LATE MATRIMONIAL AFFAIR AT ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH, HANOVER-SQUARE. Au account having appeared in the daily Journals of a marriage which was most suddenly and unex pectedly broken off at St. George's Church, last Saturday, and which has excited the curiosity of the public in no small degree, and been the general sub ject of conversation during the week, we are at length enabled, from the most unquestionable autho rity, to give a full development of the mysterious affair. It has been stated that the intended bride was a lady of rank arid large fortune, and every en deavour has been resorted to to keep up the delusion ; but the lady in question has been before the public lately in the shape of a suppliant for relief, and is no other than Miss Charlotte Zouch, a native of Ire land, who represents herself as a descendant of one of the most ancient families in the sister isle, and "daughter of the late -- Zouch, Esq. who filled a high official situation in Ireland at his demise. The fair one in question was born in Ireland some time in the year 1790, and after the death of her parent came over to this country to reside with a Noble family, under whose care she was educated with their own daughters; and when she arrived at woman's estate, an ample sum was settled upon her sufficient to maintain her with ease and comfort during life. She, however, commenced a life of gaiety and extravagance, and contracted a number of debts. Her creditors at length became clamorous for the amount of their bills, which she was unable to pay, and she subsequently came under the safe custody of the Warden of the Fleet in due course of law, and remained iirider his surveillance till within these four months, when she was discharged, the Warden, upon inquiry, finding she was as is termed in law supersedable. After her incarceration, she adver tised in several of the London newspapers, address , ing herself particularly to the Nobility and Gentry, representing her case as ene of the extremest distress. These •advertisements were in many instances in serted on payment of the duty only on account of her apparent distress, the last of which appeared on the sth of April last, and was 1 follows: " The quality of mercy is not strained ; " It droppeth as the gentle rain from Heaven " Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed; " It blesseth bim that gives and him that takes." " The Good Samaritan ! To those anxious to act the noble part of the Good Samaritan ! To those anxious of befriending the sacred cause of the afflicted, the unprotected, and friendless, the following case of severe adversity is most respectfully, most earnestly, addressed f—A contribu tion being opened for the distressed daughter of a most worthy man (the late Mr. Zouch, of the Irish Treasury) under circumstances, from lately coining out of prison in solvent, of the most friendless destitution, an appeal to the humane, benevolent, and sympathizing hearts of Great Britain, is most respectfully and earnestly solicited, adver sity having, since the decease of her parents, followed her steps so bard as to leave her on the wide world without a home, and without a friend save public benevolence. Every particular of this case can be honourably authenticated on favour of application per letter or otherwise; and unques tionable references, if desired, afforded to families of respec tability, who have known Miss Zouch and her family far years. Miss Zouch's explanatory letter, addressed to the public will speedily be in circulation for the public infor mation and guidance; the dangerous illness of a friend having hitherto prevented her attending to it. To further Miss Zouch's views subscriptions are consented to be re ceived by Madame and Mr. Carden, 118, Oxford -street, who knowing the particulars of this case, have kindly undertaken to answer any inquiries on her behalf. Con tributions of the benevolent also very gratefully received at the establishments as undermentioned, viz.:—At Mr. Power's, 34, Strand ; Delcroix (perfumer to the Royal Family), 157, New Bread-street; Mr. Marsh's, 137, Oxford-street ; and Mr Capes, 111, Fleet- street." :Besides these advertisements, she had a number -of circulars printed, which she caused to be distri buted to the nobility and gentry, contrasting her former situation in life with her then condition, and / soliciting their aid, by which genteel means of begging she received considerable sums of money. A military gentleman is said to have assisted her in composing the circulars and advertisements. After Miss Zouch's discharge from the Fleet prison, she took obscure lodgings in a place called White's alley, Chancery-lane; and here it was that Miss Zouch's prospects began to brighten. It so hap pened that Thomas Woodin, Esq., an opulent East India merchant, residing in the Regent's Park, had Lately arrived from India, saw one of the advertise ments calling upon those anxious to act the noble part of the Good Samaritan to aid and assist her; and from feelings of humanity he waited upon her for the purpose of contributing to her relief, and this led to further interviews, when she made Mr. Woodin her confidant, and that gentleman, with the greatest liberality from the representations made by her, paid off the whole of her debts. An acquaint ance of a more tender nature soon took place, and Mr. Woodin made her an offer of his hand, which was accepted, And Saturday last was fixed to cele brate the nuptial ceremony. It was arranged that immediately after the wedding the bride arid bride groom were to have breakfasted at Mr. Woodin's forodllas, at Tulse-hill, Norwood, from thence they were to proceed to Windsor, and from thence to Portsmouth, where they were to embark on board a vessel bound for India, a passage having been previously engaged. Miss Zotich, though by no means handsome, has well formed features, and con- sidered a fine figure, and her manners peculiarly las .cinating, but possessed of an uncommon share of pride and vanity, which she carries to the most ab surd excess,. To such an extent had Mr. Woudin carried his attachment, that a most expensive outfit for Witt had been provided for the lady, .and every comfort ir.ossible for a voyage to In diia was arranged for her accommodation. Her 6aggoge was shipped above a fortnight ago in the ast India Docks. On the trunks were brass plates,eograved "Mrs. Thomas Wood in, paisenger," Alt length , the day arrived which was to consummate their tbappiness, And the carriages, fi‘e in number, the if,er,vants and borsgs' heads decorated with white favours, halted at the dow of the intended bride, at No. 235, Regent-street, opposite the Argyle-rooms, ttvbere she is at present sojourning. On the ap ypointed morning, at an early hour l the frjseur was tin tequisition to set off the brides charms to the Czeutest advantage. The servants of Mr. Gunter, theoe,lebrated pastry-cook of Berkeley-square, were busied delivering their cargoes of wedding-cakes.--- The lady went through the matrimonial ceremony firmly up to that part which required her response, when she suddenly hesitated. 'The clergyman re puted the words, but Miss Zouch did not answer, itlVltough urged to it by the friends around ,her,, 'The Rev. Gentleman waited until twelve o'clock, when he took his departure. The disappointed ibridegroom was thunderstruck at the unexpected circumstance, and returned home in his brother's carriage, in company with his sister. Miss Zouch 3160 returned to her lodgings at No, ?35, Regent street. In the course of the day Mr. Woodin wrpte to the different tradesmen who had furnished the dresses, refreshments, &c., to forward their bills to him, hich being done, they were forthwith dis charged. The presents which were made to Miss Zonch by Mr. Woodin are said to be of consider able value. It is reported that Mr. Woodin settled upon Miss Zouch .5,000/. before her going to church. The bridal dresses were all of a most costly description, awl Miss Zouch's dress alone cost 1 30 guineas. Mr. Woodiu is about to take his de- Plvture for India immediately, and the intended bride still continues in a state of single blessedness at her lodgings, for which she pays at the moste.zet.p rate of eight guineas per week—and, strange to re bite, he exhibits her wedding dresses at the windows her,apartment, to satisfy the curiosity of the pub 'We mention the latter circumsta►-tce for the risfaction of the " Good Samaritans" resider)! in London.

HISTORY or THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE. 2 voLs. r:DiNitußGii, 182 P. The wildest, the most eventful, the most pro lific of incident, but at the same time the most unsatisfactory of all histories, is the Turkish.— Its kings, warriors, and statesmen appear and disappear with the mysterious rapidity of the figures in a magic lantern : scarcely have they illumined the eastern world with the splendour of their achievements, than, like the night meteor, they set at once in gloom, and leave not a trace behind. The chief actor in Turkish history is the bow-string. From this all its great events take their rise ; to this (with but few ex ceptions) they all revert. This potent instru ment is the ruler of the Sultan himself—the occult, but unerring despot, at whom even the haughty Janissaries themselves used to tremble. But though thus influential, whether for good or evil, to the Turks it has hitherto held out no moral lesson : the death of une tyrant by the bowstring has been the ladder of succession to another, excited by the same tyrannic feelings, and acting on precisely the same prin ciples of policy. At the present crisis, how ever, and for the first time, in her extraordinary history of four hundred years, Turkey presents the aspect of an improving nation. The great man who weilds her destine, and with a saga cious firmness which proves him equal to the task, has of late projected and carried into exe cution, improvements and innovations on the old customs of the country, of the most striking and scarcely credible character, and under him Turkey may yet become a name—and a highly influential one--among the other nations of Eu rope. Of this strange and ill-assorted empire, Mr. Upham, in the present volumes, has given us a rapid and highly animated sketch. His pages, indeed, are an Aceldama, or field of blood; but they teem with instruction for those who know how to glean a moral from the most re volting events, and turn even guilt itself to account. VINDICIZE ECCLESI2E,-OR THE CHURCH AND HER CHAMPIONS. LONDON. 1829. This is a smart and amusing squib, the pro duction, evidently, of a writer of lively fancy, who knows his forte ; and•can turn it to a pro fitable account. The subject is the late cele brated disputes between the two parties of Ca tholic and Protestant, with respect to the Eman cipation Bill, and the author has amused him self good humouredly, and in a gentlemanlike spirit, at the expence of both. We have said that the work is amusing; the following extract will bear out our assertion. It is the speech of Mr. Serjeaat Lefroy, supposed to be delivered at a grand Brunswick convocation : " My Lord, a maxim rather trite, Tells us good subjects should unite, When traitors, plotting and designing, In wicked league are found combining ; And now, to th' altar and the throne, Our true devotion should be shewn. Pro aria first, pro focis next, Shall ever be my Brunswick text.—( Cheers.) Your Lordship has so well explain'd The penal code that here obtain'd ; Epitomiz'd with such precision, Each chapter, section, and division, That I shall not presume, this day, Upon that point a word to say; But th' Irish code deserves th' attention Of this great Protestant convention. ( Hear, hear, hear.) The laws while pass'd in th' English spirit, Are still of far superior merit ; More salutary and restrictive, More circumstantially inflictive, More fit to reach by nice degrees, That horrible and rank disease, Whose sanious ichor scalding flows, Fast as the popish cancer grows. ( Immense cheering, and shouts of No Popery ! ) Yet, what a melancholy fact ! These laws at present, cease to act ; Fatuity has long abolish'd Enactments that must lave demolish'tl Each filthy superstitious fane, Did they but still in force remain. And Jugurnaut ere now had met, No wretch to pay his dreadful debt. Haernus was a phrase, That stigmatiz'd, in former days, Each individual doom'd to scorn, If in his native ‘ country born. (Cheers and jpud laughter.) I see, my Lord, , l've made a bull, My tongue betrays a mind too full, I say the native Irish then, Dar'd not consociate with men, With nothing Anglican allied, Proscrib'd they Wel, denounc'd they died. Each was ohne d tp cut and clip The hair upon his upper lip, Mustachios then, through all the land, On th' Irish lip were contraband ;—(Laughter.) No herbal honours, grave or gay, Could wild barbarians dare display. 4 a Irishman, on no pretence, Could vindicate his own defence ; So cheap the value of his hpo 7 That if a settler struck him dead 'Twas nothing but a trespass slight, A trifling fine, and all was right."—( Cheers.) STORIES OF VOYAGES AND TRAVELS. This is a highly ingenious little work, well conceived and equally well executed. It is an abridgement (for the use of children) of the late popular voyages and travels of Waterton, Head, Hall, and others, expressed in plain, familiar language, admirably suited to the capacities of the young reader. The volume is further em belliahecl by some admirable lithographic prints, from the versatile pencil of Cruickshank. FINE ARTS. F. HOWARD'S PLAYS OF SHAKSPEARE. " 4npther and another still succeeds ;" this, we perceive, is the Thirteenth Number of Mr. How ard's Shakspearian Illustrations, and really if he carries on the remaining ones with the same taste and spirit with which he has executed those already published, we care not how long or to what ex tent he protracts the series. We would, holy • ever, just whisper in his ear, that by bringing his Shakspeare within reasonable and purchase able limits, he may stand a better chance of in creasing it.s circulation, and enabling himself to illustrate our other dramatic poets. In Beau mont and Fletcher especially, he will find amp:e materials for the exercise of his peculiar talents ; or ca 4 1,7,e well conceive a greater treat than his llustrations of the rOtliful Shepherdess would afford, were he to execute them witl? Op same fine tact and power of sylvan imagination with which he lics embellished the Midsummer Night's Dream, an 4 A.e other more fanciful and pastoral dramas of our great national bard. The present Number contains the Illustrations of Cymbeline, and evince throughout much de licacy of taste and sweetness of portraiture. Nothing that we know of, is, in its way, more beautiful or more touching than " lachimo's Attempt on Inmgen, - as we perceive Mr. How ard somewhat questionably styles it. The cun ning sensual expression of the " yellow Italian's countenance is placed in fine charac teristic relief to the graceful, and severe dignity of Imogen's manner, when she reproves with eye (and what a fine eye Mr. Howard has given her !) and voice, the tempter's insulting propo sitions. Her outstretched arm and classically modelled bust have a truly impressive effect. No. IX. " Imogen reading the Letter from Posthumus, commanding her Death," is a sweet sylvan sketch, full of feeling and tenderness. The attitude of Imogen, who is seated beneath an oak, is co►aceived with consummate grace. No. X. " Imogen Disguised as a Boy," is good, but her legs are too thick. Mr. Howard should remember Lord Byron's beautiful description of a lady's feet and ankles, where he talks of them as Suggesting the more secret symmetry, Of the f►ir forms that that terminate so well. Thesuggestions occasioned by a sight of Imo gen's legs, as Mr. Howard has built them, are quite at variance with Lord Byron's ideas on the subject ; they are horrible to- think of ! With the exception of this one Illustration, the present Number is every way worthy of the former ones. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

The house 'was Crowded to suffocation, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. As early as nine o'clock yesterday morning, multitudes of vehicles of every description began to make their ap pearance on their way through Windsor to the course. Most of these came from the vicinity ; many, however, even at that early hour, had arrived from town. They proceeded slowly through the High-street—coaches, til buries, carts, gigs, chaises, caravans, cruelty vans inclusive, all laden with human beings, gentle and simple, induced by one motive or another to visit the scene of the day's spur , . A number of large waggons, arched over with oak branches in full verdure, conveyed some of the hum bler visitors, and seemed so many moving arbours that screened the beauty of the rustic toasts from the rays of the summer sun. These and other carriages of a similar description were crowded with passengers, without much regard to the capabilities of the wretched animals that drew therm We observed one vehicle of capacious dimen sions in which six-and-thirty passengers were dragged painfully and slowly along by three horses, harnessed uni corn fashion ; and generally speaking, the average of people, little, and big, conveyed in such vehicles, was in the proportion of nine or ten travellers to one horse. In strong contrast with this, there was tl e splendid barouche, whirled rapidly along with its brilliant company and rich appointments, by blood cattle; jade., bunters, and donkeys, all mingled together pell-mell. In the throng was one vehicle of a description new to this country,—an omnibus,—a huge machine carrying a mul titude of people, who were ever and anon amused with the notes of a keyed bugle played by a guard stationed' in the fore part of the carriage. But it would be a hopeless at tempt to endeavour to describe the motley appearance of the persons and things that met the eye at every turn of the road. At ten o'clock a very heavy shower of mingled hail and rain came on, and in a twinkling drenched the travellers passing through Windsor to the skin. Unfor tunately, it subsequently appeared, that it had not extend ed to Ascot, or the roads within some miles of the heath. where it would have been of essential service in laying the dnst, and rendering the course fitter for the running. On reaching the heath, about half-past twelve, we found an immense concourse of persons already assembled, and crowds of carriages drawn up along the course, to the extent of more than half a mile, from the winning in the direction of the old mile starting post. These were in many cases placed 16 or 18 deep, awl served as stands from which to view the races. Looking round in almost every direc tion at this moment, " the cry was still-,-they come." Strings of carriages and equestrians were visible, titreich,. ing out interminably on all the principal roads leading td' the ground. From the points where these emerged from the forest scenery, the moving masses were distinctly seen, and their existence far, very far beyond, as well as the course they took, was indicated by clouds of dust rising high above the trees that concealed them, and whirling along like sand of the desert. The morning panorama, seen from the top of the betting-stand, was among the most splendid and imposing things we ever beheld. It is impos sible to conceive any spectacle more magnifieent. The horses and equipages approached at an almost funeral pace in consequence of frequent obstructions, and there were many and tedious stoppages ere they reached the ground. When all had assembled, which was not the case till nearly the commencement of the races (about two o'clock) the spectacle was such as no words of ours can describe. The betting-stand was crowded with rows of beads, tier above tier. The sides of the course were lined with double and triple lines of spectators on foot ; behind whom, on the side opposite to the royal stand, were ranged carriages, as before-mentioned, clustered over with human beings standing on and clinging from every part of them. So dense wan the crowd, that it was utterly impossible for three-fourths of the persons present to obtaiklryttrytet. : the running, or know any thing of the result of tlieiaress except by report. In the intervals between the heats the course was filled with promenaders. The bright draperies of the females, the splendour of the equipages, the absence to a great degree of the inelegant 11 . uery which detracts from the pleasing effect of places of general resort nearer the metropolis ;—all these, and many other matters, which it were needless to record, contribute to render Ascot what it is at race times, in estimating the peculiar ad vantages of thin meeting, it is impossible to leave out of consideration the presence of the Sovereign and his Cottrt, which adds grace and dignity to the scene. _ _ His Majesty arrived yesterday at a quarter past one o'clock, attended by his suite, in the same manner as on the two preceding days, and which, in our former account of the proceeding,: at these races we have described. The same tokens of loyalty and respect were offered to the Sovereign. as before, and they were acknowledged by his Majesty's usual condescension and dignity. The icing looked remarkably well, and took the greatest interest in the running, particularly in the race for ►the cup, in which his favourite, Colonel, was entered. In a word, so vast an assemblage has not been seen at these races since the time when the Allied Sovereigns were present, if the company then collected were as numerous, of which some persons are doubtful. The great race (for the gold cup) was an extremely in teresting one; the horses went off at speed, rind tse run ning to the close was excellent. A strong fooling per vaded the course in favour of Colonel, who, having been left I'4 behind, pulled up considerably towards the end of the raoe, amidst the applause of the spectators, but he was unable to recover lost ground, and Zinganee won cleverly. It was said en the course, that Chifney had sold Zirtgar.eo on the morning of the race to Lord Chesterfield, it is re ported for his Majesty. The tears ace variously stated at 4,000 guineas cr,d at •,,1.,560 guineas, with 500 guineas e;tra, in the event of Zinganee winning the cup. We give these statements as we receive them, without vouch ing for their accuracy. The race came off undt.; heavy rain, which commenced just as the h9.;4e4 started, but did not drive the spectators from their pests, however unpro tected from weather. Previously the day had been remarkably fine. At the 'close of the cup-race the King mada a slight movement with his arms, at the same time raising his hands, as if somewhat; surprised at the result. nig Majesty left the Stand as he had entered it, amid the cheering of the mulitude. He was accompanied in his carriage, coming and returning, by the Puke of Cum berland, Prince Linven, and the Dik 9f Leeds. The dis tinguished individuals whu, we mentioned as h av i ng attend ed on th e Iwp preoeding 2 days, were all o f th em aga i n pre , sekit yesterday, besides a multitude more—to record the names of all would he nearly to transcr4 the Court Guide. It was observed that the Duke of Wellington was not present, At the conclusion pf the. day, great was the consterAaT tion tlcited, among feathers, silks, bonnets, and their fair wearers, by the rain which de.scentle4 i towrents. On the whole the cla,x's _sport was very good—the par ticulars of 46K r,;niiing are subjoined The following statement of the running will show that there was a new disposition of the raves as compareol with former meetings ; the gold cup, instead of being run in the middle, was appointed to be deciAl..ad last, and did not come off till past five 0'c10.4, nastead of half-past two or three o'clock . t 4 proper time.

Aft( r considerable trouble the hors. s were brought to : the post, where two or three false starts threw the rave hack to a little after five o'clock.

We never saw any thing more finished than the style in which Zinganee came in-- nothing could live with him, and it must be allowed that he has now proved himself to be the best horse in the kingdom, and the best, too, that has been known for many years. Cadland and The Colonel were near two lengths behind Mameluke, Cadland being third by about a neck ; Green Mantle was fifth, and the other three were no where Rinzas.—Zinganee by Chifney, Mameluke by W liont ley, Cadland by Robinson, Green Mantle by Lye, The Colonel by H.

CAN A NATION BE TOO RICH. I cannot answer that question without dis tinguishing between a people and a. State. A State cannot have more wealtlrat..its-cornmand than may be employed for the general good, a liberal expenditure in national works being one of the surest means of promoting national pro sperity, and the benefit being still more evident of an expenditure directed to the purposes of na tional improvement. But a people may be too rich; because it is the tendency of the commer cial, and more especially the manufacturing sys tem, to collect wealth rathpr than to (Mime it. Where wealth is successfully employed in any of the speculations of trade, its increase is in proportion to its amount ; great capitalists be come like pikes in a fish-pond, who devour the weaker fish ; and it is but . too certain, that the poverty of one part of the people seams to in crease in the same ratio as the riches of another. There are examples of this in history. In Por tugal, when the high tide of wealth flowed in from the conquests in Africa and the East, the effect of that great influx was not more visible in the augmented splendour of the court, and the luxury of the higher ranks, than in the dis tress of the people, But different causes are in operation at this time, and they are likely to be inore permanent and more pernicious. Com merce and manufactures, nearly as they are con nected, differ widely in their effects upon so ciety, The former, it cannot be denied, has produced enormous evils when it has been asso ciated with schemes of conquest and usurpa tion ; but this i s no natura l .association.— Its kiatural operations are wholly beneficial, binding nations to nations and man to man. How opposite the manufacturing system is in its tieutioncy must be manifest to all who see things as theyare, and not through the delusive medium of their own theories and prepossessions. We are not accustomed to class the mercantile pro fession among the liberal one; and yet it ought to be classed among the most liberal, as being that which, when properly and wisely exercised, requires the most general knowledge, and :AAA.; the fairest opportunities for acquiring and en larging it. There is nothing in its practice which tends to contract the mind, to sophisticate the understanding, 07 to corrupt the feeKngs. The evil in that profession is, that men are temltedbythehopeofgreatprizesto vadue risks; the spirit of enterprise is allowee, to pass the bounds of prudence and of pr'aiciple . , and then the merchant becomes, in fact - , a gamester. Ex amples of this become r.iore frequent as the habits of life become mote emulously expensive. But the ordinaly and natural consequences of • - commerce are every tray beneficial; they are hu manizing, civilizing, liberalizing; if it be for the purposes of gain that it compasses sea and . land, it carries with it industry, activity, and improve ment. Whereas the immediate and home effect of the manufacturing tiystem, carried qn o,s it now is upon the great sale, produce physical and moral evil in proportion to tine wealth which creates,—Southey s Progret . and Prospects of Societ . y, •
