at present comfortably settled. From Dr. Rose and his amiable
family we are certain they will meet with a warm and cordial
reception, and receive every kindness and attention which they
may require, in the wilds of Pennsylvania : we hope they will
soon find a home. Mr. Hogg has been accompanied to this
country by the Rev. Mr. Jardine, who will act as pastor to a
colony of his countrymen which Dr. Rose is about to establish
on his beautiful and extensive property at Silver Lake—

MR. MARTIN'S ACT.—The officers of the Animals'
Friend Society last week caused Edward Brockman, John
Sampson, and John Pickering to be fined 10s. and costs each,
by Messrs. Keine, Trecothick, and Nethersole, for cruelty to
animals at Margate.

NEGLECT OF GENIUS.—Of Cuvp, the painter,
now so much admired, we are informed that it was not for
more than a century after his death that his genius was pro-
perly estimated by his countrymen ; that down to the year
1750 there is no instance in all the Dutch catalogues to which
the compiler has referred, of any picture by this artist having
sold for more than thirty florins, something less than three
pounds I Their value, it is said, was first made known by
English amateurs, and their demand for them first affected the
price at the sale of M. Slingelant, in 1785. Of their in-
creasing value the following is a curious proof. A landscape,
now in the possession of Mr. Perkins, then sold for the sup-
posed high price of 501. ; subsequently, in 1798, it brought
2611. ; in 1806, 370 guineas ; and in 1821, its present pos-
sessor gave for it no less than I,36sl.—Athenwum.
CLERICAL CONUNDRUM. —ln a certain large
town, which shall be nameless, one of the reverend gentle-
men to whom the spiritual instruction of the inhabitants has
been confided, is very fond of requesting some of his brethren
to officiate for him in his church. " Pray," asked an ob-
served, " why is Mr. So-and-so like England? Do you give
it up ? Because he Expects every man to do his duty.' "

TRUE LEARNING IS TRUE RICHES AND
TEACHES THE TRUE ENJOYMENT OF RICHES.,--RiChes Con-
sist in a sufficiency of thing, for our real wants; learning
teaches us to moderate our desires, to make a right estimate of
our wants, and to possess a spirit of generous and philosophi-
cal moderation, and satisfaction with a competence. True
learning secures us from a boundless and a wild extravagance,
luxury and profusion ; it teaches us to acquire the friendship
of the wise and good, and gives us the sweet fruition of civil
liberty and peace.

LEARNING.-Learning consists in a thorough
knowledge of books and facts, in a just and accurate acquain-
tance with the characters of men, times and ages, ancient and
modern—in a just search and investigation of the springs and
causes of things, in order to explain the operations of nature,
the powers of man and his connexion with God and with the
universe; that we may point out and always pursue the noblest
ends of our external existence, the best use of our capacities,
the highest relish of our enjoyments, and the best application
of our faculties; to polish and dignify our nature and promote
the honour of God as the supreme source of existence, and
" the Giver of every good gift."

BEES.—On Thursday evening last Mr. Nutt gave
a lecture at the Mechanics' Institution, Lincoln, on the humane
management of bees. Although the weather on that evening
was very unfavourable, yet upwards of 250 persons were pre-
sent, and amongst them we observed many of the faculty and
their ladies. The lecturer gave very great satisfaction, and it
is only an act of justice to Mr. Nutt to say, that we hope, in
civilized times like the present, his plan for humanity to the
bee may become generally adopted, as by his system many
millions of the lives of those industrious insects might be pre-
served, which are annually sacrificed for want of better in-
struction.—Boston Herald.

WEATHER AND HARVEST.—OVer the whole of
Scotland there appears to have been extremely heavy rain early
on the morning of Friday last, but it cleared up by six o'clock,
and we hope it has been equally good weather since in all
other parts as with us. Friday and Saturday were free from
rain, but not very droughty, and there was not much inning of
the grain ; but yesterday was quite splendid, with bright sun-
shine and a fine breeze. We may consequently hear of a great
deal of good work being performed .this day, should it keep
good, of which there is at present every promise. There is a
considerable quantity of oats in the stook in this western dis •
trict, and some still to cut ; there is also much of the black-
victual unsecured.— Glasgow Herald.

A COMPLIMENT.—" Well, Smith," said a lady at
Richmond to a waterman, who had brought some trunk for
her from town, and to whom, in addition to his boatages, she
had given a glass of made wine, of her own manufacture—
" how do you like my currant-wine ?"—" Why, upon my
word, ma'am," says Jack, smacking his lips, hitching up his
trowsers, smoothing his hair down upon his forehead, and de-
sirous of being particularly civil—" upon my word, ma'am, it's
almost as good as bad sherry !"

A NICE POINT OF LAW.—Blackstone, speaking
of the right of a wife to dower, asserts that if land abide in the
husband for a single moment, the wife shall be endowed
thereof ; and he adds in a note that this doctrine was extended
very far by a jury in Wales, where the father and son were
both hanged in one cart; but the son was supposed to have
survived the father, by appearing to struggle the longeM,
whereby he became seized of an estate by survivorship, in
consequence of which seisin a wife obtained a verdict for her
dower.

THE CAVAN ORANGEMEN.—Great preparations
are making for the great meeting on the 20th, and by letters
which we received from Cavan we understand that consider-
able alarm is felt in the town and its vicinity. We should
suppose that Government has received similar representations,
and that they may find it necessary to move troops into the
neighbourhood. Lord Roden and Mr. Boyton both declare
that it is expedient the Protestants should exhibit their physical
force--that great masses of Protestants should be congregated.
Whether these seditious people will, or whether they can, put
their menaces in execution, it will be only prudent to prepare
for the worst.—Evening st.

Yesterday morning, a few minutes after 7 o'clock, a
young gentleman of the name of Hayes, between 19 and 20
years of age, residing in Sloane-street, Chelsea, was bathing
in the Serpentine River, on the side of Knightsbridge Bar-
racks, when he was heard by a trooper of the Royal Horse
Guards (Blue), who was also near the spot bathing at the
time, to exclaim " Help! help! lam drowning." The sol-
dier immediately swam to that part of the water from whence
the sound appeared to issue, but from the dense fog that pre-
vailed some time elapsed before he could get sight of the
young gentleman ; at length, however, he discovered him en-
tangled among some weeds, and with difficulty the soldier
succeeded in getting him on shore, where Mr. Hayes was so
far recovered that he was enabled with assistance to walk to
his residence.

SUICIDE.--A Coroner's Inquest was held yesterday
evening, on the body of Captain William Cooke, a Post Cap-
tain in the Royal Navy, who put a period to his existence by
blowing out his brains. The evidence proved that the unfor-
tunate Gentleman had been labouring under delusions for
some time, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary
Derangement."

SINGULAR SUICIDE.—On Wednesday an Inquest
was held at the Goldsmith's Arms, Ealing, before Thomas
Stirling, Esq., on view of the body of Thomas Taylor, aged
20, who committed self-destruction, by drowning himself in a
water-butt, under the following circumstances :--Mr. William
Hicks, farmer, of Acton, deposed, that on Tuesday the de-
ceased applied for accommodation for a few days, as he was in
a poor state of health. Witness let him some rooms in the
house, and in the evening the deceased took possession of
them, bringing at the time his luggage, which consisted of
trunks, &c. The deceased appeared in a very poor state of
health and looked very wild. He (deceased) went to bed
early in the evening. About twelve o'clock the deceased left
his bedroom and went into the yard. The deceased not re-
turning, although an hour had nearly elapsed, witness went out
and searched atout the premises, and at length discovered the
unfortunate young man in a water-butt, which was nearly full
of water. The legs were sticking upright, the head being
downwards. Witness gave an instant alarm, and having pro-
cured assistance, the deceased was extricated. The Jury re-
turned a verdict " That the deceased drowned himself while in
a state of temporary mental derangement."
HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.—On Wednesday night
last nine armed ruffians went to a house in the neighbourhood
of Holycross, in this county, where a man named M'Carthy
had been placed as keeper on corn. They dragged the un-
fortunate man out of bed, and beat him in a most ferocious
manner, having previouslyfired two shots at him without effect,
the ball of one of which passed under his arm, and grazed his
side. They then broke one of his arms in pieces, and, hor-
rible to relate, actually cut the flesh from his thighs with a
shovel.—Clonmel Advertiser.

ACCIDENT IN NASSAU-STREET.—Yesterday, an
officer belonging to the First Royals, whose name we have not
learned, received a fall from his horse in Nassau-street, by
which he broke his leg. He was conveyed to his quarters in
Beggar's Bush Barracks immediately after the accident, on a
jaunting car, where he immediately received the surgical as-
sistance necessary for his case.--Freeman's Journal.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.--A young man
named Clarke, while bathing in the docks at Ringsend, last
week, was seized with cramp, which so completely deprived him
of the use of his limbs that he sunk never to rise. His mother
and two sisters, who had accompanied him to walk, had only
