COROYATION 'OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA• We have received from an individual, who witnessed the whole ceremony of the Imperial Coronation at Moscow, she following extremely interesting details. The elevation of Count Lieven, the Russian Ambassador at this Court, to the dignity of a Prince, was a well-merited mark of royal favour; and we are nut surprised to learn that the Imperial Rescript, conferring the Order of St. Andrew on him, was couched in terms most flattering to his Excel lency, as well as to the relations subsisting between the two countries. MOSCOW, SEPT. 4. The Coronation of the Emperor took place yesterday. The ceremony. which was performed in the Church of the Assumption in the Kremlin, was conducted with the greatest regularity, and talent . parts of it were extremely impressive. The Grand Duke Constantine (who had arrived on the Saturday preceding) acted throughout as First Assistant to the Emperor. On a raised platform, in the centre of the Church, were three thrones, one of which was placed at some distance from the other two, and was occupied b the Empress Mother, who arrived first. Tilt. e Emperor and Empress came, about eight o'clock in the morning, in a procession composed of the Geneialx of the Army, the representatives of the nobility from the different Governments, and the merchants of Moscow. The Grand Duke Michael &misted in putting on the Emperor's robes, which was the commencement of the ceremony. The Grand Duke Constantine held the Emperor's sword whilst the Emperor took the Sserament. When the Emperor had placed the Crown upon his head, he eirdi aced the Empress Mother and the Grand Duke Constantine in the most affectionate manner. The Empress wore a small Crown after the Emperor had for a moment placed his on het head. The ceremony was over by half-pot eleven o'clock. At two o'clock the great banqueting-room was thrown open, where a table with three elvers was prepared, under a canopy, for the Emperor and the two Empreleiee. A long table was occupied by the Ladies of ! the Court. The Grand Dukes Constantine and Michael remained startling. The Grand Duchess Helena, the Emperor's three eldest children, and the Prince of Prussia , viewed the banquet front a balcony in the upper part of the room. The Clergy alone partook of a repast during the Imperial In the evening therewas a splendid illumination of the Kremlin, hich, owing to the fineness of the weather, was seen to the greatest advantage. On this occasion, several distinguished Individuals have re ceived marks of the Imperial favour. Generals Wittgenstein and Sackett have been made Field-Mar shals. Prince Voussoupoff arid Kourakin have received a correspond ing rank in the civil service. Prince Volkonsky has been named Minister of the Cabinet of the Household. Countess Lieven. the mother of the Ambassador to the Court of Ergland, is made Princes=; a corresponding title i. to be borne by the Ambassador, her son, who hay likewise received the Grand Cross ut the Order of St. Andre. the Blue Hiband of Russia. The Impe rial Rescript, conferring this Order upon the Ambassador, is said to be touched in terms most flattering to his Excellency, as Well as to the relations subsisting between the tao countries. The Order of St. Andrew has likewise bi:en bestowed on the Court de la Ferronayc, the French Ambassador ; and the Order of St. Alexander has been given to General Schisber, the Prussian Minister; and Count Blume, the Envoy from Denmark. RUSSIA .9ND PERSIA. !EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LET T ER.! SULTANIA, JULY 23. By the fest Tartar I gave yiu an account of Prince 31eruikurs mission to the date of his departure fur :Sultan ie. You will be as tonished to hear that the fair prospects we then had of a final arrangement between this Court and Russia are now nearly at an end, and there is every probability of immediate hostilities ; but, threatening ss the appearances are. so perfectly unprepared is this Court for a contest of such magnitude, as well us the natural pacific disposition of the King, I cannot believe there will be war, till I actually hear of an action between their troops. Abbas Mirza, with his usual deceit and want of stability of cha racter, made all at Tabricz suppose lie was, In reality, desirous of peace; but, obliged to asume a contrary appearance since his arri val here, lie has not only been the most active instigator of war, bat the immediate cause of the present impolitic arid premature proceedings!. Miser Khan and ,led 3laboired, the 3lushtakeid of Kubela, have been the principal cause of this change. .They represented to him how much he would gain in the opinion of all 111allomeelana if he became the champion of their religion, and the 100 of chataater he must sustain by refusing to aid his ble thren of Kara Bang Shekey and Shirwan, now groaning under an is ntlel yoke, which they were unable longer to bear. Vie enthu siasm of the people had been much excited by suppliants and let ters from those provinces complaining of the daily outragoe they suffered from the Russians, and the • Persiun army had only to appear, when a general insurrection would take place. Abbas Mitre is accused of having, in the first instance, excited this spirit, which neither he nor his futher is now able to control. The King was and is most anxious to maintain peace; but having pledged himself either to obtain the restitution of Goukelia or de clare war, he is afraid to re.ract. A proposal was made to Prince Neozikolf, that the land in question should remain unoccupied till such time as a reference was made to the Emperor, during which peried he might visit the frontier, and report Maisel( on die points is dispute. To this he replied, his instructions had been ftme.ded ten the proposals made by Abbas 11irze, regarding an exchange tor some lands of greater value in Kara Bang, Mogan, and Talish ; but since the King did not confirm this proceeding, he was willing to await a reference, but could nut evacuate a place they had occupied for twelve years by permission, and which, from the constant intrigues of the Sordid of Erivan, would compromise the safety of twelve thousand families of their Jlahoniedan sub *jeets. Ile afterwards agreed that the Persians should also have a detachment in the same place, and that the stay of the Hessians during the next two months should not be considered to give them any additional claim to its possession. This was not accepted, and Abbas 31:raa scut for Mr. Amburger, the Russian Charge d'Af faires, of whom he took leave, and stated his intention of proceed ing to the frontier and expelling the Russinas from his don:biome ; at the same time troops have been sent in differ:id directions, with the ostensible object of invading the Russian territories. They ma) certainly do much mischief by a sudden irruption into the coun try while the Ambassador is still here, and the Russians ignorant of the existence of war. but its ultimate result cannot be doubt ful. The Russians rat the present moment have at least 40,000 regular troops in Georgia, half of whom are disposable, and these can be augmented at pleasure. General Yerinoluff is consi dered the beet officer in the Russian army, but hes certainly done less during his Government titan was to have been expected from his great character. As a Governor of Georgia, he has much im p:need the country, but by a number of harassing regulations has rendered the people dissatisfied with the Russian Government, to which they were once much attached. The Chiefs of the Mahn medan tribes and provinces have, under one pretext or oilier, been eapelled or sent to Russia. But I can say, from having travelled ttnrough every part of those countries, the people are richer and hers oppressed than in any part of Persia. The dismtisiaction au much esaggerated by the Persians is confined to the Chiefs : the inferior Onset, though they complain of the conduct of the inferior Rus s ian asserts, are not diasficeeed to the Government, except in Kies Haag, where the bad conduct of the Officer commanding, l and the licence he allows the troops. have hig hl y casimented al classes. We understated best (but I will not amines for the truth) . that % Russian Major and 2, party of soldiers have been cut to pieces in bhirwan, he consequence of We fernier having taken some Ma hiornedan women by force. It is more titan probable the )reel pitate foil of Abbas Mina will bring things to a crisis, when it might be avoided. One good will arise from it, by l e aving the British Government perfedly tree in the conduct they may think proper to pursue.. The forcible occupa tion of Ouuktia is en aggrecayon ua . the part at Russia. Hostilities will have been ointment - eel b Penn ; besides Prince 31cuiltoff 'a couriers have been detained at lire Pl. mild numerous kiwi from Abbas Miran , excit in g the i nhabitants o f die Maliumedan pro ' 'laces to revolt, have been intercepted. What good result can be 'enacted ,runt 0 war conducted by so weak a character as the Prince Royal, or any of the chiefs elm now command fhe Persian troops ? Wall the exception of the nee regiment of guards, none of the Azmfbeject troops have even been assembled since 1112:2 ; at the present moment they are deficient in every necessary equipment, • and he has long ceased to have any European officer in his service. The present Russian Ambassailer has had the goad fortune or coeduct, while nut granting a single point, to gain the personal goad-will of every individual with ohom he has been engaged, and has down temper beyond human nature. A few days ego the Ham Malvin entered his tent, pretending great fatigue, and say. • log he could Nally get through the troops who were merching to the froutica ; and in a few days he hoped to tell him that Kara Bang was in the possession of Persia. Ile merely milled. and answered, he was happy to find We had the consideration to leave them in Teillis during the winter. His presents have been few, and dl small value. Pray excuse this. As usual, I have delayed writ ing till die packet is Jolting. AU hopes of pesos are now at an end. The Envoy left camp this morning. A large Persian forte lies entered tire Itusaian territory to aid the insurgents of Tulish. One hundred Russians have been kilted in this place; the aggression clearly on tide side of Persia. Ali Yar Khan, the Aasadou Beulah, is head of the war faction, aapported by Abbas Mires. Before I had finished this letter, the King had requested speak to Prince Menzikoll. and beg him to point out some meanie of avoiding war, without samilicieg his character. A speech made a Ktrabar.g Choush made great noise in camp. Ile addressed the King (4i.ishey), " Man, do you call yourself the King of the Mallotnrdans, anti idly pain your time in the Haram, when 31us stamens are daily %bused by Infidels? I wan obliged to look on vitae live Russian soldiers violated my cite in Karabaug. I spit at lent beard." From a private letter we learn that " the stocks of the Netherland,, at the exchange of Amsterdam, last ‘Vetl t4Adiay, wire somewhat lower, which is attributed to the antel:iplence received there, by couriers from Frankfurt, that the negotiations at Akermann were broken off. An article in the Allgt 'urine Zeitbng of the 17th, received here this trerni•rg, contirms, in wane degret, this news:. FRENCH PAPERS. [From the Eloik of Monday.] CONSTANTINOPLE. AVG. 25. A letter from Alexandria, dated July 19. announces. that eight or nine thoonand men. :1114 a convoy of provisions, will sail in the beginning of August, for the 111orea. A report in this moment spread that hostilities have broken out between the Persians and the Russians, on account of a frontier dis trict, which both parties claim. SNYINA. Atm. 18. An ordinance of the Consul-General of France, dated the Ilth of this month, has suppressed No. 244 of the Oriental Spectator, and auspentled that Journal till it should be confided to another E ditor. The principal piste of this ordinance say, that one of the titles of which his Most Christian 111,1jetity is the most proud Is that of Pro tector of the Christian Religion in the Levant; that in appointing a Consul-General in Smyrna, the King has specially charged him to protect. to defend, and cause to be respected in hts name, the reli gion which his Alajesty professes, as well as the greater number of his subjects • that publicly to attack in a perio dic a l j ournal p oints of belief, w hich serve as the basis of this religion, is oppnaing this part of the mission, and acting against the authority of the King. ' (We have received this No. 244; there is a blank in it which was probably filled by the article complained of.) The French subjects met on the Itth, in the house of the Consul- General. to determine on the employment of 120,000 franca, which the French Government grants for building an hospital. The ground has been purchased, and the work will be commenced lin mediatelv. The English met on the same day at the Cassino of Smyrna, to I ask Captain Hamilton, by virtue of the ordinances of the King of England, if the Itritah naval force will not protect them against the daring enterprises which are feared from Lord Cochrane? The Rhinoceros, a large transport, which brought 250,00ra. tions to the French squadron, being, on the ' 4th of July, near Cape I St. Angelo, was surrounded by eight mimics. but after three can !non shot, and a brisk tire of musketry, the pirates were frightened, and took flight, anti by favour of the darkness escaped the just I punishment they deserved. An English ship of war has brought hither twenty Arab 'ni -1 sonera, whom tiours, has given totonsmodore Hamilton. MALTA. We received yesterday the following communication from Malta:— MALTA, SEPT. 6. We are all here in anxious expecration of seeing great events take place in a short period. Last night one of Lord Lochrane's strain-boats passed, but did not touch ; we do not know her destina tion, but it it supposed, assist came in a north-east direction, that she was last from Messina, and in search of his Lordship. The Government here is quite determined to show him no quer ters4 in the event of his putting into Malta in a hostile manner; therefore, if his Lordship expects to get supplies for his squadron through this channel, he will be disappointed. The three Turkish officers, of whom I have already spoken, sail from this place to-morrow, for Marseilles, highly delighted with their hospitable reception. 'f he J larqui. of Hastings introduces them to Lord Bathurst ihd the Duke of Wellington ; and this ex treme politeness may be a service, as they are persons of consider able distinction. One of them speaks a little Italian, but the other two know nothing bat their own language. The Gannet is still in harbour, and, I believe, will give convoy to Alexandria. The Raleigh came in on Saturday front England, after a passage of forty days; she also, it is wild, is bound fur Alexandria, and Colonel Davison, Private Secretary to the 31aapais, proceeds in he to that place, &nl fmm thence lie goes up the Nile to Cairo. It is said his mission ise , solitical, as he is to be the bearer of despatches to the Pacha. The American squadron passed here last week, from Smyrna to Gibraltar, but did not touch ; they are gone there to refit and take in provisions. The packet from England is not yet arrived, though there arc daily arrivals from the west. The Romney store-ship sails in a day or two for Corfu and Zante, and afterwards returns to England. The Island is very doll at this moment, owing to the great de pression of trade. and, although we have free peutique with the Continent, it avails little. The system of Corn laws here, which has been retried on under a Committee of three or four persons, and has given general dissatisfaction, is. we understand, about to be re vised, and no two or more persons will have the power of inun dating the market with bad grain, and, at the same time, raising the price of bread. We have had no arrivals lately from Smyrna or Alexandria, but we are assursl that the piracies are completely put down. We are tearful of the plaque at Malta, as it is supposed to exist at this mo ment in some of the lonian Isles ; but the Board of Health, to ob viate all suspicions, has imposed a long quarantine upon all vessels coining from that quarter, which timely measure will still. it is hoped, insure a continuance of the free intercourse with the Conti nent which we now enjoy. Sir F. llankey, the Chief Secretary to Government, is expected from England the latter sad of this month, and Sir John Stabler' is afro daily expected. The troops of the garrison arc in good health, and no Lae:lions diseasini of any kind are supposed to exist on the Island. Should any thing occur respecting Lord Cochranc, I shall apprize you by the hist opportunity. PRICES OF BRITISH per C.:nt.

Sir Joux SINCLAIR, the well-known agricultural Ba ronet, lately furnished us with a strong argument in favour of a free trade in corn, by pointing out the extensive methods of improvement which remained still untried by agriculturists. We were then well aware of the Baronet's leanings; but his argument was good on our side, and we used it accordingly. He has since grappled with the Corn Question, and we cannot withhold from him that attention to which his patriotic spirit and practical knowledge of agriculture most justly entitle him. The lion. Baronet very well remarks that a few figures and undeniable facts are worth volumes or theory and fine-spun declamation ; and, in conformity with this principle, he gives us the schedules of the Income Tax, for 14[1. 'f he incomes liable to pay under this tax amounted, in all, to 176,731,311/., of which 25,000,000/. arose from trade ; and the whole of the remainder, including income from the Funds, income from taxation, &c., he rather oddly assigns to the land alone,—a singular assertion, on which we shall not stop to comment. Ile winds up these calculations by stating the produce of the soil and agriculture of Great Britain at 215,000,000/., and, including Ireland and the Colonies, at 317,000,0001. We make no remark on the extraordinary arrangement by which colonial and agricul tural produce are confounded ; and the still more obvious incorrectness of,his facts, in giving the whole agricultural produce of our Colonies, including India, at only 30 mil lions. The final and the grand mistake of Sir Jon NSI N CLAM is, that he estimates the present quantity of our ex ports to Prussia, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, u likely to continue the same after the late system of re strictions as before. He takes the value of our annual exports at 42,000,0001., of which 16,000 : 000 1 ., he says, are such as cannot be taken from us, and three-fourths of the remainder are exported to countries which have no grain to give. The remainder, which is exported to the corn countries, is too trifling to be taken into the account. Now to us it really does seem, that this trifling amount of our present exports to these countries should be the greatest induce ment for us to increase our transactions with them, by taking their grain in exchange. It does nut seem very dif ficult to comprehend that a nation cannot buy without something to give in exchange, either to us or to some other nation which may furnish it with gold for its dealings with us. In either case, whether we are ourselves the exchanging nation, or if we only receive gold which has been brought from some other nation, the result is precisely the same. Either the corn countries must procure substitutes fur our commodities which they would consume, or they are obliged to manufacture other commodities to sell to foreign nations, and thus supersede us in foreign markets, in order to Oe able themselves to purchase of us. Very unfair de auctions are made from; he accounts of recent arrivals from foreign ports. There is at present an exporting mania in foreign countries as much exceeding the natural proportion as our own speculations recently did the permanent se:ion of a salutary commercial system. It is obvtius that the same causes could not possibly act so quickly upon foreign countries as upon that in which the causes first took their origin. We may therefore expect for sonic time to see foreign vessels crowd our harbours ; but over speculation with them will soon produce its usual consei quences, and trade will speedily return into its natura channels. One of those prints which have recently degraded the press of London by substituting malignant fiction for in teresting information, and sacrificing truth on all occasions to effect, has lately distinguished itself by playing second fiddle to ConnETT in his declamations about the " Vigo Bay thing," as he called it, and has brought all the press in london, txcept itself, into a state of criminal arraignment concerning the abortive schemes of the late period of ma nia. We do not know whether we do right in attaching so much importance to the assertions of a Journal notorious for falsehoods. // ri'!/ a pie lu visritj qed Nesse. We shall simply deny, on our own parts, the alleged fact concerning the Editor of This Paper, and leave it to our contempora ries to show how excessively ridiculous it is to identify a Paper with every individual who either is or has ever been connected with it. But who, after all, is this declaimer against bubbles ? Why, the conductor of a Journal, which twiny a long year has been itself the very bubble of bubbles—the very essence of hollow pretension—not a number Gf which could be made up without deceiving the public a dozen times—which is itself the most corrupt of all jobs—if The quantity of falsehood employed in supporting it, and the little regard paid to morality in bringing its weapons to hear on individual character, be considered !as any proof of corruption in an establishment which is conducted upon no enlarged prin ciple of national interest, but merely with a view to the money to be made by the circulation of immorality. The means of securing this object have been well calculated; for calumny is always listened to. It is amusing to observe how the outcry against mis-statements is directed by the Reporters against the Erlitor,while the latter shelters him self under the Reporter. It is a mystery,—but one which we think we have penetrated. Though difficult in most instances to say who is the receiver, and who is the actual thief, one thing is certain—the receiver of the stolen goods has the larger share of the profits, and in this case he has to bear by far the greater portion of the moral guilt. We have heard it stated as the practice of a late journalist to make a distinction of price in paying for intelligence, and leaving it to the informant's discretion to make his demand. The Reporters in most cases admitted the falsehood, and claimed only the smaller price. This suited both parties : the journalist had striking paragraphs, and the Reporters could invent half a dozen astonishing occurrences in less time than they could hit upon one in real life. This would be a saving certainly 1 CITV, TUESDAY EVENING. The English Funds at the opening of the Market dis played a heavy but steady appearance at SO ; from this (potation they gradually declined to SO!, when the de cided sale, by one Broker, of 00,000 L, sent them dos n to SO. At the close of the Market they had not recovered the effect of the transaction in question, they then bearing that quotation for Money, and sol for the Account.

The BRITISH PRESS cowmen eed publishing yesterday morning at five o'clock. so opp osed, the machinations of the creatures of the Spa nish Court will have little avail. By the Lady East, ar rived from India, accounts are received to the 9th of April ; but as that date is only two days later than the overland despatch alr,•ady received, she is not the bearer of any news. The private letters do not state any thing new as regards the political state of India. By letters from Vienna, dated the 15th August, it appears that. the Metalliques had suffered a depression of two per cent. by the failure of a large money operator of that city, of the name of CALLA m ; the effect, however, was only temporary, as, at the close of the market, they had re covered their price. In the Foreign Market there has been but a very small share of business. The forged letter appears to have damped theardour of the speculators, who seem apprehensiveof some : thing turning up to the disadvantage of the South Ame rican S2curities, or else Mexican Six per Ccnt. Bonds, with the name of BARIsn attached to them as agent, are surely worth more than their present price. Mr. DAVIES is still using every endeavour to discover the trick ; but, up to this.period, without effect. It appears, from a communi cation which has been made to him from the gentlemen themselves, (for there were two who came by the Havre packet to Portsmouth,) that neither of them put any letter into the Post-office, of which circumstance they have given their most positive denial. Mexican Bonds today have not fluctuated one per cent., and their closing price was from 6ta to 6l Colombian were barely mentioned, but appear at 35} to Chilian Bonds have shown the greatest fluctuation, having been done as low as 37. At the close of the market, however, they had gained some friends, and might be found at from 39 to 41. In Greek, Spanish, and in Shares, the market was very heavy at the quotations of yesterday. The Colonial Market has been exceedingly heavy to day, and some sales of both Sugar and Coffee have taken place at somewhat lower prices tlem last week. Whether this proceeds from the circumstance of some large holders having grown tared by delay in the sales lately, or from the check that the trade has experienced within the last few days on the Continent, we are unable to say : it is not, however, apprehended that the effect is likely to be more than temporary. Exchanges are still a shade lower to-day, with a super abundance of money. • Lisbon Gazettes to the 17th instant were received yesterday morning. They contain numerous congratu latory addresses to the Princess Regent on the establishment of the Constitutional Charter, with her answers to them, which, howtver, present nothing very remarkable. It appears from these papers that a vigorous exercise of its authority is still found necessary on the part of the Go vernment to guard against the designs of the disaffected. Mention is made of soldiers and militia men who bad de serted returning to their duty • but we observe that various ordinances have been issued to dismiss the Mayors of different towns from their situations in consequence of having failed to compel due observance of the Constitutional Charter, and being supposed to favour its opponents. In making arrange ments for the meeting of the Chambers, we find that a decree has been put forth, appointing short-hand writers to them. The proceedings against the parties implicated in the crime of rebellion are directed by the Princess Regent to be accele rated as much as possible. This may be scund policy, but it would seem to he dictated by the conviction that exam ples were deemed necessary to awe the malcontents into submission. Our impression on this subject is not a little strengthened by a notice from the General Police Office, in which the Superintendent of Police prohibits nightly as semblages and serenades in the streets and squares of Lisbon, and which, he says, however plausible the pretence for them, must positively be discontinued.

Extract of a letter from the Agents of Lloyd's at Smyrna, addressed to the Secretary, dated August 19, 1826 :—" It is agreeable to learn that two ships of war had sailed for this station. The Ariadne is said to he arrived at Malta. His Majesty's ships Cambrian and Brisk are in port. The Rose gave convoy to the Scamauder to the Dardanelles, and is expected to return here. We have no news of the Se ringapatam since sailing on the Sth instant for Thermic. 'There is yet much need of a greater number of small cruisers in the Archipelago ; and we may observe that since the Rose came in, three weeks ago, there does not ap pear to be any ship of war cruising near Cape !loco, and in the other passages (where pirates are the most nu merous), to protect vessels bound upwards, unless the Seringapatam and Rose have taken their station there lately. Convoy may be appointed next week to the Ma tilda for London, anti the Levant, Star, anti Albion, for Liverpool, nearly ready. A sailor was brought from Tino last week, in a Sardinian ship of war, who reports he was o n e of the crew of a Genoese vessel, La Perla, loaded at Gibraltar for this port, and attacked withinihe entrance of this Gulf by a Greek schooner, who, after some resist. ane:‘, cart ied the Genoese vet-sel, and put all the crew to death, excepting this man, saved by the Grrek Ca t s!ain. The prize has been carried into Hydra. This horrible story not being as yet supported by other evidence than that of the sailor who escaped, it is to be hoped it may not be true, though for the present it is to be believed. The Capi:an Paella has yet done nothing against Samos, not withstanding daily demonstrations of an attack." There are now two of the New York packet-ships due, the Panthea anti the Columbia. The Silas Richards will sail ta-day, should the wind be favourable.—Liverpool The Hannah, from Lima, has arrived at Creolchaven ; sailed in company with the Ayacucho, which touched at Deal a few weeks ago. It is stated that the Hannah has on board fifteen tons of silver, on tnerchants' account. She is not to sail from Crookhaven but with a fair wind.— ARK ABLE OCCURRENCE.—The following is an ex tract of a letter from an English gentle:llan, now on his re turn from Italy, dated Turin, S2pt.lo: " Let we reenact to you a curious eircirmstatire:—Two English gentlemen. travelling from Genoa to Turin, were stopped by a body of brigands, twelve or fourteen in number; being all ruined. re sir ance was useless; they were pluodered of all they possessed, and actually left • en rhemi.ye.' After bidding the gentlemen adieu, with the utmost politeness, the brigands retired to divide their spoil, which consisted of their wardrobe, 4,000 francs in gold, and two bottles of Le Roy: the quality of the first bottle. marked No. 1, being that of a violent purgative, and No. 2 an emetic one spoonful of each being a full dose. Totally ig , lorant of the nature of either bottle, it was considered ardent spirit; and brandy (like in tincture of rhubarb) forming a principal part, it was drunk by the band ! The result I need tor relate—one died of the effects, others cr4wled home, hut two exhaust-11 rascals were caught, tried. last week here, and will be executed on Thursday next." ECONOMICAL. LAMP.—Take a stick of phosphorus, put it into a large dry phial, not corked, and it will afford a light sufficient to discern any object in a room. The phial should be kept in a cool place, where there is no great current of air, and it will continue its luminous appearance for more than twelve months.

The fineness of the weather on Saturday morning caused a very numerous assemblage, and fresh subscribers at the Old Well, Sherborne, and Montpellier Spas.

Colonel Berkeley's fox-bounds have commenced cub bunting in the Cheltenham conutry. CHELTENHAM THEATRE . It having been deemed eligible that Mr. Charles Kemble, after two performances at this place, should be honoured with a benefit, our " distiaguisyleed" Amateurs gave him their " itipartant sowees" on Tuesday last, when he received what was, doubtless, a due reward for his frequent and/alio/iv attempts to afford us such amuse ment as may he derived from the Cheltenham drama. On this very interesting occasion the Hest part of " Henry the Fourth was selected for performance, in which the Prince of Wales was sustained by Colonel Berkeley, and Falstaff allotted to his gallant brother. Perhaps many persons, like Mrs. Kitty in the farce, reserve the reading of Shakspeare for a wet afternoon ; at all events, no small number are accustomed to attend the representation of his plays with the same careless and ig norant feeling. Hence the unusual assemblage of persons to witness the present exhibition, finding no attraction in any of its splendid attributes, and experiencing no amuse ment from the actors who embodied them, every sensation resolves itself into a motive of mere curiosity, apd we trust that the Amateurs, though so warmly greeted upon their appearance, have too much sense and modesty to consider the plaudits that are bestowed upon them as sound indica tions of the critical favour with which they are regarded. This would, indeed, be a serious mistake, and we caution them not to indulge it. Few " common players" are more conspicuous than Mr. C. Kemble for perverted talents and idle vanity, of which his rejection of the Prince in this play, to assume the part of Hotspur, is a striking example. llis "old robes" cer tainly " sat easier than his new," and he would act pru dently, in his future career upon the metropolitan boards, by abstaining from characters which he cannot possibly re present without the most painful distortions of mind, voice, and gesture. Much public injury has been done by Mr. Keroble's mistakes to our native drama, and we hope to see him either dissuaded or driven from the track in which he to blindly proceeds. The favourite farce of High Life below Stairs followed, in which the Duke's Servant devolved upon Colonel Berkeley, whose comic deficiencies were concealed by the mock gravity of the character. The audience laughed heartily at his performance, but we were chiefly struck with the incongruous attempts of a gentleman, possessing wealth and station, to acquire, even in sport, the sordid manners of those above whom he is so fortunately exalted. Mr. Kemble played Lord, the. boyish tricks of wuich cor responded but indifferently with his ago. and stature. Farley was not amiss in the Valet of Sir Ilarry.—Chelten hara Herald. SEPT. 2.3.-Mr. C. Kemble played at our theatre on Saturday evening, for the last time this season, owing to the opening of Covent-Garden theatre. The Comedy of the Suspicious Husband was performed, in which Mr. K. appeared as Mr. Oakley. There was not, however, a numerous attendance, owing to the attractions of the promenade in the Montpelier Spa, from 7 till 9 o'clock, which was thronged with visitors. The numerous band playing during the time in the Re tunda greatly enlivened the scene. At the conclusion, ' the band rose and played " God save the King." the company all standing up, the gentlemen taking off their hats. Sir Henry Halliard, Mr. Macgrigor, and Mr. Simpson, visited the Duke of York yesterday, at the residence of the Duke of Rutland, in Arlington-street.
