To those persons who have not become Subscribers to this Encyclopmdia, nor made themselves ac quainted with its peculiar and original plan, it may be ne cessary to state, that it will ultimately form three grand di visions, viz.—l.

Miscellanies, arranged alphabeti cally, and comprising a Technical Dictionary, a Gazetteer, and an Etymological Lexicon of the English Language.— In every Part, as hitherto published, a portion of each of these Divisions has been given, and the Reader has had the advantage of enjoying, in every new fasciculus presented to him, all the distinct features of the Work. Still, how ever satisfactory this plan has been to many, others have been desirous of having perfect volumes ; and this wish is now attainable by the completion of the First Volume of the Work, comprising Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric, and a large portion of Mathematics.

BUTLER, Chemists, Cheapside, Corner of St. Paul's, London ; Sack vile -street, Dublin ; and Princes-street, Edinburgh ; Sole Agents for the above Preparations, which will, in future, have their names attached to the Government Stamp as a security against the many spurious imitations now in cir culation. Cheltenham, Jan. 1, 1629. Letters have been received from the Island of Terceira, of the 9th inst., which announce the arrival of a part of the Portuguese Refugees at that Island from Ply mouth. The Island has now here 8,000 men well armed and disciplined, with provisions for eighteen months, and animated with the best spirit to the Constitutional system. The Isabella, Brazilian frigate, was cruizing in the neigh bourhood of the Island, and no force that Don Miguel can send against Terceira will now have any effect. It does not appear that any British ship offered any molestation to the troops landing. We are informed by a gentleman, who states the fact from personal knowledge, that the habits and ex penditure of the new Lord Lieutenant of Ireland have always been on a scale of princely magnificence. Thirty thousand pounds were,the regular annual allotment for in ternal domestic arrangements, and twenty-five thousand were assigned for the department under the controul of his Grace's Master of the Horse. Without any reference to what are commonly called polities, it is quite obvious that an establishment of this nature, enhanced as it probably will be by the necessity for display in the Representative of m a jody, must be felt by the tradesmen of Dublin ; and in all probability, more particularly as many of the nobility and gentlemen of fortune may be thereby induced to make that capital at least the occasional residence of themselves and their families. All acconnts concur in eulogising the affability and prepossessing manners of the Duchess, and in the anticipation of a brilliant and fashionable attendanc e at the Vice-regal Court. ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF NORTHUM BERLAND.—In a London Paper of Saturday, appeared the following paragraph :—" The Puke of Northumber land, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, is gone back to Alnwick Castle, for the purpose of bringing his family to London immediately. His Grace will kiss hands next week." It is probable from this statement, and the cir cumstance we are about to mention, that the Noble Duke kit London late on Friday afternoon. At four o'clock on Sunday morning, his Grace, in his travelling chatiot and four, reached Ferrybridge (fifteen miles this side Don caster), having posted downwards from town during the night; and, after changing horses, proceeded on his route northward. Unfortunately, however, when arrived at Hookmoor, between Ferrybridge and Aberiiird, but nearer the latter place, either owing to the postillione mistaking the centre of the highway iu consequence of the snow, pr owing to the slipperiness of the footing and the convexity of the road, the Duke of Northumberland's carriaee reeled for some Nees, and in spite of all the efforts to avert the catastrophe, at last fell over on one side. His Grace, who was unattended, except by a singe servant, we rezret to mention, received a slight hurt on the shoulder by this accident, but con4idefing the nature of the upset, and the serious damage done to the chariot, be may be said to have very peovidentially escaped. It was then about five o'clock, A.M. and as the frost was intense, the unpleasant situation of the Noble I par ticularly after his night's fatigue, may be easily imagined. But the exertions of the post-boys and his Grace', valet, together with some casual assistance which happened to become available, enabled the whole party to reswne their journey in a short time The Duke of Northumberland accordingly reached the clown jug, Bornughbridge, for hrealif.st, where the landlord, Mr. Stott, administered every possible comfort to his Noble Guest, and had the . pannels of the. chariot, put in such a state of repair as would enable his Grace to enjoy his travelling equipage in safety for the rest of the way to Alawick Castle.--Leeds Intelliieneer FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

ANOTHER FEMALE HUSI3AND. (From the Chdtenhani Chronicle.) • Having read in your last number the parti culars of a very extraordinary case of setual de ception, under the head of " The Female Hus band," I beg leave to send,you tor insertion an account of a somewhat similar instance which occurred many years ago . in Birmingham, and which is reported in a curious work (now put of print) entitled " Court of Requests ; their na ture, utility, and powers. described, with a variety . of cases, determined in tha; of Birmingham, by W. Hutton, F.A.S.S."---The case is headed Betty John," and the following is a brief state ment of the facts which appeared in evidence I am, Sir, yours - , Ike. • AN INHABITANT. A plaintiff wished to sue a person in the Birming ham Court of Requests, . but • hot knowing whether the party was male or female, was at a loss by what name to begin. The defendant had been known many years in Birmingham, in the dress and charac ter of a woman, called Elizabeth, and bid been many years known in the dress, and character of a man, who answered to the name of John. The plaintiff, after many fruitless enquiries, determined to trap the person, let the sex be what it would; therefore filled up the summons with Elizabeth alias John Haywood, 'Whatever was the gender, the animal appeared before the Court in a female habit, was rather ele gant, of a moderate site, tolerably" hardsome, about thirty-two, had a firm countenance and manly step, no beard, susceptible of love, a voice tending to the masculine, with engaging manners, and was rather sensible. A husband was pleaded in bar, and that the Court had no power over a wife. The trial continued three or four days, during which, the de fendant acquired the appellation from the people of Betty John. The Court was uncommonly crowded. The women could have pulled its cap, and tossed it in a blanket, for verging upon their sex. The men listened with great attention, Expectation marked every face.—As it appeared in the Court in a female dress, I shall take the liberty of treating it with a feminine epithet. It appeared from undoubted evidence, that whilst she dressed like a man, she was suspected to be a woman, but in both dresses was strongly suspected to be a man. The common opinion of the ignorant, who knew her, was, that she was an hermaphrodite, partaking of both sexes. While the defendant carried a male dress, she spent her evenings at the public with her male com panions, and could, like them, swear with a toler able grace, get drunk, smoke tobacco, make love to • the girls, and now and then kick a bully. Though she pleaded being a wife, she had really been a hus band; for she courted a young woman, married her and lived together in wedlock, till the young woman died, which was some years after. She afterwards, like the people of higher rank, kept a mistress, and ran away with her. Forcible evidences, like these, were sufficient to convince the wisest head epon this Bench, or any other, that a man in disguise stood before them. Her wife living peaceably with her all her days, without one complaint of a breach of the marriage covenant, evinced there was no defect. Neither would a girl sacrifice her reputation, by becoming a mistress to a woman in breeches. Her being well versed in the art of kicking, farther proved she was a man, because it is an art never thoroughly under stood by the beautiful part of the creation, nor has it been practised since the days of Queen Elizabeth. Again, she spoke but little, which was no indication of her being a woman. Under these masculine proofs, the Court, not con vinced she was a wife, asked if she could produce any proofs of being married ? She answered in the affirmative. This evidence, the next court-day, only went to prove, that a man had lived with her in the capacity of a husband. But as instances might be produced of a man and %vomit cohabiting together, without being married, the plea was rejected. She was therefore asked, if she could bring a certificate ,of her murriage ? She would try. The certificate, on a subsequent day, was produced, but, like a Bir mingham bill drawn without effects, it passed from hand to hand for inspection, but was returned with great indifference, without an acceptance. A scrap of paper, it was observed, containing a few simple wards, might be drawn for a penny by a school-boy. The Court, not satisfied she was a wife, and no farther evidence appearing, entered an order against her. On her neglecting payment, she was served with an execution and committed to pi ison. Two days after, it appeared from incontestible proof, that she was a real woman, and a real wife; that. her husband then resided in Shropshire. The Coth-: missioners, sensible of the injury done her, wishe4 Ito make reparation ; but their powera view extinct, and she cancelled the dvtaliy a confinement of forty days.

We are indebted to a Correspondent for the follow big communication, which gives a very exalted idea of the good people of Guernsey : • It is not generally known that a short time before Kean made his debut in London, he was engaged to perform on the Guernsey stage ; but from a strange perversion of taste, the Guernsey auditors not only did not admire, but actually despised his talent. He first appeared there in the character of Hamlet, which was very coldly received, and soon after made his bow in his favourite Richard, the first scene of which did not pass off without considerable laughter and hissng: this increased as he proceeded, 'till, out of all patience, he had the imprudence to ad dress the following line, which occurs in the scene with Lady Anne, to the pit :—" Unmannered dogs, stand ye when I command." The clamour of course increased. The audience demanded an apology. Kean came forward, turd told them " that the only proof of understanding they had ever given, was their proper application of the words he had just uttered." He was driven from'the stage, and for some weeks lingered .in g reat distress, without the means of leaving the Island. l4owever, the Go veriair (General Doyle . ) hearing of his situation, kindly assisted .him with money,, and. patronised a perfotmance at some public-house, which Kean got up to exhibit his eldest son, who had mtich dramatic promise, in pantomime. Kean left the Island, and pr o ceeded to Taunton, and from thence to Dorchester, where Arnold engaged him for Drury-lane. On the day of his engagement the son above alluded to died, which was a source of deep and lasting affliction to his father. Kean in his extremity offered himself to Gen. Doyle as a fit and proper person to serve his Ma jesty, and solicited only the next step above a common soldier. The following is a critique on his Hamlet , which appeared in the Guernsey paper:— " Last night a young man, whose name the bill said was Kean, made his first appearance in .Hamlet, and truly his performance of that character made us wish that we had been indulged with the country system of excluding it, and playing all the other characters. This person had, we understand, a high character in several parts of England, and his vanity has repeatedly prompted him to endeavour to pro cure sit engagement at one of the theatres in the metropolis; the difficulties he has met with have, however, proved insormountable;and the theatres of Drury -lane and Covent-garden have spared theta selves the disgrace to which they would be subject by countenancing such impudence and incompetency. Even his performance of the inferior characters of the drama would be objectionable, if there was nothing to render him ridiculous but one of the vilest figures that has been seen either on or off the stage; and if his mind was half so well qualified for the conception of Richard the Third, which he is shortly to appear in, as his person is suited to the deformities with which the tyrant is said to have been distinguished from his brothers, his success would be unequivocal. As to his Hamlet, it was one of the most terrible misrepresentations to which Shakspeare has ever been subject. Without grace or dignity he comes forward ; he shews an uncon sciousness that any body is before him, and is often so forgetful of the respect due to an audience, that he turns his ,back upon them in some of those scenes where contemplation is to be indulged, as if for the purpose of shewing his abstractedness from all ordi nary objects. His voice is harsh. and monotonous, but as its is deep, answers well enough the idea he entertains, of impressing terror by a tone that seems to proceed from a charnel house." SKETCH OF COUNT DE LA BORDE'S TRAVELS IN THE LEVANT. The route from Adana to Aleppo is the same which Alexander traced when he crossed the Pil Maritimi on his way to meet Darius. The field of battle on the Issus, is precisely such as history has described it ; a plain inclosed be tween the sea, and an amphitheatre of moun tains, and peculiarly adapted to give the' fullest effect to the tactics of the Macedonian phalanx, as well as to afford bravery the preponderance over numbers. Antioch and its magnificent ruins, the woody shades of Daphne, and the pellucid meanderings of the Orontes, detained us for a few days; but the ravages making around us by the plague, disconcerted all our designs. On passing through the village cemeteries, we were alarmed at the multiplicity of sepulchral hillocks, and the fresh gathered appearance of the flowers which the Turks are accustomed to plant over the graves of their relatives or friends. The dismal impres sions this scene excited - had by no means dimi nished when we reached Aleppo. At a league in advance of that city, M. de Lesseps, the French Consul, having received information of our approach, rode out to meet us in company with the principal French merchants; though, in consequence of the ten days' quarantine to which it was determined to subject us, they did not venture to come in personal contart with us. When, however, we had reached our quarters, M. de Lesseps jumped from his saddle, exclaiming, " I can contain myself no longer ; happen what may my feelings must have vent ;" and with theSe words he threw himself into my arms. His companions did the same by mine ; and every idea of quarantine and its purifications was from that moment laid upon the shelf. In fact, there are so few Frenchmen who are found travelling in eastern regions, that the arrival of a single individual of that race be comes a positive festival to their poor fellow countrymen in exile. Alas ! within two months afterwards the plague carried off several of our hosts, whom the etethquake had spared. From Aleppo we took our departure for Pal myra. The diflieulties in this journey form much the same kind of episode in our tine excursion, which that city itself form:* when we refer to its isolated site amidst tlif e 4 ci fe li ng desert. The visitor generally stgt4,bmii, H u m s , or from Hama. Among tire in4ithitatits in these two towas, are se , ,:e.):v4 ‘xlim key up an inter course with are Artkla chiefa, and enter into term, them for providing travellers g a i irie.s; #n fact, they are, to a certain extent, the purveyors of the desert. The most eminent t)f these agents is the Sheik Thala, who entrveys, the caravan of Mecca from Hama to lkmascus he instantly dispatched an expre.sa to, t,:le Chief; who was the most inNeki,k4iii leader of the sur rounding hordcs, at . theti,•ine of our visit ; power, however, is b: 4 3,t a fleeting commodity in the tiv e t, and is'incessantly merging from one tribe into another, as it is dependant upon the junc tions or alliances which take place between them, and the fresh tribes imported every year from the Euphrates and Tigris. In four . clays time the man who was to con duct us, made hiss appearance; he proved to be Nahar, the Sheik of the tribe of the Lions, which is a branch of the distin&uishod race of the Aneses, lie was at the head of .ten thou. sand men, livin e , issier sis thousand tents, and scattered over a surface of thiety or forty spare leagues. tio was a 1113 U ni. fruit Satttre, elsi e t sixty years of age, and spare in person, and brow it in complexion, like ail the Bedouins. lie lied a sheep's skin, dyed inside of a reddish colour, thrown across shoulders, and t flirt wits the only circumstance which distinguished him float the rest of his suite. kris motions were solemn and slow ; and when a snide shat across the predominatin,e- gloom of his countenanc e his fea tures assumed an expression of sweetness, thouelt mingled generally with a touch of melancleds, which betrayed the corroding canker of some internal affliction; he was sparing of words, and never expressed himself with vehemence. The terms of our compact were speedily adjusted ; but there was one condition to which we de murred, and ought never to have assented, that of laying aside our arms. he asserted that he could not be responsible for our safety without we acceded to it ; and added flusher, that the most trivial act of indiscretion might prove our destruction. With this man, and three of his followers on foot, as our escort, w e entered the Desert ; our own little host comprised six horsemen, and three camels, carrying water and. provisions. t()t the encampment The wamp first (l nlenf the march e 's Bcilekitibrilotrtgalt übs, ,s, branch of the Etnbaraki tribe, whose domain es tends along the whole range of the Desert .froit Damascus to Aleppo. - During, the night we were suddenly called front our slumber; by the appearance of robbers at a distance ; the who' s camp was in instant commotion, and we became conscious when. it Ins too late, of the miqalse we had ,made in leaving our urns behind us. The two following. days were not marked by any particular occurrence. The Arabs on foot were generally Sent in advance to see that all was s;&, and would frequently stand upr;ght on the back of the camel, to extend . the range of their obser vations, with looks full of anxiety at the sii - 1.,;1.1e5t noise; and earnestly attentive to the most trivial movement which occurred. Man, a stranger to his fellow-mortals in these vast solitudes, is ever apprehensive of encountering an enemy in the first individual that threatens to cross his path. However great may be the distance, the moment one person catches the glitnpse of another, he instantly seeks to avoid him ; and a whole army might be lost on the very spot, where ohe human being would ineffectually strive kr conceal him self from another. The Sheik Nahar preceded us in silence, but halting at various intervals to say his prayers. One day, conceiving that he had lost his way, though he had in fact. deviated from his course simply with a view of replenishing our stock of water from the supply afforded by a rock, with which he was - acquainted, we could not refrain from expressing our apprehensions to him upon which he replied with the greatest unconcern, " I promised Sheik Thela to accompany you to Tadmor, and bring you back to Horns ; and I shall keep my promise. Do not alarm your selves at what you may see." . 'He did not fail to reach- the spring which he was in quest of.— The ensuing day, which was preceded by our passing the night under the open s ky, wi t h out arty fire to protect u s against its cutting el:ill, we were slowly prosecuting our course, when we discerned from fifteen to twenty Arabs coming down upon us at full ,gallop, and, with their lances lowered, commencing an attack upon our camels which had remained behind. We turned back to defend- them, and a fierce col:2kt of fists and sticks ensued ; they as well as ourselves being unprovided with fire-arms. The rest of the tribe had joined their comrades, and we were in the most imminent danger of being plundered and left naked in the midst of the desert, at 60 miles distance from any supply of water or human habi tation. Wliilst our hands were inutuailyinisied in tearing the clothes from each other's baeks, our horses were exchanging blows with the. Arabian mares, and the uproar was at its height. Messrs. Hall and Becker once had to struggle on fbot with two Bedouins ; my own son, who was the only one of us who had concealed a pistol iii his girdle, was by its aid enabled to keep two Arabs at bay, after losing his turban. I was struggling to find my way through the burly burly, in search of our guide, whose lance had been shattered at the first onset, when one of our party cried out . "We are saved !" In tint we now remarked the Arabs fighting among themselves, and their leader prostrated before out: old conductor, anxiously endeavouring to apoJo eise for his offence. Nahar, colle-tine his oar. b melds around him with the most consumloate sang froid, regained his saddle, and showed no sign of indignation but a tear or two which rolled down his cheek, and certain upbreidinos levelled from - time to time at the young cilia. by whom we'were escorted three miles'further on our road. This youth was mounted on a mare, worth fifteen thousand piastres ; and yet, the only recompense he sought, for the service he had rendered us in arresting the despoiling career of his tribe, consisted in a small quantity. of barley for his courser ; to this we added a vest, in which he attired himself on the Tot. From the Statistical Tables of• Mr. Weyde mer, it appears that the proportion of •males to females, in all Russia, is as 44 to 40.
