P • LITERATURE. • " Colonel Johnson's Overland Journey through Persia, Russia, Ire. front lndia to En;i4nd.--Qtlarto, LONGMAN and Co. Among the multitude of Tours which the peace has produced, and which may be called its fruits, if not its blessings, the present Narrative claims an emi nent place, both by its novelty and by the variety of its contents. Extendiag far beyond the beaten track, it describes a range of territory from the Persian Gulf to the Mouth of the Elbe, inhabited by nations differing in language, religion, manners, and cos tume; yet all, at this auspicious period, in a state of tranquillity, and cultivating pacific relations with each other. An overland journey, performed at such a favourable time, must- have afforded peculiar op portunities for observation both of men and things ; and it is gratifying to find that Colonel Johnson 'and his fellow-traveller were enabled to avail themselves of these opportunities in their full extent, by the hos pitable attention they met , xith throughout the whole route, merely in their quality of British Officers, and without express letters of recommendation. Independently of its lively descriptions and charac teristic aneodotes, the Work is valuable for the im portant and useful information it convZys to figure travellers, as well as for the memorable proof which it affords, that a journey formerly so arduous and appalliag, may now be performed with comparative ease, safety, and expedition. It were to be wished that this friendly intercourse anion , ' o nations ,might be perpetual ; but from the testimony of this intelligent traveller, we are con cerned to observe that its duration, particularly in regari to Persia, is very precarious. We select, on' this'subject, the following passage, which will also serve as a specimen of the general tone and spirit of the Work : 0 , ft might seem that as fear generally begets cruelty, the severest measures would be exercised by the C avernment on all who betrayed any feeling of discontent or di..iffection. Yet the utn- -•st freedom is used among the people in their emversations ‘,.•::••,:ritim; the policy of the stete, and the poorest of than will inten address, or rather reply, to the Sovereign or Prince with . the mint fcarlens insolence. A few days ago his Majesty was gning ua horseback through the liazara, when a sh ipkeeper c.nse out nod this addressed 'Sour Naivety little knows the in,Ytnlngs of the poor at this moment; while you are enjoy ir i profusion, we cannot get bread to eat ; all the grain, the rno r tin it arrives irons the country, is bought up br monied men,' and 017, unfortunately far us, are men of consequer.ce : it is th , :n locked up asd served out far sale only by small and most tpootts.:as at greatly enhanced prices. In the !VDU Of Goo attend to our exits, andrelieve your subj•cts, who are 3:greing.' Tate King listened to his complaint, and giving some wis:Afsfactory answer, rode on, followed L T many of his princi ple. people, aut.:mg who:n was his son, Prince Mussein Ally Di erza Tht. shopkeepa in despair, called out, Gan send that the nu/biers may make themselves masters of this country for the relief of the poor.' The Prince, who Is Commander of the for , itied town of Jelaraur, heard the man, and as he passed, looked at him long and steadfastly, as if to scrutinize his counte nance and remember it ; but no farther notice was taken of the *Nag. Civil wu, that greatest and most fatal scourge of poll tiettl society, still hovers over this abused and devoted country, Where no sectuity taints either of person or property; where tla apparent naccuillity, or rather silence of the public mind, vises, nut fruro contentment, hut from mutual distrust ; where the consciousness of dissimulation In 01111 individual inspires him rids the dread of it in another; where oppression graduates FIND rank to rank, and tack nian becomes a stave of those above hit, and a des; it to those briow him ; and where so fishness, estirguishilg all public spirit, augments the c!...solsting evils of yenury and famine. The peepla, ocrgreg net: in towns by a citetrounion of wretchedness, are abandoned to it without re. nonce or mitigation ; nut a tree, much lees a forest, offers its retreat or shelter among the parched and end wastes around them. Thus circumstanced, it cease, to be a raatt;:r of surprise On they should be allowed io utter their repining' with impu nity, or that they should contemplate invasion as an evil more tolereble than their acted state • wherefore, if the instance here adduced be symptomatic of their general temper. they are hastening to the very crisis of aturehy."

About nine o'clock on Wednesday morning a large stack of hay, belonging to Tirosias JONES, Esq. of Sudbury, took fire from over4reating, and was en tirely consumed. ‘Vednesday, at noon, as the ship Emanuel, Cap tain Siourototz, -bound to Elsinore, was sailing by tie llunfleet Beacon, in the Swin, (about 16 miles from land) the vessel was suddenly visited by mil lions of wasps; and although the crew kept sweep ing them from the deck and gun -wale, as they fell, they were assailed with successive swarms for full four hours, before they entirely got rid of their trou blesome guests. The Agricultural Society of Quebec is rivalling the institutions of a similar kind existing is this coun try. The Quebec Gazette of the lBth of June con tains a list of Prizes to be adjudged in the month of October next, and which arc extremely numerous.— The principal objects or the Society appear to be to introduce the most perfect method of rearing live stock, and to encourage the invention of machines for diminishing the quantity of labour. Agrica tural produce also occupies a distinguished place, and that great stimulus to rural enterprise, a plough ing match, has not been forgotten. There are no less than 52 classes of these prizes, and their amount swim from two to 50 dollars. POLICE. Bow-sritErr.-77!amas Sr,lth alias Petrel:on, a 'young man of respectable appearance, was charged Oith defrauding Mr. William Bawden. a wine mer chant, of William-street, Ade lphiy of sir shillings. It appeared, that the prisoner called upon Mr. Bow den, and represented that he had been recommended to him by Mr. Chandler, of Newman-street; that he was in want of some good wine, and after tasting and drinking a good proportion of different sorts of wine, he agreed for the purchase of fifteen dozen, said his name was Harrison, and desired the wine to be sent to the Buffalo, in the New-road; just as he was part ing with Mr. Bawden, he pretended to recollect that he had no silver in his pocket, and requested the loan of some. Mr. Bawden having received a caution re specting a man answering the description of the pri soner, gave him six marked shillings; and when the prisoner had left him a short distance, he followed and detained him. On sending to the Buffalo, in the New-road, the name of Harrison, or the person ache prisoner, was not known, nor was he known to Mr. Chandler. When he was brought to the Office, he said his name was not Harrison, but Smith. He was ordered to find bail, or be committed tcr the fraud. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Saturday, a man and his wife were brought up for re-examinat ion, charged with uttering forged Bank Notes to a large amount. The prisoners had been suspected for some time, in consequence of which, Foy and other officers went to search, their lodgings, but at first could find nothing. Just as they were going away, a rolling-pin, covered with Hour, was observed about the room, which one of the officers took up, and was astonished to find it very light. • It was immediately eramined, and was found to be hollow, and to contain a great quantity of forged aotes.—Mr. Rooker, the successor of Mr. Westwood, attended on behalf of the Bank.—The prisoners were remanded. Wonsure-srnerr.--Friday a Gentleman was com mitted, for want of bail, charged with attempting to violate the person of Sarah Tettenden. The accused alighted from a carriage in the City-road, and went int) a shop, in which the prosecutrix was emplOyed, and after some little conversation cira,7{. - ; e:1 her into a back room, threw her on a bed, and at:emptied to accomplids his purpose, but was-prevented by the arrival of the gii fs uncle, ss ho gave him into custody. He strongly denied the charge, and offered to deposit a £5O not as security for his appearance, in default ct bail, but this was rejected. A few evenings since, a depredator seal ked through the shop of Mr. Thompson, a broker, near Clare- . market, and, withaat being perceived, got into the bed-chamber. Hereinained concealed under the bed all night, his retreat having been cut off by shutting u the shop ; and in the morning, after Mr. and Mrs 'Damson ::ad left the 'nom, he rushed out of the bouse, carrying off a valuable silver watch, several spoons and article; of value. CoURT-MA TlTlAt.—Thursday a Court-Martial was held atik rtsmouth to inquire into the conductof Car tain J. DRURY, late Commander of his Majesty's ship Voti.cie, for having left that ship at Batavia, on or about the 9th of October, 1816, on account of ill health, giving to Lieutenant NVAnac, the Senior Lieutenant, an order to keep charge and command the ship, and proceed in her to join Rear:Admiral Sir RICHARD KING. The Court agreed that Captain JOSEPH Dautiv, when he quitted the command of the VotAGE, at Batavia, w.s in a state of health re quiring change of climate; that, as he had not pro duced any document to the Court to justify his leav ing her, he ought to have proceeded to join Rea:- Admiral Sir RICHARD KING; and that blame was. therefore, imputable to him ; and the Court did .adjudge him to be severely reprimanded. The Court afterwards proceeded to try James Cook, a seaman, belonging to the BRAZEN, for having used threatening and mutinous language to his superior Officer on board the same ship, on the 20th of last month, which charge was proved against him, but, in consideration of circumstances, the Court only ad judged him to receive four &Len lashes on board his own ship. • Exectrrlows..—Saturday morning, soon after eight o'clock, John aged 25 years ; Nathaniel Carter, 21 - and James Williams, were taken from the gaol of Wincherter to the place of execution, where, basin? joined with the Chaplain in prayer, about nine o clock they were launched into eternity. Biddlecomb was a native of.Plattford, in Wilts, and suffered foe keeling open a house at Higlicicie, in company with IL Knott, who was convicted of the n.q . cuce at the last Mat ch Assizes, and sentenced to transportation; and Pocock, who was shot near the placed the robbery. Carter and Williams had been convicted of sheep-stealiag. Carter was a native of Newport in Essex ; and NN Minus came from North Warr.bord. They altackuowledged their crime, and conducted themselves with propriety, ascribing their untimely fate to a neglect of the duties of the Sab bath, and its r.ecess"ary consequence, bad company.

The brothers, sisters, and othor fliends and rela tions of Hussey, were on Saturday suffered to visit him about two o'clock. The scene waadeeply affect ing. He appeared rather dejected, still however, persisting in his declaration of being innocent. He parte.! with his friends by making the following em phatic declaration May Goo bless and preserve you! He knows my innocence. and I trust you will believe in it also. I never yet have imbrued my hands itrthe blood of a fellow-creature ! No, thank HEAVEN, from that stain lam free ! The ALMIGHTY, I trust, will soon bring to light the real murderer of the unfortunate Mr. BIRD and his servant." The Rev. Mr. BODGE and other religious characters visited him. It seems to have been the wish of a great many of the inhabitants of Greenwich, that the exe cution should take place before the house of the late Mr. BIRD, but as no application was made to the Court, no order was issued upon the subject. The sentence of the law was therefore to take place at one o'clock to-day on Pennington Heath, the usual place of execution. The following are literal copies of the letters writ ten by Hussey, and produced on the trial: COPY OF A LETTER TO MRS. WALMSLEY.
