Mr. Horn and Mr. A.Flopio were peculiarly ARGTLL ROOMS. 11:ss Eliza Paton's concert at the Argyll Rooms yestet else evening was numerously and fashionably attended. It was this young lady's first ptiblic appearance, and notwith wilding the difficulties under which she must have la boured, she succeeded in producing a very powerful effect. We understand she is not more than fourteen years of age, A nd we have no hesitation in saying, that if' she realise' the promise site has given, she will one day or other rank 11 woof/our first vocal performers. In person she resembles her sister, but the expression of her countenance is more e ngaging, and she ponsesies that modesty and diffidence of nuumer which never fails to attract. The character of her ' , e ine is also giddier to that of tier sister. It is not, of course, so clear or so perfect, but it is evidently capa ble of equal improvement. Its defect is a degree of shrillness, which can only he mellowed by time. The ot her vocal performers were Miss Isabella Paton, Mrs. Paton (who appeared before a public audience for the first time), Miss Stephens, Miss Gradtlon, Mr. Horn, and Mr. A. Sapio. Miss Stephens was in excellent voice, and sung most sweetly the beautiful air " Come, Love, to me."— Miss Grattan was loudly and iterervedly encored in the song " Bid me discourse." A verse of " God save the King" was given by Miss laabella Paton in a most pleasing and powerful manner. Madame Vestris was announced to sing, but the lady, at ten o'clock, sent a messenger with intelligence that site was otherwise engsol, and as no apology was given by her, none vt.ms olsJed to the audience. It is no uncommon ruse " Madame" thus to raise expectation to its height, that disappointment may fall heavier ; and it would have been. severely felt in the present instance, but that the auditors happened to be too well placed to be inclined to marmot.' at any thing. Mr. Horn and Mr. A. Sapio were peculiarly], happy in a ductto from Rossini. The instrumental per formers were. Mr. Mori, Mr. Nicholson, and Pio Cian chettini. This latter gentleman, who is confessedly one of the first, if not the very first pianist of the day, ptesided at the piano throughout the evening. We haVe never seen or heard any one who more completely realises our idea of a' perfect devotedness to music. While he plays, his whole soul appears to keep pace with his fingers ; every feeling seems to be called into action, his lips are perFtually qui vering, his small dark eyes Tinkle, his brows arc in con tinued motion, and his countenance altogether becomes molt animated. We could only imagine a comparison to such complete abstractedness in the idea of a Newton, over one of his problems, or of the painter Vernet, who, we are informed, was beheld on shipboard, when every other person expected the momentary wreck, with his pen cil and his paper, quietly sketch:ng the war of elements. ' In Mr. Bullock's travels through this pert of the New World we find a curious extract from the account of an English Dominican Friar, by the name of TnOlfall GAGE, who went to Mexico in the year MS, and resided there twelve years. Ile wrote a work entitled 'lite EngliAls Ame ricas, his travels by Sea and Land, in which he describes Mexico as lie saw it a century after the Spanish Conquest. We quote the author in his own quaint language:— " 'l'he streets are very broad, in the narrowest three coaches may goe, anti in the braider six may goe in the breadth of them, which rakes the city seem a great deal bigger than it is. lit my time it was thought to bee of be tween thirty and forty thousand inhabitants, Spaniards, who are so proud and rich, that half the city was judged to keep coaches, for it was a most credil4e report, that in Mexico, in my time, there were above 13,000 coaches. It is a by-word, that in Mexico there are tam things faire, that is to say, the women, the apparel, the horses, and the streets. But to this I may add the beauty of some of the coaches of the gentry, which doe exceed in cost the best of the Court of Madrid and other parts of Christen dome, for there they spare no silver nor gold, or pretious stones, nor cloath of gold, nor the best silks of China, to enrich them. And to the gallantry of their horses, the pride of some add! the cost of bridles and shoes of silver. The streets of Christcndome must not compare with those in breadth anti cleannesse, but especially in the riches of the shops which doe Adorn them. Above all, the gold smiths' shops and workes are to be admired. The Indians, and the people of China that have been made Christians, and every yeere come thither, have now perfected the Spa niards in those trades. The Viceroyc, who went thither in the yeere 1623, caused a popingay to be made of silver, gold, and rejoin stones, with the perfect colour of the popingay's feathers (a bird bigger than a pheasant), with such exquisite art and perfe ction, to present unto the King of Spain, that it was prizes] to be in riches and woi kmanship halfe a million of duckats. There is in the cloyster of the Dominicans a lainpe hanging in the church, with three hundred branches wrought in silver, to hold so Many candles, besytieti a hundred little lampes for oyie set in it, every one being made of several workn.enship, so exquisitely that it was veined to be worth 400,000 duckats ; and with such like curious workes are many streets made more rich and beautiful by the shops of goldsmiths. " To the by-word, touching the beauty of the women, I must add tfie liberty they enjoy for gaming, which is such, that the day and night is too short for them to end a primera when once it is begun ; nay, gaming is so com mon to them, that they invite gentlemen to tht ir houses for no other end. To myself it happened, that, passing along 'the streets with a fryer that came with me the first year from Spain, a gentlewoman of great birth, knowing us to be Chapetans ( . so they call the first yeere those that come from Spain), from her window called unto us ; and after two or three slight questions concerning Spain, asked us if we would come in and play with her a game of primers. Both men and women are excessive in their apparel, using More - sllkes then stuffes anti Swat* ; refloat- vowels aside pearles further much their vain ostentation ; a hatband and rose made of diamonds in a gentleman's hat is common, and a hatband of pearls is ordinary in a tradesman ; nay, a blackmere, or tautly young maide anti slave, will make hard shift but slice will bee in faeltien with her neckchaine or bracelets of pearles, and her carbobs of some considerable jeweils." Such was the state of manners in Mexico two han,' . „d years ago.

There was a numerous attendance of " bonnie irnies" rvt " highland Wait's" at these gardens last evening, to celebrate the festival which the proprietors announced in , honour of the Scottish nation. The Caledonian costume, particularly that of the ladies, had a peculiarly pleasing effect, which was in no saran degree enhanced by the ten thousand lights that contributed their united and un equalled splendour to set them nil to the utmost advantage; in truth, it would seem that these gardens had put on " all their beauty and their brilliancy" to greet our northern neighbours. The entertainments of the evening were ex clusively and appropriately Scottish. In one part of the gardens " Cruinacha na'n elann" (the gathering of the cuts) met our eye, in beautifUlly•variegated lamps of red and blue; in another our attention was arrested by the star of St. Andrew, set in lamps of equal brilliancy ; again, in the pavilion, the symbols and trophies of the achieve- scents of Scottish vale“ challenged the attention of the visiter—they presented so formidable and warlike an ap pearance as induced us almost to think we SAW " the front of battle lour." In addition to the Cave of Fingal, there was an entirely new scene, representing the City of Edinburgh ; and the cosinorainal were supplied with new views fiom the Grampian Hills. Nor was the novelty and .entertainment of the evening confined to scenery alone: an admirable and most judicious selection of the national melodies of Scotland made the orchestra the favourite and most attractive resort of the evening. " We're a' Noddin," " Charlie is my Darling," " Ye Banks and Bran," were in the catalogue of songs selected for the evening's entertainment. They whn "I" a" &BOLA these spirit-stiring strains are unwor thy and incapable of estimating the merits, or participat ing in the charms of song at all. The tire-works, which are more brilliant during the present than any preceding' year were on a scale of surpassing splendour. Altogether, in singing, in dancing, in scenery, and in every variety of, entertainment, we do not remember to have spent a more agreeable ecming at Vauxhall. than that of " The Grand Caledonian Fete." RECEPTION OF Till DUKR OF NORTIIUMBEB LAND AT BOULOGNE. [From the Aunotatere de Dowlogne.l We think we shall NMI the wishes of our subscribers in hasten. ing to offer to them, in a supplementary sheet, a detailed account of the sojourn of the Duke of Northumberland within our walls— an event so fruitful in hopes for our town. and in which Boulogne has rendered itself the organ of France !n !reviving an illustrious guest. On Thursday. at live o'clock in the afternoor., his Excel lency the Duke of Northumberland, Envoy Extraordinary from his Briennic Majesty, alighted at the Bath Hotel, which had been' prepared for his reception. When informed of his arrival the at unities tautened to pay their respects to him. Tae King's Lieutenant offered the Ambassador a guard of honour, which was declined. The fish women, in their best dress (tear rand costume), presented to the Duchess a basket of flowers, which she received wth a tremeshable condescension. During the dinner of the Duke the band of the National Guard, which was placed upon the ter race of the hovel, executed some chosen pieces of music. After dinner the Duke, the Duchess, and suite, went to the play, where two boxes had been prepared for them. The theatre was tilled with • crowd of spectators, whom the presence of the illustrious travel lers had attracted, and who received them with a shout of applause. The orchestra then executed the cherished airs of the two nations— I'me Henri IV, and God save Ilse King., during which the Duke and his suite, and all the audience, were standing. The actors gave A Atonal', of Inapradexee and The I,ektey. Ills Excellent; appeared to take much ioterest in the performance, and be was seen several times to givelproofs of hie satisfaction. On returning to the hovel, the ltukc found the court-yard illu minated with coloured lamps, which enabled him to distinguish the standards of France and 'i.gland waving togclier. On the following looming, at ten o'clock, the port bras covered with a crowd of natives and fveigners, who had hastened to enjoy the hr.sexce of the Duke, for whom his packet was waiting. It was oped that before his embarkation li.s Excellency would visit the new establieliment of Sea Baths, where the greatest part of! the subscribers were assembled. This hope was nor disappointed. / The ... Mayor and his first officer, accompanied by M. Versia, the proprietor of the baths, received his Exceltoney. During half an hour,. wbich the visit occuoiel, the Duke and Duchess showed that arability which agv.:es so well with the elevation of rank. The Duke praised the good taste of the architecture of the edifice, atid the decorations of the saloons; he appeared particularly crack with the magnificent comp trail which presented itself (coin the platform, In the appearance of the sea, terminated at the horizon by the coast of Ei.gland, and at that moment a innate.' by the motion of several fishing boats entering and :frying the port. One I observation, which did not escape the Noblemen cf the suite, and which was 'creel times repeated, was, that 11.ilogne, by its happy position, offers a prompt and easy communication be,ween the ta o countries. The Duke, before he quitted the establishvent, being informed that the party which met there consisted of sub s.:rtbers, who held an honourable rank In society, in a way in whirls every one will appreciate the delicacy, naked for the list of sub scribers, and entered the names of himself and family---a eircum a ance which leads us to hope that his Excellency will fulfil the promise which he was pleased to make of again visiting our town. His Excellency having embarked, as anon as the packet had passed the jetties two guns, wide., were placed on the IbilUfe, were bred :1 times. The corvette which was :ippon - veil to escort him advatiesd and returned the salute. It would be difficult to give to those wha were not present an exact ides of the beauty of the picture which was presented by the port and its environs. The crowd, w.iich covered the jetties, the ghat, the front and platfbno of the baths, the numerous vessels which skimmed the sea, a few clouds which were repeated over its vast extent. and which banished uniforiLity—all concurred to form an enchanting spectacle which the eye could scarcely quit. The details into which we have entered are very proper, seamen doubt. to entertain and draw closer the bonds of good iotelligence which here unite the two nations. The Boolonnais have seized with marked avidiur this opportunity of doing honorer so the Eng. lisp netian in the representative of its Monarch. and the English, WI their side, have appease' to appreciate the reception, and its years up:— " The new city," says Mr. Poinsett, " was built in 1524, is built on piles. The streets are. sufficiently wide, and run nearly minis and south, east and west, interset ing each other at right angles ; they are all well paved, and have side walks of flat stones. The public squares are see cious, and surrounded by buildings of hewn stone, and of very good architecture. The public edifices and churches are vast and splendid, and the private buildings being con structed either of porous emygdaloid or of porphyry, have an air of solidity and. even of magnificence. They are of three and four curies high, with flat terrace roofs, and many of them 'ate ornamented with iron balconies. The houses of Me eico arc all squares with open courts, and the corridors, cr interior piazzaa, arc ornamented with enor mous l'Atia vases, containing evergreens. They are not so we'd furnished as our houses in the United Stater, but the apartments are more lofty'and spacious, and arc better .iistributed. The entrance leads through a large gate into an inner court, with the stairs in front of the gate. The beat apartments, which are generally gaudily painted, are on the street, and frequently on the second story above the ground floor." " We walked through the market-place, and I was sur er:Eel to see it so well furnished. The markets of Phila delphia and New York display butchers' twat in greater quantity, and generally of better quality, but here we saw game in abundance. NVild ducks, birds of various sorts, venison and hares, and the profusion and variety of fruits and vegetables, were greater than I bad seen in any market . in Europe or America.' " The fruits of the tropics are raised a short distance fro:n the city, and the vegetables and fruits of Europe are cultivated on the borders of the lakes Xochimilea and Clialco, by the Indians, who bring them to market in canoes ornamented with flowers. The stalls are set out with flowers, ihiel• are in great demand by all classes, to adorn the shrine of some Saint, the patron of the house, or to grace a festival. The market is filled with stalls, and the paths through it are very narrow, and obstructed by a drowd of leperos, whom I was cautioned nut to touch, for their blankets swarm with vermin. The streets surrounding the market are ,filled with earthen ware for cooking, and other domestic privies. Th 2 Indians everywhere make earthen pots very' greatly, and the people here use them instead of iron Clt topper vessels." fu those who love to contemplate the advance of civili sation, and who tele an interest in the improving condition of the human race, the contrast of the above accounts must be highly satisfactory. An article dated Frankfot t, June et, complains of the i seat - tic:ion under which the trade of Germany languishes, and expresses fears thee the South American Market Will prove less beneficial to the industry of that part of Europe than was formerly anticipated. The Greek paper, the Friend of Me Laos, of April,l, contains two decrees—one recognising the last Loan at Me public debt of Greece, the other for the arrest of there'll", Zsintis and Londos, who had landed in the Peloponnesus with the intention of disturbing puldic tranquillity.

Yesterday an inquisition was taken at the Dolphin public house, Long-alley, Finsbury, before T. STIRLING, Hill. Coroner, on view of the body of Ann Brown, a woman between 40 and 60 years of age, residing in Crooked Billet-court, Long-alley, who was found in her bed on Sunday night last, with her throat cut. This case has excited intense interest throughout the neighbour hood, in consequence of the apprehension of the husband of the deceased, on suspicion of having murdered her. The Jury, having been sworn, proceeded to the house to view the body, which presented a dreadful spectacle, being little else than skin and bones, and the windpipe being severed. On the return of the Jury, one of them (Mr. Constable) said he wished to observe on the impropriety of removing the situation in which it had been found, before it was seen by the Jury, a practice, he said, by which they were prevented from forming so perfect an opinion as they might otherwise be enabled to do, as to the manner of the death of the deceased. The summoning officer replied, that it was done by direction of the Coroner (Mr. Cowin, for whom Mr. Stirling officiated on this occasion), who desired that the body might be removed, and placed in proper order. hlr. Constable repeated that he thought the practice improper, and some others of the Jury expressed the same opinion. Henry Powell was then sworn, and deposed, that he occupied a room on the same floor with the deceased, who had been bedridden for the last five weeks, and could not get out of bed without assist ance. Witness saw her on Sunday afternoon between four and five o'clock, and then fed her with a spoon. She was so weak that he could not understand what she said, Wiliam the motion of her lips it appeared as if she said, " God bless you." About twelve o'clock that night witness felt himself shaken by his wife, and on awakening heard' Brown, the deceased's husband, exclaim " Oh, you wicked woman I you wicked woman l" Witness lounediately ran to Brown's room, where he found the deceased lying net her back in bed will her throat cut. Witnesa asked for the razor which had done the deed, and on its being produced from a drawer by a little boy, son of the deceased, witness threw it against the grate. and broke it, exclaiming, " It shall never cut another thfoat." Witness was so agitated at the time, that he cannot say whether Brown spoke or not, nor whether thee* was blood upon the razor. The witness deposed also, that the deceased, during her illness, had been treated with great tenderness by her husband, who pro vided every thing for her which his means would allow of. To questions by the Jury, he replied, that he did not know that Brown was taken to the watchhouse in consequence of any charge made against him. Could give no reason fur his being taken to the watchhouse. Never saw any reason to think that the deceased was in an unsound state of mind. Mr. James Fernier, of No. al, Crown-street, surgeon, was called to the deceased about half-pant twelve on Sunday night. He found an incision of about an inch and a half in the windpipe. She appeared to have bled very little. In the emaciated state in which the deceased apnea*, a small effusion of blood would be sufficient to cease death. lie thought that if the wound had been indicted the by a stronger hand than deceased's, it would bare been dons more effectually. Diary Ann Powell, wife of the first witness, confirthed his testi. mony, and added that within the last six months the deceased had buried two children, which appeared to have preyed noon her mind. On the occasion of burying the last she expressed a hope that in six months more she herself would be in the grave with it. This witness sal‘o deposed to the kindness with winch the de ceased during her illness had been treated by her husband. IVm. Brown, aged twelve years, son of the deceased, slept with his brother, in the same room with his father and mother. On Staple) , he went to bed between nine and ten o'clock. His father came home that eveniag, not sober, but not very drunk, and laid across the bed. lie was asleep before witness went to bed. Witness the night heard his father say, " Oh, you wicked woman, what hare you done to yourself?" Witness, on being asked for the razor, took it out of the drawer and gave it to Powell. Ilia Im.her and mother did not quarrel while she was ill. Another little boy, brother of the last witness who, on account ' of his tender age, was not sworn, stated that his mother desired him to fetch the razor, to cut her corns. He gave her the razor shut up, and afterwards, at her desire, gave her the eon (which wa, found by her side in bed). 41). A witchmsn, named Johnson, deposed that hearing the cry of women on Sunday night, he went to Brown's room, and found the deceased in bed, quite dead. He aftertrards thought it his duty to take Brown to the watchhouse. female named Preston spoke to the good understanding which subsisted between the deceased and her husband, who crying on Sunday evening in the presence of witness, asked his wife, who then appeared to be in a dying state, if he hail not believed to her like a husband? She replied "Yes;" and extended her hand to him. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned their verdict— " Died by her own act, in a state of mental aberration." :sow. ST.

Slit—l think it right to lay before you, for the information of the subscribers, the following communication received from a very respectable quarter, dated Rostock, 27th June. A very scandalous transaction has Just been discovered here. A merchant of Wismar, of the name of I. E. Engel, paused to be chartered her:, through Mr. M. Bendfelt, the ship Doro.hes Re gina, to load wool for London, and Captain Jurgen', of thin place, was appointed to the command of her. Eighty bales of wool ac. rordingly arrived and were shipped, but the cargo not being com pleted therewith, other respectable Rostock houses were induced to ship biter goods by her. The bills of lading for this wool were signed on the 11th inst., and it is said that Engel has drawn 8001. on account thereof. But on stowing away the wool in the vessel one of the bales bunt. and was found to contain nothing but the offal of wool, hay, straw, dung, atones, and other filth. Mr. Bendrelt, imme diataly on this discovery, issued a circular, requesting every mer chant to advise his triends in Hamburgh, london, &c. of the fraud, in order to avoid further mischief. Engel has been arrested hers, and it is reported he has confessed that the supercargo who was to go in the vessel, and whose name is Roloff, was to have bored and sunk her. This scheme is however now eompletely,frustrated, and the underwriters have escaped a heavy loss. Captain Jurgeos and his mate made the discovery.

Yes'erday afternoon the inhabitants residing in Tothilhotriset were again alarmed in consequence of a body of smoke issuing from the extensive tea-warehouse of Mr. Oeort',e Wilson, who lives im mediately The mass of smoke was so intense, that the gteatest fears were apprehended for the safv.y of the premises, and his bu siness instantly stopped. Mr. Wilson called in the assistance of several firemen on the spot, and with them he proceeded to ascer tain where the fire originated, r.nd although enveloped iu the smoke, it was discovered to proceal from a flue that ran into his front warehouse, the wall of which was broken into, and the firemen be- in amply supplied with buckets of water, in which Mr. Wilson to I a leading part, while the other portion of his domestics were busily engaged in removing Ma efesnaire and valuable stock to a place of security, they very fortunately succeeded in preventing the destructive clement from gaining the slightest ascendancy ; and after an immense quantity of water had been thrown into the flue, all fears subsided. On the previous evening, about half-past seven o'clock, a ro t !true of smoke was discovered to pooled from the house of Mr. ! Smith. a woollen-draper, next dear to Mr. Wilson's house, and for some time the firemen could not ascertain from whence it came ; at length a fireman, named Covlapon. discovered it in a dead flue, that ran near the staircase of Mr. Mnith's house, and adjoins to that of Mr. Wilms:. The staircase was instantly broken down, and on forcing the brick-work of the flue, a body of fire was discovered, but by the immediate perseverance of the firemen, with the Phenix, (!lobe, and Westminster engines, it was soon got under, but not without doing considerable injury. About three o'clock, as the lire had subsided on the premises of Mr. Wilson, the firemen were sent fur to that of Mr. Brookes, a iiardwareman, which joins Mr. Wilson's on the other side, stating that the tire had also CMeTed those premises, which are also very extensive, and the inmates became greatly alarmed, their fears, however, were soon abated on the firemen informing them they need not apprehend any danger. Mr. Wilson's loss is trilling comparative to his immense stock in the warehouse; and Mr. Brookes has not suffered any material damage. The way in which these subsequent fires took place le supposed to have among by some burning flakes from 'Tuesday's morning fire falling into the chimneys. I Yesterday, a subscription was sat on foot fee the relief of the poor uninsured sufferers on that occasion, when in it few hours, it is gratifying to state Mtn near MN. was collected, among whom was Mr. Wilson, also, a greet sufferer, the sum Of two guineas.
