Thv minstrel-i were tuneful: their high-sounding 9 numbers.

The madness of warfare which batter'd thy towers One stubborn resolve of thy soul could not break Nor could the red deluge that scattered thy flowers Tinge a blush of the Rose on thy ever-green Leek Perchance in the glens where the cataracts rattle, A branch from the stem of thy Princes still grows,— A Chief who may yet lead thy heroes to battle, And teach thee again how to fetter thy foes. But I shall not live to relate his bright story,-— I die on the spot where thy Uberty died- I come to your rest, sainted children of glory Kind Death will prepare me a bed by your side. ALUN.

SSUFF AND TOBACCO COMPANY. Exfvmo dare lucrm." very numerous meeting was held yesterdav, at the Bill Soume's Tavern, St. Giles's for the purpose of establishing a Snuff and Tobacco T^Right Hon. Lord Dead wig Dryasdust being unanimously called flu the chair, vociferously called for a pioe of weed, which having lighted, v,t. requested'the attention of ail present to a gen- j tfeman who would explain t'ne object for which tky were iheu assembled. j to Mr. Flamingo Funk then rose, and spoke as follows — My Lord and Gentleiiieii,-Tlie difficulty of finding profitable employment for superabundant capital, in the ordinary channels óf coÙuueree, is universally acknowledged and been busily employed and perplexed in devising plausible schemes to pick our pockets, by holding out to our cupidity vari- ous fallacious prospects of a more facile and rapid accumulation o-fiveattli. Some of these projects, èl'\tlë-r.hJf}, notwithstanding their boasted advan- tages, have disappointed the hope of thesallglline and too Credulous speculator and innumerable are the schemes still afloat to entrap the unwary but the plan which I this day have to submit to your notice, holds only a fair prospect of remuneration to the shareholders, and essentially differs from all others of modern inventioii inas- much as that which merely serves to uphold these mushroom institutions for a short peiiod, will prove to this company a main cause of support, and consequent profit, (Heai- hear I evl)lctin, !) Gentlemen, turn you eyes to the Noble Lord who fills that chair with such ineffable grace and majestic dignity sniff the aromatic vapour that "gracefully curls" from his pouting lips, and then say, after that silent, yet forcibly expressive illustration, if you can. possibly misunderstand me? (No No-.? Bravo I) Puffing, then, gentle- men, I fearlessly assert, wiH be to us a source of wealth, and our returns must be excellent, in spite of the shagr'm of our envious and tottering cotemporaries. (Hear, hear V From the increas- ing refinement in public taste and manners, the period, I trust, is not far distant when we shall see cigars introduced into the mouths of infants see cigars introduced into the mouths of infants instead of lollipops and those young ladies who fastidiously object to a gravel walk from the nos- trils to the mouth, will ere long be banished from all polished soejety.-Slio,its of applause.) I shall not trespass longer upon your time then to propose the establishment of-a Stiuff af-td Tobacco Company. Sir Marmaduke Muzzlensump seconded the mo- tion, which was carried unanimously. It was then agreed that a capital of §,OOO,OO0L should be raised in shares of 50 guineas each, and that the first instalment should be a quid, which was deposited by each person present.— The following officers were then appointed:- President, The Right Hon, Lord Deadwig Dryas- dust Directors, Sir Olfactory Sneezum, Sir Marmaduke Muzzlemuinp, Sir Barnabas Brose- ley, Sir Peter Pipes, barts., Right Hon. Theo- philus Maryland, and the Hon. Bosky Burnthe- weed Bankers, Messrs. Stuart, Rails, and Co. Cbaring-cross Secretary, Flainitigo Funk, esq. salary £ "5000 a year. The business of the day being concluded, the company marched to the Earwig and Trumpet Tea Gardens, in the following order of proces- sion :-Two Parish Beadles in full costume, with cocked hats, short-cut wigs, and shag breeches, chewing pigtail; the Chairman smoking a hookah, borne by a chimney-sweeper the Directors, two and two, smoking-cigars three feet long the Pro- prietors, three deep, blowing long steamers two hundred old Washerwomen, with open snuff-boxes each bearing a gum-tickler of Hodge's blue riiiit, the Hon. the Secretary, bearing the box contain- ing the deposit money in one hand, and a coil of pigtail in the other In this order the procession reached the Gar- dens, where a suitable entertainment was provid- tJd; and in the evening such a dense cloud of tobacco smoke was emitted from the mouths of the jolly joint, proprietors, that the moon, for a time, was partially obscured the phenomenon would have astounded even the primitive smoker Sir Walter Raleigh. Nothing occurred to mar the pleasures of this delightful symposium till about two in the morning, when share- holder, redolent of beer and, gin, mad« a ser- pentine advance to the chair, and with a hiccup, by way of prelude, annouuced-" As how that the Honourable Secretary fduring the mistijica- tion) had bolted with the blunt." On this intima- tion the President, suddenly dropping his Jaw and his pipe at the same moment, adjourned the meet- ing sine die.
fDREADFUL MASSACRE.
f DREADFUL MASSACRE. On board the South Sea Whaler, the. Elizabeth. TIIK following details of a most barbarous massacre, which occurred on board the South-sea whaler, the Elizabeth, just arrived at Deptford, while lying off the Island of Vavaoo, has been communicated by one of the surviving crew.— Though the particulars have not as yet been com- municated to the public, we believe that a full report of the melancholy catastrophe has been made to the Admiralty, by Mr. Mellish, of Lower Shadwell, the owner of the Elizabeth. We give the narrative of our informant without any change in style or arrangement on our part On the 29th of September, 1822. the South- seaman, the Elizabeth, sailed from London, and after the lapse of a year, during which period she was occupied in the object of her voyage (the whale fishing), came to an achor in the harbour of Port Refuge, in the island of Vavaoo, situate in long. IB. 50. S. and lat. In, W. The inhabitants of the island are of a copper colour, the most of them of a gigantic size. Their hair is stained with a variety of colours, princi- pally white, black, and red, and they tattoo their backs and thighs, but by no means in so neat or regular a manner as the other islanders of the South Seas. OH the vessel coming to an anchor the natives hurried down in shoals, and in the most generous and abundant manner supplied the ship's company with fruit, herbs, vegetables, and other productions of the Island. fil return for this generosity, the Captain presented their Chief Fellow, with a musket and half a barrel of powder. On our arrival at this islandol' Vavaoo we found on shore five Englishmen, whose names were Brown, a man called Jemmy (his surname could not be found out), James Loft, Henry Tillet, and William Barwell. The two former were saved from the ship Portau-Prince, when taken i.t a neighbouring island the third was a con- vict; and the two latter escaped from the wreck of the Ceres, Captain Lancaster, who, with se- veral of his crew, were massacred at the island of Tonama. We sailed from Port Refcge Sept. 23, 1823, taking with us three natives, two men and a boy. one of whom shortly afterwards became idiotic, and jumped overboard while the vessel was run- ning at the rate of six knots's an hour; a boat was nevertheless lowered, and he was picked up. When he was brought on board he appeared quite unconcerned, in consequence of which the Captain ordered him forward, and gave directions that he should be prevented hojding any com- munication with his fellow-countrymen. He some time afterwards aimed a blow at one of the men with the cook's axe, for which he was flogged, and turning out extremely troublesome, the Captain subsequently put him on shore at the island of Tongatabon, from whence he found his wav back to Vavaoo. The remaining natives were treated with the greatest kindness during the whole time thev remained with us. We after- wards cruised off Nooah, and canoes came off. Among these we saw several natives of Vavaoo, who had been sent by Fenow with presents to the Chief of the island. By these we were informed that a vessel had ran on shore at Vavaoo, and that Brown had advised Fenow to seize her and murder the crew, but that Feoow, rejecting his j advice, bad mustered his men and got her off,— This was, however, considered-an.idle tale by the ship's company, and being soon after in want of 0 -R_ wood and water, we made a second trip to Vavaoo. On our arrival there we fired two guns, hut these were taken no notice of, in consequence, as we then imagined, of its being too late for any canoes to come off. We were some-what surprised at Brown's not coming, as he had promised the Cap- tain he would do so. On our arrival there we lay off during the night, but next morning we ap- proached, and were allowed to enter the harbour without any one having' appeared at length ad- vancing up it, we observed a canoe concealed be- hind some rocks, apparently for the purpose of reconnoitering us. These circumstances excited our suspicious; however we came to an anchor, such was the confidence our unfortunate Captain placed in the savages,who were destined to be his murderers. At two o'clock, P. M. a message/came down from Fenow to the Captain, informing' him that there was a castongo, or feast on the island, or that he and Brown, whom they called Arfonkir, would have come on board before. At eight o'clock, A. M. a oanoe came down, containing Brown, Fenow, and several of his Chiefs.— Fenow was immediately taken into the cabin, where the Captain made him a present of a checked shirt and a pair of blue trowsers, which, however, he soon exchanged with one of his- Chiefs for a lappa, and which, no doubt, was done for the better concealment of his club. The na- tive who had been with us, was very assiduous in pointing out the officers to Fenow during dinner. The Captain's rjRe hung up in his cabin, which Fenow seeing, was anxious to obtain possession of it, and asked the Captain to give it to him; but this he declined doing, much to the displea- sure of the Chief. After dinner the natives were observed playing clubs and spears, in the chains they were instantly ordered out, and the barba- rians themselves turned off the decks. Directions were then given to load the muskets and great guns, two muskets being previously sent into the main-top, and two into the fore-top. This being done, the Captain walked forward to turn the na- tives off the deck, and had proceeded as far as the waste, when Fenow, coming behind him with the stancheon which supports the skidda, and giving- the war-whoop, struck the Captain on the forehead as be was turning round to know the cause of the tumult. The contest now became general, andadread tul slaughter ensued, in which, as the Crel were unarmed, the natives must have bee victoi-ions, if it hail not been for the arms in th tops. The fire from the foretol) was most terrifi On oneside lay the chief iyiate welteringin his go' and alongside of him J. Jacobson, in ilearl similar state.

(lesperate blow and so great was the alirn the natives- at the report of the guns and the section of their chief, that in a few minutes decks were almost cleared.—Those who were the tops then descended to lend their assista. to those below. Brown at this instant made appearance at the gangway, and rushed into cabin, from whence, with the greatest diffteul he made his escape, which was much regret on the part of the surviving crew, as they thous that he and one of the other Englishmen tl found on the island were the cause of this inhuII massacre. Some of the crew then got into boats that were over the quarter-decks, and s cessfully used the harpoons, lances, and spei against the natives, while others, with musl and logs of wood, killed all they met with ha ing to the sides of the ship, or swimming alo side. Our attention was next directed to wounded, who lay about the deck. The Cap was the first who was taken below, when wounds were washed, and plasters applied. principal wound he received was in the forel it proved mortal, and terminated his existe. about ten days.

Servants pay their mast sums of money, in some cases, to wait u; tlemen in the public-houses, and they tnu munerated by passengers. Coachmen and all indeed live, not from wages, gratuitous presents and one is bouad t, with their custom. Oxford is a beautiful city. The I some of which were built in the thirtee. tury, have rather an old look, somewhat wri, and furrowed, but gothic and magnificent in tin- highest degree. Indeed, as the colleges are scat- tered all over the city, it appears as though there were no other buildings there between 4 and 5000 students at present, are at this ancient place ofJearniug. Nothing pleased me better than a visit to the house in which Shakespeare was horn, in Strat- ford-upon-A von. The coachman gave us hal fan hour for diMer at this town, and although quite -l_ I hungry, T postponed the dinner to pay a visit to the birth-plaeti of the celebrated poet. The house is on the main-street, the lower part occu- pied as a butcher's shop. It is a miserable look- ing place, very narrow and low, and rough edough for a stable. The room in which Shakspeare was born, is about ii or 15 feet square, low ceil- ing, and built as though it was intended thehouse should last for ever, as most of the English houses are built. I found the walls, sides and over head written so full of names, that it was quite difficult to find a space sufficiently large to put down mine. Oil passing through the butcher's shop the occu- pies the first story) I looked sharply at his meats, for there seemed to be music in the very bones of the joints. EOl'ten miles before you get to Birmingham. the coal smoke suffocates one. I have often heard of their inventions for consuming their own smoke in England—they must mean by the inha- bitants, for each one appeared to me as though he had been assistingin the consumption. I am delighted with the appearance ofthe coun- try. All England is like a tiower garden—indeed it is so highly cultivated and so beautiful, that one gets almost fatigued with seeing such a con- tinued sameness of beautiful fields and hedg'e fences. Above all, nothing can compare with the neatness of the English cottages. They look so neat, ae,, -are enlivened in their appearance hy such a profusion of flowers, which are to be seen in every window, as well as in their gardens—and then, too, the smiling and healthy countenances of the cottager and his family, with cheeks as red as the rose, and eyes as bright as a new sove- reign—one has little time for any thing but admi- ration at snch scenes as these. England was ne- ver so prosperous as at the present moment, and the most perfect good will, and most friendly feel- ing exists towards America. The people speak of our country with admiration, and so far I have found them agreeable and sociable to such a de- gree, that a blush is constantly put upon Ameri- cal) manners. I was not very much surprised at any thing I had seen until I hail reached London. I entered this world of a metropolis at Hyde Park corner, the fashionable and west end of the town. To de- scribe to you my feelings I cannot. It was at the moment when all the fashionables and nobles and gentry were in motion. It appeard to mc that what I saw was magic—that the whole world had ,p+ -tl"'r.c", "1 r t ( « ) hau halfmore, The coiner io pay any rent whatever, and this also forms one of their list of grievances, Mr. Dunlop is determined not to yield to any of their demands, as from the price ofiron falling, it is less profllable to maaufacture. He is employed in repairing his furnaces and other necessary improvements. lie employs more | than 50 horses in driving the iron and lime-stones: It takes about 40,000 tons of raw material to make 4,000 of piz iroll, Above 20,000 tons of coal were formerly sold, besides the supply re- quired for the consumption of the 'works. The iron-works, which are beautifuliy situated on the banks of the Clyde; have at present a gloomy and ruinous appearance, very unlike the vivacity and briskness which has so distinguished them, It is a great number of years since they stood still. The inhabitants of Glasgow will miss the finely illuminated horizon which the flames cjeated, particularly in a dark night, and which served as a cheerful beacon to the traveller in the surrounding districts. It is the intention of the comhinators, if they succeed against Mr. Dunlop, fo strike against the rest of the coal-masters, one by (>ue, till they get them all completely under their control as to measurement andjirice. The are grand stand is determined to be made during next winter, and great apprehensions entertained that the community will at that time suffer severely for want of coal. Last winter the combination was not so well matured. Next sea- son there will be no stocks of coal at the pits, and a great rise in price may therefore be expected.— It is absolutely necessary that immediate steps should be taken on the subject, or public works and private families will sufler serious inconve nience from thewant of fuel, or be obli,ed.topiir- chase it at an enormous rate. This will cause the eyes, of the public to be more fully opened to the evil consequencesofcombination and thecolliers by over-doing the thing, will probably bring the house about their ears. -¡'f.
ACCIDENT ON ULVERSTONE SANDS.
ACCIDENT ON ULVERSTONE SANDS. On Saturday last the four-horse stage-coach left Lancaster for Ulverstone about three o'clock in the afternoon, the tide then serving" for crossing the sands of the bay of Morecambe, which it is necessary to pass in order to save a a circuitous route of nearly 30 miles. To those unacquaint- ed with the locality of this part of Lancashire, it may be proper to explain, the bay of Morecambe runs a considerable distance up the country, and at high-water presents a large arm of the Irish sea. When the tide is out, the sands are dry, and horses and carriages pass over from Hest Bank, oil the Lancashire side to Cark, a distance of ten miles, without any interruption but that ";ng from the necessity of fording the channels -vo or three fresh-water streams. These ■ims, which run with considerable velocity n the tide is out are, proviricially termed eaus the country people, but are in general passed i by horses, carts, and carriages, without in- enience. Guides are usually in attendance, precede the passengers, sounding the chan- with a long pole, to ascertain any alteration may have been made by the shifting of sands. ? coach was loaded both with passengers and gage, and as it is stated, rather too liea vily on lop. On entering the eau, which is about f way over the sands, the current was found usually strong, the wind also blowing at that, ie extremely fresh. From these combined ises the horses moved forward with muchdiffi- !iy, and when in the middle of the stream, the ach, with all its cargo, went over. Happily the sseugers all gained their footing, and after great orts topreserve their lives, reached the bank, he coachman, with great presence of mind, set work to release his horses, and succeeded in sttiug the harness so as to extricate three of ■ em, but his knife broke in his attempt to liberate ie fourth, which, with the coach and luggage, 'as carried out to sea, and hitherto there have een no tidings of them. Behind th^stagecoach, carriage with four horses followed, in which "ere two ladies, who, seeing the catastrophe that ook place before them, uttered the most piercing Creams for help the drivers, however prudently ept on a sleady course, and, though the current nd the wind were so violent as to tnreaten the lost imminent danger to them all, the carriage ot being loaded at the top, was less exposeu. and "u'tuiialely reached the opposite bank in safety, .ccidents have in several instances happened in -ossing these sands, but they generally onginat- J either in the ignorance or imprudence of the irties attempting to make the passage without uides or at an improper state of tide—but such an •cident as this has never before happened. There no remedy by any human art, for the possible (convenience of this passage, which, indeed, considered so trifling, that country people, who oss the sands weekly in market carts, duiing ieir livies would not easily be pursuaded to in- ease their journey by a circuit of 30 miles, when ie same point can be reached in ten miles by •ossing the sands. r; -41%4-

She continued to cohabit ■ th Waterfield after this period, and he was the ther of her last child.

On her return She'eoshead the neighbours said, "Hannah, you will not consent to live with your husband, d sleep with him to night, we will douse you the water." She replied, "she would rather ve a naked sword run through her than consent any such proposals." She next meditated ithin herself in what manner she should dispose following are her own words: On ionday (April 2-5), I sent one of the children to ,m with a message, that if he would accompany e in the afternoon to Foxton, on a visit to my latious, I would live peacably with him after- ards; he came, and seemed* quite overjoyed, • ying, Hannah, I hope you will stick to your omlse he then took the child, which I had by raterfle,id, in his arms, and kissed it several nes; matters being thus amicably arranged we -Ie carried the iiifant on the road he re- nted his observation, that' he hoped I would .t. for,,(It the promise I took him several times und the reservoir, eagerly watching a good op- rtunity to pusn him in, but there were too jnany ople abotit, and we made our way, along the wing-path, towards Foxton bridge, till we were tirely, as 1 considered, out of public view as 3 passed under the bridge, I said—Jem, you ok such a figure in that smock-frock, if you jn't pull it off I won't go any further he thew ;ave ile the child, after kissing it again, and took off his hat, which he placed on the ground, lay- ing his stick near it; he next proceeded to pull his frock over his head, and at that moment I plung- ed him headlong into the Navigation he rose to the surface of the water three times andcamenear the edge, but to prevent the possibility of his getting out, I jobbed him with the stick till he sunk to the bcttom all this I did without feeling the slightest emotion. I then proceeded towards Gumley where I crossed the Navigation again but in the centre of the bridge I feit, for the first time, soinetliiiicr check me, telling I should be hanged and a fiame of fire at the same moment seemed gathering round my body t the heat and pain I felt is indescribable. Having recovered from this sensation I prayed I might never feel a conviction thai I had done wrong. Waterfield, I declare, was wholly unconscious of my intentions having on the contrary repeatedly wished me to leave him and live with my husband, but to this I never would consent, and threatened self-destruc- tion if he persisted in our separation,"

Shake them well together, and cork it up in a bottle, with a quill through the cork, so that the liquid may come out of the bottles in small quantities at once. The bottle must be always well shaken when it is used. When the spot is observed where the maggots are, do not disturb them but pour a little ol the mixture iinnn *■ 9 u Utvin i *lrlt uP°n the snot, as much mi mite sa ft 1 11 °r and .t!le m^ots.

The sheep must how- ever, be inspected next day and if any of the maggots remain undestroyed, shake them off, or touch them with a little more of the mixture. A little train-oil may be applied after the maggots are removed, as sometimes the skin will be hard by applying too much ofthe liquid. Besides.the fly is apt to strike when it feels the smell of the oil, which may prevent a second attack. This method of destroying maggots is superior to any other, and it prevents the animal from being dis- figured by clipping off the wool, which is a com- mon practice in some countries.
