The Trial of James Estelow, for Murder, at the Session of Oyer and Terminer, held on Saturday last, for the Ttwn and Island of Bombay, & C. The Jury having been sworn in, and charged with an indidlment for the murder of one Nanoo Mousileer a Cooly. The Advocate- General, after some introdudlory remarks, examined Lieutenant H. Mackenzie, of the 18th Regi- ment of Madras Native Infantry. He stated, that the prisoner, who was a private in the Bombay artillery, was stationed at Marmagoa in March, 1810; that, on the 11th of March, the prisoner was brought up to the head- quarters, hand- cuffed, by a serjeant's guard; that his shirt and hands were bloody, and that he appeared to have a small mark in one hand, which he said was a wound from the deceased; the deceased was a native water- carrier; witness asked the prisoner how he could cOmmit such an a< 51 ? he said, it did not sig- nify, the man was dead, and might be D— D; he had a mark to shew for it, and he pointed to the finger of one of his hands, on which there was a slight scratch ; it did not appear to be a cut. He said the man had called him a Jungla; that he asked the deceased for water, who itfused to give it, and abused him. The prisoner did not appear to witness to shew any marks of agitation or con- trition ; he seemed to have been recovering from a fit of diunkenness. Witness saw the body of the deceased ; the vertebrae of the neck were cut through, and there was another cut on the skull. Lieutenant John Swan, of the same regiment, confirmed the whole of the former witness's testi- mony, adding, that he saw the hatchet belonging to the prisoner at the Barrack, the handle of which was broken off, and there was blood on the iron part, Afterthe examination of several other witnesses for the prosecution, James Riley, a matross in the Artillery, was examined for the prisoner, but all that he stated WHS, that he had seen the prisoner cutting a piece of beef with the hatchet. The Jury, without retiring, found a verdifl of— Guilty. On Monday morning, after the Court had dis- posed of the motion in arrest of judgment, the prisoner Estelow was brought to the bar. The RECOROER then pronounced sentence of death nearly as follows » —" James Estelow, you have been convifted, upon the clearest evidence, of a most barbarous murder upon an unarmed and unoffending native of India. The most lenient view of human condua can discover no extenuat- ing citcumstance in your afl. You appear to have had no motive but the desire of shewing a triumphant disregard for the life of your fellow, creature, because his skin was darker than yours. To assert the majesty of fiumarj nature Under eve- ry form and colour, to vindicate the sacred prin- ciple of equality which is the essence of all law and justice, it Is necessary that the law of Eng. land should give a new example of resolution to avenge the death of the meanest being *' HU has the happiness to be subjeft to its beneficent auiho- rity. It is necess. iry for us ta shew, that th » re is jjj no race of men, in these extensive dominions, J either too bi^ h for its power, or too low f,, r i: s " proie& i ift. You mast expect death. You have no claim on mercy, and scarcely any on c > mp! is- siorij except, indeed, on that deep compassion with wliich the speflacle of such brutality and depra- vity must . fill every Well- formed mind.!'— Sentencfc of death was then passeSt The behaviour of Estelow> in prison for seveial days evhibited a shocking spectacle of hardened depravity. Bat the humane and pious exhorta- tions of the Rev. Mr. Bynes, whose attention was most examplaryj at length produced a happier state of mind; On the evening before execution the unhappy man shewed marks of DD- P coritritior, and confessed his guilt. He owned the murder of which he was convuled, and declared that he cnuld not say what tempted him to so dreadful a deed.., HE seemed sensible of his guilt, and ar. knowlsdged in the fullest manner the justice of his sentence. On Saturday mot- ning, the 20th instant, he WAS executed on a gallows, on the esplanade, in pro* sence of a considerable part of the garrison tinder arms, of a v. » st assemblage of the native iniinbi. tants brought together to witness the death of the first Europsan who has suffered capital punM - ment in this island for twenty- five years, and f f the first human being on whom it has been inflicts ed for more than Severn LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, LONDON, Frs. C » . VtILLA1? V. HOPE. This was an aflion brought by Mr. Willan, of the Bull and Mouth, an extensive mail- coach coh- tra< 5lor, against Edward Hope, a driver, who had been in his employment, for over- driving the Leeds mail- coach, in the stage from London to Barnct, in the month of September last, ii1 consequence of which, One of the leaders dropt down dead, within four miles from Barnet. It appeared there had been a contest, or rase, between the Marichesti'F arid Leeds mails, in going Up Higbgate- hill, tiil one of the leaders of the latter falling down, the forewheel of the coach passed over his body, and rested on him for about eight minutes, the poor animal survived but a very short time; thfl re- maining three horses were likewise in a very dls » tressed state, but it was attempted to attribute this to their concern for the fate of their unfortunate companion. Lord EllenboroUgh was inclined for the plaintiff, but left the case for the Jury, whj> found for the plaintiff, damages JFFJJO, The merchants of Sweden, it is said, encouraged by the favourable disposi; ion to trade manifested by the Crown Prince, made application to him for permission to import goods from Great Britain, either by direft or indirect means. The answer was, a decided negative ; which was followed up by strifl orders to the Governor of Gottsnburgh, and to the Officers of the Custorhs, to be careful in not admitting into the ports of Sweden, British merchandize, Without instantly sequestrating the same. We have also before us an advertisement for the sale, on the 16th instant, of the cargoes tf the Carlsham vessels, s « often spoken of. The advertisement IN question sets forth, that the whole of the property is to be disposed of for the benefit of the Crown, consisting of coffee, sugar, cotton, indigo, See. Set. , THE ORIQI* OJ CHRISTMAS CAROLS Tht Word carol is supposed to be a compound of tha old Saxon words canton, to sing, and rola, an ii> terjection of joy. The ancient burthen of the song WAS Rola, Raid, Tol de Rola, which is not un- usual, even at this time, in common low s> igs, or in songs of a burlesque kind, The custom of singing an hymn on the morning of the nativity of Jesus Chi ist, is of very old standing in the Christian church, and the carol is supposed to be an imitation Of the " Glory be to God on high," SEE. which was sung by the angels, as they hover « ed over the fields of Bethlehem, on the morning of the nativity, The carol, it appears, how- ever, was not only in praflice on Christmas day, but on the days appropiated to the honour of saints, as St. Stephen's day( St. Andrew's day, Childermas, See. It Was customary also, accord- ing to Tertullian ( who lived about the year 200) " among the Christians, at their feasts, to bring those who were able to sing Into the iiiidst, and make them sing a song in honour ot God, either taken out of the Holy Scriptures, or of their own composition." The Christmas- box money is of Roman origin. With respect to mince- pies, they seem to have derived their origin from the Yule Dough ( or Dow), a kind of baby or little image of paste, which our bakers, used' formerly to make at Christmas, and present to their customers, in the same manner as the chandlers sometimes give Christmas candles. At Rome, oil the vigil of the Nativity, sweetmeats were presented to tiie fathers in the Vatican, and all kinds of lit LE images ( no docb: of paste) were to be found ac the shops of the confectioners. There is the greatest probability that We had from thence IJOTH our Yule Doughs and Mince Pies. The Yuie Dough was originally, perhaps, intended to re- present the child Jesus I it is now pretty general- ly laid aside, or at most retained only by children, though Yule cakes are still to be met with in the county of Durham. The custom of the bellman's ringing his bell and repeating verses, and the musicians, called waits, going round to annoy the neighbours with the profanation of sacred name, ( which ought to be discouraged by ail who have any reverence for their God and Savour), are alt relics of heathenish enstoms. So also are deckinr he windows. See. with holly, ivy, buy, laurel ( the Roman emblem of peace), and green boughs twelfth cakes, morice dancing, and other sports and pastimes, peculiar to this season of the year.

V- General Jansens, the late'< Governor of Java, was in the gallery of the House of Commons yesterday evening, and appeared to be very at- tentive to the discussion. It is rather strange that the place of Lord Chamberlain, which Mr. Perceval said would be filled yesterday, is still vacant, al hough the Mar- quis of Hertford was. as if by official authority, linmed for it on Wednesday ; and although great inconvenience is admitted to be felt from its con- tinuing any longer unfilled. Report says, that there is a demur about a Dukedom, which the Ivegent is stated to have promised to the Hert- ford family, but which Mr.- Perceval: is not will- ing to grant.—( Pilot.)

The Eliza Packet has arrived- at Falmouth, from New- York-, she sailed on the 11th nit. and lias brought American Papers to the 10th, as veil as dispatches from Mr. Foster to Ministers. The aspect of affairs at the seat of Government in America, is a little more pacific. No mention is made of the temporary Intercourse Bill, but it is easy to foresee, from the numerous petitions that daily'pour into Congress, from merchants who say they have contracted for the purchase of Briti ih goods, that a s rong feeling of parti- aiity v.- ill prevail in Congress in behalf of the mea- rure when it cfmes to be discussed.

NEW- TORK, FEBRUARY 2. Bv the arrival of the schooner Valona, at Baltimore, in 41 davs from Bourdeaux, we learn that the Pvesidetii'* Message had been received and published wiihou' comments. Markets for rice, fine cotton, and flour, was 12 dollars per ewt. United States Bank It is stated in the Bal- timore Fedei a! Gazette of Monday, that a mo. tion was made in the Senate of the United States on Saturday, by Mr. Bient ( from Virginia), to takein'o consideration the propriety of establish- ! ng, or reviving a National Bank. Pembrokeshire was lately visited by the most j tremendous thunder and lightning eyer known in that neighbaurhood. It set fire to the beast house and corn yard at Penlan Lauisaintpead, near Morfa Maur, which consumed the farmer's whole stock of corn, consisting of wheat, barley, pease, oats, and all his own hay, and a rick that was sold to another person; seven cowsWere saved with great difficulty, and four were burnt. T!( c dwelling house narrowly escaped.— From thence the electric fluid passed by Mabus, over Tyny Batly, without doing any damage, but struck a new farm house, called Ty Cam. It knocked down the chimney into the middle'of the house, tore off the slaving in a wonderful manner, turn- ed up the boards of the loft ( which had been strongly nailed down) on their edges, passed through and killed the farmer, who was in bed with his wife arid two young children, who slept on the ground floor ; the wife and children escap- ing unhurt. The man and his wife had been speaking together, not five minutes before of the dreadfulness of the thunder. She called again to him several times, but receiving no answer, she got out of bed with the hope of lighting a candle, but could not approach the fire pla- ce on account of the ruins and rubbish ; nor could the open the door on account of that passage also been stop- ped up. She called to a maid servant, who slept in the loft, who attempting to get out of bed, and not knowing of the boards having been forced out of their places, fell through to the ground, an< 3 hurt herself severely. The window having been forced out of its place, the wife got out that way, went to her neighbour's house for a light, and when she returned, found her husband a corpse; the youngest child ( about four months old), sleeping profoundly on his arm; and the other ( not two years old), also asleep. This aw- ful scene happened about twelve o'clock on Su'n- THB EARI, OF SR. VINCINT.-— This great and gallant Nobleman, we regret to s'ate, met with an accident on F- iday se'nni^ ht, thac was in itself sufficiency painful, and might have be- n attended with the most dreadful consequences.': His Lord- ship was sitting by himself in lx'& room,, and hav- ing occasion to reach forward, fell upon the grate* His . head c'o- mirig in contadl with one of the spikes which were placed on the top of the grate for the security of the wood, he wa* with some difficulty able to force himself back from the fire before he sustained any injury from the heat, though his ser- vants on entering, found him covere 1 with blood, from a severe laceration occasioned by the spike. His Lordship is, however, nearly recovered from the effsfls of this unoward accident. PftFSKttvATjON' Oi GAMS:.— Tuesday sc'ftnight, a Gentleman of landed property, near Norwich, ' sent 70 guns into one of his woods; when 80 brace of hares and 100 couple of rabbits were killed and carried away in three carts. He esti- mates the damage done in that singe wood, by the game, within the last year, at 300. Query— What is the estimate of damage done to the far- mers, whose lands adjoin and surround the wood : At this moment, his. son, a boy of only 14- vears of age, carr » to his father's assistance, and having got possession of his father'?- arms, he would, in all probability, have shot one of the rohbers, but for the interference of his mother, who, alarme 1 for the life of her hushanJ, restrained the hold and manlv courage of her son. To that courage, however, although held back from eSrertion by the strong and natural solicitude of conjugal af. feflion, it is not unreasonable to believe, that the husband wa* indebted for the preservation of his property and life. Cowardice is the general and prevailing cbara-£ leri-, tic of guilt. These noffur- nal depredators no sooner saw arms in the hands of the b"> y, than thev abandoned their criminal purpose, and precipita'ely left the house, taking the precaution, however, to hasp the door em the out. j s'de, in order to prote,? themselves from that pur. j suit, which they dreaded and expeded, and which they would most likely have had to encounter.— At this part of the transaction, Mr. Barron re- ceived information of what was doing, and imme- i diately repaired ' o the spo', but the party had, unfortunately, withdrawn before his arrival. Hav- ing learned, that they had fled in the direflion of Fahagh, he called upon James Barron, Esq. who j joined him with the utmost promptitude and real, and both together went in pursuit of those dis- turbers of the public peace, and continued their exertions until five o'clock on the ensuing morn- ing. They traced the party to several houses, where they had flogged different Kerrymeti in a manner the most unmerciful and barbarous, and had also bound several farmers by oath to their system of legislation. At one place, the hopes of earning up with them were strong, but unluckily not successful in the end. The two Gentlemen learned, that they had leh it only a quarter of an hour before their arrival, and having understood, bat their retreat was in the direifion of Com- aragh, they immediately took that course, examin- ing closely every public- house, and suspede. d place in that neighbourhood, but without meeting with the object of their search. There is reason to be- lieve, that they made their escape through a large b ig, through which it was impossible for their pursuers to follow them. B th M'Grath and hts" son received severe wounds, and there was, " un- happily, but too good cause to fear, that one of the KerrymeS could not survive the cruelties in- fixed upon him.—( Waterford Chronicle.) _ 1 1 11 .

I*. i before the fact, in procurib^ them to corhmittbe felony, f It appeared on the trial that Cumuskey accompanied them, and was present at the transaction, on which he was acquitted, and a new indictftient ordered to be sent up against him. The boys were convicted ; the principal ' evidence against thera was, Peter Kelly, an prover, who was corroberated by Bridget Boyle, ' lis sister. On the second trial of Cumuskey, Bridget Boyle differed materially from her former testimony ; and as she was the only corroborating witness, the Judge recommended the Jury to acqnit. The Jury retired for Jialf an hour, when they acquitted the prisoner The unfortunate Benjamin Walsh was last night expelled the House 6f Commons on the motion of Mr. Bankes, and a nfw writ immediately ordered for the election of a Member in his place for the borough of Wootton Ba- sett. Mr. Walsh could not summon resolution to attend* and sent a let- ter to the Speaker, which that Gentleman read to the House, notifying that faff, and intrea'. ihg the House to proceed on the animadversion due to his crime, which he d" d not attempt to palliate. Sir A. Pigott, Mr. Hume, Mr. Herbert, Mr. Larnhe, Mr. Whitbread, and Mr. Elliott, opposed the motion on the ground that the offence with which Mr. Walsh had been cha'ged WAS not le- gally made cut, and that the argument of moral turpitude was too general to be applied in this case only. The moral turpitude of Mr. Walsh was, however, considered U> o great to allow him to remain in the exercise of so great a public trust, as that of a Representative of the People, or to allow the other Representatives to sit and associ- ate \ fitb him. There were a few precedents also sufficiently in point to warrant the expulsion.— But the determination of the House has, we un- dets; and, giver, rise to another question of moral turpitude, which we hope will be adjusted with- out the interposition of the House, although the propriety of the removal of the grounds of it would be weli worthy of consideration, at a time when an individual instance of baseness is con- ceived to call indispensibly for so severe an ani- madversion. The pew question to which we al- lude consists of several minor questions. It is this: Mr. Walsh's seat being understood to be a purchased one, is there an obligation in the seller, by the law which is called " honour among thieves," to return to him a fair proportion of the purchase- money ? Or, is the person about to be eleflAd to give a consideration for the short seat, a dissolution Being in due course very near, to Mr. Walsh, instead of the proprietor of the borough ? Or, is Mr. Walsh to be allowed to name his successor ? Or, is the borough proprietor to have his second disposal of his seat as a free gift from the House of Com- mons, in consideration for his public services in sending such worthy Members to take care of the public money and that of their friendsOr, is it more equitable to assign it to Sir T. Plomer, as a paitial indemnity for his loss ? Or, have the As signees under Walsh's bankruptcy a lien upon it, as part of the assets accruing to them for the be. nt fit of the creditors ? Amidst all these questions, • we must confess we see no step, or conscientious course, but to sell the seat to the highest biddei ; not by public aufficn, for that may give scandal, but privacy, as seats are sold now, and to pay ihe money into Chancery, to be adjudged by Lord Eldon, after mature deliberation, to the person or persons best entitled in equity. If charity could be allowed to interfere, we would suggest the pro. priety of Lord Gastlereagh's giving, or getting, a Wittership for one ot the young Walsh's, or some other person t0 he named by Mr. Walsh, v ho, in addition to the short term ol Mr. Walsh's original tenure, which, it honour, is still unexpired, may be bound to find a seat for the person to be named by the Noble Lord, for such farther term as may amount to the full value of a Writership, in regular parliamentary barter, as settled in the Earl of Clancartr's an— f Pilot.) One of the most daring robberies was commit- ted at Reading,- on Monday, that we ever heard of. The Judges entered the town for ' he purpose of holding the Assize, Mr. Serjeant Mar dull. of- Related as Judge for Mr. Justice Lawrence. When coming out of church in grand procession, the Serjeant Judge in hts robes wa- s hurtled and rob- bed of bis gold watch and seals. One of the merciless villains who- lately robbed and wounded a soldier near Lincoln, was last week seen by a servant lad at South- Kyme, in the aft of picking the lock of a barn- door on Mr. Parker's premises there, and being challenged by the youth, the fellow immediately fastened upon him, and with a 1 irge knife, which he drew from a case, cut a deep gash across one of the poor lad's thighs, and infixed qtlier wounds.. The cries of the sufferer, and - of a little boy who was near, induced the ruffian t(? run off; and lie un- fortunately eluded pursuit. A letter from Nottingham, dated the 2d inst. says—" This town yesterday ( Sunday) presented a novel, and. in some degree, a terrific appearance. The military quartered here attended Diyin • Ser. vice with fixed bayonets, to the no small surprise of the inhabitants, as there has not been the small- . j est appearance of coi motion for the last week. An opinion prevailed ( as I am informed) among the Cons ituted Authorities, that an attempt was to be made upon ihe county prison, for the libe- ration of the numerous persons confined there, on snspicion of Ijeing one way or other concerned in the breaking of frames: a guard of 12 soldiers is, therefore, placed at the prison, to prevent any surprise. An express arrived last night for as many of the hussars as could be spared, to pro- ceed, without delay, to Sheffield, the soldiers be- ing drawn from thence to Huddersfield. ic. where, we understand, serious riots continue ; accordingly a party proceeded for that place at three o'clock this morning. To- day the whole of the troops in this town and neighbourhood were reviewed by General Hawker, and, with the two pieces of ar. tiilery belonging to the Royal Bucks, the whole presented a martial and imposing appearance.— From the unavoidable increase of paupers, the Poors'- rates have become here an insupportable burden." This dny proposals were sent to the Stock Ex- change for a Lottery of 20,000 Tickets to be di- vided into two Lotteries, each Lottery to consist. of not more than 12,900 or less than 8,000 Tickets, one day's drawing for each - Lottery, and the last Lottery to be drawn op the - tth of June.

London Papers of Friday the 6th instant, are the latest we have received; they do not contain any political intelligence of importance, but some miscellaneous e* traffs in a- preceding column will be found not uninteresting. The Boston Patriot, of the Nth u- lt, gives a brief summary of the business in the House of Representatives. On the 4th of February the bill for arming and classifying the Militia of the United States, was engrossed for a third reading, after a division of 62 to 59. It seems the pro- ject of classifying tlie ages of persons who are to serve in the Militia is likely- to meet some oppo- sition. A Bill to empower the President of the United States to mount and equip the light artil- lery, a part of the additional military force to be . titised, was reported without amendment, and ordered ror a third reading. The House also re- scived itself into a Committee of , the Whole on the Bill for making a further- appropriation for the defence of the maritime- frontier. Tlie blank in the Bill was filled up with one million of dol- lars, and the Bill reported to the. House and or- dered for a third reading. The American soldiers are- to be enlisted for five years, to receive, a bounty of sixteen dollars, and on obtaining an honourable discharge, each man will receive three months' pay and one hun- dred and fifty acres " f landj, a compensation which devolves to his heirs or representatives, in the event of being killed, or dying in the service.

Captain HESDRICK ' NORMAN, of the galliot Aurora, bound from Gottenburgh to Dublin, put into Belfast Lough on Saturday last, in distress, having lost part of his rigging and hawsers.— In a dreadful storm, on the 23d ult. off Iceland, driving with an unfavourable wind,, the Aurora shipped a heavy sea, which swept one'of his men overboard; being, however, providentially as it were, thrown on deck again by the violence of the waves, ke had just expressed his thanks to heavep fox his escape, observing, that he was . never born to be. drowned, when he and four sea- men were washed off the deck, and he and one of the men were never seen again, but the other three were saved. The Captain reports, that on Saturday 29ih pit. about 72 leagues off Shetland, he fell in with a- brig, apparently a Danish vessel, timber- loaded, with her masts carried away, having no people on board ; and on Tuesday 3d inst. came close up with a large American ship, about 8 leagues from the Lewisis, timber- loaded, without a soul on board, carrying all her masts, painted white, and part of her miaen and one gun laying on deck, with her rudder in pieces, the water making a free passage through her stern, and blowing a perfect gale, st* as to prevent his boarding her.

In con- sequence of some reports injurious to the charac- ter of his wife, we understand a solsmn invesfiga- tion wps made in Lisburn, under the direftion of three Magistrates, on the 9th inst. by which it appeared, from the depositions of several credible witnesses who had the bast opportunity of know- ing, that she always supported an irreproachable charafler— that she and her husband lived in un- interrupted harmony and mutual afFedion— thar. he was strongly attached- to his wife ar. d children, and went to Belfast with a firm intention of re- turning home in the evening ; and- that there sin no debts affe& ing him of such magnitude, as could induce him to absent himself. It also clearly ap- peared, by the most siMisfaflqry evidence, that, ha was a sober, industrious, inoffensive man ; ard that neither domestic nor pecuniary embarrass- ments had any share in causing, under these cir. cumstances, his extraordinary and hitherto unac- countable absence. CAPTAIN JOSEPH DfiBBS, As it may be gratifying to the friend? of the deceased to see recorded any circumstance that redounds to their honour, we insert the- Toliowitlg anecdote of Captain Joseph Dobbs, of the 52 f Regiment, who, : o the sincere grief and regret i f every connexion, fell so gloriously iti- the arms of victory, on the top of the breach of Citfdad Rotf<- rigo, with Major- General M'Kinnon. The cirJ cumstance alluded to, happened when he volun- teered from the Antrim Militia, then stationed at Co'k, with Sir James Pultcney, in his expedition to Ferrol. While lying in Vigo Bry, the Lieu- tenant of the ship he was on board of saw an opportunity of cutiitig out a corvette ;• Mr. D > bbs, then only a boy, offered his services, and evinced such gallantry in boarding,, saving the Lieute- nant's life, and killing his opponent in a fair con test with swords, that he received thanks for hrs condudt and a recommendation for a commission, which he immediately obtained in the 52J Regi-: merit of F^ iot. His subsequent steady attention' to his duty; ' the approbation he received on seve- ral occasions from his commander; the universal esteem lie was held in by his brother olKcers; the fatherly affecfion shewn him by his Li. ute- uant- Colonel ( we believe Conran), who, though an utter stranger, while he correited and checked his juvenile fillies, privately lodged mmey to secure his promotion to a Lieutenancy, are docu- ments sufficient of his merit, and lamented fall. He was the fifth son of the late Francis D > bbs, Member for Charlemont at the Union, whose probity of mind- and disinterestedness of conduft, made him attend more to what he conceived the good of his country, than the advantage of him- self or family, and to apply those talents, conspi- cuous in many of bis writings and public speeches, to visionary pursuits, virion uy as to the reclaim- ing mankind or their constitution, in the present corrupted state of the world, where virait d ies not always meet its reward.

In 7011 fair TOWN,* where L.< OAN' » lazy stream Steals softly past, and nien of commerce dream ; Where wealtN where fashion, hold the gay levee, Or dry the tear of each wan wretch they see ; Where merit ever finds a sure reward, Ar< 4 each has the pood wisnes of our hard ; Where DBUMMOND^ learn'd, with all a poet's art, In verse majestic, sways at will th* heart; Where BALrouvf strike* her lyre, the silver sound, JERNE hears, and spreads her fame around j Where BUNTINO, eager for his country's praise, Snatches from Time, the songs of other days, The HAP* new strings, that long aside was thrown— Throughout the " EMERALD ISLE," long be it known; Where sons of genius, bow'd by want or care, Too little ktiowr, sing " to the desert air" ;— There am I found Yes, I'm at each one's call, And some to me attribute their downfall; Strange falsehoods, these; for I wou'd none offendj But to the multitude would be a friend. I'm known kings, and am to kings unknown, Thfl' round them daily is my influence shewn. T* m oft- times Trnnd in France's gay domain. With Sans culottes— and ev'n with haughty Spain j With slovenly Mynheer, I too am seen; And am the f » v'rite of a Mandarin?, In Scotland, more than Ireland, am I priz'd; In many parts hf England much despis'd. Behold yon captive in his dank dark cell, With such as he. I'm ne'er asham'd to dwell; Th' insolvent debtor, from all friends exil'd, With haggard look, where health once blooming smil'd. The thoughts of happy years, long Since flown by, Bresk night's repose, and force the daily » igh; Yet, ' mid the solemn stillness of the night, Aided by nie, ev'n be tastes pure delight; With my assistance, he his foes may dare, Hope's rays. on him I dart, now cause despair ; I'm from afar, and little known afar— I'm priz'd by seamen, scorn'd by many a tar ; The dauntless sailor on the giddy mast, Draws comfort from me, ' mid the roughest blast; He toi s submissive, .'• corning to complain, Laughs, jokes, and sings, then thinks of me again. The shiv'ring centinel, I too can cheer, Or down his manly cheek, force many a tear. The peasant, happy in his straw- roof'd cot, Beholds me— in a trice beholds me not; And oft a- field with him, care « s'd I'm seen, But ' ere next morn, he knows net what I mean. I'm peen with Be « s the beggar, in the street; Princes, alas! don't know me, when we meet; Many they are, who know me not by name— Many they are, I da'' y put to shame; Some great men know me not, some weak ones do; Some mortals I enrich, some ruin t6o. The lawyer, doftor, parson, I befriend ; And at the grave, some heroes I attend. Now for my colour— still am I at ease, I'm white, red, black, blue, green, whate'er you please, And as for form, I'm lusty now, now spat e, Now perpendicular, now round, now square, " Diagonal, ay hoiizontal tow. Believe our author, faith he tells you true; Now long, now short, and now so very smalt, Saddle your nose, I'm scarcely view'd at all. I, l'rcteus like, change fifty times a- day.

In the twelve years, from 1787 to 1798, both inclusive, total, 18,633/ 212 quarters; annual average, 1,136,101 quarters: and in the twelve years from 1796 to 1810, both inclusive, total, i7,004,031 quarters: annual average, 1,417,003 quarters. The actual importation in 1809, was 1,653,168 quarters; and in 1810, 2,221,951 quarters. The Austrian Governors in the Bannat and in Sclavonia have been making experiments to plant cotton in those provinces. The experiments were attended with such success, that extensive plan- tation? are ordered to be made there in the pre- sent spring. M. Westl, of Penzing, in Austria, has discover- ed a method of expressing oil from grape kernels, mild, of a good taste, and without the least smell, and even said not to be inferior in quality to oil of olives. Bonaparte has given another proof of his anxiety to perfeifl ihe cultivation of sugar from beet- root. By a decree, dated the 15th January, the manu- facturers of beet- root sugar at Douay, Strasburgb, and several other towns in Frauce, are established a? special chemical schools, for instrutfion in the i manufacture of that article. One hundred scholars, seleiled fiom students in medicine, pharmacy, and j chemistry, are to be distributed among these i schools: each student, when he shall have studied j three months, and obtained a certificate of his j ability to condutft a manufactory, to receive a re- muneration of 1000 francs. A negociatien has been carrying on between his Majesty's Ministers and the Directors of the East India Company, on the subject of the re- newal of their charter. At present there exists in India two distinct armies, one called the Com- pany's forces, and the other composed of his Ma- jesty's regular troops. In consequence of the late important conquests in the Indian seas, which puts that Government in possession of all India j to the eastward ot the Cape of Good Hope, and of the vast importance of that country to Great Britain, Ministers propose that there shall no longer be two distinct armies in India, but that all the Company's forces shall be made over to his Majesty. This is stated to be at present the principal object of negociation; but there are some others, of which one is, that the subjects of this country shall be allowed to trade with our settlements in India upon the same terms as Ame- ricans, Swedes, and Danes. The illcstrious La Plat?!- nas lately been created k a Count of the French Empire, and other titles of J nobility have been conferred on the tflost distin- I guished Savans in Franc?. In short, the triumphs of Napoleon are, it must candidly be admitted, as great in Arts as in Arms, and the danger to old establishments, and to the domination of prejudices* is as imminent from the influence of one as from the efFefls of the other. We wish, therefore, to see him as VIGOROUSLY OPPOSED, by the British government, in his patronage of Letters and Arts, as ia the field of Mars; and the ascendancy of blockheads, sycophants, and unprincipled lawyers, give way, at ihe British Court, to the authority of learning, science, and philosophy! Such a contest woul 1 be more worthy of the dignity of human nature than the miserable waste of blood, in which, for ten years, we have been foolishly engaged ! How grateful it would be to see a batch of Peers created from among our Men of Letters, ( our iti- telleftual nobles) instead of being sele& ed, as in the reign of Charles the Second, from among per- sons distinguished only for the baseness of their sycophancy, their skill in quibbling at Westmin- ster, and their feats over the bottle or on the race- course at Newmarket! Napoleon will, we fear, have strong pretensions to the title of Le Grand, till the British Court magnanimously, and with its wonted power, shall oppose him in arts as well as arms, and give their legitimate ascendency in the State to genius, science, and literature. The un- equivocal honors conferred in universities or in scientific institutions, ought, in a civilized and en. lightened age, to became at least as certain steps to wealth and diitindlion, as successful sophistry in that venal profession which, unhappily for Bri- tain, has for many years been one of the most ac- cessible paths to rank and power. We have received and read with great satisfac- tion the Report of the Society for the support of Gaelic Schools in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland ; the president of which is the Right Hon. the Earl of Moray ; the treasurer, John Campbell, Esq.; the secretaries, Mr. Christopher Anderson, Mr. Robert Paul; and, Mr. John Campbell, the Gaelic secretary. The sole obje£ l of this institu- tion is to teach the inhabitants of the Highlands and Islands, to read the Sacred Scriptures in their native tongue. The Report exhibits, among Other derails, the following fafls:— The Highlands and Western Islands of Scotland comprehend not less than one hundred and sixty- two parishes. The Islands form thirty- one of these, and there are about one hundred and thirty- one on the Main Land, where the Gaelic language is either preached or generally spoken. The total population of these is at present estimated at nearly four hundred thousand, of which between ninety and one hundred thousand inhabit the Islands alone. Nmwithstand- ing the various sources of de population, it now appears that the inhabitants of these parts are, in fa< 2, annually on the increase; nay, in the course of the last sixty years, ( that is, since 1750,) the population of almost every Highland paiish, and every Island, has been doubled ON T lie MAIN [.

There is to be an uninterrupted horse towing path ; and the w iter is to be retained by pond locks. The whole tonnage, when all the improvements are made, will be very trifling. From Reading to Staines it is under jurisdiction of Commissioners, and from Staines to London, under that of the Corporation of London. Tlie rise from the tideway between Brentford and Reading is 94 feet. The Kennet and Avon canal admits barges 7o feet long and 13 feet 6 inches wide, carrying about 50 tons, and rises 216 fact. The River Avon from Bath to Bristol, is rtjade navigable by means ot six locks, but there being no horse tow- ing- path* the boats are dragged by men ; in 1811 an act, however, was obtained for making a canal to su- persede the navigation of this river. The fall from Bath to Bristol is 34 feet. By means of these con- nected navigations, a complete communication will be made between London and Bristol, affording convey- ance for the various articles of merchandize, which require to be transported between these two great ports. It appears that from London to Bristol are carried East India commodities and Baltic produce. And from Bristol to London, iron, tin, brass, copper, spelter, Welsh and Irish butter, and provisions; and from Berkshire, corn, malt, and flour. Corn is car- ried eastward and westward, according to the state of the markets. A paper by Count Rumford, has been read at the Royal Society, on the nature of light. The Count, ( irmly persuaded that it is of great commercial im- portance to increase the quantity of light, and that this luminous power has no distinct material existence, proceeded to make a number of experiments on wax tapers and a photometer. He began by weighing the combustible matter consumed or transformed during a given time, and compared the light emitted in pro- portion to thq wax burnt. In nine such experiments lie satisfied himself that the light emitted bore no in- variable proportion to the quantity of combustible matter consumed j but that with small tapers, which yielded very little light, there was a very considerable increase of heat. Here he was induced to make some observations on the nature of heat, or heated bodies, so far as their luminous qualities were concerned ; all of which, he thought, tended to confirm his opinion, that there is no such matter in existence as light, and that the philosophers may for ever torture their ima- ginations about its nature and qualities, without being the wisi'r. He observed, that na person ever looked for the Bature and properties of sound in fulminating powder, and it is equally idle to look for those of light in combustible bodies. He has however made a very philanthropic and important discovery, namely a poly- flame lamp, consisting of a number of burners, with wicks flat like a ribbon, and so placed one by the side of another that the air can pr « ss between them, at the same time that they are duly supplied with oil. Some flat wick arranged in this manner, side by side, sup- plied with oil, and covered with a large glass which rose several inches above the flame, yielded as much light as - 1- Cf candles I It is is said that, in the convent of Mount Athos, a Greek manuscript has been found, which contains the text of about 80 comedies, supposed to be the works of Menander and of Philemon. Doubtless Asia Minor and Turkey abound in these curiosities, as well as the religious houses in Russia. A patent has been obtained in the United States, for a new mode of tanning. In the specification it is stated, that sheep- skins can be tanned in 12 or 16 hours; calf- skins from about 21 to 58 hours, after being deprived of their hair ; upper leather from 3 to 5 days ; and sole leather from 5 to 15 or 20 days, according to the thickness of the hides.

FRANCE.— M. Blanchard, a watch- maker at Portentru, announces, as the fruit of thirty- four years of labor aad study, a repeating watch, with a new scapefnent and movement. This new scape- ment is intended to regulate with the utmost ac- curacy, the motion of the balance- wheel, by di- minishing con iderably the number of oscillations. It is well known ibat the ordinary scapement gives 17,3( iO hourly ; this of M. Blanchard gives only 7,230; and on this diminution is founded the su- perior accuracy and steadiness of performance.— With these advantages the inventor has connected another, that the repeating movement is ailed upon by the same motive principle as adluates the wheel- work. And further, the moving power by which the watch ails, is capable of being exerted during seven days without being wound up. The treasury of the sftate of Connecticut, in May: cases in which the contagion is so extremely diffusible*. thut hardly any person exposed to is escapes. To illustrate this position, may be cited the well- known hlach assizes at Oxford, when about three hundred individuals were infected, merely from the effluvia arising from the prisoners at the bar.' - At the Old Bailey too, in 1750, the prisoners who were themselves well enough to attend their trial, came into court, so strongly impregnated with the matter of contagion, that one judge, one magistrate, one un- der- sheriff, and about eighteen persons in court, were, infected with the fever, and died within less than a fortnight from the time.— At Edinburgh, a city,_ in general, remarkably exempt from this fever, a few- years ago a number of medical students were affectcd ith it, and its origin amongst. tliem was clearly traced to a patient in the infirmary, in the first instance; and afterwards spread from their visiting each other. In Sweden, not long ago, the fever was so infectious, and of such malignant character, amongst the troops, several thousands being laid down with it at one time, that the officers and attendants merely passing through the wards of the hospital to enforce the necessary re- gulations, Were seized with the complaint. The pes- tilential feVer which committed such ravages in Gib- raltar, in iS04, was distinctly traced to one indivi- dual. Dr. Haygarth, in a letter to the College of Physicians at Philadelphia, dated 16th of October, 1806, remarks, « I think proper to acquaint you,, that in consequence of earnest exhortations, I have prevailed on Dr. Fellowes, Physician to the forces at Gibraltar, to undertake a diligent inquiry in what manner the pestilential fever was brought into that garrison. He is returned to Lngland, and has rend his papers to me. After much patient and judiciouj investigation, he discovered, Iseyond all doubt, th;, t one Sancho had been an inmate of a family at Cadiz, when they were ill of this pestilence ; and he left Cadiz on the 25th of August, 1804', and was attacked with this distemper in Gibraltar, whither he J^ id re turned, on the 27th. Sancho kept a retail grocer's Shop. Near it was a canteen, or liquor- shop, whither the fever soon spread. Fiom these two houses, with which numerous visitors had undoubtedly houtly in- tercourse, who had not the least suspicion that thejr contained any infectious patients, many families in the- near neighbourhood speedily received this mortal dis- temper. Dr. Fellowes shewed me a ground plan which he had taken of the streets first infected, thtft illustrated in an excellent manner the progress of the epidemic. In consequence of the fatal error and po- sitive assurances that this pestilential fever was not in fectious, you know that it rapidly spread, attacked about 12,000, and became mortal to between 5 and 6000 patients." The benefit to be derived from our knowledge of these facts, is to persevere in urging and applying those means of prevention which our art commands, as steadily as though the enemy were at hand, and not to relax in our vigilance and exertious, because present appearances are favourable. " Frincipiis obsta, sero mcdirina paratur Cum mala pel- longas convaluere moras." SAMUEL FOTHEKGIU., M. D. Leicester Square, Feb. 25, 1812. i ENGLISH AGRICULTURAL REPORT. The continuance of heavy rains through the month, with the usual mildness of the weather, has proved injurious to the young Wheats, by ' orcing them much beyond their seasonable' growth. The early Beans have suffered, by root- ij ing in the ground, and the general sowing is ' much retarded from the same cause. A consi- derable breadth of Oats has been got in upon leys in the Eastern Counties ; but the tallowed lands, in almost every district, are found too wet to stir for Barley. Indeed, most of the preparatary operations for Spring cultivation have necessarily been suspended, from the ungenial weather which has prevailed through the winter. The young plants of Clover are generally good ; and the Kyc and Winter Tare Pianis shew well for spring seed. The Turnips, in most counties, are running pre- maturely for bloom. The Hay Markets are low- er, from the openness of the season. - Considerable droves of Beasts, principally Scots and Irish, are come on Epping Forest, and have hitherto been sold at high prices. Store Sheep are somewhat cheaper. Smithfield has been well supplied witti prime Beef and Mutton, on terms but little vary- ing from those of the preceding month ; but Veal and House Lamb fetch rather less money. The Wool Trade has become a little briskir, owing to Merino Fleeces selling pretty freely for As 6d. and fine South Down %. per pound, A letter has been received from a respectable Gentleman just returned to the West Indret, by which we are grieved to hear that a slave ship was fallen in with on the passage which had left the coast of Africa with 100 slaves, ten of whom had died : three of the whites had also died, the Captain '. vas ill, the whole appearance of the ves- sel was miserable, and shp was in so leaky a state, that it was thought she could hardly reach land. The Captain, pretending to be a Spaniard, bound to Cuba, hoisted Spanish colours; but as'he spoke English so well, there was every reason to believe he was an Englishman, or an American, and was going to smuggle the slaves into some American port— When the Mate went on board the slave ship, two of the poor negroes, supposing he was come to release them, lfted up their shackled hands, and exclaimed, " O King George ! King George 1"— The ship, we regret to hear, was not captured, but suffered to proceed with her miser- able and Unlawful cargo, either to perish in the waves, or to be sold in the market like beasts. At Cavan Assizes, which terminated on Friday last, upwards of sixty persons were convicted of • the offence of using unlicensed stills. Three- fourths of the above number submit'ed. One of the unfortunate men, on being asked by Mr. Baron M'Clelland if he had any thing to offer in extenu- ation of his offence, replied—" Yes, my Lord ; I am guilty, to be sure, but I don't think youi- Lordship will punish me for making a little drop for the decent burial of my poor mother.

Acute complaints, though more prevalent than they were last month, are still unfrequent for the season, which continues open and mild. Catarrh is increas- ing, but the symptoms, hitherto, have been slight, as have those of most of the inflammatory affections, corded in the present list. A solitary case of typhus fever has occurred. The rareness of this complaint of late years is remarkable. At the beginning of February 1800, it spread rapidly among the poor, with the most malignant symptoms, and considerable mortality. To what are we to at- tribute our present happy exemption from one of the most fatal maladies that ever visits us ? It may be al- leged, that since the period alluded to, a fever- house has been established, into which every person may be removed, as soon as it is ascertained that he is seized with fever ; that the source of contagion is thus im- mediately destroyed by enforcing certain effectual re- gulations ; whilst the patient experiences treatment more suitable to his peculiar complaint than he could obtain elsewhere, even if in affluent circumstances.— It may be urged, too, that the general practice in typhus is now more simple, rational, and efficacious than formerly ; that greater attention is paid to clean- liriess, to white- wash, and preserve the habitations of the poor in a wholesome condition ; and that the streets, in general, are wider arid better ventilated. Doubt- i less all these causes operate beneficially, though they j can hardly be deemed adequate to account for the ex- i emption which has continued several years, whilst the improvements alluded to have been only gradual and progressive. At tile period, also, when the complaint, was seldom seen in London, it prevailed in an alarm- ing degree at Dublin ; yet in that city a fever- house is established upon an admirable and most liberal plan, and the physicians have exerted their utmost efforts _ and Skill to check the progress and diminish the fa- I j aoms of Carthagen~ a and Truxillo have been ad tality of the fever. .,,,„, ti ded to the Confederation, and S..
