MAJOR CARMRIGHT.

The following is a curious extract from the will of
this eccentric Gentleman The will of the venerable
Major Cartwright passed under the seal of the Prero-
gative Court of Canterbury, the personal effects sworn
to be under 8001. The following remarkable clause op-
pears therein To my country, anxiously desiring
her welfare, I leave a fervent wish for such neces-
sary, deep, and salutary reforms in her Institutions,
as would not only restore her lost freedom, but purify
from the odiousness and debasement of unfaithfulness
and corruption, all her public departments. By a
complete restoration of her genuine polity (which I
have endeavoured to place before her eyes), she might,
in my humble judgment, so correct the morals and the
habits of her people, as to establish on a solid and en-
during basis, her future liberty, prosperity, and renown.
—.To this end she must cease to follow the example of
compering States, which, from small• beginnings, be-
come what may be considered as vast pyramids ab-
surdly resting on their points, with their broad founda•
lions in the air; from the unnaturalness of which posi-
tion they necessarily till in ruins, misery, and contempt.
When England shall restore the simplaity of her origi-
nal polity, she will have a basis sufficient for stability,
felicity, and glory; and then, instead•of insanely making
her state to resemble an inverted pyramid, she, by merely
colonising on her own natural, sound, constitutional
principles, may spread to a wide extent confederate na-
tions, sincere friends to her welfare,, firm supports of
her greatness ; and, in place of jeal ops rivals or secret and
insidious enemies of her repose, She would raise up
around her willing ministers of her aggrandisement.'"

A source of danger from the use of culinary vessels
,of copper has recently been discovered by Sir H. DAVY,
ivit. that weak solutions of common salt, such as are
daily made by adding a little salt to boiling vegetables
and other eatables in our kitchens, act strongly upon
copper, although strong ones do not affect it.

In the reign of Queen- Elizabeth, at the Assize of
Oxford, July 1.577, one Rowland Jenks, a popish book-
seller, for dispersing scandalous pamphlets, defamatory
to the Queen and State, was arraigned and condemned,
but on the sudden there arose such a damp that almost
all present were in danger of being smothered. The
Jurors died that instant; soon after died Sir Robert
Bell, Lord Chief Baron; Sir Robert de Oly, Sir Wm.
Babington ; Mr. de Oly, High Sheriff; Mr. Wearman,
Mr. Danvers, Mr. Fettiplace, Mr. Harcourt, Justices;
Mr. Kerle, Mr. Nash, Mr. Greenwood, Mr. Fester, Gen-
tlemen of good account ; Serjeant Barham, an excellent
pleader ; three hundred presently sickened and died
within the town ; and two hundred more sickening,
died in other places; amongst all of whom there was
neither woman nor child.

SUISTT lodged at the Black Jack, in Clare Markets for
many years, where he nightly entertained a set of re,

Mr. J. BANNISTER in vain endeavoured to reclaim him
and.wbenever he was too late for rehearsal, JOHN left the
theatre in search of him. One morning, SUITT not being

rage and made an appeal to the company, but an ap-

Two more convictions for hull-baiting have recently
taken place hear Wolverhampton, under the Act to
prevent cruel dnd improper treatment of cattle :" the
first'was in the case of W. Walker, pf Wed nesbu ry, ear-
ter, who was ccnvicted in the full penalty of five pounds,
for the baiting a bull at Wednesbury wake, and in de-
' fault of payment he was committed to our county jail_
for one month t the other was in the case oil'. Turner,
of the same place, labourer who was convicted in
the mitigated penalty of ten shillings and costs for being
coneeroed in the same offence.

, The 17th ult. a winged insect, about the length and.
thickness of a man's finger, and agreeing with the de-
scription given of the locust, was caught alive in a field
of wheat at Low Waskerly, near Shotley Bridge, and is
sow in the possession of Messrs. Forster there.
Saturday, the first stone of a handsome new •bridge
over the river Owveg, on the sew line of road between'
Castle Island and Abbeyfeale, was laid by Lord Hgatp.
LIT, assisted by Mr. GRIVPITH, the Government Ea,
ginger. The bridge is to be called Headley Bridge, the.
large one. over the river Feale having been named Wel-
lesley Bridge, in honour of- the patriotic and highly

One of the greattst improvements in the vicinity of
the Strand would be the forining of Wych and Holy.
well streets into one, by the removal of the centre divi-•
sion line of houses: from they e being only room in each
for a carriage to pass, there are, during the day, per-
petual stoppages. Wych-street, in the exening, is fre-:
trendy impassable from the east end, by ranges-of,
brewers' drays, or coal waggons on their return, whichr •
belonging to the same owner, or the same. wharf, meet
at an appointed place, and return in procession ; to dis-
pate the pass with which, or for foot-passengers to cross,
is a useless and a •dangerous experiment, especially at
the Angel Inn gateway, where coaches entering and .
leaving are very frequently delayed by this interruption.
Sir Esraaano Houa, in a paper recently read before .
the Royal Society on the anatomy and habits of the seal
and walrus, remarks the extraordinary coincidence be-
tween 'the foot of the latter "wieldy animal and that
of the insect class of creation. by-which they are enabled •
to adhere to a wall or a ceiling. Sir E. Howe, on era- .
mining the.hiud feet of a large walrus, brought house •
by Captain Sawn; from the Arctic regions, found it
provided with• a. hollow space beneath* by which the
animal is enabled at pleasure to produce a vacuum with
the muscular action of the toes, so as to adhere with
consoerable power le a rock or other declivity. . .

ROYAL FAMILIES OF FRANCE.

.

As at the present moment whatever relates to the.
French Monarchy possesses peculiar interest, it may not
be unpleasing to our Readers to he informed, that in a:
little work, entitled Moores History of France. arel'
tables of the families of the various dynasties. Inde-
pendently
.too of this feature, which confers on it
value not always possessed by larger publications, hull
vOlume may he recommended, as affording a good
precis of Trench history, especially as an elementary
%rift for young persons, for whom it is more imam-
iately designed.
• British Gaikrits of Art. 12mo.
This work deserves the attention of all who love the
Fine Arts. As a skecimen, we shall subjoin an estract
from the account st gives of one of the most vat`
collections in the kingdom, we mean

THE EARL OF EOREIIONT'S GALLERY AT PETWORTH.
61The interior of Petworth is on a scale of grandeur
and magnificence commensurate with its external cha-
racter; being scarcely. inferior in extent and splendour
to many Royal Palaces. Indeed, the grand hill and
staircm a good deal resemble those of Hampton Court;
the walls,„cqing, &c. being ornamented in a similar
manner, with allegorical paintings on an immense scale
by Sir 'limes Thornhill. These we shall pass by at
once, as not coming among the objects of our search,
and proceed to name a few of the principal works of
the old painters; premising, however, that the chief
riches of this c‘.llection consists in portraits, and those
chiefly by Vandyck.
46 The room you first enter at the right-hand corner
sof the half, called the Square Dining-room, is among
the richest and most interesting. Here is what may
undoubtedly be considered •as one among Vandyck's
choicest masterpieces in the way of portraiture—the
Earl of S.rafford. There is a sober solemnity in the
Colouring of this admirable work, which lie did not al-.
ways duly attend to' where it was needed; • in the air
and attitude there is a mixture of conventional nobility
End of conscious nattiittl power, which is finely charao
teristic ; and the head ii inimitably forcible and consis-
tent with the rest of the figure. This is truly an historical
picture, and may be perused and 'studied with as much,
reliance on its authenticity as any written portrait.thati
we possess in history. Vandyck's and Titian's portraits
of known historical characters are in this respect not
less interesting and less worthy of study than those of
Tacitus or Lord Clarendon—if, indeed, they are not
more so, inproportion as men can hide and disguise
their characters more easily in their words and actions
than they can in their looks. A fool never looked like
a wise man yet—though many a score have passed for
sa :h ; and &knave can no more put on the personal ap-
pearance of an honest man, than he can he one.
• si The portrait of Henry Earl of Northumberland,
when confined in the Tower, by the same 'artist; is
scarcely inferior to the foregoing in character and im-
portance ; and there is also' a nobly rich, yet sombre
tone of colour spread over it, which gives it a most im-
pressive effect. There are several other portraits in this
room, by Vandyck also, worthy of thehighest admira-*1
tion and the most careful perubill and study, but which
cannot be described in detail with any good effect. -I
gill mention in particular an exquisite one of Lady
Rich, another of the Earl of Newport, and one contain-
ing three persons, one of whom is another Earl of Nor,
tlinmberland. • '

a The other works in this room that call for particu-1
lar mention are, a curious portrait of Oliver Cromwell,'
in which the bent brow and compressed lips finely be-
speak the charaCter of the close and determined usurper;
two vet), pretty rural Hobbimat ; and an execrable pic-
ture of Macbeth in the Witches Cave, by Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds—which seems to me to evince a total want of sen-
timent, imagination, taste, and even execution. It Sir
Joshua had discoursed no better about historical paint-
ing than he practised it, his lectures would have en-
joyed a somewhat less degree of reputation than they
do; and perhaps they enjdy too much as it is. In fact,
a permanent and adequate treatise on this art is still a
desideratum in our literature; and- it is but too likely ,
to remain so : for where shall we look for a union of I
that knowledge, practical skill, and ability to develupe
these, which such a tas tequires? There is but one
person among us is soy degree qualified for the office;
and he has neither the industry nor the will to
undertake it. •
'""'ln aqpiher,dining-roons, which I think adjoins the
alinvettamed, Will be fogad * mosx estrious and elaborate
work, apparently-by Breughel, of a Turkish Battle ; and
also one or twq eicellent sea pieces by Vandervelde.
But We,mnst pHs on from these, through a room con-
taining some of Chirles's Beiuties —all alike —by
Kneller and Lely ; and kx our emotion to incompar-
ably the richest.apd most charming room in the pl-
lery. It contains five more of the bean* of ,Charles's
Couit, painted by Vituryck which, fM a eertain
courtly and enclusive air, 040 tn a perfect
naturalness, and truth of =Milks* sul'PaP
of the kind I have ever seen. The ioloqins, too; s

the effect of whiai is Partectly magical. Nothing ;an
be more striking than the aliikannee between these pic,
res, and those prdeising to represent the same. . :
of persons by Lely and Kneller, in' the pmeedin S g . :,
"It'd indeed wherever else they are to be founLl
latter painters bad but little, if any, perception of the
peculiar characteristics which the habiqr of a court life:
east .over the external appearance of those who con-
stantly partake in them—or rather, which they did cost
_tu
over it in those days; and.Vandyck had a more perfect
and intense perception of this than he had of anything
else in nature or art. And. - accordingly, the one, re-
presents his persons as they never were seen but in is
Court, and the others as they never were or could be
seen in any Court in existence. The one knew that ,a
Court beauty, while she remains innocent, is likely to
be, and in fact is, one of the purest and most innocent
of human beings; and he has represented them as such
accordingly: witness the divine portrait of the Countess
of Devonshire, in this room. The others knew of no
difference between a Court beauty and a courtexan, and
represented them accordingly ;—witness almost every
picture they ever painted. Pass backwards and for:
wards from one of these rooms (which are adjoining),
to the other, and you will at every glance perceive,
that, though each set of portraits professes to represent
precisely the same class of persons, there is as much
difference between them, generally, as well as in every
particular, as these is between Polly Avalon and Suky
Tovilry, in the Beggar's Upera.
• is The Ladies whose presence (for it is like their ac-
' teal presence) beautifies this room, must allow their
Ames to grace my page also, in order that the exist-
ence they owe to Vandyck..-or rather, which be repaid
.them in return for the immortality which Mey bestowed
on kier,may not be entirely confined to the fi ames
which contain theirs pictures. Incomparably the love-
hest of them—for a certain natural innocence, sweet-
ness, end purity, added to an inimitable Count air and
grace—is the one which I ha.e named above---the
Countess of Devonshire. The others are the Countesses
of Bedford, Leicester, Sunderland, and Carlisle.
" There is another picture in this room, which, rot-
withstanding the total dissimilarity of its subject, will
bear to be characterised by exactly the same phrases as
I have applied to the above lovely portrait. It is a
landscape by Cuyp. I have said that I was disappointed
in this gallery. 1 was so—but nit diSsatisfied. I should
have been content to have gone all the way from Lon-
don to see it; if it had consisted of this picture alone
4 M From the delightful room containing the above
pictures, we pass into the Library, which offers nothing
of sufficient importance to be particularly described ;
Though it is perhaps the most merely entertaining por-
tion of the collection, from the number of small cabinet
gems it includes. Among these there is a sweet Mag-
dalen, by Carlo Dolce, an interesting portrait of Anna
Boleyn, and several very pleasing pieces of the Dutch
school..—ln an ante-room adjoining to this, we meet
with two very interesting portraits: one of Sir Isaac
Newton, by Kneller, and another of Edward VI. by
Holbein : and in the large state dining-room which fol-
lows this, we have a most capital one of Harry VIII. by
the same extraordinary artist, who could produce—and
in tact has produced in the instance beicre us—the most
admirable force and spiritedness of general effect, not
only in spite of, but by means of, an infinite minuteness
of particular detail.- The bluff, boldfaced, impudent,
and swaggering tyrant, was never represented in a more
characteristic manner than in this picture of him."

TRE.TOMBS OF VIEBFS.
The ancient Egyptians, from the Monarch to the gib.
ject, believed that their souls, after many thousand yeses
would come to reinhahit their bodies, is case these lat-
,ter were preserved entire. 'Hence arose the embalming
nd the situation of the sepulchres, in place; not subject
'to the inundation of the river. These tombs at Thebes,
,consist of sepulchral grottces, made in the side of a
bill, from its base to within three-quarters of its sum.
*fink. The lowest are the best executed, and the most
Opacio,u. The plan of all is nearly the same. A door
Fto the east leads to a gallery, supported by CO-
gatos or pilasters. At the end of the gallery is a well.
which leads to the catacombs, where the atumtnies
were deposited. These walls, from forty to sixty fag'
deep, abut upon long subterranean alleys, terminating
in a square room, supported by pillars, in which roomkJ
are still remains of mummies. In the upper gallery
are bas-reliefs, or paintings on subjects relating to thel
funeral ceremonies ; and every grotto had a ceiling
painted in a fanciful manner, much resembling out
paper for rooms.—The tombs of the Kings ate parti-,
titlark noticeable. The ancient road to them has nut
been found. Every grotto communicated with the
valley by a large door. This leads into a succession of
galleries, with chambers on both sides. Oue of tbete
contains the actual sarcophagus, in which was placed
the =plumy of a King. It retains its cover, upon
!which is the Rqyal effigy. They exhibit all the arts of
loisilization which were obtained in Egypt, such as re-
I bite to the manufacture and agriculture, saddlery, car-
riages, pottery, counters for trade, rural employment,
htratiog, fishiog, marches of troops, punishments in use,
musical instrument!, habits, and furniture. But there
also prevails a great bizarrery of subjects. from which
the Romans borrowed the grotesque, so commonly
_
in the pictures of Het culaneum.

Saturday evening, the celebrated Miss MACAULAY
gave her second grand dramatic display of the Passions, to an assem-
blage drank and fashion at Sackeu's Marine Library, Ramsgate.
Cape of Good Hope papers state that an-epidemic
fever had made its appearance in Zeuatland, known to
the inhabitants of the Colony by the name of Pot Koorta,
and had already proved laud in some families.
At Croydon Fair, on Saturday, Southdown sheep
fnd lambs produced the following prices :—Lambs
rom 17‘ to 255.; leg, or shearling wethers; froM 245.
to s2s. ; and four-teethed wethers, It om S2s. to 40s. The
primest lean beasts, of Which there were but few, pro-
duced full Ss. per stone, calculating at their weight
when fat. At Lewes Fait on the same day, Southdown
sheep and lambs averaged full 4s. per head. beyond the
above prices; but there was no visible difference as to
the price of beasts in the tuo fairs, neither of which was
largely stocked.
THE BRIGHTON ROAD is 1750.—" If," says Horace
Walpole, in one of his •letters, " you `love good roads,
conveniences, good inns, plenty of postilions and horses,
be so kind as never to go into Sussex. We thought our-
selves in the northest part of England ; the whore coun-
try has a Saxon air, and the inhabitants are savage, as if
King George the Second was the first monarch of the
East Angles. Coaches grow there no more than balm
and spices ; we were forced to drop our post-chaise,
; that resembled nothing so much as harlequin's calash,

description, Elder-wine houses, and public houses. These are kept
open at all hours of the night, and dismierly persons from all parts
of London, knowing they can obtain liquor and accommodation
there, lock to them as a common centre, where, if any com-
panions in impropriety and drunkenness are to be found, that is the
sponin which they are to he soujght. Under these circumstances,
they hoped the Magistrates would feel themselves authorised
in interfering.
Sir liscua no observed, as to the first species of houses, he should
advise the respective parghes to indict them • as to the second de-
scription, elder-wine houses not being licemedvktuaUers, no efforts
could be made by him to check them; but as to the public-houses,
he undoubtedly would put a stop to their being kept open at
irregular hours, when applications were made for a renewal of
their license's.

mercy; after which, he gave bins a blow ovtr the eye, which
brought him tv) the ground.

must order you to find bail. Mr. Price—Oh ! yes, Sir, of course.1

less in your case. Mr. 'Price—Well, you can take my friend who is
Isere, while I go and procure another.
The Magistrate—You can send for another. Sir. Mr. Price--
Dear me, this is very odd. Will you let an Officer go with me?
The Magistrate—No, Sir; you must remain here.—Mr. P. was
then detained untiku messenger was sent fur another surety, and he

lent conduct on Wednesday, at St. J.MICS's Palace. .

wildness in the expression of his eye, that strongly denoted he was
the victim of revere mental disease.

ployment, whir! I am hi aspect:thin of, my appearance would be
were dil&rent.

threw them against the windows of the Board of Greets Cloth, and
broke them; WitUTS4 went to the Marshal of the Palace, and in-
formed him of the circumstance, and the Marshal returned with

conduct as that displayed by the prisoner, and be had him secured

in an asylum suitable for a person in his unfortunate state of sated,

gistrates, to know when the final examination of Mr. Fauntleroy
was to take place? One Gentleman was extresiely urgent to ascer-
tain this fact, but the reply to teU Hiles tiger no day was fixed, and
of course no satisfaction could be given to the applicants. This
'latter Gentleman said, that be was particularly anxious to be pre-
sent on the next occasion, and asked, If it would not be a good
plan for him to attend the Office regularly every day?
The Magistrate said, that be might please himself in that respect ;
but he thought his best mode would be, if his business was so press-
ing, to apply to the Bank of England upon the subject.

A most disgraceful exhibition took place yesterday, in
the Five Fields, Chelsea; two women fought a pitched
battle for a sovereign ; the cause of the quarrel was a
fit of jealousy on the part of one of the conibatants, the
wife of a costermonger. The most brutal fighting con,
tinned between the women fur two hours and a half,
' when the mob broke in, and the battle was a drawn one.
Races for saddles and bridles frequently take place on
the strand of Cullenstown, near Waterford. At one of
these, on Saturday last, vilien the stakes were laid and
the horses ready for starting, a carman came up, leading
an old blind horse with a kish of apples, and cried out,
44 Boys, will you let me try my hand?" "We will, we
will," was the general response. The new votary was
supplied by one of the bystanders with a saddle, the
stake money (we believe 2,2.;61) was deposited, and the
sportsman quickly appeared on the lists, mounted on his
blind charger. The signal was given, and, to the sor-
prise-of all, the blind horse completely distanced his
rivals, and won the race. The losers could not conceal
their chagrin, while it afforded a n.ost amusing scene tir
the great mass of the spectators, amongst whom were
several Ladies and Gentlemen of the neighbourhood.
After.agaiu placing the car upon his horse, the owner
coolly threw the saddle and bridle which he had wctt
into the kish, and, wishing the Gentlemen a.good morn-
ing, drove off with his pi izes, amid the shouts of those
who witnessed his success. .
The Ladies at Paris formerly, in,order to keeptheir
bouquets fresh, placed the stems in a small in funnel,
filled with water, and covered with green riband. It
was found, however, that colds and sore throats we're
the consequence of the occasional overturning of these
reservoirs, and the nosegays were left to their fate.
