A TOUR OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT. towards the Needles, the distance appeared to be 10 or 12 miles over a fiat and barren country, that is as far as regards the objects of an artist, scarcely a tree or a bush to be seen—we consequently returned through the centre of the Island to Newport. Newport is London in miniature with a pretty large population. There are two Public Libraries—one called the Institution, which has recently been built under the direction of Mt. Nash and belongs to the Island Club. Here we had a real treat on our introduction, in seeing the London Papers, which are filed. They have also Lectures occasionally, And Dinners throughout the year once a month. The other is called the Vectis Library, the Roman name of the Island, and belongs to the tradesmen of the town, most of whom are highly respectable. Returning by Cowes, the traveller will be forcibly struck with the situation nal building of E4st Cowes Castle, belonging to Mr. Nash, this, and the seat adjoin ing, Lord Henry Seyrnour's, strew how much nature may be improved by art. Lord S.'s grounds touch the waters edge, and stretch along the shore towards Ryde and Portsmouth. West Cowes and Ryde are s' well known as places chiefly of fashion, that the artist (for whom the foregoing observations are principally intended) would derive no satisfaction from a descri , Lion of them.

In Boxes at Is. 1 et and 2i. 9d. On a tour a few days back through part of the Isle of Wight, I was particularly struck with the neatness of the cottage, and cleanliness of their inmates. Passing through Ryde, and on to Newport, our route lay from thence to Shanklin, along the Undercliff, and on to Niton and Blackgang Chine, these places being best adapted for the pencil, our object being to sketch the scenery of these romantic places. The best mode of doing so unquestionably is to travel on foot ; accord ingly from Newport, the head-quarters of most tra. velltrs, we set off. Our way lay tiller St. George's Down; where ee saw a concourse of persons, male and female, moving backwards and forwards in masses.— The singularity of these movements exciting our curio sity, we inquired the cause, and were told they were a religious sect just sprung up, called Bryanites, after their founder, no doubt. They have adopted a dress something similar to the Methodists or Quakers, and in some measure imitate the former in their Wee meetings and feasts. At the little village of Areton, in the churels4brd, lies Mary somebody- I forget her nstme-.--better kabwn as the " Dairy-mins Daughter,' who died at the age of about 32 ; she is honoured with a long inscription on her tomb -stone, for her great piety. This circumstance has given a celebrity to this little village Which it Other wise would not have obtained; and frequent pilgri mages are made by the pious and profane as the subject strikes them. Here you will see written in black lead, the names of Thomas Jackson and Mary Ann Passmore, of Staines, with the date prefixed, as well as many others, that time has more than half obliterated, but who, like them, were far from wishing their names should rest concealed. From Areton you proceed ! ' through a pleasant country to Shanklin, where, at the Crab and Lobster, you will do well to secure your bed—a convenience, by-the-bye, not always to be had here—we were lucky, and got tolerably good fate. The Chine, of course, is the chief' attraction, although the village is rural and pretty. At the mouth of the Chine, and on the sea beach, is a solitary hut belonging to a fisherman, he also is the owner of a bathing machine, the only one at this place, and with his Occupation and the liberty the proprietor has given him to cut meandering walks and roral seats in the Chine, the showing of which chiefly devolves upon his family, he no doubt makes a good thing of it. Tills chasm or chine is caused by the washing of the waters from the neighbouring hills, and must 'have been the work of ages, •as the oldest persons now living can see but little alteration during their lifetime. It is the widest and most stupendous in height at the mouth opening to the sea, and retiring back for nearly a quarter of a mile in serpentine windings, each side being thickly clothed with brush wood, briars, or ver dure, presents you with a new scene at every turning, always rich, wild, and variegated. From Shanklin you proceed to Lucknor Cove and Point, where at some period or other, there appears to have been an immense fall of chi Upper Cliff, which now covers SO or 40 acres of ground midway between the highest cliff and the sea, huge masses of rock thrown promiscuously in every form, and partially covered with briars and grey lichen, gives them an appearance of savage wildness but pleas ing to a painter's eye. Here the Artist, by varying his position, may multiply the views at will. The sea ii making rapid inroads on this part of the Island, parti c ilarly at Shanklin, and a little to the East, huge masses yearly falling; the Cliff almost perpendicular, and the sea at high water washing the base. From Lucknor Point you pass on to Bonchurch, where cliff, hill, dale, wood and water, all combine to render the landscape all that a painter could wish. It is here also the beau tiful seats of the Nobility and Gentry commence on this part of the coast. One, now building for some Lady, whose name we did not learn, is highly creditable to her taste in the selection of the spot, and to the Archi tect for the simplicity and neatness of the style. The Steeple Cliff, one of the curiosities of this place, is a n aural pediment, surmounted by a large flag staff. From Bence to Nit on I believe is called Undercliff, the upper part of which often threatens the traveller with nothing short of annihilation. Immense masses fall yearly from these upper cliffs, but being near half a mile from the sea, they form a sort of broken plain: ' Lord Yarborough, whO is considered the King of the Island, has here a beautiful aquatic seat—not Appolder combe, formerly belonging to Sir Richard Worsley, and purchased of the family by his Lordship. This place, Appuldercombe, is considered the most eaten sive and consequential in the whole Island. Near here, also, is Mirables, a beautiful seat belonging to Mrs. Arnold, and many other villas, the grounds of which, clothed with the richest and Most variegated foliage, skirt the water's edge. 'The cliffs produce a distinct echo, which we thought singular, but agreed to leave the cause to the philosopher. Further on you pass the little church of St. Laurence, supposed to be the smallest in England, only fourteen feet by six teen; it happened to be Sunday, and Divine Savice was performing; the labouring peasants were lying down outside by the windows, which were open, for the want of accommodation within, no doubt. Proceeding onward you reach Niton, the extremity of the island opposite France. Here, commanding a fine view, stands the Hotel,Where you at v suet to get good accommodation. The vill ige and church are about half a mile inland. From Niton you proceed to Sand Rock Spring, the waters of which are said to be tar"more efficacious than those of Cheltenham or Clifton for persons who have suffered from long residence in tropical or hot climates. The proprietor, a Mr. Waterworth, a surgeon of New port, has built a comfortable cottage, for the accommo dation of persons wishing to take the water pure from the well. A little onward you reach Blackgang Chine. Here is a stupendous chasm, opening its mouth as if to swallow the sea, of greater magnitude by far than Shanklin, but bleak and barren, not a bush or a blade of grass adorns its sides, but here and there a rabbit running along the almost perpendicular rocks, adds considerably to the wildness sf the scene. Immediately in the rear of this Chine is St. Catherine's bill, the highest part or .he island, and ficint whence you have a view across to !East and West Cusses, the bhopping in the Solent and 'Medina rivers. Poi tsdown and other's of the Hampshiye Lhai ts of hills. Oa casting our eye from this'eminence SLAVE TRADE. We extract the following interesting document from a Parlismen. tary Return just issued, under the title of K Further Papers and Communications relative to the Slave Trade at the Mauritius. Bourbon, and the Seychelles." LETT= TROY ILADAYA, LING 01 MADACIASCAII, TO HIS I:SCSI.I.I:MT L.S.ammo, 07 THE ISLAND Or MAIMITIUS, &e. Tananarivou, the 13th May, 1823. SIR, air PROT H .gaI have received your Excellency's letter, bearing date the 20th of February last : I hasten to reply to it, by renewing to you those ent . ments of esteem which yob have expressed towards me. I mast inform your Excellency, that ankles specified in our treaty have come into my possession even previously t, your letter coming to my hands : I am delighted to find with what prompt atteatim your Excellency has hitherto fulfilled all the engagements entered into between us. I received, under the same cover, the printed copy of your new treaty with the Imaun of Muscate: I am happy that your Excellency has embarked in this fresh undertaking, which will give an additional lustre to your glory and your happiness; with the most lively satisfaction do I find that this trade is destroyed on the western coast, whereby its total destruction a ill be effected at Madagascar; for the harbour on this side has often been ; a place i tifashelter for the fraudulent traders of the coast of, Africa; but I venture to hope that y will have some cause to be satisfied for the fatal I a ye l ls pleasure in learning from your Excel lency that four most gracious Sovereign continues to entertain fresh sentiments of esteem for my person: I shall do all in my power . to acknowledge them, by ad. tiering to the principles which characterise and dis tinguish so great a monarch. With respect .to our young men alluded to by you, whom I sent under your protection as well to England as to Mauritius, I have not the least doubt of their making some progress, tieing superintended by persons of merit, and especially when your Excelency con descends to attend to them whenever your occupations afford you any leisure. I rely with the iullest confi dence upon yop for the education, and for those arts understood between us, with respect to the persons sent to England. I learn with regret yopr departure for England,—a circumstance which will henceforth (as you observe) throw some delay in our friendly communications; but I am consoled by the pleasing conviction that you will meet with a gracious reception from your worthy Monarch : I am moreover satisfied that you will not fail to present my homage to his Majesty, and that you will accomplish, near him, what )ou have so well begun, for the prosperity of my kingdom : this will still add greater weight to my gratitude and esteem. Be assured I shall do ail in my power to keep up our pleas ing intercourse, and omit no opportunity of corres ponding with you. With respect to agriculture and the arts you recom mend, we do all in our power to leave nothing untried ; the power is not wanting ; but we are at a loss for per sons competent to instruct us. The principal object, therefore, is wanting; to sow the grain is nothing; but to employ it is a matter of some difficulty for a people yet in ignorance of many things of which they have never had any notions; we continue to rely, however. upon what you have undertaken, until you can complete your object in a more effectual manner. The cultivation of silk, though not very familiar, appears, however, to us, of more easy attainment; I have accordingly given orders, that all the mulberry trees which we have received, as well from your Ex cellency as from the Agent Gneral, be planted and cultivated with care ; and I venture to hope that, before long, we will have a sufficiency to distribute generally amongst all the people; for the first are already very forward. With regard to theisetty Chiefs yon mention to me, who retire as marauders into the woods, and who car ried on the Slave Trade at the time, whilst they neg lected their plantations, which °net to be the object of their first care ; these Chiefs, I say, will soon be reduced to a more proper order; I take upon myself to bring them together as soon as possible; a great number are already so ; and the few who remain will soon be brought under my obedience. Let nct your Excellency be at all uneasy on th7s point ; it is entirely within my power, and no means shall be neglected towards its attainment. I have leaned with pleasure that Commodore Nourse wishes to have an interview with me as in fact lam to be at Foule Ps Lit in the month of July next, he may meet me there. I shall be happy to see him ; and you may assure him from me, that he will be received with all the consideration which is due to his rank, and to his rep cable character, and will receive, at the sane time my expressions of respect for his . Britannic Majesty. On the subject of) ourirecOmmen nig the Missionaries to me, be assured I will do all in my poster to co-ope ,r.ate, by sincere eocouragewe;its, in the great object they have in view, ma will ne g lect nothing that may
