TO THE BURGESSES OF NUMBER 15, OR SOUTH TOXTETH WARD. REVIVAL OF RELIGION IN SCOTLAND. Just published, price ld., Bd. p er , d ozen , or 4 s . per hundred, ANARRATIVE OF THE LATE REVIVAL AT KIL SYTH ; being the Substance of a Statement by the Rev. Mr. BURNS, Minister of the Parish, drawn up at the re quest of the Presbytery of Glasgow, with Additions. TURNER and ROSE, South Castle-street. B SECOND GENTLEMEN, ONE of your late Representatives, Mr. Cropper, having resigned, and a Deputation having waited upon me with a Requisition desiring that I would allow myself to be put in nomination as a Candidate for this Ward, I have maturely considered the proposal, and, under all the circumstances of the case,, yield to the solicitations of my Friends, and once more place myself at the service of the Public. Should Ibe the obje t k of your choice, you will find me indefatigable in the diseharge of my duties, and always using my best en deavours to support those Religious and Civil Institutions which can alone, in my estimation, preserve this great nation in a state of prosperity. In conclusion, permit me further to add, that my utmost exertions shall be devoted to the interests of the Town in general, and those of South Toxteth in particular, in which Ward I have now been a resident for many years. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obliged and obedient servant, JOHN SHEPPARD. Mill-street, 24th Oct. 1839. UDDICOM'S CHRISTIAN EXODUS. EDITION.

PORTRAITS AND MEMOIRS OF THE ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND OTHER DISTIN GUISHED DIGNITARIES AND CLERGYMEN 0,1 /THE UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND IRELAND, TO THE BURGESSES OF PITT-STREET WARD. GENTLEMEN, THE tirrtels pear at - hand when you will have to elect a COUNCILLOR for Pitt-street Ward. Having had the honour to represent you for nearly the past three years, during which period I have devoted a considerable portion of time, and upon all occasions, whether in private Com mittee or within the Council Chamber of the Town-hall, having given opinions and conscientious votes, without poli tical partisanship, at the time prospectively for the benefit of the Town in general and the Public at Jarge. Finding the onerous duties of a Councillor requiring a greater portion of time than I originally conceived or can well spare, consistent with my general and mercantile pursuits, had determined me to retire on the Ist of November next ; but, being waited upon by a very highly-respectable Deputation, with a nu merously-signed Requisition from your body, accompanied with a vote of thanks expressive of their entire satisfaction for my past conduct, and requesting a continuance of my services, I therefore cheerfully place myself in your hands, for a renewal of your Suffrages at the ensuing Election ; and, in the event of being chosen your Representative, pledge myself to perform the onerous duties to the best of my judg ment and ability. With grateful thanks for your kind wishes and exertions in my favour on a former occasion, I remain, your obliged and faithful Servant, JOHN BIBBY. Duke's Dock, October 18th, 1839. AND OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SCOTLAND, AND THE UNITED. STATES OF AMERICA. EDITED BY THE Rev. STEPHEN ISAACSON, M.A. TT is intended that this great National Work shall comprise § I a series of Portraits, accompanied with brief Memoirs, of the Archbishops, Bishops, and other living Dignitaries and Clergymen of the United Church of England and Ireland, both here and in our Colonies, the Episcopal Church of Scotland, and that interesting branch of the Protestant ' Episcopal Church now flourishing in the United States of America; and the distinguished patronage with which this undertaking has been already honoured, inspires the Pro prietors with confidence that it will be highly acceptable to the nation at large, as well as to the members of our venera ble and Apostolic Church. The value of this Work will be obvious to all who desire to see the sacred ties of Christian affection drawn more closely between the respective orders and ranks of the Clergy and their Congregations. To the Clergy who may wish to possess Portraits of the Bishops who ordained them, and are over them in the Lord," and likewise of their College and Clerical friends ; and of living authors whom they have read and esteem, the present Work will be full of interest and pleasure. To Parochial Congregations also it will afford high gratifica tion to be able individually to possess themselves of a faithful Portrait of the Pastor from whom they receive the advantages of religious instruction and spiritual consolation, and whom they have been led to " esteem highly for his work's sake." The numerous Lay friends and relatives of the Clergy will also hay. 2 an opportunity of obtaining accurate Portraitures of those who are endeared to them by the ties of nature. In all these, and many other respects, this Work cannot fail of becoming of great utility and interest to the vast body of the Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the British Empire. The Portraits will be selected without the least regard to political or other differences of opinion. Eminence in Ecclesiastical rank, intellectual abilities, learning, virtue, or religious zeal, being the great objects proposed to be recorded. The Memoirs will be confined to a review of the academical course and public life of the Clergyman whose likeness is given, together with a list of any religious or literary works which he may have published. Facts will be stated, while all critical and controversial observations likely to offend will be excluded. It has been suggested by very high authority, that it would add much to the interest and value of the work, if each Clergyman would furnish a short exposition of a passage of Scripture. The Proprietors cheerfully accede to this suggestion, and respectfully solicit the favour of such communications. And as only about four pages on an average can be appropriated to each Memoir and Scriptural illustration, brevity will be highly desirable. The Portraits will be engraved in the first style of the Art, and neither trouble nor expense spared to render this great Work worthy of the noble cause to which it is dedicated, and one of the most splendid that has ever appeared. A Part, containing three Portraits, with, their respebtive Memoir, will be published on the first day of every alternate month, in a thick, handsome wrapper, for the protection of the Plates. The size of each engraving will be nine inches by seven. s. d. _ _ _ N.B.

When it is considered that this large and beautiful Church is now in progress of erection, whereby comfortable and convenient accomodation will be afforded to the wealthier portion of the community—that the same ad vantages will be extended to tha middling classes, and at a moderate expense,—that Four Hundred Stttings will be ap propriated to our poorer brethren ; and that the blessings of a solid and Scriptural Education, through the medium of Sun day, Daily, and Infant Schools will, with God's assistance, be placed within the reach of not less than One Thousand Chil dren, the Committee do hope that this Appeal will not be made in vain, but, that all who are indeed friends to the church of our fathers, to the pure, chaste, and Scriptural system of re ligious worship and instruction which she maintains, will, by their presence on this occasion, or as opportunity may serve, promote a work which must be deeply interesting to Chris tians generally.

Having already had a practice of more than fourteen years in this particular branch of the Profession, I venture with more confidence to solicit the favor of your vote, and to assure you, that if honoured by your support on the occasion, nothing on my part shall be wanting to forward the benevo lent object of your Institution. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your very obedient Servant, W. H. BAINBRIGGE, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London, and Licentiate of the Apothecaries' Company. 68, Upper Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, 22d October, 1839. [ADVERTISEMENT.] To the ORIGINAL SHAREHOLDERS, or SCRIP HOLDERS, in the IMPERIAL BANK. Ladies and Gentlemen,—Deeply impressed, as I feel, with a conviction that a state of things, in every account to be de precated, is impending over you, and sincerely anxious to ward off from those amongst you, who were not amongst the concoctors of this project, the effects of a blow, which would fall most deservedly on those who originated and profited by it, permit me to trespass for a few moments on your atten tion, before you are led to errors yourselves in any of those clubs which are forming, for the avowed purpose of mutual defence, and trying the queston of liability. Allow me to ask you to consider, whether the end of such associations must not, most inevitably, be interminable litigation and law charges, much more burdensome to each of you than a mo derate contribution from each to the common loss, according to the number of shares to which your name is appended. Were such a sum to be paid, under a protest against your li ability, into a bank, approved by yourselves, in the names of trustees chosm by you, and to be applied, if a sufficient sum be thus raised to meet the deficiencies caused by the misma nagement of the bank ; or, if an adequate amount be not thus contributed, then after payment of expenses, and after aid ing, so far as you may think proper, the inspecting commit tee in enforcing the claims of justice on bond fide scriphold ers, unwilling to bear any proportion of the common burden, if the residue be returnable to you ; or be disposable by your decision at a meeting to be convened for the express purpose of its application ; there will, as appears to me, be a speedy, cheap, and effectual stop to ruin, bearing its own guarantee, that no unequal burden shall be borne by any. lamin no way connected with shareholders or scripholders, as any rela tive or clients ; but I represent, as many of you may be aware, a very large body of depositors in the most prosperous of your branches. On their behalf, I tender for your acceptance this olive branch. I have, in the last few days, taken some pains to confer with the principal solicitors in the same position as myself, and with some who are largely concerned for share holders and scripholders, with a wish to obtain their sanction of a meeting, at the York Hotel, in a short time, to take such propositions into the consideration of the scripholders, and their legal advisers. I have great hopes that some, whose names will be to von a pledge of the propriety and practicabi lity or the prupuseu course, Lillis sat - Mat/II it. nut i tear that, before these arrangements can be completed, many of you may have been induced to pledge yourselves to support measures which you may afterwards regret, as having invol ved, not yourselves and your families only, bnt as having di minished the support of the widow, the orphan the sick, and the infirm. For their sakes, as well as far your own, pause, I beseech you, before -ou combine. Pause and consider whether we do not submit to you that whieh is the best and most safe and speedy mode you can adopt, to rid yourselves of the pest which, under the sanction of most respectable and Influential names, used in many cases, doubtless, without the slightest authority, has done more, in a few months, to tar nish the fair fame of Manchester men, than any commercial speculation, I can remember, since I was born among you.— I have the honour to be, ladies and gentlemen, yours res pectfully, GEORGE TAYLOR. York Hotel, Manchester, 0ct.:17, 1839. TO THE ORIGINAL SHAREHOLDERS OF THE IMPERIAL BANK OF ENGLAND. WE respectfully request your attendance at a MEETING, to be held at the large Room at the York Hotel, in King-street, Manchester, on MONDAY, the twenty-eighth day of October instant. at the hour of Eleven in the Fore noon, to take into consideration the following propositions, which we purpose then to submit to you, being of opinion that they will conduce to the arrangement of the affairs of the Bank in the most speedy and least expensive manner pos sible, namely : First. That the Original Shareholders shall, under protest, pay £5 or £6 per Share, within tourteen days after the Meet ing, into a Bank in Manchester, to be approved by them, in the joint names of one of themselves, one of the Principal Claimants, one of the Inspecting Committee, and one of the Directors of the Bank, subject to be paid out on the checque of any three of them, of whom the Member of the Committee of Inspection shall be one. Second, That, in case such a number of the solvent Share holders as the Inspecting Committee shall deem influential, shall neglect or refuse to pay such call, such Shareholders shall be subject to be forthwith proceeded against, under the direction of the Committee of Inspection, in such way as they are or shall be advised, for the purpose of making good the claim of the Creditors of the Bank, and to compel them to contribute to the loss of the present Shareholders. Third, That the expense of such proceedings shall be de frayed out of the above common fund, and by contribution from the Claimants, by a poundage on their respective claims. . . . Fourth, That, in case a due proportion of the present de ficiency of the assets of the Bank be not thus raised to the satisfaction of the Inspecting Committee, the money so paid in, or the residue, shall be disposed of by the resolution of a majority of the contributing Shareholders, to be afterwards convened; but, if a sufficient sum be raised, it shall be appli cable to the discharge of the deficiency of the assets, under the direction of the Inspecting Committee. (Signed) T. W. WINSTANLEY, Solicitor for Claimants. EDLESTON and TAYLOR, of Nant wich, Solicitors for Claimants. JAMES BARRATT, jun., Solicitor for Claimants. N I C IL EARLE, of Ashton-under-Lyne, Solicitor for Claimants. [ADVERTISEMENT.] IMPERIAL BANK OF ENGLAND. The name of " John Eyton," of Nantwich, in the county of Chester, having been published in the Manchester papers, in certain lists purporting to be copies of the returns made on oath by the manager of the above bank, and registered at the stamp office ; I give public notice, and declare, that I never applied for any shares in the said bank; but merely in quired on what terms the directors would exchange some shares I held in the Northern and Central Bank for shares in r the Imperial Bank. Such exchange, lam ppy to say, was never effected, as letters in my possession d isputably t prove. I suppose that, in consequence of such in uiry, the manager of the bank has taken the liberty to insert my name in such returns. I declare, that I am not, nor ever was, a share holder in the said Imperial Bank, nor ever in my way autho rised the insertion of my name in the books of the said bank, or in the lists of shareholders. And I shall hold all parties liable to me for damages for any loss or injury I may sustain, at any time hereafter, by the unauthorised use of my name as such alleged shareholder, or by my being subjected to any action, or suit, or other proceeding, either alone or jointly with the public officer of the said bank, or other person or persons, or in relation to the affairs of the said bank in any wise.—Witness my hand, this twenty-first day of October, 1839.

And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum Mows. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment permanently at No. 70, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, without the slightest pain. Artificial and Natur a l Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation, remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial T00th.... A complete Set A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first style, with fine gold sockets, usually charged 40 guineas Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.

Some of the advantages offered to Assurers are 1. The option of two scales of premiums. One by which, at rates considerably below those of Mutual Assurance So cieties, 'the same benefits are secured to Assurers, and that, too, without risk or responsibility, and another scale of pre miums, by which the Assured are guaranteed in a fixed sum at the lowest rate consistent with safety. 2. Tables of premiums are constructed on different plans, so as to meet the views of all classes of Assurers by an as cending scale, or by a scale of limited payments where the premiums are exhausted within a certain period. 3. Advances are made by the Company on Redeemable Annuity, or otherwise in connection with Assurances. 4. The Assured are permitted to reside within the limits of Europe without payment of extra premium. 5. No charge whatever is made under the head of entrance money, and no expense is incurred except the Stamp Duty. 6. The sum in the Policy is paid within three months after the decease of the party assured. The Company also grant Assurances for short periods and on every combination of Lives ; and purchase reversionary and other contingent rights. They have likewise constructed Tables for present Annuities and . Endowments, the rates of which, and every additional information, may be learned on application to Mr. TOPHAM, Solicitor, No. 3, Cable-street, Liverpool. TEETH. MR. ESKELL, SURGEON DENTIST, of the Firm of Es- KELL and SONS, Surgeon Dentists, of Oxford-street, London, and Norfolk-street, Sheffield, may be consulted at Mrs. LLOYD'S, 36, (late 95,) BOLD-STREET, Liverpool, OPPOSITE THE PALATINE CLUB-ROUSE. Mr. E. continuet to FIX ARTIFICIAL•TEETH on his entirely New Principle, without tying or twisting wires: they are constructed in such a manner that it is impossible to dis cern them from the productions of nature. The peculiar ad- ' vantages of these Teeth are, that they operate as a support to those which remain in the mouth, if any, and prevent their ap proximation, and even Loose Teeth are held firm in their sockets by their aid. They may be taken out and replaced - by the wearer with fa cility, and will continue securely fixed on the gums ; they will retain their colour, perform mastication, assist articula tion, and cannot be distinguished from those of natural growth. The inconveniences attending the LOSS of TEETH are too well known to require comment ; but to those who have not experienced the comforts of Artificial Teeth, Mr. Eskell is desirous of showing the difficulties more or less en dured by every individual without Teeth. When the Teeth fail the destruction of the sockets invariably ensues : one cannot exist without the other. 'The process of absorption commences immediately after the tooth is extracted, or. in many cases, the gum and sockets waste away, and cause the teeth to become loose and drop out. When the teeth are gone and their sockets absorbed, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions every muscle in the face to be distorted ; and the eyes, the nose, the lips, and chin, are sadly disfigured and drawn from their original position. These Artificial Teeth are constructed to supply this defect of na ture, and gradually to restore the featutes to that uniformity so essentially requisite to a youthful appearance and perfect articulation. In consequence of the great improvements in'the Mechani cal Departments of Dentistry, Mr. E. is enabled to lower his charges to the following scale : A Single Artificial Tooth £o 10 0 A complete Set • 5 0 0 A complete Set of Mineral Teeth, Gold ls 15 0 Plates, highly finished A complete Set of Incorrodible Teeth, l first workmanship, usually charged y 25 0 0 Fifty Guineas. . FILLING DECAYED TEETH. Mr. Eskell's celebrated MINERAL TERRA METAL LIC, for filling Decayed Teeth, without heat, pain, or pressure. This Mineral is applied in a soft state like paste, to the cavity of the Decayed Tooth, however large or small the cavity ; it hardens in a second into an enamel, becomes incorporated with the outer shell, arresting thereby the pro gress of further Decay, and Toothache, and lasting for many years. Loose Teeth fastened, whether arising from old age, the use of calomel, neglect, or natural diseases of the gums. All other Dental Operations, Scaling, Separating, Extract ing, and Regulating Children's Teeth, Mr. E. performs with ease and safety. Mr. E.'s system of practice combines all the modern im proved methods adopted in London, the only opportunity of the kind to be met with, without visiting the Metropolis.

We published, yesterday, in our first edition, the rumour that prevailed as to the death of this distinguished nobleman. We expressed, at the same time, doubts as to the accuracy of the report. In a second edition, we had the pleasure of announcing the gratifying truth that his lordship has escaped unhurt from the effects of the accident which destroyed his carriage. In - a letter which Lord Brougham addressed, after the oc currence, to Mr. Eden, residing at his lordship's house in town, the particulars of the accident are narrated. His lord ship, Mr. Leader, and Mrs. Shafto, were upset a few miles from Brougham Hall. The carriage was dashed to pieces. The post-boy was seriously injured; but none of the party inside was hurt. " As a proof of this," adds his lordship, " we walked thirteen miles within three hours after the accident." The rumour that the noble and learned lord had been killed —" kicked to death" as the rumour had it—was set on foot, we are told, by a well-known fashionable count, who having received a letter from Mr. Shafto, yesterday morning, in which the accident was mentioned, took the letter to 'White's, and by way of a joke ( ) read it publicly in the coffee room, in such a way as to justify the rumour that the result of the upset was the death of Lord Brougham. COUNT D'ORSAY AND THE RUMOUR OF LORD BROUGHAM'S DEATH. (From the Morning Herald of yesterday.) The following letter from Count d'Orsay appeared in the Post of yesterday : TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST. " Sir,—l have seen the following paragraph in the Morn- ing Herald of this day, relating to the reported death of Lord Brougham : " 'The rumour that the noble and learned lord had been killed—" kicked to death," as the rumour had it—was set on foot, we are told, by a well known fashionable count, who having received a letter from Mr. Shafto yesterday morning, in which the accident Was mentioned., took the letter to White's, and, by way of a joke ('.l, read it publicly in the coffee room, in such a way as to justify the rumour that . the result of the upset was the death of Lord Brougham.' " I believe this paragraph alludes to me, because I did mention to many persons in the course of yesterday that I had seen a letter from Mr. Shafto, announcing the dreadful acci dent to Lord Brougham. The statement, however, that I took the letter to White's, or to any other club house, and read it by way of joke, is an infamous falshoal, which I can not refer to without indignation. Thaletter which Isaw considered to be genuine; and you will readily believe, sir, that my feelings yesterday were anything but jocular. The person who could suppose that I could be capable of making a joke about Lord Brougham's death can know nothing of me, nor (I should think) of the feelings of a gentleman. " The facts of this business, so far as I have had anything to do with them, are as follow :—_ _ _ "Mr. Montgomery, a friend of Lord Brougham and Lord Wellesley, called upon me on Monday afternoon, in a state of the most distressing grief. He had received a letter from Mr. Shafto, dated Brougham-hall, Saturday, detailing the • dreadful occurrence very nearly as it was detailed in :your paper of this morning. Mr. Montgomery, when he called upon me, was on his way to Fern-hill to communicate. the contents of this letter to Lord Wellesley, and I never saw any one in a more deplorable state of grief and agitation than Mr. Montgomery was. This morning I had a letter from Mr. Montgomery, written at Fern-hill, and he was as strongly as ever under the distressing conviction of Lord Brougham's death. " It has since come to my knowledge that Mr. Shafto's letter was intended as a joke. I leave others to explain the motives for so heartless a hoax. " I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, " Cte. d'ORSAY. "Tuesday Evening, Oct. 22, 1839." Count d'Orsay (who, of course, readily fathers the impu tation of being the "arbiter elegantiaruna") appears—in deed he says he is—extremely indignant at its being sup posed that he could be " capable of making a joke about Lord Brougham's death." We know nothing of the count's capabilities, though we have heard that he- is both a wit and a whig ; and, in either case, might consider himself qualified to perpetrate a joke at the expense even of his dearest friend. But, setting this aside, let us ask Count d'Orsay what construction his friend Mr. Shafto, whom he admits to be the author of this " heartless hoax," is likely to put upon the opinion which the count ha's expres sed of one who could concoct such a jole ? Count•d'Oesay declares that to imagine a joke on such an occasion is to " know nothing of the feelings of a gentleman ." and yet, while he reprehends the Morning Herald in still stronger language for supposing that his feelings could be " jocular," he transfers far more than the - odium which he ascribes to us to the shoulders of his correspondent,—winding up with the tranquil reflection that he leaves "to others to explain the motives" which originated the letter. We are happy to find that Count d'Orsay is disposed to treat the matter an se'rieux ?—it will give us a better opinion of the class of which he is the presumed leader : but; at the same time, we trust that, in his eagerness to exonerate him self, and shine in print, he may not be held to have placed himself in the predicament of censuring in " others' that which he so studiously deprecates in his own case. LATE LADY HESTER STANHOPE. (From an Eastern Print) We announced in our last number the death of Lady Hester Stanhope. Our readers will no doubt be glad to have a brief sketch of the principal circumstances of that extraor dinary woman's life. It is at Djouni, in Syria, that Lady Hester has died, after a long illness, at the age of 64. That reader mustbe indiffer ent who reverts not with interest to his recollections of a woman who has expired on the borders of the desert, amidst the Druses and Turkomans, over whom that noble daughter of the infidels once exercised so strange and so marvellous a sway. The destiny of Lady Stanhope prese9ts one. of those features of which not another instance could perhatis be foAnd in the annals of the East. Only imagine forty thousand Arabs suddenly assembled upon the ruins of Palmtra, and these wandering, savage, and indomitable tribes surround-• ing, in silent astonishment and admiration, a foreign woman, arid proclaiming her Sovereign of the Desert and Queen of Palmyra! Convey yourself in thought to the Scene of this incredible triumph, and you will then conce . r•k' what woman that must have been who imposed silence on MuSsulman fa naticism, and created for herself,'astrwere;byturtaig,sm - So; - vereigiicy au tau. .r..x.ataaualautai " Lady Hester Stanhope," says M. de Lamaitine in liis admirable work, " was a niece of Mr. Pitt. On the death of her uncle she left England, and visited various parts of Europe ' • young, handsome, and rich, she was every where received with the attention and interest due to her rank, for tune, mind, and beauty ; but she constantly refused to unite her fate to that of her worthiest admirers, and, after spend ing some years in the principal capitals of Europe,"embarked - with a numerous suite for Constantinople. The real cause of this expatriation has never been known , some have ascribed it to the death of a young English officer, who -was. killed at that period in Spain, and whom an eternal regret must render for ever present in Lady Hester:Stanliope's heart ; others have imputed her voluntary banishment to a mere love of adventure in a young person of an enterprising and courageous character. However this might :be, she de parted, spent some years in Constantinople, and then sailed for Syria in an - English vessel, which carried also the larger part of her fortune, as well as jewellery, trinkets, and pre sents of all sorts, of very considerable value." The vessel encountered a storm in the Gulf of Macri, the road to Caramania ; the ship was wrecked; lady Ilester Stanhope's property was all lost, and it was as much as she • could do to save her own life. Nothing, however, could shake her resolution. She returned to England, gathered the remainder of her fortune, sailed again for Syria, and landed at Latakia, the ancient Laodicea. She had at first thought of fixing her abode at Broussa, at the foot-of the Olympus ; but Broussa is a commercial city, situate on •the avenues to the Ottoman capital, and reckoning not less than sixty thousand inhabitants • and Lady Hester Stanhope sought the independence and solitude of the desert. She therefore selected the wilderness of Mount Lebanon ' whose extreme ramifications lose themselves in the sands:: Ruined Palmyra—Zenobia's ancient capital—suited her fancy. The noble exile took up her residence at Djouni, prepared for every vicissitude. " Europe," said she, "is a monotonous residence ; its nations are unworthy of freedOm, and'endless revolutions are their only prospects." She applied herself to the study of the Arabic language, and strove it° obtain a thorough acquaintance with the character and manners of the Syrian people. One day dressed in the costume of the Osmanlis, she set out for Jerusalem, Damascus, Aleppo, and the Desert ; she advanced amidst a caravan loaded with wealth, tents, and presents for the Scheiks, and was soon surrounded by all the tribes, who knelt to her, and submitted to her supremacy. It was not solely by her magnificence that Lady Hester had excited the admiration of the Arabs ; her courage had been proved on more than one occasion, and she had always faced peril with a boldness and energy which the tribes well remem bered. Lady Hester Stanhope knew also how to flatter the Mahomedan prejudices. She had no intercourse with Chris tians and Jews ; she spent whole days in the grotto of a san ton, who explained the Koran to her ; and never appeared in public without that mien of majestic and grave inspiration which was always unto Oriental nations the characteristic of prople" , . With her, however, this conduct was not so mach the result of design as of a decided proneness to every species of excitement and originality. Lady Hester Stanhope's first abode was but a monastery. It was soon transformed into an Oriental palace, with pa vilions, orange gardens, and myrtles, - over which spread the foliage of the cedar, such as it grows in the mountains of Lebanon. The traveller to whom Lady Hester Stanhope opened this sanctuary, would behold her clad in oriental gar ments. Her head was covered with a turban made of a red and white cashmere. She wore a long tunic, with open loose sleeves ; large Turkish trousers, the folds of which hung over yellow morocco boots embroidered with silk. Her shoulders were covered with a sort of burnous, and a,yataghan hung to her waist. Lady Hester Stanhope had a serious and imposing countenance ; her noble and mild featurei had a isTajestic ex pression, which her high stature and the dignity ofher-move ments enhanced. The day came when all this prestige, so expensively kept up, suddenly vanished. Lady Hester's fortune rapidly de clined ; her income yearly.drcreased ; in Short, the substan tial resources which had, at one time, sustained-the magi 6 of her extraordinary domination were daily forsaking her. The Queen of Palmyra then fell back into the rank of mere mor tals, and she who had signed absolute firmans, enabling the. traveller to visit in security the regions of Palmyra—she whose authority the Sublime Porte had tacitly aeknowledged —soon saw her people disown her omnipoteney ; she Was left the title of Queen, but it was but an empty name ; a more re collection, and again the monastery's silence ruled over the solitude of Djouni, A Queen, stripped of her glory of a day, Lady Hester Stanhope has expired, the sport of fate, at the moment the East is convulsed. She has expired in obscurity and loneliness, without even mingling her name with the great events of which it is now the theatre. Mr. Batty, at his amphiteatre at Sheffield, is exhibiting a person named North, who throws fifty-five surnmersets con secutively with apparent ease, and who leaps from a horse, going full gallop, over a piece of cloth extending to nearly a fifth of the circle, alighting with perfect precision on his sad dle. We should think that this man will so get into the prac tice of throwing summersets, that some day or other he will be unable to stop.
