Accounts have been received of the progress of the GRIPER, Captain CLAVEAING, on board of which Captain SABINE sailed from the Nore in the month of May last, for the purpose of carrying on the series of observations on the pendulum, in the high Lati tudes of the Polar seas. They arrived at the North Cape, after a tedious eassage, the beginning of June, and proposed to remain at Ilansrnerfest about three weeks. From that place they would .go to Spitz herrn, as the second. station of observations, and then procee.l to the eastern coast of Greenland, in tending to make their nay to the_ most northern part of that unexplored coast, as far as the obstruction of permaneot ice would permit the ship to pass: It is intended to land the instruments for observation at the highest point they should reach in Greenland, and afterward. to, navigate down this hitherto almost un- Inown coast 'Guam:ads. Oa quitting Greenland, they would visit Icelanal, and then. cross to Dm theim, in Norway, when a founts series of observa tion would be completed, previous to their return in the worth of November. . Livknroor..—:.A Gentleman from Liverpo ol who is in London on bu.iness, states, that trade which is carried on at that port is truly wonderful, raticulaily with America; not a day passes but sine or ten vessels enter or leave the Ducks, from and for the New %Vol Id. His Majesty the Kix° of the Two Smilax*, by a Royal Decree, issued at Vienna on the 2Sd ult. and published at Naples on the 7th inst. has extended the provisions of his former Decree of the 28th of Fe bruary last, prohibiting the importation of the ma nufactured cotton yarn of Malta, to all kinds of manufactured cotton yarn, from whatever country itnray be impotted. Arltarentoui AND isigLANCHoLT CIRCUSEDTANci. Two Irishmen, named Russell and Braidwell, who had been engaged to drive 50 head of cattle from Belfast to Mecham fair, had proceeded with the cattle 4n, the evening of the 3d inst. within four miles of Hex him, on the west road, and were both seen late that evening by a servant beknging to Langhope. About One o'clock, on Monday morning, the inhabitants of the west turnpike gate were alarmed by Russell re quiring assistance for a man that was dying, which ob tained, they proceeded to the place, about a mile and half %%est 45 the gate, and found Braidwell lying in a horrible situation—not dead, but unable to speak.— The cattle were near to him ; a quantity of blood was :Os:, rear him, which was afterwards traced a con siderable way further west. Ile died within ten minutes after the arrival of the people from the gate. Haring procured a cart from Langhope, they re nio7ed the body to the gate public-house, and Ittis fa, being suspected of murdering him, was taken into cuu,ody. On Tuesday an Inquest was held be fo: e S. R E E D, Esq. Coroner, and a respectable Jury. Mr.J. H. Charlton, surgeon, deposed, that on el Arni nation of the body, he found no external marks or violence, but a severe cut across the right cheek ; on opening the chest, the breast-bone was found to be fract'tted distinctly in two places, with a consider able quantity of congelated blood beneath it, and a number of ribs on each side broken, amounting in all to fourteen or fifteen. The cavity of the chest contained three or four pints of effused blood.—' On opening the head, a considerable fracture of the occipital bone was discovered, in length two inches. On the examination of Russell, he stated that the cattle, at or near the hour of twelve o'clock on the Sunday night, broke away suddenly—that he at tempted to stop them, and succee,:ed in stopping a number, but that others passed him, and he then tailed out pa. Braidwell, " Jemmy," but receiving no Myer, be west is search of bins, and found him brearting with great difficulty. He then took him' by the coat and shook him, but still receiving no an s'een he became alarmed, and ran for assistance, which he procured at the gate as above mentioned. He could not say how the man sustained the injuries, bat sqppost.s that the cattle had attacked him. The Inquest, which continued about six hours, was held at ( lie White Hart Inn, Ilexhanz. The verdict was, " That the said James lit aidwell came to his death 111 accident, but by s 5 hat tucans uo evidcucc aprears." lIIS ROY4L HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF aLouctstme. TO TIM EDITOR. OF THE STAR.. _The circumstance of the carriage of the Duke of GLOUCESTEIt berm; stopped on the road from Caen to 1.1 v re, owing to a supposed informality in the pass port, for the incognito under - which his Royal High ness travelled being noticed in the Papers, I have been rather surprised • that no mention has been yet made of the reception his Royal Highres met with at Havre•de-Grace, which it is but justice to the good people of that place, and equally gratifying to Englishmen to know, was mat ked with great attention—a proof of respect which his Royal Highness is not undeserving ,)f, and to which I was an eye-witness. His Royal High ness arrived in the steam-packet Rom Honfleur late in the evening ; and, to the infinite regret of the pro. prietor of the Hotel in Which I resided, he could not be accommodated, owing to its being completely oc cupied, when he proceeded to the London Hotel, con ' ducted by our respectable countryman, Mr. JENKINS. On his arrival being known, early in the morning (notwithstanding the incognito) the Mayor waited upon his Royal Highness in his carriage, and had the honour of his company to breakfast at his house. At noon all the officers of the garrison, consisting of those of the National Guard, Swiss troops, and others, as.embled in full uniform, at the Hotel, to pay their respects, followed by the municipal officers, ntagis. rates in their robes, Catholic clergy, the foreign Con suls, &c. His Royal Highness frequently appealed at the windows, w !tile conversing in the most .affable manner with the various persons introduced, and thus gratifying the crowd of French and English who surrounded the house to witness his departure. - Royal Highness appeared in excellent health and spin its. The fineness of the day, the novelty of the occasion, it being generally supposed by the French that his Royal Highness was the King of England's own brother, hiscondescending attention to the crowd 'at setting off, &c. altogether had a most pleasing and gratifying effect. A respectable Frenchman expressed his great sur prise to me, that a Prince of. his illustridus birth should travel with so little state, and said, that it was a . great reelection upon the town, that so high and am iabie a Prince should have been permitted to have remained at an Hotel; but on my assuring him that it was not at all uncommon in England, and that the illustrious members of our Royal Family appeared generally as private gentlemen, and, except on state occasions, were not distinguishable in equi page or dress, he thought it w as 44 t r e e ex t raor di na i re . I might have informed him that it would, indeed, have been an extraordinary sight in England to hope seen a Prince's carriage start off with four horses, just from the plough, with rope harness, and a tall. pos tillion, whose jack-boots were of a size and: appear- ARC; likely to serve the same purpose for centuries— and spurs that not even the rust of ages had yet de stroyed ; though it must be allowed his smart vel vet jacket, with many rows of buttons, and fresh powdered queue, gave a smartness which made up for the mare appearance of the rest of his dress ; but not wishing to make comparisons which might hurt the good natured Frenchman's feeling, I assured him that every Englishman would partake of the compli ment thus paid by the town of Havre. He joined with others in politely taking nff his hat; as his Royal Highness drove off, bowing on each side, and added his wish, to the general esclarnation for in On voyage. August 12, 1825. P. The- celebrated Carnot has died, after a painful illness, at Magdeburg, where he had taken refuge since 1815. He retained, amidst many seductions, hts character for honesty and firmness. He was a member of the Executive Directory, and of the Academy of Sciences, and a Lieutenant-General in the French . army. He accepted of no conspicuous public employment under the regime of Napoleon till the French territory was invaded. He was born on the 13th of May, 1753. As Mr. Leverton, one of the Surrey Magistrates,' was walking with two Ladies and a Gentleman' throngh Mitcham fair, on Tuesday, on the turnpike road, a light cart was driven by a fellow so near the booths, that the party were obliged to fall back close', to the awnings. While they were In this painful si tuation, tour or five ruffians, some of whom were well dressed, met the cart, as it were, and pretended to save themselves from injury by forcing a passage between the Ladies and Gentlemen• and the cart. In violently rushing along, the ruffians contrived to rob Mr. Leverton of a gold watch and seal, as he was endeavouring to preient Mrs. Leverton from falling. Soon afterwards Mr. Leverton ascertained from some Bow street officers who were on duty at the fair, that four or five men, such as he described, bad imme diately after the robbery jumped into a cart. which they turned round and drove towards la nd m with the greatest rapidity. An ancient instrument of punishment, which was formerly used for the correction of scolding women, is in the possession of the Corporation of Newcastle. It is called the Branks; and, when in use, was found to be of great service in quelling that unruly member, the tongue. It may properly be termed an iron mask, having a spike so contrived as to enter the mouth, and hold dothe noisy organ. If the of fender attempts to speak when- undergoing this punishment, a sharp hint is given of the necessity of preserving silence. The Duke of Alba held as a maxim, that too nd merous an army was an incumbrance to a General.' These great bodies," said he, g 1 are less disciplinable and more apt to mutiny. The old troops are the bones and sinews of an army. The new are the flesh,' which increases and sets them off, but so far from adding to their strength, lessens their activity." Mar shal Turenne used to say, " that an army of fifty thousand men became as troublesome to the General; who commanded as to the General who opposed it." i Sir J. REYNOLDS used toielate an anecdote of a venison feast, at which were assembled many who much enjoyed the repast. He addressed his conver- 1 sa.tion to one of the company, but could not get a silgle word in answer, until at length his silent neigh bour, turning to him, said—" Mr. REYNOLDS; when ever you are at a venison feast, I advise you not to speak during dinner-time, as in endeavouring ,0 an swer your question, I have just swallowed a fine piece °flat entire, without tasting its flavour." PHILOSOPHER'S STONE ACTUALLY DISCOVERED. PROM TIM WASHINGTON NATIONAL REGISTF.H. IS adverting to the contents of the last Number of the American Journal of Science, we have not before noticed a very interesting article by Professor Siqi man, on the deflagrator of our fellow-citizen, Profes sor Hare. This instrument has led to one of the most brilliant results of modern chemistry. 11:: has not only fused the anthracite and 'plumbago, bin it is not too much to say that he hks actually converted them into diamonds. The following extracts from his Paper will prove the correctness of our assertion: " On the end of the prepared charcoal, and occu pyiag an area of a quarter of an inch or noire in dia- . meter, were f o u n d numerous g l o b u l es o f pci fectly melted matter, entirely spherical in tlwir Irro, h.;ving a high vitreous lustre and a great degi ee of beauty. Some of them, and generally they %vele those refr.rae from the focus, were of a jet black, like the most per fect obsidian ; others were brown, yellow, and . topaz coloured; others were greyish white, lik.! pea I stories, with the translucence and lustre of porcelain ; an.:l others still limpid like flint glass, or in some ca .i es like hyalite or precious opal, but without the nu. descence of the latter. " I detached some of the globules, and firmly bed. ding them in a handle of xvood, tried their hardness and firmness ; they bare strong pressure without breaking, and easily scratched not naly flint glass but window glass, and even the hard.green vat iety which forms the aquafortis bottles.—The globules which had acquired this extraordinary hirdness vr ere formed from plumbago, which was so soft that it Was Fr fectly free from resistance when crushed between thumb and finger." Speaking of 'the globules tained in another experiment, be observes. that "slime Were perfectly limpid, and could not be distinguished by the eye from portions of diamond." The experi ments detailed remove every suspicion which might be entertained that these globules were the earthy matter contained in the plumbago, which was yin fied * by the intense heat. They were exposed in a jar of oxygen gas to the focus of a powerful lens, and although they neither melted nor altered their forms, a decided precipitate was formed upon the introduc tion of lime water into the vessel. The globules of melted plumbago are absolute non-conductors of electricity ; as strictly so as the diamond. •He adds with characteristic modesty—" It will now probably not be deemed extravagant, if we conclude that our melted carbonaceous substance approximate very nearly to the condition of diamond.

We are happy in being able to lay a List of the Royal Yacht Club before our nautical Readers, who, we are sure, will feel pleasure in perusing the names of the members arid vessels com posing this most distinguished maritime institution ; by whose means naval science is gradually improving; a taste for the sea and its attractions is widely spreading; and numerous sea- I men, whose services to the country would otherwise be lost, ate kept in constant employ. So unrivalled are some of the Yachts on the list, in celerity of sailing and beauty of construc tion, that they have received considerable attention from Go vernment, who have lately caused to be bulls, on the Yacht model, two fine cutters, now employed as Channel cruisers on the Portsmouth station, viz. the ARROW, 150 tons, Lieotenant Powsrev, Commander ; and the BAstuse,l6o tons, commanded by Lieutenant Drzow, R. N. These vessels, the former of which was built In Portsmouth-yard,' and the latter in the river names, have for some time past been in the habit of trying their respective rate of sidling together, to the great gratification of those who were fortunate enough to obtain a sight of their contests; and it is at length decided, that the advantage, though small, lies on the side of the A Rogow ; a circumstance which re flects considerable credit on her constructor,tagtain HATe, R.N.

The under taking was a great one, considering that the road, from its hills, is one of the most difficult out of London. The pedestrian reached Birchwood Corner (20 miles). in ten minutes less than four hours, and refreshed, and started again at five o'clock. He proceeded at something more than four miles and a half an hour, and arrived at Westminster•bridge at eight o'clock, refreshed in St. Martin's-lane, and left himself an hour and a half to perform the remaining part of the distance. He had twenty-two mi nutes to ascend the hill at Highgate, and he did it in ten mi nutes very leisurely, and won the match easy.

James Rowley, the husband, deposed, that last Sa turday week a scuffle took place between the deceased and Mary Byrne, when he saw Mary Byrne strike his wife, and afterwards kick her violently. He forced . Mary Byrne out of the room, who declared, as she was leaving it, that she would murder his wife. Mr. Alcuck, a surgeon, deposed to having . visited the deceased last Friday and Saturday: thelollowing day she die.J. Since her death he had exan:ined . the body, and found no marks of violence either exter nally or internally. The general symptoms of dis ease under which the patient laboured were sufficient to account for her death. Catherine Joyce deposed to having attended the deceased till her death. About three hours before, witness urged her to retract what she had said re specting the extent of the injury received from Mary Byrne, if k was not true; reminding her that she was on the point of death. Deceased replied—" I commit myself to ALMIGHTY GOD, before eihorir I declare that my death was occasioresd by Nary Byrne, and here (pointing to her right thigh) -I' re . ceived the injury." • Mr. Thorns's Rose, surgeon, examined the body, and found the right thigh, and leg considerably swollen, evideritly the result of inflanicnation. There were no traces whatever of any injury. He considered fever and erysipelas to have been the cause of her death. Erysipelas'is fr eq uently produced in feverish patients by very slight causes.
