It is said in the fashionable circles, that a treaty of marriage is on the tapis between Philip Pusey, ESq. eldest son of the Hon. Philip Pusey, and Lasly Herbert, daughter of the Earl of Car narvon. A letter from Frankfort says that the marriage of the Prince Royal of Sweden, with the daughter of the Duke of Leuchten berg, is resolved upon, btit that, as the Princess is only fifteen years of age, it will be deferred till next year. It seems that the difrerence of religion will not be an obstacle, and that the Princess will retain hers. She will bring Prince °Scar a dowry of a million of francs, which was given to her by Buonaliarte at her birth as Princess of Bologna. ie_ .)

HERSCHEL. [Prom The. Percy Anecdotes.] Dr. ITEltscliEL, the celebrated astronomer, was originally brought up to his father's profession that of a mu sician, and accompanied a German Regiment to England, as one of the band, performing on the hautboy. While acting in this humble capacity in the North of England, a new organ was built for the parish church of Halifax, by Snetzler, which was opened with an oratorio by the well-known Joah Bates. Mr. Herschel, and six other persons, became can didates for the organist's situation. A day was fixed on which each was to perform in rotation ; when Mr. Wainwright, of Manchester, played, his finger was so rapid that old Snetzler, the organ-builder, ran about the church, exclaiming, " He run over de key like one cat ; he will not give my pipes time to speak." During Mr. Wainwright's performance, Dr. Miller, the friend of Herschel, inquired of 'him what chance he had of following him ? " 1 don't know," said Herschel, " but lam sure fingers will not do." When it came to his turn Her schel ascended the organ loft, and produced so uncommon a richness, such a volume of slow harmony, as astonish ed all present ; and after this extemporaneous effiision he finish ed with the old hundredth Psalm, which he played better than his opponent. " Aye, aye," cries old Snetzler, 'fish is very " goot, very goot inteet ; I willluf tis man, he gives my pipes room for to speak:" Herschel being asked by what means he produced so astonishing an effect, replied, " I told you fingers would not do ;" and producing two pieces of lead from his waist coat pocket, Said, " One of these I laid on the lowest key of the organ, and the other upon the octave • above ; and thus by accommodating the harmony, I produced the effect of four hands instead of two." This superiority of skill obtained Herschel the situation ; but he had other and higher obj eets view, to suffer him long to retain it. It has long been known and admitted, that his MAJESTY. King George the Fourth bows with unrivalled ele gance and grace. In passing and bowing to the myriads who assembled on all occasions during his Majesty's late visit to his Metropolis in Scot/and; every individual felt that his" Ma jesty's bow was particularly directed towards him. This delu sion, the effect of his Majetty's graceful manner, operated in a greater degree, perhaps, on the worthy citizens of Dundee, than on any others of his Majesty's subjects. " His Majesty bowed to me," says one: " but I was huAzaing very loudly—" and gaping wide," said'a wag. ," his Majesty bowed particularly to me,' says another. -" But I was standing in a conspicuous plaee.". " Your figure, too, must necessarily have attracted his Majesty's. attention, ' said a bystander. In short every citizen of Dun- I dee who went to Edinburgh on this occasion had a special bow from his Majesty. - 1 A, worthy brother of the maltmen had placed himself in a crowd ou a high wall flanking the road along which his Majesty had to pass from Dalkeith to Holyrood house. In bowing, his Majesty's eye operated as a gunshot to the astounded maltman : " God bless me, he Surely kens me!" and he instantly fell backwards from the top of the wall to the ground, a height of 10 feet.—(Dundee Advertiser.) In the course of 'Wednesday evening the coril, pany at Dalkeith. House were enlivened by twelve Highlanders,. who danced strathspeys and reels to the bagpipes, with which his MAJESTY appeared highly delighted. Atholl brose 'was introduced, when Sir WALTER. SCOTT drank to the " Chief of the Clans, the KING," which he explained to the High- , landers. His MAJESTY then drank to them emphatically— " May God bless you all,". and directed them to retire and en joy themselves—a mandate which they readilly obeyed. Some days ago, in imitation of the practice of Universities in ancient times, a -progranime was affixed to the gates of the College of Edinburgh, offering a medal, non pretii sed itonaris causa, to the author of the best congratulatory po em, either in the Greek or Latin Language, on the King's visit to Edinburgh; that medal has been awarded to Mr. THOMAS HINGSTON, one of the medical students in the University of Edinburgh.—(Edinburgh Paper.) During the Procession to the Calton-hill to lay the foUndation stone of the National Monument, it was remarked that no small sensation was produced by the various emblema tical insignia borne ,by the different lodges, and in particular by the Stirling Ancient Lodge, whose Tiler, a little man, dressed in the garb of Old Gaul, carried a double-handed sword of great magnitude and length. It will be gratifying to our readers to learn, that this ponderous weapon was actually found in the field of Bannockburn about a century ago, and has been preserved as a precious relict by this very ancient Lodge, whose original charter was granted by King. David of pious memory. Scotch, Paper.) POETRY. CONSOLATION. To • • • ■ • it, • • • • • *. There is a joy, bright as the Morning Star Which shall appear when Judgment comes on Man *, That will console amid the woes of life; When the poor heart which was surciarg'd with grief, Has vented all those feelings nature gave, And 'mid the tearful glist'ning of the eyes, The World a sick'ning, cheerless waste appear'd ; Where overthrown lay scattered o'er its plain, All the fond hopes and plans which Life had form'd. There is a joy which will dispel this gloom, And pour its consolation from on High 'Twill gleam like rays of sunshine in a storm, And yield the prospect of 'a happier scene. There is a joy, and such the CHRISTIAN' feels, Beyond the'earthly pow'rs of man to raise, That glorious Hope, which can alone be felt, Where the true Earnest of The Spirit glows ; Which bids us look above this anxious sphere, And long for immortality in Heaven : 'Tis then, we view those whom in life we lov'd, And for their past career, revere in death; Rejoicing in the Bosom of their God. * Rev. 22. c. 16. v.

The game 'was abundant, strong upon the wing, and the late rains made the scent good. Each shot to a. single brace of pointers, and killed as follows : Mr. .TENxiws bagged eleven brace of partridges, six hares, and four leverets, thirty-two head in forty-one shots. Mr. HARRISON killed nine brace of partridges, seven hares, and three leverets, making twenty-eight in thirty-seven shots Both, men and dogs were completely knocked up. MONSIEUR ALEXANDRE♦--We understand that this surprising performer exerted his talents last week before the Duchess of KENT, and a large party, at her Royal Highness's residence at Ramsgate. The Duchess was so much gratified with his performance that she afterwards conde scended to testify her sense of his extraordinary powers, in a book which contains similar attesta tions from the most distinguished persons of France, and in this country. A wit having lost the election to a fellowship at College, which was gained by a candi date of very inferior desert,—" Well," said. he, " POPE is right—' Worth makes the man; the want of it the Fellow.' " Various speculations are afloat, as to the pro bable successor of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. It was last week reported, that Mr. PEEL would take the Foreign Department, and be succeeded by Lord COLCHESTER in the Home Office; but it is not probable that any thing will be deeided upon till his MAJESTY'S return to London. It is most likely, that, whoever may be the Fo reign Secretary of State, the management of the public business in the House of Commons will devolve upon Mr. P EEL . Faction has been busy in making efforts to depreciate this gentleman's abilities ; but any impartial observer of his con duct in the last session of Parliament must be convinced, that he unites great talents with a real English feeling and strict integrity. His speeches have been eminently distinguished for a straight forward honesty—a manliness and candour, the more engaging as they are rare—together with the most intimate acquaintance with the subject in debate. It may be ,difficult to find a man , so peculiarly gifted for the difficult task of leader in the House of Commons, as the late Marquis of LONDONDERRY ; but we are of opi nion that Mr. PEEL will reflect no disgrace upon his predecessor, should that office be allotted to 4 him.—(Leeds Intelligences.) .

Elfee, lying at the bottom of what was formerly the river Rother; just below where the river Ex den falls into that ancient Channel. A. new river having been formed, the Rother left its original bed to the smaller stream Of Exden, which, in some measure, accounts for the great accumulation of earth, sea-sand, &c. &c. in which the vessel was imbedded: Mr. Elfee, soon after his discovery of the vessel, in the true spirit of antiquarian research, resolved, if possible, on getting her up, and accordingly employed a great number of labourers for, that purpose.. They succeeded to the wishes of their employer, who, on her exposure, was surprised to find her much larger than he expected ; her di mensions being, from head to stem, 63 feet ; and her width 14 feet; with cabin and forecastle. Mr. Elfee is of opinion that she is a Danish-built vessel, and that she had been in the situation he discovered her in bet Ween eight and nine hundred years. In the cabin and other parts of the vessel were found a human skull, a pair of goat's horns attached to a part of the cranium ; a dirk or poiniard, abut half an inch of the blade of • which had wholly resisted corrosion; several glazed and ornamented tiles of a square form, some bricks which had formed the fire-hearth, several parts of shoes, or rather sandals, fitting low on the foot, one of which apparently was in an unfinished state, having a last remaining in it ; all of them very broad at the toes ; two earthen jars, one stone mug (all of very ancient shape), a piece of board exhibiting about thirty perforations, designed, it is supposed, for keeping the lunar months, or perhaps for some game or amusement ; with divers other antique relics of the like trifling intrinsic value.—The aboVe interesting object of antiquity was, on Tuesday last, floated, in the pre sence of some thousands of Spectators, with the intention of getting it to the river Thames, for the inspection of the curious. —( Sussex Advertiser. ) PiIILADELPIIIA, JULY 20.—The. American Society for colonizing the free people of colour have purchased an extensive and valuable tract of country at Mesurado Bay, oti the coast of Africa, situated between five and six degrees of north latitude, consisting of an island in the mouth' of the River, which extends a considerable distance, and oc cupies the whole cape. The Mesurado empties into the Atlantic, and is stated to be about three hundred miles long— its head, waters being near those of the Niger and, the Gam bia, and take their rise on the north-east side of a chain of mountains, called the Kong Mountains. This situa tion is represented as being high and healthy, and it is supposed will be an important station to us—that it will afford relief and refreshment to our vessels of war cruizing on the African coast, and to b ur me rchantmen engaged in the East India trade. It appears by the treaty be tween Captain Stockton of the United States Navy, and the Kings and Headmen of Cape Mesurado, viz. King Peter, King George, King Zoda, King Long Peter, King Governor and King Jimmy—that the above mentioned royal and great men, (perhaps in holy alliance) have agreed 10 - accept:the• following valuable consideration (paid in hand), 1 for the territory pur chased :--Six muskets, one box of beads, two hogsheads tob'acco, one cask gunpowder, six bars iron-pots, one dozen knives and forks, one,dozen spoons, six pieces blue Bafta, four hats, thrfte coats, three pair shoes, one box pipes, one keg nails, twenty looking-glasses, three pieces'handerchiefs, three pieces Calle°, three canes, four umbrellas, one box soap, one barrel rum,—and to be paid , the following :—three casks tobacco, one box pipes, three barrels rum, twelve pieces cloth, six bars iron, one box beads, fifty knives, twenty looking glasses, ten iron pots different sizes, twelve guns, three barrels gunpowder, one dozen plates, one dozen knives and forks, twenty hats, five casks beef, five bbls. pork, ten bbls biscuit, twelve decanters, twelve gla:ss tumblers, and 50 shoes..

This animal being considered a cu riosity, and the master having a change house in Govan, he determined to take it home, and if possible keep it alive in a large tub in one of his rooms. The Seal was accordingly taken home with care, and consigned to its watery lodging. It was about' sixty nounds weight when taken, and it was so fat that it moved with difficulty and reluctance ; but as it has resolutely refused every sort of fish that could be got,' and in short every sort of sustenance, it has nowbecome considerably leaner, and moves about the room with spirit and activity. It leaves the cistern frequently during the day, and returns to it at pleasure. It is already so far domesticated that it seems to consider the apartment In which it is confined as its own; and when any of the custo mers call to see it, it views them with a steady eye, and evinces a determination to defend its aquatic abode against every invader. One day lately a live' braize was put into it, ail the spectators 'were highly amused with the manner in which the seal swam round after the fish. By dexterous manoeuvres it met and snapt at-it several tines in turning, and could easily have tale. 41 the braize had it been so inclined, but after a short pursuit it stretched. itself, and"remained Motionless at the bottom - of the tub. At' sight of a dog - it spews every denionstration of rage, and ap parently conscious of its inability to fly, promptly- prepares for a comb OARlNG'Phismorning, at 9 o'clock, a fellow had the audacity to carry off from the door of a bookseller's, cppo§ite the New Church in the Strand, a glass-case, containing some va luable portraits, belonging to an artist. It is, singular that, although numbers of people were passing at 'the time, no one offered to stop him. The villain of course escaped. Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, a young woman about -19 years of age, who lives in 'the capacity of housemaid' with a respectable old lady residing near Kennington-Common, on being informed of the marriage of a young man, which took place on Saturday last (who had formerly lived as a footman in the family, and had paid his addresses to her,) instantly ran down to the bottom of the garden, and jumped in to a large water-butt, kept there for the pur pose-of watering the garden ; but disliking her situation, she soon began .to scream out for assist ance, and her cries, having alarmed the adjoining neighbours, she, by the assistance of two of the servants, was extricated -from her perilous situa tion, with no other injury than a good ducking. • SURREY SESSIONS. EMBEZZLEMENT. M. Draper was indicted for embezzling the putt of 1/.145. the monies of his employers, George Smith and John Freeman. It was proved by the prosecutor, George Smith, a soap-manu facturer? residing in Bermondsey, thatthe prisoner was employ ed by him as a general collecting clerk, • and was in the constant habit of accounting for the monies he received;"either the same evening or the next morning. On Thursday list the prisoner received from a person of the name of George Gardner 1/. 145., being a balance due to the prosecutor for soap. " For this sum the prisoner did not account, and the next day (Friday) was ap prehended. The constable who searched him .found in his pocket money to the amount of 1/..175. At the watchhouse the prisoner said there were three or four sums for winch he had not accounted, and put down on a piece of paper the names of the parties from whom he had received them. ••- . . The CHAIRMAN put it. to the Jury whether there was sum .... • cient evidence in this case to convict the prisoner The prose cutor had admitted that the prisoner sometimes accounted for the monies received the next morning, and old; the morning after the money was received the prisoner had been apprehended on this charge. It would be perhaps too much to - convict the prisoner, and subject him to transportation for 14 years, upon such slight evidence., The Jury immediately pronounced a verdict 7 -..Not guilty. The prisoner was again indicted on a similar: charge of em bezzling from the same parties a sovereign and promissory note for 5/. It was proved that on the 19th of August last - the prisoner had received the money from a Mr. Edward Keireton, and had never accounted for it. The prosecutor had, however, neglected to produce his ledger, to prove that no entry of payment had been made. The prisoner called some witnesses, whO give him a good character ' • and the Jury again acquitted him. . Samuel Rhodes, of whose attempt to commit a robbery on Sunday evening, in the Sun and Dove public-hciuse, Coldhar bour-lane, Lambeth, we gave an account in our • paper of yes terday, was found guilty of the felony, and sentenced to be transported for seven years. The facts proved on the trial were exactly the Same as stated in our police report. T. Allen and C. Cottrell were indicted for stealing six files, the property of Lees, Cotton, and Hallam, iron founders in Lambeth.. Stevenson; a gunsmith, stated, that he met the prisoners offering-the files in question for sale at a shop in Rosennry lane and purchased them for 3s. M i r. Hallam, and the person who made the flies , proved that they were the property of the prosecutors. Allen was in the employment of the prosecutors at the time the files were stolen. Cottrell had recently left their employment. - The prisoners were both found Guilty. Allen was sentenced , to 12 months, and Cottrell to 6 months' impris s onment in the Houk - of Correction at Brixton. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday evening an inquest was held in the surgery at Middlesex Hospital, before THosr.as STIRLING, Esq., Coroner, on view of the body of James Boatwright, who came to his death in consequence of a fracture in the skull, oc casioned by a large plank falling on him.—Thomas Wilson, of Phillips'-buildings, Somers-town, deposed, he was at work on Saturday last with deceased, at the new buildings in the Regent's-park, at the corner of a house, and on the outside of the buildinff, making a trough to place on the top ; a boy, named balls, was upon the top clearing some boards away, and which he was so sent to do by his brother, witness's master. The boy was throwing the boards down, and calling out as he threw the hoards off, when deceased, who was turning round the corner of the building, and not having time to move out of the way, the board fell upon him, and struck him on the head ; witness immediately lifted him up o but he was quite insensible - a board was procured, and he was taken to the hospital. The accident happened about nine in the morning, and deceased was alive when witness left him in the evening.—The CORONER said it was a most danger ous thing to throw boards down in that manner ; it was a most shameful affair : had it been the master, he should have made many more observations to the Jury ; but a boy, merely of the age of 14, it was a very wrong thing for him to be set to do it ; had it been a deaf man, they might have ' called out for ever ; poor people, he said, were subject to such injuries by the carelessness of their masters ; there was a great inattention in this case, by setting a boy to throw the boards down that endangered the life of twenty or thirty people, instead of bringing them down carefully; had the master hiniself done it, it would- have amounted ,to Manslaughter. It ought to have been done by a discreet man ; but the master, he said, might be indicted for a nuisance.—The Jury expressed themselves very strongly upon the subject, and ob served, that such practices ought to • be put a stop to. They were well aware that if a man had been set to .do it, the accident would not have happened, anti it was a great wonder the board did not bring the boy down with it. Theythen, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." On Mondlty evening an Inquisition was held at the Six Bells, King's-road, Chelsea, on view of the body of a male child, which appeared to belong to Elizabeth Fulligar, a young woman, residing, in Chelsea.—The evidence was yesterday fully given in the Queen -square police report, and the mother was then committed, to abide the result of a Coroner's Inquest. Dr. Thompson now attended, and stated the child was in such a putrified' situation from lying in the privy, that he could not ex actlrsay in what manner it came to its death, but he was of opinion the child was still born. Under these circumstances the Jury found their verdict, that the infant was still born, but found the mother guilty of concealment. . WORTHING, SEPT. 2.—We have to record the following melancholy circumstance which occurred here late on Saturday evening last, or about one o'clock in the morning of yesterday. Three young men, the principal waiters at the Steyne Hotel, Sea House Hotel, and New Inn, of the names of Alex. Duff, Thomas Lindsey, and Daniel Miles, who had been' spending a little time together after the busineSs of the day, tempted by the brilliant and beautiful moon-light night, imprudently got into a very small and unsafe boat, lying on the beach,'and pushed off with the intention of making a lit tle excursion. A man who is employed in an under situation at the New Inn was with them on the beach, whom they wished to join their party, but who excused himself on the plea of having to rise early, and after seeing them row out on the track of the moon to a considerable distance, he returned into the house and retired to bed. Yesterday morning their respective friends were under very considerable alarm for their safety, it having been ascertained. that they had not returned, and that there, as the strongest reasons for sup posing, as the boat had not drifted ashore, that she had been suddenly swamped and sunk. Sailing boats were employed all the day in various directions, under theexpectation of meet ing with' the bodies of the unfortunate men, but hitherto their efforts have been fruitless; and. from the prevalence of the south-west wind, it is supposed they will drift irf the direction of Beachy Head. The Esplanade was crowded a great part of the day, and very great anxiety . manifested for their supposed untimely fate. We lament to add, that poor Duff has a wife here with three infant children, whose state of mind can be more easily conceived than it is possible to describe. ' Lindsey and Miles are both single men ; the latter a native of 'Worthing, and a very fine 'young man. • CORN - EXCHANGE, SEPT. 4. There was but little fresh Wheat in the Market this morn ing, and the trade was heavy, but there is no difference in the price since Monday ; Barley remains at last market day's prices , and the Oat trade is also heavy ; in all other articles there is no alteration. • • HOP INTELLIGENCE. SOD THWARK, SEPT. 2.—There have been about 120 pockets of New Hops at market, they go off very slowly, low mouldy samples are totally unsaleable. About one half of the above have found buyers at 60s. to 765. per cwt. A pretty large sup ply is expected this week. Duty at £lBO,OOO. MAIDSTONE, SEPT. 2.—Most of the accounts from our neighbourhood concur in the opinion of there being a growth as large, if not larger, than last year ; some few grounds are 'attacked with the mould and flea ; the latter, we understand, have done considerable mischief below the hill. Some of the planters who commenced picking last week were obliged to mpend their operations from the hops not being sufficiently ripe. It will be the latter end of .the week before the picking becomes general. Duty doing here from 160 to 170,000. CANTERBURY, SEPT. 2.—Our Hop picking has now gene rally commenced. The grounds that have been most free from blight comedown pretty well, and yield as many as was calculated. In other grounds the mould has ,rapidly increased within the last week, and the Planters have declined picking several of the worst pieces. We had samples of a few parcels of new Pockets offered . for sale at our Market on Saturday last, but hear of only eight Pockets being sold, the Planters ilot being inclined to se ll at the low prices offered, being fully persuaded the Duty is con siderably overlaid.
