that is the women and children (for the men would either not amender or would be put to death), is entirely worthrof the indent policy of despotism. Nobody hail carried it to a higher degree of perfection than Darius, of whom Derodotus relates half a dozen instances. lie removed the inhabitants of Cyre lean Dacca to the extreme east of his empire, viz. to Bactria 204); the lonians to Phoenicia, and the Phirnicians to lonia (VI. 1) ; the Carians to Myletos (VI. 20) ; the Erettians tosNurvi. 99). The ancient Persians, therefore, transplanted nations like trees, and always to countries the most remote to their own. Faithful to this principle of "biotic human.agri culture, the Turkish Emperor, Al urad 1., conqueror of Constan - naive and Greece, transplanted Asiatics to Europe, to Scopi, Zahara, &c. as may he read at length in Chalco wildnas 11. Mahomet 11., conqueror of Constantinople, was a *t ill greater master in this art. lie brought the noblest children of both sexes to Constantinople, which was peopled with Cara- In4n iatirs Blyrians, &c., from no less than twelve conquered r ides. But he was also no stranger to the grand idea of uniting Greek women with negroes, and vice versa, and this fact is so r emarkable that we cannot withhold from our readers the passage from Spandangino's valuable history of the Musselmen, which will throw some light on the policy of the Divan and the histo rical learning of its European counsellors. Ile made with the Cephalonians the following experiment to obtain a mixed race at Constantinople.

T hus, to have Mulatto slaves, the tyrant compelled Greek women to unite with Negroes, and Greeks with Negresses, and for that purpose imprisoned them in 31armora, and the other Islands lyin g i n s i ght of the Capital. Perhaps some European 4 getna, who visit in summer those beautiful islands, will k q u aint the public, through the medium of the Journals, with the results of this new experiment. But as there is little doubt of the intentions of the Divan, we only wish that the etkilition of the Viceroy of Egypt may by some means or other be baffled in its object.—(S'applanent to the Allgenwine 2411 "' 1 4", 0ct.1.)

CO YENT.G ARDEN.—The new Comedy of Pride shall have a Fall was so successful . last season, that the Managers may naturally be induced to recur to what was then so attractive. It was re presented for the second time this season last night. It must be adthitted that this Comedy is not written in the dog-trot style of most modern Dramas, but exhibits an original character, and is marked by much variety. The 'part of Torrent° is really original. His address to his fellow-pri 'toners is ludicrous, diverting,and a good ridicule of the style of the mob-orators of the day. till. parody oti Mercutio's celebrated speech is marked by in vention us well as by humour. But the play is too much known to require any comment at this time. The actors render justice to their cha racters. COOPRIL displays great feeling in Lo. renzo. YATcs gives such a colouring to Corm Inc as cannot but hold forth a warning to all military coxcombs. Miss PATON was admirably in voice last night in Victoria, and her acting also dis played affecting tenderness. The Ventosos were supported with ston y ; effect by FARREN and Mrs. DAVENPORT, and the Comedy altogether went off with all the spirit of novelty. Sir llAncoutur LEO, we have been informed, leaves London to-morrow for Ireland, on busi ness of vital importance to the Protestant Inte rest in that country.

BEDFORD LEvEL.---We have authority to state, that several questions relative to the right of voting at elections in the Bedford Level Corporation have been submitted to a bar rister of eminence, who is of opinion that no purehaserS, whose conveyances have been left at the Fen-office for registration, but are not entered in the registry-book, have a right to vote, and that the proprietors from whom such purchases wore made cannot vote; that a devisee under a will may vote without re gistration of the will; that mortgagees in possession, persons for whom estates are held in trust, guardians during the mino rity of their wards, and trustees with discretionary powers of dealing with land for the benefit of others, are entitled to vote; and that a husband has the right of voting in respect of lands belonging to his wifir.--( Cambridge Chronicle.) DitAtNING.—A steam-engine of forty horse power is now erecting, to drain a quantity of land between March and Whittlesca, called the March fourth district, con sisting ,1 of about NOM acres. The engine is calculated to drain with case from 10 to 15,009 acres. There is a large tract of land adjoining the above district, which, no doubt, in a short time, will partake of the benefit to be derived front such a cer tain drainage as steam presents. In fact we hope the time is not far distant when a wind-engine to drain•land will be a Several spirited merchants and ship-owners of this port (Liverpool) have announced the establishment of a line of packets to Hail between Liverpool and Kingston, Ja maica, on the let and 16th of every month, throughout the year. We trust that so spirited an undertaking will prove successful.—( Liverpool Courier.) POETS.—PLUTARCII has written a clever trea tise on the utility which may be drawn from the study of poetry. " Volumes would not suffice (says at Italian Journalist) to tell the evils that this enticing art has occasioned. If it be trite that ALEXANDEIt was incited to his conquests by reading 1-lostEa, (as all antiquity avers,) we have one fact equivalent to a thousand. Ilow may dullets has SHARSPEARE produced ! how many Lore/aces Richardson ! Imagination soon prompts to itnitation." A SABBATH IN BELGIUM.—MOSt of the people go to church ; but as soon as the service is over, some go home to their respective private employments (for there are no public work on Sunday), others, particularly the young of both sexes, go to their amusements. Some have a dance, of which they are as fond as their neighbours. Others amuse themselves by meeting in a house and singing altogether. There is same thing very solemn and elevating in their chorus. But the chief attraction is some mountebank or legerdemain exhibition. In stead of street-preaching, as one might see in Whiteehapel or the Borough, i have here seen, just us the chapel door was closed, a man produce his monkey and his camel, and very me ritorious performances they were. The latter, unwieldy awl dull in all appearance, danced lightly to the tune of an I r i s h jig, and was applauded by hundreds of zealous spectators. The monkey went through various evolutions on the slack rope. _ .ANOTHER FORBIDDEN TREE.—Not in a dis tant land, and not a hundred miles from Edinburgh, grew a tree, the pride of the owner's heart, who, with the assistance of a dog and gun, watched it like some dragon of romance for many days and nights. Aueighbour cast many a longing look to this truly noble tree, for it was loaded with pears, and he wished to make it a Tree of Liberty" to him, but not of " Knowledge" to its owner. CErtnEnue was owe put Willis guard ; 'and so was this three-headed guardian, for one un lucky evening, after watching long, man, dog, and gun, retired into the house. On the owner returning to his post, he beheld with dismay a pearless tree indeed. NeighbOur Sly was about the same tune suddenly taken ill, and the poor man died. When on his death-bed, he acknowledged that he had seized the lucky moment, as, alas !he then thought it—in short, ho robbed the tree, and used such dispatch, that the heat and fatigue had produced an inflammatory complaint, of which he died. The above, though jocularly told, is a true occurrence._ (Scotch Paper.) THE LATELY REPORTED MARRIAGE.—The lovely actress, who a few days since was within an {itch of being united to a wealthy commoner residing in this county, is at the present moment full a Foot from being so. The morning ap. pointed for the happy event had arrived —a sumptuous breakfast was provided by the father of the intended bride—the clergyman was in waiting, and nothing but the presence of the Gentleman was wanting to consummate the ceremony., It appears that he had come to town for the express purpose, and had taken up his residence at Long's Hotel, to which place, after the appointed hour had elapsed, a messenger was dispatched, when it was found that his friends, averse to the match, had locked him in his chamber. Under a similar confinement, the messenger was immediately placed; and a second messenger, who soon after arrived, shared, the like fate. At length some of the Lady's friends went in quest of the lover, and reached Long's just at the moment he was stepping into his carriage, which conveyed him into the country. Thus has terminated the hopes of !dr. F. and his beautiful daughter.-4 Devizes Gazette.)

THE KING, &c. lirtrrpson, OCT. B.—Yesterday and to-day the weather having been more favourable, his MAJESTY and Suite have taken their accustomed drives through the various rides sur rounding the Royal Lodge. Yesterday his Majesty's harriers again turned out at Fern Hill, where they had some fine runs , and killed several hares. One of the Morning Papers has stated that the King's harriers had not been out in the Great Park during this week, that the pheasant preserves might not bc dis turbed by the dogs. This a sportsman will readily believe, as it is not the present fashion to turn out harriers where birds arc preserved. The King's harriers meet twice a-week generally on the borders of the Park where the hares arc not too plenti ful. His Majesty's Stag Hounds will meet for the first time this season, on Monday next, when a fine Stag will be turned out for that day's sport. ,--# ,C s Is ' —• ;?*/ . - - ( 4 4N s 1 r . ,411p:i% , is, : , • . i:,l', -pi r • J \ . .' tlk, 1 rti4P-,, '''',‘---;-;:",,i4 f:eljiiii -k: - l ~:.;1.. )4.,..,•:1101:.;..---7. -;'' '-‘l'.'ii. , 71 . .i. # n 2. ,-, ors, „." 0 f ) l ,-4 • 7.,,,,r , , J , .1 ,4 ' 4 i, - 47. 1 ".••• st• • - - 4s, 4g i• ..-1 livt:•.,- c -1,•!:1,71"-_-c-.:s'" 1161 .. , 4 4 to o l ..‘ • 4 :4 I, '..11e7;4:-.:11..- RUT .:. ;----4.11.

THE LATE KING OF FRANCE. . A commemorative Office for the late King of Franco took place yesterday at Townsend-street. Doctor Murray offi ciated, and read High Masa with the most imposing and im pressive effect. Many of the parochial Clergy were in attend. ance. The congregation was so numerous, that long before the office for the dead-commenced, the body of the Chapel was crammed to repletion. The greater part of the area of the Chapel was occupied by the paraphernalia of the funeral obsequies. A coffin, covered with a rich pall of black velvet, was placed in the centre ; " the likeness o f the kingly crown" and other insignia of royalty, were placed upon and beside it. Four large cinuklabra, of pyramidical shape, lit up with varie gated lamps, stood on either side of the coffin. The several appropriated decorations, used on several occasions in France, were called into requisition, and the whole ceremony was con. ducted with the great precision and very creditable correctness —The coup d'ail was exceedingly striking, and th e so l emn i ty was altogether performed in a style and manner worthy the occasion which the Clergy and congregation had assembled to commemorate. Many foreigners were present, principally Frenchmen, naturally anxious to pay the tribute of their loyal attachment to the memory of departed royalty.-.4)4ofin Freeman's Journal.)

FOR TIIE SUN. Ma. EDITOR—Among a Manuscript Collection of Ballads, belonging to a friend of mine, I met with the following, which 1 have copied and send to you, less on account of any intrinsic merit which it possesses, than because the story bears so near a resemblance to late transactions in my neighbourhood, that, did I not know otherwise, I should almost have supposed it could have been composed on no other occasion. The slumbers of the dead—slumbers undisturbed for ages past —have lately been broken in our church-yard : in one instance, indeed, the very case which forms the subject of this Ballad, I am credibly informed, took 'place. A coffin, containing a body, was sawn through. Much speculation, of course, arose on the object of these resurrec tionary proceedings. It is now ascertained that a %all is to be built round the church-yard ; whether the circumstances have any connection, like that of slinilercircumstances in the Ballad, it is not for me to determine. But certain it is, that, not long after the removal of the bodies, a notice appeared on the church-door, advertising the sale of " Dust and Ashes," which every one must regard as only an euphonious way of an nouncing the vendibility of the said bodies. Certainly the thing could not have been more delicately done. Having said thus much on the reasons which induced me to send you the follow ing, I leave it at your disposal, begging leave to remain, Sir, Your most obedient servant, lEGIDIANUS TRANSTAMESINU S . A New and Right Pleasannt Ballad to be sung to the Tune of 6 ' The Law and the Profits," called ANASTASIA DICHOTO- MIZOMILNE. Hollow and deep the death bell toll'd As they laid her corse in the dark damp mould : 'follower, deeper, the midnight bell Struck, as they open'd her earthy cell. Black was her coffin. and black her pall : But the night they rais'd her was blacker than Deep and close her grave they made : But sleeper and closer dig mattock and spade. Oak was her coffin so strong to see; But the saw will cut thro' the stout oak tree: Lead was the coffin that bound the dead: • But mallet and chisel will cut thro' lead. Long bed she lain in the dark damp ground : rho her flesh had decay's!, her bones were sound: '.l'hro' shroud, sound hones, and flesh decay'd, \Vent mattock and chisel and saw and spade. Right thro' the midst, with unholy force, They have torn the coffins, and shroud, and corse: In the head of the coffins lir shoulders and head: In the foot the rest of the mangled dead. Is the mangled dead Mr. Brooks's price ? Is she rais'd for St. Thomas's sons or Guy's ? Or steal they the corse at midnight hour For necromancie's sudsiest power ? They steal her not for Cooper or Brooks: Nor yet with her skin to bind magic books : But with her to build a wall they trust : Her bones the mortar, the bricks her dust, Now holy St. Giles and St. George to speed Gramercye, Churchwarden, for this thy deed ! In parish porter and wassailing, Thou mayst not drown this unhallowed thing The incuba foul, Dyspepsia bight, Shall sit on thy fcvcr'd breast all night : Below the third rib, where they tore her thro', The fearful visitant tears thee too ! Dieaming awake, and restless asleep, A slumbering watch thou Reenlist to keep : 'Leitrim thou the clang of the midnight bell ? Churchwarden! Churchwarden! thou limiest it well! Full well I ween, Churchwarden ! that night Thou wouldist not have slept without a rushlight: Can a rushlight the shapes of fear dispel ? Churchwarden ! Churchwarden ! thou seest them well I Pale was her eye, as night on the sea, When the clouded moon shines dubiously; Green was her face where it was not blue, Or where a glimpse of the skull pcep'd thro' Scant on her long arms lay the akin: The curtain of flesh on her ribs was thin : All from the third rib down to the feet She held in her hand with her winding sheet. " Now list, thou Churchwarden I for thee I erect!, Dear shalt thou rue this unhallowed deed Thou bast rent my shrouded frame In twain, And ne'cr shall its parts be join's' again. Bake me in bricks to build thy wall! Thy bricks shall break and thy rampart fall. Grind my bones to mortar small ! Thy mortar shall break and desert thy wall." Cold is the grave in the dark damp mould ; lint I ween the Churchwarden felt yet more cold : Blue was the gleam that the rushlight threw; But I ween the Churchwarden look'd yet mire blue. Builder and bricklayer rise with the day: But where is the mortar, and where the clay P Ready arc shovels, and trowels, anti all : But where's the Churchwarden to build the wall ? Far is the mortar, and far the clay : And I ween the Churchwarden is far away . : By F auction ortlsebonhesatah the Churchwardenmithe di n istforthesold. good bright gold, Now good St. Giles and St. George be his stay, Whoever has bought the bones and the clay !

CANTERBURY, OCT. B.—The CATCH CLUB Of this City commenced for the season on Wednesday evening, and at an early hour the room was crowded in every part. The Chair was again resumed by the President (Mr. C. DE tstan,) who for so many years has given such general satisfaction, by. his urbanity and gentlemanly conduct, and which has likewise added to the prosperity of Society.

James Deacon, late of Gloucester -court, St. James's-street, carpenter, cause up to claim his discharge, which no creditor oppost.d. It appeared, however, on examining the insolvent'a schedule, that he was discharged in 1823, and that his present insolvency was attributed to becoming bail for a man who was apprehended from one of the notorious gambling-houses in St.' James's : hence arose, as the insolvent stated, through the neglect of the attorney, considerable expence, and eventually his (insolvent's) recogpizances were ordered to be estreated.— The Con we declares hat he had no right whatever to become bail for any person, he well knowing at the time he offered himself that he was imposing upon the Magistrates before whom he had thought proper to appear, and ordered the case to stand over generally for insolvent to obtain the consent of of his creditors. Printed notices are now circulating about Ken sington, setting forth that--Whereas, divers wasiterwarnen, laundresses, &c., are in the habit of using deleteriously made soap, or some chemical preparation, for the purpose of getting clothes clean more speedily than can be accomplished by comnion soap, and the ordinary means of good deal drubbing ; and that such composition occasions swellings of the hands, arms, &e., whereby the poor women who wash for the several laundresses and washer-woman, using this pernicious preparation, are frequently soon unable to work, and thus often become chargeable to the parish. The Trustees of the Poor therefore warn all persops who may have adopted the use of such composition henceforth to abstain from its further use; and they add, that if such warning be not observed, they shall be compelled to try whether there may not be legal means of enforcing its disuse.—(He raid.) MELAINICIIOLT.OOCUrtnErscts.—On Wednesday a most distressing scene occurred in sight of many persons nt Minehead and the coast adjacent. A brig from America, bound for Bridgewater, hove in sight, anti hoisted signal for a pilot. Two boats, .well manned, immediately put off from Minehead pier; in one of which was a well known pilot,' n together with John Webber and. four other George therperson' N s. eeds lt , then blew a tremendous gale from the south-west. When their boat got without about two miles of the brig, and the same distance from the shore. between Jlurdstone Point and Green-lay, she capsized, and Neols and Webber were drowned.. Two of the oth er men swam to the other boat, anti two remained on the raft for a considerable time, and they were at length provi dentially saved.—Needs was in about half an hour after wards found floalito within a few yards from the spot", where the boat capsized, and was brought ashore a corpse ; of de the in brit; saving an ti the the s n o r t v h i e v r n boar rs _ the other body had not been found - when this ilrticle was written. Mr. Caine*, of Langport, held a n i nqueN; on Needs on Saturday; and a' verdict of " A cc id enta ll y Drowned" was returned. Much praise is due to the crew o f a 'King's boat which was lying within the pier at the ti me , o f the ella as exertions to h the e e r y m e wbi a (.D(41.1 Conntg Chronicle.) forth the occident, great s T RE ET Cy Alt ITY.---‘C g l ga i 1 11 0 U fr s o a n n l d thee; sa ! saysm ac me in y iv A e N a . s. v YALE, " give money to be they pay their corn cutter, to walk easy ; and many 4 halfpenny is given to impudent and designedly persecuting rascals, whom, if it could be done handsomely, a man would cane with much' greater satisfaction.
