The King of Persia, it is said, has been recently converted to Christianity by the arguments of the celebrated Missionary, Mr. Martin. Sucb a con- version must have an important effect in spreading the light of the Gospel through regions of darkness, ignorance, and idolatry. The house of Mr. Inglis, whose melancholy death has excited great interest in the City, will, | we understand, shew on its books property to the amount of one million sterling ; there are, however, heavy demands against it; one house in the City has a demand of £ 70,000. DISTRESS IN IRELAND.— A Report of the J London Committee for the Relief of Irish Distress, ! has been published, from which it appears that the •! labours of the Committee are brought to a close, ; and that the objects for which they have so indefati- I gably exerted ihemselves are. happily accomplished, I or at least nearly so. The Report contains, besides extracts of a letter form the Agents appointed to traverse the distressed districts, a farewell Address from the Committee to their 44 Irish Brethren." The Agents describe some traits of character, which shew that the lower classes of Irish, neglected as they have ever been, and systematically oppressed as they have been in too many instances, still retain qualities of mind, and heart that would invite a humane Legis- lator, or an enlightened Statesman, to undertake their improvement. We observe with pleasure, that the relief which has been afforded has produced a strong sense of gratitude towards this country, which is exemplified iu the following extract :— 44 The last act at night, and the first iu the morning, of thou- sands of individuals, who have been saved from famishing, is an invocation for 4 blessings on the generous English. 1"— The hutnaue people of this country will rejoice to learn, that, their contributions for the relief of their suffering fellow subjects, have accomplished that purpose. The Report from the Agent at Cork shews that the object has been fuily attained in that populous county ; and the communi- cations to the Committee from other parts declare that the same results may be expected from the means of relief that are designed for their use. In consequence of this gratifying information, the Lon- don Committee have published a most affecting Address to the people of the late distressed districts, which wiil complete those favourable and grateful impressions which have been made upon their minds by the pecuniary aid they have received from this country. 12yio.. 12mo..

ILL the course of the present Circuits in Ireland the Judges, in their charges to the Grand Juries in the southern part of the island, expatiated upon the growing practice of arresting strangers as vagrants. This practice was illegal- and inhospi- table, for inquiry should be made into lhe motives and causes of Ihe appearance of such strangers, whose visit did not necessarily imply in itself any crime. Those strangers only should be treated as vagrants who appeared as paupers, and refused to earn their bread by honest industry and labour.

ROAD MAKING,— The fourth Report of the Holyhead Roads Committee, just printed by order of the House of Commons, gives the following Recipe of the " art and mystery" uf ROAD- MAKING : Is'— To complete the business of lifting the Road, so as to gain the proper form, and gel out of il all large stones. 2( 1— To make the whole brea< S'b of eighteen feet in the middle of the Road of sufficient strength, by digging out the earth, an€ putting on thick layers of broken stones; and also to stromgthen the sides. 3d— To drill the ruts wilh stones broken very small, as fast as they appear, never suffering a rut, to get more than two inches deep without filling it. 4th— To have all the heaps of road materials piled on the earth banks, that are outside the boundary line of the Road when formed to thirty feet in breadth, with proper side drains. 5th— To keep the drains which are formed by the angle of the slope of the Road, and the side of the fence or footpath, which are called the side drains, at all times free from dirt ; so that the water may pass along them without being forced over the sur- face of the Road. 6th— To secure a sufficient stock of well. prepared materials before the commencement of every winter; so that all ruts may be filled as fast ns they appear. , 7th— To remove all banks of earth or road drift, all hedges and other fences, and all trees that in tlie smallest degree prevent the sun from shining on the road, or obstruct the free circulation of the air. FATAL ACCIDENT.— On Saturday night, about 11 o'clock, the Hercules steam- boat, belonging to Glasgow, on her way from Greenock to Campbell- j town, when off Greenock, unfortunately came in contact with, and run down, a boat or wherry filled with poor people from the Highlands, on I their way to the southern districts to labour during j the harvest. Out of 45 persons on board the boat, only five escaped a watery grave, and one of these, a woman, was token up in such an exhausted state, that she is since dead. One of the four unfortu- nate survivors, a man, has to mourn the loss of his wife, two daughters, and a son, by this fatal catas- trophe. The steam- boat had out lights, and also a proper watch, who repeatedly bailed the wherry; but owing to some fatal inadvertence, or probably from not understanding English, the unfortunate boat continued her course till escape was impossible. FEAT IN SWIMMING.— ON Saturday afternoon last, about five o'clock, and about, the time of high water, Mr. Claude, of this town, swam across the Mersey, from George's Pier to Woodside, a distance of nearly a mile, in 29 minutes : he immediately returned across the river, and reached the Old Quay Pier ( a similar distauce) in 40 minutes, being the first instance known of any person accomplishing such a task. He swam again from tlie shore with the intention of dressing himself in a boar, in the middle of the river; but being sufficiently vigorous, he crossed the river a third tiuie, aud landed ai Sea combe Point, a distance of considerably more than a mile, in 46 minutes, after having been immersed in the water nearly two hours. On returning to Liver- pool in a boat, he assisted in rowing.— Liverpool Mercury. One of those very rare birds, Ch. aradri. us fliriiantopus, or Stilt Plover, was shot ou the 6th ultimo, at Hasey's, in the eastern part of Norfolk; it has been carefully preserved, and is now in the collection of Sir Charles Blois, Bart. Cockfield Hall. White, in his History of Seiborne, gives a badly executed engraving, bur. a very correct, description", of this elegant, though almost uniiaturalty propor- tioned bird ; its body is not quite so large as that of ihe common Pee- Wit, but its leg, which is extremely slender, and of a beautiful salmon colour, including the naked part of the thigh, measures nearly nine inches in length. Bewick mentions that it is common in Egypt, whence it migrates in the autumn : it is often seen on the shores of the Caspian Sea, and is known at Madras, It has « peculiar melodious note or call,, CAUTION TO INSOLVENT DEBTORS.— At the Glamorganshire Sessions, held last week at Neath, the discharge of Wm. Thomas, late of Tredegar, shopkeeper, an Insolvent Debtor, was opposed by- Mr. Gregory, solicitor, of Bristol, on behalf of several respectable creditors, upon the ground of the Insolvent's having secreted his effects to a considerable value, and after a full investigation of the case, which occupied nearly five hours, the Court sentenced the Insolvent lo two years* imprisonment. On Monday, a Major Tyler, cf the army, wai remanded, by the Insolvent Debtors* Court, for eight months, having contracted debts without any reasonable expectation of paying them. EXECUTION.— On Friday last Joseph Birkett, aged 35 ( who, together with an accomplice named George Barton, was convicted at the last Assizes for a highway robbery at Caistor, on the 29th of March last, on the person of John Twigg, in the service of Mr. Clarke, of Market Rasen, whom they robbed of a £ 1 note, a half crown piece, his great coat, and otber articles), was executed at Lincoln. The poor man said nothing before he was hanged, except44 Farewell!" he was scarcely sensible of his situation— apparently in a perfect stupor. A. J. Spence, convicted at the Kent Assizes, under Lord Eilenborough's Act, for shooting at i Lieut. Graham, of the Coast Blockade Service, was executed on Friday, at Dover. He met his fate with a fortitude which astonished every beholder. Until the night previous he slept remarkably well, and ate heartily. On that night he was very restless, rosea number of times, and at live o'clock eat a hearty breakfast. It was believed that I inwardly he was truly penitent, although he was ! rather reserved on the subject for which he suffered. EXECUTION.— On Friday were executed at I Northampton, Wm. Meadows, IVm. Gent, and | R. Middleton, for having ravished and otherwise dreadfully ill- used Ann Newman, of Bozeat, a ! young girl of unimpeachable conduct. They were . all married men, with families. Two youths, one ; only 17 and the other 19 years , of age, were ! condemned to death as parties with the above men, I and another, only 18, was acquitted. Wilts Assizes.— ELECTION EXPENSES — | Boord, gent. v. Renett, Esq... This action washrought ' by the plaintiff, a respectable solicitor of Bath, ; against John Benett, Esq. one of the Representatives for the County of Wilts in Parliament, to recover the j sum of £ 197 as a remuneration for services dope during the election of 1819, and for monies disbursed on that account.— Mr. Grant, ( for Mr. Benett,) said he was willing to refer the bill for examination, and the amount tbat should he decided Mr. Boord ought ; to receive, should be paid immediatelyMr. Ser- | geant Pell said, that bis client would sustain a great loss even though a verdict should be given for every farthing which he claimed, and he never would advise him to refer it, by which means he would have to pay double costs ; but even now he woiYld gladly acceptauy liberal offer thai might be made him, and save the public exposureof the case. The learned serjeant then went into the details of the case: Mr. Boord', be said, possessed as good ; i character as any gentleman in the kingdom ; and it beiug the interest of the parties to obtain professional agents of respect- ability, ou account of the influence they might be supposed to have with the freeholders, Mr. Boord was applied to by Mr. Tinney, who was Mr. Benett's principal agent, for his assistance; that assistance he actively rendered ; the time of himself and his clerks were entirely occupied on behalf of Mr. Benett; but from that time to this, he has not only never beeu paid a single farthing for those services, but the money which be actually paid out of his pocket has never been reimbursed him.— Mr. E. Bush, of Trow- bridge, one of Mr. Benett's agents during the elec- tion, proved that he waited on Mr. Boord iu Bafh, on the7th of July, aud solicited his assistance on behalf of Mr. Benett ; but not at Mr. Tinney's request.— Johu Stourion, clerk to Mr. Boord, proved his having been actively engaged in canvassing- for Mr. Beneti from the 9tii of July, to ihe 4th or 5th of August. Witness further deposed to the correctness of the whole charge in Plaintiff's hill.— ill r. Tin tie v deposed as to his having engaged the services of Mr. Boord, on behalf of Mr. BeiuMt.— Several witnesses were called to prove the exertions Mr. Boord had made, and caused to be made, in his endeavours to secure votes for the defendant. Mr. Grant addressed the jury for the defendant. The learned counsel could safely assert, that Mr. Benett was willing this moment to pay Mr. Boord most liberally for his services, and if he ( Mr. Grant) advised that the whole of the bill ought to he paid, every farthing would be paid immediately ; but he could not, consistently with his duty, give such advice; for, Without disputing iu the least the re « . spectability of Mr. Boord's character, lie ( Wrist say that the charges were high aud enormous ; and if every professional gentleman were to charge at the same rate, and Mr. Benett should be compelled to pay it, it would be the utter ruin of himself and his family To shew the nature of the service, lie would mention an item iu ihe bill.— 4'* It having been re presented ( says Mr. Boord,) that there were several freeholders resident in the neighbourhood of Bristol, not canvassed," he takes upon himself to send two of his clerks to Bristol its neighbourhood, and all that these two clerks are said to have done ou this dayf was to wait on the gamekeeper of Sir Hrigh Smith, who declined coming to the poll ; and for ibis piece of service 3 guineas are charged, and £ 1. 13s. for coach hire ; £ 4. 16s. iu the whole, for waiting on a poor gamekeeper. In another part of the bill was a lumping charge of £ 14. 14s. for two days'work for Mr. Boord and bis four clerks. There was also a very curious charge of 5 guineas, for tavern expen^ eaj 4k for which no account could be kept;" aud another charge of 5 guineas u for drawing out a long narra. tive of proceedings for Mr Hart, the high constable of Bradford." In conclusion, said the leafned coun. sel, while I call on you to protect your representa- tive, I wish you to give Mr Boord every full, fair, and liberal compensation for bis services. The learned Judge, in summing up, said there could be no doubt but that Mr. Boord vvas regularly retained, and that his services commenced ou the 9th of July, and did not terminate'-' until the 4th of August— 27 days; aud in his opinion the nature of those services authorised him to call iu the assistance of his clerks, for whose time, as well as that of bis own, he was entitled to he paid. It had beeu proved that three guineas a day vvas the regular payment to a professional gpntleniiiu on those occasion*; which, • multiplied by 27, made £ 85. ,5s. With regard fo the charge of a guinea a day for each of the clerks, they had no evidence to prove that lhat was a fair and ro- souable charge — the clerks, however, said liiHt it was;— and if they were entitled to this guinea far each of the days they were employed, it would amount to £ 56,4$.; but that was a question for the consideration of the Jury. The amount of tavern hills proved to he paid Was £ 8. Is. 2d.; and chaistf hire £ 3 6s. fid. As to the last item iu i! ie bill, a charge of 5 guineas for drawing a narrative of pro- ceedings for the high constable of Bradford : of what service that was to Mr. Benett had not been proved, and ought not to be allowed ; nor the 5 guineas for expenses, of which no account was kepf. It had been observed tbat Mr. Boord ought not io have extended his services to Bristol, ns¥ from Mr. Tiuuey's letter, he was retained only for Bath and its neighbourhood. In this he agreed, for although an agent ought not 10 be too narrowly circumscrib- ed iu his spheie of action, and should not be blamed for sending his clerk where lie knew a vote bud been unsolicited, yet certainly there was no occasion for \ Ir. Boord to have sent his clerks to Bristol, where other agents of Mr. BeneU's were engaged. On ( he whole, he left it. to the Jury, who, after a few miuutes, returned a verdict for tbe plauitiff-— damage* £ 140. LON DON— SATO RD AY. The Duke of Wellington arrived last night at Apsley House, and will this day dine with the Earl of Liverpool at Coom. be Wood. His Grace set out from Brussels to England, the moment intelligence of the death of the Marquis of Londonderry reached ban. The few articles of intelligence which the Paris Papers contain, relate chiefly to the warfare between the Turks and the Greeks; . and though the details are trilling in themselves, they are im- portant as far as they prove, that the latter con- tinue to combat with vigour and activity for eman- cipation.

We hftve in our 4t! i page given a narrative of the death of this distinguished Statesman, accom- panied by a brief memoir of his political life, and sketches of his public and private character ; the whole of which are extracted from Papers usually opposed to the measures of Government, or from publications- considered independent of any political Party. Having done this, it is unnecessary for us to add, that we give credit to the generality of the Opposition Papers, for the euloginms they have most of them bestowed upon his Lordship's charac- ter. Few public men were pursued through their political career with more personal rancour than this lamented Statesman. Even the Old Times 11 ov tells us, that the benignity of his Lordship's nature, a.* well as the history of all the other parts of his life, forbid them to believe that the Irish Government with Lord Castlereagh as its Secretary, had any connection in tlie cruelties alleged to have been .. unmitced in effecting the Irish Union. But why this tardy homage to the virtues of the de- DEATTI OF SIR. SAM it EL A UCHKUT v.— Ex- tract of a letter :— 44 Dublin, August 12.— It is with sincere sorrow I announce to you the sudden death of Sir Samuel Auchmuty by a fall from his horse, while riding yesterday in the Phoenix Park with Colonel Thornton, it is suspected that he was subject lo fits, and that having been seized with one, befell from his horse. He was carricd to the Royal Hospital, but without any signs of life— he was dead. Sir Samuel Auchmuty suc- ceeded Gen. Baird as head of the staff in Ireland, the office of Commander- in- Chief, held by Sir David, having been abolished. This lamented hero was one of the most gallant and distinguished officers in the service. He was equally esteemed and beloved in professional and private life. He Mnj- chmont iterald gave three knocks, when the Chamberlain appeared and inquired his commands j upon which the Herald begged of him to inform the Right Honourable the Lord Provost' and- Magistrates, that his Majesty the King had arrived, arid desired to be admitted into the city. The Chamberlain hav- ing made his report to his Lordship, the Usher of the White Rod and the Heralds were allowed to enter, whereupon the Marchmont. Herald presented himself before the Lord Provost and Magistrates assembled, and requested admittance for his Majesty, antl suite. The Lord Provost having assented, the barrier was immediately thrown open amidst the cheers of the spectators. -# " Wheu the royal carriage had entered the barrier, the Lord Provost, attended hy the Magistrates, ad- vanced, presented the keys of ihe city; and addressed his Majesty in suitable terms. During the speech was Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, and Colonel j ofthe Provost, the King continued standing, and only .. i.- .. — J— rru" Ireg'led bis hands on the side, of the carrjag- e; on'the conclusion, he lifted the keys with his right hand, and again dropping them on the cushion, replied;-- 4> 1 return you the keys of this your good city, in the fullest confidence lhat they cannot be intrusted to better hands, than to those of the Lord Provost and Magistrates of Edinburgh." 44 The Magistrates bowed and retired to their car- r'ages, and proceeded to their station in the procession. The following was the route now pursued along Picardy- pUice, York- place, the east side of St. of the 78th regiment of Foot. - The East Indies and South America were the principal scenes of his j military exploits."

It was here | T T ceased, and this honourable testimony to historic truth : why were these things never acknowledged by this Pr'e. ss before ; why were the uninformed left to be misled and maddened by the atrocities of political slanderers: and more than all, what shall we think of ourselves if the lesson do not sink deep into our hearts, and make us exceedingly distrustful of most of the tales we? hear, derogatory to the characters of living public men 1 It is only at their death ( even if then) that we are permitted to hear of their innocence and virtues ! We now cony the following tribute to the eminent qualities of this great Statesman, from the Neiv T'nnc- s— a Paper distinguished alike for its loyalty , and its morality, and for its general open and manly support of the present Administration : ... , 4* When. we find within the course of a very few years, no less than three eminently gifted Members of the British Senate, sty- tick, in the most high and |> a'my state of their faculties, with a sudden and in- stantaneous blight of reason, and driven, by au almost, momentary lit of insanity, to the unconscious net of self- destruction, we cannot but tremble at the frail tenur& » f those brilliant talents, which seem to form the most genuine and dignifietlohjects of human prid<?. It is needless to dispute on the gradations by which Hie Noble Marquis, who now lies cold in death, ascended to his two- fold distinction as a Diplomatist mid a Debater; or to notice the censures, which may have been passed on him in each of those characters; , for it is enough to say, that in the House of Commons he was considered to discharge with extraordinary fact aud effect the difficult . office of a Parliamentary leader; and throughout the. Continent of Europe he was looked up to as one of the ablest negotiators of the age. If we look to personal honours, which, j though an ingenuous mind will perhaps rank them below the acquirements of talent and experience, are yet justly classed among the enviable distinctions of social life, how richly was his Lordship endowed with these splendid gifts of fortune ! To Iris own . merits was probably owing the last elevation in the : Peerage conferred ou his noble father, and transmit- j ted to himself Decorated with the highest do- j rneslic and many foreign orders, a Cabinet Minister, and a personal favourite of the most gracious of ! Sovereigns, it was scarcely possible for him to desire any new title, or outward claim to the reverence of i his fellow- citizens. His personal appearance and de- portment were well suited to his other distinctions ; i but lie had better claims to any we have yet. mention- I ed,-— to that, peace of mind. which one would have j thought must for ever have shielded him from the dire calamity to which he fell a victim. Of high honour,. fearless, undaunted, and firm in his resolves, ; he combined in a remarkable manner, with the for liter in re, the suaviter in modo. To his political adversaries ( and be had no other) he was at once open, frank, unassuming, and consequently conciliating. Seldom was his temper ruffled, or his self- possession disturbed. He was happy in his union with a most amiable consort ; he was the pride of a venerated father; and towards a beloved brother, it might truly be said, he was notus animi fraterni. To his ! friends he was grateful for service, and firm in at- tachment ; to his tenants and other dependants he was liberal and kind ; to the poor charitable and beneficent ; to all, without distinction, candid, gen- erous, and humane. 44 Such a mau must have been regarded ( and in- deed, the Noble Marquis was so by all who knew him) as the last person in the world to yield to nervous weakness, to lowness. of spirits, or debility of mind. Nor was there any thing in the present conjuncture of affairs to call forth apprehension. 4 He fell not in the battle, 4 No tempest gave the shock.' The same man, who, amid the terrors of insurrection and treason, the fears of invasion, the mighty triumphs of an implacable enemy, and the arduous negotiations for the re- establishment of social order iu Europe, had stood fearlessly and proudly erect, 4 With Atlantean shoulders fit to bear ' The weight of mightiest Monarchies/ This same man, in a time of calm and quietness, in the flower of his age, and with uo prospect before him but that of continued and growing felicity, has been struck to the earth by a disorder as lamentable as it was unexpected, fhe accumulated effect of long years of toil, operating by slow, but certain degrees, has developed itself in an instant, and the intellectual frame has fallen into ruins before any one could suspect that it was undermined. So frail ' is the edifice of human happiness here belowAnd these great and awful lessons are from time to time held out lo us— not that we should undervalue the mighty obligations which we owe to the great men of our age; uot that we ourselves, should slacken our course in the path of public duty ; but that we should know, and feel, that lhe true object of all our exertions here is placed in another and a better state of existence." There are various reports with respect to the succession to the late Marquis of Londonderry's j office and duties. Mr. Peel, it is said, will manage ] in the House of Commons ; and the Duke of ( Wellington, Lord Harrowbv, and Sir Charles Stuart, are each mentioned as likely to attend the continental congress. But until the King's plea- sure is known, of course nothing can be ascertained upon thi » subject, or as to who succeeds him in the Foreign Office. It has been officially communicated to the house- • hold of the late Marquis, that he has left a will, made some time ago, wherein he has made provision for every person on his establishment; even to the lowest helper in his stables ; a circumstance per- fectly in unison with the whole teuour of his pri- vate life. After his last interview with his Majesty, the Duke of Wellington followed his Majesty into his Cabinet, wheu the King is reported to have said to him, " Wellington, what's the matter with Lon- donderry? Either he is mad, or I am." It was after th'is that the Duke of Wellington wrote to Dr. Bankhead the letter to which the Coroner alluded. So much was- the Marquis. of Londonderry's frame shaken on Friday, the 9th inst. that, the official n documents which he wrote and subscribed while in town, were scarcely legible to those daily accustomed to bis hand- writing. The letters were straggling, • and evidently traced hy a tremulous enfeebled pen, • which made the manuscript appear to be that ofs a decrepit worn- out old man ; whereas his Lordship's writing was remarkable for its neatness. With the - further progress and triumph' of the disease qie Public are but too well acquainted. 1 The ceremony of interment will- not take place until Tuesday, and the lying in state will be alto- gether dispensed with. The body will be removed in a private hearse,, in the night of Monday, to the house in St: Jiiiites's- squiire, and thence the funeral procession will set'forward for Westminster Abbey at eight o'clock on Tuesday morning. Many of the Nobility liUve'strVit notice: of their intention to follow in the procession .— The body will be interred by the side of Mr. Pitt. fttfltfeats'* tyvogxiM. The Royal yacht, together with the squadron accompanying her, arrived in Berwick- on- Tweed harbour early on Tuesday morning last. On Monday night, ihe squadron, on passing that port, encountered a smart gale. The ships, however, ventured to go onwards : but it coming on to blow extremely fresh, it was denied prudent by the Commodore to put about, and to make tbe best of his way back to that harbour.". The squadron remained there the whole of the day; but his Majesty did not land. This unexpected occurrence caused great bustle in fhe town and neighbourhood and great delight to the inhabitants, who flocked from all quarters, and embarked in boats, to have the pleasure of seeing their Sovereign. During the King's voyage all along the coast, the most enthusiastic affection prevailed among all ranks of people. Whenever the squadron approached near enough to any town or village, every boat put off with well dressed visitors to salute his Majesly ; in many instances the Royal George was completely surrounded and beset by boat loads of people eager to shew their attachment. The King, iu his usual kind manner, returned by bows and smiles the joyous greetings of his visitors.— At Scarborough, the Mayor in Ins robes, with the Corporation, put off in a boat wilh an Address to his Majesty, but as the Royal George was going along vvith great velocity, the Address was obliged to be handed up alongside, attached to the end of a long stick. The circumstance caused great merriment among the. sailors. » His Majesty anchored in Le. it h Roads'on Wednes- day afternoon, amid the thundering of cannon from ships in the roads and from the batteries and heights around Ihe city, and the cheers of thousands of spectators who embarked in pleasure vessels of every description. Tbe landing, however, did not take place on that day., on account of the very uu'ayourab e slate of the ' weather.— An immense multitude of persons proceeded in boats, to . the royal yacht, in the course of the afternoon, and his Majesty was graciously pleased to greet them from the deck of the vessel. Mzmtif* $ udUt Entrance into I2tmifmrgl> We have received EDINBURGH PAPERS of Friday, from which we extract the following par- ticulars relative to the ceremonial attending His Majesty's Public Entrance into the Scottish Capital : — 44 The Royal squadron, when moored in the roads, was found to consist of the Royal George and Prince Regent yachts, the Phaeton frigate, Egeria sloop of war, and Cameleon and Calliope tenders to the royal yacht; and, in addition to the Admiralty and Trinity yachts, his Majesty is accompanied by the following Members of the Royal Yachi Club:— The Hon. Mr. Pelham, in his ship the Falcon ; Sir William Curtis, in his yawl Die Jonge Vrow Rebecca Maria ; Mr. Bacon,, in his schooner the llussar; and Mr. Smith, in his cutter the Orion. " The most interesting visit paid to the Royal squadron on Wednesday, was the mission of Sir Walter Scott, who conveyed to his Majesty an elegant Silver Cross, as a tribute from the Ladies of Edin- burgh. Sir Walter proceeded out lo the squadron in a barge provided for the occasion, and having been received on board the Royal George, was ushered into the presence.— Sir Walter Scott then presented the Cross, which his Majesty most graciously receiv- ed, and expressed his intention to wear it in public. 44 It had been generally understood that his Majesty would disembark at Leith, and proceed in state to Holyrood palace, at twelve o'clock yesterday ; but, to remove all uncertainty on the subject, au Extra- ordinary Gazette to that effect was issued in the course of Wednesday. Upon this understanding, and the weather proving auspicious, a large portion of tie Inhabitants of Edinburgh unhoused themselves be- times yesterday morning and advanced iu the direction of Leith, taking up such stations on the line of procession, as they considered most convenient for witnessing the promised pageant. 44 The persons composing the procession were stationed in Qureii- streef, very nearly according to the orders contained in the Edinburgh Gazette Extraordinary of the 10th iust, omitting the Peers, which was done in consequence of an order contained in a subsequent gazette. The Scots Greys kept the ground, to prevent any crowd from interrupting the regular formation of the profession, by their anxiety to witness it. Very soon after the train was adjusted, it began to move in the prescribed order towards Leith. 44 On the platform at Leith. ready to receive the King, were assembled the Duke of Dorset, the Earl of Fife, dressed as a Spanish Grandee, the Marquis of Lothian, the Earl of Cathcart, Lord Charles Paget; the Presidents of the Supreme Courts, viz. the Lord Chief Baron, the Lord Justice Clerk, Lord President, the Lord Chief Commissioner— all in their robes of office, and attended by their respective macers; the Lord Clerk Register, kc. & t\ 44 At twelve o'clock precisely, a gun from the Royal yacht announced that the King had entered his barge. 13is Majesty was no sooner under weigh, than the ships and forts proclaimed the circumstance by the thunder of their salutes, and the populace testified their satisfaction by their cheers. In less than a quarter of au hour afterwards, the Royal Barge en- tered the port of Leith. The shouts of the people, which had become still the louder as his Majesty ap- proached the harbour, now broke out in the strongest note of acclamation. The King frequently acknow- ledged their cheers, by taking off his hat, and bowing to all around.— His Majesty was dressed either iu the Windsor uniform, or in that of a British Admiral of Ihe Fleet-— blue, with red facings ; and he wore a gold laced naval cocked hat, in which was a sprig of the thistle aud the heather. His Majesty also wore his insignia of a Knigbtof the Thistle. Onhis Ma- jesty's right sat the Marquis. of Conyngham, and on his left a naval officer of distinction. The harbour and roads were coveradwith pleasure barges and boats of air descriptions, filled with well dressed ladies and gentlemen ; and the display of streamers and flags, with which every vessel was decorated, greatly beautified the scene. His Majesty looked rather pale and dejected, and was assisted out of the barge b v the officers in attend- ance orj him. At the bottom of the ladder his Majesty was received by the Marquis of Lothian, who knelt aud congratulated his Majesty on landing. Leaning on the Marquisses of Lothian and Conyngham, his Majesty then ascended the ladder, and walked across the path assigned him, his way being previously strewed with flower?, accompanied by the Duke of Dorset, Mr. Secretary Peel, and Lord Paget. On his way he noticed the Earl of Elgin, who commanded the Archers, with whom he cordially shook hands. He was then conducted to bis carriage ; the Duke of Dorset and Sir Charles Paget took their stations on the Opposite seat. His Majesty was stationary iu his carriage for about five minutes^ and appeared to be greatly affected with the enthusiastic loyalty and animated delight of the myriads of spectators around the quay.— The cavalcade'then moved forwards, and fell in with the procession,^ which proceeded through Bernard- street, and Constitution- street. The Royal Company of Archers attended on each side of his Majesty's carriage, and the Glengarry Highlanders on the outside of thein. Proceeding, up LeithWalk, his Majesty approach- ed the barrier aboutone o'clock. Here the Magistrates Of Edinburgh " were waiting to present to his Majesty the keys of the city. The Usher of the White Rod", accompanied by the two senior Heralds, having pre- ceded the procession, arrived at the City Barrier. that a prospect opened to tbe view of the royal party, such as no imagination could have supplied ; it burst on the senses, therefore, with all the freshness of; originality, and yet with all the force which it could i receive from intellectual association. Throughout j the progress of the procession, his Majesty had he- i held crowds of well dressed persons of every con- ! dition iu life, anxious to show their respect for the j Throne in the manner which best consisted with the i Scottish character. If uo extravagant enthusiasm j marked, by its disorderly bellowing and strife, the j progress of tile King, yet was there nothing wanting which decorum could not dispense with, any more j than there* appeared those evidences of - phrenzy j which reason would not tolerate. The in^ ii cheered j and waved their hats ; the women displayed silk I flags and handkerchiefs, and welcomed the monarch j with their smiles,— His Majesty was pleased at' times lo acknowledge these attentions by taking off , his hat and bowing to his subjects. But there remain- 1 ed one scene calculated to take the admiration of any j man by surprise, for it applied immediately to the mind and to the heart. The members of the proces- s- on were now movingabru,. tiy on the view. of Calton- hill, on the steep and summit. of which it seemed as though the population of a hundred c ties were seated. How is it possible to describe the appea - ance ? The hill at first might have been likened to a military cocked- hat— a gravel walk intersecting the foidsj and the Nelson's Monument serving as a feather. But the contemplation of the beholder • would not long have entertained so frivolous a sug- gestion of the fancy. As the King advanced, the hill of heads was perceived to move ; and behold it was alive, and it spoke. The cap and feather were now flung away for ever. The heads were uncovered, and the nearer they were approached, tfie more strongly did they indicate in their bold fronts the possession of an" active and discriminating intelli- gence.— His Majestv, whose countenance had pre- sented a Sorrowful, dejected, arid with all a meditative aspect during the day ( most probably owing to the death of bis Minister)? became lighted;;:;]-* UIv^ unyre agreeable emotions atthesight of lhat which vve have so feebly described ; and we even feared lest the fair ladies of Waterloo- place should in consequence come off wilh less of that royal notice and regard for which they evidently toiled with so much perseverance. * 4 The procession moved slowly along the New- road and down the Abbey- hill, and at a quarter before two, his Majesty alighied within the Palace of his Scottish ancestors. The event was immediately a inotinced by royal salutes frotn tbeArtiil ry stationed on Calfon- hill, and the Salisbury- crags, and also from the Castle. The Royal carriage was received at Holyrood, by a number of noblemen and gentle- men, and at the gate was posted a detachment of Celts, and six household servants of the King. On reaching the Abbey, the other squadrons and bodies which formed the pro . i'ssion marched through on the north side to the Kings Park. The guard of honour was composed of the flank companies of the regi- ments in the Castle. < 4 Shortly after arriving at the Palace, bis Majesty pro eeded to the Audience Chain her ; and being seated noon the Throne, and surrounded by the Officers of State, the Lord Provost apd Council were introduced, when his Majesty received tiieiv Ad- dress of Congrat ulation, anil returned ' 4 most gracious answer. 44 His Majesty left the Palace for Dalkeith, ncort- ed by a detachment of Scots Greys, a little after three o'clock ; and as he stepped into his carriage he called Lord Lyndoch to him, and expressed, in the hearingof many individuals, the great satisfaction he had experienced that day, and stated that he had never been more gratified in his life- time, particu- larly with the admirable arrangements of the Magistracy, and the orderly conduct of ihe people. 44 Notwithstanding the extent of the procession, and the immense concourse of persons, tar exceed- ing any thing ever remembered here, 110 serious accident is yet known to have occurred. 44 The appearance and the feeling upon this occasion was worthy of Scotland and her august visitor; for never was a place better adapted for the display of a splendid spectacle, and never were the demonstrations of joy aiid satisfaction, and the very achme of delight, more conspicuous than in our countrymen. " His Majesty's coming to the Pier at Leith was waited for with that breathless expectation, and that sufl usiou of the face, which indicate more . truly how much the heart is affected than by all the clamours of the voice. - When we consider the dense musses which crowded the Piers of Leith, and'the windows ofthe houses adjoining, and reflect upon the circumstance of' the novelty of tbe spect- acle, we cannot but admire the calm solemnity with which they waited till the vessel which bore his Majesty touched the shore; and then, when the foot of the Monarch pressed the; land, the . instant- aneous burst of applause and waving of liats and handkerchiefs, mingled with reiterated shouts of 44 welcome," were not more general than they were sincere. • .. < 44 When again his Majesty had received the keys of Edinburgh from the Lord Provost, and taken possesion of the ancient city, the joy of the populace and the satisfaction of bis Majesty were equally apparent. As he moved along he bowed to the people, who answered him with cheers and when he came to the top of St. Andrew's- street,- and saw the dense mass of his subjects, which filled the street to the Regent Bridge, and yet more which hung on the rocks under Nelson's Monument, lie completely caught the enthusiasm which the sight vvascalculated to inspire. Heejaculated, 44 good God," pulled off" his hat, waved it and cheered; no sight could indeed have been finer than that of the people oil Callon- I j 111. They were absolutely countless in number, they were well dressed, and with all theirenthvtsiasm, they were most orderly, 44 In the evening there was a very spJ^^ id- fc^ hihi- tion of fire- works, which were dichargeu from the east side of Charlotte- square. The coast of Fife was also illuminated hy bonfires lighted on the adjacent Lomond hills. 44 At Dalkeith palace ( the seat of the Duke of Bnccleugh), his Majesty had a select party to dine with him, consisting principally of the great officers of the household, with three or four other distinguish- ed personages. He arrived from Edinburgh at half past three o'clock, in a close carriage, and a guard of honour lined the streets as he passed along. His Majesty is expected to hold his first Levee on Saturday."

" LONDON, AUG. 9. 1822. " DEAR SIR,— I called upon you with the inten- tion of talking to you about Lord Londonderry, and of requesting- you would call upon hiin. He pro- mised me that he wonld send for you, but least he should not, I entreat you to find some pretence for g- oing down to him. " I entertain np doubt that he is very . unwell. It appears that he has been over- worked during the Session ; and that his mind is overpowered for the moment, and labours under a delusion. I state the I impression made upon me in the interview I have just had with him. I told him that this was my impression ; and I think it is his own, and he will But least he I should not, I tell you what I think ; begging you never to mention to any body what I have told you. ; " I am setting out this moment for the Nether- lands. I would have staid with Lord Londonderry, but he would not allow me. I shall be very much obliged to you, if you will write me a line, and have it left at my house, to let me know how you fiud him; and particularly if you think I am mistaken.

Drayton.— On Saturday, the 3d inst. Drayton was the seat of great festivity and rejoicing, on account of the birth of a son aud heir to the House of Tunstall. This event was cele- brated by the friends of Peter Broughton, Esq. with a degree of spirit and sincerity highly creditable to their feeling's. The morning was ushered iu by the merry pealing of the bells; bonfires, and sheep roasting, were followed by a judicious distribution of the mutton among the poor with a profuse quan- tity of bread and ale. And in the evening an elegant repast was served up to a large party of the inhabitants at the Talbot Inn, which, by their unanimity and cordiality, was prolonged to a late hour. Alter the toasts, " The King," " Tho. Duke of York, and the Army," aad " Duke of Clarence, and the Navy," had been drank, the Chairman arose, and gave " Health, long- life, and happi- ness to the Heir of the House of Tunstall, and may lie inherit the generous spirit and distinguished liberality that so conspicuously mark the character of his Father;" 3 times 3.— His highly respected grandfather, the Rev. Peter Strey Broughton, as also Peter Broughton, Esq. the father, were next - iven ; and were received and drank with the reatest enthusiasm. Similar rejoicings were oil the same day carricd forward at Almington, in the neighbourhood of Tunstall, under the superintendence of the Rev. Mr. Broughton's tenantry ; where a dance, added to their other amusements, contributed greatly to the hilarity of the evening. On the Monday evening following, this happy event was celebrated at Tnnstall. A party of nearly 200, consisting principally of tenantry and trades- men, were sumptuously regaled by the munificence of the reverend grandfather.— Cards and dancing ere introduced ; and nothing was wanting to create and insure the most perfect mirth, concord, and harmony.

POSTSCRIPT. LONDON, Monday Night, August 19. We lay before our readers to- day the particulars of His Majesty's entry into Ediuburgh. It must have been a grand and imposing spectacle, and one which derived no inconsiderable portion of its effect from the local peculiarities of the town, as well as from tile picturesque dresses of many of the military bodies appointed to escort the King. .. The hilarity of the scene, however, was somewhat diminished by the melancholy intelligence of the Marquis of Londonderry's death ; for it was evi- dent to every one, that [ lis Majesty could not • wholly withdraw his thoughts from the sad catas- trophe. The intelligence reached Edinburgh about two o'clock, and Mr Peel lost no time in commu- nicating it to the Kinc, who received it with the strongest emotions. A select party which was to have dined with him that day, was immediately put off, and only three or four individual had that honour, among whom were Mr, Peel amd Lord Melville. WAXES. BIRTH.

MARKET HERALD. SHREWSBURY. In onr Market, 011 Saturday last, the price of Hides was 4d. per lb— Calf Skins 61I— Tallow 3d. Very little business was done in our Corn market 011 Saturday, in conscquence of the Farmers being busy in their harvest.— There were several samples of New Wheat, which sold from 6s. 6d. to 6s. 10d., and one we have heard at 7s. At our Fair 011 Tuesday and Wednesday last, there was but a middling supply of Fal Cattle, but a pretty good one of Sheep— Fat Cattle averaged 4^ d. per lb. and had a ready sale; other kind of Callle sold better than last Fair. Fat Sheep averaged 4d.; and large Pigs fully supported their prices, but small ones were rather lower.— Cheese : Prime 42s. to 52s.; Inferior 30s. to 40s. per cwt. Butter, a large supply, and all sold. Tubs 8d. to 8^ d. Bacon 4fd. Hams 5^ d. There was a con- siderable quantity of Wool, and nearly all was sold :— Coarse 12s. fid. to. ] 6s. per stone; Fine 17s. to 22s ; Lambs' Wool lOd. to 16d. per lb. CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 19. From the unprecedented accumulation of arrivals, nnd the comparative sniallness of the demand, the Wheat trade is depressed beyond all former example, and what sales were made to- day of New were at an abatement of full 4s. per quarter from the prices of this day se'nnigbt; aud'although that of last year's growth was offered at an equal reduction, there were no buyers to be found for it. Oats are ls. per quar- ter lower, anil extremely dull sale at that decline. In Barley, Beans, and Peas there was no alteration.

We have alway professed to be warm supporters of whatever w think calculated fbr the improvement Of the mind or that would be useful to the rising generation it was this feeling which induced us to point out to the notice of our readers the merit with which w consider the Collection now open in the Town Hall abounds, and we are happy that every one who has seen it is fully alive to the same feeling : the room, ever since the Exhibition arrived, has been ( particularly in the evening) crowded, to excess; so much so that many have been compelled to pay another visit, having been unable on their first entrance to view the Figures. Weare glad of this, as it evinces a desire on the part of onr fellow- townsman to give encouragement to Exhibitions possessing sterling merit ; and our fair friends nave not been slow in evincing their admiration, as some of our first families have been to view this matchless work of one of. their own sex— we say matchless, for when we consider that it is attended with frequent re- models, it is really a matter of surprise that the Figures can be removed without injury ; and we believe they have astonished every- one who has seen them. It will be observed that this week is announced as the last week of exhibi- tion : but we doubt not that the brilliant encou- ragement which the Collection continues to receive, will induce the Artist to remain same time longer.

Trial and Conviction of Lewis Owen, for a desperate Attempt to commit Robbery and Murder on the Holy, head Road, North Wales — The trial of Ihis culprit exciled a strong- degree of interest in ihe Prinripalilvt an attempt of the kind was without precedent ami the county nf Carnarvon had witnessed no execution for the space of more than 20 venrs. Under such circumstances, Ihe hall of the court was crowded at an early hour, and il was with much difficulty the Judges could preserve order during ihe necessary arrangements for the commencement of the trial At nine o'clock precisely the court sat, nnd afler the Jury had been sworn, none of whom were challenoed by llie prisoner, the Altorney General addressed them, in a circumstantial detail of ihe prominent fealures of the case, observing, that " the case ilself happily for the county, was without example - nnd although it was marked by a degree of atr'ncilv equal, if nn! exceeding any thing of the kind whijh bis professional practice bad furnished, jet it was a consolation lo reflect, that Ihe activity and vigilance which bail been used in arresting tbe prisoner together wilh the probability of his fate, would leave nn impression sufficiently d'eep nud memorable to prevent any repetition of the crime." ' Thomas Sturdy, the first witness, deposed, tbat he is a supervisor of excise, residing at Conway ; that on the 24th of April lasl, he was travelling'nn horse- hack towards Bnngor, from Capel Cerrig ; that about two miles beyond the second turnpike he was met bv the prisoner, at the hour of half- past three o clock in the day, and coining on the near side of his horse, he laid hold of ihe bridle, presenting st the same time a pistol to his breast, and demanding his money, with a threat he would blow his braiils out if he refused ; that upon Ihis he dismounted, und not complying immediately with the demand, the robber fired and shot liiin in the arm ; that he llien offered him 3s. 6d. all the silver he had about him which the robber refused, declaring that " he must have all or none," and repealing, in violent terms Ins threat of immediate death, if he refused. Mr! Sturdy still contended against the demand, when the robber fired his second pistol, the hall from which passed through his hat and coat. On ibis Mr. Sturdy resolved to act on llie defensive and attempted to knock down the robber, but the'latter closing on hiin got him down, and finding him ex- hausted, left hiin on ihc ground, and instantly mounted his horse, wilh which, and a pair of saddle, bags, he rode awnv, taking the road towards Deul high, after passing the two next turnpikes, at one of which he threatened to shoot the keeper, if he did not instantly let him pass. The next' witness was William Prichard, who deposed that he was but a short distance from the foregoing scene when it passed; that afler the first shot was fired, Ihe robber turned towards him afler Mr. Sturdy had called to him for assistance, but not liking tiie danger of standing before a pistol, be rail away, about five roods, as he called it ( measuring about 40 yards), and afler he had o-„ t to a safe distance, he saw the pistol fired, and the robber ridin- on with Mr. Sturdy's horse. n William Thomas deposed to Ihe robber's passion- the turnpike- gale, mounted 011 Mr. Sturdy's horse"- lhat he followed Ihe robber to Denbigh, with sino- nlar speed and perseverance, and having obtained assist- ance, arrested him at the Swan Inn, wilh Mr Sturdy's horse. Edward Williams deposed assisting Wm Thorn ™ in the arrest, and taking the pistols from the robber which he produced, and they appeared to have been re- charged with powder and ball. Alderman Hughes, of Denbigh, deposed to the taking the examinations of William Tl and t'ie prisoner confessing that the whole was true ad- mitting his guilt. ' Mr. Titley, of Llanrwst, a surgeon, deposed to extracting the ball from Mr. Sturdy's arm, which he produced. This evidence constituted Ihe case, upon which the Chief Justice charged the Jury in a perspicuous and able exposition of facts; observing, that a clear and consistent chain of evidence had been established against Ihe prisoner, which left no doubt of his emit ; but if ihey could see the case differently they wonld give him tbe benefit of such doubt.

THE OXFORD CIRCUIT terminated at Glouces- ter on Saturday Inst; at tfhieh place j prisoner for horsestealing, and 5 for burglary, were capitally con- victed; 6 were sentenced to be transported ; 8 were sentenced to various periods of imprisonment; and 2 were fined Is. each, and discharged. A case at. Nisi Prius, which excited great interest ot Cheltenham, came on for trial on Friday, viz. lhat of The Rev. James Stovin, D. D. and Eleanor his Wife versus Lady Shuckburgh. The defendant was charged with defamation, in having stated to Mrs. Marshall, wife of the Master of the Ceremonies at Cheltenham, that the plaintiffs were dangerous cha- racters; that they bat! written- anonymous letters of an infamous nature, by which the character of two ladies had been destroyed ; and that she wondered they conid ha ve the assurance to come sonear to Bath Cheltenham was— Mr. Puller, counsel for the plaintiffs, enumerated other instances of the circula- tion of the slander hy tbe defendant, and concluded a very eloquent address by stating that the plaintiffs " ad denied on oath the imputation against them., hy affidavits made with a view to an application to the Court of King's Bench for a criminal information, and he called upon the Jury to give such damages as would mark the sense they entertained of so serious an imputation cast on the characters of his clients.— Mrs. Marshall haying been examined, an4 deposed to tbe facts above stated, tylr. Baron Garrow suggested that some arrangement of the affair might take place, and Mr, Jervis, for the defendant, offered an apology, whirl) was finally determined upon as follows: Mr. Jervis having read to me that part of the affidavit of Dr. and Mrs. Stovin, in which each of them have deposed tbat they, or either of them, were not, nor was, directly or indirectly, concerned in or privy to the writing or circulating the said anony- mous letters therein referred to, nnd that they or either of thein had not at the time, when the investi- gation therein- mentioned took place, nor have thev or eillier of them nt this present time, the slightest knowledge either of the authors or distributors of the said letters,— I do hereby voluntarily declare, that I believe the said affidavit to be true; lhat the said affidavit has completely removed from my mind the suspicionswhich I entertained tbat the said Dr. or l\! rs. Stovin, orsome of their family, had eiilier written or circulated the said letters ; and I declare myself sorry for having published those suspicions. ( Signed,) C. C. SHDCKBURCH." This apology was accepted, aud a Juror was with- drawn. At thc late Hereford Assizes John Brown, a young man of respectable Connexions, was indicted for horsestealing. Tbe trial lasted six hours, and excited considerable interest. The prosecutor's Counsel stated, that the prisoner, at the Hereford May Fair, purchased a mare, the property ofa Mr. Purchas, for £ 20 ; and under a pretence of showing ber to his mistress, who was at an inn, not far distant, he got upon the mare and rode off without returning. A number of witnesses were produced on the part of the prosecution,- who swore to tbe identity of the Drisoner ; but this evidence was invalidated by the prisoner's witnesses, who proved the prosecutor bad mistaken the person of the prisoner; and that, in point of fact, be was, at the time of committing the supposed felony, in the parish of Coddington, n distance of 17 miles from Hereford After an examination of 12 out of 27 witnesses, which the prisoner had in Court, Mr. Baron Garrow stopped the prisoner's Counsel from calling further testimony, und told them that be thought the jury were satisfied, and that he should sum up the evidence already given. Upon which the jury observed, they hod long made up their minds as to the prisoner's innocence, and did not require his Lordship to recapitulate the evidence. His Lordship then addressed the prisoner, inti- mating that he was perfectly satisfied tbe prose, ention was without the smallest foundation; aud that he was greatly indebted to his Counsel for their very able conduct in his defence, which had pro- bably saved an innocent man from an ignominous end. He hoped, therefore, that he should return into society without tbe smallest blemish on his character from that day's inquiry. The jury instantly returned a verdict of Arot Guilty.— Coim'sel for the prosecution, Messrs Cross and Ryan ; Attornies, Messrs Harris nnd Smith, of Hereford.

BTTEACII OF PAOSNSE OF MARRIAGE— At the Hereford Assizes, Mr. David Thomas sought com- pensation in damages, against Miss Hannah Jones for breach of promise of marriage. The parties reside ill Cardiganshire.— Mr. TAUWTOIJstated that it was cer- tainly rather an unusual circumstance li , i e oWtle- man should linveto present himself as a plaintiff upon such an occasion, because, to the honour of the ladies i_ engagements of this sort they were generf'ly faithful, but nn Ihis occasion the plaintiff had t. i complain of an extremely serious injrtry— not merely lo his feelings, bill also in consequence' of fhe hidv'V caprice having put him to considerable espense'in preparing for that happy event which at one time lie unquestionably contemplated ; that the defendant. Miss Hannah Joiiei had not to urge in her excuse the levity nud inconsistency of youth, because she had attained to full years of discretion, haying arrived at the mature age of 46 ; had it happened, that his client had be en guilty of that fickleness, it Would have been matter of complaint on Ihe part of his learned friend probably, that he hail showrttliut sort of levity which young | MTSOIIS sometimes indulge io, he beino- but 38 years of age. The Learned Gentleman then pin. ceedtd to relate various circumstances lending lo shew lhat the plaintiff had tlte strongest rensou's tot believing the defendant intended lo bestow her hand upon him, amongst which were the alteration an'd re- pairs of his house, carried on'. at her suggestion nil. I part of the expense of which she defrayed- Ihe granting, at her entreaty, n lease of a pl. it of ground, near his mansion, for the purpose of bnildiiw- mf Anabaptist Chapel, she being of that persuasion ; and also her accompanying liiui to an attorney to give instructions for a settlement to he made upon ihe marriage, lie then called witnesses, who proved th- facts ahove stated, repeated promises of mai rin..: c a formal invitation, on ihe part of the plaintiff ' iir Feb ruary, 1821, to the defendant to come and be married, upon his finding she wished lo break off Ihe match, which invitation she declined accept mi- declaring that she never would have him for her husband ; and concluded by calling upon thc Jury in give his client such damages as wonld compensate him forthe injury he had experienced from ihe fickle and insincere conduct of Miss Jones. Mr. CAMPBEI. L, for Ihc defendant, spoke in miligation of damages' contending that the action Was untenable nnd ridicu- lous, and that it were belter for the Plaintiff to wear the willow, and be considered nn unfortunate wooer,- than be pointed at ns a person who wanted to inveio- le an old woman into the trammels of matrimony for " lie sake of her fortune, and when he failed in that, wish- ed to gel it by the verdict of a Jurv. lie fell confident Ihe expenses to which the Plaintiff hud been put in preparing for the wedding could onlv be given as damages, tbe amount of which had not been in any way proved, and he therefore trusted that Ihc Jury would scud the Plaintiff hack with a light pocket, lo try his fortune wilh the fair, if he chose, again. Mr. Justice Bayley then summed tip the case, and the Jury, agreeable to ihe recommendation of the learned Judge, awarded lo the Plaintiff one hundred pounds, to re- i in burse lo him the expenses be had incurred iii preparing for ihe Wedding. WARWICK ASSIZES.— The business of these Assizes terminated on the 12th inst. Fourteen prisoners were capitally convicted, and received sentence of death, but ihev were all reprieved — Among the causes at Nisi Prius was tbe following • DOVE v. COLLIER . — /•' or a Breach n} Promise of Marriage.— The parties in tbis action reside at Shipston. upon- Stour. After a consultation between the opposing Couusel, their attornies, and the parties, a vordict was taken for the plaintiff damages £ 700, subject to the awnr.! of Mr. llolbech' who is to hear and determine the dispute between them. The costs, as well as tho Chancery suit to abide the event of his decision. I LC tt EST ER GAOL — Mr. Bridle, the late gaofer of Ilehester, was nn Thursday tried al Wells, upon an information filed against " him bv the Ait'ornev- General. This is the person with whose alleged transgressions; in office, the notorious Hunt has filled a pretty thick octavo volume, and about whom pa thetic speeches have been made in ihe House nf Commons that would, at least, fill another. The offences laid in the information were, however but two in number, and of the first, which was infinitely the gravest charge ( cruelty to a female prisnner nnd her infant), Mr Bridle was acquitted. The second charge, namely, that of apply ing a blister to the head of a refractory prisoner named Gardiner as a punishment, was," on Ihe other hand, clerirly proved, nnd upon this the Jury found him Guilty, but ai the same time reconiniended him to merer, in consideration of a host of most respectable testimony who gave the accused an admirable character.— It appeared in evidence that Gardiner was a worthy who had been early matriculated in iniquity, had taken degrees in most of ihe gaols in Ihe west of England, established himself for many years as a professional " liver upon the cross," committed six or seven burglaries, had been convicted of one, aiid sentenced to be hanged, been pardoned, ami again accused of thc same crime; this ndept in guilt t, f every kind became the guest of Mr. Bridle, and in the prison he distinguished himself by insolence and outrage; his damning, blaspheming, and foul lan- guage, were so offensive, that men dreaded to ap. " proaeh him ; &. lie justifies these terrors by more solid grounds, for be slabs one fellow prisoner with a knife and robs another.— Nol knowing how to coerce this prisoner in nnv other way, Mr. Bridle adopted the certainly illegal method of applying a blister to his head, aiid for this he was of course found Guilty— but, in returning this verdict, the Jury wereevidently of opinion, ns were all persons present at llie trial that the offence of Mr. Bridle was only to be con- " deinned oo legal grounds, and that, in iin equitable point of view, die prisoner Gardiner had not received ail adequate punishment from Mr. Bridle for the outrages he had committed personally againsl him in prison.— Tbe Judge said, he should attend to the recommendation of the Jury in passing sentence unon Mr Bridle. 1 EXECUTION— On Friday last Rachaet I d- wards, of PontvpootWmiid guilty of thc murder of her husband, by administering arsenic to him in milk ( in order tbat she might more freely indulge in a criminal connection she had formed), underwent the last dreadful sentence of the law nt M iinioutb in the presence of an immense concourse of people' Convicted of a crime at the enormity of which human nature shudders, it is a great consolation to nnd that she paid due attention to tbe exhortations of the learned Judge in passing sentence, and that her behaviour since condemnation was most ex emplary. The Rev. Chaplain of the prison, assisted by two other Clergymen of the Established Church, was indefatigable in his endeavours to prepare her for the awful change she was about to undergo and witnessed the happy fruits of his sedulous attentions in the sincere penitence she manifested, and the candour with which she confessed her guilt aud the justice of her sentence. Previous to her execution she caused an admonitory paper to be circulated cautioning others to take warning by her sad example, and earnestly beseeching them never to neglect their religious duties. She continued to pray most fervently till the last fatal moment, Robert Peat, the unhappy culprit, who was left for execution nt Durham, for the murder of an aged man, bis relation, in order prematurely to gi t at bis little property, on Friday last forfeited his life, in the presence of an immense assemblage of spectators. On his trial, he pourtrayed no symp. toms of irresolution; but at the placeofexectilion although he maintained much firmness, his general demeanour was very visibly altered, and he appeared to be sensibly impressed with thc awful situation in which he stood. Bv an Act of Parliament recently passed, per- sons giving alms to beggars are liable to be bound over to prosecute the object;! of their bounty. On Saturday the police of Birmingham succeeded in apprehending, at his house in St. Mary? s- row, in that town, tVitHam Asprcu, at the moment l: c was actually engaged in coining sixpences. In the cellar in which he was found at work, a quantity of blanks, several pair of dies for half crowns, s'hih. lings, and sixpences; n milling press, and other apparatus necessary for his illegal manufacture, were discovered and taken possession of by the officers. His wife and mother, who were iii the house at the lime, were also taken into custody James Phillips, living in Barr- slreet, Ashted.' has been likewise apprehended on suspicion of heinc concerned with the other parties; aud upon his premises were found a quantity of blanks and uf silver used for colouring, and a cntting- out press. They are now all safely lodged in prison, wher^ they await examination. The party, and their occupation, we understand, have long been sus- pected by Ihe police officers. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.— Tuesday evening last as Mr. George, farrier of Tenbury, was on his return home from the Clce Hills, upon a spirited horse, he was thrown from the saddle, and his foot hanging in the stirrup be was dragged nearly half it mile, and when taken up was quite dead. The deceased was 40 years of age, and has left 6 wife and three children. LINES, Written in. the Scotch Highlands, EY THE LATE J. KEATS. THERE is a charm in footing slow across a silent plain, | Where patriot battle has been fought, where glory ' I) ad the gain ; 1 There is a pleasure on the heath, where Druids old have been, Where mantles grey have rustled by, and swept the nettles green; There is a jov in every spot made known in days of old, New to the feet, although each tale a hundred times be told ; There is a deeper joy than all, more solemn in the heart, More parching1 to the tongue than all, of more diviue a smart, When weary steps forg'et themselves uoon a pleasant turf, Upon hot sand, or flinty road, or sea- shore iron scurf, Toward the castle or the cot, where long ago was born One who was great through mortal days, and died of fame unshorn I Light heather- bells may tremble tlien,— but they are far away; Woodlark may sing from sandy fern,— the sun may hear his lay ; Runnels may kiss the grass on shelves and'shallows clear,— But their low voices are not heard, though come on travels drear ; Blood- red the sun may set behind black mountain peaks, Blue tides may sluioe and drench their time in caves and weedy creeks, Eagles may seem to sleep wing- wide upon the air, Ring- doves may fly convulsed across to some high- cedar'd lair,— But the forgotten eye is still fast- lidded to the ground, As Palmer's that with weariness mid- desert shrine hath found. At such a time the soul's a child,- in childhood is the brain, Forgotten is the worldly heart— alone, it heats in vain ! Aye, if a madman could have leave to pass a | healthful day, To tell his forehead swoon and faint when first began decay, He might make tremble many a one, whose spirit nad gone forth, To find a Bard's* low cradle place about the silent North! Scanty the hour, and few the steps, beyond the bourn of care, Beyond the sweet and bitter world,— beyond it unaware-! Scanty the hour, and few the steps,— because a longer stay, Would bar return, and make a man forget his mortal way. O horrible ! to lose the light of well- remembered face, Of brother's eyes, of sister's brow,-— constant to every pi ace, Tilling- the air as on we move with portraiture intense, | More warm than those heroic tints that pain a ' painter's sense, When shapes of old come striding by, and visages of oid, Locks shining black, hair scanty grey, and passions manifold ! No, no,— that horror cannot be t for at the cable's length, Man feels the gentle anchor pull, and gladdens in its strength, One hour half- idiot he stands by a mossy waterfall, But in the very next he reads his soul's memorial; Re reads it on the mountain's height, where chance he may sit down Upon rough marble diadem,— that hill's eternal crown ! Yet, be his anchor e'er so fast, room is there for a prayer That man may never lose his mind on mountains black and bare, That he may stray, league after league, some great birth- place to find, And keep his vision clear from speck, his inward sight unblind! * Burns. BEATH OP The Marquis of Londonderry. SHROPSHIRE Church Missionary Association. A notice of tbe Anniversary Meeting of the SHROPSHIRE CHURCH MISSIONARY ASSOCIA- TION, held on the 13th instant, appeared in our ijst Journal. We have now much pleasure in extracting from tbe Report the following testimony to the labours of the two Shropshire Missionaries ia thc Island of Ceylon, transmitted in a private letter from a Gentleman in India: " We went to Badagamme on Thursday. The Mission House is situated on the side of a bill, close to the river, upon which the Missionaries have jeceived a grant of land from the Government. On my enquiring how they come to fix on this spot for the field of their labours, Mr. MAYOR informed me lhat on his first arrival he settled in the town of Galle, but finding that he could have little inter- course there with the Natives, and that more of his time than he thought was right was engrossed by the Europeans, he resolved to quit Galle and live in the country. Having heard of the beauty of Bagadannne he visited it, and Ending it answer his expectations, he fixed upon tfis spot now occupied by the house. It was then a mass of rock covered with jungle. But with much labour he blew up tbe rock, cleared the ground of wood, and levelled tne spot upon which the house now stands— and soon raised a very comfortable abode. It is in the Bungalow fashion, but large enough to contain three families. The pillars are of the iron tree, which abounds here, and is of incredible weight and strength. He is now employed in erecting tbe Church at a few yards distance from the house; where he encountered the same difficulties from large masses of rock." " Nothing that I have seen yet ( the writer con- tinues) conveys to my mind so completely the idea cf a Missionary establisment as that of Badagamme : and 1 should be glad if all our Missionaries would visit it and learn a useful lesson from what they would see. Mr. MAYOR and Mr. WARD are men w'no would, and WHO DO attract notice in any company into which they go. Mr. MAYOR is the son of a Clergyman in Shropshire, and has also a brother in the Church. He was himself brought up to Medicine, but took Orders, His ability in his former profession appears to be very respectable. At one time, when there was no regular medical man at Galle, Mr. M. discharged, and with satis- faction to all, the important functions of that situ- ation. His knowledge of Physic and of Surgery he finds of vast service among the Natives : it gives him an almost unbounded influence over them ; insomuch that the horrid practice resorted to by the Natives of Ceylon in cases of sickness—* THE DEVIL'S DANCE'— has fallen into almost entire dis- use in the neighbourhood of Badagamme..— Mr. MAYOR performed the service in Church last Sunday, and I do not recollect when I have heard oitr fine Liturgy read in so clear and impressive a manner. u Both the Missionaries are remarkably well informed— indeed I learnt more from them of the natural resources and productions of the Island, than from any person with whom I have yet con- versed— While Mr. MAYOR attends to theouilding and the ROUGHER work, Mr. WARD is engaged with the Schools, of which they have established FOUR- ONE in their own ground, and THREE in the neigh- bourhood. We accompanied him one. day to the schooUroorn, where we found between 30 and 40 boys, whom we heard go through their lessons in English and Cingalese with great satisfaction. u The Missionaries both speak thc language— Mr. MAYOR with great fluency, but they employ an Interpreter, ns he makes himself more intelligible than they yet can. Before the workmen begin in tbe morning, they are assembled under a shed, when one of the Missionaries makes them a short exhortation and then prays with them. I never saw two men actuated by a spirit more truly Apos- tolic. While they are engaged about the buildings and the instruction of the boys, their wives take their places amidst a number of native girls, whom they instruct in reading and needle- work. In truth they are Missionaries as much as tbeir husbands. They appear to have studied the language, and they seem determined to forward the endeavours of" their husbands to the utmost of their power." We were enabled in our last Postscript to announce, on the authority of the London Papers, the sudden death of the Marquis of Londonderry. His Lordship's unexpected demise, and the know- ledge Jthat the Noble Lord was subject to gouty j attach, naturally led to the conclusion that his j death must have proceeded from some fatal stroke of that acute disorder; accordingly, the Globe, the Star, and other Papers in Opposition, as well as those attached lo the Ministry, promulgated that his death vvas occasioned by gout in the stomach, and this it appears was indeed the general rumour, for the report did not originate with any Ministerial Print, as some contemptible characters would in- sinuate. A short period, however, elapsed, and the appalling truth became known; and we have now, with feelings of deep regret, to record another illustration- of the instability of earthly property, and of the Vain inadequacy of rank and power. The- Marquis of Londonderry DIED BY HIS OWN HAND. The insanity under which his Lordship commit- ted this fatal act has been established beyond all doubt, as our readers will hereafter pei ccive. Many other circumstances, in themselves considered tri- fling at the time, have also since transpired, and have afforded further conclusive evidence. Had it been possible or decorous to have demanded His Majesty's testimony, we are informed that lhat Illustrious Personage would have stated his con- viction tliat a great? change had taken place it* Lord Londonderry's general demeanour and con- versation. This is affirmed* to have struck His Majesty more particularly on Friday, the 9th inst. when his Lordship waited upon bim to take leave | before His Majesty's departure for Scotland. Immediately after the Noble Lord had lsft the Palace, the King is said to have written to the Earl of Liverpool, mentioning that he had just'had " Londonderry" with him ; that the Marqnis talked in a very remarkable manner ; that His Majesty felt alarmed on his Lordships account; and that it would be advisable to take becoming precautions to have the opportunity of watching his Lordship's conduct. The King further urged the necessity of at once having medical advice, but, if possible, without letting his Lordship know that his de- meanour had been the subject of any remark. This led to the calling in of medical aid, and to the adoption <> f precautions in the removal of pistols, razors, & c. out of the apartments : bnt sufficient watchfulness was not evinced. The testimony of the Duke of Wellington, also transmitted on the 9th inst. will be found in its proper place. On thc same day his Lordship, after walking in a quick manner up and down Cockspur- street, suddenly addressed the master of the British Coffee- House, who was standing on the step of his hotel, and asked if Sir Edmund Nagle was in the house. The master replied in the negative, upon which his Lordship insisted that he was, in a way very unusual with him, and upon again being assured that he was not, he beat his hands together, and I walked away. I THE INQUEST. I On Tuesday afternoon, a Coroner's Inquest was held on the body of ihe Marquis of Londonderry, at the mansion at North Cray, before Mr. Carttar, the Coroner, and a Jury composed of 13 inhabitants of the village of North Cray. The Jury having viewed tho remains of Ihe distinguished Statesman, the first witness sworn was— Ann Bailey Robinson, who said, I am maid to the Marchioness of Londonderry. My master had ben ill for some time, and particularly so since Monday se'nnight. On Sunday nigh? last he rang the hell of his bed- room, when I asked his Lordship what he wanted, and he enquired why Lady Londonderry did not come to see him. I answered, lhat she had heen with him all day. Lady Londonderry was at that time in an adjoining room. I left him, and in some tune afler he again rang the hell. I again answered it, and his Lordship inquired why Dr. Bankhead had not been to see him. I reminded his Lordship that the Doctor had been here all day, and his Lordship asked if he ( Lord L.) had talked any nonsense to Dr. B. My reply was, that I was not present at any conversation between them. 1 then left the room. At seven o'clock the next morning, his bell rang again, and I went into his bed- room, when he asked what brought me there. My Lady ami his Lordship were both in bed. Lady L said they wanted breakfast. I soon after took it to their room, and his Lordship said it was not good ; not fit for him. It was his usual breakfast; such as he uni- formly had. At half- past seven the hell rang once more, and I again answered it. Lord Londonderry asked if Dr. Bankhead was come from town. I said he had slept there all night, and his Lordship then desired that he might be called. I immediately went to Dr. Bankhead's room, and called him, informing him mv Lord wished to see him as soon as my Lady had left the bed room. I was in the interval stand- ing in the passage next the bed room, and my Lord came out and pushed past ine into the dressing room. I opened the door of Dr. Bankhead's room, and called to him. He came out and ran into the dressing room, and I, following him and looking in the room, saw his Lordship fall into the Doctor's arms, and at the same moment I saw blood gush from him. 1 did not perceive any wound or blood upon hiin while he was in the bed room. I am sure there was no blood upon him when he was there. I am sure there was no other person then in the room. The Coroner— And now what is your opinion with respect to the slate of his Lordship's mind ? - Witness. He has been very bad for the last fortnight; very incorrect and very wild in every thing he said and did.— He said, on one occasion, he wanted to have a box from me, which Lord Clanvvilliam had given me. Lord Clanwilliam had never given me any thing of that kind — He also asked me for some keys which he had iu his own possession, to my cer- tain knowledge, at the time. I am quite sure he was very wild, and very harsh and seveie ; totally differ- ent from his usual manner, which was extremely mild and kind. He talked constantly of some con- spiracy against him. There are many circumstances which convince me he was out of his mind. He was very angry with my Lady on Sunday, and scolded her, and accused her of not having been with him that day, although she had not left him all the morning. Dr. James Bankhead said, on Friday last, I re- ceived a note from the Marchioness, begging me to come as soon as possible tu her Lord, whom she was extremely anxious about, as she thought him alarm- ingly ill, and very nervous.— I went immediately to his Lordship, and felt his pulse, aud thought him very feverish. He complained of n pain in his head, and confusion of recollection. I considered him ex- tremely ill. He appeared very much disturbed in his manner. I said it was necessary he should be | cupped, and that I would stay until the cupper came, and dine with the Marchioness. The cupper soon arrived, and his Lordship lost seven ounces of blood. After the operation, he expressed himself much re- lieved, and I advised him to lie down on thc sofa quietly for half an hour, and, as his Lordship had ate scarcely any dinner, to take a cup of tea.— He did so.,— I remained until his Lordship got into th ® carriage, accompanied by the Marchioness, to return to North Cray, and liis Lordship said to me, before his departure, as I must be sure that he was very iii, he expected I would come down the next day, and stay at Cray with him all Saturday and Sunday. I sent with him some opening medicine, which I directed him to take on the Saturday morning early, as I was anxious to know its effect when I visited him. I arrived here on Saturday afternoon, and was informed he had been iu bed the whole of the day. I went immediately to his bed- room, on entering which, I observed his manner of looking towards me " as particularly suspicious, and betokened alarm. It was quite strange and unusual. He remarked, that il was very odd I should come into his bed- room without first going into the dining room below. I answered, I had dined iu town, and as it was a family dinner, they had got below stairs, I had come to see him iu tbe first instance. He then made a remark which surprised me exceedingly. He said, " I seemed particularly grave ill my manner," and asked me abruptly, " if 1 had any thing unpleasant to tell him?" I answered that I had not. I was surprized at the question, and his manner of putting it. He said, the truth was, he had reason to he sus- picious in some degree, but he hoped I would be the last person who would engage in any tiling that would be injurious to him. His manner was so strange and so wild, ns to satisfy me that he was labouring under mental delusion. I bid hiin be very tranquil, and prescribed for him some more cool and aperient medicines, desiring also that his diet might be confined to barley water and slops only. I re- mained with his Lordship until tbe next morning, when, although there was no increase of fever, his mind still appeared to be in the same state. At 12 o'clock on Sunday night, by my advice, he went to bed. I remained constantly with his Lordship until that time. On Monday morning, at seven o'clock, Mrs. Robinson, Lady Londonderry's maid, tapped at my d. or, ami asked if I was dressed, for that my Lord wished to see me. I answered, " Does he want me now ?" To which she replied, " No, not imme- House, and spoke, for the first time in Parliament, in support of the right of Ireland to trade with India ou free principles. This debut is noticed by the late Lord Charlemont in terms of approbation. We find him, soitn after, one of the most important supporters of ihe Government. Lord Camden was appointed Vieerov of Ireland in 1795. Mr. Stewart declared absolutely in favour of his Lordship's Administration. The sister of Lord Camden became the second wife of the then Lord Londonderry, a circumstance that diately, but by- and bye, when uiy Lady is dressed : j tended much to strengthen the political alliance of s^ e has not yet left the bed room." In half an hour afterwards, Mrs. Robinson came again, arid said her Ladyship was then dressed, and her Lord would he glad to see inc. In walking from my own room to that of my Lord's, I saw his door was open, and that he was not there. 1 met Mrs. Robinson, w ho said he the parties. Lord Charlemont thus writes to a friend, shortly after the arrival of Lord Camden in Ireland : —" I have seen Robert ( M r. Stewart), and have given him but little comfort with regard to his friend's administration. I cannot but love him ( Mr. Stewart)— bnt why so Be- PittedM< r.

It is impossible to j pass over in silence a transaction which took place in 1809, which excited much interest at the time, and I was expected to he the prelude to many disasters to this country. It is known that about the middle of the yearlSOO, a hostile meeting took place between j Lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning— his Lordship charged Mr. Canning with want of faith and honour , r « minotH Mfter I entered the I in his conduct towards him— that Mr. Canning quite dead » n less than a minute alter i entered t ft prRmise on his personai solicitation, that Lord C. should he removed from office— and th; room.

In about half an hour strangers were again ad- mitted. The Coroner then said, '- Gentlemen of the Jury, attend to your verdict. He then read the verdict, which was to this effect :—• " That the Most Noble the Marquis of London derry, on the I2lh of August, and for some time previous, had laboured under a grievous disease of with this promise in his pocket, he not only concealed the whole affair from Lord Castlereagh, but permitted him to remain in this state of delusion, to continue to conduct the entire arrangement of the campaign and to engage in a new expedition of the most important, extensive, and complicated nature, under the full persuasion, that he enjoyed Mr. Canning's cordial and bonafide support as a co- operating colleague. Mr. C. answered the demand for a meeting without delay. - The conduct of the Noble Viscount was that of a man of high honour; though that of his adver- sary, in the opinion of many, did not appear so satisfactory. The Noble Lord followed the general policy of Mr. Pitt. As Minister for Foreign Affairs, he continued to enjoy the ample confidence of his Sovereign and his colleagues. Our Continental Mis- sions were placed entirely under his disposition. His Uohle presence, the dignity of his manners, fitted him for the association of Kings. As Plenipotentiary Extraordinary to the Continent, at different times, his conduct as the representative of this great nation lias been much praised. The House of Commons met him on his return, with expressions of applause such ns no event could ever before elicit from that body. The part, which his Lordship took in the measures of Parliament, up to the moment of his death, is suffi- ciently known to the public. As if destined to wit- tbe mind", a nd that under the " operation of ,!> nt j ness Ihe last sanction to those Acts which ( how uniformly failed ; while from 1812, when Lord Lon- donderry took a lead iu the Cabinet, all the military enterprizes of Great Britain were as uniformly pro- sperous. Such an uniform result in each case could not he the effect of chance. But Lord Londonderry had not, like Mr. Pitt, only to fight the battles of the country, he had to repair at home, the consequences of 25 years of lavish expen- diture; and he lived, to see what we. trust we may safely call an unequivocal dawning of a successful issue to this important struggle. As an Orator, Lord Londonderry vvas always suc- cessful in satisfying the House of Commons, though frequently the object of ridicule, and never, except in reply, where he was unrivalled, of admiration. The vices of Mr. Pitt's style, upon which he had formed his elocution, adhered to him to the last ; and his own clear Scsuccinct understanding constantly in- volved him in a thousand extravagancies or sloven- linesses, among the pleonasms, expletives, and syno- n'rmes of his great master. When, how ever, he escaped from his artificial oratory, Lord Londonderry rarely failed to be eloquent; and his replies and other un- prepared speeches were always his happiest efforts. Some of them, indeed, have been treated as models of parliamentary eloquence.. As a Diplomatist, we believe Lord Londonderry has no rival in British History. The pacification of Paris will form an eternal monument of his wisdom ; and, ahove ail, of that temper and moderation, which were under the circumstances the strongest, and most difficult proofs of ": t. Mr O'Meara tells us that Na- poleon sneered at his neglect of securing an advan- tageous commercial treaty with France, but those who reflect that no guarantee for such a treaty could be obtained on earth, will not condemn the Minis- ter who forbore to insist upon a bargain which could not he permanently enforced ; which must serve as the root of internal discontent in France, and lhe germ of future war between the nations. Napoleon has treated as unskilful and absurd, the order of bat- tle by which he was beaten at Waterloo, and it is consistent that he should use like terms of contempt towards the measures which rendered the conse- quences of that victory eternal. \ From an Opposition Paper.] Tlie sudden death of ihe Marquis of Londonderry has left a void in the Ministry that it will he difficult to fill, and cause a loss to his party, of which they express their sense hy the most unfeigned demon- strations of grief. He possessed their confidence in a very great degree : they counted upon his firmness in the most trying circumstances, and expected, when every other resource seemed to fail, to be extricated from the most perplexing situation hy his dexterity. Thev had the most entire reliance at the same time upon his political consistency; and they never seemed to feel apprehensions that he could be induced alady, he did on the. same day, with a koife, inflict a deadly wound in hi* neck, whereof he died ; no other person being in auy way or manner concerned in Iiis death." To this verdict all the Jurors signed their names. The Coroner then addressed the Jury, as follows :— " GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY, I have detained you a few moments longer than, perhaps, seemed necessary after the decision you have come to, but I hope you will think that niv doing so is by no means a work of supererogation when I lay before von a document which I now hold in my hand. Your ver- dict upon the evidence which you have already heard, will be, I have no doubt, as satisfactory to your country as it is, I am sure, to your own con- sciences; bui Iain sure also you will have no objec- tion to the further piece of documentary testimony which I hold in my hand. The Noble Marquis, re- specting whose death we are assembled to enquire, was present before the King in Council on Friday- last ; aud as it has heen stated that he had, previous to that day, exhibited symptoms of a deranged intel- lect, it may be deemed doubtful; it may seem strange that, subsequent to such aberrations of mind as have been described, he should be found exercising the functions of his high office. I understand, however, that witnesses are in the house who could trace the malady, under which this unfortunate Nobleman appears to have laboured, lo a considerable period antecedent to the act which is the subject of this enquiry. This I think you will deem unuecessaiy ; but, in order to remove all doubt upon thc subject iu the public mind, I will read a letter to you, written by one of the highest personages in the kingdom, the Duke of Wellington, in which he expresses, iu free terms, his opinion of the state of the Noble Marquis's mind." The following is a copy of ihe letter i— " Apsley House, August 9. " DEAR SIR.— 1 called upon you with the intention of talking to you on the subject of the health of Lord Londonderry, and to request of you that you will call on him. I told his Lordship that lie was unwell, and particularly requested him to send for you; but lest he should not, 1 sincerely hope that you will contrive by some pretence to go down to his Lordship. I have no doubt he is very unwell. He appears to me to have been exceedingly harassed, much fatigued, and over- worked during the late Session of Parlia- ment, and I have no doubt he labours under mental delusion, at least this is my impression. I beg that you'll never mention to any one what I have told you respecting his Lordship.— I am, & c. " WELLINGTON." " To C. Bankhead, M. D." & c. The Coroner, in conclusion, observed, that he thought this letter must be quite satisfactory. The Jurors expressed their entire asseut. The following is an extract of a letter, dated North Cray, six o'clock, Tuesday evening :—" His Lordship was in town for the last time on Friday. It was his usual custom, when at his country residence, to take his own horses on his way to London, as far as Eltham, and theu to drive post. At Elthatn, on Friday, he had given orders to his coachman to meet hiin on his return at half past 4 o'clock, hut his Lordship did not arrive there until a much later hour. Every preparation had been made for his Lordship's departure, during the present week, to the Congress to he held at Verona.— The whole of Saturday he remained at North Cray. His domes- tics assert that within the last 10 days he manifested a very great alteration in his temper, which had been characteristically kind towards his household and tenantry. He had repeatedly complained, I under- stand, of the labours of the long protracted Session of Parliament, during which, though he had sup- porters numerically, yet there existed no division of labour. " His Lordship's body, until the verdict of « ks_ Jn- quest, remained in ihe dressing gown in which he ( lied. It is supposed that his remains will be re moved lo the family vault in the county of Down, Ireland, lu writing the word family, my recollec- tion has been naturally recalled to that memorable Chancery proceeding, in the progress of which cer- tain allusions were made to the existence of mental alienation in some of its branches. I have been in- formed that from the return of the Noble Marquis from London on Friday last, every instrument by which any attempt on life could be effected was kept out of his reach, The knife wiih which be consum- mated the deplorable act, was what is generally called a nail- knife, having a file on the extremity nearest the handle, and the remaining part a blade of an inch long. The wound was exactly in the carotid, on the left side, an inch in extent, and two inches in depth.— These are the particulars, as far us I can collect, of this melancholy transaction. I have ouly to add, that on the pait of the domestics of ihe deceased Nobleman, every individual appeared sincerely sen- sible of the loss of a kind and generous master. In that feeling the neighbourhood coincide." MEMOIRS. Ilis Lordship vvas born in 1769, he. vvas the eldest son of the late Marquis by Iiis first Lady, sister to the late Marquis of Hertford. His Lordship distinguished himself when a boy for great decision and intrepidity of character. In a boating excursion with his tutor, to whom he was much attached, the latter having fallen by accident into the water, careless of danger he plunged in after him, and was the happy means of rescuing his friend from death. Early iu life his Lordship showed a desire to engage in political affairs, and he was scarcely twenty one years of age w hen he vvas elected Member of the Irish Parliament for the county of Down. The election was fiercely contested, and the success of the Hon. Mr. Stewart cost his father no les* than £ 30,000. The young Member ranged biniself with the popular side of the soon!) were destined to he tbe last public acts of his | life, he attended the Speaker at the bar of the House of Lords, to witness the prorogation of Parliament hy the Sovereign. The first occasion, on which the Noble Marquis became known to the English public, vvas that of his seconding the Address to the King on the memorable 29th of October, 1795. The Session of Parliament was opened on that day ; the chief object of calling it together at that early period of the year vvas, in the first place, to mitigate the evil arising from the scarcity of corn which then prevailed throughout the country, and to adopt vigorous measures for putting astop to the meetings of vast bodies of people, which, at that time, had been held in the vicinity of the metropolis under the direction of the Corresponding Society, and which were represented by the Ministers as seditions and treasonable. Tbe outrageous attack made that day on his Majesty, while he was proceed- ing to open the Parliament, vvas dwelt upon as a complete justification of the severe Acts passed for the above purpose. The Address, in answer to the King's Message, was moved in the House of Com- mons by Lord Dalkeith, and seconded by the subject of these memoirs, theu the Honourable Robert Stewart, iri a speech of moderate length, which was his maiden speech, and held out no promise, either iu point of eloquence or argument, of that great talent and expansion of mind, for which he has since been so eminently distinguished. HIS PUBLIC CHARACTER. [ From the St. James's Chronicle. J There are three views in w hich the character of this great man may he examined— as a Statesman ; as an Orator; and as a Diplomatist: and in each will be found a great preponderance of those qualities, which command respect, and even admiration. As a States man he will be fonnd consistently adhering to the same principles during twenty eight years of his incessant political activity from the ag- e of 25 years, the maturity of his understanding. It is in his capa- city as a statesman, that we can most justly appreciate the native virtues of his character; the personal in- tegrity which never deviated, the courage which never shrunk, the sincerity which never sought con- cealment, and as the consequence of these, the calm- ness which nothing could disturb; all these virtues were demanded, and they were conspicuously dis- played, in the part which Lord Londonderry took in effecting the Irish Union, the great monument of his political talents. A man of less firmness, or of less sincerity, would never have succeeded in dealing with the Irisii Aristocracy in that day; perhaps the most corrupt, and indisputably the- most punctilious, class of mankind ; by telling them calmly that he was alike prepared to purchase them by bribes, or to meet them in the field, Lord Castlereagh disclosed at once, that he was master of the springs of their actions, and they fell easily into his arms. The same consciousness of personal integrity ( unhappily too clearly distinguish- ed from political rectitude in many cases) admirably sustained his Lordship in the trials which he was to undergo in the British Cabinet; and, delected in a flagrant act of political transgression, and betrayed by a colleague, the clearness of his hands, and the steadiness of his resolution, brought him out of both difficulties without dishonour— out of the last with triumph. Of Lord Londonderry's exemption from personal corruption no better proof can be desired than this,— he who was the agent in bribing a nation was never charged with appropriating a single guinea to his own use,—- lie who, as it was suspected, had managed half the Cabinets of Europe, by influence of money, was never imagined to have misapplied the funds placed at his disposal — and he who was, during ten years, a leading Cabinet Minister,— if not the very first, died the possessor of a single office; nor are we aware that any of his numerous brothers, except Lord Stewart, who has fairly earned his station hy his own services, is the holder ofa beneficial office. In this Lord Londonderry is honourably distinguished from Mr. Pilt and Mr. Percival, who both the one and the other accumulated sinecures in their own persons, and provided for iheir relatives at the public charge. The only serious imputation which has ever been cast upon Lord Londonderry's character is a charge of cruelty in the measures adopted by the Government, of which he vvas a member, for the sup- pression of the Irish rebellion; the imputation of wanton cruelly is, however, repelled hy the tenor of his public and private life. That he was not able to cause the laws to be always respected amid the tumult of a civil war is scarcely a reproach, inter arma silent leges; that the excesses committed hy the irritated loyalists should be exaggerated beyond all measure of ordinary falsehood, by the disappointed traitors of Ireland, cannot he a subject of astonish- ment with those who remember all the changes rung upon the " Manchester massacre." But of the real humanity of the Irish Government of Lord London- derry, this indisputable testimonial remains, that for the tremendous, and almost successful, rebellion . of 1798, the executions were fewer lhan for the i% boyish riot," as it was emphatically called by the Attorney General, of 1803, under what vvas affectedly styled j the " mild and merciful government of Lord Hard- wicke," while the pardons in the former case were I to those in ihe latter as hundreds of thousands to unity. As a British Minister Lord Londonderry will he most justly and appropriately compared with Mr. Pitt; nnd in all leading points of comparison he will he found to have a manifest advantage. Mr Pitt found the Empire enjoying peace, and comparative prosperity, and he left it plunged in a war, so dark and hopeless, that he has been said to have sunk under his own consciousness of the desperate con- dition of his country. Lord Londonderry, on the other hand, found the Empire in that gloomy state, where his predecessor could detect no ray of hope, and he raised her to the rank of Arhitress of Europe. It may be said, that it is unfair to argue from events, but il is to be remembered, lhat Mr. Pitt's expedition* by any motives to desert their ranks. As it wns known that he was as much attached to their interests and principles as they were to him, they had followed him for a considerable time as their chief leader, without, however, formally recognizing him as such. He was eminently qualified too to he the leader of a parly in times like the present, w hen such qualities as we have enumerated arc held from absolute necessity ! in higher estimation than virtues of a better order. As a Statesman, he was diligent, quick and discern- ing, but without any lofty views, which, nnless they were regulated by consummate prudence, and the purest integrity, might involve a country like this in the greatest difficulties. But he had the talent of managing our interests abroad, amidst the most con- flicting principles, with singular address; and he secured at least peace to the country, if he did not procure for it all the advantages, which our exploits in the last « ar, combined with our great wealth and superior resources of almost every kind, would have tempted a more aspiring statesman to aim at. But he quenched lhat envy, which our great fame in arms, as Well as our undisputed superiority in the arts of peace would have inspired. In his negotiations, he aimed more at obtaining the friendship of Foreign Powers than at an invidious ascendancy. He was probably impelled to this course as much from lie. cessity as from choice. His loss will cause a deep sensation in many foreign courts, and perhaps sus- pend the execution of many projects, to which his concurrence was deemed absolutely necessary. His merits as a Parliamentary Leader were of a sin- gular order, and he exercised an influence over the House of Commons which no man, so liltle gifted with real eloquence, ever possessed before. He was probably the victim of his Parliamentary duties, to which he attended with a diligence that was never sur- passed ; and, by his suavity of manner, he knew how to temper that hostility which the energy with which he supported his principles incessantly provoked. In his political enmities he vvas open and manly, and he neVer, we believe, exposed himself to the suspicion that he abused his power to gratify his personal re- sentments. In his public character, he vvas perfectly consistent; in his private, every thing that is deemed exemplary— a good husband, un indulgent master, a constant friend, and an accomplished Gentleman. But, as an English Minister, he infused perhaps into the Administration more of a taste for despotic power than vvas consistent wilh the character of the Govern- ment, and more subtlety than suited the nation. IIIS PRIVATE CHARACTER. The following tribute to the amiable character of his Lordship, is given in a private letter from North Cray :— " Whatever," observes the writer, " may have been the opinion of the world as to his political character, however applauded hy friends or defamed hy enemies, in the sweet retreat of private life, in the bosom of his family— in retirement, the Marquis of Londonderry was the most amiable and beloved of men. He was the benefactor of the poor, tbe con- soler of the afflicted, and the distributor of charities unbounded. To his domestics he was tbe kindest master. Alas ! Sir, was the observation of each of them this evening, * we have lost the best friend we ever had ; we were too happy in his service.' To the village of Foot's Cray he was a liberal contributor in every improvement. The few inhabitants it con- tains, look upon his death as the greatest calamity that could befal them, and they are loud in the ex- pression of their sorrows. We have seldom witnessed a more unaffected display of grief than was presented I on all the roads in ihe neighbourhood of this place. I The people kept up hope to the last— they dreaded that the reports would be confirmed, and when tbe fatal truth could no longer he concealed, heart- felt sorrow and lamentation pervaded them ail. It vvas impossible to find a more amiable object of private life than the Marquis exhibited at this place; hither he fled from political contests. Ilarrassed in the world hy enemies to his measures, he seemed determined at his home to make every one around him a friend, and well and fully has he succeeded. " In every act of kindness, iu every step of bounty or of charity, the Marchioness of Londonderry vvas his constant companion : and now prayers for her, and invocations of blessings on her head, accompany all the expressions of sorrow from the people for his Lordship's loss." An Opposition Paper observes—" The Marquis of Londonderry has been described as the prop of the existing Ministry— with what truth is not yet appa- J rent. That he was one of the most remarkable men I to be found amongst the rulers of any enlightened people, will hardly seem paradoxical to those who compare his characteristics as Minister of Stale whh the nature and magnitude of those emergencies which called them into frequent action. As a mem- ber of society, apart from office, we bear a w illing tribute to those valuable qualifies by which his Lordship acquired and preserved the affections of his numerous friends. We pass by the mere accom- plishments and elegancies which distinguished him, since to dwell upon them would be to depreciate the more solid virtues. Lord Londonderry vvas a man of unassuming manners, of simple tastes, and ( so far as regarded private life) of kind and generous dispo- sitions. Towards the poor he vvas beneficent: in his family mild, considerate, aud forbearing. He was firm to the connexions and associates of his earlier days, not only those of choice, but of accident, when not unworthy ; and lo promote them, and to advance their interests, his efforts were sincere and indefatigable. In power he forgot no service ren- dered to him while he was in a private station, nor broke any promise, expressed or implied, nor abandoned any friend who claimed and merited his assistance." or would be useful; and if it happened that he had occasion to reprove, he performed that ungracious task so graciously and kindly as to unfailingly reform the individual, to whom, at the same time, lie en- deared himself. Of the protection which he afforded to all who served under him, the following authentic instance will give the public a just notion:— During the whole period that our paper money was depreci- ated below gold, our Consuls and other representa- tives in foreign countries were paid no more by the Treasury than their nominal salary, allowances, & e. in the paper currency of the day. In having those, sums remitted to them, the rate of exchange vvas so much against this country that they were frequently great losers, and did not receive iu specie more than, a proportion of their just emolument. The Marquis of Londonderry often remonstrated with the Treasury upou the hardship of the case, hut was always met on this ground, that if compensation were allowed for those losses, ii would be au admission that Bank of England notes were depreciated, in contradiction to official declarations of Ministers. The Treasury also warned the Auditor of Public Accounts against such claims, and, in short, effectually resisted them so far as it w as possible. His Lordship, how ever, w as deter- mined that his official agents should not suffer, and' accordingly made good their deficiencies out of the secret service money granted him by Parliament. The manner in which theMarqiiis of Londonderry's private affairs were conducted, particularly " hen they bad any reference to the public, is equally creditable to him. All the small expenses of bis household were regularly settled and paid weekly, while those of greater consequence, though allowed to run for some time longer, were all discharged at stated periods, and witb the utmost satisfaction. It is universally knownthathis Lordship was the kindest and most indulgent master which servants could have, lie was at the same time scrupulously careful that their wants and comforts should be supplied solely at his cost, and w ith this view, w hile he positively pro- hibited them from using a pen or a sheet of paper which he officially received, he gave them unlimited j credit at his private stationer's for whatever article* J of that sort they might need. The Marquis of Lon- ( donderry vvas certainly in all personal pecuniary transactions most generous and high minded. Be- fore his father's, death, his private fortune was neces- sarily slender, the patrimonial eslate being compara- tively small, and his father's family numerous. But this vvas no bar to his Lordship's liberality. At thc conclusion of the war, his brother, now elevated to the Marquisate, was, among several olher distinguish- ed officers, raised to llie Peerage, by the title of Lord' Stewart, a pension of £ 2,000 per annum being allowed to those creations and their successors for the two next generations.— Lord Castlereagh ( ns he then was) would not permit his brother lo accept any part of the pension, but in lieu of it settled £ 2000 a- year upon him out of his own private income 1 This fact would be tarnished by any attempt to embh'Zon it. It is also worth remarking, that although the Marquis of Londonderry's means were, until lust year, more straitened than those of auy of his colleagi. es in office, ihe head of tbe Foreign Department is neees- cessarily under greater expenses than any other Minister. He alone has to keep a sort of Court for all the Ambassadors from Foreign Powers in this country; and while he frequently invites them to official dinners, to maintain the dignify and rank of the nation in the sumpUiousness of those entertain- ments. The Marquis of Londonderry has always done this, and we need not add, that his amiable and now distracted Marchioness nobly- co. operated in supporting the splendor of their establishing nt, ;, ii leader of the HACT- TON ; but, alas! of all this gran- deur, there is uot, we may say, in the tw inkling of ail eye, a wreck left behind. It is not unworthy of remark that a certain vender of low- priced seditious pamphlets and caricatures, in tbe vicinity of Ludgate hill, ou hearing of the death of the Marquis of London- derry, hoisted a white f2ag, with the words " The Marquis of Londonderry, alias I. ord Castlereagh^ is dead," nnd terminated the intelligence with three notes of admiration! GLOUCESTERSHIRE PITT CLUB.—' Fhe Annual Meeting of this club vvas held on the 8th instant, at the Bell Hotel, Gloucester, when upwards of 100 gentlemen attended, and His Grace the Duke of Beaufort presided.— On the health of Mr COOPER, the Member for Gloucester, being drank, that gen- tleman rose and returned thanks. He said he was happy to have an opportunity of expressing his con- tinued attachment to his friends; he rejoiced to meet them at the present commemoration, because it had been insinuated that the Pitt Clubs were declining, nnd it had been fondly hoped that thev would he abandoned nlfogetbei ; but the present M » eliug had given a satisfactory answer. He trusted it would not be forgotten that the Pitt Clubs form an Associ- ation of those persons iu the country w ho entertain the same political principles. " We do not meet," said he, " merely to commemorate ihe talents of that illustrious Statesman, Mr. Piit, bnt also to hand down the principles of the British Constitution, founded as it is on ail hereditary Monarchy. We have been called ihe friends of power and the enemies of liberty I deny the charge. We are not the friends of any power hut constitutional power. We are ns. much tne advocates of liberty as those who have the name oftener in their months. We are friends to re- form, but it is a practical one; it is lhat reform which, at the same time that it improves the State,, improves also the members who compose it. 1 trust these will ever he the sentiments ol the Pitt Clubs,,, and that they will never be abandoned ; they give life to patriotic sentiments, and they afford an oppor- tunity of expressing those sentiments."— Adverting to the objects of the meeting, Mr Cooper said that,, happily the country was not now called upon to ex- ercise the ta'ents of Mr. Pitt in war, hut he hoped they would do so in peace; he hoped they would do, it in liquidating the national debt, and in supporting- the pledged faith of the country. He congratulated the Meeting on the state of the Revenue, and the surplus of the last quarter. He lamented the distress existing in the Agricultural Interest, but he was convinced that every considerate man would allow that all that distress vvas beyond ihe reach of legis- lative relief; the Legislature was most anxious on the subject, but an effectual remedy could not he afforded. He hoped that that distress would not con- tinue ; he vvas of opinion that the cosi to the pro- ducer and the price to the consumer would ultimately find a level ; all classes might then move together, certainly in a lower sphere, but he thought that there would be found to be nothing more than a nominal difference. With respect to Taxes, a saving of four millions had been effected in the current year, ar. d he trusted that future years would produce further reductions. Reduction and retrenchment, at present^, had been carried as far as they could be, consistent with the interest ofthe country. Mr. Cooper, in nolicing the retirement of the late Secretary of State for the Home Department, whose character, he said, had been attacked, was happv to bear testimony to the ability and worth of thai Nobleman. His suc- cessor vvas eminently qualified to fill his place, pos- sessing as he does great suavity of manners, and at the same time a firm supporter of the Prote taut Establishment. Mr. Cooper concluded by saying, that he believed the country was safe in thc hands oi'" the present Ministers. On sitting down he was reeled with loud and continued cheering. VETERINARY " LARNING. instructions are stated to have — The following been given to a gentleman, by a farrier not 100 miles from Whixall, in this county. " Sor, I hav send you eiteen bols for you hos and giv yor hos 4 a wick for 5 wicks ronin and then stop." With respect to the Marquisof Londonderry's habits of business in his peculiar department, they were un- remitting, but apparently not laborious, because they were not bustling. When in town he generally w ent to the Foreign Office about eleven, or half- past eleven, in the forenoon, and remained till one or two, or oc- casionally later. His Lordship's couducl to all persons under him was so affectionate, and gentlemanly, that, without exception, every one connected with the Foreign Department feels and deplores his death, as if it were that of the kindest parent. He laid it down as a principle, and followed it himself implicitly, that the head of every public office vvas bound in duty to protect and advise all persons subordinate to him. The instances in which his Lordship acted thus are now fondly but mournfully called to mind by the members of his department.
