Twelve years ago the average number of cattle sold weekly in the market, for the consumption of the town was from 150 to 203 head of horned cattle, and 2.000 head of sheep and other cattle, being annually about 104,400 head. At present the average weekly number amounts to 585 head of homed cattle, and 6,641 sheep and other cattle, being annually about 333,752 head, and an increase of 220,362 head annually.

THE LADIES OF LLANQOLLEN. A triangular monument in Phis Newydd church-yard is now filled up with memorials of two friends who retired from the world to enjoy the exclusive society of each other, in the mountains of North Wales. The epitaphs on the departed were respectively written by the survivor ; when the last, who now remains, shall herself pay the debt of nature, we trust some competent hand will fill up the remaining tablet with an inscription, which will do equal justice to her memory. " The next day we reached Llangollen in time for a late dinner. Whilst this was preparing, I addressed a line to ' the Lady of Llangollen,' the now solitary inhabitant of that elegant and classic abode, Plas Newydd, which has attained so m'ich celebrity from the taste and talent which have been there displayed by those to whose hands it owes its creation; but still more so as being the spot made sacred, because de dicated for so many years to a friendship almost without a parallel. I had often witnessed, with admiration, these highly-gifted and congenial friends in the enjoyment of each other's society, partaking of a happiness almost super-terres trial., A was now to bear testimony 'to the melancholy change which time, the destroyer tit alt earthly ties, had wrought. One of those friends who had lived but for each other, with the humble but faithful and highly-cherished companion of their solitude, was in the cold grave ; whilst the remaining friend, more to be pitied, was left to mourn their irreparable loss. I hastened, however, to avail myself of the privilege granted me, of paying my personal respects to the survivor, Miss Ponsonby. As I expected, I found her muck Altered. Grief and deep sorrow were apparent in every feature of her face, where they had pencilled their lines in a way not to be mistaken. After the first few mi nutes had passed, which, no doubt, must have conjured up a thousand recollections of happy hours gone by, never to re turn, her spirits became better—at least, all was calm upon the surface—to use the words of one of the first poets of the day, the bard of her own country, EXTRAORDINARY BAROAINS IN TABLE CUTLERY AND SILVKK-HANDLED KNIVES.

RANDOM ANTICIPATIONS OF A MAN OF GENIUS. About two years ago Mr. Buckingham commenced publishing the ' Argus' newspaper, which existed but one month. It was the inten. Lion of Mr. Buckingham to distribute fifty thousand copies of first number gratis, both as an advertisement, and as a specimen of the cr coming work ; but the commissioners of stain , who, the ' Spectator' says, have more eyes than even Argus, step in to prevent the ac complishment of the design, by declaring t t though Mr. Bucking. ham might give away five hundred thousand newspapers, if he liked, the Treasury must have fourpence a piece for them. in this dilemma the Editor had recourse to the expedient of a mock specimen number, anticipating the march of time by an undefined number of years, and i describing many things as having actually occurred, which some had talked of, some had dreamed of, and some had wished, and and many things that had certainly never been talked of, dreamed of, or wished. The specimen " Argus' was full of anachronisms; and in making up its various parts, coherence and consistency seem to have hear very little thought of : still many of the gucres then made at random havereeeived, in the brief period that has since elapsed, a very remarkable fulfilment. Bo it remembered, the specimen * Argus' appeared about the beginning of July, 1828. The following are among the notices : " Lord Brougham, the Lord Binh Chancellor, has conferred the li ving of Middlc.coat on the Rev. Sidney Smith." * 1 The Right Honourable Francis Jeffrey, Lord Advocate, has already, we hear, secured his election for the county." [Of Edinburgh.] Some of the guesses are even more remarkable— *, It is proposed, we understand, soon after the rising of parliament, to give a dinner in the assembly rooms [Edinburgh,] in commemora tion of the late abolition in this city of the close system." Edinburgh Journal. This is still future, of course—parliament is not yet risen. Shall we fix the sth of July next, the anniversary of another great Scotch victor), the battle of Bannockburn ? _ . . _ " Since the elective franchise was transferred from the ancient (and therefore rotten) borough of Ripon to the flourishing town of Leeds• the manufactures of that place have taken aZresh speing.".—Leede Mt renry.

FRANCE.-At noon a salute announced the arrival of the Presi. dent of the Republic, the venerable Lafa) cue, attended by General Gerard, Minister of iVar ; M. C. Dupin, Minister of the Interior ; M. Laßue, of the Finance." There is not very much wrong in this last extract ; perhaps, however, the most extraordinary of the whole is the following "It is confidently hoped, that the united efforts of, dreier:were [Great Britain, France, and Austria) to put an end to the:five.years' war, will be finaUy successful, and will end by the acknowledgment by the Emperor 'Nicholas of the independence of the crown of Warsaw I" LETTER FROM M. POTTER TO THR EDITORS OF L'EMANCIPATION (NEWSPAPER.) " BRUSSELS, JAN. O. Gentlemen.—l request you will have the kindness to invert the following observations in your journal. " I read in an article from a London Paper, and copied into Le Beige : " The party in Belgium which has declared itself in fa vour of a re-union with France is numerous and influential. It is composed of the inhabitants of almost all the tnanufac luring towns, of the towns of the frontiers, and of the Wal l* provinces in general, without counting an immense , number of pnblic agitators, such as M. Potter. ' " I shall leave to my fellow-citizens the task of defending me from the accusation of being a public disturber. " The only answer I wish to give relates to the assertion of my being a partisan of the re-union with France, and 1 protest formally against that accusation, which I hold in the light of a grievous insult. " Since the commencement of our revolution, and especi ally since my return to this country, I have fin tined but one wish—had in view but one object—namely, the establish ment of a republic. That was, in my opinion, the only mode of consolidating our independence, insuring our liberties, ' As a beam o'er the fast of the waters may glow, While the tide runs In darkness and coldness below ! So the cheek may be tinged pith a warm sunny smile, Though the 'mid heart to ruin runs darkly the wane.' The last tribute of friendship, written by Miss Ponsonby to commemorate the virtues of her lamented friend, Lady Eleanor Butler, had been engraved only a few days before on one of the three tablets of the monument, which is pyramidal, and which was raised some years ago by Lady E. Butler and Miss Ponsonby, in Llangollen church-yard,l and intended for themselves and a faithful female servant who died at that time, whose fidelity is recorded on one of these tablets. The third side, which is intended for her who has borne testimony in such heart-felt and truly elegant terms of her own sorrow and regret, it is to be hoped will be long unoccupied. The following words are alluded to. Sacred to the Memory of the Right Honoutable LADY ELEANOR CHARLOTTE Bu?Ls', Late of Plas Newydd, in this Parish, Deceased 2d June, 1829, Aged Ninety Years, Daughter of the Sixteenth Sister of the Seventeenth Eerl of Ormonde and (henry, Aunt of the late and Sister to the present Marquis of ormonde. Endeared to her friends by an almost unequalled excelkviee of heart, and by manners worthy of her illustrious birth; the admiration and delight of a very numerous acquaintance.

Sorrow not a/others that have no hope-1 Then. v. 13. As the death of Eleanor had been a severe privation of comfort to many around her, who were clothed and fed by her bounty, the worthy clergyman of Llangollen church had thought it but proper to allude to it in his sermon, and. simply state the loss which the parish had sustained in the decease of one, from whose unbounded charities it had derived so much benefit. But because Lady Eleanor had lived and died a sincere Catholic, this was deemed an unpardonable offence by some of the congregation ; and on the Monday following the clergyman received, by the post, an anonymous letter, in a female hand, in which he was charged with " such an abandonment of his duty as a parish minister as rendered hhn wholly unworthy of the e Are he filled !" For half a century, Lady Eleanor and Miss Pnasonby had lived together in amity and affectionate good will, though they each worshipped GOD according to their respective views of his Holy Scripture, one as a Ca tholic and the other as a Protestant— equally sincere, pious, and zealous, but also equally humble, benevolent, and charitable in their respective creeds. however, the city presented an appear unison with its desolate condition. A arrayed in most fanciful costume, all directions. Besides the Grand Vizier, his troops, and suite, lanina contained all the neigh bouring Pachas and Beys, rho had repaired to the capital to welcome his Highness. The corteges of the militity chieftains were exceedingly splendid. No Pacha paid a visit to the Grand Vizier, or to the camp, without being pre ceded by a troop of horse, and followed by a large band 44 bis friends and retainers in splendid costume, and apparently riding in the most picturesque confusion, though this con fusionhas its seder. The Vickie -hod entered AMC' at tb • head of five-and twenty thousand men, all picked troops and among these, eight thousand regular infantry. A camp of five thousand was at present formed without the gates. The other troops were scattered over the province. His Highness received our travellers in the fortress palace of Ali Pacbe, which though greatly battered by successive sieges, is still inhabitable, and yet affords a very fair idea of its old magnificence. Having passed the gates of the fortress, they found themselves in a number of small streets, like those in the liberties of an old castle, all full of life, stir ring and excited. They then came to a square, in which on an assent, stands the palace. They hurried through courts and corridors full of guards and pages, and attendant chiefs, and, in fact, every species of Turkish population ; for in these countries one head does every thing; and we, with our subdivisions of labour, and intelligent and re sponsible deputies, have ne idea of the labour of a Turk ish premier. At length they came to a vast, irregular apart ment, serving as the anti-chamber of the Hall of Audience. The scene here presented is mentioned as one of the finest of the kind ever perhaps witnessed. Every thing was 50 strange and splendid, that for a moment one for got this was an extraordinary scene even for the East, and gave up the fancy to a fall credulity in the now almost ob solete magnificence of Oriental life. In this vast hall, full of the choicest groups of an eastern population, each indi vidual waiting by appointment for an audience, and pro bably to wait for ever, they remained about ten minutes ; too short a time—for circumstances may make it agreenb!e even to kick one's heels in a minister's antichainber. Hence they were summoned to the awful presence of the pillar of the Turkish empire, the man who has the reputation of being the main spring of the new system of regeneration, the re nowned Redachid, an approved warrior, a consummate poli tician, unrivalled as a dissembler even in Turkey. The ball of audience is vast, built by Ali Pacha, purpasely to receive the largest Gobelin t that was ever made, which belonged to the chief c in Versas, and for which he gave 5001. sterling, in t evolutiod.• The walla and pillars are entirely covered with gilding and arabesques. Here, squatted down in a corner of the large divan, they found a little, ferocioas-kroking, shrivelled, care-worn man, plainly dressed, with a brow covered with wrinkles, arid a countenance clouded with anxiety and thought : at some distance, in a group on his left hand, were his secretary and his immediate attendants : the end of the hall was lined by " tchiaous," or lacqueys in waiting. Some complialents passed, and pipes and coffee were then brought by these lac queys ; then his highness waved his hand, and in an instant the chamber was cleared. " Let the chamber be cleared ; The train disappeared,— Now call me the chief of the harem guard." The conversation, though exceedingly courteous, was very vague ; his Highness evinced none of that curiosity now common among the Turks of the higher order. It is rare to pay a visit to a Pacha without being severely cross examined on the course of your travelling, and other subjects, which it is not very easy to answer. Pistols are an universal topic of conversation, though yielding perhaps now the first place to uniforms. Mehemet Aga, the Selictar of Mehemet ?ache of Lepanto, showed with just pride to our traveller a new cavalry uniform which be had received from Leghorn, and which really was brode enough for the tenth. Many of the Turks talk very freely about Peter the Great; and a book of cavalry movements or some similar MS. is seldom unturned In the course of the day. Mr. Clay and his friends att2nded a review of the regular infantry, who went through the evolution with great readiness. The men are mostly yoking, and were represented by their officers as being exceedingly zealous in their duty. Their arms were good, but their oth r equipments only useful. The uniform of the colonels, how ever, is very splendid—scarlet richly laced with gold, with the star and crescent set in diamonds on the breast. After the usual time they took their leave for the moment of his Highness, and proceeded to pay a visit to his son Amir, Pacha of lanina, a youth of eighteen, but who looks 10 years older. He is the very reverse of his father—inca pable in affairs, refined in his manners, plunged in debau chery, and magnificent in dress. The Grand Vizier has, however, a younger son, Ibrahim, who is said to inherit all the talents of the father. This is the usual story when the eldest son of an eminent man is not very brilliant; bat cer tainly the repartees which are circulaten of Ibrahim Bey, if, unlike all other repartees, they belong to their pretended ntte:er, bespeak a very vivacious intellect. Mr. Clay and his friends remained a week at head qt &nets, and received visits from all the principal personages. Each. evening singers or dancers were sent to them by the different Pachas or officers of the Grand Vizier's household. His High ness sent the most celebrated singer to execute a romance, now very popular in Janina, on the death of Veli Bey. The' triumphant accuracy with hich his fate is recorded, proves how insensible all parties are to the disgrace which we should feel to attach to an act of treachery. Turkish sing ing is described as a series of screeches, without the intona tion of a note. Their music is as bad, and possesses neither harmony nor melody. The country is described as tolera bly tranquil ; and the atrocious scenes of rapine, which for so long a period have desolated Albania, have entirely ceased. Messrs. Ross and Urquhart, who landed at Bucin , tro, in August, have not been heard of, and hope of their existence seems now faint. It is supposed that they were murdered by some of the scared rebel troops who lied from Bitoglia. The Albanians, when in retreat, murder every one they meet on horseback, for the purpose of getting their steed. Mr. Clay and his friends landed at Salons, and pro ceeded by Arta to the capital.
