After trying various remedies, and finding herself only rendered worse, she was advised by her neighbour, Mrs. Wyley, who had been cured some years ago of the same complaint by Dr. Lignum's Antiscorbutic Drops, to give them a trial, ihe firstsmall bottle of which afforded her relief, and by taking a few more bottles she was entirely cured, since which time she has remained in good health.

The l ord Bishop of Calcutta arrived at Tanjore on The - 25th Instant, having- preached an excellent sermon © u the Crueitlxion,. the preceding day, Good Friday, * t Combucomim. On the 26th, Faster Sunday, English Di virieS. erviee was. performed nt the Missioti Church in the little fort of Tniijore, His Lordahip's Chaplain,, the Rev. T. Robinson, the Rev. J. Dorun, and other Missionaries, assisted in reading the Liturgy. Hr* Lordship preached an eloquent and impressive Sermon on the, Resurrection. At the request of the Native Members ofthe Congregation, his Lordship kindly" promised lo have this sermon translated into the Tamul language, and printed. In concluding the sermon, the Bishop, in the most feeling manner, impressed the duty of brotherly love upon all persons, without regard to rank or colour. The Lord's Supper was administered to 87 communicants, 50 belonging to the English Congregation, and 37 Native Christians, who under- stand the English language. Divine Service was performed in the evening at I lie tame place, in the Tamul language. The Liturgy was read by the Rev. Mr. Barenbruck, assisted by a Native Minister,. and a Sermon preached by the Key. Dr. Csemmarer. To the agreeable surprise of all present, his Lord- ship pronounced the Apostolic. Benediction in the Tamul language. On Easter Monday his Lordship held a Confirmation, when 12 English anil 50 Native youths were confirmed. As only a part of ihem understood the English lan- guage, the Service was repealed by the Rev. Mr. Kohlheff in the Tamul language, who afterwards addressed those who had been confirmed. The whole Service was interesting and affecting. IN the evening, Tamul Divine Service was held in tlie Chapel in the Mission Garden, when the Rev. Mr. Sperschiieider preached iu Tamul to a crowded con- gregation. At the conclusion of the Service, the Missionaries present/ received au affectionate and animated Address from his Lordship, the Bishop, who observed, it was probably the last time that all present could expect to meet agaiu in this world, and exhorted to diligence and perseverance by the example of Swartz,, near whose remains his Lordship was then standing. Hi » address w ill not. soon be forgotten- by those, who had the, privilege of hearing1 it. On the 28th, his Lordship, attended by his Chap- Iain, and several Missionaries of the District, paid a visit of ceremony to his Highness the Rajah of Tanjore, under the . customary honours. On the following day, his Highness returned his Lords- hip's visit. On the 29th and 30th, liis Lordship visited and inspected the Mission Schools and premises. The number of children iu the English and Tamul school, amounted to 275 hoys and girls. His Lordship heard them read in English and Tamul, and expressed him- self highly gratified at the progress w hich had been made by the scholars. His Lordship left Tanjore, and proceeded to Trichi- Jiopoly on the 31st, in the evening-. Our readers throughout India will, receive, with a universal pentimeiit of grief, the intelligence that the earthly career of our beloved and revered Bishop . terminated atTrichinopo. ly., on the morningof Monday, the 3d April. His Lordship had reached that place on Saturday morning., and' on the following- day* had protiched and held a Confirmation in the evening j after which he delivered another discourse, concluding with a solemn and a flee ting farewell to' tiie congrega- tion. On Moudhy, at au early' hour, his Lordship visited a congregation of Native Christians, and, on his return, went into a bath, as he bad done on the two preceding days. He was there seized with an apoplectic fit, and when his servant, alarmed at the length ofhis stay, entered the bathing1, room, he found that life was extinct. Medical aid was immediately . procured, but proved wholly unavailing. It is uot for us, nor at this moment is it for any one, to describe the sensations produced by this mournful and unexpected event, and still less to delineate any features of the ch aractcr of that admirable person, wlio so recently excited ilie love and veneration of all vrlio approached him, and now slumbers in the • ilent tomb. Could any circumstance give additional effect to those touching- appeals to the heart to which T. e listened but a few Sundays ago, it is, that they may now be regarded as testamentary, and that ibe same voice from the tomb still .. exhorts uS" to " look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen," and still encourages us with the assurance, that " to die is gain." The following is nn extract from Garrison Morning Orders, by the Hon. the Governor, dated Fort St. George, 5th April, 182ti : — The Hon, the Governor has received, with feelings of unfeigned regret, the melancholy intelligence of the demise of the [ light Rev. the'[. on! Bishop of Calcutta, which event occurred at Tricliinopoly on the morning- of the 3d itisl. As a tribute of respect to his Lordship's memory, his Excellency directs, that the flag ot tbe garrison be immediately hoisted half slafl high, to continue so during the whole of the day ; and lhat forty- six minute guns, corresponding with the age of the deceased, be fired from the Saluting Battery." The fort flag accordingly continued Irfusted half staff high during tbe day; and the minute guns, corresponding with the age of the decerned Prelate were fired from the battery.

LONDON— S A T U R D A V. A Proclamation in Friday night's Gazette orders Parliament to meet for the dispatch of business on the 14th of November. It has been inferred that the legislature is thus early summoned solely from a consideration of the urgency of public affairs; while on the other hand il is contended that Minis, tors in thus calling Parliament together, have been influenced principally by considerations of obvious convenience. There are preliminary forms incident to a new Parliament which occupy considerable time; such as the election of a Speaker— bis pre. mentation at the bar of the House of Lords— the ftvvcaring in of new Members— balloting for Election Committees, & c. & c. A short session, therefore, before Christmas, will clear away the whole of this occasional business, and leave both Houses in a condition to re- assemble after Christmas for the immediate consideration of public affairs. At the same time, ther/ i can be no doubt that, before they separate for the recess, the attention of members will be directed to many of those questions which involve, iu their consideration, tbe Highest interests of the country. The Hon. C. II. Hutchinson, who was lately re- turned for the seventh lime, to serve iu Piirliameu't for Ibe city of Cork, died on Saturday, at his house in Hampslead. Dutch Papers lo the 2Sth nit. were received last night : they contain uo information of importance.

DFATH OF TIIK BISHOP or CALCUTTA— It is with feelings of the most sincere regret, in which, we Hi- e sure, our readers and ibe public wilt participate, that we refer fo ibis most lamentable event. His Lordship was a man uot less distinguished as a scholar and a divine than for the amiable qaliilies of his heart, his piety, and his zeal ill tbe eanse of his Divine Master. During llle short period he bad filled the See of Calcutta be had unremittingly devoted himself to the most active performance of bis sacred functions, aud had proved himself worthy of being the successor of the l. ste eminent Dr, Middletmv, the first Prelate of our Indian possessions. l) r. Heber's loss will be deeply and universally felt throughout tbe- whole of his gigantic dineese, and he will be regretted alike as the pious and zealous Bishop of the Christian Church in India, and as the learned and accomplished gentle- man. It will be difficult to select a man so vv i- posscssed of the various qualities requisite for the Episcopal See of Calcutta as this eminent and amiable divine.

We had a fair supply of Wheat fresh in to this day's market, but as the opening ofthe ports for the Spring Corn has materially affected that description of grain, Wheat also has iu some measure suffered by it, as the best samples with difficulty supported the prices of last Monday. Barley is from Is. to 2s. per quarter cheaper, and at that reduction very little progress has been made. Beans were ineffectually offered at a decline of 6s. per quarter under the prices of this day week ; and Peas of both kinds could procure no pur- chasers at a reduction of 6s. per quarter. Of Oats the same may be said — no buyers at a decline of 6s. per quarter. In other articles there is no alteration.

CHAS. YOUNG, Solicitor, Temple Chambers, Fleet- street^ We hastily alluded last week to the establishment in this City of a Branch Bank of the Bank of Eng- land. We have no re^# Sn to think that the intention is abandoned; but we do hope, that the Directors of the Bank w ill pause before they carry such inten- tion iuto execution. The restrictive rules) by which their agents are to be governed, we are confident from what we have authentically heard of them,- are by no means calculated for the modes in which business is transacted in this city ; so much so, tiiat we are convinced a Branch Bank here would by no means be a source of profit. We hope yve are correct in saying, we are emerging- from that shock which has caused such universal devastation. Our ancient and respectable city stood its ground better than most other commercial places; and was the first to carry into effect the wishes of government under the act for extending banking partnerships, which Lord Liverpool took so much pains in passing. Two banks, consisting of many respectable and wealthy partners, have already united, and the union of other banks on an extended scale, we know is in contemplation, and in which many gentlemen of large property will be interested. Our bankers hei'e are known to be men of considerable local knowledge, with large and ample capital, sufficient to enable them to transact al! the business required ; and any iiiteriu. ptj- on to their system by the Bank of England, we are convinced must subject our mer- chants and traders in general to; great and serious inconvenience.— We understand all classes are much opposed against ihe establishment by the Bank of England of one of its Branches in this city, and we ireist the representations now making, and about to be made, will be attended with due effect.— Bristol Journal. EXECUTION.— Oil Saturday, the 25th ult. John Green, convicted, at the late Cheshire Assizes, for burglary, underwent the sentence of the law.— He has left a widow and five children. The accounts from Ireland continue to represent the distress amongst the lower orders as most appalling. In the counties of Cork, Limerick, and Tipperary, large bodies, it is said, have appeared in open day, demgiuditis food. BIBLE SOCIETIES.— Some dissensions have arisen between the, Scotch Societies and the London Parent Society.— The Edinburgh Observer says.—^" The Committee uf Directors of the Bible Society of this city, at their meeting held on Thursday within the Institution Rooms;' dissolved all future connection with the London British and Foreign Bible Society, and a public meeting will be he'd soon'to form a new society here.'* MARLBOROUGH STREET.— John Wright, a well- known character in Short's. buildings, and a bird- fancier, was brought up on a charge preferred by Mr, Cooke, tobacconist, of Museum- street. It appeared from the statement of the complainant, that on Friday afternoon last, the prisoner came to his shop, and offered for sale some beautiful birds, which he called Java nig htingalcs, whose plumage was rich and beau- tiful,. and which, he said, would sing- day and night. The prisoner offered two of them for eight « en- pence, alleging that he was going out of town, and was anxious to sell his birds at almost any price. The money was paid for the birds ; but after the departure of Wright, Mr. Cooke,- reflecting on the cheapness of his purchase, began to suspect the quality of it, and, in , order to set bis scruples at rest, immediately tried the brilliant hues of the Java nightingles with a piece of damp cotton. At. the, touch of this powerful test, the bright hues which adorned their plumage vanished, and. the Java nightingale was instantly converted into a plain common hedge- sparrow. Tbe disappointment was the more severe, as Mrs.. Cooke had been/ Wonder- fully captivated by their variegated and rich plumage ; — they were. so like some which she had seen in fhe Museum, " beautiful creatures !" Tiie prisoner called again at Mr. Cooke's on Thursday, doubtless with the purpose of once more trying his ingenuity, when Mr. Cooke gave him, without parley, into the. custody of the beadle.--!' he prisoner, in " his defence, admitted that lie had painted the birds, but alleged, in mitiga- tion, that it was an offence he very seldom committed ; he did not paint more than one in a hundred, and never, when lie could obtain goldfinches, skylarks, and canaries. But the truth was, lie said, that people would not buy them with their natural colours— they wanted something which was prettier and more varie- g- afed, and that, unless be painted them, he should not be able to sell as many as would get him bread and water.— He was committed for trial. LIFE OF J. P. IIEMBLE.— In the life of this cele- brated performer, by Mr. Boaden, the former patronage of theatres is described as follows :— . " Theatres, too, were profitably concerns, and in- terested nearly, alike all the ranks. of society. Men of the. highest powers enjoyed and took pride in the drama of their country. The pit displayed its prescriptive rows of critics, at th « head of whom sat Charles Maek- jin ; while the boxes frequently exhibited, along with the beauty of higher life, the glory of our senate, Pitt, F. OX, Burke, Lord Loughborough, and a long train of imitators ; and it became an article of attraction in our newspapers, to state, the following day, the names of those who the preceding night had honoured the theatr with their presence. At the same time, the high rank of the frequenters begat a demand for a very careful dress, and polite an- d accommodating manners, in such as approached, them. We had then no such horrors as bears in their own skins, with a dozen capes, like coachmen, standing up in the side boxes with thsir bats on, insensible Of the demands of respect towards the gentler, sex ; and ready, and even anxious, to crown their insolence, by a boxing match in the toblry. 11 Speaking of . the pecuniary transactions cf Mr. Kemble, the author says— ! f there Was one individual more particularly than another scrupulous as to fair dealing- in the world, that one was Mr KemhU ; but his ways and means were all simple and direct, lie was, through life, a child even in the forms of business ; but, in the literal sense ofthe terms, a punctual pay- master and strictly honest man.. Ou this occasion the person got his money ; and Kemble relinquished the management."— " There was one remarkable point of character in Mr. Kemble ; that, out of the management, and where responsibility was upon others, he was th « gentlest of all great actors. 4 He would do any thing.'' So that w hen he was cast into Percy,, in the present piece, a sort of harlequin hero, who gets into his enemy's castle after his Columbine, Angela, he had to climb from a sofa to a gothic window, and, being alarmed by his black guards, he has to full from the height flat again at his length upon the said sofa, and seem asleep, as they had before seen him. This he did, as boidly and sud- denly, as if he had been shot." From the period ( Mr. Boaden says) of Mr. K's. purchase of the Covent Garden property, may be dated the ill- fortune of Mr. Kemble, and the annoy- ances which subsequently beset him. The burning of Covent Garden in September, 1808, was an event which, while it destroyed the fruits of twenty- five years' prudence, was a death- blow t; o the honourable ambition which had occupied him during that time; the ambition of directing a thea- trical, establishment perfect iu the minutest point. This disappointment he appears to have dwelt more upon, in the conversation d tailed byMr. B. than on his own pecuniary losses:— " Yes, it has perished, tiiat maguififceut theatre, which for all the purposes of exhibition or comfort was the first in Europe. It is gone, with all its treasures © f every description, and some which can never be re- placed* That Library, which contained all those im* iaortal productions of our country men, prepared for the purposes of representation ) That vast collection of- Music, composed by tha greatest geniuses in that science,— by Handel, Arnb, and. others ; — most of it manuscript, in the original score 1 That Wardrobe, stored with all the costumes of all ages and nations, accumulated by unwearied research, and at incredible expense ! Scenery, the triumplrof the art, unri valled for its accuracy, and so exquisitely finished, that it might be the ornament, of y » ur drawing- rooms, werss they only ls. rge elisug- h to contain iti Of all this vast treasure nothing now remains, but tbe Arms of England over the entrance of the theatre— and the Roman Eaglft standing solitary m the market place The following is the character of Mr. Kemble, given by the English clergyman of Lausanne, who attended him at the period . ofhis death " We are. naturally grieved at the loss of what was ever amiable, excellent, and of good report, as a stsndriig example to all , around ; but how great, on rejection,- should be our joy, that the feeble' praise of man i* succeeded by the immortal honour and approv- ing smile of the best and greatest of ail beings ! I was with him, during the greater part of his last hours, and at the final close ; and on commending his soul lo hi gracious keeping, whose blood and mediatorial powe coukl alone present it spotless before GOD, I could not avoid secretly excluiiniug, * Let me die the death of the righteous*, and. let my latter end be like his. Of the supposed reserve and austerity of Kemble Mr. B. says — " No man in fact ever had less of it in private life. While Bannister's natural character was hat ofa grave man, and poor Suett, like the celebrated Carlini, was dying of nervous horrors off the stage, while he kept the world in a roar on it, Kemble's spirits were uni- formly cheerful, and eould be playful, even to boyish- uess." Drury Lane Theatre re- opens on Saturday, the " 23d of September, and most active exertions are making preparatory to that event. To the Company great additions have been made. In tragedy, Mr. Salter succeeds, Mr. Macready, who is gone ( or is goitisj) to America, to take the place of Kean, who will cotn- menee his re- en$ a< rement at this" theatre io January next. To this department Mrs M'Gibbon has been added ; also Miss Tree ( a sister of Miss iVI. Tree, now Mrs. Bradshaw), who will shortly appear- as Juliet! lu Comedy, Mr. Hooper, of the Manchester and Liverpool theatres, will undertake the iiffe which . E. IIistou's secessitui has left vacant. On Saturday an inquest was held before Mr. Whateiey on the bodies- of two females, one eighteen and the other twenty- two years of a^ c, who were found drowned near the bridg- eof the Aston Junction Canal ( Birmingham), on the morning of the same day: It appeared in. evidence that the deceased, who were employed in manufactories, had for some time kept company with two young men, that the parties had been together on the Wednesday and Thursday nig'hts until a late hour, and that both females had repeatedly declared that they had fully determined to drown themselves. It appeared also that their companions remonstrated with them, and upon parting concluded that the deceased went to their homes. They were seen on the following morning by other persons, one of them near the spot where the bodies were afterwards found; but no further evidence was adduced as to the circum- stances under which they met their death, and the jury returned a verdict of found drowned. A County Court was held at Worcester on Wed- nesday, by the High Sheriff, for the purpose of electing a coroner for tbe parish of Dudley, which was attended by several respectable freeholders. The writ having been read, the Rev. Robert Clifton proposed Mr. W. Robinson, of Dudley, . as a fit and eligible person to fill that important ofiice. The nomination was seconded by William Smith, Esq. and there being no opposition, Mr. Robinson was declared duly elected. Mr. R. then expressed his acknowledgments of the honour conferred upon him in a very appropriate manner. BIBLE SOCIETIES IN IRELAND.— Dr. Doyle ( the Roman Catholic Bishop) , has published a Pastoral Charge, in which lie states that the Bible Societies -' have produced more crimes in Ireland than Ihe White boys, or Orangemen";—. thai the fruits of their exertions were, " theft and robbery, and lies, and sacrilege.' The Catholic Association assert, that. C( it will be found, on candid examination, that the principles of religious liberty are fully as well practised in Catholic as in Protestant States V"— We cannot say whether sheer ignorance, or the spirit of falsehood peculiar to Popery, dictated this; but the members of the Association ought to know that the Protest- ant worship is not tolerated iu the Papa! States, the Peninsula, or the free Catholic States of South America. What political privileges Protestants there enjoy would be an useless question.— Gent. Magazine. , . There rs a disposition on the part of certain late members of the Conference.'. Methodist Connection, to : return t< » Mr. Wes! ey's old plan of acting , iu. union with the Church. They propose to. place Ihe govern ment of the connection, not in the hands of the preachers only, like the Conference Methodists, but with two separate houses; Ihe one composed of tra- velling preachers only, and the other of Representat ives, sent by the Leaders, Stewards, and Local Preachers, on each circuit: no law being binding on the societies al large without a consent of a majority of both houses. They will hold no meetings in canonical hours, when there is service in their respective parish church, nor will their preachers administer the sacrament; and, to prevent any deviation from this plan, the chapels will be settled subject to forfeiture to ihe Crown, if these principles be departed from.. The Mull Adver- tiser^ last year noticed lhat this plan bad been named at Beverley, before the Archbishop of York, the Archdeacon of Cleveland, and other clergy, in com- pany; that his Grace was understood lo be friendly lo the measure; and that his examining chaplain, the Venerable and Rev. Archdeacon Wrangham, expressed himself warmly, aud at length, in its praise. The Archbishop uf Dublin has also patronised it ; so has Dr. Souihev, the Poet- Laureat, and numbers of both clergy and laity. Every day furnishes fresh instances of the bold- ness of the financial measures ofthe South American Republics. The Congress'of tbe United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata, having lately established a National Bank, have. now proceeded to enact, that, for the two following years, the Bank shall not pay its notes in. cash, except during the last six months of the year following the date of the law, to the amount of one- third, of the notes in •.- circulation; during the next six months, to the amount of one- half of its circulation; during the iust six months ofthe second year, to the amount of two- thirds of its circulation ; and, even to the partial extent ju which payments in specie may be required, they are to be made only ia ingots of the value ofa thou- sand dollars, and of Jfivo hundred dollars. At the same time, it is decreed, that the notes shall be current for their nominal value throughout the whole territory ofthe Republic.— Thus we. have what, we believe, the world never saw before, the establish- ment of a National Bank, followed almost immedi- ately by a declaration of its inability to meet its engagements ; and, by a suspension of cash pay- ments, it adds not a little to the singularity of the transaction, that this forced circulation of paper money should occur in the very region of gokt and silver, and in a State whose very name, in some measure, connects it with metallic wealth. SOCIETY OF FRIENDS.— A circular letter has been addressed to the Quarterly and Monthly Meetings of the Society of Friends, by Josiah Forsler, clcrk to the meetings this year, which contains the following excellent advice:—" We entreat friends frequently lo inspect into the state. of their affairs, and not to delay the performance of this duty, either from, an appre- hension that things are going on well, or from a fear to know how their accounts really stand. It is a practice which can be injurious to no one^ but it has very frequently been seen, that had it been timely and regularly resorted to, it would in all probability have prevented grievous suffering. Those who hold the property of others, and this may be said to be the case more or ' ess with most who are engaged in trade, are not warranted, on the principles of justice, in neglect- ing to inform themselves from time to time of the real situation of iheir affairs. If men conceal from their nearest connections in life a knowledge of ihe actual state of their property, they may deprive tbetn- elves of salutary counsel, and of a kind participation in trouble; family expenses may be incurred, and subsequent distress may ensue, which might have been avoided. And we particularly advise young persons to be cautious not. to enter too hastily into business, and from the time of their being thus ngaged,; to be very careful to make themselves well acquainted with their annual income and expendil ure. This would be greatly facilitated by their early adopt- ing, and regularly pursuing a clear and methodical system of keeping their accounts in regard both to trade and domestic expenses. We know that the experience and sufTerihgs of the past year in ibis nation have furnished many useful lessons to those who Ijave escaped the troubles of which others have partaken ; and we desire that these lessons may not be without their practical good effect. They should teach us not to trust in uncertain riches,; and they should be a warning to parents to be careful how they enlarge their domestic establishments, and not to bold out to their children .• expectations of ease and abundance, nor to train them up in acts of del. c. scy & indulgence. The Rector, of a parish in Wiltshire, when he sent his answer to the Bishop's Questions, lately circulated through the Diocese, subjoined this testimony to his parishioners.—-" It may give your. Lordship some idea of the moral state of this parish lu know that not a single inhabitant has been convicted, or even accused, in tiwy Court of justice, for any misdemeanour, or other breach of the laws, during my residence within it, which is now more than 15 years." The parish is Alton Barnes, On Wednesday a female in the service of Mr. Norton, batcher, of Maidstone,, went up lo a room on the third floor of her master's house to make a bed. On entering the room, she heard a hissing, and to her . great terror and surprise, saw a viper coiled up, and basking in the sun. We need hot add, the alarming visitor'* was speedily destroyed. It measured eighteen inches in length. Bow it came- there is un- known, and. the only mode that can be imagined with any reason is, that the reptile had, un perceived, " got into the pocket of. Mr. Norton's man, who had been carrying straw, and slept in the rooau where the viper was found. Some days ago, a gentleman from Loudon arrived at Malvc. ru with his carriage and a pair of horsea; soon alter he had alighted at an hotel, Ihe master of the house claimed one of the horses, which it ajijieais WHS stolen from him about eighteen months a » u 1 The gentleman had purchased Ihe horse six mouths. A public. Examination lately i. oo'.; place, in Lon- don, of eight young; persons, half of each sex, and of the same who had been educated for the- last three years after two methods; oue by the ordinary method of teaching', as formerly adopted in ail popular schools, and the other bV the new method of questions, without answers, called the Interroga- tive System, invented and introduced by Sir Richard Phillips. There were about sixty school- masters and governesses present, and nearly ' 290 heads of respectable families. The books used by each in their studies were arranged before them for refer- ence; and then, ofSOflquestionsin popular branches of knowledge, put to the four educated oa the old system, they, collectively, answered but thirty- thres correctly; while, ofthe same questions, ( lie four pupils under the new system answered 153 eor- rettly, and thirty- five with slight errors. Ths, superiority ofthe new system over the old one may therefore be considered as six to one, independently ofthe greater facility which it confers iu writing, spelling, and grammar, which was made evident by the time employed. The questions iti each case were spontaneously given in writing by the com- pany, and answered in writing; yet the answers to the thirty-', hreee questions employed two hours and a half, and the 191 answers bat three hours and five minutes, or less than a minute to each. It seemed like inspiration, and drew forth peals of applauss from the enlightened company assembled. PEACE WITH THE BURMESE — It appears that his Majesty of Ava soon began to entertain doubts cf the policy of that line of conduct which he had adopted in refusing to ratify the. treaty formerly entered into with the Government of India. For, after leaving Pagahmchew, tir A. Campbell was repeatedly met by Messengers from his Burmese Majesty, offering terms of peace, but those terms being short of the original treaty, were instantly rejected by our Commander.— When, however the British Army were within four days'march of the capital, Mr. Price made his appearance, bringing with him the original document, ratified bv the King! A party from the camp afterwards paid a visit to the capital; and were received by the King with every mark of distinction: . The terms of tiid treaty, so far as acquisition of territory goes, arit highly advantageous to us.—^ ee 4lh page. The Conquered Provinces of Ava. [ FROM THE ASIATIC JOURNAL FOR SEPTEMBER.] The provinces of Ye, Tavai, and Mergui, which have been lately subjected W British authority, occupy a narrow strip of land about. SOU miles long by 5l) hroad, nud containing 15,0011 square miics ; il is coo. nued between the sea ou the west, and a rano- e of mountains ou the east, by which it is divided" from Niaso. '/' he moat northerly province is Ye, which borders on the district or Mariabau. Tavai, iu which, indeed, Ye has been usually included, succeeds ; and tho most soiitliejrly. il Mergui, which ia bounded by tli<( peninsula of Malacca. Alouy the « hole line of'coast lie a number of small islands ; but thev are most numerous opposite Msrgut, constituting the Jlergui Archipelago. Tbe province of Ye is of small extent; it is bounded on the north by the Kyaup Kyagee ; on the south by the Kale. eiig Aung district of " Tavai ; ibe mountains » ud the sea shore ure iis eastern and western bound, aries. Its inhabitants were computed at about ft, Olid • but in the disorganization consequent upon the war, and tlic dread of itniranding parties of Siamese, who look advantage of the distracted state of affairs lo carry off the natives, the latter sought refuge in Tavai; aud other places, under British protection ; tli « pro- vince is, consequently, a close jungle, broken at remote intervals by rice- fields of limited extent and those but scantily " cultivated. The town is situated una long hill, about a hundred feet high, ia some parts, above the level of tbe river; which washes its southern base. Tiio soil and climate of the district art- evidently favourable for cullivatiun. Boat timber is abundant, and of good quality, but nn leak grows in the forests : the other products of Ye nre much the sum. as those of Tavai, The province of Tavai, Dawai; or Daws, is bound- ed by Ye lio the north, and Tenasseriiu ou lite south : the mountains and the sea on the east and west ; tb « boundary lint on the north is Hengha rircr ; that on Ibe south is a low range of bills, about four inilpi south from the Pillow river. Tlie province is divided into seventy. eight districts, of which sixteen are within the fort Tbe population amounts to about 20,000 souls. The cleared arid cultivated part docs not exceed fifty square milts. Tlie rest is jungle and forest. The town stands upon tha east bank of the Tuvai river, at about twenty- eight miles from its mouth ; owing to th? numerous shoals, no vessels of ati v bur- then can approach nearer than within sixteen' miles of the town ; but prows, junks, and small craft Us abreast of it, and the Chinese have sunk mud- docks. Where vessals of this class are repaired or built. Op- posite to Crab. Island, where ships anchor, at about twelve miles from the mouth of the river, docks might be constructed for vessels of any si:>. e, which cuuicfba launched at once into fire fathoms water? The province is more billy than the otter parts » f the coast. It is abundantly supplied wilh water being intersected, bv a number of streams running usually S. aud VV. tit short intervals of two or three miles, Although, perhaps, inferior to that of Mnriahan, the soil ofTavai is superior to Mergoi, and only requires cultivation to be rendered eminently productive, Tbe lauds skirting the river consist of a strong clay, without much vegetable superstratum; those along the hills are looiny iu some districts, and light in others. The islands are alluvial. Tobacco, of a tolerably good quality, is grown iu Tavai, but Scarcely in sufficient quantities fur lliff consumption of the province, although it might, no doubt, soon exceed that amount. The Tavajers nre inveterate smokers, and their children may be Seeti whiffling at their segars at two or three Tears of age, Willi as much gravity as their seniors. Indi'- o is cultivated, but not to any extout, althbueb tlie soil aud climate are considered as particularly well adapted to it. Sugar- cane giows, but not of the best sort. .'! !:. » pepper- plant thrives, particularly iu the western districts, and nutmeg trees are to'be met with. The betel, vine grows wild, hut is also cultivated in gar- dens. The areca- tree also grows here, but to a limited extent. Other vegetable products arc carda- moms, nivrohabins, turmeric, besides various medi- cinal barks and roots. Of limber trees there is au endless variety, and many of them lire employed in the construction of vessels, Tbe mines lie iu tiie midst of & dense forest of bamboos and trees. Tbe elephants frequently attack the miner's hut, and cat up all his rice, compellin.' linn to a speedy return to Tavai. lie seldom be.' ina labour until the sun is high, about nine o'clock,? for till then the air is damp and chilly ; Fahrenheit', tlierinonnter exposed to it averaging ( iodeg. while the temperature of the water is from OS to 70 de". To counteract tbe bad effects of damp and cold, Ihe miners use both arrack and opium, but the latter in small quantities. The province is well stocked with cattle, both domestic and wild ; but Ihe favourite breed of tha former is tlie buffalo, which is here a powerful vet docile animal': horned cattle are few. Tbe • lephants completely over- run tbe forests, and rhinoceroses, wolves, monkiei, hears, deer, and wild hogs, are numerous ; the flesh of the two latter is eateu by tlie Tavayprs. Most of tbe finest fruits of India aud the Eastern Islands grow in Tavai. The pine apple, mango, orange, niangosieeti, dorian, melon, and plantains are found in prirntegardens. Neither the maugosteea nov dorian is procured north of this province; tin; former is rather scarce, the latter more abundant; it formed an article uf export lo Rangoon and Marteban the high prices obtained at which places tempted tin' Tavayers to brave, iu open boats, tlie violence of tlie monsoon. Tha dorian was highly esteemed ut the Court of Avn. Tha climate aud soil of Tavai nr « favourable lo the production of European vegetables. The Buruiaus do not eat such quantities of rice at their meals us the natives of lliudoostan. Thev eat twice a dav, rai'ly iu the forenoon aud io the evening and their meals are served up in trajs, iu the Siamese fashion. Their meals tire chopped up, and put iuto cups or saucers, as are different sorts of stewed vege- tables. The rice is distributed ou red lacquered plaics t. 0 all the members of a family, who helo them- selves with spoons to all tbe other dishes, aflbono- h tliey generally cat wi'Ji their fingers. TbeTavavers have no objection to eat at llie same table with an European. They will not always drink spiriious liquors. There are a few amongst tliem who have made a sort of vow to abstain from certain luxuries and indulgencics. They allow their boards to'grow, and are generally more sedate in their deportment than the rest of the people. Tliey do not, however shun society, or debar themselves' from its innocent pleasures.

Termination of the War in India. " CJi. ctiTTS, APRIL 7. " Sir Archibald Campbell and Mr. Robertson, thf Civil Commissioner,- arrived in the Enterprise steam vessel, with the gratifying; intelligence of peace having been concluded with Ihe Burmese. The Treaty was ratified oil Ihe 24th of February, at Validation, within four days' march of Ihe capital. The first instalment of 25 lacs of rupees had been dispatched from Ran- goon by his Majesty's ship Alligator, ten days before ihe Enterprise sailed. The main body of the force in Ava had returned to Rangoon, and several regiments had embarked for Bengal and Madras. All the troops would be ready to leave Ihe Burmese territory by ths time ihe second instalment of twenty. five lacs of rupees would become due, namely, the 4th of June. " The Burmese, by virtue of the Treaty, give up all claim lo Assam, Cachar, and Jyntea, and acknow- ledge Gtimhecr Singh, Rajah of Munnipore. " The British are to retain Arracan, Bamree, Che- iluba, and Sandowey. Tile total amount of the In- demnity to be paid by the Buunese, is one crore of ru pecs. " A Commercial Treaty is to be entered into be. tween both powers, stipulating for freedom of navi- gation, including Ihe commerce ill grain." The Burmese cede lo tbe British the provinces of Veil, Tavoy, Mergui, and Tenasserin. The King of Siam and his subjects are included in tbe stipulations of the treaty. Au accredited British Minister, with an escort of fifty men, is to reside at the Court of Ava, and an accredited Burmese Minister, attended by a similar escort, is to reside al Calcutta. ' ( The next arrivals from Calcutta will be interesting, for it appears there was some severe fighting before his Burmese Majesty acceded to the required con- ditions. f MET a man bovv'd down with years and pain, Lonely and sail i with look of tix'd disdain lie wauder'd from the scenes where diiu- ev'd Cure Aud toil and pleasure iheir own ills prepare.

" A feoarif of initie, at Hnsketon, near Wood- bridge, in the" county of Suffolk, died, leaving a widow and fourteen children, the eldest of which • was a girl, under 14 years of age. He had held under me fourteen acres of pasture land, in four inclosures, at a moderate rent of ±' 13 a year, and had kept two cows, which, wish a little furniture and clothing-, was all tho property that devolved, upon his death, to his widow and children. " The parish of Hasketon is within the district of OTIC of the Incorporated Houses of Industry— one of the first that was erected in the kingdom. The rule ofthe house is to receive all proper objects within the walls, but not to allow any thing for the relief of the out- poor, except in cases of peculiar claim Tbe Directors of the House of Industry, upon being mado acquainted with the situation of the family, immediately agreed to relieve the widow, by taking her seven youngest children into the bouse. This was proposed to her; but, with great agitation of mind, she refused to part with any of her children She said, she would rather die in working- to maintain them, or go herself with all of them into the house, and there work for them, than either part with them ull, or suffer any partiality to bo shewn to any of them. She then declared, that if 1 ( her landlord) would Continue her in the farm, as she called it, she would undertake to maintain and bring up all her fourteen children, without any parochial assistance " She persisted in her resolution; and being strong woman, about 45 years old, I told her she should continue the tenant, and hold it the first year rent free. This she accepted with much thankful ness, and assured me that she would manage for her family without any assistance. " At tbe same time, although without her know- ledge, I directed my receiver not to call upon her at all for her rent; conceiving that it would beagrcat thing if she could support so large a family, even with that indulgence. " The result, however, was, that with the benefit of her two cows, and ofthe land, she exerted herself to as to bring up all her children; twelve of whom she placed out at service, continuing to pay rent regularly of her own accord, to my receiver, every year after tbe first. " She carried part of tho milk of her two cows, together with the cream and butter, every day to sell at Woodbridge, a market town two miles off, and brought back bread and other necessaries; wilh which, and with her skim- milk, butter- milk, & c. she supported her family. The eldest girls took care of the rest while the mother was gone to Wood- bridge; and by degree?, as they grew up, the children went into the service of the neighbouring farmers. " Tbe widow, at length, came and informed me, tbat all her children, except the two youngest, were able to get their own living-, and that she had taken up tbe employment of a nurse, which was a 1- ss laborious situation, and at the same time would enable her to provide for the two remaining children, who indeed could now almost maintain themselves. She, therefore, gave up the land, expressing great gratitude for the enjoyment of it, which had afforded her the means of supporting her family, under a calamity which must otherwise hnve driven both her and her children into a workhouse." OctERVATIONS.— This is nn extraordinary in- stance of what maternal affection, assisted by a little kindness and encouragement, will do. To separate the children of the poor from the parents, is equally impolitic and unkind. It destroys the energy of the parent, and the affections and principles ofthe child. Man is a creature of wants. From them are derived all our exertions. On the, necessity of the infant is founded the affection of the mother ; and among the poor, ( 1 except those eases where parental affection may be chilled and enfeebled by extreme depression of circumstances,) but, generally, among the poor, where that necessity exists in the greatest force, natural affection is the strongest. Among tho rich, children are too frequently tho subject either ol pride or of penitence. The supplying of cottages wilh cons, and with thomeaus of feeding them, will tend to diminish the calls for parochial relief; and to render unnecessary that barbarous system of re- moving the child from its natural and most affec- tionate guardians.— The year's rent remitted, and the lanij continued to this poor widow, not only enabled tier to support and educate her children at home, but was the means of saving the parish o very considerable expense; as the reception and feeding, and clothing ofthe seven youngest children, at tin expense of hardly less than seventy pounds ayear, would probably have been followed by nearly an equal expense with the widow and the other children. Besides this, the encouragement of industry and good management among tiie poor in their cottages, aud assisting them in their endeavours to thrive, will contribute to the increase of a hardy and in- dustrious race of people; and will afford a supply to our markets of eggs, butter, poultry, pigs, garden stuff, and almost every article of lite; tending to lower tbe price of provisions, to prevent monopoly, to enricli tbe country, and to make it powerful both in people and produce, to a degree beyond all cal- culation.—- This was no Utopian scheme. Twenty- five years ago there was not, in any part of Ohio, a Church of any description whatever. There are now, in 1826, one hundred and thirty- six. In the erection of these churchcs every halfpenny expended was voluntarily given. " Dear Sir,— The delusive accounts hnve been ao very prevalent in England respecting Mexico, thai out of pure philanthropy alone 1 feel induced to give JOII a disinterested account of what I have myself experienced since arriving here. The town of Vera Cruz ( or Holy Cross, in Spanish) is, for a Spanish town, apparently rather a cleaner place than I ex- pected to find it; however, the exactions, imperti- nence, and laziness of Ihe Negro porters, with Ihe enormous expense of the discharging boats, is in- famous and intolerable; the accommodations in the inns ( if they deserve the appellation of inns) is equally trying to our patience; the duties arc, in some cases 150 per cent, and money on the coast is held at very high premium. Conveying goods to tbe interior towns is most extravagant, which you may think, when there is no other conveyance to tbe city of Mexico, ( a distance from Vera Cruz about 275 En. glish miles,) than upon the backs of tnulcs, the roads ing very hilly, as well as neglected, lhat it makes it ry precarious travelling; the expense, in some nstances, I have experienced to be equal to Ibe cost f the article, so Ibat it makes one dread the idea of going, lint lo sell one's ventures in Vera Cruz, and o return to happy old England : ihe pleasures which have enjoyed there, make uie more miserable when think of it-— the value of the comforts of life are only known when we lose them. The town of Pueblo, which is about half way, and where we rested after a very harrassing end inconvenient journey, is worse ban the accommodations of Vera Cruz; where, in heir hotels, you would excite ridicule of the native bigots to ask, in their holy city, for such a thing as a bed; the only imitation of . our downy ones is a hard board, or clay floor, unless you bring your own; and where our fine daudy gentlemen cannot complain of the want of bed- fellows, both numerous and warm, here being human souls, brutes, and reptiles in one room;- for there exists so holy nn alliance with the natives among all God's creatures, that they could not think of separating themselves. Ail descriptions of vermin welcoming you to your new abode, but which kindness, I am convinced by experience, an Englishman would ' rather be excused. A foreigner appears to them a new species of brulcs ; but the females attract most notice, anil are ran after by all the little imps of the village. Mud indeed must that nian be, who would quit that captivating society, with all its happy accompaniments, which is to be found in Ihe possession of the meanest subject in England, which with you would seem indispeusibly necessary, but of which a prince here docs not even know the name— tbe expense of duties aud carriage prevents their being used here. After travelling up hill and down hill, al the risk of our necks, wc, at Inst, ar- rived in the so rnuch- talked- of fine city of Mexico. But, if I may be allowed to give yoti my opinion, it is, I think, much inferior to the representations which I have seen. There is nothing like seeing tire reality to be convinced. The women appear in such uncouth figures and dresses, that an Englishman would wish himself again in the company of his amiable Julia. Tbe Holy Cross is the worst place for parents to send their children to: Ibis hospital of licentiousness is equally to he dreaded as the pestilence that rages there. A young man who coines here, is very soon seduced from tbe paths of morality by the coquets that infest the Holy Cross. Some of my ventures htivo paid themselves, but if I must deduct the ex. petise incurred, I think I shall find myself no better than when 1 left you. The market is so extremely glutted, that one might exclaim, in the words of Mr. RUSSIA.— The Allgemeine Zeitnng, under date of Augsburg, August 11, gives rather a minute account of the punishment reserved for those of the Russian conspirators who were not put to death. From the view given of the' manner in which their sentences are to be executed, the penalty of death seems lenient when compared with thehovrid mercy which condemns the offender to march on foot, as a shackled captive, nine hundred English miles', and then to be buried alive, with all the awful ceremonies usually connected with the interment of fhe dead. The account states, tbat " Great criminals are, in general, sent to the silver mines at Nertschinsk, on the frontiers of China. Even the journey to this place ( Augsburg), which is200German ( 900 English) miles from St. Petersburg!!, may be called a capital punishment, as the criminals must go the whole way on foot, fastened together by a long chain, so that great numbers sink under tbe hardships on the road. Those who are let down into the mines for life ( this is the fate reserved for Trubetzkoi, among others) are considered as already dead; the prayers for the dead are said for them, and earth is thrown upon their bodies, as on a corpse that is to be interred Biit even of those who are condemned for some years only to this moBt unwholesome abode, and the hard labour of mining, hardly one ever returns to tho surface ofthe earth. This dreadful place of punish ment soon destroys the strongest constitutions; and even, if they escape with life, their fate is like that of the individuals condemned on the 24th July, so that they can never again leave Siberia, and Herts chir. sk is situated in that part of Russia." PARIS, AUG. 18.— About eighteen months ago Baron James Rothschild married his own niecc, Ihe daughter of his brother, Solomon Rothschild ; tbe latter generally resides in Vienna, but at present is in Paris. All Ihe brothers will set out in a few days for London. These bankers appear determined to ma- nage matters in such a way that their immense riches shall not go out of the family. Another marriage between Ihe children pf two of Ihe brothers will be celebrated in the course of a fortnight in London. The future bridegroom is the young Baron A. S. Rothschild, the son of Solomon Rothschild; tie bride is Ihe eldest daughter of N. M. Rothschild, of Lon- don. The lady is nineteen years of age, extremely beautiful, and highly accomplished; she Speaks French, German, and Italian, wilh the fluency of a native. After the nuptial ceremony is performed, the young couple will proceed to Paris, where a magnifi- cent hotel in the Rued'Artois is already prepared for their reception. Several fetes are to be given by the family on Ihe happy occasion. Mr. Rothschild still continues to interest himself in favour of the unfor- tunate family of Reymond, the clerk who robbed him of £ 80,000, and who was sentenced, at the last Assizes, to eight years' confinement, and to be put in the pillory. Bills lo the amount of £ 800 were found in Reymond's desk after he had absconded ; they have been given up lo his wife, and she will be able to recover the amount. FRENCH VOYAGE ot DFSCOTERF.—' The French J frigate Thetis and Ibe Esperance corvette, commanded by Baron Bougainville and M. Ducamper, have arrived at Brest, afier a short voyage of twenty- eight months. The Thetis sailed from Brest, - Jd March, 1824, and" joined the Esperaiice on the 19th of May following, in Ihe harbour of Bourbon. I ® . de Bon. gainville witnessed at Macao Ihe burning of the convent of St. Claire, the nuns of which were so earliest in remaining faithful lo their vows that one of Ihem was burnt; and in order to save tbe others from Ihe same fale, the priest of a neighbouring parish was obliged to seize, in their presence, an image of Ihe Virgts, and lo call on them in the name of the Virgin to follow him. In Cochin China the Emperor caused Ihe French Captains to be assured that the French commerce should always be favoured in his domi- nions. In the beginning of March, 1825, the vessels discovered in the Anambus a magnificent basin, to hich M. de Bougainville gave the name of Clermont Tonnerre. On Ihe 1st of July tlicy anchored at Sydney, in New Holland; and in an excursion which tbe two Captains made with Ihe Governor, Sir Thomas Brisbane, they discovered a cataract, the fall of which is 1,500 feet, to which Sir Thomas had the politeness lo give the name of Bougainville. The French officers were also indebted io his complaisance for being able to erect a monument lo the immortal La Perouse on the sea shore, on the spot where the illustrious navigator was encamped in Ihe last place where we know of his having stopped. An affecting story is told in the Moniteur of a young slave of the name of Zelie, who was born nt Martinique, and was brought from Guadaloupc lo Paris by her mistress, a lady of tbe name of Made- moiselle Desnoyers. Tbe poor creature, who has heen in Paris three years, heard a conversation between her mistress and a relative about sending her back lo Guadaloupe, where she was again to be sold. She therefore took to flight, and committed herself to the protection of an old colonist whom she recognized in Paris. Her mistress claimed her, but fhe case being heard in ths Justice of Peace Court of tjie second arrondissement, the claim of her mistress was resisted, and a guardian appointed to the infant. THE CUSTOM- HOUSE.— It is said that the Custom- house is to be completed by Christmas. The new foundation of the east wing is completed, nnd lhat of the front next the river is almost done. The exenva. tions nnd fillings- in of the west wing are going rapidly forward, and the ditch has been dug along the greater part of the norlh front.

I) nEAiiriit, STORM.— Vienna, August 17.— On ibe ( Jib August ( says a Idler from Admonl, in Upper Styria), between three and four in the afternoon, dark thunder storms rose on three different sides, and at length jiflned the centre of the valley. 11 became dark as nigbl, and n torrent of ruin gave reason to imagine that tbe tempest would soon pass over, when all at once tbe lightning struck the steeple, passed through the clock inlo the chancel, aud struck two priests who were doing duty there; they were killed on the spot. Every means lo restore animation was employed for hours, but without the smallest effect The electric fluid discharged itself in the form of ball of fire, and nn explosion like that of a large cannon. Large pieces of Ihe cornice and ceiling fell. Those persons who were able filed ; some, struck by tho lightning, lay insensible on the pavement, and strength and solidity. When Ihe London Paper9 of Friday announced the arrival of Major Laing at Timbuctoo without n- ny details, we readily concluded, as we wished it to be, that ho had readied that place in safety. But it appears we have been mistaken ; and tbat the ac. count of his misfortunes, which we received several weeks ago through a channel exclusively our own, is unfortunately confirmed. Subsequently to his leaving Twat the caravan with which he was travelling was attacked nnd dispersed by a banditti of barbarous Arabs, in which attack the Major was unfortunately severely wounded in the shoulder, and his servant killed. This misfortune will, it is apprehended, oblige Major Laing to return again to Tripoli, instead of prosecuting his journey down Ihe Niger, and solving the great geographical problem, ibe course and termination of tbat celebrated River. We shall still hope that he will proceed, as we conceive he runs more danger in returning across ihe Desert lo Tripoli than in descending the Niger to tbe ocean. But on this subject, we must admit, that he is the best judge.— Glasgow Courier. PRESUMPTIVE EVIDENCE.— A few years pre- vious to the organization of the police cavalry ond infantry, by tbe Count de Novion, ( an officer of great merit, and who is at Ihis moment living in a corner of Brittany, neglccted by Ihose of w hom he deserves a belter recompense,) Ihe number of atrocities, com. milted at all hours of Ihe day, elicited nil order of government, prohibiting the carrying about any pecies of arms, and empowering tbe civil patrols to stop and consider as murderers any w ho should be found to infringe this law.

PROOFS or THE FLOOR.— In the Gulf of Venice, on the coast of Dalmalia, there is a small island, delineated in foreign charts, so full of human bones at all depths, constituting as it were, in many places, part of the rock, thai it is called ossero.

STRF. NGTH OF LEADEN PIPES.— Experiments upon this subject have been made at Edinburgh, by' Mr. Jardine, at the Water Company's yard. The method was fo close one end of a piece of pipe, and then inject water into it by means of a forcing pump attached to the other end, the force or pressure be- ng measured by a gauge belonging to the pnmp. When the water from the injecting pump begins to press out the pipe, little or no alteration is observed ' ii it for some time. As the operation proceeds, however, the pipe gradually swells throughout its whole length, until at last a small protuberance is observed rising in some weak part, which increases until fhe substance of the pipe, becoming thinner and thinner, is at last rent asunder, when the pip bursts with a crash, and the water issues with great violence. In the first experiment, the pipe was of one and a half inch bore; and the metal, which was remarkably soft and ductile, one- fifth of an inch in thickness. This sustained a power equivalent to tbat of a column of water 1000 feet high ; equal to 30 atmospheres, or 4201b. per square inch of internal surface, without alteration; but with a pressure equal to 1200 feet of wafer, it began to swell, and with 14f> 0 feet, or 6001b. on the square inch, it burst. When measured, after the experiment, it was found to have swelled until ofa diameter of one inch and three quarters. The edges ofthe fracture were not ragged, but smooth and sharp like a knife. THIS WORKS AT THE NEW LONDON BRIDGE — The erection of this public fabric proceeds with' great rapidity. The centres for the second arch are nearly finished, and are visible over the parapets of the old bridge. The mode by which these centres are constructed is very ingenious. The wood and iron w ork is formed and put together at Messrs. Jolliffe and Banks's establishment, at the Isle of Dogs, where the sections of the centre are finished ready for placing in position at the new bridge, These gigantic pieces of wood- work, forming a semicircle, are then floated to about 50 yards above the site ofthe new bridge on the Surrey side, where two barges are moored to each other. The barges are so constructed as to admit, as the tide falls, a body of water, by which they are nearly filled, and thus brought almost to a level with the surface of the river; the centres are then, by the operation of powerful machinery, first brought horizontally on to the barges, and then, by the same agency, raised perpendicularly across the middle of them, and secured in that position. As the tide rises, fhe water is let out of the barges, and at high water they are floated down to the works where the arch is to be turned. The state of the tide at thisjuncture' is such, as to bring the centres, thus temporarily fixed on the barges, almost even with tbe piers on which they are to be based ; and, by the operation of powerful mechanism, these ponderous centres ( each weighing nearly 40 tons) are placed in their position at the new bridge. The celerity with which the works proceed, mnst be no less satisfactory to fhe public, than creditable to the contractors ; and | although the period at which the New London Bridge is stipulated to be finished embraces ( we be- lieve) four or five years from this time, there is, from appearances, every probability that it wil! be erected before Ibat period, as the first arch will, we fenrn, be turned by the close of the present year. COMMERCIAL REVULSIONS.— Tbe pernicious ef- fects of mercantile miscalculation and ignorance are strikingly exhibited, ill the overstocking of such new markets as are occasionally opened, aud in filling them with articles totally nnsuited to the wants and habits of the people. Leith and several Other towns havo not yet recovered from the bank- ruptcies that' followed the overloading of the Conti- nental markets in 1814 and 1815'. But the exporta. tions consequent upon the first opening of the trade to Brazil, Buenos Ayres, and the Caracca^, were, in this respect, still more extraordinary^ The practical men gave, on this occasion, full scope to the spirit of speculation; and carried it to- an extent which we theorists would, but for the evidence of the fact, have affirmed was quite impossible. We afe in- formed by Mr. Mawe, an intelligent traveller, -. Tho was resident in Rio Janeiro at the period in question, that more Manchester goods were sent out in the course of a few weeks than had been consumed in the 20 years preceding; and the quantity of English goods of all sorts with which the city was deluged, was so very great, that warehouses could not be provided sufficient to contain them, and tbat tbe most valuable merchandize was actually exposed for weeks on the beach to the weather, and to every sort of depredation I But it was chiefly in the election of the articles sent to Brazil that these practical gentlemen made the most characteristic- display of their peculiar talent. Elegant services of cut glass and china were offered to persons whose most splendid drinking vessels consisted of a horn or shell of acoeoa- nnt; tools were sent out, having a hammer on the one side and a hatchet on the other, as if the inhabitants had had nothing more to do than to break the first stone they met with, and then cut the gold and diamonds from it; and some speculators, more knowing than the rest, and ready, we doubt not, to rail in good set terms against Mr. Iluskisson for indulging in visionary theories, filled a warehouse with skates, for the particular use of those who had never seen ice, ana who could with difficulty be brought to believe in its existence!— The wide- spread distress and ruin which followed these exportations, is plainly and incuntestably to be ascribed to the gross and almost inconceivable ignorance of those by whom they were made. If there be one species of knowledge more essential to a merchant than another, it is that heshould be acquainted with the various productions of the different commercial countries of the world, and of those which are in demand in them. And when ships are freighted, and commodities sent abroad, by those who are so entirely destitute of this elementary instruction, ns to send skates to Rio Janeiro, the wonder is not that they should sometimes calculate wrong, but that they should aver calculate right. SWITZERLAND.— Switzerland the Scotland of Europe; a land that supplies servants— a land to be boasted of by its inhabitants, and quitted. The Swiss, like the Scotch, are all of good families, and of old families; I should like much to see a person from either nation of a bad family or n new family; so all persons who follow that branch of the profes- sion of the law are good conveyancers, however dull they may be; I would cheerfully travel one hundred miles on foot through the. snow, in the depth of winter, to look at a bad conveyancer. The quarrels amongst the different cantons are very idiculous; each petty state will have its separate coinage, to the unspeakable inconvenience of travel- lers ; they cannot agree to have one general money, so ccrdially do they hate each other. The mutual dislike of the neighbouring inhabitants of Geneva and the Pays de Vaud is extremely strong; a good Vaudois, of an old family complained to me most bitterly of the Genevese, and lamented that they had been turned into Swiss, and their country made one of the cantons; he insisted, in a great rage, that the wretches ought to have been handed over to tbe King of Sardinia, if he would have accepted of them. It should seem that they endeavoured to prove them- selves to be not unworthy of his contempt, by re- quiring a passport at the gate, before they would permit their follow- countryinen to enter their old town. Journal of a Traveller on the Continent. THUNDER- STORM.— On the evening of the 25th ult. the neighbourhood of Cheltenham was visited by repeated flashes of the most vivid lightning, succeeded by tong and tremendous peals of thunder and torrents of rain— the fearful indications of the storm, whose fury was severely felt at Salperton, the seat of John Browne, Esq. About seven o'clock, an extremely black cloud was observed approaching from the vale over the Cotswold Country, accompanied by most violent gusts of wind; and in the space of three minutes only, the destruction of windows, occasioned by hailstones, some of which measured four inches and a half iu circumference, was truly astonishing. In the south- west side of Salperton House, not less than one hundred and sixty- nine panes of glass were shat- tered, and sixty- four panes in the windows of tho Church adjoining.— The glass in the extensive greenhouse was completely demolished, and the expense of repairing the damage thus caused is estimated at nearly one hundred pounds. The most extraordinary circumstance attending this storm, was the shortness of its duration, as the violence of the wind impelled the cloud beyond the house in the short space of three minutes! At Hawling, the, windows of a house belonging- to Mr. Cooke, farmer, sustained damage to the amount of. ten pounds. It is not perhaps generally known that it is illegal to plough up a public foot- pain. In Oxfordshi lattly, a person was fined 50s, for Ihis offence. The late Admiral Coipoys, who rose to the highest rank and honours in his profession from his own merit and exertions alone, used fo be fond of stating, that on first leaving a humble lodging to join his ship as a midshipman, his landlady presented him with a Bible and a Guinea, saying — " God bless and prosper you, my lad, aud as long as you live never suffer yourself to be laughed out of your money or your prayers?" advice which he sedulously followed through life. FATAL ACCIDENT.— On the 28th ulf. as a boy, about 12 years old, named Pettifer, was working with his father at Cleeve Hill, Gloucestershire, the latter having dislodged a large stone, left it, as usual, to roll clown info the hollow. Observing his son, whom he had sent down the hill to prepare for dinner, in a direction where the stone must pass, he called out to him to move: the lad heard the eautios, but did not seem to understand it— when, unfortunately, the stone came in contact with the poor fellow, whose thigh, at the knee joint, was actually smashed. He was taken to the Casualty Hospital, to undergo amputation ; but the powers of life never sufficiently recovered the shock of the accident to admit of the operation, and he expired at half past six o'clock the same evening. During the evening of ihe 25lh ult. we were visited by one of the most violent storms that have been remembered for many years. A mill, the property a- Mr, Fyson, at Sto- wmarket, was entirely destroyed by the lightning, and other property, amounting in value to between three and four hundred pounds The lightning at Bury was first seen about half- past seven, and gradually increased for about an hour, when it waft seen in every quarter, and the sky ex. bibited nil almost unceasing and continued expanse of light. So vivid % vas the lightning, and so frequent, that Ihe pebbles in the streets, aud other minute objects, might be seen from tbe chamber windows, with nearly as much facility as by daylight. There was, comparatively speaking, little thunder ; nor that, till the scattered clouds collected themselves, about half pasl nine, when some loud crashes were heard. The lightning was generally sheet, and not supposed to be of so dangerous a nature as ibe other; though, nt intervals, some of tbe finest specimens of forked and globular lightning that were ever seen in this county were emitted from the north- east aud tbe north west.^- Burij Gazette. FEMALE TREACHERY— A family residing not a great way from Stroud, were, on Thursday morning, thrown into a state of tbe greatest confusion bv the following singular occurrence: a young lady, who bad been visiting at the house of the family for about a fortnight, a'nd was to have been married lo a son of her host's on Friday, the 25th nit. after a courtship of 3 years, ond for which, every preparation had been made, on Ihe morning in question was missing from her bed. room! A » Ihe house stands within 4 feel of Ihe Thames and Severn Canal, and the window of the room where the young lady slept overlooks the canal at an elevation of 20 feet. It was at first sup. posed Ibat she had precipitated herself inlo Ihe water in her sleep; and tlie young man, her intended, was nearly in a state of distraction. Drags were procured lo search for the body ; but judge of the surprise of all concerned, when about 9 o'clock the church bells sli- nck out a merry peal, and a messenger arrived to state lhat Ihe young lady was safely united in the holy bands of wedlock lo a cousin of her late intended, after a courtship ( unknown lo any but the parlies themselves) of ten days ! The feelings of the voting man who was deceived by the frail fair one it is im- I possible to describe. Fifty- three years ago, Mr. Wm. Mossop, of Board Hall, near Broughton io. Fulness, when a boy, placed a small Fell- beck trout in a well in the orchard be- longing to bis family, where it has ever since remained until last week, when it departed this life, not through sickness or any other infirmity attendant on old age, but for want of its natural element, water, the severe drought drying up the spring which supplied the well, a circumstance unknown for the hist 60 years.

At several times trouts were put into I he well, which were instantly devoured by Ibe solitary inmate, who had increased in size, and weighed about two pounds. Time had certainly changed poor " Ned's" appearance, once being a fat, well propor- tioned trout, but lately resembling a small codfish.

ON THE POISON OF THIS TOAD.— In the second part of the Philosophical Transactions for the pre. sent year, lately published, is inserted a paper by Dr. Davy, F. R. S. on the above named subject: of which, as it concerns a common and popular ques- tion, our readers may not be uninterested in having some account. The Doctor observes that in every country in which this animal is found it is considered poisonous by the common people; and the opinion may be traced back to a very remote antiquity. Of late years the notion has been rejected by the pro- fessed naturalist, and placed in a number of vulgar prejudices; but in this, as in some other instances, he conceives the common and long received opinion is well founded, and that ofthe philosopher hastily and erroneously formed. Upon examination he found a peculiar fluid secreted just under the skin of the animal, which exudes by slight pressure, and will occasionally squirt to a considerable distance It is of a thick yellowish kind; and he collected a quantity of it, which was subjected to chemical ex- amination, and its characters minutely described. Dr. Davy tried its effects, and found tbat when absorbed and carried into the circulation it has no injurious effect. This was tried by inoculating a chicken with it; but it has strong acrid properties, and ifappliedto the hand oceasioiisasmartingsensa- tion, the effects of which last for two or three hours Reflecting on the use which this fluid may be of to the toad, it occurred to him that it may answer two purposes of importance to the animal. The first is, that as the external surface of the skin is smeared with this " sweltered venom," ( the very appropriate epithet given it by our great dramatic poet) it must serve to defend it against the attacks of carnivorous animals: " a toad toeat," is a proverbial expression well known, and tbe tacts adduced show its pro- priety aud force; and this purpose is seconded by the provision which nature has made against the same evils in giving the toad integuments of unusual thickness, elasticity, and strength, so that it is diffi- cult even to cut through them. The second use which Dr. Davy supposes this fluid to answer, is, that it is capable of separating a portion of carbon from the blood, and thus assisting the functions of the lungs. He is led to this inference from certain physiological observations detailed in the paper. CAPITAL EXECUTION FOR HERESY.— Extract of a letter, dated Madrid, August 8:—" About two years ago, a schoolmaster, of Rtisafa, a suburb of Valencia, named Ripole, was taken up as a Liberal, and a man that had never heard mass. After suffer, ing in Ihe prison of Sao Narciso the greatest hard- ships, he was ultimately sentenced " to be hung for heresy. At 11 o'clock on Monday, the 31st ult. he was taken from prison, and made to march quick time behind a carl lo Ibe gallows; on the carl was placed 311 empty cask, painted with flames, devils, & c. which cask served him afterwards for a coffin, in which be was buried outside Ihe churchyard. The churches by which he passed on his way to Ihe gallows were all closed, and Ihe saints stuck up in the streets, covered with black: the crosses were taken down from the gallows ; in short, every thing belonging to religion was put aside. The unfortunate man be- haved wilh the greatest composure, and on the scaffold said that he bad always lived a good Christian, and that he died the same. By all accounts he was a most charitable character, giving every thing to Ihe poor that he did not absolutely stand in need of himself. He used to go to the poor people's houses and instruct their children gratis, and by many acts of this kind showed llial be well understood the Irue meaning of religion, and practised it. A Junta has heen ap- pointed in Madrid, to report upon the effects tbe change ill Portugal may produce upon Ihe minds of the Spaniards, at the head of which is Father Cirilo. EQUITABLE DEVICE.— An old Italian, on his death bed, left little lo his widow, except a fine horse, and a favourite cat; desiring, however, that the horse might be sold, and the price employed in masses for his soul. The widow sent the horse aud Ihe cat lo market, with an injunction to sell the horse for a crown, but not except Ihe purchaser also bought Ihe cat for 400 crowns. In this way she with ease lo her conscience got the money for her own use. FORGED BANK NOTES.— Some £ 10 and £ 1 forged Bank of England notes ( signed " J. Hogben,") hare' been passed within these few days in Worcester? they were so well executed as to deceive the most' practised eye ; the public therefore should be Ver/ careful of whom they receive Bank notes. ROLLS COURT.— Important Decision.— A decision! was lately pronounced by the Master of the Rot Is.- which will compel the Bank of England to make aii important alteration in one branch of its practice; Hitherto, when a testator has bequeathed stock int the public funds to a legatee, the bank has refused to allow such stock to be transferred into the name of the executor, without the concurrence of the legatee. This rule bad frequently been complained of by executors, as throvdng difficulties in the way of the discharge of theii^ Uities, but it had never been formally resisted. Lately, however, a Mr. Franklin, an executor of his father, applied to have sfock transferred to him, which was standi ™ ? in his father's name, and was the subject of specific b?- quest. The bank, acting upon their usual rule, refused to permit the transfer, unless Mr. Franklin satisfied them that the stock was wanted for the payment of the debts of the deceased. This hfj' declined doing, but, on the contrary, he immediately commenced a suit in Chancery against the bank. The suit was begun in May, ,1825; it went through all the regular stages; witnesses were examined,, and, finally, it came on to be heard before the Master of the Rolls. The decision was, that the" bank had no right to look beyond the legal title of the executor— that the authority which they had assumed in matters of this kind was a usurpation without, any foundation in the law of the land— and that they were bound to transfer the stock to tbe executor, Whenever he called upon them to do so. Hisllonour uot only pronounced adecree against the bank, but ordered them to pay to all tbe parties the costs of tbe suit. The consequence is, that the bank, must, for the future, abandon that course of pro- ceeding which it has hitherto followed. It must not be'forgotten, that the rule upon which the bank was wont to act ( though, as it now appears, without any authority for doing so), was attended with some advantages. It in fa'ct operated as a protection to' legatees against needy and dishonest executors; and it is perhaps a question, whether its operation in that respect did not more than counterbalance any other inconveniences which flowed from it. IMPORTANT TO BANKRUPTS— io Ihe Vice- Chancellor's Court on Monday, the assignees of a bankrupt, named Stafford, were ordered to pay the bankrupt's widow £ 200, under tbe provisions of tbe old Act, which declares that every bankrupt whose estate should have paid 10s. in the pound, should be infilled lo five per cent, on the sum divided, provided* such allowance did not, in the whole, exceed £ 200. Tbe ground ou which this claim had been disputed was, Ibat the bankrupt was dead when the dividend was paid. In the conrse of a case which lately came before the Vice- Chancellor, that learned person said, « any security given by a member of a firm on his own private account, could not bind the other members ofthe firm without their consent." There is at this moment a person of the name of Thomas Drutnmotid, working as a common pit- man in New Painsher Colliery, near Houghton- le- Spring, in the county of Durham, whom we firmly believe to be the heir at law and lineal descendant of James Drummond, who wa » grandson of the | fourth Earl of Perth, and who joined the Pretender at Culloden, and, after that unfortunate affair, waa obliged to secrete himself to preserve his life. Thispoor man, now living in the humblest situation of life, is perfectly aware of his rights as the descendant of the chief of one of the most respect- able clans in Scotland, and is anxiousto assert themr but is without the means. His case has already engaged theattention of a professional genealogist, Mr. Fitz- Strother, of Barnards Inn, London, who entertains no doubt of the justice of his claims. We have little hesitation in saying, that, if from one to two hundred pounds were advanced to enablo him to go through the preliminary formalities re quired, we think the proceedings would be so far forwarded, that in the very next Session an Act of Parliament might be passed to restore him to bis rank, honours, and dignities, as Earl of Perth, if not to the hereditary estates also.— Tync Mercury. About five years since, one of the principal landed proprietors at Leamington, offered to sell 60 acres on the North side of tb- e town for £ 8,000, and would gladly hare taken that sum; the same land has recently realized fifty- five thousand pounds, and upon this site houses are now iu pro- gress producing handsome ground rents to the1 purchasers. Recount of the Introduction of Potatoes into England.— The Board of Agriculture R" port tells- us ( of this most useful aud now universally well- known root) that it is a native of America, and was familiar to the Indians before the conquest of Mexico and Peru. It was called by them, amongst other names, " openaux :" and in the History of the new- found- land Virginia, by Heriot ( a follower of Sir Walter Raleigh, and printed in 1588), is described as " a kinde of root of round form, some of the bigness of wallnuts, some farre greater, which are foand in moist and marish grounds, growing many together one with the other iu ropes, as if they were fastened by a string." " Being bo- vied," ha says, " or sodden, they are verie good meate." Gerrard, in his " Herbal," is the first author who gives the figure ofthe potatoe plant. He calls it by the name of " polarum tuberosum," which name has been followed by Linneeus and his disciples. Sir W. Raleigh, after returning from America in 1586, is said to have first given it to his gardener in Ireland, as a fine fruit from America, and which he desired him to plant in his kitchen- garden in the spring. In August this plant flourished, and in September produced a fruit, but so different to the gardener's expectation, that in an ill- humour he carried the potatoe- apple to his master. " Is this," said he, " the fine fruit from America you prized so highly?" Sir Walter either was, or pretended to be, ignorant of the matter, and told the gardener, since that was the case, to dig up the weed, anil throw it away. The gardener soou returned with it good parcel of potatoes. It was cultivated in ths gardens of the nobility and gentry early in the seventeenth century as a curious exotic, and towards the close of it ( 1684) was planted out in the fields in small patches in Lancashire, from whence it was gradually propagated all over the kingdom, as well as in France. Though tolerably common, they were in James the First's time considered as a great delicacy, and are noticed, among various other articles to be provided for the Queen's household ; the quantity of them was at this time, however, extremely small, and the price what would now b ® thought excessive, viz, 2s. per pound.
