We have received Lisbon 4:yettes to the 30th ult. In
the Gazette of the 28th is an order of the King, directing
that the proccedinzs instituted against persons for th it
political opinions shall he accelerated a.; much as possible,

The Duke of Marlborough packet has arrived at Fal-
mouth from Lisbon, which she left on the 30th ult. The
letters by her do not contain any thing of importance; she
brings several passengers.
The private letters, yesterday, by the Lisbon Mail, con-
tain some lather curious information. It appears that a
lady, reputed to have for some time been under the pro-
tection of an English military gentleman of high rank in
Lisbon, has been detected in a political intrigue with the
Iluent of Portugal, and banished by order of the Sore-
reign. The letters also state, that the preparations for the
invasion of the Brazils proceed rapidly, and that several
new battalions are arming.—Globe stud Trareller.

A private letter from AUgsburg of the 2,ith ult. mentions
that the Russian General Sabanieff, in Bessarabia, had re-
ceived advice that the Turkish troops in Moldavia and
tVallachia were in motion for quitting these principalities,
fcr the right aide of the Danube, but that other troops were
to replace them from the Pacha of Silistria. The letter
concludes by announcing that at the moment of its being
closed, it was generally reported that some unforseen po-
litical events had given nse to extraordinary conferences
between the Marquis de Caraman, Prince de Hatzfeld,

A NIC DOT s.—A few weeks ago a blacksmith at Cambray
proposed marriage to a young mantuamaker, to whom he
had long paid his attentions. Being a good looking youth,'
his off.r was accepted, the notary sent for, and the mar-
riage contract drawn up, but one of the articles not hap-
pening to please the lady, she expressed her disapprobation
with so much asperity, that the son of Vulcan taking her
by the arm, led her to the door, declaring he was deter-
mined not to many a spitfire. The notary c3mplained of
having been called in to no purpose. " Stay a while," says I
the Cambrasian, " I'll try and find a wife," and iinmetli-
ately departed. While going along the ramparts he met a I
pretty servant girl, with whom be commenced the follow-
ingl
conversation :—" Are you good tempered?" " Oh,
yes ! you may inquire of my mistress." " Are you pru-
dent ? ' " I have never vet had a sweetheart." " Are you
inclined to marry ?" " Yea, if I find a man to my liking."'
" What do you think of me?" "0, you are very well."
" Come along with me then ; the contract is ready , we
Dave only to sip it." "Stop at least till I have put my-

are; and 1 am afraid the Notary will be out of patience.

DUKE OP BUCTINGUAM AND CHANDOS.

?SELDOM or otAsoow.

I From the GleagTne Herald.'

In our last number we informed our readers of the arrival in this I
city of the Duke and I/lichees of 11uckinehani and suite. on a sci-
entitle tour to the Western Isles, I iiant'a Caiteesav, iec., and of
their hating attended divine 'terrier in St. John's Chapel, where
they heard the Ike. 1)r. Chalmers peva( h. 1'
It is now our pleasing duty to record the reception which .'is'
Grace met with here. so, a prier arrival he was waited on at his
hotel by the Lord Provos,. KWh: .Indesion. and Mr. Cleland,
who in the name of the Magistrates welt-nine! him to the city.
The Lord Provost informed his Grace that the I 'orporation were
iii the habit of making an annual aquatic excureion for the purpose
of inspecting the light-houses on the west coast under their sup er-
intendence. and that they should he proud of the honour of receiv-
ing his Brace on board their steam ,sessel. Haying politely ac.
erred the invitation, his Grace, accompanies! by his suite, left
town on the afternoon of Monday last. for Greenock, where they
immediately embarked on board the Lbiltehi yacht.
On Tuesday morning the tacht, and the tender which accompa-
nies her, put to sea ; anti in the threnoon, the Corporation, in their
steam.yeesel, cattle alongside, when they were politely honoured
' with a salute front the guns of the yacht and tender. The Duke,
acconipanicd by fieneral Sir I itiorge Nugent and Captain Wilcox,
H.S.. then came on board the strain-vessel, where they were re-
ceived by the Lord Provost, 3lagistrates and Council, and the
Judicial and tied Officers of the Corporation, the Sheriff of the
county. and the Magistrates of Got-ball, Greenock. and Port Glas.
gow, when, «krt. the usual compliments, the Lord Provost, in a
neat speech, informed the Duke, that although his Grace's once- •
pected 2 Tri% al in this part of the country had rot admitted of the
usual Precious Mentalities, the Magistrates and Council had una-
nimously resolved that mornino to present to his Grace the free-'
dom of the city of Glasgow t that fur many years pact the Magni-
; tract' hail conferred the privileges of an Honorary Burgess on only
a few distinguished individuals, the only instance, since his bora-
. ship woe a member of Council, being that of Prince Esterhazy, the
I illustrious representative of the Emperor of Austria; and that, on
the presort occasion, the Magistrates and Council felt a peculiar
satisfaction in requesting his Grae-e's acceptance of this municipal
I gift, not only as a small mark of the grateful sense they entertained
of the interest his Grace had kindly taken in the prosperity of
Glasgow, hot also in teitimony of their high respect kit the charac-
ter of a nobleman who was a: once the tricot! of his Sovereign and
of his country—who, on all occasions, evinced a liberal zeal in the
promotion of art and scieoce--ard who was pre-eminently. distin-
guished by !lie dignified example he set of a great patriotic lima- ,
lord. uniformly attentive to the welfare, and possessing the affec-
tionate attachmeet. of his very numerous tenants.
In reply, the Duke of Duckinghwn stated, that as he was totally
unaw,.re of the honour intended to be done him, he was quite tin- .
prepared with any formal speech; but that he canted the few
words he had to saw would not be the less acceptah!e, as they came ,
front the heart; that, in his ;medic conduct, he had felt it his duty
to endeavour to eroinota the best interests oldie people, and to sup.
port the constitution of the country as by law established, and the ;
1 monarchical principles of that constitution, in which he had been
educated% and in the maintenance of which, he trusted, he should
die; that, in pursuing such conduct, he had no doubt he should
err receive the approbation and support of so highly respectable a
body of gentlemen as those whom he now addressed ; that. inde-
pendently of the consideration of the freedom of the city of Glasgow
having been rarely conferred. except upon illustrious foreigners, lie
Zagged to assure the Lord Provost and other gentlemen of the cor-
poration, he entertained the deepest sense of the great honour so
unexpectedly conferred upon hint that he felt peculiar gyandica-
non in tints becoming mime intimately connected with one of the
first cities of the Empire, so highly distinguished for its commercial
greatness; Ad that he would ever consider this as one of the
proudest dayi of his life.
The Lae Provost then yraposed the health of his Grace of
Bucking ' . the voungtot Citizen of Glasgow," which was
enthtisiasti drank with all the honours. The Duke them
hanAlui
drank to !ha th and prosperity of his fellow citizens, and re-
turned to hal yacht 'amid the cheers and heartfelt congeatulciere
of the gentlelben assembled. The Ladies, Professor Rockland. of
OxfOrd, the celebrated Geologist, and the other distinguished in-
dividuals em board the yacht, which lay alongside, joined most
heartily.
When his Grate, with his friends, bad got on board his yacht.
another salute was fired, the shrouds manned, and three hearty
cheers given, which were returned by the numerous party in the
steam vessel. On this occasion his Grace wore the Star of hire
Order of the Garter.
Thus terminated a highly interesting and most imposing
eerenumial, which was greatly heightened by the fineness of the
day t the re-echoing of the cannon, and die romantic scenery on
both sides of the channel. The very excellent band of the Ennis-
killen Dragoons, under the able direction of Mr. (Guyer, had a fine
effect on the water.

The Diamond, a large new frigate, just finished at
Chatham, will mail to-day or to-morrow for South Ainciica.
The distillation of palatable and fresh castor at sea has
been effected by I'. Nieole, of Dieppe, by simply causing
the steam arising from boilinx sea-water in a still to pass
through a ono= of airsely powdered charcoal, in its way
to the condetAr gr warn-tub.
Gem.—MCl*n that Game of every description Is
unusually plentiful on the moon in the Highlands. The
young moor-fowl are already on the wing, and are fully
as strong and well-grown aa they were six weeks after
this time last year. The young hares also are uncom-
monly numerous, and the sportsman may be anticipating a
season of excellent amusement.—lnverness Cuerier.

SPADE lle seas Day.—This mode of employment is less
productive than ordinary cultivation. On 141.3 of little
value farmers now feed themselves and their cattle, and
pay rent, which is in fact feeding the landlord and those
who depend upon him. On such land, by spade hus-
bandry, labourers could not do any such thing.
GREAT DISTIIESS IN Akkl.OW.—The fishermen of
Arklow have been long remarkable for the perseverance
and industry with which they have pursued their hazard-
ous calling, whereby they were enabled to support, in
humble comfort, a numerous and hardy race. This season,
however, the herrings have totally deserted the bay and
coast of Arklow, and the fishermen have been obliged, in
consequence, to sail towards the north, where they have
been detained for some time from their numerous fa nilies,
who, having no means of subsistence in the absence of their
provider:, are now suffering from want of the conneon
necessaries of life, and out of a population of 3,000 persons,
of which the town consists, there arc upwards of twelve
huntlrtsl who are totail7 destitute! The proprietor of the
town, Lord Carysfort, having been written to on th • sub-
jeer, remitted, a few days since, a sum of fifty pounds, for
the relief of the famishing poor.—Dublin Pup: r.
In a shop window in this town, there is painted on a
blind the following sentence:—" firma gnus Del qui fuller
spec :IL inuhdl."—.llanchoster Paper.
Su PE KST ITION.—A singular and appalling incident oc-
curred this week at Middleton. A woman, named Sarah
Pritchard, having been called into a neighbour's house to
assist in laying out the body of a woman who had re-
cently died, observed that something dreadful would be
sure to happen in that house before long, the corpse was
so extremAy supple. In a very short time afterwards,
she assisted in carrying the corpse up-stairs, in doing which
she was taken suddenly ill, and the other re rsons preset)*
had only just time to support her to a chair, before she ex-
pired. She was a very stout, healthy person, and the
cause of 1 r death appears to have been the bursting of a
blood-vessel, owing to her exertions in carrying the body
up-stairs. Of course, this event has confirmed all the su-
perstitions periple in the neighbourhood, in the notion, that
where a dead body does not assume the usual stiffness and
rigidity, something terrible will be sure to follow it.--Ifas-
cliest:r Guardian.

EFFte IS or TIGHT-L•CING.—A man of very high
fashion, one of the leading dandies of the was caught
in fits the other morning, in Kensington Gardens, when
the Gentleman was found to be very tightly laced.
A lI'S Fr AS T.—A fashi.nable hair-dresser, re-
siding in a certain town in a neighbouring county, lately
incited th:ec friends to partake of dinner. After waiting
till their appetites we...e keenly excited, the dishes were
placed on the table, and on bei;:g u“cover.:d they were

One day Lord f2;.lkirk in his walks observed a man locked
up in one of them and looking out at the window, and
in the other summer-house, looking out at the correspond-
ing window, appeared young John Paul. " Why are
those lads confined?" said Lord Selkirk to the gardener.
" My Lord, I caught the rascal stealing your Lordship's
fruit." " But there arc two—what has your son done ; is

EDUCATION in ,'4e nurs rAuriLP.r.

Every youth of noble extraction, the non of the poorest
as well as of the most wealthy Baron, was taken, at seven
years of age, out of the women's hands. and removed from
his paternal scat, to the castle of another Knight, whore
he was to he trained up to the protewion of chivalry under ,
the rigid Commands of strangers, at a distance from the
effeininate habits produced by parental endearment% Jr.
quality of page, he waitedon the Knight, his Lady, and
guests, at their entertainments, att titled them on a jour-
ne
y or at the chain, accompanied them in tit -it walks and
visits, and, when occasion required, was ready to go on
their errands, and exteute their commissions. The inter-
vals, when he was not employed immediately in any of
these services, were dev Sled to boddy exereises, ta tit him
betimes for that hardy and laborious profession Mr which
lie was intended. In the reviews ee' the Knights and
Squires, he saw the game of war plays I mt a small scale.
Ity-and-by, he learned to shoot with the how, to manage
the sling, to defend places and ways which were assailed;
by his companions. Above all, his instructors wee e anxious
to impress on his heart such a cliara•Aer as would reflect
lustre on his future rank. Ardent ele‘otion to thud, vene-
ration for the lofty spirit of chivalry, and r she et for the
female sex, were carefully impressed on his mind. Virtue
and good manners, courteous behaviour, elegant carriage,
and propriety of demeanour, were inculcated both by pre-
cept and example. Relii„don and gallantry were intended
,to form the principal katures si•ltis future character. Af-
ter a course of seven years' preparation, when he had now
reached the fourteenth year of his zele, lie was accompanied
by his parents to the altar, there to be admitted to the use
of arms. The priest took from the altar a belt, which was
placed there for the purpose, and, after having consecrated
it with his blessing, girded it around the young warrior,
and sent him. adorned with this badge of his new order,
to undergo his probation as a Squire. Ikre was the school
in Which he was to be fitted for a high's: elevation. From
the example of the older Squires, he learned to obey ; and
every other necessary instruction he found in an intercourse
with the world. From this time, be was admitted to con-
fidential circles, and received into companies ; and by this
means had every opportunity he could desire of cultivating
his mind and taste. He now acted in a more extended pro-
• since. According to their mental and bodily powers, their
activity and dexterity, the elegance of their addrem, and
gracefulness of elocution, the Squires had the several de- •
partments allotted to them iu their attendance on the
Knight and his Lady. Their office s were the care of the
stable and et; ..ipage of their Lord, discharging the ceremo-
nb:s of a banquet, a ball, and the other splendid enjoy-
ments that give variety to tranquillity. When any knightly
enterprise, such as a quarrel of honour, or a tournament,
called his master to arms, the Squire was ever ready at
his back to yield him assistance. The bodily reercat ons
' ()Eche young Squirts were frequently exchanged for such
; feats as riding at the ring on horseback with lances, end
such other exercises as serval for preparations to the art of
war, while, at the same time, they rendered them strong,
active, and alert. During their term of service in the qua-
lity of Squires, the spint of chivalry sank deep into their
souls. A long probation of obedience and deference broke
the fierceness of their hearts, and wore off the barbarous
tudeness of the times. Their frequent conversations with
• stranger Knights, who had often traversed half the world,
through a series of dangerous adventures, enriched their
minds with a knowledge of men and of the world. Their
intercourse with the female sex, mid the frequent offices
of deep respect which they performed towards them, ac-
, custornal them to gallantry and devotion, and rendered
their hearts soft and tender, though sheathed in steel and
iron. Their presence e the knightly combats of their
Lords again cherished a spirit ofr dauntless courage and
heroism i:: danger. This discipline, which rendered their
minds at once heroic and gellifle, finished the education of •
these pupils of towers and conks; and after seven years,
more of such exercises, they were now, at the age of 21,.
declared capable of entering on the duties of knighthood.',
t Some of them, however, voluntarily remained, during their
whole lives, in the quality of Squires to some renowned
' Knight, who was graced with every virtue of spirit and
heart that could adorn a perfect Knight; and, in this case,
1 ithe high and sacred oath, which they took on being dubbed.
' Knights, amidst the pomp of many religious ceremonies,
served to muter a superios sattetkt on themselves. Before
their admission to the ilhaeori • of thrighthotel,
they swore at the altar—always to speak the teuebrand
maintain the right ; to protect religion, jai minister,, and
temples ; to assert the cause of the weak and helpless, of
the widow and orphans ; to be the guardians of chaste wo-
men and their good name ; and also to persecute infidels.
This oath was an epitome of the morality of Knighthood,
die foundation of the sacred respect paid to a Knight's word
and truth ; the fountain of his courtesy and gentle de-
meanour. To preserve his own honour unspotted, no com-
plete Knight permitted himself to be guilty of any injus-
tice at home, as the umpire of his equals, and the judge
of his vassals ; or to commit any action in the field that
was inconsistent with the laws and practice of war. On
their return from the field, each gave a faithful and accu-
rate account, fur the information of heralds and framers of
escutcheons, of whatever had happened, the fate of the
fortunate as well as the unfortunate ; the feats of the va-
liant, and the flight of the coward: they concealed nothing
frotn posterity that could serve to inflame their courage,
or to give them confidence in similar adventures. Hence,
honour and a love of truth, humanity and gentleness, shot
forth amidst the fierceness, valour, and dauntless heroism
of the :ge, and produced that strange mixture of character
which is peculiar to chivalry.

En:mom—The more luxuriously you live, the more
exercise you require. The bon vi vast may depend upon
the truth of the advice which Sir Charles Scarborough
gave to the Duchess of Ports nouth—" You must cat
Loss ; or take more exercise; or take physic ; or be sick."
Over feeding is the chief causes of the diseases which tor-
ment all thus:" who are not absolutely among the lowest

113 AVERY AND BLACKING.—He is a brave man who
makes good blacking—one who does not stick at trifles:
he who buys his blacktog ready made, is more likely to have
a good article than he who makes it himself,—not that the
latter cannot make it equally good, but his heart fails him
in the application of that ingredient upon which its shining
qualities chiefly depend This subject gains additional
interest from the circumstance'of a flaming orator having just
entered the lists with Day and Martin; and there are few
peasons who will charge our ex-radical with want of courage
or perseverance. Now for the blacking secret. Take of
ivory black, two ounces; of sugar, one ounce and a
half ; of sweet oil, one table-spoonful ; of vinegar, a
pint and a half; of vitriol, one ounce. These are the
ingredients, and thus arc they mixed : Work the
black with tome vinegar well together in the first in-
, stance into a thick paste ; then work the oil into it ;
simmer the vinegar and the sugar together ; stir it
all up ; then. if your courage fail you not, pour in the
vitriol, and keep your bottles corked: this is the recipe for
the real Day and Martin's, awl the new manufacture of
Mr. Hunt. It will afford an i- stant, beautiful, and durable
jet polish ; hut its effects up, .he leather, and the stitches
of the boots and shoes, we leave to the consciences of the
blacking-makers.
:41 OM .tt'D IC TINCTI'RE.—Two ounces of Casearilla bark
I (bruised), or dried orange peel, or colomba root, infused
fu; a fortnight in a pint of brandy, will give you the tinc-
tures called by those names. Dosc—one or two teaspoons-
ful in a wine-glass of water.
