When I was in Hampshire, some time ago," he observed, I was entertained at Mr. Cobbett whom I thought a clever writer, and a firm friend ro freedSTl have since had ample ground to change 1 opin ton of him and his principles. I would rather not hold any more intercourse with him but I was hospitably received by him, dined at his board, and drank his wine.

Is it right for me to -refrain from noticing him, or to refuse him the hospitable reception which, as a man, he gave me, should he call upon me here And should he not call, being in my neighbourhood, ought I not to lender him my hospitality I said I thought it was a per-rilexing question to answer. He finally determined as he express it, to do as he ought and I believe he sent an invitation to Coventry, which Cobbett declined, and which relieved Parr from his dilemma. New Monthly the Freischutz. It generally happens that an author does not profit by his best work. He makes his fame from his best work, and his money of inferior productions, which sell well from the reputation of the first.

This is Weber's case. The Freischutz was his first successful work and the Freischutz he made over to a creditor, in discharge of an inconsiderable debt. This circumstance renders the popularity of the Freischutz far from acceptable to him, as it galls him to think that the cormorant of a creditor has enjoyed the fruits of his happiest labour. Every admired note that he hears ot the music reminds him of his bad bargain and all the praise bestowed on it awakens angry regrets for the still sweeter profits. It is certainly unpleasant for a man who has sold a property at a thousandth part of its price, to hear the merit of it incessantly extolled and exaggerated London Magazine.

On Sunday last the Rev. J. Jones preached an excellent sermon at St. Andrew's Church, and advocated the sacred cause of charity in behalf of the distressed poor bur neighbourhood. We are gratified in stating that the collection on this occasion amounted to 100 10s.

The sum of 120 was also collected at St. Philip Church, for the same benevolent purpose, after an eloquent appeal by the Rev. T. S. Bowstead.

We trust that every place of public worship will follow this humane example and we also venture to suggest to the presidents of the several tradesmen's societies, or the master workmen, that a hint from them to tne members and workmen would, in all probability, be met by a subscription, which, though individually of but small amount, would, in the aggregate, amount to a considerable sum. The comparative comfort of the poor weavers. The amount of duty paid to Government by five of the principal calico-printers in Lancashire, for the six weeks ending the 25th of April, 1825, was 19,355 and for the same period in 1826, 12,096, making a deficiency oi 7,259.

Canton, Jan. 1, 1826 Betwixt the hours of four and five A. M. of the 24th Dec. while asleep in my cot, I was suddenly roused by the cry of Fire in the gun-room and, leaping out, I rushed towards the steerage, where I found the chief, and third, and sixth officers, attempting to force open the grating of the gun-room scuttle, which was locked, and covered with a tarpawling.

If even there had been a charge of felony before the defendant and the plaintiff bad refused to give evidence on that charge, a magistrate had no authority to commit.

The only course that could be taken would be, to prefer an indictment against the plaintiff for obstructing the nmtse of justice. Mr. Scarlett and Mr. Alderson appeared in support of the rule, and submitted that unless this Court would pro. tect magistrates in the discharge of their public duty, the ends of justice would be continually frustrated by persons refusing to giveevidence on charges brought before justices.

The Court were of opinion that it was not necessarj decide whether a magistrate had power to commit a part; who refused to give evidence on a charge of felony or misdemeanour. It was sufficient here to say, that it did not appear upon the warrant of the defendant, committing the plaintiff, that there was any person charged with any offence, against whom the plaintiff refused to give evi. dence; therefore the rule must be discharged iiaieJii. charged.

I.atelv. as three gentlemen were fishing in the river Al mond, a little above the Union Canal aqueduct, one of and the Crackling was heard distinctly and, the instant the tarpawling was removed, the smothered flame could be perceived below, through the smoke, which issued slowly in dense black volumes. The first impression led me. to them discovered, at the bottom oi a pool, about one toot in depth, a live toad, firmly attached, by its mouth and legs, to a dead trout. When discovered, he was seated astride on the trouts back, grasping or hugging his prey round the neck by his fore paws, while, at the same time, he had fast hold with his mouth at the back of the neck.

On being taken out of the water he still retained possession of his delicate repast until it was actually dragged from him by force and, when deprived of it, he made three or four determined efforts to regain the water. The fish did not seem much injured in tbe neck, and was about six inches in Iwiffth -Edinburgh Observer. hops the mischief would be partial; and, tnougn 1 imagined great damage might be done, the total destruction of our ship never crossed my mind. But it too soon forced itself upon me. The sudden, rapid, and awful progress of the flames, can scarcely be conceived, and is impossible to be described.

They burst forth like a mighty torrent, which gathers strength as.it rolls on, spreading desolation, mocking human power, and sweeping before it every re-sistance. In less than ten minutes from the first alarm we were driven from the steerage and the poop and the whole of the afterpart of the ship was in a blaze. Naked as we were we flew upon deck. The whole of the ship company had previously been roused and every man was at his post, exerting every energy to repel the. fury of the devouring element.

So rapid were Hs ravages that, even at this period, we had received no assistance ftuvalthough the alarm-bell was rung, and the boats of the Scaleby fnctlo and other shios had out off with the greatest and A beautiful and singular phenomenon, at this period of tne year, was ooserveu at nuinuguaiu 4 1 ahnnt tpn nVlnck. while thej moon was shining in her oreinMt snlenrinnr. arid the skv exhibited a mottled and bf the mechanics in Liverpool renaers it a numane umy aid their less fortunate fellow-countrymen and the appeal would, we feel assured, not be made in vain. It has been suggested to us, that should the distress continue, it would he prudent to have boxes in several parts of the town, into which the working classes, who would not think of carrying their small donations to a bank, might put their mites. A meeting, to collect subscriptions for the above purpose, was held atPrescot, yesterday se'nnight and, on the following day, 150 was collected.

We find it noticed in the Courier, that there are now two reservoirs on the north and south sides of St. George's Church, which, in the event of a fire in that neighbourhood, are sufficiently large to afford an abundant supply of water to extinguish any one fire. The water is collected from the roof of the church. This is a judicious arrangement, and' the example might, we think, be followed with advantage in other parts of the town. An immediate Supply of water on such occasions would generally avert much destruction of property and where there are no public buildings that could be made available for this purpose, there are warehouses in almost every direction, the water from the roofs of which is now entirely lost.

No thunder was heard, andno rain fell but the flashes, notwithstanding the rlear liirht shed upon the scene by the moon, were most praiseworthy promptitude, they were unable to get alongside, and the flames were rushing up the after hatchway, and had burnt through the mizen stays. The interval of time which elapsed, just before their arrival, was the most awful of the whole trying scene.

Worsley, in his account of the Isle of Wight, page 163, says, that, during the Captainship of ings, bad cut our boats adrift, so that we saw them.floating slowly down with the tide, leaving us almost without hope of escape or succour, and with the prospect before us of a speedy and terrible destruction. This was an awful moment; it seemed an eternity of time. I cannot describe the feelings of others; indeed, I can scarcely recal my own, but can recollect my tongue felt dry, and rattled in my mouth, that I could scarcely articulate, as I tned.to encourage the men around me, and that I drank greedily from the fire-bucket, as I handed it along.

Yet, even in this moment of despair, no man shrunk from the hopeless labour in which he was engaged, but continued to struggle boldly with the resistless element. It was not yet fifteen minutes since the first alarm, and the boats of the Scaleby Castle, and other ships above lis, in the reach, now got alongside those from below having to row against a Strong tide arrived at a later period but all of them did what-ever could have been expected from the unconquerable bravery of British seamen.
