A iVivy Council was tins day held at the Vice-regal Lodo-e, Phtenix Park, when it was determined to issue a proclamation for the suppression of all assemblies^ tending to endanger, the public peace.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE '20.—The Sultan is uneasy at the position of the Russians atSizeboli. He know;- that they have received reinforcements,, and that far from thinking of evacuating that piace, they rather seem disposed to make use oi it, in order to support, them in an advance towards Adnanople. The Sultan is again using vigorous measures against the Softas 'or sextilis of the'Mosques,.of whom he is determined to make soldiers. The Mufti will not sanction this mea- sure. It is thought he will be deposed The Sultan has iust learned that Missolonghi and Lepanto have fallen into the hands of the Greek rebels, fie does not seem to be concerned at it. because the English bave promised him to get those places restored. In .4.- fact, their Consul at Egina has just sent word hither that e had protested against the occupation of them. Lastly, hopes are entertained that within two months the English will have a squadron in the Black Sea. Nobody at Constantinople will be surprised at this, for an offensive alliance is openly spoken of between Tur- key, Persia,, and Great Britain. Of what use will that be if the Russians pass the Balkan £ We hear of the opening of the campaign hy General Paskewitsch, of a new revolt in Arabia) which engrosses all the attention of tke Pacha of Egypt. We hear of ftesh troubles in Bosnia, atid-it would not be surprising if we should hear that Servit- had risen in favour of the Russians. On the other hand, it appears that the plague, which had manifested itself at Gallacz, has spread into Arabia, and even to Odessa. It prevails in the camp of Schournla, at Sophia, and in several viilageson the bank of the Hebrus. It may be soon brought to Constantinople. The country of Thrace presessts one vast scene of desolation, most of the vil- lages-are destroyed or deserted, tlit- inhabitants having rted" to the towns or the mountains. '———

STREETS OF LONDON.—Whoever toe see the streets of London in their most singular aspect should mount his horse and ride through them between three and four o'clock on a summer's morning-. What a j contrast do they present, compared with Sheir appear- ance at the noon-day hour! their solitude is almost appalling. Now and then a party of half a. dozen persons may perchance be met returning home from the preceding night's revel. It seein3; a ci-ty devastated by oive- (ircitd-f zl calamity. The very watchmen are silent, and mostly asleep, in tlieii- The streets can commonly be associated with nothing less resem- bling them in /character than their- aspect at such an kour. Clear of smoke g,nd endless in extent, with a pure atmosphere and sunshine over them, they seem operated upon> by enchantment; the inhabitants appear dead,, or exiled from their dwellings. It is a if there were a death in every house, and the closed shutters tokens of mourning and funera-1. But the unbroken; inexorable dead silence is, after all, most startling, when we find it, ivhcee daily and hourly, for years, we have been stunned by noise and deafened by uproar. Yet in a few hours all will again present the same busy, noisy, smoky, obscure appearance man and art will arise and extinguish nature, and every thing, will; as- sume its accustomed character. TOBACCO.—'The rage for Tobacco planting: in this county (Wexfoid) almost exceeds belief. We have known some acres of potatoes in a very forward statc dug tip and destroyed, for the purpose of substituting this newcomer. This is not, however, so much to be wondered at, if" as we are assured, the latter produces from ^'100 to J6150 per acre; but there is considerable trouble and expense,, as well.. as risk., attending the culti vatiom. The number of growers in-thrs cou-hty is much greater than it was last yearr and there is no dJubt it would' have been considerably increased if the prtffess öfsàving the tobacco: had been-more generally understood. Before the young plant has taken root, various methods are resorted to in order to protect it from te sun. Some use paper, others oyster shells, but principally about Enniscorthy smal-l flower pots are used, which are purchased atone pound a, thousand. There are 2,250 plants to" an acre. They are selling at from Is. to 2s. per hundred. It is necessal, y to watch the plants to prevent theft. A- few nion its- ago. Lieutenant Atkin, R N.j having occasion to go into his garden at Rose Rock, about 11 o'clock, discovered a man stealing his tobacco plants.- The, fellow had filled a basket, and had stripped offbis inexpressibles, which he had nearly filled, when Mr. Atkin approached. In his alarm, he abandoned both the basket and the pantaloons, and clearing the wall, effected his escape. -Wexford Herald. Lately, the wife of a farmer's hind, in the vicinity of thislown, wasafflicte(i with a long and tedious illness, which baffled the skill of ttio factiltyi and nearly ex- hausted the patience of her husband, who, finding that medicaments were uselessly administered, concluded that she was suffering under the influence of witchcraft. He therefore determined to seek revenge on the witch by a stratagem which he was informed had often proved sue essful.. He accordingly procured a black hen, which he killed, in order to ubtain the heart: this he took, at midnight, stuck it full of pins, and hung it before the fire to roast, by virtue of which ceremony the witch was expected to make her appearance. He next leaded a gnnr and anxiously awaited her coming to the door, with a firm determination to shoot her; but although the black. lien's heart was kept roasting till it was aJmostrburnt to-a cinder, and the pins-were nearly red-hot, the witch chose not to approach his dwelling that night, which to him was a most grievous disappointment !-Newcastlc Courunt. A very extraordinary leap, performed by a horse called Chesterfield, and rode by Col. Russell, took place at Melton Mowbray, during a run with the cele- hrated QUllr-nhounds. The animal leaped the amazing distance of eleven yards three in dies, being one of the most surprising leaps in the an-nals of hunting. It appears that the gallant Colonel, in the eagerness of the chase, in making a leap over a fencerwas not aware, of a wide dike or brook that was on the opposite side, or he would not have chanced so hazardous an exploit the horse, litmever, cleared both fence and brook.— Leicester Herald. EXTKAOUDINAHY W.\GERS-\V agers have been laid- at Maestricbt, between some respectable merchants tin re, to a considerable amount, that pigeons taken from thence to London, would, when let loose here, reach Maestricht in six hours. Forty:tvvo pigeons were .brought over in the Attwood steam-packet on •Thursday se'nnight about noon, and were marked in the cotirse of the day by a person connected with the :Dutch Embassy here, and Friday morning at 26 mi- s past eight o'clock, the time agreed upon, they were let loose, and proceeded on their aerial voyage.

A T/IIEGEIX LIBEL ON THE LORD MAYOR.At the Old Bailey Sessions, Thursday, the Grand Jury brought a true-bill against Henry Thwaites, the younger, and others, the proprietors of the Morning Herald newspa- per, for a misdemeanour, in publishingan alleged libel in that Journal, on the 10th instant, upon Messrs. Thompson, Foreman and Co., iron and lead mannfac- ttuers and merchants in the citv of London. The al- leged libel was to the following effect" AN exten- sive house in the city, in the iron and lead trade, yes- d terday borrowed ^100,000 of the Bank of England. These trades, are in a very bad state," Late on Saturday evening last, an elderly woman, named Francis, residing at Ashton, near Oundle, in a fit of derangement ran out of her house, half appareled, and maJe the best of her way to Polebrook, where, observing a liyht in a cottage, she rapped at the door begged a night's lodging under some plausible pretence. Her request was complied with, and she went to bed. In the morning it was discovered that she had cut her throat with a penknife, but not so effectually as to cause deatly. A surgeon was sent for, :,who dressed the wound, and the poor woman was removed in a-cart to her- house at A-shton, where in the course of the day she actually left the bed and made another suicidal attempt, by sliding into a well; but she was prevented from consummating her object.

Having, in the course of their perambulations, reached Addle-craag Hall, began to amuse himself by gathering bilberries, when he per- ceived a viper, of about the length of sixteen inches, endeavouring to hide itself in the ling. Mistaking the reptile for a common snalce, (which are considered harmless,) he held it np by the tai^ and irirrnediately let it go again. This he repeated several times, until, from the disposition it' showed to sting him, he became apprehensive, and put his foot upon its-keeping his hand at such adisliance as, he thought, would he out of the reach of its bite. The adder, however, sud- denly twisted, and bit ]liar. near tlje",end of the thumb, inflicting a wound not larger than would lie caused by the point of a needle. The man's arm was speedily swelled tb a most enormous size, while a large lump gathered near the arm-pit, and his botly also-greatly enlarged.

SINGULAR CHARACTER.—Among the itiedlejf of per- sonages which the Bath and Bristol r'aces last week collected on Lansdown, there Was none more remark- able than an old beggait, who is we understand well knovvn at Ascot, and has attracted the notice there of most of the nobility attending his Majesty. This per- son wore an ancient triangular beaver, a la Napoleon, tiie three angles of which were kept togcitliei- by an iiron tack nail at the crown; and the rest of his costume, though perfect, had seen very considerable service. His feet were unencumbered by either sboes or stock- ings. His gait was' lofty and erect, approaching to a strut, and his address was distinguished by the free- ■ d< m and ease of a poulished gentjemanv with a slight dash of the condescending dignity of the nobleman. He addressed most of the fashionable gentry and no- bility on the ground by their names, and entered very freely into conversation with all the respectable part of the assemblage. The only means by which he prefer- red his claim beyond his conversation was an octasion. _al caper on. the light fantastic toe, which he achieved with considerable grace. When not so employed, he [occupied himself uith cocking an eye glass, set in rtisty ipon»; and sagpersded by a/paefc-tbr-tjad from his ,_pen buttoo hole, surveying the company witll an air of in- finite superiority and importanc e. He has certain set days when his consequence will not allow him to ac- cept of &ny donation bur silver, add when he politely declines*all copper contributionsChronicle. DOVBR,. JuiiY 14:—A> tremenxlons thunderstorm was visited this town and neighbourhood, in the cotri-se of this afternoon.—About three o'clock the heat of the sun was excessive, and the clouds began to present an awful appearance from the south west,, and hung like dark mountains in the terfitic array. At four the thun- der began to roll, and tiie rain and hail fell in masses, the contintit-d peals of thunder, and the vivid flashes of lightning, were trbly alarming, In about an hour the clouds broke,, and dispersed in* various direc- tions, chiefly towards the north eastand the blue sky again made its appearance between the openings.. The water rushed down the strlets im torrents,, and the road in some places, was covered more than two feet deep, while many of the lower stories were completely innn. dated. The hail stones were very large, and great dairtage must have been sustained by them. More than forty panes of glass were broken at the King's Arms Library, and many more must have shared the same fate, if carpets and floorcloths had not been thrown over them. Several panes were broken aIr the Custom house, the Ship Inn, and in other parts of tiie town, .Several vessels were passing the harbour, and many of them appear to have sustained considerable damage. An event of a very .'ingular character at present forms I the topic of conversation in the'fashionable circles. It seems that a stranger—a young man quite unknown to any :member of the great world—has been in the habit of at" tending, itni-ntro-dticed, aU the most fashionable evening parties which have been given during the present season. The manner in which the adventurer gained admission to these splendid entertainments was this:—He usually watched the time when parties began to arrive in quick succession and entering the hall, either followed one of, them up the stairs, as though he wore attached to it,, or passed the porter whilst his attention was occupied- with other arrivals. Once in the rooms, detection is almost impossible, owmx to the !a; ge number of persons present. The discovery took place in the foiiowin:; manner:—-The unknown had been dancing with Lady SeiVaJ—n—-n —-n, e,f the, Eui-I of a grand, party, sivenbythe Earl of A-g-u. He asked his partner to introduce him to her sister, whtchstMdtd. At this mo- t-men t the Countess of A—g- n ob«-tive'd him, adrift asked the Earl who he was. His lord hij 1 ksd at him, and de- clared that he did not know hhn and being somewhat surprised that neither, himself nor his lady was- acquainted with him, and he deternnned to ascertain from: himself who 11" Was. His Lordship accordingly took an opportu- nity of telling the stranger that hiS name had escaped1 his recollection. The young mail gave a name* and said that he had been introdnced to the Gewntess by the late Mar- chioness of Londonderry. His Lordship-informed his lady :of what had passed., She i aiH-pdkjtely observed that she had never been on terms of intimacy with the Marcshioness 'of Londonderry, and that thereioie the statement must be incorrect. His lordship's suspicions were now aroused. He told the object of them that the countess denied that he had been introduced to her in the manner he stated. Our hero became cm-lfnsed. He stammered out that there must he some mistake he wordd I-leall,to-morrow and explain it to his lordship," ahd then .left the party. He did not keep IJÎs word" for the Earl of A—-g—-n has seen him since. Two nights after he attempted to gain admission to a party given by Sir C..C—k—11 in Pic- cadilly. As he was passing before a party, the butler stopped'hirn, and asked^for-his nnm«v He refused to give. any, and Sir Charles Vfas called down. To Sir Charles he acknowledged that lie had not received an invitation, but. 3-aid he was a gentLeInan, and his card would prove, hoped, he should be pardoned for his indiscretion, and was allow- ed to depart. The.canl bore the name of an officer in the 9th Lancers; but S; i- Charles discovered nextday that the real owner of the title was not the indivsb't'! whom he had seen on the preceding night, sine that time the unknown has never repeated his attempt. What object this person had, whether he was mer of enjoying a joke, or contemplated some matrimonial specuiatiou^iemains nnxeplained.—Morning Pager. A robbery of a most daring description was lately perpetrated in Norwich. A man in the garb of a sai- tor, rather of a superior order, went into the King's Arms public-house, about ten in the morning, and asked for a pint of ale Mrs. Bessoy, the landlady, weht to draw the beer, and cliiring he? absence the villain fastened the outer door. Oil her return, he had drawn a black silk cravat wViiv-li he wore, ni> to his eyes, and he immediately said it was not ale but money that he wanted. He threw her down on the settle, drew a large knife, and with many imprecati- ions insisted upon searching her pockets, which, final- ly accomplishing, he took ftom her three sovereigns j and a half, and eighteen shillings and sixpence in silver, with which he escaped. Mrs. Bessey was nnich bruked aii(I cut in the arm dnring her defence. HORRIBLE ASSASSINATION.—A discovery was re- I cently made by Mr. Bridges, draper, &e. at Clare,: • Suffolk, that he had been defrauded by a journeyman, with whom one of his two apprentices, if not both have been implicated. The-journeymah had abscond- ,ed.. Early on Wednesday morning last the"appren' tices being in bed together,, one of them named Viall, cut the throat of his fellow apprentice,, named Creen, who walfasleep at the time, and although he was alive the same evening, but lftfle hopes are entertained of. his long surviving the wound inflicted by the murder- ous assassin, who has been committed to Bury gaol. SHAVING IN CHURCH-YARDS.^—Some centuries past it was usual in England for. the barbers to shave the parishioners in the church-yárd, on high festivals 0as Easter, Whitsuntide, &c.) before matins. The observance of this custom was restrained in the year •1422, by a particular prohibition of Richard Flem. iftyng, feshop of Liiicolnv "'1)R Y LODG ISC; S TO LET."—In Ireland this notice is often given by the; words "GOO,<J.âry lpdgi&gs|^ by which word dry, is: not meant lodgings wet or damp, Hut without board.

Hogarth :was rather below the middle size his eye was pecu- iliarly bright and piercing his look shrewd, sarcastic, and intelligent; the forehead high and. round. An accident in his youthhad left a scar on his brow, and he liked to wear his hat raised so as to display it. He was activeih person, bustling in manner, and fond of affecting a. little state and importance. He was of a temper cheerful, joyous, and companionable fond of mirth and good-fellowship desirous of saying strong and pointed things; ardent in friendship, and in Bentment."His lively con-versatiott knowledge of character-—his readiness of speeèland quickness of retort, made many covet his company, who were sometimethe objects of his satire; but he employed liis wit on those who were present, and spared or; de- fended the absent. His,personal spirit was equal to his satiric talents; he provoked, with his pencil, the p temper of those whom it was not prudent to offend: with Mm no vice nor folly found s-helter behind wealth, or rank, or power. As to the licence of his tongue, he himself often said that he never uttered that sen- tence aboufa living man, which he would not repeat gladly to his face as to his works, he always felt CDnsoioui^ of their merit,, and predicted with equal openness that his name would descend with no de- crease of honour. to posterity. He loved state in his dress; good order in his household, and the success of his works enabled him to indulge in the luxuries of a good table and pleasant guests. THE EVE OF THE BATTLE OF SALAMANCA, OR, FA- THER A.)fD'SON.At night the proximity of the two Armies, after the numferotis7 marches and manoeuvres of the preceding ibur days, indicated, to every soldier that, on the morrow, these harassing and, to them, unsatisfactory displays of generalship would' be ter- initiated, and on the affair being decided they would obtain Stbriefrespite. I felt no inclination for repose, p and having visited the outposts, slowly wandered to a short distance from the camp. The larger stars only were visible. The scene was as traaitjuil as, a Cqiurlchllie yard\. The piieS»of armsf, groupsi-of rtien, and: scattpr- ed tents; were diinly blended th the gaze. At this snomeiit a murmer fell upon my ear.-I approaebfed the spoffrom whence the sound proceeded it was of two voices, of a youth and a full-grown man., A few sieps farther brought me in sight of the latter. I looked on them attentively. Two figures were on the grdulid kneeling, an elderly man and a youth of.six- teen: Their faces were close together, their hands elevated in the attitude of.prayer, and-their heads di- rected upwards; their words now dropped distinctly on my ear I recognised the elderly one, a most me- ritorious- soldier, who had risen from the ranks to a lieutenancy. Two days before, his only son had ar- rived from England as an ensign in* the same corps with his father, who was justly proud of his commis- sioned son, a fine promising lad, fresh from school, and from the quiet home of his boyhood now all at oucecastilito the arena of death. Could it be WÖri-' dered at if his young spirit quailed at the prospect be- fore him, when he compared, it with all he had left behind in his native land ? That night he had with- drawn with his parent into the solitude of the encamp- :ment,.where I beheld that father and that son, unseen by them, invoking the Father of All at that midnight hour. The prayer of the son was interrupted by many a sob his fatrer's low but earnest voicte in vain whispered consolation; the youth felt awfully op- pressed by the sense of his new and startling position in, commencing his perilous career. Distinctly I heard his; young heart unfold all its latent apprehen- sions and uttered all its doubts and dismays., and then 'he sobbed bitterly,, casting himself on. the arms of his kneeling father, whose voice rose louder a&lie appeal- ed to Heaven to strengthen and shield his boy in the hour of combat. Down he turned his face on his son's and kissed him, with a low whisper.; To that son the glory of a soldier's fame and a soldier's death appeared ivain and unenviable; he wished to forsake his dismal trade to pursue an humbler and unaspiring course: in the midst of civil life, and in the absence of peril; but the older soldier would not" listen to these roq:u s s; he did not chide or upbraid his son, lie knew that na- ture was strong,, and must hold, her course uncon- ollê(t/'A: lotfg 'SlJ en<w ensue{l" the soos-of'the),Hth rtfoHedt. A long silence ensued, the sob» of the youth became less frequent, and at length both arose, the son with a lighter and bolder heart,, forfined by the. spirit which had regained the mastery, and by the :prayers which had not been,unheard or unheeded. The father placed his arm round the youth, and both walked leisurely away. The son did his duty at Sa- il lamanca, his conduct, was especially noticed and ap- lie behaved like ayqung lion, and was in 'the thickest of the djeatli-storm till the close of day.
