Forbes, FINE ARTS• The Tiews on Me Rhine are rich in materials for the faithful pencil of Captain Batty, and he continues to deli neate them in the same delicate and spirited style of execu tion which has gained him such decided reputation among the lovers of art. The views of UTONCIET and of the Ouse-Kcal, or old church, at Detre, its the number just published, are given with admirable effect. It is curious to remark that the term kirk is always used in Scotland when speaking of a place appropriated to public worship. A variety of different etymons have been given of this word, but none of them satisfactory. The view of Heidelburg is engraved by Wallis in a style that will bear comparison with the most finished produc tion on the same scale. The sky is exquisitely managed. The view of DRACHENFSLI and Rot...ivy's Ece is by the same hand, and bears the same stamp of genius. If in the latter picture the mountains were less in shadow, consider ing the side on which the light -falls on the scene, the general effect would, perhaps, be improved; , but there is so much beauty in the execution, and it is worked up with such warm and genuine feeling, that it is perhaps fastidious to wish any part of it otherwise than as it is. In mentioning the name of Wallis, we must not be under rood to underrate the other artists engaged in these views. The talents of Varrall, Higham, and Finden, have already elevated them sufficiently high to make all particular praise of them superfluous. LITERARY GLEANINGS. --.......-- No. XIAI. BULLS AND BLUNDERS. CLIRIC•L BELLS.--111 an old book of SNII4OIII, by en obscure divine, of the name of Micson, we are reminded that "it is one among many proofs of the wisdom and be nevolence of Providence, that the world was not created in the midst of winter, when Adam and Eve could have found nothing to cat ; but in harvest-time , wbea there was knit on every tree, and shrub to tempt the willing hand." Another clerical commentator, of the same stamp, praises= Divine Goodness for always making Me largest rivers flaw close by the most populous towns, forgetting that the towns came to the rivers, not the riven to the towns. BIOOR•PHIC•L BLutinzas.---Wiesclus, by no means a contemptible writer, was deceived into a belief, that ?Lo rene)" wrote the Life and Actions of CHARLIE rtes Flirter ; because, in some Latin editions of Pcuraace'S Lives, a life o that monarch Fags been annexed.

The AN* historian tells us, that "probably, the &ink short-writing, at present extant or known, is a L manuscript, entitled ' Ars Scribendi Cbaracteres, of *e Art of Writing in Characters.' The author (be adds), is not known ; but it was printed about din /ear 1 4197 st is, before printiag_was invented. Moult, the celebrated author of the Ilistorical Dic tionary, is guilty of a blunder nearly as bad. He speaks of en author, called Dorus Basilicus, alluding to the ' Do ron Basilikon," a book written by James the First for the use of his son. BEET-.ZATeR is a corruption from B4clier, one who waits at the side-board ; this ought to have been obvious to a Frenchman; it is curious, however, that Boyce, in his French DICTIONARY , translates Beef -eater, Mangeur de kat. and subjoin., by way of remark, that this is a nick- IBM given to the King a Guards in England, because Ahem duty they are fed upon berf,that otherwise their true name is Yeomen of the Guard. " (7(41 un sobriquet," says he, " peen donne owe Gerdes du Roy d'Axocereitaa, qui soot a pe upr6s comme lee cent Suisses en France, Farce lee r Ordinaire lies! yue du Baty, lots gulls Boni de .

An Irish Baronet, walking i out with a gentleman who told me the story, was met by' his mine, who requested charity. The Baronet exclaimed vehemently, " I willgive you nothing. You played mea scandalous trick in my infancy." The old woman, in amazement, asked him what injury she had done him ? He answered, " I was a fine boy, and you changed me." In this boll even personal identity is confounded ! Miss Eon EWOILTII, in her 6 ' Essay on Irish Bulls," gives this a place as among the moat perfect on record. But this celebrated Bull neither belonged to an Irish Ba ronet, nor to any other Irishman. It is not a native of the Emerald Isle, bat is a Spanish Bull, stolen front the renowned SANCHO PANZA.-.- Pray, tell rne, squire, (says the Duchess), is not your master the person whose history is printed, under the name of the page Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha ?"

Sta,—Although the miens of macadamization has been of late so much carried en in the metropolis, there are some of the most public thoroughfares rendered literally impassable, owing to the accumulation of filth and dirt caused by the late rains. The nuisance in Bridge-street, Blaeltfriars, is so great, that it is impossible to pus from Ise side to the other, as there is no swept place : the con sequence is, persons are obliged (much to their inconve nience) to go down the street as far as Fleet-street, where it used to be swept by a black man, who attended there for several years. Now, Sir, I take the liberty of suggesting, through the medium of your valuable Paper, that some of the paupers from the workhouse should he sent to sweep the streets, instead of suffering them to remain in the state they now are, which is really Alegraceful, not only to Mr. M'Adam, but to the parish itself.

After an ordinary passage, she anchored one evening near the mouth of the river St. Lawrence, in about 23 fathoms water. Here they laid awaiting a favourable tide, until near midnight. The night was excessively dark, and all hands, except the watch, went quietly to repose, in their births below. Suddenly a vibratory shock was felt, as though some huge body bad rubbed heavily against the cable, 30 fathoms of which were veered out. This tremu lous jarring continued some minutes, when the watch per ceived the vessel to be fairly under way, without hoisting mils, and going rapidly against the tide. All bands were fipsnediately summoned; and as they were mustering, a w e broke water directly in advance of the vessel's head. The monster's form was visible by the phosphoric sparkling of the foam around, as was also the sloop's cable, stretched horizontally from her bows at full length in the wake of the whale. It was at once concluded that this clumsy denizon of the deep, had by some means got the cable in his mouth, and slipping downwards by it, had reached the anchor, taken it up, thus becoming a " fisher of men," and was making the best of his way seaward at the rate of ten knots, puffing, blowing, and spouting like an alderman over a bowl of turtle soup and a bottle of champagne ! In this perilous predicament, after a brief consultation, one of the best marksmen was placed at the extremity of the bowsprit, armed with the fatal harpoon. Somewhat tired with his sport, Mr. Leviathan settled down in the customary way of relaxation—and the vessel appeared to remain stationary. Presently a breach of the waters under the bowsprit, announced his second emergence. By the flashing light of the waves alone the harpooner took aim, and launched the deadly weapon upon their unwel come convoy—who instantly sank, again to rise only to encounter au additional blow. Exasperated by this severe pricking, and still retaining his hold upon the /treat/ k. hook, his Blubber Majesty spluttered and floundered, and bolted in all directions; while the undaunted lancer at every convenient opportunity, inflicted fresh gashes upon his unwieldly antagonist. In this manner the contest was maintained for some time; when, exhausted with unavail ing exertion, the fish cleared himself, and our sloop was again at anchor. At day-light it was ascertained that the vessel had been dragged during this fray about five miles from her moor ings, towards a ledge of rocks. In the course of the fore noon the whale itself, utterly defunct, was thrown upon that ledge, whither some of the sloop's crew repaired in their boat, to examine and cut up their victim. His mouth was found to be much lacerated oil each side, pro bably by the friction of the cable, which, together with the anchor, were found, on weighing, to be wholly uniu-, jured. The whale measured 39 feet in leagth, but forded only a small quantity of oil. The foregoing relation we had verbally from the vener able Walter Floger, sen. of this place, now nearly ninety years of age, whose veracity is altogether unimpeachable. le is probably the sole survivor by many years of the company engaged in that expedition, and perhaps the only man ever living who might return an affirinative to the question (see Job xli. 1), " Canst thou draw out Leviathan with an hook?" A paragraph appeared lately in the Papers giving an ac count of an insurance effected by a Mr. Hewitt, on his stock, on the morning of the fire which took place in Lord street, Liverpool, and stating that the amount intended to be covered was doubled through the medium of the " active Agent' of the Assurance Office. The Agent has addressed a letter to the Editor of one of the Liverpool Papers; for the purpose of saying that there is not a word of truth in the paragraph. Byers, the informer, has lately visited and searched (under proper authority) the premises of several bakers, &c. in Hampshire, and made discovery of a variety of illegal ingredients (plaster of Paris and the like), which arc to he produced on the hearing of their cases before the Magistrates. - - - some wiseacres at Co!erne, Wiltshire, last week dis covered a wasp's nest in a wheat rick, and immediately, with most laudable sagacity, applied some lighted straw to it, by which the whole rick was nearly consumed. It is a singular fact, that within the last century a ta vern at liminster, Somersetshire, has been occupied by three successive proprietors, whose names were Goud—Bet ter—Best, who now is the landlord. A Goon Wirs.—A preacher in a funeral sermon on a lady, after summing up all her good qualities, added, " that she always reached her husband his hat, when he called for it, without muttering." Cuttn STEALING.—On Thursday last, between the hours of two and three o'clock in the afternoon, the family of Thomas Weller, a coach-smith, residing in Frederick-place. near the Dug and Stile, public-house Borough-road, were reduced to a state of great distress by the l oss of a child, a male infant, not above five months old. It appears Mat a servant girl had taken the child for an airing, when, by some means or other, it was stoic . ' from her by • young woman , who is described as of short stature, and fair complexion, and was dressed, at the time, I in a light shawl, a light-coloured flowered gown, and an old black straw bonnet. The crime of child stealing has of late been very prevalent, by females, who carry them away, for the mere purpose of stripping them of their wearing apparel. SPORTING 1757 TE LLIGENCP.

Lest night Tobin's comedy of the Honey Moon was produced at this house, for the purpose of introducing Mr. Wage to a London audience as the Duke Aronza. Of the three oh iracters in which we have •had an oppor tunity uf seeing this performer, we consider his Aran?"' the best. If the effort was not so adventurous as his fattier one, it was more successful, which was much better. The tetor has a fine voice (though somewhat of the sombre and unvaried class) for declamation, and ac cordingly the declamatory parts were well given. He "speaks as one having authority," and read the curtain lectured to his young and beautiful bride with the hap piest effect. Occasionally, too, there were indications of a erseefai ease and airy sprightliness in the performance, for which, as we had not given Mr. Warde credit, it was the more agreeable to find he them. For the developinetit of those qualities trr s eh s : d l been no previous opportunity, and the audience, as well as ourselves, ap peared to be taken by surprise, and applauded their exhi bition loudly. Mr. Power (of the Lyceum and Adelphi theatres) made bit first appearance on these hoards as Rolando. What induced the performer to select the character of the eceen tr. c amian-liater for the occasion, we do not pretend to di -.;ne. We cheerfully admit it was a highly respectable per f r osnee, bat it was in a far different line of character he first attracted attention and secured public favour. He would 41) well to stick to his Irishmen, and leave the walking retitlemen of the drama to inferior performers. Indeed, I.lr. Power appeared to feel sensibly he was out of his ele treat, and did all that in him lay to render Rolando, in voice, woe, and gesture, as Irish as possible—but it would not o. • _ _ _ Iloni.st master Lampcdu, farrier and physician, was fa motley played by Blanchard, who looked as thin as if be hail been in the habit of taking his own prescriptions for lack of patients to do him that service ; or, in other words, he was as hunger-stricken as the jolly hostess (Mrs. Daven- Nrt) was the contrary, who appeared, in like manner, to hate &vaned her entire larder for want of customers. Juliana was sustained with delightful point and effect by Mix Cheater, and Mts. Chatterley did all that could be done for her sister Vulanle. Mr. Meadows played the mock duke, Jalrez, with very commendable absurdity; and Mr. Keeley had the part of Lopez, which was little like him saf, but be made the most of it. At the conclusion of the fourth act the customary dance by the characters was introduced, in which Mr. Warde and Miss Chow; sustained a part, to the great apparent delight of tha audience. For our part, we thought their slanting extraordinary fur nothing but gentility anti unaffected ease ; but the galleries seemed to think it very miraculous that a tragedian and a first-rate comic actress should dance like human beings, and the ballet was encored, and repeated On Wednesday, we observe, Mr. Wavle appears in the character of Rob Roy, in the opera of that name, and on Thursday as Foster, in Rowley s comedy, A Woman Never /at. On Tuesday It'a Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex passed through Ilinghtm, Notts, on his return from visit tug Colonel Wildman, at Ncwstead Abbey. On that night the Royal Duke reached Bourn, in this county, and slept there at the Angel Inn. On Wednesday morning he pro ceeded on his way to Holkham. We yesterday corrected the statement into which the daily papers had fallen with regard to the health of the Archbishop of Canterbury. We know, on the best au thority, that his Grace 'preached, and administered the bacrament, in one of the parish churches at Dover last Sunday morning, and that be fit in no degree fatigued from the exertion. It is reported at Briahron, that Bvetn-house will be w e:ivied, after the pat of Novoinher. by a Noble Duke and Duchess, whose (esthetics will make the " welkin ring' In celebrating the joyous event which, before that period, will have taken place in the north. It is reported among the hart ton, that the nuptials be- Neen Lloyd Bamford liesketb, Eaq. and Lady Emily Lygou, youngest daughter of the Countess of Beauchamp, are to be solemnised in the beginning of the week. We are happy to learn that the health of Mr. Wilkie, eate !painter, is much better than had been reported. lie left lie seva about three weeks ago for Rome, where he was le winter.

The first October Meeting has terminated this day, having been very thinly attended. This is generally the case, as the stakes contended for at this meeting do not have any influence on subsequent engagements. Many reasons may be given for the races this week being so unusually dull, the most probable of which are these : the many shooting parties in different parts of the king dom, the unattractive appearance of the bill of fare, and the recent termination of the Doncaster Races, which have in a great measure damped the spirit of speculation in the sporting classes. Previous to visiting the race-course this morning, hie Royal Highness the Duke of York received the loyal ad dress of thanks of the Corporation and Colleges of Cam bridge, for his conduct on the Catholic ques►ion. The procession was splendid, and consisted of* the Mayor and corporate body, and the heads of the colleges, filling six teen carriages. The address was received by his Royal Highness in the Great Hall at Cheveley, aud after return ing a suitable answer, his Royal Highness departed for the race-course, to witness the contest between his Lion and the Painter (as Lionel Lincoht and Hogarth are called), on the decision of which his Royal Highness returned to Cheveley, the noble and hospitable proprietor of which had provided a grand collation for 100 guests. -There was only one race to day, but the interest it ex cited, and the beautiful style in which it was disputed, made ample amends for the lack of others. Match, 200 sous. T. Y. C. Mr. Greville's Lionel Lincoln, Ost. 3lbs. . . I Mr. Ilatson's Hogarth, Bst.7lbs. . - 2 This match has excited greater interest and more betting than any other this week, or perhaps during the year. At the beginning of betting on the course it was 6 to 4 on Hogarth—it soon after fell to evens, and at starting was 5 to 4 on him. They went off' in the 6nest style, neck and neck. at a slashing rate, and continued so for nearly half a mile, when Hogarth got in front by about two lengths, and kept so till near the cords; here llogarth's friends were in full glee, offering heavy odds to any amount against the Lion—lOU to 5, and other sums at similar odds, were taken, but when Goodison got within the cords, he brought his old tactics into play, crept up by degrees, and within a few lengths made his grand rush, and popped Lionel. in front by a head, amidst the cheering of hundreds, but to the discomfiture of many. llogarth was rode in good style by John Day. TIIE AAMY. The 99th regiment of infantry has received orders to embark on board the Kaines, Southwark. and Layton, transports, on their ar rival at Portsmouth, for the Mauritius. A detachment belonging to the East India Company's service was ordered to embark yesterday, at Billingsgate, for Gravesend, on route to Chatham. THE IRISII PEASANTRY. The Dublin Evening Post, introduces the extraordinary letter we published yesterday from Mr. Oltegan, the Pariah Priest of Drotnin, respecting the intended massacre of the inhabitants of that parish by some ruffians from an adjacent district, with the following observations on the character of the Irish peasantry : " It is known to every one who knows any thing of the character of our rural population, that, when not com bined against the laws and the landlords, they a►e di.- tided into factions, which assemble at fairs and markets, and commit upon each other the most abominable outrages, which almost constantly terminate in one or more nine den. The circumstance has been repeatedly noticed, and we remember that it formed in one of the Lord Lieute tenant's letters to the Secretary of State, which were pub lished by the order of Parliament, a prominent topic.

BRADFORD COMBERS AND WEAVES/4. lire refer our readers to the authorised statement of dice Associated Masters, at Bradford, respvting the average wages of ty cambers and weavers, antecedent to the pre sent " turn out." The public will be able, on perusing it, to appreciate the correctness of the doleful representatiorio published from time to time by the Union. They have re. pettedly asserted that the embers could notobtain above 14s. and the weavers 10s. per week, and in a hand-bill, calling a meeting at South Shields, to subscribe for the re-A lief of these " turn outs," it is alleged that they only rule for I‘2s. to 134. per week, which their employers refuse. The Associated Masters, strikieg an average for the last few months, from a comparison of the books of a considera— ble number of spinners and manufacturers, make the reit suit as follows: Average wages of combers upon t h e liner s. rti 225. pet seek. Average wages of comber' upon the 1 .,„ lower quallties. . . "' per week. And with this they observe is to be coupled the materiel fact, " that the trade of a wool-comber can be learnt a; any period of life, at a very trifling expense, and ip tap short space of a f e w nispithe ;" so that in reality, comber* stand very near the level of common labourers. With specs to the wearers, the muter, state that the work is performed by men, women, and children, ipdiscrirnir nately, and that u hen the larger proportion consists of women and children, the average, taken from the samp source as thatc: combers, has been 121. dd. per week. Ia refutation of Tester's assertion at an " Operative" meet— ing at Manchester last week, that the best workmen could earn only from 14s. to 16s. a week, the Bradford mmeens declare that his (Tester's) own wages for the eix previous to the present strike, a verage d 2 4 5 . per week It is right that the " Operatives" throughout the itingina should be informed of these facts; and that, although the"' were published on Saturday, th e meet i ng at Faiewestilep• green, on Monday last, did not attempt to impugn Lbc perfect accuracy of the ma sters ' s t atement . The imports,* additional fact, that the children of the combers employe& in the mills also earned large sums weekly, deserves to be kept in mind. Notwithstanding the increase of alloWaaMS mentioned below, in cur correspondent's letter, we know that the " turn-outs" begin to feel the pressure of distress severely. Their credit at small shopkeepers' has been ex-t bausted, in consequence of the protracted length of Os, strike, and while many drop off' from the Upton, many more would do so but from fear of the fatal consequetressi. We can assure our readers that the inhabitants of Braelpe ford are afraid, among themselves, to express a outdid opinion of the state of things by which they are fur. raunded. This need not be wondered at, when one of OA orators at Fairweather-green, on Monday last, sig.M4— candy put the following hypothetical case He .hope& die masters would never do what they could wish. Sup— pose he had the unlimited power of an Emperor, and tladt the natives at pleasure, could he, with human feeliigs,. allow the innocent to suffer? Could he throw a guiltlesa man into a state of distress, without a feeling of sympathy towards him? Would such man be worthy of life? The sooner he quits this state of existence the better. In the mean time, Tester is well clad, has got his house well fur—. nished, and " fares sumptuously I" We received the following letter last night:-- " Bradford, Oct. 5. 1825. " Matters remain here as they were last week, with the exception,' that instead of the Committee At the Roebuck reducing the allow. sore from 7a. to ss. weekly, as was reported, they have raised it to men having families, to Bs. weekly. The masters are, evidently, out-getewled by the men ; every step taken by the fo r mer, tends to place the latter on higher ground as to resources. It is very confidently reported, that prep irations are making in concurrence with the Union Committee, to commence manufacturing in oppo. sltion to the masters, on a large scale." Our correspondent at Hu ldersfield, urder the same date„ writes, that " at the adjourned meeting of the manufac turers of that town , held on Tuesday week, Mr. Norton, of Clayton, near Barnsley, was called to the chair, when, after some conversi.ton, it was determinli not to support the Bradford manufaciuras." The masters at Bingley have resolved to adopt the resoi lutions of the Bradford and Halifax Association, relative to requiring their work-people to sign a written disavowal, 9f any connexion with -the Union.—Leeds Intriligencer. BRADFORD DISSENSIONS. There is yet no change in the aspect of affairs in this matter ; there are indeed various rumours of the Un. re funds beginning to fail, coming chiefly through the Loi - don opposition Press; but we believe no diminution in tl weekly allowances has yet taken place, and therefore s • have no proof that these rumours are true. A meeting of the Masters' Association of this town toolc place on Thursday last, which was attended by several gentlemen from the neighbouring towns—this meeting, we stated in our last, was intended to invite a more perfect co operation among the manufacturers of Keighley, and its vicinity ; but it seems to have failed in this purpose, that manufacturers there not being willing to go the same& length with those in this town and at Ilalifax.

The following is from our Keighley correspondent:— Kcigldey, Oct. 5. For reasons best known to themselves, none of the manufactura, en of Keighley, and its vicinity, have brought their work-people' to the test of signing recommended by the Bradford gentlemen; but it appears to be the general opinion, that unless some improve... ment take place in the markets, the masters will be under the te. cessity of dismissing many of their inferiot hands,—indeed one of the principal manufacturers turned off a considerable number last week. We have been favoured, however, with a sight of a letter from one of the manufacturer; of Binglee, from which we learn that is that town, the masters a 4 aware of the inefficiency of half.measures„ and that Messrs. Sharpe, and others, have evinced a praiseworthy. readiness to co-operate with those masters in the trade, who require from eo:kmen the test of signatures. Not to require this, is mini. festly a wretched evasion of doing what is right. We know per. fectly, that workmen will readily disclaim, verbally, any connexion with the Union, and will yet refuse to declare this in writing; they who see any difference between telling a falsehood , and writing falsehood, have a droll creed ; but we know that such is the ha. Only the other day, eight or ten workmen applies; for employment, to one of our Manufacturers, and expressed their perfect medians to assert, that they had no connexion whatever with the Union. b*s upon teing told by the muter, that if such was the case, they. could have no objection to sign to that effect, they to a man refused. This is a fact for which we vouch ; and upon the face of butt facts, is it not idle to pretend a co-operation, and to refuse adopting this test ? The usual meeting was held at Fairweather-green on Musilayeven. ing ; the meeting was thinly attended. George Holmes was in the chair, and John Tester absent. The Chairman woke cheeringly ;he stated that the end of the last week the sin p'us gull) in hand was 2001. greater than it had been the previous seek. He exhorted them to courage, and expressed some regret at having. designated the masters tyrants. One Marsden, of Dewsbury, next spoke. He said the du:liters of Dewsbury were determined to support the Bradford workmen" as long as they needed support ; and he added, that a rent de. I was done there be private subscription. Speaking of the Bradford masters, he said many of them would be glad to see the workmen gathering crumbs from their tables, lie advised worktnen not to sign any thing that might be presented to them or signs. ture by their employers ; and he stated that it was in contemplo. tion in his town to double the subscriptions for their Bradford friends. Mr. iValworth. of Keighley. also eddresstd the rneeti.ig ; is reprobated the idea of union being any way connected with radical ism ; which he detested as much as anybody. lie mentioned tint receipt of one letter from London, containing 401- mid of atutber from a London newspaper editor, remitting 1001. ; and ,he *toned, that a plan was now in progress by which they would removed from the iron grasp of their late employers; in place of regarding ;nesters with kindly feelings, they were looked upon, had ahnost said, as one looks upon a rattle-snake; and, although the President seemed to think he had done wrer.g in calling than tyrants, he tWalwortio did not think so. The CHAIRMAN again said a few words in the way of eticou. ragement, and also ridiculed the notion of there being any mem blauce between union and radicalism. The ;Uniting then adjourned.
