conclusive evidence, hi his opinion, of the existence
of a foul and detestable conspiracy. It had every
-feature of a plot ; but be thanked HEAVEN it had
totally and completely failed ; and disgrace, both
deep and lasting, had covered its authors and abet-
tors. Nor was it on the Continent alone that this
conspiracy had been going on; in this country, nay,
in this very county, the most atrocious calumnies
had been propagated against her. Majesty. A Peer,
resident in Norfolk, previous to that trial, upon which
he was about to sit as a Judge, had assisted in giving
currency to the basest slanders against the Queen.—
Every art that malice could suggest, every calumny
that money could purchase, had been resorted to—
but all had failed-.to accomplish the design of her
enemies: She was ig still Queen in spite of them."
R. H. GURNEY Esq. M.P. said, the present pro-
ceeding had had GURNEY,
tendency to bring into contempt
the dignity of the Crown, by bringing the foibles of
the Royal ramily to light. If the present proceed-
ings ,had been carried further, the conduct of the
other branches of the Royal Family must have been
inquired into. The present proceedings must not,
however, be allowed to end here. The conduct of
the Milan Commission must be scrutinized, and the
Country will not rest satisfied until those who are
guilty shall meet with due and severe punishment—
(:.,Loud cheers).
The Thanks of the Meeting were then moved to
the Mayor, for calling the Meeting, and for his con-
duct in the Chair, and also to R. H. Gurney, Esq.
M.P. for his attendance.

The MAYOR returned thanks to the Meeting, both
for their present conduct, as wells their peaceable
behaviour on Monday night.

TTHE much-lamented
_Death of your late worthy.
and respected Director, Sir Axe:Anna ALLAN, Bart.
again calls me forth to offer myself to your notice as a
Candidate for the honour of a seat in the Direction of your

be qualifications worthy the consideration of the Proprietors, I
beg leave respectfully to solicit your suffrages at the approaching
Ballot, on the ground of my having been nearly eighteen years
a Principal in a House intimately connected with the genei-al
commerce of the ccuntry, and in the hope that my eiperience will
have enabled me thus to form a correct. judgment upon the gene!.
ral business of the Company. I shalt employ the short time which
this sudden event permits me to have in paying my personal re-
spects to the Proprietors individually : and have the honour to
remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, 1.,.

REVOLUTION IN PORTUGAL.

At a late hour last night we received newspapers
and letters from Oporto to the 2d instant inclusive;
but they leave us still in the dark as to the events
that have occurred at Lisbon, We believe, however,
that we may venture to say there must have been
much exaggeration in the French accounts, as we
have learnt from a partner in one of the first English
houses in Lisbon that there were no British troops
there, though there are many English Officers in the
Portuguese Army. From this, it seems to follow
that our countrymen could hardly be exposed to the
opposition and resentment of the Revolutionists ; for,
either if the Portuguese soldiery were engaged in the
Revolution, our countrymen were with them ; or, as
at Oporto, would be allowed to withdraw. It is im-
possible that, standing alone, they could or would
offer to oppose the Army and the People.

It is stated, indeed, in some letters that have been
received from Oporto, that the Count d'Ammtawrz,
who had .the command of three or four thousand
troops, had issued a Proclamation in favour of the
Old Government; and therefore it is possible, if this
force opposed the general voice, that some British
Officers might suffer, in common with the others en-
gaged in the same cause. But, in fact, we have yet
to learn whether this Commander found himself suf-
ficiently supported, to encourage him to og'er resist-
ance to the measures of the Revolutionists.—The fol-
lowing are extracts from the Letters and Journals:

VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 8.

All incertitude on the subject of the Neapolitan
Ambassador is now removed. It was not till he ar-
rived at Clagenfurth that the Duke de GALL° found
himself compelled to stop by the declaration of the
Commandant, that he could not permit him to pursue
his route. From that place the Duke dispatched two
Couriers hither, one of whom was the bearer of let-
ters for Pi ince METTERNICH. The Duke insists, it
is said, on coming here. As yet there has been no
formal decision on the subject.

EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.

" Our Juntas of Carbonari, and our Ministry of
War, are apprised of the military preparations with
which Atistria seems to menace us. They are occu-
pied unceasingly in the organization of all our means
of defence, and you will perhaps be surprised at the

• •

resources which we shall be able to bring to the
port of our independence. We are disposed to make:
every sacrifice. Nothing has been solicited i•
respect, and from all parts of the kingdom offer, of
men and money are received by the Government:
FRANKFORT, SETTEMBER 7.
• A report is current here, founded • u the autheriq
of commercial letters, . that the King of Sardinia,
formed of the march of a body of Austrian true;
towards the frontiers of Piedmont, has given orihrs
that the fortress of Alexandria should be rut il, t
good state of defence. It would seem from thi,, that
this Monarch has decided that the Sardinian array
shall be promptly .yut in motion. We wait with ihi-
patience for farther accounts.

NEAPOLITAN REVOLUTION.

It is now confirmed that the Austrian Government
has refused to receive the new Neapolitan Ambas-
sador, the Duke de GALLO. He was stopped at CLar
genfurth. He has, it is true, from. that place ad-
dressed remonstrances to Prince Marraatucn,

sisting on being received ; but his letters will be un-
availing. The dye then may be considered as cast !

RAMSGATE. MARCH' v;.

Upwards of 100 Gentlemen and Tradesmen of
the town, dined together yesterday at the Albion
Hotel, in order to celcbra c the return to Parliament
of Sir WILMA?! CURTIS, RAM who, from lung hav-
ing had a residence at Ramsgate, in addition to nein,.
Chairman to the Ilarbour trustees, is considered at.
one of us. Our highly respected Deputy, RICHARD
TOMSON, Esq. presided on the
soccasion, and who,
after the cloth was removed, and pi otiosing
and. a happy reign of many years to KING GRORDR
the Founrit, Ind the health of the- rest of our 6e-
loved -Royal Family, rose to notice, the object of the
Meeting ; this he did with much perspicuity, in an
animated- speech, setting forth the numerous good
qualities which, for a long series of •years, have
masked the public-spirited conduct of Sir WILLIAM
CURTIS, rot only in, but out of Parliament; and
nothing we have 3Sitnessed for a length of time,
could exceed the enthu iasrn with ishich the loyal
ana open-hearted Baronet's health was- received and
drank, with thundering three times three, in honour
of his successful Election for the City of LondoiS.--L-
Numerous appropriate toasts were given in the.course
of the evening., amongst which Sir WILLIAM'S col-
leagues in Parliament (Mr. WILSON, Alderman
Wools, and the Lean MAToa,) were not forgotten ;
neither were the tali* of the-Wet-thy and Indepen-
dent Livery of London, which latter toast was given
by the descendant of 'a Liveryman, who in his day
stood high in the ranks of that respectable body of
London Freemen.—Music was provided, -and a cele-
brated comic singer engaged for the occasion. which
added much to the mirth and gaiety of the com-
pany, who were, to a man, unanimous in promoting
the comfort of eaclfother, and doing all honour to
Sir WiLLtAic etnlcas, whose personal friends present
must have been highly gratified, and particularly so
the principal Officers of Ramsgate Harbour, who
appeared grateful for the very distinguished man-
ner in which Sir WILLIAM'S recent victory was
marked by his Ramsgate friends. •
The company did not separate till a very late hour;
and we cannot close this article, in justice to Mr.
BEAR (the Proprietor of the Albion Hotel), without
noticing the excellent and sumptuous dinner which
graced-his table, at so short a notice, followed up, the
evening throughout, with wines of such quality as
would have honoured the cellar of the first Noble-
man in the kingdom. The Town and Harbour were
plentifully decorated with colours very early in the
morning, and most of the Gentlemen present at the
above entertainment wore Sir WILLIAM CURTIS'S
electioneering favours at the button-hole of their
coats, or as watch-ribands.

The. trial presents, every appearance of lasting for

without Counsel, trusting apparently to the benefit
of Mr. HuNT's superlative exertions. Mr. SCARLET?
is leading Counsel for the Crown.
Without interfering with the solemn question which
is at issue—the guilt or innocence of these individuals
of nothing less than a conspiracy to overturn the
happy Government under which we live—we may be
permitted to observe to our Readers, that in whatever

anticipated, embrace any decision of the collateral

ANOTHER WAY OF MATCH-MAKING.

Amongst the Cretans, the young men, .when of',
mAture age, were not permitted to marry as they
thought ht themselves. They were not left to the
impulse of passion, by which we are so frequently
misled in that serious engagement. In forming the
contract of wedlock, riches and pleasures were not
their objects—those delusive phantoms, which often
bring discord, indifference, and regret. In truth, a
Cretan married not for himself, but for the State.',
The Magistrates had the right of choosing the'
strongest and beet made of the young men, and of
marrying them to women who resembled them in
constitution and figure, that a well proportioned
matrimonial union might produce a robust, tall,
well-made posterity, whose physical powers would
do tonour to the nation, defend it, terrify their ene-'
mies by their mere presence, and conquer and reduce
them to subjection, by their strength and their valour.

ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS.

M. Lapostolle, Professor of Chemistry and Natu-
ral Philosophy, at Amiens, has recently proved by ex,
periment, that straw is by far the best conductor of
the electric fluid. He proposes, accordingly, to erect
all over France, poles of lime or other white wood,
twenty feet long, around which bands of straw shall
be entwined; each pole to have a metallic point at
the. top. These, he thinks, would supply the place
of ordinary conductors ; one only would suffice for
a square of sixty. acres, and at an expense exeeedz
ingly small.

The tears of regret, with the glances of love •
Regret—that so soon she must leave, anbefrended,
The lord. of her bosom in sadness to rove.
One eve, as she rested her head on my breast—
Can I cease to remember that moment? No, never! ,
On my lips with wild fervor a kiss she irnprest,
Then sunk to repose on my bosom for ever!
For scarce had I tasted the sorrowful bliss
When her heart seued its throbbing, and dim grew her eye ;
And I found that my lips had entombed her last sigh;
That her spirit had fled with the kiss! A.
WONDERFUL MEMORY.
(Anecdote by Dr. ILast.ast).
Many of the transactions of our early years ap-
pear to be wholly obliterated from our recollection ;
they have never been presented as the subject of our
thoughts, but after the lapse of many years, have
been accidentally revived, by our being placed in the
situation which originally gave them birth. Although
there are numerous instances on record, and some
perhaps familiar to every reader, I shall prefer the
relation of one which came under my immediate ob-
servation. About sixteen years ago, I attended a
Lady at some distance from town, who was in the
list stage of an incurable disorder. A short time
before her death, she requested that her youngest
child, a girl about four years of age, might be brought
to visit her, and which was complied with. The
child remained with her about three days. During
the last summer, some circumstances led me to ac-
company
this young Lady to the same house. Of her
visit when a child, she retained no trace of recollec-
tion, nor was the name of the village even known to
her. When an ived at the house, she had no me-
mory of its exterior ; brit on entering the room where
her mother had been confined, her eye anxiously
traversed the apartment, and she said, " I have been
here before, the prospect from the window is quite
familiar to me, and I remember that in this part of
the room there was a bed and a sick Lady, who
kissed me and wept." On minute inquiry, none of
these circumstances had ever occurred to het recol-
lection during this long interval, and in all proba-
bility they would never have recurred but for the
cality which revived them.

SHAKING MINARETS.

The City of Ahmedabad, in Bombay, is justly
celebrated for its beantiful building's of stone and
other materials, and was not less so for the famous
Shaking Minarets, which were admired by every
stranger. The awful earthquake which visited this
city on the 18th of June last, has, we regret to learn,
levelled nearly the *hole of these fine ornaments with
the dust. The proud spires of the great mcsque, the
Juma Muzjid, erected by Sultan Ahmud, the King
of Guzerat, and the founder of the city of Ahmeda-
bad, which had stood nearly four hundred and fifty
years, have tumbled to the ground within a few yards
of the place where they once reared their heads. The
mosque itself has sus:ained less injury than could
have been expected, and the handsome arch which
divided the minarets !ias escaped unhurt. Another
Muzjid, of elegant structure, which lies to the left of
the road leading to the Shahee Bagh, denominated
the Beebees, or Unchunt koenkee ke Muzjid, has
shared the same fate. A Gentleman, while riding
out, saw the minarets come down ; the tops were
thrc,wn to a distance, and immediately afterwards
the stones came tumbling down one after another.--
The only remaining shaking minarets, which are at
all worthy of notice, and are much inferior to the
others, hare,• it it said, been sadly. fractured ; they
are situated in the Goonopteepoora,.to the east of the
city, outside the walls.

SALUBRITY OF THE LONDON All.

It was 4.saFint of Mr. Cline, many years ago,
that " London is the healthiest spot in all the world."
In no place are there so many human beings congre-
gated together enjoying so high a degree of general
good health. Mr. Sutleffe, Surgeon, gives it as his
opinion, in a paper in the last number of the London
Medical Repository, that the happy exemption which
the inhabitants of London for the most part enjoy
from the diseases common to other capitals, is owing
to the sulphurcous naptha emitted from the coal,
serving the salutary purpose of checking the delete-
rious agency of febrile affection. " It is an indis-
putable fact," he says, " that whilst the reports of
medical men teem with complaints of the.prevalence
of fever a few miles around .us on many sides, we
must all acknowledge the mildness of the febrile
character in the metropolitan region." "To pros ,"
he adds, " that the air is saturated with sulphureosis
naptha, we shall not be able to recognize the presence
of a ►asp for ten years together in this region, an in-
sect to which sulphur is positively obnox►ous."

this, as Kell as in every other respect, excepting the
colour, resembles the Zebra. It is said to be a

PRIME MINISTER SICK.

M. Bondon, an eminent Surgeon, was one day sent
for by the Cardinal du Bois, Prime Minister of
France, to perform a very serious operation upon
him. The Cardinal, on seeing him enter the room,
said to him, " You must not expect to treat ipe in
the same rough manner as you treat your poor mi-
serable wretches at your hospital of the Hotel Dieu."
" My Lord," replied M. Bowdon with great dignity,'

Gramataxii,
AGAIN I renew thy thanks for your iteady and
independent support, manifested by the Poll of This Ijay.
However I may vary my expressions of acknowledgment,
grat!tude and confidenFe are the sentiments of my heart :--gra-
Eitatie for your continued favour—conclence in your liberal and
unabated zeal; but permit me to remind you, that many thou-
sand Liverymen remain unpolloul; and that an early attendance
will diminish their own trouble; amrgive additional security to
a good cause. When I compare the numbers that have attended
on the present Election, with those who,. on the last Election,
bad, by their votes, expressed their principles, I fear that some
torpor may exist, which the present circumstances of this Con-
test and of the Country do not allow.. Never, I submit, Was
It Mere important that persons should be returned to Parliament
whose principles are known—wbose•patriotic conduct has been

uniform—whose independence has been tried—whole love to
Civil and Religious •Liberty has- been de4nonstratod by their
sacrificds and their toils. By this cttet ion lam willing toahide;
and I advert to my past disinteresid and strenuous exertinnk
in your service, as the best recommendation to your present
confidence, and as the best pledge for my future life;
And have the honour to remain, Geeltmen,
Your devoted, faithful, and obedient Servant)

THE DEVIL

' (Extract from a French work entitled “ The Devil, painted by
himself").
In all ages the Devil has rendered great service to
the learned, for whom he has always evinced parti•
cular regard. Scaliger was said to have entered
into a compact with him. Socrates,. Apuleusi
Agrippa, Cardan, Cagliostro, are reported to have
had familiars who inspired them with knowledge..—
Roger Bacon was imprisoned because the Devil
taught him mathematics. The Knights Templars,
and Joan of Arc, were accused of holding commu-
nication with demons. Our ancestors had so mean
an opinion of the human mind, that they deemed it
incapable of producing anything without the aid of
the Devil. John Faust, ore of the inventors of print-
ing, was suspected of holding open communication
with the Prince of Darkness. In Switzerland, the
common people entertain so high a notion of his
talents, that they attribute to him the construction''
of several master-pieces of architecture. Denis le

Chartreux says, that the Devil is a great geornetrai
clan; Milton asserts that he excels in the building of
bridges; and Tennilian informs us, that the Devil
is so good a natural philosopher, that he can carry
sieve full of water, without spilling a drop!

BUYING WIVES.
The Babylonians had a law, which was also fol-
lowed by the Heneti, an Illytian people, and by He-
rodotus thought to be ene of their best, which or-
dained that when girls were of a marriageable age,
they were to repair at a.certain time to a place MIMS*
the young men likewise assembled. They were then
sold by the public crier, who first disposed of the
most beautiful one. When he had sold her, he put
up others to sale, according to their degrees of
beauty. The rich Babylonians were emulous to carry
off the finest women, who were sold to the highest
bidders. But as the young men who were.poor could
not aspire to have a fine woman, they were content to
take the ugliest, with the money which was given with
them : for when the crier had sold the handsomest,
he ordered the ugliest of all the women to be brought,
and inquired if any one was willing to take her with
a small sum of money ? Thus she became the wife of
him who was most easily satisfied ; and thus the finest
women were sold, and from the money which they
brought, small fortunes were given to the ugliest,
and to these who had any bodily deformity. A fa-
ther could not marry his daughter as he pleased, nor
was he who bought her allowed to take her home,
without giving security that he would marry her.,
But, after the sale, if the partites were not agreeable
to each other, the law enjoined that the purchase
money should be restored.

CALFSFOOT JELLY.

We have the authority of Auld Reekie's first Pa-
ils:kr for stating, that, according to a most philoso-
phical and accurate calculation made by him, the
quantity of culfsfoot jelly consumed in Edinburgh
alor.e, is five times greater than could be afforded
by all the calves killed in Scotland put together. The
truth is, it is generally made from bullock,' entrails,
which are carefully preserved from the dogs, and
transmitted t.) the mansions of those Ladies, whom
their cards inform us we are to have the pleasure of
finding " At Home," a few evenings afterwards!!—

GLASGOW, MARCH 8.

The three Radical Delegates belonging to the
County of Renfrew, who were lately apprehended in
Glasgow, along with a number of others of the same
description, were all liberated on Friday last, on
giving sufficient security that they would come for-
ward again when called upon, within a certain pe-
riod. They all expressed their innocence. They were
unconscious, they said, cf having done anything
wrong, as they knew not properly for what purpose
the Meeting had been called together, nor by whom
it was actually originated. A general suspension
from lalioui had been much talked of and anticipa-
ted, but they avow most solemnly that if such an ob-
ject had been suggested and discussed, they would
have opposed it in the most decided manner.
It is at the same time_a little mysterious, and cer-
tainly merits inquiry, that so many men, from so
many places, should have thus assembled without, as
they assert, any distinct object in view, and deviating
from the common practice, in not announcing to the
Public, when and where such a Meeting would be
held, and for what reasons they would be congre-1
gated. Such Assemblies, • conducted with so much
secrecy, must excite suspicion and create alarm.—
Some of she other Delegates are strongly suspected.
It is very generally reported and believed, that it was
by their instrumentality, and through their advice,
that the Meeting was called, and the seizures effected.
All the Radicals in prison at present, one excepted
whose examination is not yet finished, may be libe-
rated on bail being given.

DINNER TO MR. OWE

The canvass for the Lanark District of Burghs
having unexpectedly become less favourable towards
Mr. °wart, in that town, than many of the inhabi-
tants anticipated, on Friday se'nnight, a public dinner
was given to him in the County Hall, at Lanark, by
a number of the Burgesses and inhabitants, in testi-
mony of their admiration of his intri•pidity and per-
severance in his designs for the public welfare, and of
esteem and respect for his character in prlirate life.
Althbugh the measure had only been in contempla-
tion for twb days, the Hall was crowded to Overflow-
ing, and many persons were disappointed for want
of more timeoas intimation. An invitation to Mr.
Owin had been sent on the evening preceding the
Meeting, and a polite card of acceptance returned.
He accordingly attended, accompanied by .Mr.
MIL-
Lan, Ackonte.
At four o'clock, the Chair was taken 14 WILLI4M
LOCKHART, Esq. of Balm:114d, Bailie Witsost was
Croupier.
After several loyal toasts were given, Mr. LOCK-
HART pronounced a short and just encomium on the
character of Mr. Ovrem, and proposed the health of
that individual, and success to his spirited and bene-
volent exertions for the good of mankind, which was
received w itb the most unbounded enthusiasm and
applause.
In returning thanks for the mark of approbation
which the Meeting had bestowed, Mr. Owl entered
into a detail of his Plans, and referred to the know-
ledge of every individual present, for confirmation of
the beneficial results which had flowed from his sys-
tem) as developed-in its practical application to the
village of New Lanark.
During the whole of his speech, Mr. OWEN was
heard with the most profound attention; and when he
concluded, he. was greeted with a bur-t of applause.
In the course of the evening, the Meeting were
gratified with some elegant and appropriate speeches
from Mr. MILLFht, and the utmost cordiality and
unanimity prevailed throughout. The thanks of the
Meeting were given .to,Mr. Lecnnartr for his con-
duct in the Chair.
A Meeting like the present is believed to be-un-
precedefited and when it is known thilt it took place
without previous concert, from the spontaneous feel-
ings of the inhabitants who were present, it reflects
great lr..nour on Mr. Owen, whose character is so
much under the eye of the inhabitants of Lanark.
