[.sciENuit>t.—A few days since (says a weekly print) we had thv fsratitieatimi of witnessing 'a striking instance of what human ingenuity, in conjunction with indeiiitiguble perseverance, is ca 1)alil- of aecOm1)I.h¡ 11" A young- gentleman, a native of I';1(in, Scotland, has priuted several co. pits, one of which we have perused, of an iSmo. work, extending to iioaily seventy pna^s. Our readers, we believe, will he scarcely aide to credit the fact, that this ingenious youth made the whole of the types, consisting of various sizes, with his own hand, and with the assistance of no other im- plement than a pen-knife. He also constructed the press with whieh the work was printed, aud manufactured hi* own ink. What i" perhaps, as singular, is, that lie composed, corrected, and printed the whole impression with his own hand, without ever having received the slightest three tinn 1'1'(11) any individual, 01' ever having seen of had any idea of a printing establishment, or any thing belonging to it. The quality of the tYpe, ?t;iil the manner in whkh the whole work is xc cuted, are really, uw1cr all the circumstances of the case, calculated t" excite the highest astonish- mint. Tuf. C-vTiir,nuAL.—Wo are happy in being* able to draw the attention of our readers tu an adver- tisement announcing t!w reopening uf the Choir uf our Cathedral, for die celebration of divine service, on.St)t)t)aYtJ;Jh!thu,Aui;))st.?'eco!t'J;r:)t:))atc the inhabitants on the haiuNonie appearance of the interior, and tJ¡ greatness and comfort of it? accommodations. The repairs of the church coin menced in the month of February, lu the month of 0\ 11" IS-fi, the nave of the church (halin hcen lilted up for the celchration of divine service in the Welsh language) was opened for the accommodation of the English and AVtdsh eongrt* nation*. Thtf choir bein £ now completed, the joint space afforded in both parts of the chureh, will accommodate about. 1,100 persons, being an ia- crease of above sittings upon the old amuse- ment. Th" wh<>»e expense attendant upon the re- pairs of the fabric and the internal arrangement, h >s amounted to the sum of .10,o'»0. '1 lie incline obtained from the funds of the chapter and from private bounty, amount to something less than the su;n above stated b'avinfr, as we fear, a balance (though we hope not a very considerable one} against those to whose ex'-rtions we owe our pre sentspiritual advantages. H c trust t¡Jat thes^nsc of thc value of th, "e\1ll'l1ts made, wili I", seen 011 Siuui.iv week, and mo numhers who shall l.c at traded to this pla.-e of worship, will cviiljnee In their liberality, how much they love our chuich and its institutions. U hieuts, St'R<.i:"V, KI.I.'S CLF.UK.—M will be recollected by our readers, that at the last assizes for this county, a causf was brought on lor trial, wherein Mr. (). (). Koberts, surgeon, was the feudant, ill "nlor to rccovcr the sum oft;jW, al to be to the pUinliff for attemlances as a medical man on defendant. The plaintitt having moved for a snecial Jury, they were called and sworn, when it was ordered by the court and by the consent of parties, that a verdict should be en tered for plaiutiif, damages JLIUOO. and that all matters in difference in ihe cause should he re ferred to IJcnrv ltoseoe, of Lirerpotll, a Barrister at Law, that the costs of the cause should abide the event of the award, and that the costs of the reference and of the special «'ury should be in the discretion of the arbitrator. '1 r, Koscoe has since examined tIll" witnesses 011 both sides, and also the parties in the cause, and on th" It It inst. de.iveivtl his award in writing, w here- by he orders and direets that a verdict shall be t utered for the said defendant, instead of the "cr diet for the said plaintiff (which will, as a matter of course carry eost^ and that the costs of the re foreuce and of the special jun shan be paid by the sa d plaintiff. C»f.\p V —William Rruman was the most popula1* poet of his time in Herlin, tn which his j'oeni (Ih r Qiuitcrnc) had principally contributed. As he was poor be had to exert his talents to pro cure the means of subsistence; mid as he was much liked, he was oficn engaged by private per- dHS to write occasional poems for them. With this intention a rich tailor called on hun one d iv, and wished to all Ilim, Brnmann, after stune eonvcrsat-. »n with the tailor respecting the bridegroom, and the relation ship he bore to the parties, desired him to call u?it) inaf<iw<).u?.Thet?!"r\?spu'n':tm)t?, his tiUH\ and Brumann, at Iis desire, as he could Iwt read himself, read the poem to him, with which be was delighted, and inquired what he had to pay The poet sai,llhar he could not fix a price, 1111t kft it to the generosity of the purchaser. I be tailor replied, that as it was the first time that he lud engaged any one to make a noetn for him, he must!1't Brnmann to fix his price. He ill conse ijuence said that h" was generally in the habit ot recoiling a ducat for such a poem. The tailor ap- peared Ulud. surprised at this; and after a pause said, "lmust be l'an,lill wIth yon hllt IlIerer I¡l"uht that pOCIUS were so dear; 1 would ,il- lingly bave given a dollar. Could you not shorten Lt.' poem to that "rite 1" B:umaiul. with great t ? ,d nature, answered, that that c<?)]() be d me in a moment; as the poem contained nine verses he cut him off the third part, which he did, n:id the tailor paid his dollar "ud went away, ap- pr.entlv delimited with his bargain, and that :sts wei'<- swld li!\< eL.th, hy the ell. II it eat News FOR Wives.—Mr. Justice Park stated, on a trial which occurred but a few .Iays back, that Judge Bnller had formerly told him he had never stated it to be lawful (though it has al- ways been imputed to him) for a husband to chas- tise his wife witli a stick of the size of his thumb. Accident.-On Saturday week, asDavitlDavies, servant to Mr, Benjamin Thomas,shopkeeper, Glan- dur, in the parish of Jdanvirnach, Pembrokeshire, was (ii-ivitikeol cart loaded with lime, his foot slipped, in 1I101lUtiu the shaft, and the wheel passed over his leg, hip, all,1 shoulder, and shattered and bruised them most dreadfully, lie died in conse. ipieme Ult the following Tuesday. Tiii< ks .,f Tr'Uj;.—A few days since, a gentle- man at Kscter bought a turhot. a fine plump fish. hen the cn.»k began the process of cleaning* "Ine so-ne of them apparently too large Tor the pullet, were found in the inside; and after a little h silation, the ifshmonger acknowledged COlt he had, ill conformity with acomnWIl practice of the trade, stuffed the turhot wit)} the whitings, to give a plump appearance, aud add to its weight. S« K'lDi:.—On Friday week, Mrs. C. Moodie, wife of a respectable fanner residing in the neighbour hood of l.lanelly, Carmarthenshire, went up stairs to her bed-room, bolted the door, aud put a period to her existence II." (,ntting her throat with a razor in the most deliberate manner. It was evident from a note she had written to one of her friends a little time previous to her committing the rash act, and from other circumstances, that she was quite Ikran"1 at the time. SHIP Canal.—We understand that it is in con- templation to open a ship canal between the lie- "yat Seaeombe and the Dee at Dawpool, navua- | hie for vessels of any burden, So as to secure a "om munication with Liverpool at all seasons, and iiii der every disadvantage as to weather. Mr. lelford and other eminent engineers have, we are told. recently made a survey of the intended line, and are so čonfitlelll of it, practicability, that appliea tinu will be made to parliament ill th" ncxt session for the act. Inihstky ash Cleanliness RF.\HRDF,])-Ye have heard, with some surprise aud a considera- ble degree of pleasure, that in some parts of South Wales there are societies for awanliug- pre- miums to labourers and their families, whose cot- tages present, the neatest and cleanest appearance, and whore gardens betoken the industrious habits of the possessors. These certainly are the most useful and praiseworthy societies that could pos sibly be formed, and we trust we shall, at no dis- tant period, sec one of them in full operation here. Tioht W usts.—The present fashion of tight waists for nlall; uars h,1 been ahaudooe,1. Tire rage has now became 1'(':1 tel' than ever, alld the physicians of tlw metropolis are reaping ample hMvests 1'1'0111 the consequences. It is said that more deaths have occurred among young tfmnk" during the last few nWII.hs, tllall have been known for many years-all attributable tn the unnatural practice oV screwing the luugs liver, :11111 other parts of the viscera, so a" to prevent tlH possibility of digestion, Inflammation is the Coiim--tpu-uce, and death must follow, I Y""V.E Ankciuvvk.—Tn <me of the taverns in America a few years sine. there happened to be a number of readable farmers da,1 in the usual habit, when a s p ruce youn g gentleman came in. rigged in the highest style, with a watch in his pocket, who strutted round tl", room with great pomp, dhigjing his g. ¡tl h) s and seals ill rhe moist rnppi81 manner. After swaggering about tile room for a few minutes, he challenged any man iu the room to dro1niOl1e. with Idlll. one piece at a tillW, and the CHH whose purse held out tll\ long-pst should tab, the whole and Ut'al tfw company. Mo one at first appeared disposed to accept his challenge, which only tended to ruder the fop more inflated with a" idea of hi* superior w« alih,and he became the more earnest At length, a j?ti?ty looking, but shrewd old farmer obsen'c,l, if uo one else would aceppn'thi<.ot!f,/)t'w"u'(i ?)it.

Svvithin tulalh free fmm rain, and for some time we entertained fears that confirmation of the popular superstition would lie a'Tonled, we havin experienced a heavy full on that day. The crops ill these parts look as well as call he expected, and much better we are informed than those in i-inudand do. On Thursday last we pcrceived a .f I,y tl,, i(l,! ftf?, liri(ige Hoa 1, undergoing the operation of the scythe, and we believe it has since been wholly levelled.— Wrexham, a correspondent writes llS. was on Tues- day week, visited with a tremendous storm. At 2 a. M. the raill commenced, and by 7 o'clock the litt'e river running t]¡I'(1I1!!h the town assumed au alarming aspect; a cart was carried down and strtiel, .VIr. lieardsworth's bridge; soon after that gentleman's garden wall gave way, the torrent tearing iii) the trees and hedges and break ling down the stone walls hc10nglllg to the Kev. J. \'ea\'('c,lol1\\<I its way to Tuttie Street. The bouses soon began to give way, and the inhabitants who had fancied themselves sarI) IIp stain were obliged to mako oo,1 tlwir eseape alon: the tops or II", houses. tio lives happily were lost. Mr. Sreenhow's walls next fell, alld his horse and gig narrowlv escaped being carried down liy the llood. From the church yard the speetadc was most appalling. Blr. lieardsworth's, Mr. Ed- wards's, and the licv. J. Pearce's tan-yards and premises were clIlnpJelely inundated, nothing hilt the tops of the buildings, hark, ami hay stacks were to be seen. At King's Mills two houses anti part of the bridge were completely canicd otf.- At Alwyn Puieston, the bridge is destroyed one of the Oswestry coaches had passed OVer, and the nther was within twenty yanls when it happened; in half a minute longer, many lives would have been lost I At Messrs. Harris and lirothers, the w ares and hrillges are all torn away, and the mallllfadorr mlleh injured. At Wynnstay the beautiful cascade in the Hath grounds is literally swept away. In this placc alone the damage done to Sir W. W. Wy ine must he upwards of 1 tI,!lOtt. It wollltl lie tedious to describe all the effects, hut many peisous in the immediate neigh bourhood of the stream more or less were suffer- ers. l.eeswood liridge gave way about five mi- nutes after Mr. and f Mold, ha,1 passed over in their carriage. Many lives are said to have been lost; one only we know of, a poor collier, from South Sea, ill endeavouring to rescue a part of his furniture, fell in and soon perished. His body was found in a meadow belonging to Mr. Humphreys, of llerse.—At Chester oil and last, the rain fell in torrents, un equalled ill the memory of the oldest inhabitant. On the latter day more especially enormous bail tol1es fell in sueh quantity as, in some situations, to cover tile ground and ever and anon, "A peal 'of rattling thunder rolled along, "And shook the firmament," continuing with little iutermission during the whole afternoon The effects throughout the coun- try of the rain that fell during the week are most melancholy; and we may expect to hear accounts of damage and loss of lives exceeding those caused hy the fiulllls a fortnight or three weeks ago-AII Kastsate Street was under water on Saturday; anil an impetuous current, almost sufficient to float the fleet of the Yacht Club, ran through the Eastgate. On Fridav night, two of these boats broke from their moorings above the bridge, and m-erc cai-i-ietl away by the current, but fortunately did not sus- tain any material injury. On Saturday, about 15 yards of the Walls, between Abbey Strest and the Phcenix Tower, gave way and eamc down with a tremendous crash, being completely undermined by the heavy rains. Fortunately, tho state of the weather was such as to prevent any person bring passing at the time,ur it work in the rope-walk he- neath. The Tower field was completely under water, and the crops will be utterly destroyed.— We understand that this may in a great measure be attributcd to the drains which formerly ran into the Koodce being now turned into the Tower field: but we shall make some further inquiries 011 this suhjeet at the Workhouse. «ln the course of Saturday night, the rain soine- bu j Iat abated; and" The thunder now W inged with red lightning,and impetuous rage, spent its shafts." On Sunday morning the weather cleared up, aim the view from the Walls at the top of the North- gate was highly picturesque; while at the same time it^uuld not fail to give vise to melaneholy re- flections, when taken as a spcdlllen of the general i demstatioll committed hy the floods. All the, farms Oil the right bank o!' the river, from the Sluice house and its rlclIlIty inclusive, were completely underwater; and the hedgerows and clumps of trees gave them the appearance of a vast lake thickly studded with clusters of green islands.— The Parkgate road was rendered utterly impassa- ble, and the meadows in that direction, all the way up to the rear of the new Lunatic Asylum, were completely inundated. This was produced bv the rain alone; for not a drop of water overflowed the hanks of the river or the canal. The waters rose in Mr. Wedge's house at Sealand several inches higher than during the great flood of 17); the greatest ever known in this part of the kingdom. In the afternoon, two large porpoises that came up with the tide, one as far as the nee bridge, afforded amusement, by their sportive gambols, to a crowd of idlers who ran after them alollg the banks, Some of the fishermen's boats put off aud gave chase, in the hope of striking a boat-hook or some other missile into the finny monsters, but without effect. There is only one ins:ance within the me- mory of the oldest fisherman of a porpoise having come so far up the river; and oil that occasion it went through the hrjde, and the fishermen sue ceeded in preventing its return, so that it fell an easy prey at low water in the pot.1 above the bridge. QUFEK CONCEIT. I This city was on Friday morning last thrown into a complete state of febrile anxiety by the ap- pearanceof the 'gentlemanly match seller/the COlli mciicement of whose tour at Chester we noticed in our last publication but one, each person cmlea vouring to ascertain the 'name, style, and title' of the stranger, and the motives by which he was actuated i,? adopting a profession so little in ae conlauc"with ,i. address, A gr???t ,riety of IrllllHHlrs prevailed, which would occupy too much of our space to enumerate, and the detail of which would most probably lead our readers into a Iaby- i tij, from which they would be unable to extri- "ale themselves Sl) as to arrive at any veritable conclusion. We shall therefore shortly state what wc hare heard from pretty good authority to be facts connected with his present undertaking, and which we believe to he m). We all know the pre dilcction veteran soldiers have for recounting their hair-breadth scapesi' the imminent.deadly breach,' 'the moving accidents by flood and field,' to which they have been exposed, and with these 'all their The same desire that impelled them to seek the dangers they recount with so much pleasure actuate our youthful sprigs of no- li i litv' in these piping times fpc"t," to place them- selvcs on a level with the lowest of the low, and ti-avel the country as vagrants without a local ha- bitation and a name.' It was, we understand, on a late occasion when his fellows were boasting of having accomplished similar exploits in spite of all the obstructions opposed to their progress, by the myrmidons of the law, yclept police men, that this person undertook, for a wager of one thousand pounds, to travel through parts of England and Wales, which he selected as most likely to answer his purpose, but omitting all the large commercial and manufacturing towns, with the exception of Birmingham, in the capacity of a match vendor, during thc space of six wecks, each week clearing two guineas over and above his expenditure, and at the same time binding himself to sleep in the houses usually frequented by persons in that pro fession, to drink no malt or spiritous liquors, and to walk the whole of the distance. His parentage and rank are entirely unknown to us at present, it seeming to he his study to conceal the same from public knowledge till the expiration of his percrration i but his conversation and polite car- riage convince us that he has been accustomed to move in a far different sphere of life to that in which lie is now engag-cd. From Chcster, we un- derstand, he visited all the market towns in Den- bighshire and Flintshire, and disposed of his wares to considerable advantage, the greatest eagerness having been displayed by the inhabitants to obtain possession of them-some paying in copper, some in silver, and others in gold. In this place, after visiting the intermediate towns, he was no less snc- cessful, and at Beaumaris and Carnarvon he levied considerable contributions. In his progress throngh Haugor, we noticed particularly that he did not miss a single house, and 011 no account would he take money of those ill apparently humble circum- stances, who replied to his interrogatory that they were ill able to afford to purchase, making to every applicant the most elegant emujee, anú returning thanks in appropriate language, for kindness re eeiyed. He was a handsome young fellow, and the novelty of his situation, joined with his per- sonal attractions, completely gained him the hearts of our romantic mountain maids, some of whom, in our hearing, were so much charmed that they actually begged permission to accompany him; and on his refusal, shedtearsof regret, and'wished that heaven had made them such a man.' One poor innocent creature, dropping him a very low cour- tesy, at the farthest extremity of the town, asked for a penny-worth, and exclaimed, I lfeaveii bless your sweet countenance; I'm truly sorry to see so nice a young man brought so low as to be com- pelled to seij matches for a livelihood.' This seemed to touch a delicate nerve, and having hasti- ly served her,he returned her salutation, and quick ly made his exit, quite crest fallen. -<- I WILLIAM HARWOOD FOLLIOTT, ESQ. I The effects of the visit of the" gentlemanly match seller" on the public mind had hardly sub- sided when a fresh cause for agitation sprung up ill the arrival of that well informed, patriotic, and spirited philanthropist William Harwood Fol- liott, Esq. of Chester, the productions 01 whose talented pen have frequently ornamented the co- lumns of this and many other journals, metropo- litan and provincial, and whose addresses to the mayor and corporation of Chester on manv occa- sionsduring the last twenty years,—particularly as respects the erection of a new market hall for the preservation of the lives of the butter women, and the bad quality of the salmon exhibited occasion- ally for sale, &c. &c.—made an impression on his hearers that time willllot he able to remove. This gentleman, after publicly exhibiting his person to the inhabitants, and proving to their satisfaction that it had sustained 110 injury from the desperate attack lately made on his life by a female maniac, retired to Iiis hotel, and indulged his taste for li- terature by addressing its the following letter, to which our fair countrywomen we know will give every consideration, though, begging Mr. Folliott's panton for differing with him in opinion as to the hats being a disfigurement, we hope they will not he l'rendled upon to adopt the suggestiun it COIl- veys respecting thcm, To the lldi'or the Sort" IfV.V.v Chol/id". l'enrhyn Arms Hotel, liangor, July, 25th, IsiS.

Per- mit me, through tne medium of your intelligent papcr, now that we live in an age when the march ■ iiiteHecl l so conspicuous, to entreat them to eOllsign their hats to their husbands and bro- thers, or to the flames for aught I care, and dress like Englishwomen; for in prettyness of countc nance and apparent good liatuie, they are by no means generally inferior, and in many instances I have observed superior attraction in their features and figures, natural and unsophisticated by art as they are. What in ancient days, I ask, would have been thought of the Venus de Medicis, with her glossy ringlets and fine long flowing hair, had they heen enveloped and disgraced by a man's heaver.

My principal inducement to come here was to view the eighth wonder of the world, the Mcnai lU-idge, compared with which the celt- brated Pont Nenf at Paris, and the Uiaito at Venice necessarily sink into oolivion.
