It is understood that a large number of the

gether with the Artillery of this town, will
voluntarily assemble here on the day succeed
ing the. Cattle Show---when they will proba.
bly, be reviewed by his Excellency the Gov
ernor. We have large number of compa-
MES exceedingly well dressed, equipped and
disciplined, and it is desirable that sufficient
number should assemble to make the parade
respectable, and to maintain the Military
Character of the Division. Should all the
Light companies turn out, the exhibition will
be most creditable both to officers and men,
and such as has been rarely excelled or equal
led in this Commonwealth.
There will it is said be present on this oc-
casion, number Of distinguished military and
naval officers, to witness the appearance and
discipline of the troops, and it Is believed they
will not be disappointed in any favourable ex-
pectations they may entertain. So far as in
formation has been received the companies
have uniformly voted TO be present on the &C.
casion, and will no doubt exert themselves to
make the performances of the day both inter-
esting and honorable.

THE BOOK-AGAIN.

We are gratiied to perceive an almost uni
versal expression of sentiment in coincidence
with the remarks in our last relative to this
work. The Introduction TO it bears strong in
ternal evidence of emanating from the same
person who has once been SO disastrously dis
com6tted in his attack on the fair fame Of
J. Q. ADAMS. That his perturbured spirit
should seek out some mode of revenge for his
ruined reputation is not wonderful. But we
venture to predict that this attempt will prove
like the former one, and will recoi with re.
doubled force on the heads both of the princi-
pal and the abetters in this disgraceful trans
action.

MISCELLANEOUS EXTRACTS FROM ENGLISH
r PAPERS. --

A M1sER.-Lately died, at Gosberton.
Lincolnshire, Mr., Crosby it is suppos-
ed that he has left behind him more than
&c, coo pounds; and yet in his life he
would hardly allow himself common ne
cessaries. 1t was his delight to have his
apparel always of the meanest kind; a
hat at the price of Is Cd was an extrav-
aganoe. 1t is said that many persons who
know him, have given him aims on ac-
count OF his appearance-Neither of the
Eleweses, nor even Dancer himself.
could be more squalid, or more penuri-
Gus in a general way; and yet this man
kept good table as far as beef and ba-
con went, and was always accessible to
any poor man that might call at bis
house; rich, and what was called 's6ne
men," he detested.
SINGULAR REsEMBLANcE.-Tayo Dromios
John Anbrosius Bach, German COM
poser, and father of the celebrated mu-
sician, John Sebastina Bach, had broth
Ier named John Christopher, also mu-
stefan, who SO exceedingly resembled
him, that even their own wives could
only distinguish one from the other by
the difference of dress The brothers
tenderly loved each other; their voices,
dispositions, tastes, dislikes, even the
style oftheir music were similar. If one
sickened, the other also became i'll and
they died within short time of each
other.
A gentleman at Kircaldy has two mice,
which can earn Sd. per diem by spinning
cotton; and he is training others to the
same service. If the mouse who is a
complete cotton spinner, could be brought
to communicate the art to the unskilled
mouse, community of these creatures
would perhaps, in time, be considered
as valuable as hive of bees.
Young Members Of ParIiamen.-Hen-
ry Lord Falkland being brought early
into the House of Commons, grave sem
ator objected to his youth, and said, i" he
looked as if he had not sown his ociId
oats" The young lord replied with
great quickness, "then l am come 10

operators in this imposture might have
exposed it, and ruined all the hopes of
this aspiring man, and destroyed the
very foundations of this monstrous build
ing, had not he soon sacrificed them to
his impious ambition; in order to have
no witness of his Internal plot, he had all
those who we're confdants in bis pro-
iects, cruelty massacred. Thus free
from any inquietudes on that head, he
gave full play 10 every kind of excess.
His power daily increased; he employ
ed arms, eloquence, and artifice. for the
purpose Of extending his empire and he
carried his imposition so far as to pre-
tend that an angel dictated to him the
oracles of the all powerful under the
semblance of "a dove, he having bird OF
this kind generally upon his shoulder
The epilepsy to which he was subject
contributed to increase the belief in his
pretended mission. He easily persuad.
ed creduleus and ignorant people
struck, as it were, with astonishmen
and admiration;at the pretended prodi
gies which he wrought before their eye:
that, at the sight of the angel Gabriel
he fell into ecstacies which occasionet
those commissions; while in truth, they
proceeded from the disease. This in
genious deception was itself productive
of the most of his disciples; and ht
carried it on to the very last. Perceiv
ing his end approaching, he dictated thu
last chapter of the Alcoran as though HI
were inspired by God, and when abou
dying, he said she was going to repose
in the arms of the Eternal"
1.-THE dogmas of religion which Ma
homet established, gave him an absolute
power over the people, and had they
not rendered to him blind obedience
they would have considered themselve
guilty of a heavy crime. The profoun'
ignorance in which he kept them, con
tributed much to make them subservien
to his wishes. Hence arose that ar
bitrary and despotic power which ha
produced to Mahomet and bis successors
the riches, the lives, and the honor o
their subjects, or rather their slaves
springing merely from the will or ca
price of the sovereign. The people
entirely given up to the pleasures o
the senses. and plunged in voluptuous
ness, have no other delight than in thes,
enervating qualifications; even deatt
ilselfis not painful to contemplate, since
they anticipate the possession of celes
tial beauties hereafter, if they are ODE
dent to- the laws of their legislator
This Aattering expectation, united witt
firm belief in predestination, gives t.
them a degree of boldness, which nc
other nation possesses. They are al
most mconquerable.. Every thing tend
ed to favor the imposition, and Mahome
neglected no means to secure belle
10 his doctrines, and TO render his power
unlimited"

TIE GREEKs.-Great interest appears
to have been excited in Euro,e as to.
the Greeks. Accounts had beer receiv-
ed from Mytelene of the 2lst June.
and from Corfu of the 9Th July, which
state that the troops landed by the Cap
tain Pacha at Carlisle and Patras, had
been completely routed by the Greeks
Odyessus, on hearing Of the landing of
the Turks at the latter place, descend
ed the pass of Thermopylae With un-
conquerable resolution, although he had
only $500 men at the commencement
OF the conflict, whilst Mahomet attacked
him with 5000 Europeans, and 1000
Asiatlc infantry, besides 5000 cavalry.
The Greeks lost upwards of 700 men :;
but after four hours constant fighting,
numerous reinforcemeEts arrived and
the Turks experienced a total defeat.
Part of them threw themselves into the
Castle of Zertoudi, which was taken bv
storm; and another caWtulated in the
town of eDemago Mean while the CORPS
which had advanced from Carystos was
also repulsed. There remained. there
fore only the corps of the Pacha of Sou
tart to combat, and it was considered
highly probable that this campaign would
terminate ANONYMOUSLY for the Turks.
The Porte is said to have at last

In consequence of the offer of premium
Tor potatoes from the seed, several specimens
OF good promise were exhibited at the Cattle

had them have had an opportunity of trying

those commonly cultivated, of again producing
samples OF them at the approaching Cattle

The United States schooner Beagle.
Newton, from Thompson7s Island, has
arrived in Hampton Roads, bound to
Washington, and brings disastrous intel
ligence from that place. The yellow
fever broke ont there the goth Of Au-
gust, and ir short time, forty cases Of
it appeared,-Lieut. SomervilIe, Mid
shipraan Marshall and Reed, Carpenter
Grice, and Mr.. Thomas, clerk OF the
John Adams. had died of it.
The John Adams had arrived with
two or three cases of the yellow fever
on board. Commodore Porter we re-
greet to learn, has been much indisposed.
when the Beagle left; the physicians en-
tertained hopes of bis speedy restoration
to health. The Beagle sailed from
Thompson's Island on the Isl inst. and
left there the John Adams, the Peacock,
the Sea Gull, the Greyhound, the Fox,
and Jackall. The Spark was cruising
on the south side of Cuba. The sloop
of war Hornet, had run down for Vera
Cruz. All the schooners at the Island
were fitting out for an excursion on the
Spanish Maine.

A gang of rogues, from Boston. have re-
Gently made their appearance in this County,
for the purpose of attending the musters. We
adFerted to the fact last week, and are now
able TO ada, that they have beea frustrated in
their plans chiefly through the vigilance and
activity of the citizens of Leicester. Noble
Lynnfield and Charles Ripley have been fully
committed by E. d. Bangs, Esq. to take their
trial at the Supreme Judicial Court, to be
holden in Thu town next week, for stealing a
pocket book, The property of Mr.. Benjamin
Howard. Henry Mace was committed by the
same for passing counterfeit money. James
W. Collins and Darrell Verder were sentenced
to the House of Correction, for thirty days, for
= using subtil craft and unlawful games"
Ephrailn Lynn6eld, and - Cliff, were
committed by Magistrate in Leicester, for
passing counterfeit money and we under
stand that two more of the company have
been committed to Providence Gaol for the
same offence.
We were misinformed respecting the taking
of pocket books and watches at Leicester.
No such loss was sustained.
Collins, who is the reputed leader Of the
sang, escaped from the House of Correction
yesterday morning, and is now at large.

A SINGULAR FACr.-The National Intel,;.
Sencer, which has heretofore been considered
the official paper of the Government, never
announced the appointment of Judge South
ard to the Office of Secretary of the Navy till
the day after he assumed the duties of the Of
flee. And, even after his arrival in the Civ
the Editors expressed their ignorance of his
appointment. This affords strong evidence to
our minds, that the Editors of that paper have
forfeited the confidence of the President, by
advocating the cause of one, whose deadly
hostility to his administration is we'll known.

The Editor of the New England Galaxy has
chosen to misrepresent our remarks relative to
" The Book" for the purpose of affording him
an opportunity to repeat a stale story. We
gave no opinion of the merits of the work. but
conhned ourselves exclusively to the manner
IN which it was brought before the public.
We advise him in future to leave such pitiful
tricks to Major Noah. He seems at home in
the business, and does it with an infinitely bet
