MONMO UTHSHIRE. HOVSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 26—Mr. W. A. Williams presented a petition from the Clergy, Free- holders, &c. of Monmouthshire, complaining of the inconveniences and evi.s resulting from the beer bouses, and praying for some law for the suppression of t hcm. NEWPORT.—SMUGGLING.—Tuesday last, by the vigilant exertions of the Custom house officers of this port to detect any illicit transactions, 264 casks of braudy containing from four to six gallons each were seized, and safely lodged in the Custom house cellar. "Each of the casks was conveniently slung with ropes fur carriage, on the shoulder or by any other convey- ance. The whole, except eight casks, were secreted in an unoccupied house, called the Wind Bound Tavern, near the entrance of Newport river. The ,.lit casks were found in a ditch, near two miles from • the tavern. A schooner, called the Kate, of Bristol has been seized, having two casks of brandy on board' answering the description of those found in the house. it is supposed the whole was landed the previous night.

BRECONSHIRE. HAY. On Monday, 17th June, the imposing cei-eitiony of laying the foundation stone of a new t.huich ut Hay, took place amidst a large concourse of respectable and dec-ply interested spectators, by Henry Ailen, Esq. of the Lode. Soon after two two o'clock the parishioners &iid their friends from the -neighbourhood, began to assemble at the piace ap- pointed, and at ttirt-c a processioki was formed in the -fillonvitig order:— A BAND PLAYING A MARCH. l'iie: SINGERS The CLERK of the PARISH, and the two chief BUILDERS, one of them carrying a Banner, with the following inscription The God of Heaven, He will prosper us; therefore we, His servants, will arise and build.NEH, ii. 20. HENRY ALLEN, Esq. supported by his son, the Rer HUMPHREY ALLEN, Minister of the Parish. The CHURCHWARDENS. THE BUILDING COMMITTEE, TWO AND TWO. PARISHIONERS AND THEIR FRIENDS roua ABREAST. Upon arriving at the church-yard,"the band played a sacred air, until all were stationed. A large space having been boarded over, was fitted up with tempo- rary seats for the accommodation of ladies, and all the arrangements were so made, that not the least disorder or confusion occurred during the ceremony. A general teeling of religious solemnity well befitting the important occasion, seemed to pervade the dense mass of spectators, who crowded the south side of the church-yard, a feeling which the whole of the pro- ceedings were calculated to call forth. An appropriate hymn having been sung, and a prayer offered up for the Divine Blessing upon the work about to be com- .menced, the venerable chief mason of the day de- scended into the foundation, and after being arrayed in due form with a large white leathern apron, and receiving a hammer and trowel, laid the ponderous stone, with the date of the year engraved upon it. Immediately after this, a signal being given —" Praise ye the Lord Hallelujah was sung in full chorus.— Henry Allen, Esq. then addressed the assembled mul- titude in a very feeling and impressive manner. He began by declaring the pleasure and satisfaction he 'derived from the part he had been called upon by pressing invitation to take in the delightful ceremony of the day, referring in a very touching manner to the fact, that Hay was the place of his nativity, and that nearly four score years ago he had been first admitteda member of the church, at the font within these walls, which were now partly demolished, but were about to rise from their ruins as the enclosure of a more commodious edifice, wherein he hoped and prayed, that God may be hereafter truly served, and His word be faithfully preached. In the course of his address he gave some salutary admonitions to the numerous workmen about to be employed on the building, and made some very apposite allusions to the building of Solomon's temple. Another short hymn was then sung, after which the assembly was addressed by the Rev. Humphrey Allen, who, after expressing his thanks for the ready assistance and co-operation he had received ill his efforts to bring about the rebuilding of the parish church, his cordial forgiveness of any unkind opposition that may have been made to it in some quarters, and his wish that all such differences may be buried in oblivion with the foundation stone just laid and endeavoured to improve the opportunity, by reminding his auditors that of the numbers around him who had witnessed the laying of the foundation, it was probable that some, and perhaps many, may before the top stone shall be put on, be no lon-er so- journers upon earth. He entreated them to seek the blessed Saviour, the only surd foundation aud chief ct/iuer stone of the spiritual cilut ch, on whom alone i v:' v. v i. the hopes of sinners can secorelv rest. He concluded with a short thanksgiv:ngto God, and then pronounced he blessing. Alter this the beautiful Doxoluoy— Praise God, fro;n whom all blessings flow, &c. &c." was sung with fine effect by a multitude of voices, accompanied by a full band of instruments. The procession theu returned in the same order to the square in the centre of the town, from whence all parties dispersed, highly g-rdtifiedby the proceedings of a day, which will long live in the remembrance of those who were present. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—Yesterday morning the body of John Davies, a collier of Cyfarihfa, was found hanging by his braces, in a brake behind Colliers' Row the unfortunate man had, for some time, been occasionally deranged IWilfokd, June 27.—Tl^e cargo of the barque Keanisburgh, Zimmerman, from Bristol and Cardiff, bound to Rotterdam, consisting of iron and tin is now in course of discharge, under the snpel inteild ence and direction of Gayer Siarbuck, Esq. ag-ent for Lloyds at that place, in consequence of being leaky and otherwise damaged during the late gales. The Royal lyilliam, 120, sailed on Wednesday last, about noon, for Plymouth she was towed down the Harbour by the Messenger and Dee, steamers, accom- panied by his Majesty s brig Pantaloon, wind about with a strong- breeze. The shores on each side were lined with spectators, and those on the look out say, that after leaving the harbour slit made sail and left-the steamers to smoke by themselves, witli the Pantaloon in the rear, so that the expectations formed I of her sailing qualities were completely realized. In consequence of the latc heavy raills so uni- versally prevalent at this season, our hay harvest which had pai- i ial I y begu it does not proceed so rapidly as was at first anticipated but the crops-are exceed- ingly heavy, and only want the setting in of dry weather for a general commencement. Translation of a letter which appeared this month in the Gwyliedydd," (the IVatcltmufl,) a Welsh monthly publication AN OLD WELSHMAN TO THE" GWYLIEDYDD,' SL%DLTII GRI-.LTINGS. I have lately heard, Mr. Gwyliedydd, and YOll also must have heard many people reflecting upon, and finding fault with, the Bishops of St. Asaph and Bangor, for prcfmring to the livings of the country their own relatives and con- nexions, gentlemen unacquainted with the language of the parishioners. Whatever might have been the case formerly, it is not so at present. Entirely free from any blame of this kind are the two learned and pious Prelates, who now superintend the Church of North Wales none but genuiue Welshmen have been preferred, since they have been possessed of this important trust; and I feel somewhat confident, that the late preferments in the Diocese of St. Asaph. cannot fail to pi uve satisfactory to the Welsh p ople. Mr. Johnes, in his Essay on the causes of Dissent in \Ya]es." an auihor by no means correct in his assertions, says, That the best that can he said of the system of patronage," in our country," is, that it apportions its boons like the lottery wheel, if not in hostility to met it without any respect to it." p. 133. But it may he asked-" Was that the case in the late Ecclesiastical preferments by the Bishop of St. Asaph? When Mr. Jones, vicar of Holywell, in the county of Flint, a gentleman of great learning and exem- plary assiduity in the management of the spiritual anil temporal concerns of his parish, one of the most extensive and populous in the Principality, but with a very inadequate endowment, was preferred to the rectory of L!an Sannan, a sinecure, which enables him to give his undivided atten- tion to his own parish; when Mr. Parry, of Llanasa, in the said county, a person of extensive knowledge in the language and history of his c ntry, and who hath faithfully discharged the responsible office of rural dean of the impor- tant deanery of Tegengle for twenty seven years, was appointed a cursal canon of St. Asaph; and when Mr. Smallev, who served the curacy of Cwm for many years, under Mr. Jones, of Holywell, was made vicar there, by which judicious measure another was added to the resident incumbents of the Diocese, and a worthy clergyman pro- vidcd for .—June i,t, 1833.

CONSEBVATIVE DINNER AT NEW PASSAGE.—On Tuesday week the gentlemfcn of the Conservative Club of West Glcucestershue sat down, in number about 130, to an excellent dinner at the New Passage Inn. Col. Grreme in the Chair. Among the company present were Sir Win. Robinson, Rev. Dr. Cooke, Rev. Mr. Gray, son of the Hishop of Bristol, Rev. Mr. Shute, Rev. Mr. Holder, and numerous other Rev. gentlemen, Col. Masters, Col. Digby, Captain Shute. Mr. Sampson, &c. and, from Bristol,:M r. Alderman Daniel, Henry Bush, Esq. G. Cave, Esq. and many other influential and respectable gentlemen, both from Bristol and the county of Gloucester. The duties of the Chair were discharged with powerful and animating eloquence, by the gallant Colonel. Numerous loyal and patriotic toasts were drank with enthusiasm and the whole evening passed in enjoyment, of that high moral tone, which is un- I derstood by those only who, through good report and evil report, through prosperous times and adverse, hold fast to honourable and patriotic principles. honourat)le dn A "FRIEND TO GOOD GOVERNMENT.— Mr. Roe- buck, in his first address to the constituency of Bath, told his hearers, that the Whigs and Tories were each striving to make a property of the people; and that he and a few others had formed a party for their protection, under the title of the" friends of good government." We believe that all men, both Whigs and Tories, were anxious to dis cover by what means "good government" might be effected; and we have now a solution.of the problem, in the following extract from the Evening Mail:— House of Commons, June 19.h. Roebuck presented a petition from the working classes of Tiverton, in favour of the operation of the Beer Bill(I); and a petition from an individual, named Jardine, at Chichester, stating that he was falsely imprisoned with his wife several weeks; that he brought an action, and recovered only 201., owing to the treachery of his counsel, the partiality of the judge, and the corruption (if the jury ( ); also a petition from 5000 inhabitants of the city of London, for the release of Mr. Carlisle, and a petition from Robert Taylor, paying his own release (!). The hon. member felt great pleasure in presentiijg and supporting these petitions." So that" good government" is drunkenness without limit; "emancipa- tion'' from trial by jury; and blasphemy without restraint. How long will people be the dupes of such imposture? The DUTCH EMBARGO.—The removal of the re- strictions on the commercial intercourse between this coun- try and Holland has been attended with the happiest con- sequences to the trade of the Wear and Tyne. We are informed, by a correspondent, that during the last eleven days about 50 vessels have cleared from Sunderland for different ports of Holland, employing about 8000 tons of shipping, and from 3-30 and 400 seamen. The sum ex- pended amongst the various tradesmen of the town, in out fits, cannot be reckoned at less than 1800i. or 20001., and the export duty paid at the Custom Hoiyse may be mo- derately stated at 18001. The coal owners will-have received fur the cargoes-from 45001, to 50001.: so that every class, masters and servants will have been mutually benefitted by the removal of this Whig benefit" which was be- stowed by our wise" ministers on this country to coerce the King of Holland to the demands of France. We attri- bute the removal of this embargo to the clear, convincing, and argumentative expose of its ruinous consequences to B.itish interests and commerce made by Mr. Alderman Thompson, the member for Sundeiland and if the worthy Alderman should effect no further good for his Constituents during the present session, he has done enough to deserve their gratitude, and to entitle him to the admiration and respect of every friend to the best interests of the impor- tant and enterprisina. wwu of Suiideriand.-I)urhain Ad.

Griffiths, of Ciliau, addressed a very brae concourse of people on the interesting occasion. The addresses were excellent and very appropriate. 1-OLr.Y AY A CRUELTY—Evan Evans, cooper, of Pembroke Dock, in a drunken frolic, attempted to lift a horse, of the pony siZe, from off the "round. The animal began to plunge, and kicked, the cooper, who in a passion took a large clasp knife from his pocket, and cut several deep gashes in the neck of the animal.—He was imme- diate. y apprehended, taken before a magistrate, and com- mitted to Haverfordwest gaol to take hi- trial at the next assizes. WREXHAM.—The Wrexham Dispensary, the origin of which may be dated from the late election of Sir W. W.

MARCH OP PAROCHIAL ECONOMY—At a vestry meeting of St. James's Bath, last weak, the parishioners, in an economising mood, resolved on the following impor- tant resolutions T hat no money be paid to the ringers out of the paush funds on the occasion of the mayor's visit to the chuich on St. James's dav." That there shall be no flag hoisted, or bells run £ at the parish expense on May 2J. lhat the ringers and flag hoisters on the 5th November sha 1 not be paid by the parish." That no Euster or Christmas hymns shall be paid for by the parish." That the churchwardens shall lie empowered to take the estimate of three persons, and select one, for winding up the clock I" This outdoes anything in the way of retrench., ment which has yet been effected even in t',c dock-yards, excepting always the reduction of the cat's meat. It would even put Joseph to the bluh. We have authority for statins: that Mr. Murchisen, the late president of the Geological Society, is decidedly of opinion that coal docs not exist in any part of the county of Radnor, and this opinion is the result of actnal examina- tion lately made by that sciviitifegentlenian. In a memoir lately read to the Geological Society, the litter impossibility of coal being found in Radnorshire, is demonstrated by Mr. Murchiseu.— Hereford Journal. HONOUR TO WHOM HONOUR IS DUE,-We be- lieve there is no class of Christians more anxious to fulfil this injunction than the door keepers of our Scottish churches, but like most men, they often fall into the sad blunder of honouring a good coat in place of a good con., science. This cannot be meant by the sacred vollime James ii. and 2, For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment, and ye have respect to him that weareth gay clothing, and say unto him, sit thou in a fine place, and say to a poor man, stand thou there, or sit thou here under my footstool, arc ye not then partial in yourselves ?" Verse 9, If ye have respect to persons yo commit sin." An instance of the danger of trusting im. plicitly to dress in the selection of persons deserviiijr honour, occurred the other Sabbath in a church not a 100 miles from the cross of Kdinburgh. A stronger "in ay clothing" made his entree and was soon recognised hy the door-keepers as one to be shown into a fine place." One of their number led the supposed gentleman into a genteel seat in front of the gallery, but on getting a nearer glance of the stranger's face, he thought he discovered a certain something about his contour which half inclined him to retract his civility. By this time, however, he had gone too far to recant, and at all hazards he seated his man-a notorious thimbler! The ladies in the seat looked a little askance at their new companion, while the gentlemen buttoned up their pockets, and, as the swindler was known to many in the church, the doomed seat" was rather I unceremonious!v glanced at during the sermon, From certain articles that have since been missed by individuals in his neighbourhood, it appears that the thimble man had been fully as alive to the temporal as the spiritual profits to be derived from his fine place." The door-keepers have avowed that in future they will bestow no honour upon a good coat, unless the coat be accompanied by an honoürable" co(in ten ance.-Scot.,inan. THE VIRGIN WHIG.—AN awkward affair, which occurrcd "to one of the Judges on the. Western circuit, at Taunton, has recently been the subject of much mirth in the Temple Hall. It appears that the pious judicial, having finished his labours, had cast off his forensic wig at his lodgings, and retired into the next room to wait for his brother Judge, whom he was about to accompany to some of the local aristccracy to dinner. The female servant of the house had entered the bed chamber by a side door, and not knowiug the Judge was in the next room, in a frolic arrayed herself in the Judge's wig. Just at this moment, when the fair Mopaey was admiring herscif in the looking- glass, the Judge very unexpectedly entered the apartment, and poor Mopsey catching a sight of his stern countenance, °.° inS jnst over her shoulder in the glass, was so much alarmed that she fainted, and would have fallen on the „roun l t e learned Judge, impelled by humanity, had not caught her i„ his arms. At this critical moment his ro er u< ge arrived, aud opening the dressing-room door wi a view o see if lle was reajy discovered his learned brother with the fauitiag ,>vishnlg to intrude, he attempted to withdraw, when his brother Judge vociferated, For God's sake, L stop and hear f" rntMUM«L" Nevfir t>" ^id I'—, "O' t ? matter ^Plains itself; and he left his ea,rnn T_fo„ J 0 recover the fainting maid as he could.

CAUTION Ti) M^TSTERS._OH Friday the 14th inst. Mr. Whittaker, a maltster, was convicted before the magistrates at Wakefield, in the miti ated penalty of 1U0J. for mixing the malt which had been taken from two different cisterns to the drying kiln. It was admitted that no Iraud was intended, but as the defendant and his servant had been cautioned by the excise officers, the magistrates only mitigated the penalty one half, though they might have reduced it to one-fourth. The penalty goes to the mtormer. 1 SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Wednesday af- ternoon, while a couple of boys were amusing themselves by the side of the wall which fronts the green at the bottom of Charlotte street, Glasgow, they happened to stumble upon a bag, partly concealed among a quantity of rubbish, which contained something of considerable bulk. On cutting it open, to their horror, and that of every other on- looker, it was found to contain the dead bodies of a middle aged female, and in a handkerchief by her side a young child. Round the neck of the former a piece of rope was firmly twisted. The corpses were carried to the police officc. The female appeared to have been dead about ten days.— Glasgow Courier. FIRE AT l'y MI'STONE.-On Wednesday week nearly the whole of the beautiful and romantic fishing town of Lympstone, on the river lixe, was destroyed by fife, which originated in the dwelling of a fisherman.

AFFAIR OF HONOITR IN FRANCE—-In consequence of the attacks made by Colonel de Bricqueville against Marshal Soult, the Minister 01 War, in his speech in the Chamber of Deputies on 1 hursday, a meeting with swords took place between the Marquis de Dalmatia, ion of the Marsha), and Col. de Bricqueville, yesterday morning in the Bois de Boulogne. After a contest, which lasted ten de B, r minutes, the Marquis struck his foot against a stone and fell, upon which his adversary gallantly stretched out his hand, and raised him. TIIIy reassumed their positions, and after another long contest, the sword of Col. de Bricqueville becoming entangled with that of the Marquis, escaped from his hand, but the latter immediately returned 't to him. After a short pause, the combat was renewed for the third time, in the course of which the parties grappled with each other, and it became a question of mere bodily strength. Upon this the seconds, who were Marshal Clauzel and Gen. Jacqueminot, on the part of the Marquis (le Datinatia, and Gen. Excelmans anq M. Cesar Bacot, for Col de Bricqueville, interposed, and separated them, declaring that enough had been done by each to maintain their honour, and that the engagement could not be suffered to proceed anv further. To this decision the two principals submitted, and separated, with reciprocal marks of esteem. It will be seen by our report of the debate in the Chamber yesterday, that M. de Bricqueville's speech gave rise to fresh discuuiou.-(;aliglUllll s Meessnger. :¡ ;oj <; I heights charge to the LLLUyj y OF THE DIOCESE OF LLANDAFF, v IN APRIL 183-3. I It is impossible, either to sit down to the perusal of t,ns masterly address without I)eill,, I.ivette(i to it u oi-o usque ad mala,1 or then to rise without a sin- core feeling of regret, that the powerful crator to whom we have been listening, has not further ex- tended his-discourse. The subject on which the Kev. and Learned Chancellor speaks, is one which can be grasped only by niltids- of a higher order. He treats it -.it the pure spirit of Christian piety and meekness. The propositions relating to it arc ex- pounded in a lucid arrangement of valuable and exten- sive learning and he throws over the whole a mantle of classic taste and attractive eloquence, wlmh must riise iii every lover of literature a deep regret, that the civittnt (i)-,Ior prava jubentium is labouiiu" with ,ar.se than Gothic darkness, to overthrow a Church Establishment so eminently conducive to the forma- tion of the Christian, the gentleman, and the scholar. To make any thing-like an analysis of this truly valu- able address would no less exceed the limits of our space, than it would fall short of doing justice to the subject. The work is one which should be under- stood by every Christian, by every true friend of the Principality, by every admirer of classic and elegant literature; and to be understood in its fair value, it should be read. But we cannot refrain from enrich- ing oni- columns with a few of its valuable extracts from which our readers may form some estimate of the whole. After some feeling allusions to the practice, too prevalent in some parts of the diocese, of sutferino- church yards to become places of grazing for caltlt the Rev. Gentleman says— I will dwell no more on this. The very numerous im- provements that have taken place throughout the diocese till me with a cheering hope, that the day may not be far di-tant when an universal spirit of interest and decent pride shall be manifested in the good order and neat appearance of our church yards-in making and sustaining commodious paths therein, and even adorning them with evergreens and flowers when the epithet neglected' shall no more be suitably applied to that • spot,' where, it may be Iwpcd, many of our own children in the Lord repose, and where the venerzlble Fathers of the hamlet .sleep., And in a note he adduces the following testimonies of the reverence in which the ancients, and especially the more polished nations of the ancients, held the deposit&iies of the remains of their dead :— Heathen, esteemed their Camieteries and punished any violation of them with severity. Julian, Cod. Th. Lib. ix. Tit. 17. De sepulchris violatis, Leg. 5. says, Pergit, audacia ad Busta diem funetorum, et apgpres consecratos, cum et lapidem hinc movere, terrain sollicitave, et cespitcm vellcre, proximum Sacrilegio M.i()rps semper habwennt- v Wo have in an ancient poct Of Res fa sacra, miser, noli mea tangere bata; S,tcrilerm Bustis abstinuere manns." In Cicero, Lib. iv De Rep. apud Nonium, we find Sic Poutjficio jure sanctitudo sepultuvas. And, Phiiip. IX. Sepulchrorum sanctitas in ipso est, See. &c. Atque lit castera extinguuntur, sic sepulchra fiunt sanctiora vetustate. Again, Lib. ii. De Leg. De sepulchris autcm nihil est apud Solonem amplius, quam ne quis ea deleat, &c piEnaque est, si quis bustum (nam id puto appellari tumbon Gr. ) ant monumentum, aut columnam, violarit deje- cerit, fregerit.

Again, we read in an old Epitaph: Sit tibi teria levis, cineres quoque fiorc tegantur. And, in another Sparge, precor, flores supra mea busta, viator. So Virg. yEn. Lib. v. Purpureosqe jacit flores. And Lib. vi. Manibus date lilia plenis, Purpurcos spargam flores, animamqe nepotis His salleIn accumulem donis. The Romans often directed by will that roses should be annually placed oil their tombs. The Rev. Gentleman then, after alluding to several minor details of parochial arrangement, gives a con- cise and lucid view of the accidental causes which, at different times, have frustrated the endeavours of the pious aud learned heads of the Clfurch to intro- duce into the ecclesiastical and canon law improve- ments which the progress of intelligence prescribed as expedient, and which the iiiiiiistes-s of the Church desired. To this misfortune he very justly imputes the inadequacy of the power vested in the Diocesan for the suppression of irregularities, which may some- times occur in individual clergymen and bring scandal upon the whole of their sacred order. On the measure now in contemplation for the reform of. the Church in this respect, he says:- With reierenco to what is called criminal proceeding,it i3 proposed to remove this altogether from the cognizance of the spiritual tribunals; and it is recommended tu transfer the whole remaining jurisdiction from the Diocesan to the the Provincial Courts. A more practicable and summary method is provided for the correction, of delinquent Ministers. In a body of men probably exceeding twelve thousand it would be too much to suppose that there were not some unmindful of theu- character and sacred calling-encruie, to the Cross of Christ- irregular in their conduct-and scandalous in their lives and conversations. And here how weak and ineffective is the discipline of our Church! ff any just occasion of offence arises-if our sacred profession be dishonoured by the drunkenness or incontinence, or other grievous crime of a vicious member, the severest accusations are forthwith directed, not against the inefficiency of the law, but against the Prelates and (governors of the Church. The inexpediency and un- profitableness of whose office are loudly proclaimed, when evils of such magnitude are, as it is said, tamely permitted and endured. Our Bishops, my Reverend Brethren, as you well know, so far from being justly liable to animad- version in this matter, have alwavs desired a better state of things—have grieved at the ineffective efforts of their own authority, and lamented that the constitution has seemed to extend a greater portion of protection to the secular interests of the accused party, than to the spiritual welfare of the sOIJls entrusted to his care. Our Governors have, indeed, been virtually without power as to that corrective discipline which is exercised by every other Christian society, and which every dissenting body knows to be essential to its welfare and even existence. The various methods and devices by which a guilty party may ingeniously contrive to escape, or to delay the ends of justice, and the enormous expenditure which has been thus legally incurred by the Bishop, and sometimes even without success, has created a powerful sensation in the public miud", and given occasion to the proposed amendments. That some hope does now exist of correcting this mis- chief, and of effectualiy putting away the wicked person" from tmong us, is a matter to all of us of hearty con- gratulation. J

THE TAXES.—The taxes are indeed heavy and if those laid on by government were the only ones we had to pay we might more easily discharge them but we have many others, and much more grivous to., some of us we are taxed twice as much by our idleness- three times as much by our pride—and four times as much by our folly: and from these taxes the commissioners cannot ease or deliver us by allowing any abatement,-Suturday's ,fagu;;lne. A TEMPERATE VILLAGE.—In the village of Amos- bury, Mass, containing a population of more than two thousand souls, and which has two public taverns and four- teen stores, there is not at this time a single gallon of ardent spirits of any description whatever.

TH E LAST TOKKN, OR IIEM.EM BKK-ME." WRITTEN ON Til L PRINCESS AMELIAS MOURNFUL PRESENT TO IHS MAJESTY, BY PETER PIN DA It, ESO. With all the virtues bl'est, and every grace To charm the world and dignify her race, Life's taperlosing fast its feeble fire, The fair Amelia thus bespoke her sire: Faint, on the bed of sickness lying, My spirit from its mansion flying, Not long the light these languid eyes will see My friend, my father, and mÿ king, Oh wear a daughter's mournful ring, Receive the token, and remember me TO R., ON HIS BIRTH DAY. Each return of this day, be it crowned with delight, Determined be you to pursue what is right, In every action through life that you do, Attend to your duty, keep virtue in view, Remember that one day all hearts shall be known, And lost all advantage—but virtue alone. Pay implicit regard to the Source of all truth; Remember that God is the guide of our youth; If his precepts be followed, whatever bptide. His favour our shield, then may worlds bedefy'd, Should a host of opponents strike hard at your peace, 'Tis in vain, you've a comfort that never can cease. Belying on heaven, may your yeais glide away. In comfort and peace may you close every day. Cull each hour as it parses an angel of light, Heaven's messenger noting your conduct is right; And add to these blessings, thou giver of all Health, treasures, and friends, in abundance to fall; In thy favours enriched, may his eightieth year come, And then peaceful descend without fear to the tomb.

'Tis a wild, yet calm retreat From the sultry summer heat, Where the lofty branches tower, Twining form a sylvan bower, om Its sparkling emerald-bosom set With the deep blue violet. In the moss each glittering gerri Seems an azure diadem, As the winged alchYllIiilt sips, Nectar from each beauty's lips, And the perfumed woodbine b,eatho. Through its varied clustering wreaths, Mingled with the dark green thyme. Wild rose sweet and eglantine, While round its rocky tangled base Sparkling streams their progress trace, From the gifted hallowed spring*. Through the deep glade murmurrng Onward to the ocean wide, Where they mingle with the tide. And at eve his pensive tale Is warbled by the nightingale; 'Mid the fragrant woodland bower Is the rosehis favourite flower, The loveliest that decks the scene, Sultana there, the bulbul's quetrn Echoed through the leafy glen, Each note more tuneful breathes again, 'Till the crescent moon, her light Veiling, as aurora bright, With rosy hands, the portals high For Phoebus opens in the sky.

.¡. FOllEIGAr P LA STS. OP- All our different sorts of corn, and many of our vegetables, derive their origin from foreign countries, f,retierally those of a higher temperature than our's. The greatest part of them came from Italy; Italy obtained them from Greece; and Greece from the East. When America was discovered, many plants, and flowers were found that till then were ullknown and have since been transplanted to Europe, where they have been cultivated with great success and the English still take great pains to cultivate in their own country many different plant-s from North Ame- rica. Most of the different species of corn, which form the best kind of nutriment for men and animals, are graminous; and though they are now completely naturalized to our soil, and the fields are covered witb them, they are of foreign growth. Rye and wheat are indigenous in Little Tartary and Siberia, where they still grow without culture. From what country barley and oats were introduced we are ignorant; but we may be assured they are not natives of this cli- mate, or it would not be necessary to cultivate them. Rice is the produce of Ethiopia, whence it was car- ried into the East, and afterwards into Italy. Since the commencement of the eighteenth century, it has been much cultivated in America, and we now import from that country great quantities of that useful grain. Buck-wheat originally came from Asia; it was introduced into Italy at the time of the crusades from whence it was brought to Germany and England. Alost of our pulse and herbs have also a foreign origin. Borage comes from Syria; cresses from Crete, the cauliflower from Cyprus; and asparagus from Asia. We are indebted to Italy foi the chervil; to Portugal and Spain for the dill-seed; to the Canary Islands for fennel; and to Egypt for anniseed and parsley. Garlic is a production of the East; shallots come from Siberia; and the horse-radish from China. We are indebted to the East Indies for kidney beans; to Astracan for pompions; to France for lentils; and to Brazil for potatoes. The Spaniards brought the tobacco plant from Cuba,.where the finest species of tobacco is found. Some of our most beautiful flowers arc also the produce of foreign countries. Jessamine comes from the East Indies; the elder-tree from Persia; the tulip from Cappadocia the Narcissus, or daffodil, from Italy; the lily from Syria; the tube rose from Java and Ceylon; the pitlk from Italy; and the aster from China. J Let us regard these gifts of nature with joy and gratitude, and thank our Heavenly Father for the abundance of his bounty, in thus contributing to our pleasure and well-being by making the remotest regions of the earth tributary to our neeessitie.. Let us also endeavour to become acquainted with the nature ot the globe which we inhabit. There is an universal transmigration aver all the earth men, animals, aud vegetables, are transplanted from one country to another and may We all, wherever our lot may be cast, endeavour to do our duty as men, and so live that our names shall be revered by the just and good whilst living, and, when happily trans- planted to that country where our toils shall end and our troubles cease, our memory shall be blessed, and our departure be lamented, by thousands who have tasted of the sweets of our converse, and received the benefits of our exertions for the general good of mankind. 6 b

A. GFNTLE CREATURE— At Union Hall, Williaol Benson, the organ blower in Newington Church, preferred a charge of assault against a woman n'amed Drake. The organ-blower was passing up a court in Newington, when he heard a blow up in one of the houses, and he stopped to listen upon which a bucket of water descended on him, and his ears caught the following sounds: Take that, old music-an listeners never hear any good of themselves." The unfortunate organ blower had no sooner recovered from this shock, than Mrs. Drake rushed out and attacked him tooth and nail. I'll give you bellows to mend she said, and having knocked him down. she threatened -1 to jump the wind out of him," but the impending danger was averted by a kind neighbour.—The defendant, who said the" organer" had no business to listen, and that he was a slanderer, was held to bail. OLIVER CROMWELL.—During the Protectorship of Cromwell it happened that a secret expedition being about to sail, one of the fanatical preachers, whom Cromwell was obliged to pleae sometimes, although he generally disap- proved of their conduct, came to the Protector, and de* manded an audience. When this was granted, he said- The Lord wishes to know where the secret expedition is going!" The Lord knows already," replied Cromwell; but thou shah know, for thou shalt go with it;" and he sent him on board the fleet.- Literai-,y Gaxette. CAPITAL Loss.—^When the late Mr. ——— died, whose head was of unusual dimensions, a person called on Wm. Stibbs, the facetious hair cutter, at Cardiff, and said, Stibbs I have good news for you, Nlr. is dead, and he must have been an unprofitable customer.

ABYSSINIAN BAIL ft I ST-Llrs.-Tti courts of law, whether held by the governor of a province or by a sub- ordinate magistrate, the plaintiff and the defendant stand up with their dress tied round their middle, leaving the upper part of the body naked a custom which is observed even in the severest weather.
