Here goods after goods were exposed to her view, Prints, laces, and silks—at her call ; She tool , . patterns of yellow, pink, white, red, and blue, Then the strings of her huge indispensable drew, With the prices of each—tnark'd on all. " Have you now any gloves ?" (mark the question she made ;) "'Those for gentlemen quickly were shewn— " For Ladics," she cried—and long whites were display'd ; " 0, the short ones"—short English before her were laid ; " Lord ! French, Sir"—and sharp was her tone. French kid, still unmov'd, Dicky drew from a case, Where they lay pack'd superbly together; [lot he soon had to wish them well back in their place; When for " silk" she cried out, with surprise in her face; " Lord bless me, you see these are leather !" Dick now stood aghast—twenty other the white Roar'd for goods, like a menacing host ; The counter was heap'd to a terrible pile; His countenance lost its soft, simpering smile, And his patience quite gave up the ghost.

Yesterday the PRINCE REGENT, the Duke and Duchess of YORK, Prince LEOPOLD, the Princess AUGUSTA, &c. dined with Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Ambassador, at Chandos-house. On Saturday Prince LEOPOLD gave a grand en tertainment at Marlborough-house to the Persian Ambassador:. Every thing was served up with the same magnificent splendour and in the same suite of rooms as when the REGENT honoured the Prince with his company to dinner. On Friday night the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, attended by Lady ISABELLA THYNNE and Mr. CURRY, arrived, at Gloucester-house, Park-lane, from Holkhatu, Norfolk, the seat• of Mr. Come. On Saturday morning their Royal Highnesses - waited upon the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton-house, upon their arrival in town from their tour. In the evening the Duke and Duchess bad a select party to dinner. Yesterday morning their Royal Higi,ness'es attended divine service at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. —A whimsical Farce was brought forward on Saturday, entitled " One, Two, Three, Fonr, Five, by Advertisement."— The chief purpose is to introduce Mr. REEVE, whose mimetic powers were displayed in Sylvester Daggerwood last season at. Drury-lane Theatre. — He was very successful in his imitations of several Performers at this Theatre, and the farce altoge ther was so entertaining that it was received with great applause. HARLEY; who bad been one of the imitated Performers, announccd its repetition with unanimous consent. MISS MAcAuLay.—This Lady read the Tragedy of The Italians on Saturday last, in the Great Rdom at Freemason's-hall. She was attended by a numerous and genteel audience, so nume rous indeed, that many persons could not procure seats. The admirable manner in which she rather acted than recited this ill-treated Trag edy, ex cited the warmest applause throughout. It this excellent Actress is not engaged At one of our win ter Theatres next season, it may well be regret ted that the Managers have not better taste and judgment. An awful instance of sudden death occurred at the British Museum, in Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury : about four o'clock on Saturday morning, when the two sentries who were sta tioned at the great gate were relieved, and re turning to the guard-room, one of them fell at the door, and was carried in, bnt expired before me dical aid arrived, which was in a few minutes. Unlike every former Lottery, the Scheme of the present has been so arranged by O. CARROLL, the Contractor, as to give to any number the opportu nity of gaining Three Prizes! whilst at the same time any number which may have been drawn a Blank, may become entitled to one of the large Capitals. The Lottery will be all drawn on the 22d of This Mouth, and Schemes, with full par ticulars, may be had at CARROLL'S fortunate Offices, No. 19, Cornhill, and 26, Oxford-street.

(From " The Mayo Constitution.") • ` 1 Dr. - KELLY, the Roman Catholic AHtbishop of Titan), held a Confirmation in.the Chapel of this town (Castlthar), on Monday and Tuesday last. Upon this occasion a very moral and well conducted young man, who works in the office of thiS paper, presented himself for confirmation to the Bishop, who either felt or said he felt it his dirty to refuse the young man this rite of his Church, or to hear his confession, because he pursues his lawful employment, with liberty to at tend prayers on days which the Bishop is .pleased to distinguish by the name of holy. We think it due to Roman Catholic parents to mention this circumstance, that they may not unwittingly put their children into a situation of life which, it seems, they cannot follow, and at the same time preserve the religion in which they were educated. Had we been heretofore aware of the fact, we should, however it may have operated against us, have considered it a matter of conscience to" pub lish this caution, which must also affect brewers,' bakers, distillers, and a 'great 'variety of other trades. Brit, 'let us see what effect this rule of the worthy Bishop may have upon the interest of the press, and even upon that great question, to the favourable reception of which' he not improbably looks for a' seat in the House of Lords ! If Ro man Catholic printers are not to. work upon any of the forty or fifty holy, days of the year, it is evi dent, if they be employed in newspaper offices, that the daily prints cannot he issuerl,,nor can a Roman Catholic, who cares any 'Ching about con firm,ition or confession, - be proprietor of a public Journal. What then must he the consequenci The press then falls into the hands of Protestants or sectaries—and it must he to the liberality or permission of these alone that the Catholic Ques tion will be 'indebted fur the powerful aid it now receives from public discussion, without which, Dr. Kelly may be assured, it will never make the successful impression he desires and perhaps cal culates upon. On St. Peter and St. Paul's day (Thursday last), the coadjutor Priests of the town . went to the Jail, where there were about 50 men at work, and commanded them to desist. The men, however, thought better not to coat ply with the orders of the Priests, and, potatoes being dear, work scarce, and their families look. ing to them for food, they remained at their busi ness." DISPATCH.—The Venus, PHILLIPS, which ar rived at this port yesterday se'nnigut, from Bar badoes, with a full cargo, performed the passage home in 25 days, and the voyage out and home i n three months, having sailed from this port on the Bth of April last.—(Bristol Journal, July 17.)

Owing to the Logo raov,,T, v/60 is Chairman at the Convention, being absto, in Lon don, it was proposed that Robert Smith, Esq. one of the Magistiates, and actiug for the Lout Pru vast, should ta)ce the Chair. This motion wal opposed by Mr. Burness, who moved that the I'm vost of Glasgow do take the Chair. After soft e discussion the question was pro, wlien the num bers were, for Mr. Smith, 27—For the Provost of Glasgow, 19, Mr. Smith then took the Chair. A petition from Atbroath was pre , ented yes terday, praying for a reform at that burgh, bur on a division it was refused, as ,he guest inn of Burgh Reform was at present under consideration of the 1 - louse of Commons. A petition was read from the Thirgh of Banff, craving pecuniary aid to enable it to complete the harbour of that town, when, atter a long conver sation, it was agreed to grant 4001. by instal ments of 1001. a-year. A petition from Elgin for 2001. to assist in im proving the harbour was read, but on the ques tion being put that it should be granted, it was negatived by a majority of 8. Mr. BUItNESS submitted a motion to the Con vention regarding the propriety of abolishing the religious clause in the burgess oath, which was unanimously agreed to. The report on the new plan regarding the con veyance of the mails from London to Edinburgh was ordered to be referred to the Annual Com mittee. COURT OF SESSION. FARM-SERVANTS' IVAGESr IMPORTANT DEOISION-MAGGLASHAN u. DUKE OF ATHOLL, Macglashan engaged himself as a farm-servant to a Mr. I\loon, tenant of the Duke of At boll, for one year, from Martinmas 1817 to Martinmas 1818. In August 1818, the tenant's crop and stocking wer e sequestrated tor rent One to the landlord. The ser vant applied to the Sheriff of Perth to order the Duke to pay his year's wages (101.) out of the proceeds. The Substitute preferred the servant, but the Depute held the landlord's bypothec to be the preferable right. The servant appealed to the Citc%it Court of Justiciary. Lord GILLICS (the presiding Judge) was of opinion, that the servant ought to be preferred ; but, as the practice oil this point seemed to vary in nifferent Coun ties, his Lordship cdtified the case to the First Division of the Court. It was there heard Cully, and the Court have decided unanimou3ly, that farm-servants are to be preferred as credi tors, for their current wages, to the landlord, whose right of hypothec must now yield, through the whole of Scotland, to this equitable and pre ferable claim. Lord HERMAND said, the crop was created by the labour of the servants, and that it was the in terest of landlords themselves that the wages of such labour should be made preferable. Lord BALMUTO concurred. Lord SUCCOTH -remarked, that the rent is pro. diced by the crop, and the crop by the labour of the servants. Lord BALGRAY and the LORD PRESIDENT, on more than one principle, were of opinion, that the decision of the Sheriff should be reversed, and the appeal sustained. The Court gave expenses to the servant. Counsel for Macglashan, H. Cockburn and John Henderson, jun. Esqrs. agents, J. and W. Murray.--Counsel for the Duke of Atholl, John Clerk and P. S. heir, Esqrs.; agents, H. Gra• ham, writer to the Signet. WILTSHIRE MELTING, The nomination of a lit:presentative for this County took place at Devizes on Friday, At 12 o'clock the Sheriff opened the business of the day, stating, that if) consequence of a requisition, he bad called this Meeting for the purpose of nomi nating a Candidate to till the vacant seat in Par- !lament for this County. Mr. PHIPPS proposed .JOHN IiENBTT, Esq. of Pyt house, as a fit and proper person to supply the present vacancy in Parliament for the County. Dik nomination was seconded and strongly sup ported by Mr. MARVEN EVERITT. Sir JOHN METHVEN POORE, Baronet, then, amidst a tu mult of applause and disapprobation, proposed JOHN DUGDAL ASTLEY, Esquire, observing, that " he is a descendant of one of the most ancient families in the county, and one of his ancestors sat in Parliament for sixty years for Shropshire. /le always did his duty well in the House, and have no doubt but his descendant will tread in his ancestor's steps " Mr. Jove seconded Mr. Astley's nomination. Mr. ASTLEY then addressed the Meeting, courting enquiry into his conduct, and thanking the people for their attention. This Gentleman was then supported by Mr. 'Lisa'. Mr. CALLBY censored Mr. Astley for starting in oppo sition to his friend Mr. BENETT. The HIGH SHERIFF was about to proclaim the irne of Election, when Mr.EYRE begged the attention of the meeting for only three minutes. He felt sincere respect for both the Candidates ; though he thought on the present occasion, Mr. Benett had the strongest claims for their support. lie "should not have obtruded himself on their notice, had he not seen the cause of Mr. Astley espoused, and apparently connected with a person who had addressed them just before Mr. Calley. This he much lamented, as he thought the public principles of Mr. Hunt to he most - mischievous, subversive of property and every thing most to he preserved and held in esteem. Mr. E. considered Mr. Astley bound to disclaim all connection with a person -of such principles, and ivlio had received, in that very place, within no distant period, the most marked proofs of public censure. Mr. ASTLEY explained, anti . stated that he was not at all connected with'Mr. Hunt, either inpo- itics or otherwise, which statement Mr. Hunt confirmed. Mr. JOYS moved the thanks of the meeting to John Long, Esq. the High Sheriff, for his impar tial conduct. The SHERIFF then proclaimed the strew of hands to be in favour of Mr. Astivy; and stated that the Election would talc% place at Wilton on Monday next. This Elec'tion is likely to he very severely con- tested, and it has this peculiar character attending it, that in the instance of Mr. BENETT and Mr. ASTLBY, two friends have started against each other.
