lllbb. Vottrp. DURHAM MORITURUS (SEE COWPER'S POEMS•) (From the Morning Herald.) I am a monarch of all I survey, My rule there is none to deny; From the Hudson right round to the sea I sot lord of the low and the high! Yet royalty ! where's the delight A Normauby finds in thy face? Better banished to Moscow outright Than to reign in this horrible place! Dear Grant, I am out of your reach While you shrink under Bcougham's fivrce frown; Too distant to hear his harsh speech, Or give him back one of my own ! All the lest, save your chattering sub,* • My distress with indifference see; They're accustomed so oft to a snub. Their tameness is shocking to me! To manoeuvre and talk fast and loose, Peculiar blessings of man! Oh ! had I the wings of a goose, How soon would I taste you again! My spirits I then might resume In factious intriguing and bustle— Might learn froth the wisdom of HUME, Or be cheer'd by the sallies of RussELl. Intriguing ! what pleasure untold Besides in that magical word! To me more than silver, than gold, Or diamoildst could ever airoid! But here, as the price of their sins, We have put. down ad groanings and shouts ; All cheers of victorious INS, All sighs of disconsolate OUTS. Ye winds, that transported me hither, Convey from the land I regret Some welcome intelligence whether I shall there become premier yet! My friends, do they now aud.t hen send A wish fur my presence ? Oh! tell me 1 yet have a friend, — Though Brougham's the falsest of men! Disappointed ambition! how often It recurs to the scene of its pride ! As if recollection could soften The pain of the barb in tts side! When I think of my seat in the cabinet, I dream—a sweet fancy !—l'm there; But menery soon spoils my Queen -Mobbing it, And tortures me into despair. But Buller has gone to his nest, And Turtun laid down in his lair! Even here there's a season of rest, And something to solace our care. There's a salary to every place ! And the salary—encouraging thought!— Gives e'm to our exile a grace, And reconciles all to their lot! • Sir G. Grey. + Que ce black ?—PRINTER's 121TE97-I',ARY NOTICES. The Asiatic Journal. September. This truly interesting p,-,riodical has arrived some what late. It. contents will be found as attractive and varied as ever. The "Re iew of Eastern News" is a careful and impartial synopsis. In the notice of the " Modern Hindu Stage" we find many amusing speci mens of the oriental drama. "The Analyses of East ern Works" are copious and faithful. "The Moon light Old Man" is an amusing abstract of a Chinese fiction. The account of "Goa" is a paper of great historical interest. The article headed " China" em braces some very striking and original extracts from recent publications. The " Battle of Seetahuldee" is a spirited relation. "The Romance of Autar" fur nishes some novel particulars. The " New Fact re garding Mahomet" affords an additional proof of the acquaintance of the impostor with the scriptures. The miscellaneous intelligence includes an immense mass of useful and important information respecting India, China, Persia, Ceylon, Burma!), Mauritius, Austral asia, New Zealand, Sandwich Islands, Circopia, Syria, Cape of Good Hope, &c. &c. Guide through'lreland, descriptive of its Scenery, Towns, Seats, Antiquities, By James Fraser. Dublin : W. Curry, Jun., and Co. The publishers of this truly national work de serve the highest praise for their enterprise in prepar ing this admirable guide, which, we have no doubt, will become an indispensable companion to every tour ist that may visit the sister island. The greatest care seems to have been bestowed upon this excellent pub lication, in order to secure accuracy in all its details. The publishers must have incurred a very considera ble expenditure in preparing and collating the mate rials for this volume. The statistical tables which it contains are extremely valuable. The outline of the mineral structure of Ireland, and the brief view of its botany, which are also incorporated in the work, can not fail to interest the geologist and the student of natural history. The plates and maps by which it is illustrated are numerous and well-executed. The whole arrangement of the contents reflects the highest credit upon the compiler. We earnestly recommend the work to the notice of all whom pleasure or busi ness may lead to travel through the beautiful scenery of Ireland. NEM NOBILITY SPRUNG FROM. HONEST TRADE, In Pennant's History of London, page 397, he gives a curi ous list of some of our principal noble families, who owe th e i r origin to honest trade, in the following words, viz.:—" / beg leave here to remind several noble peers of their industrious forefathers." John Coventry was an opulent mercer of the city of Lon don, and mayor in 1425, a most spirited magistrate. From his loins is descended the Earl of Coventry. The family of Rich, Earls of Warwick and Holland, arose from Richard Rich, an opulent mercer, sheriff in 1441. he Holies's, Earls of Clare and Dukes of Newcastle, sprung from Sir William Holies, mayor in 1540, son of William Holies, citizen and baker. Sir Thomas Leigh, mayor in 1558, furnished the peerage with the addition of two, viz. Leigh, Earl of Chichester, and Leigh, Lord Leigh. of Stoneley. The Bouveries, Earls of Radnor, descend from Edward des Bouverie, an opulent Turkey merchant; died in 1694. Lord Ducie was descended from Sir Robert Ducie, sheriff in 1620, mayor in 1631 ; banker to Charles I. and afterwards created a baronet. Paul Bayning, sheriff in 1593, was father of Paul, created Viscount Bayning. The Cranfields, Earls of Middlesex, rose from Lionel Cranfield, a citizen, bred up in the custom-house. The Duke of Dorset is descended from Frances Cranfield, heiress of the third Earl. The noble family of Ingrain, Viscount Irwin (now repre sented by the Marchioness of Hertford), were raised in the reign of Elizabeth, by Hugh Ingram, citizen, merchant, and tallow-chandler. Sir Stephen Brown, mayor in 1438, was a grocer, and gave us another peer in the person of Sir Anthony Brown, created Viscount Montague, in 1554. The ancestor of the Legg.,es, Earls of Dartmouth, was mayor of London in 1347, and in 1357, having, in his trade a skinner, a tt a ined great wealth. Sir Geoffryi Bullen, mayor in 1458, was grandfather to Thomas Bullen, Earl of Wiltshire, father of Anna Bullen, and grandfather to Queen Elizabeth ; the highest genealo gical honour the city ever possessed. Sir Baptist Hicks, a mercer, founded the peerage of Campden. Sir 'William Capel, draper, mayor in 1503, founded- the noble family of Cape!, now Earls of Essex. Edward Osborne, mayor in 1583, was ancestor of the Dukes of Leeds. Michael Dormer, mercer, mayor in 1542, produced the future Lords Dormer. From Sir William Craven, merchant tailor, mayor in 1611, sprung the Earls of Craven. Lord Viscount Dudley and Ward is descended from Wm. Ward, a wealthy goldsmith in London, and jeweller to the Queen of Charles I. STUPENDOUS CABBAGE.—Mr. Morgan, of the King's Arms, Merthyr, on Wednesday morning last, cut a cabbage of a few weeks growth, which measured in circumference very nearly two and a halt yards; and weighed no less than twenty one and a quarter pounds. There is no doubt it would have reached a much larger growth, had Mr. Morgan allowed it a little more time; but having had his garden robbed lately he was afraid to trust such a prize any longer to the cupidity of rogueish cabbage-eaters. litiitobe hoped that no knight of the thimble is involved in this latter vharge.—Merrhyr . Guardian. DONE !—A. mat., in the dress of a workman, was lately walking in the streets of Berlin, with a packet in his hand, sealed with five seals, and inscribed with an address, and a' note that it contained 100 thalers in treasury bills. As the bearer appeared to be at a loss, he was accosted by a passen ger, who asked him whom he was looking for. The simple countryman placed the packet in the inquires's hands, and re quested he would read the address. The reply was made as if with an agreeable surprise, "Why ! this letter is for me. I have been expecting it a long while!" The messenger upon this demanded 10 thalers for the carriage of the packet, which was readily paid, with a liberal addition to the porter. The new possessor of the packet hastened to an obscure cor ner to examine his prize; but, on breaking the seals, found nothing but a few sheets of blank paper, on which was writ ten—" Done !" - FURIOUS ATTACK ON MR. ANIBURGH, OF ASTLEY . S, BY A TlGER,—Since Wednesday last, the principal topic of con versation in the theatrical world has been the furious attack made on Mr. Van Amburgh, whose exhibition at Astley's Royal Amphitheatre, of lions, tigers, leopards, and other ani mals in the forest, in the grand" zoological spectacle entitled the Lion Conqueror (f Pompeii, has excited within these few days past so much public attention. Van Amburgh has been styled by the phi/o/000s of the above equestrian establ:shment as the brute tamer, and certainly the appellation is well ap plied, as the following daring feat will prove,—for never was the courage or the presence of mind of man put to a severer test. It appears that on Wednesday last, a rehearsal was going on in the circus of the theatre, when Mr. Van Amburgh wishing one of his tigers to perform a certain feat, which the animal was utterly unable or unwilling to accomplish, had recourse to severe corporal punishment, which chastisement. he inflicted with a large horsewhip. Smarting tender the pain of the lash, the animal became incensed, and suddenly sprang upon Mr. Van Amburgh, who instantly was hurled with violence to the ground, from the strength and weight of his incensed assailant. Mr. Van Avaburgh, who is of Hercu lean caste, and possessing extraordinary muscular power, instantly perceived the intention of the animal, which was that of tearing him to pieces, and, with the courage and pre sence of mind which few men possess, seized his foe by the lip of the lower jaw, and thus pinioned him as a bull-dog; would an ox at a bait. A long and fearful strum7le now en sued, in the course of which both the man and tiger rolled over several times. At length Mr. Van Amburgh got the better of his foe by throwing him on his back, at the same time kneelin! , on his stomach, and, with his other hand, which was till now unengaged, commenced striking the pros trate animal with his clenched fist, the blows falling in quick succession over the head, face, and particularly the nose, until the blood flowed from the subdued animal, who here quivered under the grasp of his conqueror. At length Mr. Van Amburgh, perceiving that he had completely overcome him, released his hold; and the animal, finding 'himself at liberty, retired a short d istance front his master, and crouched down as if severely suffering from the punishment he had received. It may here be proper to mention, that the per formers (so we understooii) did not pay any attention to the struggle, considering that it was merely a rehearsal of the part to be played in the evening, until they saw him adminis tering the severe chastisement, as before described, to the enraged animal, and its efforts to compel Mr. Van Amburgh to release his hold. This encounter did not at all impede the entertaiments of the evening.—John Bull. WHIG-RADICAL CORRUPTION, [FROM BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.] ( Concluded from our last.) The patronage of a Ministry consists not, however, princi pally in places, however important—for honours, peerages , promotions, and ribands remain to be noticed. The:Whigs are very fond of charging upon Mr. Pitt and his party the heinous offence of having so increased the peerage between 1780 and 1823, that 'it was augmented in that time from 225 to 378 persons. Lord John Russell, in the essay from which we have quoted our motto, makes a great point of this matter. Now; we admit 150 peers is a large number to have been created in 40 years; but at the same time, it is but fair to add, that the period to which we allude, though compara tively short, was the era during which this country made greater strides than she had ever accomplished before, and during which the opulence and grandeur rose to au unexam pled pitch. Three hundred and seventy-eight peers, in 1823, bore a less proportion to the number of influential proprietors in the country, than 235 did in 1789, Moreover, it must be remembered, when Lord John Russell brings forward this charge, that several of these new peerages were Whig cre atious, prior to 1781, when Mr. Pitt came into office, and, in 1806, when all the talents reigned; and also, secondly, of the number of elevations during the glorious 40 years, a very large number were made for public services, without any, the slightest reference to political opinions. Such was the case with the peerages of Nelson, Collingwood, St. Vin cent, Duncan, Wellington, Combermere Lynedoch, Aber cromby, Beresford, Hill, Hutchinson, Rodney, Hood, Keith, Gardner, Gambier, Exmouth. and many more. Taking these circumstances into account, it will be found that, during the sway of the Tories, from 1781 till the time the Whigs came in separately in 1830, the number of peerages made, with a view to political purposes, was singularly small and limited. What, then, shall be said of the Whig-Radicals, who, after deploring the increase of 150 peers in 40 years, although scarcely 50 were elevated for mere Parliamentary purposes, have nut allowed eight years, since 1830, to pass without creating upwards of 60 new peerages for their par tisans? On looking over a list of the Whigs in the House of Lords, who do not altogether number more than 140 (minors included), we find the following connected with the administration, or bound to it by important obligations. We beg our readers to notice that these are exclusive of peers who have relatives in the ministry, as the Dukes of Bedford and Norfolk, the Marquis of Anglesea, Lorris Roseberry, Seaford, Besborough, and Carlisle; and to remember also the vast influence of many of the noblemen whom we shall mention—an influence, in the lower house, far more impor ant and more destructive of the independence of parliament, ban their own votes in the House of Lords. PLACTZMEN. Earl of Albemarle, Master of the Horse. Duke of Argyll, Lord Steward. Lord Auckland, Governor of India. Lord Byron, Lord in Waiting.* Marquis of Cunyngham, Lord Chamberlain.

Viscount Torrington, Lord in Waiting. Marquis of Winchester, Groom of the Stole. The 50 members we mentioned in the House - of Commons as being placeinen, only divided among them about £120,000 a-year; but here are no more than 28 •• pure old Whigs," who receive the small sum annually of £lBO,OOO ! Who will doubt the zeal of these noble lords in favour of the existing government ? In addition to these 28 persons, the following members of the right rev, bench in England have to thank the whigs for their elevation. The - Bishops Durham, Chi chester, Salisbury, Hereford, Norwich, Lichfiel d, Ri p on, and Ely. These also can have no great hostility in the Mel bourne government. Here, therefore, are 36 whig-enlight cued liberals accounted for; the subjoined lists will go far to make up the sum total of whig-radicalism in the House of Lords. Whig-Radicals who have received promotion in the Peer age since 1830: — Marquis of Ailsa. Earl of Durham. Marquis of Breadalbane. Earl of Effingham. Earl of Camperdown. Earl of Lovelace. Duke of Cleveland. Earl of Litchfield:t Earl of Ducie. Duke of Sutherland. Earl Granville. Marquis of Westminster. Earl of Zetland. Earl of Yarborough. Whig-Radicals who have been elevated to the British Peer. age by the Whigs. Some of these had Irish Peerages he re:— _ _ _ Lord Bateman. Lord Belhaven. Lord Broughain. Earl Bruce. Earl of Darlington. Lord Carew. Earl of Charlemont. Lord Cloucurry. Lord Cottenham. • Lord de Manley. Lord Dentuan. Lord Dinorben. Lord Duncannon. Lord Falkland, Earl of Fingal. Lord Glenelg, Lord Godolphin.

Lord Sudeley. Earl of Uxbridge. Marquis of Tavistock. Lord Western. Lord Wrottesley. Lord Langdale. Lord Vane. - To these we might add.the Duke of Leeds, Earl Cadogan, and the Earl of Derby, who were elevated to the Peerage previously to their accession to their present dignities; and when to these we add also the Papist Peers in Parliament, who are indeed the natural allies of the l present Ministry, and the minors, there remain very few Whig Noblemen who can be considered independent to their support of Lord Mel bourne's cabinet. Still fewer are those giving a zealous or constant support to it who can be considered unfettered. Some may allow the Premier the sanction of their names and do no more • o thers may remain neutral, and hesitate to declare for the other side; but we repeat few, very few, are those who are at once zealous and independent. We will illustrate this fact by one instance of recent occurrence. On the 3d of Au gust, the House of Lords divided on Lord Fitzgerald's amend ment to the Irish Tithe Bill. The number of Conservatives was 78, of Whigs 37, and there paired off in favour of the mi nority 17 ; making a total of 54 in favour of the Melbourne Ministry. The following is the list of them : those who are not placemen, and have not received their Peerages from the Whigs we print in capitals. There remain only nine inde pendent men ; and even of these the Dukes of Somerset and Norfolk, and the Earl of Carlisle, have their sons in the Mi nistry, and thereby are bound indirectly to assist it, and are interested in its preservation.

Here, then, are 54 noblemen voting on an important ques ion, and only nine of them are not dependent for favours or )lace; only six even of that number being completely free! How earnestly desirous these Whigs have proved themselves not to swamp or degrade the Peerage ! How chary of using "the influence of the Crown !" They have only made 60 Peers in eight `ears; they have only pitchforked that mode rate number to swell their miserable minority. We question much if without those 60 men in buckram, their largest mino rity, on the most important divisions in the upper house would be 40; and we own, when we consider the vast machi nery and means ofcorruption now in use, and in unscrupulous bands, we think the House of Lords has high title to credit; seeing that despite all temptation to tergiversation and to submission to the Whigs, the independent unpaid conserva tive majority, so far from dwindling away, is increasing year by year. Whatever may be done in the uof e x o u m r Ln i o t a n u s , t by baronetcies, ribands,commissions, peera,s a estimates, e u tr o ejc r rejoice, eth colonialethat jobs, w ande h augmentedaveyet a age, r o n g: wecannot b bu l wark , t and hou ag hremnantminister of d like L e p p r e d n (I .d e i n e t l b P o a u r r l inaem mayent and ; be enabledtherefo therefore, realize Lord John Russell's portrait, and compel the so vereign to retain him by holding in terrorem the threat of a factious majority in the House of Commons, ready one year to sanction, and the next to abandon, an appropriation clause, there is at present no prospect of the same threat being em ployed with reference to any man's power in the House of Lords. But that this prospect continues to us, is no fault of Lord Melbourne's, and is no oversight of the whig party. Both have done their best to extend corruption into the Upper House, but hitherto they have signally failed. It only re mains fur the people of the country to counteract the insidi ous and more successful attacks on the independence of the House of Commons, by watching narrowly every job; by rejecting every perpetrator at the poll; and by adding con tempt to rejection in the case of every member who has sold his vote for a baronetcy, or his silence fora brother's promo tion. Such men there may be, even in the reformed Parlia ment; such men there must be, for we can never believe that independent or honest men would go down night after night to the House of Comincins to cheer a demagogue like O'Connell, or to suppport a ministry that temps the scorn of Europe. We can believe this of none but the venal, and, therefore, when we discover whig-radical corruption, we easily account for its ne cessity, while we heartily despise the ministers who will stoop t o hold office on such mean and trembling grounds, that nothing hut venality can uphold, and none but the selfish defend them, Still more heartily do we despise these puppets of statesmen when we find them, with an hypocrisy only . equal to their avarice, pretend to a superiority of public virtue, and keep more honourable men than themselves out of office, under the fraudulent pretext that in so doing they are saving the eciantry from untivinciplecl atisi-corrupt: rularg. Like-Judas, they keep the bag, and they keep it for themselves. And these, forsooth, are the men who prated about " the influence of the crown," who deplored the increase of the peerage, and who bragged that they would carry on the government on pure principles, without patronage! These, too, are the lillferals, the men of purity and economy, the reformers of abuses, the opponents of corruption, peculation and intrigue ! • In bewailing the influence of the Crown, Lord John Russell mourns the sad fate of a Lord of the Bedchamber, dismissed by the Ministry, in 1822, for his vote on the malt tax. What will he say now, having been a member of the. Cabinets that dismissed Lord Howe from his office of Chamberlain to the Queen, and Lord Charles Fitzroy from his place of Treasurer of the Household, for no greater offence ? It is to be regretted that his Lordship ever be came an author; he has done damage to no one but his publisher and himself. + One or two Peers are mentioned twice, first as placemen, and afterwards as having received promotions in the Peerage, or eleva tion to it. But this is merely done for convenience sake, and only shows that there are some held by a double bond—both of interest and gratitude. They have descended gradually downwards till they can exist only by. purchasing the smiles of a mendicant at the expense of the patronage of Ireland, and by widening the circle of Ministerial influence through every artifice the most corrupt minister of ancient days invented or employed. To this have they come at last, with all their fine professions, their essays on English government, their articles in the Edin burgh Review, their motions on the influence of the crown, and their calculations of the extent of patronage fresh in the recollection of the people they have deluded. Yet what care they fur the memory of the past or the shame of the present hour, so long as they can cling to places and pocket pay? They have deluded the nation, but even more to that nation's than their own. What excuse has any man for allowing himself to be duped by a Palmerston, taken in by a Mel bourne, or entrapped by a Glenelg? But then, perhaps we may hear some whig,, blinded to all sense by party spirit, and ignorant of all necessary informa tion, put in here a claim for mitigation of censure, by assert ing that if hundreds of offices have been created (as no one will ever deny) many have been abolished. It is sometimes the pleasure of whig journals to prate boldly about reductions and retrenchments and so forth. Now we are quite content to take the issue on this point, and to inquire into these boasted and patriotic proceedings. We hear of reductions made by the whiffs. We ask, what have they reduced ? The yeomanry, of which they had not the patronage. But what have they increased? The army, the navy, the legal situa tions, the commissions, and some of the public offices of which they have the control; and, not content with this, they have made new modes of employing partisans, as we have before described, in every part of the country. We hear of retrenchments. We ask, what have they retrenched? Cer tainly not the public expenditure; perhaps their own duties. Of the expenditure it is only needful to say that for the year 1838 it will be nearly £53,000.000; just about £1,000,900 more than the year 1835. We have no hesitation whatever in declaring that the expense of carrying on the government at this present moment, independently, of course, of the charge fur interest on the national debt, is considerably more than in 1832, when a motion was brought forward im peaching the Liverpool administration. Lord Londonderry then stated that expense to be £18,000,000 per annum; a sum less than is at present yearly devoted to our establish ments. If the Whigs have neglected to retrench this enor mous charge they have failed not from want of good examples. Mr. Pitt abolished 416 places, with salaries of £265,748, and all these unconnected with the collection of the revenue, while he created only 197, with salaries of £77,000. - ' 4 In the revenue department, though compelled to increase taxation with the progress of the war, and so to extend also the num ber of places in the excise and the customs, he yet, with a rigid hand, curtailed every unnecessary expense ' and abolish ed in the salt department alone NO places. How does it happen that the reforming ministers we are now blessed with have not attempted to do likewise? Lord John Russell enu merates, under the following several hands, the various means of exerting crown influence. t , I. The Collection of the Revenue. E The Civil List and the Subordinate Offices of Civil Government. 3. The Colonies. 4. The Army, Navy, Ordnance, &c. 5. The Law. 6. The Qhurch. 7. The influence of Honours. All these things still exist, and are still used by the govern ment for their political and party purposes. If they afforded such ground for jealousy and suspicion in 1822, bow does if happen that now, when each several department is increased in its operation on the independence of Parliament, when there are more placemen than ever, that we hear no murmur from the Constitutional Whigs, and catch no whisper of regret or anxiety ! How does it happen that we find in the Navy List the names of young persons in command of vessels who are notorious for nothing but relationship to Whig partisans? Among-the most recent pramotions we find the Hon. Henry Keppell, Edward Stanley, the Hon. Joseph Denman, the Hon. Byron Cary, the Hon. Frederick Pelham, the Hon. Dudley - Pelham, Thomas Eden, Adam Caruperdown Duncan, Granville Lock, William Henry Quin, Robert Otway, Lord Francis Russell, George Elliot, Lord Henry Russell, the Hon. Edward Howard, the Hon. George Plunkett, Edward Troubridge, the Hon. Chas. Elliot, the Hon. Admiral Elliot, and very many more Twvdsons, D'Eyncourts, Pagets, Beau clerks, Carnacs, Codringtons, Greys, &c., whose names alone sufficiently and satisfactorily account for the display of Mi nisterial interest in their welfare. On glancing at the list of flag-officers employed, we find only - 12, and of that small number the following approved Whigs : Lord Ainelius Beauclerk, uncle of the Duke of St. Alban's. Sir Robert Otway, uncle of the member for Tipperary. Sir Charles Paget, brother of Lord Anglesea. Sir John Ommany, the defeated whig candidate for Hamp shire. submission. It is highly to the honour of the age, that this wretched and unscrupulous ministry, notwithstand►ng all its false professions and misused patronage, is now sinking lower and lower in influence, and ►s dependent for its permitted power on the condescension or contempt of its opponents. The fact proves that we are sound in core, though many may have been converted by corruption. Peerages may have been thrown away, but still the county members are more and more, year after year, against the ministry; baronetcies, places, and favours are lavishly offered, but the petty majority in the House of Commons ►s fast dw►ndling away at each successive casual election. We feel convinced that nothing remains to do but for the conservatives to continue firm and united, ex posing not only the imbecility, but also the frauds of, the Cabinet. It will then be known, through the length and breadth of the land, that these pseudo-patriots who have pro mised so much and performed so little, have gained power only to abuse it, and have held it long only to deprive the country of the services of honest men and able statesmen. SELECT EXTRACTS. Hon. George Elliot, brother of Lord Minto. Hon. D. Bouverie, brother of the Earl of Radnor. Among the commanders of the ships in commission, are a few equally distinguished by Whig names, and favoured by Whig connexions. We merely select a few, of the most glaring experiments : Britannia, 120 guns, Captain Dundas. Britomart, 10 guns, Lieutenant Owen Stanley. Champion, 18 guns, Commander G. King. Charybdis, 3 guns, Hon. Robert Gore. Cleopatra, 26 guns. Hon. George Grey. Columbine, 16 guns, George Elliot. Counts, 18 guns, Hon. P. P. Cary. Conway, 28 guns, Captain Bethune. Griffon, 3 guns, Lieutenant D'Urban. Harlequin. 16 guns, Commander Lord F. Russell. Hastings, 74 guns, Captain Loch. Howe, 120 guns, Captain Paget. Lynx, 3 guns, Lieutenant Broadhead.. Magicienne, 24 guns, Captain G. St. John Mildmay. Pearl, 20 guns, Lord Clarence Paget. Rodney, 92 guns, Captain Hyde Parker. Rover, 18 guns, Commander Eden. Royal Adelaide, 104 guns, Sir William Elliot. Royalist, 10 guns, Hon. E. Plunkett. Russell, 74 guns, Sir William Dillon. San Joseph, 110 guns, Charles Seale. Scylla, 16 guns, Hon. Joseph Denman. Talbot, 28 guns, Captain Codrington. Tweed, 20 guns, Hon. F. Pelham. Wasp, 16 guns, Hon. 1). Pelham. Wolf, 10 gulls, Edward Stanley. Wolverine, 16 guns, Hon. E. Howard. The promotion of most of these 'fortunate and libera gentlemen has been singularly rapid, and their employment almost constant and unceasing. The vessels they command form no inconsiderable portion of the whole naval force in commission; and if so, how few ships remain for the veterans. who fought for their country before many of these " honou r ables" were born ! Truly,lord Minto has "reformed" the naval service in a peculiar and effectual nihnner; he has introduced a degree of patronage and favouritism never attempted before; a system which, if it had been acted on during the war, would have consigned the bulwarks of the nation, to inexperienced hands, and probably have ruined not only the service, but the cause it was required to defend. It was not by such a system the unfriended Nelsons, Coiling woods,-and Rodneys gained the opportunities of fame. But tempore mutantur ; we play at war on the coast of Spain, and it requires no heroes to win bloodless victories. Nelson was not more fitted' to conquer at Trafalgar, or Wellington at Waterloo, than any defeated whig candidate is now at Barce lona, or General Evans at Fontarniti and Irun. An attack on a Sardinia schooner, or a grand movement against a few Carlist guerillas, is all that is expected now-a-days from our navy and our legions; it is perfectly right, therefore, that ministers should prove that• they consider that any one can execute tasks so mighty and important. We might proceed to examine in detail other departments, but we refrain from doing so. We have mentioned enough to call attention to the subject of whig-radical corruption, and we trust that another session of Parliament will not be allowed to pass without the extortion from the ministry of a complete list of all the new places created since 1830, the per sons filling them, and the salaries apportioned to each. It will be found by such returns, that under the pretence of ex tending the system of centralization, the amount of govern ment patronage has been augmented more than in any pre ceding eight years during the whole history of the country. It will be seen that - every charge formerly levelled by . the whigs for factious purposes, and with fratidulent professions against their political opponents, applies now with redoubled force to themselves, and strikes them severely with a back handed blow. For instance, it used to, be the whig practice to select certain families fur inviduous notice, and hold them up to public odium, by representing them as fastened on nu merous places, and gorging with ill-gotten gains. But we ask if ever a family thus made the object of vituperation, displayed a nepotism and grasping selfishness equal to the whig families of Grey, Elliot, Adam or Ponsonby ? A list of the Greys in places once went the round of the papers, and even now, though Dr. Grey, Bishop of Hereford, is dead, and Earl Grey and Mr. Edward' Ellice have retired from office, makes a tolerable appearance. We may mention as specimens of these patriots, Viscount Howick, Secretary at War ; Hon. Colonel Grey, commanding 71 st Regim e nt; Hon. Grey, Rector of the rich royal living of Wooler ; Hon. Frederick Grey, Under-Secretary of the War Depart ment; Sir George Grey, Under-Secretary in the Colonial Department; Hon. Fiancis Grey, Rector, with a valuable living; Hon. Barry Grey, Aide de-Camp in Ireland ; lion. Sir Henry Grey, General; and Colonel of a regiment in the army; Mr. Charles Wood, (son-in - law of Lord Grey.) .a:c cretary of the Admiralty; Mr. F. T. Baring, (married a niece of Lord Grey,) Secretary to the Treasury; Earl of Durham, (son-in-law of Lord Grey,) Governor of .Canada; Lord Ponsonby, (brother-in-law of Grey,) Ambassador to Constantinople; Mr. E. Ellice, jun., (nephew of Lord Grey,) Secretary of Lord Durham, &c. We believe the Elliots make a still better show; nor are the' Howaris, Rus sells, and Abercromhies quite forgotten. The judges they have made, after all their flue promises of rewarding merit, and merit only, are those on the bench who have had least practice as counsel, and are least learned and efficient as in terpreters of the law; we refer to the Williarnses and Colt mans, whose political principles were their sole ostensible recommendations. In the church they have dispensed their patronage amongst the Bishops in a manner to which we have already alluded, and, not content with this, have sought out as recipients of other favours only anti-church-rate agita tors, such as Dr. Joynes, of Rochester, and Dr. Knox. of Tunbridge, of pamphleteering and political dinner-speaking notoriety. And then in the colonies they send a Lord Dur ham to Canada, with Messrs. Charles and Arthur Buller, Thomas Turton, Thomas Duncombe, and Edward Gibbon Wakefield; and to New South Wales, Sir Maurice O'Con• nell, a fit and proper instrument for carrying out that infidel system of education which is adopted to please the Eonian Catholic emigrants, and against which the excellent Bishop L B o r o rd ug E h t i o p n h u a s s i o i in e vain e p ryooteusttheiut cornet doifa Life l t Guards, se as governor of the important settlement of'Madras; and with nt and discretion, by :a m t r e Ca d 'S . it seoxoq,ugiseist,e dhiasvceritudiisnia)ltalyoend, while their appointingiudgme these notable per. recalling Sii• John Colborne, who saved Lower !)

With more materials in our possession, a much stronger case than we have here made out, (although this statement is perhaps amply sufficient) might easily be produced against the whigs. But, in truth, it is not easy to discover all their sinuous windings and all their extended and increasing cor ruption. It would be desirable to be able to ascertain the exact number of Roman catholic chaplains and schoolmasters now paid by the British government in India and the other colonies. The number is not small, nor their influence insignificant The publication, too, of such a return as we have suggested, of all the newly•created places, would also be beneficial; but in the absence of the necessary documents from whence information on this subject can be gained, we are left more to generalities and conjectures than we could aestra: --- Stet enough remainsvand - errottgirxre trope has been stated in this paper to prove that the whig party have long been striving to strengthen themselves by the unscrupulous abuse of patronage, and even by the extension of ministerial influence in every . possible direction. It is natural to a weak government that it should be tempted to the use of arts a Strong one can neglect, and an honest one would despise. And in proportion to the increasing weakness of its position, and the experienced failure of former intrigues, must be the increased temptation to fresh and extended corruption. The Melbourne ministry, then, which hitherto has been tottering in increasing imbecility; which never enjoyed public respect, and, therefore, had no inducement to struggle to retain it; which has found session after . session end in greater weakness, trick after trick issue in new disappointment, must now in its decline and approaching fall, in its distress rising to despair, be peculiarly tempted to preserve its contemptible existence by bartering places for votes, and honours for neutrality or * Rose on the influence of the crown. t Lord John Russell on English Government, p. 40. AN ENGLISH SPORTSMAN IN TIIE HOLY LAND.—Stopping at Tiberias, told us that a European had arrived during the night. I hunted him out, and found him to be an English man, as I afterwards' learned, a merchant of Damascus, and a sportsman, equipped with shooting-jacket, gun, dog, &c. He was in a miserable hovel, and having just risen, was sitting apart from the Arab family; his rug and coverlet were lying on the mud floor not yet roled up, and he seemed in a most rueful mood, objurgating all travel for pleasure, and whistling earnestly " There's no place like home." I knew his humour; fur I had often felt it myself, and could hardly keep from laughing. He was not more than half dressed, and reminded me of the caricature of an English man standing in his nether garment, with a piece of cloth in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other, as not being resolved after what fashion to have his coat. cut. We spent half an hour together, and parted. He was an old stager, and did not travel for scenery, associations, and all that; but he could tell every place where he had bagged a bird, from Damascus to the sea of Galilee.—Stephens's Incident of Travel. Wnxeonn, the county town, is situated on a large and ca pacious bay, into which the Slaney discharges its waters. The bay has a defined elliptical shape; its seaward sides being botinded by long sandy ridges, formed by the action of •the sea. These vast accumulations of sand extend for many miles; and, approaching each other, leave only a narrow inlet to the bay. It has a considerable export trade in cattle and agricul; tural produce, and possesses 109 registered vessels, the tonage of which is 6,750 tons. Owing, however, to a bar at the mouth of the harbour, vessels above 200 tons burthen cannot enter it (even at spring tides) without being lightened of a part of their cargo. The town is of great antiquity, and as far as can be inferred from the earliest historical notices concerning it, was a maritime settlement of the Danes, and is mentioned by its present name in records not long subsequent to the con quest of Ireland by Henry 11. The traces of the old walls may be seen around the town . . With the exception of the quay the principals streets are very narrow, and ill adapted for business; but the town is comparatively clean and orderly, and can tiniest of a great number of highly respectable inhabi tants. The public buildings are the County Court-house, Gaol, Infirmary, Fever Hospital, House of Industry, and Lu natic Asylum, and various municipal offices connected with the town. There are two Churches—St. Iberius and St. Selsker ; several Roman Catholic Chapels; two small Meet ing-houses for Dissenters: and various large schools, inclu ding St. Peter's College foi the ethication of Catholic divinity students. Notwithstanding the obstacles presented by the bar, commerce is increasing. Two steamers ply regularly to and from Liverpool; and the shipping interest has been greatly promoted by the erection of Morton's patent slip and a ship-building yard, by Mr. Redmond. The principal manu facture is malt, and some years ago from 70 to 80,000 barrels were annually made. There is a large Distillery, and a great deal is done in the general provision trade. The ecclesias tical ruins are those of the Priory, and St. Mary's church, which though small, are of elegant workmanship. The wooden bridge and embankments (together extending 2,100 feet,) and crossing the arm of the bay, running up to the quay, is a striking feature. Wexford has long been noted for ;he qua lity; quantity, and cheapness of its provisions; and certainly, in the preparation of butter, poultry, &c. for market, the farmers of this neighbourhood, greatly excel. The environs of Wexford are hilly, very picturesque, and considerably im proved.—Frazer's Guide through Ireland. ENNISCORI'HY, as Mr. Inglis observes, has an ancient look about it. It is situated on the side of a steep hill, and the old castle, grey towers, church, and wooded banks, the parsonage and Rock-hill plantations, and the eastern heights, form a striking assemblage of objects. The Slaney, which flows through the town, is so far a tide river, and navigable for small craft, from Wexford. The town is principally on the western bank of the Slaney, and carries on a good trade in the export of corn, &c. 'there is a large brewery and i distillery n the immediate neighbourhood. Near the town is Vinegar Hill, where the insurgents were encamped in 1798, when routed by General Lake. The various lines of road leading to this place, which have - been lately made, the lowering of the bridge in the town, and the contemplated deepening of the river, so as to render it navigable for larger craft from Wexford, must add much to the improvement of Enniscorthy. We would advise the traveller to ascend Vinegar Hill, from whence he will readily obtain a correct knowledge of the surrounding country; and the course of the river Slaney for a considerable distance above and below the town. Westward, that portion of the county Wexford which is bounded on the north by the Mount Leinster, and Blackstairs mountains, and on the south, by the Forth hills, diversified intermediately by the hills of Bree, Rahenahoun, Camrosc, Carrickburn, and Lacken.—Fraser's Guide through Ireland. NEWTOWNBARRY is situated in a deep, wooded valley through which flows the Slaney; and although there is much to regret, as regards many of the houses, on the score of in attention to neatness and comfort, there is much to admire in its general appearance. A number of respectable people have located in and around it, and there is a comfortable inn and excellent post-horses. The. cottage and beautifully planted grounds of Lord Farnham's demesne, adjoining the village;—the extensive plantations and neighbouring villas; the meandeting of the Slaney;—the detached conical hills; the Wieklow mountains on the east; and the westward the lofty ranges of Mount Leinster and Blackstairs, render the scenery around this little place highly interesting. A little to the right of the town, on the Ross-road, are tire slate quarries; the slates, however, are of an inferior kind. — Fraser's Guide through Ireland. ANIMALS IN AFRICA.—An the large wild animals are to be found in the Namaqua country; but elephants are now several days' journey east of the Fish river. Lions are everywhere found, most of which are of the usual light brown colour, whilst others are entirely black. with long hair; a third sort is white; a fourth has stripenegs; like those of a. tiger; and a fifth has a white neck. I saw the common lion, and part of a white one; the others I heard of from the natives, and I feel confident that they exist. The two-horned rhinoceroses, both black and white, are now found in the upper parts of the Fish river; zebras are everywhere in the land; beautiful spotted panthers;' plenty of giraffes ortame leopards, buffaloes, koodos, geinboks, elands, hartibeests, klipspringers, springboks, and others of the deer tribe; hye nas, wild boars, jackals, polecats, Tate, and mice. are in great abundance. The larger birds are ostriches, eagles , vultures, bustards, cranes, pheasants, and guinea fowl. There is a great variety of small birds, particularly along the constant waters of the Fish river. Snakes and serpents are in plenty, but fortunately there are very few mosquitoes. The people are not much tormented with the plague of insects, except with those which multiply from habits of neglect, and with a troublesome and small red-bodied tormentor with eight legs, called a bush-louse.—Alexander's Expedition of Discovery. THE FIELD OF AGINCOURT.—Those who travel to Paris by way of St Omer and Abbeville pass over the field of the battle, which skirts the high road to the left, about sixteen miles beyond St. Omer; two on the Paris side of . a consider able village, or bourg, named Fruges; about eig h t nor t h of the fortified town df liesdia ; and thirty from Abbeville. All accounts of the battle mention the hamlet of Russeauville, through which very place the high road to Paris now passes. Aziucour is a commune or parish, consisting of a most un. interesting Collection of farmers' residences and cottages, once, however, distinguished by a castle, of which nothing now remains but the foundation. The scene of the contest lies between this commune and the adjoining one of 'frame cour, in a wood belonging to which latter the king concealed those archers whose prowess and vigour contributed so emi nently to the glorious result. Part of the wood still remains, though, if I remember tightly, at the time of our visit the corner into which the bowmen were thrown had been mate rially thinned; if, indeed, the original timber had not been entirely cut down, and its place been scantily supplied by brush or underwood. Some of the trees, however, in the wood of Tramecour were very old in 1816. The road above mentioned is the great post-road; the old road, now degene rated into a mere cart tract from Abbeville to the once cele brated city of Therouenne, passes over the scene of action, and must have been that by which the French army reached the ground hefore the English, who bad been compelled to make a great circuit.---Ingtis's Memoirs of Henry V. A FEMALE Vocaus . r AND DUELIST.—Among the singers of that period, who are mentioned by French writers, there are none whose names are worthy of being preserved on ac count of their talents. One of them, however, La Maupin, the successor of La Itochois, may be noticed on account of her wild and lawless character, and the strangeness of her adventures. She was born in 1673, and married at a very early age, but soon ran away with a fencing master, from whom she learned the use of the small sword. After remain ing fur some times at Marseilles, where she narrowly escaped the punishment of being burnt alive for setting fire to a con vent, she went to Paris, appeared on the Opera stage at the age of 22, and was for a considerable time the reigning fa vourite of the day. Having on some occasion been affronted by Dumeni. a singer, she put on male attire, watched for him in the Place de Victoires, insisted on his drawing his sword and fighting her, and on his refusing, caned him, and took his watch and_ snuff-box. Next day.-Dumeui havinit boasted in the Operu-house that he had defended himself against three men who had attempted to rob hint, she told the whole story, and produced his watch and snuff-box in proof of her having chastised him as a coward. Thevenard, another singer of note, was nearly treated in the same manner, and had no other way of escaping but by publicly begging her pardon, after hiding himself in the Palais Royal for three weeks. At a ball given by Monsieur, the brother of Louis XIV., she appeared in men's clothes, and having behaved impertinently to a lady, was called out by three of her e n e r g c a ( ru some friends. Instead of avoiding the combat, by discovering her sex, she drew her sword and killed all the three, and then t s Eu i e lre u ec r i swrh of f o wß i e i a b n‘ t .t.a a t i re n i a e l3. d r u h Ts e sh r ei Iss p , P a l n o e n cr eei shh A aev f t bi returned very coolly to the ball-room, told the story to Mon other adven rssfeolf thethe e itt m ed ist h r e e Countess of Arcos, sent her by that lady's husband a purse of 40,000 livres, with an order to quit Brussels. But this singular heroine threw the purse at the Count's head, telling him that it was a recompense worthy of such a contemptible scoundrel as himself. She afterwards returned to the Pa risian stage, which she left in 1705. The conclusion of such a life is not the least extraordinary part of it. She became at last very devout; and having recalled her husband, from whom she had been long separated, lived with him in a pious manner till her death, in 1707, at the age of 34. Such is the history of this woman • given by Laborde and other writers; and, strange as it is, there seems no reason for doubting its truth.—Memoirs of the Musical Drama, by Ho garth. PHOSPHORESCENCE OF THE OCEAN.—About the middle of the month of April, in lat. S. 45. north, and long. 21, 02. west, during the day, large quantities of a beautiful pink medusa (a species of jelly fish) were taken in the towing net, and at night the ocean was brilliantly illuminated, which luminosity continued until about eight p.m. after which time it had almost totally disappeared. During the time the phosphoresence was visible, the medusa before mentioned was captured in large numbers; but on the disappearance of of the luminosity, no more were caught, evidently showing, that the phosphorescence of the sea was occasioned by their presence. When the ocean appeared brilliantLy luminous, besides the animals producing the phosphoresence, several crustaceous animals and a number of small fish were usually taken in large quantities. The presence of these may pro ceed from their being attracted by the phosphoric light. Sometimes, during heavy rains within the tropics, the sea would become sufficiently luminous, as rapidly passing off again, and the effect of the sudden transition was exceeding ly splendid to the beholders. During its continuance, lumi nous species of Snipes Beroi Pyrosoma, and other molluses, were captured in the towing. On placing some of theie lu minous medusa in a bucket of water, the phosphoric light was not emitted from any one particular part of the animal, but commenced at different points. Upon spieezing the animal, the hands became covered with a profusion of the luminous secretion, which could be communicated from one object to another.--;-Bennett's VoyagefrontEisfand to Sydney. • • BOULOGNE, Sept. who shot Mr. Mirfin, is here, at the Hotel Bedford. ANIMAL MAGNETISM.—In the Lancet. of the Ist instant, Mr. Wakley has detailed a long series of experiments per formed on Elizabeth and Jane O'Key, to test the reality of mesmerism, or animal magnetism. The girls were under ex periment from nine in the morning until ten in the evening, and there did not exist among the spectators two opinions as to the character and causes of the symptoms which they had manifested. Aiter the girls had departed, Mr. Wakley de clared, that in his view the effects which were said to arise from what had been denominated "animal magnetism," con stituted one of the completest delusions that the human mind ever entertained. The experiments fully proved the truth of this opinion, and plainly showed that mesmerism is one of the most outrageous instances of quackery and humbug ever sought to be palmed upon the public. A month's exercise on the treadmill would perhaps cure the tools of the mayne tizers of again trying to impose on general credulity. Erticitigencr. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11.

We have had a large supply of Beasts at market to-day, and the quality being only middling, the sales were brisk for Beef of first quality, hut we cannot note any material alteration in prices from our last week's quotations. The supply of Sheep has been only small for the time of the year, and good NVethers area little in ad vance ; those of middling quality and-Ewes much the same as last week. The Lambs were but few, and sold up readily at from Gd to 61d per lb. Good Beef sold readily at Gil vaiving from that down to 4jd according to quality, and principally all sold up. those that remained unsold being of a very inferior sort. Good Wether Mut ton was sold without difficulty at 7d down to Gid ; second quality and Ewes at 6(1; and but few left unsold, which were all of mid• filing quality.

At the close of our circular on Tuesday last, we stated we had then fine weather, with an appearance of its so continuing ; but on Wednesday morning we had a recurrence of heavy rain, succeeded by a sultry forenoon with little Sunshine,—the same on Thursday. —and Friday was a very bad day in every respect; we had in con sequence at our market that day a much better demand for Wheat, Oats and Oatmeal at a small imororement on the recent decline, particularly for fine fresh sweet Foreign Wheat, which may now be considered free;—since that day there has been very little rain in the nights, and it has been fair in the day time, but exceedingly cold, more so by eight or ten degrees than in the early part of the past week, and although this has checked the tendency to sprouting, and may be useful to the grain cut and in stooks, it cannot be fa vourable for bringing to natural and proper maturity a very consi derable portion of Grain—particularly of Wheat, still green and far from ripeness throughout this district and to the northward ; in the Corn markets of London, Yorkshire, and Manchester of the past week, there was no activity, and little alteration in prices; the ac counts of the progress of harvest in the south of England, and throughout Ireland, are favourable, and they are much more for ward than we are. The arrivals of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland and Coastways have been very small; two•thirds of the Wheat Coastways in the last, and present import note, arc Foreign in bond from London, and the imports direct from Foreign Ports are increasing weekly The duty on Wheat from Foreign Ports is this week, as antici pated reduced 4s per quarter, on Flour 2s 5d per barrel, and on Rye Is 6d per quarter, on other Grain no alteration ; on Friday next, the 14th instant, the duty on Wheat will almost to a certainty he further reduced Is 8d per quarter. when the lowest duties of Is per quarter on Wheat, and 7d per barrel on Flour will be payable, and all Wheat and Flour in the United Kingdom will be released for home use ; a weekly return of 69s 2d, with the fractions, will ac complish this; and it must fall below 63s 30 to prevent the duty from continuing at 2s 80 ; therefore very little Wheat or Flour will he released until Friday, excepting what may be have sold to millers whose stocks are totally exhausted ; we shall therefore affix no quotations to those articles in bond for some time to come. We estimate the quantity of Foreign Wheat in bond here, and on board vessels now in our docks, which will be released for home-use, at about 170,000 quarters ; of Flour about 65,000 barrels. three-fourths of which are old and sour ; and in the United Kingdom it is esti mated there may be about 800,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat which will be thus released. Yesterday and to-day we have fine seasonable weather, with every appearance of its being really settled ; notwithstanding which at this day's market there was a better demand than expected for the finest Wheat, Oats, Flour abd Oatmeal, and although the prin cipal millers and dealers have recourse to their own recent . pur chases of Foreign Wheat bought very sparingly, sales to a fair ex tent were made to some of them, and several cargoes were sold to speculators at fully the prices of this day week, and we can make little or no difference in last week's quotations; some small par cels of new Irish Wheat appeared of very fair quality, but in very soft condition, and were sold at the prices affixed.
