SIR—I think you. ,may judge it acceptable to the Public to have some particulars of my late voyage in a steam boat through the inland Canals to and from. Manchester to Lohdon, as the subject is likely to be. come very interesting to Canal proprietors ; and I feel very confident that if the invention is judiciously adopted, and spiritedly encouraged by the managers of canals, that in a very few years canal property will be enhanced a hundred per cent. wherever increased speed, certainty, and great saving of expense of tracking, can obtain more trade. The objections to steam boats on canals has hitherto been the projections of the wheels, the injury done to' the sides and bottom of the canal by the agitation of the water from the blow given to it by the paddles, and by the paddles occasionally striking and destroying what is called the puddling. In my boat these are ob viated, by having the paddles near the stern, within the line of the bottom anal sides of the boat, and completely enclosed both under and at the sides of the paddles with a plate of sheet iron, which not only prevents any possible agitation of the water from the paddles, but also protects the wheels from being injured by coming in contact with the bottom or sides of the canal, by striking against the locks or bridges, or by being struck in passing (a very frequent occurrence) by the other boats in the canal. That my steam boat would cause less injury to the sides of the canal than even any other boat displaking the same quantity of water, and propelled with equal rapidity, I expected, because the principal injury to canals arises from the wave which follows the boat to fill up the hollow it leaves, and the paddles of my boat drawing a quantity of water from considerably before them, and discharging it behind, fills up that hollow. The water, in fact, behind my boat, instead of being in one following wave, is all broken, and makes 15 to 20 small waves. In going to Manchester, my steam boat went from 2i to 3 miles per hour, and in r.turning from 3 to 4 miles, and I am confident might be propelled from 4 to 5 miles per hour, without causing so great a wave as another boat going half a mile slower. This would be a rate quite sufficient to induce pas sengers to adopt that mbde of conveyance, especially to mechanics and their families going from one manu facturing town to another. But it would soon be not alone the industrious and saving portion of the com munity who would travel by the canals, because these pass through beautiful parts of the country, where no roads do, and would therefore be adopted in the summer by parties for pleasure, if canal steam boats were once properly fitted up for passengers, and at all times by invalid s, and those that were not in a burry. I estimate the saving of expense as follows s a ten horse steam engine, placed in one long narrow boat, and occupying with the other machinery not one-third of the measurement tonnage, carrying passengers and light goods, and towing another boat at the rate of font miles per hour, would not consume more than one cwt. of coals per hour, which, where ants are cheap, as is usually the case on canals, would not be more than 1-Bth to 1-10th of the present cost. The same number, of men as ale at present employed, would be du fficient to manage both boats and machinery. If the steam boat is to go alone, the expense of propelling would be about one-third of the present cost. In all the wide canals both boats could go into the locks together, and I thus lose no time in passing them. In this manner the trade might be carried on from London to Coventry or Atherstone, as in all that long distance there are only three locks where the two boats could not pass together. I sin, Tour obedient bumble servant, DAVID GORDON. FROM THE SPANISH. Your love Is like the gnats, John, That hum at close of day; That sting and leave a sear behind, Then sing. and Ay away. Sunday Dr.BLOOMIPIILD, the newly appointed Bishop of London, preached his farewell sermon to the parishioners of St. Botolph, Bishopspte, of which his Lordship has been for the last nine years the Rector. He was welcomed on his entrance, and greeted on his departure, with a peal of the church bells, sa d re ceived in every other respect as the Bishop of London. The Duke of NMC A STU' has removed from Rams gate for nutmeat House, Broadstairs. Dispatches from the Cape of Good Hope, dated 2d Almost, and from Lord STUART De floutsav dated on Saturday, have also been received, but they do not con tain any news of im portance. Dispatches have been received at the Foreign and Colonial Offices, and at the Admiralty, from Mr. STKATTOUR Can ute% at Nayarit:. They confirm the account of the evacuation of the blorea by lawriss PAOLI. In consequence of a breeze blowing into the Moray Firth, on Thursday week, the water rose five feet higher than the average of spring tides, and the river Ness overflowed its banks. Sixty sheep that were grazing in a field that was overflowed, at tempted to cross to the other side, but owing to the force of the current, forty-seven were carried out to sea and drowned. • THE ADELPHI TH BETEL—The May Queen, and Sampson the Serjeant, together with the aid of .The Scapegrace, Wantrd a Partner, and the whimsical burietts called Aka-street, itdelphi, have drawn crowded audiences to this delightful Theatre, every evening during the past week. Caleb Pipkin, a tinker, in the May Queen, as acted by Mecums is one of his must successful kits; and the great variety introduced by him into his song of the “ Humours of a Country Fair," produces a constant encore. Mary Rower, as performed by Mrs. Yarns, in the same piece. is a genuine picture of rural simplicity. The Serjeant Sampans of T. P. Coons IS in bis best manner. _ Thursday, a new Chapel of Ease to the parisb Church of St. Matthew, Bethnal green, was consecrated by the Right Reverend the Lo rd Bishop of London, who afterwards de livered a very impressive discourse, appropriate to the occasion. The building has been erected on the green, at the casters end of the road. It is a neat structure of brick, with stone facings and steeple. STAMP Doan.—Saturday se'nnight, Mr. William Garbutt, of Yarm ' attorney.at.law, was committed to York Castle, at the instance of the Commissioners of Stamps, by the Reverend Joust BANIVSTES and JAMES PAVELL, Rsq. Magistrates for the North Riding, on a charge of felony, for having caused an inden. tore of apprenticeship to be written upon a stamp which had ken previously used for a similar purpose. Dispatches dated the 10th instant have been received from our Charge d'Affairs at Madrid. On the 27th, ileth, and 29th Uhill3o, the amount of new cases of fever at Gibraltar was 100, and the deaths between 16 and 17 a day. On the 2d instant the number of fresh cases were 106, and the deaths 14 a day. There remained at that period 691 in the hospitals. The Spanish Authorities behaved with the greatest humanity, permitting ne. leessarles to be conveyed into the fortress without paying any duty. Accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to the 3d of August have been received. The Government Autho rities had issued the following Bulletin on the Slst of July : " COLONIAL Orrtcs , Can Tows, JULY 51.—Advices have bees received from Major DONDAS, dated the 21st instant, which state that CNALZ .

The work people on the Castlehill have, within these few days cut into a subterraneous gallery. It appears I to ascend from the Grassmarket, and to terminate within a few yards of the half-moon battery, which it was probably the intention of some besieging army to un dermine. The breadth is from two to three feet, as is usual at present in galleries constructed for purposes of this kind, and it is probable the height may be about five feet, although it is considerably less near the upper extremity, owing to the work people having allowed the earth to roll into it. Although excavated in earth and rubbish that has been evidently thrown from a bigher part of the hill, it seems to have undergone little change since it was formed. - ARBROATH.—The following is a statement of the exports of the staple articles at this place from 6th July to 10th October, 1828: Linen.

Saturday a General Meeting was called of the Mem bers of the Surrey Auxiliary Anti-Slavery Society, for the purpose of submitting to their notice a Petition to both Houses of Parliament, that had been drawn up by the Committee. The Meeting was held at the Spread Eagle Inn, Epsom, and at a little after one o'clock. JOARPH WILSON, E.q. was unanimously called to the Chair. The Meeting chiefly consisted of Ladies, and was highly respectable. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the Meeting, said it was now for a long time that they had been struggling to procure the emancipation of the slaves, and hitherto, unfortunately, they had been unsuccessful. He trusted, however, that, by the blessing of GOD, the time was fast approaching when slavery would be abolished, and when their efforts to get rid of so foul a blot to England would prove victorious—(Hear, hear!) Mr. Goss reminded the Meeting. that they had met last year for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for the adoption of immediate steps to abolish slavery in the West Indies. That Petition had unfortunately proved unsuccessful ; but this want of success, instead of damp ing their zeal, ought to be the means of urging them again to prepare a Petition, and again to present it to ' Parliament. Mr. POWNALL took that opportunity of urging the meeting to continue in the course they had already pur sued. Unless they persevered, as Christians and as men, to call the attention of the Parliament and the public to the subject, nothing would be done. They had not met on that occasion to propose any new system of measures, they had not met to originate any novel ex periments, or to try how freshly introduced ideas might he brought to bear : neither had they met to petition Parliament to mitigate the condition of the slaves: it was not, as it was once, to mitigation and amelioration that they were looking, though no one could be hap pier than they should be to hear that such an event was likely to take place —no, it was not for any of these purposes that they had assembled on the present occa• sion : they bad met to ask Parliament for the abolition of slavery, and not for its mere mitigation—to ask it to lay the axe to the root, and to destroy the whole system of inhumanity from beginning to end. In 1792, Mr. Dundas, who was the apologist of the planters, said, " Only leave things as they are at present ; only give the planters till January, 1800, and thenceforth every individual born in the West Indies shall be free .7 Un less they came back to the first principle of eternal and. immutable justice, they might continue discussing the question year after year, but eternity would arrive be fore alteration took place—(Applause). He was glad, theiefore, that the Anti. Slavery Society had quitted its former narrow ground of mitigation, and now came to the broad principle of insisting on entire emancipa tion—(Applause). All the resolutions were agreed to. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting separated. The Palace at Richmond, though the prison of Queen ELIZABaTH during thereign of her sister Many, strange to say, became during her own reign her favourite re sidence. and the place where she both lived and died. A packet lately arrived in this port from New York with 87,478 dollars on board, and as almost all the vessels on that station return laden with specie, politi cians look upon the fact as a proof that very little business has been transacted in any port of the Union during the year.—Havre Paper. ELopialater.—An event of this kind has recently occurred in this vicinity, which has plunged an honour able and worthy individual into a state of the deepest distress. On Tuesday last, Mrs. W—, wife of T. W—, Esq. a Gentleman of great respectability and fortune, and a Magistrate, in the temporary absence of her husband, who was engaged in his public duties at our County Sessions, eloped from their residence at Cheltenham, in a carriage and four, accompanied by Mr. B—t, a friend of Mr. W.'s, and who took this method of requiting a long continued series of hospi table attention ! The agony of the injured husband may be better conceived than described, especially as, during a union of fifteen years, the most devoted attachment on his part seemed to be reciprocally felt on that of his wife. The connections of the gallant are resident in London.--Gloucester Journal. _ _ A singular circumstance lately occurred at the Goose pool, Herefordshire, without parallci, we believe, in the memories of our oldest sporting friends. A hen be longing to a person there made ber nest in a wheat field, and in due time brought home a brood of chickens, one of which puzzled all the knowledge of ornithology of her owner, who, however, was unfortunately in duced, owing to the singular noise the bird made at night, to destroy it, but not before it had ken nicer , rained that the strange chick was a landrail ; and doubt less an egg of that remarkably shy bird had been de posited in the nest of the hen which had batched. aid probably would have reared it, if permitted to have done so. .—Bath Herald. A meeting took place on Friday last, between RICHARD Pimarts, Esq. of Park•street, a West Indian,• descendant of one of the ancient settlers in the island, and Captain HUTCHINSON, late of the 47th Regiment, attended by Hzsconz, Esq. surgeon, and Major HORNSR, the friend of Captain HUTCHINSON. The rendezvous was at Gloucester-gate. Regent's-park, from whence they proceeded to Chalk Farm; but several stragglers observing them, they deployed, and after a tedious march found a convenient spot on Hampstead heath, near the ponds. Here the ground was measured, and the distance taken of 12 paces: the combatants pulled off their coats. The word being given by Major Hoanza" Gentlemen, present-6re, —the ball of Captain HUTCHINSON brushed the hat of Mr. PETERS, who, aiming low. no mischief ensued, when the seconds interposed and affected a reconciliation.
