His POM A DE ItEGENER ATRICE, for the Growth and Preservation of Ihe Hair; to which J. DEI.

Iiis POUDRF, SUBTIL, for removing superfluous Hair. This Imperfection J. DELCROIX has obviated, by offering to Ihe Ladies this invaluable Remedy, which will effect this Object in eight Minutes, without Ihe least Inconvenience or Pain, and leaving that Part of the Skin extremely soft and smooth.

As there is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE, a Person has the Pretension to say that be is the only Proprietor of the genuine Article, when in Fact lie is perhaps the only one that has not the genuine Bear's Grease ; but if the Purchasers will give themselves the Trouble of smelling it with Attention, they will easily discover the Deception, his Composition being a Mix- ture of Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, and Mutton Suet, perfumed with a . little Bergamot ; which, from having analyzed it, J. DELCROIX can assert to he a Fact. Such Composition, in Lieu of being bonefirial to the Preservation or Growth of the Hair, has a decidedly contrary effect; Oil of Almonds, in particular, being of a very desicative Nature, and uot of a nutritive one ; whereas GENUINE Bear's Grease certainly may be re- garded as one of the best Articles for promoting the Growth of the Hair. Therefore, to prevent fhe Public from falling into Error by using such Imitations, which are so insulting'to the common Understanding, and in Order to detect the spurious from the genuine Bear's Grease^ J. DELCROIX begs to give a brief Description of it : — The Fat of the Animal, when he receives it in Casks from Russia, is rather offensive, and of a Yellow Reddish Hue, but when purified, it resembles very much the Mixture of Veal Fat and Beef Marrow, with less of Tinge, and although it is of moderate Consistence, yet it is of an oily and rich Nature.

AM © COUMIEIK OP WAILES. > LOIS' DON— S AT U R DAY. ROMK— The efforts whieh the Pope is at present friakimv to re- establish the Feudal System in fii* immediate territories, makes it more certain that it is. the great object of the Romish Priesthood to re- produce all th£ superstitions of the dark jajjes— in short, to force' back the human mind upon a state of barbarism favourable for religious imposture, and create a counter- reformat ion. The task of revers- ing the civil bat ion of successive aires, would be too absurd for any power short of infallibility to specu- late upon— hut how far tbe decrees ofthe Pope and the: miracles of the '.' Church may carry it, we cannot tell. The French Papers last arrived inform us, that a Bull has been published in Rome, which re- constitutes as a perpetual feif the. great estate of Couca, in favour ofthe most Holy Congregation of the Inquisition. The same privileges have been also granted to the Chapter of St. Peter in Vatic an o, by investing it with the equally great estate known by the name of Crimpy Morto - with exclusive civil and criminal jurisdiction. To this j urisdiction is. at- tached the, right of asylum, and all criminals who fly thither from the hands of justice are protected. What can we think of: the Head of the Romish Church, Who in the •• nine- teeth ' Century casts his eye back to the institutions of the fifteenth, to take ex- amples of legislation ? These franchises of civil and criminal jurisdiction, conferred upon ecclesiastical bodies iu former times, tended more to barbarise society and to impede the civilising influence of Christianity, than any other inventions of an am- bitious Church. The two clerical tribunals which the Pope has just now restored and enriched, have privilege of sanctuary, as well as the earlier authorities of this sort— and what the effect will be on a population so demoralised a « that of Home already is, may be fnore easily imagined than described. A ruffian who robs a man of his property, aud afterwards cuts his throat in the street, has only to run into one of these holy asylums, and the hair of his head dare not be touched !— Let us suppose the Jesuit emissaries of Rome to obtain the establishment of similar institu- tions in the' other cities of Italy, and in Paris', Vienna, and other Roman Catholic cities and towns, ft would be necessary for a man who had decent clothes on h'rs back, or who carried any property, or • who happened to be a heretic, to walk w ith a loaded pistol or a drawn sword in his hand, iu open day, becaose tlie infallible Church thought fit- to open sanctified dens for gatigs of ruffians, whence they might darf out, like' wild- beasts, upon tbe passers- y for deeds of rapine and blood ! We are told fhat the populace of Rome received the Papal order re- stoi ing these sanctuaries with the most lively joy— and no wonder. They repaid this benevolent pro- vision for their future crimes with anticipated gratitude. How deplorably circumstanced are the thieves and ruffians who infest London, compared with those of the immaculate Home ! In Loudon there is a Recorder, and an Old Bailey, and some- thing litee the terrors'of a future life to haunt their guilty minds— but in Rome the same class of man- kind have impunity for crime as a vested right, and Heaven in reversion !— By all means, therefor.', concede power to the Romish Church !

Important News from Lisbon. We have the gratification this day of communica- ting the most satisfactory intelligence with re- spect to the affairs of Portugal. The Sir Edward Banks steam- vessel, arrived at Portsmouth last night, at eleven o'clock, and brought passenger Mr. Black, with despatches for Government. She left Lisbon ou the 26th, in the evening, and made her voyage home in six days Private, letters speak with the highest enthusiasm and praise, of the prompt and decisive measures adopted by Government. Mr. Canning's speech had been printed and circulated, aud the effect it produced upon the public mind was amazing. It seemed to operate like a charm, dispelling at once all the gloom and fears that prevailed, and animat- ing every elass of persons with renewed hope and vigour. His Majesty's Message had been officially com- municated to the Portuguese Cortes, by whom it was received with every demonstration of gratitude and enthusiasm. The extraordinary rapidity with which the suc- cour of England had reached the shores of Portugal excited general admiration. While they were only hoping to hear of promised aid, British ships and British troops had anchored in the waters of the Taaus. The'effect was electrical. The Pyramus was the only vessel, we believe, which, at the date of these advices, had landed troops; but four line of battle ships, with other detachments, were seen off the Burlings by the Sir Edward Banks as she left the Tagus. The condition of the rebels must soon, we should think, bring matters to a close. All the latest ac- counts represent them as being discomfited, wher- ever they have come in contact with the Constitu- tional' troop's. The Marquis de Chaves was at Lam ego with 10,000 troops— ill equipped — and dispirited. In the province of Alentejo, the Count de Villa Flor had repulsed the insurgents, under the command of Magessi. When the 4th ( King's Own) Regiment of Foot landed* they were received by the populace with the loudest acclamations. The Funds have improved materially this morning, in consequence of the arrival of the Sir Edward Banks steam- vessel, at Portsmouth, from Lisbon, which she left on the evening of the 26th. The accounts that were brought by her are ex- tremely favourable. A part of our troops had already landed, and two men of war were entering the harbour at the time the Sir Edward Banks was leaving the Tagus. The Lisbon Mail, of the 15th, has also arrived, but the letters, which will now not be considered of importance, are not yet de- livered. The first price of Consols was 80 ; the nearest quotation is, at present, 81. Exchequer Bills are 19 20 pm. The Foreign Securities are also much beltci\ DUBLIN, DEC. 24.—' Ihe utmost confusion and alarm prevail at this moment ( twelve o'clock) in Dame- street, which is one of the leading commercial streets in this city. A fire was discovered in the extensive storeR of Sir Abraham Bradley King. Sir Abraham is stationer to his Majesty, aud supplies all the offices, & c. with stationery; the stores were full of this articlc;, closely packed up iu piles. The flames spread with the utmost rapidity; in a few minutes the whole of the stores were io a blaze, aud all hopes of preserving the property were out of the question. The lire in a very short time commaui cated to the dwelling house in Dame- street, and spread with alarming impetuosity. Sir Abraham Bradley King's family do not reside in this hunac, and there were no inmates save a gentleman aud au elderly servant woman ; but a number of individuals, On percciving the fire, burst into the boose, aid in tin most disinterested manner exerted themselves to pre- serve the premises. It is melancholy to state what followed. The fire, notwithstanding al! the exertions that'were made, increased, and at eight o'clock the roof foil in with a tremendous Crash, bearing down all the floors of the house, which fell with accumulated weight upon the unfortunate individuals inside. These persons were instantly buried under the ruins; the number is not known; but several persons have already been taken out ; . one or t wo of them, it is said, are de. vd, and others mangled in a serious manner. For some time all cffoits to aires! the progress of the flames ceased, so gieat and overpowering was fhe effect upon Ihe feelings of all present. The flames in the mean time spread far and wide, and seemed to threaten the whole neighbouiho6d with destruction. There was little or no supply of water, so that the engines for some time were of trifling effect. Raj: pily, however, by the most extraordinary efforts, the fire was arrested in its progress, and little other injury to property was done save what was on the premises of Sir Abraham Bradley King. The property on the premises was very considerable, mid little or nothing- was saved. Not only an immense stock of paper, but money, expensive furniture, aiid an entire and valua- ble service of plate, were totally lost.

CORK ELECTION.— Oil the close of the Poll on Thursday, Mr. IJutchiiiso,, V majority was diminished to 66. The Freeholders- Booths were all closed ; and the Freemen who remain to be polled, being- supposed to be chiefly in Ihe interest of Mr. Callag- han, the friends of the latter gentleman were san- guine of his ultimate success Died, 011 Sunday, at his house in James'- strect, Buckingham- gate, in the seventy- first year of hi.- aye, William Gifi'ord, Esq. author of the Baviad and Mixtviad, translator of Juvenal aud Persius, and Editor of the Quarterly Review, from its commence- ment down to the beginning of the year just past. He was born at Ashburton, in Devonshire, in April, 1*. 56. the Duke of Rutland's house was closed, and the answer at that hour given to inquirers, was, " that his Royal Highness was no better, but. was gradually getting- weaker." The Duke of York received a visit yesterday from his Royal Sister, the Princess Sophia. Amongst the distinguished personages who' called, were Earl Bathurst, Viscount Melville, Mr. Secretary Canning, Viscount Strang lord, the Duke of Somerset, the Duke of Argyle, the Solicitor- General, & c. The Princess Augusta has been prevented from visiting the Royal Duke within the last few days, owing to the fall which her Royal Highness had in her gar- den at Frog- more. Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, Sir Astley Cooper, Sir Henry Halford, Dr. Macmichael, Dr. M'Gregor, and Mr.. Simpson, were in attendance af liutland- house. Tliey remained in consultation about an hour, when Sir Henry Halford and Dr. Mactnichael left. Sir Astley Cooper remained some time after. Sir Henry Halford returned again in about an hour, but remained but a short time. Sir Astley Cooper was again in attendance at four O'clock. A messenger was sent to the Kiug, after the consultation of the Medical Gentlemen, with the report of the state of the Royal Duke. Their genera! report to the enquirers was, " His Royal Highness has passed another restless night, and is 116 better." In the latter pert of the last week, the Princesses Feodore and Victoria called lo inquire after the health of his Royal Highness. The Royal Duke experienced some alleviations of his Sufferings yes- terday, and 011 Saturday^ by some refreshing steep at different intervals. The personal appearance of liis Royal Highness has, as must be expected, undergone a great change for the worse, he being amazingly reduced. We received information last night, that his Royal Highness1 s Physicians,- at a consultation yesterday, were of opinion that all rational hopes of the reco- very of their Patient were at an end; and an ex press was sent off in the afternoon, by Sir Astley Cooper, to the King, at Windsor, to inform his Majesty ofthe melancholy tidings. ( From the Morning Herald. J The decidedly serious attack on the Duke of York's health was water on the chest, which, con- tinuing, atfeeted the arteries, and produced dropsy throughout the system. Its subsequent progress, if it could be accurately described, it is not necessary minutely to detail now, suffice it to say, after many changes, ( all of them for the worse, and some con- siderable pain occasionally), a decided and fatal alteration took place iu the Duke's health a week ago— namely, 011 Sunday preceding Christmas Day. There was then an affusion in the head, a result that is fatal to the patient within a limited period. His Royal Highness shrunk to skin and bone. As may be imagined by those who remember his fine and portly person, it would have been difficult to believe in the identity of the individual, except from having constantly witnessed the decay, or from the representations of others. Tha head dropped for- ward, aud sometimes his Royal Highness could not be arousod to observe those who were about him. The Royal Duke was in this situation, stationed in a large chair in his usual position, when the King visited his Royal Brother, and when that agitation 011 the part of his Majesty occurred, the fact of which has already been mentioned in a previous publication, but without adequately describing the cause of the King'ssndden and excessive grief. The Duke of York, as already intimated, is completely worn away — his frame quite attenuated— and such great change, together with the Duke's head leaning forward, tlie chin on the breast, and the Duke ap- parent'y in a state of expiring insensibility, had the most remarkable and sudden effect on his Ma- jesty, so as to induce fhe King involuntarily to rush out of the room. The first impression 011 his Ma- jesty was, the extraordinary similarity between the Duke's general appearance and manner, and the looks of his revered father at the moment of dying ; aud, besides the likeness between the late King aud the Duke, his Majesty was also fully impressed with Reconviction that his Royal Brother was then dying, or dead ! Hence the sudden quitting of the Duke's aparftaent. It was some time before the King could return to the room, although persuaded that the Duke existed— the impression of the simi- larity between the Duke's general appearance and the late King in his last moments, remaining so strongly fixed 011 his Majesty's mind. The Duke was, on this day, unable to answer any remarks made by his Majesty. Shortly after the I', iag's departure, the Princess Sophia, who has ever been so unremitting in her attentions to the Duke of York, visited her Royal brother; and after she had been in the room a short time, the Duke reminded her that " his Majesty had been," and the Duke added, " his Majesty thinks me worse," showing the Duke was conscious, in some degree, of what had passed, without having been able to speak to, or answer the King's Conversation. On Thursday, when the King again visited the Duke, his Majesty took with hint some particular soup, of which he recollected the Dolce to have formerly tasted with pleasure; tlie King, in his anxiety, personally handed some of it to his Royal brother, who ap- peared to be sensible of the attention, and slightly tasted of the Once favourite soup. During Friday night and Saturday morning, the Duke experienced a good deal of pain; and at five o'clock, Mr. M'Gregor, the medical practitioner, who has long attended ou his Royal Highness, and who, for some time, has often slept or staid very late at the Duke of Rutland's mansion, was called. The Duke is mentioned to have observed to this gentleman— " M'Gregor, wheu is this pain to have an end:" D1F. D. On the 2d of August, at Barraekpore, East Indies, in Iiis24fh year, the lion.

THE DUKE OF YORK. We extremely regret to say, that the flattering hopes which were entertained a few weeks gince by the Faculty attending, his Roval Highness the Duke of York, of the Royal Duke s permanent recovery, have, within these few days, been destroyed. A fortnight ago, Sir Astley Cooper, and other of the medical attendants, admitted lhat they had no hopes of his Royal Bighness's. recovery, unless they eould keep solid food upon his stomach, which it had rejected for some days, and restore its digestive powers. All their efforts to accomplish these objects failed; and such was the bodily anguish ofthe Duke that he never reposed except under the in- iufuice of powerful narcotics.— The quantity of aliment taken by his Royal Highness has been so ^ considerable, that he, day by clay, has gradually declined in strength, aud on Friday last so very much reduced was he in size, and so altered in his appearance, that persons who had previously known him would have scarcely recognized his Royal Highness, and, in fact, his Majesty, on Friday, was so shocked at the appearance of his Royal Brother, that he . was obliged to be supported from the apartment.;— The Royal Duke enjoyed some re freshing sleep on Thursday for eight hours, but we are sorry to say that Friday and Saturday were sleepless nights with the Royal Patient, and, of course, the Royal Duke's health, generally* was much worse. rI he Dukes of Clarence and Sussex, and the Princess Sophia, during- their visit on Saturday were extrernly affected, on beholding the lamentable change which had taken place. The King, on parting with his afflicted Brother on Friday evening was evidently greatly distressed. Sir Herbert Taylor, Military Secretary to his Royal Highness, has slept in Rutland House since last Tuesday. Mr M'Gregor, and Mr. Simpson, the Surgeons, have also slept in the. house during the past week The dangerous state of the Royal Duke within these few days, has excited the greatest sympathy among all ranks, so much so, that on Friday, Satur- day, yesterday, and yesterday evening, Arlington- street vvas thronged with persons who expressed the most anxious solicitude to know the state of the Royal Duke's health. The knocker of the Lodge gate was checked yesterday. An official written notice was given at the Lodge to prevent the admission of any person to the house except the Royal Family, and official Gentlemen. At twelve o'clock last night, the gate leading to [ From our Private Correspondeuf.~\ Our Messenger has just arrived from Arlington- street with the account of the Duke of York's health, and from his enquiries we learn that the Noble Duke's Physicians report is as follows: — " That His Royal Highness passed a quiet night last night, and a change has taken place for the better this day." The Dukes of Clarence and Sussex have been in the course of the afternoon to visit their Royal Brother, as also Her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia; all of whom remained with the Duke of York a considerable time. Messengers were also « * ent by the Duchess of Kent,, the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, and others of the Royal Family, to enquire after the health of their af35cted relative. An express has been sent to the King at Windsor with an account of the Royal Duke's health. Several persons of distinction called to enquire after the Royal Duke's health yesterday and to- day; among whom were the Marquis & Marchioness of Cholrncndeley, Lady Mormngton, Earl and Countess of Tankerville, Dowager Countess Stan- hope, Earl and Countess Charieville, Mr. Justice Gaselee, Viscount Sidmouth, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Bishop of Exeter, and several other persons of distinction. Since it has been known that the Duke was in a dangerous state, such is the anxiety and interest excited, that enquiries are made by all ranks aud classes from six o'clock in the morning till two o'clock the following morning.

D 1 0 0 The Second Annual Meeting of the Shropshire and Shrewsbury Ladies' Association, Auxiliary to the Sunday School Society for teaching the uneducated Poor of Ireland, took place on Friday last, the 29th December, at the House of R. Phayre, Esq. Clare- rrionl, in fhi § town. The Meeting ( at which the Patroness presided)^ was attended by many Ladies of rank and distinction, even from remote parts of tbe county, and it maybe confidently hoped, that through iheir wide- spread influence the funds of this excellent and truly useful Sociely will ere long be much aug- mented. On Saturday last, a party of gentlemen were amusing themselves with rabbit shooting, at Lut- wyche, the seat of Ralph Benson, Esq. M. P.; when, unfortunately, the contents of one of their guns struck a stone, and, glancing therefrom in a lateral direction, lodged in the face of Mr. Colquitt ( Son of the late Colonel Colquitt, who fell in the Peninsular War)'.-— Medical assistance was imme- diately procured ; and although some of the shots penetrated each eye, we are happy to state, that it is the opinion of his medical attendants, he is doing as well as,- under such melancholy circum- stances, could possibly be expected. Last week, Joseph Pryce, Esq. of Dorrington, gave his annual donation of upwards of eight hun- dred weight of prime beef to the poor persons in that place and its vicinity. The Annual Collection for clothing poor children of four schools in the parish of Prees, took place after a Sermon recently preached by the Vicar of that Parish, and amounted to £ 17 and upwards. The American President's Message, delivered to the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States on the 5th December, reached Liver- pool on Sunday last. The President regrets that the relations of commercial intercourse with the colonial possessions of Great Britain have, been interrupted, and expresses a hope that negociations for putting them ou a different footing will be at- tended with success. The severe shock sustained by the commercial interests in Great Britain has recoiled severely upon the United States; and the President says*—'" The net revenue ofthe present year will not equal that of the last, and the receipts of that which is to come will fall short of those in the current year."— With all the European and Ameiican Governments the relations of friendly intercourse have not materially varied since the last Session of Congress. MILITARY PROMOTION.— To be Captain of Infantry, by purchase, Lieut. John Edmund Wylde Brow tie, from the 6 th Dragoon Guards.— Dated 26th December, 1826. CALCUTTA, MAY 7.-^ IIaviug terminated the War favourably to our Western frontier ( 900 miles hence), Lord Combermere broke up his army on the 20th of February, and arrived here early in April, and was proceeding to settle matters in Ava, when the welcome news of the Burmese having made peace with us, ( as soon as they heard of his Lordship's success in the West,) arrived1, and he is now with- drawing his army that has been employed in Ava. Our noble Commander's friends will rejoice at his good fortune in having ( in less than six months after his arrival in this Country) restored peace to every part of India, and placed our possessions in the East in a state of greater and more permanent security> than they have yet been considered. In accomplish- ing this the gallant and noble Commander has greatly added to the fame he has before acquired as a soldier. You good folks in England, may not understand, or trouble your heads much about India affairs, yet this I can assure jTou, that our noble and gallant Commander's success at Bhurtpore has been the saving of our possessions here. All the independent powers on the; Western frontiers were preparing to unite against us ( and Bhurtporc was the rallying point), but fortunately he was able to strike the blow by taking that ( hitherto supposed impregnable) fortress, and ail other powers suc- cumbed. Peace with the Burmese immediately followed ; none of the natives ( not even in our own territory) thought he would be able to take Bhurt- pore ; at present, they all say, " India is now conquered." Lord Lake, in 1805, attacked Bhurt- pore, after having carried every thing before him, but there he failed, after a three months' siege, ancl the loss of 120 officers and 4 or 5000 men! And our noble and gallant General took the place in six weeks with the loss of 5 or £ 00 men only. Committed to our County Gaol, John Stokes, charged on the oath of John Law and others, with being armed with a gun with intent illegally to destroy, take, and kill game, in a wood belonging to the Earl of Kilmorey, in the parish of Ightfield, in company with divers other persons at present unknown, who were also armed with guns, fire arms, and bludgeons, and with threatening to shoot and kill the said John Law.— William Davies ( aged 13), charged with stealing some silver out of the post- office at Ludlow, on the 25th ult. about eight, o'clock in the evening, having obtained entrance by means of a false key.— William Cock and James Cock, charged with stealing a quantity of iron and steel, the property of the Coalbrookdale Company. A statement. has been published by the Committee for the Relief of the distressed Manufacturers, of the manner in which the sums already raised have been distributed. The total amount thus dispensed reaches nearly to one hundred and twenty thousand pounds ; and of this sum u p wards of sixty- two thousand pounds have been appropriated 1o districts and parishes within the county of Lancaster; and upwards of thirty thousand to. Yorkshire. To Scotland £ 7400 has been appropriated ; and the eouniies of England next in amount as recipients stand thus— Cheshire £ 7475; Wiltshire £ 2420 ; Gloucestershire £ 1800 ; Somerset- shire £ 1540; Nottinghamshire £ 1500; Leicestershire £ 1375; Middlesex £ 800; Norfolk £ 600; Stafford, shire £ 400. The sums remitted to those of the re- maining counties to which relief has been extended do not exceed one hundred pounds each, as Cumberland, Northamptonshire, Derbyshire, & c. Edward Clegg and George Taylor were last week committed by the magistrates lo Warwick House of Correction for three months each, for selling un- stamped almanacks, commonly called " Paddy's Watch:' The Shropsh ire Fox Hounds will meet Wednesday, Jan. 3d ( this day), Wolf's Head Turnpike Thursday, Jan. 4th Sundorne Castle Friday, Jan'. 5th Condover Hall Each Day at Eleven o'Clock.

CORONERSHIP— COUNTY OF YORK— A similar contest lo that which h is so lately agitated the city and county of Worcester, lately threatened the exten sive and populous county of Y « » rk. The bustle and expense of the struggle was however got rid of, and in the following manner The expected contest for the vacant office of cos oner for this county has been averted on the principle suggested by our ' correspondent of last week. Ever since Saturday negotiations have been going on to effect that object. Both parties were, however, extremely well provided with the sinews of w ar. A uumlfFr of gentlemen, in Halifax, had, it appears, entered into a subscription to support Mr. Norripj and the sum of £ 10,000 was actually sub- scribed Jfor that purpose. This subscription was met by a subscription of £ 10,000 in favour of Mr. Stocks, consisting of two checks of £ 5000 each from members of his own family. The sum of £ 2000 was offered to Mr. Stocks by the friends of Mr. Nmris to induce him to retire. This offer himself and his friei.^ s positively declined— alleging that no sum of money would in duee him to sell the office, and that he could not. even negociate but upon terms of perfect equality. Upon this principle the friends; of Mr. Stocks proposed to decide the election by lot, on the condition that the successful party should pay £ 1000 to the retiring candidate to reimburse his expenses, which, on each side, would probably amount to about £ 700. This proposal Mr. Norfis was advised by bis friends . to ac- cept, and on Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock the two names were placed in a bag, it being agreed that the person whose name was first drawn should fill the office of coroner. The lot having fallen upon MV. Stocks, Mr. Norris retired, and a check was im mediately given by the former gentleman to the latter for the £ 1000. Expresses were in the course of the evening dispatched to various parts of the county, intimating that it would not be necessary for the freeholders to attend in any great numbers, and the election became a much more easy and - harmonious ceremony than was at one time anticipated. Ou Wed- nesday morning, at eleven o'clock, being the hour appointed, the election took place in the Crown Court of the Castle at York, in the presence of a full attend- ance of freeholders, and Mr. Stocks being the only- candidate for the office, that gentleman was declared duly elected — York Paper. NEW LONDON BRIDGE.— On Thursday last, the first stone on the city side of this bridge was laid in the cofferdam of the third pier, by Richard Lambert Jones, Esq. the Chairman, assisted by the Committee and Mr. Rennie." The operation was the more interesting, as it is the deepest foundation that has been laid by cofferdams ( being thirty feet deep at low water, and forty- five feet at high water). This, in addition to the acknowledged rapidity of the current through the old bridge, rendered it a work of some difficulty, although every part has been carried on and completed with the greatest success.

FATAL DUEL.— Dublin, Deeember 26.— This morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. Brie, accompanied by Mr. Fitzgerald, of Tralee, and Mr. Hayes, a solicitor of Cork, attended by Mr. Gregg, of Cork, went to some fields on the north side of Dublin, to settle an affair of honour, which unfortunately terminated by Mr. Brie being shot in the left breast, and the bail having passed through his lungs, he died in a quar- ter of an hour afterwards. The cause of this quar- rel was as follows : Mr. Brie and some other gentlemen were standing at the General Post- office, Sackville- street, on Sunday last, waiting the arrival ofthe Cork coach, to know the latest account ofthe contest between Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Callaghau. On the coach's arrival, a majority having been announced in favour of Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. Brie exclaimed, " Devil mend that ruffian apostate Cal- laghan, we will put him down at last." Mr. Hayes, who was agent of, and a relation to, Mr Callaghan, replied, " he is a ruffian that calls Mr. Callaghaii so." On which Mr. Brie sent a message to Mr. HayeS, which lias fatally terminated as above. Hit. Hayes has absconded. Mr. Brie has been much blamed for giving the first oifence, and refusing to apologize. Mr. Hayes was very much affected at tiie event.

Extracts of " A letter from a Scottish Free- holder on the effects of ihe introduction of Foreign Grain upon the Condition of the Labouring Popu- lation — " Nothing can be more evident than that the admission of foreign corn beyond the deficit, if a deficit exists, when compared with , the demand, must diminish the home produce, and by that means lessen the demand for labour, unless the increase in demand for manufacturing labour fully equals the decrease in the demand for agricultural labour. If, for example, there is an importation of 1000 quarters of corn into this country, and a consequent diminution in the demand for labour equal to the quantity required to grow these 1000 quarters, unless the importation caused a demand for manufactures from abroad over and above what we could otherwise have exported, and equal tothe employment of all the labour before occupied in growing these 1000 quarters, it is clear that there must be a diminution in the demand for labour, and consequently in its real wages, in the amount of the comforts or conveniences which the labouring classes will be able to command ; and if we are to be guided by the experience of the last few months, we must conclude, that no such eifect is likely to be produced as the exportation of the additional quantity of manufactures in consequence of the importation of foreign corn, If a Polish nobleman exports 1000 quarters of wheat to England, will he, in consequence, import into Poland the whole value of these. 1000 quarters in English cotton goods and cutlery? or would not French wines and silks, Flemish lace and cambrics, come in for their share? It is perfectly clear, that the im- portation of foreign corn into this country, if it did not diminish the demand, when compared with the supply of labour, could not reduce the real wages oflahour; and as long as the real wages. of labour are higher in this country, the value of the articles that are principally produced by labour must also be higher. " The wished- for object [ on the part of the Free Trade advocates] of reducing the wages of labour in this country to a level with the wages of the Continent, is perfectly unattainable, except by inflicting tbe most severe suffering on the whole mass of the labouring population. The numerous petitions that are now presenting from the manu- facturing districts, in favour of a measure which is avowedly to reduce wages, shows how easily the labouring classes may be deceived as to their own real interests. " Were we, however, to admit to their fullest exter„ t the wildest dreams of manufacturing pro- sperity, which the theorists of the present day assure us will result from a perfectly Free System of Trade"—" were all these results, the effects of the wonder- working system of Free Trade, to be realized, of which, as yet, I lament to say, there is little prospect; still, however, recent, and dire experience proves that manufacturing speculation will occasionally so overstock the market, as to reduce the price of manufactured goods below the cost of their production ; and depending for their existence, as a large portion of our population must then do, on the importation of corn from the north of Europe, is it not possible that manufacturing enterprise, aided by machinery, might produce in one year as many cotton goods as all the Polish and Russian boors could consume in ten ? u What would we then have to offer in exchange for their corn, if a deficient harvest should un- fortunately coincide with this overflow of manu- factures? Could the government of Russia be blamed for prohibiting the export of the usual quantity of corn? Af whose feet would the manu- facturers then lay, their petitions for relief ? Not at those of our own gracious Sovereign ; for this country would then possess neither the food nor the means of purchasing it; abject recourse would become necessary— to the compassion of the Chan of Russia; and might he not be said to hold th reins of universal empire in his hands, when possessed of the food of the only people capable of resisting him ? I11 the words of the late Mr. Elliot, woe would then betide England, such as she never before knew, when the food of a large portion of her population was found to depend on the prosperity of her Cotton- trade." ISELANP.— ROMAN CATHOLICS. In the number of Blackwood's Magazine, just published, isan ioterestingarticle, entitled," What will become of Poor Ireland .'"— The writer says—. " It is but charitable to believe, that those Pro- testant politicians who think to invigorate the British Constitution by an infusion of Roman Ca- tholic strength, have acted upon the supposition that the Romish Church is reformed — that she no longer maintains her idle pretensions to supreme domination'— that her superstitious practices are abated, and her intolerant spirit liberalised— and that, though the Church nominally keeps up her titles, and follows her old forms, yet that the lay members of her community, at least, utterly dis- claim her influence in political matters— that they adhere toiler, not from bigotted attachment, but from early prepossession — that they look upon all Christians as brothers, differing more iu name than iu essence— and that, in wishing to become par- takers of power in a Protestant empire, they have no other object in view than the promotion of its interests, the consolidation of its strength, and the ensurance of its stability. There was certainly a time when some wise men so thought, and some who are called wise continue,- it seeina, to think so still. For this continuance I can see but one ground,— viz. that not one word of all that has been spoken and written, and which still continues to be spoken and written, by that legally convened body of Irish senators," known by the name of tbe Catholic Association, and their episcopal and priestly coadjutors, ia worthy of credit; for if it be, if they ore to be believed, Protestantism is the objcct of their most virulent hatred— it is an excrescence that must be amputated— it is iu Ireland at least an usurpation, an intrusion upon, the rights of the people, and a corruption of Christianity, which, for the benefit of mankind, ought if possible to be extirpated, and the glorious reign of Popery restored in all its pomp and pleni- tude, even as it now beautifies the free and happy governments of Italy, Portugal, Spain, & c. Tie main and primary objects of these associated and self- constituted legislators are, to rescind the Union with Great Britain— to strip the Protestant Church of Ireland of all its honours and emoluments — to overturn the University founded by Queen Elizabeth— to abolish all present corporate rights and charters, and to get entire possession of the power of returning members to Parliament. Wi',: 1 what hope the Protestant abettors of these legis- lators can look for the improvement of the British Constitution in such projectors may perhaps be known to themselves; as far as 1 can see into probable consequences, the prospect is not very promising." " Without looking further than our own island, what was the constitution, creed, and doctrines of tine Ro. tiish Church, in the days of St. Dunstan, St. Becket, and many other saints of like character? Do th? records of heathenism furnish more absurd- ities, follies, impostures, aud oppressions? None certainly, at least among the more civilized por- tions of heathenism. Well, what that church was then, we have her own authority for saying, she is at this day,- for she professes to be infallible, indefeasible, and immutable! I She calls repeti- tions of prayers, in a tongue unknown to the speaker, prayei's with devotion ; and measures the efficacy ofthe prayer by the rules of arithmetic,—- she calls a bellyful! of one food a holy fast, and of another, a mortal sin,— she calls the same act a sin iu one body, and a sacrament in another,— she plays tricks to delude the vulgar, and calls them miracles worked by the finger of God,— she has invented a secondary hell, for the purposes of an earthly traffic, — she forbids works of industry on days dedicated to saints,- but gives full scope to idleness, drunkenness, and profligacy,— she pro- hibits scriptural knowledg- e, because ^ he thrives by scriptural ignorance,— she makes God a cipher in his own kingdom, and takes the power of life and death into her own hands — and, to finish the climax of presumpt uous absurdity, she not only pretends to exercise all his functions, but moreover^ to make him first, and eat hira afterwards!

Nat fire, too, seined as if resolved to aid the scene with her accord- ant gaze. Il was- one . of those still, mild, genial mornings, which fdie loves to share alike between the buoyancy of the rising and tbe solemnity of the declining year, bttween the seasons of hope and of gloom, between autumn and spring; as though in 1 he- fickleness of her reign she wished to point out our more reflective thoughts to the incertitude of life's sunshine in all its varying seasons of this existence. In tbe south tlie clouds were heavily rolling away from the path of the god of day, who now for a moment dispersed I hem in their rapid way, and anon withdrew bis glory beneath Iheir veil. The eastern sky was streaked with lines which exhibited his faded track of rising brightness; while the north and the west were shared between tbe cerulean path which seemed to invite his advancing course, and the shades ' which were waiting to succeed tbe departure of his stlting brilliancy. That day ! bow many changeful thoughts, hopes, and fears, were to be crowded into such a spaii<*-* a.. speck of time! The scene before me IH the epitome of this reflection, for the world ! I think 1 have understood il to be generally a point of military discipline to limit, as far as is possible, the number of friends and relatives who assemble on the departure of a regiment for foreign service; and it appeared to me as if this rule had been acted upon in the present case. Still there were ( aud who cow- Id have had tbe heart to prevent them?) collected around the column many male and female relatives; the women almost like Rachel, * refusing to be comforted,' wedded wives and betrothed lovers, fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters— all Ihe ties of consan- guinity and of heart stretched on the rack of leave- taking and of separation. You might see many a gallant fellow summoning up all bis fortitude to bear himself aud his afflicted fair one bravely through the trial. You might hear the less impassioned but not tlie less sacred words of consolation which an only son uttered into the ear of a bereft and widowed parent. Here was an old man exhorting the child of his promise lo* emulate his father's dearly treasured cou- rage iu the same righteous cause— thai of bis King and of his Country ; there a youth pledging to a brother the vow of filial dijty and protection lo Iheir nged and common sire; and iu another direction was heard the deep- drawn, poignant burst of sorrow poured from the wife of hisji bosom into the struggling heart of many a manly mo| » ld. " Don't be unhappy, Mary,'* said one fine young man lo a pale, fair girl, whose grief, depicted in her gaze, was at first too acute to relieve itself in tears, " don't be unhappy; you will live with mother, and you will write to me, aud I shall perhaps find time to write to you; and a soldier's letter, you know, travels over the world for a penny; and we shall soon settle the matter, and n me back ; they won't dare to stand their ground long when our bayonets touch them— and then, Mary,"--—" Ah!" exclaimed Mary, bursting into tears, " but they may stay long enough to kill some of you, and how can I tell that you " " Oh ? no, no," replied the brave youth, " many chances before my turn. Mary, come, be cheery, you'll love me all the better when I have fought for King George." And then Mary wept again; but there appeared a hope in this seeond flow, imparted by her soldier's confidence and pride. " You'll gel half my pay," whispered a man, with accent of more tenderness than bis appearance med to warrant tbe expectation of—- a tall, hard, • atured-, strong limbed figure, with a Waterloo Medal suspended by the usual riband at his breast, pon which he looked down as if Ihe sight of it nerved him to some great exertion. " You'll gel half my pay," said he to a pretty young woman who car- d an infant on her arm, while with the other hand she held a blooming boy of 6 or 7 years old: " and as we cannot spend any money in Portugal, we shall save the other half lo send Johnny to school, and make a clever fellow of him; shall we not Johnny?" looping down lo kiss ( he rosy boy: " and he shall ake care of bis sister when he grows to be a man ;" nd I thought 1 saw a lear fall from bis full eye as lie aised il toward heaven, and added, " and when I orae home I shall gel my discharge and my pension, ud we'll go and live al tbe old village, and make all the country folks stare with the stories of all the battles and sights I have seen." flis sorrowing help- mate was too deeply affiicted lo utter a word; but she looked first nt her husband, then at her boy, whose little lears fell fast, though he scarce knew why he wept; and then at her infant, which she clasped in silent anguish to her bosom, and bid her face over the it tie innocent. At this moment the commanding officer who was to conduct these gallant men to victory or to death, mounted on his well- paced charger, which seemed to know the exact extent of its military step, placed himself at the head of the battalion. The words of command—" attention," " shoulder arms,'*" march," woe given in rapid succession. The scene was changed— all was life and motion— the band struck up a martial air, and the column moved forward. The assembled crowd gave the departing heroes cheers of encouragement and farewell; and I retired to my room, aud traced these few desultory lines, which may be cavilled at by the critics and Condemned by ihe stern; but which may, nevertheless, not be without the sympathy of some kindred spirits, nor the delights arising from llie consciousness of a warm hearted sensibiIity.— Literary Gazette. in their own rooms. I myself frequently encoun- tered them in my walks, as they lay by dozens in bushes and in hedges, on the look- out for prey. Their skins were beautiful in the extreme, often resembling ribands of the most glowing hues. A comrade of mine was once in the act of grasping one of these supposed ribands, and would have smarted sadly for his blunder, had it not been tor my timely intervention. Scorpions, likewise, abounded in such large num- bers, that the soldiers frequently discovered them both in their knapsacks and bread- baskets: we were therefore obliged to prepare scorpion oils, which alleviated the pain of their sting. These are com- posed of scorpions themselves, which are put into a little bottle full of olive oil; the heat of the sun decomposes the scorpions, and hence they become thoroughly amalgamated with the other essence. By one of these loathsomeand even terrible reptiles I was once exceedingly frightened. We were fetching bullets from Castleamar, and amongst them was a scorpion which was in the act of darting at my breast: I stepped back, however, in time to prevent the favour designed for me. TheSicilians were in the habit of making a circle of powder, within which they placed the scorpion, taking it up with the tongs, and afterwards setting- it on fire; by which means the insect was of course destroyed. They likewise make circles of glowing coals, in the middle of which the scorpion is put, its terrors and sufferings occasioning inconceivable pleasure to the lookers on : the poor devil, first with quick- action, which pain soon renders slower, runs round the ring, retreating by degrees to the centre, till it is ultimately killed by the fierce heat. In no instance, however, had I an opportunity to authen- ticate what has been frequently stated as a fact by others, namely, that the scorpion is accustomed to terminate its existence by its own sting. During- my stay in Sicily a single instance only came within my knowledge of any man having been killed by a scorpion— and this was a'member of our artillery corps. The reptile had concealed itself in one of his shoes; and when, on rising in the morning, he put his naked foot therein, the sharp pain of the sting induced him to withdraw it hastily, and on searching, the cause of the evil soon became ap- parent. Not, as it unfortunately happened, being aware of the danger of such an occurrence, it was disregarded by him, and he went about his business. After a while, however, finding the pain grow more and more acute, and the foot rapidly swell, he began to think seriously of the matter, and was advised to consult a medical man. The surgeon examined and probed the wound; but the poison having by this time been taken up by the absorbents, the whole economy of the system was vitiated, and no effec- tual aid could be administered. Thus the poor fellow lost his life, and the service a brave and worthy soldier.— Young Rifleman's Comrade. ADMIRAL GUISE. FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. SERPENTS OF SICILY. WINTER.

In Ihe passing events and reflections of but one short lionr, what a picture of human life may we behold !— I was led to this consideration by witnessing this morning Ihe muster of a body of the Fool Guards in Ihe Birdcage Walk of Si James's Park, and the commencement of their march to the coast, to embark for Portugal. It was Ihe 2.1 battalion of tbe 3d regiment of those fine troops who bad won Iheir full share of glory iu the late Peninsular war, which was thus again on fool for Ihe scene of Iheir former Iri. ompbs. There they slood, resting on their arms, in the most complete state of sohjieily equipment, not for 11 ie showy pageant ol a field. day's exercise, but for the endurance and Ihe fume of a foreign campaign. There was no noisy bnsile cither ainiilst Ihe thickly- closed ranks of Ihe soldiery or among Ihe collected multitude which had assembled to be the spectators of their departure. A sober gravity pervaded, iu general, Ihe countenances of both :— the settled pur- This very beautiful country is subject to serious annoyances. Poisonous reptiles abound therein, against which every tody should be placed on their guard. Serpents from six to eight i'eet in length, scorpions, tarantula-, and other reptiles, are found in large numbers. Thus, one fine morning, while 1 was in my little room in the hospital, where, besides myself, three other sick persons were accommo- dated, we were all of us enjoying the fresh breeze introduced through the open window, which com- manded both a fruit and a kitchen garden. Happy in the sensation of returning health, and regaling ourselves each with a pipe of tobacco, we contem- plated wilh delight the trees burthened with lovely blossoms and delicious fruit, and which exhaled the most aromatic odours: a desire seized us to taste some cf these luxuries; aud we comforted ourselves by the reflection, that our approaching discharges from the hospital would enable us to gratify this appetite. Suddenly a loud hissing at the window excited the attention of the whole party ; and a large black viper, followed closely by another, glided swiftly along the opposite wall. The two almost immediately commenced a furious battle; both animals twisting their folds round each other with such violence, that we could almost distinguish the crackling of the joints, although the smoothness of their long bodies soon enabled them to disengage themselves. They reared themselves aloft— renewed their convolutions— fell back again upon the earth- commenced and recommenced their conflict; and thus the fight continued several minutes. Oue was evidently weaker than the other, and made per- petual efforts to escape; but could not for a while accomplish her desire, being always stopped by the enemy. At length, however, she got away, and precipitated herself into a pond or basin of water which lay in the garden underneath, and was used to water the plants. The other lost no time in following, and had overtaken her antagonist, when both were suddenly lost to our view. After some moments, the stronger one re- appeared, trying, with all her might, to spring over the edge of the basin, which was finally accomplished: she crept back slowly to the scene of the contest, and lay basking i n the sun. The battle had manifestly fatigued her much, as was palpable from her forked tongue hanging out of her mouth, whilst in several parts of her body wounds were visible. Untiliiow, we had observed the action aud its result in silence, and having suffered her to rest awhile, we sought about for large stones, and threw them forcibly upon the reptile. Some of these hit the mark, but not sufficiently hard to do her any considerable injury. She now retreated with all dispatch into her lurking. place; and after a few minutes came up the owner ofthe garden, to whom we related what had passed. " O !" said he, " I know these gentle- men : they are great enemies to my vegetables." Me took his stick, and pulled wilh it the viper which had been suffocated by tbe water from out of the pond: she exhibited still a few signs of animation, but was quickly destoyed by blows. A few days afterwards I quitted the hospital, during my slay in which, I was given to understand that invalids were often annoyed by serpents, even [ From an elaborate narrative which has recently ap- peared in the London Papers, from a correspondent at Lima, giving an account of the present slate of affairs in some of the infant Republics of South America, we have made the following extract. Though loosely and inaccurately written, we have chosen to copy the passage verbatim. The style is of little consequence, but the substance will In- read with deep interest. The case of Admiral Guise is by no means a singular one, as several instances have occurred, in which the valorous services of British Officers in what has been termed " ihe sacred cause of liberty" in that quarter of the globe, have met with no other rewards than those of ingratitude, indignity, ami oppression.- A careful consideration of recent events in Colombia and Peru, must lead to the conclusion, thai Bolivar is actuated by the longings of inordinate ambition. Il is not his country but himself that he is anxious to serve; and his late proceedings tend to shew, thai lo effect his ends he will not hesitate lo adopt measures of the most flagrant injustice and tyran- nical oppression. The communication is dated from Lima, August 24, 1820, and the writer, alter some details too strongly corroborative of the above inferences, proceeds as under.| When in Chili, I solicited letters of introduction to Admiral Guise— known, I may say, universally, but more particularly in South America, Ihe scene of his gallant exploits, and the disgraceful manner in which they have been requited. This is especially chargeable on Bolivar. Even his worthless Ministers are ashamed of the treatment lo Admiral Guise, which ihey are made only ihe instruments of. I did not find him in Lima as I expected, but at a small village called Mira- flores, between Lima and Chorillos, distant about three or four miles from the former. After various applications to Ministers, who denied ibe request having particular orders from Bolivar, and aftei various applications to himself, through the Ad- miral's English friends, he at last relented, and allowed him to retire lo this ptace for the recovery of his health, and Ihe preservation of a life which Bolivar has, by every means ( short of assassination), attempted to destroy. I was directed by the servant to bis garden, where I found him occupied in sowing English garden seeds. He received me with great politeness, and conducted me back to his house, where he conversed for several hours. Being lately from England and Chili, our conversation turned chiefly on tbe affairs of these countries. I made many efforts lo bring him upon his own story, but he always changed the subject, and I did not press it further. 1 learnt from bis more intimate friends that he discourages all conversations on ihe subject, and that privately bis reason is, that he means to give the details of Ihe unheard- of cruelty he has experienced under the Dictatorship, as soon as he escapes from the grasp of tyranny; which in the dominions of Bolivar would be fatal to him. I must, therefoie, tell you whal 1 know of this affair, from the authority of others on whom 1 can depend. Admiral Guise was invited to Peru under the Protectorship of San Martin, but did not take a com- mand until the Presidency of Riva Aguero, whom Bolivar afterwards exiled, and who now lives in Eng- land or Flanders. The persecutions of Riva Aguero involved the country in a civil war, and the assassina- tions lhat were employed to destroy Ibat unfortunate Patriot aroused the honourable mind of Admiral Guise. He generously offered his mediation to save Ihe life of the President, and put an end to so dis graceful a scene. In this he succeeded, and tranquil- lity by this means was happily restored. The conduct of Admiral Guise was marked by manly independence, humanity, and patriotism. Bolivar himself could not withhold from him the highest praise. Bolivar's letter of thanks, in which he pays him ( the Admiral) many well merited compliments, has been published in the Government Gazette, and the Admiral published also a manifesto, exposing the motives of his conduct, which I hear does him the greatest honour. These documents I am unable 10 procure, bul the Admiral will no doubt give them to Ihe public. Bolivar gave bis praise of the conduct of Admiral Guise with a sulky deference to public opinion, and meditated in due time his revenge. Tbe Admiral's subsequent conduct, was so conspicuously grand, that il bore down all opportunities of annoying him. To embarrass his operations, Bolivar divided his squadron, drawing gradually, as opportunity offered, the affections of his officers, leaving him only a frigale in a sinking state. He hampered him with scanty supplies, and exposed him to ihe diffi. cullies and dangers of Ihe discontents of unpaid and unfed crews. But his individual character procured him credi', particularly amongst his countrymen, and his personal bravery and masterly discipline sup, plied his wants and conducted him to uniform victory In a frigate of 42_ guns and 250 men, be, on one occasion of the enemy's squadron, was single- handec blockading, and burnt the frigate Venganza ( of 44 guns), Santa Rosa ( of 22 guns), the ship Ocean, aud several others, in the bay of Cailao, and uuder the fire of those immense batteries— and a few nights afterwards the whole remaining force of the Spaniards in the same bay, previous to Ihe arrival of the Asia line of battle ship of 72 guns and 600 men, and the brig of war of 22 guns and 200 men. In his frigate alone, Ibe Protector ( formerly the Spanish frigate Pruebe), he attacked the same Asia and Achilles' on their arrival from Spain, after refitting in Chiloe, which saved themselves by flight into the Bay of Cailao, and he was blockading them in lhat bay when the auxiliary forces of Colombia joined him. The Asia, Achilles, Sea frigate of 32 - guns, Pesueila brig of 20 guns, and President of 14 guns, sallied out to destroy him. In the above frigate, with a small schooner ( the Macedonia), be deceived them, beat them again into port ( the Colombians, under the command'of Captain Wright, basely deserting him in the midst of tbe conflict), and resumed the blockade. This gallant affair took place off Cailao, in the presence of the British ships of war, the Cambridge ( Captain Mailing), and Tartar ( Captain Brown), and tbe United States frigate United States ( Commodore Hull). What Government but tbe Dictatorship of Don Simon Bolivar would have been ungrateful to such a man and such heroism? The frigate Protector could no longer keep the sea, and Admiral Guise repaired, by direction of his Government, to Guayaquil to refit. When tbe unex- pected icsults of the battle of Ayacucbo rendered the services of Admiral Guise no longer useful lo Bolivar, in announcing the results of that battle, the Dictator could not forbear, in his proclamation, to attack tlic squadron and tbe Governments of Chili and Buenos Ayres, both of which countries he has in consequence made his and Peru's enemies. A generous mind would have forgot all resentments, public and private, in the gratitude he owed to Providence for such a miraculous success. But Bolivar is a Christian of another colour. He could not let the moment slip him, and, finding his victim defenceless, he immedi- ately set bis agents to work, secretly and cunningly, his downfal, which he effected in the basest and meanest manner. Under some frivolous and false pretences he had him arrested in his house in Guaya- quil, whilst sick in bed, conveyed to the house of the Governor with 50 soldiers, and a mock Court was assembled of Colombian Officers, who felt themselves authorised to deprive him, unheard, of the command confided to him by the Peruvian nation; he was conveyed, nol by sea but by land, ond by roads double the usual distance, to Lima. The road lo Lima lies on the shore of the Pacific; but Bolivar had this sick officer dragged twice over the Cornel, leros, in ibe midst of winter, aud by roads at any time very difficult. In fchort, it was the intention he should die on the road, and no one expected the contrary. San Martin has been accused of being partial to midnight assassination ( as in tbe death of Roderigues, in Chili), to finish those persons ob- noxious to him; but Bolivar approves the slower and less humane operation of the torture. Bolivar speaks the Spanish language, and received part of bis educa lion in that country, so famed for tbe cruelly with which they put to death their victims. One of these, it is worthy of remark, who sat upon this secret inquisition ( and, thank God, only one!), was an Englishman. To the surprise of all, and the disappointment of his enemies, Admiral Guise survived his journey, but he arrived iu the territory of Peru ( that country he had so faithfully and so gallantly served,) almost dead from fatigue, and labouring under a very dangerous fever of the country, occasioned by his want of clothing suited for such a journey ; for iu Guayaquil they seized his papers, public and private, which have never been given up, and disgraced themselves by the robbery of his private money, and sent him on this cruel journey without a change of linen!! It was no sooner heard that he had arrived at Lambayeque, than Bolivar gave orders for his being remanded back b v the same road to Colombia, a convincing proof that he never intended to try the Admiral, nor suspected him of any crime. The Governor of Lambayeque, from the Admiral posi- tively refusing, had the humanity to suspend the execution of this disgraceful order, and he ultimately arrived in Lima, where he was confined in a dun- geon in one of their prisons, without an interview with any of the authorities, where he suffered in- credible tortures, until, as 1 have stated, the mind of Bolivar relented; and he was removed to the village where I found him. A mock process has been carrying on against him for eighteen months, and at last the public Prosecutor, or Fiscal, has given in his opinion that, in an elaborate review of the evidence exhibited against him by the Governor, there are no grounds for trial!" And the Fiscal has been-, it is believed, on that account alone, banished to Mexico. Aud, to complete the vvhofe', within only ihese few days, Bolivar has included the Admiral in his list of conspirators! and he has been agjain east into prison. Oh ! England, how 1 long to return to yotf, where the laws bridle the fury of Princes and evil coun- sellors, and where man is really free! The Admiral is acknowledged on all hands to be altogether free of this now accusation ; but Bolivar, it is supposed, will not consider himself disgraced by banishing him with Ihe others from a cpuntry in which the Admiral is as much respected as the olher is abhorred, and by this means lo deprive him of arrears of pay and prize- money to the 1\ mount, I hear, of 200,000 dollars. 1 visited, this injured gentleman in his filthy abode, and was gratified to find, on a visit to him, Captains Mailing aud Martin, of our Navy, whose ships are stationed here. The Admiral's dungeon is constantly filled with visitors, although the experiment is perilous Whilst with him he received several presents of flowers fiom Peruvian Ladies, whom he said he did not know; with others, decorated with ornaments emblematic of his situation and Ihe regard of Peru. Having shut op all the Peruvian officers of character, Bolivar's Authorities assembled, adopted Ihe Constitution he had given Upper Peru, & he accepted from Lima the Presidency for life of tbe Republic of Peru. He is said to be on the eve of depart ure for Colombia, where he will attempt something of Ihe same sort, al the isk of his neck, and then you will see the use be w iil make of his Congress of Panama, so ill understood in ope. IWaceUaneous Intelligence. The civil excommunication system is hard at work • daily proscriptions against Protestants are issuing • and denunciations against dealing with them pub- licly posted. Some samples of this nefarious liber- ality we have now lying before us— a coal- merchant on the north side of the town has been civilly ex- communicated— an eminent paper dealer has under- gone the same sentence— it would be endless to enumerate them.— Cork Constitution. A young girl in College- street, taking supper on Saturday last, accidentally allowed a piece of potatoe to pass into her windpipe, instead of the natural passage, the gullet, which brought on, instantane- ously, an almost complete stoppage of breathing-, with other symptoms of speedy dissolution, such aa j a piilse hardly to be felt at the wrist, cold clammy sweats, and total insensibility. In this state of things a surgeon was immediately sent for, who, judging the case to be ofa dangerous nature, called in additional medical aid. Dr. Marshal agreed with the medical attendant, that the only chance of life was an instant operation; he accordingly made an incision exactly opposite to the space between the cricoed and thyroid cartilages into the trachea; he introduced his finger into the windpipe, and pushed up the portion of potatoe into the mouth, when the girl instantly and involuntarily swallowed it, after which all the symptoms began to diminish; and when the medical gentlemen took their leave of her she was quite sensible, and, we understand, is now doing* well.— Glasgow Chronicle. Memorials to the Lords of Ihe Treasury and to the General Post- office, to establish a mail coach from Cheltenham through Tewkesbury, over the Tewkes- bury Severn Bridge to Ledbury, and from thence to Hereford, arc now in course of signature through the neighbourhood connected wilh that line of road. The advantages of such au arrangement must be apparent, as it will give to ihe inhabitants of Hereford and its vicinity Iwo hours to answer on the same day, letters received in the morning from London, Bristol, Bir- mingham, and all parts of ihe north and west, and also from Scotland and the north of Ireland. This object will be attained ( should the prayer of the memorial be granted) by the intended new mail bringing the Loudon letters for Hereford from Chel- tenham, on the arrival there of Ihe Gloucester mail; and by the present Bristol and Birmingham mails leaving the Ledbury and Hereford letters at Tewekes- bury, instead of al Worcester, as now done. The memorials show the saving in time lo Hereford to be exactly 24 hours in each case. One of the greatest matches ( against time) perhaps ever known was performed last week. Mr. Bullock, a gentleman of fortune, undertook, for a wager of 250 sovereigns, to. ride eleven horses ninety miles in five hours; to start from St. James's Chapel, Kilburn Lodge, Ware, See. to the foot of the hill or rise near Padbury, Bucks, about 53 miles, and 37 back. The equestrian rode list. 41b. and had trained for the match, which was a sporting one. Betting was 6 to 4 on time, with pleuty of takers, as the morning was favourable, and the roads, from the weather, rather loose.— The match was won easy, in 4 hours and 48 minutes, and the gentleman who rode was not much fatigued. We have never been able very distinctly to under- stand what portion of the inhabitants of this island constitute the " religious world." Some writers insist upon it that people in general are indifferent about their souls. We suspect uot. Life and death are serious matters, and it is not fair to accuse our brethren of being indifferent about either, merely because they may have their own way of shewing the interest they take in a here and hereafter. Most people, in a Christian land like ours, do solemnly, profoundly, and passionately meditate on their pre- sent duties and future destinies. The records kept by conscience should not be read aloud, in open day light, to a miscellaneous audience. Sinful spirits ( and what spirits are not sinful?) seek the hush of solitude for confession and repentance, and wounded spirits retire thither to take medicine from the hand of the Great Physician. Before the world, there are millions of devout people, who wear care- less aspects, and mingle seemingly with too intense anxiety with the bustle of this transitory life, but who nevertheless do bow down and prostrate them- selves in humblest religion before the all- seeing Eye. Can tbe religious world do more?— Black- wood's Magazine. At the East India House, on Tuesday, on the motion for a vote of thanks to Lord Combermere, for taking Bhurtpore, Dr. Gilchrist stated that his Lord- ship's name alone bad been of no small advantage to our arms. A superstitious opinion, founded on an alleged prophecy, prevailed iu that part of India, lhat. the fortress of Bhurtpore could never be taken until all the waters of its ditch should be swallowed up by in alligator; and it fortunately happened tbat the corruption by the natives of Lord Combermere's name, formed the word Compere, which, iu iheir language, signifies alligator, or crocodile, aud in- disposed them to resistance. A valuable Newfoundland dog, belonging lo Mr. John Rose, of Olton End, Birmingham, was missing at the house of his owner, the week before last, and continued absent for seven days, On Ihe morning of the eighth day, one of Mr. Rose's servants, whilst walking round his master's grounds, passed by rabbit bury, from which proceeded a sound similar to the whimpering of a dog, and by which he recognised Ihe voice of the one so long missing. Having used various endeavours to get the animal out without success, he commenced digging up the earth, and afler two hours' labour, succeeded in penetrating to the prison of tbe poor dog, eight feet deep, and releasing him from durance vile, after being rn close aud solitary confinement seven days and eight nights, without obtaining any food.— The animal was ranch reduced, and unable to stand, but proper aliment being administered, it has ever since gradually recovered from the effects of its long abstinence. The dog, if is supposed, eager in the pursuit of the rabbits, endeavoured lo force itself into the bury, but being more bulky than the usual race of quadrupeds which inhabit those subterraneous abodes, bad torn up the earth in order to effect an entrance, which choked up the passage, and thereby prevented it from making egress when wearied with its sport. DISCOVERIES IN EGYPT.— It is at length placed beyond doubt, that the Kile, of which Bruce con- ceived he had discovered the sources in Abyssinia, and which the Portuguese had seen and described in the sixteenth century, is only a tributary stream flowing into the true Nile, of which the real source is much nearer to the equator. For this information we are indebted to M. Calliaud, a French traveller, who accompanied the predatory expedition of the two sons, Ismael and Ibrahim, of the Pacha of Egypt, into Nubia, and who, in conjunction with M. Latores, has made known to us a new region in the interior of Africa, more than 500 milesin length, and extending to the tenth degree of northern latitude. This gentleman has likewise determined the position of the city of Meroe, of which he found the ruins in the Delta, formed by the Bahr el- Abriel ( the White River), and the Bahr- el Azraq ( the Blue River), precisely in the spot where D'Anville had placed them upon the authority of ancient authors. Avennes of sphynxes and of lions, propylea and temples in the Egyptian style> forests of pyramids, a vast enclosure formed with unbaked bricks, seem to point out in this place the existence of a large capital, and may serve to elucidate the much agitated, but still undecided question, " Whether civilization followed the course of the Nile from Ethiopia to Egypt; or, whether it ascended from Egypt to Nubia !" SINGULAR COURTSHIP.— A young gentleman happening to sit at church in a pew adjoining one in which was a young lady, for whom he conceived a most sudden and violent passion, felt desirous of entering into a courtship on the spot; but the place not suiting a formal declaration, the exigency of the case suggested the following plan:—" He politely handed his fair neighbour a bible, open, with a pin stuck in the following text: 2d epistle of John, verse 5th, " And now 1 beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment onto thee, but. that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another." She returned it pointing to the follow- ing;— 2d chapter of Ruth, 10th verse: " Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, why have 1 found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take notice of me, seeing I am a stranger?" He returned the book, pointing to the 12th verse of the 2d epistle of John: — " Having many things to write unto you, 1 would not write with paper and ink: but 1 trust to come unto you, and speak face to face." From the above interview the marriage took place the ensuing week. A MISER.— On Monday week expired, in his 83d year, Mr. Joseph Wright, for many years^ n industri- ous peruke- maker and hairdresser, in Kirkgate, Wakefield, Nearly ten years ago, his increasing age aud infirmities induced him to retire from business, since which time he has lived alone, in a small house, in the most penurious manner. A pennyworth of milk wilh a couple of potatoes formed the principal part of the daily food of himself, and a wretched dog, Iiis only inmate. To those necessaries, he occasionally added, as a luxury, a pouud of meal, which served him a week or ten days, and about once in a fortnight he indulged himself with a halfpenny- worth of small beer. Latterly he has been nearly helpless, and almost lost in dirt, seldom washing himself, or suffer- ing any oue else to do it for him. For nearly 12 months he has not slept in a bed, but laken his rest on two or three chairs before tbe fire, during which time he has had but two clean shirts; the first was wore so long that when taken off, it was obliged to be thrown into the fire. His house was a scene of filth and confusion, as he would not suffer any one lo clean it or put it in order. When told liy Mr. Statter, ibe medical gentleman that attended him in his last illness, that he had had some wine, he with eagerness exclaimed," Wine!— how much?" A hoi lie was the reply. " A bottle!" he re- echoed with apprehension, " A bottle! who is to pay for it?" On searching the house after his death, there were found in different places little parcels of money, gold and silver coins of various names and coinages, and some notes, lo the amount of £ 627. 6s. 6d. Besides this, he had four houses, in one of which he lived. It is not clearly known whether he possesses any other property than what is above specified. He has left a will dated in 1819, by w hich, afler a few specific legacies, amongst which are £ 10 a year to his surviving sister for her life, who is now 84 years old, he has divided his property equally amongst his seven nephews and nicces. FETCHAM MURDERS.— At the Kingston Assizes, the grand jury ignored the bills of indictment againsl Wm. Page aud Mary Ayres as principal and accessary, for the wilful murder of John Akehurst and Mary Haynes, of Fetcham. This finding will, of course, not prevent the investigation of this transaction at some future period, should lime develope stronger evidence against Ihe parties. In the Court of Common Pleas, on Monday last, a young lady of the name of Daniell, brought an action against Capt. Bowles, an officer of the 83d regiment, for breach of promise of marriage. The defendant, it appeared, had run away with the plaintiff from a convent in Italy, under a solemn promise of mar- riage, although he had a wife living at the time; this he afterwards confessed, but on his stating that he fully expected to obtain a divorce, the unfortu- nate girl, who was then only 18 years of age, con- sented to live with, and had a child by him. The Lord Chief Justice strongly commented on the defendant's conduct, as wholly unbecoming a man and a British officer, and the jury gave £ 1,500 damages. " We have," says the Hereford Journal, " great satisfaction in stating that besides the highly re- spectable bank now established in this city, a firm of the most respectable, character, well calculated to conciliate the confidence, and to meet the exigen- cies of the county, may be expected to commence business in this city early in January next, " InoN TRADE.— The quantities of pig iron made in England and Wales, says a late writer iu ibe Quarterly Review, at differeut periods, is as follows : — in 1750, 22,000 tons; 17S8, 68,300 tons; 1796, 124,879 tons; 1806, 252,000 tons; 1816,380,000 tons ; and, in 1824, 600 000 Ions. The great change in the fabrication of iron, by the substitution of pii coal for charcoal in the fluxing of the ore, has, no doubt, been the main cause of the vast increase of the iron trade: this has enabled our iron- masters to afford1 the article cheaper; and, by progressive improvements, we have not only nearly superseded ihe necessity of using foreign iron ( though for some especial purposes thai of Sweden is still used), but have established aj continually increasing export trade : the annual' average of British iron exported in the years 1765y 1766, and 1767, being 11,373 tons; for the years 1801, 1805, and 1806, 28,000 tons; and for the years 1822, 1823, and 1824, 94,000 tons. LIMESTONE.-— Till within a very few years the magnesian limestone^ used by different manufacturers at Bristol, was procured at a great expense from a distant part of England; it has since, in consequence of the gre^ l attention and scientific knowledge of late bestowed on Ihose subjects, - been discovered in ihe immediate neighbourhood of that city, and is, of course, applied to the purposes of the manufacturer. " It had," says Sir Humphrey Davy, " been long- known, Ibat a particular species of limestone, found ia different parts of the North of England, when applied in its burnt and slacked state to laud in considerable quantities, occasioned sterility, or considerably in- jured the crops for many years." Mr. Tennant, ia 1800, by a chemical examination of this species of limestone, ascertained thai it differed from common limestones, by containing magnesiau earth; and, bj several experiments, be proved, that this earth was prejudicial to vegetation, when applied iu large quan- tities in a caustic state. " Under common circum- stances," adds he, " the lime from the magnesiau lime- stone is, however, used iu moderate quantities upon fertile soils in Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and York- shire, with good effect, and il may be applied in greater quantities lo soils containing very great pro- portions of vegetable matter. Magnesia when com- bined with carbonic acid gas, seems not to be prejudicial to vegetation, and, in soils rich in manure, rt is speedily supplied with lliis principle from the decomposition of manure." A considerable propor- tion of the lime used for manure in some districts is made of magnesian limestone, which abounds in various places. What loss therefore, may not some farmers in those districts have sustained, or what profit foregone, by the misapplication of this lime to their peculiar and poor soils.* An investigation into the facts aud circumstances of this important subject, would be highly interesting. The peculiar properties of the different sorts of limeslone, which ihis country affords in such abundance, as applicable to the pur- poses of the architect, the builder, and the plasterer, would, alsof be well worth inquiry. It is evident, from Ihe remains of antiquity, that the Ancieuls had in common use a better cement than we have: Why should it not be recovered, or an equally good one discovered ? * Men of judgment in ngriculture have been surprised at the small crops obtained from some hill- lands. May this not possibly be accounted for on this ground? SINGULAR FACT.— A most curious discovery was made a few days ago at Fornham St. Genoveve, near this town. Men had been for some days employed in falling a pollard ash near the church, which had the appearance of great antiquity, being not less than 18 feet in girth, and very much decayed, and standing upon a small hillock, which seemed to have been left at a very distant period, when the rest of the soil around it had been lowered. On the fal! of the tree, the roots of which were an unusual size and length, tore up the ground to a considerable ex- , tent, when immediately under the trunk were dis- covered a large quantity of skeletons, or rather fragments of skeletons, all lying in a circle, with the heads inwards, and piled tier above tier from the depth of about four feet, being probably the remains of several hundred bodies.— The most perfect of the bones was a lower jaw, of large dimensions, contain- ing the whole of the teeth; all the rest were very much decayed. It is well known, both from history and the tradition of names,^ that in the reign of Henry II. A. D. 1173, this village was the scene of a sanguinary and decisive battle. According to Hoveden, the Earl of Leicester having made a descent upon Suffolk, at the head of a great body of Flemings, to support the claim of the King's unduti- ful son to his father's dominions, and having been joined by Hugh Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, who put the Castle of Framlingham into his hands,, was en- countered here by Richard de Lucy, the guardian of the realm in the King's absence, with a less numerous but braver army; and the Flemings, being mostly weavers and other tradesmen, were broke up in an instant— 10,000 of them put to the sword, and the rest were glad to compound for a safe re- treat into their own co' ntry. It is therefore proba- ble that these were the sfain of the victorious party, from the careful yet singular manner in which the bodies were deposited ; and that after the earth was heaped over them, the ash was planted to mark the spot.— If this supposition be correct, it affords a striking instance of the longevity of trees. Single bodies, bones, and remnants of arms and armour, have been not unfrequently found in the same neighbourhood; but it is rather remarkable that on the present occasion no warlike implements wera discovered.— Bury Post. * A heath in the neighbourhood is supposed to bo called John's Heath from the Christian name of tlie Earl of Leices- ter, and a shallow in the River Lark, at a short distance, still bears the name of the Countess of Leicester's ford. Near the latter place, in clearing out the mud a few years ago, a ring was found, exactly answering the description of one related to have been lost by the Countess of Leicester in her flight.
