PRINTED AND PUBLISHED) EVERY SUNDAY MORNING, BY THOMAS RIGDEN, ALBION LIBRARY, DOVER. No. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1825. Price Seven- pence. ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC. The publication of onr first Numbers de- mands From us an explanation of the motives which have induced us to embark in the present undertaking, and of the line of conduct we intend to pursue in its progress; and although the former has been detailed at some length in the Prospectus which we have already sub- mitted, it may not he lorei-. ni to onr pa^ es to enterinto a recapitulation of them at the present moment And here we mitfht intrench our- nelres under that general avidity for Literature Which pervades all classes of society, visiting alike the cottage of the Peasant and the palace of the Prince, did not other and more local motive* come to our assistance. Amid the stu- pendous mid still increasing rise of literature, and of periodical publications in particular, which forms one of the t- bief characteristics of the present ajie, it n\ nst have occurred to many a reflecting mind as a matter of surprise and been contemplated with regret, that so large a population as the CINQUe POrTS pos- sess, should he without a Journal primarily devoted to their interests, the register of their internal occurronc. es and the guardian of their varions privileges. What these privileges are, from whom and in what manner obtained, and by wlr. it means circumscribed or lost, must have been a subject of the greatest importance in every age, and yet it is a plain wader of fact, that till the present moment tto attempt has been made or plan suggested, which by noting down from timo to liuie," each moment as it flies", might invite to the protection of those privileges when openly assailed, or prompt to their assertion, when either a careless or timid acquiescence in any measure likely to endanger them might. form a precedent, for their annihilation. To accomplish these purposes, would we trust be sufficient to warrant our design, hut general utility is not wanting as a further incitement. In a Maritime and Commercial, no less than a Political point of view, the importance of the CinQUe PORTS cannot be denied; these very advantages first procured for litem rights and privileges peculiarly their own, and so long as commerce shall waft its immense and - varied treasures from all parts of the World along the british Channel, such importance must continue; nay more, the very existence of an opposite. Continent stamps them as one of the most important bulwarks of ( ireat Itritain. , Thus situated and thus important they become an'object of the deepest interest to no small a proportion of the Inhabitants of the British Dominions. The Statesman be- , ? iolcl » in them the Channel whence proceeds his varied diplomatic correspondence; To the Merchant they perhaps for the first time during a long and anxious period, convey the pleasing prospect of his long expected treasures in u fair passage to their ultimate destination, or with no less interest, though of a different nature, a^ touud him with the iicntt rending intelligence of his frail bark consigned to the bosom of the uupitying deep; while to the fashionable world and the public at large llicy present an ever varying scene, and constant succession of events which never fail to gratify the eye, and engage the attention. Fjritdy convinced therefore, that the path is TaTrly open, which if properly beaten cabnot fail of proving acceptable to the public in jreneral, we have ventured to enter into it,' and in so doing are w ell awarn of the im- portance of the attempt, and the difficulties we - shall have to encounter in onr progress. - Appealing however with the utmost confidence to the candour and generosity of impartial and liberal criticism, we proceed to enumerate j • a few of the leading points, on which we solicit for the CINQUE PORTS HERALD, tliat patronage and encouragement, which it shall ever be our endeavour to deserve. With respect to polities] matters we shall merely remark that we shall n-- ervelo onrseh cs the undoubted right of every Englishman, to weigh in an impartial balance the passing j • events in the great theatre of political life. ' fearlessly rendering to all, what may be the the result of our dispassionate consideration. It will be our aim to support by every j means in onr power the privileges of the CINQUE PORTS collectively and individually, and to this end we shall weekly lay before our readerf a correct and faithful detail of their internal occurrences, and of every in any way connected with them. The shipping interests will • of course, from our locality, engage our peculiar attention and in this department, it will be our study to bold up to public encouragement those intrepid exertions, which, fearless of impending danger form so noble a characteristic of the British seaman: and to comprise, every other maritime occurrence, which can ho interesting to the commercial or curious reader. To our advertising Friends, and to any in- dividual occasional correspondence with which we may be favoured, we shall ever be ready to pay prompt and diligent attention, and we pledge purselves, that no expence shall be spared to render the CINQUE PORTS HERALD worthy of general approbation, and Ui comprise within its pages a mass of information at once useful, amusing, scientific, and instructive.

That this is partly the consequence of the mania which under the name of public improvements, has ab- sorbed a great part of the surplus capital, usually advanced at this time of the year, by monied men, and the country banks, is un- questionable : But there are other causes which, no doubt, co- operate to aggravate the distress— whether to be attributed to the Bank of England, or the Government, it would be difficult to decide between the con- flicting testimonies of the Stock Exchange and Dov/ ning-' street-^- one thing is clear that until a settled sy8tem can be devised which may regulate both parties, and settle the money transactions, as it is proposed to re- gulate the commercial averages, the exchange between us and other countries must fluctuate alternate profit and loss, to the great injury of labour and capital. A few months since the Consols were 98 within a fraction, and the more permanent stocks such as the 4 Per Cents, See. wer6 nearly 12 percent, beyond the present prices, and thongh the fall holds out inducements to the re- investment of stock sold out on ac- count of the high prices ; yet while a larger per • centage'is to be got on real securities, few will prefer Hie former to the latter— stocks therefore are'now likely to find their level , which at no rate ought to exceed 75. Besides the capital of England has always been over- rated, ? rnd in the way it is now dis- persed,- and - siheef England hasAecome the proprietor de facto, of the national debts of Eitrope, she cannot venture to withdraw her wealth from, the several, foreign states she has supplied ' with money, without irretriev- able loss and ruin to herself and others. / The depression of the funds is only therefore the natural consequence of the, abstraction- of the surplus circulating capital, of a large propor- tion of the public who trade m money. But if the funds fall, what must be the fate of the Joint Stock Companies, or of those whose ends, in a public point of view, are of a more legitimate charactcr? why, they mnst at least stand still, its during the present panic the most respectable of them enn never hope to enforce a future instalment. In some provincial towns considerable sums of money lias been withdrawn from circula- tion, by improvements in ( heir nppetw* ftce, and accelerating the means of Trade : hut it may be doubted how far the capital invested, or about to be invested, if ever paid np, may not hereafter be required, in the evevt- dav transactions of the. merchant and trader, a » d that while he could transact his business in in the usual way, it would not have added to his personal convenience and comfort to have retained the portion of his capitsd so locked up. In truth those best acquainted with the x'edit of local establishments near to London, know that the most wealthy expend the prin- cipal part of, their fortunes in the metropolis, arid in innumerable cases draw their supplies from home, so that the Tradesman can tittte more than furnish himself and family the decencies and. comforts of life, his capital be- ing often stinted, aad these perhaps he would find difficult to proenre. if the country Ban- ker, with the view of circulating his notes, and obtaining interest upon a few stationary balances, and his own capital, did not advance to and dlscout for him, as his necessities re- quired the assistance. The actual capital of England is more than sufficient* to keep the the balance of trade in our favour, if employed in exporting our own product, and bringing back the materials we consume iu our manufactures and employments. But the evil lies in the dealers in money, who vary their transactions without an eye to the bona fide trade of the country, and overload or distress it with, or the want of, capital, as it meets the caprice of their transactions. The Bank and the Government., and next to these the country bankers are blamed for fluc- tuations which neither of them has the power to contronl; or if they had, would they dare to contend with the infatuations of the money market. If it be a maxim of free trade, that all established arbitrary fiscal regulations are prejudicial to trade, would not the introduc- tion of a law to regulate the tank issues,' b^ r as futile as any other axiom to determine the polity of a state, which must change with circumstances ? The present convulsion there- fore in the money market appears to me no- thing more than ( ho re- action of what has been going on by advancing money to other States, which has drawn men from the prin- ciples to be observed in commercial affairs, to operations for the individual benefit, and which though foreseen and checked at the time, by the prudence of Government, bad gone too far to retract the engagements, which both in honour aud principle they had committed the country to fulfil. It has been said by a London paper, that by converting the 5 Per Cents into 4 Per Cents, the Government has thrown the per- sons who held that and other heavy stocks, a species of annuitants, to deal in Colombian and other foroign stocks, by the way of keep- ing up their incomes, but if the Government had not resorted to this mode of reducing the interest on the national debt, in what way onld ( he assessed taxes have been lessened, by M'hich persons possessing no property at all, have been so muchbenefited. This paper and all the persons opposed lo the Govern- ment forget that the fundholders have been considered as fair objects* of such rdduCtion? that they still coutend for further reduction, which inust, if corttemplated by the Govern- ment, be provided for either through the stockholders or the proprietors of land ; the latter of whom are still more or less assessed by the unavoidable expences of the State. ' The French papers of Tuesday mention i » e death of General FOT, the distinguished Op- position leader . n ( he Chamber of Dcp. ties. We have received foreign letters which calculated to prepare Us for an immediate . e- cogmtion of the Republic of Colombia by the I « rench Government. Indeed, it is affirmed by one of our correspondents, that the recognition took place above a week ago, withoot having been officially promulgated, or suffered to trans- pire but in copfidence. . If hesitate to pledae ourselves absolutely for the abote important tact, it is at the same time ear dnty to slate that the assurance of ii has reached UB through a channel of much respectability, and that it is altogether in harmony with the reeent tone of ( he minwteral journals under M. de VILLILE' influence, Times.

Every man was killed, and the treasure seized by the insurgents. It was the prediction of Mr. HusKisson, and he deserves to have it faithfully remembered, that free trade would produce advantages to this country which would compel other States to follow her example.

Two young women, who had been both disappointed in a love affair, agreed to live as husband and wife, which they actually did, having taken public- house, wherein they continued, above twenty years without any person knowing of the affair, except one man, whom they were obliged to bribe, to keep the matter a secret. They lived together, in a very sober, indus- trious way, the one- who passed for the hus- band having served all the parish offices. Tn this station , they acquired money, and the one who passed for the wife retired into the country and died, but left the reputed husband in'pos- sesaion of the house. On her death- bed she dropped some hints concerning her partner ; aad the man who was entrusted with the secret was continually threatening to make a disco- very of the whole affair unless he was supplied with mohey. The discovery was at last made, but the mean wretch who had l> een so clamo- rous suffered dearly for his_ conduct, being in- dicted and tried for extorting considerable of money. The jury found him guilty, and be was fined and imprisoned in Newgate. A SmugGLER SHOT.— On Sunday last, at an early hour, a man of the name of Stent, while engaged with other smugglers, in ' running a cargo of contraband goods near Salt's Farm, was shot through the body by one of the Coast blockade- men. The ball has been extracted ; but the unfortunate man lies at his own house, at Old Shoreham, without the slightest hope of recovery .-- Brighton Herald. The remains of the unfortunate Mrs. Wood ( who was murdered it such a cruel manner by her husband as mentioned in onr last) were interred ia St. Mary's burying ground on Sun- day. A great crowd of people, who commi- serated her hapless fate, attended the funeral obsaquies. TVith respect lo the wretched hnsband, we have nothing fiirtl « r to add, than that his mind continues in nearly the same state before he committed the horrid deed. It has been ascertained, that he bonght the coal- pick the day. before for the very purpose to which he applied it.— Nottingham Journal. RESTORATION Of STOLEN nOTES.— It will be in the recollection of our readers, that some months ago a gentleman was robbed of bank- notes to a large amount at the Auction- mart, where he attended for the purpose of ' purcha- sing an estate, and the subsequent prosecution and acquittal of a person of the name of Palin. Notwithstanding the failure of this prosecu- tion, Mr. R's efforts have been unrelaxed to trace the notes, and at length he became pos- sessed of a chain of proof of guilty knowledge and participation in the proceeds of the rob- berry, implicating several persons who have hitherto carried themselves erect on tbe Royal Exchange. Intimation having been given to the parties, they after a few days hesitation, restored the full amount of the property, leav- ng this gentleman, however, minus his ex- pences on the Continent in search of his lost property, and those attendant on the prosecu- tion of Palin.— Sunday paper. A Correspondent observes, that as typhus fever is now raging in some parts of Lincoln, and in the county almost generally it cannot be too widely known that nitrous acid gas pos- sesses the wonderful property of destroying the contagion, and certainly of preventing its spread- ing. By the following simple method the gas may be procured at a very small expence— place a little powdered saltpetre, or nit- » >, in a saucer, and pour on it as much oil of vitriol as will just cover it. A copiovs discharge of ni- trous acid gas will instantly take place; the quantity of which maybe regulated by les- sening or increasing the quautity of the ingre- dients. The saucer may be placed iu any con- venient part of a bed- room.— Stamford Mercury.

Ostend, Nov. 30 1825* • It is currently reported at Ostend, that His Majesty the King of the Netherlands, has been pleased to grant and allow permission for Steam Boats to be conducted between Ostend and. Ghent, a distance of 35 miles, by which much facility will be afforded to travellers arri- ving at the above Port, in their progress to Brussels. The principal, object of interest during the last weok has been the Money Market, on whioh toe have given some extracts from tho London papers. Tho opinions of the money- wise men, seem almost as fluctuating as tho stocks: we have inserted the lucubrations of a correspondent, who has added one more to the many already afioat— we deem it unneces-, sary in the mean time to prolong the subject. In the fourth page will be found a report of the proceedings of the King's Bench in the Rye case., A person assuming the title of a Baronet, lately adjourned for a few days at an- hotel in Cavendish- square, where lie hired a carriage from a neighbouring job- master, and made al- together a highly favourable appearance. In a. few days he fouud it necessary to take an ex- cursion into the couutry, and for the discharge of some little pressing demands, drew a check upon Ids bankers, which he gave to his hostr with a solicitation' that it should not be presented, for payment, uuless he returned in two or three days. After he had left, the landlord, perhaps having some uneasy misgivings, thought he would make inquiries at the bankers, where to. his surprise, he found that there wece no eftects. He immediately called upon his neighbour and informed h » m of the transaction. This infor- mation wiis by no means acceptable, as thfe " baronet" had had in his possession, a carria ge and pair, belonging to the job- master. He directly commenced au inquiry, and found that his equipage had been taken to Hounslow, from' whence his horses had been returned. After the visit to Hounslow, the " baronet" it appeared, had gone to Windsor, and back to Kingston, where be had assumed the character of a foreigner of distinction, unable to speak English sufficiently intelligible for that ordinary business of life, and had therefore employed a youth ( supposed to be his son to act as an interpreter: from thence he was further traced to town where he stopped in Bridge- street, Blackfriars and had the. horses., taken off in the street, and sent home, Here all traces of him were lost. The most minute inquiries have been, made, at the job- masters in the vicinity of Bridge- street, but no account of the mode in which he removed the carriage could be learned.— Globe. The above parsonage arrived at the York hotel here on Monday ev « mug, wit„ iiis two sous, and gave order to Mr. Payne, to pay the post boy, toll gates, from Canterbury ; took up his residence for the night, intending to sail for France o„ the following day, but the bad weather prevented his departure. He then returned to Cauterbury, under the pretence of spending the day With some friends and to the interim, Mr. Payne received a letter, appri> ing him of the probability of a swindler visiting him, exactly answering the description of his guest. He followed him to Canterbury, but concealed his suspicion, least he might have implicated au innocent peison. Tue mock baronet returned to Dover, and again took up his residence at the York when the landlord kept people on the watch through the night, and about 5 o'clock iu the morning, it was evident the precaution was not unnecessary. he attempted to make off', but was stopped by the Waiter who alarmed his master.

Dover, THEATRICALS.— The theatre up to the conclu- sion of the lair, has had but an unsuccessful season. Since our last the Romantic Spectacles which we noticed as being so splendidly brought out, have been one or other of them represented every evening uf performance— they have improved in each repetition, and far surpass the ordinary pro- ductions of country theatres. The Vision of the Sun haa afforded Mr. Beek with an opportunity, in the slave Tyco- brac, of commanding attraction for which we were not pre- pared; his performance reflected iin hi in great credit: Miss Scholey made the most of the poor materials she had to work upon: and we almost regretted to see the valuable talents of Mrs. Southey so meanly employed— her humour was a good card IN the piece. Presumption, and Faustus althuUgli not more probable in their respective fables, have the recommendation of being more interesting. Mr. Paul, wi. en we consider his noviciate stage in the profession, was was happy in pourtraying the dumbr- eloquence of the mon- ster iu Presumption; and his Devil in Faustus, particu- larly iu a few of the last scenes, we would say, if we may be allowed the expression," was devilish good. Mr. Green's Faustus displayed good conception.' and although at times for want of a thorough knowledge of his own physical powers he sometimes failed in strength of expression, his last scene promised a future term of celebrity ; having seen him in geutet- 1 comedy, aud in this line winch bears wime resemblance to tragedy, we lave little hesitation in hazard- ing our opinion, that with himself rests tbe certainty of his rising in the profession. Mr. Martin has been added to the company and he is certainly au acquWitiou ; liL » ta- lents sufficiently warrant Ihe hold he h. s obtained oil the town as a favourite: his Irish somgs remind us of tbe days of Johnstone, and Ins cooiixly is elieetivc aud as free from buffoonery as could possibly be expected in so young a I perfomier. We hcanily wish Mr. Paul more success at Sandwich than he has met withat Dover. The ne » pitc- Si now in their mora advanced slate of improvement will, we hope, attract the public attention, aud lead to tl » e means of rewarding the manager, that bis Sun may not set on a blight- ed treasury.

Our Pair of St. Martin terminated the eight days' festivi- ties on Wednesday. Like many fairs of the same descrip- tfcm it gave indication of its inutility by being; thinly at- tended—. is it has for several years on the dccline. It would be an amusing topic to trace some of these festivals through their various shapes and character, from their insti- tution to the present day, and would probably tend to illus- trate the doctrine of expediency. The most ancient of them which were instituted for religions communings, when de- votion fagged, called in auxiliary assistance by the perform- ance of mysteries by the monks; and when these ceased to attract tl< c mob, in time was introduced the facetious Mr. Punch and family, as well as becoming the scene of annual traffic for the mattered population in country situations. Their convenience in thjs particular has in a great measure been counterbalanced by the i road of nefarious dealers, and Ins inclined the public more to seek the counter of a respect- able shopkeeper, whose residence in the place seemed a bet- ter guarrauty for a fair transaction. The rural gambols of the country fair have long been spoiled of their innocent complexion, by becoming the fount of sharpers and pick- pockets, and frequeutly the scene of disgraceful riot. Like the sports of the Fancy, however, the abuse may reform it- self, and where the meeting Is not necessary, for purposes of trade, in process of time it may contract its evils, or die a ngering death.

Thomas Law Hodge Esq. in. the chair. The object of the meeting was to adopt measures for the purpose of answeriug a bill now filed in chancery, against six of the principal hop- growers in the parish, for the establishing a right to Tythe on Hops, from which the parish haS hitherto been free. An ardebt and cordial spirit animated the meeting, and a propect of the landowners to bear two thirds of the expence, and the Tenants the other third, in opposing this attempt to infringe upon their privileges, was unanimously adopted. A com- mittee, consisting of Lord Cornwallis, T. L. Hodges, Esq. and other gentlemen was appointed, and C. Willis, Esq. was chosen their solicitor. Early on Friday morning, a fire broke out in a house of Mr. Reeds, at Naccolt, which was burnt to the ground, the teuant narrowly escaped suffocation; from the circumstance of its originating in the uight, the house we understand was not insured for more than half its value. A serious accident liappened on Wednesday last to a man named Epps, in the employ of J. Rigden, Esq. at Faversham a Colt which Epps was leading from the stable, reared, and falling on him broke his thigh. on Thursday night last as Mr. Furmstone, the Abbey farm faversham. was returning home troma friend's with Mrs. F. in a one horse chaise, a dog flew at the horse, which immediately started at full speed through the streets, when near Mr. Shepherd's Brewery the horse fell, Mr. and Mrs. F. both were thrown out, and although bruised, we arc happy to say were not serious'y hurt. At the Monthly meeting of Magistrates at Faversham on Thursday list, a lad named Bowles was committed to hard labour for 14 days, and fined 10s. for ahsconding from the service of— Pratt. Esq. Minister, Sheppy, who pressed the punishment on the ground of previous misconduct, be- having absented himself from bis employer last year. On Saturday evening the 26th ult. two ruffians who had been seen begging in the course of the day, entered the Stalbe of Mr. Tapley, at Orpinge, just as the Servant had finished attending his horses, one of the villians held the lad. and prevented his calling for assistance, while the other rifled his pocket of an old silver watch. with which they got clear off. they are supposed to reside in the neigh- bourhood of Hythe.

Dcc. 2.— 0 » she 24th Nov. last, Mr. Martin Walker was put on Ijoard the West India ship, Cecrops, Gillman, com- mander, as pilot to conduct the said vessel from the Downs to Portsmouth. On his departure be. was to all appearance good health and spirits. Yesterday, however, a letter was received, stating that on the morning of the 28th, he was seized with an inflamatiou of the bowels, which dis- order was of so virulent a nature, as to occasion his death ateight of the evening of the same day ; the corps^ was then shrouded in two blankets, lashed to a hammock and committed to the deep. The ship was at this time at anchor Dungencss Roads, wind- bound, where a boat might have been easily obtained to bave « ooveyed the body to the shore. The deceased was a very honest upright character, well respected by all who knew him, and has left a widow and children to lament the irreparable bereavement they have sustained. This circumstance has occasioned no small degree of concern in the town, especially amongst the maritime class, for what pilotjaware, as| lie natnrally must be of the ins- ability of human existence, would, recollecting the fate of the uufortunate alluded too, venture to trust himself on board a vessel, without first obtaining a surety, of dissolution, his body should be sent to Jiis friends for interment ? It would perhaps be unjust altogetl » er to oondemu the conduct of the Captain unheard, but we think it highly necessary on the return of the Cecrops to England, that an investigation should immediately take place, dud On explanation be given of that which in the present instance se^ ms somewhat shrouded in mystery. This I will venture lo assert, that had . Capt. G. possessed more of the " milk of human kindness," he would have naturally conceived it woultl. prove a consolation, though a melancholly one, to theafflicted ofispirngi to have followed an affectionate parent to the grave, and would have felt it his duty to have taken gome pains to ensure its accomplishment. On Friday last the body of a man sewed up in a hammock, was washed onshore near Cock Point; lie is supposed to have died at sea : it was decently interred iu Folkestone Cnurch- yard, by Messra.

The Lincoln Mercury contrins the following details con- nected witii the death ol the Duchess of Rutland which me- lancholy event took place on Tuesday. " Her Grace so lately is Friday last was engaged in in- ' specting the progress of the numerous workmen employed iu completing the splendid decorations of the grand drawing- room at Belvoir, which, it was intended should have been first opsned on tlie occasion of the Duke's approaching birth- day : she also took her accustomed exercise, and wixjte sev- eral- letters. In the evening symptoms of the disease with which she was severely attacked a year ago,. began to mani- fest themselves; but on the following day they appeared lo have abated very considerably. At two o'clock on Sunday morning, Mr. Catlett, surgeon to the family,. who sleeps in the castle, was hastily summoned to. her Grace's apartment, and found her state so extremely dangerous as to excite the most alarming apprehensions. Expresses wer « instantly sent off to Doctor Wilson, of Grantham, Doctor Pennington, of Nottingham, Doctor Arnold, of Leicester, and . Sir Henry Halford. The three first promptly obeyed the summons; Sir Henry arrived at the castle from London at 5 o'clock on Tuesday morning, but the hand of death was already on the Duches; all the efforts of the faculty had been unremittingly exerted to arrest the progress of the disorder, but iu vain— from sunday there appears. to have been no hope. Her Grace, whose self- possession was remarkable felt perfectly alive to the imminence of her danger, and the fortitude with which she bore her acute sufferings, and viewed her ap- proaching fate, in tlie highest degree affecting. The Duke never quitted the bed- side till slie . bad ceased to breathe. Her Grace expired at half past 11 on Tuesday morning. Dispatches were immediately forwarded, an- nouncing the alHicting even to his Majesty, to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, and to the various branches of the Rutland and Carlisle families. Her Grace exhibited a union of qualities that are seldom found united in the female character. Ol her elevated tasw, the Castle of Belvoir will long remain a magnificent monument; from its first com- mencement, 25 years ago, she had been presiding genius of the place- " O! shades of Beltoir, where is now your boast ? * your bright Inhabitant is lost." Nor was it on the Castle alone that her active talents w exhibited— the grounds, the villages, the roads, even • general aspect of the country, assumed a new character; every suggestion for the improvement of this beautiful do- ain was zealously , carried into eftcct under the personal iperintendance of her Grace; she produced in • few years changes which a ipmd « nergeti « would liave required centuries to effect. The Duehess was a ptaclical agriculta- rist, andoccupicd a farm escecdisg POO acres; it furnished model of careful and successful management.. As a proof of her ability in this undertaking, site was frequently compli- mented with premiums from different agricultural societies. somewhat singular that, with predilections so strong fbr a rural life, her Grace was one of the brightest ornaments of the English Court; no one ever exhibited so much of graceful dignity. joined to manners of the highest polish, and a condescention that facinated every one who came, within the sphere of its magic influenss, As a wife, a mother, benefactress, she was most exemplary ; her loss is indeed ; irreparable one, and will long he mourned with an affliction that admits of no consolation by hw bereated family. Hi Grace was the fifth daughter of the late Frederick Earl of Carlisle, K. G., by Caroline daughter of Granville Leveson, first Marquis of Stafford— was born on the 13th November, 1780, and married April 33, 1799. NEWCASTLE COLLIERS.— The differehcs Iietween the coal- owners and pitmtn in Newcastle- on- Tyne, is on the size of the measures. A correspondent in the Tyne Mercury gives the following aecount ot tne dispute, which tire, editor says he believes to be correct:--" The fact ii, at Jarro\ » Colliery, the peck by which the coal is measured is two quarts above measure; which makes an increase of labour without remu- neration to a very great extent. The pitman has threepence lialfpenny for hewing or excavating a corf of coal containing twenty- one pecks, but in reality the present eortcs contain tweniy- twoand a half peckn, as tike peck is made to hold 18 quarts. In referring to the table of. tSe dry measure, we learu that eight quarts make a peek; now w|> en that is doubled, ( which is the cusiom of the coal- trade), it will make the peck 16 quarts, to this two quarts have b » en add- ed, and this is the sole and real caine oftlie present distur- bance at Jarrow. I agree with you in condemning the men for leiving their work when under a Iwnd. yet ns the mas- ters have set them the example of breaking through the bond by enlarging the measure, how ruinous this is to the workmen will appear by the following calculation. If a pitman hew 12 corves, ot 240 pecks, of coals per day, and every peek is two quarts above meoiure, he lias lie wed 430 quarts of coals for nothing. The number of days that a pitman works in the year may amount to 2S6, at the rate of 11 days a fortnight, which makes at the end of the year 137,280 quarts, 8, oS0 pecks, or 422 corves, which, at three- pence- halfpenny a piece, amounts to six guineas per year, or nearly 2s. 6d. a- week, for which the pitmin does not receive one farthing! lu a colliery containing upwards of 100 hewers, the owner gains by this method 600L per an- Tbe East India Company took their share yesterday with the Bank in efforts to relieve the commercial world, having given notice that the payment on thf tea then fixed to take place, might be postponed, at the op'Jon of the partis, to a ftiture period, on paying interest for the delay. The pay. ment is estimated at between 300,0001. and 400,0501- Oa Wednesday morning, the 16th instant the most painful sensations were excised in the public mind by one of those melancholy occurrences, which, wherever they happen, cannot fail to possess a mournful interest, and when in a place like Guernsey, where none have occurred during a period of at least 10 years must be deeply afflicting. We allude to the murder committed by Mr. J. J. Chapman, on the person of William Brown. The cir- camstanccs which led to this tragical occur- rence are variously related, and EO doubt can be entertained of" the incorrectness of most of tlie reports. Wc therefore think it most prndeut to abstain from giving any other particulars besides those furnished by the acts of the Royal Court. That which immediately follows is what would be called in England the coroner's verdict;— The Court having this day met, in consc- quence of information given to the Bailiff that William Brown. a native of England, but lately residing in this island, died this morn- iig of a violent death, between the hours of seven and eight, near the house which he oe- pied at the Banks, in the parish of St. Sampson: the Court having gone to the said house, where was the body of the said William Brown, in order to hold an inquest, so as to discover in what manner the said Brown's death was caused; and the Crown officers having summoned two surgeons and several other witnesses worthy of belief, who were ex- amined upon oath, the Court, after having taken the, opinion of the Crown officers, has permitted the body of the said William Brown to be. interred in holy ground, it having ap- peared to the Court that his death was caused by a gun fired by J. J. Chapman, alias Mel- moth, Esq. the load of which gun entered in front and below the elavicula of the right shoulder, and came out behind and through tho shoulder blade, after having cut an artery and brought on an hemorrhage, of which the said Brown died a few moments after, outside and near the said house." After having held the inquest, the Bailiff; Jurats, and officers of the Court, returned to the Court- house, to examine the prisoner. The answers which he made to the questions put to him having been taken in writing, as is usual in cases of this nature, the Court unani- mously committed him for trial.— Guernsey paper. GUERNSEY, Nov. 19.— it is customary in Guernsey to produce criminals the first Satur- day after their commitment ( if the Court is open), and accordingly Mr. Chapman was brought up this day to " plead" guilty or not guilty. The Court was crowded to excess. About a quarter past twelve the Sheriff handed in his prisoner: never did any man present such a different appearance; his eyes were swollen, his looks wild— his whole frame ap- peared to have sustained a year's confinement. The Greftier read the indictment in French, which ran thus :— Joseph James Chapman, alias Melmoth. fils de Jean, ec. de 1a. paroiseo de Dalingworte dans le Comte de Gloucester, en Angleterre, & e. & c. A'c." The worthy Bailiff then read a translatioa of the indictment, which charged him with wil- ful and premeditated murder; and concluded with— Now, Mr. Chapman, are you guilty or not guilty ? Mr. Chapman ( with much dignity)— Not guilty- The Bailiff— And, Mr. Chapman, who would yon wish to select as your Advocate ? Mr. Chapman— Advocate Macculloch— ( this is a nephew of Dr. Macculloch, and a talented young man), and John de Saumarez, jun. Esq. if the Court will allow them both to visit me. This was now decided upon, and Mr. Chap- man bowed, and withdrew to prison. DISTRESS OF THE BRADFORD " TURN OUTS." ( From the Leeds Intelligencer.') We stated last week, that about 1700 of these misguided men found it impossible on any terms to obtain employment, and that the resources of the union were entirely drained. It now appears that, embracing the wives and children of the unfortunate beings, the total number at present in a state of the most abject destitution is nearly 3000! All hope too, we believe, of collecting from the working classes sums capable of affording this vast mass of suf- ferers as much as one penny per week each in future, are vanished. The appalling ex- tremity of distress and despair into which they have fallen, is described by an eye- wit- . ness in terms that freeze tho soul. They are said to be " without fires, without beds, nearly naked, aud many of them entirely destitute of food." Two instances arc particularized:-- " One, of a family at White- abbey, who have not a bed to lie on; the other of a family living near the Wheat Sheaf, which a neigh- bour went in to see on Thursday, and found them without either fire or coals; without a morsel of any thing to eat or drink, without money, and without employment. This family consisting of a man, his wife and five small children. Innumerable instances of a similar nature might be produced, bnt the heart sick- eas at such talcs of misery." The following letter we received last night from our Correspondent:—- " Bradford, Nov. 23, 1825. c' The number of workmen out of employ- ment is gradually diminishing. A meeting has been called, to be held in the Court- house this afternoon, to devise some means of imme- diate relief to the suffering unemployed work- men and their families, and i have no doubt but What can be effected by the kind benevo- lence of the gentlemen tradesmen of the town and neighbourhood, will be done in mitigation of the present extreme distress." It is the opinion of some of the leading monied men, that a portion of the pressure which now weighs on the com- mercial classes, will be transferred shortly to the owners of landed property. Tbe altered vaule of money has induced many bankers and other persons who have lent money on mortgages, to call in the sums so lent, and this has been particularly thecase among the country bankers, who have more i^ nn common emergencies to provide for.— 7 TUESDAY'S LOnDOn GAZETTE.

Prom Relfes FRIENDSHIPS OFFERING' 1 for l826i. To mark the sufferings of the babe That cannot speak its woe; To see the iniiint tears gush forth, Yet know not why they flow; To meet the meek, uplifted eye, That fain would ask relief, Yet can but tell of agony,— THIS is a mother's grief! Thro' dreary days and darkef bights, To trace the march of death j To hear the faint and frequent sigh, The quick and shortened breath; To watch tbe last dread strife draw near, And pray that struggle brief, Though itll is ended with its close,-- 4 THIS is a mother's grief! To see, in one short hour, decayed The hope of future years i To feel how voy a father s prayers, How vain a mothers tears; To think the cold grave now must close O'er what was, once, the chief Of all the treasured joys of eattb,— THIS is a mother's grief! Yet, when the first wild throb is past of- unguish and despair, To lift the eye of faith to heaven, And think," my child is there;' THIS licst can dry the gushing tears, THIS yields the heart relief; Until the Christian's pious hope O'ercomes a mother's grief1. ThE OglE CAsTlE EAST InDiAmAn. COVENT GARDEN- THEATRe.-- Mr. Serle made his debut at this Theatre on Monday evening, the advertisements an-' nounecd him from the English Theatre at Brussells, erroneously adding, his first appearance in this country, llis attempt was decidedly successful, and presuming that n general notice of his performance may be acceptable to his Old Patrons, the Dover audience, we extract the following from the Times of Tuesday morning. " The choice of such a character as Hamlet, by any actor, for hitf fiist appearance, exposes him to more tlian the common danger of c- mijurisoii with others who liave played the part; it is a cliaracter of almost unpa alleled length ; splendid ra- ther as a irrtnd iKx- tical and philosophical conception than dramatically ele ctive: and, unless a performer have repu- ( a I foil, or show very decided ability in the outset of it, an audience is rot very unapt to leave off giving him attention tx- fore the end. As regarded attention, however, Mr. Serle fully commanded that; and deserved to do so, for his per- formance displayed powers above the common order. He soein- to be a youtig man— probably not more than thirty; his figure of the middle height, and sufficiently well pro- portioned; his countenance is by no means inexpressive or. unplcasing and if be can get over one serious defect that he has— a failure in i he power of his voice— he seems more likely to succeed in the youthful heroes of tragedy, than any gentleman who lia> lateiy presented himself in town. As ;! general jjcrfo'SiVance, for a young man, his TJnmlet was ! more Hum respectable, It was temperate ; tolerably firm cousidembl i< olished and gentlemanly ; and, throughout, although there were points ( premeditated) in it which did not tell so well as bad been expected. it evinced some power of thought, and more than common skilfuluess as to expres- sion. One very commendable circumstance about Mr. Serle is. that all he did was free from imitation. His acting re sembles the tragedy of Elliston. in his younger days, more than that of any other considerable performer; hut not nt all to such a degree as to make it probable that the likeutes is any thing more than accidental. With the exception ol one or two points, where the expression of passion was iieoTKsnry , and where the same defect of voice stood in his way, Mr. serle's was a performance of great skill and jtidg- uu'nt ; extremely intelligent as to reading ; and rather any thing tlian aiming at clap- trap, or vulgar gallery effect. The soliloquies he r-) toke with great distinctness and delibe- ration, and with sufficient confidence to enable him to do jiis- ti « eto his conception; and, in the scene where the King sits at the play, tl. e dialogue with the Grate- digger, and in the whole business with the Ghost, he was warmly and de- servedly applauded. In repeating the character, it may be worth this gentleman's while to preserve a little more steadiness ( of which he can find abundance) in the scene with the players, and iu the previous dialogue with Polo- nius; not that his expression of comedy sc- ems at all olijcal tonable : but in tliat particular scene there was some- thing loo much of lightness— amounting almost to frivolity. With this, if he can command m< re passion, at need, or so manage his voice ( if that he the difficulty) as to dare trust himself with the expression of it, tliere lias not been any tor of late appearing in town, of whose success, as far as may be judged from a single performance, we should argue more favourably. He is very free from any of those gritisiereles which are apt to attach to recruits from tl, e provinces seems to aim far less at catching noisy applause to particular points and situations, than at getting gracefully and cor- rectly through his diameter. Without being fully compe- tent to leading characters in the beginning, there is nothing — if he can but get over his voice— to prevent his fairly looking forward to them ; and, as he stands at present, he seems to liave faculties which will be highly useful to tlie theatre." CoUrT OF KING'S BENCH. THE KING V. MERYON AND OTHERS. MEM CORPORATION OF RYE. Some of the critics have attributed his occasional devia- tion from tlie text to the agitation caused by a firstappcarance: in this we suspect they are mistaken. Mr. Serle is a scholar of co sidcniblc literary reputation, and his closeapplication to the original Shakespeare, may perhaps warrant a deviation from the text of modern editions.

SCARLETT obtained a rule . Vt shew cause why a criminal information should not issue against the defendants for obstructing the Mayor of the borough of Rye In the. execution of his duty. The Attorney General now shewed cause against the rule and after adverting to the constitntion of the borough, which was formed of a Mayor, twelve Jurats, and au inde- finite number of freemen, said that, according to the Charter, freedom was conferred either by birthright or by the Mayor and Jurats. Dr. Lamb, however, assumed to himself a para- mount authority over the Corporation, an authority which his family had exercised for a series of years, and he took care that none should be made freemen but persons w ho had no children, or bachelors who were never likely to marry.—( A laugh.) In this he shewed his sagacity, as he did it for the purpose of rendering the boi'ough~ subject to his controul In the return of Memlcrs to Patfrainent. In fact, the family of Lamb bad completely usurped all the right of the burgesses, and he would ask if persons who had done so were now entitled to come to the Court and apply for a criminal information against men who sought to vin- dicate these rights ? By the constitution of the borough, Courts of Record were to lie held eteiy fifteen days, but in general they were not held, and so great was the" abuse of the public charities that it was found necessary to apply to theionrtof Chancery on the subject, when an order was made for a better application of them. The shipping In- terest at Rve was very considerable; yet the freemen had not a share in more than throe or four Ships oat of to great a number. These were all circumstances which sliewrd th « sprrit of monopoly ami controul which influenced Hie con- duct of Dr. Lamb and his family, with respect to the bo- rough. When Mr. Phillips Lamb's year of office Ktrl ex- pired, he made a display of resigning his power as Mayor, into the hands of the freemen, taking care, at the same time, to get his brother- in- law, Mr. Dodson, appointed to succeed him. This gentleman, however, could not possibly he cm • sidered qualified, for he was not a resident of the borough; and though the Mayor was allowed to have a deputy in any of the Cinque Ports, yet the qualification of residence was nut on that account dispensed with. The freemen becoming justly indignant at this monopoly of influence, proposed Mr. Meryon as Mayor, in opposition to Mr. Dodson, and he elected by two persons named Prosser and Smith, In i junction with some others whose title to vote might, per- haps, be questioned. Bat he ( the Attorney- General) still contended that Mr. Meryon was duly elected ; for, whore person who was ineligible offered himself as candidate L gainst a party who was eligible, the latterniust be returned, even though the former should liave the greater number of votes. But the friends of Mi. Dodson maintained that the Mayor ought to be returned by the Jurats. This however, was not the fact; for by the constitution of the borough, the r ght of the election lay with the freemen, h eon Id ret, for a moment, be pretended that any disturbance or breach of the peace took place, on the occasion of the last election. In the course of a fortnight after, a fifteen- day Court was held, when Dr. lamb brought the whole of his friends with him, in order to secure possession. The friends of Mr. Me- ryon conceived that they were equally entitled to do the same, but still no disturbance took place, The learned Counsel, after reading an affidavit in support of this fact, pro- ceeded to observe, that at the Court held on tbe lUtli or October, Mr. Dodson took measures to get possession iu his official character as Mayor, and that Mr. Meryon made simi- lar efforts, though his party did not break iu the d- ior, but only opened the window—( A laugh.) Mr. Dodson was furnished with the robes of office, and was rather surprised to find that Mr. Merrion had also his robes, so that thus far at least both parties were o: i an equality .—{ A laugh. Every- thing, however, passed off with the greatest possible good humour. Mr. Justice Bay ley— Was there no criminal business done that day? 77te Attorney- General— No, my Lord; Mr. Meryon, the duly elected Mayor, and the jurats, were the only proper persons to hold the Court: and Mr. Dodson, finding his right contested, went to his residence outside the town, called Mounts- field, to hold his Court there. The Learned Gentleman next commented on the charge made against Mr. Meryou, of his having purloined the records of the borough, and said there was an affidavit to prove that the only object he had in taking them away was to make a schedule of them in order to prevent confusion. It was further sworn, that a certain person took away a sack full of papers, to the know- ledge of the party who had the charge of them, aud that they wereafterwards burned and destroyed, many of them being important records belonging to the bor. uigb. It was to prevent a similar recurrence in future that Mr. Meryon removed the documents in question, and he was now ready to give them up, on condition that they would be carefully preserved. These were the facts of the case, and the ques- tion now was whether Mr. Meryon or Mr. Dodson must be considered its Mayor. Mr. Justice llayley— Has Mr. Dodson since taken up his residence in the borough? The Attorney- General— Never my Lord, nor is he in the exercise or his office. He is not Mayor de facto. Mr. Scarlett— He lias been sworn in by the preceding Mayor. The Attorney- General— And Mr. Meryon has been sworn in by tlio constable.—( A laugh.) 1) fr.

Mr. Justice liny let)— asked if the Attorney- General, would allow far, Dodson to act as Mayor till the lUolioil was made for the ma miliums to swtar iu Mr. Merjbn. The Attorney General said he would acquiesce upon con1 dition ol a rule Sis! being granted. Mr. Scarlet* protested against such a course, as tending to Subvert long established rights, even though those right's might not be altogether sanctioned by law. The precedent was most tiaujjevous, fut any other borough might do the Mr- Sergeant Tadill resumed— He was now ready to try the question, and doubted not of the result. When his Learned Friend talked of rights, he begged the quest ion, for he ( Mr. Sergeant Taddy) denied tliat the party on the other side liad any rights, Ckeept such as wete founded on the usurpation of Dri Lamb and bis family. Mi. Scarlett1— I did not speak of the rights oftlie borough: I only spoke as to the right which Mr. Dodson. lias to exer* cise the office of Mayor. .' Ifr.

The Attorney- General said his clients were only anxious to have a rule nfri for a mandamus or quo warranto, which would raise the question of right, unmixed with any ques- tion of violence.. Mr. Scarlett offered to forego the criminal information, ifthc defendants would undertake to give Up possession of the office without delay. The Attorney- General declined acceding to this, as he should not take any thing by it. After some more discussion, T* e Lord tihitfJustice suggested that the rule should be discharged) upon the defendants undertaking not to act or claim to Set ! Vj officers of the Corporation, until they should put the case into a course nflegal inquiry, and immediately , to deliver up possession of the town- hall and records to the r/ e./' tc/ o Mayor, it being also understood that this rule be proceeded fur as by attachment, in case Of non- complbnce villi it This was acceded to, and the rule Nut was discharged.

' The r. ord Chief Justice— The question is whether both parties have not pursued the wrong course. The Attoiney- Gcncrnl— My Lord, I submit with great deference, that'tho question is whether the Court willgrauta criminal information under thest circumstances. The Lord Chief Justice—'. t is necessary, you will observe, that the public peace should not be disturbed. The Attorney- General—' My Lord, the public peace is now- much better preserved than before, and Mr. Meryon lias al- ways beert most anxious to peserve it. Mr. Justice Bayley— The proper course woud have been to move for a mandamus to compel the late Mayor to swear in Mr Meryon. Mr. Sergeant Taddy, who was on the same side with the Attorney- General, was proceeding tooflwr some observations to the Court, when Olf Grimaldi, father of the present Senior, was well known in Flanders and on the Continent, as a dancer, and for rtcpertness in leaping was called iron Legs. He once ' aped so high at Paris tb-. t he broke a chandelier, a piece of hlch hitting Ihe Turkish Ambassador, who was In the stage- box, he considered it as « premeditated affront, and complained to the Prench Court of the outrage. But the most f^ tmordlosry circumstance was his being put in pri- son fir indecency on the French stage. After this hi* popularity decreased, and he rambled with a party of strol- lers Into Flandets. As he added ledgerdemnin and other tricks to his jumping, he was there considered a supernatural being. Grifaaldi win always aeecmpanied by a lady, who was occasionally supposed to be his wife, his sister, or his: daughter. So equivocal was the character of the lady at various places, thit It tm difficult to ascertain the precise dtgrce of relationship. . She was remarkably like him, being a squat, thick, strong figure, arid almost a* great a jumper as himself. At the ftrAe he was obliged to decamp into Flan- ders. he and his tmip were attacked near Brussels by banditti, the burgage waggon was rarwicked, fheii pockets turned Inside out. and the thieves, according to their usual custom, about to dtsp itch Thefr prey. It should be stated that Orhrnldi, wanting money f" r his expedition, enticed off; Fhbaut. a bookseller, to follow his fortunes. Flahant, beluga Latin scholar, took it Into his head it would be a good thinjc to introduce the sncier. t chorus on the stage, by way of explaining Qrimaldi'x dances.

Grimaldi promised to make him a capital dancer, and lie having got together as much money as he could, left Ins family, and accompanied ihe strollers. When the sabres of tlte banditti were drawn to dHpatch the dancers, Grimaldi, who at any ri.- k. would have his joke, whispered I latiatr to ' speak Latin to them; tlte enthusiast began, and for a few seeonds the sabres was suspended ; pr& ently loudiy Vocife- rating dixi, one of them, aiming a blow at his head, cried feci, which Wow, had it taken place, w. mld have silenced the orator for ever. But the lady, Grimaldi's partner, fury of romantic Heroism, just « tbe word dispateh wa- giv'eri, stojjpfd forward, and, in a scream of despair, implored the banditti to have pity on her comrades, offering that, if thev would be mcrdlnl, she would yield herself up a sacri- lice, and devote herself to their pleasure.

NObLE Gift TO THE SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS.— When the late Mr. Crosdil, the celebrated performer on the violpn- cello. was on his death- bed, he desired his son, Captain Crosdil. to present the Royal Society of Musicians with one thousand pounds, as a token of the respect he entertained for tlte Society, and desired to promote the interests of the profession. Mr. Crosdil was one of the most wlehiated performers of the day, and ranked as high in the profession as Mr Linley. the violin performer. Mr. Crosdil was first violoncello at the King's theatre; his Majesty also ap- pointed him his principal violin performer, and his pre- sence was required at his Majesty's Concerts. Mr. Crosdil married a lady wiih a splendid fortune, and by her request, he declined all professional engagements, excepting the ap- pointment of violin performer to the King.

I UNioN- HALL.— Yesterday a Kentish man, named White- head,, was introduced to the notice of tlie magisitrates by a young man, who stated, that he observed him tliat morning standing at the corner of Kent- street, in the Borough, and with loud lamentations, bewailing the loss of 4/., which he had been cheated of by two fellows known by the name of " Duffers," both of whom were described as having com- mitted Innumerable frauds, pretty similar to tlie one prac- tised with success upon tlie present occasion. The dupe " this case was just such a man as vagabonds of the above des- cription usually look out for. He had just arrived in town, as his appearance at once denoted, and was dressed in a clean white frock, ornamented with flowers on tlie plaits in front, and underneath a scarlet waistcoat, with nankin trowsers. On advancing to the table at which the magistrates sitting, the poor countryman pulled up his frock for the pur- pose of exhibiting the article by which he had been bam- boozled out of his money by the two fellows; and while rummaging for it in his nankin pockets, with the tears trick- ling down his cheeks, he could contain his grief no longer, and blubbered aloud; he applied his smock- frock to his eyes, and after having dried up his tears, displayed one of those watches that are manufactured in Birmingham, and not trinsically worth more than five shillings. His story of the transaction was as follows, as well as Ojuld be collected from the delivery, which was occasionally interrupted by loud sobs, deploring tlie loss of his money:— He stated that he ar- rived in town on Saturday evening, which he visited for the purpose of receiving 40/. tliat was due to his father by a istonier. Having received the money yesterday morning, and while on his way to meet the stage- coach, at the Ele- phant and Castle, a nice looking man, he said, dressed in long clothes, tapped him on the shoulder, whispered some- thing in his ear, aud beckoned him to follow- him into a nar- t. On arriving there, the man accosted him pro- dueed the watch that he now- held in his hand, saying it was 4 very valuable one. but in consequence of his embarrass- ments, he was under the disagreeable necessity of parting with it, in order to raise a little money, and that he had been with a broker or salesman for that purpose, but added he " th& se fellows are such cheats, that 1 really don't wish to have any dealings with them, and if you ( meaning the coun* tryman) will let ine have 51. yoh shall have it.'' While poor John was examining the watch, up comes another man, whom Whitehead thought was a stranger. This person saluted his ear with a loud whisper to this effect. ' Give the money he asks, you fool. it's a dead bargain, and 1 . will give you a pound more than the man asks, after you buve bought it." The countryman said tlte person wlto . couraged him'to strike the liargairi tlM> n put a sovereign tohis hand, and he added f > ur of his own to ' it, m iking up the five Sovereigns, whjeh- he Itauded to the'. first man, who immediately gave him the watch and ran off. Whitehead turned rourrd to. £ ivc lip the article he had just paid for to SvhO was the chief cause of his making the purchase, by promising liitii 6/. for his bargain, but he had also taken to his heels, and was out of sight ill a moment. Whitehead - ery sjwo afterwardsidiscovered tlie imposture but being stinger in London, he was at a nonplus how to make his loss known, or in what way to obtain redress, until overcome by his feelings he roared out at the cOrner of a street, Many persons, he said. collected round him, some of thein laughed at his misfortune, whilst other pitied him ; when one qf the latter assisted him out of the crowd, and conducted him to the office. Mr, Chambers haying patiently listened to his tale, asked him where the remainder of the money was that he received for his father V The couutryman pulled out a canvass saying, that 36 sovereigns still remained in it. The Magistrate.— It is well ton have not been robbed of the whole J leave town, immediately, and give your father tbe money. Whitehead seemed desperately alarmed at the idea of re- turning to his home, saying, tliat he should be served out by his father, besides being jeered by the whole village. An officer was, however, directed to see him off on the coach, after he had given a full description of the two fellows by whom be had been choused out of his money. The watch lies at the office as an evidence against them. The Demerara papers state that a Philosophical Society is about to be established in that colony. The suggestion tor Its formation appears to hare come from Sir H. Davy : se- veral specimens of the natural productions of the climate ( plants, kc.) have been sent to England. The naturalist is likely to reap a rich harvest in that luxurious settlement. At the Slate- quarries of Cloneybrien, county Tipperary, now working by the Mining Company of Ireland, a human skeleton was found last week under an immense heap of stones. There has been for years a story told by the coun- try people, that a King of Leinster was murdered at tlat spot, arid, as it is usual in such cases, a heap of stones created by each passenger throwing one as he went by- removal of them a large flag was discovered/ which induced .... workmen to make a search, When a liimiaii skeleton of an extraordinary size was discovered underneath, added by some, and believed by many, that various cosily emblems of royalty were also found under the tomb. Miss Hayward, . who obtained a verdict against Mr. Pitt, at the last Worcester assizes, of one thousand pounds for a breach of promise of marriage, to be enforced if the defend- ant did his make good his promise or marrying her, states in her affidavit, that the defendant called upon her, accom- panied by a recruiting sergeant, and informed her that he had enlisted, and was. ab. iut to go abroad ; that lie nevertheless willing to marry her, but that ii was hi teniion to set off for the East Indies the next day, and take his property with him if he could, aiid sq disappoint the plaintiff and the lawyers too.

Times, THE KING Of BAVAria.— The present King of Bavaria, when only Prince Royal, was struck with the state of dis- order in which the goodness and weakness of the late mon- arch had involved the country. He frequently talked to artisans and manufacturers, and found all in distress. The rispect he bore to his father alone prevented him from say- ing something during his life. Sometime ago he announced his intention of transferring to some of the provinces, the manufactures which are heaped up at Munich. The Muni- cipal Corps on this made some representation to him: but his reply was," Gentlemen, I am not only King of Munich— 1 am the King and the lather of all the Bavarians." I several public functionaries collected from diffe rent parts of Ihe Kingdom, he said, •' I have uot sent for you to give yon lion' rs and rewards, but you must help me to lighten the load of taxes which press on my people. We sliall be suffi- ciently rewarded if we succeed, and you will- return ha pay in thepuhlic gratitude, and in the confidence of your sove- reign." His Majesty's health is delicate, and the dumre ef Mmiicli does not agree with him ; sonicltody, inconsequence-, requested him not to work so lard. " I owe my whole time ( he replied, to my people, and 1 shall be toohappj. if sliortenirig my days, I lighten their sufferiugs. The- loss op a King is repaired on the next day, but many years cannot repaid the losses caused by a bad administration." He is sincerely piw s. lias a great love of order and justice, and a strong wish to make his people happy. He has a strong and firm mind, aud is scrupulously exact in fulfilling his pro- mise— Courier Francois. NEW CURRENCy,— The assimilation of the imperial cur- rency, in common with every measUre, tending to facilitate the intercourse and perfect the union of the two countries, will, unquestionably, be productiveof great and permanent advantages. Pending the transition, however, and until the public are familiarized with the new system, much practi- cal inconvenience will, no doubt, be experienced, especially among the humbler classes, who eah scarcely be expected tu comprehend at once the true nature of so important a change. The removal of erroneous impressions, and tfiffrt- sioii ofjost notions hpbn the'snhject,' is therefore at the present moment peculiarly desirable, with a view to lessen the difficulties which must at all events be encountered. Among other points, it ought to lie generally known, that the period for demanding payment, or for exchanging the old notes which may be in circulation after the 5th of Jan- uary, is unlimited; so that- no lapse of time, or delay in pre- senting them, canr in the slightest degree, invalidate tlie claim of the holder, or affect the real valuepfthe note, which indefinite period will continue appb'cablc to all its • present purposes. A right understanding upon this point may be the mcaus of preventing, at tlte approaching junc- ture. a Minoltane oi » pressure uj> on the Bank, altogether un- necessary, and alike iftcouyenient to that establishment and to the public. In many cases, indeed, a resertntioa of old notes, for the purpose of discharging engagements contracted l^ fore the 5th of January; may be found extremely useful in superseding the necessity of perplexiug calculations, and in obviating tlie embarrassments incidental to transactions with uninformed or prejudiced individuals.— Dublin iUer- cantile Adrertiser. Late KING OF THE SAndWICH ISLANdS,— Captain F. Arthur of the American ship Swift his return from the coast of japan, touched at Atooi, one of the the Sandwich Islands, about the 20th bf June last, and left there on the 26th; a short time prior to which former date, the British frigate commanded by Lord Byron, despatched for the pur- pose of conveying from England the remains of Rhio Rhio, had arrived at Oahu. The corpse was landed at that island, and immediately deposited in the house of Billy Pitt, prime minister, which house was thereupon strictly " tahu'd." After having duly lain in state, the funeral was solemnized in the European style— a long procession was formed, con- sisting of Europeans, Americans, and natives, who attended the body to the place of sepulture. For the first trnie, the natives were prohibited, by their chiefs, from exhibiting the customary evidences of grief on such occasions. Of this regulation . the natives complained sadly— saying, that if they were not to be permitted to " cry," or utter audible lamentations their late king might as well have been buried in England. Many European customs had also b « en in- troduced, through the influence of Lord Byron, and tl^ ise chiefs who had visited England. Among the new laws was one allowing to every native the privilege of procuring i market for the produce of his own labour, without first bring compelled, as formerly, to bring his commodities to ie chiefs. The utmost tranquillity prevailed at the lands. George Tamorce, the late disturber, was going at large, perfectly harmless ; though the chiefs cherish a de- termination to destroy him, as soon as the protection of Billy Pitt shall be withdrawn. The young Prince Regent is very much beloved.— American paper. Tlte modern Greek wrestlers wear tight leather breeches well soaked in oil; in other respects their bodies are stark naked, except being anointed with oil, and rubbed over with dust. To gain the victory, it is necessary not only that one of the combants should throw the other, but that, having done so, he should he able to keep his adversary down until he himself has regained liis feet; for, in the struggle, they always fall together. In every part of Greece there i, s something naturally ap- propriate to the genius aud history of the place; as in the bubbling fountains- and groves of Epidauria, sacred to Escu- lapius; the pastoral scenes of Arcadia. dedicated to the Muses and to Pan; t| ie hollow rocks of Phocis, eclwing to Pythian oracles; aud ( irltips the custom of making ajl offerings to the Gods tip - n the summits ol Olympus and Parnassus, did not so much originate in any Eastern p| ac- tice. as in the peculiar facility wheri>\ viththeeye omim^ iifk- d from tboseeminences almost every seat pf sanctity in Greece.

Sir,--^ Through the medium of your paper I Wtiiild beg leave to propose a very simple mode of saving livsatseh io cases of shipwreck, it was suggested by reading an account iu the newspaper of . the melancholy loss of the Ogle Castle East indiaman. From all the accounts published, it woilld ap. iear that the Deal boats approached the vessel as near as 100 yaid.-<, but owing to the dreadful snrgc- i it was imprac- ticable to go neareri Now, in cases of this kind, might It not lie advisable to provide each boat with twelve or twe . ty small liar i els ( or what would do better, pieces of cork, con- structed so as to form a box, or any other shape that might In; c meeived to be more convenient), with ropes attached to them ; the boat, in addition to the full complement of men, o ght to be maimed with It) or 12 more, to use three lilt; p i- sptvers. It should go to windward, and the life pre- server should be launched, so as to drilteit' er by the tide or wind to the vessel in distress, one end of the rope being properly tied to them, while the other is attached to the b at. By sig. ials the people on board may be made to un- derstand that their life depends upon their being able to seize hold of one of these casks, and when it is observed from the boat that au individual has clung to one of them, the rope connected with it should be immediately, though slowly, hauled io. This may be considered to be a mete modification of Captain Manby's apparatus, but as no mtn- t ion is made of such an apparatus being used, 1 have taken the present opportunity to suggest the plan. It can be tried ; if it succeed ( and I see no reason why it should not), it may lie the means of saving many valuable lives. It c m be employed where it is impossible to use Captain Manby's apparatus; and besides, no nicety is required in the manage- ment of it. It would be advisable that the life- preservers were painted, perhaps white or red, or one half white and the other red, as from the surge they could not be easily distinguished were they all white; they should also present as much surface as possible, so flat they maybe readily re* cognizcd. Boats provided with them should have an ensign hoisted, with which the captains of all ships should be made acquainted. A. CONDELL. 15, London- wall, Nov. 20.
