One day, in private conversation with the Doctor, she was relating, in the most pathetic manlier, the persecution which she had suffered in England. She suddenly looked at her watch, and as suddenly called out, in a very different tone, " Old clothes, matches, apples," &c. &c. The Doctor wait thunderstruck, and thought she had suddenly been seized with insanity. Ina few minutes she explained the cause with sang froid, telling him there was a parrot behind the cur tain which she was teaching the cries of London just at that hour, and then resumed her former narrative in the same plaintive manner. Dn. JOHNSON.--To a person who regretted to the celebrated Dr. SAMUEL JOHNSON that he had not been a clergyman, because lie considered the life oi a clergyman an easy and comfortable one, the Doctor made this reply:—" The life of a conscientious Clergyman is not easy. I have always considered a Clergyman as the father of a larger family than he is able to maintain. No, Sir 1 do not envy a Clergyman's life as an easy life ; nor do I envy the Clergyman who makes it an easy life." FEASTII:G OF THE SERGEANTS.—In 153.1 a grand entertainment was given at Ely House, Holborn, for five successive days, by eleven gentlemen of the law, on assuming the dignity of the Serjeants coif. Their guests were the King and Queen, the Foreign Ministers, the Chief Officers of State, and Dignitaries of the Law, the Magistracy of London, acid principal Citizens, Knights, Squires, &c. From an account of the provisions consumed at this feast, it appears that large oxen were then sold sold at 11. Os. Bd. each; a calf at 4s. Bd.; a sheep at 2s. ad.; a hog at 3s. lid.; a pig at 6d.; a dozen of Kentish ca pons at Is.; a dozen of h ea th coc k s a t Bd.; the best pullets at 20.; pigeons at 10d. per dozen, and larks at 'sd. per dozen. CATS.--The following extraordinary anecdote of the sensibility of cats to approaching danger, from earth quakes, is well authenticated. In the year 1783, two cats, be longing to a merchant of Messina, in Sicily, announced to him the approach of an earthquake. Before the first shock was felt, these two animals seemed anxiously to work their way through the floor of the room in which they were. Their master observ ing their fruitless efforts, opened the door for them. At a second and third door, which they likewise found shut; they repeated their efforts, and on being set completely at liberty, they ran straight through the street, and out of the gate of the town.— The merchant, whose curiosity was excited by this strange con-1 ' duct of the cats, followed them into the fields, where he again saw them scratching and burrowing in the earth. Soon after there was a violent shock of an earthquake, and many of the houses in the city fell down, o f w hi c h number the merchant's was one, so that he was indebted for his life to the singular fore bodings of his cats. A GREAT Sntr.—The Americans are not the first Archi tects who have constructed ships of an unweildly size. So early as the year 1538, a ship of 2000 tons burthen was built at Havre-de-Grace. The cables were of the thickness of a mid dling sized man's leg. It had a tenniscourt and windmill on board ; it was called Le Grand Francoise, and was designed for the East Indies ; but such was the trouble and labour of getting it to the end of the pier, that it was ordered to be hauled up the harbour again, and then pulled to pieces. Its materials were applied to the building of a great many houses. Sir HENRY WATKINS WILLIAM WYNN, brother ' of the Right Hon. Charles Wynn, of the Board of Controul, appointed our new Ambassador to Denmark, Leaves London this day for the purpose of embarking to proceed on his mission. This Gentleman attenecd his Majesty's Court at Windsor on Friday last, at which time we are informed- he was Knighted ; he was, also, on such occasions, sworn-in of the Privy Council ; he then received his final orders, and took leave of his Majesty. Sir H. W. \V. Wynn's luggage, together with three carriages, &c., were yesterday forwarded to the Custom-House quay, to be put on board the vessel appointed to carry the Ambassador and his family to Copenhagen. This day, Sir H. W. W. Wynn, together with his Lady and children, five in number, and at tendants, will leave the Duke of Buckingham's residence in Pall-mall, where they have been staying, to proceed down the river to embark. Sir H. W. \V. Wynn's last mission was to Switzerland ; the objects of his present embassy are said to have formed part of the consideration of the recent Cabinet Councils. —( Morning Herald.) THE RAT. JOHN ANTHONY PERNEY, D. D.— This Gentleman died on the 29th ult. in Down sti•eet, Piccadilly. He had long been Domestic Chaplain to the Earl of COVENTRY, and was much esteemed by that Nobleman and his family. Dr. PERNEY was many years Curate of St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate and was universally esteemed by the parishioners, but a new Rector, though dis posed to continue him in the Curacy from respect to his learning, and for the esti•:iation in which he was held by the inhabitants, was so rigid a disciplin arian, and such a contrast to the mild suavity of his predecessor, that Doctor, then Mr., PuitNcy, found it impossible to bear the restrictions im posed upon him. He consequently resigned himself wholly to his patron and friend the Earl of Co- VENTRY, by whom he was nominated to theßectory of Hill Crome, Worcestershire. The restraint therefore which induced him to resign his curacy, led to the happiest days of his life, as he became domesticated with the Coventry family, and en joyed the society of all the noble and distin guished characters who visited the Earl's man sion in Piccadilly, and his Lordship's beautiful seat in Worcestershire. Dr. PERN EY had reached the 67th year of his age. A few years ago he suffered under a paralytic affection, from which he never entirely recovered, in mind or body ; but he retained his good humour, and enjoyed society almost to the last, though he seldom mingled in the career of conversation. Before this - shock he possessed good spirits, was capable of lively sallies,and was instructive in conversation. His memory will be respected by all who knew him, but particularly by his noble Patron and family. JOHN C ROS DILL, Esg.—We yesterday an nounced, with sincere regret, the death of this gentleman. He was well known to his present MAJESTY, and to most of the distinguished Noble men in this country, particularly to the Directors of the Concerts of Ancient Music. As a performer on the violoncello he was allowed by the best judges to be without a competitor. His execu tion was surprising, and, in pathetic passages, every tone went to the heart. In private life he was in the highest degree friendly and sociable, and, though characterized by indefatigable gaiety and easy frankness, among his intimate associates, he never departed from the respect due to his su periors. He was a zealous patron of contempo rary talents, and evinced the liberality of his dis. position by shewing particular attention to those who practised his own instrument. Ile had long relinquished his profession in public, but his do mestic concerts were admirable, and had the full support of his exquisite taste and skill, and they were generally followed by an elegant feast at his hospitable table. Nature never bestowed more genius, in his art, more good humour, and a more benevolent heart, than to the subject of this sincere tribute to his talents, character, and memory. THE KING, &c. WINDSOR, OCT. 6.—At three o'clock yesterday afternoon, his MAJESTY, accompanied by his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, left the Royal Lodge in the pony phaeton, followed by his other visitors, anti suite, and continued driving about the Park for nearly three hours. Ilis Majesty in the evening gave another splendid entertainment to his guests, which received an addition from the presence of Lord and Lady i%laryborough. The private band of his Majesty occupied the conservatory, and continued playing until a late hour. After the repast his Grace the Duke of W e llington took leave of hi s Majesty, and de parted from the Royal Lodge this morning at six Yesterday forenoon Sir C. Long left the Royal Lodge . for London. DEPARTURES FROM TOWN, &c. Lord King, for his seat, Ockham, Surrey ; the Earl of Sef. ton, from his seat, Croxteth .

Drum-, Oc•r. s.—Our Musical Festival commenced on Tuesday. The Church Service began a few minutes after eleven, with a most appropriate Chorus, " Hosanna to the Son of David," which was admirably sung. Miss Stephens sang " rious Orgies" in a very chaste and beautiful manner, and she was sweetly accompanied by Mr. Greatorex on the organ. The Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry preached the sermon, which was listened to with fixed attention. After the ser . mon, Miss Stephens and Miss Travis sang Handel's duet, " 0 never, never, bow we down," in a very spirited style and the chorus was full, complete, and exact. The contributions of the congregation were received at the doors by Earl Howe and Lady Scarsdale; the Rev. C. S. Hope (Mayor), and Lady Vernon; Sir Charles Hastings (High Sheriff), and the Hon. Mrs. Beaumont ; the Hon. Captain Curzon, and the Hon. Mrs. Eden. The collection amounted to 214/. 13s. The Concert commenced in the evening, and . went off admi rably. The Italian pieces .were executed with great skill and spirit, and the power and grace of Madame Caradori appeared in every part she sustained. Miss Stephens, in the song " 1.0, here the gentle lark," was accompanied beautifully by Nichol son. Signor De Begnis gratified the audience exceedingly by his song from II ilarbiere di Siviglia. Locke's music in Mac beth appeared to great advantage, the principal vocal parts being sustained by Miss Travis and Messrs. Bellamy and Vaughan. The performances on Wednesday consisted of a grand Selection of Sacred Music. CHELTENHAM, ,OCT. s.—The Promenade at the Mont pellier Puinp-room and Walks was very numerously attended last night. Among the Nobility present were the Earl and Countess of Clare, Lady Fitzgibbon, Lady Rendlesham, &c. Lord Kenyon arrived here last night, drank the water this morning, at the King's Old and afterwards joined the morning promenades. Lord and Lady Riversdale and Lady Willoughby and family are amongst the most recent arrivals in the Crescent. At an early hour yesterday morning the Right Hon. W. and. Mrs. Huskisson left their residence, Somerset-place, to pro ceed by Dover, Calais, &c. to Paris, where, it is expected, the Right Hon. Gentleman will remain some time. On Sunday last the Duke of Gloucester visited the town of Poole, and attended Divine Service at the Church there : after which he was entertained by the Mayor and Corporation with an elegant collation at the Town-hall, and was addressed in an eloquent speech by the Recorder. Her Serene Highness the Duchess-Dowager of Saxe Coburg and her family arrived at Brussels on the 2d inst. Extensive preparations arc making in the internal arrange. ments of the Palace, in anticipation of the arrival of his Ma jesty. The kitchens and gas-apparatus have also been ex amined, and undergone repairs and alterations with that view.— (Brighton Gazette.) The Archbishop of Canterbury and his amiable family are expected at Lambeth Palace this day, from Dover. We are happy to say that the report of his Grace being in a bad state of health is unfounded. The Hon. Agar and Lady Georgiana Ellis have arrived at the Duke of Beaufort's seat, Worcester Lodge, Gloucester shire, from a tour. Lord Lyndoch has arrived at his sect in Suffolk, from a tour. We are happy to learn that the health of 31r. Wilkie, the painter, is much better than tied been reported. He left Geneva about three weeks ago for Rome, where he was to winter. At the time of his departure from the former place he was in better health than he had been in for the last six months. The Court of Assistants of the Worshipful Company of Needlemakers, were yesterday sumptuously entertained by Mr. Kay, at the Albion. It was the day for the election of Master and Wardens for the ensuing year. After the cere mony, the conviviality of the company was sustained by the representative of the new Master with great hilarity until a late hour. ,PEERAGE o 7 IRELAND. — S ince the extinction of the three Peerages which enabled the Crown to cause the promotion of Lord Bloomfield to the dignity of a Baron of Ire land, four more Peerages have become extinct. The claims of the church, army, and law, have been heretofore attended to, in the promotion of an Archbishop, two Generals, and a Chief Justice. The navy, it is expected, on the present occasion, will bear away the palm. The last four Peerages extinct are, Hanger, L9rd Colerain ; Eardelev, Lord Eardeley ; and New comen, Viscount Newcomers, in 1824; and Whitworth, Lord Whitworth, (Earl of Whitworth in England), in 1825. The entire number of Irish Peerages extinct since the Union is twenty.eight, which exceeds the ratio of one annually. The following gallant officers have been mentioned as candidates for the Peerage now vacant :—Sir Henry Blackwood, Knight, Rear-Admiral of the Red ; Sir John Poer Beresford, Bart., Rear-Admiral of the Red ; and Sir James Hawkins Whitshed, KOJI., Admiral of the Red. The papers of the Vicar of the Church of St. Nicholas, at Ghent, have been put under seal. M. De Muynck not having Obeyed a summons issued out aga i nst hi m , the King's Attorney- General and one of the Judges went to his house and sealed up his papers, because he did not appear in Court as called upon. -- (Brussels Paper, Oct. 4.) The Courier of the Meuse announces that the establishments of the brethren of the Christian schools have been suppressed in the province of Namur ; it has not yet learnt any thing respect ing the establishments under the direction of the brethren in Liege. The remains of Madame JOSEPH BUONAPARTE, which have lain for eleven years in a vault in the church of Rue!, were transferred on Tuesday to the tomb which has been raised to her memory by her children, in one of the lateral chapels. It is of very large dimensions, and made cptirOy o f white marble. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

With the assistance of a bird about the size of a common quail, called To. chileus, who is said to feed by picking something from the teeth of the Crocodile, while he sleeps with his mouth open, the Ichneumon often de stroys these his mortal enemies, by slily and with amazing swiftness passing down their throats, and with its sharp long teeth gnawing forcibly a passage through the belly, thence escaping with the triumph of a sure destruction of his victim. This antipathy was curiously exemplified, a few days since, in the Menagerie at the Tower, The Ichneumon, brought by Major DeszitAm, from the neighbourhood of the Sharp River, in central Africa, on two small A ligators being placed in the room where it was kept, broke through the cage and killed one of them, the largest, with surprising rapidity, and it was with great diffi culty the remaining one was removed in time to preserve it from the fury of its diminutive foe. We are sorry to state, that on Tuesday last an explosion took place in the workings in Heb burn Colliery, Durham, by which sad accident three poor men and a boy lost their lives. A fine brass coin of CoziMonus (assassinated A. D. 192) was on Wednesday last found in sinking a drain, behind the premises oc cupied by Mr. BAGNALL, surgeon, in Foregate street. It is about the size of an Irish penny, but rather thicker. On the obverse is a well executed head of that miserable ruler ; on the reverse a figure of Plenty, holding an erect cor nucopite in the left hand. It is in good preser vation, and in the possession of Mr. Kearsley, of the Nag's Head Inn. Yesterday, in nearly the same.situation, was found a copper coin of Con stantine, the head in tolerable preservation.— (Chester Chronicle.)

The harvest being now concluded, we beg to lay before our readers the result of such observations and in•, quiries as may furnish a tolerably correct idea of the produce of the present season, reserving ourselves to a future numbsr, for the expression of our opinion on the events of the most mon mentous importance to the country. WIIEAT.—The weather during the progress of the harvest ,` has been, upon the whole, equal to the best wishes of the farmer, and the grain, taken generally, is well harvested. Wheat—the most important of the different descriptionie of pulse—is, without doubt, a full average crop, in gnarl-. tity, throughout the three kingdoms. In the home counties, however, the quality of this grain has suffered in com parison with that of last year ; in this particular the millers have been disappointed in their expectations. Much, indeed,, the larger proportion comes to market in a very cold and damp state, from being, in our opinion, hurried too quickly out u! the fields, or perhaps cut prematurely. We have not seen any new wheat from Scotland, but our accounts from that country represent the quality as unusually fine. The new, already exported from Ireland, of which we have seen several parcels, is not so good as we anticipated; the samples, like many , of our oan growth, being cold and damp—but our correspondent there leads us to expect better things presently. In quantity, as we have already stated, we think the present year may fairly equal the last ; in quality, we think it decidedly inferior, and we should not hazard too much in saying, that the ave. rage weight of the whole growth of the three kingdoms will be found full 21b. per bushel lighter than that of last year. BARLEY.—Barley, notwithstanding the gloomy forebodings excited by its appearance on the ground, will yet turn out better than was expected. It is represented to be a lair crop both 'iti Scotland and Ireland. The quality, however, even from the - same districts, varies considerably. We have seen three samples, all grown within the circuit of two miles, which have varied in value, one with the other, full ss. per qr. 'Whether the produce' of this grain will' be enough for our consumption, is a problem yet to be solved—for ourselves, We freely corifi:Fs, we think.not. OATS.—This article is not a good crop in England, either in quantity or in weight. In Scotland it is a fair average growth ; and the same may he said of Ireland, or, perhaps, something over an average in quantity, but in weight consider ably lighter than last year. The growth of the three kingdoms' will, we are inclined to think, be found sufficient for their con, sumption ; bnt this must'particularly depend upon the result or the potato crop in Scotland and Ireland, the late rains may have been serviceable to this root, yet all the accounts we have hi-. therto received from those countries represent this crop as a de, cided failure. Beans arc universally a short growth—the quality of the new are, however, good. Peas are also a short growth ; but we think they will turn out to be more productive than beans.—(ffull Packet.) MELANCHOLY INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.— A most respectable Jury assembled on Wednesday, at the house of Mr. STEERS, the sign of the Crown, Ili uset.m.street,' Bloomsbury, to inquire how and by what means Mr. Row Lawn GasiE, a respectable tradesmen, came by his deatn.-111 r. Young Vance, surgeon, of Great Russell-street, stated, that he was called in on Saturday evening, to attend the deceased, whom he found in a dying state. In fact, so strongly marked vr.re the symptoms of death on him, that he desired his a:,sistant not to leave the room. Witness opened the jugular vein and an artery in the arm, but, though he bled freely, his dissolution was evi dently fast approaching, and, in fact, he died within half an hour. He had no doubt that the deceased died from apoplexy.—Mr. Charles George Ireland, the regular medical attendant on the family, said that he also had attended the deceased, but not until Mr. Vance had seen him, and rendered every aid that medical skill could adopt t.• save him. The witness also opened an artery, but at this time death had ma,;a such rapid progress over his frame, as to put aside all hopes of recovery.—Mrs. Mary Pickford, a resident in the house of the deceased, proved: being called down to render assistance, by the wife of the des ceased. Medical assistance was instantly sent for, and ae promptly afforded ; but though every thing possible was done, the deceased breathed his last in about half an hour after. The deceased had before been similarly affected on two occasions, but - had latterly been in apparent good health. His death was wholly unexpected by the withers. She had heard that lie had been cupped by Mr. Ireland, but that was some time previously. The deceased about 40 years of age.—The Coroner here sug gel d e d thict 'ihe Jury should view the body.—Several of the Jurors tioa they thought that unnecessary.—The Coroner said that they were bound to take a view of the body, as their oath expressed their verdict to be founded on a view of the body.— The Jury returned, and found a verdict of--" Died fiom a E t of apoplexy."—The father of the deceased had been attacked by a similar affection on the Saturday previous, but happily th t , same fatal issue was not the consequence,
