(Concluded awl abridged from the Literary Examiner.) At thilland House, still in becoming hands, lived, loved,; and died Addison : none of them very happily, though pinch is.saiiiisbout the death.— An Mae Iteryier round betw. en Bayswater and Oxford street lies " poor 1 orick." Paddington, " base, common, and popular" as it may •pow seem, is a very old village, that once had an abbey pith a flourishing abbot, famous for its pomp and hospita lity. One side of the road still belongs to the church. I have had many reasons for loving it, man and boy : —but lure begins the ground of my affections, continuing thro' mead and green lane till it reaches beyond Hampstead. lu the church-yard, by the green, with the tine trees on it, lie two of the most irritable spirits that ever disseminated libe ral opinium—Curran and Dr. Geddes. The tomb-of Geddes has an epitaph upon it worth a Christian's going to see.— In front of one of the flows between Paddington and Oxford-street, is an almond•tree ; not " on top of green Pelinis," but " all alone" nevertheless, and in its due season With blosomr brave bedecked daintily.— ' I know not which is the pleasanter way to Hampstead, the opc up Kilburn Inane through West End, or the one over the hesutiful meadows that ascend to the church.— epon the whole, h uneven, I ant for the latter, and you ge nerally go that way; so here is a rack oteettin to read arum —as you take your journey ; for that you must read it in the fields, and in those identical fields is certain. If you are obliged to read it aloud, I shall not goarrel; nor even if you are all happy in hearing it ; since I shall only gnash my teeth with impatience, when I rec e i ve th e news , w hi c h . • is who.. I sin inclined to do every week, when I think of every fiend I have—so it dues not mite!: signify. Out of forty thousand impatiences. comes patience. I ant " used to it," like the eels. 11. shall writs me an aecount of it, and put use at my worst ; when I shall of course grow better. Kilburn (the Kele or Cold Bourne.) bad its nunnery, as Paddington hail its monas•ery. The ground between must have been nice. The nunnery is said to have stood on that pretty green slope on the light hand; as you enter the vil lage front London. The b 'erne runs et the foot of it, and forms afterwards the sheet of water facetiously called the Serpentine Ricer. Out of the left side of Kilbtirit, runs a lane t 3 a 'Ade rustic hamlet called Wilsdon, one of the nutty secluded spots about London, and celebrated in the Literary Pocket Book, with a due and united gusto of ale honor autl pasteral. 'Die lane leading on the right hand up to Ilampatead winds plea,atitly through thick hedges amt . fertile lields, and opens at West Bit 1 upon a beautiful view of Ha•np stead and the church. Front the retirement of West End, Fat• once pitched me inters very dilforent sort of seclusion in Ilor.einotiger.latie (think of the name!) as if I had been no better than a quoit. It was a quoit, however, that had shattered some very hyacinthine lock.. We have now clamed Hampstead, dos region of all sub• urban ruralitie-, of paths leading upward and downwar I, of groves, of prospects, of tut•adows and wend, of remote 13oking lanes, of a remnant of will nature, of elavtical re collections. When I returned from the very different lane just mentioned, I hastened to re-occupy a bench that steod in at delightful slope, and overlooked West Rod. I found' it pushed away by the fantastic house that now stands there mystifying' the fi , lote, and mocking antiquity. C. L. could not have been more startled when he saw the chimney sweeper reclining in Richmond meadow.. 1134 the chum ney-stverper found the wonderful lamp, lie might have raised ju,t such a structure With twenty snunlers of good taste ts:ion it, Tu push us lions our Near this alarming fact (not the tenement nest to it,bnl the first one on the right hand as you look op the lane) is a white hoase, in whirb Dr. Johnson took lodgings fur his wins, crossing the fields to come to her of an evening. The road leads strait on from here to the heath. Let rue lesse the church on my right, with my usual reverence amt si lence. Every spot from this plane is sacred to we fur some recollection. Good God ! how clearly I see every thing!— how vividly every confer turns upon with Its trees, its gateways, or its mounds ! On the right, in the first floor of a college, lived the last of the alulso's,—at least so fumy her, fur she was a maiden lady, and tragist to have been the last if she was ntr. (Nut that I have any objection to the 31olso's, but Richardson and a continuation of the species somehow do not agree; though Pamela thought otherwise. At North End, tinder the wing of his friend Dyson, lived Akenside. He calls the slope leading into the Hendon Road, Holder's Bill, tend altogether made as much of his suburb, as the greatest cockney of us all. Milton could nut have said more for his '• noble suburban spot," or for the boarding-shuool girls whom he used to deify.— ..

He was then, 1aw..., ever, weak ant sick,—sick too in the lungs ; though so fund was he of the place, that even the north wind did not come amiss to hint.

There is a beautiful cottage and farm in it (only thecottage is ton near the lodge) that behinged Co Lord Southampton. The path over the fields to Hi ghgate, or back again to the Vale of Ilealtia or the Heath is quite lovely. Who knows it better than your splf ? But you like me to repeat it. It WAS from a house on She eastern part of the heath, that Keats took his departure to Italy. Melancholy as it was, and the more so from his attempt to render it calm and cheerful, it was not the most melancholy circumstance tinder which I saw him there.—l could not hinder him one day from goinz to visit the house, in which, though he was himself ill and weak, he attended with such exemplary -affection his younger brother that died. Dead almost almost himself Iv that time, the circuar stance shook him beyond what he expected. The house was in Well Walk. ton know the grove elms there. It was in tbat grove, on the beach next the heath, that he soil denly turned upon me; his eyes, swimming with tears, and told me he was " dying of a broken heart." lie must have been wonderfelly excited, to make such a confession ; for his spirit was lofty to a degree of pride. Some private cir cumstances pressed on hint at the time; and td these be added the melancholy consciousness, that his feeble state of health made him sensible of some nubile annoyances. which no 11130 would sooner otherwise have desaised. His heart was afterwards soothed where he wished it to he ; and when he took his departure for Italy, lie had hope, or lie would hardly have gone. Even I bid hope. My weaker fits are obligZ-d to break off lie lies under the walls of Row, nut far from the remains of oar, who so soo:i and so abruptly joined him. Finer hearts, or more astonishing faculties, never were broken tip, than in those two. To praise any man's heart by the side of Shelby's , is :thaw an extraordinary pariegyric. You know what I must think of Hampstea d, when the memories of two such men come in Ad of all that endeared me to it before. Its beauty an I its classical associations are enongli to render it interesting to every body; but love and friendship of all sor's have also lialhowe'l it to me. It pleases the to think, that kindred hearts with these have delighted in the place before. A little after yoo enter the town from London is a mansion which beloeged to Sir Henry Vane, — the most exulted and extraordinary intellect, except Mil:on, of an age of great men ; en i one perhaps who saw s:iil farther than alikon into the capabilities of society, in spite of the puritanical cloud in which lie wrapt up his Platon ism. Here also Day, the manly-spirited anchor of Sand- ford Merton, brought his new-married wife, who talked and walked with him to his heart's contra; and in the long room in Well Walk, now the chapel, but then the pump room for the mineral waters, used to be seen one of the must amiable of men of wit, Arbuthnot, who came there to get the health which he distributed t o tho usan d s . I was going to say the most amiable of physicians, but I recollected Garth. Garth was often at Hampstead, if he never lived there, for he used to come to join the Kit-Hat Club st their stormier dinners. He li s belled at Harrow, purely t., oblige one's prospect. Yon know where the club met: At the last !tsetse on the hill, before you turn down into the Vale of Health. It is now a private residence ;—a loo: low house I r re, b e f ore it, v e ry respectable. I write thii for your fellow readers. That house has a series of histories be longing to it. In the first place, it was the scene of the summer 'meetings of the Kit-Kat CIA) aforesaid, consisting of Steele, Addison, Congreve, Garth, Vanbrugh, and other wits and great Whigs. When Steele was hiding from his duns in a cottage on Haverstock Hill (which is still extant) they used to call for him by the way, and take him up.— After this, Richardson made it the seeite of one of Cl trissa's flights: on which account a Frenchman is said to have made a pilgrimage on purpose to see it. It was hitherto an inn, known by the name of the Upper Flask. Being after wards converted into a private dwelling house, it became the residence of George Steevens, the commentator on Shakespeare, who used to walk to London every morning at day bteak to correct the press. P. S.—Aram; other sohurhan dwellers about London, I hare omitted to mention in the course of this article, that Sir Thomas More lived at Chelsea; that Thomas Moo r e hammed a short time at Hornsey ; and that Coleridge resides at Highgate, a " stroller with a book." 000DTITLE ON THE DEMISE or .lUtiN eiIIARLES PARKER v. listexLitrr.—'f he Right Worshipful the Mayor of this city, hes received an acerediled document from bicotisnd, which we have seen, certifying that John Charles Parker the supposed son of Richar I Parker, the person who suf freed at the Sore, is the son of Donald Ctiming, by the sister of Mrs. Parker, the widow of the late Richard Par ker, both of whom were examined at the trial; and that his claim to the estate in Shokroalt as heir at law to the said Richard Parker, for which lie, at the last Devon Assiz-s, obtained the verdict of a British Jury, has been established by fraud. tae leave to refer our read ers to a report of this extraordinary cote in our Paper of the Slit ult., auil we feel ourselves called upon to reins...l:, in justice to our resp:Tteii townswoman, Sirs.

Harvest is begun generally in almost every district of tla. caunry, but the continued wet weather grievously interfere* in its progress; and unless we ha:-e shortly a cessation,. will inevitably prove injurious to the quality of the grain. We hear that there is, In miny parte, a considerable quan tity of grass mown, now abroad, and much reuttiding to mow, and which Las been so mach damaged by the disas trous season, as to be scarcely worth the trouble and ex• pense of varying to the rick yard.—(Worecater We understand from a friend who has lately visited va• eons parts of England, that talc them in general, the corn crops of all kinds were never finer, or more heavy, and that should the present fine weather rontinue, grain, especially, wheat, will be bolls plentiful and cheap.—(Jiuritiv He rald.)
