THU VIARKETS..--(THIS DAY). CORN-EXCHANGE. The supplies of Wheat and Oats last week were very large, and of other Grain moderate. There was a good quantity of Flour, including 3300 barrels from America. The changeable state of the weather causes more money to be asked for Wheat, and such samples as are dry and good obtain a trifling advance on the terms of this day se'nnight ; other qualities meet a dull sale, and are unal tered in value. Barley maintains the quotations of last Monday. Beans of good quality are rather dearer. Pease are unaltered. There is much difficulty in supporting the prices even of fine Oats, as the quantities for sale are now so large, and for any parcels that are not heavy and sweet the rates taken to-day are rather lower. There is not much doing in the Flour trade, and prices are un varied. PRICKS ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) —s. —s. Beans, Small (new)...

LITERATURE. TRAVELS TO AND FROM CONSTANTINOPLE, BY CAPTAIN C. C. FRANKLAND, R.N. LoNnoN. 1829. In the year 1827, and just after the destruc tion of the Janissaries by Sultan Mahmoud, Captain Frankland, struck, as he tells us, by an admiration of that great Sovereign, resolved on paying him a visit, or rather on paying a visit to Constantinople, for the purpose of ascertaining fir himself the character and resources of the Turks. He accordingly left Vienna on the 24th of March, and on reaching the Austrian fortress of Temeswar, in Hungary, was astonished to find neither sentinel nor watchman at the gate. This struck him as being an unprece dented circumstance, more especially as Temes war is " one of the strongest fortresses of the Austrian Empire." With some difficulty the postillion contrived to climb over the barricade and awaken the corps de garde, who ultimately consented to let in the travellers. On quitting Temeswar, he made at once for the Carpathian mountains which he crossed,but not without con siderable labour, owing to the almost inaccessible quality of the roads, the frequency of the preci pices, the perpetual rains, and loose disjointed soil. These mountains have little to recommend them, whether in the way of scenery or situa tion ; they are said, however, to abound in streams of gold dust, and ought surely to have something good about them by way of counter balance to their atrocious 'roads and passes. Throughout the neighbourhood the people, we should observe, speak Latin, not the pure idiomatic Latin that we recognise as the lan guage of the old Romans, but a mixed spurious dialect, made up partly of French, party of Ger man, with here and there a Turkish phrase thrown in by way of a euphonious variety. Of Bucharest, the capital of Wallachia, Captain Frankland speaks in terms of praise. It is, it seems, famous for female beauty—a striking re commendation, and one that renders it well worth a visit :- 4' Bucharest stands upon a small river, called the Dom• nitza, which joins the river Argish, a little to the south east of Bucharest, and falls into the Danube below Giur gevo. We now returned to our hospitable friend, Dr. Griffiths, who had invited some of the boyards, with their ladies, to come and meet us for the evening. One of these ladies was a most bewitching and fascinating crea ture, with a fine classic Greek countenance, eyebrows arched like half-moons, eyes which beamed like the ga zelle's, and seemed to melt into softness; hands and arms fit for a statuary to model from ; and her pretty bust en veloped in such a delicious little Greek jacket of black velvet, embroidered with gold, that I felt it worth while to have come all the way from Vienna to have had the pleasure of beholding her. Her name is Marli Ballac ciano ; !ter conversation was lively and agreeable, and her manners highly polished and lady-like. " The females of Bucharest are renowned for their beauty and their attractions. I felt that it might be a dangerous place to remain long in ; but regretted that the morrow would, in all probability, hurry me away into a country where I should see no more pretty faces, and en joy no longer the sweets of female society. We returned to our hotel at eleven o'clock, fatigued, and glad to get into a clean, comfortable bed. " We learnt from our friends that Bucharest contained about seventy or eighty thousand inhabitants, three hun dred and sixty churches, and twenty or thirty convents, monasteries, and nunneries. The number of the reli gious professions seems to bear an immense and fatal dis proportion to that of the laical. At night we were lighted through the streets by men bearing torches made of the pitch pine tree ; indeed, they were merely long pieces of this fir lighted at the end, and. yielding a most prodigious blaze. These rude and primitive torches gave very much the appearance of demons to the ragged wretches who bore them. The strange mixture of Oriental and Euro pean costumes and manners, which strikes the stranger at every step in Bucharest, makes it a very interesting place to the picturesque traveller." After leaving Bucharest, our traveller comes upon several Wallachian villages ; " about five o'clock we resumed our seats upon our trusses of hay, and drove rapidly towards the Danube, passing by some villages of underground cottages, whose exterior presented the appearance ofso many dung-hills. In many parts of Hungary and Transylvania these miserable abodes of wretched ness are to be met with." At Guirgevo, which Captain Frankland describes as being a strong fortification ; he was struck with the alacrity with which the Turkish soldiers pursued the new system of discipline. They sub mitted to it as to a discipline which they felt would carry considerable national advantages along with it. This remark is in perfect accord ance with what Mr. Madden says on the same subject ; and when two enlightened travellers agree, their opinions on the point of agreement are entitled to the greatest respect. Both con cur in stating that the new military regulations will at no distant period render the Turks in finitely more formidable than they have ever yet shown themselves. Shumla, which is called the Thermopylx of Bulgaria, Captain Frankland considers " a fortress untenable in the hands of European troops." It is an extensive town, straggling and walled, and carries on a consider able commerce in braziery and clothing. The country round it is cheerful, almost beautiful, and on the sides of the sandy hills which nearly surround it, there are great quantities of vineyards. ' On passing through Bulgaria, Capt. Frankland was much struck with the hatred that the pea . sentry every where evinced towards their " Os . manlee oppressors." They are, however, a cau ltious, timid set of people, and fear to evince :,0"; this hatred otherwise than by signs. . The pas sage over the Balkan mountains our traveller cp found a work of time and trouble. The diffi. culties, however, are far, very far, from being in superable, either to an individual or an army. — The whole of this country, that is to say, Rou melia and Bulgaria, abounds in buffaloes. These may be rendered very serviceable for agri cultural and other purposes ; their flesh, how ever, it seems, is bad,—a point on which Capt. Frankland is decidedly at issue with the Ame rican novelist Cooper, who describes the buf falo's hump as a luxury worthy of a London Alderman. After travelling a few days longer through a country the very reverse of the ro mantic or picturesque, Captain Frankland comes in sight of the sea of Marmora, at which he sets up a shout as enthusiastic as did the Ten Thou sand Greeks, when, from the brow of some lofty mountain, they first beheld a glimpse of the same welcome object. The approach to Con stantinople, from whatever direction beheld, teems with beauties, Capt. Frankland was, of course, in extacies with it, and describes his feel ings with the grace and elegance of an accom- plished writer. The following is an affecting description of one of the burying-grounds near Constantinople Nothing can be more delightful than the sensations created by the gloomy shades of these cypress forests, filled as'they are by the striking-looking and picturesque tombstones and sarcophagi of the Turks, while every now and then you come suddenly upon some solemn-looking solitary Moslem on his knees at the foot of the tomb, perhaps of some dear wife, child, or relative ; are witness to the tears which trickle down his beard, and hear the sighs and even groans which issue from a breast which seems to struggle for the mastery over its tender (and, in his eyes, perhaps unmanly) feelings. Frequently have I found the mother and the widow paying these sad tributes to their departed idol, and offering up their fervent prayers to Allah and to Mahomet fur the happiness in Paradise of the soul of their beloved, and carefully watering the little bouquets of emblematic flowers with which they ornament the grave. " The Turks, although barbarous, are remarkable for their tenderness to their females and their offspring ; and while they visit infidelity and disobedience with death, they are generally kind and caressing to the faithful wife and the dutiful child. Again, at mid-day and sunset, the Turks in groups, under the deep shadows of the cypresses, spread their shawls and cloaks upon the ground, and re main ter many minutes in fervent prayer, and apparent abstraction from all worldly ideas. Meanwhile, above your head and around you are hundreds of beautiful little turtle-doves, cooing and billing, and adding by their gentle murmurs and the extatic fluttering of their wings, to the witching sensations excited by such delicious scenery, and such a sky and climate as that of Turkey at this period of the year." The population of Constantinople is, says our traveller, and has been since the year 1821, greatly upon the decline. The very spirit of the inhabitants seems to have been struck as with a torpedo, and little remains but their in curable hatred to Christians. This hatred, strange ..to say, is more prevalent among the women than the men, the former of whom, with no less taste than delicacy, frequently honoured our traveller by spitting in his face. The following is a very characteristic scene. Coquetry, it seems, is the chief privilege of women all the world over : " On the 2d of May, while I was employed sketching, sitting down on the road side, over the plain of Do'lna Batchi, a young Turkish female, followed by a black slave and some children, came up to me, and after looking a long while over my shoulder and talking to me, placed herself quite in front of me, and unveiled herself. I hardly dared to take any notice of this manoeuvre, know ing that it is not customary in the East to speak to femaks in public. She, however, wished me to make a drawing of her, and signed to me to do so. I looked stedfastly at her for some time, and began to draw upon a spare piece of paper the outline of her figure. She was so pretty that I could not refrain from kissing the end of my pencil, and blowing the kiss to her, as one does in France to children. Upon seeing this, she coloured up to her fiire head, made a sign as if she would draw a sword, and then a motion with her hand, as though she said, ' if you dare do such a thing, I would have your head cut off.' She was likewise very lavish of her epithets, some of which I had learnt were not very complimentary. " I now began to be apprehensive of the consequences of my indiscretion, and thought it best to continue my sketch of Scutari, and to take no notice of her anger. She waited some time, then went behind me, looked over my shoulder, and seeing that I had ceased to make her portrait, patted me caressingly on the back, spoke softly, and then resumed her place in front of me, hoping that I should finish her likeness; but while this little coquetry was passing between us, some men Turks made their ap pearance, and she took the alarm, and walked hastily away, looking very significantly as she departed. The Turks passed on, and presently came some young girls, who, after looking at my drawings, tipped my hat off my head and spit in my face. I could not bear such uncivil treatment as this, and rose and drove them off, while they began to arm themselves with stones and earth, and to throw at me with all their might. Ido not know how this scene would have ended, had not some Effendi Turks passed by, who seeing bow the matter stood, rebuked the women and drove them away. I was employed in wiping my face, arranging my clothes, and picking up my hat, when some Greek ladies, who had likewise been specta tors of my distress, came up, and consoled me by saying in Italian, ' A Signore! son cattiva gente, gente barbara, canaglia, non turbatevi signore, son maladetta gente senza fede.' " After a few weeks' stay at Constantinople, during which time our traveller made several ex cursions by water up the Bosphorus, which he describes as being one of the most picturesque and enchanting straits in the world, he quitted the Turkish metropolis for Smyrna and the classic regions of Asia Minor, of which he does little more than present us with a sketch. Of a similar slight character is the narrative of his tour through Syria and over the passes of Mount Lebanon, which he describes as being beautiful and romantic in the extreme. The whole: of his second volume, in fact, is taken up with his rambles through this diver sified country, where he encountered the usual vicisitudes of a wanderer, without meeting any thing that should particularly entitle his journey to the pre-eminence over that of former travellers. On the whole, however his volumes teem with interest and instruction— with instruction, because it is impossible not to perceive what strong and new lights they throw upon the present seat of war between the Turks and Russians—as also on the national habits and strength of the former ; and interesting, be cause almost every page presents us with some amusing incident, expressed in the most taste ful and appropriate language. The work, we should add, is embellished with maps, designed in a spirit of first-rate excellence, and with sketches and engravings drawn by Captain Frankland himself on the spot. We have no doubt that ere long it will become eminently popular. THE ARM Y. inction. A Detachment belonging to the 94th Regiment of Foot, embarked on Saturday morning, on board a steam vessel in the river, for Devonport. The Grenadier Company of the 62d Regiment, stationed at Nenagh, was reinforced on Monday, by a subaltern and thirty rank and file from the head-quarters, Templemore. The force now in Nenagh consists of one Captain, three subalterns, six sergeants, and one hundred rank and file, under Capt. Walter. Gen. Sir J. Bing, the Commander of the Forces, and Capt. Lord Hill, of the Sth Hussars, have left Dublin on a military tour to the North of Ireland. The 16th Regiment from Ceylon, and 49th Regiment from the Cape of Good Hope, are now stationed on the Bengal establishment in lieu of the 47th and 59th Regi ments, returned home. In the East India Company's service, since January last, the strength of each Regiment of Light Cavalry was fixed at 400 troopers and 535 horses, each Regiment of Native Infantry 700 privates. Of the Royal Staff Corps five companies are transferred to the Ordnance Department, three ordered to be dis banded, and three ordered to remain on the establishment, viz. :—One Lieutenant-Colonel, three Captains, three First Lieutenants, one Adjutant and Paymaster, one Quarter-Master, one Assistant-Surgeon, one Paymaster- Serjeant, one Quarter-Master-Serjeant, three Serjeants, one Bugler, six Privates Ist class, twelve Privates 2d class, forty-two Privates 3d class. The Non-commissioned Officers and Privates of the 30th Regiment, now at Corfu, have a regular library of 900 volumes attached to their establishment. The Military Pensioners in this district are now being paid off their usual quarterly allowance from Government, through the Excise Office.—Limerick Chronicle, July 4. LONDON GIN-SDOPs.—In year 1735 they amounted to 7,000 ; the licensed shops do not now exceed 7,500. MARGATE, JULY 11. This favourite watering place has now began to resume its usual gaieties and amul,ements. HONE opened his elegant rooms on Sunday evening last with a selection of Sacred Music, from the works of HANDEL and other eminent composers. Our old favourites the Misses DUNN and COLLIER delighted the company by their chaste style of singing, and FOORD'S performance upon the organ gave universal .atisfaction. On Tuesday the first Promenade Concert took place, which was fully and fashionably attended. Among the novelties of the evening Senor HutivrA electrified the audience by his extraordinary per formance upon the Spanish Guitar. On Friday Mr. J. KNIGHT gave his entertainment, entitled, Conver sazione, or two Hours before Supper, which went off with great eclat. The rooms were attended by upwards of three hundred persons, among whom were several of rank and title. Numerous improvements have taken place in this delightful watering-place since last season. LEVY has built a splendid entrance to his Boulevard, in High-street, and made a private entrance communicating with Cecil-square. JOLLY has likewise added to the appearance of his French Bazaar, by some splendid mir rors placed opposite to the entrance. EMANUEL has opened his New Magaaine of Curiosities next to the Post office, with a rich and costly collection. The new Light Rouse at the end of the Pier is nearly completed, and is a beautiful structure. On the Lower Marine Terrace, Mr. WHITE, the builder, has erected twelve houses of the larger class, some of which are now completed and ready for occupation. JULY 12.—Sailed yesterday, at half-past nine, A.M., for Ostend, his Majesty's steam packet, Fury, Captain SHERLOCK, with the mail and despatches, two carriages, and upwards of twenty passengers, among whom were—Lady BACOT, on her return to Brussels, J.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—MISS MELTON appeared for the first time here on Saturday night, as Rosina in the Barber of Sevile. She sang with much sweetness, and was most favourably received' by the audience. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 11.—On Tuesday last, ar rived the Lord Wellington transport from Rio de Janeiro, from which she sailed on the sth of May. This ship was commissioned by Captain Sir J. G. Sinclair, Bart., pursuant to orders, to bring home the officers and crew of the late frigate Doris, whose very detective state would have rendered extremely hazardous a voyage in her round Cape Horn. A considerable quantity of her stores were brought away, and her hull had been hauled on the beach at Valparaiso, where it would be sold. The Welling ton has brought home about 150,0001. sterling in silver and platina. She brings but little political intelligence, and that only conveys the unsatisfactory fact of the Kingdoms and States of South America being not only injudiciously governed, but of those in power being influenced by the worst of principles. The Chilians were in a condition which thrived the most. They had prudently curtailed the power of the Priesthood, by suppressing their Ecclesiastical Establishments ( which had been much abused), the possessions of which had been appropriated to the services of the State. A large tract, formerly the property of the Convent of San Domingo, had realised 600,000 dollars, a large portion of which was on the point of being embarked in the Welling ton, for the payment of the interest on the Chilian Bonds in this country, when an excuse was made that a remittance in bills should be sent in lieu of it. The President and Senate of Chili were about to hold a Congress, at Valparaiso, principally in order to be near the island of Chiloe, at which place the French had made earnest supplications to form a settlement, having, in the first instance, requested permission to land 2,000 armed men. This request had been refused, but the Chilians were still anxious on the subject. No information had of late been re ceived from Dr. Francia, in his kingdom in Paraguay, where he still detained the celebrated French natu- Bonpland, whose ife had vainly endeavoured to reach him : she was obliged to return to Valparaiso, where she is keeping a school. The Menai, 26, Captain Bourchier, was to leave Coquimbo on the 25th of May, with specie, for England ; and the Heron, 18, Captain Duntze, was to follow in August, with what treasure she could collect. The Alert, 18, Captain Burgess, had gone to San Bias, to col lect silver; the Sapphire, 28, Captain Dundas, was at the intermediate ports ; the Forte, 44, Captain Coghian, was at Valparaiso ; she was about to pro ceed to Callao, and would subsequently go to Guay aquil, and break the blockade which the Peruvian squadron was vexatiously endeavouring to effect to annoy the Colombians, but which was in reality a pretext for exactions on the English commerce. The Adventure and Beagle, surveying ships, had finished their survey of Magellan Straits, and in an other season would complete the Charts of the Islands off Cape Horn and Staten Land, and would then proceed to England. 'the Hudson, a first class American frigate, had relieved the Brandywine, which ship is now on her return to New York. The Thetis, 46, Captain Bingham, was lying in the River Plate. Nothing had been heard of the French expedition which left Rio some months since, for the purpose of effecting a settlement on the West Coast of New Holland, either at Swan River, or a few degrees to the Northward of it. The zealous conduct of the squadron on the coast of Africa has been successful in intercepting the Slave trade, in an unprecedented degree. Letters from the Sybille, Commodore Collier, dated April 11th, at sea, communicate the fact of the vessels under this gallant officei's command having captured since December, 1864 slaves. The squadron, within twenty-two months, has retrieved from this state of misery 3679. The Sybille was very healthy, and sailed from Accra a - day or two previously. The Commodore was in active search of the Spanish slave ship, mounting 26 guns, and fitted for carrying 1000 slaves. The Sybille had fitted out a tender, called the Dallas, formerly the Black Nymph. The Primrose arrived at Accra on the 7th of April, all well. The Druid, 46 guns, Capt. Sandom, is hourly ex pected at Spithead, with a million and a half o dollars, and three hundred serons of cochineal on board from Vera Cruz and the Havannah. The Pallas, 42, Capt. Fitzclarence, with the Earl of Dalhousie, and the Bishop of Calcutta, will sail for Calcutta to-morrow. The remainder of the crew of the Doris were paid off this afternoon, in the Wellington transport, on which occasion the Midshipmen of the ship pre sented the First Lieutenant (Dow) with an elegant uniform sword and belt. The petty officers, marines and seamen, also presented him with a gold snuffbox. The free trader Mount Stewart Elphinstone Henning, arrived this morning from the river, to, embark passengers. She will sail to-morrow for Bombay; Lieutenant-General Sir T. S. Beckwith, K.C.B. Commander-in-Chief at that Presidency, takes passage in her. The Lady Nugent, Wimble, for Calcutta, is also here, and will sail to-morrow. The Zenobia, for Ceylon and Calcutta, sailed yes terday. Major-Gen. Sir H. Lowe was among the passengers. PLYMOUTH, JULY 11.—The Fox, 46, frigate, will be launched at Portsmouth about the middle of this month. The Elk, 18, has been removed down Hamoaze, as a breakwater to the works at Devil's Point. The Bramble cutter, 10, Lieut. W. H. Haswell, sailed on Tuesday morning for Portsmouth, with Lieut. Sison, and part of the crew of the late brig Myrtle, who are to be tried at that port for the loss of the said packet-brig. On Saturday, the preventive boat belonging to Cawsand, captured a boat with 103 kegs of run goods, and manned by three men and a boy. In Hamoaze—Britannia, Kent, Trinculo, Nim rod, Lightning, Lyra, Reynard, Snipe tender, and Meteor steamer. In the Sound—Britomart.

Wynn's Courtier, 4 yrs 3 3 Mr. Armstrong's Agitator, 3 yrs 4 2 Soon after the last race was over, a riot, of a formidable and alarming appearance at. the moment, and serious in its consequences, took place, originating, as far as we could learn, in an attempt of two of the constables of this parish to execute a warrant for bastardy on the waiter at one of the booths on the course. The fellow resisted the con stables, and was supported by a numerous party of the crowd, who gathered round them, and being for the most part armed with sticks and bludgeons, proceeded to heat the constables, who were severely mauled by them. This occurred a little below the distance-chair. Several of the police constables and some of the pole-men (especial con ' stables employed to keep the course) hastened to the spot, and the rioters being reinforced by a considerable number of their fellows, together with some ruffians of other classes, of whom there are always a number lurking about when any great assemblage of people takes place, attacked them and beat them severely, knocking them down, cutting and bruising some of them in a dreadful manner, and disarming them of their poles and staves by way of furnishing an ad ditional supply of weapons to their own party. One of the polemen, a special constable from Ormskirk, had his head cut open, and was otherwise so severely injured as to be conveyed in a state of insensibility to the Grand Stand. Mr. Archer, the surgeon, being on the spot, attended him, and found him in a state of imminent danger. He was therefore put to bed, and persons were left in attendance upon him for the night. A strong party of constables were then mustered, who, supported by a number of reso lute young men, attacked the ruffians in a body, routed them, and, pursuing them across the country in every direc tion, to a considerable distance from the course, succeeded in taking 13 of them into custody ; five of whom were lodged in the gaol at Kirkdale, and eight were brought to Liverpool and securely deposited in Bridewell. Several of the constables were severely bruised in the rencontre ; among whom are several of the Liverpool police-officers. On Saturday the prisoners were examined before the Ma gistrates, when 12 of them were ordered to find bail for their appearance to take their trial at the sessions for the county. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING. NEWMARKET, SUNDAY AFTERNOON. This meeting will be confined to three days, being one less than formerly, and does not excite so much interest as usual. The only race of any magnitude or influence is the July stakes, from which the favourites for the Derby and Oaks are generally selected : this year it brings out nine horses engaged in those stakes, including The Mummer, who appears to be the best favourite for the Derby. lie is a very powerful colt, and notwithstanding his being a country horse of a nearly untried blood on the horse's side, and opposed to a numerous lot of Newmarket nags, he continues i►► high favour. Lord Exeter's Sultan colt, and Lord Cleveland's Waltz colt, are also much talked of, and have a good chance, if looking well has any thing to do with it. It is proper to remind subscribers to the Derby and Oaks in 1831 and 1832, that the nominations must be made either at Newmarket or London on or before Satur day next, when the subscription will close; the colts and fillies to be named are now one year old. The produce of mares engaged in the Riddlesworth and other produce stakes for 1832, and the horses to which the marts engaged in the Riddleworth Stakes, 1833, were sent this Spring, must also be declared by Saturday next. Very few arrivals have yet taken place, and the meeting is expected to be flat. An amazing number of horses were out this morning, and all well. About nine or ten ex pected to go for the July Stakes. • - Since writing the above we have ascertained that the following horses are expected to run for the July Stakes Lord Exeter's c. by Sultan--Advance Duke of Grafton's f. by Emilius—Zinc Lord Tavistock's f. by 111orlseo—Butterfly Lord Anson's c. by Morisco—Miniature Sir M.

Lord Jersey's 1 by Comus—Cobweb Lord Grosvenor's E by Little Jb - rin Lord Lowther's Sapio, by iiieolo—Tint Mr. Wilson's Tram, dam by Shuttle. WESTMINSTER BRIDGE. A Correspondent of a Morning Paper says, having observed a paragraph, " that it is usual in large bridges to make the piers hollow, for the pur pose of examining the foundation, and that West minster bridge is now undergoing that examination," I beg to inform you that such representation is an entire mistake. There is no such practice, nor could it be of any use for the alleged purpose. At Westminster bridge one of the octangular turrets has lately been taken down, and shows that the spandrils between the two arches are hollow ; but this is the case with the pier only, and arose from the following circumstances :—Shortly after the bridge was finished in the year 1747, the pier in question was perceived to settle, and continued settling for some months, to such au extent at last, as to make it necessary to take down and, rebuild the two adjoining arches; and as tb‘z.: bed of the river under this pier bad proved itsf.lif to be weaker than under the others, it was deemed proper to lighten, Ole hridge over it as much as possible; and the hollow chamber was formed therein accordingly. But this hollow, so far from going down to the foun dation, does not descend below the springing of the arch, and wits introduced only for the purpose of diminishing the weight, which It does by several hundred tons. FRIENDSHIP.—Dr. JOHNSON most. beauti tiftely remarks, that " When a friend is carried to his grave, we at once find excuses for every wealtiuss, ;Ind rfalliations of every fault ; we recollect a thousand endear flints, which before glided off our minds withOutjmpres sion, a thousand favours unrepaid, a thousantl dt*s un performcd, and wish, va . nly wish for his-retUrn t much that we may receive as that lveMly bo4o‘rbp,PP n ±ss, and recompense that understood."
