TO CORRESPONDENTS.

A Cormpondent, who sahscribes himself !Bern, is very
angry at our assertion, in our' Review of Political Declaimers,
last Sunday, " that Cobbetes arguments against the utility of
the learned languages imposed only upon those who were as ig-
norant as himself." In refutation of this remark, Ifirrn
states that he himself is a learned man ; that he had formed
from his own reflections the same conclusions vt ith (abbot,
even before he had read Cobhett's disquisitions, and that several
respectable Philosophers were of the same opinion. All this
may be very true, but it is no refutation of what sic advanced ;
for it appears that neither the irarned liken, nor these deceased
Philosophers, nor indeed ally intelligent person we have ever
heard of, derived their conviction on this subject from )Ir. Cob.
beit's reasonings.
We are much obliged to Vcrila4 and I', Ir. K. for teirh
friendly hints, and shall look for tho future favour of them.
selves and their friends only in proportion as the faults they
alliade to are remedied.

The complaint of a titglerterl Irtist will speedily meet with
consolation on a scale that, we trust, will sotiz.ry his ex peeta
lions. We shall be obliged to him for the communication or
any thing in his Art, which has been neglected, and vet is
worthy of the Public notice.
Our Correspondent G. will have the candour to make an
allowance for the ditli;rence of taste, and will accept our thanks
for his pretty etrusion, though w•e are at present prevented by
the remonstrances of many other Correspondents from inserting
Poetry.

We shall be happy if our strictures on ignorant and 1 nprin:
cipled declaimers prove as convincing to the rest of the world*

Our,Government has authorised the Governors of Guern-

sey and Jersey to issue licences to trade between. those
Islands and the French ports, even in French vessels, .if un-

A Cabinet Council sat yesterday in Downing-street, at
the breaking up of which the. American Ambassador had
an audience with his Majesty's Ministers. •
Friday the dividends began to be paid at the Rank
to the Public; the Bankers, and some of the first Mer-
chants, had their warrants issued to them on Wednesday
and Thursday ; but this, though some accommodation to
them, gives them no priority of payment over the Public
in general:
It .has.been stated that Lord Hutchinson, Colonel Hutch-
juson. and Colonel Bustace, have been captured on hoard
a packet, and carried into Norway. We have. made liar
Ocular inquiry into tliC truth of the report, and ca no
trace it to any respectable source whatever. t
The body of Captain Lydiard, of his Majesty's late ship-
-Anson.. was picked up on the Ist inst. and brought to Fal-
mouth on the 2d, for interment ; his remains were attended
to the gravehy Vice-Admiral Cotton. and all the other na-
val Officers at that port, and many of the military (ninoagst
whom were General Spencer), a party of marines from the
men of war, and a party of the Oxford Militia fired three
collies over his grave; his interment was also attended by
the Mayor and Corporation, and most of the respectable
part of the inhabitants of the town.
A Court Martial was held .on Thursday last at Ply-
Mouth, on board the Salvador del Mundo, 112 guns, on
the surviving officers of his Majesty's late frigate the
Anson, when the whole.of
.the Officers. ;with the exception.
df the-Master, were unanimously acquitted. The fatter
Officer was sentenced to be admonished, for not having ful-
filled, to the utmost, the duties of his station.—There was
not on board the Anson any prisoner in irons, as has been
reported, at the time of the loss.

had been anis-recited, inasmuch as the actual title of the Act

the captiousness of critical feelings. I do not even wish,
as far as this preacher is individNally concerned, to lessen
him in the minds of those who have uniformly sat under his
ministry.
Consistently with my own convictions, however, i cannot
accord with those who have described Mr. Wood as an un-
commonly splendid pulpit character. The injudiciousaess
of our friends is sometimes as injurious as the malignity
of our foes. I therefore submit it to the patrons of this
preacher, whether, in claiming for him the highest distinc-
tion, they may not diminish the effect of those impressions
of respectability which his sermons really create in the
minds of impartial men ?
Mr. Wood, it should be mentioned, is the author of nu-
merous Pions Tracts, of which utility and benekinlity arc •
the prominent objects. His humanity deserves to be dis-
tinguished, and his liberality to be universally imitated.
Oehim it will be honourably said, when his talents have
long ceased to be the tpioc of human discussion, " that
be went about doing. good."
His principles and manners are equally entitled to enco-
mium. He is orthodox in his religion, and loyal in his
politics : his temper is benevolent, his manners are con-
ciliating, and his whole character is winning. Providence,
however, has been signally bountiful to him ; and it would
he strange if, consOutionally happy and circumstantially
prosperous, his general conduct did not excite both esteem
and affection.

REV. BASIL WOOD, M. A.
or

RFCNTIAUI CHAPEL, LESSON GREEK.

IT is not easy to explain the causes to which some cha-
racters owe their celebrity. Without any commanding
claims on public atteu*on, without paramount preteasions
to popularity, without the irresistabilityof superior genius,
there are persons who, nevertheless, rise high into repu-
tition among their contemporaries, and consider them-
selves established in the estimation of mankind. Descrip-
tion. however, has anticipated this species of merit. Of
the companions of this order of excellence, it may be as-
sameil, at least, that they are 44 giants among pigmies."
and tt the one-eyed monarchs of the blind." They shine
by contrast. if not by comparison. These constitute the
s:ifter satellites, the lesser luminaries, of the intellectual
hPinisphere. They serve us in the absence of ineriaian
diligence. If they canna', challenge our admiration, still
they are deserving of our gratitude. If they 410 not at-
tract our astonishment, they sometimes attach our atter-
t,on. While they fail to excite wonder, they may s!ill
communicate delight.
The Rev. BASIL WOOD, descended from respectable
and religious parents, was by them sent to the University
('ONfortl, where he proceeded to the degree of A. M.
He is now proprietor and Minister of Bentinck Chapel, on
Limn Green, the Afternoon-Lecturer of St. Peter's, at.
eornhill, Hector of Drayton, and Chaplain to the Most
Noble the Marquis Townshend. The sphere of his duty
H midently extensive, and he certainly tills it with fidelity.
It i. something, then, to be accounted a faithful Minister
of Christianity ; hut it is more, to be estimated as an able
eud painb-taking Servant of the Gospel of Jesus Christ !
o'l. for more of those " burning and shining lights,"
which, having " turned many to righteousness," shall
shine for ever and ever, as fixed stars,. in the galaxy of
an immortal glory ! Let us know to appreciate, and ear-
nestly implore, fresh examples of ecclesiastical excellence ;
of that almost indescribable union, in the same individual,
of divinity and Lumanity,—of solid learning with religious
roar—of the deepest inform Mimi of mind, with the

On Friday night, a pretended new melo-drama, entitled, The
Forest of Ilermenstad, or Princess and no Princess. was acted
at this theatre. This literary theft proves that folly has many
chainpiinis, hut that her stock of arms is nearly exhausted, since
two of licit most distinguished soldiers are obliged to fight in turn
with the same weapon. Scarcely had it dropped from Mr.
Skc:lington's hand, than Mr. Dihdin slily picked it up, and then
boldly alpailed sense, taste, and wit, with most unblushing im-
pudence. More fortunate than his robbed companion, unde-
served success crowned his cause, and loud plaudits, every one
of which proclaimed its author an undescerning patron of non-
sense, rewarded his temerity.
We congratulated the Drury Lane audience last week, on the
judzinent they displayed iu emulemaing two miserable pieces to
merited oblivion. We expressed our hope, cay our conviction,
that such severity would burst the slumbers of true genius, and
at length overpowerand annihilate ignorance and its silly brood.

Highly as I respect the character of Mr. Jay, and willing
as lam to allow-all possible credit to his public exertions,
I cannot consent to class 'him among the eminently distin-
guished divines of the age. Ile began, as we have seen, to
preach very early in life ; and he probably owes much of
his popularity to that circumstance. It is something, how-
ever, to have firmly retained his first. reputation. I trust
that he is as happy in other respects ; that profession is ne-
wer at variance with principle ; that experience, instead of
changing, has only confirmed the convictions of youth. I
-confess, commonly speaking, that I entertain man y appre-
hensions respecting juvenile conversions. The man is too
often destined to unlearn what the boy has been induced to
believe. This I say generally.
Considering him as a writer, I have now no concern
with Mr. Jay. Ofissr.uus.

cession was made round the great qoadrangle of the College,
troni the Hall to the Chapel. On entering the Chapel, n hick
was illuminated, the Lord !Bishop. Chief Mourners. and

the hest means of estimating the height and variety of his at-

The most important article of this neck is a Commend
tat y, in the ilonheur, upon the Answer of our Ministers
to the Russian Declaration, It is intended as a complete
defence of the Russian Goyernment, and is, in sonic in-
stances at least, very ingenious and plausible. With the
usual prolixity of Crencluneu, it is extended, to an into-
lerable length ; and we shall, therefore, endeavour to pre-
sent our readers with such a satisfactory abridgement of
it, as may gratify their curiosity, without fatiguing their
patience.

The first circumstance alluded to, is the affirinatioo of
our Ministers that they had information of the secret en-
gagements at Tilsit, which justified their attack upon
Copenhagen. Tu this the Manliestr replies, by deciar.

I come to occupy this Throne, prepared by victory, raised by
the assent of the I.,,reatest powers of Europe, founded on n title
no less sacred, by 3 our real interest.
Too long has your country suffered from the preten;ions of
fimilies and Cie intrigues of cabinets : von were exposed to all
the calamities of wars, and you were excluded from all the be-
petits of peace. Some of your towns only reaped the barren
honour of annexing their names to treaties, in which nothing
. Vas overlooked but the well being of the people who inhabited
them.
How widely different are the results of the wars stirred up
nainst the ;tumult head of my !louse! It is for nations that N:a-
poleon has conquered; and each of the Treaties he has ctut-
dilded, is a step farther towards the end proposed by his
mighty genius, of giving to entire nations a political existence,
governments and laws dictated by wisdom, the emablisliment to
each of thcat txfa country, and the dereliction hereafter of node
in that depldrable nullity, in 'w hick they were equally unable
, either to steer clege Of war, and avail themselves of peace.

oaw icst, JA 13.—At the Norfolk Agricultural Meeting
held in this city on Friday last, in addition to the usual pre-
miums, one of 201. was offered to the farmer who should, by ti'ed-
ing 20 cart horses in the cheapest manner, ascertain the smallest
quantity of food necessary to maintain them in good working or-
der, mid premiums of smaller value were likewise voted in pro-
portion to the number of horses on which the experiment was
made. A fifth part of the money in addition was also voted to
the servant 3 attunding them, as an encouragement to aid in the
trial. Premiums were also offered to the consideration of the
Society. to be given to cotters tilling any garden, or other
ground, who should render it the most profitable, and thus be
enabled to maintaia :acir fumilies at less expeucc, and be less
liable to want relief of their phrish.
