PUBLIC DINNER TO WILKIE THE PAINTER. Fridai laic, the Provost and Magistrates of Cupar,' together with a considerable number of the private friends and admirers 'of the artist, welcomed Mr.Wilkie to his native county in a dinner at M'iklah's ; Mr. Stark, Provost, in the Chair, supported by Dr. Barclay, of Kettle, croupier. After the usual preliminary toasts, Mr. STA RIC rose, and proposed the toast of the day in the health of Mr. Wilkie. Mr. WILMS, in returning thanks, said he felt highly g ratified by the occasion of this day's meeting. In this company were his earliest friends, and in Cupar was the scene of his earliest recollections. He had been honoured by the freedom of the city, and in this he felt, as well as in the honour this day conferred, a com pliment was paid to the arts of Scotland, rather than to himself as an individual ai tist. Poetry and music are known to precede 'civilization ; but painting seems a consequence, and a pool' of the perfection of every other art. In this branch of polite accomplishment, however, Scotland has at no time been deficient. While England had her Vandyke, Scotland had her Jameson—while she had Sir Godfrey Kneller, we bad Sir John Medine: Even when the Court and Petrliament had left us, our countrymen sought fame and encouragement in a foreign land. Ramsey became the Ceu t-painter in London ; and two Scotsmen, Gavine. Hamilton and Jacob Moore, were at one time celebrats.d as the gteatest painters in Rome! Since thi , , however, a mote national style has arisen; Mar t.tt did much honour to his country, and had in his poi traits n uch of that which belonged so particularly to Sir Joshua Reynolds—that refinement of manner which made all his women ladies, and all his men getulemen. In our time, we have had a host in Rae• twin, whose works, with those of other artists left be- hind him, will be relished by Scotland while her feel ing -for art•re:nains, arid while the material of their ciloir and form shall exist. AlrAVlLlcre then proposed the health of the Provost, —a peat variety of other toa,ts ‘s et e given, and many very suitable and intere,ting sreeches were made, after which the company separated.—Cupar Herald. THE LATE DR. OLIDNEV, THE AFRICAN TRAVELLER. - +OP - PROM Tilt GLASCOW•COUIIIBR. We insert an interesting 'earl from Lieut. Clappertcr, regarding the death of his fellow African traveller, Dr. Oudney, on the western frontier of &unfit), in the in terior of Northern Africa. His Journals and Papers, sshich Irina be extremely interesting, he has recom mended to the care and revision of Mr. lia BROW, of the Admiralty. -The immediate cause of li, death opens' to our view a new add astonishing feature in the geo graphy of interior Africa. Instead of burning sands and a country at id from' heat, we learn that the cold was so severe, that it froze the water skins to a solid mass. The part where this took place, if former accounts from these traveller sbe correct, is in about 19 deg. N lat. It is scarcely necessary to observe, that ,this degree of cold can only take place in that pairallel from a very great elevation, and which very elevated country, while bats the progress of the Niger to the eastward and to the Nile of Egypt, must give birth to innurnerp ble powerful streams, which will.tend to swell, not de. crease its stream as it flows Eastward and Southward. Considering this, we are at no lobs to account for the mighty floods which enter the Atlantic, in the Bights of Benin and Biafra. Leo Africanus told us, that the country of Zegzeg, situated about this part of Africa, was exceedingly cold, but his narrative was treated with ridicule. Subsequent travellers gave us similar reports, but they were laughed at, and the low swamps which absorbed the Niger, were placed while we find a country so elevated as in 12 deg. N. lat. to be visited by frost in Decemker, equal to any we feel in this parallel of lat. —On the Ttunmit of the Blue Mountains in Jamaica, in 18 deg. N. lat. and at an elevation of 8,000 feet above the level of the sea, frost is altogether unknown; From this we may judge of the great elevation of that part of Africa where Dr. Oudot" , died. Before frost could. be felt to such a degree, the elevation in 12 deg. N. Ilat. would probably exceed 14,000 feet above the leifel2of the sea. Captain Laing ascertained that the sources-uf the Niger do not exceed 1,500 feet above the level cf, the Atlantic. Its passage eastward, therefore, to ti Nile, may be set down as physically . impossible. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LIEU?. CLAPPERTONTO MR. CONSUL WARRINGTON, DATED KANO, FEB. 2, 1824. " The melancholy task has fallen to me to report to you the ever-to-be-lamented death of my friend Dr. Walter Oudney. We left Kuka on the 14th of Decem ber, 1823, and . by easy journies arrived at Bedukarfea, the .westernmost town in the kingdom of Bornon. During this part of the journey, he was recovering strength very fast ; but on leaving Bedukarfea. and en tering the Beder territory, on the night of the 26th and morning of the 27th, we had such an intense cold, that the water was frozen in the dishes, and the water skins as hard as boards. Here the poor Doctor got a severe cold, and continued to grow weaker every day. At this time he told me, when he left Kuka he expected his disorder would allow him to perform all his country expected from him; but that now his death was near, And he requested me to deliver his papers to Lord Ba thurst, and to say he wished Mr. Barrow might have the arrangement of them, if agreeable to the wishes his Lordship. " On the 2d of January, 1824, we arrived at the city of Katagum, where we remained till the 10th, partly to see if tire Doctor, by staying a few days, would gain a hale strength to pursue his journey. On leaving Katagum he rode a camel, as he was too weak to ride his horse. We proceeded on out road for ten miles that day, and then halted, and on the following day five miles farther, to a town called Murthur. .On the morning of the 12th be ordered the camels to be loaded at day-light, and drank a cup of coffee, and I assisted him to dress. When the camels were loaded, with the assistance of his servant and me, lie cade out of his tent. I saw then that the band of death was upon him, klnd that he had not an hour to live. I begged him to 1 - eturn to his tent and lie down, which be did, and I sat down beside him t he expired in about half an hour after. " I sent immediately to the Governor of the town to acquaint him with what !Jul happened, and to desire he would point out a spot wbere I might bury my friend, and also to have pi-st wash the b‘xly and dig the grave, whiCh was iiiiedflreomplied with. I had dead clothes made from some turbans shit were intended as presents ; and as we tiosielled as Englishmen and ser vants of his Majesty, 1 considered it my most indispen sable duty to read the sereiceofthe dead over the grave, according to the rites of the Church of England, which happily was not objected to ; but, orethe contrary, I was paid a good deal of respect for so doing." . • .

LUKE'S CHURCH , CHELSEA. •... - 0 • • •• • The New Church for the pariah of Chelsea, built by Mr. Savage, upon a pait of the fecund formerly called “ The Coninvon, was Consecrated yesterday morning' i llythe Bishop of London. The doors of the Church mew closed at eleven o'clock, upon a very numerous aild highly-respectable congregation, •and the ceremo. !hail' terminated at three. The Choristers of St. Paul's Cathedral attended. and performed, during the service, several pieces of Sacred Music, in a beautiful. style. The bells commenced ringing a merry peal as early as seven o'clock in the morning, and continued until the beginning of the service, when they ceased, and again Jung when the service was ended. Besides the two carriages of the Bishop of London, there were several others belonging to different private lientlemen. The ma eased population of this parish—the smallness of the Old Church (now the Parish Chapel), which will not accommodate with sittings more than 500 out of nearly 30,000 inhabitants, and the great inconvenience consequently .eseerienced for want of a more central parochial place of worship, first suggested the propriety of carrying into effect an object which was yesterday realized. The building has been justly represented as one of the mcht beautiful samples of modern gothic architecture extant in the kingdom. The external ap pearance is truly characteristic of its intended object. It conveys to the mind that solemnity and grandeur which ought ever to attach to the House of the living GOD. The view in front of the Church is neat, but elegant. It has a porch, which conducts to two large folding doors, by which admittance is gained to the body of the Church. There are four very handsome spires at the top of the Tower, and a neat pallisade (if such it may be called) incloses the terrace or body of the Church. The internal appearance is really a specimen for modern Architects. The stone cieling is particularly imposing, and well executed. The pulpit is on the right on entering the Church, and the reading desk is on the left. Adjoining the Church, at the communion end, is a very spacious Vestry Room, well calculated for ifs intended purpose. It is reckoned that the Church accommodate 2.000 persons, out of which number there are 500 free seats. Theeaterior is not yet finished, nor is it expected that it will be before Christmas. Divine Service will, how• ever, be regularly performed from this day forward, as - the internal arrangements are fnlly completed. Monday se'nnight, by the Bev. Mr. MANNING, H.

Our Suitscription Pick of Harriers commenced operations for re gular..peactice three der in a week, via. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, on Friday sennight ; but the dings west her occasioned them to be next to unemployed yntil yesterday, when a gallant held of sportsmen was exhibited, with weather comparatively brilliant. Some tolerable runs ensued, and two incidents, both of an unplea sant character, gaie an unwished fur colouring to the sports, wnich otherwise would have bete 'mtich enjoyed. The first was, in the midst bre chase, the dew) of the hare from the discharge of a fowl ing-piece by a wandering gunner, who, in the end, found himself somewhat awkwardly situated amidst the disappointed sportsmen, who were in nowise sparing of the merited comments on his beha viour. The dead hare was taken from his person, and a prosecution threatened. The, other incident was cif a more distressing tom. pleiion ; it included a severe fall to Mr. Petre, the brother of Lord Petre, In rapidly descending a steep, when his spirited horse.otet in collision with another, owing to the sudden•doubling of the hare, and which, with menacing violence, brought bot'a riders to the ground. Mr. Petre, who pitched forward from the saddle, alighted on his head, and for a time was insensible ; the other Gentleman was un hurt. The former was removed front the ground . to the Cavalry Barracks, surgical aid having previously been procured, and where it was speedily and happily ascertained, that no material conse quence would result from, the accident.. Mr. Petre, N hose fore head bad been contused, and bruises inflicted about the body, is now rapidly recovering from the disagreeable effects of the disaster. The above Pack Will continue to throw off the same as last year, as above stated, at ten o'clock in the morning - 1)f the fortber day, at Pateham ; on the Race Course on Wednesdays; and on Fridays at the Devil's Dyke.

Reynolds in all these rounds finested as much as he could, to gain his man time to recover front Mt stupor, for he ap peared to fight more from instinct thaa knowledge. It was piteous to see the brave fellow in such a state, receiving punishment with out being able to collect himself sufficiently to retaliate; but still on the whole he appeared rather better every round, which gave his friends some small hippos. Tom Oliver, for the' last few' tounde, had seen the advantages the butcher might obtain by going in to finish the fight, from the helpless state of the Irishman ; but Boa. coe had knapt some severe phnishment, and bad by his rushing mode of fighting, in some degree exhausted his powers, still he was in a vary different plight to poor AliGoe. Pat, after a short rally, was looted. 14. APGet, to the astonishment of his friends, shook off the lethargy which had got him so much punishment. His strength returned ; he walked up to the scratch quite giy,,but in such a state as made the. Knights of the Cleaver admire hii fortitude. Paddy went lively to work, and floored his man. " I shall be all right in a minute, Toni," said 41/"Gee. 15. Pat sent a left-handed customer to the Butcher's tripe-shop, that knocked down the stall. 16. Reynolds roared out to his man, " Another such a hit, anti you will win." Pat again hit the mark, got into a rally, closed, and both were so exhausted that neithgr could strike or throw, but held each other for some seconds, their heads resting un each °thee; shoulders; at last Bosco, dropped down', Pat on him. 17. The blows which Boscoe received on the pit of the stomach, in the 35th and 16th rounds, had completely doubled him; be ast on his second's knee as if he had the spasms, and tried to *sulk.— Reynolds seized the opportunity of a weak moment to ask if he bad enough ? Oliver said No, and brought his man to the scratch ; but the smile that had hitherto played on his mug had vuitished, and after a faint rally and a close, went down easy. d moron his bottle•holder's knee, the head of &scut begin to urcup. • From the 18th to the 29th, the description of one round will an swer for the whole. I'at M'Oee at the scratch, striving to get a peep at his man from a small corner of his left eye, and Briscoe making Isis rush in endeavours to shut up what little day.light 31`liee had left; a rally and a close, and she Butcher striving to fall on the ground for fear of Pat's cross-buttock. 30. Time was precious, fur Pat's daylight was so bad as merely to enable hint to discern a confused sight of the object before him. Pat gave his man a clean cross-buttock, and fell on him so heavily, that Oliver picked hint up almost liteless. 31. Reynolds hurried his man in, and told him to take - Bascoe just such another journey ; but the Butcher did not relish such fraternal hug, and struggled - hard to get to the . groutiti, without having a Mullingar hoist into the bargain. He succeeded. • 32. This was a critical petiod of the fight ; IsPlitee's eyes were now all but closed, and he.could do little more than feel fur his man. Boscoe had still both his eyes open, bias was weak tront body hits, and not so strong as Par. A short rally, both down. 33. The anxiety of the seconds on both sides, was visible to the most indifferent spectator; but Pat hit again at the victuailing of. fice, and after a short rally, Boscoe went down, Pat uppermost. This finished the fight. Reynolds seized London Bill's hat, and threw it up in the air ; shouts, that rent the skies, issued from the broad-shouldered coves, and in two seconds the ring was a forest of black thorn. Boscoe, within the last five years, has fought a number of battles, some for prizes—one he fought and won, with one of his hands tied to his breast ; but his late contest with Jack Morrice fur 20 pounds a-side, gave his friends so much confidence in his milling powers, that they offered to back him against Langan; but the Irish Champion took no notice of the invitation. This conduct gave the Liverpool butchers the grin on the Paddies, and a few of the National Boys felt `rather sore. About twelve months since, Reynolds, on his way to Dublin, fell in company with McGee, and the next day gave him a lesson in the pugilistic art, This set poor Pat mad to be a boxer. Ma sons' work no longer bad charms for his aspiring soul, and chop ping living blocks he thought more desirable than chopping blocks of atone. Having expressed a wish to enter the ring.. be was asked if he would fight Boscoe?

After this description of the fight, it will he seen that l'at is one of the bravest of the brave. The tight lasted 31 minutes 50 seconds. A manly battle, in which courage made tip for science, took plae on Thursday, in a ten acre field, of Mr. Dyson, b etween the Hare row and the Uxbridge roads, seven miles front I.optlOn. It was for ten sovereigns; and the combatants were Deacon, a wheeler, and Joe Smith, au athletic flue : faker, once a pitpil oC Paddington Jones. At the - set.to both turned to work ; bat they granted a little of the rough edge taken off their gaiety; and the Arai three rounds consisted chiefly in throwing, and no claret was visible. 4. The combatants drew each other's corks in casual counter hits, and both dropped their claret gaily. Both were hit from the scratch, but they made up to ft again, and exchanged severe blows. Deacon was floored by a slit on the nose. 5 and 6. The same determined fighting, and neither would go down until compelled. Smith was thrown heavily in both rouser. 7. Both tired, the pipe!' at work; bleeding nubs and swollen fea tures made pretty figures of them and our correspondent thought Joe was getting leafy, and that he had got into a toal suit ; but it was not so; he was lopsided by a blow on the t,bs, aiJ la.act.o ,gave hint one on the side of the nob; but it wa- , too hard, and Joe was knocked over, and he then must have been c:tistied that he had got into queerish hands, but there was no denial about him. 8. Joe made the play - and placed left and right hits on the body .and on the temple, which took away some of Deacon's jollity and floored hint.
