Lymington promises a revival of visitants this season; the dissolution of many military bodies has contributed to this effect. A late Hampshire Telegraph states, that the distresses which the lower classes at this moment feel are powerfully affecting. Numbers make application to Portsea poor-house, but that house is filled; and the towns throughout present hundreds of half-fed, halfclothed persons, who have not yet applied for relief. A ship lying in Portsmouth harbour has been chartered to proceed to the North of Ireland, to convey from thence five hundred persons to New York.

The great superiority of this drill over others, consists in its dropping the beans in bunches, of from five to seven at a given distance. A great part of the cloth-workers of this county are now, owing to there being no foreign markets, thrown out of employment. Their situation has occupied the serious attention of the Corporation, who, together with some of the inhabitants, bave kindly subscribed to afford them temporary relief. Married.] Lieut. Thos.

A petition from the inhabitants of Taunton has been presented, within the month, to the House of Commons, to take into its serious consideration the nature and operation of the several taxes upon leather, and to remove this burthen, so destructive of one of the most important manufactures of the kingdom. The farmers and dairy-men of Somerset, Dorset, and Devon, have lately petitioned Parliament, complaining of the distresses of the butter-farmers, and praying for relief. A second petition on the same subject, and from the same counties, sets forth, that the produce of the farms has been rendered unsaleable by the introduction of foreign butter and cheese. A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the clergy recently took place at Bedminster, in the diocese of Bath and Wells, when a series of energetic resolutions were unanimously adopted, on the subject of the projected Bill, entitled---" A Bill to consolidate and amend the Laws relating to Spiritual Persons holding Benefices and Farms, and to Residence and Provision for Curates."

The whole of the anchorage of the Sound, and the foundation of the break-water at Plymouth, are about to be minutely inspected by means of a divingbell. Commendable exertions are making to establish a colonial trade from Plymonth. One of the paper-mills of Messrs. Oxenham and Pim, at Wear, between Exeter and Topsham, was completely destroyed by fire.

Letters from Barbadoes have, within the month, communicated the afflicting particulars of a murderous insurrection among the negroes there; before they could be subdued, they destroyed sity-seven sugar estates, and two thousand of the unhappy men were killed. They affirmed, that the British legislature had granted them freedom, which their masters withheld. The future policy on this subject merits the most solemn consideration of liberal statesmen. Died.] At Malta, General Thomas Murray. At Calcutta, 31, mr. Thomas Holmes Ceal. At Leghorn, 70, Simon Fraser, esq. a resident merchant there. At Paris, the female Hottentot, called the Hottentot Venus, after an illness of three days. Her body exhibited no visible trace of malady, except some spots of reddish brown round the mouth, legs, and sides. Her size and enormous protuberances are not diminished, and her hair, extremely curled, has not become lengthened, as is usual with negroes in illness, and after death. At Grenada, 59, Sir Charles Shipley, the Governor. Sir Charles was a Major General in the army, and eldest Colonel of Engineers, in which corps he received his Commission at the early age of 14 ;---35 years of his career were passed on a foreign station, and during which he frequently obtained thanks in approbation of his services. In the recent expedition against Guadaloupe, Sir Charles commanded in second under Sir James Leith; Sir Charles was interred on the second of December, not only with every distinction due to his rank, but with honours even more flattering--the regrets of every individual from the highest to the lowest station in the colony, which he governed with justice, moderation, and fidelity. He has left three daughters to mourn with his widow their irreparable loss. 1 Our usual Supplementary Number will appear on THE FIRST of AUGUST.

Mountains.----The National Intelligencer contains a communication from an officer at West-Point, giving the altitudes of several of the high mountains in the United States. The following is an abstract view :-- *White Mountains. High peake base of the mountain. Catskill Mountains. Round top High peake base of the mountain.

In 1813 immense numbers travelled in a contrary direction to the north; but this season (1816) finding their customary food scarce and unripened, are returning to a warmer and more auspicious climate. teresting Observations connected with his pro- tow upon it. The Harmonic Composition of fessional duties. WEBBE'S "When winds breathe soft," need only to be heard ;---the feeling and delicate touches of expression of MOZART'S" Ah! how sad the days appear;"--together with Dr. CALLCOTT'S" Peace to the souls of the Heroes;" are sufficient in themselves to recommend the selection of the "Orphean Lyre;" we, however, cannot omit to mention the names of Mazzinghi, Stevenson, Shield, Danby and Clarke. whose refined taste in musical science are too well known to need comment. The selections from the works of these celebrated composuists have been made with much judgment and care, and we have no hesitancy in saying, these Glees eannot be too strongly recommended to Vocalists in singing; they are free from any vocal intricacies;---the Melodies proceed with a chaste ease, and in no instance transgress the compass of a common voice. The Harmonies are exceedingly well arranged, and the instrumental accompaniment for the Piano Forte judiciously marked with such care and precision, as to take up all the points of each part. As the execution of the ORPHEAN LYRE greatly redounds to the credit of the Artist, as well as to the honour of this town, we beg leave to express a hope, while complimenting him upon the neatness and elegance of his work, that he will persevere in the undertaking, and we sincerely wish that the Publisher may be induced to continue the publication with the addition of another volume.---Cent. The White Cave.---Extract of a letter from a gentleman resident in Kentucky, formerly an inhabitant of the county of Worcester, July 1815. "The White Cave is about a mile from the Mammoth, and, I think, far exceeds it in beauty though of much inferior dimensions. We were here ushered into a superb hall, through the middle of which runs a partition of beautifully petrified pillars and pilasters, standing so near each other, that, except at two or three natural doors, a person cannot pass from one room into the other. At the top, where they are attached to the dome of the cave, they are decorated with the most fanciful workmanship. Here may be seen, in their greatest beauty, all the orders of the Grecian architecture,Corinthian capitals, Ionick bases, Dorick columns, and Gothic walls and arches. The partition extends 50 or 60 yards.-The arch overhead is ornamented with festoons and stalactites, arranged with wonderful ingenuity and in many parts of the cave are figures still more fantastic; among which is one called The Eagle, from its resemblance to that bird; another The Indian Queen, from its likeness to the human form. And, indeed, a strong analogy may be traced here between these natural phenomena and the choicest works of art. Chinese porcelain cannot exceed, in beauty of form or skill in configuration, the natural dishes that in many places cover the area of the cave. Near the middle is a bason of an oval form, of three or four barrels capacity. which appears as if formed by the plastic hand of the potter. The sides of the vessel, which are about an inch thick, and several inches deep, are fluted and scolloped as skilfully as the most elegant vases. A part of the reservoir is covered with an incrustation like the deck of a boat. The water it contains possesses a crystalline purity. Near this bason is a shallow pool, round which, on account of the straitness of the passage, we were obliged to creep like quadrupeds a few yards, to where we came to a mound covered with dishes of various sizes and forms, full of clear water. The edges of these vessels run in waving zig-zag lines, the sides fluted, and, like those of the honey-comb, each partition forming the side of two cells. Our senses only can give us a perfect idea of the beautiful diversity of these figures, delineated by nature's great Architect and Potter !" The" Orphean Lyre."---There has just issued from the graver in this town, a volume of Music, with the above title.* After examining this work, we feel it due to the publisher, to accompany our potice of it with something nore than a general remark; for the execution and selections of the "ORPHEAN LYRE" are really of a stamp, that the more detailed we give our opinion of its component parts, the greater will be the tribute we must bes It is published by S. H. PARKER, Union Circulating Library, No. 4, Cornhill. L. Baldwin, esq. Professor Farrar, and their Associates, have completed the survey of the contemplated route for a navigable canal from the Connecticut to the Merrimac ; and have ascertained that Sunapee lake, through which it was proposed to carry the canal, is about 800 feet above the level of both rivers. In Newark, (N. J.) Sunday Schools were formed in May, 1815. During the summer, the number of scholars gradually increased to 440, of all classes, rich and poor. The schools are now confined to the poor; and very particular attention is paid to the people of colour,of whom upwards of 200 of both sexes and of all ages, regularly attend every Sunday. The female department of the coloured people is conducted by pious young Ladies. In Providence, a Sunday School is about to be established, under the direction of the Providence Auxiliary Bible Society, to promote the reading of the Scriptures among people of colour. This society has already four other Schools in different parts of the town. Messrs. Cummings & Hilliard, Boston, have published a collection of practical Forms of Conveyancing; by Benj. Lynde Oliver, esq. Professor Hedge, of Harvard University has published an elementary treatise on Logic, which has been adopted for the purposes of recitation, and as a text-book of lectures, both at Cambridge and Bowdoin College. Judge Reeve, of Connecticut, has published a volume of his Lectures on the domestic relations of Baron and Feme, Parent and Child, Guardiau and Ward, Master and Servant, and on the powers of Chancery; with an Essay on the terms Heir, Heirs, and Heirs of the Body. Messrs. E. Little and Co. of Newburyport, have published the twelfth volume of Massachusetts Term Reports. A new work entitled A Theory of the Mutual Rights of the Sexes, on a plan calculated for the sentiments of a free, independent, and liberal people; by Hannah M. Crocker, is proposed to be printed in Boston. |
