nny foreign countries I know of are so rapidly advancing as airo and Alexandria. His Highness Mohamed Ali is now at Candia, to which place he went for the purpose of regulating certain improvements in agricultural pursuits. His son, Ibrahim Pasha, is at present in Syria : and I am sorry to say that the plague has appeared at Aleppo and Damascus, though not to any very great extent. The olive plantations about Cairo are rapidly thriving. It bboultl be remembered that this fruit is a necessary of life in this country, and was introduced by Ibrahim Pasha, ho is now the greatest cultivator of it in the world. An hg c ,t has been sent to America to purchase apparatus, or erns As ' for extracting oil from the olives. The who le o f t h e pr,:ate revenues of Ibrahim Pasha goes to improve ments in Egt-p. f. and Syria, and his ideas towards agricul ith these countries are vast and compre tural pursuits in hensive. Some year _hen"' if God spares his life , E gyp t will be fertilised to double :he eqent it is at presen t . tr ;,::-..a is none whatever `vl 7 :tly respect to pla pie in L. — :Yp t, beyond the limits of the Lazaio.:u AL . :" dria ' where there has not been a single case for tilt' last fifteen days. In truth, the benefits conferred on Egypt 1)• the establishu,:^t of sanitary laws are beyond those of all ot;:;rs under Mo hamed Ali's government. Similar establishments are now in progress in Syria. Omer Effendi. Ibrahim Pasha's seal-bearer, is gone to England, on his way to the West Indies, to collect on the ,pot rvcry Liformation relative to the cultivation of sugar and the distliation of rum. 'file sugar-cane is a thriving plant in this country, the growth of which is rapidly on the increase. A few months ago Mr. MacCullogli, the Pasha's botanist. was sent to the East Indies, and ordered to visit South America on his way back to Egypt. In fact, I should occupy too much of your space were I to enumerate all the branches of improvements practically in force by the joint energies of the two Pashas of Egypt and Syria. Colonel Campbell is now renovating the English Consu lar department of Cairo, which has long required it ; the b i t e Trice-Consul, not being a British subject, has very pro perly becn displaced. This appointment remains with Lord Palmerston to fill up. With respec!, to mails by this route to India the present month affords proof unparalleled. Letters were dispatched between Falmouth and Suez in twenty-one days, and in eighteen days more they most probably will arrive at Bom bay ; thus accomplishing the dispatch of mails between England and India in thirty-nine days. Colonel Campbell is now giving the the utmost assistance in this matter. - . The Opera closes this night. G:ist leaves town on Sunday, for Hastings ; Tamburini and Alii.Prtazzi for Bir mingham. HASTINGS.—Last Monday Mr. Planta, accompa nied by a parson and some young gentlemen, embarked incog. in a small sailing-boat for the continent, on a visit to the King of Hanover. So soon as the matter became known, various were the motives assigned, but that which obtained the most credence was that he was gone to ba lance the accounts relating to the expenses of the late election for this borough with the Orange Ogre, who, it is well known, found the " where-with-all" for his old chum. The report created great consternation amongst his recent supporters, who are generally now sorry for their votes, and freely admit that, had they been aware they were sup porting a mere nominee of King Ernest, nothing should have induced them to do so. Some folks fancy this visit portends as many evils as were anticipated by the credu lous from Halley's comet ; whilst others think that Mr. Planta is merely gone to be schooled in his part of the go between, and that no material damage will happen to the world yet. \Ye have the proud satisfaction of announcing this day to the supporters of this journal, and to the friends of education and charity generally, that her Most Gracious Majesty has, in the most kind and condescending manner, consented to becotoe the Patroness of that noble Institu tion, the Licensed Vjctuallers' School. Neither the kind and liberal expressions need by her Majesty upon the oc casion, nor those which Lord Melbourne employed in re questing her Majesty to honour the Institution by her patronage, do we consider ourselves at liberty to divulge ; suffice it to say that they were most honourable in every respect to our Gracious Sovereign, and most creditable to the Noble Lord to whom she has so justly entrusted the reins of government. In any case we should highly prize the honour of her Majesty's patronage ; but in the present instance we prize it the more highly, because we believe it is not only the first patronage of the same kind which her Majesty has bestowed, but because it is also an evi dunce that one main characteristic of her reign will be a strenuous endeavour to promote the diffusion of knowledge amongst her subjects. To the Queen, therefore, be health, happiness, prosperity, and a long and successful reign ; and to Lord Melbourne, who has evinced upon all occasions the same benevolent wishes expressed by her Majesty, there are no thanks to which the supporters of the noble Institution referred to can by possibility give expression, to which he is not justly entitled. His Lordship laid the first stone of '•he splendid building, which now adorns the borough of Lambeth, and in a state of health which in every respect might have justified him in withholding his presence ; but with that manliness which is the invariable characteristic of his cocduct, he nobly obeyed, at great personal risk, the comman,is of his Sovereign, and must now feel doubly proud that la:3 name, along with that of his Royal Mistress, will go down to posterity as the earliest and best friends of a school of education, which is not only an ornament to the metropolis, but which has not its com peer within the kingdom.—Morning Advertiser. MONEY-MARKET.—One of the effects of the pre sent abundance of money, which might easily have been anticipated, has been that of taking off nearly the whole of the United States Bank bills sent to this country. At first their reception was a doubtful one, and they fell after wards into discredit, but they are now sought for with avi dity, and are with difficulty to be obtained. This difficulty will probably vanish with the arrival of the next packet from New York, which is now hourly expected, but in the meantime the Market for them is as stated. For some of those which fall due in April, the price of 98 was given, which is little more than 41 per cent. Nothing could be more important to the interests of the United States Bank than such a Market as this for their securities, especially at a time when they are known to have formed the design of anticipating all the other American Banks in the resump tion of cash payments, and may thus secure, under the existing law, a large share of the Government deposits. Some persons here go so far as to attribute to the Bank of England a co-operation in this design for purposes of their own, but we do not consider the statement as entitled to the smallest credit. A participation in American financial operations of the same kind as this would be, that is, in a supply of specie, has been too recently fatal to render the report at all probable. Mr. Biddle, the President of the United States Bank, will acquire a high character for sa gacity', should he succeed in this project. Yesterday, according to anntialcustom, Camberwell Fair commenced on the Green. At an early hour a very numerous assemblage of both sexes were to be seen gazing, with wonder-looking eyes and extended mouths, at the various nmusementf . , which the itinerant showmen bad put forward for the purpose of raising the supplies. Thursday morning shortly after four o'clock, a ma niac, named William Miller, aged 41 years, hung himself in the yard of Lambeth workhouse. The wretched man has been in the poorhouse from his infancy, and, in consequence .of his being at times very outrageous, Mr. Droit, the master, employed him in the washing-rooms. The watchman saw him ; but on account of its being his usual custom to be up early to get the fires lighted, it was not thought necessary to watch haw. In a quarter of an hour afterwards he (the watchman) found him hanging from the handrail of a staircase. The rope was upwards of ten feet long, lie was instantly cut down, and Mr. Droit being informed of the circumstance, sent for Mr. Osborn, the assistant of Mr. Bryant, the parish surgeon, who was speedily in attendance, and rendered every assistance, but without effect. It was an extraordinary fact, that the unfortunate man was re marked to be in better spirits than over he was known be fore on the previous evening. Yesterday afternoon a large dog of the lurcher breed, and to all appearance in a rabid state, broke loose from the harness by which it was attached to a baker's truck, and ran foaming at the mouth, along Red Lion-street, biting in its progress two children, one of whom, a little boy, about ten years of age, was severely lacerated in the leg. The animal, which was pursued by a great crowd of persons, kept on through several streets, and was at length killed by a labouring man, named Dayes, in a doorway, where he had .taken refuge. Another dog, a terrier, also supposed to be mAd, was is the early part of the day destroyed by a brick layeT at Paddington. HYDROPHOBIA.—Thursday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, death terminated the sufferings of Charles Blanchard. a fine young man, a groom, residing in John street, Tottenfom-court-ro a d, w h o was un f ortuna t e ly bitten el by a .ig in a rabid state ahout nine weeks since. It ap peared that the unfortunate young man was living near Reading, in Berkshire, with a family. Ab ou t n i ne weeks since one of their dogs appeared to be ill. The animal being a valuable one, the groom went i n t o th e sta bl es f or t h e purpose of examining him immediately on approaching the dog he snapped at the groom, and made a small incr in the thick part of the thumb with his teeth. The wound was bound up, and shortly afterwards a p peare d to heal ; and not any particular notice was taken of the cir cumstance. During the night the dog effected his escape from out of the stables, and ran away, and bas not since been heard of. On Monday the poor fellow arrived in London for the purpose of seei ng his sister, and appeared 112 his usual health end spirits. On Tuesdn y morning, @lasing the time he was sitting at his breakfast, he was.sud &My attacked with convulsions, medical aid was procured, when it was immediately pronounced that the sufferer was i .leized with hydrophobia, which increased , be nduring dis .l4-essing sufferings, until death terminated them.

The publication of Tim SUN NEWSPAPER commenced ibis day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 19, 1837. Our readers will find, among the extracts from the Morning Journals, an article from the Times, which proves how sore the party whom it encumbers with its patronage, feels at the issue of the elections in Scot land. The writer of the article in question shows as little skill at his trade as he does acquaintance with the subject he professes to discuss. He begins by remind ing his readers, that he had " calculated on deriving from that country a positive gain to the Conservative cause of about fire or six seats." Now to say nothing of the insolence of this prediction, as regards the people of Scotland, what a fool the scribbler must be to rake it up out of the kindred rubbish in which it, lay en tombed. The man actually seems to think that the readers of the Times regard, beyond the passing hour, the incoherent rhapsodies with which that journal is every day stuffed ! The prophet of the Times is now obliged to confess that his " anticipations" " have not been fully realized." What a delicate and ingenuous mode of expression 7 . What he had to say, had he wished to speak the truth, was, that his prophecy had not only not been realized, but that it had been re versed. The Scotch elections exhibit at present a gain of two seats from the Tories, and there are four others, namely, Lanarkshire, Stirlingshire, Peebles, and Caithness, which may be reckoned upon as ulti mate conquests to the Liberal cause. Where an elec tion is won by a single vote, and there is proof of the fraudulent manufacture of votes—as there is in abun dance in the cases we have mentioned—there cannot be any rational doubt entertained of the decision of an Election Committee ; unless, indeed, it consist of such Members as Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR and his pupil the old Westminster renegade. But the way in which the writer in the Times sets about accounting for the falsification of his prediction must be a source of amusement to his Scotch readers at least, if he have any such. First, he was not aware " that Mr. BALFOUR'S purse was insufficient to con test Orkney." Aye, there it is—there we see the truth squeezed out of this Tory partizan in spite of himself—here we see it admitted that the " purse" is everything with the Tories. Without the purse they have no chance—whenever that fails them they give up all. for lost. Next, Mr. BALFOUR is abused for not having introduced a Tory candidate who had a purse, as he had none himself. We can assure this angry gentleman, that Mr. DUWDAS depending solely on the good will and good principles of the electors would have beaten any candidate out of the field, however long his purse might have been. Mr. ANDREW JOHNSTON next comes in for his share of abuse, because being a Reformer himself, he was more favourable to the Reforming than to the Tory candidate. The Roxburgshire election was lost—of course it was—because all the interest of the Admi ralty (!) was used against the nominee of the Duke of i3LICLEUGH. Nothing, however, is said of the mandates issued by the said Duke, enjoining his tenantry, on pain of his displeasure, and its conse quences, which are pretty well appreciated in that quarter, to vote for the Tory. Then again there was a riot, and the LORD-ADVOCATE would not allow the military to fire upon the people, although it is well known that the row was got up by the losing party when they saw the game was up, merely to furnish a pretext for clamour afterwards. Banffshire and Argyleshire were not 'won, because the Earl of FIFIL and the Duke of ARGYLE intimidated their tenants, when it is well known that these Noblemen left their tenants to vote as they pleased, and they voted for the Reform Can didates in these counties. On the whole, we think the way in which the Tories account for their losses is fully as unsatisfactcry to the public as these losses are to themselves. A remarkable instance of the folly of Ministers in allowing their enemies to retain the Lord Lieutenan cies of so many counties, was alluded to by Mr. SHELL the other day at the nomination of candidates for Tip perary. Speaking of the efforts made by Lord Do NOUGHMORE to return the rank Orangeman, BAR KER, for the county, in opposition to OTWAY CAVE, the Learned Gentleman observed, " a charge more serious than that of mere inconsistency attaches to the Noble Lord. He was appointed Lord Lieutenant of this county, when Earl GREY was at the head of the Government. The prezent Cabinet was in some sort formed by Earl GREY, for it waz he who recommended Viscount MELBOURNE to the KING. Earl GREY on almost every important occasion has voted with the Government. J His eldest son, the heir to his title and estates, is one of the most prominent Members of the Cabinet; and yet my Lord DONOUGHMORE, while he retains the office of Lord-Lieutenant, for which he is indebted to the Whigs, leaves no ex- , v-•• "'• •, 4 ‘l.

Lord DONOUGHMoRE has a right to his opinions ; but I think it matter for his serious consi deration, whether it is in accordance with those high feelings which I am willing, in the spirit of courtesy, to ascribe to him, to retain the favours conferred on him by the Whigs, while he uses his utmo6t efforts to promote the interests of the party who ars leagued to gether for their destruction." This is the conse quence of Ministers conferring favours on individuals,- of the steadiness of whose political principles they are not fully convinced. The evil is of long standing. Ever since their accession to office, Ministers have been remarkable for the forbearance which, in the hope of conciliating them, they have exercised towards the Tories ; and they now see the fallacy of their ex pectations. A Tory is not to be conciliated. This is au axiom as true as one of the problems of Euclid. You may bully them into a sort of sulky submission ; but you cannot conciliate them. They are like the hyena, incapable of being tamed. Had Government acted on this conviction long ago, they would not have seen so many Tory triumphs in the counties. We trust they will learn wisdom from experience, and henceforth hold no terms with the faction. An energetic Cabinet, quick to perceive the truth, and resolute to abide by it, is the only one who can now with safety rule the des tinies of England. The Messrs. RIDGWAY have just published a most masterly and complete refutation of the self-styled ar guments of Lord CARNARVON, the Quarterly Re view, Mr. GROVE PRICE, and the whole host of Tory talkers and scribblers, who rail against the Libe ral policy of the British Government with respect to Spain. It is entitled " Sequel of the Policy of Eng land towards Spain," and appears in the unpretending form of a supplement to one of the most popular and successful pamphlets that has yet been published on the Spanish question. In the hands of the author of this tract, Lord CARNARVON appears a mere infant in knowledge and force' of reasoning, while the Quarterly Reviewer looks the ♦ery personification of ignorant presumption. The author adheres to his first remedy for the evils that afflict Spain—namely, the occupation of the Peninsula by a combined British and French force sufficient to crush the rebellion at once. This remedy has been ours ever since the first bursting forth of the flames of civil war after the death of FERDINAND ; and recant events have but added to the strength of our first convictions. We agree with the author, that so long as the Spanish question re mains unsettled, our union with France is endan gered ; and that this is one of the reasons why the Great Northern Powers labour so assidu ously to keep the rebellion on foot. We also unfortunately see cause for apprehending, that the con test, as now carried on, may be indefinitely prolonged, owing to the character of the combatants, the poverty of the Queen of SPAIN'S Government, and the apathy of the Spanish people. We can likewise foresee a period when the reign of reason must cease ; when society will be reduced to its original elements ; and when every Province, instead of uniting with the others against the common enemy, will only seek to establish a Government for itself. This is a state of things that Europe would not, and could not, tolerate for a single day ; and the consequence would be, the permanent occupation of Spain, not by British and French troops only, but by the armies of Austria, Prussia, and Russia. Active intervention on the part of England offers the only efficient means of prevent ing the possibility of such a calamity. General ESPARTERO, at the head of his advanced guard, entered Madrid on the 12th inst. His recep tion by the National Guards was most enthusiastic. They had divided the City into wards—placed sentries on the gates—commenced repairing the walls---,made loopholes in the houses—prohibited the egress of any of the inhabitants—and in fact ordered all things for the defence of the city, as if an invading army one hundred thousand strong had sat down before it I The Ministers and the Cortes added, by the pusillanimity of their conduct and speeches, to the general alarm. The energy displayed was not the energy of conscious strength, but of despair. There were abundant pro testations of a willingness to be buried under the ruins of the city rather than suffer the Carlists to enter it; but there was no volunteering to drive 6,000 exhausted half-disciplined Carlists out of New Castile. In the debates of the Cortes on the 7th and Bth, though the Opposition were for voting the measures adopted by the Government insufficient, there was no line of policy chalked out as the one which ought to be followed in order to effect more speedily the salvation of the coun try. The Opposition manifested dissatisfaction, but they gave no intimation of having resolved upon the measures which it was incumbent on Ministers to adopt, instead of those to which they had given a preference. In truth it would be difficult to con ceive how a Government could display less courage, a Legislature fewer resources and less patriotism, and an organised volunteer force more symptoms of a skulking partiality for bush-fighting and the loop-hole system of bombarding an enemy, than were severally and collectively evinced by the Cabinet, Cortes, and National Militia of Madrid, on learning that the Car lists had entered Segovia. On the 11th there was a slight skirmish between the Christinos, commanded by IVIENDEz Vico, and the Carlists at Torre Ladories, a village within five leagues of the capital, which ended in putting a few of the advanced posts on either side hors de combat. The next day the Christino General occupied Las Noras. The Carlists were then strengthening themselves in Segovia, having possessed themselves of La Granjx, the beautiful summer residence of the Sovereigns of Spain. We have no account of any reinforcement having reached the rebel division, and unless strongly rein forced, ZARIATEGUI cannot make head against the overwhelming force brought against him by ESPA R. TERO. But should he only keep the Commander-in- Chief in employment for a few days, he will have more than realized the most sanguine hopes of the Carlist Chiefs, who only contemplated the possibility of faci litating the escape of the Pretender from Cantavieja, where he was completely surrounded by the division of OR A A on one side, and by that of ESPARTERO on the other. What was then deemed all but impossible has been effected. The Pretender may now, despite of the activity of ORAA, choose his own route. He may either cross the Ebro, and re-enter Solona, or march into the Basques, or he may fall back upcm Valencia, and esconce himself among the mountains for six months longer. Now, had the Government only possessed the smallest modicum of courage, and been capable of the right employment of a tenth of its resources, it would have hunted the rebels out of New Castile without having recourse to ESPARTERO for the aid of a single soldier. Thus, instead of making a diversion to favour the escape of Don CARLOS, the rebel chief by penetrating to the vicinity of the capital, would have only added 4) the hopelessness of the Pretender's position, by the abstractio . 6 from his ranks of large bodies of chosen troops. But the Ministers and tilP Corte; were seized w ith a pan i c t h e i nstant t h at i t WAS known that 4 lyin4fo of Carlists had entered Segovia, and their first act was to implore thg inspint protection of the Constitutional army, It is - 4 m u gl 4 pphply that the QUZEN herself, in her Uoyal perspo l has di4 ) •-.14 played more moral and physical courage since the com mencement of the civil war, than all her MAJESTY'S Generals and Cabinet Ministers put together—and yet Queen CHRISTINA will never figure as a heroine in Spanish annals. We have no other news from Spain of any import ance. General ORA Ais reported to be in pursuit of Don CARLOS, who was on the 10th inst. at Chiva. It was rumoured in Paris that the Carlist Chief Fortc DELL had surprised and taken Grao, within five leagues of the city of Valencia, which he almost as quickly evacuated on the approach of the QUEEN'S troops. The English frigate Barham fired upon the insurgents. The following extracts detail the measurer: adopted to the Bth inst. for the protection of the Spa- nisi► capital : An order of the day, of the 7th August, has divided the city of Madrid into nine great military divisions, for the better furtherance of the means of defence. The first, under the orders of Field-Marshal Ferraz and Brigadier Manuel Rosales, extending from the gate of Alcala to that of Santa Barbara ; the second, extending from that gate to that of Fuencarrel, commanded by Don Jose Manso and Brigadier the Marquis of Villacampo ; the third, from the gate of Fuencarrel to that of San Bernardino, under the orders of Don Carlos Heron and Brigadier Piguero ; the fourth, from the gate of San Bernardino to that of St. Vin cent, under the orders of Don Jose Bellido and Brigadier Tolsa ; the fifth, from that of St. Vincent to that of Se govia, under the orders of Don Jose Santos de la Heron, and Brigadier Don Bruno Gomez ; the sixth, from that of Segovia to that of Toledo, under the orders of Field- Marshal Martinez de St. Martin and Brigadier Delgano ; the seventh, from the Toledo gate to that of the Ambassadors', under the orders of Field-Marshal Don Corlos Espinosa and Brigadier Duranga ; the eighth, from the Ambassa dor's gate to that of Atocha, under the orders of Field- Marshal Carratala and Brigadier Herrara ; and the ninth, from the Convent of Atocha to the gate of Alcala, under the orders of Field-Marshal Don Jose Richard, and Brigadier Don Luis del Corral." " A letter from Madrid gives a rumour that, to the nu merous pieces of artillery placed round the Palace, 24 pieces of cannon were to be added. It was also said that the Royal stables were to be occupied by two regiments of the line and 300 artillerymen ; meanwhile all the approaches on the eastern side Were interdicted. The Queen-Regent and all the individuals attached to her household confined themselves closely to the Palace, and the Ministers were attended by an escort from post to post." The whole of the Paris papers of Thursday have been received. They contain no domestic news of any moment, and their accounts of the progress of events in the Peninsula will be found embodied in our article on the affairs of Spain. The following intel ligence from Circassia is the latest received from that quarter, and will consequently be read with interest : WAR IN CIRCASSIA.—A letter from Constantinople, of the 19th of July, published by the German Courier, gives some precise information relative to the respective situa tions of the Russians and Circassians. " 1 hasten to communicate to you some details on the present war in Circassia, which I have received from good authority. The corps of Russian troops which has passed the Kuban was about 8,000 strong, and was to effect its junction with another corps of 10,000 men, under the com mand of General Willijiminoff : this last arrived at Ghelen gik on board of thirteen men-of-war and a steam boat. These two corps, in fact, effected their junction on the 26th of May. Messrs. Bell and Longworth are still in Cir cassia. At a meeting of the chiefs of these tribes at A dhecum these two Englishmen are said to have entered into an en gagement, on the part of England, not to abandon the Cir cassians in this war for their independence. Of course they were not asked for their full powers to make this important declaration, for it is probable they would not have been able to produce a document of this description. However, it is certain that the British Embassy at Constantinople assists the Circassians with its council, wholly pacific as they may be ; for at the meeting of the Chiefs at Adhecum, an Envoy of Sefir Bey announced to the assembly that his master had received from the Charge d'Affaires of the English Govern ment at Constantinople, a letter, which enjoined him to advise the chiefs and elders of the people of the Caucasus to make proposals of peace to Russia, and to engage to cease henceforward from all incursions into its ter ritory, and that Russia must enter into the same engage ment with respect to Circassia. This proposal for peace was to be repeated three times ; the first time General Williaminoff answered them, " Recognise the sovereignty of the Emperor of Russia, for, be assured, that if the sky were to fall, the Russian bayonets would be able to prop it up." The second time they were answered by the same General, that he would consult with General Rosen at Teflis; however, he demanded in the first instance the im mediate submission of the Circassians, and threatened to invade their country with a more considerable force from Sudjukkale, where the army of General Rosen is stationed. General Williaminoff met with the Circassians in the defiles of Verdaree, on the road to Puijat, and endeavoured in vain to force a passage. The Russians cannot approach this place, except by Sea.

In and around Manchester there are many cotton weavers, who, slave as they may, are unable to earn more than ss. per week. Hundreds, if not thousands thus si tuated are considered fair workmen ; and there is a second class of unfortunates who, from inferior expertness, find their utmost efforts rewarded with a pittance of sd. or 50. per day. For a piece of plain calico the price is 6d. the 28 yards, and most truly may it be said of the improvements consequent upon steam-power, that they have inflicted the greatest misery on the hand-loom weavers. That every new invention tends towards national aggrandisement, and enables us to bear up against a load of taxation that would sink any other nation to the bottom of the sea, is no doubt perfectly true in the abstract ; but it is sad to think that so many should pay the penalty in the meantime, whose posi tion in society has been entirely altered from no fault or misconduct of their own—men who, whether single or mar ried, find despair stealing upon them so rapidly, from the growing wonders of engineering, that they are actually left without a ray of hope, unless it be in the workhouse or the grave.—Correspondent if the Dumfries Courier.

TILE Moons.—Notwithstanding the severe winter weather, and a spring disagreeably and painfully protracted, the news from the moors are upon the whole favourable. We have made diligent inquiry, and can report at least a few facts. On the estate of Dalswinton, which is not con sidered the best shooting ground in Scotland, Mr. Len)? and two friends bagged on the 12th, collectively, 22 brace of grouse, with not a blackcock or grey-hen in the num ber. Mr. Maxwell, of Terregles, shot for his own hand 7} brace on the same day, and our friend, Mr. Benson, precisely the same number of birds, on g round not to b e compared to Hi g hl an d " w ild s .

A considerable number of boxes of game have already passed through this town, although the sportsmen around Newton-Stewart, the best game country in the south of Scotland, are for the most part rusting on their oars till the Ist of September. An English gentleman we con versed with on Monday night describes grouse as being very plentiful in the neighbourhood of Shapfell, and speaks confidently of the havoc Lord Lowther is likely to make during the very few. days he claims as hi s c i wo.

THE VILLAGE CHURCH. Ackerman, London, 1837. We have just seen an engraving, executed by Egan, from an original design (by Mrs. Seyffarth), entitled the " Village Church," which forms an exceedingly interesting picture, first, from the generally attractive and unassuming nature of its subject ; and secondly, from the admirable manner in which its various groupes are disposed. A party of villagers, chiefly members of one family, consisting of a grandmother, a mother, and her daughters, are represented as just in the act of en tering the porch of the village church. Their counte nances are ponrtrayed with great skill, expressing just that reverential feeling, now so rarely to be met with, except among our more secluded and unsophisticated peasantry. The back-ground is appropriately made up of a soft, sylvan landscape. The engraving, from the depths of ifs various lights and shades, would suit a frame admirably. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-( THIS DAY.)

EXECUTION AT YORK.—On Saturday, at noon, the last sentence of the law was executed on Thomas Wil liams, convicted at the Yorkshire Assizes of the wilful murder of Thomas Froggatt, of Sheffield. The testimony of guilt was clear and convincing, the unhappy culprit having been brought to an ignominious and untimely end from a malicious principle of revenge which he had har boured in his breast. The prisoner and the deceased were both basket-makers, and on the 17th of March the former came into Mr. Moore's shop, and without any words passing between them he took up a bill-hook, and struck him twice over the head in the most ferocious manner, of which wounds he died on the sth of April. A few hours previous to this the prisoner told a man named Buggins that "he would smash Froggatt's brains out," and he would give him his shears. He returned, saving " He had killed old Frogg," and that "he did not care a if they hanged him, if only Froggatt was dead, as it would be a benefit to the trade." The only de fence offered was that the prisoner was of insane mind, but no evidence whatever was called to substantiate this de fence. He had a wife and five children, but we have not heard that they visited him since his trial. At an early hour in the morning he was removed from the condemned cell to the press-room, where he engaged in prayer with the ordinary. He ap peared fully impressed with the conviction that he was about to enter the presence of his eternal Judge ; and said his deepest grief was, that his wife, who was innocent, would be the greatest sufferer. When he had again fervently engaged in prayer, he turned his face to the crowd, and in a distinct voice, and with a collected manner, said Fel -1 low-men, you aro come to witness a spectacle of intempe rance—an awful scene ; I hope this will make a lasting impression upon every soul before me. A man in the prime of life, thirty years of age, cut off through this diabolical crime of intemperance. Is there a drunkard before me ? Yea, I see many. Let him go home, and be so no more. Is there a liar? Let him speak truth for the future, and turn to God with full purpose of heart, 1 have to inform you that I am leaving a grateful partner behind me ; one that is walking in the commandments of the Lord, and one that delights in her God, therefore I hope I shall meet her in heaven. I have also not a doubt of my acceptance with that God whom lam going to stand before." The fatal bolt was drawn. He struggled very little, and after hanging the usual time, his body was buried within the precincts of the prison. —York Herald. The present seems to be a good season for mu:ih rooms, and other fungi. One of the species popularly termed fuzz-balls, was gathered on Wednesday morning, in Mr. Chapman's close, near the Trent-bridle, weighing rather more than alb. , and measuring near twenty inches in mean girth. We advise our Entomological friends to b e on t h e look-out, as that rare insect, the T filoma bipustulata, fre quents these and similar fungi. A mushroom of the same weight, has been gathered during the week, at Arnold, of which two men and boys made a comfortable dinner. The yew was formerly much valued in Britain, on account of the use made of its wood for lows, this weapon being that principally used by th o anc i ent Britons i:1all their wars.

RAPE.—John Cronin was indicted for rape on the per son of Margaret Leary, a young woman about 22 years of age, on the 13th of the present month, Sunday last. Mr. CLARKSON stated the case for the prosecution tO the Jury. Margaret Leary stated that she was a single woman , and had lived in the service of a police superintendent St Camberwell. On the 13th of the present month she was at Staples'-rents, Rotherhithe, where she bad dined with her brother and sister. Knew the prisoner at the bar and his sister. She was going to chapel on the evening ill question, when she met the sister of the prisoner, who in' vited her to go home to tea with her, at Cranbourne-plane' Bermondsey. When she got there she saw the prisoner and three children there. His sister stayed there but short time, saying she had to go somewhere, and would re. turn immediately. Directly she left, the prisoner locY.ed the door ; before he did so, he asked if she would w,arrl him. There was no one in the house but herself r. n d the prisoner. Witness begged the prisoner to let her ', f p, but be refused to do so, and violently threw her bar!, on a chair' She struggled and screamed for assistance. Witness agn',l entreated the p r i soner t o l et h er go, but he sa id h e won't' not, and that h e wou ld e i t h er have leer or kill her. Ile then threw the prosecutrix on the floor.—[The witness here detailed the conduct of the prisoner to her, which amounted to the compl e ti on o f t h e cap i tal offence. The conduct ei, the prisoner, according to the statement of the witne , s , was of a more disgusting description than perhaps vv,a s , ever detailed in a C ourt o f J ustice.] Her screams broug ht several persons to her assistance.
