..0, I 16: PAC.ININI. ' FASHIONS FOR JULY. (From the La:ly's Magazine.) IP I Of all the beasts which Nature made, With just no other view Than to surprise our mortal eyes, And show what she could do; Of monsters in the air or deep, Four-footed, fitted, or finny. There's none to be compar'd at all To Signor Paganini. With lowing hair, and forehead pale, And eyes of earnest fire, He's just what Dr. Rice would call A musical Messiah. The man that mocks the thrushes, 02 The man that chop. his chin, he Is/no.hing at all, believe me—no— TA Signor Paganini. An air with variations, That run up all the score He'll play as well on one string As some folks can on four. A violin's but a fiddle, And yet I'll bet a guinea, A violin turns to what you please, In the hands of Paganini. acb instrument, by turns, it is, That sounds in peace or war; Now the Apollonicon, And now the light guitar— And now it is a little bled, That sits up in a tree; That sits and sings, till another begin., . And sings as well as be. All mends which earthly passion breat es, With fingers long and limber, The Signor can elicit front This most harmonious timber ; What does Mr. Mathews say ? Is it not surprising To hear a little bit of wood ! Mono.poly-logue-izing ? Sometimes it is a beggar woman, With an infant at her breast, With 'plaining moan, and pleadirg tone, Most piteously exprest ; Sometimes a little fretful child, That roars with desperation, While Paganini belabours hint With right good flagellation. Sometimes, bow and viol struck, Like flint and steel togtther, Give sparkles of sweet sound that fall Like stars in frosty weather; Now lightly glancing, one by one, They momently shine and die, And now in a show'ring profusion of sparks, Rocket-like, fall front high. Sometimes the note breaks forth so large, You'd rather not be near it ; Sometimes so very small and thin, You wonder you can hear it : Suddenly comes a hu!.hub wild Of inarticulate words; Is this the House of Gammons, Or is it the House of Lords ? Last, 'tis some fair cantatrice, Whom he holds In his arms, Gazing most einapturedly, And wildly on her charms ; " Be mine, sweet maid," the fiddler cries, " My life. my love, my hinney !" " Not I, you brute!" the nymph replies, " Sweet, do!" says Paganini. P. W. flastavaviows ox W UJUNG DRESS —Mine silk dresses and pelisses are worn, the material called quingamp de sole is generally preferred; it is similar In quality to gros de Naples but Is figured in little squares, and shot in vari ous reflections . it is often setn in myrtle or Polish green. White dresses are seldom seen in walking costume without beirg lined with colored silk; we may attribute this to the great prevalence of white in the bonnets and hats. Every species of figured muslin Is in high favour (particularly those with coloured grounds.) the designs on which are printed in colonnades. and often in detached bunches. Not withstanding the warmth of the weather, chalis still conti. rue to be worn in preference to silks; the daily improve ment of this manufacture in lightness and beauty causes it to he held in much estimation. White muslin and a net pelisse robins back a la tonic, to show a coloured gros de Naples high dress beneath, is the most elegant costume now seem ORSESVATIONS ow EVENING Daus.—The leading fea. ture in evening dress is the absence of whole colours; every tltiag is figured or painted. Silk muslin and organdi in rich patterns There is more fulness in the corsage than of late, and the upper sleeve is arranged with much taste and rovelty. Flounces are still confined to full dress, and even tt , en only partially worn ; they are generally of lace or blonde, very deep, with little fulness, and headed with lace; the front of the dress is then generally trimmed en tahlier, to meet the flounce ; in this cue the skirts are gored and sloped, but of a great width at the bottom. Belts and aehi tures, and bracelet bands are manufactured of rich baseade to suit the colour of the dress. Caps.—Morning caps are with slight mobs, and are a little in the form of those of Mary. Queen of Scots. British lace is the material preferred. Blond promenade hats ore worn with very little variation in evening dress. A few,bows of blond riband, mixed with tuft.; of cut riband, from which spring numerous little esprit plumes of small birds' feathers, are at present the principal novelty. Ham—The Chinois style of dressing hair is now quite exploded. Natural curls am coming into favour; but the hair is still arranged in high bows on the crown. Bauch a Is Ferroniere are on the decline, but in their place leaves of minute flowers are worn across the brow. JawsLLEßY.—Enamelled jewels are still worn in pro. menade and dinner dress; festoons of pearls, or chains if small coloured stones, mixed with enamelled medallions. for full costume. Patriots —The newest parasols are of a very light and fanciful cut; the partitions are deeply cur, and the knobs finishing the frame continued so low, and so tastefully wrought, that the parasol looks like a canopy of vandykes ; 'they are similar in shape to some seen an very old china. The handle is eceptre.shaped, They are not now embroi dered. Cotouas.—The reigning colours are jonquille and Me laide blue, and vapeur, u lining to muslin welkin dresses ; shades of dark green, as laurel green, Poliah green, and myrtle green; tea green of various shades; the more bril liant greens are softened by white crape linings to bonnets, and are wan under net of muslin tunics. (From the Royal Lady's Magazine.) CARRIAGE DREsk—A robe-pelisse of sat'n, colour bright Green, lined and faced with rose-coloured Bros de Naples. The corsage is cut rather lower than usual, and displays, to great advantage, a chemisette of cambric, which is made very full in front, and finely plaited lengthwise. Two plaited frills of cambric surround the collar, one of which is continued to the waist. The skirt has no other trimming than the facing, which is continued from the waist across the bust, to the back. Sleeve very large at the upper part, but small below the elbow. The upper sleeve is ornamented with three large leaves, set on full, and meeting a point a little above the bend of the arm, where they are terminated by a mend of satin. A beautiful capote is worn with this dress s it is composed of white crape and satin : the front is of the cottage shape, and is alp d with blond. The crown is low, and surrounded by a guirlande of roses, with their foliage. Above the roses are placed &nines of crape and blond, Intermingled with dents of fringed tiband.

The court accordingly adjourned to the dwelling of this unfortunate man. John Mylev, labourer, sworn, and examined by Mr. Cu telloe ; I live in Newtownbarry ; I was wounded by a ball on Saturday week ; it passed undtr my shoulder behind, and out at my collar hone ; I was is such a position at the time that I could sec the man that shot me ; I saw him for mote than a quarter of an bone before ; I know the man that shot me; his name is Alick (Alexander) Jordan; he is a yea man, of the Newtownbarry corps. By the Coroner. To the best of my knowledge I was about three or four perches from the man when be shot me; I say I saw distinctly the man when he shot me • then wu no man with him at the time ; he was by himself ; he was ten or eleven yards from the rest of the yeomen, and sin. gled out at their backs, upon the footpath that goes down to the pound ; the other yeomen were at the time in their ranks in the middle of the road, with their faces to the ri vet; I dld'nt hear any other shots fired after that, for a quarter of an hour, to the best of my knowledge ; I didn't fall when I received the wound ; 1 didn't fall till I went down to Bunnilane bridge, below the pound, anti front the shock I gave myself crossing a wall, I fell there. I then crept on my hands and feet into Mr. Kennedy's field, and up to a little rise or bank, where I remained; this was about ten minutes after ; I walked from that, after remain ing there an hour, I went to Peter Fenellan's • when the doctors dressed me T was put to bed, and have remained here ever sines ; I did not see any other person fall on that day, but on my way home, I saw numbers of killed and wounded ; people were lyin g on the broad of their backs, bat I cant tell whether t hey were killed or wounded ;at the time I was lying in Mr. Kennedy's field, I could hear the shots flying over my head ; I didn't do anything to the man that shot me; I never lifted or threw a stone at Alick Jordan, or gave him any offence ; Ile did speak to me before be shot me ; Myler," says he, "stand back, or I'll shoot you." " For what, Alick, ' says I, " did I ever offend one belonging to you ?" " No matter," says he, " I'll take your life, if I can, for what passed a month ago ;" I couldn't tell what was the meaning he bad for it, if it wean% the bonfire we had here in the street ; he asked me on Friday what was the card I was carrying, and said he would mark me for carrying the card about the fair. Examined by Mr. Robinson—The conversation occurred between us shortly before I was shot; he was it his ranks at the time, and I was passing down quite close to him at the time ; he was facing me then, and when he shot me, it was at the side of the shoulder blade behind; there was no noise at the time nor shouting ; he was facing me when he shot me ; I turned round my shoulder when I saw him cock his piece and level it at me, and the ball went in ; there were no other shots fired at that time; that was the first shot I heard fired that day; I was standing in Mr. Blake's Dawn just near the pound at the time, eight or nine yards front Mr. Blake's door, about a yard in off the road; the yeomen were standing about ten or eleven perches above the pound, nearer to Newtownbarry, facing the river ; they were all standing in a line at the time; I saw the police at the time, all in a rank, and the cows in the middle of them, waiting to get orders to bring them to town; at the time I received the ball then was no noise or shouting; I saw stones thrown—about four or five, or, may be, six gassoonv standing on the ditch were throwing them ; they were standing on Mr. Kennedy's ditch, opposite the pound, on the Sl.tney side; Friday was a fair day in Newtownbarry ; I was carrying a placard that day ; I can't read, and don't know what was on it ; I got it front the man that owns the cows; be bid me go and carry it through the streets from about twelve till half-past three o'clock, and lie would give me a shilling; it was Doyle's son gave it to me ; he was • great deal older than me ; I did not carry that placard at all on Saturday. To the jurors.—l didn't hear Captain Graham give the command to fire that day ; he wasn't near me at the time ; he was up with yeomen when I was shot ; Jordan stood in the centre of the ranks when he first spoke to me, and as I moved down to the lower end, he followed to the end of the ranks next the pound ; he was then talking to Hawkins the butcher • he asked him did he think they would have any firing th ere that day; and Hawkins said he hoped they would, that they might have satisfaction for what passed the other day ; Hawkins name is Joe; he belongs to the En niscorthy corps, but lives in Newtownbarry ; Hawkins was in his own corps, and Jordan fell into the ranks with hhn,his gun on his shoulder as well as the rest, ; I did not see them charge bayonets, or prod the people with them ; their bayonets were fised, and their guns shouldered ; when I saw Jordan going to level at me, I prayed to Gut whether I would take it in at my face ; 1 turned by back, and received it in my shoulder; the Newtownbarry corps were next Newtownbarry, and the Enniscorthy next the pound, when the brig shot was fired; James Flaherty was the first man who came near me in Mr. Kennedy's field ; he asked me where 1 was wounded and I couldn't speak for throwing up blood ; he covered me with his coat ; I first discovered I was wounded after I recovered from throwing up blood; it was before Jordan fired he fell into the Enniscorthy corps, didn't see where he went after; I didn't know rightly at the time that I was shot, but I felt a little sharp sting; 1 opened my coat at the time, and put up my hand; and my finger went into the hole in my shoulder, and when I felt that 1 went off as fast as 1 could; there were no country people close to me; they were all at each end of the yeo men ; 1 was singled out by myself, and no person within six yards of me at the time I was wounded; 1 didn't know any one of the people within sight of me at the time ; I heard no more conversation to my knowledge between Hawkins and Jordan than I hare told ; there was another man, a butcher from Enniscorthy, with red whiskers—a thin, spare man, within hearing of the conversation between them as well u me ; I don't know his name. On returning to the court-house, Mr. Robinson men tioned that a gentleman had tendered evidence on one point, which he would like to have taken just then. The Rev. William Hickey, of Ratheormack, J.P. sworn and examined by Mr. Robinson I was at Newtowubarry on Saturday, the nth instant, when returning home from the county Carlow; I saw a countryman on that occasion with a gun—a musket like, but I think shorter. it was longer than that one (a policeman's) ; when I met him, he was near a fort on the Kildavin side of Alyeahill; I asked him was it true what I had heard, that a number of country people had been killed that day at Newtownbarry by the yeomen or military ; I had heard the occurrence from different persons I had previously met on ' the road ; I had stopped to water my horse, and took the , opportunity to converse with the man about it; the man told me it was true that several lives were lost—persons killed. I observed, " Is it possible that the yeomanry or police could have fired upon an unarmed people ?" he said they were unarmed ; 1 then inquired, " Are you certain, or did you see it ?" or words to that effect ; he replied, " Didn't I see them myself fall about me ?" I then ob served that it was a shocking matter, end I should go on; I asked if the streets were very crowded with the yeomen and the people; he said yes, and that the yeomen were in Capt. Graham's yard ; the man shrilled me not to go in, as It was dangerous • I observed I wasn't afraid to go on ; be then said, " Ob, perhaps, there's Do danger it yea," rather ern. phatically, I think • it entered into my mind to a sk him if he was a yeoman, Waving a gun in his hand; " No," he re plied," I am not ;" and he passed on with another man in his company ; he was a smart well-dressed countryman, and larger in sire than his companion ; be was a perfect stran ger to me. kxamined by Mr. Costelloe—l conceive that I was also a perfect stranger to him ; from my observation of human na ture in this country, I think the Irish a remarkably shrewd, intelligent people, not apt to place tull confidence in stran gers; I think it likely, if he thought me of an opposite party, he would put me on a wrong scent; from my observation about the armed party firing on the unarmed people, I think it not improbable that the man might have conceived I dis approved of the act; with that impression on his mind, he might have denied that lie was a yeoman, though he were one, but I think he was telling the truth ; the conversation with him was about three o'clock in the day ; I do not think that pelting of some stones from unarmed peasants upon a r body of armed men, woad be sufficient to justify the firing . of the later, unless in def,:nce of life. To the Jurors.-- The man with the gun had not cram belts or a cartridge box on him ; I do nut think it would be prudent fora yeoman, at that time, after the occurrence, to be so far from the town by himself; if an armed l'rotes tam, not a yeoman, were not known to have been in the affray, I think, from the quiet state of the country, he would not have rm. any risk whatever on the pert of tee road where I wu; I didn't know them were any yeomen from the klyshill district that day In Newtownbarry ; if I, u one of the magistrates, signed a requisition to yeomanry to petform a certain duty, I would, were I not a clergyman, consider it my duty to attend them and superintend he per formamee, and even as a clergyman I would do it, if no other would. The Coroner here said-Ind so would I. 'here pub licly declare it to be my opinion, that the magistrates who did nogg go with the armed force brought here by their re- Vain, sad ael in concert with each o th er in perform ollsOer duly was to be done, grossly neglected their Robinson—We ate not trying the magistrates here. Henry Hogan; a Fervent and labourer, sworn, and enantined by Mr. Costelloe—l was on the road near the wed of Newtownbarry on Saturday. the 18th in. Oast ; I saw stones thrown, and falling amongst the yeomen ; I know Captain Gr aham well ; he was thou; at the time the stones were thrown, I was about ten yards from him; I heard him give an order to the flten to fire; I heard three fire; I heard one shot f ret, other shwa after, and then a general firing; after the general firing, I did hear some shots • I know the names and persons of individuals whom I saw in ma that occasion ; I saw Alick Jordan, James Devit, Join Deacon, Joe Radwell, Sam Radwell, Tom Radwell; and John Perrin ; I can't name any one else ; I saw persons fire shots after that, but I don't know their names; I knew a yeoman, named Rogan, who is new dead ; I saw him fall on that day ; I saw a person whom I know fire a shot by which Rogan was injured; be was John Moulton, a yeoman • at the time Rogan fell, he left the ranks be ad vanced ab out five steps forward; I saw him fire in the di rection of the water (Shiley) at a man going into the field I saw Moulton rise his gun and fire it ; he took aim, as I suppose, at men inside the field ; and at the time he fired Rogan fell; after Rogan fell, I heard other shots fired, but saw none; I was not wounded ; I was standing on the road at the time of the firing ; a yeoman belonging to Captain Graham's corps, a friend of mine, pulled me into the ranks when I was going to cross the ditch, when the first shot was fired, aced prevented me from leaving them ; it was to this I think I was indebted for my safety; I know the name of the man who saved me ;It is William Radwell; the men whose names I mentioned first fired on the first firing ; it was after that I saw Rogan and Moulton fire. Examined by Mr. Robinson : I was standing by the yeomen's sides when I saw the stones thrown, and falling among the yeomen ; this was at the end of the line nearest Nee townbArry ; they were not marching at the time, they were in ranks standing—some of them in a round circle, up and down ; sonic of them had their fronts to the Slaney, and more of them not; the yeomanry were across the road at the time the stones were thrown ; I was about ten yards from Captain Graham at the time ; I was partly on the centre of the road; Cap tabs Graham was on the lower side of the road, next to the Money ; he was about seven yards from where the first shot was fired ; it was fired farther from the town than where he was; I saw the person who fired the first shot; it was im mediately before that shot was fired that I heard Captain Graham give the orders to fire—just at the moment; the man who fired the first shot was within four or five yards of Captain Graham. I could not describe the manner in which Captain Graham gave the orders to fire, nor how he expressed it; I heard and saw him give the orders to fire ; the yeomanry were across the road at the time— not marching towards Newtownbarry, but some of them with their faces in different directions ; I saw the police there at the time, and the cows before them on the road; Colrain Graham's horse's bead was faced down toward s the pound when he gave the orders to fire; he made use of more words than fire in giving orders, but I did not undertand what they were i be spoke it out in a very loud voice ; he was not upright; he was on a stoop, with his hand behind him; when he gave the words to fire, he leaned side ways; I can't say how long it was between the first end succeeding shots, but it was a very short time ; from the first shot to the last the firing held about six or eight mi nutes • I saw no disturbance at all when Capt. Graham gave the orders to fire, but I heard them speaking—not one man shouting more than another, but talking loud by some, and others as loud as I am speaking ; the men I have mentioned belong to Captain Graham's corps ; at the time Captain Graham pre the orders to fire the yeo manry were facing him, and one of them asked him if he would not give them leavit to lire, as the crowd were coral g on them ; he replied some words which I am not able to re peat, but he gave them ordeta at the same time to fire; I was standing along with the yeomanry at that time; after the first shot was tired I wanted to run away over the ditch, and it was then }lndwell pulled me into the ranks ; he stood at one side of me, and another on the other aide of me, whose name I don't know; I did'at leave the yeomen, but moved u they moved, till after the firing had ceased; when Captain Graham gave the orders to fire, all the yeomen wheeled round, facing the crowd, some of whom were on the ditches, and more running away along the road; I turned with the yeomanry ; those persons I named were some of them three and some four yards from one, and some of them I could lay my hand on if I stretched it out— some in front, and part sideways; they did not all fire at once on getting the order; some of them fired a short space of time before the rest, not more than a quarter of a minute; some of the seven men men tioned fired first separately, and some of them together, I swear I saw distinctly all those persons fire; Joe Radwell was the farthest from me; in or about four or five yards; 1 didn't see any man killed by those six or seven shots; some of the people were within ten yards of the yeomen when the first shot was fired, and they all scattered immediately through the fields, and on the road; at the second shot some were from fourteen to twenty yards from them; I didn't see Captain Graham after the first shot was fired; I was too much frightened to look to me him ; I saw every man running away after the first shot; it was not long after the first six or seven shots that I saw Rogan fall; be was about seven yards front me • Moulton was at the Newtown berry side of Rogan, beh i nd him , both facing the river; Rogan was shot in ihe side of the eye; he was wheeling round to return to his ranks, after firing at the man going over the ditch, when Moulton shot him • Moulton was with in about six yards of Rogan when he sh ot him, and nearer to Newtownbarry than he was; there were a great many shots fired besides the de or seven. To the Coroner.—When Captain Graham gave the orders to tire, I saw him, but the yeomen all wheeled round, and turned with him, and I saw the men on my left fire ; the -nu on my right was the man who saved me, and to the beet of my knowledge he didn't fire a shot that day. To the Jurors.—Alick Jordan was the man that fired the first shot ; he fired over towarda• the trees where the people were running away, on the side next the river ; he was near the middle of the road; at the commencement, the New. townbarry corps were next the pound ; at the time the cat tle left the pound with the police, they advanced a little, and some of them were then next Newtownbarry; I don't know whether there were any other yeomen between them and the Enniscotthy corps ; the yeomen I saw firing were on my left,and Rogan was in front on the same side of the road bet ween me and the pound ; I was as nearßogan as the men who fired; there was smoke certainly when they find, but none of it was ' between me and Hogan ; the police were behind me, nearer to Newtownbarry than the yeomen, but I can't say how far; I don't think any policeman could be near Hogan at the than without my seeing him ; there was no person between Moulton and Rogan when he was shot ; the reason, I believe, that shot killed him was that I saw no other fired towards him, and that he fell ; I do mean that lam quite sure that shot killed him, as I saw no other man rise or firs towards him at the time ; and mom% gentlemen, because I heard Moulton curse out a Marge oath to hisamarados, as he was charging again, that he bad killed Rogan Instead of another person; when the firing ceased, the yeomen returned to Newtownbany • I remained behind, and west towards where Rogan was lying ; I never knew Meyler, who was wounded, though living about the town, till that day; I didn't see him near the pound ; I law Alick Jordan leave his ranks when be fired the shot ; he ad vanced a few steps out of where he was standing, and he turned into his ranks a; in after firing ; I saw one of the yeomen attempt to prod I 'self with his bayonet that day before there was any provoca 'm, or any crowd)gathered near them ; I did not see them attempt it at others during the day again, but I saw the police afterwards present their guns and bay onets at the people upon the ditch, and desiring them to keep back at the time the cattle were driving out of the pound towards Newtownbarry; there was no countryman Reif me when I was bid to stand back, and the yeoman mode a thrust at me with his bayonet; I know the yeoman who made a thrust at me ; his name is Wm. Cowan ; he didn't hurt me, but would, I suppose, if be wasn't prevented; I am ' no doe d following the yeomanryleaving Newtownbarryg:/ to the pound, but a f e w ga s soons , a nd si x people who appeared going home from the market, with their horses and cue, and some people drawing lime ; the gramma shouted ; only for William Radwell, who caught him, Co wa n wo u ld have bun me with his halbert; it was a halbert he had ; he swots he would rue it th my guts, if I didn't leave the tad; I saw both a lei and a sword in Captain Graham's hand *hen he gave the orders to fire. This completed the witness's evidence, and as it was five o'clock when it was concluded, the court adjourned imme diately after till ten o'clock next morning. MARRIED.—R.

SHEFFIELD COORANT, July 1. handle:ism occasionally takes place in different parts of the country : one case occurred last week, in Lincolnshire. In the same county, twenty acres of wheat were burnt down by some malicious villains during the night.time. TRADE AT BARNSLET.—Trade is unusually depressed, and work exceedingly scarce. The advance on tbe prices of flax and yarn and the di ffi culty of obtaining a correspond ing advance in the staple articles of the town, are said to be the causes. We may, however, state generally that the population of this township hes increased from front forty-two to fifty-nine thousand, and that of Ealeshall from nine to fourteen thousand. If the increase in the other townships be in an equal ratio, the population of the parish will be little less than ninety-five thousand.

A meeting of the maltsters in Leeds was held last week, at which it was resolved, that in the opinion of the meeting unfair means had been used by different Superviors and Ex cise officers, in throwing out end returning couches, thereby subjecting the =later to a heavy penalty, where there was no intention to defraud the Revenue. A petition to the Commissioners of Excise,' stating the grieva nde , was agreed upon. which petition also prayed for protection. The newly erected Infirmary at Hudders fi eld was opened on Wednesday. It is an elegant stone edifice, 120 feet long. and the wings are 60 feet deep. The wards are capable of containing 54 beds; but, until the funds permit an exten sion, it is proposed to limit them to 20. The business of the dispensary has merged in the new institution. ISLE or klax.—The Isle of Man is increasing in im portance as a place of resort. It is said that a person might live there in an equally comfortable manner for 1001. a year as in England for 200 L Beef, 4d to 5d ; mutton, 4d ; veal, 4d to tid ; pork, 3d to 4d per lb. and lamb 4s to Ss per qr.

Fine port from 20e to 24s per dozen ; sherry, 21s to 265. Chem paigne, 60a to 70e ; claret, 48s to 565. Brandy sells at 10e; Holland' Bs. and rum at 8s per gallon. Land and house rents ate also considerably lower. The Hull Packet publishes a letter from the captain of a merchant vessel just arrived from Riga, and who is perform. ing quarantine in Whitebooth roads. He states that he never witnessed such scenes as at Riga. The deaths from cholera were so numerous, that " cans were waiting at the street awls to take the bodies away, and the time from their death to their burial never exceeded an hour, till at last they actually began to bury them before they were dead ! The Governor then gave 24 hours' time. The poor were buried by dozens, until the labourers began to riot, and it was re eessary to threaten to bring the field-pieces out and fire amongst them. Among the earliest cases many were taken with a blackness is the face, and died in an hour or two." The Commissioners of Customs have ordered several pilots on various parts of the coast to be prosecuted for breach of the quarantine laws.

Hate, TUESDAY, JUNE 28.—The corn trade continues in the same languid state as during the last few weeks, ind the business passing in all qualities exceeding limited. To day the supply of farmers' wheat is only moderate. Last week's prices arc generally demanded ; but where sales are made Is. per quarter decline has been submitted to. There are several cargoes of foreign wheat and oats ; which have been liberated from quarantine, and nearly wholly from the Baltic. WAIMELD, Juw 24.—There was a fair supply of wheat fresh up to this day's market; the attendance of buyers is very slender, and they purchase very sparingly of good fresh qualities at rather lower prices, and for other des. aiptions there is no demand. Oats are much the same in value, but the demand has been tri fl ing to-day. There is scarcely any thing doing in barley, and prices are nominal. In beans there is no variation.

THE LATh LORD ERSKINI.—When Lord Erskine appeared for the first time at the Bar, his aril*. tion was so great, that it was with difficulty he could re. cover himself, and was on the point of leaving the Hall. " At that moment," said his lordship, " I seemed to feel a, if all my children (for he had several) were dragging at my gown, and the idea supported my spirits to a degree I thought I was equal to —Of his eloquence as a lay pleader—of his wisdom and justice upon the bench—of his talents as a statesman—of his patriotism and Christian sir. tucs, as a man—who is thus that anis information, or will gainsay ?

VOLTAIRE.—This extraordinary man was not much indebted to Nature, as we all know, for that—the greatest of all her blessings—a good temper. la &moment of spleen, he is said to have passed a somewhat harsh judg. ment upon the genius of La Fontaine, insisting that not one of his fables, if honestly and calmly considered, would stand the test of criticism. This was a hard saying, and not very easy to maintain against the Prince of Fabulists. Never. theless, the gage was thrown down, and the pledge of de. fiance accepted by another very remarkable character—no less a personage than the great King of Prussia. The trial and roof of the assertion stood over to &distant period, ad re/ erendurn. N. t long afterwards, Voltaire, being in the closet of his Majesty, Frederick put into his hands a splen. did volume of Ls Fontaine's works. The Cynic turned over the leaver of the book, then read a fable, afterwards a sc. cold, and a third ; after shutting the volume abruptly— " Diable "cried he, " peel homage," The King and him. self, it should be remembered, were on the most familiat footing. • Then, after a pause, " Morbleau," exclaimed he, " the whole is a mass of ehefs.erceuvre."

CHOLERA Rioartus.—A Ramsgate correspondent of Gun says, that if it be true that this disorder is not contagious, but comes from the atmosphere, which its irregular and ca pricious course would seem to confirm, because u if carried according to the point the wind blows from. Would it not be advisable, without waiting for its appearance in any coun try or place, to direct masses of brimstone to be burned in towns and villages, and even on the high rosds,whenever the wind be not actually in the East ? Would not such a fume purify the atmosphere in the immediate circumference of those towns and villages ? and, by afterwards coming in contact with any infected air, would it not either counteract or destroy the effects of infec tion ? A widow lady, at Newington, who keeps a boarding school in that neighbourhood, stated in her popu lation schedule that she was " a widow, forty years of age, with four and twenty children, " evidently alluding to the two dozen scholars which she had under her roof. The party who called for her return paper, observed, on glancing his eye over it, that such a host of little ones was a great number for a lady of her age. The schoolmistress, equally labouring under a mistake, replied, " Aye, so it would be if I depended upon my own exertions ; but I have jour as. sistants—a drawing master, a teacher of the classics, a French master, and, a professor of gymnastics !" PURITAN ism.—Jeremy Taylor was sent to the Tower in 1657, for having in one of his works praised a portrait of Christ in the attitude of prayer—a spesics of re presentation considered little less than idolatry, and prohi- bited by statute.
