KNIGHT), on Tuesday, 1hn 31 si of August. The charitable object of this magnificent entertainment, viz the benefit of tbe poor of the neighbouring parishes, rendered it an object of interest to every class of persons among thi' thousand who enjoyed tbe brilliant spectacle, and partook of the substantial cheer which was liberally provided- both within doors and without for visitors of every description. At two o'clock tlie company began to assemble, and after partaking* of various refreshments the. y were conducted into a magnificent fiowe r- gnrden," where n spacious green- house, and a considerable extent of adjoining lawn on the banks of the Lutw ich, vvere converted into a Bazaar. 7 lie scene WHS enlivened by an excellent band of music,; and arches of laurel interspersed wilh stove plants formed the divisions between the standings, where vvere exhibited an elegant and extensive collection offancy works ofevery descrip- tion, classically designed, aiid inimitably executed, bv the fair daughters of fashion, who gracefully presided over the Hotegns which their own inerito rious industry had furnished for this praiseworthy purpose. Tlie young COinmercialists were selected to the number of twenly- One fronj the families, of principal consltleraiion in tbe neighbourhood. TI e sum of £ 300 was quickly collected, and after par- taking' of l> sumptuous entertainment, the company proceeded to the centre of the park, where many hundreds of. happy individuals were assisting to consume the abundant stores of excellent provision which was profusely displayed, in large tents, placed under the shade of a line of enormous oak trees.— A B. ill succeeded their return lo the bouse ; the amusements of Ibe evening closed by a splendid display of fireworks; and the numerous guests dispersed at. a late hour with Unmixed feelings of gratitude and good- will lo their hospitable enter- tainers.

(, • Melancholy Accident, on. Saturday last. We have lo add another aiHicting instance to the list of accidents from incautious bathing. A Muster Philip Marindin, a pupil of the Rev. Dr. Butler, at theRoyal •• Free Grammar Schools in this town, accompanied by two of his school- fellows, ventured to bathe in the Severn at a time and place fi> rhidden by the Doctor, he un for Innately got out of his depth and was drowned. One of his two companions, who was already in the water, and hastened to his, assistance,: nearly shared the same fate, being entangled with him under water for near three minutes, and only enabled to reach the shore by the prompt and spirited exertions of the third. The body was found after having been about twenty minutes under water, and immediate efforts for his recovery were made by Dr. Jeffreys fof Liverpool, who happened to be near the spot? and Messrs. T Sutton, Evans, and Clement, jnn, and other medical gentlemen of this town, which, we, regtet to say, after three hours' perseverance, were found to be unavailing,— We have been re- quested by Dr, Butler to express his deep obliga tions to the gentlemen of the faculty and all other persons who assisted on this melancholy occasion. HUMANE SOCIETY IN SHREWSBURY— We haye received communications from several of our friends, calling' upon us to urge the immediate formation of a Humane Society in Shrewsbury. iVIost happy are we at all times in recommending benevolent or humane institutions to public sup- port; and after the many, alas 1 too many, awful Calamities that have recently occurred by drowning, are sure we do not say too much, when we express our confident anticipation that such an institution as a Humane Society will be immediately formed in this town. The parishioners of Rodington, in this county, t a vestry meeting held on the 18th of Apiil, IS^ S) nanimonsly agreed that it would be of great service to the poor cottagers to have a Sunday School adjoining the Church; there being about. 87 children in that small parish ( which contains only 1572 acres of land) who must be gratuitously taught to read, if taught at all. I t was also at the same time unanimously agreed to raise the requisite sum for the erection of such Sunday School by subscription ; and Mr.- Edward Git- tins, f Walcot, was, requested to solicit the contri butions of all the freeholders ofthe parish, and of ny other persons who wished well to the increase of Religion as by Law established, Mr. Gittins performed'this Service in so satisfactory a manner, hat, on the lf> lh of August last, the Hon. and tight Rev. ihe Lord Bishop of Lichfield 8c Coven- ry was pleased personally to express to Mr. G. his sincere thanks for the exertions lie had used for btaining the erection of the above Sunday. School'; und his Lordship at the same time gave £ l as his subscription in aid of the benevolent and praise- worthy undertaking. The annual meeting ofthe Whittington Church Missionary Association was held on Monday, August 30th.— Sermons were preached the day fore by the Rev Mr. sJibtborp at Whitlingtou, and by the Rev. Mr. Connor at Selattyn.-— About £ 20 was contributed. A meeting was held in the Town Hall al Wrex- ham, on Monday evening, the 30th ult. for pro- moting the objects of the Church Missionary Society— A crowded assembly listened with deep interest to the accounts given by the respective speakers of the progress and claims of this truly benevolent Institution.—^ The. collection after the meeting amounted to about £ 7. Ou Wednesday last, a public meeting was held gt Nautwieh, for the purpose of forming an Auxi jiary Branch Bible Society for Nantwich and its vicinity ; the Earl of Rocksavage in the chair.-— The meeting was addressed by his Lordship, and by several Clergymen and Dissenting Ministers, & c„ and passed off with the greatest harmony.— Itis calculated that not less than 1500 persons were present. The Earl of Rocksavage was appointed President of the Society. On the occasion of the marriage of Miss Marianne Jetfrej fl, oh Saturday last, the tradesmen and well wishers of the family, at Coton Hill, subscribed to purchase a line sheep, which was roasted opposite the Bird- in- Hand inn, and afterwards distributed, with a quantity of aie, to the poor persons in the ieinity.— The tenantry of W. E. Jeffreys, Esq, at Tilley, and the friends of the, family, at Wem, and in . the- vicinity, also - purchased several fine sheep by subscription, which, with a due proportion of bread and ale, were distributed to the poor of that neighbourhood ; Mv. Wilkinson, of Tilley, gave one barrel of ale ; and the subscription proved so ample, that it was found necessary to assemble, the friends again on Monday last to do justice tothe quantity of Slirop- shise ale, kc. that had been pre- pared to celebrate the happy occasion. SHRKYVSBUKY RACES, which take place on the 21st, 22d, and 23d iust. are advertised in our 3d page. On Friday week, a new burial ground for the parish of St. Lawrence, Ludlow, was consecrated by the Bishop of Hereford. The ceremony wa: very impressive, and was attended by Earl Powis L( » rd Clive, the Corporation of Ludlow,' and a large concourse of respectable inhabitants of that town and . neighbourhood. Committed to our County Gnol, Sampson Shun man, charged with stealing two asses, the propert of James Dutton, of Newport; and Mary Hughes, charged with stealing from Ann Pugh, of the parish' of St. Chad, one pair of trowsers, and othe articles. CHRSTER^ CLTY SFSSTOISTS.— On Saturday last . James Dew; sbury, aged 19, of respectable connexions in Chester, and' an apprentice to a surgeon at Hanmer, was tried on a charge ot forging and uttering a check or order at the' hanking house of Messrs. Williams, Hughes, and Co. for the payment, of £ 25, with an intent to defraud the said bankers. Another count in the indictment charged the prisoner with an intent to defraud Jonathan and Wil- liam Catherall, of . Buckley Mountain, by whom the instrument was purported to be signed.— It was clearly proved that the prisoner presented the check at the bank- ing- house in Chester ; several of the witnesses also expressed their belief that the check was not in Jonathan Catherall's hand- writing; none of them knew William Catherall's hand writing.— On the part of the prisoner, his brother was called to depose to a conversation he had with Jonathan Catherall on tiie subject of this prosecvition, on the 28th ult.. but this kind of evidence was over- ruled.— Thomas Ritson, schoolmaster, of Mold, gave the prisoner a good character.- - The Recorder doubted the sufficiency of the'' evidence'; and the Jury acquitted the prisoner.— [ The. rc is much, mystery in this business: Jonathan and • William Catherall were . bound in recognizances of £ 200 each to appear, and give evidence against the prisoner; but neither of tiiem were forthcoming on the trtyli! The • penalfyof'tl:^ reeogiiizancf's will, however, unfjuestionably There is no circumstance more gralTfyiiVg to the man of taste, than to observe the Arts making their progress and- establishing themselves in ue\ y re- gions; for such phenomena not only announce the aoi. » iue, u « atioii of . th.^ wealth of the country', but ' al » o the march of civilization", lr is, therefore, with peculiar satisfaction that we notice fthe proceedings ofthe Eis; eddfod now holding in Powysland, com- bined, too, jas it on this occasion is with Musical Performances that include almost every thing that is grand, sublime, and beautiful, and to be con„ eluded with a most splendid Ball at Povvis Castle ; thus forming together such a GRAND CAMBRIAN FESTIVAL as that part of the kingdom neither in ancient nor in modern days has hitherto witnessed; but which we hope will, now it has made a com- mencement, be periodically held here, as " in olden tyme1' the Eisteddfod" was in the neighbour- i ig aud then princely domains of Mathrafal; con- vinced, as we are, that wherever Opulence allies itself to Art, the happiness as well as the est. ima. tion ofthe possessors of the one andthe professors af the other will be augmented ; and there needs no argu- ment at the present day to prove the general proposition, that to add to" genuine refinement, is to humanize the mind, and to improve the highest as well as the best pleasures of our existence. Yesterday being t he commencement of this Great Festival, we are in this week's Journal only enabled to give an account of what took place at JVeJsh Pool on its opening that day, and to furnish our readers with the decision of those gentlemen appointed as judges on the compositions and performances 6f, the different candidates, for the premiums offered'by the Committee of Cymmrodorion in Powy's. • The morn of this auspicious day was ushered in by merry rounds upon the new peal of bells pkit up in the Church of Welsh Pool, where had already arrived numberless individuals of various ranks in Society, each anxious to witness the revival of British Melody within the precincts of Powysland. At 9, 10, and il o'clock, the sound of the trumpet gave notice of the hour wbicb the anxiously expected proceedings were to commence, the latter hour being fixed for that purpose, soon after which the Townhail, which was extended and fitted up expressly for the occasion, was filled from one extremity to the other, and presented a grand galaxy of all that is noble or, honourable, respected or esteemed, lovely or beautiful, and amongst them were a numerous body of Bards from all parts of the Principality, each bearing round his arm the colours of the rank he held, whether of. Bard, of Druid, or of Ovate, and several of them distinguished by the honorary medals which previous Eisteddfods had awarded to their respective talent. At about 20 minutes past 11, L - i d Viscount CUVR the noble and worthy possessor of tite aracient Cast if of G wen w y n wvu, a* President, took the chair, and near his Lordship we noticed the. no less worthy La- iy, Limy Olive, as well M the. Conrttess of iVvvis/' Lady' Delamere, Mrs, Panton Corbett, & c. On his;; Lord-- ship's arrival, the Baud of the Royal , Hoi « e Guards Blue immediately struck up. and del; gbtp; d, | he as- sembled company with a specimen rd ' Bisiin- 2uished ability, as they also did at different intervals during the proceedings of ihe mornipg. The President opeued the/ JEisredd^ iJ, , l » y ex- pressing his thanks to the company for placing him '• in that distinguished^ situation, and then said, we are assembled for the purpose of promoting the purity and elegance of the Welsh Language and of Welsh Melody. We are assembled not only for promoting the excellence ofthe language, bat ais< to endeavour to re establish that reputation which ; some centuries ago, had always attached itself to it, s well as to Welsh Music, it is. not necessary for me now to enter into any discussion i> pcn the History and Annals of Cambrian lore— they'; are in the hands; of persons better qualified than myiseif fo lo justice to them ; andjj am happy to observe that some of the most illustrious Scholars in that kind of iterature are assembled around me, : to them do I depute that part of the object of Ibis meeting. With relation to its beauty we only stand in the Principality in that situation which the rest , of tire country do— with the rest of that great empire of which it forms a part— namely, that of having neg- lected it. We are accused of not paying that attention to music which the different nations on the Continent do ; but 1 am happy to say, that within the last few years we have, instead of culti- vating the arts of War, been cultivating those of Peace, and amongst them that of the ancient music of fair Cambria ; and so forcibly has this struck the est ofthe kingdom, that since that period a Musical Society, which has the benefit of Cambria chieffy in its view, has been established in London to do that on a general scale which we do on a smaller one ; nd so far I am happy in being able to state that he example originally set by us has been so promptly followed. And on the present occasion the Committee, who have so well discharged their duty, have assembled here the best of our native artists, to whom they have added the , valuable assistance in the room, us well as some of the most able performers in the kingdom,' thus uniting a proper mixture of Welsh and. EngiMv Mus. tcl The example that will hence be given nvi. 11, I. hop'e,,?- ' udnee some of our Welsh brethren and [ Welsh adies to emulate their science ; and if at a^ yVfuture period Ar kijd // wo? should be. sung % a Welsh adv with all the pathos and excellent of ; H StephenSy or others should imitate the powerful tone and masterly execution of a Linley,^ we shall have succeeded in one of the principal objects we have in vievy— that of placing our native | Welsb brethren in the, most honourable station w: hIdv, as Bards, they would aspire to.. I, will not detain you longer than merely, to express my hopes tiiat some of our learned brethren will do that justice: to- the beauty of our language which they are much bet- ter enabled to perform than l am. ( His Lordship sat down amidst universal cheering,.) ; The Rev. WA- LTKE D'AYIES then deViyered the following elegant historical account of Bardisrn : " The peculiarities of national manners and customs afford matter of curious, if not useful entertainment to the historian, the antiquary, and the general scholar ; amV in evfery insta nce where they have no- tendency to disturb the peace or to corrupt the morals of society, the preservation of such peculiarities should not be unadvisedly, abandoned. " Among the customs peculiar to Wales, that of holding EISTEDDVODAU at stated periods, , for the formation and regulation of laws respecting Bards and Minstrels, Snay Re- traced to a remote antiquity. Our native Prinzes, when not embariissed by domestic broils or attacked b, y foreign for. ee,— and wheri abuses or innovations on the Bardie ftvste'ni required their interference,-- s& eiii ' to , h. ay6 talcen delight ill convening and presiding at tliese national synods. " After the several regulations - made in Bavdi^ n and' Minstrelsy by the - Princes Bled. dyn and Oryffydd ab Cynan, the First Eisteddfod we read of is that under the auspices of Cadwgau, son of Bleddyn, the founder of Cas- tell v Trallwng, " now Po. wys Castle, the seat of our Noble President, and he not the first of the noble family of Her- bert who shed lustre by their patronage on the pursuits of Welsh Literature,. The Ei^ teddfod - ailuded to was'held in great magnificence in the year 1107, at the Castl. e: of A. ber Teivi, novp Cardigan, and then in the possession of the Prince of Powys. Thirty years afterwards, a'Commemo- ration of forty days' continuance was held at Carmarthen, under the patronage of the renowned Gryffydd . ab Rhys, ancestor of the y> resent illustvious representative of the House of BYNEVO.^. Forty years from this.- period his no less renowned son held a more regular Eisteddfod at the Castle of Cardigan, where , the Prince's own ^ domestics excelled in Miiistrelsy, and tile Bards of North'\ Yales in Poetical Composition. - . " In the following century it was the destiny'of Wales to have its si lenced harp hung on the willows of despondency on the fal l of its last Lly welyn. Notwi thstanding,. thishatioii retained their primitive power over the human mind. Of late a few Eisteddvodau were held, and prizes awarded, through the patriotism of the Gwyneddigion Society. However, nothing was attempted, until an accidental spark set once more in motion the'congealed flUid of the torpid nerve of national feeling. " The sixth yeqr from this era of revival is now on its wing, and the progress of an almost unanimous nationality, increasing io volume and celerity as it proceeds from pro- vince to morning' beauty, ; '• LfcY- WELYN! . .. . , . " It is to be regretted that the object which the patrons and promoters of the National Eisteddvod have in view is undervalued, because it. is not understood by many who in other respects may be highly and deservedly respected for Suavity of manners, and liberality ot sentiment. They must sup posethat the object of . the National Eisteddfod is the cultivation and extension o£. the' Welsh to the exclu- sion of the English language. ' This opinion, if it can •' pOSsibly be entertained, is erioneous from its very basis. VVhv shoukV either of the existing languages of this island be cherished to the exclusion or neglect of the other. Let ^ creasing m proceeas rrom province, is proved, to demonstration by this Morning's crowded and splendid assemblage of rank, Oeauty, and wealth, in the Town Ball of TRALLWNG the English language, in progress of time, extend over everv portion of the island: but in saying so much, we cannot wish it to. be done at the expense of the extinction of other living languages. Let the English remain as it is, and as it should," the language of our Courts of Justice, and, if it must be so, the language of commerce also; yea, even of arts and seiences.; The language of Milton and of Pope, of Byron and of Scott, has, and must have its admirers among the most zealous advocates for the pre- servation of the Welsh. The two languages will agree well together, and. may he deemed among the next- of- kin to a caput mortuum ! •' Therefore let us hear no more that the Welsh language is to be, abolished. It cannot be! there are obstacles nsurmountable to its abolition. It has thriven. under the oppression of centuries; and surely the opposition of a day, or of a few who. do not or will not understand it, can never prevail. Like Britain the Great, it strengthens or rather aggrandises itself by colonies abroad. It enlarges its tents and strengthens its cords as far as Chester, Liverpool,. Bristol, and London, and even the banks of the great Ohio ! Let us hear no more, then, of its abolition. Did the waves of the swelling ocean cease to roll at the nod of Denmark and England's Monarch! Comparing great things with small, NO MORE will the Welsh language cease to be spoken and cultivated by thousands of free- born natives who revere it even to a fault, for many of its qualities and properties which are. hidddeu from the eyes and lost to the comprehension of the stranger. Its posss'esors value it as the language of nature'and theVfree gift of heaven. They will not consent to its abolition but with the loss of their existence. There is a NATURAL and a SUPERNATURAL species of prophecy, and by it we may presume to augur, that the Welsh will continue the living language of hun- dreds of thousands of its devotees, notwithstanding the feeble voice of opposition, come whence it may, UNTIL ALL THE LANGUAGES OF, THE GLOBE BE SILENCED BY THE INSTANTEOUS STROKE OF ANNIHILATION. " Omeraid ! dyma'n mawrwaitli— Eisteddfod West, addvwyri v dalaith— Gwalia ' n fonlieaig eilwaith ! Oes y Byd o hyd IU Hiailh ! " Llawen bo'r Aweri yr wyl— Dadebaid Hyd Wybren Feird anwyl— Riioer y Gan Noewlan newn hwyl AnnercbWch hyn Orchwl." G. JONES, Esq. of London, then addressed the meeting, as the representative of the Society estab. limbed in London, and noticed, in au eloquent and appropriate manner, the beauty of the Ancient British Language, which, lie would leave to fight its own battle.— He touched upon various fends which for- merly distinguished the Country, & were inimical to its best interests; excited the parties to banish every harsh or unpleasant feeling, which, he observed Eisteddfodau were well calculated to do; aud des canted hi addition on the benefits that accrued there, from, first to the innkeeper and shopkeeper, thence to she landed occupiers, and thence to the favour of their Lord Protector; and announced the readiness of the Society in London to do all in their power to preserve the nature of ancient British learning. The Rev. T. Price afterwards addressed the meeting; in doing which, in an interesting, beau- tiful, aud feeling manner, he remarked upon the number of years the language of the Cvmry had remained unchanged, and contrasted that circum- stance with what had happened to other people aud other nations, which had been swept away and their name lost to remembrance, whilst those of the Cymry still occupied the self- same hills which their forefathers had done, and preserved their language, character, and territory. This gentle- man then entered into. a long but very interesting historical account of the patriotic exertions of the Cymry, when opposed to the Romans, the Saxotis, the Normans, & c. ; remarked upon the glorious and heroic spirit of Cadwallon, who had fought 14 pitched battles and about 60 skirmishes ; and pointed out the Ancient Britons as being the only nation that had preserved their ancient language, their country, and their liberty, and wild were never tranquillized, even after their reduction in subsequent ages, until they were so by a full & free participation in the rights of Engl shmen, whose, only emulation should be that of patriotism and public spirit, and were so blended and established together by the identity of their rights, that they were virtually the same people. He then noticed the difference in the compositions of different Bards, and expressed his opinion as to their varied character in warlike and peaceful times : and stated that there was no country, that could be pointed out in which the peasantry tools so great an interest in literature as Wales, the number of periodical pub- lications iu which were now by far more than there were of Eng- lish ones iu England 50 years ago. After congratulating the meeting on the proud *' s 1) jUi^ fecfwced agai'ust'them:] # al disaster, the popular predilection for the Ode,. and the Harp wits not totally extinguished. Ail'Eisteddfod, previi ously proclaimed A ' YEAR, AND A T) AY throughout the FOUR Provinces and the Marches, aco'dfdiag' to iittSuemOriftl usage, was held at Carmarthen, under the presidfency . of a descendant of the last- named Princes, - and this during the period of the inveterate struggle for the Crown between the contending Houses of York and Lancaster. ' ;' " When the rival Roses had formed anIMoh?' pd the House of Tudor had leisurely occupied the Undisturbed throne, then it might have been" « xpe'c.$ fedithaf "' the national Eisteddvod would again . have recovered its dwoiri d pppu: laritv. But we read of only two ' Eisteddfod;^; ^ held hi North Wales during the five reigns of this, iathilfand both were held at Caerwys, in Flintshire. • ; " For want of continued patronage, the hatibxial enthu- siasm in the cause of Music and Poetry again-' gradually subsided; until at length it settled in a freezing iklha ol apathy. During the reign of the misguided and unfor- tunate House of" Stuart, little could be expected and sti^ l less was obtained. However, during this gloomy period a fewGORSEDAU, comparatively private, were held ia Gia morgan, the Arcadia of the Principality. " When the House of BRUNSWICK succeeded; the Awen of Cymru suffered still move from the. . paralizing effects of • the protracted contention between the political actors cal'. ed Whigs and Tories. " In some of the interior parts, of the Principality— ill the glens and recesses of Berwyn, Ervri, - and iiiraethog,• where natiVe . simplicity' reigned queen of the national character, and where the demon of. faction, the bus of commerce, and. the dulness. of care never enterel.-- TxM!!, E, and there- only,. or in places similarly, situate, the tinted of the harp arid its concomitant peahill of cheeiful vivacity support it had received, lie expressed his hspes that what was then passing would Create an union and feeling among the powerful, the rich, andthe learned, which would tend to the benefit of the country, as well as of its ancient language and iilelody. Mr. J. Jones fMy\ lin\ Mr. Owen f Meirion), Mr. O. Williams ( Carnarvon), and Mr. Thomas Edwards, of Corwen, then recited in succession, and iu a most animated manner, such verses as they had respectively composed for the occasion, which were received with great applause ; after which the noble President called upon the Judges of the Prose Com positions to deliver in their adjudications ; on which tiie Rev. Rowland Williams,, of Myvod, on behalf of himself and the other Judges, said — 4< My Lord, — I beg leave to make my report of the Essays' which the Committee have done me the honour of submitting to mv decision. I have most gladly availed myself of the permission which they jgave me of calling in the assistance of others, and it is now most pleasing to me to state, and I trust it • will be satisfactory to tlie meeting to hear, that the opinion which will be delivered is not the unsup- ported decision, of an individual, but the unanimous opinion of all, I have great pleasure in adding that the character of all the compositions in every department manifest a decided improvement since the last Pow. ys . Eisteddfod, and prove that our annual meetings have been eminently useful in answering the purposes for which they were estab- ished, namely, that of fostering and drawing forth the native talent of the Principality. " The caui. es and extent ofthe early intimacy and mutual intercourse between the Armoricans and Britons, and the traces of national affinity still ^ existing. between tiieir descendants.'' There are two Essays upon this subject, one by Gorddor brongorfod, and the other by Gwilym Faesyfed. Both are entitled to much praise for having treated this new and difficult subject in a masterly manner, but the premium is adjudged to the author who styles himself Gorddor brongorfod. This was the Ren. T, Price, who vyas immediately invested* with the medal.' f The next subject is, the Propagation and Estab- lishment of Christianity among the Cymry, by the tfiTfe zealous families of Bran ap L'yr, Cwnedda Wiedig, and Brvchan Brycheiniog; there are four Essays upon this subject; by Blegwryd, Myfyr, Gwilyra Faesyfed, and by Llywelyn Gwynn. The three fi/ st. of them are entitled to very great com- mendatiohs, but the premium of the Society is adjudged to to Blegwryd, i\ lf. John Hughes, of Wrexham, late of Brecon, who being absent, the Rev. J. Jenkins was invested for him. The next subject vvas the Welssix Essay on the Welsh Language,— its excellency, the advantage of cultivating it, and the most likely means to ensure its perpetuity and success. There are three Essays upon this subject by. Edevrn Fychan, Robin a^ p Joan ap Goifter, an 1 Lieyv Galyndti u o Llwyuog C'ymru. ' Phe two first ore ekceilent, but ihe pre- miSixi ia adjudged to Edeyrn Fychan, Mr. John Biac/ cweU,, of Berri. ew, late of Moid." The company assembled , were t"). en entertained with some beautiful airs by the Baud '; after which ;• the Tt'e'v-. Walter vies,.. of • ' Manafbn,/ delivered the .. following excell. en'' Report upon tiie Poetical Com- positions; There is scarcely a nation under heaven yvhiv'h has not from the earliest periods of it* entering into social compact produced od. cs, poeisss. - or rhapsodies, from the sublime to the - ridiculous, ac- cording to its respective scale of civiiijutifjUj and everv national poetry has terse or < hi; ne of its'own specific character, The distiuoVsshi. ng character of Cambrian poetry, for - mnv ceniyri. es at leas;, is 1 iv:. of u complicated rhyme caife'd Cynghayed all iter y tive— Symphony of cbos< inHUvs rendered ha'npouion;-, ivy a correspondent antimony of yowel soouth. Whether tltis be the n) Migibte mods of co\ o\) Q Welsh verse is the point at issue between our mo- dern sectaries, We must, however, beg leave to state, that when a happy idea is conveyed by Cynghaned through the auricular portal to the judgment hall of the sensorium, where is seated the angelic rtiiurf, wilh a quickness outstripping the swift- w inged arrows of light—^^ the effect of such a concomitant und in. stantaneous influence upon Cambrian taste is scarcely describable. Oa the proposed subject for the Chair, i( the Destruction of Jerusalem," nine candidates sent in their Compositions.— Amotig the resjt one appeared in a most humble dress and unassuming shape, when, on the point of being; thrown aside, owing to its unpromising exterior, a fragment of detached paper among its paoes apologized for tbe meanness of dress in which the ode was arra> ed, and stated in unequivocal terihs that every item contributing to its forbidding appearance, badness of paper, and incorrectness in' writing— one word being frequently in haste written for another— without being rendered more legible by a comma or a colon — were misfortunes imposed upon the author by dire necessity, he being* poor with a numerous family to support; moved with all these affecting circumstances we could scarcely preserve ourselves from a bias in his favour. We read his ode over several times, and each time with increasing ad- miration of the poor Bard's powers of mind and ideas dressed in elegant language, and the most pathetic strains of genuine poetry. However, we found some obstacles to his taking the chair, which were insurmountable. Therefore we conld not place him among the princes of his people. We had nothing to do but to request leave to recom- mend him to the commiseration of the Committee of the Eisteddvod of Powys. His assumed name is Myrdin Wylt, Myrdin the Wild or Frantic, from the Caledonian Bard ' of- that imuip in the 6tli cen- tury : a Bard whose writing's, still preserved, are irrefragable proofs of the identity of the national lineage of the Caledonians of Tueitus— the Picti of Enmenius— the Briton of tlie South— and line pre- sent Arinoricans of Franee, and Cymry of Wali s. Other Candidates, writing- finder circumstances very different from tliose of humble Myrdin, have exhibited elegance of style, and all other aid which decorate the Muse of other climes. These authors may excel iu Eng- lish or even in Greek and Latin odes : the poetry of every nation has its own peculiar features, and if the characteristics of Welsh poetry be not preserved and adhered to in an ode according- tothe present ruling taste, the author of such au ode cannot be considered as a legitimate rival for the Cudairofan ' Eisteddfod. Another class of Candidates are those who write well in general according to the laws ofCyughnHed, but have not been sufficiently careful in some in- stances to maintain a purity of'diction correspondent to the dignity of their subject. We next come to the Ode, the author of which is entitled to sit iu the Chair of Powys. It was sarcastically remarked by a critic on a poem called " The Pursuits of Literature," published some years ago, " that the author wrote verses to serve as pegs to hang bis notes upon." Our successful Bard cannot be guilty of such a charge, for lie has not added , either preamble or appendix, note or comment. He leaves his serves to explain tlieni selves : and it must, be owned that dark and mys terious is lhat ode which stands in need of prosaic illustrations. He introduces his subject with au abrupt exclamation—" Ah! Dinystr Dinystr yn donnau— a chevelod nchelion ragfuriau." tie then fancies himself seated on an eminence so as to com maud a view of Jerusalem and the surrounding hills and plains with the greatest fervour of admiration. This must have applied to Palestine in its greatest glory, when Solomon reigned supreme from " the great sea to the river Euphrates. His powers of description are admirable: Hiram himself could scarcely have described the ornamental architecture of the temple with greater precision. After in. dulging his Awen for a considerable time iu deli- neation the most beautiful, he stops short, as if horror- struck, in contemplation of the unparalleled catastrophe, which he anticipated would result from the perverse conduct of the Jewish nation, and tbe " sure word of prophecy." During this solemn suspense or interval between the opposite passions of the human mind, joy and sorrow, he introduces a short episode, wherein he invokes the most pro- mi nent objects in nature to maintain silence, aud so as it were to participate with him in his melancholy feel ings. The Mediterranean, Jordan, and even the warbling choristers of the forests of Carmel, are laid under an interdict, while he proceeds to depict the horrors of the approaching- vengeance of heaven upou a city and people devoted to destruc- tion. He describes the approach of the Roman army with the precision of a Polybius and the tire of a Homer, lie does not dwell so long upon the horrors of war, famine, and pestilence as many of his rivals have done, nor does he follow Joseph us so servilely as several of his competitors, nor does he, like tliein, introduce an Epilog'ue on the re- storation of the Jews, the New Jerusalem, or ihe Millenium. Having followed his subject until he found " the city of the great king, the mountain of his holiness," reduced to a heap of rubbish— without a living human inhabitant— the beasts and birds of prey collecting in multitudes to their feast— he no concludes his ode 11s abruptly as he began it. We do not consider this abruptness a defect, but rathe an excellence. The subject before him was the Destruction of Jerusalem, and no more. It is not at all strange that three of the competitors assumed the same signature. We have already given the opening iiues of the successful Ode, " Ah! Dinystr Dinystr yn donnau— a chevatod Ucheliou rag fu riau," that the other Josepbuses may not be led into an error .— Mr. Edward Jones, of Denbigh proxy, Mr. IV. Williams. The Candidates for the second prize, on the Invasion of Anglesey by Suetonius Paulinus, an ihrpe in_ number. The first contents hims. elf with turning into verse the history of that event; and re tailing some speculative and probably unfoundei notions on the polytheism and abominable tiles of the Druids. The second gives a more favourable view ofthe Druidical character: and both entertain the same senlimeuts on the effect of the Hoinan Invasion — the planting of tile Christian religion on the ruin of Druidism. The third lels loose the reins, rather wings of bis Awen, which forms on Ihe g subject a well conceived novel, related in easy no flowing verse. His powers of delineation are con siderahle; and his description of a panorama of landscape and of ihe fleeting golden- fleeced clouds of heaven, fonned by reflexion in the waters of the Menai, stump his character at once as ti poet ot nature. These few lines, were his poem lo have no other merit, are sufficient to gain him the prize.— His assumed name is Amser, Mr. ti'illiam Jones of Carnarvon, late of Dolgelley. On the third subject, the folly of giving credence to the groundless notions of Witchcraft, and other superstitious and too popular errors, six competitors have delivered in their respective Ballads. The in tention in giving out this stibjece was to extricate deluded people of weak or untutored intellect from the shackles of prejudice and the gloom of mental darkness. These songs, once published and learned hy the populace, might haye bail 11 most durable influence on the public mind, bad the writers c. in- filled themselves to the exposing such fallacious credulity to the shafts of well- levelled redienle. Hut instead of this, the writers have uniformly traced the weakness of the human mind in seeking redress from grievances where it cannot he found — at St. Elian's Well and other places— to Ihe agency of the Prince of Darkness, it is lint justice, according to an old adage, that the u Devil should have his due." I: is hut justice also, that he should not have more than his due. The foibles of the human intellect cannot upon iiiiv rational grounds be attributed to him This oversight iu the composers of these songs may he descanted upou with becoming severity, in a critique n no II I hem, when published in some periodical Welsh Magazine. The vesication of the successful writer is un- rivalled in mellifluouijiiess; his signature is Alidad, Mr. Ebenezer ihomas,. of Eviouydd ; proxy. Col. Parry, who on being invested, was placed in the Bardic Chair, and installed by ihe Rev. W. Duvies, upon which tite President observed, tliey could not. place that honour of the Principality in better hands than those of Colo. iel Parry, Colonel PARRY then rose and said, " It is un- becoming' in me to sit silent under the distinguished hoiio; n* conferred upon me in the place of the poor humble individual I reoresent. Gentlemen, in re- gard to that indivHuiil., . to the quarter hb com; f- nil, the country and di. tries in which he reside-.

He then paid a high com- pliment to the Bards around hint, and said, he was always an advocate for the maintenance " of the Genius ofthe Country, for the maintenance of its Music, and for tbe maintenance of its A'rrs, and thought that more encouragement should be given to the innocent pastimes of the country, which tended to keep the mind from mischief . and do good J for when he saw an highlander ixf'jiis na- tive garb, lie could not but associate with his dress the recollections of his valour. He then concluded a- wiost eloquent speech, which want of rooifT alone compels ns to abridge, by congratulating the'Noble President, and every one who felt an interest in the Ancient British language, on the friends and sup- porters thereof which he had the pleasure, of Seeing jefore him, reminding them that it was 110' mean thing for his Lordship to be associated in" recollec- tion with Sir C. Morgan iu one place, and tlie Mar. ~ uis of Anglesea in another; and it was no mean ling for the Ladies to emulate those who'before them had been the means of conferring smiles aud premiums on the poor Bards— no mean thing for them to travel hand ill hand with the flowers of Tredegar. i Two lots of Bards, consisting of four each, per- formed Pennillion subjects, and Mr. R. Roberts evinced his talent on the Harp; after which, MOSTYN PBYCE, Esq lose and said— " I should not, Ladies anil Gentlemen, have pre- sumed to step forward upon this occasion, were there not a siibject, in which I am sure we all feel deeply interested, that appears to, have escaped tbe aotiee of those to whose eloquence we have, been listening with so much pleasute. I do not rise wilh the vain hope that I can do justice to the subject; but thinking that what I say limy be a means of eliciting from others that strain of eloquence. which, in every one who has to boust the powers of oratory, such a subject must naturally inspire, I shall not preface the few remarks that may suggest them selves by an idle profession of want of ability : those who know me are already well Convinced of and those who do not will soon discover it. In addressing such an assembly as I see here, I should, under any circumstances, rise under the pressure of difficulties, but from the multifarious torrents of eloquence that have already been poured forth from so^ many rich sources, these difficulties receive no trifling aggravation. Hud it been uiy intention to have intruded now, it were wise bad 1 taken advan- age of the Heliacal rising, by making inv appear- ance iu the oratorical horizon before the. bright luminaries, in whose light I shall be lost, bad i p pea red. To- day the- praises of Cambria have ndeed been celebrated; the beauty, the force, the purity, and antiquity of her language ha- ve been eloquently pointed out; the varied riclmess and sublimity ot her scenery might have been depicted, I had almost said, in Nature's loveliness.; ( lie pa- triotic ardour of her sons lias beeii" landed ill terms that would arouse the coldest soul to. energy.' Shall, then, the Daughters of. Cambria ( and I hope that all tile Ladies who hear me now will, upon this occasion, fancy at least that, . their veins blush with Cambrian blood), shall the daughters of Cambria be passed in silence by ? Shall those charms, which beam forth with such'unsullied splendour here, call forth our feelings, and not our expressions of adora- tion ? Oh ! that thev, who see no channs but thro* the mist of departed years, who think tbe sun of beauty and of loveliness is gilding this age but with its te'tting ravs— Oh ! that they would but cast a momentary glance over the Powys Eisteddfod ! They would he compelled to acknowledge tbat these lire not, these cannot be the declining rays of parting- loveliness, — not those charms which, like a gleam of rainbow- light, shine but a moment and leave no trace behind,- not the scent of the ros, e when the bloom has passed awav. They would find that there are beings bright and beautiful in Nature as in Romance,— they would find that gentle purity of tender feelings which our aged Minstrels, sang in days of yore,— and when gazing- on eacli Lady here, they would see ^ " The soul brought out lo light each charm, yet independent Of what, it lighted, as the sun That shines on flowers would be resplendent, Were there no flowere to shine upon," ' In a word, they would find " All tliat tlie spirit seeks ill lieav'n ; All that the senses burn for here." The Harp, too, of my country must claim tlis tribute of a passing remark. That Harp which basso oft poured its music to tho mountain breeze, whose melodious sounds we have heard to- dav, will, when we hear its rival tones to- morrow, make us feel the full force of those beautiful lines, and almost ex, claim with the mighty Poet, " My soul would drink those echoes. Oh I that J were The viewless spirit of a lovely sound, A living voice, a breathing harmony, A bodiless enjoyment, born ant| dying With the blestloyes which mado me." Alas ! that the harp of that Poet should be so soon silent in death ! But 41 Every rook and every bill Is busy with its echoes still." Alas! that that Bard, the focus of all the rays of genius, should so soojj have ceased to be a creating energy, and exist now only in the majestic and in- destructible fabrics of his own raising, like the aloe, which seems to collect to itself the fragrance and the richness of a hundred years before it bursts forth into blossom I But I am digressing from tbe subject before us, and am entering upon one, which would soon call forth those feelings, that would tyrannize over the feeble power of utterance. It is time that I should conclude, for 1 have already trespassed too long, much longer LLIAII I intended', and I shall do so with an assertion, iu which I am sure, I shall he borne out by the feelings of all here. Such has been the spirited, the unbounded liberality of our Noble President, such the exertions lit'those to whom the arrangement of affairs upon this occa- sion has been entrusted, and wilh such a splendid assemblage of company have that liberality and those exertions been rewarded, tbat when " years shall have rolled by, with whatever verdure fortune may have decked our path through life, there is not one here, but will look back upon the Pnwjs Eis- teddfod as oue of the greenest spots in Memory's, waste." The Rev. Walter Davies then announced the subjects for Euglynion to he recited this morning previous to the contest for the Silver ILirp, One or two other Gentlemen then shortly addressed tlio meeting, which was closed by tbe Band ' playing " God save the King," accompanied by the vuices of all present. In our next we shall conclude the proceedings of this Grand Festival, which holds sovereign sway in Welsh Pool, where the influx of company of the highest rcspeotability was constant throughout the day, but where comfortable accommodation may he bad at reasonable rates, almost every house in the town mid neighbourhood being in a manner con- verted into a lodging house. All, however, will, we doubt not, be tilled to tbe utmost before Thurs- day, and we would recommend to every one in tho co in try who is au admirer of native genius, of beau- tiful and sublime music, or of fascinating singing, to lose no time iu enjoying the pleasures tlutt are oow as it were brought home to them.

The . poet Gay makes his two heroines in the Beg gar's Opera thnschau'nt in duet: A Curse attends that woman's love Who always would be pleasing!, And in all cases where the parties are under thirty Polly and Lucy, arc unquestionably right. No young woman can retain her, lovers long if she uses them well. She who won hi have her adorer as faithful a'S a dog, mint treat him like one. But when middle aged ladies have exceeded forty, and middle.- aged gentlemen have travelled beyond fifty, ( he case assumes a different complexion. The softer sex is then allowed, and indeed necessitated to throw off little of that, cruelty which is so deucedl v killing at eighteen. What says the Spanish poet ? * Cease then, fair one, cease1 to. shuir me, llere let all our difference cease; Half that rigour had undone me, All th; » t rigour gives me peace. Accordingly it may be observed that women nrali their advances as Time makes his. Ai twenty, whe the swain approaches to pay his devoirs, ihe exclaim with an air of languid indifference, u Who is he ?" At thirty, with a prudent look towards ti ways and means, the question is, " What is be ?" At forty, much anxiety manifests itself to make the Hymeneal selection, and the query changes itscjf into " Which is he?" But. at the ultima ~' ihule of fifty, the ravenous expectant prepares, to spring upon any prey, and exclaims " Where is lie ?" Be that as it may, the numerous candidates for k seat in Seirgea " N" ther. sole'solive- green chariot gradually grew tired ofthe pursuit, and took wing to prev upon some newer benedict. Two only kept fhe field, Frances Jennings, spinster, and Amelia. Jackson, widow, both of whom hovered on the verge of fort v. " It appears to me," said Miss Jennings to a pariicular friend in Bedfoid ph. e, " that Mrs. Jackson does not conduct herself with propriety : she is never out of Mr. Nelhersole's house, and jangles that old harp sichord of his with her ' Love amon, g the roses,' till one's head actually turns giddy."—" I vvill mention it to you iu confidence," said Mrs. Jacksou, oil th very same day, to another particuar friend at the Bazaar iii Sobo- square, " I don't at all approve of Miss Jennings's going- on in ThVistock- street: sho actually takes her work there : I caught her in the t of screwing her pincushion to the edge of Ser- fant Nethersole's mahogany table— what right has " he'to- net him purses?" The contest of work table ersus liarpsiehord now grew warm : betting eveft : w in a criinson puise, and the favour : fhe widow sang " Py eaven and earth 1 love thee," and the Crimson purse icked the beam. The spinster now hemmed half a dozen muslin cravifts, marked N. N. surmounted with pie of red hearts : this was a tremeudoiis body • hut the widow, nothing daunted, drew, from nder the harpsichord a number of the Irish Mel. o- fs, and started off at score with " Fly not yet, ' tis w the hour." This settled the battle at tbe end of e first stanza ; and 1 am glad it did, for really the widow, was growing downright indecent. About this time Love, tired of his aromatic station ainon<>' lite roses," of all places in the world began to take up his abode among the dusty Law Books in the library of Mr. Sergeant NetherSole's chambers. Certain amatory worthies had long slept on the top helfVaffrighted at the black coifs and white wigs of lie ! eo- a! authors who kept " watch and ward" below, In all the dignity of octavo, quarto, and folio. But now, encouraged thereto by the ^ foresaid Ser- geant, they crept from their upper gallery and mixed hemselves wilh fhe decorous company iii the pit and boxes. One Ovidius Nuso, with his A'- t of Love iu is pocket, presumed to shoulder Mr. Espinasse at NUi Pi ins: Tihuli. u; s got astride of Mr. Justice Blackstone : Propertins lolled indolently against n's Abridgement : and 44 the indusfrious Giles Jacob" could not keep hi* two quartos together from be assurance « ><" one Waller, who had taken post tvM'. en ihein. . hi/ hoi t, the Sergeant was in love ! Still, however, I a in of opinion, tliat 44 youth and an excellent const it ut] on," as the novCilists have it, would have enabled the patient to struggle with the disease, if il had not been ( or the incident which I mil about to relate. The Home, Circuit had now commenced, and Ser- jeant Nethersole had quitted London lor Maidstoiio, Miss Jennings relied with confidence upon the occur- rence of nothing particular fill the assizes were over, and iu that assurance had departed to spend a fort- night with a marriedsisteratKingston- upon-' fhames. Poor . iiinocent! she little knew what a widow is equal; to. No sooner had the Sergeant departed in his ilive- o- reen chariot, drawn by a couple ot post, horses, ban the widow Jacksou, aided by At ice Green, acked her portui; Viiteaij,, seiit for a hackney- coach, md hade the driver adjourn to the Golden- cross, Charing- cross. There vsas oiie vacant seat in the Maidstone coach: the widow occupied it at twelve t noon, and between five and six o'clock in the fternoou: was quietly, ( lispatchiflg a roasted fowl ai the Star inn, with oi. ie eye fixed upon the^ gg. saiice, and the other upon the Assize Hall opposite. The lext for this step was double; fhe first count alleged thai her beloved brother lived at Town Mai mere step off, second averred an eager desire to hear the Sergeant p ead. On the " uiug w hicli followed that of ; tbe widow's arrival, the SeTgeant happened not to have any consultation to attend ; and,. what is more reiuarkable, happened t< » be above the affeciation. of pretending that he had. He proposed a walk info the eouuiry : the lady con- sented : they moralised a tew minutes upon the hie jacets in the church- yard, and thence strolled into the adjoining •• fields; ' where certain labourers had piled the wooden props of the plant that feeds, or ought to feed, the brewer's vat, in conical ( queere, comical) shapes, not unlike the spire of the New Church iu Laugham place. The rain now began to fall: one of these sloping recipients stood invitingly pen to shelter them from the storm : 4fc Speluhcam Dido dux et Trojanus." Ah! those pyramidal hop- poles! The widow's brother from Town Mailing was serving upon the Grand Jury : his sister's repu- tation was dear to him as his ow n : 4* he'd call him brother, or he'd call him out : and Nicholas Nether- sole and Amelia Jackson we « ; e joiiied together in holy matrimony. Tiie widow Jackson, now Mrs. Nethcrsole, was a prudent woman, and wished, as the phrase is, to have every body's good word. It was her advice that her husband should write to his niece Mrs. Culpepper to acquaint her with w hat [ ia< l happened. She had in fact drawn up a letter for his sigiiature, in which she tendered several satisfactory apologies for the step, namely, that we are commanded to increase and multiply : that it is not good for a man to be alone : but clnefly that he had met with, a woman possessed of every qualification. to niake the . marriage state happy. u Why, no, my dear," an- swered the Sergeant, 44 with submission to you, ( a phrase prophetic of the fact) it has been my rule through life, whenever 1 had done a wrong or a fool- ish deed ( here, the lady frowned) never to own it : never to suffer judgment lo go by default, and thus remain 4 in mercy,' biif bohny to plead a justification. ! have a manuscript note of a case in p< » int in which I'vvas concerned. In my youth I mixed largely iu the fashionable world, and regularly frequented the Hackney assemblies, carrying my pumps in my pocket. Jack Peters ( he. is now at Bombay) aud myself went thither, as usual, on a moorsshining Monday, and slept at the Mermaid. The Hackney stage on the following morning was returned non est inventus, without giving ns notice of set off; the Clapton coach was therefore engaged to hold our bodies in safe custody, and thein safely deposit at the Flower pot in Bishopsgate- street.;;') Hardly had we sued out our .. first cup of Souchong, when fhe Clap- ton coach stopped al the door. Here Was a demurrer! Jack was for striking out the breakfast and joiuin issue with the two other inside passengers. But I said no : finish the muffins : take an order for half hour's time: and then plead^ justification ! We did so, and then gave the coachman notice of set off,, enteriugthe vehicle with a hey- damine sort of aspect, plainly denoting to the two impatient insiders that if there was any impertinence in their Bill we would strike it out. without. a reference to the Master. Th scheme took, and before yve reached Saint. Leonard's, Sboreditch, egad! they were as supple as « couple of candidates for the India direction. Now that case, my dear, must govern this. Don't say a civil word to Ihe Culpeppers about our marriage; if you do, there will be no end to their remonstrances: leave them to find it out in the Morning Chronicle." 44 This is a very awkward affair, Mrs. Culpepper,' said that lady's husband, with. the Murniug Chronicle in his hand. 4' Awkward?" echoed Mrs. pu I pepper, lasty fellow - he ought to he ashamed of himself! And as for his wife she is no heftier than she sho. uld be !"—^ 44 That may be," said the husband, 44 but we in'dist give them a dinner not- withstanding,"—^ 44 Dinner or no dinner," said the wife, 44 I'll not laugh any more at lhat stupid old stqrv of his about Brother Van and Brother Bear."— 44 Xhen I will," resumed the husband, 44 for there may possibly be no issue of the marriage." Miss Jennings, the outwitted spinster, tired two pair of liorses iu telling all her friends, from Sbuthauipton sjreet, Bloomsbnry, to Cornwall- terrace, in the Re- gent's Park, how shamefully Mrs. Jacksou had behaved. She then drove to the Register- office above mentioned, to transfer her affections to one Mr. Samuel Sniithers, another old bachelor barrister, an inseparable crony of Nethersole's, who, she opined, must now marry ; from lack of knowing wha t^> do with himself. Alas! she was a day too late lie bad that very morning married tfie vacant bar maid at Natido's. When the honey- moon. of Mr. Sergeant Nether- sole was on the wane, .'•'•'•' — - My sprite Popp'd through the tey- hole, swift as light, of his chambers, in order to take a survey of his library. All was once more as it should be. Ovid had quitted Mr. Espinasse, T'bullus and Mr. Justice Blackstone were two, Propertius and Lord Bacon did not speak, and as for Giles Jacob, Waller desired none of his company. The amatory poets were refitted to their upper- shelf, the honey- moon was over, and love no longer nestled iu the Law Books. From Thursday the Hth, to ibe 19th instant, three milch cows, two heifers, and two pigs, have died upon the same farm, the property of William Donaldson and John Wier, both of Kilcarren. These sudden deaths were occasioned by allowing flax- water to run over the pasture, whereby noxious weeds were propagated. Two dogs have since died, by being,, allowed to cat of tbe deceased cattle.—- Newry Puper. CAUTION TO FARMERS' SERVANTS.— Mon- day, John Smith, late servant to Mr. Paul Hackett, of VValesby, farmer, was convicted of misconduct giving his master's draught horses a greater quantity of corn than Mr. H. allowed to be given, thereby causing, much injury to the horses, and • end* ring them u nSt to work for several weeks ; and was punished by a deduction of £ 5 from bis year's wages- .

So grrat an eftect has the most trifling change of soil- ami herbage on the growth of wool, that oil two farms, adjoining each" other, on the South Downs of Sussex, there is anuually a difference in the value of their respective growths of from 3s. to 4s. per tod, even though the ewes from which it was shorn should have been originally equally good as to bleed and staple. This experiment lias been tried, for several succeeding years, by the occupants of the farms alluded to having ex changed, each year, 50 ewes of the same age and quality, and the effect ascertained, by the wool of one of the parcels of ewes invariably improving, the other invariably degenerating. Thin chalky land, covered with a fine textured turf, inter- spersed wilh wild thyme, small wild clover, and eyebright, is that which produces the finest wool It is, indeed, a well kuown fact, that'wool alway becomes coarse, though increased in weight, from sheep being fed on strong land. Hence it is that a Syulli Down ewe produces a fleece full a third heavier, though much coarser, the year she fattened, than in any one that preceded it. hilant demands of the Government; while Ihe mem- bers of the British Embassy were continually solicit- ed to purchase children whose mothers had no means of supporting them, and whose fathers had been forced to join - the Imperial arruv. The oppressive mode cf raising these levies vvus indeed one *> f the principal causes of the deplorable condition to which this empire bad been reduced. Rebellion, in differ- eut: dis! riets, was llie necessary conseqiienee of such a state of things; aud it, of Course, materially in- creased the horrors which e. veiv where prevailed. Captain Canning-, the Ambassador of the Court of Ava, at that period, was informed that dip number of registered houses did not exceed 400,000, which would not give a population of 3,000,000, for a country which could easilv maintain mure than 30,000,000 of ' inhabitants, * The conduct of some of these emigrants, the Mugs, is among the causes of the hostile feeling of the Birmese towards us. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES. A writer in th a Sporting Magazine, who details the events of " a few days at Doncaster" in July last, siivs— " On the 30th, Ihe annual agricultural dinner was held in the Mansion House, lo which sat down abo- nt eighty gentlemen. Mr Foijjvinbe was in the chair, supported on his right by Earl Filzwilliam, Sir VV. Cooke, & c.: on his left hv Lord Allhorpe, Sir Henry Catr Iblieisoii, Sir George Sitwell, & c. The " show" which ( oolt place in ihe forenoon vvas but indifferent, not as lo quality, but quantity. There was a line steer, In longing toand led by the Hon. Mr. Simpson, and a sow bf Lord FiiiSwilliam, both of which gained ie respective sweepstakes. The prizes and sweep- akes were prineipali'y gained hy Mr. Champion, of 111yill, a most exp< rieufe. d breeder and feeder. To I hose wbo are fond of agricultural pursuits, I would recommend ihe inspection'of Mr. Simpson's farming establishment al Bapworth, Kottiugham- h ire. " I was informed that this society was on ihe decline, al which I siin not surprised. If agricultural societies he established for Ihe only good purposes for which thev enn !*• intended— the encouragement f agriculture", and the improvement of stock for the hen'fit of the bonaJide farmei by legitimate meaiti- il fdlows that every deviation from this course defeats ils own end, anil renders such societies u mere nullity, is lo any beneficial effects thai caii arise from theiii. If ' house lamb is IO be fed on cream, and pigs on pine apples',' il mav be all very well for a congre- gntion of, noblemen, and men of fortune, to keep up Hie sb'iiitlecock oTsutli'aii ambition among them- selves • they til list have ii ail their own way, as they would the Dcrhv or Si. Lrgfi-; and the real farmer must retire from the Contest, as from a battle in which he lias no concern, where defeat is no disgrace, aiid victory lid honour. • After ' viewing- the subjeqt in this light, I was much pleased wilii the premium given by Lord Fiiz- william ( the Patron of'tlte Society) 7 for the next meeting, of ten guineas fur ihe liest bull exhibited, being tbe property of a bona fide ftkrme*, who has never won a prize. . The premiums which were awarded lo servants who had lived the longest time in a place— which were gained bv a Thomas Russell, who had lived forty- five years in the same service with a good character; to a Richard Maflhewmun, for having, brought op eleven. children, and placed t seven")!) service, without parochial assistance ; lo a Sarah Turner, for having lived twenty- four years io the saiire service, with a good character ; to a certain shepherd, for having reared 1V) 9 lambs from 133 Southdown ewes— I consider extremely . judi- cious. Although fli? rewards in uo instance exceeded ilit- ee guineas, fhev necessarily excite among the Iihtiuiiuu- classes of Ihe neighbourhood a spirit of . mulation, and, what, is perhaps of more consequence, they prove to those classes, that their superiors, and the'fifst people of the country, have some feeling for their welfare " and prosperity'. When servants, such as those I have enumerated, are introduced into the room after dialler, and receive ( heir rewards from such bands as generally preside at the table, the y must he very ' insensible not to discover that industry arid merit are prized an. t honoured by the rich and noble, ill however humble situations they may be found. ' There is one class of candidates who, in my opinion, did not meet with the intention, 1 will not stiv patronage, which they deserve— and that is, the inventors of Ihe best agricultural implement or machine. It is very true, llial for premiums of this nature, many gimciacks will he brought, forwards, ' which have neither ibe praise of use nor novelty ; hut nieiacks have no oceaaibu to be rewarded • and ill mechanics, bow many stupendous and brilliant dis- coveries have been made from a worse hint than a giipcraek ora toy! Il is the property of geriins lo improve as well as lo invent ; nnd in eases of this sort- all are OTI a level. Here is no milk for oxen, no hasty pudduig for pigs : the plebeian and the patrician may run an equal " ace, and real ingenuity be the only winner. There is one advantage at all events attend- ing agricultural dinners, to which I would draw the atleiirio'n of ihe farmer— of lhat farmer who has re- tired from them wilh silent contempt or expressed disgust; and that is, ihe benefit whicli must aris; e to farmers from meeting each other " en masse." The merchant has his exchange or coffee house, the churchman his synod or convocation, the soldier his parade or levee, " even the player has his green room, aud the fiddler liis orchestra— but the farmer, the poor English farmer, lias nowhere to lay his head, in times of difficulty and danger, to consult with his bridhren. It may iie said he has his corn- exchange, or his market- place : out of London a corn- exchange is scarcely known, and if it be, it is occupied by speculators and factors, rather than by farmers; and for llie general Vui1 of country markets, Ib^ y con- tinue too short a time for discussion, or even the transacting the business ofthe day. VVIiat becomes if the market dinner ? Paying and receiving, smolf- ing, and making of contracts'. Besides, the body nf farmers are divided and subdivided into tens and twenties in every inn or public house in the neigh- boiirhood, of which ten aiid twenty, perhaps the chairman, a mail of old standing, und one or two others, are the only per^ ius who can form or give au opinion. An agricultural dinner is almost the only place where the whole class of farmers can meet together; where ilie bi. glraiid Ihe low, the rich and the poor, may congregate for one common benefit; and where, In times of great agricultural danger and distress, llie latter may derive instruction, and the former hear plain truths." BIR. VIAN EMPIRE. The following is published as a brief outline of the state of the Birmesc, a nation at present in a state of warfare agaiust the British Government in the East Indies:— The Birman army consists of occasional levies and a small permanent force of a very inferior descrip- tion ; some undisciplined native Christians and rene- gadoes, whoact as artillery men ; ail inconsiderable body of cavalry, and about 2,000 infantry, as ill. aimed and equipped as they are undisciplined. The levies are easily raised ou the spur of the moment, as every mail is liable to he called on for military service,' and several of the great proprietors of land hold their estates on military tenure. It is supposed that the largest armies erer assembled hy tbe Bir- inans have not exceeded sixty thousand men, though the numbers of that which lately conquered Asam were much more highly rated in the public accounts. This, however, was probably an exaggeration. The infanlry are armed with swords aud muskets, the cavalry with appear. The latter are all natives of the mountains > of K/ basi, ( Cassay, to the east of Tipurati, Bengal). Their horses are small and not entire, as it is customary with other Orientals. The fleet of war. boats' carries from 40 to 50 rowers each, armed with a sword and a lance. These boats, 500 in number, form n considerable part of the Birtnan force ; each carries 30 soldiers armed with muskets, and a piece of ordnance in the prow. The population of the Birman empire is extremely fluctuating. The means of subsistence and muterials for a liabiiable abode are so easilypror. nred in tropical countries, that the lower orders of inhabitants have a greater facility of withdrawing from oppression than in colder regions less favoured by nature; hence the large and frequent emigrations into the neigh- bouring stales, which occur in different parts of Asia. Hence, likewise, the numbers who have within the last - 20 years passed the eastern frontier of Bengal, and established themselves in any places which they found unoccupied*. The Birman terri- tories were said, in 1795, lo contain 8,000 towns and villages, and the whole number of the people were estimated at. I7,000,000 by Col. Symes ; but a few years aftenwards, that estimate was reduced to 8,000,000 by Captain Cox; and in the year 1809, even the lalter nuinber appeared greatly to exceed the truth. Many large towns had been reduced to paltry villages, and even the hanks of tbe Erawadi had been abandoned by most of their inhabitants.— Ruins, silence, aud solitude, had, even in the neigh- bourhood of the capital, replaced the crowded vil- lages and fleets of trading boats which so lately shewed the resources and industry of the people. Many of these wretched beings were dragged from their homes and publicly sold, to satisfy the exoi- fltif3reiI « nfOM0 Intelligence. The report of the arrival of Joseph Buonaparte ia tiie Crisis from New York is iiiconect ; it was the daughter of Joseph, on her way to Brussels. The Elector of Hesse Cassel was threatened two years ago with assassination, in anonymous letters, the author of which could never be discovered till lately, when it became known, that M. Von Wenger, chief of the police I was the author ; his object wus to raise tbe means of supporting his extravagance, by obtaining secret service money, which he applied to his own use. By letters from China, we learn that the Go- vernment there has made great progress in creating an intercourse w ith the merchants of Europe, by opening their ports to the goods of the different nations, on payment of a moderate duty. The French are stated to have taken advantage of this, and to have commenced a trade of some conse- quence with them. Major- Gencral Turner shortly proceeds to take Ihe command of the troops al Cape Coast; tbe General takes a large detachment of recruits with bini for the Royal African Corps. Colonel Sir Archibald Campbell, K. C. B. of Ihe 38th Foot, is to command the Bengal detichineht - of tbe army destined to act against the Birmese nation, with the rank of Brigadiei'- General. The will of tbe late unfortunate Sir Charles M'Carlhy was registered in the Prerogative Office, in Doctors* Commons, on Ihe 28th ( August I ult. Probate was granted to ltis sister, Adelaide Gue- roult, Countess de Merve, wife of Charles Francois, Count de Merve, as sole heiress and executrix, the property being staled ( within the province of the Canterbury jurisdiction) to be under the sum of £ 20,000. It is contained in a series of papers, marked Nos. 1, 2, and 3— the last being merely an envelope with a superscription, and the first a letter declaratory of the purport of No. 2, which is written throughout in French, and contains all his testamentary dispositions. It consists of three letters addressed to his sister and her husband ; the first of them is dated, like tbe paper writing No. X, the 27111 of October, 18- 21. The tenour of the whole is expressive of the utmost affection and confidence iu the Countess and his brother- in law, to whom he gives the bulk of his property, with certain provisions, at their entire discretion, for his . natural children: of these there are four; be mentions them with much solicitude, and laments his never having formed a lawful connexion: two of them are by the saine mother. The second letter in the testamentary paper No. 2, is dated Ihe 14th of Nov. 1822, and begins in this manner— " Thinking it was my duty to repair to the Gold Coast ou account of a hostile aggression from the Chief of the Ashar. tees, a barbarian to whom they give the title of King, and who iu the bosom of peace has seized aud made prisoner a serjeant, whom he may nvttrder under pretence of his having spoken ill of hi in, ! think proper to inform you," & c. & c. The last of the letters, dated the 29th of October, 1823, at Sierra Leone, consists chiefly of an enumeration of properly, and notices the pro- bability of his shortly having another child, for whom he entreats his sister's kindness and pro- lection. Tbe testator has left annuities of 500 francs and 300 francs to two aunts. The other bequests are very trifling. All tbe documents are ill Sir Charles's hand . writing. POOR LAWS EXPENDITURE.— By the Re- port of the Committee of Ihe House of Commons, just published, it appears, lhat the total sums levied iu ihe years 1822- 3, including county rates, and other charges not appertaining to the Poor, exhibit a declension, as compared with 1821- 2, of £ 863,287; and as compared with 1817- 18, the years of highest amount, a declension of £ 2,422,287. As one cause of the reduction, it is named lhat in 1822- 3 the average price of wheat was 41s. lid. per quarter : in 1821- 2, it was 53s. Sussex still appears as the county in which Ihe expenditure upon the Poor bears the highest proportion to the number of the people; and Lancaster continues at the other extremity of the scale.— The Com- mittee make the following abtractfroin theretur which specify the particular species nf property on which the poor- rates were levied,— The returns are described as very defective.— Lauds Occupied for agricultural purposes, £ 4,602,252: dwelling houses : iud all other inhabited buildings, £ 1,76- 2,950 mills and factories, warehouses, and laud occupied for trade, £ 247,389: manorial profits, fines, quar- ries, & c. and including all other articles locally assessable, uol comprised in the above heads, £ 90,908. THE CAI. EDOHIAN CAXAL.— It appears from the twenty- first Report of the Commissioners for making and maintaining the Caledonian Canal, ( which document was laid before the House Of Commons ou the 31st of May last,) that from the opening of this great National Work, in October, 1822, to May, 1823, thirty- seven vessels passed through it from sea to sea ; and that from the first of May, 1823, to the first of May, 1824, fwo hun dred ? nd seventy- eight vessels availed themselves of this passage, viz. ninety- one from West to East, and one hundred and eighty- seven from East to West. This traffic appears to be gradually in- creasing; and au instance has occurred of a vessel freighted at Riga with flax seed passing through direct to Londonderry.— Besides these passages from sea to sea, since May, 1823, 566 vessels have entered llie Canal for the purposes of Highland traffic ami accommodation, Che greater part of which have terminated their voyages at Foil Augustus, which is situated about thirty miles from each end of Ihe Canal.— The Report adds, that " Ihe variable nature of the winds io the great valley of Scotland which contains Ihe Caledonian Canal, seems to be established beyond further contradiction, three- foorlhs of the 844 vessels which have passed through it having derived no assistance from tracking by horses, or any other means than hy using their own sails. The Atnlanta revenue cutter of 1- 20 tons has lately passed from the East lo the West Sea iu four and twenty hours, not withstanding her having lain at anchor during the night. The usual time consumed in the passage does not exceed three or four days : the average time consumed in the passage by Cape Wrath being as many weeks, and there are in- stances of its extending to three months.— We do not make this statement, Ihey say, to prove thai steam boats will not hereafter be serviceable in towing large vessels through the Lakes, but as a reason why no steam boat has as yet been prepared for that especial service. The demand for such as- sistance must be of frequent occurrence before it iWn be prudent to incur the expense of providing for it.— We intend no alteration in the very moderate tonnage rates at present demanded ( otic His Majesty, on the recommendation of Mr. Secretary Canning, has appointed Lord Erskine Ambassador to the Court of Stutgard. " I n the second yecre of Queen Elizabeth, 1560,' says Stowe, the antiquary, " her silfce woman, Mistris Mountagne, presented her Majestye for a new yere's gift, a paire of black knit silk stockings, the which, after a few days well ring, pleasing her Highnesse so well, that she sent for Mistris Mbiintagtie, and asked her where she had them, and if she could help her to any more ; who answered, saying,' I made them very carefully of purpose only for your Majestic, and seeing these please ynu so well, 1 will presently set more in hand.' ' Do so ( quoth the Qiteene), for in- deed I like, silk Stockings so welt, because ihey are pleasant, fine and delicate, that henceforth L will wear no more cloth stockings;'— and from that time, until her death, the Queeue never more wore any cloth hose, but only si! lie. stockings: for you shall understand that King Henry the Eight, did weare otiely cioatli hose, or liose'cnt oiit iif ellliroade taflatv, or that hy g- reat chance, there came a pair of Spanish silk stockings frbtn Spain. King Edward flie Sixi bad a petyre of long Spanish silke stockings, sent llini for a great present. Dnke's daughters then wore gownes of satien of Bridges ( Bruges), upon solemn ( layes. Cushens, and winduw pillows of welvet and damaske, formerly only princely furniture, now lie very plenteous in most citizen's houses. Milloners or haberdashers had not then any gloves imbroydered,- or trimmed with gold or silke; neither gold nor inibroydered oivdles and hangers, neither could they make any costly wash or perfume, until about the fifteenth veare of tlie Queene, the Right Honourable Edward de Ver'e, Earl of Oxford, came from Italy, and brought with hill) gloves, sweete bagges, a per- fumed leatherjerkin, and oilier pleasant things ; and that yeere the Queeue had a pair of peifumed gloves trimmed only with four lufles, or roses of coloured silk. The Queeue took such pleasure iu those gloves, that she was pictured with those gloves upon her hnudes, and for many veeres after, il was called " the Earl of Oxford's perfume." lu such a chronology of fashions, an event not less important surely was the origin of starching; there we find it treuted with the utmost historical dignity. 41 In the year 1564. Mistris Oinglipu Vanden Plasse, born at, Fcenen in Flanders, daughter to a worshipful Knight of that province, with her husband, came to London for their better safeties, and ihere professed herself.- a starcher, wherein she excelled, unto whom her ovvue nation presently repaired and payed her very liberally for her worke. Some very few of the best and most curious wives at that time, observing the nealnesse and delicacy of the Dutch for ivhitenesse and fine wearing of linen, made them cantbricke ruff's, and sent them to Mistris Diiigheo to starch, and after awhile they made tlieih ruffes ef laeen^ Which was at that time a stuff most strange and wond'erfnl, and thereupon rose a general scoffe, or by- word, that shortly they- would make ruffs of a spider's Web ; and then they began to send their daughters and nearest kinswomen to Mistris Ding- ben to tearne how lo starche; her Usual! price was at that time, four or live pounds lo teach them how lo starch, aud twenty shillings how lo seel'h starch THE TOTLET OF A ROMAN LADY— A woman of quality, on leaving her bed, which she usually d. d about ten or eleven o'clock, repaired to her ball). After remaining there fur some time, where she was carefully rubbed with a pumice- stone, she came fort!) to pass into the hands of the cosmeles. These cosmetes were slaves, who possessed may secrets for preserving the skin nnd complexion, and who de- rived this name from the Greek word Kosrnos, which signifies beauty.— The moment she left the hath, a sort of cataplasm, invented by the Empress Poppen, was applied to her face, which she look off only when slie went abroad, or on the arrival of a stranger; . so that the poor husband cauld never see his wife without her features being covered wilh this mask, which she often replaced in the evening to preserve her face throughout the night from ihe contact of the air,— As soon as she began her toilette, a slave re- moved it, and bathed her face with a sponge steeped in asses' milk, whilst another endeavoured to give to the skin all possible freshness, hy rubbing it, accord, ing- to Pliny, with the ashes of snails, or of large ants, burnt and bruised in salt, with honey in which the bees had been smothered, with the fnl of a pullet mixed with onions, and lastly, with the fat of a swan, to which they attributed the property of re- moving wrinkles. Her next care vvas to efface any red spots, with a piece of woollen cloth, steeped in oil of roses, and to remove freckles Willi a scraping of sheepskin, mixed with the liottey of Corsica, in which was sometimes added tbe powder of frankin- cense.— This operathin finished, a third slave ap- proached, provided with a pair of pincers, with which she mercilessly plucked even the minutest hairs from the face of her mistress.— This duly o the toilette over, thai of tiie teeth commenced. When fresh water was ton ml insufficient to cleanse thein, they were rubbed with grated pumice- stone, marble dust, a method still employed. The use of tooth- brushes was known at that period ; and the coquettes of the lime, like those of the present day, replaced the teeth they lost witli false ones, which were fastened with gold. To heal or prevent chaps in the lips, they rubbed thein with the inside of sheep skin, covered with a gall- nut ointment— or. what was better still, with the ashes of a burnt mouse, mixed with fennel root. Tlie leeih being cleaned, a third, class of slaves appeared to colour the eye- lashes, eye- brows, ami hair, according to the age or taste of the lady. This lltsf part of the operations of tlie toilette ended, a slave spread a red pomade on ihe lips of her mistress to heighten thei freshness nnd bloom, whilst another pr- esenied round mirror, ornamented with precious stones, and held hy a handle of mother of pearl; which mirror, from the want of glass, was formed. of a composition of several metals, to which was given an exquisite polish. They were sometimes so large as to reflect the person from head to foot. farthing per ton per mile) earlier than the end of May, 1825 ; before which time we trust that the Canal will be capable of affording a passage to the largest merchant shipping which may have occasion to frequent it. Indeed we hope to be able to announce, before the end ot September next, lhat ships not exceeding fifteen feet draft of water may be assured of uninterrupted passage; in which case the numerous vessels which may be expected to return from North America to the Eastern Ports of Scotland in the ensuing Autumn will escape the danger and delay of the Northern passage."— The amount of canal dues brought to account during the last twelvemonth appears to be upwards of fifteen hundred pounds, by the head ; and having fully ascertained ( he death of his victim, he proceeded to stretch the body ofthe rabbit, which he very curiously performed, in draw- ing jt hy the bead through a ring formed from the folds of his body; ibis he repeated until the whole was a mass. After lubricating the bead very much but no other part, he proceeded lo swaljow the rabbit, which action he accelerated by pushino-' it down his throat against bis own body, and by a Strong: retraction aud re- expansion of the muscles which lay at the back of the head ; by degrees ihe animal disappeared, until nothing more was visible than a long lump in the snake's throat, which it • inpolled forward by the action of Ihe muscles until t reached the middle of ils body, where it remained Wh is^ thc mode of this animal's taking sustenance • ud if we compare this account wiib those furnished by various writers, and particularly wilh that . riven us by Dr. Wadeod. of the Alceste,. we shall find" tbeiu differ in nowise except in the circumstance of this snake's omitting to lubricate the whole of body of its prev, which, however, may have arisen from the diminutive size of the object upon which it fed • for the ease with which the rabbit was gorged was so great as to lead us to imagine that a dog thrice the size would experience very lillle difficulty in ob- taining a temporary residence in this serpent's maw* There is also in this menagerie one of the most beautiful specimens of lhat harmless reptile ihe harlequin snake, that was ever seen in ifiig counlrv the variety and brilliancy of whose colours are such as to excite the highest admiration in the visitors This is it ntitive of Ceylon, and has been shewn to his Majesty, who was likewise highly pleased wilh its beauty and vivacity.— Morning Paper.

FIRE.— On Thursday morning last, about half- past tliice o'clock, a servant of Mrs, Bold, in Foregale. street, Chester, observed a light it) the adjoining extensive building occupied by Messrs. Parry and Truss, coachniakers; the premises were on fire— an alarm was instantly given; but Ihe utmost exertion could only prevent the fire extend- ing lo the adjacent houses, which were provi. dentially saved;, the premises of Messrs. Parry and Truss were totally destroyed — This is the fourth time these premises have been burnl down : the third time was in February, 1823 ; aud the Chester Chronicle says—" Extraordinary mystery has enveloped the origin of all the fires which have occurred at these works, and we are appre- hensive tlitit they must be the work of some mid- night incendiary. Many remarkable circumstances attended the investigation into ihe last ( third) Conflagration, and more especially do we recollect the testimony given by Mrs. Rryars, 0f Qttecn. street, as lo observing lights iu the'premises during the night ill which Ihey were destroyed. In the present instance a similar indication of persons being in Ihe building, shortly antecedent lo the discovery of the fire, presented itself: a man named Roberts, residing in Brook- street, had oc- casion to accompany a female to obtain medical advice for his wife. It was about half past one o'clock ill the morning, when both of them dis- tinctly saw a light in Ihe rooms, and be ob- served,— it was probably some of Mr. Parry's men finishing a job. It should be recollected that il was ueaily two hours after, before the flames were seen bursting fprlh from Ihe windows." It appears that on Wednesday night, some of tbe workmen were employed on Ihe premises, in finish- ing a carriage for a neighbouring gentleman, and that they left the shop, apparently perfectly safe about nine o clock.— The premises were insured. At set of fellows, who pretended lobe Frenchl men, have lately played off their tricks to advan- tage on some of the respectable families of Exeter, by offering silks, & c. as. Foreign. For some scarfs^ which they called French, they have obtained from three to four guineas each, which, at a regular warehouse, may be bought for 7s. RATTLE SNAKF-.— The Hunlerian Museum. Glasgow, has been lately enriched by the present of a living fatile- sriake, The reptile is enclosed in a large box fronted with glass, defended by grating of wrire. Jt is perfectly lively ; although since its arrival it has taken nothing but a portion of the yolk of two eggs. Living mice dud young birds have been introduced, but without its taking; the smallest liotice of them. Frogs, also • bu they were foupd entwined in its folds, or even perched oti its head, ivithbut. suffering the smallest injury, or so much as attracting its notice, rabbit, however, did not fare so well: the little animal had been scarcely put into the box, when the snake darted at it and bit it— retiring, as it were, at the same moment; and coiling itself up in its folds. The deadly nature of the bite was s » oon conspicuoas. In about a minute the rabbit was seized with convulsions, and, after three minutes more,'- expired in apparently dreadful agony. The snake did not subsequently take tbesniallest notici of its victim, but moved about as though its prison enclosed nothing but itself.— Edinb. Star. THE SERPENTS IN THE TOWER.— The public, we believe, are not generally aware of tlie existence in the Royal Menagerie at the. To Wei- of a very fine collection of that species of snake called the Boa Constrictor. We were induced to attend there'oh Monday last for the purpose of being witness to th mode in Which these animals receive their sustenance and to discover how far the description given by various authors of their manner of disposing of thei prey tallies with what might actually occur under our own observation. . The animal selected by the keeper for the purpose was the largest there, measured, We believe, 10 feet In length, and 7 inches in diameter in its thickest part. Previous to receiv ing- its prey, it appeared very lively, and peered about with its head in all directions, occasioning its body to assume those beautiful enrvations of which the snake species are so capable. On perceiving th approach of the keeper with the rabbit destined for its meal, it withdrew all appearance of vigour and motion ; but the moment the rabbit was placed in the cage, it seized its head with so astonishingly rapid a motion, that the eye could not keep pace with it, and by a simultaneous action of its body, it compressed its folds so tightly round that of the rabbit as to crush every bone that was within its grasp. This rapid change was nervous to behold, and a vivid imagina- tion could not but picture to itself the fearful scene of Crushing and struggling which the seizure of such an animal as a deer or an ox would create by a larger animal of this species. That such scenes have oc- curred, aiid have likewise been witnessed, we doubt not; but until we witnessed the convulsive but in- effectual struggles of the unfortunate rabbit in fhe ravenous and gnarled grasp of the serpent ou this occasion, our conception reached no farther than fhe coiniiion belief attached to the relation of the tre- mendous powers of this species of snake. To enable the snake to g'orge his prey with the greater facility, he was removed into the court- yard, when the glittering of the sun- beams upon his purple scales added much to the interest and beauty of the spec- tacle. When the rabbit was motionless, the snake gradually loosened his folds, still retaining his hold SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.— At an obscure bouse in a court in Piccadilly, appropriated for the purposes of an anatomical school, a poor woman occupies the ground floor, who actually deals in muscles, her husband is a ftowe- meichant, and over the door is a board with this inscription — Mangling done here !
