rani tto piecittcts ilvitor,,defti.4.v!.-- Like the fabled 11irpies of Idolatry, our Modern Patriots have power, to poison even celestial en terthintnents ; and we have seen the blessed Cause 9f Charity withered and blasted by their pestilen tial presence. Filthy and obscene creatures, loathsome and disgusting, they will ultimately provoke a similar vengeance, and be swept into the regions or darkness, suited to their foul *- poses and noxious habits. We have given a very full report of the pro ceedings in the Egyptian-Ilan. It is pleasing to dwell on pictures of this kind, where all the baser passions ate absorbed, and only the glow of phi lanthropy irradiates theseene. Politics, Polemics, at best but ungracious topics, were dismissed from this well-conducted and rightly-feeling Assembly, which seemed animated with One merciful and com passnmate heart. Nothing was proposed but what had the relief of our suffering fellow mortals for its object ; nothing was clone but what advanced the cause of humanity. Nearly eight thousand pounds, :43 we are informed, were contributed on the spot. Twice eight thousand pounds would soon he swallowed up in mere donations; but the spirit of all the plans suggested at the Meeting is of an infi nittlymdre beneficial as well as ` rational descript ion. It is not to aid pauperism alone, but to chelisb and reward industry, to furnish labour and repay it: this is the true mode of alleviating distress, and by it there ,'s a machine of, reproductiVeness put in motion which must multiply the original fund a hundred and a hundred ,fold, moderating misery at every outlet, and scattering comfort at every ton. • May the most unbounded success attend this s, beneficent %%01K, and may the example herein set, which we safely predict from our knowledge of the Moral virtue and humane feeling of the British Ptonle %vitt be generally followed, unite in closer 11011(15 of union and love the Rich who give boun tifully and the Poor who receive thankfully. The high pticeof Corn and Bread is so evidently the result of Forestalling, that we our voice against _the monopoly which a great command of Capital enables a junta of indivi dads to exercise with such severity upon all Orders,. and dreadful consequences to the l'oor. Had the harvest been much worse than it has been, it would be impossible to assign yufiicient growl for thepresent appalling price.of bread so immediately after its close. The most disingenuous arts are'resorted to in order to keep up the exorbitant rates which are row extortrd. Of these false .news forms a pro minent feature. Exaggerated accounts of scar city ; unfounded rumours of measures said to be adopted by . a , verninent in consequence of the alletzed buundless Atress; invented; sto ries of Ineetioys and riots at home, and•of the shutting of ports or high price of provisions in those places abroad to which we may look for supplies ; these, and a multitude of great and lit tle artifices, all tending to the same end, are un ceasingly employed; not a day passes without them, and a Newspaper, which did nothing but Correct these falsehoods, might fill its columns with exposing thern.—A Morning Paper of this date notices an hist flice as follows "It is difficult to be always on our guard against such manceuvres ; yet we are 'WMOIIIII3 enabled ' to detect anti expose them, and we hope with good effect. Yesterday - . information was handed to us, purporting that grain bad become extremely scarce in Holland; that _the prices were rising there ; and that the pure ases lately made there for this country would certainly enhance those prices still more Fortunately, we bad the means of checking this statement, by reference to the EICIIIAI prices current : and upon investiga tion we find that corn, fai from rising in price there, has been gradually falling from the 21st of October, when it was 595 florins per last, down to the last adviees . of the 19th instant, when it Was 540 florins." It also denies the revived fable that distillation from Grain was about to be prohibited. Our Readers will recollect that we officially' contra dicted this rumour when it was first Fropagated three weeks ago. Prptow bas, it seems, found out by the ex ample of CIIRISTOPHR, that the " Methodist Connexion" is a good political alliance. The .Phitip, Capt. ---, sailed from Bristol last week, Laving on board Messrs.

A Alortikug Paper says, on the authority of its Paris Correspondent, that itt consequence of some conversation held at Sir C. STuART's respecting the Police, M. TALLEYRAND received an inti mation from the .ht NG of FRANCE not to appeir at Court. Written requisitions were placarded in Plymouth last Thursday, for a mob meetiug on Friday on the Hoe; but. without effect. The failure of the incendiary is the hest proof of the good temper and good sense of the people in that qiimier. They know th.it scuition is no improver of bad times; and that eery practical effort has been made, and is •till making, to find empkylient and subsistence tor the poor of Plymouth, Dock, and toe neighbourhood.

The night was extremely dark, at►d the wind blew a hurri cane —On arriving at the Russet Bridge, about six miles from thence, it is supposed the untortu nate driver, who inside• the vehicle, with a passenger, missed his toad (some say he was asleep) ; the horses took the ford, when, painful to relate, the rapidity- of the current swept chaise and horses down the stream ! Next morning one of the horses having disengaged itself wai found grazing •on the river bank.. The other horse, chaise, postillion, and passenger, however, have not since been heard of ; and it is apprehended that - , being washed into the- Dee, the fresh may have carried the whole into the sea.—The Alps is a small •stream, receiving its water from the adja cent high lands ; but in wet weather it swell• prodigiously, rising 10 or 12 feet in the course at s few boors. A young man, named Pocock, apprentice to Mt.

The poor youth was precipitated down two pair of stairs into tl , c shop, his face and the upper pert of his body scorched to a cinder. He died un the following Thurbday. ORIGIN.tra I'OEIIIY. It is (says the Writer of the following, lines) an old criston. of British Beaux to give to their habiliments the names 91 Victories achieved by the valour of their Countrymen. A century ego, Stetnkirk Cravats and Ramillies Wigs wer'e as common as the Catuperdowns, Nelsons, and Waterloo , of cur days. Perhapi this custom is greaser in CoßutrY Towns than in the Metropolis in the latter a Bond-street Lounger may call one of his garments by the name of the Victory or time Commander ; his country Pr•ethren are Waterloos from top to toe. To one of the latter the following verses are addressed : THE WATERLOO BUCK. While Border WAT, on minstrel lyre, In strains that rival Hommt's arc, High celebrates 01' auspicious day, When, lured by WI:IAA:sun 's winning way, The fickle goddess bade adieu To " her spoiled child" at Waterloo: Be 't thine to play a humbler game To spiendour conquering A 11111 U fame; In thine own way, hi,, praise express By spotting every part of dress, From low-crowned hat, t high-heeled shoe, That bears the name of Waterloo. The tippy . bat that decks thy brow Tells us, " the Tyrant's fallen now!" ; - And oh ! if mad ambition's dream Still haunt his soul 'sleuth Tropic beam, May the broad 1311111 that shades his face Aye tell hies of Ilk foul disgrace;-- The Quaker-badge is surely due To him who quaked at Waterloo.

Or as the Minstrel rode along To view the 'rowers of Hougomont, `lbro' Soigni's wood, from Brussels' pale, Had he thee met, thou 'slat graced his tale, He'd " soothly swear" his liboderick Dim Had crossed his path at Waterloo.

This coach and horses never were actually delivered to Mr. Hill, and shortly afterwards he confessed a judgment to Mr. Sherman, the present plaintiff, anti then on a fa. being issued, ha pointed out the coach and horses as his property, and they were actually taken in execution for a debt, or pretended debt of his.
