The abo minable trash they severally vend as the lawful and legitimate objects of their professed trades is well known, the ►nischiefs done by them remain in secret ; but" HE who seeth in secret shall reward them openly." The practice of adulterating every thing that is used by man for the support of his body is encreasing daily, and unless put a stop to, bids fair to depopulate the country by untimely and premature deaths occasioned by the noxious potions and poisonous food administered to us by the dealers in the first necessaries of life. But do not let the Butchers imagine they have no part in this reprobation,. they are too much in the habit of selling meat either originally unfit for sale, the animal having died of a disease, or having :subsequently become- tainted and It wholesome. Such men as these are equally odious with their brethren who adulterate their articles by improper mixtures, and many severe and politic laws are in existence for the punish ment of such crimes, which we should wish to see put in force with the greatest severity, in order to check a crime so extensively mischievous as that to which we allude. The cases lately brought before the different Police Offices have led us into these remarks—remarks which we think such a crime deserves, from the incalculable evils it occasions, and the extreme misery it inflicts upon the inhabitants of this vale of team The several statements of the departure from town of Captain CLAPPERTON, for the interior of Africa, have been incorrect. That intrepid traveller received his final instructions from the Secretary of State's office for the Colonies, on Thursday, and left town the same evening for Portsmouth, where he will directly embark on board the Brazen frigate, Captain WILLEs, for the Bight of Benin. In the hazardous journey of exploring his way to Sockatoo, he will be accom panied by Dir. DmicsoN, who proceeds in the capacity of sur geon and naturalist, and by Captain RonEnT PEAncE and Dr. 310antsox. On reaching the interior, the two latter offi cers proceed to the lake Tsad, and after inspecting its various coasts, will pursue an eastern coarse towards Abyssinia. From all information hitherto received, there is strong reason to sup pose that the Niger, or Joliba, falls into the sea somewhere in the vicinity of the Bight of Benin, and is not connected with the Nile, as hitherto has been conjectured. Sanguine hopes are entertained that Captain CLAPPERTON and his adven turous partners may reach Timbuctoo before Major LAING, whose departure took place about six months since, by the route of Tripoli. The present mission has the intention of opening a new channel for the extension of our commerce.— ( Times.) The Duke of WELLINGTON was to leave Paris on Thursday for Brussels. Mr. CONTINE, the lonian Messenger, arrived on Thursday evening at the Colonial Office, with dispatches from Lieut.-General Sir FREDERICK ADAM, K.C.8., at Ancona. The King of FttANCE, it is said, on St. Charles's Day intends to make several promotions in the Orders of St. Louis and the Legion of Honour. The army is to receive 500 Crosses. PARIS; AUG. 24.—The Academy of Inscrip. tions and Belles Letters have nominated \V►n. Humboldt, the brother of the traveller, and Creuzer, to the two places in the Academy, vacant by the death of Wolff, of Berlin, and Widford, of Calcutta. W. Humboldt is known by his Researches in the Sanscript Language; and M. Creozer has excited a great deal of in terest. in Germany, by his work on the Symbols of the Ancients. SUICIDES AND LOTTERIES.—The Courier Fran. cats says, speaking of the number of suicides committed in Paris' compared with the number committed in London, that whatever causes the wretchedness of the people, causes suicide. But why is this cause more powerful in Paris than in London, Vienna, or Berlin ? If it be so, is it not necessary that Paris should have 152 Lottery Offices, which raise from the lowest classes -of the people an annual sum of twenty-five millions ? Must the speculations on the Stock Exchange be curbed when they produce 19 millions yearly to the brokers ? It is not ne cessary that Paris pays 51 millions levied by order of a Council nominated by the Ministry, than to have only the half to pay if levied by a Council appointed by the inhabitants ? Can the gambling-houses be shut up when they yield 11 millions a year ?. These are good reasons then, for not altering the present state of things, and we must not think of such a trifle as one-eight of the population being reduced to poverty, and the number of suicides, without example in any foreign capital. DEATH OF TILE EARL OF MAR.—It is with re. gret that we this day announce the death of JonN FnAstcrs Earl of MAR, who so lately was restored to the ancient and illustrious peerage of his an cestors. This venerable Nobleman died suddenly at his house in Shand wick-place, on Saturday evening, in the 85th year of his age.. He is suc ceeded by his son John Thomas, Lord Erskine and Garioch, now Earl of Mar.—(Edinburgh Courant, Aug. 25.) HOLYWELL - STREET.----We have received many complaints against the Jew Inhabitants of this street, for their treatment of passengers. It is the constant practice, it seems, of the men to place their chairs on the pathway where they sit smoaking, and enjoy the Humour of saluting v women, as they pass, w i t h t h e fumes o f to ebaeicc'o, obliging them also to walk in the road, h owe ver dirty. If the passengers, male or fe male, remonstrate, they are taunted with insult. We have noticed this nuisance before, but with out effect, and hence we conclude that there - is no Street-Keeper for that place, or that he is grossly neglectful of his duty. Mrs. BTLZONI, we find, has been invited by some of the chief inhabitants of Bristol, under the promise of liberal patronage, to exhibit her Egyptian Antiquities in that city. This invita tion is very creditable to the people of Bristol, a place that is now characterized by taste in the Fine Arts, as well as by commercial importance. The township of Frampton, ten leagues from Quebec, has lately been visited by a great many bears, which have destroyed some cattle, and considerably lacerated others. c,---,..4t "jO.-.1-',l-4 4, fq\ll-,, t• GJ r , (4- r‘:_,'l,,,J .*:,v.••.,....c,,, ~,*; Ak 4 t,;(V , e- t ? .....,et g ~.. 7, „. 4 4-; _..,...,,., •; ( T . 0 .4..

She was met at x distance of some miles from the town by the majority of the respectable inhabitants, French and English, mounted on horseback. The public road was lined on either side, a a mile out of the town, by the poorer classes, who made their obeisance, and shouted the usual loyal viva: 14,n the occasion. The Duchess was in an open barouche, drawn by post horses, who were tied on to the vehicle by ropes—nothing better ! One or two. travelling carriages were all that followed, the whole being escorted by a party of Dragoons. The greater part of her Royal Highness's suite had arrived in the course of the day On entering the town, the Duchess was conveyed to the hotel prepared for her reception in the Grande Place, at a slow pace. preceded by military music. In the Grande Rue, and all the streets through whioh the royal procession passed, garlands of flowers, and ropes of ivy, tastefully interspersed with the poppy flower, were hung from window to window across the road. The effect, especially in the evening, when the whole town was illuminated, was very pretty and striking. By order of the authorities, out of every window waved a white flag. Iler Royal Highness will bathe this day, afterwards proceed to view the botanic garden at Courci, about nine miles distant. His Royal highness Prince William of Brunswick, accom panied by Baron Vanhouison, has arrived at the Royal Hotel, where his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick is expected in a few days. On Monday the illustrious strangers visited the Castle, and also drove to Holyrood House, but slid not go through its interior.—(Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle, ding. 24.) The Barons Rotschild have left town for Brighton, and are expected to return in a tew days. Viscount Dungannon has arrived at his seat, Brynkinalt, Denbighshire, from a tour. The circumstance will lie recollected, of a gentleman having some months back been robbed of four one thousand pounds Bank notes, while he was attending a Sale at the Auction Mart. Very active measures were immediately adopted for the purpose of detecting the thief ; notice was given, not only all over this country, but on the Continent also, of the robbery, and the number of the notes described, but all exertions were for a considerable time ineffectual : at ler►gth, however, one of the notes was traced to the possession of a person who had pre viously borne the character of a respectable tradesman in the city for many years, and who is now in custody. It appears that this person, in company with another, applied to a money-changer in Paris for cash for a thousand pound note, which he refused to do. In his absence, how ever, the parties went to his wife, and induced her to change the note ; on the husband's return, he learnt what had taken place, and being ex tremely indignant, he immediately sought out the parties, and threatened to apply to the police un• less the money was forthwith returned. This was done without loss of time. The party accused has been several times under examination before the Lord Mayor, and various rumours have transpired as to the probable result of the affair. The other three notes are said to be still in the hands of the thieves, who have not as yet had an opportunity to get rid of them. It is most sin cerely to be hoped that no negociation will be permitted to take place with reference to a transaction of this description. The Gentlemanl who lost the 4,0001. is a man of immense pro.' perty. POETRY. *AII ! THINK NOT TIME CAN SEVER. ;Air.`'• Dana ten (Mire extreme."

She sung it with taste, feel ing, and expression, and was highly and justly applauded. ANECDOTES, &c. THE GREAT EARL OF CHESTERFIELD.—The late Mr. JERNINGIIAM, whose poetical talents and personal worth were deservedly admired and esteemed, and who was intimate with this Nobleman, was told by his Lordship that on theevening of the day when it was reported that Mr. Pope was dead,he met Missßlount in a large company. The Earl made his way to her through the throng, and expressed much pleasure in seeing her there, as he infer red that the melancholy report of the day was not true. Having inquired what the report was, and hearing it, she turned away with indifference, observing, that "if the report had been true, she saw no reason why it should have kept her at home." This indifference to so great a man, to whose partiality she owed her chief distinction in society, prevented the Earl from ever after speaking to her again. OLIVER CROMWELL.—" The Protector," says Dr. HUGH CAMPBELL in his valuable edition of Ossian's Poems, " not withstanding his friendship for Milton, appears to have had but an indifferent ear for music, by the following ordinance of 1656 :-- 4 Any minstrel or (idler who shall be making music in any inn or tavern, or shall ask any one to hear his music, shall he punished as a sturdy beggar' Such," says the Doctor, " was the little-minded Tyrant," who might be very well qua lified to keep the country in subjection, but was wholly unfit to promote its improvement in the arts which embellish society.

MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISEMENT.—Some young men, who estimated well the force of vanity in their own sex, lately agreed on an experiment. They drew up an advertise ment, as from a lady possessing youth, beauty, good temper, and good fortune, and desirous to bestow them all, with her hand, on a deserving object. This was inserted in several Daily Papers, and brought not less than 50 answers. The next stela was to make them all sensible of their folly ; and with this view a second advertisement was inserted in the same Papers, stating that the answer of A. 13. (or C. X. or whatever other title the wooer chose) had been received, and in order to cure a personal interview he was desired to be at Drury-lane Theatre, in the boxes, on a certain night, in a certain dress, and at the end of the play to stand up and apply a quizzing glass to his right eye. At the time appointed the whole fifty were there: all started—all raised their quizzing glasses, but almost at the same moment each saw himself multiplied fifty-fold ; they be came sensible of the hoax, suddenly disappeared, and gave up at once their hopes of enjoying a beauty and a fortune. CHILD KILLED BY BEER.--A Mr. Heaps, a salesman of this town, has a small brewhouse in a retired part of Headingley, where he had some bricklayers employed on Saturday last. In a dwelling adjoining the above, a tanner, of ) the name of Richard Archer, who works in Mr. Shipley's lan yard at a short distance, resides, and had, until the circum stance we are about to relate, a family, consisting of a wife and two children. One of the latter is an infant ; the other, a fine boy about six years old, went into die brewhouse on Sa turday, while the bricklayers were there, and they having some beer to drink, gave the child about a pint of it. In the course of the evening the boy became unwell, and about twelve o'clock on Saturday night nis illness assumed the most alarm ing symptoms. Medical assistance was then obtained, but every effort to save his life proved in vain, and he expired on Sunday morning. The child was previously healthy, and his sudden death from no assignable cause but drinking a larger quantity of beer than certainly ought to have been given to him, naturally. excited great astonishment in the village, and a Coroner's Inquest was accordingly summoned on Monday, and the circumstances of the case minutely examined. Mr. Metcalfe, a surgeon, of this town, Mr. Al oxon, and two other medical gentlemen attended.—The body, which in the mean time had become much discoloured, was opened by Mr. Metcalfe, and the appearances carefully noted, after which several witnesses were examined by the Coroner's Jury. In the course of the inquiry, some of the evidence given by the professional gentlemen went to express a doubt that the child had been poisoned, but nothing positive could then be elicited as to the means which might have produced that result. The only thing which the deceased was known to have taken, was the beer, and without submitting it to a careful analysis, it was impossible to say whether or not it contained any deleterious ingredients. The Inquest, in consequence, was adjourned to yesterday, to give time for a careful decomposition of the liquor; but owing to the ab sence of one of the medical gentlemen from town, the further prosecution of the investigation was subsequently postponed to this day. Part of the brain, with the stomach, and some of the intestines, were removed by the surgeons, who also have had a small quantity of the beer, and of the sediment in the vessel where it stood, under examination. It is, indeed, but justice to Mr. Heaps to state, that he evinced not only the greatest trouble and anxiety at the fatal event, but also showed the sincerest desire to have the matter fully sifted, and the beer most scrupulously analyzed. The opinions of the nit dical persons, we understand, differ much as to the cause of the child's death ; one or two asserting that it may be ascribable to the agency of poison, without being able to say that any thing of that nature can be detected in the beer. The difficulty of ascertaining whether the liquid contained such an ingre dient is mentioned by others, who affirm, that however im pregnated with vegetable poisons, it would be impossible, by analysis, to discover their existence. The subject is one which already has created a deep interest, and which cannot, for the satisfaction of all parties, be too patiently investigated. As the Coroner's Jury have not yet come to a decision, we hav e of course, given a mere detail of facts and rumours, without venturing an opinion upon the delic a te question which it is now their exclusive province to decide. Mr. Heaps makes the beer at Headingley, which he retails in Leeds. What tie child drank is sold at four-pence per pint, had been brewed from two quarters of malt with sixteen pounds of hops, and was what is termed the " first coming off."—( heeds Intelligeneer.) , MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—A most melan choly occurrence took place about three o'clock on Saturday last, at Saville-place, Dublin. A. young widow lady, Mrs. Dillon, had 'latterly been subject to a complaint in her stomach, for which a friend recommended a prescription about three weeks ago, which, however, she then declined using. On Saturday she was again taken ill, when the gentleman who first advised the media tine, adm;nistered it to her. It was attended with an instantaneous effect—the unfor.unate lady expired. In two hors after her wkwe tram.! became black, and swelled to an enormous de gree. how the accident occurred it is impossible to say; but there is little doubt that the bottle used by the deceased was poison; and it is a melan choly illustration of the necessity of using the ut most care in keeping medicines in the house unla belled, and without proper directions. Domestic medicines are, in nine cases out of ten, dangerous. What increases the affliction of this sad story is, that the gentleman who recommended the medicine was warmly attached to the lady, and was to have been married to her in a few days.— (Dublin Patriot.) The establishment of a new linen-draper's shop n Barnstaple has produced an unwonted com petition in the trade. The old established houses not feeling disposed to have the attention of their customers diverted by the low prices publish ed by the stranger, came to a determination to make a sacrifice; immediately the windows were seen filled with articles, ticketed at less than one half their former prices; calico at 2d. a yard, gloves ld. a pair, &c. And whilst the front of " Scotland House" was covered with muslins, prints, and handkerchiefs, pending from the attic windows, and waving like streamers long and gay across the street, the adjoining " London House," with proud superiority reared a stand ard on its summit, from whence its banner float ed, not to excite to deeds of sanguinary conflict, but peaceably to proclaim to the crowds that gathered round it, the unrivalled cheapness of the goods within. The stranger (who it seems is a Scot) added to the attractions of his establish ment, by distributing from his upper windows a liberal supply of cakes to the gaping crowd below.
