MONUMENT"rO ADMIRAL RUSSEL.

POOLE, AUG. 24.—A very Itandsorno Monu-
ment Las lately been erected in the Church of Canford Magna,
to the memory of the late Admiral RussEL. It consists of
a large tablet of statuary marble, surmounted by appropriate
naval trophies, and underneath is the Admiral's coat of arms,
with this motto, " Che sara, sara." The wlfole is plaCed on
a dove-coloured ground, and the execution of it is highly
creditable to the abilities of Mr. H. HARRIS, of this town.

Sacred to the Memory
of
THOMAS MACNAMARA RUSSEL, Esquire,
Admiral of the White,
Late Commander-in-Chief
In the North Seas.
He actively served his Country seventy Years,
With Ardour, Bravery, and Ability ;
And combated her Enemies in
Thirty-six Engagements.
His most undaunted Spirit of Enterprize,
During the first Revolutionary Wars of
America and France,
Was unrivalled.
In 1784 he was offered the Honour of Knighthood,
And, at the Close of his brilliant Career
He received the warmest Acknowledgments from the
Admiralty fur his superior Conduct as a
Naval Chief,
His successful Blockades of the
Texel,
During the threatened Invasion of our Shores,
Was conducted on a new and admirable system of his own ;
He was the first
Who had ever dared to anchor a Fleet there,
In the strongest Gales of a Northern Winter,
And on an Enemy's Lee Shore !
Heligoland
Surrendered to him, by which he secured invaluable
Advantages to his Country.
The magnanimous, intrepid, and generous Heart
Of a British Seaman
Was united in Him'
With the Urbanity of a Courtier.
He departed this Life
On the 22d Day of July, 1824, in his 85th Year.
Elizabeth, his Wife, died •
On the 2d Day of March, 18)8, in her fifith Year.
This Tribute to departed inestimable Worth,
Is affectionately inscribed by his Son-in-law,
George Edward Paley, Lieut. R.N.
lire cannot here omit paying a small tribute of respect to the
affectionate regard of Lieutenant PALEY, in thus erecting a
Monument to perpetuate the Memory of his GP t Father-in-
law. It is an act which does honour to his feelings; and whilst
it will hand down the deeds of the Admiral for posterity to look
up to and imitate, they will also admire the affection which ac-
tuated the Son-in-law.

Sc. PETERSBURGII, AUG. 6.—On the 29tli of
last month the first stone was laid of the new magazine, which
is to be built by his Majesty's command in the square of the
Exchange. It is to be 96 fathoms in length, 12 in breadth, and
as many in height, and will be raised so high that the goods
deposited will not be reached by the water, however the rivers
may rise.-Accounts from Feodosia state that a ship had ar-
rived there from Redut-Kale, in Mingrelia, laden with tobacco,
walnuts, walnut-tree plants, and other articles, which is a proof'
of the intercourse between Mingrelia and the coast of Natolia,
and shows, too, that from the moderate duties commerce hegira
to turn towards ,Mingrelia, which country will become in time
a staple for the trade, not only with Georgia and Persia, but with
the South of Russia. Supplies of corn continue to arrive at
Feodosia, both by land and by the sea of Asof. The harvest in
general had suffered but little from the locusts.
CONVEYANCE IN BRITAIN.—The rapidity with
which intelligence and passengers are co; and communi-
cations accelerated, in this country, has become very remark-
able. Thus, from our present mail arrangements, the pales
and letters which left London last Saturday evening,
at 8
r. 31. reached this city at a quarter past •5 r. M. last night, or
in 454 hours. After a stoppage of 5 hours here, during which
the public news are printed, and the private communicato
answered if necessary, these leave this at half-past 10 last
night, reach Edinburgh about four this morning, stop
there four hours (till BA. .m.) and then proceed to London,
'which they reach before 6 A.M. on Thursday morning, return-
ing to the metropolis in four days and ten hours. The distarce
run is 838 miles in 105 i hours, including the time necessa y
Ibr ordinary stoppages, for refreshments, giving out and taking
in mails, and also nine hours of extra stoppages, for the pur-
pose of commercial business anti other matters. The rate at
which the above distance is run a little under nine miles en
hour, including all the ordinary stoppages; but, exclusive of
these, at the rate of 9.i miles per how.—(Glusgow
