THU MARKETS.-(THIS-DAY). CORN-EXCHANGE. Th e arrivals of last week consisted chiefly of a large quantity of Foreign Wheat and of English and Irish Oats. This morning there is not much Corn of any kind fresh up. The changeable state of the weather causes good Wheat to be firm at Friday's prices, so that the trade may be considered Is. to 2s. per quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. Barley meets a very dull sale at last quotations. Beans sad Pease may each be bought rather cheaper than on this day se'nnight. The quantity of Oats for sale is txmiderible, the quality being chiefly ordinary ; good Parcels are no lower, but other sorts may be reported Is. per quarter cheaper than last Monday. The weather pre vents any alteration in the top price of Flour at present. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wlmat, Red (old) -8. Beans , Small (new)... 40s. 445. Whited).. I Red .

The word of command was given by Colonel Keate. The Battalion, having arrived on its original ground of formation, proceeded to perform a variety of manseuvres and movements; the wheelings were correct, the marching in line, in column, and in echellon, was excellent ; the firing by platoons and grand divisions was compact; the formation of squares, and the firing in squares, the front rank kneeling, against a supposed attack of cavalry, were admirably and rapidly executed ; the reformation of squares into open columns, the counter-marching, and the counter movements, were performed with great celerity and preci The Light Company was thrown forward in chain to cover the movements and the advance of the battalion against an enemy ; the firing was kept up with great spirit and effect. The Battalion, after the Light Company bad retired from the knit, marched in open column to its griginal ground, ,and wheeled into line. Lord Hill then rode forward to Colonel Keate, and ex pressed to him, in unqualified terms, his admiration of the distinguished manner in which the movements and ma nceuvres were performed by the battalion. Lord Hill, accompanied by his staff, then left the ground.

LITERATURE. - LIFE OF LOCKE, BY LORD KING. LownoN : 1829. Among the first and foremost of our true philosophers—of those who gave themselves up wholly to the discovery and propagation of truth, and its disentanglement from error and the deceitful snares of the fancy,—is John Locke. He it was %%Ito beyond any man that ever existed (with the single exception of Bacon) shook the tyranny of the old schools of logic and philo sophy ; overthrew the casuistries, the subtilties, the small, teazing, mindless, but still imposing subtleties of Aristotle and that class of rhetori cians; and established knowledge on the immut able basis of truth. To effect this great but noise less triumph his chief engine was common sense. The rams' horns with which this Joshua of true philosophy blew down the Jericho of scholastic bigotry, was reason—cool,dispassionate, unprejudiced reason. He had little assistance from the fancy, still less from the feeling ; he appealed not to the interests, he excited not the passions, he enlisted not the vanities of man kind on his side ; he addressed himself solely to their good sense; and though he spoke to them from the elevated heights ofhis own intellect, took care that the distance at which he stood above them, should not impair the power of his exhortation. In reading the works of Locke, the first thing that strikes us—and this remark applies particularly to the valuable volume before us—is the very unassuming character of his mind. Though conversant with the abstrusest points of, thought and argument ; though full to overflowing with the knowledge, both natural and acquired, that can grace the man and elevate the scholar; though a politician, a philosopher, a physician, he never seems to be aware of his extraordinary faculties; but suffers his learning to fall naturally and noiselessly from him like the stealthy un ostentatious droppings of a mild summer's dew. His very style is humble and Quaker-like in its bearing ; replete with thought, but so easy in the arrangement of that thought ; so natural, so unforced in the style of its premises, so correct and so convincing in its conclusions; that none but the ‘, deaf adder that stoppeth her ear" can fail to be persuaded by it. One thing, however, Locke wants, and that is earnestness. He is never impassioned—sel dom impressive; he never touches the heart and the imagination like Jeremy Taylor, or fills and sublimes them like Sir Thomas Brown ; but pleads the cause of truth by the unadorned energies of his common sense. He has a grave and quiet dignity about him from which he never departs, a presence of mind and ready furnished aptitude of thought and expression that never even for an instant desett him. When we speak of Locke's want of earnest ness, we are far from imputing it to him as any very serious defect. A more impassioned style might have given him too much the ap pearance of a hot-headed partizan, and interfered with that clearness and distinctness of expres sion which we now so much admire in his works. Had he given way to his feelings, or sunk the philosopher in the man, though he might still have been the champion of truth and proclaimed her sovereignty to the world, he would never have procured her Coronation in the Temple of his own erection. It was his busi ness to overthrow prejudice and build up reason on the ruins, and this he felt he could best do by appealing to the cool undisturbed common sense, rather than to the impetuous undiscrimi-1 nating passions of society. The Memoirs and Journals of this great man, with which Lord King has here presented us, abound in entertainment and instruction. As the first, though scanty, are well known, we shall forbear saying any thing of them, further than that they present us with the lively image of a quiet unassuming scholar, whom circum stances drew forth for a time into public life, among scenes wholly foreign to his inclinations. With respect to the Journals, they consist for the most part of observations, philosophical, zoo logical, literary, and theological, made during a short excursion to the Continent. These, as might be expected from such a writer as Locke, are acute—learned—practical—taking little for granted, and every where evidencing originality. Among them at intervals are scattered reflections on metaphysical subjects, hints for the formation of character, and fragments of essays, one of which, entitled " Study," is a perfect gem, being full of thought, the result of experience_on those points which most interest mankind. In the course of this able treatise, Locke, after discri minating between false and true knowledge, and inculcating his favourite notion of ideas in preference to words, puts forth the follow ing remark with respect to study, and the way it should be followed up :—" The mind has sympathies and antipathies as well as the body ; it has a natural preference often of one study before another. It would be well if one had a perfect command of them ; but generally it is better to follow the bent and tendency of the mind itself." Sir W. Scott, in an unpublished letter (which we have seen) to a young man who requested his advice, has pre cisely the same remark as Locke. "It matters little," says this immortal novelist, " what you read ; that, perhaps, is the best, for which your inclination most fits you." We have instanced these two remarks, not so much from any particu lar originality they possess, as because we conceive ' it a curious circumstance that two such oppo site writers as Scott and Locke ; the one the champion of imagination—the other its distrust ing foe ; the one wild, irregular, discursive—the other cold, precise, logical—should yet agree on the same important subject of education. Passing by the merits of Locke as a philoso pher, which it would now be idle and superfluous to insist upon, we come to him as a humourist. In this character he is probably new to most of our readers ; we, therefore, prefer exhibiting him in it. In a letter dated Cleve, 1665, ye have the following amusing sketch of a stiff-necked Pres byterian Parson. It is manifestly drawn from the life : " I met lately, accidentally, with a young sucking divine, that thought himself no small champion, who, as if he had been some knight-errant, bound by oath to bid battle to all corners, first accosted me in courteous voice ; but the customary salute being over, I found myself as saulted 'Host furiously, and heavy loads of arguments fell upon me. I, that expected no such thing, was fain to guard myself under the trusty broad shield of ignorance, and only now and then returned a blow by way of enquiry : and, by this Parthian way of flying, defended myself till passion and want of breath had made him weary, and so we came to an accommodation ; though, had he had lung s enough, and I no other use of my ears, the combat might have lasted (if that may be called a combat, übi to cedes ego vapulo lantern) as long as the wars of Troy, and the end of all had been like that, nothing but some rubbish of divinity as useless and incoherent as the ruins the Greeks left behind them. This was a probationer in theology, and I believe (to keep still to my errantry) they are bound to show their prowess with some valiant unknown, before they can be dubbed, and receive the dignity of the order. I cannot imagine why else Le should set upon me, a poor innocent Wight, who thought nothing of a combat, and de sired to be peaceable, and was too far from my own dung hill to be quarrelling ; but it is no matter, there were no wounds made but in Priscian's head, who suffers much in this country." The following description of a poet, dated also from Cleve, is a masterly specimen of quiet easy humour. Who would expect so much arch pleasantry from the grave champion of Tole ration ? " When I left Oxford, I thought for awhile to take leave of all University affairs, and should have least expected to have found any thing of that nature here at Cleve of any part of the world. But do what I can, lam still kept in that tract. I no sooner was got here, but I was wel comed with a divinity disputation, which I gave you an account of in my last; I was no sooner rid of that, but I found myself up to the ears in poetry, and overwhelmed in Helicon. I bad almost or rather have been soused in the Reyne, as frozen as it was, for it could not have been more cold and intolerable thah the poetry I met with. The remembrance of it puts me in a chill sweat, and were it not that I am obliged to recount all particulars, being un der the laws of an historian, I should find it very diffieult to 'recall to mind this part of my story : .but having armed myself with a good piece of bag pudding, which bears a mighty antipathy to poetry, and having added thereto half a dozen glasses of daring wine, I thus proceed :--My invi sible master, therefore, having mounted me, rode nge out to a place, where I must needs meet a learned bald in a threadbare coat, and a hat, that though in its younger days it had been black, yet it was grown grey with the labour of its master's brains, and his hard study or time had changed the colour of that as well as his master's hair. His breeches had the marks of antiquity upon them, were borne, I believe, in the heroic times, and retained still the gallantry of that age, and had an antipathy to base pelf. Stockings I know not whether he had any, but I am sure his two shoes had but one heel, which made his own foot go as uneven as those of his verses. He was so poor, that he had not so much as a rich face, nor the promise of a carbuncle in it, so that I must needs say that his outside was poet enough. After a little discourse, wherein be sprinkled some bays on our British Druid Owen, out lie drew from under his coat a folio of verses; and that you may be sure they were excellent, I must tell you that they were acrostics upon the name and titles of the Elector of Brandenburg. I could not escape reading of them : when I had done, I endeavoured to play the poet a little in com mending them, but in that he outdid me clearly, praised faster than I could, preferred then► to Lucan and Virgil, showed me where his muse flew high, squeezed out all the verjuice of all his conceits, and there was not a secret co nundrum which he laid not open to me; and in that little talk I had with him afterwards, he quoted his own verses a dozen times, and gloried in his works. The Poem was designed as a present to the Elector, but I being Owen's countryman had the honour to see them before the Elector, which he made me understand was a singular courtesy, though I believe one hundred others had been equally favoured. I told him the Elector must needs give him a considerable reward ; he seemed angry at the men tion of it, and told me he had only a design to show his affection and parts, and spoke as if he thought himself fitter to give than to receive any thing from the Elector, and that he was the greater person of the two; and in deed, what need had he of any gift, who had all Tagus and Pactolus in his possession? could make himself a Tempe when he pleased, and create as many Elysiums as he had a mind to. I applauded his generosity and great mind, thanked him for the favour he had done me, and at lastgot out of his hands." Our limits prevent us from quoting Locke's account of the Elector's Christmas feast at Cleve, where he says, "as for the meats, they were all so disguised, that I should have guessed they had rather designed a mass than a meal, and had a mind rather to pose than feed us. But the cook made their metamorphoses, like Ovid's, where the change is usually into the worse." One thing, however, we must not omit noticing ; it is really very important, being neither more nor less than Locke's definition of ane plus ultra luxury. " Green beans dressed in gravy." Hear this, Ude ! Hear this, shade of the lamented Kitchiner, thou whose gastro nomic eloquence was so convincing that it could persuade a goose to roast itself! For the true simple munditiis, Locke's dish certainly bears the palm away from all our modern innovations. It is anti-pythagortean in its philosophy, and primaeval as Chaos, in its simplicity. We should observe, that thoughout his Journal, Locke invariably speaks well of the Ca tholic priests. Alluding to his letters, Lord King observes, " there exist several, dated Cleve, but as they relate to events no longer of any importance, it is unnecessary to give their contents, however amusing the Ger man description of the coyness and coquetry of a German Elector and his Minister, on those truly national and interesting ques tions, soldier-selling and subsidies." We regret that Lord King has omitted these letters. From the specimens we have already given, we are quite sure that our readers will be anxious to know more of Locke's humour ; besides, the undress of such a mind is always an interesting subject for reflection. With the sole exception of this blemish, Lord King's volume has given us the greatest satisfaction. The Journal has been selected with consummate tact, and the narrative is kept up with observations and inci dents thrown in by the Noble Biographer, which evince an extensive and intimate acquaintance with the literature and politics of the disgraceful times of Charles 11. Altogether the work is a valuable addition to the staple intellect of the country ; and were the article on " Study" alone considered, would deserve the amplest circula tion. We trust, however, that Mr. Colburn will give it to the world in a more accessible form. At present it is beyond the reach of most scholars. SMART'S LOGIC. LONDON. 1829.

We understand that White-headed Bob takes a Benefit in Birmingham to-morrow at Reynold's Sporting Gallery, when it is expected that a match will be made between him and Sampson.

Beardsworth's Repository, but a very superior display of scientific finish is anticipated by Bob, who in tends to make the thing very select. GRAND AMATEUR ROWING MATCH FOR ONE THOUSAND SOVEREIGNS. The great amateur match which was made by Mr. Osbaldeston, the celebrated shot, on the part of the London amateurs belonging to the Arrow Club, and Colonel Stan don on that of the Guards amateurs, for 5001. aside, to row with the tide, from Vauxhall-bridge, through the centre arch of Kew-bridge, took place on Saturday afternoon. The interest excited by the match along the whole line of the river, was, perhaps, without precedent, and no sooner were the preliminaries settled between Mr. Osbaldeston and the Colonel, than both parties commenced active prepara tions for the contest. In about ten days, a finely constructed wherry, 37 feet 11 inches long, was built by Sullivin, of Mil Thank, for the Guards gentlemen, and on a coat of lead coloured paint being put on her, she was launched and training commenced. The fast rowing boat the Arrow was put into proper trina for the London amateurs, who took every precaution which the occasion required. Four, out of eight gentlemen, were picked from the Guards crew, and the boats were manned as follows:-- Guards Amateurs. I The Arrow Club. Captain Bentinck Viscount Chetwynd Lord Douglas Colonel Hobhouse Brumwell, steerer. Messrs. Slader Bay ford Cannon Osbaldeston Mitchell, steerer. Some time previous to the start, notwithstanding the pitiless storm, a number of Noblemen and Gentlemen, dis tinguished amateurs, congregated at Vauxhall, and among the numerous Companies' boats, we observed, the Emerald, Leander, Corsair (Mr. Slader's boat), Trinity, Union, William and Frederick, and many others, several of which were manned by crack watermen. About a quarter past three o'clock, the Arrow gentlemen from Bishop's, Stan gate, and the Guards from Whitehall, pulled up to Vaux hall. Both of the wager boats received every possible at tention, as to condition for the occasion, and a steel rudder of very light construction was made for the Arrow. The Guards having taken their station from a pier of the bridge, on the Surrey side, and the London amateurs from one on the Middlesex side, at precisely a quarter to four they started. The Arrow took the lead, closely followed by their opponents, and the rain having ceased, the match created great interest, and was followed up the river by a vast number of four, six, eight, and ten-oared boats. On arriving at the Red-house the Arrow was leading the way in gallant style, and on shooting Battersea-bridge, they were about four boats' lengths in advance. Up to Ham mersmith the struggle was great and interesting, the Arrow gradually going a-head. From Hammersmith to the place of destination, between twenty and thirty gentlemen who had assembled on horseback, accompanied the head most boat along the towing-path, and the scene which pre sented itself was of an extremely animating description. The Arrow amateurs finally arrived at Kew fifty seconds before their opponents, accomplishing the distance, which is upwards of ten miles, in one hour and three minutes. A considerable number of spectators, among whom were many of rank, assembled on the Kew-bridge, and the side of the river. The London gentlemen proceeded up to Richmond, where they dined. Many thousands have changed hands on this occasion. r .CHE DOG Flsn.—That dread and abhor rence of the fishermen, the dog-fish, has again made his appearance in the Firth in great numbers.—Scotsman. The breed of the partridge is likely to be very great this season ; there have been seen many covies al ready on wing, and the dry weather and the backward grasq crop will prevent many nests from being destroyed. Hants Advertiser. On Tuesday last an inquest took place at Milltown Malbay, Clare, in Ireland, on the body of DANIEL NEILAN, who came by his death from a gun shot, fired by a police-officer. The Jury returned a ver dict accordingly. A CORBIE DEFEATED.—A correspondent travelling two days ago from Edinburgh to Bridgehouse, witnessed a curious scene by the road side, in the neigh bourhood of Sillarburn. A strong bird, of the Corbie or " Hoodie-craw" species, engaged in a regular attack upon a patch of bent, defended by a pair of partridges, and the retreat, no doubt, of their young brood lately escaped from the shell. Incapable of gaining his end by a direct assault, the destroyer had recourse to stratagems. He alighted, in the first place, in the grass field at a short distance from the spot of bent, where he was instantly followed by the cock partridge running, and in a very little by the hen also, by both of whom he was forcibly assailed. The wily thief having lured them from their fastness, and exhausted their wind, forthwith teok wing, and alighted among the bent. The parent birds took wing also, and in a moment placed themselves in front of him in the attitude of defiance. Baffled again, he had re course to the former method of provoking them to follow him to some distance from the bent, and engage him in battle. The birds " nothing loth" ran upon him at full speed, when a severe round took place, after which the Corbie, as before, made his way to the sacred inclosure. The defence, however, was maintained with equal re solution, till the Corbie, finding at last that nothing could be made of it, shamefully gave way, leaving the field in possession of the delighted little victors.—Scotsman. SPIRIT Or THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We publish a statement - last - quarter's: revenue, which shows a considerable falling off •- as compared with the corresponding quarter .of.! 1828. The chief decline is in the CustomS the next in point of magnitude is exhibited by the Ex cise. The price of corn, aggravated as it has been by the Legislature demands more money for mere bread, and of course leaves less for luxuries. The growth of foreign rivalship, as respects ma nufactures, affects our imports, and with them the produce of the Custom-house.—Times. The state of Mexico, according to our city intelligence, may be characterized as a mixture Of bankruptcy and political imbecility, involving in it a constant exposure to the worst chances of daily revolution. The revolution which sepa rated the British colonies of North America from Great Britain, left the people still in pos session of, and thoroughly wedded to, an an cient system of laws, usages, and municipal re gulations, which provided for all the internal wants of society, by determining the relations between every citizen and his fellows. The frame and form of provincial authority remained completely unaltered. The delegation of dif ferent classes of representatives to a general Congress, and the appointment of one high officer and his assistants, standin g in pretty much the same character to th a t Congress as the state governors had done to their respec tive local legislatures, were ingrafted upon the old colonial system, and filled up the gap which had been created by the expulsion of the British Parliament, the British Sovereign, and his ser vants, from all interference with the concerns of the United States. Thus something was added to the former condition of things ; but the essence remained-=representative government, and power dispersed among a people who were universally familiar with its forms, its exercise, and operation. • That which now constitutes the tranquillity and pros . perity of the United States is the, free constitution of England, in. the maxims and habits of which : they were echicated ; and upon which, „in their extraordinary no less than'their every day emergencies, they rely as a - safe and unerring standard of principles, re sources, and expedients. The Spanish colonies had no healing nor protecting power to substi tute for the devouring one which they shook off: The worst of all freemen is an emancipated slave, and the most dangerous of guides is an abstract notion of liberty, for him who has seen nothing but pure despotism, in practice. We can hardly wonder that the people of Buenos-Ayres or of Mexico should be unable to agree amongst them selves upon measures of state policy, of which the consequences are only known to them through the opposite representations of individuals ready to convulse the community, so each of them can but destroy his rival and raise himself to greatness, however short-lived. It is to be feared that in none of these new Republics are materials at present to be found for steadily administering the powers, observing the obligations, and enduring the restraints of a representative and accountable Government. In Colombia, the assumption of the supreme authority by Bolivar has been the sole temporary remedy within reach of the inha bitants for misrule, anarchy, and general misery, resulting from an incurable want of virtue and wisdom throughout all classes of the population. In Mexico, perhaps in Buenos Ayres—almost to a certainty in Peru, and long since (the thing has been proved) in Chile—the vacuum caused by the an nihilation of Spanish power seems incapable of being filled up by some firm concentration of force for the creation of an executive Govern ment, vigorous and impartial in its domestic po licy, and temperate and upright towards foreign states. The only condition more deplorable than that into which their recent distractions have thrown these unhappy provinces, would be a return to the Spanish yoke ; and that is, for tunately, an event which no combination of cir cumstances can henceforth accomplish.—/bid. There are few well-informed persons at the West end of the Town who do not know the authors of the reports respecting the Lord Chan cellor, which form the foundation of the present prosecution. And yet it would be impossible for the Noble and Learned Lord to fasten the slander on the distinguished authors. Jean Jaques Rousseau, in one of his works, with a view of showing the advantage of a visit to Paris, observes that the publications of the day com• municate by no means the most interesting and valuable portion of the information in circula tion, and that much might be learned in conver• sation, of which the mere reader of books could not have even a suspicion. As far as scandal is concerned, it may be said with justice that the Press of London can give but a very inadequate idea of what is in circulation at any one time and therefore the Provincials who are fond o that commodity would do well to trust to othe sources. We do not mean to say that a tittle o that slander is to be believed ; but merely tha the responsibility of the Press will never alloy the publication of what does circulate. Sir Jame Scarlett inveighed against the Press on accoun of the article in the Atlas more than he ought t t have done. The truth is, that that article wa serviceable instead of being injurious to th Lord Chancellor. It enabled his Lordship t grapple with slander which otherwise would hay . eluded him, and to do justice to himself at th expense of the man who was simple enough t' give him the lever of which he was in want. 11 . enables him also to glance at the moral assassin who have been so long stabbing him with nu punity. Sir James ought to compliment an portion of the Press when he finds it simpl enough to play his game in this way.--Alornzu, Chronicle. We had no intention, when we first notice Mr. Wray's pamphlet, to enter so deeply int Church matters as we have done ; but we ha., been led on step by step to the point at whiir we have arrived. The merit', however, of o_ labours, such as they are, belongs exclusively the Bishop of Lincoln and Archdeacon Go, dard. The Clerical Guide will be found useful instructor to those who wish to undo, stand Church affairs. We find from it that t. Bishop of Lincoln, up to the end of 1828, K. only four opportunities of presenting to Livin, from the patronage of his Bishopric ; three ; such presentations have made pluralists; t , other was given (a fat one) to a relate, (Mortlock). By a minute inspection we fi r that Dr. Goddard has not had full justice do to him in our last. He not only holds an Are; deaconry, a Prebendary, a Rectory, two Vie ages, and a Royal Chaplainship, (over a: above his pension as an ex-Civilian), but a, an Examining Chaplainship (a good birth any one man) to the Bishop of Rochester. T will, perhaps, explain the fact of his doing for his other six Clerical Preferments no duty I yondof his relaxing i from h visiting Lincolnshire at his leisure, arduousisure,ancl i necessity hours at Kew It would be injustice to the ; t.) thi cor leL
