Subjoined are resoluti9ns agreed to by the Weavers' Com. mittee : " Inverness-shire, kith August, 183:3. " Dear Sir,—l regret I did not receive your letter, which has followed me here, before leaving London. At the same time it would have been impossible to have taken any step, if one should be considered advisable on the subject to which it refers, in the present session of Parliament. However bad and injurious in its effects on the industrious classes the half-pay apprentice system may be, I fear there is no legal provision to protect those who think they may benefit from it, engaging in it. The law passed in the present session, regulating the hours of labour for children, which is equally applicable to the silk as to the cotton manufacture, may to a certain degree con. troul the practice; and if that should not be effectual in pro tecting the journeymen from the injury they now sustain, I shall be happy to convey any representations they may consider it expedient to make to the Board of Trade on the subject, previous to the commencement of another session. It cer tainly is an Act which requires correction, and I hope there can be no doubt of our being able to arouse the attention of those who have it in their power to devise a remedy, to the serious complaints which have so long existed respecting it. " I am always, dear Sir, your faithful servant, " Mr. James Perkins." " EDWARD ELLICE. RESOLUTIONS. " That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Hon. E. Elice, M.P., for his attention to the subject to which his letter refers. " That the Committee congratulate their brother weavers on the probability (should the half•pay appren tice system prove legal), of obtaining a legislative enact. ment to destroy so immoral and ruinous a sy stem."-- The Coventry Herald. We have been informed that the LORD CHANCELLOR honoured the Master Cutler of Sheffield with his presence to dinner on Thursday.— Leeds Mer. If report speaks truly, the brother of the Earl of Egremont has left behind him half a million of money. The Duke of Orleans has remitted to Bou logne the sum of 500 francs, for the relief of the three men saved from the Amphitrite. Earl Fitzwilliam is about to divide his large estates. The English estates, amounting to upwards of 70,0001. a year, are to be settled upo❑ Lord Milton (re cently allied to the daughter of the Earl of Liverpool), and the Irish estates, worth more than 30,000/. a year, upon the Earl's second son. The indefatigable ex-whipper-in still remains in London, except when he is pleased to make excursions to his villa on the banks of the Thames. The Conserva tive Club House on Carlton-terrace seems quite deserted. A few hangers-un and hungry expectants are now its only visitors. Lord ELDON, notwithstanding his advanced age, managed to travel from the North, by rather a "quick march," and arrive at Encomb, his seat in the West, " just in time" to commence partridge shooting on the 2d of Sep tember. Lnrd ELDON, we understand, brought down 11 brace of birds the first day. The Duke of Bedford, accompanied by the Marquis of Tavistock and Lord Russell, visited his Princely estate, at Thorney, in Northamptonshire, last week. The noble party occupied two days in viewing the drainage works now in progress, and in making themselves acquainted with the condition of the parish ; after which they left Thorney for Woburn. Four years have elapsed since his Grace's last visit to his Northampton estates. The Marquis of BUTE has been for some time in treaty with the executors of the late Mr. KEAN, the tra gedian, for the purchase of Bute Cottage, and '• all those moveables," of which he was possessed at the time of his death. The agents of the Noble I%larquis have, however, been somewhat tardy in carrying his wishes into effect, by which delay considerable inconvenience and expense has been incurred by the executors of poor KEAN. Madame PASTA and Signor DONZELLI are gone to Venice, where they commence their engagement on the first night of the Carnival. PASTA will certainly return to the King's Theatre next March. LISTON, the comedian, has been rusticating at Margate, Ramsgate, and Broadstairs ; he is now gone to Brighton to join his friend MATHEws, preparatory to the opening of Madame VESTRIS'S theatre, where LISTON is engaged for the whole season. The French Opera at Lyons had fallen very low indeed, although it is absolutely under the manage ment of forty gentlemen. Recently, however, they have produced a grand national drama, entitled Life of Boo naparte, which has experienced unexampled success. It is acted every evening to overflowing audiences. HARLEY, the comedian, and T. CooKE, the director of the music at Drury Lane, are both in Paris. HARLEY has been a constant visitor at the theatres in that gay metropolis. PORTIER, and the other popular comic actors, have been extremely attentive to HARLEY ever since bis arrival amongst them. Mr. BUNN, the Lessee of the Metropolitan Theatres, who was at the Haymarket Theatre on the even ing Miss E. PATON made her successful debut, has, we understand, engaged her for the ensuing season, and at a very liberal salary. This active manager is now on a visit to the various Theatres in the provinces, for the sole pur pose of availing himself of any dramatic talent worthy to be transplanted to Covent-garden or Drury-lane. LAPORTE, immediately after he has finished the business connected with the last season at the King's Theatre, intends to visit France, Germany, and Italy, for the purpose of engaging the most prominent talent in each country for the next season. LAPORTE entertains sanguine expectations that he will be enabled to open the Italian Opera House in February, with even a more efficient company in its various departments than the last. TAGLIONI and PASTA are already engaged. MA LIBRAN is not. The supper recently given to SHERIDAN KNowLEs, by the Members of the Shakspeare Club in Edinburgh, was attended by all the literary and dramatic talent in the Scotch capital. Professor WiLsoN, who was in the chair, addressed Mr. KNowLEs in one of the most eloquent speeches ever delivered, embracing an in. teresting history of th e d rama f rom t h e earliest period. Mr. PATRICK ROBERTSON, the barrister, well known for his convivial and improvisatorial powers, was the Vice- President on the occasion. YATES, of the Adelphi, and his pretty wife, are returned to London, after " scouring the country round" on a professional tour ; where, in all quarters, they have met with very great success. Cheltenham was the last town they visited ; there YATES gave a dejeuner, which was attended by upwards of six hundred persons. MATHEWS and YATES will commence their regular season at the Adelphi Theatre, on the :30th instant. Previously, however, YATES intends to visit Brighton, and give his old friends a" touch of his quality," in one or two nights' entertainments. PAGANINI.—This prince of fiddlers is re alising an immense sum in this country, At Manchester the anxiety to hear him on Wednesday night last was so great, that all the places in the boxes of the Theatre Royal were taken several days previously, and long before the doors were opened, hundreds had assembled beyond the number which the house would contain. Numerous disturbances occurred during the evening, in consequenc e of the over-crowded state of the house. The receipts were upwards of 3701. At the small theatre at Bolton, on the evening Paganini performed, the receipts were 180/. DoN PEDRO.—A letter from an officer of his Majesty's ship Hyacinth, dated Rio de Janeiro, July, 11, says :-.-'6A Bill hes just been brought into the House of Assembly here, to proclaim Don Pedro a traitor to his country, but it is thrown out for the present, and has not passed ; still, shouli he make his appearance in any part of the Brazils, it is very doubtful (according to rumour) whether he would not be seized upon and treated accord ingly. The young Emperor, who is about eight years of age, is residing at the Palace at Rio, and, although so young a child, is taught to look on the English with the utmost contempt." A notice from the " Subway Company" di rects all letters to be sent under cover. StafFord races are fixed for the 9th and 10th of October. Our races commence on Wednesday next, and from the excellent condition of the course, much sport is expected.—Leicester Journal. On Saturday last, DOUGLAS FOX, Esq., was ❑ominated to serve the office of Mayor of Derby for the year ensuing, commencing at Michaelmas next. The Archbishop of Cashel has now the entire patronage of the extensive dioceses of Waterford and Lis. more, exclusive of his Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly. A large porpoise, weighing nearly 500 Ibs. was driven ashore at Grimsby during the storm of Satur day night, of which several of the inhabitants possessed themselves.—Hull Packet. LARGE HER RING.—In one of the stake nets near the mouth of the South Esk, at Montrose, there was caught, the other day, a herring of extraordinary size, weighing 1 lb. 10 oz. English ! BUTE ELECTION.—We feel much pleasure in being enabled to announce, that Sir WILLIAM RAE was yesterday unanimously elected to represent the county of Bute in the next session of Parliament. BUTLIN, a young artist of considerable pro mi,e, has just finished in clay a model of Lord ALTHORP, eight feet high, which is intended to be cast in bronze, and placed in the Town-ball of Northampton. Sir Grey Skipwith, one of Members for South Warwickshire, is understood to have a larger family than any other individual in the House of Commons. Sir Grey's sons and daughters number one dozen and a half; ten of the former, anti eight of the latter. The Orkney herring fishing has not been so abundant this season as formerly. By the last account in town it has entirely failed. Along the Caithness coast, however, the fishers have, it is said, been pretty successful. Greenock Intelligencer. PROSPERITY OF FALKIRK.—It is stated, as a proof of the prosperity of Falkirk, that there was lately in it a town drummer worth 17,0001., a grave-digger who wore a gold watch, and a baker who kept a pack of hounds. Accounts from Toulon state that the com mand of the naval part of the expedition against Boujeiah will be intru , ted to M. Parseval Deschenes, Captain of the frigate La Victoire, and that the rest of the naval division will be composed of brigs, corvettes, transports, and one steam-vessel. RENNETT, a very clever boy, now at Harrow School, has written a little volume of poems, which he intends to publish under the title of Theodore, or the Romantic Manual. The youth has permission to dedi cate this first offspring of his muse to Mr. KENNEDY, one of the master's of the school. EDINBURGH AND DALKEITH RAILWAY.— We are informed that the number of passengers which flock to the Edinburgh and ailkeith railway continues undiminished. During the month of August no fewer than 32.367 persons availed themselves of this delightful and invigorating excursion. FACTORY INSPECTORS—We understand that Alinisters have determined that the factory inspectors shall be locally unconnected with the district over which their superintendence is to extend. The appointments have not, we understand, yet issued from the Home office. —Leeds Mercury. SIR WALTER SCOTT—An " Abbotsford subscription" is announced in the Nova Scotia papers. It was set on foot on the 30th of July, by the most influen tial persons at Halifax, and several sums were immediately subscribed. A committee was formed, and persons named to receive donations, both in Halifax and other towns of Nova Scotia. Mr. JOHN GALT still remains in a most precarious state of health ; during the past week his life was considered by his physicians in the greatest peril. He bas finished the correction of the last page of this autobiography, which closes with a most complimentary letter from Lord DALHOUSIE to the author, to whom it has been a great solace in the midst of his sevete A GENTLE HINT.—" Your hand annoys me exceedingly," said the Prince of La Roche-suryon to a talkative person who was sitting near him at dinner, and who was constantly suiting the action to the word. " Indeed, my Lord," replied the gabbier, "we are so crowded at table, that I do not know where to put my hand."—" Put it on your mouth," said the Prince. On Thursday afternoon, a French lady, resid ing in Regent-street, on alighting from a hackney-coach in Piccadilly, and walking a few yards, recollected that she had left her reticule, containing banknotes to the amount of 1361. and 22 sovereigns. She ran to the next stand, and ascertained that the coachman had been ob served to drive away at a furious rate. PUBLIC HEALTH.--We learn from autho rity that the Government Medical Inspectors of the me tropolis have reported the sanitary condition of London and its vicinity to be highly satisfactory as regards cholera; and it is, therefore, presumed that clean bills of health will be issued by the Customs in a few days as heretofore.—Morning Post. CURIOUS RENCONTRE.—On Tuesday last a furious contest was observed at FuHord, near this city, between a cat and .a viper, which was terminated by the latter being destroyed by one of the spectators. 'When dead, the reptile was found to measure one foot eight inches in length, and two and a half inches in circumfer ence.— York Courant. DESTRUCTION OF BIRDS BY THE STORM, —At Needingworth, near St. Ive's, in consequence of the extraordinary quantity of rain, accompanied with a very sharp driving wind, which happened on Saturday last, great numbers of birds perished thereby. In one place, under some trees opposite Mr. John Harradine's house, were found the amazing number of between seven and eight hundred sparrows. It appears from an article in a foreign paper, that in consequence of the retiring of the sea at Leba, in Pomerania, a vessel laden with oak for ship building, which was sunk off that port 80 years ago, has become visible at low water. This vessel was bound for England, and the cargo was estimated at several thousand dollars. Some of the timber has been got out, and it is found to be in a state of perfect preservation. - - DEAN JACKSON.—Dean Jackson passing one morning through Christ Church quadrangle, met some under-graduates, who walked along without capping. The Dean called one of them, .and askeri, " Do you know who I am ?" " No, Sir." " How long have you been in college ?" " Eight days, Sir." "Oh very well," said the Dean, walking away, " puppies don't open their eyes till the ninth day." " I recollect," says Mrs. Carmichael, a " domestic negro going to England with his master, and on being asked his opinion of - it, replied that ' England very fine country to be sure, but nothing to be had there without money ; people there very mean, they'd sell any thing, they sell sand, massa. Would you believe it, massa—they sell the very black soot out of the chim neys ?' " As a proof of the fruitfulness of the season we have been informed by a correspondent that there is a piece of orchard land, not more than three-quarters of an acre in extent, near Lougtown, on the banks of the Mon now, the crop of apples on which is so remarkably large that it has been computed by competent judges, that it will produce from 2,000 2,500 gallons of prime cider.— Hereford Times. A girl at Thornhowe, named Yaxley, had the misfortune, a few days ago, to kill her own mother in the following singular manner :—The old lady was scolding her, and the daughter, feeling a little irritated at what her mother had said, took up her work bag and threw it at her. There were some penny pieces in it, and these striking her on the temple, she fell down and died on the the spot.—Doncaster Gazette. ------- STRANGE OCCURRENCE.—During the ab sence of the workmen from the shop of Mr. Allen, wheel wright, in Manchester.street, Oldham, on Thursday, some person entered, and, with an axe, amputated the forefinger of a hand, and left it in a quantity of blood on a stall in the shop. The finger so amputated is in the possession of Mr. Braddock, druggist, Oldham, and from its slender formation i s suppose d to have belonged to one of the softer sex.—B o l ton Chronicle. PARSON'S FEES —.The Vicar of N e w ar kh as long demand e d 10s. 6d. as a fee for every head-stone placed in the church-yard, but it has never been the custom to pay any additional fee for having a stone cleaned, &c. A person named Fotherby, being on a visit to his native place, wished to have the head -stone of one of his forefathers cleaned, and the letters re-painted, &e..-- Accordingly, the painter was sent, and the stone beautified, without being removed. What was the chagrin of the good man to find that the Vicar &Mantled a further fee of 2s. 6d. for having it painted, although the fee 'dad been paid in the first instance for putting it down !--Lincoln. shire Mercury. Saturday a number of persons assembled within the Tower to witness the funeral of two soldiers belonging to the Grenadiel' Gudtels. On Saturday week th€y marched from Kingston to London dtrng die heavy rain, and arrived at the Tower quite exhausted, and With their clothes saturated with wet. They imprudently drank a quantity of cold be;:-, which. caused a,violent inflamma tion of the bowels, and they died in a few boors. They were buried with the usual ceremonies. A STRONG RECOMMENDATION.—A pedlar wishing to recommend his razors to the gaping crowd, thus addressed them :—" Gentlemen, the razors I hold in my hand were made in a cave by the light of a dims-lona, in the province of Andalusia in Spain. They cut as quick as thought, and are as bright as the morning star. A word nr two more, and I am certain sots will buy them. Lay them under your pillow at night, and you will find yourself clean shaved in the morning." MACHINERY.—Mr. Stuart, of the Ordnance Wharf, has several circular saws worked by a horse in a moderate-siz .d walk. They are intended for cutting and boring tenons used in the hollow thasts and by this process, with horse power, at least 30 tenons nia7 he completed in a minute, with greater accuracy than a man could make one in a quarter of an hour with the common hand-saw and gimlet. This single piece of machinery must, therefore, do the work of 450 men. Thomas Taylor, jun., of Thorpe Satchville, on Tuesday last summoned a man before the Magistrates at Melton Mowbray for stealing two apples from a tree in his orchard. On appearing before the Bench, however, the accuser, having sacrificed too freely at the shrine of the Jolly God, caught the eye of the presiding Magistrates, who, greatly to the amusement of the auditors and the amazement of the complainant, fined him ss. for being drunk. Doubtless this is the highest price that will be paid for apples this season. Halifax papers to the sth of August have been received. An order from his Britannic AIAJESTY had been issued at Frederickson, New Brunswick, on the 31st July, discontinuing until further orders the collec tion of the quit rents in that province, the same having been suspended in Nova Scotia. This measure was sup posed to have been adopted in compliance with an address of the House of Assembly of that province to his HAJESTY and upon the understanding that the House would either make provision for commuting the rents, or provide for a part of the civil list. It appears by the Paisley Advertiser, that Mr. Blair, manager of the Johnstone Gas Works, has made a discovery, which, if it becomes of general appli cation, will, in a great measure, ruin the Sheffield cutlers. Some time ago a portion of the moist lime, by which the gas is purified, fell by accident on the back of a dog, and a small bit of wood having been used to scrape it off, the hair was at once brought completely away with it. Mr. Blair extended the discovery by practising on his own beard, which now requires no razor. The lime, of the consistence of cream, is laid on the beard, and, after three or four minutes, scraped off with the back part of a knife or thin piece of wood.--Scotch Paper. MONEY CLUBS.—As an instance of the large sums persons will give at the present day for a little temporary accommodation, we state, from good authority, that at a money club in this town, one night last week, the sum of five guineas was sold, as it is called, for 2/. 4s. 6d. ; and the bidder actually received three shares at that premium, so that for a loan of 15 guineas, he has to pay 6l 13s. 6d., and interest upon the whole, until repaid. Souse of these money clubs have subscribers of 1,0001. each, and the engagements of this nature in Not tingham and its neighbourhood, are far greater than is generally understood.—Nottingham Review. IMPROVEMENTS IN CHERBOURG HAR HOUR. —A formidable French squadron is lying in Cher bourg harbour, without any apparent object. We are informed that the improvements made in that harbour by lengthening, raising, and strengthening the breakwater, and by the excavation of an immense basin, in addition to the former two, have not a little astonished our yacht men and naval characters who have attended the late visit of the French King at that port. The break water is mounting with 120 pieces of heavy cannon, and several mortars in three forts, and the basin will hold nearly 30 sail of the line, with a depth of 32 feet water, and this within 60 miles of the Isle of Wight. Saturday an inquest was held at the Grand Surrey Canal Tavern, Camberwell, on the body of Mr. John Barurck, aged 60, in the emp l oy o f Mr. Perry, a confectioner in the Borough. The deceased had bad some difference with his wife respecting the loss of two or three sovereigns which he had missed. On Wednesday morning he went to the Canal Tavern Bridge, where, notwith. standing the opposition of his young son, who bad sus pected his intention and followed him, be threw himself into the water. The drags were immediately sent for, and the deceased was taken out of the water in less than five minutes, but animation could not be restored.-- Verdict, Temporary Derangement. DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND--We are in formed that a wide district of country in and about Maiden.hall, on the borders of this country, and con. venient to Charleville, is in a state of alerming disturbance, large parties of men being assembled in arms, traversing the roads and fields, and firing shots, They are composed of two adverse factions, enlisted to support the relative claims of two gentlemen of that neighbourhood, Mr Maxwell and Mr. Holmes, to the chattel property of the late Major Samuel Maxwell of Charleville. On Monday the adverse parties met in deadly conflict, and two men are reported killed, and several wounded. Mr. Clanchy and Mr. Russell, magistrates of the district, have take❑ every precaution, with the small police force at their disposal, to preserve the peace and counteract this dan gerous assemblage, but to no purpose. Thomas P. Voices, Esq., has since ordered all the disposable police force of the county to the scene of outrage, in order to restore tranquility. One man, we have just learned, was shot dead, and his body lies in the Bridewell of Charleville for an inquest.—Limerick Chronicle. Upwards of 300 Magistrates, Clergy, and other inhabitants and visitors of the town of Cheltenham, have signed a public declaration, expressing their convic tion that the Races annually held there are become an intolerable nuisance, by driving away r.-iany of the most respectable residents from the town during their continu ance ; and in their stead are congregated hordes of black legs, gamblers, swindlers, pickpockets, and vagabonds of the worst description. The persons signing the declara tion express their determination to employ all legal means to effect their immediate suppression. In consequence of this declaration, the Cheltenham Turf Club met on Saturday, Lord Segrave in the chair, when resolutions were passed, expressing regret that "such discreditable .;,enes took place at the last Races." Lord Ellenborough, Fulwar Craven, John Browne, It. H. Lucas, J. Peel, Esqrs. and Captain Lloyd, R. N. concurred in the expe diency of removing the Races from the new course to some place so remote from the town as to prevent a re currence of the disgraceful scenes which accompanied the last Race..— Oxford Journal. OLD SARUM AND THE DEAR TORIES.- r.ourn, ye Tories ! representatives of ruined wall and grassy mound ! Members for brick and vegetation ! Men whose constituents must last for ever, for nature will ever be fresh, and walls will still be durable ! Mourn ye, mourn ye the oak of Old Sarum, under whose broad arms you bribed the electioneering independence of the neighbouring daisies, marigolds, and buttercups ; that tree which " Stood like to Caractacus, in act to rally His host with broad arras 'gainst the thunder stroke," (Of corruption, doubtless,)—that oak sacred to liberty, religion, and Toryism, the Salisbury Journal tells us, is blown down by the late relentless storm—net the political --but the storm of Friday last. By this event it is evident that the last branch of the old system has been blown away; the Tories now will bite less than they will bark --the leaves of office they will take, and not the loaves; and as they have been the root of all evil, they have, in the most handsome manner, as a redeeming point in their character, packed up their trunk to be off'.— Town. IMPRESSMENT OE SAILORS.—The ques tion of impressment is one of pounds, shillings, and pence. The country takes by force that which it should purchase for money. Instead of knocking up a bargain with Ben Block, they knock him down and take him on board. It is a ready reckoning, but immensely hard for the receiver. If a carpenter or any other workman in London were earning at a certain shop 30e. a week, what would he say if Government were to take him by force, and oblige him to work at barracks for half that sum? Would all the horse-guards, foot•guards, and police be able to support even one such solitary instance of infringe ment of the liberty of the subject? Never ! Yet a sailor, having, in all probability, a wife and family, or, if not, aged parents, depending upon him for their support, is to be seized by brutal force, and if he refuse to go :peaceably to have his head cloven with a cutlass, to be taken out of a merchant's vessel, in which he has been earning his 41. , to 44 10e. A MoMil without the risk of life, to serve on heard a King's ship for 1/. 10s. or 21. per month, with every contingent of fire, battle, or wreck.—Metropolitan , Magazine. ' EFPECTS OF FREE TRADE.—At this mo ment in Portsmouth harbour, we see the mortifying fact there are four Prussian vessels, ard one Norwegian, dis• , charging cargoes of timber from their respeive countries, whilst there is but a solitary British vessel, with a targo of wood from our own colonies. The appearance and equipment of these foreigners sufficiently indicate the benefits they derive fro:rt hehlg permitted to engross the supply of odi. merketS, With their cheaply sailed ships and coarsely fed crews. To talk of reciprocity between people and things so dissimilarly sittiateri as these aliens and our own shipowners, is perfect madness', end' could only have originated with men whose interests were iden tified with every country more than their own. That these men, who are well known i should advocate such a system can excite no wonder, but that British Statesmen should foster and uphold it is most extraordidatyd , a-Hants Telegraph. FILMAL AFFECTION AMONG CONVICTS.--• Having gone out With Irish convicts on a former occasion, I Lind a sad difference between the English and them. The one polished, artful, and vicious-a-poor Pat, simple, innocent, and as tractable as a child ; with a civil word you can do anything With Paddy. In one of my voyages from Cork, there happened to be among the rest a father and two sons for sheep stealing. Old Murtagh was ad vented in life, the sons fine athletic young men. Two days after ernhar!tation, I observed Rory, the eldest, eyeing me very wistfully, iirit apparently unwilling to trespass ; I beckoned him aft, anil de4real to know what was the matter, hoped the old man ket,t up' his spirits, Bsc.; em boldened by my manner, he simply hented, " if your honour would tie pleased to divide the bolts between me Dennis, for the ould man's getting tinder, God help hi re and ram afi-ar':i he won't get to the end of the journey any way." I felt astiattted at having overlooked the poor old man so long (he was fourscore, but I did not know he was so nit) and n.tantly removed the old man's irons, amidst the prayers and bon-dittti:tri. t.f the whole party.— Surgeon Oshorne's Notes on New South Wales. LADIES DRESSES 50 TEARS SlNCE.—The'' costume of the !aides at my time, Ithich is now much ridiculed, was then ot . an extraordinary richness and brilliancy, worn with infinite taste, and chastened in all its exaggerations. With all this paraphernalia of feathers, rich stuffs, hoops, and flounces, a woman was forced to use a slow majesty in all her movements. I have seen some very fair ladies who, when powdered, and drawing after them their long trains of white satin, and balancing with skill the spotless plumes that waved over their fore heads, might be truly compared to some bird like to, hut much more noble than a swan. Perhaps a white turtle dove is the better type—for the delicate little bodies con cealed amid enormous folds of silk and replications of muslin, with the long wings of lace that fell from our arms concealed us as the dawn does the dove ; and when we thrust out from beneath this graceful pile of white our little balancing feet in those high-heeled shoes, that allowed only the extremities of the toes to meet the ground, it was truly then that we feared to touch the earth, and that we walked with the disdainful caution of a little shepherdess on the border of a brook.—" Confes sions of a Lady of Quality."—Metropolitan Mug. EXTRAORDINARY SWINDLING.—A man, with the usual number of aliases, who bad been in the employ of a respectable coachmaker of this place, as a workman from London, for the space of ten months, exhi bited letters to his master and fellow workmen, stating that the sum of 20,0001. had been bequeathed to his wife. On the strength of this extraordinary piece of good for tune, he quitted the workshop, and hired a large house in Bedford-street, Abercromby-square, ordered from an up holsterer and other tradesmen the necessary supplies for this mansion, and, by way of payment, gave references to his late master, who, believing the story, told them that he had got the 20,0001. and it appears that he conse quently found but little difficulty in getting possession of 1,4001., some of which was delivered so late as Monday week. He likewise advertised for offices, and Mr. Harri son, of Hanover-street, accommodated him with some; sold him goods, and was under engagements for the deli very of more. Circumstances of a suspicious character induced Mr. Harrison to suspect the truth of his tenant's representations, and the result was the discovery that the whole course of his proceedings was a complete fraud. Part of the furniture had been packed up and sent off to London ; but on Saturday last the creditors took posses sion of whit remained, and stopped in transitu some packages in the carrier's hands.—Liverpool Mercury. STEAM CARRIAGE.—On Wednesday our townsmen, Messrs. Heaton Brothers, made another ex periment with their steam coach, to ascend the hill at Bromsgrove Lickey, which is a loose sandy surface, ad much so, that the wheels of their machine (about fifty hundred weight) carried a bill of sand before them about three inches deep. The hill is about seven hundred yards long, and rises on an average one yard in nine, and in some places one yard in eight, and is declared by eminent sur veyors to be the worst piece of road in the kingdom. This hill was mounted by their machine, with a stage coach attached, fifteen hundred weight, and nine persons, in nine minutes, in the presence of about two hundred spectators. They then took up their friends, twenty in number, they had brought from Birmingham, with five in addition, making twenty-five, and proceeded on to Bromsgrove, as far as the Market-place; there they turned the machine round, and returned to the Crab Mill Inn, about fifteen miles ; this was accomplished in two hours and twenty. two minutes, including all stoppages. Having staid a con siderable time at the Crab Mill Inn, they returned, calling at the various places where they called in the morning, and receiving the congratulations of their friends at hav ing accomplished the greatest undertaking in the history:of steam locomotion on the common road. They arrived in Birmingham, bringing with them up Worcester-street, an ascent of one yard in twelve, thirty-two persons. We un derstand from them, that it is their intention to proceed with the erection of others with suitable carriages, and ply them on the roads in our neighbourhood.—Berming, ham Journal. WHITEHALL CHAPEL.—During the time it was in contemplation to convert the Chapel at White hall into a National Picture-galllery, the exquisite paint ings of Reuhens were taken down from the ceiling ; but sfter the debate on the subject in the House of Commons, and the resistance given to the proposed plan, the pictures, which are painted on canvass, after being cleaned, were restored to their former situation, and there they now remain. The different subjects are painted in compart ments, and when placed against the wall of the chapel, and even with the eye, they had a very singular and strange appearance, except to an artist who could appre ciate their beauties and the profound skill of a great master in their execution. This arose from the very great foreshortening of the figures, which was necessary to give them the fine effect produced on viewing them in their present position. Nothine could more clearly display the work of a great master, and the magic of the art, than the contrast in the appearance of the pictures when they were tiken down and when they were replaced. This painting on ceilings was never in good taste, because the pictures in fact are useless except when placed over the head of the spectator, and then they are inconvenient to look at and painful to the sight, and so far an exhibition rather to be shunned than admired. If the chapel were to be converted into a National Picture Gallery, the pre sent paintings on the ceiling, being intended to ornament a sacred edifice, would but ill accord with the character of a chamber for depositing pictures on the various and mul titudious subjects which a national collection of the arts would embrace. REPRESENTATION OF NAPOLEON Buo- NAPARTE BREATIIING.-It was the praise of Praxiteles that his statues seemed to breathe; but this honour, fur so many ages enjoyed exclusively, the immortal sculptor of ancient times must now submit to share. A formidable rival to his fame appears in the person of an ingenious modern Frenchman, by whom a figure of Napoleon Buo naparte has been formed, which moves, not in appearance only, but actually, as in the act of respiration. This arti ficial figure yields to pressure, except in those parts wherein the living body bones would present resistance; and on the removal of the external force resumes, almost like real flesh and blood, its original shape. Even the motion of respiration, as we have just mentioned, is by some artifice represented, and we question not that this Promethean imitation of humanity, if exhibited within the territories of the Holy Alliance, would be seized and sent to keep company with the shade of its great prototype in St. Helena. We do not know of what substance the figure is formed—probably caoutchouc is the chief material—but its elasticity, though surprising, is not ex actly of the same sort as that which is felt in the touch of human flesh. Putting aside the ingenuity of the inven tion, the figure is not without merit as a work of art. The parts of the body which are exposed, namely, the face and hands, bear a strong resemblance in form, colour, and texture, to the human. The figure represents Napoleon in his best days—before his person assumed that corpu lency whi c h di s fi gure d i ts appearance in the latter years of his life. It is dressed in military costume, and reclines on a couch, seemingly asleep. The little cocked-hat is, of course, not forgotten, and, to make the exhibiton more taking, one actually used by the late Emperor has been procured. In 4~,_ SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
