We shall subjoin an extract, in order to illustrate the nature of the work, and to justify the high , opinion which its general merits are calculated to excite.—ln justice to the Editor it should be observed, that his language is uniformly neat, unaffected, and correct, and the remarks which he occasionally intersperses shew a benevolent disposition, a philosophic spirit, and an enlarged knowledge of mankind : The caps-of the Non-Commissioned Officers and privates or the Line are to be without any badge, device, or inscription. The Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, and privates of Light Infantry Corps and Companies, and of the Rifle Bri gade, are to *Caret small bugle horn only in the front , of their caps, with the number of the Regiment on the cockade, in the case of Light Infantry Corps and Companie s , an d w i t h t h e number of the battalion in the case of the Rifle Brigade.

The Inspectors of Army Clothing are hereby enjoined to make the most minute inspection of this article of equipment, and instantly to reject any which are not found in every respect equal to the patterns. In any instance in which the caps may prove defective, and do not last the full period for which they are designed (though they may elude the vigilance and observation of the inspectors in the first instance) th e C omman d er -i n -Chi e f will hOld the Colonel responsible to prtvide a fresh supply, without any re-. ference to the time at which they may become due.

With de fiance on his brow, and blasphemy upon his lips, it is his de light to insult the weak and to calumniate the Christian Reli gion, when he can do it with impunity. Not content, there-- tore, with personally affronting the Christian merchant in_an outrageous - manner, this PerSian servant launched out into the, mostatrocious language against Christ,his Ciospel,the sign of the Cross, and other emblems_of our religion. These blasphemies roused the indignation'of the Armenian to such a degree, that, to punish the aggressor and to avenge his religion before the public, he laid nands on him, and after giving him a sound beating, left him extended on - the ground, and quickly return ed to -hi's own house. - • 120 CAPITALS!-A LL MONEY! y and J.

IT cannot be suspected that the encomiums we are about to pass on the present Lottery are dic tated by the spirit of puffing, when 'ye are auxieus to have it considered as OUR Ott N PLAN., or the kind of Scheme we have long recommended; an avowal obviously indiscreet, if we were not confident it approximates as near as possible to perfection, and combines in an unusual degree all those points which must ensure its approval.—The Prizes are all Sterling.—No Stock.—No Classes.—Every Number drawn `singly, with plenty of Capitals (treble the usual number), :none of which are fixed, Nit Floating in the Wheel, so that ALL might be drawn the First Day; and we are persuaded, though the risk of this induced Contractors to fix them for particular days, the present plan will prove more beneficial to them, as Purchasers then held back,, whereas, now, every one will purchase at the beginning, the Chance being better, and the Price lower. In short, we can conscientiously aver, there has been no Lottery, since our Office was established. so much entitled to countenance ; and we expect this revival of good old fashioned Principles will restore Lotteries to their pristine celebrity.

He took good-care to conceal from the Prince the real cause of their quarrel, and in terlarded his story ,with many false allegations against the - merchant. Abbas had too Much penetration not to perceive the means by which his Servant hoped to strengthen his corn :plaint ; -he nevertheless listened with patience tohis-whole de position, which embraced a. variety of circumstantial:details that had all the appearance of truth, but in reality were no .thing-but fictions. He then summoned before him the Arme nian merchant, and determined to examine him in full divan, and hear what lie had to say in his defence. At the same time he ordered the persons who had witnessed the affray to attend. After hearing their declaration and evidence, the Divan was convinced.that the servant had without provocation attacked the Armenian, and uttered blasphemies against the Christian religion, arid that for these Causes only the merchant had beaten the Persian. After this unanimous decision of the Divan, the Prince commanded the Christian and the Mussulman to be confined in separate prisons. " With. a view to prevent similar offences in future, to' give satisfaction, as it were, to the Christians resident in the country, and to administer justice with the sanction of those who are the guardians of the laws of Mahometan States, Abbas convened a Divan composed -of the Sheik-ul-Islam, and the principal ulemas..of the' city of T abreez , and propoSed the following ques tions, which he required them to answer in succession, accord ing to their - custom Question—Was the Lord Jesus (Hazreti-lysa) a real pro phet sent by God ?—Ansreer. - Yes. " nestiim.—Are the laws contained in his noble gosp e l (Indjili-sheryf ) just or not ? Answer. Yes, they are just. " , Question.—ls it permitted by our laws to blaspheme the Lord Jesus and his noble.gospel ?-4n.swer. No, it is unjust. " Upon these unanimous. decisions of the ulemas, called in such cases, fetva, (sentence) the Prince-royal ordered the mer chant to be set at liberty,• and his servant to be punished with one hundred strokes of the bastinado ; and he dismissed him froth his service as a warning to all who should he disposed to insult the professors of a different religion from their own. " If the pfeceding fact exhibits a laudable, relaxation of Ma hometan rigour towards those whom they regard as infidels, the foll Owing whimsical anecdote proves the Persians to be the least fanatic of -all Alussulmans.; in permitting doubts to be publicly raised among themselves against points of faith inculcated by their own religion. 4 A mollah preaching one day in amnesqiie.strongly insisted on the examination which the deceased have to undergo from, tlie. angels of death, Nehyr and Monkyr, as soon as they are deposited in the tomb. Don't believe a word of it !" cried one of the congregation,." for one of my slaves died a few days since ; I filled his mouth with rice,and on digging him llp again to-day the rice was just as I left it.. Now it is morally impos sible for a man to give answers even to angels with his mouth full." Such. an argument, brought forward in any other place than a mosque, in Turkey, would not have passed with Out answer." There is now in : the possession of Mr. JAMES WEYMISS, gamekeeper at Riddleham Hope, 'the seat of CHARLES JOHN CLAYERING, Esq. a young raven, fifteen months old, which was taken from the nest .there when very young, and brought up by the keeper with the dogs. It is now so corn.. pletely domesticated, that it will go' out 'with the keeper and the dogs, and when it takes its fli g ht further than usual, at the sound of the whistle it will return and perch. upon a tree or a wall, and' watch. all their movements. It is no uncommon thing for it to, go to the moors with_ him, and to returna distance of tenor twelve miles. He will even; enter a .village with the keeper, partake , of the same refreshments, and never leave him until he returns home. The Turks, according to these accounts, attempted to put down the rebellion by the most liberal and forgiving policy, until the Christians murdered the garrison of Corinth, and then their much-injured opponents found it necessary to sacrifice the Gre cian hostages at Napoli di Romania. Such are the tales which receive circulation from authority amongst the British Islands in the Mediterranean ; but future events will probably chew that on this occasion a few interested individuals are not only deceiving themselves, but also imposing on a part of the Bri.. tish community. Few, indeed, unless biassed by private con sideradons, would wish'that a Christian population should be reduced by a horde of barbarians, whose triumph, if obtained, would be attended only by lawless rapine, debauchery, and death ; fur the must .desperate state of w ar f are i s h eaven it se lf to flue Greeks, when compared to the cruelties • and insults to :.Which they.sauist subrnit,if cursed with a Turkish peace. The news brought by the Jamaica mail establishes the com plete consolidation of Columbia. It is, therefore, a sacred duty which the British Government owes to the country at once to acknowledge the fact, that Columbia is independent pf Spain, to interchange with her all the civilities which exist amongst • civilized nations, to send accredited agents to protect British interests, and to give the most boundless encouragement to free and unrestricted commerce between the twocountries. The ex traordiniry situation of England, at present, requires the most eftensive , and unrestricted comumnication with free' and civilized nations, to reader her pre-eminence lasting. Labour ing under an agricultural distress altogether unexampled— and with an overwhelming a nd opp ress i ve nat i ona l debt, , a free intercourse with civilized and face nations is the only- chance of obtaining living wages for her productive classes. 'Merchants ask what benefits England can procure by her connection with the Holy Alliance, which can be com pared with the advantages winch would result by giving to and taking from all parts of the world the different productions of which individually they may stand in need ? By such inter course alone can wealth be created equal, to the annual demands of the empire, and if, in place of the great efforts which Mi nisters are daily snaking in support of the present system•of Europe, they turned their attention to the rights and happiness of the great majority, supported the freedom of nations, and lent their aid to the extension of general knowledge, a society in the Christian world would be established, mutually depend ent on each other for the articles of their 'consumption, giving and taking according - to their wants, and bound together by a friendship which self interest itself would render permanent. • Letters have been received from San Blas, dated on the 10th of May, which state that his Majesty's ship Conway was to sail with specie for England on the Ist of June, and that the Marquis of Hastings was to sail about the same time for Ben gal. The Asia, Holden, from Cadiz, would sail fir China on the 12th May, and the Wellington and Rebecca on the 20th for Manilla. The Independencia, Chili= frigate, was at Lo veto about the 20th of 'April, where the English part of the crew of the Aravicano brig, of 18 guns, had mutinied, landed the officers and Chilians, and put to sea. The Devon, of Li- . verpool, sailed on the 10th April for Panama and Lima. This day there was a large public sale of East India cotton, which was partly sold and partly bought in at uncommonly de pressed prices. 8500 Bengals were chiefly bought in, notmore than 4Acl. a 5Ad. having been offered. 2800. Madras were chiefly sold, and so also were 5700 Surats at the low value of 51d. a Gd. per Ib. There was likewise a public sale of Quebec pit ashes, which sold at from 335. 6d. to 365. Gd., and one lot at 375. per cwt., and another sale of pearl ashes • went at from 445. to 475. per cwt. The same description in Liverpool and Glasgow are only worth 41s. Gd. - to 425., and rather expected cheaper than dearer. At Mark-lane tile fresh arrivals of grain are uncommonly few; occasioned by adverse winds and stormy weather. The additional supply since Monday consists only of 5,300 quarters of wheat, 1,900 quarters of barley, 1,600 quarters of oats, and 2,900 sacks of flour. The consumers expect a plentiful supply both of wheat and of barley soon, and it is not possible to effect any extensive sales of either at Monday's prices. Oats are, howevLr, is. dearer, for the first Lincolnshire arrival will not be large. The business done in the British Funds this day has not been large, for neither the Bulls nor Bears have attempted any opera tions of consequence. A great deal of business was done this morning' in the Russian Funds, and the Metallic Fives and New Loan are both dearer, with a prospect of further improvement. The Chilian Loan is rather lower, occasioned partly by the payment due on Monday next, and also by an absurd rumourthat Lima had been taken the Royalists. No letters had been received at Jamaica from Lima up to the 7th August, and hence arises its reported capture, as if the Royalists would interdict communication with 3 the British Settlements.

In .1811, the state of London was thus des cribed in the Afoniteur :—" To know the reduced situation of England, you have only to take a view of the present condi tion of her capital. The distressed merchants, constrained to' reduce the number of their draught horses, now convey their merchandise on the foot-pavement in bronettes (wheelbarrows), .so that that which used to 'be the promenade for ladies is now become as ruinous and filthy as the streets. Soon after night-fall, almost a total darkness prevails, from the inability of the inhabitants to pay the oil-tax for their lamps, which, like that on windows, or day-light, is become excessive. Scarcely a ,midnight orgie now enlivens their mansions of distinction ; even Dovershire house (probably Devonshire) no longer shines with splendour, and the sounds of the lute and harp have given way to the clangour of the watchmen's rattles, as alarms to the af frighted housekeeper to guard his property against the nocturnal acts of masked depredators. All dramatic and harmonic taste is fled. The only remaining Theatre Royal being deserted, is turned into a ?liaison de cheval (riding-house), and Mesdames Brislington (Killington) anti Catalani sing now at the Sadler's Wells—the chief resort of entertainment for sailors and the common handicraftsmen of the day !" , NEWPOitT, ISLE OF WIGHT.—On Monday iast tvas cut from a vine -tree, in a garden belonging to Joirg ;II °out, Esq., a bunch of grapes weighing three pounds eleven ounces,—allowed by all those that saw it to be the largest ever seen. LONGEVITY IN CIIESTER.—There are now liv ing in each of the nine parishes of this city, four aged persons, receiving parochial relief l whose ages amount to two thousand nine hundred and sixty-four years this may be verified by re ferring to the last year's report of the House of Industry.= They stand in the following order :—Holy Trinity, four per sons 350—St. Mary's, ditto, 246—St. John's ditto, 337—S t .
