Mr. Prince having neither Partner or Traveller, recommends Perfumers, Medicine Venders, and others in the Country, to have the Russia Oil from a respectable Wholesale Perfumer or Medicine Vender whom ihey deal with in London; they will be certain of not being deceived, as the principal Wholesale Perfumers and Medicine Venders in Lou- don arc Agents forselliiM'- Prince's celebrated Russia Oil. Shopkeepers ought to ho particularly on their Guard not to buy counterfeit Russia Oil, as Mr. Prince has had the Opinion of Counsel, w ho informs him that if any one sells Russia Oil. vvith " Prince" on the Wrapper, that is not Priucc's, subject them- selves- to au Injunction from the Court of Chaueerv, tho same as was g- ranted to Di » v and Marliu. In short, PNINCE] s CELEBRATED RUSSIA OIL is so improved wilh an extra valuable Ingredient, through which it has made tbe Russia Oil the great- est Noiirisher aud Preserver of the Hair iu the Universe, will make it grow thick and long, and prevent its falling off or ever turning Grey ; and is such a Nourisher to the Roots of the Hair, that if it even has began to turn Grey, will restore it again to its natural Colour, and, if used often, it will never turn Grey again, and is sure to clear tbe Scurf, from Infancy io Old Age, and will always keep the Head and Hair clean and beautiful. Gentlemen who have lost their Hair, and have tbe least Sign of Roots of Hair remaining, by using regularly, for a few Months, Prince's Improved Russia Oil, with the extra valuable Ingredient, will be sure to restore it and produce a line Head of Hair, which hundreds have experienced. Even Medical Gentlemen have published, in tho Gazette of Health, Ihat Prince's Russia Oil is superior to any Oil for the Hair, and will do, in Cases of Baldness and Weak Hair, what can possibly he done.— Ladies will find Prince's Russia Oil pre- ferable lo any other Oil for dressing- their own or false Hair, as it. gives it a natural Gloss, softens and curls it. Gentlemen wearing Powder ought to use it instead of Pomatum: it promotes Eyebrows, Whiskers, & c. and, through ihe extra Ingredient, it will now always keep pleasant in all Climates. Proved by Affidavit, the 24th of November. 1814, i before the Lord Mayor of London, that A. Prince is | tbe Original Proprietor iu Ihe Universe of Ihe Russia j Oil ; and therefore if any Perfumer, Medicine Ven- I der, Hair Dresser, or any one else, sell Russia Oil j that is not Prince's, they are Impostors, as they sell Counterfeits lo their Customers.

The Duke of Wellington passed through Strasbnrgh on the - 25th ult. on his way to join the Continental Sovereigns, who it was be- lieved he would meet with in Bavaria. The King of Prussia arrived on the above day at Manheim, I also proceeding in all probability to join the two Emperors. Let ters from Buenos Ayres to the 20th of July have been received. The following is an extract:— Yesterday a post arrived from Chili which in- forms ns of the return of Lord Cochrane with his squadron to Valparaiso, where he has been received with the greatest enthusiasm. He was in Callao Bay, and communicated with the shore, but refused to have any correspondence with San Martin. We are not informed the day on which he left there, hut it is reported here that his Lordship gives his opinion freely that the Independents will be driven out of Lima, and Antarac has issued a bando that all foreigners, nol taking pait in the cause, will, with their properly, be respected in Lima." A Curacoa Coinant, of the - 27th of July, received via the United States, contains an account that General Bolivar had fought a battle with the Spanish General ou the borders of Upper Peru, which lasted all day, and that Bolivar was com- pelled to retreat the next morning; that the Patriots lost half their army aud one General, aud that the loss of the Spaniards was uncommonly severe. RENEWED OUTRAGES IV IRELAND.— The papers- from Ireland received this morning, present u frightful picture of part of that kingdom. Tlie counties of Cork, Limerick, and Walerford, are again a scene of outrage and terror. The views of the disturbers of the public peace appeared last year directed principally against new occupants of land succeeding to the old tenants, At present a resist- unce to rhe payment of t thes is the most prominent object ; and iu this they seem carefully to have adopted the diabolical plans recommended in the various factious and seditious prints. Willi this difference, the outrages which afflict that part of the country are similar iu character to those with which it had been lately disgraced. Murder, robbery, and wilful burning prevail in the black catalogue of crime. The combination against tithes is carried on with the most determined perseverance, aud in the most efficient mariner. The country people are warned, on pain of death, not to draw off* the tithe of the clergyman, when that tithe is taken in kind. Instances are given in which these threats have been successful, and the tithe iu several places is rotting fin the spot where it is collected. But the ringleaders do not confine themselves to this negative hostility. The tithe corn is burned in several places, some- times hy gangs, and. sometimes, it is said, by the application of some chemical preparation, introduced by individuals, which remains in the rick or corn- stack several hours before combustion takes place.— This. distracted state of the country cannot he im- puted to want of energy among- the resident magis- trates and gentry. Thev are in full activity. Neither does justice uteep. lf the Assizes and Special Com- missions aie taken into account, the sittings of the Criminal Courts may be consideied as nearly per- manent. The country issconred night and day by an nrmed police, or the regular army, and the Insur- rection Act is in full force. In short, nothing that ihe civil and military power could effect has been left undone, and of- the additional means of safety provided by the wisdom of Parliament in the last Session, nothiug remains to lie tried but the new Constabulary Bill That remedy has nol been yet completely organised aud hr light into action. It pury afford some relief, but where such a combination of means has failed, it can hardly be hoped this measure, however salutary, can prove effectual. In fhe mean time the price of corn in several districts is merely nominal. The best wheat is selling in several places for about twenty. five shillings the English quarter; nnd such little effect has tbe call on the ii!'* rntees produced, that every man who can leave the country is retiring to the county towns, or to the metropolis. LATF. ROBBERY or THE IPSWICH MAIL.— A negociation has, il is said, been for some time on foot between the thieves who robbed the Ipswich mail of the notes of Alexander and Co. to the amount of £ 31,199, and persons on the part of the Rank. The thieves had signified, soon after the robbery, that the risk they ran, aud the ingenuity they exer eised iu this hazardous undertaking, entitled them to a great part of the sum they had made themselves j masters of, and they made an exorbitant proposal to the concern, undertaking to restore the whole, on payment of £( jO00 in sovereigns, and an indemnity from all charges. A refusal was given to this monstrous offer, and the thieves seemed careless, being men who have made fortunes hy enterprises of the kind, ami well able to try the patience of those who come within their reach. The sum of £ 3000 was offered thein, on condition that they would return all the notes, and no larger offer would be made, and the Police was to commence operations without delay, if those terms were not acceded to. The gang replied that they had sent £ 3000 into circulation, and that as that money was quite out of the question, they must look to some profit from the notes still in their possession, and demanded £ 3000 more if they were to give up all they had risked their lives to obtain. For some days the negociation » vas kept up, but the bankers were playing a deeper A letter fioni Constantinople, of September 3, [ states that the fine city of Aleppo had been visited* by an earthquake, which destroyed one third of the houses and thirty thousand of the inhabitants.

On Friday last, at Halston, Mr. John Crdgg there is reason to hope that the account of its occurrence is without foundation. POSTSCRIPT. LONDON, Monday Night, Oct. 7, 1822. 3 per Cent.

NORTH- WESTERN LAND EXPEDITION. [ From the Man ' real Herald of August. 17.] Through the politeness of a gentleman who has just arrived in this city, from a distant post in the north- west territory, we have received intelligence that' the expedition which was fitted out l> y direction ofthe Admiralty in the summer of 1819, under the orders of Lieut.- Franklin, was on its return to Hudson's Bay: The expedition advanced as near to the Copper Mine River in the following year as the approach- ing winter would perirtit; and in the spring of the last year, having embarked the canoes which they had carried overland with thein, they descended that river until it discharges itself into the Hyper- borean or Frozen Ocean. The expedition then proceeded in the execution' of its ulterior object, namely, to explore the coast of the Polar Sea from the mouth of the Copper Mine River round to Hudson's Bay. This, however, it would appear from the information vve have been able to collect, ft could not further effect than by surveying a few hundred miles of the coast to the northward and eastward, the winter having set in towards the latter end of August with sucn severity as to oblige the party to return. It does not appear from the arrangement which was made, that land- marks should be placed by cither Capt. Parry or Lieut Franklin as they should first arrive at certain points as they proceeded, that the former had reached so far as the party of the latter. Several deaths had occurred, among whom was Mi". Wood, nine Canadians, and one Esquimaux. It is stated that from the observations made in this expedition, the mouth of the Copper Mine River differs by several degrees of latitude from that laid down by llearn. * state that the yellow fever is making such rapid progress at New York, that the healthy inhabitants were rapidly removing from the city. ! THE ARMY.— The 43d light infantry has embarked at Cork, and sailed for Gibraltar, to relieve the 26th regiment of foot.— The 26th regi- ment of foot is to be brought to Cork; in the vessels which take out the 43d regiment. It is now understood that Lord Comhcrrncre, G. C. B., who has been named for some time as the successor of the late Lieutenant- General Sir Samuel Auchmuty, will certainly go to Ireland, and assume the command of the forces in that part of the United Kingdom. SENTENCE UPON CAPTAIN JOHN JEBB, ROYAL HORSE GUARDS. A letter has been received by Major- General Sir Henry Torrens, Adjutant- General, from his Royal Highness the Duke of York, Commander- in- Chief, of which the following is a copy, verbatim, which will no doubt be issued in General Orders through- out the Army. Horse Guards. 4lb October, 1822. SIR— I have laid before the King the proceedings of a General Court- martial held at Knightsbri lge Cavalrv Barracks, on the 24th and 26th September, 1822, for fhe trial of Captain Jebb, of the royal regiment of Horse Guards, who was arraigned upon the under- mentioned charges: — First— u For neglecting to comply with a regimental order, dated 11th April, 1821, respecting the settle- ment of his regimental debts, due lo the clerk of his troop, though frequently applied to hy the clerk of the troop for that purpose." Second—" For disgraceful conduct, in giving two drafts tothe messman of the regiment, on the agents, which drafts were dishonoured, about the 24tli June ami 7th July. 1822." Third—" For being repeatedly absent from his j regiment without leave, in the year 1822 ; all such conduct being highly prejudicial to good order and military discipline, and unbecoming tbe character of an officer aud a gentleman." Upon which charges the Court came to the follow- ing decision :— " The Court having taken into their consideration the whole of this case, and having duly weighed the evidence laid before them, as well on the part of ihe prosecution as by Captain Jebb in his defence, are of opinion as to the first charge, that Captain Jebb is guilty of having neglected to comply with a regi- mental order, dated 18th April, 1821, respecting the settlement of his regimental debts due to the e'erk of his troop, such debts having been made known to bi n by the troop account book being exhibited fo him in the usual manner. u As to the second charge, that Captain Jehb is guiliy of having given two drafts lo the niessmau of the regiment, on the agents, which drafts were dishonoured about the 24th June and 7th July, 1822, such conduct being in the opinion of the Court, under all the circumstances staled, as connected with the transaction, unwarrantable and reprehensible " As to the third charge, that Captain Jehb is guilty. " The Court having found Captain Jebb guilty, as above stated, do sentence him to be removed from his Majesty's service. " Having thus performed a duty which they have considered themselves called upon to discharge for the due maintenance of discipline in his Majes- ty's service, the Court are induced, from Captain Jebb's length of service, from some ofthe circum- stances which have appeared in the course of this inquiry, and also from the favourable testimonials which Captain Jebb has laid before them, as to his character, humbly, but strongly, to recommend him as a fit object for his Majesty's favourable consi- deration His Majesty was pleased to approve and confirm the finding aad sentence of the Court, but in gra- cious consideration of the manner in which the Court have recommended the Prisoner, his Majesty is pleased to permit him, Captain Jebb, to receive the regulated value of his commissions. I am, Sir, your's, FREDERICK, Commander- in- Chief. To the Adjutant- General. In consequence of the preceding letter, the follow- ing- was immediately transmitted by the Adjutant- General to his Grace the Dnke of Wellington :— ( COPY ) l! or » e Guards, October 5,1822.

DREADFUL A CCIDENT.— It is our painful duty this week to record a most dreadful accident which befel our much respected townsman, Henry Andrews, Esq. while on a sporting excursion, on Saturday last, at The Park, near Oswestry.

A Coroner's Inquest sat on the body ( which was removed to Park Hall), and returned a verdict of Accidental Dentil.— The deceased had served in most of the battles during the Peninsular War, and had received several wounds. He possessed a most amiable and gene- rous disposition, and was highly respected by a numerous circle of friends and acquuiutance. Visiting Clcrgvman this week at the Infirmary, Ihe Kev.

The North Shropshi e Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry^ Sir John Hill, Bart. Lieut. Colonel Com- mandant, assembled for eight days permanent duty on Friday last, at Prees. We hear it has been notified to the tenants upon his Grace the Duke of Rutland's extensive estates, that at the next rent day an abatement will be made in the rents, not as a return by per rentage, but according to the situations and circumstances of the fai- iny ATorfhampton Mercury. A letter from the North states that of Northtlmberland is about to have all his lands valued, with a view to their being let to his tenants at swh reduction of rent as the present low price of agricultural produce renders necessary. Mr. Brandling, and several other gentlemen in Nor- thumberland, it is said, intend doing tiie same thing. Old rope, it appears, is stronger than new. This has been proved by experiments just made at Portsmouth'. Au idea having been entertained that cordage improves by age, the fact was tried by a machine ereeted for the purpose in the rigging loft, before the Navy Board Admiral Sir James Wi. il- shearf, Commissioner Hon. Sir George Grey, Capts Brace, Luring, See. The comparative qualities were tried on' four ropes of 11 inches each, three of Riga, and one of Petersburgh hemp. The first experiment was made on one manufactured in 1822, of Riga hemp ; which broke at 1( 5 tons, 15 cwt The second, on one of Petersburgh hemp, made in 1820, which broke at 13 tons, 18 cw t. The third and fourth, of Riga hemp, the former manufactured in 1815, broke at 1( 5 tons, 18 cwt, and the latter of 1810, which had been iu use Some years, at 20 tons, 12 cwt — A similar experiment was made at Plymouth, « > » » the recent visit of the Navy Board to that port, Hie result of w hich, in support of the present oue, went to prove, beyond doubt, that old rope hears a considerably greater proportion of strength than new.— An ex- periment to ascertain the efficacy of Un iron chain shroud, intended to be used with the iron inasl, which it was calculated could hear the weight thai a ten- inch rope is capable of supporting, Was made at the same time. It broke, however, at seven tons. 16 ewt. which is only considered equivalent to a rope of about seven inches diameter. A machine for the dressing of cloth has recently been erected in Leeds, which does as much in forty- five minutes as two men cpuld do iu two days t CORN EXCHANGE, OCTOBER 7. Having had no arrivals in the early part of the morning from the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts, the Wheat trade was very brisk, and that of fine quality of this year's growth was taken off" on rather better terms than on this day se'nnight; but several land carriage samples from Essex and Kent making their appearance, the trade became very slack, and last Monday's prices were barely obtained for the finest runs; all other descriptions are nearly nominal, quite unsaleable.

When the ; President, according to tbe order prescribed, en- i quired if there were any gentlemen present disposed to deliver their sentiments on the subjects connected with Ihe objects of tbe Eisteddfod, afler a short ! pause, tbe Rev. Thomas Price, of Llangeiiey, came forward, atid spoke much in praise of the ancient British poet Aneurin, and stated it to be bis opinion tbat several of the poems which were usually attri- j buted to Taliesin were tbe productions of that Bard. ; He also observed, in very interesting language, that the literary works called romances, which bad been so celebrated on tbe Continent, had their origin in j this district, where the celebrated Arthur held his i court, nnd instituted the Order of the Round Table, j His address seemed to make a great impression on ! tire audience, and several expressed a wish tbat ifr shotild be printed. On tbe Bards being called upon to recite the 1 verses which they had composed on the occasion of the Meeting, the first delivered was a beautiful Ode, written by Thomas Jones, Esq of London ( Bardtl CloffJ, Treasurer of the RoyalCambrian Metropolitan , Institution. As Mr. Jones was, to his great. regret, prevented from being present by imperious and j unavoidable circumstances, tbe Ode was recited ! with great f ff'ect by tbe Rev. Daniel Evans ( Daniel j Ddu), who also delivered a copy of Welsh verses, by ; the same highly respectable writer, which accompa- j nied it. A beautiful copy of verses, written for the j occasion by Mr. Henry Davies, of Throgmorfon- street, London, was next delivered, in a very em- phatic and appropriate manner, by the Rev. John Hughes, of Brecon, and was received with much applause. Mr. Thom; is Williams ( Gwylym Mor~ ganwg) then came , forward, and recited a set of jEngh/ nion, or Welsh verses, written hy himself; as the sweet and fine harmony the instrument's capable of.

The company were next much amused witli^ the singing of the Pennillion with the Welsh harps, after the manner of the Ancient Britons, and Mr. Parry introduced four stanzas in English, which were written, and intended, among a variety of other Bardic entertainments, to have been sung before his Majesty at Wynnstay last year. Mr. J. Smith was most sweet in " liet> eve me if all those ;" and 44 Hob y dcri dandn," by Mr. Parry & Miss Williams, afforded tbe utmost gratification. A Welsh air, with variations, by Mr. Davies, on the newly invented Cambrian pedal harp, was performed with great brilliancy ; and the Channt of the Bards was sung with noble effect by all the performers. " The living Echo" bv Master Smith, quite enraptured tbe audience, and Mr. Parry displayed astonishing execution on Bainbridge's double flageolet, accom panied by Mr. llayter on the piano- forte.

Williams, Esq. of Langibby Castle, were nominated Stewards for tbe year ensuingv. plause according to their merits. Those persons who j were provided with similar productions were then | requested to defer tbe recitation until the following morning. According to the prescribed order, tbe judgment respecting tbe prize compositions was to be next delivered; and Mr. Thos. Jones, of Liverpool, read tbe report respecting tbe Englyn on tbe Rainbow, in Welsh, which had been drawn up hy the Rev. Walter Davies, one of the appointed Judges for tbe occasion, but who was prevented attending; and a similar port in English was read by tbe Rev. John Hughes, one of the other Judges, wherein it was stated that the compositions were 59 in number, and that tbe one to which the Judges assigned tbe premium was sub- seribed Eiliedydd. On the name being announced, nnd the person who had assumed it being called on to declare himself, no one answered ; and accord- ingly the seal was broke ; and when tbe paper which covered the real name was removed, it vvas discovered tbat the author was Mr, William Williams, of Den- bigh. As be was not present, Mr. Robert Davies ( Robin Ddu) was requested to recite tbe Eijglyn in bis stead, and was invested by Miss Morgan, the amiable and interesting daughter of the worthy President, with tbe Medal adjudged for tbat subject. Tbe judgment given respecting the Cywyddau or Poems, on tbe Overthrow of the Egyptians in tbe Red Sea, was next given ; tbat in Welsh, written by tbe Rev. Walter Davies, was delivered by Mr. Thomas Jones, and the English by Mr. Hughes as before, when it was reported that there were 15 pieces sent in, of various merit, and that tbe composition to which they adjudged tbe premium was subscribed Moesen. On the person being called for, who bad assumed this name, no oue answered, and on break- ing open the seal, tbe author was found lo be Mr. Peter Jones, of Liverpool. As the author was not present, the composition was recited by his friend and acquaintance, Mr. Thomas Jones,, who was in- j vested in bis stead by Miss Morgan, after having being regularly presented to her for that purpose. Respecting the Awdlau, or Odes, on tbe period of the Regency ofhis preseut Majesty, the judgment of the Rev. Walter Davies, in Welsh, and his own re- port in English, were delivered by the Rev. J. Hughes, when it was observed that there were five candidates, all of whom had great merit in their way. Of each of these compositions a particular judgment was given ; that signed Casnodyn, was written in the style and language of tbe llth and I2th centuries, and showed great ability in the writer, but was. not of that kind to come in competition with those written in the language of later eras. This piece has been attributed to Aneurin Owen Pngb, Esq. son of Dr. Owen Pugh, tbe celebrated Welsh Lexicographer. Tbe Ode subscribed Flanesydd was declared to have very great merit, and to be perfect in it&. eompnsiii< H » , and liad it possessed more poetic fire the author would have strong claim to be seated in tbe Bardic j Chair; this excellent piece is attributed to Mr. John i Howells, of Llandovery. The Ode subscribed Gwion ' Bach was staled to have great merit, but had evident marks of haste in the composition ; this piece has been attributed to Mr. Thomas Jones, of Liverpool. Ct/ nfeyn was tbe assumed name subscribed to tbe fourth mentioned, in favour of which much vvas sa-. d, but it was observed tbat although great justice was paid therein to the achievements of tbe British Arms, at Waterloo, nothing was mentioned respecting the glory they gained in the Peninsula. Eryr, or the Eagle, was tbe name assumed by tbe author of tbe fifth or last composition which vvas to be noticed ; when it was observed that be took a daring flight in his progress, and although perfection did not mark his way, yet his strong pinion and grasping talons bore away the premium, and entitled him to be placed in the Chair of Honour. On Eryr being announced, nnd the person who adopted tbe designation requested to declare him- i self, if present, Mr. William Jones, of Dolgeily, came I forward, and said be bad assumed if. Being a young inan, his having written an ode of so much merit so early in life, excited great interest in the company, and repeated bursts of applause followed. After having recited part of his composition, he was in- vested with the Chair Medal by Miss Morgan, and being led by three bards, was placed by them iu the Bardic Chair, having been declared, on account of his production, to be worthy of sitting therein. Willi respect to the Prize Essays in the English Language, the Rev. VV. J. Rees, Rector of Cascob, was requested to deliver the judgment of the Rev. Canon Payne and the Rev. Thomas Williams, which was, that the composition on tbe ancient and present stnte of tbe Welsh Language, signed Cadoc ap Gwynllhv, w<\$ by far tbe best, and was fully entitled, on account of its merit, to the Society's Premium. On the person being called for who had adopted tbe name, the Rev. John Hughes, author of Horse Britannicce," claimed it, who being a native and resident of Brecon, great and just applause vvas elicited from bis fellow townsmen, and tlje various persons acquainted with his merit. Mr. Hughes was then invested with tbe Prize Medal, and proceeded to read extracts from the Essay, which proved his intimate acquaintance with the subject, and shewed tbe opinion of the Judges to be well founded. When Mr. Hughes concluded, the Rev. Archdeacon Davies signified his intention of having tbe Essay printed at his sole expense, as the best compliment be could pay to its merits. Respecting the Essay on the 44 Credibility of the Massacre at Stonehenge, and ihe identity and real character ofthe British Leader Ambrosius" it was stated that the judgment would be delivered on the following day. The subject for ihe Welsh Verses on a thesis which vvas to be given out for the Society's Premium on the first day of the Eisteddfod, and the Composition to be delivered in oil the morning of the second day, was stated to be 44 ' The munificent patronage conferred on the Bards, bij Jror Hael and his descendants of the House of fredtgar :" to which was added another subject for a similar purpose— 44 To the Memory of the late Theophilus Jones, Esq. referring particularly to his zeal in promoting Welsh Literature, and investi- gating the antiquities of his native country Edwards, Mr. Thomas Jones, and Mr. Wm. Jones, recited in succession their respective compositions. A copy of English vers, s on Cambrian Melody, written for the occasion by Mr. H Davies, of Throg. inorton- street, London, were delivered iu a very animated filanuer, and with great effect, by the Rev. W. J. Rees. Tbe Report of the Judges respecting the English Es'say on the MassacVe at Stoneheoge was next read by tbe worthy President, which stated that the Composition signed Rhatadr Gwy was tbe best, but as the author had adopted a theory which v\ as not supported by historical evidence, it was not deemed worthy of the premium; and ac- cordingly the subject was declared to be still open, and the premium should be awarded at the next Eisteddfod at Carmarthen, or wherever if should be i held. The adjudication of the Medal proposed by ! the Gwyueddigion in London not having arrived as was expected, the conferring of it was postponed. Tbe Medal ofthe Cymmrodorion Society in Gwynedd for the best Ode on 44 His Majesty visiting Wales" which bad been awarded to Mr. William Edwards, of Waunfawr, Carnarvonshire, vvas presented to him with the usual ceremony of investiture and recitation. When he had finished, Colonel Parry addressed the audience, and stated that the successful competitor who had been just invested with the Medal, teas only a poor miner, and was working wilh his hands among the rocks, while he was with his mind paying court to the Muses. Mr. Williams, of Liverpool, next deliveredlAi » Address oil tbe subject of toe Eisleddfotl in tbe Welsh language, which much gratified the Cambrian part of the audience. The competition for the Silver Harp then began, when it was announced tbat there were only two competitors, both very young men, Mr. William Williams, of Carmarthen, ii Mr. Henry Humphreys, of Welshpool. Tbe Judges appointed to decide on fhe merits of the performers wpre Mr. Parry, Mr. Havter, and Mr. Owen Jones. Having drawn lots for order of playing, Mr. Williains bad the precedence, and tbe competitors having began, no small interest was excited in ibe audience; each competitor was allowed to play two airs of bis own choosing, and Mr. Williams commenced with 44 Of noble race was Shenkin" with variations, which he played very correctly, and in a manner which did bim great credit; this performance took up seven minutes Mr. Humphreys then came forward, and played 44 Llwyn On" with variations, which took up five minutes, and in his performance displayed great skill and execution. Mr. Williams next chose the air 44 Sweet Richard" to display his powers, and took six minutes in the performance. In playing this piece be showed tbe same correctness and ability as in the former instance. Mr. Humphreys next chose 44 Ar hydy AW," in^ hc performance of which be displayed great tas. t ® ,-- science, and execution, which delighted j all who heard him. On tbe Judges being called upon to deliver their judgment, they awarded the Silver Harp to Mr. Humphreys, and the Second Medal to Mr. Williams, respecting whom it was announced, that only continued practice was wanting to render him a first- rate performer. The singing of Penniliion, or Welsh Stanzas, for the premium which fhe Society had proposed to be given to the best performer, next took place and Mr. Caldecot, High Sheriff of Carnarvonshire, Mr. Parry, and . Mr. Robert Davies, of Nantglyn, were chosen Judges to decide on tbe merits of tbe competitors, who were Mr. Hugh Roberts, of Ruihin, Mr. Evan Jones, of Corwen, Richard Williams, of Anglesey, the latter of whom was blind, and apparently very poor, lu the competition much entertainment was afforded to such of the audience as understood the language and'the merits of tbe performers. Mr. Hugh Roberts sung very chastely, kept bis time well, and followed tbe harpers through all iheir tunes and variations. Mr. Evan Jones was rather deficient in ; time. Tbe blind man sung with greal spirit, and j made a strong impression on the company, but he | vvas rather coarse, and did not change the metre of | bis stanzas, as Hug| i Roberts did, to whom the medal 1 was awarded. The appearance and manner of the j blind Bard excited such a disposition for charity in ! the ladies who were near, that a subscription for him I wns immediately sei on foot, and upwards of £ 6 | collected. A collection was also made to defray tbe expenses of the oilier singers, who, bad come from a great distance in North Wales tn exhibit their powers. The last air which Mr. Humphreys had played previous to obtaining tbe Silver Harp, was again performed by bim at the request of the company. The Rev. John Williams of Lampeter addressed ihe audience on the subject of ihe Society at con- siderable length, aud with great ability. The worthy President also addressed Ihe company, and thanked them for honouring the Meeting with their presence; be then'recommended the next Eisteddfod to be held in tbe district of Dyfed, where he bad no doubt but the proceedings would be carried on with great spirit as ou a former occasion. The Hon. Mr. Rice, M. P. fUen spokeand said that the Cambrian Society would bold the next Eisteddfod at Carmarthen, am! it was the firm intention of his father. Lord Dynevor, the President, to attend, which was much his wish when it was last held there. The Rev. Daniel Evans addressed the meeting on the subject of the Society with great fluency and elegance in the Welsh language, its a lis o / lid Archdeacon Davies, the Rev. Thos. Price,' and (' ol Parry ( of Mndryu), iu English, aud highly delighted all present with the neatness of their remarks, the soundness of their arguments, and the eloquence of their diction Tbe genius of Cambria seemed awakened from a lethargy, and displayed her powers iu strains of oratory which delighted the coin, puny.. When these gentlemen had concluded, the Meeting separated, pleased with the spirit with which fhe proceedings were conducted The number .. assembled on this occasion was about 600, tbe Hall being completely crowded. At tiie commencement of the Concert in tbe even- ing, the Rev. John. Hughes declared that tbe Rev. D. Richards, Mr. Edward Williams, Mr. John Howejls, and Mr R. Divies, hail been appointed to examine tbe merits of tbe Englynion On the subject proposed on the preceding day, and that the suc- cessful candidate on 44 The munificent patronage afforded to the Bards by Ivor Hael and his descend- ants of the House of Tredegdi f1, was the Rev.

Tbe author of the best Englyri, to 44 The Memory of Theophilus Jones" was declared to be Mr. E. Evans, of Berriew School, Montgomeryshire, who canie forward and recited bis composition. When these j proceedings were, gone through, the Concert coin- ! menced, when the performers exerted themselves with similar science and effect to tbat tbey displayed tbe preceding evening. Mr. Tinney sang 44 The. Wolf" with very great effect, and was much applauded. 4,5 New Year's Eve", was' given. by Master Smith and Miss Williams, in a style svveeflv elegant. Mr. Smith sang 14 The Death of Llewelyn" in so excellent a manner that lie vvas encored*,; and received great applause. Mr. O. Davies performed 44 Ye Banks. and Braes" with variations, on the Pedal Harp, with peculiar excellence. Mr. Collyer sang 44 Ellen, dear" very sweetly; and Master Smith so pleased the audience, in singing the 44 Cambrian Minstrel Boy" as to receive loud and continued applause; he was also encored; but on its being represented that lie bad several songs yet losing, tbe company requested lie would not repeat it. Mr. and Master Smith were much applauded in singing tbe beautiful Duet of 44 Roy's Wife" In Sal Margine Drun R o, with variations, and a Polacca for the Flageolet and Piano- forte, performed by Mr. Parry and Mr. Ilayter, the execution much pleased the audience, and great applause followed. In singing the Pennillion, or Stanz'iYs, alternately in Welsh and English, ihe effect was very pleasing ; aud the last Stanza repeated, harmonized for six voices, was truly noble. Messrs. Collyer and Tinney pleased the audience much in 44 7' ell me, where is Fancy bred?" as also did Mr. J. Smith in Dulce D'omum, in which he displayed great powers, and gained loud applause. In 44 We're a Noddin" Master Smith delighted the company, and tbe greatest applause followed. The Concert con- cluded with 44 God save the King " in English and W^ lsb, as oirthe preceding evening. The Company comprised betw een 400 and 500 persons of distinction. Friday morning, tbe performance of a Grand Selec- tion of Sacred Music took, place in St. Mary's Church, for the benefit of the Widows and Orphans of the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Brecon, in which an Overture was performed by Mr. Hayter on the organ in a grand style. Mr. J. Smith, in 44 O thou that tellest," was very fine; and Mr. Col, Iyer beautifully solemn in 44 Lord remember David" Miss Williams and Master Smith sung 44 Hear my prayer" very sweetly, as also did Miss Williams 44 Holy' Holy, Holy,' Lord." Mr. Tinney sang 44 I feel the Deity," with the air 44 Arm, Arm, ye Brave," with great effect ; and Master Smith was very pleasing in 44 The Hymn of Eve." 44 Luther's Hymn''' was finely grand. M r. J. Smith sung44 Waft her, Angels" with charming effect; and Master Smith was beautifully sweet in 44 O magnify ihe Lord" The 44 Mariner's Hymn," newly harmonised by J. Parrv, was grand ; and Miss Williams sang 44 Angels ever bright and fair" very beautifully. 44 The Trumpet shall sound" was given by Mr. Tinney in a sublime manner ; and Mr. Collyer was very pleasing in 44 And God created Man." Tbe Chorus, 4t And the Gtory of the Lord," was given with great effect. The Duet, 44 Here shall soft Charity," was sung witb great expression by Mr. Smith and Mr. Tinney ; and the Grand Chorus, 44 Hallelujah," was delivered with very excellent effect. The performers in general gave pleasure and gratification in tbe pieces they sung; and whether the company heard the sweet notes of Master Smith or Miss Williams, the mellow tones of Mr. Parry or Mr. Collyer, the high notes of Mr, J. Smith or the low ones of Mr. Tinney, they were much pleased Mr. Hayter gave great satisfaction at the Piano- forte aud Organ ; and Mr. Party's excellence, in tbe various departments be undertook, was such as to surprise everyone; Mr. Parry's attention to all the performances was highly laudable ; and it was evi- dent lo every one that the brilliant success of the Eisteddfod, in the musical departments, was in a great measure owing to liis Unwearied exertions ^ Ari excellent sermon on tbe occasion was preached by the Rev. Hugh Bold, from Prov. 22. v. 9, wherein lie showed the duty of alms- giving in general, and ably proved lhat tbe distressed widows and orphans had a strong clami on the protection and liberality of such as could contribute to their relief. After service, plates were held at the- Church door, aud a handsome collection vvas made. Steam— and the Strides it i* making* An ingenious and speculating acquaintance of mine ( says a correspondent to the Carlisle Patriot),' h'aving* lately put forth a project for propelling carnages by steam I come, Mr. Editor, to a little project of my own, in which I will venture to a'ssure myself of your approbation and assistance. Why should the appl ication of steam", as an impulse, be confined to wheel carriages? Why should not; steam- horses— horses on wheels— be contrived?

A Committee of the Society Gwyneddigion preseut was thereupon called, which met at the - Swan Inn, and the naijre Copiedifdd being announced, it was claimed by Mr, Robert Davies, the Bard of Nautglyn, who was pre- sent, and who was accordingly invested with the Society's Medal, representing Hu Gad- am leadin the Cymrn or Ancestors of the Welsh into Britain. During the Eisteddfod the Committee behaved with great liberality towaids tbe Bards, keeping an open table for them at the Swan Inn, where upwards of thirty dined on Wednesday and Thursday, and giving them gratuities towards defraying their other ex- penses.

My fancy, Mr. Editor, takes fire. A cloud ( of steam) is rising before my eyes, through which groups of strange objects present themselves. I see these fiery barbs of my imagination— these Pegasi! ( for there will be pegs i: i them) petted, patronized, pampered! I hear of matches among ihe Fancy— Steamr ag'ainst Time, and Steam the favourite. I shall read in time to come— u Epsom Races— Second day— Sweepstakes of 50 guineas^ For high-- pressure horses, consuming their own smoke, to burn not more than a bushel of coals within the hour— one heat. Three horses started ; Mr. Stokehole's. Explosion, Mr. Ash's Skyrocket, and Mr. Coke's Tinderbox. Tbe race, was won with some difficulty by Explosion. Skyrocket blew up about 100 yards from the winning post : the remains of his rider have not yet been found." Are not these things to hearken to, Mr. Editor?— things catching ? And yet what are even these efforts to some which I anticipate? I see this invention ( as yet in its childhood) rendering Eng;- land, in future wars, triumphant above the world. As our frigates, in dead calms, shall run ten knots an hour against the ships off our enemies, so do I. see the collected flower of ail the cavalry in Europe flying discomfited before steam- charters with British faucers upon their backs, I see m'ore^ Mr. Editor, even more than all this. I see fire horses constructed as we have seen fire ships 1 I see them freighted more formidably even than the famous horse of Troy!— or, rather, what was the horse of Troy but such a horse as I am talking of? lined, allegoricatlv, with living warriors; but i/ r reality stuffed with bomb shells, petards, and Congreve rockets ? I see a gritu squadron of these cattle that I wot of. The firm earth rings beneath their brazen hoofs, and the blue arch of heaven is rent with their snortings ! I see them dash forward in front of* our English lines ; I see them thundering' amidst the hostile' ranks I see them making their way like mad bulls on a Monday ; — I see— what do I see ? Or what, rather, do I not S£ e ? I must bridle my imagination. 1 must leave to tbe slow but certain baud of time the further developement of these great works that shall be ; the world is not yet in a condition to comprehend thein. But a few sentences more, Mr. Editor, and I have done. Tbe advantages which I have already opened as arising out of my friend's plan, are amono- tbe smallest of those which must follow its adoption. Dispensing with the necessity ( except at Astley's) of r-' al horses, what a mine of fresh subsistence do I not open to tbe human race ! Millions of acres now devoted to tbe growth of oats, will be laid down into wheat land, or em- ployed in tbe cultivation of barley; until bread shall he sold at three farthings the pound ; and tbe mere cheapness of malt shall tempt brewers to make their beer of if. Then the saving which will accrue at all points in the general cost of locomotion. What a relief will it be to apothecaries, professors of music, and of dancing, who now keep a carriage with one horse, to be able to keep oue witb no horse at all. Is it nothing to increase velocity and ot the same time diminish the expense r Would it he a trifle to invent steam jack- asses, and to render the Ill- treatment of Animals' Bill a d ad letter ? FORFIGN TALLOW.— A public Writer on this important subject says, 44 At a time like the present, when all the other necessaries of life are falling in price from day to day, it must he gratifying fo the Public to learn, that the foolish attempt fo bolster up a falling market, and to monopolize the article of foreign tallow, has most completely failed ; for the low prices and consequent great consumption of meat throughout the kingdom, have given rise to so large an increase in the home produce, as to render us, for tbe present season, at all events, independent of foreign countries for a supply. The superabundance in many of the populous districts is so large, as to cause the inciters to make consignments lo the London market for sale, and, with the exception of a trifling quantify taken by the manufacturers of soap, ihe demand for foreign tallow, at the present time, amounts to nothing. The stock on hand this day ( last Monday) is no less than tbe enormous quantity of 50,000 casks, and when we take into the account what is now shipping at St Petersburg!!, and other Russian ports, we may fairly expect that the measures which have lately been iu operation will lead to a state of things, for which experience can find no parallel. From the opposition that has been made to counteract the object of this specula- tion, the Russians have, however, derived great benefit: it has enabled them to obtain higher prices than they otherwise would have. done. But severely as the effect of this extravagant scheme will be felt by the mercantile interest, let us hope that the Public w ill derive some advantages from it, in a reduction of the prices of soap and candles, which ought immedi- ately to take place. A loss, in the present instance, of2 fo £ 300,000, will furnish to speculators an import- ant lesson — it will teach them that the times for mono- polies aud extravagant prices are gone past, and tbat there does exist an absolute necessity tbat the trade of this highly- favoured commercial country should be permitted to run ou in its accustomed channels, suiting the supply fairly to the consumption, and governing the prices by the comparative circum- stances of both." VIFIAR OF MADELEY AND THE DUELLIST.—. Mr. Livelier had a very profligate nephew, a military man, who had bpen dismissed from the Sardinian service for base and ungentleuianly conduct. He had engaged in two or three duels, and dissipated his resources in a career of vice and extravagance. This desperate youth waited one day on his eldest uncle, General de Gons, and presented a loaded pistol, threatening to shoot bim unless he would advance him five hundred crowns. The General, though a brave man, well knew what a desperado he had to deal with, and gave a draft for tbe money, at the same time expostulating freely with him on bis conduct. Tbe young madman rode off'triumphantly with his ill gotten acquisition. In the evening-, passing the door of his younger uncle, Mr. Fletcher, he determined to call on bim, and began with informing him what General de Gons had done, and as a proof, exhibited the draft under De Goiis' owu hand. Mr. Fletcher took the draft from bis nepbpw, and looked at it with astonishment— then, after some remarks, putting it into his pocket, said, 44 it strikes me, young man, that von have possessed yourself of this note by some indirect method, and in honesty I cannot return it but with mv brother's knowledge and approbation." The nephew's pistol was imme- diately at his breast; 44 my life," replied Mr. Fletcher, with perfect calmness, k4 is secure in the protection of an Almighty Power; nor will he suffer it t > be the forfeit of iny integrity and your rashness." Till* firmness drew from the nephew tbe observation that his uncle De Gons, though an old soldier, was more afraid of dpatb than his brother-*- 44 Afraid of death !'* rejoined Mr. Fletcher; 44 do you think I have been twenty- five years the Minister of the Lord of life to be afraid of death now ? No, Sir, it is for you to fear death; you are a gamester and a cheat, yet call yourself a gentleman ! you are the seducer of female innocence, and still say you are a gentleman ! you are a duellist, and for this you style yourself a man of honour! Look there, Sir, the broad eye of Heaven is fixed upon us — tremble in the presence of your iMaker, who can in a moment kill your body, and for ever punish your soul in hell." The unhappy mail turned pale, and trembled alternately witb fear and rao- p-_ he still threatened his uncle with instant death. Fletcher, though thus menaced, gave no alarm, sought for no weapon, and attempted not to escape; he calmly conversed with bis profligate relation, ami at length perceiving him to be affected, addressed him in language truly paternnl, till he bad fairly disarmed and subdued bim. He would not return his brother's draft, but engaged to procure for tbe young man some immediate relief; lie then prayed with him, and after fulfilling his promise of assistance, parted with him, with much good advice on one side, aud many fair promises on the otber. Tbe power of courage, founded on piety aud princi- ples, together witb i'. s influence in overcoming tho wildest and most desperate profligacy, were never more finely illustrated than by this anecdote. It deserves to be put into the hands of every self- s; yled 14 man of honour," to show him bow far superior is the courage that dares to die, though it dares not to s n, to the boasted prowess of a mere man of tbe world. Hovv utterly contemptible does tbe despera- tion of a duellist appear, when contrasted with tbe noble intrepidity of such a Christian soldier as tbe huuiUle Vicar of Madeley ! LEATHER..— Since the remission of a moiety of the tax on leather, hides have advanced fiom 10 to 15 per cent. A tanner iu London gains £ 5000, by the reduction of the tax ouly. The Worcester Herald says— u A considerable and most important reduction has heen progres sively bronght about, in the course of the last four years, in the poor rales of the united parishes of this city, resulting from ihe judicious managemen of the Directors of the House of Industry, aud the able and attentive conduct of the Governor. In the year 1817 fifteen precepts were issued, by virtue of which £ 7167. 10s. were raised, averaging £ 550 per month; whereas, we understand, the amount of the precepts issued for the prevent month is only £ 190. 12s. Gd : taking this, there, fore, as the average of their amount for the preceding and remaining months of this year ( which, forthe nine months expired, is, we believe, about the case), as compared w ith the year quoted, there will be shewn a diminution in the average of the monthly levies of £ 360, and, in the aggregate, a decrease of ne^ ly two- thirds in the annual demand upou tbe confederated parishes."

American Papers to the 25th of August have arrived. The following is an extract : New Vorky August ,22.— About eight o'clock last evening a ' fiie broke out at the great depot of naval stores, opposite the Coffee House Slip on Long Island. In a few minutes, several stores and sheds tilled wilh naval stores, & c. were iu a blaze ; the illu- mination. was sublimely grand, and attracted an as- semblage of thousands of spectators. The stores re principally owned by.- Mr. Henry Waring, and were rented by Captains YVaite, and Merry, who had in storage the properly of numerous individuals. We learn that the property destroyed includes Thomas Armstrong's Porter House, and Stone Yards; Mr. Vanileveer's Pol ler House; J . Suttle's dwelling- house; and the stores of'Waring and Kimberly. It is supposed, lhat the buildings contained about 1400 bales of cot- ton, and 12,001) barrels of naval stores; the naval stores may be estimated at about 24,000 dollars, and the cotton at about' 53,000 dollars, making a loss, in- cluding the building, of about. 100,000 dollars A very destructive fire also took place at Balti- more on tbe 19th of August, in which much merchandize was destroyed. Both there and at New Yoik it was supposed that incendiaries had caused the disaster. The Duke of Kent Packet has reached Falmouth from Lisbon, bringing accounts from thence to the j 18th Sept. They announce the sailing of the ex- pedition for Bahia, with 1200 men on board. It had been so long delayed thHt it was a mailer of great doubt in Portugal whether it would be dispatched at all. It is stated, that bul for the receipt of official intelligence from General Millo, the Portuguese Commander at Bahia, pressing for reinforcements, the armament would not have left the Tagus for several weeks subsequently. Brussels Papers to the 28th instant, contain a detailed account of the spirited conduct of Captain Hamilton, of the Cambrian frigate, in resenting an insult offered to the British flag by an Algerine fri- gate, which boarded an English vessel, aud look out of her by force twenty- nine Greeks belonging to the first families in the Morea, who svere on their way from Santa Maura to Zaute. In consequence of ihe warm remonstrance of Captain Hamilton, the Captain Bey issued an order that they should be delivered up, which was reluctantly obeyed by the Algej ine Commander. It must gratify every friend to the progress of human reason to learn that, notwithstanding the difficulties so long considered insuperable, a glo- rious change is effecting in British India. The free press of Calcutta has operated most powerfully in reforming tbe most inveterate and revolting abuses. FOX- HUNTING ANECDOTE-- The late Wil- liam Leche, Esq. of Carden, Cheshire, kept a pack of fox- hounds in that county many seasons, which he bunted himself. In the latter years of his life, he always returned home to his'dinner, whether the sport of the day was concluded or- not, leaving the care of his pack to his first whipper- in, who fre- quently made so many calls on his road to Carden, after a good run, that he was incapable of informing his master of the sports of the day. Being one evening later than usual, Mr. Leche sent for him into his dining- room, aiid . finding him very drunk, told him he might go about his . business, and that he would get another whipper- in. " Very well, Sir," said Sam, " and if you were to get a new huntsman at the same time, it would he quile us well for the hounds." Mr. Leche, being a man of infinite humour, was so pleased with the sarcasm contained in the reply, that Sam continued in his place. SPORTING MEMORANDUMS.— It is stated, in the fck Philosophical Sc Practical Treatise on Horses," that Ogden's ehesuut mare trotted thirty miles in two hours uud Zen minutes. The mare, however, trotted the thirty miles in two hours, winning the match. Mr. Bishop, the ancient and well- known dealer, was present, and from him the following particulars have heen lately obtained :— The match was made between | twenty and thirty years since, by Ogden and Gre j gory, and the mare ( rotted to the twenty- five mile. ! stone on the Hertford Road, aud five miles iu. She The Paris Papers of Friday, the 27th ult. contain accounts from Constantinople, which are dated the, 251 b and 26th August. Those of the former date announce the uninterrupted progress of the Turks in the Morea. It is stated that Demetrius Ypsilanti, himself a Greek leader, bad caused Constantin Negris and Zano, two chiefs j engaged in the same cause, to be arrested in tbe bay of Napoli, and the latter to be beheaded. Both were Members of the Senate. The advices received of the 26th announce the total suppression of the revolt in that province. Several Tartars had arrived the day before with this unfortunate intelligence. Wffen they left the Turkish camp, tiie towns and villages were deliver- ing up the leaders of the revolt. Several Members of the Senate were put to death ; but whether they met their death by means of popular violence or of Turkish resentment, is not stated. The islands,. is aftirme'd, were following the example of the Continental Greeks; and sevcial hail already sent Deputies to the Captain Pacha, with tenders of submission. Against the Persians, the Porte has been less fortunate. The Turks are said to have suffered several defeats, and to have lost two Pachas, who were made prisoners.

In the Police Court of Edinburgh, a case of some importance to ihe Public was decided on the 19th of this month A lady, at au miction of what was stated to be. a bankrupt stock of haberdashery goods purchased two plaids for the sum of £ 2. 8s. 4d These the auctioneer described as consisting of silk, as being of full size, lhat ihey had cost each three guineas, and were generally sold for . Ihree guineas aud a half each. On afterwards examining her purchase, the lady discovered lhat she had been imposed upon by a faise description, the attached fringes and body alone being silk, while Ihe large figured ends and ihe figured borders were of cotton, stud ihey were besides of a smaller size lhan usual. She therefore applied for her money, aud offered back the goods ; and the auctioneer not complying, fthc lodged a complaint against him ; upou the heal- ing of which, the Couit ordered him to restore the price ' " PORTUGAL.— The followiug are extracts from the last Portuguese Papers, relative to the Brazils : Lisbon, Sept. 13.- It is affirmed, and the Astra repeats it, that the house of Duff received a letter by the English packet,' dated Rio Janeiro, July 3, in which it is said lhe Governor of St. Paulo ordered his Piocuradores to inform the Prince Regent, that that province recognised no other authority than that of IheCortes and of the King, and that his Royal Highness ordered the Procuradores to be arrested.

TRIFOLIUM INCARNATUM.— The professor of agriculture and botany in the University of Modena strongly recommends a species of clover that has not hitherto been cultivated in this country, namely thtf Trifolium Incarnatum, or crimson clover. He re- commends this plant as the earliest of trefoils; as the most useful for increasing forage; as requiring only one ploughing and harrowing to cover the Seed ; as peculiarly calculated for dry soils, even gravels: and as preferring the mountain to the plain. It is so hardy, that it may be sown even in autumn, and is stands severe frosts well. If sown in spring, if will yield a good crop that year. Some experiments luive been tried with this plant in Berwickshire, which in a great measure justifies what has beeu urged in its favour; and, on the whole, it seems well entitled to the attention of those who are desirous of promoting British husbandry. Among the number . of British travellers, therefore, who visit Italy, it i « to be hoped that some of them will be induced to send over a quantity of the seed, to be tried on their estates at home. Il would be of great importance, if this species of clover would answer where ihe land will not produce the common red sort, from its having heen so frequently repeated.

The delicacy towards Spain, in whose ports these marauders harbour, which has heen stated in extenuation, cannot beany longer listened to, but these glaring offences, the existence of which brings au opprobrium on the Administration aud the Couutry, must be put down. It is understood the above ships go direct to Bahia. l'he Harlequin sloop of war captured a valuable Tench smuggler* laden with tobacco and gin, off West port, on Thursday last. The cargo, it is supposed, may be worth between 6 and £ 7000. DIED.— On the 25th ult. at Clumber, Notting- hamshire, her Grace the Duchess of Newcastle.— Her Grace was delivered of twins, a boy and a girl, tbe latter still- born, on Tuesday, tbe 24th 1 ult. She was considered better next day, and in a favorable way, but a sudden change took place for the worse Her Grace was Georgiana Eliza- beth, daughter of Edward Miller Munday, Esq. of Shipley, Derbyshire, born June 1, 1789, and mar- ried July 18, 1807. There was issue of this marriage 16 children, 11 sons and live daughters, of whom there are now living nine sons and three daughters; of these, four were born at two births. A MOST REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM AYLES- IIUBY GAOL, AND SUBSEQUENT RE APPREHENSION.— A desperate gang, consisting of three notorious horse stealers, hate for some time heen detained at Aylesbury, to lake their trials on several capital charges, and had, not long since, nearly e flee ted their escape ; but, on the morning of Saturday last, about five o'clock, an alarm was given in the prison that this band of ruffians, wiih one Cotes, under a similar charge, had certainly effected their escape ; aud had, by means of a rope formed of their bedding, descended into lhe public sheet, half- dressed, on the market- day, and made off with great alacrity, to the dismay of two men who witnessed their surprising descent from the upper story of the couuty hall. Au alarm was immediately given, and the number of the pursuers increased every instant, nevertheless the fugitives had not heen much noticed, or their route known, till they had reached the brewery of Messrs. Dell and Co. where the strangeness of their dress, and half- naked state, awakened the attention of those coining to market. Their route was evidently part ofa pre- concerted plan, most ingeniously laid down, aud as dexterously as audaciously executed ; for at Ford- lane, adjoining Bishopstoiie, a company of vagrants had loitered for two or three days, and by their talents in music and mat- making, obtained pity for their forlorn appearance from the neighbour- hood. The prisoners hastened towards this point by the nearest cut. The pursuers, headed by Mr. J. Gurney, of the Bell, at Aylesbury, first discovered and apprehended Melsom, alias Cribb. He was 1809 1810 1811 1812 1813 1814 1815 £ 1742 1362 55- 23 5150 2917 218 6660 1816 1817 1818 1819 1820 1821 £ 1732 1522 849o 2712 4424 824 10 10 " 0 10 10 Thus clearing a sum of £ 43,316, 10s. exclusive of the vast sums won by the private bets which Sir John was accustomed to make when encouraged by his trainer, aud the price for which his race- horses have heen sold. It is confidently asserted he netted • i20,000 by his famous horse Phantom. The great trotting match between Mr. Arhuthnot's Chesnut Mare Fairy, and Captain B. B. Colston'; Bluster for 500 sovereigns, took place on Monday morning over a two- mile piece of ground in Oxley- park, Huntingdonshire. Immense sums were pend ing at even on this match. The start took place at six o'clock to avoid interruption,, which should do the most iu au hour and a half.

SWEEPSTAKES RUNNING MATCH.- A singular match was run on Tuesday over a mile circle on Epping Forest for 75 sovereigns, a sweepstakes of 25 each, between three young Gentlemen, Messrs. Hull, Foster, and Shee. The match was lo run one hour, and Hall was backed at even to win. The race was run us follows. It shall be deemed summer from Mav 1 to Oct. 31, bolh inclusive, aud winter from Nov. 1 to April 30, bolh inclusive.

Dining several 1 days the dog was kept on a chain, to reconcile him to an intimacy with his new master; he was then , left at liberty to range ihe public yard at large with others. There was one amongst his companions who chose to play the tyrant, and he frequently assaulted and beat poor Tray" unmercifully. Tray submitted i with admirable forbearance for some time, but his ! patience being exhausted, aud oppression becoming daily more irksome, he quietly took his departure. 1 Afler an ah^ ence of several days, he returned in company with a large Newfoundland dog, made up directly to his tyrannical assailant, and, so assisted, very nearly beat him to death. The stranger then retired, and was seen no more, and Tray remained unmolested until the return of his master. The landlord naturally'mentioned a circumstance which was the subject of general conversation, ond the gentleman heard it wiih much astonishment, because convinced that the dog had absolutely journeyed into Scotland to relate his ill- treatment, and to be- speak the good offices of the friend who had been the companion of his journey back, und his assistant in punishing the aggressor, ll proved to have been so; for, on arriving at his home in the Highlands, and inquiring into particulars, he found, as he ex- pected, that much surprise, and some uneasiness, had been excited by the return of Tray alone; by the two dogs, after meeting, going off together ; and by tbe Newfoundlander, afler an absence of seveial days, coming back again foot- sore, and nearly starved.— Now here may be supposed to have taken place all lhat Mr. Locke so admirably insists upon, of a distinct association of ideas, because Tray must have reasoned with himself that although his own strength was insufficient to combat with the stronger assailant, w hen aided by a friend lie was more than a match for him; he must have had confidence in that friend ; and he must also have had the means of communicating his wrongs, his desire of revenge, and the menus of accomplishing it.

The receipt is due to Mr. S. Valley sixteen parts of whiting are to be finely powdered und heated to redness, to drive off all the water When cold, il is to be mixed with sixteen parts of black resin, and one part of bee's wax ; tlie latter having been previously melted together, and the whole stirred, till of an uniform consistence. and many heads of parties have had the their men discharged from Iheir engagements hy the Courts of Landrost and Ilemraaden. Even the great Mr. Bay ley's party, consisting- of 100 fami- lies, who came out in the Chapman, and who were the first that arrived, have all disagreed with him, and are free from their engagement. 1 lament to say the liberality of Government to the settlers has been grossly abused, the different articles sent out for the settlers having' been always delivered to the heads of the different parties, who, instead of selling them at the same rate to the settlers, disposed of them to the storekeepers for a great deal more than they gave for them. This arises from Goverment having* directed these goods to be delivered to the settlers for a third ofthe value, which the beads have sold to others at an immense profit: for instance, tents were delivered by the Go. vernment agent at 40s. and sold in the town for £ 5.— beds at 8s. sold for 30s.— blankets 10s. per pair, sold for 40s.— shovels 2s. 8d. sold for 8s.— spades 2s. lOd. sold for 8s.— camp kettles 5s. lOd. sold for 20s.— grindstones with the iron- work were delivered at 9s. 6d. and sold for £ 6, and every other article in the same proportion.— We are much annoyed by wolves, hyenas, and jackalls, who destroy our sheep, and sometimes attack a bullock, if lying down. The bullocks, cows? and calves feed' over large tracts of lands ; at night they are driven home, and confined in what iu here called a krawl, which is made by placiug bushes round tliem ; the sheep are confined the same way, but more secure ; but this is not defence against beasts of prey, who come in rainy weather and dark nights. One settler alone lost in one night 100 sheep by the wolves and jackalls. Mutton is from 2i'L to 2ld. per lb., and beef 2d., but by buying the whole beast the former stands in about i^ d., and the latter Id. per lb. Caudles and soap are Is. per lb. although there is 110 duty on either, and every person can make either. The farmers will bring skins of fat into the market, and sell them for2d. to 2H< 1. per lb., yet no article is sold here under a profit of 100 per cent. I have attended public s; des at Graham's Town, when common white dinner plates have sold for 12s. per dozen, and a dinner set of blue and green edged, imper- fect, and not the best ware, has sold for £ 20, which might be bought in England for £ 3 to £ 4. The duty on all manufactures paid at tbe Cape is 3 per cent, on the value. Clothing of every description is very dear; very coarse cloth is 28s. per ell, which is two- thirds of a yard English. Our situation, I can assure you, is in many respects not very enviable. We poor self- transported settlers, form a sort of boundary against the Caflres, we being on the west side,* and they on the east side ofthe Great Fish River, und can destroy us when- ever they choose to make a pretext for warfare, when they may come 011 us in large bodies ; and although King Kilker and all his tribe are said to be friendly to the English, yet there are six other tribes who are not so, and whom Kilker cannot keep in subjection." had, in the same quarter, secreted himself in a hedge, aud was taken. Brown, alias Cribb ( supposed to be Melsom's brother) kept up with Banks, and made considerable resistance before they were secured. On their return, being asked how they would have managed touching their irons, in case they got off, their reply was very remarkable, viz. " Some hungry dogs would gnaw them oft' in ten minutes." This, bv tfiose who have been most with them, is judged to allude tothe company of miserable wretches, in Ford- lane, who would have sawed them off, and, sheltering them iu tbeir party, have hidden them till night amongst ihe woods about Harlwell. On their return to iheir old lodgings, they were strongly ironed together in pairs, and new means devised lo defeat any further attempt, especially by seclusion from strangers. On examining the Court of Sessions, aud the greater Court in the story above, whence t ie party had come down in the surprising manner already staled, iheir simple instruments of escape were discovered. The first article was a picklock key, fabricated in the prison, of thick iron wire, taken from the rim of a jail saucepan used among the prisoners. The next was an iron bar wrenched from their fire- place, With the first they opened all locks that obstructed them, and with the bar they forced a passage through the ceiling below and the flooring of ihe hall, whence they came to lhe place of their descent. It was remarked by a magistrate, that such ingenuity, agility, and intrepidity, might, in a better cause, have beeu eminently useful to their country ; and well may we exclaim, how fertile is ingenuity when urged by necessity. Oxford Journal. John TTogart ft he Scotch Ad vocal c), and Lord Polkemmet ( a Lord of Session J.— Lord P. usually retired to his country residence during that part of the year when the court does uo business.— John H. equally idle, from a similar cause, went to shoot; and happening to pass Lord P.' s property, met his Lordship, who politely invited John to tak a family dinner with himself, his wife, and daughter. John accepted this invi- tation ; and they all assembled at the hour of dinner. There was a joint of roasted veal at the head of the table, stewed veal at the bottom, veal soup in the middle, veal's head ou one side bf the soup, and veal cutlets on the other, calf's foot jelly between thesoup and roast veal, and veal's brains between the stewed veal and the soup. " Noo," says his Lordship, in his own bluut way, u Mr. H. yo\ i may very likely think this au odd sort of dinner, but ye'll no wonder when you ken the cause of it. We keep nae company, Mr. H. j and Miss B. here, my daughter, caters for our table. The way we do is just this :— we kill a beast as it were to day, and we just begin to cook it at one side of the head, travel down that side, turn the tail, and just gang back again by the other side to where we began." Mr. Slice resigned after completing the eighth mile, and at this time the race became a very interesting one between the other two, Foster being about five yards a head of his adversary, but il was out of his power to get up with him. Foster won ihe race easy at last, by 150 yards. Mr. Barnard West, the pedestrian, started at twelve o'clock on Monday night to go from Ken- sington to Maidenhead Bridge and back, 48 miles, in seven hours, for a stake of 200 guineas. Retting was 6 and 7 to 4 on time. The pedestrian did eight miles in the first hour, eight and a half in the second, and he halted at Slough, having done 19 miles of his match. He reached Maiden- head Bridge in three hours and 18 minutes, fresh. He travelled on- to Colnbrook at the rate of seven miles an hour, and he halted at Brentford, having the last five miles to do in forty minutes. He won the match with great difficulty, having three minutes to spare. A match, which exceeds any pedestrian feat 011 record, took place 011 Wednesday morning, in Cran- bourn Grove, Windsor Forest. Bumstead, a gentle- man's groom, was matched by his master, for one hundred guineas, to run ten miles in fifty- six minutes, which, we believe, was never before attempted. The pedestrian is 20 years of age, and the following is au accurate account of the time each mile was done First mile. Second Third Fourth;.... Fifth M SF. C. 5 20; 5 22 5 31, 5 32 40, M.

The five miles were done in twenty- seven minutes and twenty- five seconds without visible fatigue, but in Ihe ninth mile there seemed something amiss, and betting was two to one on time. It was a momentary loss of wind, which the pedestrian recovered. The performer is a Yorkshireman. Townshend completed his task of walking 1000 miles in 16 days ( one- half backwards) at Man- cluster, on Wednesday week. CAUTION.— It may not be generally known, but it is a fact, that all persons aiding, assisting, or receiving goods, removed where rent is due and unpaid, become liable for the payment of such rent. A MACHINE FOR MAKING BREAD.— A ma- chine has lately been introduced at Lausanne, in Switzerland, for making bread— that is, for prepar- ing the fermentation of the dough— which seems to deserve imitation in other countries. It is simply a deal box, a foot in breadth and height, and two feet in length, placed 011 supports, by which it is turned by a handle like the cylinder used for roasting coffee. One side of the box opens wilh a hinge, lo admit the dough, aud lhe box is lurned round. The time re- quisite to produce fermentation depends on the tem- perature of the air, the quickness of the turning, and other circumstances; but when ihe operation rs performed', it is known by the shrill hissing of the air making its escape,' which generally happens in half an hour. The leaven is always extreinly well raised ; perhaps too much sometimes. The labour is nothing ; for the machine, such as is here described, may be turned by a child. No books, points, cross- bars, or any other contrivance can be wanted without ihe box, to break or separate Ihe mass of dough : for these operations are sufficiently effected by the ad- hesion of the dough to the sides of the box. If the or road materia Post- horses and chaises having passed through any j gate may return toll- free ( the chaises being empty, and without a ticket denoting a fresh hiring) before nine iu the morning of the following day. Horses having passed through a gale, and return- ing drawing a carriage on the same day, or within eight hours after first passing through the gate, the i tolls paid 011 the horses to be deducted.

Penalty, not exceeding £ 5. liaising Water by Boring-— The following is a description of the implements necessary for this oper- ation, and the manner of using them. A circle being dug to the depth of eight or ten feel, ihe first tool used is aw auger; the shell part, which forms the hole or bore in ihe eaith or strata through which it passes, is mostly from three S: a half lo four inches in diameter • the hollow part of ii being about 12 inches in length and constructed nearly iu the form of u carpenter's common auger: There are also a chisel and punch for screwing on, in going through hard gravel or metallic substances, in order to expedite ihe passage of the auger, which could not otherwise perforate such hard bodies. The punch is often used when the auger is not applied, to pierce or open the sand or gravel, and give a more easy issue or discharge to lhe water. The manner of using ihe auger in working of it is simply this :— Two or three men are necessary. Two stand on a stage, erected about twelve or four- teen feet above the ground, who turn it round by means , of a wooden handle, and when the auger part is full, they draw it up out of the hole, and the man below ; clears out the earth with an instrument for ihe pnr- i pose, and assists in pulling ihe auger up out of the : hole or bore, and in directing it into it again; and 1 can alsoassist in turning with ihe iron handle or key, ; when the depth and length of the rods require ad- ; ditional force to perform lhe operation. The work- I men should be careful, in boring, uot to go deeper at ' any one lime, without drawing an exact length of the. shell of the auger, otherwise Ihe earth, clay, or sand, j through which it i » boring, after the shell is full, may 1 make it hard to pull out.— A cylindrical pipe being 1 passed in the hole, and driven downward with a mal- ( let, and the boring continued, the pipe may be forced i down to a great depth, so as to reach ilie water or spring. The pipes should be either of cast iron, or other metallic substance, and made to fit with great exactness the aperture made by the boring anger, or they will not be durable, but speedily become leaky ami out of order. Wells made in this manner are superior to those constructed in the common method, not only in point of cheapness, but also by affording a more certain and constant supply of water. In case the water near the surface should not be of good quality, the perforation may he continued to a greater depth, till ihe pure fluid can be procured. When old wells have become injured or tainted, the bottom may be perforated in a similar manner, so as to reach the lower sheet of water or main spring; the water will then rise in the cylindrical tube in a pure slate, and flow into the body of ihe well or pump fixtd for llie purpose of bringing it up. DUELLING — At the trial of Captain Clark, for the murder of Capt. T. Junes, at the Old Bailey, 26th April, 1750, Mr. Sergeant Hayward, in his address to the Court., as Counsel for the prosecutor, observed, " it appears by the indictment that the death of Captain Junes was occasioned by a sudden quarrel between the parties, hut the fact is other- wise. For the true occasion of this great misfor- tune was a challenge given by the prisoner tothe deceased ; w hich deceased was so imprudent as to accept, and thereby oceasioncd his own death. A challenge may be in writing or by word of mouth, which is the present case; and- the giving or accepting of it will subject either party to the fatal consequences that attend it: if death happen to EITHER, the person who occasioned it will be guilty of murder. ii Before I enter upon the fact itself, I beg to say something in regard to this wicked practice nf duelling, in which the public seems to me so greatly i concerned, that the utmost endeavours ought to be \ used to put a stop to it, as the motives to it, as well j as the practices of it, arc pregnant with danger to 1 civil society. It is shocking to think human nature can be so depraved as to venture upon practices of this kind ; practices that can arise from nothing but implacable malice and revenge, whicb we are so strongly enjoined to forbear, aud to calm and govern our unruly passions. It is said by military gentlemen, that it is inconsistent with their honour to put up with - affronts and injuries, and that there is 110 way for them to resent any insult committed on their honour, but by dipping their hands in the blood of their adversary, ( an excellent doctrine this to gain ground in civil society!) and if ever this nation should be so unhappy as to have such a notion prevail, I think there would be au end of all society. Whether according- to these military notions it can be thought justifiable or not, I venture to say, it is a false and imaginary honour that is the occasion of it, it is against all principles of virtue and religion whatsoever ; the principles upon which it is founded are anli- christian, and the practice diabolical. I have said this, not to prejudice you against the prisoner, but that the public may be acquainted with the heinousness of duelling, in hopes of preventing in future the giving or accepting challenges." SCOTLAND.— It is with much pleasure we extract the following sentences from an address recently delivered by the Right Hon. the Lord Justice Clerk, on dismissing the Ayr Jury. Ad- verting to the very few and unimportant cases that were before the Court of Justiciary, his Lordship observed, that " the lower classes seemed to be again returning to their former sober, virtuous, and Religions habits. In the late Eng- lish Circuits the cases had been fewer, and, in machine be made of greater length, and divided by cross partitions at rigdit angles to the sides, different! . . . . .. c • , • . 1 f 1 .
