1' One of the Snit things I do, wheneoer I come
to any town, is to wake a round of visits to oil the
bookseller-' shops. I think they are by
fir the most amusing lounges in the world—pic-
rorc-galltries and promenades they beat all to sw-
orn*. lam fond of all kinds of booksellers
owl's ; I searcely know which I would prefer to
lame, were I to be confined to one only ; but they
are all to be had in the utmost perfection, or very
fleetly so. in It.dinbnrgh. The booksellers them--
selret, iu the first place, are a race of men, in re-
gard towbar I have always felt a particular inte-
rest and curiosity. They are never fur • moment
confounded in my mind with is-y other class of
s'iopkeepers or trafficker'. Their merchandise is
the noblest in the world ; the wares to which they
invite roar attention are not fineries for the back,
or luxuries for the belly—the inward man is whet
they aspire to clothe and feed, end the food and rat-
melee they offer ere tempting things. They have
o hole shelves loaded with wisdom ; and if you want,
wit. they hive drawee-fulls of it at every corner.
sit grave or merry. sweet or sour, sentimental or
,rcastic, there is no fear these conning merchants
can produce an article perfectly to your mind. It
is impossible that this noble traffic should not corn-
ninnicate something of its essential nobility to those
continually engaged in it. Con • man put his.

position is absurd. Your bookseller, however igno-
rant he may be in many respects, always smells of
the shop—and that which is s sarcasm, *hen said
uf any other men, is the highest of compliments
wheii applied to him. In the way of his trade,
moreover, he must continually come into contact
with customers and employers, of a class quite so•
prrior to those who frequent any other shop in the
street—yes. or warehouse or counting-house eithei..

PARIS PAPERS.

PARIS, OCTOBER SO.

The celebrated chemist Sir Hump!try Dsvy
writes from Rome to one of his friends, that of the
number of manuscripts found in the ruins of Her-
culaneum, and which hsve been there enclosed
during 1696 years, 88 have been unrolled, and are
noir regible. There are 319 utterly destroyed-
-24 have been given away as presents. It is hoped
that from 100 to 320 may yet he saved out of
1,05 manuscripts that remain to he unrolled and
deciphered, by means of a chemical operation,
which will cost about 3,0001. sterling.
Two old Jews of Frankfort, retired froth corn-
merce, very avaricious, and both possessed of an
equal fortune, mutually bequeathed their proper-
114s to the survivor, each thinking that he would
tinss double his wealth, at a time when neither
"seated en increase. One fell ill, and in pals *tunic,
persisted in refusing all medical assistance, ••,1 was
already at death's door. His colleague sitting at his
bed-foot, concealing his joy under a feigned grief,
awaited his last sigh. The dying man recovering his
senses, sew upon his countenance n smile of cupidity.
The ides that if he died lie should lose his wealth,
revived him, and lie exelsimed, " Three physicians
and 20,000 fr. if they save me." The doctors ar-
rived, and his vows were accomplished. The second,
in despair at his sudden disappointment, fell ill in
his turn, and died of vexation. The other, still
convalescent, could not support his joy at his sod-
den increase of wealth, and died also. This for-
tune. amounting to 300,000 fr. a-year, would have
rinsuilied without an owner, if a nephew of the last •
deceased had not unexpectedly appeared and
claimed it.

Vie Mori, Papers of Saturday last contain no
domestic intelligence of any interest. The account•
from Spain are more distressing than any previously
received, for they clearly phew that the yellow
fever rages with increasing violence in Cadiz. and
the other places envied by this dreadful malady.
The approach of the cold weather is looked to by
the people with great anxiety, as from it shine do
they expect any relief from their present suf-
fering,.
Advice. from Spain received in town yesterday
state, that the Spanish Government, observing
there wits little prospect of an abatement of the
malady, had removed the restrictions on trade
preventing vessels fr•m entering and departing
from the port of Cadiz, as this regulation had pro.
(limed considerable distress. They further add,
that two British vessels, with Spanish licenses, had
arrived at Cadiz from the Havanna,' and Vera
Cruz, and several Spanish vessels had taken their
departure for South America, bat without convoy,
so that it is apprehended that some of them will
fall into the hands of Insurgent privateers. This
intelligence is not mentioned in the Paris Papers.

There does not appear to be any abatement of
the fever at Baltimore. During the 48 hours end-
ing on Friday last. 71 new cases had been reported.
to New Yo►k, ■t the last date, only one new cue
had occurred.

The United States srdooner Hornet. —Fears hat.
tog been entertained that this vessel had been lost,
we are happy to state that she rode out the gale on
the 2911 t end 49th of July in the harbour of Pensa-
cola in perfect safety.

The result of the experiment tried by WATSON
and his party on Monday, at Finsbury-market,
must, we are convinced, contribute very much to
disabuse the public mind with regard to the extent
and character of the danger that we are told
threatens the general safety of the country. The
contempt end derision, not to notice the showers of
mud and stoner with which these agitators were
treated by the rubble whom they succeeded in col-
lecting around them, prove that their iisfluence, even
with the lowest and wrist miserable portion of the
mob, is utterly extinct. Not a man could now be
found in the whole extent of the metropolis willing
to r.iise his hand ut the bidding of this fallen and
desperate faction ; and thanks to the confidence re-
posed by the public at large in the independent
portion of the Press, the knowledge of this fact. as
it circulates throughout the country, must produce
N sensible and beneficial effect upon those wbo share
their sentiments in any other port of the kingdom.
The political opinions entertained in the capital
must always possess a very considerable influence
in moulding those of the provinces; and of this
Otitrts and his confederates, in the years 1816
and 1817, seemed to be perfectly aware. for the
argument principally urged by them. in their dia-
bolical negocistions at that period. and which was
found to be the most effectual, was the assurance
that on immense body of Londoners woe ready to
take up elms against the Government. To the Ca-
pital the seditious in the provinces would also gene-
rally look for leaders, and the importance and value
of these must always depend upon their actual or
imaginary influence over the public mind in Lon-
don. But who would repose any confidence in fel-
lows unable, with the assistance of pickpnckete. the
influence of Saint Monday. and the impulse of
curiosity, to catlect only *bent 1,500 or %On° in-
chvidtials, including women and boys. and who were
eventaally compelled to retiest precipitately from
the votlies of stones and mod with which their
fritiiis endeavoured to overwhelm them ? The

We are happy to receive this testimony respecting
the general good temper and feeilag of the people,
from (me who has hitherto endeavoured systema-
tically to defame and degrade them. After such a
declaration, we know not how the same indi-
videsl could advocate the ;propriety of impos-
ing further restraints upon public liberty, or of
'upending the operation of the writ of Habeas
Corpse. We are here told that not only is an
army altogether unnecessary for maintaining pub-
lic tranquillity. best that such is the general
!orally of the people. and their detestation of
revolutionary doctrine", that even were the existing
army not to remain trite to their King and country,
the evil effects of cliche calamity would be counter-
acted by the popular spirit. Why Then are 11,000
additional muskets required for the preservation of
the peace, and why is Parliament summoned ex-
pressly for the purpose of putting down treason
The best security for the Government and the
peace of the community is the affectionate zeal of
the people foe the Throne and the existing insti-
tutions; • few miserable wretches may entertain
sentiments hostile to either, but that the great
body of the limes subjects ■re Imbued with a
strong principle of affection for the form of our
Government, and for the p.e►son of the illo•'rious
Prince who at present sways the sceptre of these
realms, no man will deny who is not an enemy to
both. Against the arts of the seditious let the
Ministers of the Crown exert an ordinary vigilance,
and should they detect their offence", the laws now
existing will. we doubt not. be found "efficient to
punish them.

A meeting was held et Hamilton on Tuesday, to
reconsider the proceedings of the former meeting;
the Duke of HAMILTON was present, as well es
his brother Lord A. HAMILTON, with a number of
the most respectable licritont. His Grace, in •
very animated speech, deplored the distress of the
country. end amiured the mertinft. that he felt it
his duty to do ell he had in his power to alleviate
the distress of the labouring classes. The mien.
yours of his Grace to procure employment for the
unemployed have been crowned with success; and
there remain, no doubt. but that habits of indus-
try. sod • wish to teeter that means of °btu' • g a
livelihood on the one hand. end a prevalent spirit
of beneficence Di the oilier, will be the means of
preseirione peiN and tranquillity in the middle
ward of Lanarkshire.

The Duke of SOMISRIST has signified his inten-
tion of signing the Requisition for calling a Public
Meeting of the Wiltshire Freeholder,. In case the
High Sheriff should be so ill advised as to refuse
calling the meeting, the other great Landed Pro.
prietora of the County will doubtless follow his
Gniesos patriotiz example, and sanction. by their
priiiice and assistance, the assemhlage of the Free-
holders, which the refusal of the Shetif will neither
prevent oar delay. _
It is as yet doubtful, whether Mr. LONG will.
accede to the request of his brother freeholders; bst
it is expected of that gentleman that be will, on Slip
important occasion, forget hr is by marriage s caw.

According to letters from Gibraltar, the Spanish
Government, in order to raise a sum of money for
some immediate purpose, is to admit British mer.
chtridise, whether contraband or not, but to a
limited extent of tonnage, without examination.
This privilege, it is said, is to be purchased by a
body of merchant*, by a contribution of 100,000
dollars, which is the sum required.
