Otto Vcn Kotzebue, which was lilted out for a voy-
age round the world, at the expense of the Chancel-
In, Count Rornanzow, and sailed from Cronstadt on
the 18th July, 1815, arrived there safe on the 19th
of July (0. b.), 1818. We may expect very interest-
ing information respecting thi.. voyage.
Daniel Wheeler, a Quaker, distinguished by his
good character, religious way of thinking, and know-
ledge of agriculture, has lately arrived here from
England.. in consequence of a previous invitation.—
His principal employment will be to drain the bogs
in the neighbourhood of the capital, to make them
fit for tillage, and xo dig the turf (or peat), which
has not hitherto been turned to any use. His Majesty'
the Eassferor has not only signified his nppsobaticret
of the undertaking, and assured the said I). Wheeler
of his favour, but has also assigned him a salary of.
500'pounds sterling per annum, and the sum of
23,0*.10 ro'ibles for the first beginning, towards the
expense of the work, and a detachment of pioneers
to dig ditches, &c. His Majesty has confided it to
the special care of M. Von kosodorsleff, Minister of
the Interior, and Prince Golitzin, Minister of Na
tional Instruction. It is to be expected that the un-
deitaking will be attended with complete success.

NORWICH UNION INSURANCE

Speedily will be published (by Order of the Directors),
ABRIEF and DISPASSIONATE APPEAL t.
the MEMBERS on the SUBJECT of the MEASURES
CONNECTED with the MEETINGS lately held at the
Gaols's! and Vutxuart Tares„, Cornhill, London.
For more than 21 years this Society has been extending
itself over various parts of Great Britain and Ireland, and the
Directors have been long accustomed to receive the most sada-
factory testimonies from the Insured, as to the manner in which
losses have been adjusted, and the general concerns of the Insti-
tution carried on.
In London, however, where the Society's Business (at least to,
any extent) is comparatively of recent date, much dissatisfaction
has lately been fomented; and the measures pursued by the
complaining parties have excited the attention of the Members
throughout the Kingdom.
A respectable London Committee being now occupied in the
investigation of the Society's concerns in that District, under
the express sanction of the Directors they have-been unwilling
in any manner to anticipate the Report of that Committee. But
the time of its publication being uncertain, and the Metnbers
throughout the country having earnestly requested official infor-
mation on the late transactions in town, the Directors feel that
this is no more than they are entitled to, independently of any
measures that may be in progress tespecting the Metropolis and
its vicinity.
. Under these circumstances (and especially since the George
and Vulture Committee has issued a Remit the Board has de-
termined to publish such a Statement as may be calculated to
meet the wishes of the Country Members; in doing which, they
will, for the present, exclude Irons their consideration the un-
settled claims in the London District; or if it 4bould be found
needful to allude to them, it will be done no further than may
be unavoidable for conveying to the general body of insurers the
information they desire.

month tali short of it by 1400 bales : this large sup-
ply, together with the arrival of the Ainerican crops
(commencing in January) mast, we conceive, reduce
the price to the old standard, especially if the qua-
lity of the American proves better than the former
crop, and the quantity even equal t greater we ima-
gine it will be, as letters mention the cultivation to
be considerably extended in the United States, the
planter finding that land► not suitable to other pur
poses/ can be advantageouttly employed in the pro-
duction of inferior Cottons. We therefore hope to sue
a speedy reduction in the prices, both at home and
in this count' y, to enable us to cope with the Ame-
rican planter and merchant.

BONMAHON RACES.

Wednesday sennigl;,;l; Second Annual Meeting of these
RaCent: CO:111111enCrd, and, on that day, and the following, there
was excellent running ; although the weather was very cella.
vourable, it did not prevent the occurrence of a very numerous
meeting. The Friday morniag was peculiarly favourable for
the most interestiog chace that ever took place in that country.
Fifteen of the most celebrated hunters from different Counties
met, and were entered to contest the prize, which was about
£lOO, and twelve of the best appeared on the ground about two
;o'clock, mounted by Gentiemen selected for superior horseman-
ship. They started near Newtown, and ended at Bonmahon,
I and the ground for four miles was so judiciously marked out (ly-
ing between two roads), that the spectators could witness nearly
the entire of this admirable chace. For the first three miles it
was di E:ult to discover which horse had the advantage, but on
assailing Ott hill commencing the fourth mile, after a desperate
struNle, Mr. ittsICAYNt'S famous horse, rode by Mr. Causw,l
and Mr. M. Pow:::.'s horse, rode by Mr. Bersoor., took the
lead, followed eleely by the rest. Mr. ROICATNi'II horse was
the victor, and never was there witnessed so severe and well-
cow:es:cd a chace, or so numerous and respectable an assemblage.
They r..,a the four miles, itArryiug 12 stone, through an enclosed
rountry, in fourzcen minutes. The joyous scene closed without
any accident, and at the hospitable mansion of Gardenmorris,
where the I..,tive board invited the passing stranger, bumpers
were 611(1: tc the generous Host and amiable Hostess.

THE LIFE of the Right Hon. R. B. SHERIDAN.
By JOHN WATKINS, L.L.D. with a particular ac-
count of his Fennly and Coanections, drawn from authentic do-
cuments and illustrated with original correspondence and a
variety of interesting Anecdotes of distinguished persons, among
whom will be found Burke, Fos. I.lr. Johnson, Dr. Farr, Gar-
' rick. &c. &a.
When the various talents of this celebrated man are consi-
dered, the distinguished part he took in the political affairs of
the Country, his long connection with the &age, his intimacy
with the highest characters and the greatest wits of the age, and
those embarrassments which too frequently accompany genius;
a faithful and impartial history of his life could scarcely fail to
prove one of the most useful as well as entertaining works that
has ever issued front the press. In this expectation the public
will not be disappointed ; they have here presented to them a
faithful and accurate history of his private as weU.O public We—.
every act of his splendid career conies forth in gradual review,
and It la but justice to say, that his Biographer • bath nought
extenuated nos set down aught in malice s" be is not the IN ae
flatterer and encomiast ails too much the Cale with modern life
writers: he has executed his labour with fidelity and impartiality
and with that entire freedom from political bias which should
ever mark the pen of an historian.

FORTIIPICATIONS IN THE NETHERLANDS.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in
rising to move a grim of money towards completing
the Fortifications in the Netherlands, had the satis-
faction to remind the House, that ultimately they
might calculate the charge would not fall on this
country. He thought it a matter of great congra-
tulation to the House, that hitherto there had been
no delay on the part of the French Government in
meeting those charges which they- were bound to
bear. After a few further remarks, he conclu ued
by moving for a grant -of .725,6811. 12s. on account
of the sum of 2,000,0001. to be advanced by this
country, towards cornirletitig the Fortifications of the
Netherlands, under a Treaty signed August 13, 1814.
Mr. WARRE was not sure whether the Chancellor
a the Exchequer had stated France to have advanced
the sum-she was bound to contribute towards the
Fortifications. The Government of the Netherlands
was bound to advance 2,000,0004 as well as the Go-
vernment of this Country ; he wished to know what
proportion of this sum they had advanced. - •

PROPIATT TAX.

Mr. BROUGHAM rose pursuant to notice.
submit a motion to the House, which had for
object the destruction of all the returns whici
been made to the odious Income-Tax. The print*
of this motion was so obvious that he would not a
one word in support of it. He would merely.,
coed to state why it had become necessary To
Eaago it was state by the Chancellor ts
clis chequer that steps had been taken to destroy*
returns. On subsequent enquiry.he had found is
the orders for their destruction, though prc,pe:r
sued, as he had no doubt the Right Honourab:e Grr
tleman believed, had been so imperfectly coraMSI
with, that in all parts of the country returns hulls
found used to wrap articles sold in shops of r
descriptions, so that it was almost impossible hi
person to go into one of them without seeing bison
return, or that of his neighbour thus disposed A.
was said on this being made known that more effects!
steps would be taken for their destruction: km
mean time, however, *circular letter from the 1a
office had appeared, directing accurate 'copies ut
taken of all the returns in the country, which r
to be transmitted to London. It was said, hoar
that the returns should. be destroyed, and mei
more had transpired till a few days ago. lectt.
(Mr. Brougham) had asked • the Chancellor cc 1.1

any. part of the country? The ,House .wc3lj ee
if copies were kept it was of no importance that

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCII 4.
Counsel were heard in continuation, and finally, respecting
the Scots cause of " Muir v. Muir."—Judgment postponed.
The Grand Junction Canal Bill, and two Private Ms, were
' brought up from the Commons, by Mr. J LIILVEY, Mr. Brim,
and others, and read the first time.
The Oaths of Abjuration and Fidelity being administered at
the Bar to M. Prievost, the Bill for his Naturalization was read
the first time ; and Messrs. Taylor and Povey, the Clerk and
Acting Seaton of the Church of St. Martin's, were also swum
with respect to their intended evidence before the Committee
on the said Bill.
The Annual Indemnity Bill was read the second time.
The Report vf the Committee on the Indemnity Bill being
presented by the Earl of Suarrassuay, the Amendments made
therein were taken Into consideration, and agreed to by the
House, as was a further Amendment suggested by the Loan
Cmaxceu.oa.—The Bill, as amended, was then ordered to be
printed, and, if ready, it is understood will be moved for a third
reading to-morrow, for which day the Lords were ordered to
be summoned.
Viscount Suniouvir presented a Copy of the Report made
by the Commissioners of Inquiry, to the Privy Council, re-
specting the Jury Court in Scot Lind, which was ordered to be
printed.—Adjourned. •

of about 2s. it is yet to be had for 4s. 6d. to ss. per
cwt. To conclude, the benefits to he derived from its
'total repeal may be thus summed up in—The great
encouragement it would afford to the fisheries, the
best nursery for seamen, for which purpose all the
bounties that have been ranted are as nothing in
comparison, and which might thus be saved.
The employment and relief it would afford to the
poor from the quantity of cheap food, procurable by
their own exertions ; and it may not be going too
far to suppose, that shortly more money would
thus be saved annually in the Poors Rate than is
raised by this oppressive Tax ; whilst an increasing
and industrious population would probably also oc-
casion an increased demand for agricultural products.
The Landholder and Farmer would thus be bene-
fited, besides what they would derive from being
enabled to use Salt for any purpose, duty free.
If the tat cannot be abandoned without an equi-
valent, it would assuredly be for the advantage of
all to commute it for some other of almost any de-
scription. Indeed it would be impossible to substitute
any other that could produce a tithe of the evils that
result from the tax upon Salt.
In the hope that you may deem these remarks
worthy of insertion in your Paper, and the notice of
the Public, I remain, Mr. EDITOR,
Your most obedient servant, R. T.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

J. Peltier was indicted for assaulting W. Fuller.—
From the evidence of the rosecutor, it appeared that
he was in the habit of fr. venting a rouge-et-nbir
table, kept by the defendant in Bennet-street, St.
James's. One night as he was sitting at home, about
eleven o'clock, in his house in Edward-street, Ca-
vendish-square, the defendant entered, accompanied
by another person, called him a number of oppro-
brious epithets, collared him, pushed him about, told
him he had employed a person to watch him for ton
days, and said he thought he would find him cut at
last. This was the assault complained of. But it also
appeared, on the cross-examination, that the defen-
dant (having somehow or other taken it into his head
that the prosecutor had excited his, the defendant's,
son to rob the Bank at the gambling table) accused
the prosecutor of making his son as great a black-
quard as himself. This charge the prosecutor in the
' Fullest and most unequivocal manner denied.
The prosecutor's sister corroborated his testimony
completely, and the defendant was found guilty, and
sentenced to 14 days imprisonment.
It will perhaps be recollected, that, in our Police
repent, we mentioned that a woman named Bryan
had been committed for the wilful murder of a child
named Dugan, in consequence of having taken her
out with her, into St. Giles's, aid given• her beer,
spirits, &c. during the absence of the child's mother,
which occasioned the death of the infant. Guided
by the opinion of the Coroner, the Jury, on the In-
quest, returned a verdict of wilful murder against'
Elinor Bryan. Yesterday the Grand Jury appeared
in Court, and the Foreman stated to Mr. CoNst, the
Chairman, that they had been unable to bring their
minds to the conclusion that Mrs. Bryan had that'
felonious intent against the child, which would war.'
rant them in conscientiously finding a true bill for,
wilful murder against her. They had, therefore,
found a bill for manslaughter.—The Chairman said
he had no doubt they bad acted very properly, and
according to their consciences.

FROM THE WOO9STOCK HERALD.

SINGULAR CIRCVNILTANCE-.-Dr. homasWhartcrt,
of this place, has confined in a wire cage two live
rattle-snakes, a male and female. The male has nine
rattles, the female seven=-the male black, the female
of a yellowish cast. The male was put in the cage
on the sth instant : it was quite cross the first day.
On the 6th the female was put in, and appeared quite
passive, but in a few minutes sheaved her anger, in
biting a mouse that was put in soon after her. The
little creature's fate was anticipated: it died in
than a minute. On the 7th a large rat was put in
' with them: it did not appear the least daunted, but
made a most spirited attack upon the rattle of the
male, and bit off one half of it. At this time, it re.
ceived a bite from the female, which enraged it more,
and it made a second attack upon the male, and bit
off the balance of the rattle entire. While in this act,
it received two bites from the male, and was imme-
diately taken out and put in a wire ;rap, to observe
what effect the bites would have on it, and, to the
astonishment of all who witnessed the scene, it sus-
tained no injury. The snakes now appear to be quite
harmless. The Doctor, we believe, intends present.
tug them to the proprietor of the Alexandria Museum.

Glow but to speak, and only burn to writer
From Mines to more hostile Critics sink,
And deluge kingdoms—not with blood—but ink ;
Since past are high,erroight joys and tragic pains ;
And little, save the Farce of Life, remains ;
The Pile of earthly Grandeur rises taper ;
And what began in Gold—must end In paper

Our tender bosoms learn in song to melt,
And send our griefs to press, as soon as felt.

No gentle Hope can bloom and fade unseen,
