By Donald mily, having liad children, six of whom arc now living. A letter from Berlin states that ureal alarm is created in that city by the great number of suicides and assassinations that have lately been committed there. Mrs Fitzherbert, the friend of the late king, has been slightly indisposed at Brighton.

A slip from Napoleon's willow, from bis tomb al St. Helena, was planted in the garden of Mo. 2, Lee-place, Kent, where it at present flourishes, and forms a very conspicuous ornament. By the general turnpike act, 3 Geo. 120, every blacksmith or other pe.son occupying a blacksmith's shop situate near a turnpike road, and having a window or windows fronting the said road, who shall not by good and closed shutters every evening after it becomes twilight, bar and prevent the light from such shop shining into or upon the said road, is lia-ble to a penalty of 40s.

over and above any damage occasioned thereby, which may be recovered before any justice of the peace where the oflencc is committed Letters'from different parts of Ireland speak of nrrangemcnts being contemplated to introduce bone manure, hiibei lo much neglected in that country, into use. Large supplies of bones, however, are now pouring in from abroad, and it is more than suspected that some of our continental neighbours scruple not to sell the bones of their buried ancestors" to the merchant. The monument of the late Charles Marjoribanks, M.P., erected by his political friends at Coldstream, has been completed by the statue being placed on the handsome column which had for sometime been finished. The statue is a capital likeness of the late member for Berwickshire, and, as a work of art, is highly creditable to the talents of Mr Ritchie, the sculptor. It appears from the lists just published by the Town Clerk of Berwick, that the number of burgesses entitled to vote in the election of councillors for this borough is 5SS, being 70 more than were entitled to vote last year.

Advices from Lisbon to the 20th ult. mention that the late Spanish Minister, Isturilz, had arrived there, having escaped from Madrid, and travelled as a Frenchman. He has since arrived in London. General Cordova, it appears, has with difficulty managed to make his escape into France. Sir Horace Townshend has been invested with the appointment of Deputy Governor of Windsor Castle.

An additional grant of 20,0001. has been made by parliament towards the erection of school houses in England, in aid of voluntary subscriptions. The Bath Conservative Association have resolved to support W. Ludlow Bruges, of Sceud, Recorder of Devizes, on the next vacancy in the representation of that city. Experiments of growing hops both in Wiltshire and Essex this year have succeeded so well, that an article hitherto unknown in those counties will probably become a staple commodity in each.

The most of the Paris papers appear warmly to oppose themselves to the new ministry, which evidently commences its labours amidst much unpopularity. A meeting of the county of York is intended to be shortly convened, for the purpose of originating a subscription for the erection of new churches; the Lord Lieutenant, it is expected, will preside. Mr Cook, the proprietor of the large circus at the foot of the Saltmarkct, Glasgow, has chartered the ship Roger Stewart, to transport his establishment to New York. This novel cargo, will consist of 35 splendid horses with the requisite provender, about 70 performers and their children, and 8 or 10 grooms There are said to be upwards of 20,000 English in Paris at present. A lawyer 111 New Y'ork once wrote "Rascal" in the hat of a brother lawyer, who, on discovering it, entered a complaint in open court against the trespasser, who, he said, had not only taken his hat, but had written his own name in it.

One oi the earliest newspapers in the southern part of the kingdom was printed by a man named Mogridge, who used to insert the intelligence from Yorkshire under the head Foreign News." Last week a huge and beautiful salmon was taken in tlie Forth. It was heavier by lOlbs. than any caught at the same fishery, weighing and measuring in length three feet ten inches and a half. Il was a fish of beautiful proportions, of excellent quality, and was sold at 10(1 a pound. Ayr Observer A woman residing in the neighbourhood of Preston Pain'ck, being a few days ago accused of having improperly taken some silver from a public house, delerminetl on puting an end to her existence by drowning herself in the canal passing her door from Lancaster to Kendal.

Dr. Buckland's Britliewatcr Treatise. The landlord of a public-house near Leicester-square, Lomlon, whose house is now one of the gin palaces li.is had bills primed in the same style with play-bills, ornamented at the lop with an engraving of the royal arms, and mt'tuled, "Theatre Royal." They slate that "the landlord is sole lessee that he is responsible for the management of this beautiful and establishment and thai he has procured an unrivulhd association of the must spirited characters, whose inspiring influence will be constantly at the command of a generous and enl'ghtcned public." It then states that, amongst the persona are included the following first-rate performers: Messrs Champagneo, Hurgundeo, Clareto, Sij-nors Oporio, Sherryauo, Matk-rio, assisted nv Brandy do Cognac, Madame Rumiuatiia, Mademoiselle Jenny Jarfcn; Moils.

The bill concludes with "orders arc C'luiis A dub existed forty years since at the Globe, called You should have been here before il consisted of an equal number of theatrical and literary petsons, originally hut lour, ultimately upwards of fifty. A new member was added every week; no ceremony was gone through of making the members, which is customary in other clubs, but the new coiner pattook of a splendid dinner, and when the party were about breaking up, and the bill called for, it was handed over to him, the president bidding him to pay it. I the straneer would generally exclaim; "why should 1 pay all To this was replied, You arc the hist among us you should have been here before." This was Ihe inauguration. Merry was, 1 believe, the last member his bill amounted to nearly 1001., and it was then agreed that the whole affair was rather too keen a joke, and Y'ou should have been here belore" was chanced into We'll never go there again."

The German love of titles is illustrated by the following article in the Handbook for Travellers The ladies are not behind in asserting their claims to honorary appellations. All over Germany a wile insists upon taking the title of her husband with a feminine termination. There is madamc general-ess, madame privy-councillor-es9, madame day-bookkeeper-ess, and a hundred others." Those titles sometimes extend to an almost unpronounceable length only think, for instance, of addressing a lady as Frau Oberconsislo-rialdirectorin Mrs Directress of the Upper Consistory Court). This may be avoided, however, by substituting the words gnadidge frau" (gracious madame), in addressing a lady. It must at the same time be observed, that this fondness for titles, and especially for the prefix von (of, equivalent to the French de, and originally denoting the possessor of an estate), is to a certain extent a vulgarity from which the upper classes of German society are free.

The rulers of Germany take advantage of the national vanity, and lay those upon whom they confer the rank under obligation, while they at the same time levy a tax upon the dignity proportionate to its elevation thus a mere hofrath pays from 30 to 40 dollars annually, and the higher dignities a more considerable sum. If, however, the title is acquired by merit, no tax is paid, but merely a contribution to a fund for the widows and children of the class. Certain forms and titles are also prefixed on the address of a letter thus a baron must be addressed Hoch-geborener Herr (high-born Sir) a count, a member of the higher noblesse, and a minister, even though not of noble bitth, is called lioch-wohlgeboren a merchant or roturier must content himself with being termed wobl- (well) gehorcn, while hoch-edcl (high noble) is ironically applied to tradesmen. It may be useful lo observe that should the traveller assist at any fete or reception given by one of royal blood, and not he prepared to appear in uniform, or in full court costume, black will be acorrect dress; blue coats with metal buttons, white waistcoats, nankeen trousers, Stc. will be quite incorrect black is admissible under the presumption that, the party is in mourning.

The Tame Otter. It soon learned to follow me, and having found its way into the parlour, il attracted my master's notice, who took great pleasure in feeding it, ami, finding il docile and playful, used to amuse himself at times with teaching it various little tricks. Among others, it occurred to him to teach it to fetch and carry any thing that might chance lo be at hand, which it soon became habituated to do with great dexterity and alacrity; it being always taught to bring the object it was sent for, and lay it down at the person's feet who ordered it. Among oilier articles, it occurred to me one day as I was coming from the noud with some fish that I had cau'iht BRAhntiaAftct? tttb tfcrth.iUtl, of Mi- Aldel'mao Donliiii, I hone, no further opposlilon wll! be. made to the site.

not aware that the so te nons a view of the subject; and do tl.lt.tc iluu the. Council hiiuid succumb lo the It, th I. -Ion-, they are anxious lor the site I shall certainly not opj.n-c their desire. Indeed, I i.evei- intruded to do so, but meant, simply n. throw out an idea as I thought it might be better placed.

I Mr It. On an inspctnf the plans and design, which 1 had never seen theT ini-etiii-, 1 have certainly come lo ihe same opioiuu with Mr Crawhall that the. most place lor the erection has i ot lixet on. Mr Donkin has said that variom opinions have li-en tuliell on the subject. now I think it luw; il the Council had Known what were the p.

outs wliioh were subiuittetl to these gen; Irmei, consideration. Mr lfoNKiK They went upon the ground and viewed it. Mr Could we not see the oiilnions, tbeu, which they gave Mr Donkin It was not a written opinion. It was cxpessed vei baliy lo the Committee. The Town Ci.kki; was not a legal opinion (laughter), Mr I r.c m.mf.ii I wish to know were left to the ehuire of the whole town, or whether two or three places were mentioned, on the comparative advantages which they wen: requeued to decide Mr Dun xi.N They were asked generally.

A few places were meiiiioi.ed, but they were requested to suggest any other that tney thought more eligible. Mr E. Luwkey I winh to ask If any other name for the street was taken Into consideration And whether Howlck-street ould not be more appropriate We recollect very well that Mr Grey was created Lord Howlck by his sovereign, and that Howlck is the name ot his patrimonial estate. In case the Committee should again take the matter iiUo consideration, would ii not be as well to leave to their option to call the street either Grey or Howlck Street Mr .1. 1 think it would be better to divide the question making the appropriation constitute one portion, and the name the other.

Mr A. Dawson I certainly agree with Mr Brandling that this Is nor. the most proper sittia'tiou, though I think mat the ti-iends of Lord Grey ought to have leave "to put the column there. If ihe street behind be not opened out, it will look ill, when looked upwards ut; and there are some very Inferior buildings un one side of to changing the name of the street, tnat I slittil certainly oppo-e, as I see no reason for it. it has been already named by an order nf the Common Council, and if the name lie now changed, another designation may be Riven to it next year.

If ihe name be changed at all, we all know that the King ban something to do with passing the re-torm bill, ami i would stigwst that it should be called William Steel. The Mayor It will lie lieitei-to decide upon the question of npproprlaiiuii first. Ilefore putting the qinvulni maybe permitted to sue, thai I do so with Ihe greatest pleasure, as it relates to a proposition to erect a public testimonial to a man iv bom all parlies will allow 10 have passi'tl through a long course ol public lite with unsullied honour, consistency, and political siralghi-lorwardness which have, never been exceeded. I say this, putting aside party leellugs altogether, with which Earl from his age, is very nearly done, apd looking only at his con-istent, upright, and honest public character (applause). The question was then put, -that Mr Grainger be authorized to convey to the Cninmitti-e, or to such pn'snns as they shall direct, a sollicient space nt ground in the street (it the bead ot Upper lieau sireet.

for the site of a column to he creeled in honour of Karl C.rey, In accordance with Mr plan, now before Ihe Council. The motion was carried without opposition. Mr then I org leave lo move that Ihe name ol the street be nlleie.l firey street mid I think there is Ihat sood leeling among ns, that wli.ilever our differences of poliliral opinion may he, we win all agree that by placing the column in this situation, we are justified in ask hi for this ehai-ge in the name ol the sheet. Mr DtuixiN 1 rise to ihe motion and with regard to the siiggesliou thrown out by Mr l.osvrey, I think there Is this objection. Ihat hero is in eNistence a nobleman who bears the title ol Howlcli, whle.li might e-ive rl.c some ambiguity If the street were niiined as Mr i.owrey suggests.

And as Earl llrey is ihe, title of tin; nub email whose name, we proiosi! to bestow upon the street, it. appears to nie that name Is Hie mnsinpprupriaiu one we could givo it. Mr s. I.mviitv-Slight it not he called Karl Grcv Street The question was then put and carried, that the street now (Silled Upper Dean Street, shall be In I'oliire eiilleo Grey Street, The Mayor then observed, tlnitMi' f.oiihleday had requested to l.eallowed to gtveaii explanation ot' a matter personal between another member or the Council and himself, liy the act, thi-y we.re prevented Ironi taking Into consideration, at a special meeting, any stiojer.t ihll'ei-eiit. from that for which the nii-eti.

was culled but. as ibis was a personal matter, and eoolri lead to no discus. Ion, perhaps the Council would alloiv Mr In proe.ieil. The Council hating assented, Mr rose and sniil I perceived by the papers next mnruiuv, Ihat air Itnlph asKcil me a question at the last, iiieetiug ol the Council, which I did not bear at the time, there being a good deal of noise, lie oiKpihed, Whether a message had been sent to Mr Burn, publican, in the Close, belore Hie lust eieetion. threatening him with the loss of our custom, if lie voted Iur Hodgson?" I need scarcely say that no such message was sent by myself, or by eith if mv partners, lieeaose in point of fact op to that time we did not "know how Mr Hum voted, or whether he bad a vote to give.

However, when 1 saw the question In I thought it better to go to Mr Burn personally, and ask him if any thing In nature of a threat, that there would be. a falling nt! in his custom from our manufactory, had been held out to him He staled that in piiiiit.off'act.rinsur.li thing had occurred; that scarcely a day lid-serl in which some or other of our men were not. hi his bouse ami that he had no idea of such a message having been sent. Tin; matter, I presume, must have arisen from a remark, of one of our iigenls, who told Mrs Burn, I believe, that, lie was offended at the vole. If.

gave, and ihat he was not inclined to eluer their house attain The meeting then broke up. Not having time, rortiiightagn, to write out. Ihe, entire discussion on Dimbledny's motion respecting the conduct, of the Cl-pol-allon ollic.era at the. late election, Mr'r-'eatherslon's question necessarily shared the fate of tin. remarks of several other members of the.

Council tin. ugh it is probable we should at any rati: have hesitated to print that question under the e.li-cum"-s.tance.-i, as we conceived Mr Doubietiay did not answer II. on account of the leeliug evinced by the Council that he ought, not to do so. We apprehend, however, that, in the, above explanation, Mr I) has not correctly slated Mr feaiherston's question, which we believe was it true that your foreman told Mr Burn, after In: bad voted for Hodgson, that no more allowance money should be issued to the men in your mtuiulactory to be spent, in his house MUITOIVI til PAEVO, The Marquis of Lansdowne jl. -i euitors oi ir -nt i AoU.1l, I- i INN 1 YO.I -1 in the County of Durham, Waiter, deceased 'Win' the Ollice of Mr Myers, Solicitor, in D.i.li,,,,;,,,, h.f, the 29th I sos-fi.

It is probable that if Marshal Soult, to whom it ha; been tendered, decline the War "(fice, it will be given either to Marshal Molitor, General Guillemmot, or General Dnde du la Brunerie.

Some of the journals mention a fourth candidate, in the person of Gen. the Ambassador at the British Court. The late Minister of the Interior, SSount dc Moutalivet, resumes his old station of Intendant-Gcneral of the Civil List, and Uaron J'ain, who held it nominally, becomes again first Secretary ot Louis Phillippe's private Cabinet, with a promotion in the Legion of Honour, in the way of compensation. Count d'Argout, the ex-Miniiter of Finances, also recovers his lucrative office of Governor of the Bank, which he had given Up to Uaron d'Avilliers, on condition of the hitter's restoring it in the event of his losing his seat in the Cabinet. Both these statesmen and M.

Thiers are about to proceed to Italy. The appointment of M. Mole to the Presidency of the Council is particularly criticised in the French as well as English papers; and the incidents of his public life are retraced from the Dictionnaire des Girouettes, which may he considered the appropriate title of the biographies of so many Ircnch statesmen. That M. Mole was a councillor of stale under Napoleon, a peer under the restoration, a leader of opposition against the Broglie and Guizot ministry since the revolution of 1K30, are facts which ore of course marshalled in due order against him on his appearance in ollice, as President and Minister of Foreign All'airs, at the nominal head of a ministry, purs magna of which is M.

Gtiizot, his old political and, it is said, personal enemy. M. Mole is besides charged with Russian predilections, and it is said by the ultra-Liberal organs, impartially hostile to all ministries, that whereas the policy of l'raucc in the East has lately Iiecn Knglish, while it should have ben neutral, it now will be Russian. San Sebastian, Sept. 1.

Five of the principal houses here have, at the suggestion of the Chamber of Commerce, promptly come forward with money to purchase the Jieccssary provisions for the British Legion. In consequence of a communication from the Spanish consul at liayonnc, the contracts have been renewed for a fortnight for rations for the Legion, and there is reason to believe that by that time permanent arrangements for the supplies may be made. Two or three duels have lately taken place among the officers. A few weeks ago one occurred between Col. Lasanpaye, deputy (juarter-mastcr-gcneral, and Major Richardson, late of the -1th regiment.

After firing three shots each, without effect, an explanation took place on the part of Major Richardson, and the parties left the ground. Yesterday Captain Parkes, of the 10th, fought with unother ollicer, who was slightly wounded; and this morning the same ollicer (Capt. Parkes) went out with Captain O'Connor, of the third regiment, who was dangerously wounded. The quarrels arose from trivial circumstances. Letters and papers from Lisbon are citielly filled with advertisements of the sales of national property, Nos.

Die Queen, considering the necessity of preserving the books, manuscripts, paintings, and other valuable literary and scientific edicts- that belonged to the dissolved monasteries, and to make use of these powerful means to diffuse knowledge and encourage a tasto for letters and the fine arts, by establishing in each of the capitals of the districts of the kingdoms and the adjacent islands a public library and a collection of rareties of nil kinds, and another of paintings, orders the Governor of Comibra to inquire without delay what building in that city would he the most suitable for those establishments, and to take measures to form them as soon as possible. This order is sent as a circular to all the Governors except those of Lisbon and Oporto. Amsterdam, Sept. 3.

We understand that die question relative to the cession of the Flemish part of Luxemburg, in exchange for a part of I.imburg, was discussed in the German Diet on the lfitfi of August. The Diet is said to have decided on agreeing to the cession and the exchange on certain conditions, which, as far as Belgium is concerned, related to military matters but it is said that at the same sitting a declaration was presented on the part of his Majesty, as Grand Duke, to the etl'ect that he is ready to agree to the cession of that part of Luxemburg, but hu cannot offer to the German Confederation any portion of the territory allotted to Holland as an indemnity, the settlement of the i question ot Luxemburg, and consequently the differences with Belgium, does not seem to he so far advanced as was Iioped. letter of the 31st from the Hague, says, "The King cannot approve of the proposed arrangements with regard to Luxemburg, and which, in fact, are impossible to be executed. He gave but an unfavourable reception to the personage who was employed to induce him to concede and lias, from his Cabinet, and through his collaterals at Nassau, sent instructions accordingly to Frankfort. There is in these circumstances something arising from counsel from the North, which opposes that from the other Courts." Letters from Constantinople to the 1 St Ii tilt, have been received.

France had then concluded a treaty with the Porte, by which she is placed on the same footing as England with respect to the silk trade with Syria. It is said; however, that the Sultan is indignant at the conduct of France in entering into a separate alliance, offensive and defensive, with the 15ev of Tunis, his Highness's vas-I. Some of the German papers, observes Uie Morning Chronicle, announce the probable departure of Lord yonsonby from Constantinople. His lordship, sonic time since, intimated his desire to return to Knglandon private business for two or three months. But he has not as vet fixed any time tor his departure from Constantinople.

His absence from the important duties he so ablv discharges, it is as needless as it is gratifying to say, will he merely temporary. A letter from Geneva, of the 1st instant, mentions that seeral Poles and othnr foreigners, who had made part of the expedition into Savoy, and had continued to reside in that town, have received orders to quit the canton within the space of a week. It is supposed that passports have been delivered to them for Havre, where they will embark for North America. The New Orleans Bee contains the official docu-ments relative to the treaty, for a suspension of arms between Anna's troops and the Texian army. The heads consist of 1st.

The treaty such as adopted and signed. 2nd. Santa Anna's letter to General Filasola, to request him to execute the stipulations. 3rd. General Filasola's answer to Santa Anna.

4th. The ratification of the commissioners appointed by the President of Mexico, and the Texian government. And 5th. The official dispatch of the secretary of the war department, directed to Gen. Filasola, declaring null ont void every thing done either by that General or Santa Anna as illegal.

The official documents refer to the past, and are therefore read with special interest. Mob violence appears oh the increase in the United States. A mob lately ontered the printing office of the St. Louis Observer, a religious paper, which advocated the abo lition of slavery, and put the editor to flight, besides breaking and demolishing his printing apparatus the same editor oitomiitpd to recommence the same publication at a place called Alton but he was obliged to give it up, alter having This types destroyed, and his presses torn to atoms. At Cin.

cinnati, a newspaper establishment, conducted by a Judge Birrey, thared the same fate destruction at the hands of the roob. This party is represented as being a man of considerable talent, who was formerly a resident in one of the southern states, and a slaveholder at one time himself. In his zeal for the abolition of slavery, he had given freedom to his own slaves, and spent considerable sums of money on the above paper. These outrages appear to be discountenanced by all respectable persons in America but, nevertheless they continue to exist. Quebec papers to the 11th tilt, and Montreal to the 13tb have come to hand.

Two petitions have been presented lo the hancellor from Norwich, one praying his lordship to make orders for the management of the chanty estates, which, they contend, remains in the old trustees; and the other praying the appointment of new trustees. The matter was fully argued before the Lord Chancellor, who said, he had no doubt the power rested with himself to appoint new trustees under the act," The old trustees however, fortified by Mr Knight's opinion, intend to take thequestion before the House of Lords, should the Master, before whom the case is now in course of hearing, decide against them. Mr knight opinion is that the legal estate in all the charity properties still vests in the old corporation trustees.

At a special meeting of the proprietors of the Thames I unnel Company, held at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving tho report of the directors, and a statement of the accounts, Mr Charlier, the company's clerk, read the report. It was to the effect that the directors fell great satisfaction in stating that since their lust report in March last sixty feet of the brickwork of the Tunnel have been completed, making nearly 700 feet under the Thames. When the ston- page in 18id8 tuok place it was occasioned by no difficulties of an engineering nature, but solely from the original capital of me company oemg exhausted. At thut tune about tect, out of 1,300 feet, were completed for the sum of only. i he directors never received of ihe original subscriptions more than 182,0001.

The difference between these sums, viz. 02,0001., was, as has been frequently stated to the proprietors, absorbed by the purchase of land, machines, engines, stores, buildings, parliamentary and other expenses (including the cost of maintaining the works during the period of their suspension of nearly seven years), and by the extra expenditure occasioned by the two irrupuons of the river. The directors stated that the new shield had fully answered its purpose, ami has enabled the work to proceed through some portions of ground in almost a fluid state. Some idea may be formed of the extent of the excavation which it enables the miners to carry on through the ground ot the consistency just mentioned, and which it preserves until the brickwork is completed, when it is known tint the area before and around it is equal to 2,000 superficial feet, over the whole of which vents are opened for -the infiltration of water from the river and land springs. After entering at some length into various particulars relative to the carrying on of (he works, the report concluded by stating that the directors continued their unabated confidence in Mr Brunei, and reiterated their opinion, that at no very distant period this great undertaking will be completed.

It is not, perhaps, generally known that a most important alteration has been made in the law as regards the quantity of spirits which distillers are allowed to send from their distilleries to bonded warehouses. Formerly 80 gallons was the smallest quantity which could be so warehoused. By an act of parliament passed of date I8lh August, 1H3( (ti and 7 William cup. 72), distillers are allowed to bond spirits in casks of 20 gallons. The following is the section of the act referred to: And be it further enacted, That it shall be lawful for any distiller of spirits in England, Scotland, or Ireland, to warehouse any spirits distilled in the distillery of such distiller, in casks which shall contain not less than 20 gallons each, subject to, and under, in all other respects, the rules, regulations, enactments, fines, penalties, and forfeitures, in force in England, Scotland, and Ireland respectively, relating to the distilling, warehousing, and removal of such spirits." Harvest in Ireland.

Dublin, Sept. 3. During the last ten days the weather has been very uutavourahle to the ga-herirrg of the crops, being wet and cold. This day, from dawn up to eleven o'clock, there was an incessant and heavy fall of rain. The crops are ripening most unequally, especially the oats, which may he commonly seen in the same field in every stage, from the first shooting out of the grain to per lect ripeness.

The cause of this seeins to be that every lield has produced two crops this year from one sowing the first, now ripe, consisting of those grains which sprung up in due time after the seed was committed to the ground; and the second consisting of those which, not having strength to germinate during the long continuance of drought and cold in the early months, lay in the earth until the genial showers of June unbound them. Thusame remark applies to the state of the potatoe crop, which came up ut first, in many places, at fearfully wide intervals; but now presents a uniform, and, 1 am happy to add, a very cheering appearance. The Irish Farmer's and Gardener's Magazine gives a series of reports from several counties of the present state of the crops. The extraordinary season we have had has operated differently in the several parts of Ireland, according to the varieties of soil and climate; but the general result is thus stated: The foregoing reports, derived as they are not only from our personal observation, but from disinterested and authentic sources, we unhesitatingly put forward as correct data on which to ground anticipations of the productiveness or deficiency of the present harvest. These, we believe, although diilering in many details according to their localities, may be summed up in a few words namely, that oats and wheat have so far recovered as to promise an average crop, proportionate to the breadth of ground under each and it must be recollected that the latter occupies above one-fourth less than last year.

Barley is a luxuriant crop, has been most extensively sown, and is much above an average. Hay is scarcely half a crop. Potatoes, in many districts, have partially failed, but not to such an extent as materially to affect the aggregate crop of the country and the necessity for green crops is becoming manifestly more apparent, and their cultivation more extensive. Tickii Hunt. following extract of a letter is taken from the Calcutta Courier of the bill March.

We arrived last night in Dacca, al'teramalancholy winding up our shooting excursion. We had intelligence ofan immense tiger which had killed several bullocks, On Saturday we hunted him for several hours, but could notget him. On Sunday, MrC, Mr Mr H. and Mr E. went out and sprung the tiger and wounded him severely.

He charged the Elephants six times, wounded three of them, and pulled poor E. sen. from the howdah and killed him instantly. There are half dozen deep wounds on the neck, at the juncture of the spine, and several on his face and breast; although the body was picked up by the rest of the party immediately, the vital spark had lied'. This is a dreadful business, and almost enough to satisfy any one of tiger shooting, and has thrown all Dacca into a ferment." And in the obituary of the same paper, we find the following On the 31st January, at Mcerzapore, Dacca, while on a hunting excursion, John Demetrius Ellias, aged 3fi years, deeply and sincerely regretted by those who knew and could appreciate him," from which we suppose Mr Ellias to be the person alluded to in the above letter.

(male or ins Majkstys bmrs. Yesterday, at two o'clock, pursuant to orders issued by the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom ot Great Britain and Ireland, a squadron ot super annuated ships-of-the-line, frigates, and other government vessels were put up for sale, by Dutch auction, in the hall of the Admiralty-oilice, Somerset-place. Sir Thomas Troubridge and Lord Dalmeny were the commissioners superintending ttie sale, i numner or eminent ship-owners and builders connected with the port of London, and also from Chatham, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Liverpool, Glasgow, Dublin, and other places, were in attendance. The ships and vessels to be soiu were me louowmg: Guns. Ions Burden.

Scarborough, 7-1- Surly, lighter, Greenwich, 74 Salisbury, Sh Swallow, packet Zephyr, packet brig, Experiment, 44 Santa Margarita, 30 The conditions of sale having been read, Mr Allen, the auc tioneer, put up the Scarborough at 7,5001., and according to the inverted style of Dutch auctions, continued offering the vessel, deducting 101.

from the original proposition at every announcement, until he had descended to the sum of 6,2201., when Mr Thomas Ward, of Shadwell, bid for it at that sum, and the vessel was knocked down to him. At sales by Dutch auction there is no competition of bidders, but each speculator having himself, "or through his agent, examined and estimated the ship or other object for sale, sets the price he would give for it in his book, and when the sum demanded is reduced to this, or fortunately a few score pounds below it, he calls out to the auctioneer, and the sole is effected. Mr Ward deposited twenty-five per cent of the purchase money, according to the conditions of sale. The Surly was then put up at seven hundred pounds. The price of' this craft, which was said to be in good condition, was allowed to descend to 4001.

without a bidder, when the commissioners, not thinking it proper to make any further abatement, Sir Thomas Troubridge desired the auctioneer to stop. The Greenwich was then put up at 7,5001. As the abatements came below 5,5001., many seemed inclined to bid however, they were allowed to descend to 5,3101., when she mis knocked down to Mr Sedger, of Kotberhilhe, for that sum, The Salisbury was put up at but no bidder having offered at 3,0001,, the sale was stopped. The Swallow, which is said to be a beautiful brig, was put up at 1,2001., and bought somewhat suddenly by Mr Wheeler for The Zephyr was odered at 1.0001., and knocked down at to Mr Greenwood, of Plymouth. The Experiment was offered at and stop ped by the commissioners at 1,4001.

The Santa Margarita was put up at 2,6001., and purchased by Mr Browne, of the firm of Browne and Askayne, for 1,7101. Purchasers of King's ships are not allowed to refit any vessel larger than a sloop, all others must be broken up, nor is the agent of a foreign state allowed to purchase them. The purchaser must pay the remaining 75 per cent, within two months, and take away the ship, or forfeit the deposit. All copper articles, and articles ot mixed metal feund afterwards in the vessel marked with the broad arrow, are to be returned to the nearest King's stores, where the then proprietor will be paid 1 1 Vd per pound tor the copper articles, and Sid. per pound for those of mixed metal.

The elaborate imitations of living foliage on the painied cciiinnsof Italian palaces bear no comparison with the beauteous protii sum of extinct vegetable forms wiih which ihe galleries of thee instructive coal mints are overhung. The roof is covered as with a canopy of gi reotis tapestry, enriched with festoons of most graceful foliage flung in wild irregular profusion over every portion of its surface. The effect is heightened by the contrast of the coal- black colour of these vegetables, with the light ground work of the rock to which they are attached. The spectator feels transported, as if by enchantment, into the forests of another world he beholds trees, of form and character now unknown upon the surface of the earth, presented to his senses almost In the beauty and vigour of their primeval life their scaly stems and bending branches, with their delicate apparatus of foliage, are all spread forth before him, little impaired by the lapse of countless ages, anil bearing faithful records of extinct systems of vegetation, which began and terminated in tunes ot which these relics ate the infallible histo-riims.

Laudneii's (Jyci.oiveiiia. Vol.62. This is the 3rd of Mr James's volumes nf Lives of eminent Foreign Statesmen, and comprises those of De Ketz (who was more a leader of" faction than a minister), Colbert, De Witt, and Louvois. The first aud last of these had little in their characters that will command the admiration of posterity but it is very different with Colbert, the celebrated finance minister of Louis and the not less famous Do Witt, grand pensionary of Holland. In the former, the reader of his biography is astonished at the rapidity with which an extensive and half-ruined country rose to greatness, and refinement in literature and the arts, under the direction of one fostering mind, which, calm, methodical, and attentive to details, was yet capable of grasping with ease those mighty projects by which nations become eminent in the history of the world.

Though strict probity might not altogether sanction the exercise of his talents as a financier to provide funds for wars of which he disapproved, all must applaud Irs final resolution to resign office iu such an age, rather than oporess the people any further with fresh taxes. John de Witt will ever, by the better part of mankind, be looked on as a man who possessed inherent nobility of mind. Sir William Temple, while ambassador at Brussels, had conceived an unfavourable opinion of the character of De Witt, but on visiting him, for the first time, at the Hague, he became at once convinced of the straightforward nature of his views, and thus sums up his account of a two-hours' conversation with the pensionary I judge him to be either a plain, steatly man, or very artificial in seeming so; more properly homme de ban sers; than homme (Fesprit, pointing still to that which is solid in business, and not to be imposed upon easily. These 1 take to be his talents; so that whoever deals with him must go the same plain way that he pretends to in his negotiations, without refining or colouring, or offering shadow fur substance."

19, ISSti. for dinner, to try to make Diver fetch one of tho fish to me, which I threw away in the usual manner, desiring him to hting it. Tins he readily did, and laid it down at my feet. 1 repealed the experiment often, and accustomed him always to hold it so lightly, as not to pierce it with his teeth. 1 then thought it might perhaps he possible tu teach it to fetch live fish so, having taken a few small perch with the net, 1 put them into a vessel among water; then, taking out one of these, I shewed it to him, and threw it a little way into the water, desiring him, as usual, to fetch it, He immediately sprang into the pond, and, seizing the fish before it had quite recovered itself, bronchi it back in his mouth in triumph, and laid it down at my feet.

I found the perch had buen so little crushed, as to have sustained no material injury so I took it up, and put it into the vessel among Ihe others: then taking another perch, 1 threw it into the pond alter the same manner, when Diver immediately followed it, and brought that also safe to me. While I was busied about this diversion, my masLer came up, and, having asked what 1 was about, I told him, and repeated the experiment before him. He was mightily pleased with it, and amused himself for a considerable tune at this kind of diversion then desiring that the live fishes might be reserved for another occasion, he left it for that day: he went next day to the pond himself, and repeated the experiment under a variety of forms. Among other variations, instead of throwing the fish into the water, he first allowed Diver to smo-ll at it. in his hand, without permitting him to touch it there in any way, and then putting it into the water, gently opened his hand so as to give it freedom; Diver al! this while looking at it steadfastly.

When it began to swim away, Diver was ordered to fetch it. He immediately sprang into the water, and, keeping his eye upon it, pursued it till he came up with it; then diving down he caught it, brought it out, and laid it at his feet, In this way my master would sometimes amuse himself for hours together for the creature itself seemed to be so much pleased with the sport, as to get into high spirits, which was very attractive to him. Diver became in a short time so fond of the sporl, that whenever we came near to the pond he would frisk about, expressing his pleasure by a great many awkward gesticulations. At length, however, we became tired of catching fish for his amusement, and he in vain tried to allure us to the sport. One day, while he was thus importuning me alter Ins own way, I threw into tne pona a stone mat nan accidcntly taken up Diver immediately swam to the place at which it bad alighted, where diving, he continued for some time below waier, anil then came to the top, bringing a large carp in triumph in his mouth, which he laid down at my feet as usiual this instantly suggested the idea of employing him to fish for the table, and ever since that day Diver has been employed to catch a dish of fish whenever they are wanted.

When those he catches arc too small, or of the kind that are not wanted, they are immediately returned to the pond, and he is prevented from following them but when they are of the right size or sort, they are shewn to him, and kept while he is ordered again into the water. By Hint of repeated lessons, he has now learned to understand our sicnals, so that we have little difficulty in employing him for getting a dish of any Kinu ot nsn we want, whenever we are so inclined. lull may easily believe," continued Thomas, that Diver soon be came a favourite, and has contributed not a little lo steal the mind of my master from those gloomy thoughts that for some years kept entire possession of his mind; and he thus fell imperceptibly into a train of amusements that restored him, in some measure, to the full use of the animal functions, by giving nil Kino oi suiaeiy iiaiepenueni oi any intercourse with mankind.

SPECIAL 1VIEKT1NG. Wednesday, Sept. 14, Six members of the Council. namely, Messrs Aldermen Douuln, Headlam, Lush, and I'oiter, and Councillors Clinrn- ley and I'hilipsnti, having: requested the Mayor to call a special meeting of the Council, to consider and decide on an ap plication from tut) nicy Monument Committee, tor leave to el ect monument, In honour of that uobleiniui, near the head of Upper l)eau Street, and also to change the name of that Hreet to Grey Street, the Mayor appointed the meeting to be held at 12 o'clock tills day, when the Council room was fully attended. The requisition and answer huvlug: been read, Sir Chauni.ev rase and said To bring the question before, the Council, 1 hag to move that this Council do accede to the request of the Committee.

It must be well known to most of us that great anxiety has been felt to lix upou a proper nitoatiiiii for the monument and after long deliberation, the Committee have come to the resolution that the place proposed is the fittest and most appropriate In Newcastle, it will be for you to decide whether, in your judgment, the Committee, have come to a pro-per determination, it is purely a matter of taste, at the same time that it is a matter of great consequence to the town that so noble a column as this should be placed in a proper situation, and your decision this day will be of great importance in Ibis respect. Trusting that till of us are agreed that a monument of this description should be plueed In as conspicuous a position as possible, 1 beg to move that this Council permit It to be erectert in the situation applied for. Mr Ald. Donkin I rise with great pleasure to second the motion, and in so doing, 1 need not trouble you with many words, it is simply a question whether the application marie by the Committee, who have come to their decision after anxious deliberation, shall be sanctioned by this body. I cannot bring myself to have any doubt on the subject.

I think it will be an honour to the. town of Newcastle to have a column dedicated to so distinguished a statesman placed in the town. And with regard to changing the name of the street, I perceive no great reason why that should be objected to, whilst 1 see strong reasons why it should be honoured with the name of the Illustrious statesman to whom that column will be erected. Trusting that there will he no difference of opinion on tho subject in this Council, I again beg to second Mr Charnley'a motion. Mr J.

BitANoi.isc; I believe, you will give me credit for the. assertion, that I should be the last person in tho world to throw anv impediment in the way ot the friends of the noble lord in this meotimr, or to offer any opposition to their placing a testimonial tolila character in any situation they pleased. But as we are met here to give an opinion on the subject, 1 shall venture tu express mine, that 1 think it would be paying a greater compliment to his lordship if the monument were placed in a different situation. I have long looked forward to the settlement of this point, and I believe I have stated to Mr Donkin my views respecting it. If the column be placed in the situation contemplated, 1 think it will considerably destroy the effect of the surrounding buildings, and the space about it will be too small.

My idea Is, that if a piece of ground were purchased and secured on a high part ot the Town Moor, the placing of Ihe column in that situation would proven much grander feature lor the town of Newcastle than placing it In a street. It would likewise curry more of the air and character of a column erected both for the town and country you place it In the town, it will appear the individual act of the town, and not the general act ot the two united. I therefore think, that if it were placed in such a situation as I have pointed out, and if a walk were made to it, the. column would not only be a greater feature to the town, but also more honourable to his Lorosnip iur n. were mere eree.rea, it.

wonm oc visible from many distant parts of Northumberland, and his lordship and his friends, when riding out, might see It perpetually. In the town, It will be seen merely by those who pass near it; and by thousands who arc engrossed In business, it will be passed by without their taking any notice of it at all. We have heard of a man whose mind was so occupied with business that he passed through the Church-yard of St. Paul's, ithout looking at the church, or remembering that such a thing was there (laughter) and it would probably be much the same If the intended monument be erected in the streets of this town. 1 shall certainly vote for the.

motion of Mr Cbarnley, provided the Committee think the situation they have proposed the best that run be found, though I hope they will be disposed to take my socei'stion into consideration. Sir Donkin I merely rise to state, that the plan suggested bv Mr iiranoliiig to whom I am sure every one here will give credit for the very liberal and handsome way in which be has bniifht it forward was fully considered by the Committee. Thev did not depend on their own judgment, but they took the Unions ot men of undoubted taste In such matters, and the re-soit was that, this situation was lixed on by the Committee. I'hev consulted lliilcy, the eminent sculptor, Hnd Mr Kdw. iwiubiirui', who is member of the Committee, both of whom dec (led opinion on the subject and there is little doubt among those gentlemen who have paid attention to the.
