INTENDED LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION CANAL. iN Order to « i? e increased Facility to the Passage of Goods and other Articles between the Port of London and the Midland Districts, it is pro- posed to make a navigable . Canal froui the Grand Junction Canal at Brannston to a Point of the Strat- ford- on- Avon Canal, Ten Miles only distant from the Town of Birmingham, lo which Place there is a direct Canal Communication, free from Lockage. The Promoters of this Improvement iu Canal Navi- gation have merely to state, that if the proposed Line ol Canal, which lias been surveyed and carefully examined by Thomas Telford, Esquire, as Engineer, he adopted, the Trade from London to Birmingham, and Places beyond, will have to pass between Braun slnn and Birmingham through only twenty Locks, instead of seventy. seven Locks, which are found on the shortest existing Line of Cnuiuiuuication between these two Points. The Time aud Expense thus saved will not only be ad vantageous to the Trade passing from London t(, Birmingham, but must prove au important Benefit to ( he Coal and Iron Districts of Staffordshire, Worces- tershire, and Shropshire, while all Trade passing to more distant Places will find a further Saving of Time and Distance beyond that which will » r; se from Ihe recent I mproveineuts on the Line of the Birmingham Canal towards Wolverhampton, and the Construction of ihe Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal, which is inactive Progress, and when completed " ill form a Junction with the Ellesmere and Chester Canal, and through that with Ihe Port of Liverpool and Town of Manchester, altogether by a descending Lockage. In Addition to Ihe before- mentroned very irnprrtont Advantages, it is proposed to make a Branch of about one Mile iu Length from the intended new Line of Canal, near the Citv of Coventry, close to which it passes, to join the Coventry Canal, and through it form a new Connection with'the Grand Trunk Canal, w hereby the Distance between the Metropolis and the Staffordshire Potteries, the Port of Liverpool, and tbe Tow n of Manchester, by the Line of the Coventry and Grand Trunk Canals, will he diminished ten Miies at the least. The Extent of ihe proposed London and Birming- ham Junction Canal will be about thirty- five Miles, and ils Course through ihe Country will not annoy or injure the Residence of any individual. The Expense of completing this (' anal, after being carefully exa- mined, is estimated at Three Hundred Thousand Pounds ; nnd in Order to secure an ample Return for this E x pen cli lure, it is considered a * ery moderate Tonnage will be sufficient. It is proposed to raise the A mount of Capital hy a Subscription of Shares of One Hundred Pounds each, on which a Dep- osit of One Pound per Shaie will be required to be pain to the Treasurers, Messrs. Moir,- LIET, SMITH, and PEARSON, Bankers, Birmingham, or Sir JOHN WILLIAM LOBBOCK, Bart, and Company, Bankers, London.

The French Papers of Thursday are filled vvith accounts of disturbances which have taken place, in Paris since the triumph obtained by the Consti- tutional party in the metropolitan elections. These disturbances receive from the Gazette de France a political character, which is strenuously denied by the other journals. The former contends that the rejoicing's of the people displayed themselves by shouts and transparencies of a rebellious nature. The other prints maintain that those shouts if uttered, and those transparencies if shown, were uttered and put forth by police agent ® , who were, let loose among the populace. It appears that the soldiery were called upon to act, add did so vvith decision and effect. Their firing upon the people may have put an end to the riot, but it will perhaps only increase the general feeling against the Ministry. A Messenger from Vienna arrived on Thursday, bringing dispatches relative to the departure of Prince Miguel from Vienna, who may now be expected in a very few days lsi London. it is presumed to be the intention of Ministers to withdraw the English troops from Portugal almost immediately, as the order for sending out to them a fresh supply of clothing has been with- drawn. Dr. Copleston, formerly tutor of Earl Dudley, is now talked of as the new Bishop; aud the Public Orator of Cambridge University is mentioned as likely to succeed to the See of Sodor and Man. Barbot, in hts description of the coasts of Guinea, Written more than a century ago, says of Sierra Leone—" The air is altogether very unwholesome for Europeans, as many Englishmen who have dwelt in the fort of the small Bence island during the high season of the year could witness, if they hfi. fi not died there;"—" fresh and sweet as the water is ( the spring water), it has an ill effect upon, the'sailors, if taken in the beginning of the rainy season, but mare, especially in April, because the violent heats of the summer having corrupt , d the earth, and kill; d. abundance of venomous creatures, the heavy rains which ensue occasion mighty floods, and these wash down all the poisonous matter into the springs and channels., and conse- quently give a malignity to the water." And he recommends Europeans to eat the fruit of the country sparingly, and to avoid drinking water to excess ; if not, they " cause a pestilential distem- per, which is almost certain death " ADMIRAL SIR. E. CODRINGTOV.— This dis tinguished naval officer, who has proyed himself by the battle of Navarino worthy of having served under the immortal Nelson, commanded the Orion at the battle of Trafalgar, and although his g'lip bore only a secondary part on that ever- memorable day, she was manoeuvred and fought vvith the greatest skill and gallantry. When the Africa, 64, which had previously suffered severely from her advanced position, had, notwithstanding her decided supe-= riority of force, gallantly engaged the lutrepide of 74 guns, and maintained tl> e unequal contest for • nearly three quarters of an hour, the Orion oppor » tunely came up, and opened a destructive fire on the enemy's starboard quarter. After a few broadsides, the Orion then wore round the stern of the Intrepide, and bringing to on the lee bow ofthe latter, between her and the Africa, whose fire, without any dis- paragement to her, was nearly silenced, she main- tained so heavy and well directed a cannonade, that in less than a quarter cf an hour the main and mizen masts of the French ship, already injured by the . Africa's fire, fell over her side, and left her no alternative but to strike her colours, which she did after having suffered great damage in her huljas well as masts, and sustained a loss of nearly 200 in killed and wounded.— In the cannonade of Flushing, Captain Codrington also distinguished himself. On that occasion he commanded the Blake, 74 guns, which bore the flag of Rear- Admiral Lord Gardner, aud, except the St. Domingo, suffered more than any other ship of the squadron, froiu having grounded ou the edge of the Dog Sand, in attempting to pass inside of her leader, which was in the same situation, though the Blake was in ignorance of it, owing to the St. Domingo having opened her fire on the town aud batteries. In about three hours, however, both were got off, and, anchored with the others. While the Blake was in this exposed situation, she was several times set on fire by red hot shot, and was considerably damaged in her hull, masts, and rigging.— Since the conclusion of the war, Sir Edward Codrington has resided chiefly at. Brighton. DREADFUL CONFLAGUATION— Vienna, Nov. 8. — The celebrated place of pilgrimage, Maria Zell, vvith the exception of a few detached houses, was totally destroyed by fire on the night of the first of this month. A furious storm was raging at the time. One hundred and forty houses, the beautiful church, the convent, and the post- office, are reduced to ashes. The number of persons who have lost their lives is uncertain : one family, consisting of eleven persons, perished in the flames The Gratz Journal of the 5ih inst. says, it is feared that' many children, old people, and sick persons, had lost their lives The image ofthe Virgin was saved! COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOV. 16.— Ou the motion of the Attorney General, the Court granted a rule for a Mandamus to admit an attorney named Buckland a freeman ofthe borough of Doncaster, as having- served an apprenticeship of seven years to an attorney. The objection made to his claim was, that the business of an attorney was a profession and not a trade; but Mr. Justice Bay ley held that the clerk is bound to au attorney to learn his pro- fession, and, therefore, in the old meaning? of the word, he is strictly an apprentice. Edward Shackel, the publisher of the John Bull newspaper, was brought upon the floor of the King's Bench on Thursday, to receive judgment for the libel on Mr Hartshorne, for which offence he was sentenced to a fine of £ 500. Gibbins and another, Assignees of William Aston, v. John Button Phillips, Esq. late Sheriff cf Staffordshire— in this case, which has been tried twice at Stafford, the Court of King's Bench have granted a Rule to shew cause why the verdict obtained by the defendant should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. On Thursday morning, Edward Lowe, aged 40, for coining, John Powell, 23, for robbing his employers, Messrs. Sevvell and Cross, an extensive silk- house in Lad- lane, and hi which he was a collecting clerk ; Charles Smith, 21, and John Keaton, 36, for highway robberies, were executed 111 front of Newgate, in the presence of an immense concourse of persons. Thomas Sackett, who was to have suffered at the same time, received a respite ou the preceding day. AN IRISH WITNFSS— Wednesday evening an in. quest was. lmlden at the Magpie and the Slump, St George's in the East, on the body of Hubert Mahonv, an infant. The first witness called was an atsliqnahd buly from the sister isle, who gave her name as Mrs, Eleauoi OrKeeffe, and between whom and the Coroner, Ibe following colloquy took place:^- Coroner: Take that book ( the B. ble) in your right hand— Mrs. OTCeeffe; Not tti'ysi i'f, indeed; I am not jit h> lake the hook, a poor old orator like inc.— Oh ! but you must take the book, aud be sworn lo tell the truth, and the whole truth, to the Jury, else I must take measures to compel you. — Mrs. O'KeiffV; Indeed then 1 won't, for you and all your power, oi foi anv body else. Is it me who have got out of my bed to come here, pretty tnatment indeed for an old woman. Sure 1 knows nothing at all about it, but tiiat 1 saw the poor tiling dying.— Coroner: ! cannot receive your testimony except on oath Will you take the book and be sworn?— Mrs. O'Kcefi'e : Oh, then the devil an oath I'll lake— A Juror here remonstrated with In i and said ihey were ail obliged to swear ou'thc same book whieh was offered to her.— 1 he old dame noticing the . accent in which she was addressed, aud perceiving it to be purely Minister, after eyeing the speaker exohiirm<!—" Oh, then Mr. Brady, is il your- self that's there; G. fcd knows its youiself that would not. be after telling me to do a wrojig thing."— She then took up the sacred volume, and after being sworn iu tbe usual foim, proceeded to state that on Monday morning, about six o'clock, she was called on by the mother ofthe infant, who told her it was dying, and requested her lo come, aud she did go, and found it in the arms of its father, quite dead.-— A verdict ol Natural Death. T he first hop dinner for the season took place on Wednesday, at the Fleece Inn, Canterbury; a very numerous and respectable company sat down to au excellent dinner, and though many choice samples of prime East Kent pockets and bags were exhibit- ed, but few sales were effected, and the best pockets did not fetch more than £ 5.5s.— Kentish Chronicle.

An extraordinary express from Paris, which arrived early this morning, has put us in possession of news from Constantinople of the 5th instant. According to this intelligence, ^ communication had been received by the French Government from General Guillemioot, announcing^ that at the above date the fact of the destruction of the Turco- Egyptian fleet had been known in Constantinople four days; but that every thing remained quiet, and that the Allied Ambassadors, in conjunction with the Austrian Internuncio, had renewed their efforts to induce the Porte to accede to the Treaty of Intervention. It is added, hopes were enter- tained of the successful issue of their endeavours. This is the amount of the intelligence received from Paris. It is, as our readers will perceive, negatively favourable, inasmuch as the Porte had borne the disastrous tidings from Navarin without manifesting any of that fierce temper which was anticipated. The persons of the Ambassadors had been exposed to no peril, nor had there arisen any popular effer- vescence which might have endangered the lives and property of the European residents in the Turkish capital. On the other hand, it must be remembered, that the means of diffusing unwelcome news are not exactly the same at Constantinople aa in Paris or Loudon. There are no daily journals to spread it over the public mind instantaneously; and it would be, berhaps, premature'to conclude, that when, [ by slow degrees, it had become generally known, the same quiet would prevail. Dispatches have been received from Lord Gran- ville, at Paris, communicating, in substance, the facts announced by General Guillemitiol; but add- ing, that a Divan had either assembled, or was about to assemble, to deliberate upon the renewed propositions of the Allied Ambassadors, and upon the general state of the questions in discussion between the Porte and her allies, as affected by the battle of Navarin. It was inferred, that our Ambas- sador had delayed sending off his communications till the result of the deliberations of the Divan was known. Four o^ Cloch,— Mr. Holmes, a King's Messenger, has just arrived at the Foreign Office, with dis- patches from Sir Henry Wellesley, at Vienna. He was the bearer, also, of dispatches from Mr. Strat- ford Canning* at Constantinople, dated the 5th inst. All that w e are enabled to state at present is, that the Divan were still sitting at the above date, and had come to no final resolution upon the subjects under their consideration. Constantinople remained tranquil, Richards, fhe publisher of The Age newspaper, for a libel on the Earl of Glengull, was this day senteuced lo pay a fine of £ 200.

Carrots.— From a piece of ground in Kintnel Park gardens measuring fifteen perches and a half, has been drawn by Mr. Forrest, the gardener, the extraordinary crop of five tons of carrots, which is in the proportion of fifty tons or upwards per statute acre; one carrot weighed seven pounds. In fhe production of this crop much praise is due to the gardener, as the soil, though powerful, is by no means naturally adapted for the growth of this excellent root. PLANTING OAK.— The Rev. Dr. Lisle, of St. Pagan's, Glamorganshire, has, in a letter to the Editor of the Bath Chronicle, dated Oct. 13, ex- plained his method of raising oaks in pots, specimens of which may be seen at the Agricultural Society's Rooms, Hetling House, in that city.—" The acorns ( says the Rev. Gentleman) which produced these oaks were sown in the pots last November; the pots were kept during winter In an old melon bed under glass, and before they started, they were taken out and plunged in the earth. 1 have now 300 pots sown at the same time fit to be turned out, and sufficient to furnish three acres of land with plants, allowing six yards between each plant. 1 have some sown in spring from acorns kept during the winter, but these sown in November immediately from the tree are the best plants." ^ OTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that a MEETING of the Trustees ofthe Shrewsbury District of the Walling Street Road, Stretton and Long- den, and of the Minsterley, Westbury, Shelton, Pool, and Baschurch Districts of Turnpike Roads, will be held at the GUILDHALL, in Shrewsbury, on MONDAY, the 3d Day of December next, at Eleven o'Clock iu the Forenoon.

On Monday lust, a quantity of Carrots, weighing from211) 6. lo S^ lbs. each, were got up in one of tbe newly- made gardens in the Raven- Meadow, in this town*.— They were the produce of seed sown in May last. Last week, a smart and clever reply was made by an intelligent girl in the service of a gentleman in Bridgnorth, the wit of which was prompt, though not al the time imagined by Ihe party. On being jocularly lold at dinner," Jane, there's a nice hare's head amongst the hash ; keep that, be sure, as a tit bit for yourself." The girt promptly answered, " I'm not partial to Head, there's too much Jaw about it." liASTiiouRNE— On the 17th instant, Mr, John Pendrill, aged 7( 1, dropped down in his garden, while at work, and instantly expired. Tbe deceased was the last receiver of the annual donation made by the Government to the male heir of that family, for the preservation of King Charles in the oak, which donation islo continue as long as a male Ileit- is to be found living. The sou of the deceased, and heir in succession, we understand,' is living as clerk at the Gloucester Hotel, in this town.— Brighton Guardian. A Meotiuty of tlio Pariehionoi- s of St. Chad, in this town, took place on the 15th instant, to receive an account ofthe Out- Pay expended in the relief of the Poor ofthe said parish ; when it appeared that, from the 30th of March to the 5th of October, 1827, there had been 384 persons relieved, of whom 131 had received occasional relief, 152 had been paid weekly, and 101 were nurse- children.— The total sum expended had been £ 914. 17s. 6d.; of which sum £ 369.17s. 6d. was under the head of Weekly Pay; £ 142. 8s. 3d. for Nurse Pay; £ 138. 14s. 2d. for the Pay of Nou- Resident Poor; £ 100.6s. for Occasional Pay ; and £ 110. 3s. for Foreign Pay — The amount paid for Law Expenses was £ 16. 10s 5d.; and for Medicine £ 36.17s 3d. We are informed, a Society has been proposed, and is uow forming, lo recover horses stolen within five miles of Shrewsbury, and to prosecute the offenders. A fund is intended to be raised, by au advance of £ 5 from each member, to be applied for the above purpose under the direction of a com- mittee.— At no one time do we recollect when an association of this kind was more wanted. The number of horses stolen recently from thii neigh- bourhood loudly calls for some vigorous aiid effect- ive measures being adopted ; and we would strenuously recommend all persons keeping horses to have their names registered in this spciety, or perhaps their horses may become the marked object of the depredators. Committed to Stafford Gaol, Thomas Beddows, charged with stealing, at Cleobury Mortimer, in this county, a brown mare, the property of William James.

DARING AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.— A sreiitle- man belonging to the firm of Whitehead and Co. of the Warwick Bank, took his place ut the King's Arms Tavern, Snow- hill, on Wednesday, to go with tbe mail on tbe same night to Warwick, He gave directions to the clerk ( as he had done on former occasions) that the mail should stop at the Furnival's- Inu Coffee- house, iu Holborn, and take him up, as he had luggage there which he had to take with him. The mail coach stopped at the usual hour, about eight o'clock, according, to his orders, and the gentleman came out of Furnival's- lun with two bags in his charge, one containing 2,000 sovereigns, and tbe olher £ 20,000 in five and ten pound country notes of the bank of Messrs. Whitehead, Weston, Greenway, and Co. of Warwick, payable at Glyn and Co.' s, Lombard- street, Loudon; antl of the Stratford- on- Avon, Shepston- on- Stour, and Chipping Norton banks, of the same firm. The porter in at tendance had the bag, containing notes to a con. siderable amount, snatched out ofhis hand by some villain, who, favoured by the darkness of the night, got clear off with his booty, and has not since been heard of. It is fortunate that the other bag, which the porter held in his baud, containing two thousand sovereigns, escaped the grasp of the villain, who is supposed to have followed the parties from tbe banking house in Lombard- street into Hblboru, and was aware of its contents from its apparent weight. There is but little doub! that the possession of this bag was the thief's principal object, in which he was fortunately, though unintentionally, defeated, by the gentleman himself, who entertaining sotne doubt as to the strength of the bag in which the gold was deposited, on reaching the inn removed the sovereigns into the other bag, which was of a stronger texture.— In consequence of their loss by this robbery, Messrs Whitehead and Co. havers- quested al! holders of their notes to bring them in for payment, " as they do not intend to re- issue any more of their notes now in circulation, and are pre- pared to issue fresh, ones printed iu red." PREROGATIVE COURT. By removal from the Consistory Court of St, Asaph, for setting- aside a Will. Michaelmas Term, \ st. day. MORRIS AND MORRIS r. JONES. This ca » tse came on for hearing before Sir J. Nicholl. — Beinga suit originally commenced in the Consistory Court, of St. Asaph, instituted by Edward Morris and John Morris, parties in this cause, against Edward Jones, the other party therein, for the purpose of setting aside a pretended will, set up by tlie said Edward Jones, as the last will of William Morris, late of Plns- yn pent re, in the parish of Llangollen, in the county of Denbigh, gentleman, deceased, of the 13th September, 1826, in which the said Edward Jones was the sule universal legatee, devisee, and executor, and also the drawer of such will, and to have in substitu- tion of such pretended last, will,- a previous one of 27th August, 1825, admitted to probate as being his legal last will. The personalty of testator at the time ol his decease, being under £ 3000. The said Edward Jones in hi;? allegation exhibited in this cause, in support of the said will of testator's, of 13th September, i826, set out that such will was drawn by himself, pursuant to testator's instructions, iu the presence and hearing of the attesting witnesses, w hile testator was of sufficient mental capacity, and that the same was audibly read to him previous to his signing it. The said Edward and John Morris hy their allega tion against the will, denied that such instructions emanated from testator; that he was of sufficient mental capacity to do such an act, requiring fore- thought and deliberation, by reason of exhaustion from continual sickness and delirium, and that consequently the signature to the will was a mere mechanical act of testator, and they thereby further contended, that as the said Edward Jones was himself drawer of such will, and the sole legatee, aud wholly and solely bene- fitted therein from such circumstances, and from the alleged imbecility of the mind of the testator, and from the alleged clandestinity used in, and accom panying the transaction, the said will so set up by the said Edward Jones was null and void, and could not be supported in law. Jn the vacation preceding this term, articles of agreement were entered into, between and bv the par- lies in this suit, whereby it was agreed by the said Edward Morris and John Morris, and Edward Jones, with the consent of the legatees, under fhe will of 27th August, 1825, on their ( the legatees) paying sixty pounds to Ihe said Ed- ward Jones, in order 10 save ihe property from being further wasted, that all proceed- ings should be stopped, save and except so far as should be necessary to set aside the said will of the 13th September, 1826, propounded by the said Edward Jones, and further, for confirming and establishing the said will of the 27th August, 1825. On the first day of term, the Court, on the part of the said Edward and John Morris, was moved in the suit, under the terms of the said agreement, when Messrs-; Crpsswell aud Adams, for the said Edward Jones, declared they proceeded ho farther in the suit, whereupon the court, on the prayer of Towhsbend, on- behalfof the said Edward and John Morris, decreed the said Will to be set aside, and directed Probate of the last- mentioned Will of 27th August, 1825, to be granted to the said Edward Morris, the party to this suit, thereby vesting in his hands, as Executor thereof, the personalty of Testator, amounting to £ 2000 and upwards, for the benefit of himself and the other legatees, under the same Will .— Chester Chronicle.

Davies, of the East India Company's service, whose melan- choly death was recorded a few weeks back.— Linet— Col. Davies ( known throughout all India by the appellation of Tiger Davies, from his frequent daring encounters with that animal,) was assassin- ated, in May last, at Mominadab, by a party of tbe Nizam's 3d Regiment of Native Horse, while endeavouring to quell, by remonstrance, a spirit of insubordination which they had manifested. His death, however, was avenged by the lst and the. remainder of the 3d Regiment of Native Horse, who instantly charged the mutineers and put them to the sword. Lieut.- Colonel Davies was idolized by the native troops, and that circumstance, com- bined with the fearless intrepidity of his character, induced him to trust himself unattended among the deluded men at the moment of their greatest ex- citation— a confidence which was attended by so unfortunate a result. rl. s. d. 35 6 to 36 6 6 0 to 7 0 6 6 lo 7 0 4 0 to 4 6 7 0 t.. 8 0 .. 2 9 to 3 3 .. 44 0 to 47 0 ... 40 0 to 42 0 20,842.

Upon the Culture of Celery.— By T. A Knight, Esq. F. R S. President of the Horticultural Society.— '' That which can be very easily done, without the exertion of much skill and ingenuity is," Mr. Knight observes, < k very rarely found to be we!) done, the excitement to excellence being in . such cases ne- cessarily very feeble." This remark is in the present case applied to the cultivation of celery, which, being a native of the sides . of wet ditclns, might naturally be expected to demand an abundant supply of water when cultivated Accordingly Mr. Knight found lhat by keeping the ground in which celery was planted constantly wet, it grew by the middle of Sep- tember to the height of five feet, and its quality was in proportion to its size. Mr. Knight also recom- mends planting at greater distances than is usually the case, and covering Ihe beds into which the young seedlings are first removed with half- rotten dung, overspread to the depth of about two inches with mould; under which circumstances, whenever the plants are removed, the dung will adhere tenaciously to their roots, and it will not be necessary to deprive Ihe plants of any part of their leaves. BRITISH SAILORS.— We wanted to judge if the cry of " Tea ahoy" on board ship, and the long peace, had produced any effect on those hardy sons of Britain, " whose borne is on the mountain deep." The number of ships recently paid off at this port, has enabled us to make the necessary observations, and the result is, that Jack on shore, whatever he is on ship- board, has lost nothing of his peculiarities; so much for the wisdom of those who prognosticated the ruin of the British navy, from the Introduction of tea, sugar, oatmeal, and wine, instead of buckets of grog. Jack is the same strange, thoughtless, and IVolicksome being as ever He bears the same mea- sure of delight in his eye. He rolls with tbe same exquisite grace. Knots of tars ( for they always associate in herds) may be seen moving about with lockers weil stored and brimful of fun. The jarvies" are kept in constant requisition, and Jack, as usual, not caring a quid for the usages of society, leaves the inside of the " craft" for women and lubbers, and takes his station on deck, along side ofthe driver, that he may have room to flourish his shillelah, and be able to see how the land lies. In the public- house many an old fiddle has been dragged from its rusty peg, and taught by the " forty elbow power" of its lame or blind owner " to discourse most eloquent music," In fact, Jack's portrait 20 years ago requires no fresh touch from the limner's hand. He has not yet gained on the" march of intellect." He calls the handicraft scholar a " humbug," and as soon as his locker is out, which he takes care to open at both ends, he again enters " on board the Arethusa."— Dexonport Telegraph. PREVALENCE OF CRIME IN EDINBURGH.— At the conclusion of a recent trial in the Court of Jus- ticiary, Edinburgh, the Lord Advocate remarked— " That this was the last of sixteen cases— in all of which the principal parties had been convicied, and which completed the business connected with this part ofthe country— though there still remained one cause for trial from another quarter. He could not help expressing his. regret ut the continued prevalence of crime, which, of late, had much in- creased in this neighbourhood. The time vyas still fresh iu the recollection of their lordships, when a justiciary trial vvas considered, in Edinburgh, as something remarkable, and seldom occurred beyond once a month : but last year the Court had sat every Monday during session, besides holding three sit- tings of nearly a week each in length, occupied entirely in criminal cases, it was true that there had been some cases from other parts of the country; but nine- tenths of the cases were crimes committed, in this city or its neighbourhood. Those, he said, connected with its police, ought to endeavour, if possible, to devise efficient means, not merely for the punishment, but for the prevention of crime; and he was sure that was their anxious wish. He could uot but deplore the frequency of the crime of housebreaking, which, even while these. cases had been in progress, had been committed to an extraor-, dinarv extent." !

SETTING IN OF AN INDIAN MONSOON.— The' shades of evening approached as we reached the ground, and just as ihe encampment was completed, the atmosphere grew suddenly dark, the heat became oppressive, and an unusual stillness presaged the immediate setting in of live monsoon. The whole appearance of nature resembled those, solemn preludes to earthquakes and hurricanes in the West Indies, from which the east iu general is providentially free. We were allowed very little time for conjecture ; in a few minutes the heavy clouds burst over us. 1 witnessed seventeen monsoons in India, but this exceeded them all, iu its awful appearance and dread- ful effects. Encamped in a low situation, on the borders of a lake formed to collect the surrounding water, we found ourselves, in a few hours, in a liquid plain. The lent pins giving way, in a loose soil, the lenis fell down, ami left the whole army exposed to the contending elements. It requires a lively imagination to conceive the situ- ation of 100,000 human beings of every description, with more than 200,000 elephants, camels, horses, and oxen, suddenly overwhelmed by this dreadful storm, in a strange country, without auy knowledge of high or low grounds, the whole being covered by an im- mense lake, and surrounded by thick darkness, which prevented our distinguishing a single object, except such as the vivid glare of lightning displaced in horri- ble forms. No language can describe the wreck of a large encampment, thus instantaneously destioyed, and covered with water; amid the cries of bhl men and helpless women, terrified by the piercing shrieks of their expiring children, unable lo afford them relief. During this dreadful night more than " 200 persons and 3000 cattle perished, and the morning dawn exhibited a shocking s, oeclacU\, - Forbes's Oriental Memoirs.

A meeting of the Bankers of the County of War- wick, was held in Birmingham on Tuesday, when resolutions were entered into declaratory of the expedienty of adopting measures " for more effectu- ally, protecting the Country Bankers of England and Wales from ' the injurious consequences; of tbe extraor4m^ rjy ahd totally unjustifiable attacks to which they have be^ en subjected ," and of the opinion of the meeting that u the continuation of special pri vileges to the Bank of England, renders the establishment of Branch Banks unfair to the Country Bankers, and inconsistent with the princi- pled of free trade and liberal competition." Three gentlemen were afterwards deputed on behalf of the meeting to attend the Committee in London, appointed to watch over and defend the interests of Country Bankers. A very numerous and highly- respectable meeting of the Bankers of Yorkshire was held in York last week ; when,' it is understood, several gentlemen were appointed delegates, to form part of a general committee of the Bankers of England, which will shortly meet in London. Tbe object of the Com- mittee is to protect their common interests as bankers, and, through them, those Of the community at large; both of which they conceive to be materially endangered by , the attempts at universal monopoly evinced by the Bank of England. STAMP INFORMATIONS.— Two informations of rather a peculiar nature have lately been laid by Mr. Aquila Shepherd, Army Cloth Merchant, of Hudders, field, against persons in town, for giving receipts on unstamped paper. The first against Mr. William Moore, bookseller; wherein Mr. Moore actually received only l? s. from the in-! forrxier^;, in balance of an account exceeding two poufvdsj<- and the second against Mr. Francis Dalton, t- he deputy constable of Huddersfield, who, having' \ 6ccasion to accompany Mr. Shepherd to York, disbursed certain sums of money on his accouufj - which he received again from his friends on his return, and for which he gave an acknow- ledgment oh the account, without using a stamp. The hardness of this latter case was felt so strongly by the Magistrates, that they signed a memorial to the Commissioners of Stamps, stating the facts, and praying that the penalty might be remitted. Mr. Moore also transmitted a memorial, representing, that as the money he received was less than two pounds, he conceived a stamp re- ceipt was not required. The parties have, how- ever, both been convicted in the mitigated penalty of five pounds and costs.— Leeds Mercury. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF FELONY— In the Recorder's Court, Dublin, on Saturday, Dr. Tracy j who has long practised as a physician, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing three yards of linen from a shop in Dublin. He- was sentenced to seven years' trans postal ion. When the sentence was announced-, a lady,- W; bo had been sitting in a retired part of the Court, siuit ked aloud, and several persons of respect- abi¥ appearance, who seemed to be relations of the prisoner, exhibited ihe most poignant feelings at his miserable condition The unfortunate man appeared to, be infected w ith a species of shop- lifting mania, for he was Til exceedingly good circumstances; he had received a fortune of £ 2000 with his wife, and had by no means an inconsiderable practice in Dublin. He used to go about to the shops and auction rooms, with a large carnblet cloak, in the inside of which he had a number of pockets, and thus succeeded in carrying on his practice, for a long time. Oa search- ing his house, a quantity of silk, ribbons, plated ware, aud various other articles stolen from several shops iu Dublin, were found there. DARING ROBBERY.— On Tuesday night, the house of the Rev. Mr . Jones, of Raddon- bridge, a village about four miles from High Wycomb, was entered by a gang of burglars. They entered the premises by means of a two- story ladder; they then proceeded to the bed- room of the Rev. Gentleman, who has nearly, if not quite, reached the venerable age of 80 years. The old gentleman was alarmed, and the villains ordered him to re- main quiet, or they would murder him. About this period a servarit- niard was awakened, and overheard a part of their threats: with singular intrepidity she escaped from her chamber window, with ub other attire than her chemise — not even shoes - and proceeded to some cottages about 200 yards distance; she there procured the assistance of two men, and with them she returned to her paster's residence, when she found that tbe coachman and some other- persons had been alarmed, and that three of the thieves had es caped; the fourth was in the act of coming down the ladder, and on his reaching terra firma he made a most desperate resistance, and a regular contest took place: the coachman had armed him- self with what is called a twitch, an instrument used for the purpose of securing horses; the loop of this he dexterously fastened over the Sst of the robbei', and, twisting it round, effectually secured him; and on Wednesday the thief was taken before a magistrate at High Wycomb, when it appeared, that on searching his person three rings vy. ere fo. und in his possession, which were identified byv a lady, we understand, the daughter of Mr. Jones;' and it was proved that the villains ordered Mr. Jones to go with them to various parts of the house, to shew them where the most valuable articles were to be found. On the lawn, in front of the house, a plate- chest, containing many valu- able articles, was found; and had not the servant girl been alarmed and overheard them, they would have obtained a great booty. The footman was alarmed during their stay, but we are informed was so much frightened, that he escaped all danger by taking* flight to the top of the house* The robbers, it would appear, anticipated a great " haul;" but the utmost amount of cash in the house was £ 23, with which, and a quantity of wearing apparel, the three robbers not yet taken escaped. Had they been a day later, in all probability the extent of their plunder would have been, greater, Wednesday being the day on which the Rev. Gentleman would have received his com- positjon for tithes, amounting to a very consider- able sum, on which occasion it was his custom to treat; the farmers with a dinner.— The magistrate before w'hotn the thief was taken committed him to Aylesbury gaol.- r- It was only the night before - thvU' Wyatt's Marlow coach was robbed of several valuable parcels, and there is reason to believe that both the robberies have been committed by the xsame gahg — most likely a London gang— who hav%\ g'oive out for an excursion on the dark nights before Christmas. MYSTERIOUS DEATH.—( From the Leeds Intelli- gencer.)— The sudden death of Mrs; Hemsworth, of Half on, near this town, under circumstances which appeared somewhat mysterious, has created a strong sensation in this neighbourhood. Mrs. Hemsworth, who was a widowed lady, seventy- five years of age, obtained a sum of £ 6000 in the spring of the present year, which, as she died without will, is to be divided amongst her three children. The lady's death took place under the following circumstances. About two o'clock on the morning of Monday week, although up to that period she enjoyed her usual health and spirits, Mrs. Hemsworth became so seri- ously ill, that she vomited almost incessantly from that time till ten o'clock the same forenoon, when she expired; and a general inquiry arose amongst her relatives and friends as to the causes which might have induced so fatal a termination. Amongst other conjectures, it was supposed she might have been poisoned ; and suspicion falling upon her son- in- law, he was apprehended and placed in custody in our gaol, on Friday evening.— On that day pre- parations were making for the funeral, but the pro ; eeiklir. g was stayed until the verdict of a Coroner's Jury should be obtained. Tbe inquest was held at Hal ton, on Saturday, and thence by adjournment on Monday, for the purpose- of investigating the cir- cumstances of the case, when there was sufficient evidence adduced to prove that poison had been administered, but it failed to bring it home to the individual whom it was designed to implicate. The Jury therefore returned a verdict of " Died by poison; but by whom administered, not known."— The individual is released from prison. EXiM TIMBEK. Upon the subject of this particular species of timber, that distinguished planter, horticulturist, and botanist, T. A. Knight* ' EsKji . of Dow a ton, has addressed the ' following letter to the . Editor ofthe Hereford Journal, which we extract for the benefit of our readers. Downton, Nob. 5, 1827. SIR, — I read in your Journal a few months ago, an opinion that if plants of common. English, or as it is sometimes called, the W. tcestershire Elm .( the' uhnvs suberifera of Linnaeus), wi re obtained from seeds, those plants would be found to grow more f. eely, and obtain a larger stature than others raised, as'they now universally are, from scions from the roots, or cuttings from the branches of trees of old varieties. This opinion I have long entertained, and I iiave had very good reason to infer, that not only the quantity, but the quality also, of the timber, is affected bv the age of the varieties ; and as the common elm affords the largest portion of the timber raised in parts of this and of the adjoining- counties, any suggested improvement io tiie propagation of it w ill probably prove acceptable to some of your readers, and I therefore send you the fol low i ngo bs e r v a t i o u. s. I have compared during many years the annual growth of some common elm trees in the favourable soil and climate of Burghill, and in other parts of England, will) that of oaks of similar size growing in the colder climate and comparatively barren soil of Worinslev Grange; and I have found that the growth of the oak lias very considerably exceeded that of the elm, no part of the branches of the trees of either species having been amputated ; and having had oc- casion to fell some elms upon a small estate which 1 possess in the parish of Burghill, { found much the greater part of them to be internally'.. defective and hollow, though they were neither large nor old,. I previously had frequent occasion to. observe that oak trecsj; which spring from the stools of old coppices, became infernally defective and hollow at. an early age ; a circumstance well known to timber- merchants ; • uid I, believe the eftrly unsoundness of the elms above- mentioned to have sprung from the. same source. There are, I believe, two species only of elm at ail extensively cultivated as timber trees in the British islands, the wye!) elm, and the uhnus suberifera of Linbeferis. The drst- named isi a, vvell- known native species, which propagates itself abundantly by seeds the other is an exotic, a native probably of Italy, of which we possess several varieties, some of which never afford seeds in our climate, norj believe in any other. These propagate very rapidly by suckers from their roots, towards ' which there appears to he so strong a determination of the true or elaborated Sap of the tree, that sufficient does not remain iu the branches to nourish the seeds. The circumstance of some varieties of this species never affording seeds appears to have heen anciently known, for Varrosays that ihe Athenian elm never produces seeds; and though Columella thinks that it does sometimes afford seeds, he does not pretend to have ever seen the seeds, or seedling plants of it. I thought it probable, many years ago, that b) grafting upon the wyeh elm, from the roots of which no scions ever spring, I should succeed in obtaining seeds of the English elm; I, however, completely failed to succeed, though my plants blossomed freely, and some of them were placed under glass in the temperature of an Italian spring. But I subsequently heard of a species or variety of elm, which was obvi ously different from the wyeh elm, and which ii favourable seasons was known to afford seeds; and from this I obtained seedling plants. The character of these, whilst they remained very young, was not sufficiently distinct to enable me to decide whether they belonged to it different species or were varieties only of ihe uhnus suberifera ; but some of them now so closely resemble iu form and habit the common English elm, that I do not in the slightest degree doubt the specific identity of the two. These seedling plants present a very great variety of form and habit, and in the size and colour of their foliage at different periods\ of the year. Some propagate freely by scions from the roots, whilst Others have not shown any disposition to produce scions ; and one amongst the latter, though it is still very young and growing freely, has iu the last two years afforded perfect seeds in the unfavourable climate of Downton. The habits of the elm are not such as. cau fatigue the patience of the planter after its blossoms appear. My tree blossomed in April last, ripened its seeds in May, which within eight days produced plants, the tallest of which is more than two feet eight inches high. The English elm, and particularly those varieties of it which produce a profusion of scions, is best propa gated by being grafted upon stocks of the w yeh elm, because in this case no useless expenditure of the sap in tbe production of scions can take place; and if any of your readers wish to possess grafts, I shall have much pleasure in supplying them at the proper season. I think it probable that cuttings of ihe English elm might be made to emit roots, if such were taken from the tree in winter, and preserved from severe frost, and were iu March subjected' to the heat ofa moderate hot- bed ; but I cannot speak upon the evidence of experience.

[ From ihe New Monthly Magazine.'] The expense of erecting tbe House of Industry at Wick! ewood, v in 1777, was defrayed by a Tontine called the Forchoe Tontine, consisting ol' 110 shares at £ 100 each, bearing interest at 5 per cent. Fifty years have now elapsed ; aftd in 1827 there are still fifty survivors out of the original number.— Norwich Chronicle. Though the ignorance of the Turks is extreme, their capacity for diplomatic intrigue is almost unparalleled by that of any nation in Europe. Though they are most unskilful in all warlike operations, their bravery is not to be surpassed. And though the slightest ill omen wiil sometimes destroy all their self- confidence, no display of mere force, and no extent of defeat, vvill move them from their purpose, as long as they believe that God and the Prophet approve the cause for which they combat. It is this particular reliance, on the decree of Heaven which has induced them to persevere so long, and, as all other people would have judged. so hopelessly, in their attempts to subdue the Greaks. No continuation of ill success has ever daunted them— no series of disasters, however Ion and unremitting, has ever even dispirited them They have now, for the sixth or seventh time, invaded, and been compelled to evacuate Greece whose final deliverance has, at the end of every successful campaign, been declared to be aecom plished ; but every succeeding year has seen a new array of the undismayed invaders coming, with fresh vigour and increased force, to renew the vvork of destruction, in the hope that, this time, at least., the Prophet will reward their toils by the utter annihilation of. the infidels; still consoling them selves, however, with the assurance, that if they fall in the struggle, Paradise will receive them and that if tliey survive, and are even driven back again, the fulness of time, which is not yet arrived wil1, in the Deity's own wise arrangements, come as decreed, and see them either victims to the cause which insures happiness hereafter, or victors on earth over the enemies of. their sovereign and their faith. The religion of the Turks is not, like that of the Greeks, a mere form of words. The profession of a belief in predestination, and a reliance on the aid of Heaven, is as common to both us it is to the members of our own Church, and each equally address their prayers to Providence for assistance, and attribute their victories, when gained, to Divine interposition. With the Christians, however, whe- ther Greek or Protestant, this is generally a con- ditional sort of reliance, and exists much more in words than in deeds. With the Mohammedans, the belief in predestination is as deep rooted as it is fervent and sincere ; they act upon it to a degree vvhich vvould seem incredible to those who bad not been an eye- witness to its operation. Even in their mercantile adventures, a species of pursuit in which religious belief has, amongst ourselves at least, less influence than in almost any other,, they resist all temptations to secure their property, by insurance from capture, fire, or wreck, asserting, that what- ever is decreed must come to pass, and that snch a mode of avoiding the evils intended to be inflicted on mankind by ( ate, would be rebellion against the will of Heaven t The same principle of perfect resignation to whatever may befall them is as appa- rent in every other class of their transactions; so that to infer, according to the ordinary rules which affect other men, that certain consequences would follow certain events among the Turks, vvould be to deceive ourselves, as well as to mislead all those who place any reliance oa our judgment.— The Sphynx, Reginald Heber did not brings so far as we have heard, any Very high- character for Scholarship. to the university. He had not been at any cine of- the groat public schools, and his abilities therefore could uot have been known but to a few Com- panions. His University Latin prize poem, " Car- men Seeularo,"' soon - . established his ennuis to elegant scholarship,' and inspired the hope of still greater academical distinction. It is a yei: y animated and poetical composition ; but its. Liatinity is certainly not So pure, noi" its versffieatiob so Virgiliiin, as some'of the Latin prize poems of scholars from Winchester a% d Eton." That he. could beat . all the . best men of his year, af their own weapon, was, however, a proof of nis boldness and his ingenuity— nor, we believe, did be himself ever set upon his " copy" any higher value.— But it vvas not till the summer of 1803 that his mos< t beautiful genius broke lorth in all ' its liVtre. In his childhood," says an admirable writer in the Quarterly Review, " Reginald Heber was re- markable for the eagerness sviirrv* hich lie read the Bible, and the accuracy with which HE RE'irieinbered it; a taste and talent which subsequent acquire mentfc and maturer years only served to strengfhers so that a great portion of his reading was intended, or at least was employed, to illustrate the scripture; aud perhaps few men of his. day had attained to so masterly a knowledge of the historical parts of, the Bible, as well as the doctrinal, or could have throw- it happier light upon its Oriental customs, its difficult geography, or the civil, political and moral condition of the people to whom it was addressed." It tnay be well supposed with what delighted enthusiasm a youthful mind so gifted and instructed, would seize upon such a subject as " Palestine" for the first poem to which he brought his fine powers, inspired, it may be said, by piety, and stimulated by an honourable ambition. It seemeda subject select- ed for the very man— nor is it loo much to say, that not another youth in England could have produced such a poem. The music of the heroic measure, in most hands so monotonous, rolls along in his with. a varied . majesty, reminding one of the finest parts of the English" Pullio — " Ye nymphs of Solyma, begin the song." His subject is arranged, and all its parts proportioned, with a judgment so exquisite, that it ought rather to be called genius. The transitions, though often rapid, sudden, and startling, are all natural to an imagination kindled as. bis was by " the visions of glory that spared not his aching, sight." Of old Palestine, ever holy, yet not that Holy Laud it was afterwards to be,< his muse, that '' Her eyes had closed to listen to the strain. Thai Hebrew bards did consecrate of old j And fixed her PiudUs upon Lebanon," sung in strains of which every' line teemed with scriptural imagery, and with a true Hebrew soul, inspired by the Bible. But not till the pure and pious youthful bard comes to the* foot of Mount Calvary, and beholds the rueful uplifting of the cross, do we know and feel how genius may be sublimed by religion. And when from that sad circumstance he unborn ages crowd upon his soul,' 4, his descriptions of the elevation of the human spirit all over the face of the earth, and its final apotheosis, are gloriously coloured bv the language of the Prophets, and seem, indeed, prompted by the spirit he had invoked, " That tombed Isaiah's uallow'd lips with fire." None who heard Reginald Heber recite his " Palestine," in that magnificent theatre, will ever forget his appearance—- so interesting and inv pressive. It was known that his father was some- where sitting among the crowded audience, when his universally- admired son ascended the rostrum 5 and we have heard that the sudden thunder of applause that then arose so shook his frame, weuk and wasted by long illness, that lie never recovered it, and may be said to have died of the joy dearest to a parent's heart. Reginald Heber's recitation, like that of all poets whom we have heard recite, vvas altogether untrammelled by the critical laws of elocution, which were not set at defiance, but either by the poet unknown or forgotten; and there was a charm in his somewhat melancholy voice that occasionally faltered, less f om a feeling of tbe solemnity, and even grandeur of the scene of which he was himself the conspicuous object— though that feeling did suffuse his pale, ingenuous, and animated countenance— than from the deeply- felt sanctity of the subject, comprehending the most awful mysteries of GOD'S revelations to man. As his voice grew bolder and more sonorous in tbe hush, the audience felt that this was not the mere iisplay of the skill and ingenuity of a clever youth the incidental triumph of an accomplished versifier over his compeers in the dexterities of cho. larship— which is ali that can generally be truly said of such exhibitions— but that here was a poet indeed— not only of bright promise, but of high achievement— one whose name was already written in the roll of the Immortals. Aud that feeling— whatever might have been the share ofthe soundless enthusiasm, with which the poem was listened to, attributable io the influence of the genius loci,"— has been sanctioned by the judg- ment ofthe world, that has since placed " Palestine" at the very head of, the poetry on divine subjects of this age. It is now incorporated for ever with the poetry of England— a lot which has befallen but few prize poems, such as Glyu's Day of Judgment, and Porteus's Death; although there are others that deserve and will probably enjoy it— such i. s Wrangbatn's Holy Land, and Grant's Restoration ot' "-. earning and Knowledge in the East,— the first distinguished by sustained spirit aud elegance— the second pervaded by a noble enthusiasm, and in soine of its strains sublime. To CORN DEALERS, MALTSTERS, & e.— It may not be generally, known, that no person, can recover a debt due for any corn, & c. which is sold by the Winchester or eight- gallon measure, unless it is specified iu the invoice, that it is so much Win- chester or eight- gallon measure, equal to so much Imperial or Standard measure. Several instances have occurred lately in which there has been a decision against the seller, owing to his having omitted in tlie invoices the above explanation. THE PRODUCTIVENESS OF SOILS. — it is pro- bable that no species of soil can properly be described as absolutely barren. It is now unpro- ductive, because its owners or cultivators maybe ignorant of the plants adapted to its nature, or of the manures which would call its productiveness into activity. — Soils abounding in metallic impreg- nations, are in general of the sterile class, and among these the refuse of lead mines is one of the most remarkable for sterility, yet even in this soil, which is so peculiarly poisonous to most plants, the arendria verna grows with luxuriance, and it can scarcely be made to live in any other soil. Sir Joseph Banks made an attempt to raise it in bis gardens, but before he could succeed, he was obliged to send to the mines for a quantity of its native lead rubbish, which having been put into a pit made for that purpose, soon became covered with this plant. Covered with the arenaria verna, this patch appeared as fertile as any other part of the baronet's garden, but if the seeds of this plant had been there wanting, the soil would have re- mained incurably barren, and unproductive of auy other known plant.

SIR,— The character which awakes a genera! sentiment as to the fate of al! those nuisances and innovations whkh either time or accident have introduced among us, and the facility and dhpatch with which the most flagrant and rivetted have heen removed— the consideration also and mature enquiry which every subject is likely to receive at our vein Judgmet i Seat, have weighed wilh me to present ( through the medium of your columns) some picture, however faint, of the present State and Condition of the Fishery of the River Severn; whereon I may but express the public opinion when I assert, that the Severn, if it is not the finest and most prized Fish Hirer in the kingdom, is certainty the most abandoned and unprofitable to mankind. Several letters to this effect have from time to time appeared in the Public Papers, several new laws and regulations made, and committees appointed, and yet neither one or other have im- parted any actual and peimanent good; on the olher hand, a relapse or re- action hath constantly ensued, which hath carried away all civil and legislative landmarks, until alteration and improve- ment ou this head are become a by- word and a reproach. But, Sir, that a Fishery is of some import even in a national point of view, I may, perhaps, be allowed to quote the ingenious and classic Walton, who says, page 98, " It is o; served, by the most learned physicians,- that the casting oft of Lent and other fish days hath, doubtless, been a chief cause of those many putrid, shaking, unremit- ting agues unto which this nation of ours is now more subject; and it may be fit to remember, that Moses appointed fish to be the chief diet tor tiie best Commonwealth that ever was:". and the. same useful end enlightened Author adds, page T29, * For what 1 kiiow, the want of otter- killers and tbe not keeping the fence- months will, iu time, prove the destruction of all rivers." But though this noble and manly Angler hath so pertinently and unequivocally foretold what would be, or lather is come to pass, yet hath he not given us any sufficient directions for the management and defence of rivers, & c. from illicit and unlawful arts, though little more is needed than to bed tbe River in certain places with large stones, and nominate a Conservator ( or officer) to superintend, and yearly or half- yearly report thereupon. Having thus pre- sumed lo trespass upon your patience, 1 shall but add, that as the nets and detfees used in Glouces- tershire are destructive of the Salmon in particular, so are the nets and practices in these parts of fish in general; und that the defence of a River inter- nally may be a provision for laws and magistrates externally to act.

THE TBEES. since which the Turkshave heen chiefly employed in - ctfeudius*' their own te> ritorics against ihe Russians. Ali the Turkish provinces are now divided into govern- ments, arbitrarily administered by . Pachas, and the extent of their empire here may be altogether estimated al 10,000,000 of subjects. Turkey in Europe is, iu its largest sense, understood to include ali the Countries between Russia to the • north, and Bucharia to the south, and between the Caspian Sea to ihe west, and Chinese Tartary on the east ; and according lo Pilkington, extends about 870 miles iu length from the northern' boundary of iVlo'davia to Cape jVJatapan in the Morea; and ist breadth from the river Uumrto Constantinople, about 680 British miles, it is computed to contain 182,5d0 square milts, aud takes in its extent many ancient kingdoms and republics, which, since the subjugation of its greater pait in the 15th lentury, after the fall of Constantinople, aud ofthe B> zautine empire, afford only the records of classical names and events*, we need not name as ihe most interesting of these, that ' region above all others dear to the recollections of the scholar, Greece, the great subject of Ihe prest ut con- test between Turkey and the allied powers, aud which has now, at its commencement, been attended with such brilliant results. The first migration < jfTurks wasiti the 6th century, soon after which ihev subdued the people vulgarly called the White Huns, and founded their earliest western government, the capital city of it being for some time called Turkestan. From the centre of this prtiviu. ee issued those Turkish armies which have changed the ' destinies of many nations. The Turks aud Huns may be considered- as one and the same Tartaric race, totally unknown to Europe, until the appearance of the laltt r, who first passed the steppes, deserts, and mountains, which bad concealed them from observation till ihe 4th century. The Huns, who appeared about A I). 375, passed in a course of unifoim depredation, rapidly from Asia to Europe; but the Turks, though originally the- same peopb, separating from the Buns, . made a slow and gradual progress, and appear to have been blended by marriages ami conquests with the Sclavonic and Gothic tribes, on ihe north and east of the Caspian. Such was the origin of tb. e name Tuikestan, and from hence the Turks spread desolation over the most beautiful countries of the east, and even threatened the liberties of Europe. The following is given by PjHung ton as the principal historical epochs of their conquests in the latter: The first dawn of Turkish history preceding the reign ol Gthrnan occurs A D. 1299. In the reign of his successor, Orkau, the Turks took Gallipoli, and penetrated into Thrace, so that Adrianople was taken A. D. 1360 j two years after that Amuraih established ihe military hands termed Janissaries. The Turkish power was for some time restrained afler the famous battle near Aseyra, A. D. 1402, between Bajazet and Timour; nt vlM. thcless, the dominion of the Turks in- creased in Europe, though they received several checks from the Hungarians, under Hamades, and from the Albanians, uuder the famous Scanderbcrg. On the 29th of May, 1453. Constantinople was taken by the Turks. Crimea and the Morea were subjugated A I). 1458, antl in 1480 Otranto, in Italy, was captured by the Turks. The Conquest of Egypt in 1517 made a considerable addition to the Turkish power; Rhoth s submitted in 155: 2; and soon after the bailie of Mohaty, in 1526, the Sultan Kolyman look Buda. In 1552 the Turks seized the Bunnat of Terriesivai, and they took Cyprus from the Venetians in 1571. Although,- after the famous naval engage ment of Lepanto, in this year, their power after ceased to be formidable, they invaded Hungary with various success, yet Europe obtained an interval of security by their wars wilh Persia. However, in 1642, the Sultan Ibrahim took Azof from the Cossacks, and, about the middle of this century, the Turks took pos- session of some Grecian isles— after which their wars were attended with various success. The last epoch of Turkish history would lead to a detail of the Russian wars against Ihe Turks, and the decline of tbe Ottoman empire in Europe. It maybe observed, in general, that the Tin kisb dominion, wherever it has prevailed, has been detrimental, in a very high degree, to tlie best interests of humanity, and to every improvement, mental or moral, ecclesiastical or civil," The appellation Ottoman, or Othman, given to the empire of the Turks, or rather to their Emperors, is from Oihomauuus, or Osman, tbe first Piince of the family, who, to distinguish them from others, gave his people tbe name of Osm. amiis— fiom which, by the changing of the $ into £, we have made Ottoman; which new name soon became formidable to the Greeks of Constantinople, from whom Osman conquered a sufficient extent of territory to found a powerful king dom. He soon bestowed on it that title, by . assuming, in 1300, the dignity of Sultan, which signified abso- lute sovereign. The true era of the Ottoman empire may be dated from the conquests of Persia. The establishment of the Ottomans in Europe took place in 1353. assembled-, lu order to comprehend ibis- inferiority of the priesthood,- we must recollect that the Koran is not a collection of doctrines and examples, left to be incul- cated from the pulpit of ihe preacher : it is a C. ode of laws directed to be propounded and explained from the bench of the judge-, It is not Hie recorded life arid example of the prophet,- to be held up in the. church hy e I oq u c n ce and lea r n i ng ; iiis b i s < 1 ire e t e.<> m m a od", esteemed indeed to be the direct command of God, and ordered to be enforced by temporal punishment.

Their persons are free from injury ; at least, it is a general belief in Turkey that their blood cannot be shed,--- and the horrid punishment of pounding in a mortar, if not altogether fabulous, was hardly ever resorted to. Their sons are always preferred for ad mission into the uiemas, and this body forms a species of aristocracy of solidity apparently sufficient to resist the will of the sultan. The privilege of affixing the holy seal has therefore been compared to that of the French parliament registering the edicts of the Bourbon kings. Iiis true, indeed, that, invested with sanctity, temporal authority, and heretli nry wealth, the uiemas ppear to have all the elements of solid power: but in practice this power has seldom been found to avail them against the will of the sultan. He may exile, imprison, or displace ihem : the mufti himself may be removed by a nod ; and this Mahometan hierarchy and senate have seldom been able to resist the terrors of the crown.

LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH CANAL.— A magni- ; fieent, but in our opinion a very idle scheme, lias been got up in London, for cutting a canal from that cit; y to Portsmouth. The length of the pro- posed Canal is 78 miles, the depth 28 feet, and the expense is. estimated at, four millions sterling. Now, without knowing much about the localities, we are satisfied that the actual expense would be | double the estimated sum, and that the canal would never yield half enough to pay the interest. The Caledonian canal has cost one million sterling; and if we exclude the locks, and reckon only the part cut with the spade, its length is not 22 miles, and the present depth only IS or 17 feet. The labourers were paid Is. 6d. or 2s. per day, and the whole sum expended its the purchase of land was only about £ 50,000. If this canal, then, cost nearly fifty thousand pounds per mile,- what would one cost which is to he twice as deep and four times as long, to be cut through a country where wages are com- paratively high, where a rood of ground is of as much value as 20 acres in the Highlands, and where the work would be burdened at every step with the expense of roads, bridges, drains, with the purchase of streams of water at a great price, and with innumerable compensations to individuals for real or imaginary damages? We venture to say, that such a canal would cost at least ten millions sterling! But suppose the canal cut, would the owners of ships seek a passage to London in this way, at an enormous expense, when they can reach it by the Thames? Two- pence per ton is the lowest rate at which even small canals can be made to remunerate the proprietors. Now, at this rate, an Indiaman of the first class would have to pay £ 1200 for the privilege of shortening- a four months' passage by two or three days ! If mariners with valuable cargoes will not pay one halfpenny per ton for the use of the Caledonian caual, which enables them to escape the storms of the Hebrides and Pent land Xnrth, how will they pay four or six times as much to avoid a smaller danger ? Finally, it would be well for the projectors of this new Work, to recollect that the Caledonian canal docs not produce as- much as pays the expense of The appellation Turk is of very ancient origin, and very comprehensive extent. According to their own tradition, which is supported by other authorities, the name is derived from Turk, oue of the sons of Japhet or Japhis, as they teim him, the son of Noah, and who is generally allowed fo lie the progenitor also of 1 lit Moguls and Tartars. Both the present Turks antl Tartars are supposed to be descended from a branch of the Scythians. Their fiist figure in history is about 630 years before Christ, at which time they drove the Cimmerians from their territories. Turk, Voluey says, is a name nol originally peculiar tothe nation il is now applitd to; bul denoted in general, informer times, all ihe hordes . dispersed to the cast, aud even to the north of the Caspian Sea, as far as beyond lake Anal; tbe same vast countries which have taken from them the denomination of Turkestan. These are the same people who weic known lo the ancient Greeks by the name of Parthiaus, Massageta', aud even of Scythians, for which we have substituted that of Tartars. They formed a nation td shepherds continually wandering like the Bedouin Arabs, ami in every age exhibiting themselves as brave aud formidable warriors. The Arabs, about 80 years after Mahomet, by order of the Caliph Waltd 1. in- vaded the country of the Turks, subdued them, ami imposed upon them their religion. These tribes, allied or at variance, according to their several interests, were perpetually engaged in war. Heuce we see in their history several nations all equally callttl Turks, alternately attacking, destroying, and expelling each other. Volney, in order to avoid this confusion, has confined the name of Tuik to those of Constantinople, and given lhat of Turktstans to their predecessors* Modern Turkey is divided into Turkey in. Asia aud Turkey in Europe.— Turkey iu Asia extends from the shores of the Archipelago to the confines of Persia, through a space o'f about 1050 British milts. The boundaries towards Persia are, the mountains' « - f Ararat and Elwend. Towaids the north, the Tin kisb lei ri- torics are divided from the Russian by the river Cuban and the chain of Caucasus. lu the south ihey extend to the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates, which last riv< r separates for a cousideiahle interval the Turkish possessions from those of the Arabs. The distance of the Cuban to the junction of ihe Tigris and Euphrates may he estimated at about J 100 British miles. This extensive empire is divided in: o nine or ten provinces— viz Natolia w. esl, Kara man south, and Roum north east ; north of Ai mt nia are Gni ia or Gurie'l, Miugialia, aud the Alikhas of Caucasus, the ancient Cireassia. To the south of Armenia, also liebominatul Turctmiauia, are Curdistan, antl Irak Arabi, parts uf ancient Pcrsia rouu « l- the ' Celebrated capital of Bagdad. The ancient Mesopotamia partly corresponds w ith the province of Algeria, and Syria or Stria'comprehends tiie celt brated countries along the eastern extremities of the Meditenanean. These, with' the rest of their empire here, comprehend all the countries w hich are the scene of bciipiure history and man's redt mpiitm.-^ iu fad, nearly all the ancient world j antl were successively conquered by them iu the following order •.•^ Armenia and Georgia were sub- dued in the llth century;' am! the whole of Asia Minor soon followed. Their kingdom of Roum ex- tended from the Euphrates to Constantinople, and from the Black Sea to the. confines of Syria. Successive warlike princes acquired additional terri- tory from live Mamelukes nf Egvp. t and the Persians. Syria, formerly an appendage of Egypt, was conquered by Selirn 11 in 1526. Tauria ami Drahekir, the last of which bad formerly belonged to Feisin, were sub jngated by the same monarch; ami in 1& S9, Abbas, the great sovereign of Persia, was obliged to yield three provinces to the Ottomans, though he extended his conquests to the East ; and Bagdad, with the sur- rounding province of Iraki- Arabi, became subjcct lo the Turks in 1638. The present limits appear to have been fixed between the Porte aud Persia in 1736, A small work has just appeared, said to be from the pen of Lord John Russell, called " An Historical Discourse of the Establishment of the Turks in Europe." It gives a view of the past history and actual state of this remarkable people. The follow- ing are extracts:— GENERAL CHARACTER.— 44 The Turks appear to be distinguished from tlie nations which occupy the. rest of Europe in nearly every circumstance. The ample folds of their garments, their shorn heads covered by a ini ban, their long- beard*,- their stately hearing, form a direct contrast wilh the trim dress and coxcomb fashions of, our Christian communities. Nor is there less differ- ence in substance than in outward appearance. The Turk is moved by few passions, and those few carry him straight to their object : if he is revengeful, he takes away the life . of his enemy ; if he is covetous, he seizes the possessions of those who are weaker I lean he is:; if he is amorous, he bins and shuts up iri his seraglio ihe object of his love, lie has no conception of ihe compli- cated- intrigue, the perpetual bustle, the varying opinions, which attend and influence ihe business of llie in our northern countiies. Still less can be imagine the active society ; the distinctions of rank ; ihe con- versation withoUt any thing to say; all the toss, in short, by which vanity seeks io be remarked, and the love of novelty requires to be gratified. His life is simple, tranquil, dull, we should , say, when not moved by the great passions of our nature. A steady trade- wind carries him lo port, or a calm leaves him motion- less; of the varying stale of our atmosphere, and all iis shifting breezes, he has no adequate concepiion ; he wonders at aud pities onr activity. Whether these dispositions are suited or not to promote the happiness of the individual, may admit of a doubt ; but it is quite evident they are unfavourable to the progress of a nation." THK. fR' RELIGIOUS FATALISM.— u In the days of their growing greatness, it armed them with desperate courage and unconqueiable fortitude. At the moment of an assault, they faced the hottest fire of cannon and musketry, convinced that no ball could reach them unless it had been so destined from eternity : after the must fatal reverse, they comforted themselves with thinking that it was the wili of God, and that no human efforts could have done more. But when the empire had reached its apex, and the arts of peace Were more requisite than those of war, the same doctrine had an opposite effect, and became the most effectual- bar to the progress of the nation : it is a resource for indo- lence, a motive to apathy, an excuse for ignorance. If an unskilful physician kills all his patients, it is the will of God ; if an oppressive governor lajs waste his province, it is Mil) tire will of God. To submit to • injustice, extorii m, aiid tS runny, is a proof of the most sublime piety. To avoid the plague, to provide means for lire preservation of health, to learn new arts, to endeavour, in short, to surmount any of those - dangers aud inconveniences which Providence seems to have placed in our Way as an excitement, to industry, is, iu the belief of a Turk, an impious interference wilh the decrees of the Almighty. Thus, although the Maho- metan religion cannot be held sufficient to account for • the persevering ignbrance'of the Turks, yet it must be allowed to make them contented with tlieir inferiority, and proud of their shame." POWER OF THE SULTAN, AND IIOW FAR LIMITED — 44 In all civil iiiatiers, the Sultan is supreme, tl is held that his will is sufficient to oven urn or set aside, at any moment, any law not established by the Koran, or which does not concern religion : even this limitation is only an opinion of the lawyers. In religious affairs, howerer. in spile of their sacred character, the Sultans seem to have allowed much ol the renl power t<> escape them. 1' he fetva, or holy seal, which \ Viis affixed by ihe caliphs to their acls, is not in the bands of the sultans, but iu those of the uiemas. When ihe sultan wishes lo have Ihe sanction of religion to any act of great importance, lie is obliged to have recourse to this body, and obtain their consent. The clerical aud legal body, denominated tbe ul cinas, consists of three differ- ent classes; the doctors of law, the judges, and the ministers of religion. Of these three, the ministers of religion form the lowest cla- s ; their office requires the fewest years of study, and leads only to places of inferior rank. Indeed, ihe mere duty of ^ performing divine service may he performed by a layman ; and a pasha, or other great officer, appoints any members of Iiis household to the offices of muezzin and imam, to call lo prayers and say them when the people are should be determined upon,, lie will be unconscious of its approach, until the moment when the in- formation and its accomplishment will press too close upon him for either appeal against the sen- tence or reflection upon its awful consequences. must derive from the knowledge that, if his death management, without including one shilling of in. The Bank of England and the Country Bankers. A pamphlet has recently appeared under the above title. It places the question between the Bank and the Country Bankers in a striking, just, and national point of view. Our readers, we presume, will be gratified with a few extracts: 14 It is, I believe, impossible for a monopoly of the Bank of England to sustain the present magnificent height of public credit; or to pieveni it .. from iymeniably falling. For it is impossible, first, for the Bank. of England so to extend its ramification's through the iay. d as lo meet the exigencies of ihe country, or to sup port public credit. And, secondly, weie it possible so to extend itself, the spirit of its system, the proud atid repulsive spirit of monopoly,- is directly opposed to . the spirit of public credit, and tiireeily destructive of the life of free trade. This spirit of monopoly would never con- descend to notice minor capiiaiists— it would never sympathize with that class of men, who, except their honesty, their ingenuiiy, and their indnslrj, have but little capital ; but ihe honesty, ingenuity, and industry of such men, is, as every sound . statesman knows, the best capital of England. These active men, who create 4 ihe wealth of nations,' act not by deputy or agency; but with their own eyes inspect their business, and with t heir own hands la hour iu mannfaciurt s. They forin the links and fill up ( he interval between tlie great capi- talist and the general consumer : they hinder the great capitalist from becoming- a great monopolist, ami pre- serve Ihe general consumer from great extortion. They lower prices ; they iuciease consumption: ihey benefit the revenue; they promote the public good. The s> stem of Ihe Bank of England would proudly overlook litis humble, but most numerous and useful class of men, arid thus would dry up those small innumerable rills, which not only refresh the litile fields, ihrough which they How, but which at length unite, and fo-. m, and fill those majestic streams which fertilize the. whole commercial world. 44 Monopolists flourish exactly in proportion as the rest of the country suffers. Societies of monopolists have neither responsibility nor feeling beyond their own body— that is, beyond their, own privileges and their own interests ; but they can feel acutely enough w hen a dividend i. s diminished, or a privilege is abridged. The Bank of England, acting by stipendiary agents, could have no kindly feelings O'f a neighbourhood in the country. The manager of a branch bank w oil Id be an insulated being, like a consul of hade in a foreign country. His heart and his country would ever be in the Bank of England. Camion, security, profit, would be bis constant watchwt. rds'from Ihe head quarters of monopoly. The tenor of his instructions, and the salary of his place, would cause him to pursue that cautions line o'f conduct which, excluding the shadow of risk and the possibility of loss, while it would please his commanders, would go far to annihilate credit, and ruin the country. 44 But the country banker, besides the kindly feelings of neighbourhood,- has a patriotic interest in the prosper ity of all around him. lie is, therefore, more w illing to assist the agriculturist, who may need assistance in the. improvement of his lands ; to help the manufacturer in some slackness of demand ; and to support a humble but honest tradesman in come sudden emergency. The Branch Banks of the Bank of England, ou the system of monopoly, could not in the above cases afford relief; And without relief the agriculturist must dismiss liis 4 noble peasantry' to idlei les* ihI the poor rates. The niatinfueltlrer must discharge his ingenious workmen, and Iheir families must be reduced ftom urinous com- petence lo want and temptations. The humble Mil holiest liadesnmii, on whose industry the slur of cmlipe- lency was just arising,. ihrouyh smne dm k nti. vfurtu. iie, without anv fault, niiisl fall into lu. peless degradation, and all who depend upon him must participate iit his miserable fall ! Branch banks would never supply the place of country banks; because the connexion bet" ecu branch hanks and the country could never lie so exten- sive, so intimate, and so useful, as between the country and country banks. The extinction, therefore, of the country bankers would be a manifest and irreparable injury to Ihe comfort aud commerce of the country. * * * * * Afler alluding to the encouragement afforded by Mr. Pill to Country Iluukiu^, aud the confidence repused terest; and yet it had, as the London canal doubt, less v. ill have, estimates by engineers, in which flattering prospects of a larg- e remuneration were held out.

LATE BISHOP or WINCHESTER.— Dr. Tomline TRADE WITH THE ME'DITERRANEAN.— In consequence of the alarming and increasing de predations committed by Greek pirates in the Mediterranean and Levant,- a meeting of mer- chants, ship- owners, and others connected with fhe trade to Turkey, Egypt, & c. was held at John's Coffee- house,- Cornhill, on the 6th inst. when it was determined to appoint a committee to draw up a memorial to be presented to his Majesty's Govern- ment, respecting the grievances, and the necessity for some immediate measures being taken to sup- press the pirates, and afford more efficient protection; the committee was also authorised to act in furtherance of the views of the meeting, in such a way as in their discretion they should judge to be for the best. The committee ac- cordingly prepared a representation to Lord Viscount Goderieh, with a list of the piracies committed lYpon Britis'h ships. Tiie interview was promptly granted, and a deputation from the com- mittee accordingly waited upon Lord Goderich, with whom were Mr. Grant, and Mr. Huskissott. The whole subject was fully discussed, and it was stated by Lord Goderich tbat the evil of which the frade complained had not been overlooked by his Majesty's Government, but that some measures had already been taken to put down the pirates ; and that the magnitude of the depredations, as well as the difficulties which King's ships found in rooting out the freebooters, would require more prompt measures for bringing them to justice when taken, aiicf more active means to be used by the Greek Government to remove all further cause for complaint. Lord Goderieh assured tbe deputation, tbat the particular attention of government would be occupied in adopting some immediate remedies for the grievances to which the trade was sub- jected. The accounts received on Tuesday from New South Wales state, that every acre of ground on the banks ofthe Hunter is now located, from Newcastle to the fountain head ; the Goulburn branch alone remaining undisposed of. Ten thousand head of cattle had already marched to the fertile country called Liverpool Plains. Though outside the line at present allowed to the settlers, numbers of the old hands on Hunter's river had begun to move off in that direction, under an expectation that per- mission would soon be given to them for that purpose. Port Macquarrie, it was understood, would be given up to free settlers, as soon as arrangements could be made for receiving- the prisonersat Moreton Bay. This step was expected to give much satisfaction to those emigrants who had been disappointed in not obtaining land, ac- cording to their expectations, at Hunter's River.

N. it is said, are about taking grants of land in New South Wales, antl turning their attention to the growth of fine wool, by means of their agents, who are at present looking out for laud toward Batetnan Bay. — Australian. IMPROVEMENT AT BOTANY BAY.— The tread- mill, at Sidney, has lately been stopped for want of " hands," or, as we ought to say, for want of " feet." The irtorality of the " grinders" seems, from this circumstance, to have improved much of late. It requires thirty persons to " work the mill," and yesterday the accumulation cf delinquents amounted only to twenty. — Ibid. June 8.

Aiy Irish murder, it Seems, is the very poetry of as- sassination— disinterested, eloquent, and imagina- tive; an English murder is an affair of business, ffi thing in which the pocket shares far more con- siderably than the genius. " English murder,*'' adds Mr. Shiel, " makes the heart sic':, Irish mur- der makes the hair stand on end." CANT! CANT!!

There George was distinguished as a good classical scholar and mathematician. In 1772 he came nut senior wrangler, aud being elected a fellow in 1781, he served ihe office of moderator. By good fortune Mr, William Pitt was sent to tbat college, and Mr. Pretty man was selected lo be bis tutor. Ou the pupil being ap- pointed Chancellor of the Exchequer, be chose bis former tutor lo be his secretary, a place for which bis great talents admirably qualified him. In 1787 Dr. Prcttvman was appointed Bishop of Lincolu, soon after Dean of Si. Paul's ; and, in 1820, was translated to Ihe See of Winchester, the second Bishopric, in point of emolument, in Ihe kingdom. A few years ago, a person lo whom he was almost unknown left bint a very handsome fortune, on condition of bis taking the name of Tomline, which was of coutse complied with. His Lordship was the author of " A Refutation of the Charge of Calvinism against the Chinch of England," and au " Introduction to the Study ofthe Bible." He also published a Life of his pupil, which, however, is said nol to be distin- guished by that peculiarity of information lie was qualified to introduce, and which the public expected. Henry Lewis and Rd. Cooke, the Stewards of a Friendly Society at Frogn. ill, were held to bail last week, to appear at the next Session to answer to a bill of indictment for a misdemeanor, in not obeying an order of the Magistrates of Cheltenham for re- admitting a Member who had been unjustly ex- pelled. PURGATORY.—" If a man will ride bis hobby, it is right he should pay for it."

T. W. Dixon, lale a Roman Catholic Priest.— The Commissioners asked him— " W hat were tbe general heads of emolument you had in that parish?—( Kilmore- Erris.)— I got at Christmas Is. 3d. and I think at Easter Is. 3d. from each head of a family — from the young people for their confessions on those occasions, more or less— from females a hank of yarn— from young men five. pence. " What did you get for each baptism?— 3s. 4d. " What did you receive for each marriage?—£ 1. 5s.—( balf- a- guinea deducted for the Bishop.) " Had you any olher sources of income?— Yes; for anointing the people there is a charge of a shilling— it w as 13d. then.... I have been called, I dare say, five hundred times to discharge that duty in a year I have frequently been in ihe habit of attending and anointing five people in the same family. It is tbe invariable custom to take the fee. " Is there any other head of emolument?— Fune- rals ; Masses for tlie dead. " Do you mean that a Roman Catholic Clergyman is paid for attending- the funeral?— He is paid for saying Mass; he is paid for every person who dies, a legacy of half- a guinea, IN ORDER TO PRAY HIM OUT OF PURGATORY!!— WE charges lialf- a- guinea for every person that dies, the surviving relations of whom must pay it, * * * with the exception of infants; for all who attain the years when mortal sin may be imputed, the Priest charges half- a- guinea to the surviving relatives. " Have you ever received more than half- a- gttinea for saying Mass ?— I have often received a guinea. The charge of half- a guinea is not for saying Mass. It is a legacy chargeable upon Ihe surviving relatives, in order that the Priest might use his private influence to have the soul of the dead person taken out of Purgatory."

" No, much obleetclied to you, Mr. Parsley," said the agreeable and accomplished Widow Rooney, pointing to a bowl of vvhipt cream that stood in the middle ofthe table, " 1 think I'll just try a bit of that thing- that looks so like suds." PROFITABLE EMPLOYMENT OF THE POOR — Mr. Port man, M. P. for the count y of Dorset, is taking effectual mentis lo improve the condition of Ihe peasantry in those parishes in which he has properly. Some lime since, Mr. Chambers, Ihe lale banker, purchased ihe estate of Cheltle, in Dorsetshire, border- ing on Ciatibourne Chase, and adopted there a mode of ploughing w hich was deemed by the farmers of that part of the country most unfit for the thin chalky soil which abounds Ihere. By Ihe use of the trench plough, a new soil which had never before been ex- posed lo the air, was turned up, and the ordinary sur- face buried. The land so treated has since produced crops far exceeding iu quantity and quality thai which liie soil yielded on fhe old plan. Mr. Portman has since improved on the principle, ami is using Ihe spade instead of ihe plough, by which mode of trench- ing, a number of labourers are employed at 9d. a perch, £ ii an acre, in trench. digging a large quantity of furze land belonging lo his estates. Laud, befoie deemed unprofitable, is thus reudeted highly productive, and work provided for Ihe poor, for whteil they are faiilv recompensed. If every landowner in the kingdom were to adopt Ihe same plan, or to allow a dtductiun from his tenant's rem in proportion to the additional expenditure thus occasioned, it would prove an effectual means of destroying Ihe habit of pauperism, and thus prevent ibe conversion of our peasantry into a specics of slave. As large crops of flax are com moiily produced on virgin soil, if about twenty acres of land in every parish were thus cultivated, employ- ment may be found iu the winter season for women and children in Ihe succeeding year as well as for ihe men at present. ADULTERATION OF WINE AND SPIRITS — The public are indebted lo the author of a lillle work which has just appeared under the title of Wine and. Spirit Adulterators unmasked; in which are set forth the various tricks played with wines and spirits, especially such as are offered al " cheap prices." The woik contains positive proofs that the stuff palmed upon Ihe public for foreign wine aud foreign spirits, al priccs below Ihe original cost and duly, must necessarily be spurious. The author details minutely the whole process by which vapid spirit may, by the help of capsicum, cherry- laurel water, extract from almond cake, & c. be converted inlo fine full- proof brandy ; and the art of transmuting Bene- carlo or Figuera into old Port, hy the aid of salt of tartar, gum dragon, berry dye, and brandy cowe, leaving a profit of from £ 20 lo £ 30 a pipe! Even gin, cheap gin, patronized by the lower orders for its supposed genuineness as an article of British manu- facture, is distinguished from the rest by Ihe poison- ous nature of tiie ingredie- nls which compose it.
