LIFE GUARDS.—We have this day extracted with pleasure the observations from The Birming ham and Lichfield Chronicle (see front page) on the Subscription in favour of this ill-treated Corps of our gallant Military Defenders. Per haps since the Institution of an Army, no men ever conducted themselves with more exemplary patience and forbearance under so many provok ing insults and such ferocious violence. It is not a little creditable to the Committee who came forward in London to give the public an oppor tunity of evincing their approbation of the con duct of the LIFE GUARDS on the occasion allud ed to, that the Subscription should have origi nated in the City, as it strews that our mercantile character is blended with a nice sense of honour,l as well as animated by the laudable impulse of humanity. The Provincial Journal has treated tW - subject with judgment, feeling, and spirit, and has exposed in their true colours the mean and despicable attempts of the seditious Presses in the Metropolis to degrade the soldiers and to ridicule the Subscription, a measure which does so much honour to those by . whom it was insti tuted, and those by whom it is patronised and supported. WINCHESTER, SEPT. 13,----The natives and citizens of this ancient city held their annual Feast for the apprenticing out tha sons of natives or natives born, being the hundred and fifty second since its establishment; the Stewards were the Earl TEMPLE, JAS. RALFE Esq. the Rev. H. J. HopKiNs, and N. ATCHESON Esq. At ten o'clock the Stewards and, Trustees met at the George Inn and proceeded to hear Divine Service at the Cathedral, preceded by a band of music and several of the boys who had been apprenticed by the Society ; the prayers were read by the Rev-. Dr. NEWBOLT, after which a most excellent and appropriate discourse was deliVered by the Rev. W. IlAnalsoN, Vicar of Fareham, and Prebendary of Winchester, from the 11 v. of the 12 c. of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans," Not slothful in business ; fervent in spirit ; serving the Lord." The Rev. Divine most strongly en forced the two-fold duties of serving Q -OD, and doing to others as you would be done -unto. As this charity was first established to give elms to the aged, two of its old Stewards are allowed a weekly stipend. At half past four a most re spectable company sat down to an excellent din ner provided by Mrs. AsucomuE of the George Inn ; N. ATCHESON Esq. - took the chair ; after dinner many Constitutional toasts. were given, and several most excellent songs were sung ; the evening having -passed off With great conviviality and spirit, all departed highly-- gratified. The collections at the Church, the Room,. and the' Annual Donations amounted to nearly 1701.; the new Stewards are PHILIP WILLIAMS, Esq. Re corder of 'Winchester, and JOHN DLINN, Esq. of Alresford. We are informed by a Correspondent that the name of ALI PAcnA'S son is MONETAR PAULA. not MoNDAtt. He adds that the treasures of VELI PACHA, the other son, were brought from Joannina to Malta in April last, in.H.M.S. Scout, and lodged for security in the Treasury, There was a slight inaccuracy in the statement which appeared in yesterday's Herald, relative to Sir ROBERT BAKER and the Magisterial arrange ments consequent upon his resignation. Ills MAJE3TY, it appears, never expressed any opi nion upon the subject ; and the new arrange ment was no more than an official act of the Home Department, with the usual sanction and re sponsibility of the Executive Administration. Sir ROBERT BAKER, although he has thought it right to resign at the present moment, is, we believe, truly and justly respected by all the. Members of the Administration, and by every other person who has the pleasure of knowing him, as an excellent and worthy man, and a strictly conscientious Magistrate.--(Morring Herald.) Baron de CAZES intends leaving town on Mon day next for Paris. The. New Frederick, Captain It 1..-Nnts., sailed From the River yesterday morning, for :Pithead, to take on- board for Cadiz, Signora PEZULLA, wife of the late Viceroy of Peru. Yesterday. morning his Serene Highness the reignin`g Duke of SAxE MEINING, accompanied by Baron BAU:MBACK; Baron FIAcKE, and Lieu tenant EDWARD HALL, R. N. left : Town for France. BRIGHTON, SEPT. 13.—Nothing has recently occurred at the Pavilion ; it is said that the KING will be there towards the end of the week ensuing, but the rumour rests upon no foundation to be relied on. Sir MATTHEW and Lady TIER NEY were expected, but are not yet arrived. • A smart contest took place last Saturday, at Ipswich, for the office of High Steward of that Borough,iu the room of the late Earl of DYSART, when Sir It. HARLAND was elected. The -num bers were, for that gentleman, 401 ; and, for the Duke of WELLINGTON, 326. A. Moony., Esq. Recorder of Rochester, has sent in his resignation of that office, for which we understand Mr. MAnsnAm, nephew to the Right Hon. the Earl of RomNEY, and Mr. RY LAND, of London, are candidates. By a letter received in town yesterday, it ap pears that the KING has been most graciously pleased to order an additional month's pay to each of the crew of the Lightning, steam packet ; which had the honour of conveying his MAJESTY to Ireland, and likewise the sum of 201.10 Mr. JOHNSON, the engineer. MIi]ItdANTILE SMITING, Sit: DEAL, SEPT. 14.=-IVind N.W.—Arrived and sailed for the River the Missionary, Lemont, from St. Domingo ; Eliza beth, Reid, 44 days from Tobago ; and Cane Grove, Thomp. son, from St. Vincent's.

Sailed the British Army, Stevens ; and Rosslyn Castle, Hepburn, for New Brunswick ; Royal Charlotte, Ford, for Halifax ; Ondernum ing, Hakker, for Liverpool; and his Majesty's ship Glasgow, for Cowes and Ceylon. FAL:Niouyii, SEPT. 13.—Wind W.—Arrived the Ageno ria, Harris, from Portsmouth ; and Arina, Gray, from Wey mouth, both for Waterford. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 13:—Arrived the Cmsar, Fisher, from Jamaica ; sailed the Nth of July ; on the 23d, was boarded off the liogsties by the Buenos Ayres armed brig Mars, out four months, and had taken 15 prizes. THE HARVESf. . PLYMOUTH, S.r.PT..l2.—The latter harvest has been very unfavourable--a great deal of Corn Las received injury, and as the weather is still unsettled, I far that the.. unsaved Corn. will sustain still greater darnagd. 7i rb cropt ofp6tatatis and turnips are extremely fine. Apples very few. The plan of sash mows (very small - mows set up in the fields), which prevails in the, West of Cornwall, is one of thehc-st for a catching season like this, and was, no doubt, suggested by the peculiar uycertainty of the weather in that extremity of the island. ' DEVIZES, SE r•r. 13.—Our market was well supplied to-day, and further, advances, to a considerable extent, took iJlace on every description of grain —but more particularly on wheats.— Thin new wheat that was oTered,' just before the wet weather set in, at 215. per sack and refused, found buyers to-day at 3ss.; and some good old wheat that would not at that time feteh 31s. was disposed of thus morning at Cis. _ CAMBRIDGE, SEPI'.I4.-7he Assize of Bread for thls town was on Wednesday raised three.three. half-pence in the quartern loaf wheaten, the price of which is now lid. Nothing can exceed the deplorable accounts which are re ceived from all parts of the country relative to the harvest.— Whole fields of wheat in the low lands of the 'Western Counties are completely inundated. ln other parts papple ea ve rly t a ki ng advantage of thc first dryday, haveeartedand stack atireir wheat in Miserably poor Order, as • the sheaVes, being literally wet through, had not time to dry. In our own immediate neigh . . bOurhood, some few breadths of wheat, during the fine weather towards the latter part of August, though not entirelyfree from mildew, were carried and housed in pretty good order; but the quantity. is not to be compared. to that which is still unhouscd. The repeated rains for the last fortnight, sometimes falling in torrents, have suspended all harvest work, and if she present weather continues much longer the injury will be incalculable. It is likely that the markets will continue to rise for some and as lik - ely that the ports will be open within six months, by which the •farmers will be prevented from receiving any advan tage in price, corresponding with . their short crops, and bad quality ;_nay, the sprouted and lain grain being also dainp, will not be saleable. In former times farmers could bear the ill luck of an 'unpiopitious season, but now that so many years of loss have successively distressed them, .such an event as that pend ing will be the final overthrow of numbers.—(Devia?s-Paper.) FATAL EFFECTS OF LOVE. (EXTRACT-FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.)-_A lovely in. teresting girl, about 18 years of ageaand residing with her pa rents in the neighbourhood of Vallenciennes, had formed an at tachment with a young Officer in the French firiny ; on the affair being made known to her friends, they disapprov ed of the connexion, and the young Lady received 'the ihost strict injunction never td see her lover again. All .power ful Ileac, in this as in many other instanccs„ tritriiphad over parental authority, and in spite of locks, hers, and a )40con stant attendant, they , contrived lay the. a hitviation of the hotWasually.devoteit to repose, nameta in , tastla and enjoy , that society which they deemed e s s en ti a l „a o their existence; these nocturnal - meetings had continued ti a long period un disturbed, when some immoral traits in tte. character. of the young Officer having been discovered by the Lady, she with a prudence not to be expected from her previous conduct, dis patched a letter to him requesting a discontinuance of his visits in future, and also of all intercourse between them ; on the re ceipt of the letter it is reported that he became almost frantic, and in bis frenzy so seriously injured the messenger who brought it, thatlife was /Or some time-despaired of. For several days after he observed a sullen gloominess, during which time it seems that he formed and cherished one of the moot diabolical designs that ever entered the imagination of man, and which' he sought to perpetrate in the following manner :—Armed with a short dagger, he surmounted innumerable obstacles, and finally sue ceedei in secreting. himself in a small anti-chamber which communicated with the bed-room of his intended victim ; fleeing waited a considerable time, and • supposing her asleep, he advanced to the door and opened it with great caution,- but immediately sunk back on observing. her kneeling at her accustomed devotions. His inward sense of rectitude struck forcibly to his heart, a convulsive tremor seized him, and he leaned for support.against the wainscot; at this instant he would have abandoned his design and lied, but there was no passage but through the room in which she lay. Meanwhile the " pangs of despised love" revived, and with a desperate effort he again opined the door ; the most profound silence reigned within the room, which a lamp. placed on a table near the bed feebly enlightened ; . unsheathing the dagger he slipped into the room, and with 4 trembling band drew aside the- cur tains; the object of . his affection lay slumb er i ng b e f ore hi m ; t h e ' smile of innocence and, peace played upon her countenance; he leaned over the bed, and deliberately pointing the dagger to her bosom, he averted his head, and leaning down - his arm, it glided to her heart ; a faint scream escaped her lips, and in one motnent her soul ceased to inhabit its earthly tenement:— The wretch stood transfixed with horror at the enormity of the deed he had committed, and a momentary insensibility en sued. On reviving, his soul sickened with horror at the sight of the blood oozing from the wound -through the bed clothes, and seizing the dagger which had fallen from his hand on the bed, he plunged it in his own b osom , an d f e ll to the ground.— llii groans brought some of the servants to the room, but they immediately fled back again, on beholding the dreadful spec tacle,' and it was not until utter a considerable lapse of time that assistance was procured. The abrupt relation of the heart rending event to the parents has had such an effect that their 1 lives are even now considered in imminent danger.—Thel wretched man lingered for three days in dreadful agony, during I which time he gave the above relation, and then died a victim of his ungovernable passion. fesstrtlt The planets JUPITER and SATURN tsrat9 co be beautiful and interesting objects every clear evening l r . ising nearly approxi mate and simultanecusly in the East. ith teleScope of mo derate-power Jupiter's Satellites, .or Moons, are distinctly•per ceptible, as is also Saturn's Ring.

BURGLARY AND CtuELTY.,—Between one and two yes terda:y 'morning, an aged couple named Crosse, residing in the Grangeoioad, near Star-corner, Bermondsey, • were awakened by a strange rumbling noise, and in a moment or two.after, the door opened, and two men walked cautiously into the room, unfolding the slide of a dark lantern as they proceeded. C., on observing them, uttered a loud shviek, on ,which the man w:Lo held the lantern rushed up to the bedside, and with a pisttil in one hand, swore to•murder her if she made coy noise; this threat, however, w as f's.r from intimidating her, and she began to scream loudly, on which the robber struck her a blow on the mouth with his fist, whieh drew blood. Ile then took a shawl 'off the line, tore it in strips, and with them bound the old - woman's legs and arms to the bed posts, and gagged her mouth to prevent utterance. Iris companion was all tile time rum maging the drawers; but failing in finding any grelitbooty, the armed man went tip to • Mr. Crosse, and demand e d t o know 'where the rest of his property was, observing with many oaths, that unless he told them, they would leave him murdered. la vain the poor trembling old man protested his poverty ; • they only answered him with blows and renewed threats. At le t p.,,th the villains left the house, carrying with them a small bundle,, containing some exthei and linen, an old-silver watch, and two' silver spoons. 1 3 0TIt t EPITAPH In Ail Saints' Church-yard, Newcastic-upon-Tyne.

In the time o f that - celebrate:J. Spaniard, all the properties of a writer of plays or Manager of a Theatre were contained in .a bag, and conslsted. of four shepherd's. wldte robes or Prose s, bordered with gilt leather, four bear& and false heads of hair, and four crooks mo r e or less. Plays were no thing more than . conversations, similar to eclogues, between two or three shepherds and a shepherdess ; they were diver sified and lengthened by two or three interludes, the 'characters in which were a regress, some interrueddlera, some stupid clowns, and some Biscavaps. The same Lope used to perform these four diff = erent char . acters with all the . excellence and dis crimination imaginable. • At this period there were no side scenes, no battles between Christians a nd Mo ors on . f oot an d horseback, no fintorea issuing, or apnearinie to issue, out of th eCentre 'of the eat-4i ; and the stage it s elf consi s ted of four or six plinks, placed on four benches laid across, and forming a plat- form raised about four palms above the ground. Angels were never seen descending from the skies, nor spirits m: anted aloft ptr cloutfa: all.aite ornament of ahe stage wh9il . old 'blanket, • tied up' by ropes, faatened fe4rn one side to the 'other, anal-divid ing the dressing-rooms Elam the stage. The . musicians were placed behind the curtain, and u sua lly sung sonie old romance, unaccompanied by the guitar. Naharro, a native of Toledo, succeeded Lope de.liueda ; he gained great reputation, especial ly in the part of a cowardly intermeddler. Naharro added a little to the stage decorations, and exchanged the clothe s b ag for cheamand trunks. - He' arouglin the musicians before the curtain, and took away the beards from the buffoons ; for up to this time nobody appeared on the stage without is beard.— He invented side scenes, clouds, thunder, lightning, duels, and battles. But in no particular were - theatrical exhibi tions carried to the perfection produced by Cervantes. Ile was the, first who embodied the phantoms of imagination, and the bidden thoughts of the soul, by 'introducing on The stage, with the -general applause ..of the spectators, the •at tributes of morality. He wrote from twenty to thirty plays, which all passed representation without the performers re ceiving volleys of, cucumbers, or oranges, or any of those missiles - with which the audience were wont to express their disapprobation. After Cervantes, that prodigy of mature Lo per de Vega appeared, with whom most of our readers are al ready acquainted. MARGATE, SEPT. 14.—We are all life and gaiety, and the attractions app'ear to increase daily. On Nionday there waS a :Masquerade at the - Rooms, which was well attended.

In addition to an excellent pro vincial company, we have Mrs. West and Mrs. Glover : Emery, Knight, Blanehard, and Mrs. Davison are expected. such talent success is certain ; indeed, an overflowing house for the .Manineer's benefit is proof positive. .

Her agitation and anxiety was so great that her senses had literally failed her ; th , r - petition, however, reached his i3IAJEsIy, and her sow's life has iu consequence been saved. NEW EXPEDITION TO AVRIdA. His MAJESTY, who ever holds in Consideration) and takes every opportunity of promoting the in, terests of science and of art, expressed his desire ) a short. time since„that an expedition sbould 'be formed to explore certain parts of Africa, which border upon Egypt. The idea was suggested in consequence of the successful researches of M. BELZONI in the, latter country; but the object of the present expedition is of. a different character from the pursuits of that Gentleman, inasmuch as it is the discovery, not of the ponderous inn numents.of Egyptian labour, but of the remains of Greek and Roman edifices, which it is con jectured are scattered in different parts of Lybia, a country which those; celebrated nations visited, and in which they established colonies at several different periods, but which it is supposed no Europeans have since explored.—The Gentle man who has been chosen by Government, with the approbation of his MAJESTY, to superintend this expedition, is Mr. BEECIiEY, many years 'Secretary to Mr. SALT, the English Consul to Egypt, and the constant companion of M. BEL- Zost in his late indefatigable researches. The lords of the Admiralty have also afforded every assistance in their power to advance the object of .this expedition by fitting out a small vessel with a. complement of men, and en trusting the command to one of the Lieute nants Who - were engaged under Captain 1 3 ;...nit - Y in the last Northern Expedition, and the same Officer from whose drawings were executed the engravings that embellish the account of that voyage of which the public are in possession.--,- The vessel is intended to sail round the coast and to wait upon the expedition, which will only proceed so far in the interior as will be con sistent with its safety, or allow an easy return to the coast. 'flu: expedition will start from Tri poli to the Bey, of which a communication has been dispatched from this Government to request assistance, which will, no doubt, be afforded as it has formerly b een b y that Power upon similar occasions. Lybia, the country about to be ex plored by our adventurous countrymen, is that which in ancient times contained the two coun tries of Cyrenaica and Marmarica. The former was called Pentapolis, from the five great cities which it- contained ; one of which was Berenice, or llesperis, now Bernic, the spot where the ce lebrated Gardens of the Hesperides ate generally slipposed to have existed. Not. far distant was Barce, or Barca, and Ptolemais, now Tolometa. To. the east of the extreme northern point of the coast, called Thycus Promontorium, now Cape' Rasrit, was Apollonia, now .4farza Su . sa, or Sosusk, formerly the port of Cyrene, that city being situated . a little inla n d : it was _ _ 1 1 2 2 founded by BATTus, who led thither a La cedxmonian - colony from Thera, one of the Cyclades ; and the kingdom was after wards bequeathed to theßomans-by the last of the PTOLFMIES, surnamed AeloN,. and was formed by that nation into a province with Crete. The Expedition will explore the vestiges of it, which are supposed still to remain under the name of Gurin; to the east of this stood the fifth city of ancient Cyrenaica, called Darnis, now Derne, ,Somili of Marmarica (before mentioned,) which our countryinrn will visit, and in the midst of the sands of the Libyan Desert, was. a small and beautiful spot, refreshed by streams and luxuriant with verdure, in which stood the Tent_ ple, so celebrated in antiquity, of Jupiter Hammon, said to have-been founded by Bacchus,. in grati. tude to his father Jupiter, who appeared to him when perishing with thirst, in the form of a ratn, and showed him a .fountain. Here was the Fons Solis, whose waters were cold at noon'and hot at Here also the celebrated .ancient Oracle., so difficult of access through the Libyan Deserts, and which was consulted by ALEXANDER the 6‘r REAT after a memorable and dangerous journey,, the token of which, transmitted to posterity, is - the ram's horn upon the head of that Conquero . r on numerous medals. The expedition will in all probability be .engaged three'or four 'years. ARCHERY.-- 7 -The DERBYSHIRE BOWMEN held their second meeting on Monday last at Edemor. The ground on which the targets were fixed commanded a beautiful view of the .park and ma& nificent mansion of Chatsworth. The Dulie of DEVONSHIRE and a large party occupied a large marquee, pitched for their accommodation on the margin of the river, arid two excellent, bands of music were stationed near. The costume of the bowmen. and the Ladies .of the. So ciety was in the best taste, and added much to the effect of the sylvan . scene. The Ladies' first and second prizes were adjudged tO. Miss BENT and Miss CRAUEURD. The Gem- Vernens' to . Colonel CLOwns and the Rev. J. HUNT. . The weather ,continued favourable the whole of the afternoon. A sumptuous dinner was provided after the business of the day, at the inn at Edensor, to which the Duke of DEVONSHIRE sent an abundance of venison, game, and fruits for a desert. After dinner, his Grace presented a beautiful brooch to the Lady Archers, to be drawn for: the design of this splendid ornarneat was a-diamond arrow piercing a heart,,of emerald, of which Mrs. STOVIN was the fortunate winner. A correspondent recommends, the following remedy for violent pains in the bowels,threaten ing inflammations, which are prevalent at this' time.: " A large poultice of bread and milk (quite warm) should be applied to the part—this usually gives ease in a few minutes, when the following; mixture should be taken :—half a drachm of rheubarb, a tea-spoonful of paregoric elixir, mixed in a glass of peppermint water, or, gin, if the other cannot be procured."--.—:(Oxford Journal.)
