HOME AND ITS REMEMBRANCES. This is the spot to memory dear, That tells to me a pleasing story, For here I shed my earliest tear, Here smiled in childhood's gayest glory ! Here a fond mother's gentle sigh, In fearful fondness o'er sae flew ; And here a father's anzhots ere► Watch'd every feature a► it grew! Hero youth and manhood anark'd my form ; And love my bosom first invaded ; Now, though 1 bag have lwav'd life's storm, find reeeseenbrance noes are faded ! Returning thus when years have fled, Though much of sorrow's mingled in it ; Though Memory mourns o'er friends long dead, Yet it is Feeling's proudest minute ! The tree, the hill, the stream, the cot, Where first my infant form was cherl,h'd, All bring to mind my former lot, AU call back joys I thought had perish'd ! Cemented with my trilling store, • Here may I close my days in peace; Here may I rest, my wand'rings o'er, Mil life and all its cares shall cease MILITARY ANECDOTE. The late Russian Field-Marshal BARCLAY DE TOLLI, was of Scottish descent, and was no less an ornament to military than civil life. The arduous duties of the soloier never made him forget the milder, but no less imperious obligations of the man and the Chris tian. Soon after the memorable campaign of 1812, when the Russian troops were pursuing the flying enemy, the Field-Marshal, standing one fine morning, earlier than usual, at the window, enjoying a deli cious prospect in the city of D—, he overheard the following short dialogue between the centinel at his' door beneath, and a poor discharged invalid soldier : Invalid.—Good morrow, Comrade. Is his Excellency stirring yet, t h ink you ? CcatineL—l hardly think be is; but what's your business with ham? Invalid.—l would make bold to hand him this Petition. Centinel.—Don't you know that we've strict orders not to let any one in with Petitions ? Itrealid.—l am sure his Excellency would assist tee, being per sonally knows to him since the battle on the Do let me in ? see how the French rascals maimed me .I'm a cripple for life. Cestinel.—Wen, go In ; I shall pretend I didn't see you. Thus-saying, the brave centinel, walked up and down on his post, and the invalid hobbled in at the open gate at fast as he could. But how to get an interview with the Field-Marshal—this puzzled the poor fel low not a little ; he had passed the foreports, it was true, but was still very for from head-quarters. In this dilemma he was half alarmed and half rejoiced to hear the Marshal, in a thundering voice, call out to his ordinary to bring up that invalid and the centinel at his gate. In an instant both stood before the noble warrior—the one confident of relief, the other no less sure of punishment. " What does this mean," cried the Marshal, addressing the invalid, " don't you know you have no right to intrude in this manner ?" The invalid only answered by casting a pitiful lock at his disfigured body, which look seemed to say, " I think I have right enough."—" And you," said his Excel lency, thundering at the centinel, " how dare you act in disobedience of orders?" Erect as a poplar, stood the Grenadier, without answering a word. The Field- Marshal now rung. and his Secretary appeared— " Here," cried his Excellency, " give each of these fellows 25 in my presence." The Secretary stated, ' and at last ventured to stammer cut the words, " shall I call the Corporal ?" Nc," resumed the Marshal, ei do it yonrself." Disobedience being a word almost enknown in the military language of Russia, the asto rished Secretary began to loc.k ruund for some weapon or instrument. wherewith tQ inflict the punishment. het steing nothing, he ventured to ask, " with what?" " With what ?• why with your bands," replied the Marshal, • " I thought you knew BARCLAY better— give each of them ,c 35 roubles—the Centinel for his j humanity--the Invalid for his bravery and sufferings." Great improvements will be added to the exterior of Drury-Lane Theatre, before its opening, at the expense of the Committee. The Portico at the principal en trance will be taken down, and an elegant Colonnade substituted, which will be continued from the corner of Viaegar-yard to the stage door of the Theatre. The play-going public will derive much accommodation from this tonvenimt addition to their comfort, espe cially during the inclemency of the winter. There have been lately discovered at Pompeii the re mains of several most elegant baths, consisting of entire vaults, variously decorated, together with a bath of Nvl.ite marble, capable of containing twenty individuals. in a chamber contiguous were also discovered two bronze sopha,s, and a large vase of the same metal. No Je3:, than five hundred lamps, of different formf, have also lately been dug up from the ruins. A dreadful explosion took place on the 9th ins% in ti.e powder works of Ripault, near Tours, in France. At five minutes past one in the aftetnnon, one of the rooms where the powder is granulated blew up, just as twelve workmen were coming in from dinner. These unfortunate persons were all destroyed in an instant, their bodies were blown to atoms, and some of their remains were afterwards found in a poplar tree 150 paces from the building. The quantity of powder which exploded was three thousand pounds weight. An adjoining magazine, which contained 25,000 lbs. was happily saved by the activity of the workmen, who directed against it the fire engines. The town of Tours, about eight miles distant, sensibly felt the explosion, and many windows there were broken by the shock. The estimated loss from the fire which some weeks ago consumed almost the whole town of Salim, is above seven millions of francs, of which only about 350,000 were insured ! This extraordinary small proportion of i-snred to uninsured property is one proof of the back wardness of the French in adopting useful institutions. three persons were burnt to death. A young girl has been Nand alive in a sort of t ave formed by the falling of some of the houses against each other. She had been caught there while attempting to remove some furniture and dress from the fury of the flames, and subsisted for five days, without light, and under the continual apprehension of being crushed to death, on some bread which she fortunately discovered in a basket that had been suspended outside the window of one of the houses before it fell. A ebtary public is said to hive **via 15,060 francs that had been intrusted to him, while he lost in the flames a considerable sum of his own. MANSION-HOUSE. A number of bantane persnns hgve strongly eaPreudd their sympathy for the condition .of the 3,000 cattle which are kept in Smithfield Matket,-from morning until evening, without any water or refreshment being given to them ; and several applications have been made to the Lori Mayor upon the subject. His Lord ship sent in consequence to a number of the most re. ' spectable dealer. and salesmen in the market, to know whether anything could be done to remedy what ap peared, in this hot weather, to be an extremely cruel privation to the poor animals? Yesterday, a number of salesmen and others waited upon the Lord Mayor, and after having been asked whether it was not practicable to have a sort of con duit for the supply of the animals brought to market? they replied in the negative. The market was already far too crowded, and there certainly would not be room for it. It had been said, that the meat must he, dete riorated by the want of water, which animals t xpe rienced during the market-day. They unanimously declared that they had never found this to be the case, even during the present hot weather. The cattle were generally fed on the overnight, before they were taken to the market, and they were also comfortably fed again as soon as they were token to the slaughter house, for it was found inexpedient to kill them in an exhausted condition. All the butchers and sa'esmrn were unanimous upon these two points: First, that it was not practicable, in the present state of the market, to have refreshment provided for the cattle there; and secondly, that if it were practicable, it would be ol little utility. The LOW) Moro& expressed hit confidence, that any improve. meat which humanity might dictate, would be readily carried into execution by the respectable persons who bad waited upon him. The parties then repeated their assurances on the subject, and left the Mansion-House.

ANTIQUIT118.•••-a113 person mho is in care of Kirk stall Abbey, about a fortnight ago, -discovered in the ruins nearly tsvo square yards of tiled flooring: in state of great pLrfection. Unfortunately the. tiles have been removed from the original situation,.bat have been ielaid at the entrance of the recess where they were found. Tney are about four inches square each, of different colours, yellow, red, 'brcisen, &c. strongly glazed on the surface, and some orthein gyred. The person who met' with them says, that che f joints as they lay, were perfectly close, and that the wholeasahibited a compact and level. appearance. The sailing master of a vessel belonging ton port on the east coast of Scotland, was, on a voyage teithe.Me diterranean, captured by the Algerines,,and,detained in slavery for eleven years; five of these-employed at hard labour, with a ball eleven pounds weight, .fettered to one of his ancles, till released from so painful a situa tion by Lord Exmouth. Returning to his native town, stifrieiently disguised in tattered eppatel, a toil-worn countenance, and an unshorn beard, he learnt that his wife, after passing ten y.eari in.. supposed widowliold, hadanarried a second husband; and that a son, left apprentice to the book•binding busier ss, now kept a bookselling and stationery shop, in which he was assisted by a daughter. The liberated captive sought nut and entered tl,e shop. and on pretence of'heing re cammended to bee, invited himself home with them in the evening, and there found his Jean and her new husband, enjoying themselves around the domestic hearth. After some circumlocution acrd prepaying the way, he inquired (naming. his wife) if such' a Woman stilt lived in the place, and that if she did, he had s me intelligence of her husband to communicate. The question caused the stranger to be looked upon with suspicion, as meaning in all probability to impose on them. At length, assuming the well-known look and tone of undiminished affection, he appealed to his Jean, if she did not recognise him undar all his concealment? The appeal was not made in vain: the recognition was on both sides tender and affecting. Oa. being asked, to which of the two husbands she chose to attach het self, tj'e i= Wife of two husbands" emphatically ex claimed that Willie.(the first husband) had been the be trothed of her youth, her first love, and the parent of her children, and now that he was, as it west, restored to her from the dnad, her choice was to his for life and death. The second husband, haring had it put in his option, by the real gudeman, to appropriate what lie could justly claim, acted extremely honourable, choosing nothing save a gold watch he himself had pre sented-to the supposed widow when he wedded her; and, on its being restored, left, the house, town, and that district of the country, never since having been either seen or heard of. The prominent actor in this little interesting drama has now a ressAl of his own, and is occasionally in the habit, in pursuance of his marine occupation, of visiting the port of Perth.

Uniift EDINBURGH, AUGUST Saturday afternoon, about haif;paSt three, eight con victs made their escape from the Caltonhill jail in the following manner :-.—One of Vicar cane] to a tut iikey to take nova bundle of clothes to wash, and contrary to the jail orders not to open the airing ground gate, ex cept tZhen two turnkeys are present, he opened the gate for the clothes, when he was instantly knocked down, ;and the whole'eight ran along the centre passage, the inner barrier-gate being also open, contrary to I ule.— ' When they got to the outer gate, they knocked down the turnkey stationed there, took his keys from him, and opening the wicket, got off. They were al. most immediately pursued, and five of their were kept in view for some time, but were lost sight of among the lanes near the Oibbet-toll. None of there had been got at a late hoar !list night. The followingstre the names of those who.escaped:— 4 • r James Mhchel4 ; sentehce of death-transmuiid to trawportation for lite ; John Sharpe, ditto • Walter Broomfield; seven years ; Hoary Gunn, for life ;Vklex.

ST HELENA SILK. The Honourable Company's ship Farquttars - n ar rived at St. Helena, from England, the 96th of February last, bringing Captain Minn, in charge,4, some silk worms; eighty were landed, with a small quantity of eggs; happily the ship arrived on the very' evening the last stock of mulberry leaves were expended. The worms and eggs were removed onshore, and the insects ate most voraciously of the island leaves ; since, they have gone on in an incredibly progres , ive im;)rove ment—spun their cocoons, and laid eggs to the amount of eight thousand—not more than six were b.,d, which may be attributed to the first moth being a female, and which had come into existence three or four days be fore a male made his appearance. They had been ex ceedingly oviparous since, and while tilt( Andromache was there, many hundreds of eggs were again hatched. The climate of the island being generally from 74 de grees to 82 degrees of Fahrenheit in the vallies, seems exactly adapted to the rearing of this valuable insect. Captain Pillon, in unison with Lieutenant Daniel O'Connor, of the St. Helena Artillery, Honourable East India Company's service, are indefatigable, having spared no pains in the care and treatment of them. The mulberry-tree grows all over the island, and lately many hundreds have been planted from slips, which arc in a promising condition ; the island produces two sorts, China and English, one of which is an evergreen. It is calculated, from the worms expected from the eggs already hatched, that in the course of a few months, should :he mulberry leaves not fail, for so pro lific an insect, as much silk will be prodticed as will be l worth at least fifty thousand pounds sterling. This in troduction of the silk worm will, no doubt, enhance the value of landed property there, give employment to an overgrown population,- from which much benefit must be derived, and the situation of the farmers greatly alle viated, as their state at present is distressing, from the onfortourableness of the lasr two or three years' seasons.

T RAD E BETWEEN QUEBEC AND CHINA.----From the - Quebec Gazette, July 14.—" The arrival at this port of two ships from China, forms a remarkable epoch in the annals of Canadian commerce. The Moffatt and the Juliana are the first vessels that ever entered the St. Lawrence 'from the immense continent of Asia, the largest and most populous quarter of the world. They sailed from London on the 12th of August last, left Portsinouth on the 24th of that month, and arrived at .Canton on the 24th of January. On the 24th of Fe larnary they salted for Quebec, kept company 20 days, and separated off Java, met again off tiro Cape of, Good "Hope,separated, and arrived the same day off St. He lena. After leaving that island, they did not see one unether, till their arrival at Quebec, within a few hours of each othera most extraordinary proof of good management, and the perfection of the art of naviga tion on bond of. both ships. The space traversed be 'them in ten months has been about 38,000 rnilec. The 'Moffatt is-about .800 tons, the Juliana about 500 ; the former has 9,941 - chests of tea, the latter 5,900, forming in all 15,841 chests. Both vessels are in high -order, and take cargoes from here to London." A steam-carriage, upon principles which scientific men.ceinsider as calculated to operate successfully, is in a. state of great forwardness in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh.
