PROSPECTUS. In offering to the attention of the Inhabitants of Woreestershire a new Weekly Paper, entirely devoted to the County, it is incum bent upon us shortly to state the necessity from which the under taking originates, the advantages which will attend its adoption, and the political principles upon which it will be conducted. It is useless now to discuss the question whether the purpose of a Provincial Paper is best answered by engaging in the wide field of political discussion, or by confining itself more particularly to Inca 1 intelligence and the current news o the day ; sufficient is it to re mark that of the four papers at present published in this county, three are distinctly Tory, and the fourth abstains from taking any decided part. With a view of laying before the public the great truths of poli tical and social science, our present undertaking has arisen ; and while it shall be our anxious endeavour properly to direct the minds of our readers, our strenuous exertions shall be applied to impress upon them the paramount importance of maintaining those liberal principles which we hold essential to public prosperity, conducive to individual happiness, and consonant with the better feelings and nobler faculties of man. _ _ Op PROSPECTUS - A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER, TO BE PUBLISHED IN GATESHEAD, Under the Title of E GATESHEAD OBSERVER, E A A ND '''STLE DURHAM, AND NORTHUMBERLAND Th e s e ADVERTISER. re e i i;e:oretigh of Gateshead is one of the most flourishing Mu q , i l , )&l 'tles of the North of England. Its Commercial Cense le%ce and Political Power bear equal testimony to the hn l r n t dus e t a ry rs , Pendel l , of h ctio e, and Union of its Population. A few s of orable exertion have achieved its emancation from a state . tiep'elino,urban Inferiority, and placed it amongst England's most in- Pressor Communities. Its northern Neighbour—once its op thee e—°r— hovv stretches forth the hand of equality and alliancf , , b ai t ii e i d _sPirit of a common interest animates the population of both zee th e Tyne." The genial influences of mutual confidence, eilateteiredig the cold jealousies of a by-gone age, have fostered and I .d the wholesome fruits of liberal legislation. That know - z e :(4 e 13 Power," Gateshead is an evidence. That power may be enhallyested in an educated people, Gateshead is an ins . tan d ee t . bern lts .

If any one looks forward to the existence of the Worcestershire Chronicle as a convenient medium for personal invective or party calumny, he will be disappointed: if any man imagines that it is established in mere hostile opposition to any of the existing county papers, he is mistaken: if any one believes that it owes its origin to the excited feelings of any single class of liberal politicians, he is deceived : for it is set on foot by the united exertions of County and City Re formers of all grades, and it looks forward to the attainment of an end far higher than the gratification to be obtained from personal invective, party calumny, or editorial victory. The Chronicle will sift the nature of each political question, as it presents itself to public notice ; it will lay bare the arguments on which it rests, and expose their fallacies, if any there be. Our object is to lead our fellow-county-men to conic to conclusions and to form their judgments, not from one-sided views alone, but from a minute examination of the subject-matter in all its bearings. Yet, with the very best intentions, with all the caution it is pos sible to unite to that openness of conduct which at all times shall mark our course, how arduous the undertaking ! how difficult the management of a County Liberal Paper ! We cannot, like the Tory editor, address any well-compacted body of men. We cannot, like him, _guide ourselves by narrow party views ; for " THE PEOPLE" constitute our party, and within the range of our political horizon are Liberals of every shade : there, is the man whose principles, arc based on truth and justice, on the full enjoyment to all men of civil and religious liberty ; there also is he, whom prejudices (imbibed perhaps during a faulty system of public education) prevent from acting up to the full ex tent of such principles ; and there also may be found the man who, through timidity, often confines himself within still narrower bounds. . To all, we say, judge us not by any single act—but take us as a whole. If, for instance, we show ourselves favourable to " The Ballot," and there arc those, among our readers, who are not yet convinced of the necessity for its adoption, let them not withhold from us their support, on such grounds alone, but let them bear in mind the many points on which we do agree withthem, and let them listen to our arguments in favour of the measure. Let none c,nsider us unconstitutional, or anxious to subvert the existing order of things, because we maintain that the constitution was mae for the people, rather than the people for the constitution. Our object is to repair, not to destroy; to improve, and not to injure. We deprecate all changes proposed for the mere sake of change. While our columns are open for the insertion of communications from the professors of all religious tenets, we shall ourselves ab stain from advocating the doctrines of any particular sect. Upon all occasions we shall be found zealous promoters of moral order and social tranquillity : convinced that these are the cherished objects of every constitutional reformer. To the Agriculturist and Trader ; we shall afford the earliest in formation of fairs and markets, and of all that may be considered in teresting to them.

A Belief in the existence of the fountain of youth, from which those who bathed in its waters gained a - pristine energy, was among the speculations of the 15th century ; it will, how ever, serve as no inapt type of the revivifying powers of art and medicine. Those who, early victims to a morbid imagination, have sought fatally to anticipate the purposes cf nature, and have consequently lapsed into a state which brings with it weakened capabilities and clouded hopes, may by timely application to professiqnal treatment, regain those first, noblest, and best of pewers that have been compromised by the criminal propen s i_ ties of "guilty solitude," the progress of which is marked by the " lym_ phatica somnia" of Pliny, attended with bodily weakness ansl mental apathy. 'We may indulge a natural exultation in referring to our daily correspondence with grateful and convalescent patients, not confined to our own country, but diffhsed over the whole world. For twenty-five years has our peculiar treatment in cases of Nervous Debility proved emi nently successful, and we have hitherto resisted the earnest solicitations of our patients to publish their cases in a public address: the following, however, has been so urgently pressed upon us by a medical friend, that e have yielded to an importunity sufficiently excusable by the gratitude P evinces:— " Dear Sirs—My fondest hopes are realized!

DUBLIN, OCT. 23. TilE GENERAL A :soclATioN.—The adjourned meeting of the Association wig be held on Tuesday, the 24th inst., when it is believed that an adjournment over the 31st will be carried. A letter of much importance has been received by the Secretary, Mr. French, from Mr. O'Connell, which will be considered at the Association to-morrow. In this letter he states what course he means to propose. He will in the first instance move the appointment of a Committee to audit accounts, with a view to winding up the monetary business of the Association, and then he will submit a mo tion for the dissolution of the body. He states that he an ticipates objections to this course ; but it is one he has long considered, and he feels that, under the altered aspect of affairs, it is that which should be adopted, as tending to show the public confidence in the Government.—Pilot. ELECTION PETITION FUND.—The Mail, which of course every body knows is the common-carrier of all the filth, scurrility, and venom voided by the Irish Orangemen, to-day discharges a load of its literary ordure on Mr. O'Connell, of whose last letter to Lord Cloncurry this conservator of the proprieties thus speaks : " Some of our Contemporaries have said that Mr. O'Connell's last letter is one enormous lie. We differ from them—it appears to contain one truth—' The conspiracy concocted in London, has extended its branches all over Great Britain. I have melancholy evidence,' quoth he, of its extent from Caith ness to Cornwall.' " The Mail then proceeds stoutly to declare that Mr. O'Connell not only knew that the subscription was neither illegal nor unconstitutional, but that, if it had b een both the one and the other, he well knew that the proceedings suggested by him could not in the slightest degree serve his professed object. And that Mr. O'Connell's object was this :—we give the adscriptive in the words of our sagacious and scrupulous Contemporary :—" By a little blarney to the Duke of Leinster—by a delicate allusion to his Grace's celebrated Declaration '—by a flourish upon Whig patriotism, and the discovery of a new grievance, he hopes to get together some of the gentlemen and all the tail of Ireland, somewhere about the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot, and instead of Faukes's conspiracy, he will open upon Spottiswoode's, and descant very learnedly upon its unconstitutionality and illegality, and he may even go the length of hinting the effect it may have upon divisions in the House of Commons. The Noble Chairman will then put the question—' what is to be done ?'—upon which we venture to predict, that after a little discussion, and a great show of patriotic indignation, some Taller,' or per haps an ' Extra Aide-de-Camp of his Excellency'—perhaps Captain Stuart, Mr. O'Connell's gutter-agent during the election—will start up and move, as the best mode of meeting so unscrupulous an enemy, ' That a counter sub scription be entered into upon the spot ;' to which Ire land's only' cannot do less than subscribe—'say One Thou sand Pounds.' " This puerile twaddle, and singularly abortive attempt at humour, we presume, is the best fare the Jackall of the Tories can at present provide for their entertainment. A motion (he says) will be made in the House of Commons to the effect that a counter subscription be entered into ! 'rho above morceau may perchance contain the essence of wit, or possess the quintessence of humour ; but we confess our inability to discover any thing beneath the rubbish, but the vulgar, coarse craft of the mountebank, who tries hard to conceal his lack of matter by an overcharged manner. The Mail has no materials for a painting, but possesses enough of false wit and clownish grimace for a coarse caricature, or dirt-delighting daub. ABDUCTION or VoTERs.—In reference to the trial and conviction of two men noticed yesterday, the Frceman's Journal has the following just remarks :—The poor de luded tools of the base villainy of others are even now ex piating their crime by incarceration within the walls of a gaol. Liberty of the subject ! Where was it ever re spected, when it was an obstacle to the grasping and un principled designs of Conservatives. Yet these are the men who talk of disturbance and riot, who would have us be lieve that our election triumphs were achieved by coercing the people to record their votes against their inclinations. The foul, lying slander! Who coerces the people ? Who would drive them to perjury ? Who would compel them to vote for their tyrants and oppressors ? Not the Priests. No—these respectable and venerable Ministers of the God of Peace would not threaten ejectments, impound cattle—drive and cant—withhold leases—and break promises. No ; there are certain moral and social obligations which just and honest men would blush to violate. They would not organise bands of armed men to go in the dead hour of the night, and tear from a peaceful bed the old and trembling limbs of age. They would not have them bound by cords—driven off, and for cibly detained, to prevent their exercising an undoubted and constitutional privilege. They would not say to their tenants—unless you swear a falsehood before your God, you shall not stay upon my land. The frightful state of the country, the enormous prevalence of crime, are current topics amongst Tory journals. Will they now have the candour—the common honesty, to say by whom these things are brought about—and who are the prominent ori ginators and abettors—sometimes of fabricated outrages, sometimes of real and disgraceful ones—and often, very often, of atrocious and vindictive oppression ? We are not done with this subject. THE BELFAST DINNEIL—The annual dinner of the Bel fast Constitutional Society took place on Thursday. There was an immense quantity of time and talk- wasted in abuse of her Majesty's Ministers and Daniel O'Connell. On this occasion, Mr. Emerson Tennent did not play even second fiddle. ' How arc the mighty fallen !" Last year he was Chairman, and, as such, almost monopolised the speechifying. He spoke so often, and so long, that that Randy Plunkett, who went down big with speech, had not an opportunity of delivering himself. Tuis year Mr. Emerson Tcnnent only made one oration, and even that was most lamentably deficient in spunk. Poor young man—he seemed to feel most acutely the slight that was put on him. After all his sacrifices of principle and abandonment of early friends and predilections, lie was thrust aside without the slightest ceremony when he was no longer able to forward effectually the interests or designs of the faction—thrust aside, too, in favour of a stranger—of a man unconnected with the town, and unknown to half a dozen of its inhabitants. Mr. Emerson Tennent deserved better at the hands of the men for whom he sacrificed so much.—Freeman. Gus NNESS'S PORTER.—The Messrs. Guinness have given notice, that in consequ e n c e o f th e f requent attac k s that have been recently made by gangs of armed ruffians, on carriers bringing porter and bar:from their brewery, with the purpose of intimidating them from conveying these goods, they will pay to the police, or to any person who may arrest individuals destroying their property, for each individual so arrested and prosecuted t 3 conviction a reward of 20/. It is a fact which it would be an injustice not to record, that, from the day the Catholic Association was dissolved up to the hour of the death of Mr. Dwyer, Mr. O'Connell paid, out of his private purse, to that excellent public functionary the sum of 3001. per annum. In this instancy he did good by stealth : he need not now blush to have it made known to the public.—Pilot. A well-dressed female entered one of the alms houses in St, John's-street, Clerkenwell, and, after giving a poor old woman some tracts, and uttering a prayer, stated that she was one of a society o f l a di es for assisting the poor in winter clothing, and would put the old woman's name down for a gown and a blanket, towards the payment of which she said the society only required the payment of two shillings. The money was given without any suspi cion, but after the " religious benefactor" was gone away it was discovered that she had taken with her the poor wo man's silver watch. The same " lady," it is said, has com mitted several similar robberies. On Saturday, at the Kingston quarter sessions, the visiting magistrates of Kings.ton goal presented a report re lative to the state of that prison, which had been objected to by the inspectors appointed to examine the gaols, inv much as the male and tetnale prisoners had opportunities of being in each other's company. The report now stated that the evil could be remedied, and other alterations made, for 2001. After some conversation upon the sub ject, as to whether it would not be better to do away with the prison altogether, the matter was referred to a com mittee. The general impression is that the committee will decide upon doing away with the gaol. The mortality from measles varies greatly in differ ent years. Perc►val says, that out of 3,807 cases, 91 died, or lin 40. Watson says, that in one year, at the London Foundling Hospital, 1 in 10 died, and in anothor 1 in 3. In the same establishment, also, in 1794, out of 28 cases none died ; in 1793, out of 69 cases 6 died ; in 1800, out of 66, 4 died ; and the. aggregates of these dates, taken collectively, will give a proportion of deaths to recoveries of about 1 in 15, which nearly approximates to the cal culation of Home, who estimated them at. I in 12. Measles are more fatal in the winter than in the spring, summer or autumn. At the time when the New Town, Edinburgh, was built, the proprietor of the Gallow Lee, near it, finding it composed of excellent sand, sold it all away to the builders to be converted into mortar, so that it soon, from a rising ground, became a deep hollow. An amusing anecdote is told in connection with this fact. The honest man, it seems, was himself fully as much of a sand bed as his pro perty. He was a big, voluminous man, one of those per sons upon whom drink never seems to take any effect. It is related that every day, while the carts were taking away his sand, he stood regularly at the place, receiving the mo ney in return, and every little sum he got was immediately converted into liquor. A public-house was at length erec ted at the spot for his own behoof; and assuredly, as long as the Gallow Lee lasted this house did not want custom. Perhaps, familiar as the reader may be with stories of sots who have drunk away their last acre, he never before heard of the thing being done in so literal a manner. Last•evening an inquest was held at the Horse Shoe, Blackfriars, on the body of Lawrence Reilly, wh o was found dead in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, on Monday e , •ning last. It appeared that the deceased, who had been for some time out of employment, was, on the evening in question, on his way to visit a brother who was in the habit of ass•sting him, and who is in the employment of Messrs. Graham and Co., in Bridge-street, when he burst a blood vessel, and dropped dead in the street, where he was found. The body was carried into the house of Mr. M‘Whinnie, surgeon, who employed the means usually resorted to in apoplectic cases to restore animation, but without effect. Upon a post motion examination, it was found that the de ceased had burst a blood vessel in the lungs. Verdict— Natural Death. Considerable interest had been excited by the expec tation that the Blue-coat boy, Octavius Gibbon, who stood committed for a robbery on a respectable female named Field, while travelling on a coach between Ramsgate and Deal, would be tried at the late East Kent Sessions ; the witnesses, however, although bound over to appear and give evidence, did not attend before the grand jury, and were in consequence called upon their recognizances, which were ordered to be estreated, and the prisoner was discharged. It will be remembered that the prisoner, dressed in the cos tume of the respectable public school of Christ's Hospital, London, committed thi robbery whilst outside the coach, by cutting the dress of a lady and abstracting her purse, containing upwards of two pounds. The lady was very un willing to prosecute ; and it is supposed that the friends of the family h :ye interposed to save him and them from the di,grace of being publicly tried and convicted. His mother is a highly respectable widow with eleven children, residing in London.—Keutish Chronicle. ORIGIN OF YANKEE DOODLE.—In the attacks made upon the French posts in America in 1755, those against Niagara and Frontenac were made by Governor Shirley, of Massachussets, and General Jackson, of New York. Their army, during the summer, lay on the eastern b ink of the Hudson, a little south of the City of Albany. In the early part of June the troops of the eastern pro vinces began to pour in company after company, and such air assemblage of men never before thronged together on such an occasion, unless an example may be found in the ragged regiment of Sir John Falstaff. It would have re laxed the gravity of an anchorite to see the descendants of the Puritans marching through the streets of that an cient city, and taking their stations on the left of the British army, some with long coats and others with no coats at all, and with colours as various as the rainbow ; some with this hair cropped like the army of Cromwell, and others with wigs, the locks of which floated with grace around their shoulders. Their march, their accou trements, and the whole arrangement of the troops, fur nished matter of amusement to the British army. The music played airs of two centuries ago ; and the tout en semble, upon the whole, exhibited a sight to the wondering strangers to which they had been unaccustomed. Among the club of wits that belonged to the British army there was a Doctor Shuckburg attached to the staff, who com bined with his knowledge of surgery the skill and talent of a musician. To please the new corners, he composed a tune, and _with much gravity recommended it to the offi cers as one of the most celebrated airs of martial music. The joke took, to the no small amusement of the British. Brother Jonathan exclaimed it was " nation fine," and in a few days nothing was heard in the provincial camp but the air of " Yankee Doodle." Little did the author in his com position then suppose that an air made for the purpose of levity and ridicule should be marked for such high des tinies. In twenty years from that time the national march inspired the heroes of Bunker's-hill ; and in less than thirty Lord Cornwallis and his army marched into the American lines to the tune of " Yankee Doodle."—Martin's History of North Carolina. Martha Whitworth, a young woman about 22 years of age, was removed to the asylum at Wakefield on Friday. She has for some time been labouring under insanity. Among (A s her fancies which the poor maniac took, was that of recreating herself with a walk, not in the shrubbery or by murmuring and shady water, but up the chimney ;and so nimble was she in her tasteful walk, that a sweep of most e xpert parts might have envied her amiable dexterity. The poor girl (who, before this dreadful malady, was remarkably good looking) became at last furious, and was a terror to all around her, and her friends were compelled to remove her to the asylum, all hope of bringing her round at home having vanished.—Leeds Times.

Sheppard, wine -merchant, Lower Grosvenor.street Saturday morning, between seven ,and eight, Mr. Coats, boot and shoemaker, 15, James -street, Covent garden, put a period to his existence by cutting his throat with a razor. He got up as usual, opened the shop, and afterwards retired to the back parlour, where he committed tibe rash act. On Mrs. Coats coming into the parlour a few minutes after she discoved him weltering in his blood, with his head nearly severed from the body. Surgical as sistance was immediately procured, but he was dead. On Saturday the orderly man of the Blues was re turning from his duties at the Horse Guards, and being mounted on a very high-bred but rather vicious mare, she commenced kicking and plunging on entering the Park at Hyde Park Corner, in a manner that very much alarmed the passers-by. The mare could not unseat the man, who rode her in the most beautiful style ; but on reaching the bridge at the back of Goding's brewery she bounded at one spring completely over the parapet, and fell on the bank beneath, a depth of about eighteen or twenty feet. The man was slightly hurt on the back by the cuirass, but the mare was not in the least injured. The man's name is William Good, of Major Smith's troop. On Saturday night last, as a carman in the employ of Mr. Houlditeh, vinegar-maker, of Bankside, South wark, was driving his horse and cart towards Storey's Gate, St. James's Park, his foot came in contact with a stone ; he fell down under the horse's feet, and before be could extricate himself one of the wheels went over his loins. Some few persons who witnessed the accident stopped the horse and conveyed the unfortunate man to the Westminster Hospital, where every attention was paid to him, but death terminated his sufferings last Monday e% ening. _ _ Although individuals born in Guernsey have in England all the rights that pertain to every inhabitant of Great Britain, yet no person barn out of this small island can exercise the common rights and privileges of an inhabi tant without first obtaining letters of naturalization from the Royal Court. • -Cmict. THE: LIVERPOOL MAIL—We observe that a line of available railway has been completed between London and a station on the Grand Junction, distant about thirty miles from the metropolis. It is the bounden duty of the Postmaster-General promptly to adopt such measures as shall ensure the conveyance of the Liverpool mail along practicable trams. We say it is his bounden duty, for by persisting in sending the letter bags the whole length of the distance between London and Birmin g h am by coach, the mail arrives at its destination two hours later th an th e time at which, by an alteration in the conveyance of it, it might be brought. The reason is obvious ; the coach will occupy up wards of three hours and a half in travelling the 30 miles, while the railway engines will skim over that space in one hour. The letters and papers which arc not in the Liverpool post otlice before half-past II o'clock, might be and ought to be due at nine. Besides, it. frequently occurs that, important communications from London, despatched in order that they may be forwarded by some of the foreign Liverpool packets, do not overtake the conveyance for which they are destined, unless they arrive before 10 or 11. We might instance the case of the Ame r i can pac k ets, w hi c h may happen to sail at an early tide. At present we dismiss the subject. We cannot forbear, however, enforcing on the mercantile community, the immediate necessity of discussing by petition or remon strance, an advantage which the Government are bound to extend to them, and which would materially facilitate the internal operations of trade.

A beautiful specimen of the wild cat has been lately added to Dr. Sinclair's admired collection of birds and quadrupeds. The animal, which is exceedingly rare in this country, was shot about a fortnight ago, a few miles beyond Latheron Wheel by the gamekeeper to the Hon. Robert Dunbar, of that place. The length of this wild animal from the snout to the tip of the tail is three feet six inches, height sixteen and a half inches, and it measures six inches across the head between the ears. On its being dissected the leg of a moorfowl, as well as some of the hones of the head of a rabbit, were found within it. One of the wild cat species was shot some time ago in Brae more, similar to the one belonging t o D r . Si nc l a i r ; an d we have h ear d a story of one of a still more ferocious na ture that was destroyed in Sutherlandshire not many years ago, but not before it had killed two dogs that were set on it.—John o'Groat Journal. A splendid aurora borealis appeared at Geneva at 7 P.m, on Wednesday last. It is a singular fact, that last year a similar phenomenon had been observed there precisely on the same day of the month and at the same hour. f" NEW ZEALANDERS. In the sale of their produce to Europeans every possible advantage of a petty nature is attempted to be taken. , It is no uncommon thing to discover an old mat dipped in water in the middle of a basket of flax, in order to increase the weight, with the intention of getting a greater value it, or the flax itself is wetted, and much inferior quality placed at the bottom. In their baskets of potatoes or 'tu rners the very largest is always placed at the top, white the remainder of the basket is most likely the gleanings of the field. The New Zealanders in their persons are very dirty for they never in any instance wash any of their clothing; . the consequence is, that their bodies are always covered with vermin, which they call a koota, (a louse.) There are two distinct species of this little animal —one, perfectly black, which generally inhabits their heads, which arc there fore sacred, and one, of a silvery white colour, which is always to be found on their bodies and mats, and which they invariably eat ; but in no instance do they ever cat those from their heads, or indeed anything which has ever touched it, even after having scratched the heads with their fingers, they put the fingers to the nose and repeat some short words for the purpose of taking off the harm which might otherwise occur to them were they not to do so. In the cutting of their hair they are very particular : this is gene rally performed by some old person (a priest), and the hair is very carefully gathered up and buried in sacred ground ; and in very few instances will they enter the house of an European where any description of food is hanging higher than their heads, which they esteem as tho most sacred part of their person, and you cannot commit a greater sin towards them i - ban to touch their heads, or to stroke the head of a young chief child ; in fact, in some parts of New Zealand it would be dangerous to do so, as they would rob or perhaps even kill you for payment. There are a number of Europeans livingin the country who believe in all their sacred forms, and who, in cases of sickness, will even send for a native priest to pray for them, and on recovery will give them all the credit for it, Alti:ough, in one instance, I knew the recovery to be from the apillication of a mustard poultice to the small of the back, anci bathing the feet in warm water, which I myself prescribed. . I have known a European, who wished to keep a mob or them out of his yard, to hang an iron pot, that he had bad ,vit;tuals cooked in, over his gateway, and not one would enter tree yard until the obnoxious pot was removed. The nat at affection of the New Zealenders !0 their offspring appears great, but does not extend further then to very near relations. Their usual mode of salutation i 5 by rubbing the nose together and crying, from the constane practice of which crying becomes as natural to them as laughing to Europeans, and it is therefore difficult to ascer tain whether their tears proceed from a heart really over powered with sorrow, or the effects of -mere practice, and done to keep up appearances—certain it is, that he or she who can show the greatest quantity of tears joined to the mucus of the nose running down their faces, arc accounted to be the most affectionate of them ; and in all their crying matches a sort of song is uttered, which, if for a dead per son, is reproaching the party with having left them without just cause, very similar to the wake of the Irish. Ingratitude, except in some very conspicuous acts of kindness performed by an European, is proverbial to a New Zealander—the best proof of which is, that there is not a word in their language to express thankfulness. Among themselves, when one person makes a present to another, or performs some meritorious action towards them, they return the compliment by another present of similar or greater value, merely, as they say, from their being ashamed that the other party should reproach them with having conferred a benefit on them without receiving any kind of payment in return. They are also faithless servants—for although you may employ ten or a dozen constantly about .your place, whom you feed, clothe, and pay, as they consider liberal, they will take equally as much pride in robbing you of petty things, and destroying your property, as those who live around you, and will see you cheated by. their country men with much glee to think that, with all your caution and knowledge of human nature, they can beat you.— Syducy Herald. The Great Danish sculptor, Thorwaldscn, is en gaged on a colossal statue of Goethe, to be erected at Frankfort.

THE BAYONET NUISANCE.—More than .a week Lts elapsed since the decision of the Coroner's Jury in the case of the unfortunate man Chaplin, murdered by George Smith, a soldier, who -stabbed him with his bayonet. We have received several letters inquiring whether any thing has yet been done by the Horse Guards to prevent soldiers, when off duty, from carrying their side-arms, and we arc sorry not to be able to give our correspondents any infor mation on the subject. 'Fire matter, for aught we know, may be under Lord Hill's consideration ; but from the un derstood influence of the inferiors of his office, for the most part rabid Tories, we confess we are not very sanguine as to the result of his determination of this question. The persons to whom we allude have more than a usual portion of official repugnance to all changes—excepting changes for the better as regards their own appointments. If they were to be deprived of their pay till soldiers were deprived of their bayonets, we will venture to predict that we should not have had to wait a week for an order to that effect. As it is, we shall perhaps have to wait for another murder or.two.—Chronicle. O❑ the night of Sunday, the Bth instant, a man w,)s found near the Earl of Rodney public-house, New King-street, Deptford, bleeding from the nose and mouth, and in a state of insensibility, by Police-constable Rose, 154 of the It division. The assistance of another constable was obtained, and the man was conveyed to the station house. On the road he recovered a little, and stated his name to be William Allen, a carpenter, and that he resided at Peckham. As he appeared in liquor, he was detained for the night. On the following morning he was conveyed before Adam Gordon, Esq., one of the local magistrates, who, observing bin: to be seriously ill, ordered that he should be seen by Mr. Dowling, a surgeon of Deptford, who directed that he should be immediately taken to an hospital. He was then removed to one ; but after his ad mission he gradually got worse, and died yesterday morning at :ix o'clock. During the whole of that period he has been almost cobstantly insensible ; but it having been aseartained that the deceased was ill used on the ni g ht in question by a man named Evans, at the Errl of odney, he (Evans) was apprehended on Friday by Rose, and on Tuesday last was taken before Mr. Gordon, by whom be was committed to Maidstone-gaol, to await the result of the Coroner's Inquest. The Dumfries Courier, amongst other observations on rural affairs, has the following information :—The pastures still afford a comfortable bite, although scarcely a shower fell up to Monday for more than a ; . ortnight, and are thus keeping stores of provender intact that will enable the farmer to mete fodder more freely out in winter and spring. The waters are still limpid, without being shriv elled, which, we suppose, is mainly owing to copious dews ; and the woods more tenacious of their foliage than we per haps ever saw them at the same season. In sheltered situ ations they retain the greater portion of their leaves, and in place of a suit of Lincoln green, display a coat of many colours. The chief exceptions are fruit trees, and the ash, which yields easily to the influence of frost, and of all hedgerow or woodland ornaments, is the first to lose and the last to regain its leafy honours. Potatoe harvest is well nigh over, and will be completely finished during the present week, wherever proper exertion is used. The crop is splendid, and of superior quality---price Is. per cwt. carted, and a trifle less when bought in quantities for exportation. Many small farmers have bought an extra bullock or two, which they intend to feed chiefly on potatoes, in the expectation that beef will pay them better than the root itself disposed of at present prices. Turnips are still growing, and we could give instances on both sides of the Nith within little more than a mile of Dumfries, in which rape-kail, when let, has brought more money than recta baga. But the crops alluded to arc first-rate, or as a friend said, " as thick as they can stand, and . three feet and a half high." A considerable breadth of wheat has been sown, even after potatoes, and the extent is increasing every day. Where the soil is light and gravelly . most far mers prefer sowing when the ground is -wet ; but favoured as they are at present, they are tempted to proceed in the confident hope that rain will do its work after the seed is put in the ground. The wheats sown after beans (removed to some other spot to dry) and even after turnipitaised and stored for future use, are exhibiting rich and busby brairds; and though some may object to arresting the growth of the bulbs, no husbandman who knows his trade can expect, without making some sacrifice, to take two crops from the same land in little more than 12 months. There is now being erected on Wick-hill, in the parish of Bremhill, \\Tilts, which overkoks the long vale of Avon, a monumental pillar, at the joint expense of Lord Lansdowne and the Rev. W. L. Bowles, as the lord of the manor and vicar of the parish of Bremhill. On Saturday last, Lord Melbourne, Lord John Russell, and the Mar quis, from Bowood, called at the vicarage and proceeded to the spot. The monument, on this elevation, will be a most picturesque object ; it is already upwards of 30 feet high, and the design is beautiful.—Bristol Juurnal.
