CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTING OF THE 20TII Of OCTOBER. The Members of the Chamber assembled at eleven o'clock; they were occupied in discussing, in the se veral Committees, the projected law rrl4tive to the suppreninn of seditious cries. This business occupied them until five o'clock. An Evening Paper st , tes, that one of the Commit tees has alread♦ expressed its opinion that the project of this law is unconsthational, and has stated, that when the delibetationa shall have acquired morespuh licity, it will make known the particular motives liCil hive been adduced in this Committee. _ .....

CL/ISZiOIV, OCR jBER 10. Yesterday, Mr. SADLER, the younger, ascended in a balloon from the ground behind tL•e Grammar School, in this city, but under very unfavourable cir cumstances in respect of weather. The forenoon lowered very much, and about twelve o'clock it began to rain, and continued to do so with more or less violence till after the ascension had taken place. Not withstanding these impediments, the concourse of people assembled to witness this interesting exhibition was immense. At an early hour. the roads CO Glas gow were crowded with persons directing their steps hither, while an immense number of spectators as sembled from all quarters, filled the adjacent streets and house tops; and all the hills in the neighbour ho3d. Two o'clock was the hour fixed for ascending, but the preparations not being then finished, the anxiety of the spectators was put to the stretch a little time. About 25 minutes past two, however, the' signal was given; and the enterprizing aeronaut rose w►th his machine into the air, amidst the enthusiastic cheerings of the assemblage. There.being little wind the balloon, for the space of a minute, rose 'almost perpendicularly ; it then took a northswesterly direc tion. Alter ascending to a considerable height, Mr. Sadler threw out a few bans of sand, and continuing ;fix journey through the regions of the air, was com pletely obscnred from the sight of the spectators about a quarter of an Four atter leaving the ground. The atmosphere was thick, and it rained heavily at, the time of ascension. No accident of any kind hap pened, as far as we have heard.. The ground was exceedingly well kept. wider the direction of the Letlita Puovoier and Magistrates ; and the military. horse and foot, did their duty very firmly, and at the same time very civilly—indeed, the orderly and good humoured conduct of the people rendered the duties both of Magistrates and of military very light. Mr. SADLER descended in safety near Milngavie, about eleven miles floret Glasgow, and arrived again in the city a little after eight in the evening, in a post-chaise and four ; atter u hich he made his appearance at the Theatre, and was received with three hearty cheers. TUFFEE,THE ROCHESTER PEDESTRIAN. This indefatigable Pedestrian still attracts great crowds to Rochester, and seems likely to accomplish his task. Until Sunday night he bad slept at a pub lic-house, called the Cos+ack, but from the noise nightly made by the numerous customers, be was un able to enjoy a sound sleep. On Sunday evening, therefore, he removed to his own house at a small distance, where he slept soundly for six hours and a half. On Thursday last he was visited by a Gentle. man on horseback, not Mr. DYER of Blackheath, as stated by mistake, but Mr. Dicicisson, of Long-acre, who communicated to l'ureks the advantage which he would derive from walking with' two sticks. He has used them ever since, and finds that by their means he can regularly ro over more ground in the same time than lie couid do before. Mr. DICKINSON also procured ashes to be sifted on the path he tra verses, wh:ch has had the effect to lessen his fatigue from slipping when the road is wet. Yesterday the rain fell in torrents during nearly the whole of TurFee.'s walking : he api,eared, how ever, in good health and sp:rimi L.:a the greater part of a boiled fowl with bacon to dinner, and drank two glasses of Madeira mixed with water. -He rested very (Amu in the tent provided for him during the day in consegierce of the rain. At half past ten last night, wilco the Post left Rochester, he had accorniii,hed 42 miles, aild was fully confident of finishing dm fiftieth abort midnight. The field in which he walks IS 011 the bide of a hill, and from the walking-grcund he is generally carried down a steep on a man's shoulder to Lis resting-place. In this respect the place is awkward, and TurFEehas not hitherto been :tole to obtain these conifotts in.point of rest ornourishment which his ardunit, task requires. . We are glad to Warn.. however, that a few public , pirited gentlemen of Rochester have formed them , selves into a committee, to make arrangements for his future comforts, and the pedestrian now goes through his task with fresh ardour under their kind auspices.—The following are their names: Won. Wood, T. Edmonds, sen. 'l'. Edmonds, jun. Payne, Year son, Wooboek, Chambers s, Cotton, Chambers, jun. Davison, 1 1 ,,ppe, Chaplain ' H. Mind, Townaml, Clules, Smith, Hill, Webb, Levy, an d Sharp. Last night no doubts were entertained that the pe destrian would accomplish his task. Another Match is to be undertaken, on the same Iround on which Turret: is now performing, for a large sum of money, and which was made yesterday. The person who is to undertake it is BAKER, formerly a Kentish trader, but now tying at Snodland, in Kent: he is to go 1000 miles in '2l days, and cont inence his task within seven days of TVFFEII'a ending. on the some spot, et forfeit the sum deposited. REJDING SCHOOL. The Triennial Visitation of this ancient and cele hrated Schwa was held on Wednesday last, by the Vice Chancellor of the University of Oxford, the Pre-. %idea of St. John's, and the VVaiden of All Souls, according to the app.iiiittnent of its distinguished Pupil, Patron, and Benefactor, Archbishop Lama On this occasion, the following young gentlemen, Messrs. T. Vateer, Hattitieurite, Srueasteit, nenotteer, Dcacoe, and Daesne, being six of the Senior Selitil trs, itederwerit an examination. The hooks, in which they were examined, were Hamer, aba t!‘a Medea of Euripides. They were first desired by the Visitors to construe rata a portion of each of the tititiveoreettioned Classics, and the fluency, wi h which they accom plish= J their task, as well as the elegance of their diction, made 4 very favoureble impression upon ir hearers, and aff 'riled a convincing proof, that tl:cy bath understood the original language, and entered into the spirit of the Authors, and into the grandeur anti graces of their seteiments and style. It= their hands these Grecian models lost nothing of their native ext.:Better, and ev e ry one e re s e h e seemed to give fill :issent to the ileclaretiou of H.'race, Omits bigeniutn, Gra is dealt ore Pit undo Al , t.aloo. This exercise finished, the Master of the Sams', Dr. VALPY, proceeded to examine them in the more abstruse and difficult points of Grammar and Criti cism—in the Rules of Accents, in Piesedy, and in EtymolOgy : iu particular, he called upon them to ex plain the nature of the Digantina, as n e.l hl Hoaten, according to Dr. llesnev's its pitoacis, and to epply it in many instances to the probable c rr.. iron of :he present ter. All this they pelf remed ver. readily, and with a great share of sagacity and in;;•••uity. Dr. VALPY having then requestea ail of the patty present to put what further questions they thougbt proper to his pupils, Mr. MoxcK examined theta chiefly in the doctrine of the Euclitus, and ir peculiarities of the Anapaestic and lamhtc metres. Their knowledge in all these matters was beerant expectation, and well-grounded and accurate its the extreme. He selected Mr. F. VALPY for an espl +na tion of Professor Porson's Camel reapectiug, the fills font of the Tragic Senarian lambic, and received lionit" him a minute definition of it, with all its limitations and distinctions, and a full illustration of it by Army examples. To some persons many of the questions may appear to have related to points more curious than irtiportant. Let it be considered, bower= r, that an intimate aca queintaece with the niceties of a language by no means deadens the faculty of discerning its more con. spicuous beauties, but is rather the acquisition of a new sense, and of a new source of enjoyment. An admirer of Nature at large can certainly never be come less one for being a Botanist, or a Chymist ; he finds, on the contrary, in every object increased in terest and delight. These studies, too, serve to strengthen the memory, tia sharpen the judgment, and to give to the mind the most useful of all habits, that of limiting general principles by certain exceptions. They lead nut unfrequently et en to the correction and improvement of the text. Above all the whole doc trine of metre is nothing hut a system of niceties, as it is by these niceties only that it is distineniiltable from prose, and that different metres are distin guishable from each other. Those, therefore, who sty, that they do not think it worthwhile to attend to these niceties, say in other words, that they do not think it worth while to attend to the subject of metre. These few observations have been indulged with a view of obviating the objections of the unlearned, for to all true scholars and lovers of the classics they are perfectly supetfluous. To these (and to these only the appeal was made) the day was a day of exultation, reflecting equal he nour on the well known diacernmerit and ability of the Master, and on the docility and application of his Pupils. It was an exhibition which would have been highly creditable to Winchester. Westminster, or Eton. The Visitors were afterwards entertained with a splendid dinner, in the Town-Hall, given by J. &seine, Esq. the Mayor elect, at which were assem bled the most distinguished Gentlemen of the neigh. bourhood, and of which, by the kindness of the Mayor, the young Gentlemen examined partook. The Duke of OLILEANS arrived on Saturday morn ing, at his seat at Twickenham, from Paris. Two hundred and sixty Officers, implicated in POILLIERIS insurrection, have been thrown into the dungeons of Corunna ; but it was thought that Go. verninent would not proceed to extremities against them. The Duke of NualoLK, we are happy to Iwo, is somewhat better. This morning died, at his house, in Bedford-row, after a few hours illness, Jettcue WILLIAM KNAPP, Esquire, LL.D. Banister at Law, of the Middle Temple. DUEL.--On Thursday Mr. MAWSEPLY and Coln. nel lumps had a meeting, accompanied by their seconds, in consequence of a dispute about t::eir re. spective game. The former had found a fox on his own grounds, followed him to his cover on the Colo nel's estate, and dug hint out. The Colonel complained of his breaLing ground, and regnired an apology, which was refused, and a meeting followed. They each fired two brace, without effect, when the seconds inter posed, as two shot: were deemed sufficient apology for one lox, and the parties retired from the ground.
