Earl Gower is now erecting a beautiful man

masons and others are employed. The structure
is gothic ; the design chaste, and highly suit-
able to the situation. Fronting the north a lofty
tower will be erected, on the top of which there
will be a group of sixteen chimnies. On the
south a noble terrace will be formed, from which
the prOSpect is almost boundless. Remotely,
on the left, are the Wrekin and the valley and
villages towards Shrewsbury, with all the 'busy
scenes of industry which: peculiarly animate that
district. On the right the scenery of Stafford-
shire towards Eccleshall and Stone, is spread
out. Immediately belOW are the ancient church

the town of Newport, and many elegant villas
and mansions which ornament that part of

HASTINGS, SEPT. 23.

A heavy gale from the S.W. has blown through-
Out last night and the entire of this day. The
beach, as far .as the eye' can reach, offers to the
view a. sheet of foam of a most dazzling white-
ness. The.line of the horizon presents a similar,
appearance, and the storm threatens to continue,
which consequently, prevents our enjoying one of
the most. tempting recreations that a watering
place can offer—a trip to sea. •

Of this source of health and amusement I
ought, perhaps, to have earlier spoken, as the fa-
cilities, and the means fOr enjoying it, ''afforded
at 'Hastings, cannot be surpassed. There are
here to be found three or, four uncommonly fine
sailing pleasure boats=-the best of them, arid,
perhaps, one of the best, though one of the
smallest on the .coast of Sussex, is the British
Fair. Long residence in London, and close
application' to business, are said to enervate--yet,
in this cockle-shell did Mr. Planta; M.P. (a
gentleman -whose hours of. relaxation have not.
for several years .been many) proceed from his
beautiful seat, Fanlight, on Wednesday last, to
Boulogne, in the face of the Equinox. So much
for the imputed timidity of studious or official
persons. The trip was one which many experi-
enced seamen deemed a:little hazardOus.

If deprived of amusement on the ocean, how-
ever, there is a tolerable stock provided fOr us
On shore. In addition to the theatre, the nightly
concerts at the Pelham Arcade, and the grand
collection of waxworks which I lately mentioned,
we have Signor Cucchiani, with his Legerde-
main and Chinese figures, and the ever-pleasing
and all astonishing wooden Roscius, Mr. Punch.
Miss Love made her first appearance this sea-
son, at this theatre,' on Friday night last, and
acquitted herself very creditaily in Rosalind.
She essayed, perhays, to give a little too much
point to the' " Cuckoo Song," but was throug-
out londly. applauded. Between the play and the
afterpiece, Miss Love, dressed as a Bavarian
Girl, with most characteristic long waist and
short_ petticoats, high hips and. 10V stomacher,
sang, " Buy a Broom." I had frequently. had
the pleasure of hearing the same •young lady
sing this song at Vauxhall, but. until last Friday
night, had no idea of the variety of style of
which it was susceptible, and in which the song-
stress could deliver it. There it was a tolerably
modest, quiet, concert melody7--here it was ren-
dered a charmingly arch and sportive vehicle for
captivating the Marine Gods of Hastings, of
which the Syren most successfully availed her-
self'. Never can I forget her solicitation of Cap-
tain Turbot, in the Pit, and Jack Gunwale, in
the Gallery to " Buy a Broom." The effort
drew down thunders of applause from every
fiSherman in the house, and in which, notwith-
standing the playful individuality of the appeal,
it is only fair to say, their ladies also liberally
joined. Need I add, it was encored.

FINE LINEN.—In the last number of the
Edinburgh Philosophical Journal, the Rev.
Dr. Scott, has shown that -the stufrdenOminated
fine linen in the Scriptures, was in all probabi-
lity cotton cloth. .Had this species of manu-
facture been known in England when our trans-
lation of
.the Bible was made, the word cotton
would most probably have been employed ; for
the Words fine linen are a periphrases which
conveys an erroneous idea, the Hebrew terms
translated linen and fine linen in the Bible, being
as different from one another as the words linen
and silk, or cotton and wool in English.—

PRICE ID.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, SEPT. 24.

JOINT STOCK MANIA.

edward Whitfield, who described himself as
" Secretary to the Society for the Ithprovement of
Ireland,' came up on his petition to be discharged;
and underwent a long examination by Mr. Pollock,
on the part of Major Nicholls, an opposing creditor.
The examination threw some light on the manner in
which public societies are sometimes formed. The
petitioner stated that having lately returned from
India, he was asked by a person named Beare, to
attend7at a public meeting, where about fifteen per-
sons attended; and it was resolved to contract for
certain:estates in Ireland, and to establish a society
under the name of the. Society. for the Improvement
Of Ireland. Mr. Beare, whO was a general agent,
called the meeting, and promised the petitioner 500/.
a year as a salary for acting as Secretary. Mr.
O'Brioni 'of Hardwick-street, Dublin ; Colonel
Stewart, Mr. Witham, surgeon, Red Lion-square,
and other gentlemen, heard what passed between
the petitioner and Mr. Beare. There were no
.sub-
scriptions paid in consequenee of this meeting, and
petitioner never received a shilling for his services.
After holding tie office some time, however, he
represented to a Mr. Greaves that his situation was
permanent and respectable, with a salary of 500/.
per annum ; and Major Nicholl, the uncle of Mr.
Greaves, advanced 600/. to the petitioner, for the
secretaryship, which sum was divided the day after
it was received, between the petitioner and Beare.
Mr..PoLLocK contended that the whole case fur-
nished a specimen of impudent swindling on the
part of the petitioner, which should induce the
Court to reject his petition. •
Mr. HEATH, on behalf of the insolvent, argued
that the transaction between the petitioner and
Major Nicholl, occurred at the period of the mania,_
and that the conduct of the petitioner was perfectly
honest.

The COMMISSIONER was of opinion that the evi-
dence was not sufficient to support the charge made
against the insolvent, of obtaining money on false
pretences.
