SIR,— Our Daughter, about fifteen Years of Age, had been drooping, from a Cause we lnile suspected; she was very low iu Spirits, her Complexion very pale, and an habitual Head- ache, attended with Palpitations of Ihe Heart. She appeared cureless of every Object, aud inattentive to those Pursuits to which young Persons are generally attached. In Fact, we were apprehensive that a Consumption had already com- menced. An Acquaintance recommended the Widow Welch's Pills, sold by you, as a proper Medicine for young Women of her Age, and in her Situation ; we accordingly tried them, and by persevering in taking- three Boxes, her Spirits were invigorated, her former Complexion returned, tbe Head- ache entirely removed, and she is now completely restored to Health, Strength, and Spirits. Whatever Use you may make of this Letter, will be equally agreeable lo your Obedient and humble Servants, B.& S. ARMSTRONG. To Mr. B. SHAW.

Several master builders, who bad entered upon wild schcmes for building mansions in fhe environs of Paris, lo accommodate the English, have completely failed in their calculations of John Bull's gullibility. Many of these rash speculators were last week lodgid in the prison of St. Pelajie for their defalca- tions and folly. It is stated, from Dublin, that one ofthe most eminent general merchants of that city has failed. His trade was very extensive, and he was con- sidered a man of the most solid credit. It is added that some individuals will lose by his failure to a very considerable amount. He was agent to a provincial bank, and his stoppage is attributed to the present state of the funds. €!) e Salopian ' journal. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1826.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT, ITF CONSEQUENCE OF A WAGGONER RIDING ON THE SHAFTS.- On the 20th of last month, the waggoner of Mr. Broome, of the' CroWn Inn, Church Stretton, itv getting down from his shafts,, fell Under the Wheels of his waggon, which was Tightly laden, and they passed over bis left hip and right shoulder. The accident occurred about a quarter of a mile 011 the Ludlow side of the five miles stone from I. udlow, 011 the road fo Church Stretton. — The wounded man was carried to a public- house, where he was refused admittance, but obtained shelter in a cottage, after a good deal of delay; and on Christinas- day he was 11 a fair way of recovery— This matter will undergo further investigation, as to an innkeeper being obliged to receive a wounded person under such circumstances. We believe that the landlord was compellable to receive the wounded person, and if he could- not depend upon him, nor on his em- ployer, nor on the man's friends, for remuneration, he might then have applied to the overseer of the poor of the parish in which the wounded man was delivered, and such overseer was bound, prir. ia ctci'e, to relieve and fake care of him, as casual poor, he being irremovable, as passing through, and not resident in such parish.— The carelessness of waggoners, both as to their own safety, and that of tbe public, is notorious, although the law is well adapted io correct the evil.. We have continually to record accidents of toe above description. A few months ago, a waggoner had both his thighs broken by his wheels passing over them at Maes- bury Marsh, near Oswestryr, and is now- recovering, after having been confined at tbe Navigation Inn for 14 weeks,— We daily see waggoners, after delivering a load of grain, returning on a trot with four or five horses- at length; the chains rattling and frightening every horse 011 the road. Now a team of waggon horses on a trot, cannot be consi- dered as properly under the controul of tbe wag- goner, and he is consequently liable to be taken up by any person, and carried before a magistrate to be fined.

The large supplies of last week, and a plentiful arrival of all grain this morning ( particularly Flour coastwise), have caused great heaviness iu tbe Wheat trade, and superfine samples wilh difficulty maintain the prices of this day se'nnight; while the ordinary qualities remain nearly unsaleable. Malting Barley- sells at the prices of last Monday, but far from being brisk. Beans and Peas are Is. per quarter cheaper. Oats are Is. per quarter lower, owing to the magnitude of our supplies. The price of Flour is nominally 60s per sack, 33 the millers seem determined to keep it stationary at that price.

DUEADFUI HURRICANE AT GIBRALTAR.— We have received accounts this tnornkis of a most dis, nstrous buriicatic at Gibraltar, on the night of the 6th December, accompanied with a dreadful destruction of property and lives, increased, we are sorry to say, by the infamous conduct of the Spanish tioups, at a time when the rage of the elements ordinarily' sus- pends human animosities. The following is. a' summary collected tVoui various accounts :- i— The hurricane commenced ou the 6th, at a quarter before eleven ut night, and lasted till three, A M. The vessels « U'ivcn on shore amount to upwards of 200 large and Nmall, besides a great many craft, that sunk at their moorings, having been run foul of. The. lives lost could not be asecitaiued tip to the 8th of December. Tbe day previously seven ( lead bodies were found on the beach, and a few more in tiie evening. The larger class of vessels lost are chiefly Americans, Sardinians, nud Gibraltar - vessels, very few English, a Moorish schooner of war. a* o< l the Columbian privateer General tioublelte. The scene witnessed was most appalling j vessels and crafts torn to pieccs, poor wretches cover- ing the neutral ground with their effects saved from the wrecks of these vessels ; dead bodies lying on the bcach in great numbers,- and the Spanish troops committing cool blooded muiders on the unfortunate and defenceless crew of the Colombian privateer, who, by swimming from the vessel, were ciideavom ing to reach the English lines, and in the act of so doing were fired upon in the water by about 50 Spanish soldiers, and 15 officers uf revenue, Sopie of tbem were saved by the English officers, who, at the. risk of their lives, went iu a boat on board the wreck, and were fired a I by the dastardly Spaniards, About 70 remained on board until the evening, when they deli- vered themselves up to their ciuel peisecutorp, on condition that they should be considered as Colom bians, aud their lives saved, uhieh was agreed to, and guaranteed by the Spanish Consul at Gibraltar.— At C'adiZ, during the same hurricane, the loss bas been tiivial; an American ship and schooner, a Spanish » » hip and two brigiiy a email Dulch vessel, and small fl » a t'l.— Qlvle, An Inquisition was, on Saturday last, taken before S. P. Southam, Esq. at the New Inn, Neenton, on the body of an illegitimate male child, that had been burie'd uearly a fortnightln a garden in the occupation of John Harley, of the Park- Gate, in this county. The Jury, after a most minute investigation of eleven hours, and no evi- dence being adduced that the child was born alive, returned a Verdict of the Concealment of the Birth against the mother, Mary Jones,— Mr. Owens stating, from the length of time that had elapsed and the body fast approaching to decomposition, it was impossible for him or any otl^ er surgeon to form an opinion whether the child was born dead or alive; even in recent cases the usual test of putting a portion of the lungs into water, & c. is so extremely fallacious, that in no instance should the result of such an experiment afford him the least criterion.— The mother was taken into cus- tody under a warrant of Thomas Mytton, Esq. to whom much praise is due for his perseverance on this, as well as every other occasion to promote the ends of justice.— The prisoner is fully committed by the same gentleman to take her trial at our next Assizes for the concealment. On Thursday last, an inquest was held at Quatt Jervis, in this county, before James Milner, Gent. Coroner, and a respectable Jury, on view of tbe body of Sarah Rowley, who, the morning before, was found dead on the road in that parish. After an inspection of the body by a respectable medical Gentleman, and witnesses had been examined, a verdict was returned, " Died by Apoplexy."— The report of the deceased being murdered turned out untrue. A person ofthe name of John Davies was lately committed to Montgomery Gaol, for stealing from a stable belonging to Mrs. Edwards, of the White Lion Inn, in Llansainfffraid, in that county, a new saddle and bridle, the property of Mr. Weaver, of Winslow Hall, in this county. Information was received by the Committee of the Association at Llansaintfiraid, that a person had sold several saddles, bridles, and other articles, in the neigh- bourhood of Llanerfyl and Llangadfan, Mont- gomeryshire ; and a respectable and intelligent man went at their ( the Committee^) request to - make enquiry. He called at several farm houses, and found several saddles; and at length found the saddle and bridle stolen from Llansaintffraid, in the bouse of David Ilowells, of the parish of Llanerfyl, who had bought them from Davies, for two pounds. Ho wells did not know at the time he bought them the name of the mau ; but a man of the came of Thomas Thomas knew him, and he came with the constable from Llansaintlfraid to Shrewsbury, and found him in the Infirmary, whence he was taken before the Magistrates. Committed to our County Gaol, Richard Price, charged with having stolen one five pound and four one pound notes, the property of Joseph Simpson, of Hales Owen ; Jane Cowley, charged with having stolen five jugs, one basin, one pail, two handker- chiefs, and various other articles, and Mary Richards charged with having received the same, the property of John Drury, of Wem. SAVINGS' BANKS. Among alf the bad effects of the late alarm thai was spread through town and country, against Banks and Bankers, perhaps the very worst was the fear inspired into the minds of those who had laid up their money in Savings' Banks. It was well aud truly said by the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his speech in Parlia- ment, on the 21st of February, 1823, that lie deemed these Institutions^ the Savings'Banks, to be among the greatest blessings which have ever been conferred upon the poor, and that he hailed their iwosperous condition as the most unequivocal proof of the jiionU habits, tbe increasing ease, and tbe growing comfort of a large portion of the community." They began several years ago on a small scale? by the advice, of benevolent individuals, and under the care of private gentlemen, who, lo the best of their power, were willing to promote habits of frugality and cconomy in their own neighbourhood. But these gentlemen had not the power of securing money, or making it - bear interest, to so large an extent as soon became neces- sary ; for one parish imitated another parish, and one town another town, until Parliament in its wisdom thought fit to take all the Savings' Banks under its protection, and passed an Act for that pwrpose in the year 1817 ( Stat. 57 Geo. III. c, 130). By this law the Treasurer of the Savings'Bank was required to give security for the faithful execution of his office;. The money put in was to be under the care of Trustees, who were empowered to act for the benefit of the persons putting it in, hut were not allowed to pay it into the hands of any private banker, except small sums necessary for the daily business of the Savings' Bank. The great security given by Parliament teas, that all the money paid into the Savings* Banks should be transferred fur safety to the Bank of England, where a separate account is kept of- it, under ( he head of " The Fund for the Banks for Savings." So long as the money remains in the Bank of Eng- land, it bears an interest higher than can now be obtained by buying into the Stocks. As these advantages given to Savings' Banks are intended only for the benefit of the poorer classes, it has been thought right not to allow any one person to put a large sum into a Savings' Bank; and therefore by an Act of Parliament, passed in 1824 ( Stat. 5 Geo. IV. c. 62.) it is provided, that no person from ( he present time, shall put in more than Thirty Pounds in one year, nor more than Two Hundred Pounds in all. During the late alarm, some persons who did not understand the nature of. the Savings' Banks, drew out their money, intending to put it into the Bank of England for safety, not knowing that it was there already. Some of these persons were robbed of their money by pick- pockets or otherwise. Some spent their money, or threw it away in idle and unprofitable schemes. Some bought into the Funds with it, and found to their surprise that they could not get so gobU an interest as in the Savings' Bank ; and also learnt that they could not be sure of getting the same sum out which they had put in : for if the Stocks fed from .82 to 56, the seller would lose £ 32 out of bis £ 82, whereas in a Savings' Bank, he would be sure;, of having bis whole sum with interest. Lastly, some who drew out their money from the Savings' Bank, wished to put it in again, but could not, because it was more than the law now allows to be put Fine Flour 55s to 60s per sack ; Seconds 50s to 55* SMITHFIELD ( per st. of Sid. sinking ojal).

J.&. J. SIVEWRICHT in forming this, TIIEIR FINAL SCHEME, Have been studious to retain all the approved Points of late Lotteries, many of which were first adopted by themselves; and being eminently successful in the Sale of TWENTY THOUSAND POUND PRIZES, they have, to meet the desire of Correspondents, introduced ZM IHE FIRST NUMBER of the LI- . TERARY GAZETTE for 1826, being- No. 468, will be published on Saturday, January the7th. The unparalleled success of this work, which pos- sesses the most extensive circulation ( embracing every part of the civilized world) of any Literary Journal ever published in Britain, renders a formal intro- duction of a New Volume unnecessary. But it may be proper to remark, that the increase of connexion and means, obtained through such extensive patronage, fwis led to improvements being made and new depart- ments added, hitherto unattainable by any publication, though confessedly necessary to the completeness of a work professing to form a register of every thing worthy of notice in Literature, Science, and the Arts,— and, iu fact, to be a progressive History of Human Knowledge and Discoveries during the period it embraces. Every weekly number consists, with the exception of extracts from new books in the Reviewing department, of entirely original matter — the different Arts and Sciences, each treated by per- sons of distinguished eminence in tbe particular branch — Correspondence from all the Chief Seats of Learning Intelligence in Europe — Original Poetry, Rssays, Varieties, Notices of Actors, and the Drama, & c. & c. : the whole ( beautifully printed in a clear type,) comprehending reading equal to about Three- Tenths of a common- sized 8vo. volume— ihe year's volume, consequently, to as much as Sixteen Octavos. So strikingly is this shewn that several Series of Papers, and volumes of Poetry, which have originally appeared in the Literary Gazette? of which they only torured small porimns, liav » sine ® Wn ^ mblW& a separaie ly, and become highly popular at a cost amounting to ihe whole price of the periodical whence they were taken. The Literary Gazette is published every Saturday morning, 011 stamped paper, price Is. and sent, like a Newspaper, free of postage, throughout the kingdom and abroad.. Under tbe title of the London Literary Gazette, another, mid unstamped Edition, is published, price only Hd for the particular advantage of those who reside in London and its vicinity ; and these Numbers may also be reg ularly had of the principal Booksellers throughout alt the towns in the kingdom. The Literary Gazette is also published in Monthly and Quarterly Parts, for the convenience of exporta tion, and to suit those who have only occasional opportunities of receiving it. Lastly — The Volumes for Each Year, which are individually complete, may be bad with titles, in- dexes, & c. formiug together an authentic and valuable Register for future reference. The Volume for 1825 is now ready for delivery, price 36s. At this period it is earnestly requested that Num- bers, & c. required to complete preceding volumes may be secured without delay. From New Subscribers wishing to commence with 1826 early orders will be obliging, as tbe necessary arrangements for tbe adequate annual increase of Numbers depend on them. Persons residing in the country are requested to give their orders to any Newsman or Bookseller in their own immediate neighbourhood, and to be explicit in regard to tbe title of the paper, the Literary Gazelle.

Llanfyllin, 13th December, 1825. VVc understand, from indisputable authority, that the bankruptcy of Messrs. Wentworth and Co. will appear in the London Gazette on Saturday next, and that the Commissioners will meet at Wakefield in January and February. The follow- ing is stated to be a correct account of the state iu which the banking establishment is at the present time:— The property of tbe Bank, and the debts owing to them, independent of the | ife interest iu. the entailed estates of Messrs. Weutworth and Company, amouuts to £ 954,000; and that the Bank was indebted on the notes issued by them, aud on the bills of exchange accepted by them, together with the deposits and balances in their hands, in the sum of £ 697,000, leaving a balance of £ 257,000 ill their favour.— York Chronicle, Dec. ZQ. A Committee of the Creditors appointed to ex- amine into the affairs of Messrs, Gibbins, Gillett, and Tawney, of Banbury, have reported that the assets of the concern, without resorting to the private property of any of the partners, are con- siderably more than sufficienttoanswer all demands upon it; but they do not recommend the re- opening of the Bank until the 15th of February, when the greater part of the bills iu their possession will hav. e become due. The Dorchester bank resumed its payments on Saturday last, and such is the high opinion enter- tained of the firm, that their notes are received without the least hesitation in all parts of that country.— Exeter Flying Post. We have authority to state, says tbe Leicester Journal, that Messrs. Clarke and Phillips are making up their accounts to the 31st instant, which will then be submitted to some of their principal creditors," under whose sanction . they intend to wind up their affairs and discharge all demands upon them, as speedily as the nature of their assets will permit. On Wednesday last, a Very numerous and respect- able meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Sansotne and Blakesley, of Hinckley, was held at the Town Hall, in Hinckley, fo take into consideration the affairs of their Bauk. The Ilev. J. Dyke having been called to the chair, opened the business of the meeting in a short but appropriate address. Messrs. Sansome and Co.' s Solicitor detailed to the meeting the state of the Bank, by which it ap- peared that their debts were £ 73,669.0s. 7d. aud their credits £ 71,913.10s. 8: 1. leaving a deficiency of £ 1755. 9s. lid. This bank, our readers will recollect, was shut up in consequence of Sir P. Pole and Co.' s suspension of payment; but it was • tated at this meeting, that though there would probably be no loss on that account ( except that occasioned by the deiay in liquidating the balance), it had been determined 011 investigation of the batik accounts, not to open it again; the business of the meeting, therefore, was merely to arrange the best mode of winding up the concern. Li order to liquidate the small balance above- mentioned, and also to guarantee and expedite the general settlement of affairs, Messrs. Sausome & Blakesley offered to place in the hands of trustees not only the partnership effects, but also private property to the amount of mors than £ 30,000. This offer was received with acclamation, and seven neigh- bouring gentlemen of respectability aud property were elected Trustees. The creditors assembled expressed their entire satisfaction with the conduct of Messrs. Sansome and Blakesley throughout this' unfortunate business, and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting was dissolved.— Leices- ter Journal. A meeting of the principal creditors of Messrs. Simpson & White's bank was held at Peterborough on Wednesday, when a full exposure of the affairs was laid before them for investigation. The highly satisfactory fact was ascertained, that wheu ali the claims 011 the bank are paid, which will be in twelve mouths from this time, there will be a surplus of £ 40,000. The advances made by the bank, and still outstanding as due, are stated to amount to £ 103,000. Through the noble liberality of Earl Fitzwilliam, payment of the one- pound notes by the bank is already making. — Ibid. Oa Tuesday, a meeting of the inhabitants of Gloucester took place, at which the following gratifying statement of the affairs of Turner, Turner and Morris, was produced: — The Most Noble tbe. Marquis of Stafford, during the trying lime of public credit, has come forward in' a way worthy his rank and character, and put bis name at the head of a most respectable list, plcdgiuj* biinsclf to support tbe. provincial Banks of tbe neigh- bourhood ami receive their notes; aud the Most Noble ihe Marquis of An^ lesca, Earl Dartmouth, Viscount Duofey and Ward, Lord Hagot, with other Noblemen, have given the high respectability of their names for the same purpose. We can also stale from authority, that the Most Hirble Ihe Marquis of Slaf. ford and the Right Isouo'. irable Ihc Earl of Darlingtim have, for the accommodation of ibvir tenants et: a their connexions, postponed the day for receiving their rents which fail due at this period of I'. ic year. These are instances of noble and patriotic conduct, which cannot fail to be applauded by every one w It j feels au interest iu Ihe welfare uf his country. ^ bou. t two o'clock 011 Saturday m'orning last, n. party of six poachers were observed iu tbe grounds in front of tbe ball of Clement Sivetenham, Esq. of Somerforit Booths, bv the gamekeepers of C. W. J. Sha'kerley, Esq', of Somerford Hall, who informed Ihe keepers of Mr, Swetenham. They went lo the spot from whence the firing proceeded, and soon came in contact w ith the poachers, who appeared lo be drawn up with their guns shouldered to act on the defensive; one of tbeni, John E. idley,- uf Siddiugton, took de- liberate nim at and shot one of the keepers 111 the right hand and thigh— Ihe tiiau 1I1113 wounded, seized the person who tired,' when a desperate struggle tool; place, and both fell into Ihe river Dune.. Assistance being at hand, ihis poacher 9111! another of the gang,- George Oukes, of Siddiiigton,' were secured. They underwent examination 011 Muni! - v, and were com- mitted to Chester Castle. We are glad to learn lhat the man who was shut, is not seriously injured. SILK THADF.— The Macclefield Herald says, 14 11 is exceedingly irksome lu us to be continually recurring to the deplorable stale of the silk manufac- ture in this town and its vicinity. How many working people will he discharged this night we can- not say ; but at present there are not less than 8,00lj men,' \ vomeu, aud children, either wholly out of em- ploy, or put upon such short allowance uf work, and at such reduced prices, that Ibe parish must souti have a burden thrown upon it, which will be insup- portable. ' il is painful to know that itidu.- iriouS families deprived uf employ, are now subsisting by selling or pawning their clothes, u resource whicitr must soon fail ill vol." £ uuioi; s PAIR OF SCISSORS.— The smallest pair of scissors probably ever made, is now in the pos- session of Mr. Thomas linber, culler.

A dissolution of the partnership between Messrs. Turner and Mr, Morris has taken place. The cause of the failure of the Wellingborough I bank arose from a truly distressing case. The nephew ! of one of the partners was dispatched to town for resources, which he obtained to the amount of £ 80,000, to meet any run upon their bank; instead however, of immediately returning wilh it, he has absconded. Many of tbe country papers contain notices, issued by Noblemen, Gentlemen, and Traders, He daring their confidence in particular Banks. The effect of these notices have been highly beneficial; they have checked a panic which threatened the most disastrous consequences; they have stopped runs which had begun on several substantial firms; and they have restored tranquillity to the alarmed mind, and security to the intercourses of commerce. Dorms the height of the late panic, the Captain of a Severn Barge thus wrote to his Owner:— 44 I teak the Operlunity of righting to you and to Let' yon No that i Gome to Gloucester this Day with the Sally Ahaught 5 aclock If the wind Dus not blaw i Shall Com with A horse as fast as posable 1 have Got Plenty of Muney but Cant Pas Non for the Bils is Sloped at Everry Pleas" On Thursday, a meeting of the creditors of IVTessrs, Garrett and Son, of Hereford, took place at the Black Swan, in this c* ity. A statement was made by Mr. J. E. Gough. From this document il appeared the notes of the firm in circulation amounted to £ 21,700, and the other claims, including accepted bills, to about £ 2,150, making a total of £ 23,850. To meet these demands, after allowing for bad debts, there appeared sufficient funds, and a balance will remain in favour of the firm, independent of the private property of the partners, to the amount of neaily £ 700 after all claims are paid— Hereford Journal. We have great pleasure iu recording the following act of feeling—- we allude t'o a tender tirade to one ot our banks during the height of the panic on Thurs- day last, by John Hugh Smyth Pigot, Esq.^ P Biock ley Court and Wraxall, to transfer £ 150,090 in the stocks, in case its partners found av » y S& ditional funds necessary to meet the demands which are making upon it.— Bristol Journal.

Death passing through all the Signs the Zodiac of Vanity; STANZAS ON THE YEAR 1S2 5-- For what, gay friend ! is tliis escutchcon'd world,- Which hungs out death in one eternal night; A night, that glooms us in the noontide ray, And wraps our thoughts, at banquets, in the shroud"? How many ! since last annual sna- ils swift' career began, Have life's contracted circle ruti, And measiir d out their span! They did not augur such a fate; Tin y did not, last new year , Then giddy riot kept the gate, Though death was in the cheer ! Gay hope illuinM the ardent breast; Love ianguibird in the eye ; Pleasure's soft plume adoru'd the crest j But death was in th v. joy! Lute, lustre, beauty, wine und oil, 1 Dress, odour, sauce and sweet, Th1 enamel d path of life beguile, Hut death was in the Irtut ! Along the maze of life they skipp'd, In sweet delirious trance ; Till up their heels affliction tripp'd, For death \ t? is in the dance ! They built a lodge in Edendale, InwreathM with many a flower; But found, shall sorrow teil the taie ? That death' was in the bower ! The harp and viol, in the feast, Each charming strain prolong ; Apollo's son, Dan Moore,, was priest, But death was in the song ! The florid drama gave delight, Thai magic circle gay ; Bcgnilingoft the livelong night, But death was iu the play ! And many a pilgrimage they made To fashion's shrine so fair ; In costly elegance array'd, But. death held Levees there ! They sought a bliss beneath tlie sun, In birth- night, mask, or ball ; Through every si'jn of folly run, But death was in thein aU ! Ah ! where are now those dreams of gold ! Ah ! w hv re the laugh so loud ? 7' he dashing beau in death is cold ; The fair one in her shroud ! Then, lovely youth, l< redeem the time !•" The moral of my t heme ; Give God the rose- bud of thy prime, Life is a passing dream ! plants, upon the general plan of a mixed plantation, st emed to answer much better. But still the oak appeared stunted and unhealthy. The failing plants had been removed, and vacant spots filled up with varied success, but without any satisfactory result up to fhe year 1810. i About this time Mt. Robert Turned, who had a few years previously been appoiutecLdeputy- sur- veyor of the INew Forest ( the principal executive officer), commenced a new system of raising oaks, which has since been generally practised in the Forest liiclosnres; a system which promises great success in the present plantations under his care, and which win, in my humble opinion, prove to be one of the most valuable disco y'eries in the annals of planting. ' u The Scotch fir plantations, being at that time about .12 feet high, and forming an united head, were thinned out by cutting away alternate rows, and thus set out 8 feet apart; with this caution, to leave the broadside to the south- west, and to save the end trees of the rows so cut out. The vacant places were then filled up with oak plants, 4 feet high,- in holes dug 4 feet apart, commonly in the mouth of December. At the end of the first year, the branches ofthe remaining firs were thinned and shortened, to give the oaks head room. In two years the fir branches were cut off generally. In the third year the. firs were partially cut out. In the fourth and fifth years they were • again reduced, by occasionally taking out a whole row of firs, and letting up two rows M' oaks together. " At this time ( Dec. 1825] the oak trees planted five years ago, four feet high amongst the firs, are commonly fen to twelve feet high, very many of them above sixteen feet high; whilst the neigh- bouring oak plants, which were put in alone at the fame time, aud oi:' the same height, aud, be it re- membei'e'd, in land considered more fit for the growth of oak, are now shorter by one third gener- ally t and thosd among the^ earlier oak plantations are but little better; iu both instances being r.. ugh iu their coats, and less kindly in their growth. " The necessity of pruning young tre^ s to in- crease their growth, commonly a heavy duty in large plantations, is here done away with. The plants among the firs are overhung by them for the most part; but they push up their heads through the fir branches, which at first are lopped onufy" to prevent their whipping- the oaks. Nor do the firs seem to interfere wilh the supply of nour- ishment necessary ( of the oaks, although they stand so thick that the oak' plants' are positively without sunshine for at least a year! hi plain truth, the firs appear to be careful full- grown nurses, able to protect the infant oaks, and pecu- liarly calculated to save them from winds aud frosts, of which I had the strongest proof, in August, 1823, when young plantations and coppkfes, gener- ally throughout the country,- suffered from" a Mid- summer frost." At that date these sheltered young oaks were wholly uninjured, whilst those in. the adjacent open ground # ere cut most severely. u It will readily occur to every planter, that, as these plantations are'yet ra their infancy, much remains to be done, to complete this new system, for its avo'vv'& l object. In letting up the young oaks, care arost be taken to give them at first air without wind, to expose them gradually to the open atmosphere, and to make them keep size with their stature! They will require much skilful attention in their future management, until they are reduced to a number having room for acquiring maturity fit for naval purposed f which, should they succeed well, will be a reduction from upwards of one thousand three ftcmdred plants to less than one hundred trees on an acre' of land ! " I hope and presume that Mr. Turner's experi- ments will be recorded in the next Reports of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, in terms worthy of \ m character,, and fit for publication. But having myself visited those iactosures three successive years with increased delight, I am desirous of communicating to the Bath and West of England Society, this plain statement of the facts of his management. And f fa& e featfe here to state, that Mr. Turner has no reserve either in shewing his plantations, or in explaining his system and operations. Gentlemen and nurserymen are at full liberty to visit his works, and many of both classes have candidly acknowledged the advantages derived from such indulgence." Mr. Elwin . said that th'ey owed a debt' of grati- tude to the writer of this paper; aud, in consequence of the great interest of the document, he should propose that an honorary reward be granted to'Mr. Turner. . Sir T. Lethbridge observed, that he had been much delighted with hearing the contents of tlie paper which had just been read. He wished to say one or two words in support of the theory,, if he might so term it, that had been developed in this valuable paper: he knew its correctness from his own experience. He had had thousands of oaks recently pruned; some of which he had pruned, within the last month, with his own hands ; and he had feared they were almost suffocated by the Scotch firs by which they were surrounded : they proved, however, to have been materially benefitted by the firs, and grown to a height that they would not otherwise have attained. He had no doubt that the general adoption of this system would be attended with benefit and success. University, and by nominating a Popish Priest to be been granted many years ago to one of the sultanas* Provost of Trinity College. So far was the spirit of | as an appropriation, from which she derived a fixed extirpation Carried, that even three Protestant Fellows of the College were forbidden to meet together under pain of death. James also. seized the revenues of the vacant Bishoprics, gave over the tithes and first fruits to Popish Bishops and Priests, and destroyed the jurisdiction of the Protestant Church. To complete his plans, he gave orders for seizing all the Churches, and his soldiers not only broke open ail the monu- ment's and graves, but took oul the dead bodies, and left them exposed to ( lie birds of the air. Proclama- tions were issued,- forbidding Protestants assembling for divine worship even in private houses, and a Popish Governor of Dublin issued an order forbidding more than five Protestants to assemble on any pre- tence. under pain of death. This, Gentlemen, is an epitome of the history of the day, and of those causes which led to the gallant resistance of the inhabitants' of this City against tyranny, slavery, and superstition. If history furnishes any example of a more noble struggle, or of greater devotion to the cause of liberty, lei it be toasted this evening; but he knew o" f none; and while the love of liberty, tiie praise of courage, Ihe honour of victory iu a good and glorious cause, continue to draw forth the admiration of maaUiud, so > ng will the citizens of Derry continue to receive from all loyal and well affected hearty fhe thanks of their countrymen and the gratitude of poslei. ilv. And now, Gentlemen, for one parting word. You are justly proud of the sufferings, the sacrifices, and the victory of your forefathers— you can never prove your gratitude in a better' manner than by adhering in- flexibly to the same principles— let not the tongue of flattery deceive you into a surrender of your principles, and let not the anger of faction deter you from the just, but temperate expression of your feelings. Be assured that you wiil find champions in the highest places, who w ill not be afraid to re- echo your senli hieuts; be- just to yourselves and to your posterity, in maintaining the principles established by your ancestors, and doubt not that ihe same spirit, the same zeal, the same love for a free constitution, will animate the representatives of the country to join once more in your native rallying cry of " No Surrender." CHARACTER OF THE RUSSIANS. SALOP, DEC. 20,1825.- JOSHUA MARSDEN. The Russians are insinuating and cunning, de- ceitful and perfidious, sensual and immoral, given to levity, fond of novelty; improvident with the command of a little money, they are avaricious and t » ? an— when cash abounds they are generous, ostentatious, and prodigal; they are cheerful, good humoured, and social; they are luxurious, hospit- able, and charitable; they love light occupations and amusements— as plays, operas, masquerades, exhibitions, dancing, singing, and instrumental music, chess and draughts, and billiards ; but above all,- playrag . at cards, to which whole weeks, and days, and months* and years are devoted. They have a great curiosity to pry into the affairs of others; they have quick apprehensions; their talent for imitation is universally allowed; they are fluent in languages, a few are endowed with good parts: and ingenuity, aud are mea of literature: the generality are well informed and accomplished, as to what regards the exterior of life ; few,- however, are distinguished for their proficiency ra the: sciences; they are accustomed to good living, J^& t are generally moderate in thefr cups; they are disposed to indolence, to a sedentary life, and to much sleep. They are generally early risers, but they take a fiesta after dinner; some rise very late, and others pass half their life in slumber. They are too little in the habit of bodily- taken exercise, and yet when urged by affairs or ne- cessity, they are excessively active, and withstand extraordinary hardships and fatigues. In what coun- try, except in Russia, could a Prince quit his hottse filled with the luxuries of the different quarters of the world, and be so easily satisfied as a Russian in the camp, or while travelling? What noble but a Russiau could with impunity exchange his com- fortable carriage for a Telega ( a small open cart), and travel by night and day thousands of versts in that dreadful jolting uncovered equipage, snd with a celerity that is astonishing? The manners of the higher and travelled nobility are easy, elegant, and imposing, and the natives of no country can riiake themselves more agreeable to foreigners. The manners of the lower nobility are affected, conse quential, overbearing, and sometimes rude, though some few of them are endowed with amiable aud generous passions. Russia is the empire of extremes and contrasts, whether you r ® gavxl the face of the country, its climate and productions, the diversity of its in- habitants, or merely the national character of the inhabitants. A' Russian nobleman will sell any thing he possesses, from his wife to his lap- dog, from the decora'ions of his palace to the ornaments of his person-^— any thing to obtain money— any thing to squander it away. Their ( nobility^) plan is to order whatever they can procure for credit; to pay for nothing, and to sell what they have ordered as they receive it. We should call such conduct in England swindling. In- Moscow it bears another name, it is called Russian magnificence. Charity is a prevailing virtue among all classes of the Russians.— LyalVs Russia. revenue, and title of interference in all matters relating to police and internal administration. The present patroness was Asma Sultana, sister of the Sultan ; and that amiable princess received about two hundred thousand piastres a year,- besides casual presents from her flourishing little province ; when she was informed of its destruction her indig- nation was natural and excessive, and it was direct- ed of eoure against Valid, the Pacha who command- ed the fort, and the Capudan Pacha, to whose mis- conduct she chiefly attributed her misfortune. It was in vain that that officer selected from his cap- tives sixty young and beautiful maidens whom he presented to the service of her highness. She re- jected the sacrifice with disdain, and continued her energetic remonstrances against the injustice and illegality of reducing Rajahs to slavery, and ex- posing them to sale in the public markets. The sultan at length yielded to her eloquence, or her importunity; a license, the occasion of hourly, brutalities, was suppressed, and we have the satis- faction of believing that this act of rare and un- precedented humanity may be attributed to the in- fluence of a woman." * That is, a sister, cousin, or aunt of the reigning monarch. The inhabitants of Greece, though the country abounds with game, will neither eat a hare, nor touch it after it is kilted; and so great is their aversion to this animal, that no Albanian servant can be prevailed upon to take the skin from a hare, or even to remain in the house where it is dressed. French Papers of Sunday arrived on Tuesday night. The most interesting intelligence which they contain relates to the contest in Greece. The crisis of that country's fate was evidently approach- ing. It appears that fhe resistance of Missolonghi had beeu justly considered at Constantinople as the** chief cause of the protraction of the war, and that the forces lately assembled in Egypt, both naval and military^ had orders to make the reduction of that city the first operation of their winter cam- paign. Ibrahim Pacha, who wished to accomplish the conquest of the Morea, relied on the contrary on the junction of those forces witfr his own, to euable him to lay siege to, Napoli. The Captain Pacha, however, refused to" depart from the plan which has been traced out by the Divan or its Christian Allies, and called upon Ibrahim to help him with his army. Hence some cUiferetice arose, 1 from which a gleam © f hope may break upon Greece; but it is faint and imperfect. Ibrahim, according to the present' accounts, had given way to superior authority, and had promised to bring the bulk of ' his troops to the assistance of Redschid, who was to resume the siege of Missolonghi by laud, whilst the fleet should attack it by sea. Aware of the magnitude of the dangers winch threatened them, and determined not to yield whilst they h^ d life, the brave Missolonghians sent the archives ofthe Government, tiie old men, women, and children,- to Zante and Cephalonia, and prepared to maintain their post, or to die. As the communications were not yet interrupted, provisions were brought in abundantly, and numerous bodies of patriots and heroes poured into share their triumphs or their death. The batteries were repaired and the forti- fie& tkm^ strengthened, that the ground might be defended inch by inch. Neither did the garrison and inhabitants trust to human courage alone. They appealed to that God, who knew the sacredness and justice of their cause, for protection in the day of battle. After a general review, in which every Chief embraced his soldiers as self- doomed to the same destruction, the venerable Bishop of the place ( their only Christian ally on earth!) publicly blessed them, sprinkling holy water on their stand- ard, which was decorated with crowns of laurels. throwing aside his loose garments, stood before the astounded man in the garb of an officer of justice, completely armed. Resistance was in vain; the murderer was seized, and carried to the skirts of the wood adjoining, mounted on horseback, con- veyed thirty miles, and lodged in jail before teu o'clock the next morning. This was the plan adopted and executed by the members of a small village police, in a country where the supremacy of the law had often been maintained rather by strata- gem than open force; and by which was brought to justice one of the most atrocious villains that ever hung upon a gallows— a man who had murdered, according to his own confession, a mother and her orphan family, for a price paid him by a relative, who was the next heir to a small estate. We beg to call the attention of our readers ia the Legal Profession, to the Advertisement in our first page, of Mr. Petersdorff's Practical aud Elementary Abridgement of the Law Reports, of which the third volume ( containing the entire Law of Bankrupt) is just published. It will supply the greatest desideratum in the Law Library, being1 equally useful to every branch ofthe Profession. MONTE VIDEO. THE MIDNIGHT REVEL. ROMAN CATHOLICS. GREECE. OALL PLANTING. The following paper by Thomas Davies, Esq. of Tortway, Warminster, communicating tbe mode of Planting Oak Trees, adopted in the New Forest, Hants, by Mr. Turner, was read at the recent meeting of the Bath and West of England Society for the promotion of Agriculture, & c. " Ill the year 1S08, Lord Glenbervie, the sur veyor- general, laid before the Commissioners of his Majesty's Woods and Forests a statement and proposition relative to the inclosures then about to lie made in the New Forest, for tbe growth and preservation of timber for the supply of the Navy, and particularly relative to the most advisable method of raising oak in such new iuclosurcs. The total measure of uninclosed waste of the Forest was then about 6fl, 000 acres; and, by an act of William and Mary, it is directed that not more than 6,000 acres shall lie at any one time ia an inclosed state. The supply of oak timber from this Forest to the lloyal Navy is not less than 500 loails annually. " Acting' under the opinions of many skilful and practical men, collected and contrasted by the sur- veyor- general with cautious attention, the officers of the Forest, between tho years 1808 and 1811, made accordingly mclosures of various sizes, from 130 to 50D acres each. These imilosures were well to nerd from deer and ca'tle, the rabbits and vermin destroyed, and the wet parts oi' the land were skilfully open drained. Of these inclosures, which necessarily included a variety of soils and surface, the most exposed situations, gravelly knaps, and boggy places-, supposed to be unfit for oak, were planted with Scotch firs, in rows, 4 feet apart each way, the holes being dug 18 inches over, and 15 inches deep. The residue of tile land was applied to the growlh of oak. " The first plan adopted for raising oaks was by acorns and seedling plants intermixed. Notwith- standing au apparent success in the early slages, lllis attempt suil-.- red almost a total failure. " Tall oal. nlauts from nurseries were next tried and put i i at the distance of 8 feet apart, in sheltered spots and other favourable situations, many of these succeeded, but they grew up rough and rudely. " A more general trial of nursery plants now succeeded, put in about HO inches high, - I feet apart ( as above stated), with a few Spanish ehesnuts at intervals. These plants lived, but did not thrive. In exposed situations, and iu severe weather, their growth was checked, and tliey shewed but little prospect of attaining the desired object. " The next step taken, of the introduction of Scotch firs, pinasters, aud larch, amongst the oak At the celebration ( oil the 20th nil.) of the Anni- versary of Ihe day on which the Gates of Londonderry were shut against the troops of King James the First, GEOHGK ROBERT DAWSON, Esq. M. P. for lhe County of Den y, in the course of an animated Address to the Citizens of Londonderry, said— Il is an indisputable facl, acknowledged by all historians, that tbe object of King James was to re- establish the Catholic religion both in England and Ireland, and with the Catholic religion, unlimited despotism. His attempts to effect this object in England were happily frustrated in their very first birth, but his endeavours in Ireland were more sue cessful, and, with the aid of ready ministers and a willing" people, lie bad very nearly obtained bis pur- pose. Having confided his plans lo an active agent, the Duke of Tyrconnel, no time was lost in carrying litem into effect. The first object was lo gain pos. session ofthe military force of the country— for that purpose lie expelled every Protestant from the ranks of the army, and deprived every Protest a lit gentleman of his commission. Having moulded ihe military force according lo his fancy, be next proceeded lo re- model the civil establishments, aud he accordingly displaced every Protestant who held an office in the administiatiou of justice, and filled up the places of Chancellor, Chief Judges, Puisne Judges, Privy Councillors, Sheriffs, Magistrates, and even Consta- bles, not only w ith Catholics, but with those Catholics who had made themselves most remarkable, iu this time of jubilee, for their rancour aud persecution against the Protestants. Having thus secured ou ascendancy for the Catholics in all the ministerial offices of justice, by which the property aud lives of Ihe Protestants were left at their mercy, lie next at- tacked the Corporations, and by depriving them of their charters, and expelling every Protestant Mayor, Alderman, and Burgess, lie, in fact, made tbem the slaves of his will, and the tuols of his despotism. Public afl'aiis were brought lo this stale under the agency of Tyrconnel, and prepared for the final establishment of Popery, when King James arrived in Ireland, and when the only place which stood out against his power, arid remained as a bulwark for Ihe Protestants, was Ihe c ity of Deny. Immediately on his arrival he summoned a Pailiamenl, and Ihe pro- ceedings of that body will shew what gratitude is due by the Proti stunts of Ireland to the citizens of Dcrry, for inflexibly refusing lo submit to King James. The Parliament, both Louis and Commons, consisted almost entirely of Catholics, and its first act was lo repeal the Act of' Settlement, by which the Protestants in Ireland held their cslates. The Act of Attainder was then passed, by which 2000 Protestants, men tioned hy name, were attainted of high treason, if they did not make their appearance before Ihe 1st of Ihe following November; and, in order to add insult lo cruelty, King James's Chancellor kept the Act in his pocket for four mouths after ihe time was passed, lo prevent the unfortunate victims from availing tinmseives of' this insulting lenity— an act which ex- ceeds in cruelty the famous proscriptions of Rome, during the worst cays of tyranny. A law was also passed lo take away the personal property of any Protestant, who was absent from tbe kingdom. Not satisfied wilh the destruction of properly, a design was formed lo put an end to lhe Protestant Priest- hood, by pulling the free- schools under Popish masters— by introducing Popish Fellows into Ike The British Critic, iu its newly- assumed form of a Quarterly Review, gives the following remarks, in noticing the tour of a very recent traveller in that country. In point of climate there is, perhaps, no country in the World which, ill so small a space, affords such singular and sadden varieties Of temperature. At Tripolizza, you may wrap yourselfin cloaks, and shrink from the snow, and a few hours' ride will bring you to suttshiue, and fruits, aud cloudless skies, at Argos. An inc'f'ease iu elevation affects the climates like aa increase of latitude, and the high plains of Greece have as permanent aud obvi- ous a difference of atmosphere from that ofthe low grounds, as we find at great intervals in other parts of Europe, where the elevation of the face of the country is more uniform. This variety of climate is, of course, the mother of variety in production. Ulany of the low lands are swampy and unhealthy ; but we have seen, in Germany and Holland, such prodigious effects produced on the climate by drain- ing and embanking, that when capital has been allowed to accumulate, we liave no reason to fear that the evil will remain. The Government will start with ample funds at its disposal, ( continuing the supposition, that Greece is free and at peace), Mr. Blaquiere lias estimated the national domains, formerly occupied by Turks, and arising from forfeitures, & c. at four- fifths of tiie whole country: " And this property," lie says, " of which the value is incalculable, consists of lands, olive plantations, forests, principally of oak, and ash, and fir; salt pits, fisheries, public buildings, gardens, villas, & c.'"' The tourist gives the following extraordinary account of the fishing ill the shallow waters, between Messolunghi and Anatolica:—" The diver being provided with a rope, made of a species of long- grass, aud which floats near the surface, has only to moor liis canoe where he knows there is a rocky bottom; this done, he throws the rope out so as to form a tolerably large circle; aud such is the timid nature of the fish, that, instead of rushing out, it never attempts to pass this imaginary barrier, which acts as a talisman, hut instantly descends, and eudeavours to conceal itself under the rocks. Having waited a few moments, till the charm lias taken effect, the diver plunges downwards, and not uufrequently returns with four of five fish, weighing from two to six pounds each. As they seldom find more than the heads concealed, there is ihe less difficulty in bringing forth their rich prizes; and when the harvest is good, the divers are so dexter- ous, that they have a method of securing three or four fish under each arm, besides what they can take iu their hands. My informant added, as a very curious fact, that only one accident had happened, within his remembrance, to those who pursued this apparently perilous mode of fishing; and it only arose from the diver's arm being entangled under some of the apertures ofthe rocks." The same author relates the following noble act of a Princess.— After the recent well- known mas- sacre at Scio, the wretched remnants of the popu- lation were carried to Constantinople to be sold " The continued sale of theSciot captives led to the commission of daily brutalities. Oil June the 19th an order came down to the slave- market for its ces- sation, and the circumstances which are believed to have occasioned that order are extremely singu- lar, aud purely oriental, The island of Scio had The Wind o'f November whistled shrill and cold among the rocky precipices that jutted over the mountain road from Alesbury towards Northumber- land, as, at the decline of day, two travellers on horseback were crossing- with weary pace,- the long range of l- idges towards the great elbow of the Susquehanah; and, notwithstanding that the clouds lay heavily on the dark and distant mountain tops, and the shadows of approaching night gathered rapidly, they paused upon the northern extremity of the last eminence, dismounted, and appeared to be taking a survey of the country around them, a country embodying some of the moat g- ratld and sublime scenery in nature. To the north and south one vast extent of forest lay outstretched, broken and diversified by hill and valley, now dimly seen, but not less interesting in \ ts aspect. In one direction were to be seen seven stupendous pyra- midic piles : pushing their pine crowned summits through the black clouds, they seemed fit habita- tions for the fierce spirits of the restless elements — aud one could almost fancy the angels of the tem- pest gathering to their awful dwelliugs in those unvisited realms— ail university of stormy clouds ; while, iu the west, a peaceful river flowed on in calm aud uubroken solitude through its devious course. Such was tbe scene the travellers were left surveying, when twilight followed the de dining sun, and the dreary night came swift upon the transient glooming. At a long three miles from the spot, on a dim and narrow road, was a small public- house, called iu those days " The Inn of the Forest."— There was a third settlement from this some miles on, consisting chiefly of men of the rudest cast in life, often honest and rude in their way— but, nevertheless, who brooked not the cou- troul of law ; and, living far off from city and town, enjoye 1 their game, and were themselves the only umpires of each other's rights and wrongs. Such men made up the company that gathered in the tavern that night; and as the winds blew louder, and the weather grew colder without, so did their noise and rioting, and the turbulence of their spirits increase within. Mingling with this tumultuous assembly around the bar- room fire, and the long card- table stretched out before it, were now to be seen the two strangers; they were wrapped up in fur hunting cloaks; aud while one of Ihem took part in the boisterous laugh, and played his game at the card- table, and drank freely, the other stretched himself to sleep in a corner. The more sociable stranger soon acquired the confidence of his new companions; and as he himself professed to be a tavern- keeper, he gained the especial favour of his landlord, a black whiskered, down cast, dark looking man, upon whose countenance the stamp of vice was fixed, and who was the loudest and most clamorous in the circle, and drank and played, and boasted and cursed, with a kind of frenzied infatuation.— Their riotiug was kept up throughout the midnight hours; and, while the wearied aud inebriated guests, one by one dropped asleep; and while the storm without sang in melancholy and plaintive sweetness through the seared pine- trees, that single stranger kept one little circle he had gathered round him by the fire, in fixed and wakeful atten- tion, by harrowing tales of hell- devised murders, aud fearful retributions, and walking ghosts, aud marvellous facts brought to the light by super- natural agencies. In vain tbe host, at every period, endeavoured to turn the subject. In vain he stirred tbe dying embers, and invited the guests to sleep. In vain he trembled and turned pale;— thetraveller seemed invincible, and at every change, murder and its bloody consequences were still his theme, and still his eye was fixed on the disquieted features of his host. His glance was most dark and pene- trating; and his voice grew hoarse as he bid them hearken to the screeching wind. It seemed to liim, he said, to be burthened with a voice. The com- pany started and listened;— some thought they heard a voice, and others fancied they distinguished the very words. What could it mean? was the inquiry that went round. " Hark !" said the strang- er, " listen! heard you not that— listen!" " Hol- land! Rolland! Holland! a mother and six innocent children, murdered by your haud, summon you to the grave with them'." " A heavy charge," said he, as he turned towards the host— who, startled at the heavy import of the words, rose in wild agitation, and halloed as if to the voice, " If I slew you, it was at another's instigation, and tbe money 1 got for it I buried in the rapids ofthe Susquehanah!" " And for that crime," said the other stranger, who had till now lain silent, and apparently asleep," by virtue cf a state's warrant, aud in the name of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we arrest you, Dubois Holland, to answer at the bar of your country!"— and as he said so, he deliberately rose, drew a pair of pistols from his cloak, and laid them Of this country, now an object of particular notice, a very recent writer says, " This province, favoured by Nature, as if it had been selected for the display of fertility and beauty, is not less im- portant on account of its geographicnl situation, at the mouth oftlie river ( a Plata, forty leagues distant from the capital city tff Buenos Ayres, but only ten from the coast. Its climate, which has sensibly inipioved duriug the last forty years, is temperate and humid; but as that quality is moderated by the invariably dry land- winds from the north- west, and by its proximity to the ocean, the temperature of its atmosphere is the most healthy possible. In the year 1810 the province numbered a population of from 60 to 70,000 souls, including that of the city, which was not less than 20,000. At present, how- ever, ii " scarcely contains from 40 to 50,000; that is, 10,000 in the city, aiid the remainder in the country, which is of immense extent. Monte Video was peopled, less than a century ago, by a colony sent from Buenos Ayrcs. Since that time the soil, fertile in all parts, even in the mountains, with which it abounds, appears to have been used parti- cularly for grazing, its cattle having continued all along to be the staple branch of the commerce of Monte Video ; not only by reason of the exportation of vicunua and horse- hides, but also of salted meat and tallow. Monte Video at one time possessed thirty- three establishments for curing meat; each of them kill- ing at least one hundred head of cattle daily, with- out that consumption being felt in regard to the vicunna, the multiplication of which race is assist- ed there by an infinite variety of natural circum- stances. The whole country abounds in excellent pastures, and not a single spot of ground is lefl waste. The pastures are of excellent quality, aud fertilized iu an astonishing manner by the irrigation of many rivers, rivulets, and springs. At each step the traveller finds himself agreeably surprised by meeting with streams of pure and salubrious water, which tend to enhance the charms of the surround- ing scenery, consisting of a constant succession of hills, eminences, meadows, wilds, rugged defiles, and mountains, with which all the territory abounds. The principal rivers are ths Uruguay, Negro, Ybicui, Cebollati, Yi, Santa Lucia, Guegisay, Dia- man, Arapei, Guarey, Olimar, Pardo, Tacuafi, Yguaron, and Tacuareinbo. The immense ourronta of these rivers arc formed by more than two hun- dred rivulets, many of them very considerable, which run in all directions, excepting an elevated l- idge of land which crosses the whole province, and is called Cachilla grande. Almost all these rivers might be made navigable, through the greatest pari of their course, with little trouble. Those lhat are now navigated are the Uruguay, Negro, Cebollati, and Santa i- ucia. As the grazing business produces such immense profit to those who possess capitals laid out in estates, agriculture has occupied them but little, as a matter of speculation ; nevertheless, the lands are capable of producing abundantly, and without labour, all kinds of grain, fruit, and veget- ables.— The province of Monte Video is at present occupied by the troops of Brazil, against the will of its legitimate masters." fKtsitellanrous Entclligcncr.

Intelligence has been received of the arrival of Captain Franklin with his party, all in good health, at Lathaboche, where it was intended to pass the winter. On their route, a canoe was stove in, which occasioned considerable delay, but another being procured they were enabled to proceed. In com- pliance with a superstitious prejudice of the Indians, two large eyes are painted ou the bows ofthe canoe, which are thought by the Indians, to keep it in a straight direction. Captain Franklin had heard of the death of Mrs. Franklin. The Commissioners appointed to ascertain the boundaries between the United States and the British territory,- had made considerable progress in their labours, which are expected to be brought to a conclusion about May or June, in the ensuing year. The Singapore Chronicle of the 4th of August has been received. An expedition had been sent by order of the Government at Singapore, for the purpose af taking formal possession, as it was understood, of several adjacent islands ceded to the English by the late treaty with the Snltan of Singapore. Although the circumference of Singa- pore is not great, yet the small islands to be landed upon are numerous and little known, and the objects of the expedition would therefore occupy a con- siderable time in accomplishing. According to accounts from Penang, received at Singapore, Capt, H. Burney had been appointed as Envoy of the Governor- General, to proceed on a mission to Siam, should a fit opportunity offer for opening a negoci- ation with the people of that country, extremely jealous of any intercourse with foreigners, and therefore difficult of access. Loss or THE COMET STEAM PACKET— On Wednesday the 21st instant, Duncan M'* Innes, late master, and Peter M'Bride, pilot of the Comet steam boat, were brought to trial at the high court of admiralty, Edinburgh, on a charge of culpable homicide, arisiug out of the loss of the Comet steam boat, on the morning of the 21st of October last. The main facts proved were, that the Comet had no light- a head, and that there was not a re- gular look- out kept. It was proved by the car- penter, that he saw the Ayr about a minute and a half before the vessel struck, when she was full a hundred yards distant, aud that an order of " star- board" to the helmsman, from some person near the centre of the vessel, was either not beard by the former, or not obeyed. Had it been attend- ed to, he thought the vessels would have cleared each other. Other evidence, confirmatory of this was produced, and the jury found M'lnnes, the captain, guilty; and M'Bride, the pilot, not guiity The former was recommended to the leniency of the court, on account of his good character, and re- ceived a sentence of three months' imprisonment in the Gaol at Greenock. At Woburn, on Monday night last, as the Man. Chester Mail was about to start, the animals became restive, and set off at full speed. At the end of the town they turned short round Ihe corner towards Bedford, and one wheel running against the end of au arch, upset the coach. One gentleman ( a clerk in tbe banking bouse of Jones, Loyd, and Co.) who was travelling lo Manchester, with £ 100,000 lor the use of the banks there, jumped off just at the instant, and the coach fell upon him. He bad three ribs broken, and was so much injured, that notwithstand- ing immediate medical aid, he died about three hours afterwards. Another gentleman had the fingers of one of bis bands dreadfully crushed. The olher pas- sengers, and the coachman und guard, escaped with, oul any material injury. We have been informed ofthe conduct of a Clergy, man, who resides in a village in the vicinity of this city, which forms an example highly worthy of imitation at this peculiar crisis. This gentleman has been making inquiry amongst his poor neigh- bours for the holders of those notes which have ceased to become payable, owing to the failure of a. bank in this city, and has generously given good note3 or cash in exchange' for them, taking upon himself that inconvenience which a temporary delay in the payment of their full amount must have caused to fall with a distressful pressure upon their needy possessors.— York Courant. During the run upon the banks in Norwich, ot « Saturday se'nnight, a person having au account with Messrs. Guruey, desired that it might be made up, and drew out his balance, but finding in the course of the day that his money might be'less secure than in the hands of a firm who are said to have been provided with £ 600,000 in cash and Bank of England notes, he went back in the after- noon, and stated that, being satisfied ofthe stability of the house, he wished to replace what he had withdrawn; but was very shortly and sufficiently answered—" No, friend, thou hast pleased thyself in taking thy money away ; it is our turn to please ourselves now, and thou must go where thoa canst to find a place of greater security." EFFECT OF THE PANIC IS IRELAND.— SO great and rapid has been the demand for British Securities for a few days past, says tbe Freeman's Journal of Saturday, that the Bank of Ireland thought it ad- viseable yesterday to discontinue au accommodation which they have been for a considerable time in the practice of granting to merchants, traders, and others, having occasion to make remittances to the other side. It was this: on handing asum ofmoney to the Bank here, and paying nine per cent, for the exchange, they gave a letter of credit, on tho house of Coutts and Co. which entitled the holder to re. ceive the amount iu cash on demand. To merchant, having engagements to meet in London, the " Let. ter" was to all intents and purposes, the same as a check on the Bank. After two o'clock yesterday, however, it was impossible to obtain anything more prompt in its operation than a twenty- one days' bill. Bank of England notes too, were un. commonly scarce— there were but a very few, and of very small value, and for these as much as ten per cent, was demanded ! There is no alarm amongst us yet, nor, we hope, any occasion for it. Counterfeit sovereigns are now showing themselves in frightful numbers; and have proved to many lhat " it is not al! gold that glitters."

EXECUTION.— Oil Tuesday morning, the dreadful sentence of the law was executed iu front of New- gate, upon William Henry Austin, for stealing teller, from the General Posl Office ; Richard William Jaspar, for forgery ; aud John Edmonds, for horse- stealing. LEGAL DECISIONS— Snow and Co. bankers, Picketl. slrccl, London, recovered £ 500, on Friday rfeek, in Ihe Court of King's Bench, against the Bourne bank,- the latter having changed to a stranger a note to that amount stolen from Snow's porter, some time since, in Fleet street An action in the above Court against a livery stable keeper, was tried last week, for not paying for a horse purchased at Aldridge's, which proved lo be a roarer, the plaintiff was nonsuited, be having sent bis groom " to nod," thereby, as Chief Justice Best considered, fraudulently enhancing the price against a bona fide purchaser ; such purchaser not being apprised that the owner was covertly bidding against him. THE IMPORTANCE OF PUNCTUALITY.— Method is the very hinge of business -, noU ihere is no method without punctuality. Punctuality is important, be- cause it promotes the peace and good temper of a family : tbe want of it not only infringes on necessary duty, but sometimes excludes this duty. The calm- ness of mind which it produces, is another ad- vantage of punctuality: a disorderly man is always in a hurry ; be has no time to speak lo you, bccaus. he is going elsewhere; and when he gets there, he is too late for bis business; or he must hurry away to another before be can finish it. Punctuality give, weight lo character. " Such a man has made an appointment— then I know he will keep il." And this generates punctuality in you ; for, like other Virtues, it propagates itself. Servants and children must be punctual where their leader is so. Appoint- ments, indeed, become debts. I owe you punctu- ality, if I have made an appointment wilb you : and have no right lo throw away yo- tfr time, if i do my . own. AN ARGUMENTUM AD HOMINEM.— A species of this soi l of argument took place al one of Ihe church- wardens' dinners, at Salisbury, which excited con. siderable amusement. It is customary on such occa- sions for the clerk and sexlon lo attend. In the present instance the clerk ( who is a very respectable old man) and the deputy sexton made their ap. pearauce. On tbe latter being asked the reason of his father's absence, and his own attendance, he gave the following very cngenl reply :—" Veylher be a got wold, an' na' lost bis zdumuiacb, zo lhat he can's eat zo much as be used lo do, zo he zent I to make up vor'l, as iny zdummack be ' nation good. That he il." This naturally called forth a burst of laughter, which was occasionally repeated, on ob. serving the very able way in which he justified the account he had given of his " zdummach." We do not make all Ihe use we might, eillisr of our materials or our knowledge. Tims ihe laburnum tree, which the French sometimes call the green ebony of the Alps, is one of Ihe most beautiful of woods for furniture, \ et it is seldom or never used for lhat pin pose.— Il has been proved in many paiis of France, that the walnut- tree, if grafted, produces tenfold ; yet Ihe walout is seldom or ever submitted lo that process, at least ill this country.— Mr. Dawes, of Slough, discovered lhat the covering of a wall with black paint would facililate the ripening of wall- fruit, and yet not one wall in twenty thousand is so painted— The knowledge that charcoal is the best ingredient in the foundation of buildings erected in moist plaecs is as old as Theodorus, who, according lo Diogenes Laertius, proposed Ihe forming the foundation of the Temple of Epliesus with lhat ma- terial, because it would become so solid that no water would penetrate it.

Fowler was driven to the place in the custody of a constable, and a person who had traced Mr. Meard's horses from Chipping Norton, where they found in a close stable four others, no doubt stolen, as Mr. Sanderson was not to be found, and no one but an old woman in the house, who knew nothing.
