AFRICA. (EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED CAPE COAST, .10)Tt 19.) Since the Northumberland sailed, we have received a copy of a letter (dated the 24th of March) from yourself, and other merchants, to Mr. Hay, with his reply (of the 31st of March), acquainting you that . it was the intention of His Majesty's Government to abandon these settle ments at ti e expiration of the present year, al lowing to the merchants (should they be disposed to remain) for the purpose of keeping up a militia force, 2,0001. for the first year, 1,5001. for the next, and 1,000/. for each succeeding year. I must beg to trouble you with a few re marks on this subject, on which we have addressed a memorial to his Majesty's Govern ment, and a letter to yourself and others : you will perceive that we consider it quite impossible to support such a moderate force as will ensure us protection with the sum which has been pro p,osed. The annual allowance by the Dutch for Elmina is 5,0001.: will the British Government place us on a less respectable footing ? It seems to me that one consideration has not had due weight with his Majesty's Ministers, — namely, the very unfavourable impression which will be made on the minds of the natives, by its appearing that we are deprived of the support of our Government at home. If they once know that we have only our own resources to depend upon, adieu to safety and proteetion, both to our persons and property. On however small a scale the future establishment may be formed (and we are quite convinced it will be on the lowest possible), it is, I think, of the utmost importance that the local government should • ap pear to proceed from, and to be supported by, authority from England. If his Majesty's Go .. • vernment objects to having the trouble of ma naging a settlement which they deem of so little importance, might the affairs not be conducted by .a committee of three or five merchants in London, which committee should have the ap pointment of the few officers required here, and be accountable to Ministers for the expenditure of the annual grant : the natives have been accus tomed to the name of a company or committee, and would respect such authority as heretofore. With perfect justice his Majesty's Govern ment seem anxious that we should not possess such a force as to enable or encourage us to in terfere in the disputes of the native tribes : we never desired such a power. We request only such a respectable.force as will enable us to pre serve a neutrality, or, in case of attack, to defend our lives and property; but if our strength be too much reduced, we may be compelledon case of being threatened with another hostile visit from Ashantee, to join the states situate between them and ourselves, and thus our .weakness would be the cause, instead of being the preven tion, of war. When I take into consideration the naval force supported on this coast, I cannot persuade myself that the prevention of the slave trade is a matter of indifference to his Majesty's Government ; and I will undertake to say, that, if.further reduction takes place in our force here, that traffic will be revived to a great extent. I doubt not that Commodore Bullen will bear wit ness to the evil effects of withdrawing the Go vernment establishment, as exemplified at Accra, and (under similar circumstances) such would be the case hese.. By the authority and influence of the British • Government, the slave trade has been entirely suppressed in this quarter; the con dition of those in a state of domestic slavery has been much ameliorated, anti every dis couragement given to a continuance of that system. Through the same influence, hu man sacrifices, and many other barbarous customs have been abolished ; magistrates have been appointed, before whom causes are brought for adjudication, by which means serious and last ''ncr disputes have been either prevented oramica bly,arranged ; to these authorities the people in genera? pay willing obedience,—the weak finding a protection against the more powerful; but if we 0 have not a sufficient force to aid us in the ese•• • cutiou of the laws, a turbulent and factious Chief with numerous adherents may set us at defiance. The first steps towards civilisation are ale most (Moult, _though perhaps the least perceptible.-ss , It is certain that considerable improvement has been effected during the last ten years in the manners, habits, and customs, of the natives in 4he vicinity of our settlements ; schools have been establi.shed, and many youths educated at them are now gaining a respectable livelihood.— Are Their fair prospects to be blighted ? Is all that has been done to be lost for the sake of a tr ifli ng ex penditure, which will, at the same time, extend our commerce, assist the cause of humanity, and promote civilisation ? We con fidently trust that his Majesty's Government will yet take a more liberal view of this question. I hope to be able by next vessel to send you a favourable account of the progress of our nego elation with Ashantee. We trust that Captain Ricketts will be continued ;it the coniznand, at least till this affair is settled, and some other re gular system of government is established ; he has had some experience in th e countr y (which is of great importance), and his manners and c onduct to the natives are firm, yet conciliating; with his very limited means, his a dministration has beeo very beneficial. Gloomy as our pros• pects may appear, with reference to the late com munication of the intentions of Government, and the y e t unsettled state of affairs here, we look forward with (we trust) a well-grounded hope to the future ; and we feet a sincere, an honest, and a proud confidence, that I.vben peace shall be re stored to the country, the commerce of the Gold Coast will prove of such value and importance, as fully to have deserved and to justify the best exertions of our friends.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, dated Sept. 9.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Aun. 10.—The Porte spews such repugnance for every kind of negociation with the Ministers who have signed the Treaty of London, that it seems even to intend to break off the inter course with them on ordinary business. The con ferences respecting the free navigation of the Black Sea, respecting which the convention of Akermann is not sufficiently clear, are said to be completely suspended. M. do Ribeaupierre has found himself under the necessity of referring to his Court, for in structions. Up to this day the Ministers of the three Powers have not made any forinal overture to the Porte relative to the Treaty of London. Our capital is tranquil, but the military prepara tions continue, especially those for the marine, which the Sultan appears to consider of particular im portance. We learn from Alexandria, that the Pacha was collecting a number of vessels of all sixes, in which about 5,000 men were to be embarked for the Mores. It is supposed that this expedition will reach its destination at the end of August. The assistance of the Egyptians is depended upon to reinforce the Turkish marine, and to complete Ibrahim's army, which haS suffered so much by sick ness that his operations have been paralysed. Mean time; he overruns the whole Peninsula, collecting the harvest and the wine, which he sends to the magazines at Patras. It seems that he has given up, for the present, his views on Napoli di Romania, though he still keeps up a correspondence with some of the Greek Chiefs in that town. One of his letters to Colletti, which has been in tercepted, must have convinced the Greek Govern ment that it was on a volcano. To prevent greater misfortunes, General Church took the resolution to secure the possession of Fort Palamide, but as the Suliots would not obey his orders, though he is Ge neral-in-Chief,-he was obliged to employ force. ALEXANDRIA, JULY 11.—The latest accounts from France have inspired the Christians here with the hope of a decisive mediation in favour of the Greeks. Many persons think that the Egyptian expedition, though the sth of the'new Moon is fixed for its de parture, will be detained here by superior orders; or by the threats of the Powers, or by the real force of the European squadrons, which are before the port. VIENNA, AUG. 30.—Severin Jaroszinsky has to day expiated his crime, by suffering capital punish ment in the presence of an • innumerable multitude. He died like a hardened villain, over.whom the con solations of religion had no influence. On the way to the place of execution the people pitied the wor thy priest, who endeavoured, hot in vain, to perform his office. The criminal looked almost like one out of his senses—a hideous laugh, mixed looks of aver sum to the priest, alternated with fits of weakness, which his robust constitution seemed, however, to resist. (From the Quotidienne.) PARIS, SEPT. 7.—Some German Papers announce, that the Infant Don Miguel had taken his leave of the Emperor of Austria, previous to taking his de parture for Portugal. The Austrian Observer announces, that Colonel Washington has died at Napoli di Romania, in con sequence of the wounds he received in the last dis turbances, of which that town was the theatre. The day before yesterday an extraordinary courier arrived at Paris from Madrid. After having stopped for a few moments at the hotel of the Charge d'Affaires of Spain, he set off for London. (From the Constitutionnel.) (PRIVATE CORAESPONDENCE..--By EXPRESS.) MADRID, Auc. 31.—.-Every thing is calm here, so that I have only to add to my letter of the 27th, that some new and very curious details have trans pired on the fall of M. Recacho, and some informa tion respecting the situation of our Camarilla and its intrigues, and upon our position relative to France and England, which are the Powers which are per forming the first parts here, Russia and Austria having abandoned almost entirely to their manage Klent the affairs of the - Peninsula. The dismissal: Of M. Recacho and dissolution of the Police were signed on the Ist of August; nevertheless, M. Recacho, who between that day and the 15th, went three times to St. Ildefonso, knew nothing of it any more than his agents, so secretly was the affair conducted; and, on the 15th, at midnight, when he ceased to be Intendant-General of Police, and at the instant that M. Zarilla entered his house to inform him of it, M. Recacho was engaged in sealing the daily report he was in the habit of making the King, a report in which the Ministers were not always spared. It is not to the Apostolic party alone that we must attri bute the fall of M. Recacho, for it is known beyond a doubt that what are considered the moderate. Minis ters largely contributed to it; so tfit it may be safely said, that without jealousy which the favour enjoyed by M. Recacho inspired them, he might have resiste the whole Apostolic force, who now alone enjoy the frUits of the victory the moderate party aided' in obtaining. The supreme Camarilla consists at present of five persons; two of whom are Ares, two moderate, and another a mere weather cock; the first are ie Duke de l'lnfantado and M. Calomarde ; the second the Duke de San Carlos and M. de Grigalva, and the third is M. Salcedo. M. de l'lnfantado lets M. Calomarde act, and approves of every thing he does : M. de San Carlos and M. de Grigalva each act their own way ; but in in trigue and activity they are far behind the first ; as for M. Salcedo, sometimes he serves one and some times the other of these parties, just as it trusty suit his interest. (From the Constituaonnel.) PARIS, SF,Pir. B.—The Moniteur congratulated its readers yesterday on the issue which it calls for tunate of the affairs of Portugal. In its expansive joy, it sees the confirmation of the general peace of Europe in the accession of Don Miguel to the Regency of Portugal, It even sees in it the con: firmation of the Portuguese Charter. We wish this may be realised; but there are so many modes of understanding, interpreting, and executing a Charter. The Moniteur, protesting that it respects the Charter of Don Pedro, wishes for some modifications in it. If Don Miguel follows its counsels, his first care, on entering Lisbon, will be to recast the institutions adopted by his brother. We are surprised that the Moniteur, in giving that advice, did not remember the words of the Legislator—" By the side of the advantage ofamel i orati rig, is e danger ofinnovation." We must not forget that in this phrase of the ordi nance of September the sth, the word Innovate is synonimous with Destroy. Do we trot, in fact, run the risk of destroying an edifice, when we attempt to give it a new base ? There are some fabrics so fragile that it is sufficient if we touch to destroy th em . h, speaking of the general peace to be consolidated by the arrival of Don Miguel in Portugal, the Moniteur finds itself led to say something of Spain. The words are too significant not to be reprinted. "It is also to calumniate Spain too much to believe that the single word Charter excites in her, as it were, an access of hydrophobia. She has ascertained that under the regime of a Charter the rights of Sove reigns can be def en d e d, an d revenged." If we understand this remarkable phrase, it is now beginning to be understood that the only means of pacifying S pa i n 5 to give it, or rather restore it, free institu tions. We this long ago.

Can we forget the prochimatlais of Ferdinand, in which he has acsoften declared, very energetically, that he would alter nothing in the forms of his govern ment, and would Maintain, in all its plenitude, the absolute power he had receive.d from his ancestors ? —Does what is now happening at Madrid, at the Escurial, in Catalonia, make the moment well chosen to think of listening to the wise advice of all the persons who have endeavoured to ascertain the state of affairs in the Peninsula ?

Hamburgh Papers to the 9th inst. have been received this morning. They mention one fact of peculiar interest to the lovers of literature, namely, the visit of the King of BAVARIA to congratulate GOETHE on the anniversary of bis birth-day. His MAJESTY is the true friend of genius, and thus takes the best way of showing his admiration of one whose talents shed so much lustre on Germany. In after ages men will remember the friend and admirer of GOETHE, when the King of BAVARIA will possibly be forgotten. The homage which greatness pays to genius invariably redounds to its own honour. PETEUSBURGH, AUG. 25. On the 18th, his Majesty and the Grand Duke Michael laid the first stone of the New Church of the Transfi guration, the old one having been burnt down about two years ago. His Majesty has written an autograph letter to General 13enkendorff, expressing his satisfaction at the ♦ictory ob tained by him over a numerous body of \,Persians, under Hassan Khan, between the villages of Seinti and Scholli, and at various successful attacks made during the siege of Erivan. WEIMAR, AUa. 29. On the 27th, in the evening, his Majesty the King of Bavaria, arrived Lere quite unexpectedly, with very few attendants. The next morning having visited the Grand Dute and Duchess, and viewed the pictures by Kranach, in the principal Church; and some of the public Establish ments, his Majesty, accompanied by the Grand Duke and the Hereditary Grand Duke, went to the house of Goethe, to wish him joy on his birth-day. When they entered the room Goethe was surrounded by a great number of persons, who had come for the same purpose. His Majesty, after offerity , his congratulations, presented to Goethe the Grand Cross of the Order of the Civil Merit of the Bavarian Crown, expressing a hope, that there might still he room in his breast for this mark of his esteem. The conversation soon tamed on Italy, and became very animated. BHRLIW, SEPT. b. On the 25th of last month the 4t h battalion of the line, and the Landwehr of the 3d corps, commanded by his Royal Highness Prince William, his Majesty's son s went into camp, at Teltow, for autumn reviews, and on the 31st the seven cavalry regiments of the line and Landwehr belonging to that corps, as well as the third brigade of artillery, also arrived in the camp, which his Majesty visited the same day. On the 2d his Majesty, with the Princes and Princesses of the Royal Family, at tended Divine Service in the camp. Prince William has his head-quarters at Teltow. Many Generals and officers, and persons of distinction, have arrived here, to be pre sent at the reviews. Accounts have been received, this morning, through France, from Barcelona, to the 29th August, which state that the Carlists had en tered Munreze, on the 26th, having surprised the Governor and Lieut.-Colonel of the 2d Regiment, who were out patrolling, threatening to shoot them if any resistance was made. They also disarmed 400 troops, and carried off 14,000 piastres which were in the public chest ; and put under contribution several of the principal mer chants. The letters also mention, that it was re ported that Iqualada had also been taken by the Rebels a few hours after the cavalry had quitted it. In short, every account from 'Spain furnishes further proof of the state of anarchy which every where prevails. ---,""eranttie- or a - letter -Oath - "Smyrna, dated August 4 :—Vice Admiral Sir E. Codrington arrived here on the 24th tilt. in the Asia, and sailed yesterday for Vonla, to water. His Majesty's ship Talbot sailed last night, for the coast of Troy and the Dardanelles, to over take and give protection to the Rambler and other vessels bound that way. His Majesty'S ship Carnelian will give convoy on the 7th, for Malta, to the Charlotte Wylie, Amanthea, Henry, and Czar. THE FUNDS-(MS DAY). CITY, Twßzrs o' CLoor. . Although there is very little increase of business in the English Funds to-day, the market appears inclined to improve; the purchases made by the Commissioners for the Sinking Fund, as well as those by the Saving Banks, taking off all the surplus stock on the market. Consols opened at 871, buyers, for account, and 878 for nouey; a slight improve ment may be stated to 87i f, at which price they continue. India Bonds are 93 4; Exchequer Bills, 60 2 pm. The Foreign Funds, particularly Mexican Bonds, seem to have recovered a little from the weight which pressed upon them yesterday, occasioned by rumours of an unfavourable nature; and there is indeed strong grounds for believing they arise from a quarter which is celebrated for former deeds of the same disreputable description. The Bonds, in consequence of a dis belief in these rumours, have improved to 66; Colom bian are 291 30 ; Brazilian, 671 ; and Buenos Ayres, G 1 3. In Shares there is literally no business; Brazilian Mines are 20 1 premium; every thing else remains the same, and prices nominal. A reasonable expectation of news from those in teresting Colonies, New South Wales and its De peudencies, may be hourly expected, the Cumberland, Captain Cairns, having arrived from thence at St. Helena on the 11th July, and was to sail from the latter place on the 15th for London.

It is said that the great City Capitalist has come to a determination not to attend the Royal Exchange except on Post days, and then only at 'Change hours.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The humorous Farce of Simpson and Co. is under ravival at the above theatre, for the purpose of introducing a lady to a London audience. The character she has selected for the occasion is Mrs. Bromley. Report speaks highly of the beauty and accomplishments of the fair debutante. Mr. HUSKISSON came to town yesterday morning from the seat of Earl Cowriza, at Pansanger, near Hertford. The Right Honourable Gentleman transacted business at the Colonial Office, and sent off dispatches to Sir FREDERICK ADAM, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. Despatches were sent off also to Sir J. KEANE, the Lieutenant-Governor of the Island of Jamaica, and others of the Governors of the West India Islands. The French Charge d'Affaires (Monsieur Ron() had a conference with Viscount DUDLEY yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Mr. Wilberforce, after having spent a few days with his friend, the Rev: Charles Musgrave, Vicar of Halifax, at that place, arrived here on Tuesday, where he is now visiting Mr. Hay. We are happy to find that the venerable Statesman and philanthropist, though labouring under the bodily infirmities incident to old age, retains full possession of his mental powers.—Leeds Mercury. MR. BROUGHAM AND THE PUBLIC CHA-. lIITIES.-The extent of the service which Mr. Brougham has conferred on the community, by the Act of Parliament passed some years ago for regulating and recovering cha rities, may be appreciated by the following fact :—By a late decision in the Court of Chancery, the lease of the coal mines belonging to St. Bees' school, in Cumberland, which Lord Lonsdale became possessed of from his ancestora, dated 1742, for a term of 867 years, has been set aside as not tenable. The consequence is, that Lord Lonsdale has not only to pay several thousand pounds in lieu of rent, up to the filing of the bill (1821), but, whereas, before this proceed ing, he was paying merely a nominal rent of Si. 10s. per annum, he now accepts a lease on a certain rent of 3001. a year, and subject to such other tonnage, rents, or charges, as may be agreed upon by indifferent persons skilled in colliery affairs.—Liverpool Commercial Chronicle. KING OF FRANCE'S JOURNEY TO ST. 03tER's.—His Majesty left Cambray at half-past eleven o'clock, and at his leaving the town the Municipa e l Body again paid him their homage. His Majesty re mained an hour at Bouchain to visit fortifications, and then continued his journey to Valenciennes. At Valenciennes, in addition to the usual persons who came forth to re ceive his Majesty, he found 2,000 colliers ranged along the road in brigades, carrying with them the pickaxe. and other instruments they use to dig costs with. The Mayor of Valenciennes, M. Desfontaine de Prettx, presented his Majesty with the keys of the city, and pronounced a long discourse ; to which hie Majesty replied, that he desired nothing so much se to contribute to the good of hie sub ject& His Majesty entered Valenciennes about three o'clock. His Majesty afterwards received the different Authorities, and was complimented by them. His Ma jesty, at the intercession of the Mayor remitted the fines imposed on eight persons for fraud, who had suffered the term of their imprisonment, but were unable to pay the tine and the coats. His Majesty afterwards visited the arsenal and the citadel, and in traversing the town was everywhere met by cheerful acclamations. After dinner there was a ball. His Majesty left Valenciennes on the next day (the 7th) for Douai, passing by Saint Arnaud and Orchies. his Majesty is to visit the collieries at Anzin, and the foundery at Resmes. By way of New York, letters from Mexico to the Bth, and from Vera Cruz to the 14th of July, have been received. A conducta, Os escort, with specie, was to proceed for the coast from the capital in about three weeks, but it was not expected to carry more than 600,000 dol lars, which would appear, as the letters state nothing to the contrary, to be all on private account. A document had been made public on the part of the Government of Vera Cruz, relative to the expulsion of the ex-Finance Minister Esteva from that province and another individual, whose name is Don Fausto Acedo, had been appointed as Com missary or Civil Governor of that province, the same office which Esteva had been deemed unworthy to fill.— If We may judge from appearances, the dispute which that question was supposed to involve with the Mexican Execu tive is subsiding into insignificance, and will probably be heard of no More. The paper war carried on between the political factions in Mexico continued to rage with great violence, but the country generally is said to be in a state of tranquillity. MR. WATT'S MONUMENT.—A monument to the late James Watt, Esq. has very recently been erected at Handsworth church, near this town, in the neighbour hood of which, for many years, this celebrated character resided. On the south side of the church, close against the communion, a Gothic chapel, about twelve feet by eight feet, has been built over the cemetery of Mr. Watt's family, and in which the remains of this gentleman arc now de posited. The interior of this erection is cased with stone from the celebrated quarry at Roach Abbey, in Yorkshire, the ceiling of which is also stone, grained Gothic. Nearly in the centre of thebuilding stands a marble Gothic pedestal, on the sides of which are cut the arms of the deceased, and on the front an inscription. Through a Gothic arch in the wall of the church, this exquisite specimen of the art is presented to the view of the spectators, and which will stand among the best productions of Chantrey, to the me mory of one of the most scientific characters of the present age.—Birmingham Journal.

The future will teacil us this. — Returning again to Portugal, to congratulate it and England at a result which, to the Moniteur, seems so fortunate for ell the world, it flatters itself that the departure of the English troops is at hand; and adds, "perfect security for Spain—whence the French occupation will be useless, and hence their evacuation." It is not without surprise that we have read in the Gazette de Lyons, some reflection on the marriage of Prince Metternich, who has united himself, it is said, to a young person of obscure birth, but endowed with virtue, grace, and talents. If it is wrong to meddle with the affairs of private life—it is worse to do it in ill-chosen words. The Gazette, which makes such a boast of its religious principles, and of its respect for morality—could it not have abstained from informing its readers, particularly in apologeti cal language, that in Russia and Germany custom authorises left-handed marriages, and that such mar riages raise the women very little, while they do not sink the husband ? This explanation of an equivocal custom ought to astonish us in a paper edited under ecclesiastic influence. We advise it to be a little more reserved. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Dank Stock 3 per Cent.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1927. We received last night the several French Papers of Saturday, with the Gazelle de France dated Sunday morning. The KING'S journey through the Northern pacts of France, with the. loyal Addresses presented to his MAsEsTic abundant matter for the Papers ; and these details, . with some comments on the Moniteur's article respecting the appointment of Don MiGuEr. to be Regent of Portugal, principally fill their columns. The Gazette de Frante, however, has some additional intelligence from Constantinople up to the 10th August. It ap peamthat the Porte manifests such repugnance to every kind of communication with the Mi nisters of the Great Powers who signed the Treaty for the Pacification of Greece, that it seems even to intend to break off intercourse with them on ordinary business, notwithstanding they had not, up to that time, made any formal communication to the Porte rela tive to the Treaty. This delay on the part of the Ambassadors was probably consider ed prudent for their personal safety, until the arrival of the Naval forces of the three powers in the neighbouring seas. The same article states that the Pacha of EGYPT was collecting a considerable number of vessels, in which hOOO men were to be embarked for the Alorea, for the purpose of reinforcing IBRA/Inf'S army. The accounts from Madrid come down to the 31st ult., at which time that capital remelted tranquil. M. CALOMARDE and the Apes tolicals carry every thing before them.

His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in India has issued a General Orcer, dated the 19th March last, restricting th e inflic tion of corporal punishment on native soldiers to the crimes of stealing , marauding, or gr oss in subordination, and directing that in any case in which such punishment is inflicted, the pan should be discharged from the ser v i ce . Ili s Excellency grounds this order on the convictlon that, from the quiet and orderly habits of tie native soldiers, it can be seldom necessary to in flict on them the punishment of flogging, whi e it may be almost entirely abolished with great advantage to their character and feelings. The propriety of this - regulation is fully ai• mitted by all those who have had the means 4f forming a just opinion of the character of tie people of whom our Indian Army is compose', and its effect will be extensively beneficial : it the same time it reads a moral lesson to tie Soldiers of our Own Army, that although tiny possess the higher advantages which belong lo the natives of a civilized and enlightened countrl, their irregular habits should still render it ne cessary? for the maintenance of discipline, to pre- DAY AT ONE O'Ci.OOK.

PLANTATION SUQARs.—A good deal of business has been done to-day at fall prices, but still the market ap pears rather languid, notwithstanding the 'deficiency in stock is now about 6,000 hhds. ; about 1,000 bhds, have been sold to-day. REFINED SUGARS.---At the close of last week, there was some very extensive business done for the Hamburgh market ; also in the middling description of goods for crashing, some very large contracts having been made, supposed to be upon speculation. _ . Comm.—The public sales of Plantation this morning have gone off with rather more spirit, and full prices have been given. The Right Hon. CHARLES WYNN and Family, left Whitehall-place, yesterday, for Llaudgewin, Denbighshire. THE WIDOW OF CHARLES JAMES FOIL- This lady is still alive. At the annual juvenile fete, given by Mr. W. H. WHITBREAD, jun. last week, at his seat in Bedfordshire, she was present among the visitors, and was an object of much curiosity. Sir HARCOURT LEES has been, for the last ten days, at Hawick, in Roxburghshire, shooting on the moors in that neighbourhood. The Prizes of the Caledonian Horticultural Society were awarded last week. ♦fter business, the Society dined in the Waterloo Tavern. The Edinburgh Papers contain a report of the speeches ; but they are as utterly destitute of the least interest or information as the late melancholy exhibition of the Ifighland Society here. It is a pity that the Members of Societies, whose aim is the spreading of knowledge, should have nothing useful to say when they meet. A letter has just been received at our police office from Manchester, stating that a person, answering the description of the supposed murderer of Gregson, is in custody. Gregson's son is gene off to Manchester to iden tify him.—Preston Pilot. At Uckfield, on the last fair day there, six persons (four of one family) dined together, whose united ages amuunte l to 460 years. The oldest of this elderly and healthy circle is 84, and it is a fact that in early life he possessed a spirit of economy that enabled him to save oue hundred pounds during the time he was in the service of a farmer, at the yearly wages of thirty shillings.—Lewes Paper. The following fact proves the nutritious quali ties of beef:--Humphries, the pugilist, was trained by Ripahaw, the keeper of the gaol at Ipswich. He was sweated in bed, and afterwards twice physicked. He was weighed once a day, and at first fed on beef ; bat as on that food he got too much flesh, they were obliged to change it to mutton.—Sincluir's Code of Health. The extension of the Exeter ship canal, being on the eve of completion, will be opened in due form by the Mayor and Corporation on Friday next. It is six miles in length, and when the basin opposite the quay is finished, vessels from 13 to 14 feet draught will be enabled to come up to the city. The whole of the hands employed on the canal works will be immediately transferred to the basin, and with the aid of a powerful steam-engine, the ex cavation of the basin will proceed rapidly. The laudable and patriotic spirit in which this undertaking has been car ried on by the Corporation will be most beneficial to the city of Exeter and surrounding districts,, and will entitle them to the lasting gratitude of the community. On the evening of Friday, when the opening of the sea-gates will afford an uninterrupted access to the ocean, the Navigation Committee, with a party of select friends, will dine at Street's Royal Hotel. The _Despatch, Captain Barrett, with a cargo of wine from Charente, will have the honour of first entering the canal.--Exeter Gazette. A MAD Ass.—A few days ago, Mr. Wil liam Rapier, of Birkby, his wife and brother, were &flocked uear IludderstlelZt which seined the back part of the lady's dress in his mouth: he was instantly knocked down by Mr. Rayner, with a large stone, who repeated his blows, aided by his brother, till the ass appeared to be dying. They then dragged him down a steep bank, and left him in strong convulsions. They bad not proceeded far, hoWever, when the ass was again on his legs, and in pursuit of the party, who, to save themselves, leaped over a wall, which they had scarcely done when he arrived, and attempted to scale the wall, but was knocked down by a stone, and soon after expired. Since his death it has been ascertained that be had been bitten by a dog in several parts of his body, and is supposed to have become rabid under the canine infes tion.— York Herald. Three blackguards yesterday attempted to separate a bullock from a drove, for the purpose of driving the animal through Whitechapel, but they were taken into custody, and conveyed before the Magistrates at Lambeth street Office, who fined them 20s. each. At Lambeth-street Police-office, yesterday, twenty-three of the lower order of Irish, both male and female, were charged with violently assaulting and beating four watchmen, stationed in the neighbourhood of Rose mary-lane. It appeared that the assailants having an old grudge against the watchmen, decoyed them into a narrow alley, by shouting "Murder," and then laid on them with pokers, broom handles, and missiles of every description. They were ordered to find good bail for their appearance at the Sessions. CEMENT TO RESIST FIRE AND WATER.— Take half a pint of milk, and mix with an equal quantity of vinegar, so as to coagulate the milk ; separate the curds from the whey, and mix the latter with the whites of four or five eggs, after beating them well up ; the mixture of these two substances being complete, add sifted quick lime, and make the whole into the consistency of putty. If this be applied carefully (and properly dried) to broken bodies or fissures of any kind, it resists fire and water.—Mechanics' Magazine. CURE FOR TILE 1 ooTif-AcHE.—At a re cent meeting of the London Medical Society, Dr. Blake stated that the extraction or excision of teeth was unnecessary. He was enabled, he said, to cure the most desperate cases of tooth ache, unless the disease was connected with r rl e t m et e un dy at t is o m th , ebydist diseased sed applicationtooth _of f ollowing he Alum, reduced to an impalpable powder, 2 drachms; nitrous spirits of (ether, 7 drachms ; and mix and apply them to the tooth." ARABIAN NOTIONS OF THE ENGLISH.— Soon after our arrival at Muscat we were visited by men of all nations and colours. I was prin.: cipally attracted by the appearance and manners of some Arabs from the interior, who were brought on board by their countrymen to see an English ship of war. Their figures were light and elastic, their countenances expressed quick ness and energy. The most remarkable of their features were their dark rolling eyes, which per haps struck me more from their wandering rapidly from one object to another, glistening with won der at all they saw. A good telescope happened to be placed so as to give a complete view of one of the farthest fortifications. I called an Arab to look through it, and lie did so for about a minute, then gazed with the most eager atten tion at me, and, without saying a word, dashed over the ship's side. When the bo a t h e was i n got to a little distance, he exclaimed, " You are magicians, and I now see how vou take towns ; that thing, (pointing to the telescope), be they ever so far off, brings them as near as you like.
