;.,, , no business of mine." What sort of vessel was it ? An old vessel, creaky. Was she leaky ? Did not notice. When I said, Why don't you hoist the jib ? he said, Mind your own business. I believe all the onscengers were on board when the funnel fell. Do volt believe you were on the awash or r n the Dutchman's bank? About the middle of the hank. She struck several times be fore she went down ; it was a very heavy sea. If we had got in deep water we should have been safe. Did you see any washed overboard ? About 20 or 30 at one time ; it was quite heart-breaking to see it. Evan R edland, musician, heard passengers re quest the captain to ring the bell. He said " No, there is the bell, ring it yourselves." He gave orders for the passengers to go back sometimes, and sometimes to go forward. How many was on board besides yourself? Two men. How many passengers do you suppose there were on board ? About 100. William Hughes, sailor.—Was she a stout boat? No, not very stout. Could nnt see the buoy ; she laboured bard in open sea. When she struck did it drag Yes, abont a mile—drifted to leeward. The captain was fresh, the mite no better. What do vou attribute the loss to ? The falling off of steam. What deprived You of steam ? In conse- ' quence of the water coming in—the water made upon us by the seams opening. You are satisfied the captain was not sober? Yes, sir. Evan Evans, of Liverpool. deposed the sea was very rough when she struck near Puffin Island.— What is your opinion of the vessel ; was she stout? Not so strong as some I have been with. LlEns.—lt appears that Mr. Thompson, a highly respectable solicitor, of the firm of Hail stone and Thompson, of Bradford. left that place on Tuesday-week, accompanied by his lady, for the purpose of taking an excursion of pleasure into Wales, and that on the day following they embarked on hoard the nothsay Castle, for Beau maris. The intelligence of the loss of that vessel, communicated through the medium of this paper, on Saturday morning last, awakened the most painful apprehension on the part of the friends and connexions of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson ; but on Thursday morning all uncertainty was removed, by the arrival of the following letter from Beau maris, received by Dr. Outhwaite, the president of the Commercial-builings, at Bradford : I ` . I 4.. I , • • 0 ~: TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE BRAOFORD WEITS•BOOM. Gentlemen—A portmanteau has this day been found near the wreck of the Rothuy Castle, along with a small writ ing.crae, containing several address cards with the name of Mr. Thompson upon them, similar to the enclosed ; a phial bottle was also found, with the name of Bradford upon it. Presuming it may be the property of some gentleman is the neighbourhood of Bradford, I have coesidered it to be my duty to make you acquainted with the circumstance, so that in case it should be the ptoperty of any gentleman in the utighbouthood, it may be properly claimed. The parties mar have every information by addressing a letter to the coroner of this place. Your obedient servant, THOMAS HOLDS NORTH. Beaumaris, Aug. 23. This letter plunged the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson in the most poignant distress. They have not left any children, but Mr. Thompson was very generally esteemed for his talents and inte grity, as was Mrs.T. for her amiable disposition and her domestic virtues. They were both in the prime and vigour of life, surrounded by every comfort, and worthy to enjoy them. In the early part of last week four respectable tradesmen, all, we believe of the society of friends, left Rochdale with the intention of visiting the stupendous works of Nature and art, in the Menai Straits. On their arrival at Liverpool, they took their passage in the Rothsay Castle. The party consisted of Mr. William Bottomley, cotton-spinner, of Rochdale, son of Mr. ‘Villiam Bottomley, of Shepley. near Huddersfield Mr. Alexander Wheeler. of Five Ways, near Birming ham, grocer, brother-in-law to Mr. Bottomley ; Mr. King, of Rochdale, cotton spinner; and Mr. William Lees, of the same place, his cousin. The news of the loss of the vessel induced their friends to repair to Beatimaris in a state of the most painful anxiety, which continued for some days, and was, only at last removed by the coat and waistcoat of Mr. Wheeler being washed up on the shore, with a packet of letters in one of the pockets, which left no doubt of their identity. PANORAMA lIP THE BRITISH EMPIRE. The STAR has for several months exhibited such a pic ture of the Domestic Events of the Empire, as never before was attempted. It gratifies unspeakably the natives of districts who reside in London and distant counties, and is a LETTER FROM HOME to every provincir.l in foreign count, iv', or in the Colonies. It raises also into general im portance the exertions of local talerts in every public cause. Then as this is a duty performed alone by the STAR, those local patriots would ill deserve their name, if the STAR and its interests were not reciprocally promoted by them in every district. We know it has been so in many places, and the STAR in principles, and in all the best qualities of a paper, has justified preference; but we reasonably expect the same attentions EVERY WHERE ' as the means of at once recompensing our diligence, and adding to the utility of our and saclusive information. We call also on the Provincial Proprietors of papers, whose local labours we thus illustrate, and invite with earnestness their powerful attentions in promoting those interests of the Paper which they Lest understand. We notoriously exc,l all London Papers in priority of Foreign News, and our display of the transactions of the country is equally exclusive and pre. eminent. DERBY REPORTER, Aug. 25.

Sutton front the road, when suddenly the stones In which the railings were fixed gave way, and the crowd adore, toge ther with the stones anti railing, were hurled on those below, and a scene of dreadful confusion ensued. As soon as those who were uninjured had extricated themselves, it was discovered that many persons had suffered grievously. One lad with his leg broken--another into whose head, and neck the iron spikes had entered—and upwards of twenty more with contusions on the head and limbs, were lifted up by the bystanders, and carried either to the Infirmary or to private houses.

FALMOUTH.—We have to record a truly melancholy ac cident which occurred in our harbour on Saturday last, on which day. about half-past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, while it blew a strong gale from the no thward. a boat be. longing to his Majesty's ship Astrwa, lying in Carrick roads, going off' to that vessel from the Market Swami, not being able to fetch her without making a short tact, stood on towards the opposite shore and put about, but from some inexplicable cause the main sheet which ought to have been shifted from one side of the boat to the other re mained belayed to the windward, although the man at the helm called out several times "cut off the main sheet." The boat not getting head-way in consequence of this was driven bodily astern and to leeward, and was almost immediately filled by the water rushing in over the lee-counter. There not being any ballast on board (the boat was so built aa not to require it) she did not sink, and six men were saved by lholding on by her, which they did with the greatest diffi culty from the violence of the gale, till boats came to their assistance from the Astrata and the Dutch East India ship Ortelius, but seven persons, viz. one seaman, one ma rine, two marines' wives, and three children, were drowned. The bodies of two of these children were picked up almost immediately after the accident, and the remaining five on Monday. One of the women , named Berry, was found with her child firmly clasped in her arms. His Grace the Duke of Leeds (Lord Proprietor and Go vernor of the Scilly Islands) at his late audit, generously gave up nearly .€3,000 which were due for arrears of rent on the different islands, granting full acquittances to the te.

The daughter of the elder prisoner was then called, a girl about 11 years of age, and she stated that the boys were directed by the mother to go to the mountain and bring down sheep, when they were shorn, and afterwards killed by knocking them on the head with a hammer, and the wool sold. The three male prisoners and the mother were found guilty. Thomas Williams and James Williams transported for life, and the mother and Evan Williams, • buy about 13 years of age, for 14 years each.

Mr. Peter Nasmyth who died on the Bth inst. at South Lambeth, London, was in the 46th year of his age. He met his death in the pursuit of his profession. Not reco vered from the influenza under which he had been suffering, he went out to Norwood to make a study of one of those scenes which his pencil has often rendered so interesting. A severe cold was the consequence of this imprudence. He was thrown back on a sick-bed in a state of weakness, from which neither professional aid nor the affectionate care of his relations, could recover him. He was the son of Alexander Nasmyth, of Edinburgh, and eminent pain ter of landscape, whose works hare been admired for half a century, and who still lives in the vigorous exercise of his powers, surrounded by a numerous and taltnted family. The earliest recollections of Peter tell of his devoted attaehmtnt to Nature—Nature was his only school; for this the school master was neglected, and the truant boy would be found, nor robbing orchards, nor indulging in sensual gratifications, but with a pencil in his hand. drawing some old tree, or imi tating the wild flowers that grew around his path. A re markable circumstance occurred at an early age, which proves how entirely Nature had taken possession of his mind, so as to make him independent of the means employed to it her beauties. On the even of a projected excursion to the Highlands, Peter had disabled his right hand. His father thought it useless to take his son lamed and lielpiess. He did not know the extent of his boy's resources. What he could not do with one hand he could with the other, and, though never having before tried his left hand, the sketches he made in this excursion are amongst the most curious of his works for truth and fidelity. At the age of twenty he went to London. Here the delicacy of his pencil, and the remarkable accuracy of his detail, obtained for him the name of the English Hobbima. Hobbima and Ruysdael were his far ourite masters. but Nasmyth was always originaL Ardkinlaas House, near Calmdow, Argylesnire, the splendid seat of Mr. Callender of Craigforth, was, on Wed. ••••day 1.. e, Unimak! to the are.n.3, a pleb mast o f else furniture that was in the house; the library, however, is said to be all saved.

It broke out In the upper . part of the house, and burned from one o'clock on II tclnemday till Thursd ay at sunrise, when the whole was totally consumed. Cralotrs Discovx ex.—Within these few days, in con sequence of the draining operations at Lochieven, the water having considerably subsided, there have been discovered in the bed of the Loch, on the south side of the castle, and about 200 yards trout the tower, a number of balls of freestone, varying slightly in size, but averaging about 21 inches in circumfisence, and (bibs in weight. From their peculir shape and appearance, together with the eircum. stance that nothing of a similar description can be found In that quarter, it has been inferred with a considerable degree of probability, that they must be the identical balls which were discharged upon the memorable occasion when the un fortunate 31ary effected her escape. WHEEL OF THE BEN.NEVIS Svasiesa.—Campbel ton, August 19, 1831.—We have to advise that last night, the steam•boat Beta-Nevis, Cooper, from Stornoway and Skye to (Amigo,. was put on shore at Carskey, about twelve miles to the southward of this. By report of one of the pas. Rogers whom we have just seen, they were off the Mull of Kintyre at eight p.m. blowing strong, and dark, and that they struck at twelve, the sea breaking over them; but, by great exertions, the crew and passengers were all safely landed: little, however, of the goods, &c. below could be got at, as the vessel, very soon after striking, had filled with water. On Tuesday, the annual meeting of the Managers of the Edinburgh Charity Work-house, was held in the ball of the Institution—Mr. James Mackay in the chair. An abstract of the receipt and expenditure of the institution, from Ist July 1830 to let July 1831, was laid before the meeting. The gross receipts amount to 11,8071 12s. I Id. The ex pence' of the internal management amount to WOOL 18s ; PIP _ the nut-door expenditure to 78711. 14s. 5d ; and the miscel laneous expenditure to WA sa. The balance against the house last year was 44771. 17s. 3d. and this year it amounts to 73081. 9s. 7d. The average number of persons who have resided within thentablishment in the course of lest year, is 634, and the average expences of maintaining' each is 81. Is. 1014. THE CROPS AND HARVEST.--Within ten miles of Edinburgh, two-thirds 44 least of the crops are safely cut down ; and we arc happy to say, that the new grain exhi bited in our corn market yesterday was to general of excel lent quality and in fine condition, far excelling any which has been seen since crop 1826. In short, to use the homely words of a respectable farmer, " the auld and the new crap winna do t o b e seen theilther.” The best parcel of wheat shown was from the farm of Monktonhall, in the neighbourhood of Musselburgh, which weighed 651bs. per imptrial bushel, and brought 744. per quarter. There was also new barley in the market, which weighed 561bs. and was sold, we believe. at 365. per boll of six bushels. EasT or Fire Busons.—The Magistrates and Town Council of Anstruther Easter have unanimously conferred the freedom of that burgh on Col. Lindsay, the member for the county, as a m ar k o f th e ir regard and gratitude to him for his spirited exertions in parliament, in endeavouting to Preserve fhe elective franchise to the Anatruther district of burghs. CHAIN Ditoreens.—There are at present about 30 of these miscreants prowling about the city and suburbs; and in spite of repeated cautions they occasionally find people simple enough to become their prey. Last week two per sons suffered, one in one pound and another in four, for chains and seals not worth 2s. 6d. PITCAIRN'S ISLAND.— We extract the following from a New York paper of the 21st ult.—" Those who are familiar with the recent accounts of the prosperous condition of the descendants of the mutineers of the English ship Bounty, residing at the place, will learn, perhaps with some surprise, that the whole number of them have emigrated from the island. Capt. Wilcox, of the whaling ship Maria Theresa, arrived at this port yesterday, informs, that while at Otabehe the English transport ship Lucian arrived there, with all the inhabitants of Pitcairn's Island, with the purpose of fixing them in a settlement at °WRNS, on account of a scarcity at water at the former island." A correspondent wilt.. as follows t—l have just visited for the first time, and which seems to be new, or nearly so, to the world as well as myself, I mean Innerleithen. The su r ding scenery of hill and dale, mountain and valley s wood and water, cultivation and waste, h grand and varied, and added to the salubrity and elasticity of the air, and other domestic comforts, fills the mind with agreeable ideas. The native honesty, simplicity, and accommodating spirit of the inhabitants, ought not to be forgotten, nor the pleasant walks and rides in the neighbourhood. It is a most delightful walk to the Spas themselves, three in number, which the Earl of Ttaquair has, with c°ll - cxpence and taste, inclosed and surrounded with neat buildings, fences and gardens, on the side of a bill finely exposed to the morning sun, and considerably eleva ted above the level of the Tweed. Most mineral waters are rather difficult to swallow in any quantity, but next to those of Cheltenham, I think those of Innerleithen the sweetest and pleasantest, as well as most effective in opera tion, I have ever drank. It is no small praise, too, in these difficult times, to say th a t in t h e articles of bo ardi and lodg ing, by breakfasting in my own lodgings, and dining at an inn, I find more comfort and less expence, than ever I hays met with before under similar circumstances." Tuazz bIELASCHOLT EFFECTS Or TRIVIAL CAUVES. —I. On the afternoon of Friday week, Jane 3PLellan, servant to Mr. Halliday, ironmonger, Dumfries, went into the back kitchen of her master's house, with a small quan tity of turpentine and a candle in her hand, for the purpose of prosecuting some cleansing process. By a spark, the turpentine unfortunately ignited. The girl, unthinkingly, pressed her apron on the top of it ; but in an Instant so frail a covering was in flames. She then rushed into the passage, and 11r. Halliday succeeded in wrapping a table-cover firmly around her, but the poor girl was so dreadfully scorched, that she died after suffering twenty-three hours of gnat agony.- 2. An engraver, named Whealan, residing at Kentish Town, died a few days ago, in consequence of having fractured his skull in the following singular manner. He was drinking' tea, and, according to his usual practice when seated and reading a newspaper, was balancing himself upon the hinder feet of the chair, when he lost his equilibrium ' fell back ward, and struck hi s h ea d aga i nst a marble slab.-3. Thurs. day morning, about half -put one o'clock, when the Favourite steamer was about to leave Greenock for Glasgow, a man named David Gillon, a tobacco spinner, who had acurpt• panied some friends to that boat, was taking leave of thee, when his hat fell in to the water. On this he got into a small boat to recover it, but, in attempting to get hold of the bat, fell overboard himself, and was drowned. PRICE OF SCOTTISH STOCKS.

DUBLI.V MORNING REGISTER, Aug. 26. Yesterday it was expected that the new representatives for the city of Dublin, the Recorder and Lord Ingestrie, would be formally declared by the High !Merin. The Orangemen were packed, not merely in the jury boxes, but la the front of the gallery usually ocsupial by the poopla, The hour for opening the Court was ten o'clock, but loos before that time the Orangemen had the galleries pok with placards, on which were printed " Victory I viotbry 1 Shaw and Ingerle i lretutned by a icy of 3611. r—" To be sold, Il a n ) ' s breeches "—" No "—" No P.lngs lorr"—" No Priests"—" No Penance '—" No Perjury." Upon the High Sheriffs coming into Court, Handwich, the bottle thrower, raised 4 cheer for the 'illterifts"--it 74: . `_~c, Wrir4l ^IP .••••• was instantly responded to by his brother Orangemen in the gallery, who continued their applause by clapping their hands to the chorus of " tent boys." Three cheers *ere neat given for " Protestant ascendancy." Three cheers were next given for " the Orangemen of Ire land, and " the Newtowabarry Yeomanry." Captain Cot. tingham came into the Court House about 11 o'clock, and was received with loud applause. Mr. Henehy, Mr. Gre gory, ex-Secretary, and other individuak on the Bench, produced oranges and waved them over their heads amid enthusiastic cheers from the boxes. Mr. Marcus Costelloe came into the court about 12 o'clock, and said that a new candidate was about being proposed.— (Loud groans, hisses, and cheers from the galleries.) Mr. Abbott, the Assessor, then came forward, and said, that the booths would continue open until five o'clock, and that due regula , ions should be made to give the voters access to the poll. He wished to know from Mr. Costelloe who was going to be proposed as a candidate ? Mr. Thomas Reynolds, as a fifty-pound freeholder, came forward to propose Mr. Costello., He said—Electors of the city of Dublin, freemen and freeholders, I appeal to you, and I solicit from your indulgence, as Irishmen, that , courtesy which you should claim for yourselves, and which I hope you will extend to others, (Hear.) Rlectors of the city of Dublin, I rise for the purpose of proposing to you as a candidate, a person who is a bold repealer of the Union, honest Marcus Costello. (Cheers, groans, hisses, and con. tinued tumult.) Mr. Sheriffs, I now propose to you, as a fit and proper person to Represent this city in Parliament, Marcus Costelloe, Esq. barrister at law—(Loud cheers and hisses.) Timothy Skelly seconded the nomination. Mr. Sheriff Halahan then put Mr. Costelloe in nomination. The polling had not continued for more than an hour when it was apparent that a sufficient number to keep the booths open could not be procured. Up to five o'clock, however, twent.eight had polled for Mr. Costelloe, and he then in. sis.ed that the election should be kept open, even though a sufficient number had nut voted in any particular booth. This objection was overruled by the assessor, and it was de cided that after five o'clock the election must terminate. Shortly after six o'clock Mr. Sergeant O'Loghlen, with Mr. Latouche, accompani e d by severa l f r i en d s , entered the court-house, and were received with enthusiastic acclama tions. In a few minutes after blr. Marcus Costelkie also appeared on the hustings,and was received with loud cheer ing ; and immediately the High Sheriffs, the Assessor, with the Recorder and Lord Ingestrie, appeared ; the latter were instantly assailed with tremendous booting and groans. Mr. Sheriff Halahan then came forward and announced the state of the poll, as follow : The Recorder .. 1292 I Mr. Latouthe .. 1052 Lord Ingestrie ... 1250 I Sergeant O'Loghlen 937 Mr. Costello, ... 28 . _ Ile then added—l, therefore, declare the Recorder, Mr. Frederick Shaw, and Lord Viscount Ingesuie, duly elected to represent this cityin Parliament. (Hisses, and cries of No.) The Recorder and Lord Ingestrie attempted to speak, but were completely inaudible from the dreadful hissing and clamour of the people. Mr. Sergeant O'Loghlen then presented himself, and said—Gentlemen, the Sheriffs have declared the recorder and Viscount Ingestrie duly elected as your representatives ; I deny that they are duly elected. They have, I admit, a ma jority on the Sheriffs' books, and those gentlemen only per formed theirduty in what they have done. (flies of No.) But, gentlemen, there is another tribunal to which we can appeal —(cheers)—and I tell them Dow, that perhaps before ti e one hundred and twenty.seven prisoners now immured in Newgate foe the convenience of the recorder, are tried, that judge and his colleague may be unseated, and you called on again to exercise your right. (Great cheering.) Gentlemen, of the manner. and the means by which their majority has been procured, I will not speak here. This is not the time nor the =solo* on which they can be properly exposed. I have declared fr eq uently during the progress of the election my opinion of the foonduct pursued by the sheriffs and those appointed by them--(groans, and cries of " ha.") — for I am not the man when wronged to submit to it in silence. (Long and tremendous cheering.) Their conduct shall be brought before another tribunal, and they may defend It there if they can. (Cheers.) We have bad to-day another candidate; and allow me to 'say, that I declined the poll yesterday, not because 1 would wake no sacrifice, but be. cause I found we could not overtake our opponents on the poll, without resorting to sacrifices which I could not ap prove of. (Loud cheers.) Bs assured we did not do it hastily; our opinions were founded on the experience of past elections • we deliberately weighed the circumstances In which we were placed, indicted on the facts before us. ( Hese, bear.) I would not have declined the poll, if I did not, in my con science, believe that it was our duty to do so, and to take the dec ision of another tribunal upon the case. (Cheers.) Mr. Latouche then came forward amid loud cheers, and said, I have but little to address you upon ; I have no feel ings but those the Learned Sergeant has so eloquently ex pressed. I came forward as a candidate on this occasion from no desire of personal aggrandisement—from no feeling of ambition—(hear. and cheers)—but from a desire for the welfare of my native city—(loudcheen)—and it is from the same anxiety for the good of Dublin that I now retire.— (Cheers.) I have declined the poll, because I found that it was only by sacrifices that I could not bring myself to make, that we could overtake their majority. Mr. M. Costelloe next proceeded to address the assem bly in an animated and very powerful speech, in which he dwelt on the unparalleled support he had received at a few hours' notice from the independent freeholders, and declared that not only nine out of every ten of the Common Council of the corporation, but ninety-nine out of every hundred of the freemen of the city were friendly to a repeal of the Union, and would soon be found giving their support to candidates who would advocate it in parliament. He pro. needed to comment on the indecency of a judge, like the Recorder, attempting to be a representative in parliament, and of a stranger, like Lord Ingestrie, mocking ihe pea pie of Dublin by presenting himself to their suffrages. The Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer, the Right Hon. Henry Joy, one of his Majesty's Privy COundllors in Ireland, appeared at the hustings on Tuesday, and voted for his brother Judge and Lord Ingestrie. The troop of Dragoons stationed here for some tone put marched to New Ross on Monday morning. Horse sol diers were not stationed in Kilkenny for several years past, until the hurling meetings, and subsequently the more or derly but determined opposition to tithes, made our rulers deem a force of this kind necessary in the county.

A person who was distinguished as a government witness, during the state prosecutions in 1798, has been lately cep. pointed a captain of yeomanry. We regret having to notice' a foolish and wicked act, perpetrated at Dunmore on Sunday night.

These gentlemen attended last week, and their decision was, that the course should be opened; and as that seemed objectionable to the Protestant, they marked a place where the inconvenience would be obviated, by making out a new course which would wont modate all panics having done this; and Junin* this course i l instantly to be made, both magistrates tetired. What was the consequence? This Protestant, who is a yeoman, went in for his gun, and but for his wife, and some other interfe rence, would, to all appearance, have fired upon the people at work.

A bill had been filed, in behalf of an infant, against the executors of his father, a mercantile man ; and in strictness, the rule above alluded to would require the whole of the father's books to be transcribed into 'the an swer, which would extend it to the nuMber of nine hundred thousand folio sheets, and require tin pay ment of 30,0001. in stamp duties! The Lord'thaii cellar granted the motion, allowing extracts only to be sufficient. r 12* ICINTILLJE.

RA RE INHABITANT OF A CAGE.—M. de Mas son asserts that he knew a lady of the Russian Court, in the reign of Catherine 11. who kept a slave, who was her perruquicr, shut up in a cage i n b ar own cha mber.i She let him out every day, to arrange her head dress, and locked him up again with her own hands after the business of the toilet was over. His box was plated at her bed head, and in this fashion he attended her wherever she went. His fare was bread and water. He passed three years in this captivity, the object of which was to conceal from the world that this lady wore a wig. The close confinement was a punishment for running away from her service ; the meagre diet of a measure of revenge, because he could not prevent her grow ing older and uglier every day.—Mosseires Secrets star Is Russie. SOCIAL CULTIV ATION OF Mustc.—Wheresere ral young ladies, sisters or Mends, reside in one family, there is an opportunity for bringing the social harmony of voices to a kind of perfection, which casual intercourse can never lead to.

One of the chief delights of ladies' work is, that it so little engrosses the thoughts. While their fingers are mechanically employed, they may, in a hundred ways, entertain themselves, and those about them, as well with the music of their voices as with the merry conceits of their wit and fancy.— Ilarmottioosa. BEAUTY OF THE ENGLISH CRIMINAL LAN. --The three following cases occurred at a police-of ce one day last week :—Pulling Mr. Plank's spectacles off his nose; a drunken Irishman ; 3 months' imprisonment.—Having 2 outside passengers mote than licensed; Windsor coachman ; 101. fine. —Beating a sailor boy, with a thick rope, for a a quarter of an hour, until he was all but dead ; an East country ship captain; 61. fine.—The nice proportion in which, as the offence rises in enormity and the criminal in respectability, the punishment diminishes in amount, makes the above examples as instructive as any we have for a long time past noticed. SALARIES OP ACTORS IN CHIN Can ton there are about thirty companies of native players, be. sides about ten of others from beyond the river, as people from the upper provinces are called. A company is gene. rally composed of from 40 to 70 persons, and, excepting about ten or twelve who take the principal parts, the rest are paid at from 20 and 30 to 130 dollars per annum • • those who enact the superior parts, in which are c o mpri se d female characters, deities and emperors, generals and ministers. buffoons and clowns, can earn from 300 to 1,000 dollars per annum, besides their living, which is always at the cost of the manager. The usual price paid for the performance of a set of plays, such as occupy the greater part of a day, is from 00 to 70 dollars ; and an engagement is, generally speaking, foe five, six, or seven days. Theft is a law which prohibits the continuance of any performance in Canton after six o'clock p.in. but in the suburbs it is not strictly en forced. Engagements for parties at private houses prove the most profitable service for the actor : here they perform during the protracted meal of dinner ; and it is considered a proper compliment to the boat for the guest to send money to the stage. Though it is not nue if faut for ladies to appear openly at a play. yet, when the performance is near any convenient aparttneuts, they are allowed to view it firom behind a bamboo-screen, so contrived that they are not seen by the company. Ihe Canton actors affect to carry on their dialogue in' the Mandarin tongue, but it is so villainously spoken by theta, that few people of education find pleasure le their performances ; whilst, with the loner orders, they are great favourites.

We cannot persuade ourselves, that epitaphs might,not very easily be made the vehicles of useful and agreeable information. As they are regulated at present, they generally commence by informing us, that the person in whose honour they are written ' is dead,--a fact which be h a d p rev i ous l y b een h a lf inclined to believe, from the circumstance of his having been buried. All this sort of knowledge is very little required. What we require is, something which may rather be useful to the liv. ins, than commemorative of the dead. l'e have had the good fortune to meet with two epitaphs which exactly cor respond to our notions upon this subject. The first has al most all the attributes of a moral discourse, and the defunct is made the useful vehicle of admonition and reproof. " Here Nelly Griggs is free from her labours, Who was a great deal better than most of her neighbours She was not so drunken u farmer Hale is, Nor half such a swearer as Thomas Millis ; She did not, like dame Smith, grudge her dog his bowel, And was far more pious than parson Jones is." We do not envy the feelings of that man who can reel Nelly Griggs's exhortations to sobriety, sinless conversation. charity, and religion, unmoved. The other, though in a less lefty style of admonition, is alm ost equ al to the fore going, in the cleanses, and ingenuity of its design. We met with it in a retired village in Devonshire. The first day s, entered the churchyard of Coomb-Alartin, we co2iei it into our pocket-book. " Here lies John Swabey of this town, leaving Ex youn; ' children and a disconsolate widow, who carries on the bu siness as usual, at the sign of the Sugar loaf, where great bargains continue to be had, particularly in linen ad anus' On resuming our "meditations among the tombs" next day. we beheld a portly female In widow's weeds, busily employul about the grave. "Ah !" said we, who had newly returned from Paris, with Pere la Chaise still strong In out recolkc• tion, "she is coming forth to hang a bouquet of Borer , upon the stone ; we will leave her to the ' amiable indul gence of her grief.'" In a short time, she went away, AM as she passed us, we fancied we saw the traces of recent tears upon her countenance. With saddened heart, we went up tq the tomb-stone she had left, and saw written upon it with a piece of chalk.—N.B. " Some teas has just COMO at 5 Gd. per pound." BIRTHS.
