To the latter parent, who died but a few months before, aged 87, after a widowhood of between fifty and sixty years, she had from her infancy shewn the most unremitting and devoted filial attention, confined almost exclusively to her own personal services, assisted only by a single female domestic; notwithstanding the successive additions of much affluence to herself, from the different branches of her paternal ancestry. Brought up in the habits of prudent economy, which a very moderate provision at first made necessary, she gave a clear proof of the blessed spirit of contentedness, when, being advised to investigate her claim to a disputable property,she peremptorily declined it, as being already possessed of "health, peace, and competence," and determined not to break in on either by contention. Even in Bath, her choice was in the most still and quiet part of it to purchase a small habitation, where she had lived many years, in a constant attention to the duties of religion, respected by, and endeared to, as large a circle of respectable friends, as her parent's age and infirmities would admit her being known to. By her will she made a disposition of her fortune equally just, liberal, and benevolent, towards her heir-at-law, her relations on the side of both parents, some dear friends, and in one instance, to no small amount, towards unfriended worth, though not connected by affinity; and left one hundred pounas to the Bath City Infirmary and Dispensary. Mr. Archdeacon Coxe, in his Historical Tour of Monmouthshire, says, that the priory of Usk "belonged to the late Al· derman Hayley, and forms part of his widow's jointure."

The failures of several houses of the very first respectability, both at London and in different provincial towns of Great Britain, have, within the last month, been unprecedented in number and importance. A West India bro ker, who has long been considered the first in his line, was, we are told, the prime cause of the stoppage of a banking house, whose credit was previously unimpeached. The several banks in the country, connected with the London house, of course shared its fate, and from them the evil spread to merchants, manufacturers, traders, and in short to the very servants and dependants of these, numbers of whom are thrown out of employment, and their families deprived of bread. Speculations in Spanish wool, an article which has fallen about 30 per cent. are considered as the origin of those unlooked-for disasters. Five Manchesterhouses have stopped payment in the city, and we are sorry to add, have involved numerous industrious persons, both in town and country, in their ruin. The demands upon the five houses are said to amount to TWO MILLIONS; but it is supposed that their real property will ultimately cover all deficiencies. Speculative exports to South America are the rock upon which these houses have split. In consequence of these unexpected events, public credit is at the present moment as low as ever it has been in the memory of man; the fluctuation of price in the money-market is unprecedented, and the depression so considerable, that omnium is fallen to 24 per cent. discount. We understand that some respectable merchants have waited upon the bank directors in order to solicit their aid towards the allevi ation of the burthens with which our internal commerce is at present borne down. The result of this application is not as yet publicly known; we trust it will prove favourable. The renewal of our intercourse with the United States of America has in some sort benefited the manufacturing interests; but this felicitous effect is almost swallowed up in the vortex of those calamities which it has been our painful duty to record. EAST INDIES. We turn with a certain sensation of pleasure from the foregoing to the present head of our report; under which we have the satisfaction to announce the safe arri val of the following vessels, on account of the East India Company, viz. The Carnatic, Lord Castlereagh, Walthamstow, Lord Melville, Lord Duncan, Metcalf, Henry Addington, Devonshire, Ocean, Tottenham, Retreat, and the Penang frigate, from Bengal; the Baring, Lady Castlereagh, Castle Eden, Surrey, and Marquis Wellesley, from Bengal and Fort St. George; the Dover Castle, Marchioness of Exeter, Europe, Devaynes, Northampton, and Union, from Bombay; and the Streatham, from the Cape of Good Hope. The cargoes consist of the following commodities. Bengal piece goods: muslins, 34,574; calicoes, 72,224; and prohibited goods, including muslins, calicoes, silk and cotton handkerchiefs, &c. 121,486 pieces. Madras piece goods: calicoes, 217,545; muslins, 2,690, prohibited goods, 46,460 pieces. Bombay piece goods: calicoes and muslins, 93,327 pieces. Company's Drugs, &c.: saltpetre, 131,400cwt.; raw silk, 268,939; cotton, 17,167 bales; hemp, 166 ditto; pepper, 2,181 bags; cinnamon, 3,911 bales; sugar, 2,124 bags; cochineal, 9,4001b.; opium, 4000 ditto; barilla, 1,036 bags; Tinnevelly spices, 59 packages; Keemoo shells, 48 packages; rope, 5 coils; carpets, 5 hales; Bamboo machinery, 1 box, hemp, (on account of government,) 10,917 bales. Privilege Drugs, &c.: indigo, 1,569 boxes and chests; cotton, 1,925 bales; raw silk, 103 ditto; shellac, 20 boxes; sticklac, 2 ditto; lac lake, 188 ditto; gum animi, 5 ditto; gum assafætida, 16 ditto; olibanum, 16 ditto; mastich, 4 ditto; camphor, 243 ditto; safflower, 147 ditto; lac bolor, 15 ditto; blue galls, 119 bags; gall-nuts, 60 ditto; munjeet, 41 bags; castor-oil and dry ginger, 170 boxes; star anniseed, 33 ditto; nutmegs and cloves, 5 ditto; books, 2 ditto; bandannoes, 5 chests; saffron, 3 ditto. Besides several other parcels of goods, the particulars whereof are not yet known. From the advices brought home by the fleet we learn, that in consequence of the rains not having set in till August last, the crops of indigo throughout the district of Benares were very short, that there will not be one-third of last year's produce, and that the manufacture of the arti cle will cost 60 per cent more. This is unpleasing intelligence, for, as we observed in a former report, the East India indigo becomes daily more valuable. The statement of the cargoes has occupied so large a share of our limits, that we can only quote the prices of a few of the East India and Chinese goods. Bohea tea fetches from is 8d. to 2s. 1d.; congou, from 3s. Sd. to 35. 8d. ; and hyson, from 31, 6d. to 55. 6d. per lb. Hemp, 501. to 601. per per ton. Rice, 11. to 11. 6s. per cwt. Cotton, 1s. 3d. to 1s. 6d. per lb. on the whole, East India goods have been rather lower since our last. cwt. WEST INDIES.-Market rather dull, and prices of commodities either standing still or on the decline. Jamaica sugar, 31. 14s. to 41 55.; that of Antigua, Earbacoes, Tobago, and St. Lucia, about the same prices; Montserrat and Dominica, from 31. 15. to 41 63. per Jamaica rum, 4s. 4d. to 4s. 6d. Ditto, Leeward Islands, 3s. 10d. to 4s. 10d. per gal. Jamaica logwood, chipt, 351. to 371. per ton. Jamaica cotton wool, 1s. 5d. to 1s 6d. Tobago ditto, 1s. 6d to is. 98. Barbadoes, 1s. 7d. to 1s. 8d.; and St. Domingo, 1s 2d per lb. Coffee is looking down, and the holders seem unwilling to sell at the present reduced rates. The fine fetches from 41. 10s. to five guineas; the good, 41. to 41. 10s.; middling, 31. 10s. to 41. and the ordinary, 21. 15s. to 31. 10s. per cwt. NORTH AMERICA. The renewal of our commercial intercourse with this country has assumed that appearance of vigour which might naturally be looked for after the tedious interruption which it has experienced. The ports of London and Liverpool, of the latter especially, are thronged with American vessels; and of course, till some part of their car goes is disposed of, the produce of the United States must be considered in the light of a drug. Ashes are a little enquired after; the prices of the day are for pot, 21. 7s. to 31. 6s. ; for pearl, 21. 10s. to 31. 8s. per cwt. Tallow is going off at a considerable declension in price: we will not venture to fix any rate. Tar fetches, from 11. 5s. to 11. 10s. per barrel. Pitch, 13s. to 13s. 6d. Turpentine, 18s. to a guinea. Black rosin, 10s. to 12s; and yellow, ditto, 13s. to 15s. per cwt. Georgia cotton-wool, 1s. 2d. to 2s.; and New Orleans, Is. 3d. to 1s. 6d. per lb. Oak, 141. to 181. 10s.; ditto, plank, 111. 10s. to 151.; pine, 71. 10s. to 81. 12s.; and ditto. plank, 111. 10s. to 151. 10s. per last. Maryland tobacco, from 5d. to 16d. per lb.; Virginia, ditto, from 6d. to 81. per lb. Wax. 131. 10s. to 141. per cwt. Wheat, from 70s. to 110s. per quarter; and four, from 60s. to 66s. and upwards, per 196lbs. HOLLAND All trade between Great Britain and this devoted country is completely put a stop to by the rigorous execution of the French emperor's anti-commercial decrees. It is even reported that the captains and part of the crews of two vessels were shot for violating the prohibition. The colonial produce under sequstration at Antwerp and the annexed provinces, as well as those of Holland that are in danger of being so, is placed at the disposal of the proprietors. It is allowed to be imported into France on paying an ad valorum duty of 50 per cent.! PRUSSIA-Money is so extremely scarce in the Prussian ports, that the merchants can with difficulty collect sufficient to defray the import duties, and interest is represented to be at the extravagant rate of 24 per cent. per month. SWEDEN. By the advices from Stralsund, it appears that the severities against commerce at that port, at the instigation of France, are to be carried to their utmost extent, and that American and British property is to be exposed to equal rigour. 1 IRELAND. We lament to state that, instead of this feature of our report presenting any thing like melioration in the commercial affairs of the sister kingdom, it this monthi exhibits a series of mercantile mishaps unexampled in the annals of commerce. There is scarcely a trader of any description, whether merchant or manufacturer, who has not felt the sad effects of the failures on our side of the water. The provision trade is in the most deplorable state; and as to the waollen manufacturers of the Liberty of Dublin, they are actually in want of the common necessaries of life: all this is attributed to the Union; and, we must own, with some semblance of justice. Ireland is drained of Lords and Commoners of noblemen and gentlemen. To whom, then, are shopkeepers to look for support?-To whom are the silk and woollen manufacturers of the Liberty to apply for encouragement? The merchants and opulent residents of Dublin, and the other principal cities and towns of Ireland, are few, and the consumption of what are vulgarly denominated luxuries, is not by one-tenth as great as it was prior to the Union. Is a country, for which Nature has done so much, doomed to be the everlasting plaything of prejudice-the butt of unceasing oppression?

JUNE. Flowering Month. High climbs the sun, and darts his powerful rays; THE wind was easterly on the 1st, 2d, 3d, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 15th, 16th, 23d, 24th, 27th, and 29th; westerly on the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 18th, 19ch, 20th, 21st, 22d, 28th, and 30th; and on the other days variable, particularly the 4th, 8th, and 17th, when is passed entirely round the compass. We had strong gales on the 5th and 21st; the former from east-north-east, and the latter from north-west. The same dry weather which we experienced during the month of May, has continued through the greatest part of the present month. Nearly all the rain which has fallen, was on she 13th and 28th. The hottest days were the 228 and 24th. June 1. The cuckoo-spit insect, or froth-worm, as it is called in some places, is now to be seen on the shrubs and grass. This is the larva or grub of the cicada spumaria of Linnæus. It is really surprising that so small an insect should be able to emit from the pores of its budy so great a quantity of froth. In the midst of this it undergoes its changes until it issues forth in a winged state. The following wild herbaceous plants are in flower :-Meadow pink (lychnis flos cuculi), foxglove (digitalis purpurea), common broomrape (crobanche major), corn woundwort (stachys arCent), long-stalked crane's-bill (geranium columbinum), great daisy or ox-eye (chrysanthemum leucanthemum), mouse-ear scorpion-grass (myosotis arvensis), and hound's tongue (cynoglossum officinalis). The last-named plant I have lately seen recommended in some of the periodical publications as an efficacious means of driving away rats; this I am inclined to believe is more than doubtful. Its smell is very unpleasant, and much like that of a place which is frequented by mice. June 2. The eggs of silk-worms begin to hatch. June 5. A mole-cricket, which was brought to me some days ago, I have since kept in a box partly filled with earth. It lives upon caterpillars; and although it occasionally gnaws some of the roots which I put into the box, it does not appear to eat them. June 8. The rose chafer (scarabius auratus), and the humming-bird hawk-moth (spbing stellatarum), are now both seen in flower gardens. June 12. In some of the seine nets were brought ashore this evening a considerable num. ber of mackarel. On several following evenings the fishermen were still more successful; and on the 16th, a greater quantity was caught than has been known for many years past. It is said that one boat had as many as 120,000. The price on the spot to those persons who purchased them for sale, was half-a-guinea per thousand. The poor people were allowed to take away, without payment, alinost as many as they wanted for their own consumption; and on the evening of the next day, some of the fish that were now caught were sold as low as a farthing pes dozen. All the mackarel which are taken on this coast are small, and evidently young fish: I have seldom heard of any which contained spawn. June 16. The caterpillars of the satin most (Bombyx salicinus of Haworth), begin to spin their follicle. They continue in a chrysalid state about nineteen days. There were twenty salmon caught on the first, and eighteen on the second, of this month. The white and yellow water lilies (nymphæa alba and lutea), are both in flower; as is likewise the flowering rush (butomus umbellatus). I was shewn, in one or the holes made for a scaffold-pole in a house which is building by a nobleman in this neighbourhood, the nest of a red-breast, which contained young ones nearly half grown. Respecting this nest it is a singular circumstance, that although the workmen were numerous, and, during the day-timne, o. course constantly employed; and, although the birds had been compelled to leave a hole in the same building in which they had formed a preceding nest, yet they seemed determined not to be driven away by the presence of mankind. The female, during her incubation, was per ectly undisturbed by the bricklayers, who were frequently at work close to her, and by whom the nest was sometimes unintentionally splashed with the mortar. The workmen give the young birds as little disturbance as possible; and there can be no doubt but they will soon be able to escape the dangers of so exposed a situation. June 25. The stag beetles (lucanus cervus) fly about in the evenings. June Su. Very few mackarel have been caught since the 16th. Hampshire. MONTHLY MAG, No. 202. N MONTHLY MONTHLY BOTANICAL REPORT. WE have frequently had occasion to remark upon the difficulty which attends the making out what are real species, and what are mere varieties, in plants that have been long cultivated. This difficulty arises, not only from the changes which many plants undergo from a diversity of soil, but likewise from a real admixture of the species, the pistil of une being impregnated by the pollen of another, an admixture which frequently takes place altogether unintentionally on the part of the gardener, or principally by means of bees, and other insects, which, flying from one kind to another in search of honey, carry the pollen of one plant adhering to their hairy bodies, and wipe it off on the stigma of a different species. The seeds of the latter, after such an operation, instead of producing an offspring similar to the mother plant, produce a hybrid breed, compounded of the species from which the pollen brought by the bees originated, and of the mother plant. Thus the young plants will resemble in some points the one species, and in some points the other. genuity and industry of man, in pursuit of gain, have prompted him purposely to occasion Of late years too, the inthis admixture, in order to produce varieties, which may be striking from their beauty of novelty. By this accidental, or intentional, breeding of mule-vegetables, added to the changes occa❤ sioned by varying the culture, and industriously supplying a soil, found by experience best fitted to produce the required changes, such a multitude of varieties have been produced, particularly in plants which, having been favourites among florists, have been longer and more carefully cultivated, that to determine the original stork from whence the vast host has originated, has, in some cases, become almost impossible. Were these varieties, whether obtained by diversifying the culture, or by the intermixture of two species, equally permanent with the natural plants, there would be no possibility of unravelling these intricacies; but there is a constant tendency in the varieties from the first of these causes to degenerate, as it is called, that is, to return back to their original state, and in the mule breeds to perish, from being generally barren through some defect in the organs of fructification. At the same time we do not believe that the sterility of hybrids, neither in the animal nor vegetable kingdoms, is a constant law of nature, as some philosophers have supposed; on the contrary, we apprehend, that there are many exceptions to be found in both, and that it cannot be inferred because the offspring may occasionally prove prolific, that therefore the male and female parents must have been of the same species; a conclusion which the celebrated physiologist, Mr. John Hunter, adopted with regard to the wolf and the dog. It is enough for our purpose that the law, though not universal, is very general, and sufficient to prove a tendency in nature to restore varieties, in the course of time, back to their original stock, or to occasion them to perish. Linnæus entertained an idea, which seems to be totally incompatible with the above observations. He believed that, at the creation, genera only were made, and that all the species have arisen since from the intermixture of one genus with another. That such an hy pothesis however cannot be true, what we know of the very frequent barrenness of mixed species, and of the impossibility of impregnating the ovary of one genus with the pollen of another, unless so nearly allied as to make the generic distinction dubious, is amply sufficient to prove. We are led to these reflections from the perusal of the last number of the Botanical Magazine, in which Mr. Gawler laudably continues his labours in unravelling the mysteries of the parterre, with respect to the favourite genus Narcissus, of which this Number contains accurate figures of five varieties. It appears, from an enumeration of the species known by Mr. Gawler, that nearly the whole has been figured in the Botanical Magazine, together with their principal varieties. And this excellent botanist has taken the opportunity afforded, of correcting some errors which he had before fallen into, with respect to referring some of the varieties to their proper species. Some of our readers will be surprised to find that the most common white Narcissus, N. biflorus of Curtis, No. 197, (erroneously quoted in one place No. 194, in two others No. 179,) is the orientalis of Linnæus, but not of Hortus Kewensis. The species enumerated by Mr. Gawler are, 1. Pseudo- Narcissus, English Botany, 17. 2. Minor, Botanical Magazine, No. 6; with a doubt whether these two species are really distinct. In confirmation of such doubt we can state, that we have seen an intermediate variety about as much larger than Minor as smaller than-Pseudo-Narcissus. gazine, No. 51, with two varieties, ib.
