An extract from the Austrian Observer, which we have given in another co!uinn, draws; as might be expected from that Paper—the relentletis, inveterate foe of Greek independence—the most disheartening and despe rate picture of the condition of the Patriots of the Mores. This is .ecompanicd by some ambiguous and mysterious hints respecting the proceedings of Commodore Muir- TON, as if he bad been intriguing with the Greek leaders to induce them to solicit the protectorship of Great Britain. A very recent act of his MA3ESTV . B Government is a con clusive answer to these libels upon the sincerity of English neutrality. We wish every other Court in Europe could with the same truth disclaim any sinister bias in favour of either of the belligerents. The Session of the States General, it is announced, will be opened at the Hague on the 11th of this month. The following are further ex:racts fIatyISELII, OCT• 4. Baron de Barbier, intrusted by Austria with a mission to out Government relative to pecuniary arrangements between the two Governments, to adjust the claims arising from the ancient con. nexions between Belgium and the Court of Vienna, is said to be on the paint of terminating his long residence at Brussels. and of returning to Gernisny. The Chamber of Commerce at Amsterdam has published a communimtion from the Minister of the Marine and the Colonies, dated Sept. 22, announcing that the Vice-Admiral Governor of Curacoa has informed, by letter, that on the 22d June, he had detained, in the port of Puerto Cabello, a brig, which had been called by the natnei of Rome Libre, and the Liberator, under the command of Jose del Cotarro, accused of having committed acts of piracy upon several vessels of different nations ; among which are two belonging to the Nethetlrria, the one the Aimsble Pauline, of Antwerp, bound to the Rio de la Plata, from which the pirate took several cases of wine, and 21 cases of silk, all which be landed at La Gusyra and at Puerto Cabello, and another Belgian brig (name unknown), bound from Batavia to Amsterdnm, from which he took, off the Cape Verd Islands, 20 bales of coffee, 20 serons of sugar, a bale of pepper, and other articles. M. Van Ruclere, Commercial Agent of the Nether. lands, addressed a note on the subject to the Magistrates at Puerto Cabello; bf report of the Governor, dated 12th July, ft appears that the remonstrance has been received by the Maritime Court an Puerto Cabello. The persons interested are, therefore, invited to state their claim before that Court. A USTI Da 31, OCT. 4. —Ezebano on London, nr. 10e.; two months, NE 7c. We would willingly hope that, in the interval between this at the meeting of Parliament, the workmen in the different trades have returned to the regular pursuit of their true interests, and will have come round to the con viction that no weekly pittance that can be doled out to them by the Union into which they have keen persuaded to enter, can compensate for the entire loss of that inde pendence which is to be found in their own honest earn ings. The wiser among them, we have no doubt, will, ere lung, disclaim the treacherous influence by which they have been betrayed. There is always a lingering attach ment to the principles of justice and fair dealing in the hearts of the common people of this country, which, if they are left to themselves, will bring them back to the right path when they have once discovered that they are widely straying away from it. They arc at present misled —we are adverting, of course, to the working classes—by a few designing men, who, under the mask of a zeal for the improvement of their condition, are daily stimulating them into new follies, and goading them to excesses, of whie. they throw the reproach upon them, while they take the profit to themselves. No doctrine can be more untrue or more pernicious than that which represents the prqfst of Me capitalist as the idle man's share of the industrious man's earnings. Yet this is the doctrine which is now indus triously propagated throughout all the manufacturing dis tricts of the kingdom, for the purpose of alienating the labouring classes from their employers, and exciting them to carry the system of combination to the full extent of all its prepostetous consequences. The union system may invest them with a shadowy power, but it will strip them of all substantial energy. We would support the work men in all their claims so long as the: , are confined to their legitimate and acknowledged rights. The instant they begin to invert the order of things, there we leave them.We cannot sup port them in struggling against the institutions of nature, because, in so doing, either they are mischievously misled, or they sin against their better knowledge, and in both cases society is only safe by arming itself against their preten sions. To auppore that the operatives in the different trades can, by forming a union, however extensive, among themselves, procure permanently the means of subsisting with case and comfort in a state of disunion from their em ployers, could never, one should think, have entered the mind of any man relieved from a strait-waistcoat. And yet this is the supposition which the present system of sc paration acts upon ; but to what result will it lead ? To a state of remediless confusion, afflictive alike to the work man and the master. Let the workman better his con daion to the utmost of his means, but do not let him fancy l i that, under any combination, he can level the natural in equalities of human condition. It is sheer infatuation. In vain will be endeavour to produce fruit from any other stock than that on which Cod has appointed it to grow ; but by cultivating that stock the fruit will be produced, and abundant enough, for the most part, fully to reward the industry employed upon it. An attempt is at present making to reverse all the received notions of property which have hitherto prevailed in the world. At our first leisure we shall draw out the new doctrines in their true form, and display, in detail, the consequences to which they lead. CITY, TIIUHSDAY EVENING. We have again to record an uninteresting day on the Stock Exchanges. The business in Consols was limited, and the price rather drooped. They opened at 88 87j, but they did not lung remain at that price, fur at twelve o'clock closed. Exchequer Bills were at la. discount to 2s. premium. Although money was generally scarce, and the business trifling in the Foreign Market, still some of the Securities in it were a shade better. Greek Scrip, for instance, was at 2t 231 discount; and indeed there was an-evident reason for this improvement, for there are letters in town from Greece, of the 3d of September, which detail a series of successes on the part of the Patriots, and assert that Ibrahim Pacha was at Meton, wilt his army in a very sickly state (it was said by some persons that the plague had made its appearance in it), and suffering se verely for want of-provisions. Old Spanish Bends were ICI 17 ; Colombian Bonds 741 75; and Mexican Scrip 101 I discount. The other Stocks were at yesterday's quotations; and in Shares the transactiontwere quite unimportant. Indeed much busi ness cannot be looked for in au) of the Money Markets until after the payment of the October dividends, and the settlement of the long Consuls Account, which will also be iminedhitely succeeded by the• settling day in the Foreign Stocks. The Mincing-lane Market had more cheerfulness in it than yesterday, but there was no improvement in prices. Her Serene highness the Duchess Dowager of Saxe Co burg and her family arrived at Brussels,on the 2d inst. Whin the King of Prussia, accompanied by the Royal family of the Netherlands, went to visit the field of Wa terloo, his Majesty desired to be shown the spot where the Prince of Orange received his wound, and took this occa sion to confer on his Royal Highness the command of one of the finest regiments in the Prussian army, which will henceforth beat his name. The Courier gt Me Meuse announces that the establish ments of the brethren of the Christian schools have been suppressed in the province of Namur; it has not yea learnt any thing respecting the establishments under the direc tion of the brethren in Liege. 'l'he papers of the Vicar of the church of St. Nicholas, at Ghent, have been put under seal. M. De Muvnek not having obeyed a summons issued out against him, the King's Attorney-General and one of the judges went to his house and sealed up his papers, because he did not ap pear in court as called upon.—Brussels Paper, Oct. 4: A Belgian journal states, that a great part of the pupils from that country, in the little seminary of St. Nicholas, which has just been suppressed, and several others of the College of Alost, whose studies are suspended, have been sent by their parents to St. Acheul, in I'icardy. It is re markable that while young Belgians are sent to St. Acheul, the Paris journals inform us that many French families send their children to Switzerland and Germany for educa tion. A letter from Bayonne, dated the 24th of September, contains the following passage :—" The new system of medicine requiring the use of many leeches, a great num ber are obtained from the Spanish provinces in our vicinity. A few days ago, an individual, who was looking for these things, was seized by four Spaniards, and fastened to a tree. These monsters then applied the leeches he hail caught to all parts of his body, and left him to die amidst the most horrible torments. In this state he was found by some of his companions, from whom we had the informa tion, and who, for their own safety, have deetned it neces sary to leave Spain." Extract of a letter from Demerara, dated the 11th of August, 1823:—" We continue to experience the most alarming weather, which must, ere long, utterly anni. hilate this division of the colony ; we have neither water nor provisions, and the cane plant will noon be extinct amongst us.'' Letters from Demerara to the 13th August arrived yes terday ; they do not allude to any sickness, either in that colony or in Berbice. We have received Jamaica Papers to the 14th of Au gust. They contaiir no intelligence worth extracting. The report of a very extensive coinadia.ddoubloons in London, of a value two dollars inferior to the coinage circulated in South America, is again repeated- and it is said that they would be circulated in Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. The rumour has been taken up seriously by the intendants of the different departments, otherwise we should conceive the report unworthy of tiCsiiesz The appearance of the sugar crop for next season was very favourable: The remains of Madame Joseph Bonaparte, which have lain for eleven years in a vault in the clime]] of Ruel, were transferred on Tuesday to the tomb which has been raised to her memory by her children, in one of the lateral chapels. It is of very large dimensions, and made entirely of white marble. The Pilute says, that "letters from Vienna, of the 20th September, mention that the Minister for Foreign Affairs had received from Constantinople despatches from Bron Ottenfels, relating to an important communication made to him by the Reis Effendi and to several other Foreign Ambassadors. The contents had not transpired, but it was supposed to refer to Greece. The communica. tion has caused the departure of couriers from Constanti nople to most of the Foreign Cabinets." Advices from Gibraltar. dated the 13th September, mention that the Sicilian Consul had received an express, stating that the Emperor of Morocco would immediately declare war against Sicily, Tuscany, Austria, Prussia, and the Hans Town., oil account of there being no resident Consuls in Morocco from these States. The condition of his Majesty's maritime ft . e throws, however, an air of ridicule over this wholesale warfare. His navy consisted only of one schooner. The letters from Barcelona confirm the reports of great damage done to the fruit in the southern provinces of Spain by excessive rains. The destruction of the crisp reached as far north as Valencia. The paragraph lately published by several of our con temporaries, meutionin the departure of General Mina and family from Southampton for Jersey, is incorrect. It was General Milans who embarked. Considerable numbers of persons have lately emigrated from Germany ; their destination is the Brazils, and it is supposed that means are thus taken by his Brazilian Ma jesty to recruit his kingdom, every barrier to the execution of this objection being removed or neglected. It perhaps may not be generally known to the mercantile world,that all vessels coming from Alexandria (Egypt)with cotton, although they may be furnished with clean bills of health, must perform quarantine at Macro]. The Friend ship arrived in the Downs on Wednesday, and, it will be seen by the. Deal letter, was prevented from proceeding to Stsngate Creek: Ex - tract of a letter dated Mexico, July 2 :—" It has been supposed that this country was more under the influence of Roman Catholic superstition than the other states of Spa nish America, but the letter of Padre Mier, on the subject of the circular written by his Holiness, and addressed to the Mexican people, will tend, wherever it is circulated, to produce a contrary Impression. Dr. Mice's letter has been read and approved of by all ranks, and has been co pied into the Government Gazette. So much, indeed, has it been sought after, that another edition has been struck off. As this is the first time that the supremacy of the Pope has been called in question, we cannot help consider. lug the reception this paper has met with as a favourable oinen.” ESTAALIIIIIMINT or A ROPER? ATVAT.P•RAIIIO.—The following is an extract of a letter from Michael Reynolds. Esq., dcted Valparaiso, May 9, 1825:--" A cable and cordage_ manufactory is on the eve of commencing here. It will be managed by British animus, brought rut for the purpose, and there is no doubt, from the well known good quality of the hemp, that every article in that line can be made equally as good u in England; and from the low rates at which hemp can be laid in, cordage can be sold here fur two-thirds o f time English prices. This will supersede the necessity of your sending out additional sup plies in vessels for this quarter. The Government have granted the the only ground in this place for the purpose of establishing a rope-walk, with an exclusive privilege, and any other public security that may be thought neces-. nary."—Liver F ooi Courier. An American frigate from Fisco, a port neighbouring to Lima, entered the harbour of Cadiz on the ldth ult. bring ing eighty-five officers of the army of General La Serna. Having touched at Rio de Janeiro, she was obliged to un dergo eight days quakantine. The Gover nor did not ap pear inclined to glee the officers a very flattering reception. THE GREEKS. The efiarrriew Observer, having mentioned the intrigue of the Deputies of the several Philhellenic Societies, which have ended In the application to England, gives a detail of the proceedings of the English squadron, the substance of which is, that the squadron, consisting of three frigates, a cot vette and a brig, assembled on the 12th July in the roads of Patin, a frigate and a brig =lied to Mit solonglii, and the remainder with Commodsre Hamilton to the Archipelago; that the latter, on the 19th, wets before Napoli, where he found another frigate, a corvette, and a brig, aril also the London Packet merchantman, with a ntw remittance of 5,090 f. sterling, from London. Commodore Hamilton himself arrived at Napoli on the 20th, baring been on the 19th a: Sperzia, and on the same day the Greek GovrrnmeEt had an extraordinary meeting, in which 31surocordato. who had lately arrived from Hydra, is said to have presented a Report., in which he painted the desperate situation of Greece, the fruitlessness of resistance, the dissolution of all discipline, the want of money, and the necessity of submitting to some European Power as the only means of safety left, recommending, it is added, Eng. land, as the ntost powerful at sea and the most opulent. On the 21st .111auroccedato, Trikupi Coletti, and Spiliotaki went on board the Cambrian, to lay before Commodore Hamilton the desire of the. Greek nation. What reply the Commodore made we cannot state with certainty on a mere report. After their return the Deputies, attended by a great crowd, repaired to the hall of the Government, and ,opened a register, in which those who declared for England should inscribe their names. The same had been done on the 20th at Spezzia. On the 231 July Iluduri brought the news to Hydra, Comlurlatt assembled the people in the great Convent, and informed them of the real state of affairs in the Peloponnesus. Ile declared all the reports hitherto spread of victories stated to have been gained to be pure fictions to deceive the people; that Cobcotronis force was dispersed; that the Mainotes were inactive; that Ibrahim, from his position at Tripolizza, could make excursions at pleasure ; and that the best they could do was to follow the example of Navtli trnd Spestia. This proposal caused considerable agitation, and several persons said—" It was well known that it had long since been intended to sell them to England." The Ilyba Gazette, up to the Ist August (N.S.). says not a word of all these ire:nue:ions. The Osservatore Veneziano of September 22, contains the following detailed account of the attempt made by the Greeks to destroy the Turkish vessels in the harbour of Alexandria by means of fire-ships:— "On the 10th of August, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the advanced post of the pilots gave the signal usual on the arrival cf ships, that other pilots might go out to bring them into the harbour. Soon after three brigantines were descried, which, at five o'clock, hoisted flags_-one a Russian, the second an lonian, and the third, as it seemed, an Austrian ay. The first, having taken a pilot on board, entered the harbour half an hour before the others, and, fol lowing the direction of the wind, sought an anchorage near several Turkish vessels, two of which were frigates. The other brigantines followed at some distance. All these were Greek fire-ships. The first was recognised, and those 011 boat d perceiving this, set It on• tire in the middle of the harbour, and to the windward of one hun dred European merchantmen ' and a French brig. The crew got into their longboat and fled, leaving the pilot en board the fire :ship, which burst into flames, but fortunately did not explode, per. haps for want of sufficient combustibles ; passing through the fo rests of masts, it ran aground. The two others, seeing this, took to Hight a couple of balls which the French brig fired at the long. Lat (tithe first reached, but did not injure it. If this attempt had succeeded, not a ship would have escaped. The town would have been reduced to ruins, and the sailors and inhabitants been sacri ficed. Providence, however, protected both the Egyptians and the E3lopeens. The Viceroy of Eg ypt, who was at Alexandria, or dered the Vice-Governor (Billal Aga) to put to sea in the evening of the 10th, in pursuit of the fire-ships. On the 11th, the Gover nor and Director of the Marine followed, with several ships, to se cond the Vice-Governor in pursuit of the Greeks. During the whole night of the 11th, a heavy cannonade was heard, the Greek cruiser having met, off Damietta, a number of sn all Turkish mer chantmen, with the convoy of which they were engaged. The next morning a report was spread that the Vice-Governor, instead of proceeding towards the side from which the can. nonade came, had stewed in the opposite direction to the west. The Viceroy, incensed at this, went on board his corvette, lately built at Genoa, on the 12th, in the morning, to pursue the Greeks. He was accompanied by many of his most faithful servants, among whom was Petrona Bey. Ile left the Government to Base Aga, to Soliman Aga (Director of the Customs), and to alias Ala, a brother of the Vice-Governor, making them all subordinate to Bogbas Jussuff. On the 13th the Capttan Pacha arrived at Alex. ambla with his4eet ; it consisted of ten frigates, ten corvettes, and I about twenty brigs and schooners. The absence of the Viceroy, and the unexpected appearance ot' the Capitao Pacha, alarmed the people. The Capitan Pacha, ignorant of the absence of the Vice. roy, sent a written application to hint for perwissioo to enter the harbour. Three days after his arrival, the Consuls of :he foreign Powers sent their interpreters to compliment him. On the 14th, twenty other ships put to sea, and on the 16th two more, to cruise in the Leighbourlng seas. On the 14th too, the Regency sent an English cutter (a merchantman) with a letter to the Viceroy, re questing him to return. The cutter returned the next day, with. out having found the Viceroy, but Will sent out again. On the 17th, the Selictar Aga arrived from Cairo. At length, on the morning of the 29th, the Viceroy returned, having passed through the Canal and visited Cyprus and Fanea, without having met with an enemy's ship. He immediately caused due honours to be paid to the Capitan Pa th s, who landed for the first time the following day. With the return or the Viceroy the tranquillity and joy of the inhabitants was restored. The new expedition is preparing with activity, but it is not thought it will sail before the end of September." At an early hour yesterday morning, the Right lion. IV. and Mrs. Huskisson left their residence, Somerset place, to proceed by Dover, Calais, &c. to Paris, where it it is expected the Right Hon. Gentleman will remain some time. A correspondent informs us that there is no truth in the statement we copied from a Sunday paper that the Arch bishop of Canterbury is indisposed at Dover. We learn, on the contrary, with great pleasure, that on Wednesday last his Grace drove from Dover to Margate, joined a pro cession through that town on foot, laid the first stone of Trinity Church, read the service in the presence of twenty thousand persons, returned to Dover to dinner, and on the following &Imlay preached at St. Mary's, in Dover, and administ.red the sacrament to a very large number of com municants. We are happy to add that his Grace appears to be in perfect health. The Greek atonic'', published at Misso!onghi, states that a French ship has landed at Modon twenty pieces of cannon for the use of the Turks, and that a French vearel is employed by the Cepitan Pacha between Camila and the Peloponnesus, to convey news of the movements of the Greek fleet. Letters from Corfu of the Sd of September state, that letters from Prevesa of the 26th of August announce that Missolonghi had received a reinforcement of 6,000 men by sea, and that 14 Greek ships were in the roads ; that a Greek squadron had attacked the Island of Candia with success, and carried a fortress. The letters from the Mo rea speak of numerous successes having been gained by the Greeks over Ibrahim Paths, whose father-in-law had been made prisoner, and sent to Napoli, where he died. The following spirited proceeding is related in the Malta Gazette of the 10th of August :—We understand that the Seringapatam, accompanied by the brig of war Alacrity, ' proceeded about the middle of May last to Rhodes, to de mand an explanation from the Bey for an outrage commit ted against our Consul there, by some of Ibrahim Paella's troops, who broke into his house and robbed him of eleven thousand piastres. The Bey admitted the fact—but re fused to make restitution, or even avow it in writing. Cap tain Sotheby, therefore, thought proper to embark the Consol and his family, telling the Bey, that if he did not comply within a given time, he would fire on the place— and in the mean time the frigate and brig were brought to an anchor close in. The time being elapsed, and the do cument not forthcoming, Captain Sotheby very coolly fired a shot into the Bey's own house, and sent a flag of truce to try its effect. The Bey had not anticipated his petting his threat into execution so promptly, and the acknowledgment was no longer withheld. The Consul's flag was conse quently again displayed, and the Alacrity was left at Rhodes to take tare that the Consul receives no ill.treatroent on account of this affair." BURMESE WA a.—lt appears by advices received by the Hero, arrived from Bombay, dated May 15, that Sir A. Campbell's division had made good a junction with 43e naral Cotton's brigade before Donebew, and that a general attack was intended to be made on the fort on the 3tl of April. On Monday night the streets of this city, and several sheps in the High-town, were lighted with gas for the first time; the effect of this brilliam light was highly pleasing and satisfactory, and- the streets wore crowded with respectable people, admiring its efulgence.—llerefoed Journal.

By letters from Batavia to the 10th of Aril, we learn that the very depressed state of our markets for Bataviaa produce had induc,:d-the traders there to suseiend ship-. ments to England, and to prefer remitting their funds to Bengal. The crop of coffee this season is represented as rather abundant, and the weather has heel) favourable for maturing the bean. This, together with the diminished demand, may naturally be expected to reduce prices. The Batavians complain that many of their customers, the nese, have become insolvent, or are in such a state as to render transactions exceedingly precarious. To the east ward of Java matters are a little better, the transactions being principally with natives, who were obliged to pay cash or give good security. Yet the demand for all kinds of cloth manufacture has decreased, and prices fallen ac cordingly. The natives arc now pcor, hardly capable of paying the ground rent, from the great decline in coffee, and the increased taxation of Government. When coffee was selling at twenty to twenty-five dollars the ground rent was not more than one-third of what it is at present, and thus the cultivators were enabled to purchase something in addition to their real necessaries, but now they are entirely ruined. If this ♦iew of things be correct, we cannct con ceive how the Colonial Government can hold out, with a general decline of trade, and the heavy expense they have been subjected to from insurrection. The receipts at the Customs in February were only 40,000 rupees, and it was calculated that the month of March would be little better. In former times the receipts were always from to 3 Lacs of rupees per mrnsem. At the (late of these letters there was not a vessel in Batavia loading for Europe, a thing which has never before liar pened. When we see all the other settlements, Singapore and Penang, daily advancing, and so fine an islaud as Ba tavia declining in commercial importance, it is plain there there must be something amiss in the conduct of the Ge• vernmeut. ATROCIOUS _if UftDER. The French Papers contain the following details of an atrocious murder lately committed at Chambery:— " A most shocking occurrence took place here on Sun (lay, the 23th ult., which has struck with terror the whole of the inhabitant:: of this city. Few crimes , thank Hea ven, present circumstanc e s so at roc i ous as those which we have just witneastel. Our imagination recoils at the bare recital of them. " For some time past M. B—, of this city, had lived upon very ill terms with his wife, without its ever having transpired that the latter bad given him cause. On Sun day last a very great altercation took place between them; and after a terrible quarrel, M. B-- left his house, and went to an apothecary's to buy some spirits. He returned home, and after remaining there a s ho rt time, he went to a house where his duty required him to be present. During his absence it was rumoured that his wife had just been assassinated ; an officer of police was immediately sent to M. B—'s house, where he found the body of the unfortunate woman most shockingly mutilated and de prived of life. Front some serioas contusion on the head it appeared that she had beets knocked down with great violence, but the most horrid circumstance that presented itself was, that tl:e assassin, with a view, no doubt, to re move the traces of his crimes, had actually boiled the head of the corpse in a sauspan, hoping by this means to do away the marks of the blows. The teeth and the hair were found its the sauspan, having been removol from the head by the action of the boiling water; the spirits svhicb bad been purchased at the apothecary's were Numd upon the table near the body, and a shtrt and waistcoat, which the husband of the poor victim had worn that morning, were also found with some greasy spots urn them, corresponding with the contents of the saucepan. Sieur being very strongly suspected, was arrested and taken:to prison. We wait with anxiety for the result of this dreadful affair. The father of the prisoner also died a violent death, and it is rumoured that his son if guilty of his murder. For ourselves, we will not prtjuden any body, and although very strong proofs at present ap pear against M. B—, yet we shall wait until the decision of the Judges is pronounced."

Cost nt sum oxs.—lVe understand that the Cabinet hove resolved to adopt efficient measures for the suppression of the numerous combinations of workmen. The first step, it is understood, will be a circular from the Howe Office to the Magistracy throughout the country, urging the no cessity of enforcing the existing laws to their utivest es tent. In the event of the evil continuing, Parliament will probably be convened earlier than usual, for the pur pose of adopting extraordinary measures.—lfdiaborh Observer. While a large and fashionable party in a town in the county (Shropshire) were some time since regaling their• selves with tea and coffee, a young lady (who was sitting next to a Dowager of immense property, but extretati! penurious habits) started fro•n her seat, exclaiming, in terror, that there was a viper under the chair ! On et• atnination, however, it proved to be an eel. The appeal' ance of an eel, however, was as extraordinary in a tea-roots as a viper. After considerable confusion, the stingy DOW alter above alluded to, exclaimed, an eel ! and pray I ch° is frightened at an eel? Pcorharmleas thing, it has crawled from my pocket, where I have plenty more. As I trt t coming up the street to tea, a woman passed me with eel , . and as they looked very nice, I thought 1 would buy lav a for supper ; as it was late, I did not like to return borne with them ; and, as I thought, if I left tbetn with the Er man, site would cheat me in the weight, I put theta tea my pocket; so pray give tne that poor thing again, tha t may put it to his companions." The parsimonious Dowse forthwith pocketed her slippery treasure.—Shrrwtbs 7 I Chronicle. ■ lIC cons' agre hem liar of t want path nem Thi first ti b.sf usual from t appeal On bills, asses a tieniat views, obligee ingly, second Poole thy he Tut first a l of hi immen whole pally S but up seven c forman aecomn cleft p saluted ft. , - """all
