m A - ucsT 7, 1835. .• , Bromley - also in his behalf, came to an unaninious decision, with the exception.of one -dissentient, to tho effect, that Dr. Warren having, by his Various .publications and speeclies_, well as his unwarrantable and most . ujust aspersions of Con ference, the Manchester District Committee, 'and various other preachers ; having also concurred in forming and actively Promoting the Ce n tral Association, which is at varizonce with the constitution of the Wesleyan Methodist Society, and doingy, several other things contrary to his duty as a member of thA body, (with which most of our readers must be perfectly con versant,) that he be expelled the society. The president after wards wrote an official note to Dr. Warren, lamenting the un pleasant duty which devolved upon him in communicating the resolution of the Conference, stating that he had done so .to prevent the doctor the pain of appearing in person to receive the decisiOni but that if the doctor preferred it he was at liberty to attend. The doctor, we believe, has, in reply, signitied,his intention to present himself. We have been informed that Dr. Warren, during his defence, stated his determination to stand or fall by the Central Association; therefore, it appears. to us, that the Conference - had •no alternative but either to expel the doctor, or methodism.must be completely altered in its principle and character.—Shtffield .Mercury, Aug. 1.

'Several Enelp elroly accidents happened, and according to our yearling a murder 'MRS corn-Int - Med.:- --it tg ha vett rthe walk ing ceremonies of the:day had passed, a troop of light dragoons had gone to dine_at a tavern." After'diriner a riot took place, Ir► which a cornet of the troop struck a magistrate a terribleblow which killed him on the spot. The only other . event which created a sensation was the capture of a sea serpent. ThiS must - be gratifying intelligence to our wonderful contemporary of the Mein.‘ - cur'y.

Tho following is what they call duelling in the land of liberty. •We in-our plain way call it - rnitrder:- • • correspndent writes, us as follows, under date of July.l : An affray took place yesterday afternoon, at. Chuckatuck, in IsTansetnond•County, between two highly respectably young gentieinen; ,Mr. Samuel . Whitfield, jtin.,:und Mr. William A• P.

'l' kiti nit informed of all the particulars Of this tragedy, but learn that. the parties have been in hostile relation' towards each other for some months: - and withiri:that time challenges hid .passed between them - but .no personal meeting could be effected. Yesterday afternodn they met easuallyat Chuckattick, when'they'dreW their pistols and fired. „ Cowper teasshot through the body aiid died immediately. At - stage . of the affair; Mr. Josiah C. Parker, the brother of Cowper, fired his piatol at • Whitfield, the bait of which passed through W., and killed a free negro man who happened to be standing near him. Parker . soon After fled, and came on board the Kentucky in 'the James River, this day, and passed - on . in the steam-boat to Baltimore.' " We have duce heard othercletails of this lamentable'occur rence, which confirms the above statement, and are more dr- cumstantial:but as no cfne can well be a passive spectator on such an occasion They must be received with many grains of allowance. lt is said that Cowper saw Whitfielttin - the act or itssiiting a lady to enter her carriage, and immediately after 'shot at him, the ball grazing his arm, Whitfield then drew a Pistol, and was in the act of firing at Cowper, when the latter deelaring. himself unarmed, the former waited till he had re loaded his pistol, and then fired'and shot hint through the body. When Cowper fell; Josiah C., Parker stepped fot ward to Whit.' field and shot hint through the abdomen, and, as we before siid, the ball entered the body a free tieg,ro man, wlio was killed instantaneously. The scene of action is represented as ni os t horrible—presenting the' view of three men, who were, - live, annutes before, in the prime of life and strength, lying at a few Paces from ea. 441, other,, weltering in .their gore."

The Chronicle says that the lords deny to the.people the benefit of their " im provedrepresentation.7 We, say in answer to this, that the municipal"bill is an outrage upon the reform bill, and that the ‘4 improVernenr. it proposes is a denial of justice .to the Poor man—that it robs. him; his sons, and his apprentices of the political franchise--.4hat it shuts . the ilOor igailist the humble operative—and that •it restricts his right of voting to a household qualification; ; which Lo r d JQHN'RUSSELL and :JOSEPH PARKES knOIN , HE-DAN NOV.POSSItLY AFFORD TO OCCUPY: The corporation bill,p.rOfesses tkgive the right of voting to a loWer grade of householders paying poor rates; but it hotorionsly:dis , qualifies apoor min-,from voting at elections fOr his repres6ntatives in parliament.

Lord AlstnorrtNE• and Lord BROUGHAM in the House of Lord's, look fOr all the world like two Oldham cOtton spinners .sitting facing each other in a rowing boat, 'and pulling different ways. On Tuesday night the.exhibition was highly ludicrous. No wonder the theatres are on the decline, seeing that there is so much fun and : drollery in both houses of parliament. But to our tale:- On Tuesday evening the Marquis of SALISBURY stated hat he bad two petitions to • present from .two corpora:. tions, praying for inquiry, and the noble marquis suggested that the house should pro'ceed t itli ihese cases, as there appeared to be no .other ready to proceed with. Lord Baay-GUAM; who for some. time has been' playing he part of Leader of the-house, advised the noble marnitis tb have these . easei " ready . by. tomorrow; and 'if there was an opportunity; so much the better.". now for tlte This is -vihat we call rowing one way ; pull per contra. It is quite a•trbat : • .• .• • •-: Lord MEr.nOual4E here' advanced . to' the table evidently under a feeling-:ot strong excitement, and' said that he did not think cases' referred to : ought iu -!.e entertained; " and T proieat—l protest for the third time;" said the - trobie lord, " against the course which your lordships are now pnr.: suing: I roliii . dirr it contrary to reason and to the practice of tide hoaxe. I will not hold myself bound to it as a precedent, for I deem it to be ertoneous, prejudicial:, and' pernicious, and there fore I ripen9jfitf ill r uot .be bound to it in any respect. ,At the swine t e, as _your lordships 'have- decided the iluestina apinainy eotwi Non , I.feel that I am bound to bow to a ma jority:Of your hirdpvips' li,ouse; But I wish it to he understood 'that I b r im to - 4'lniijorityiif.Ois house—to a; inajority,, I• repeat, Ofth is tnie, an d . t6" . th - at only.

The rapidity'and vehemence with which the noble lord uttered these, - observations appeared to surprise their lordships, many of whom were about to - retire; but again resumed their seats. . What a scene! Lord BROUGH'AM'S advice, quoth my Lord MELBOURNE, is contrary to reason and the practice of the house." - This may be true with regard to Lord 'l3Roi6nAm's advice generally ; but why in such a towering.passion about it? 'Gentlemen of mature years do not lose their temper aboUt trifies,:and- therefore we must seek a reason elsewhere than upon the surface.of the proceedings. Lord .MEtOquat was not 'wroth at :the suggestionof Lord ,ar..isimaY, or.the advice of his ex-chancellor; but when we consider the nature of the 'evidence which the noble lord knew would be submitted to the house, we can-well understand what gave rise to his rage. •"Lord MELBOURNE fuleiv, that. the .report of ' JOSEPH P . ilixEs, (there .is a fatality, says the .Times, about the name JosEpu,)Would not bearexamination .or`the test of evidence before.the. peers ; he -had a . foie boding 'of the exposure--he trembled for the con sequences. , . . • • And well he might.

The following is rich, but singularly characteristic Mr. Woodcock, sOlicitor, residing at Coventry, and who at tended before the Commissioners solely froth 'curiosity, said that:he had "beard the evidence of a Mr: Browitt, who ad mitted that he had been a party to get persons to swear, in or ,ddr.to qualify themselves fOr, taking up their freedom, that they bad served seven years' apprenticeship to a freeman.

It appeared to him that there was an inten lion on the part of the commistiimers to collect all the evidence they could on on e',side, ,but none on the oth e r. ConceivCd the conduct of the commissioners to be much otherwise than fair and impar tial, which he remarked to the commissioners themselVes. The inquiry was conducted amidst much clamour and invective by the ,persons assembled, but not. by the commissioners. The commissioners did not interfere to put down that chtniour." • After perusing this : we beg-the reader. to .turn his at: •tention to other parts oftbeevidence,Whicli will•be found •in our, parliamentary columns, 'especially - that given by' Mr. HOLDBEACU,:the deputy-steward ofSuttoncol•dfield, before Mr. Cornmissioner CocKtruniv.

'municipal bill : is "founded,. is not true—that it is misrepresentation- fromt beginning" to end'! In. shOrt, it appears from, the evi dence, so far as it goes, that the commissioners who over . : , ran the country in trait cbaiSe's at the• public expense, were ernployed•for no other purpose than to dist or t ev i- . dence, collect scandal,. and 'make up.. a . oak AGAINST the Corporations .of -England and Wales.

Thii is the case in •Coventry, Oxford Worcester, Leicester, SuttonColdfield, c and,in , the other towns in whose favi:Mr witnesses: have been examined, and we have 'no doubt that..whpn all the parties are heard ; thete.will be' such an -exposure of gross misconduct on the-part. of the commis sioners as must bring "odium upon whig barristers and whig commissions for ever. The result may be anticipated., 'The lords will report that, the preamble. of the bill has not been proved, and that the report ofJosEiniPAarcks is not founded in truth. No wonder then that Lot d MELBOURNE and the Morning Chronicle are ; excessively ingry., The detected cheat is always indignant.. • The bill will be thrown out amid the acclamations of all good and honest men.

The avowed reason for this, as semblage of ruffians was to pass a vote of censure upon Mr. Stcaiv, .the recorder, who rep - resents the University of DubUnit' . Parliament—the real object was of a very different kind, as the following description from the Evening Packet will show : The walls throughout the city and suburbs .Were covered with' placards of ,a spirit-stirring character. Emmissaries, were' dispatched in every direction to bring in forces; blud-- geons wee literally transported to the Coburg Gardens in cars coil other vehicles; • and the Trades' Unions were , exhorted to "go armed as fur the field of battle."

ROBINSONS' and Co., Bankers, New York, May 24, 1835.. NOX ENIPYREAN'A. . Yesterday his worship the mayor entertained at dinner, in the Town-hall, the Beef Steak Club, and tkeelite of our musical professors and amateurs. At this festive meeting the prizes were awarded, which were advertised . by this melodious and harmonious band for the two best convivial glees. Every one of the cempany must have 'been highly delighted with the suc cessful compositions; but at the hour at which this is written, we.do not feel competent to give .a cool critique on their merits. We are confident that a more jeyous evening never was spent in the Town-hall, and that it never entertamecl'a inure loyal party. It is well known that the whole of the profession, as well as fully ninety-nine per cent, of the private musical talent of this town, is conservative. In respectable private society here, there are a few stray.whigs; and who ever heard one of them turn a tune? We have little {personal acquintance with the radicals; but a philosophical friend has assured us that one night last winter he submitted to the discomfort and annoyance of hearing one - of Lord Brougham and Vaux's lectures On poli cal economy, for the purpose of ascertaining a phrenological .fact, which, after a painful inspection, he now vouches for, that .in a radical skull there is iso musical buirip. Of the men who have made themselves so notorious as the enemies of the free men, not one of them has a singing face. "Boca canto el Demo nic," whispered Signora Cesari to Count Vocca in nor hearing, as. she passed one of them in St..

A v ery dreadfulfire, which created' great alarm in tke neigh-. bompood of Charter House-square and Aldersgate-street, oc curred on Monday, morning, between two and three o'clock. At that time the watchman perceiving a great light-in oue of the bed-rooms of the house of the Rev. C, W. Goode, 31, in Charter- House-square, gave an alarm, and on entering the house he found the bed furniture of one of the rooms, occupied by a lady and gentleman, on fire. The lady and gentleman had lately returned from abroad, and Mr. Goode, at the,request of a neighbour, had accommodated them with apartments in his glipuke until his lady and family returned from the country. The Watchman wrapped a blankk around the lady and, conveyed. her :to another house in the. square. The fire spread very .rapidly, and before any ftirther assistance could, be obtained 'the apartment was in one flame. Mr. Geode and his two female servants, ,the only API:, .Vrsons_in _the house, gere, alarmed, irnd at that tittle the - fire- halt taken suer hold of the 'premises that they could with difficulty reach the street, with no other covering t han their night dresses. Mr. Goode, who:is very ! lame, had his hand severely burned in attempting to escape. The house was in a very tew minutes on tire true, top to button, and we regret to state to state one article of Mr. GrOode's property was preserved. • The flames, impelled by a strong easterly wind, commun. cated to a timber-yard and cabinet inanufaciory at the back, belolving to Mr. Smith, and at the same time set.fire to the house of Mrs. Currie, N0..30, in Charter- fkouse-square. Mrs. Currie, who is the widow of a clergyman, Was from home at the . - and had. left. her house in the care of her son_and her servapts. ThesepersonS with greatdifliculty saved theniselves, .and sought shelter in the houses of the neighbours,by,whom they were kindly received. „The. whole of this houso . 'was en ' tirely, destroyed, together with its handsome furniture. The nest itouse•.whieh .took fire. was that of 'Mr: Grayitle, a watch .and clock marrufactti rer, 29, Chatter • House-square, part of which was entirely destroyed, - and the: remaining-portion, was inaterially•injured by the quantity cif watee-thrown.into * which has greatly damaged the articles used in Mr. Graville's busirkss. The house of Mr. Watson, surgeon,. next to Mr. WaS slightly ignited on th e roo f. • • While the work ok destruction %vas going on;in these premises, the tire:spread its ravages to the premises at the back of Mr. Goodeis house: The timber-yard and workshops fur the mane rectum of cabinet-work were very soon 'in flames, throwing a , brilliaaW light over the clouds, which - was' seen many miles round. Mr-Smith's shops contained a • great deal of valuable -furniture, birth prepared arid in a state of manufacture, not a vestige of Which-Was saved. - There were two iron chests on 'the -premises which contained some books and valuable papers; but these chests- having - become red hot, and' not being proof -against the action• of tire, destroyed their contents instead of preserving them.from the !tarries.' The timber in the yard was, as. we'll as the work-shops, entirely consulted'. There were a greattmany small courts at the back of'Mr. SiMth's premises, principally occupied by poor persons, and it is to be regretted that five trillion- humble dwellings were' burned, causing a very severe loss".to toe poor persons who occupied . therri. • The houses in Charter House:.square, which haVe been men tioned as having taken fire, were situated en the left ;rf Goode's house. On the right, and at the 'corner Of Charter House-street, stands the house and nilice of" MeSsrs. Robinson, -Hine, and Robinson, solicitors.' This house, projecting more into.ithe street than •of Mr. Goode's, took fire only at the back part, but very serious damage was done to the whole of the pre• during the •progress• of: the - fire: From this house the flames communicated to the premises, cousistingbf two large houSes, belonging to Mr. Macgregor, the extensive jeweller, in Charter -flume-street, and front thence to the house of kr. Solomons, furrier, adjoining. Thus were e i g ht hirge houses on tile at one time, together with the extensive workshops and timber-yard at the back, and five small houses. • Mr. Macgregor and his family were at Margate when the fire •happened, and it was stated that there were several thousand pounds' worth of property on the premises; 'but - that it was saved through the means of Mr. Macgregor% foreman, who conveyed it to places of safety. Mr. Goode's lady, and her two children, ware fortunately . in the country at the time, and from whence Mr: Goode returned only on Saturday night to perform duty the next day •at'St: Antholin's Church, of which he is the Minister. Mr. Goode has a small insurance upon his property, but not by any Means sufficient to cover the amount of his loss. 'Mr. Smith, 4 - w..1.4 stated, would sustaitl'a very SMous Fins, htittbe other property, except that Or the poor personsin the court, is, we understand, cnvered by insurance. From the inquiries that hayd beerrm - ade into the chose orthe fire it appears to have originated in - the bedionin of the Lady and Gentleman in Mr. Goode's house,' and'from the statement of the Lady herself it seems that, suspecting snare insect was crawling on her neck, she in a great fright - totik up a lighted candle Which stood by the bed side, to' honk for it, and set fire to the curtains. , . A great crowd of, persons, and among them no doubt a great Many thieves, ,who visit-sires for the purpisse of, committing' robberies, hastened to the shut, but on' this occasion thil were greatly disappointed.

Several other walls re main in a very dungetoui situation.. No lives were loit: • A NO'hillt ALARMING FIRE. Tuesday night about ten o'clock a. fire was discovered in a hay-loft belonging to Mr. Hein, coach painter, Great Rupert street, Haymarket. The premises contiguous consisted mostly of coach-houses and stabies, which were let nut to different tenants, and in which horses and cows were placed. As the materials which composed the buildings were chiefly of wood, in a very short Limo the whole hecaMe involved in ti,mes, and which quickly communicatedto the houses in Rupert-street and Archer-street. Several engines speedily arrived after the first appearance of the tjre, when, by the activity of the firemen an t the abundant supply of water, about twelve o'clock the flames were pearly subdued. Braithwaite's steam-engine attended, and contributed greatly towards arresting the progress of the flames. • A large body of pike, under Mr. Superintendent Baker, awl a company of the Foot Guards, kept off the crowd. Flow the tire originated is not known, though it is stated to have taken place from the spark of a candle falling in a !owl of hay which was placed in the loft that day. The Plough public house, No. 39, Rupeit-street, is entirely gutted; and Nos. 37, 38, and V, in the same street, are much damaged; besides several houses in Archer-street. Two valuable horses belong ing► to Messrs. Barclay and Hanks are said to have been de strayed, besides other horses and cows. Several horses, by the great exertions of the neighbours, were saved from the de vouring element. LEARNED IN HEB.REW.--41 : 0)E " AMMER'S History of the Jews" was published, the witty.

Within this range there are lines describing the municipal and parliamentary boundaries of the borough. The scale ,of the plan is nineteen inches and a half to the mile; its size five feet live by thiee feet three inches; and the survey has been com pleted to the first of August, 1835. As a topographical work, whether we regard the laborioni minuteness and accuracy of its details, or its eng,raving as a. beautiful specimen of that art, we can only speak of it in terms of unqualified praise, and as richly deserviug of the patronage-of the public. • CAUTION TO WastiErtwomEN.—A very wrctched-looking woman, named Mary Shaw, was on Monday last placed at the bar of the police-court, before Alderman Leyland, charged, by Hannah - Yorley, with havinii stolen a shirt front a line on Which it had been !Mug to dry. - '1 he complainant said, that she was a washerivontan, and the shirt was the property of a gentleman, who had given it to her for ablution.

The crew took to the long boat and landed at Not folk. The ship, together with her cargo, consistinz of upwards of 1703 hales of- cotton, were entirely consumed by the fire. The value of the cargo is estimated at about £4,000, the whole of which was insured in Liverpool. JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.—STEALING 1318 LES.—A boy named Sohn Kinsley, aged about eleven years, was on Monday last placed at the bar of the police-court, charged by Ashley, of the nightly watch, with having stolen five bibles from St. Jude's School. Ashley said, that he had discovered the prisoner on some steps in Mar bone, reading a bible. He accosted him, and per ceived that he was seated upon four other bibles, all of one edition, and similarly bound. The hesitating manner of the boy roused suspicions in Ashley's mind that he had not obtained possession of the books honestly. Ile immediately took him in charge. On the Wit': to - hridewell the lad confessed that he had stolen the bibles from St. .Tude's School. The master of that institution said that they had missed a great number of bibles from time to time. Mary Spite and Mary Smith, the former a pupil the latter a tea cher at St. Jude's School, - identified the books found in the pos session of the prisoner. and proved that seven bibles had - been missed from the school-room on Wednesday last. The prisoner was committed to take his trial for felony. LivErtroor..Woot. SALE.—The sales of wool in Liverpool, which some-time since were comparatively insignificant, ate be coming larger every year, and, seem .likely to form a very val uable addition to the trade of the port. So far as the Yorkshire manufacturers are concerned, Liverpool is a very convenient depot for the raw material of the woollen manufacture, almost as convenient as Bristol is for the west of England; and the great foreign trade of this. port with all parts of the world, will, no doubt, have the effect of bringing larger quantities of wool to Liverpool every year, and consequently of rendering it a still better market. We understand, that the sales last week were to the amount of about 100,(k On Thursday and- Friday, ab,ut 1600 bales of Australian and Tasmanian, and 3000 bales; cons -prisingrsPortnal., - Spanisb, German; OderdirPeirtiViaii; and va rmui other descriptions, were brought to the hammer. The at tendance of buyers was greater than at any form( r period, and the biddiogQ, particularly for the Australian and Tasmnuian, spirited throughout :of these sorts every - lot was sold.- - The col onists have-been favoured with a' good'season, and they richly .deserve the praise of having bestowed great-pains in getting up their wool; with a few exceptions the' 'different - parcels were in fine condition, and the prices obtained will, 'we trust, amply • remunerate them. The first sale of Australian offered consisted of 1,(5J6 bales, of which 801 bales brought 2s. 2d. to 2s. 'lO,l. - ma king an average of 2s. , Iri„ per lb.; IE6 bales sold from Is. 61 , 1. to 2s. 10. and 16 hales, in the grease; at Is. ,r.rid. to Is. 74d. ; producing for the en ti re l ot 2 s. 3,1. • per •lb.; The second sate of Australian comprised 300 hal es , whi c h sold, from Is. 6id. to 3s. averaging 2s. 0-id. per lb. The .third sale comprised 106 bales Australian and 157 Tasmanian : the former sold at Is. 9d. to 2s.

We may remark that, in compari son with the first cargo sold here, in Jime,: 1831, of the former clip, the prices realised are ; in most instancesilid. teT2d. per lb. higher; but the condition of - that clip was decidedly inferior. For the, gond and fine clothing sorts, rind -for the strong com bine' descriptions, there was great competition, as also for the middling sorts; the prices obtained are considered Id. to 2d. per lb.! higher than the late large sales in London—in some in stances even more ; and no greater proof can be widuced 'of he present healthy stale •of trade in the manufacturing distric' s. Of the various other descriptions offered, a fair proportion tined buyers. For the coarser sorts there was a very limited demand,• and the sales effected were to a trivial eEtent. DoE A mil, Co.tcn ACCIDENT.—A frightful accident happen ed on Monday evening to the Telegraph Worcester coach. As it was proceeding out of town, about seven o'clock, when near - the,oach and Horses. at th e b o tt om o f t h e hil t l ead i ng from Hanwell to Southall, the fore axle-tree broke, awl the coach up set with a tremendous crash. Spiltnan, one of the Bow-street mounted patrol, and several persons passing; immediately ran to the assistance of the passengers, several of 'hum had sustained most severe injuries. The coachman, who was a very len tly man, having received severe internal injuries, was conveyed in to the coach and Horses, as were also the whole of the passen gers, where they received every attention front Mrs. Batty, the landlady,,and 'Mr. Abingdon, a surgeon of the neighbourhood. Ott examination, two ladies were found to be so much injured that it was considered. necessary to have them conveyed imme diately to St. George's Hospital, where they remain with little hope of recovery. A gentleman, whose collar-bone was broken, was compelled to proceed to Worcester, after it was .reset, by another coach. Three of the passengers still' remain at the inn, who, as welt as the coachman, are in a most dangerous state, and several others have been conveyed home to their residences in town. ANCIENT MARK OF EMPIIAsis.—In a toll case, tried at Bed ford'on Tuesday week, Mr. Devon, who was brought from the Record-office to produce sOnie translations - from "Doomsday Book," stated in his evidence the singular fact "that in many old manuscripts, when particular emphasis was given to a wino, it was customary, instead of underlining It 7 at the present day, to run the pen completely across the word - in the same manner, as we now erase theut."

The barley crop is not near an aver age—it is very thin and -sickly, wait a very small head; but where the chevalier barley has been sown, it - promises well, and will be a full average crop. The green crops are in a backward state fin want of moisture. The potatoes are much stinted, and ire many cases a complete failure; they will be a third deficient of last year's crop. The turnips are at least three weeks later than last year; the grub is busy at work, and should this valu able crop not fret rain soon, it will be a complete failure. I. ob served a fine held of wheat at Wester Logierait, which is equ a l, if not -superior, to any in the country. he green- crops and chevalier barley upon the farm of Castle 14lenzies are excellent, and the same may be said of these crops on the farm of Knock intober.

We formed, a COnseivative Club for this city and county last March, and it has been the meani. of much genii here. At the last registration no steps were taken to cut off the had votes of the opposite party, while they were very active on their side. We have this veer registered twenty-three addi tional free Men, and about thirty-five additional £lO householders. En short, we are only looking out for a second candidate to bring forward in conjunction with Mr. Blakeman. Many, ton, - in the town are coining to their sober senses again, who will take our side at the next election.

DEATU OF THE OURANG OUTANG IN THE SURREY I ZOOLO- G ICA r. GARDENs.—This interesting anitnal died last week of at scarlet fever. During its illness it was attended by a medical gentleman of celebrity, by whom its symptoms were treated precisely similar to those of a young child labouring under a similar complaint. It. cried and whined like a cross child; but it was fend of its keeper, from whom it received every possible attention. CARRIER PIGEON3.—A pigeon Was shot at Marton yester day, which, on being picked up, prOed to be a carrier, though not apparentlyof the most perfect breed. The bird was nnaked 20-1, and, from the billets attached to it, it . had evidently Leen despatched on its errand the day before. Oneof the slips of 'paper, which are now in the' possession of 'a gentleman in Do ver, io dated " Le 30 Juillet,"'ind . is inscribed " R. 0. W. Commencement, with columns of figures, apparently the prices of the public funds. The other is marked ."78Juillet 29.! with the letters 11. M. J.. N. K. L. 0., e:ach.arpended to a numerical statement, On the reverse side is the word " Detnande 181 8," with three hieroglyphics, the words " Lunda prochain," and a short sentence in rench, but which has been so mutilated by the shot that destroyed the bird as to render it unintelligible. Singe the above,,uas in type. we have been. infprmed that tho bird had taken' a: wrong direction on 'being started from hence by a foreign agent, who is in the habit of despatching numbers similarly equipped to the continent.---Dover Tvl.yroph. . . ..SIGHTS AT Msnatn.—There are rraity sights worth seeing in Madrid; one is the collection of am our at the palace, ar racged in a similar way to ours in the Tower of London, but with a greater variety of costumes and mote ancient specimens. They show there helmets of Ilannth4 and Scipio Africanus, Moorish and Turkish armour, the statues of Charles Y. and Philip 11. in full armour, as well ;is thatof St. Ferdinando ; the last mentioned is deemed the greatest curiosity and most valua ble relic.

THE MONTH. OR AUGUST.—Atigutf, in a general itenAto, plies something majestic, and the a ppol a ti„ e „ a „, fi rst con . furred by the . Roman senate on Octavio..

SANowicu.-:Phis nobleman, when dressed; had a dignitikl appearance, but 'to see him in the street, he had an awkward careless gait. Two gentlemen observing him when at Leicester, one of them remarked, "I think it is Lord Sandwich earning;" the other replied that he thought he was mistaken, ".Nav," says the gentl eman , "I am sure it is Lord Sandwich ; for, if you observe, he is walking down both sides of the street at onee." But Lord Sandwich gave a bett^r anceliote of him self:—" When 1 was at Paris, I had a dancing master ; the man was very civil, and on taking leave'of him, 1 offered him any service in London." " Then," said the man I O‘, ing, • should take it as a particular favour, if your lordship would never tell any one of whom you trained to dam e." TO MAKE OLD CHEESE OF NEW.—The flavour and appear ance of an old cheese may be communicated to new by insert ing in the new cheese portions of the old,containing blue . mould. The little scoop which is used in taking, samples of cheese is is ready instrument for the operation, by interchanging ten or a dozen of rolls which it extracts, and placing I licni so as to dis seminate the germ of the blue mould dlimer the cheese. A new Stilton treated in this way, and well covered up trout the air a few weeks, becomes thoroughly impregnated with the mould, and generally with a flavour hardly to be distinguished from the old one. Al r.*:John Robinson, Secretary of the Royal Society of Edinburgh,. says he has sometimes tr aged half a Linarkshire cheese in this way, and left the other half in its natural state, and been ainused,with the remarks of his frieNison the striking superiority of the former over the latter.
