The fifth part of this most important and highly valuable work is just published, and it affords us considerable pleasure to find, from the nu merous list of Subscribers, that the British public are beginning to ap preciate its great and many merits. The vocabulary is more extensive, the definitions more full and ac curate, and the orthography and ortheopy more agreeable to analogy and sound principles than are to be found in any similar publication. Terms used in the arts and sciences are, for the first fine, in a Dictionary of , the English language, explained in so discriminating, precise, and cor rect a manner, as to supersede the necessity, for general purposes, of referring to any other explanatory work. It is this very novel and im portant feature that constitutes one of its strong recommendations as a book pre-eminently adapted for Mechanics' Institutes, and all other Sci entific and Literary Societies. 1110NOSYLLA BIC LINES. In 1806, a M. Rennet published a Poceigtic Anglaise, In 3 volumes, octavo. It is a work of considerable merit, and contains a short account of most of the English Poets, and copious extract+ from those who are most celebrated, with literal translations into French at the bottom of the page. Ilia favourite author is Pope, and be ranks the " Rape of the Lock" as the finest poem modern times have produced In shelving the many advantages which the English poets possess over the French from thettanius of their language, he mentions, among others, the monasyl. labic lines. In English poetry, ho says, four or five lines in every bun. dred will be found of this kind ; while in French poetry it is hard to find one in a thousand. Great force and great beauty arc sometimes pro. dueed by these. Ile cites the famous line— " And ten low words oft creep in one dull line ;" and from Eloisa-- " No ! fly me, fly me, far as pole from pole ;" the effects of which, he remarks, it is impossible to render into French verse. There is a passage in Milton which he might have quoted as a remarkable instance of this kind of verse. In the second book (line 947), describing Satan's journey through chaos, there are three mono syllabic lines together, with the exception of one word. " the fiend O'er bog or steep, thro' strait, rough, dense, or rare, With head, hand, wings, or feet, pursues his way ; And swims, or sinks, or wades, or creeps, or flies." J.J.W. PRIOR PARK " ROMAN CATHOLIC" COLLEGE. The beautifully situated mansion, heretofore so well known as "Prior Park House," is now a " Roman Catholic College." As it has been recently mentioned as attracting increased attention, from rumours that it had been likely to become the residence of Charles X. or of La. til, the ex-Archbishop of Rheims, some particulars of the preparations now going on, for the purpose of adapting it to a Roman Catholic Col. lege, &c. may not be unacceptable. It is a fine, large, handsome building, commanding an excellent view of Bath, and surrounded with admirably arranged park.grounds, consisting of between 2 or 300 acres, built by Ralph Alien, who was originally in a very humble capacity in the Bath Post O ffi ce, but who came into the peasession of immense wealth, in consequence of having successfully planned the " Cross (Roads) Posts." It was the occasional residence of Pope, of Fielding, who there wrote " Tom Jones," and of Bishop %Warburton ; but, in more recent times, after having been occupied by a Quaker, named Thomas, it long remained unoccupied, in consequence of real or imaginary defects in the title. About three months ago, Dr. Baynes, a Roman Catholic Priest, the" Bishop ",of this district, purchased it; and he is now busily engaged in converting it into a Roman Catholic College ! It has an immense number of spacious rooms, &c. and a chapel, forming one end or wing of it, and there are numerous out. buildings. Beyond these they are now building a refectory, a doe. mitory, studies, &c. in a style which will correspond with the plain and solid cha racter of the other parts of the original mansion, or " college." Upwards of one hundred men are daily occupied upon these works. The chapel is already converted into a Roman Catholic chapel, with rows of new wainscot seats for the scholars, a new organ, furnished by Loder. The old pulpit has been removed, and, in its stead appears a "throne" for Bishop Baynes, and which has a rich canopy, cushion; &e. The old altar-piece has disappeared, and a new marble one, surmounted by a tabernacle, is erected on its site. The marble is scagliola in the centre, surrounded with black and white veined marble. The marble is said to have been all brought from Italy. The whole is beautiful, and the altar-piece is exquisitely worked. The tabernacle which surmounts it was originally in Bishop Baynes' private chapel : it is richly and most exquisitely wrought. The further wing of the building is the residence of Bishop Baynes. In the centre of the building a library is form ing ; there are not only the books of the present, and the late Roman Catholic Bishops of Bath, but, amongst them, many presenta tions. Large portions of them are at present in heaps, till additional shelves can be arranged ; amongst them, however, are immense piles of publications, such as might not be expected to be found in a " College° library—namely, political pamphlets and periodicals, the " Catholic Advocate," " L'Amide la Religion et du Roi," &c. urging Catholic emancipation, the rights of the Roman Catholic Church, &c. The new buildings will be finished by Christmas. There is an intermediate house, prettily situated, that is occupied by tutors, as is the " Priory,* a fine and romantic, but old building, at a short distance from the Col lege. The old tower, or " observatory," on the summit of the grounds remains " walled up," but it is to opened and adapted to rcientific pur. poses. No where does there appear to be any want of the " sinews of war," nor of the disposition and capacity to enter into a formidable ri valry with Protestant instructors and establishments. At all events, " Prior Park College" seems likely to become an imposing and powerful Catholic seat of learning. GASILICK.—The charge for garlick and onions for the workmen employed in building the great pyramid amounted to 1,600 silver talents—tBlo,ooo pounds sterling ! See HE RODOT US, LuSerpe, 125. All those who bad eaten garlick, were forbidden to enter the temple of the Mother of the Gods. Stilpo, the disciple of Euclid, paid PO little regard to this prohibition, that he not only entered the temple after having eating garlick, but even lay in it. He thought be saw the goddess, who said to him, "Stilpo, do you, who are a philosopher, violate the sacred laws?" He imagined that he answered her, " Give me something better so eat, and I promise you to leave garlick." See ATI!EN.LUS, book 10, ch. b.—Purrs . reports, book 19, ch. 5, that onions and garlick were reckoned among the deities of Egypt. See also lithruicrus FELIX, ch. 28, and DIOSCOIIIDZS, book 1. HASSE 1.. QUIST, however, says, p. 290, " that gullet does not grow in Egypt, and, though it is much used, it is brought from the islands of the Archi pelago." Niebuhr states that garlick is made use of by the modern Arabs as a preservative against the deadly quality of their hot winds. —J. J. W. - - - - In " Andrews' Anecdotes," published in 1789, is a letter from a gentleman on his travels, containing a description of a " human curiosity," then residing at Lewes, in Sussex :—" This human curio sity is a Mr. a hbaldeston, an attorney's clerk, and, in spite of all popu lar prejudices against his profession, an honest' man. This you will allow to be a curiosity ; but that is not all. This limb of the law is mar ried, and has, at least, half-a-dozen children, all of whom, with as many 'couple of hounds and a brace of hunters, he maintains out of not a penny more than sixty pounds a-year. And, if possible, to increase the miracle, he did this in London for many years, paying every body their own, and keeping a tight coat for Sundays and holydays. But I I will try to explain this seeming paradox, After the expiration of the time which Dlr. 0. owed his master, he acted as an accountant for the butchers in Clue market, who paid him in offal; the choicest morsels of this he selected for himself and family, and with the rest he fed his dogs, which be kept in his garret. His horses were lodged in the cellar, and fed'on grains from a neighbouring brewhouse, sad with damaged corn, with which he was supplied by a corn-chandler, whose books he kept in order. Once or twice a week in the season he hunted, and by giving a hare now and then to the fanners over whose grounds he sported, secured their good-will and permission. Besides which, several gentle men, struck with his extraordinary economy, winked at his going over their manors with his moderate peek. Curiosity led me to visit this extraordinary party about dinner time. The two-legged party of it w.re clean, though not superfluously clothed, and doomed to live like brothers with the surrounding animals; Mr. 0. himself seemed and acted like the father of the quadrupeds, as well as the bipeds; and, as such, decided with the utmost impartiality ; for, Master Jockey having taken a bone from 'fowler, he commanded instant restitution ; and, on the other hand, Doxy having snatched a plum of lira from bliss Dorothea, was obliged, upon the spot, to return it to the young lady. On inquiry, I found that Mr. 0. was the yosusgest sea of a goW family, but small fortune, in the north of England, and that, having married imprudently one of his father's servants/ be was turned out et doors, with no other fortune than a southern hound big with pup, whose offspring has since been a source of profit and amusement to him. This extraordinary character subsequently resided with the ease family at . Croydon, in Surrey. PENSIONS IN FRANCE. A proposition has been laid before the Chamber of Deputies relative to the mode of legislating upon our civil pensions. This proposition will undergo immediate discussion, the committee having niade its re. port ots the 29th of September, through the instrumentality of 11. Mamba. A journal under the control of the old Government hes seized upon this as an opportunity to excite alarm in the minds of all the pensioners of the state, and the number of them is considerable. Such an attempt is in perfect keeping with the system adopted by the partisans of the fallen dynasty. To exaggerate the subjects of alarm, no matter whether ill or well founded,—to augment or props. gate the anxiety which may result from them, by investing then with frightful proportions,—to display wide divisions among the 1:411. querors on points where there are only shades of differentia e .. to alarm every interest by representing every attempt at reform as a project of spoliation,—this is the manner in which the advisers and approvers of the abominable ordinances of July are acting and ought to act. In their desire to see France in a state of disorder,—.in their notion that misfettane alone can restore it to their dominion, they trairfejm their. bops Into realities, and describe our political skim. dirk•, bats Met as they wish to see it. Their language id the inernenieses err irkkh we are treating deserves to be pointed out to public notice. M. Bois" d'Anglas had proposed to change the vegetations of the law of Sept. 11th, 1807, which determine the forms to be observed in the assignment of extraordinary pensions. The corn. volute has deemed It expedient to make a report upon that law. It has decided that every pension of that description ought to be a legislative act, submitted to its approval in the same forms with all other projects ; and as to the establishment of a maximum, it looks upon such a scheme as perfectly useless, believing that the amount of pension will be determined in each case by particular circumstances, by the nature of the services rendered to the state, and by the amount of property enjoyed by the party to be pensioned. Ins word, as in many cases the rules presented by the law of 1807 had been most shamefully violated, the tom. mittee hes proposed to submit to revision the extraordinary civil pensions, but only those granted since the Ist of January, 1828. The proposal of this projel of law, which is at once very simple and very clearly defined, has been converted into an engine to frighten the numerous pensioners of state, by giving them reason to believe that their position is precarious, and attar rights endangered. This is, they say, the commencement of a general revision. A few words, in the way of explanation, will enable us to show how little good faith there is in these alarming paragraphs. According to the budget of 1830, France pays annually more than 54,000,000 fr. in pensions, of which the following are the details : Francs. Military pensions ... - - ----- • • .. 44,600,000 Ecclesiastical pensions . ... 5,460,000 To Peers ancient Senators, rec" ... 979,000 Aid to the funds at the disposal of public boards 7113,000 Civil pensions .. ••• ... 1,500,000 Total . 64,312.500 To this sum must be added the donations of the peerage, the pensions of the donsteries, and the aid granted to different classes of indivi. duals. To wit-- Moeda= of the peerage ... 1,784,000 Pardons of the donatoeies ... .- 1,610,000 Aid to the clergy .0 .. 1,220,000 To the soldiery, their orphans, &c. ~ 1,290,000 To the colonists .. 1,000,000 Total . . . . 6,804,000 These two sums added together amount to 61,116,500 f. distributed, it is believed, among a number of interested individuals, among whom it is intended to spread terror and alarm by means of a measure which does not at all affect them. Excepting the civil pensions, which pn sent a total of 1,500,000 f. in a sum of 61,000,00uf. all the retiring al lowances, which figure in the above tables, have been regulated by laws, decrees, or ordinances, which belong to their subject matter; and we may observe that in general, in the allocations of them which have been made, the rights of the pensioners ought to be impaired, ra ther than the interests of the state. The greater part of the ministers since 1815 have been occupied with nothing more than by their endea vours to place on the pension list their proteges--that is to say, the men of their own faction. To provide for them, the most convenient method was to send into retirement the ancient servants of the State; and an attempt was made to reduce the retiring allowances to a mini. mum, to command the means of placing a larger number of individuals upon them. The old army was treated in a way peculiarly outrageous. The laws and ordinances were made to submit to every kind of inter pretation of which they were susceptible—they were tenured and wire. drawn in every sense, in order to platen small an incumbrance as pm sible on the public treasury, but not always for the benefit of those who were compelled to contribute towards it. IMPERIAL MOCAUBAS (LATE NATIONAL BRAZILIAN) MINING ASSOCIATION. A Meeting of the Shareholders of this Company was held on Tues day at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of receiving a report from the trustees, electing directors, and other purposes. The meeting connoted of a considerable majority of the shareholders. At twelve o'clock, Mr. Irving, M. P. was called to the Chair, after which, the report was, read by Mr. Barclay Mounteney, the secre tary. It gave what appeared to be a very satisfactory account of the Company's affairs up to the present time. It appeared that the true. tees have sought for, and obtained the sanction of his Imperial Ma jesty the Emperor of the Brazils, to the partnership entered into be tween the trustees, on the part of the shareholders, sad the owners of certain districts in which the mines are situated. His Majesty ex pressed his entire approbation of the proposed arrangements, and by his desire the name of the Company was changed to that of " Impe rial Mocaubas Mining Auociation." The report then detailed the progress made in draining and working the mines, which was very considerable. The mines had already a considerable quantity of gold, and the prospect of the result of their Niue working was said to be most favourable. The report mentioned the recent return to this country of Mr. Oxenford, of whose zeal and activity in the service of the company it spoke in terms of the highest praise. In the conclusion, it recommended the election of directors and other officers, and advised that the directors should not draw for any salary until a dividend had been made among the shareholders. The Cuatassaw, in addressing the meeting, congratulated them upon the very promising aspect of their affairs, and dwelt upon the obligations which they owed to the exertions of Mr. Oxenford. The report having been approved, several resolutions were then agreed to. The first was for the appointment of Directors, and named Messrs. Irving, J. R. Ward, William Morgan, E. Oxenford, and George Reid, to direct the affairs of the company. Thanks were then voted to the trustees ; also to Mr. Oxenford, to whom was likewise voted a piece of plate, value 100 guineas, as a token of the sense entertained of his services by the company. Mr. OZINTOILD thanked the meeting fur their approbation of his conduct. It was then agreed, that of the 1100 shares yet unappropriated, 100 should be given to Mr. o:enfold, at par, and the remaining 600 should be divided at par amongst the present shareholders, in proportion to their oboes. _ Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. Tuesday morning the quarterly sale of indirsa commenced at the East India House. Them was a pretty full attendance of the trade. Before the sale began. Mr. Wit.xtweow (an indigo broker) addressed the Chairman. Ile stated that he, as well as others in the trade, had had sent them the das before a notice from the East India Company, which he would read.-1' (The notice was then read.) It stated, that on that day there would b: put up to sale, in addition to the indigoes prevsly declatcd, about seven hundred chests, and that timely notice would b. given if any goods would be deelared. He (Mr. il'ilkinsin.) as well as the whole trade, had to complain of this proceeding. Ile contended that the East India Company did not do justice to the bay..rs by declaring goods tOr sale so near its commencement, when it was m-- possible to inspect them, and great inconvenience was thrown in the way of doing business properly in the article throughout the country. II•' regretted, as well as the trade, that they had to make such complain: s, and animadverted upon the departure from the old way of conduclim; the indigo sales, when but two declarations a-year wete made. 'Pic trade were much inconvenienced by these late declarations, and tl.is •e -mark would apply particularly to the January sales, when such difficulty was experienced in inspecting, owing to the heavy weather. Th:. whole taste regretted that the East India Company did not nunismiN that respectability in its transactions, as regarded the sales, which merly characterised their proceedings. (Loud cries of heat.) The presiding Director, Col. Bataxtr, said, that with respect to the complaints made against the mode of conducting business by the Company, he could say nothing. The regular course would have b„•r. to have made representations of the subject to the committee timl.r whose control these matters rested. Mr. WiLaixsow said that writing was of no avail; he had tr.,- quently written before to no purpose. The trade hoped the comp: • E.. would meet attention. THE TURF. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. TUESDAY NIOR7. The match left undecided when our account was sent of the Coupe this afternoon, came of thus : Match 100. First half of Ab. M. Lord Tavistock's Taurus, 13st. 21h. 1 Lord Butter's Father Longlegs, 71b. 2 6 to 4 on Taurus, who won cleverly by a length. The race between &Oast and Cadland was won cleverly by the fot mer by a isagth, after inking.** maids, at es tairombly geed pace : 6 and 7 to 4 on the loser, who seemed to us to be too fat for running well. The betting was very spirited, he gentlemen backing Cadland, and the regular men of busbies taking the odds freely. Paris rode the winner, and Robinson the other. There is no truth in the report that Lord Cleveland has. purchased Priam and Birmingham. It is now generally believed that Mr. Chifney has purchased Caleb of Mr. Shard for 2,000 guineas. The entries for the Goodwood races continue with extraordinary spi rit. The subscriptions to the Goodwood stakes already amount to 80, while the Drawing-room stakes and the Cup have an universally bril liant entry. His Alajesty subscribes to all the stakes, gives a plate ut 100 guinea', and has promised his Grace the Duke of Richmond honour the meeting with his presence. It is generally expected that it willibe the best meeting of the year. The Drawing-room stakes, the Two-year-old stakes, and several others of importance, close and name this week, either at Goodwood or Newmarket. The match between Ladybird (the Brown Duchess 611 y) and Mouche is off by consent.

I 2 ARCHERY. The Society of John O'Gaunt's Bowmen held their annual prize meeting on the Archery-ground, oa Tuesday last; and, notwithstand ing the weather was inauspicious, the bowmen mustered round their banners, and the contest for the honours of the day commenced at half. past one o'clock. The silver cup and gold arrow excited among the competitors a spirit of agreeable emulation. Two games, of six rounds each, were shot ; the first at ninety, and the bat at sixty yards. Its accomplishment occupied nearly three hours, which was owing, in some degree, to the extreme wetness of the ground. Prizes were adjudged as follows, and bestowed, with appropriate com plimentary speeches, upon the successful candidates, by the Lady Pa. troness (Miss kelmondeon.) The first prise, the silver cup, with the Lady Patroness's arrow, to Joseph Seed, Esq. of Lancaster, having achieved the highest score; second prise, the gold arrow, the gift of Mrs. Hesketh, awarded to T. J. Koowlys, Esq. of Heysham, who achieved the second-best score ;—third prise, the silver arrow for the best score of 60 yards distance , to K. F. iradshaw, Esq. of Halton. hall ; and the gold medal, for the most central shot, to T. Thompson, Esq. of Lancaster. The shooting, upon the whole, was superior to that of last year; and there was a considerable number of ladies and gentlemen present. The ball-room, in the evening, was graced with a greater number of elegantly dressed ladies than on any former occasion. Nearly 200 persons sat down to supper, which consisted of every deli cacy of the season, at which Samuel Hind, Esq. the Patron, presided. Several appropriate songs and toasts were given. Dancing re-coin. menced after supper, and was kept up with great spirit until a late hour ; and the company separated highly delighted with the amuse ments. The Marquis of Douglas and Clydesdale, and a party from Ashton-hall ; J. F.Cawthorne Esq. M.P.and many other distinguished persons, were present.—Liverpool Paper. REGISTER OF PUBLIC SALES, OCT. 6.
