CHILL VA LPA RA ISO, Fen. 21.—Tbe political condi tion of this country is equally mortifying to a friend of rational republicanism : 1 much fear the people hero arc unsuited to that best of all forms of go- ! vernment ; a hope, however, is cherished, that they are constantly on the advance towards a con dition more cheering to the philanthropist, and i more encouraging to the friends of the inalienable rights of man. An election for delegates to a ge neral Congress is ordered to take place during March ; and it is hoped that body will fix the go vernment on something like a permanent basis, and give good laws and tranquillity to the people, which is all they need to make them happy and prosper ous, nature having done its part by giving them a delightful climate and country. Ovalle, Vice- President (there being no President), is nominally at the head of the government, and signs all pub lic decrees, &c. as such : but Portales, Minister of War, of state, &c. is said in reality, to be the master-spirit in the affairs of the government as he v. as the secret agent of the last revolution.— General Hew is at the head of the military, and by the influence of Portales, who is his friend and the agency of the army (which in this country is an all-powerful political agent, those now in au thority owing their places to its direct influence,) it is thought by many that the General will be made the President, for their elections are little better than a farce. 'The present rulers, like all men who bold au thority by a doubtful tenure, are very distrustful, impatient of the freedom with which their measures are canvassed, and rather summary in meetingjus tice to their political opponents. On the 14th inst. Messrs. Mora, Gewdian, Escanillo, and others (the former of whom is the President of the College, and distinguished for his literary and scientific at tainments,) were seized by the Government at Santiago, charged with attempting to excite an in surrection ; the only evidence of this fact, however, as far as 1 can learn, are certain strictures, of which they are the authors, published in a paper called the Trompeta,handliog with some severityt lie acts ofthe Govei 'anent. It was intended to banish these men ; but public feeling was so opposed to even their seizure, that they were liberated, and are now here to Valparaiso. You are doubtless apprised that PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH LITERATIII.I 7 , AND SCIENCE. LIBRARY OF rnr. FINE ARTS—No. b.-JULY. (AIIPoLo.) I,Ve nre glad to see this new magazine proceed I with spirit. The articles are all such as must imp:cre ete artist, and interest the amateur. A lievic..% of Vb'illianis's Life and Correspondence of Law...cuce, _includes a number of most amusing ex- travts and judicious remarks. An essay on orns inent:l Cable ends, gives some curious informs-, tion on the ornamental Domestic architecture of' our ancestors The " Sketches of a Travelling Ar tist" are amusing.; Lut, ni far as are seen of them, in this Number, have little immediate reference to the Arts, unless some graphic description of French manners may be considered as giving them that character. The following sketch, for instance, of a French Diligence, has merit as a very accurate delineation : Scene—Bureau des Menageries &hold yon multifarious compound of wood, iron, and wicker work—put together, seemingly, to show how large a i quantity of material can be used within a certain compass. Though mounted on wheels (apparently the cast-off set of a Bristol waggon), it is difficult, at first, to persuade your -1;:lf that the machine has a locomotive power, and that it is riot some chaotic malts of vehicular form ; or some rude 1,4(.4: of antiquity, which, rather than for present service, is suitable to bold companionship with the mammoth's bones in a museum of antediluvian curiosities . Like Falstaff, It 011iggin:, formerly director of this republic, (and, by the bye, although arbitrary in his acts, the best ruler this people ever had,) was banished to Peru during Freyre 's directorship; and that at the last year's revolution, Freyre was himself banished to the same country. The other day, a Colonel Bil sao, formerly governor of Santiago, but who left the country during some of its troublous times, arrived here in a French sloop of war, from Lima; the authorities, however, fearing he was an emis sary of O'Higgins, would not suffer him to land in Chili. There is a former president of Peru in banishment at this place; and another, General Lamar, in exile at Gnatimala. One small brig, of five or six guns, is all the Chilino vessels of war there in commission ; they have a frigate and a large brig, however, dismantled, which might, with some considerable expense, be fitted. The senior officer, Com. Foster, is an Englishman; the second in command is Captain Delano, of the United States. Charles W. Wooter, of the United States, was at one time Admiral of the Chilino Navy; but lost his place during the last revolution, and is now on Post-Captain's half-pay.--Commercial business is very dull at this time ; this country is full of goods, and little money to buy them. The coun try is so harra'sed by civil commotions, that the mines are very little worked, and coin is becoming scarce.—An English brig, Mary Ann, Collins, from Liverpool, was, the day before yesterday, lost on the rocks, ten leagues south of this.— Morning Advcrtizer. needs no more weight than ha own weightiness; and yet, they encumber it with luggage upon luggage, until we ex pect to hear the very wheels put forth their spoke against such inconsiderate oppression.

THE SPORTSbaIiI i r — IAGAZINE.—Jotv. • BALDWIN AND CZADOCIC. The editors of this spirited Magazine have the merit of producing a miscellany, which, while it I must delight those for whom it is specifically in tended, will be found interesting to the general reader, i. e. the man who wishes to know a little of I every thing—and to know what those are doing 1 with whom he seldom or ever associates. He who shows forth his patience in a punt all day, will, in the retirement of evening, be sure to catch some-' thing by angling in this stream ; and the sports man, even in the chimney corner on a rainy day, may bag more substantial game by running intel lectually over the literary field here submitted to him, than he would, perhaps, have been able to do by the fatigues of a fair one. We have nothing to do with dogs, although now and then we endeavour I to keep puppies in order. Although always striving to shoot folly as it flies, and hunt down vice, we never go forth actually with a dog and gun ; and yet we can assure our readers that we have been both amused and instructed by this lively periodical. Among other sprightly articles we select the following extract, being one quite in our own way: EDITODIAL DILZSIMA.—Daring the dead season, the editor of a country paper being much distressed for matter , ransacked every hole and corner for intelligence, and after baying, as he thought, completed his task, sat down to dime: with what appetite he might. In the middle of it he was interrupted by the entrance of his familiar, sash the Devil," demanding "more copy." " D—n the fellow, I mote copy,'" said he, " shy, have you put in the story of the tremendous mushroom found in Mr. Jones's field ?' "- Ycs, sir." "And the account of the prodigious crop of apples gathered from Mr. Timm's tree." " Yes, sir." " And about Mr. Thompson's kitten being suckled by a hedgehog, ?"—" Yes, sir." "And Mr. Smith's dreadful accident sith his one.horse chaise as he passed down Hol born-hill ?"—" Yes, sir." " About the men who stole the corn out of tbe stacks in the farm-yard ?"—" Yes, air, it is all up ; but there is still a line and a half awning." " Then add," said he, with the utmost dignity, " that they most au-tia.ci-ous-ly took and threshed it out on tic premises." many -.nappy v quite well, and fled to escape the contagion. The report of the plague at Smyrna is confirmed the deaths were only stated at five or six a day, but the alarm was excessive; all the bazaars and shops were shut, business was suspended, and out of a population of 200,000, about 20,000 had left the place. Constantinople was free from the plague up to the 25th ult. A meeting of the " National Union Society for improving the condition of the Poor," took place last week, which was numerously and respectably attended. The object of this society, which is to have auxiliary branches throughout the kingdom, is, to open schools of industry, in which all in die tress may be fed, clothed, and taught, under proper regulations. As soon as practicable, all capable of labouring will be placed upon land, or in situa tions, where they may be supported by their own earnings. This plan, if patronized by the King, would promise shortly to free the nation fiom pau perism, and greatly diminish crime. The half of what is now wasted in ardent spirits and gambling houses would furnish the means of accomplishing this noble design. Tit E SEA SERPENT.—This monster made his first appearance this season at Boothbay, on Sun. day last. He was seen again on Tuesday by two gentlemen at a distance of about sixty feet, and afterwards by ten or twelve citizens of Boothbay, as he passed and repassed several times about 150 feet distant from them. He is described by the Editor of the Wiscasset Journal, who was on the s; or, as from 150 to 200 feet in length, of a brown colour on the back, and a yellow brown on the belly. He moved with an undulating motion, like that of a leech, which his back the appearance of ills) bumps described by those who had previously seen him.—New York Paper. The following extraordinary case has been lately before the Tribunal of Correctional Police :- -A young Englishwoman named Isabella Dale, being found one night about eleven o'clock, seated on a bench in the street, was accosted by some police , officers, and being, from want of a knowledge of the French language, unable to give an account of herself, she was committed as a vagabond.— ' After remaining two mouths in confinement she was brought before the court, and on being interro gated through an interpreter, declared, that having lost her way and become fatigued, she had merely sat down to rest herself, that she had sufficient means of subsistence, and a home at the house of la M. Devillier's, whose wife was a fellow-coun- I trywoman. In consequence of this declaration the trial was put off for a week, and the court directed that M. Devilliers should be summoned to appear at the next hearing. Being called before the court again at the expiration of this period, the summon ing officer returned the warrant, with a declaration, that he had inquired at the address given him, but the porter replied, that no such person resided there. The young woman was consequently upon the point of being condemned as a vagrant, when Coun sellor Wollis requested a fin ther delay, in order that be might apply to the British Charitable Fund for the means of removing the prisoner out of the coun try. This further delay was granted, and the matter coming again before the Court on Tuesday last, M. said—" This affair presents a circumstance . which to me is totally incomprehensible, but ta, which I beg leave to call the most serious atten tion of the Court. The prkoner.referred to M. Devilliers: the summoning officer returns a decla-1 ration that he could not find hint at the address given. Now, gentlemen, M. Devilliers is a rich manufacturer in the rue des Gobelins, and is well known to every person in the neighbourhood, and lives in the identical house which the prisoner pointed out, and he is now in Court to verity my assertion. Nay, more, gentlemen, be was twice interrogated before the examining magistrate, and yet his depositions are not found among the docu ments laid before the Court, nor can any trace of them be discovered. (The judges here expressed their astonishment.) Whatever may be the cause of this, it cannot be sufficiently lamented, that such an occurrence should have caused the unjust im prisonment of an innocent woman, and have brought her to the very point of undergoing a sentence that would have loaded her unjustly with shame and disgrace." The Court thanked Mr. Wollis for his conduct in the matter, and lamented the circum stances he had exposed. Isabella Dale was imme diately acquitted and discharged.

When we say that the races passed off with brilliant solar, and that the success of these justly popular sports has been equal, if not superior, to that of former years, it willbe seen that all our most anxious anticipations have been realised, and supporters of the nationol amusements have been grad lkd to the fullest extent. From an early hour on Tuesday Morning, every road leading to Cheltenham, every street, every avenue by which the race course could be approached was crowded, and the course itself looked like one moving mass of human beings. The Grand Stand, built under the superintendence of the Messrs. leaned was much admired, and afforded ample accommodation to at least seven bundled persons. The course was laid down and formed under the personal direction of our bye-road surveyor, Mr. Maule, and was pronounced by , many moat competent judges to be second to none in the kingdom. It commands some of the most picturesque prospects in this district, and the gentle and scarcely perceptible ascent of the ground on each side of the winning poet, forming a spacious amphi theatre, Pre an excellent and unbroken view of the most interesting part of the race to upwards of tea thousand spectators. On Wednesday evening, thanks to the enterprising spirit of the proprietor of the Assembly Rooms, the dtstiaguisLed and fashionable residents and visitors of Cheltenham and its vicinity were gratified by the singular performance of the one-strin,ted violinist, Paganini, twice at the rooms, and again at the Theatre, in the brief space of twenty-four hours. At his first concert, the splendid ball room, specious as it is, was crowded in a very short time after the doors were thrown open, and nearly eight hundred personages of rank and fashion eitjoyed the rich musical treat afforded by his extraordinary powers. All that report has said of him, falls short, far short of the reality of his exquisite and masterly performance. His hand is extraordinarily wide and flexible ; and the ease with which he made the most Tepid shifts, and leaped successive octaves, must be heard to be credited ; and we can only add, that at the snood Concert on Thursday afternoon at the rooms, the audience was of the first order in fashion, brilliancy, and number.— Having said thus much of Paganini's performances, and paid due tribute to his professional deserts, we must depre cate the practice which the Signor seems to have too success fully adopted, of raising the prices at every place of exhi bition where lie appears. We are also bound to &siert. that after the very liberal, considerate, and very gentlemanly 1 manner in which the Messrs. Scarred sacrificed their own , interests to his advantage, and to the gratification of the public, 11 Signor behaved ill indeed to them, in bargaining .for a third performance on the evening set apart for the Steward's ball at the Montpelier Rotunda. Notwithstanding the crowded audiences attracted to the Assembly Rooms on Wednesday evening and Thursday af ternoon, by Paganini, there can be no doubt that the Theatre would have been thronged, but for the excitement occasioned by his unhandsome conduct not only to the Messrs. Jearrad, but also to Mr. De Ville, the manager, to wham he verbally agreed for two-thirds of the receipts, but afterwards refused to perform unless Mr. De Ville would pay him two hundred guineas ! At the time Paganini was to appear, the audience grew impatient, when the manager came forward and stated that the Signor was ill,and could not come; but said, that he knew his illness was merely an excuse, for that be had just left him at the Plough quite well, but that he would not move without having 200 guineas paid him. The manager deeply regretted the disappointment, but to show that he was no party to it, the audience might have their money repaid them at the doors. This offer lwas promptly accepted, and the cash refunded ; upon which a cry was raised, • To the Plough I to the Plough I" and hundreds of persons crowded down the streets, loudly vociferating for what they WY Pfoanini. After a great disturbance, and many negaisdas 1 between different gentlemen on the part of the Signer soil the manager, the Signor agreed to play, and to give his shme of the profits to the charitable institutions of the town, and off he started in a fly, escorted by some hundreds, and was well received at the Theatre, which filled to about 271. at the old prices. The crowd had taken every precaution to pre vent his escape ; and as popular indignation was roused,lsad it not been for the interference of several gentlemen, the Signor would have been very roughly handled. About 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, a fire broke out at Hill Farm, in the parish of Burleigh, near Glastonbury. which destroyed the whole of the cellars and a great part of the dwelling house, together with a quantity of wheat, peas, and cider ; in about au hour the fireman, accompanied by several individuals from Glastonbury, arrived with the engines, and succeeded in getting the flames under by one eclock. GREAT Tint or LINCOLN IN RIIINS !—The bell— the whole bell—exists no longer.

I throw in my mite in furtherance of these views, and cheer fully resign a privilege which custom alone can entitle me to. Vote therefore at all elections as you choose, without consulting me. or even inquiring how 1 shall vote, and be assured you will never hear any complaint from me on the subject. I claim no merit in resigning what does not be to me ; I am not the landlord of your votes, nor do you bold them under me as tenants at will. 1 am not our proxy by any legal aseignment ; your votes are not pledged to me by, any dams Inagreements; you are bound to cultivate your land well, , and keep everything In good ceder, and to pay your rents punctually.

Little traders and labourers, with families. for whose sustenance the profits of their labour very inadequately provide, are forced to - deny the wants of their children, In order to pro. vide money fur the tax collector. We will cite one instance out of a thousand such,—that of a poor man, who, being obliged to attend the asst eslast spring as a wit. new, found, on his return that his goods bad been seised for rent. Though having been so 11l previously as to be unable to follow his accustomed employment, and his wife having been ill for a considerable time also, he was unprovided with either rent or taxes. Previous to his attending the Amuses. he bad pawned one bed to pay the taxes, and his landlord, the very day after his rent was due, took all his other furniture for it. Commiseration fur the poor is a rare virtue. This poor man having pawned one of his beds, as before rated, was enabled, by the kindness of a benevolent friend, to redeem it, and it was the only one for himself and wife and four children. Was this a fit object of whom to demand taxes? in this miserable state, the poor man, who took a severe cold at the Assizes, died of consumption. Should his widow be pressed for the taxes? The Sur. veyor, when applied to, to relieve her from the taxes, having, no doubt, too many applications of the sort to listen to details of wretchedness, looked at the rate. book, and observed in reply, " She has not been excused her p!ordetes ; she cannot, therefore, be excused bee taxes." The fact is, the reverend gentleman, above seeing the distress of the family, a alert time since. slipped • three half.crowns into the hands of the afflicted mot ;- immediately after which, the Rate Collector called, to whom the poor woman • paid it. with sixpence more, the amount of his demand, leaving her family destitute of a meal. Thus charity was perverted; and through this, she will be enforced to pay a half year's taxes.

TILE CONCERT PITCII.NOt long ago, in the town of Bremen, a poor devil of a lute maker, encumbered with debts and a numerous progeny, and his affairs all going wrong together, was on the point of being made pt and seized.

DEATH OF Met. hi UDO E..—Tbe rumour which prevailed on Monday respecting the melancholy fate of Mudge, Private Secretary to his Excellency the Lieuteasa- Governor, was confirmed by the arrival of last nighti mail. A friend at York has furnished us with the tel. lowing melancholy particulars :—" I am just returned aria seeing the body, and I now regret that I ever looked at it. He dined, as usual, at the Government House—retuned home and went to bed, and even put out his light, for the candlestick was near his bed's head, with the extingui•l'd upon it. He used his rifle for the purpose—lying on his back, he must have taken it near the muzzle, tea his left hand, and with the ramrod in his right, toutki the trigger, the muzzle being in or very near Ms mouth. The ramrod was in his band when I P e ' him. The contents went through thej upper part of tiz front of the head, carrying away a large portion ni the two part of the skull over the nose and left eye. His servant tVd not hear the report of the rifle, and therefore his master's situation was not distovered until he went up to call On about seven o'clock on Friday morning. The only iota ginable cause that I have heard mentioned is, that a rails! of his lately committed suicide in England, and therefore it is thought that there has been a constitutional tendency to that unhappy state of mind which leads to this melanebelf, extremity. I am just told, that yesterday at dinner see during the evening, ha did not appear to pay his usual sue' lion to those who addresad him, and to thegentleman who took particular notice of his conduct, he sometimes appeared ha' ried and talkative, and again silent and & went. 1 have DeLe x witnessed anything which has made to deep an imPre s " ea my mind, as the remains of this unhappy young man. — But yesterday be lived in youth, end apparent health sna_ i prosperity—to-day he is a spectacle fearful to look upon, 23, " most melancholy to reflect upon. Verdict of the Cororne ,Inquest—lnsanity. Mr. Mudge was a gentleman of antiabk manners, and In every respect qualified for the importan t tuition which he held. His death must be regretted by A" who had th e pleasure of being personally acquainted will him, and a loss to the public service.—Upper Cersai.o Herald.
