" which it ilows, carrying away trees and walls of the larg and great est solidity. Two bridges at Givors, one cted for the _,-- ot tare railroad, have been carried away by the torrent, ' and dice'. railroad is stopped at various parts. :Sixty boats, some of them laden, have sunk in the harbour of Givors ; and it is said that several of the inhabitants of the town have been drowned in their beds by the inundation. The river Azer gue, in the upper part of the department, has broken its bounds, and swept away the produce of the adjoining lands. About 7 o'clock in the evening of the 26th ult., after a remarkably fine day, a storm fell at St. Symphorien sur-Coise, convert* the river Coise, and even the tmaller streams, into lakes and torrents, spreading de. struction and .terror in every direction around them, as the waters rose no less than twenty-five feet above their ordinary level. The tanneries and dye-houses on the banks of the Orzon were inundated and destroyed within the space of two hours, and twenty families rendered almost destitute. The Pont Neuf and Pont Collard are entirely razed to the ground, and the Pont Francais, at Couzon, and the Pont St. Etienne, at Anse, near Symphorien, so much injured as to be impassable, while flocks of sheep and herds of cattle have been drowned. A child only three years old. which its unhappy father saw fall into the waves while he was holding two others in his arms taken from the same bed, perished. At Lyons a man was struck senseless by the lightning, but afterwards recovered, and a woman with a child in her arms was burned. At St. Etienne a house was set on fire, but the fall of rain was so heavy that the flames were extinguished without using the engines. The bridge at Ratarieux was carried away, and the farm of a M. Bon terieux was so suddenly inundated that five children, with their mother and grandmother, who resolved to save them or share their fate, perished in the overwhelming flood. The husband saved himself by climbing a tree, where he was found the next day almost lifeless. The amount of the damage done in the town of St. Etienne is beyond all cal culation.. St. Chamond has also suffered very severely, and the damage sustained at Reice-de-Gier is estimated at up wards of 2,000,000 fr. No. 13,100. • LONDON, THUISI)AY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1834. PRICE 7D.

The above eminent Idedical Gentlemen have given the most flattering Certificates of the great value and superiority of WOOD HOUSE'S /ETHERIAL ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER, which is particularly recommended to all Cold, Phlegmatic, Weak, and Nervous Constitutions. It is certain in affording instant relief in Cholera Morbus, spasms, cramps, flatulence, hysterics, heart burn, hiccup, loss of appetite, sensation of fulness, pain and oppres sion after meals ; also those pains of the stomach and bowels which arise from gouty flatulencies ; digestion, however much impaired, is restored to its pristine state by the use of this essence for a short time, if taken in tea, coffee, ale, beer, porter, cider, or wine ; it corrects their flatulent tendency. To eulogise the merits of this invaluable article would be superfluous, when the Faculty are its guarantees. This Essence is prepared only by Decimus Woodhouse, operative Chemist, IS, King William-street, New London-bridge; and sold by him wholesale and retail, in bottles 2s. 6d., 4s. 6d., and 10s. 6d. each ; Sanger, 150, Oxford- street ; and all respectable Medicine venders in town and country. THE ARMY. COURT-MARTIAL.-MUTINY AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER. Another Court-martial has been held in Chatham Barracks, for the trial of Private Matthew Quin, of the 3d Regiment of Foot, or Buffs, who was arraigned on the following charges :- 1. For disobedience of orders when on St. Mary's Guard, in Chatham Garrison, in refusing to take off his accoutrements preparatory to being made a prisoner for misconduct, when ordered to do so by Sergeant William Godman, of the Royal Marines, commander of the said guard, on the before-mentioned date, and for making use of highly insubordinate expressions on the same occasion to the said Sergeant William Godman, when in the execution of his duty. 2. For, after having been made a prisoner, as stated in the first charge, seizing his firelock from the arm-rack, and for being with his pouch open, and his hand upon the ammuni tion, in the act of preparing to load his firelock with ball car tridge for evil purposes ; his design being corroborated by the circumstance of his having previously said in his barrack room, immediately on the occasion of the recent murder of a sergeant of the 50th Regiment, who was shot by a prisoner of the same corps in the garrison, " That it served the sergeant right; that he wished it had been some of the officers that had been shot ; and that he would never leave the garrison till he had shot some one himself ; " or words to that effect. 3. For outrageous conduct when detected in the act speci fied in the second charge, in refusing to surrender his fire-lock when ordered to do so by Sergeant William Godman, and for making use of abusive and threatening expressions on the same occasion to the said Sergeant William Godman, and to the other non-commissioned officers of the guard in question, when in the execution of their duty. The Court having found the priso ner G u i lty of the whole of the three charges preferred against him, which being a breach of the Articles of War, does therefore sentence him the said prisoner, Private Matthew Quin, of the 3d Regiment of Foot, or Buffs, to be transported as a felon for the term of his natural life. The General Commanding-in-Chief having laid the pro ceedings before the King, his Majesty was pleased to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the C ourt, and to command that the prisoner be accordingly transported to New South Wales.

CHART, EAST SUTTON, AND SUTTON VALENCE.--The hops were never known to be better in quality, although these parishes arc proverbial for good quality hops. Picking e x _ pected to be general in about ten T. twelve days. MAIDSTONE.—The hops in this neighbourhood are still thriving rapidly, and promise, in good g roun d s , as large a crop as last year. The single hops are of a larger size than has been recollected for years, and in some places picking has already commenced. The hops fall in well, and are generally full of condition. OTHAM.—The hops in this neighbourhood are looking re markably well. Picking is expected to commence in eight or ten days hence. ' TieEntiasT.—The hops in Ticehurst, Wadhurst, B urwash and Etchingham, which were not injured by th e blight, are now getting to maturity, but the blighted grounds are back ward in coming into hop, and the anticipation is eight cwt. per acre on an ayes age.—Maidstone Gazette. MARDEN.—The hop plantations in th i s neighbourhood have improved beyond expectation since the suitable warm show ers • even those grounds that were black, and considered hopeless, will now probably produce two bags per acre, as young branches are looking healthy. growing rapidly, and full of hop.

Kesterton, coach-builder, Camberwell 1 lb Upwards of 200 regular thieves are supposed to have visited Gravesend by the several steamers a few Sundays back. The Chamber opened at a quarter to eleven o'clock, and the proceedings of the preceding day having been read and approved, the committee charged with the examination of the draught of the criminal code reported to the Estate that they had agreed to commence their labours with the consideration of that part of the draught which relates to the formation of causes and the course of proceeding. Senor Lopez, one of the committee, said, that after a prolonged examination they had come to the determination of commencing with the fourth book. The reason of adopting this resolution might easily be conceived. The criminal code and that'of the instruction of processes were entirely distinct. The scale of crimes and punishments had no necessary connection with the legal system of pro cess ; hence it was found that every nation of mo dern times had acknowledged the advantage of em bodying them in different codes. The committee had looked in proposing this order of examination to the urgent and the necessary, and these principles, they thought, pointed at the formation of a code of pro cesses which should unite precision to justice, in accord ance with the intelligence of the age. Such had been the rule of all legislators, to consult the rights which men should enjoy in private life, and to defend innocence from calumny and violence. Every criminal code, a celebrated author had said, ought as far as possible to relieve the innocent from all dread, to deprive the guilty of all hope, and to render the judges incapable of committing injustice. The subject naturally being of great extent, embracing as it did a great variety of considerations, would require a protracted exami nation and a considerable portion of time to bring it to a conclusion. The committee had every wish to present the result of their labours to the Estate with all expedition, and he (Senor Lopez) could assure the Chamber that those la bours would not be built upon vain theories, but on those solid grounds which would - corroborate individual security, by freeing it from persecution, calumny, and the abuse of power. The report of the committee was then put to the vote and approved of. After some conversation, a discussion arose on the sub ject of the cholera rnorbus, in the course of which Martinez de la Rosa gave some account of the measures adopted by the Government to prevent the spread of that malady. In Madrid, he remarked, the good effect of the precautions had been more observable than in other parts of the coun try which were not so immediately under the eye of the Government. The draught of a law on the responsibility of the judges having been read, The President of the Council of Ministers, in the ab sence of the Minister for Grace and Justice, said that the Guvernment congratulated themselves on having complied on this subject with the desire expressed by the Procura dores in their address on the speech from the throne. Her Majesty was sensible of the necessity of organizing the ju dicial power on solid bases. If it was necessary that the judges should be invested with a sufficient degree of inde pendence to serve as a shield against the caprices or arbi trary interference of the executive authority, it was not less necessary that they should be subject to a severe respon sibility. In order to solve the difficult problem of recon ciling these opposite objects, her Majesty's Government appointed a committee, the result of whose labours is now submitted to the Procuradores in the present draught. The draught was ordered to be printed.and distributed, and was in the mean time referred to the Committee on the Criminal Code. The Observator of Madrid continues to support, not merely the financial scheme of M. de Toreno, but the more severe one which is expected from the committee. " Let us," says this journal of the 24th ult., "go back to the ori gin of the Royal loans. To what are we indebted for the creation of these loans ?—To the invasion of 1823. What imposed upon Spain the necessity of contracting them ? The invasion of 1823. What ruined our credit, our re sources, and our commerce ? What put weapons into the hands of the working classes ? What was it that per mitted tyranny and fanati,i.la .to rend the heart of the country ?—The invasion of 1R23.., Whenever France has been reproached with this impious war, which posterity will cover with obloquy, what was the reply ?—That it was not France which made war upon Spain, but the slavery of the Holy Alliance, their common enemy, and no reparation was due from the country to Spain for an unjust war carried on in opposition to its wishes and its interests. We will say, in return, it was not Spain that contracted the loans sub sequently to 1823. It was the slaves of despotism, ourcommon enemies, and we owe no reparation to leaders whose contracts were made in opposition to our will and our interests. We must admit that it was France which overthrew our Constitutional Government, with French money, French arms, French soldiers, and French generals, or we must udmit that it was not Spain which contracted the Royal loans. It is impossible to escape this dilemma. Spain will refund the loans when France shall have repaired the misfortunes and the injuries inflicted by her invasion. What was the answer of the French Go vernment when the citizens complained of being ruined by the refugal to recognise the Cortes Bonds ?—That nobody was to blame but themselves ; that they should have fore seen the fate of their debtor • that it was no t a C a bi ne t . ques tion ; that the Spanish Government was, as far as con cerned the loan, to be considered a s a b an ki ng -h ouse on l y , and that France could not mix itself up with matters of this description. Let the Government give the same an swer now to the holders of Royal S ecur iti es ." Th e Ob scrvador of the 25 th says :—" The French journals no longer manifest the same hostility to our finan c i a l situa tion. They probably begin to perceive that their cries and their abuse can in no respect influence the measures of jus tice which our Chambers are about to adopt." Th e Ob nie 6n s serv ator, resuming this important qu es ti on i n it s num b er o f t Finance with i gnorance an d b a d f a i t h , go the length of that if the Ch am b er s h ou ld a d opt hi s pro position, France ce will empl oy f orce to o b ta i n j ust i ce of the Spanish Government. If th ese sense l ess morta l s, who a charged to propagate such absurd reports, were summoned to quote the treaties which bind the two Governments on this question, they would assuredly be grea tly embarrassed. We must again repeat, that in 1823 a foreign army came into Spain in order to destroy the national sovereignty ; that the Spanish Government, deprived of all credit and all consideration, was constrained to employ agents whose immorality was equal to the task of wresting money from the capitalists, and who, after having stripped unnumbered victims, could only hope to escape the ven geance of the law by saying, with Petit-Jean, Il est vrai q'ua Monsieur je rendais quelque chose.' As the point at issue is merely a question of private interests, we shall here advert to the principles which should serve as a guide. M. de Villele, under the influence of the pa r ty wich over threw the constitution, authorized by a Royal ordinance of the 12th of November, 1823, the negotiation of Spanish loans, but with this qualification Considering that the permission to quote the public securities of foreign Govern ments at the Paris Exchange does not imply on the part of Go vernment an approval of the Said loans, or an obliga tion to intervene in favour of such of our subjects as may voluntarily invest their capital in them,' &c. Before M. de Villele had promulgated these principles, the late Lord Castlereagh had announced to the English speculators, who had ventured more than 100,0001. sterling in South Ame rica, that whatever might be the fate of these speculations, the G overnment would become no party to the question. Messrs. D up i n an d Odill on Barrot have on other occasions express e d t h e i r approval of these principles. What, Nothing—absolutelybecomes o f suc h a b surd reason i ngs ? Nothing—absolutely nothing --except th a t men, who are powerful by their wealth and social position, employ their influence with a view to constrain our Government to impose enormous burdens on Spain, .for the purpose of consolidating in their bands the treasure which they have scandalously obtained. The question being thus reduced to its proper terms, it re mains for the Chambers, in their wisdom and patriotism, to examine whether the Government be or be not legally bo und,—whether public interest can possibly require the sanction of such great iniquity,—and, finally, whether the rejection of these engagements can in any measure compro mise the national honour."

WESLEY." (From the Papers of Tuesday.) A meeting of the holders of Spanish securities was held on Saturday in the Rue de la Victoire, No. .52., when the following resolution was agreed upon :—" The undersigned holders of Spanish Rentes, naturally alarmed by the enor mous depreciation which these securities have recently un dergone, and fearfully anticipating the fatal consequences of the course which the Spanish Government has just taken, have assembled in order to deliberate on the means of averting the ruin which awaits them. Considering the numerous meetings which have taken place in London and in other cities—considering that the proposals of reduction made by the Spanish Government do not affect the debts contracted towards the English and French Cabinets, doubtless because these Cabinets would not hesitate to enforce their rights, but that they sacrifice without mercy the other creditors, who, being insulated in re spect to each other, are unable to dispose of a force like that of the French and English Governments, for the purpose of securing what is due to them,—considering that the bringing into one focus all the separate individual claims, whether of the Exchange of Paris or elsewhere, would create a strength of opinion calculated to enlighten the Spanish Government respecting the disastrous effects of its proposals to its creditors,—it has appeared, after long discussion, most highly expedient to appoint a mandatory of well-known capacity, and one whose high social position would enable him to exercise a powerful influence on the measures of the Spanish Government. Several names having been successively proposed, that of M. Mauguin, member of the Chamber of Deputies, formerly batonnier of the Order of Advocates and President of the Committee of Delegates from the Colonies, appeared to obtain general approbation. Some persons having been to inquire of that gentleman whether he would consent to accept a mission of this sort, M. Mauguin answered that he must affix two conditions to his acceptance of it. The first was, that the act should be approved by a large number of the holders of Spanish securities ; a'nd the second, that his functions should be gratuitously performed. M. Mauguin does not hesitate on account of the necessity, perhaps indispensable, of going to Madrid to realize the wishes of the undersigned. The conditions of M. Mauguin have been accepted, and it has been decided that copies of the present resolution shall be made for the purpose of being submitted to all the holders of Spanish securities for their signatures."—Messager des Chambres. Several of the journals having mentioned rumours of a new Cabinet being about to be formed, of which-M. Dupin as well as Marshal Gerard, would form a part, the Impar tial states that it has it in its power to declare that these reports are at least premature. " It is known," says the Quotidienne, " that the British Government has sent Colonel Caradoc to the head-quarters of Rodil, the official character of whose mission is not clearly shown. The Russian Cabinet, however, has thought itself sufficiently warranted by the example to despatch to the head-quarters of the King, Don Carlos, a staff officer, charged with a mission similar to that of Colonel Caradoc. The Russian officer has arrived at his destination." The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 30th ult. has the fol lowing from Bayonne of the 28th :—" The Junta of Navarre, in the night of the 25th, not thinking it safe in Elisondo, retired into the Aldudes, having left Don Carlos, who then occupied Eguy. During the night a detachment of Queen's troops and some urbans marched to that point, but the Junta, having received timely intimation, was obliged to fly, and is said to be gone to Maya. Two soldiers of the Royal Guard, made prisoners by the Carlists, entered into the service as guides of Zumalacarregui, but on a recen t occa sion, finding th emse l ves near th e frontier, they deserted, and were brought under escort into our town. They beg to be allowed to return to Spain and enter into the Queen's service. One Latemendi, who had the intention of assassinating Don Carlos, has been shot. ~ He confessed, on going to the place of execution, that he passed through this town. In the pursuit of the insurgents Rodil causes all their stragglers whom he captures to be immediately shot." The Memorial des Pyren&s of Pau has the following from Behobia of the 25th ult. :—" Erin.). of cannon in the direction of St. Sebastian has be en heard since yesterday. We are in hourly expectation of some arrival from that quarter, by which we shall learn whether any engagement has taken place between the troops of Rodil and Don' Car los, who has returned to that point. The Constitutional troop crown all the heights of the Bastan. El Pastor has received a reinforcement, and has now under his orders about 5,000 men, and has been instructed to pursue Don Carlos. There are nearly 1,000 insurgents at Urdach. They seem to have assembled for the purpose of diverting the attention of the enemy, for this war of guerillas is more particularly a war of stratagem and cunning. It is more than ever reported that the Pretender is greatly discouraged by the slow progress of his affairs. He expected a general rise in his favour, more especially in the interior. He is so much the more grieved at his position, for, if he should not be able to advance before the winter, he will at that period be under the necessity of establishing himself in the midst of the mountains. Repose would be more fatal to him than his wandering life ; in the former his army would be reduced by desertion." This journal adds—" We learn from Al dudes, under date of the 24th, that Rodil is actively pur suing the insurgents. His advanced guard is at Arragos, a village of the valley of Bastan, situated at half a league from Elisondo. The Junta have evacuated the latter place, and are concealed in some barn among the mountains which separate us from the valley. It was presumed that last night Don Carlos slept at Eguy." A letter from St. Jean- Pied-de-Port, of the 25th, says—" Yesterday and to-day numerous detachments of the 18th Light Infantry marched to the different passes of the frontiers of the two cantons of St. Jean Pied-de-Port and of Baygorry. This movement was called for by that of the belligerent troops of Navarre. On the 23d, Rodil occupied Elisondo with several batta lions. Don Carlos and his partisans had, a few hours be fore, evacuated this little town and the whole valley of Bas tan, from which places they went to Burguetta. It is asserted that the' Pretender slept at Eguy, and that yester day he was at Roncesvaux." The Augsburg Gazette of the 29th ult. contains the fol lowing from the banks of the Danube, dated the wth " The rebellion which has broken o u t aga i nst the dominion of the Egyptians in Syria, in which the Turkish inhabitants took a part, naturally excited in Constantinople an anxious desire to profit by the opportunity of overthrowing Mehe met Ali, but all the European diplomatists have remon strated against this project. The Minister of Russia even declared that an attack of the Sultan on Meheme t Ali would not entitle him to claim the assistance of 11;s Court by virtue of the treaty of July 8, 1833, which was oniy of a defensive nature. This declaration, supported by pacific counsels, has been successful in changing the resolutions of the Sultan. This unanimity of the Imperial Court and those of Paris and London augurs well, and must show the futi lity of all the prophecies of war, and the falsehoods of ma levolent insinuations respecting the intentions of Russia." The same journal has the following of the 19th ult., from Rome L--" Since the disastrous events occasioned at Madrid by the appearance of the cholera, when so many priests were assassinated by the people, we begin to look upon Spanish affairs in a new light. It was before imagined that the only enemies to the church were the Government and the Libe rals. There now seems to be a tendency towards reconcilia tion with the Queen Regent, who has expressed to the Holy See her regret at what has occurred. Our Diario has ex aggerated the number of priests who have perished. The Queen is said to have solicited the Popes consent to a mo derate reform of the clergy of Spain, and a recommendation to that body on the part of the head of the church to ac knowledge and obey the Government. The Queen under takes to protect the property of the church. The renewed appearance of the cholera in so many towns has excited ap prehensions lest it should be propagated in Italy, and mea sures of precaution have been taken. The spacious palace of Latran had already been destined for an hospital by the late Pope, but the epidemic not having at that period de dared itself here the preparations w ere suspen d ed. It is expected that shortly all ships coming from Spain and France will be subjected to quarantine ; even now, certifi cates of health are required for passing the frontiers." The Swabian Mercury gives the following from the banks of the Vistula, dated August 18 :—" Hitherto no confis cation has been made within the kingdom of Poland, pro perly so called. The estates and effects of Prince Czar torysky, and the other Polish nobles, who, in consequence of their participation in the insurrection, have fled into foreign countries, still remain under sequestration only, which gives rise to a hope that in case at a future day these personages should be pardoned, their property will be re stored either to themselves or to their heirs. On the other hand, however, we are assured that all the property seized within the Polish provinces that had been united to Russia has been confiscated. The amount in value has been stated at 100,000,000 rubles, but this estimate appears to be greatly exaggerated." The departmental papers continue to give distressing ac counts of the disasters occasioned in different parts of the country by violent storms, from which great loss of property, and in many instances loss of life, has ensued. Inth: f neighbourhood of Lyons, the sm a ll r i ver Giers, which all CURIOUS TRADITIONS RESPECTING SIR FRANCIS DRAKE. According to the popular traditions of the western coun ties, it was not by his skill as an engineer, and the muni ficent expenditure of the wealth which he had so daringly obtained, that Drake supplied Plymouth with fresh water ; but by mounting his horse, riding about Dartmoor till he came to a spring sufficiently copious for his design, then wheeli ng round, pro nounc i ng some mag i cal words, and gal loping back into the town, with t4e stream in full flow, and forming its own channel at the horse's heels. Nor was it with the Queen's ships that he defied and baffled the invin cible armada, but by taking a piece of wood and cutting it in pieces over the side of his own vessel, when every chip as it fell into the sea became a man-of-war. There is an other version of this miracle --that he was playing at kales (or skittles) on the Hoe at Plymouth, when tidings came that the Spanish fleet was sailing into the harbour, and that he heard the news without the slightest emotion, and played out his game. But when that was ended he called for a block of wood and an axe, bared his arms, chopped the block into smaller pieces, and threw them into the sea, when every piece became a fine ship, and presently formed a fleet, by which the enemy were attacked and destroyed. To sail round the world was, in the popular belief, an ad venture of the most formidable kind, and not to be per formed by plain sailing, but by reaching the end of this round flat earth, and there shooting the gulf, which is the only passage from one side of the world to the other. Drake shot the gulf one day ; when on the other side, he asked his men if any of them knew where they were ? A boy made answer that he knew, and that they were just then under London Bridge ; upon which, stung by jealousy, Drake exclaimed, " Hast thou, too, a devil ? If I let thee live, there will then be one greater man than myself ;" and with that he threw him overboard. When Sir Francis left home to embark on this long voyage, upon taking leave of his wife, he told her that if he did not return with in a certain number of years, she might conclude him to be dead, and consider herself at liberty to take a second husband. One version fixes the term at seven years, another at ten. During those years, Madam Drake, though assailed by many suitors, remained true as Pene lope to her absent lord ; but after the term had expired she accepted an offer. One of Drake's ministering spirits, whose charge it was to convey to him any intelligence in which he was nearly concerned, brought him the tidings. Immediately he loaded one of his great guns, and fired it right down through the globe on one side, and up on the other, with so true an aim, that it made its way into the' church between the two parties most concerned, just as the marriage service was beginning. "It comes from Drake!" cried the wife to the now unbrided bridegroom ; " he is alive, and there must be neither troth nor ring between thee and me." This is the Devonshire tradition of the " old warrior," as they call him, and his lady. The story in So mersetshire is, that as they were on their way to the church a huge round stone fell from the sky, close by the intended bride, and alighted upon the train of her gown. She said, " it came from her husband," and immediately turned back ; and it was not long before lie returned, and, imitating Guy Earl of Warwick, asked alms of her at his own door in dis guise ; a smile betrayed that he was telling a feigned tale, and the faithful wife recognised him and fell upon his neck. It is said that the stone still remains upon the estate where it fell ; that it is there used as a weight upon the harrow ; and is so well contented with this usage, unce remon i ous as for so ext raor di nary a relic it may be deemed, that if it be removed from the estate, it always returns thither, no per son knows how.—Cabinet Cyclopvdia.—Southey's Naval History. WEBSTER, THE AMERICAN ORATOR. Daniel Webster is the son of a New Hampshire farmer. He was sent to Dartmouth College in Vermont, with his elder brother, at the usual age ; where he was considered absolutely incapable of comprehending a lesson. His elder brother (who is now an inferior state judge) was the first scholar of his year, took the first honours, and was ushered into the world as a man of irresistible talent. Daniel re turned home in disgrace, and went to work to his father's woods as a common labourer. He passed two or three years thus ; and then, to the surprise of every body, and with the opposition of his family, he undertook the study of the law. His first plea undeceived his friends. He soon became known, and was sent to the legislature of his own state ; and afterwards removed to Boston, the capital of New England, where, as a lawyer, he carried everything before him. He joined the aristocratic party in politics, and was the leader of the Adams party when Jackson suc ceeded in obtaining the Presidency. Though his party fell, however, he held his own place with the people, and he is still considered throughout America the first stater man and the most gifted man we ever had. He has of late years distinguished himself more than ever by his mas terly expositions of the constitution. As a member of the Senate of Cong ress his ser v i ces are i nva l ua bl e ; an d t h e need that i s fet of his mind in his present position is the only thing that would interfere with his advancement to the Presidency. In person he is strongly built, with a head set on his shoulders like that of a Hercules. His face is the most extraordinary one I have ever seen. He is dark. with jet black hair, an immense forehead, lambent, deep-set eye, heavy, lowering brows, a mouth of a kind of sculp tured strength, yet of great beauty, faultless teeth, a form like an archdevil, and a smile like an archangel. His sob riquet among the opposite party is " the god-like man," a phrase which has been applied to him ever since the com mencement of his political career. As Coleridge says of Southey, "he possesses, but is not possessed by his genius." No man ever had his powers so completely tnder command. At a moment's warning, the vast stores of his mind are ready, and the most impromtu speech rolls from his tongue in perfect composition. He is generally calm, always logi cal, enchains the attention of every listener by the driest argument, and has a voice of all compass, and a manner of the most singularly mixed grace and power. His eloquence, when he warms, is perfectly overpowering, and then he comes out with a knowledge of the poetical, which yo* would think impossible from the severe cast of his mind. He is a charming table companion, and in private Welke' most naturally elegant and fascinating man I ever knew. No man so felicitous at a compliment : no man so gracious and winning. The women adore him. Abroad, however, he is the stern, plain dressed, grave republican ;. and the common man who passes him in the street thinks he eau read the cares and responsibilities of the whole United States government on his great brow. Never was a man so formed for universal popularity.—Law Magazine- • The keeper of a coun t ry i nn , a f ter ex t o lling in an advertisement the salubrity of his surrounding neighbourhood, concludes with this equivocal and ominous awouncement,....

On Saturday last, a girl natma Ferguson, with h er niece, about five or six years of a g e, met a shocking death ill a pit at Borrowstonness, r:, seems this most ill-starred young woman had been pr , ,,claimed to a lad upon the previous Sun. day, and was to have been " cried out" on Sabbath last, but as a custom is observed in that quarter among the colliers, that of " the cries,"s that no one should work during the this unfortunate female attracted general notic e f or hi s i ndus . trious habits in attending the pit regularly since he r b e t rot h. ment.
