The publiestion.of .Dr. Douglas has king made the • Letters and Diary of Heavy Earl. of Clarendon familiar to a persons who have investigated the history of the eventfol period whkh preceded the Revolution. The matetiale; valuable in themselves, became infinitely more so from the pains which were taken in their selec tion and arrangement by the accomplished and impar t tial Biala, of Salisbury, and his work has always been justly considered as one of the most authentic and im portanrof the many curious collections which contain the history of the events of that interesting time. A • • -considerable portion of the letters and the diary were pointed by Dr. Douglas from copies which had been in the possession of Lord Clarendon, and had been pre. served by some persons connected with his family. In some respects they were consequently incorrect, and in others they were deficient. Mr. Upcott, to whosegood . • fortune and indefatigable exertions we are already in debted for the Evelyn Memoirs, and other discoveries of a similar nature, obtained a great mass of papers belonging to Laurence Hyde, Earl of Rochester, from • a lady who eas connected with the family of that no bleman. On inspecting them, he discovered that they cootaised the originals of the copies which had been used by Dr. Douglas, as well as a very considerable quantity , of docurneets which bad never before been • published. The fotmer work haying become somewhat • rare, it was thought that a new edition of it, in which should be contained the recent discoveries of Mr. Up cott, would be acceptable to the public, and the volumes b• efore us have accordingly becubrought out under the -care of Mr. S nger, whose antiquarian and historical knowledge qualifies him very well for the task he has undertaken. The correspondence of Lord Clarendon, or of his brother, are not distinguished by any extraordinary literary merit; but as the letters contain in detail, and without either affectation or reserve, the writers' opi nions on the affairs of the time to which they relate, they cast a great light upon the varying intrigues and momentous events of that period. The diAries, too, although they were evidently intended for no eyes but' theirs who penned them, are curious evidences of the 'effect which the circumstances of the times produced upon the persons who . acted in them. The justice of the stand whielethe people of this country made against one of the most dangerous and at the same time the most contemptible of their monarchs is proved beyond the • possibility of cavil 'or question; and if any excuse were emitted for the resolute lengths to which• they went, thesepapers would furnish such excuse.. " All that we boast of as Englishmen,"ays Dr. Douglas in the re marks which he prefixed to the original publication of the letters, "we owe to the Revolution. While we enjoy the invaluable blessings of civil and religious liberty, we shall read mere with satisfaCtion the most authentic'account of the strange attempts of James to establish lawless despotism, and to introduce odious superstition, which has yet appeared; and while we have the fullest view of the dangers escaped, it will be no small addition to the value of the.present collection, that it confirms many important facts, which throw light on the conduct of those pat-iota who had the honesty to resist a tyrant, and happily to succeed in their glorious attempt." The most valuable part of Lord Clarendon's cot. respondence is that which consists of his letters from Ireland during the period that he was Lord Lientenaet there. They display the attempts which were made day by day to carry into effect James's favourite scheme of establishing the Roman Catholic religion there, and prove that in accomplishing this object he considered the most flagrant violation of the laws and of all Con stitutional principles as mere trifles. His own letters, and still mote the conduct of his favourite and confi * dent, D'ck Talbot, the bold add bad Lord Tyrconnel, afford the most unequivocal testimony of this fact. Ijs one of Lord Clareudon's letters he describes his first ie. ' terview ie . Ireland with Lord Tyrconnel, who was seat there to 'be "Viceroy over him;', and although he writs under , feelidgs of .chagrin which he scarcely at. teQnpti tosonceal, the destription is characteristic and Mack More animated thin must of his efforts this way. It seems that Lord Tyrconnel had acquired the Irish ~.- -1 and soldierlike habit, of ialtulapaing his discourse *as blasphemies and implecatjilis4 sod swore eves" mosnieg as many oaths as would, in Ciboria's time, limit**. sumed the estate of a co untry aEt:demon. W.th omit. , titode of G—d he said to Lord Ciarenoesail " Yrrts most know, my Lord, the King,viho is a Itomee 'Catholic, is resolved to employ his subjects oI that tp.. ligips, as you will find by 'the letters I hsve broug t you, and therefore some Trost be put nut to make room •fiir such as the King likes; and I can tell you another thing,—the King will not keep .one man in his servioe who ever served the usurpers. The efforts which James 'Made to bring. about . the conversion of his Lord Lieutenant failing, he was dis til:6d by the less scrupulous Lord TyrconneL The particulars of a conference between the King and Lord Rochester, his conversation with Barillon, and with the Bishop of Madanra, each to the same effect, are very curious, and shew the length towhich the infatuated Monarch was prepared to go for the purpose of accom• plishing his designs. Some of the particulars relating to Ireland are extra ordinary, from the similarity which they possess to the 'descriptions of more modern visitors to that country, 'Which is, and has been, and will be for ever totally dif ferent from all other nations in the world. The follow ing extract from one of Lord Clarendon's letters might, with very slight alterations, be made to pass for a much more recent account of the country and the people to which it refers: - _ " It is called but twenty miles from Dublin hither,(tise Con of Kildare), hot it is fun as far as from London to Reading. is, indeed, a noble country, and the common where the rate is held is meth finer turf than Newmarket. and infiaitely larger; but it Is Wild to see the people--j mean the natives. Seek proper lusty tel. lows, poor, aknost naked, but will work never but when they are ready to starve; and whets they have got three or four days wages, will theta walk about idly till that be gone; and if they cannot them presently ler-Into wort, as perhaps at that moment their next neighbour his a/thing to employ theist in, then they weal. Their women, in the mean time, do nothing, not so much as spin or knit, but have a CQW, two or three. &mettle' to the bigots, of their ground, which they milk, and upon that they live; and no sort of improvement is made uponthe ground. Their habitations (for they cannot be called houses) are perfect pigsties—walls cast up and co vered with straw nod Mod ; and out of these huts, of about ten or twelve feet square, shall you see five or sic men and women bolt 40 as you (pass) by, who staud-staring about. If this be thus so Mir Dublin (as I saw several on the road) Lord! what can it Os up in the country, of which I shall hereafter be ablate give yea so account when I have an opportooky of making further jeer. Sim. I did not think to have written so long a letter. but the rain gives me klaure. God keep you and all yours." Perhaps the most curious of the contents of this ori-„, Rind part of the work is a letter which was addressed b the ill•fated. Duke of Monmouth to . Lord Rochester ' immediately after he was taken in the ditch at Ringwood. It confirms in the fullest manner the account which has been given by Mr. Rose. of the behaviour of the unfor tunate prisoner, and of the considerations which he, urged to induce the King to pardon him. The letter, is as follows: " From lib e ywood, July 9, 1655. " Loam—Havlag had setseproofs • your kindness when I bas last at Whitehall, Makes she Yaps now that you will net iefese interceding foe Ins wish the King. Wiwi-now. though too late, see. bow I have beau misled' were [mot clearly emivinced of ,that, I , wookl radio( die a thousand dodo tics say what I do.

This which I have now said, I hope will be enough to-en courage your Lordship to show me your favour, which I do earnestly desire of you, and hope that you have so much generosity as not to refuse it. I hope. my Lord, and I make no doubt of it, that you will not have cause to repent having saved my life, which 1 am sure you can do a great deal lo it, if youplease, being it obliges me for ever to be entirely years, which I shall. ever be.."l I have life. " For the Earl of Rochester, Lard High . . Treasurer of England." - The conduct of James towards the Duke of Mon- Mouth has been often canvassed, and the best excuse chat has been offered for his having so weak an ene my, who had so many claims on his mercy, pot to death; has been derived from the haughty and Intract able behaviour of the prisoner himself. Among the papers in chi present collection is one, which, if it does not weaken the King's excuse, rensotres frunrtilei Doke the blame a having provoked his fate by lofts own bits& nacy. The paper to which we allude was found among the Clarendon papers. It is suggested, but without any great forte, that the Officer employed to carry the Duke of Monmouth's letter was the infamous Colonel Blood; a circumstance which, if it were, true, would remove fr.m Lord Sunder:and the reproach of having sup pressed the last appeal of the misguided young man to his sanguinary uncle. It does not *pear who the Mr. Dowdier by whom the story is related was, but the ac count bears marks of probability, , to say the least of it : " In the rear 1734, I was in company with Colonel Scott, at Soulogne•air-hler, in France, when the Colonel called me to haw, _ and said," Mr. -Rowdier, you area young man, and I Unt an old one—l will tell you sometbiog worth remembering. When the Doke of Monmouth was la the Tower under sentence a death, I bad the emontand of the guard there , one morning the Duke desired teen to let Mm have a pen, lab, and paper, for be wanted to write to the King. He wrote a very long letter, and whet% he had sealed it. he desired mete give him my word of honour that I would carry that letter to the King, and deliver it into no bands but his. I told line I would most wittingly do it if it was in my power, but that my orders were not to stlarom him till his emu. i tiou and therefore I dared nut leave the Tower. AtAbbiut en pressed great uneasiness, saying, be could have depended on my honour; but at length asked me if there was any officer on whose Sdelity be could rely. I told hint that Captain ..-- was one on whom I would willingly confide, in any thing on which my own life depended. and more I could not say of any man. The Duke de. sired be might be called. When be was come, the Duke told him the affair. He promised on his word and honour that be would deliver the letter to no person whatever bet to the King only.— Accordingly he west immediately to the Court, and being come near the door of the King's closet, he took the letter out of his pocket, to give to the King. • Just they Lord Sunderland came out of the closet, and seeing him, asked what he had in his hand? He said it wai a letter front the Duke of Monmouth, which be was going to give to the King. Lord Suoderland said,' Give it to me, I will carry it to him.' ' No, my Lord,' said the Captain, 4 1 pawned my honour to the Duke that I would deliver the letter to no man but the King himself.' But,' said Lord Sunderland, 'the King is putting on his shirt, and you cannot be admitted into the cloven but the door shall stand so far open that you shaU we me give it to him.' After many words, Lord Sunderland prevailed on the Captain to give him the letter, and his Lordship went into the closet with It. After the Revolution, Colonel Scott, who followed the fortunes of King James, going one day to see the King at Me ster, at St. Geemaias, in Ranee, the King called him to him, and said, " Colonel Scott, I have lately heard a thing that I want to know from you whether it is true.' The King then related the story, and the Colonel assured him, that what his Majesty had been told wai exactly true. Upon which the King then said, 'Colonel Scott, as I am a living man, I never saw that letter, nor did I ever hear of it, till within these few days. '" Although, as we have said, the present work has no great claims to originality, it is extremely well exeuted. Great care and intelligence have been exercised in gettiag it up. A very extensive and curious collection of autographs has been added, from the stores of Mr. Upcou,• together with some good engravings of the Earl of Clarendon and Lord. Rochester, and of Lord Cape!, with views of Swallowfield and Corabory, the seats of the first of theae Noblemen. The chief merit of the collection is, that it revives an .excellent and interesting work, and gibes, is addition, the_recegt discoveries which have been nude of We Clarendon Papers. - i • , POLICE INTELLIGENCE. • -11A11$10/1 HOWL • Yesterday the Loan Nevus booed directions Wilts proper - to isquire late the extent of a nuisance which boa become a. serious ot late as to each* apprehensions for the health of numbers Of the initabkants of London. • It simian that for wine time past the authmeties at the Tooter, In consequence of the overflow it the large ditch round that build ing, have been obliged to let the masts empty themselves into the river. The Cervelmors of the Trinity Vogel ezpostulated against thispractice, as calculated to raise impediments in the river to the prejudice of the navigation, hat the tvscuations still took place, and they proved to be excessively oleos in fact, the common sewers emptielthenuelves into the ditch, various parts of the metro pails, so copiously, that it often became necessary to turn the Con tents into the Thames. The water of the immediate neighboorbood became of course very impure, on account of the vas accumulation of filth from that very populous pan of the town. Some years - it was the practice of nightema to drive their cart beads into country to be used as manure. This plan had been, however, great measure discontinued, and the nlghtmen emptied their carte into the common sewers, so that the Thames was sure to receive all manner of offensive matter. This was quite enough to raise fears for the health of those who drank of water subject to such polluticm —an objection which was certainly meth treater Lan the other, that of the obstruction to the navigation, although the latter was itself sullicient to demand invistigatl..n. The authorities at Tower insist upon their right to empty the ditch into the Thames, as common sewers are emptied into their ditch instead of the Thames direct, and they intend to persevere In this course. In ap position settle Trinity House and the Corporation. Has Lordship intimated his belief that the decision upon the tight must in all pro bability be decided in a Court of Law. GUILDHALL. A young man, employed as a carter by Mears.
