Confidence misplaced, and betrayed, to a very
considerable extent, has incapacitated the Editor, Proprietor,
Printer, and Publisher of The True Briton Newspaper (who
has for some months been all in one) from continuing to render
those services to his country, of which it never stood in greater
need, and reaping, in return, that harvest which, after a most
arduous struggle, had almost ripened for the sickle. One
of those for whom he was largely bound holds a lucintive
office under the Crown, and is now spending its proceeds in
France, while the Editor's numerous family suffers, and has long
suffered, countless priVations, known only within itsclf; and per-
haps the writer may be consigned to the cheerless prospect of pri-
son-walls ; which however, to a heart in its right place, holds
out less actual misery than all the luxuries of Gallic profligacy,
obtained by a crime, which has involved so many innocents in
its consequences. Had the Editor done his duty to his family
and to himself, notwithstanding such accumulated losses by fire;
water, shipwreck, and failures, as are very rare at least, if not
unprecedented, he should even now have been enabled to carry
on the True Briton to a pecuniary profit, second to no Paper
of its class, and to the promotion of a Constitutional spirit of
patriotic independence which could not be other than advan-
tageous to the public weal.
By the downfall of the True Briton, the Agricultural, the
Protestant—in a word, the Constitutional Interest, has lost a
zealous partisan, who, however, waits only means again to en-
ter the lists. The Editor hopes and believes that his exertions
for the welfare of his country, and for the inviolability of the
Constitution, have not been wholly ineffectual. Should he
happily rise from the ruins by which he is at this moment over-
whelmed, he may again hope, at the same time to renew his la-
bours, and his acquaintance with his present friends and pa-
trons. He especially feels that he may conscientiously exult
in the course he has undeviatingly pursued in regard to the Na-
tional System of Education, and to the Protestant Establish-
ment. Should this leave-taking, however, prove not only a
long, but a last farewell, he may, yet, with equal humilty and
confidence, notwithstanding the villainous aspersions which
continue to assail him, say, " I have fought the goodjight—l
have finished my course—l HAVE KEPT TILE FAITn."

Mount Vesuvius, says a letter from Naples,
dated October 622, has just burst oat in one of
the grandest eruptions almost ever beheld. The
burning lava is running fast down the mountain
in a very broad and threatening stream. •

THE LINEN BOARD.—A. full Board of the Go-
vernors was held at the Linen Hall on Tuesday
last, .at which it was patriotically resolved to
grant a sum of BQO/. to be laid out in bounties
and encouragements for the promotion of the
Linen Manufacture in the South of Ireland. This
countenance and assistance will come seasonably
in support of the efforts now making in that
quarter 'to find employment for the people, by
the establishment of the Linen and Hempen
fabrics.—( Dublin Freeman's Journal, Nov. 9.)

MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—On Friday even-
ing last, a girl who had the care of an infitnt at
Ripley, in Surrey, gave an alarm that a mart had
taken the child out of her arms and cut its throat.
She described his person particularly, and stated
that he said if he could not revenge himself oil the
mother, he would on the child. The poor little
infant appeared to be dangerously wounded in
the neck. Pursuit was instantly made in every
direction without success ; and suspicion being
excited as to this story, the girl, on fresh interro-
gations, confessed the whole to be a fabrication,
and that she had accidentally let the child fall
on a broken glass bottle, which inflicted the
wound. The child is not dead. We have since
leained that the infamous girl has confessed she
attempted to cut its throat with a knife, which
was found in the next garden.—(Morning Paper.)
