Though from l oca l c i rcu m s tances the ties which con• nected me for so many years with the eastern part of our opulent county must now be partially dissolved, I hope my Friends in that quarter will believe I shall ever remem• ber with gratitude the kind and zealous support they have afforded me upon every occasion ; and though I may cease to be their R..presentative, I shall ever continue their sin cere and attached Friend. My public life has been so long before you, and my political principles so well known, I trust any professions on my part would be superfluous. If it is your pleasure to honour me with your confidence for the sixth time, you may depend upon my best attention to your local interests (whether agricultural or commer cial) ; and that I shall remain to my latest hour the steady friend of civil and religious liberty, of conciliation abroad. of retrenchment at home, and of every measure which can increase our resources, or confirm the stability of our un- rivalled constitution. • 4 .4 , 2 04, 751' i ; y CV ) *E" ..

There was no reason to suppose that the two elder Wyches and Brown hill bad contemplated any serious violence when they first set out, for Brownhill was heard persuad ing the rest to wait till morning, as he said he knew both the man and his master, and would complain the next morning; and old Wych said, they might as well go and hear what he had to say, and fetch law against him next morning. After the scuffle in the house, one of the party was beard to say, " I would rather do as I have done than do it by law." Young Wych was also seen leaning against a wall, near the house, with an open knife in his hand, and upon being asked " what was to do," he answered, " Parkinson has punched me for nothing, and I have marked him." The elder Wych said " Thou shouldst not have drawn thy knife, as I have given him enough." Young Wych replied, " I have marked him, and will do it again if I can find him." Upon this evidence Mr. Justice PARKE was of opinion that there was no case against Peter Wyci the elder and Brownhill, and therefore did not call upon them for a defence. _ _ WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WELLs, Auc. 17.

" Life is only lif e w h en bl est w i t h h ea l t h . " T HE finest System of Ethics is to confine within due bounds, and thus to regnlate the Pas sions; unrestrained, and insubordinate, they impetuously destroy those barriers which Religion and Morality have made sacred ; to curb but not annihilate them, appears the lesson of prudence, best calculated to limit their efferves cence. Every disorganization of the human frame requires great medical knowledge to remedy, and the public wel faie is promoted whe❑ professional men (disregarding the suggestions of the envious and interested) devote their studies to the treatment of those complaints generated by imprudence, and the ebullition of the passions at an un guarded moment. " The strength of a nation consists in the health of the people ;" but, it is melancholy to reflect on the daily sacrifice to the ignorance of unfeeling empy ricism ; and to counteract, as far as possible, its further ravages, we offer to suffering humanity the result of our own experience in the various diseases of Debility. The unwary victim of solitary vice (early acquired at school, before reason has asserted her right over the mind), will, in contemplating his powerless state, become susceptible of enlivening sensations, in knowing that the moat coin plicated state of exhaustion may be roused into manly energy. Intense study—immoderate anxiety—long resi dence in tropical climes, and many other causes, will fre quently derange the Nervous System ; in such cases we can hold out an assurance of re-animation, by a treatment which has long answered the sanguine hopes of Patients of both sexes. That bane to human happiness, SYPHYLIS, can now be treated fearlessly, the improved state of Medical Sci ence having divested its antidote of those distressing pro perties that so long rendered its exhibition uncertain and harassing. Some peculiarities incidental to the softer sex have not escaped our attention ; in which mildness, combined with efficacy, has superseded the means usually adopted. In fine, our system is unique, peculiarly ener getic, and eminently successful. Educated.in London, schooled in our professional at tainments by its splendid medical characters, and having been able, personally, to compare with admiration the British Surgical practice with the Continental, our pre tensions to superiority (in a branch we have selected) are matured by experience, which is evinced by the daily ap plications we receive, even from distant countries. Daily attendance is given for personal consultation : and letters from the country are immediately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicines, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant.

Elizabeth Spurlock, daughter of prisoner—Ott Friday, the 10th of August, I was at home at Lang. ford, in the parish of Churchill. My father and mother were at home. My father asked me to fetch down his sinall-clothes. I went up and brought them down. My father said, " Maria, you have not mended my breeches." She said, " No, I have not mended them." He said, " You dre so d—d lazy, you'll do nothing for me." She said nothing, but rose up and went out of the room. She came back, and I met her at the door with a knife in her hand, which was used by my father in his business as a butcher. I asked her what she was going at with the knife; she immediately struck me across the forehead with it, which occasioned the wound for which my head is now tied up. My sister Mary was by. My father caught hold of me, upon which my mother struck him with the knife on the left side. I did not see her strike him more than once. I went to the door and cried murder. Frederick Roe came and took the knife out of her hand. My father and mother were clasping each other. They went out into the garden together, entangled one in the other. My father said to Roe, "Oh Fred, she is trying to kill me." The family consists of seven children, five of whom were living at home. Cross-examined—There are two children (a boy and a girl) older than me. My mother was out of the room two or three minutes before she returned with the knife. About four years ago she had twins, after which she was very ill, and Mr. James attended her. Mr. Hurditch attended her about two years ago. About three years ago she cut the vein of her band off, intending to bleed herself to death, and she was then attended by a medical man of Bristol. She has tried a great many times to commit suicide, in consequence of which we used to put the knives out of her way. About two years ago she attempted to cut her throat, and I took the knife from her. She has some young children now. She was a very good mother before she got in this low state. I have seen her try to strike the little children on the head with a brush. About a month ago she tried to injure herself with a knife. Her mind and manners have altered since she had the twins. She complained almost con stantly of confusion in her head. On the morning of this Friday she appeared very strange. Mary Spurlock, daughter of prisoner—This wit ness gave similar testimony to h , r sister. Cross-examined—iNly father has used the expres sion, "My poor wife is crazy." She tried to cut her head off about a mouth ago. She got into a pool once, to drown herself, about half a year ago. Her sister got her out. Before her confinement she was very kind to the little children. Frederick Roe.—l live near Spurlock's; I heard some screaming and crying ; I went out, and saw Spurlock and his wife clasped together. She had a knife in her hand ; he had got her round the waist with one hand, arid her wrist in the other. I took the knife out of her hand, and parted them : she went out into the street. He walked two or three steps inside the door, and fell down. I took him by the arm, and helped him into a chair; blood was coming from his right side. She came in again. Before he died, he said she had been trying to kill him. She said, "am I not to stand in my own de fence ?" He died in three minutes after he was put in the chair. After he died, she knelt down and said, " have I murdered ray dear George Spur lock ?" She was put out of the door. Cross-examined.—She cried very loudly, and seemed quite frantic. Thomas James, surgeon, of Wrinton—l was called in on Friday, the 10th of August, to George Spurlock. He was dead. I saw prisoner after wards ; she was in a very violent distracted state. I had attended her four years ago for a fortnight. She was very ill, and in a very nervous agitated state, which was likely to affect her mind. It was a state which frequently precedes insanity. This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner did not say any thing in her defence. Mr. Justice TAUNTON summed up the case. No man could entertain any doubt but this unfortunate man had come to his death through the means of the prisoner, and he thought it was as perfectly clear, from the evidence which had been adduced respecting her state of mind, that at the time the dreadful act took place she was riot of sound mind. The Jury must acquit the prisoner, at the same time stating that it was on the ground of insanity. The Jury immediately adopted this course, and she was ordered to be detained until his Majesty's pleasure was known. The prisoner was a respectable-looking woman, and was very decently dressed in mourning. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—LANcisrEn, AuG. 17. MURDER. Peter Wyeh the elder, Samuel Wych, Peter Wych the younger, and Anthony Brownhill, were charged by the Coroner's inquisition with the wilful murder of John Parkinson, at Eccles, on the 14th June last. On th e 13 t h June last the three prisoners named Vi , ych, who were wheelwrights, had been working at a cart for the other prisone r , Anthony Brownhiil, who is a farm er , li v i ng at a village called Swinton. After the cart was completed, the whole parry repaired to a public-house called the Red Lion, to have a merry making upon the occasion. There was a milk-boy of Brownhill's present, who got very intoxicated, and the prisoner Peter Wych the younger was de sired to see him home. Accordingly Wych left the public-house in company with the boy. When they had proceeded about 200 yards they fell in with Jnhn Parkinson, the deceased. Parkinson was a s; rvant, in the employ of a farmer of the name of White, who lives in the neighbourhood; and just before Wych and the boy approached, he had been insulted by a party of men and boys, who had called him by a nickname, and otherwise provoked him.— The men had gone in the direction of the 'White Lion, and when Parkinson saw young Wych and the other boy approach, he supposed that they were of the parry by whom he had before been annoyed. Parkinson said to Wych, " Is it thee that's been calling me names?" Wych said, " No." Parkin son rejoined, " Thou liest, it was thee ;" and then seizing Wych, threw him upon the ground, and beat and kicked him with great severity. When Wych got up, Parkinson again attacked him, arid kicked and ill-treated him in a very cruel mariner. Parkin son was a tall large-boned young man, six feet in height. Young Wych was a boy of only 15 years of age. Parkinson was at length prevailed upon to desist, and Wych got up and rested his head upon a post, whilst he supported his sides with his hands, and groaned very much. He said, " he had a father and a brother at the White Lion, and he would go to them, and see if he was to be abused in that way;" and be went towards the White Lion. It was proved that soon afterwards young Wych entered the White L;on, sobbing and crying, and complained that he had been ill-treated by a man whom he did not know, but whose nickname was " Old Ross." Old Wych said he would go and find him, and if he found him he would give it him. The whole of the prisoners then went away together, and returned in about an hour, when old Wych said " he had given him what would stick by him." Parkinson was found in the morning lying quite dead, about 20 yards from the back door of Mrs. White's house. Upon examination, it was ascer- Samuel Wych merely said he was not guilty, and Peter Wych the younger put in a written state ment, in which he admitted he bad given the de ceased a blow with his knife, but stated he had done so in self-defence, for that when they were in the . back kitchen together, Parkinson had seized him, bent him down, and placed his knee upon him. It was then that, thinking his life in danger, he drew his knife, and inflicted the wound that had been so fatal, and the consequence of which he sin cerely lamented. Several witnesses give the prisoners a good cha racter. The Jury found Peter Wych the younger guilty of " Manslaughter," and acquitted the other prisoner. Mr. Justice PARKE sentenced the prisoner to transportation for life. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. One Mary Ann Lloyd applied at the Mansion house for advice in what manner to obtain the in terest upon a number of Poyais Bonds, for which she said she had given 1501., if not the principal along with it. She stated, that she had been in duced to purchase the bonds in consequence of some grossly exaggerated accounts of their value, and that she was completely beggared by the speculation, and was persecuted for the payment of debts to the amount of 151., which, on account of the dangerous experiment, she was wholly unable to discharge. Mr. Hobler (the Lord Mayor not being present) asked Miss Lloyd how it happened that she could think of purchasing shares in any Company with her last penny ? She declared that the representations made to her were of so flattering a nature, that there was no pos sibility of resisting them, and she perceived, too, that some persons who had, when they first became attached to the concern, been in a very dismal plight, with scarcely a shoe or stocking upon them, were greatly altered for the better, with watches in their fobs, and rings upon their fingers. She was led to suppose that the bonds she was possessed of would, therefore, make her comfortable, instead of which not one farthing of the seven or eight years' interest due upon them was now to be had. Mr. Hobler observed that, without meaning to disparage such a concern as that of Poyaia, which had some years ago made so great a noise, it was a part of the system of the Company-makers to make a show of finery, as if the speculators produced them all ready-made from remote parts of the world. Miss Lloyd had placed her papers in the hands of a Proctor at Doctors' Commons, who wrote to the managers of the Company, but received an answer denying the validity of the claim. New shares were continually issuing, and the whole of the proceedings were wholly unintel ligible to her; but she hoped that Sir George M'Gregur, whose name appeared to be the leading one on the Scrip she possessed, would consider her hard case at the suggestion of the Lord Mayor. Mr. Hobler said that the Lord Mayor could yield no relief in such a case, and that the lady must seek for satisfaction through the uncertain and ex pensive process of a Court of Law. 2_ Archdeacon of Derby, Head Master of Shrewsbury School, &c.

This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of Children, when thought past re covery, from Convulsions arising from painful d , ntition. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed en the Gums the Child will be relieved, the Gums cooled, and the inflammation reduced. It is as innocent as efficacious, tending to produce the Teeth with ease ; and so pleasant, that no Child will re fuse to let its Gums he rubbed with it. When Infants are at the age of four months, the Syrup should be rubbed on the Gums ; and Parents should never lie without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young Children; for if a Child wakes in the night with pains in the Gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &c. The great success of this Medi cine (luring the last Twenty-five Years has induced un principled persons to imitate it, under the name of Ameri can Soothing Syrup, and copying parts of Mrs. Johnson's Bills, &c. Parents will, therefore, he very particular to ask for JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP, and to notice that th' Nantes of Barclay and Sons, 95, Farringdon-street, London (to whom Mrs. Johnson has sold the recipe), is on the Stamp affixed to each Bottle. HATT ON- GARDEN. Henry Gilniore, a lad about 19 years of age, was charged with having maliciously stabbed James Cotehind, with intent to murder him. The prosecutor, who was unable to stand, was allowed a .chair during his examination, and with great difficulty he delivered the following evidence : " I am apprentice to Mr. Sparray, butcher, No. 17, Lower Rosoman-street, Clerkenwell,and the prisoner was a jobbing servant in Mr. Sparray's employ. On the 17th of July, about half-past five o'clock, I was in my master's shop with the prisoner. He called me a liar;' I told him, ' If you call me a liar again I will strike you. He repeated the term, and I struck him. He called me a a liar' a third and fourth time, on which I knocked him down. He seized a slaughter knife, and plunged it into my side above the hip. I was then carried to the station house on a shutter." Thomas Connell was passing the shop at the time of the quarrel, and heard the prosecutor say, " You called me a liar, did you ?" The prisoner re plied, " Yes, you are a - liar," and the prose cutor struck him. Immediately after the prisoner looked round, and, seizing a large butrher's knife, stabbed the prosecutor in the side. Witness called the police, and gave the prisoner into custody. Thomas Chadwick, a policeman, heard the cry of " murder rand on proceeding to Mr. Spariay's shop he saw the prosecutor bleeding, and tile prisoner sa id, " I am the man who did the deed, and I am sorry for it." Witness took him into custody. Mr. Henry Rawes Whittell, a surgeon, proceeded to the station-house, and examined the wound. The prosecutor was exceeding faint from loss of blood. On being undressed, a large flow of blood issued from the wound, which was between the hip joint and the crest, or the upper part of the hip. The wound was two inches and a quarter in width, and had passed in two directions. The depth of the wound varied from five to seven inches, and the knife passed through the muscles down to the bone, and divided several of the large vessels. The ap pearances at the time were highly dangerous, and if another flow of blood had taken place the prosecutor would have lost his life. Witness had paid every atten tion to the man, and the wound was nearly healed. The magistrates complimented this witness highly fur the humanity and skill that he voluntarily offered the prosecutor. The prisoner being called on for his defence, coolly sa►d, " I did it in my own defence, and I am very sorry for it."—He was then fully committed. Q UEEN-S Q UARE. Felix Webb, one of the toll-keepers at the Brent ford turnpike, in the employ of Mr. Levy, the lessee of the gate, was summoned for reftising to let Mr. George Philip La Plume, one of the King's Mes sengers, pass through the gate without payment of toll. On Sunday, the 12th of August, he was sent from the Admiralty with despatches to his Majesty at Windsor; and at the Brentford gate the defendant refused to let him pass through without paying the toll, which was 6d., and he was compelled to pay the money. He contended that all King's MeE sengers, when on duty, were exempt from the pay ment of any turnpike tolls. Mr. Levy, jun., who attended on behalf of his servant, said it was quite a mistaken notion. The words of the Act were, " That no tolls shall be de manded or taken by virtue of this Act, or any other Act of Parliament, on any turnpike-road, for any horses or carriages attending his Majesty or any of the Royal Family, or returning therefrom." He contended there was nothing in this clause that could exempt King's Messengers bearing despatches. Mr. GREGORIE said that a few weeks ago he had decided that they were exempt, but on more mature consideration he had altered his opinion, and he was not ashamed to own it. He considered the King's Messengers at the Admiralty just as liable to the toll as the Messengers belonging to the Police-of fice, if they were sent on any business by the Ma gstrates. The case must, therefore, be dismissed. Mr. WHITE perfectly coincided in this decision. Mr. William Taylor, a King's Messenger, of No. 6, Queen-street, Westminster, now appeared to answer a summons obtained against him by Mr. Levy, for refusing to pay George Lynn, the toll collector at Kensington -gate, the sum of threepence for passing through. The defendant did not deny the facts, but con tended at great length that he was not liable to the toll when travelling on duty. Mr. GREGORIE said he felt it his duty to convict, and wished him to appeal to the sessions. The defendant declined appealing, and was fined 40s. and costs. Mr. La Plume, the King's Messenger, who was the complainant in the first case, was also fined 403. and costs, for not paying the toll to George Lynn, the collector at the Kensington-gate. Mr. Levy, jun., would not enforce the payment of the penalty; he only brought the case forward to iry the question. Mr. Levy directed his men for the future, if any of the Messengers attempted to pass through and evade the toll, to seize the horse and take it to the green•yard. MARLB OR 0 UGH. STREET. Lord Charles Churchill, on Saturday, summoned the driver of cabriolet No. 74, before Mr. DYER, the sitting Magistrate, for taking more than his legal fare. Lord Churchill would be satisfied if the driver made an apology, and promised to be more exact in his charges in future. The driver accordingly complied with this liberal offer, and the summons was dismissed. THE DEPREDATIONS IN THE EGYPTIAN HALL. —The coins, medal:, &c., produced on the exami nation of Angelo Pkillipe, were not purchased by Mr. Till, as stated in the report. The transactioni of Mr. Till with the prisoner were confined to the purchase of the bronze antiques and pottery. LAMBETH• STREET. The overseers of St. George's-in-the-East, and St. John's Wapping, attended to hear the decision of the Magistrates as to which parish should support the illegitimate child, of which the mother, Lucy Akines, had stared that she was del.vered in a hack ney-coach, opposite the London-dock gates, on her way from the Borough to Old Gravel-lane, St. George's-in-the-East. Mr. George Wilson, overseer of Wapping, se verely cross-examined the girl, but she still persisted in her former story. After hearing evidence opposed to the statement of the girl, the Magistrates were of opinion that her story was correct in the main, and decided that the child belonged to the parish of Wapping. THE LATE Duc DE REICHSTADT.—(Post mortem report.)—The body of the deceased Due DE REICHSTADT was examined by the physicians on the 25th July, at the Palace of Schcenbrun. The following are the chief remarkable appearances which presented them selves at the examination :—The external surface of the body was marked by livid patches, resulting from the nu merous bites of the leeches which were applied. The skin on the chest and the surface of the scalp was in a state of vesication, in consequence of the use, shortly he fore death, of the tartar emetic ointment, and on each arm were the marks of blistering plasters. On opening the skull, the physicians found the dura mater unusually thickened, and adhering to the arachnoid by strong fib rous bands: the pia mater was exceedingly vascular, and the substance of the hemispheres appeared as though they had been compressed. In the left ventricle a consider able quantity of fluid was found, and, after removing the brain with the cerebellum, there were at least two ounces of fluid found in the foss of the cranium. The most remarkable appearances were those in the cavity of the thorax. The right lung was adherent to the lining of the ribs, and was converted into a mass of tubercles car cinomatous in their nature, and yielding a fluid of an ex tremely fetid odour. At the superior part of the left lung was observed a tubercle in the stage of suppuration ; the remaining portion was healthy. The thymus gland was considerably larger than it is almost ever found in persons of the age of the Duke, and was converted into a hard state, resembling cartilage. The internal surface of the larynx was corroded in some parts. The liver was found enlarged, but in other respects was in its natural condi tion; the gall bladder was unusually small, the pancreas healthy, but the spleen unusually large and soft. The stomach was remarkably small, but in a natural state. The mesenteric glands were much larger and more granu lated than usual. No other remarkable appearance was observed in the abdominal or pelvic cavities, except that the left kidney was larger than it is generally found to be in such subjects.—French Paper. ANECDOTE OF DR. ADAM CLARKE.—The following singular narrative was given by Dr. CLARKE at the conclusion of a sermon recently preached by him on behalf of the Royal Humane Society, and is extracted from the Wealey.n Preacher, in which the whole is accurately reported :—" I was a fearless lad, and I went to the shore of a fine river that pours itself into the Irish Sea, riding a mare of my father's. I was determined to have a swim. I rode the mare, and we swam on till we got beyond the breakers entirely ; but when we had got over swell after swell, and were proceeding still onward to the ocean, the mare and myself were swamped in a mo• ment ! I was soon disengaged from the mare; and, as I afterwards found, she naturally turned, got ashore, and went plodding her way back home. In a moment I seemed to have all my former views and ideas entirely changed, and I had a sensation of the most complete happiness or felicity that it is possible, independent of rapture for the human mind to feel. I had felt no pain from the moment I was submerged, and at once a kind of representation, nearly of a green co. lour, presented itself to me; multitudes of objects Were in it, net one of them, however, possessing any kind of likeness or analogy to any thing I had seen before. In this state, how long I continued, lie only knows who saved my life; but so long did I continue in it, till one wave after another—for the tide was coming in—rolled me to the shore. There was no Royal Humane Society at hand ; I believe the place is not blessed with one of them to the present day. The first sensation, when I carne to life, was as if a spear had been tun through my heart. I felt this sensation in getting the very first draught of fresh air, when the lungs were infi tted merely by the pressure of the atmosphere. I found myself sitting in the water, and it was by a swelling wave that I was put out of the way of being overwhelmed by any of the succeeding waves. After a little time I was capable of sitting up; the intense pain at toy heart, however, still continued ; but I had felt no pain from the moment I was submerged till the time when my h ea d was b roug h t above w a ter, and the air once more entered my lungs. I saw tie mare had passed slang the shore at a consider able distance, not as if afraid of danger, but walking quite leisurely. How long I was submerged it would be impossible precisely to say, but it was sufficiently long, ac cording to my apprehensions and any skill I now have in physiology, to have been completely dead, and never more to breathe in this world, had it not been for that Provi dence which, as it were, once more breathed into my nostrils and lungs the breath of this animal life, and I became once more a living soul ; and at the space of threescore years, you have this strange phenomenon before you—the Preacher before the Royal Human. Society." " Herschel is between forty and flfti''years of age ; and his life has been of a chequered nature. He was born in Hanover. I believe his father was a musician. He entered the Hanoverian service, as a flute player—became disgusted with the army—deserted—and came over to England. Some nobleman engaged him to form a band. He afterwards became a music-master, and an organist ; but his love for astronomy was so powerful, that he found means, when not oc cupied in his profession, to bring reflecting teles copes to perfection. He is now engaged in preparing one that will be forty feet in length. It will occupy him three or four years in com - pleting. " Herschel received us with great kindness— talked to us upon astronomical subjects—and assured us that, within these few months, he had made the discovery of a volcanic mountain in r. the moon. He tells us that the milky way is certainly composed of nebulous stars, rnd that they consist of several thousands. He is al lowed a pension by Government. His anxieties and miseries are now at an end ; and the re mainder of his life he intends to devote to astro nomical pursuits. In his studio, he has written, over the mantel-piece, the inscription of Gil Blas:—' Spes et fortuna valete, sat me lusistis, halite nunc WINDSOR CASTLE. Speaking of Windsor Castle, as it was fifty years ago, Mirabeau says : " We arrived at Windsor, and proceeded im mediately to visit the celebrated terrace, eighteen hundred feet in length. The view from it is the richest and most extensive I ever beheld. ' Here in full light the russet plains extend.' " But the sublimity of the spectacle it is said to present, has been much exaggerated. Descrip tions generally lead one into error ; and there fore I avoid them in my letters to you—merely a few sketches—your brilliant fancy is more likely to complete the tableau. " Now, this superb and boasted landscape is neither so majestic as the Alpine scenery of Switzerland;—neither so cheerful, nor so ro mantic, as the winding banks of the Thames ; nor of such Arcadian loveliness, as the enchant ing valley of Richmond. Too extensive a view is like unlimited power, it never can belong to any body ; it fatigues the imagination without satisfying the mind. " The castle itself is fine, only because it vastly great, and venerably antique. You are aware that William the Conqueror laid the foun dations of this mighty edifice, upon.which you cannot fail to observe the marks of chivalry and feudality. In no part of Europe have so many feudal customs been retained as in this country ; nor in any other where their forms have blended themselves with a system of liberty. It is from ancient decorations that the splendour and ma jesty of the throne are composed. But this splendour, this majesty, which constitute the preservation and respect of public power, are always in favour of the laws, and never against them. " The interior of the castle is far from being magnificent. The furniture is old, worn out, and in the very worst taste. But here are the seven celebrated Cartoons of Raphael. These sublime sketches, although merely painted in water-colours, upon paper, are in a high state of preservation. The conception of the painter appears in all its freshness, in all its energy, in all its purity. Were I a painter, it would be at the foot of such chcfs-dceuvres that my studies should commence. It is there that the imagi nation would best learn either to increase or mo derate the fires of genius. There, too, talent will grasp all the mysteries, all the resources of art. " The Cartoon representing Paul preaching to the Athenians, is that which struck me most forcibly; What a brilliant conception—what an ensemble—what a variety in its composition There are not two figures alike with regard to attitude, look, or manner : all are in perfect keeping ; not one but possesses all that nature or dignity could bestow. " After these magnificent paintings, which we could not sufficiently admire, you will easily perceive that we did not observe many things in the other galleries worthy of attention. How ever, we stopped to look at some of the beauties of the reign of Charles ll.—some superb Van dykes, a portrait of Henry VIII., by Holbein, frightfully true to nature—a few paintings by Genario, none of whose compositions I had ever seen before. They must he very scarce, and are not without considerable merit. FATAL CONSEQUENCES OF BIRD-NESTING. —On Friday, about balf•past twelve, Criant.xs Ont.soN, aged 14, the son of a respectable broker, in St. I - -fen's, while passing through Alderman's-walk, Bishopsgate street, in company with another young gentleman, proposed getting a bird's nest, which he fancied he saw. He climbed up one of the highest trees, and on nearly reaching the top (after having thrown the nest down to his companion), a branch broke, and the unhappy youth was precipitated with great velocity on the stones. By the prompt exertions of Mr, FitAsal, whose countiru house back door communicatei with Alderman's-walk, the youth was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he , died in four hours. The blood gushed dreadfully from his eyes, nose, and ears. - - Thursday morning, a middle-aged person, somewhat corpulent, and repectably attired in a rlack coat and waistcoat, worsted-cord smallelothes, drab gaiters, and a hat encircled by crape, was discovered lying in a ditch (contuining very little water) by the road a de, in the parish of Islip, in this county, quite deal. There was s nue silver in one of his pockets, and the body exhibited no marks of violence. A labourer, who found the body, was assisted in lifting it from the ditch by some passengers who allighted from a coach which was passing at the time. The unfortunate man appeared to have been dead a very short time ; he was an utter stranger, and nothing was found upon his person which afforded the least clue to his identity.—Northampton Mercury. A Ct./mous FACT.—Salmon, it is well known, is sent to the southern markets, packed in boxes half full ef ice, and not unfrequently the owner defrays the whole expenses of his freigLt by disposing of the ice to confec tioners and others, at the termination of his passage. In one of our fishings, however, the produce has la'ely been so abundant, that the stock of ice prepared during winter was exhausted, and the wits of the fishermen were set to work to devise some mode of supplying a deficiency which rarely occurs in northern latitudes. After pondering and piusing for some time, the men bethought themselves of an expedient at once novel and effective—they resolved to scale the heights of Ben Navie, and to rifle. this monarch of British mountains of the solid bar-like masses of snow which have slumbered for centuries in his hidden, unex plored recesses and ravines. The result has be, n highly successful; the snow lay in great quantities, Congealed and hard a+ ice, arid men were employed all last week in digging and conveying these icy stores to the plain. It is no easy task to transport so heavy and slippery a commo dity down a rugged declivity of remye 4,00 i) eet ; but with the ail of sure-footed High an I ponies. the task t,as been safely accomplished—thus furnis ., ing more in stance of the progress of luxury in Great Iritain.—.L,- vernes9 Courier.
