Si a—The following !insider coincidences may fur nini matter for refleCtion to the curious. It has been generally admitted that the human Empire, after puffing under/rims diferent forms of Government (or (even heads) was divided into la kingdoms in Eu rope (the ten hotns of Dealt 1. and Jambi), and that, notwithilanding the various changes Europe hat un. dergone, the number of kingdoms were generally about ten. It is not a little furprizing that the Heeds of the Famo e NAPOLEON, who has effected fuch a change in the &me Empire, are oxafily front, viz. I. NA POISON. 2 ossra, King of Italy. 3. Lou,,.

A. I. It having been underflood that a foot race was to have taken place yelterday in Hyde Park, for Sol. between two men of the names of Grinley and Cur. ley, by one o'clock as great a concourfe of people as ever were drawn together on a fimilar occafion, wen waiting the event : they were all, however, difap. pointed, as no race took place. The long expetted snatch between Mr. Weave and Capt K took place on Thurfday lull, at two o'clock, on the London Road, near Brighton. The &Rance war. half a mile, and the race so guineas, play or pay. The morning was fine, and the (pada. tors extremely numerous, all the beauty and fallsion of Brighton appearing intended in the event. The betting was extremely hkh at flatting. The Oadb were much in favour of Mr. WYATT, who CUM on the ground in high health and fpirits, and apparent confidence. Capt. kenmsor did not teem in equal fpirits with his opponent. Mr. WYATT kept the lead half the diftance, when he was ten yards ahead ; at a third Captain Kenyans , gained ground eonfidera..l bly, and beat Mr. W. with apparent eafc by ten y. Mr. y ards. WYATT with di ffi culty walked off the ground. ALLan Ramsay.—The Brethren of the Mafon Lodge of Bakrno, much to their credit, have pre pared a monumental (lone, with fuitable infcriptions, to the memory of the author of the Gentle Sheplvrd. It was erefled in Hobbit': How, from which much of the fcenery of that delightful palloral was drawn, in the pretence of a numerous and refpdlable company, affembled from all the places adjacent. The 'pee tack was uncommonly interelling, and, on the Lon clufion of the ceremony, the whole walked to Bevely, where they fpent the day in a manner worthy of the occafion.

The oats are nearly cut down, and Racked in m..ny parts. The barley alto is ripening very faft, avid promifes to be very produClive. The common barley is rather fhort in fame places, but reckoned full and well headed. The wheat is un• commonly luxuriant, but not as forward as it ought to be, on account of the late rains, from which it has not received any other injury, if injury this can he called. It is to be expeeted, however, that after Co many thunder forms and heavy falls of rain, the weather may now fettle and become favourable dur• ing harveft time ; this being the cafe farmers fay that the finaglers of the wheat hitherto in ripening would not only increafe its quantity, but very much improve its quality, and therefore they pray molt fervently for heavy dews and hot weather.—The Hops are in good condition, and bave been much benefited by the Juts rains.

Mr. Moore took offence at this erkitsr in The Eereburgh Review, probably conceiving its eenfure ondcferved ; or, at all events, exceeding, in its fere rity, the bounds of fair, jolt, and candid criticifm. He, accordingly, fought the Author; and we under. (land Francis Jeffray, of the city of Edinburgh, Efq. now in London, came forward boldly, and avowed himfelf the writer of the Article—A challenge was the confequence ; and the parties agreed to meet, yeaerday morning, at Chalk Farm, a place not lefs famous for duels, than Parnaffirs for poetry. True to their time, the parties, yefterdey morning, repair. ed, wi h their feconds, to the appointed fpot. Upon coming, to mark out the ground, fume difficulty arofe refueaing the exalt meafure of the dillance, whether it lhould - be an hexameter or a pentameter, of dtrBy4 or . It was at length, however, agreed, that the iftattee lhould be a ling illexaadrias line, and the parties took their fiations, at the extremities thereof. accordingly. Now. although it is certain that authors intend their works for publication, we do not mean to infinuate that either party wifhed to advertife this their joint produaion ; but the Mules have been given to goffipping from time immemorial, and the intend, ed duel appears to have taken wind. At fix o'clock, yellerday morning, Carpmeal, cc. companied by Crocker and Wilkinfrn, the patroles, went to the (pot defcribed. They difcovered the parties in a field, to the right of Chalk Farm ; and as they were about to enter the field, the feconds had withdrawn, the parties had taken their fights, and were jut% in the alt of pulling the triggers. Had one of them been difcharged. Carpmeal muff have been fhot, as he was exactly in the direainn. Young Crocker feeing the danger of his brother Offieer, jumped over a hedge, ran behind thegentleman, and knocked the piftol out of his band. Having taken the piflols from the parties, they fecured them and their feconds, and brought them all to the Office, where they underwent an examination before JAM es also, Efq. They proved to be Francis farrier, Efq. of the City of Edinburgh, and Thomas Moore, Efq. of Burrareet, St. James's They were admit. ted to bail to keep the peace, themfelves in 4001. each, and two lureties each in cool. the bfagiarate conlideting the feconds' condua a breach of the peace, silo held them to bail in cool. each. . William Hawkins, (h.: young highwayman, was brought up for re•eaamination. Mr. Birchen, of Colney, attended, and identified the watch found by Btigen, the hoefe patrole, infide the prifoner's panta loon, near his knee, and had nu doubt the prifoner was the man who robbed him of it on Monday even. ing the 4th init. near Barnet ; likewife three /even (billing pieces and two fixpences, one of them he re turned him to pay turnpikes. The prifoner was not fully committed for trial, in confequence of its being doub:fol whether this robbery was committed in Middlefet or Hertfordfbire.
