MERCATOR. IDER BY Poisontwo.—The unprecedented mul- A of atrocious crimes is one of the most dreadful charac of the times in which we live, and proves that the demo nof the lowest class in soc iety has proceeded to a length truly appalling. Stewert and his female associate, who rw sentence of death on Tuesday for the murder of Robert , on board the Toward Castle steam-boat, on the rivet a the month of December last, appear to be monsters uity worthy of being classed with the incarnate de if the West Port. Even before his trial, Stewart ad o some persons who bad access to him that he had doss ad) learn persons besides Lamont, by administering what he called, in his infamous slang, the Doctor — `by poisoning them with laudanum ; and since hie. , be has, we understand, confessed to three mote 11. making eleven in all.

THE NEW EXPRESS OF BRAZIL.—A letter from Mu nich, dated 3d July, states that the contract of marriage was signed between the Emperor of Brasil and the Princess Amelia, third daughter of the late Duke of Leucbtenberg. As there were some secondary points to be settled, t►e Chevalier de Verna, the Cham berlain of Don Pedro, has arrived, and win remain till the Primus departs for Brazil M. d'Oliveira, the Secretary of the Brazilian Legation at Vienna, but who is for the moment attached to the Mission of the Marquis de Benbecula, came with the Chevalier de Verna, but left on the 3d, carrying the intelligence of the latest arrangements. The persons who are to accompany the new • Em. prey are already appointed. On quitting her native country, she wishes, it is said, to become altogether a Brazilian, and to identify herself in feeling and interest with the country of which she is to. share the throne. Some speculation has been excited in Paris by the loog interview between the King and Hargrave William of Haden, who left that capital for London on the titli inst. He is said to be the bearer of letters from the King to the Duke of Wellington and to George the Fourth.—Court Avulse. An Assistant Surgeoncy in the Service of the East India Company has, in consequence of the resignation of the gentleman to whom Mr. C.

Madame Vestris has returned front Dublin, having received 7001. for twelve nights' exhibition. Her engagement, however, was a bad speculation for the manager, inasmuch as the receipts of the house, for three nights, amounte d to 1551. out of which Madame Vestris received 1501.

Her son, however, (to his honour be it men tioned), assists her to the utmost of his ability.—Sundes Paper. Within the last few days an agent from Don Miguel has arrived in Paris, and has had several interviews with the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, who is said to be very favourable to the views of Miguel, and therefore anxious to bring about his re cognition as King of Portugal. According to the reports in the fashionable circles of Paris, the great stumbling-black in the way of ab accommodation between Miguel and Pedro is removed by the present disposition of this usurper to fulfil his contract for the espousal of Donna Maria • the chief difficulty is now to induce him to lay down, for a short time, his usurped authority, and to per suade the Emperor of Brasil to revise his late act of abdication, sod, after marriage, to renounce the crown in favour of his brother and son-in-law.—Court Journal. _ _ _ Mr. Murray, the Manager of' the Edinburgh Theatre, is le town, beating up for recruits for his carps ibussustiftse. having disbanded the whole of his old corps; Ms *command to them to so to the right about,' being propelled by the depression of the times—distreu reached even " Modern Athens !"

(the latter under the care of Dr. P. O'Callaghan, of the 27th regiment), and ten surgeons from the different medical establish ments,which have been reduced in consequence of the improved state of health in the islands. The crops had suffered considerably from a most unusual drought,scarcely any rain having fallen fur the last nine mouths. Lieuteuant•Ceoeral Sir James Lyon had just returned to Barbadoes from a tour of inspection, after an absence of two months. Exertions were making on the Bth of June, at Curacoa, to corn plete the Barham (the flag-ship of Vice- Ad miral perming) for sea, after having grounded; but from want of sufficient means to heave her down, the undertaking was found a laborious one. In one endeavour, by which she had been partly hove down, the tackle was carried away, but sufficient of her bottom was on that occasion seen, to show that she was seriously damaged about the kelson, 20 bolts being observed to have been driven out 14 inches, and the larboard streak forward to have been nearly rubbed through. As the Shannon frigate, however, had arrived at Cu rases, it was expected that her repairs would be effected. The Ranger had carried down a large supply of stores from Antigua ; and the Aracbne and Espiegle had conveyed from Jamaica all the sedateness that could be thence procured.

His Majesty's ship Medina. Hecla, and F.den, are lying in the river—the hiedina from a cruise. the Heels pursuing her sur veying engagements, and the Eden for provisions.

On this service the Seringapatam will be employed, until relieved by sume other man-of-war. The Briton, 46, Hon. Captain Gordon, will in all probability relieve her. We understand that all his Majesty's brigs employed as packets are to have their main-masts reduced four feet, and their main yards three—their sails is proportion. The tops are also to be made lighter. A court-martial was yesterday held on board the Victory (fisg ship), in this harbour, of which Captain A. W.

After being introduced to the Governor, they were accompanied by •% r. lUeUish through the establishment. The same pasty proceeded afterwards to the India House, where they were met by Sir William Young, Bart. and conducted over the museum, library, &c. The appearance of this celebrated singer in the City collected a considerable crowd. The Marquis of HERTFOILD gave a public breakfast on Saturday, at his Lordship's villa in the Regent's Park. Their Iwyal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Ctaasiscs and the other Members of the Royal Family were received, on their arrival, with the customary honours, the band of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) in their rich fuU uniform being stationed on the lawn. At five o'clock, after the distinguahed !tidier. had viewed the elegant apartments of 'the modes and the grounds, as far as the weather would permit, the discharge of 100 pieces of artillery wanounced the banquet. During the repast, the military band con tinued to perform the most choke pieces of martial and other music. Dancing shortly after commenced. and did not terminate until a late hoer. The Treasurer of the Ordnance has at length found his I I wa y back to tow% from his confidential mission to Ireland. Re port whispers that his services are required nearer home to conduct a delicate negotiation at present in 'embryo. We shall be much I surprised if, before the close of the present week, be dues not pay a friendly visit to chro„idet MR. BUCKINOHAM'S LECTURES. Monday night this cerebrated traveller commenced his lectures, in the Hopetoun Rooms, on the manners, antiquities, and policy of the Eastern countries. The company was numerous and gen tech ; and for the two hours during which his discourse continued, be was listened to, as he deserved to be, with the meat p ofound attention. He has since delivered two other lectures, which have not been less favourably received. Mr. Buckingham, we believe, is the only traveller who ever resorted to this method of ointment eating the result of his o b servations verbally to the public, in place of publishing them in a printed volume; and every tow mutt at once see how greatly these viva twee communications must excel in *leach y and interest . any written composition, whatever be its merits. especially where the person who makes this experiment is so emi nently qualified to give it effect as Mr. Buckingham appears to Ise. As a lecturer his merits are certainly very great. His elncution is easy ; his manner quite natural and agreeable ; and be seems to carry on his discourse without the aid of any written notes. Ile has indeed all the ease, readiness, and alacrity of a finished speaker. and so simple and familiar is his style, that in place of a public au dience we might suppose him to be addressing an account of his adventures to a circle of his private friends. He has 110ile of that ease, however, which degenerates into carelessness ; and he never approaches to any thing like tameness. On the cowtrary, though he is obliged, in consequence of his limited stay in this city, to protract his lecture for two, and sometimes nearly three lours, he never flags for a moment, but seems to gather new vigour. as he enters more deeply into his subject ; and goes nu, to the last, fluent, animated, and impressive. Yet he dues not critic, any anxiety to shine ; his sole object seems to be, to convey insult:nun to his audience; to tell them what they did not know before, and to tell it in the easiest and briefest manner. His style is accordingly simple. He does not go out of his way for flowery desc‘ipPions or embellishments of any sort, but seems to rely 'tartly for his we cess on the sterling value of the iulnrmation which he c otn imusi j. cates, and which is only a portion of that larger store which he has collected hi the course of his travels. • His acquaintance with anise eastern countries which form the subject of his discourses, seems to be most perfect; we were struck with the mastery which hr displayed over every pact of ►is subject ; with the fullness, the freshness, the vivacity of his sketcher ; the force of his illustrations ; the prodi gality of his details ; and the skill with which he disposed and ar ranged to the best advantage his exten•ive informatiuu. There are many travellers ingenious and well informed, who have perrectly accurate and just notions of all that they have ever area or heard, but who yet fail to give any distinct or vivid impressions of inte• resting objects; who set the mind afloat, as it were, among vague and general ideas, and there leave it. Mr. Buckingham is quite the reverse of this. Whatever be the matter on which he is discoursing, whether it be any point of local usage or manners, any interesting relic of antiquity, or any question of antiquarian research, he is sure to make it clear before he ►as done with it, and to bnng it borne to the standard of our ordinary ideas, by some ready and familiar illus tration. He does not seem to be much given to ingenious or doubtful speculations; yet be misses no oppurtimity of illustrating the manners and policy of the Eastern countries ; and, without being a theorist, be is frequently very successful in tracing parti cular facts to the general state of manners, in striking out an un expected light, where the mere antiquarian would grope in dark ness, and in thus bringing out tile rutionaie of many ancient customs, by reasonings that display at voce his research and hi. judgment. With regard to the Fast India Company's charter, on which it is Mr. Buckingham's object to treat in his last lecture, this is a question which leads to a wide field of speculation, involving many complex considerations, into which we do nut mean to enter. But his merits as a lecturer, which we willingly allow, and which went to be acknowledged in the reception he has met with, are indepen dent altogether of hi. views on those disputed points. His lectures have certainly given, as far as they have gone, general satisfaction ; and most of his he are, we believe, impressed with the ability which be displays in condensing within so small compass so much entertaining and useful knowledge —Edinburgh &avant.

Arches erected across the streets covered with purple and orange ribands, and bearing the words of " Protestants remember the Boyne,"—" Tee have been betrayed, but will not surrender ;" over the pathways an equestrian statue of King William was raised on high, under which the Catholics were compelled to pass, and in many instances to take off their bats. Not content with this species of insult, the Orangemen have broken the windows of almost every Catholic house in Brook-street ' Beggar-street, &c. and occasionally discharged a musket or pistol across the face of every papist who was in the way. The previous Friday was the monthly fait, when for a wonder our noble Governor assembled the police, and in some measure preserved tke peace; but, notwithstanding,m ity skirmishes took place between different parties on their way home. lam sorry to say the Ca tholics, despairing of an equal di *button of justice and protection being extended to them by our local authorities, and imagining, that the Government are going to leave them to protect tbent selves, are beginning to take the law into their own hands.— The Orangemen of Swadlinbar had a triumphal arch erected across the street of that town on Sunday last, but they would not permit a Papist to pollute the ground by passing under it a. they came from maw. Iniormation of this having here given to Mr. Joyce, be repaired to the spot with the police under his command, and cut down the arch amidst the shouts of a grateful people. Both parties then retired apparently sati.fied, hut the Orangemen sent notice to their friends in Lisbellane arid Nlaguire's-bridge, to repair to their lia•lataaCC ' • the Catholics having heard of this, were not idle on their parts, and (as you anticipated) a portion of them were well provided with wins and ammunition, but through the influence of some respecttble persons they were prevailed on to go home, but on their way the Orangemen, who bad assembled on the neighbouring hills, called upon theist for " cowardly Papist scouts. drels" to return and meet them. The Catholics did so : the meeting was truly terrific, as the leaders on one side were armed with mus kets and fixed bayonets; and the others principally with sithes, pitchforks, spades, &c. One Orangeman was almost instantly killed, seven were dangerously wounded, and the slaughter of the Catholics has been as great. The Catholics have almost to a man abandoned their homes, leaving their wives and fatuities to the mercy of the " Hell or Connaught men." An express arrived in Enniskillen about twelve o'clock on Monday night, whet' the general was beat, and the Colonel with four companies of the 37t1 turned out instantly.

CAIMILDEIO, JULY 13.—A rendezvous of Orangemen took place here yesterday, but had it not been for the great forbearance of the Catholics, the consequences would have been dreadful. The persons who took the most prominent part in the proceedings were the Bar runscourt and Clare yeomanry corps; one detachment of the Mimet went to Strabane, where blood has be. n shed. Sir It.. Ferguson, magistrate, stopped here for a short time this morning, but although be saw an Orange arch erecting, be did not interfere. Party spirit rages here with the utmost violence; the Orangemen threaten us ' with another procession the 11th of August, but if the Glivernment do not interfere before that time, the peasantry a►e &catmints! to Make au Jon to protect themselves, and the consequences may be dreadful. COOTIWILi e JULY 14.—Yesterday we witnessed one of the most violent displays of Orangeism that ever took pLice in Cootekill. Party feeling was never so violent in this part of the country as it has been since the eve of Peter and Paul. The town was all terror and dismay. The Orangemen paraded with arms in their hands, calling ou the Papist. to show their faces. Cuts Jl,Lecvnts.—The writ for Pare issued yesterday. and went down directed to the Sheriff of the county last night. Within a little funnight, then, the " fitful fever" of L'run•wickism must be over in this quarter.—Disklin Morning Resister of 7'kuradity. Accounts from Murcia, of the 2d July, inform us that shocks of earthquake still continue in that province : one took place on the 28th and 29th June, and demolished two houses. The Zoological Society's new allotment of land on the outside of the Regent's Park amounts to no less than seven ad ditional acres, which they have acquired upon terms which are considered extremely favourable. Among the Druses, a set of Christians in Syria, the women wear a born projecting from their foreheads called ranteers, twenty inches long, tinselled over with gold or silver leaf.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. v nrool., JULY 18.—Fair bitsine.sa has been done in cotton this week by the trade. but as American de scriptions are offering more freely, last week's pices Are barely supported, especially in the inferior qualities, w Lie') are id per lb. hewer, and at this decline some sales have i,een made in Nlaranham and Egyptiau. 300 Upland, 600 Egyptian, and GOO Brazil, are taken for exportation ; •ind 2,000 Sea Island, 300 Demerara, and 300 13eiera!, are advertised for public sale on the 24th A public meeting of the inhabitants of Paisley, which was both numerously and respectably attended, was held in the Thread-street Relief Aleeting-house, on Monday afternoon, to take into cowideration the propriety of forming an association, and thereby ruining a penny per week from each member, to fermi a fund for giving a bounty to any nianufactur, r or merchant who would ex port goods, and import grain in return. After much speaking it was put to the meeting whether the proposed saiociation should be entered into or not, when it was c nearly unanimously, that the measure was inex- Fidient. It was then put to the meeting whether those present considered taxation as the only cause of their sufferings or not, when it was carried unanimously, and with acclamation, that taxation was the only cause. We find in some of the papers a tone of despondency adopted, with regard to the approaching corn harvest, which we cannot reconcile either with the prospects pre sented by the wheat fields or with the price of grain in the markets. It is true that the stocks in the farmers' hands are low, as they have been for many years at this season, and that the harvest is likely to be a week or two later than usual ; but still we must insist that in York shire and in Lincolnshire, and we believe in all the other great corn counties, the prospect, as far as the corn and potatoe crops are concerned, is cheering; aiid if the weather should prove favourable for gathering them (which GOD grant), the coming season will be a year of plenty. In that case, a large portiere of the money spent this year in the purchase of foreign grain will be appli cable next year to purchase of the clothing ; and though the price paid per bushel to the fanner will be less than paid the last year, the amount of money received fur his crops will be larger, and his own family will be supported by a much less comparative drain upon his stack-yard.— Leeds Mercury. SWAN FUN ER.—Saturday the Gilmore, Capt. Geary, chartered by Mr. Thomas Peel, the brother ty the Home Secretary, proceeded down the Thames, on her way to the Swan River. She left St. Katharine's Dock . on Friday. All the necessary articles for bringing into cul tivation the land granted to Mr. Peel, had been placed on board, with live stuck, &c. The Giluiore is a ship of 500 tons burthen. Mr. Peel, and his family will, it is understood, join the vessel at Plymouth. CHANNELS OF TRA DE...EN 6 LAND AND FKA NC E. England possesses 30,000 miles of roads, nearly 4,000 miles of canals, and above 300 miles of railways ; whereas the territory of France, which is more than twice as ex tensive, does not afford 45,000 milesof roads, 1,500 miles I of canals, and 114 miles of railways, of which latter ';',l are still in the course of completion. ALLEGED FRAUDS ON THE REVENUE.—It has been stated in the London Papers that a fraud in the Revenue has been brought to light in unpicking the cases of which the cargo of the Curie Brea Castle con.- , sited, and that brickbats and other rubbish had been foiled in seine packages that purported to contain glass and other commodities, on which a heavy drawback is allowed. We have made diligent inquiries at our Custom house, and of the brokers, and have also seen nearly the whole of the packages and their contents, and we find that the cases and description exactly correspond with the ' manifest, and that their contents are strictly conformable to the invoices furnished to the underwriters, and that the , cargo, in the whole, is adapted, without collusion, to the Indian market.—Huntpshire Te:eyreph. As a proof of the unexampled, and, we will add, unfair eagstness that exists in certain,qoarters, to throw peculiar obloquy upon a certain individual, it is positively affirmed that gre4 efforts are making in the City to procure signatures to a round robin, de claratory of a want of confidence in the existing order of things, so long as the individual in The continues to hold an efficient office in the Administration The probability is, that this attempt will prove abortive; but the simple circumstance of its baying entered into the beads of the Wise Men of the East is too remarkable to be passed withont notice.—Merning Ciavaick. CORN—EXCHANGE, MARK—LANE. Jim. 20. Our market was not deficient of supplies of every kind, but having many country buyers this morning, and the weather being Father unsettled, higher prices were demanded, and the few sales effected were certainly at an advance of 2s. per quarter on the prices of this day week ; a great deal will depend on the state of the weather. for if the day continues favourable to the close of the market. the advance must give way. Barley is nominal in price, having none at market. Beans and Peas of both kinds were lively bale, and a shade dearer. Oats were rather dull sale. the arrival being very large.
