CHELTENHAM, OCT. 25.

This highly favoured place continues all gaiety and
animation. The musical promenades have given place to
amusements more in unison with the season, which are
well supported. We have had a series of most delightful
concerts, the principal performers at which have been
Madame Hyutherland:Cascelli, Mrs. H. R. Bishop, Miss
Powell, Messrs. Bachsa, Mori, H. H. Bishop (the com-
poser), Morelli, Cianchettini, D'Arcis, &c. Masters Hughes
and Phill:pps, the infant performers on the harp and
trumpet, have given several petite concerts, interspersed
with readings and recitations by Miss S. Booth, of the
London theatres. Our old friend Mathews is now paying
us a visit; he was at home to a very large party the other
evening at our assembly rooms, and has issued a fresh
invitation for to-morrow.

For the grand attraction of the week we are indebted to
the Duke of St. Alban's, who, on Tuesday, favoured us
with another flight of his falcons. Hie Grace, as on the
former occ talon, conducted the sport, which was witnessed
with much gratification by a large assemblage, including
nearly all our leading fashionables. At the conclusion,
their Graces of St. Alban's gave a splendid dejeuner a la
fourchette at their residence on Suff,lk Lawn, where they
afterwards entertained a large party at dinner, and closed
the day's festivi►ies with a ball.
From the numerous enquiries after houses, a capital
winter season is expected.

coursed no less than twenty-one bares and a few rabbits,
of which they captured sixteen harts and two rabbits after
some admirable running.

NEW PEERS.—Sir John Wrottesley, Bart.,
and Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart., are both on the list, so
that a new member will be required for each division of
this county. Mr. Methuen, M.P., and Colonel Tynte,
are also of the number.— Staffordshire Mercury.

The Bishop of London is on a tour in De-
vonshire. He attended Divine service at Exeter Cathe-
dral, on Tuesday, and afterwards dined with the Right
Rev. the Bishop of the diocese, at his palace. OnWednesday
he again attended Divine service at the Cathedral, and
afterwards dined with the Right Hon. Lord Rolle, at his
seat at B cton.

The Dean and Chapter of Christ Church
have elected Mr. Francis Robinson one of the Vicars
Choral, in the room of the late Sir John Stephenson.
YORK CATHEDRAL,—We understand, that
the Earl of Scarborough will preach in the cathedral nest
Sunday. On Sunday last, an eloquent discourse was de-
livered there by the Rev. Tlieophilus Brrnes, Prebendary
of Fridaythorp.—Doncaster Gazette.
R. H. Bradshaw, Esq., has exercised the
powers
given him by the Duke of Bridgewater's will, by
.
appointing, at the instance of the Duke of Sutherland,
who is acting for his brother, Lord Francis Egerton (the
present owner of all the property on the Bridgewater

canal), Mr. Sothern, of Woreley, his successor in the
future management of the establishment. His Lordship
is now in Italy with his fam.ily. Mr. Bradshaw retires
with a liberal annuity for his life.—Manchester Guardian.
Mr. W. Jones, timber-meschant, of Cardiff,
having memorialized Government to admit that port to
be a bonded port for timber and deals, the Lords of the
Treasury immediately granted the request. This boon
will be of great benefit to the increasing trade of Cardiff,
as well as to the surrounding district.—Shrewsbury
Chronicle.

NEW FACTORY BILL.—We hear that pre-
parations are making in the neighbourhood of Leeds,
amongst the overlookers and others in factories, to petition
the next Parliament for an eleven hours bill, that is, to
begin work at six in the morning, and end at six in the
evening, taking twenty minutes for breakfast and forty
minutes for dinner —Doncaster Gazette.

Yesterday morning an old woman was pro-
ceeding along the Hampstead-road, apparently much
fatigued, she sat down on the steps of a door, when a person
passing asked her if she was ill. She replied that she was
not ill, but she was exceedingly tired, that she was 95
years of age, and that she was going to St. Pancras Work-
house for her allowance, 58. per week, which she received
from the parish. This was all she had to subsist on, and
pay for her lodging. She said that she was obliged to go
for it herself, as the parochial authorities would pay it to
no one but her. A police constable came up at the time,
and perceived that she was in a dying state, and with the
assistance of another man he proceeded to take her to the
station-house and get her medical advice, but on their
way thither the poor old woman expired in their arms,
nature being completely exhausted. It was 10 o'clock in
the morning when she died, and 3 o'clock in the after-
noon before an order could be obtained from the parish
authorities to take her to the workhouse. The poor old
woman is supposed to reside_ in some one of the allies leading
into Tottenham-court-road.

Friday the foundation-stone of the Glasgow
Merchants' House Cemetery Bridge, or what has been ap-
propriately denominated the " Bridge of Sighs," was laid,
with due solemnity, by the Dean of Guild, in presence of
the directors and a considerable number of F pea tors.
When completed, it is anticipated that the Cemetery, like
Pere-le-Chaise at Paris, while it will afford one of the
most splendid and picturesque views of the city and sur-
rounding country, will of itself become an object of admi.
ration to every stranger, from the delightful manner in
which it has been laid out. The "Bridge of Sighs" was
designed by David Hamilton, Esq., and is to consist of one
fine Roman arch—the whole intended to be in excellent
keeping with the adjoining magnificent cathedral...-.

DANISH TAXES ON LAND.—The imp&
territorial," or land-tax, in Denmark Proper, is levied in
three forms; their joint produce in 1787 was 844,600
rixdollars; and the entire revenue 2,892,000. The land-
tax, therefore, was 29 per cent. of the whole sum raised
from the country. In Norway the revenue was 1,140,000
rixdollars, and the land•tax 322,000, or 28 per cent. In
Sleswick and Holstein the revenue was 1,777,000, and
the land-tax 911,000, no less than 51 per cent. ! A
sum amounting to 1,460,000 arising from the tolls of the
Sound, the profits of a hank, and taxes received from 'the
Danish West India colonies, is not included in the above
statements.

EXTRAORDINARY CABBAGE.--..A cabbage,
of the large Scotch kind, weighing upwards of 31 lbs.
was taken up by Mr. Sitneon Fisher, which grew in
his garden, at Portinscale, near Keswick. There were
some of the outer leaves of this remarkable plant which
measured nearly seven feet in circumference.— White-
haven Herald.

A singular species of incendiarism was com-
mitted last week at Melbury Osmond, by some fellow,
who set fire to a waggon laden with culm, and standing
ing a field. A reward has been offered for his discovery.
—Bath Herald.

THE GLOVE TRADE IN WORCESTER.--
In this city the glove trade is partaking in that activity
which is happily observable in most of our great staple
manufactures at this time. It is true that the demand is
in some degree owing to the supply of goods being short,
in consequence of a considerable number of the work
people having employed themselves in hop-picking, and
other country work; but we cannot help hoping that the
activity in this business will not be temporary. Foreign
skins of some descriptions have advanced from 71. to 101.
per 100.— Worcester Journal.
ROBSON THE ARTIST.—The course he
pursued led him often into whimsical adventures, o
which no man had a keener enjoyment. Drawing, on-
day, in a retired nook in the neighbourhood of Loch Ka
trine, the majestic figure of Kemble, the actor started up
before him like a vision. He was wrapped in a tra•
yelling cloak, which partly concealed his person. Corio-
lanus on the hearth of Tullus Aufidius came into the
artist's mind ; and when the actor, after introducing
himself, and requesting his company to dinner, said with
rather a tragedy air, " I suppose, Sir, you know who I
am ?" Robson replied, in the same tone,

" Thou hast a grim appearance, and thy face
Bears a command in't ;'
" Thou canst be no other than John Philip Kemble."
The artist and the actor met at dinnir, and over a bottle
of right good whisky vowed an eternal friendship. Rob-
son was an ardent lover of Shakspeare, and he often
recalled with pleasure this opportunity of becoming so
intimately acquainted with the great actor whose personi-
fication of the characters of his favourite bard had given
him such exquisite delight. —Lo Studio.

CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—The following
singular circumstance occurred on board the Vesta,
which had cleared out of St. Katharine's Docks for New
York. A few days since, a Dutchman, whose name was
unknown, came on boird, and signified his desire to pro-
ceed to New York and work his passage out. This was
objected to, and the man was ordered on shore. On the
fo lowing day he again came on board, and after a short
time he was missed, and it was thought he had again gone
on shore. This was about mid-day. On the following
day Captain M'Gowan gave orders for removing a part of
the cargo, consisting of packages of pipe clay, to another
stowage ; and, on removing a considerable quantity of it,
they were greatly surprised to find the Dutchman stowed
away beneath the packages of pipe.clay, having put his
feet into a bag, and beside him was a long roll of coarse
bread, a bit of cheese, and a prayer book. The removal of
the pipe-clay was accomplished just in sufficient time to
save the poor fellow's life, as the packages of clay hal
pressed upon him so severely as to deprive him of all
motion, and in a few hours he must have died. He was
immediately placed in a warm bath ; and, after some time
was so far recovered as to be removed on shore for medical
aid. He no doubt calculated upon sustaining life till the
ship got to sea, when he would be carried to New York.
Arr. Cobbett complains that, in return for the
mild and forbearing manner in which be has always con-
ducted himself towards others, he is now cruelly used.
The world are not, perhaps, aware of the degree in which
he possesses the milk of human kindness. When a man's
life has been so remarkably void of offence, it may be
thought hard that he should be requited by unrelenting
persecution. But we shall let him speak for hit/164i—
"0f all mankind lam the most cruelly tna'ed. If I find
fault with the Ministers, I am represented as factious, and
charged with a wish to overturn social order' and our
holy religion.' If I use my feeble effarts in defence of
them, I am represented as crafty, as a ' cunning' fellow,
and, indeed, as resembling the devil himself. In such a
state of things, what is a man to do? I sometimes think
that I will get out of this trouble in one way or another.
1 cannot say that I ever seriously thought of rope or rats-
bane; but, really, this is a life which I cannot lead much
longer. lam not prone to the plaintive style, nor given

We assure the Hon. Member for Oldham that we should
be sorry to hear of his death ; and that, if we outlive him,
we will certainly endeavour to show that Christian virtue
is not with us a mere name, by doing all the justice we
can to his memory. So far from dancing on his grave,
we will then think only on the pleasure he has yielded us
by his admirable descriptions of rural life end rural sce-
nery, and of the services he has rendered to English litera-
ture by his truly English style of writing. We have at
present no intention of attempting his life. It would
grieve us much to be obliged to do violence to him. But
if, con.rary to our wishes and intentions, circumstances
should lead us to do what we should afterwards, we are
sure, bitterly repent, we should do it with all possible
temper, and cause him no more pain than what is inse-
parable from the nature of the ac!.—Morning Chronicle.
An old medical practitioner, named Ducret,
of Thiel, in France, having made several experiments
upon himself by hiking various poisons, and afterwards
neutralising their effects by swallowing antidotes, fancied
that he was perfectly capable of resisting the most violent.
He lately renewed his adventurous potations, and took a
large dose of quicksilver in a glass of white wine. This
time, however, be carried his hardihood too far, for he
died shortly afterwards in the inos horrible convulsions.
