Composed of Vegetables, without the Admixture of auv Mineral or pernicious Ingre. dient whatever, it is free from the usual Objection against ihe Use of other Dentifrices. Its detersive Power is just sufficient to annihilate those destructive Particles which adhere lo the Gums and the Inter- stices of the Teeth; healing Injuries in tlie former, and promoting a new Enamel ( where it has been injured or corroded) on the laiter. It likewise im- parts a Firmness and health? Redness ti> ibe Gums ; and if used regularly will preserve the Teeth iu a sound State lo old Age. Sold iu Boxes, at 2s. 9d. by . RI) TI.

HOUSE OF COMMONS- WEDNESDAY. Mr. BROUGHAM withdrew his motion for inquiry into the conduct of l. o, d Charles Somerset, in his Government at the Cape of Good Hope, upon au intimation from Mr. CANNINS that that Noble Lord had leave of absence to return home; and tut explanation from Lord EDIVARD SOMMISET, that Lord Charles's fixed determination was to vindicate" his character; for which purpose, if ultimately found necessary, lie would avail himself of the permission granted, and return hurtle tu meet every charge exhibited against him. HOUSE OF COM HONS— THURSDAY. , Mr. BOXTON brought forward the case of Mr. Shrewsbury, the Methodist Missionary, sent out by the African Society, whose lite was threatened, ai. d his chapel pulled down, at Barbadoes, in I . After entering at large into the merits of the case, he moved the following resolution:—" That this Hditse deem it their duty to declare their utmost amazement lit so scandalous and daring a violation of law, and express their hope that his Majesty will be pleased to order some steps to be taken to secure the rebuilding of the chapel, and to afford ample protection and religious toleration in that colony ." — Mr. NORTON admitted that the facts were cor- rectly stated, hut said that the proceedings of Mr.' fcjhiewsbury had greatly alarmed the proprietors for III? security of their property : he tlid not mean, to say that the Society had done 110 good ; but he would say, that their instructions to their ftjissi ti. iiries had done much evil.— Mr. CANNING contended, that Mr. Shrewsbury was wholly free from blame, and that he had a right to transmit the letter w hich he had w ritten to his employers, but that they were wrong to publish it, and sent! it as a firebrand to Barbudoes, as from that publication the riots had arisen. Certainly only one opinion could be formed as to the act in qui stiott — it was wholly unjustifiable in itself, a transgression uf law, and un insolent defiance of Parliament and the country. He oh jeeted, however, lo the resolution as it stood, and considered an expression of Parliamentary censure alone would he more efficacious*; lie, therefore, moved, as an amendment • " That the House having taken into its most serious consideration the papers on the table relating lo the demolition of tiie Me- thodist Chapel 111 Barbadoes, deem it their duty to declare their utmost indignation at that scandalous and daring violation of the law ; and having seen with great satisfaction the instructions sent over hy bis Majesty's Secretary of State to the Governor of Barbadoes tu prevent the recurrence of a similar outrage, humldy express their ready concurrence in any measure his Majesty may deem necessary tu secure ihe most ample protection and religions toleration to till classes of his Majesty's subjects in . that colony "— Mr. BROUGHAM approved of the amendment of the Right Hon. Secretary, which was ultimately agreed to. HOUSE OF LORDS — FKIBAY. Upon the. motion for the third reading of the Equitable Loan Bank Bill, the LORD CHANCELLOR opposed the measure In a speech of some length, iu which he pointed out the dangers likely to result from the establishment of a Company, whose num- bers rendered it irresponsible to any penal prosecu- tion ; while, from its structure, if might, in n little time, obtain a monopoly, uot only of the Pawn- broking trade, but of the whole trade of lite country, and of tile mortgage of all impignorated lands, and without fear of control practise the most extensive usury. In conclusion he moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be read thai day six months : which was carried ( and ihe Bill of course rejected) by a majority of 127 to 14. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY. till. KENRICK. After a short discussion 011 the order of proceed- ing, tiie House resolved itself into a Committee on the Petition of Mr. Camfdr. Mr. Camfor was called. Mr. Gurney and Mr. Holland appeared for Mr. Kenrick Mr. Cauifor was then examined by Mr. Penman. He said he was last year a farmer at' ' hurlwood, in Surrey ; he lust ' 2( 1 sheep from Chin 1 wood Common A rani was among them, which he afterwards futind in a fold in a field belong to Mr. Beale. The rum was then shorn : he applied lo Beale to give it up, nnd asked him to see the fleece, but Beale refused to shew it liim, or give up the ram. In consequence he went to the magistrate ( Mr. Kenrick) and told him all the particulars of his loss, and asked fur a search warrant Mr, Keurick demurred to granting it, and Mr. Canifor said he could go to another magistrate, ou which be flew into a great passion, but lie pacified hint, and then he wrote a note to Mr. W Beale, and he went and took the rant, and see- ing1 Mr Beale afterwards again asked him for the fleece, which he again iffoserl to ^ ive up.— After rhor, on ,),,• Tuesday, lie went before another Ma- gistrate, Mr. Burgess, and asked for a search warrant, and the magistrate was attending to it, lilt when he shewed him the note of Mr. K. he refused to act, and recommended him to applv to him again, .•• licit he did. He saw Beale's brother, who is Mr Kfnrick's bailiff, and then went to Mr. Kenrick's house, where lie saw Adams, who told Itim that Beale had been there, and it was left to Mr. Nash and Mr. Cottle to settle. He had not said any thing of leaving it to reference before that Ultimately a reference was made to those gentle- men, aud they decided that the fleece was his, and they gave him notes of their decision; he then went to Mr. Kenrick's to shew him the notes; he saw him and Adains in the parlour, and Mr. Kenrick insisted on having back the note which he wrote, but he refused to give it up ; a Constable was sent for, and he was searched by order of Mr. Kenrick, and Ihe note and fleece taken from him ; lie brought 1111 action afterwards against Mr. K for that, which was compromised hy Mr. K. pay- ing £ 5 and all costs and damages.— Mr. Dcninatt said he had 111 intention to call any other witness on this part of the case. Mr. GURNGY then addressed the House on the part of Mi'. Kenrick, and read the statement of that gentleman, in which he denied having any know- ledge of Beale, or any motive whatever for parti- ality towards hjiu. The person against whnin the warrant was demanded bore a respectable charac- ter, and he believed it could not he maintained that in such a case a warrant should he had for the asking.- He ( Mr. G.) thought Mr. Kenrick had exercised a sound discretion. The courts of law were open to the Petitioner, and to the courts of law he had recourse, and obtained satisfaction by agreement with Mr. Kenriok.— All that was unpleasant in what followed must, the learned Counsel observed, be ascribed to the impractic- able and perverse temper of Camfor, who, angry that his sheep had strayed, wanted to extort from the first man he could lay, his hands upon the costs of his pursuit. In corroboration of litis view of Ihe case, aud as a demonstration that Camfor well knew that there was nothing dishonest in tile way in which Beale catrte by the rain, Mr. Gtirney ob- served, that tip to the present hour he had instituted no prosecution.— Mr. GUBNEY, for Mr. Keurick, declined calling any witnesses. A conversation of some length followed, in which Mr, Peel, Mr. Canning, Mr, Western, Mr. Den- itisou, Mr. Wytin, and Mr. Goulburu contended, that, although Mr. Kenrick might have erred in judgment, there was no ground for charging him with partiality; that, therefore, 110 case had been proved ; and pressed for the immediate adoption of a Resolution to that effect. — Mr. Dcnman, Mr. Ahercroniby, Mr. J. Williams, and Mr. Maberly took a different view of the affair, and it was agreed to take the subject into consideration again on Monday. COMBINATION LAWS.— The following is an abstract of I he Bill for repealing Ihe Laws relating to the Combination of Workmen, aud for making other provisions in lien thereof:— Clause 1, This Act not to revive the Acts which were repealed last Session.— 2.

HoKRi'BLt OCCURRENCE.—— On Thursday night, a little before eleven o'clock, Mr. Feather- stone, Mr. Bitrgoyue, & Mr. Green, were returning to their residences at Chelsea, in Mr. F.' s chariot, from a party at Wnlham Green. They were all somewhat inebriated; Mr. Featherstone and Mr. Bnrgoyiie got inside, and their friend, Mr. Green, rode on lite box with Ihe coachman, named Alford. On the road Mr Green insisted un driving, and swore that he. would drive over everything that came in his way. The coachman imprudently con- sented to give'up the reins, aud Mr G. whipped the horses into a full gallop ; Mr. Feathersloue, although intoxicated, put his head out of the win- dow, and called on Mr. Green for God's sake lo stop the horses ; but no heed was taken of the en. treaty, and in about a minute after, the wheel came ill contact with a post, and the chariot was over- turned on the near side. Mr Green and the coach- man were thrown from the box a considerable dis- tance ; and " the latter was picked up iu a lifeless state, and carried to the Cross Keys Inn, on a shut- ter, where medical aid was instantly procured. Several persons ran to the assistance of Mr. Feather- stone and his friend Mr. Btitgoyne, and on raising the body of the chariot, Mr. Featherstiuie was found a corpse, with his head crushed to atoms, and Mr. Burgojne dreadfully injured. Alford, the coachman, now lies without hope of recovery ; and Mr. preen is in custody ; and against hint and the coachman a verdict of Manslaughter has been re- turned.

A SMVSGLER Snot.— On Tuesday night, as a . party of six smugglers were proceeding along the coast, near Middlelon, about two iniIra from Bogiior, they were stopped by Lieutenant Npwnbam and his party, belonging to the Preventive Guard, when a serious conflict ensued. A most powerful fellow named Charles Horn attacked, the ' Lieutenant; whom he knocked down. The latter, however, recovering himself, seized his antagonist, and, drawing a pistol from his pocket, threatened to fire if he made any more resistance. The smuggler instantly snatched a second pistol from Ihe Lieote- nant's pocket, but before . he had time to cock. ity the Lieutenant fiie'd at the smuggler, who fell dea# at his feet. The other five were taken ; but St| e of them is covered with wounds, and not expect- ed lo survive. Horn, who was shot, has left a widow and five children, and, we understand, Jras. only discharged from prison about nine days ago, where he had been confined for a smuggling trans- action. Lieutenant Newnhani is seriously injured, nnd lies in a dangerous state. The whole of Ihe men taken have large families.— One of them eight children.

[ From our Private Correspondent.] In ibe HOUSE or LOROS, this evening, Earl GROSVENOR, afler some remarks as to Sinecures in some of the Courts of Law, made some observa- tions as to the delays in Chancery, nnd also upon the Commission appointed to inquire into Ihem.—• The Loan CHANCELLOR rebutted the statements respecting the emoluments of the office of Lord Chancellor. Notwithstanding the returns made to the House of Commons on the - subject, erroneous statements prevailed amongst the public, hut he had no hesitation iu saying that the emoluments of his office, as Chancellor, were not so great as the income he derived when he practised al the bar. Much obloquy had been thrown upon him, and he felt it his duty to stand up and defend himself against it If it was thought that these, unjust attacks would induce him to quit office, Ihe indi- viduals who held thai opinion would be much disappointed. Only deal out to him common justice, aud they might dispose of him as they thought proper. The kind treatment he had met with from those who knew him was a set- off against the unjustifiable attacks which had been made against him. The Noble and Learned Lord, in a strain of considerable energy and feeling, defended himself and other persons holding high judicial situations against the calumnies which had been levelled against them, and observed, that if persons of character holding high situations iu Church and Slate were to be sacrificed to clamour and insult, the Peers of Ihe country could nol long exist.— The Noble and Learned Lord sat down amidst lite cheers of the House.— After some fur- ther debate, Ihe Bill which gave rise to Ihis discus- sion ( viz. the Judges' Salaries Bill) was read a third lime. I11 the HOUSE OF COMMONS, this evening, a Petition which had been withdrawn on a former evening, was again presented, from a Mr. Jones, complaining of a Bank iu Bristol, for refusing lo give gold iu exchange for their own notes, and prajing thai the House would take the subject of the Currency into consideration. Au extended conversation look place, in which several Members argued ( hat Ihe Local Banks Act had rendered nugatory Mr. Peel's Bill for restoring a money currency, in fact, instead of gold being plentiful, llierc was little but local notes lo be met with in the country.— It was agreed 011 all sides that Country, Bankers were bound to give gold for their own notes, if required; and Mr. J. SMITH and others urged the necessity of the money cur. rency of the country being restored, as was in- tended by Mr. Peel's Bill. BIRTHS.

Latin Epigrams, in the University of Cambridge, is this year adjudged to Dr. Butler's distinguished pupil, Mr. B, H. Kennedy, of St. John's College. We learn, from the Dublin Papers received Ihis morning, the further proceedings of the Catholic leaders, in their purpose of forming a new Associa- tion. A Committee of twenty- one persons has been nominated, to ascertain iu what way, if any, the law of the present Session, for putting down the Catholic Association, can be safely violated. This, in plain language, is their object; aud we shall wait very patiently till we see what these sages determine. The French Papers contain an Edict of Ihe King of Portugal, repealing the whole bodv of prohibi- tory laws hy which the trade of that kingdom has been hitherto confined and crippled, and substi- tuting a duty of 30 per cent. Another instrument of the same date makes a considerable reduction in the export wineduty; the reserved revenue amount- ing to but two- fifths of that form rly payable on the article— This is, we believe, ihe first instance in which ihe new British system has been adopted upon the Continent of Europe. Letters were received this morning, by one of the. most respectable Greek houses in the City, from Trieste, dated 10th June, which contain official news, received there by an English frigate, that had arrived, iu seven days, from Corfu, that Navarino was in possession of the Turks. The letters also state, that great dissentioil and dis- union prevails amongst the Greeks. N:> i a word, is mentioned respecting the burning of the Egyp- tian fleet by tite Greeks, as was reported.

The Baschurch Female Friendly Society held their Anniversary 011 Friday last, when Ihe Rev. H. Harrison, of Pontesbury, delivered lo them an applicable discourse, from Galatians, chap. 5, verse 13—" 110 love serre one another,"'— fraught with point, beauty, and argument. As usual, Ihe company afterwards advanced to the Green, and enjoyed Ihe pleasures of the mazy dance, the weather proving highly favourable 10 the, diversion EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCBVM- About a fortnight ago, as some men were riiotfiiig a field belonging lo William Charlton, Esq, of Apley Castle, dear Wellington, in this county, they were much surprised to see a wild duck fly oh a crow's nest, which had been made in an oak tree the preceding year, iu flying from which, soon after il was finished, the crow that built it was shot by Mr. Charles Green, the gamekeeper. One of Ihe mowers soon climbed the tree, which was situated about 140 yards from the mansion, 10 from a small pond, and about 300 from the pool, and on arriving at the nest, 37 feet from Ihe ground, was again surprised to find that it contained nine duck eggs. These not being disturbed were, at Ihe beginning of last week, hatched, and produced nine young ones, and notwithstanding the apparent difficulty that the ducklings would meet with in getting from the nest to the small pond, Ihcy all did gel there in safety in two days afler they were hatched, and are now preserved in the stew.— An occurrence of a somewhat similar nature took place iu the neighbourhood of Loton Park about 25 br 30 years ago, but that was in a very low tree, whjcb in high floods was surrounded by the Severn. Committed to our County Gaol, Richard Finch charged with having received eight ounces of boiled beef, of the value of two- pence, and twenty eight ounces of bread, of the value of four- peuce, the property of the Guardians arid Directors of the Shrewsbury House of Industry, knowing . the same to have been stolen; aud Richard Hill, charged wilh having stolen two shawls, of the value of seven shillings, the property of Elizabeth Evans, of Ihe parish of Si. Chad. A Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors was held at Worcester, on the 18lii inst. when four Insolvents, foi fraudulent conduct, were remanded for various periods of imprisonment, and a fifth, the celebrated William Cocks Johnson, was again remanded lo amend his schedule.— Eight Insol- vents were discharged ; among whom was Thomas Jones, formerly of Hallow, maltster, of Whitton Court, farmer, of Coreley, hallier, and lale of Cleobury Mortimer, innkeeper. Accounts from all . districts of the country agree in stating that the wheats, now generally iu ear, wear a most promising aspect, and encourage Ihe hopes of an excellent crop.— The weather has been singularly variable during Ihe last week ; after days of extreme heat, 011 the next morning ice has beets actually observable 011 standing' pooh, and we are assured ihis was the case both oil Tnesda and Wednesday morning last, to the thickness of a shilling. The effect has been greatly 10 check the barleys and oats, but it has been more Seriously injitiious to the bean clop; we arc told, that on one farm in Ihis neighbourhood upon which forty acres of beans are growing, so severely did the frost operate upon ihe plant as to completely the blossom from She stem, and reduce the prospect before presented of an abundant produce, lo seatcely Ihe expectation that more than the seed will be re- turned. We hope, however, this mischief will not prove to be general.— fVorCtster Herald. HOUSE OF BRUNSWICK.— The recent declar- ation of ( lis Royal Highness the Duke of York 011 Ihe subject of the Roman Catholic Claims having'excited ail extraordinary feeling of pleasure among the Protestants of the United Kingdom, il may be curious and satisfactory to compare bis sentiments with those of his illustrious ancestors and'contemporaries of the House of Brunswick, as they will be found of ail uniform tenor: GEORGE the FIRST'S Speech 0: 1 opening the Parliament iri: 172i—" It seems un infatuation not to be accounted for, to hope to persuade a free pen pie, in the free enjoyment of all that is dear and valuable to them, to exchange freedom for Ha very, the Prpteslant religion for Popery ; and toj sacrifice at once the price of so much blood and treasure as have been spent in defence of our pre- sent Establishment. Let it be known, that the fepirit of Popery, which breathes nothing but con fusion to the civil and religions rights of a Protest- ant church and kingdom, has not so far possessed my people as to make them ripe for such a fatal change." GEORGE the SECOND'S Speech in 1745—" I have, throughout the whole course of my reign, made the law^ of the land the rule of my Government ; and the preservation of the Constitution iu Church and State, and the rights of my people, the main end and aim of all my actions. It is therefore the more astonishing that any of my Protestant subjects, who have known and enjoyed the benefits resulting from thence, aud have heard of the imminent dangers these kingdoms were wonderfully delivered from by the happy Revolution, should, by any arts and management, be deluded into measures that must at once destroy their religion and liberties, intro. dnce Popery and arbitrary power, and subject them to a foreign yoke.— The maxims of this Con- stitution shall ever be the rules of my conduct. The interest of myself and my people is always the same, and inseparable. I11 this common interest , let ns all unite; and all those who shall heartily and vigorously exert themselves in this just and national cause, may always depend on my protec- tion and favour."' GEORGE the THIRB'S Speech on his Accession to the Throne, 1760—' « The Established Constitution in Church and State shall be the rule of my Govern- ment." GEORGE the THIRD'S Declaration on rejecting the importunities of certain persons relative to the Roman Catholic Claims—" I have resolution to descend from my throne to a cottage ; and I have resolution, if need be, to lay my head on the block ; but / have not resolution lo deny my Coronation Oath before GOD ." GEORGE the FOURTH'S Answer to an Address of the Roman Catholics of Ireland, 1820— Afler ex- pressing his " earnest wish to see all his subjects happy," His Majesty concluded, with this observa- tion—" It must, however, be recollected that 1 am PROTESTANT KING." COMBINATION AMONG WORKMEN. The illowing, which is extracted from Ihe speech of Mr. Huskisson on the Bill for the Consolidation the Custom Laws, conveys Ihe opinion of Government oil the important subject of combin alions:— The Right Hun. Gentleman said that the change of system about to be introduced would lav the foundation of gradual improvement and national rosperity. " it is ( he continued) peculiarly called or at the present moment, for sure I am, that if the ystern of combination cannot be repressed by the interposition of the legislature, it must he repressed by giving increased facilities to the importation of foreign articles. The consumers of this country cannot and ought not to be compelled lo pay iiuna- nrally high prices— and the people at large placed nder difficulties and disadvantages, merely from these attempts to prevent the free employment of capital and labour. I am ready to say this, that if the shipwrights of England will not act in such a manner as to allow the unshackled employment of capital in ship- building, aud to leave the artificers at liberty to follow their own views of interest. Parliament must allow the introduction of foreign- built vessels. I would say the same to the operative classes in all branches of manufacture. 1 would tell them to beware of the consequences of the course into which the designing nre inveigling- them. The necessary consequence of pursuing it must be, that the country will not submit to such dictation, but will remove those restraints which, 11 articles of necessity, comfort, or luxury, have lithertu given the artisans of Great Britain the advantage over foreigners. If resort be had to these offensive and illegal combinations, injurious in the long run to all, the country must not stand still, but the ports must be opened to the production of the industry of surrounding nations. It will then be the duty of Parliament to teach these deluded men that they must conform to the regulations necessary to maintain a due distribution of capital, and the unfettered employment of labour. I con- tend that at present 110 such freedom exists; and if il be not obtained otherwise, we must secure it, not by coercive penal laws, but bv augmented competi- tion— competition 011 the part of those who will give us the fruits of their industry on equitable and rea- sonable terms." O11 Thursday evening the Right Hon. Gentleman made further reference to the same topic, bearing more immediately 011 the present combinations among shipwrights and seamen; and on that evening Ihe Registry of Ships Bill was read a third ime and passed, with two additional clauses, the one empowering the Crown to licence British Ships to proceed to Foreign ports for repairs, upon occasion of Combination among the Native Ship wrights; the other allowing to Ihe Crown a like power to licence ihe manning of British ships with Foreign seamen in the event of combination among Ihe seamen of Ihis country.

Extract from the Report of the Select Committee appointed to consider of the several Returns made in England and I Vales. The Poor Rales levied in the vear ended on the 25th of March, 1824, was £ 6,833,630. In compari- son with the. year 1817- 18, as the year of highest amount, there has been a decrease of £ 2,486,810; but, compared with 1822- 3, exhibit a declension of no more than £ 64,523. The Expenditure upon the Poor in 1823- 4 falls short of the amount of 1822- 3 by £ 38,742 only. The average of three years, ending I11 March, 1815 ( the concluding period of the war), was £ 6,129,844 March, 1818 6,844^ 90 March, 1821 7,273,535 And in the 3 years ending in March, 1821 5,955,292 The expenditure in the year 1823- 24, being £ 5,734,216, is lower than thai of any year since 1815- 16, and only excceds that of 1815- IS by £ 9,710. 7' lte counties in which the Poor Rates have in creased, are Bedford, Berks, Cambridge, Dorset, Essex, Lincoln, Norfolk, Oxford, Southampton Suffolk, Warwick, Wilts, Cardigan, Carmarthen Carnarvon, Denbigh, Flint, Merioneth, Pembroke and Radnor. The rate of increase varies; it is eight per cent, iu Wilts; seven ill Berks and Suffolk; six in Southampton; five in Norfolk four in Essex; three in Bedford and Carmarthen and less than three iu the other Counties named. The only two counties ( Anglesey and Brecon), i which, in 1822- 3, the expenditure was larger than in 1821- 2, now exhibit a decrease. In these, and ir Buckingham, Cornwall, Devon, Durham, Hereford Hertford, Huntingdon, Kent, Middlesex, M011 mouth, Northumberland, Nottingham, Salop, So merset, Stafford, Surrey, Sussex, Worcester, York Glamorgan, and Montgomery, it is less than fire per cent.; it is five per cent, in Chester, Cumber land, Derby, St Westmoreland ; six in Gloucester seven in Lancaster and Northampton; eight i Rutland; aud eleven in Leicester. Sussex still appears as the county in which the expenditure upon the poor hears the highest pro- portion to the 11 timber of the people ; and Lancaster continues at the other extremity of the scale. The Worcester paper states, from authority, that Mr. Huskisson has abandoned all intention of carrying into effect. bis contemplated alterations iu the leather duties until Ihe next session of Pat lia meul. He has also suspended his proposed inea sure to admit French gloves aud leather. Two female* have been committed to Worcester gaol for horse stealing iu the neighbourhood of Tenbury, Ihe early pari of last week ; they wer apprehended between Malvern and Upton, having sold 1 he stolen horse at tiie latter pi ice.

N I C H O L L S , Stamford Street, Blaekfriars Road Mi& itUanesm MtclliQzncc. " Between William Kelly and Helen Henderson,' a tender attachment bad subsisted for years. Both resided in the parish of ( JIT, and, liitle anticipating . the calamity that followed, t hey, vvith joyous hearts, fixed their wedding- day for Friday week, the 10th current. A number of friends were invited, and the ceremony was to be performed at Meikle D; il beatiie's. On the Thursday preceding* she became suddenly indisposed, and, on some one asking her tO lie down a little, touchingly replied, 41 Y e s ; hut it must be in a soft place, for oh ! i feel as if I would never rise a g a i n . " In , the course of the day she became worse, and a doctor having been sent for, he declared the complaint to be of userious nature, and indicated from the first his fears as to the issue. Next morning the wedding party began, to assemble, tbe worthy clergyman also arrived ; and then, alas ! the house of joy was unexpectedly turned into the house of mourning. The unhappy bride, whose sands of life were well nigh run, was humanely made aware of her situation ; the heart- broken bridegroom was also warned that death was in the cup ; and, amidst the tears and sobs of all present, they w e r e mutually interrogated whether, under such an awful dispensation of PROVIDENCE, the proposed ceremony should proceed or be delayed? A question so t r y i n g was, perhaps, never put under similar circumstances ; aud after communing with their own hearts, the bride expressed a wish to close her eyes as an affectionate wife, the bridegroom to discharge the duty of a sorrowing widower, by laying the head of his betrothed in the grave. This resolution added not a little to the agony of the scene; the mournful party approached the couch of the dying woman ; the divine favour was most pathetically invoked amidst many interruptions from hearts that seemed ready to burst from the bosoms they agitated ; the bridegroom grasped the burning hand that Was languidly extended in token of assent; tbe worthy clergyman pronounced a blessing, and in faltering accents made those one whom in less than twelve hours death severed and sundered for ever. We cannot dwell on what followed. The eyes that affection had for a moment lightened, gradually waxed glazed and dim ; the bridal- bed became the couch of death ; and she who, but a day or two before, bad been rejoicing in the prospect of conjugal felicity, w- ai stretched a lifeless but lovely corpse.— Dumfries Courier* At a convent at Caen, in Normandy, they keep an exact terrier of all the lands which formerly belonged to the Monks of their order in England, in hopes it may be one day of use to them.

Numerous cases, incontestible and authentic, which have been effected by this extremely simple method iu the great hospitals in Lombardy, leave no doubt as to the power of this specific. Singular Ocnrrence in Entomology.— The numerous species of aphides are now found ou many plants, bearing au appropriate name from each. Those which infest the rose tree and bean, are possibly most under observation. One is green, and scarcely distinguished from the colour of the young leaves; the other is black. The intercourse between these insects and the ants is curiously de scribed in a recent publication. 41 That ants should have their milch cattle is as extraordinary as that they Should have slaves. The loves of the ants and aphides have long been celebrated ; and that there is a connexion between them, you may at any timej in proper season, convince yourself; the former will always be found very busy on those trees and plants on which the latter are found; their object in thus attending upon them, is to obtain the saccharine fluid, which may be denominated ibe milk, that they secrete.

A WREN'S NEST.— The following pretty little incident is authentic. In the spring of last year some timber was felled in Scholes Coppice, at the extremity of Wentworth Park, in this neighbourhood. On Monday last, the trees, after lying on the spot where they had been hewn down, more than 12 months, were removed on cutts to ihe carpenter's yard, at Wentworth- honse. On Tuesday, a small bird was seen several times alighting amougthe timber or flying* away from i t ; which exciting the curiosity of one of the workmen, he carefully examined the wood, and found in a hollow part of one of the trunks a wren's nest with six young ones, full feathered Ii was evident, that this little family had encountered most extraordinary perils during the transportation of the timber from the place where it had lain, to the premises where it was then deposited, being* ihe distance of three miles; and, when tbe violence necessary for raising the trees upon the cutts, the jostling by the way, and the concussion with which they would be dismounted, are taken into consideration, tbe escape of the nestlings is almost marvellous. But this is the least interesting, and perhaps the least wonderful part of the story. The mother- bird, with all the feelings of tenderness and anxiety of which her affectionate instinct was capable, must have either watched the whole process, and followed the removal of her household to the end of the journey ; ( it may be remarked here, that the carriage stopt some time in the village of Scholes, by the way;) or she must have sat closely upon the nest, all the time. Be this as it may, she faithfully attended to feed and fondle her offspring on the nest, till Thursday morning. On that day, there being an unusual noise among the young* birds, a workman took pity upon ihem, and procuring proper provision, carefully fed them. In' the course of the day, thus repeatedly, " He still'd the clamours of the craving- neat." In the evening the old lady returned, and all was tranquil ; next morning she and her little ones had disappeared.— Sheffield Iris. T I T S K I N G ' S V I S I T TO N O R T I I U M B K R L A N6 HOUSE.— It has been a great object of the Duke of Northumberland to procure a visit from the King to his ancient family seat al Charing- cross, and particularly since he has expended such immense wealth upon it, under the direction" of Mr. Cundy, sen. the architect, and bis Grace prides himself that the whole of the new furn.> ure ami decorations are wholly of British manufacture, and all the arlizans and tradesmen are Englishman. The King, iu compliance with the wishes of his Grace, to view the costly improvements, alterations, and decorations of his mansions embraced the opportunity of the absence of the Noble Duke of viewing the premises iu the most private manner possible, and in consequence all . formal reception of the King was avoided, fits Majesty entered Northumberland House in a private car* riage, on Friday afternoon, at four o'clock, attended by Sir Charles Long. Mr. Nash, the architect, had arrived at the mansion a few minutes before to receive the King. The only person of the Noble Duke's establishment, who had the honour vi attending the Ring, was the Duke's housekeepei, who conducted his Majesty through the principal suites of apartments. His Majesty ascended the grand staircase, which is considered unique, being of solid marble, and was conducted through the dining- rooms, drawing- rooms', the supper- rooms^ the Duke's private rooms, & c. See. which occupied1 the King about half an hour. FiR. ES — Early on Friday morning last, the premises in Obi Bridge street, Manchester, in the occupation of Mr. Drew, grocer, and Misses Holden, milliners, were destroyed by tire. The premises were not insured, but the occupiers were insured to the full amount of their loss.— Early on Wednesday evening, tbe factory of Mr, Leeds, near Gee Cross, Manchester, was reduced to a 1 c - * " ised to » ave arisen the properly was heap of ruins, by a fire suppo* from frictiou on ihe shaft : insured, DR F A DFUL FI RE.— Monday afternoon, bet ween two and three o'clock, a dreadful and destructive fire broke out in the village of Honiton Cl vst, about four miles from' Exeter. The origin of this heavy calamity is not exactly ascertained, whether it commenced in a bakehouse or a blacksmith's shop. The wind being rather high, it soon communicated to the houses opposite, tlie roofs of which were mostly thatched, and proceeding with rapidity up the village, cleared both sides of the road till it reached the Parsonage- house, having in the short space of three hotirs destroyed 34 bouses, being nearly the whole o f t h e buildings of this thriving little place.— Unfortunately, when it broke out, ihe whole of the working population were at l eir labours in the fields, who instantly on tlie discovery hastened home. On tbe arrival of the fiieengines from Exeter at the ruins of what bad been in the morning a peaceful and happy village, such was the intense heat, that they were obliged to make a circuit to' gain the head of the village, which they reached in time to save the large premises of the Rev. W. M. Bagnell, aud the few remaining houses. The fire being now got under, the inhabitants began, at nine o'clock, to search the- ruins, and found the remains of an old maw, 70 years of age, named Ash ford, and a female nearly of the same ag* e, burnt almost to ashes.— The gentlemen and tanners in the neighbourhood were very active iu opening their houses and barns to shelter the sufferers, and i:- i administering to their wants. Henry Savary, and other convicts, are ordered to be conveyed forthwith from Bristol, on board the hulks, preparatory to an eaily transportation to New South Wales. The Tunnel under the Thames at Rotberhithe has commenced, and the sinking of the shaft is onef of the most ponderous and wonderful untleriakiugs of the present day. The brick work is 450 feet m circumference, laid in cement, three feet thick, anil 40 feet high; a powerful steam engine is placed ou tbe top, and the men are working below filling ihe boxes; others on the top, and the windlasses winding the boxes up till they reach the hoppers. The whole of this vast body, engine, men, keep gradually sinking into the earth, and when on a level with the surface, another shaft of like dimensions is built on the top, with the face of the intended tunnel worked in the side. When this is down to the surface, a third- is. built ou il ; and continued in thesame manner Tbe whole moving weight is computed at about 2000 tons. In the last number of the Philosophical Magazine is a description of tbe new compass, in which tiie magnet is not used, its olace being supplied by a machine, which is moved on the principle of the common watch. Captain Parry has taken out one of these instruments. BUGS D E S T R O Y E D BY STEAM — S t e a m is s a id to be an effectual means of destroying this noxious insect. It is only requisite to expose the place where they herd for a short lime to lb? action of steam, and the more, the water boils ^ belter; it kills the eggs as well as the v< rmin. The employment of this method is both o ouvenient and so cleanly, that we think we need say nothing of the mode of applying it, nor by way of recommending il to trial.

At a time when Mineralogy so deservedly engages the public attention, a work of this kind must be regarded as an interesting and useful production; the Author, a Practical Chemist and near rcla'tiv of ihe writer of the Scientific Dialogues, appears to have laid down such plain and easy directions, that a person unacquainted With the general - elements, of Chemistry can, by their means, with comparative facility, determine the nature of all the different ores and mineral substances he niary happen to meet with; Ibis, we should think, cannot fail of being a desideratum, both lo holders of estates and persons travelling iu foreign countries. The work, also, explains the general methods now in use, of smelling and refining the different metals from their ores, the various places in which they are found, the description of apparatus used both in the large and small way, Ihe use to which some of the rarer melals are applied in the arts, & c. & c. The whole is comprised in rather less than 400 neatly printed pages, embellished with plates of apparatus, thereby rendering it of a convenient size for the pocket, whilst the price is reduced to such a degree, as to render it accessible to every individual. Post- Office—- Mail Coaches. There are about 1000 persons, Members of both Houses of Parliament, and a few others, privileged to dispatch, free of postage, twenty letters daily, Sundays* included* and to receive fifteen daily, not exceeding an ounce in weight, each; equal to 280 siri^' e ' letters, weekly, forwarded, and 360, weekly received: so that the privilege of franking letters, alone, to a banker, or person iu an extensive line of business, may be estimated as equivalent to £ 1200 per annum. From the high numbers marked on some of the mail coaches ( I think I have noticed ' Upwards'of 160), very exaggerated notions are entertained by some, botii in country and in t > wn; with respect to the number of coaches actually engaged in the convey- ance of letters. 1 have heard it broadly asserted in il> n I'ouHirv, ' hat J00 coaches"' draw up to the Post- Office in London, every evening, to receive their respective loads of letters — Of the actual number of coaches employed, 1 am not informed ; but there are twenty- one only employed to convey the letters in and out o,'"" London. Of these, five leave London at Hyde- park Comer, viz. Southampton and Poole ; Exetcrand Falmouth ; Bath, Exeter, and Plymouth . Bristol ; Gloucester,:— two by Oxford- street, viz. Worcester and Ludlow; Warwick and Birmingham. These seven do not draw up to the Post- Office, but the letters are conveyed, by carls, to the inns or offices from whence they respectively depart. All the rest draw up to the Post- office, ten to fifteen minutes before eight o'clock every evening, except Suudav, and are ail dispatched within twenty minutes,-— six J caving London by Islington, viz. Holyhead, through Birmingham and Shrewsbury ; Holyhead, by Ches- ter • Liverpool ; Manchester, on to Carlisle ; Leeds; Glasgow: - three by Shoredich, viz. Edinburgh ; Lincoln and Hull; Norwich, by New- market :— one by Whitechapel, viz. Norwich, by Ipswich : — and four over London- Bridge, viz. Dover; Hastings; Brighton; Portsmouth. From the lines of road traversed by these Coaches, divergences of conveyance take place, at distances of ten, fifteen, or twenty miles, sometimes oil horseback, and sometimes by foot- carriers; and, in the midland comities, Oxford, Worcester, Birmingham, Lich- field Derbv, Nottingham ; in the western counties, Exeter, Bristol, Gloucester; aud in the northern counties Manchester, Carlisle, Leeds, and York,— form great points of intersection, so timed, as to afford an admirable facility of intercourse, and interchange of epistolary'correspondence, not only with Loudon, but to and from and with every part of the country reciprocally. Taking the conveyance of the letters from London, to and frTmi Liverpool, as an example, from which to draw some general conclusions, as to the aggregate number of coaches and horses in tbe conveyance of letters the result will be as follows, viz, the convey- ance to anil from Liverpool requires four coaches and twenty relays of horses; which, averaging five horses at each station, makes a total of 100 horses : and, proceeding in the same order of calculation, the twenty •• t'her direct lines of road from London may l> e considered as averaging ' he same number,— making a total of about eighty- five, coaches and 2000 horses, employed in conveying the letters to aud from Lou don* and the cross- road mails may be considered a employing about a corresponding number; and 500 additional* horses, for the bye- posts, or divergences from the line of road run by the coaches,— making total of about 170 coaches, and 4500 horses, employed by the Post- office of Great Britain. There are 544 Deputy Post- masters in England and Wales, and 278 in Scotland : several, or most of which have a sub- agent for collateral distribution ; so that, perhaps, but little or nolhiug remains to be done tu make the order of distribution, in the general department, as complete as possible. To do more would, perhaps, be over- doing, and retard, rather than facilitate, the distribution ; and all that is now required is a strict watch to- prevent any relaxation of activity and duty, or introduction of abuse. The General Office, in London, employs about 200 superiutendants, clerks, and sorters, and about 220 in delivering. The Foreign Department, about twenty sorters and clerks, and thirty- four in deliver- ino* • and the Two- penny, about fifty sorters and clerks. Ofthe number employed in this department, in delivering, I am not informed, hut the total nuin bor of persons constantly engaged in the distribution of letters iu all Great Britain, may be considered as exceeding 2600 ; whilst the total charges aud wages is only about £' 140,000, or an average of £ 53 each person per annum. But the aggregate emolument of the persons employed, may be considered as amounting to double what appears on the face of the accounts; all the bye- posts charge Id. each letter, in addition to the legal postage; and Id. pe mile for delivery at villages, or houses, situate at a distance from the post station. The General Office in London closes at seven o'clock every evening; but letteis are received, up to half past seven by [ FROM THE BENGAL HTJRKARL ] The Burniaiis are in general men of low stature, biit stout, muscular, and capable of enduring great privation. They all wear long hair, which they tie in a knot on the forehead, and are generally clad in a silk resembling plaid, which ihey fasten round their middle, s » as to make a large lump in front of them. They are almost, all more or ies& tattooed; some from the navel down to about a span below the knee, and others on ofie leg only. They are pos- sessed of amazing activity and strength, and the postures in which a Burniah throws himself while engaged in pugilistic and other athletic games, are scarcely to be credited. In what vie call bottom, they are not inferior to Englishmen, and thev resem- ble us likewise in their love of boxing, and similar ahinsements. In true bravery they take the lead of all other Asiatics, as no one who has ever had an opportunity of seeing them at RaHgoon,- will be disposed to deny. Touching their peculiar mode of a r fa re, we have as yet been able to learn but little, though we are in hopes of acquiring morf' interesting and useful knowledge on lhat point ere very long- hut we know that every man capable of bearing arms is compelled to do so when the exigencies of the state require his assistance. This, however, is a regula tion which, with certain modifications, has been common to almost every nation where the art of war was yet in its'infancy, and regular armies unknown; so lhat it cannot be mentioned as characteristic of the Burmese. Every European, who may be mar lied to a native Christian, is compelled to serve ii person, on'like occasions, or to provide a substitute: and in prosecuting the present war, these rules will doubtless be rigidly enforced. We are informed, and we believe truly, that the Burtnahs aie famous Or stratagems, and that io the execution of them they display a wonderful degree of patience, cool, ness, ami intrepidity. Hence an ainbuShed Burundi ill not move though the enemy's foot should be ithiii an inch of his person ; aud it must be allowed that there are few who, at such a moment, would be equally still and collected. We think this a species Of information by which our troops mav eventually benefit, ay by small detachments in particular, too much caution cannot be used^ however quiet and apparently free fiotn enemies the part iu w hich they operate may be. One ruse was practised with sue. cess at Doodpatlie, as appears by the detail which a correspondent enabled us lately to give of that affair : aud where a war is likely to be pfo. tracted and similar stratagems employed in ihe course of if, we are not sure that a slight check of the nature alluded to, at the commencement, may not prove in the end more advantageous than otherwise, by the necessity which il inculcates of mingling discretion in a due proportion with chivalrous intrepidity. The bow and arrowy and a short sword called dah, having a blade of about a foot and a half in length, are weapons with the use of w hich ihe Burmese are said to be very perfectly acquainted, and they possess abundant courage to use theui either in close or distant combat. Their war- boats are generally from sixty to one hundred and twenty feet in length, but very narrow, slid rowed, or rather' paddled,, by men who sit two abreast the whole length. They are quick and dextrous in the management of them, and fo any other than British enemies must be exceed- iugly formidable either on land or water. Indeed we believe it is owing to their former successes in war that they at present have so high, and, iu our eyes, so ridiculous a notion of their own bellipotence, as was evinced by their reply to our late proclama- tion; but we conjecture that their ideas on that, subject will be exceedingly qualified before the approaching campaign shall be brought to a conclu sion. Anecdotes of Dress in the last Century. The love of novelty, il has been truly observed, is the parent of fashion. A> the fancy sickens, says a u nter on the subject, with one image, ii longs for another This is the cause of the continual revolu- tions of habits and behaviour, and why we are so industrious iu pursuing the change; this makes fashion universally followed, and is the true reason Why the awkwardest people are as fond of this folly • is the genteeiest u Tiie party coloured coat," says tbe author of a Treatise on Dress, published in 1761, " was first worn iii England in the time of Henrv I. Chaplets or wreaths of artificial flowers in the time of Edward III.; hoods and . short coats without sleeves, called la harts, in tie time of Henry IV. ; hats in the hue. of Henry VII .; ruffs in the reign of Edward VI ; nd w rought caps a^ d bonnets in the reign ot Quefii| Eliza be lb, Judge Finch introduced the bands if tlie reign of James I. ; French hoods, bibs, and gor gets were discontinued by the Queen of Charles f llie corn mode, or tower, was introduced in the year 1687 ; shoes of the then fashion in 1633 ; breeches instead of trunk hose, in 1634 ; and perukes were first worn a- ter the Restoration." About the year 1700, the Ladies wore Holland petticoats embroidered in figures, with different coloured silks and gold, with broad orrises at the bottom.— M uffs were lit this period iu use, but very different in shape and materials fqiun those of the present day, being in general very small, and fre- quently made of leopard skin, Diamond stomachers adorned the ladies' bosoms, which were composed of that valuable stone set in silver iu a variety of ures, upon black silk, and which must be admitted ' o have been a brilliant, if not elegant ornament Satin gowns vvere lined with Persian silk ; and handkerchiefs,, and Spanish leather shoes, worked with gold, Were common with persons of respecta- bility, To these different articles the ladies added bare necks, with gold and other crosses suspended from them.— Those odd liitie pieces of black silk called patches, prevailed also at this period i<> a most extravagant degree These were stuck ou various parts of ihe female face; and varied in size. Fre- quent aiidsioiis are made to these fancied " beauty spots" by early comic writers In 1709, a lady's dress is thus described in an advertisement to recover one that was lost:—•'" A black silk petticoat, with a red and white calico border; cheiry coloured stay's, trimmed with blue and silver; a red and do? e- colour damask gown flowered with large trees; a yellow satin apron, trimmed wilh ' White Persian ; muslin head cloths with erowsfbdt edging; double ruffles, with the edging; a block silk fnrbelowed scarf; and a spotted hood." In 1711, a lady's riding dress is advertised for sale, in the Spectator, of blue cam bier, laced with silver, being a coat, waistcoat, petticoat, hat and feathers. And another advertisement^ in 1712, mentions an Isabella- coloured-& incob gown, flow- ered with green and gold ; and a dark- Colonred cloth gown aud petticoat, with two silver orrices; purple and gold atlas gown, a scarlet and gold atlas petticoat, edged with silver; a wrought under petticoat, edged with gold ; a lack velvet petticoat allegab petticoat; striptd with green, gold, aud white'; a blue and silver silk gown and petticoat; a blue and gold atlas gown and petticoat, and clogs laced with silver. A Mrs. Beale, at the same period, advertises her loss of a green silk kniu waistcoat, with1 gold and silver flowers all over it and about fourteen yards of gold and silver thick lace on if ; with a petticoat of rich strong flowered satin, red and white, all in great flowers or leaves, and scarlet. flowers with black specks brocaded in raised high, like velvet or shag. The ladies wore hooped < p< tiicoats, scarlet cloaks, ; and masks, when walking. The hoops were fair game for the wits, and they spared them nut :— " An elderly lady, whose bulky squat figure, By hoop, and wliite damask, was render'd much bigger, Without hood, and bare- neck'd, to the Park die' repair, To show her fine cloaths, and to take the. fresh air : I^ fer shape, her attire, raised a shout. and loud laughter; Away waddles madam, the mob hurries after. Quotha wag, 1 thus observing the noisy crowd follow, As She came with a hoop, she's gone off with £ hoiloo. An advertisement, in 1703, gives a whole length port MI it of a youth in middle life. Such a figure would attract " much wonder in the streets of London at present. " He is of a fair complexion, light brown lank hair, having on a dark brown frieze oat, double breasted on each side, with black but tons and l/ ui'ton holes; a light dregget waistcoat, ed shag breaches, str'rped with black stripes, and black stockings." * The letters are sent to the Post- office, but are not forwarded from theuce until Monday. OURANG OU TANG. On the 51 h of January last. Dr. Abel read in the Asiatic Society at Ca'cutta, some observations on the skin and some fragments ( which had been presented to the Society) of an Ourang Ouiang, which had been killed on the coast of Sumatra, and which seems to have been the largest arid most remarkable animal of this kind that has ever been seen by Europeans. It appears, that an officer of the ship Mary Anne Sophia was on shore at a place called Ramboon, near Touromon, ou the west coast of Sumatra, where he discovered the animal iu a tree. He assembled iiis people, aad followed him IO a tree in a cultivated spot, on which lie took refuge. His walk was erect and waddling,- but not quick, and he was obliged occasionally to accelerate his motion with his bands; but' with the bough of a tree he impelled himself forward with great rapidity . When he reached the trees his strength was shewn in a high degree, , for with one spring he gained a very lofty bough, and lavunded from it with the ease of the smaller animals of his kind. Had the circum- jacent land been covered with wood, he would certainly have- escaped from his pursuers, his mode if travelling by bough or tree being described as apid as the progress of a very fleet horse. But at Ram boon there are but few trees left, iu the midst of cultivated fields, aud amongst these alone lie jumped about, to avoid being taken. He was first shot on a tree, aud after having received five balls, his exertion was relaxed, owing no doubt, to loss of blood'; and the ammunition being about this tinfe expended, they were obliged to have recourse to other measures for his destruction. One of the first balls probably penetrated his lungs, for immediately after the infliction of tbe wound he slung himself by bis feet from a branch with his bead dow nwards;, and allowed the blood lo flow from his month. On receiving a wound he always put his hand over the injured pari, d the human- like agony of his expression had the natural effect of. exciting painful feelings among his pursuers. Wiih the assistance of the peasantry, who seemed as amazed at tbe sight of the animal as the crew of the Mary Anne Sophia, never having seen one before, although living w ithin two days'journey from the vast and impenetrable forests on the island, they cut down the tree on which he was reclining exhausted; but the moment he found it falling, lie exerted his remaining strength, and gained another tree, and then a third, until he was finally brought lo the ground, and forced to combat his assailants, who now gathered very thickly round discharged spears and other missiles against him. The first spear, made of very strong sort of wood, which would have esisted the strength of the strongest man, was broken by hiin like a carrot, and bail he not been at this time in almost a dying state, it was feared that he would have severed the heads of some of the party ith equal ease. He fell at length, under iunu erable stabs inflicted by the peasantry. The animal is supposed to have travelled some distance lo the place where he was killed, as his legs were covered with mud up to the knees. The bands and feet, of the animal had great analogy to human bauds and feet, only that the thumbs were smaller in proportion, and situated nearer the wrist- joints ibaii the thumbs of human beings generally are. His body was well. proportioned; he had a fine broad expanded chest and a narrow waist. His legs, how- ever, were rather short, and his arms very long' though both possessed such sinew aud muscle, a left no doubt of their power and strength. His head was vveil proportioned with his body; the nose was prominent; the eyes large, and tiie mouth larger than the mouth in man. His chin was fringed fr » m the extremity of one ear to the other w ith a shaggy beard, curling luxuriantly on each side, and form- in altogether an ornamental, rather than a frightful appendage to his visage. The hair of his coat was smooth aud glossy, of a reddish brown colour, when be was first killed, and his teeth and whole appear- ance indicated that he was young and in the full possession of bis physical powers. He was nearly eight feet high,— It is observed by Dr. Abel that, of the small animals more particularly know n in Europe under the designation of Ourang Outang, one is an inhabitant of Africa the other of the East. These animals were long considered as varieties of the same species, although iu point of fact they are very distinctly separated by external character and ana- tomical distinctions, the African animal beingalways black with large ears, the Eastern specimens as invariably having reddish brown hair, and very small ears; the former always being unprovided with sacs communicating wilh ihe windpipe, whilst they are always found iu the Calcutta Government Gazette, Jan. 13. last, energies of life in a long term of confinement, hich produced a fatal distemper that carried him his grave. Of such stuff is the leadership, of the Catholic Board composed. Even the most constant, as well as eloquent frieiid of civil and religious liberty that Ireland ever produced, the intrepid and ardent Currati, could not conceal his disgust and vexation at their proceedings, and he utilised them in a philippic, in which lie inter mixed the highest moral indignation with the most a lis tie satire. Do they proceed with more wisdom nd honesty at present? After the time to which we have adverted, " the Board" sunk into very general contempt and complete insignificance; lis it any energy of their own that caused its resurrection ? Not at all. Tire discouragement hi- eh the Marquis of Wellesley's administration gave to the Orangemen operated like an electric aj. l upon their adversaries. They derived that new Confidence from the Government which they after- wards turned against it; for it is not many months since O'Connell declared that it was " safer to be the Marquis of Wellesley's enemy than his friend," yet it was the administration of this very Nobleman that renovated the fallen courage of the Catholic leaders, raised them out of ihe " slough of despond," in which they had been long wallowing, and placed them once more iu the paradise of licentious oratory. Their present determination to have a new Rent and a new Association is of a piece with all their political conduct. The lawyers, who the other day professed their willingness to barter the rights of their poorer countrymen, in order to obtain silk gowns and other good things for themselves, now make another effort to extort money from those very people whom they volunteered to sell. Their evasion of the law will, however, he but a paltry, shuffling, ineffective contrivance; they will only prove their factious sfpirit to be much more strong than their constitutional desires. So long as the Government of Ireland is liberal, they will be conceited and insolent— they will employ their priests as " tax collectors," the people as the adder of a turbulent ambition, but real danger will remind them of their conscious weakness, and reduce them to their original dimensions. f$ U0£ cIlan£! 3t! 0 EntclHgtncr.

J The Roman Catholic leaders tell us that they are to have a new Association, and a new Rent. They boasted of their obedience to the recent law on th side the water— they vaunt their evasion of it at home; already the Journals in their interest de clare that the plan of the new Association is ma lured, but that it will not be disclosed until Pariia iiient shall have risen, lest other Legislative mea sures should foil even the ingenuity of Jesuitical politicians. This is well. It shews the spirit of • the system of which they are the oracles; whoever were deceived by their affected submissivenes* must now be more* capable of fixing the true value of their assertions. Was their pretended obedience dictated by a sense of their duty as British subjects, or by the temporizing spirit of modem Home? The event has shown. When they gave the Unqua- lified promise of submission, it was with a mental reservation that they would adhere to it no longer than a sense of their own interests dictated. Had they said, <( v\ e will obey the law if you grant us all we ask, if not, we will evade it," such ifierVace would have drawn down upon them scornful refusal. The proud spirit of England would have dashed back their insolent compromise; with disdain. Their avowed champion, O'Connell, affected a meekness of purpose— a gentle suavity of tone, which gained him great credit with uiatry unsuspecting people. They forgave his previous violence— they were willing to forget his former acts of intemperance and folly, under the impres- sion that He had at length been convinced of the mischievous course which Ire had been pursuing, and was become penitent of his errors. Those w ho knew O'Connell and his party better entertained no such notion. The former history of the' Roman Catholic Board afforded such experience of their character, intellect, and intentions, that all who were acquainted with it Were competent to form a very exact estimate of the men who claimed to themselves the distinction of holding in their hands the peace of the empire and destinies of Ireland. They were formed at one time into1 what was called the Catholic Committee ; various districts through- out Ireland sent representatives. For some time they conducted their debates with a show of'mode- ration, but emboldened by impunity, they trans- gressed freedom, and became licentious. The Government resolved to put the Convention Act in force against them ; some of their leaders expressed a determination to become tiie martyrs of the cause; not one of them kept his word. One of their men, of greatest authority at that time ( Major Brien), who distinguished himself by the violent resolutions which he was iu ihe habit, of proposing, and the rampant patriotism that procured for him the acclamations of the mob at Aggregate Meetings, when put to the proof of his declamation, showed that moral courage was the last gift with which nature had thought of endowing him. He pru- dently declined to avow the signature which he had put to a string of intemperate resolutions, as Chairman of the celebrated meeting at the Black Abbey of Kilkenny, if the salvation of Ireland depended on his voluntary sacrifice, it must have waited a long time before he tied himself to the altar. He saved his personal comforts at the ex- pense of his patriotism, and was compared to a mock Curtius, who having resolved to devote himself for his country, approached the gulf into which he was to jump, but on coming to the brink, took second thought, and leaped clean over to the other side This gentleman is now once more a zealous and hustling person at Aggregate Meetings; he again popular, and will he so I bug as patriotism is measured only by the length and loudness of a speech. O'Connell, too, thought fit to consult for prudence at the expense of chivalry ; he denied certain expressions which the papers in his own, interest had published as having been uttered l?. V him in public, and the arm of the then Attorneyr ; General was paralysed — not by the firmness of his opposition, but the stoutness of his denial. He, at least, in that instance, preferred " inglorious security to the laurels of honourable danger." Another distinguished leader of that time, known by the title of " Counsellor Scully, now the avowed author of the work on the Penal Lows, a: lowed publisher of that work to go to prison, having been tried and convicted of a libel which it contained He was an old man in an infirm state of health, though conscientious enough to adhere to a promise which he had made not to give up the author. Scully was strong and in the vigour of life. Yet this feeble old mail did he allow to waste away the OXFORD, JUNK 11 -— The names of those can- didates who, at the close of the Piibiiu Examinations in Easter Term, were admitted by the Public Exa- miners into the Three Classes of Literae Humanrores a I J d P is ci pi i u ai M a T hem a t icSE et P h y s i cse re s pec t i V E 1 y, according to the alphabetical arrangement in each class prescribed by the statute, stand us follows : In the First Class of Lit.

We have often heard of Ihe strange disreputable kind of Officers who command the American Mili- tia; and however reluctant' we have hitherto been to credit the fact, our doubts are now removed by the following statement, copied from the Philadel- phia Qaz. tte of the 3d of May :— The following is the result of the election held yesterday for Colonel, in the 84th Regiment, Penn " Militia. John Pluck 437 Major Hosker 64 John Ferday ( Whistling Johnny).. 15 " Colonel Phic/ c is, as every body knows, Head Groom at the Tavern at the corner of Third and Cal- lowhili- slreets, Philadelphia, and was some months ago chosen Commander- in- Chief of the 84th but t'' the powers that be" refused to commission him,. whereupon a second election became necessary, and it lias resulted in a manner that must afford sincere pleasure to all 4k friends to popular right: In Another regiment, we Under, stand, - a , si mil; faice is to be played off. The popular candidate is Mousieur a liitie gentleman, a barber, who cannot speak English intelligibly SEIIAMFORE, EAST INOIES.— Intelligence is stated to have arrived, announcing an unexampled rise in the Ganges, which has been attended with the most destructive consequences. The account has been icceived from one of ihe Missionaries at Serampore, who states that the Gauges swept away,- in that place and its vicinity, several hundred houses, and drowned some thousands of the in- habitants. The large Baptist Mission- house, in which were ail the printing presses, has been nearly destroyed, although some part of the paper aud .' types was saved, as were all the ma iuscripts. The large new college also is safe, having been built on higher ground. The venerable Missionary, Dr. Carey, was in the Missionary- house at the time, ( in a convalescent state, after a fever,) and as the waters advanced, he was with difficulty removed; soon after which ihe walls fell, and all was desola tion. Nothing was said of Calcutta, which lies on a different side of the Ganges to that of Serampore, and oti somewhat higher ground ; but the lower parts of Calcutta have probably suffered from this - dreadful visitation. The next tidings from India will be looked for with great anxiety, from an ap- prehension that all the towns and villages in the course of the river may have been similarly affected. The disaster at Serampore occurred in the night, which greatly aggravated the evil. At a letting of the tolls at Puddle Hill gate, which took, place at Dunstable on Friday last, those tolls fetched the unprecedented sum of £ 3,070, being an advatgee of £ 1,059 per year, ou any pre- vious letting. Accounts received on Tuesday from Trieste, of the 7th of June, confirm the news of the destruction of the Egyptian vessels at Navarino. It is added, that at the same time the land forces of the Pacha sustained a total defeat by ibe Greeks before lhat town. The date assigned to the action is the 10th of May. The Emperor of Russia has decreed lhat the estates of noblemen guilty of prodigal extravagance, licentiousness, or illegal tyranny, shall be taken from them, and committed to the care of guardians! Some peasants lately found in a cavern in the forest of Spit litz, in Silesia, 6000 ducats, coined in Flanders during the time that country was subject to Spain : ihey also discovered skeletons of horses, and a quantity of arms. It is conjectured that this was one of the scats of the celebrated Secret Tribunal. Sydney Gazettes to the 10th of February were received on Monday. An expedition across the country to Western Port had been undertaken by two individuals, Messrs. Howell and Hume, which bad led to the discovery of a very rich and exten- sive tract of country before unknown, and which is described as the finest in point of soil, and the most English in point of climate," of any before explored. The utility of the discovery is much lessened by the difficulty of access to it h , land, inasmuch as between Sydney and Western Port theie were no fewer than four distinct chains of mountains, some of them so lofty as lo have Ihe summits covered with snow in the midst of sum mer; but the extreme fertility of the country around Western Port was such, that colonization, it was conceived, must necessarily follow il, and Ihe communication by sea presented no material obstacles either in point of lime or difficulty of navigation. Tbe f> ort was excellent, and a naviga ble river, inferior to none in the colony, extended into the heart of the country. Major- General Sir Hussev Vivian has been ap pointed Inspector- funeral of Cavalry for England. A bill of naturalization in favour of Mr. Van Wait, of Birmingham, has received the Royal Assent.

The ground* are also lo undergo considerable alteration, and a piece of water will form a new feature amongst their beauties; this addition will not only improve the effect, hilt will answer a most use nl purpose, in- asmuch as the soil procured bv excavatt, n will bt employed iu raising- a mound, to he thickly planted, w hich w ill exclude the view of the new slahles from anv part of the domain. From Mr. Nash's taste every thing may be expected ; although we believe il is no secret, that to the personal suggestions ,. f ihe Sovereign himself manv of the improvements in progiess, connected with ihe removal of tbe Court from Carlton house, are attributable. The alteration consequent ttpoii the demolition of Carltou- liouse will be one of the most splendid yet eftVcled in that part of the town. A square, corresponding with Waterloo- place, will be opened towards the garden, but separated from it by an iron railing. To the right and left of this, facing the garden, on a tenac four or six first- rate houses will be erected, and three more on the site of the present riding house — all of which will have the advantage of a view into the garden and park ; while from Regent street the iview wiil be uninterrupted across the Parade io Westminster- abbey, Nothing can he more beautiful than silt M a prospect; and on the other hand, the magnificent change to be worked at Charing cross w iil secure to London a u place" not surpassed in grandeur and variety in any city in Europe. But, perhaps, the generality of the public are not yet prepared to understand, that from this grand square, in which a fac-' simile of the Parthenon, the porti o of St Martin's Church, the HeraUPs College, the College of Physicians, the Union Club, the Athenarian Olub, aud a splendid fapade to the present buildings of the King's Mews, are to he collected, a street upon the same scale as Regent, street is to be, built, annihilating the neighbourhood of the Seven D'als, ami part of St. Giles's, arid leading- directly to the British Museum. In the front of the Museum, it is proposed to insulate the church of St. George, Bloonisbury, and leave a grand area in front of that bUMding, while, at the other end of the street, the beautiful church of St. Martin is also to be insulated— a change w hich not only will bring that magnificent structure to the . eye of the public, but also place the front of Northum- berland- house as a feature in the square to which we have already referred. — Evening paper, The purchase of the Adelphi Theatse, by Messrs Terry and Yates, is completed, these gentlemen having paid down a deposit of £ 4000, to the re pres< ntatives of the late Mr. Rod well. OBSTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR OXFORD STREET, LONDON. On Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, the utmost consternation prevailed through- out the vicinity of Welts- street, Mortimer- street, Great Titchfield- street, and Margaret- street, Caven dish square, in consequence of a fire having broke out in the workshops of a Mr. Crpuzet, a carver and gilder, and picture- frame- maker, in Great Titclr. field- stri et, which soon extended to the houses in the four above- mentioned streets. The fire was caused by an accident in tbe shop of Mr. Crouzet, A workman had placed on the fire a kettle, contain- iug'a compound called French polish, w hich, during, his absence, boiled over, and set fire to the shavings of wood. Before any property couid be removed, the whole building was in a blaze, and the flames communicated to the premises of Mr. Wool ley, a stable- keeper; Mr. Stoddart, a piano- forte manu- facturer; Mr, Stout's mahogany und timber- yard; Mr. Messer, a coach- maker; Messrs. Bolton and Sparrow, upholsterers; and to the Chapel of Ease, in Saint Margaret- street. The above premises run in a parallel line w ith Oxford, street. The engines were sent for, and information was conveyed to the Pnli. ee- offiees of Mariborough- slreet and Mary- la- bonne, and the magistrates and officers of those establishments were in prompt attendance. They found the crowd so much iu the way of the . firemen, that it was determined to apply to ihe Iviiig street Barracks for the assistance of the military. A party of the Guards soon arrived, and were placed iu Wells, Mortimer, Titchfield, and Margaret streets, to keep off the multitude. The troops rendered efficient service, and prevented many robberies from being committed bv the gangs of thieves which had assembled. The Magistrates, Messrs. Dyer, Con- ant, and Rawlinson, placed the officers and patrol in different streets to aid the firemen, and to prevent plunder. The Westminster and the Royal Exchange Engines were the first which arrived; by which time the flames had reached such a height, that the whole neighbourhood appeared to be doomed to destruction. From the timber- yard of Mr, Stout, and the shops of Mr. Stoddart, the flames were carried towards Weils- street; and the premises of Mr. Peais, perfumer; Mr. Laugley, oilman; Mr. Arnold, grocer; Miss Siorer, and Mrs. Venue?', next door, burnt with great fury. The back part of Mr. Mickland's premises was much injured. The flames continued to extend towards Mortimer- street; and tbe houses of Mr. Wales, cabinet- maker; Mr. Hunt, card- maker; Mr. Reid, sofa and chair- maker ; Mr. Kensett, cabinet maker ; and of Messrs. Holt and Scbeffer, were in a short time entirely gutted, and reduced to ruins. Though most of the Loudon Fire Office engines had arrived and played, upon the burning premises, yet for a long time the torrents, of water poured thereon appeared not to have any visible effect in extinguishing the flames. The pipes of the engines were conveyed through several bouses in Titchfield and Margaret streets, to piay on the piles of timber in the yards of Messrs. Stout aud Stoddart, their stock being very considerable. The livery stables belonging to Mr. Woolley, and adjoin- ing the backs of the houses in Margaret- street, were entirely destroyed ; fortunately tlie cattle were removed. A China and Staffordshire warehouse in the same yard was also destroyed, and about forty crates of goods But the most serious occurrence which happened in this yard was the destruction of some of the valuable carvings belonging lo the Duke of Rutland, which had been deposited in one of the warehouses, and were insured in the Westminster Office to a considerable amount. In the whole, not less than 30 houses and shops have fallen a prey to the flames, and the loss is estimated at an enormous amount. Many ofthe sufferers were uninsured. It is stated that not fewer than one hundred families have, by this melancholy catastrophe, been deprived of a home, and numbers of them who were lodgers, have lost all they possessed, except the property they carried about their persons.

The Historical Novel, in two Volumes, just published, entitled the * Twenty ninth of May; or, Joyous Doings at the tieatoi at ion,* is likely; we should think, to suit the public laslc, as no period of our history affords a more interesting epoch for the display of that original discrimination of character, in which the observant Author is known to excel. Au orange tree in the garden of G. C Fox, Esq. of Grovehill, Falmouth, is now laden with upwards of a hundred of Ihe finest fruit. The tree has been in an exposed situatiou for the last ten years, and bore two years since more than Ihrce hundred oranges of the first quality. Jt is believed to be the only tree of the kind iu the West of England that bears fruit without the aid of a green house. There is now living al Little Bedwin, Wills, a woman named Elizabeth Sopp, who, on the 2d of this month, attained her hundiedth year / For ihe last M) years she has been on the parish books: und it is calculated lhat the money she has received" with Ihe interest and compound interest, amounts to more than £ 500. She has been able lo read the church service within the last year, and her memory is not in the least impaired. Her present allowance from the parish is 12s. per month; and the Rev. Mr. Newton (^ tbe late vicar) allows her 4s. per month.

J 3 COMBINATION LAWS — In consequence of the evils, insubordination, and, in some cases, crimes, which have occurred within the hist year from the' combination of workmen in different branches, it h is been found necessary lo repeal Ihe Ac! of last Session.— A new Act has been brought into Par- liament, which, while it allows the workmen to meet to consider of regulating the rate of wages or the price of work, provide? that all attempts to ioiimidale or controul masters or workmen as ta> their individual modes of carrying on work. See. shall be punished by imprisonment and Ifard la- bour; so that, although the parties who assemble lo make regulations mav agree to the resolutions adopted, thev are to be effectually restrained from injuring or intimidating those masters or workmen' who may choose to keep aloof from their proposals- or assemblies. JUDGMENTS.— In Ihe Court of King's Bench, on Monday, Mr. Amphlert, the editor of the Puffery Gazette, who' was convicted at the late Stafford Assizes, of having' published a libel ou Messrs J. and W. R'dgway, manufacturers carrying on trade at : Hanley, in the Staffordshire Potteries, was sentenced to pay a fine of,£ 50,. and lo give security for Irs good behaviour for two years, himself in £ 200, and two sureties in £ 500 each. The King v. lldUingberry and others.— This was an.' indictment against Charles Paulet VI dlingherry, an attorney, John. Smith, and James Bow ley, for unlawfully conspiring to extort money from Josiah Taylor, by prosecuting and offering to compromise two indictments, charging lirin with keeping a com- mon gaming- house. The jury found all the defeud- unts guilty, but expressed their opinion that the charges contained in ihe indictments against Taylor were not false. — Mr. Justice Bay ley proceeded to pass the sentence of the Court. That they considered the crime of keeping a gaming- house as a very bigiv one, the sentence previously passed on Taylor suffi- ciently proved ; hut this, like every other offence^ ought to be prosecuted, wot for private gain, but f ir purposes of public justice. The learned Judge. then, went through ihe evidence as applicable to Hollino-- herry and Rowley ; and after intimating that tiie. former must he struck off' the roll ofattornies, not as a part of his sentence, but as a necessary consequence,, sentenced HoHiugberry to six months' imprisonment in the custody of the Maishul, and Bowley to two months' imprisonment, iu addition to the ihree which, he had already suffered. As to Smith, on the suffi- ciency of the evidence. against whom some doubts had been raised, ihe Court. passed no judgment, but directed him to entei into his own recognizance to appear if called on at a future day.
