DISCOVERY FOR DIE CURE OF CANCER! ! IT must be a great consolation to those who .11. are afflicted with Cancer. Glandular Complaints, and Indurated Swellings, to know that the ANTINIONIA Oil., discovered by thu. late sh e arryat, a short time previous la. his death, and_proved to ascertain mire for the above' complaints, if upphed in time, and a palliation in confirmed Cancer, is now carefully prepared from the original Receipt, by a private Gentleman, and sold in bottles at i is. and 225. each, with full directions fur use, by his Agents, Messrs. Butlers', Chemists, No. 4, Cheapside, St. Paul's, and 4'20, Regent-street, near the Argyle Rooms, London; Waterloo place, Edinburgh t and Sackvillu-street, Dublin t and by the principal Medicine Venders throughout the kingilon). Timely application of this invaluable remedy, in every ease where there is the slightest appearance or apprehension of Cancer. is most seriously advised, in order to arrest at once the dangerous progress of its baneful elfects, anan d pre- Vent the painful and too frequent necessity of the knife. In cases of lirunchocele, usually called the Derbyshire Neck, the Antituonial Oil is held in tlio highest estimation, as being peculiarly efficacious. To T. TAYLOR, Esq.

On Wednesday last, the Bth inst., the Hayling, Bridge and Causeway, an undertaking of much local advan tage, was opened for public accommodation in a manner which displays the universal estimation in which it is held, and with a degree of eclat never before exhibited or witnessed in that part of the country. At an early hour of die morning, notwith standing the unpropitious state of the weather, the inhabitants of Havant and its neighbourhood began to prepare for the ap proaching event with an hil ar ity an d unanimtty seldom before manifested; all party distinction was forgotten,and unalloyed satisfaction seemed to pervad e t h e m i n d s o f all lasses upon the occasion. Soon after 11 o'clock, carriages began to pour is from all quarters, amidst a merry peal from the bells, and by twelve near a hundred vehicles of various descriptions, but prin cipally consisting of Gentlem en ' s carr iages, filled w ith a ll the fashion and beauty of the neighbourhood, had assem bled at the East end of the town. Soon afterwards his Grace the Duke of Norrolk, who had landed at Ports mouth from his beautiful yacht, in which he had been taking aquatic excursions, drove. through the town, and hav ing received the hearty and re s l i kif u l greetings of the multi tude assembled, immediately proceeded to Warblingten-house, the residence of 'Wm. Padwick, junior, Esq., where his Grace was received by that Gentleman, Sir G. T. Staunton, Bart., Sir Charles Hamilton, Baronet, and other individuals of dis tinction. A fter the party had partaken of refreshment, they prepared to carry into effect the object for which they had assembled; and all things being arranged, they formed them. selves. into line, and proceeded in the following order:—Sir George Staunton and Mr. Padwick, on horsebaek ; his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, in his carriage and four; the carriages of Sir G. Staunton, Mr. Patlwick, jun., Mr. Raper, Mr. Pad wick, sen., Mr. 'Brenton, and other Gentlemen. On arriving at 11a. vain, the procession was joined by the carriages of Admiral Hal kett, Mr. Dashwood, Mrs. Leeke, .Mrs. Short, Ilev, Mr. Norris, Rev. Dr.. Davis, &c., a number of post-chaisesrgigs, &c., and a long line of. waggons, which were decorated with evergreens andribbon, nod tilled by rustics in their holiday suits. Here the' party was receded by .a pair of the Ktng's colours, borne by two VI aterloo men, the band belonging. : to the Ports mouth Division of Royal Marines, and another pair of colours. —The band struck up a lively tune, and the cavalcade in this order proceeded down the East and South streets to Langstone, and from thence over the Bridge and Causeway,. into Hayling Island. On arriving here, his Grace alighted, .and, accom panied by Sir G. Staunton, Mr. Padwick, antLother gentlemen, took a survey of the works, when he was pleased to express his high approbation of their construction. At this time the scene was particularly animating and interesting: the Causeway; anti approaches, which arc near a mile in length, were completely covered In their whole extent by a line of car riages, fl a nked, on each side by the numerous a s se mbl ag e on horseback and on foot. Langstone Harbour, over which the works extend, was also crowthal, in the vicinity of the Bridge by a num ber of vessels gallantly dressed out in colours, headed by the steam-vessel belonging to the Portsmouth and Arundel having on board a band of music, and eb y elonging . to the Portsmouth and Arund e l theNa vpigarinteioipualChnomropan Barge Company in tow, containing that Company's Committee of Management. The whole combined to give,a deep interest as well as splendour to the festive scene. After remaining a short time In the Island, the company began to return; and the Duke, Sir George Staunton, &c. again proceeded to Warbling ton House, where they remained until dinner was announced, which wits a public one, provided by Iloldaway t of the Bear Inn, Havant, and certainly did hint much credit for the taste cud liberality he displayed on the occasion. Soon after four the Chair was taken by Wm. Padwick, jun. Esq. supported by his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, on his right, t E h s e v e t i t , :t o n i d iia .l i t i Obineetnort removed, anti Sir ti• T. Staunton, Bart. M.P. on the left; E. B.

The toast •• enthusiasm, and drank amidst thunders oa was receiv e d w i t h applause. Grace, • • 11 is after thanking the company the very. flatter lug teetiniony of th e i r regard just ex duer tett, took occasion to . advert to the, object which had drawn them together; h served, that had i t not been Oenergy and public spirit r the • ot (heir worthy Chairman, the works, in all human probability, would never have b een constructed; the public and the inhabi: tants of the neighbourhood in • ed particular were highly indebted to hint for his exertions, and he should beg to propose his health In a knalper. - The proposition was received by an una bura of applause, and long and continued cheers testi fied the company's participation in the sentiments his Owe had, so flatteringly expressed. The next toast given from the Chair, " Sir G. T. Staunton, Bart. the Lord of the Manor, and a warm promoter of the undertaking," was receiv e d in a similar manner,. and called forth the thanks of that Gentleman, in a lucid and effective speech. In alluding to the events of the day, be al*o.gave his meed of applause to the Chairman, for his public spirited exeraons, anti expressed his full concurrence in the sentiments delivered by him, with reference to the distinguished honour conferred upon them, by the countenance of the head of the 11- his:lions House of Howard, Hereditary Earl Marshal of Eng land, and next in rank to the blood royal, on the occ as i on o f that day's proceedings. In conclusion (on reference to th e ale . plauee and general manifestation of satistaction with which the company received the proposition for his health) he observed, with much feeling that the kindness and attention he had .re ceived from the inhabitants of Havant, whilst ha had resided amongst them, had made a deep and lasting impression upon his mind, that nothing could have been more flattering to him titan this testimony of their good opinion, which it would ever be his anxious study to deserve; and that he always had considered-it one of the most .fintunate circumstances in a life spent in various quarters, in the service of bis,coun try,' that it had been his lot finally to settle among a society so amiable and respectable, and distinguished by every thing that does honour to the English character, as that of the town and neighbourhood of Havant.—The Earl of Surrey—The Lord Lieutenant of the County—The Duke of Richmond— The Earl of Egremont—Sir Charles Hamilton, Bart.—E. B. Brenton, Esq--John Butler, Esq.—and many other toasts were drank, and uninterrupted harmony prevailed amongst the company until near eleven o'clock, when they separated highly gratified with the proceedings of the day. Amongst the dinner party we observed, .best es the individuals before mentioned : -Sir Charles Hamilton, Bart. Colonel Burke, Colonel Evett, Rev. St. John Alder, Mr. Raper, Mr. Max well, Mr. Bitume, Mr. , Lynch, Mr. Barrow, Mr. Mecham, Rev. .1. Stopford, Mr. Abraham, DIN. Butler, Mr. Stedman, &c. Sixty sat down to dinner, and time company was occa sionally enlivened by the Marine Band, and a company of Glee Singers, who attended and performed many pieces of music, anti sung a variety of glees appropriate to the occasion. Not the slightest accident happened, and a sentiment of uni versal satisfaction difihsed itself amongst the company through out the day. It is notorious that some of the Government packers are old, slow-sailing vessels, and utterly unfit for the purpose. The importance to a commercial country like this of fast-sailing packets is so great, that we tntst the evil now com plained of will be speedily remedied. The Earl of Atralsing ham packet sailed troni Buenos Ayres on th e 26 t h o f J une ; the letters by her arrived in this town last M on d ay. On the same day, advices, to the 30th of June were received here via New York. The vessel which carried those advices to the United States arrived at Baltimore on the 7th of August ; and the line of packet ship New York communicated the same to this port ; sailing from New York, on the 16th of August, and arriving here last Monday. Thus, notwithstandi ng t h e l oss o f nine days in the United States', we have received by this very circuitous route,Aue days later intelligence than by the Ciovern ment packet direct.--(Liverpool Adverti ser . ) Mr. GatstALut, senior, had a dream, terrific in its nature, and one that made such an impression on his mind, that nothing could efface*. It was a strange one, to be sure, anti he used to relate it thus :—" That the Devil one night appeared to him in it, and told him, that on the first Fri day, in. some month, he would come for him." He, therefore, the first Friday evening in. every month entertained company, who sat up with him, titinking thereby ( as some p a ,pi e say) to cheat the Devil. But it is very remarkable, that he did die on a Friday. and the first in the month, which, in some measure, verified his them. . LITERARY NOTICE. The AGAMEMNON of fEtiCtIYLUS, translated by J. SvmsioNs, Esq. M. A. late Student of Christ Church, Oxford. Coneletded . .) When we last noticed this excellent produe. don, we were compelled by the straitness of our limits to omit the larger and the better part of that citation, with which it was our purpose at once to gratify our readers, and to evince the powers of Mr. SirstaioNs's lyric Muse. We la mented our inevitable deficiency on this occasion, and we intended to supply it by inserting in one of our immediately succeeding papers the whole of that fine choral ode, of which we .had then ex hibited little more than the introduction. Such, at that time, was our desifn t but many circum. stances have occoried to disappoint its execution ; and so long a period has .uovr intervened that we cannot resume it With its 'first destined effect. Sorry, therefore, as we may be, to lose the augu. vial eagles, and the sacrifice of Iphigenia, which adorn, and give interest to • this opening chorus of the drama, we must now turn from them, null produce as theiriUbstitutes some• rich pieces of poetry, selected frOtti the choruses which follow. The first extract, which we shall make, will be short, including only the description of Heleu on her first arrival at Troy, as we find it in the third song of the chorus : but the second will be of greater length, cOmprehending the whole of that noble lyric effusive poured out by the chorus under the irresistible effect of instant inspiration— of inspiration, whitlfcommands their organs with out attention to their wills, on the communication of knowledge - to their minds. • When first she came to Ilion's towers • 0 what a glorious sight, I ween, was there! The tranquil beauty of the gorgeous Queen flung soft as breathless summer on her cheeks, Where on the damask sweet the glowing Zephyr slept ; And like an idol beaming front its shrine, So o'er the floating gold around her thrown Her peerless face did shine t And though sweet softness hung upon their lids, Yet her young eyes still wounded where they look'd. She breathed an incense like Love's perfumed flower, Blushing In sweetness; so she seem 'd in hue, • And pained mortal eyes with her transcendent view : E'en so to Paris' bed the lovely Helen came. But dark Erinnys, in the nuptial hour Rose in the midst of all that bridal pomp, ' Seated midst the feasting throng, • - Amidst the revelry and song ; Erinnys, led by Xenius Jove, Into the halls of Priam's sons, Erinnys of the mournful bower, • 'Where youthful brides weep sad in midnight hoar. Why do these portents flit before my eyes, Sights which the ancient soothsayer saw ? Why does the voice of prophecy arise, And fill my soul with awe ? . Why sudden chants within my soul That song which ne'er is bought for gold, Unorder'd, uncontroull'd, And like a prophet speaks, so loud and clear within ? Nor will Assurance mount his throne, And make his sov'ran way, Like the morn's sun the dreams of night Scatters before his orient light, When mystery's shadows fade in empty air. Why is it so ? long time is past • Since on the sandy shore The armed ships their cables cast, Waiting to waft the soldiers e'er From hence to Ilion's strand. And now I sec them safe at home, • My own eyes witness they are come; And yet, I know not how, within 114 ill-presaging soul, , Of its own free accord , :Not to the lyre or tuneful chord, But to the notes of an Erinnys, sings The dirge that round the deadman rings ; Nor will my lab'ring heart find rest In hope or sweet assurance blest. 'Tis not for nought my bowels yearn, 'Tis not for nought within me burn • Thoughts whose bodings will not fail, Whilst my deep-eddying soul Hoes ins giddy whirlpool round. For surely , Health in the extreme . lain on a dangerous boundary ground, • . For her near neighbour stands Disease, And both the party-walls against each other lean. And many a time the gallant Argosie, That hears man's destiny with outspread sails In full career before the prosp'rous gales, Strikes on altidden rock, And founders with a hideous shock. The wealthy house on shipwreck's brim With measured sling may overboard Some of its precious hurden fling, But sinks not down itself brimful of woe; For Men the gift of Jove two-handed tills The yearly furrows, Joverrr ic o l w i se s ts , i if a ir n ow t m l a li tk r h i tevieltese teeming eternalmi n i n g e g To o f fu- round,n . • A N n at d u c r a e l tin n d e But 0 ! upon the earth, when once is shed Black deadly blood of man, Who will call up the black blood from the ground With moving incantation's charm ? Cheek'd not Jove Jiimself the man, • The mighty leech, who knew so well the art To raise the silent dead ? I pause 1 some Fate from heaven forbids The Fate within me utter more, Else had my heart outrun my tongts., And pour'd the torrent o'er. Silence and darkness close upon my soul, She roars within, immured, And in the melancholy gloom To liOnf dying emb e rsel:oftilis away. fades extract, " Why is it so? long time is past," &c. is appended a note, in which the critical sagacity of the learned translator is admirably displayed. We cannot transcribe the entire note ; but we will remark, that the substitution of frapsa - qo - sv for the usual reading of Trapr i t'-r)o-ke is most happy ; and of the some character with many of the pre ceding corrections 'of the corrupt text by the pen of our very able annotator. We have, indeed, been every where most forcibly struck with the stores of erudition, which he has scattered, with apparently a cureless hand, over his Preface and his notes; and we have every where admired the acuteness of mind, and the rectitude of judgment with which he has illustrated the obscure and has ree . tified the vitiated passages in his author. We cannot now enter into that detail which might be necessary to support the large praise which we here assign to Mr. S. But if. the scholar will attend to the emendations suggested by our Critic through the course of this work, and will weigh the merit of such substitutions as those of caryvvy for cao%wy in the fragment of arm mon, of Eeeturicgoy for ' l Equo-av way in the pas• sage which is preserved to - Us of the Phineus of lEsculrf.us, of reorr i vvriy (p.i9) for rfos 7,3ovvy, and of xffio; (p. 73) for xEtp9,-, he will not ob ject to our placing Mr..'S. at the head of the Greek critics of the present age, or of our class ing him with the most illustrious of his predeces. sors M. the- ages which are gone by.- Rich as he is in literary affluence of his own ; Mr. S., as we are persuaded, would never condescend to the offence of literary larceny ; or would ever seek to deck himself with a plume which had waved on the heed of a preceding scholar.. We feel assured, therefore, that he had not read Mr. Kim's gleanings of the memorabili a o f P ORSON , when he proposed "Exp.' 'Airc.).;%wy as an emen dation of the corrupt fragment of Ilermesianax preserved in Athenams. In this instance, how ever, of accidental. (as we are convinced) coind. deuce, Mr. S. SPetlIS to us to be more accurately correct than Porson in his conjectural emenda tion, for the "sxfccs of the former is more just in its dialect than the attic 'Exs of_the latter. We must here take our leave of Mr. S YM. MOMS, and submitting his Agamemnon to the judgment of our poetic and our learned readers, express our thanks to him for the entertainment and the instruction with which he has supplied us.
