Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. COUNTY OF WATERFORD. THE COOLISHALL AND GLENMORE ESTATES. TWO exceedingly- beautiful and highly improvable FREEHOLD PROPERTIES, including altogether nearly ONE THOU SAND TWO HUNDRED ACRES of PASTURE, ARA BLE, WOOD, and MOUNTAIN LAND, producing at Rents and annual value upwards of One Thousand Pounds. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has been favoured Viith the instructions of the Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at Morrison's Hotel, Dawson-street, Dublin, on SATIIIIDAy, the 23d of September , at Twelve for One o'clock, TWO HIGHLY DISTINGUISHED and VERY VALUABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTIES, extensively known as COOLISILALL ESTATE and DEMESNE of GLENMORE It is styled EAST BALLYGALLY HOUSE; and to which the attention of those who would invest in perfect security is earnestly requested. 'Dies:. very attractive estates have for a lengthened period enjoyed the proud distinction of being re cognised as PET PLACES OF THE LOCALITY which they adorn; the, are happily, situate upon THE BANK OF TIIE BLACKWATER, which abounds with salmon-trout, and the pure and limpid water of which NOBLE RIVER FLOWS BETWEEN THE ESTATES. They are also only three miles from the canal at Lismore, four from the quays of Tullowbridge and Tyreullen, on the river Bride, and twelve from the SEA-PORT TOWN OF YOUGHALL, ALL IN THE COUNTY OF WATERFORD. The situation needs no panegyric to those who are fortunate enough to have enjoysd ocular demonstration of its varied beauties; to those, however, who lack that advantage, a few brief observa tions will not be out of place. THE SCENERY is MOST ROMANTIC and LUXURIANT; THE RICHLY WOODED GLEN. And " PICTURESQUE FALL OF GLENMORE" Which is a portion of the Property, and considered one of its proudest features, forms the eastern boundary of Coolishail, and the river Araglin bounds it. on the north ; the house and demesne have the Blackwater on the north, with private boats and walks to connect them with the FAMED GLEN AND WATERFALL OF GLENMORE ; and on the west are thick plantations. The walks and shrubberies are very extensive, adorned by thousands of the choieest fruit trees and flowering shrubs, and the Residence commands extensive views of the Grounds of -- CiTENeAIRN ABBEY, FORT WILLIAM, THE CATHEDRAL, and CASTLE OF LISMORE, with many other seats of renown. The surpassing beauty of the ornamental timber renders the scene perfect; indeed there are many who have likened this favoured property to ELYSIUM. If profit be in the mind's eye of the purchaser, ho will find a suitable spot whereon to erect a mill or factory, with an UNLIMITED COMMAND OF WATER; and there are also numerous romantic and beautiful spots, admirably suited to the erection of villas ; in fact, the temptation will be irre sistible for a building operation on a large and profitable scale. 'The Domain extends altogether to nearly ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED ACRES OF ARABLE, PASTURE, WOOD, AND MOUNTAIN LAND. The residence is replete with comfort, and ample for all the legi timate desires of a family of high respectality. Nearly the entire property is irrigated, there is an unlimited command of lime-stone, limestone-sand, marle, and turbary ; all the neighbouring mountains abound in grouse, and the WINTER SHOOTING MAY BE ASSIMILATED TO THAT OF KILLARNEY," And the HUNTING and FISHING unsurpassed any where. Very descriptive particulars will be ready for circulation 28 days prior to the sale, and can then be obtained of W. B. Cowley, Esq. 8, Lower Gardiner-street, Dublin, who will give orders to see the Estate ; also, at Morrison's Hotel, Dublin ; and on the Exchange; also, at the Exchange, Belfast, Cork, and Limerick ; W. C. Jack son, Esq.'s, 58, Lincoln's Inn-fields ; 1. L. Curtis, Esq., Cork ; the Auction Mart; and Mr. George Robins's Offices, London. (Abridged from the Chester Chronicle.) Fro.n the moment that an opposition was raised against Mr. Wilbraham, the whole crew of Tories flocked lile wolves to a banquet to his destruction. He has against him all whose patriotism is plunder, whose god is gain, the idle aristocrat, the hireling lawyer, the bloated parson, the sneaking slave who would barter his soul for a mess of pot tage—a race more obscene than was ever " spawned on the bed of Nile,"—all eager to eject a Reformer and sub stitute for the government of the Whigs the drunken legis lation of Stephano and Trincula on their island. That no man may say this is too strongly expressed, we call his attention to what follows. A Parson, signing him. self Joshua King (clarum et venerabile nomen), would pur sue Mr. Wilbraham with the malignity of Caliban himself. Hero is a precious production : " Woodchurch, July 31, 1837. " Dear William,—As your name is on the list of voters for my district, and knowing you to be a true Churchman, I feel confident I shall not apply to you for your rote in vain, at the approrching election. Sir Philip Egerton and Mr. Corbett are our men. Vote for them, and let us turn out that radical revolutionist George Wilbraham, who sup ports, through thick and thin, an Administration that has attempted to rob our Protestant Church of their property ; and who has forced upon us the new, monstrous, and inhu man Poor Law Act ; compelling us to build workhouses, or, as they may m o re p ro p er ly b called jails, for the recer tion of our aged and infirm poor, where the poor will be treated as criminals, although they have committed no crime, and will be put upon jail allowance ; where man and wife are to be separated from each other ; where children will be separated from their parents, and where their main tenance will cost us twice as much as it has ever yet done. Let us, I again repeat, turn out such an inhuman monster as George Wilbraham. Attend the nomination on Friday next, and come to the scratch for Egerton and Corbett on the day of election.—Yours truly, " JOSHUA KING." P.S.—Try what you can do witl; DI r. Foster, who for meriy lived at Willaston, and is now a neighbour of yours, with any other voter." Now who would believe that this specimen of the church militant who stigmatises Mr. Wilbraham . as an inhuman monster for his support of the Poor Law Act is the most constant attendant as a guardian of the Wirral Union, and that Mr. Edwin Corbett himself for whose support the epistle is written, is the Vice-Chairinan of the Northwich Union ? The non-resident Joshua's two benefices is at the bottom of this disgraceful cry. And his patrons, Sir Phi lip Egerton and Mr. Corbett, may say to him, as Stephan° rays to his slave Caliban—" There is not only disgrace and diAonour in that monster, but an infinite loss." And so we dismiss this son of Nun. He will neither set the Thames on fire, nor make the sun and the moon stand still. The Tory opposition to Mr. - Wilbraham has been orga nized since their disgraceful success at Liverpool. Mr. Corbett has no property in the county. He has been con stantly and arbitrarily the opponent of the poor. M. Hennecart, an extravagant young man, entitled to . a considerable sum of mon e y on his coming of age, ap plied, through the medium of two of his associates, M. Poncet, of Toulon, and Searadino, a sub-lieutenant, who had been dismissed from his regiment for misconduct, to a money lender, named Hugues; for an advance of four thousand francs upon a bill and judgment, to become available on Hennecart's attaining his full age. Hugues consented to make the advance, but paid only fifty francs in cash, giving for the remainder various goods, which were stated to be fully worth the difference, but were afterwards sold by auction and produced no more 325 E, which sum before it came into the pocket of Hennecart was reduced by the charges of sale to 173 f. Thus, for his securities to the amount of 4,000 f. he received only 223 f. The trawfaction becoming known to M. Hennecart, the father, a prosecu tion for swindling and usury was immediately instil uted against the three confederates before the Tr;bunal of Police Correctionnelle. Searadino, being absent, was con demned by default to two years' imprisonment. Hugues and Poncet were sentenced to two months' imprisonment and a fine of 25f. each. Hugues alone appealed, but the Procurcur du Roi appealed against them both, on the ground that the punishment was inadequate to the offence. The two appeals were heard yesterday before, the Cour Royale, when the judgment against Hughes was confirmed, but the imprisonment of Poneet extended from two to four months. FRESH WATER AT SEA.—Odd it may seem, the Savannah Georgian assures us that the fact of the ex istence of a large mineral fountain, at sea, to the southward of St. Augustine, is confirmed by Lieutenants Pettigrue and Ingraham, as well as by Captain Sisson of the schooner Krit. This fountain has been frequently seen and describ e d by others, but from the singularity of such a phenomenon its existence has often been a subject of discredit. As de scribed by the gentlemen mentioned the fountain is situated about 21 miles from the land, and eight or nine miles from St. Augustine lighthouse, the latter being by compass N. W. by W. It is distinguishable at some distance by a yellowish appearance on the surface of the sea, and the breaking or rippling of its escaping waters on the weather side, and a sul phureous atmosphere may be smelt half a mile to leeward of the fountain. The soundings adjacent to the fountain are 9 fathoms on the land side. In the fountain itself Captain Sisson reports that the lead at 23 fathoms failed to touch. The waters of this fountain, as far as their observations went, were cool, brackish, and sulphureous, and the volume discharged they conjecture to be as large a column as 100 feet dia meter. But as to the mariner, the locality of this fountain is worthy of particular attention, because, instead of its being a shoal, as some of the breakers might indicate, it may be a good mark at a time when other landmarks can not be seen. Instead of a Scylla and Charybdis to be avoided he may find an opportune haven for the supply of fresh water. Another marine eruption on a larger scale is reported to be situated in the Gulf of Mexico, abreast of Charlotte Harbour, and another in the Bay of Bengal abreast of the Ganges, which strengthen the probability that they occur more generally. Another deceptive ap pearance in the eruption of St. Anastatia caused it to he mistaken by some on board for the exuvia ot, whales. The limestone fountains of Florida are encrusted with a white deposit which, refracted through the transparent water, makes an illumination, which to the eye at some dis tance, seems a yellowish loom. Refractions of this sort are familiar to those who have sailed among the calcareous shoals of the West Indies. Remarks.—The geologist will recollect the Florida is a mass of coral rocks and shells, and through these are intesticcs and caverns communicat ing by submarine arcades to the sea. Hence in the Ba hamas (the same formation) the brackish clear water of all these lagoons, the fall and rise, sea fish, &c. ; and the le gend (true probably) that the group stands on a sublime architecture of Corinthian columns of coral rock pillared in the deep sea. These facts may lead us to some light on the above. Why may not the above he the outlet of some of the lagoons of the Everglades, &e.?— American Paper. A few days ago, a regiment of infantry passing through Pont-a-Mousson, the inhabitants of the town were required as usual to furnish bedding for the soldiers. Amongst the number was a wealthy but avaricious pro prietor, on whom was levied the not very burthensome contribution of a palliasse. The old gentleman happening to be absent on business at Nancy, an aged female domes tic, who for a quarter of a century had acted as his factotum, stripped his bed of an exceedingly ancient palliasse, which " had done the state some service," replaced it. with a new mattress which the miser had locked up in his granary, and hied her to the barracks with her contribution. On re turning in the evening, and learning the change which had been made in the economy of his sleeping arrangements, the proprietor grew pale as ashes, and ordered his domestic to take the new mattress to the barracks, and bring back his favourite palliasse. The domestic obeyed ; but being un able, in consequence of the lateness of the hour, to obtain an entrance into the soldier's quarters, was obliged to re turn without accomplishing his mission. The miser be came furious, quitted the house, paSsed the night on a stone b,!nch at the barrack door, and in the morning succeeded in obtaining his precious palliasse. On reaching his own home he seized a pair of scissars, and with a trembling hand ripped up the old relic of bygone days, and actually howled with delight as the instrument came in contact with forty thousand francs in paper and gold, which he had buried in the palliasse, as the safest depository of his trea sure. In the height of his joy and gratitude he sent to the barracks—to demand his new mattress as soon as the regiment might resume its march.—Fr ench Paper.

Subjoined will be found a very able and seasonable communication on certain " points in the operation of the Reform Bill requiring investigation." It is no doubt true that the Reformers got something more than the Bill whorl the freemen and the tenantry-at-will were forced upon them. We arc always unwilling to dwell on the faults of friends ; hut we confess there is something in the want of sagacity ,lisplaved by the Reformers when they fell into Lord Chandos's fifty-pound-tenantry trap, which we cannot se lect on with any degree of patience. That most disastrous clause *as warmly supported by such men as Lord Western, Mr. Hodges, Mr. Benett, and our Correspondent informs as that Mr. Hume also was weak enough to assist in open ing this door to boundless intimidation. Lord Althorp, with his usual sagacity, exposed the clap-trap non sense uttered about the respectability of farmers. " No man (said his Lordship) was better aware than he was of the respectability of the farmers. Few men knew more about filen), or had a higher opinion of their intelli zence and integrity. But the question was, were they in such a situation as would ensure the same independence as to their votes as might be expected from freeholders. It was urged on the part of the occu pier of land that he was a man of some capital, that it often happened that the occupier of land paying a rent of 501. a year had embarked a capital of .5001. or 6001. on that land, though without any lease, and only a tenant at will. That might be, and he had no doubt it was so in a great many instances ; but see how this operated be tween him and his landlord. If a man thus circumstanced should vote contrary to the wish of his landlord, and he was turned out for it, he would lose all the capital he had em barked in the land. He would not, of course, lase his stock or his crops, but he would lose all that he had expended in its improvement ; and all who were acquainted with the na ture of land, and the employment of capital upon it, must be aware of the inconvenience and loss which a tenant must be put to if obliged to quit at a short notice, when he had cal culated up on a longer possession. Now, all these circum stances were so many motives which must make such a tenant dependent on the will of his landlord, and which must, in the same degree, detract from his independence as an elector." It is sally astonishing that after this demonstration of the mischievousness of the clause it was, notwithstanding, supported by 232 to 148. Our correspondent observes, that " Mr. Hume and a few other Reformers owe a very heavy debt to their coun try, for the ruin their unfortunate support of this clause (which enabled it to be carried) has inflicted upon it." We believe that many of the Reformers have personally had cause to lament their votes on that occasion. Some of them no doubt thought that though the new class of voters would be dependent., yet that evil would necessarily lead to the ballot as a cure : but this is only another instance of the danger of Machiavelian policy. The giving the vote to men incapable o f independe n tly ex e rcising it was a cer tain evil, while it was not so certain that the evil would ever be remedied. The Reformers who supported this clause, with the best intentions we are willing to allow, have, notwithstanding, inflicted a greater injury on Reform than any of' the Tories who directly opposed the Bill. As our correspondent truly observes, the Bill has failed of its effect, through the additions to it which several of the Re formers themselves were silly enough to adopt. POINTS IN THE OPERATION OF THE REFORM BILL REQUIRING INVESTIGATION. TO TIDE EDITOR OF Tar, MORNING CHRONICLE. Stn,—There are two or three points on which it seems to me to have become absolutely necessary to obtain correct information, as to their operation on the representation. 'File Reformers are sometimes taunted and told, " You called for the bill, the whole bill, awl nothinp, but Me you have got it, and you are the movers for alteration, not the Tories." Now, in at least two most important particulars the Re formers, it is known, did not so succeed ; and they seem to me of such vital importance as to be likely wholly to defeat the views of those concerned in passing the bill. If this be so, we shall surely have a right to consider whether we should not take active steps to get one full measure, which we arc told we have got, and ought to be bound by. In an evil hour the force of die freemen defeated that pact of the Bill which d:sfranchised them. And, equally fatally, we get something " more than the Bill" in the la mentable introduction of the 50/. tenants-at-will, moved for by Lord Chandos. Mr. Hume and a few other Reformers owe a very heavy debt to their country for the ruin their nnlin.tunate support of this douse (which enabled it to be carried) has inflicted upon it. I verily believe that this clause is the occasion of all the late and present difficulties s a s d m ei.iriotsc;h chance o o u f t s i u t e c S e i s r s. l a t i . o P o e f e P e s o u a r t s t e e mpt would aTlem ha b s a ;e rr l a i increa s ed and increasing destruction which now shows itself in a ll the old county Liberal constituencies would have been spared. The Liberals would now have probably two thirds (certainly, in my judgment, even now one•half) of the counts , representation. And the provision is so emi nently adapted to fraud and abuse, that there is no chance of the evil cnooutngtry in going its n influence.,andabsorbing, I believe, nearly the whole What I, therefore, propose is, that active steps should be taken, wherever possible, to get a return or the best es timate, as regards this and last election, of the polls, as they would have stood 1. In boroughs, without the freemen. 9 . In counties, without the tenants-at-will. As to the freemen, the case has been too much discussed to need further remark from me ; except that the diminu tion of numbers among them rather, in most places, aggra vates than abates the evil ; as they become more compact and useable for corrupt purposes. As to the t e nants-at-will, the case is very peculiar. The influence exercised over them is not one to be avoided or restrained ; and it has this particular difficulty about it, that even tne Ballot would scarcely reach it to avy import ant extent. The absolute power of the landlord to net, even on the barest suspicion, will shake the nerves of men howev e r disposed to resist : the inquisition that may, with ease, be brought to bear will render it very difficult to es cape detection. Tenants may, at all events, with care, be selected who can he relied on. And it should be recol lected, that if polling-places are as numerous as they must be, to destroy the expense, treating, &c., on journeys to the poll, then it will not unfrequently happen that whole dis tricts are occupied by the serfs of one landlord, who must, therefore, at least learn the fact that a certain number of rebels are in his camp. Lastly, there is no prevention which can be applied, as the law stands, to the landlord requiring doubtful men to stop at home. This leads me to the suggestion whether the friends of the Ballot have sufficiently considered the enormous ex tent to which this preventive influence would be systemati cally resorted to in the case of Ballot elections. It is even now much and increasingly used by those who pretend to some sort of conscience, is very plausible, and exceedingly embarrassing to the subject. The Ballot must, therefore, I conceive, be certainly accompanied by a blow at this practice ; and if one can be devised which would embarrass influence in that case, it would also reach other sorts ; and why should we not try it, while the public are screwing themselves to ballot-pitch, and objectors say, " Let us try every thing else first," but, in fact, ted aeat d ti oen o ,no n ,ae o anf f t d( l ei i v ig c n i t co u ef o remedy courseem application i y b through cat ut i o n to d (except ti) declare pressae personally a lal and canvassing, a meetings)—all solicitation, tine's )—all int er f er i ng i n any way to obtain a yobptyteib,tiloli the get it withheld—all conveyances to the poll—all interrup tion, in short, with a man's sacred drily of proceeding freely and conscientiously to give his vote at the nearest place (for which purpose such places shotild be greatly multi plied), penally and morally illegal and criminal, as it would be to canvass a juryman, subjecting every person, who so committed himself to summary conviction in a reasonable penalty (say 10/.), on the evidence of the party attached or any competent witness. In the same way, of course, all letters should be declared illegal (except these of the can didate, arguments through the press, and public circu lars or advertisements); and my plan would involve the destruction of what are called committees fur conducting elections, by soliciting or bringing up voters, or paying any travelling or other expenses, which should be totally prohi bited. It would also be an enormous relief and protection to dependent voters if the browbeating system, now so pre valent, of influential persons crowding the hustings, to watch and intimidate the voters by their presence, were utterly abolished. The poll should be taken in freedom, by the officer and his assistants, and no one else ; except the necessary checks or clerks of the candidates, discharg ing their duties. I know no sight more i nso l en t an d b ru t a l th an t h at of overgrownjustices and parsons ranged over against every voter who comes up, cowing him by their looks and gestures, and watching him as they would watch a thief, who is as important a person there as any of them, and very likely ten times more honest viers and actions. At all events, let us t r y w h et h er th e s t at i st i c informa tion above mentioned can be got. If it give§ what I ex- To THE EDITOR. OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Bryanston-square, August 12. SIR--IC your paper of yesterday I observe some stric tures upon the conduct of Reformers who supported the 501. tenantrr . clause : in the course of which you say, •' Air. Hume also was weak enough to as;ist in openini this door to bound/es:intimidation.' Your Correspondent adds that, " Mr. Hume and a few Ohe... Rejimners owc a heavy debt to their country for the ruin their unfortunate support of this clause has inflicted on if.' I repel the charge altogether, and beg to be allowed to state the grounds on which 1 acted. I voted for the 50/. tenantry clause on the broad princi ple of extending the suffrage as much as possible ; and those who recognize property as a qualification for suffrage can scarcely aerm that a tenant of 50/. per annum is less entitled than a 40s. freeholder, or a 10/. householder to a voice in choice of his Representative. You, Sir, or your Correspondent, may say, "that the knowing the ,great landholders were chiefly Tories, mi!iht have fore seen how they would influence their tenant: ; and that the counties would in consequence generally return only Tory Members." I reply, that we were legislating for a nation, not for a party—for all time, not for the pre sent day only ; and I add, moreover, that had the Whig Ministry followed up the imperfect and mangled Reform Bill (which, however, gave them a sufficient and wiling majority) by amendments, giving ballot and household suf frage (both of which Lord John Russell informs us were in the first draft of that Bill), then the 50/. tenantry clause would have been no boon to the Tories. Let no blame rest on the right shoulders. It is to the short-comings of the Whigs, not to the weaknesses of their Radical sup porters, that they owe their present position in tile repre sentation of the counties ; and if they go on to patronize and dekr to Tory Lord-Lieutenants, and allow them to appoint only Tory Magistrates and county officials of all grades, they must abide the inevitable consequence—Tory representatives for all the counties. Further than all this, I deny that it is to the 501. te nantry chiefly that we owe the loss of the counties. In Middlesex-1 can speak from the best information—the number of 40s. freeholders which have been created since the election of 1835, and the thousand out-voters which the Tories boast of having brought up from all quarters to vote against me, might alone account for a defeat ; and if they had not had the 501. to coerce, they would only have made more 40s. ft eeholils. The Whigs ought to know that the Tories have the best tactics and the longest purses ; and if, from public or private motives, the Whip wish to retain their situations, it is for them to attend to the details of the machinery for counteracting these ad vantages. But those vsho deny even the present expe dience of giving votes to the 50/. tenantry would do well to inquire how the 101. householders have been coerced in the boroughs, and at what cruel sacrifices (which cannot often be repeated) sonic tradesmen, have defied Tory influence, and thereby given a ba..e majo rity . to Liberal candidates. Will they dare to say, " then deny the suffrage to both these classes?" No, they dire not. There is no other alternative, then, but to rein state the Reform Bill in its projected integrity. Give us vote by ballot, with, first, household (and eventually univer sal) suffrage, and then there need be no farther sparring between Whigs and Radicals, whose fault it is that the former are so hard pressed by the Tories ; for the Whigs, with good measures to propose, and the people at their backs, may defy all opposition. If they will do none of these things, whatever be the consequences, on them be the respansibility. I will nevus, • to suit the purposes of any party, abandon the great prin ciple--that representation should be, at least, co-exteusive ;vith taxation remain, Sir, your obedient, serValit, JOSEPH HUME GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK.

AMERICAN plants in pots may be placed in a cool situa tion ; Camelias also, and such Botany Bay plaws as have perfected their growth after blooming. EARWIGS are so destructive at this season, that too many modes of destroying them cannot be employed, espe cially with Dahlias.

Small flower-pots, half tilled with moss, may be also placed on stakes, and frequently examined, a few days perseverance will so overcome them that von will be able to calculate on a bloom, which, without this means, you may look for in vain. • THE FOURTH ESTATE.—The advance of th e people, and the lowering of the aristocracy have both been effected through the medium of the press. The position of authors has been much altered. Formerly we beheld such men as Dryden, Otway and mawy others (giants in their days) humbling themselves for bread. Now we have seldom a dedication, and of those few we have the flattery is delicate. The authors look to the public as their pa trons, and the aristocracy arc considered but as a part and portion of it. These remarks equally hold good with re spect to the Government. Authors are not to be so easily purchased as formerly. They prefer writing in conformity with public opinion to writing for Government, because they are better remunerated. Authors in England have little to expect from the Government and the aristocracy. Pen sions have been given, but they have been given for the sup port of political opinions, not as a reward of talent. That the aristocracy, with but a few exceptions have not fostered talent, is most true, and they' are now suffering from their want of judgment. They have shut their doors to authors, and the authors have been gradually undermining their power. To what extent this may be carried, it is impos sible to say ; but one thing is certain, that the press is more Nh t o h e e l y ,e have r be observes powerful dun either King or Lords, and tha t, if the con flict continue, th e l a tt e r must 3 , ield to the influen ce of the former,' who will have ample retaliation fo r the ne g lect to whichin his ounting house, the professional man engaged in h is dail y avocatio ns , or the tradesman at his business , w ill readil y come int o the merchant Whoever t t opinion that, in London at leap t, this class of p er sons subtjheecte d.—\'e stands highest in health and vigour. The regularity, punc tuality, and activity, commercial men in London exhibit in transacting their business, their being always at their post when called on, the facility with which grand, petit, and coroner's juries are assembled, the full attendance of mem bers at meetings of various societies and companies (parti tieularly if a dinner crowns the business of the day), all go to establish the fact of. the middling classes in London being in a good condition, exc ee din g t h a t i n whi c h e ith er su periors or inferiors are found.—Dr. Hogg's London As it Is. Five years ago there was not a s'nrile steam-boat to be see , in the Euxine. There are now eight or tee established at Odessa and Sebastopol, which ply le tween those ports an I Gahttz,Varna,Trebizond, Censtantii ()plc, and 'Smyrna. Three ;ears ago, the c ommunications between Cens!ant n ople and !.•;nivrna were kept up by means of a solitai y pa eke', whieh sometimec, with favourable winds, t ompleted its voy age in seuenty hours, but frequently, in conequence of ft. e , very changeable breezes in the Archipelago, was a week or a fortnight, or even longer, upon its way. The fares were. so high that few persons availed themselves of this convey ance ; and it was at length given up. Lately two steamers h vO A 3 v , e ,ge be i e n n th p ir u t t y uponhours t w h i7h at c s e ta r t t i n o i t. ' ,ty, , I.: Ti li , ? . tii . , t o rt in ,i p te :ti t hth fata lity. While we arc writing, the Turkish watetruen of tl , . Golden Horn and the Bosphorus, a numerous race. com prising from fifteen to twenty thousand men, and reputed to have inherited all the fanaticism of the extinct Janissa ries, are in mutiny against tier power of steam, which threatens, they say, to consign them and their families to ruin. In consequence of their hostility, the steamers be tween Constantinople and Smyrna have been compelled to suspend their operations. This is one of the checks which the progress of civilization is destined uniformly to encouu ter ; but no arm—not all the population of Stamboul com bined—can now repel for any considerable time this vital power from those seas. There is no nation to which the steam-boat is more es sentia!, or upon which it has already, considering the brief period of its existence there, conferred more signal :dvan tages, than upon Greece. Horace's ode, " Prensus in ,Egec," has celebrated the variable character of the wincig, and the manifold perils attending the navigation of that part of the Mediterranean. Those difficulties and dangers may now be said to exist only in his poetry. Three years ago, if a traveller desired to proceed from Smyrna to Na poli, or the Pirious, ho might have deemed himself forth. nate if he had not to wait three weeks for a small hark be tween the former port and Hydra ; the passage thither would have cost him at least three weeks more, and at Hy -1 dra be would still have had to confide in tertune for the discovery of some coaster which might enable him to ac complish his object ! The whole voyage is now performed in thirty hours. At this moment steamers may he den smoking in all directions to or from the Pirrous. Au omni bus cenducts the traveller in two hours from the port of Athens, over a macadamised road, which three years ago was a wretched bridle path, interspersed with brushwood and rocks! A railroad will soon convey him over the stone interval in twenty-five minutes. The consequence of tilese changes is already simply this—that round the Piraeus, where four years ago scarcely even a hut was to be sect), a town has already grown up ; and Athens itself, which the Turks left a pile of ruins, as at this moment one of the most beautiful capitals in Europe! But the perfection of this mighty innovation, in our Opi nion, consists in the fact, to which Mr. Seeecer has alluded, that wherever it appears, the spirit of coma ant 'mt . :ring im provement, which peculiarly characterises the civilization of England, is sure to follow in the wake of the paddles. The complaint of tie calque owners and rowers on the Bospho rus, is not such that their trade is injured by the steam boats ; on the contrary, the truth is. that the facility thus given to strangers to visit the " City of the Sultan," has very materially increased their trade. It is their prejudices which have taken the alarm. L.MERICAN ToWN-MAKING.-Thoe w!lo have been to the " west, where towns are wade in a night (on paper), sold in en hour, and built up in a week, have seen the arts. of :,peculators make a map of the surrounding country, laying down railroads and canals, .11 centering in their towns, which is thus demonstrated to be the future •• emporium of the west." The following anecdote takes off this practice of the town-speculating to aT. We copy it from a New Yorl: paper :—" A fellow who had observed all the sellers of land, and seen all the canals, railroads, which had been built on paper, brought a noble cow to one of the ! , .reat land markets to lie placed her by the side of one of the land otlices, and offered her for si . de. • What •is the price?' asked one. •It is GO dollars,' he answered. • Sixty dollars!' vociferated an astonished c ountryman ; • wl-y, is she worth so much'' ' Here is a map of her, a:(1 the fellow, pulling out a paper with a huge cow pictured upon it, from his breeches pocket ; and ho continued, • Yen see here the great Wildrt..t. turnpike runs immediately' under her tail to the City of tile Swamps.

Lecouvreur, the mistress of the hotel, maintained that she was not liable to make good the loss, because he had not warned her of his having left property of value in his apartment ; but this objection was overruled be the Tribunal, and she was adjudged to pay the sum lost, on an affidavit being made by M. Dedouyt as to the amount actually left by him in the secretaire.—Pari; Payer. Citulioit-RATES —Last week, a handbill was pretty extensively circulated in this city, announcing that the various articles which had been seize: l from a number of Dissenters under warrants of distress for Church-rates, would be sold by auction in the Women's Market-place on Friday afternoon—provided an auctioneer could be found for the purpose. Accordingly, at the. time appointed, a considerable number of persons assembled to witness this now very common process. by which the Church of England is established by lain. The goods announced for sults vr,re twenty-four volumes of books, seized from Mr. H. Merri drew ; thirty-five pounds of sole-leather, seized from s N e l i e r s e s d rs. t.ro N it m lers.e Edward a wire fender, and set of fire-irons , seized from Mr. W. i:;on forty-ninenop ; six pounds \ e v : nds or of i bza r r: : Mayo ; tour imitation rosewood chairs, seized from Mr. B. Peake : and twenty pounds anti a half of loaf sugar, seized from Mr. R. Hands. One half hour after another passed away, however, and .neither the articles above unwed, nor tin auctioneer, nor the Chief Constable, who made the seizures, appeared ; and we therefore infer that none of the auctioneers would undertake the business. We come to this conclusion, because we know that it was the wish of the parties, when before the Magistrates, that any goods seized should be sold by public auction: We know that the MagiStrates made no objection to it, and also that Mr. Prosser, the Chief Constable, expressed his readiness to comply with the request. 'Tie only reason, therefore, which we can assign for the goods not being offered by a uction is, that no auctioneer in Coventry would mix him self up in an affair savouring so strongly of oppression, and exem plifying-, to what an extent injustice may be perpetrated under the form of law. We understand that Mr. Prosser has since disposed of the goods by private• contract.— Co VC 11 iry Herald. C.l )bb t e h d en his lived master iti The .coidislant Baron de 13oneours, who, as our o f je readers ,vel s m a a n y d re e n n a e si n , l i s n e aboutrge amount,yc•ar ago, a Paris as a wan of fashion, for which trick he was tried and sentenced to hard labour at the hulks for 0 0 years, was again brought before the .jury upon an accusation of having. forged the acceptance of M. Cremieux, the horse-dearer, in the Champs Eylsces. to a bill for 1, 0 00 francs. On being called upon for his defeece the Baron, whose real name is Journet, admitted the forge • but declared that he had done it only to ra• , ,e another indictment agsinst him, and be removed to the prison of the Coneiergerie from that of Bicetre, where he found himself very necomiertable. lie added Clint it was impossible that M. Creuneux could ever have been defrauded of the money, and said that he wrote to inform bins of the bill hoping that his letter would be in tercepted by the police and his removal from Bicetre take place immediately. The Tury acquitted the Baron, upon which he entreated the Avocet-General, who conducted the prosecution, that he might not be sent back to Bicetre, but be allowed to remain at the Conei-rgerie until sent away to the hulks. The Avocet-General. not having it in his power to grant the request, recommended Journet to petition the Procureur-General.—Gakeneni.
