PITY. If aught of Heaven to Earth adheres. And blesseth Maas degenerate years, 'Tis Pity ! feeling soft and kind, The blighted gem of virtue's mind; The clearest star width twinkles there • Immortal and divinely fair! Oh! kind was Paounsacs to leave A sympathy for those who grieve ; A soother to the man of woe, The poor, the humble, and the low. 'Tis lovely as the coming morrow, After a night of sleepless sorrow ; 'Tis radiant as the brigbt run's dawn ; Nfis gentle as the summer morn' Whenc'er I see the bright tear stealieg Down Beauty's cheek, for others' woe, Methinks $t is an Angel dealing Her softest attribute below; For %is a jewel chaste and fair, It u not of an earthly leaven. It •ereeth for the Angel's prayer; _ . .. Yes! 'Us the language spoke in Ileaven. As the sun's ray so clear Gilds all that it shines on, So sympathy's soft tear Gilds the cheek it Inclines on! TORQUAY REUATTA. A vast assemblage of the admirers of aquatic sports were here on Friday last, though not so numerous as was anticipated, which may be easily accounted for, as throughout Thursday, and up to Friday noon, it blew a strong easterly breeze, accompanied by a heavy surf, which prevented the yachts arriving from Plymouth, Dartmouth, and other ports to the westward. It was feared no sailing would take place ; however, by the exertions of Captain Dillon, the steward, a good match was made between some pleasure boats of this place and Paiagton, and at twelve o'clock fourteen of them sailed from the appointed station. Much skill and sea -1 an:hip was displayed ; in going round the buoys, the Belle Sauvage (of Torquay) soon took the lead, and kept it in a most gallant style throughout the well•con tested trial of nautical skill, and won by a considerable distance. This prize was an elegant chased Grecian goblet. Theo was an excellent dinner at ?oaken's Hotel, who, as usual, gave every luxury of the season, and the attendance was of the best. In the evening a ball under the patronage of the Hon. Lady Dashwood, and Geo. Carey, Esq. was most bril liantly attended by all the beauty and fashion of the environs. Quadrille dancingwas kept up with spirit to a late hour. Among the company were— Sir Henry Carew. Sir Charles Dashwood, General Merrick, Col. Henderson, Joseph Garrey, Esq. and Mr.. Gamow. Wm. Pollard. Esq. Mrs. Pollard, Miss Simmons, Edward Kitson, Esq. George Fisher, Esq. Miss Fisher, Mrs. George Carry. Miss Ireland. Miss O'Farrell, Miss Frankland, Rev. H. Bradridge, Peter Bradridge, .q. Rev. Thomas Kitson. W. Kitson, Esq. Captain Ayscoegb and Mrs. Ayscough, Captain Gore, It. N. and Mrs. Gore. Rev. F. Bel field. N. Hole, Esq. Henry Studdy, Esq. and Misses Studdy. J. Shepherd, Esq. J. P. Shepherd, jun. Esq. Captain Dobles, R.N. and Mrs. Dobles, Lieut. Si. John, R.N. Captain Dobles, Captain Devon, R.N. and Mrs. Devon, &c. The first prize was a cup and cover elegantly embossed, and quite apFropriate to the purpose; around it is Nei,- tune in his car, drawn by sea-horses, and accompanied by tritons, the whole beautifully chased and relieved with sea wt eds and shells. The cover a groupe of shells and sea weed, surrounded by a single shell. At, a meeting of the Steward and Committee, it wad determined that the remainder of the cups should not be sailed for until nett summer, Id hen it is hoped that favourable winds will admit of a more numerous arrival of yachts, and spirited competitors for the splendid cups. Soon after Mohammed, the present Pacha of Egypt, -had acquired that dignity, a woman declared herself possessed of a spirit, which not only spoke but gave its hand to be kised in the dark, and such was her repu tation, that all Cairo, the army, and the Officers, became proselytes, and firmly believed in her supernatural powers. Mohammed, who well knew the danger that might arise from an ignorant and misguided multitude, determined to find out the secret of this woman's magic. Tor this purpose he hired four of the most skilful jug glen to endeavour to entice her before him, but the crowd attending her performances would not permit her to go. He then ordered the Aga of the Police to seize and bring her to the Palace, in which with some difficulty he succeeded. The Lady said the spirit only spoke by night. " Very well," replied Mohammed," we will wait.' When the time came, the Pacha and the magician withdrew into a dark chamber, the spirit be gan by calling on the name of Sheikh Ally, and having answered several questions offered its hand for the Pacha to kiss ; he told it to approach a little nearer, lord having felt the fingers of a human being, he made a sudden seizure of the whole hand, holding it firmly and calling for lights, which discovered the Pacha grasping the hand of the ventriloquist (for she WAS noti.ing mote), who began to scream for mercy.— Ncrearnmed, however, deemed it right to punish the impostor, and ordered her to be drowned in the Nile. The chiefs and the multitude :hewed a disposition to oppose this order ; but the Pacha told them that if she was possessed of a spirit, it would save her from drown• ing, aed if not she would only fulfil her destiny ; ac cord:r.gly she was thrown into the river, and suffered the usual fate of witches when thus treated. The following key has been supplied to the late blus teritg report of the U orgiana Ilnuse of Representatives *wriest tie Geteral Government of the United States: The State of Georgia and the Creek nation of Indians mutually claim certain lands in, or in the neighbour hood of Georgia. Of these the Georgians have long sought to possess themselves; but as the Government of the United States have undertaken to protect the Lrdians frOM injustice, they will not allow the States of Georgia to acquire those lands otherwise than by ami cable negotiation. A shoot time since a cession of the disputed territory was made to the State of Georgia by Mclntosh' one of the chiefs, in consequence of w h ich the other Chi efs of the Creek Indians assembled together. and (as they urge) according to their custom under such circumstances, put him to death for executing such in strument without the assent previously obtained, of the majority of the Chiefs of the nation.' The Governor of Georgia contends that the cession having been made, the General Government of the United States have no further right of interference; whilst the latter, on the other wand, maintain that the act not being by Indian custom legal (and it also being possible that the Chief who'ezecused the deed might have been bribed thereto), and the rest of the Chiefs of the Creek nation refusing to confirm the transfer, they cannot suffer it to take place, considering the cession to have been imperfect, rind tiserefokeiliegat. 1 4#: te. . PARIL4MENTARY PAPER. REPORT •ROM THE SELECT commirratx ON CONVEYANCE AND PORTERAGE OF PARCELS. Your Committee have called before them all the witnesses most calculated to give them information upon the subject, and to explain the inconveniences arising out of the defects of the present law. The object of the Act 3 William and Maly, 'was to insure a moderate and fair charge upon the transmission of all gm's by land carriage to all parts (;f the king dom; and to effect this object, k empowered the Jus tices of the Peace, in General Sessions assembled, to assess and fir the rate to be charged for the conveyance of goods by any common waggoner and carrier, and to certify the fame to the several Mayors or other Chief Officers of the places through which such public car riage passed. The provisions of this Act were tuttlier enforced in the 21 Geo.ll. by obliging the Clerks of the Peace to send to the Lord Mayor of the City of London a certified copy of such rates. • From the evidence taken before your Committee, it ap; ears that these two Statutes are alroci.t inoperative at present, as, cut of all the counties in England and Wales, not more than six returns of the appointed rates have been made to the Lord Mayor. But even if the provisions of the laws had been cart ie.! into execution more accurately, the altered circumstances of the country since the period of the passing of those Acts, the great inctease in all the modes of public conveyance, and the great advantage arising to the public from constant competition, have contributed to render legis lative restriction, less necessary than formerly ; and your Committee are of opinion, that the 'public on the one side, and the proprietors of public carriages on the other, are so much alive to their mutual interests, that legislative checks are no more necessary in the deal ings, than in the transactions, carried on by persons in any other business or trade. It appears also to your Committee, from the evidence adduced before them, that even in the few, counties where the rate has been fixed by the Magistrates, =that the,public has not been benefited by the practice, for instances have occurred where, from the spirit of competition, the price charged by the proprietors of public coaches has been lower than that fixed by the Magistrates. Under such circumstances your Committee are of opinion, that so far from imposing any additional checks by law, the Acts of William and Mary and of George H. ought, from being . inapplicable to the present times, and indeed from their complete inopera tiveness, to be repealed. With respect to the 39 Geo. 111, commonly called the Porterage Act, it appears to your Committee that several parts of it might be amended. Complaints have been made, and with great justice, of the exces sive charges demanded for the conveyance of parcels by porters from the office of the coach proprietors to the residence of the individuals to whom such parcels are addressed. Cases of fraud also in forging rite tickets, and altering the sum written in the tickets, have been made out. A check to this system has been ap plied with success, as may be seen in the evidence of Mr. Waterhouse, by paying attention to the characters of the porters taken into the employment of the pro prietors, and demanding a security for the honest dis. charge of their duty ; but as this system is not general, and as great inconveniences have arisen to the public from the inadequacy of the law, your Committee are of opinion, that that Statute is capable of amendment. The Hereditary Prince of PRUSSIA left the Palace or Lathan, on Tuesday se'nnight, to return to Berlin. The Act allowing Newspapers to be sent to the Bri tish Colonies at a rate of postage of three half-pence each paper, does not corn. into operation till the 10th of October next. And then it will be necessary to put the Newspaper into the Post Office on the day on which it is published, otherwise the paper will be charged postage as a letter. CAMS OF EXIITRR, JULY 22.—Among the cases heard before the Magistrates this day, was a complaint by Ann Quick and Ann Hill, two servant-maids, against Admiral Swiney, of St. Thomas's, for arrears of wages. It appeared that about three months since, the Admiral put his family, including the complainants, into mourning; that a few days after, Mr. Swiney told the servants, that if they did not stay in her service six months, the mourning was to be returned. The complainants, as they stated, and which was not denied, were dismissed because they allowed two potatoes to boil to pieces, there being but three in the saucepan. Mrs. Swiney refused to pay their wages, because they refused to give up the clothes. The complainants, how ever, did not seem disposed to leave off mourn ing so soon, and therefore procured the summons to recover their wages. The parties were satis fied with the drcision of the Magistrates, which was, that as the complainants appeared to look well in their clothes, they should cantinue to wear them and give up their wages, which were not of so much value. The following affecting circumstance recently oc curred at Middlezoy, Sonters:t :—.4 woman residing at that place, named Rich, had been to Bridgewater market, and was returning to her home in a cart, when she was descried by her little silt, a child of only three years of age. The fond creature, in the excess of his joy at again seeing hi, mother, ran and laid hold of the wheel of the cart in which she was tiding; when he was carried under it, and su.tained a fracture of the skull, of which he died on the following day. Mr. I . Carries, of Langport, held an Inquest on the body, when a verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned. About one o'clock on Wednesday morning, a loud ringing at the bell brought the porter of the St. James's Hotel, Jeranyn-street, to the door. He there saw a man fashionably dressed, who hastily to k what appeared to be a gold watch from his fob, and asked the porter to lend him S. upon it till the morning, when he would return the money, with some gratuity to boot. The porter, thinking that he had to deal with some Gentle man who had foolishly lost all his cash at one of tl.e gambling houses, which abound in the neighbourhood, readily lent him the money. The Gentleman, how ever, never called to redeem his watch next morning ; hich is not to be wondered at, since it turns out to be worth only a few shillings. On the same morning, the porters of the Royal Hotel and White's Club House, in St. James's-street, were defrauded by the same fellow, under similar circumstances. CORONATION A NECDOTE.—One of the unfortunate little birds which was let loose in the Cathedral, at Rheims, on the Coronation of the King of Prance, having burnt its wings, and scorched itself sadly, at one of the numerous chandeliers then lighted up, fell on the head of an English Gentleman, who, taking the bird in his hand, dryly observed, " What a fine country this France is, where larks drop down already roasted."

THE DUKE OF ORLEANS. The following curious characteristics of this Prince are related in a private letter from Paris of the 4th inst. 4 , Everybody knows that the Duke is excessively rich, but it is not generally known that he is his own steward and accountant. He knows his receipts and expendi. Jure to a centime. If he builds, he superintends, and scertains the cost of the materials. Where he farms, he is his own chapman. He cuts no grass to make hay because he might have idle fellows who would make two days work of one, and the hay might be wasted. He therefore goes into his fields with those who wish to purchase, and sells the grass as it stands, so that all the expense of converting it into hay, and of its re moval, falls upon tke purchaser. He then calculates how much hay his horses ought to eat in a year, and purchases at the best rate to that extent. He does the same also with his corn. Thew the Duke has no kitchen, and consequently no cooks. He is supplied by a traiteur at so much per dish; and here he is 'so economical in the prices, that one traitsur has, it is said in Paris, failed by the undertaking. What is left at the Duke's table belongs to the traiteur, who supplies the upper servants with it at so much per head ; and what is left there goes on the same principle to the lower servants, for all are upon board wages. The Duchess is equally careful in her way ; and thus the enormous fortune of the Duke becomes daily more considerable." FRU:ORRICK PARFET, Esq. of Missenden, Bucks, dropped off his horse and expired, on the morning of Monday, when riding over his meadows. He had com plained of a giddiness in his head in the morning, wbich had gone off, and he was in good health when seized with the awful visitation. It appears by the Coroner's accounts recited and al lowed at the Manchester Quarter Sessions, that twenty two persons have sacrificed their lives in that district, during the last three months, by excessive drinking. Thursday, at two o'clock, a fine steam-vessel, of 140 tons burthen, named the Bolivar, and intended for the Colombian service, was launched from the building yard of Messrs. GRAYSON and LIADLRY, Trentham street, Liverpool. Wednesday, a large quantity of porpoises made their appearance in the river Taw, and came up as far as Bideford-bridge, much to the amusement of a vast company of spectators. Last week, at North Shields, a fellow issued notices that he would be At Home on Friday evening, and enter tain the public with his recent , Trip to Paris, consisting of recitations, songs, Ste. He kept his word—first pocket• ing the money, and then disgusting the audience; but if at borne at night, to the mortification of his landlord and whets, he was absent at an early hour next morn ing, and forgot to pay a single debt he had contracted. An infant, about a month old, which had been de. setted by its unnatural parent, was found, on Tuesday night, near the entrance to a wheeler's gate, in Park street, near the Borough Market. A man who hap pened to be passing by the place about one o'clock in the morning, had his attention called to. the spot by the cries of an infant ; and on going to the place, he found the little creature on the ground, wrapped up in a piece of coarse flannel. It was immediately taken to St. Saviour's workhouse, where it now remains. LAM OF NATIONS.—The Court of Cessation at Paris has lately decided a point of some importance to vessels approaching the colonial dominions of France. In former times, regulations forbad every vessel to ap proach the coasts of the colonies nearer than one league. Lately, M. Lardenoy, Governor of Guadaloupe, tended this restriction to three leagues. Six English vessels—the Anne, Sarah, Charlotte, Teazer, Bell; and the For, and one American vessel, were detained under this order of M. Lardenoy, and condemned as good prizes by the Colonial Authorities. But this de cision was annulled on the 25th of November, 1824, in consequence of a requisition of the Minister of Marine. Afterwards a French vessel, the Adele, returning from St. Thomas's to Martinique, was seized within three leagues of Guadaloupe, and confiscated. Against the confiscation the owners appealed, and the question was to ascertain it M. Lardenoy was authorised to snake the regulation which the vessel had violated, and if the re gulation of 1784, commanding vessels that were coming into any of the ports, to make themselves known at the distance of three leagues, had not been falsely applied by the Colonial Tribunal ? After a profound ,and luminous discussion, the Court decided that the Colonial Legislature had wrongly applied the law of 1784, as that was only applicable to vessels entering the ports, and had no relation to vessels passing along the courts pursuing their voyage. It accordingly an• nulled the decision of the Court below.

GUILDHALL. • A very decent -looking female, about 30 years of age, who gave her name Ann Bishop, was charged with attetnyklug to deiert bei female infant, six weeks old. About Its o'clotk so Wednesday evening, the prisoner was observed passing and repulsing several times near the shop door of blessrs. Reynolds, silkoten, in Pater nester-row, with the child In her arms, and at length she left the child in the passage, where it was found by a passenger. The opposite neighbours, who had observed her walking &beet, ivent in pursuit of her, and found her standing up a passage, as if waiting to see fact, but afterwards she confessed she was the tnother. She alto stated that she was the daughter of a farmer at Gadsden, in Herts, but in consequence of his misfortunes she was compelled to go into service at Nottingham; there she formed a connection with one John Smith, by whom she bad the infant. Smith had deserted her about four months ago, and she had walked all the way from Nottingham, in the hope of retrieving her character, wi,t getting again into service, The Churchwardens of Christ Church parish, who attended as the prosecutors, gave credit to this sten: and expressed no dispo-ition to press for the punishment of the prisoner. The worthy Magistrate treated her with great kind ness; gave her a sovereign, we believe, from his own pocket, and delivered her over to the Churchwardens, with a gentle admo nition, in order that site might be sworn to the settlement of her illegitimate child,. aid passed wits it down to Nottingham. QUF.EN.SQUARE. Peter Quin, a private In the Foot Guards, was charged with as saulting Morgan, a watchman, and breaking his lauthorn ; and Cor poral Tomlinson, of the same Regiment, was charged with rescuing Quin frem the legal custody of Morgan. Morgan said, that he was on defy, near Buckingham-gate, on Saturday night last, about ten o'clock, and Quin, who was quite drunk, carne towards him, and intentionally pushed violently,against him, and he fell against the railings.. He recovered his legs, and raised his lanthorn, to see the face of Quin, when the latter kicked it into the m 13415 or the street, and broke it to pieces. He (witness) gut assistance, fuittook the prisoner into custody, and Tomlinson, the eorpnral, ealqc cirAbfe spot. Witness ca3led upon him, in the King's name, to atria; in stead of doing so, he took hisprisoner from him, and conveyed,hitn to the guard-room. Corporal Tomlinson, in his defence, said, that it was reported'in the guard-room that one of the privates was being ill-used in the street by three watchmen, and the Serjeant-Major sent hint to fetch the man away, and be only obeyed superior orders.—Afoor a long conversation between Colonel Woodford and the Magistrates, in which the Colonel endeavoured to exculpate the soldiers, the matter was compromised, by the Colonel plying 9s. 6d. to the watchman fur his lantborn and hat, which he lob: in the affray; at d the Colonel said, that Quin should receive mi!itary punishment fur his offence. AIM Smith, a young Cyprian, who bas undergone several exami nations, for robbing the person of Mr. B. Ward of 48 sovereigns, and French money to the amount of £6B, was fully committed. NI A RLBOROUGH-STREET. A poor worn-out old man, who, in his , younger days, practised as a surgeon, but who now, in consequence of some extraordinary vicissitude, sweeps the crossings in ltegent-street, was charged by a tradesman, residing in that street, with being concerned with a man, not in custody, with stealing a large basin, his property, out of his shop. The tradesmen stated, that a man of mean ap. pearance came into his shop, a china warehouse, and seized upon a basin and decamped. lie pu r su ed him, but the man's speed was so great, that he escaped. Upon recollection, he thought he had seen the robber in conversation with the street-sweeper, and that suspicion was afterwards confirmed by other persons to whom his described the robber. The street-sweeper declared that he was innocent of the charge, and the Magistrate set him at liberty. Jlanumt, a constable of Sr. Giles's, was summoned to *hew cause why he did not pay certain parochial paving rates; Barnard said, that he was a constable of the parish, and he understood that he was exempted from all parochial rates, levies, &c.—The DJagis trates said it was a new law to them, and they should be glad if he would point out the Statute that was in favour of parochial constables. Barnard replied, that Imp.) , laid it down in his book, that all parochial constables were free from assessments while they were in office. The case was adjouraed for a fortnight to allow Mr. Barnard to bring forward his authorities. MARY-LA-BONNE. norms Porter, a groom, was brought from Mary-la-bonne watch-house, in the custody of James Ford, a watchman, charged under the statute of the 4th of George 11. sec. 28, with having ex tinguished one of the gas lights belonging to the Imperial Gas Light Company, on Wednesday night last. The prisoner was convicted in the mitigated penalty of 40s. which he paid, and was discharged. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday, William Ross, a man of fashionable exterior, was brought up for final examination, on a charge of felony. The pd. sonar offered to pawn, at the shop of Mr. Dickens, in Limehousc, two silver spoons. The pawnbroker thinking they were not honestly come by, sent them to this °Mee, and on Saturday the pd. soots waited on the Magistrate, and, with an air of the most eon. munause assurance, demanded his property, stating that he was a Purser in his Majesty's Navy. However, all his swagger went for nought. An owner has since been found for the spoons, in the person of Mr. Martin, a ship-builder, at whom oessisthe prisoner called oo presence of having some business to temeset, whoa be stole the spoons. He was fully committed.
