Manyof our readers may not be 'aware- of the custom
almost universally prevalent in country pieces among the keepers
of bees,—that of saving 'them with biscuit and wine on the day
of the funeral of any member of the family to which they belong.
This practice seem to be one of the more harmless of those super-
stitions of our ancestors, which yet linger in the more secluded
parts of the island-..although Mit, we presume, specially reconi•
mended by any
writer on bees, from Virgil to Huber, yet so firm
is the conviction, that the neglect of this ceremony would cause
the failure, of the apiary, that it is very seldom omitted; A. few,
days ago an instance came to our knowledge respectable fir-

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1626.

His MAJESTY will hold a Council this day at
Windsor, which will be attended by all the Cabinet
Ministers within reach. The CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER and Mr. PEEL, left town this morning
for Windsor, and Mr. CANNING will proceed thither
also this forenoon, from Salthill, where he slept last
night. , It is confidently stated, that his MAJESTY'S
Ministers have determined to call Parliament together
for the despatch of public business, and the 14th
November is the day mentioned for the opening of the
Session.

It is likewise rumoured, that at the Council this
day, the importation of Foreign Oats, Beans, and
Peas, will be allowed ; and that the Order for this re-
laxation of the Corn Regulations, will appear in to-
night's or Tuesday's Gazette.

We received last night the French Papers of
Tues-
day, and the Etoile of Wednesday morning. We find
in them much interesting matter, and therefore give
long extracts in another column.
The, accounts from Greece are of etich a conflicting
character that it is impossible to trace the truth in the
mass of communications from that quarter. The letter
which IBRAHIM, by the Grace of God, Commander
of Candle and the Morea, Admiral of the Egyptian
Fleet, addressed to the son of PETRO BEY, the Prin-

cipal Chief of the Mainotes, would lead us to suspect
that the son of the PACHA of EGYPT has anticipated
his father's intentions of assuming his independence of
the Porte. The events at Constantinople have afforded
a most favourable opportunity for the accomplishment
of this object, and we have little doubt that the enter-
prising Egyptian Chief will avail himself of it; more
particularly, too, as it,appears that Lord COCHRANE has
proceeded at once to Alexandria for the purpose, as it
may be fairly concluded after the language of his
address, to detach Egypt from its allegiance to the
Porte. We predict that events of great importance are
likely to take place in that part of the world. The

immediate object of Initit!Ws letter was to induce
M A VRONIECHAL, with all his Primates, to join him
instantly, threatening an invasion of their country in
the event of a refusal ; but this threat seems to have
had no effect on the Mainotes, as they are said to have
defeated the Pacha at Armino and at Nissi. It is
also stated that the Seraskier had sustained a defeat in
Livadia.

The .Journal des Debats published from a Minis-
terial paper, a most extraordinary article, professing to
give the disCussions which took place'at the Grand
Council held in Madrid on the question of the steps
to be taken against Portugal, .in consequence of the
establishment of the Constitutional Charter. The Mi-
iiisteiiOf PERI) / ND, one acid all, paint in hideous,
but, we have no doubt, faithful colours, the, wretched
state of Spain in its finance and ,credit--its Army, its
Navy, Courts of Justice, and national feeling ; ond
the result of this melancholy recital seems to have been'
to induce the Council to postpone; at all events, their
previous intention of declaring war against Portugal.
The condition of 'Spain is the most frightful proOf
ever exhibited of the effects of had Government ; and
it. is only to, be wondered at that the very forms and
functions of Government can be carried on at all, when
the destruction of 'its revenue and credit has been so.

We received this morning the Allgemeint Zeitung

nor interesting :

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 26.
M. Boyer, belonging to the French Legation, who ols
sent some time ago with dispalif ties to Rear.Adiniral

ac it, the Greeks had resolved to defend themselves to

Country, now and then manifests itsel
culous, but very forcible manner. An instowe
""
sort occurs iD paragraph in the Fide of
W
slid r
day, which though written with some wit

-tendea joke, shows the bitter hatred which the IVlink-
ters (of whom that Journal is the organ), entertain
for the liberal and enlightened policy which guides thc
Councils of Great Britain. The paragraph we refer
to is as follows :

We read in many accounts of travels that a vessel is
sometimes surrounded by whales, and that in order to get
rid of this trouble Some. convoy they throw empty casks to
the whales, which divert them. While the sea-monsters
amuse themselves throwing about in the air these odd spe-
cies of play-things, looking at thein falling, and throwing
them up again, the vessel makes way as fast as possible to-
wards its destination. The English, who are skilful sailors,
and equally able politicians, employ the same stratagem in
other cases besides, when they are on the main seas ; and
to attktin their objects they take care now and then to throw
empty casks, which they call Charters, to amuse the foolish
animals called the people. While these are playing. at
constitutions, England, which has set the game a-going,
carries off the stakes, and laughs at the dupes whom she has
deceived.

The writer of this article ought to remember that
it is by the possession of a Charter that this country
has been able to maintain its superiority over France
and all the nations of the world, and to steer in
safety through the stormy seas which have over-
whelmed other countries. To her alone is owing the
Charterof France, of which such a boast is occasionally
made ; and enjoying herself the blessings of a Charter,
England will magnanimously endeavour to extend the
advantages of such a bulwark of Civil Rights to all
nations, who seek her support in the hour of danger
not for her own advantage, as the French writer basely
insinuates, but from a knowledge that the possession
of Liberal Institutions, if well defined by a Charter,
is conducive to the happiness of all, from the Monarch
to the peasant, in every country ; and to the peace and
security of the great family of nations.

Nothing is more easy for a writer than to deal in
, generalities. A man who has never visited a country,
. may yet venture, from hearsay, to strike off an appa-
randy fair description—dwelling in general terms upon
mountains, rivers, climate, and such like ; but he keeps
as far aloof from particularities as he would from a
grape-shot, well knowing that if he descends from his
dreaming clouds he may catch a Tartar among the
curious inhabitants. Yet how many are deceived by
• the specious account of such scribes ? for people
cannot know the truth of every thing they hear,
and , are at the very mercy of the historian, or,
more correctly, the novelist, in matters foreign to them-
selves, though relatively interesting, as affecting the
. condition of human life to the numerous casualties
of which they are all more or less subject. Now, some
writers take a peculiar delight in conning the pages
of chronology, for the learned purpose of lugging in
some antediluvian events to work up a sounding cli-
max for present purposes, and among this pompous
order we may include some of our bombastic
friends the French, who are never so pathetically
eloquent, as upon the overwhelming misery, whe-
ther real or conceived, of their neighbours. The
Most pleasing sound to a Parisian ear, is the
inferiority of other nations, after listening to the echo
of his own Born. Votting tickles. a. Frenchman's fancy
so much, as theidea of his neighbour going down the
well-of-popularity in one bucket, while he is mounting
to acclamations in the other. But once reverse the
picture, and behold what a falling off was there—
My countrymen !
Then you, and I, and all of ua fell down,
Whilst bloody treason triumph'd over us.
Nothing but treason, or something worse, could
overcome the GRAND NATION ; and when dis-
tress steps in as a consequence, they contrive to blunt
Its force by consoling themselves with the belief that
their neighbours are incomparably worse off. It is
true that we have had some distress during the last
year, and that some districts are now suffering under
severe privations, but see how the matter is pourtrayed
by the Editor of the Journal du Commerce. If he
had mounted the Pegasus of Munchaugen, anti as-
cended the highest Alps, he could not have magnified
the indistinct objects below, more than he has exag-
Prated our distress, through the clouds of his igno-
rance or malice. He says, that our prosperity last year
Was without parallel, to contrast the better with our
pwr_e_isent un-heard of reverses. But, take his own
labouring like Ajax, when striving—
Some rock's vast weight to throw
for the language seems to break down under the dis-
asters which he has conjured up.
(From the Journal du Commerce.)
" History presents no example of a commercial crisis, exactly
similar to that which continues to afflict Great Britain. The
disasters which followed the South Sea scheme in England, the
?isinsaippi plan, Law's system, and the catastrophe of the As-
signats in Ftance, had a relation to general fact which were at
least well known and defined* Nearly a year has passed since

One would suppose, after reading this concatena-
tion of horrors, that there was no hope—that we were
already swallowed up in the gulph of perdition, ac-
cording to this veracious journalist, who should have
looked a little nearer home before hi trusted his ima-
gination so licentiously abroad into the regions of im-
probability. But a Frenchman always lives in fairy-
land—while his poor neighbours drudge in the toils of

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Txts DAY.)

Hie Loans:sir sat at eleven o'clock, and disposed of sons* mat.

on Tuesday. He will also sit on Wednesday and Thursday ; and
will not he in a hurry to leave town.
Mr. Sestwx asked for leave to make a motion to stay waste, on
Wednesday next.
His Lammas. said there was no necessity for asking leave to
make such a motion. He had often heard such motions at inns
on the road to his country house, at his country house, and at inns
on returning from it ; and he felt perfectly persuaded that it was
the duty of the Chancellor, and all the other Judges belonging to
the Court, provided they could he got at, to hear such motions at
any time whatever.
MARTI EDWARDS, IN Till NATTKE OF HOLMES A BANKRUPT.

Mr. MowrAnuE made some observations on additional affida-
vits filed in this matter, in which the application was, for an order
to supersede a country Commission, and that a prosedendo, should
issue on the original London Commission.
Mr. DUCKWORTH appeared on the other side.
His Loa nsitlY in giving judgment observed, that he felt perfectly
satisfied nothing wrong towards the Court had been meant by the
gentleman who took the former commissions. Mr. Moss, a So-
licitor in Derby, was the gentleman who took out a London com-
mission ; he afterwards found it necessary to apply for a super-
sedeas of that commission, and that one might issue directed to
country commissioners, which be did ex-parte ; the latter had
been directed to commissioners of unsullied character, and of Mr.
Moss's integrity and propriety, his Lordship had the most perfect
conviction ; hut under all circumstances, and regard being had to
the dealings of the bankrupt, the Court thought the Commission
in this matter ought to be worked in London. His Lordship,
therefore, superseded the Country Commissiont'ordered a pr -
sedendo on the former London Commission, and as a proof of his
opinion of Mr. Moss, directed that that Gentleman should have
the carriage of the London Commission.
