LITERARY NOTICE. _ . The SESSION of PARLIAMENT for MDCCCXXV., exhibiting the state of Parties and Interests, the Debates and Enactments, and the whole Proceedings of both Houses of the British Legislature during that period.—To be con tinued annually. We confidently recommend this Work to our Readers in general as an impartial and compre hensive abridgement of the proceedings of both -Holmes of Parliament during the last Sessions. It is divided into eleven chapters. Time business of Parliament, and the stale of the country, as far as it can be gathered from the reports, sentiments, and arguments of the respective speakers on both sides, are amply represented. The several topics are treated with the attention which their inte rests and -relative importance seem to demand. The speeches of the more prominent Member► of both parties are given without any apparent bias. Perhaps more than a due proportion of space is allotted to theCkTuome Q,CTISTION, particularly as that question may be said to be at rest for the present .; but, as .the tranquillity of Ireland ap pears to be essentially implicated in the re sult, it demanded, of course, a mote ex tended dicusison than others, though of na tional interest. We cannot discover any pro. alinent feature of party spirit, or of servility to Government, in the work, the object of which appears to be " an abstract," but not a " brief chronicle" of political events, and parliamentary discussions. The language is correct, clear, ap propriate, and forcible. The selections from the speeches of the more celebrated parliamentary orators are obviously taken without partiality, and with a due regard to the talents of the speakers, the weight of their arguments, and the importance of the subjects. The APPENDIX con sists of an ALPIIADET/CAL LIST of the COMMONS, with brief notices of the sides which the Mem bers support, and of the interests by which they obtained their seats. And as a proof that the editor, compiler, or author is not devoted to the Government, or to the Opposition, short com ments are introduced on the talents of those who chiefly distinguish themselves in the political are na; and censure or panegyric appear to be equally distributed among them, though perhaps at times with rather too peremptory and decisive an air of authority. Upon the whole, we consider this as a •ery interesting publication, well calculated to afford political ittformation to the community in general, and equally free from party spirit and interested adulation. FOR THE SUN. DECAY OF OLD ENGLISH HOSPITALITY. A gentleman who made a tour through the West of England, recently expressed his regret . in a Morning Paper that he nowhere met with that cordial welcome, and good old English hos pitality, which characterised the country gentry half a century ago. Instead of these, long resi dence in town, and acquaintance with its customs, had induced a habit of strained civility, remote from that frank, gentlemanly deportment, which ought to characterise those who move in this highly respectable and useful sphere of life. — Though there are many exceptions to these corn plaints, we fear that there are also many in stances where they might justly be applied.— This will excite no surprise when we reflect how many of our gentry scarcely consider themselves so sufficiently accomplished till they have " floored a Charley," or taken a part in a boxing-match, or dog-fight. These, however, are amusements which, in a less enlightened age, belonged ex . elusively to the very lowest of mankind ; and we _doubt not it will soon be considered as an abso lute disgrace in any one the least degree removed from that class, to engage in them. To us there is nothing in the world more cheering—nothing which affords us such unmixed pleasure as to see the landlord associating with his tenants, and occa sionally presiding at their festivities—at once the ruler, friend, and guardian, of those beneath him. The picture which the great Addison has drawn of Sir Roger de Coverley, is the beau ideal of what we should wish the country Gentleman to be. There is something irresista illy affecting in the manner in which his progress to chtirch, followed by his admiring tenantry, i 3 described ; and we have often envied the feelings which must have arisen in his breast on such occa sions. If, however, instead of these, are intro duced the cold and suspicious habits of the gaming -table, or the brutalities of the prize-ring, there is an end at once of all right feeling be tween the governing and governed, and all the good old English customs sink into premature .t.eglect. " Thus fares the land by luxury betray'd, In Nature's simplest charms at first array'd; But, verging to decline, its splendours rise, Its vistas strike, its palaces surprise ; While, scourg'd by famine,.frout the smiling land The mourning peasant leads his ltumble band : And, while he sinks, without one arm to save , The country blooms—a garden and a grave !" hut although we have been speaking of the . gentry exclusively, we fear that the. evil has de scended somewhat lower, and that many of the farmers themselves are not characterized by that honest bluntness, awl manly openness, which they formerly posSessed : their daughters, too, wust now be taught to beat the piano -forte, and squall, and, 0 ternpora! 0 mores ! to thread the intricate maZeS of a Juinuet, or dance a quadrille at the county ball ! The dairy and household affairs are thus neglected for accomplishments in which it is not likely they will ever become pro ficient, and which, so far from being praise worthy, are the • bane of rural manners. While engaged in the toils of business, or compelled to endure the InSipidities of a large city, we are always ready to exclaim, with Horace— " 0 rus! quando ego to aspiciam !" but if, when we have done so, instead of that genuine feeling and simplicity which we expect .ed, we find only a repetition of those frivolous amusements which we have left—there is an end at once of all proper distinction between the town .and country. It is always, therefore, with sin cere regret that we perceive the decay of these ancient customs which formerly made the English gentry the most hospitable in the world, and . the English yeomanry at once the stern supporters of _our domestic tranquillity, and the terror of foreign enemies. • Bath, Sept. 19, 1825. W. GENERA T, ELECTION. SOUTH WA RK.—ln the event of a dissolution of Parliament, a powerful contest is expected as likely to take place for Southwark. Mr. Potts, the eminent vinegar merchant, it is currently re ported, will start as a candidate for that borough, in opposition to one of the present Members. SOUTHAMPTON.—The two Members, Sir W. Crespigny and NV. Chamberlayne , Esq., have signified their intention to retire. The present candidates are, A. It. Dottin, Esq., who was un successful last time ; W. A. iNlackinnon, Esq., of Hyde Park-place ; and it is thought H. Mild may, Esq., the son-in-law of A. Baring, Esq., may offer himself. Lord Porchester has been talked of, but does not come forward. STOCKBRIDGE will be warmly contested by two I Gentlemen on the Grosvenor interest ; and by Lord Hertford's interest, represented by Colonel Cook, of the Guards. It is also thought that E. Barham, Esq., the late Lord of the Manor, will offer himself. WINCHESTER. — It is imagined that an attempt will be made against the sitting Members ; but as yet no one is named. TAUNTON.—Mr. \Varre has declared his inten tion of following the example of his colleague, Mr. Baring, in withdrawing himself from the representation of Taunton at the next election. SHAFTESBURY.—A contest against the present Members is expected, but nothing is certain, ILCHESTER.-The influence of Lord Hunting tower will in all probability be opposed by the present Members, who opposed it last election. ELECTION ADDRESS THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, —The following address, published in 1790, may serve as a model for election addresses in 1825, if a General Election is about to take place : " I cannot suppose that at my time of life and length of ser vice you could require or expect personal solicitation ; I am not equal to the fatigue ; and indeed what had I to solicit, but a farther opportunity to serve you and the public, as far as I was able, at the expence of much labour and assiduity ? for certainly my own private advantage was in no sort concerned. " I have ever looked upon the honour of representing a free people, in the manner I have so many years enjoyed it, as the highest I could obtain ; I never desire it on other terms. I will not urge any man to give me a vote that does not proceed from his heart. Look back at my conduct, and see how you have been served ; see whether I have not been forward to pro mote every advantage that the nation has received since 1 have been your Representative—the freeing her Constitution from the dependence in which it was so long held—shortening the duration of Parliaments, which is a proper check on the conduct of the Representative—extending the freedom of trade, a nd en couraging the linen in every branch. In short, every thing that was done or attempted for the advantage of this country had my warmest support. However, if you are of opinion that you can be better served by any other man, avail yourselves of your privilege, and elect him ; far be it from me to wish that the freedom of election should be cramped. I shall neither be jealous of his situation, nor accuse you of ingratitude ; but if inclination, gratitude, or public spir it should induce you to place your confidence again in me, long experience may have convinced you that you will not be deceived. ‘- I have now made known my sentiments, and the grounds on which.! proceed ; nothing remains for me but to wait with respectful submission for your determination. These are the only means by which I shall attempt your favour. Be assured it shall never be laid to my charge that I have corrupted the morals of the country, by using any of the arts too frequent at elections. If I can do the county service, my ambition is gratified ;—I am not the man to injure it by any consideration wkatever. Let my situation in life be what it may, I shall ever remain a steady friend to my country, and never forfeit the cha racter of an honest uncorrupt man, which I thank God I have firmly established. " I am, Gentlemen, " With every sentiment of duty and respect, " Your very faithful and obedient humble servant, • " Dublin; April 17,1790. " W. 1111,OWNLO W.' GENERAL BESSI General BESSIERES was born in the South of France, of low and obscure parentage. his youth, it is gene- rally asserted, was not without its errors, and it was generally reported that he fled his native country to escape the hand of justice. He chose Spain as his asylum, entered into the military service, and held the rank of Captain, when he was arrested on suspicion of forming one of a secret society for establishing a Republic in the Peninsula. Being convicted, he was condemned to death by the Tribunal of Barcelona, but his life was preserved from the following circumstance :—By the laWs of Spain, when an individual is condemned to death, he prepares for the execu tion of the sentence . by three days' prayers and confessions, in a chapel where he is confined, and from which lie is led to the place of execution ; but if by any extraordinary circumstance the prisoner remains in the chapel of expiation beyond the tam fixed, he is pardoned. Bessieres had this happiness ; he afterwards solicked the clemency of the King, and upon a re port made to Ferdinand by M. Bardoxi, the then Minister of the Interior, was pardoned ; but his name was erased from the army lists,• and he was ordered to quit the Spanish territory. Whether Bessieres was fearful of his native country, or whether he still preserved some hope in Spain, is not certain, but he took refuge on the frontiers, where lie led a miserable existence. It was here he resided in 1820, when the events which took place gave him an opportunity of raising and disciplining a number of troops, and with them repaired to the environs of Madrid, in the province of Cuenca. He assumed the rank of Field-Marshal, and wore the uniform, and in this quality commanded the troops under his orders. Towards the end of the campaign, Bessieres had established his head-quarters at Huete, a small town, 20 miles from Madrid. It was here that he struggled against tht Con stitutionalists, and by. his intrepidity astounded their Govern ment. He displayed great firmness and prudence, and suffer ed no violence to be done by his soldiers in the towns and vil lages which he occupied. He was excessively rigid in his mode of life : slept but seldom, and trusted no one, having been seve ral times on the point of being betrayed to the Constitutionalists. The removal of the Government to Seville, then to Cadiz, `and the arrival of the French troops, put a stop to or deranged all the projects of Bessieres ; but lie held out his position at Huete till the entry of the French into Madrid. The king, on his return, received Bessieres, and confirmed his former rank. Since that time he constantly resided at Madrid, and always appeared at Court, where, however, 're was little noticed, undoubtedly on account of his origin, and became very discontented with the state of things, and at seeing men preferred before him, but still always appearing devoted to Ferdinand, and accompanied his Majesty in 1824 to the waters of Sacedon. Perhaps Bes sieres had secret motives in making this voyage. The King traversed a part of the province of Cuenca, the theatre of lies sieres' efforts in the Royalist cause, and the populace spoke of him with enthusiasm. All this assiduity on the part of 13es sieres towards the King, and his conduct at the head of the Royalist party apparently meritP'l grentcr l n roui than tie enjoyed. But erdinand did net even besosur ,szs blot the cross of St. reitlinand ; and there is little doubt but dis content and ambition were the cause of the revolt of this in veterate Itoyalist, for which lie suffered, and which Ferdinan d might have avoided, had he, by an act of common generosity, bestowed on him those honours which his attachment to his person and his services undoubtedly merited.—(FrenchPaper.) A DUEL, which terminated fatally, took place on Saturday, at College-hill Green, two miles from Epping, on the Chelmsford-road. The parties were unknown at the place of meeting, but the deceased turned out to be a Gentleman of the name of AGLINGTON, who was conveyed to the Half Moon, towards Chelmsford, where he died on Monday. Ile was attended by Dr. Hughes, of St. George's-fields, who was on a shooting visit at Mr. Iloldsworth's near the spot. The survivor is not known, or at least his name is a secret. The deceased came to the ground with a friend a post-chaise, and the survivor and another in a gig, and the affair was seen by some labourers only. The wound was on the left side, below the breast, and the ball had passed through slantingly. * s . . i5,, , y1 1 ," * ,: " , . -_-_---1.-.._ ;., V , _ l ( \ -- '- --- * ,„, :-..-,_, / , - 7 tA, nilt \ * * MASONIC NOTICES FOR NEXT WEEK.

The Lord Bishop having ap pointed to lay the first stone of the new church in this parish— an event most anxiously expected by our parishioners, and which his Lordship has entered into with every feeling of his heart—the gentlemen of the committee made the usual arrange ments for the completion of this most impressive, and to all who think seriously of the religious intention of it, this highly important ceremony. To see the foundation begun of a building to be consecrated to the service of God, which shall receive hundreds of Chris tians, who for many, many years have been prevented from joining in the public assemblies of the people in adoration and praise of their Almighty Father ; to look with the eye of faith and hope into that future period when thousands yet unborn, of every rank and degree, shall join in prostrating themselves before the throne of Grace, in praying to the common Lord and Father of all, in pouring out their miseries and griefs be fore their Saviour; in joining with Christian charity and in mutual forgiveness of injuries at the feast of the holy table— what ought to be the frame of our minds on the contemplation of this solemn event ? Do not our hearts burn within us, when we think of the blessings which are in prospect ? And shall we not give our serious and hearty amen to the admirableprayer which our own Bishop offered up to the throne of God on this occasion, so interesting to the feelings of all who value the com forts of religion, and the inestimable blessing of being admitted into the house of prayer ?

During which his Honour the President, the Lord Bishop, the Provin cial Grand Master, &c., moved up the lane towards where the stone was to be laid. %Viten every preparation had been made f A orth ig e b e t e y, remony, the Lord Pishop, standing upon a platform , most devoutly offered up the following prayer:—" Lord God Almighty, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy, look down from Heaven, thy dwelling-place, and bless the un dertaking of thy humble servants. We desire to raise our edi flee to Thy honour and glory, and the good of our fellow-crea tures, wherein high and low, rich and poor, bond and free, may meet together to worship their common Father and Redeemer. Incline, we beseech Thee, every heart to this work of piety and love ; give skill to our architect, and strength to our labourers ; and grant, if it be Thy good pleasure, that all we assembled this day before Thee, may live to behold the completion of our work in its solemn dedication to Thee our God.

Graft in our hearts the love of . thy name ; increase in us true religion ; nourish us with all good ness; and of thy great mercy so keep us in the same, that per fectly joined together in the same mind, and in the sam e judg ment, and built up on the foundation of the Prophets and Apostles, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone,s.ve may grow up an holy temple in Thee, an habitation of Gc d, t i h ,o r r o d u , g i h n t w he ho S s i e )ir m it o , s f t or p t e h r e fe s ct akperoalyerJweseuscoCnlcilruisdteTolui Thy i S m o p n e , r o fe u c r t addresses. Our Father, &c." The Rev. Mr. Garnett read the inscription on the plate : a copy of which, with the translation, we here subjoin : D. 0. M Ilujus. }Edict. Beatce. Marire. Virgini. Dicatte. Impensis.

To God, Most Good, Most Great, William, Bishop of the Caribbee Islands, laid the first stone of this church, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, constructed partly at the expence of Great Britain, and partly of this colony ; the President .and Legislative Body attending ; and the prayers of every one fa vouring it, 25th day of July, A.D. 1825. The Lord Bishop having received the plate from Mr. Gar , nett, and the coins from the Treasurer of the Committee, de scended the steps, deposited the plate and coins in their proper places ; and the Grand Master presenting his Lordship with the silver trowel and cement, and laid the cement and returned to the platform. The stone was then gradually lowered, during which the children of the Central School chanted the 100th Psalm, accompanied by the band of the 93d Regiment. Then the Lord Bishop went down, with the Grand Master, who ex amined the stone with masonic ceremonies. The Bishop con cluded with the blessing, " The peace of God," &c., and re tired with the procession to the temple, where the model, a beautiful piece of workmanship, was exhibited for the inspec tion of the public. The Royal Regiment, on the procession moving off, presented arms, the bands struck up " God save the King, and the Artillery again saluted. This novel and gratifying spectacle attracted universal attention. So many persons, not only of this parish, but from all parts of the country, have scarcely at any period within our recol lection been seen in this town. The arrangements were highly creditable to the Committee; to the zealous and in defatigable labours of the Secretary, particularly, we arc grealy indebted. Every thing was conducted with perfect re gularity and order, and we were pleased to see that the im mense crowd of negroes behaved with great decorum. Through the whole line of procession from St. Michael's-row to the Old Church-yard, the balconies and windows of the houses were li terally filled with spectators, principally ladies and children.— Using the language of the English reporters on such occasions, we may say, probably with great truth, " all the beauty and fashion" of the land was concentrated yesterday in this town. The attention of .the gentlemen of his Majesty's Army and Navy was very gratifying. The masonic procession was very numerous, and the Royal Regiment, greatly to their credit, made a most respectable muster. PRICE. OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock • shut 3 per Cent. Red. shut 3 per Cent.

SOLEM QUIS DICEItE, FALSUM AUDEAT • LON DON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1025. The Paris Papers have been received, hut are entirely without any interesting intelligence. We have, however, selected a few paragraphs, which we subjoin : (From the Etolle, dated Tuesday, Sept. !O.) CO)ISTANTINOPLE, AUG. 23. Th• Divan has.received the news of the act by which the Greeks place their independence and their future existence under the exclusive protection of Great Britain. It is also informed of the augmentation of the English naval force in the Gulf of Napoli, and which now amounts to four frigates, two corvettes, and two brigs; of the expected arrival of two other frigates and a corvette to reinforce the Frcnch ,juadron : and lastly, of the arrival in the Archipelago of an American squadron, composed of a ship of the line, a frigate, and two corvettes. It is natural that all these.circnmatances'excite many reflections. - (From the Journal du Commerce of Monday.) We have not received to-day any direct correspondence from Madrid, but letters from Bayonne of the 13th announces that there was nothing new from that quarter. We also learn that the famous camp only consists of four regiments, two of which are perforsning manoeuvres, two battalions are in barracks. and the rest in caserns. Up to this period it is only a camp of in struction. There is no symptom of any Intention to pass the frontiers.

The German Mail, which arrived this day, has brought us the Allgemeine Zeitung to the 15th September, and the Nuremberg Correspondent to ]4th. The latter, however, does not contain any news Ivllatever. The intelligence from the ilag ga mein• Zeilung is intereatin;, as tending to in volve this country deeper in the Greek affairs than has been hitherto supposed. By the accounts subjoined it will be seen that an opinion is enter tained that, the operations of IBRAHIM PAC" . have been impeded by the conduct pursued by Commodore HAMILTON. The supineness of the Turkish General would seem to warrant such a conclusion, when coupled with the dis tracted state in which the ill-fated town of NaP l ` is represented as involved. Discussions w ith the English and French Ambassadors at Cnust ePti , nople, with reference to the Commodore and General ROCHE, are it seems going forward This latter person, it is added, will be recalled. An absurd rumour was abroad as to the apPer' N ance of an American squadron before NaP° li9 which had tendered its services to the Greek Government, on condition that England should be discarded. The story, however, i s far to° improbable to deserve a remark. CON STAITTINOPLE, All 6. 20.—(8y way of B . irrhar fsl ' ) We continue to receive from the Archipelago unfavourabilie accounts of the distracted state of Greece; discord among t Chiefs of the Insurgents is the order of the day. The E n g i l. Agents exert themselves in vain to induce the G reeks to co ncor t and to add to the confusion an American squadron appeared at Napoli di Romania, and, according to a very general 0 1 ' 1 ' 1 . 14 improbable report) is said to afford assistance to the Greece, on the condition that they would not enter into any'closer cont, nection with England.
