And their Efficacy has been attested in numberless Instances; many of them on Oath before the Magistrates of Shrewsbury ; thus establishing their Pre- eminence over the Nostrums of ignorant Quacks, and over the more established Prescriptions of the Regular Faculty. In Cases of FEMALE DEBILITY, TORN OF LIFE aud any other Affliction of the Body arising from changed or vitiated System, the PLOUGHMAN' DROPS may be relied upon for a certain aud speedy Cure. N. B. Doctor SMITH does not recommend a starve ing System of Diet : he allows his Patients to tiv like Englishmen while taking the Ploughman' Drops.

As there is a great Demand for BEAR's GREASE, Person has the Pretension to say that he is the only > roprietor of the genuine Article, when in Fact, he is > erhaps the only one that has not the gennf le Bear's irease ; but if the Purchasers will give themselves the [' rouble of smelling it with Attention, they will easily liseover the Deception, his Composition being a Mix- ; ure of Oil of Almonds, Hog's Lard, and Mutton Suet, jerfumed with a little Bergamot ; which, from having malyzed it, J. DELCROIX can assert to be a Fact. Such Composition, in Lien of being beneficial to the ' reservation or Growth of the Hair, has a decidedly • ontiary effect ; Oil of Almonds, in particular, being of i very desicative Nature, and uot of a nutritive oue ; vhereas 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 the Public Tom falling into Error by using sneh Imitations, which ire 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.

Ca lining and the American & iui. sten in this coun; ® try, and the Amtr. iean Government, on the subject of: the Trade between the Colonies of ( h eat Britain add ^ the United Stales, has been published^. The question in ' dispute, though drawn out to an intolerable length by the forms of American diplomacy lies ia a very narrtow. compass. Premising that the A. meriCans are the complainants, we shall briefly state the matter:— Up to the year 1822, maintaining ihe old system of our Colonial policy, we excluded the vessels of the lUniied States, as well as the Vessels of all Other ^ Foreigners, from trading directly witlr our West Indian Colonics. The exclusion was in conformity |(. wilhthe rights of all nations, according to the received p piiufij> les Of international law *: and, in fact, iu' was M never made the subject. of rontplamr. In 3Sow- ever, Minisi'crs commenced, whether wisely or not, the system of free trade j and one of their earliest steps iu it was the opei/ iDg of the ports of alfthe British West | Indian Colonies, uudei' certain regulations, to Amefi- dan ships only, or, as it is truly slated by Mr. Canning, Silo Ihe ships of the United States, to th£ exclusion of Ball otbu- s. | i Mow did the United States receive this which wa's M undoubtedly a great favour? In March 1823, they ft! passed a law imposing a duty of about 4s. per ton on British vessels entering an American port from the British West Indian Colonies; and, in addition to 51 this," au del valorem duty of 10 per cent. 0; n all goods S imported in tfu eh vessels. VVe met ibis ctiactment, not perhaps as we ought lo have done, by again closing our West Indian ports ttgainst the A'rtieVicans, but by imposing an equivalent ffdnty upon American vessels and goods entering those P ports. Thus the matter rested until 1825, when our " Ministers followed up the free trade system by ex- tending to all nations the access to our Colonies, of which the United States had previously a monopoly. The indulgence was, however, very properly guarded by a condition, " that the privilege of intercourse with our Colonies should not tie enjoyed by the ships of States possessing Colonies, unless they should grant « $ n reciprocal permission j or by the States not having H Colonies, which did not place out' commerce upon ihe ^ footing of Ibe most favoured nation." The United HStales come within the exception of the latter clause |-— they do not place our commerce upon the footing H of the most ' favoured nation. On ihe 2fith of August last, the British Government therefore issued an order iu Council, withdrawing the permission previously allowed lo American vessels; and of Ihis Order it is that Mr. Gallatin complains, asserting that tbe mere West Indian trade would not be an equivalent 10 the United Slates for placing lire British commcrce on the most favoured footing; but that, in order to entitle ourselves fo I hat, we o'ught to surrender the British carrying trade also— a suffi- ciently moiiest proposition, it must be allowed. How- ever, this is not the question. Great Britain is not soliciting any thing frutfi the United States ; she is not therefore under the necessity of chaffering about equivalents. She has the right to return, if she pleases, to the state of affairs before 18* 22; and if'it be air object wilh the United States to prevail upon her lo depart again from that state, it is their busi iicss to find ihe price; for we are still to remember,; that it ia the American Government that is moving the question. It appears lhat the Pope, besides confirming the 1 privileges of the Inquisition at Rome, and re establish- ing tile ecclesiastical asylums for criminals who fly from justice, is resolved lo follow up these Christian arrangements by further measures of severity against the Jews. Some time ago we had lo notice the Papal I order, which required this persecuted people to dress with a yellow badge on the hats of the men, and ribands of a similar colour on the women, to distinguish ihe " wandering tribes0 from the faithful members of the Holy Church. This was bad enough: and we re marked al ihe time that a great uproar would be made if ihe head of Ihe Church of England sanctioned a law lo compel ihe Roman Catholics lo wear yellow or orange badges to mark them out from the Protestant portion of society. But his infallible Molii ess has now- had recourse lo another measure, equally wise and charitable. He has ordered all Ihe Hebrews lo dismiss iheir Christian servants, and has forbidden all Christian servants to serve in ihe households uf Jews. Now, whatever inconvenience Ihis decree may produce lo the Hebrew families within his territory, it must also, we should think, throw many Christians out of bread.— Morning Paper.

But these are charges coram only made'— they have been made against the early Christians and mo- dern Methodists. We hope fh'at the gentlemen w" hp have effected these conversions may perse- vere in their efforts, and may prosper. The zea- lous CathoMcs in Ireland, indeed, would fain put an end to these efforts for proselytisrn, in order, as they tell us, to preserve the peace of the country that is to say, being very intolerant of contradic- tion^ they w'isTi to have their feelings kept at'. rest by not having their doctrines questioned.

In the meantime, the 1' aris Journals generally continue to represent that policy as decidedly warlike, and quote the military preparations of Spain in Support of this opinion. In this view all the opposition papers, Ultra as well as Liberal, concur; and the Quotidienne, the col'ypheus of the war taction in France and Spain, Speaks of hostilities as settled, unless England retract her offensive language,- and Portugal, her obnoxious measures of reform. It also boasts of the means which the Spanish Government has of enforcing these pretensions; and amongst the rest includes an army of 20,000 Spaniards, and another of 40,000 Portuguese rebels, to Which, itvauntingly asks, what resistance will the 5000 British troops, who ha've landed at- Lisbon,- be able to make? To this we can only reply, that the Government, which has sent that force, is remarkable for its energy and foresight; and that it is moreover pledged; in the face of all Europe, to defend Portugal against every Power that should venture to disturb her tranquillity. It is therefore probable, that the British troops, who have been sent to that country, are considered fully adequate to the service on which they are employed; and we will tell tlie Qvotidicnne, and ils apostolical adherents, that the Power, which has made this demonstration, oould soon double, treble, and quadruple their amount, should a necessity for such extraordinary efforts arise. As it is better acquainted too with the resources of the Spanish Government, we con- sider it? present conduct as a complete refutation of all the warlike. rumours in that Paper. A further contradiction of these and other rumours of asimilar kind is contained in the circumstance of Mr. Lamb remaining in Madrid; and we should infer from this fact alone, that the chances for the preserva- tion of peace are much stronger than they are represented by the Paris journals. Another fact, though not so conclusive as the former, is the absence at this moment of most of his Majesty's Ministers ( Mr. Canning included) from town, which appears to ns wholly irreconcileable vvith the speculations iu most of the French, and more than three- fourths of our ow il Journals, as to the final issue of this momentous question. iu the meantime there is an article of corre- spondence iu the Utoile of Saturday, under the head of Sebastian, January 3, which shews that the game was at that time nearly up with the Portu- guese rebels, and that the arrival of the British troops iu Portugal had wonderfully contributed to cool their ardour.

HOME AND FOREIGN CONSUMPTION.— An acute writer iii Blackwood's Magazine for the present month, in the course of some observations on the late Mr. Rieardo's Theory of Rent, makes the follow iug remarks on the relative importance of the home and he was soon taken.-- J- VVilliam'Charles Evans, for stealing the wheels aud other iron work of a plough at Shelton, was sentenced lo 3 months-' imprisonment to hard labour; and Thomas Allen, for stealing a silver table spoon, the property of Thomas Harris, to he imprisoned one week. IRO NT TR A O B.— A T I he Staffordshire and Shropshire quarter days, last week, no alteration of' prices took place, except that the best, or Shropshire iron* ad. vauced ten shillings per ton; all other kinds remained stationary. The trade throughout these districts is fully employed, ami the demand is considered to exceed Ihe supply. The prices are certainly now remunerating, and are prude ntly not advanced : the former extraordinary prices proved disadvnntagcouK to the trade, and aiwajs produce a read ion, in causing, an inroad of new capital and extension of works inconsistent with the steady average demand. On New Year's Day, 300 people ( cottage tenantry, and their wives and labourer-); in the employ of the the argument is not new; but at the present moment it cannot be too often illustrated and enforced : — 14 The favourite result of these speculation^ of the new school, on Rent and on the Corn Laws, is to put down the cultivation of bad land ; to open Our ports to foreign corn ; to send our dismissed poor. Soil cultivators to the 90 degrees healed manufacturing mills; to re- imhurse, out of the increased manufac- tures, the growers Of corn abroad for what we purchase from them ; to entourage the foreigner's industry, and his means of purchasing our manufactures ; and, finally, to increase our wealth and comforts, by en- couraging a reciprocity of industry between the two nations, directly or indirectly, through the medium of a third nation.— The Chinese hinted repeatedly to Lord M Carlney their extreme contempt for foreign commerce: i Thai beggarly foreign trade, of what Value is it to the mighty empire of the great Kien- Long V— Well !

Take the population of Great Britain alone at twelve millions— examine a British family— a man, his wife, and three children, ihe^ common com- putation of a family—- value the worth of British manufactures wilh which they are. clothed— examine in any country in Europe, any number of families, and take an average of tbe value of British manu- factures* as clothing, in their possession— we shall not find a twelfth part of our manufactures on a foreign family compared lo one at home. Now, the result is, that in clothing alone our people consume annually more than do 144 millions of foreigners, without taking into account the household manu- I leave afler this the telescope Economists to amuse themselves in spying but valuable customers for Manchester aud u [ From our Private Correspondent."] Console for the account opened at 80 this morn- ing, but gradually declined afterwards to 79|, at which price the market closcd. There were no • adverse political rumours', as is usual in such cases, put in circulation, so that the only explanation of the fall that could be given waS fhe sta- te of the account, and a threatened delivery of stock to a large amount by one of the principal bankers on the account day. No express has arrived from Paris, but the political gossip in the home circles is said to be strongly in favour of a speedy^ as well as a quiet termination ofthe present discussions. It is affirmed that the dispatches received on Saturday from Madrid, and which were transmitted the same evening to Mr. Canning, at Brighton, leave nothing to be settled of the political " part of the discussions, and that the rest is likely to create no serious difficulty. The Spanish army of observation on the Portuguese frontiers is to be limited it fa said to 6,000 men, and some doubts are entertained whether even that number can be supplied in the present state of Ferdinand's military force.

We are authorised in stating, that the several Banks in this town will be closed, and no business transacted, on Saturday next, on account of the Funeral of the late Duke of York. An interesting article, from the pen of Sir Walter Scott, in which the public services of His late Royal Highness the Duke of York are delineated with a m'aster- hancl, will be found in pur 3cl page ; and it is consolatory to observe, by the various Provincial Papers, that one general feeling and intention exists, of showing, on the day ofthe Funeral, every mark of respect fpr one/ of whom it is truly recorded, in a quarter where His Royal Highness was best known, IHever was a man more beloved— never a man more deserving of love. Valuable as were the services of the Duke, as the reformer and director of that Army which bag never engaged but to conquer, more valuable still as the instrument of moral reformation of that great force, in the knapsack of every indivi- dual of which the Holy Scriptures are now to be found. The grief with which the Duke's loss is lamented owns a higher source than political or selfish considerations; and while the exploits, and above all, the character, of the British army are remembered, he will not want a monument, nor while his defence ofthe Protestant Constitution in Parliament is recorded, will that monument require an inscription, to perpetuate the services of the Soldier and the Patriot." The preparations for the Lying- in- State of the remains of the late Duke of York are by this time completed. The extent and dimensions of the state room are well calculated to give due effect to the cerenvnial; and the convenience mmmm& mmmmmmmm WtlE FUNERAL of the deeply- lamented His Royal Highness the DUKE of YORK being appointed for Saturday, the 20th of January, 1827 ; NOTICE is hereby given, that the Shrewsbury MARKET will be held on FRIDA Y, the 19th.

It is not expected to reach Windsor till late in the evening. The King- has determined not to quit the Castle during the melancholy ceremony. The consequence will be, that although all the pomp of military parade ia to be observed;, the customary firing will be omitted, in order to spare His Majesty the shock which such an announcement of the tomb having closed upon a brother so mush beloved would necessarily occasion. The whole of the ceremony will of course be performed by torch- light. Dur- ing the service,- his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, as next in blood to the deceased, will sit destroyed by fire.— I'he premises were in Ihe vicinity of Powis Castle and Leighton Hall; and it was mainly owing to the very great personal exertions of ihe Viscount Clive and Pantoo Corbelt, Esq.

[ BY SIR WALTER SCOTT.] Iii the person of his Royal Highness the Duke of York we may justly say, in the language of Scrip- ture, " there has fallen this day in our Israel a Prince and a great man." He has, from an early period of his manhood, performed a most important part in public life. In the early wars of fhe French Revolution, he commanded the British forces on the Continent, aud, although we claim not for his me- mory the admiration due to the rare and high gifts, which in bur latter times must combine to form a military genius, of the first order, yet il has never been disputed that in the field his Royal Highness displayed intelligence, military skill, and his family attribute— the most unalterable courage. He had also the universal testimony of the army for his efforts to lessen the distresses of the privates, during the horrors of an unsuccessful campaign, in which he acquired, arid kept to his death, the epithet of the Soldier's Friend., But it is not on account of these early services that we ui. w, sis boldly as our poor voice may, venture to bring forward the late Duke of York's claims to the perpetual gratitude of his country. It is as the reformer and vegenerator of the British army, which he brought from a state nearly allied to general contempt, to such a pitch of excellence, that we may, without much hesitation, claim for them an equality with, if not a superiority over, any troops in Europe. The Duke of York liad the firmness to look into and examine the . causes, which, ever since the American war, though arising out of circumstances existing long before, had gone as far to destroy the character of the British army, as the naturally good materials of which it is com- posed would permit. The heart must have been bold that did not despair at the sight of such an Augean stable. In the first place, our system of purchasing com- missions—- itself an evil iu a military point of view, and yet indispensable to the freedom of the country — had been stretched so far as to open the way to every sort of abuse. No science was required, no service, 110 previous experience whatsoever; the boy let loose from school the last week, might iu the course of a month be a field. officer, if his friends were disposed to be liberal of money and influence. Others there were, against whom there could be no complaint for want of length of service, although it might be difficult to see how their experience was improved by it. It was no uncommon thing for a commission to be obtained for a child in the cradle; and when became from college, the fortunate youth was at least a lieutenant of some standing, by dint of fair promotion. To sum up this catalogue of abuses, commissions were in some instances be- stowed upon young ladies, when pensions could not be had. We know ourselves one fair dame who drew the pay of captain iu the - dragoons, and TOLLS TO BE LET.

Holyhead Owen Owens. was probably not much less fit for the service than some who, at that period, actually did duty; for, as we have said, no knowledge of any kind was demanded from the young officers. If they desired to improve themselves in the elemental parts of their profession, there were no means open either of direction" or of instruction. But as a zeal for knowledge rarely exists where its attainment brings no credit or advantage, the gay young men who adopted the military profession were easily led iuto the fashion of thinking, that it was pedantry to be master even of the routine of the exercise which they were obliged to perform. An intelligent sergeant whispered from time to time the word of command, which his captain would have been ashamed to have known without prompting; and thus the duty of the field- day was huddled over rather than performed. It was natural, under such circumstances, that the pleasures of tbe mess, or of the card or billiard table, should occupy too much of the leisure of those who had so few duties to perform, and that extravagance, with all its disre- putable. consequences, should be the characteristic of many, while others, despairing of promotion, which could? only be acquired by money or influ- ence, sunk into mere machines, performing without hope or heart a task which they had learned by rote. To this state of things, by a succession of well- considered and effectual regulations, the Duke of York put a stop wilh a firm yet gentle band. Terms of service were fixed for every rank, and neither influence nor money was permitted to force any individual forward, until he had served the necessary time in the present grade which he held. No rank short of that of the Duke of York— no courage anil determination inferior to lhat of his Royal Highness, could have accomplished a change so important to the service, but which yet was so unfavourable to the wealthy and to the powerful, whose children and proteges had formerly found a brief way to promotion. Thus a protection was afforded to those officers who could only hope to rise by merit and length of service, while, at the same time, the young aspirant was compelled to discharge the duties of a subaltern before attaining ihe higher commissions. In other respects, the influence of the Commander- in- Chief was found to have the same gradual and meliorating influence. The vicissitudes of real service, aud the emergencies to which individuals are exposed, began to render ignorance uufashion able, as it was speedily found that mere valour, however fiery, was unable, oil such occasions, for the extrication of those engaged in them; and that they who knew their duty and discharged it, wcra- uot only most secure of victory and safety iu action, but most distinguished at head- quarters, and most certain of promotion. Thus a taste for studying mathematics and calculations applicable to war, was gradually introduced into the army, and carried by some officers to a great length, while a perfect acquaintance with the routine of the field- day was positively demanded from every officer in the service as an indispensable qualification. His Royal Highness also introduced a species of moral discipline among- the officers of our army, whieh has had the highest consequences on their character. Persons of the old school of Captain Plume and Captain Brazen, men who swore hard, drank deep, bilked tradesmen, and plucked pigeons, were no longer allowed to arrogate a character which they could only support by deep oaths and ready swords. If a tradesman whose bill was unpaid by an officer thought proper to apply to the Horse Guards, the debtor received a letter from head- quart'rs, requiring to know if there existed any o jections to the account, and failing in render- ing a satisfactory answer, he w as put ou stoppages until the creditor's demand was satisfied. Repeated applications of this kind might endanger the officer's commission, which was then sold for the payment of his creditors. Other moral delinquencies were at thesamettme adverted to; and, without maintain- ' ng au inquisitorial strictness over the officers, or taking too Close inspection ofthe mere gaieties and follies of youth, a complaint of any kind, implying a departure from the character of a gentleman and a man of honour, was instantly inquired into by the Commander- in- Chief, and the delinquent censured or punished as the case seemed to require. The army was thus like a family under protection of au indulgent father, who, willing to promote merit, checks, with a timely frown, the temptations to licence and extravagance. The private soldiers equally engaged the atten- tion of his Royal Highness. In the course of his superintendence of the army, a military dress, the most absurd in Europe, was altered for one easv and comfortable for the men, and suitable to the hardships they are exposed to iti actual service. " 1 he severe aud vexatious rules exacted about tha tying of hair, and other trifling punctilios ( which had been found sometimes lo goad troops into mutiny), were abolished, and strict cleanliness was substituted for a Hottentot head- dress of tallow and flour. The pay of the soldier was augmented, while care was at the same time taken, that it should, as far as possible, be expended in beltering his food and extending- his comforts. The slightest com- plaint 011 the part of a private sentinel, was as regularly inquired into, as if it hud been preferred by a General Officer. Lastly, the use of the cane ( a brutal practice, which our officers borrowed from the Germans), was entirely prohibited, and regular corporal punishments, by fhe sentence of a Court- Martial, have been gradually diminished. If, therefore, we find in the modern British officer more information, a more regular course of tudy, a deeper acquaintance with the principles of his profession, and a greater love for its exertions— if we find the private sentinel discharge his duty with a mind unembittered by petty vexations and regimental exactions, conscious of immunity from capricious violence, and knowing where to appeal if he sustains injury— if we find in all ranks of'the army a love of their profession, and a capacity of matching themselves with the finest troops which Europe ever produced— to the memory of his Royal Hig- hn ess the Duke of York we owe this change from the state of the forces thirty years since. The means of improving Ihe tactics of the British army did not escape his Royal Higtmess's sedulous care and attention. Formerly every commanding officer manoeuvred his regiment after his own fashion : and if- a brigade of troop;*, were brought together, it was very doubtful whether they cottld execute auy one combined tnove, i, » it, and almost certain that they could not execute the various parts ofit on the same principle: This was remedied by the system of regulations compiled by the late Sir David Dundas, anrl which obtained the sanction and the countenance ofhis Royal Highness. This one circumstance, of giving an uniform principle and mode of working to the different bodies, which are, after all, but parts of the same great machine, was in itself one ofthe most distinguished services which could be rendered to a national army, and it is only surprising that, before it w as introduced, the British army was able to execute any combined movements at all. We cannot but notice the Duke of York's estab- lishment near Chelsea for the orphans of soldiers, the cleanliness and discipline of which are a model for such institutions; aud the Roygl Military School,- or College, at Sandhurst, where every species of scientific instruction is afforded to' those officers whom it is desirable to qualify for the service of the Staff". The excellent officers who have been formed at this! institution, are the best pledge of what is due to its founder. . Again we repeat, that if the British soldier meets its foreign adversary, not only with equal courage, but with equal readiness and facility of manoeuvre—- if the British officer brings against his scientific antagonist, not only his own o- ood heart and hand, but an improved, and enlightened knowledge of his profession, to the memory ofthe Duke of York the army and the country owe them. The character of his Royal Highness was ad- mirably adapted to the task of this extended reformation, in a branch of the public service on which the safety of England absolutely depended for the time. Without possessing any brilliancy, his judgment, in itself clear and steady, was inflex ibly guided by honour and principle. No solicita- tions could make him promise what it would have been inconsistent with these principles to grant; nor could any circumstances induce him to break or elude Ihe promise which he had once given. At the same time, his feelings humane aud kindly, were, ou all possible occasions, accessible to the claims of compassion ; and there occurred but rare instances of a wife widowed, or a family rendered orphans, by the death ofa meritorious officer, without some- thing being done to render their calamities more tolerable. As a statesman, the Duke of York, from his earliest appearance in public life, was guided by the opinions of Mr. Pitt. But two circumstances are worthy of remark. First, that his Royal High- ness never permitted the consideration of politics to influence him iu his department of Commander- ill Chief, but gave alike lo Whig as to Tory, the pre- ferment their service or their talents deserved. Secondly, in attaching himself to the party whose object is supposed to be to strengthen the Crown, his Royal Highness would have been the last man to invade, in the slightest degree, the rights of the people. The following anecdote may be relied upon:— At the table of the Commander- in- Chief, not many years since, a young officer entered iuto a dispute with Lieut.- Col. , upon the point to whieh military obedience ought to be carried. " If the Commander- in- Chief," said the young officer, like a second Seid, " should command me to do a thing which I knew to be civilly illegal, I should not scruple to obey him, and consider myself as relieved from all responsibility by the commands of my military superior." " So would not 1," returned the gallaut and intelligent officer who maintained the opposite side of the question. " I should rather prefer the risk of being shot for disobedience, by my commanding officer, than hanged for trans gressing the laws, and violating Ihe liberties of the country."—" You have answered like yourself," said his Royal Highness, whose attention had been attracted by tbe vivacity of the debate; " and the officer would deserve both to be shot and hanged that should act otherwise. I trust all British officers would be as unwilling to execute ail illegal command, as I trust the Commander- in- Chief would be incapable of issuing one." The religion of the Duke of York was sincere, and he was particularly attached to the doctrines and constitution ofthe Church of England. In this his Royal Highness strongly resembled his father; and, like his father, he entertained a conscientious sense of the obligations of the Coronation Oath, which prevented hiinlrom acquiescing iu the further relaxation of tbe laws against Catholics. We pro- nounce no opinion on the justice of his Royal lligh- ness's sentiments ou this important point, but we must presume thein to have been sincerely entertained, since they were expressed at the hazard of drawing down upon his Royal Highness an odium equally strong and resentful. The Duke of 1 ork married to Frederic*, Princess J Royal of Prussia, Sept. 29, 1791, lived with her on k terms ot decency but not of affection; and the DukeH bud formed, wilh a female called Clarke a con f nexiou justifiable certainly . neither by the'law* of| religion nor morality. Imprudently he suffered fi this woman to express her wishes to hi in for f,, d promotion of two or three officers, to whose prefer II mem IhL- re could be no other objection than that? ® they were recommended by such a person It i might doubtless have occurred to the Du'ce that? the solicitations of a woman like this were not! ikely to he disinterested; and, in fact, sha Sbems! to have favoured one or two persons, as b.- i , « . herL paramours—^ several for mere prospect of gain, which f sue had subordinate agents to hunt out for, an 1 one5"- or two from a real sense of good nature and b « ne L volencs. The examination of this woman aud hei- IJ various profligate intimates before the House of ® Commons, occupied that asscmb. lv for nearly thr- eM months, and that With an intense,, ess of auxi- tyP seldom equalled. The Duke of York was acquitted! from the motion brought against him hy a majority! ot eighty; but so strong was the outcry against him* without doors, so much was the nation convinced! that al Mrs.. Clarke said was true, and so little! could tl. ey be. brought to doubt that Ihe Duke ofi York was a conscious and participant actor in all ? that person s schemes, that his Royal Hi. r|„ ies » L seeing his utility obstructed by popular prejudice!! tendered to his Majesty the resignation of his office f Which was accepted accordingly, March 20, ISOo'j And 11us, as according to Solon, ou, a dead fly can RO lute the most precious unguent, was the honour-? able tame acquired by the services ofa lifetime i obscured by the consequences of what the gavi world would have termed a venial levitv.- Thei warning to those of birth and eminence, id df * he! most serious nature. This step had not been long taken, when the mist in which the question wasF - involved began to disperse, The public accuser, iul the House ol Commons, Col. Wardie, was detected! In some suspicious dealings with the principal wit- I ness, Mrs. Clarke," and it was evidently expectation E ol gam that had brought this lady to the bar as ant evidence. Next occurred, in the « rlm moments of! retrospect, the great improbability that his Royalf Highness ever could know on what terms she| negotiated with those in whose favour she Solicited & t may be well supposed she concealed the uiotiicl or interesting herself iu such as were his ovvnf avoured rivals, and what greater probability was! there, that she should explain to him her mercemirvf speculations, or distinguish them from the iuterces- 1 sions which she made upon more honourable mo- I tives? When, the matter of accusation was thus! reduced, to his Royal Highness's having been, in two or three instances, the dupe of au artful won, an, t men began to see, lhat when once the guilt of! entertaining a mistress was acknowledged, the! disposition to gratify such a person, who must! always exercise a natural influence over her para- mour, follows as a matter of course. It waslheiJ that the public compared the extensive and length- 1 e. ied train of public services, by which the DukeS had distinguished himself in the management of the? army, with the trifling foibie of his having granted | one or two favours, not in themselves improper, at I the request ofa woman who had such opportunitiesL to press her suit; and, doing to his Royal Highness! the justice he well deserved, welcomed him" back, f in . May, 1811, to the situation from which he hadf b.- en driven by calumny and popular prejudice. f lu thai high command his Royal Highness cunt rnueilj to manage our military aft'airs. During Ihe last years! ofthe most momentous war lhat ever was wajed, his] Royal Highness prepared the most splendid victories! our annals boast, by an unceasing attention lo the! character and laleuls of live . officers", aud the comforts and health of the men. Trained under a system so| a Imirable, our army seemed to increase in " efficacy,! pi> wr, aud even in numbers, iu proportion to ihef increasing occasion which Ihe public had for their! services. Nor is it a less praise thai,- when ihe meul so disciplined relumed from scenes of battle, ravaged! countries, and stormed cities, ihey re- assumed the! habils of private life as if they had never left thein ; f and that of all ibe crimes which Ihe criminal calendar fc presents ( in Scotland at least), there are not above! one or two instances in which the perpetrators have! been disbanded soldiers. This is a happy change sinccj the reduction of Ihe army, after peac. ewilh America in! 1783, which was ihe means of iufesliug ilie count:)! with ruffians of every description; and in Ihe prioonj of Edinburgh alone, Iheie were six or seven dis [ handed soldiers under senteiici of death at the samel time.

' In his person and countenance the Duke of York LS large, stout, and manly; he spoke rather with some of the indistinctness of utterance peculiar to his late father, than with the precision of enuncia- tion which distinguishes the King, bis Royal Brother. Indeed, his Royal Highness resembled his late Majesty perhaps the most of any of George theThird's descendants. His family affections were strong, and the public cannot have forgotten the pious teuderness with which he discharged the duty of watching the last days of his Royal Father, darkened as they were by corporeal blindness and mental incapacity. No pleasure, no business, was ever known to interrupt his regular visits to Wind- sor, where his unhappy parent could neither be grateful for, nor even sensible of, his urn- emitted attention. The same ties of affection united his Royal Highness to other members of his family, and, particularly, to its present Royal Head. Those who witnessed the Coronation of his present Ma- jesty, will long- remember, as the most interesting part of that august ceremony, the cordiality with which his Royal Highness the Duke of York per- formed his act of homage, and the tears of affection which were mutually shed between the Royal Brethren. We are aware, that, under this heavy dispensation, his Majesty will be chief mourner, not in name only, but in all tbe sincerity of severed affection. The K. ig's nearest brother iu blood was also his nearest in affect ion ; and the subject who stood next to the Throne, was the individual who would most willingly have laid down his life for its support. In social intercourse the Duke of York was kind, courteous, and condescending, general attributes, we believe, ofthe blood royal of England, and well befitting the Princes of a free country. It may be remembered that when, in " days of youthful pride," his Royal Highness had wounded the feelings of a young nobleman, he never thought of sheltering himself behind his rank, but manfully gave repara- tion by receiving the ( well- nigh fatal) fire of the offended party, though he declined to return it. We would here gladly conclude the subject, but to complete a portrait, the shades as well as the lights must be inserted, aud in their foibles as well as their good qualities, Princes are th? property of history. Occupied perpetually with official duty, which, to the last period of his life, he discharged with the utmost punctuality, the Duke of York was peculiarly negligent of bis own affairs, and the embarrassments which arose in consequence, were considerably increased by an imprudent passion for the turf and for deep play. Those unhappy propen- sities exhausted the funds with which the nation supplied bini liberally, and sometimes produced extremities which must have been painful to a man of temper so honourable. The exalted height of rank, which renders it doubtless more difficult to look into and regulate domestic expend it nre, together with the engrossing- duties of his Royal Highness's office, may be admitted as alleviations, but not apologies, for their imprudence. A criminal passion of a different nature proved, at one part of the Duke's life, fraught with conse- quences likely to affect his character, destroy the • onfideuce of the country in his efforts, and blight the fair harvest of national gratitude, for which hs had toiled so hard. It was a striking illustration of the sentiment of Shakspeare:— The gods are just, and of our pleasant vices Make whips to scourge us.

Be it, moreover, r- collected that whatever sympathies may be supposed to exist in the royal breast of the French Charles towards a country aud a court where all his family were in the time of their greatest peril subsisted, pro- tected, and restored at lasl to their country and crown, such feeling's. can little enter into the morale of the French country, least of all into that of the French soldiers and officers in Spain.— They would recollect that as the soil of their yet nnrevenged dis- comfitures and unob'iterafed disgraces— They know that the trophies of Barossa, Vittoria, and Salamanca, are as yet unredeemed, and they know that tluse trophies were mainly won by English arms.— 1 he French Ministry, with whom the affair nominally rests, vvould hesitate before ihey ran counter to the feelings of the Fiench Army iu Spain ; and when were the French people ( so sensitive as a people to military glory), when were they known, we repeat, with an army already raised to their bauds without conscrip- tion, to shun a moment and a field so promising to their national vanity } From the foregoing the following inferences irre- sistibly flow :— lhat the root of these disturbances lies deep; that were even a nominal reconciliation to take place between ti e parties committed with each other, yet the general feelings of the respective countries the most immediately concerned ( Spain and Portugal) would finally app< ar, and most likely break up a hollow truce— These are formidable reasons certainly against War both ou the part of France aud England, which tie down the bands of both these great powers, but the French have ever had the character of out witting us in the diplomatic art— and Villele's faith may yet be punic.— Between the Liberals and Ultras he has a difficult game to play, aud perhaps as yet has hardly made bis election, wishing probably to feel the public pulse.

Many of its early emigrants are sketched, and several in- teresting anecdotes are woven into the narration In the number of the 3d ult. we have the following very curious account of a Mr. M'Connell, which almost partakes of the highest embellishments of romance. It was furnished by Mr. M'Connell him- self:—" Early one morning, in the year 1781, Mr. Alexander M'Connell, who resided in the neigh- bourhood of Lexington, wandered into the woods on foot in pursuit of game. Having succeeded in killing a deer at some distance from home, he found it necessary to return for a horse on which to carry it otf. While he was gone, five Indians came to the spot where the deer lay, aud naturally concluded that some one would soon return thither for it. Three of then: remained to watch it, and two placed themselves in ambuscade, near the path along which they rightly supposed the huntsman would pass. As he rode, therefore, near their place of conceal ment, they shot at him, killed the horse under him ; and, consequi ntly, took him prisoner. For several days he trave lled quietly with them, aud as he had a good rifle, end was an excellent marksman, they required him to shoot deer, buffaloes, & c. for them. At night, however, they used the precaution of having him tightly bound by each arm, and the rope attached thereto carefully passed under their bodies as they lay on each side of him. For some time he quie tly submitted to this treatment, but at length he ventured to complain that he was bound too tight, and to beg that the cords might be tied about him more loosely. The confidence of the savages increasing, antl their apprehension of his escape diminishing, they yielded to his request, but still continued to bind him at night in the same manner, though not so closely as at first. One night, when the parly had reached the banks ofthe Ohio, and when lie thought it uetfessary, if possible, to make liis escape, he observed a knife lying near his feet, as he was fixed in his position for the night. With considerable difficulty, and at the imminent hazard of aw akening the savages, who were snoring around him, and who were connected to the rope by which he was bound, he at length succeeded iu drawing the knife with his feet until he could reach it with his hand, when he cut the cord that confined him, and was able to rise. His first thought then w as to run oft', leaving the Indians asleep ; but, upon reflection, he coucluded that it would b impossible for him to escape in this way, as they would probably soon awake, and rapidly pursue him. Be came, therefore, to the heroic arid almost desperate resolution to endeavour to kill the five Indians, or as many of them as he could. With the utmost coolness he proceeded to examine their guns, w hich he perceived lying together; primed them, and put them in good order for service. He then disguised himself, by putting on a coat belonging to the Indians, and fixing a tomahawk and a sculping knife in his belt; and placed his own rifle at a little distance off, where the savages would not be likely to observe it, but where he himself could instantly fin it. All these preparations were made at a moment when five Indians were sleeping by him, and when the waking of either of them would have been to him instant death. All things being ready, be pro- ceeded to make the assault, l- le took two guns, one in each hand, and placing their muzzles at the breasts of two Indians w ho were lying oil each side of tbe spot where he had been, shot them both at ouce. The others, as- he expected, being awakened by the noise, sprang up and started in amazement. With a third gun he instantly shot at two of them who were close together, killed one, as he after- wards had reason to believe, and mortally wounded the other. The fifth Indian, seeing his companions lying dead about him, and not knowing where to find his arms, aud probably, iu the confusion ofthe scene, uncertain by how many he was assailed, precipitately fied. M'Connel), therefore, was left iu quiet possession of the field. Not feeling in- clined, however, to fight any more such battles, he took his rifle and proceeded expeditiously towards home, where, after a tedious and painful journey, he safely arrived, to the great joy of his friends, who bad" begun to despair of ever seeing him again. Some little time afterwards, Mrs. Dnnlap, a lady of respectability, who had been taken by the Indians, and retained a prisoner among them on Mad River, iu the $ u. te, of Ohio, made her escape, and returned home to the neighbourhood of Lexington. She stated, that shortly after the time when Mr. M'Cou- nell made bis desperate aud successful assault, one Indian out of five who had made a journey towards Lexington, returned with an account that they had We conversed the other day with an Irish gentle- man, w ho, although a Protestant, takes a statesman- like view of the Catholic question, aud is freer than most men we have met with from those angry passions and prejudices which boil in the breasts of so many of his countrymen. Among other things, we asked him how the Catholic priests are paid, considering the poverty of the lower orders, and the mode iu which tbe tithes have been appropri- ated since the iron reign of Oliver Cromwell ? " Paid!" was the reply; " most of them, I assure you, are much better paid than the bulk of the clergy in your country. In the mountainous dis- tricts, where the population is rather thin and scat- tered, a few of them may fare rather worse than their neighbours, but in general their incomes may- be rated at from six to eight hundred pounds per annum." At this we expressed some surprise, aud learned, in the course of a long conversation, that Ibe priest's stipend arises from a great variety of sources. In the first place, he has what is called an offering, twice a- year; at this offering, the poorest person must put silver into the plate, and the collec- tion not uufroquently amounts to £ 40 aud even £ 50 sterling. In the second place, the priest, some time after Autumn, sends his servant with a cart and sacks round the whole parish, when every indivi- dual who has any ground is expected to give him three riddlesfull of grain. Even Protestants submit to this lax; and in one parish, the English rector aud the Presbyterian minister are as regularly mulcted as any of their neighbours. Grocers, bakers, and traders in short of every description, are expected to give something still more substan- tial, and are all aware that liberality to the resident Catholic clergyman re- acts on their interests very beneficially.— Next come the fees on confessions, baptisms, marriages, deaths— for even the most calamitous events are taxed, such as, for example, a new mouth which it is difficult to feed, or the pre- mature and unforeseen exit of the stay and support of a numerous family. The fee on a baptism is half a crown ; but in cases where the parents are com paratively wealthy, a great deal more is usually paid. What the fee is on a death, we forgot to enquire, but on every marriage the lowest sum received is 16s. 8d. And where this sum comes from must appear a wonder to those who have heard of the countless numbers of peasants who are weekly and daily seen rushing into matrimony, although they are scarcely so well clad as thescare- crows in some other countries. But we cat) dissolve this knotty point, by informing the reader that the girls in general provide the passport to the priests' favour; for there is no " Green Board" iu the court of love— uo way of entering the Temple of Hymen in forma pauperis. Whenever, therefore, an Irish suitor's offers are accepted, bis intended knows that she must redouble her exertions, and by working out of door when she can find employment, spinning when she should be sleeping, and, above all, by never entering- a hedge- ale- house, the important 16s. 8d. are at last raised, and perhaps as much more as will purchase a pot, a potato creel, a fir table, and a couple of chairs or three- footed stools. House- keeping, iu fact, is a very simple matter in Ireland, and Megg Dodd's cookery would actually be thrown away on three- fourths of the population. The w ild animals themselves cannot well be more independ ent, or more entire strangers to every luxury, excepting whiskey But still tbe pairing system proceeds, ar. d, as Burns says somewhere— Bnirelly chicls and clever hissies Are bred Iu sic a way as this is. Bone and muscle are manufactured in abundance, but there is little education and less mind ; and hence the wide- spread stream of pauperism, for which there is, unfortunately, no provision. It is a common remark, that a piece of land should leave three rents— one to the laird, one to his tenant, and one for seed and labour. But in pUee of one, the Irish lairds and the middle men together sometimes levy two- thirds; and though the poor tenants are so unmercifully fleeced, not the slightest provision is made for want, age, or disease. If this be not an evil, we really know not what is ; aud whatever may be the efl'ect of non- residence, no on.-> surely ( if we except, indeed, those who profit by it), will be so bold as to defend the rack rent system of unhappy Ireland. o— EARLS AND DUKES OF YORK. A. D. 1190. The first who enjoyed the title of the Earl of York, was Otho, Duke of Saxony, eldest son of Henry, surnamed the Lion, Duke of Bavaria and Saxony, one of the greatest Princes of his time, by the Princess Matilda, or Maud, eldest daughter of Henry II. King of England: he was afterwards Emperor of Germany, but died without issue ; he was likewise nephew of King Richard 1. and King John. It is observable that his youngest brother William, born at Winchester, was tbe im- mediate ancestor of his present Majesty in a direct line; so early was the illustrious house of Bruns- wick allied to the blood royal of England. 1385. Edmund of Langley, surnamed Planta- genet, fifth son of King Edward III. was Earl of Cambridge and Duke of York. 1401. Edward Piantagetiet, son of the former, Earl of Rutland and Duke of York, was killed while valiantly fighting at the glorious battle of Agincourt, in 1415, and left uo issue. 1415. Richard Plantagenet, nephew of the last Duke, and son of Richard, Earl of Cambridge, who was beheaded fora conspiracy against King Henry V. 1415, succeeded his uncle as Duke of York. He begat^ the fatal contest between the two potent houses of York and Lancaster, and was kiilecl at the battle of Wakefield. His bead was placed on one of the gates of York, with a paper crown on it, by way of derision, by Queen Margaret, consort of Kiug Henry VI. 1474. Richard Plantagenet, born at Shrews- bury, second son of King Edward IV. was Duke of York, and murdered with his unfortunate brother, Edward V. 1485. Henry, second son of King Henry VII. vvas Duke of York : he was afterwards Henry VIII. 1604. Charles, second son of King James 1. was Duke of York, afterwards the unfortunate Charles I. 1643. James, son of Charles I. was the next Duke, afterwards the weak and bigotted James II. 1718. Ernest Augustus, Duke of Brunswick Lunenburg, and Bishop of Osnaburg, brother to King George I. was Duke of York and Albany, aud Earl of Ulster. 1760. Edward Augustus, grandson of George HI. and brother of George II. was created Duke of York. 1784. Frederick, second son of George III. and brother of George IV. was created Duke of York and Albany, and Earl of Ulster, aud Bishop of Osnaburg. With respect to Portugal, while we repeat what we said on Tuesday, that our confidence, as to the final result of the contest carrying on there, remains unimpaired, we must also repeat, that it vvould be a delusion to expect the immediate resto- ration of tranquillity. It is evident, from the accounts published in the Lisbon Gazettes, that although the rebels had been kept in check by the Constitutional troops, they are spread over a large extent of country, and that, consquently, it must be some time before they can be reduced to sub- jection in every quarter. The presence of the British army, small as it is, will, doubtless, do much, especially as a means of restoring confidence and infusing vigour: the Cortes, too, seem ani- mated by tbe best spirit; and the Princess Regent manifests an unshaken energy. All these things may be expected to produce the happiest result eventually; but we must not forget that the work is still to do.— Courier. There is at length good ground for congratu- lating Europe ou the adoption of a final and decisive measure on behalf of Greece by the three great Powers of Great Britain, France, and Russia. The Cabinets of London and St. Petersburg!) had, some time ago, transmitted their ultimatum to Turkey on this subject. The Court of the Tuil- leries has acceded to the policy of its allies within the last fortnight, and resistance by Turkey to their joint demands is wholly out of the question. The point insisted on amounts to nothing less than a full recognition by the Porte of the absolute and entire independence of the Greek nation, which recognition is to be officially communicated to the parties requiring it by a given day; failing which, the Ambassadors of the Allied Christian Courts are, on that same day, simultaneously to quit Con- stantinople. Consuls were, at the expiration of the time of the ultimatum, to be sent to Greece from England, France, and Russia. — Times. Accounts received from St. Domingo, on Monday, explain away, in some measure, the cause of the late report as to revolution in that island. Port- au- Prince was, it is true, very disturbed, and a report had been spread that the President was assassinated by the disaffected. The English commercial men who sent for vessels of war from Jamaica, to protect their property, dreaded the general state of the island; but their particular situation was also threatened by a fracas with tha Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The latter had in bis newly- established Journal attacked the Europeans generally, the English in particular; one of the latter raised an action for libel, which was brought forward by a Mulatto advocate, but such was the power of the Secretary, that the^ latter was dismissed from practising in the Courts, and a hue and cry raised against all the Whites settled in St. Domingo — so much so that they con- ceived neither their lives or property were safe. We should be unjust to the Duke of Wellington f we did not state, on authority which there is no room to doubt, that his administration of tbe Ord- nance has been marked not more by severe economy than by inflexible justice; insomuch, that in the ungrateful task of reduction, under which a fre quent necessity must arise for mortifying the well- founded hopes of men grown old in their country's service, and for repaying with disappointment the most conspicuous merit, even the sufferers under this discouraging course have been the foremost lo acquit of all unfair or unequal pressure the hand by which it was directed.— Times. A poor man having disposed of the letters of his name, according to his own fancy, upon his tax cart, was summoned for the offence, aiid for turn- ing the Act of Parliament into ridicule, by having the following letters on his cart: A MOST ODD ACT ON A TAX CART. The poor man observed he was no scholar, but his name was Amos Todd, he lived at Acton, and he understood be was obliged to paint the letters, A Tax Cart. PROGRESS OF THE ARTS OF FRANCE.— Within ihese twelve years France has made immense progress in almost every branch of manufacture. Pins are now made at a single operation, the " heads and tails" being of a piece; so thai Ihe proved), " As useless as a pin wilho'ut a head," is likely lo be soon lost, from the thing not being possible. In the article of Plated Goods, ihe French seem even to surpass Ibe manufacture of Birmingham. VVe have seen plated caudlcslieks of which Ihe making only cost five sous Ihe pair, and ihey are sold al twenty pence in retail. The same manufacturer has discovered llie method of making coffee pols, lea pots & c. of one piece of metal, without soldering, and that loo at a cheaper rate than by the old methods: we have seen several articles of this kind, of very elegant form The Gilding of Metals is now carried lo a perfection unknown in England ; and as the duty on importation amounts to a prohibit ion, one of Ihe best French gilders is going to establish himself iu London. Our dessert services may thus rival Ihe French in elegance and cheapness; anei it is to be hoped lhal we shall soon be delivered from lire heavy tribute paid lo France for all objects in or molu ; it is a branch of industry which would be most lucrative, and which it would cost a mere trifle to create; whoever does it is certain lo realis immense fortune.— French Correspondent, Literary Gazette. ST. DAVID'S COLLEGE, LAMPETER, CARD1 GANSHIRE— Ou the filb of December, a Grace, much to Ihe credit of tbe University of Cambridge, passed Ihe Senate, to present to the Libiary of ST David's College, Lampcler, a copy of each of the books printed al Ihe expense of ihe University. A valuable collection of hooks has also been presented lo it by the Bishop of Salisbury, to which many of Ihe colleges and members yf Ihe Univeisily of Oxford have liberally contributed. Considerable exertions have been lately made towards completing the Col- lege, and it is. expected to be iu a slate ready for receiving Siudents by Ihe beginning of February. We understand that the Lord Bishop of St. David's has been for some time very laudably engaged iu procur- ing proper Tutors for the College, and Ihe success which it is said thai his Lordship has met wilh on llie occasion is eloobtlessn matter of congratulation lu the Principality. The following are Ihe gentlemen who have received appointments: I. The Rev. Llewellin Llewellin, M A. Scholar of Jesus College, Oxford, has been appointed Principal of ihe College. Mr. Llewelliu is ot Tremaius, near Bridgend, Glamorgan- shire: he gained University honours of tlie first class al Oxford iu 1822, and was Private Tutor of Jesus College. For his literary eminence, he Was lately appointed head- master uf Bruton School, Somerset.— 2. The Rev. Alfred Ollivant, M A. Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, has been appoinied Vice Princi- pal, and Divinity Professor of Ihe College. Mr. Oili- vaul was Examiner of commencing Bachelors in the University of Cambridge, and also Examiner of the Artillery Cadets not educated at Hailcybury, He was likewise Sixth Wrangler, and Senior Medallist iu 1821, and was at the same lime Tyrwhitl's Hebrew Scholar.— 3. Mr. Rice Rees, S- holnr of Jesus College, Oxford, has been appointed Classical Tutor, Prbfessol of Welsh, and Librarian of Ihe College. Mr. Rees is nf Llandovery, and nephew of Ihe Rev W. J. Rees, of Cascob, Radnorshire; he was of Lampeter School, wheie he distinguished himself hy his classical attain- menls, and the gaining of premiums; he also gained Ihliversily honours at Oxford in 1826, and was Private Tutor at Jesus College. From Ihese three persons, so eminently distinguished for Iheir classical attainments, respectability of character, aud religious and moral conduct, whose office will be to inslrurt th ose who are to be Ihe Pastors of the- people1, hcncfils of ihe giealesl importance may be expected lo accru to Ihe inhabitants of the Principality. miscellaneous Intelligence. The Lisbon papers of the - 28lh nil. after annenmcing the arrival of Ihe Brilish ships of war wilh our troops ou board, in the Tagus, give a variety of official docu- ments, amply confirmatory of Ihe former advices of the relations of amity between the Courts of Lisbon and Madrid being perfectly restored. The Spanish Ambassador has been again formally recei\ » dat the Portuguese Court ; and iu his hole to ihe Brilish Ambassador, he not only expresses the displeasure of his Sovereign at the conduct of the Portuguese rebels, bat makes a elireel assurance of his Catholic- Majesty's resolution to maintain the relations of good understanding with Portugal; of his desire lo remove every motive or pretence which might affect ils con. tinuauce; and to adopt such measnree as may be best suited to prevent Ihe repetition of occurrences calcu- lated to endanger the relations between the two coun- tries. At Queen- square Office, London, on Saturday, Jane Weston, and three small children, w ho have for a length of time imposed on the credulity of John Bull, were brought before W. A A. White, Esq. by Thompson, the street- keeper at Whitehall.— It ap peared from the statement of Thompson, that this drama was uncommonly well got up. The prisoner, who was the principal tragedian iu the piece, com- pletely deceived him for some time, as well as the public, by her inimitable representation of a dis- tressed mother, with three children, starving in the streets.-— The scene opens thus:— The prisoner is discovered sitting on tlie steps of Mr. Cockburn, at Whitehall- place, exclaiming, " My poor children what shall I do to get you a mouthful of bread?' when a tail genteel woman, belonging to the com pany, comes up, and says, " God bless me ! my poor creature, what is the matter: here is all 1 iiave got about me at present ( turning to some stranger passing): did you ever see such a scene of misery?" Here John Bull's heart naturally melfs, and his hand goes into his pocket, when a little short woman, genteelly dressed, belonging to the party, comes up, exclaiming, " Oh dear, I am afraid the poor woman is in labour; do get her to a public house, aud give her some refreshment; I fear she will die in the streets" ( By this t me a crowd begins to be collected). " Here, my poor soul, take this, it is the last penny I have; but some of these good Gentlemen will surely give you a trifle." The distressed mother, during this time, is groaning most lamentably, and commences with " God bless you, kind Ladies, my poor children have had nothing to eat for some days, may you never know what want is!" The feelings of the auditory are now wound up to the highest pitch, and the pennies, sixpences, per chance a half crown, flow into the treasury, and tbe distressed mother is removed to a public- house, aud the scene closes. The distressed mother and the two Ladies then regale themselves with gin, & c. when they remove to some other spot, the drama is again successfully represented, fanel the performers reap a rich benefit. Thompson said, that so completely was the public gulled by the acting of the prisoner and the two Lady confe- derates, that about three weeks ago be took tbe prisoner into custody, when she resisted, appealing to the bystanders, who rescued her; but in this instance some of the audience had seen the tragedy so often repeated, that their tears had ceased to flow, and Ihey assisted him.— William Morgan cor- roborated this statement.— Elizabeth Watts said, FIRE.— The extensive warehouses, the property of Alderman Atkins, situate in Cousin- lane, and thence, backwards to Dowgate Wharf, were on Friday morning discovered, between five and six o'clock, to be on fire. An alarm was instantly given, and the engines, of which there are several in the neighbourhood, were soon on the spot. We regret to state, however, that they were wholly useless for nearly two hours, from the want of water, and the impracticability of the men to bring them to bear on the flames, even when water was obtained. It was past nine o'clock before any | thing like a supply sufficient to cheek the fire could be obtained, and even then, from the narrowness ofthe lane, it was extremely dangerous for any one to go down. The immense height of the building, when the top took fire, caused the flames to show to a very great distance, and had an awfully grand effect on the Surrey side of the river, and from Southwark Bridge. One great difficulty was, that the engines could not approach the buildings on the western side, but through the opposite warehouses; and even here', in the confusion, there could not be broug- ht to bear more than one or two engines on the building. A considerable portion of the roof at length gave way, falling inwards, anei carrying every thing with it down two floors. The exertions of the firemen were still paralyzed and the flames were left to go downwards. By eleven o'clock, several engines were got to work from the tops of the warehouses, in Cousin- Ian which soon gave a considerable check to the de- vouring element. The immense pile was occupied by the Hartley Bottle Company, who will sustain a heavy loss. As to the origin of the fire, no ac curate account could be obtained ; butit is geuerally believed, that i^ must have been smouldering throughout the night, as it burst forth with tre- mendous fury. The building is insured for £ 4000 in the Protector Insurance Office, but we could not learn what office ha3 the stock. The different window sills presented a very curious appearance, as, wherever the water was played on them, wheu they became cooled, it froze, and icicles hung not from them only, but from the lower parts which had not taken fire. By half- past twelve o'clock, a complete check had been given to the flames, but tbe whole building may be said to be destroyed. It is a fact worthy of notice, that it has not been finished more than four months, the former building haviug been destroyed by fire. The splendid Gold Vase subscribed for by the Members of the Berkeley Hunt Club, as a gift to their distinguished leader, Colonel Berkeley, was presented to that gentleman last week on his birth- day, after a sumptuous dinner at the Plough Hotel, Cheltenham. Iu the unavoidable absence of the Marquis of Worcester through indisposition, John Browne, Esq. of Salperton, performed the ceremony of presentation. SERPENT.— Astonishing power of a Python, or Boa, Constrictor.- Mr. Henry Wise, a mate in a China ship, says, that when at anchor on the coast of Ceylon, a Python slid along the cable, and en- tered the mate's cabin. When perceived, some of the crew threw the noose of a rope round it, but it contrived to twine itself round a butt of water. By fixinga rope to apully they then with difficulty disengaged it from the butt, yet not till it had so compressed it, that the hoops from the middle sank to the bottom. It was stabbed by the Captain, but not killed, and was preserved by Mr. Wise seventy days, and then died. On Tuesday the 26ih ult. an inquisition was taken before Mr. Pratt, one of Ihe coroners for the Isle of Ely, at the Windmill, in Eastrea, in Ihe parish of Whit lie- sea, on view of ihe body of William Spceehh y, who died in consequence of over- exertion or injuries received in a fighi and affray, in which the deceased had been engaged Ihe day preceding ( Christmas Day) ll appeared in evidence that a dispute arose between deceased aud Charles Walters, which ended in Ihe- parlies agreeing lo fight, which immediately look | d ice. Walters w as seconded by a young man named John Simpson, who struck the deceased durino- Ihe A BASE COIN MANUFACTORY.— The following! are the particulars of the caption of the parties now | in custody, and who have uudergone several ex- aminations at Hatton- garden, charged with beingl extensive manufacturers of base coin:— In couse- l quence of information which had been received, a| party of the Thames Police, and a party from Hat- ton- garden, proceeded, on Saturday, Dec. 23, to a I house in the Vauxhall- road, and in getting to the! back door, one of the officers observed the prisoners I at work at a bench. The moment the prisoners! observed him they retreated; the officers broke open the door, aud one of the prisoners attempted to make his escape through the hall door, but was too closely pursued, and he was not able to effect his object. The other ran up stairs, the officers following him. He succeeded in getting into the back drawing room, and ran towards a cupboard; here he immediately touched a spring, and a trap- door in the floor sprung up, down which he at- tempted to get, but the officers caught him as hei was descending; and had he succeeded in getting! into it unseen, it would have been impossible fori him to have been discovered. When taken, both! prisoners said that they knew they were dead men. l It was a folly to think of resistance. They were! then both handcuffed. Theoffieers, in the presence! ofthe prisoners, said, " Had not we better begin tol search the hoose?" " Oh," replied the prisoners,! " then you will find enough in it." On examination! of the house, tiney found in a cellar under ground! upwards of one thousand sovereigns, a press of half! a ton weight, besides several hundred dies, and a( lathe. The floor of the cellar, as well as the walls,! were all covered with demys, the chimney was also! stuffed with it, so as to prevent the prisoners beingl heard while at work. The house itself was very! genteely furnished ; the exterior of it exhibited strange appearance, the shutters of the parlour! windows were always kept closed, and a bill was! exhibited on the outside of them, with " unfurnished! lodgings to lets" and whenever auy person inquired | after them, the answer was, " lhat the lodgings had | beeu just let."— The officers having secured their! prisoners, and taken possession ofthe house, leaving one ofthe party behind to take care of it, proceeded! to a house in Tittenden- street, Horsemonger- lane. f Here they knocked at the door, and on being rnitted proceeded upstairs to the drawing- room, and5 there found two respectable- looking females at a! table, upon which there were upwards of 5,0001 shillings, besides a quantity of half- crowns and! sixpences, which they were folding in paper, in! parcels of twenty each; they were immediatelyi taken into custody, the house searched, and there! was found a quantity of dies, besides a press quite! new, and also a lathe. Having secured the females, one of whom was found to be the wife of one of the! male prisoners, the officers proceeded to a house! at the rear ofthe Mitre Hotel, iu Greenwich, where! they easily obtained entrance, and found a man, who seemed to be thunderstruck at their visit,| stripped as if he had been at work; they took him! into custody, and, on searching the house, found ai press, a lathe, aud various other instruments fori coining, besides a great quantity of money in an! unfinished state, it appeared that the Greenwich house had the rough part of the manufacturing, the house in Vauxhail road the finishing, and that in Tittenden- street was the sale repository. The house at Greenwich was fashionably furnished.— While the officers were in possession of the houses, several | persons called, and ou inquiring was Mr. So- and- so6 at home, the officers appearing, they slunk away,| saying they would call again. One young man! came to the house at Greenwich, and ou looking in! through a window of the parlour, seeing a case of| pistols and pair of handcuffs on the table, he in- stantly ran away. Ou Christmas- day, while thelj officers were in the house in Horsemonger- lane,| about five o'clock, a carriage drove up, full of well- dressed females, apparently coming to dinner, who,! finding how matters stood, drove off. Several let-! ters came by post, containing orders from their! country customers, and the terms used on the oc- 1 casion were—" I'll thank you to send me so many! dolls, presumed to be sovereigns; and toys, great! and small, shillings and sixpences. On examination! ofthe dies, nothing could be found to be more per- fect ; they conld scarcely be distinguished froml those of the Mint. The quantity of base coin ex-[ ceeds £- 2,0'.) 0 ; the value of the manufacturing im-| plements is estimated at between £ 600 and £ 700.1 It is said, that through their extensive connexions,! their issues amounted to £ 1,000 a week. The malel prisoners, after they were taken into custody, were! put on board the police- ship, until their examination! at Hatton- garden. All their manufacturing imple- ments have been removed to Hatton- garden, and I filled three carts. THE ORIGIN OF CONFINING JURORS FROM] MEAT AND DRINK— The Gothic nations famous of old, in Europe, for Ihe quantities of food! and drink which Ihey consumed. Tbe ancient Ger- I mans, and their Saxon descendants in England, were! remarkable for Iheir hearty meals. Gluttony audi drunkenness were so very common, that those vices! were not thought disgraceful; ami Tacitus represents! the former as capable of being as easily overcome by! strong drink as by arms. Intemperance was so! general and habitual, lhal uo one was thought to be! fit for serious business afler dinner; and under this! persuasion it was enacted in the laws, lhat Juelgesl should hear and determine causes, fasting, and note after dinner. An Italian author, in his Antiqui- ties," plainly affirms, lhat this regulation was framcel^ for the purpose of avoiding Ihe unsound decrees con- sequent upon intoxication; and Dr. Gilbert Sluartl very patiently and ingeniously observes, in bis, " His- torical Dissertation concerning the Antiquity of the British Constitution," p. 238, lhat from this pro- i peusity of Ihe older Britons lo indulge excessively in! ealing and drinking has proceeded the restriction upon! jurors aud jurymen, to refrain from meat and drink,| aud lo be even held in custody, unlil they had agreed! upon their verdict. at she knew the party well; the tall woman who was dressed in a straw bonnet, and a whittle on her shoulders, had often abused and threatened her.— Mr. White: It must have been a piece of most excellent acting. You have done perfectly right, Thompson: I wish you would bring the tall woman here.— Thompson said he would endeavour to get her if possible.— Mr. White said, that the prisoner should not perform in public again for three months, and she was committed to the House of Correction for that period. hi, and who after it was terminated in favour ol Spceehley, look him by the nose and violently tripped up l is heels, soon afler which he was placed upon a chair and died immediately. Many witnesses were examined ( including two surgeons who had opened the body), and the Jury, after a long and palieni investigation, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Wallers and Simpson, who were immediately apprehended under Ihe Coroner's warrant, and by him c ill 111 i I led for safe custody to Wisbech House of Correction, and from thence to Ely to meit their trial al the next Isle of Ely Assizes. MARCH OF INTELLECT.— In The Times, a few days since, appeared the following advertisement: —" To School Assistants.— Wanted, a respectable gentleman, of good character, capable of teaching the classics as far as Homer and Virgil. Apply, & c.& c." Some time after the above had appeared, the person to whom application was to be made re- ceived a letter as follows:—" Sir, » — With reference to an advertisement which xcere inserted in The Times newspaper a few days since, respecting a school assistant, I beg to state that I should be happy to fill that situation; but as most of my frends reside in London, and not knowing how far Homer and Virgil is from town, I beg to state that I should not like to engage to teach the classics farther than Hammersmith or Turnham green, or, at the very utmost distance, farther than Brentford. Wating your reply, 1 am, Sir, & e. & c. John Sparks." The schoolmaster, judging ofthe classical abilities of this " youth of promise," by the wisdom dis- played in his letter, considered him too dull nsparh for the situation, and his letter remained unanswer- ed. ( This puts us in mind ofa person who ouce ad vertised fora strong coal- heaver," and a poor man called upon him the day after, saying, " he had not got such a thing as a strong coal- heaver, but he had brought a strong coal- scuttle, made of the best iron- and if that would answer the pur- j pose, he should have it a bargain.)
