defend myself against their accusations ; but they will have to
defend themselves iteaftist the reproaches of individual con-
science, as' well as the impartial- condemnation of the age
which nowis, and of that which is /actinic. To have been
tine of the i'eyrs who, after accusing and condemning, affect-

Mr. Alderman AVOod, Mr. P. Moore,, and Mr.
Whitbread, remained with her Alajestya.,consi-
derable time after the 7 other- Gentlemen
,of the
several. Deputations had withdrawn, and it was
near four o'clock before the crowd whiCh occu-
pied the-grounds in the fr../ot of Brandenburgh
House had retired. The spectacle in the narrow
road leading from Hammerunith to her Majesty's
residence was as interesting and diversified as'that

great distinction which they denoted between the

:that any,' serious accident occurred- during the

not lose so excellent-an- opportunity of practising

Professor -13Anr:ovt-, of the Royal Military Aca

last, the sth instant, for. the purpose of inquiring
into the' state of the , compasses in -store in the
Dock-yard at this port, and to determine the dip
of the magnetiO needle.—On Tuesday, the Bth

with a beautiful dipping needle, by Jones, and

brought to by a brig which chased under English
colours, then hoisted Spanish, and after Wards
the Patriot flag. .They inforined that, the

On Wednesday last; as a person of'ihe name
of Davidson, an innkeeper at Blackford, near
Carlisle, was loading a cart of hay, at that plrce,
he fell from the cart; and was killed on the spot.

As thelitte Duke de BLiaiti was one day driving
in an open carriage, with ,very few attendants,.
in .the environs of. Paris,he perceived a man
struggling violently to •break- away from' Some I
others ,who held him. The frantic gestures of
the .man, , and the agitation which he evinced,.
excited the Duke's, curiosity ; he left his carriage;
and desiring ,his attendants not to follow hiM, ay
proached the group ;- as he did SO, he heard the
man say-to those. who held him, 44. it is of no
use to try to prevynt me, I will drown my self:"-L--
" Drown yourself," repeated the Duke, "unfor-
ttinate, wicked man,
,whot , can induce you to
think -.of taking away your life "My dis=
tres.s."--," No: distress can authorize you to put
an end to your being. Have you no family, 'no
friends 1"--7" Alas ! yes,, I have a wife and chit-
dreni"-- _And you have, no regard for them !"
Regard for,thent 1." repeated the man fierce-
ly; " it is because I do regard them,that I am
determined to 'die, for I cannot 'bear to live, and
see them--perish by famine."7--', ,But; you are
young and, strong, , why not work to support
them ?"-L--" Because I can get no work; I have
tried for it a long-time in vain.; besideS I owe
five-and twenty crowns; my creditors pursue me
: order to lodge me in gaol, where 1 must see
my wife and children perish with hunger."
That terrible idea seemed to give him new
strength; he burst from the grasp of his compa-.
pions, protesting that he would fell to the earth the
first who approached him. At that moment ayoung
woman, followed by two infant children, ran at
full speed towards the group ; at sight of her
the man shuddered, and remained motionless.
" Heaven be praised," cried she, " I am come
in time to prevent your cruel purpose. Alt, An-
toine! how could you think of leaving me and
the 'children ? No ; if it be nod's that we
must perish, let us wait our time patiently, and
atleast together." At these words the firm-
nessof the unhappy husband relaxed ; he burst
into -tears. . The•eyes of the Duke were not dry.
" No my friends," cried he, " Healer,' will nut
permit you to perish ;" and-he put his purse into
the wornan's hand. 44 Pay the twenty-five
crowns out,of this ; the remainder will clothe
your family.".
" Oh ! Sir," cried they. both together, " yolk
do not know ,what you are giving us; this purse
contains a fortune." "It is a very small for-
tune-then," said the Duke, turning to go away.
" May Heaven bless'you ! it will be the, making
of us. Ah ! if you would add one more favour."
" What is it ? " " If you would tell us your
name." 44 I am a Frenchman : 4fiot signifies
my name i" 4' Yes, it would signify to us and
to our Children, whom we shall teach to pray for
our benefactor." " Well then, since you will
know it, it is Charles ;" and the Duke hastened
to his carriage ; but before he could reach it, his
livery was recognized, and his secret consequently
betrayed. We may easily conceive the gratitude
and enthusiasm with which the poor man and
his _1 companions shouted " Vive le Dec de
Berri! " and never, perhaps, were those sounds
more delightful to his generous heart. His
bounty was well bestowed ; the object of it was
honest and industrious ; it was want and despair
alone that drove 'him to the. rash resolution which
he had adopted. Ile used the Duke's money
carefully and frugally, and was soon in a fair
way to tb well. It is a fact, honourable to ha-
man nature, that this poor man's excessive sor-
row when he learned the dreadful fate of his
benefactor, nearly unsettled his.reason.

TifEffllAß V EST.

The harvest has been partially commenced in;
the vicinity of 'this city, and on Monday next
will be very generally begun. Rye, Oats, Bar-
ley, and at this moment are cutting within
the range of our sight. The crops upon the
light lands are particularly abundant, and of Bar-
ley especially, some of which exceeds in bulk
any former year, the straw running very nearly
six feet high. On the northern and eastern sides
of the county, and the heavier soils of the other
parts, it will be another ten days or a fortnight
before•harvest can be general. The sportsmen
will thus be deprived of their early sport, which
will be curtailed by the destruction of eggs from
the lateness of the season and the rains. Though
a large quantity of birds were left last year, the
increase will be by uo means proportionate. We
are told that the grass-cutters scarcely mowed a
single field without spoiling one or more nests,
and that the barren pairs are of course verknu-
merous.—(Norwich Mercury)
Thee' heat harvest is now generally commencing
in this neighbourhood ; •in many places the
.pre-
caution of hackling is adopted ; the crop never
presented a finer appearance,: though in some
few places mildew is observed. We are glad to
learn that the potatoe crop promiSes great abun-
dance.--Beans will be generally unproduetive.--L

HOP INTELLIGENCE.-'-A t, the annual Hop
Meeting, held at Castle Hedingham, Essex,. on
Saturday last (the sth lust:); but little business
was done. From the melancholy appearance of
the flop-plantations,in consequence of the dread-
ful hail on the preceding Sunday, it is pre-
sumed the planters were .fearful of selling their
hops upon the growth of the present year
it is supposed the, crops upon some of the plan-
tations are entirely destroyed, being most
completely stripped.of their leaves mid branches.
.The Chairman of the meeting was offered 5/.1,55.
per-cwt. for half a -ton of his growth, which he
did not accept ; 51. 12s. was .offered for any to
match the Chairman's growth, but not accepted
by any planter ; one half ton was sold at 51. ss.
in pockets. Some samples of last year's growth
were produced for sale, amongst others, 32 bags,
the growth of W. P.. Lamb, Esq. of Rye, and
for which 3L 4s. was refused. Most of the bets
upon the duty for the present year, were froth
.eighty-five7to ninetythousand (old duty). Some
barley upon the growth was offered for sale at
30s. per quarter, to weigh 511bs. the finshet, and
to be delivered during the malting season) but
not sold.—(Kentish Gazette.)
