The prisoner then called, as a witness, Elizabeth Lockey, who deposed that she was passing by the Green Man at the time the disturbance took place, and saw the landlord eject the prisoner from the house, in doing which he made use of a great deal of unnecessary violence. She was not acquainted with either of the parties. Mr. BROUGHTON said he certainly should not call upon the prisoner to enter into rccognizances. No evidence had been called as to his conduct on the Friday, and he be lieved the case to have been very much exaggerated by the witnesses for the prosecution. The prisoner was well dressed, and he could not understand why he had been refused admittance into the parlour. The landlord said that the other parlour customers would leave if the prisoner were admitted, as he was in the habit of bringing improper companions with him, and the language he indulged in was disgusting to the parlour customers.

GENTLEMEN, lAM informed fbitn various quarters, that from an early period of the day, the electors on their way to the polling-booths were assured that I had resigned. I should have thought my past conduct would have prevented any etector from supposing mo capable of so contemptible a proceeding. You have been outwitted; and all you have to do is to try again. Poll against the Whigs on Friday. Let us calculate what we have lost and what we have gained. We have been deprived of the expected opportunity of making a demonstration of our numbers in Manchester. But we have Made a rally for the Unrepresented, which will not be lost sight of, and have set the example of a movement which others will follow with better fortune than ours. TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS. AMEDICAL GENTLEMAN, attached to the Reyal Household, of a long established and lucra tive practice in the %Vest-end of the Town, WILL RECEIVE into his small family a well-educated YOUTH, about eighteen years of age, of respectable and religious connexions, and of good disposition and conduct, to qualify him as his successor to an honourable, scientific, and profitable profession. An adequate premium will be expected, and satisfactory references will be given and required. Address, post paid, to A. T., 270, Regent-street, Oxford-street. September 9, 1839. Mr. BROUGHTON said a great deal of unnecessary fas tidiousness had been exhibited as regarded the prisoner. As ho was not intoxicated on the Saturday night, he did not think the landlord was justified in refusing to supply him with liquor, especially as it appeared he was a regular customer. Under all the circumstances of the case, he felt it his duty to discharge the prisoner on his paying a fine of one shilling. The prisoner immediately paid the money, and quitted the dock.

ItAbICAL ELECTORS OF MANCHESTER, . You have fallen to pieces before the commonest of election stratagems. The first whiff of Whig wind blew you down like a house of cards. You have made a sorrowful display, not of your strength, but of your skill in using it ; for nobody be lieves there are only 63 men in Manchester who wish for Universal Suffrage and dislike the New Poor Law. Men pining in prisons were listening for you; women and children in poor-houses were looking through the grates to see you do something towards their relief ; the Unrepresented everywhere had their eyes upon you; and lo the Manchester mountain pro duces a list of 63. But failures are of little consequence except as they affect men's minds. You have carried much, though not all you might. Badly as you have managed, you have clearly esta blished the fact that no political party can do without you. The Whigs' majority has been brought down from 1,877 to 127; and they will not be in a hurry to try what it will be next. What has dispersed you now, will never do it again. At a General Election, which cannot be far off, you will bring in your man, and choose what other party you will take into partnership. See now what you would have gained if you had stood stoutly to your work this time. Radicalism would have been picked out of the dirt into which it has been trodden by the detection of its leaders in the House of Commons and the errors of the Chartists. A " heavy blew and notable discouragement" would have been given to the compact which keeps the Whigs in office as the cat's-paw of the Tories. This is what you have done by halves. But the half is worth keeping, and shall be kept accordingly. All honour to the 63. A plain medal shall be struck, "In commemoration of the sixty-three electors of Manchester who voted at the raising of the flag of the Unrepresented in Sep tember 1839," and the name of a voter engraved on each. The time will come when your families will value them. To the rest,—Keep the colour which I left with you, and see if another time you can support it better. I remain, your sincere and faithful servant, T. PER RONET THOMPSON. Manchester, 7th September, 1839. BIRMINGHAM POLICE BILL. AT a Meeting of the TOWN COUNCIL of the BOROUGH of BIRMINGHAM, held in the Com mittee-room of the Town Hall, on the 3d of September instant; The MAYOR in the Chair; It was resolved as follows : _ _ That the Act, which has just passed through Parliament, in tituled " An Act for improving the Police of Birmingham," is, in effect, a measure of confiscation of almost the whole, and, certainly, of, by far, the most important of the municipal rights of this newly-created Corporation. That the measure in question was introduced unsolicited and unsought by this Council : an assertion, to which it will not be enough to say in answer, that the Mayor had previously ad dressed a letter to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, suggesting the expediency of assisting the bo rough with a loan, for the purpose of establishing a more efficient police; since that letter was not, nor did it pro fess to be, written by the authority or with the privity of the Town Council; but was, on the face of it, merely a private inquiry as to the probable course of the Govern ment in the matter to which it related :—whilst the intima tion which it contained that, if the answer were favourable, the Town Council should be convened to consider the subject, told, as plainly as words could speak, that, as yet, the Council had not expressed any opinion with respect to the proceeding. That, moreover, so far was the letter An question from sug gesting, or, even in the most distant manner, hinting at the appointment of a Government Commissioner, or the establish ment of so odious and unconstitutional a force as a Government Police, that it distinctly pointed out the Town Council as the recipients of the loan, and the only proper authority for apply ing it to its intended purpose. That, however the Government may now choose to put a different construction on this communication from the Mayor, it is plain that it was, at first, distinctly understood in this sense, and in this sense alone, by the Home Secretary, who, accordingly brought a Bill into Parliament authorising a loan of Ten 'Thousand Pounds to the Town Council. Nor was it until Sir Robert Peel, and a deputation from the Birmingham Tories, in perfect consistency with their known hostility to popular institutions, and the representative principle, had sig nified to him their wishes on the subject (wishes apparently too much like command), that he abandoned his original mea sure, anti substituted in its place another, which, if it . were not contrived on set purpose, was, at all events, obviously cal culated to afford a triumph to the opposite party, by taking away the authority, and disparaging the character of the new municipal system. That the measure, thus introduced by the Government, on the suggestion of its political opponents, is obviously founded on false pretences :—For, though the reason for passing the Act, as alleged in the preamble, is, that " doubts are entertained as to the authority of the Corporation to levy rates ;" (doubts, be it observed, which never ought to have existed, and never would have existed, had only proper caution been exercised in framing the Charter ; ) yet, instead of adopting Lord Brougham's sug gestion of limiting the duration of the Act to the continuance of those doubts, it fixes, for this purpose, an arbitrary and un necessarily long period of two years, and " from thence to the end of the next Session of Parliament." Words of an alarm ing import, and showing an already half-formed intention to renew the measure on the expiration of the appointed time. That, as a further proof of the disingenuousness which has characterised the whole of this proceeding, it is worthy of ob servation, that, when Lord Brougham proposed to vest the appointment of the Commissioner in the Town Council rather than in the Government, the suggestion was resisted bz Lord Duncannon, on the strange ground, " That the Town Council had petitioned for a police :—" a ground as has already been shown, false in fact, and, even if true, absurdly inconclusive as an argument ; since it is surely one thing to have a police, and another to have a Government Commissioner at the head of it. That, no sooner did the Council become acquainted with the real nature of this measure, than they indignantly repudiated it, as a marked insult to the intelligent Burgesses of this town, than whom, no where can men be found better fitted far the duty of self-government—as an outrage to the representative principle —and as a violation of that system of municipal polity, which has ever been deemed, and by none professedly, more than by the present Ministers, to lie at the foundation of—and to be the best security for—NATIONAL LIBERTY. That, unless this usurpation be firmly resisted at the threshold, this Council truly believes, and now warns the people of Eng , land to that effect, that the precedent just created will not prove barren ; but that, upon one pretence or other, all the Mu nicipal bodies throughout the country, will, before long, be stripped of their rightful privileges and authorities, and reduced to a state of slavish submission to the general Government. That, for the above reasons, this Council does now, strongly and emphatically, PROTEST against the attempt, thus made, to engraft one of the most pernicious institutions of Conti nental tyranny on the true English system of popular repre sentation ; and hereby declares its conviction, that it is in duty bound to avail itself of all just and lawful means to relieve this town, and to guard the country, at large, from a measure so despotic and unconstitutional.

It has been a source of great comfort in the nursery and oed-room of he invalid, affording an uniform temperature through the day and night, with only one supply, while the most delicate test cannot detect anything arising from its use which is injurious to health—it merely warms the air without decomposing it; and, as there is no dioo r,nto none of the gases generated by combustion can pass the apartment. Wh erever warmth is required, this Stove is applicable. It is as desirable for the drawing-room as the laundry ; for warming greenhouses it possesses extraordinary claims, the very great expense of building flues, and afterwards the immense con sumption of fu.l, being avoided. For workshops and ships' cabins it is invaluable ; it requires attention only once in twenty-four hours, during which time the cost will not exceed twenty-fo ur Price, Plain, 3/. • Fluted, 3/. 10s.

This Sauce was originally prepared by an eminent E ng li s h Phy s i c i an , res idi ng i n I n di a , where it sig nalised itself in an extraordinary manner for its richness, fulness, piquancy, and strong digestive properties. In India it main tainod a celebrity previously unknown among sauces, and was there considered indispensably requisite, with every kind of fish, meat, game, made dishes, or curries. As a stimulant to the ap petite it is unequalled, possessing a smartness not met with in any other condiment, and is strongly recommended by the Fa culty, for its purity and fine tonic property.

In the low lands numbers of nests were destroyed about the hatching time in June, and second broods were the conse quence, which are now chicks far beneath the notice of the valiant sportsman, and the corn will preserve them from the cowardly assailant. A great quantity of old birds re mained from the carnage of last year's sporting, which, though the weather has not proved very favourable, has produced a plentiful stock for the sportsman and sufficient jaw work for the epicure in game. The coursing gentry may look forward to good sport if the poacher does not foil him in his career, for the fur is to be found in great abundance generally. Pheasants are also very plentiful.— Cheltenham Free Press. FOX KILLED.—For some time past extensive depredations have been committed in the farm yards at Thornwaite, near Keswick, and though the offender in variably contrived to escape from the scene of his noctur nal robberies unseen, little doubt remained in the minds of any of the sufferers that they were indebted to some neighbouring reynard for the wholesale thinning of their feathered occupants of the farm-yard ; the sequel has shown that their surmises were correct, and the marauder's temerity has at length cost him his life. On Saturday last, being determined to bring the matter to an issue, three foxhounds (of the valuable breed for which their owner is famed) belonging to Mr. Isaac Fearon, of Great Braithwaite, were taken to the scene of depredation, and in a short time after casting off tho wily gentleman was started from his snug quarters in the orchard of Mrs. Gibson, of Powter How. The run was short but desperate—the three splendid dogs run the fox down before he had got a quar ter of a mile from the orchard in which he had taken up his temporary abode ! He proved to be a remarkably large dog fox, and his fine condition showed that during the period he had vegetated amongst the good people of Thornthwaite he had never lacked a good meal. The adage tells us " that a full belly never makes a bad day's work :" in this instance we apprehend the axiom does not hold good—reynard had evidently fared too sumptuously, and hence the easy prey he became to his formidable pur suers.—Carlisle Patriot. REPRESENTATION OF CANTERBURY.—The re quisition to Frederick Villiers, Esq., calling upon him to resign any claims which he might have upon the electors of the Liberal party in this city, having been forwarded to that gentleman, an answer has been received. Mr. Villiers states that having . been invited some months since by the Radical Association to come forward again for this city, and having pledged himself to accede to their request, he shall again allow himself to be put in nomination in the event of a future election, in order to represent the Radical Association on the hustings. It is said to be in contem plation to call a general meeting of the " Liberal voters," in order to ascertain what steps are to be taken.—Kentish Observer 'Tory paper). Mr. Gates, the soncitor, attended for the prosecution. At a former examination before the Lord Mayor, Mr. Morse stated that Goldback, a person of whom he had no kno,dedge whatever, called at the warehouse, and re presented himself as Mr. Goulburn, 9, Park-street, Clap. ham Common, giving, at the same time, a reference to a house where he received an u nexceptionable character from a person who afterwards appeared to be an accomplice in the fraud. During Mr. Morse's temporary absence in the country, the prisoner called at the warehouse, and produced several orders for goods from Goldback or Goulburn, which were furnished according to the directions. It was found, however, that no such person lived in Park-street, Clap ham Common, and Vincent, being met somewhere about Hackney, was taken into custody by a person in the employ ment of Mr. Morse, and delivered over to the custody of a policeman. Upon the former examination the prisoner declared be knew notbing of Goldback or Goulburn more than he acquired at a casual meeting at the Elephant and Castle where he was employed by that person to fetch the goods. Mr. Gates stated that 1* had evidence to prove that Vincent and Goldback bad been long connected in a sort of partnership to defraud the shop. keepers of the metropolis, and that their swindling manoeuvres, which were exyli,, sive, had been very suc cessful, notwithstanding the declaration of the prisoner, that that they were strangers to each other. Vincent laughed, and shook his head. Sir PETER LAURIE—S ure ly I know you, Vincent. I a m convinced that you have been charged before me on a former occasion , at Guildhall? Vincent (smiling)—No, my Lord, I never saw you before. Sir PETER LAURIE—I am positive of it. Mr. Gates—He has been frequently charged with plun dering tradesmen, and has been imprisoned. Sir PETER LAURIE—Ie is quite ridiculous in him to say that he and I are not acquainted. Vincent—Why, the truth is, we have met before, Sir Peter. You certainly have a fine recollection. I was pulled before you at Guildhall about eight or nine years ago. A sheriff's officer wished to arrest me for debt, and an attempt was made to accomplish that by a false charge, but you would net listen to it, and discharged me. That's the truth. Policeman No. 146 of the N division stated that he knew the prisoner and Goldback to be common and infa mous swindlers about town, acting in company for years. They had defrauded great numbers of tradesmen, and con trived, by playing ingeniously into each other's hands, aided by others of their gang, to escape in several in stances by giving their cheating the eppearanco of debt. The impudence with which they accomplished the object of plundering was quite without a parallel. The moment one succeeded ill getting goods by false represen tations he passed the word to other fellows of the same class, and the unfortunate trader soon became a victim to the amount often of hundreds. Of late Vincent had been tried at the Old Bailey and sent to the Penitentiary. Sir PETER LAURIE—How long were you in the Pe nitentiary, prisoner ? Vincent —Only a month, Sir Peter, and should not have been there at all if they had not been prejudiced against me. They owed me a spite.—( Laughter. ) Policeman 146—The Recorder summed up rather fa vourably to him, as his Lordship thought the offence had some resemblance to a debt, but the Jury were tradesmen, and saw at once that the accused was a common cheat, and they found him guilty. Sir PETER LAURIE—No doubt all persons who are con victed consider the decision of the Juries as the result of spite. Vincent—That officer has a prejudice against me, Sir Peter. Sir PETER LAURIE—No doubt of it. He knows you to be a common cheat, and he feels towards you accordingly. Vincent—l assure you that I consider that verdict a very unfair one, and it) did the Recorder. Sir PETER LAURIE--I am quite aware that you consider it unfair. What effect had it upon you ? What have you been doing since? Vincent—l have been acting most up rightly.—( Laughter. ) Policeman N 146—He has been constantly engaged in swindling, and it is most surprising that tradesmen will not make proper inquiries about persons of this descrip tion before they let them have goods. A little ordinary care will protect shopkeepers, but they won't use it. Policeman N 12 said that Vincent and Goldback had been both in custody several times for swindling. and were constant companions in committing plunder in the Way described. ......g . 11 :- FETER LAURIE applauded the zeal and activity of Policeman 146 of the N division, and advised that ex ertions should be made to apprehend Goldbeck. Mr. Morse said that if he could have procured the as sistance of a policeman at Bc!hnal.grecn on Saturday morning he could have secured Goldloack, but not one was to be found in the neighbourhood. He saw that person go into a house, and after having in vain tried to find a po liceman for half an hour, he made an attempt to appre hend Goldbeck himself, but did not succeed, in conse quence of the interference of the owner of the house. He would do the justice to the police on duty to say that they did all they could for him and they accounted for the dif ficulty experienced in obtaining aid by the fact that the night police were about to be substituted for the day police at the time when the interposition was required. Vincent was then remanded. Mr. Childe, of the firm of Messrs. Wire and Childe, Solicitors, applied to Sir Peter Laurie, on the subject of the course intended to be pursued by the City Magistrates, relative to the closing of p u bli c houses on Sunday after their first opening on that d ay ? H o a ppeared on behalf of Mr. Cooke, a licensed v i ctua ll er , i n the vicinity of Can non-street, whose house stood at a corner exactly opposite the Church, and who considered himself as placed in rather an awkward situation. It happened that at this Church alluded to there was evening ser vice, but no afternoon service. Now, in con formity with the Lord Mayor's determination, ex pressed a few day ago in the justice room, that all pub lic houies in the City should be closed from three to five o'clock on Sundays, Mr. Cooke had closed Ids house during these hours, and as his license directed that all houses should be closed during the hours of divine service observed in each parish, he also closed his doors while the evening service was going forward. In the other parishes in which morning and afternoon service alone was per formed, the publicans did not consider themselves, of course, under any obligation to close in the evening, so that the neighbouring public-houses were open and doing busi ness when Mr. Cooke's excluded all custom. . Sir PETER LAURIE--I consider that Mr. Cooke is not bound to keep his house closed after five o'clock, whether there be Church service in the evening or not. The old established time for afternoon service is from three to half past four or five o'clock, and if any complaint was made be fore me that a publican kept his house open while church service was going on in the evening, I would not take any notice of it. We have no control in such a case. Mr. Child said as Mr. Cooke was differently situated from any other publican in the City, and as he did not wish to be looked upon as one who would entertain a thought in favour of the infraction of the law, he felt most anxious to be correctly informed on the point. Sir PETER LAURIE—If a clergyman neglects to perform his duty to the parishioners in the afternoon, it is not the publicans' fault, and the publican is not bound to shut up because the service is performed at the time best suited to the clergyman. Mr. Child said, that Mr. Wire had waited upon the Bishop of London on the subject, but his Lordship did not give any decided opinion on the subject, but intimated that it should meet with due consideration. Sir PETER LAURIE —Humbly representing the LORD MAYOR, as I do, I am bound to say that I would not in. terfere with a publican who opens his house at five o'clock, end if a clergyman chose to preach a sermon any hour after that time, I don't see why that is to a effect a pub lican.—( A laugh.) Mr. Child—lf there was not a settled time for the due observance of all the trade, constructions might be put upon the Act showing that public-houses must be kept closed during the whole of Sunday—we are then to understand that Mr. Cook is to close from three till five, and not in the evening? Sir PRTER LAURIE —Certainly ; I shall fine him if it be proved before me that he does not close his house from three till five, but I shall not fine him if he opens after five. I was rather surprised to find that yesterday at the West end of the town several of tile public-houses were open during Church t ime. myself open at f o u r I saw some o'clock, and nobody seemed to notice the circumstance. IVORSHIP-STREET, TAPROOM v. P A RLOUR.—IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS Joseph Lee, who looked a respectable mechanic, was placed at the bar, charged with creating a disturbance at he Green Man, hackney. The Solicitor who appeared for the prosecutor said that the prisoner was willing o enter into his recogni- , and that if that zan ces to keep the peace IL r six month s were done he shou ld not enter into the case. Mr. BROUGHTON said lie would not bind any man to keep the peace without going into tile case. The Solicitor then proceeded with the case, and it ap peared from the evidence of Mr. Herman, the landlord of the Green Man , an d that of James Forsyth, his servant, that the prisoner, who is a taproom customer, in sisted on being served with beer on Friday night, after the gas had been turned out, at half -past eleven, the usual hour of closing, and on Mr. H erman refus i ng to serve him, lie i forced his way into the parlour and insisted on being served. On being refused he said he would ro turn again with a party on Saturday, and prevent any of the parlour customers being served. The prisoner did S accordingly return wit h a party an on aturday, who forced their way into the p by their c on d uc t and arlour ! d threatening language forced all the customers to qu i t . The prisoner then went to the Fountain opposite and pro cured some beer, which be brought back to the Green Man, and insisted upon being permitted to drink it there. In consequence of this the prisoner had been given into Icustody. In his defence the prisoner denied making use of abusive language en the Saturday, and said that on t h e F r id a y he was irritated at being refused admittance into the parlour. The decision of the worthy Magistrate appeared to e.. cite considerable surprise among the persons present in the office. BAMBOO, THE NEW CHIMPANZEE AT THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, RE GENT'S PARK. Bamboo, the chimpanzee now in the Zoological So ciety's Gardens, Regent's-park, and the subject of the following sketch, was purchased by Lieut. Henry K. Sayers, about a year ago, from a mandingo at Sierra Leone, who related that he had captured him in the Bullora country, having first shot the mother, on which occasions the young ones never fail to remain by by their wounded parents. On becoming Lieut. Sayers' he was delivered over to a black boy, a servant, and in a few days became so attached to him as to be exceedingly troublesome, screaming and throwing him self into the most violent passion if he attempted to leave him for a moment. He evinced also a strange af fection for clothes, never omitting an opportunity of pos sessing himself of any garment left near him, which he im mediately carried to the piazza, where he invariably seated himself on it with a self-satisfied grunt, nor would he re sign it without a bard fight, and on being worsted exhi bited every symptom of the greatest anger. Observing this strange fancy, Mr. Sayers procured him a piece of cotton cloth, which, much to the amusement of all who saw him, he carried with him wherever he went, nor would any temptation induce him to resign it, even for a moment. In the morning at eight o'clock he received a piece of bread, about the size of a halfpenny loaf, steeped in water or milk and water, about two o'clock a couple of bananas or plaintains, and before he retired for the night a banana, orange, or slice of pine apple. The banana appears to be his favourite food ; for it he would forsake everything else, and if not gratified would exhibit the utmost petulance. On one occasion it was deemed necessary to refuse him one, considering that he had already eaten a sufficiency, upon which he threw himself into a violent rage, and uttering a piercing cry, knocked his head with such force against the wall as to throw him on his back, then getting upon a chest which was near, he dashed his arms about in the most furious manner, and at length precipitated himself from it ; in short, lie exhibited, on all oc casions where his will was opposed, the impa tient temper of a spoiled child, but even in the height of passion he never showed any disposition to bite or otherwise ill-treat his keeper. Although he never would object to be caressed or nursed by a stranger, he never evinced the slightest disposition to make the acquaintance of any other animal. This strange attachment to the human race, and dislike to all other animals, may be considered one of the most extraordinary features of this genus. His cunning is also remarkable ; on all occasions when he thinks he is unobserved, he steals everything within his reach, for no other apparent purpose than to gratify ti propensity for thieving. When lie thinks, however, that any one is observing him, he watches for his opportunity with the greatest patience. In his habits, unlike the mon key tribe, he is extremely cleanly. Bamboo, at the time of purchase, appeared to be about fourteen months old, and he will not reach his full growth until he is be tween nine and ten years of age. When full grown the height of the chimpanzee is about four or five feet, and the natives say that in their wild state their strength is enormous, and that they have seen them snap boughs off the trees with the greatest apparent ease, which the united strength of two men could scarcely bend. THE VAMPIRE BAT AT THE SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. The vampire bat, which has lately been received at the Surrey Gardens from Sumatra, is a young male. Its body is covered with an integument resembling black kid leather, and the position in which it usually places itself is that of being suspended from the bars of the cage, with the head downwards. Its wings are capable of being extended about two feet. Its tongue is long and pointed, and this is the only external peculiarity which would prompt the belief that it possesses the san guinary attributes. As to the fact, whether or not it possesses those attributes, authorities differ. Cuvier says, " The truth appears to be, that the vampire in flicts only small wounds, which may probably become inflammatory and gangrenous, from the influence of the climate." On the other hand, Captain Stedman, who travelled in Surinam, relates that he himself lost about 14 ounces of blood from the bites of a vampire in one night ; and he farther says of the animal, " It is said to perform the operation by inserting its aculeated tongue into the vein of a sleeping person, with so much dexterity as not to he felt ; at the same time fanning the air with its large wings, and thus producing a sensation so de lightfully cool that the sleep is rendered still more pro found, and the unfortunate person reduced almost to death before he awakes." Bishop Heber again says, " The vampire bat of India is a very harmless creature, of habits entirely different from the idea entertained of it in England. It only cats fruits and vegetables, and indeed its teeth are not indicative of carnivorous habits, and from blood it turns away when offered to it. The vampire of South America appears to be of a more sanguinary nature than that of India, to which country the vampire of the Surrey Gardens belongs. Mr. Waterton, a living traveller, says of the South Ameri can vampire, " The vampire is a species of bat which sucks the blood of man and every other unprotected animal. There are two species in Demerara, both of which suck living animals. °tie is rather larger than the common bat. The other measures about two feet from wing to wing extended. So gently does this nocturnal surgeon draw the blood, that instead of being roused, the patient is lulled into a still profounder sleep." Mr. Waterton relates an instance of the destructive habit of the South American vampire :—" A gentleman, by name Walcott, lived high up the river Demerara. While I was passing a day or two at his house, the vampires sucked his son, a boy about ten or eleven years old, some of his fowls, and his jackass. The youth showed me his forehead at day-break ; the wound was still bleeding apace, and I examined it with minute attention. The poor ass was doomed to be a prey to those imps of the night. I saw, by the numerous sores on his body, and by his apparent debility, that he would sink under his afflictions. Mr. Walcott told me that it was with great difficulty he could keep a few fowls, on account of the smaller vampires, and that the larger kind was killing his poor ass by inches. It was the only quadruped he had brought ttp with him into the forest." It is a lamentable fact that Ireland cannot boast of a solitary patron of the arts, properly so called. A collection of pictures by modern masters is unknown here ; not so with our neighbours. The proud boast of an Englishman now-a-days is, that he possesses works of men of genius of his own country while they live ; and he is happy to see the genius of Old England rival that of Greece or Rome in the happiest efforts :of their skill; he lives to see it, and is happy in rewarding it. Many private gentlemen in England possess collections of the works of modern British artists not surpassed by the paintings of any age or country in the world. We should rejoice to find Irish gentlemen with the same enterprising spirit, but it is remarkable, that while Englishmen and Scotolgoon laud and assist their countrymen, we find Irish. men unjustly traduce and avoid each other. We hope shortly to see this ridiculous and ungenerous habit abo lished, that it may not become a proverb, to the everlasting disgrace of the people. In Ireland there is one feature in the conduct of certain gentlemen respecting works of art which requires especial notice. Many hundreds of old pic tures, to our certain knowledge, arc sold annually by auc tion in Dublin, at the same time that many talented artists are languishing for want of employment, and even for their daily bread. The pictures which are sold in this way be long to the black invisible genus in Holland, &c., and are purchased with avidity by the savants of Ireland.—Pdy technic Journal. PORTRAIT OF WIII'FEFIEI.D.—IIc was some thing above the middle stature, well proportioned, though at that time slender, and remarkable for a native grace fulness of manner. His complexion very fair, his features regular, his eyes small and lively, of a dark blue colour — in recovering from the measles he had contracted a squint with one of them ; but this peculiarity in no way les' eued the expressive sweetness of his countenance. His voice excelled both in melody and compass, and its fine modu lations were happily accompanied by that grace of action which he possessed in an eminent degree, and which has been said to be the chief requisite of an orator.- 1 Countess of Huntingdon's Life and Times, Vol. 11. It appears that the William schooner cleared out of the London Docks on Sunday at high water, bound for i Ostend, an d was l a d en to an unusua l, an d as t turned out, dang erous d egree . A t t h e t i me o f h er leaving the docks, and indeed during the whole of Sunday, the wind blew heavily from the south-west, which increased at times to a stiff gale. The William, besides being i c i e e e rts l s T lade n b e l ow i n t h e hold, and both cabins, had upwards of 20 t ons o f sugar stowed upon her decks. She pro ceeded topsail carefully re set, she a and being afely a clown fore and the n ha ft ringi g e e s, d experi encing ss littl e i nconven i ence from the wind, and having until just b e f ore s h e came to Erith Reach, when, by the captain' s or d ers, t h e topsail was struck, as the wind had consider a bly i ncrease d . T he vessel had arrived about mid-chan ne l i n E r i t h R each, when the wind in veel creased suddenly and fearfully, and the vessel heeled over in an alarming manner. The crew, with the quick ness of thought, sprung into the skiff, which was towing astern, and belonged to the waterman who was helping the vessel out of the River, and leaving in their alarm the Custom-house officer who was on board the vessel. They had scarcely got into the boat when a sudden squall caught the schooner ; she heaved heavily, and turned right over, going to the bottom immediately. The boat astern, into which the captain and crew had jumped, was being dragged under, when the waterman, with great presence of mind, cut the headfast, and they were saved. The Custom-house officer had risen to the surface, clinging to an oar. It fortunately ' happened that the Pearl, Gravesend Diamond Company's boat, which left Gravesend at three o'clock in the at: ternoon, was passing up the River at the moment, and the captain, Mr. John Pindar, immediately gave the word to stop the vessel, which was not more than thirty yards off at the time of the accident. Before, how ever, this could be done, two of the crew, named Cox and Browne, had jumped into the Pearl's boat, and a number of the passengers, previously alarmed at the occurrence, ran to the stern of the vessel, and let go the fastenings before the paddle wheels had been stopped. The Pearl's boat immediately plunged headlong into the River, and was swamped, the men in her being precipitated under the water. The Pearl having being stopped, the exertions of the cap tain were directly shown in endeavouring to rescue the men, who were struggling in the water, and after much danger and labour, he fortunately succeeded in rescuing the whole of them—the Custom-house officer having clung the whole of the time to the oar that had origi nally held him up. The men, much exhausted, were taken into the cabin of the Pearl, and treated with the utmost kindness by the captain and steward, and shortly recovered from their alarm. The vessel was n9t over crowded with sail at the time, and there was, apparently, no blame to be attached to the captain or crew, the un fortunate accident being mainly attributable to the sud den and violent squall, and the top-heavy lading upon deck. The vessel now lies in mid-channel, in Erith Reach, in about six or seven fathoms water,and will, until removed, be a very great obstruction to the navigation of the River ; her cargo altogether is said to have been of great value. The crew were taken to London on board the Pearl, and landed at the Custom-house quay. The whole of the cargo is, of course, lost. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (LLOYD'S.)

THE GALE.—On Sunday morning it blew a tremendous gale of wind from S. S.W., accompanied at short intervals with very heavy squalls. Several coasting vessels, which were beating up the River at the time, lost their foretopmasts and other gear. Amongst those arrived yesterday afternoon with the loss of foretopmast, was the clipper-built schooner Scottish Maid, Captain Watson, belonging to Aberdeen, and from that port with a general cargo. The tiers of colliers and other coasting vessels moored on the River, rode in safety, but heavily, throughout the gale. It is feared, however, that the damage done at sea, particularly on the north-east coast, has been considerable. The gale moderated about four o'clock, A.M. ; but on Sunday night it continued to blow strong from about W. S. W , with cloudy weather. The shipping in the docks did not receive the slightest injury. In the forenoon, the American line-of-packet ship Presi dent, Captain Chadwick, sailed from the St. Katharine's Dock for New York, with a valuable cargo of merchandise, and a considerable number cf emigrants. It is known in the navy that no officer is eligible to do duty as a commander under a captain, unless he has commanded a sloop-of-war for three years, or served for a like period as first lieutenant of a rated ship; under a memorandum,however, from the Admiralty, dated 25th of April (hut which has not been circulated in the service, although it is published in the last " Naval List"), the Lords Commissioners have been pleased to direct " that two years' service as a first lieutenant of a sloop of war, or as gunnery lieutenant, may be counted for one served as first lieutenant of a rated ship, and' so on in proportion." PLYMOUTH. SEPT. 5.—A court-martial will be held on Monday on board the Britannia flag-ship in this harbour, to try Lieutenant W. B. T. Rider, Royal Ma rines, of the Madagascar, on charges of disobedience of orders, contempt to his superiors, and unofficer-like conduct. If a balloon, capable of taking up a hundred per sons at once, were harnessed to the earth by a rope or chain of a quarter of a mile long, no doubt can reasonably be en tertained that thousands would go up daily. We have con sulted Mr. Green on the subject, and have fully convinced that enterprising aeronaut of the practicability of the thing. By firmly screwing a heavy crane to the top of Primrose Hill, round the barrel of which the required length of rope was twined, a balloon might gradually be let into the air at a rate of speed little exceeding that of the pile•driving monkey. This very deliberate asccht would produce a sensation altogether new and delightful. Primrose Hill would be crammed with persons anxious to have a ride in the atmospheric omnibus, and large sums of money would be taken daily when it once became generally known that individuals might be " craned " into the air five times as high as St. Paul's, and then craned down again with per fect security, and all for sixpence 1 Some people may laugh at this project, and think we are jesting. No such thing. We have long entertained an opinion that the spe culation would be extremely profitable. Indeed, we have every reason to exoect that the proprietors of Vauxhall will carry it into effect before long, unless some enterpris ing company-monger shall meanwhile step in, and make it the basis of future operations for the Stock Exchange.— Po/ytechnic Journal. VERY D RUN K.-A Boston paper tells the story of a chap returning home on foot, who w as so essentially corned that he took the canal instead of the turnpike road, and waded three miles before he discovered his mistake. On Saturday morning Mr . Ral p h, a collecting clerk to Messrs. Fine) , and Walters, tea brokers, had his pocket picked of pocket-book, containing Bank of England notes and cheques to the amount of 6001. during the time he was looking in at the shop window of a picture ahop in the Strand. A letter from Constantinople, in giving an ac count of the service rendered by the Prince of Joinville, and the officers and sailors who assisted him m extinguish ing the fire at Pere, states that " the Prince, losing his temper at the calmness of the Turks, who, although. the Seraskier Halil Pacha was present, sat quietly on the ground smoking their pipes whilst their houses were burn. ing, exclaimed, Look at those fools who ate doing nothing; they would rather let 10,000 hou ses b urn th an pull down 20 to prevent it.' One of the l'achas, turning to the Prince, said, in good French, Your advice shall be followed, Prince, the order is given. I understand F renc h, gentlemen.' The Prince and those who were with him, however, were compelled to perform this work themselves. After the file, they saw the Seraskier quietly sitting on a carpet smoking his pipe.

At the expiration of three years the subjcet passes into the landwehr of the Ist Ban, which dual consists of the best trained men, instead of, like onr militia, being the least experienced. During about the first two years of landwehr duty, they form what is called the war reserve, and arc more liable to ser- 4 vice than afterwards ; and though less so than the line, would be the next to be called out in an emergency. Every first and second year this landwehr has to as semble for a fortnight, in the third year for about five or six weeks, to prepare for the mancouvre under the eye of the King. At the age of forty the Prussian is tranferred to the 2d Ban, and is not required to , leave the country, except in extreme cases, and would not be required at all, except for garrison duty, or that the Ist Ban be abroad.

T HE ROMANCE OF PRIVATE LIFE, BY MISS BURNEY. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. S WE DEN. Through the kindness of friend, we are supplied with some interesting information concerning Sweden ; a country whose affairs attract little attention in Eng land at present, but which on the death of its present sovereign will probably become the theatre of important events. Bernadotte, at the age of seventy-five, with wonder ful vigour of mind and body for such an age, is still ruling the country almost absolutely according to his own whims. He has hitherto managed the Represen tative Assembly, such as it is, with little difficulty : and when opinions. a difference has H oos gradually s arisen, he formed l i a s a Ministry of mast insignificant persons ; and being really the cleverest man in his council, he pays not the slightest attention to their opinion or advice. The nation is becoming very much dissatisfied with the management of affairs ; but on account of Bernadotte'. military fame, the extreme kindness of his manners in private, as well as his old age, the Swedes will pro bably, as long as he lives, refrain from taking any violent measures to obtain greatly needed reforms in the representation, in criminal and civil legislation, in education, and in trade. For a quarter of a century no system has been followed—nothing but patching up and getting rid of difficulties for the moment ; in which respect Swedish legislation and government very much resemble our own. Disturbances broke out last year at Stockholm, in consequence chiefly of some Ministerial tampering with the administration of justice ; and the result was so far good, that it is likely to deter men in power from again meddling with juries and judges. The Prince Royal, too, from that time, seems to have taken his parti. Till then Prince Oscar was known only as a good husband, a veracious man of pleasing manners, and accomplished in literature and the arts. F ew h a d an y id ea o f hi s p u blic principles. He avoided political discussions, and had surrounded himself with persons as insignificant as his fathers minis. ters, so the nation could not tell what to expect. Serious alarm arose among the friends of the Bernadotte dynasty ; for it was evident that the Swedes would not endure from a young man the misgovernment which they tolerate in the present King. Prince Oscar, how. ever, is now known as the author of two very liberal articles in the Government paper—the only liberal ones which could have been inserted there. One relates to national education, the other to a municipal law for the whale country. When the king was absent last winter for six months in Norway,Osear, at the head of the Govern ment, exhibited much assiduity and good principle. He declared himself strongly against all exceptional laws, the punishment of death, corporal punishment, and re strictions on commerce. He has discarded most of his insignificant courtiers, and replaced them by men of good reputation and influence in society. The two last Chamberlains are Baron Wrede and Count Sparre, men of great !earning and unblemished character. Sweden therefore indulges in pleasing anticipations of benefit from the reign of Bernadotte's successor ; and the only fear arises from the knowledge that the fair promises of a Prince heir apparent, are seldom fulfilled by a King. —Spectator. THE MARQUIS OF LONDON DERRY AND THE CLERGY OF RIPON. (From the Durham Advertiser;) We have had the honour to receive from the Mar quis of Londonderry the following copy of the answer sent by his Lordship to the Address of the Clergy of Ripon, Thirsk, and neighbourhood, upon the subject of the late duel : " Wynyard Park, Aug. 16, 1839. " Sir,—l have received, with becoming gratitude, and with the respect to which it is entitled, your letter of yesterday's date, accompanied by a representation to me of the clergy of Ripon, Thirsk, and their neighbourhoods, for my unchristian proceeding in vio lating the laws of God, by accepting a challenge and fighting a duel with Mr. H. Grattan. That any action of mine should so far interest the great body of clergymen who have signed the document must be to me a flattering circumstance, inasmuch as it is not called for by any connection between the par ties and the individual, as was the case, if my memory serves me, in Bath, upon a similar remonstrance made by the Clergy, &c., of that city, to Lord Powers court, their Member. Your exordium, therefore, to myself must be the more flattering ; while if you, and the other Clergymen who are signing parties to the representation, had ever read Lord Powerscourt's answer on the occasion 1 have alluded to, I am sure you will all have admitted nothing of reasoning or logic could be added to the irrefragable facts that arc there laid down so truly and so admirably by so young a man, and that man not in my profession of arms. " You call upon me, as a Christian Senator and Nobleman, instead °Mowing to the evil requirements of a worldly code, to have substituted exalted station and religious principles. But you forget that this , ()muse might, in all probability, have entailed personal chastise ment and insult. Allow me to observe, Sir, to your cloth, this may pass over. Civil action may irdroutt, But to ours, this can never be risked. " Did the clergy of any part of the empire remon strate with the hero of one hundred fights when he met Lord Winchilsca in a duel ? From whence, then may I ask, arises the extreme anxiety at this poment, upon a far humbler and less important matter. The clergy remonstrating seem to wish for publicity, and your letter informs me my reply may have an influence on society. But 1 should lose the degree of character I have (1 hope) obtained through life, for candour straightforwardness, if I did not at once declare that while you, as clergymen, arc compelled to View this transaction as unsanctioned and unauthorized by God, We as soldiers are bound to fight to uphold the altar' and throne when attacked, and for this high duty our gm, merits must be unsullied as yours, and while you in th e due exercise of your high calling arc bound to preach the Gospel and administer consolation to the repentant sinner, you must leave to the British soldier the un fettered.right of being the bast judge and arbiter of his own honour, while he religiously believes, that in doin his duty in that state of life to which Providence ha g s called him, he will find mercy in the Redeemer, Instead of drawing down the wrat h o f God, as you seem to announce.
