C.-1.- The fall of Trebisonde (if METTERNICII'S Journal has truly reported it), after the Erzeroum defeat, must sound awfully prophetic to the SU LTAN'S ear. Like Macbeth, at the close of the drama, fearful tidings pour in upon him on every side. PASKEWITSCII rapidly advances to the grand arena, cutting off the supplies of the Po RTE at every footstep. The loss of Trebisonde, with its granaries and magazines, is a serious blow to the capital, and her flotilla on the Euxine ; the Asiatic contingents, invoked to the succour of the PORTE, now partially intercepted, will avail themselves most willingly of this obstruction to regain their homes. Convinced at last, by this intervening army, of the SuLTAN's fallen fortunes, they will gladly seize the occasion so long wished for, finally to declare their independence. The P e te A LIE of Bagdad, especially uneasy under the shadow of power exercised over it by the Turks will be the first to shake him off, and preserve herself from the fate impending over the heads of their European masters. The numerous independent tribes of Armenia Major will now doubtless swell the force which, under PASKEWITSCII, advances fast into Asia Minor.— The Banditti Curdes and Druses—in fine, all the ferocious inhabitants of the mountains from Smyrna to Palestine, at the first news of Russian suc cess in Asia Minor, will slip from the Ottoman yoke, and assert a right to conquer for themselves. Russia, it is said, has been long secretly and suc cessfully tampering with those people, whose P at•• c nits are ready to strike at their Suzerain the instant they are certain of effective support. Russian Emissaries are every where at work amongst them. The warlike inhabitants of the Metuali, whom the Turks have provoked to the most inveterate enmity by persecuting them as schismatics, being of the sect of Au, are in readiness to revolt at a word. On the other hand the successes of Greece are creating emulative propen • cities in Servia and Bosnia, which Russia is turning to good account. It is believed, as the Imperial standard advances in Romelia, that the Servians, in spite of their Turkish guardians, will throw up their caps and declare them selves free under the protection of Russia. The resolu tion of the Greek leaders and their troops, to maintain their present advanced position, in the very beard of CAPO D'ISTRIA, looks like a mere manoeuvre of the President to cover his intended co-opration with the friends of his predilections—the Muscovites. The twenty thousand Albanians, said to have arrived to the rescue of Romelia, must necessarily have relieved the Greeks from the check she had to fear from these, her most formidable adversaries. Should this Albanian rein forcement experience disaster, it will as usual disperse; and the fugitives, regaining their native provinces, spread their discontent and terror through Albania, already but half inclined to preserve allegiance to the PORTE. Constantinople, we again declare, is lost—unless some signal act of PROVIDENCE in her favour save her by a prodigious miracle. But with her loss, adieu to Medi terranean commerce;—farewell to hopes of peace ! The apathy of the present will cost us years of war and mourning. The PORTE, transferred from Turk to Tartar, will become the womb of fearful danger to all Europe. It is not now we have to apprehend it,—for anxious to secure possession, the CZAR will hang the palm upon the walls of Constantinople, until he has organized his power ; and then, formidable in force, and strong in treasury, gathered by a new system of Government, established over the fertile regions of the fallen Turk, he will stretch his iron sceptre at will over any devoted region of Europe he may choose to covet. Now is the time—the only time, to arrest the calamity. Turkey can never be restored to strength. The very essence of her character precludes the hope. A military power, she, swayed by force alone: that power gone from her—she must perish piecemeal on the patch o f Euro pean land that now only remains to her. Abandoned, one by one, by her tributary Pachaliks in Asia, and sooner or later, with all the bolstering and assistance we could render her, finally fall into the grasp that so successfully snatched the Crimea, and holds it so tena ciously. Romelia, and the surrounding coast of the Black Sea, will be a delightful region for the CZAR, and his court of the Baltic, to luxuriate in. Now, if CAPO D'ISTRIA, under favour of an approximating im perial army, should deliver up the Morea to his friend, the longing CONSTANTINE, what a bonne bouche for his Polish Majesty, so long rocked in a dream of Greece ? How delightfully would the predictions of the cunning CATIIERINE be verified, while the rest of Europe, duped like ideots, in spite of the wily knave who directs its Ca binets, would look on with finger in mouth—pouting like whipped children ! We repeat—let Ministers beware. They may have accounts to settle hereafter. The game they have to play requires a deep head and skilful hand. To trip at a crisis is a crime; and incapacity being as fatal as premeditated mischief,will not rescue them from obloquy and peril, should they weakly sacrifice the honour and in terests of this already too distressed country. Why did they ever permit a Russian force to cross the Pruth ? Slight assistance to Turkey then, and a menace on the Baltic, had saved us from all we have now to fear. Why have they pawed and toyed with Greece, until she is rendered an easy prey to Russia? Nay, anxious to take refuge from our heartlessness and perfidy in her arms. Why, after deprecating the combat of Navarin, did they ac quiesce to tile blockade of the Porte ? All this is fatal bungling ; and the approaching Parliament will have much to question. Till then there is ample scope for mischief; and we fear the best use will be made of time to injure this country beyond redemption. The camp we always thought was st bad school for diplomacy ; we trust in Heaven some terrible indiscretion will not soon fatally co nfirm our opinion. • • • • • Saturday, 200 ini3J!(;r7icts were embarked at Ports mouth, on board the Sarah transport, Captain COLUMINZ, for New South Wales, (100 from the York, and the same number from the Leviathan, convict bulks in Portsmouth harbour), under the charge and tuperintendance of Mr. Amerrnaa Omens, surgeon.

We announced a few days ago that the Russian Ad miral in the Mediterranean had reported that two of the ships of the line were unfit for duty, and that this Go vernment would replace them by some fresh ships : we have now to announce that part of the force intended for the purpose is already off our coast. One of the Rus sian frigates was in sight yesterday afternoon, passing at the back of the Goodwin Sands. A n Eisteddfod, or Meeting of the Welsh Barde,was held at Newmarket, Flintshire, on Wednesday last, under the presidency sof E. Morgan, Esq. of Golden Grove. Many of the Gentry of the county were present, with their families; and resolutions were entered into at this Meeting to erect a mural monument, in the Cathedral Church of St. Asapb, to the memory of Dr. William Morgan, Bishop of St. Asaph, the great promoter of, and coad jutor in, the translation of the Bible into the Webb language.— Mr. E.

THE WEATHER AND CROPS. The weather has at length become calm and settled, and the temperature of the last two days has done much towards ameliorating the condition of the crops, which have been se dread fully injured by the late storm and heavy rains. Many farmer, whom we have conversed with are of opinion, that if the weather continue dry fora fortnight, the harvest will, after all, be early and abundant.—Dublin Freeman's Journal. • The weather has been very unfavourable for the ap proaching harvest during the past week. On Wednesday the wind got round to the east, when the horizon became black with clouds, and early on Thursday morning the rain began to fall very heavily, and continued to come down, with little intermission, till Satur. day evening. The crops are consequently much lodged, and fears are entertained that the wheat will be greatly injured. The wea ther became fine again on Sunday.—Ttme Mercury. The present season is likely to be very abundant in plums and nuts, and particularly of the lattsr ; but the mischief attendant on indulging in them is so serious, that too much caution cannot be exercised at the present juncture on this subject. Me dical men usually calculate on a cry.siderable accession of profes sional duty at this period, from the serious and often fatal maladies occasioned by eating, inconsiderately, garden products of this de scription —Tornio* Courier. Very little wheat in this neighbourhood remains to be carried, and we rejoice to say that, although we have not escaped In participating in the inconstant state of the weather, which ap pears to have inflicted some misch'ef elsewhere, yet the quality of the grain has not been in the least injured by the frequent and oc casionally heavy showers which have fallen. The few simples of new wheat brought to our market last week were perfectly hard, and fit for immediate grinding. The meadows, in almost all direc tions, exhibit the extraordinary appearance, at this late season, of hay-making operations, and every where heavy crops of grass ap pear on lands which, at the customary period for mowing, were not worth passing over with the scythe. The cutting of barley has commenced, and amply supports the opinion expressed in our last of its amended condition.— Tonga* Courier. At the moment we write harvest labour is going busily forward, and in a wide circuit around Dumfries the sickle is seen gleaming in hundreds of fields. The sight I. delightful...lld, after all that has passed, and amidst the nunieious attempts so impiously made to give a political twist and leaning to the seasons, we still hunihly trust that those who sowed in hope will reap in joy, and that, before the lapse of many weeks, little will be heard save one universal sentiment of gratitude to the gracious and glorious Gou of Harvests. Though a considerable quantity of grain was cut in the end of last week, yesterday was our first market for shearers. About 200 persons attended, all cf whom, we believe, were en gaged at wages varying from 18d. to near St.—perhaps according to the distance from town, and the time the masters went into the market.—Dvisfries Courier. A gentleman in the city of Edinburgh is in posses sion of the cap which the Earl of Aygyll, who was beheaded in 1685 upon an iniquitous sentence, wore upon the scaffold. It is of white satin, lined with linen, and having a border beautifully wrought. It is also much stained with the blood which flowed from the veins of the noble martyr. The late King, GEORGE 111. is said to have asked the late Lord EeLzanoaoustm, when attending the levee atter his ap pointment to the office of Attorney General, " Mr. Law, have you eve! been in Parliament r The answer was in the negative. " That is right; my Attorney General ought not to have been in Parliament ; for then, you, know, he is not obliged to eat his own words."—lkraonat and Literary Memorials. Bishop Burnet, in his charge to the Clergy of his Diocese, used to he extremely vehement its his exclamation against Pluralities. In his irat visitation to Salisbury, he urged the autbo thority of Saint Bernard, who, being consulted by one of his fol lowers, whether be might accept of two benekea. replied, " And how will you be able to serve them both?" " I intend (answered the Priest) to officiate in one of them by Deputy." " Will your deputy suffer eternal punishment fur you too?" asked the Saint. " Believe me, you may serve your cure by proxy, but you must suffer the penalty in person." This anecdote is said to have made such an impression on a Mr. Kelsey—a pious and worthy Clergy man then present—that he immediately resigned the Rectory of Bentertoo s in Berkshire, worth lOW. a year, which be then held, with one of greater value. , LITERATURE, FINE ARTS, DRArc7A, THEMATHENIATICti OF 51USIC. It is related by :dactobius that the cl. ligneous noise of smiths' hammers gave rise to the science 01 music. Pythagoras discovered that the sounds proceeding from the smith's hammers or,. te e i t h er more grave or more acute according as the hammers were more 0, less ponderous. From such a beginning, suggested by sense or memory, without the primary aid or the imagination. did Pytha goras invent one of the most delightful of the seiritces, and by combining it with the mathematics, rendered it susceptible of the most rigorous demonstration. Harmony, or the result of the combination of three or more simple musical sounds striking the ear altogether, is said, however, not to have bees known by the ancients. Although they have afforded us instances of several instruments or voices being joined by them in consonance, yet the result was net a distinct melody produced by each performer, but octaves or unisons at each Dote, and consequently the same individual melody. Sound arises from the vibratious of elastic bodies communicating those vibrations to the air, from which these are again transmitted to our sense of hearing. When the vibrations are isochroanus, the sound is called musical, and is of the same pitch ; but it is said to be more acute. sharper, or higher than any other sound whose vi brat' are slower ; and graver, flatter, or lowtr than any other sound whose vibrations are quicker. Whatever, therefore, be the difference of several strings with regard to length, thickness, density, and tension, or, of other so ourous bodies, vibrating all together. in equal times, the sounds produced will all be of the same pitch, and they are, for this reason, denominated unisons. Two musical strings, having the ume thickness, density, and tension, sod differing in length only, will have the time. of their single vibrations, in the ratio of their lengths Hence it follows, that by comparing the Ennuis of 2334 5 8 9 3. 4, 5. S. 6,9, 10. of a musical string, respectively, with the sound of the whole string, we shall, on each comparison, acquire the idea% of the in tervals of two ui.tinct sounds. the Moyle vibrations of which are in the ra.io of 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 3 to 5, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, 8 to 9, ? to 10, &r.

The projected erection of the above institution in the neigh bourboud of the New-road, near to Battle-bridge, has given rt... to many statements, none of which are correct. The Panarmonion, which has been projected by Signor Lanza, the eminent dosing master, will be comprised of an academic theatre —an elegant sub-cription theatre—a grand panorama—a apaciau. and splendidly ornamented garden—a grand assembly and con cert room—a spacious exhibition room—and numerous leading reonu and refectories. A dramatic school, where the pupils of Signor Lanza will be taught singing, elocution, dancing. &c. will alms be attached to, although apart from, the Royal Panarmonlon. —The building will front the New-road, and will be bounded on the west by Argyll-street, and on the east by Liverpool street. The front view of the institution will present one of the most splendid and dusk elevations. ct.mprising the Tuscan and Doric orders of architecture, surmounted by a dome and orna mental figures, that this Metropolis abounds with. This, too, will be the entrance to the evening subscription theatre, which will be elegantly and tastefully fitted up for the accommodation of about 300 persons. There will be no gallery. nor will roomy be taken at the doors; but subscriptions for the private and dress boxes and pit can be entered fur the night. In the drys* circle a most splendid box will be fitted up fur the express re ception of his MAJESTY (who has, we hear, graciously conde scended to patronise the Institution) and the Royal Family, which will be used on no other occasion but when honoured with the Royal presence. Another box will be fitted up for the Lord Chamberlain and his suite ; and a third will be set up for the use of the Metropolitan and Provincial Managers of Theatres, who will have free admission upon all occasions to witness the display of th.t talent which it may be their desire to obtain. The entertain ments to he represented are to comprehend operas and gr.rid haslet performances, and the theatre will remain open the whole yea:. The expense of the building, it is estimated, will be ►omethtttg be yond £30,000, £20,000 of which are being raised by hoods, '2OO of which will be £5O racks, and 400 £23 each, bearing interest at five per cent. It therefore is in great measure a stational under taking. and consequently merits, what we hive no doubt it will receive, public patronage and support. ASTRONOMY.
