tionate degree, the comforts of his countrymen.
His is undoubtedly a dry—a toilsome—and an
unpopular office,. but in no other office under
the Crown, is there such a. rich field for acquiring
individual glory and promoting national comfort
and prosperity. He has but to look to it firmly,
and the work will not proVe so insurmountable
as it appears. To take an example from
an opposite side of the question, he will find
abundant satisfaction in contemplating the suc-
cess of Mr. ii um E—that scarecrow to the rooks
of profligate expenditure and sinecure . places.
But we have not time nor space to dilate
,
upon this subject to-day—the meeting of Par-
liament approaches, and we trust that before that
period Mr. G 0111.13 URN will find leisure to take
a comprehensive view of our system of taxation,
and more than all, of the unequal manner in

which it works for the benefit of a few to the
general detriment of society.

A Morning Paper says that his MAJESTY'S
health is in a very precarious state. If true, the
public should know : if false, the rumour should
be contradicted from authority.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 4th inst.con-
tains the following article from Constantinople,
which like ,some others from that quarter, is
highly favourable to the enthusiastic feeling of
the Turks :

COXSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 11

Never was the Porte called upon to display greater energy-
than in the present umment, when a powerful enemy in
vades the frontiers of the Empire, and seems to threaten
its existence; when civilized Europe makes the cause of the
Greek insurrection its own, and a French squadron cornea
to bring freedom to the Morea. But in no former cam-
paign have the efforts of the Mussnlmen been more re-
warded and the Russian armies so checked in their under-
takings as in the present. At all points where the Turks have
chosen to make a serious defence the Ttussians have been re-
pulsed, and the Russian army, which a little while ago was
so much dreaded, is forced to confine itself to the defensive.
The capital is intoxicated with joy by the bulletins now
regularly received from the army, (which probably contain
many exaggerations,) and which are distributed in all quar-
ters of the city, and read publicly in the market-places, that
the state of affairs may be known even to the meanest, who
give vent to their satisfaction by firing their muskets, and
think that they, by this, have a share in the glory of their
nation. The last bulletins sent by Hussein Pacha, and which
come to 2d Sept., are calculated to raise the enthusiasm of
the people to the highest pitch, and to confirm the Sultan
in the system he has adopted ". The Grand Vizier, who
has his head quarters in Adrianople, is said to intend to
make a diversion towards Varna, where the Russians have
assembled their chief force, and seem resolved to make
themselves masters of that place at whatever sacrifice. The
Capitan Pacha, who defends Varna, seems to be a great se-
curity to the Porte for the defence of the place; even in ease
the superiority of the enemy by land and sea should triumph,
it would find the fortifications in such a state that the pos-
session of the place would probably afford them but little
advantage. It is said to be the intention of the Sultan to
send a small squadron to the relief of Varna, at least he has
visited the men of war now lying in the Bosphorus, and
has expressed his satisfaction with the order in which,
he found them. It is natural under such circum-
stances that the Porte is more deaf than ever to all
proposals of peace, and that far from shewing any
disposition to concession it pays no regard to the con-
tinued endeavours of the Austrian Internuncio, to induce it.
to accede to the Treaty of London. On the cointrary the
Porte is said to be resolved to defend to the utmost its
lancient rights in Greece. The fortifying of Remis Tchik-
tlik is prosecuted with great activity, and the Sultan will
shortly fix his head quarters there. 40,099 men, partly
irregular troops, partly Asiatics, are to be assembled there,
and form the reserve under the Sultaa's own command.
VIENNA, SEPT. 29. —Metall., 945; Bank Shares, 1,084.
* These are the Bulletins already extracted from the
Austrian Observer in our yesterday's number.

Letters have been received this morning by
the Ibis,' HARPER, arrived at Plymouth from
Oporto, of the 30th ult. The only intelligence
they announce is the arrest of the Brazilian
Consul, who had been placed in the same prison
where Mr. NOBLE, kin. was confined, and oc-
cupied with him the same apartment.

The news furnished by the: French and Dutch
Papers does not convey any thing fresh from
the theatre of war.

We direct attention to the speech of Lord
GROSVENOE, at the Cheshire Whig Club. It
affords ample food for contemplation ;—but we
have not room to-day for any remarks.

SHERIFF SHAW'S DINNER.—On Tuesday
PowsoNeY SHAW, Esq. Senior High Sheriff of the City
of Dublin, gave his first grand dinner at Morrison's.—
Cards had been issued for 400 persons—above 220 were
present, After the usual Mains, the Chairman gave—
" The House of BizaasFonn."—Tune, Croppies lie down.
Alderman BERESFORD rose and said—Every da3. that passes
over our heads shows us the absolute necessityof arming onr-
selves against the encroachments of our enemies. If the Lord..
Lieutenant will stoop to be marshalled by the Catholic Asso-
citaion, he is unworthy to fill the office to which he has
been appointed by his Sovanatox. The last step he has
taken should have been his first step. Sir, be should have
caught the Queen Bee. Those impious reprobates, the
leaders of the Association, well know that the persons
they maligned as the enemies of the country were those
that first submitted to the Government—they have exposed
the poor peasants to the bayonets of the KING'S troops.—
The party separated at a late hour.—Dublin Freeman's
Journal. •

A beau of the first water, while travelling
from Worcester to Birmingham, the other day, asked a
fellow-traveller whether Birmingham was a sea pert? It
was replied, " Yes, of the See of Lichfield and Coventry."
The querist appeared quite satisfied.— Worcester Journal.
Persons who have once become hypochon-
driacal from the effects ,of mal'aria at Rome, experience
the greatest aversion for most kinds of perfume. A nose-
gay of roses or jasmines introduced into a room of persons
so affected would throw half the party into fits, and put
the remainder to flight ; while the smell of very rank
plants would he perfectly agreeable.—From the extreme
fondness of the ancient Romans for delicate perfumes and
flowers, we may infer with certainty that the Eternal City
was not, in former times, afflicted with mal' aria —.Lon-
don Weekly Review.

DEPARTED DAYS, OR BANWELL-HILL.—.
This Poem, it is understood, was written entirely from
the suggestion, and according to the expressed wish to Mr.
BowLim, of the Bishop of BATH and WELL& His Lord-
ship has built a picturesque cottage, near the cavern of
antediluvian bones, commanding the fine views which
form the subject of this Poem. Mr. BOWLER, with se-
veral other literary friends, was at the cottage, when
the Bishop, we have heard, with his usual amenity of
manner, said to Mr. Bowtxs, There are Uphill Sands,
where your father lived—yonder are the hills on to Brie.
tol—there is the spot where Mr. ELTON'S children were
swept away !—there is . Wrington, where the author. of
" Old Robin Gray" lived,—and near, Mrs. Moaa- had
her residence." • Upoa this .hint, the of Banwell-
