purity of rn? intintions, Ana repeat the cry which is now my last prayer—Long live the King and Religion." E'Z' ’. VALENCIA, SEPTEMBER 7. The execution of General Elio has left on all men's minds a deep impression. The scaffold was erected in the Plain del Real, hear a public garden which he had caused to be constructed while he was Governor and ruled this city: The form of the execution was the s ame as for any other criminal, with the exceptibn that all the garrison was under arms. An immense multitude covered the plain ; and at the moment the execution took place, insulting cries mixed with those of " Live the Constitution !" were heard. These cries uttered by certain individuals excited the indignation of the majority of the spectators. Among the rest a t r eat number of women were observed in tears. ~ W hen his sentence was notified to him, he received it on his knees, embraced the reporter, and several other persons, and begged that they would pardon hip] if he had offended them during his life. Never did a man appear more humble and resigned. The pride of his character had entirely disappeared. During the night it was necessary repeatedly to remove the Na tiOnal Guards who stood sentinels at the door of the Chapel. He drew tears from all, and those who were Most violent against him could not refrain from shewing sympathy. No complaint against his Judges was heard from him. His separation from his nu uierous family was what aiiiicted him most (most of his children are very young). The death of Elio has been celebrated by some violent persons; but had the people of Valencia been consulted, he would have been still alivc.—Journal dcs Deibals. FRENCH FUNDS, SEPT. 23.—Five per Cents. 92f. 50c.—Bank Stock, 1,637 f. 30c. The Duke of YonK visited the KING yesterday. Mr. CANNING had an audience of his MAJESTY yesterday. Tuesday, were married, by special license,, by the Lord Bishop of LONDON, at Hampton Court Palace, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, to Miss MARY CHESTER. On passing sentence on some male and female thieves, who behaved very indecently in the Circuit Court at Glasgow, last Thursday, Lord MEADOW BANK said— ,, Never in my life have I seen females so hardened and so deeply sunk in depravity. Your sentence is not yet pronounced, and it might be in creased in severity; but never shall private feeling sway my mind, or c a use me to aggravate punish ment."—This is a lesson for some English Judges. In the year 1780, the city of New York contained a population of only 30,000 : it now contains 135,000, and contributes one-third of the entire revenue of the United States. Such has been the rapid increase of population and wealth in this city within the last 44) years, that if it should progress, to use an American solecism, at the same rate, New York will, it may be reasonably conjectured, if no unlooked-for changes take place, at no distant period, rise in commercial importance with the most flourishing cities of the Old Wlrld. Among the causes which have so much con tributed to this prosperous state of things, r4ay be mentioned, the high advantages derived fro* their great canal, and from the universal application of the powers of steam to commercial navigation, in vessels of all descriptions. COLUMBIA.— A letter from Kingston, Jamaica, thlted the 25th July, contains news of some irriport ancc to the traders with Columbia. The following is an extract: The chief purport of this letter is to advise you that the official accounts of the total expulsion of the Spanish forces from the department of Quito have just been malted. The city of Quito surrendered to General Sucre on the 25th May, and Pasto submitted to the Liberator, Bolivar, on the 7th of June, after se veral decisive actions, whi ch have increased the claims of this ex traordinary man to the gratitude of his country. This intelli gence is so important, that I have to-day communicated the par ticulars to the Royal Gazelle, which you will receive by the regular packet. Matters are now ripe for all the influence that can be used with our Government to recognize the independence of a State which will now become daily more important to the manu facturing and commercial interests of England. The conquest of the Audience of Quito adds to the population of Columbia nearly 1,000,000 of persons. all animated with the best feelings, and the Republic may now be considered free from the Royalists, except the few men who are shut up in Puerto Cabello, whither Bolivar was on his march, and it was expected that he would be before it on the 20th of August at latest. From his-known rapidity, little doubt can be entertained of the speedy fall of this fortress. The articles of capitulation for. the Royal forces in Quito, arein .the Santa FE Gazette of the 50th of June, by which it appears that the whole of them surrendered prisoners of war, and were to be sent to Chagres, and there to be embarked at the expense of the Spanish Government to Cuba. We have already received advice. from Porto Bello of the arrival of the prisoners at Pa nama, and that the British ships Bristol and Fan Fan, were taken up at Chagres, to convey them to Ilavannah, /cc." By this information it would appear that Columbia may now be said to enjoy tranquillity as the reward Of many years of toil and dangers ; and to cultivate peace, and reap the advantages of freedom,will soon be the only pursuits of the Government. Accounts from Valparaiso, dated the 18th of May, state that the cargo of the British ship Lord Cath cart had been condemned, it having been proved Spanish property. EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED ST. JAGO DE CHILI, MAY 21, 1822. " The army of San Martin has left Lima to operate against that of La Serna, in the neighbourhood of Caw). As the Spanish frigates are now in the hands • of the Patriots, the Venganza having been taken by Lord Cochrane, in Guayaquil River, and la Prueba having entered Callao and surrendered, the Royalist General will perhaps be inclined to enter into terms, as he must see escape difficult in case of defeat. In Chili we enjoy the greatest tranquillity, and the In. dians have ceased to devastate the province of Con ception. A change of government, by introducing partially a Representative system, is about taking place, and will most likely be highly beneficial to the count' y." CHILI.---It would seem that the war the Araucanian Indians have long carried on against the contiguous province of Conception, has ceased. This was a ne- Cessai y consequence of the fall of Lima, as it was from the latter place the Indians received their sup plies, forwarded by the Viceroy, and 'distributed by the agents be sent among them. . tE A Rut% a.

She did not fall, but took the rifle into the house and set it up; then took her infant from the cradle, and bidding one of the elder children to press her hand bn the wound to check the effusion of the blood, gave suck to her child—thus exemplifying the " ruling passion strong in death; the last thought of the mother was associated with the comfort of her little one: 'a very kw hours after the woman was a corpse.—American Paper. A I CURIOUS CONTEST FOR A WIFE !--rst, Englishman ; and a German both fell in love with the same Lady, whom they were both equally beloved—the parent of the young Lady was equally satisfied with both.— They possessed equal talents, fortune, character, standing, and all the rest of the world's goads—in short, they stood on the ground of such equality, that no other mode was left to decide the controversy than a duel. The father, however, to save the lives of two such valuable men, proposed this substitute—that whoever was capable of putting his antagonist with force of arms into a leather bag should be the for tunate candidate ! These terms were accepted—the parties met in the presence of a numerous crowd of spectators, and the contest began. 'The German proving the strongest hero of the two, took his Eng lish antagonist, and with main strength put him into the bag, tied him up with a handsome bow knot round the mouth of the bag, to prevent his escape, shoul dered him as a man would shoulder a dead hog, and laid his whole length at his mistress's feet, and amidst the shouts and congratulations of the spectators, bore off the prize in triumph.—American Paper. SINGULAR EPITAPH.—In a Church at Amsterdam there is a very ancient funeral monument of white marble, on which are engraved a pair of slippers, of a • very singular kind, with this inscription, " Elea Nyt," which means exactly; and the story of this sin gularity is this :—A man who was very rich, but who was a boa vivant, took it into his head that he was to live a certain number of years, and no longer.— Under the impression of this idea, he calculated, that if he spent so much a year, his estate and his life would expire together; it accidentally happened that he was not mistaken in either of his calculations; he died precisely at that time which he had presented to himself in fancy, and had then brought his fortune to such a predicament, that after the paying of his debts he had nothing left but a pair of slippers: his relations buried him ma creditable manner, and had the slippers carved on histomb, with the above device. THE LATE FIRE AT EDINEURGH.--It is now un happily ascertained that three lives were lost at the fire In the West Port, Edinburgh, on Thursday night, as stated in the STAR of Tuesday. These were Sa muel Park, an Irish labourer, and his son and daugh ter, eight and ten years old. Their remains were dug out of the ruins on Saturday afternoon, but in such a mutilated and consumed state, that only those of the father and son could be identified with certainty. Park had been a widower for about two years. On the alarm of the fire. be was called -to by a neigh bour, who escaped in his shirt, and made answer ; and hisfriend was anxiously searching for him among his acquaintances the whole of Friday, in the hope that he had also escaped. The rapidity of the Rinses however, was sash, that the poor man appears to have lost his own fife iu his paternal anxiety $0 lam those - of his children. PRO ESTR I A NIS Si: Nawcasnx, Ssrr. 24.—Yesterday afternodn; at so mindN put three o'clock, Barney M 4 Mullen, at the Cowgate, bast completed 929 *les, and expects to finish at soon on Thursdays his extraordinary task of walking 1000 miles And 1000 poles lit 1000 successive hours.'

There is now in the possession of Mr. Italia %T -win, gamekeeper at Riddleham Hope, the seat of CirantEs Jonx CLAVERING, Esq. a young raveni fifteen months old, which was taken from the nest there when very young, and brought up by the keeper with the dogs. It is now so completely domesticated* that it will go out with the keeper and the dogs, and when it takes its flight further than usual, at the sound of the whistle it will return and perch upon a tree or a wall, and watch all their movements. It is no un common thing for it to go to the moors with him, and to return, a distance of ten or twelve miles. He will even enter a village with the keeper, partake of the same refreshments and never leave him until hi returns home. A number of those beautiful little bird!, the golden.; crested wren, have recently been caught in the streets in Harwich, and on the shipping off the Oast. The quantity of fruit produced in Dundee market this season, almost surpasses credibility. On Fridays week upwards of fifty cart loads were brought td town from the Carse. In fact, apples are selling as cheap, if not cheaper, than potatoes.

MANUFACTURE OF ANCHORS. The following clause, being the 18th, in the Sal vage Act, passed on the 2d of July, 1821, is import ant to ship-owners generally, and furnishes a caution to the manufacturers of anchors : " And be it further enacted, that all manufacturers of anchors and kedge anchors, shall place his, her, or their name or names, together With a progressive number, and also the weight of the anchor, in legible characters upon the crown, and also upon the shank under the stock of each anchor, which he, she, or they, shall manufacture; and shall also place his, her, or their name or names, together with a number, and also the weight of the hedge anchor, upon the crown, and also upon the shank near to the stock of every kedge anchor, which he, she, or they shall manufacture ; and in case any such manufacturer shall neglect to place such name, number, or weight, in the manner herein before directed and required, every such person or persons so offending shall, on conviction before any Justice of the Peace or Magis trate, on the oath of one credible witness, or on the confession of the party so offending, forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding £5, nor less than 40s. one half of which penalty shall be paid to the informer, and the other half to the poor of the parish or township in which such offence shall be committed." It all anchors were marked as thus directed by law, 'many would be recovered by the owners, which now go to Lords of Manors as droits, on account of the parties not being able to identify them ; and more tacility would be afforded if ship-owners caused the name of the ship, and to what port she belongs, to be marked upon the anchor, with the weight and date of its manufacture. THE WHITE FAST. The following are further particulartof the occur rences which took place at the Grand Synagogue on the ceremony of the White Fast : The Service commenced on Tuesday evening at six o'clock, and ended at half-past ten ; the following morning it recommenced at six o'clock, and con cluded at half-past six in the evening, when it was dark, the given hour to break their fast: during these twenty-four hours the . Hebrews neither partake of wet nor dry. The Synagogue in Duke-street, Aldgate, was com pletely crowded at an earlier hour, and the congrega tion consisted of nearly WOO respectable and well , dressed persons, both male and female, who conducted themselves on that solemn occasion with great devo tion towards their CREATOR, and with due respect to their High Priest, the Rev-. Doctor HICRSCHELL, who was stationed the whole of the day beside the Altar, in fervent prayer for the salvation of the children of Israel, dressed in his shroud, and at several periods he -was observed absorbed in tears, with his eyes to. wards HEAVEN, imploring mercy. After the Morning Prayers finish, it is customary on that day to contribute towards the needy, and we are happy to say, never did chalky shine in a more brilliant light. Among the great donors we observed the fol lowing t.ientlemen :—N. M. ROTHSCHILD, Esq. D. ELISON, Esq.' J. GOLDSMID, Esq. L. A. GOLDSUID, Esq. AARON JobEPH, S. M. SAMUZL,aIId many others, too numerous to be inserted. On the 2d instant, the Bishop of CHESTER was at Milker, In Swaledale, Yorkshire, on the visitation of his diocese, when an old woman applied to him to be confirmed. His Lordship said, it was very unusual for a person of her age to be confirmed ; but she in- ' silted oa the rite. The Bishop then asked her how many commands there were ? She replied, Mimi. What are they ? said his Lordship. She answered, Phiaanday, Karsmass, and Maker Fairy I.
