Important intelligence respecting the contest in Pau, and the progress of the Colombian Government, was re ceived yesterday by the Lion schooner, from Carthagena. The accounts fruni Bogota reach to the 20th of July, and front Carthagena to the 211 of August. The following ex tracts arc from the Colombian Papers : " BOCOIA, Jet., 19. " A confirmation of the important news from Peru, has arrived in despatches from General Bolivar to the Vice- President. The following is the substance, and may be relied on fur its authenticity, coming from the Department of the Secretary at War. The next courier is expected to bring intelligence of the total annihilation of the Spanish troops. " The Liberator writes from Huanchas, war Lima (date about the middle of May) that the anny of the Viceroy Olaneta, had gone over to himself, and the troops of the Republic, and that his Excellency contemplated taking active measures to exterminate the remainder of the royalist forces during the rest of the month. The Viceroy, Ola neta, after declaring himself for the Independents, had an engagement with General Caratala, a Spaniard, and made him prisoner. All this has been written by the Liberator himself to the Vice-President." The following is another account, giving a few more par ticulars which I have obtained from an official person : " By letters from General Bolivar, dated 12th May, we understand that the news respecting Olaneta is confirmed ; it appears that there has always existed great jealousy be tween General La Serna and Olaneta. the latter having been much more lib;val in his ideas. They had a dispute respecting the Constitution, the result of which was, 01.- neta, who was then Viceroy, retired with his division to the south, defeated (' arstala , and made hint e risoner. La Serna had ordered General Valdez to join bun, by which the city of Lima would be :el entirely defenceless, and open to the President Bolivar, who was marching towards it when he wrote the despatches. It was supposed Olaneta would not be able to mist La Serna and Valdez when united, and consequently would have to retire; but the enemy would have Bolivar in their rear with mOOO men. That Chief says, I promise to end the war in Peru in the month of May, with the assistance of 4,000 more troops'— which have long ere this joined hint from Guayaquil and Panama. " I mention, Zi in my last, that a law was before the House of Representatives, for establishing a sinking fund, for the payment of the interest and gradual extinction of the national &ht. This law has now passed both Houses. The branches of revenue set apart for this purpose will produce, on a moderate computation, an annual rent of four million dollars. " Considerable expectations are raised in the minds of the inhabitants of Bogota by the departure of one of the British Commissioners, who, it is supposed, will be the medium of such information to our Government as will lead to the speedy, and anxiously-liniked-for, recognition Colonel Campbell has had so favourable an opportunity of acquainting himself with the existing Institutions, of per sonally witnessing the steady march of the Government, the solidity of the laws by which the country is governed, the respect in which they are held, and the obedience paid to local authorities—in a word, the existence of the Colombian Constitntion—that little doubt can be enter tain:xi, that from the petiod of his arrival in England will be dated the most interesting epoch in South American histary. " On the 6th instant Colonel Campbell left the city on his return to England, by the way of Cartbagena, and, I may truly say, there is not one individual, either native or foreign, with whom he was acquainted that does not sincerely regret his departure. Never did a person more justly deserve an honourable mention, for the urbanity of his manners, and very gentleman-like behaviour; nor do I think our Government could have made a better choice for the object of their inquiries. The respect so justly due to his public and private character was evinced by the prin cipal inhabitants on his departure. The Vice-President appointed an Aid-dc-Camp to accompany him to Cartha gena, and instructions were sent forward to the principal places through which he might pass, to prepare an honour able reception, and facilitate his journey. On leaving. the town the Minister for Foreign Affain, the Chief Com missioner and Consul-General, together with a large retinue of the most respectable inhabitants, Natives and English, accompanied him for some miles on horseback." " CAII•CAll, Arc ! 11. " Great preparations arc making by General Nes to despatch the expedition from this quarter for Chagres, and ultimately to Peru. Its nominal amount is 3,000 men, but I believe it will hardly exceed 2,200. Trade has been titfte suspended here and at La Guayra, in consequence of an attempt of the Intendant to enforce the law by which forigners are compelled to consign their goods to a Colom bian citizen. It is a most ill-judged law, and cannot stand. The Engßali Consul, Mr. Tupper, has forwarded refire s: nations to the Consul-General at Bogota on the subject, The number of foreigners is constantly increasing here and at La Guayra. I mentioned to you, some time since, the arrival of forty settlers from Philadelphia in one ship. There is one thing very much wanted here and at La Guayra, and that is a good medical man. A respectable English surgeon, of steady habits, would find great cncou ragesnent heic. A ptivatc letter dated Bogota, July 19, states, that the President Bolivar, esolved to set an example of devotion to the national cause, anti sent into Congress an offer to surrender up to the use of the Republic the income of 30,000 dollars, which had been assigned to hint by an Act of Congress. The following is the extract of a letter from Carthagena, dated August I :—" We are harpy in having now the pleasure of informing you of the passage, through the Lower House, of a law fur allowing foreigners to transact their own business through the Custom-house, and every other department of this Government. Little doubt is en tertained of the same being approved by the Senate. The arrival of money from England has reduced the Spanish doubloon to IGi dollars, and the Colombian to 16 dollars; being a fall of wads on each." The claims upon the house in Bernera-street are said to amount to about 500,Ctout and the assets to about 400,000!. The new building for St. Paul's School, the walls and elevation of whiz!' are nearly completed, is a very hand some structure, and will be a considerable :Wiliam to the public buildings of the City. GREENOCK,SEPT. 22.—Saturday, the Right Honourable Thomas Wallace, and the other Co.i:lith:siorwrs of Revenue Inquiry. arrived here from Glasgow, after stoppin . ; some tine at Port-Glasgow. During the afternoon they visited the Customhouse, and went round the different quays; and expressed themselves highly pleased with the appear ance of the port, and the facilities which it seemed to Laird to commerce of every kind. They kit the town next day, a more protracted stay being considered unnecmary, front the circumstance of their having uk.t and conferred with a d, potation from the trade of this place, on Thu rslay last, at Glasgow. The following infamous act of cruelty and oppression we insert on the authority of a respectable correspondent ; but we hope, for the honour of humanity, it is untrue: — A few days sinc-:, a fellow, with whose Hattie we are unacquainted, who it appears obtains his livelihood by prowling abort and pouncing on the unwary, met the well known Simon Sefoalon, then in his fioth year, who, for these ;10 years pact, tamit have been familiar to ()archness of Bath, by the little box of trinkets he constantly carried under his atm. This wretch, it appears, demanded his licence, which the poa fellow, from his extreme po verty, had been unable to procure. lie then, with the most unfeeling brutality, dragged the poor old man up to the Guildhall, where lie was, for tha first thole in his life, lecked up as a criminal. On being released. he ac tually pawned all his little stock of m(rehandne, not ex ceeding in value '25 shillings, to purchase a license. This sudden wreck of his little property, together with the dis graceful treatment which occasioned it, so preyed upon his naiad, althou3h in the regultir enjoyment of good health, it front that time began rapidly to decline, he soon took !o his bed, and atavism! the above melalcholy circumstance ; en?) , one week !—Bulls Juittnal. THE BRITISH PRESS. MR. CANNING'S VIM7' TO IRELAND. From the Dublin Frrmaer ✓ournal, of Friday.] This fortunate and distinguished statesman made ar rangements to sail for Holyhead this morning, in Captain Skimmer's steam-packet. IVe were informed, however, at a late hour last night, that he has postponed his departure until to-morrow. He called yesterday at the Mansion house, attended by his myna suite, and proceeded from thence to the Foundling Hospital, every part of which establishment he minutely inspected. He was present whtli the children, twelve hundred in number, went to dinner in the great hall, and seemed to take great interest in the scene. When he was informed that there were six thousand children at nurse abroad, all provided for by the Ilospital, lie appeared a good deal surprised at their num ber, but expressed much satisfaction at whit he had wit nnsed. From the Foundling Hospital, Mr. Canning went to the Richmond Penitentiary, which he also inspected; and from thence proceeded to the Post Office, for the pur pose of seeing the persons of that establishment at work, which he had not been enabled to do when he visited it on Saturday. After a particular examination of the offices, he partook of an elegant cbjettote at tile residence of Sir Edward Lees ; and having taken leave of the Lord Major, returned to the Vier-regal Lodge, where a select party were assembled to meet him at the table of the Lord Lieutenant. GRAND Revrtw.—Wednesilay morning, at half-past ten o'clock, the troops in Dublin garrison, were reviewed before the Right Hon. George Canning, under the orders of Sir Colquhoun Grant. The troops consisted of the Royal Artillery, the 4th, or Royal Irish Dragoons, the 9th Lancers, the 3tl Guards, the 75th Highlanders, and the Rifle Corps. They went throng the whole of the elegant new movements in echellon, throwing out videttes, skir mishing, charging, retreating, forming into solid squares, aid receiving on the human ehrealsz de friar the charges of cavalry. The scene was amazingly brilliant and imposing, and was much heightened by the crenity of the weather. Shortly after twelve o'clock the Royal Artillery ; and the Regiments of Infantry defiled from the review ground, marching through the picturesque unierwood which inter venes between it and the " lots, mile-stone," i. e. the Wel lington Testimonial, and went through the rranceuvrcr of a column retreating from the field, keeping up a running fight. General Giant then put the 4th Dragoons and the 9th Lancers through several cavalry movements with great effl.ct ; their horses, having been peculiarly well trained, appeared to answer the bridle with much case, and the whole passed off much to the satisfaction and pleasure of Mr. Canning, who, mounted on a bay charger, and accom panied by Lord Howard de Walden, and Sir Colin Camp.. bell, expressed peculiar satisfaction at the military spec tacle. At a quarter after one, the review terminated, and Mr. Canning returned to the Vice-regal Lodge. A number of individuals of fashion were on the ground ; one party, a family one, attracted much interest and observation—the Right Hon. Henry tioulbutn's ; the Right lion. Secretary drove Mrs.Gaulburn end his family, while being seated on an Irish jaunting car, of simple but elegant construction, and without any attendants. [From the Freeman's Journal of Saturday.j His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, Mr. Canning, and several persons of distinction, honoured the Patriotic Re presentative of the county of Dublin, Colonel Talbot, with a visit yesterday, at Ma!abide Castle, and partook of an elegant entertainment. It is understood that the Noble Marquis and his Right Honourable Friend, will confer a similar favour on the Duke of Leinster, at his scat at Car ton, this day, and that Mr. Canning will certainly sail for England, from Howth, to-morrow morning. Lord Howard De Walden. who has accompanied Mr. Canning to this country as his Private Secretary. is ma ternally descended from the Noble House of Suffolk, and in virtue of that descent, holds his rank and title in the British Peerage. Lord Thomas Howard, of the family of Norfolk, was summoned to Parliament in the year 1597, in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth, as Lord Howard of IValden. Mr. Charles Augustus Ellis, the present Lord, petitioned his Majesty in February, 1806, praying his re cognition of his right as Lord Howard of Walden, which being referred to the House of Lords in the usual way, and evidence being heard on it, in January and February. 1807, it was decided that he had made out his claim. II is Lordship was born on the sth of July, 1799. MARQUIS OF HASTINGS. As the following official report of the proceedings of tLe Court of Directors of the lion. East India Company, is much shorter than any other that we are at present in pos session of, and skews by what a small majority the motion for granting a pension to the Marquis of Hastings was lost in that Court, we think it may not be unacceptable to many of our readers ; for which reason we give it entire:— At a Court of Directors, held on Wednesday, the 3d September, 1823, Minutes of the Secret Courts of the 30th July last, and 13th and 20th ult. were read, and ordered to be recorded on the public Minutes, the same being as follows, viz.:— At a Secret Court of Directors, held on Wednesday, the 30th July, 18:13—A Member of the Court gave notice, that on Wednesday, the 13th August next, it is his inten tion to call the Court's attention to the services rendered by dr! Marquis of /lasting* in the Gahm of Governer- G. niral of India. At a Secret Court of Directors, held on Wednesday, the 13th August, I S23—A Member of the Court, m refer ence to the notice which he gave on Wednesday, the 30th ult., postponed to some future day the fulfilment of his in tention of calling the Cuttres attention to the services ren dered by the Marquis of Ilastings, in the office of G overnor- Certeral of India. At a Secret Court of Directors, held on Wednesday, the 80th August, Na-A Member of the Court, ad verting to the notice he gave on the 30th ultimo, stated, that he should, on IVednesday, the 3d September, fulfil his intention of calling the Court's attention to the services rendered by the Marquis of Misting% in the Office of Governor-General of India. A Member of the Court, adverting to the notice given by him on the 20th ultimo, then propuscd th:: following " That this Court, taking into consideration the zeal, ability, and disinterestedness, manifested by the Must Noble the Marquis of partings in the conduct of the East India Cotnpany s affairs, during the whole of the period fur which he has presided over the British interests in India, are of opinion, that as a mark of the high sense entertained by the Court of his Lordship's merits and services, an annuity of 3,000/. to issue out of the terri torial revenues of India, for the tam of twenty years, Cr for the duration of the Company's charter, to commence front the day of his departure from India, be granted to trustees, for the benefit of the Marquis of Hastings and his family, to be applied and paid in such wanner, and for such uses, as the Court may determine." IVbereupon a long debate ensu►ml; in the ernrse of which it was tnovid, •"lhat this Court do now adjourn." And the question thereon being put by the ballot, and the numbers appearing to be equal, The Chairman declared the question to be lost, under the provisions of the Act of the .53a Geo. 111. cap. sec. 77. The question on the original motion being also put bv the ballot, and the numbers thereon appearing to be equal, The Chairman declared the same to be lost, wake the provisions of the Act above:mentioned: At a Court of Directors, held on Wednesday, the 17th sepe em b ees 1823, a Member of the Court gave notice, " That on the bth of October he slia:l bring before the Court a motion to take into consideration the services of the Marquis of Hastings."

ORANGRJfEN oh' MELIND. IFROK TUE D17111. - IW EVEVINO rosT.I We hinted, on Saturday, that there was a schism in the gang. We know the mime-muse of the proceedings quite as intimately as we know what passes in the Catholic As sociation. We confess, as the bulletins reached us, we were amused beyond measure at the fire and fury of the leaders, as well as the activity and confusion so manifest among the partisans. The great point, certainly, was this, whether Alderman King, his Majesty's Stationer, or Capt. Verner, should be mule Deputy Grand Master. The Alder man was opposed on the ground that he was a placentan— that his principal dependence was altogether on the Castle, and that he would be obliged to modify his principles by the policy of his Blasters. To this his friend replied, that his civism was already proved in the worst of times—that when he was Lord Mayor in 1812, he got up the Anti- Catholic Petition, (so famous for the number of ha surrep titious signatures)—that he asserted the privileges of the city, by presenting the Petition in person at the bar of the House, in the gold chain and costume of his Office, and much more to this effect. It was promptly atiswered, that, on this occasion, Alderman King was only doing the busi ness of the Government—that he was only acting upon the principles of the Duke of Richmond and Lord Sidmoutli— and that he was, on the very occasion referred to, amply re wards.' by an extension of his patent to sell stationery to all the public offices, an extension which amounted at least to 5,000 i. a year. His services during the King's visit were then set forth; but it was loudly answered, that during that period lie hail turned his coat, for which he obtained a baronetcy from the King. This, it was contended, was a proof of his time-serving disposition. In short, he was paid, either in honour or profit, for his patriotism hitherto. fhe grand stand, however, was made on his courageous re fusal to reveal the Orange principles at the bar of the House of Commons. It was sneeringly answered, that no one accused him of a design to commit perjury, and that there was not an Orangeman in the room who would not act in the same way. His triumph in Enniskillen was then talked of; but this, his opponents said, was only canvass ing popularity, with a view to the present election. He was a placctnan, in fact. They could not trust to place men. They did not wish that the Orange system should be jobbed off to suit the views of placemen. How did they know that he would not boast of his influence in another place, over the Orangemen of Ireland, with a design to promote his own purposes. They hail a high respect, so they had, for Colonel Blacker; but be it remembered that Colonel Blacker was an advocate for undressing the statue, and bad preached, besides, against processions. They did not blame Colonel Blacker; but he was Deputy Vice- Treasurer under Lord Wellesley, and they should take care how again they would select a Lanier from the Castle. These and other arguments prevailed. Neither the in fluence of the gallant Colonel, nor the influence of Alder man King prevailed. He lost his election, and Mr. Verner ass formally invested with the insignia of tithes. But the books—the books of the Society—% here are these? They ought to be, of cows:, in possession of the Grand Lodge. They ought, perhaps—Gut they are sot. The defeated party keep possession of the Journals. They will not give them up. They contend that they are their property • and, tell it not, in the streets of Ascalon, Al derman king and the Malecontenta are menaced with ex pulsion! 0, ye Gods and little fishes! But it is useless to exclaim. Another Grand Lodge is talked of, and this mischievous and impudent confederacy are playing their fantastic tecks under the very eyes of the Viceroy ant the presence of the Premier. We have already stated that Lords Diayney, Enniskillen, and Lorton, have declined the ho nours intended them. We hive now to add the name of Lord Cool town to the list of Dissentients; we have also to state that Master Ellis (save the mark !) and Master Ball have declined. It is said, querely enough, that the list published of the Grand Committee was not the au thentic one. The fool !—Du not the letters of Peers, which we have published, prove the reverse? Are not these letters answers to the communication of the Acting Secretary ? MR. HENRY COOPER. This Gentleman, whose death we announced yesterday, was the son of a provincial counsel of eminence at Norwich. He went to sea with his distinguished countryman Lord Ndson, and was, when a ho y, present at the battle of the Nile; but he early quitted the naval profession for that of the law, though lie retained much of the frankness and gaiety of manlier which distinguish seamen, and de.: acti vity and strength of frame which a seaman's habits create. Ile was afterwards Attorney-General of the Bermudas, at the time when one of the Cockburns was Governor; and he retained to the last the friendship and esteem of many of the Ikroludians. A case which came into the Admiralty Court at Bermudas, and which he afterwards argued before the Council here, was one of the opportunities in which be first distinguished liiins2lf. Oa the appointment of the late MT. S.rgcant Blosset to the Chief Justicesbip of Ben gal, Mr. Cooper, who was thou rapidly rising on his circuit (the Norfolk), became one of the leaders, and at the two last assizes was in almcst every cause. lie possessed great activity and versatility of mind. No one, according to the testimony of those who saw most of him, combined with a fluent an 1 powerful eloquence,* better judgment and nicer ski!: in conducting a cause. But his best and highest fo rensic quality was his great moral and professional courage, his unshaken attachment to what he considered to be a good cause. No consideration ever warped him from his duty. Ile was proof not merely against those speculations on the best probable means of personal advancement, which many men reject as well as he did, but against that desire of standing well with the Judge, of getting the ear of the Court, of obtaining the sympathy of men of professional standing, which it requires much more finnness to resist. There was no one on whom a defendant, exposed to the enmity of 1 1 Government or Judges, or to any prejudices, could rely with greater certainty that h e wo uld nut be compromised or betrayed by his advocate. In a word, there was no man less of a sycophant. He had a conlidence that he could make himself a name by his own merits, and he would have made it " Hut the fair guerdon when we hope to find, Conies the blind Fury, with the abhorred shears, And slits the thin-spun life." Mr. Cooper was, at the time of his death, eight or nine and-thirty, and though occasionally affected with those bilious attacks which few men of great application are free from, his general strength and vigour of constitution made his death as uneapectc*l as it has been afflicting to his iends. Ile had been about twelve years at the bar, and was a member of Lincoln's Inn. _ _ Mr. Cooper had been some time employed in procuring materials for a life of Lord Erskine, with whom he was particularly intimate, which he had undertaken to write. We suspect lie hail not made much progress in the work, when death terminated all his labours. latsn ELECTIONECRING.—The Hon.

MAXIMS OF SIR MORGAN 0 DOME R r, MAIM IVe moderns are perhaps inferior to ocr snentors in no thing more than in our epitaphs. The rules, nev-rthellna, for making a good epitaph are exe_rdingly si:uple. Yea should study a concise, brief, and pi.,uant diction. YOU should state distinctly the most remarkable points i.t &Ls character and history of the defunct, avoiding, of course, the error into which Pope so often fell, of omitting the name of the individual in your verses, and leaving it to Le tagged to the tail or beginning of the piece, with a separate and prosaic "herjueet." Thirdly, tiwac should be, if pos sible, some impror.:riert of the subject, some instal sy religious or patriotic maxim, which the passenger earriao with Min, and forgets not. I venture to present, as a happy specimen, the following, which is takeu from a tomb-:tone in Winchester church-yard, and which tradititto ascribes to a late venerable prelate of that see, Di. Hoadlev •' Private John Thorns lies buried here, Who died of drinking cold soul! beer:— to flood Christian ! drink no beer at all, Or, if yon will drink beer, don't drink it small." Nothing can exceed the nervous pith and fine tone of this, both in the narrative and the didactic ports. It is really a gem, and confers honour on the Bishop—on whom, by the way, a clever enough little epitaph was written shortly after his death by a brother Whig and D.D. Bishop Iloadley was, in this doctor's opinion, a heretical scribe, and his monument encroached too much on one of the great pillars of the cathedral. . . -w Here lying Hoodlcy lies, whose book Was feebler than his bier. Alive, the Church he fain had shook, But undemines it here." Of late they have got into a trick of serving op the routed pig without his usual concomitants. I hate the in— novating spirit of this age ; it is my aversion, and w:11 undo the country. Always let him appear erect on hii (opt legs, with a lemon in his tnouth, a 'pig of parsley in his ear. his trotters bedded cn a lair of sage. One likes to ' e a Ig appear just as he used to do upon the board of a Swift, a Pope, an Arbuthnot. Take away the customs of a people, and their identity is destroyed. Claret should always be decanted. I find it necessary to observe this, because the vile Frenchified fashion of 'hos ing the black bottles about is fast coming into vogue in certain quarters. These outlandi s h f e ll ows d r i n k their wine out of the black bottle for two reasons—first, that they can't afibrd crystal, and, secondly, because sending al, their best wine over to us, they of course are in the habit of consutnieg weak secondary trash among them selves, which will not keep, and has therefore no time fur depositing grounds. But why should we imitate such crea tures as these ? The next thing, I suppose, will be Li have ruffles without a shirt, anti to masticate frog's blubber. No good can come of lowering our good old national pride, antipathies, and principles- in general. There are two kinds of drinking which I disapprove of —I mean dram-drinking and port-drinking. I talk of the drinking of these things in great quantities, and habitually ; for, as to taking a few drams and a few giants of por: every day, that is no more than I hare been in the custom of doing for many years back. I have many reasons that I could render fur the disgust that is in me, but I shall be contented with one. These potables taken in this way, fa tally injure a man's personal appearance. The drinker of drams becomes either a pale, shivering, Llue-and-yellow looking, lank-chopped, miserable, skinny animal, or Lis eyes and checks are stained with a dry, fiery, dusky red, thin which few things can be more disgusting to env woman of real sensibility and true feminine delicacy of character. The port-drinkers, on the other hand. get blowsy about the chops, have trumpets of' noses, 'covered with carbunc'cs, and acquire a muddy look about the eyes. Vide the Book of the Church, passim. For these reasona do not, on any account, drink port or drama, and, per conver.rum, drink as much good claret, goad punch, or good beer, as you can get hold of, for these liquors make a man all Adonis. Of the three, claret conveys perhaps the most delicate tinge to the countenance : nothing gives the air of a gentleman so completely, as tbat elersitt las situde about the muscles of the face, which, accompanied with a gentle rubicundity, marks the man whose Wood is in a great proportion rim-de-Bosrdcaua. There is a pecu liar delicacy of expression about the mouth alma, which nothing but the habit of tasting exquisite claret, and con templating works of the most refined genius, can ever be stow. Punch, however, is not without its own peculiar merits. It' you want to see a fine, commanding, heroic looking race of melt, go into the Tontine Culler-room of Glasgow, and b..thold the effects of my friend Mr. Thomas Hamilton's rum, and the delicious water of the Ara* fountain so celebrated in song ' • or just stop fora minute at the foot of Millar-atreet, ner d see what you shall see. Beer, though last, is not least in its beautifying powers. A beer drinker's cheek is like some of the finest species of apples, . " the side that's next the sun." Such a check carries one back into the golden age; re minding us of Eve, Helen, Atalanta, and I know not what more. Upon the whole, I should. if called upon t o g i ve a decided opinion as to these matters in the present state of my information and feelings, say as follows :—Give me the cheek of a beer-bather, the calf of a punch-libber, and the mouth of a claret-biblxr, which last indeed I already have. N.B. Butlers sho aid be allowed a good deal of port, for it makes them swell out immensely, and gives them noses a-ht-Bardolph ; anal the symptoms of good eating and drinking should be set forth a little in earicatuta upon the outward man of such folk, just as we wish inferior servants to wear crimson breeches, pea-green coats, and other extravaganzas upon finery. As for dram-drinking I think nobody ought to indulge in it, except a man under sentence of death, who wishes to make the very most of his time, and who knows that, let him live never so quietly, his complexion will inevitably be quite spat in the course of the week. A gallon of good stout brandy is a treasure to a matt in this situation ; though, it' I were in his place, I rather think I should still stick to my three bottles of claret anal dozen sears per dims; for I should be afraid of the other system's effects upon any nervous system. In helping a lady to wine, always fill the glass to the very brim; for custom prevents them from taking many glasses at a time: and I have seen croselooks when the rule has keen neglected by young and inexperi.:Lecd dandies. The King, if Sir Thomas Lawrence's last and best pic ture of him may be believed, wears, when dressed for dinner, • very short blue surtout, trimmed with a little fur, and embroidered in black silk upon the breast, and all about the button boles, B:c.—black breeches and necking", and a black stock. I wish to call general attention to this, in the hopes of seeing his Majesty's example speedily and extensively adopted. The modern cod is the part of ma usual dress, which has always given most disgust to the eye of people of taste ; and I am, therefore, exceedingly happy to think, that there is uow a probability of its being entirely exploded. The white neckcloth is another abomi nation, and it also must be dismissed. A blue surtout, and blue trowsers, richly embroidered down the seams, form the handureest dress which any man eau wear within the limits of European costume. The Havannah segar is unquestionably at the bead. You know it by the peculiar beauty of the firm, brown, smooth, delicately-textured, and soft leaf, and, if you have anything of a nose, you can never he deceived as to its odour, for it is a perfect honed. The Chinese cheroots are the next in order ; but the devil of it is, that one can seldom get them, and then they are almost always dry beyond it demption. The bat Chinese cheroots have a delicate greyish tinge; and, if they arc not complete sticks, put them into au air-tight lessel, with a few slices of a pond juicy melon, and in the course of a few hours they will extract sonic humidity from their neighbours. Some people use a sliced apple, others a carrot, either of which may do when a melon is nut to be had, but that is the rea3 artiee, when attainable. As to all the plans of mo'steoing *agars by means of tea-leaves, rum-grog, &c. they a s, utterly absurd, and no true smoker ever thinks of there. Manilla segars occupy the third station in my esfren. • their enormous s:ze renders them inconvenient.
