J _ The Palace, which is erected to its height, on! v want- ing the balustrade, forms three sides of a quadrangle, the area being not far from equal, and forming a clear space of about 2& 0 feet in diameter. The main feature is, of course, the central entrance, facingeast, towards the Canal arid the Horse Guards. This isa portico, of two orders of architecture in height ; the lower is the Doric, copied from the Temple of Theseus at Allien* ; the. upper is the Corinthian, and much resembles that style in the Pantheon at Rome.— This portico is so emu ived, that, upon tiie ground, carriages can drive through it ; while, above, there is an open and spacious gallery, covered by a pediment on which statues are to be placed-— and nnd> r which is a long panel, £ lled with " gnies in high relief. it is understood that HIH enhance is to he exclusively appropriated for the admission of his Majesty and the Royal Family. The same order which is adopted in the lower parts of the portico ( the Doric) is carried round the three sides of the court.* At each side of the portico, termi- nating the centre front, is a pavilion, where the orders are again applied; surmounting which is an attic, towering above the other parts'of the building, and decorated with pilasters and caryatides. At the anole on the Pimlico side, we observe that the old octagon library of Buckingham House has been suffered0 to remain; the intention of the architect is mentioned to be to raise it considerably; ami embellish il after the manner of the Temple of ' the Winds. At the opposite angle, namely, that towards Constitiition Hill, there is a circular projection, for some internal purpose, which irregularity is, we presume, attributable to the parlia- mentary grant confining the architect to the old fou ndations. There are three tiers of windows, all having archi- tectural decorations ; the middle lier having embossed friezes formed , of oak leaves antl ribands. Over Ihe ledinienl, or centre, Will he seen a dome, which i « toyiever, at the back of the Palace, over the state cham- bers, which we shall describe by and by ; fur the present, we only mention it as completing the front view of ihe building as il will appear from tiie Park. The north and south sides of the quadrangle are only tnvo stories high. In th6 centre of each there is also a! i entrance, over which is a turret, ou one side for a clock, on tbe other for n wind- dial. These are sur- mounted by figures of Time and ( we believe) Eoltt,. Again, at each extremity, the building is raised, and* roofed in a temple- like form, presenting the ends towards the Park wiiXenriched pediments. The front* of these wings have niches containing statues, with which other parts of tlie palace are also occasionally studded. From wing io wing there will extend a circular antl highly enriched railing; in the centre of which, directly opposite to the grand entrance, is to be placed ihe Triumphal Arch. Having thus endeavoured to convey an accurate idea of the Palace, as seen in tbe main front; we will pass round hy Pimlico, and describe ihe outlines of Ibe three oilier fronts. First, Ihe south, towards Pinilico. Hero we are presented with the general entrance lo llie Palace ; a concave circular Ionic colonnade and lodo- es. The only other prominent feature on this side is* tbe Octangular tower which we have already noticed; the remainder of this range being chiefly allotted to Hie domestic offices. Second this brings us to the west front in Ihe garden, which is, of course, the back of the centre building of tbe quadrangle. The outline of this is striking nnd picturesque ; btviug. boldly broken into massive funnsj— projections which afford corresponding shadows and relief. The centre of this front iscircula » \, embellished with columns ofthe Corinthian order, sup- porting the dome already alluded to. He're also, from one projecting part to another, level with the middle or principal tier of windows ( i. e. those of the suite of state- rooms), runs a stone balcony and balustrade, sup- ported by corbels of a mixed character— Gothic and Italian, masques of chimera blended with wings and scrolls of foliage. But the most important featurs on this side, is nn extensive, terrace, from which there are descents by various flights of steps into tbe grounds. The front of this terrace is nistii- ated^ and has a balustrade, on the pedestals of which are placed vases of antique and classical models; and at each extremity stands an open Ionic - temple; intended to be used as summer con- servatories. . Following this terrace to the north, we are brought $ thirdly, to the north front facing Piccadilly, and iTr. it* considering its appropriation, the most interesting portion of the palace. Here are the King's private apartments, and cabinet picture gallery. Architectu- rally speaking, this is of the same style and character With the garden front, just left, but of lighter propor- tions. It is well known that his Majesty has always preferred comparatively small. and compact apartments to those ofa more stately description; and we need hardly add, . that his good taste has been consulted m the arrangement of this division of the palace. Here also, we find the terrace continued, and the Ionic, temple conservatory balanced at the other extremity by a similar structure. Thus, his Majesty's windows look osH between these conservatories, upon the flower- garden which is spread below. Our present object being rather to aid spectators on looking at the Palace to form au idea of what it is we shall not attempt to delineate its internal arrangements. We shall merely say, that on the principal floor of the centre, between the east and west suits of rooms ( tbe latter bfeiiig, as was observed, those for state occasions'* runs a splendid picture and statue gallery ( the whole length of the building), which is to be " lighted in n peculiar manner, so as to throw over every production of ait that portion which is requisite for its perfect exhibition. The visitor is led to this up the grunt! stairs, nnd through several rooms, in which will he disposed Ihe King's rare and magnificent collection of armour. The floors throughout are fire proof, formed of iron joists, and arched witli hollow bricks of a singular construction. All the roofs will be flat, formed ofthe same materials, ond in the same way as the floors and covered with a cement, or inaslic composition, invented by ( lie late Lord Stanhope. Willi regard to the grounds, we ore nt a loss how to describe tile extraordinary improvements that have been made, and ( be variety antl beamy that have been produced by the talent exercised in laying them out. Not long ago litis was a common cow- field, flat uud covered with rank grass. It is now admirably undu- lating ; assumes all the appearances of natural hill and dale, is finely wooded, diversified with flowering and evergreen shrubs, with fine lawns broken into parterres and possessing a noble serpentine piece nf waler, so disposed as to give the idea of great extent. This waler winds round clumps of forest trees, which have been preserved for Ihe purpose, and all that cnultl be retained of the previously existing scene. It is supplied from a large circular reservoir ( near Ihe top of the hill at Hyde Park corner), which is fed by a main from the Serpentine River. This reservoir, almost like a Roman work for magnitude, may, we think, be made a beauti- ful feature in the new gardens; here, indeed, we should like to see what London is so deficient iu copious and refreshing fountains! At the south- west side of the garden is au artificial mount, but of superb dimensions, which has been thrown up to mask the stables belonging to his Majesty at Pimlico. It is covered with young trees and the larger species of shrubs, so disposed as to present from the Palace windows an appearance very similar to some ofthe Jake scenery of Westmoreland and Cumberland, w here its featur es are not upon the greatest scale. While upon this subject, we may take the opportunity of setting the public right with respect lo the erections now going on » t Hyde Park, though totally unconnected with the Palace or its grounds. The building at the corner of Grosvenor- plaee is simply a lodge for Saint James's Park, corresponding with that on the opposite side of the road for Hyde Park. The other building between the latter lodge and the Duke of WellinotonV house, is a Triumphal Arch, to mark, in a more distin- guished manner, tbe principal entrance to that fine park. * It consists of fluted columns, which are beautifully work- ed, of cast- iron, and really extraordinary a- peciuiens of founding. Earl Fitzwilliam has returned to this country from his visit to his estates in Ireland. His Lordship was among the numerous visitors who have been Jo view the Conway and Meuai bridges. His arrival at Went worth House is daily expected. Lod^ in^ s have been taken for his Lordship for Doncasler races. .

His POMADE REGENERATRICE, for the Growth and Preservation of the Hair; to which J. DELCROIX has particularly directed his Studies, and which has led him to the - Discovery of this valuable Compound, | composed of several Plants, the great Properties of j which, for the Growth of the Hair and preventing its falling off, have been hitherto but partially known in j this Country ; it woiuld be superfluous here to enlarge j on the Merits of this Compound, as a short Trial wily fully evince its Efficacy.

As there is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE, a Person has the Pretension to say that he is the only j Proprietor of the genuine Article, when in Fact lie is J perhaps the only one that has not the genuine Bear's J ( irease ; but if the Purchasers will give themselves tbe Trouble of smelling it with Attention, they will easily discover the Deception, his Composition being a Mix- j ture of Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, and Mutton Suet, perfumed with a little Bergamot ; which, from having analyzed it, J. DELCROIX can assert to be a Fact. Stjch Composition, in Lieu of being beneficial ty the j Preservation or Growth of the Hair, has a decidedly contrary effect ; Oil of Almonds, in particular, being of a very desicative Nature, and not of a nutritive one ; whereas GBNUINE Bear's Grease certainly may be re- garded as one of the best Articles for promoting the ) Growth of the Hair. Therefore, to prevent the Public from falling into Error by using such Imitations, which are so insulting to the common Understanding, and in Order to detect the spurious from the genuine Beards Grease, J. DELCROIX begs to give a brief Description | of it : — The Fat of the Animal, when he receives it in Casks I from Russia, is rather offensive, and of a Yellow Reddish j Hue, but when purified, it resembles very much the ! Mixture of Veal Fat and Beef Marrow, with less of; Tinge, and although it is of moderate Consistence, yet it is of an oily arnd rich Nature.

By private letters from Calcutta, dated 5th of March, it appears that on the 30th January, a force of between 400 and 5C0 Burmese, posted at a place called Watumaehoote, were charged by a party of the Go?< puor General's Body Guard, under Lieut. Trant, and dispersed. On the 9th February, the enemy nere attacked by the force under Sir Archi- bald Campbell, and completely defeated, at a place called Paghamevv, which was captured, together with 40 pieces of artillery and liO jingalls. Sir A. Campbell, with a small escort, is stated to have been at one time complefely surrounded, but the enemy were speedily put to the route, and about 500 of them were either killed or drowned, being driven into the River ut the point of the bayonet.— Our loss appears to have beeu extremely trilling. Lisbon Gazettes to the 27th ult. were received on Thursday, and their contents are of considerable importance, it appears, by an official statement, that the Portuguese Capital had been the scene of a conspiracy, whose object was to proclaim a new King and a new Regency; hut it is not mentioned in whose favour this treasonable enterprise was conceived. We suppose, however, the neve King, if proclaimed, would have been Don Miguel; and the new liegency would have had at the head of it, the Queen Dowager. The principal conspirators were the cavalry corps of police, excited, as we are told, " by Chiefs not belonging to that corps," and expecting to be joined by other corps stationed in the capital, in case they did not collect a sufficient force to accomplish their projects, they intended to proceed to Villa Franca, there to watch the move- ments of ttie capital and its garrison; and if they found the enterprize abortive, to follow the example ofthe two disbanded regiments, aud desert to Spain. The Portuguese Government, apprised of the con- spiracy, adopted effectual measures for defeating it at the time: but it ia by no means clear that the danger was over. It is evident, that a spirit of disaffection baa been extensively excited throughout Portugal, by the promulgation of the new Charter. At the same time, there is nothing in the aspect of affairs, in that country, which leads us to doubt the assurance given by the Government, that the system estab- lished by the King will, " in spite of its infamous enemies, be as durable as the nation, of which it will constitute the happiuess." The Paris Papers have been received in due course. From an article in the Pilotc, it would appear that things are far from being settled at Constantinople. According to this account, on the 4th nit. the Sultan was attacked, on his way to prayers, by the populace, who, in the first instance, gained some advantage over the soldiery. A scene of' bloody retaliation followed, aud some hundreds perished on the occasion. The slaughter of every one who " appeared to be Buspieious" continued through the- succeeding day. The Sultan appears resolute to extirpate not only all who have been, hut all who might become his enemies. Thus a species of Dervishes, called Mus- taches, have been suppressed ojt a charge of unbelief, und nf seditious principles, although devout ami fanatical lo excess; some of them have been put to death, and the rest, with their thief, banished to Asia ; their convents, which stood on the Oanul and at Ncutaria, are pulled downy they were friends of the Janissaries. A number of the members of the corps of Uletnas have been executed; and Ismail Eftendi, formerly Ambasssador at Loudon, has been banished. A contractor for the Janissaries and a banker, both Jews, have been strangled. Their joint properly, amounting to30,000,000 piastres, has beeucouli'scated. Popery proceeds in Spain, with a firm step, to recover all her ancient terrible authority. At Valencia, where a school- master was lately hanged for heresy, a Jew has since been burned for judaism. The golden age of the Inquisition ia rapidly returning ! On Tuesday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, Josiah Alexander, Esq. M. P. Sir John Scott Lillie, Mr. Kynastou, Master Alexander, the son of Mr. Alexander, aud a Sir. Dunn, were proceeding from one of the Margate steam- packets off the Tower through London Bridge, when unfortunately the boat came in contact with some of the works of the new bridge, and was immediately sunk. Other boats put out as soon as possible, one of which took up Sir John Scott Lillie, who appeared to be a good swimmer, with the son of Mr. Alexander ( a boy about eight or nine years old, who could not swim), who was supported iu the water by Sir John Liilie ; another boat took up Mr. Alexander, nnd a third Mr. Kynaston, but Mr. Dunn unfortunately sunk to rise no more. The deceased is understood to have left a large family behind him, several members of which are remaining at Margate, wiieuce Mr. Dunn was on his way to town.

That capital, says the Etoile, " consumed by the plague and a most intolerable heat, continues to present a spectacle of terror nnd anxiety. Execu- tions, banishments, and sequestrations of property increase instead of diminishing, and discontent ap- pears on every face. Many Oulemas regret the dissolution of the Janissaries uow that their turn seems approaching. They possess immense reli- gious estates, which will probably serve to fill up the deep deficit of the Turkish finances. The Sultan still exercises his new troops, but the people now shun the sight, though they remain tranquil." The nccounls given by the Journal del Debuts are still less favourable. They represent the people oo far frotn tranquil, that tliey announce a geueral Insurrection, and the committal of the greatest ex- cesses. They ever; assert liist a Russian Courier had declared at Bucharest on his way to Aekre- manu that he had quitted Pera at the revolt. The health of the Duke of York, we are happy to state, continues gradually improving. His Royal Highness was visited ou Saturday by Sir Henry Halford, Dr. Macmiehael, Mr. Macgregor, Sergeant Surgeon to the King, and Mr. Simpson, Surgeon to the Royal Duke. His Royal Highness transacted business on Saturday with Sir Henry Taylor, Sir Henry Torrents, Sir Willoughby Gordon, and Colonel Stephenson, Surveyor General of his Majesty's Board of Works.

TKK LATE Lstao Girrona.— Yesterday morn- ing, between eight aud nine o'clock, the remains of this Nobleman, in a hearse drawn by four horses, followed by only one mourning coach, arrived at the Rolls House, in Chancery lane, fiom Dover. The body was placed on trestles in the library, where, by his Lordship's particular desire, it will remain, w thout any state or pomp: even candles are not to be lighted until the morn- ing of its final removal for interment, which is fixed to take place at twelve o'clock to- morrow, in the vault of the Rolfs Chapel, adjoining the Court House. The Lord Chancellor has signified his intention of attending the funeral, which no doubt will be followed by the principal Law Officers and other Gentlemen of the profession.

In the course of this present summer, the Vener- able Bishop of Hereford has visited that city, Monmouth, Ross, Bewdley, Tenbury, Leominster, Bishop's Castle, Montgomery, and Ledbury, for the purpose of administering the solemn rite of Confirm- ation. He was at each place met by a respectable number of Clergy, who had the satisfaction of wit- nessing the most happy result of their instruction and superintendancc, in the good conduct of their parishioners. The Hon. and Rev. James Somers Cocks has been presented, through the Lord Chancellor, to the endowed Vicarage of Keen Savage, in the Diocese of Hereford, but county of Salop. It appears by an advertisement in a subsequent column that Wem Races will take place on the 25th and 26th instant, when much sport is expected. The accounts from the principal nianufaetuting dis. 11iots concur in llie opinion that hade is making gradual, but slow advances. From Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Bradford, Glasgow, Paisley, See., the advices are uniformly favourable. The silk trade of Macclesfield and Conglelou seems to participate leas! in the general advance, but still, in reference to this branch, some visible amendment has taken place. IRELAND.— It is very satisfactory to understand that the lale accounts from Ireland are of a more favourable kind than were expected. Rain has fallen abundantly in many parts of that country, and the pastures have consequently experienced considerable improvement. It appeals, however, that the poor peasantry had been obliged from the failure of their early potatoes to resort prematurely to the latter crops, and that stock is inadequate to their supply through the winter. Meetings of tbe gentry have been held to deliberate upon measures for their relief. On Saturday las! Ihe fust stone of Ihe intended new Church at Sedgley was laid by the Kiglit Hon. John William Viscount Dudley and Ward. FIRES.— Two cottages at Norley, near Bridg- north, recently took fire in the middle of the day, and were entirely consumed, together with a quantity of grain, the produce of many a day's patient leasing, and the whole of the furniture, except one bed, which was rescued IVoni the flames. The owner of one of the cottages was severely burnt in endeavouring to save the property. The fire was occasioned by a spark from the chimney of an oven falling upon the thatch.— The house belonging to an old man named Stallurd, aged 104, situate ou Aconbury hill, near Hereford, was also lately en- tirely consumed, together with the furniture, & c. The fire was occasioned by some bricks at the top of an oven falling in, and the flames communicated with the thatch ofthe house through the aperture. On the 4th iust, un Inquest was held at Burner Heath, near this town, before George Wiugfield, Gent. Coroner, un virw ( if the body of Richard Mason, who, being in a stale of intoxication, fellfdown before the wheels of a waggon laden with coals, the horses belonging to which he was driving at Ihe time; Ihe fore and hind wheels of tbe near side of ( he waggon passed over him, anil death ensued.

Shropshire Church Missionary Association. - The anniversary meeting of this Association look place in our Town Hall yesterday.— The President, WILLIAM CLUDDE, Esq. took the chair at 12 o'clock, and opened the business of the day; after which, the Rev. J. LANGLEY, the Secretary, read the following REPOHT. It affords the Committee of the Shropshire Church Missionary Association peculiar . pleasure to have to report the very favourable state of the Society's funds, the sum actually received from its various resource* being larger than iu any former year, amounting to £ 905. 3s. 3d. of which £ 850 has been remitted to the Secretary of the Society ia London. The increase in the year's receipts arises partly from the payment of some subscriptions which were in arrear, and partly from a legacy of £ 100 left to fhe Association by the late Mrs. Sarah Jones, of Newport. The appeal made in the last report to the Clerical Members of the Society, to induce them to occupy the pulpits which had been offered for collections in aid of its funds was promptiy answer- ed, and congregational collections have been made during fhe year to the amount of £ 135. 8s. 5d. exclusive of the sums obtained in a similar manner by the Branch Associations on their own accounts, and placed to their credit as general'contributions. In this department ofthe Society's operations, your Committee are particularly indebted to the Rev. Brian Hill, the Rev. Henry Gwyther, Rev. Preston Nunn, and the Rev. T. Dixon. Here your Committee are reminded of the obligations they are under also to those ofthe Clergy who have kindly granted the use of their churches to these advocates of the Society. It strikes your Committee that this method of promoting the objects of the Society is at once both the least expensive and the most efficient, whe- ther they regard the communication of knowledge or the collection of funds. And they hope that the Clergy who are friendly to the Society will endea- vour to procure pulpits in their immediate neigh- bourhoods for sermons in aid of its funds. Your Committee will be happy to receive offers of pulpits now, or at any future period. It is an affecting consideration that some of the Clerical friends, whose churches were opened to the Society's advocates during the year, are now no more. While the friends of the Society rejoice at the recollection of the grace of God that was in them, and bless God for them, they need indulge no unbecoming fear as to the ultimate success and universal triumph of the cause in which they are engaged. Under all bereavements ihe Lord liveth, and his promise to his Church cannot fail. The cause of Missions is the cause of God. Your Com- mittee sympathize with the members of the Society in particular on tiie removal of the Rev. Thomas Stedman, Vicar of St. Chad's, whose church, from the very formation of the Society, had annually been opened for a collection in aid of its funds,— and of the Rev. John Mayor, Vicar of Shawbury, one of the earliest and warmest friends of the Institution: their sympathies must not, however, be expended here— they must take a wider range— they must mingle with the sorrows of the Parent Society, of missionaries in India, and of the friends of missions and of true religion in every part ofthe world, on the loss they have sustained in the death of Bishop Heber, the Missionary Bishop, the early friend and eloqueut advocate of this Association, and one of its Vice Presidents— These losses should ronse to diii. genee and exertion, and induce survivors to labour while it is called to- day ; but far from the camp of Israel should be despondency and fear: He, who raised up these friends and instruments, can raise us up others duly qualified to fill their stations and occupy their places,— and whose providential deal- ings with his Church aud people must necessarily subserve to his own glory and his people's good. The security and honour of God's people will be found to consist in going forward, notwithstanding present bereavements aud discouragements, strong in faith, giving glory to God, and aboundingin self- denying duties and sacrifices for Christ's sake. " The love of Christ constraineth us ( saith St. Paul), because wethusjudg- e that if one died for ail, then were all dead,— and that he died for all, that they which live should henceforth live no longer unto them- selves, but unto him who loved thein and gave him- self for them." When this principle shall influence the Christian world to the extent it ought, then will the Heathen world be quickly filled with Christiss light— Ethiopia will stretch out her hands unto God— the North will give up, and the South will no longer keep back— and the kingdoms of the earth will become the kingdoms of our God and of his Christ. meeting for the death of valued friends, particularly of Bishop Heber, one ofthe Vice- Presidents of this Association. The Rev. T. THOMASOX seconded the motion, and entered int0 a most gratifying delail of the progress of education and of this Society's efforts in India, under the auspices of the late Bishops Middleton and Heber. He also produced a letter, written by Bishop Heber to the late Rev. John Mayor, detailing the gratifying state of the Mission- ary and Christian cause in Ceylon, where the Rev. Robert Mayor and Mr. Ward are stationed.— Mr. Thomason paid an eloquent tribute to tha episcopal zeal, pastoral care, and christian humility of the late Bishop Heber; and said, there was now a general feelh, ™ - in India that the two ancient Societies— those for Promoting Christian Knowledge and for Propagating the Gospel iu Foreign Parts- were united in a common cause with the Church Missionary Society, which had subscribed £ 5000 towards the erection of the Bishop's College at Calcutta, and appropriated £ 1000 annually towards the support of that establishment. The Rev. C. A. A. LLOYD, on propositigthe motion which solicited the prayers of the friends of the Society in aid of its efforts, forcibly argued upon the necessity for increased exertions in this county, where the Society's funds were supplied iu a much larger proportion by the humbler than the opulent classes. The motion was seconded by the Rev. WILLIAM YATE, who, at fhe anniversary of this Association two years ago, had offered himself as a Candidate for the situation of Missionary under the Society's directions, and who is about to proceed to New Zea- land. The Rev. R. N. PBMBERTON moved the thanks of the meeting to the Rev. T. Thomason and the Rev. T. Norton, who had attended that day as the Deputation from the Parent Society. The motion was seconded by the Rev. J. LANG- LEY, who warmiy vindicated the right of the Society to be considered as a Church of England Society, Ifs supporters were, he said, enrolled among the supporters also of the more ancient Societies con- nected with the Establishment; and it was,- he thought, the principal instrument in upholding and disseminating the doctrines of the Established Church in Foreign Lands. The Rev. T. NORTON returned thanks; and in doing so stated, that all the operations of the Society abroad were conducted in the spirit, and iu con- formity with the rubric of the Church of England, which, from its Articles, its Homilies, and its Liturgy, he hesitated not to say was entitled to the eminent distinction of being considered a Mis- sionary Church.— The Rev. Speaker, who is about fo return to his station in India, having concluded an interesting aud animated address, the assembly separated. The collections at St. Chad's Church on Sunday morning fast, and after the meeting, in aid ofthe funds of the Association, amounted to upwards of £ 43.— The sum of £ 18. 4s. 2< l. was collected at the parish church of Meole on Sunday afternoon; and £ 9.13s. was collected at Pulverbatch church.

BRIAN HILL, in moving that the Report should be adopted and printed, very forcibly and impressively pointed out the " Love of God," as the main- spring and support of missionary exertions ; aud as that feeling which, if cultivated, would tend more to the promotion ofthe objects of the Society than any other.— Tbe motion was seconded by the Rev. G. N. K. LLOYD, who, while he congratulated Hie meeting on the increase of tha Society's funds and of its supporters, trusted both would be pro- gressively increased in this great County. The motion of thanks to the Patron, President, and other Officers of the Society, was proposed by the Rev. TIIOKAS THOMASOK, Senior Chaplain of the East India Company at Calcutta, who stated that he had the honour of being with the Bishop of this Diocese at Eecleshall, on Saturday last, when his Lordship expressed liis regret that he could not attend this meeting in person; and Mr. Thomason observed that it must be delightful to all friends of Bible and Missionary exertions to know, that those exertions had the warm and zealous support of his Lordship aud other individuals of rank iu the Established Church. R. A. SLANEY, Esq. M. P. seconded the motion, and regretted that lie was the only layman that had to take a part in the business ofthe day. However inadequate he was to perform the task he had under- taken, he felt it as a proud distinction that he was thus enabled to render his best, though feeble, sup- port to so good a cause. He regretted that he did not see other lay gentlemen there, because he thought the business of such meetings ought not to be confined to Clergymen only. In whatever situa- tion he might be placed, he, for one, would fearlessly come forward to aid the great, the glorious, the perennial cause which this Society was formed to promote. Blessed, as this country was, w ith a pure Faith and a free Constitution, how could it so well express its gratitude to Providence for those great blessings, as by disseminating the light of christian knowledge throughout a benighted world. To females in particular, Societies of this nature were recommended by the consideration, that in those countries only where Christianity flourished, did the female take her proper rank in Society, ar. d iu those countries only was she treated with respect and tenderness. He regretted that there were in some quarters prejudices against such Societies as these; but he trusted that those prejudices would cease, and that the Word of God, aud the knowledge of his will, would bs spread over all the nations now sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death. This was the operation which would lift our minds above the narrow sphere ofhuman views, and which would have ifs blessed reward when all human works and human attributes should be no more. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by paying a merited compliment to the President aud other Officers of the Society. The Rev. C. R. CAMERON moved the thanks to the Branch Associations. The Rev. THOMAS NORTOY, Missionary from Travancore, seconded the motion. He entered into along and interesting detail of the state of South India. At the town of his own station, there were 25,000 inhabitants; of whom, he said, 4,000 were Roman Catholics, who were as ignorant of Christ and his salvation as the poor heathens were; 8,000 were Mahometans; and the remainder were Hindoo idolaters. The Rev. Gent, detailed the state of gros3 idolatry in which these unhappy persons were plunged, and the degraded and uufortunatesituation of the female population.— On the other hand, he shewed how the prejudices of the Natives against the Christian Religion were dissipating, and how great had been the progress of Missionary education and conversion of late years, not only at his own station but at those adjacent ; in one mission more than 800 families had embraced the doctrines of Christianity. The Rev. THOMAS DIXON returned thanks on behalf of the Branch Societies. The Rev. EDWARD WILLIAMS rose to move the expression ofthe gratitude ofthe assembly for the. success of the Society's efforts, and the regret ofthe MR. LLOYD, DENTIST, OF LIVERPOOL, 71/ ® OST respectfully announces to the i? R Ladies and Gentlemen of SHREWSBURY and its Vicinity, that he purposes being at Mr. DCRN- PORD'S. Upholsterer, & C.

In Bridgnorth Market, on Saturday last, Wheat for grinding sold from 9s, to 9s. 4d. per bushel of 72! bs.; a few samples of very fine for seed fetched 6d. a bushel more. A sample of Barley was shewn in the market by a gentleman who offered to sell any quantity, at 7 shillings per bushel of 38 quarts, from one quarter to 200, delivered at Bridgnorth, of last year's growth, and would be warranted to malt well. Oats sold at from 16s. to 17s. 6d. per bag of 120 quarts. The market- day before, Oats of the same quality were worth 2s. 6d. per bag more. The Edinburgh Scotsman of the 6th instant says, " we observe that the Importation of Corn is pro- ceeding with great activity at. Leith. Within Ihe last three weeks about eight thousand quarters of wheat, five thousand five hundred of oats, and two thousand of barley, have been entered. The wheat is chit- fly from Dantzick, the oats ond barley from Sleswick and Holstein, but a small part of the former is from Riga. Some inconsiderable imports have also been made of pease."— Advices from Rotterdam, dated 011 Tuesday, state, that the news of the partial opening of the English ports for corn bad caused a general advance there, and no article had risen more than wheat, although that species of grain is not at present admissible.

In proof of this we are assured, that the Register of Lodgings,- provided by the Committeroffers accommodation of every extent at rates unusually low ; and that in addition, some of the principal hotels have announced iheir intention to receive families at a charge scarcely one- half which it has for years been the practice to demand. An important advantage is also offered fo visitors at Ibe ensuing meeting by Mr. Beards worth of that town, who has most liberally tendered to the Committee gratuitous accommodation, at his spacious Repository, for any number of private carriages for which standings may be required. DINNER TO E. L. CHARLTON, ESQ.— On Saturday week, a very numerous and respectable party of Mr. Charlton's friends gave a dinner to that, gentle- man, at the Crown Hotel, Ludlow, in testimony of their approbation of his public conduct. FAILURES IN THE SILK TRADE.— A dividend of 9jd. in the pound is in the course of payment, on the estate of Jonas Braddock, silk manufacturer, late of Macclesfield. The debts proved under the commission amount to £ 48,365. 7s. 0| d! A divi- dend of 3d. in the pound ha* been paid on the estate of James Rowbottom and son, of the same town, also in the silk trade ; the debts proved under the latter commission amount to £ 28,000! Mr. M'Adam, in a letter from Manchester, says, that the distressing statements sent forth to the publ; c are not the least exaggerated ; the poor are literally without food or raiment. Mr. M'Adam has been sent to lhat district by Government, to find employ- ment for the industrious, in levelling hilis? making roads, & c. Not one of tbe least blessings of Macadamisation to the public, is the ease of driving, aud the great saving of wear and tear to the vehicle, as well as the preservation of horses' feet.. But this last bene- fit to the horses, we are gravely told is not the fact. " Mr. Leigh, a veterinary surgeon of Bristol in his evidence on the trial of a horse cause, gave it as his opinion, that Macadamised roads had rendered horses more unsound in their feet than they used to be." We presume that this gentleman accommo- dates horses with shoes, and as Macadamised roads are good friends to shoes, the horses are shyer in their visits to the farrier. Really it would be worth while paying some men for the true cause of their objections to certain points, merely to clench the truth of the observation, " that it is a secret worth knowing-, if you could but come at it." We would readily pay for the wear and tear of Mr. Leigh's shoes from Bristol ( a pretty walk too), if he would favour us with the conclusive reason for his saying that smooth roads hurt horses* feet more than rough ones, over which horses stumble every twenty yards they go. But he may be a rough rider, end there is much skill displayed by such jockeys. We think Mr. Leigh's position as untenable as any of his old shoes, and no man who has his eyes about him but must see that the Bristol Navigator has travelled on the wrong road for his information. Daily experi- ence proves how much the smooth easy roads of Mr. M'Adam are working their way into public favour, and we trust soon into general public prac- tice.— Sun. SPADING TO COVENTRY— The phrase of " Send- ing t> » Coventry," originated, according to Halton, the Birmingham historian, in the Birmingham people apprehending all messengers aud suspected persons, and frequently attacking and reducing small parties of the Royalists during the civil war, whom they sent prisoners to Coventry. Birmingham is noted by Lord Clarendon, under the name of Bromicham ( unde Brunimigcm), as a singularly disaffected and puri- tanical village. WARWICK RACES. TUESDAY, SEPT. 5.

REAL BENEVOLENCE.— St is a fact worthy of record, that within the last few weeks some benevolent individual, who loves charity for its own sake, has secretly transmitted to Messrs Cunhfie, Brookes, ami Co. haukersof Manchester,: no less than £ 500, i » bank notes for the relief of the suffering poor of Manchester* The first remittance was £ 150, the second £ 150, and the last, which was ou Wednesday, £ 200! So careful has this benign individual been to conceal the hand which dealt out such noble charity, that Ihe letter*? which enclosed the money were put into different post- offices, and an attempt was evidently made l<> disguise the hand- writing, so as to make the donations appear lo come from different, persons. On Tuesday last, the Stratford and Moreton Railway was Opened to the public/ The committee, accompanied by a number of gentlemen, in five covered carriages, preceded by a blind of music, and followed by twenty- one carriages, laden wilh coals, timber, lime and. merchandize, set out from the wharf at Stratford at ten o'clock in the morning. The party afterwards sat down to an elegant dinner at the Unicorn Inn, Lord Redesdale in the chair. The rsil- road promises to be of the greatest ad. vantage to the whole ofthe country through which it passes, and particularly to Moreton and its neigh- bourhood. Some of the carriages returned the same day, laden with grain. The distance from Stratford to Moreton is 16 miles, making a journey of 32 miles, which was easily performed by the same horses. The ease aud expedition with which passengers- can be conveyed upon this rail- road, has induced some spirited individuals to propose establishing a daily coach. No less than twenty- six informations, laid by n common informer, named Biers, from London, assisted by his jackall, or purveyor, Wm. Stringer, against various coach proprietors and coachmen of Cheltenham, Oxford^& c. came on for decision before the Magistrates of the former place, on Tuesday, when two convictions took place in penalties of £ 10 each, and three in penalties of £ 5 each, for carrying- more passengers than allowed by law ; and^ ine in the penalty of £ 5 for the omission of the number,' & c. on the pannels of the coach ; the remainder were quashed. LARGE CROP OF APPLES.— In an apple- orchard' belonging to James Ellice, Esq. near the Bull Itni, East FarleigU, Kent, there arc - 16 trees standing near the road, the produce of which is laid at 1600 bushels. They are cider apples. The orchard is six acres in extent, and 400 poles were found insufficient to prop up the branches. A LADY SHOT.— On Monday, a moat distressing1 accident occurred at the country seat of Mr. John Lang-, writer, which is situated at Kirkintulloch. Mr. Lang's grandson, a little boy* had unfortunately laid h s hands on a loaded piatol, which Mr. Lang- thought he had deposited ina place © fsafety; and, with it in his possession, he came to the lobby, where his cousin was standing ( the lady of Mr. Wright, an advocate, on a visit to h i- grandfather, from Edinburgh), who desired him to lay it down; on which he said, " Oh 1 there is no danger, there is nothing in il;" and, holding* it in the direction of Mrs. Wright, pulled the trigger, when, most melan- choly to relate, the ball which the pistol contained went through Iter head, and she almost instantly expired.

EXTRAORDINARY AND FATAL ACCIDENT — An inquest was held on Tuesday, at Abberley, Wor- cestershire, on the body of William Morris, aged eight, who, on Saturday afternoon, was gathering nuts with a cherry picking hook, and was holding down the branch of a nut tree, wilh his foot upon ( he lower hook, when the bough sprung up, the hook caught his right eye, and penetrated nearly to the brain ; he died in great agony the following afternoon. CRANRORNE CHASE.— The annual buck- hunt at Tollard Royal, iu the Chase, took place on Monday morning se'nnight, and was very numerously attended by sportsmen of almost every description. This is the only public buck- hunt now recognised in the chase. At six o'clock iu the morning, groupes of sportsmen, on horseback aud on foot, were seen drawing toward* the large tree under which the court leet for the manor of Tollard Royal is, by immemorial custom, held. After ihe jury had beeu sworn and charged by Robert Harvey, Esq. the steward of Lord Rivers, a signal was made for the hunt to " commence, which was done amidst the acclamations of the assembled multitude. A buck was soon started, and, after a run of nearly an hour, was killed in fine style. The sportsmen then flocked to Tollard- green, and under the trees, and in the keeper's house, partook of a public breakfast, at which venison pasty and beef- steaks were most abun- dant. The morning was remarkably fine, and the view from the green, over the vast expanse of forest, and the immense woods which cover many hundred acres, gave to the whole scene an air of wildness and lofty grandeur better felt than described. This chase is said to extend over half a million of acres, aud the present stock of deer is at. least from ten to twelve thousand. After breakfast the hunt recommenced, and was kept up with great spirit for another hour, when the second buck was killed. At three o'clock a numerous party repaired to the farm- house at Tollard, which was formerly the palace of King John, and enjoyed the treat of ihe noble owner of tbe chase, consisting of an abundance of venison and wine in the utmost profusion. After the usual toasts at public dinners, l< The long life and health of the noble sportsman, Lord Rivers;" of Mr. Farquharson and his hunt ; ofthe tenantry of the chase, Mr. Portman, Mr. Horace Beekford, the Steward, and manv other gentlemen were drank, and about 10 o'clock the party separated, under a promise to meet again on every opportunity. Several gentlemen from a distance re- tired lo Lord Rivers's house, at Rushmoor, where they passed the night. The peasantry in great num- bers, from all parts of the chase, enjoyed themselves in dancing and other rural amusements iipon Tollard- green until a late hour. The quantity of nuts in the chase woods may be imagined io be very gieat in this most abundant year ; a gentleman at the dinner, who lives in th- chase, said, that he and another person had, one year, collected from the nutters, and sold, 1,000 sacks. This immense right of chase, the greatest ever possessed even by any monarch of this country, ex- tending over no less than 500,000 acres of land, is the sole property of George Lord Rivers, who has repeat- edly refised offers of purchase made by other noble- men, but has recently proposed to the landowners to disfranchise it, on iheir binding themsel ves. to a pay- ment to him and bin heirs of £ 1,800 per anjimn. The gentlemen at the Hunt, how ever, expressed themsel rea as rather desirous that the stock of deer should bo reduced to about 5,000, than that this ancient and | splendid right sUo ild be % r n up eutireJj, * SAIX> PIAN JFOUKNALL.

[ From Blackwood's Magazine for September.] Admitting the fact, which I think the inquiries of Mr. Hoi- ton's Committee have established, viz. that redundant population is practically- found to repress industry, I do not see how it call be shown tbat thinning the labouring class would be a public benefit; I think, on the contrary, that tlie views of the Committee in this respect have been somewhat fallacious. It seems to be assumed, that the remedy to redundant population is the removal of paupers— of mere labourers, and that this is so true and indisputable, that Parliament should provide the means of carrying it into effect at the public expense. But a very brief consideration of one or two truisms will show that there has been at least some mistake in taking that for granted which is obviously very questionable. By redacing the number of labourers in the market, yon increase the price of labour. Now is. it not a fact, which 110 one is disposed to question, that the price of labour in this country, even with all its mechanical aids, is already so high that we are daily incurring the risk, in consequence, of not being able to compete in the produce of our industry with the manufacturers of other countries? Can it then be a sound principle to proceed upon, in discussing the practicable means of leading emi- gration, to assume, tbat the class who should be encouraged to emigrate, is that from which our labourers are derived?— I think uot— and this leads me back to the consideration of what 1 have already stated with respect to the evil arising from the excessive use of machinery. I admit all that the Committee has stated with respect to the evil, of redundant population, but. I deny,— and here it is DEATH OF LOHD GIFFORD. We have to announce, on ihe authority of private intelligence from Dover, the death of Lord Gifford, Master of tlie Rolls. His Lordship had suffered severely from internal inflammation, tor two dajs he fore his death, which to, ok placjc a* house on the Marine Parade, Dover, about s| on Monday morning. His Lordship was a native of Exeter. Bis father was a respectable tradesman, carrying on the grocery business iu that city, and died, leaving a large family behind him. The subject of the present memoir, be- ing then very young, the brother uf Lord Gifford carried on the business after the death of his father, and thus was enabled to protect and educate his brothers and sisters. The education of Lord Gifford was begun at the Grammar School of Exeter, under the learned but unfortunate Dr Halloran, and from his earliest youth the law seems to have engaged the chief attention of his mind ; so much so, indeed, that, even whilst yet a schoolboy, it was his habit, when the judges, in the course of their circuit, came to Exeter, to take his seat in the Court, aud remain there till the close of the day's business, and so during the con- tinuance of the assizes. Having finished his education, he entered on his legal career by being articled to au attorney of his native city, and,- whilst in this com- paratively adverse station, used to complain of the neglect he experienced from his kinsman and relation, the late vSir Vicary Gibbsv In the year 1800, he came to Loudon, atid was at that time admitted a Member of the Middle Temple, and studied in the office of Mr. Sykes, the present solicitor of the Stamp- office, who was then practising as a Special Pleader. At this time his age was 24. On the 12th of February, 1808, he was called to the bar. From this time Sir Vicary Gibbs began to notice him ; and it was to the patronage and steady affection of this great lawyer, that Lord Gifford owed his first elevation in the legal world ;• and his own abilities afterwards enabled him to advance his fortunes so far, that he became successively Solicitor and Attorney- General, a Peer of the Realm, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and, finally, Master of fhe Rolls, iu which elevated station he has just closed his mortal career. On the 8th of May, 1817, he was appointed Solicitor- General, aud in that capacity, on the 16th May following, he was elected Master of the Bench, of the Society of which he was a member. In consequence of his appointment to the office of Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, he was made a Sergeant on the 16th of June, 1824, and from thence was almost immediately advanced to be Master ofthe Rolls, in consequence of the death of the late Sir Thomas Plumer, whom he succeeded, so that Lord Gifford has not held his office much above two- years. Four arid- twenty years have served to raise this gentleman to the highest honours of his pro- fession; and his career, though short, seems to have been oue of unexampled splendour. Lord Gifiord was only 47 years old when he died, and it seldom falls to the lot of any man to go through the important offices tliat he has done in the short period of 24 years. On the 28th of January, 1826 ( while Lord Chief Justice), he was, by Letters Patent under the Great Seal, ennobled, " by the name, stile^ aud title, of Baron Gifford, of Saint Leonard, in the county of Devon," the Patent being in favour of himself, u and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten." At the commencement of the Session of Parliament 1824, his Lordship was appointed Lord Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords, iu which character his Lordship, during the three last Sessions, devoted himself mo*; assiduously to the hearing of Appeals and Writs of Error, ou those days in which the Lord Chancellor was engaged in the duties of Hie Court of Chancery. This was the result of an arrangement made by the House, in the course of the preceding Session, for accelerating the disposal ofa great a J- rear of Causes, then in dependence. From a report made by the Lords" Committee, ou 17th June, 1823, it ap- peared that there were then 151 " Scotch Appeals, out of the total number of 225 Appeals, remaining un- heard ;" and, by an arrangement afterwards made, most of the Scotch Causes were directed to be heard by Lord Gifford, for which Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, were appropriated, the Lord Chancellor presiding on the two other Cause days ( viz. Mondays and Thursdays), for English and Irish Appeals, and Writs of Error, as well as occasionally for Peerages and Divorce Bills, & c. the House thus sitting five days from ten o'clock till four ( or thiity hours), in each week, for judicial business. Lord Gifford was not less strenuous in his exertions to get through the great number of Causes before the Privy Council, it being considered as one of the duties of the Master of the Rolls to preside at the hearing of such Appeals;, and no one that ever before filled that situation was more regular in attendance at the Cockpit. ( FURTHER PARTICULAUS.) His Lordship left town on Tuesday fortnight, and was at that time labouring under a bilious attack, to which it is understood he was constitutionally liable. In other respects his health was very good, and no serious apprehensions wereexcited, till Saturday week, when symptoms of cholera inorbus began to show themselves. On Sunday he became much worse, and, notwithstanding the unremitting exertions of his medical attendant, Mr.. Saukey, he died at a little that 1 am at issue with Mr. Horton,— I deny^ that after six o'clock on Monday morning. the evil which weighs upon the energies of this country arises from any excess in the number of the labouring class— but from a cause to which the Committee has not once adverted— and I will here state it somewhat conspicuously. The evil which this country is suffering from her overtrading, is owing to too much of fhe intelligence and capital of ihe community being directed to trade and manu- factures. The corrective, I agree with Mr. Horton, is emigration. Much of fhe intelligence, and much of the wealth, at present exclusively directed to improvements in manufactures, would be much more advantageously employed, both for the pos- sessors and for the kingdom, could it be directed to purposes of colonization. In these times, a young lharij with probably a thousand pounds or two of capital, well educated and enterprising, devotes himself to some branch of commerce, and shares in the precarious fortunes inherent to trade of all kinds. He adds to tbe number of those who are already producing- more than can be consumed ; his intelligence incites him to adopt those inventions which will enable his small capital to be brought in its operations into an advantageous competition with greater establishments than liis own, and,, stimulated by the occasional spurts of trade, he increases his machines, till he has either suffered in the revulsion, or has mastered his ambition, and retired from business with the fruit of some fortu- nate adventure. For there is no longer in the commerce and manufactures of this country any thing like that old regular dealing, by which the foundations of her greatness were established. Every thing connected with business is now liable to starts and vicissitudes— ingenuity and intelligence I is constantly on the stretch, and the discoveries of the one, and the- correspondence of the other, often change in a season the health of the entire com- merce, not only of England, but of Europe. • Now the inference I would draw from these palpable facts is, that the encouragement which should be given to emigration, which ! agree with Mr. Horton should be essentially voluntary— ought not to be extended directly to mere labourers, but to those persons who, possessed of some capital and intelligence, would employ their money and their activity in establishing plantations in the colonial lands." By thinning the number of this class of persons, from whom the manufacturing and com- mercial classes are principally, if not altogether recruited, you would diminish the number of those, who foster mechanical ingenuity to excess, you would also reduce the number of those who by their mercantile adventures— often blind ones— to new and foreign countries, are the mainsprings of that overtrading, the evil of which is more obvious than that ofa redundant population; and you would create a new class, who, instead of training multi- tudes to the loom and mill, would draw from the mother country, as plantation servants, thousands of those who are at present subjected to the vale- tudinarian fortunes of artizans The deceased Master of the Rolls was a singular instance of a man without family connexions, art, ambition, or showy talents, arriving at the highest honours of his profession, aud at the peerage,, in a very few years. Lord Gifford's progress, however, though remarkable, was not miraculous. His under- standing was clear and sound— his assiduity was very great— his temper immoveable— and his integrity spotless; in addition to this, there was a mild frank ness in his maimer, which left a most amiable impres- sion of his heart upon every one who conversed with him— an impression which was fully justified by that unerring test of character, his conduct in his family, and in private life, which was not merely irreproacha- ble, but exemplary. If no great single quality is to be found in this enumeration of the deceased peer's virtues, it is certain that no good quality was wanting; and the whole may well entitle him to the character of a great man, which he undoubtedly deserved better than many who bear it, aud thousands who have borne it. IRELAND. Public Dinner at Cavan to Lord Geo. Beresford, [ FROM TUB EVENING MAlf,.] INSOLVENT DEBTORS— Courts for the Relief of 1 solvent Debtors will be held at Lichfield, Nov. 25, Shrewsbury Monday, Nov. 27 ; Worcester, Oct. 19 : Hereford, Oct. 21 ; Chester, Nov. 27. The L< an of Two Millions Slock— realizing £ 1,150,000— raised in this country in behalf of the Gr « ek cause, has been so well managed, that about £ 13,000 remains in hand, the rest having beeiv ex- pended without effecting the least service in aid'of tbe people for whose assistance it was intended! On Wednesday last the High Sheriff and Gentlemen of the county of Cavan entertained the Right Hon. Lord George Beresford at a public dinner. Amongst the distinguished persons present, we observed the Bishop of Kilmore, Lord Famham, Messrs. Maxwell and Snunderson, the constitutional members of the county, Col. Clements, Major Bur'rowes, of Stiadone, & c. As soon as the cloth was removed, the following toasts were drunk : — The King— three times three. The Duke of York, and belter health to him — nine times nine —( cheers.) Lord George Beresford, and the Independent Free- holders and Friends who supported him at the late election for the county of Waierford — four times four— ( great cheering.) Lord George Beresford rose and said—" Gentlemen — Fur the high honour you have done me on this occa- sion, 1 beg leave to return you my heartfelt thanks. To the principles of constitutional loyalty which I hold in common with yourselves, I feel that I am indebted for this honour; and believe me that the approbation of such a county as yours, expressed iu the manner in which you have received my health, is a reward dearest to my heart, next to the approval of my own conscience. Gentlemen, at the last election we were alt embarked in a common cause. I heartily congratulate you upon the independence of your county. You have the Represent- atives of your ow n choice ; but you struggled nobly for them, and nobly have you succeeded. The same means hy which the independence of Waterford was overthrown have been resorted io here ; but your energy and pub- lic spirit overcame the difficulties. It was no common struggle iu which we were engaged. It was the contest between the Landed Proprietary and the Priests of the Church of Rome. Iu my own instance, had the real interests of the county been suffered to prevail, there cannot be a doubt but 1 should have heen returned by nearly a triple majority over my opponent. ( Cheers.) But the Catholic Association, which now presumes to regulate the affairs of Ireland, stepped in, and using fhe spiritual influence of the Roman Catholic Clergy, have, for the present at least, defeated the landed interest in my person. No art, however unconstitutional, no prac- tice, however illegal, that was not resorted to, to carry fhe ambitious projects of the Association. The free- holders were torn from their landlords' sides by priestly authority, by the refusal of church rites, by actual excommunication. From50 to60 priests daily attended ihe poll booths. The very crucifix was used as the implement of ambition— and the deluded tenants were informed that tiic contest lay betwixt that and uie. Nor has the persecution yet ceased. Those who ven- tured to vote for me are still suffering under the wrath and exasperation of their priests. Srtch ^ were the diffi- culties I had to encounter— such were fhe dangers to which yourselves were exposed. But, Gentlemen,- such a state of things cannot long subsist. The legisla- lature, which admits of no military constraint at the hustings, will not permit a spiritual control)!. There is > et an appeal to the fountain head of constitutional authority aud principle ; and from this we may all expect redress and a restoration of our violated rights. ( Loud cheers ) Meanwhile there is need of union among Protestants ; onr assailants are banded and knit together; let us follow their example— and be assured that. the united exertions of the Protestants of Ireland will yet restore our independence, and secure it to ns and our posterity. Once more I thank you for the distinction you have Ihis day conferred upon me, and beg leave to propose a toast— The High Sheriff, and Prosperity to the county of Cavan. The Hig- h Sheriff returned thanks. The Bishop of Kilmore, and the other gentlemen who have honoured us with their company this evening— three times three. The Bishop of Kilmore returned thanks, and said- Gentlemen, the connexion which has long subsisted between ns has been this day endeared and cemented by the public honours which you have conferred on the principles of my noble kinsman. ( Cheers.) What these are, I need not explain. You feel them, and your conduct has been a full exemplification of them. Had not these principles been dearer to Lord George Beresford than any object of ambition, he might still have enjoyed the seat of which he has been so unwor- thily deprived. But, Sir, he has taken the nobler course— he has preserved his principles, and sacrificed his just ambition to his honour. ( Loud cheering.) His cause is yours; hut you have escaped a similar con- summation; and - long IB- KV-- your county remain free and independent, as it* iS> \ cannot but hope for great public benefit from the coiiduct and issue of the late Elections. The eyes of England will at length be opened to our situation in Ireland; and the Government and people of that happy country will learn, from the exposure of facts occurring there, who the persons are that are the best able and most willing to preserve the peace of the country, the purity of the Constitution, and the union of ihe empire. The glorious, pious, and immortal memory of the great and good King William — nine times nine. ( Great cheering.) The Lord Primate, and the Church Establishment of Ireland— three times three. The Bishop of Kilmore returned thanks. The Protestant Ascendancy iu Church and State, as now by law established— four times four. Lord Farnham, the Governor of our county— four times four. ( Loud cheering.) Lord Farnham arose to return thanks, and said, that proud as he was of the honour the gentlemen had done him, he felt peculiarly gratified on this occasion, which had introduced to the acquaintance of the county of Cavan another member of the House of Beresford. With the virtues and the principles of his Right Rev. Friend, they were ail long and intimately acquainted. They had lately had the happiness of meeting at that table with his Grace the Lord Primate, and had ia- teiy heard him,/ in the discharge of his sacred office, deliver a charge which,, from its unaffected piety and good sense— its" pure principles, its genuine philanthropy, its soundness, temperance, and discretion, was every way worthy of the exalted character of his Grace, both ns a man and a Christian. They had now the gratifica- tion of meeting another of that family,- whom, though he should have been heartily happy to have congratu- lated ou the success of his election, he would' not now address in the tone of condolence. His lordship-, he said, had nothing to regret — had nothing- to fear from the result' of an appeal to the Legislature. ( Cheers.) The unconstitutional practices by which he suffered a temporary deprivation of that honour to which he was so justly entitled would never stand before a committee of " the House. Were he ( Lord Farnham) on such a committee, and the facts alleged substantiated by evidence, he had no hesitation iu saying, that in his opinion the return of the Sheriff was as invalid as the means bv which it was obtained were unconstitutional and unworthy, lie had no doubt of that return bping reversed, and exhorted his noble friend to persevere in his petition. The same had been attempted in tbe county of Cavan. lie congratulated the county upon its triumph over the enemies of its independence. Still they were not to relax in their exertions ; the same attempt would he made again, and it was the part ofuise men in the midst of peace lo provide against the contingencies- of war. llis Lordship recommended union amongst the landed interests, and a simultaneous exertion through all tlie counties of Ireland in the next Session of Parliament; that petitions should be for- warded detailing the events of the late elections, and the inroads that had heen made on Ihe exercise of the elective franchise by a body of men unrecog-. tizcd b.., and unconnected with, the State. His Lordship sat down amidst the loudest applause. The Representatives of the County of Cavan, and may they long continue to represent it on the same principles— four times four. Mr. 11. Maxwell returned thanks in the following words: — Mr. High Sheriff and Gentlemen,— I rise to thank you for the very flattering manner in which you have drank my health. . We are this evening honoured with the presence of Lord George Beresford, and I am confident that I speak tbe sentiments of every gentleman who is here, when 1 assure his Lordship that lie is most heartily welcome among us. I rejoice ibat the gentle- men of the county of Cavan are allowed this opportunity of testifying to him in person the high sense which they entertain of his public principles. ( Loud cheers.) Embarked in the same cause with ourselves— animated with the same attachment to our invaluable Protestant Constitution, which has ever distinguished the gentle, men of this county, 1 am sure it must be highly gratify- ing to his lordship's feelings to receive from them ihe tribute of Iheir approbation. We are all acquainted with the circumstances connected w ith the late election for the county of Waterford— with our noble guest's manly and constitutional conduct; and wilh Ihe illegal and unconstitutional means which were resorted to in order to effect tbe return of his opponent. We know, too, that democratic violence aud popish bigotry there prevailed over the principles of the constitution. Put, though precluded for the present from the possession of that honourable situation to which his own long- tried services and the merits of his father so justly entitled him, we offer not to I lordship Ihe language of condo- lence— his lordship lias experienced no defeat; and his adversary has gained no victory ; for he has made him- self the slave of the Roman Catholic priesthood and demagogues-, w bile bis lordship has pursued, with an even " and undevialing course, in the full spirit of freedom and independence, the genuine principles of the British constitution. ( Cheers ) During ihe late contests in Ireland, we have witnessed transactions hitherto unexampled in tbe history of elections. W. have ourselves ( as I have had occasion in public lo remark) seen tbe influence of a power unrecognised by the Legislature, exerted to cuutioul ibe freedom of election". We have Popish priests marching through our town nt the head of immense mobs, encouraging them by example and by precept to every species i- f disorder— we haie heard tliein threatening wilh loss of property nnd with personal injury, and above all, w ilh eternal damnation, such Roman Catholics as should vote contrary to their directions. We have seen them bringing up to the polling booths tile tallies of our opponents— dragging away by force men who were anxious to vote according to their own and their land- lords' wishes, and urging them by every species of terror to pursue a course at variance with their inclinations. Nor were these empty and unmeaning threats, The anathemas which were pronounced in our public streets, have been re- echoed from the chapels. Scarcely a Sunday has elapsed that some poor pro- scribed Roman Catholic is not marked out by his Priest from the altar, as an object of vengeance. i have myself seen many poor Unman Catholics who have heen waylaid and severely beaten, whose crops have been injured, and their property destroyed, merely for having voted for thuse candidates against whom the influence of the Priests was directed. If I am asked, whether I hold the Priests responsible for these acts of enormity— 1 re ply, THAT I DO— for they have the power of preventing such outrages. One word from them would he fully sufficient to check the evil. But the denunciations which the Priests pronounce from the altar against unfortunate individuals are a sufficient warrant to the lawless and abandoned to wreak their vengeance upon the unhappy sufferers. And yet these are the men whom our liberal Attorney- General would extol as the tranquillizers of Ireland. These are the men whom some of our liberal senators wculd represent as the holy ministers of a religion which has been most unjustly calumniated— as those who are in the habitual practice of applying the immense authority which their church has vested in them to the promotion of loyalty, good- will, and peace, in this divided country. — Mr." Maxwell sat down amidst loud cheering. Mr. Saunderson also returned thanks. The Marquis of Waterford'and the Noble House of Curraghmore— four times four. Lord George Beresford returned thanks. The Landlords of the County of Cavan who stood forward at the late Election, and defeated the influence ofthe Popish Priests— four times four—( Cheers). The Right Hon. Robert Peel, the staunch and steady friend to Ireland— three times three. The Right Hon. William Saurin— three times three. ( Loud cheering.) George Robert Dawson, a Freeholder of this County — four times four. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and long may he live to fill that situation— three times three. ( Cheers.) Several other toasts were drank, and the party sepa- rated at a late hour* WESTMEATII POLITICS.— Among the many ill effects flowing from the unconstitutional interference of the Roman Catholic Priesthood at the late election, is that of having extinguished the kind, indulgent feeling, and suitable gratitude, lhat hitherto subsisted between landlord and tenant in this Country, of which the following instance comes through our usual channels of information :— On Monday, July 24, an auction took place in the town of Kilbegg- au, in this county, of cattle seized as distress for rent due to Haynes W. Batters by, of Bal- lard, Esq. Previous to the sale, Mr. Battersby was accosted, in an apparently friendly manner, by the Rev. Mr. Cantwell,> P. P. of Kilheggan, who observed that he hoped, for Mr. Battershy's own sake, he would not proceed to sell Ihe cattle. Mr. Battersby replied, that he should be better pleased to get his rent without resorting to that unpleasant alternative ; arid notwith- standing the ingratitude he had recently experienced, if the owners wished him to put off the sale, to afford time to make up the rent, he had no objection to defer it. Mr. Cantwell said, that this seizure was made in the spirit of revenge, for fhe part those persons took- in the late election ; and which proceeding he charac- terised as a system of tyranny and oppression, over liberty of conscience— that Mr. Baftersby would regret this step all his life, and his son after him-, and that it would tend to the injury of those- who voted for Mr. Battershy's friends— but those men should not want support, as he ( Mr. Cantwell) has extensive funds at his disposal to defend oppressed tenants against their tyrannical landlords. Mr. Battersby protested against Mr. Cautwell using such language in the hearing of persons too well inclined to commit acts of outrage at' the slightest excitement, and observed that he was glad to find his tenants had got so good a banker, as they might have occasion to draw again. Mr. Cantwell replied, although his resources were ample, yet he was not at liberty to employ them until Mr. Battersby pro- ceeded to sell, in which case he would be attended by the curse of every Catholic in the country, and it would be followed tip by prosecutions under the direction of eminent counsel, naming Mr. O'Connell. Mr. Baiters- by replied, that when forced to do an act of justice to himself, he would not be diverted from his purpose by idle, impotent curses. He did not question Mr. O'Con- nell's abilities as a lawyer, but trusted he could not yet alter the law of the land. The cattle were accordingly put up to cant\ and knocked down to Mr. Cantwell, who paid th. e rent demanded, and" desired the owner to take them home. The sale took place in the market square, surrounded by a mob of about two hundred persons, who indulged in many taunting expressions; however, no actual violence occurred, and the scene closed with a " huzza'* for " Tuite and Religion for ever!" Time will show who are to be Lords of the soil— the priest or the landlord.— Wesimeath Journal. ! ttl0c* Uan* ott* £ nt* Ut&? ncr. A horrid murder was pcrpelraled in the noon- day at Tumavara, on Sunday last. John Duane, an indus. trious young man, was proceeding home, after hearing mas* at Chapel, when he was designedly way- laid by three fellows, a short way front the village, who im- mediately assailed him, and continued striking him with stones, until lie lay in the road covered with blood, and scaicely any sign of life. Tbe assassins, considering that they had done for their unfortunate victim, fled from the spot, aud, some persons coming up, removed tbe dying man into Tomavara, where he expired next evening of tbe dreadful wounds he had received. The only cause that can be assigned for the fatal oofrage is a suspicion that he had given informa- tion under the Insurrection Act. The murder was committed within fifteen yards of a boose. The body, which was terribly disfigured, exhibited a most revolting spectacle, That active Magistrate, Thomas R. Pepper, Esq, aided by the Police, lias used every exertion for the discovery of the murderers, but, as yet, without success. The wife of the deceased man had lain- iu only two days before tyisdeath.-— lAmerich Chronicle. THE KOCKMG BIBB, [ from Wilson's American Ornithology."] The plumage of the mocking- bird, though none of the homeliest, has nothing gaudy or brilliant in it, and, had he nothing else to recommend him, would scarcely entitle him to notice; but his figure is well proportioned, and even handsome. The ease, ele- gance, and rapidity of his movements, the animation of his eye, and the intelligence he displays in listen ing and in laying up lessons from almost every species ofthe feathered creation within his hearing, are really surprising, aud mark the peculiarity of his genius. To these qualities we may add that of a , oicfc full, strong, and musical, and capable of almost every modulation, from the clear mellow- tones ofa wood- thrush, to the savage scream of the bald eagle. Iu measure and accent he faithfully follows his originals. In force and sweetness of expression he greatly improves upon them. In his native groves, mounted on the top of a tall bush or half- grown tree, in the dawn of dewy morning, while the woods are already vocal with a multitude of warbles, his admirable song rises pre- eminent over every competitor. The ear can listen to his music alone, to which that of all the others seems a mere accompaniment. Neither is the strain alto- gether imitative. His own native notes, which are easily distinguishable by such as are well acquainted with those of our various song birds, are bold and full, and varied seemingly beyond all limits. They consist of short expressions of two, three, or at the most five 01- six syllables, generally interspersed with imitations, aud all of thein uttered with great emphasis and rapidity, and continued, with undi- minished ardour, for half an hour or an hour at a time. His expanded wings and tail glistening with white, and the buoyant gaiety of his action arresting the eye, as his song most irresistibly does the ear. He sweeps round with enthusiastic ecstaey,— he mounts and descends as his song swells or dies away, and, as my friend Mr. Bartram has beauti- fully expressed it, " He bounds aloft with the celerity of an arrow, as if to recover Or recall his very soul, expired in the last elevated strain." While thus exerting himself, a by- stander, destitute of sight, would suppose that the whole feathered tribes had assembled tog- ether on a trial of skill, each striving to produce his utmost effect, so perfect are his imitations. He many times deceives the sportsman, and sends him in search of birds that, perhaps, are not within miles of him, but whose notes he exactly imitates; even birds themselves are frequently imposed on by his admirable mimick. and are decoyed by the fancied calls of their mates or dive, with precipitation, into the depth thickets, at the scream of what they suppose to be the sparrow- hawk. The mocking- bird loses little of the power and energy of his song by confinement. In his domesti- cated state, when he commences his career of song, it is impossible to stand by uninterested. He whistles, for the dog; Cfesar starts up, wags his tail, atid runs to meet his master. He squeaks out like a hurt chicken, and the hen hurries about with hanging wings and bristled feathers, clucking to protect its injured brood. The barking ofthe dog, the mewing of the cat, the creaking of a passing wheelbarrow, follow with great rapidity and truth. He repeats the tune taught him by his master, though of considerable length, fully and faithfully. He runs over the quavering of the canary, and the clear whistling of the Virginia nightingale or red bird, with such superior execution and effect, that the mortified songsters feel their own inferiority, and become altogether silent, while he seems to triumph in their defeat by redoubling bis exertions. This excessive fondness for variety, however, iu the opinion of some, injures his song. His elevated imitations of the brown thrush are frequently in- terrupted by the crowing of cocks : and the warb- ling ofthe blue- bird which he exquisitely manages, are mingled with the screaming of swallows or the cackling- of hens; amidst the simple melody of the robin, we - are suddenly surprised by tbe shrill reiterations of the whippoorwill; while" the notes of kildeer, blue jay, martin, baltimore, and twenty others succeed, with such imposing reality, that we look round for the originals, and discover with astonishment, that the sole performer in this singular concert is the admirable bird now before us. During . this exhibition of his powers, he spreads his wings, expands his tail, and throws himself around the cage iu all the ecstacy of enthusiasm, seeming not only to sing, but to dance, keeping time to the measure of his own music. Both in his native and domesticated state, duriug the solemn stillness of night, as soon as the tnoou rises ill silent majesty, he begins his delightful solo, and serenades us tbe live- long night with a full display of his vocal powers, making the whole neighbourhood ring with his inimitable medley. We understand that Dutch hay in fine preservation, has lately been landed at Borrowstouness, at £ 3 15s. per Ion, or 9d. per stone, duty and all other expenses included,— Stirling Journal. The accounts ( in the Paris Papers) received from Constantinople, are revolting to humanity. Discon- tent continues, and a re- action is apprehended. The execution of two Bankers, and ibe confiscation of their property, together with other excesses ofthe Sol- tan, have had a considerable effect in prejudicing tbe public mind against him; but whether he will sur- vive the storm he lias raised it is impossible to foresee, though private accounts anticipate a frightful counter- revolution. CHURCH PATRONAGE— Although there appears to be only 9,284 parish churches in England, there are 11,593 benefices, 1,290 of which are in the patron- age of tbe diocesans, 1,005 in dean and chapters, 103 in the five collegiate churches of Manchester, Rippon, Southwell, Westminster, and Windsor; 583 iu Ihe Universities and Colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, Eton and Winchester; 1,015 in the King, Prince of Wales and Duke of Lancaster; leaving 7,5B7 in the patronage of lay impropriators. TERRIFIC THUNDER STORM.— On Ihe morning of the 30th ull. the town of Malvern and the ad. jacent country were visited by a tremendous thunder storm accompanied by heavy rain, which lasted nearly two hours, during which ihe lightning was uncom- monly vivid ; and the awful peals of thunder loud and frequent. Although we rejoice to add lhat no such melancholy catastrophe as lhat which we bad the painful duty of recording in the month of July last, occurred in the loss of human life, yet several accidents occurred ill tbe vicinity. Al Severn- Stoke, tbe storm raged wilh great violence, unprecedented within the memory of tbe oldest inhabitant ; and by oue flash of lightning, three cows, a bull, and eight sheep, were killed ou the spot, A magnificent oak io tiie Eail of Coventry's park, at Crooine, was literally shivered to atoms, and the branches scatleied abroad in every direction. A fine cedar of Lebanon which adorned the pleasure grounds, was also struck by the electric fluid : and Ihe ground in front of the mansion was completely under water. Several fire bails were observed to fall near Worcester. A Mr. Sparrow, late of Brixton, who recently com menced practice there as a surgeon, met with a pre. mature death on Thursday last, under circumstances peculiarly afflicting to his relatives and friends. It appeared about ten days ago a girl from Croydon, on her arrival in Lambeth, was taken suddenly ill, and expired iu that parish. The deceased was taken to ihe workhouse, and her friends, anxious to ascertain Ihe cause of Iter death, employed Mr. Sparrow for that purpose, who in Ihe course of the operation of opening the body, slightly punctured one of his fingers with the instrument. The wound became excessively painful, and notwithstanding the various applications and remedies lhat were tried externally and internally, Mr. Sparrow fell a victim lo lhat which, in the first instance, he treated as a slight scratch. On Thursday evening last, one of those melancholy accidents, arising from the. loo careless use of fire- arms, which we regret we have so frequently the pain, fill task of detailing, happened at Walnrier House, Ftetching, in Sussex, to Spencer Maryon Wilson, Esq. the younger brother of Sir Thomas'Wilson, Bait, of Charlton. house, in Kent, and brother In John Maryon Wilson, Esq. of Canfield, in Ihis county. The party had assembled in Ihe hall of the mansion, and were preparing for Iheir next day's diversion, when one of the guns, from some accident, of which we have not learned the particulars, went off', and the deceased received the contents in his side, uf which he Ian. gnished for three hours only, and then expired. The melancholy intelligence was made known lo the various branches of tbe family, and, amongst others, to two sisters, who were at Great Baddow, in the establishment of Mesdames Craiston and Gilson. Tbe poignant grief which so distressing an event has occasioned in Ihis highly respectable family can better be conceived than described.— Essex Herald. A proprietor of one of Ihe new canals, being in company wilh three or four others taking a survey of the cut, on horseback, was expressing himself rather angrily about the losses he had sustained bv tbe peculation, when his horse suddenly started and pitched him plump into the water. On reaching Ihe bank,, oue of his friends congratulated him on the appy change of bis affairs; " 1 told you," said he, ; the canal would fill your pockets for you one of these dans." Last week, a' melancholy circumstance occurred in Westmoreland,- iu the neighbourhood of Patter- dale, at the head of Ulleswater. About a week before, a young lady, seemingly 20 years of age, calling herself Miss Sands, came to the inn at Patter- dale in a post- cbais-',- alone, and said she would remain for some time. From the period of her arrival until the following Friday, no part of her conduct gave the slightest reason to suppose derangement of intellect; she ate her meals heartily, and employed herself chiefly in reading or walking, and was mild, obliging, and seemingly quite a lady iu her habits and deportment. On the afternoon of Friday, she told the landlady of the inn, that she was going to walk to the top of Helvellyn ( the highest mountain iu the neighbourhood), and left Patterdale apparently with that intent, about five o'clock in the afternoon. Night came, and there were no tidings of her return. Late at night, it being bright moonlight, several persons ascended the hill in search of her; they could not, however, discover any trace of her; but next morning, a man passing the hill road at Grassmere, found the bodv- of a young lady lying at the foot of that frightful preci- pice, which is almost half the height of the moun- tain. It is needless to say that the body was shockingly disfigured ; it seemed to have struck iu its descent many projecting rocks. In the reposi- tories of the deceased was found a letter from a person signing himself William Halidav, dated Falmouth, in which is the following passage:—" A few months' retirement, my dearest Mary, and all will come round and be well; you know you may depend upon me." There is no possibility of ascer- taining whether the death of this young female was the result of accident, but as there is at least no reason to believe the contrary, it is supposed the verdict of the Coroner must be " Found dead." POETRY.— It is objected to Poetry, that it gives wrong views and cxciles false expectations of life,— peoples the mind with shadows and illusions, and builds up imagination on the ruins of wisdom. That I hi • re is a wisdom against which poetry wars,—- the wisdom of the senses, which makes physical comfort and qualification Ibe supreme good, and wealth the chief interest of life,— we do not deny; nor do we deem it the least service which poclry renders to man- kind, that it redeems them from the thraldom of Ibis earth- born prudence. Bul, passing over this topic, we would observe, that tbe complaint against poetry, as abounding in illusion and deception, is in the main gionndlcss. In many poems there is more of truth than in many histories and philosophic theories. The fictions of genius are often Ihe vehicles of Ihe sublimes! verities, and iis flashes often open new regions of thought, and throw new light on the mysteries of our being, in poetry, tbe letter is falsehood, but Ihe spirit is often profoundest wisdom, ' Phe present life is not wholly prosaic, precise, tame, and finite. To the gifted eye, it abounds in ihe poetic. The affec- tions which spread beyond ourselves and stretch far into futurity ; Ihe workings of mighly passions, which seem to arm Ihe soul with an almost superhuman energy ; the innocent and irrepressible joy of infancy ; Ihe bloom, Ibe buoyancy, and dazzling hopes of youth; the throbbings of Ihe heart when it first wakes to love, and dreams ofa happiness loo vast for earth ; woman, wilh her beauty, and grace, and gentleness, and fullness of feeling, and depth of affcciion, and her blushes of purity, and the tones and looks which only a mother's heart can inspire;— these are all poetical. It is not hue that Ihe poet paints a life which does not exist; he only extracts and concentrates, as it were, life's ethereal essence, arrests and condenses its volatile fragrance, brings together its scattered beauties, and prolongs iis more refined but evanescent joys; and in Ihis he does well; for it is good to feel lhat life is not wholly usurped by cares for subsistence and physical gratifications, but admits, in measures which may be indefinitely enlarged, sentiments aud delights worthy of a higher being. The power of poetry to refine our views of life and happiness is more and more needed as society advances. It is needed lo withstand the encroachments of heartless and artificial manners, which make civilization so tame and un- interesting. It is needed lo counteract Ihe tendency of physical science, which being now sought, not as formerly for intellectual gratification, but for mulii- plying bodily comforts, requires a new developemenl of imagination, taste, and poetry, lo preserve men from sinking into unearthly, material, Epicurean life. —[ From a brief but able tract, just re- published in England, entitled, " Remarks on ihe Character and Writings of John Milton ; by the Rev.

B. Whitehead, in speaking on the importance of a system of unity and' Co- operation among parishes in carrying on the work uf instruction, concluded nearly as follows :—" I ann| not one of that class of persons, my Lord, who are fonif of prating, iu the fashionable cant of the day, about tbe mighty march of mind now, as they imagine,* upon the move around us— which march is most piated about by those who have themselves least mind to cultivate, and least conception of the true' moral and social objects of such cultivation. But though I hold in some contempt this too common presumptuous assumption of modern philosophy, I am sure lhat no man of any observation can shut his eyes to tbat providential impulse which, of late years, has been given to the moral and religious improvement of Ihe people, nor to the responsibilities and duties which il has imposed upon all whose stations place them more peculiarly within their reach. Neither, my Lord, am I one of those fond visionaries who expect lo see some suddenly and miraculously beneficial results proceeding from the wide operation of that impulse, however valuable. But of ihis I am quite sure, tbat the calm and steady progress of a pure and rational system of popular instruction is tbe only instrument, under Providence, by which a Christian community can ever be regenerated or advanced in its course." THE HEART.— Mr. Larry lately presented lo tlie Academy of Medicine in Paris, the heart of a man who, in a fit of derangement, stabbed himself wilh a watchmaker's file. After having penetrated several inches, the instrument broke off level with the skin. The unhappy being was conveyed to an hospital, where it was determined thai no operation could be attempted. He survived for 21 days, in but htlle pain, and without feeling any difficulty in changing Iiis position. On opening the body, it was seen wilh surprise that Ihe file had not only pierced tile pericar- dium, and oue of the coats of the heart, but that, entering tbat organ at three inches from the point,- it had passed obliquely, from the left to tbe right, ami front the lower lo the higher part, crossing the left cavity, the middle membrane, and the right cavity. FATAC. ACCIDENT.— As W. Jones, Esq. of Kens, higton Gore, on a visit at Newport, in Isle of Wight, was taking an airing with his daughter and her hus- band, the coachman by mistake went up a daugerous- and extremely steep ascent, called Saint Lawrence's Shoot, when, finding his mistake, and unable lo turn his horses, they were removed from the carriage, and the servants endeavoured lo back Ihe vehicle, Mr, Jones then being the only person iu it. lis weight, however, was too ponderous, and the servants were overpowered— when the carriage, left to itself, soon overset, and was nearly dashed lo pieces dow'n the precipice. Mr. Jones was killed upon the spot. Verdict, Accidental Death. He was iu his 91st year. We lament to have to record the loss of that highly esteemed and valuable officer, General Sir Harry Calvert, Bart. He died on Sunday night, al Drayton, in Buckinghamshire, where be had recently gone ou a visit, after a very short illness. He was Lieutenant Governor of Chelsea Hospital, and Colonel of the 14th regiment of foot. AFRICA.— It is most satisfactory to learn, though there are no recent accounts from Capt. Clapperton, R. N. and Mr. Dixon, who are engaged in the ardu- ous service of tracing the Niger from the Atlantic shores to Timbuctoo, tbat Mr: Houston, who accom panied Capt. Clapperton up the country towards Yourie, and returned to the Whydah Roads, after being absent four months, gives the most satisfactory- accounts of the progress of the mission up to the river Katunga. He says, " The climate in the interior is so much finer than on the coast, that I was only sick one day. We were everywhere throughout this long journey received with the greatest kindness and esteem by the Ca'oouceers, and by the people with acclamations. Provisions are in the greatest abundance, and carriers for the baggage were furnished at every stage by order of the Kiug; and from the time we left Badagry until my return, not even the value of a cowrie was missed ; nor did King, Caboueeers, or a slave, even beg so much as one. This is surely unprecedented in the annals of African discovery. I left Katunga Eyeo on the 14th of March, aud arrived at Badagry on the 12th of April, having been absent four months and five days— fifty days in Katunga, which is a large city, having a wall from 12 to 15 miles in circumference, part of the ground, within being planted with corn, yams, onions, & c. Like Daho- mey, it is distant from the Niger or Quavia river about 30 miles, and about 350 from Badagry, but above 400, taking the winding course of the road. The country is varied with hill and dale, prosperous and beautiful, great part like that behind Whyday, clear of wood and well cultivated."— Hampshire Telegraph.

LAYING ON A COAT— On Satuiday last, some painters employed oil the front of Mr. Blackcr's house, in College- green, owing to the wetness of the day, quilted work at an early hour. Shortly after their departure a tall fellow, having a paint pot in one hand, and a brush in the other, entered the house, and proceeded deliberately* through the shop and up stairs. Mr. Blacker, meeting hint oil his way up, remarked lo him on the unfitness of the weather for bis business, to which the fellow coolly replied, " that he was merely going to prepare matters to lay on a coal," which object it afterwards appeared, he literally accomplished, by descending shortly afterwards, wear- ing or carrying in his pot ( a large one), two frock coals, some pairs of trowsers, and oilier articles, with a few silver spoons; he returned through tbe shop, observing that he had made a complete finish of that job.— Dublin Morning Post It appears from official returns, that Ihe importation of cotton wool up to the end of August, 182S is 13( 1,000 bags less than up to Ibe same period in 1825. The exportation in 1826 is nearly double lhat of 182r>' two and a half times more than that of 1824 ami more than three times thai of 1823.
