS. BY MR. P. LAUDER. Amongst the many impediments that still esist to arrest the progress of this first- born science, there is none that has a firmer hold upon the mind of, in every other respect, sensible and intelligent men than a most tenacious predilection for what is usually denominated old meadows. I have been for some years an attentive observer of this depart uieut of agriculture, and am enabled to assert, that old grass land, like every thing else earthly, has its limits of duration. The analogy between lire animal and vegetable \ yorld is precisely the same in its ultimate consequences,. differing, only in a more extended degree of longevity lo the latter ; but the period. of maturity in list and will arrive, and when attained if will, like all other created matter, Cease to be ; . age will no more render the one stationary than the other ; the progress to decay is slower in the vegetable, but nevertheless certain. In thus prefacing ( he remarks I am about lo make, 1 do not mean to insinuate Ilia! tjipre are no meadow tandi worthy of- protection ; but . there is evinced bv the owners .( I say owners, because many tenants arei bound iu severe penalties not. to plough certain prescribed fields) and occupiers of many such farms, an absence of that knowledge which ought to enable them to discriminate between valuable nutritious grasses and rank and noxious wei ds. Fi instance, a great deal of what is considered as old valuable pasture land in the fine vales of this ( Gla morganshire) and many of the adjoining counties abounds with as vile a weed as ever grew—- namely the ranunculus aeris, or crowsfoot, be(( er known by the country people as the buttercup. This plant from its acrid nature, is rejected hy every descrip- tion of cattle ; even the poor ass, whose accomino dating nature takes the refuse of every thing else avoids it; yet a large proportion of the community suppose that Ihis weed is eaten by the cows, and gives to the butter that rich yellow colour it pos sesses during the slimmer months! Such silly pre- judices ought not lo be endured; for reflection must convince the most moderate capacity, that if such be the case, we should have this article of Ihe dairy rivalling the rainbow in brilliancy. The best proof, however, of what I have advanced is, to carefully observe the state of all grazed lands from midsummer to autumn. I confine my observations to grazed land, because the scythe sweeping away every thing before it, the grass and the weed soon again appear upon equul terms;- but iu feeding, the discriminating palate of all animals enables them to judge much better than short- sighted man what is most conducive to their nourishment; and here it is the attentive observer will invariably see the plant in question, or rather plants, for there are. many varieties of them, and all equally rejected,.. though the adjoining grass is eaten to tlie very roots, ( he crowsfoot tribe luxuriantly blooming aijd shedding their ( seeds Ihe whole Summer, and not a scythe applied to arrest their progress: thus the finest land becomes soon overrun with them, and they usurp that place, and exhaust the sojl flint ought aud would produce the most valuable grasses. But it is not only this description of plant which is allowed to intrude itself into our best pastures, there are many others equally noxious, and as carefully avoided by the animals intended to con- sume thein, all of which, at Ihis season of the year,: may be easily discovered if the same means are. resorted to. Examine the land which lias been under grazing the whole of summer, and see how many, plants remain on the ground at this moment in a dried slate, having perfected their seeds, and1 returned them to Ihe soil, to again re- produce their worthless progeny to the annihilation of all good grasses. Now, had these plants been merely palatable, to say nothing of their possessing better qualities on laud, . which is termed " sharply fed,"' nothing of the kind would have appeared; it would have presented a surface us even as a welt- mown field, and the occupier would be cheered with the reflection, that every yard of laud lie was p- ying for was giving him a corresponding remuneration. If this evil, then, is admitted lo exist on lands appropriated to grazing, the consequences must he alike unprofitable, and in a much greater degree deceptive, where it is mown, inasmuch as if is not seen. In this ease, every tiling is cut and indis- criminately blended together ; hay- making, or rather hay and weed making go oil; a great bulk presents itself, the owner prides himself upon his immense crop, calculates upon tons per acre, never once reflecting, that a noxious weed dried is as offensive lo the poor animal tied up, who can no longer select for himself, as it was in a state of vegetation; and though hunger, joined to his in- ability of no longer rejecting it, may force it into the stomach, yet lo suppose the creature can im- piove in condition from such food, is foreign from the veriest principles of common sense and nature. To men ( I will not call them farmer?) whq grow hay to sell, such land and management may be de- sirable, and it is such meadow hay, as it is so denominated by this description of persons, that most of the cities and large towns iu the kingdom are supplied with ; but to gentlemen and spirited intelligent fanners, who justly pride themselves upon ( his branch of rural economy, I am persuaded these hints will not be fouud unworthy their con- sideration. The fears and objections which are raised to the breaking up of ( his description of land would lead a person, unacquainted wj( h ( he operations of the vegetable world, lo suppose ( hat a field, or rather • the surface of such field, can never be again re- stored ; but the sensible agriculturist knows that the judicious appl cation of a ( drilled) corn crop, succeeded by turnips eaten upon the land, by the farmer's best friend— Ihe sheep, would in three years restore that land to all its primitive beauty of appearance, use, and productiveness; Ihe intro- duction of properly assorted grasses would, for very many years continue aud re- produce themselves, until at length the indigenous weeds of the country, from mnuui ing, and other local causes, would again THE POST OFFICE. In 1653 the postage of England, Scotland, and reland was farmed of the Parliament by John Mauley, Esq. for £ 10,000 per annum, and received its first organization from Cromwell, as a General Post Office, three years afterwards. Charles II. confirming the regulations of the Protector, settled Ihe revenue from it on Ihe Duke of York, the produce in 1665 being £ 21,500. Ten years after- wards this amount was doubled, and it slill con- inued lo increase until the reign of William and Mary, when it was considerably influenced by the hostile or tranquil state of the country. The Post Office revenue, which during the years of war only averaged £ 67,222 a year, produced in the suc- ceeding four years of peace, oil an average, £ 82,319 annually. A similar etfect was experienced during the reign of Queen Anne, when the war postage was about £ 00,000, and in years of peace about £ 90,000. 1 his disproportion has of late been reversed, and the last years of war < vere those iu which the Post Office were the most productive. On the union of England with Scotland in the year 1710, a General Post Office was established by act of Parliament, which included, besides Great Britain and Ireland, our West India and American colonies. This ex* tension of the Post Office increased'( lie revenue to £ 111,461. What portion of this siiNi yvas pr& du£ cd by ( lie respective countries does not ' appear ; but ( here is reason to believe that if was almost entirely Irish aud English, for even so late as between 1730 and 1740 the post was only transmitted three days a week betweeH Edinburgh and London, and the metropolis, on One occasion, only sent a single tetter, w hich . was for an Edinburgh banker named Ramsay. The most remarkable event ill the history of the Post Office, previously to its present removal and scale of magnificence, is the plan, first suggested b v Mr. Palmer iu the year 1794, of send- ing the letters by coaches instead of the old custom of- transmitting ( hem by ' post hoys on horseback. From this- moment the prosperity of the Post Office commenced; and Ihe revenue which at first was n « > t more than £ 5000 a year, and which, after the revolution of two centuries, only produced in 1783, £ 146, OCM) annually, yielded, thirty years afterwards, a iiett revenue of nearly £ 1,700,000. Nor was it only by increasing Ihe revenue that Mr. Palmer's plan was beneficial; for, to use the words of tiie Parliamentary Committee on the subject, " at the same" time that the revenffe is augmented, answers are returned to the letters in half the time, and with a degree of punctuality never experienced before ; ( he expense , it at a less rate, per mi( e Shan upon the old plan ; and when the plan had been so far carried into effect that the mall coaches had ( ravelled about 40,000,0( 10 of miT& i not a single robbery had been committed or a'' passenger in- sulted." The General Post Office was originally setiled in Cloak lane, near Dowgate hill, when il > vas afterwards removed to ( he Black Swan, in Bishopsgate- street. On occasion of the greal fire of 1666, it was removed to the Two Black Pillars iu Brydges- street, Covent garden, and finally to Sir Robert Viner's mansion in Lombard. streel, the now dcsei ted old Post Office. iMtsccllancous Intelligent*. The population of Constantinople and suburbs is estimated at upwards of 600,000, of whom only about one half are Turks, the rest being Jews, Franks, Greeks, & c. Of inhabited bouses the number is near 90,000. The Preventive Service have of late been very busy on ( he coas( in the apprehension of smugglers. One respectable- looking man, on Salutday las(, after undergoing examination before the East Kent magistrates, was committed to Maidstone gaol for a twelvemonth, in default of paying a fine of £ 100 to the King. It has of late appeared a strange circumstance to the smugglers that ( heir time of landing should be known by the officers at the blockade sta( iou. Always on ( he aferl, they Hdve ascertained ( hat a( the depots in Difnkirk, & e. per- sons are stationed, who, immediately the time of sailing and the destination of the vessel are known, write to agents in this country, and the parties on the look out are soon apprised of the probable visitor.— Kent and Essex Mercury. ACCIDENT AT, THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.— ON Monday las(, as two gentlemen were admiring one of the five wolves, a child playing near Ihe cage put her arm within reach, and was instantly seized by ( lie ferocious animal. One of ( lie by- s( anders, Mr. Perry, surgeon to the Foundling Hospital, with'; great promptitude kicked ( he wolf violeullyiu ( he: throat and made him quit his bold. The limb was considerably lacerated, aud after Mr P. bad used the best remedies at his command, the child was conveyed home to Park- slreet, Grosvenor- square, by her alarmed mother, a lady who bad been present at the accident. INCREASE OF THE TOWN OF BIRMINGHAM.— At no former period, we imagine, was there so much land devoted to building purposes as there is at the present moment in every direction around Ihis tow n. Whether this may be attributable more to Ihe engagement of unemployed capital which lias been withdrawn from trade than loan increase of the population we are not prepared to determine ; but, as the new erections immediately find oc- cupants, we conclude that demand for houses has been a great inducement for persons to build who have been able and fortunate enough to secure their capital from the depreciation which ( he present ruinous Mate of trade would effect. The whole of the extensive tract of land lying between Islington aud Ihe top of Exeter- row, in the direction of I Edgbaston, will shortly be covered w ith buildings. Again, on the Bristol- road, towards Highgate, the Sand Pi( s, Hockley, Handswoiih, the neighbour- hood of the Lozells at Aslon park,& c. & c. the town is branching out very perceptibly. An immense tract of laud has also been recently laid out for broad handsome streets in ( he parish of Aston, on lha( pleasant and elevated situation lying be( weeu Gosia- green and the top of the Saltley- road. In- dependent of Ihis valuable property, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Aston, Ihe probability appears that, in a very short time a direc( wad along this line will be made to connect one of the north roads with the Cpventry road to London This land being also adjacent to that valuable aud commanding property, ( he N'echells Estate ( which , lias been advertised for sale), must greatly extend Ihe ( own in ( hat direction, and increase ft! ye liro- perly of ( he neigh hour bond. Indeed ( here is no one point in the immediate vicinity of ( lie5 town but where ( lie greates( improvements are making; and should they continue Birmingham will bid fair to be, in point of population and extent, the third town in the kingdom. A most shocking and melancholy accident, at- tended with the loss of two lives, occurred on Tuesday night last, at Slourport. It appears that about eleven o'clock on that night, three men, named Thomas James, William Jarues ( cousins), and William Bankes, and a boy about eleven years of age, named Joseph Spittle, all in the employ of Mr. James, blacksmith, of Stonrport, took a boat from its moorings above the Stourport bridge, and pro- ceeded across ( lie Severn ( o ( he meadows on the opposite side, for the purpose of getting fruit. Having obtained about a sack full of apples, ( hey re( urned about midnight to the boat, and the three inen got into one end, and the boy into the other. They then pushed off, but had not proceeded further than the middle of the river, when the boat began to sink, it is supposed from the weight being nearly all at one eud, and from her being old and extremely leaky ; a considerable quantity of water was in the boat previous to her being unmoored. Immediately upon making Ihe discovery that Ihe boat was foundering, the three men jumped into the water, and William James succeeded in swim- ming to shore; Thomas James and Bankes, how- ever, were not so for( uua( e, and they were un- happily drowned. Spittle remained in the boat, which was drifted some distance down ( he river ; his cries, however, arousing Owner Broadfield, of Bridgnorth, who was sleeping on board a barge, he instantly procured another boat, and rescued ( he lad just at the moment the boat was being drawn under Ihe bow of a barge; had he been a second later, the boy also must have inevitably perished. The bodies of ( he two unfortunate men were picked up early on Wednesday morning; and on Thursday an inquest was held upon them by Mr. Smith, coroner, at the Bridge Inn, Stourport, and a verdict of accidental death returned. James was about 21 years of age, and Bankes 20; they were both single men. STEAM ENGINES.— At a meeting in the Crown and Anchor Tavern, London, Mr. Webster stated that there is a steam- engine in Corn wal I, of600- horse power ! There are at least 15,000 steam- engines at work in this counlry; if each is averaged at 25- horse power, then they are equal to 375,000 horses; eaeti horse requires two acres to keep it one year, which in all makes 750,000 acres of land gained by Great Britain. Mr. Watt says 5^ men are equal in power to one horse; therefore the 15,000 engines are equal to nearly two millions of men. At Plsemeur, in the department of Morbihan, in Brittany, a tumulus, eighteen feet in height, and three hundred feet in circumference at its base, has recently been opened. A vault, formed of small stones and closed by a cover, was found in the centre, coutaining the rotten remains of a large box, in the midst of which were ashes and charcoal. In ( lie side of ( he mount was a Celtic axe, of black stone, half broken. HORSE STEALING.— Notwithstanding the numer- ous examples which have been made of culprits engaged in this branch of crime, still ( he offence remains unabated, and the farmers who reside in the metropolitan counties continue to be the victims of the nefarious traffic. Not a day passes that in- formations are not communicated to the several police- officers of losses sustained by this species of plunder; but yet, few, indeed, if any, of the per* pctrators are brought to justice; and in scarce any instance has the stolen property been discovered. This, probably, is owing to the facility afforded for exportation, and the want of an immediate com- munication with the sea ports. NEW PLAN OF RAISING PEAS.— A sagacious horticnUurist, residing in ( he vicinity of Edinburgh, has adopted a simple and improved plan for the cultivation of peas. He had, like many other gar- deners, been annually put to great trouble to pro- cure the necessary quantity of pea sticks, and after many cogitaUons, inquiries, and experiments, he has fouud a substitute, that has far exceeded his most sanguine expectations. He procures a number of slim poles, about five feet long, the tops of larch firs, if they can be fouud, and drives them into the ground afa distance of three or four yards. He Iben passes a small tine along the poles taking a turn on each, . within ( tiree inches of the ground, he raises the next turn three inches, and so on iu suc- cession, ( ill he has attained the common height to which ( lie peas rise. The tendrils of tlie peas seize and twisl round ( hese lines, and ( hey are sopported iu a more attractive, aud a more profitable manner ( ban fbey are bv sticks. When spread regularly along the lines, they have a fine circulation of air, more advantage from sunshine, and pods can be pulled at all times, without tossing and injuring the straw; and as the sparrows have not twigs to alight on, ( he portion of ( he crop which ( hey des( roy and devour, is saved. This mode is so cheap, simple, and possesses so many advantages, that it is likely to be soon generally adopted. ENGLISH AND ARABIAN HORSES.— The result of a race, which took place ovfr the Barrackpoor Course, Calcutta, in January last, between an English horse, Recruit, and Pyramus, the best Arabian on the Bengal side of India, has established the point, that no allowance of weight, within the bounds of modera- tion, can bring the best Arab, even in the clime most congenial to him, upon a par with an English thorough- bred horse. QUOITING EXTRAORDINARY.— On the afternoon of Friday last, a party of Dumfries men played match at quoits in a field near the New Chapel, Maxwelltown. As the players were all practised hands, the spiel was contested pretty sharply, and, just as they were about to bring matters to a close, a hawk came hurrying past the spot, and flew so near the. ground, while bent on the destruction of some poor bird, that Mr. John Hannay, writer, actu- ally brought it down while delivering his quoit. The shot, in fact, proved most effectual, though quite a random one on his part; and lie could not have been prosecuted for a breach of the Game Laws, even if hawks were patronised by Act of Parliament What is most remarkable, the quoit, after striking the bird, held on its course like an arrow from the bow and fell so near the fee, that it went far to decide the game, by ranking as one of the winning shots. The bird is of the small or sparrow- hawk species, and is about to be stuffed as a sort of memento of rather a strange passage in the life of the owner. MR. HUME.— We have received the following notice from our Montrose correspondent, dated, on Friday afternoon :—" A report is in circulation here to- ilay that our present Representative in Parlia ment, Mr. Hume, is about to retire from public life in order to enjoy the sweets of domestic retirement. Be this as it may, Sir James Carnegie, of Southrsk,' Baronet, has this day waited, personally , on all the members of our Town Council, for the purpose of soliciting their suffrage, in the event of a vacation faking place in the Representation of this district of burghs. From the powerful influence which Sir James possesses, it is very likely he may he success-' fill. This circumstance has created a great sensation in- our town, as such an event was not anticipated, until Sir James « dropt in,' among our electors this morning."— Caledonian Mercury. SIGHTS OF LONDON-— YYC were teijipted on Wednesday to the Argyll Rooms, by the challenge of a person of the nncommon name of J. Smilh to M. Chabert, our old friend the Fire King, whom this individual dared to invite to a trial of powers in swallowing poison and being baked ! The audacity of such a step quite amazed us; and expecting to see in the competitor, at least a Vulcan, the God of all the Smiths, we hastened to the scene of strife. Alas, our disappointment was complete ! Smith had not even ( he courage of a blacksmith for standing fire, and I yielded a stake of fifty pounds, as was stated, without a contest, to M. Chabert, on the tatter coming out of his oyen, with his own two steaks perfectly cooked. On this occasion Chabert took twenty grains of phosphorus, swallowed oil heated tQ nearly 100 deg. above boiling water, took molten lead out of a ladle with his fingers and cooled it on his tongue; and, besides performing other remarkable feats, remained five minutes in the oven at a temperature of between 300 degrees and 400 degrees by the thermometer. There were about 150 persons present, many of them medical men ; and being convinced that those things were fairly done, without trickery, much astonish- ment was expressed that any human being could do them and live. We arc not very anxious to ascertain whether the challenge was or was not a device to attract public attention ; be that as it may, the exploits of Chabert are very wonderful; and if, as he asserts, he possesses the secret of counteracting poisons by sure antidotes, we can only repeat our former opinion, that it ought, to he rigorously inquired into by competent persons, and a just compensation be awarded for the Discovery of so valuable a means of rescuing our fellow creatures from agony and death. literary Gazette. NEW METHOD OF PASSING VAGRANTS.— A few days ago, a number of Irish of both sexes made their appearance iu Oldham, and called upon Mr. Cliadwick, the deputy constable of that town, for some relief to belp them on their way home. Sus- pecting that their alleged poverty was not quite in unison with the fact, he look the liberty of pro- ceeding to search ( hem, and on ( he person of ( he very first he found tlie sum of £ 1. 17s. He there- upon hired a coach out of the money, and forwarded them lo Manchester at their own expense. A GIGANTIC WOMAN.— At 11 o'clock ou Wed- nesday morning, an inquest was held at the Tavistock Arms, Tavistock- place, bbfore. Thomas Stirling, Esq. on view of the body of Mrs. Mary Levy, a Jewess, of ( he extraordinary weight of 20 stone, " and who was little less than six feet six inches in height. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased, whose husband holds a situation in the family of Mr. Goldsmid, was in the habit of doing needlework for several Jewish families in the metropolis, 0" Mon- day she received a letter to attend a lady residing at 46, Woburn- place, and was on her way thither. When arrived in Tavistock- square she was taken ill, and rang the bell at No. 13, requesting to be allowed to sit down. The servant directed her to the next house, No. 14, the proprietors of which were in the Country, and where she received every assistance. Getting worse, she was placed on a bed iu the kitchen, and Dr. Sims ( residing at No. 2, in the square) sent for. Before his arrival, however, she expired, and he pronounced her death to have been caused by apo- plexy. By the wise old law of our ancestors, the lath Henry VI. cap. 4, a statute which is yet unrepealed, though most flagrautly disobeyed, no plaintiff could put a person into Chancery, without first finding two good and sufficient securities for paying ( he expenses of such person, provided he ( the plaintiff) " did not prove his suggestions to be true." To return to this salutary provision, would be a gi- gantic step in Chancery reform, but it would be an unpardonable libel upon the " march of intellect." On the Ramsga( e coast ( he o( her day, a Custom house officer observing a remarkable object floating at a short distance from Ihe land near Pegwell Bay, went out to i( lo satisfy his curiosity, and was surprised at the discovery of about five- and- tweuty tubs of spirits tied together, with a dead man entangled in the ropes. It is supposed ( hat be had been endeavouring lo tow the tubs ashore by swim- ming, and had perished iu the attempt by sinking into the sands at low water, or that becoming exhausted he had been carried away by the current. In either case it is probable ( hat he suffered a dreadful death by starvation. He was recognized as a gardener belonging to Ramsgafe, who was not generally suspected of being engaged in illicit trade. In sinking ( he foundalion of a sewer on the north side of the town last week, one of the workmen struck his spade against a hard substauce, aud on observing it more minutely, i( proved to be a branch of the common filbert tree; two or Ihree nuts were attached to i(, and the shells were in perfect pre- servation. Oa cracking one of the nuts, the kernel was found not in the least decayed, but was as sweet to the taste as if it had been of the present year's growth. As it was found sixteen feet below the surface, in all probability, many centuries ago, a wood existed iu Ihis silualion, which is render- ed more probable, as, since the works commenced at Pittville, several logs of timber have been dis- covered many feet below even ( he preseut bed of the little brook.— Cheltenham Journal. ENORMOUS CABBAGE.— From the superabund- ance of moisture, or some other cause; Ihe late- planted cabbages are this year remarkable for size and weight. In Ihe gardens at Cally cabbages may be seen which the gardener can do little more than encompass with his arms; aud while on this sub- ject, ( here can be no harm in meudouing, ( hat by far the largest cabbage we have heard of was gifled on Wednesday last to Mr. Sinclair, bookseller, " t grew at Conilongan Castle, parish of Ruthwell, and must have weighed originally more than two stones. Even when denuded of the stalk and all the outer leaves, its weight was 26£ lbs. So far from belonging to Ihe fungus family, it was per- fectly solid, sound, and sweet, and seemed a heavy enough lift to the person who took it out of a carl, and deposited il iu ( he shop of Mr. Sinclair.— Dum fries Courier. Yesterday the 47th regiment of foot, about 300 strong, under Ihe command of Colonel Alliugton, marched into this town from Chatham, on route to the Isle of Wight. This " regiment landed al Graves- end a week ago from' ludia, where it had been stationed 25 years. About fifteen years ago a detachment of 301) men passed through Maidstone, on its way to join ( he regiment, aud of this number only three have reltnned, the adjutant and two privates, while no less than 30 women belonging to the same de( achuien( have survived their husbands. A considerable portion of ( he regiment is now composed of convicts, whose terms of transportation at Van Diemen's Land having expired, they have enlisted, recruiting parties being cnustanlty s( a- tioned at Sydney for that purpose. We understand that Ihis way of reinforcing the regiments in India is general, the men having no means of getting to England when ( heir sentences have been executed, and, we may hope, are mostly reformed, after hav| ng undergone the punishment of their offences. — Maidstone Journal. BEES.— It may not be generally known, that it is ihe custom of tn'St of the persons who keep bees in the neighbourhood of Sheffield to carry them, when the general floral season is . getting over, as far as Ringing Low, or even beyond, aud to olhcr places iu ( hat direction, in order that they may collect a sufficiency of honey from Ihe heath lo maintain them during the winter. This removal takes place, either in Ihe case of large swarms, or poor stocks which have but little honey, or after the season's honey lias beeu taken from the heavier hives, with, out destroying the labourers. In other words, after driving ( hem, as it is termed, out of the full hive into au empty one. The late season has beeu most unfavourable for these stocks ( bat have been taken lo ( he moors— many of them being fouud dead for want of sustenance, and olhers so light that they will require ( o be fed wilb honey or sugar, to keep them aljve during Hie winter. In the latter ease, sp far as the consideration of profit go. es, the bee- fanci- r w ould be a gaiuer by their entire loss. DEVONPORT, SEPT. 26.— The paragraph which has been making the tour of the papers, gating that six sail of the line could be completely, fi^ te. d in six weeks, at, Pjymontb, or, as stated in sonic periodicals, in a fortnight, is very erroneous ; and has excited some ridicule here among practical men. The truth that the Dock yard has not its complement of artificers,. arid as during the equipping of six. sail of the line, of her vessels in port, and constantly arriviii would demand a part of ( he hands, the number of artificers to be actually employed on the said six ships would be materially diminished. The state, too, of some of the ships in ordinary, is said not to be so good as represented. The deficiencies of the SI. Vincent, lately undocked, may strengthen those suspicions which are afloat. It is said in Plymouth Dock yard, that a visit has been lately made to Brcsf, by two gentlemen of considerable professional skill, connected with some of our Naval Boards. They found in that harbour forty sail of the line, in a state fit for commission, with their lower rigging up, tops over head, and the topmasts pointed. It is the custom in our yards to keep the rigging ashore, in store- houses, till wanted for active service, and the tops are not put over the rigging till the shrouds arc up. The topmasts are indeed on board, but not pointed. These gentlemen also witnessed the launch of a most beautiful first- rate, but their chief attention was directed to a large ship afloat— one of the finest specimens of naval architecture which they bad ever seen. But the crowning discovery of all was to find that the sagacious French had adopted all, our successive improvements, and that all their ships were fitted with water tanks, store- rooms, & c. as adopted in the British navy, and supposed to be exclusively confined to its vessels. These facts are not the less startling because the enemy professes to be on good terms with us. He is evidently preparing for a struggle; and has silently but effectively put his navy into a condition in which it was never found before, and which calls most imperatively upon our governors for their attention, lest in the day of battle, and in the very onset of a new war, ( hey should find themselves outnumbered, and overpowered by a foe whom they have been accustomed to despise.— Western 1. u m incry. At several country fairs large placards lijiv. e been posted with the words " Beware of'pickpockets " and counterfeit money I" FREE TRADE TO INDIA.— We dc, ny that tbe ad- mission of our merchants to India would either benefit them or England— because we believe that unrestricted trade would create disunion and ultimately e. xcife the natives to rebellion, and in, the end strip us of our • Indian possessions altogether. We deny that, unre- stricted trade would benefit the manufacturer, even if the natives should continue . their allegiance— because^ at the present moment, the trade is over done because we already send more goods to India than she can consume, and because nine- tenths of all the merchants engaged iu the trade are at this moment on the brink if not actually in the gulf of bankruptcy. These are facts which every mercantile man knows. They know that the trade to India has already been pushed to excess. And they further know that nothing but a more limited and more select trade can be productive of any adequate returns. The hips that trade to India are sailing home at freight* varying from only 15s. to 25s. per ton ; and every man conversant with the subject is aware that 60s. do not pay the costs of the outfit.— Morning Journal. THE SoLAIt SYSTEM.— Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton, have taken the sun for a very dense igneous globe. M Tetard contends in a paper which he presented in 1825 to the French Institute; that the sun is a gaseous sphere, which conceals from us a globe similar to the one we inhabit. " The son," he says, " is placed at an equal distance between them, and is composed of an etherial matter, continually supplied by the planetary atmospheres. According to this new solar theory, the ignition of this gaseous sphere is produced by the rotation of the globes, and the simultaneous movement of the atmosphere." POACHING.— There is more moral turpitude in the act of purchasing game than in poaching, by reason of the rank of the offender. How Would the family relish the strangled hare, if it were labelled that the life of man were on it— that he who stole the hare was to be hanged for murder? There are very many instances of men perishing on a scaffold for. the highest crimes, whose initiation into the deeds of the dark night commenced with poaching. This papeemav meet the eyes of many who have partici- pated in the guilt of poaching, as receivers, and who have, in the office of jurymen, delivered over their principals to the penalties of broken laws; with what consciences can such men deliver their verdict of Guilty ? A verdict to which they bave a prior title by the inducements they themselves held out for the culprit.— VVorcuter Journal. A SIMPLE FACT.— The country- house of a certain prelate was last week honoured by the arrival of a nobleman and his gentleman. The establishment of the bishop was respectable, but yet. simple and con- sistent with his character. The nobleman was ushered into the drawing- room, and every thing had gone on as usual, until, just before the dinner hour, the worthy prelate was called out by a domestic, who informed him that the whole family was in confusion, for my lord's gentleman had declared with repeated oaths he could not dine with servants in livery ! The bishop requested to see him; and he accordingly descended from the garret, where he had taken shelter, to the hall. " I am very sorry, sir," said the bishop, " that my household is arranged in such a manner as to make it impossible for you to take some refreshment; you have come a considerable distance to- day, and must be fatigued. I really, sir, hardly know how to act in this difficulty ; but this I can do. My wife, I am certain, has no objection to your dining with us if your master has not. I will, therefore, go and con- sult him first, and inform you of the result." The poor gentleman was all in a tremour; his conceit instantly disappeared; he humbly requested the bishop not to speak to his master; and at length, though with rather a wry face, he condescended to sit down with the other domestics. What the con- sequences were to his character we have not heard. THE GRAPE.— The culture of the grape, as an article of husbandry, extends over a zone about two thousand miles in breadth, that is, from about the twenty- first to the fiftieth degree of north latitude; and reaching in length from the western shores of Portugal at least to the centre of Persia, and probably to near the sources of the Oxus and the Indus, Fur- ther north than that it does not ripen so as to be fit for the making of wine ; and further south it seents to be as much injured by the excessive heat. The best wines are made about the centre of the zone; the wines towards the north being harsh and austere, . and the grapes towards the south being better adapted for drying and preserving as raisins. Thus, in Spain, while the wine of Xercs, in the Sierra Morcna ( the real sherry), is an excellent wine, and while that of Apnlxarrus, in Granada, is very tolerable, the grapes of the warm shores about Malaga, and in Valentia, are chiefly fit only for raisins. So also while the slopes of / Etna, and those of the mountains of Greece, furnish some choice vines, the grapes upon the low shores in those countries have also to be dried. It should seem that the grapes are always higher flavoured, and the more vinous, the greater the natural temperature under which they are ripened, hut that an extreme heat throws the juice into the acetous fermentation before the vinous has time to be matured. We have au analogous case in the ferment- ation of malt liquors in this country, which cannot be properly performed in the warm months. About eight thousand tons of raisins, or dried grapes, are annually imported into England, at a duty of about £ 160,000. A considerable quantity of undried grapes are also imported, principally from Portugal, in jars, among sawdust. The value of those so imported is about £ 10,000. The currants of commerce, which are so extensively used in England, and of which about six thousand tons are annually imported into this country, are small dried grapes, principally grown in the Ionian islands. Ad rianople, called by the Turks and Arabs Adrauah, or Edraneh, is situated on the Marizza ( anciently the Hebrus), in the government of Romania or Rumelia, about 130 miles north- west of Constantinople. In ancient times it was the capital of a people called the Bessi, a Thracian tribe, and bore the name of Uskadama. That of Adrianople is received from the Emperor Adrian, who was its second founder. The Turks made themselves masters of this city in 1360.; and it continued to be the seat of their empire for nearly a century, that is, until the taking of Con- stantinople by Mohammed in 1453. Adrianople is A place of considerable magnitude, being nearly nine miles in circumference, and is pleasantly situated in a fruitful plain, surrounded by gently sloping ground*; but. the climate is by no means salubrious. Among file most remarkable edificcs are the palace of the Sultan, the great repository for foreign goods, and the mosques, which are numerous. Of these the mosque of Sultan Selim is by far the most splendid. The city abounds with booths and retail shops, stored with merchandize of all descriptions; and, even under the Turks, barbarous as they are, it was the entrepot of a considerable commerce. The Marizza, which is navigable to its embouchure near Enos in the Archipelago, promotes materially both foreign and inland trade : and it will now, probably, become a channel of communication by small craft between ( be Russian army under Diebitsch and the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean. The principal merchants here, as elsewhere in Turkey, are Greeks, Armenians, and Jews ; but the town is also inhabited by Walla- chians, Turks, and a variety of other races. The most important branch of. commerce consists in the wine and fruit raised in the adjacent country. Adri- anople has all along been a favourite retreat of the Sultans, who resorted to it for different reasons; at one time for pleasure, at another to avoid the plague, and occasionally as a refuge from a political commo- tion in the capital. But the fide of war has now rolled the victorious Muscovites to this long- cherished abode of oriental ease, luxury, and magnificence; and at the moment when we write, the Cossacks of the Don and the Wojga, or some barbarians from the Caucasus, the Caspian, or the White Sea, are probably established in the Eski- Serai of Mahmoud, and staring in idiot wonder at the splendour which that favourite residence displays.— The idol of iron and clay is fast falling to pieces.
