The salaries paid to all the agents of Government, remain nearly the same as they were during she period v. Len provisions were at the bighost price. They are therefore considerably increased in value, and enable them to demand much more of the labour of the people to furnish out their state. Governing is found to be p more profitable trade in peace than in war, for a certain glass of politicians; and hence the p teilit• dispositiom which proclaims neutrality the grand principle of all true policy. We really believe that if a French Fleet were to sail ; top the Thames, and burn London as far as Black friars' Bridge, that the Ministry, safely entrenched in fcaning Street, would declare that the true policy of fat Britsin was neutrality, and leave the new Lord a yor, and the s citizens to defend themselves as well as the 7 Ce" l.l .

An Relive canvass has hei -7 77 — ir some days going forward for a place ender the Corporation, which is ;lei t her vacant, nor, we are glad to say, not likely to become vacant t and a ludicrous scene took place. the other day, at the Mansion house, between the Lord Mayor anti a few of the c a ndidates. Mr. Howell, the Water Bailiff, having been, for anion time, confined bv illness, to his imam, the utmost anxiety was expressed by some of his most partierlar friends,allout the state of his health. Hewes even advised by them to expose hiusselfno more to the performance of his rigosons winter duties, but to abandon the situation altogether. By accident, the shutters of the parlour windows were closed one morning, in that fashion which indicates that the king of terrors is within. Two of the warmest Mende of poor Howell, seeing, one after another, that the " flag" was raised, ran away in grief to inform the Lord Mayor that the time was at last arrived when his Lordship would ,114•11 an opportunity of proving his friendship ; that the IVater Bailiff had departed this life, awl that his Lordship's intim. ence would secure the place to any person who should offer himself as a candidate. Those g entlemen enumerated their claims in the most impressive manner. They even circu lated a printed form among the members of the Court of Common Council, soliciting their votes and interests for the disposal of the place made vacant by the lamented death of Mr. Howell, and it appeared that their printed letters had actnatly been in their own possession betone they supposed he hisi drawn his last breath. The Lord Mayor, who did not relish those rapid applications, told the candidates that lie would inquire into the truth of the report, for lie hall heard that the Water Bailiff was recovering. " Yon may depend upon it," said one of the place-limiters, " that hers dead, and those who say otherwise are interested in suppressing the troth, in order to prevent me from pursu ing my canvass."—The Lord Mayor immediately sent to the Too n Clerk's office to ascertain the facts, and was in- formed. that Jlr. Hoeell aasounClllntprored in his health, and expected to be able to attend a Committee then abort to sit. But the rendidates had fixed their hopes so strong ly on the place, thar the authority of the Lord Mayor and of Alderman Wood was not credited by them, and they were at last only convinced by the sight of the• Water Bailiff signing his accounts. In alluding to this, the Lord ' Mayor yesterday said, lee never heard of so shameful a ' practice, and he should take care to keep by I • he print ed applications of those very delicate gentlemen, th.t hr might refuse his vote to every one of them on any future occasion. w.emeeetweweeeee Pointe NUTSAnces.—The Pariah of St. Dunstan in the West have recently rooted the frail sisterhood, by placing a watchmen wits. candle and lantern at the door of each suspected hoqse, bearing a large placard with the inserip tion--'4 Beware of had houses," ringing a hell 'at the entrance of welt suspected visitor, !ill at:rowel was convened to witness the departure; this had the desired effect.—To get rid of another nuisance in this parish, against a conspi• coons part of the church yesterday was painted in large characters—" Public decency forbids;" this was not so 'successful, as decorum was not only again violated, hut some wag had the audacity to chalk under it—" Private necessity compels." Feoat a CoRREspoN DENT AT STRATHELANc—Ahout six o'clock on Friday morning, the 26th September, the body of a young woman was found at the bottom of a crag in the parish of Stratlehlane. The crag is about :35 fret high. On examination it was found that the integmisenea of the head werb eat in several places, the skull was much frac tdred, and one of the cervical vertebrte was broken or dis• idtated. She left her master's house early on Thursday night, About eight o'clock she called upon the plougl;- Petah; when she merely opened the door, asked what lee was doing, and what o'clock it was, and upon being talel that it ikas about eight, she went away, saying that she most go Mime, fur she would he expected to milk thee cows. She appeared to be in good spirits, but did not go home, nor wee she In leer lodgings any part of that night. When she was found she was quite warm, and perhaps met with her death only about an hour and a half before. If she fell over the rock accidentally, it is very strange, for it was a beautiful muonlight morning ; she had no itlticr inept to go there, and She knew the place all ammo!' uncommonly well, and vont,' not wander. If she threw herself over it is very strange, for there is nothing in heel history which couitl lead any one to think that she eventid. l annuli' suicide. If she intended this, it is not prob that she would have taken her umbrella with leer in order to protect that body from the rain which she wis so soon to destroy ; and it is presumed that the small basket which I was found in her band would nut have been of any service in accomplishing her purpose. As it was very heavy rain during part of the night, and as the body was almost dry when it was found, it is evident that she was in company with some person, and under a roof. Nor can we suppose that a young woman would leave tlee place of leer abode to ramble the whole night alone on the roads and iu the plantations of a country place. We are happy to kern that t h e Justices of the Peace here, and others, are doing all they can to find out the perpetrator of the horrid deed.--(Seotch paper.) SUICIDE AT 13ATHOATE.— In the afternoon of Sunday last, immediately upon the close of divine worship, and while the people were retiring to their homes, the village of Batiegate was thrown into a state of consternation, by , the alarm being spread that a man of the name of Brock, (Sometime put, a period to his existence by an act of suicide. previous to the perpetration of the unhallowed deed, Bruck hid become subject to fits of ntental dejection, and betaking himself to a life of seclusion, had devoted almost the whole of his time to books.

Brock reoognised the accustomed tap, and himself unbarred the door to admit the girl ; but she, horror-struck at the sight of blood, that streamed from an incision in his neck, ran straightway to the street to call assistance. Meanwhile, the wretched man had fled to the darkest recess of his miserable habitation, and, before the people could arrive, either to repair the mischief clone, or to prevent farther harm, both their kind interference, and the no less promptly proilered aid of thee expert surgical practitioners, who were instantly on the spot, had become unavailing. Brock had breathed leis last. having inflicted upon his neck a wound, the character and extent of which evinced a determination of purpose astonishingly strong : for, it appeared, that not until it had encountered the anterior sue face of the cervical vertebra., had the keen instrument of death brooked thee smallest in terruption iq its horrid pragress.—(Scokh paper.) et.l EVEN r. —On Saturday, an inquest wes bill in Li Wield, before S.

The morning was fa. y and the turnips so wet the birds would not 1,17 among them. This was much against Mr. Coke's shooting, and i n th e first two hours he bagged only slit Mace of birds. The day cleared up soon after eight o'clock, and Mr. Coke then made ample amends for his pr.vlous lust time. He sported over the Fr,J • mere and a part of the Wighton Manors, and found bird. plen tiful among Mr. Denny's fine crops of turnips on the Egnwee Farm. In one twenty acre piece of Sweish turnips, upon that farm, he bagged upwards of 30 brace of birds. Mr. colts finished his day's sport soon after six ii'd a': in the evening. He had tri en bagged SS brace of partf.d.t‘s and b pheasan a ; Ibut there being a dispute between the umpires about one bir', Col.
