There is one little work, 7'he -Economist, almost exclusively devoted to the dis cussion of practical principles in this science, which it treats in a plain, familiar, and intelli gible manner, and which we take the liberty Of recommending to the attention of our Readers. One of the Sunday Newspapers has also begun to give a regular weekly Essay on Political Economy ; but we forbear to mention it by name, as it has committed the impropriety of assuming the title of " The Economist " for the head of its weekly essays, though it surely can not be ignorant that a publication under the game name regularly appears every Satur day. We hope, after this hint, that the Sunday Paper alluded to will adopt some other .title. for its. useful lucubrations, and redeem itself from this (to say the least of it) appearance of illiberality. In the mean time, it is raaifyina• to find that increased attention has • °C late been given to- the subject* There is too much reason to fear that a fatal reliance has been Placed upon the speculative opinions of mere theorists, and th at the affairs of society and of government have hitherto been conductedupon Friuciples laid down by ingenious men, who .Were, however, ignorant of their actual operation 111 Practice, and who have' thus unintentionally Perpetuated the . existence of extensive w retched ness in societv, long after the discoveries of the Other sciences had provided th e m e ans by w hi c h Pov erty might be subdned.

PARIS, OCT. B.—The KING of ENGLAND , dr rived on the '.2d at Aix-la-Chapelle. His 'MA JESTY was, escorted as far as the frontiers of Prussia by a detachment of Belgic Lancers.- -During his I"IAJESTY's residence at Lille, many persons solicited the honour of being admitted to his presence. Among the number was . Madame BAyAan, of Armoutieres, who was for a 'short time the nurse of, the Duke de BoancAux, but who was obliged to give up the office on account of ill health. This Lady presented her son, the foster-brother of the young Prince, to his MA- J ESTY, who was lavish of his caresses on the child. HANOVER, SEPT. 29.—His MAJESTY, OUT So vereign, who is expected here on the 4th or 6th, will throw off the incognito on entering our territory. The necessary orders have been given for his MAJESTY'S reception at Osnabruck. The KING will sleep at Diepholz or Nieuborg. The second regiment of Hussars has set out to escort. WS MAJESTY. Our Sovereign will proceed from this place to Gottingen. Among the foreigners of distinction expected here is the Archduke FERDINAND of Austria. It is said that the King of PaussiA will send the Counts de TAUENZIEN, de BORSTEL, and de NATZMER, to compliment our Sovereign. The troops ordered to assemble in our town and the neighbourhood are arrived, and we are in daily expectation of the arrival of Count de MUNSTER from Dernebourg. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY or-WESTMIN STER.-The new front to Westminster Hall is an earnest of future improvements ; the whole of that extensive building is to be repaired ; the ancient • statues : of the Saxon Kings and Judges are to be restored in their proper niches ; the armorial bearings of the founder, Rufus, and his Knights, are to be replaced, and also those of Richard the Second. But ab6ve all, the renovation of the Chapel of Henry the 7th must attract admiration ; by this means all the designs of the great Sir Edward Belkuass again placed before us. Some, indeed, have censured the execution for the profusion of monsters sprawling (such the expression of the critic) about the sacred building, viz. .lions, dra gons, greyhonuds, &c. These were anciently called " the King's beasts'," or his 'heraldic bearings, to denote the illustrious Houses from which that Sovereign descended. Why the dragon is so often introduced is, the most obvious - ; it was the favourite banner of the Seventh Henry, because borne by Cadwallader, fromwhom that King boasted his.desc,e'nt. it was his standard in Bosworth Field when he overcame Richard the Third, and which, aftef' the victory; on his arrival in the capital,he caused to be offered as a trophy, with thanks g iving, in the ch urc h o f St. Paul ; and farther t o do honour to this stand ard, Henry instituted the office of .Rouge Dragon Pursuivant. he like banners of the dragon are within the chapel, on the beautiful tomb of this Monarch. The alterations and improvements in St..Tames's Palace will be on a much larger scale than was originally contemplated. They will embrace the suite of apartments occupied by the Duke of CUMBERLAND. A grand portico will be opened into St. James's Park directly in front of St. James's-street. The new Duchy of Cornwall Office, now build ing near the scite of the Savoy. close to Waterloo Bridge, will be a lofty edifice, corresponding with So►nerset House, and in a line with it and the Adelphi. LEITH WALK.,- 7 —We lately noticed what we considered .a great improvement in the coinmunication between this City and Leith, the paving one of the foot paths of the Waik, which was then in progress. The measure, we understand., has met with opposition, and has in consequence been inter dicted, and consequently the work for the present suspended.— (Edinburgll Courant, Oct. 8.) LORD CHANCELLOR ihanwicKE.-- 7 -This great lawyer's attention. to business was so great, that on the (lay of his marriage he went to chambers as soon as the ceremony was over, to Inspect his papers as usual. The gold plate, which was ordered to be made in lieu of those articles which were carried off by some enthusiastic hands from the Coronation Banquet, was on Saturday deposited in the Jew el House, at the Tower, which now once more boasts the whole Regalia complete. STEAM-ENGINE SMOKE-CON!•UMPTION ACT.— We hear that bills of indictment are preparing to be preferred at the Quarter Sessions, under Mr. M. A.

The Commissioners of the Police, on Wed nesday last, (3d instant,) determined to _enforce the provisions of Mr. M. A. TAyLort's Act, for removing the nuisance of smoke arising from Steam-engines, in every part of the district over which their authority extends.----( _Manchester Herald.) HOAX IN ARLINGTON - STREET, rICCADILLY.- Some mischievous persons have been reviving the stale joke of a hoax among the various furnishing tradesmen of the metropolis, which, from the dull season of the year, has been very promptly at tended to. Various written orders have been sent to upholsterers, cabinet-makers, ironmongers, and others, to furnish different articles for Lord ARBUTHNOT, who, it was represented, had taken and was fitting up a town mansion in Arlington street, No, 26. Yesterday and the day before, the street was visited by great numbers of these deluded tradesmen, all in high expectation of some good order, when, to their. .great disap pointment, they discovered that Lord ARBUTH NOT had given no orders, nor is there auy lumber. beyond 25 in the street.

In the morning, the whole of his imple ments of husbandry were displayed hanging in front ,of the Drum Inn, tin trophies in honour of the day. bathe evening a considerable number of the respectable inhabitants of the place assembled in the Drum 'Pea Gardens,witen John Coleman, sup ported by two, of his sons under a canopy of laurel, preceded by a band of music and flags flying, and followed by his fellow_ 'workmen two and two, and accompaniAl by a large concourse of people, procekled to the hous es o f t h e pr i nc ip a l inhabitants of the place ; and it was truly gratifying to' witness the recep tion he met with from each of them-, On the approach to each house the band formed on the lawn in front, playing " Qop save the King," while thcw(a-thyold man Was met by the h ea d of each family at the door, and wcicoupjland congratulated on the 'respect shewn him by his neighbours on the occasion a'on leav ing each house three hearty'efieers were given • and on returning to-the Drum he wa s m e t by th e landlord;and conducted to his seat, overhung with boUghs of laurel, at the upper end of a large booth, erected on purpose, capable of containing upwards of 3(10 people, where, from the liberal subscription ell' many of the principal inhabitants of the neighbourhood, he and his fel loW-workmen partook of an excellent supper, and nearly a butt of beer was distributed to those whei chose to partake'of It. On the Chairman giving the health of John Coleman, a bright example of hone s ty, ind us t r y, a nd integrity, with three,. it was received and drank with univers a l' applause, and a succession of toasts followed, viz. : " The King"_._." The, Proprietor of Widmer.

This sur prising character is now seventy-five years of age, and never knew a day's illness : inured to hard work from his cradle, it became so habitual to him, that to - this day, he could no more live without employment than any other man could live with out food. He has brought up and educated in sonS!and daghtets (several of whom are now livi ng in respectable cir cumstances) without ever having received, and would even now disdain to receive, parochial relief; he is esteemed and.respected by all who know him. This indeed is a rare lesson to all, whe,a the: his superiors or his equals. It may. teach his superiors that however fortunate they may have been in obtaining the , goods and riches of this world, that unless they act so as to en sure it, they may . in vain look for the respect and esteem of their heighboars, and mankind in general ; and his equals may learn, that however humble iheir situation in lif e may be, if they are honest, sober, and industrious, they will obtain the esteem and respect of all who know them in an equal degree with their fellow-workman, John Coleman. It may perhaps be needless to add; that' the company did not separate till a late hour, highly pleased with their entertainment.—(Kentish Gazette, Oct. 9.) POETItV.

CovEN"r-GARDEN.----The comedy of The -Anti quarg, another drama derived from the popular novels which, on account of their .high, literary merit, have been generally ascribed to Sir 'Wu, TER SCOTT, was represented last night at this theatre, for the first time this season. -- 1 t was well attended and Well supported : - Miss - IL tL LANUE, for the first time,- took the part of Isa bella IVardaur, and fully justified what we have said of her . improved •merit as an actress. her musical exertions were most deservedly. ap plauded. Ltsrox's OLlbuck is one of his most efforts, and indeed he can do nothing that will not afford high amusement. BLAN. cuAan in Caxon also proved'hirnself a good pr o p to the piece. We are sorry to see Mrs. FAucty, a good actress, assigned to such a part as gispeth, as the weakness, decrepitude, and infirmity of old age are not the proper-objects of dramatic repre sentation. 'Vice and corrigible folly are the legi, tirnate subjects of . the drama, and it is absurd as well as useless to introduce what is not suscept;ble of moral improvement. There was 'a numerous audience. lIA - vmAnri - ET.—The play of Rob Roll, which has been soattractive at the winter Theatres, was last nig,ht-brought forward in such a manner at this house as to be highly creditable to the judg . - went and liberality of the inanagement. The play was well cast in general, but the perform ance of prominent and striking merit was TERRI: 's Rob Rog. There are always strong marks of good sense and reflection in this actor; . . - he has obviously entered with critical preci sion into the character of the hardy Gitilazc, which - he embodies- with most vigorotrt=--etrert.

A tiTIQUITI ts.---=The Roman A ntiqui tin•which have been lately discovered at Castor, near Peterbo rough, have led some persons to suppose that the ancient Roman town cf Durobrevie, mentioned by Antoninus, was at that place. But it is differently laid down by almost every sub. sequent topographicA writer on the subject; some placing it on the right, and others on the left Beak of the river Vene.— Camden, Bridiqs, and Morton, severally notice it, and have assigned it to the t]ifirent stations of Castor, Water Newton, "and a spot answering to what is at preSent known by the name of the Castles, on the• right Bank of the River below Chester ton in Iluntirivdcnshire. • Whether the City ever extended so far as to indudc ah these places, it is probably now too late to deterinine ; but from the olseoveries lately made, no doribt can' exist that an 'impcntant part of it stood upon the , ground now occupied by the ville 2 e of Castor. It is probable that here stood the Prectorium, or residence of the principal officer, as the beau tiful parement.composing the fl oor o f some o f the apartments. laid open may lead us to infer; and it does not appear that pavements of a like description have ever been discovered at any of the other places above mentioned In an historical point of view, these discoveries, if !ncourasred and prosecuted, may , • lead to important results ;—first, wito regard to the Preetoriurn: second, the Tunis Exploratoria, which Morton conjectures to have been ,:aced on Mill-hill and, third, the regular fort, on the bask of the river below Chesterton. It is highly de sirable that a part of the public money, voted to the support of the British Museum, should be laid out in the purchase of these interesting antiquities, which connect the history of England with that of that warlike people.—The ruins of a Roman theatre have been laid open lately at 31endeure, in the-department of Doubs, is Fiance, and the antiquaries !are busied in ascertain ing its dimensions, and conjecturing what town it.belonged to, as the cornices and ornaments found near it proVe it was not a temporary erection for the entertainment of the Roman soldiery. PoTAToE FATTENINO:-The following instance of the value of the potatoe -in the fattening of cattle, is-deserv ing of notice - :--Twenty-One acres were phuited with potatoes, from the produce of which .forty fat beasts have been kept from the first week in February, to the end of last month ; also, seven cows, many pigs, &c. There still remains sufficient for the beasts for three weeks to come, and peed for twenty-one acres. The Gentleman who made the experiment considers one acre of potatoes equal to two of turnips ; with this advantage, that when the potatoe begins to germ, it is even more nutri tious than when 'first taken out of the ground. The beasts average fifty stone : cost. er acPe POTATOES.—A Gentleman' residing peal-Sher borne, who has this year adopted the plan of planting potatoes at the distanoc of a foot from each other, a few days since dug up . a single root, which produced an increase of no less than t flirty -silren, twenty-seven of which were remarkably large.
