WEDNESDArTAUGUST 4. It was yesterday currently reported on Exchange, tliat the Earl of Aberdeen would set out on Friday for the Continent. His lordship, we understand, will ac- company the mission which proceeds to the head- quarters of the allies, for the purpose of investing the Emperor Alexander with the insignia of the Order of- the Garter. The mission consists of F. Townsend, Esq. Windsor Herald, deputed by Garter, to act in his place, with the approbation of the Prince Regent j and Sir T. Tyrwlutt, ir, his qualify of Black Rod, with his private Secretary F. Pulmaii, Esq. and G. Bellz, Esq. Secretary to the Commission. H. Stevenson, Esq. Falcon Herald Extraordinary, two King's Mes- sengers, and several olher persons are attached to the mission. The Cydnus frig- ate is preparing at Sheernes; for their reception, which will take place either to- morrow or Friday. Accounts in the French papers, from Copenhagen, of the 8th ult. state, that " the Bailiff Count de Trampe, as well as several wholesale merchants, have been arrested in Norway; on suspicion of having held secret intercourse with Sweden, and caused corn to be exported. The report still continues that troubles have broken out in Sweden." The expedition under Sir J. B. Warren had been seen entering tlie Chesapeake Bay, and great prepara- tions for the hostile reception of it are said to have been rn^ de at Norfolk ; but the capture of the Cliesa. peake, by the Shannon, with which our seamen were acquainted, is Said so to have iniained theiu with emulation, that, whether on water or shore, tbev would not be easily resisted. A Bermuda paper States, that Captain Broke received the wound in his head from a sabre, while in the act of rescuing two American seamen from the fury of our boarders. Advices have been received from Billioa to the 23d ult. and from one of our ships off St. Sebastian's to the 24th ; from which we learn, that Lord Wellington had made no movement of consequence since the date of his last official oimnon^- W In , Biscay much enthusiasm is staled to prevail, and great numbers were collecting to join the army of reserve under the Cotide del Abisbal. The following is given as an accurate view of the position of the force under Field Marshal the Marquis of Wellington :— The 1st and 5th divisions ( Pack's and Bradford's) are before St. Sebastian's, under General Graham; the 1th and light divisions; oil tile right of the Bidassoa river, yet still within the Spanish fron- tier, and near Lesaco j Giron is with the G- tllicia. it army, at Iruu; Longa between Irun aud Lesaco ; the 3d, 4th, and 6tli divisions are withdrawn from Pampeltma, and marching to Lesaco, to joiu the Marquis of Wel- lington ; the 2d divisions and the Contle d'Auiarintlie's ( Silviera's) occupy respectively the two great passes of Roncevallos and Maya— the one from Pampeluna to Bayonne, the olher from Pampeliuia to St. Jem Port de Pied ; O'Donnel, with the Spanish army of reserve, still continues lo blockade Pampeluna. Oil the other side, the enemy's force, under Soult, is reported to be thils situated:— Head quarters at Bayoune; his line extends along the Adoura river, and a small river j which flows into the Adoura, from Bayoune to Oleron ; i his right resting upoti the former place, his left on the j latter; he has also one aJvanced guard at St. Jeau I Port de Pied, and another at Puerto de Bera. It is stated in a morning paper, that a challenge had been given by an officer high in command in the Alicant expedition, to Admiral Hallowell, in consequence of I some expressions which had fallen from the latter; and i that the Admiral had declined the clialle ; e until the officer should have cleared himself before a Court Martial. The Perth Courier of last week says, " as the friends of Sir T. Graham will naturally feel anxious from the newspaper report of his being wounded, we arc happy in being able to give the following from the best authority. On the 25th of June, nt the attack of Tolosa, a hall grazed his hip bone, but which did not prevent him being on horseback on that and several succeeding days. The only consequence from it, on the 4th of this mouth, was Ins requesting a few rlavs rest, to get rid of the inflammation occasioned by tlie contusion." The present consort of Bonaparte arrived at Mavence on the 25th ult. She is represented in the French papers as having been received in all the towns through which she passed, with the most eager homage. The Paris Journals do not inform us whether she had been joined by Bonaparte. Orders are received at Portsmouth fo report all sea- men among the prisoners of war ( Frenchmen anil Italians excepted) who wish to enter into the navy ; ! also of all soldiers, as above, who wish lo enter as landsmen into the marines, i Upwards of 30 Englishmen came passengers from Hamburgh in the last packet from Heligoland, most of them in great distress. They were obliged by a Decree of the Minister of Police to quit Hamburgh in 24 hours; some of them, though in ill health, were dragged from their beds, and forced to take their departure. It is reported that Mr. Abbott will lie called up to the House of Peers before the next session of Parlia- ment; and that he will be succeeded as Speaker of the House of Commons by Mr. Manners Sulton. At the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the county of Hants, David King, a butcher at Win- chester, who had been some time employed by R. Hare, of Weymouth, the Subcontractor for supplying the soldiers iu the district wilh meat, was tried for having used a false pair of scales, by which the soldiers were defrauded of one pound and'a half of beef out of every 10 pounds weight. After a very long trial, i: i which he was assisted bv Counsel, he was found guilty, and sentenced to pay a tine of £ 100 to the Kiu ;, and be imprisoned 12 months, in the common gao', aDd until the fine be paid.

St. cb great exertions hate been made for the Earl of Aber- deen leaving town, that a carriage has actually been built'for him in less than a week. His lordship, it is understood, will be landed at Stralsnnd, whence he will proceed to the pre sent residence of the Emperor of Austria, in Bohemia; having a mission to that Monarch, which, ' it is said, must be fulfilled before the opening of the Congress, or, at least, before a Minister from Ibis country takes ai( y Part in the pio. • eriiugs :> f that assembly.

The dieises ofthe novel visitors aie in the Moorish style, and are very splendid; the attendants are fine looking men. It is Said that Sadi Hadge flaun t Erzine is a relative of the Em- peror of Morocco. It appears fiom Ihe Paris papers, that Massena has been sent to Italy, to take a command in the army of Observation Collected between the Piave and Ihe Adlige, Among the very curious letters found in the baggage of Joseph Bonaparte and Marshal joit'dnn, taken liv the 15th Hussars, at Vittoria, there are some between Joseph and Napoleon which would, at a future dav, enable the historian to developc what at present appears very mysterious. Joseph informs his brother, that Soult has designs against the Crown of Fiance, and hie of Napoleon, and that be has heen in- triguing with many other Generals. Sonlt, in return, accuses Joseph of treating with tbe brigands, as be terms the Gueril- las, and informs Napoleon, that, under tbe table, he has a verv good understanding with same of their Chiefs. Extract of a letter from a young odicer, serving under Field Marshal Wellington, in Spain, to his uncle, dated iii front of Pampeluna, July 5, 1813: " In the gieat battle of the 41 st ult. Hie enemy were so confident of victory, iliat tbey dirl not make any arrangements respecting the wives of the officers of the aiulv, even of Ihe highest rank. The Countess Gr. zan, the wife of the Marshal who was second iu command, was among the number that were taken ; but every attention was paid to them, and t'ney were all sent to Pampeluna, with a flag ol truce, next day. in their respective carriages, some of which were of the most elegant description; the entire household of King Joseph we also had the honour of laying hands on ; and Ills in. ney, plate, cloatlis of all kinds, were handed about our camp that night for sale by our men, who were also happy in having fallen upon the waggons cnntaiiiing his pi° st choice wines ami delicacies of all sorts; and wu may suppose that our having nothing but half a pound V wheat and a pound of very miserable meat, for more tliarfj ten davs before, for each day's ration, which we washed down with muddy water, it having rained incessantly all the time, gave us no small appetite for the luxuries that weie then sel befote us, after the dangers and fatigues of the day ; our men, reserving their brandy for themselves, gave the officers of the different companies the Claret, Champagne, and Burgundy in profusion ; the only things I could get bold of, ar. d which 1 hope one of these days ' o present you with, my dfcar sir, are a brace of the King's pistols and half a dozen of his spunns, silver forks, and a soup ladle, which I wish, for the name of the thing, were now on youi side- board; they are not of much value, but their having beeu his en- hances it." The following is believed tube an accurate account of the introduction of the plague into Malta. A. vessel arrived iliere on the 1st of' April, fiom Alexandria, and it was reported that a contagious fever vvas on board. This ship was immediately ordered into st? lct quarantine. The fever, as it was misnamed, not subsiding, after 18 days, the vessel wnslordered toleave the naihour, aiid return to Alexandria. Intel,- r8< M>. „ « « • .. r>^. wards received from Alexandria, staling that 1- bales of goods vveie missing ; and uo doubt is enter tained of their having been fraudulently introduced into Malta. Their loss cannot at least be accounted for in any olher way ; and their trans- fer to the island has been inosr fatally evinced. That spirit, which never suffers its possessor to rest, has, it is said, urged Bonaparte to acts uf vengeance, when lie has none of valour lo perforin, Davcru. t is reported to have re- ceived tbe directions of his maslcr, lo demand uf the Danish Government tin' surrender of a'l those persons, lately belong^ ing to the Hau- eaiic Legion,, who had taken refuge in HoUtein, since the re- occupation of Hamburgh by the French. The Danish Government, we understand, affected compliance with the request made to it; but somehow or other, as the emotions of natuie will generally be loo powerful or ton subtle for the mandates of tyranny, tne persons sought for effected tireir escape before the order for their apprehension could be carried into effect, lu contemplating this single act of Bonaparte, one cannot but be forcibly struck with the pre- eminent mal. i'nitv of his nature. There, have been many in stances wherein tyrants have demanded that the rivalaof their thrones should be given up to them by allied states ; but the poor Hamburghers are uo rivals uf Bntapaite; they have merely sought the liberation of their own little territory from his oppressive sway, ami have failed in tbe enterprise. FRIDAY, AUGUST 6. The Quebec Papers to the 2d ult. contain a letter frotn Montreal, dated Juue 26, which state, that in addition to the number of boats wi. h provisions and stores, camp equipage, & c. taken and destroyed by tbe squadron, and the advanced- guard of Brigadier- General Vincent's armv, on the 6th and 10th inst. that SirJ.

The King of Denmark is said to have given Davoust the command of all the Danish troops in Holslein. The Russian Papers contain an Order of the Day, by the new Commander in Chief, Barclay De Tolly. It is written in a military spirit, and vve hope its injunctions will he enforced, or rather complied with voluntarily without enforce- ment. The Russians and Piii- sians mav both rest assured, that thev wilt find - Bonaparte ready to resume the war witn awful effect, if a peace is not cm, eluded — ave, and even to violate the peace, if it should be concluded, the next moment, except lie finds them equally prepared to stand foi th as the warlike conservators of it. The accounts received from Holstein, by the G ttenbnrgh Mail which arrived last night, represent the inhabitants of Hamburgh as continuing to suffer every species of indignity from their oppressors. I'. veil ladies of tlie first respectability, who had displayed their zeal in the cause of freedom, as well as gentlemen, are compelled to give their assistance at tbe fortifications.

The lauding of the General was to have taken place on the 27 th tilt, with suitable honours.

" U, K ul" J" st> A mail from Heligoland arrived this morning, and brought Hamburgh and Altona papers to the 28th ult. They con- tain the following very important document: DECLARATION or THE COURT OF PRUSSIA OF THK VtF. WS AND INTEN- TIONS OF AUSTRIA TO RESTORE VEACE AND Till: BALANCE OF EUROPE. ( From the Berlin Gazette, July 17.) " Since the alliance of Prussia with Russia, the views of the Imperial Austrian Court were directed to ihe restora- tion of Peace and the balance of Europe, and his Majesty the Emperor declared in public notifications, that he vvas determined on bringing about a peace, the conditions of which would ensure ils duration.— In consequence of these declarations, the Austrian auxiliary curps was recalled from the French array, considerable armaments were made, and a respecta'- le number of troops assembled in Bohemia. These armaments have latterly increased, and by organiz- ing the land militia, they have. been completed. But still anxiously concerned for lire restoration of peace, the Aus- trian Court wished to make an endeavour, with assistance of the Ambassadors uf Ihe. Belligerent Powers that were to assemble at Prague, lo bring about a reconciliation between them.— The French Court has agreed to this proposal, aud 1 heir Majesties llie King of Prussia uud Emperor of Russia havedetermined likewise lo send Ambassadors to Prague, with directions to attend vviih continual and uninterrupted regard lo Ihe interest of their distant Allies, who are invited to be participators, and lo slate to Ihe Austrian Cabinet their sentiments on the possibility of laying ttie foundations for a peace to be hereafter concluded.— His Majesty the Em- peror of Russia has, for this purpose, accredited the Privy Councillor, Baron V011 Austelleu to his Majesty the Em- peror of Austria ; and his Majesty the King of Prussia lias likewise furnished liis Ambassador at the Imperial Court, the Minister of State, Baron Von Humboldt, with powers for tbat purpose.— Both these authorised Ministers have immediately left the heud- quarters of their Sovereigns, and must have arrived at Prague by the 12th uf July, 011 which day the French Ambassadors were likewise lo arrive there. The allied powers, therefore, remain likewise iu this iu slance true lo their purpusc— of losing 110 opportunity of procuring to Europe a just, lasting, and secure peace, for I he restoration of which they will labour with indefatigable pel- severance, and use, for lhat purpose, all the means that Providence has put into their hands In order to gain the necessary time for the negoriation, Ihe Armistice is, by re- quest of the Imperial Ambassador, extended until the loili of August, so that the six days' notice is not to take place till after that day." It appears from the above important document, that Austria recalled her troops fiom 1 lie French army, and augmented her force in Bohemia, on purpose to give her such a commanding attitude as should oblige the belliger- ents lo stale lo her their proposals for putting an end lo the war. The belligerents have acceded to her offer, and pleni- potentiaries have been appointed by Russia, Prussia, aud France; while their more distant allies, Great Britain, Swu den, aud Spain and Portugal, ibe allies of Russia, Prussia, andDenmai k, the ally of France, are invited also to send ple- nipotentiaries to Prague. These plenipotentiaries are tostate to Austria their different bases ofa treaty of peace. By Ihe 12th of July, the Russian, Prussian, and French pleni- potentiaries were to arrive at Prague, and the armistice, at the request ofthe Emperor of Austria, was extended to the loth day of August, the six days' notice lo be dated from that day. Our plenipotentiary, however, would scarcely set off before the loth ; but Lord Cathcart was 011 the spot, and the views of this country were known lo, and in accord ance with lliose of Russia and Prussia, there being a per- fect concert and understanding between the allied powers. The Congress, for the definitive arrangement uf Peace, is to depend upon the result of the mission of ihe plenipoten- tiaries tu Austria. If their respective bases are not utter- ly irreconcileable, then of course the Congress will be held. Austria will of course submit her particular basis, which must demand cessations from France. The scales of War and Peace aie iu her hands; aud, strange change of fotlunc, ( which slit: will not forget she owes io the allies'.) she is placed iu the situation of weighing and deciding upon the pretensions of the man, from whom, not 12 months ago, she received Ihe law. The Prussian declaration is a very measured document— holding out 110confident hopes of peace, but pledging that I lie allies will accede to none bul just, honourable, and immediate consequences, We have at length the particulars of the journey of the Crown Prince to the Castle of Freuchenberg, where his Highness had an interview with the Emperor of 1 Russia, the King of Prussia, aud several noble person- ages from different nations. The Austrian and Russian Ambassadors, Lord Cathcart, Mr. Thornton, and vari- ous others were present. He set off from Grisswalde on the 6th of July, and all the way as he passed he was greeted with loud acclamations hy the people, lie was escorted part of the way by the Cossacks, and stopped occasionally to review Prussian troops, and those of the German Legion. Lisbon Papers were received to- day, which contain some important intelligence from our army.

A gooseberry was gathered in the garden of Edward Jenkins, Esq ofChorlton Hill, ill this county, onThursday last, w hich measured •'. inches and 1111 8th in circumference. Wednesday last, John Jolly, gamekeeper to James Compson, Esq. of Cleobury Mortimer, killed a young wood- cock in Ihe Forest of Wyre, near Bewdley, which weighed about seven ounces. O11 Friday, the 30th ult. as some workmen were carrying away materials for building from a loose ridge of stones on lire top of Coed v gar hill, in the township of'Cynynion and parish of Oswestry, they found an entire human skeleton. Proper measures were laken for the due examination ofthe skeleton, and, from the decayed stale of Ibe bones, it is probable that it may have) been deposited there for a century, or a much longer period. As much interest aud curiosity have been excited 111 the neighbourhood on this subject, il w ill be satisfactory lo state lhat the above is the opinion ofa professional gentleman. tin Tuesday, the 3d inst. a Masonic Meeting vvas held at Bridgnorth, in this county, under a dispensation from the Graud Lodge of England. It consisted of the Master, Officers and Brethren of the Lodge of Industry established there, who, on this occasion, were honoured by a visit front James Osborne, Esq. Depu y Provincial Grand Master of the county of Warwick, and other officers of that Lodge, together with the Right Worshipful Master, Wardens, aud Brethren of the Mercian Lodge uf Ludlow, in their regalia ; also deputations of Brethren from several of the lodges in Birmingham; many foreign military officers of distinction politely joined their brethren in the proceeding harmony.— At 11 o'clock they assembled at Ihe parish church of St. Mary Magdalene, and went in procession from thence to St. Leonard's to attend divine service, where a most impressive aud truly masonic sermon was preached hy the Rev. George Hugh llaslewood, M. A. assisted in the pieviuus duty by the Rev. Charles Blayney Cavendish Whitmore, Rector of Stockton.— The procession vvas con- ducted with the greatest order and propriety, attracting the attention of an elegant assemblage of females, and a vast concourse of spectators. A liberal contribution was col- lected after divine service al the church doors, for the benefit ofthe poor widowsin the Hospital and Alms- houses, and other charitable purposes.— An appropriate dinner was served up in the Town- hall by Mr. Richard Dukes of the Crown inn; aud the day was spent in that cordiality which distinguishes the Masonic characters. At Winchester Assizes, Richard Welch vvas found guilty of assisting (', H. Van Tilboigh, and others, prisoners of war, o.- s parole nt Andover, to escape from liis Majesty' dominions, and sentenced lo seven years transportation. Mr. Justice Dumpier in his charge- to the Grand Jury of the couuty of Stafford, noticed a practice, which lie observ- er! in the depositions before Magistrates, previous to the commitment ofsoute of tho prisoners whose uanusappeaicd in the calendar,— of taking confessions from prisoners upon o. itii; which his lordship said could he of no use whatever, 110 Magistrate having a right lo compel a prisoner making a confession to tell his story under sue. li a sanction What- ever a prisoner says voluntarily, Ihe Magistrate is bound to receive, exactly as the prisoner gives it But confessions taken upon oath cannot he used, even to find a hill upon.— Upon looking over some ofthe depositions, his lordship said he found ihe only evidence tending 10 affect the prisoners, was a confession of oue of Ilieni, taken upon oath— The confession '.[' one prisoner cannot be evidence agaiusl otheis — what a prisoner says may charge himself, bul what he says cannot even put others 11 pun their trial.

Though the news of ihe battle of Viltoria did not reach Trachenberg before the conferences between the Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, and the Crown Prince, had terminated, vve understand it did arrive before those per- sonages separated, and was received with the highest satis- faction. At Berlin it produced the greatest enthusiasm, j fary aud there were, vve hear, illuminations. We received this morning New York Papers from the " h of June to the 10th ol July inclusive. It is impossible to describe the consternation that has been spread along the whole line of Ihe American coast by our squadron and the milit ary oil boaid of it. O11 the 22d of June an attack was made upon Crany Island, uear Norfolk. The enemy, expecting an attack, had made the necessary preparations, and had drawn all their force to that quarter. Observing this, the General, after cannonading the enemy for some time, withdrew his men for tlie purpose of making an attack upon some other point less prepared for resistance. This was a judicious measure. Accordingly 011 the 25th a descent vvas made at Hampton, with betwi e. i 2 or 3000 men. The enemy made an ineffectual resistance, and the town was taken. After remaining sortie time in it and destroying the public stores, & c. our troops retired. The next visit by our troops is expected to be paid to the town of Richmond. In Canada Ihe enemy have sustained another defeat. Colonel Boestler bad marched from Fort George with nearly 600 men, who were attacked hy our troops, and all of them taken. General Dearborn sajs, the British and Indian force- did uot exceed 340 men. He blames Colonel Roesllerj highly, iu a dispatch dated Fort George, June 25. lie adds, that the British fleet had again arrived in his neighbourhood. President Madison has been so ill that liis life was despaired of. Several of the Bills for raising a revenue by internal taxation had passed the House of Representatives, hut not without considerable opposition. Upon a division o; i one of the hills', the numbers were 90 to 70. On the 28th of June a bill was reported for prohibiting all commercial intercourse, dircct or indirect with this country. The United States and Macedonian frigates, and Hornet sloop, were al New London on the I3th of June; they had been taken out of the reach of our ships, and S00 militia were constantly employed iu throwing up the fortifications. The Kamillics and Orpheus were blockading them. The homeward- bound East India fleet passed Ports- mouth this morning. General Mailland left towu this utornicg for Malta.

" j GlocesterSevern. lssociation.— At the Meeting oflt. is Ass, rel- ation, huldeu on Tuesday last, certain resolutions were rntert d into, which, il'nroperly acted upon during the fenve- months, must prove of incalulable advantage on the whole line of the River Severn. A gentleman who vvas present on this occasion, exhibited the following curious and interest ing statement of the benefits likely to accrue frum tlie effectual preservation ofthe salmon- fisheriesin the Severn : He had carefully ascertained the number ofeggs iu the roe ofa salmon weighing 17II1. which amounted to 11,350, Supposing cac. li egg to yield a lisli of lib. the quantity of food thus produced would equal five tuns: the same number at tolb. each, would give fifty Ions: and loo spawncrs of the same weight, would give 110 less tliuu 5000 tons— a quantity of human food equal 10 the produce of 10,000 acres of wv. eat, al 20 bushels per acre, wlicn conven- ed into Hour, at the rate of 5( ilb. per bushel. The fishing establishment of the patriotic Lord Sumer- vilie, is 011 the eve of completion. Milford Haven is to- be the principal station for the vessels. They are to fish on the coast of Devon, South Wales, the South of Ireland, and the Nymph Bank. They are to be provided vvith wells, in which Ihe fish will be brought up alive to Kingroad; they are then to be put on board flat vessels, adapted' fur navigating tlie shoals of Ihe Severn, and dispatched at once to Glocester and Worcester. The delivery for Bristol aud Worcester is already settled : a person ofthe funnel-- place having, under the sanction of Ihe Corporation, contracted to take two tons per week of the prime hau l fish, namely, turbot, solesj and brill, hi sides shell- fish, and an adequate proportion of lower- priced fish. A Committee has been appointed iu Glocestt- r to superintend the cxccufinu ot'lhe scheme, to secure regularity of supply, and take care that the prices charged to ihe public are in conformity with the terms specified by the contracting parties.

By Le Chevalier Delambre, Secretary of the French Institute, and Dr. Kelly, of London. CONTINUED FROM OCR LAST. It was tbe post of Astronomer- Royal, to which he was appointed in 1* 765, which put it in his power to render this important service to the science. The observatory is placed ill Greenwich Park, about six miles from London. It was in this retreat that Di. Maskelyne, for forty- seven years without interruption, observed the heavens, and collected an inestimable treasure, to wlueh, for the- e tbiity • yests past, every one has had tecourse who wished to improve the tables or the theories of astronomy. For it is not sufficient that an astronomer possesses sufficient courage to employ all bis days in calculation, aftei having consecrated his nights to observations ; lie must have at his disposal a situation and a set of instruments such as private individuals cannot command, and which are only to be found in estab- lishments founded by governments. This well- known truth occasioned the building of the Observatories of Paris and Greenwich almost at the same time.— But in these two celebrated establishments an essential article was forgotten. Maskclyne first thought of remedying that defect, and by tbat means be rendered an important service to science, which constitutes the principal difference between the destiny of these two rival observatories. There was a difference in Iheir regulations, which could not but produce very sensible effects. At Paris tbe architect was chiefly consulted, and at a great expense a beautiful monument was constructed, but in- differently suited for observations.— At Gieenwich the building is less sumptuous, but belter adapted for astronomi- cal purposes. There was only a single astronomer, and an assistant. The law which had established the observatory, imposed upon the astronomer the obligation to observe every day the sun and the moon, and every thing which could interest geography and navigation. Flams, eed filieil that office for thirty years. A part of his observations was published during his life- time, and his heirs gave afterwards a more complete and accurate edition. At his death, in 1720, he was succeeded by the celebrated Hallev, who continued upon the same plan, but with betier instruments, till the year 1150; but none of his observations have yet seen the light. In founding the place of astro- nomer, and In imposing upon him the obligations whieh he had to fulfil, it had been forgotten to enact the publication of his obseivations at the end of every year. Such an but Bernoulli having inserted sever, years after, a transla- tion of Di. Maskelyne's memoir, io his Collection for Astronomers, one of Lalatide's tpupils ( d'Agelet) took up the cause of his master in a manner that might have produced a coldness between the parties concerned. The quarrel, however, had no consequences, and the two astronomers corresponded as usual. Some doubts having been raised respecting the difference in latitude and longitude between the observations of Paris and Greenwich, Dr. Maskelyne, to whom the observations were sent, showed, with his usual moderation, that the doubts were improper; but he did not oppose the methods proposed to obviate them. It was upon this occasion that the English who had hitherto done nothing respecting the grand geographical operations in which the Fiench had distinguished themselves, signalized themselves in their turn by methods which surpassed every thing that bad been hitherto done. It was then likewise tbat M. M. Csssini and Legendre made the first, trial of the circle ol Borda. Bouguer, at the end of his measure of a degree in Peru, had endeavoured to determine the attraction of mountains, and the quantity which they drew the plumb- line of the sector from the perpendicular direction. He had found was," he said, " the finest army in Europe." Nelson agreed with him that there could not be finer men : but when the General, at a review, so directed the operations of a mock fight, thai, by an unhappy blun- der, his own troops were surrounded instead of those of the enemy, he turned to his friends and exclaimed, with bitterness, that the fellow did not understand his business. Another circumsiauce, not less characteristic, confirmed Nelson in this judgment. " Gen. Mack," said he, in one of his letters, " cannot move without five carriages 1 I have formed my opinion. I heartily pray I may be mistaken," The famous General JFalstein.— This hero was in- trepid in the field of battle ; but he was an enthusiast, and a bizarre, as the following story shews:— He was at Gross Meseritsch in Moravia, in 1625, and completely absorbed in laying the plan of the ensuing campaign ; his custom was to pass part of the night in consulting tbe stars. One of those nights, being at his window lost in contemplation, he felt himself violently struck on the back. He turned himself round instantly, aud field, at Berkhamstead, at three o'clock in the mora- j Associations for distributing the Bible are still extending ing. They found the gates of the field netted, and 45 j in various parts of tl. e kingdom, and the admirable effect-, snares placed in the hedges for catching hares. They them are now, we believe, fully sanctioned by experience " - - - - " - doino- • these Societies, formed in the Dock- yard at Wool- real and indisputable " attraction ; but one half less than j knowing that he was alone, and his chamber door ought to have resulted from the size of the mountain. Hence he concluded that it was hollow within, and undermined by a volcano. Doubts might be entertained of a result obtained by means of instruments of middling goodness, Bouguer had himself expressed a wish that the experiment were under- taken with better instruments. Dr. Maskelyne undertook this inquiry, with the sector that he had with hitn at St. Helena, after having corrected the suspension, and altered the division. He made choice of Schehallien, a mountain in Scotland. It will be necessary to j consult his memoir, in order to see the care and pains which this operation cost him, which appears so easy. Re found 5 sec. 8. for the derangement of the thread by the attraction of the mountain ; he concluded from it that the density of the mountain ought to be one- half of the mean density ofthe ! earth. It results from this, that the density of the interior of the earth is greater than that of its surface. This had been already proved by the measurement of degrees, and by the pendulum. Finally, he concluded that the density of the earth is four or five times greater than that of water. Cavendish, by experiments of another nature, found after- wards five and a half for the density of the earth. But he himself had some doubts about the extreme precision of his result, and as that of Maskelyne is likewise founded upon suppositions not rigorously exact, we may, till new experi- ments be made, suppose the density of the earth to be five locked, this warrior, bold as he was in battle, was seized with fright. He did not doubt that this blow was a sign from heaven to warn him of impending danger. He fell into a deep melancholy ; nor could any of his friends obtain his secret from him. His confessor, a capuchin, undertook to* discover it, and had art enough impression requires a dcgiee of care which tne astronomer , li[ nes that 0f , valer. finally, Dr. Maskelyne admits it as wotil't- discharge with pleasure ; but it incurs an expense whieh he would be unable to support, because the sale of such a collection, is of necessity very slow and very limited. Bradley succeeded Halley, renewed the instruments, brought Ihe methods to perfection, and uiade himself celebrated by his discoveries, but published nothing. His heirs pretended that his manuscripts belonged to bis family ; and it was not till forty years after iiis death, that astro- nomers were put in possession of that treasure. In France, the same inattention produced similar effects. About ihe year 1140, Lemonnier wished to publish an Histoire Celeste, in imitation of that of Flamsteed. One volume appeared, containing the observations of Picard and very possible that the unequal density, even at the surface, may have occasioned the differences observed in the measurement of different degrees.— Such are the prin- cipal papers published by Dr. Moskelyne, but he left a gieat many others in manuscript, and philosophers will doubtless learn with pleasure that the care of publishing them has been entrusted to Mr. Vince, Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy at Cambridge, known by bis treatise on astronomy, aud by his description of the most modern instiuments. AVe shall find peihaps some new details on a micrometer composed of a prism which moves according to the axis of the telescope, like those of M. Rochon and P. Boscovich. According to this last Lai, ire down to 1685. This collection appearing fifty years phihM0I, lier Maskeiyne first conceived the idea of such I „ * « 1- wwJ Lvct nlmAO't oil l fa vnlii/ i & si IrviKT ae if miirKf . .. .. too late, had lost almost all its value. As long as it might have been useful, il remained entirely unknown. Lemonnier promised a second part, but the small sa'e of the first prevented him from keeping his promise. De obtained, as a particular favour, that bis own observations should be printed iu the Louvre ; but there remained a blank of sixty years, wh. ch has never been filled up. M. C'assini had announced an Histoire Celeste, which was to contain the labours of his three predecessors; but the example of what had happened to Ltmni. uier, perhaps, and the misfortunes of the revolution, which pressed so seveiely upon him, prevented him from executing his project. La Caille could find no other means of publishing his Fondemtns de I' Astronomie, than tint of calculating gratuitously for twenty yeais Ephemerides for a bookseller, who printed in return as many copies of his book as he wanted, to present one to every astronomer of bis time. All the observations which he made afier that peiiod remained unpublished. It is said that the Queen of Great Britain, struck nith the small salary allowed tbe Astronomer Royal for so laborious an employment, had offered to get il increased. Halley opposed the proposal. alleging, that if the place were worth any thing considerable, it would not continue to be given to an astronomer.— The disinterested precaution of Halley claims our admiration; but if, when he refused any thing for himself, he had laid hold of the oppoitunity of demanding a fund for printing the observations, tbe Queen would doubt- less have acceded to the demand, and be would have saved the disputes which, during forty years, prevented the appear, since of his labours. Halley allowctl a favourable opportunity to escape. Maskelyne produced one, He procured bis observations to be annually printed at. the expense of the Royal Society. It was by this means that he deserved to be, as lie was for forty years, the chief, and, as it were, tbe regulator of astronomers. Piazzi alone was able at last to dispute with him the supremacy: but when we reflect upon the difficult circumstances which tbat astronomer has long experienced, ive shall not be surprised that he published but a small part of his numerous obsei vations. Since the establishment of the Board of Longitude in France, the observatories of Paris and of Greenwich ore directed nearly to the same objects; and, furnished with instruments equally good, they produce annually collections of obseivations equally precise, which would serve mutually to" verify one another if there were occasion for that.— Tliey serve as a supplement to each other, when the clouds which cover one observatory do not extend likewise to the other. The communications aie continual, and the obliga- tions reciprocal. II the French tables are founded in a great measure upon the observations of the English, on the other hand, the calculations of the English are founded upon the French tables. But the latest tables have been verified by as many French as English observations. Dr. Maskelyne no more quitted his observatory,— In 1769 ha remained in It to observe the transit of Venus, though onlv one phase was visible at Greenwich ; but he drew up instructions for the astronomers whom Great Britain sent to different countries. He collected their observations, and deduced Irom them the parallax of the sun, and its distance from the earth. His result was the same as that to jvhich Dusejour came by comparing the totality of the observations ol the two transits ot 1761 and 1769. He made many of the most interesting and most difficult observaiions himself, as those of the moon ; but necessarily confided to his assistant those which were more easy and le » s essential, lie followed wilh indexible rigour the methods established by bis celebrated predecessor, Bradley, whom he even surpassed in tbe exactness of his daily observations. He brought to perfection tho method of Flamsteed, of determining at once the right ascensions of stars and of the sun. He gave a catalogue of stars, not numerous, but determined with particular care, which has served almost solely during these thirty years, for the foundation of all astronomical researches.— We may say of tbe four volumes of observations that he has published, that if by any great revolution the sciences were completely lost, and that his collect ion was pieserved, there would be found in it sufficient materials for rebuilding almost the whole edifice of modem astronomy, which cannot be said of any otiier collection ; became to the merit of an exactness which has been seldom attained, anil never surpassed, it adds the advautoge of a long series ol observations. its precision is so great, that it is very improbable that much can be added to it. The obseiva- tions are excellent for the time in which they were made, and this tune is the period in which they approached the nearest to perfection. They will only increase in value as they inc. case in age, which unfortunately is not trne, either with respect to the observations of Tycbo and Helvetias, or to those of Flamsteed and La Hire, which, when made, possessed all the exactness ol which any idea could be formed ; but which, though not far removed from the present age, never can enter into any comparison with tbe observa- tions of the g eat astronomers of tbe 18th century. Dr. Maskelvne corresponded with all the astronomers of the world. To be convinced of it, we have only to run over the memoirs of philosophers ol every nation which be presented to the Koyal Society. He himself did not publish quite so olien as could hove been wished; but it is very difficult for an astronomer, charged with tbe duty of observations to be repeated every day, and almost every moment, to undertake great theoretical researches, which he is under the uecessity of interrupting almost every instant. The writings which he has left aie lemaikable for just ideas and enlightened criticism. Such is a dissertation on the equation ot time, where he ha- pointed out with tbe requisite delicacy, a mistake of La Caille, and another less important mistake of Lalance. If we may be permitted iu our turn to find something leprebensible iu his formula, we will acknow- ledge at least that the trifling negligences to be perceived in it have no sensible effect, and tbat he allowed them to remain because tbey were not dangerous. Lalande received very well the lesson which he thus got; miciometer. Boscovich affirms that be was tbe sccond. It is not without example to find the same contrivance fallen upon by different persons almost at the same time, without any communication with each other. Hitherto M. Rocbon is the only person who has published observations made with this micrometer. The idea of employing in it double refraction belongs to him incontestibly, as Boscovieh himself acknowledges. Dr. Maskelync employed ouly a common glass. It seems certain that he at first thought of moving the prism in the interior of the telescope. It remains for us to know the advantages whieh he should derive from ' this construction. Dr. Maskelyne, who knew the value of excellent instru- ments, as he was continually using them, turned his whole attention to preserve them properly, and to improve them by the additions suggested by his experience and skill in optics. He made ihe eye- piece moveable, in order to avoid all parallax in bringing the eye opposite to each of the five wires, which the star passes in succession. He discovered aUo the inconvenience of narrow shutters, used in all observatories. He enlarged the s'ze of those at Greenwich, after having shewn the necessity of placing the telescopes as much as possible in the open air. Notwithstanding all these cares, it bas been lately suspect- ed that his quadrant had become less exact in consequence of tlie friction which it bad undergone during its continual employment for more than fifty years. It was Very natural that au astronomer, who always paid the same degree of attention to his observations, and who did not perceive in his instrument any mark of old age, should not be the first to detect changes in it, very slight in themselves. Other instru- ments, more modern, and of a different construction, aud placed in tbe hands of attentive astronomers, occasioned the vfirst suspicions. It is true that the small variations which appear to have been observed may be accounted for in sucb a way as to acquit the quadrant at Greenwich of inaccuracy. M. M. Besset and Oltmanns gave explanations of them not deficient in probability ; but the most certain method was to procure new instruments. This was what Dr. Maskeiyne did. He employed the celebrated Troughton to make a grand and superb ciicle, which he had not the pleasure himself of placing in bis observatory; but which has been put into the hands of his successor. Mr. Poud will make us acquainted with the faults wbich rime had produced in the Greenwhh quadrant, aud will Inform us what corrections mubt be made m the latter observations at Greenwich to render thein as valuable as the more early observations in the same place. Thus instruments grow old sooner than men, and it is very seldo- n that an astronomer is satisfied to use those which his predecessor employed. Notwithstanding the doctor's numerous avocations he received visits from many illustrious foreigners, as well as eminent characters of his own country, but his warmest attachments were always manifested to the lovers of astronomy. Among his most intimate friends may be reckoned, Dr. Herschel, Dr, Hutton, Messrs. Wollastons, Mr. Aubert, Bishop Horsley, Sir George Shuckburgh, Baron Maseres, Professor Robinson; and also Professor Viuce, whose publications so ably illustrate Dr. Maskelyue's labours, and whom he appointed the depositary of bis scientific papers. Dr. Maskelyne had good church preferment from his college; and his paternal estates ( of whieh he was the last male heir) were also considerable. He married, when rather advanced in life, a ycung lady, of large fortune, the sister and co- heiress of Lady Booth, of Northamptonshire, by whom he had one daughter, whose education he superintend- ed with Ihe fondest care. These ladies survive him, and also his sister Margaret, who was married to Robert, the late Lord Clive. Dr. Maskelyne died on the 9th of Febraury, 1811, in the 79th year of his age. His health previously declined for to induce one of the pages of the generalissimo to ac- knowledge that he, being intent on playing one of his comrades a trick, had hid himself in the apartment to which Walstein had retired, and mistaking him for his object, he had struck him with all his might; but hav ing found his error, while his master was examining the room, he jumped out of the window. The confessor pledged his word of honour to the page that no evil Should befal him, on this account; and he thought himself happy ia being able to quiet the trepidations of the general. But what was his despair when he heard Walstein order the immediate hanging of this rash youth I his orders were absolute ; the gibbet was ready,— the page delivered lo the executioner in the presence of the general. The principal officers of the army were seized with indignation; the lower classes exclaimed against such barbarity ; the miserable con- fessor threw himself repeatedly at the feet ofthe inex- orable commander. The page had mounted the lad- der, when suddenly the general cried out " stop I" then with a voice of thunder he said to the page, " Well, young man, hast thou now experienced what the ter- rors of death are ? I have served you as you served me: now we aTe quit." St. Swilhin's Day.— Swithin was a Sainl of great celebrity about the ninth century, and Bishop of Win- chester. At his own previous particular solicitation he was buried in the churcb- yard of Winchester, instead of the chancel of the Minster; as was usual with oilier bishops ; but his grave becoming famous for the won- derful miracles wrought by his remains, an order was obtained to remove the holy reliques into the choir, as better suiting their merits, and a solemn procession was appointed to grace the ceremony. A most violent shower of rain, however, fell on the destined day, and continued for 39 others without intermission; incon- sequence of which the idea of a removal was abandon- ed, as displeasing to St. Swithin, tho' it would appear thai the Saint afterwards relented, and permitted his bones to be taken from the cemetry and lodged among the remains of the other bishops, in 1093. The vulgar adage, that we shall have 40 days' continuance of wet weather whenever rain falls on St. Swithin's festival, no doubt arose from monkish superstition ; but without disputing the fact, there is no occasion to have re- course to a miracle to account for such a phenomenon. Experience has amply shewn, that whenever a wet season sets in about the eud of June to the middle of July, when the heat of the sun is usually most intense; it generally continues to nearly the end of the summer, when the action of that orb has considerably abated ; the rain affording matter for exhalation, always natur- ally the strongest at the hottest period of the year, and those exhalations yielding ia return matter for rain. MUHDBR.— The remains of the late unfortunate Edward Clifford, after the Coroner's luquest vvas held, were re- moved to tlie Hare and Hounds, in Bupkeridge- street, St. Giles's. Leaiy, the murderer, was brought them from the House of Correetiou, in CoMbath Fields, in a h3ckney- coach, heavily ironed und hatid- cuffed, attended by eight police officers, in order that he might see the body. On entering the room, the lid was removed for him to look on il, and his motions well watched. He, took the hand of the deceased tn his, and, with a faultering voice, declared his innocence of the crime, and said he did not know the man. The person of the deceased was certainly much changed. He trembled exceedingly; but on his going down stairs, he seemed to resume his wonted coutage, and drank a pint of porter. On Thursday, the further investigation of the murder was proceeded in. lt had been stated that Leary had made a full and open confession of the murder to Mr. Adkins, and that be had informed him where he bad deposited the money of which the deceased had been robbed, aud of other particu- lars ; this statement he now contradicts, and accuses the un- fortunate widow of the deceased with having committed the horrid deed, and that he was only a witness to it. He has made a very long confession, in which be minutely describes a saries of events that occurred during the Sunday ; in the course of which day it appears they had drarik pretty freely, and that in the evening lie went to take Clifford aud his wife on their way to their lodgings ; and then suys: " We came to Gray's- inn- gate, when 1 think the watchman was crying ten o'clock, where I thought they wore going through: and I said, ' it is almost time for me to be going home, and 1 wish you a good night, Mary.'—' No,' says she, ' I am very ill, and for God's sake come along with us a little farther, for if I am taken worse, this man will ue of no use to tne, as he knows nothing.' 1 went along with them, aud she turned down into the brick- fields, in Gray's- inn- lane ; and as we were going through the field, they began to quarrel again ; aud he said he should be gone in the night— that he would not stop by any means. In about five minutes afterwards, she slipped her cloak off ber nead, and took the hammer from her side, and struck him on the head; he tell immedi- ately, aud began to bleed directly; and when down, she struck h. in tw o or three times, and said ' hah I in my si.; ht.* Then I moved a little nearer, and looked at him, and saw the blood flowing from him. I said, now, Mary, 1 am hanged as well as you. She did nst speak to me afterwards. 1 left her with the deceased, and 1 walked away, right across the fields and made my way home as well as I could." After the immediately seized him, and asked what he was doin there. He replied, that he had quarelled wilh his wife that morning, and that he came out for the purpose of hanging himself; bul he was in the middle of the field, not near any tree, and on searching him they found many implements for strangling hares, but nothing well calculated to strangle himself. In his pocket was lound several bag nets and a hay net, all used for snaring game ; but his defence was, that these nets were used by him in his trade as a hitler, for confining pigs and poultry in his cart.— The jury, not crediting his de- fence, found him guilty, and he was fined £ b. Comparative Mortality.— lt appears from the population returns of 1811, that the annual mortality of the counly of Somerset is 1 in every 52; in Devon l in 58 ; in Cornwall I in 62 ; in Dorset I in 57 ; in Hampshire 1 in 49; 111 Wiltshire in 51; in Gloucestershire 1 in 61 ; in Berkshire 1 in 53; in Oxfordshire ] in 55. In Middlesex, it appears that a much greater proportion die than iu any olher county, tbe annual mortality being one in 36 ; whilst ill Cardiganshire the deaths are 1 in 37; which is less than any other county. Taking all England together, 1 in 49 dies annually, aud in Wales I in ( io; that is, it would take 49 years to bury a number equal to the present inhabitants of England: and 6u years those of Wales. Those coun- ties which contain large manufacturing towns exhibit a mortality wholly independent of their climate, as is ex- emplified ill the case of Warwickshire, where the annual deaths are I in 42; whilst the natural salubrity of others, for instauce, Cornwall, is probably rendered more conspicuous some months, and tie contemplated his approaching dissolu- declaration had been taken, several witnesses were examined, tion with pious resignation, and with a lively hope of being ' '""* ' ' "*"'"" admitted into the presence of that Deity, whose works he had so long studied and so ardently admired. His favourite science tended the more strongly to confirm his religious principles, and he died, as he had lived, a sincere christian. Tbe works which he has left, beside, his four volumes in folio of observations, the memoirs of which we have spoken, and the first 45 volumes of I lie Nautical Almanac, calculated under his direction, and revised by him, are, his British Mariners'Guide; the Tables necessary for Ihe usage of the Nautical Almanac; Dissertations on Nautical Astronomy and the use of the Octant: and finally, his posthumous woiks, of the contents of which we are ignorant, but which astronomers will be very anxious to procuie. Thus we have described the philosopher; but the man, the father, the friend, was not less valuable.— Every astronomer, every philosopher, found in him a brother. This is the testimony which M. Chabert gave of him 011 his return from London, m which he had taken lefuge during a season of storms, and where tie received the m. 11,1 friendly reception fiom ihe Astronomer Royal, accompanied wilh attentions the most delicate anil the tliost generous. Of a character friendly and amiable, t. e gamed the affections of all those who bud the g . od fortune to know him, and Ins death was honoured with their regret. D.- stined at first to the ecclesi- astical profession, he preserved always the virtues and Ihe senlimentsof that piofessiou. hy their exempt ion from sedentary employments. Book- keeping by double entry.— Mr. Nimmo iu his History of Stirlingshire, in Scotland, informs ns, that when writ- ing was a rare accomplishment, the old Treasurer of the town of Stirling kepi bis accounts in Ihe following singular | method. He hung up two boots, one 011 each side of the chimney ; and in one of thein he put all the money he received, and in the other all receipts or vouchers for the money he paid. At the end of ihe year, or whenever lie wanted to make up his accounts, lie emptied his boots, and by counting their several and respective contents he was enabled Ur make a balance, perhaps with as much re- gularity and as little trouble as any book- keeper in the kingdom. Method of taking out grease spots from woollen cloth .-— Take magnesia in the lump, wet it, and rub the grease spots well: in a little lime brush it off, and 110 stain or appearance of grease will be left. Post- horse Duty — Oil Saturday se'nnight au innkeeper near Barnsley, was fined before a Magistrate, in three miti- gated penalties, and all expenses, for defrauding his Majes- ty's Government ofthe post- horse duty, by not accounting for the duty when the horses did not go thro' a toll- bar. Caution to publicans— A publican, of Sutton- upott- Trent, was lately detected mixing tobacco with the hops he used in brewing, and fined in the mitigated penalty of £ 50. Advice lo Bathers.— As many people are subject to cramps when they go to bathe or swim, which often endanger, and sometimes prove fatal to them, it is recommended to all who go into the water, to tie ligatures moderately tight round their legs, a litlle below the knee, as a " certain means to prevent the cramp. GRAIN.— It appears by the returns to the House ofCotn- mons, that a million of money has been expended for tbe im- portation of corn less this season, than in any former year. GOOSEBERRIES.— In our last we mentioned a gooseberry of an extraordinary size, al Yarmouth; but a correspond- ent assures us that there are many trees in Leicester, loaded wilh fruit of a much larger size. The following he states to be the dimensions of one unripe yellow gooseberry in the garden of a Mr. Gird, viz. in length two inches and a half, in circumference four and a half ditto, and its weight, when ripe, is expected to be at least 34 dwls. The Glasgow Journal says, that, according to the present prices, including the duties to Government, the following is the value of the colonial produce imported into the Clyde, by the late fleets, viz. sugar, £ 1,119,- 23— rum, -£ 553,393— cotton, .£ 170,174— coffee, £ 152,600— all other produce £ 207,015— Total, £ 2,202,411. A clergyman in Manchester has staled the following fact: examining the registers of the collegiate church for the last six years, viz. from Jan. 1,18O7, to the 31st December, 1812, he found from the signatures, that so many as 9756 persons had been married within that period, who were not able to write their own names. The Vicar and Churchwardens of All Saints, Stamford, having leased off a property of the alleged value of £ 50 a year ( part of a charitable donation for the education, & c of poor children of that town) to a person at £ 10 per annum, the Court of Chancery has ordered the lease to be cancelled nnd a proper occupation rent to be set upuu Ihe premises. By a sUrvey lately made by order of the Navy Board, of Marr Lodge Forest, tbe property of the Earl of Fife, in Aberdeenshire, it appears that there is an extent of twenty square miles of timber, fit to use as topmasts for ships of the line, and for masts and bowsprits for cullers and schoon- ers. There are thousands of trees fit for building ships of great magnitude ; and it is estimated that there is in Marr Lodge Forest, a supply of masts for the whole navy of Great Britain for 611 years to come, allowing the expendi- ture to be 1000 spars per annum. Alexander Hai lis ( well known in Bristol and its neigh- bourhood as the Shirehainpton and Pill letter- carrier) com- pleated the laborious task of walking 20 miles a day ( Sundays excepted) for the space ofthe last 20 years, 011 the 31st ult. He was appointed letter- carrier 1st August, 1793. The number of miles he has walked during that peiiod amounts to 124,000 II Friday se'nnight, a child of Mr. Richard Knight, of Creech St Michael, near Taunton, about 19 months old, having walked to a neighbour's house, unperceived, was at length missing, and was found in a well, which was 18 feet deep from the top to the surface of tbe water, but fortu- nately a board, part of the cover of tbe well, bad fallen iu previously, and the infant was found lying on its back 011 Ihe board, swimming on the water. It was immediately got up, w ithout the slightest injury. It will be satisfactory to those who have friends among the British prisoners of war in France, to lenrn, that the situation of the prisoners has been ameliorated of late. They are allowed Ihe liberty to chuse their place of resi- dence in any part of the department of Ihe Meuae, on con- dition of presenting themselves 0: 1 certain days. By the Local Token Act, lately passed the Legislature, the circulation of tokens is allowed to be continued until six weeks afler Ihe next meeting of Parliament. Saturday se'nnight a dreadful accident happened at Col- liugwood Main Colliery, near North Shields : by an explo- sion of fire- damp, eight of the men were killed, and two severely burnt. Among the sufferers were Mr. Hope, one of the viewers, Mr. Wild, an overman, and two young men of the name of Richardson, who, haviug no parents, main- tained their grandmother ( now in her ] 02d year), in a man- ner that did tliein great credit. A number of horses were also suffocated. A painter lately employed to paint the dial plate of the clock belonging to a parish church West of London, made an improvement in the hour, by dividing it into five quarters.

Mr. Wilmot, oi Woolwich rope- yard, informs the Committee, " that there appears a general reform in the moral character of the rope- makers there employed," and now, instead of intoxication and profane swearing being very common, he says, " il is very unusual lo see a single individual the least disguised in liquor while on duly, nor does he even now hear them make use of the profane aud blasphemous expressions for- merly so commonly indulged in that yard." Mr. Delahoyde, of Sion Vnle, Middlesex, who professes to be possessed of a secret for the cure of insane persons, is said to have lately restored one ofthe most ungovernable patients in Sir Jonathan Miles's mad- housc al Hoxtau, who had been three years in chains.

Mr. Turton politely in- formed Mr. Bourke, Ihat this KOrrid transaction was yet involved in great mystery, and begged him for the present to withhold his assistance, and that he, Mi. Turton, would under- take to see the widow and children taken proper care of, though, for certain reasons, he believed be must be undei the necessity of placing Mrs. Clifford under the eye of those ou whom he could depend.— Mrs, Clifford was then called in, and Mr. Turton, in the most humane and delicate manner possible, hinted toiler, his wish that she would consent to place herself under the care of Mr. Adkins, theGovernor of Coldbalh. fields prison, until this singular affair was farther proceeded in, and that Mr. Adkins, who was present, would promise her every attention; that ber children and hieuds snoutd have free access to her, and that Aft. Webb, Tin" surgeon of ihe prison, who was also prestinP, had offeied to sttend ber during her lying- in, which could not be many days distant. ' To this Mrs. Clifford consented with some reluctance, stating, that a lady in Bedford square had procured her a lodging in Fitzroy- market. Mr. rl'ui ton observed, that he hoped the time would soon arrive, when both she and her children would receive the assistance of such kind- heatted and chaiitable Christians as the lady in question ; but for the present he hoped she would comply with his request. Mrs. Clifford then went a- way in a coach with the Governor of Cold- baih- fields prison. A man of the name of Haswell, a higler, was tried at Anecdote— General Mack was at the head of tho Neapolitan troops: all that is now doubtful concerning th is man is, whether he was a coward or a traitor ; at that time he was assiduously extolled as a consummate commander, to whom Europe might look for deliver, ance; and when he was introduced by the King aud Queen to the British Admiral, the Queen said to him, " Be to us by laud, General, what my hero Nelson has ! Hertford assizes, for using au engine" to' destroy the been by sea." Mack, on his part, did not fail lo praise ; game, at Berkhamstead, in that county, lt appeared the force which he was appointed to command ' It that two gamekeepers found him iu the middle of a Ireland very shortly, aiid which, capable of carrying 72 persons. Last week a hay- stack, worth upwards of £ 70, belonging to Mr. Eartishaw, of Doncaster, was nearly consumed by fire, occasioned by some hay- makers smoakmg lobacco, and throwing Ihe ashes among the hay. The new waggon- road ( an inclined plane, upon a princi- ple very different from the other Waggou Roads in the Earl of Lonsdale's collieries) was opened oil Wednesday se'iinight, at Whitehaven ; and the experiment answers in every particular, by sending downloaded and drawing up empty waggons at ihe same time. Bayonne, to which tlie public attention is so much direct- ed al present, is a town ou the west coast of France, lt is the seat of a tribunal, in tbe district of Ustaritz and depart- ment of the Lower Pyrennees, situate at the conflux of the rivers Adonr and Nive, about a league from the sea, with a good harbour but difficult to enter, ll is strongly fortified, the work of the celebrated Vauban. ' The town is large, and of considerable importance. Before the Revolution, it was theSee of a Bishop, Suffragan of Auck. I11 1784 it was de- clared a free port, five posts and a half from Yron, on the frontiers of Spain, and 105 S. S. VV. of Paris. An auction of unmarried ladies used to take place an nually in Babylon. " In every district ( says the historian) they assembled 011 a certain day iu every year, all the virgins of Marriageable age." The most beautiful was first put up, and the man w ho bid the largest sum of money gained possession of her. ' The sccond in personal appear- ance followed, and the biddeis gratified themselves with handsome wives according to the depth of their puises. But alas I it seems that there were iu Babylon some ladies for whom 110 money was likely to be offered, yet these also were disposed of, so provident were the Babylonians."— " When all the beautiful virgins ( says the historian) were sold, the crier ordered the most deformed to stand up, and afler be had openly demanded who would marry her with a sum, she was at length adjudged lo the man that would be sntisfied with the least; and ill this manner the money arising from the sale of the handsome, serving for a portion ta those who were either of disagreeable look or had any other imperfection." This custom prevailed about 500 years before Christ; it is doubtful whether a similar sort of process is net carried on at this day, among our- selves. Dr. Smilh- s Ploughman'' s Drops. COPY OF A LETTER FROM HEREFORD. DEAR Sir— To you I consider myself in Gratitude bound to make an Acknowledgment of the Benefit I have re- ceived by taking the Ploughman's Drops, prepared by you. In consequence of an unfortunate connection, in 11 few days i found myself violently attacked wilh a Venereal Disease. I made immediate Application to a Medical Gentleman of the first Respectability, who gave me Pills, & e. to take and make use of, which to my unspeakable jov bad ( as I thought) effected a Cure; but alas I I soon fonnd uiysclf deceived, thedisease still layinmy Body, and was the cause of mv enduring restless Nights and unhappy Days, till I most providentially heard of your invaluable Drops. Iu the Spring my Eyes became quite Dun and Weak, and it was the Opinion of myself and Friends, that I should soot, lose the Sight of both. I fell down appaiently Dead, and continued in that State near an Hour ; I was attended by n Physician and three other Medical Men ; I took their Medi- cines six Months, and doubt not but in that Time I took at least a Wheelbarrow lull. Instead of getting betier I got worse and worse; niv Feet and Legs swelled in a dreadful Manner, anil I looked to Death ooly for Relief. I went to Liverpool with about jf45 in my Pocket, iu hopes of staying about a Fortnight with a Doctor, and having his Advice, when to my Surprise, the good Man had the Modesty to ask me Seventy Guineas a Week, exclusive of Medicines,— Finding it impossible for me to comply with his exoibitaut Demand, 1 returned to Shrewsbury, attended by all the. shocking Ideas of Self- destruction. There Providence cast 1I1 my Way the Shrewsbury Paper, in which was inserted the Case of , cured by taking the Ploughman's Drops. I immediately went to Mr. Wood, Printer, and bought a large Bottle ; in less than three Days 1 gave away my List Shoes, I felt my Nerves braced, mv whole Frame invigorated, slept soundly, and ( I thank God) vvas soon convinced of the as- tonishing Virtues of your inestimable Medicine, the Plough- man's Diops, By taking one large and two small Bottles, ! was perfectly cured, and atu now ( thank God) as hearty at- ever i was in my Life. My family. Connexions prevent rev signing my Name in full, but this you are at Liberty to publish in whatever Way you think proper, and 1 am ready and willing personally to satisfy any one who may think proper to ask me.
