It is presumed, that the surest criterion to estimate the character of these well known Conveyances, and of the high consideration which the Country Establishments, connected with them, are held by the Public, is—the nu merous Booking Shops constantly opening to the right and left of the Spread Eagle, Gracechurch-street, and sur rounding the Spread Eagle Office, Piccadilly.

Her late exem plary Father was for years in the service of the Crown ; but by whose premature decease, together with her own subsequent ill health, and being left entirely friendless and unprovided for, render her truly worthy of humane notice.

FRENCH PAPERS. • (From the Moniteur of Saturday, July 21.) ANCONA, JULY 4.The steam-packet of the lonian Islands, which, in the regular course, could not have arrived here till the 9th, entered this port yesterday, the 3d,. with extraordinary dispatches from Corfu, for London: The followin g particulars are extracted, from private letters, which it brought : General Church, according to accounts from Zante, occupied the positions of Dervania. Colocotroni and the other Greek Chiefs were posted in different places about the Isthmus of Corinth, to oppose, if possible, the. march of Ibrahim. It is reported that Lord Cochrane, at the head of the Greek fleet of seventy sail, has dispersed the Egyptian fleet, off the coast of Candia. LISBON, JULY 4.—On the 2d the Portuguese ship, Admiral Pacheco, arrived here, in 68 days from Rio. The armies in the south had taken up posi tions after the bloody battle of the 21st of February. The Brazilian cavalry had joined the rest of the Im perial army. A new expedition was preparing at Rio, but the arrival of Commissioners from Buenos Ayres, to treat for peace, delayed the departure of the forces, :and it is generally believed that the differences will be adjusted to the satisfaction of both parties. We expect here General Correa de Mello, Go vernor of Tras-os-Montes ; his post is filled ad in- terim, by General Benedicto. The letters from the Northern frontiers are very satisfactory ; they state that the 'Spanish Authori ties of Galina have given the strictest orders to arrest and disarm the Portuguese rebels, who from time to time re-entered our territory and committed all kind of excesses. It is Colonel Ignacio Perreira, of the Militia of Orense, who is charged with this Commission, the same who so strongly declared in their favour, and has always assisted them. It seems that ie Cabinet of Madrid is inclined to use conciliatory measures towards Portugal. Considerable promotions and numerous changes have been made in the army ; some changes have also been made in the staff of the fortresses. PARIS, JULY qo. —Some Journals receive with fir too much readinesS the news . which officious cor respondents send them respecting the affairs of the Peninsula. We feel it to be our duty to inform their readers, that the letters we received from Ma drid and Lisbon are far from justifying the alarms conceived or s propagated by thosegournals. The hope of Europe, in the wisdom of the determina tions which will insure the repose of the Peninsula, will not be disappointed. We shall not venture, as some have done, to foretell or to indicate the ar rangements that may be mate ' • but we can boldly contradict the news published by papers of various opinions, in every thing that they may state contrary to the just hopes of peace and order, which the two kingdoms of the Peninsula have reciprocally gua ranteed to each other. (From the Constitutionnel.) " CAM; JULY 3.—The Governor of Gibraltar has refused :to admit privateers (South American) into the bay. That, however, is not considered enough; for it is wished that he should prohibit the embarkation of provisions and military stores from the place, which certain individuals supply to the privateers. "The Spanish ship The sweet Name of Jesus, Captain Emanual Echezuria, bound to Mundaca, has been taken and burnt near Santander, by the Colo►nbian privateer General Arntario the Spanish ereN were sent to Mundaca, where they are under quarantine. Within these few days this privateer has made a great number of prizes; she is the terror of our mercantile navy, and the ruin of our, com merce. MADRID, JUNE 28.—The day before yesterday the Duke of San Carlos had a private audience with his Majesty. "The Duke de Villa Hermosa has received the order of the Golden Fleece, as a reward for his ser vices as our Ambassador at Paris. " The rumours respecting the evacuation of Ca, diz and Barcelona still continue to circulate. A trifling occurrence, in which our Government is undoubtedly altogether innocent, yet, which, ne vertheless, will not fail to cause it much annoyance, forms at the present moment the subject of much remark in our diplomatic circles. The facts are these : " A depot of Portuguese refugees, consisting of a Brigadier, a Colonel, and eight other officers, and about 70 soldiers, lately received an order to march from La Riga, where these troops were assembled, , to two small villages between Salamanca and Nava redona (Old Castile), in each of which the half of this small depot, that is, 35 soldiers, four subalterns, and a superior officer, were to remain in garrison. At the place where the troop was to separate into two parties, it found horses, arms, and two Spanish officers, who led it into Portugal, where it pro claimed the Infant Don Miguel, and committed some excesses in three or four villages, after which it again sought rerige in Spain, on the fourth day of this glorious expedition. Complaints on the subject were immediately addressed to our Government by that of Portugal.' " A curious account has just been published; it is of the subscriptions made by the different religious communities, by the corporations, ecclesiastical as well as civil, by the different municipalities of the kingdom, and by several private individuals, for the organization, equipment, and support of the Royalist volunteers of the kingdom, from the end of the year 1823 to that of 1826. The sum of the whole, in cluding the expences of religious ceremonies, the blessing of banners and other casual charges, amounts to 119,000,000 of reals (31,535,000 c rates .) At present the taxes imposed on every kind of provisions, crops, merchandises, and importa tions, for the support of the Royalist Volunteers, has arisen to two-thirds of the ordinary contribu dons; and it is remarked that all the villages which l#ve no Royalist Volunteers pay as much of the contributions as those which have. (From the Quotidienne.) LISBON, JULY s:—The Government has received an official communication of the answer given by the Infant Don Miguel to his brother Don Pedro, wherein he pleads the state of his health as prevent ing him from proceeding to the Brazils. A grand Cabinet Council was held on this subject some days ago, when the Ambassadors of Austria, France, and England were called in. A note from the Cabinet of Vienna was submitted to the Council, wherein that Cabinet manifests an opinion respecting the expediency of investing Don Miguel with the Regency of Portugal as soon as that Prince attains the age of majority. The Princess Regent tid not hesitate to ask the Ambassadors' advice on this project. The Ambas sadors of France and Austria expressed, it.is said, their opinion against the embarkation of the Infant Don Miguel, as his presence in Brazil would - be useless, whilst it might become necessary in Portugal. The English Ambassador spoke less decidedly, espe cially with respect to the Regency ; but he declared that with respect to the voyage to Brazil, his Go vernment would subscribe to whatever decision the Portuguese Cabinet might come to. The 'Portuguese Ministers then delivered their opinions, and all, the Home Secretary excepted, de clared in the name of the Princess Regent, that her Highness would with pleasure give up the direction of affairs to her brother, the‘lnfant Don Miguel:and that her health was not the only motive that deter- PRICE 7D. mined her to this step, which she heartily desired, from the conviction that her brother was, on account of his activity, wisdom, and talents, more capable than herself to direct the affairs of the kingdom ; That, however, as she had received the Regency from the hands'of her brother the Emperor of Brazil, he considered that she ought not to relinquish the same without his express order; and that she would, for this reason, despatch a vessel to Rio Ja neiro, for the purpose of asking his instructions, and then she would conform to the will of his Imperial Majesty. The Home Secretary (or Minister of the Inte rior) fully concurred in the advice of the French and Austrian Ambassadors ; he even voted for the imme diate return of the Infant Don Miguel to Portugal. On the 3d instant a brig was sent to Rio Janeiro ;with despatches addressed to the Emperor Don Pedro, to apprise him of what was going on here. It is very probable that the return of the Infant Don Miguel to Lisbon, and the plan of investing him iwith the Regency has been preconcerted between the 'three great Powers, and that the Princess Re :gent,yielding in yieldi to the councils of her inorher, ur .thers this project, which undoubtedly will be carried into execution long before the return of the brig that has ,been despatched. It is asserted that the Infant :Don Miguel will not await the completion of his '2sth year before he leaves Vienna, but that he will arrive in the course of next month. His presence will change the aspect of affairs. Tile Powers who meddle with our ebneerns are Ivell aware to what extent these changes may go; and they are likewise aware that by delaying this movement, which is ine vitable, they would run the risk of a disastrous crisis, for all resistance to the prevailing opinion would hereafter become both useless and dangerous.

POOLE QUARTER SESSIONS. IMPORTANT TO THE SHIPPING INTEREST. THE PARISH OF ST. JAMES.-POOLE V. GOSS AND OTHERS. The question in this case arose upon a construc tion of the several statutes concerning the poor•rates. Some time since the parish ,imposed rates on the ship-owners of Poole, and in so rating them, rated the non-resident as well as the resident owners of each ship, so as thus to rate upon the full value of the ship. The Sessions upon appeal confirmed this rate, subject to a case for the opinion of the Court of King's Bench, and that Court, upon argument, de cided, that this, mode of rating could. not by allowed, and that no rate could be made upon the non resident part owners. After this decision, the parish, under the advice of their Counsel, made a new rate, in which they only rated the resident owner by name, but rated him to the full value of each ship; contendin, that as he was the visible and apparently the sole legal owner of the property, thus situated in the parish, the whole property could be reached through him. The Sessions upon appeal confirmed this rate, also subject, as before, to a case for the opinion of the Court of King's Bench. The Court, upon argument, decided, that this rate also was objectionable, observing, that to allow it would be to allow that to be done indirectly, which could not legally be done directly. They therefore ordered the rate to be amended, by apportioning its amount according to the actual interest of the resi dent owner in each ship. The Sessions now held were the first since the late decision of the Court of King's Bench, and Mr. BARSTOW appeared for the parish, and Mr. JEREMY for the ship-owners. Mr. JEREMY put in the rule of the Court of King's Bench, and called upon the Court to amend the rate, in obedience to that rule. To this no objec tion was offered. Mr. JEREMY then moved, that in this case his client should be allowed his costs. Mr. BARSTOW for the parish, contended that it was not imperative on the Court to allow any costs. The COURT, after some deliberation, awarded only 403. costs. Seven other appeals were, by consent, similarly disposed of. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS. COUNTRY DIARY.-FRIDAV, Jt,Lr V.'

The following ludicrous scene took place a few days ago at Newhaven. A letter was re ceived by the wife of a fisherman employed at Wick, in the end of which he mentioned, " I add no more." The woman being no great scholar, read it " I am no more," and conceived the letter to be an intimation of her husband's death. She became frantic and inconsolable at the news, and bitterly bewailed her heavy be reavement, in which she was joined by many other fishermen's wives, about a score in number, who had at that instant heard a report of the loss of several fishing boats at Wick. It is impos sible to describe the melancholy lamentations at their supposed loss, until a gentleman, whose humanity prompted him to request a perusal of the letter, gave these forlorn widows, as they supposed themselves, the most unspeakable com fort by explaining, that the alarming words were nothing more than a term of farewell.—Glasgow Chronicle. RUSSIA AND PERSIA. ST. PETERSBURGH, JULY 4.—ln consequence of the testimony given by General Paskewitsch to the fidelity and zeal of Colonel Sultan Allhoult, Khan of Elisouy in 1826, during the irruption of the Per sians into the Mussulman Provinces connected with Russia, by which conduct he maintained tranquillity in his possessions . in the midst of the Lesghees and the inhabitants' of Sheki, who had revolted, the Em peror has been pleased to appoint hiM Knight of the Order of St. Anne of the Second Class, and to give him the.insignia in diamonds. On the 7th May a caravan of 106 camels, loaded with cotton yarn and other goods, from Bukltria, arrived at Troitzky. NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN GEORGIA. Upon information that Hassan Khan was on the right bank of the Araxes with some cavalry, opposite a convenient ford, and that he hindered the inhabit. ants of the left bank from returning to their villages, General Benkendorff advanced, on the 6th June, from Ytchmiadzine towards Sardar Abad, with a battalion of the 40th Regiment of Chasseurs, 100 men of the Regiment of Grenadiers of Georgia, two pieces of cannon, and 950 Cossacks. On the Bth, at live in the morning, he arrived at the village of Feuda, one werst from the Araxes.— By the reports of the Armenians, Hassan Khan had lately been in that village with his cavalry, 500 in fantry, and three pieces of cannon, but had hastily left it at day-break, and gone further down the river. The Armenians also declared, that the inhabitants were in the mountains, at least 60 wersts from the bank of the river. General Benkendorff, desiring to ascertain the enemy's force, undertook to recon noitre in person, and leaving the Chasseurs and the cannon on the left bank, he crossed the Araxes with the 100 tirailleurs and the Cossacks. Two wersts from the river, he occupied the village of Khan Ma mat, and ordered Major Verbitsky, commanding the 4th Regiment of Cossacks of the Black Sea, to ob serve the enemy with 300 Cossacks. Yielding to, the solicitations of that officer, Gen. Benkendorff permitted him to attack the Persians, 'who had ap-, proached to the number of 200 men, but he en-. joined him to be very circumspect not to' separate from the detachment ; and he at the same time gave orders to Colonel Kar-. pa* to hold himself in readiness with the rest of the Cossacks. When he learned that Verbitsky was advancing, he sent Colonel Karpoff to support him. The enemy retreated towards the mountains, passing before the village of Kassim Dijon, and drew the Cossacks into strong ground, intersected by ravines, where Major Verbitzky led away by his bravery, fell upon the Persians, and had nearly broken their right wing, when a considerable quantity of cavalry, which had lain in ambush, took the Cossacks in the flank. In this attack Major Verbitzky and Captain Ouschakoff, of the regiment of Karpoff, were killed. The Cossacks defended themselves bravely, but deprived of their commander, and overpowered by numbers, they were obliged to fall back. The arrival of Colonel Karpoff stopped the pursuit of the Persians, and obliged them to re treat towards the mountains. Besides the two officers, the Cossacks lost 102 men. The enemy lost above 200 men, including ten officers, whose horses were taken by the Cossacks. MYSTERIOUS POISONING. A circumstance of an afflicting and mysterious nature has just occurred in Brill-place, Somer's Town. A labouring man, Frederick Wittemburg, has fallen a victim to poison, administered in a suet dumpling, which is said to have been made by his wife, on Saturday evening. On retiring to bed he became sick, and, after repeated vomitings, sent for Mr. Dillon, a surgeon, who found him labouring under the strongest symptoms of poison. The stomach-pump was immediately had recourse to, but without the desired effect; and he died about five o'clock, declaring that he forgave his murderer, and, intimating that a portion of the dumpling was still remaining in the cupboard. It, however, could not be found, and the evasive answers of the wife, when questioned on the subject, fixed a suspicion that she was in some degree implicated. In the course of the morning, however, she acknowledged having eaten it herself, and in a short time became dreadfully ill, exhi biting all the symptoms which had. accompanied the awful death of her husband, in which state she for some time continued, occasionally rating of her husband, and making use of very equivocal expressions, which it would not in the present state %)f the busi ness be prudent to mention, a Coroner's Jury hav ing been summoned to investigate this affair. Two cats, which had partaken accidentally of the contents of the stomach-pump, have both died this morning, and the presenee of arsenic has, it is said, been dis covered in the stomach of the deceased. The flour was bought at a baker's shop in an adjoining street, on Saturday, and the poison must have been added afterwards to it, though the wife has stated that she never lost sight of it until the dumpling was madd. There are three children, who were fortunately from home. The wife is likely to recover. The chil dren, we understand, are groivn up and married; but some grandchildren resided with the parties, who have been married 27 years. It is stated they have lived on bad terms for a very considerable length of time. • thi The tea most in estimation among Russians, is scented with the flowers of Chinese shrub (the olea . fragrans, named b , the Chinese quai:fa ), a small quantity of whicl is placed at the top of each chest. The to thus perfumed, is then termed " tioweD•teP and is of a very fine quality. SKR - 4011g 0! SOCIITY. • DAVID, THE 41 , 4„fiENCH - PAINTER. The following interesting conversation, (says a foreign journal) between this artist and the first consul, Buonaparte, hes not been noticed in any • . of their biographies, and may be considered as authentic. After his return from the campaign in Italy, the first consul wished to be painted by David, and appointed him an audience, in order to speak to him on the subject. " What are you doing now ?" he addressed him when enter. ing the room, " I am occupied with representing the Battle of Thermopylm," was the artist's reply. " This is of no use ; you do wrong to waste your labours in representations of the conquered. '— " But, Citizen Consul," cried David, " these conquered were not the less heroes who died for their country ; and, notwithstanding their having been defeated, still the Persians were driven from Greece for more thin a century."— " It does not matte!'" replied the first consul ; " the name of Leonidas alone remained—all the rest are lost to history." " All ?—except the high-minded resistance offered against a very nu inerous enemy ; all ?—except their resignation to die for the glory of their memory; all ?—except 'the regularity and strict habits of the Lacedmmo iians ; to have a constant recollection•of which, would be useful to our warriors," retorted ' the artist. David now promised to lay aside this picture, and to set about paint ing the portrait of the first consul, re. questing that he would favour him with a few sittings. " Why do you want me to sit fur the picture ?" asked Buonaparte ; " do you suppose that those great men of the ancients, whose pictures we have, ever sat to their painters ?" " But I have to paint you for our own time, for people that have seen and known you ; and . they will require a likeness." " What - does that signify _ The likeness is certainly not to be looked for in the faithful representation a the features, or of some little spot on the nose of the person represented ; but only in the charac= ter, physiognomy, and in the manifestations of the mind." " The one does not exeittde the other," answered the painter. '" certainly did not sit to Apelles: no one cares whether the portraits of great men are good likenesses, if their minds be but alive in them, " continued the first consul. " You teach me the art of painting," exclaimed David ; " indeed, I have not yet considered it in this point of view : you are right : no ! you need not sit ; I bvill present you on the field of battle, sword in hand." " No," said Buonaparte ; " now-a-days, battles are not won with the sword; but paint me sit ting calmly on a spirited horse." David having finished the picture, representing the first con sul on horseback riding over the St. Bernard, pre sented it to him ; who, having looked at it at tentively for a considerable time, turned himself to the artist, with expressions of great approba tion and praise ; then, again looking at the troops that are represented in the picture mixed up with the clouds passing over the mountain, and placed by the painter in the back-ground, according to the rules of perspective, and there-. fore'appearing . to be very small,—=he said, laugh ing, " But, citizen `David, what are yonder little men as large as the shoe of my horse ?—it - 'eau crumble them to dust with one tread." This observation of Buonaparte was not altogether wrong,— Literary Gazette. COBBETT'S 'DEFINITION OF A HAVER SACK.--A soldier's haver-sack means a thing to put his havings into. It is made_ up of two French words, A VOIR and SAC. Allot,' means to have ; when used as a noun, it meal s pro perty, goods, things possessed, or havlngs ; and when a soldier has once got any thing into this sack, be it lamb, or fowl, or goose, the having is very safe, I assure you. A few months before- Lord Eldon- retired from office, he' provided a well-assorted- equity library, which was much needed, for the use of the Chancery bar at Westminster. We understand it was a voluntary gift of his Lordship, and that a printed catalogue of its con tents was submitted to several of the most ex perienced practitioners, with a request that, if any deficiency could be discovered, it might be pointed out, it being the wish of the Learned Lord to render this library as useful as possible. —Literary Chronicle. TO PRESERVE SEEDS.—The following is recommended as a certain preventive:against birds taking seeds out of the ground in gardens, &c. : —Mix together one pound of gas tar, a quarter of a pound of brown spirits of tar, and a quarter of a pound of grease. Into this, dip some shoe maker's thread, or twine, and- draw it several times over the newly-sown beds, supported a few inches from the earth on the tops of sticks.— New Literary Gazette. SINGULAR PROPERTY IN THE HUMAN HAIR.--;Mr. W. Tulley has discovered a singu lar property in almost all (human) hairs, which I do not think has ever been remarked or de scribed. If a hair is drawn between the finger and thumb, from the end to the root, it will be distinctly felt to give a greater resistance and a different sensation to what is experienced when drawn the opposite way; so that, if the hair is rubbed between the fingers, it will only move one way (travelling in the direction of a line drawn from its termination to its origin, from the head or body), so that each extremity m a y b e th us easilyin th r e e o d l a v r e k d , byby theth e touch mystery is ch alone. distinguished, e even microscope. A hair, viewed on a dark-ground as an opaque object,•with a high power not less than that of a lens one-thirtieth of an inch focus, and dully illuininated by a cup, which seems to answer best, is seen td be indented with teeth somewhat resembling those' of a • coarse round rasp, but extremely irregular and rugged; as these incline all in one direction, like those of a common file, viz. from the origin•of the hair to wards its extremity, it sufficiently explains the reason of that' singular property I have described. This is a singular proof Of the acuteness of the sense of feeling ; for the said teeth may be felt much more easily than they can be seen. We may thus understand why a razor will cut a hair in- two much more ,easily when drawn against its teeth than in the opposite direction. Dr. Goring--Quarterly Journal of Science. Dr. G. is mistaken in supposing that the property which he so accurately describes has now been for the first time " discovered." Many are the thou sands who have observed and experimented upon it before him ; and but that, like the object of their admiration, they were rather in the minute order, their experiments would, doubtless, have occupied a more conspicuous place than they do now in the annals of science. i)r. G. directs the hair to be drawn "between the finger and the thumb ;" but school boys and girls will, pro bably, still prefer their old practice of drawing it between the lips, as . possessing greater acutenes.; of touch.—Mechanics' Magazine. week.
