CURIOUS WAGER.—We underhand that Mr. Burton, the celebrated Juggler,, has undertaken, for a wager of 5 ) guineas, to walk in stilts eight riiiies within the hour, to be decided in the course of a •month.—Our readerssball be further inform- ed when theline of road is determined upon. The 'greatest activity is now using in com- pleting the Bridge over the Menai, and the pro- ceedings of the workmen, during, the time of high water, when the chains are passed over on large to complete the works on the Anglesey side, are well woith observing.—We trust, how- ever, that this and the Bridge over the Conway, will be opened on the smite lLa f, to avoid the in. ference of atiundue preference. At Llanidloes, on Saturday, a farmer's son in the parish of Llaudinam, was fined in tire mitigated penalty of 90s. and costs, for wilfully being at such a distance from his waggon on the Turnpike-road, that he had not the government of his horses, It is hoped thatthis will t>e*u!lieient warning to others not to offena in like manner, as the Magistrates 'are determined toinHiet the full penalty in every case brought before them in future. It is to be •regretted that there are not short extracts of the Act made and distributed over the country, in- forifling aii whom it may concernnf the eaSes in which fines may be levied upon conviction before Magistrates.—By the-last Act, Waggoners are liable to a fine of 40s. for riding on the shafts, for negligence or misbehaviour, for being at alis- tance from their carriages; or for any coach wag- gon, &c. not having the owner's name, or for not keeping- on the left side the road, or obstructing another person passing, &c.-lf the owner is dri- Those who are affected with pulmonary com- plaints should neversit opposite the fire.

Aitwicun Paper. A poor woman, of the name of Hannah Met- j calf, died in llorburv Workhouse last Saturday in the 70th year of hor age, who took her bed five and forty years ago, owing to a disappoint- mentin love, and never rose from it lo the day of her death. It is calculated that this pauper had cost the parish < £ "500.—Hull Rockingham. The Greeks erected many of their most stu^ pendous edifices without cementation, from which it has been inferred that the appearance of mortar j in any bijilding is a proof against its antiquity.— This notion, howevef, is contrbverted at once by reference to the pyramids of Egypt, in which mortar was undoubtedly used. The superititious belief in sorcery, is not, it seems, wholly extinguished even in this to en- lightened age." A mechanic at Weymouth la- bours under the strong delusion that he is acted unon by the potent influence of the Evil Spirit, through the agency of a poor old woman, the of whom always throws him into a shiver- ing fit of terror, and from whose presence, when ever, she happens to meet him, he always flies with the same precipitation as if he were pursued by all the furies of Tartarus.

OTHELLO NOT A BLACK.-Tlfe News of Litera- ture proposes to get rid of the difficulty arising from the supposed necessity of blackening Othel- lo's face, by which much ofthe effects ofthe coun- tenance on the stage is lost. It considers it a gross error to make him a negro. "Othello," it ob- serves, was a Moor, bnt not a blackamoor; and though in the tragedy he is called an old black ram,' there is no reason to suppose that he was much darker than the generality of Spa- niards, who indeed are half-moors, and compared with the fair Venetians, he would not even then be black. There is great variety in the colour of the Moors, and there is no reason why Othello should be of the deepest hue swarthy or tawny, he might be, but not black, nor even so dark as to conceal all change of colour. GAMBLING.—Saturday, in the Court of King's Bench, Mr. Josiah Taylor, convicted for keeping a notorious gambling-house in" PatI- Mall, was sentenced to pay a fine of ^gT>,000. to the King, be impYisoned,for twelve months, and enter into sure- ties for five years, IiiiiiselfiiitiO,000, and four others in000 each. Among the absurd deceptions attempted to be practised-, is that of two Insurance Offices with the same Directors and other Officers with this dif- ference only, that in one case the names are ar- ranged alphabetically, and in the other promiscu- ously. The same Resident Manager is stated to, reside in two different parts of the town. IN WANT OF A HUSBAND.—A young lady was told by a married lady, that she had better pre- cipitate herself from off the rocks of the Passaic falls into the basin beneath, than marry. The youog lady replied, I would, if I thought I should find a husband at the bottom A young man, servant in the family of Mr. T. Whitehead of Ramsgate, was recently attacked with a paralytic stroke, which considerably affect- ed his left side, and deprived him of the use of his arm and leg.

Kendall, have left t nvir for Liverpool, where they will embark, with Dr. Richardson and (he composing the expedition, in the Cottimbia packet, for New York, from whence they proceed to UpperCanada, and then to Fort Chepewya, oil their way to the Polar Sea, by' the Mackenzie River. On reaching its northern extremity, Captain Franklin and Lieutenant Back, with part of the expedition, proceed to the west- ward. in the hope of reaching Behring's Straits; while Dr. Richardson and Mr. Kendall, with the other party, proceed to the Northward, tracing the coast ofaiiiei-ica. if possible, to the Copper Mine River. Not long before the departure of Captain Franklin from town, he received a message from Akaitcho, the Indian Chief, who accompanied him on his former journey, that he and his tribe were perfectly satisfied with the stores and additional presents which had been sent to them, and that they would he willing Uraccompany him on ano- ther expedition. In the neighbourhood of Soho-square, a Mr. G. who has scarcely attained the age of thirty years, and is a clel-k in a highly respectable mer- cantile house in the city, formed aii intimacy with a young lady, the daughter of a bookseller atthe west end ofthetown, of the most attractive -personal charms, and possessing at the dticèase of tier mother an ample fortune. Repeated inter- views took place with the consent and knowledge of the young Jady's parents, and a day was about beiirg fixed for the marriage cereinony, when un- fortunately at one of these meetings a dispute 1 arose in which Miss S. doubted the sincerity of i'iVIr.fl.'s afflictions, which was carried to such an extent that the young lady declared that she 0 se,, ne ver woutd become the bride of a man possessing the illiberal id'Cas of Mr. G., and peremptorily de- sired him to leave her presence and never again intrude himself. Mr G. became paralyzed at such aLl unprovoked declaration, but endeavoured by all the language in his power to convince his -fair companion of the cruelty of her resolution, bnt all in vain, as she firmly declared"her<mind' Was fixed, and no power would induce her to change list" determination. During this time the agitation of Mr. G. became evident, and he in a moment of frenzy seized a large knife that lay on the table, and inflicted a severe wound on his throat, from which tiie blood flowed in torrents;- Misit S. seized" the jlestvuctive woflpon hand of Mr. G. (who, from the loss of blood, ferl to the ground), and alarmed the immates Of the house, who having entered the room, and seeing Mr. XL lyinif on the ground bleeding, sent ii-nii ly for medical assistance and the wound w;t,s and the unfortunate gentleman was Conveyed in a coach to his iii the City- road; where he remains in a very dangerous state. The young ladv since the above melancholy oc- currence, has fallen into a very desponding state re;nsinn all kind of nourishment, notwithstanding the entreaties of her parents, who are in a state of the greatest alarm for the safety of their only daughter. The annals of crime have seldom exhibited an instance of more detennined profligate obduracy than was displayed in the case of a man named ingrain, who was lately executed at Maidstone, for an extensive burglary at Sheerness. This man had been a servant in several gentlemen's families, but having at length lost his character, could obtain no fresh service, and became a pro- fessed thief. He was one of the persons engaged in the robbery at Berkhampstead, for which three of his accomplices suffered death upon his evi- dence. He was no sooner released from custody, than he betook himself to his former course with renewed assiduity and success. At the period above-mentioned, he acknowledged having com- mitted 12 or 14 burglaries and between the time of his release and final apprehension in Novem- ber, he committed many more. From the period of his conviction, though not the smallest hope of pardon was held out to him, he continued in a state ofthe most hardened levity and depravity he boasted of his exploits, declaring that he had robbed every person 8e had ever lived with, and that if he had lived longer, he would have robbed many more. On his way to execution, he nei- ther expressed, nor appeared to feel, the least sorrow for his offences, or dread of his ignomini- ous punishment; and just before they were turn- ed off, one of his fellow sufferers requesting some of his acquaintances to see his clothes delivered to his wife, Ingram tauntingly turned round, and asked him it' he wished his wife to wear his breeches, .-Ttiere is no tilne-spent so stupidly as that which inconsiderate people pass in a morning between sleeping avid wakiii(r., He who is awake, may be at work or at play he who is asleep, is receiving the refreshment necessary to fit him for action; but the hoars spent in dozing and slumbering are wasted with- out either pleasure or profit.

The degree of familiarity with the Hebrew tongue which is in- dicated by the words we have underlined, is by no means so uncommon as the Scotsmanilllagines, We would e igage to find ten thousand children in London who know not only as much Hebrew, but as much Syriac, Arabic, Chaldee, Ethiopie, and as much Greek and Latin, as some who Jill a pulpit." Another Company has started with a capital of 800,0001. It is going to make a grand street through London, and to improve and widen the streets lead- ing to llampstead, Highgate, Islington, &c. A surveyour is at the bottom of it, and there are al- ready bankers, solicitors, secretaries, and direc- tors appointed. The profits are to be immense, and John pull is to share them. He will have nothing to do but to advance some small portion of his captial, and go to the City every half year for Ms dividend. There is nothing so pleasant as getting into a good income without laboLIr oftily. consequence. ThtJiironmasters (who already enjoy the bonus of cne hundred per cent. on iron, in consequence of the projected rail-roads, &c.)will, in the course1 of a few years, receive 2S millions sterling frotn j the subscribers for the rails alone, at the present price of iron, in iheevept of Parliament passing the Bills now intended to be submitted and that at the' present price of inland coals at the pits, the sum of two millions sterling will annually be re- ceived by these ironmasters, for th« purpose of working the steam engines on these rail-roads.— rrheH I miles of roaa planned between Birming- ham and Liverpool will require (50,000tons ofiron for the rails alone, at the cost of 84().'0(J0/. ] A few days ago, was married, at Dunham, near East Retford. 'Mr. M. Whafes, bricklayer, of Darlton, to Miss B. Baines, of Little Carlton. Mr. Georgs'Whales, of Dunham, brother to the bridegroom, had been Hannah's original suitor, but unluckily, when ,the arrangements previous to entering the Hymeilial lists had been concluded (such as the banns having been regularly pub- lished three previous Sundays, the pUrchasingof the ringj &c. &.) he (George) took his brother Matthew to see his intended bride, and to judge of the ample share of happiness he was likely soon to enjoy; in reality, it appear however, to have made a somewhat deeper impression on Matthew's susceptible heart, than what George originally intended it should, for on the day following this ill-timed introduction, Matthew took the liberty of paying-a second visit to the feeling fair, unac- companied by his introductory" friend, and soon;, so far won her veering heart, that the next morning's suri witnessed the procuringofa license, and another ring, and the marriage ceremony was regularly performed, to the utter exclusion of the deluded and unfortunate George. A tetter from a person of rank at Vienna gives the following paticulars relative to the Ex-King of Ilonie, who will be fourteen years of age on the 20th of next month. It is not true, as has been said that his education is neglected, or merely such as would fit him for the ecclesiastical state. On the contrary.: it is on apian much more likely to reader him a military character. Reside.4 read- ing books of general instruction, great eare is taken to perfeef liirn in all manly and robust exer- cisei. His countenance, though liaiidsomer than that 0f his father, has still that charactef of ex- pression* His constitution is strong and his hitaith .uninternlpted he possesses for his age a rar«<iegr'ee of sagacit y. The Eutperor sees him fieqaently, and seems to, take much delight in him he indulges him in all his boyish fantasies. He has already, though so young, read the greaS^.WJmber of the4 Memoirs relative to his fattier, but through a fineness of tact, extraor- dinary at his age, 4ie never mentions the name of ta, Lately the Emperor made him a present of a little horse, which happened to re- semble a favourite Arabian horse of Napoleon, called te Visir. The Emperor asked him what name he should give to this horse I wish to can hjm," said the child with great animation, Le J'isir, because somebody that I love very much had a horse of the same name." TrriES OF TJIF. SULTAN —Proud, after theyie- tory over the Greeks, of being one of the con- quering people, the meanest of the Ottomans treated the most illustrious of the vanquished with the lofty superiority of a master and this spirit diffusing itself through every rank, we may judge of the distance from whence the Supreme Chief looks, ^o wn upon the crowd of slaves beneath him. His sentiments cannot be better pourtrayed than in the formulary of the titles assumed by the Sul- tan and in their public aetq --I' I", say they, in their treaties with Christian powers; J, who by the infinite Grace of the best, just, and Omni- potent CREATOR, and by the innumerable Miracles of the Chief of Prophets, am Emperor of power- ful Emperors, the refuge of sovereigns the dis- tributor of crowns to the kings of the, earth, ser- vant of the two thrice-sacred cities (Mecca and Medina) governor of the holy city of Jerusalem; master of Europe, Asia, and Africa, conquered by our victorious sword, and onr temnc lance: Seas) Lord of the two seas (the White and Black eas); of Damascus, the Odour of paradise, of «ag«a"i the seat of the Caliphs, of the Fortresses of Bel- grade, Agria, and imultitudeof countries, .slands straits, nations, generations and of so many vic- torious; armies which repose beneath the shade of our Sublime Porte, &c. &c.' Thomas Agar, son of Jo.I)n Agar, of Peasliolme Green York, was, in the month of May. 1S03, 111 the service of the late Mr. Peter Wilson, of row- thorpe, near Sledmere; and one day m that month whilst tolling some land with a largestone roller drawn by two horses, he had the misfortune to stumble over the roller which was immediately drawn over him. The horses stopped, and in that situation he lay for nearly two hours with the whole weio-ht of the roller upon his breast. When he was "discovered he was in a most deplorable situation life was nearly extinct, both his thighs, his arms,' his collar-bone, several ribs, &c. &c. were broken. Hopeless as his case apparently was surgical aid was procured, and Mr. Stubbs, for- merly of York, but now of Hull, sncceeded in re- ducing the several fractures. By care and atten- tion, assisted by a naturally strong constitution, his 'bodily health gradually recovered; but he was ever afterwards at intervals subject to fits, and from the time of the accident, to the day of his death, which happened on Friday week, at his father's house, on Peasholme Green, embracing a period of twenty-one years and eight months, he was never able either to sit or stand, neither could he bear to lie in bed, in any other posture than on his back. Notwithstanding this severe and tedious affliction his intellect remained unim- paired, and he would converse with great cheer- fulness, with those who visited him. About 'a fortnight befdre his- death he was seized, with a severe illness, and seemed to be in, great bodily pain. It is further remarkable, that when the ac- cident befell him, he was a stout and well-look- ing young man, being at that time in the 20th year of his age, and about five feet seven or eight in- ches in. height, but at the time of his death his stature was reduced to little more than three feet, the coffin in which he was conveyed to his nar- row cell" measuring only three feet four inches in length.—Leeds Intelligencer.

There has been a fa,ir supply of Wheat ti&l Flour since this day se'nnight, with a folerabte 'iirricat of Wheat this momina, ehiefiy from Essex and Kent; the trade however isit on the trhob. dull, and though reed fine samples sell on quite as good terms, the-middling and ordinary sorts are ra- ther- lower. Fine Mailing Barley is steady in value, bat coarse grinding' parcels aiv certainly cheaper. New Beans, if hard anil of goad qua- lity, oMairiqwite as good prices, the coarse ordi- nary sorts, however, arc without any dcmaiul.— We are abundantly supplied with Oats at pre- sent, and the trade is wilhont dny briskness. though we can scarcely quote it cheaper.
