HAMILTON, JULY 18— HAMILTON SALT SPItING.--. We are informed this spring his been bored to the depth of 340 feet, and that water of good strength, and in con siderable. quantity, has alteady been obtained. It is thought when the shaft has been sunk to the intended depth (500 feet) that the quantity and quality of the water will excel that of St. Cathat ine's, which yields seventy bushels of excellent salt daily. We are also informed that the Stony Creek Spring has been wrought to 200 feet with every prospect of success. Should each of these springs produce 70 bushels of salt daily, they will distribute about 40,000 dollars per annum in this neighbourhood, hich formerly found their way to Enviaod and the Uni ted States, while the consumer of salt will he supplied with salt on more moderate terms than before. Besides the springs alluded to, there are seven more within a few miles of this town, and by a little trouble in searching, there is no doubt but a number of others might be discovered. EAIIGRATION.—During the last week we bare again bad a considerable arrival of emigrants at this port, mostly of the wealthy class. Some lane purchases and several handsome offers have been made by them for properties in our immediate neighbourhood. The arrivals at Queb,c fir some weeks have been as large as at the corresponding period of last season, therefore it may ho expected that 34.000 will arrive in the course of this season, the defi ciency at present being only 21,000 as compared with the returns of last year. The Earl of Derby has shipped off a number of his Irish tenantry, and presented them with 101. to 251. each, according to circumstance 3.-- IVestern Luminary. LONDON, THURSDAY EVNING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1833. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY. INVERNESS, SEPT Circuit Court of Jus ticiary was opened here yesterday by the Right Hon. Lord Meadowbank, and after prayer by the Rev. Mr. Clark, his Lordship proceeded to business. The diet was then called against Alexander Ma theson, Donald Mackenzie, alias Andrew Roderick Macgregor, Allan Campbell, alias liPlver, lWurdo or illurdoch Urquhart, Colin Macleod, and John Cameron, alias Castle, fishermen in Ullapool, parish of Lochbroom, Donald Fraser, agent for the British Society for the encouragement of Fisheries at Ulla pool, Norman Macdonald, fisherman at Ged-cas gaig, and Colin Ross, fisherman at Toranachots. The prisoners were accused of having, on the 2-bth of September, 1832, maliciously, wantonly, and fe loniously, and mischievously destroyed the yair • for catching salmon, or herrings, &c., at Lochbroom, belonging to Sir George Stewart Mackenzie, Bart., of Coul, which yair was then occupied by W. Mun dell. The prisoners were also accused of having de stroyed the yair at the mouth of the River Broom, the property of the Rev. Dr. Thomas Ross, Minis ter of Lochbroom. Only Norman Macleod, Allan Campbell, and Colin Ross appeared at the bar, and pleaded Guilty, the other persons mentioned in the indictment were outlawed. Mr. Neaves, advocate for the pannels, stated that the prisoners, as well as the private complainers, were connected with the fishings on the west coast; but whether the years destroyed were illegal or not, he must at once ad mit that the pannels had no right to take the law in their own hands, and cut and destroy them in the manner described in the indictment. He trusted, however, that when pronouncing sentence, his Lordship would consider that the crime was com mitted at a time when a pestilence prevailed in the country, and when, he might say, absolute want was staring these men in the face. He might also al lude to the prisoners' ignorance that they were com mitting an illegal act, and to the certificate lie held in his hand, from the clergyman of the parish, bearing testimony to their previous good conduct and honesty. Under all these circumstances, he trusted that the Court would infl:ct as lenient a punishment on the prisoners as was consistent with justice. Sir G. S. Mackenzie, of Coul, who was in Court, on being asked by his Lordship if lie had any thing to say, stated, that although he sustained considerable loss, in consequence of the conduct of the prisoners and then• associates, still he believed that they were at the. time ignorant of the crime they committed, and unaware that they were guilty of any violation of the laws of their country. Lord MEADOWBANK said, although he would, under ordinary circumstances, have felt it his duty t o mark the enormity of the offence by a severe punishment, yet from the circumstance of the case, he thought the ends of justice would be answered by a sentence of two months' imprisonment in the gaol of Tain, and after the lapse of that period, he should order the pannels to find security to keep the peace for three years, failing which, to he detained in prison two months longer. In pronouncing such a lenient ,sentence, he wished it to be understood that he did so for the purpose of trying its effects; he, however, remarked, that if such lawless proceed ings occurred in future, the punishment would be exemplary. " At Agram, in Croatia, the clergy recently went in procession from the church to consecrate the first stone of a theatre about to be built in that town." We find, too, that—" The Courrier de la Sarthe states, that after a recent distribution of prizes at the Ecclesiastical school of Precigne, the pupils, under the direction of the Principal, performed Nloliere's play of Les Fourberies de Scapin." This is a most intolerable degree of toleration of things impious. Dr. Phillpotts, we should hope, would allude to these matters in his next speech on sectar►anism, and the Bishop of London condemn them, with all the force of his eloquence, in his next diocesan's letter. ADULTERATION OF TEA.—An extensive seizure has been made by the Excise on the premises of a grocer residing in the Ham, Brentford, of American sloe leaves, to be used for the adulteration of tea, its appear ranee being equal to that of the genuine article. The quantity seized is ISO pounds, which be had purchased only a day or two previous, at the rate of 2s. Gd. per pound. It is suspected that the seller was the person who gave the information to the officers. Proceedings hive been taken against the offender, and the penalties amoun to upwards of 1,1001. A somewhat singular seizure, we are in• formed, has been made on hoar.] a steam-packet—namely a large pigeon pie, which, notwithstanding the feet of the birds made their appearance thove the crust, was found to contain a valuable enclosure of gunpowder tea. —Hull Packet. Steep the common wick of candles in lime water, in which is dissolved a considerable quantity of nitre or saltpetre. By this means a purer flame and a superior light is secured, a more perfect combustion ensured, and snuffing rendered almost 1151 superfluous as in wax candles ; and the candles thus treated do not run. The wicks must be thoroughly dry b,f,re the tallow is put to them. The Tribunal of the Correctional Police at St. Etienne, in France, condemned, a few days ago, a man named Simon Klein to four imprisonment, and a fine of 150 francs, for selling snuff of his own making, composed of the scraping of walnut-tree wood mixed with a little clay, sand, and pulverised coal. SINGULAR CURIOSITY.—A few days ago, as the son of Mr. Henderson, garnekeeiler to George Bail lie, Esq., was strolling through the plantations at Meller stain, he observed a crow, of rath.r a singular appearance, hopping about and making repeated attempts to fly away. Sopecting that it had been recently wounded, he ran for ward and without difficulty succeeded in securing it. On examination, it was found that the crow had three legs, two of which were formed in the usual manner ; and were strong and perfect, but the third, which was attached to the !eft side, was a little shorter than the other two, and pro ceeded from a distinct and separate joint ; on the foot were five toes, the outer and inner of which were united to the adjacent ones, and all were terminated with claws; it had also two rumps, one of which, however, was imperfectly formed ; beneath the under jaw was a white spot, a cir cumstance that has induced some to suppos , , that, had it lived, it might, in all probability, have become entirely of that colour. NEW NOVELS.—The late season appears to have been eminently prolific in works of fictio❑ by fitst rate authors. It has produced—The Contrast, by the Earl of Mulgrave—The Heathen's Wall, by Cooper— Arlington, by Mr. Lister, author of Granby—Legends of the Low Countries, by the author of Highways and Bye ways—Tales of the Early Centuries, by the author of Brambletye House—Henry Masterton, by Mr. James, the author of Richelieu and Darnley—The Schoolfellows, or History of Stanley Buxton, by Mr. Galt—The Highland Smugglers, by Mr. Fraser, author of the Kuzzilhash— Tal e s from Froissart, by the author of Gilbert Earle—Sir Ralph Esher, by Leigh Hunt—The Fair of May-Fair, by the authoress of AIo-hers anti Daughters—Fortune Hunt ing, by the authoress of i irst Love, and the Adventures of a Younger Son, by Mr. Trelawney, the distinguished friend of Lord Byron. STOPPAGE OF A DOG-PlT.—The officers of the Animals' Friend Society have had the gratification of putting a stop to Whetherheati's dog pit, in the Mint, by having merely taken the preliminary steps to a prosecu • tion under the new Act, which coming to the knowledge of Mr. Whetherhead, Mr. \V. Ciwed the performance to cease, at the same time promising the Society that it should not be resumed. The Wesleyan Methodists, including preachers and people, are fast approaching to a million in number, amounting, in fact, to 917,635. Their increase during the last year, in proportion to their whole number, is as I to 14. The increase of preachers, in proportion to the increase of private members, is, in the United S , a , es, LAI to IS6 ; under the Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada, as 1 to 3,616 ; in the Focieties utpler the British and Irish Conferences, as 1 to 3,292 ; and in the whole world, as Ito 332.

It is set forth as the autobiography of C mut Devereux whose life was one of stirring adventure and constant excitement. " Men of all grades," says the hero, " and of every character, have been familiar to niA. War—love—ambition—the scroll of sages—the feitivals of wit—the intrigues of states—all that agitates mankind, the hope and the fear, the labour and the pleasure—the great drama of vanities, with the little interludes of wis dom, these have been the occupation of my manhood— these will furnish forth the mate ials of that history which is now open to your survey." The details of a life of such varied and extensive experience could scarcely fail in such hands as Mr. Bulwer's, to furnish a rich literary repast. A CAUTION TO CLERGYMEN.—An elderly liisliwoman, about four feet and a half high, with reddish hair and tanned face, who calls herself the daughter of the late Rev. Dr. OULD, Rector of Philipstown, has been for some years in the habit of calling on clergymen in various parts of the kingdom for the purpose of getting money from them. In this city she was accompanied by another woman and a child, and was seen with a man who has not yet been taken. By the vigilance of one of the Anti-Nlendicity constable, the women were appre hended yesterday begging in St. John's College. Several pawnbrokers' duplicates were found in their possession, and some htters, in which references to character were made to the Rev. Mr. MILLS, of Magdalen College ; the Rev. Mr. GIRDLE -STONE, and other gentlemen. It was proved by the testimony of several persons that these women live by wandering thi ough the country, and pay ing visits to those who are reputed charitable, particularly clergymen. All such vagrants obtain their information nom lodging-houses.— Oxford Herald. WILD FowL.—lf a gentleman wishes to have plenty of wildfml on his pond let him preserve tie coats, and keep no tame swans. The reason that all wid fiwl seek the company of coots is because these birds are such good sentries to give the alarm by day, when the fowl generally sleep. But the mute swans will attack every fresh bird that dares to appear within reach of them. But not so with the hoppers ; they are the " peaceful monarchs of the lake."—Hawker. Sunday the congregation of an episcopal chapel in Chelsea, (if which the Rev. Mr. Owen is the Minister, were :farmed by the sudden interruption of the service, occasioned by a Mr. Byfield, the father-in-law of the Minister, and a gentleman of great respectability, who pronounced in a loud voice some short sentences concern ing the second appearing of Christ. It is said that Mr. Owen himself is inoculated with the Irving mania, but he requested his father-in-law to desist, which he did, and engaged to investigate the matter, and to announce the conclusion he might come to respecting it. SHAKSPERIAN CLUB.—MR. SHERIDAN KNowLEs._Thursday night a most numerous meeting of this Club was held in the Waterloo Hotel, for the ex press purpose of testifying their high esteem for the ta lents and success of Mr. SHERIDAN KNOWLES as a (11..1.- 1111de writer. The Club, including a very large proportion of vi-itors, sat down to supper about I I. o'clock : Profes sor WILSON in the Chair, supported on the right by Mr. SHERIDAN KNOWLES, as the guest of the Club, and on the left by Mr. WILLIAMSON RAMSAY, of Lixmount. PATRICK ROBERTSON and JAMES SPENCE, &qrs., acted as croupiers. Professor WILSON gave the health and prosperity Of Mr. SHERIDAN KNOWLES in a most elo quent and flowing harangue, in which he pronounced a high eulogium on his various efforts in dramatic literature, and particularly alluded to the prominent station which lie now occupied in the public eye—a station which, al though many, and amongst others BYRON, BAILLIE, MA TURIN, 84 c., had attempted to gain, yet they had failed in the object of their ambition, and it was reserved for KNowLvs to reap those laurels which they had all sought in vain. This toast was received with thunders of applause, and Mr. SHERIDAN KNOWLES returned thanks in a speech remarkable for its enthusiasm, warmth, and poetic diction. His allusion to Glasgow, and the generous manner in which the inhabitants of that city had fostered his early aspirations, was in the best style, and did equal honour to his head and his heart. Mr. ROBERTSON gave the Prosperity of the Drama," and made some highly sensi ble observations on its great advantages, not only in re _lining the ideas of the people, but also in strengthening and confirming their moral feelings, remarking that its decline Lad generally been the precursor of a retrograde movement in the civil zation and habits of a community. Many other toasts were given, among which we may men tion Professor WILSON, by Mr. SHERIDAN KNOWLES; SIDDONS and Mr. MURRAY, from the Chair ; Miss ELLEN TREE, by Mr. H. G. BELL ; the Theatrical Fund, by Mr. J. PATERSON, Advocate; and Mr. PA TRICK ROBERTSON, from the Chair. The party, which was a most convivial and joyous one, did not separate till an early hour. -...Ediebtarnh P.nplann Courant. Black Game has not proved so plentiful on Sherwood Forest, near Mansfield, as was expected ; but there are a good many hares and partridges.—Doncaster Gazette. The site of several tan-pits was discovered under the pavement of the High.street, Dumfries, a few days since, by the workmen employed in cutting a cotninon sewer. Tradition says that the High-s.treet was some centuries since a close, in which a tannery was situate.— Edinburgh Courant. MR. BUCKINGHAM, M. P.—The Sheffield Iris, received yesterday contains an account of the very gratifying reception of this gentleman by his consti tuents. His arrival on Thursday having been previously known, he was met by a large concourse of persons with bands of music and banners, and he was corylucted to the Angel Inn amidst the most gratifying cheers of his con stituents. On Saturday he dined with the friends and members of the Rancliffe Lodge, under the Nottingham Imperial Union, Wm. Jackson, Esq. in the chair. Lord Rancliffe was present at the dinner. A number of appro • priate toasts were given ; and, on the Hon. Member's health being drank, he entered into an explanation of his conduct in Parliament, and was lou ily cheered. Lord Rancliffe, on returning thanks upon his health being pro posed, related the following amusing anecdote of his first entrance into Parliament :—" When he was at age he had some thoughts of standing fir the borough of Leicester, but his guardian., the Marquis of Hastings and Lord Grenville thought different ; they preferred getting some of their more talented friends for such a popular pkce, and accordingly wrote to him in Ireland, where be then was in the army, not to trouble himself about Leicester , as they had already secured a borough for him ; a weeks had scarcely elapsed when he observed, o b sur prise, in a newspaper, that George Henryra: borough of in , , Baron k of Rancliffe, was gazetted as the member far never been near, Somersetsliire, whiel' be had actually shortly, however, nor even seen one of his con stituents ; tue. n ts knew soinething found to his cost, that hrisoeonon.s. ii / fir the honour.—(L.,ud of laughter.)

The operation of Filling Ti all is performed in a few seconds, without the slightest pain, heat, or pressure. They also FASTEN LOOSE TEETH, in a manner singularly efficacious, and SUPPLY WHOLE or PARTIAL SETS of TEETH formed of the above INCORRODIBLE MINERAL, or of Natural Sub stances, without WIRE or other LlGATURES—guaren teed to answer every purpose for Articulating and Masti cating. The Faculty are respectfully invited to witness the suc cessful result of the Mineral Suceedaneum. N.R.

Charges as in Paris. The remains of the much-lamented O'Do- NouonuE, of the Glen, arrived in Killarney, and were interred i❑ the family vault in Mucruss Abbey. Among the train of carriages, which joined in the pro cession, were the equipages of Earl KENNIARE, Lord HEADLY, the Hon. WILLIAM BROWNE, the Hon. THOMAS BROWNE, &c. The hearse was preceded by the clansmen and tenantry of the decra , ed Chieftain, dressed with hatbands and cypresses.— Tr(dee Mercury. The damage done by the storm in twenty-four hours, in hops alone, in the North Clay district, is, at a moderate calculation, estimated at several thousand pounds. The best plantations being the heaviest, they have suffered more severely tha❑ the others. —Nottingham Revit.w. On Monday much alarm was created in the Broadway, Queen-square, Westminster, in consequence of four drunken privates, belonging to the Coldstream Guard , , insulting the passengers, and, on being remonstrated with, assaulting them. The police were called, but it appear+ that they have orders not to interfere between the public and the military ; and the only alternative was to send to the guard-house. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Friday evening Mrs. Montgomery, of Benvarden, and family were re turning in an open harouche from a visit to A. Ferguson, Esq., of Burt ; on their way the door of the vehicle, against which Miss Joie Montgomery, aged three, was standing, gave way, and the child fell backwards on the road. She was inst intly replaced in the batouche, which was driven with all expedition to Derry, where surgical aid was promptly procured, but life had become extinct. The spine had been seriously injured.—Derry Journal RIo JANEIRO PACKETS.—The packets to Rio from this port have now been established for about ten years, and in that time the parties have despatched (including extra vessels) about 300 ; and it is an extra ordinary fact, out of this number not one vessel has bee❑ lost. The passages of these packets have been generally very short, very often beating the Falmouth packets ; fur instance the four last, the George Canning in 46 days ; Colunibian 46, Statesman 55, and Margaret 48.—Li • verpool Chronicle. It is rather singular that the Member for Old-ham bears a gridiron for his escutcheon of pretence. Moreover, he is a mortal enemy to the " modern Bacon." We understand the Watt Monument Com mittee have come to the resolution of erecting the building on the proposed site in West Blackhall-street. The subscrib •rs to the monument fund have shown no anxiety to prevent this ; and therefore the Committee, we pre sume, nupp ,se it to be with the general consent of all concerned.— Greenock Intelligeneer. ROBBERY.—Between the hours of six and eight on Sunday evening, and whilst the family were at chapel, some thieves entered the house of Mr. W. Hollis, in Lambeth Walk, by means of skeleton keys. They proceeded up stabs, and broke open a desk and all the drawers, and succeeded in obtaining nearly 50/. in cash, together with a set of silver teaspoons. ANNUITY TAX.—The clergy still continue to imprison the inhabitants, many of whom are quite unable to pay the arrears which have accumulated. It is an ill wind, however, which blows nobody good, for we have heard it stated that Dr. Inglis's son will clear many hundred pounds by these proceedings.—Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle. REMARKABLE EFFECTS OF THE LATE WEATHER ON Brans.—Sunday morning seven dozen of sparrows were found dead under some elms in the orchard of the 'ft limpet Inn, at Weston Faye'', near this town ; and at the Rectory House between three and four dozen of swallows and martins were seen clinging together under the waterspouts attached to the house. Alert of these, however, were enlivened flout their temporary state of torpidity by the warmth of the sun about noon, but several were quite dead. Several partridges sought shelter in the shops of different tradesmen in Bedford. They were speedily consigned to the tender mercies of the cook.— Northampton Mercury. REMARKABLE CURE.—On Saturday last a deaf and dumb fortune-teller was taken into custody by Mr. John Brearley, deputy constable of Halifax: Upon being interrogated as to her name, place of abode, &e., she pointed significantly to her ears, and made a number of signs indicative of her infirmity. The case appeared somewhat desperate, but Mr. Brearley having succeeded on a former occasion, entertained strong hopes of per formin.t a second cure. With this view be told the sibyl that if she wanted anything to eat, she would be supplied on asking for it. Of course no apparent notice was taken of this information, and her motions for food were unat tended to. Monday morning presented favourable symp toms, the cravings of nature, after a day's fasting, became imupportable, and the dumb woman asked for food. Having supplied her wants in this way, she was taken before the Magistrates, who committed her to the House of Correction for three months as a rogue and a vagabond —an infliction which her skill in future destinies bad net enabled her either to foresee or to prevent.—Leeds ( PRICE 7D.) IRELAND. DUBLIN, SEPT. 9.—By letters which have this day been received in this city from the Marquis Wellesley, we learn that his Lordship expects to ar rive here on the 26 , h inst., with full powers to re sume the reins of Vice-Regal Government. The Conservatives are sadly mortified, and already begin to resort to their old species of annoyance—lampoon ing —which, however, the Marquis has the good sense to take no heed of. Last Friday a deputation of respectable and in fluential citizens, headed by the Lord Mayor, waited on Mr. Littleton, M.P., at Gresham's Hotel, in Sackville-street, to request his attention to the plan of the Ship Canal between this city and Kingstown, and, if possible, secure his support to the measure. The Right Hon. Secretary awaits the report of the engineer, Mr. Cubitt, as to the expense of the un dertaking, before he can make up his mind in its favour. The several commissioners of corporate inquiry are proceeding with their work. In Navan they are, much to the surprise and dissatisfaction of the inhabitants, carrying on their investigation with closed doors. In Drogheda, on the contrary, the commissioners sit in open court, and every publicity is given to the examination of witnesses. Mr. O'Dwyer, M.P. for the town, attends against the corporation. The mayor and civic authorities em ploy no counsel, and depend on their books alone. Last Tuesday, at sun-rise, six men, armed with a gun, four pistols, and a spade handle, went with their faces blackened to the lands of Rathsalla, in the county of Tipperary, on the estate of Andrew Roe, Esq., and attacked two keepers that were placed on so me property distrained for rent by that gentle man, due to him between two and three years. One of the keepers begged his life, and was suffered to escape ; the other fought them, and was fired at and beaten in a shocking manner. Next day Mr, Roe seized all the cattle belonging to his refractory tenants, and lodged them in the adjacent pound, placing an additional guard over them. Ti►e tenan try then came in and paid up their arrears. TIIE NOTORIOUS JOSEPH ADY. We perceive that this indefatigable personage is extend ing the sphere of his op,rations into all parts of the United Kingdom, but from the many exposl:4 which have taken place in London, he is likely to reap but a sorry harvest. We would advise him to " retire" with the fruits of his labours hitherto, and not spend them in writing paper, for be is now too well known to enable him to obtain gulls. In the mean time we will republish three paragraphs from papers which we have received, by which it will be seen that he is almost as well known in Sc Aland and Ireland as in En land. JOSEPH ADY.-We were on Thursday honouied with one of this impostor's printed epistles, in which he coin• plains of injury inflicted upon his " reputation" by the Lord Mayor of London ! In his list of the benefited by his philanthropic exertions he has the names of nearly the whole court of aldermen. He concludes by hoping we shall do him justice. We must delegate that task to Mr. Ketch ; and the sooner that gentleman favours Mister My with " a line" the better for that public upon whom he preys —Liverpool Albion, Sept. 9. The notorious Joseph My, who has so often made his appearance at the Mansion House in London, for annoying people with letters about imaginary unclaimed legacies and dividends, has last week inundated Glasgow and the neigh bourhood with these pieces of imposition. It seems that Ady has a regular agent in various parts of the country, from whom he receives information relative to the parties most likely to be easily gulled. A great number of letters have been returned to the Post-office.— Glasgow Herald, Sept. 9. _ _ . JOSEPH ADY.—This notorious swindler has had the impudence within these few days to write to the Editors of various papers in Dublin, requesting of them to insert a lung statement of his in contradiction to the Lord Mayor of London's exposure of his frauds. The public should be on their guard against him, or any other perscn, (as it is probable his name having become so notorious, he wi!l use some other,) who may write, stating that for a trifling suns they can give them some important information—in all such cases they may be sure it is an attempt to rob them.—Dublin Evening Mail, Sept. 7. Hops.—The accounts from the hop districts represent the injury done to the plants by the late storms as most distressing. The picking has commenced in some parts of Kent ; but the produce, which but a short time since was anticipated to be a full average one, is very li mited. In the grounds of Mr. Douce and Mr. Wise, at Boxley, the damage done has made a difference of to o bags an acre. A large grower at Farnham has had his crop reduced from 15 to 8 cwt. an acre ; and it is stated that few others will realise more than 5 cwt , and on an average not more than 3 cwt. In some grounds in the neighbourhood of Worcester almost every pole has been pro4trawd, while in others the damag, has not been so great ; however, the growers will experience a very severe loss. The damage at Orchard Portman (Devonshire) is also stated to be very great. One consequence of all this injuly Gi course will be to improve the demand and raise the price of old hops. No guess can at present be made of the probable amount of the duty. The intelligence from East Retford is of the same gloomy character. SMUGGLING OF WHISKEY TO ENGLAND. DUBLIN, SEPT. 6.—A novel spectacle was witnessed yes terday at the Worth-wall. About four o'clock,' while a number of hogsheads of porter were shipping on board the Express steamer, for Bristol, a revenue officer came on board, and after a slight inspection, discovered that seve ral of the casks bearing the labels of " Guinness's porter" contained, insteld of porter, pure whiskey. The officer, as usual, made inquiries aloud for an owner who would pay the duty; but no one choosing to claim that honour, he knocked in the heads, and calling seve ral persons to witness that the liquid within was whiskey, not porter, he spilled it overboard, and shortly after wards the Express proceeded to sea. There not the slightest suspicion attaching either to the 'respectable firm of Guinness or to the owners of the steam-packet in this disreputable transaction. Great and increasing quantities of Guinness's porter go to England annually, and the smuggler, whoever he was, seized the opportunity of get ting his articles shipped in good company. It is strongly suspected that contraband shipments of this nature have been going on for some time. Since the conquest of Syria the Viceroy of Egypt has found himself in contact with Emir-Beschir, Prince of Lebanon, who can bring from 40 to 48,000 men into the field, and is, consequently, a neighbour not to be despised. In the late war the Egyptians solicited his alliance, and obtained from him an auxiliary corps of from 15,000 to 20,000 Drusw. s and Maronites. As a reward for this succour he was to be invested with the Govern ment of Syria. This promise, however, has not been fulfilled. Hence the Viceroy and the Emir are not at present on friendly terms. The Prince of Lebanon has never been subjugated by the Turks, but he consented to pay a tribute of 400,000 piastres, on condition that they should allow him a passage for the provisi, ns which he requires in his mountainous country. The chief town of Lebanon is Dier-el-Kamer, containing 10,000 inhabitants. Etnir-B, , schir resides opposite this town, in a castle built on a rock, and fortified like those of the Barons of the middle ages in Europe. Emir Pacha is 66 years of age, and possesses great energy. His eldest son being an idiot, he has destined his second son to succeed him. DESTRUCTIVE Ft RE.—About eleven o'clock on the evening of Friday last, a small factory opposite to Mr. William Shaw's packing woik, and situated in a worked out quarry, on the south side of King-street, was discovered to he on fire. It had originated in the shop of a weaver. The whole fabric was constructed of wood, and about 61) feet high by 140 long; and containing a factory, a heckle-house, a might's and lath .splitter's shop, and a store of coals, presented a set of objects in the highest t'eg,Te liabla to suffer from conflagration. By 12 o'clock, within an hour and a half of the first sparks being com municated, the whole structure was level with the ground, its remains lying in shapeless heaps of IA and blazing charcoal. About 1,5001. of property, amongst which ts astiralv tiontrnvad-- Dundee. Pafler. nearly 1,0001. of wood belonging to Mr. Scott, was MISS NIARTINEAU. The extraordinary success of Miss Martineau's " Il lustrations of Political Economy" is well known. A French edition is DOW publishing in Paris ; and the trans lator, M. B. Maurice, naturally anxious to prefix to his work some account of the writer, appears to have addressed to her a letter of inquiry, and has published a translation of her interesting reply. We are indebted for the re translation here given to the Monthly .Repository—a work we have often commended for the freshness and ♦igour of its original papers:— MISS HARRIET MARTINEAU TO M. B. MAURICE. " London, June 3, 1833• " Sir,—l cannot refuse to give you the particulars for which you ask in a letter I have just received, respect ing myself and the work which, after having excited your attention, has given you an emp:oyment that I fear must sometimes be a tedious one. The curiosity which the authors of popular works generally excite is innocent and natural; I have felt it too often myself, not to be inclined to satisfy that which I may excite in others. " My family is of French origin, as my name must al ready have suggested to you. All that is known of it is that my great grandfather, who was a surgeon, quitted France on account of his religion, at the time of the re vocation of the edict of Nintes, awl settled at Norwich, in the county of Norfolk, where he married a French lady, who had emigrated at the same period and for the same reasons. Ever since, my family has main tained an honourable station in society, the eldest sons always practising surgery, the others devoting them selves to commerce or msnufictures. My father, the youngest of five brothers, was the proprietor, at Nor wich, his native place, of one of the - manufactories pe culiar to that town. He had eight children, of whom I am the sixth. " I was born in tLe month of June, 1802. The following are the principal circumstances which have combined to give me a 'taste for literary pursuits: my health, now perfectly good. was extremely delicate in my childhood ; I have been, ever since that period, afflicted with an infirmity (deafness) which, without absolutely depriving me of all intercourse with the world, has forced me to seek occupations and pleasure within my self : lastly, that which has contributed to it more than all the rest, is the affection subsisting between me and that one of my brothers whose age is nearest to my own, and who adopted one of the learned professions. " The first work that I published was a little volume entitled Devotional Exercises,' for the use of young persons. It appeared in 1822, and its success encou raged me to let it be followed soon by another of the same description, entitled ' Addresses, with Prayers and Hymns, for the use of Families and Schools.' About this time a circumstance occurred which was the origin of that series of tales you are now engaged in translating. A country bookseller asked me to compose for him some little work of fiction ; 1 thought that I might join the useful to the agreeable, as I had the choice of the subject, if I could show the folly of the populace of Manchester, who had just been destroying the machinery, to the great detriment of the manufacturers, on which their bread depended. I produced a little story, entitled ' The Rioters,' and the following year another, on wages, called " Turn Out.' I was far from suspecting, while 1 wrote them, that wages and machinery had anything to do with political economy ; I do not even know whether I had ever heard the name of that science. It was not till some time afterwards, that reading Mrs. Marcet's Conversa fon% on Political Economy,' I perceived that I had written political economy, as M. Jourdain spoke prose, without knowing it. Mrs. Marcet's excellent work suggested to me the idea that if some principles of the science had been successfully laid down in a narrative form, all might be so equally well. Front that moment I was continu ally talking with my mother and the brother whom I have mentioned to you, of the plan which I am at present executing. Nevertheless, I had no friend in the literary world. which is indispensable towards gaining the confi , dence of the booksellers. No one who could be of any use to me would pay any attention to my plan. Really I cannot complain much of this; it must, I own, have ap peared whimsical enough, and, all things considered, of very doubtful success. I atn far from regretting this delay, which has enabled me to exercise myself in dif ferent kinds of composition, and has left me time to acquire some knowledge of the world, a thing so neces• sary to the truth of descriptions so varied as mine must be. " During the three years which preceded the publica tion of my tales, I was constantly writing on different subjects ; I was, besides, employed in reviewing works on metaphysics in the Monthly Reposito r y, a periodical,t and heed i t t i o k r eol o oy f g ‘v which, the Rev. W. J. Fox, is, after lily brother James, the steadiest friend and the best guile that I have ever had in literature and in philosophy, I published, besides, in 1830, the Traditions of Pales tine.' In the course of the following year, the Association of Unitarian Dissenters, to whom I belong, printed three essays of mine, which bad obtained prizes, and which were addressed to the Catholics, the Jews, and the Moho • metans. Meantime I had quite made up my mind to risk the publication of my Illustrations of Political Econo my.' The plan had been rejected by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, though only two or three of the members had paid any attention to it. No book seder of any reputation would hear of my work, and when the recommendation of the literary man I have men tioned had determined one to attemot the enterprise, it was begun, a thousand voices uniting to announce that it would not succeed. At ihe end of one month success was certain. " I was sure that it would be so ; not that I exagge rated my talents: I am as far as ever from thinking that this work has succeeded because it has been written by me; but I think that the want of such a work was felt so much by the public, that it was sure to be caught up with eagerness. This conviction gave me the courage to undertake it, and its being so well timed is sufficient by itself to explain the great number of copies which have been so!d. " My intention at first was only to publish twenty four tales; but as the taxes are a subject towards which the pultlic mind is particularly directed at present, and as there is the greatest necessity that the people should be enlightened with regard to them, I have resolv,d to en large my plan, and to go as far as thirty tales. .‘ As it has been erroneously supposed that my work was finished before I began the publication of it, I am glad to have an opportunity of telling you, that I only write each tale in the month before it is printed, that I may have the advantage of the newest discoveries upon the subject of which I treat. No one but myself sees them before they are given to the printer, and no one has ever helped ins in their compilation. My brother, the only individual whose assistance I could accept, lives at Liverpool. hcannot therefore consult him. Last autumn I quitted Norwich for London, where I intend to remain. " Besides my Tales, which appear monthly, I have just undertaken a little series of fur numbers on oor system of poor laws, which will be circulated by the S3ciety for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. The first, entitled The came out a fortnight ago; the second will be published in the coure of the summer. " There is not at present any pin trait of me published, but Finden is engraving one on steel, which will, I believe, soon be out. " I think I have answered all your questions ; nothing remains but to assure you of the interest with which I shall see your translation. I shall be happy to own myself in debted to you, if, through your means, I can render to the French people the services that my countrymen have allowed me to render to them. " I am, Sir, very sincerely, yours, &c. " HARRIET MARTINEAU." NEW PINS.—A new pin has been recently introduced. The head is still formed of a separate piece of wire, but fashioned in the shape of the frustrum of an inverted cone, and more firmly fixed on ; ever those beads have been known to come off. To put this incon venience beyond the possibidty of accident the new im provement has been devised. The pin consists of one entire piece of metal ; the head is formed out of the wire of the pin itself; it nearly resembles the conical head, but is smaller and neater. We learn that the different parties of sportsmen have been successful on the moors in the neighbourhood of Braemar. Mr. Duff and party have shot about 200 brace a week, at Corrimuizie ; Lord Hopetoun, Lord Home, and Colonel Hill, about 250 brace, at Castletown ; Mr. Punsonby and party about 500 brace, at Spittal, of Glenshee ; and Lard Darling and party about 130 brace, or r; ;rrimhiol....Edinburoh Evening, ennr,Tht
