GROWTH OF WOO!. IN RUSSI.I.

The Frankfort Papers contain the following informa-
tion relative to the endeavours now making in Russia to im-
prove the breed of sheep in that empire :
.ST. P EEEEE WUNGII. SEPT. 24.

31r. Speck I.ripsig, well known for itissitiliinrigrCrultiTre,
and especiilly for ha knowledge of the best manner of mansging
sheep. has just act out for Moscow and Saralofr, whence he will
go to the provinces in the Black Sea. Mr. Freigang, Counsellor
of state, accompanies him in his journey, the object of which is the
amelioration of the brced of sheep, and the improvement of the
wool. his hoped that the result of his journey will be, to convince
toe landowners of the importance of this improvement. This con-
viction nag already become general at Sr. Petersburgb, where a
great many of the first persons in the empire, and of respectable
landowners, take great interest in it. There is no doubt that the
breed of the sheep may be brought to the highest perfection, not
only In our southern governments, which are so rich in pastures,
but also in the northern provinces, where the population is more
numerous, and we may even expect to see the latter furnish the
best wool.

A considerable sock of sheep of the best races is now form-
ing in the Baltic provinces, and it seems that his Excellency the
Mintier of the Interior intends to form a similar establishment on
the lands belonging to the Crown in the Government of Samloff;
this liner establishment would become a school, not enly for the
neighbouring Governments, but for the adjacent Steppes, where no''
attention has hitherto been ?aid to thin subject. This useful branch
of agricultural industry might thus be extended to New Russia,
where the foundation is already laid, and where it only requires
i uproveraent, and in the Steppes to the east, while by means of
small flocks it might be carried to the highest degree ci perfection
in the &slue prosiness.
Though a long period will be required to attain this object, the
demand for wool will become in the interval more considerable, and
our manufactories will be more flourishing. The freedom of ex.
Donation will always procure our wools a ready market, without
isjoring the trade of the other nations, and will make up for the
diminution in the exportation of grain. Our wool fairs begin to
be established, and the public takes as interest in them.

I'IRATES ON THE COAST OF CUBA.

By the following official report from Commotiore War-
rington, of the United States service, to the Secretary of
the Navy st Washington, it apwars that the piratical
WTIs who lately infested the coast of Cuba have been
completly broken tip and dispersed.
United States ship Constellation, off Ilavannah,
Aug. 29, 1823.
Sir.—.To enable you to ascertain what exertions have been made
by, and what success hat attended the efforts of the septadron under
command, I forward by this conveyance, a copy of all the re.
ports made by the different commanders of its cruisers. If pirates
are now, or have been, in force lately on either aide of (...la, they
hare not only abstained from making captures, but have concealed
themselves so effectually u to prevent detection. The orderly
conduct of the fishermen on the coast, the steady pursuit of Clete
occupation, and the absence of all suspicious persons, induce a be-
lief that these outlaws are not at present collected in any force.
shalt. however, keep a watchful eye on the island, and prevent, If
possible* the commission of depredations which may be attempted
under a belief that we are relying too much on appearances.

LANIBETH-STREET.

SINGULAR APTLICAIION.--(s3.lWrjr;y evening, a well-
dressed respectable-looking middle aged woman presented herself
at the above office, and expressed an earnest desire to have an in-
terview with his worship; the officer in attendance, attracted by her
apparent solicitude and manner, inquired the nature her of busi-
ness, in order to ascertain; as is customary, whether it came under
the cognisance of a Polite OtHcer. She expressed no disinclination
to give him the required information, and said that her object was
to s:.•.:ar to an affitlavit before his Worship ; at the same time hand-
ing him the form, which was as follows, and which we give, as it
may hereafter serve as a precedent :
I, Jane Sheldon, do make oath, not to drink any spirituous
liquors, except in the presence of, and with the consent of my law-
ful husband, John :rheltion ; and I, Jane Sheldon, do further
make oath, not to drink more than one pint of porter or strong
bevr, except in the presence, and with the consent of my lawful
husband, John Sheldon. Jets SHELDow."

The Officer, after its perusal, expressed a doubt of ihe 31agis-
trate's sanctioning it, but, however, took her before him, to try
the question. lint worship appeared highly amused at the appli.
cation, and asked her what could have led to her making it? when
she said that she had been married for some years to her present
husband, with whom she lived-in the greatest possible harmony,
till some short time since, when some malicious-minded person
poisoned his mind against her, by telling him that she was becom.
mg addicted to drink, and was in the habit of indulging in intoxica-
tion during his absence. Though she assured him it was false, yet
nothing would satisfy him, unless she made the present affidavit.
►fis Worship said, that though it was very unusual, he would
allow her to be sworn, as he did not wish to be a bar to domestic
happiness.
The applicant was accordingly sworn, and left the office highly
gratified at the rcsuli of her interview.

THE HUNGARIAN DIET.

PEESIIVIO, SEPT. 30.
It was in the sitting of the Diet, on the 26th inst. that
the Chamber of Deputies resolved unanimously to give
letters of naturalisation, free of expense, to Prince
Nfetternkh, from a thorough conviction of the numerous
and eminent services which he has rendered, not only to
the Austrian Monarchy, and particularly to the kingdom
of Hungary, but to all Europe. The same honour was
conferred on the Bavarian Ambassador, Baron Stainlein,
out of regard for the E:npress, as well as for the high
character of the Baron himself, who is connected by
marr:age with some of the first families in the country.
These two resolutions were unanimously adopted by the
Chamber of the Magnates.
In the same sitting, it was resolved, according to a very
ancient custom, to fix at 30,000 ducats the coronation
present to her Maje►ty the Empress, which the body of
the nobility of the kingdom has taken on itself to pay.
On the Vtl► thrre was a grand review at Kitsee of part
of the troops that have been here during the coronation.
His Majesty the Emperor was present, acenmranied by
the Crown Prince, the Archdukes Francis, Charles, and
Maximilian, and the Duke of Beja (Prince Michael of
Portugal). The troops were commanded by the Arch-
duke Ferdinand, General-in-Chief in Hungary. The
Archduke' Charles and Lewis left us on the 2Silt, to re-
turn to Vienna.

STATE OF EGYPT.

Extract of a letter from Alexandria, dated Sept. I:
The alarm occasioned by the appearance of the Greek fire-ships
to our port has not yet gone off, and the grand director of :Mehemet
Airs campaign plans, the Consul 1). has since then suffered in
credit. His friends, Generals B. and L. are in consternation, as
every thing proves that the Pachalik. of which they considered
themselves ascolonists, rests on a tottering base. You must know
that it's only within the turning of a straw that our famous Vice-
roy has saved his life, and the sceptre of the Paroaha threatened
by the appearance of the Capitan Pacha in our roads. The (heels,
whom the Viceroy went in pursuit of, seem to have been in concert
with the Sultan's Admiral to let themselves be pursued, whilst
Topel Pschs, 6-41rvant Viceroy of Egypt, at present Capitan
paella, 'tumid seize a poet which ;Mehemet Alt traitorously ravished
from him in 11,93. The attempt has however failed, the Greeks
having only succeeded in burning a single ship. Mehemet Ali
ha, returned, disturbed in mind, enraged and humbled.
The tint news from the Peloponnesus were favourable for us;
hot six weeks are elapsed since lbrahitn Pacha took Navarino, and
the events passing in Greece are no longer mentioned. It is how.
ever known that our Pacha's son is rather badly situated with re.
s,a•ct to Tripolitaa, and that he has not been able to enter Napoli,
whose gates be had hoped to open with golden keys. A new in.
surrection is talked of in Candia. These reports have so affected
the Egyptian soldiery, that a regiment funned at Cairo have almost
all deserted on the road from that capital to Alexandria, where it
eras marching in order to be embarked for Greece. Add to this the
tpbl•c misery, the scarcity of the crop this year, the small demand
tor cotton, the low value of the piastre, it being intrinsically less
than three pence, the discontent of all classes, and the harsh des-
potic government introduced by the philanthropic Mehemet Ali;
think of these and you will have a tolerable idea of the state of
Egypt. —Carr icr Francais.

LATE RIOTS IX THE ISLE OF MAN.—At a gaol deli-
very holden at Castle of Rushen, in the Isle of Man, on
the 9th instant, the rioters who lately set fire to various
stacks of corn, have been tried and convicted of tilony.
The sentence, which is that of transportation for life,
awaits only the confirmation of the Crown, which is daily
expected in the island, with an order for removing the
prisoners to the hulks.
The ingenuity of the convicts at Sydney, in New South
Wales, has displayed itself in the following novel way.
We copy the paragraph from the Sydney Gazette:—
" At in early hour yesterday, it was discovered that the rounds-
tion stone laid for the new steam-engine, at Parramatta, had b • 4
removed, and all the coins, &c. thereunder stolen." .

NEW GOrERIVOR-GENERAL OF INDIA.

It is more than a montlsigo that a paragraph appeared
in a London paper, intimating that his Grace the Duke of
Buckingham was about to proCeed to Indic, as Governor-
General. Within the last fortnight, the Ilumpshire Tele-
graph corroborated the rumour, by stating, that it was re-
ported in the naval circles of Portsmouth, that a ship of
war (probably the Java) was to be fitted to take out a new
Governor-General of India, and that his Grace the Duke
of Buckingham had accepted that appointment. We ab-
stained on those occasions from repeating the report, not
being aware of the authority on which it rested ; but being
now convinced that it is not without foundation, *e have
no hesitation in communicating what we have learnt on
the subject. The Duke of Buckingham, we have heard, has
been recommended by his Majesty's Ministers to fill the im-
portant office in question, and his Grace, it is underrtood, has
expressed his inclination to accept the proposed appointment.
To confirm the appointment, the concurrence of the Court
of Directors is required; but from the political sentiments
of the Duke, and under the circumstances by which his
Grace is connected with the Board of Control, the refusal
of the concurrence of the Court of Directors cannot be ap-
prehended. The concurrence of that Court with the re-
commendation of Minirters cannot, however, be always
counted on as a matter of course. When the Earl of Lau-
derdale was recommended by the King's Ministers to fill
the station in question, about twenty years ago, the recom-
mendation was resisted by the Directors, on account of the
polifeal principles which his Lordship, at that time, pro-
fessed ; and although Lord Grenville held several long
interviews with the Directors to urge their acquiescence in
the recommendation, and though Lord Lauderdale's suite
had been filled up on the suggestion of his present Ma-
jesty (then Pt ince of lVales), and although his Lordship's
stock and baggage was on board a ship of war at Spithead,
prepared to sail, Lord Minto was hastily appointed in his
room, and induced to take the noble Earl's stock and bag-
gage at the invoice price.—Racks Chronicle.

CORONATION OF THE EMPRESS OF AUS-
TRIA AS QUEEN OF HUNGARY.
Pntsanao; Saes. .
Yesterday, The solemn coronation of her Majesty the
Queen took place in the manner described in the program-
me, with extraordinary pomp, and amidst the mnbonnded
acclamation of the Hungarians. The splendour of the Mag-
nates and their attendants, covered with jewels, gold, and
silver, exceeds all description, as well as- the pion% deport-
ment and emotion of the Queen, from the commencement
of the sacred ceremony to the end. As soon as the Hun-
ririans assembled in the church saw the crown of St. Ste-
phen on her bead, they announced by three huzzas in the
Hungarian, and three in the Latin language, to the crowds
assembled without, the'conelusion of the ceremony. The
countless multitude that had been waiting for the
signal, then pressed forward to salute in the most
enthusiastic manner their most pious and beloved
tfen. Her Majesty appeared with the family crown on
her head (the sacred Apostolic crown was only placed on
her right shoulder in the church), and was greeted on her
return with the same transports of loyalty and affection.
After the grand dinnamakeir Majesties and the Archdukes
sad Duchesses proceeded to the Casino, where 800 Mag-
nates and Nobles were assembled, by whom they were
welcomed with :ries of joy that were heard to a great dis-
tance. The whole city was illuminated in the evening,
and the people in all the streets crowded round their
Majesties as they rode through the city.—Allgemeine

Last night, which closed the memorable day on which
her Mikjesty the Empress of Austria, the beloved daughter
of our august Monarch, was crowned Queen of Hungary,
bonfires were lighted on all the mountains round Tegern-
see. The finest weather favoured this illumination of the
Alps. Above the yellow and waving flames the full moon
shed its beams in unclouded radiance ; the shadows of
the mountains were reflected in the lake. While thousands
of skyrockets ascended in the calm air, amidst the acclama-
tion of numerous spectators, and the playing of hands of
music, the salutes of the artillery re-echoed from the moun-
tains. A great number of persons went from Munich to
Trgernsee to enjoy this fete.—Frankfort I'apers, Oct. Y.

The negotiations with Constantinople AVserEalt"'

hatters of importance are under discussion, which are, however,
Arotrr 20. '
covered with an impenetrable veil. As the roads are now in very
good condition, the couriers generally travel from Vienna to Con-
stantinople in twelve or thirteen hours. An extraordinary courier
has arrived from Constantinople with despatches from the Austrian
Internuncio, Baron Ottenfels, -but the Austrian Chancery has not
thought lit to make known the intelligence received.

PETIRODURGH, Aro. 6.
The Government still continues to withhold from the public all
information respecting the negotiations of 111. Mintiarky, at con.
stantirfople. This silenie respecting the result of the various notes
which it is well known the Russian Charge d'Ailiwires hiss prorated
to the Reis Effendi, and the prolongation of the camp of our troops
on the Pruth, sufficiently prove that the differences between Russia
and the Parte are far front being aniicably settled. Accordingly,
the departure of the Marquis de Ribeaupierre for Constantinople is
indefinitely deferred. The bad faith of the Ottoman Government,
it is now said, is too well known for the Christian Powers to expect
any result from all the negotiations which have been set on font
with that barbarous Government, and yet our fellow Christians, the
unhappy Greeks, have been sacrificed to it.—eliasttrdans Paper,

one to keep in•rememhrance• of him.
"Geneva was very full of English, who were cordinuslly
arriving and departing. The Sunday is very strictly kept
here; and great mug be their astonishment who, having
•been long in France, arrive at the gates of Geneva during
divine service, and find themselves shut out till it is con-
cluded. I visited the quay, where the steam-boat and a few
small trading vessels were at rest. Quantities of casks and
fire-wood lay piled on its sides. Wood here, as in France,
is of some consequence for firing. Blacksmiths' forges,
and stables belonging to the different hotels, stand promi-
nent in Geneva, and yet they do net offend the eye as,
under like circumstances, they would in England. There
is a collection of busts, tmwhich the children of the city
are admitted during the morning for the purposes of in-
struction. The theatre is open in the winter only; and
befofe the revolution no theatre at all was allowed. It is
situated under the elegant Caffe, where I bad been enter-
tained with the harmony of the harp.
"The baths are very commodious. I did not however
bathe, but contented myself with tasting the water of the
lake at our light bark skimmed its smooth surface. Who
would believe, seeing it as I saw it to-day, and clearly
perceiving as I did the pebbles that paved its bed, resting
there in seemingly perpetual peace, that there are times
when that Very like is tumultuous and unsafe to venture
on.

Bow clearly did the deep transparent Rhone
Reflect the boat that on its bosom lay ;
Bright as a gem translucently it shone,
And calm as is a breezeless summer's day !
" The few canopied boats that glided o'er its surface, and
the still fewer small trading vessels that spread their white
sails to the breeze, indicated a little commerce, and only a
little. It amounted to no more than the quietude of acti-
vity. There was nothing of the bustle even of South-
ampton water to disturb the repose! It was as if com- ,
meree would leave to nature only the work of interference
with this, one of the proudest as it is one of the loveliest of
her producttens--• -

struck upon the world. The spot and the neighbourhood
are also hallowed as long u time shall last, by the genius
of a Gibbon, a Byron, and aDe Steel. I know that the
mention of these names will in some excite animadversion,
in others animosity. But rail who will—the fact cannot
be denied, that these illustrious individuals were great in
mind, as they are great in memory ; and future history
will cherish their remembrance. But we are to visit Lau-

Thls-was an action on two several bonds brought by the plain.
ta agsMOt the defendant, his nephew, to recover the sum of 4301.,
after a lapse of twenty-three years. The defendant denied his
, liability.
I Front the statement of Mr. Sergeant CR o‘9, it appeared that the
plaintiff had lent the defendant's rather, in his life time, two several
sums amounting to the abcre. The defendant was the heir-at-law
of his father. and hail jtv.t come into possession of landed property
to the amount of 1401. per minim. The widow of the deceased had
taken out letters of administration, and the plaintiff now sought to
recover his demand.
M?. WILLIAMS. on the par: of the defendant, took an objection
to the stamps, and cited the 48th Geo. 111. C. 49, which required an
ml-uslortin duty to :he extent of the money borrowed where mart-
Igaged deeds secompai,ied the bonds. In this instance the stamp
on the second bond wal only 1/. IN.
The CHIEF J usz inn overruled the objection, and the fart went
to the -fury, who, under Ids Lordship's direction, found for the
plaintiff, and assessed the land under the Act of King William to
be of the value of 2,0001.

MENDICITY IN THE NETHERLANDS.

According to a report presented to the Government of
the Netherlands in 1814, there were then nearly 700,000
paupers living scattered about, which, in a population of
5,500,000, it more than 12-100ths, or lin 8. At the end
of 1823 there were, moreover, 31,000 paupers, between
seven and eight hundred poor-houses, at the charge of the
Government, and forty-two workhouses, in which more than
7,000 are employed ; but the system of colonisation has
succeeded so well, that very soon there will be no more oc-
casion for these workhouses. There are already ten colo-
nies (we believe they have been planted on the waste lands
which are found in the Netherlands) of which eight are in
the Northern Provinces, and two in the Southern. They
contain 600 houses, and between four and five thousand
persons, who have already brought a great deal of land
under cultivation. In general these colonies have succeeded
beyond expectation ; they have both schools and churches,
and present an appearance of contentment. The number
of poor in the Netherlands leads to a remarkable conclu-
sion. If, among one hundred individuals, there are twelve
paupers, the latter must be nourished by the remaining 88.
But of these, not above 44 will be males ; but supposing
some of the females work, we must still deduct the chil-
dren and the aged. But we must also deduct the members
of administration, with all the subalterns of government,
the military, the clergy, &c. &c., whence we may conjec-
ture, that in 100 persons there arc not 22 who work, and
whoa:. labour suffices, thanks to tl.e fertility of Europe, to
industry, and to the perfection of machinery.

from this mass of materials. Many specimens of anti-
quity are still preserved. A museum to contain the whole
is proposed.

improvements are taking place in the manufactures of
Mexico, caused chiefly by the abundant introduction of
foreign fabrics, and the necessity of making articles nearly
as good, to secure for them a market. Cotton spinning
machines, on the plan of these in the United States, have
been erected with entire success. Privileges and monopo-
lies for cotton manufactories have been solicited from 041,
gross, but as yet these have not been granted. A paper
manufactory is established at San Luis Potosi, and another
is erecting in the vicinity of Mexico. At Durango a glass-
house is in successful operation. Agriculture is pursued
with more advantage than formerly; olive trees, vineyards,
silkworms, and coffee are cultivated, and promise to open a
wide and profitable field for future industry.
"In short, thelnospects of Mexico never shone so brightly
as at the present Moment. A form of government is
adopted, which has been the deliberate choice of the
people ; internal commotions are quelled ; the arts and the
enjoyments of peace arc taking place of the distractions,
privations, and sufferings of war; habits conducive to a
new and a better state of things are rapidly forming • and
the benefits of the change will soon be understood and
deeply felt. The Government is in the hands of men,
whose patriotism and virtue have been tried by a long and
bitter experience. Gaudalupe Victoria, and General Bravo,
the President and Vice-President of Mexico, have been
conspicuous actors through the whole revolutionary scenes;
they have always been found on the side of humanity,
justice, and liberty; skilful in war, brave in battle, and
true at all times, they have resisted tyranny with equal
firmness, whether in the person of a Spanish Viceroy, or a
self-styled emperor; their ambition has been to see their
country independent. enlightened, and happy."
