,t 4 • 90 ° 'f more extensively useful than this, if well done; and in establishing a work of the kind here contemplated ho pains, nor within limits expense, should be-spared in making this table complete. Correspondence should be opened with our Consuls abroad, with Editors of Newspapers in the Colonies, and with intelligent individuals every where—heads of inquiry should be circulated among them, embracing means of improvement as well as the actual state—monthly communications should be sought and paid for—the patronage of Government solicited, so as at the same time to obtain access to its sources of informa tion, and to procure, if possible the weight of its recommendation elsewhere—and, perhaps, even an office established near the Exchange in London, where manuscript or oral communication should be received, ,and sifted, and reproduced. And, in the infancy of the undertaking, it is possible that thus altogether, some trash might be admitted, or the field compas ' ed might be limited, or even some capital mistakes be committed—but use would make perfect, much information would be saved which is now lost, and many hints for individual speculation be thrown out. And the real value of the whole work, and its character, and circulation, would all so much depend on this proportion of it, there is little danger but that, were it once embarked in, strenu ous efforts would be made to perfect it. And the monthly tabular view which it would come gradually to exhibit of the trade, actual and prospective, of the whole world, would be a contribution both to politics anfil to commerce, which could scarcely be too highly prised. We cannot now afford more space, but shall resume the subject in a day or two. We are not prepared to say that we agree on all points with the doctrine here laid down, but the idea of a periodical work, as suggested, and which is further explained in a very important note at the conclusion of the Pamphlet, appears to us excel lent, and we earnestly recommend it to the atten tion of all those most interested in the revival of the commercial prosperity of the country.

The hand-loom weavers who were so judicious as to leave the ill-paid loom for the labours of the har vest, have nearly all returned, and are highly pleased with their success. Those that went no farther t han Linton hiring market have had from five to six w eeks' constant shearing, when the weather per mitted, and the wages per week were 95., exclusive of bed and food. Those who went nearer the borders had 12s. per week and victuals. Their Lours were from five o clock in the morning till seven o'clock at night. Their food was porridge and akim or butter-milk, morning and evening.— They messed in parties of seven; each male and femal e was allowed a Scottish pint of porridge, and a f ourth of that quantity of milk. The breakfast for this large number was, like in old Baronial times, made at once in a capacious copper utensil. The Porridge " spurtle" was 12 feet long ; and the top ° f it was inserted in a hole made in a plank, across the is:listing ; and a stout person below kept stirring, while the oatmeal was gradually scattered on the Wiling surface. It tired two or three before the process was completed, and the cogs fairly carted to the field. The dinner was considered the poorest 1, the invariable diet being a "bap," or about a two-penny loaf and a bottle of ill-fermented small beer. The weavers coming off the loom did not the first week relish this sort of food, but afterwards it becam e quite palatable; and now, when they have re turned, they have acquired such vigorous stomachs, that they say they ,are afraid that they will be able to eat more than they can earn. They slept in pairs, 43 0 plenty of straw, with a pair of blankets below, and another pair above them. None of them were allowed to come near the fire; for if this privilege had been granted to any, the farmer's ingle would have been i nundated. If the shearer's clothes became wet, it had to be borne as philosophically as possible. Washing of linen or shaving were unattainable to the majority; and at the morning muster it was j tuestioried if Nicholas's Don Cossacks could have iekiipsed the grotesque appearance then displayed. they 4,eseribe these large assemblies of Highland, end Irish shearers as " coarse parties," say that the Highlanders are best behaved.

The same uncertainty still continues to pre vail respecting the situation of affairs in the East, notwithstanding the " official" assurances of some, and the " private" intelligence of others. It is now admitted, that there is no armistice--that there never was any—but that peace is as sure as if there had been. Why, yes, a peace of some sort there must be, but that peace, in all probability, will be dictated in Constantinople. The Russian General will not like to stop short of his goal—and the Turks cannot prevent him. But it would be idle to speculate when another day may furnish authentic news. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 23d con tains the following respecting the province of Moldavia : FRONTIERS OF AIOLDAAIA, SEPT. 6. The President Seltuchin left Jassy again on the 26th ult. to return to Bucharest. At Boltuschan he had am interview with General Woinoff. M. Koray, who had protested against some of the or dinances of the President, so highly offended him, that he was obliged to resolve to go into banishment in Bessarabia. The four Moldavian Boyards who were called to Bucharest, to the Commission assem bled fm• deliberating on the affairs of the province, have acquired strong claims to the gratitude of their countrymen, by addressing a petition to the Empe ror Nicholas, requesting that Moldavia may in future be permitted to export its superfluous cattle to fo reign countrio, as soon as the wants of the Porte are supplied. This permission would have the most beneficial consequences for the province, and his Majesty is said to have already given the assurance, that in the negociations of the affairs of the Princi pality attention should be paid to it. It is, how ever, to be regretted, that t heWallachianßoyards did not take similar steps to obtain the !rune favour for their province, The latter were constantly engaged in deter mining the revenues of the future Hospodar, which they endeavoured to reduce as much as poshible, and to secure to themselves a portion of the lucrative offices. Prince Stourdza, late Hospodar of Moldavia, conti nues to reside on his estates in Bessarabia, and en joys the favour of the Emperor Nicholas, whereas DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The plague, of which there had been no signs at Jassy for 21 days, suddenly appeared again on the 30th August in the house of the banker Iwan Iwanowitz. Three of his clerks, and then he himself, have fallen victims to the disorder. Frankfort Papers of the 24th instant, and the Nuremburg Correspondent of the 23d, have been received, but they contain no news from the theatre of war : MAYENCE, SEPT. .5. The plan of arrangement, founded on the freedom of navigation, which has been proposed by Prussia and Holland, is generally approved by all competent judges. The shipping duty in Holland will be 13} cents (the 100th part of a Dutch florin) per cwt, by one mode of conveyance, and 9 cents by another. There is to be a higher transit duty first on tea.— namely, for Bohea and Congou, 111. 48c; for all other sorts, H. 30c. per cwt.; and secondly, for salt—viz., raw 90c. and refined salt 7fl. 20c. per cwt, Holland, therefore, reserves an exclusive right in its trade in salt alone; which however, of very little importance to Oermany, since the work ing of the very productive salt-mines at Wimpfew. On corn, flour, raw pulse, groats, and several other articles of produce, the duty is to be 3/ cents by land, and 2} by water, on articles of inferior value respectively 11- cent ; and lastly, for market provisions 3,1 cent, ff Franpe artd Baden do not object to the scheme on account of the trap- sit trade from Havre, and it is carried into effect, the countries on the Rhine may expect the most beneficial effects front it. xutstlcti, SEPT. 19. According to an accurate census the population of the kingdom amounted — In the year 1819 1825 to 3,982,537 1828 to 4,075,197 exhibiting an increase of 377,793 souls. SAXONY, SEPT. 16. The Duke of Saxe,Meinengen, before he set opt on his travels, made every 4rrangenient ft - 4 a new Constitution, to be discussed with the estates. The Deputies have expressed their opinions very freely on some points ; and, from the well-known senti • menta of the Duke and his Counsellors, it may be expected that this, the youngest of all the German Constitutions, will perhaps be the most liberel. Letters from Rotterdam state the quality of the new white wheat there to be bad. The reports of the crop of buck wheat were unfa vourable. The advices from Amsterdam were also unfavourable, as regards wheat; such of the crops as had been harvested bad been done so under injurious circumstances, and a good deal was laying abroad. Purchases were making at Brabant for the North of France of wheat. Mr. Alderman CROWTHER was yesterday elected Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, The worthy Alderman was sensibly affected when he stood forward to return thanks. In his speech he ob served that " he had passed much of his life in the service of the Corporation, and might by supposed to have acquired the knowledge which would qualify him for the performance of the duties. As far as experience had mellowed and matured his mind, its energies should be devoted to the performance of those duties. He, how ever, must look to his brother Magistrates for co-operation, and he knew he should not be dis appointed. He was totally unoccupied, free from the trammels of business, and he hoped he might add, that he was possessed of another quality-- an independent mind." This last quality is worth *a thousand others, and we trust that the Lord Mayor Elect will exercise it for his own honour, and for the benefit of his fellow-citizens. That shining gentleman, Mr. HUNT, spoke out as usual upon his charming theme of City Reforms, and among other serious complaints which this grievous authority had to make, was one which nearly touched himself. It seems that Mr. HUNT and his Brother Auditors have a claim of about 2001. on the Corporation of London for work and labour done, and that, according to Mr. HUNT'S report, they cannot get the money. Whether the fault (if any) rests with the CHAMBERLAIN or not, does not appear, but Mr. HUNT thought proper to roast the CHAMBERLAIN on the occasion, by stating that it was too bad for him to be out of his money while the CHAMBERLAIN had a balance in hand of about 130,0001. This was not all ;—the CHAMBERLAIN actually lent the money to the Corporation at five per cent. interest ! This was surely too bad, seeing that an honest servant, like Mr. MINT, could not get a farthing for his trouble. Nov, this was a thing not to be laughed at by those virtuous members of the Common Council who, according to Mr. HUNT'S speech, solaced themselves of an evening over their " backey and beer," instead of drinking the matchless essence of his roasted corn. Such common councilmen need expect little mercy at that 'ere manufactory over the water, if their unlucky feet should ever stray so far. 'But for the money : why it was truly said by Mr. GALLOWAY "that the Chamberlain held a considerable balance in his hands, but then it might be all demanded in a moment. It should be considered, too, that the Cham berlain bad no competent income for the banking account which he constantly kept. Whether the plan of leaving the money in that officer's hands had been adopted as a mode of remuneration, he did not know ; but, until a better mode should be chosen, there did not appear to be any alternative. The fact was, all the money might be, as he slid before, with drawn in an instant, and then the CHAMBER.- LAIN would have no more than what remained. —(Cheers.)"

When a boy of 14 years of age, I saw a piece in a newspaper, giving an account of a gentleman's finding a land tortoise, marked with what he supposed to be the initials of some person's none, with the date of the year when marked, which, compared with that period, made the tortoise forty years old. Being soon after in the meadow of my father, I found one, which then appeared to be of - full growth —I marked my name at full length, with the day of the month and ye.ir, which was the 13th of May, 1797, which makes 32 years ago last May. Yes terday, my men, while mowing in a meadow, not over three-quarters of a mile from the place where I marked him this ty-two years ago, found the same tortoise. I examined him, and know, from the letters and figures, to be the same one—Milan, July 31, 1829.—Dutchess Observer.

MADAME CATALANI.--When Madame CATA lANI was in Glasgow, about five years ago, accom panied by her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Benvoap, 84c. she sent a polite note to a literary gentleman to whom she had been introduced, and requested his advice in pronounc ing a Scotch song. She rehearsed the ballad, " Scots %ilia hae wi' Wallace bled," with tolerable correctness, till she arrived at the last line, which she pronounced " Let us do or die."

A WELSH RABBlT.—Colonel A— bait ing for the first time in his life at a Welsh inn, thought he would order for his dinner, a dish which must be perfection in its own country, viz. a Welsh rabbit. The dinner hour arrived, and the Colonel lifting up the cover of the dish next him, exclaimed in angry astonishnient to the waiter, upon beholding a large, dry-looking, fleshy animal before him. " Whit the d—l d'ye call this, a Welsh rabbit ?" " Why, noo, noo, Sir !" replied the man, perfectly cool, and un conscious of the error, " Noo, it certainly an'.t exactly a Welsh rabbit ; but 'tis a Monmouthshire one!"—.2lfirror. -ANA` ICO INQUIRENDO. anis DAY.) of th e honourable Jarvis Jarvis, who has I- A Jury ryas summoned to enqu i re i nto the sto be of 7 '".;q ,ad mind for some tim u D ".• . 1 j'reat d 1 : 41 Of rots * i . «; WA .:. .een reported b• The case excited &141 , i , '' eti 1.041 t-., tOii ^" .., y from t h e c i rcumstance , and th Pcsolute .e account of th e r . o .k o f th e party. of mind made to ti• ..pposition which, it is understood, will be ses- ..e Commission.

This morning being appointed for an inquiry into this somewhat mysterious case, the office was considerahl ) crowded, and the Magistrates, Sir R. BIRNIE and Mr. HALLS, proceeded in their investigation in the front room. The public were admitted. Mr. Adolphus attended on behalf of the Churchwardens and Overseers of the parish of Finchley, and Mr. C. Phillips on behalf of Mr. Phil lips, husband of the deceased. The parish authorities of Finchley, Mr. Snow, the chymist, Mr. Phillips, and a great number of witnesses, were in attendance, Mr. Adolphus, after stating that the deceased lady had died, and a Coroner's Inquest had been held on the body, said that the Jury bad returned a verdict that she came to her death from taking too great a quantity of laudanum. The circumstances which had transpired had created a very considerable sensation among the neighbours of the deceased and the public of Finchley, and cup Church- wardens felt themselves bound tc, t 4 0.11.t4 affair, and to institute a striqq inquiry into the transaction than had taken place. Mr. C. Phillips—Then Sir Richard, I submit that any information, if oat taken on oath, would have the effect of prejudicing the character of a person who may other wise have an opportunity of clearing himself. The Ma gistrate may determine that the information adduced will not warrant any further investigation, if, therefore, such information be received it ought to he taken in private, if not given on oath, HALLS remarked, that as the Reporters were pre sent, it might be advisable that nothing transpired that was not on oath. Mr. C. Phillips said, that was objoot, Mr. Phillips had no objection to such a course in public and _if any tw i n was bilhi enough to make any charge against him, he would not shrink from it. Sir R, BIRNIE observed that nothing of the kind had been intimated by Mr. Adolphus. Mr. C. Phillips—But he stated, that Mr. Phillips had declined having his domestics examined before a private tribunal. Mr. Phillips has no objection to any examina tion an 0411 in poldic before Sir ft. Birnie. Mr. Adolph:l;3 said that he had made no charge against any one. He only said that Mr. Snow was far above the imputations which had been cast upon him. He had heard, that unless a charge was made the Magistrate had no power to take evidence on the subject t, even on oath, and he therefore thought it tight, in the first instance, to l; now whether the investigation would be held without any charge, Mr. HALLS said, the Magistrates did not call in ques tion the verdict of the Coroner's jury, but he thought they were then situated as if no inquest bad taken place. If any subsequent evidence wa; brought forward they were ready to bear it, but not upon oath, unless a charge was mad: Air. C. Phillips—l wish to know if there is any charge; if not, no evidence on oath can be taken. Mr. Adolphus said that he was not instructed to make any charge against Mr. Phillips, . - Sir R. Bitttil 44 that there must be a charge, or evidpne un oath could not be taken. If it was advisable to take information not on oath, it should be in private. He asked Mr. Adolphus if he had any evidence prepared, and reduced to writing.—Mr. Adolphus replied that Le had had none, except the instructions in his brief. Mr. Phillips asked when the inquest took place, and was answered that it was early hi September. He then re winked that there must have been time sufficient to have prepared written information. - Mr. Adolphus replied that there certainly had been, if witnesses had not been kept out of the way, and had not promised to attend, and broken their promises. He wished to know why Mr. C. Phillips attended on behalf of Mr, Phillips. Why did the latter gentleman consider that it was more ne;e&sary for him to appear by Counsel than any other person? 111 C. Phillips—lt would have been extraordinary indeed if Mr. Phillips had not employed Counsel, when the inquiry related to his own deceased wife, and when the Press had so calumniated him, Mr. Adolphus had oxen no calumnies ; and even if he had, no one could be accountable for what appeared in the Newspapers : since the latter broke, in 1774, the standing orders of Parliament, by intrepidly publishing the debates, it was extremely difficult to establish any rule as to what they ought to be allowed to publish. Sir R. BilcNtp observed, that although it appeared something bad transpired in the papers, yet, that was no rea•ou why the magistrates should not pursue their usual course. He was fond of reading the newspapers, but he had seen no such insinuations. Mr. C. Phillip—lt was stated in the papers of this morning, that Mr. Phillips had refused to have his house hohl examined. Mr. Adolphus observed that that was a fact, and not an insinuation. If the magistrates, however, did not think it adviseable to take the evidence offered on oath, it would be for the churchwardens to consult as to whether they would prefer a written information, which might warrant the magistrates in receiving any evidence, on oath, if they thought a charge could be sustained. Sir R. BIRNIE remarked, that summoning SO witnesses was not the way to get through business. It would be better to produce a few leading ones at first. Mr. C. Phillips—At any time you wish Sir Richard, every member of Mr. Phillips's household shall appear be fore you. Sir R. BIRNIE felt some desire that the slur upon Mr. Snow, if unmerited, should be removed. Mr. C. Phillips said, that no slur had been thrown upon him by Mr. Phillips. Mr. Adolphus said that there had been a slur thrown upon Mr. Snow by Mr. Phillips at the inquest. He knew who it was that had marshalled the witnesses upon that occasion. Mr. C. Phillips—lt was the duty of the husband to have the fullest investigation into the causes of the death of his wife. Mr. Adolphus—Oh yes. Sir R. BIRNIE strongly advised both parties to look round the room, which was something like the black hole at CAlcutta, and expressed a hope that they would not overpower him with 80 witnesses. • Mr. Snow here attempted to speak, hut the Counsel on both sides prevented him, as well as Mr. Phillips, from interfering, though with great difficulty. It was then arranged that Mr. Adolphus should apply again to the Magistrates to appoint a day for receiving the written informations, and that notice should be given of such appointment to the Solicitor of Mr. Phillips. The parties then retired. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. Our supplies of all kinds of Grain and Flour are small this week.

(From the York Courant.) THE WEATHER.—Since Sunday week the qttan . tity of rain fallen in Beverley, and its neighbour hood, has been immense, principally falling during the night and succeeded by a fine day, and then another deluge of rain. But on Thursday afternoon the thunder and lightning were very awful, with a dense atmosphere, but little rain, and the wind blow ing from the N.E. and exceedingly cold. From every inquiry and the reports in the newspapers, it. does not appear that any place has had so ma rain as Beverley, if we except those which have suffered from hurricanes. The storm on Thursday night was awfully experienced at Market-Weighton. The rain fell in torrents. The lightning was most vivid, the thunder dreadfully loud, and the hailstones and snow fell heavily. The lightning set fire to a barn, which was en tirely consumed. A passenger by one of the coaches states, that he was never out in so dreadful a night, as it was during his passage from Beverley to Bishop-Burton. The thunder rolling over head, and the lightning illuminating the atmosphere with all the grandeur of a summer storm, whilst the snow was drifting on the ground in flakes, like the fleecy bitterness of winter. since writing the above, wo have received the following from our correspondent STORM AND HURRICANE IN THE EAST RIDING, On Thursday last, a large space in the East Rid ing, including Beverley, Market-Weighton, &c. was visited by a tremendous storm of thunder, light ning, and snow, and hailstones an inch in circumfe rence. Very soon after its commencement a fire ball struck a barn at Market-Weighton, belonging to Mr. J. Giles, and the barn being full of straw, wheat-chaff, and other combustibles, it was very soon a burning mass. By active exertions they contrived to save a quantity of wheat, but the building was burnt to the ground. On the hill, just above tho town, men and boys were seen snow-balling. After the cessation of the snow storm, succeeded rain in torrents, filling the water-courses almost instantaneously ; and this furious storm seems to have succeeded a hurri cane which they had at Beswick, situate between Beverley and Driffield. It appeared to rise neat. Mr. Johnson's, at Beswick Carr, and carried devrts teflon in its train, tearing up every thing in its way, and passed through a plantation called the Rush, threatening destruction to Mr. Duggleby's men, who were leading barley in a field adjoining tl:e Rush ; but luckily they contrived to escape its fury, excepting one boy, who took shelter under a heap of barley; but the hurricane swept away his cover ing, and left him sprawling on the ground. It car ried the stooks, &c. into the air, and shivered some of them into atoms. During this convulsion of the elements, the rain began to fall in immense sheets of water, carrying away every thing that seemed to ob struct its course. How far it may have extended, and what further mischief and damage it may have done, we have not been able as yet to ascertain.

Bishop and Horneman, Esqts., under took on Wednesday, for a considerable wager, to row from London-bridge to Gravesend, back to Riclunond-bedg,, and down again to Westminster-bridge, in fifteen hours. The interest excited by the announcement of the match, was great, and many heavy wagers depended on the re sult; the gentlemen, however, in the majority of instancv,=„ for choice. At half-past five o'clock on Monday Inarni•y,g the rowing gentlemen started from London-bridge, and pro ceeded down to Gravesend with the tide. After taking some refreshment they resumed their work, and succeeded in arriving off Lambeth at seventeen minutes past two e'clock. At this place numbers of amateurs were on the look out for them, and on the gentlemen passing they Were. greeted with loud cheers. About five they reached Bias, mond, and after a short relaxation they came down and arrived at Westminster-bridge at a quarter ta sues,, thus winning the match by one hour ad a quattes, having rowed the distance, which is considered about )00 miles, in thirteen hours and three quarters. The gentlemen pug up at Bishop's, the Palace Tavern, where they wer t . Met by a numerous circle of friends, who complimented' them, on the success of their arduous and novel undertaling, SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY. Yesterday afternoon some Cockney sportsmen were: strolling in the fields near Holloway, shooting at sparrow and other game, when t , ) their infinite astonishment they turned up a hare. If puss was alarmed at the sight of toe Cockneys, they were no less so at the sight of her, but as soon as they had recovered from their surpri3e, they fired, a volley at her. It is almost needless to add, that not ta single shot touched her. Puss took to the road, followed by a variety of " mongrel dogs and curs of low degree," whose sweet music quickly brought an assemblage of bipeds, who joined in the chase. Others, however, acted differently. The idea of running away from a hare m . ,iy appear strange to those accustomed to the sports c,f thr field, but it is absolutely a fact, that many an elderly gen tleman, as poor puss approached, thinking from the shouts of the mob that a mad bull was coming, sought refuge in the neighbouring shops to a v o id th e attacks of the " in furiated animal." Puss was at length caught nearly op.. posite Cloudesley-terrace, Islington, by a journeymen penter, who bagged his game in his apron. A gentleman presont offered him 4s. 6d. for his prize, but he refused to part with it, saying that as it MIS the first hare he had ever caught, he would keep it as a curiosity. YORK POST OFFICE.—We understand that the attendance and delivery of letters and papers, at our post office, will be extended to ten o'clock at night, from and after Thursday next (to-morrow).— Yo, k Courant. The Justitia convict hulk, lying off the Royal Arsenal, at Woolwich, has for a long time been in such a bad state of repair that it was deemed necessary to bring her alongside the wharf, that if she sunk it might not be in deep water. She has lain there upward■ of two years, grounding at low water, but making from three to five feet water in her hold every tide. With perseverance at the pumps the convicts contrived to free her until Thursday last, when the water rushed into her with sueb velocity, that she sunk almost instantaneously, and had it not beer for the promptitude of Captain SMITH, the soperintentlant, the whole of the prisoners on the lower deck (upwards of 200) must have found a watery grave. There is no com munication from one deck to another, and the hatchway that leads to each deck is only sufficiently c►ide to admit one person at a time. It happened that the Dnnregara Castle and Bussora Merchant had comedown from Dept. ford to take in prisoners for New South Wales, when SO were immediately sent on hosed the former, and 100 on board the latter ship ; others were sent to the other hulks that lie here, so that the lower deck of the sunken ship is cleared.—Kent Paper.
