There Sr. now going forward, improvements in the town re. sidence, more comprehensive than any which have hitt WO taken place. An entire front, in fact, is pulled down. These two are necensarily curtailed from the foregoing statement. Notwithsoantling however, such deficiencies, the general total makes* pretty round suns : —56,2961. in five years—and during the economical Administration of Mr. Peel t! It sheuld, however, in candour, be admitted, that thin, extravagant as it may appear, is 2000 less then what has beets paid out of the Droits of the Ad mi ralts , far the furniture and repairs of the {lasi'. lion at Brighton. If the Regent can spend 58,3601. u; one residence, why OEIO4 not an Irish Lord Lieutenant spend 56.2961. upon Imo? AN fiQuistra.—A Correspondent furnishes as with the tollowit , g picture of an Exquisite, alias a Dandy, in distress Walking along the side of one of she squares last week, it was my fate to follow an Excinisite—stocked and stayed, laced and hound, colleted and pilloried, in ill the fashion ; so slender, so straight, awl so stiff, that a man of reasonable strength might have used it as a walking stick. This thing, tiut wiling a wery nice perfumed handkerchief, happened to let it drop—the question was then how to get it up 'gala—Steil , it could not, and I con fess I enjoyed its distress; for though for any other female I would have raised the handkerchief with alacrity, I wished to see hoe this. creature would help itself. Then thus it was; —having eyed the handkerchief askance, somethiog like a magpie peeping into a marrow hone, it gently %predated nut Its legs, and lowered the body between them, as in a sitting posture, it brought the left hand in contact with the object sought. What shall we say to the association of ideas, when I assure you, that looking on this unmanly figure, brought into my mind the Knights of AO, who, once unhorsed, could never, from the weight and stiffness of their armour, hope to mount again ?" N. B. It is found remarkably convenient in such a case for the Esquisite to carry a cane or stick with a honk at the end, as he may fish .up any thing he unfortunately drops without break ing his back or exciting the pity and risibility of the spectator a. On Monday Mr. CHAD, who lately returned from Ala-la-Chapelle, set r.ll again for that place, having taken Lord CA4TLEREAGIeS final orders as to his hou.eand establishment thero.

Auo. 9.—Captain Ridley, of the triad whale-ship of this port, jest returned froth the, Northern Ocean, informs me, that on the 10th May he was in lat. 80.55. about eight miles from Spittbet gen, in '32 fathoms wales ; the sun was at a great al 7 sited@ ; there was scarcely any night ; they could fol: low the glorious luminary circling again and agile: round the heavens—the atmosphere at this time was very clear—Captain It. went to the top-mast, and could see with a glass to the extent of between 40 and '5O miles (as he supposes) over the great Polar Ocean, which was much more open than when he was in let. 81. last year. There were indeed large islands of flaw ice floating about ; but he says the sea was na: . vigable, without great difficulty, as far as the ey• mild reach, But the ire was running ashore, and accumulating iu large masses on the northern coast of Spitsbergen. Captain Ridley thinks the es prdition came too late ; presuming that the open ing he found would soon be closed ; and, as far as he knows, it was then the only one westward of Spitsbergen. Indeed, it would undoubtedly ape pear, that the Discovery Ships have been obliged to abandon the attempt to navigate the sea between Greenland and Spitsbergen; Captain R. says, that when he left the sea, there wes an immense accumu. lation of field and ikto ice, stretching almost from shore to shore. Ile quitted the vicinity of Spits bergen about the 15th of May, and directed his' course towards Greenland. About the middle of June, being in Wiled. 78. 120 miles from laud, as nearly as he can judge, the *Pother very rainy, with thick fog, he spoke an Aberdeen whale fishing ship, the master of which had seen the Discovery Ships, on the 19th of June, in latitude 80; and *eta on board with his log-book. tie was Wormed by the Officers that they had explored in every direction to the writ of Spitsbergen, for a wimp northward. but could not get half a decree farther than they then were. They were steering S. W. when last seen.— Whether they might not find it practicable to peas between Spitsbergen and Nova Zembla, is another question. Their S W. course would induce us to think they did not intend trying it at that time.— From all this, there is much apparent cause for re gret that the expedition did not set out sooner ; as then they might have coasted Spitzh-rgen, and en. fere() the Polar Basin by the opening which Captain Ridley fouud. POST4QN• OF thrl'AftS. .. ~ 7,468 9,746 CARNARVON, JULY 25—Foots ersa ANTIQUA• BIANS —A few mouths ago eta bought for a guinea, of a poor man, a beautiful gold ring. It was found in removing some rubbish by the great gate of the Castle. It has engraved upon it, the figure of a re. male, nursing a child, with either a ChWese or Saxon inactiptinii. Neither the Antiquariaris here, 11 , 4 at Chester, can make out the inacriptiorr, and it is now in the Antiquarian S-ciety, in Loudon.— The Lady who purchased it, has been already offered twenty pines% for it. It has, uitheut doubt, lain there duce the building of the mhos. structure : when found, it was inclosed in a sm4 11 silver nos. along with some little things like crucifies, o hich thac fellow that sound them threw away, because, he says, they were decayed and not worth keeping. Bonae, in his celebrated speech on public economy, made the following remarks :••-• 44 I do most serrousiv pot it to Administration to consider the wisdom of a timely reform ; early reformations are amicable arringements with a friend in power ;—late reform& lions are terms imposed upon a conquered one ray. Early rilformations are made in cold blood ;•—late rtformations are made under a state of infirm. million. In that state of things the People be• held in Government nothing that is respectable; they see abuse, and will see nothing else.— Let the Commons in Parliament assembled, be one and the same thing with the Commons at large; the distinctions that are made to separate us are unnatural and wicked contrivances ; let us identify let os incorporate ourselves with the People—let us cut all the cables and snap the chains which tie us to an unfriendly shore, and enter the friendly harbour that shoots far out into the main its moles and jetties to receive us. Let os give a faithful pledge to the People that we honour the Crown, but that we belong to them—that we are their auxiliaries, and not their task-masters—their fellow.la banters iu the same vineyard ; not lording it over their rights, but helpers of their joy." At the last Quarter Sessions for the county of Sussex, some demur was made on the presentation of the Coroner's quarterly account, in which he had computed his distance from, as well as to, the places at which he had held inquisitions, and charged for the whole number of miles out cud in. The bill was, however, allowed, under the authority of an opinion which the present Atiorney•General had given of the case. Serjeant Fuctiv has given a similar opistion ; and the alio wance.has been made in Middlesex, Sur rey, Susses, and various other counties. Two whales have been seen for the last fats or sis days inside the harbour's mouth at Cove ; on Sunday, the City of Cork steam packet, with a great num ber of passengers on board, proceeded to sea for a few boors, and went very near Yooghal harbour; we were informed by a Gentleman who was on board, that the steam.hoat passed quite close to one of these whales near the harbour's mouth, and the persons on board had a distinct view of it, and were much amused at seeing it spout up the water, which it did to a considerable height ; two row-boats were en deavouring to drive it inside the harbour, but with little effect; the appearance of these whales on our coasts, may be owing to the icebergs, which have lately been so much talked of by navigators. — (Cork Paper.) Thursday a very melancholy accident happened at Blackhill.locks, near Glasgow. A young woman, Margaret Wilson, was washing on the bank of the Canal, when the Lock.keeper, a young man of the name of Sinclair Henderson, making fun with her, they both fell into the water, and were drowned. On the 24 ult. at Sold. a small town nine leagues from Nome, after a terrifying noise, a tremendous hail storm came an, which lasted three quarters of an hour ; some of the hail-stones weighed eighteen ounces. Several persons were datigeroody wnuud ed, a number of animals were killed, arid the vines, which promised a magnificent harvest, were totally destroyed. " To the Senior Magistrate of Aberdeeo." .
