After dinner, when the usual toasts had been delivered from the Chair, the health of the County !Vauban was proposed, and received with loud ac clamation; when Mr. Coas rose, and, in a speech frequently inter rupted by loud applause, expressed his political sen• timents in that manly strain of eloquence so peculiar to himself, and pointed out the miseries arising from ' the present system of Government. Idr.Wonatiouse also alluded to the depressed state of agriculture. The health of the Town Members, the Marquis of *Tichfield and Colonel Walpole, was also pro- posed ; when The Noble MARQUIS rose and returned his best thanks for the toast they had just drank. This was the first occasion of his being in the town since the day when he had the honour of being chosen to a share in its representation. He could assure them he rejoiced in the opportunity afforded by this an nual meeting for their Members to come among them, because it gave their Representatives means of learning their sentiments, and becomfng acquainted with their wishes; and so highly did he value it, that as long as he remained in the honourable station he was holding, he should never willingly fail to take ad vantage of the festivities customary in the town at that season, for the purpose of paying his respects to the Gentlemen connected with it, He was quite aware be was meeting on that occasion, which he deemed purely convivial, persons of all parties and opinions; and he knew too well what was due to that consider ation to say one word that could be thought incon sistent with it: but in consequence of the recent cir cumstances regarding the Administration, V 1 hich had placed a near relation of his in nearly the most dis tinguished situation a Minister could fill, and by which he became, in the opinion of many, virtually the first Minister of the country, and in consequence of having found, as he had t6"Ws surprise, some per• sons imagining that his political conduct might re ceive some variation from that occurrence, he felt he owed it in justice alike to himself 'and to his consti tuents not to let slip the first moment for observing publicly, that no step of any relation, connexion, or friend, however dear to him, or however much the object of his admiraticin, could possibly produce the smallest effect upon the performance of the great duties he owed to his constituents and. the country. He trusted, in making this one remark, he should not be considered as having obtruded it; he hoped and believed it could be offensive to no man ; and he would cetainfy have abstained from making it at all, if he had not been apprehensive that his silence on the subject, when he had that opportunity of de daring himsel4 might have allowed doubts to remain, or might have caused doubts to spring up, in quarters where he should much regret to hear they had ever been entertained. He concluded by proposing the health of the Mayor, observing, that the person who then filled the office was, all would allow, pre-emi nently entitled to their respect and gratitude. The toast having been drank, with much applause, Colonel Evenano, in a neat speech, returned thanks. Several other toasts were given, and the evening was passed with the utmost conviviality. In 1791, a pound of fine cotton, which cost 7s. 6d. was spun into yarn, measuring 97 post miles, of the value of £22. It was sent to Glasgow, and there made into muslin, which , A as presented to her late Majesty Queen CHARLOTTE. To such a pitch of perfection has almost every ar ticle of machinery obtained, that those only can be lieve who witness its wonderful effects. A machine for the dressing of cloth has recently been erected in Leeds, which does as much in forty : five minutes as two men could do in two days ! consequently a num ber of industrious workmen are likely to be thrown out of employment, and with their families, will per haps become paupers. The price of flour on Monday was 30s. 355. to 40s. a sack. The bakers having generally charged 2d. per pound for bread, it is proper to give the Public a calculation of the real expense to the baker. A bitch of household bread consists of one-fourth of the finest flour and three-fourths of North country, or second qualities: The present value of flour to the baker is not more on this average than 8.55. per sack, to which must be added for salt, labour, and profit, 13s. 4d. per sack, and which is held by the bakers themselves as being fully su ffi cient. The expense of a sack of flour baked into household bread, with a fair profit to the baker included, it therefore 48s. 4d. One sack of flour of this description will produce 863 2-161 b. weight of bread, and therefore led. per lb. is the full value, in the present state of the market, for the best description of household bread, being as near 7d. for the quartern loaf as pos sible. The new Act may do much good when the Public become acquainted with it ; but 2d. per lb. is dearer than the quartern-loaf was last week. A quartern-loaf weighs 41b. 51 t oa. and a sack of house hould flour produces 84 of them. CROYDON Fain.--Yesterday morning this fair com menced with great spirit, and was much crowded by a respectable-company, seldom witnessed on such oc casions. The theatrical booths of Richardson, Gyn gel, Cook, antl Rrydges, and other itinerants of the sock and buskin r and all the sleight of hand talent fronr London attended numerouslj, and the joskine in that neighbourhood suffered'Materially from the mode of performance by the light-fingered gentry,. Although in the country, 4 , Life ss. London" was not forgotten, and it was played off in prime style; but the dresses were the chief attraction. The perform ances altogether were fair, and the paint and tinsel which decorated the fair sex in the booths attracted much attention. This fair lasts for three days, and the shopkeepers are very conspicuous every year for •,elling pig and goose. Saturday se'norght three great fish, of the whale tribe, but much exhausted, Here taken on a shoal, near Wexford, and cut up by the country people who , discovered there--the blubber yielded above 200 Fett lons of fine clear oil. -~- --~ •--~-~-r-~-- _ ...

Their loads of hay and various kinds of Corn, were thrown out of the cars, promiscuously into the church-yard, and such was, the prevalence of the' ystem of terror that not a man, could be got to stack or rescue the confused mass. —With a view to bring them to Mallow, * distance of about four mile s f rom t hi s Ch urc h- yar d, and Urere to have the corn and hay properly secured, Mr. Ben nett hired the horses which were afterwaills so bar barously maimed ; and on the same night on Which this cruel act was committed, a notice was posted, containing the terrific threat, that , g if any one pre sumed to draw that corn, &c. he may bring his coffin with him r The menace had the desired effect. Mr. Bennett has been unable to get any assistance in re .moving his property from the Church-yard, and there it lies. The outrages in that neighbourhood were not confined to the above-mentioned facts- 7 -they were numerous and appalling, as we learn by a letter re ceived this day from a Gentleman who resides in the house of the High Sheriff, at Churchtown, dated on Wednesday night, which contains the following alarming expressions Burning every night quite close to us—it has now the appearance of St. John's eve—we can see the fires quite plain ! It is scarcely necessary to remind our readers of the practice on the night of the 28d of June, the eve of, St. John's-day, of lighting bonfires in every part of the country. It appears that those ruffians, who are thus setting the country in a flame, have been insti gated by persons possessing much more knowledge than could be expected from the wretched instru ments employed in those outrages. The incendiaries being aware of the vigilance of the Magistracy, the military, and the police, bane procured a chemical preparation, which being placed in a stack of hay or corn, sets fire to it in some time after the preparation has been deposited; those miscreants then, by being aia distance from the fire, escape with impunity.— This has been rendered manifest by an occurrence which took place on Tuesday night. Sir HUGH GOMM, the Officer who commands the military in Buttevant, and the surrounding district, having re ceived information of the intention of burning a hag gard, on that night stationed a party of soldiers in, ambush, hoping thereby not only to prevent the mis chief, but also to seize on those who intended to com mit it. After waiting a considerable time, the party, to their inexpressible surprise, beheld the haggard burst out into flames, without the appearance of any agent to produce the conflagration." A Galway Paper says—" Fever every day adds to the sick list of some of our worthyband most useful citizens. Drs. Browne, Keogh, and O'Shatighnessy, are t t his moment lying under the infection, the ma lignity of which has attacked and is oppressing a greater number than can be well conceived by any persons not immediately on the spot. lizAvzs alone knows where it -will end; and every person. whn can at all leave our ill-fated town, is doing so—our streets are in a manner deserted. The Hospital, as we before mentioned, is full to excess, sand people complain pretty generally that the convalescent are not suffered to remain a sufficient length of time in the House appropriated to their reception." IRISH PAUPERS.—One hundred and sixty-six Irish paupers, of both sexes, have been removed within the last four months from the parish of Poplar, to Mr. DAVIS, the Passmaster fir the county of Middlesex, for the purpose of being passed home to Ireland.— The expense thus incurred by the parish is £74. 145. being at the rate of 9s. a head for each pauper. Mr. ROBERT ILLINGWORTH, of Dewsbury, has had this year two crops of peas on the same land. On the 26th of February he sowed early peas, which were ripe in July, when he again sowed part of them as seed ; and on the 22d of the present month he ga thered, of the new crop, a peck of fine green peas, and has abundance yet to pluck. Talking of the threatened invasion by the French, in 1798, Admiral Lord BRIDPORT drily observed— ., They might come as they could; for his own part he could only say, that they should not come by water 1" The new navigable cut at Old Windsor was opened on Thursday last. The advantage of this improve ment to the navigation will be ♦ery great. The Sierra Leone Gazette of the -20th of July says —" We have again to bear testimony to the success ful zeal of Lieutenant Haan in the cause of Africa and of suffering humanity. Yesterday this distin guished Officer brought into harbour a large Portu guese brig with 300 slaves on board : she proves to be the Estrella, M. P. dos Santos, master, cleared out at Bahia for Malembo, and furnished with a Royal passport to take slaves from that place; she was, however, seized in the Bight of Benin, :Inc 'days from Lagos, where her cargo of human flesh was shipped. The Estrella had been previously boarded by the Thistle off Cape Coast Castle, at which time the Mas ter professed himself to be bound to Elmina for a supply of water, provisions, kc. to enable him to pro ceed on his voyage ; but it now appears, that the only supply he procured was canoes, which, we lament to state, are there furnished to every slave-vessel with out the least reserve. 4 , in the River Calabar, Lieutenant Hagan detained another Portuguese vessel, the San Jose Hallaxa, with 20 laves on board. This vessel, - a schooner, was found on examination to be in so leaky a state that she could 4 ,not be brought to this port; she was there fore destroyed, the slaves being first removed on board the Thistle. Donna Maria da Cruz, daughter of the notorious Gomez, of Prince's Island, is the sole owner of the San Jose Hallaxa. The schooner Conceicao, condemned in the Mixed Court some time since, was also the property of the same Lady, who, it would s eem, bids fair to rival her father in-slave-cl;aling noto , riety. Gomez was formerly Governor of Prince's Island, --and at present holds a high station among the Hon. Council of his Most Faithful hlvdcstr 10 that Wand."

The match between Betteridge, the Berkshire runner, and West, the Canterbury man, took place on Tuesday, for 100 guineas, a short distance fro mi that city. It was a match which attracted mach company. The pedestrians ran ten miles against each other, and Betteridge woe it, doing the ten miles within an hour. Another match, which exceeds any pedestrian feat on record, took place yesterday morning, in Cranbourn Grove, Windsor Forest : numeral, a Gentleman's groom, was matched by his master for 100 guineas, to run tee miles. in 56 minutes, whisk we believe was never before attempted.

A quarrel took place hist market-day at Frome, in Somerset shire, between/two men a when about to set-to, one of them ob served that his opponent had but one eye, and, scorning to take the leasradvantage, immediately and gallantly tied his handker chief over one of his own eyes ; but, not being accustomed to be hoodwinked, this brave fellow was soon obliged to knock-under to his one-eyed antagonist. Dr. Bumf, now Physician to Greenwich Hospi tal, is said to wear the ball, mounted as a brooch, which caused the death of the brave Lord NELSON, in the battle of Trafalgar. The passion of Da-Luc, the natural philosopher, for music was so predominant in his latter days, that a piano was placed by his bed-side, on which his daughter played great part of the day. The evening of his death, seeing her father ready to sink into a slumber, she asked him—" Shall I play any more ?" -" Keep playing," said he, " keep playing."—He slept ; but awoke no more! BLUCHER'S MONUMENT.—It is known that the late Field-Marshal BLUCHER had selected a spot be tween Kirblowitz and Waigwitz to be the place of his interment, over which he had expressed a wish that the only memorial of his interment should be a plain stone. After considerable search, a great mass of granite was found on the south side of the moun tain Zobten, near Gorkau, out of which a cube of 24. Rhenish feet in breadth, and the same in height, was to be cut, in order to be placed over the grave. When the cutting bad proceeded to about 1$ feet deep, it was found that the mass of granite was cut through by a layer of crumbling clay ; in conse quence of, which the monument cannot be more than 13 feet in height, besides not being an exact cube. The block is still considerable, and will weigh from 10 to 12,000 quintals. For three years, a master stone-cutter, and 16 assistants, with two men to clear away the rubbish, have been daily em ployed, from May to November, to release the block from its position. It now stands, as it were, in a deep , hole, and is supported solely by the props around and benriath it. The hammer or chissel were but of little use in shaping this colossal block; powder, of which six or seven pounds were daily used, was found necessary to blast it. The removal of the block is expected to be attended with considerable trouble. Racottacrioms.r-There is great reason to believe that the celebrated Regicide and usurper, Oliver Cromwell, died just in.good time to save his power and reputation; many circumstanceshavetranspired which afford foundation for this opinion. Among others the following anecdote, frequently related by the late Lord Chief Justice Willis, may be taken as one :—A cause respecting a right of common came on to be tried before that Learned Judge, at Cambridge, and upon the accuracy of the testim on y g iven b y a -farmer of the age of 95, it was decided in favour of the right. The venerable appearance of the witness attracted the particular attention of his Lordship, who had generally a particular curiosity to inves tigate the causes of longevity. He put several questions to the old man, relative to the his tory of his times. In answer to one of them, he said, he remembered the death of old Cromwell very well. 66 What time of the year was it r said the Judge.—" Why, for the matter of that," he replied, 66 I seldom reckon by the months, but I remember it was between hay harvest and bean glean ing, and that I and several other boys went out steal- ing bean stubbles to make a bonfire " And were yeu not afraid of the Just said his Lordship.
