The mass of the population, as far as an inconsistent, selfish, and vain pepole can, seem to reconcile themselves lo Ihe existing order of things; and if they permit themselves an angry ebullition, it is vented iu harmless menace against their late adversa- ries. Even England is frequently honoured with their ) notice in this way. But the views and feelings of the [ Government, when such important changes are carrying ! on in the neighbouring States, and which may have a material influence upon the foreign relations of France, are concealed with great art. It appears from Ihe Dutch Papers, lhat the Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Hereditary Prince of Orange, was continuing, at ihe date of the last advices, his inspection of the Flemish fortresses. At Namur he. was received with the most marked enthusiasm by the inhabitants, who took Ihe horses from the carriage, and drew it into the place. Namur is lo be converted, into a place of arms of the first rank ; and the other fortresses along the French frontier are lo receive a great addition lo tlieir works. The stay of the Duke in lhat country is attributed to political as well as military causes. The army is very numerous, consisting of 30 Hanoverian battalions, besides British, Dutch, and Befgic troops. Another Belgic corps, equal in strength to that already raised, is to be immediately organised ; and our troops are to be reinforced lo SO, 000 men.— It is said the whole force is to be carried to 80,000 men— the number stipulated in the Convention con- cluded between Great Britain, Austria, Russia, and Prussia. This imposing armament will add a pre- ponderating weight lo the measures resolved upon for the union of Brabaut and Holland; aud tbe liberal proceedings of the Prince Sovereign would conquer any repugnance, if such existed, on the part of the Flemings. What a fund of proud and interesting reflections does this subject present to the English observer. He sees peaceably accomplished what our most high- minded Statesmen, for more than a century, would have made every sacrifice, and run almost every risk to attain! lis advantages, in a commercial, as well as political view, are almost inestimable. It gives 11s unrestricted intercourse with Ihe markets of Brabant, and, by means of Ihc great rivers which flow through lhat country, it secures an inlet into all the adjacent Stales, France in this case will have no alternative but to consent to a Commercial Treaty, or lo see, without the power of preventing it, the illicit introduction of British manufactures. King Ferdinand has abolished the torture in Spain, and prohibited all Judges from employing- it to extort confessions from criminals, or evidence from witnesses. This is the first rational act of his Government 011 record.— The French papers slate that Spain is in Ihe most violent state of fermentation; but experience teaches us to receive their intelligence with a consider- able doubt of its authenticity. The following is an extract of a letter from St. Petersburgh, dated July 27:— " The day before yesterday, at six in the morning, we had the happiness to witness, the arrival of our beloved Sove- reign, Ihe Emperor Alexander, from the most memorable campaign in Russian history. He immediately repaired lo the Church of Cassan, and was received by the people with the greatest possible enthusiasm, although he had declined all the honours of a ceremonious reception.-- The Grand Duke Constanlinc has also returned hither Yesterday the Emperor went in solemn procession to Ihe Cathedral Church of Cassan, where Te Deum was cliaunted This procession was unique : Ibe whole population of the Capital was iu motion: nil wished to behold ihc Saviour of the. Country, and to kiss his hands aud feet. I11 tbe evening Ihe whole City was illuminated— this will he repeated three several iiighls. All Ihc Members of the Council of Ihe Empire, of the Senate, and Ibe Synod, had 10- day Ihe honour of dining with his Majesty. The Nobles and Merchants of St Petersburgh have just presented lo Ihe Grand Dnke Constantine a service of gold plate, wilh an inscription suitable to his merits " The King of Prussia's Birth- day was celebrated with great joy at Berlin 011 the 3d of August.

The btonlfeur contains a report by Barou Louis, Minister of Finance, to the Chamber of Deputies, on the iron Irade of France. He slates, tbat the lale war had prevented tile import of iron from Ihe North ; and in consequence the French forges had considerably increased; but still that the price of iron remained so high in France, that foreign iron, even afler paving the duty, could be in- troduced fro pi England and the North, and sold from 35 to 50 per cent, cheaper than the French, lie ascribes this to the want of hands caused by the conscription, and the high price iff wood by the destruction of thp forests But the effect was, that the sale of French iron was at a stand, .000,000 workmen were in danger of being thrown out of bread. He therefore proposes a duly ( in'imported iron in tls various stages, viz.- on bar iron, 15 francs per TOO kiliograms; on steel, 40 francs per ditto; and iron wire, .60 francs per ditto. The plan of the law was ordered to he taken into consideration. There is a report it) the French - papers of Petion having hoisted the white flag in St. Domingo, and de- clared his entire submission to Louis XVIII. The troops of Christophe are said to be deserting in great numbers. According to the Paris papers, the Duchy of Modena and the island of Corfu are in- dread of domestic dis- turbances. These statements are to be received with caution— the Freiicb Journalists' write too much in Ihe old style; their objqct is evidently" to induce a belief, that these conplries tviihed _ to coutyuie under the French yoke. A strange report has been receivwHVmii Rome— th « Duchies. of Parma, Viode'na, . ami Guastalla, are to be placed under Ihe Government of Bonaparte, who is iti future- to reside " on* Ibe Continent I Another rumour, mrire likely to be- true, Ts, lhat the King of Naples is arming, bis whole force in order lo punish the Barbary Powers.

A letter from Edinburgh, dated Aug. 22, received this morning, s ivs—" We are happy to be able to an- nounce the following very acceptable intelligence 1— ' The detachments ordered to embark for Ireland,' for the purpose of proceeding with the expedition la The Princess of Wales.— A letter, dated Hamburgh, Aug. 16, lias the following paragraph:—" This morn- ing her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales arrived here with her suite, under the name of the Countess of Wolfenbuttel.

Letters from Liverpool state, lliat the ships antV their cargoes from Amelia Island, which had been seized by Ihe Custom- house Officers, at Livcrpoo'; have been set at liberty, and surrendered up to the consignees. We are informed, that the sequestration lias been raised, not hastily, hut advisedly, after obtaining the opinions of the principal Law Officers connected with Ihe Treasury, Ihe Commissioners of Customs in London, and the Proctor of the Admirallj, . The cotton market has, in some degree, fallen in conse- quence of this intelligence ; and T is extremely i uport- ant, as it affects not only the shipping immediately con- cerned, but nearly twenty vessels which arc expected from the same depot of American produce, with the future relative situation of that depot. The accounts from India, by Uie fleet just arrived, | state, that every article of European manufacture ami produce was selling considerably under prime cost. Tito i price of Indigo, ( now almost the only article of import from India,) is so reduced by Ihe large quantity brought ; by this fleet, that the commanders and officers, who I have neither freight or commission to pay, consider theinse! ves fortunate if they can wind up their ad- 1 ventures without a heavy loss.

At least British soldiers, during the short interval of repose, have not tinleai ued the use of I he bayonet— an instrument peculiarly rulculattd to check the vapouring of our war- bitten neigh- bours. The French papers are obliged to retract a'l the differences between I he allied early . insinuations respecting Monarch*. aud Ihe procrastination of Ihe Congress at Vjenua.

The Duke of Wellington • "> - - - i 1, ll,. 1.. I le Montreal Papers arrived jesterday, but they contain litlle novelty. No new operation seems to have laken place on the Canadian line, since the defeat ofour troops at Chippawa. The American Geueiul, Brown, on entering Canada, addressed a Proclamation lo the inhabitants, in which lie promises protection ol their properly, and invites them to join Ihe American standard. With respect to the Negoeiations at Ghent, we have this day ihe following remarks :—" When the fact is known that the proceedings al every conference have. been regularly transmitted from one American part>. at Ghent to another in London, fur the purpose of speculation, perhaps the public vill SHV, lhat it would have been quite as well if the confer- ences bad never taken place. Ever since ihe commencement of ill. negociiuions at Ghent, articles of American produce have been constantly fluctuating iu price, according to the information received from high authorities iu lhat quarter ; hul llns morning, immcdialily on delivery of Ihe letters from France, the markets for cottons and tobaccos took a considerable start— ti c foi titer altogether - id. per lb. and the latter in the same proportion, It was well known, lhat the parlies in correspondence with Ibe Ghent Junta were the primipal purchasers ; and afler having pretiv well stripped the London markets, some of ihem set off'post- haste lo Manchester and Liverpool, to complete their speculations. The next anival from Ghent, piobahly will bring an account to Government of the rnplu- e of the negocialious, at least for the present. That Ihe intelligence has not reached ' Ministers soouer, is owing to Ihe extraordinary means hav- ing been used by ihe American speculators al Ghent, togive i their fii'- uds in wailing al Loudon the first information " The force which sailed from Bourdeaux is said to have reached Bermuda, and which is estimated at 16,000 men. ' 1 hese are Ihe proper negociators to treat with Ihe Ameijcansl The ships which conveyed Our troops, will also bring a great accession uf force to our naval armaments in those seas The nuptials of the Duke of Cumberland and the Prinrrssof Salms are, il is said, to be celebrated al Berlin The lady has arrived in that cily.

While the period fixed for Ihe meeting of the Congress at Vienna approaches, the great Continental powers seem inclined to maintain con- siderable foi^ es iu a warlike attitude. It is staled in a letter from Rastadt, thai several German corps have passed the Rhine, and that General Kleist has repaired to Coblentz, to direct their movements. It is conjectured that these troops are destined to lake possession of the country between the. Moselle nnd Meuse. But the chief object nf attention at present is that part of Ihe Netherlands, the junction of w hich to Holland is contemplated. This junction is un- derstood to he viewed with great jealousy by France; but the inspection of the foilresses by the Dnke of Wellington indicates that no lime will he lost in strengthening the frontier. Spaiu appeals to be still in a very unsettled slate The delay in Ihe publication of the Treaty of Peace w ith France, and the threatened return of Charles IV. are cir- cumstances which create considerable alarm in the suppor- ters of the present Government The public finances arc- in a wretched state, and the revenues of individuals not much better; there is very little money in circulation ; lire armaments at Cadiz for tiie reduction of the colonies are counteruiaiided, and the trade left at llie mercy of the Barbary corsairs Another mail from Holland arrived yesterday. The Duke of Wellington, Lord Casllereagh, sild the Duke of Cambridge were, according to the last accounts, at Brus. sels. The Duke of Cambridge is to regulate the arrival of a large Hanoverian army, which is to be stationed iu the Netherlands. The ceremony of investing Ihe Prince of Orange wilh thc Garter, and the Hereditary Priirce with Ilie Order of the Bath, took place last Tuesday at Brussels. Lord Castlereagh, in presenting Ibe insignia to Ihe latter, addressed bis Highness in a very appropriate speech, in which bespoke with adiniru ion of his conduct in Spain, and added a confident assurance that the same talents would he displayed in his Highuess's own country, should its safety be attacked, or the repose of Europe he endangered.— After four conferences, between the British and Americau Com- missioners, some obstacles are said to have arisen, which have occasioned the sending off a courier to London.

CESSATION OF nos'TII. lTIES IN NORWAY— RESIGNA- TION Of PRINCE CHRISTIAN. The war between the Swedes and Norwegians has been but of stipit duration"; and every one, who did udt wish to see the North a sceiie'of useless bloodshed, or who earnestly desired the welfare oftlie Norwegians— a brave, vinviliated, and hospitable'people,, were anxious lhat tlie dispute should be terniinalell. A Gofteubnrgh Mail bas arrived, by which we have ' received anoiher Bulletin of Ihe Ciorvn Prince, announcing I his intelligence"^— A convention was signed al Moss on tlie nth iust. Which stipulates t hat Prince Christian should resign his a'uthurily, and thai Ihe Slates- General should. be convoked according lb t lie for 111 a prescribed by the present constitution. The Die. are to meet on the last day of September, or, hi farthest, within the first rightdays of the ensuing month. The King of Sweden is lu cominunicnlc wilb this body directly by one or more Commissioners. Theother articles stipulate for the fulfilment ofthe promises held out by Ihe Swedish Govern- ment for forgiveness of the past, and certain provisions in favour of Norwegian Functionaries.— The Diet is to as- semble at Christiana.— On the same day and at the same place a convention was signed between the two armies, in virtue of which, hostilities wereto cease immediately and not to be resumed till . teen days afler the opening of tbe Diet, with eight days notice beyond that time.— The block- ade ofthe Norwegian ports was to be raised, aud freedom of exportation and importation granted. It is further simu- lated, that the Norwegian troops are to he disbanded, and to return to I heir respective provinces, with the exception of four regimeuis, who are to be maintained ; and that only two dvisionsof Swedes, with a prober proportion of cavairy and artillery, are lo remain in Norway.— No decisive battle had taken - place. On Wednesday morning, a fire broke. out in the building of Mr. Bcddoes, of the Culinary Farm, near Bishop's Castle, Ihe whole nf which, we are sorry lo say, were consumed, together with a great quantity of wheal in Ihe baru; fortunately a stoue wall'prevented it from cum. miiniciiting to the stalk- yard.. The ' dwelling house l. eing situated at a distance from the uuildings, Ihe ( ire liud raged some lime before Mr Beddoes and his family were aware of the disaster, which was occasioned by it quantity of time being placed too near ihe buildings The conduct of many ' of the inhabitants of Bishop's Cnslte Is highly praiseworthy; . Ihey were aware of Ihe fire before Mr. B. and his family had any intimation ofil, aud with the utmost promptitude set otf ioassist'in extinguishing it. Yenterdav. being se Iti ing day in the Consols, Mr. Fearn, the ci- dttanl broker of Lord Cochrane and Co. was declared a defaulter.-- The defaulter on Ihe Stock Exchange, w ho has left his Broker lo make good his deficiencies, lo the amount of A' 45, ooo, is R. Thornton,, Esq M. P. for Colches- ter. He has, it is said, taken large sums from private individuals also ; among which, 110 less than .£ 10,000 from one person. Not bci ig in business, he cannot be made a bankrupt; neither is Ihere, it is understood, any ostensible propenv that can be attached in any way for the deficien- cies. He was declared a defaulter on the Slock Exchange on Friday last, through lhe great fall Omnium; and was recently seen at Calais. GREAT BARGAINS.— Several establishments, it has Veen observed, announce great bargains, but it now appears iuroulestihlc, that 110 greater bargain can be had for a small Emu, ' than a Ticket in the Lottery which draws on the Ist of September, as Tickets are at present cheaper than for years past, al the same lime, that Capital Prizes are as large and as numerous, aud the lowest Prise exceeds the Cost of a Ticket. ' I'he old lady in Tkreadneedle- tlreel, is said to be filling her pockets with gold for Ihe future satisfaction of her admirers, who delight iu lhat curiosity ! Mrs. Jordan sailed yesterday from Margate for Ostend, on her way for Brussels, from thencc she will take a lour Jionve tjn- ungh Lisle and Paris. The number of British emigrants for exportation to the Continent is so great, that several of our minor ports are 111 rivulsliip for their Conveyance. Gravesend, Colches. ter, anj Margate, contend for Ostend ; Dover has the monopoly of those for Calais; Brighton claims Dieppe; and Snutha, ui# on promises an easy trip lo Havre de Grace. The number of- persons of the first rank and fashion, lhat aie gone tojill the pockets of foreigners is astonishing— yel most of the accounts from France speak of the more than unfriendly ( we hud almost said brutal) conduct of the inha- bitants towards our countrymen, in all cases where Iheir avarice is not concerned; thc Dutch are also said to he in the habit of displaying a disposition far from amicable towards Englishmen. In a short lime, perhaps, we may bave- an injiortatinn, consisting of petit maitres, conks, valet de cnarnbres, kc. who, afler emptying Ihe pockets of some of our wealthy country men, will return to their orun land, lo spend the plunder, and to laugh ut the folly of Monsieur Jean Bu'l.' The fair in Hyde Pailc, although censured pretty strongly, lias evidently not diminished the curiosity which • ccumpanies sut h nuisances. Those in 1 he neighbourhood of Londou since have been followed by as much dissipation as ever; and, in a few days, Bartliofomew- fair will fill up the measure of this Summer's idleness. G. Lane, who wis on Tuesday charged on suspicion Of stealing a dead body, was again Drought up to Guildhall yesterday for examination; when a letter was delivered from Mr VV. Brookes, ot the Anatomical Theatre, Blcn- } i « im- st feet, staling, lhat the prisoner w as one of those men called Resurrection men, and was, employed by all the Anatomists in London to procure subjects for dissection. Mr Brookes expressed a hope that the prisoner might he discharged, as he was, 111 fact, a necessary individual in the promotion of surgery ! As there was 110 proof that the prisoner had laken ihe body from a church- yard, lie could slot lie detained Thc Parish Officers expressed a hope, lhat they might he paid their expcnces, amounting to 30s. in preparing a coffin for Ihe body. The prisoner, however, said, if I he hudv w as given back to him, he would bury il free ofcosts This, however, was not complied with; and the body will be buried al thc expence of the parish. Lale 011 Monday night a large trunk was cut from • behind the carriage ofT. Morsoin, Esq. ot Hailey- street, as il « as procci ding to town from Ellhum, containing property to the amount of £ 850. Mitchell the Murderer, fyc.— This man is confined with ljnllitigs, the exciseman, who shot a servant a few weeks since, iu lhat part of Newgate denominated Ibe Smugglers'. Mitchell seems indifferent to his situation, mid free from that compunction of conscience whi( h would liaunt an ordinary mind He preserves a sort of sullenncss, and iverses but litlle; but he cats and drinks heartily, and enters into the association of other prisoners On Friday he was observed to lake his pipe in full enjoyment, whilst someof Ihe other prisoners were playing at ball— lu addition to these two men charged with murder, another oflhe uame of De SilVn, a Portuguese, was rommiited to Newgate on Friday nighl He was iudentified in the Fast Indies by a person of 1 lie name of Davis, on board an India- ns in, as a person who was concerned with others in stabbing hi* ( Davis's) brother, a waterman, betwixt two and three vi- ar* since, and for which one mail was cxeculed.

The report oflhe return of Charles IV. to Spain is contradicted ; it is now said he intends going to Majorca, where he will reside. The Elector of Hesse has disbanded a part of Ihe troops which, by the lale treaty wilh tbe Allies, he was 10 keep upon Ihe war establishment. This measure appears to have given dissatisfaction to the Allies. The state of the French finances is reported to be so very low at present, that, according to the latest accounts from thence, Ihe Coronation of the French King ( Louis XVIII ) is put off' till another year, when the splendour aud tlie consequent expenses can be heller sustained; or perhaps, till Ihe kind visitations of the English travellers have supplied them w ith the means uf defraying it. An express arrived yes erday to Ministers from thc British Commissioners al Ghent, announcing, it is under- stood, the rupture of the negocialiun wilb tbe American Plenipotentiaries.— It is said, lhat tbe insuperable obstacle is, Ihe demand by Great Britain of a portion of territory extending throughout the whole southern margin of Lakes Erie and Ontario, as the new hnundary for the Canadas, and comprehending the maritime station of Sackett's harbour, and all Ihe foils of the Niagaia. The surrender of this territory would be Ihe grant of a portion ofthe integral soil oflhe United States, which, therefore, cannot be conceded without the express permission of Congress, Ihe Executive Government having 110 authority to Ihal extent. In consequence of the allegation of the breaking off oflhe negociations at Ghent, the Stocks felt a very material dep( ession, and Omnium was at one time as low as 3 per cent, discount. The apprehension is, that the market will be burdened with new loans oil the meeting nf Parliament. The state of the present loan is as follows:— to the amount of two millions only has been paid up; 22 milliuns remain on which the first payments have only been made, und of this, 16 millions, belonging to 740 proprietors, are pawned in the bank. The market this evening closed as follows: — Red Ann. 6sJ; Consols 65 j; do. for account 65J ; Omnium 2f dis. An order lias been issued from Lord B thurst's office, prohibiting all American subjects from proceeding loihat country by the British packets, without obtaining regular permission from fhe British Government It seems lhat great numbers of Americans, who ought 10 have been con- sidered prisoners of war, have shipped themselves for Hali- fax, Bermuda, and Ihe West Indies, and thence to North America, proceeding, in many cases, through Ihe British naval and military armaments. Lord Lynedock ( Sir Thomas Graham) has arrived from Ostend in Ihe British Queen packet. His Lordship landed at Margate. Large importations of Hew wheat are daily expected in the Itiver from Bayoune and other pans of the French coast. The Irish Government have issued oiders lo disem body all Yeoman Cavalry corps, from Ihc 24th iusl — All Yeoman Infantry corps are also til be' disembodied, unless each corps consists of 70 effective privates ; but 111 case two or three com panics wish to consolidate lo lhat number, one permanent Serjeant aud oue drummer w ill Ire allowed p:. v,. as also the pi ivates thai attend parade days, which, in future, are to be twelve in the year; sucb coi ps as unite, must be enrolled and complete before the 24th of next mouth. Although Government have published nothing 011 the subject of the rupture of Ihe N( gociatious at Ghent, up to this hour: Ihe confidence in the statements laid before the public of their being terminated dot's not appear to be at all diminished. Some letters froni New York of the 13th July have been received at Paris, slating, thai Mr Madison meant to call an extraordinary Session of Ihe Congress, for Ihe pur- pose of laying before it llie demands urged fry this country. Lord Castlereagh proceeds to Vienna by the way of Paris. His lordship will be al Vienna about the 15th of next tnoulln The Congress will be opened 011 the Isl of October, but the interval between the 15th of September, aud the day of the opening will be spent inactive negoci- ations between tlie different negociators. The previous statement of the Duke of Wellington's arrival at Paris is correct. His Grace was formally intro- duced as Ambassador Extraordinary from his Britannic Majesty tu Louis XVIH. on the 24th instant, and, with his suite, met with a most gracious reception. Our advices from Hamburgh reach down to the 24th inst. The most prominent article contained in Ihem is t!> e fact of Russian, Austrian, and Prussian troops being or- dered away to the coast of . Tuscany, lo embark for Ihe Isle of Elba. The motive assigned is, thai ever since Bonaparte has been exiled to Elba, he has been constantly intriguing with neighbouring Stales, with the view lo disturb tbe re. pose of the world— It is uow added, as a positive fact, that the ci- devant Emperor has numerous agents employed in the recruiting service, and many of bis old soldiers in Italy bave engaged lo. enlist under his banners. From the late proceedings, however, of the different Powers ( England in- cluded), his movements are well known, and he is closely louked after. Tbe doctrine laid down at intervals in some uf the German Papers—" tbat oue individual had better suffer death, than millions should run the risk of perishing," is supposed tu have had a reference to Ihe intrigues ul Elba. Her Koyal Highness the Princess of Wales arrived at Brunswick on Ihe 18th inst.— She was greeted on her entrance into the city with every token of the most un- bounded respect and joy by all ranks. Letters from Liverpool received to- day mention the arrival there of several speculators in cotton and tobaceoes, from London, ( he first of the party accomplished his jour- uey iu less than til hours. I11 the course of Saturday, Ihe markets for American produce rose considerably. The shipment of stores from Woolwich were sus- pended on Saturday, by an order from Government — It was believed they were intended for America, but it is now thought their real destination was Norway.

QUESTIONS, which naturally occur to Persons in all Ranks of Life, and ANSWERS, which as naturally present themselves to those Questions. Question— Do I wish to better my condition by increas- ing my properly ? Answer.— Certainly, by all honourable means. Question.— ls there any way in trade by which I can surl denly gain a large sum ? ^ n. rlixr.— Only by speculating, which is often attended with great loss, and sometimes ruin. Ouestion.— Through what honest means, then, have I a chance of becoming Suddenly rich ? pinner.— Only by Ipuixlissiug a Ticket or Share in the Lottery. Qie. stinn.— But is not that like gambling ? Anxtcer — No; gambling is a desire of gaining hy an- other's loss; purchasing ill the Lottery is only offering a prudent tribute to Fortune. Question.— Shall 1 be hurt If my Number should not comc H p a Prize ? Answer.-- No person ought to adventure more Ihan he can well spare, and which, if lost, would not he missed; bill if lucky, would make him comparatively rich, and, as far as money will effect it, happy. Question.— But is there any thing immoral or Improper in so doing 1 Answer — No ; thc purchasing a chance in the Lottery is neither contrary to industry or morality : it does not create idleness, for il consumes 110 lime ; il lakes 110 man from Itis business; neither does it raise tbe baneful feelings of eiivy or jealousy, for 110 one knows his competitor!— it is only holding out your hand for those riches which must fall tu somebody, and are as likely lo lie your lot as your neigh- bour's. • Stale Lottery begins NEXT TIIORSDAY> ( The ist September.)

A few days since was plucked from a tree in the garden of Mr. Dcnuey, nursery- man, near Cheltenham, u gooseberry, of the astonishing size of inches iu circum- ferrruce, and a proportionate length. The Treasurers of Glocester Infirmary have received the sum of £ 31) 0, for the benefit of lhat institution, from Lord Apsley, and the Officers aud Privates of thc Cirences- ter Yeomanry Cavalry. Lord Combermere was delayed 011 his way to the grand dinner at Chester, 011 the 151I1 instant, by an unfor- tunate accident, which happened at Hollywell. His Lord- sliip being recognised before he entered ihe town, a large concourse of people received him amidst the loudest acclamations, took the horses from the carriage, and drew him through the town. Some small guns were fired in huuourof Ihc noble visitor, and by some unlucky accident, a poor man's baud was shot off, aud Ibe arm obliged to be amputated above the wrist His Lordship made particular inquiries aboul the poor man and his family, and with that liberality and kind hearledness, which is innate in his breast, and which was so conspicuous in his highly respect- ed father, his Lordship tcoAifurted the unfortunate sufferer in his distress, by an assurance ihal he would provide for bill! for the remainder of his life.

The tarious Bathing- places in the Principality of Wales have been very attractive this season; Ilafod has also had its share of visitors. Considerable improvements have been made at Devil's Bridge; and thc bridge ilself presents qnile a new object. Mr. . lohnes has also laid Ihe foundation of a new aud spacious Hotel, to be completed next Spring— the present House being found inadequate lo the accommodation of the numerous visitors ul this most interesting spot.

A most melancholy catastrophe occurred on Wednes- day last, in a colliery in the neighbourhood of Swansea : while the people were busily engaged in their work, a sud- den explosion of fire damp took place, which instantane- ously deprived tour poor men of life, and injured some others, but the latter are all doing Well, ln'quesis have been held on the unfortunate sufferers, and verdicts of " accidental death" returned. At Carmarthen Great Sessions, on Wednesday, the only prisoner, we believe, for trial, viz. John Williams, indicted under Lord Ellenbtirough's Act, fur cutting ami maiming Evans, iu a battle betweeu the parties at Carmarthen, in May last, was ACQUITTED. Chester Assizes commenced ou Monday last, before Sir William Garrow, Kilt, mid Francis Burton, Esq — Ou Thursday, the calendar contained tbe names of tweiilv- seveu prisoners— several of Ihem fur crimes of u most heinous nature.

A11 order also has been issued by Ihe Government of Ireland lo suspend any further disembody- ing the militia of I hat country Mermaids.— Two more of these creatures have lately been seen bv Thomas Johnston and William Gordon, fishermen, residing at Port Gordon, a small village iu Scot- land, who have attested the circumstance before Mr. George M'Kcnzie, schoolmaster ufthat village. GihW accordinpto the late Act of Parliament, that ell licenses to Stipendiary curates be placed in the pariah register chest iu the church, wheie they tuay be open to the inspection uf the churchwardens and 01 hers ; and unless the stilci license* hear dale on or annul thr 5th of Jan. I8!{, the incumbent is liable to an action; and the specific penalties would be readily recovered for any iuleival from lhat time to Ihe dale oflhe license. Of all ihe prisoners at Norman Cross, only one man remains: and he, inconsequence of illness picveuiing his removal. The change produced try withdrawing ilie de- mand fur Ihe necessaries to supply 10,000 mouths, is sensibly felt in all the cuuiiiry round the ( lepftt. The expenditure has been £ 300,000 annually, aud this advantage lo the liadu uf Stilton, Petviborough, & c is now cut off. ExtYUordinany Fecundity.— Lately, as a man was mowing clover, iu Cowley- roHirtion. Field, near Oxford, he cut dul a brood of voting hares, 7eft in number j Iwo of thein we're killed by a stroke of ihe scythe, & Ihe remaining eight, afler having been shown lo several spoiling gentle- men in the neighbourhood, were turned up in the fields. Such an instance we never remember to have heard of, lis the hare seldom brings forth in. iielbaii three or four ut time. This brood appeared lo have been stunjed iu their growth, from the inability of the mother to provide for sw numerous an offspring. Anecdote.— Oil Ihe intended erection of a Methodist Chapel al S r, a village in Yorkshire, upou leased premises, for a long period, it was proposed by 1111 attorney to make it for nine hundred and ninety nine yeurs A11 old woman present hoped lliey would extend the lease further, if possible; for if they should be under the necessity of pulling the chapel down al the expiration of the lease, il would completely slop theroadto ber house. To obviate the incon- venience which this provident matron apprehended, the parlies were kind enough lo extend the term to nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine years!

From repeated ill usage, it appears lhat llie ntif'itnnate creature quitted the house of her nnuaiuial father und found refuge at a neighbouring farm- house, from whenrc he forced her away, beating her most pari of the road— which violence he continued till il caused her death. Alarmed, : he father ran two miles for medical aid, which ford her any assistance, and he was immediately secured.— Coroner's verdict, manslaughter. By the marriage ofthe Duke of Cumberland with Ihe Dowager Duchess of Salm there is likely to he issue, aud if they should have a son he wil! succeed lo the Electo- rate of Hanover, if the Prince Regent and I lie Dukes ot York and Clarence should not leave heirs male Tire Princes* Charlotte, aud no son of her's, could succeed by the law s of Germany, lu this way Hanover has Ihe prospect of being separaled from the Crown of England. The Duchess of Sal 111 is niece 10 her Majesty, aud sister to I lie lale Queen of Prussia. There was at one time a matrimonial alliance on the lapis between her Serene Highness and tlie Duke of Cambridge. Academical Anecdote.— It is well known that the Duke of Wellington and Bonaparte, were, in their youth, fellow students ill the military academy of Brienne, near Paris. A circumstance of their studies is reported, which seemed ominous of their future furlunes. li is said to rest on the authority of some nf tlie Mornington family — There- was a sort of periodic classical lotleiy iu the school, on which occasion, each student took whatever poitiuiiof au ancient author chance afforded him, lo translate or para- phrase. The works of ihe aucieut fabulist / Esop happened to furnish one day the series of blanks aud prizes 111 Ihe literary week, ll fell to the lot of Napoleon, lo draw the fable of tbe dog and llie shadow : how he acquitted himself then is nut knuwn, hut lie published a memorable para- phrase lately in the Calends of April! The portion destined to young Wellesley was not less remarkable. His apologue was said lo be the story of the old man who demonstrated to his sous the advantage ot unity, by giving each of them first a bundle of rods to break by u single effort, and then shewing them how easy it was lo demolish lliem in a state of separation. If the Pope and the King of Naples should quarrel, what a fine opportunity Bonaparte would have for offering his services to ihe former ( who has so often evinced a par- tiality for the family), and leading an army against his revolted hroiher- in- l iw. There is to be sure one lull. In these small campaigns a man cannot well set otheis on to fight, without coining in for a share of thc danger He must show himself in front.

All this eluboiation would be very well, if we did nol know, lhat us far as any cookery differs from roasting, boiling, broiling, and li ving, il must do so by theexccss of mincing, thumbing, plaistering, and pawing ofa pair of hninau hands Now, when this is not done, a. it probably would be in England, by Ike hands ofa henllhy, cleanly, aud, iu general, comely woman, bill hy those ofa snuffy, abominable, Ac- cook, living in a tenement, where, it'' is known, from circumstance*, cleanliness is iiiipu& siblc, I hose only can take delight in such varieiies, w ho aro hardened against every possibility uf disgust from filth.— This hardihood, it may he said, is enviable : he it su !

In Testimony of the Value of this Method of raising Mushrooms, Mr. Oldacre begs Leave to refer to Mr Ayres, Gardener to the Right Hon. Lord Scarsdale, at Kedleston, his Brolher, Gardener to E. M.

His gallant comrades sung it in the heat of battle: it expressed tbeir feelings, Iheir piely, their loyally, their patriotism. The brave and' youthful author was destined to the honour of falling for liis King and Country. He had taken Iwo prisoners, to • whom be had given quarter, but, unfortunately, neglected to disarm tbem ; brave nnd generous himself, it never oc- curred lo him lhat a Frenchman could be treacherous. One of them tired, and shot him through the back ; he. fell, and returned. his gallant spirit to Hini who . inspired it. His friends and fellow- warriors revenged, his death, and laid tbe hero under his country's oak.] Hark, haik ! what's the sound that so trembling Rolls sweetly, yet awful in air ? Il speaks—' twill be heard—" Be assembling ! To save your lov'd country repair!" Mark, hark ! Ihe loud trumpets resounding! Up, up lo tbe fight! see your foes !

Bonaparte.— The following Acrostic on Napoleon was composed by a Professor at Dijon, as soon as the entrance of the Allies inlo that town had enabled its loyal inhabitants lo declare in favour of their legitimate Sovereign, N ihil fuit, A nguslus evenit, 1' opnlos rcduxit, O rhem disturbavit, 1. ihertatem oppressit, F. cclesiam distraxit, ' O mnia esse voluit, N ihil eril. It was impossible to give a more concise and more; faithful history of Bonaparte'i, whole career. Let 11s trust, that the last line is as prophetic as the preceding ones are true. Many of our readers may be Unac- quainted with the Latin lahguage ; we, therefore, gi- W tlie following free translation of the Acrostic.

Among the most curious State Papers of the present, clay, is a lull1 lately sent lo the Emperor of Elba, for a breakfast of eggs and coffee, which she said Emperor devoured at a small village, near Hainan, on his tour from Leipsie, hut which, in his hurry, liis Imperial Alqjesly had forgotten lo setlle. WANDERINGS IN FRANCE. ( no. 1.) Dieppe, August 8, 1814 From Brighton we embarked on boaid the Hero, Captain Halde. li, and after a passage of 10 hours, attended by the usual | disagreeuliles of a short sea voyage, we landed at this place. On approaching the land, a stranger is struck with the appearance of high cliffs, and a bold shore, with deep water close to its edge; and on entering the harbour of Dieppe, the piers, built of massive stone, and of great height, excite his astonishment. It does not appear possible that a town, evidently so poor and destitute of commerce, could have undertaken, or nt least completed, works of such mag- nitude ; and indeed, Hie probability is, that they were effect- ed by the Government. The town itself is abuul the size of Pover, to which it bears a striking resemblance; the houses, however, are rather dirt'- rent iu their architecture, and more antiquated in their n^ » , trance; nor bas it those heights behind it, which shelter and embellish the English port.— Here ivory is manufactured into a variety of toys and figures in a very finished manner, and some lace is also fabiicaled iu the place. About four miles up the valley in which this town stands, is the village of Arc, which has au old castle, beneath which is a subterranean passage of unknown extent; hot the village is chiefly famous as the birth place of Joan of Arc, who, after saving Orleans, was made a sacrifice to a spirit of policy or. revenge. O. u leaving Dieppe, which we did in a cabriolet, we at once found ourselves in an uninclosed country, covered with < iorn and flax ; the former all growing; the latter either out, or undergoing that operation. An im. mense quantity of laud is under . tillage ; but tbe slight crops in some cases, and tbe quantity of weeds in others, bespeak an imperfect and a slovenly mode of husbandry : fallowing forms no part of the agricultural system here ; hence the foul state of the land, which, however, must be of au excellent staple, and of uncommon fertility, as whenever any degree of care and culture is visible, the crops are abundant. The hills and table land make an appearance tim. lar to the open parts of Cambridgeshire; while the vallies and woody slopes, remind au Englishman of the romantic beauties of Ihe North of Devon. Tiie first village through which ne passed ivas St Aubin ; the second TOSTES.—. Heie we remained for an hour, and had some opportunity of examining the state of the peasantry, and the condition and opinion of tbe fanners. The peasants 011 the road, in the fields, and in Ihe villages, are much superior to those of England ; they are better dressed, cleaner, and have a more cheerful and even healthy appearance; the cottages and gardens, in botii countries, are much Ihe same, except that Ihe latter are not inclosed. The farmers seem to enjoy competence rather than affluence, and are unanimously in favour of peace. It is not e3sy to ascertain the prices of anv commodities not actually exposed for sale ; but ns nearly as we could learn, the price of a good cow is from seven to eight pounds; of a fat ox from eight to ten pounds ; and of the quarter of wheat 37s. Cyder abounds thioughout Nor- mandy, and is of course proportionally cheap: besides im- mense numbers of orchards and apple trees in the open corn fields, two rows of trees, planted 011 the sides of the road, ex- tend, with very few intermissions, the whole distance fiom Dieppe to Rouen; this is an arrangement which we have had occasion to admire in some parts of Holland, and indeed it is one deserving universal adoption:— the wisdom of augmenting the quantity of human gratifications in every country, can- not be disputed*— this appears to he a very simple but certain mode itf effecting so desirable an object. At the top of a% iH, whence we began to descend towards Rotten, a part of our baggage fell from the cabriolet, which gave us an opportunity of Balking through the beautiful iilTage of Malaunay.—. Through the bottom of the rich and romantic valley, in which this- village is. situated,, a small stream reus which turns several cotton mills, the first of which is situated by the sjde of the road ; it is in elegant structure, hut both the building and its operations are far less extensive than those of various districts in England ond Scotland, although Rouen and its environs produce more manufactured Cottons lhan all France besides. Trom this village, the road became more and more interesting; thc valley full of rich meadows, on which. thS System of irri- gation is practised, and over which it ' diffuses its luxuriant verdure ; Ihe road edged with the dwellings of the industrious and of the wealthy ; the bills covered with trees- and brush; wood to tllieir very summits; and Ihe distance extending beyond Rouen and Ihe Seine, terminated by the hills and forests of the west of Normandy, combine to- prodnce a land- scape as rich and varied as any that can be realised in nature, and perhaps as picturesque as those imaginary scenes which exist only 111 the- fancy of- the enthusiastic. At the llarriere; d'Oc'tiioi. the Gate of Duties, we break off. NORWAY* ... T ,' .. , Among the Stale Papers lately published respecting the Negociatiqns with Norway, is a letter addressed to Mr. Morier; in answer to his Declaration as the British Envoy, , Front the subjoined extracts it will be seen that Krtgland was Ihe chief hope of llie Norwegians — a people struggling for Liberty, naturally look for support to < t race ot freemen and the Government of a free nation— the appeal was well, tlio' not opportunely directed— the cup of liberty lir. s been dashed froth their lips, and thc bitter draught of slavery substituted, by ••*• » • but we refrain,— Whatever may be the policy of uniting Norway M ith Sweden, every Englishman must feel for a brave people; thus forced into an unioif, which they certainly detest. " The Notwegiau nation has alivavs regarded England as its besl friend atid natural ally. In tfi « treaty between Sweden and England, respecting the annexation of Ninttav, the English Government exhibited a regard for the liberty aud happiness of the Norwegians, which was sincerely estimated, and served to encourage a hope, that England would never lose sight of what this liberty antl happiness consisted of, especially as her Ministers had expressly declared, that they had not guaranteed Norway to Sweden ; tnat is to say, they hail not guaranteed the lo- s of that country's fteedoin and happiness, It was consequently to be hoped, and llie Nor- wegian people ditl hope, that Great Britain would have proved A~ friend and protector, who, in securing to the Norwegians the possession of this benefit, would first examine into what it consisted of; and if it could be accomplished by their being subjected to a State, whose Government has ill- treated the Norwegians, by even in a time of peace, establishing a most oppressive and disgraceful system of staiving a whole nation, and which has served to increase that national hatred which, as is well known, exists between both neighbours. ****** " The proceedings ofthe Diet, anil the universal sentiment of the people, will prove to you that a subjection to Sweden, such as is contemplated in tbe treaty ot Kiel, was totally incompatible with the happiness and libeity of the Norwegi- ans ; and everv Englishman, every one that feels warmly in favour of freedom antl national worth, will not be surprised that a notion, who never acknowledged itself to tie a pro- vince of Denmark, but as a separate and freely united king- dom, should refuse to allow itself to be given azeay as mooe- AN ACCOUNT OF THE PASSUMMAJIS; A people qf India, who have lately caused much alarm by their. frequent irruptions into the East India Company's pepper districts called Manna, and there committing the most daring outrages. TJIEY are for the most part runaway slaves, or men of desperale character called lleesows. Their villages are not peaceful hamlets f but are places of considerable strength. They are frequently built upon the edges of inaccessible precipices: lliey are surrounded by banks of mud, Overgrowh with grass, brushwood, anil a sort of impenetrable prickly bamboo, the banks being 18 or 20 feet high, and 111 or 12 thick. The approach to them ( a path broad enough to admit of scarcely more than one person at a time), is generally through a close jungle or forest; tlie branches of the trees interweaving and overhanging. When an enemy is supposed to be advancing, tliey will rentier this path impassable by slicking il lull of ranjows, which are slips of the strongest kind of bamboo, made excessively sharp at each end, and hardened by a certain process. The wound indicted by these is scarcely ever closed; and fltey will pierce through a thick- soled shoe. If the difficulties of the approach be overcome, and the cm- bankments scaled, stiil the assailants are not freed from the dangers- of this hidden weapon, for the square, or compound, is thickly strewed with it; while thc enemy have fled by a back passage, and have probably set fire to their houses " before their departure. They have secret hiding- places, so completely concealed among the mountains, and thickly - covt red with brushwood and forest trees, that it is impossible to discover Ihem. If a prisoner or two should chance to be taken, they would suffer death sooner than betray Ihe hiding- places of their party ? and this for a very good reason— Ihey know that their own lives, and probably those of ail their family, would be taken, sooner or later, by those whom Ihey betrayed, or by iheir relations. To sit down wilb a view of starving out the concealed enemy would be unavailing, indeed impossible. If such an intention were evinced, they, being perfectly acquainted with the intricacies of the country wlm-. li tliey inhabit, would find means of escaping. IJefore tliey are invest- ed, the women, boys, and children, are seirt off with every thing tliey can carry ; and Ihe men, when they liy, take gway what may have been left. When au attacking party quits a place taken and burnt, and is supposed to lie at a sufficient distance, the Passummahs will immediately return and resettle, erecting small huts in three or four days, for which thc necessary malerials are always close at hand in llie woods. If, after a time, tliey find there is litlle chance of their being again attacked, they speedily construct other more substantial buildings, repair the damage which their banks may have sustained, clear llie ground, and sow fresh crops of paddy. Till this ripens, lliey will feed 011 roots, leaves, and vegetables, Tliey have fire- arms of differ- ent kinds, and among them many European- made muskets: tliey have also large swivels. They never risk an open attack in the field; but, when their pre- sence is least expected, they fire from the midst of a thicket, aud escape before there is a possibility of getting al them. Their aggressions have recently become so frequent and oppressive, that it was determined to use endea- vours to drive them out of the country, so as to pre- clude any chance of their resettling. They have been vigorously attacked, their strong places have been taken, and their houses destroyed j but it has been found utterly impossible lo drive them out, for, 011 this occasion, they have not, in any one instance, opposed the least resistance lo the force sent against them ; their villages have been found deserted, and all attempts at discovering their secret recesses have ended in disappointment. It lias, therefore, become necessary to defend the planters in the adjoining districts, and to give up for the preseut all idea of offensive operations m the enemy's country. SOUTH AMERICA. Notwithstanding the present perturbed slate of South Aftrer'rca, a general idea prevails in Ihe commercial, world, of a speedy and most extensive intercourse with the Eastern Provinces ofthat immense territory ; and this idea is strengthened by the judgment of many individuals of acknowledged experience and abilities. This opinion appears to be founded on bases not altogether speculative the principal of which is the long- continued want of, atul admitted partiality for, those peculiar classes of British manufactured goods, that have always been in request in those extensive colonies, but of which a variety of circumstances contingent upon the European war have for some time precluded thc supply.— Various accounts, by the late Leeward and Windward Island Mails, coincide in representing thai strenuous solicitations have been made by the Provincial Governors of South America, and of Terra Firma in particular, to our principal colonial agents, to encourage the shipping of saleable goods from the mother country, with the assurance lhat the petty warfare of the different partisans would afford uo! obstruction to a regular ami honourable intercourse; and also, that there was abundance of silver-, even in the seats of war, to supply the difference*, between the value of lite imports and the produce iaken in exchange, the chief of which latter is intimated to be the finest cocoa and hides, of which there is a great quantity HI store. Hitherto, or al ( east since the peace of 1801, the supplies of British manufactured goods in the Caraccas had beeu chiefly obtained by a contraband trade between Jamaica and Trinidad, and Cumaua, Barcelona, La Guyra and Marguerites and the goods being almost entirely sold for ready money, the risk lay with the purchasers, as well as Ihe difficulty of introducing them into the . interior. During our warthe iluiled Stales, the A merlcans successfully superseded us, by the introduction of their own inferior manufactures, owing to the facilities of their numerous vessels, w hich coasted without danger till the vigorous and extensive blockade of their ports put a stop to their intercourse; since which the want of, and preference for, British articles is said to have effected a general clearance of our depots, fend this necessarily occasioned an increased demand. It is upwards of 14 years since the English broad cloth has become so general m the Caraccas and its dependencies its to be considered an article railier of necessity than of luxury, and lliere is no Spaniard, in competent circumstances, who will not constantly dress in kcrseyTnere pantaloons, and HesSian hoofs, exelu.-. sively of British manufacture, if he can procure, them. They have also generally resigned thc use of cottons in favour of our linens, and the only article of French Hianufaclure lo which they are partial is lace. The produce of our own country, which is iu second rate demand, consists of stuffs, serges, and taffeties, for the dresses of the priests and nuns of every religious order, and also our cutlery, particularly swords with orna- mented blades and handles, without which a Spaniard never considers himself equipped fit to appear in company. able property, or any olher transferable thing ; the Spanish Nation woultl not submit to this degradation, and was sup- ported hy England in her glorious opposition to the efforts of tyranny. ****** " The King has sworn to govern the kingdom of Norway agreeably to the Constitution: and the Diet, al the same time, presented him with an address, all of w hich is commu- nicated lo yon, and wherein the nation utters tbe wish that peace might be maintained and mutually beneficial connec- tions be formed, with Sweden; and expresses its confidence, that the powerful states who lately with so much exertion and success have fought for the restoration of peace autl tranquil- lity to Europe, would not consent to lite subjugation of a people, who bave given offence to none, and who only demand what the rights of nations ought to secure- to thein—. liberty and peace: at the same time adding its determination, in case these hopes should be disappointed, to prefer the sacrifice Of their deaiest interests, and even death itself, to slavery. " His Majesty, at the request of the Diet, has transmitted this declaration to the different courts, and of course to that of Great Britain ; and he cannot doubt but it will be taken into due consideration by a Government which represents a people capable qf estimating the value of liberty ; and who; if placed in the samelituation, would most assuredly he prepmedto make the same sacrifices as the Norwegians. His Majesty- is also persuaded that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Great Britain, who so well knows what is- due from a consti- tutional Regent to bi « people, will not admit that' he could ever be capable, of his own authority, of sacrificing the rights ofthat people, who, with n firm caivfidHice in his integrity, delivered to him the Crown. It is only thepeople themselves lhat, through their representatives, can undertake to. altei tbe Const' tution, or allow of the Union of Norway with any other. " F- veiy Norwegian and . very Englishman, as well as every one who feels pronerly for hnman wori. h arid happiritSs, must regret that at this period, when the Powers of Europe have conquered- a Continental peace,' and restored national liberty, that at fhis very lime t- he same Peweis'sfiotifd unite in acting ; in opposition to principles that hitherto havf been their guide, by suliduing, at the suggestion of Sweden,. a free and respectable peoplo— But, as yet, the sivord is only half- drawn, and the voice of humanity uttered by tMjtb,., which', may still be heard by Great Britain, and the other Poivers, will, it is to be hoped, cause them io- reflect on the undeserved conduct they are about to adopt towards the peoifite « f Norway," L -,.-..'

It fell at about half- past five o'clock, in the morning, and 110 person was hurt, though con- siderable damage was done lo an adjacent house. Some fragments continued falling till about twelve o'clock, and little now remains of that venerable pile. The monastery and steeple of Kilwinning were built" in 1140: the former was destroyed at the Reformation ; hut thc latter was allowed lo remain, and a few years ago it was repaired, at a considerable expence, hy the Earl of Eglinlqn.

Mermaid.— Extract of a letter^ dated Ardsheal, Argyllshire, 7th August inst. ( lourl- sen miles from Fort William)':— " Our curiosity has been greatly excited by the appeara'rice ofa Mermaid on this coast. 1 dare say von will tjive an inctedtiloiis* smile, but really. we have bad such distinct accounts of it from different, people,, that we can bar-- no doubt of the fact, though we are all very anxious, yon may be sure, to have. ocular demonstration The last time she" ivas seen is nea- ly a fortnight ago; since lliat the weather lias been very stormy: When it sctttes we may have a chance of seeing, or al least, have more accounts of this strange animal, which I hope bas not left our shores. It is some time since she was first, seen, very eatlv one morning by a lad lying on the shot** at Artlsheal. He was at a considerable distance," and thought it was some person biding himself in lite sea weed, wiih an intention, of fiigbte- n- ing him, hut On coming uearer he saw that though the upper part wns like a hitman bring, the lower part was. like an itn- meiisefish. He was ao frightened that. be ran off: and, when he mentioned what be lord seen, people only laughed at him, and Alioupht n" more, about it. Near a month afterwards some children were gathering black- berries, onthetop " f a rock immediately above tbe sea, about a mile further dbwu than Atdsheal; tbe'y th ought that they saw a woman drown- ing, and trying to get oh the toi- k ; some of tlj^ nugn home to- tell, ami tbe test, staid to see it'hat would j> ect^ i) e: of the woman,, as tliey thought; but on looking more attentively, tliey discovered tliAt it was not a human, being; they gave a very distinct account of what they saw. The upper part was exactly like a woman,- ttie- skin appeared very white, anrl a tidodi. ileal of colour in the cheeks, and very long darkish looking httir^ Ahe arms- were tv- r- ll propottTimeit above, but tapeied. ve- rvmuch towards- the hands, winch were no larger than a chiltlV of eight or ten vpars old, the tail was like on immense huge eli idv fi- U* or PRRTH, in colour and shape. By tbe time the people of the farm otiilio^ it was ft bout a gun- shJft from Iheshote, sitting quite upright on. the water. One of the men proposer! to shorn her, but the rest opposed this, so he did not do it ; he whistled, inn which she turned round, but ditl not goawav ; she remained m- sight above two hour,, at times making ainssing noise like a goose. When she dis- appeared she laid herself very gently down 011 the water, and swam away, the head- only appearing above tbe water. She was seen a little distance from shore twice after this, alway s earlv in the moioWg, and wMcn the sea. was calm. * Mr. Souther", in a note 10 the first . vol, of his Histary of Brazil, ' expresses Ins belief in the cxuicnte of the Mermaid." the College of Medicine of Stockholm lias discovered that the leaves of the polatoe root dried in a particular manner, give a tobacco far superior, iu point .' of fra- grance, to ordinary tobacco. The King has, in con- seqnence'j ordered all the public authorities to favour', by every means in their power, the cultivation of this root., The Dauish Gazettes warmly recommend the use of the substitute instead of foreign tobacco, which was becoming every day more general in the kingdom. A dispute, involving a question of some importance, prevails among the inhabitants of Cornwall. The Sheriff had been requested to call a meeting of " the Noblemen, Gentlemen, Clergy, and Freeholders, of " the county," to consider of an address to the Prince Regent, oil the Peace with France. The objection to this is, that the terms of Ihe requisition should have been extended to the Inhabitant Householders of the County. The Sheriff was, therefore, called upon to convene a meeting which should embrace the request, signed by 7T9 respectable inhabitants. This was re- fused. The consequpnce was, that these persons, acting mi the opinion of Mr. Serjeant Lens, have resolved, j lhat where a Couuty Meeting is held for a legal pur- pose, the sanction ofthe Sheriff is not necessary thereto, 1 aiid they announced a meeting accordingly. Destruction of Gaihc.— The following authenticated instances of thc destruction of game by Vermin, claim the attention of Sportsmen, & c.:— 41 About a fortnight ago, a gentleman in the neighbourhood of Felton shot a sto& l ( generally mistaken for a weasel, which is only about seven iuy- hes in length, while . the stoat, accord- ing to Bewirk, measures ten inches. in length); but the animal escaping into a bole in an old stone wall, he was induced to explore the plaee cf its retreat, when tiie first victims he met with were a couple of wellt- grown leverets, unmutilated ; a little farther on were two young, partridges, also untouched, and a pheasant's egg unbroken ; beyond these were found the heads of Iwo other leverets, and at the extremity of the hole lay the littl/ marauder himself— dead We should have thought this extraordinary. accumulation of plunder might have beeu the consequence of u provident disposition in the litlle animal, but, on looking into Bewick, we find a remark which will better account for the circum- stance. He snys", in speaking of the Weasel, that. it seldom devours anv of ils prey till it begins to putrify ;" a lcmark, which at tbe same time serves to piove, lhat, as applied to game, this tierce litlle. depredator ( for the stoat ond weasel hardly differ otherwise than in their size) must have quite a fashionable taste. In what manner il had conveyed the phea- sant's egg 10 its haunt wihout breaking it, we are at a loss to conceive "— Newcastle Paper. Early on Saturday morning, the 13th inst. James Halliwell, gamekeeper to Thomas Drinkwater, Esq. of lrwell House, discovered five weasels in pursuit of a hare, and in full cry. He fired on thein, and killed the whole at one shot.— Manchester Herald. Shooting Match.— A match took place at Three- mile- house ' on Monday, Ihe 8th inst. between 8 marksmen from Paisley, and an equal number of the Glasgow Caledonian'marksmen.— The parties met upon, the appointed ground at twelve o'clock at noon, where, in regular rotation, they fired 18 rounds of ball each at a target S feet iu diameter, placed at the distance of 150 yards: and, as it had been previously stipulated, that the nearest half of the whole shots On each side vvas to determine tlte match, that of the Paisley marksmen amounted to 291| inches, and that of the Caledonian marksmen to 285| inches; so that Ihe Caledonians • gainei) l> y inches. The average of' the former party- being four inches, and that of the latter 3£ inches from the centre of . the bull's eye. Tbe pin placed in the centre of the bull's eye, from which tiie shots are measured, was twice shot out by the Caledonian marks- men at this match. The Stapleton Depot for Prisoners will, it is said, be converted into hor? e barracks. A wretched Cyprian, literally a martyr to disease, was discovered lately in a field at Saliford, near Bath, apparently expiring. Her appearance was scarcely human, Mr. VV. Clement, of Salt'ford, with a degree of humanity which does credit to his feelings, had lie. r removed to a barn, and administered to her every aid in his power; but, after lingering a few days, she ^ expired. From the language of her prayers, she is supposed to have formerly moved in a decent sphere of . life.— A similar circumstance occurred a short time teoiat a house in Holloway, Bath. V. Sunday iifighlj a man of the narneofSehvv, was taken t£, Newgate, from Shad well Office, charged with the wilful murder of Mr. Williamson and family, in Old Gravel- lane, two or three years ago. Draper, the impostor, has been aprehended at Ax- hridge, and committed to Ilchester gaol, having again began lo exercise the art of healing by the touch.— We trust there ivill be no want of Parchment, as on a recent and similar occasion. Johanna Soulhcote uud her IJt'gh- Priest,- or ' the' Baitle- tloyal Extraordinary 1— A serio- comic fracas took place 011 Sunday last, in D ke- street, Westminster- road, near Ihe Obelisk, at the Chapel erected by the voluntary subscriptions of Ihe votaries, of this pro- phetess elect ! The reierend Mr. Tozer, a lath- render, who has long officiated Ss the grand minister and expounder of the doctrines and prophecies of this renowned lady, having been" Challenged to a formal conference or controversy, for several Sundays, by the reverend Mr. XoljiUiiva. boot-* jj)$€ h, ill the iteiglilrotir; hood, who undertook to confute the tenets of the Southcoteaii sect, vast numbers liavw, for some weeks past, been drawn together at the times appointed,' in. the expectation of hearing a very profound, erudite, and theological disputation between the divider of wood and the closer of leather.. On Sunday, between eleven and twelve o'clock,, tjie. last- mcntioned' personage ( not quite five feet high), took his place, as lie had been accustomed, on V chair, in front of the ' chapel; when, after a solemn, but vaiii1 invocation to the reverend Mr. Tozer, to enter the lists, lie proceeded to overwhelm Johanna anil, her- followers with his weighty arguments. Crowds attended. Ihis exhibition, and, alter he bad retired, a report became current, that the prophetess herself was in the chapel. This d ew a vast concourse lo the spot, which continued increasing t II about fiye- u'iinck, . en itie tcmpli- gate being, rudely pressed; tlie ( lerk of ihe tligh- i'rtfsl, who proved also lo be his chopper of timber for tiie lath- manufactory, rushed out, atid laid about hiin wilh a cane most sturdily. His instrument for chastising the profene wa » , however, taken from him, and ap- plied in 110 very agreeable manner lo his shoulders, by some of the unconverted multitude, who, in their turn, became Ihe assailants, and forced their way into Ihe sanctuary. A battle- royal followed, in whifch, alter a severe contest, Ihe elect - ere routed. The reverend Mr. Tozer, at length, felt it necessary tl> quit the holy Liverpool, precinct; and sevei al limbs of the law, yclept constables, having been called in, a number of persons were taken inlo custody. Some feiv days since, a fellow,.- holding forth on Chatham- hit'-, lo a flock uf Johanna's disciples, " in- vited any or all to visit that matron; and assured his hearers, that every doubt would be removed respecting Ihe approaching accouchement of lhat venerable lady. He most confidently predicted thc death of all the Bishops of the Established Church, cxcepl lour, within twelve months, il tliey interfered with, or in any way molested the expected parent of the New Messiah 1" "* The failure of the proplieck s of Johanna Southcote, seem to h ive no effect in, opening liie eyes of her deluded votaries. On one occasion she prognosticated Ihe death of her own father at a precise period. She had some chance to be right, for the man was above 70 years of age, and Iiis death was daily expected ; but, as if in spite to the prophetess, he long- survived the appointed period. To confirm her disciples, a miracle was announced to be performed on a certain day. A corpse was to he raised to life. Old Nick, however, in the shape of Wortley, a police officer from Union Hall, interposed, and. spoiled the effect, by proposing lliat' the dead man should first be stabbed with a dagger. AGRICULTURE.— Winter Barley, as a cattle food, is getting into high repute, from the great success of various persons within tbe last two or three years. It is the most certain and productive of all our winter green crops, and petliaps the besl calculated for sheep antl lambs; for after supporting them until late in April, it is shut up, and gives a cro[> i of the bust malting Barley. Winter Barley may be softn in a showery time from July tn Ibe end of September. Couch grass or qn'tch, as it is termed in some counties, justlv reprobated by the farmers as one of Ibe greatest pests of arable land, and so extremely difficulty to be pot rid of, ill common broad- cast husbandly, is, ueveribless, although the tact be not generally known, among the most nutritious aud feeding of all the natural gra.- st- s. In Lincolnshire, both sheep and cattle, when accidentally turned into a field over- run « i( b couch, h- ve been found to thrive more quickly than upon any other grass. The roots of couch in some northern countries, have been found even 0 very uotnisbin"" bread for human use, and the decoction of Ihese roots is siiti hv tiie old writers 10 be a restorative.— l. ast year, a I'aimer in Hants had uu acre of land completely covered by a sward of couch. The laud being tiiinly planted with fruit trees, and not otherwise wanted; the couch was suffered to remain until it became an abundant and flue crop. Precautions being taken to defend the trees from the teeth of tbe sheep, part of a tiock was turned in, and, t'o the great surprise of the farmer, they thrived as Weil as they could have done, had they fed upon the best leputed grass. This experiment is to be con- tinued. The experimenter rrpeau ibe resen. blaoce of couch to florin grass, and supposes its qualities similar, in which he agrees with firmer experience. Many have expressed an opinion of the value of couoh grass, but supposed it counter- balanced by tlie diRl. iulty, ' or rather impossibility, of extir- pating a full crop of it, when it should be desirable tn break it up. But a difficulty of ih. it kind e'xisisoniy iu the eom non, or bioai'- enst husliuodrv, and would cense entirely, aud be of no account, under the dtill anil borsi-'- lt ie. Burning the M.- H. r. Jonii B/ wtr, of Hnnslet, neat- Leeds, has effected very considerable'improvements in p.- itt of Ilis faun, by bunting tbe soil.— In 1812, he created a furnace, and burnt the soil, a foot deep, taking care not to carry it btyond a dull red. The experiment lias completely proved that this is tbe most effectual means of recovering the fertility of a worn out soil, by restoring lo it its latent beat.— in tire first year (.- til'i) the ground was found loo luxuriant; whea't and harley giew so strong, that tbe. stem would not support the ear. And tpis present season, the spot produces a better crop than Hie adjacent ground, which has been manured two years.— The burnt soil generally appears moist, whilst Ihe other is parched and dry.— Even the burning of stubble is ex- tiemely useful, as lending in some, degree, to bave the same effect as Ihe burning of lite soil. Bees.— A hive of bees, in the nursery belonging to Mr. James Robertson, Killmarnock, Scotland, had been lying out for some days. Tho top swarm, with the queen, were put into a hive filled with combs made lasl year, winch had died in the winter owing to Ihe severity of the weather. For some davs, it was jud- ed proper to feed, and on Ihe Tuesday evening so tut* broken combs were put upon a pewter plate 011 which the hive was placed ; and on being removed the follow- ing day, it was found swarming with young bees.— These, il is supposed, must haye remained, iu a torpid state, sealed up in the combs since last winter, ami were brought to life by the heat of the new hive.
