THE TREE OF DISSIPATION.

The
sin of
drunkenness
expels reason,
drowns memory,
diminishes strength,
distempers the body,
defaces beauty, corrupts the
blood, inflames the liver, weakens
the brain, turns men into walking
hospitals, causes internal, external, and
incurable wounds, is a witch to the senses, a
devil to the soul, a thief to the pocket,
the beggar's companion, a wife's woe,
and children's sorrow—makes man
become a beast and self-murderer,
who drinks to others' good
health, and robs himself
of his own!
The
root of
all evil is
DRUNKENNESS ! ! !

THE LATE FLOOD.-The heavy rain of
Monday has been productive of the worst effects in va-
rious parts of the country. The Kelvin overflowed ite
banks to a great breadth, and on Tuesday morning, the
surface of the water, in the neighbourhood of Kirkintil-
loch, was completely covered with sheaves of corn and
black victual. Between Falkirk and Edinburgh, a pota-
toe field, consisting of about 20 acres, was covered with
water to the depth of about four feet; and round Stir-
ling, by Kippen, Thornhill, &c., the damage done to po-
t itoes and the outstanding corn, is very considerable.—
Edinburgh Evening Courant.

An extraordinary growth of grapes in Lanca-
shire, as lately stated in the papers, induced a gentleman,
a few miles west of this city, to count the crop upon his
wall. This wall has the advantage of being painted black.
The vines are four in number, are trained serpentine, and
have been plentifully supplied with soap suds. Three of
them are the sweet-water, and one the black Burgundy.
In a year not favourable to wall fruit those grapes have
ripened very well. In a length of eleven yards and two
feet, upon a south wall, of the average height of ten feet
three inches, a careful reckoning gave the number of 962
bunches. The Hampton Court vine (said to have been
planted by WILLIAM the Third) covers a length of 40 feet
by a breadth of 20 ; and it is stated to have frequently
produced a ton weight of grapes !—Hereford Journal.
PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—An accident of
a frightful character befell a party of pleasure on the even-
ing of Wednesday, the 3d current, on the Pentland Hills.
The day was both windy and wet ; and towards the after-
noon, in those high grounds, it blew a perfect hurricane,
which nothing could resist. Notwithstanding, the party
moved off to Habbie's How, the appointed place of ulti.
mate rendezvous, in coaches, cabriolets, and other equi-
pages, escorted by a retinue of attendants After passing
the day in viewing the mountain scenery, the party re-
turned homewards highly delighted, but towards the east
end of the Crawley, and where the road leads along the
precipitous banks of that pond, in rather an exposed situa-
tion, one of the coaches, containing four ladies and two
gentlemen, was unfortunately driven so close to the road
side, that before the horses could be curbed the whole were
in a twinkling precipitated down a rugged steep, 43 yards
below the level of the road, and within one or two of the
water's edge, which in that particular spot is some fathoms
deep. The whole party, except one gentleman, who es-
caped with a few scratches, were seriously injured. One
of the ladies had several severe contusions on the head and
shoulders, and the sinews of the neck were fearfully strained
and swollen. Another lady was also much bruised. She
had three combs broken in her hair by the fall, some frag-
ments of which slightly perforated the bead, and although
the injury at first seemed rather alarming, it is now com-
paratively trivial. The other two ladies and remaining gen-
tleman were considerably hurt. The coachman had both
his shoulders dislocated, besides sustaining several bruises
in the chest and abdomen. The coach was much da-
emaonged, andsi,ieraia the

extricated
from their perilous situation, rendered doubly so by the
darkness of the night, but at length assistance being pro-
cured, they were providentially rescued.
PICTURE OF A KING.—" 0. P. Q." the
well-known Parisian correspondent of the Morning Chro-
nicle, thus describes the " Beloved" brute of Spain :
FERDINAND, son of CHARLES IV. and MARIA Louisa,
horn at St. Florence l'Escurial, on the 14th October,
1784, met ited from his infancy the hatred of the authors
days, who were shocked at the unnatural senti-
mentsofhis
of a son, without respect or consideration for those
who had brought him into the world, and who gave him
the title of Prince of ASTURIAS and hereditary successor
to the Throne of Spain. His stature is tall, his body
strong and nervous, his countenance brutal; his shoulders
are round, high, and immense ; his forehead and skull,
though gigantic, bear no proportion to his face, which ap-
pears to be always oppressed by the weight of mere mat-
ter—his large and long nose curved towards his chin, and
his large and long. chin turned up towards his nose, form-
ing a sort of piticers,. which at the first moment inspired
all who saw him with fear. This fear and horror in-
creases on beholding his immense mouth, which closes

loping are embedded in a sort of flabby and
globulous fat, which completes the traits of a man,
Who, to judge even from merely his face, is surcharged
with imbecility ! Such are the material forms of Fait-
inNAND; and as to the faculties of his mind, it is only
necessary to say, that he has a complete moral incapacity,
not having enough of talent to learn any thing that was
virtuous, nor to forget any thing that was criminal.
Signalized from his infancy by atrocities unknown to
children of his age, his preceptors, and even his parents
and relations, have avowed and published facts relating to
him of the blackest atrocity. Amongst other facts re-
corded of him, I will mention one committed in the

chamber of his mother. The QUEEN had a dog of ex-
treme beauty, and FERDINAND, whilst pretending to play
with him, caused him to swallow a little hall, in which
were small pins stuck in various directions, and then
covered over with paste. The unhappy dog swallowed the
fatal ball, when the Prince of AsTuarAs, holding in his
hand a piece of twine, to which he had attached the ball,
began to draw it upwards. The dog uttered piteous cries.
The QUEEN ran to his aid, and the young wretch, re-
doub'ing his efforts, caused a portion of the intestines of
the animal to attach to the pins, and drew it through his
throat.

JOHN BARRINGTON, Esq., of Castlewood;
Queen's County, eldest brother of Sir JONAH BARRING-
TON, succeeds to the title possessed by the late Sir FITZ-
WILLIAM BA RRINGTON, Bart.

It is much to be feared that there will be a
split among the Reformers of Middlesex. They have got
some idea that the Hobhouse party intend to support Lord
HENLEY against Mr. HumE, as a set-off for Mr. HUME'S
introduction to Bath of Mr. ROEBUCK against young
HOBTIOUSE there; and if that notio❑ get confirmed, it is
declared to be the intention of the Westminster folks to
start Mr. HumE for Westminster against Sir J. C. HOB
HOUSE ! Undoubtedly Sir JOHN'S rather extensive elec-
tioneering manoeuvres are likely to create some work to
enable him to keep his own seat.

M. CASIAIIR PERIER, son of the late Mi-
nister of that name, has arrived in town, charged with de-
spatches from the French Government. M. PERIER, and
M. de BACOURT, Secretary to the Embassy, preceded the
arrival of Prince TALLEY RAND, in Hanover-square, only
a few hours. M. PEELER, we understand, inherits a
large fortune from his father, who accumulated it as a
banker and retailer.

The monument to the memory of the late
General Sir DAVID BAIRD was last week completely
finished. The building, which is of Aberdeen granite, and
stands upon the hill of Tom-o-Chastel, about two miles to
the westward of Crieff, forms a moat commanding and
magnificent object in the landscape. It is a model of
Cleopatra's needle. The base of the pedestal is eighte n
feet on the side of the square, nine feet nine inches at the
top, and fourteen feet high. The height of the monument
from the foundation is eighty feet four inches ; the side of
the square of the top being five feet, and the apex about
fifty-four inches. There are four inscriptions on the mo-
nument, one on each side, situved a few feet above the
base, which is of a darker stone than the rest of the build-
ing. Each of these measures five feet and a half square.
The whole is to be surrounded with pavement six feet
broad, and enclosed with an iron railing.—Stirling Jour.
The eldest son of the late Mrs. CHAWORTII
MURSTERS lies daneerously hill at Colwiek Hall, his fa-
ther's seat, near Nottingham. Mr. MURSTERS, within
the last year, has been visited with more than an ordinary
share of affliction. In October last, his residence was
broken into by a Reform mob from Nottingham, who
destroyed almost every thing of value it contained. The
following March, his amiable lady, the " Mary "of Lord
BvaoN, who had never recovered from the long exposure
to cold to which she was subject in escaping from these
rioters, and the alarm consequent thereon, expired. In
May he last a very promising son, whilst on a foreign
service ; and now his eldest child is extended on the
bed of sickness, with but very remote hopes of his amend-
ment.

PAREIRA BRAVA.--The Medical Gazette
of Saturday contains an interesting account of a cure of
chronic inflamation of the bladder, by the exhibition of
this medicine, which lately has been almost excluded the
pharmacopoeias. The patient, a young man of 25, had
tried all the usual remedies without effect, before his ad-
mission to the General Dispensary, in Aldersgate-street.
The form in which Mr. BRODIE recommends the use of
this medicine, is to simmer half an ounce of the root in
three pints of water till the quantity is reduced to one
pint, and to give from eight to twelve ounces of the decoc-
tion per diem. Mr. CouLsox boils an ounce in a pint
and a half of water down to a pint, and adds copaivi and
mucilage. This was the form used on the present occa-
sion. The account of the removal of a large calculus, the
size of a peach stone, from the bladder of a child 12 year.
old, by the last-named gentleman, is also curious, and adds
much eo the claims which this valuable institution has
upon the patronage of all who are not indifferent to the
miseries of their poorer brethren.

BALLOON STATISTICS.—Few people are
aware of the expense of a balloon, or the tear and wear to
which it is incident. The material of the machine is com-
posed of double sarsenet, which even in a raw state costs
2741. But the silk must be varnished as well as sowed ; the
netting, which weighs about 3 cwt., is composed of the
finest Italian hemp ; and, altogether, the cost of an air-
ship, is above 5001. sterling. Out of 110 ascents, Mr.
GREEN has made 65 in his pre,ent yacht, which is oftener,
we suspect, than the best British bottom ever crossed the
Atlantic. During his aerial excursion, Mr. GREEN has
been accompanied by 80 persons, and has had repeatedly,
to u.e his own words, " two ladies up at a time." The
greatest altitude Mr. GREEN ever attained was three
miles 200 yards, as ascertained by a very excellent baro-
meter. His longest flight was 58 miles, performed in two
hours and three quarters. In 1 827 he rose from Preston,
in Lancashire, and descended at Preston, in Yorkshire ;
and the distance, 37 posting miles, was executed in 27
minutes, being nearly at the rate of 100 miles per hour.

CAUTION.--The solicitors to the General
Post-office have commenced prosecutions against upwards
of sixty individuals and firms in Manchester, during the
list week, for sending letters, containing orders, &C. into
the country, through the hands of carriers, and by this
means avoiding the payment of postage. —Liv. Cllr, n.
The new French Ministry have professed cer-
tain views, which might he beneficial to, or even popular in
France, but they appear to have to struggle against obsta-
cles which will render it all but impossible for them to
carry them into execution. The most formidable, as in-
deed the most prominent of their enemies is the Press; at
all times a redoutable, in France a most dangerous, and,
as respects the new Ministerial arrangements, an ap-
parently implacable enemy. The insinuations of our
Correspondent may incline us to doubt the tenacity of the
opposition of the Journalists for the present ; but they ap-
pear to he the most obvious rivals in public favour which
the Ministry have hitherto encountered. But there
would seem to be growing into importance anoth,r
element of uneasiness, upon which the Government
perhaps little calculated, but which may make itself
felt, and strongly too, before the crusade against the
feelings and prejudices of the people is run to a con-
clusion. This last is the National Guard—that body
which is said to stand between the Executive and the
people—the invoked guardians and depositaries of the
Charter, and the description of military force which must
incline the balance of party preponderance to that side
which it countenances, in the collision of any two factions
in the State. The National Guard are said to be almost
unanimously opposed to the late arrangements, and some
opportunities have occurred in which this distaste has been
evinced in practice. Count LOBAU and General JACQUE-
MINOT are severally in their different depirtments, at the
head of the National Guards of Paris, both Deputies, and
men respected for their integrity and public principle. It
is said that while the Ministerial arrangements were still
pending the latter was consulted as to the probable effect
of a Doctrinnaire Ministry, when he declared frankly and
strongly against it. His advice was not taken, and he felt
bound in honour to tender his resignation of the responsible
situation which he then filled. His offers were not imme-
diately accepted, but whilst the matter was yet under con-
sideration, the Colonels of no less than four regiments of
the national guard tendered their resignations, and there
is no knowing where the discontent would have ended, if
M. JACQUEMINOT had not been prevailed upon to resume
his duties. The Ministry may also expect to encounter,
when the Chamber meets, the hostility of several of M.
CASIMIR, PFatint's friends, who are displeased at not being
preferred to the Peerage, and already threaten to go over
to the cohl, gauche, and the now almost certain adhesion of
M. Duns/ and his party to the regular Opposition. The
Provincial Press too has testified to the feelings of the
people in the departments against them, almost as un-
equivocally as the Papers of the metropolis, and is to
be placed in the category of their opponents. The Mi-
nistry will be also embarrassed with charges of de-
parture from the spirit of the Charter, in appointing
M. IlLsualcE Duvar., one of the new Peers, to the prefec-
ture of the district of which Nantes is the capital, upon
the ground that the duties of a Prefect and Legislator are
inconsistent with each other. Under the restoration, it is
said, not a single Peer was appointed Prefect of a Depart-
ment ; and where a promotion of an actual Prefect to the
Peerage took place, it was a matter of course that the new
Aristocrat resigned his official employment. This was in

LITERATURE.

WILD SPORTS IN THE WEST.-II 11045'
RICHARD BENTLEY. LONDON, 1832.

A Sportsman, who is at the same titre
something better than a mere killer of saint°
and hunter of foxes, who has an eye for the
picturesque in lake, maritime, or mountaic
scenery, who is fond of adventures by " floe
and fell," and possesses sufficient fancy to he,
delighted with the fine traditional legends 01
the West of Ireland—such a man will derit'ef
abundant entertainment from the perusal C
these volumes. Two more lively, sketchy oe'
tavos, more replete with quaint anecdotes, racy
touches of character, and graphic power of de"
scription, it has of late rarely fallen to our lot to reel
with. The sportsman is certainly uppermost in all
that the author says or does ; but then he has, in
addition, a quick faculty of observation, a fact'
lity of painting characters and landscapes by °
few brief random touches, which at once place
the scene or the personage before us ; and, abcl
all, a fine, frank, cordial, and intelligent spirit'
which sympathizes with humanity in all form`'in all places, and under every possible variety
of circumstance. The author has the bale
art—that art allotted to so few—of making
himself at home every where, and placing his
reader on the same easy footing. Thus we I
have him one day " hail fellow, well met," With
a grim old smuggler, whose brandy—and We
suspect he is a judge of these matters—he Pre'
nounces excellent, and so wins the gruff dog s
heart ; the next, boozing with a party of Si.

and piling load upon load of jolly exaggeW

nemara Circe, whom he has taken in an Or

literature is singularly deficient in lively graph'
works of this sort. Few of our professed's°,
thors know more of sporting and its varie-
ties than just how to discriminate between °
bantam-cock and a partridge, or a tittle-bat anti
l
a salmon: it is delightful, therefore, to 'neef
!
with a work which possesses all the magic n
i'
novelty in such affluence as the one bef°ro
us. In his piscatory descriptions the autnf
evinces as much truth and feeling as even old
Isaac Walton himself. Where the latter make!

an extract taken at random from the volume' 1
" During my first season at the Dublin Universitit
was invited to pass a short vacation with a relative of tst
mother. He lived in the south of Ireland, in an anclo
family mansion-house, situated in the mountains, and $
considerable distance from the mail-coach road. 03

Milesian life, than that which the domicile of ray W°rb-sli

ruinous—and all, within and without, wild, racketty, ' 0
irregular. There was a troop of idle and slatternly serv4:ty
of both sexes, distracting every department of the t
re,
blishinent ; and a pack of useless dogs infesting the pei
mists, and crossing you at every turn. Between the biPoti,
and quadruped nuisances an eternal war was carried

and not an hour of the day elapsed, but a canine nutog
announced, that some of those unhappy curs were be

it was evident that some strange and fearful sensation'

To cross the stream was no way difficult, as the Irien
barely cover, d the horse's fetlock. The lady had " pie
through the water, when a thrilling cry of indescriWiop
agony from her attendant arrested her. Her servant "a ink
the opposite side endeavouring to rein in his nnwiolloJ
horse, and in his face there was a horrible and cony° 00
look that terrified his alarmed mistress. To her 0%.1*-
questions, he only replied by groans, which too trulieo
irayed his sufferings ; at last, he pointed to the 'tt

before him, and exclaimed, ' I cannot, dare not cross it!
Oh God! lam lost ! the dog—the dug!'
" What situation could be more frightful than that in
which the lady found herself ? In the centre of a desolate
and unpeopled moor, far from assistance, and left alone
with a person afflicted with decided madness. She might,
it is true, have abandoned him, for the terrors of the poor
wretch. would have prevented him from crossing the ri-
vulet ; but with extraordinary courage she returned,
seized the bridle fearlessly, and notwithstanding the out-
cries of the unhappy man, forced his horse through the
water, and never left his side, until she fortunately over-
took some tenants of her brother returning from a neigh-
bouring fair.
" I arrived on a visit the third evening after this occur-
rence, and the recollection of that poor old man's sufferings
has ever since haunted my memory. All that medical skill
and affectionate attention on his master's part could do to
assuage his pain, and mitigate the agonies he occasionally
underwent, was done. At length the moment that was
devoutly prayed for came. He died on the sixth morning.
From this horrible fate nothing but his own determi-
nation preserved my relative: and by the timely use of a
painful remedy, e.icision and cautery of the wound, he
escaped this dreadful disease.

" I have related the calamity of another—but I, too,
have been a sufferer; although, thank God ! not in person.
" A setter of uncommon beauty was presented to me, by
a gentleman, under peculiar circumstances. He had been
the favourite companion of his deceased wife, and during
her long and hopeless illness had seldom left her chamber.
He begged me to allow him a place in the Lodge, and not
subject him to the restraint of the kennel. His wishes
were obeyed, and Carlo was duly installed into all the rights
and privileges of a carpet dog.
" I left home on a shooting visit, and luckily brought a
brace of my best setters with me. A week after my depar-
ture an express reached me to say that Carlo was ' very
odd, would not eat, and bit and worried every dog he met
with.' I took alarm instantly, and returned home without
delay. I found the household in desperate alarm. Carlo
was confined in a separate out-house, but not until he had
worried and torn every dog in my possession !
" I went to reconnoitre him through an irou-stanchioned
window ; he was in the last and frightfullest stage of con-
firmed hydrophobia. I sent for a rifle and terminated the
animal's life.
" I was at first afraid to enquire into the extent of my
calamity. I mustered courage to enter the kennel, and
personally investigated the state of my dogs. Every one of
them, ten in number, had been bitten, and several of them
were fearfully mutilated by the rabid animal I bad de-
spatched. Even the terriers had not escaped, and they,
poor animals ! were necessarily included in the general
order for execution, that I issued to the keeper. That noble
house•dog, who has been the subject of your admiration,
was fortunately preserved by having been sent for by a gen-
tleman who resided in the next county.
" A most extraordinary insensibility to danger was
evinced by the female members of my household. Un-
luckily Antony was absent in the mountains setting a broken
bone ; the keeper had accompanied me ; every one ac-
quainted with the habits and management of dogs was from
home; and the kennel was entrusted to the kitchen boy.
On this occasion the disease appears to have come on gra-
dually, and for days the setter betrayed the customary
Signs of incipient madness. Had he been tied up even when
the malady was fully established, no mischief might have
resulted. But until his violence became frightful, he was
actually permitted to run about the house, and got access
to the kennel, while the boy was carrying food to his charge.
" The escape of the servants was miraculous. The day
only before my arrival, the dog, in a paroxysm of suffering,
had thrown himself across the fire-place. Come away
from that, Biddy,' said the old cook, with perfect noncha_
lance, to her attendant Don't ye see the doy is mad?'
and continued some culinary operation, in which, at a dis-
tant corner of the kitchen, she was engaged. The boy's
preservation was unaccountable. The poor lad made many
unavailing efforts to part the dogs when fighting in the
kennel, and prevent the setters from being bitten. In this
perilous attempt his clothes were literally torn to ribbons,
but fortunately for himself there was not a scratch visible
on his skin."
