TS at DEMPSTER'S on Friday the 7th of IAURENCE MACDONALD, A. M. has - J opened CLASSES, in ( he above Seminary, for READING. PUBLIC SPEAKING, ENGLISH GRAMMAR, ami COMPOSITION. Mr. MACDON. M. D'S arrangement, embraces both Public enil Private Tuition. The liours of attendance in tlie Public Day School, are from 10 to 12 noon, and 3 to 5 afternoon. Terms per Quarter, .. £ 0 7 (> This Department may be considered preparatory to his Higher or Private Classes. Every attention will be paid to instruct the young Pupils in a style of correct pronunci- ation, as in the course of his experience, Mr. M'J>. has invariably felt almost insuperable difficulties in eradicat- ing vulgarisms of pronunciation, acquired in early life. To esercise the memory, and to explain the gram- irar- cal construction of th.- language*, will likewise tirrrn a principal part of tj. s system ; which cmnuHail to he of particular advantage to those whose views in after life, may prevent them from following out a Classical Educa- tion. , These Branches of Education will be taught to Pupils of more advanced years— from S to 9 morning; 12 to 2, afternoon; and fl to 3, evening; in select Classes com- posed of a limited number. Some of these hours will be set apart for Young Ladies; and an hour from 8 to 9, evening, will he kept open fur those Ovntlemen, whose other avocations may preclude them from attending at any- other time. To these, it will be Mr. MACBONAT. D'S particular study to explain the Elementary Rules for Tones and Inflec- tions. Carefully av„ i. ting however, laying the Pupils under any mechanical rules, which mi- ht contract their own conception of the various readings; be will simply preface each meeting with fotne critical observations, connected with the subject which is to be tbe exercise for that day. For teaching English Grammar, and gradually form- ing tbe Pupil's style of composition, Mr. M D. adopts the following simple plan, which has received tbe appro- bation of several eminent judges. Each Rule of Syntax will be accompanied by corres- ponding Exercises. When the Student has made some jirogress, a portion from one of the Poets will be given out, for the purpose of transposing into prose. In this ins- tance, the ideas and words arc both furnished to him. As lie advances, a passage from some Historian will be read aloud, which the Pupil will have to relate from memory iu his own words, and his Exercise will be revised, aud his errors pointed out, on the following meeting. Here the ideas are supplied, hut. the Student lias to select words fit for expressing them. When he arrives at what may be more strictly termed Rhetoric, he will then make choice of some popular subject, and embody his own ideas in the otm which he may consider most appropriate for them. In the Reciting Department. Theatrical Declamation will be cautiously guarded against; in place of which, it is Mr. M'D.' s design, after lajing down the rules on which all natural and elegant action depends, to leave the particular application of thtm to the Pupil's own judg- ment, merely correcting what may militate against the sense of the passage, and regulating what has been con- ceived in bad taste. I5v this means, a servile imitation of the Teacher's manner will be avoided, and the Pupil will thus acquire that easy, unaflected style, which distin- guishes polite society, and which is so essential a requisite for the accomplished orator, whether of the fui. nr, the ijAR. or llie l'OPDT.

The farm is well known to be the best in the district, early and well sheltered ; a good deal of lime has been put on the ground this season, and from 25 to 30 acres were sown down with grass and clover, which is looking uncommonly well.— There are above 200 acr< s of inclosed ground. 174 acres of which are arable land of superior quality, and in a high state of cultivation, The Farm is all divided, and inclos- ed with stones dykes, into 20 regular fields of a proper size, which are in general well watered, or with some little alteration may be made so. Eleven of the fields are pre- sently in grass ; it would answer well for grazing cattle. There is a sufficient Dwelling House on it, and abundance of Offices. The turnpike road to Aberdeen is within 200 yards of the Farm. Offers in writing will be received by- John Ewing, Ad- vocate in Aberdeen, previous to the day of sale.

As I have in a former letter given you some account of Smyrna, I shall now give you a short description of the bay and the places adjacent. The bay of Smyrna is a very commodious place for shipping, being very capacious, and having good ancbor- ing ground, which, if any thing, is rather too soft and muddy, and the ships bottoms are apt to gather worms.— It is likewise necessary, if a ship has occasion to stay here for a considerable time, to move her anchors and shift her cables. There is no tide here at all nor any perceptible, so that the water is just as s: iil and smooth as if it. was a lake. There is hardly any wind that can affect the ships, except the westerly, and even that must blow very hard , to injure them, for the bay is almost surrounded with high mountains. As Smyrna is a place of the most extensive trade of any in the Turkish dominions, there is generally a vast number of ships in the bay. from several parts of the world. It abounds with excellent fish of various kinds. There is a great number of the scuttle fish. or ink fish, so called ir • nhe great quantity of black liquid matter which it con rat*, a' within it,, and- throws our Wt » « rn k ir. pur- Suod. so as to discolour the water for a considerable way round it. This fish is all covered except its head, with a soft spungy kind of shell, which, when dried and burnt, makes very good pounce. It has t^- o. feelers, the under part of the ends of which are hard and rough : by these it can stick fast to a rock or any thing, stretching them out to a . great length. The Greeks call them their anchors. I have seen a very peculiar kind of fish here, called, not 1 impioperly, the sucker. It is about 15 inches long, and 5 inches round where thickest. This fish swims wirb its mouth upwards, and at first sight one would think the back of it was its belly ; but upon a near view it is easy to distinguish the one from the other. The upper partofits head is flat, and of an oval form, having rross lines full of small hooked claws, whereby it can easily fix itself to any soft substance. It. is said that the sucker is a great enemy to the shark, for it swims under that ravenous fish, arid fixing itself to } his be. lv gives him great uneasiness. It is of a blackish I colour, and has no scales : but it has a large, fin on each side of its neck, and another fin that runs down from the I middle of its back to the tail, as you may observe in the j figure of it which I have drawn. I There ' are a great many porcupine fish, if it be proper 1 to call them by that name. They are a small fish includ situate on a point of land ; it is remarkable for it3 physi* cal waters. Before Vourla and Charpan are several small island^ That called Partridge island, is about four or five miles round, and abounds with partridges and. rabbits. I was. on it for three days, with a party who went for diversion. No body lives on it but in the summer time ; there are several flocks of sheep and gouts on it, belonging; to Turks of Charpan. A great part of it is arable, and with propcC- pains might be made to bear corn ; but the Turks are too liizy to give themselves this trouble. The north part ofij is pretty steep towards the sea, and quite " covered with, bushes, where the rabbits find good shelter, of which there are great plenty, and you may see them frisking* about in the morning and evening. There is a great deal of she lentiscas. or wild mastic shrub, which spreads a most delicious perfume as ydu brush through it in the morning in pursuit of your game. There is likewise plenty of hollv. and other prickly shrubs, which makes it necessary to wear boots. I observed the Agnus Cast us, squills, and the canopiza, which is a fragrant smelling shrub. Through the middle of the island, frcm west to east, 6bere runs K deep valley, at the eavi- rmost end of' which, bard by the sea side, there is * sonug u; .,> y •_.•>•• « ', - vater, with a convenient plao- for dressing vict. Js, Here w © pitched our tent, and spent our time very comfortably in fowling and fishing ; for we had a saine with U*, and caught plenty of finh. North of Partridge Island. Ii£ s Long . Island, about 7 or 8 miles long. It is at present uninhabited, but serves ; for pasture to sheep an<) goats. I never was on it, but 5& • is said there are some fragments of cisterns on it, so thab probably it has been formerly inhabited. Now let us cross over to the other side, and vve shall find the river Iiermus, called by. the Turks Jhadeez, which empties itself into the bay, almost opposite to Jaco- more Castle. This river is pretty large, and has a lon<* . course, upwards of 100 miles. It runs upon a very sandy* j channel, and has choaked up the bay for a considerable, way On that side ; so that now there is dry land where the sea used to be formerly. About two miles up the river, is a little village called Sea la ; and higher up in tb< 3 country, on the same river, lies a pretty large town called Menam. nfl About five or six miles eastward ofthe mouth of tho. Herrnus, is Scala Nova, frr^ n whence the caiques, oe small vessels of the country, carry a vast quantity of melons, „ '' I and other fruit, and also salt to Smyrna, ed m a round shell full of prickles, which they can move j A„ along th( J bay t() # t> eastwari, of Sca1a ^ country is plain, and the fields would be very fruitful at pleasure, and it is dangerous to be pricked by them. There is a simall fish called miilicopi, whose fins and part of its skin are beautifully varied of a pure red and green colour. The butter fish has no scales and is very soft and fat, the Greeks call it salaria. There are a pro- digious number of other fish in the bay, which are very delicate eating, and they are easily caught in a seine. Between Smyrna and Jacomore Castle, there are se- veral pleasant vineyards and orchards of olives, inters- persed with myrtle and laurel. This Castle, called by the Turks, Yeni Golah, i. e. new Cas- le, is built in form of a square, except the side towards the point which is round, the better to defend the passage. The walls are low with battlements, arid has a tower on each corner. / The em- brasures for the guns are at the bottom of the wall ; for tho guns are all on the ground, and in a very bad condi- tion, without proper carriages. Towards the sea they have two very lar^ e brass guns, one of which has a bore of 22 inches diameter, and the other of 21 : and they have each ; a stone bullet lying before them. These huge pieces could j only be fired once, - having no carriages at all. They iijive j were thev properly cultivated ; for nature has done her part sufficiently. The. soil i^ kligl H. that a couple o( r bullocks or of buffaloes are siMrcient to draw the plough^ which has only one handle i and one man generally holds* and drives too. He always carries home with him thtfc ; iron appendages of his plough f.- r fear, of thieves. They first sow the field, and then plow it, or rather scratch the surface of it over . Instead of a harrow, they make use of a long . quare. log of wood, with which they smooth it. and , cover the grain. j When the corn is cut down, they gather it in heaps on | the field, and instead of threshing it, they tread out tho j grain by means of* a kind of sledge, drawn round by tvva ; bullocks, the lower part of which is stuck full of flinfir ! stones, and « person mounts on the top of this machine, ia i order to pr^ § it down Perhaps it may have been to thig ; custom that Moses alludes, wtien lie. forbids the Israelites *' to muzzle the ox when he treadetb out the corn." Their tnanner of winnowing the com, after it is prepare ed in this manner, is no less peculiar. They have larg< i likewise stone shot for all their cannon, piled up within j Uo„ ow shove| s wiih wn5c|? , liey tIuw it u? int0 tho aV NOTICE To the DEBTORS and CREDITORS of JOHN , ROBERTSON, Merchant in Aberdeen.

Aberdeen, Nov. 25, 1821. VILLA AND HOUSES FOR SALE. To be sold, by public roup, within Maslin's Inn, Queen Street, on Friday the 7th day of December next, at 6 o'clock in the evening, THAT VILLA called BELLFIELD, con- JL. sisting of Twenty Acres of Ground, Scots Measure, lying on the south side of the Skene Turnpike Road, be- tween three and four miles from Aberdeen. The Ground is mostly inclosed, all at present in Grass, and the Houses commodious and substantial. At same time will be exposed to public safe, that Piece of GROUND, DWELLING HOUSE, and Four SHEDS or COAL CELLARS, built thereon, lying { and . let. it fall in a heap. V/ h^ n they !>•:• « * repoa. vd I operation, till suctt time as the chaff is pretty well separat- ed from the good grain, they sift it through a lar^ e kind of sieve, which retains the husks. And thus they dresa their corn and make it fit for use. The country in general is very fertile ; but the Turka are such an idle, indo'eut sort of people, that what relates to husbandry and agriculture is in a very indifferent state at present. There are great numbers of fig trees growing wild, which, bear excellent fruit. They have likewise, with very littl © culture, plenty ofpomgranates. chesnuts; walnuts, oranges, j lemons, and almonds, with many other kinds of fruit ' 5 A great deal of sweet fennel and aguus castus grows wild was a temple of ] aniung fhe rie| ds. There are likewise many turpentine trees, which ar © rrnich. frequented on account of their red berries, by birds* lied becaligas. These birds are reckoned very good the castle. I could not observe any iron bullets at all.- This easliy serves as .. place of security m the neighbour- ing cattle, which are driven into it every night. It is very far from being strong, and might easily be taken by an enemy. I wonder that the Maltese, who are always at war with the Turks, never think of attacking Smyrna, winch is a very naked defenceless place. There is a village hard by this castle, called Ekiklaar, in a very pleasant situation, among olive groves and myrtle hedges. Between it and the mountains there is a large wood of olive trees, wliich yield a great quantity of olives, and nobody is hindered from gatheiing what they have a mind. At the foot of the mountain called the three sisters, there is a hot spring. Strabo says there Apolio near this place, but there are no remains of it now. Thereare a great number of jackal Is among the mountains, which make a terribly noise, barking and howling in the night time. There are liUwisemany wild hogs, which are j ' an( 4 ' th e'. hoot i ng" of' i hem' I fiords ' a" good excellent eating. They have hardly any taste of pork, and taste rather like venison. Between Jacomore Castle and the village of Kelisman, lies the lofty two headed mountain, called the two brothers. A party of us went armed one day to the top of it. We found there two Turks with a large flock of goats, who at first were going to make opposition to us by presenting their pieces ; and, indeed, as the the place is very steep fcnd rocky, and difficult to climb up, one man could easily oppose a dozen. We used fair words to them ( for 1 believe they were afraid of their goats) and they suffered us to go up. As it was a very clear, day, we had an extensive prospect both of sea and land. We saw the island of on the west side of the road that leads from Garvock | r. * • , i ~ • ' ^ i , m a u- i __ T , TT .. rT.,, , , , .

Lon- don may be bad of Messrs. WILLIAMSON and FORSYTH, Druggists, Castle Street; and INNES, Druggist, Broad Street. These Waters are prepared with patent Glass Machi- nery, to prevent any injurious metallic impregnation, to which all others are liable being made with Brass and Copper Apparatus— they are also infinitely higher etiarged with gas, rendering them at, once more grateful and more salubrious, and by all who have tasted them are acknow- ledged to be as much superior to all others as Champagne to common Table Beer. These facts are submiited to public observation, that the reputation of II AMILTON'S AERATED WATERS may not suffer from interested imposition, all the Common Soda Water makers ( a deci- sive proof of our superiority), having copied the patent Oval Bottles ; the worst of all these makers very candidly and kindly applaud our machinery in his advertisements, biit mo § tJ'alsely insinuates that his waters are made with it; and, at the same time asserts, that a Dr. M urray ( perhaps a party concerned), had analyse*.- his Magnesia Water, j and found that each bottle contained 10 grain* ! ! ! Ilappy discovery ! of unparalleled ignorance in the manufacture, and of the extreme insignificance of his preparation, in the face of the whole world. Mr. Johnston's Magnesia Water, in general sale, contains SO orfli/ iS in each bottle, in perfect solution, as clear as crystal, and at the same time so highly aerated, that the corks generally escape with considerable force on the removal of the string or wire.— Another word, therefore, need not be said except that it may be had of him with more than 100 grains in each totita Lome EDITOR of the ABERDEEN CHRONICLE. SIR, On Friday last, there was exhibited to an immensely great crowd in Castle Street, a very revolting spectacle, the ignominous exit of tlie late George Thorn, executed for wilful and deliberate murder. I did not witness the scene, but I am informed, that great gravity and com- posure reigned through tin countless multitude of spec- tators. I am somewhat apprehensive, however, that these becoming feelings arose, as most comrriorily thi? y do, more from humanity, and a kind of sympathy for the un- happy man. than from a just sense of the enormity of his crime, or of the unhallowed purpose which led to its com- mission. Might not I. therefore, be permitted, through the medium of your highly useful paper, to suggest to tho Rev. the Clergy of this very populous and commercial city, the propriety of making Covetousness, or the inor- dinate love of money, the subject of several discourses from the pulpit. If this be done, I will vouch, that it will produce more beneficial effects than fifty executions. Christian duties, enforced from Christian motives, is the true method of reforming mankind. EUBULUS. GucstroiVy Aberdeen, Nov. 22, 1821. VOYAGE TO THE LEVANT. LETTER XT. DEAR SIR, Smyrna, Jan. 1, 1759. At last we have got sure intelligence that the Triton and Minerva are gone to TvAilon, and I believe we shall sail from hence i'< r Scanderoon in a few days. This place has been alarmed again with the plague, which has stopped us for some time on account of the bills of health. I' was occasioned by a Neapolitan ship which cwme from Constantinople, the master of which sent ashore some linen to be washed, and as the washer- woman was looking it over, she cropped down dead, and one or two more of her family died soon after : upon this all shops were shut up, and a general terror Utgau to take pl& L'? » at a vast distance ; likewise Scio, Metylene, and even Tenedos, as some of us imagined, but we were not certain. We had a fine view of the Gulf of Smyrna, and could see its true form and dimensions. It is quite of different form from what it appears when you are below on the shore. On this mountain I observed a great deal ofthe arbutus, or strawberry tree, which is a very curious kind of shrub, for it joins three seasons into one, bearing ripe fruit, green fruit, and blossoms, all at the same time. The fruit is little inferior to the garden strawberry, only it is a little more tart, and not quite so luscious, but it is rather larger. I saw likewise several wild pear trees and quinces, and a great quantity of a dwarf kind of oak called velani, the acorns of which are used by dyers. I saw another shrub that carried red berries, somewhat resembling,! hose of the arbutus, but considerably smaller. The Greeks call it cumara. I am apt to think, that Mr. Thomson is guiby of a con- siderable mistake, when he asserts, < 4 that the town of Smyrna is chiefly furnished with water from a stream Coming from Mount. Munas, or the two brothers, convey- ed by several. aqueducts." There is almost one c6ntinu- ed ridge of mountains between the two brothers & nd Smyrna, and the distance being more than twelve miles, it is not probable they would have brought their water so far, even admitting- the possibility of doing it, especially as they can he supplied much nearer.- At the bottom of this mountain, along the beach, are several large plane trees, or platani orientals, by some calied button- wood tree, from the round figure of vts seeds : and the branches of it spread very wide, forming a fine agreeable shade in the summer time, as ttoe leaves are very broad. To the westward of the two brothers, about 10 or 11 miles from Jacomore Castle, lies Kelisman, a small village by the sea side, and beyond it, Vourla is situated on an eminence, which is supposed to be the place wjiere the ancient Clazomene stood. Thisis a point indeed th : t has puzzled many travellers and geographers, as it is expressly called an island by the ancients, and h must have been no inconsiderable one, as it is mentioned as such togeiher with Cyprus. For one of the articles of peace between Artaxerxes and the Lacedemonians was, that the Grecian cities in Asia, with the islaudsof Ciazomene and Cyprus, should be under the power of the Persians. Vourla is not in an island, but it lies- in a kind of peninsula, the bay of Charpan running ( ehind it. Doctor Pocoeke lias been at s > me pains to ptove that this must have been the situation of Clazomene, and I think he makes it very probable. Charyan is a bmali village about iwo miles fwrn Vuurla, ment to gentlemen that are fond of such diversion, fluj. method generally used rn shooting them is, to go out early in the morning, when they are hungry, or in the after- noon, and instead of searching about f om one place to another, you seat yourself under, t> r in some convenient place near a turpentine tree, and so pop them down as i fast as they settle on the branches to pick the berries. \ They have pieces on purpose, which they call becafiga. guns, with very long barrels and small bores, which art*; I chiefly made at Venice. The country is very pleasant all round that part of the- bay Called Peg's Hole, formerly Sinus Meleticus, between which and Smyrna, are several gardens arid Country seats, There is an animal called a turrepme. or land tortoise, commonly to be met with about Smyrna, which is cover- ed with a shell like a sea tortoise or turtle fi\ h. The camelion is likewise frequently to be seen here, especially among the old ruins. This is one of the most Curious* and at the same time, one of the - most unaccountable- animals, that have hitherto been observed by - aturalists. Their feeding on air is justly looked upon as a chimera ; but their often changing colour, according to that ofthe place where you put them, is really astonishing. I sa a couple of ostriches walking the streets. They are very large birds, their legs and thighs are very thick and long, and their feet are somewhat like those of the camel. They cannot fly, bnt they run very swift. There are numbers, of pelicans here, which are likewise a large kind of fowl. The bill of this one, of which I send yen the figure, is nof less than 18 inches long, and hooked at the nib. Tba bag under the beak is of a very elast'O substance, and they Stretch it out when you throw them any tiling to eat. It is of a yellowish colonr* I hey have a very small tongue, which is hardly an inch long. Bef re I take my leave of Smyrna. I must acquaint yoil with a terrible accident that happened not long ago. " A. fire broke out one evening about 10 o'clock, in the Turk's town, and as tlie houseware built of wood, it soon made a prodigious blaz", so as to illuminate the whole borizxi, and paint the clouds of a reddish colour as if the sun were rising. I had a full view of this dismal seen* from the bay. AUt e Co . suls sent. their engines immediately tcp their assistance, and about two . o'cloc^ next morning, they got it quite extinguished. There were near two hundred, houses destroyed, and it was very lucky there wafi no wind, oiberwise it might . have done a great deal of more damage. rri the midst ofthe hurry and confusion, a wicked Turk, had the audaciousness to cut the hose of tha Fr rich Con? sul's engine, and so rendered it useless. What prom, ted him to be guilty of this villatvy is uncertain, but he met With his just reward, for lie w « s seiz. d in the very fact, and some Were for cutting off'his head at once; however, he was immediately hauled to prison with a Greek or two, where they continued till next morning . but the © reeks making their innocence appear, were, discharged.

Both fie and the other were strangled next morning, and thrown out into the street, where they remained for two days and a night, as a spectacle and warning to all that pa - ed by . and then they were privately thrown into the s a.. or somewhere out of the way, for no burial was allowed them.

This work is written in an irttcrestirig. style, and has irreaterclaims toConfidenCe than anv tiling which has recently appeared ( in the subject. The author did not, like Mr. Strachan, stop a few months on the selvage of the country, and then describe the interior, which he had never seen, aud of which he could know just as much as a Frenchman arriving in J. oudoti could know ofthe Scotch Highlands. Mr. Howison remained nearly two years in Upper Cana- da : he traversed its whole extent from Montreal to Lake St. Clair, visited almost every settlement in it, mid spent his time in the houses and in the society of the settlers. We need scarcely add that his stock of information, and his powers of description, areas superior to Mr Strachan's, as his opportunities of observation. He possesses a cultivated mind, fine tasje, and a poetical fancy ; but not much of that worldly sagacity which results from the collisions of self- interest in dealings with mankind. He has an eye for whatever is fine in scenery, and dilates with enthusiasm on the magnificent objects which the forest. 0, lakes, and cataracts ofthe Canadian solitude present. He is less at home in describing characters and manners, and yet his pictures of tlie state of society constitute the most valuable part of the book, and that or which it will be chiefly prized. On this subject he is not p rhaps. without his share of pre- judice • but if we should be inclined to qualify his Judgments in some particulars, we never doubt that he has given us his impressions with the utijiost truth and fidelity . and as settlers of different descriptions nre now flocking to that country, it must be interest- ing to many individuals to know what they may learn from his book— how an Englishman, well educated, and of cultivated taste and habits, would feel in Ca- nadian society. The part of Upper Canada which Mr. Howison considers as the most inviting to settlers, is that which extends along the north side of Lake Erie. The soil is generally good, pretty easily cleared, and comparatively little enctimbernd with marshes, l ite winter is much shorter than in Lower Canada, the climate milder and more healthy. Unfortunately the situation of this district is extremely remote Perhaps very few ofthe emigrants who leave Britain are aware, that after they have got to Quebec, thev have still to travel 690 or 700 miles before they reach this land of promise ; and as the journey must be performed in Batteaux or steam boats, it costs fully as much as the passage from Britain. Hence ithappens thatmanv of the emigrantsremain poverty- struck at Quebec, and some t^ turii home sorrowful and dejected, to encounter anew the evils from which thev hoped to fly. A great reaction setSjiili to have taken place in Canada after the close of the war, exactly as in Britain and in the United States. The pay which the Canadians received as militiamen, the money mid bills which the Government put into circulation, and the demmd for produce in consequence ofthe increase of the army, and the buildings of vessels and fortifications raised prices, and gave a great stimulus to cultivation. When hostilities ceased, this excitement ceased with them ; and now Mr. I lovvison informs us that flour brings no price ; trade and agriculture are in a state of depression ; the farmers cannot find as much specie as pay their trifling tax of a penny an acre ; most of the farms nre under mortgage ; and as a remedy for their suffer- ings, the Canadians " are continually wishing that the province may again become the scene of hostili- ties." There are thousands in this country infected with the same mania as the Canadians Among the train of evils which war generates ought always to be reckoned the perverted views of interest it creates among the industrious classes. Mr. Howison gives a most unfavourable picture of the state of society in Upper Canada. The people, lie savs, are " unamiable and dishonest,'—" sunk iu degradation, ignoiance and profligacy"—( p. 143, 1691 ; thev consider nothing a crime except what exposes them to the vengeance of the law, and cheat one another in their bartering transactions, " under the name of taking advantage." They have indeed Some good qualities ; thev are hospitable, willing to render mutual assistar. ee; they treat each other with much respect and even ceremony, and readily admit the poorest emigrantiuto their society on terms of perfect equality. But though they have been twenty, or thirty, or forty years in the country, " thev are still the same untutored incorrigiblebeinffs rs ts that they probably were, when the rulfian remnant of a disbanded regiment, or the outlawed refuse of some European nation, they sought refuge in the wilds of Upper Canada, aware that they could neither find means of subsistence, nor be countenan- ced in any civilised country." The Sabbaths is generally neglected, and indeed can scarcely be otherwise, since even where the settlements are thickest, there are but. four places where public worship is performed within 300 miles, ( p. 142). " If we examine the wilds of North America, we will find men placed beyond the reach of want, cn- joying unbounded liberty, all equal in power and property, and independent of each other. Such a combination of happy circumstances would seem well adapted to extinguish and repress evil habits and vicious propensities ; but it has no effect of the kind whatever, for the inhabitants of the bountiful wild- erness are as depraved in their morals, and as de- graded in their ideas, as the refuse population of a large city." ( p. 17.5.) It is rather mortifying to find, that the contagion of wickedness breaks down the moral and orderly habits 6f our own countrymen, so celebrated for prudence and good conduct. Our author assures us, that " in Upper Canada, the ne plus ultra of vanity, impudence and rascality, is thought to be comprised under the epithet Scutch Yanlfey." With al! the confidence we feel in our author's yeracitv and candour, we are convinced this picture of the vices of the Canadians is overcharged. The frontier settlers iu all new countries are indeed ne- cessarily a half barbarous race ; and Upper Canada niav be considered as entirely frontier. The popula- tion is not, as in Illinois and Indiana, diffused over a circular space, but forms a narrow line or thread along the northern margin of Lakes Ontario and Erie. Hence there is not the same means of con- centration, and though the numbers increase, so- ciety makes little progress. There are many reasons - why the inhabitants of such new settlements should be lawless and coarse in their manners : Some of them weft outcasts at first, men who having for- feited character bv their vices or their crimes, fly to the wilderness to escape from infamy ; not a few of trie Upper Canadians are the " ruffian remnants" of disbanded regiments ; others are adventurers, ot a restless rather than orderly character ; and the settlers who carry good dispositions and principles with them into the wilds, though pretty numerous, have not influence sufficient to raise the character of the rest td their own level.' A society so con- stituted, and placed in a situation where tlie restraints of law, religion, and public opinion are scarcely felt, cannot be expected to exhibit an example of Arca- dian innocence and simplicity. But notwithstanding all these drawbacks on Canadian morals, we cannot believe that men, whose situation preserves them from idleness and want, the two great sources of vice and crime, can he so depraved as they are represent- ed. And we think we can discover in our author's character and circumstances, a kev to the severity of his judgment. Mr. Howison is a young man, genteelly educated, who has drawn many of Ilis ideas from works of imagination, and has had little of that kind of intercourse with mankind which brings out the selfish principles of their nature. We have no doubt that he has known his own countrymen, chiefly in domestic and private society, and that he has rarely seen them such as the competition of opposite interests makes them. When a young man so brought up, believing every person to be generous and honourable, because he is so himself, first comes into contact with the less educated classes, through the medium of pecuniary interest, he is revolted by the coarseness and selfishness he sees around him, and is apt to believe that all mankind are preying o; i one another. Had our traveller been more familiar with the conduct of those classes among our own peasantry, whose situation resembles that of the Canadians— as it is seen at fairs and country mar- kets— we believe he would have moderated his in- dignation at the faults of the latter. Many virtues may lurk under a rough exterior, and many good qualities may subsist along with that mercantile sharpness which men are obliged to assume in self defence. We do not mean that the Canadians are on a level with our countrymen ; but we think Mr. Howison has seen their conduct through a medium which has magnified what is bad in their character. One sentiment he throws out on this subject, which we cannot condemn too strongly : " It will befound," he savs, " that the lower classes are never eitlier virtuous, happy or respectable, unless they live iu a state of subordination, and depend in some degree on their superiors for occupation and subsistence" Fear of their superiors, he thinks is the or. lv safeguard to the morals of the labouring classes. Fear may re- press some gross offences ; it inav make men fawn- ing and hypocritical; but it cannot inspire those good feelings and dispositions which are the source of honourable and virtuous deeds. No small propor- tion of the upper classes are dissipated and immoral, and how can they repress in others, that licentious- ness which they practice themselves ? The Swiss peasantry, the most independent in Europe, have always been the most orderly and virtuous; while the serfs of Moldavia aud Russia are rude, thievish, and drunken beyond conception. To come nearer home, the peasantry of Ireland are the most dependent on their superiors for subsistence of any ofthe British empire ; and Mr. Howison may see the influence of this upon tlu- ir morals, in the midnight meetings, the murders and burnings, which keep the western counties of that country in terror and confusion. With these small abatements, we think most favourably of Mr. Howison's book. lis anecdotes and reports of Canadian conversation are amusing and characteristic. He is free of offensive prejudices in politics or religion ; he is neither ignorant like Mr. Strachan, nor affected like Mr. Fearon, but writes like a man of sense and taste; and his work, though not expressly calculated for emigrants, will, we believe, afford them more useful and accurate information about the present state of Canada, than any other they can consult.— Scotsman. KING AND UNIVERSITY OF GOTTINGEN. El spes et ratio studiorum in Cdtsare lantum. The reception of his Majesty in the city of Got- tingen, which possesses one of the most celebrated Universities in Germany, was, we are told by the correspondent of the Ultra, of the most interesting description. After the King's arrival he procerded immediately to one of the schools, as a compliment to the learning of the University, the Riding School. " The Riding- master ofthe University then enter- ed the ground, and approaching to the tribune, made his obeisance, and asked permission to exhibit the mode of horsemanship taught iu the school The King bowed assent, and a school horse was then led into the ground, when the riding- master mounted him, and exhibited the precision and regu- larity of the movements to perfection. " After the termination of this exhibition, Mr. Avrer, the riding- master, again approaching to the tribune, asked permission to give a specimen of his instruction. His Majesty having expressed assent, ten students of the University, mounted on well- trained horses, were introduced. Two quadrilles were then performed with great exactness to the measure of music ! 11" The learned men in his Majesty's suite must doubtless have been wonder- ously edified by this specimen of scholastic pro- ficiency ; but when we read of the following gal- lant achievements, we tremble lest the fame of Astley's Amphitheatre should be for ever eclipsed by that of the University of Gottingen :—" They then galloped on, and bore off the ring with their lances ; having for a moment held the ring on the point of the lance in the air, the Knight ( or Eques) threw down the lance, and seizing a dart, smote ofFthe head of a Saracen 1 Instantly loosening his pistol, he fired at the head of a Moor, and it fell to the earth. The Knight then drew his sword, and piercing a Saracen's head, bore it aloft in triumph through the air!! 1" These are bloody doin< js in- deed, and shew the martial spirit of these peaceful times. Is this the philosophic youth of Germany ? But it was perhaps thought proper that the student, should, like the citizens of Hanover, make a mili- tary appei r. ince. Let lis however suppose his Ma- jesty, on arriving at Oxford, to be invited bv the Masters and Professors to assist at the exhibition of a boat race oil the Isis, or to join in a fox hunt. Yvrould the King much relish the publication of so delicate a compliment ? The King, however, satisfied with what he had seen of the scholastic exercises and exhibitions of this learned University, left the town after a delay of half an hour, and at Mnnden the Ultra writer thus profoundly ponders on the reluctant expression of ' Hanoverian loyalty : —" That the people of Han- over wish again to see him ( the King), every person who travels through the country is well aware ; that they love their King none can doubt, although, per- haps, in expressing that affection, they are not cla- ' morous• Possessed of the richest language in Europe, i they present to themselves the picture of their own feel- ! tngs in the strongest light; satisfied within themselves, : they are not clamorous from without." What a • miserly people they must be. hoarding up the riches j of their language in the strong box of taciturnity 1 \ What a nation of dark lanterns, full ofthe strong i i light of loyalty, yet shutting it up that tliey may be satisfied within themselves! The Irish, on the contrary, pelted the King most liberally with their poor language, and let the light of loyalty shine out so strong, that it was broad day at Dublin long after dark They that know the King's peculiarly graceful manners and imposing demeanour, can never enter- tain a doubt of^ he impression they must make oil the observer; but from the following servile pas- sage, the reader would Conclude his Majesty to be a very ordinary personage, remarkable onlv for the j fortuitous circumstance of Royal birth :—" It would j have been gratifying to every British subject, who has a spark of loyalty in his breast, to have heard the praises bestowed on the King by the most disin- terested observers— men of different countries, and different ranks, who had no purpose to serve, and were in every respect impartial."— All impatience for a specimen of these praises, the repetition of which is to warm every loyal heart, we are chilled by the following phlegmatic and perhaps somewhat equivocal expression, clubbed and bandied about bv the Prussian General Officers :—" Yes, this is in- ! deed the King of Great Britain!" But possibly, 1 like Tom Thumb, the expression is so great be- i cause it is so small.— Morn. Chron.

SUPPRESSED MONASTERIES IN SPAIN. We have before us the account of the number of Monasteries and Convents suppressed in the Pen- insula in consequence of the law of the 6th of September, 1820. The statement is very curious, and we consider it worthy of the attention of our readers, who cannot fail to applaud the. wisdom by which the country has lieen relieved of a heavy burden, and recovered property of which it has been for ag<; s deprived. The Jestrits possessed, in the provinces of To- ledo, Castile, Arragon, and Andalusia, 124 col- leges, and 16 houses of residence, which, if not completely occupied at the time of the suppression, would soon have been so in consequence of the activity of the new Propagandists. The monks of St. Bcndict held in the congre- gation of Valladolid and in La Tarraconcnse, 63 of the suppressed monasteries. The monks of St. Bernard had 60 in the congregation of Castile and Leon, and in that ofthe Cistercian of Arragon and Navarre. The Carthusian monks had 16 in the provinces of Arragon and Castile. The monks of St. Jerome had 48 in six circuits of eight monas- teries each. The monks of St. Basil had in the provinces of Andalusia, Castile, and El Tardon, 17. The Premonstratensians had 17 of the sup- pressed convents; the Military Orders, 14; the Hospitalers of St. John de Dios, 58 ; those of Sancti- Spiritus, 8 ; and those of San Antonia Abad, 36. Making in ail, 477, How many hands are thus in future saved for agriculture, for the arts, and every kind of in- dustry ! How much wealth will be distributed through all the classes of society! What an in- crease of population must take place in a country where the present population is not one half of the pursued Naples and in Sicily. An absolute prohibition is also expected against any communication with the islands ofthe Archipelago, the Morea, or Epirus. VIENNA, October 28.— The day before yester- day an important piece of intelligence was circulated with the greatest rapidity at Vienna. It was said the Porte had declared war with Russia. The news may not be authentic, but it is not impossible. Such a declaration of war would be, for the Russian Ad- ministration, the best means of concluding the negotiations. Russia would then be obliged to de- fend herself. Great activity prevails amongst our diplomatists ; the arrival and departure of couriers are incessant; but nothing positive is known ; and the rumours in circulation do not appear to deserve any credit. LEGHORN, Oct. 26— Some remains of Ypsi- lanti's corps, forming a strange mixture of Albani- ans, Greeks, and WaHacliians, embarked here late- ly for the Morea. It was necessary to have an es- cort of our garrison, the greater part refusing to go on board. Several vessels from the Levant bring accounts by no means favourable to the Greeks ; a strong Ottoman army is said to have entered the Morea ; the dissolution of the Greek fleet is also talked of, each vessel having returned to its respective port. The Pacha of Egypt protects the peaceable Greeks in this province : he is fitting out another squadron. FROM GERMAN PAPERS. AUGSHUHO, NOV. ,5 In opposition to the ru- mours of war, which have been in circulation dur- ing several days, it is known, as certain, that the negotiations between Russia and the Ottoman Porte are not vet broken off; the attitude, however, Which those two powers are tJ. ing excites fears chat peace will not be maintained. An order of the day, published at Witcpsk im- mediately after the review of the regiments ofthe guard by the Emperor Alexander, announces, that the Russian army would continue on a war footing, to be ready to march at a moment's notice, and that the Imperial guard would continue in its canton- ments Commercial letters have just arrived, which state that the Russian troops cantoned in the Ukraine have received orders to advance, by forced marches, upon the Pruth, to join the army already under the command ofGetieral Count de Wittgenstein. FRANKFORT, Nov. 3,— Accounts have reach- ed Vienna, that the head of Weli Pacha, ( son of Aii Pacha of Janina), and that of his son Mehcined Pacha, were placed over the portal ofthe Seraglio on the 30th of September. They had deposited at Santa Maura, ( one of the Ionian islands), their treasure, amounting to 5,000,000 of piastres to which thev appointed the English General Frederic Adam heir, in case of their death. It is, however, doubted whether the General can claim this wealth, for, according to established custom in the Otto- man empire, a Pacha Cannot bequeath property, the Grand Seignior being heir, bv right, of ail those whom he thinks proper U condemn to death. ^ The Swedish Government has caused to be con- tradicted several incorrect articles of intelligence which have been published by foreign journals, such as the Courier of tlie Low Countries and the Times. November 5.— Cerigri Has at present an English garrison, consisting of about 800 men. This isle now possesses all the families of the French, Eng- lish, and Austrian Consuls, residents in the island of Candia, who judged it expedient to remove their wives and children to a place ofsecurity against the cruelty of the Turks. CONSTASTINOPLE, Oct. 21 Consternation jias prevailed for some days past in this capital. The disasters which the Turkish troops have lately ex- perienced from the Morea to Larissa, are talked of in public It is ascertained that they have been completely defeated by the Greeks, and Ali Pacha* who has ultimately made common cause with them. Two Pachas have been killed, and a third, it is add- ed, is. severely wounded. Since this late success of the Greeks, it is thought the retaliation has been terrible. Their forces have been considerably aug- mented ; they have defeated four corps. There never was a more dreadful and more obstinate en- gagement ; the combat lasted for nine days without interruption. The success was decider! by Antar, the commandant of the Greeks of Thessaiv the country of Ali Pacha. The latter had got rid of the blockade, and fights with all the rage ol'despair and revengewhich the death of his twosonsexcitcd in him. The uneasiness is general here, the Turks are re- inforcing their armies. The success of the Greeks is a signal event, and forms a new era in history. October 22.— The arrival of Capt. Bergamine with the liussian flag has giveft great pleasure to the Porte and the people. Inferences favourable to peace were immediately deduced from it. There could not be a more seasonable diversion to the terri- ble accounts from Albania. It is doubtless to divert the minds of the people that a report has been circulated this morning that the Turkish fleet had relieved the squadron of the Captain Bey in the Gulf of Lepanto from blockade, and that it had captured twenty ofthe Greek vessels, j some say fifty. The Idriots and Ipsariots, it is added, have returned to their harbours, and propo- sitions have been made for an accommodation, al- though the Porte at first formally refused to listen to them. Dutch papers have been received to the 10th inst. containing an account ofthe conquest of Palembang bv the Dutch naval and military forces, after a severe contest. fhe cholera morbus still rages dreadfully at Ban- tam, tlie out districts of Sourabavs and Passarauang. At Bantam about 100 person die daily. AMERICA, 4c. By the following paragraph, which we derive from an official course, it will be seen that Spain has by this time been deprived of almost her last hold of importance on the Peninsula of South Ame- rica. Carthagena is a place of immense strength, and if properly victualled and garrisoned, is consi- dered impregnable. " A letter received from President Bolivar, dat- ed Cucuta, Sept. 7, 1821, states, that the inha- bitants of Carthagena had sent a deputation .. offering to surrender, provided the President would take pos- session in person It was his intention to make his public entry into that city on tlie 1st October." CAPTURE OF I. IMA. Bv the Good Intent, arrived in the Downs, letters and papers to the 5th September have been receiv- ed from Buenos Avres, communicating the impor- tant intelligence of the f. dl of Lima. 1 he following bulletin is given as published at Buenos Ay res, ou the arrival oftliv: news. It also conmins advice*" of the defeat of Can- era, near Meudoza, on the 24th August— an event of much consequence to the wel- fare of Buenos Ay res itself:— - VIVA LA F ATRIA! " Citizens, though the Government have not yet received an official account ofthe entrance of Gene- ral San Martin into the capital of Peru, they hasten to announce it to you as certain, on the following statement:— Letter from a respectable English Resident in Santiago de Chili, to another in this City. " Santiago, August 13, One o'clock. " My Dear Friend— The glorious news of the fall of Lima has just arrived. The Montezuma has come into port with the official account that Gene- ral San Martin has entered Lima by force of arms. " Give Games 150 dollars if he should be the first to bring the news." " The bearer of the preceding letter is D. F. Games, who was in the valley of La Aconcagua, laying in provisions for passing the Cordilleras, and conveying to Mendoza arms and money for the Go- vernment of Chili, when the intelligence arrived there of the occupation of Lima by the liberating army, and was celebrated by salutes of cannon aud other rejoicings. Games relates tiiat he immediate- ly repaired to the house of the Governor ofthe town of La Aconcagua, obtained a copy ofthe dispatch, and undertook the passage of the Cordilleras ; t. iat from a considerable height lie saw that a man on the declivity, with a white flag, was making a signal to descend ; aud that as he would not venture to descend, the man with the white flag, who proved to fie an English Gentleman, came up to bun and delivered the said letter, confirming thy news — Games left the copy of the dispatch, which he took at La Aconcagua, in the hands of the Governor of Mendoza. " The glorious war of our independence is, after eleven vears, thus finally terminated. 1' he im- mense and fertile territories which extended from the Rio de la Plata to the Orinoco are now inde- pendent in fact and in right, and there remain in them nothing more of tyranny, except its ruins.— Thev will be happy— for so the Great Being who governs the destiny of nations, and who, alter three centuries of opprobrium, oppression, and slavery, has looked with eyes of compassion on America, has decreed they shall be." ANOTHER IMPORTANT PIECE OF INTEL- LIGENCE " The same Games savs, that at the time of hia passage the troops which had left Mendoza against Can- era, were at nine leagues distance from their camp, and that af erwards the news reached him ou the road, that on the 24th of \ ugust he had been- I routed and obliged to flv with precipitation— that he himself saw the letter which the Commander- in- Chief had sent to La Rioja by way of precaution, lest I'arrera should take refuge in that town. " Far from us be barbarous despotism, folly, and licentious anarchy, in order that true liberty maybe established ou the first foundation of liberty and justice."

J They add, that faesh distentions had broke out among the Independents. In other parts of America, according to accoiinti contained in American papers, the caiise of inde- pendence appears to meet with the same success. Admiral Brion, Commander in Chief of the Co- lumbian naval forces, died at Curatoa, on the 27th of June. He was only in the 39th year of his age. As far as we can judge from these accounts, the Brazils will soon imitate the example of the Spa- nish colonies in throwing off the yoke of the mother countrv.

CoitACrtA, July 1,5.— His Excellency the Li- berator has given the name of Battalion of Carabo- j bo to the corps formerly distinguished by that of ; British Legion, and appointed William Davie as j Commander of the same, with the rank of Lieu- i tenant Colonel, and Bruim as Major. Many other British officers have also been promoted. LONDON, Nov. 17. Oil Wednesday, his Majesty held a Privy Coun- cil, at which the meeting of Parliament was further prorogued from the 29th instant to, we understand, tiie 3d day of January next, 1822. A proclamation was agreed upon to be issued for the circulation of a new coinage of farthings. Sir Hudson Lowe was presented to his Majesty upon his return from the government of St. Helena. Several new official seals were agreed upon. A Court of Common Council was held on Thurs- day at Guildhall The Lord Mayor took the chair at twelve o'clock. An address to his Majesty, on Ins safe arrival in these realms, after his visit to tho Continent, was moved and carried unanimously. The Court then proceeded to a motion of thanks to the late Lord Mayor, and other ordinary business. CITY \ DDR ESSES. Fridav the Lord Mayor, accompanied bv the late Lord Mayor, Sir W Curtis, Sir James Shaw, Sir C. Flower, Aldermen Birch, Atkins, Brown, Lucas, the Recorder, Sheriffs Garratt and Ve- nabk'S, the City Officers, and a great number of the Members of the Court of Common Council, proceeded from Guildhall to Carlton Palace, where they arrived about three o'clock. They were short- ly afterwards introduced to his Majesty, and pre- sented the following Addresses :— TO TIIE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. The Mumble and Dutiful Address of the Court of Lord Mayor and Aider men of the City of London. MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN! We your Majesty's duitful and loyal subjects, the Lord Mayor and Aldennen of the Cry of London, are anxious at the earliest possible opportunity to approach the Throne, and offer our most sincere and cordial congra- tulations on your Majesty's safe and happy arrival in your British dominions.

( Signed bv order of the Court.) • HENRY WOODTHORPE. His Majestv was graciously pleased to return the following Answer:— IT is with the greatest satisfaction that I receive your congratulations upon my safe return to my British do- minions. The sentiments of loyalty and affection with which I have b » . en greeted during my absence from this part of -: my kingdom were similsr to your own, and to those s which. I am fully persuaded, are entertained by all ranks and descriptions of my faithful subjects throughout the • nr. iire. The City of London may confidently rely upon my constant favour and protection, and I humbly trust that i gracious Providence will assist and prosper my earnest endeavours to promote the true interests and happiness of j were most graciously received, and had the honour to kiss his Majesty's hand. The King afterwards called the Lord Mayor to him, and very condescendingly and graciously apo- logised for detaining his Lordship, the Court of Aldermen, arid the Gentlemen of the Common Council, and observed, " I trust, my Lord, that the Corporation of the City of London will ex- cuse my detaining them. I much regret the cir- cumstance, and assure you that nothing but the most important and pressing business prevented me from receiving you exactly at the time ap- pointed." His Majesty also very graciously regretted that it had not been in his power to dine with the Cor- poration oti Lord Mayor's Day. The King gave audiences to the Earl of Liver- pool, the Marquis of Londonderry, VisCoiint Sid- niouth, the Marquis of Camden, and Admiral Youtig, who delivered to his Majesty the Grand Cross worn by the late Sir William Young. The Court broke up about six o'clock. jtty people. The Gentlemen of the Court of Common Coun- ' eir were then conducted into the Royal presence by J ihe City Remembrancer, and their dutiful and j Joval Address upon his Majesty's safe return to England was also read bv the Recorder as fol- lows :— TO TIIE Krxo's MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. The dutiful and loyal Address of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled. WOST ciiAcrors SGVEHEICN.

That ihe same gracious Providence which has protected your Majesty throughout your arduous journies, may still preserve \ ou longto reign in the hearts of your loyal and affectionate people, is the fervent prayer of your Majesty's faithful Citizens of London. Signed by order of Court, " HENRY WOODTHORPE. To which Address the King was graciously pleased to return the following Answer:— I receive wiih the utmost satisfaction this testimony of jour feelings upon my safe return to my native country. Highly gratified as I am by the sentiments of loyalty and affection which have been manifested in those parts of my dominions which 1 have recently visited, 1 am per- fectly convinced that the same spirit animates the Citizens of London, and all classes of my faithful people through- out the British dominions. You may be fully assured of my determination to main- tain inviolate all your rights and privileges, and of the ardent solicitude which I shall ever feel for your welfare and prosperity. The Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, Sheriffs, Mr. Oldham, Mr. Ex- Sheriff Williams, and the nume- rous assemblage of ihe Court of Common Council, It is not expected that liis Majesty will leave town for Brighton before Monday next. There is to be a splendid ball at the Pavilion at Brighton, at Christmas; after which the domestics of the Roval Household will be graciously permitted to invite their friends on different evenings, accor- ding to their rank. in the Court of King's Bench, on Wednesday, Mr. Scarlett moved for a criminalinformatiori against a person of the name of John Williams, the pro- prietor of a newspaper in the north of England, for a libel on the clergy of the diocese of Durham.— The libel referred to the death of the Queen, and complained that, although there were six chnrches in Durham, not a single bell had been tolled on the decease of her Majesty. From hence the writer of the paragraph argued the corruption and depravity of the clergy generally, but especially of the diocese of Durham, adding, that such being the undoubted fact, it was not to be wondered that the churches of the establishment were always vacant and as silent as their tombs. The Court granted the rule to show cause, after some consideration. Mary Ann Carlile was on Thursday brought up to receive judgment, for the publication of the Appendix to Paine's Theological Works. The sentence of the Court was, that she pay a fine to the Crown of five hundred pomnds, and be con- fined in Dorchester jail for the space of twelve ca- lendar months ; at the expiration of which she is to give security, herself in £ 1000, and two sureties in L' 500 each, for her future gooit behaviour.— The prisoner was immediately taken into custody bv the tipstaff. Miss Carlile's brother and her sis- ter- in- law are already confined in the same jail of Dorchester ALTERATION IN THE MAILS— The following is a copy of a letter received by the mail contractors of Newcastle :— " General Post Office, Nov. 9, 1821. " SIRS — On and after Monday tbe l£) lb inst. the mail is to leave York at half past eight ; the time to be allow- ed for working your stage from Durham to Nev castle, one hour and 45 minutes— from Newcastle to Morpeth, one hour and 40 minutes going north, and one hour and 45 minutes cubing south. On the same evening it will be dispatched from Edinburgh at nine ; and therefore you will have the goodness to order your horses to be in readiness. I am, Sirs," & c. By the new arrangements, the mail will leave London at eight o'clock in the evening, as here- tofore ; on the following night, at eight o'clock, it will reach York ; leave there at half- past eight, and arrive in Newcastle at half- past six the following morning ; breadfast, and set out for Edinburgh at seven. From the north, will leave Edinburgh at nine at night, the mail arrive at Newcastle at half- past one P. M. and leave at two o'clock for the south. Tyne Mercury. STEAM CARRIAGE.— Aningeniouscotton spin- ner of Ardwick, near Manchester, has invented a locomotive or steain carriage, for the conveyance of goods or passengers, without the aid of horses. After repeated experiments during the last two years, he has so far succeeded, we are informed, as not to leave a doubt of its answering the purpose intended. It will go upon any of the mail roads, up hill or down, at the rate of nine or ten miles an hour, and can be guided with case on the most difficult roads. CHEAP LIVING.— Old times have returned upon us. Ill our market, on Saturday last, roasting pigs were sold for Is. each; fine ones, Is. 6d. ; one wo- man exchanged a pig for a duck. At night, in the butcher market, legs of mutton were offered at 3d. per lb. ; and inferior parts might have been bought at 2d. and 2Ad. per lb. In the poultry market, fine living geese, weighing from lOIbs. to 12Ibs. went off at from 2s. to 3s. each— Carlisle Paper. ANECDOTE OF A SAILOR.— An honest tar, who had well lined his pockets with the spoils of the enemies of his country, ord red a huge gold ring. When the tradesman had finished it, he told him it was common to have a poesy engraved on it. " Very well," said the seaman, " what must it be ?"—" Any thing vou please," said the goldsmith. " Then," returned the other, " put on it—' When money's low the ring must go.'— This was done, and the honest son of the waves was so well pleased with the execution of the whole, that he ordered a mas- sive pair of silver buckles to be made, with rims nearly as broad as the edge of a two inch plank.— " And here," said he, " you may as well put a poesy on them also—" If that won't do, the buck- les too." It is mentioned by Mr. Cobbett that the cause of the Dutch butter being so much more mild flavoured than any other is, that the butter itself is never salted at all ; but that the milk is salted when it first comes from the cow. A quaker who had the command of a trading vessel had to encounter an enemy's lugger on his voyage. His principles forbade him to fight direct; he therefore resigned the command to the mate. In the course of the action, however, things did not go to his liking, and he addressed his mate in the fol- lowing terms :—" If thou meanest to beat the ene- my, friend, thou shouldst point thy guns a little more abaft." IRELAND. The Dublin Papers contain some melancholy de- tails of the progress of the disorganizitigsystem which has so long prevailed in the south of Ireland. Hopes were entertained that the energy and activity of the magistrates and gentlemen ofthe neighbouring coun- ties would have been able to protect them from the spirit of anarchy and disorder that reigns in the countv of Limerick. These hopes have been dis- appointed ; and there is reason to fear that the state of society in the county of Cork will be soon as dis- turbed as that of its neighbour. Several houses within its confines have been attacked by ruffians in search of arms, among which we find the house of Mr. Wrixon, the father of Mr. William Wrixoit Becher, the worthy Representative of the town of Mallow. It is now become a practice with the gentry to send away their arms to a place of safety, thus leaving their houses arid persons at the mercy of the depredators. Phis practice we deeply regret, as it was to the courage and activity of tin- resident gentry we looked for the most effectual means of restoring the country to tranquillity. It is fortunate, therefore, perhaps, that it has not answered t( ie purpose for which it was intended. Where arms are not to be found, the depredators demand money to buy them, and thus the absence of arms is no security against their nocturnal visits- These state- ments are collected from the local Newspapers, which acknowledge that they are sometimes imposed oti by false reports. We think it also necessary to add, that we have seen private letters from officers in the army, stationed in the disturbed districts, which speak more favourably of the state of the country. They attribute much of the prevailing discontent to the distress of the people, produced by the exaction of tithe- proctors and the excessively high rents, in which very little abatement has been made since the peace. To this opinion we strongly incline. The south of Ireland contributed chiefly to the supply ofthe provision trade dliriug the war, and consequently no part has suffered more bv its decline since the peace than the district in which the present disturbances prevail. DUBLIN, NOV. 15.— A Proclamation was issued by the Lord Lieutenant and Privy Council, on Tuesday the 14th inst. declaring— " That the Baronies of Duhallow, and Orrery and Kilmore, in the County of Cork, are in a state of disturbance, and require an extraordinary esta- blishment of Police." On the samedavanother Proclamation was issued, declaring— " That the Countv of the City of Limerick, the City ofLimerick, and the Liberties ofthe said Citv, are in a state of disturbance, ami require an extra- ordinary establishment of Police."

E. which conti- nued the whole of tbe night of Saturday, and the greater part of Sunday week, has, we lament lo state, occasion- ed a most deplorable loss of lives and property upon the western coast of this kingdom. No less than 15 vessels are ashore lietween Hartlepool and Seaton Carew, a dis- anceof only 3 miles; 4 are stranded at the mouth of the Tees; one vessel foundered off Bedcar with all hands; 6 are ashore near Sunderland, and 4 near Warkwordi — \ loug the coasts of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suff. dk. Essex, and Kent, much damage has also been sustained. . Newcastle, Nov. 10— Ninety- seven pipes of wine, five boxes of onions, and a small quantity of cork, h ive been saved from the Mary and Eliza, from Oporto, wrecked on the Rlackmiddings. The Wellington, Crawford, of Irvine, coal laden ; the Phtt'be, Cunningham, of Glasgow ; the Howe of Kin- j cardine. Crawford, laden with herrings, from Wick; and the Eliza, Potts, of and for Limerick, from Liver- pool, were driven on shore near Rutland, county of Donegal, during Ihe gale on the 4th inst. The former was totally wrecked. The rest were expected to be got off. Elsinore, Nov. 3.— It blew a heavy gale of wind since last night, which. still continues. A brig is driven on shore on the Swedish coast of the Sound. Littlehampton, Nov. 11.— The Iris. Bridges, from Scotland, - vas yesterday got off and towed into this har- bour, without - much damage. Her cargo was taken out, except about 13 tons of coals. NOV. 16.— The Egllam. Peters; and the Lord Cath- cart. Watson, both of London, arrived at Valparaiso 24th of June, detained by the Chilian squadron. Tbe Macedonian of Boston. Smith, from China, has been plundered at Arica, by Loid Cochrane, of about 100.000 dollars, and afterwards ordered out to sea, under command of a Lieutenant, for a breach of blockade. The Alexander, arrived at Holyhead from Miraniichi, spoke on the I6th ult, the brig Harriet of Montreal, which had been plundered off Cape Antonio, on 24th September, of 6000 dollars, and other valuables, by an insurgent privateer pirate. The Mary Ann, Mitchell, sailed from Workington, for Prince Edward's, about 29th August, and was fallen in wiih 5th September, by the Harrison and Tomb. She had lost her boats, bulwarks, sails, cabouse, & e. during a hurricane two days before, shifted her ballast, and been on her beam ends for 16 hours. The Harrison and Tomb supplied her with a boat and other articles. The Asia. Higgin, of Kincardine, for Limerick, and the Sussex. Richards, of Grangemouth, from Mirainichi to Liverpool, were driven on shore on the N. W coast of Donegal, the beginning of this month, the latter not expected to be got off. The Elizabeth, Shy. from Gotfenburgh to London, and the Clora Maria of Carlscroria ; ran foul of each other 21st ult. off the Naze of Norway, and it is feared the former foundered ; the latter was nearly a wreck, but. it is supposed got into Mandahl. STEAM VESSELS.— These vessels are now em- ployed in the Adriatic. One ( La Carolina) goes regularly every second dav from Venice to Trieste; another ( L'Erid » no passes regularly between Pavia and Venice, and with such celerity that the voyage is accomplished in 37 hours. Not long since a steam boat ventured to sea in a violent tempest, when no other vessel could, to the assistance of a richly freighted merchant ship. \ Dutch vessel, called the Herman, bound from Bourdeaux to Hamburgh, laden with wine and fruit, was wrecked on the night of Fridav last, on some rocks near Niton, in the Isle of Wight. The crew were happily saved, but the vessel is totally gone to pieces ; and out of 600 hogsheads of wine which were on board, only one dozen lias been saved. Rear- Adrniral Lord Colville arrived on Saturday morning at Portsmouth, and hoisted his flag in the Semiramis, Captain tluskisson, as Commander- in- Chief on the Irish station. His Lordship will sail, to assume his command, about Thursday next. The Phaeton will accompany the Semiramis to Cork. The Redwing sloop of war has been paid off at Plymouth nd is preparing for sea. The Hon. Captain Trefnsis is appointed to the command. The ship Alexander, Capt. Surffen, lately arriv- ed at Portsmouth in 72 days from the Mauritius, having left that island on the 27th August, and St. Helena, 2' 3th September, bound to Hamburgh.— The Menat, Capt F. Moresby, C. B. stationed at the Mauritius, was on a cruize to the Sechelles and Madagascar. The Shearwater, Captain Roberts, had sailed for the Cape. The Sir Stephen Lushing- ton was at St. Helena, and expected to proceed on her voyage on the 28th of September. The Eliza- beth, with his Majesty's 72d regiment on board, left - St. Helena with the Alexander. Admiral Lam- bert had left the island in the Vigo, 74, for the Cape of Good Hope and England. MORPETH, Nov.- 14. — The market was well sup- plied with Cattle and Sheep; being a great demand, fat met with ready sale ; prices much the same as last week — Beef from 4s 9d. to 5s. 6d. Mutton from 4s. 8d. to 5s. lOd. per stone, sinking offals. Glenluce Cattle Market was held on Friday last.— There was a very poor show of cattle. Good two year olds brought from 4l. to 61. a- hcad. No demand for in- feriors ; and there was no prime cattle in the market.— Prices for good beasts rather 011 the advance. The Mauchline Fair of Thursday se'ennight was re- markably dull. There was a good supply of cattle in the market, but 110 demand, excepting for cows newly calved, or near the calving, and queys Good milch cows brought from 81. to 121. a- head, being about 41 less than they have been sold at for some years. At what is termed the first Faultlbank Cattle Market, held at Ayr on Tuesday last, there was hutan indifferent shew of cattle, especially of those of a fat description, which sold readily and at fair prices. Few sales of the middling sort were effected, and scarcely any of the lean. Wintering beasts were little in demand, probably from fear of a scarcity of fodder, and a great many of them re- mained unsold. There were about 35 score of sheep and lambs iii the market.

Tile patent slip of Mr. Thomas Morton of Leith, erected at the port of Bo'nesss has been found, in every respect, to answer the purpose intended, and even to exceed the most sanguine expectations of Himself and the subscribers. The Juno, Captain J. Lyle, the largest class of Greenlandmen, 3.53 tons register, and believed . equal in weight to other mel> chantinen of fully 400 tons, was upon Monday 12tljj curt, taken up, to be repaired,, upon the slip, witH much facility, by 28 men, in lees than an hour and a half', from the entrance of the flood , gates of thq bason to the top of the slip, the station for the re- pair, when Mr. Morton received the hearty congra- tulations of the gentlemen and subscribers who werd/ present, amidst the cheers of the seamen, and of workmen employed. The patent slip is now found to surpass any drydock for convenience and econo- my ; the men employed Work with more comfort and with fully two hours' longer light than in a dock, and labour and expence are saved by the whole ma- terials required being brought easier to the slip's side, and the rates for the slip being verv consider- ably less than for a dry- dock. The Juno is the first vessel of her class ever attempted at this, or any other port, to be hauled up for repair, upon a slip with machinery, upan such approved principles ; and, from the central situation ofthe harbour of Bo'ness, easy access, and greater depth of water, the shipping interest ofthe port anticipate many ad- vantages. In the evening, the merchants and ship- owners of the port of Bo'ness, liset at Hamiltoit Arms Inn, and, over a bowl of punch, cordially ex- pressed their high satisfaction with the substantial execution of the work, persuaded, as all present; were of the attention and and ability of Mr. Morton during the progress of it— conviviality and cheerful- ness prevailed, and the pleasure of the party was heightened by the successful result of this most use- ful and ingenious invention. MR. MURRAY LATE OF THE CO VENT GARDEN THEATRE. This Gentleman, many years a most distinguish- ed favourite on the Covent Garden boards, died at Edinburgh on the 8th instant. He was the son of Sir John Murray, Bart, of Broughton, Secretary to Charles Edward the Pretender, in the rebellion of 1745, who, after the final ruin of the cause of his unfortunate master, retired to Cheshunt, in Hertfordshire where, in the year 17.54, the sub - jeet of this memoir was born. Charles, under the immediate guardianship ofhis father, received an ex- cellent classical education, and was at a proper sea- son sent into France to perfect himself : n the language of that country, a language which from his youngest days, he spoke with the correctness and lluency of the most accomplished native. Being designed by his friends for the medical profession,, he was, 011 his return to England, placed as a pupil with a London practitioner of eminence, and iiar- ing obtained a competent knowledge of pharmacy and surgery, entered into the sea service as a sur- geon, in which capacity he made several voyages—• Being tired of this service, he entered into an en- gagement with Mr T Wilkinson, and made his first appearance 011 the stage at York, in 1775, ill the charcter of Carlos in . he Top's Fortune, under the assumed name of Mr. Raymer. Thence he went to Norwich, and afterwards to Bath. At the death of the late Mr. Parpen, he enter- ed into an engagement with Mr. Harris at Covens' Garden Theatre, where lie appeared in 1797, in the part of Slit/ lock, 111 the Merchant of Venice. In characters of Sensibility and deep nathos, Mr. Murray has been unrivalled ; and in such parts ag Old \ orval, Lusignan, and 4uam, " we shall nevep look upon his like again." Mr. Murray has left a son and a daughter in the profession. The latter ( Mrs Henry Siddons) is highly distinguished as an actress, both in tragedy and in genteel comedy, and is tiie present proprie- tor of the Theatre Roval Edinburgh. Her brother, Mr. William Murray the acting manager of that respectable theatre, is also a great favourite in that metropolis.

COURT OF SESSION— Tuesday morning the Judges of the Court of Session, the Lord Advo- cate, and the Solicitor General, breakfasted, as is customary, with the Lord President, in his Cham- bers in Hill Street, and thence proceeded in their carriages to the Parliament House, to open the Session for the winter. The Outer House has un- dergone various improvements during the vacation, which add considerably to its grandeur. The two niches for the Lords Ordinary on the east side have had the addition of Gothic frame works, and the flooring has been new laid with tessalated wain- scot. Thursday, Francis Jeffrey, Esq. was, by the unanimous vote of the Nations, re- elected Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow for the en- suing year. On Friday the Rev. William Thomson, one of ministers ofthe Chapel of Ease in Glasgow, was elected, by the heritors and elders of Old Monkland, to be minister of that parish. Thursday week, the Presbytery of Paisley met in the Gaelic Chapel. Greenock, when the Rev. Angus M'Bean, . A. M. was solemnly ordained minister of that chapel. On Tuesday week, the first Associate congre- gation in Selkirk gave a very harmonious call ( almost unanimous, there being only thirteen votes for the other candidate), to the Rev. George Luwson, pre sentlv minister in Kilmarnock, and son of the late Rev. Dr. George Lawson, Professor of Divinity to the Associate Synod, their former pastor, to be their minister. The Rev. James Henderson, minis- ter in Galashiels, preached and presided on the oc- casion. At Dunoon, on Tuesday the 16th ult. the Rev. the Presbytery of Dunoon ordained and appointed Mr. David Eraser, preacher of the gospel, to be minister of the Chapel of Ease at Rothesay, to which he had been previously called by the unani- mous voice of the congregation of that chapel LONDON AND GLASGOW MAIL.— We under- stand that the following are the new arrangements : The coach which leaves London at el;> ht o'clock 111 the evening is to arrive at Glasgow at three quarters past eleven on the second night.

The shew of draught and riding horses, particularly the former, was large ; but sales were dull at the present low prices. There was lately erected at Birnie mill, about two and a half miles east from Brechin, by Mr. David Middleton, mili- wright, a set of sieves fop sifting oatmeal, which sift eight bolls per hour, and are superior to any thing of the kind erected in that quarter, as they are attended with little noise, and make both meal and seeds quite clean, without the assistance of fans, or anv other appendage whatever.

Aberdeen, Nov. 24, 1821. T of tLe Patriots. The'blockade of tlie place was main- tained bv Lord COCHRANE with much vigilance for a long time; and of late, we have heard of some remonstrances on the part of onr Commander in those seas, Sir THOMAS HARDY, as if his Lordship had exceeded the acknowledged laws of maritime blockade, and detained certain British vessels unwarrantably. The batteries of Callao were, however, found to lie too strong, for the weight of metal that Lord C. h^ l it in his power to bring against them ; and as unsuccessful efforts but served . to inspire the Royalists with hopes of successful resistance, the fleet of Chili had of late attempted nothing in the way of direct attack. The army of General SAU MARTIN, in the mean time, distressed the city, bv cutting off its supplies bv land, and as a pat. iotic party within the place waS continually gaining strength, it would have been folly oil the part of the Patriots to hurrv on opera- tions with loss, which at. a subsequent period must necessarily become easy and sale. The details of proceedings have not yet reached us, but the place is said to have been occupied by force of arms, al- though there can be no doubt that a majority of the inhabitants were well disposed to the cau- e of the Patriots— and as Lima was at no distant period said to be the richcst city in the world, the captors must have made a rich prize indeed. The consequences of this important place falling into the hands of the Patriots, must be of the highest importance to their cause in every point of view. From Lima the wealth of Peru was transmitted to old Spain, and the sea- port Callao afforded protection at all times to the ships of the mother country, and was consi- dered an impregnable depot for the merchandise and wealth of . Spanish subjects. That during thc pro- tracted hostilities the wealth of Lima may have lieen much reduced is more than probable ; but still, if taken possession of as is said bv force of arms, the value falling into the hands of the captors must be immense, and the loss to the Royalists such as must finally prove fatal to their cause. The fall ot the capital of Peru will render other conquests easv, for many places of inferior strength have been defended upon the presumption that Lima could hold out, until relief could be obtained from old Spain, when the blockade it was believed would be raised, and the squadron of Chili driven from the coast. As matters now stand, Lord COCHRANE is at liberty to employ that squadron in other quarters, reinforc- ed too by the ships of war so long shut up in tiie harbour of Cal'ao, and the supplies of warlike- stores of all kinds, must be much more than equal to the wants ofthe Patriots. A fleet however thev must corps lave been put in requisition in SR connt'cs of Armagh and Londonderry. Troops are still pro- ceeding from England to that unhappily disturbed country; but if the country Gentlemen of Ireland will not defend their houses and arms, as they gallantly did in 1797 and 1798, ' the consequences may prove disastrous indeed. A kind of guerrilla warfare mav distress and harrass the military, and occasion even serious loss ; and although the insurgents may he induced in many instances to betray one another, experience has taught the Government of Ireland, that the soldiers are not beyond the reach of corrup- tion. In a late number of the New Times, a letter lias appeared, under the signature of An Eye- witness, containing the most gross mis- s'atements concerning . . .... the conduct of NAFOLEON during his imprisonment at St. Helena, and towards his last moments. We should not be disposed to remark upon any state- ment proceeding from a source so polluted, were it not that Mr. O'MEARA has written a manlv ans- wer to the calumniator, which couvevs some new information deserving the public attention, and we shall therefore give his communication to the Morning Chronicle at length ill our next. It is too late to attempt NOW to represent NAPOLEON as a weak, irritable, and tyrannical creature, even too contemptible to be put in comparison with the Po- tentates composing the Iloly Alliance.

The Ladies, Ma- nagers, find, from personal observation, that many of their fellow creatures in this place, are suffering for want of warm clothing ; they, therefore, look to a generous Public, for their usual liberal aid, to enable them to continue and enlarge the work of charity, in which they are engaged."

It is too late for thc Spanish Cortes to talk of becoming parties in the South American war now, although they voted but lately, that shipsof war and troops should be sent out to that quarter. They must acknowledge the Independ- ence of the States, and ought, in sound policy, to cultivate a good understanding with them, so as to carry on commerce as the most favoured nation. The South American Revolution mav, in a com- mercial point of view, prove of great advantage to Europe, opening up new markets for our manufac- tures and produce ; and furnishing us in return with the productions, which were formerly taxed at the pleasure ofthe Spanish Government, at a much re- duced rate. The Portuguese part of South Ame- rica, in which it has been preposterously proposed to establish a half monarchical form of Government, it is believed, will follow the example ofthe Spa- nish- States, and perhajis agree to form part of the Union. We understand, that manufactures are going oil with activity, upon the presumption of a ready sale in the markets of South America. Wrights ij- Coopers...

THE < illtitiy i( L 11. . ill EN DEEM: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1821. £- 7- The Editor of the Aberdeen Chronicle, grateful for the highly respectable Patronage, which has so long enabled him ' to maintain the cause of Truth and Inde- pendence,- ibegs leave to inform his SUBSCRIHERS, that from the first day of December next, the Paper will be enlarged to the utmost limits that the law permits; so that, at the present important crisis, more extensive in- formation may be afforded concerning public affairs. In ti. aking the necessary arrangements a considerable ex- pcuce has been incurred, in consideration of which, he trusts it will not be thought unreasonable, that the Price Vie advanced to thai charged for every other Newspaper, Serenpance— when delivered in Town, £\ 10s, 6d. per Annum— mid £\ 12s. sent by Post. By the new Arrangements at. ihe Post Office. Subs- cribers in the North will receive their Papers in course of Post, in place of losing a day as formerly ; an advantage of no small importance, while the delivery to the South- ward continues as before. The EnixoR trusts it is unnecessary for him to make r. ew professions of Independence and Impartiality. When Recommenced his labotirs, not one Independent Newspaper was published in Scotland, and for several years be stood alone ; it- is not to be presumed that he will now desert his Post, when the Free Press of Scotland does honour to the Country, and casts a proud defiance 111 the teeth of the Faction that has so long been its disgrace. With regard to thc affairs of Old Spain, there can lie no doubt that designs have been formed hostile to the Constitution, and that those designs have been countenanced by the King, Nobles, and Priests. We gave in our last number an extract from a Spanish Journal, which proved the writer to be a steady friend to rational and good government by free representation ; but he must be aware of the personal character of FERDINAND— the spirit which prompts the . Nobility to servility to power, while they domineer over their vassals and inferiors in rank— and that the Clergy consider their influ- ence as in a great measure lost under a limited Mo- narchy. Ile'must know, that while the infamous MORILLO is at thc head of the army, the Patriots can have no confidence in its active co- operation in the cause of liberty, for he has it in his power to disorganize it whenever he sees fit; and when such men as RIEGO is deprived of command, the inten- tions of Government are sufficiently obvious. . In such a state of things, it would be vain for the Cortes to expect that the Sputh American Patri- ots will agree to remain their colonists, while the mother country is threatened with imminent dan- gers from within and from without; for that a Russian armament will at 110 distant period appear in the Mediterranean, is considered by well inform- ed men, as more than probable. It is possible, that the jarring policy of the Members of the Holy Alliance . may for a time prevent the execution of thc Empeior of Russia's plans ; but BOLIVAR and his compatriots are too wise to act upon such a possible contingency, and lose the present oppor- tunity of establishing an independent and free Re- public. The mortality from contagious fever, we are sorry to find, still continues in many parts of Spain, although the deaths at Barcelona ure not so numerous as at one time thev were.

Next day. thc padlock of the box, and two small account- books which we e in it, were found near the Wood- yards, Poynernook ; but we are sorry to say no discovery of ihe thieves has taken place. A few days previous, a gentleman's premises in this neighbourhood were entered in the night, and his larder emptied of its contents, a quantity of cheese car- ried off, as well as some valuable linens, servants clothes, and other articles, to which no clue has hitherto been found.

And among other vessels at Miramichi, since arrived in Britain, reports the Earl of Aberdeen, Ligert- wood, discharging ballast, and Concord, liae, arrived at jVIiramirhi. The following Aberdeen vess'els have arrived from America, after boisterous passages, generally of 30 to 33 days : -— At Liverpool.— Ceres, Raitt, from Quebec; Margaret, Aiken, and Mary. Mathieson. from Miramichi. At Belfast.— Monarch, Martin, and Rob Roy, Kenn, from Quebec. Itn the Downs.- Hearts of Oak, Robertson, from Quebec. The Patriot, Troup, passed through this Bay on Thurs- day last, ," 59 days from Miramichi, for Dundee. On Monday, the sloop Grace, M'Jrtlosh, of and for Leith, with wine, fruit, and cork, out. three weeks from Bourdeaux, was put in here leaky, and remains. Left the brigs Highlander and Douglas, of this place, the latter taking in ballast. The same day, an English Gentleman with his servant landed here, from the brig Mariner, Smith, of Sunder- land, from Onega to Leith ; reports that ou the 21st ! Sept. he came on board the Mariner, with two servants, from the Russian galliot Nicbolain, bound from Lapland to a port in the White Sea, on her passage to which, the vessel had struck on a reef of rocks, and became so leaky in consequence, that he feared the crew, who refused to leave her, must have suffered afterwards. The Mariner sailed from Onega about the 14th Sept. and was put into Norway in the violent gale of the 4th and aj^ inst. when this Gentleman reports having seen several vessels on that coast in distress, particularly an English Brig, which could not. bethinks, clear a dangerous ivefof rocks, so near which it was driven as to be engaged with the breakers. Mary Aim, Moore; at Quebec, from Aberdeen, 1 ' 2th October ; experienced very boisterous weather in the Gulf of St. Lawrenc^ ; spoke, on the 24ih September, in the Gulph, the ship Hyperion of Whitby, having spent the greater part of her sails— stfppiitd her with provisions'; also spoke the brig Thistle of Aberdeen, off Cape Cfoate, 18 days from Pictou : which vessel has since arrived at Quebec.

Melancholy Shipwreck.— On the 29th nit. the ship Lurk, of South Shields, . Tames Armstrong, master, from Si. Jehu's, Newfoundland, bound for Leith, with a cargo of timber, sprung 0 leak in fifty- seven degrees north latitude; the crew, thirteen in number, with five passengers, remained up the rigging eight days, during which four m « n died. They at length, in consequence of the vessel making ne » way, had recourse to the long boa', and were only able to secure a few potatoes, with a young pointer dog.; tiny remained six days at sea. during which two men died ; the crew and passengers survived three days on the dog.— Their provisions iieing at length about expended they- kept one of the corpses in the boat, wh? n providentially the sloop Sea Gull, of Lerwick, picked them up about 30 miles west of Sunburgh Ilcad, Shetland ( being nine of a crew and three passengers survivors), and brought them safe to Tobermory, Isle of Mull. It is much feaied that some of them will require to have their limbs amputated, being swollen and discoloured in a shocking manner.,— When the crew and passengers left the ship she was quite, entire, and. in all probability, she will come ashore on the west side of the coast of Ireland.

Eve a series of Galvanic experiments, of which, with their results, we subjoin the following brief account: — . The hotly was brought into the dissectiog- ro.. m, about an hour after suspension, and slill retained nearly its na- tural beat, ^ ummarji of politics. AF TER having been so long tantalized with premature accounts of the fall of LIMA, the Capi- tal of Peru, we have at length the pleasure of as- suring our readers, that it really is in the possession The state of Ireland is still such as to excite strong apprehensions of an intended general insurrection. Arms are still the object of those who plunder houses in the night— and if it be discovered, that the arms usually kept in the house have been removed to some military safeguard, a sovereign is exacted for every vessel, it would have been impossible to have got her into any other place of safety. A boat from Rattray Head brought her opposite the North Harbour, about ten, and with the. assistance of boats, and warps, and the people on The upper part of the Spinal Cord* and the S the shore, she was got into the New North Harbour about Sciatic Nerve were immediately laid bare, and a Galvanic 12 noon, beiug nearly two hours after high water, and Aic was then established, by applying the positive wire j was safely moored alongside the Quay, to the Spin, 1 and the negative to the Sciatic Nerve, when a general convulsive starting of the body was produced. Another communication was then made between the Spine and the Ulnar Nerve, and considerable contractions took place in the arm and fore- arm. When the circle was formed with the Spine and Kadial Nerve, both at the elbow and wrist successively, powerful contractions of the muscles of the whole arm and hand were produced. The hand was closed wiih such violence, as to resist the ex- ertions of one of the assistants to keep it open. When a connection was established between the Radial Nerve and th Supra and Infra Orbital Nerves, strong contractions of the muscles of the brow, face, and mouth, were pro- duced, so as to affict the under jaw, and to distort the countenance in a very singular manner. The eye- lids were strongly contracted • and when the wire was applied direSctly to i'.. e ball- ctfihe eye, the Iris contracted and diluted very sensibly. A Galvanic circle being formed, first between the Par Vagnni and Diaphragm, and then between that muscle and the great sympathetic, little ob- vious effect was pioduced. After applying Galvanism directly to the nerves above- mentioned, the skin ofthe face was moistened with water, and upon running the wire over different parfs of it, similar effects were pro- duced in the muscles of the face, as by direct communi- cation tniide with the nerves. The tongue also moved in all directions, by touching the surface with the Galvanic wire. The whole experiments were performed in about an hour and a quarter, when the heat of the body was considerably diminished. A powerful Galvanic appara- tus ( consisting of about 300 pair of plates,) was used ; but. from not being insulated, a considerable quantity of the Galvanism escaped, so that every metallic substance about the table was highly charged.

These vessels were able to get into the Harbour, and to he afloat at. low water of tveap tides. It has been resorted to by vessels wind- bound on their passage to the northward, and to such, it has proved of great advantage, as tli*? y can sail into it with the greatest ease at any time of the tide, re- main afloat, and sail out again the moment the wind be- comes favourable, a facility hitherto lie ver experienced in any Harbour upon the coast. From the state ofthe Hope of Leith. it seems very doubtful, had it not been for the Nmv North Harbour, whether the vesselcbuki have been saved. It will be found | of great advantage to vessels that may sustain damage in the North Seas, and take shelter in this Harbour, that they will have the benefit of a Graving Dock now almost finished, and which will be found equal, if not superior, to any in Scotland, having been excavated out of the solid rock, being of large dimensions, and built of the best materials. The damage sustained by vessels, every season on the the dangerous rocks of Rattray Head, Rattray Brigs, and Scotstown, is so extensive, that it becomes a matter of the greatest importance to adopt measures to prevent, or lessen it. It would be found on investigation, that the cause of these misfortunes is. that when a vessel has got a sight of ; Kinnaird's Head Light, she then shapes her course to sea- ward, until she has run so far as to suppose that she has cleared Ilattray Head, and Rattray Brigs, and then altering her course for Buchatiness, it often happen that, owing to the slate of the tides, and the little progress the vessel has made, she is driven upon these fatal. rocks,— Were a Light House built on Bnchanness, it would be impossible that so many disastrous shipwrecks could hap- pen ; as were ships, after passing Kinnaird's Light,- to keep upon a course sea- ward, until they came in sight of the Light House upon Buchanness, they would to a cer- tainty clear Rattray Head ; and thus, more property would be saved in one year, than the ex pence of erecting a Light House. It is, therefore, to lie confidently expected, that the Honourable the- Commissioners of Northern Lights, who. have done so much for the preservation of trading vessels, will not longer overlook a situation of so much importance to a part of the sea coast, more frequented bv Uikling vessels than must others in the island. rosrscit / PY; LONDON, Nov. SO ( The Gazette " of Saturday evening presents a verv dis* tressing commentary upon the assertions and representa- tions which have recently appeared in the Ministerial Pa- pers respecting the flourishing state of our * rade, com- merce, and manufactures. It contains a list of not fewer than thirty- one bankruptcies j not limited to one or two places, or to one or two kinds of business, but extending- over every part of the country, and embracing persons en- gaged in various branches of national industry. We do not recollect to have for a considerable length of time seei* so formidable a list, it may be a symptom of a greater prcs- sure upon the industry ofthe country than bad been sup- posed to exist. From the Dublin P: ipors, it appears that the local police, aided by a large military force, has failed in arrest- ing the progress of the disturbances which distract a large portion of the south of Ireland. The Roman Catholic Clergy, we are glad to find, have in this extremity com ® forward in the county of Limerick, and several of then* are represented as indefatigable in their exertions to con- vince the deluded peasantry of the folly and wickedness' of their conduct. In . addition to the means already em- ployed, Government, it is said, have resolved to avail themselves of the services of the yeomanry in the north of Ireland. We regret, however to find, that even that in- dUsurious and peaceful part of Irelaud is not without a por- tion of discontent. . Letters,. from Amsterdam announce the failure of an extensive mercantile house in that city, for a very large amount. It is stated that several houses at Paris are deeply involved.
