EXTRACTS ritox THE AGE.---" We have seen the para graphs Box 'Pox alludes to; but again beg to decline making any remarks on the separation in question, as it is quite of a private nature. We really wonder that some of our cotempo raries make such a mystery of it, and therefore to prevent any further misrepresentation: which may arise through their inuen (l44, it is as well to say at once, that the Countess of Uxbridge has separated herself from the Earl, in consequence of a dis agreement in disposition." We have also seen the errors in the Morning Paper:, and have no objection to rectify th em by authority. Lord Clan ricarde is to be honoured with a Alarquisate, and to become a Representative Peer of Ireland." 1' 0 E T it T. The following poetical advice was lately sent by Lord NOR MANDY to Lord GLXNGALL, returning him a Comedy which has been for some time lying on the Covent Garden shelf ; and although the effusion does not possess much more originality than some other of his Lordship's late writings, it is amusing enough : " Your comedy I've read, my friend, And like the half you pilfer'd best ; And if your play you wish to mend, Take courage, Dick, and steal the rut." (Mc Age.) ANECDOTES, &e. • PRINCELY FORBEARANCE.-King HENRY the SECOND never imposed any tax or tribute on his subjects throughout the whole of his reign, and yet when he died he left nine hundred thousand pounds in his Treasury.__( Graf ton': Chronicle.)_ BRITISH PATRIOTISM.—The small island of Anguilla, in the West Indies, was in the month of May, 1745, bravely defended by a handful of men against 600 French ; on whose approach Governor IlonuE made the following speech :—" Gentlemen, I am an utter stranger to all manner of military discipline, so have nothing to recommend to you, but load and fire as fast as you can, and stand by one another in the defence of your country.

FATAL RECOGNITION.---ID 1599 two Spaniards, brothers, who, although they had for a long series of years always sought each other, were never able to meet, at last acci dentally came in contact at the siege of Bromniel, then the seat of war, where they served in two different companies. They were unknown to each other at first, but some little explanation made their relationship known, when they fell on each other's neck. N'irhile they were thus locked in an affectionate embrace, a cannon-ball took off both their heads without separating their bodies, which fell clasped together into the arms of death. MESSRS. CONSTABLE AND J3LACKWOOO.—Mr• Constable is a skilful man of business, but simple in his man ners, comprising all lie has learnt in a few phrases, and con.. tent with being tne richest bookseller in Scotland. Mr. Black wood aspires to the character of being the wittiest. There is an air of bon-honztnie in the figure and deportment of Constable ; Blackwood has at once a hard and crafty look : his smile is habitually sardonic : he reads the manuscript which he pur chases, and dictates his opinion to the Editors—so he at least himself gave me to understand, on my politely asking him whether he did not write himself, and on his replying in the negative.—( Tour in England and Scotland, by Dr. Pichot.) RELIGIOUS CONSISTENCY.—An Hebrew having fallen into a privy at Tewkesbury on a Saturday, for reverence of the day, which is their Sabbath, would not be taken out of it. The Earl of Gloucester hearing of it, commanded that he should not be taken out on the Lord's Day, ?or reverence of the Christian Sabbath, and on Monday morning he was unfortu nately found dead !—(Graftori's Chronicle.) ITALICS.—The characters termed Italic, used in printing, were the inventon of Aldus Munitius : they are an imitation of manuscript, and as some say, of the writing of Petrarch in particular. HENRY TIIE EIGHTII.—V4 heII this novereign had, upon the intercession of several of his Nobles, pardoned a murderer, it appears he soon after committed the same offence, and another attempt was made to save him; but the King being extremely troubled by the application, said, " This vil " lain killed the first man, but I have killed the second :" and commanded him to be immediately executed, as he well de served !—(0ilio .111clander, joca seria, p. 184.) Lord CocugANE is expected here in the course of next week. It is now said that his Lordship will certainly return to the Brazils in the Pi ranga. The ship is lying at Spitheatl ready for sea.—(Portsmouth Paper.) YORKSHIRE MUSICAL FESTIVAL. YORK, SATURDAY, SEPT. 17. The grand festival terminated yesterday in a manner which proves unequivocally the secure possession which these unrivalled entertainments have of public estimation. To the last hour the spirit with which they have been conducted and received was kept up ; and the interest, if it did not increase, was in no degree diminished. At an earl hour on Friday morning every avenue to the Cathedral was, as usual filled with persons of the first respectability waiting for admission ; and in a single quarter of an hour after the doors were opened, every form in the body of the great idle, and all the seats in the gallery except those reserved for the patrons, were occupied. -The performance commencectas usual at 12 o'clock, and the: opening piece of "-the Dettingen Te Deum" produced as vivid an effect as on the first day of the Festival-in 1823, when it de veloped the transcendent powers of the orchestra. graham As.ng inimitably, an d eve n those with w h om, f or some reason , "he iik not a favourite, could.not withhold their tribute of ac knowl \ 'gement to his skill and execution. M a ti n L u ther's Hymn, nd " Deeper and deeper Still," were sang w ith a e power an d effect that no singer in England of the present day 4 can equal, and the passage ' " 'Tis this that racks my brain " And pours into my breast a thousand pangs, • " That lash me into madness," was given with a pathos that went to the heart. The Dead March in Saul was played in perfection ; no band could be, better adapted for it, and by none could more justice be done to it. The burst in Gloria Pairi reverberated through the arched roof, and the chorusses filled the whole atmosphere of the ca thedral with music as completely as it was filled with air. This memorable festival was very appropriately concluded with the Coronation Anthem, and the doors were thrown open to allow the crowd assembled in the Minster-yard to advance into the centre of the church, and hear those loyal strains, which they did as effectually, and in some -places more advantageously, than if they had been within the limits appropriated to the regu lar audience. In the same liberal spirit, the doors of the Illin ster were opened on Saturday for the free admission of specta tors, who had an opportunity of gratifying themselves with a sight of the majestic outfit, previous to the whole being dis mantled, 'and the interior of the Minster restored to its former state. Of this privilege thousands availed themselves to-day, and expressed, as well they might, their wonder and admira tion. We are glad to find that this noble building has received no injury from the benevolent and gratifying use to which It has been appropriated, either by the previous preparations, or during the. performances. The Dean, with much vigilance, watches over the building, and his anxiety to let no deteriora tion take place, while it is in . his keeping may be excused if it sometimes assumes rather an intractable and wayward aspect. It is known that the Committee of Management, sometime be fore the festival commenced, conceiving themselves fully autho rized by the highest ecclesiastical authority, erected exterior gal leries for the admission of the audience, for the putpase of avoid ing that pressure which every day took place when the doors first opened; but the Dean, on his return to York, ordered the galleries to be taken down, and the openings at the windows to be restored to their former situation.- This, and- some other circumstances of less importance, in which there was a conflict of opinion, both parties actin g , n o d ou bt, as t h ey j u d ge d f or t h e best, produced some irritation, and an apprehension prevailed that the Minster would never again be allowed for a festival during the present incumbency; but these little disquietudei have gradually died away, and the Dean has already begun to conjecture us to the most fit time, whether three years or four, for holding another festival. The fancy ball of last night was a very fascinating scene. It was gay, tasteful, and splendid. The dresses were for the most part well chosen, and there was about them a freshness and brilliancy which produce none of those recollections of Monmouth-street which arise at some time from the costumes exhibited at similar entertainments. Every lady went expect. ing to be gratified, and what is much more important and per haps, unasal the whole company came away with their expecta tions exceeded. Persons who hare been accustomed to mix in all the gaitits of fashionable life, both at home and abroad, declared that they had 'never witnessed an . assemblage of this kind so fascinating. The number of persons present was about 2,c400, and troth the Assembly-room and the New Concert room were'fully occupied during the'whole night. An enutne ration of the persons and characters would be out of its place here, but it may just be mentioned that the Duke of Devon. shire wore regimentals; the Marquis of Ailesbury his usual dress ; Lord Milton a costume little suited to the integrity and inflexibility of his character, that of a courtier; the Marquis of Londonderry wore regimentals, and the Marchioness crowned a splen :id dress with a profusion of brilliants that dazzled and attracted the whole room. If it be asked to what did all .the music and gaiety described from day to day during the York Festival tend? The answer is, to the promotion of benevolence and the advancement of musical science in the country. As to the funds arising out of the Festival for the purpose of the charities it is. impossible to speak with precision, owing to the uncertainty about the amount of expences incurred by the managing committee, but estimating them as they formerly have been, at 11,0001. exclu sive of the building of the new rooms, the result will be, that 941001. will be applicable to the four charities, in money or in money's worth. On this subject the following statement will be read with interest : LIECEIPTS AND DISBURSEII MUSICAL FESTIVA: Tickets issued 130—Tuesday - 3,052 Wednesday 4,674 Thu - lay - 4,847 Friday - 4,555 lENTS OF THE YORKSHIRE Ls IN 1823 and 1825. for the Minster. 1825—Tuesday - - . 3,662 Wednesday - 6,900 Thursday . 6,000 Friday . . 6,000 .823—Receipts, £16,174.

Room. 8,000 Charities - ;200 £16,174 I £20,200 In the morning after the conclusion of the Festival the Mar quis of A ilesbu:y presented the Committee with 501., making the whole receipts 20,2501., The deed of trust now preparing places the direction and controul,and vests the new Concert-rooms in trust for the charity, in the Archbishop and Dean of York, and in the Lord Mayor of this city. This appointment is considered rather too eccle siastical : it is quite proper that the clergy should have the direction and management of the Cathedral; but the economy and trust of a,concert-room would better suit the character and pursuits of laymen ; and the public are of opinion that the ma jority at least of the trusts should have been lay. No better proof can perhaps be found of the prosperity of the country than that which this Festival exhibits. The sum expended in the purchase of tickets, it has been already stated, exceeds 20,000/. ; and the expences of the Company in coming to, and returning from, York, and their lodgings and other ac comodations and purchases in that city, will add at least 100,0001. 'to that sum for the week's entertainment. Every part of the country has contributed according to its means to this astonish ing expenditure, but the great body of the visiters are from the . West Riding, the seat of the manufactures and the hire of the population. .What may be the proper period for celebrating the future festivals, whether three, four, or five years, it may be difficult to determine ; but when it is observed that the satisfaction with those that have passed is universal, we .hope the Managing Committee, than which none can be so efficient, will at the proper time resume their labours for the public grati fication and benefit, and in this way confer upon their city and their country fresh obligations. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 6.—According to accounts from Greenland, of June 17, the greatest cold was 29°. The quantity of snow was uncommonly small, whence there was a scarcity of water. A great many whales have appeared in those seas ; but very few were taken. EAST FRIESLAND, SEPT. 1.-Our whale fishers have been very unsuccessful this year.

The Proprietors of the two National Theatres have determined not to give more than twenty pounds per week to any one Actor or Actress, however great their celebrity--Thi s resolut i on will be exceedingly advantageous to the profes sion in general ; for whilst exorbitant salaries have hitherto been given to a few individuals, the great body of useful Comedians have been com pelled to perform at a salary inadequate even to their domestic comforts.—(Morning Paper.)

CORN EXCHANGE,' SEPT. 19 Last week there was a fair arrival of most sorts of Grain for this season of the year. This morning the fresh supply of Wheat from Kent is good, from Essex moderate, and from all other parts small. Of Barley, Beans, and Pease, the quanti ties fresh up are moderate, and there are only a few vessels arrived to-day with Oats. Most of tliz samples of Wheat at market to-day are damp in quality, and as our millers want dry parcels of Icheat, what few were of this description were taken off readily at rather higher prices than last quoted; but all other kinds have met a heavy sale at about the terms of this day se'nnight, and many damp parcels are left unsold. Barley that is good supports the terms of last Monday. Beans fully maintain the quotations of this day ae'nnight. Boiling and Grey Pease are each further advanced 2s. per quarter. Having but few good oats at market, such sell freely at no variation in prices, other qualities meet a dull sale. In Flour no alteration.

I REPORTED DUEL.—We invntioned on Saturday that the stupid statement-respecting a duel between Lord Br '— GRAYS and a nameless Irishman " with a titles" appeared to us to be nearly unintelligible, and we since learn that it is entirely unfounded. Why such a senseless hoax should be attempted on the public, why Eaton-hall should be thrown into dreadful confusion and dismay," when enjoying domestic tranquillity and indulging in generous hospitality—why " three strance Irish gentlemen with a splendid equipage and many servants" should be brought to Chester, when they could have found fighting enough at home—why they should let a mystery hang over them" till they committed an act for which they ought, in Lord Castlereagh's language, to have " stood prostrate" in shame—and then, why they should ostenatatiously give their addres: to the porter," cannot very easily be explain ed. We are glad, however, that the Irish Nobleman " who was shot through the abdomen" has recovered in spite of the surgeons, 'and that Lord Belgrave is out of " the danger ous state" in which he was left when the first bulletin was is sued at Chester.—( Timer.) THE CONDOR.—The following method of tak ing the Conder is practised in Peru :—The skin of an ox or horse, freshly killed, is laid on the ground, under which an In dian conceals himself; another remains in ambush at a dis tance. The bird, attracted by the smell of the skin, perches upon it, and is instantly seized by the man, w h o being thus protected, holds him down, while his companion sallies 04, and dispatches him with a club. BIRTH. On the 16th inst., at Walworth, the lady of Samuel Palmer, Esq., of it daughter. MARRIED. On Friday the 16th inst., at St. Martin's Church, Chester, by the Lord Bishop of Chester, the Rev.

[BRITISH PRESS.] A Cabinet Council will be held on a day to be fixed between to-morrow and Saturday next, during which interval, the Members have received notice to hold themselves in readiness to attend. It is calculated, that, at the ensuing General Election, about twelve new opponents will be added to the number already adverse to Catholic Emancipation ; this will,.of course, tend, to re move the prospect of that event to a much further distance than had some time ago been contem plated. By the news from Spain in the French Papers received yesterday, it appears that that wretched kingdom is sinking more deeply every day into the horrors of confusion and misrule. The ramifi cations of the A postolic plot extend through every province of the Peninsula. The execution of Bes sieres has only aroused the revengeful fury . of th e conspirat ors w i t h out intimidating them. An open revolt. has been excited at 'J'ortosa by the seadet - is - harangues of some priests of that city in the public square. Ferdinand was held up to execration as a Freemason, and coupled in the mouths of the popukce with the Negros ! At Segovia, six Canons of the chapter of the metro politan church have been arrested as accomplices iu the conspiracy .of Bessieres. The Kinglias given orders that .all the plotters against his au thority shall be condignly punished, without ally regard to their rank or condition in life. The negociatiob for a loan between the house of Rothschild and the Court of Madrid is ccrainlY at an end. The agent of the bankers has return ed to Paris. M. Zea, who feels it impossible to carryon the government without money, laid a plan before the King for the sequestration of the , property of a great number of convents. On this basis he proposed to raise a loan of 90' millions of reals; but the King would not listen to the . pro ject. The authentic intelligence from Greece is not later than we had already received. There are some. reports favourable to the . patriots; but after' our experience of Greek news we are afraid to rely upon.—(lbid.) {THE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The following is , the only leading articl e in this paper to-day The Etoile of Friday ar rived in town, by express, on Saturday, but it contains nothing of any interest. It appears, by an article from Madrid of the 6th instant, that an Address had been presented to Ferdinand, by some Military Officers stationed at Puerto Real, expressive of attachment to their Sovereign. This courtly step was taken in consequence of the enterprise of Bessieres." [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the 17th inst. and the Malec of Saturday reached us last night by Express. As Friday last was the Anniversary of the death of Louis XVIII. most of the Journals are sur rounded with a black border, and an eulogium of the acts of that Monarch. The Quotidjenne being unwilling,or unable to say any thing original about the Author of the Charter, for whose work it enter tains but little respect, has contented itself with re-publishing part of the article written by Vis. count Chateaubriand last year when Louis died. The Constitutionel and the other Opposi tion Papers take no notice whatever of the anni versary. The Moniteur contains intelligence from Constantinople to the 26th of August, which admits that the Captain 'Paella's fleet bad been driven away by the Greeks from off Misso longhi and roughly handled. It also confirms the fresh rising of the Greeks in the Isle of Crete, which is highly important, as it will .deprive the Turks and Egyptians of the advantages which they derived from the temporary sub. mission of that Island. Forty , Greek vessels were cruising to intercept the Egyptian fleet on its return with a new supply of troops from Alexandria. The capture of Napoli di Malvoisia by Ibrahim Pacha is contradicted, and it is frankly owned that nothing certain was known respecting the operations of that Commander. —The intelligence from Madrid comes down to the 6th inst. The Ministers, though desirous of disarming the Royal Volunteers all over the country, had not ventured on a general execution of that measure, but had begun to carry it into effect in villages and inconsiderable towns, for the purpose, no doubt, of feeling the public pulse, and proceeding farther if they met with nothing like open or systematic resistance. A branch of Be'ssieres' conspiracy is said to have been discovered at Segovia, in consequence of which six Canons belonging to the metropolitan church of that place had been arrested. The Etoile contains a dispatch or letter from Georges Sachtouri, Admiral of the Greek fleet, dated Glarentza, on board the Minerva, A ug. 7, 1825, confirming the successes of the Greeks at Misso loughi, on the `,.'d of August, and the defeat of the Turkish fleet in several actions which took place between that and the 6th of August. The Admiral concludes by saying, " You may place implicit confidence in the details which I have given." It does not appear to whom this mis sive is addressed. [NEW T 1 M Es.] The French Papers are in mourning for Louis XVIII., last Friday being the anniversary of his death. That day was a holiday, and there fore we have no price of stocks published ; and, as the printing offices were shut, there was to be no paper printed on Saturday. This is a very hi convenient tribute of respect, but the most whim sical compliment is that paid by the Courier Francais, which reprints the whole of the Con stitutional Charter, as " the most disinterested tribute it could pay to the late King, and at the same time the most noble and most worthy of him." On the same principle we ought to reprint Magna Charta in a month's time, as the 17th of October is the anniversary of the death of King John. The Spanish news informs us that Cabinet Councils have been held in Madri d on the subject of South American affairs. If Spain were wise, she would, cut the knot by
