LORD CoLcHasisa's VISIT TO Surrifaxario.—The inhabitants
of Sutherland have been highly gratihed by Lord COLCHUTIS
vi it to Dunrobin Ca,tli, where he arrived on the 7th inst. and
Loin which place his Lordship, accompanied by the Mar-
s Lioness of Stafford and the Honourable Captain Abbot, con-
tinued his journey to the Ord of Caitbuess, along one of the
Parliamentary roads, which, after the most unwearied perseve.
ranee, he has now seen completed, much to the satisfaction of
every one having the prosperity of the Highlands of Scotland
at heart. Lord Colchester's joureey not only enabled him to see
the Fishing Colony of Heltusdale, a busy and interesting scene, but
to make several excursions through the interior of the Sutherland
Ratite, formerly inaccessible, but now furnished with excellent roads
in Alf irections. On Saturday se'unight his Lordship was waited
• t by a Deputation limn Donusch, to request his acceptant* of the
freedom of that ancient Burgh, as a mark of the respect and grad.
tilde of its inhabitants; and on the 1 nth his Lordship proceeded to
Inverness, to inspect the works un the Caledonian Canal.
According to the statement of a person worthy of
c edit, the number of garlands laid upon the tomb of
,1 TA LM 4, in the cemetry of Pere la Chaise, has increased
within a short time to 2,000. The number of those

which corer the tomb of (iraeral FOY is incalculable.

VI lINNA, Autirr 10.

A letter froth Jassy, of the lit of August, btings thi
following melancholy 'account of a desttuctive
which reduced to ashes abOve a third part of that cirri
" About half-past two in the afternoon yesterday,
fire broke out in a house near the Russian Consclife.
A most violent north wind immediately carried the
burning shingles of the-roof to the quarters of tke city
situated in that direction, and in less than a quatter of
an hour more than ten houses, in parts at some dis.
Lance from each other, were in flames. The fury 0'1! i
storm continued to increa,e; and the flames, rolling
a oond like the waves of the sea, seized, with ince,/ ble
rapidity,every thing in their course. All hunts t asti.t.anre
was impossible,and every one was glad to escape with
life. From the house of M. Sisathar Illie Izmen, where it
commenced, nearly to the Fiench Consulate in breadth,
and sideways on one hand to the stream of B tzhlui,ald
on the other to the M •very Tormosa, everything is
reduced to ashes.—More than one-third of the city, and
that the handsomest part, is burnt. Neatly 800 house.,
including the palace of the Hospodar, with all the re-
cords and archives, the palaces of the &lauds, Rot.
nowan, Ghika, Palladi, Kallimachi, almost all the
warehouses, fifteen Churches, including the Me:I.NT.
titan Church and the Catholic Convent, have fallen a
prey to the raging element. The damage is hoyor.d
calculation. The flames spread with the rapidity r f
lightning, particularly to the principal street leading to
the Hospodar's Palace; and as the sums et this city
are not paved with stones, but covered with plank<,
which immediately caught fire, many who had lingered
to save their property were cut off from all means of
flight. Up to this moment above 50 dead bodies hare
been dug out of the ruins. The Prince himself had but
just time to escape with his family by a back door. Ten
Catholic Missionaries escaped by climbing over a high
wall, and are now in the building containing the offices
of the Austrian Agent, but deprived of all their effrett.
Above 10,000 persons have no roof to shelter them,
and wander about in despair. It was only by errant&
nary exertions that the residence of the Austrm
Agent, and that of the Cancelliere, which is one
at hand, were saved, for they were in imminent d.n.
ger, a sudden gust of wind having caused large pieces
of burning timber to lodge on the roofs of both
houses. Dreadful bryinsd description, especially when
oifiht set in, was the appearance of an extent cf
tsso miles all in flames. To all these horrors wag addtd
the circumstance that it was necessary to release all the
malefactors who were in prison, as tie dungeon Tom
nitza in which they were confined alas caught fi.e.—
These wretches, united with other evil minded person',
threatened to pill.tge the -I...twining part of the city;
only the most active exert; ns of the magistrates and
the inhabitari•s, among whom the Austrian subjects
distinguished themselves, could keep the wietctn
in check, and prevent additional mirfor tones. Wliats
frightful prospect presented itself the following mon
when the sun appearing as red as blood, rose on tie
ruins of chi% unha, py city ; and in places which were
yesterday the abode of wealth and luxury, we saw on'y
unfortunate wretches wringing in despair amid this sou
of desolation, or endeavouring to extricate from the
rubbish the burnt bodies of their relatives. At this
moment when I close this letter, a part of the city is
again in flames. The storm still rages with unabated
;ury. OMNIPOTENCE alone can save us from nor
destruction."

Conceit and confidence are both of them cheats; tie
first always imposes on itself, the second frequently
deceives others too.—Zirnmerman.

occasionally lent their gratuitous aid, in representing
characters in which they are always ripturously received
at Cheltenham. They have likewise patronised the

" Bespeaks." In addition to these auxiliaries, "the

',WADY DUTY.—In reply to a memorial from Dr.
Wmto to the Commissioners of the Treasury, the followiss tae

munication has been received I have laid' efore the Coals*
stoners of his Majesty's Treuury your memorial, praying that*
duty on charitable bequests may be discontinued ; and
meted by my Lords to acquaint you, that they do not OW
would be expedient to propose to Parliament that charitable*
quests should be exempted from legacy duty.r—Mandesier Gal ,
DuNDRB.—A more unanimous or respectable se
cation never went from Forfarshire than that which is about it b
made by the inhabitants of the Western district of it, comprebs
ins Dundee and the seven surrounding parishes, for the appoinnet%
of a Sheriff.SubstitOte, to reside and hold courts in Dundee, NO
benefit of that populous district. The only giound of the applio'
lion is the distance from Dundee at which the Sheriff Court i"
present held—giving rise to expensive, protracted, and vetatim
delays, in civil as well as criminal canoes.
THE NATIONAL VACCINE I NSTITCTION.—The
report of this Institution' is 'addressed to the Se
cretary of State fol. the Home Department, and is sir
ed by Sir Henry Halford. President of the Royal Cr,
lege of Physicians, by Mr. Abernethy, and Sir Asti!
Caper, the President and Vice President of the
College of Surgeons. It state that from the quadr,!
of vaccine lymph distributed since the last report, 'll4
from the accounts of correspondents, they are led 15
presume that the practice is becoming daily more ft'
neral ; and this inference is still farther confirmed"
the fact, that within the last twelve months only 51,
deaths have occurred from small pox within the bill'
mortality, whereas in the preceding year 1299 per°
fell victims to that loathsome diseast. When it is
membered that before the introduction of vaceinaiiici
the average number of deaths from smallpox, 71"
the bills of mortality, was annually 4000, no wog
argument can be demanded in favour of tl.e Yalu'
this important discovery.
