The Nuremberg Correspondent of the 4th inst. contains the following article, which is highly important to the merchants of this Country, who are in tl►e habit of attending the Fair at Leipsig LEIPSIG, MARCH 2. The Persians, who were here at the Easter Fair, were here again at the close of the last Fair, andgaie us some hopes for the approaching Easter Fair. They are men who tire extremely well versed in trade and business, and are now visiting the ma nufactories. in Germany and Alsace, in order to see what goods may be suitable for their own country, and which, according to the present Russian system, can pass into tran sit, at the least expence, by way of Leipsig. In future, they will bring hither silk and-Cachemere wool, and as they say, and giVe us room to hope, will make considerable pur chases : but, the ornaments must be more in the oriental style than is usual in our goods. Those which they want will go farther into theinterior of Asia, where German, English, and French goods have not yet found their way : they also study the predominant taste at the Leipsig Fair with respect to the manufactures of their own country which may meet with a ready sale at Leipsig. The low duty on the transit of goods through Russia facilitates the trade by this channel, which may in time become important. On the other hand the trade with Russian Poland is subject to many difficulties, but this is at tended with the disadvantage to Russia, that its fur must be sold in the China market much lower than formerly, while or dinary Canada furs meet with a sale in Leipsig. The following are extracts from American Papers to the 11th February, which arrived this day : ( From the Baltimore Paper of the 7th Februaryo Captain Bowditch, who left the Isle of France on the 27th of October, states that the Governor had given his consent to have the Port shut; and meetings for that purpose had been held.— Commodore Nourse, of the British frigate Andromache, Com mander-in-Chief on the Isle of France and Cape of Good Hope stations, went on shore at Bombay, on the South-east part of Africa, with six of his Officers and a French botanist, to dine with the Governor. Shortly after, returning on board, they were taken ill, and all died within four days, except the French gentleman, who recovered. No.dthfot was enter!ained but they were poisoned. The body of the Commodore was brotight to the Isle of France for interment.—A fatal disease raged at BUENOS AYItES, DEC. 1. The unexpected detention of the ship Natchez, by which this goes, enables me to say, that there is no longer any doubt as to the views of England in relation to these countries, for . , at a public dinner given by the English merchants yesterday, to which a number of the most respectable Creoles were invited, Mr. PARISI! publicly declared, that he is already empowered by his Government to acknowledge the independence of the Pro vinces of Rio de la Plata. PORTSMOUTH ROAD.—The excellent improve ment in avoiding the top part of Bindhead is now completed, and instead of a dangerous hilly road a new cut is made round the left side of the Devil's Punch Bowl of easy ascent, eighty feet in some places less in elevation than the old road ; and it is worthy of remark and highly compli m'ntary to the parties engaged, that although the length of the new road is nearly a mile, and a solid hill of some magnitude to cut through, such were the admirable arrangements, that it has been completed for the small sum of 9001. in the short space of ten pecks. The success which has crowned this undertaking we hope will act as a stimulus to others on the same road, and %ire might instance the corner just beyond Kingston near the Thames—the turning out of Godalmin at the Tan-yard, the narrow part of Liphook, &c., as affording ample room for further improvement in the road to the most important naval arsenal in the Kingdom. • The Official Dispatches from India, received yesterday, are of so old a date as the 14th of August, and of course contain nothing new. The whole of them appeared some time ago in this Paper. 1t is reported that Duke GEORGE• of S. HILDBURGHAUSEN, second son of the reigning Duke, is to be married to a Princess of Meck- leliburg. By the Allgenzeine Zetung of the sth inst., we learn that Ministers from the Ducal Houses of Gotha and Altenburg, Meinengen, and Coburg, have been appoint , ql to regulate the joint ad ministration of the principalitids of Gotha and Altenburg. The Police at Cadiz has published regulations for the due observance of Lent. In these sump- teary laws it is ordered, amongst other things, that no woman, of whatever rank or condition, shall apiiear in the streets during Holy Week, unless she is dressed in a decent manner. This must give pretty extensive. scope to the caprice and petty tyranny of the underlings of office, . whether they be French or Spaniards. A private letter from Munich, dated the 7th instant, states that the King of BAVARIA had issued a decree, to allay the fears which had been excited in the minds of his Protestant subjects, giving them the most solemn assurances that no ! change would be made, nor any interference ! allowed in their ecclesiastical affairs. This de cree, it is added, had diffused the most. lively joy among the Protestants, w ho had ,felt uneasy in consequence of some recent acts. We hear from unquestionable authority, that the party whose modest intimation excited such just indignation in the House of Commons on Thursday night, is nearly connected with the project of the Liverpool and- Manchester Rail way, and that it was Mr. GURNEY, the. Member 'for Norwich, who so nobly spurned the offer. According Allgeeine Zeitung . of the sth instant, W. STEIN and Mr. F. GEnour, Company, have concluded agreements with t i o r thel the Agents of. - the Elberstield American Mine ow ners of Mines in Mexico, for working them in • joint partnership with the : owners, receiving an equal division of the profits. The favourable prospects held out by these contracts, for the employment of capital, induced the Directors to call a general meeting of shareholders on the llth ultimo, at which it was resolved to increase the capital from 200,000 Prussian. dollars (in 400 shares) to 500,000 dollars by the creation of 600 new shares, which are to be offered to the old Shareholders at a premium of 10 per cent. We understand that Mr. B. A. GOLOSCIISII nT did not bid for the New .Danish Loan at Paris, as stated in a Morning Paper. The amount of the Loan is said to be five millions. The inhabitants of this town viewing- with cor cern the proceedings adopted by the Catholics in order to ob tain political power, have determined upon making known their sentiments thereon to both Houses of Parliament. Petitions have been prepared, and are now lying for signature at the vestries of St. 31artin, St. Margaret, and St. Mary.—( Leicester Journal, March 11.) The appointment of Coroner for the county of Surrey not yet having taken place, the fallowing inquiry was instituted, and heard before L. R. ALLEN, Esq., yesterday morning, at Union Hall police-office, relative to the death of Captain John Conolly, a very old officer in the army, who de stroyed himself on Wednesday morning last, by blowing his brains out with a pistol :—Frorn the evidence adduced, it ap peared that the deceased was between f',o and 70 years of age, and that he had been very recently married to a young lady, along with whom and her parents he resided at No. 17, Hercules buildings, Lambeth. For some time previous to the deceased's death, a visible alteration was observed in his manners and behaviour, which plainly indicated that he was labouring under derangement of intellect. On the morning of his death, .\lrs. Conolly arose at an early hour, as she was accustomed to do, for the purpose of preparing breakfast, and while she was thus engaged, the report of a pistol was distinctly heard throughout the house. On sonic of the family proceeding to the deceased's bed-room, they were shocked on beholding him a corpse. He was lying on his back in bed, completely covered over with the clothes, with the exception of his head and face, which presented a horrid spectacle, a great part of the skull having been blown off, and the brains scattered about the pillow. The pistol with which the unfortunate man had corn mitted self-destruction was closely grasped in his lifeless hand. Surgical assistance was instantly procured, but without effect, as the deceased was quite dead. Depositions to the aboveeffect having been taken on oath before the magistrate, they were transmited to the parish-officers of Lambeth. The investiga tion has superseded the necessity of holding an inquest on the body.

Adapted to the Air "Delt prende an &lee amplesso." I felt thy smile of beauty bless, Nor fear'd its light to leave ; Sunn'd in the noon of loveliness, And thoughtless of the eve ; 11.1 y heart was yielded to thy reign, While yet I thought it free, And car'd not then to break a chain Which hung.so lightsomely. But I have left thee now, and find I liv'd but in thy smile, And feel the chains like iron bind Which hung like flowers a while : The twilight of that vision yet Rests on my memory's eyes, And tells how bright a sun has set, How dark a night must rise ! Nine is no heart where Beauty's eye Awakes a transient blaze, That lingers while her smile is by, .And, when she parts, decays. The fires which thou bast kindled there Shall leave this heart no more ; They may consume their cell—but ne'er Shall they have rest before ! Ott. TORIO.-Last night Drury-Lane Theatre took its turn to present this entertainment to the Public. WEBER seems at present to be the most popular of living Composers. The first Act chiefly consisted of his Kampf raid Sieg, in honour of The Battle of Waterloo. We have had many of these martial compositions, yet there is novelty as well as science in that of last night. One stanza of God Save the King was introduced with striking effect. Selections from HANDEL and other Composers formed the rest of the Con cert, in which BRAHMA and Miss STEPHENS parti cularly distinguished themselves. The former had a loud and unanimous encore in a song of his own, and in The Alexis of Dr. PEPUSCH. In the course of the evening LINDLEY gave a Concerto on the Violoncello, and we can hardly pay him a higher tribute of praise than to say, that he at times re minded us of the exquisite tones of CROSDILL. The house was full, and the whole was received with great applause, though somewhat too much prolonged. NATuni.tr. SOCIETY.—On Thursday the Ge neral Committee of the National Society for the Education of the Peor in the Principles of the Established Church, held their Meeting at St. Martin's Vestry-room. Present—Archbishop of York, Bishops of Salisbury, Ely, Bath and Wells, Lichfield and Coventry, Gloucester, Exeter, and Chester ; Lord Kenyon, Sir James Langham, Bart, George Gipps, Esq. M.P., Arch deacons Cambridge, Watson, Rev. Dr. Bell, and other Members of the Committee. Eight fresh Schools were united to the So ciety, and several grants of money were made towards the erect ing, enlarging, and fitting up of School-rooms. LAMBETH ORGANIST.—At Lambeth yesterday, a Meeting was held at the Parish Vestry to put in nomi nation the Candidates for the situation of Organist. A pre vious trial had taken , place before Professional Judges, when Mr, Ling, jun. who greatly distinguished himself (at No. 5.) by his performance of " Angels ever bright and fair . ," and seven other musicians, were returned by the Judges. as fit Candidates. The Vestry, however, thought proper to put in nomination three persons who had not been so distinguished. A poll has been demanded, and. those who are to be sub mitted to the choice of the parish, are the following :—Mr, Long, of the Poor-house; Mr. Ling. of East-place; Mr. Adams, of Walcot-place ; Mr. White, of Lambeth-walk ; Mr. Leffler, of Nelson-square ; Mr. Richards of Chancery-lane.— The Gentlemennamed bam were returned by, the Umpires and Committee—Mr. Turk, Mr. Sturges, Mr. Callcott, Mr. Mery, Mr. Ling, Mr. Richards, Mr. Leffler, and Mr. Hill. PRACTICAL Br.UNDER OF AN IRISH FOOTPAD ROBB I: R.—During a journey of the Bishop of Salisbury (the celebrated Gilbert Burnet) from his See to London, he had a sudden occasion to stop the carriage, which he desired might proceed at a slow pace, as he expected shortly to overtake it. Very few minutes had elapsed before his Lordship was attacked by a robber, who, in the Irish brogue demand ed his watch and money. Remonstrance under such circum stances being unavailing, he complied with the best grace in his power, expecting no further molestation. The coat, how ever, of the Bishop, happening to take the fancy of the thief, he insisted on its being exchanged for his own threadbare jer kin, in which the clerical dignitary was suffered to depart. Dur ing this transaction the Bishop's coach had proceeded a consi. derable distance, and Mrs. Burnet becoming uneasy at her hus band's delay; put her head out of the window and saw him run ning towards her with all possible speed, in his new disguise, with the meaning of which she was soon made acquainted._ The Bishop, a short time afterwards, on putting his hand int: one of the pockets of the jerkin, had the unexpected good luck to find his own watch, and in the other, not only hii own purse, but also another, containing upwards of fifty golden JaCObilses. THE DOG.—An affecting anecdote was a short time since related in the French Papers :—A young man took a dog into a boat, rowed to the centre of the Seine, and threw the animal over, with intent to drown him. The poor dog often tried to climb up the side of the boat, but his master as often pushed him back, till over-balancing himself, he fell over board. As soon as the faithful dog saw his master in the stream, he left the boat, and held him above water till help arrived from the shore, and his life was saved. b i equ ' e .— ath A ed a c co le n r si g d y er nl abl n e pr i O l p i er Y tY ° to r ilhis daughter, on the subsequent conditions : Firs t, that she do not enter into the state of matrimony without th e consent of his shir A e, l C ate U ly a d i deceased, bequeathed two executors,, or their representatives. Secondly, : that she ' lie dressed with greater decency than she had hitherto been accustomed to do. The testator's words were : " BUtas my . daughther, Ann —, bath not attended to my admonitions, respecting the filthy and lewd custom of dressing with naked elbows, my will is, that in case she persists in so gross a viola: lion gifenlale decency, the whole of the property devised by me as aforesaid, and intended as a provision for her 'future life, shall go to the eldest son of my sister Caroline , and her heirs lawfully begotten. JUDICIAL JOKE.—It is said that the late Chief Baron Thompson was a very . . facetious companion over the bottle, which he very much enjoyed. At one of the. Judge's dinners, during the Assizes, there was present among the party a certain dignitary of the Church. When the cloth was removed, " I always think, my Lord, that a certain quantity of wine does a man no harm after a good dinner !"--- 4 Oh no,.Sir !—by no means,"—replied the Chief Baron, " it is the uncertain quan tity that does the mischief!" SORE TnuoAT.—This is at present very com mon in London. Observe to put a piece of flannel, sprinkled with spirits of wine, round the throat, and take a warm drink of whey with ten grains of nitre, on the night of the:first symptoms of sore throat, and you wilisave. trouble and. expence. ..k•REMEDY FOIL LOW S:PIRITS.—TIIke Of gum ammoniac one drachm, asafoetida half a drachm, disolved and mixed in six ounces of penny-royal water ; add to this mixture half an ounce of syrup of saffron, and take two spoonsful twice or thrice a day. ROMAN ANTIQUTIES.— Thursday, as some workmen 'were digging under the floor of a kitchen, in a house, near Riding Gate,_ adjoining the estate of Mr. R. Fitmicts, they met with an impediment about 1C inches below the surface of the earth. Upon clearing .away, it was found to be a Roman Urn, between two and three feet . high, and about two feet in diameter. It was unfortunately.destroyed from . want of due care . • • - in ',digging round it ; it contained some bones . . . and Ashes but the urn was quite plain.- 1 (Kentish Gazette) . . • . . . . . :t.4 I P- =7, rl r 4:3 e,'Vflt- ...k. ,.. ...ii: ~, ( 0, , •• 41., ..,' I,A, , •• ~ Vf'-...":-,.., , %,,,,--.• ~ , s ly--re 41, " ~." /,' ~24 i t,„•71€1•71,1i., '‘iteLli-d• . • ,- c) • i ‘." awc ,:,..-/ At • --.. --$0.,14a.1 4.4 4....., •••.,; - .1,: ' , 4=l, ti - 5 / ,i. \7(4.7- :-..,.. ...rt .. 4- c, - \ , V i ? ‘‘`‘ .`t V ' -i - Ell -4. 0 .- E Fik\ . , A , •:... f A ' • fOj 11 i, THE KING, &c. WINDSOR, MARCH 11.—The health of his MAJESTY has greatly improv ed since his return to the Royal Lodge; but we fare sorry that the uncertain state of the weather prevents him taking that exercise in the Great Park which has hitherto been of such great benefit to him.—Her Royal Highness the Prin cess Augusta entertained the Hon. Miss Townshend and Miss Douglas last evening at dinner, at her residence, Frogmore Lodge. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.
