I raise The HYMN of Gratitude and Praise, For Prayer began in SoIZG Mr. PRATT—whom, we are happy to bear, is in a fair way of recoveryoafter upwards 'of a twelvemonth's sntler.ng and confinemynt, by a fall from his horse. We have auti►n rity to contradict the assertion in the Morning licruld, and some other London and Provincial Papers, of Mr. Pratt hav ing addressed any lines to Miss Jane Smith, under the title of the " LILY of LEAMINGTON." THE PUFF MORTAL. Entroa,—Whatever designation Philoso phers and Politicians may apply to the , present age, it is•vet•y evident that it is The Age of Pay ing, but alas ! though people of erety class are constantly exercising their powers ;n this respect, there are no signs of original genius, for there, are no proofs of inrentice novelty. '1 am induced to trouble you with this remark, in consequence of an article which appears in The Times Newspaper of to-day, stating, that a Dr. lkonEnTosi luta de parted this life. Now, Mr. ,lidito,. I should have' lamented that a person, who by his profession, might have been a useful member of Society, had been removed from it by the relentless will of Fate, if I • had not seen the word " ADV an- T;sEMENT — prefixed to the article; and if it had not given the name of a Book, written by the de funct D9ctor, but these circurnstakes broughi Mr. Puff in the httmourous fare of The . Critic al, my mind, and induced me to suspect • that tue aforesaid Doctor is still iu the land of the living, and that, in reality, his book was either still-born, or; after a few struggles for existence, has sunk into -" the tomb of all the Capulets. — Hence, Mr. Editor, I concluded that we should very soon see a contradiction of this report, and that another "ADVERTISEMENT" would prove that the Author is alive; if not merry, and that his work, if dead, is not, vet buried, and. consequently that if -those Resur rection-men called Booksellers, are disposed to•re move it tram its present state, it may still afford work for Critical Dissectors*. Indeed, Mr. Edi tor, I cannot but infer that one of these ingeni ous Resurrection-men has actually taken this me thod of announcing that the, work is among his dead-stoHc, fat. I never can suppine that the Au thor himself has been accessory to his own death, unless, indeed, in order to display his superman rid medical powers in restoring himself once more to life, and .communicating this miracle to the world at large. But, as I before. observed; there is no novelty in killing a man, and him in a few days, fur it is well known iliat en. Itaiian, stained BADDII, (another author too), after haying tried many expedients to live, without effect, was at last induced to heat hinaeY, and, by the assistance of a friend, a subscription was made, for the purpose of gi..ing him. decent interment. But, instead of being " quietly in tuited," the dead ratan suddenly cants to life again, and visited the cotfee-house where the money is•as collected, in order to express his gratitude to thosewhose liberality had restored his animation. There was something so ludicrous in this ex pedient that the late Mr. J RNINaHAM introduced it in his Coi ..'dy of - The Welsh Heiress, and give the character the paint! of Mr. ToransTuNg.. Szpt. 5, ISM iIERMIPPUS ItEDIVIVUS. * The Tinzes of thiq day contains the contradiction which our Correspondent expected.—En. The Lotto CHANCELLOR and the Arehbishop.of CANTERBURY having both refused to have any thing to do with Joanna Sonthcott, Doctor Towzia, we understand, means 'to apply to his Holiness the )PPE to take her into . his holy keeping. . A few days since, two young -couple attended . at a church, not a hundred miles from Charing cross, for the purpose of being joined-togther in the holy bands of wedlock, but the ceremony of riretting on the 'fetters in the first instance, and the solemnly pronouncing the word - obey by the fair lady in this case, 'had stick an effect on the nerves 'of her comnanimn, who was waiting her turn of good offices from the priest, that her frame could not support the shock.? She rushed to the church porch for air, the porch gained, she press ed forward into the street, and - having proceeded . so far, she set off with the fleetness of a doe pur sued by the hounds, leaving the astonished bride groom elect - to lament or to rejoice as might he, at the narrow escape he had experienced whilst standing on the very brink -of the matrimonial: precipice. SCOTCti SUPERSTITION.—LateIy, in the upper part of Peebleshire, a young man, a shepherd, being dissatisfied with the quantity of milk which some of his cows-yielded, shrewdly suspected they were bewitched by an old woman who lived about 13 milts from the spot, whose great age excited the boor's suspicions. Scoring aboon the breath, being the tiny remedy prescribed by the supersti tion which yet remains in that part of, tbe coun try for an evil of such a desperate nature, the owner of the cattle determined to try the cure, setiout for the residence. of the supposed delin quent, and finding the poor old woman at home, cut her severely on the brow. The fellow was im maiately brought before the - Justices, who very properly inflicted on hint a heavy pecuniarit and \ dismissed him with a suitable adult)* nition. NAVAL. NF4WS.

On Sunday the Brisk descried at some distance two vessels, - one of whom she suspected to he a privateer, which proved to be the case ; as she neared them, - she perceived that the privateer was in - the act of plundering the !arge ship, and directly made off. On the. Brisk tatiog possession of the ship, she proved to he /he Hannan, of Greenock, -bound to. Quebec, with a most valuable cargo, and was cap tured, riff the Salters, by the Prince of Neufcha tel American schooner privateer. .Sbe had taken Out a considerable quantity of hale goods, and put a prize maser and six men on board, to take her into L'Orient, • for which port she sailed herself : she has made several captures, and\ alter plunder ing, destroyed them all. We regret. to state, that tl fine ship,. from Li-- verpool to Quebec, witb a cargo' worth near 100,0001. took fire on Thrirsday night, off Wex ford, and iustai,tly burnt •to the water's edge.— The Captain, - passengers, and crew, had merely time .to step into a boat, and after some time were .picked up by a vessel, and brought in here. • This morning sailed the Nimble cutter, with the Atla :tad - Mars transports, having on board the 87th Regiment, fir Portsmouth. An examination by fhree,Caritains took place on board the .3:4lvador del Miindo, at Plymouth, on. Saturday', of the - Midshipmen and Gentlemen Vo lunteers, belonging to the ships 'lately paid off.

West, late a seaman belonging to. his Majesty's sloop Minorca, for assisting in steering an Ame rican schooner, called the Grace and Green, (cap tured by the said -sloop, and re-captured by the Amerr6in,niaster anfl other. Americans on board) into Itilalseilles, during the month of November, 181 U.The C-Onrt being of opinion that the pri soner, in his con d uc t on t.'„c re-capture of the said schooner, acted solely from compulsion, and with out any improper motive, fully acquitted him ; and ascribed the re-capture entirely to negligence on the part of the Officer intrusted with the care of the prize. The CollegC of Medicinsi of Stockholm his discovered that the leaves of the potatoe root, dyed in a particular Manner, giVe a tobacco far superior, in point of fragrance, to ordinary to:- bacco. The King has in consequence ordered the Public Authorities to favour, by every means in their power, the cultivation Of this root. \ The Danish Gazettei warmly recommend the use .of j_the substitute instead of foreign tobacco, which was becothing every, day more general in the kingthim. A very handsOme and elegantly-dressed woman, calling herself' Mrs. Rogers, and a person known by the name of grs. Waterson, have been com mitted to Glasgow gaol, for being concerned in• circulating baSe-money. • Late last night, one of those unfortunate girls who prowl about the,streets at night, coining out of a house in Blair -street, with a bottle in her hand, 'and reeling with liquor, fell forward and broke the. bottle ; a fragment of which pierced .her lungs, and site died in a few minutes. It is awful to, add, though not twenty years of age, such was her depravity, that almost her last breath issued in the most horrid imprecations.--(Edinburgh. Courant) On Tuesday there was a quantity of new oat meal sold in the Edinburgh market. One of the Mail Coach guards was found dead ip his apartment in Arbroath, on the 25th ult. tic was sitting in Ids chair, apparently in the act of taking otT his clothes. On the 10th ult. at Crofthcad; in the parish 'of Knoeltatldt", county of Eton,- a cow, of .a small size, belonging to Mr. INKsoN, brought forth four calves, two 'of which arc dead; but the other two are likely to do well., MI LITA U Y. EXPEDITION TO AMERICA. The fears which are now enter( fined by all classes in America, will be speedily Be sides the force. which must have by this , time landed in Canada, and has probably already &lien its invaders back to their territory, a fr,-sli cnr barkation of about 3000 troops is on the eve of taking place under Major-Gen. KEANE. It is ge nerally understood, that- these troops form; what may be termed'. the advanced - guard of the main • army proceeding to the same destination, under Lieutenant-General Lord HILL. The regiinyHtS of the lime which are to compose the above force, • will embark - at Plymouth, where the 93d and oirei hattAion of the 9fith are waiting in perfect mull.. ness, and they will go on hoard immediately that - the ships from Portsmouth appear off that port. — The military assembled at Portsmouth, to form part of this expedition, - consist of One squadron of the 14th Light Dragoons.

Mr. Forcade, Apothecary Carter, Sc. &c. &c. • The mountain - pins to accoMpany the brigade of artillery, have been practised on b soutlisea Com mon the greater part of last week, and are found to be most admirably calculated for the service to which they arc destined. The Valiant has been detained, supposed to await Lord 1-tlLt. ; and the Zealous is expected, to sail with the Norgc, •as. well as the Dover and Alceste frigates, getting ready at Plymouth.. We noticed last week some disagreements in the 10th, or PRINCE'S Hussar Regiment.' The following is published as an extract from a letter of the Adjutant-General of the Duke of NVELLING-• TON, while the regiment was in the Peninsula, to Major-General Lord E. SOMERSET, COUVilandlOg the Hussar Brigade :—" 1 am commanded by Inv Lord WELLINGTON to take this occasion of men tioning, that the complaints against the 10th Hus sarsare so generally and so extremely discreditable to the regiment, and prejudicial to the interests of the army, that it is requisite you should imme diately adopt measures to re-establish that disci pline which is necessary to good order, but which hai.been allowed to reltrx in an unpardonable de greetmder the command of QUINTIN. Your Lordsl.iir will be so 'good to communicate to the Lieutenant-Colonel the Field-Marshal's displeasure - at having to notice irregularities it was in his power to have preVented, and that a recurrence of such breach of regulations and good order will convince his Excellency that the Lieu tenant-Colonel is unequal to the.command of a rt.. giment of the.first pretensions." The regiments of Life Guards arc no‘ . % , reduced to on establishment of fifty 'Men- per troop, and will be habituated in rotation- Id the ordinary- du ties in country quarters, from which both officers and men considered themselves to be folly exempt. Two hundred men are reported to be unit for further service in the Ist regiment of Foot Guards alone, and are to• be discharged immediately.. • •By the Report it appeals, that in the Regular Army during the year 1611, the deaths were 13,476, and the desertions 5072 ; in the Militia, deaths 977, desertions 2015..1n 1812, in the Re gular Army,. deaths 16,409, desertions 6004 ; Mi litia,deaths 990, deiertions 1;,367. In 1813, deaths, .18,015, desertions 6284; Militia, deaths 870, de sertions 1368. • We are happy to hear, that the contractors (Jr supplying meat fur the troops in Hampshire have agreed to take Gd. per pound, ►+nd the sub-con tractor 51 1 d. per pound—a very striking proof of the reduction of this Very necessary article of life. GLASGOW JAIL Wednesday tnorning, a plan fur breaking the Jail of Glasgow was attempted to be executed by the prisoners confined in the third flat of the fe lons' apartments. They had socceeded in mak ing a breach in the back wall, large enough to ef fect their purpose but some rubbish falling, at tracted the notice of the sentinel, and looking up, ho observed one of them' with his head out at the hole, apparently ready to drop down. The: sol dier immediately'threatened to fire, but the felloty, instead of withdrawing himself, politely requested lain to turn the corner, and let him escape. The sentinel, however, true to his trust, again threat. cued to fire, but the prisoner. still persisting, a • shot was fired, the bullet of . which struck the x'vall about i4ches below his head, and made quickly disappear. The J'ailor by this time being alarmed, proceeded with a party of the guard to the cell-rooms, and found the 'breach to be in a closet of the day-room of the fiat, arid appeared to have been effected by an iron .pear, ivliich haul been 'broken off one of the beds. • On a farther search, it was disco vered that the iron statmehel over the head of one of the cell-doors had b een cut with a spring SAW, and that Duncan C owan , one of the prisoners confined t‘ t ,l l: i e c r l e i ii a lt s n n t::b oe b k e e r ( y l , , a was absent. Cowan, howet"cr, was found in 'th e adjoining i ; l a i ( 1 1 )g ecvheille,nttiry doorl)cen opened of bll a false key, as the lock was not the least i!ljured. All the other prisoners were in their cells. The spring sate and a small file were the only itnplenients found, besides the 'spar of 'the bed, as stated aboxe.— These articles must have been handed to some of the risoners by their friends when visiting them. • A hole was likewise cut in the floor, for the put"- pOSC of admitting the prisoners in the second The plan appeared to have been conducted with skill, and Cowan, who is a mason, scented to be the principal actor.
