IVELSoNS DISPATCHES AND LETTERS. Vol. I. album, London, 1544. The great success which the dispatches of the Duke of Wellingt on , as e di te d b y Colonel Gur wood, have lately met with, no doubt suggested the idea of the present publication, which refers to subjects of equal! national importance, and bids fair to obtain an equal measure of popularity. In the volume before us we have a sketch of the public career of Lord Nelson, from the year 1777 down to the year 1794—a period of unceasing toil and anxiety to the hero, when he w as fighting his way to fame, amidst a host of obstacles which w ou ld have crushed the energies of an inferior mind. But the victor of the Nile and Trafalgar, no twithstanding the cloud that too frequently over cast his prospects, in the earlier portion of his naval career, when acting under the orders of Lord Hood in the :Mediterranean, seems never to have given way to despair, b u t uniformly to have maintained a stout heart, and trusted, like Napoleon, to his star. His dispatches, dated in the year 1794, when he was en gaged in operations cuff Corsica, give abundant proofs of , his well-regulated confidence in his own powers of m ind, and his conv i c ti on th a t w h en ca ll e d on to play a adin g part, he should not be found wanting. Yet there is nothing of boastfulness in his private letters an d official communications at this period; he writes with uniform modesty and propriety ; and when he ventures upon a decided opinion in opposition to those under whose orders he is acting, he takes special care to give reasons for the faith that is in him, and argues Is point with an ingenuity that cannot fail to extort the reader's respect awl' admiration. There is on e peculiarity in Lord Nelson's dispatches, which is equally remarkable in those of the Duke of Wel lington. Th ere i s not hi ng c l ou d y or diff use a bout the m . , they deal in no circumlocutions, but come direct to the point in a concise, nervous, business-like worthy of all praise. He who runs may read them, which is not uniformly the case with the official communications of military and naval men, who are usually more ready with the sword than the pen. The Editor of the volume before us, who has exe !uted his task in a careful and diligent spirit, observes, in his preface---" Every letter of Nelson, whether Official or private, is placed according to its exact date, so that the thoughts and duties which occupied his t ad each d ay, an d even at var i ous t i mes o f th e same day, may be traced ; and these transitions are often ext remely curious. This arrangement has a great advantage over any mere classification, not only be "use the chains of thought and of events are alike ro e lanb I ' , 11 , but the dry professional details of a public !dispatch are often relieved by the more attractive con- L ents of private and familiar communications." The editor's arrangement of the " Nelson Dispatches," to l ' hie h he here m o d es tly a ll u d e s, deserves every praise for its skill, and enables us to trace the hero step by s tep through his arduous career, and gives us an in a'ght into the thoughts and feelings of which his mind was full, while steadily and perseveringly fight- M g . h is Way to fame. We quote one of his private com munications to his wife, dated from Corsica, in the /ear 1794, previously to that melancholy separation her, which was brought about through the in trigues of Lady Hamilton : " Off Bastin, February 28th, 1794.

TH E FRE.I.3 CIIURCH. (From the Monthly Statement.) Our attention has been called, of late, by com rnunications from various quarters, to a matter of no s mall importance, as regards the comfort and usefulness 'of mi n i sters in country congregations, and even in :some towns. It ought to be borne in mind that the w .e .6 Pend of th e m i nister is understood to be derived e o n u r atl separate and i n d e p en d en t sources —the Sustent2tion Fund on the one hand, and the o L ocal Sustentation Diond on the other. The Central an d is mad e up of the contributions from the vari associations accumulated in one fund, and divided ec i al alY among the ministers of the Free Church, Inder th e arrangement of the General Assembly. iFrhe payment s or dividends allowed to ealch minister, half this Cent ra l F und, are rece i ve d b y -hi m a the Iti;"Y e arly terms o f M ar ti nmas and Whitsunday. e are desirous, however, of calling the attention of the du e t a y cons' Court in each of our congregations to which is incumbent upon them, to appro rate the Local Sustentation Fund, which is derived t: . ° 4 l the Sabbath-day collections at the church doors, v e its important and legitimate object, that of sup _ethenting the minister's stipend. One case has been ntioned to us, in which a minister of a country eeloregation, amounting to 800 or 900 persons, has ra ce .duri i n ved no supplement from the Deacons' Court g the past year. The clergyman now referred " has a large family and yet the deacons, with a want of consideration which we should hope is rare, have the debt of the church. Such an alienation uf *he hurch door collections from their proper object is is distinct opposition to the Act of the General Assem bly,. on the subject, which provides that "the ordinary eis°,lections at the church doors shall be administered 1. 1 the deacons of the congregations (after deducting ell-duties, insurance, and the ordinary expenses of I.4he\pla.ce of worship, where not otherwise provided nor place in increasing the stipend of the minister," &c. I-he supplementing of the minister's stipend, then, is the very first object contemplated by the Act of Assen t bly in the disposal of the Local Fund after Paying I:ecessary expenses ; and it is the imperative duty of the Deacons' Court to fulfil that object, and it i s the duty of the Presbytery of the bounds to see that that o bj ect has been fulfilled. To pay off debt from the collections at the church doors is, in other words, to burden the minister with the payment of the debt. Nay, we have known one or two instances in which the proposal has been c3olly made, that the deficiency of the association funds should be made up ` f rom the Sabbath collections. And what is this in pt~ in language but to propose that the minister should pay into the Central Sustentation Fund a portion of bia stipend, that the want of vigour and energy on the part of the association may be concealed from the view of the Church generally. These abuses, we conceive, require only to be hinted at. They are a Plain departure from the arrangeznents of the Church, and we trust vbat Deacons' Courts on the one hand, and presbyteries on the other, will take care that, in every case, the evils be remedied promptly and effec tually. Th e b est arrangement, perhaps, would be, as the grants to the ministers from the Central Sustentation Fund are made at Whitsunday and %Martinmas, the grants from the Local Fund should ll' 3 made at Candlemas and Lammas. The whole av\luld thus be brought into regular operation, and the minister would be able to count upon a payment ac.%,`l quarter from the one fund or the other.—Ber icich -Advertiser. --- THE CONVICTS BARRER AND FLETCHER.—Ac tounts recent, i Y arrived in London state that in the ves sel which tool. out the above convicted w ill•forgers a fever has broken slut to which several of the crew have fallen a sacrifice, Csnd some of the convicts and among others Barbe, - - He has, it is said, left behint: - him some important m emoirs connected with the extra % ordinary will forgeries.

Go were we will we . are sure to find either Don Cesar de Bazan or Satan. At the Haymarket Caesar reigns supreme, while the Devil, with his seven castles, hath taken possession of the Lyceum. At the Adelphi " Divisa Imperia cum Satano Caesar habet"— the Devil and the Don have united their powers of attraction—The Mysterious Stranger appearine , in the form of a lovely woman i n the be g innin g of° the evening, while the Don announces himself as King of Spain towards the conclusion. " The Devil and the King divide the prize" of drawing crowded houses to the great profit of Mr. Webster. There is at the present moment a very pleasant comedie vaudeville by Messrs. Clarville and Damarin, which, under the title of Satan, ou Le Diable a Paris, is attracting all Paris. This drama has been very cleverly adapted to the English stage by Mr. Charles Selby, under the title of The Myste rious Stranger, and we have no doubt but that the nightly levees of the Mysterious Stranger at the Adelphi will be as numerously attended as the levees of Monsieur Satan have been at Paris. In the opening scene, we are introduced to Count Henry de Beausoleil (Mr. Hudson), who is giving his farewell bachelor party preparatory to his marriage with Ma demoiselle de Nantelle (Miss E. Harding). A stranger is announced, who sends up his card " Satan," and who enters in the person of Mademoiselle Celeste, attired as an exquisite of the first water. The Count is reminded by his visitor that some ten years pre viously he had ruined himself to save a friend from de struction, and that, utterly destitute of money, he had drawn up a paper offering to sell himself to the Devil for ten years of wealth ; that the next morning he had heard of a large legacy left him by a distant re lative, and had ever since been in the enjoy ment of wealth unbounded. " You had no relation," says the Mysterious Stranger ; " I took you at your word. Here is your bond—the date is run out, and you're mine." The Count treats his visitor as an imposter. " Well," says the Stranger, " in twenty-four hours I will deprive you of your wealth, your mistress, and your friends ; and then I shall demand the execution of my bond." He goes to a ball, where he finds his mistress flirting with an other ; while there he hears that his banker has ab sconded with the whole of his property. The Myste rious Stranger, dressed as a lady, enters, and reminds him that she had foretold it. A grand fete is given at the mansion of a Polish Princess with an unpro nounceable name. The guests are Beausoliel's mis tress-and -his former friends. They determine to cut him. He enters, followed by the Princess, who is no other than the Mysterious Stranger. She exposes their duplicity to him, and gives him letters written by his mistress to his rival. At the opening of the second act the unfortunate Count is in utter despon dency, and gives utterance to his grief in a very tollching song, which was exquisitely sung by Hudson, and deservedly encored. Mademoiselle de Nantelle enters—she explains her past conduct, and seeks again to win his affections. "Those letters were written," she says, "just a 3 she left her convent, at that period of life when the girl is becoming the woman, and w hen to say I love, is sufficient to secure her affections ; but the dreams of girlhood had long since passed away, he was the choice of her maturer years, and although she knows him poor, she has come to share her fortune with him." This scene was very beauti fully giver. by Miss E. Harding. There was an im passioned tenderness about her acting, restrained, ho;: ever, by the innate bashfulness of the retiring girl, which told admirably. Henry at once gives way and defies Satan—but too soon. Scarcely has the lady retired when the Mysterious Stranger enters and shows him a paragraph in a newspaper, announcing that his banker has been arrested. The lady enters immediately afterwards, and the Count, hid in a closet, is witness . a scene in which the Mysterious Stranger, infornung the lady that the paragraph in question is false, and that Henry is a ruined man, woos and wins her. Henry enters, the lady faints, and the stranger laughs at the success of his diabolical wiles. The last scene discovers Henry asleep on a sofa. He awakes, and the Mysterious Stranger appears to him in propria person,. She is the daughter of the friend whom he has saved from ruin. To her he owes his fortune. She has long loved him, and has adopted this strange method of opening his eyes to the heart lessness of his pretended friends. It is scarcely necessary to add that he willingly liquidates his bond, and becomes hers for life. There is a comic under plot, admirably supported by Wright and Miss Chap lin, and one scene, in which we are introduced to the back slums of Paris, in which 0. Smith, as the keeper of lapis franc, and a dealer in forged passports, acts as he alone can act. There is a chorus song introduced into this scene, which was admirably sung by a gen tleman with whose name we are unacquainted, and whom we do not recollect to have seen before, but whose talents are such that it is impossible he can long remain unknown. Celeste as the Mys - Stranger was the most fascinating Devil that has ever appeared in public ; and Hudson, as the Count, was first-rate. The mounting of the piece was perfection, and it cannot I fail to draw crowded houses. The overture, by M. Doche, is a very elegant and agreeable corn- po-sition, and will form a.most useful addition to the repertoire of stock overtures. It was admirably given by the orchestra; and we cannot but congratulate the proprietors of this theatre on the vast improvement which has taken place in the orchestral department. At the fail of the curtain Madame Celeste, Hudson, and Wright, were called for, and received with 411 the i honours. When they had retired there were loud 1 ca ; for Selby, who came forward a nd announced the ,+- ion amidst the enthusiast ic a pp lause of ' .4. piece for rept. a crowded house.

The Earl of Besborough met with a serious acci dent on Saturday last. The particulars are given in the following letter:— " Carrick-on-Suir, Oct. 27. " With feelings of the greatest regret I have to inform you that the Earl of Besborough met with an accident yesterday, which was very near being attended with the most serious consequences. His Lordship was riding out of the court-yard, in front of the house at Besborough, when his horse tripped, fell, and rolled over him. Dr. Purcell was imme- diately sent for, and on examination it was found that his Lordship had sustained a very severe contusion in the hip joint, and I regret to add, that up to this time the pain produced by the injury continues unabated. " As soon as the accident became known, the most intense anxiety was felt in this town, where his Lord ship is most justly esteemed by persons of every creed and party ; indeed, to use the words of a gentleman at the late dinner of the Iverk Farming Society, There is scarcely an individual in Carrick who does not feel himself almost under a personal obligation to his Lordship, for the cordial and persevering assistance he has always given to everything likely to advance the prosperity of their town.' " But the feelings of respect and esteem enter tained for his Lordship are not confined to this loca lity, for I am well aware that there is not a nobleman .n - Ireland more generally revered than Lord Besbo- rough ; and 1 sincerely hope, therefore, in my next communication to be able to report, for the gratifica- tion of the public in neral, a considerable improve ment in his Lordship's condition." REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The usual weekly meeting of the Association was held this day in the Conciliation Hall. The chair was taken by J. 1.. Arabin, Esq., Lord Mayor elect. Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL handed in 41. from Preston, England, and then brought under the con sideration of the Association the conduct of certain repeal wardens in London, who had entered a meet ing held in that City in a state of intoxication, and when requested by their fellow-wardens to retire, behaved in a most unbecoming manner. It would be, he said, inconsistent with the rules of the Association to allow such a gross breach of discipline to pass un noticed. He, therefore, felt it his duty to move that the names of the wardens in question be struck off the books of the Association. Mr. CLEMENTS seconded the motion, and stated hat the Committee, after a patient and searching in- vestigation into the facts of the ease, came to the unanimous conclusion that the individuals referred to merited expulsion from the Society. Captain BRODERICK, after handing in several re mittances, announced that the returns from the regis tries had been most satisfactory ; and he considered that if the people followed up the blow which had been so happily struck, they would be in a position at the next general election to return such a number of repeal Members as would give a preponderating in fluence to their party in the House of Commons. He considered any man' that neglected to register as an enemy to his country. Catholic Emancipation was the result of the Clare election, and that fact ought to prove to the people the necessity for exertion. If' they were able to return a band of determined men to Parliament, it would most unquestionably give an irresistible impulse to their cause. The Hon. Mr. HUTCHINSON handed in 151. from Liscarroll, county Cork, and read a communication which accompanied the remittance. The letter called on the aristocracy " to take the places of honour in the patriotic agitation which was being carried on for the restoration of the nationality of their native country ; if they did so they would receive the warm hearted blessings of the people at large, and entitle themselves to the everlasting gratitude of a generous nation." He (Mr. II.) would re-echo the sentiments contained in the letter he had just read to the meeting. He would ask the aristocracy, were they English or Irish—were they fish or flesh ? Now was the time for them to be up and stirring.—(Hear, hear.) He would call emphatically on them to consideri seriously the actual condition of the country, and what might result from its continuance in that state. England, he was aware, was smiling at the puny efforts of these gentlemen to shake off their foolish prejudices. Such he knew were the private sentiments of every English man, but he knew they dared not give utterance to them in public. What did the objection of the aris tocracy to join them amount to? Why, this, "We hold your opinions, but yet we cannot follow them." He regretted that the state of his health would oblige him to winter in France, and he could assure the meeting that it was to him a source of bitter morti fication to leave the country at this peculiar juncture. Although, however, he would not be present propria persona, he would be in spirit, and he trusted that every letter he read from Ireland would give him assurance of the perseverance and untiring exertions of the Irish people in their present glorious career. — (Loud cheers.) Under the leadership of Mr. O'Con nell they had nothing to fear. Having every confi dence in his wisdom and discretion, he would caution his countrymen against being led away by any side winded doctrines which might be propounded to them. He would be wanting in courtesy if he departed with out tendering to the Association his unfeigned grati s tude for the kindness they had shown him since his accession to their ranks. _ _ _ The Hon. Gentleman on resuming his seat was most enthusiastically cheered. • Mr. M. O'CoNNELL was sure every Irishman would sympathise with him on the reason that de prived them of the services of Mr. Hutchinson. Ills generous and disinterested zeal was beyond all praise, and any commendations from him would only detract from his real merit. His career, it was true, was short, but it had been brilliant, and was such as would entitle him to the lasting gratitude of his country men. They would fondly anticipate his return in renewed health to witness the triumph of that cause of which he was so distinguished a supporter.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) In conclusion he moved that the most marked thanks of the Association be tendered to the Hon. G. H. Hutchinson, for his exertions in the cause of the country. Capt. BRODERICK seconded the motion, which passed with acclamation. The llon. Mr. HUTCHINSON returned thanks for the distinguished compliment which had been paid him, and assured the meeting that his body and mind were at the disposition of his country.—(Cheers.) He felt that, in acting as he had, he was merely ful filling the dictates of his conscience, as he sincerely believed that their cause was a religious and a chari table one.—(Hear, hear.) It was not from any vain notion of courting popularity that he had acted as he had, but solely for the purpose of serving his country, and whenever they required his services he was ready to respond to her call.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. M. O'CONNELL rose to bring under the notice of the Association a communication he had received from the Rer. D. Hearne, of Manchester, directing attention to the spread of Ribbonism in that town. The letter contained the following passage :—" I do not know what to do with the repeal-room in Sal ford ; it is giving me more trouble than all the other wards. The anecdote told in the Association by Mr. W. J. O'Connell a few meetings back, of a Ribbon man being ducked in a pool of water in this town, has no foundation in fact ; he must have dreamed it. The other statement, that in consequence there was not a Ribbonman in Manchester,' is equally in correct. I fear there are many, and among the re pealers, too. Indeed, I hare heard the name of one who was about to go as a deputy to a meeting of delegates (Ribbonmen), to .be held in the neigh bourhood of Belfast. I have been battling with that society for the last nineteen years in this lo cality. I know no worse enemies of Ireland than the Ribbonmen. They are, I am told, very strong in Liverpool, under the name ' Hibernian Societies,' 'Friendly Brothers,' &c. The Association would be doing no little good by sending over a commission to Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, and the neighbour ing towns, to inquire into the existence and nature of such societies. I believe the Ribbon infatuation in Ireland to be principally kept up by sui,plies from this country. I would lend all my assistance to such a commission." Whilst on this subject, he (Mr. O'Connell) would call the attention of the citizens of Dublin to the fact that there were at this moment emissaries going about seeking to entrap them into becoming members of this nefarious system. He held in his hand a satisfactory proof of the characters of the demons to which he had alluded, and the class to which they belonged. An individual, who repre sented himself as William Doyle, had been in the custom of frequenting a certain public-house, and there infusing his pernicious doctrines into the minds of those who were so unfortunate as to meet with him. One evening last week this wretch, forgetting himself, he supposed, luckily enough for the people, got drunk, and when leaving the house he dropped that document. The Honour able Gentleman here exhibited to the meeting n document, which appeared to be a certificate of the admission of the individual in question as an Orange man, and bore date July 13, 1844 . It was decorated with orange and blue ribbons, and bore the signatures of the grand master and deputy grand master th of at th h e e lodge. It appeared that the person's name was Philips, and not Doyle, as he stated ; and came from the north of Ireland. The production of the document created the greatest sensation . s a e t n son considerable l\ir O'Connell then proceeded to dwell length on the folly of joinionisd n ecessarily such inflict on ell societies, a n d th e great evilswhich ß t e ll Yw a the cowltu. concludedpowerfAl address, amidkt lotAd cheers. • l ut i:l ie e rn7n,N l v ii ho g T t a s nd su e b d in contributions ; seq uently and addressed byseavt the several p termination of the proceedings Mr. M.

We are glad to find that the Pennsylvanians are not altogether lost to a sense of ionour: -- " The Government of Pennsylvania has sought, by various means, and some of them at great sacrifices, to cherish these great interests of Pennsylvania. To assist in the development of her resources, the Go vernment of Pennsylvania has contracted a great debt for the purposes of railroads and canals, and other public works, to the end that she may bring for ward and bring out into operation those means of wealth which at present lie hidden, and offer so much of useful occupation to men. Now, gentlemen, it cannot be doubted that the Government of Pennsyl vania, as a government, must desire the development of these resources to the general improvement of all its population, and to the end that it may better con duct its operations in finance, and pay that debt which rests upon it. Allow me here to say that Pennsyl vania needs no assumption by the United States to pay her debts. She has contracted them herself. She is able to pay them herself. She desires, lam sure, no assumption of any debt of hers by the general government out of the sphere of its consti tutional duty. But then, there is one thing that neither the Government of Pennsylvania can do nor the people of Pennsylvania can do. The Go vernment can make roads ; it may construct canals; it may establish works of internal communica tion. The people may open the mines and work in them, and bring their products to the surface. But, then, for all these interests there is one thing to be done that the Government and people of Pennsylvania, separate or together, cannot do, and that is to protect these interests by just and, - well-considered custom house regulations. Pennsylvania does not possess that power, and the whole world knows that they and other similar works of domestic industry—the great interests of human society—cannot be arranged, and controlled, and regulated successfully but by the operations of custom-house duties. Pennsylvania has parted with that great regulating power. She gave that up on the establishment of the constitution. She gave up the power of laying duties on im ports into Pennsylvania, and she gave it up with a clear understanding, which the whole history of those times proves—she gave it up with a clear understand ing that the power with which she thus parted and consented to place in the hands of the general Go vernment should be so exercised as by discrimination to protect American Pennsylvania labour.—(Cheers.) And the general Government, I undertake to say, violates its obligation to every other State when it has taken this power out of their hands, so that they can no longer use it, and yet will not use it itself. That is the very pinch—that is the very exigence—the demand of duty which is made on the Government of the United States. Massachusetts and Pennsylvania cannot protect their own labour by dusties at the custom house—they cannot lay those duties—they have parted with that power to the general Government, and they have parted with it under the plainest un derstanding and expectation on both sides, that the power would be so exercised as to favour home pro ductions. Now, gentlemen, we may do what we please about domestic industry—Whigs may do what they please—and individuals may do what they please—but unless it be protected by the general Government, by a wise, steady, and stable system of legislation, there will be no security—no permanent prosperity amongst you. I have said that this debt was incurred by the State of Pennsylvania, todo its part towards the deve lopment of its own resources. I suppose everybody expects—l am sure that I expect that this debt shall be paid, not by the national Government, but by Penn sylvania herself.—(Partial cheering.) Why I should despair of the great cause of self-government—cease to be a defender of the practicability of high and elevated popular communities and popular government, if Penn sylvania should sneak away from a payment of her debt.—(Cheers, and cries of " No—never—never !") There may be, I suppose, between here and the Ohio river half a dozen repudiators.—(A voice "None.") There are spots, and black spots on the sun. But the general effulgence of that golden orb hides and covers all that darkens and blackens.—(Loud cheers.) And there may be a man in Pennsylvania whose poli tics and whose morals lead him to think that a debt honestly contracted had better not be paid. But who could hear such a voice amid the thousand shouts in favour of honest and just policy, that would fill the air from one extremity of the State to the other ?" SUICIDE OF A LITERARY CHA- RACTER. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, MONDAY NIGHT• A melancholy suicide has just been discovered in this town. Mr. William Gill Thompson, a name well known as a poet, and the author of some excel lent pieces in our periodical magazines, has just been found in the water-closet of the Literary and Philo sophical Society, in our town, with his throat cut in several places, and evidently had been dead for some hours. Mr. Thompson was reporter for the Newcastle Chronicle, and had held the situation for 20 years or more, and on the occasion of Mr. Hutt being entertained at Gateshead the week before last, he was required to attend and report the proceedings. He attended, but after the dinner was over he repaired to a public-house and enjoyed himself, so that he was incapable next morning of copying his notes. That day and the following passed over without his pre paring copy, and as the paper is published on the Friday morning, the proprietors were under the ne cessity of procuring a report of the proceedings else where. Thompson was accordingly discharged. He subsequently applied to be reinstated, promising amendment, but his application was refused; and on the Monday following he left the office of his former employers, the Messrs. Hodgson, of this town, went to a public-house, known by the name of Hill's Kitchen, where he drank some beer; from thence he proceeded to the Literary and Philosophical Society, and, having taken out a book, went home with it ; returned again to the Society, and obtained the key of the water-closet from the librarian. Ile re paired thither, and with his pen-knife inflicted several deep wounds on his throat, which caused his death. Ile lay from Monday night, last week, till to-night, H hen he was discovered through his daughter hav ing returued the book, and the librarian asked her for the key of the water-closet, saying her father had taken it away a week before. The child replied her father had been missing for a week, and then the suspicions of the librarian were excited, and search made, when the body of the deceased was found in the water closet, dreadfully cut about the throat, and the blood flowing in all directions. A jury was immediately summoned, and after viewing the body the inquest was adjourned till the following day. MONUMENT TO THE LATE ADMIRAL SIR T. M. HARDY, GOVERNOR or GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—Monday Oct. 21, being the anniversary of the battle of Trafalgar, was appropriately selected as the day for the commence ment of this national and county testimonial. Long before the hour fixed (one o'clock) numbers were seen wending their way to the summit of Blagdon-hill, the site determined on. All being ready the first stone was laid in due form by the esteemed lady of the high Sheriff, John Floyer, Esq., .Amidst the cheers of the numerous assemblage, among whom we noticed the high Sheriff, the Mayor of Dorchester, Lieut. Criswick, R.N. ' Arthur H. Dyke Acland, Esq., Robert Williams, jun., Esq., John Hardy Thresher, Esq., T. Balston, Esq., the Rev. Lundy Foot, the Rev. F. J. C. Trenow, Messrs. Hawkins, Symes, Samson, Dunning, J. Wood, Hodges, &c. There was also a goodly array of ladies present, which added much to the animation of the scene. An elegant cold collation, with choice wines and strong beer in profusion, was provided in a spacious marquee erected on the hill, of which the company were liberally invited to partake. The arrangements of the Committee „.,..ave general satisfaction; good cheer was also supplied in abundance to the poor. Mr. Henry Goddard, of Brid port, is the contractor for the erection of the monument, which, from its elevated position, will be seen at a great distance both by sea and land.—SherLorne Journal. 7,579 EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF STRANQULATION. — On Monday last a fine child of ten months old, named Ca therine Ford, came by her death under the following circumstances :—The deceased was the child of a rope maker, residing at No. 5, Globe -court, Ratcliffe-high way, and it appears that her father went to his work on Monday morning as usual. The mother also went out at six o'clock to carry about milk for a person in the Minories, as she was accustomed to do ; but before going, she took the precaution of placing two chairs with their backs to the bed, so as to prevent the child, who was asleep at the time, from falling out. The child must have rolled from the place it was lying to the edge of the bed, and got its head through the small rails of the chair. The body then must have fallen from the bed, for the child was afterwards found by a young girl named Fitzgerald, hanging in the way above described, and quite dead. Information of the circumstance has since been forwarded to Mr. Baker, the Coroner, by Mr. Overton, the beadle of St. George's-in-the-. East, and au inquest is appointed. GUANO.—In the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette of the 23d inst., under the head of Produce Markets," in that paragraph which touches upon guano, allusion is made to the probability of a substitute being shortly found near home ; may not this have refqeacp to tliose immense beds of coprol4hcs said to exist in thc. neigh. hourtood of 33411, Clifton ? afid - other places, pointed out bytiebig in igs " Letters on Cbenqlstyy,” see page 180,. and might not these antediluvian remains be , obtained in a similar way as coal ?—Correspondent. 5,095 4,354 9,122 6,087 6,063 7,150 6,430 1,679 6,970 175 v: i T /4' PA L ,. \•q4r);''' RUSSIANS AND CIRCA, TABRIZ, SEPT. 22.—Letters from Tiflis of the 12(11 "AA of September, written by Armenian merchants esta blished in Georgia, and communicated to Mr. lion ham, British Consul-General at Tabriz, announce that the campaign of the Russians against the moun taineers of Daghestan is terminated for this year. The Commander in Chief, M. Neidhar has re turned to Tiflis, to enjoy some repose after the extreme fatigue of his last expedition. The follow ing, in a few words, is the result of the summer cam • paign of 1844:—The Russian reinforcement which arrived during the last winter in the Caucasus from Southern Russia amounted to 30,000 men, commanded by General Luders. Another Russian division, consisting of 20,000 men, was dispatched from the Trans-Caucasian provinces to attack the left flank of the insurgents on the rivers Sindaii and Koisu. Before these troops had arrived at their destination, Schamyl quitted the district of Atnden in the mountains of Daghestan, his usual place of re fuge, and with 20,000 men attacked the fortress of Chunsak. The Russian garrison of this fortress being in want of provisions made several sorties, and on the third attempt to procure supplies, the mountaineers entered the fortress pell-mell with the Russians, and Chunsale was captured. The strong fortress of Temir-Chantchusa met the same fate. The enfeebled by •• disease and hunger, garrison, being and not being able to resist the assault of the Circasians, surrendered at discretion to Scha myl. The latter removed the cannon and military stores which he found in those fortresses, destroyed the fortifications, and retired into the mountains. his lieutenants, lladji-Murat and fladji• attacked with a strong body of Lesghians the towns of Tarki and of Dechent, on the -borders of the Caspian Sea. Tarki was captured, plundered, and burnt. Dechent resisted. A few days after these events occurred in Daghestan numerous Russian reinforcements arrived, commanded by Generals Gurko and Freitag. They were followed by 30,000 men under the orders of General Neidhart, Commander-in-Chief. The Russians entered the mountains of the province of Tschets chaia, where Schamyl had withdrawn with all the plunder he had procured at Chunsak and Temir- Chantchusa. Some sanguinary battles were fought with serious loss to both parties. Several of the mountain villages were burnt, and much cultivated land laid waste by the Russians, but they obtained no material advantage during the campaign. Schamyl still remains master of the mountains, where he had concentrated his partisans. Whilst these battles were being fought in the Tschets chaia, a Lesghian chief, named the Sultan Daniel, entered Kachetia and captured the to% n of Cheki, which is the principal market of the country for silks and wines. The town was pillaged, and about 100 Russian soldiers massacred. The Lesghians advanced to within twenty-two leagues of Tiflis. The population of the capital of Georgia being destitute of troops, trembled at the approach of their terrible enemy. Tiflis was saved by General Schwartz, who, with 5,000 infantry, repulsed the Lesghians ; but the loss of the Russians amounted to 1,000 men. The Russians themselves confess that their campaign of this year has completely failed. The failure is attributed to the discord which prevailed between Generals Luders, Gurko, and Schwartz. It appears beyond doubt that a change of generals will take place in the Caucasus during the next winter. The plan of making a winter campaign is entirely abandoned. DEATH OF SIR THOMAS KIRKPATRICK, SHERIFF OF DUMFRIESSHIRE.—Sir Thomas Kirkpatrick, Bart., of Closvburn, died at his residence of Capenoch, on Monday evening last, after a few hours' illness.: Sir Thomas was sheriff of the county of Dumfries for - thirty three years.

Tuesday, the sth proximo, is the day which has been named for the departure of the Court from Windsor ; but we believe the precise period 'gas not yet been determined upon by the Queen. It is understood that the Court will be absent from the Castle about four or five days. MT Majesty, upon her arrival within a few miles of the domains of the Mar quis, will be met by the-numerous tenantry of the noble ,pwner on horseback, bearing white wand, and escorted to the princely seat of the house of Cecil, where a suc cession of distinguished visitors will have the honour of meeting her Majesty and her Royal Consort. The :. , ,ame on the estate, which has been strictly preserved in tuticipation of the visit of his Royal Highness, is ex tremely plentiful throughout the extensive domains of the Marquis.

EASTBOURNE.—On Friday evening at a public meeting of the inhabitants of Eastbourne, it was decided that a meChanics' institution should be established in this place ; and it was announced that sixty-two persons had enrolled their names as members of such institu tion, and that the principal gentry were willing to come forward and support it. Though Eastbourne has for a long time occupied a low place in the scale of society, it is hoped that this is a stepping stone for its elevation to a higher and more congenial position ; and that is only , a foretaste of good things for the inhabitants of this *de lightful watering place.—Brighton Guardian. DEATH OF A MISER.-011 Saturday week k very old inhabitant of this town (Mr. Thomas Rtt.T.ton) died worth some 10,0001. He had lived alone for many years, denying himself every comfort, and preparing what food he did indulge in himself. His property, under a will I made six years ago, goes to his sister's children, but they are not to be found. Information of his death has, however, been sent to Ireland, in w'oich country the old man was born.—Brighton paper. EXTRAORDINARY MODE OF SUICIDE FROM DISEASE AND DESTITUTION.—Yesterday Mr. Baker, jun., held an inquest at the Three Compasses, Brick-lane, Spital fields, on the body of George Dixon, aged thirty-six, late potman at a house in Broad-street, City. Frederick Grover, of 5, Old Montague-street, Whitechapel, said deceased and his wife resided is the same house, and were in very destitute circumstances, owing to his having disease of the lungs, which prevented him from working. On Thursday afternoon deceased came into witness's room in a wild state, and drank with avidity four cups of tea, and whilst witness was getting him some more, he seized a long knife from off the table, and thrust it down his throat and gullet, so far that only part of the handle protruded from the mouth. Witness immediately struck deceased's hand from the haft of the knife, and pulled it from his throat, upon which deceased exclaimed, " I am determined to do it, and may as well do it first as last." Mr. Foster, the parish surgeon, was called in, but, despite his efforts, deceased died in three -hoursaf- terwards. Mr. Foster spoke to deceased's great destitu tion, and said that he died from the combined effects of the wound in the throat, causing internal hemorrhage, and inflammation of the lungs. Verdict—" Temporary insanity." NCEN DIARISM IN BED/ORDSUIRE.-011 Sunday night, in the neighbourhood of Crowfleld, flames were discovered in a barn on the farm of Mr. John Hall, Wharley-end. The building was detached from the stack-yard, or the entire homestead must have been con sumed, as there was a smart wind, and no water could be had. A large body of the labourers were present, but they could render no service, the flames having com• pletely encircled the building, which, together with its contents, the produce of eleven acres of wheat, beside a quantity of beans, was destroyed. From the isolated position of the barn, and the fire having broken out full 24 hours after any person having entered it, it appears tO have been the act of an incendiary, though at present, 00 suspicion is attached to any person in particular. The owner of the property, in common with the mr..jority of the principal farmers in the parish, pays the average rate of wages, Bs. a week, and in many instances the practice of yearly hiring obtains, but since the close of L the harvest a large number of supernumerary hands ; have been discharged, and these men are wandering about-the district without visible means of subsistence.. Poaching and petty robbery are becoming very prevalent in this district. AN OLD Bum—There i 3 inithe possession of one of our old Dutch families of this city, a partot known to be 82 years old.
