The author then establishes that " women are better adapted fOr the sciences than Men ;", and the 'reason which he gives' appears to me 'most conclusive. "It is certain," he says, " that wo " man is of a more humid constitution than-man, and consequentlyinore disposed to the sciences." It is to this humidity of constitution, that she is indebted for that faculty of comprehending to promptly .what we, dzy heads, can only ilicover by dint of study and meditation. Truly, this is a sad mortification to our pride, but what is to be done ?. M*** quotes in support of his opinion Aristotle and St. Thomas: - We ihust Submit to such graveand imposingauthorities ; for Wifrt dares to contradict Aristotle and St. Thornas?. Lastly, the author affirms that 46 Women are very fit for rulers.", This is a truth which no person, I think, will dispute.• They have ruled empires, and governed them with glory. One of our Queens, no offence to the Salic . .Law, was worth all the Kings of her time. Among the ancient Gauls women enjoyed great authority, and it is well known how they used it. 7 Woe to him who attempted to attack it ! The author has, therefore % reason to be astonished that women should he excluded from all public func tions in France, and wherever the Salk Law prevails, and that in other countries they should also be debarred from all public duties but the Sovereign authority. Affairs of State in France would not certainly be worse conducted ; and I even think that State secrets would be better.kept. What are we to conclude from the work of M. ** *, and from this article ? That woman is a dethroned Sovereign, and that man is a tyrant. If she obeys and he command, it is au abuse of her strength, and an abuse still more flagrant as it is in opposition to the spirit of Con stitutional Governments. Do you not say that the majority ought to govern ? Well! women compose the maj or i t y, an d- a very respectable and intelligent majority. Alen are not so numerous, and we may therefore denominate - them a faction. Their reign, it is true, dates far back ; but we have not, in the present instance,- that tacit con sent which in certain cases legitimates an unjust possession, since women have never ceased to demand their rights, and to remonstrate against the oppression of which they are the victims.- 1 recommend them to persist ;.and, the. better to interrupt the presumptive assumption of..man, complain still louder, but by no means -to _neglect. the power of the lila. incendiaries. : .

North Cray, Thursday Night. It has been arranged that his Lordship's re mains are to be deposited in Westminster Abbey, and that the funeral shall take place on Monday next. In furtherance of this arrangement the body will be removed to the mansion in St. James's-square, where it will lie in state for a day or two. It is expected that the removal will take place to-night. The shell in which the body of the late Marquis was depo sited immediately after the Inquest was last night placed in a leaden coffin and soldered up, preparatory to its being inclosed in the state coffin. The afflicted Marchioness has not yet left her chamber, and this morning Lord Ellenborough set out for London, without having seen her. Mr. Frederick Stewart (now Viscount Cas tlereagh) also left the house this morning, and proceeded to London. This young Gentleman has been much affected by the shocking manner of his noble uncle's death, and seems ab sorbed in the deepest melancholy. A great many Peers and others of the Nobility have left their names at the porter's lodge, and made inquiries after the health of the Marchioness. Presuming that every thing in any way connected with the late Marquis may be matter of interest with our readers, we subjoin a short description of this his favourite retreat from the arduous duties of his office, and the turmoil of the Court and Senate. Itis situated in the richly-wooded valley of North Cray, about midway between Foot's-Cray and the picturesque little village of Bexley; and the river Cray—one of the finest trout streams in England—winds beautifully through the grounds. The late Marquis took possession of it in the summer of 1810. It consisted of the house and about forty acres of land, the property of the Reverend Edward Cockayne Frith, of Bridgen-place, near Bexley, of whom his Lordship took it upon a lease, dependent upon the lives of himself and Lady London. derry. Of these forty acres, his Lordship has converted up wards of sixteen acres into gardens and pleasure grounds ; and he rented more than a hundred acres in the neighbourhood for farming purposes. The house itself is an unassuming struc ture of only two stories—the ground-floor and one above it. His Lordship has added several other rooms to it; but after all, it has more the appearance of a cottage, than the mansion of a Noble man. It is fitted up, however, with the most refined taste; and the lawn, gardens, and pleasure grounds, are exquisitely beauti ful. A fine lawn, studded with clumps of forest trees, and flower ing shrubs, extends from the back front of the house down to the little translucent River Cray: beyond which rises a series of woody hills extending towards Bexley-heath— the principal one crowned with the highly romantic edifice, called Foots cray Place.* On the right of the house, at two or three hun dred yards distance, is an extensive aviary and menagerie, con taining many rare birds and quadrupeds, such as ostriches, cas sowanes, eagles, gold and silver pheasants; llamas, kanga roos, &c., and on the left are the gardens, hot-houses, conser vatories, &c. richly and tastefully stored with rare plants, and fruits of every description. All these elegancies have been added since the place came into the possession of his _Lordship, for previously it was little better than an ordinary farm, and we believe they were, for the most part, laid ou t under ie direc tion of the Marchioness, whose correct taste in these matters is proverbial in high life. In a Morning Paper we noticed that a dinner had been given to the Coroner and the Jury. The fact is, that no preparation whatever was made for them ; at the time of their arrival, there happened to be only some cold roast beef, and the remains of some venison i n th e h ouse . A s t h ere were 13 people to accommodate with refreshment, a fore quarter of lamb was ordered to be roasted, and the venison to be hashed This, together with three bottles of wine, was the utmost exten of the dinner—or rather luncheon. * This estate was the property of --.. Heron, Esq., and within these two months has been purchased by Mr. Vansittart, who intended to remove to it as soon as it could be got ready for his reception, from his present reside nce a t Bl ac kh eat h ; b ut sine:: the death of the Marquis of Londonderry, the repairs and alterations have been suspended • and it is said, Mr. V ans i ttart has relinquished his intention oeTesiding there. [FROM THE MORNING CHRONICLE. ] It is true, as we stated in The Mo rn i ng Chronicle of Wed nesday last, that his Majesty was the person who was first struck with apprehensions for the mental health of the Marquis of Londonderry. His Lordship had his last interview with the King on Friday, in order to take his Majesty's pleasure on cer tain subjects, connected with his mission to the approaching Congress at Verona. The interview lasted two hours; and during the Conference, as his Majesty has since declared, the luminous views and peculiarly able manner, in which they were conveyed by the Noble Marquis, excited his high est admiration, and removed altogether some doubts, which we have been given to understand his Majesty previous ly entertained on some minor points. At the close of the interview, the King recommended to the Marquis of Lon donderry an attention to his health ; concluding the statement of his wishes with the remark, that he did not think that the Noble Marquis had looked well for some time past, and that greater regard to hi s h ea lth was necessary. The look, the manner, the tone of the Noble Marquis at once excited the suspicions of the King ; to whom the Noble Marquis quickly replied, " Does your Majesty see any thing the matter with me ?" When: they separated, his Majesty revolved more deeply on what he conceived a strange and sudden altera tion in the manlier of the Marquis, and could not relieve .his mind from the impression that it indicated some more fearful consequences. Under that feeling, he ordered a messenger to be dispatched to the Earl o f Li verpoo l , w hi c h he received, we understand, at Combe Wood, by six o'clock on Saturday morn ing last. We believe that Noble Earl saw his Majesty at eleven that morning ; and that to him his Majesty stated his apprehensions.—We have been also informed, that on Friday morning the Marquess of Londonderry entered an hotel in the vicinity of Carlton Palace, and in a hurried manner, asked if the Council were assembled? Orders, we understand, have been issued to prepare for his burial in Westminster Abbey. [Private Letter from Edinburgh, August 12.] " To-day the Regalia was brought down from the Castle to Holyrood House. About ten o'clock the parade on the Castle Hill was lined with a guard, consisting of the Edinburgh troop of Mid Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Captain Cockburn. The Celtic Society, under the command of Colonel David Stewart, and a body of Clansmen in full cos tume, with broad swords and targets, under their Chief GLEN GARRY. The coaches, each having six horses, of the Duke of Hamilton (Premier Duke of Scotland), the Knight Marietta' (Sir Alexander Keith), the Lord Provost, &c. were drawn up, with the horses' heads turned down the hill. At half past ten the Regalia, borne by the Keeper, Capt. Adam Pergusson, the Knight Marischal and a body of Marischals, Esquires. and Yeo men, were escorted by a guard of honour to the outer barrier, and there received by the Celts with a salute. They were then placed in the Knight Marichal's carriage, and the procession moved in the following order A Body of Yeomanry. Royal Trumpeters. g • Duke of Hamilto n ' s Carriage.

" The procession moved down the Castle Hill, through Bank-street, across the Mound, and along Princes-street, across the Regent's Bridge, and so to Holyrood House by the new road cut for the accommodation of his Majesty, where they were received . by a guard of honour, - consisting of the Grenadiers of the 13th, and deposited. " The ground - on the parade was very much crowded ; a serious accident took place in consequence of the crowd getting upon an unfinished scaffolding, which fell from one end to the other, a distance of about 100 yards. I have only heard of one boy being killed on the spot, but a great many are slightly and some severely wounded. " Since the accident this morning on the Castle-hill, I have learned ,that the Lord Dean of Guild has announced a court for the purpose of examining all. the scaffolding throughout the town. The warning which this unfortunate affair has given them I have no doubt will not be lost, and any insuffi ciency in other similar erections will be remedied. " The town is more crowded to-day than ever. Streets that were formerly quiet and private are now in motion with car riages and foot-passengers "In Glasgow every vehicle capable of conveying a passenger has been pressed into the service. Many who posted in have done so with only one pair of horses, and have consequently been obliged to sleep on the road ; and many have come in noddies (one-horse chaises), the favourite carriages of that classical city. These are driving in every direction through our streets, and add another novelty to tlwappearance of Princes street : every coach is loaded outside and in, and the track of boats of the Union Canal alone bring us daily about 800 men of the West. " Lord Provost of Glasgow, with the Municipality, has taken the field in great force in a splendid state-carriage. An elegant house has been taken in Queen-street for their-accommodation, where it is expected that their entertainments will be most splen did, as a ship has arrived with a most seasonable supply of about thirty large turtle in the finest possible condition." [ANOTHER ACCOUNT.] PROCESSION OF THE KNIGHT MARISCHAL. This morning, the Knight Marischal proceeded in State from Holyrood Palace to the Castle, to receive the Scottish Rega lia, and to convey the same to Holyrood, there to grace with those regal emblems the presence of the King. At an early hour, the Tail of the Macgregor mustered on the Mound, in full costume. The Gentlemen of the Celtic Society, and the Mid-Lothian Yeomanry Cavalry, also assembled on the private parades ; and the whole of these three bodies fell into the Pro cession at the appointed station. About ten o'clock the grand Procession passed up the High -street. The front guard having reached the Castle, the gates of which had been shut, the Herald sounded his trumpet to proclaim the presence of the Knight Marischal. Officer of the Guard (from within.)—Who's there ? IleraU.—The King's Knight Marischal comes to receive the Regalia, which are deposited within your castle; and he de mands admission in th e name o f the King. Officer (within.)—Throw open the gates, and make way for the King's Knight Marischal. The gates having been thrown open, the Knight Marischal and the other official personages alighted from their carriages, and proceeded in the same order which had been previously observed, to the Castle, and obtained admission for themselves and six of their retainers--the Esquires who were to carry the Regalia. When the Regalia were brought without the precincts of the castle, the sight of them were hailed by the cheers of many pre sent; and " ever and anon," as the procession was returning to the palace, the Knight Marischal lifted his precious charge so high as to be seen by the multitude who thronged the car riage way, and who never failed to acknowledge with three cheers this condescending mark of attention to the populace. The pavements of the streets, and the windows and balconies, in front of which the procession passed, were crowded with a brilliant association of beauty and fashion, which added not a little to the splendour of this day. The dress of the Knight Marischal was of blue and white satin ; that of his esquires crimson and gold. The splendor of the chieftains, especially when the tail is on, is well known. The equipages, liveries, &c. were of a very grand and costly description. On mounting the Castle-hill the horses of Sir Walter Scott became restive, and the bard was obliged to alight and avail himself of the politeness of the Lord Provost, into whose vehicle he transferred himself; but the horses were afterwards brought round to their proper stations. DREADFUL ACCIDENT. We lament to say, that during the Procession, a most terrific accident occurred. On each side of the road on the Castle hill, a line of scaffolding had been erected, at least, we imagine, 150 yards in length. The seats on these, intended for the spec tators of the Royal Procession to the Castle, were take*: pas, session of by the multitude. The leading carriages in the Pro. cession had advanced half-way along the avenue formed by these scaffolds, when that on the right hand side, which contained about 1000 persons, fell to the ground. One bcy was killed on the spot, and his body was conveyed into the Castle. Another boy was carri e d away on a plank, and appeared to b e seriously injured. A L a dy was carr i ed senseless into sshop, but we believe she'had only f a i nte d f rom f r i g h t . Eight or ten oth er persons were either led N carried away from the ground, more or less wounded anti hurt by the accident. This occurrence, so calculated to cast a gloom over the scene, occasioned an in stantaneous bustle of alarm and consternation, which was no where more visible among the company than on the opposite scaffold. The greater part instantly descended, though a few persoms had the temerity to keep their places until the whole of the pageant had passed. We understand that the above accident occurred owing to the supporters at the bottom of the hill not being :sufficiently strong to bear the unusual pressure which the declivity occasioned to rest on them. P. S.—Three persons have been killed on the spot, and four are languishing in the Infirmary in a hopeless state. • (No. LVIII.) Le Triomphe des Femmes ; i. e.

This, it wilt probably be said, is a very use less, perhaps even a dangerous, book. There are some truisms which are always weakened by the attempt to demonstrate them ; and the pre eminence of the feminine sex over the masculine is undoubtedly one of the number. It is possible that some nations may exist who are so barbarous as not to acknowledge this superiority, but, who, in civilized Europe, doubts it ? To suppose such a thing is an insult to our politeness and our gallantry. But it is -not enough to admit the principle; we should also accept with a good grace all its consequences, which, on the con trary, we take great care to avoid. Polished as we are, we are not the less unjust towards IVO- - men. We do homage to all their perfections, and even, when they wish it, to the superiority of their sex over our's, but in spite of this courtesy, we expect to be obeyed by them. Can a more revolting act of injustice be conceived ? There must, however, be an end to the system. Man has reigned quite long enough, and the time is come when woman ought to say to him, Tyrant, from thy throne descend, and make way for thy superior. The existing order of things is contrary to justice and reason, and has only been established by violence. It is an odious usurpation ; a go vernment de facto which cannot too speedily be destroyed, and which it is to be hoped the ap proaching Congress will take into consideration. The Congress, to be sure, has other affairs to arrange; and if it dreads ridicule it will conclude them all before separating; but that which, to enter into the views of the author of this work, I recommend here, ought, on account of its import ance, to stand foremost on the protocol. We shall see whether this Holy Alliance, which has taken upon itself the protection of all legitima cies, will suffer the continued oppression of one which, without prejudice to the other, is as much as them of right divine. The author, to prove it, only goes as far back as the creation, for he knows that if we wish to tread on sure ground, we must ❑ot refer beyond that period.. The names given to our first pa rents demonstrate in his opinion the superiority of woman. I am. perfectly satisfied, but there are some minds not so easily contented, and who may possibly ask the author whether the signiti, cation of those names is well known to him, and if he carries in his pocket the vocabulary of the language then in use. The Celtic Academy has, I understand, decided this question, and af firms that Adam and Eve spoke Low Breton, or Welsh ; but is this Society quite certain of it ? Let them answer us conscientiously. As to the interpreters whose testimony M. * * * cites in support of his opinion, have they not somewhat abused the privileges granted to the learned ? Fortunately we have a much stronger proof, derived from the order, ,followed-in the creation, a very remarkable order, in fact, and to which the Author of the Triumph of Women reproaches us, with justice, of not having given sufficient atten tion. You see that creatures the. most removed from perfection, irrational animals, in short beasts, since we must call them by their name, were first created. Man, who it cannot be de nied is rather superior, then followed. But the chef-d'oeuvre was still wanting. Woman was created—she was created the last, and in a de lightful garden, which, according to the author, should convince us that woman is the most noble of creatures, that all ought to obey her, and that man is only her first subject. " This," he ex claims, " is a proof to which every man of sense " ought to surrender." I am of the same opinion ; and I think the proof irresistible. It becomes us well, indeed, to pretend to the command ! Where are our titles ? M*** re quests us to produce them ; afterwards, to abate our pride, he dedicates a whole chapter to make us sensible of our inferiority and baseness : no thing can be better calculated to humble us. " Do you observe," he says, " of what vile mat " ter you were formed ; a handful of dust ! of " which gross origin you too frequently remind " us." He proves subsequently that if man is superior to the ape, the difference is so trifling that it is scarcely worth notice ; and yet man is proud ! man wishes to command ! it will doubtless be remarked that M.** has overcharg ed the picture, and that we are better than he thinks. We ought to suppose so for our ho nour's sake ; but if we are candid, we must al low that we are not worth much. Woman, on the contrary, formed according to M*** of purer matter,is endowed with a thousand perfections which we do not possess. "It would " seem (it is the author who speaks) as if the " Deity took a singular pleasure in creating her." Truly I have no difficulty in believing it; arid how can we doubt it when we behold, with the author, 46 those eyes at once soft znd 64 sparkling, little incendiaries which set fire to 46 our hearts ; those coral lips, which, joined to " the whiteness of the teeth, exhibit an object so " ravishing to the sight, that we can figure to " ourselves nothing equally charming." None of our erotic poets have said any thing more gal lant, and we need no other 'argument than the little incendiaries to decide the question in dis cussion. What distinguishes us most from animals is the faculty of speech. Now, this is the triumph of women ; they speak with greater fluency than men. Their advocate observes, that dumb men are very common, while dumb women are seldom to be found; whence he concludes, very judici- „r9Y Pi o ricl . fea r ! ill” 14'01 ,ureed. de`.- ctst t 5: to 09 the 0 , 111 I , l olP li t h7 l lie ver 0/1 the 11° GENERAL SIR S. AUCTIVIUTY. We yesterday announced the sudden •death or this distinguished Officer. The following parti culars are extracted from the Dublin Paps-i-s -since received : DUBLIN, AUCUST SAYIUCL and Col:), nel THORNTON had been in attendance on hi 3 Excellency an official buiiness, and between focir and five yesterday evening, rode through the Park on their return from the Lodge, w,hen Sir SAMUEL suddenly fell from his horse, and, as it appears, expired almost immediately. , cOlOllO GROVE happened to pass at the time in a jaunt ing car ; : by his aid and that of some other per sons, Sir SAMUEL was placed on the car, Ivhieh was driven by Colonel GROPE to the Royal llopital.—Col. T HORNTON sat i n the car, and supported the General in his arms. The medical attendants opened a vein, but all symptoms t:f animation had fled for ever. There were no other marks re sulting from Sir SAMUEL'S fall from his horse than a slight scar on the back part of his head, which bled for a momer.: ; his sword was bent in the fall. Since writing the preceding, we have learned that Mr. Mox A RAN, who resides at No. 16, Dame-street, was the first invidi dual who happened to be near Sir SAMUEL when he fell ; he raised him in his arms, and assisted Col. THORNTON, wha was greatly agitated, in placing him in Colonel GROVE'S car, which arrived at the spot shortly after the lamentable event-- The dragoon in attendance on the General was dispatched at full speed to procure the assistance of Medical Gentleinea, and on the arrival of Sir SAMUEL at the Royal hospital sur gical aid was resorted to, but unfortunately without effect— the vital .stark unhappily had been extinct within a minute us two after the lamented Officer fell from his home.—(Saunder'i News Let!er.). The melancholy death of this brave and excellent Officer, took place about four o'cloek yesterday. Sir S. AUCit3fu TY was riding in the Phoenix Park, in comp an y w i t h C o l . T HORN - TON, when he was seized with an apoplectic fit, and .fell dead from his horse. He was put into a carriage, which happened to be passing at the moment, and conveyed to the Roy a l Ho s . pital, where Surgeons REY NEL L and AI'AuLEY, of the Royal Infirmary, were in immediate attendance, and opened a rein in Sir SAstuEr.'s left arm, and tried every means that profes. sional skill and abxious zeal for the recovery of this diztin. guished General could dictate, but without effect. General FYERS has been written to by express ' to come to town, and take the com man d o f t h e army i n this country, cd interim, he being the oldest General on the Irish Staff.

DUBLIN, AUG. 13.--The remains of Sir S. MUEL AUCIIMUTY, were yesterday embarked fur England. They .were attended to the water side by a concourse of distinguished persons, and bad all due military honours paid to them.
