from Switzerland and Italy," written during a two year's resi-
dence in those countries. 6. Mrs. Radcliffe's Poetical Works;
now first published in a separate form, 2 vols. ; and 7. Mr.
Leigh Hunt's Prose Works, the " Indicator" and " Compa-
nion," two admirable volumes justly pronounced to be worthy a
place in the library next to the " Spectator" and " Tatler."
ABERYSTWYTH, SEPT. 17.—Notwithstanding that
this watering place has during the-season been full to an over-
flow, provisions of all descriptions have continued remarkably
cheap; you may get a fine goose for 25., fowls Is. 6cl. per
couple, eggs 36 for Is., fresh butter 10d. per lb., fine Welsh
mutton 30. and 4d. per lb., and every other consumable
article proportionably cheap.
ROME, SEPT. 4.—Rome is all in a bustle this
morning, Don Miguel and his suite having just now arrived at
Martignoni's Hotel. We have had a grand fete here—last
Sunday the Pope, having publicly beatified Padre Sebastiano
Valfrze, of the Order of the Oratory of Torino. St. Peter's
was splendidly illuminated, and at night there was a fine dis-
play of fireworks. The church of St-. Chiesa Nova was splen-
didly lighted up with, coloured lamps. A fire-balloon, of great
size, was despatched at ten o'clock P. M., so contrived as to drop
fireworks all the way it went.

TUNBRIDGE WELLS, SEPT. 18.—Their Royal
Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria arc
still enjoying the delightful excursions in the neighbourhood
of Tunbridge Wells, which afford such a variety of agreeable
entertainment. On Wednesday last their Royal Highnesses,
attended by Sir John Conroy and the Royal suite, paid a visit
to Mr. Turner's paper-manufactory at Chafford. On their
arrival they were received by Mr. Turner, Captain Cooper,
and Mr. Madden, M. C. On their departure a very fine spe-
cimen of the hop was presented by a gentlemen to her Royal
Highness the Princess Victoria, with the request that she would
accept it as the produce of a Kentish hop-garden.

LYME-REGIS, Sept. 18.--The Corporation have
contracted for the erection of a wall to form a cart-road to the
harbour at all times of the tide. This is one of the improve-
ments proposed at a public meeting, when Mr. Pinney, M. P.,
for the borough, was present, and subscribed 5001. towards
the object. Our worthy vicar has been appointed Rural Dean
of this district, and has visited the several parish churches
within it. Our delightful little town has again its summer ap-
pearance. The Assembly Rooms and Promenade are crowded
with beauty and fashion, and invalids who come here for their
healths soon forget their complaints. Our pleasure-boats arc
all employed; amateur fishermen are to be seen in crowds.
Our land sportsmen are gone a little into the interior for the
partridges, which are plentiful within a few miles of Lyme.

DONTEn, Sept. 18.—This town and neighbourhood
were visited last night by one of the most awful storms of thun-
der and lightning within the recollection of the oldest inhabi-
tant. One clap of thunder at its commencement resembled
the bursting of heavy cannon, and the rolling afterwards con-
tinued for several seconds. The flash of lightning that prece-
ded this peal of thunder set fire to the barn of Mr. Neal of Up-
down between this town and Sandwich, and the flames spread-
ing consumed two corn-stacks and some stabling. The storm
commenced about six, and the thunder and lightning were in-
cessant till eleven, the rain, which is much wanted here com-
ing down in torrents the whole time. It was confidently ex-
pected that something would be done with the wreck of the
Cameleon to-day, but another disappointment has been the re-
sult. Three more bodies have been washed from the wreck
and floated down to Sandgatc.

The Mayor and Chamber of Exeter on• Wednesday
last voted the freedom of the city to the Right Hon. the Earl
of Eldon.—Sherborne Mercury.

Mr. Thomas Henry Hope laves town for Paris in
a few days. He arrived in Hope House, in Duchess-street,
early in the week from Gloucester.

His Majesty's harriers, accompanied by a very nu-
merous field of sportsmen, threw off on Thursday at Old
Windsor, and had a very excellent run.
THE ROYAL LODGE.—lnstructions have been
given to offer for sale the remaining standing part of the Royal
Lodge in Windsor Great Park, the once favourite retreat of
his late Majesty George IV.

A person dressed in a naval uniform was last week
found lying in the road within 200 yards of the turnpike-gate
at Poole. It appeared that the poor fellow had fallen down
in a fit, and that some heartless ruffian bad taken advantage of
his helpless state to rifle his pockets, or, in naval language, to
make off with what little shot there was in his locker.

Yesterday morning a Deputation of. the Common
Council waited upon the Lord Mayor to beg he would appoint
an early clay for the consideration and discussion of certain re-
forms to be proposed in their body, among others that of mak-
ing the situation of Alderman 'annually elective, instead of
for life, when his Lordship begged leave to take time for its
consideration.

FRANCE, SOCIAL, LITERARY AND POLITICAL.
—We are requested to state that this work, by Henry L.
Bulwer, Esq., M. P., in 2 vols., post Bvo., is published this
day by Mr. Bentley, New Burlington-street, and may be had
of all respectable Booksellers, and at all the principal Circu-
lating Libraries in Great Britain. Agents for Scotland,
Messrs. Bell and Bradfute, Edinburgh; for Ireland, Mr. John
Cumming, Dublin.

Mademoiselle Duchesnois, the celebrated tragic ac-
tress of the Paris theatres, finds her means now reduced to
the small pension allowed her by the Theatre Francais. A
pension had been granted to her by Napoleon, which was re-
gularly paid by the Bourbons, but it has been stopped since
the revolution of July. Mademoiselle Duchesnois has retired
for some time from the stage, on account of bad health, and
has been labouring under a long and painful illness.—Journal
des Debats.

A Correspondent says that a star of the first mag-
nitude as a comic actor has appeared at Aberystwyth Theatre,
in the person of Mr. Vincent, who adds to a correct delinea-
tion of the part cut out for him, such a fund of broad and ir-
resistible humour, as is wont to set the house in a roar. His
voice and gesture very much resemble those of the late Mr.
Munden, although Mr. Vincent evidently is by no means a
copyist : he is certainly a young man of considerable talent,
and will no doubt ere long become a great acquisition to one
of the great metropolitans.

Mr. Donaldson, of Broughton Hall, a gentleman
long connected with the Edinburgh Advertiser, has left pro-
perty to the amount of 220,0001., the whole of which he has
destined to be employed in the foundation of an hospital for
orphan and destitute children, to be erected in the neighbour-
hood of Edinburgh. Five gentlemen have been appointed to
carry this bequest into execution ; but owing to the uncertain
terms of the will it may be necessary to procure an Act of Par-
liament before any decisive steps can be taken. Annuities to
the extent of only ten or twelve thousand pounds, to the rela-
tions of the deceased, are the only exceptions to this splendid
foundation, and these fall, of course, with the lives of the res-
pective annuitants.

Captain Medwin, the intimate friend of Lord Byron,
has seen much and heard more, amidst the stirring society in
which his lot has been cast. His new production, called
" The Angler in Wales," is a most amusing work—half fic-
tion, half reality, on trout-fishing and tiger-hunting, Wales
and India, Walton and Lord Byron. Our gallant Captain is
one of those pleasant companions who rattle away on all
topics ; and he is, strange to say, uniformly entertaining.
These volumes are supposed to be the journal of an angler,
who, with a certain Mr. Julian, and a friend of the name of
Charters, sets out on a fishing excursion through Wales.
Many and learned are their disquisitions on the best mode of
catching trout--fly-fishing against trolling, moths against sal-
mon-paste. It is impossible, indeed, to convey to the reader
an adequate idea of the infinite variety presented in these
pages. The numerous beautiful illustrations, let us add,
heighten their attraction.

James Johnstone IVl‘Cleverty, who has been dis-
missed his Majesty's service by the sentence of a Court Mar-
tial for not keeping a proper look out when officer of the watch
on board his Majesty's ship Castor, is the youngest son of
Colonel M'Cleverty, of the Marines, who has actually served
upwards of fifty-six years. His grandfather circumnavigated
the globe with Commodore afterwards Lord Anson, in the
Centurion of 50 guns, and died at Waterford in 1779.'• •He
was for his merit promoted through the various ranks to that
of Post Captain by his noble friend and patron. When he
commanded the Gibraltar, and was employed in the Medi-
terranean, he was ordered to watch the French fleet then in
harbour off Toulon. This service he performed with such
zeal and activity, in circumstances of great difficulty, that it
led to the destruction of M. de la Clue's squadron.

MADElRA.—Accounts were yesterday received from
Madeira, bearing date the Ist of September inclusive. The
recent tonnage duties imposed upon vessels anchoring for sup-
plies was still the chief subject of interest there. The agent
to Lloyd's, however, at that island states his belief that it
could not have been contemplated by the Portuguese Govern-
ment that these imposts should have been enforced there, and
that, in all probability, when the representations of the mer-
chants shall have reached Lisbon, they will be rescinded so
far as the island of Madeira is concerned. In fact the tax or
duty, or whatever it may be called, seems perfectly inexpli-
cable. The Lady Rallies Indiaman since the previous advices
had arrived off Madeira, on her voyage to Bombay, and had
received her supplies while under weigh, thereby escaping the
charge of the duty.
LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, SEPT. 18.—We
continue to have a good demand for cotton. This day's trans-
actions reach 3,900 bags, at very full prices, for American
descriptions, and at an advance generally of id. and 4d. per
lb on long stapled cotton.
