offensive. that. at a large Fair, recently held in that
country, a bank, or banks, actually adeerand, that
Inspectors would be appointed by them to attend the
Fair; and requesting all parsons at the fair, and taking
money there, first to submit it to the inspector to see whe-
ther it were genuine!!! This reallyserp all the mol-
-1 drone things that this monstrous. this hell-born system,
has ever yet brought forth.—Yoh ! You Scotch Fools
Demand the King's coin, awl tell the Banks to employ
their i nspecters to rub them with brimstone, i f the Bi shop
and the Soldier have any to spare. But stop, we for-
get, the Scotch cannot demand gold till theflret of next
May. Thes they may legally demand the gold, and
will stand no longer in need of inspectors. This is a
pretty pass to come to indeed ! This is Mr. Ricasno's
" improved currency"! This is Sir JOHN SiNct.Alit'S
"seonderfulmoderninoestion." Mosey inspectors, sent
to fairs to see that the farmers do not cheat one another.
What wretches the people must be that voluntarily take
these despicable rags, libellously called money !—How-
ever, this necessity of sending inspectors is a very fine
thing. It will hasten the total disappearance of the is-
famous paper; and sill also hasten the fall of prices to
their proper mark, and bring os suddenly a total cessa-
tion of rents, until the tythes and taxes be reduced.

Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, his Royal
Highness the Doke of Cambridge left the King's Palace
at Pimlico, in his travelling carriage and four, on. a
visit to his Majesty, at his Cottage at Windsor.
On Monday forenoon, his Royal Highnessitbe Duke of
Sussex left the missies of Colonel Wildman, of New.
stead-abbey, on a visit to Lady Douglas, at Rippingale,
near Bourn, Lincolnshire. On his Royal Highness's ar-
rival at the Chesterfield Arms Inn, at Hingham, about 2
o'clock, where he stopped about a quarter of an hour to
change horses, Sic., he was most enthusiastically cheered
by a great many of the inhabitants of that town, who
had assembled for the purpose, the bells at the same time
ringing a merry peal. His Royal Highness appeared
much pleased er the reception he met with, which he
evinced by bowing arid shaking heads with some loth-
elites's; red when the carriage drove off he was again
I saluted with loud cheers as before. and shooting of the
I bells, which he again condescendingly acknowledged by
repeated bows and smiles.--(Nottingliens Review.)
The widow of the late Marquess of Londonderry is
said to be residing at Boldrewood-lodge, in the New
Forest.—(Bontisnipton County Won.)
German papers which have meetly arrived cootain
an extract from the Allgenseine *Zeitung, supplying
similar information from private letters to that which
we have given in another part of our paper, from the
Coluttiisetiowtet The Anetrion Observers of the latest
date are altogether silent on the subject of the Greeks
and Turks.
Intelligence from Rome of the 27th ult. states, that the I
health of the Pope is considerably improved. By the
same channel it appears. that Madame Letitia Buona-
parte, who has been a • long time in bed 'Ahealth, is at the
last extremity. She bail received tie last sacrament.—
Her son Louis, who intended to base remained at Flo-
rence daring the fine weather, had bees tailed back in

A French vessel has arrived fro Pernambuco, which
place she left about the 18th up to which date
she brings letters. They men o that the Portuguese
expedition had arrived at Bahia, this information having
been brought to Pernambuco by the Pheasant, British
armed vessel, which left Bahia on the 10th. When the
Pheasant came away, the sato feet of Lisboa and
Bahia were off the lithour, near the Rio Janeiro expe-
dition. where they had been carrying on negotiations
far two days, the result of which was not known. The
following is a comparative statement of the Portuguese
and Brasilian forces off Bahia:—.
POSTUSUM.—Two corvettes, a brig of war, four
large merchant-men armed, all belonging to Bahia.
Just arrived from Lisbon, a frigate, the Calypso, and
four transports, two of which are strongly armed.
BRASILMNII.—The frigate Union, two corvettes, and
a brig of war, chiefly manned by Portuguese sailors.
The following paragraph is from the Courier :—" The
Quarter's Revenue, we have the pleasure to learn, is ex-
pected to be a very satisfactory one. The surplus on
the Consolidated Fond in the corresponding quarter,
was above 1,600,000/. Bet during the last Session the
duties were reduced on malt, salt, and hides, notwith-
standing which, however. there is every reason to believe
that the official statement will prove of a highly gratify.
ing nature."
Civic COURTZIM—The following instance of refined
elegance of manners, shows how profusely the nand of
a great worshipful genilemas is adorned by the fascinat-
ing graces of politeness:—Sir. John Williams, 51. P. for
Lincoln, who is truly a representative of the people,
lately paid his constituents a visit. A great civic feast
comes or., to which the public, as matter of worse, ex-
pected that be would be invited. The invitation, how-
ever. seemed to have been delayed, when a member of
the corporation suggested the propriety of it to his won
ship—' Noa, nos, we weant ha nought to do wee him, he
doesceot belong to er kidney,' was the elegant anti cour-
teous reply. Would not the analysis of •ar kidney
form a curious speculation for some of our ingenious
readers ?—(drokford News.)
The Independent Electors of IVestaninster, intend to
meet on the day of the funeral of the late Mr. Samuel
i Brooks, and accompany the body from Hyde Park to
the Savoy Church in the Strati& when his remains
will be interred in the family vault.
According to the statistical account in 1921, Rome

113 before Christ) and registered 28th of Mesori
following (12th September), has been brought to Eu.
rope by a traveller named Casati, and purchased for the
Royal Library of France. It is at ard to be the most an-
cient Greek 515. in existence : a similar deed of the year

brought from Egypt several other interesting specimens
of Greek and Egyptian writings on papyrus.—(Kdie.

Weybill, Thursday, 10th 0.. 1522.

Sta-1 have great pleasure in writing to you tram
the country. I have before declared my intention ef
taking you regularly to school, before the winter Ci 2:.
paign shall begin. I have made a sally into the rosette
for as purpose of collecting information flr your it-
structine ; and I desire these little letters to be regsr6ed
as a sort of stepping stones to those more e;auorate
lessons which are to come bye and bye.--1•ou are
pleased in your speech at Liverpool, to recommend to
the Landlords and Farmers the use of that quality,
which Job was so famous. How much of this quiii.tr
they will require any one acquainted with their WWI
will be able to judge from what I am now going to slaty.
Yesterday was the day of the sheep fair at Applescse,
which is the great mart for the fine ewes from Dorset-
shire and Somersetshire. Your colleague, Lord Elias,
can tell you, that, during the time that the greater
part of the Debt and "Dead-height" were cos.
treated, these ewes used to sell, from about fwly
to meaty shillings a piece. They cold yesterday
from about sixteen to twenty-seven shillings 'Tito;
and some so low as twelve shillings and sixpence. (less
ewes are all with lamb, and .will bring their lambs be-
tween the first of November. About one-third of them,
or two-fifths, bring two lambs escb. They are large
sheep, and they produce the lambs that are fit to 111:1
early in the spring. —To day is the Fair for South-Dove
sheep on this hill. I have not time to give you a good
account of the whole; but 1 saw some vary fine ewes
with lamb, sold for twelve shillings apiece; and I saw
some lambs, that is to say, young sheep about aloe
months old, sold for five shillings! The former sold,
while the Debt was contracting, for aboutfirty shilliop
slime, and the latter for from twenty five to thirq•ihree
shillings a-pied.-11 you could see the owners of the
hundred thousand sheep upon this bill this day, yoa
would, I am certain, feel no disposition to jest. Pro-
bably two or three hundred men see, in the state of iitji
fair, the certain sign of their speedy ruin.—lpalssee
known, Sir, how to carry on the system with a WI pone.
We shall now see whether you know bow to carry it os
with an empty one.

Your most obellient bumble serv.nt,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN.

Stn.—Raving seen in the Oki Times • set of resolatioot.
ice. purporting to come from a company, meeting at the
Red Lion public-hease, in Windmill-street, who love tare
upon themselves the office of determining the subjects MU
which a public writer should all his publication, and insisted
on the necessity of aaswerieg every impertinent sundae
that may, by letter, be sent to him; and as these people
are described to have been the friends of Mr. gobbet.,
have been induced to enquire whether tech Resole-
tions bad been passed, and I find that the Old Timm had
been put in posse...sista of these matters by the parties
themselves. Now, Mr. Editor, I have a geestion Is ask
respecting this business, and I ass led to demi fele
feelings of regard for the safety of the parties the*
selves. I find that a set of respectable looking sod sin
ply tradesmen meet at the Red Lion, and liberalle die
cuss politics, and pehlicly read the popular political
publications of the day. This being the fact, I male
heg to a.k is there not some danger in tbc practice/ laths
first !shoe, bow comes it to pass that a paidicen, when
house is kept open, at the discretion of the Magistrate,,
and whose bread is dependant on their ea. is allowed te
bold his license while such matters are going en in his
house? Ido not ask this question from ade ire to see
the people prevented from discussing political mattes
freely; but I would wish the discussion to be earned on
safely.
Having in my recollection 'hearts that were practised by
the infamous Castles, and that pair of bloofhthirsty me-
creantsOliver and Ed wards,to inveigle and entrap,step by
step, those weak-minded men, that have furnished sub-
jects for two public executions with the last of your fran,
and to answer purposes which I will not here describe.
but which were well known to the parties that em-
ployed them. Is there not reason to fear, that some
such villains may be at work again, to endeavour to foes
a little covey that can, at any time, be pounced amar
How is it, that imam landlords, licensed victua:lers I
mean, dare not take la any of the popular publicalivas of
the day? Several houses, I believe, have lost their haw',
for having bad Reformers meeting in them ; namely, the
White Lion, Turnmill-street, the Black Lion, Wych•
street, and the Spotted Dag, Clement's-lane. I hsr,
the Red Lien, in Windmill-street, is not one of Mr.
Canning's Red Lions, to answer some particular siaista
purpose. I am, Sir, your's, J. W.
