Neetostet NIEDAY.S.—The series of national medals now under execution, is an endertaking which we ex pect eriil eventually prove alike creditable to the arts of our country, and the splendour of her military fame. One of the last of tdese medals, struck off by the artist, represents'on the obverse side, a profile of Na poleon Buonnparte, in a plain General's uniform, and em the reverse, a representation of his Majesty's ship Bellerophon, with the Ex Emperor.on the gangway, where he usually made his appearance to gratify the earioeity of serettgers. The inscription on this side of fhe medal, records the data of Buonapartc's surrender to • Captain Maitland, of the Bellerophon, and Lis filleu fortune is emblirsativally described by the repro- statation of the Imperial Eagle, which once flouted upon his triumphant banners, from the Tiber to the Vistula, now chained to the flag staff of an English ship of war, where the light air of every breeze en wraps it in the silken folds of the British standard. What a humiliating contrast does not the representation on this medal present to that which the ealed Em peror bad executed in 1801, when, in the extravagance of his insatiable ambition, he contcuiplated the subjuga tion of Great Britain, and relying upon his genius and fortune, prepared by anticipation (as was his custom) the - record of his eepeeted achievement ! On that me vinrable.oreasinn, Napoleon added to his cabinet of nie dalse prepared under the direction of Mons. Denon, one, which delineated on the inverse of his profile a re presentation of Hercules in the act of strangling a leo pard between his legs, with the motto, " l'aa. xii. a.OOO barques soot eonstruites." The leopard was intended to represent Great Britain (fer Napoleon was, of course, of opinion, that the line did not belong to the armorial bearings of England). and the llercuiies was, no doubt, the godlike representative of the prowess of - France. There• is something generous hi the view which man kind takes in favour of the eutbrtenate ; where his fate i; hard, a great Legislator, has well observed—" that we only see the scourge, and not the crime." Ia this slew, we think the collection of national medals pre paring in this country will not only perpetuate the record of our fame, and the just pretensions of car artists in a neglected branch of their profession, but will also ex hibit the liberality of our feelings towards a fallen ene pea by abstaining from following his example, when it is our turn to represent a vanquished foe. We rejoice to tin'}, that a letter from different }arts of France, annotmee a fall iu the price of provisions. 'the beneficial effect, of this, it is to be hexed, will be soon felt in this country. Saturday, at two o'clock, the thermometer was at 1 1 1 in the sun, and. 8 , 2 in the shade ; and the general theiing is, that such extreme h e at has net prevailed in the metropolis since the Comet et IR I I .

Tuesday night a large cannon, which was taken at the Battle of Waterloo. was placed on some flag-stones secitred in the ;;ravel on the Parade in St. James's Park, and was pabliely exibited on Wednesday for the first time, it being the anniversary of the victory of Water loo. It appeers to be placed in a very awkward and inconvenient apot in the general tleeroeghlare from the horse Guards to Westminster. MI:LANCIIOLY 'Accts NT.—On Friday morning last, during a most tremendous gale, the Cossack, a boat 24 feet long, stationed near Sidmouth, to prevent smuggling, was obeesveti about a mile from the :lore to be in imminent danger, shipping a great quantity of water, &c. The crew were seen immediately to lower the sails, nod in about five minutes the boat went down head-flit-most, and dreadful to relate, every soul on board perished. About twenty minutes afterwards a man was seen floating towards the shore supporting himself on two oars ; but when within about one hun dred yards was washed off, and never seen to rise again. At two o'clock the boat came on shore, keel uppermost, opposite the billiard-rooms, containing several large pistols and cutlasses, a small cask of ruin, some biscuit, a very handsome case sewed up is a green bag, contain ing several packs of ca►ds, sets of mother of pearl coun ters, and a very elegant fillagree silver purse, with three sixpences in it ; sails, clothes, &c. &c. The sea ran so high that it was impossible for any one on shore to , render the least assistance. Chapman Fruits, the Oxfordshire bargeman, cele brated as a diver, died on Thursday, aged 90.

Dowling was brought before the Sitting Magistrate, to answer a charge made 'ag*inst him by Mr. P. Finnerty, for a violent assault.
