There, Sir, in dhe length of column, you will find the names of the Stewards of the projected dinner for the Friends of CIVIL Liberty," to celebrate three Revolutions, all brought about by the Military! Surely, Sir, that speaks pretty plain as to the wishes of our own Reformers ! They would, no doubt, be happy to avail themselves of the bayo nets of the military to get into power ; but, for tunately, the military know too well that the instant that object should be attained, they would be sent to the right about, or merely re tained to tyrannise over their fellow citizens. The system of Revolution on the Continent is an easy one ; for the instant the soldiery have played their part as cat's-paws at home, nothing more is necessary than to march them into a neighbouring country to help themselves; but that is impossible in an island like Britain : for, if shipped off upon that principle, it would be but a voyage to certain slaughter. That is well known and appreciated by the British Army; and it it were even possible that th9ir spirit of loyalty were extinct, which I never will believe, they know that the only chance a soldier has for pay and maintenance is under a firm and regular Government.—Your's, I. G. N. POLITICAL WASH-TUBS. Ma. EDITOR-Pray have the goodness to in- ; form the Marquess and Marchioness of SANGRA DO, that " as they are Italians," their. evidence will be of no avail ! It has already been decided by HER MAJESTY'S advocates that Italian Wit nesses are unworthy of belief, " because they are Italians, and can be bought for a Napoleon or for a dollar." This, they ought to be informed, has been the opinion of every Public Meeting from the Males and Married Ladies of Mary bone—the Unmarried Ladies there take a less decided opinion in politics. Eastward to the Single Gentlemen and their Wives at Wapping. Nay, has ,not Mr. HonnousE, and he has travelled for his learning, declaim ed as much in the House of Commons, as well as at the little WITTENAGEMOTES which he has attended in various parts of this wonderful metropolis ? Pray is not the Marchioness the ci-dirant COUNTESS OF OLDI ? If so, as lam a patriotic Tallow-chandler in Westminster, per haps you can ask her the price of soap! Pray, Sir, give her a bit of advice, or perhaps HER MAJESTY may not be able to lift her out of the sins so easily as she did at Bergamo! Your's, A POLITICAL RUSHLIGHT. WILLIAM HARWOOD FOLLIOTT, E3Q.-The attack on this Gentleman was of so gross and infamous a nature, that it has excited a laudable spirit of indignation in the City of Chester. On this occasion private malice has defeated itself, as it was impossible for it to have selected an object less likely to suffer in reputation by so venomous an outrage of truth and probability. Mr. FoL LIOTT has for many years been conspicuous in acts of charity, and in promoting benevolent and useful Institutions of all kinds, particularly the Infirmary at Chester, of which he has often been the Chairman, the Blue Coat Hospital of that place, and several other meritorious Establish ments. The merits of this Gentleman are well known at Chester; but, after such outrageous defamation, his character ought to be vindicated to the public at large. THE OPERA DANctas.—The sudden and un expected close of the King's Theatre left these performers in a state of embarrassment, difficul ty, and distress. The Manager of Covent-Gar den Theatre, therefore, with a commendable sense of humanity, as well as from a desire to gratify the public in general with an amusement thathad been chiefly confined to the higher ranks, offered them an asylum in his Theatre ; but lest this subject should be mistaken, it is proper the pub lic should be informed that the engagement is by no means of a permanent nature, but merely tem porary, and made with the laudable motive of remunerating these strangers in some measure for the losses they have sustained by the premature close of the Opera House ; and it was hoped, that by affording an additional entertainment to the regular drama, at a cheaper rate than it could possibly be procured elsewhere, the expence the Management had undertaken would be met by the reward of public approbation. Such liberal objects surely entitle the Manager to the praise of humanity and the protection of the Public. BARON SMYTH'S RIDDLE.- - Some men of the greatest talents have taken delight in composing or endeavouring to unravel riddles. lleau SWIFT is a case in point. Sir WILLIAM SMYTII, the learned Irish Baron of the Exchequer, at one time spent two days and nights in considering the answer to this conundrum :—Why is an egg underdone, like an egg overdone ? He would not suffer any one to give him the answer, which he at last discovered. It is a tolerable pun enough— Because they are both hardly done. Mr. EvAss, of the Chapel Royal, and Associates, commence 'their Autumnal Musical Tour at Petersfield, on the 11th of next month. They afterwards proceed to the Isle of Wight, ' and other principal towns in Hampshire, and then go to the West of England. A bottle thrown into the sea off the coast of Iceland 27th July, was found near the Cum brae Isles 4th September last. It had thus tra velled eight hundred miles in forty days ; and if its course was not influenced by the winds, this would indicate a current flowing south-eastward, at the rate of 20 miles a-day. This current is no doubt a branch of the great gulf stream, which Humboldt thinks describes a perpetual circle --passing down the western coast of Europe and Africa—then across the Atlantic to Ame rica—northward along the coast of that continent to Newfoundland —thence eastward to Iceland, and then over the same course again.

Some noblemen and gentlemen resident here, went on board the yacht to pay their dutiful respects to his Majesty, but it speedily came on to blow a gale of wind with rain, which checked all further' , communication between the squadron and the. shore, and caused the illumination to be deferred till to-morrow, which, according to appearance from the preparations making, promises to be very I splendid, his Majesty's presence having diffused a general joy throughout the town. This morn ing his Majesty appeared on deck *tween 10 and 11 in excellent health, and received in his usual gracious manner the presentation of respects I of a number Of Noblemen and Gentlemen who went on board to demonstrate their loyalty ; the weather was fine, and numerous boats with la dies on board rowed round the yacht dUring the morning to gain a sight of his Majesty. The yacht remained at her moorings during the day, and it is said that his Majesty has invited some of the Noblemen and Gentlemen to dine with him on board. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

PEDESTRIAN WAGER.--Mr. PORTER, of Great Portland street, undertook, for a wager of twenty guineas, to go to the thirteen mile stone on the Bath road, from Piccadilly, and back to Hyde Park corner, a distance of twenty-six miles, i n four hours. He started yesterday morning at five o'clock from Hyde•patk corner, accompanied by five gentlemen on horseback, and arrived at Hounslow at thirty-two minutes past six. He returned back again to Hounslow after touching the mile stone, at thirty-six minutes past seven, having one hour and fifty-two minutes left to perform the other ten miles, which was twenty minutes more time ti►an what he did it in on going out. Bets were then in his favour, and he appeared in high spirits. He was exactly an hour going the next five miles, and was theta so completely fatigued that he gave up the wager, having five miles more to perform in fifty two minutes, although half an hour before giving in he offered to double the bet. One of the gentlemen who ac companied hint on horseback has undertaken to go the same i distance in the given time for forty guineas on Friday next. The new Farce forthcoming at the Haymarket Theatre is attributed to the Author of Exchange no Robbery, and therefore the Public are likely to be gratified by " Hook or by Crook." 13,9 a ARKIVALS.—EarI of Kingston, Lord Colville, Lord Erskine, Lady Elizabeth Campbell, and family, Honourabia Mrs. Vernon—General Dunkin, Colonel Horner, Colonel Wickham, Lieutenant-Colonel and Mrs. M'Kensie, Captain Arnbrosse, C a ptain Bygrore, Captain Faultll, Captain Monk lank, Captain Mebber. and Captain Wheeler. In the City of London there has,,for a number 'of years, existed a Society, called " The Sons off' Commerce," formed for the purpose of relieving su ch of their Members a s might meet with any misfortune, oe become reduced in the, world. A for the purpose Meeting was called on Tuesday, of addressing the QUEEN ; but much to the credit of the Members, the object was frustrated by the almost unanimous adoption of a Resolution di rectly opposite to that proposed. EGYPTIAN MUMMY. The Ilunterian Xuseum . at Glasgow has just been enriched by the acquisition of an Egyptian MUEDIIIy, the donation of Mr. J Oill U A HEY WOOD, jun., of that city, which, ,from its high state of preservation, may be considered as the most in teresting addition, .in, the Antiquarian Depart ment, made to that very valuable collecti...l since it became. the. property of the University. • • The body, shrouded in from fifty to sixty folds of rather coarse pale brick-red coloured 'linen, is deposited in a strong wooden coffin, fashioned-so ;as to bear a rude resemblance to the human shape. At the. upper extremity is carved a face, the fea ture's of which (as is the case with all Egyptian sculpture) are very much of the Negro cast. The coffin, along the entire -length of its outside, is richly ornamented with a profusion of hierogly phyCal characters, of various colours, all in a state of the most perfect preservation. The case immediately containing the body is again inclosed in a second, similarly shaped, but more sparingly ornamented, and exhibiting a greater appearance of antiquity. This highly interesting relic was examined in presence of several professors. Upon opening the inner coffin, the freshness of the l; Zen form ing the investment, excited a desire of carrying the investigation the length of ascertaining the actual existence of an embalmed human body. A longitudinal incision was made through the coverings immediately over the face, which were evidently continuous folds of the same web. Those in Immediate contact with the skin were soaked in liquid asphaltum, a substance of highly antiseptic power, and said to have been employed by the Egyptians in embalming. The head was completely denuded of these coverings, showing a face, apparently female, in an astonishing state of preservation. Though the features were much collapsed, the face was no where divested of skin. The skin itself was of a chesnut-brown colour. The brow was well shaped, though, if any way de fective, narrow ; and to some it may be in teresting to learn, the organ of Music was pro minent *. The nose, though slightly compress ed, retained enough of its original shape to be recognized as Roman. The cheek-bones were prominent. The mouth, most likely from the shrinking of the muscles attached to it, was wider than accorded with the general good proportion of the face. The space between the noise and the chin, especially between the nose and mouth, was also proportionally too distant. Independent, however, of these excep tions, the face was decidedly handsome. There appeared upon the chin not the slightest vestige of hair, but that upon the eyebrows was distinct, and finely arched. Upon the scalp there was a. profusion of silky golden hair, about two and a half inches in length. A small portion of the scalp accidentally removed, showed the skull with all the freshness of recent bone. Having separated the lips about the eighth part of an inch, the fore teeth could be seen, remarkably white, and regularly shaped. One circumstance must have struck all who had an opportunity of seeing the above inte resting examination ; namely, the dissimila rity of the features to what we are taught to believe were those of the inhabitants of Egypt, at the remote period at which the custom of embalming existed in that country.—A moment's recollection will suffice to convince us that this circumstance can in no way throw discredit on the antiquity or genuine character of the Mummy. It is sufficiently well known that at all times the conqueror has adopted in a greater or more partial degree, the customs of the con quered. We should therefore naturally expect that the Grecian settlers whom Alexander left in different parts of Egypt, after its conquest would imitate the habits of the Egyptians in this and other respects ; or we have, perhaps, a more direct solution of the difficulty, (if so it can be considered,) by supposing, what would in many instances take place, the inter marriage of an Egyptian with the daughter of a Greek. Mr. Millar, portrait painter in Glasgow, is at present finishing a likeness in oil of the face and surrounding parts, as they appeared immediate ly after they were exposed a and was completely successful in the accuracy of the likeness before the exposure to the air had converted the face from a brown to a sable hue, which it did in the short period of three hours. It is evident, from this remark, that the 'Writer is a Con vert to the visionary and absurd system of SPURZHEIM. )30N MOT.—At the Paddington Meeting to address the QUEEN, a Lady was congratulating a Gentleman upon the fineness of the day ; the Gentleman (a Lawyer) replied, " Yes Madam, very fortunate ; for if it had pleased Heaven to send down a shower of gin in the next field, not a soul would be left here to address the poor Queen." - - A CASE OF TOENIA SOLIUM.—John Young, residing at Kirk' Yetholm, Roxburghshire, late of the 4th battalion of Royal Artillery, aged 36, took ill in Spain, June 12, 1812, and he was dismissed the service by the Medical Board in 1814, for epilepsy ! since which period he has continued in a very emaciated and imperfect state of health. On Sunday morning the 27th ult. in consequence, of some medicine taken for the purpose, under the direction of Mr. Cook, surgeon, he passed a tapeworm entire, 50 feet two inches in length, which was washed and measured in the presence of a number of people. It is preserved. The infant which was lately born, at Bolton le-Moors, with two heads and necks, and three vertebrae, or back bones ; in every other respect it was well shaped. On opening the body it was found to contltin two stomachs, and two gall Mad ders, but only one heart. The surgeon who perform ed this operation offered the varents two hundred pounds for this extraordinary production of na ture, which they refused.
