dressed, under a conviction that the language is
not too strong to be applied to them. The abo-
minable trash they severally vend as the lawful
and legitimate objects of their professed trades is
well known, the ►nischiefs done by them remain in
secret ; but" HE who seeth in secret shall reward
them openly." The practice of adulterating every
thing that is used by man for the support of his
body is encreasing daily, and unless put a stop to,
bids fair to depopulate the country by untimely
and premature deaths occasioned by the noxious
potions and poisonous food administered to us by
the dealers in the first necessaries of life.

But do not let the Butchers imagine they have
no part in this reprobation,. they are too much
in the habit of selling meat either originally unfit
for sale, the animal having died of a disease,
or having :subsequently become- tainted and It-
wholesome. Such men as these are equally
odious with their brethren who adulterate their
articles by improper mixtures, and many severe
and politic laws are in existence for the punish-
ment of such crimes, which we should wish to see
put in force with the greatest severity, in order to
check a crime so extensively mischievous as that
to which we allude. The cases lately brought
before the different Police Offices have led us
into these remarks—remarks which we think
such a crime deserves, from the incalculable evils
it occasions, and the extreme misery it inflicts
upon the inhabitants of this vale of team

The several statements of the departure from
town of Captain CLAPPERTON, for the interior of Africa,
have been incorrect. That intrepid traveller received his final
instructions from the Secretary of State's office for the Colonies,
on Thursday, and left town the same evening for Portsmouth,
where he will directly embark on board the Brazen frigate,
Captain WILLEs, for the Bight of Benin. In the hazardous
journey of exploring his way to Sockatoo, he will be accom-
panied by Dir. DmicsoN, who proceeds in the capacity of sur-
geon and naturalist, and by Captain RonEnT PEAncE and
Dr. 310antsox. On reaching the interior, the two latter offi-
cers proceed to the lake Tsad, and after inspecting its various
coasts, will pursue an eastern coarse towards Abyssinia. From
all information hitherto received, there is strong reason to sup-
pose that the Niger, or Joliba, falls into the sea somewhere in
the vicinity of the Bight of Benin, and is not connected with
the Nile, as hitherto has been conjectured. Sanguine hopes
are entertained that Captain CLAPPERTON and his adven-
turous partners may reach Timbuctoo before Major LAING,
whose departure took place about six months since, by the
route of Tripoli. The present mission has the intention of
opening a new channel for the extension of our commerce.—

The Duke of WELLINGTON was to leave Paris
on Thursday for Brussels.

Mr. CONTINE, the lonian Messenger, arrived
on Thursday evening at the Colonial Office, with
dispatches from Lieut.-General Sir FREDERICK
ADAM, K.C.8., at Ancona.
The King of FttANCE, it is said, on St. Charles's
Day intends to make several promotions in the
Orders of St. Louis and the Legion of Honour.
The army is to receive 500 Crosses.

PARIS; AUG. 24.—The Academy of Inscrip.
tions and Belles Letters have nominated \V►n.
Humboldt, the brother of the traveller, and
Creuzer, to the two places in the Academy,
vacant by the death of Wolff, of Berlin, and
Widford, of Calcutta. W. Humboldt is known
by his Researches in the Sanscript Language;
and M. Creozer has excited a great deal of in-
terest. in Germany, by his work on the Symbols
of the Ancients.

SUICIDES AND LOTTERIES.—The Courier Fran.
cats says, speaking of the number of suicides
committed in Paris' compared with the number
committed in London, that whatever causes the
wretchedness of the people, causes suicide. But
why is this cause more powerful in Paris than in
London, Vienna, or Berlin ? If it be so, is it not
necessary that Paris should have 152 Lottery
Offices, which raise from the lowest classes
-of the people an annual sum of twenty-five
millions ? Must the speculations on the Stock
Exchange be curbed when they produce
19 millions yearly to the brokers ? It is not ne-
cessary that Paris pays 51 millions levied by
order of a Council nominated by the Ministry,
than to have only the half to pay if levied by a
Council appointed by the inhabitants ? Can the
gambling-houses be shut up when they yield 11
millions a year ?. These are good reasons then,
for not altering the present state of things, and
we must not think of such a trifle as one-eight of
the population being reduced to poverty, and the
number of suicides, without example in any
foreign capital.
DEATH OF TILE EARL OF MAR.—It is with re.
gret that we this day announce the death of JonN
FnAstcrs Earl of MAR, who so lately was restored
to the ancient and illustrious peerage of his an-
cestors. This venerable Nobleman died suddenly
at his house in Shand wick-place, on Saturday
evening, in the 85th year of his age.. He is suc-
ceeded by his son John Thomas, Lord Erskine
and Garioch, now Earl of Mar.—(Edinburgh
Courant, Aug. 25.)

HOLYWELL-STREET.----We have received many
complaints against the Jew Inhabitants of this
street, for their treatment of passengers. It is
the constant practice, it seems, of the men to
place their chairs on the pathway where they
sit smoaking, and enjoy the Humour of saluting
v
women, as they pass, with the fumes of to-
ebaeicc'o, obliging them also to walk in the road,
however dirty. If the passengers, male or fe-
male, remonstrate, they are taunted with insult.
We have noticed this nuisance before, but with-
out effect, and hence we conclude that there-is
no Street-Keeper for that place, or that he is
grossly neglectful of his duty.
Mrs. BTLZONI, we find, has been invited by
some of the chief inhabitants of Bristol, under
the promise of liberal patronage, to exhibit her
Egyptian Antiquities in that city. This invita-
tion is very creditable to the people of Bristol, a
place that is now characterized by taste in the
Fine Arts, as well as by commercial importance.
The township of Frampton, ten leagues from
Quebec, has lately been visited by a great many bears, which
have destroyed some cattle, and considerably lacerated others.
