Their imagination is perpetually colouring that- pictures of domestic happiness they delight to dwell on. Hr who is so husband may sigh for that elevated tenderness which is at once Iwstowel and received ; and tears may start in the eyes of him who can become a child among children, and is no father. These deprivations have usually twee the concealed cause of the querulous and tendert melan chaly of the literary character. The real °erasion of Sesestowa's unhappiness was, that early in life he had been csptivateel by a young lady adepted to be both the muse and the wife of the poet. Her mild graces were soon touched by his plaintive love songs and elegies. Their sensibility was too mutual, and heated foe some years, till she died. It was in parting from her that he firm sketched Isis Pastoral Btalad: Sbenstone hail the for titude et refuse eiserrimge ; hiss spirit could not endure that ' she should participate in that life of deprivations to which be was doomed, by an inconehlerre union with poetry and poverty. But he loved, and his heart was not looked spin the lee-ef erelihsev. tie says, in a moment of humour, " It is lotig sinee t have considered myself as undone. The world will not ?ethers consider me in that light entirely till I have married my maid." TIIOII9ON met a reciprocal passion in his Ameade, while the full !en tireness of his heart was ever wasting itself, like waters is a d ese rt. via we have beets made little arquointeil with this part of the history of the poet of the Seusens, I give big own d scription of these deep feelings from a 111311 U. script letter written to Mallet. "To turn my eyes a softer way, to you know who--shience sighs it to me. What is my heart macie of? a soft system of low nerves, too sen.inle for my quiet—capable of being very happy or very unhappy ; I am afraid the last will prevail. Lay your hand upon s kindred heart, anal despise me not. I Lauer nut what it is, bet she dwells upon my thought in a miugled sentiment, which is the sweetest, the most jell mately pleasing the soul can receive, and which I would wide never to want towerds seine dear ()Nee' or another. Tu hate always some secret starling idea to which one can sill have recourse amidst the noise and nonsense of the norld, and which nev.r fa Tor to touch us in the most ex quisite manner, is an art of happiness that fortune cannot deprive us of. This may be called romantic ; but, what ever the cause is, the rifle' is really felt. Pray, when you write, tell use when you saw hes, snd with the pure eye of a friend, when you see her again, whisper that I am her most humble servant." Even Port. was epamoured of a " scornful lady ;" and, as 9,ollr:sox observed, " pol luted his will with female resentment." Jules/sex him self, we are told by Miss Seward, who knew hitn, " had always a metaphysical passion for one Princess or other, — the mimic Lucy Potter, or the haughty Molly Aston, or the sublimated methodistic Hill Brothily ; and, lastly, the emote charming Mrs. Thrale." Even in his advanced age. at the bright of his celebrity, we hear his cries of lonely wrese.beduess. " I want eve ry comfort ; my life is very military and very cheerless. Let me know that I have vet a fri. nil—let us be kind to one another." But the "kind ness" of distant friends is like the polar sun, too far re moved to warty. A footsie is the only friend the solitary can have, because bee friendship is never absent. Even the who have eluded individual tenderness. are tortured by' an setting void in their fee linp.

The City of Edinburgh and James Wttt, steam vessels , have each lost an anchor and cable. Tut Sir a Tear:L.—No answer has as yet been returned ro the: memorials p•esented to the Treasury and to the Board of Trade, by the deputation appointed at the late general meeting of the trade. It was asserted some time ago by a contemporery print, that Messrs. Depoulat and Co. had undergone an invest elation on the alleged charge of importing silk goods into this country without paying the prohibitory duty. From the very best authority we are enabled to state that no such investigation has taken place, nor is it at all likely that any inquiry could be carried on without the pretence of the two principal official personages at the head of the Treasury and the Board of Trade, Lord Liverpool and Mr. iluskisson, both of whom have been out of town for some time. The reply to the gentlemen composing the deputation was simply this:—" That the memorials had be en received in the proper quarter, and that the subject to which they refereed was under consi deration.- In the interim several gentlemen have been amusing themselves with writing hat, rs to the newspapers. some of whom contend, that the removal of the prohibitory duties would rather operate beneficially to the silk trade of this country, whilst others (the majority indeed) hold a contrary opinion. All this conflict of discussion tenets to no other seed than the excitement of disaffection end uneasi ness amongst the working classes, who are fearful that all parties are conspiring to etiZet their ruin. Spitalfis Ids and its vicinity are alive with anxiety on this momentous ques tion, and the working classes talk of calling a general meeting of tin madret in the course of the ensuing week, to deviate some measures for averting the threatened evil. Toe )canna NtAll believe that nothing has transpired since our last, in the neighbourhood of Bury, relative to the dreadful erunler at Birile-cuen•Bam, ford ; but a man oaineel Ralph Weston, who, we believe, is implicated by some diaclosures made by Diggle, was appre hended Sunday in the neighbourhood of Keighley. We understand that, on the Monday after the robbery, Ifearen (who is a cottou.epinner by trade, and was once apprentice with Sir Robert P.:el) applied, in his real name, at the fac tory of Messrs. John Knight anti Co. near Keighley, where he obtained work as a carder but he had not remained three many slays before some expressions which f II from him excited suspicions in the minds of his employe re, that he had tied froinjusiice ; and inwarele the end of last week, from his knowledge of the neighbom hood of the town of Bury, and of persons who had resided there, he became suspected at one of the murderers. On Saturday, a perusal of the / reds:Hem/re (which contained a description of the Person of Weirton who was said to have abst•onded from Bury), convnicedMeasra. Knight and Co. that their suspi cions were well-Punster, ; the personal appearance and dress described being precisely threw of the roan in their employ. They consequently had him apprehended on Sun day, and be was brought over to Bury yesterday. %Ve un elerstand he sloes nut deny his intienaey with Dittede, and admits that he was with him for sev e ral days before, r and until three o'clock of the day when the murder was com mitted, but says that he slid not tee him afterwards. He has not, as yet, undergone any examination ; hut we be lieve the reply evidence against him is the declaration of Diggle, which, if unconfirmed by oth:r testimony, will be of very little value. —.lfunsliesfer'Penee. 'fits PORTSMOUTH Matt.--Sitniloy evening, as the Portsmouth mail-coach was leaving the inn-yard, one of the leads is was observed suddenly to halt, when it was discovered that a large bull-dos (whose approach was net perceived owing to the density of the fog) had seised him by the nose, front which situaeion the dog could not be remora, till the guard shut him dead. The fog continued se thick as far as Kingston, that the coachman (who had driven the snail for several years) found great difficulty in k*ping the main road. imp [From 'he ,ILorchester lr An article on this sulject inserted in the Gs/mt./ion in January list, we estimated the prohable import of cotton for the year at 'I 44.000 hags—an estimate which has been attacked as extravagant by thesnlvocatea of the speculators. We now find that the total repo-tee/ imports into the khig- Join tip to Saturday last, amount to - 738,1167 .

The speculators, however, partly we' anppese by way of keeping op their own spirit., and paid ) in the hope of in ducing other persons to take some Aare in the burden which they find so heavy, have set their wits to work in praying the consumption to he much greater than any hotly hail previously suspected it to 1w: and this they elli-ct by the very ingenious process of eakulating the quantity re quired for the manufacture of all the cotton goods etportert, and then guessing at the quantity consumed at home. In this way some of them make it amount to shout 13,000 hags per week ; and they might by the same process, anti with equal , ase, prove it to be 30,000. We do not suppose that these extravagant calculations have much effect in keeping up prices; but there is a cir cumstance which, we have no doubt, has had considerable influence in that way. We allude to the control which , certain large holders have obtained, as assignees and trus tees, ever the immense stocks held by the houses which have become ins& vent,—stocka amounting, probably, to u wards of 100 .000 bags, which are kept as complete out of the Liverpool ma r ket, as if t h e y were st ill i n g out Carolina. Wheat: ' Oats: We have little doubt, that if these cottons were brought into the market in the same prnportiuns LP the re►t of stock in Livtrpoul, they would cause a considerable reduction in prices. COTTON MA N UFACTrRES. It is impossible to awe rtsin with precision the actus amount of any of the great manufactures of the kingdom but of cotn.n it may he seely asserted, that the value is from thirty to forty millions of pounds sterling per annum. The average annual amount of cotton wool imported dur ing the last seven years was 115,000,00011 w., from which deduct .1.5 millions for exports, and 10 millions fur cotton wool used at home, in an unmanufactured state, 120 toil lions remain. Taking the price of this wool at Is. per lb., and the increase of value by manufacture at five times the cost of the raw material, the amount will wand thus :- 120.1100,0001ba. ut Cotton at Is. per lb. 4:1141 1 00.000 luctuuted value by utrwuracture . . 341.0011,0U0 Growl amount Average value ut anion manufactures exported . . 16 500 3,11 Home consmnp.ion . . . /.19,439,421 This result is not very dissimilar to the statement made by the President of the Board of Trade in the House of Commons, on the Bth of March, 1924, when the cheers of the house so cordially hailed the annunciation that the annual value of cotton goods manufactured had risen to the incredible amount of 33,337,0001. Every part of the cotton trade, from the importation of the raw material to its completion by the weaver, the bleacher, the dyer, and the calico printer, is carried on in this town and parish, but the branch for which Manchester is particularly distinguished is the spinning. In this de pertinent of the trade there are at present (Ang. 18'.1.5) 104 spinning factories in the townships of Manchester, Chorl ton-row, Ardwiek, Salford, Pendleton, and Bohm., work ed by 110 steam engines, of the aggregate power of 3 .598 horses. in the year 1787, the number of spinning factories in the county of Lancaster amoueted only to 42, and those were in general of a magnitude very inferior to the milk which at present exist in this place. From a calculation made in 1817 by Mr, John Ken nedy, one of the most considerable cotton spinners in Man chester, it appears that the number of persons then em ployed in the spinning of cotton in this country was 110,743, that the aid they derived from steam was equal to the power of 20,769 horses; and that the number of spindles in motion was 6,64.5,933. By this immense pro cess 3,987,500,000 hanks of cotton yam were produced yearly, taking the average of 40 hanks to the pound ; and the quantity of coal consumed in their production is stated at 3,006 tons. 31r.

About four-tiftlis of the whole amount of the cotton trade of the 1 ingdom centres in the county of Lancaster ; and it is calculated that the capital employed ill Lanca shire in this trade alone, in buildings and machinery, amounts to 8,000,000 i. steam is, as has been already ob served, now applied to a considerable extent in the weav ing as well as in the spinning. and we have ascertained, that there are at present (July, MS), in the parish of Manchester alone, upwards of 20,000 steam looms in mo tion. In the first volume of this work, quoting from Nlr. Guest's book on " The Cotton Manufactures," the nuin her of strain or power looms in Great Britain was esti mated at 10,000: that estimate was even too kw, and the probability is that there are now iu England and Scot laud, not fewer than 40,000 power looms employed in the weaving of cotton alone, 8,000 of which are ii) Scotland. 11,18111,V LACE. It affords us great pleasure to have it in our power to state that the Bobbin Lace Manufactory, we mentioned some time ago as being in contemplation, has been este ' blished in this town (NewcaFtle). It has not been Com menced precisely on the footing at first proposed, as the parishes of St. John, St. Andrew, and All Saints, hare been nnaccountably prejudiced against the pmjecr. in deed they would not stifKr the children in'their respective poor-houses to he engaged in the inatiOfactory, unless the principal would enter into certain securities, which lie thought proper to decline. They applied, we understand, to other lace manufacturers, respecting the project and its author, and the answer to such an application was Whitt might have been reasonably anticipated, to discourage on undertaking decidedly against their own interests. The' gentleman, Mr. Blanchard, who originally proposed the measure, we are happy to hear, determined to accomplish it notwithstanding this opposition. He was supported by the parish of St. Nicholas, afflict) has intrusted him will': children on the tuns he proposed, namely, that he should tt ceive a premium of 7v. M ith each for instructing them the first six months in the business. At the expiration of that period they are to be vend wages according to what they can mita, and they have constantly a portion of the day set apart for their education, which is provided for them free of ' expense. In coon qnence of the disappointment Mr. B. has experienced from the other parishes, he is under the necessity of ensagins children where he can.

The fire broke out In the cellar, which rapit . lig, 9LALiag to the upper rooms, the whole oft h t.)olllllftif was 4 'in a Range, and presented a must alarming aspect. The engines were soon on the spot, anti by the activiezertions of the dillerent firemen, in a short time fortunately immeshed in suppressing the fury of the flames, and prevented them extending to the adjoining hoiklings. The blaze was imme diately observed by the officers on the watch oo bo rd his Majesty's ship Bittern, in the river. and Capt. Dwyer, with a highly credit able alacrity, immediately manned his boats with &party of seamen and marines, and repaired to the scene of ceillagration, a here their peat activity and energy were of great service. The premises in *Molt the fire originated were entirely destroyed. We understand that there were about 2800 bales of cotton in them, very little of which will be saved. The cotton and building, were insured. We ant -informed that the fire is have been . supposed to . occasioned by the flue of • building belonging to the 'napery of Mews. Lunt, in which lime was burnt, having been much heated by constant use for days and nights, that the bricks forming the wall of the cotton warehouse were :Limns' wed hot. The property consumed in these two fires will, we believe, amount to about 40,0U01. exclusive of the buildings." •.' rt . SUI'PI.Y OP COII.V. • The annual circular of a respectable firm of corn-faetors in London, dated Monday last, says--" The supply of wheat to the London market in the course of last year was shoot 173,000 gnawers short of the amoral average supply 'of the precious sixteen years ; wher,as that of flour has exceeded the average of the last twelve years by nearly 120,000 sacks. In the year rusting Michaelmas, 1022, we had a larger arrival of British wheat into this port than in any previous year ; since then, Int sever, the supplies have been gradually diminishing, although the intermediate crops are allowed to have Leen abundant, and the stock of old wheat remaining at the close of this season, when the new crop came to hand, was probably never less. Indeed, with the exception of the foreign wheat lately made free, we may fairly say it was nearly exhausted ; and, conceiv ing every place in the United Kingdom to be supplied, ac cording to their wants, nearly itt the same ratio as Loedigh; we have been lei! :o draw the conclusion, that the mai sumption is rapidly overtaking the production ; and the gradual advance in the price of wheat within the last few years seems to confirm it. The cropof wheat this veer in the United Kingdom is considered a full average, toth in quantity and quality ; yet we think the produce inannte of the principal districts in England, such as Marx, Suffolk, Norfolk, and Lincolnshire. will not bear put the reports we had of It a month or six weeks ago ; and ecru with favourable prospects for the next harvest, we do not look for any material decline in prices, excepting what may he caused by a temporary excess in the supplies during the winter awl spring months. We are persuaded, long before we can reap another crop, this article will recover any thing it may have loot its value ; mut with a protracted harvest next season we doubt much it our crop of wheat will be found more than sufficient for the covsutnpfion .; for with unfavourable weather during the spring aid summer, so as to create an alarm fur the fate of the ensuing crop, we think prices are likely to run up, very bight, even so mach so as to open the ports: we are satisfied that only fine seasons and abundant crops can enable us to holdout much I longer, without having recourse to foreign aid. The Canada wheat that has ar:ived under the late Act of Par liatnent, and admitted for censumption, on payment of ss. per quarter duty, is of ordinary quality, and 'post of it in bail condition. The quantity arrived is between 7,000 am! 8,000 quarters." On Wednesday evening Ole Catholic chapel in Mal berrv-strcet, Nlaneliestcr, was entered through one of the winilows ; and the communion plate, consisting of a silver chalice, plate. and spoon. W3S stolen from A closet in the vestry, lii which it sas usually deposited. In conse quence of some information conveyed to the Salford police, Mr. Derbyshire. with his assistants, went to the Bolton packet-boat on &Imlay morning, ult-ti it was about to tail (ruin Oli!field-lane, and took from it two men of n3torious characters, twined Andrew llantodi and Georg e Pickering, in whose pas , a.ssion they found the whole of the 1110;m plate. With sinus difficulty they learnt where one of them had been lodging in 11 ultra, and on searching the Poore they found an immense quantity of silk, eachemei (F. and other goods, evidently the (rid:. of sever.d different rob beries, which it is suppus al the prisoners had received honrs the tnieves. A ocorigst oth r things discovered was a gold seal, which oar amlen from a young man, who was knockeddowu and rubbed near the Saltoril chapel, about * fortnight ago. The prisoners were brought up for violin nation yesterday, but were demanded fur further evidence.— Marteilester Ad,e•rtiscr. NEWMARKET OCTOBER MEETINg. TUESDAY NIGHT.
