State of the Trade of Great Britain tvifh all parts of Me World. By C/ESAR MOREAU, Vice-Consul of France, and Member of several Learned Institutions. This statistical chart, which is beautifully printed on a large sheet of paper, is the homage of a liberal and enlightened foreigner-to the mercantile glory of Great Britain. It exhibits a view of the past and present state of the trade between Great Britain and all parts of the world, in its imports and exports, from the year 1697, when the total of our imports and exports to gether were only seven millions, to the year 1823, when they amounted to more than ninety-six millions. The chart classes the commerce under the respective coun tries with which it has been carried on, and notices the periods of war and peace—the tonnage, prices of stock, &c. The work is one of immense labour, and presents the state of the trade of Great Britain with all' parts of the world, encompassing, in a bird's eye view, what has appeared on the subject during the last 125 years; and presenting the result of the parliamentary and other official returns up to the period of publication. It is an extraordinary work, and whoever wishes to form an ac curate judgment of the real situation of the trade of this country, should read with attention the publication before us, in which he will find no declamatory rant, no fulsome flattering, no speculations, no abstract rea soning, but solid calculations, just inferences, and in cogtrovertible facts. It ought to be translated into all foreign languages, and circulated throughout all parts of the world. The Report of the Committee of the Legislature of Dominica, appointed to enquire into and report on certain Queries relative to the Condition, Treatment, Rights, and Privileges of Me Negro Population of that Island. June, 1823. According to this Report the condition of the Negroes has much improved, and is daily improving ; that their wants and comforts in health and sickness are carefully attended to; that punishments are proportioned to of fences, and have greatly decreased ; that they enjoy the benefits of religious instruction, possess the means of acquiring property and freedom; and the Commit tee feel no hesitation in saying that the generality of the Negroes are happy and contented, and will so re main if their minds are not excited and inflamed by the delusive hopes of emancipation. ..:, \ ..n • ‘,' ..

A German Journalist, in translating an article lately from an English Paper, announced that a certain Eng lish Nobleman amused himself eery morning before breakfast by killing a number of peasants on his estate, upon which fact he entered into a long diatribe against the cruelty of the English Nobility. The British Am bassador complained of the calumny to the Magistrates; the Editor was cited before them, and produced his au thoritt, by chewing the Paper from which he had made his extract, when his crime proved to originate from his ignorance of the English language, and the following day he made an amendchonorable, by inserting in his Paper an erratum, for peasants read pheasants.—La Pandore. RUSSIAN LITERATURE. It would appear, from a list recently made out, that literature in Russia bas made rather a remarkable progress since 1817, at which time the number of Russian literary productions did not exceed 4,000. At present there are In the library of the Academy of Petersburgh 8,000 Russian works. The city of Mos cow has nine public reading-rooms, and ten printing presses. Pe. tersburgb seven reading-toomkand fifteen presses. Wilna, one read ing room and five presses. Reza!, and the Universities of Dorpat and Cherson, have each a reading-room and a preis. IMPERMEABILITY OF GLASS TO WATER UNDER HIGH PRESSURE It was lately maintained by Mr. Deuchar, in a paper in the Philosophical Magazine, vol. lz. p. 810, that from the porous nature of certain siliceous bodies, it was ex tremely probable that the fluids in minerals had been forced through their mass by pressure, and that the water which is found in well stopped bottles, when sank to great depths in the ocean, has been forced through the pores of the glass. The Rev. Mr. Campbell, in a voyage to South Africa, carried out with him two crystal globular bot tles hermetically sealed, and made on purpose by Messrs. Pellatt and Green, St. Paul's Church-yard. In lat. 14° 27' N. and to the W. of the Cape de Verd Islands, they were sunk from on board the Westmor land, to a depth of 200 fathoms, or 1200 feet, by means of two leads, the one of 22 and the other of 281bs. When the rope was brought up, by the exertion of ten men for a quarter of an hour, the two globular bottler were found empty. A wine-bottle sent down at the same time, corked and plastered over with rosin, came up full of water, with the cork inverted; five other bottles were full of water, but the corks and rosin of these were in the same state as when let down. Another wine bottle had the pitch remilning entire on its mouth ; but the inside was nearly full of water, in which also the cork was swimming. The water in the inside of the bottles was not more fresh than before its entrance, Campbell's Second Journey in Africa, vol. ii. p. 883, quoted in Phil. Mag. OCCULTATION OF THE PLANET HERSCHELL. In the evening of Friday next, the 6th instant, the planet Herschel' will immerge on the east side of the moon, at 2 min. 45 sec. after ten: the planet will re main obscured till 14 min. 45 sec. after eleven, when it will emerge on the western side. At the immersion, the planet will be 9-I min. and at the emersion, 4i min. north of the moon's centre. The moon will have passed the meridian of Greenwich about ten minutes previous to the occultation. Tuesday night last, at Carmarthen, the corpse of a young girl was laid out in a shroud, &c. and a pewter plate was placed on its breast, on which was placed a lighted candle. The relatives of the deceased retired to rest, when the shroud took fire, the plate was melted, and the corpse most shockingly burnt. In the parish church of W —m, the custom of col lecting the contributions for the poor by ladles still prevails. On the occasion of the sacramental fast, last week, an Elder, to save himself the trouble of climbing to the gallery, handed up his ladle to the front seat, where a young lady, in the absence of the gentle men of the family, took it and made a liberal collection. At the telling of the amount, the Kirk Session were delighted to see a note among the babeee, but guess their astonishment when, with much difficulty, they made out, not pay the bearer one pound, but the following lines written in pencil : Elders henceforth give up your post, Ye but affright us with your sable : See bow Charity, cold as frost, Melts when Vie) , takes the ladle ! - CLARE ASSIZES. Mr. Francis Hynes, a person of some property In this county, was indicted for the murder of a poor man named Raferty, a heckler of flax, at Kilfenora, by strik ing him on the head with a metal weight, of which he languished from the 18th of February to the 11th March. Daniel Raferty, father to the deceased, stated, that he and his son were at the prisoner's house, working there as hacklers. The prisoner entered the room where they were, and without speaking struck the deceased with something which the witness could not swear to, and knocked him down. Witness was himself knocked down twice by the prisoner. His son was never well since that. Cross-examined.—The deceased worked, or had the name of working, three days after. These was a dis pute between witness and Mrs. Hynes on the day in question, she having said that the flax was not well dressed, and the hacklers insisting that it was. Mr. W. Cannon, in behalf of the defence, said, that he was at the prisoner's house on the night in question ; he was with the prisoner in his parlour ; on hearing a noise up stairs, and finding that it continued, the pri soner went up and turned the hacklers out. He was not in a great passion when he returned. He took no weapon with him.—The Jury acquitted the prisoner. , Terence O'Laughlin, a strolling beggar, was indicted for the wilful murder of Mrs. Ellen Stackpoole, the late wife of a Gentleman in this county, by having, by threats and violence, frightened her to death, on the 25th day of March last. Mr. WOULYE, for the prosecution, said, that before he went into the evidence, he was induced to trouble the Court with a few observations, because the case was one of a very novel nature. Mrs. Ellen Stackpoole, the deceased Lady, was a person of delicate frame and of very nervous affections—she was particularly appre hensive of fever—and he was instructed to say that the 'prisoner at the bar, knowing her apprehensive and fear fal disposition, took advantage of the absence of Mr. Stackpoole, her husband, and suddenly and violently rushed into her presence demanding money. Mrs. Stackpoole became instantly alarmed ; she attempted to run up stairs, the prisoner pursued her ; she then ran out of her house, the prisoner followed her, seized her by the hand, and said that he had not the fever himself, but that the rags he had upon him belonged to a man who died of the fever, and he (the prisoner) got them out of the house in which that person had died. The singular and disorderly appearance of the prisoner, the violence of his conduct, and the nature of his remarks, might have affected a woman of a much stronger frame of mind than that of the deceased. Upon her, unfor tunately, it had the most fatal effect: she immediately took to her bed, and in twelve hours after she was a corpse. The Learned Gentleman concluded by saying, that he would not press the murder, but he thought it a clear case of manslaughter. Mary D'Arcy—Knows the prisoner, saw him on the 25th of March last at the house of her master, Mr. Matthias Stackpoole; witness knew the deceased; when the prisoner entered the house there was no other person there but witness and the deceased; witness saw the prisoner attempt to lay hold of her ; witness interfered, but the prisoner put her away ; the deceased went three or four steps out of the kitchen; she then ran into a field; the prisoner followed her, laid hold of her, and demanded money. A man at the time happened to be passing, the deceased called for his assistance; the de ceased was terrified; she attempted, in her terror, to run through a wall ; the prisoner called to her, and said that he had not the fever, but that the rags he had on he got at a house where the fever had been. Mrs. Stackpoole was greatly alarmed. Witness knows that it was well and generally understood in the neighbour. hood that Mrs. Stackpoole was particularly fearful of the fever. When the man came to the assistance of the deceased, the prisoner went away. The deceased said to witness, that she felt her heart breaking within her —that life was about to drop from her; she sat down trembling by the fire ; she took to her bed, and died the same night; before that time she was not ill, she was about the house as usual. The next witness was a woman who had nursed the deceased.—She said she left Mrs. Stackpoole the morn ing of the 25th of March last, at her own house : when she left her she was safe and sound : in the evening she was sent for, and the deceased told witness how she was frightened by the prisoner ; she said that he was the cause of her death. She added, that she was aware she was dying : in the middle of the night she became very agitated and oppressed; she said her death was ap proaching; she died about three o'clock in the morning of the 26th. Shortly before her death she said to wit ness that the prisoner had broken her heart. Mrs. Stack poole was of a delicate frame and mind ; she was par ticularly apprehensive of fever : that was known to every pet son about the country in her neighbourhood. Thomas Cross was passing the house of the husband of the deceased on the 25th of March last ; the deceased was in a field opposite the house; she called for his as sistance; she attempted to run through a wall; when witness came up, the prisoner walked smartly away. Here the case closed for the Crown. The prisoner being called on for his defence, addressed the Court in the Irish language, and in a manner the most vehement, declared that he never intended to injure the Lady, and that he merely asked for charity.—The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner appeared to be a man of about fifty years of age ; his body was but iat pe: fectly covered with wretched rags ; his countenance had a degree of wild expression; his whole appearance was eats emely gro tesque. The vehement manner of his address ; the force of his language; the impressive appropriate action of his hands, and the varied tones of a deep and mellow voice,gaveaveryfavourables men of rustic eloquence, Yesterday, an Inquest was held at the sign of the Crown, Drummond-street, Hampstead-road, on the body of a female infant, about ten weeks old. On Monday night last, a watchman observed two women in a field, examining a bundle : on proceeding towards them, he discovered that they had found the body of the deceased, who appeared to have been strangled, and immersed for some time in the water. The women ap peared to be very much affected at the appearance of the child, and the witness was confident from their de meanour and conduct, that they were not the persons who had exposed the deceased. They accompanied him to St. Pancras watch-house, where he deposited the ' child for the Inquest. Mr. W;nter, a surgeon, examined the body, which was at the time in a state of putridity ; he could not perceive any marks of violence; the de ceased must have been ten days old. Verdict-44 That the deceased was found dead; supposed to have come to her death by unfair means." Tuesday, Mr. William Hayes, of Broadway, St. Tho. mas's, a respectable tradesman, dropped down on leav ing his own door, and instantly expired. r CAPE OP GOOD HOPZI The population of Cape Town, according to Beton. in Ja nuary last, is u below; but, including new settlers not enumerated, it is thought not to fall short of 20,000; White inhabitants - - 9,848 Free blacks - - - '1,870 Apprentices (or prize slaves) - 956 Hottentots - - - 5199. Eaves - - - 7,076 18,868 The number of wine farms in the Cape district, and in Stellen bosch district, and their produce, is as follows. We have turned the Cape measures into English, estimating the leaguers at 150 gal lons each.

The quantity of wine brought Into Cape Town was, in 1806, 1807, and 1808, about 4,009 leaguers on an average; and in 1820, 1821, and 1822, about 11,000 leaguers, or 1,650,000 gallons, and the quantity exported in each of the thr ee years last mentioned, was about 5,500 leaguers, or one half. Of the 376 wine farms in the two districts, fifty-seven have 100,000 vine stocks or upwards, 165 have 50,000 or upwards, and 154 have 20,000 or upwards. We may infer from the statements, that on an average each ten vine stocks produce about a gallon of wine, besides a quantity of brandy.—Seolstnon. THUNDER STORM AT QUEBEC. Extract of a letter from an Officer at Quebec, to his friend in Nottingham, dated June 13, 1824: " On the 9th we had a violent storm of thunder and lightning, and I was driven for shelter into a door-way in the market-place. After remaining some time, a dreadful explosion forced me back into a shop, and nearly threw me down; a horse was struck dead on the pavement close to where I stood , and I distinctly saw the lightning strike the four conductors of the Catholic Seminary. I ran immediately to the Jesuits' Barracks, close by, as from the movement amongst the soldiers at the gate, I thought all was not right. My fears were too well founded ! The lightning had struck the barracks in four different places, broken the windows, torn up the floors, knocked down one of the large chimnies, and done other injury to the building : two of our men and a child were killed, and many thrown down. Of those who were killed, one was a bugler of the company I command : he was in fhe act of lighting his pipe at one of the barrack-room fires ' when the electric matter descending down the chimney, struck himdead on the spot, and rendered five of his companions insensible. The other sufferer bad his child in his arms, and the lightning entering one of the windows, killed them also instantaneously. The heart-rending cries of this man's af fectionate wife were distressing beyond description, and no force could restrain her from entering the room, where the surgeons were making vain efforts to restore the vital spark, by opening the jugu lar vein in her husband and child. Having hastily viewed those parts of the Jesuits' Barracks which had suffered from the electric matter, [ hastened home to my quarters in the Officers' Barracks, which, you know, are in St. Louis-street, and some distance from the Jesuits, for the purpose of changing my wet clothes. The next rooms to mine were occupied by my friend and constant companion, Ensign Cogan, who joined us only last fall, and from his excellent temper, and being a well-educated young man, of good Scotch family, bad become a very great favourite, not only in the corps, but also in the first families in Quebec, by whom he was particularly noticed last winter. After changing my wet clothes, and the storm continuing with great violence, I sought for society in the company of my neighbour Cogan ; but picture to yourself, if possible, my horror and astonishment, when, on entering his room, I beheld my poor friend extended lifeless on the floor in a most ap palling attitude, a livid, blackened corpse. lie had entered only a few minutes before, and taken off his wet coat and waistcoat; and being a great admirer of lightning (which we had frequently heard him assert), was standing at the window in his shirt, viewing, no doubt, with admiration, the awful and sublime scene without, when the electric matter being attracted by the upper belt of the window, passed from thence into the right breast, and descended through the right leg into dui-floor, ftom whence it found a ready. conductor in the stove-pipe of the room beneath. There was a dreadful smell of sulphur and other burnt matter in the room, the windows being closed, and my poor friend presented one of the most horiid spectacles you can possibly imagine : his hair and eye brows were burnt, the right breast much spotted and disfigured, the face (whiclr a few minutes before I had seen lighted up with the smiles of good nature) was now livid and bloated, and presented a strange contrast to the colour of his hands, which resembled white wax. On examining the body, it appeared the electric matter had discoloured the right leg, and burnt the shoe. The attitude, as I before said, had something in it peculiarly appalling ; he had fallen backwards, and with his feet close to the window, his face upwards, and his arms extended, the whole scene was at once presented to my view as I entered the room, amidst the most violent contentions of the elements without, and the brilliant and constant flashes of lightning which gleamed over his face. Never, while I live, shall I forget the horror of that m o m e n t ! W e rea d of such things in novels and elsewhere, and shudder at the bare idea; but here it was presented to me in dreadful reality, with every accumulation of horror. I quitted the house, with a determination never to re ' enter my rooms, and for a few days have been living with Colonel Mao—. However, to close my sad eventful story, it became ne cessary to commit the bodies of these poor sufferers to their last homes, with as little delay as possible, as corruption immediately. commences its destructive operations in cases of this nature; in is hours after they were borne to the grave. I was one of poor Co gan's pall-bearers. The funeral was conducted with great ceremony, all the garrison attending; and at the Church door we were met by the bodies of the poor men and child killed in the Jesuits' Barracks. The first part of the funeral service being performed in the Church they there joined, and formed a part of out procession to the burial ground (nearly a mile distant, in the suburb of St. Roche). A sad and melancholy sight it was, to behold the coffins of four poor crea tures, who only a few hours previous had been in full health and vigour. Not a dry eye was to be seen ; the Catholic population crossed themselves with fear and trembling as we passed through the crowded streets, and the very musicians partook of the mourn ful depression with which all appeared to be affected. We have this morning had an affecting and eloquent discourse on the e ven t, from our R ev. Chaplain, Dr. Mills, who was with ourjlivision in the Peninsula : indeed, at one time, the feelings of the worthy Di vine were so overcome, that be was unable to proceed. Poor Cogan and myself had dinedwith him the day previous mais sad nrroarrynew" SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.-At an obscure house in a court in Piccadilly, appropriated for the purposes of an anatomical school, a poor woman occupies the ground floor, who actually deals in muscles, her husband is a bone-merchant, and over the door is a board with this inscription—Mangling done here! . At the Assizes for the county of Lincoln, on Monday, Robert Burton, and Mary Burton, bis wife, stood in dicted for stealing, in the dwelling-house of Joseph Cheetham, of Louth, victualler, on the 21st of July last, one brown Holland purse, containing 39 sovereigns, three half-sovereigns, one guinea, and a quantity of 51. notes. —The wife of the prosecutor said that her husband kept a public-house at Louth. The property in ques tion was kept in a box under the bed. On this particu lar day prosecutor and his wife went out, leaving the box quite safe; but on their return in the evening, it was found broken open, and cleared of its contents. The fe male prisoner in the meantime had been seen going out of the house. They were afterwards traced to a shop in the town offering the larger money to change. Subse quently, upon their apprehension, the purse was con veyed away to a younger sister of the female prisoner, i who bid it in a garden. The husband was not impli cated until after the robbery, and the indictment did not charge him with receiving the stolen money.—The Jury found the wife Guilty—Death; and acquitted the husband. POLVE.INTELLIGENCE.. BOW4TREJIT, iiioday evening last a person, who stated his n a m e to be 48,„ ifiratioilk, was brongbt to this Office, charged by Mr. J o e, IrNay, of 41, Warwlek-street, Golden-square, with stealing frees hisn a waistcoat, a pair of trowsers, and two pair of silk stockings, It appeared that the parties had met at Paris, and that Mr. Mu ne , vine represented himself to be the son of Sir Alexander Me n - ay. Being in distress, Mr. Mt Nally assisted him, and paid his expenses to this country. On their arrival Mr. Manneville requested M r , 111 4 Nally to call on his father at his house, in a pardadar street, which he mentioned, and to endeavour to settle some di ff erences which he said existed between them, and procure a reconciliation. Mr. M`Nally went as directed, but could find no Sir Alexa n d er ' Murray, and on his return he found that the prisoner bad decanl with part of his wardrobe, together with a balance of cash, which remained in his hands, and with:which Mr. Witially had entrusted him to pay their travelling expenses. He lost sight of hint till 0 c evening in question when be met him in Regent-str eet , securd him, and brought hint to this Office. Mr. Manneville entered into a long statement of his connections with Mr. M`Nally, in Paris, the major part of which Mr. M4Nalle, said was false ; and with respect to the clothes, he ssid they w e i r lent to him by Mr. hPNally. This Mr. hl‘Nally denied, and the prisoner was remanded, upon an understanding that there wss a Lady from Cambridge, now in London, whom he bad robbed of £3O, and who would come forward against him. The prisoner was again brought up for examination yesterday, when a Lady attended, and stated, that she became acquainted with the prisoner in the packet, going from England to France; that he insinuated himself into her confidence, and that having a bill of £3O to discharge at Calais, she intrusted him with that sum to pay the bill, but she bad subsequently discovered that he had applied the money to his own use. This, however, was net all, far he bad circulated reports at Paris highly prejudicial to her moral charac ter, informing the people there, that she ran away from England with him, and that her husband followed them with loaded pistols, determined on the destruction of both, but they were teo quick for him; with a dozen other ridiculous and absurd additions to the principal slander. All this.she declared was wholly untrue. She did not wish, however, to prefer any charge against him that would oblige her to become his public accuser. Mr. HALLS said, that if she had no wish to prosecute, it was not necessary she should state her case ; but even if she were, he ap. prehended, as the offence had been committed in France, he could not take cognizance of it. The Lady then retired, and a pawnbroker having produced part of the articles stolen from Mr. which the prisoner had pledged with him, the prisoner was committed for trial. UNION-HALL A man named Mills, who acts in the double capacity of a elms. stable and a broker, was charged by a Naval Officer with having unlawfully seized a trunk, containing property to the same of nearly £2O. The complainant stated, that on his return to Rag land from a foreign station, be took , up his abode at the house of a Mrs. Smith, of White Horse-street, Lambeth, in whose house also resided a female, with whom be formed an intimate acquaimauct, ,aud defriyed the whole of the charges for their joint expense. Ou Monday last, the defendant abruptly entered his apartments, and, describing himself as a broker, demanded a debt of £ll. 101. which he said was due by the female lodger to Mrs. Smith; but as he knew he had abundantly supplied the young Lady with the means of liquidating all claims upon him, be cautioned Mills against making any seizure of his property, and distinctly pointed out whica it was. Mills, however, proceeded to make an inventory of all the articles which were in his crank, and placed a guard over them a prevent their removal. The complainant further added, that he fully believed the-defendant and Mrs. Smith were acting in coll.t. sion together to defraud him of his property ; and he therefore re quested that the Magistrate would interfere to prevent his being so unjustly and shamefully plundered of his trunk and its contents. Mrs. Smith said, that as the Naval Gentleman and the young 'Lady resided together ( she considered she had a right to make the -seizure to recover her demand. Mr. A LUIZ said, that it was a scandalous attempt to rob the Gen tleman of his property, in which she was assisted by a fellow in the triple capacity of a broker, brothel-keeper, and constable; and if the property was not instantly restored to him, he would commit them both to prison for an attempt to commit a felocy. Mrs. Smith and Mills promised instant compliance with the or der of the Magistrate, and the parties withdrew from the °l ice. A RI.BOROUg H-STR E RT. Yesterday C.Stevens and J.Bovrest were charged by Messrs. Richard son and Co. linen-drapers, Nos. 78 and 111, Oxford -street, the for mer with the robbery of Irish linens and other articles In theit trade, to the mown of over £3,000, and the latter as a receiver. John James Richardson, one of the par tners in the house, sta red, that the prisoner Stephens was a stopman in their employ fpr these seven months past, at a certain salary ; that his department *was to deliver goods to orders, mentioning to the clerk what he took out, and on his return was to account for them. Mr. Richardson said, he first entertained suspicion of the prisoner on Saturday last, at. 4 questioned him about goods which he entered as sold to lioweu, who is a saddler, and lives at 24, Jermyn-street, St. James's-sneer- He asked him if the goods were sold at a loss? he said not. He then asked if at a profit ? to which the prisoner hesitated to reply, and at length said, it was no use to conceal matters longer, and confessed that he had sold the bulk of the property taken from the shop to Mr. Bowen, which he entered in fictitious names in the day-book. He (the prisoner) said, he believed that the last quan tity of goods taken out were still at Mr. Bowen'S, having seen them there that morning. Upon which Mr. Richardson sent fur Ballard, one of the officers of this establishment, and gave the p awner in custody to him. Evidence having been given to shew how part of the goods is question had been disposed of by Bowen, Mr. Haman, who attended as Solicitor for Messrs. Richardson and Co. beggecithat Mr. Dyer, the Sitting Magistrate, would re mand the case for a week, as its great importance required the most thorough investigation. Mr. Dram intntediately consented, and the prisoners were re manded to this day week. BIRTH. July 22, the wife of the Rev.. Edward Irving, of the Caledonian Chapel, London, of a son.

On the 22d ult. at Bahnuto, the Hon. Cl4ud Irvine Boswell. Lord Bohnuto. Suddenly, in his carriage, at Great Canford, near Poole, on Thursday, the of July, Thomas M acnamara Russell, l?mq. Admiral of the White. In recording the death of this ve teran Officer, who had attained hip eighty-4th year, it may be useful to the profession in which he held so exalted a station, and must be satisfactory to his friends, to have it known that this Gentleman had reached the highest rank in the Navy entirely by his own merit, without the aid of interest or the protection of patronage; and that, after serving nineteen years as a Midshipman, he was advanced, in 1779, to be Lieutenant ; to be Commander in 1780 ; to Captain in 1781 • to Rear-Admiral in 1801 • to Vice- Admiral in 1805 ; and las t ly, to the rank o f Ad m ii a l in 1812; The services by which Admiral Russell obtained. this rapid ad• vancement, were at once brilliant and active—of a nature to elicit the energies and resources of an ardent spirit and an enterprising mind ; and they have not been entirely unrecorded. As a flag officer, he was for some time Commander-in-Odef on the North-sea Station. His blockade of the Texel, during the period of the threatened inn don of our shores, was admirable, and was planned and executed by himself. His system of anchoring, during the strongest gales, on the enemy's coast with sometimes three cables on end, was rewarded by the most complete success. During the neap tides, the line-of.battle ships for the most part rendezvoused at North Yarmouth, by which a saving to his country, in wear and tear, and probable loss of ships, was effected to a n i mmense amount. Indeed, while the blockade of the Texel was th e most efficient ever known, and was conducted with all the rigidness of a state of bitter war fare, it was marked by instances of the most refined and ge nerous humanity, which not only procured the respect and esteem of the Dutch Admiral, Elrheiturt, his Officers and men, but was highly useful and beesildal to the crews of our own vessels subse quently wrecked VIM that coast. After this imperfect memoir, it is scarcely necessary to say, that the late Admiral Russell was all Officer of considerable talent. To the qualities of a thorough-bred English seaman, with the science of an able naval tactician, be possessed the nicest and highest sense of honour, with the nonusers and urbanity of a courtier. He was brave, generous, and humane: such a rare combination of high and admirable qualities will ensure his name being enrolled with the illustrious Naval heroes of his time.
