Editor* .• lam tlie happiest of fathers! my son Simon has commenced poet! 1 have often told him he should inherit the reputation of his fa ther. Only imagine, then, my pleasure this morning, when he came to me with his first es say in poetry—Here, said he, are a few lines I think as pithy as any of Pope’s Dunciad. The hint I took from the Frenchman who sold brick dust to kill fleas ! the amplification, is all my own.” My son’s modesty pleased me as much as his fines. All of our family, said I, have had genius, and von fortunate child, are more fa vored than all your ancestors! ‘Stop—said my wife Abigail, I think a mother may claim a share in a son’s genius—were not the Vantitantick- Jer’s great men too ?’ Yes wife, I allow they were. ‘ You have a mother’s blessing’ said site to Simon, and a father’s too said I. This must have cost you a great deal of labor ? no, said lie only two days ! Bless me—these in two days! YVhat may you not do in forty years!!!—and Such perfection the first effort!!! Orthogra phy, etymology,syntax, and prosody—in short, you have attended to all the laws of versifica tion. Simon has fears, that someone who may haye wrote long before his time, has stolen some of his best ideas—but I tell him not to be dis cotiragcvjVne misfortune has happened celebrated autho'nr I hate to be tedi ous, or 1 should say mure in\he praise of Simon.

The spirit of the Radicals continues to display i itself in England, and is extending its influence into Scotland. A meeting was held at Glasgow on the Ist Nov. which was attended by the Re formers of that city and its vicinity ; the crowd was immense, and among them many females.— They separated at 5 o’clock without disturbance. A similar meeting of the Renfrewshire Reform ers took place the same day near Paisley. The | multitude assembled here did not proceed to any excesses, but the precautions taken by the ma ’ gistracy are alone supposed to have prevented it. , Many of the Reformers, it is asserted, were pro vided with pikes, daggers, and other weapons of defence. A meeting was held at Kilsyth on the j same day, where the assemblage was very great. Loyal and constitutional meetings have also ! been held in many places in Scotland, forthe pur j pose of addressing the Prince Regent, and ten dering him their aid in the present disturbed state of the country. j Details of these Radical and Loyal meetings ’ occupy nearly the whole of the papers we have received. Commercial letters by the Jane are to the 11th uit. inclusive, (the day she sailed) —They state ; that the Liverpool Cotton Market had been de- clining for some time.

GLASGOW, Nov. 4. The meeting of the radical reformers at London, on Monday last, dr. Watson in the chair, passed over quietly ; it was far from being numerously attended. A se ries of resoultions, of the usual tenor, were unanimously agreed to ; as also, an address to the prince regent.

The Yeomanry cavalrv in the midland and northern counties , of England, have, , by letters from the Secretary of the home department,been called upon to hold them selves in readiness to assist the civil au thorities in case of necessity.

This gratifying t e*ul tis chiefly ow ing to the yjYacity of the last Leipsic fair, where all tlii British goods offered for sale met with purchasers.—There is no doubt that our manofactures will long continue to be wanted in large quantities ; and, if the supply could be judiciously regulated, they would ot course yield fair profits. It is however to bp regretted that for some years the supply has overgrown the de mand, and the great overplus of weavers makes it but too probable that the same distressing circumstance will continue to impair the general trade. It is otherwise with those branches which depend upon the fashions; in which the difficulty of procuring information obviates the danger jot an over-stock. It meiit^lspecial re mark that these manufacturer |who have brought forward goods for home consump tion or fora foreign market whose fluctua tions were properly attended to, have gen erally prospered. Every prudent person will consider the circumstances of the con sumption, and not embark his fortune in making goods about which he can tell nothing but that they were in demand a month or two ago by exporters in London. Stocks are recovering though slowly, from their late fall. On Saturday Consols for account closed at 67 5-8. LONDON, Nov. j. Our correspondent at North Shields, says—“ The duke of Northumberland, fol lowing the footsteps of his gallant father, has sent notice to all his late volunteer tenantry, infantry and cafalry, that their sei vices and those of other patriotic defen ders of the crown and constitution of the country, will be accepted, and means ta ken to lit them for service forthwith. There needs but the sound of a bugle horn and the regimental bagpipes, to rouse Northum bria to join the standard of the illustrious Percy in support of king Geo. 111. and the constitution as by law established.” Nr.v 7.-—The Paris journals of Wednes day contain nothing more important than the rich promise of the wine harvest.
