Public revenues to farm, and it ought therefore to form sufficient objection to any system of taxa tim, that its proceeds cannot be collected with out the intervention of a revenue farmer. This i s Precisely the case with Cie post-horse duty, and which, besides, being blest with the endeavours of these mongrelrevenne officers,has also a machinery admirably adapted to every species of vexatious and irritating interference, and deserves the serious causideration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, We do not ask for a repeal of the duty, we mere ly seek to be relieved from a train of minor " i ls) amd therefore only require a remodelling of t he whole collection, which, rais • besides being thus chievous in its effects, is not sufficient to pre- Vent numberless daily frauds upon the duty.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE. PITT CLUB.--The anniversary of this Club was holden on Friday, at the Bell Inn, in Gloucester.

Vice-President. TRALEE, AUG. 2.—Sir Walter Scott is expected through this place, on his road to the Lakes of Killarney, to-morrow. KING GEORGE TIM SECOND.—HIS MAJESTY, after dinner, generally made it a rule to visit the Countess of YARMOUTH. In passing through the apartments one evening, attended only by a single Page, a small canvas bag with guineas dropped on the ground, and one of them rolled into a closet where wood was generally kept. After the Page had picked up the money, the KING found that one guinea was wanting, and conclud ing where it went, said to the Page, " Come, we must find this guinea —help me to throw out the wood." The Page fell to work, and with some diffiCulty found the guinea.—" Well," said 'the KING, " you have laboured hard for the guinea, so' take it, but I would not have any thing lost." —This pecuniary habit marked his MAJESTY'S COOdOEt through life. A Wag com7lains that the " Living Skeleton" should have taken up his quarters in St. James's —he ought to have gone to Mary-le-bone. DRAMATIC.—N new Opera is forthcoming at the English Opera House, of which report speaks in the highest terms, both of the music and the dramatic construction. Mr. BRAHAM, of course, is to be the hero of the Pince, and Mr. IliwEs, whose superintendance of . Der Freiscluitz was so effectual, is, it seems, to take an active part on the ensuing occasion. SANDFO 11. D ClLEEK.—Sandford Creek, near the residence of Lady CREMORNE, at Chelsea, is now the object of speculation. Lord KENSINGTON and Lord H OLLAND to Kensington. fhe ex cavat i on has been going have undertaken t 9 widen the Channel, and ma k e i t navigable on n r barges some up time, and the work advan ces very fast. The old bridge which went over this Creek in the Ki ng ' s pr i vate road, has been taken down , and a new one is buildi ng . T he abut ments w t3 i a ll no rea t l o re f a c d o y u m rse ad b e e open totileiridge is compl ete, t h e road carriages. Passengers find a way over the Creek by going over planks laid for th e p urpose. Those who adventure upon this . fragile pass, are exposed to some danger. Considerable capital applied to the undertak ing, which affords encouragement to industry, and when b roug h t to maturity, will prove a public benefit. P 0 E It Y. FOR THE SUN. Mr. EDiTon—The followirig is an extract from an unpub fished, in fact; unfinished POem, in my possession :- - She ceas'd and straightway to obey command, • STRIFE, wing'd her flight and hover'd o'er the land, By myriads of trifles high upborne - There rests, until Aurora gilds the morn— , Then swift descends, alas ! and puts to flight • The visionary pleaSures of the night. Thou harbinger of innocence and peace, Domestic Greatness ! pleasure, comfort ease, To man, Creation's noblest work, thou giv'st, Beware ! no Goddess thou, thou only liv'st Where virtue dwells ; where each on each bestow Equal benevolence with equal•glow ; Where discontent ne'er reigns, or jealousy With weary, yet with ever.watchful eye; Where each from paths of innocence ne'er stray'd, Or study'd, but to please by virtue's aid., Under the star-bespingl'd firmament, No purer joys than yielded by content ; Under the azure sun-illurnin'd sky, No greater happinesS.than unity. Thrice happy state ! a family to see In the glad cords of unanimity, With free-will hound, and with their happy lot Well-pleas'd—all sublunary griefs forgot. Could fleav'n's blest habitants pale envy feel, • And !gainst celestial joys their bosoms steel, Here, for malignity, were ample space, To view mere mortals guilelessly embrace -0 thou ; Dothestic Peace! friend to mankind, Soother of woe, balm of the wounded mind, Beware ! throughout the earth a spirit roams, Malicious STitiFE ! with grief and folly comes. Strife feeds dire passions, and corrodes the heart, . O'er life's meandring path, oft shoots athwart,.. Not with Sols' warmth, or Luna's modest beam, But with a raging meteor's lurid gleam. The friend's delight, the lover's soft breath'd pray'r, The mother's fond solicitude and care, The parnt's exultation to behold The virtues which their beauties mild unfold, In blooming cherubs, innocent and g ay, Pleasing and ple as 'd, un k now i ng to betray ; \Vhare'er on earth, domestic life can bless The mutual confidence, the .soft caress, Love's purest pleasures, and the fondest ties, STRIFE, interposing, breaks,—soon men despise That which they valued once they now detest, And follow Strife, still hoping to be blest'! Thus man, full oft, for want of thought and skill, Rejects the good, pursues the glitt'ring ill. Whose fault is that ? thine own, 0 foolish Man ! I'or though life's circunrscrib'd and but a span, Thy thoughts, thy actions, and thy speech are free, On these depend thy weal or misery.— Ramsgate, July, 1325. P. V. K. THE TH EATR E. HAT MA ME ET.—T he Comedy of two acts, for it deserves a higher designation than that of farce, The Tredding.Day, was the chief attrac tion this Theatre last night. The part of Sir Adam Contest was very well represented by, Mr. W. Etaitcst. The inconsistency of the character, in sometimes giving way to impetuous reproof, and immediately after falling into affectionate dotage, mingled with lamentations for his sup posed departed wife, were indeed admirably sup ported. Madame V ESTRIS appeared for the first time as Lady Contest. This character was one of the triumphs of the late Mrs. JORDAN, an actress as wiginal in merit as any within our re membrance. Those who have not seen the Lady Contest of that great comic actress had every reason to be satisfied with that of Madame V ES TRIS. It was marked by playfulness, spirit, archness, and humour. For such characters in middle life the talents of this actress are admirably adapted, though . certainly not e qually successful in the refinement-of the higher come dy. , Indeed it can hardly be expected that those who are capable of expressing broad hu mour can be supposed to possess the polished habits of the higher order. . The reluctance of the, bride to be allied to age , arid irritabili y, her tender credulity under the courtship of Lord Rakeland, her eager joy in finding that the first wife was living, and her grateful caresses of that wife for corning to life, were coloured 'with the genuine hue of feeling, and well me rited the applause which they received.— Tere was some delay in expectation of the Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, who, however, it appeared, were in a private box, but did not fail, to receive a tribute of respect, from the audi ence. There was some interruption,. arising from the loud gossiping of a party in one of the dress boxes ; but JOHN Bum, expressed his displeasure, and produced the effect of silent submission. We regret .to say, that this is a grievance which marks the conduct of fashionable parties almost every night, to the annoyance of every neighbour ing box, and we hope that it will always experi ence a similar testimony et' public disgust. The house had a numerous, and . , in a great measure, an elegant audience.' ST. JAMES'S PA r.K.-Three large hut very old trees were blown down in the Bird-cage walk of St. James's Park during the high wind on Thurs day night and Friday morning ; and one tree within the fencing inclosing the grass plat, and near to the canal. The trees, however, were so rotten, that the boys are now daily busily engaged in cutting the shattered trunks for pieces of " tonciwood." Within the last few years many of theArees in S►t. James's Park, forming the tine old and memorable malls and shady walks, have, from age, fallen victims to boisterous winds, amid it is to be regretted that with the exception of the space -near Storey's Gate, , by Geo rge-street, and facing Westminster Bridge, adequate efforts have not been made to continu e the lines of trees, and of course the shady walks, by the plantation of young trees in the places of those that have been violently blown to the earth, or torn from their roots. Facing the Barracks in the Birdcage walk, in particular, this negligence is observable. Scarcely a tree is left there for •a considerable distance, to shade the promenaders from the' su n 's rayt. There is a complete interruption of the walks or groves originally formed by four lines of trees. It is to be hoped that the approaching. autumn, the general tim e for transplanting young trees, may see this defect remedied. The beau ties of the. Park, as well as the peculiar com forts of promenading, are alike interested in be holding the plantation of young trees to supply the stations of those that have been removed by storms or age. Ye3terday morning the remains of the late Duchess of DORSET were removed f rom h er h ouse in Grosvenor-square for interment. The OLo BAILEY COURT is undergoing a thormigh repair, previous to the eusuiog Session._ SPORTING INTELLIG ENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING.—(FIRST DAY, MormaY.) The above great Races commenced this .day, and with every prospect of affording greater sport than was anticipated. For some time past the extreme heat of the weather excited appre hensions that the course would be too dry and parched up lbr the sport, and this occasioned a determination on the part of many gentlemen not to run their horses. This unfavourable impression remained in full force till the middle of last week, when not above six or eight horse?; had arrived, but the rain which fell ; afterwards, completely changed not only the condi tion of the ground, but the resolutions of the owners of the horses named, for before Sunday, upwards or sixty horses had arrived, and the promises which the entries held out of fine sport, looked fair to be realized. Oa Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and up to thepresent mo= ment, arrivals have been continually taking place, and the city is filled to an overflow; every house capable of being turned into a lodging-house is full, the inns hafting been occupied by the early arrivals; those who have yet to come, will have but a sorry chance of accommodation. On Sunday there was a great assemblage of the highest sporting characters on the course, to witness the horses take their exercise, and some betting on the different stakes for which they are to contend ensued ; but on the Doncaster St. Leger little was done, for the knowing ones are lying by, till such of the fa vouritea for that great stakes that are to come out here have been tried. On Sunday evening and Monday morning, how ever, some brisk betting took place, and Cleveland fluctuatO considerably : at first they would take 11 and 12 to 1 against him, but he afterwards went back to 16 to 1 ; still lie was backed against Altisidora at 6 to 5, at which odds, it will be re collected, the mare was the favourite last week at Tattersall's. The rain which fell this morning till about one o'clock, pre vented a very numerous attendance of Ladies, hut the assem blage of sporting characters of every class, and from every part of the country, was very great, particularly of Noblemen and Gentlemen, in honour of whose arrivals the bells of York ster have been ringing merry peals throughout the day.

The Fives Court yesterday was most respectably and nume rously attended, the benefit being for that old veteran of the ring, Tom Jones. The sets-to were all of the first order, and the fancy mustered strong on the occasion. They were as fol lows: Carter and Jones opened with a ruffianly set-to. Goodman and Inglis made an excellent set-to. Goodman had decidedly the best of it, owing to his superior weight. O'Neil and Holt.—This was also a good bout. It was a com plete master-piece of science. O'Neil had rather the best of it. Baldwin and Ward—This set-to excited the greatest interest. —Ward on mounting the stage was loudly cheered. Baldwin had none the worst of it he is improving very fast. Scroggins and Davies made a kind of harlequinade, and Scroggins after two rounds bolted from the stage, .declaring he, was too old for work. • Young Josh and Dutch Sam closed the sports of the day by a grand bout. It was hit for hit till both were beat to a dead stand still. Sam had rather the best of it. Jones then mounted the stage and returned thanks, and the company departed satis fied with the day's play. CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 10. The arrivals of all sorts of English Grain this week are very small ; there are, 'however, several more cargoes of Irish Oats fresh up. Fine Wheat is held firmly at Monday's prices, but very little is doing in this trade. Barley remains much as last reported. Beans and Pease remain much as last quoted. Oats find buyers readily, if good, but other qualities are dull. In Flour no alteration. A muvaLs.—English Wheat, I,3oo—Barley, 50—Oats, 2,4oo—lrishpats, 7,000 quarters--Flour, 1,100 sacks.

KINGSTON (JAMAICA), JUNE 11.—We have learnt with considerable regret, that the ship Oceab, Furlong, of Brist4l, which went out of the Old Harbour on Monday last, fully laden, went on Morris's Reef. where she was lying when the Rambler left 'Old Harbour. The schooner West Indian and sloop Adventure, with several boats from the shipping, were alongside of her, to endeavour to save the cargo. It is ti x ascertained that she has 14 feet water in her hold, and that only about 80 or 90 casks of her upper tier of cargo cart be saved ; and even that depends on the state of the weather, which has been very boisterous for some time past. Aux CAPES, JUNE 6.—The fine brig Clarement, Gan_ den, from London, bound to Port-31orant, in ballast, struck on La Folle (Fool's Rock), at one a. m. on the 28th of April, and became a total wreck. A small part of the vessel's mate rials was saved by the captain and crew, and brought hither on the 29th, as they were obliged to abandon the vessel, in conse quence of the natives threatened longer by the wreck.—The smack Sons of Commerce, Gibbs, sailed f rom Jacinel on the 15th ult., bound to London, with a cargo of coffee in hags, and at two a.m. on the 17th ult. struck on La Folle, and the following day became a complete wreck. Every assistance was rendered her from this place, and about 470 bags of coffee, and the greater part of the vessel's materials were saved from the wreck, all of which were brought hither and sold for account of those concerned. GIGANTIC ORGANIC REMAINS. (From an American Paper.) We lately mentioned that the bones of a non descript animal of an' immense size, arid .larger than any bones that have hitherto been noticed by naturalists, had been discovered about 20 miles from New Orleans, in the alluvial ground formed by the Mississippi river, and the lakes, and but a short distance from the sea. It now appears that these gigantic remains had been disinterred by a Mr. W. Schofield, of New Or leans, who spent about a year in this arduous undertaking. • A fragment of a cranium is stated to measure 22 feet in length; in its broadest part 4 feet high, and perhaps 9 inches thick, and it is said to weigh 12001 b. The largest extremity of this bone is thought evidently to answer to the }lonian, scapula ; it tapers off to a point, and retain s a flatness to the termination. From these facts it is inferred that this bone constituted a fin, or fen der. One of its edges, from alternate exposures to the tide and atmosphere, has become sponey or porous, but generally it is in a perfect state of ossi fication. A large groove or canal presents its e lf i n the superior portion of this bone, upon the sides .of which considerable quantities of ambergris may be collected, which appears to have suffered little or no decomposition or change 'by age. i t burns with a beautiful bright flame, and emits an odoriferous smell while burning; it is of a greasy consistence, similar to adipocere. It is evident that there was a corresponding fin, or fender.- r -- The animal, therefore, must have been 50 feet in breadth from one extremity of a fig, to the other, allowing for wear and tear, as well as a dispro portionate width of the back to the length of the fins. There are several of the dorsal vertebrae, and one of the lumbar, arid a bone answering to the cocygis in our anatomy. The vertebra are sound, and corresponding in size to the largest bone ; the protuberanc e s o f th e vertebra,are three feet in extent ; they lead to the supposition that the animal had considerable protuberances on the back.; the body of each vertebrae is at least 20 inches diameter, and as many in length, the tube or • calibre for containing the spinal marrow is 6 hichea in diameter ; some of the arterial and nervous indentations, or courses, are very visible. There is a bone similar to our as calris, one foot in length, and eight inches in diameter. • The New' Orleans people are much puzzled, as well they may be, to ascertain the class of animals to which 'these extraordinary bones belong. From the circumstance of ambergris having beers found on the interior surface of the largest bone, it is supposed they are of marine origin ; and the Editor of the New Orleans Gazette, who examined • them, says, that this examination has 'convinced him of the truth of the. extraordinary relations given by Kircher, of the Kniken and Norway sea-snake, ; and, judging from the Bp perirance of the - portion qf, the cranium which he had seen, he conchides, that if this.mOn ster was of the balance species, its length could not he less than 250 , feet. It is stated, that from the place. whence these remains were disinterred, a large carriivorous tooth was found, and had been carried away. It is ail stated, that in the year 1799, many remains of anti-di luvian creation were taken up near the same place, and shipped to Europe. Mr. Schofield feels the most perfect conviction that he could iet a slight expense collect many more.. He field been hithertb prevented by the high state of die water from obtaining the whole; but there Was reason to hope that the skeleton might be c4lll - disinterred.
