1 Hill, overlooking the whole of the city and its suburbs, and commanding an the various beauties that are seen s epatat-lv from other points, is quite unique, and well w orth, the attention of the painters of panoramas. Rotten contains two of the most perfect specimens of the Auglo-Not man Gothic architecture now existing— viz. the Cathedr4l, and the beautiful Abbey of Saint (yen. The old wooden houses, which seem to bring the 14th century to one's memory, are very curious; and the narrow, crooked streets have a singular effect, and contrast strongly with the brilliancy of the shops of jewellery, millinery, porcelain, glass, &c. which ate here so elegant, and often vie with those of Paris; the cafés are large and handsome, and are brightly lighted with gas at night. It is, indeed, riot to be wondered, that Rouen should have the external signs of wealth, for many of its in habitants are extremely rich, and the population, ex ceeding 100,000, are generally in a prosperous condi tion. The. Corporation are enlarging and embellishing the Maison de Ville, and have Already spent ten thou sand pounds upon it. A new stone bridge also is neatly completed ; it is placed a little higher up the Seine than the bridge of boats, which is to be removed about one hundred yards farther down, and the public ac commodation from this change will be very great. Trade appears to be in full activity; the manufacto ries, mills, &c. extend round the city in all directions, and I understand exceed two thousand in number.— You are aware that this is the strong-hold of the cotton tiade—the Manchester of France, and that its proxi mity gives it great facilities for obtaining supplies of the raw material. The factories for spinning cotton are now nearly two hundred, and in the course of ten years have multiplied tenfold. The operatives employed in these establishments average at least eighty to each, and amount therefore to about sixteen thousand. Them are about thirty thousand weavers and spinners who work the looms at home, and, including the printers and dyers, it is computed that the cotton manufacture of Rouen supports nearly silty thousand persons. Two of the spinning establishments have lately commenced tbe making of piece goods ; one of these has one bun ' tired, and the other twenty looms at work, and they have produced calico of es good quality as the British, but cannot at present afford to sell it at less than seven pence a yard, while British of the same sort sells at tivepence. This branch, however, is yet.in its infancy here, and the wages are from eight to ten francs a we k, being as high as at Manchester. The cheapness of provisions gives such and avantage to these spinning establishments, that they are making a profit of about 12 per cent. on their capital, while the Manchester manufacturers are complaining that they cannot realize 6 per cent. The spinning wages here are from 16 so IS francs a week, while in England they are 30s. for the same labour, and the people work thio teen boars a day, being an hour longer than with us. I am very sorry to find that no difference is made in fa vour of children ; thirteen hours a day ate surely too many for young persons (many of whom are girls, &c, in delicate health) to be kept at work; and it is much to be wished that the masters or the Government would make some regulation like our Act of Parliament, that limits the employment of children to ten hours a day. NO;such thing as a strike for wages ever happens bere ; the people seem thankful for whatever they can get. _They are content with the fare that an English lean spurn, and can make a good dinner upon a piece*of bread and an onion; and, as to drinking, the French are known to be the soberest nation in the world. Brearkhas risen here lately ; it is now 21 to 2i d. per lb,—.raear' 6d.—potatoes 11d. the bushel, and other vegetables one•third cheaper than in England ; flour 20. per lb. The most expensive article is that of firing, which costs a labourer with a family five francs a week for wood, if he keeps a fire constantly. Coals are be yond his reach, and are very costly to his master, who pays at the rate of thirty francs a day fur fuel for a steam engine of twelve horse power. Comparing the state rf the cotton trade here with that of England, the truth I believe is, that English capitalists ate settling here very fast—that the expenses are much less, and the profit consequer.tly greater—but that the French work men are not yet sufficiently acquainted with their work, or the use of machinery, and are so much less intelli gent than the English operatives, as to make the value of their labour decidedly inferior. I have been informed by practical men, that British cottons are considered still to have the advantage over the French in the mar ket, in the proportion of two to one. This is perhaps correct; but the time is within our recollection. when the proportion was as two to nothing—when France had none of these manufactures at all, and when our swat reiAnty over the cotton trade was as undisputed as our sovereignty of the seas. Things, however, are daily getting to an equality ; Rouen supplies all France, and has asmall export trade ; and it cannot be supposed Inn that the improvement of the French workmen in skill and intelligence is progressive, and that their utility is consequently increasing. It well behoves the British Governmenk, therefore, to watch carefully over oar cotton manufacture, lest the day, though now dis tant, should arrive when the successful competition of foreigners may deprive us of our foreign market. I have already mentioned the actual difference in the late of profit, and if some steps are not taken to cheapen labour and provisions, and lessen the expenses of our manufacturers, the consequences to Great Britain can. not be viewed without apprehensioc. I have been ra ther prolix, but the interest of the subject will be my excuse for trespassing on your columns.

BYTHE, Auo. 25. At a Special Session of the Magistrates of the County of Kent, held at the Swan Inn this day, JOHN WARD, Esq. Collector of Customs at Dover, on the part of the Board of Customs, exhibited information against thirteen men, captured the 113th inst. by Lieut. Charles A. Johnson, of the Blockade Force, on board the French lugger, La Jeune Rose de Boulogne, and her boats, in a smuggling transaction off Dym Church, when, after a patient hearing, in which four pleaded Guilty and eight Not Guilty, the Magistrates, William Deedes, Esq. and the Rev. Archdeacon Crofts, adjudgt d and sentenced John Baker, Thomas Hubbard, alia, Cloke ' John Saunders, Richard Marshall, and Richard Driscoll, to be impressed into his Majesty's Naval Ser vice• for five years; and William Stevenson, William Eldridge, Patrick Owen, inhabitants of Fulkstone, and Lobis Poure, Jean Le lebvre, Alexander Le Maire, and Gabriel Sns, natives of Boulogne, to the penalty of 1001. each, which neither being able to pay, they were committed, and sent to Maidstone Gaol. One of the smugglers, John i-hilpot, of Folkstone, having been wounded in the affray wi h a musket ball, the prosecution against him was necessarily defrrred. The taptute of the French lugger, her two boats, with 142 casks of spirits, and thirteen men determined on resistance, by Lieutenant Johnson, and a boat's crew of four, reflects the highest credit on the conduct of this gallant officer; and as his zeal and courage have been the means of capturing recently upwards of 30 other smugglers,, it is hoped his merit will not pass unnoticed in the proper quarter.

The following anecdote is related of the late Adju cant-General Sir Henry Torrens :—On the 21 of October, 1799, a severe action was fought near Alkmaar, in Holland, and some of our Officers, amongst whom was Sir Henry Torrens, imagining that they bad purchased security for a few .lays, rode into that town, for the purpose of viewing the place and enjoying the rarity of a good dinner. While this dinner was in preparation, Sir Henry Torrens sat down in the coffee-room. to make some notes is his joutnal, but seeing Major Kemp, then Aide•de-Camp to Sir Ralph Abercrombie, tide hastily into the town, he started front his un finished task to ask the news. From Major Kemp he learned that the French had made an unexpected advance upon the English troops, and that the division to which he was attached was under orders for immediate action. Without waiting to return fur his papers and his pocket-book, containing between 401. and 501. which he had lett on the table, he mounted hit horse, and in a moment was at hill speed. lie arrived in time to place himself at the head of his company, just before the commencement of that action, in which he was dreadfully wounded. A considerable time afterwards he revisited Alkmaar, and calling at the inn he had so abruptly left, received his papers and his purse, which had been with scru pulous honesty preserved.

MONDAY, Auo. 25.—Immediately, after the sitting of the Court this morning, Lord PLUNKETT demanded of the Clerk of the Crown why he had refused to send up to the Grand Jury an indictment against Mr. Yel verton, which had been presented to him for that pur pose ? Toe Clerk of the Crown said, that he had refused to send up the bills by the direction of the Crown Solid. tor, on the author ity of the Solicitor-General. The SOLICITOR GENERAL then addressed the Bench, and said, that having understood a crown prosecution had been undertaken without consulting the law advisers of the Crown, he had directed that the indictment should not be received. His intention in doing so was to bring die matter before the Court, as the proceeding adopted in this case was altogether unprecedented. The usual course he said was to submit the indictment to the At. , tor ney or Solicitor General, and if -he should not deem it a case which should be prosecuted by the Crown, yet he might interfere to prevent others from prosecuting. As this course bad been departed from, and besides, as he did not think the case fit for prosecution by the Crown, he had exercised his judgment in directing that the indictment should not be sent to the Grand Jury without cnmine before the Court. Lord Ptars/KETT consieered that the Solicitor General had exercised his judgment soundly ; but yet the indict ment must go to the Grand Jury. If, however, the bills should by accident be found (And in this case his Lordship thought that could only happen by accident), still the law advisers of the Crown haJ it in their power to prevent the matter from proceeding further, by en tering a noli prosequi. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that he had brought the case before the- Court, merely for the purpose.of having the confirmation of their Lordships' opinion upon that which he knew to be the proper course. • If the bills should by accident be returned, it was his in tention to enter a noli prosequi, as he did not think the case fit for prosecution. Lord PLUNKETT said that he entirely agreed with the Solicitor-General, and that he himself wi,bed the matter to be mentioned in Court, lest the public should re-. ceive a false impression as to the conduct of the Clerk . of the Crown. The witnesses were then sworn, and the indictment sent to the Grand Jury. • FRAM THE DUBLIN EVENING MAIL, AUGUST 25. THREE O'CLOCK.—After an investigation, which Sc-. cupied nearly three hours, and a short examination of the witnesses sent up on the part of the C4tholic Asso ciation, the bills were ignored. The July. it seems, were unanimous in their decision, and the Honourable Gentleman was liberated. DEATH OF LORD ORIEL.—With feelings of unmixed regret we announce the demise of this venerable and patriotic Nobleman. The melancholy event took place at his Lordship's seat, at Colton, in the county of Louth, at five o'clock on Saturday evening. Ills Lordship was in the 88th year of his age, and com menced his political career, as a Member of Parliament, in the first year of his late Majesty's reign. Front an early period of life, almost to the time of his elevation to the Peerage, in 1821, Joan Forma held office under the Crown and a more faithful or efficient shrvant never existed. He was Speaker of the Irish House of Commons at the time of the Union, and his uncompromising firm. ness and patriotic sentiments have furnished the theme of many a panegyric. In private life Lord ORIEL was everything amiable and respectable—a kind friend, au indulgent landlord, and a most estimable man. His Lordship is succeeded by his only san, Lord Viscount F m Lord ANGLErAIT.—In passing from Knocklofty. the seat of the Earl of DONOUGUMOIg, to visit Lord DUNALLT, his Excellency called on Lord IIAWA ROCK, at Dundrum. He rode ' unattended by any individual hut his Lordship, direct from Dun drum to Kilboy, about twenty-eight miles distance ; thus crossing the wildest and most mountainous district in the kingdom. The address of the inhabitants of Borrisoleigh to his Excellency, and his gracious and truly sincere answer, will clearly show the maternal Affection that exists between the Govet nor and the governed. The fullooing is a copy of his Excellency's answer to the address olthe inhabitants of Burriseleigh— " My good Friends—l have received the affectionate address of the Inhabitants of Boil isaleigh with feelings of the warmest gra titude. Anxious as lam for the Prosperity of Ireland. and for the happiness of 01l its people, it is truly gratifying to hnd that the line of policy I have pursued has given confidence in my government. Be assured that the confidence is reciprocal ; that, surrounded by the Irish people, I feel that I am encircled by friends on whose honour, loyalty, and patriotism, I can rely. " Believe me to be your sincere friend, " Moaner.'" The Irish papers are tilled with narratives of shock ing excesses by the Orangemen, in celebrating what they call their anniversary on the 12th of August. .If it be true that the arms and musical instruments if the yeomanry have been used on these occasions, one would think the Government would pause a littl e before they consented to leave the elements of mischief in such hands. • It is calculated that the training of a race horse costs the owner altogether not less than 1001. per annum.
