W'il'e the mini,teri-d organs chuckle, as in duty tee Cnichester, Cirencester, Warwick, and &Eiderland election:, we, who own no ministerial alle giaktee, may (I,uht whether this accord of constituencies denotes so much love of Sir ROBERT PEEL as defective electoral ins itutions. With the ballot at Chichester would L.brd ARTHUR LENNOX, the Duke ot RICHMOND'S broter, but member of a Government which the Duke of RicitmoNn oist-u.ts. have necessarily triumphed, by the Duke of RICHMOND'S influence, over the Duke of Rictimoma's politics ? With the ballot at Cirencester, would Mr. CRIPPS, stripped of Lord BATHURST'S in fluence, and the influence of his, father's bank, and left to the resources of his own eloquence, have been sure of re-election ? Is it even clear that the Cirencester con stituency of two or three hundred is entitled to be repre sented ? Armed with the ballot, the Warwick electors would, douhreis, leave snapped their fingers at Warwick Castle, and laugh , d in the face even of a Greenwich commissioner. And with the ballot we will not believe that the electors of Sunderland would have made a shameless sacrifice of public duty to local interest ; and, under the great responsibility of choosing a worthy successor to Lord fIOWICK, have allowed a mere fortu nate railway adventurer to triumph over the venerable author of the Corn-law Catechi(.m. Other questions have for some time past thrown ques tions of Parliamentary reform into the back-ground ; but, sooner or later, public attention will be again roused to the necessity of the ballot, and to the large number of small nomination and corrupt boroughs which still disfigure our representative system. We can conceive nothing mere likely to revive the interest in further Par liamentary reform than such a batch of farces of election as ha, just now followed a shuffle of the small Govern ment cards. Otte more such farce is to be played in Lintithgowshire, where a Government dummy. who has been rewarded for a few years' service of silent voting by the governorship of the Isle of Man, is to be replaced, by dint of landlord influence and faggot votes, by ano ther adherent of Sir R. PEEL. Bel;ast, abandoned by Mr. EMERSON TENNENT fur a life-provision in Ceylon and a knighthood, will nut allow itself to be made over quite so quietly to any ther Conservative ; and Mr. O'CONNELL'S sun raises the banner of repeal against the huh ~e 10 losieg Mr. E3IERSON TENNENT the Government have lost tile sole rep resentative o f a l arge manufactur i ng constituency among them. Mr. CARDWELL, to be sure, repro cents a small English manufacturing borough— Chttiero, but M. CARDWELL was carefully placed in an otli;e which did not require re-election, because he did not dare to run the risk of defeat, and, whenever a general electbn comes, Mr. CARDWELL will have to look elsewhere. It is somewhat strange, also, that Mr. EMERSON TENNENT'S vacancy in the Government has not been filled by some other Irish representative. Ire land has anything but its fair share of representation in Sir 11. PEEL'S Government. Mr. EMERSON TENNENT gone, the only two officials connected with Ireland are two representatives of Irish counties, but hardly Irish men—Mr. CORBY, Secretary to the Admiralty, who re presents Tyrone, and Mr. JOIN YOUNG, Secretary to Treasury, who reen-sents GA-an. We mention this, not to fan any vulgar jealoasy, but as a proof of the lanai; •f s it ;'Else's Gor, ronent nn sny popular fee:ing. Mr. SREIL, Mr. M. O'FERRALL, and Mrs WicsE, were inern:(ers (if the Whig Government. YOUNG and Mr. Coaair, the representatives of Ireland in Sir It PEEL'S Government, are Englishmen in all h~tl;n ; ~ ~~~,' i rHE 1111 N, their feelings, habit*, and connexions, and neither of them probably spends a month of the year in the sister country. A Government, we believe, more wanting in popular strength; could not be put together than that of Sir R. PEEL. Every new accession is an accession not of talent, or of the representative of a popular constituency, but of aristocratic or monied interest, and respectable, but certainly not sublime, mediocrity. Never was there a Government, among whose younger members was thcre less talent, or less future promise : and yet, when Sir ROBERT PEEL has an opportunity of adding three re cruits, whom does he take but Lord ManoN, Sir C. DOUGLAS, and Mr. CRIPPS, not one of whom—not even Lord MAnoN, with all his admitted literary accomplish. ments--has given any sign that the public know of, of Parliamentary ability. There are young men of talent among Sir ROBERT PEP.L'S party : but the genius of sublime mediocrity repels talent, and talent will not tie itself down to an undeviating allegiance to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S caput mottuum of Conservatism. And so such men as Lord JOHN MANNERS, Mr. MONKTON MILNES, and Mr. SMYTHE, are passed over for Sir CHARLES DOUGLAS, LORD ARTHUR LENNOX, and Mr. CRIPPS. A lett3r from Athens, of the 30th, says :—" The Government has just discovered the existence of a plot in the garrison of Nauplia. Several superior and in ferior officers have been provisionally placed under arrest, and a jadicial investigation is now going oa. It appears that the projects of the conspirators are con • nected with the general plans of the Opposition. The gravest suspicions weigh on certain persons, and the public waits with impatience the issue of the measures taken by the Government." It would appear that the position of the COLETTI Administration is very precarious. Accounts have been received of the resignation of M. B•LBI, the Minister of Justice, and of Rear-Admiral CINARIS, the Minister of Marine. A Constantinople journal of the 26th ult. has the fol lowing :—" M. BOTTA, the French Consul at Mossoul, has just arrived at Constantinople, on his way to France, on leave of absence. M. A. BARROT, Agent and Consul- General of France in Egypt, who came here a few days ago with his family, takes his departure to-morrow in the Eurotas for Smyrna, whence the war• steamer envier will convey him to Alexandria. By order of the Porte a commission has been appointed to inquire into the conduct of Captains Lambert and Dublin, of the steamers Medzerai Tidjaret and Iscudar, on the occa sion of the unfortunate accident which happened on the 11 th instant. in the Black Sea. As both the captains are Englishmen, the Government has thought it proper that the commission should be mixed, and therefore it is composed of Mehemet Ali Pacha President ; Tahyz Bey, Hussein Bey, Moustafa Effendi, &del Effendi, four captains of the Ottoman fleet, the commanders of the foreign ships stationed at Constan tinople, and four captains of English, Austrian, iitir dinian, and Greek trading vessels. An official com munication will be made to-day to all the embassies interested, in order that they may co-operate in forming the commission of inquiry." It would appear that the negotiations at Erzeroum for a settlement of the points in dispute between Persia and Turkey are not likely to be brought to a speedy termination. Accounts from Circassia state that Count WORONZOFF had left Tiflis at the head of 20,000 men, for the pur pose of attacking the mountaineers. The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE was expected at Con stantinople, on his return from the Archipelago. Swiss papers to the 12th have been received. On the 11th the Diet at Zurich had resolved by a majority of 14 that the Federal staff officers who took part in the expedition of the free corps against Lucerne should be struck offthe roll of the army. The motion was ineffec tually opposed by Berne, Argau, and Bale country. On the 12th it was moved that a Federal recommenda tion be made to Lucerne to pardon the prisoners and the condemned by default, and to recal all others to the canton. This proposition, however, R as rejected. The new Constitution of the canton of Vaud was adopted on the 10th by the people assembled for that purpose in the different districts. At Lausanne, the majority in favour of the new Constitution was 1,391 to 732, and for the maintenance of the Grand Council 1,246 to 662. Madrid papers to the 9th have been received. They speak of plots, real or imaginary, having been discovered at Seville and other places. The fler aid() has an article on the subject of the QUEEN'S marriage, strongly advocating the cause of Don HENRY. The Gaceta has the following official contradiction of the statement which had appeared in the Heraldo relative to the financial operations of M. Mort : The Heraldo of yesterday, adverting to the operations of the Minister of Finances, affirms that he has recourse to secret loans in order to supply his wants. The assertion of that journal is most false." Several waggon-loads of plate and furniture had been Forwarded from Madrid to Pampeluna. General PRIM had written from Marseilles to con tradict the report that he was about to proceed to Spain His destination is Italy. The Bourse on the previous day (Saturday) closed as follows :—Three per Cents., for cash, 30i ; for account 31. Five per Cents., for account, 22 9.16. We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Friday, and such of them as were published on Satur day, but Friday having been kept as a close holiday, many of the papers were not published the following morning. The National of Friday has the following on the subject of the health of the KING:— " The report has spread at Paris of the King's health having been within the last few days less satisfactory than usual. It was affirmed that he had exper i enced, five or six days ago, a certain giddiness and sortie symptoms of somewhat more gravity. It, however, appears that this accident has not been very serious, and that it has only rendered a little more exercise on foot necessary. A person who saw Louis Philippe two days ago, states that no alteration was observable either in his gait or features, with the except►on, perhaps of some sanguine injection in his eyes. We find this evening in the Messager accounts of the 13th, stating that the King has walked out, and that he has been and visited a large establishment. Nothing, therefore, hitherto confirms the rumours that had reached us." The new electoral lists for Paris have been published. The operation of the new law of patentes has had the effect of reducing the constituency from 21,000 to 16,000. A similar reduction, and from the same cause, has, it is affirmed, taken place in several commercial towns. The Prince DE BERGHES was on Friday convicted of having forged the cheques of the Jockey Club of Parts, and sentenced to three years' imprisonment, and 100 f. fine. Marshal BIJCEAUD is expected to arrive in France on the 18th, on leave of absence. It was generally imagined that he would be recalled ; certain it is, that his return will lead either to the retirement of Marshal Souvr or of himself. The general wish seems to be not only that Marshal BUGEAUD should be recalled, but that the whole system of government in Algeria should be re formed. We extract the following observations on this subject from the Commerce : " In our opinion it would be rendering a great service to Algeria not to send Marshal Bugeaud back to the colony. We will even add that he ought not be replaced by a military governor. If we are still obliged to defend our possessions, and have still struggles to sustain, war is no longer our grand and sole occupation. We have an immense territory which now needs only labour—a territory which we must cultivre, plant, and colonise. What is the hand which should effect this magnificent change ? Is it that of the warrior ? Cer tainly not. What is now wanted at the head of Algeria is a statesman. It is statesmen whom England appoints to govern India, notwithstanding the wars of which it is the theatre. The persons whom she selects are the most eminent and dis tinguished of those acquainted with the principles of adminis tration. In colonization we ought not to disdain the example of England, and why should we not follow it ?" The Phare of Bayonne states that the meeting between the Queen of Se.ux and the Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS at Pampeluna, is to take place on the 4th of next month, and that General BARNETCREA has been sent to the frontier town of Irun to receive their Royal Highnesses. Preparations are being made at Tolosa to accommodate the Prince and Princess, should they wish to pass the night there. As the Duke DE NEMOURS was suffering from slight indisposition, the departure of the royal party from Bordeaux has been postponed to the 19th or 20th inst. They visit Pau and Tarbes on leaving Bordeaux, and on their return from the Pyrenees to Bayonne they pro ceed by Irun, Oyarzuu, Astigarraga, and Tolosa to Pampeluna. The weather in the southern departments is very bad, and the harvest in many instances totally lost. In Poitou, for example, all hope being at an end, the pro duce of large districts is abandoned, and will rot of course. In the neighbourhood of Paris things are better• A slight reaction took place on the Paris Bourse on Saturday. The Three per Cents. closed on that day at 84f. 40c. ; the New Loan at 84f. 65c. ; the Five per Cents. at 121 f. 95c. ; Orleans Railroad shares, 1,827 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 1,067 f. 50e. ; Vierzon, 7901. ; Havre, 9031. 75 c . ; A v i gnon, 1 , 070 f. ; Basle , 282 f. 50 c.

The latter gentleman arrived in town from the west of England yesterday-, in orJer to be present at the meeting of his friends, held last night at the Bridge-house Hotel. FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL BRUSSELS, Aug. 14.—M. Nothombe, who was erro neously stated to have set out for Berlin, took his oath to the King on Tuesday, in the quality of Envoy Extraor dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty at Berlin. It seems that the apprehensions that were entertained for the crops of potatoes begin to be allayed. Yesterday in the market of Brussels, while the price of corn experi enced a further rise, the price of potatoes, which last week was a few francs per sack of 100 kilogrammes, fell to 4f. 50 centimes, and at the close of the market to 4 francs. But it seems by accounts from Roulers, that the sickly appearance of the potato plants continue to cause much uneasiness. There will be good crops they say of rye, wheat, oats, and beans, if the rain should cease within a few days. _ _ All the steamers of the royal English navy have left the roads of Antwerp, except the Victoria and Albert, which will wait till her Majesty's return. The Moniteur publishes a royal decree, of the 30th of July, at the instance of M. Dechamps, Minister of Pub lic Works, which completes the organisation of the Post office. It consists of eighteen articles, the most curious, but the least gallant, of which is as follows :—" Women are not admissible to employment in the administration of the Post-office."

Sra,—ln the midst of a season of affliction, which has been added to by the circumstances I am about to relate, I feel much reluctance in at all obtruding on public no tice, and should be content to submit quietly to th con duct which has been shown towards me and my tamliy. if it were not for a sense of public duty. About four years ago I lost a sister by consumption at Carisbrook, in the Lie of Wight. Owing to the state of her health she had resided there several years, and according to her wish, she was buried in the church, and of the neighbouring parish of Gatcombe. The then rector of that parish, Dr. Worsley, made no objection to her interment, though I afterwards understood that he was annoyed by my dispensing with the body lacing taken into the church, and only having the service read at the grave. The undertaker, however, informed me that the Doctor seemed very well satisfied when he re. ceived his fee ; and as the objection was not made offen sively, but simply on the gri:und that the deceased had been, and I was, a Dissenter ; and, as it is an every day occurrence in London and other large towns for similar interments to take place, the circumstance had almost faded from my memory, though it was but too well te mernbered by those who treasure up every offence against the exclusive authority of the Church. Little more than a week ago I was called to the '.sl:-nd by the death of another sister. She del in early wo manhood of the same fatal disease, and it was but na tural that we should wish the sisters not to be separated in death. Within the time I have mentioned the former rector, Dr. Worsley, had died, and on Tuesday, July 29th, _I went over to Gatcombe to see his successor, Dr. Thomp son, accompanied by my brother. The Doctor's recep tion of us was most courteous. I asked him if he had any objection to my sister being laid by the &de of the other oue ? His answer was, "Of course I can have no objection." He was told that we were not natives of the island, but that my mother and sister had been residing some years at Carisbrook. He asked why the farmer burial had taken place at Gatcombe instead of Cans • brook, and was informed that it was by the wish of the deceased, with which reason he expressed himself satis fied, and then at his suggestion the three of us went to Gatcombe Church to point out the spot. At the church yard the sexton received directions from the Doctor about digging the grave, and, with his concurrence, the day and hour of the funeral was fixed. Nothing could be more definite and better understood; but on the even ing of the ensuing day I was surprised by receiving the following note:— " Dr. Thompson presents his compliments to Mr. Vid ler, and begs to inform him, that upon inquiry he finds he cannot with propriety bury the corpse of the late Miss Vidler in the churchyard of Gatcomb9, and there fore must reluctantly decline. " Gatcomhe, July 30." It was too late on the evening of the day on which I received this note to go to Gatcombe, but on the follow ing morning I went there. I felt that I had a right to some explanation ; that it ought to be no light thin.; to induce a clergyman and a gentleman to retract a pro mise. I obtained a second interview with Dr. Thomp son. He was cool and distant, but studiously polite; he had all the manner of a man determined not to commit himself. He said, " That as the death had not taken place in his parish, he had a right to refuse without ;riving any reason ; that he thought when he gave his consent the family were in some way connected with the parish - (tas was not true, for on the first interview he had been told most distinctly to the contrary); that Dr. Worsley had always regretted allowing the former in terment; that he was acting under advice, and should decline giving any other reasons." I admitted his legal right to refuse (my request had been made as a courtesy), but that and all the circum stances he had stated, with the exception of the feelings of the late rector, he had known when he gave his con sent. Nor could I help adding, that I thought his conduct most unkind, and quite contrary to the teaching of our Great Master, who taught us to do as we would be done by. To this he answered " That he did not wonder I felt so, but he must do his duty by his parish.' And thus the conference closed without one word from him about what I believe to be the real reason of his refusal, viz., that we were Dissenters. This is no doubt what he learnt by the inquiry he speaks of; and for this reason he refused to allow the ashes of two sisters to mingle together who had loved each other in life, had been supported by one common faith in long and lingering disease, and had met the same early death. If I am mistaken in my opinion I shall be glad to be corrected by the reverend gentleman. It is my present conviction that he refused to bury my sister because he had received information (perhaps clerical) that we were lini•Arian Christians. By some strange omission the Dissenters of the Isle of Wight, though a numerous and a wealthy body, have not obtained for themselves any cemetery of their own; and have is consequence borne most patiently several petty insults from the establi,hed clergy. Had there been such a cemetery, Dr. Worsley would have been spared the regret of which his successor spoke, and I and my family would have been spared b:Ah pain and expense. After my interview with Dr. Thompson, I determined not to expose myself to another refusal, which at such a time seemed almost like an affront to the departed, nor to give another clergy man of the same church an opportunity of showing his zr-al against heresy. So I left the island and crossed to Portsmouth, where, at the High street Chapel, there . is a small grave-yard a tt ac h e d. By th e k in dness of the Rev. H. Hawkes, the minister of that chapel, and the trustees, I obtained permission for the interment to take place there last Saturday. Till then I hardly knew whether it might not be necessary to take the rem ins of my sister to London for a resting place. I refrain from making any comment on the circumstances I have narrated ; I merely wish to put you in possession of the facts, and if their publication in any form appears to you likely to tend to correct intolerance, and promote the cause of religious freedom, you are at full liberty to use the according to your d iscret i on.

POSITIVE " HOT," COMPARATIVE "HOTTER."—The Cincinnati Gazette, with a laudable emulation in the matter of hot weather, and desirous, doubtless, of standing upon equal terms with its contemporaries, makes considerable fuss about the heat experienced a few days since in that city, but it is evident from all we see in its paragraph, that the Gazette knows very little about the meaning of hot weather. It is quite clear that with all his Ei mrishing attempts to put forth a hot article, the editor's knowledge of caloric is deplorably deficient, and it is a suspicious circumstance that he does not (we presume dare not) say a word about the thermo meter. If it was really warm in Cincinnati, why doesn't he tell us how high the thermometer rose ?—New York Paper. _ ~~~ TITESDAIt BlOit,e1:14 • noNE Y and COMMERCIAL 14 E WS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool au Saturday wits steady. Sales 5,000 bales, including 1,000 to 1,500 on speculation. Shares were dull, there being but little doing. We are glad to find from an article in a Montreal paper, that the practicability of the profitable cultivation of hemp is being fully tested by Colonel Delatre, in the Niagara Dis trict. The k,, , reat , cry from all parts of Canada is, as it must be for years, " frivrease our exports ; give us something more to.remit to ESgland, in reduction of the terrible ba lancenhey annually - exhibit against us, by placing her millions of manufactures against our wheat, ashes, staves, &c." England at present pays thousands annually to Russia, for the large quantities of hemp imported ; and it is a great pity that a country so adapted as is Western Ca nada to the production of this article, does not enter into the trade with energy and perseverance. The Montreal Gazette states :—" A gentleman recently arrived in this city from a tour over the Upper Province, re ports extremely favourably of the wheat crops, and of the condition and prospects of that section of the province gene rally, and it is fully expected that when the canals are com pleted, a very large export trade to the West in British manufactures will start. The operation of the American Drawback Bill, he informs us, has so far been felt favourably, as on many articles, which they are accustomed to get by way of the States, they now pay the old instead of the high daby." At Niagara our informant found the cultivation of hemp most successfully practised by Colonel Delatre, who had in operation a scutchen mill worked by two horses. This gentle man is willing to afford inquirers any information relative to its culture and treatment. There can be no doubt that the cultivation of hemp might be carried on profitably to a great extent in this country. The soil and climate are so favourable to it that it grows wild and self-sown so as to become a troublesome weed, and its high price per ton renders it an article of easy freight. It is particularly suited for cultivation, when, as at present, the price o f wheat is very low. Whenever the averages fall below 50s. they began to grow it extensively in Irtland, and when prices of wheat begin to ascend, that again becomes the fa vourite article. But it has this advantage over wheat, that it gives more employment to domestic industry, and, in par ticular, to females. The great difficulty hitherto has been the scutchen by any machinery within the reach of the farmer, but this, we understand, the gentleman we have named has completely overcome. Another minor article of export, but still one of which a good deal might be made, and in our deficiency of exports the smallest ought not to be overlooked, is cranberries. A greater quantity of this fruit than people here would readily believe, is imported into Britain, principally from Russia, but to a considerable extent from Boston. Those of Canada are greatly superior to the Russian, and the supply would only be limited by the industry of the inhabitants in collect ing them. In the London district, and generally in that stretching from the upper shore of Lake Ontario to Lake Huron and St. Clair, there is a great stock of very excellent cattle and of sheep of superior quality, both for mutton and wool, feed ing on undulating downs, like the best of the south of Eng land. By judicious curing, and the protection of the British differential duties, these might be made much more exten sively available for export than they are now. The Public Securities have been quiet to-day, but the quotations are firmer. The sales which were made on Sa turday have no further effect on the market. They were said to be partly on account of the Scotch banks. Consols realised 99 to 99 1 4 for transfer . to-morrow, and 99% to 99 1 4 for time. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been up to 495. and 535. On East India Bonds it is nominally 665. Bank Stock is 2114, and East India Stock is 272. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have been 102% to 102 3 / 4 , and the Three per Cents. Reduced, 99% to %. The Foreign Bonds have been almost a dead letter, there is so little doing. Mexican Five per Cents. have been firm at 35 to 35 1 4, and the Deferred at 19 1 4. Peruvian Stock is steady at 39; and Colombian at 17%. Dutch Four per Cents. have been quiet at 100 1 4. The market for Railway Shares is moderately active. The brokers, we are glad to observe, seem much more disinclined to give countenance to a host of new schemes, and the Committee of the Stock Exchange do not publish a full list of the newest lines, deeming such publication, we presume, too strong en couragement for mere premium hunters. Much is in the power of the brokers themselves in repressing speculation, and if they do not exert their power, they must ultimately be involved in the serious losses of many of their clients. Birming ham shares have improved to 121 and 125 premium ; Great Western are about the same as on Saturday; Bristol and Exeter, Caledonian, and Eastern Counties are steady; the Irish lines are firm, as also Brighton, Blackwall, Croydon, London and York, South-Western, &c.

Vineyards have been too largely spread, and give no returns equi valent to the outlay. The culture of wheat is diminished. but from no other cause than the ab.ence of external demand, and the consequent decline of prices. Great losses have been the result of the application of new hinds to corn production. Of late, an advance has taken place in the prices of grain, but by no means sufficient to repair the losses Of years ; and it is scarcely to be ex pected that the corn lands, which had been so long a source of ruin to the owners, should be again applied to that species of culture. The more fertile lands of the Marensma, will, DO doubt, continue to be applied to the growth of wheat, but only once in several years." " Roman Marshes.—These extend from the confines of Tuscany to the frontiers of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and from the coast of the Mediterranean to the Appenines. This territory is divided into about 600 farms of 500, 1,000, and 1,500 hectares each. The most considerable of these is that of Camp mono, situated in the Pontine marshes, and belonging to the chapter of St. Peter. "There are only from 16,000 to 18,000 inhabitants of the Maremma. The half savage peasantry of Sabino and the A bruszo, to the amount of 25,000 or 30,000, come down annually in the months of July and August to gather in the harvest. The habitual unhealthiness of the Maremma, and perhaps, still more the carelessness and waut of means of preserving their health, of this wandering population soon destroys large numbers of them. " The Maremma include the pontine marshes, which, in the time of the ancient Romans, contained several cities. These marshes, covering a surface of nearly 19,000 hectares, extend to the south of Rome, from Velletri to Terracine. Leo X. and Sixtus V. have both unsuccessfully endeavoured to drain them. Still later, Pius VI. undertook, for the same end, considerable works, but with no better success, though at an expense iif 360,0001. Some parts, however, of the marshes were drained. The present Pope has given them to his nephew, the Duke of Braschi. " M. de Prony, a French engineer, who was sent in 1812 to examine these marshes, estimated the total ex pense of their drainage at 400,0001." We cannot too strongly recommend this noble compilation of modern statistics, in every branch, to the favour and attention of the public. It is wholly without a rival. MR.

On Wednes day an English person, about fifty year s o f age , an d who has passed at different periods under the names of Montague, Sir Charles, and Sir Edward Douglas, died in the Rue de Pon thieu, No. 19, of an intestinal complaint. The deceased was said to be the natural son of a Noble Earl, who held a high offile in the household of George 111., and was married to a very fine woman, but who lived with a military officer, after having lived for some years as the wife of Sir Charles or Edward Douglas. It is added that, atter this elopement, the soi disunt Charles or Edward paid addresses to a widow lady, Madame 8., and at one time a marriage between them was regarded as certain, but the affair was broken off. Atter the death of the soi disant Sir Charles, it was found, to the asto nishment of the persons who were present, that it was a woman and not a man, and we are assured from positive authority, that a medical inspector proved the deceased to be a virgin. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock. The deceased had in France an allowance of 3,0001. a year, made by some member of her family ; but it appears that she was con siderably in debt to her landlord and various tradesmen.— Galignani's Messenger. COMMERCIAL STATISTICS; a Digsst of the Pi odueteve Resources, Commercial Legis!ation, 6.c. of all Notions. By John Macgregor. 2 Vols. [THIRD NOTICE.] This is one of those works the closer examination and more diligent perusal of which cannot fail to confirm the favourable impression that a first and cur sory glance at its contents is sure to produce. The second volume is divided into sections, entitled re spectively, Ottoman Empire; Greece; African States; Russian Empire; Sweden and Norway; Spain; and Portugal. The first volume, comprehending these great ter ritorial divisions —namely, the Austrian Empire, Belgium, Denmark, France, Holland, the Italian States, Gibraltar, Malta, and the lonian Islands—we have already noticed as abounding with an almost incredible variety of statistical information, admirably arranged and so digested as to be available for all purposes of reference at a moment's notice. Perhaps we know less in England of the commerce, resources, and capabilities of the various Italian States and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies than of any other portion of Europe, with, perhaps, the solitary excep tion of the noble island of Sardinia. But for Capt. Smyth's small but interesting volume, we can scarcely boast an English authority on the topography or modern condition of an island, which it is now generally agreed, in conformity with the antique authority of Scylax, is entitled to rank before Sicily in point of territorial extent, and is consequently to be regarded as the l'rgest island in the Mediter ranean. They who do not happen to possess either Capt. Smyth's book, or the Chevalier la Marmora's, may be pleased with a few of the collections made towards a statistical account of Sardinia by Mr. Craig, an English resident there for many years, and by him communicated to Mr. Macgregor. The population of this island (140 nautical miles in length by an average breadth of about 60) is probably 450,000. "The present King and his Government seem now to be seriously engaged in improving the condition of this magnificent and fertile territory." " The King has assumed the place of the feudal barons, and bought their manorial rents at a value equal to twenty years' purchase. Vassalage has been also made redeemable." "It seems that corn is the principal article of export, and in good years the t.:tal exportation from the island may amount to about 500,000 bushels of wheat, 250,003 bushels of barley, 7,500 bushels of maize, 125,000 bushels of beans, 250,000 bushels of peas"—certainly an enormous surplus growth of cereal products, and one which must supply the bt.sis of a most profitable and improvable foreign trade The fisheries, too, must be most productive, if we may judge from a detailed statement of the expenses and receipts incurred and realised on 3,680 tunnies, taken at Saline in 1823. The total of expenses, hire of vessels and boats, wear and tear of nets, oil to pre serve part of fish (an item amounting to 9001.), cost of barrels, victuals and wages of fishers, &c., was 5,1741. The total receipts, 14,690/., showing an aggregate profit of 9,5161., or 186 per cent. Tobacco and other commodities are subjects of royal monopoly, but salt must yield to the Mejesty of Sardinia a more enormous revenue than the " Stade" Duties have been wont to yield to the Crown of Hanover. " Around Cagliari there are three natural salterns, Molentargius, Spiaggia, di Mezzo, and Rollone ; there is also an artificial one at the Lazzlretto, and another at St. Peter's Church, all of which belong to Government, and, if well regulated, would annually pro duce 90,000 salms (2 salms equal to 1 ton). Besides these, there are four artificial salterns in the Gulf of Cagliari, respectively called La Vittoria, Media-plvja, Cortelonga, and La Maddalena, in favourable seasons, yielding together about 12,000 salrns ; these the king has let out. The salterns at Teuladu, have been abandoned for some years ; but, if attended to, would probably yield upwards of 6,000 salms ; and those of Oristano, which produce only 4,000, might be increased to 20,000 salms. The salterns at Terranuova, though much neglected, 3 ield about 1,000 sahns. " His Majesty's expenses for producing the saq are not more than nine reals, or four-fifths of a dollar, per salm, whilst continental subjects are obliged to pay for many thousand salms, at fifty dollars each ; the cards in general pay but five dollars the saltn, and the capital is furnished gratis, in consequence of the salterns ceded by the city to the king." In the Papal States olive trees seem to be retiring before the white mulberry (gelso) trees; and the Pontine Marshes continue, as of old, to be the scourge and the disgrace, the granary and the grave of many Romans.

TIIE QUEEN AND THE COURIER. —A somewhat singular case of wilful disregard to efforts to deliver an im portant dispatch befel that very energetic and efficient French Courier de Cabinet, Mons. Perrier, a few days ago. That gentleman left Calais in a fishing-boat on the afternoon of the 10th inst., ha v i ng i n c h arge a dispatch from the King of the French to the Queen of England. His object was to fall in with the Queen's squadron on its way to the Continent, and he managed the matters very cleverly so far as he was concerned, for he sighted the ships and made for them on Sunday morning. French fishing boats cannot be expected to be largely furnished with bunting ; but what they had to hoist they did, and probably most sorely puzzled thereby the several signal midshipmen of the several ships. Certain it is that not the slightest symptom of an understanding did they hang out, and there fore all that remained to do was to get as much sail on the boat as she could stagger under, and, if possible, come w.thin hail. They did so, and finally contrived to get close to the royal yacht; but not the most distant notice was paid to any effort that was made to obtain attention, and perhaps it was con trary to etiquette to do so on the part of officers having charge of royalty. The same excuse, however, does not apply to the other three steamers, who most courtier-like and ser vilely imitated the bearing of the leading-ship ; and it was all in vain that Monsieur Perrier displayed himself in his uniform, and held up his dispatch, and went alongside of the other three steamers ; they steamed on th e i r stea d y way, and rendered abortive al the management and contrivance for the accom plishing his arduous duty which Monsieur Perrier had so ably displayed, and greatly to his vexation he was forced to return to Calais still the bearer of the dispatch.—Post. HERRING FISHING.-13ERWICK, AUG. 15.—During the last week our boats have only been able to go to sea twice, owing to the continued prevalence of the north and north-east winds, which raised a heavy sea en our bar. They ventured out another night, but were obliged to return without shooting their nets from the swell. This morning a few of the boats have returned with several crans each, but most nf them are again clean. The sea is still stormy, and unless the weather settle in the course of a week our fi,hermen consider the pro spect will be closed. The demand is good, and fair prices—and should the weather change favourably there is a considerable appearance of a fishing.—EYEMOUTH.—Owing to the stormy state of the weather only four of our boats were off on Monday night, which caught from one to five erans each. The price was 20s. per cran, fur London. On Tuesday none ven tured out. Thursday morning brought in the best fishing of the season. Two boats had sixty crans each, a great number from twenty to fifty, and very few less than twelve. The prices were I Is. and 12s. Two Yarmouth vessels have sailed to-day (Thursday) with 100 crans each. There are upwards of eighty boats in the harbour, and the curers are buying with great spirit. The herrings are taken very close to the shore and near the harbour.—Berwick Advertiser. THE WEATHER AND THE CROFS.—UHIPSS the wen. ther clears up, and that very speedily, the corn crops, especially those of wheat and barley, will be seriously damaged. During the last ten days we have experienced bat very little sunshine. We have had much heavy rain, attended, at intervals, with a heavy moist atmoThere. The crops, generally speaking, are very backward. In many localities they are laid, and evi dently damaged. We trust that we may be favoured with bright dry weather, for .otherwise it is awful to contemplate the results.— Carnarvon Herald. GLASGOW.—THE IVEATHER.—This week the weather has been more favourable to the progress of the crops, and we have no doubt, notwithstanding the humid state of the atmosphere previously, that the harvest will be general in a week or two, though the crop may not be so heavy as last year. Various fields of corn have been cut down already throughout the country, and Irish reapers are arriving in great numbers at the Broomielaw. Yesterday was a beautiful day, the sun shining out strong, with a fine drying breeze.—Scotch Re former's Gazette. THE WEATHER.—During the past week a favour able change has taken place, and the glass is now rising steadily. Reaping has begun in various parts of the country, and, should the fine weather continue, there is every prospect that the harvest will soon become general. We are informed that the appearance of the crops everywhere is truly magnifi cent. Grain of all kinds covers the earth with a luxuriance scarcely ever equalled, while of turnips, swedes, potatoes, &c , the present year is perhaps unparalleled in their abundance. Nevertheless it must be acknowledged that the season is of a most critical nature—a great quantity of the wheat crop is much beaten down, and will ineviiably be spoiled should there be more wet weather. On the contrary, should dry weather continue, the wheat harvest will yet be most propitious. In quality, under no circumstances, can the produce of 1845 be equal to that of 1644, nor will the yield of fI tur from a given quantity of corn be either so good or so large; hut the acre age produce in bushels will, we think, be far greater, for where two stalks grew last year, at least three are growing now. Potatoes are an excessive crop, and, by their plenty and cheapness, will go far to mitgate the harm that may have been done to the wheat.— Welshman. KIRKCUDBRIGHT ELECTION.—We learn that great excitement has prevailed throughout the Stewartry for severa days past on the subject of the pending election. The Whigs and Free-traders finding that great advantage was taken by their opponents in stirring up the religious feelings of the voters against Mr. Maxwell, on the ground of his being a Catholic, have withdrawn him and started Thomas Maitland, Esq., of Dundrennan, the late Solicitor-General, on the same interest. They are now sanguine of success ; and we learn from a disinterested party that they have good cause to be so. The Conservatives are said to be finding it sad " uphill work," to make any material inroad upon the late Mr. Murray's ma jority of 400. The polling takes place on Monday and Tuesday. Seotch Reformers' Gazette. SALE OF SLAVES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THEOLOGY. —We find the following notice of a public sale, in the So vannah Republican of March 3, 1845. After describing the plantation which was to be sold, the notice adds —" Also, at the same time and place, the following negro slave, to wit, Charles, Peggy, Antonett, Davy, September, Maria, Jenny, and Isaac—levied on as the property of Henry T. Hall, to satisfy a mortgage ft. fa. issued out of Mclntosh Supreme Court, in favour of the board of directors of the Theological Seminary of the synod of South Carolina and Georgia v. said Henry T. Hall. Conditions cash.—C. O'Neal, Deputy Sheriff, M. C." HARVEST.—Cutting is not only general in this neighbourhood, but a large quantity of .wheat has been carted during the present week; whilst in distracts which ate in general behind this vicinAy in harvest, a considerable por tion of wheat and even barley have been cut. From all we can hear, in the wheat there will be a considerable falling off in the yield, as compared with that of last year, and that the better the land is the worse the produce will be; it having been greatly affected by the blight. There will be an abund ance of straw, in consequence of the superabundant moisture. The barley promises more than an average crop, and is in ge neral ready for the scythe. Oats were never better, the weather having been such as exactly suited their growth and ripening. Birds are plentiful and strong, but the fields will hardly b suf ficiently cleared by the Ist of September to allow sportsmen to commence operatioss.—Hanipshi re Advertiser. THE LATE MR. BUTLER, THE TRAGEDIAN.—It 19 with extreme regret we announce that the widow of Mr. Butler has been left in embarrassed circumstances. We believe Mr. Butler's fortune was expended in unprofitable speculations, in which the late actor embarked with the best intentions, but the most ruinous result. Mr. Harley has forwarded 10/. from the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund; Mr. Meadows a like sum from Covent-garden. Mr. Butler was indefatigable in aiding the subscription for Mr. Elton's family, and a few days before his death exerted himself in behalf of Mrs. Hood and her orphans. —Sunday Paper. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT IVESTERN RAILWAY.— On Thursday afternoon, as a train was proceeding from Glou cester to London, the engine ran off the rails, near Standish, dragging some of the carriages after it. No personal injury, however, was sustained.— Gloucestershire Chronicle. THE MOORS.—The 12th of August has set in auspiciously for the sportsman, and by this time no inconsider able execution will have taken place among the feathered tribe. The game, we understand, is plentiful, and strong on the wing. —Ayr Observer. An elephant was never introduced on the English stage till the production of Blue Beard. This is a positive fact; for Fawcett made his first appearance, I recollect, in one of its hind legs. He was so nervous at the time, that in going over one of the traps it gave way, and Fawcett and his companion leg were precipitated through it. The result was that Blue Beard and his black attendant were brought - to the ground, and the two front legs of the ele phant were seen lifted upin the air kicking away most violently, whilst the two hind legs, with Fawcett i n cr . .., „f them, were kicking no less violently under I l de stage. The curtain was obliged to be dropped b:-sore Fawcett or th e ele phant, could resume his natural footing. He afterwards at tempted to put down elephants when he was stage mana,er, but they were always too strong for him. —Punch' s Anecdotes of Actors.

His opinions were thos e a ' justice, and based on m a t ure refection. There was a s'ra"g e contrast in this gentlem a n' s a dd ress compared with that °f enother candidate (Mr. Pitcher), which had been iseued• Toe latter address, while professing to be against restrictiens..oe trade, said that care mu s t b e t a k en o f vested interests.

The absent candidate talked vaguely about Protestant principles, yet at the same time he professed himself favourable to civil and religious liberty. In reading that portion of t',l! gentleman's (Mr. Pitcher's) address, the only interpretaVon Be (the Chairman) could put upon it was, that he was an ultra- Orangeman, a supporter of the Church, and an opponent of t' s voluntary system; one who would maintain the Irish Church in all its integrity, and therefore one that would P e er s ; no dispute petuate all the abuses which had arisen from t" Church Establishment.—( Hear, hear.)
