r ~~ I' I Journal - a • a Tour in Asia Minor, with comparative Be : marks on the Ancient and Modern Geography Country. By WILL. MARTIN LICAILE, F.R.S. of that 4c. Bvo. The tour which serves as the basis for the present voluthe was made in the year 1800. Ac the cauntry described has undergone no chaiige, and our previous accounts of it are very defective, the work is not ren dered the less interesting by the delay. On the con trary, it has probably received improvement, Colonel Leake having been at much pains to collect whatever useful information he could from the volumes of pre vious travellers; to whom he renders due justice in his preface. The difficulties in the way of travelling in that coon try .are many. On this subject the author remarks that —" In Asia Minot, among the impediments to a tra veller's success, may be especially teckoned the deserted state of the country, which often puts the common necessaries and-conveniences of travelling out of his reach ; the continual dispute> and wilts among the per sons in power ; the precatious authotity of the Govern- • ment of Constantinop:e, which tendering its protection ineffectnal, makes the traveller's success depend upon the personal character of the G:rvernor of each disttict ; and the ignorance aad the suspicious temper of the 'folks, who have no idea of scientific travelling ; who cannot imagine any other motive for our visits to that country, than a pi elm:aims for hostile invasion, or a search after ti easui es among the tit as of . antiqeity, and whose saspici.ins of this nave are 4.1 coarse most st: ong in the p: ovinces which, like Asia lltnor, are the least frequented by us. It the tiaverier's prudence in tinsel fOrtune should obviate all these difficoities, and samod protect him ft om plague, banditti, and other perils of a semilotrbarous state of society, he has still to dread the loss of health, arising fr urn the combined effects of ebonite, fatie tie, and privation ; width seldom fails to check his corer before he has completed his pr: jeered tour. Asia Minor is still in that state in w hich a disguised dress, an assumption of the medical charac ter, gi eat patience and perseverance, the sacs ifice of all Earopean comforts, and the concealment of pecuniary means, are necessary to enable the traveller thoroughly to iavestigate the country, when othet wise qualified for the task by literary and scientific attainment-, and by . an intimate knoa ledge of the language and manners of 'the people.' It typears, hawever, that the natives—that is such of them as can afford the expense, perform their ow journeys in a manner not a little luxurious. Take the following as an instance: " We met a Mollah travelling in a Taktrevan,loung ing upon soft cushions, smoking his Narghile, and ac companied by si lenclidly.dressed attendants on horse back. Ilis baggaoc horses were loaded with mattresses and coverings for his sofas ; with valises containing his clothes; a large assortment of pipes ; tables of copper, cauldrons, saucepan;, and a complete batterie de cuisine. Such a mode of travelling is undoubtedly very different from that which was in use among the Turks of Osman, and 0 khan. The articles of the Mollah's baggage ate, piohably, for the most part, of (seek origin, adopted from the conquered nation in the same manner as the Latin, borrowed the art, of the Greeks of a better age. In fact, it is in a great degree to Greek luxuries, with the addition of cotr.m and tobacco, that the present im becile condition of there bat barians is to be ascrii;ed ; and ' Geaceja capta ferum victorem cepit,' applies as well to the Task a; it once did to the Roman; for though Gre,:ian nrt in its perfection may be degraded by a comparison with the arts of the Byzantine Greeks, yet, in the scale of civilization, the Tin ks did not bear a higher proportion to these than the Romans said to the ancient Gteeks." Colanel Leake's descriptions of the towns and locali ties of Asia Minor are very fall, as are also his illustra tions of aacient geo i o :Thy ; but for the s e we must refer our Readers to the wee k itself, assuring them that they will find in it or( at variety and extent of research, with numeroas quotations and references which cannot fail to prose acceptable to c!as,ical rea.'ers. The King and Queen of the SANDWICH ISLANDS paid II visit on Saturday to the Royal Military Asylum. Their Majesties were attended by Sir WILLOUGHBY ConnoN, and appeared much delighted with the esta blishment, the nature of which was explained to them by the interpreter. Their Majesties were received by the full band, playing God roue the King, and were highly gratified with the skill of the juvenile musicians. The band consists of all the usual instruments. The se nior pet former is not snore than fourteen, and the youngest seven years old. It is, indeed, a scene of no ordinary gratification to witness the healthy appear ance and happy looks of a thousand of our gallant Sol diers children, who are generously protected by their country, and destined probably at some future day to evince their gratitude by fighting her battles. After having seen the children at dinner, their Majesties wit nessed the various gymnastic exercises, for the intro duction of which we are indebted to captain CLIAS, and which are so admirably adapted tq invigorate the frame, and in particular to form expett and able sea men. Their Majesties afterwards breakfasted with Sir WILLOUGHBY GORDON : and were saluted at their de parture by the hearty cheers of the youthful regiment, which was drawn up before them. DEATH OF THE SICILIAN DWARF.—We are sorry to announce the sudden demise of this most intereAing child. She had been for some time afflicted with a cough, and the untoward changes in the weather, durila eeve ral days of last week, had a vi-ible effect on the general state of her health. Thursday last she was exhibited as usual, and received upwards of two bundled visitors; towards the evening a languor appeared to come over her, and on her way from the exhi'eltion-room she ex pired. Miss Cracharni, the name by which she was known, was the daughter of a musician ; she was born at Palermo, in Sicily, and on account of her diminutive site was considered, a phenomenon. The Duchess of Parma, and a few dktinguished persons, were allowed to see her, but she was not exhibited until she was brought to England, in the latier ei:Li of last sum mer, since which she has been exhibited at Oxford, Bit mingliam,. and Liverpool, and of late in London, and was undoubtedly the most curious of all the dwarti,h can didates for public favour that ever visited this tnetropolis. Monday night, or early on Tuesday morning, the house of Captain Brenton, lt.N. N 0.4, Patk-lane, was broken into by some daring villains, and a large quan tity of wearing apparel and some articles of plate car ried nway. mil ',I CI*. -- t,. 6 ---- -- ifr , INLAND NAVIGATION. Yesterday a Meeting was held at the London Tavern, to take into consideration a plan for making a Canal between the English and the British' Channel, in order to avoid the dangerous navigation round the Land's End, especially in winter. Sir T. LETnsatoott took the Chair, and sheaved that the measure would be a great national benefit. Mr. POLLOCK explained the great advantages that would be derived by the subscribers. A Gentleman asked the amount of the proposed toll on the canal ?—Mr. Pot..Loox said, one penny per mile, per ton, which would be three shillings per ton for the whole distance. He added that the average loss of lives in going round the Land's End, was estimated at 80 per annum ; and in the last three years there had been a loss of property to above 300,0001. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE said, that the loss of lives was estimated at '2OO per annum. The Resolutions for entering on the undertaking, were all agreed to unanimously, and the Meeting dispersed. A letter from Buenos Ayres of the 12th of March states, that an American vessel had arrived there in 56 days from Gibraltar, having on board two Portuguese Officers, bearing duplicates of dispatches transmitted by a Portuguese ship from Lisbon. These dispatches aie siid to have been addressed to the Commander of the Portuguese troops ;11 Monte Video, desiring him to remain in that place until further orders should arrive from Pottngal. By a crmvention with General Lecor, ' the Braziian CommAnder, the place had however been surrendered to the troops; and the Portuguese troops, which under that cnnvention had ernba: the Gth of March, had already proceeded down the liver as far as Maldonado, whither the dispatches Weic sent, but with what result did not transpire. Whatever may have been the ultimate views of those who trans mitted the order from Portrigal to dehy tl.e departurc of the troops from Monte Video, it is evident that the measure now ceases to be of any political importance, as mine enlightened views are well knoxii, since it was issued, to have found their way into the Portu guese Cabinet. ELOPEMENT EXTaAORDIVARY.—The n r csinWreandl Gazelle says—" Wednesday last a spi ightly youngster of ' 75 eloped from the sweet and peaceful vale of Grasmt re with a blooming aaci blushing maid of 25. So anxious was the ardent lover for the success of his hymeneal expedition, that in spite of rheumatism s catarrh, and all the other ills %%Inch fle,h is heir to,' he actually walked to Ambleside (no little feat for a bridegroom 01 his years), and ordered a chaise to be ready when called for. He then returned to his fair intended rib, who kindly accompanied him back on his legs of love to Arnbleside, where a friend was prevaileci on to accom pany the loving fugitives to the matrimonial anvil at Gretna Green. A chaise and four having been obtained, the joyous trio set off' for Scotland as fast as the wheels of love could carry them, amid the congratulations of some hundreds of admiring spectators. The course of true love never did run smooth ; but their's has been more than usually rough. Perhaps few people have encountered mole disappointments than these two have in their endeavours to be made one. The banns of mar riage were forbidden on the econd publication, by the trustee; of the young man's property. - Then every obstacle was thrown in the way of the lovers' happiness which the glorious uncertainty of the law could invent. The banns were again publa,hed, but no Clergyman could be found to tie the knot ; and the happy consum mation was delayed from day to day, till the patience of the Grasmere Szreplion was completely exhausted and he resolved upon the pet ilous expedient of a journey to Gretna Green. At Annan, however, we believe the happy couple were joined in one, till death them shall part ; and they have returned to their friends, safe cheerful, and married." 'filE LATE WM. LARGSLEY, BEAR WARD.—This un- fortuoate individual, who was so dreadfully mangled by his own bear, had been carried to the - Infirmary, Sheffield, and expired on Tuesday last. The follow ing is an account of the evidence taken on view of the body : George Elam, of Sheffield, sworn.—l know the deceased ; I have known him upwards of five years.. I was with him on Thursday last. The deceased was a bear ward. About ten o'clock in the evening on that day, I accompanied the deceased to his house, in the Park. We took his bear out of a stable into a field, to let him roll and clean himself. We had not been in the field more than ten minutes, when the bear attacked the keeper. Deceased did not beat or abuse the bear in my presence. The bear was loosely muzzled : his mouth was three pints extended. The deceased had neither a dog nor weapon. After the bear had rolled himself on the grass, and rayed f i r some time, de ceased began to play with him. The bear laid his head on deceased's thigh, and appeared in good temper, and perfectly quiet. Deceased got up, and cracked his fin gers at the bear, and he followed him, and appeared very tiiendly with him. The bear attempted to run away, and the deceased followed him, and laid hold of the rope, which was fastened to the noose, and tried to stop him. The bear struck the deceased over the hand with his left paw, and, finding himself fastened, he reared up, and got both his feet round deceased's body, pressed him . down, and laid himself upon him. I was not more than three yards from them at the time. The bear laid hold of decease left arm with his teeth, and appeared to he tearing him in pieces. I attempted every means in my power to get the bear off the man, but I was not able to do so, for, the moment I at tempted, the bear endeavoured to get hold of me. I went for assistance, an brought a dog belonging to the deceased. I was not more than ten minutes absent, and on my return I found the deceased in the same si tuation in which 1 left him. The dog, on hearing his master's voice, ran to him, and the bear then left de ceased. His right arm was very much lacerated; the ;eft side and thigh were also very much bruised. The bear was shot on the same night. The deceased was taken to the Infirmary, in a deplorable state, where he languished until Tuesday last, and expired. Verdict— " Died in con,elnence of the lacerations, bruises, and v,i)imds, received front the bear." An inquisition was yesterday evening taken at the Queen's Head, St. Martin's-le-Grand, on the body of ' Thomas Reardon, who it appeared was on Monday em ployed in digging the foundation of the New Post Office. At watering time, having no money to spend, he laid himself down in the excavation made, where he had not lain long before the bank of earth under which he was lying fell upon and buried him. Several of his fel low-lAbourers, who witnessed the accident, immediately commenced digging for the body, which when found was quite dead.—Verdict Accidental Death." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE Wednesday week application was made by the Agents of a coun try banking-house of high respectability for a warrant to apprehend a person who was supposed to have negotiated a forged bill of ex change for the sum of 6491. 10s. The necessary measures were taken, and the suspected individual was apprehended, and brought privately before the Loan Maroa at the Mansion-House, where he underwent an examination, from which it was ascertained that the banking-house had been defrauded of upwards of 10,0001. The charge, however, against the prisoner was groundless, the second partner in the firm being the person wile arranged the plan, and gave to the execution of it all the facilities which his situation as a partner afrirded. The contriver of the scheme exercised a good deal of ingenuity in getting hold of the cash, but was defeated in his view of obtaining double the-a ount of what he is now possessed tl i of, by his unwillingness to allow is auxiliary any share of the plun der. At the lodgings of the chit criminal were found some boxes, but they contained nothing but some old books and papers, of no utility to the owner's creditors. We understand that a temporary run was made upon the banking-house, in consequence of the re port that the runaway had possessed hiinsulf of a vast sum ; but the public fears were dissipated completely in a day or two, when it was generally known that the fraud was comparahvely insignificant. The Loan AlAron, finding that there was no evidence to prove that the prisoner bad forged any name, and that, on the contrary. the banker bed santtioned, authorised, and directed the whole chain of operation, oly:erved, that be saw nothing in the transaction, scan dalous and abominable as it was, of which he could take cognizance. The prisoner was therefore set at large. The banker is, it is con jectured, st4:l in this country; and, we believe, it is in contempla tion to strike the docket immediately against him; after that any person who shall dare to harbour him, ur connive at his departure, will be subject to severe punishment. MAR LBOROUG 11-STREET. The Earl of Ilarbarough, and his friend, a Mr. Fallow, were both taken to St. George's watch house on Friday night last, upon a charge of breaking a lamp, and creating a tint and disturb ance in the street, but not having appeared at this tiflice the next morning to the recognizance: , , Mr. I)vxa the Magistrate allowed time until yesterday, for Mr. Gibbs their bail to produce them, and they accordingly attended. The watchman stated their charge, but could not say which of the parties br..kc the lamp, end that part of the accusation was dis L‘l ; Isla they having sworn that Lord llarborough was intoxi cated, iilthouo his Laordship positively denied being so, he was fined and Ins tricod Mr. Fallow was discharged without any fine.

A COUNTRYMAN IN LONDoN.—LhiI Frothy was brought tip in cus- tody to answer the complaint of Thomas Wood.—Thomai, or as he called himitlf, Tiertimas Wou,l, is an honest peasant front So mitt setsbire ; anti John Fcarby, the priinii:!r, is the persi,n who was once known among pugilists as " the Young Ruffian ;" but who is now a tall, stooping, meagre, asthmatic, old man—with much more of the wily knave than the ruffian in his composition. Turn mas Wood, it appears, came to town the other day, and whilst yawning at the weneers of the windows on Ludgate-hill, he dropt in wi' a gentleman" who asked hint where he came from? " Ronk Zummerzetshire," replied Tummas. " And where are you going to?" was the next v..ry natural question ; to which question Turn. mas very naturally re p lied , " I be gwain to the waggin office, to get change for a Bath note." 46 Oh! twine along with me," said tMe gentleman, " a. - .d I'll take you to a better place than a waggon office to get your note changed." Tummas went along with him, and as they passed through Fleet-market they met our antiquated Young IZ;iiiian—or the tall, Unifier old g entleman, as Tuinmas called him. Tumnias's new friend athtreased the old Young Ruffian as an old friend whom he had no; seen for a long time, and, after the first salutation was over, the old You::g Ruffian told Turn mas's new friend that he had been at law lately, and had " got the trick,"—" and therefore," added he, " I will treat you poor fel lews." This said, they adjourned to a public-house; and there, over a pot of Whitbread's entire, the old Young Ruffian renewed the subject of his success in law. The cati,x, he said, was tried at Gloucester, and he and his first cousin had got 4:400 each by it. Ihit,"he added," my cousin, in coming up to town, had the bad luck to break the small hone of Mil leg." Upon this the two gen tlemen gut into a warm argument, Tummas's new friend contend- I big that a man's breaking the small bone of his leg was not bail luck, and the old Young Ruffian contending that it was. And upon this curious argument Tummaes new friend preyailed upon honest Tumwas to stake all he was worth in the world !—viz. his watch and hi; Bath note. The old Yet,l.4 Ruffian, too, was made the stakeholder ; but it did not appt.,;r bow the bet was to be deci ded, and after havin; kJ Tontines about frosts public-house to pub licimuse, under pretence of treating him with some beef-steaks, they ho:11 gave hint the slip. Somebody, however, recommended Tionmal to apply at this office, and, in consequence, Bond, the officer, took the old Young Ruffian into custody—his person and prefes-ion being very well known to the Police. In his defence, he said he had won the watch and money fairly;, but the Alagistrate was of a different opinion, and committed him to take his trial for the fraud. Iknsiei notes and ,Zrainin I've, the former coachman, and the latter footman to Lord %lulgrave, were charged with assaulting Bal lard and Schofield, officers of this ett.ibli,:mient, iii the execution of their duty. These officers had been_ placed at the house of the Earl of Lime _ rick, in Mansfield -street, ;Manchester-square, to preserv.• the peace and superintend the regulation of the earriag..s in coming to and going from his Lordship's house. On the party retiring, great con. fusion was oreated. Lady Mulgrave s coach was called for, and though there were a nullifier of coaches neater the door than this, the coachman drove out of his rank, and insisted upon getting up to the door. Schofield expostulated with him, and begged that he would keep his rank. Ballard interfered to put back the horses, when the coachman and footman abused them both, and the latter struck Schofield over the shoulders, and the pole of the carriage struck him violently on the neck, knocked his hat off, and hurt hint severely. The coachman, in his defence, admitted that he did go out of his rank, hut that he was induced to do so front the repeated calls for the evict', her ladyship being waiting at the door for it. The loot:Inn said he was induced to strike the officer in his own defence, from the rude manlier in which he was putting back the horses.—llere her Ladyship's butler came forward, and said he had been directed by her Ladyship to express to the Magistrate her regret at what bad occurred, and to say that any apology that he re quired should be made by her servants. Mr. DrEit said that there was no person entertained a higher re spect for Lord and Lady Mulgrave then he did; but as to apology on the present occasion, it was entirely out of the question : a most gross assault had been committed on the officers. The misconduct . _ of servants upon occasions of this kind was very loudly complained of. It was quite notorious, that at the late Levee the injury and de struction of the carriages was principally attributable to the mis conduct of servants. lie should require the prisoners to give bail, themselves in £2O each, and two sureties in £2O each, fur their ap pearance at the Sessions. ACCIDENTS AT GREENWICII FAIR.—The practice 9f running down the liolyday hill, as it is called, on Tues day, gave rise to the two following accidents mid dle-aged female, of the name of Margeson, and who is' a resident at Greenwich, in running down fell with great force, and struck her head against the root of a tree, which projected above the surface of the ground. She was removed to a surgeon's in a senseless state, her head and forehead being cut open in a most fearful manlier, her right eye also much injured, and her face covered with gore. Another female, late in the after noon, in running down the same bill, fell and broke her leg, and was removed on a shutter to a surgeon's, from whence, after the setting of the leg, she was con veyed to town in a caravan. A COMMA NDMENT.—The evening before a battle, an officer came to ask Marshal Toiras for permission to go and see his father, who was at the point of death, , 4 Go," said the General, who saw through the pretext ; 44 thou shalt honour thy father - and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the eatth." SADLER'S BALLOON. • CIDIST/CR, JUNR a. Mr. Sadler's ascent from Chester took plac* yesters. day. A most respectable Committee, at the head of' which was the Mayor, assisted Mr Sadle r i n hi s aro rangementi: During the day the crowd s that fl, cked round the Hall, and the continual arrival of car. riages, horses, &c. made it necessary to station seve, ral parties of the 53d outside, the band of which Regi. ment attended, and played several pieces of music during the day. The ascent was fixed for two o'clock, hut owing to an altercation between the Committee and Mr. Sadler (who at one time declared his intentio n ri ,, t to ascend at all),.it was delayed until past six, when ti's majestic machine entered the bottndlecs space ct air in the most'grand and beautiful sty le. The set eni:y ( - t h e evening occasioned his being in sight for n:arly three quarters of an hour, and prevented his going any di ; . tance, as he descended safely near Tat por!ey. PUBLIC SALES.
