MH. EBITOH, Your Cambrian Poets seem particularly attached to Anacreon, a taste we probably imbibed some 50 or 60 years ago, under our schoolmaster Durell, of Cowbridge but, if we imitate that Poet's manner, we ought to adopt lU5 measure also. I therefore beg to lead the-way. BRIGHT bumpers, what a treasure, To quaff them's matchless pleasure; Now, now, we're blest with leisure, Let's drink, boys, without measure. Each, crown'd with Phrygian bonnet, In turn sing loncl his sonnet; 13ut never, never quarrel, Although we drain a barrel. Next, take, cold beef and carrot, Still prattling each like parrot; Or call for Cheshire toasted, Or oysters raw, or roasted. Tenbv or Mumble oysters, Fresh all from Neptune's cloisters; Yfct, when the) 're nicely pickled, Our palates best are tickled. Again to wine returning, We next with love are burning; Thus sport, till life decay, Sirs "When we must march away, Sirs From love, yet hope, when dying, To lasting joys we're Hying H.

LITERARY, PHILOSOPHICAL, &c. INTELLI- GENCE. Mr. L. W. Dillwyn, of Swansea, and Air. Dawson Turner, of Yarmouth, are-engaged, in preparing a Na- turalist's Guide through England and Wales, designed to •assist Naturalists, by presenting them at one view with the plants, &c. which they may expect to find in the different counties. To rcitder file work complete, they are now endeavouring to obtain, from the learned and curious, f very possible information as to the loci uutales of any of the rarer animals or plants. The Fifth Fasciculus of the British Confervas, by Mr. Dillwyn, will, be speedily submitted to the public. A charitable institution, embracing an intricate class of diseases, those of the eye and the ear, is about to be in- stituted in London. Mr. Edlin. of Uxbridge, has just completed a treatise en the art of bread-making. The.intention of the author has been to concentrate in one point of view every thing that is at present known respecting the manufacture of • .brotd, in order that the knovfledge of an intricate and interesting subject, which has hitherto been very impcr- fectly explored, might be diifused through every class. of society. The study of the arts and sciences is making a rapid progress .in Russia. The manufacture of paper is now prosecuted with very considerable activity and skill at <iiiier?nt paper-mills, which have been established in the vicinity of Petersburgh. Mr Bainbridgeof Ilolborn-Hill,has invented a new spe- cies of Flageolet, which, in its performance, requires no pinching or haf-covering for the upper notes. Among se- veral oiheradvajitages over the common Flageolet, the pre- terit tustrument possesses the important one of rendering., the lingering, by its new apertures and keys, as methodical <md as regular as that of the German llute.

NEWSPAPERS.
NEWSPAPERS. ■from "MODERN LO.VKON, being the History and present ktate vj the British Metropolis," lately published. The newspapers of London are published either every illuming or evening, except on a Sunday or three times a ■week in the evenings; 111, twice a. ^reel: ort "tV.fsday 'and Saturday or once a week on Saturday evening or Sunday morning. At the-lowest average estimation of a week to- gether, not fewer than thirty thousand of these papers a day, or a hundred aud eighty thousand weekly, are printed and sold it would not, perhaps, be too high an estimate which should rate the average daily number at thirty-five thousand. These- cost the public an expense of about se- ven hundred and fifty pounds a day for papers; and the expense for the insertion of advertisements may be about two hundred pounds a day. The sum total for one year, is full four hundred thousand pounds sterling. It may be stated, that the intelligence in these London newspapers are, ill other parts of Great Britain and Ireland, copied into about a hundred weekly papers,* of which a hundred and eighty thousand are also printed. ThcfS ft will be found that the people of- these kingdoms pay, annually, about eight hundred thousand pounds sterling for newspaper in- telligence. One half of that sum may be taken as the gross amount of the tax levied by Government upon this favourite article of Juxmv. The remaining four hundred thousand pounds are paid for the literature and knowledge of the newspapers; for the mechanical and mercantile la- bour requisite to diffuse that knowledge and literature in print and as interest upon the capital employed in this trade. Of all this, it is no satirical misrepresentation to af- firm, that not more than five thousand pounds a year goes firm, that not more than five thousand pounds a year goes to reward the genius, taste, erudition, and industry engage*! in these productions. There are at least 1<25 newspapers printed out of London, viz. in the different counties <> Lnglam1 Bl., Hales 1, Scotland 16, Ireland kti, Jersey 1 some of these arc printed TWICF, and others TUB ICE a week. The gross amount above stated, (180,000) we believe to be tolerably correct.—EDITOR.
NEW PATENTS.
NEW PATENTS. Mr. JOHN BYWATEK'S (L\OLTWGHUM)'TIV A NEW METHOD of CLOTHING and VNCLOTHlNO ilit SAILa r:f WIND- MII.I.8, while m MOTION. This invention consists in rolling or folding up to the 7.J:hip and unrolling and unfolding again, the cloths of common windmill sails, while in motion, by means of cylinders or rollers of any shape. as long as the sails, with a toothed wheel at one end of each, working either directly or indi- rectly into two wheels, without arms, which are hung so as to turn upon a ring of iron fixed to the shaft lead, close be- hind the back stocks, and which may be alternately stop- .Y p ped, so that the wheels at the ends of the cylinders must directly, or by means of a connection of wheels culled car- riers or nuts, work into them, by revolving round, them through the power of the wind acting upon the sails, so that the cylinders must necessarily turn round and roll on or fold, or unroll or untold, the cloth which is fastened to them, according to the respective wheel-without arms which is stopped for that purpose. It appears that M r. Hy water's leading design was to meet the wishes of the millers, and, as he himself expresses it, to do their business, in their own way, by rolling the cloth, or any part of it, Mp to the whip, in an easy and expeditious manner, by the agency of the miller himself, who, by pul- ling a rope within the mill, may reduce the surface of the cloth, and return it again at pleasure, while the mill is in motion. The machine is niadechiefty of cast-iron; it is cheap and durable without being cumhersomc; the construction is so simple, that it may be prepared for any mill by know- ing dimensions only and the time of fixing it will not be longer than eight or ten days. By means of Mr. By water's machinery, the miller, with- out stopping the mill, may, in a few seconds, unclothe the whole of the sails if necessary he may even gain more power, by exposing a greater surface of- cloth in low winds than he could prudently adopt, without the constant and ready controul which, by this invention, he will always be able to exercise over the wind. It shouhHikewise be observed, that the improvements above described are capable of being applied, at a small ex- pence, to old mills. ei rt Mit, PETHKR'S (Bristol) for c r: n TAIN METHODS_/«• prtr- VTSTLSG or CUHING SSIOKKY CIIIMNIE8. Supposing the chimney properly constructed, and the opening below no larger than necessary, Mr. Pether recom- mends that the top be completely stopped, and that the smoke should pass out on the. sides of tire chimney just be- low the top, by means of valves constructed according to the following method. The valve^, which, after his own name, he calls Petherons, are triangular, with the point hanging downwards. Although they may be made of at- most auy substance ilt for the purpose, Mr. P. prefers strong till plate, that is iron tinned over. The valves are to be suspended from the base by means of a strong brass wire, fastened to the upper edge, and traversing at the ends, through two pieces of brass or copper metal, well soldered to the sides of the machine. It is evident, tlrit as the valves open outwards, those of them against which the wind blows will by that jalone be kept close while the others, being affected Hy no exter- nal pressure, will give way to the ascending smoke, and .suffer it to escape with easi, NIH. JOHN BROWN'S (Foolc) fur IMPROVEMENTS in the WHEKI.8-(jf- CARIUAtiES. It would be impossible to do justice to this invention without the assistance of figures; we therefore merely an- nounce that it is applicable to windlasses, capstans, and to the hawse-hoies of ships, as well as to carriages; and that the patentee, mentions, among others, the following as advantages which wil) be gamed by the' adoption of his ptan 1. In the wheels of carriages, the friction between the box and axle-tree is removed, and the same number of horses will be enabled to draw a much heavier weight. 2. Capstans, windlasses, and hawse-holes, fitted up according to his method, will lighten the labour of heaving an anchor, and thus, in critical seasons, save anchor, cables, and even the ship's crew. MR. MICHAEL LOGAN'S (R--othcrhitlie) for a CONSERVA- TIVE LOCK,for PRESERVING the WHOLE QUANTITY (f WATER, which at present is EXTENDED in-the PASSAGE of VESSELS through LOCKS and for RAISING great bodies, or quantities of WATER to any ASSIGNED ALTITUDE, ^-C.$C. In this specification are first enumerated several mechani- cal and bydrostatical principles, upon which the invention depends; afterwards Yve are informed, that a grand reser- voir is to be built, equal in capacity to contain the whole quantity of water wanted for the lock. This reservoir is to be constructed parallel to the line of the canal, and under the bed of the upper level. The floor of the reservoir, where the canal does not exceed five feet depth of water, may be laid in the same place with that of the lower level, allowing for strength in the construction of the covering by which the water of the upper level is supported. Under the platform of the upper gates is constructed the subterra- neous passage of communication between the lock and re- servoir, through which passage the flux and reflux of the whole body of water wanted for the use of the navigation loll at each lock are alternately continued and preserved in the operation of the locks. Parallel to each side of the lock are constructed the galleries which contain jointly the whole quantity of water which is the effective power in the ope- rations of the lock. At the extremity of each gallery is sunk and established the shaft or pit which receives and de- livers, alternately, the whole quantity of water from and to the gallery, upon the flux and reflux of the lock, or in the ascending or descending of any vessel in her passage through it. Mn. JOSEPH WILKES'S (Meashmn, Derby)for a METHOD OJ MAKING PASTE. Boil a quantity of mealy potatoes, and mash them with- out peeling; then take as many and one third muse of raw potatoes, and obtain the starch or flour from them, by grat- ing them into a vessel of water, and reserving only the finer particles. The mashed potatoes are to he diluted, beat up, and passed through a sieve. They are then to be put into a boiler, and, when nearly boiling, the starch produced from the grated potatoes is to be added, and the whole boil- ed together about twenty minutes, during which it must be kept carefully stirred it is then patent paste, and is to be put into a wide vessel to cool.

mTtT-TOEES. ¡ The discovery we mentioned some-time ago, of white- washing the trunks of fruit trees, 1ms been found on trial to be useful in cleaning preserving- the bark, as well as in- creasing the quantity <rfi:fruit. Indeed, any mild applica- tion which washes oil', or removes the moss and insects, lendi to proinotevthe health, growth, and product of trees, skpposmg; other circumstances of,soil and situation favour- able but the following composition, recommended by the "P late Mr. Forsyth, gardener to his Majesty, is stated to be the most simple, cheap, and effectual method hitherto pub- lished: "Merely scrape off the loose bark, and. apply a mixture of cow-dung and ttrine only, raade to the consis- tence of a thick paint, and with a painter's brush cover the stenr carefully over, This softens the old scabrous bad., which peels, off during the following winter and spring, and is succeeded by a fine smooth new bark." AGRICULTURE. _■ FIRST REPORT FOR OCTOBER. It has been remarkably fine sowing time, and most of the wheat is got into the ground: what is up looks very promising. The turnips have come on very rapidly with the rain, and will produce much more keep than was at first expected. From the corn that has been threshed, we may calculate pretty certainly on the quantity produced. is in many places much injured by mildew, and .i will produce less than the mildewed wheat of last year and in the w.hole a very considerable deficiency will be found. Barley is of good quality, but short m quantity owing both to the little land sowed, and the little yield per acre. Oats will be found an average crop. Clover, when in full bloom, promised an amazing crop the resuit will be, that much will not pay for thresh- ing out the seed the quality will be good. Beans and Pease are a good crop, and the quality line. Corn has risen very rapidly. Perhaps when sowing is finished wheat may be a little lower but it must be extensive importation that any material reduction can he expected. But little barley as yet comes to market; 11.): cun much be expected till the stock comes to straw. 8ECOND Rf.rOl!T. The forward-sown wheats have generally planted we'l, although the clover-leys require more work than has been known for many seasons. The ryes and winter tares, got in early, have also a luxuriant appearance. The last year's crops of wheat, in most parts of Kent and Essex, and indeed the whole eastern district, thresh ill, and rise very rough and light from the flail. The same compla.nts are nearly prevalent in many of the western counties, .so that the best judges do not calculate the growth of i WH. at little more than half an average crop. Oats prove the most productive groin af the year, particularly the pota- toe kind, which are fine in quality. The, barley coun- tries are found defective. Potatoes turn out a great Crop universally. Turnips were never known stronger on the ground, nor promising fairer for a continuance of growtii; and rape-seed plan's shew equally, well, both tor feed and crops. The young clovers and latter-math grasses are every where in such plenty, as to keep hay in all parts within moderate prices. The hop markets have takett an unexpected start, and seem still to look upwards.—Wool, particularly fiue short fleeces, is considerably advanced, from all apprehension that all supplies from Spam will now ccase.-Smithfield having been abundantly supplied with all kinds of meat, even prime beef and mutton have sold low through the month but the last market experienced a little advance pig pork continues reasonable.—Lean stock, though plentiful, continues high priced, irom the great excess of green food. Store sheep and hoggets are somewhat cheaper but Scotch and Welsh runts maintain, through all the fairs, the last month's prices. MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. Large quantities of bullion have been imported from the continent, bv the Baltic, since we received ihe informa- tion in our report of last month. Gold and silver to the amount of between one and two millions sterling have been also detained in the Spanish frigates taken by Captain Moore, which may, in the end, come into circulation in England. Yet retail trade is still exceedingly embarrassed by the want of a sufficient quantity'of small silver and copper coin.' In Ireland, the Bank tokens for 5s. each have not at all given thxflrtlief wliic'h the public expected from them. The want of shillings and sixpences is, there, still matter of general and most vexatious inconvenience. The same dis- tress, though in some places not quite so strongly, is felt in England. Forgeries or counterfeits, of the Bank tokens, having' been, in great numbers, thrown into circulation, a suspicion has been thus, in spite of all the carestrf the Bank, excited against that currency, which, to a certain degree, cbecks its- traasit-ipna from hand to hand, and impairs its usefulness. The only change now in circulation, and that answers th? use of small retail trade, is of the Boulton- mint pennies and half-pennies: of which the use is, how- ever, very much impeded by shop-keepers, toll-gatherers, c6ffec-house keepers, keepers of gin-shops, and keepers of ale-houses, who find all their interest in rather giving change in counterfeit half-pence, which they may procure at six- pence for the four-and-twenty, and tlius;get cent, per cent. profit on them'. The trade between this. country and Spain has, especially smce the beginning of the present war, appeared to be so mutually advantageous, that there is nothing so tiyu-cl-i to be desired ,as the return of a time when a fair commercial treaty may give full scope to the trade on both sides, and adjust it in all its branches, so that the interest of the two countries shall, in its prosecution, not oppose, but mutually support one another. We have now indeed reasou to ex- pect, that as the breed of the Spanish sheep thrive in Eng- land, and their wool is even improved, we shall not conti- nue to depend on Spain jfiuc'h longer for all article of such indispensable use in our best woollen manufactures. But the wines of Spain might be advantageously preferred, for English use, to those which we now import from France and Portugal. And there might be arrangements in regard to the trade with Spanish America, which would render its opener freedoru to the English, a new benefit to the Spa- niards. It has been lately explained to the public, by a very in- telligent gentleman returned from Portugal, that in the best port wine there is now a large admixture of French and Spanish brandies. Thus we consume the produce of the French vineyards and distilleries, while we fancy that we are only taking genuine Portuguese produce in exchange for our own manufactures. The trade to the Russian port of Odessa, on the Black Sea, continually increases. The jealousy of the inhabi- tants of Marseilles has been much excited in consequence of their finding that Spain and other countries on the 'Me- diterranean now begin to procure from Odessa grain and va- rious other commodities which were before supplied at dearer rates from the South of France. The wines of Hungary, of which the excellence is well known, are now much used in the North. In Sweden, to which they are conveyed by Dantzick, Stettin, and Wolgast, tlle duty upon them has, to favour the importation, been re- duced lately, as low as that which is there levied on the I smallest French wines. Some of the most considerable banking-houses in Vienna and Constantinople have lately stopped payment. At Constantinople, especially, there is now all extreme scarcity of money. For the encouragement of the manufactures of Russia, the Emperor Alexander has, by a recent edict, forbidden the importation of cotton wool, and of chintzes and mus- lins made in India or Europe, by the way of the Baltic, for sale in those parts of his Majesty's dominions which are now adjacent to the Black Sea. It is obvious, that one end of this prohibition must be to favour the trade of Odessa and the other emporia which he now strives to establish in the south-east part of his dominions. The trade of France is reduced to a miserable condition by the exclusion, not only of British merchant ships, but now also of those of Sweden, and almost of those of Ame- rica, from the French ports. It is in consequence of the rica, from the French ports. It is in consequence of the disputes with the Swedes, that Bonaparte, in spite of all his malice, sees himself obliged to suffer the Dutch to con-' tmae (HC4F TOET&IRITITE INTERCEDE with real BRITAIN amidst all the' hostilities of the war.

Two letters from the French Amulet-of Marine, one ad- dressed to Jerome Bonaparte in America, and the other to the French Ambassador to the United States, have been in- tercepted and published. T'iic former reproaches Jerome with his low and groveling cmmeciioll-not marriage—with the amiable and beautiful Miss Patterson-—tells him in as plain language as words can express, that his brother, the Emperor of the French, has irrevocably determined Met to countenance the young person with whom Jerome has indis- creetly connected himself; and that if the latter has the boyish folly to persist in his attachment, and does not re- turn to France in the first French frigate, Bonaparte has fi- nally resolved, that he shall deprive Jerome of any partici- 'pation of the dignities and glory which may await his august family. We cannot for a moment think that the august and illustrious family of the upstart Corsican has in any degree been sullied by, a matrimonial connection with a virtuous yc-ung lady, who, by a fortune of 30,0001. gain- ed by her father through the means of the honourable ex- crcisc of his mercantile spirit and enterprise, has brought more wealth to the family of Bonaparte, by 30,000 times, than it ever fairly and honestly possessed.—The letter to the Ambassador intimates, that it is the order ef the Emperor, that in future no bills drawn by Jerome Bonaparte should be honoured.

It is rather remarkable that in the next year there will happen no less than seven Edipses, viz. five of the Sun and two of the Moon; but two of the former only will be part- ly visible in Great Britain. Last week was submitted to the hammer, the magnificent, remains of High-Meadow House, in the county of Gloces- jter, the seat and late residence of Lord Gage, once famed for its munificence and old English hospitality but time, the indiscriminate destroyer of palaces as weli as cottages, had-laid his ruthless hands, without mercy, on the contents of this once elegant mansion and the princely decora- tions exhibited for sale were valuab'e only as proofs of for- saken grandeur. Of near 500 pictures put up scarce any obtained the value of their original frames. The state beds aud tapestry were hardly capable of removal, parti- cuiariy the former, which though truly superb in their day, would' now scarce hold their rich and massy parts together to admit their taking down.

Etymology of the word Blanket.—" This year (1340) says Sir Richard Baker, Thomas Blanket, and some other in- habitants of Bristol, set up looms in their own houses for weaving those woollen cloths that have that name." The London papers have of late given us a wonderful account of A house in Cambridge, which, if any female enters, she is sure to depart, however short her stay, with a tear or rent in her gown, by the hand of some invisible agent. We know of nothing equal to this, except a more liberal and generous phantom, which about 40 years ago occupied an, old haunted or ghost-breeding house in White- friars, Chester, where, if any female entered with a tear or slit in her gown, an invisible hand always very kindly sewed it up Tradition reported, that about 40 years be- lore that period, a murder had been Committed in the house on the body of a sempstress ;-the good lady handled her needle for years in this way with uncommon dexterity A robbery has within these few days been discovered at the War-ofliee.
