The House which lately stopped at Manchester, has failed, it is said, for half a million, and has involved many respectable connections in this extensive calamity. According to a very curious calculation it has been ascertained, that an acre of land planted with potatoes will produce suftcient food for 16,875 healthy men for one meal, while an acre of 'wheat will not feed more than 274.5. The expence of cultivating the potatoes is estimated at Is. and that of the wheat at 1 15s. The amazing number of 500 potatoes, the produce of a single one, were last week dug up at the Duke of Richmond's at Goodwood.

All the reports which have appeared respect-in" the probability of another pedestrian performance with Wood orCapt. Barclay, are unfounded. An old man, of the name of Devis, 97 years of ue made a start at Bracknel, Bucks, on Monday last, to gd four miles and a half within an hour, for a bet made between two gentlemen to some amount. When the match was made on Thursday last, Mr. Jennings, the gentleman who was to find the man, was bound down not to give more than 24- hours notice to the pedes-, triati; The old man beat the odds in very good and performed his journey in 3 minutes thiiti the -mven time.

7s. The progress of agriculture at King's be.said to keep pace with the most flattering expectation that could be formed. Tuesday morning, the venerable, pious, and learned Dr. Markham, Archbishop of York, paid the debt of nature, in the 90th year of his age. The event has long been expected.

His Grace'borc his sufferings with the Utmost resignation, and breathed his last breath with the most pious hope that a moral and religious life could have inspired into a mind devoted, as his was, to the duty of a Christian Preceptor. The Archbishop of York was translated to the Ar-chiepiscopal See of York, in 1 the demise of Dr. Robert Diummond. His Grace before his translation, was chosen, by his Majesty preceptor to his Royal Highness the Prince ot Wales, for whom he preserved the most dutiful and affectionate attachment to theclose ofhis existence. His Grace has left several sons, one of whom is a ear-Admiral in the British Fleet, and another Chancellor of the Diocese of York.

The preferment to the vacant Archbishopric of York is supposed to lie between Dr. Stuart, the Primate of Ireland, and Dr. Vernon, Bishop of Carlisle. Archbishop Markham, who was always a prudent man, has died rich. He is said to have bequeathed property to the amount cf.more than 100,000.

Early in his professional career, a certain great character distinguished himself on the Home Circuit by a speech replete with wit and eloquence, and many of his friends at the Bar were bo much impressed with the idea, that his talents, such as he then had displayed, must eventually lead him to the first eminence in his profession, that many of them offered bets that he would eventually obtain it, and he actually received from some of them two. guineas each, giving to them notes of hand for the repayment to them of 200 guineas each, on his being made Chief Justice, or' Lord Chaneellor. Amongst others Mr. P-, the Barrister, received one of these and, on his Lordships being appointed Chancellor, it was presented to him. for payment.

is come to engage this Government in a new plan for the restoration of the Bourbons to the Throne of France, are of pinion, that his object is to consult our Government about the propriety of abdicating his claims to the Throne of France, and accepting of some indemnification, which, it is. uot altogether improbable, the present ruler of that couutry may have proposed to him, through the medium of the Emperor of Russia. It continues to be asserted that the head of the House of Bourbon avows the object of his visit to this country to be political and in very high circles the following statement is given of the secret motives ot itis journey. It is said, that after the treaty of Tilsit, a message was sent to the Comte dc Li'lle from the Emperor Alexander, acquainting him that the Emperor was convinced, that the establishment ofpeace was necessary to the world; and that now using convinced of the amicable dispositions of the Emperor of the whom he had contracted relations of amity, it was his determination to offer to mediate between the Courts of Gieat Britain and France. He had reason to believe, that there was no insuperable obstacle to the restoration of peace.

And therefore he thought it incumbent upon him to assure the hat if he should, succeed in his mediation, it would not, and should not. in the slightest degree affect his Highness in the asylum which he had taken atMit-tau, but on the contrary his sacred person should be inviolate, and even his interests should not be This intimation was the cause of the vovageof the Comte. first to Sweden, and afterwards to England- The prsfesscd object of his journey heme to prevent, if possible, a negotiation 'so fatal to hishopes.

The South American army, and the army returned from the. Baltic, with the increased numbers of the German legion, make a force of about 26,000 men. Added to' this, the volunteers from the Militia, now organised with the Line, and forming complete second battalions, we have a disposable army in the country, at.

He has since appeared in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and tmiformly informs his auditory, that the sums received are to be remitted to the benevolent and useful purpose of propagating the Christian Religion thro' unenlightened nations.

A dreadful circumstance took plare at Chesterfield, on Friday evening: Two French prisoners arrived there a few days back on their parole, and took up their abode at the Falcon Inn, where they remained during three day. Having procured lodgings, they returned totrieitm to discharge their bilC when one of them, a Colonel in the French army, and a Member of the Legion of Honour, discovered his strong box to have been opened by a false and his property, to the amount of a thousand pounds, besides plate, jewels, and other valuables to a further amount of 500. stolen.

On application- being made to the Commissary for French prisoners, a statement was transmitted to the Transport Board, and an immediate search set on foot. Having been delayed en his journey from the coast by indisposition, at Athenstoiie, in Warwickshire, the Agent employed in this affair naturally supposed the property imist havebeen purloined during his confinement at Ihe inn, where the Colonel and his- friend had been detained. It was suspected, from some circumstances, that the Colonel's supposed friend had committed the robbery. A search was mad, and a handkerchief, containing a pocketrbook with Frensh paper-money inclosed to the amount of 900. and several other articles, were found, which put the matter beyond all doubt.

The Agent, accompanied by the Landlord of the Inn, proceeded to Chesterfield, and, with the Magistrates, and Constables, lost no time in waiting on the suspected person, as soon as he recognized the Landlord of the inn, betrayed evident mark of guilt, by an immediate exclamation of You have business with me, I The Colonel being sent for, and having described the pockct-buok and its contents, it was produced and found to answer his description. During the examination, in which the prisoner mad? a full confession of his guilt, and informed the Celoncl where the rest of his property was to be found, he was observed to take a bottle from the mantle-piece, and repeatedly to drink of the liqu id it contained; healso attempted te seize a case knife within his reach, bnthe was prevented. I a short time the poison beginning to affect him, medical assistanc was immediately procured but every attempt to make him swallow, or pass any thing down his throat was found impossible, from his obstinacy and surprising strength. Between the pa-roxi-nv of remorse and pain he appeaisd calm and collected, and requested pen, ink, and paper, for the purp3se ofinaking his will, which having completed, he suddenly seized a knife which lay unobserved on the mantle-piece, and plunged it several inches in his left breast.

The untimely death, of Ca'pt. Serjeant, sufficiently afflicting of itself, is' rendered still more so by circumstances. He was the son of John Sarjeant, Esq. of Twickenham, one of the Auditors of Public Accounts. He went in the late unfortunate expedition to Holland, and, being wrecked in a storm, providentially escaped with his life, but it was only to be a prisoner in France.

A few weeks ago he landed in England, to the inexpressible joy of his friends. He was of a lively, open, and generous dispositioii and, from his ow'n good qualities, and the real worth of his nearest relations, his premature death excites the deepest regret.

He was 24 years of age. On Mon-'lav consequence of the above murder on the preceding day, a party of Dragoons proceeded from Chichester in search of the murderer: they arpiVed at the coppice where he had concealed hirrw self, which is nearPctworth, and some surrounded it, while others dismounted, and entered by every avenue. After a strict search they discovered him, and drove him out, without any frock, Iwt, or shoes on. -He then ran swiftly some distance but finding his pursuers to be close at his heeJs, he pn into a pond, when they immediately tired at him, and shot him dead. He was taken out of the pond, searched, and the watch of which he had robbed Mr.llliodes the day before, found on him.

landed with his suite from the Swedish frigate freya, at Yarmouth, under the title of Count de Lille, by which only he will be recognized during his stay in England. The Count came on shore in Adm. Douglas's barge, in the most private manner. On his landing, he was received by Admirals Douglas and Essington, Captain Curry, of the flag-ship, and Mr. Brooks, of the Alien Office, LorijJpn.

The party immediately assembled at the louse of Admiral Douglas's Secretary, which stood contiguous to the spot. Here the Count had his first interview with Monsieur (the Count d'Artois). The scene was truly interesting nsd affecting. The carriages of Admirals Douglas und Essington were shortly ready to convey the Count and his suite to the house of Admiral Douglas to breakfast, where thejillustrious uests received a hearty welcome, and were treated with that true English hospitality, so congenial to the feelings und heart of a British seaman. The party were joined at breakfast by Admiral Rus-sell, Sir S.

Hood, and several Captains. The Count seemed highly gratified at finding himself surrounded by so many brave men. To Admiral Douglas and his family, he more than once expressed his gratitude for the attentions and hospitality shewn to him. Whilst at break-; fast, the Count gave a striking proof of his gallantry presenting a rose to -Miss Douglas, he. made a happy simile between the sweetness and delicacy of the flower, and the corresponding accomplishments of the young Lad)'.

After breakfast he took his leave, and tet off from Yarmouth in his own carriage. Tuesday, about 3 o'clock Louis XVIII, arrived at the Great White Horse in this town from by Prince deConde.le Comte D'Artois, Due de Bourbon, Due de Gramraont, aDdsuite, and after changing horses, set off for Gosfield Park, in Essex, the seat of the Marquis of Buckingham. On their arrival at the Three Cups, of persons of all ranks had assembled at the Inn, to se the illustrious heir to the Crown of France the elegant large new room being thrown ojjen for the reception of the Royal' guests, it was permitted that their wishes might be fully gratified, and they were admitted into the room without the least restraint. The Royal fugitive, at bis. departure, expressed much satisfaction at the good wishes evidently impressed on the countenances of those whose curiosity had heea excited, to appear ia his presence.

He had twisted the note round the bottom ofhis stick, fastsned it with some thread, and covered it with a large clod of earth, As soon as he was stopped, he kicked the clod off his stick, and submitted to be searched. When hereceived permission to pursue his wav, he looked for his clod, found it, and reached his "destination.

To this stratagom the allies owed the interception of an important convoy with money and ammunition to the Prussian King; the loss of which Obliged him to raise the siege of Olmutz, and abandon. Bohemia. A company or firm is forming for the purpose of reducing the price-of fish in the metropolis; a fund is establishing, which, when completed, shops are to be opened in various parts of the town, and the fish, which will mostly be conveyed by land carriage will be retailed at a small profit. A company of Dublin merchants are now fitting out a privateer, of 20 guns, to be called the Whacker, aafl to be manned with of seamen, called the Bush and Sherry Iiois, equally eminent for their seamanship and intrepidity. A small privateer, fitted out from the same port in the last war, and manned by the same race of mariners, called the Callibogy, proved one of the most formidable annoyances- to the enemy's trade; she carried but fifteen guns and 0 men: and in a bloody engagement with the celebrated Paul Jones theCallibogy, under Harding, gallantly maintained the honour of her flag againstamuch superior force, and obliged the Pirate tf sheer off.

Happy effects have been produced by the late-considerable extensions of Inland Navigation in Ireland, as well on the markets of Dublin, as on the face of the country connected with those extensions. The turf trade alone, which was unknown a few years has made fuej cheap, and prevented those injurious fluctuations in the price of this prime necessary of life, which formerly occurred in that city at the same time that it has furnished bread to thousands of industrious peasants, and tended to drain and improve the country.
