Jfcrf Monday's and Tuesday's Posts. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. FRANKFORT, Dec. 24. IF. TTERS from Vienna bring the ini- portant news that the Ambassadors of the three Allied Powers were oil the point of quitting Constan- tinople on the 1st December. The same letters likewise bring news that Admiral de Rigny had burnt the Greek fleet, adding that Admiral Cochrane had escaped with great difficulty on board an English vessel. VIENNA, Dec. 20.— VVe have to- day received letters direct from Smyrna, dated the 23d of November, which make no mention of the burning of the Greek fleet at Scio. We begin to doubt the truth of this news. TRIESTE, Dec. 17.— Letters from Alexandria, dated November 7, state that tranquillity has not been inter- rupted there, though the events of Navarino were known. We have no official news relative to the burning of tile Greek fleet off Scio by M. de Rigny, which has been spoken of here these three days. LEGHORN, Dec. 12.— The reports which we have received respecting the piracies of the Greeks are very melancholy. We have now here many unfortunate Cap- tains of ships who are mutilated in consequence of the tortures to which the Greeks put thein, to make them confess that they had money on board. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 28.— Since war with the three Allied Powers appears inevitable, the Porte has given orders to replenish, in the shortest possible time, the magazines in the capital, and for this purpose has concluded several contracts with Austrian ami Sardinian merchants in the city. Already 40 Turkish vessels have sailed for the Black Sea to take in grain. MADRID, Dec. 17.— The evacuation of St. Sebastian and Pampeluna appears to be definitively settled. With regard to Cadiz, there will remain there for some time a French garrison, and it appears at the same time that an English garrison will occupy the fortress of Belem, at the mouth of the Tagus. St. Sebastian and Pampeluna will not be evacuated before the end of March, when the English troops will leave Portugal. London. MONDAY, DECEMBER 31. ARRIVAL or DON MIGUEL— About half- past two o'clock yesterday, the Admiralty yacht, with His Royal Highness Don Miguel on board, cast anchor in front of Greenwich Hospital. The Prince having landed, was received by the Lord High Admiral, Earl Mount- charles and Sir W. H. Fremantle ( two of the principal officers of the King's household), the Portuguese Ambas- sador, Admiral Sir A. Goodwin Keates ( the Governor of the Hospital), together with several Admirals and other officers. His Royal Highness was conducted to the Go- vernor's house, where a dejeuner was prepared for him. Shortly afterwards the Prince entered one of the King's carriages, attended by Earl Mountcharles anil an officer of the household. The Prince's principal attendants, M. de Mello, M, de Saldanha, and Count de Villa Real, accompanied by Sir W. Fremantle, followed in the second carriage. The royal equipage, with a detachment of the Life Guards, proceeded at a slow pace to the residence of Earl Dudley, in Arlington- street. The band of the guard of honour, stationed in Arlington- street, played " God save the King," on the arrival of His Royal Highness. — Soon after his arrival. Kail Dudley, His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, arrived in his full court dress, and had an audience of His Royal Highness. Mr. Huskisson and several persons of dis- tinction called in the course of the afternoon— In the evening a sumptuous dinner was served up, on the King's service of plate, to His Royal Highness. The Marquis Palmella, the Portuguese Ambassador, and a select party of distinguished foreigners, had the honour of dining with the Prince. Accommodation has been provided for the Prince's domestics at Fenton's hotel. His Royal High- ness appears to he about 25 years of Rge ; m height, live feet six or sever, inches. He is a pale young man, of very sensible and gentlemanlike appearance— modest and reserved, vet courteous in his manner. His Royal High- ness was dressed ill plain black clothes, without any older or decoration whatever. He is expected to leave this country by way of Falmouth, for which purpose the Perla Portuguese frigate has been ordered to the west- ward, from Portsmouth. He will probably sojourn here ten or fourteen days, during which His Majesty will en- tertain His Royal Highness at Windsor Lodge, where nr » * t prfparaiioos have been made for his reception , and it is understood the King will accompany hiiu to both the winter theatres. The Gazette de France of Friday, which ar- rived on Saturday afternoon, contained flic important in. tclligence that Admiral de Rigny, after vainly summon, ing Colonel Fabvier to cease from hostilities, had de stroyed the Greek fleet in the road to Scio. This news was given on the authority of letters from Trieste, where the report was current so early as the evening of the 14th. No date, however, was assigned to tiie attack, nor were any details entered into. It will be recollected that the three Admirals addressed, on the 24th of October, four days after the destruction of the Turkish fleet at Navarin, a note to the " Permanent Committee of the Greek Le- gislative Body," in winch they declared that the armis- tice at sea having been dc facto established by the icfent battle, it was absolutely necessary for the Greek fleets to observe it. They also stated pointedly, that if the Greeks refused to do so, their fate should be the same as that of their opponents. The Gazette de France of Sunday, which lias arrived by express from Paris, contains intelligence from Vienna and other places, throwing some doubt on the reported burning of the Greek fleet by Admiral de Rigny. The departure of the Allied Ambassadors from Constantinople, though flill unconfirmed by any official notification of the fact, has received every con- tinuation short of that authentic character. M. de Ri- beaupierre, it is reported, goes to Odessa, and Mr. Strat- ford Canning, and Gen. Guilleminot to Corfu. The Porte, it is said, declined to give them passports, upon the ground that they needed none, as they were under the protection of the Ottoman Government. The following is an extract of a private letter: . " PARIS, Dec. 20.— The Government has not received any intelligence relative to the destruction of the Greek Fleet; but it is considered not improbable, as the in- structions of the Admirals of the Allied Fleets are such as would justify them in taking such a measure, should the conduct of the Greeks render it necessary. The Ambassadors were at Constantinople on the 4th inst., but they were then on the point of departure." Br tin- late treaty of Peace made between Russia and Persia, by which the Araxes is made the new boundary between the two empires, it appears that a considerable portion of Persia is ceded to Russia, and that the latter Power has, in consequence, ihe complete command of the Caspian Sea. Lisbon Gazettes have arrived to the 23d nit. From these it appears that great efforts are making to restore the credit of the Lisbon Bank. The Princess Regent, on the llith ult. granted an audience to the Pre- sident and Secretaries of the General Assembly of the Bank. They attended for the purpose of expressing their gratitude for the generous offer which her Royal Highness had been pleased to make of her jewels and private coders, to meet the present urgent wants of that establishment. These efforts in behalf of the Bank, it was hoped, would stimulate the capitalists of the country to come forward. ANCONA, Dec. 10.— The Ionian steam boat arrived on the 0th. Ibrahim Pacha had burnt Tripoliza, and gone towards Navarin, Coron and Modon ; it was reported that lie wished to hire some European merchant- man to return to Egypt. 11c had been joined by the Arabs, who were in garrison at Patras; and the Turks who remained were in treaty with the Greek blockading corps. Three English ships of war had arrived at Malta, to reinforce Admiral Codrington. The Russian squadron celebrated, on the 1st of December, a solemn funeral service for the brave men who fell at Navarin. Under the date of Jassy, Nov. 16tlt, it is an- nounced, that Count Wittgenstein had positive orders to pass the Russian frontiers, without waiting for further instructions from St. Petersburgh, as soon as he had au- thentic infoiillation of the arrival of M. de Ribeaupierre at Odessa.— On the other hand, the preparations of the Porte are equally warlike. The different Turkish garri- sons are being strengthened and put into a state of com- plete defence. According to accounts from Constan- tinople, of the 27th ult., the field equipages were ready, and the horses to be used in the campaign had been sent to Adrianople. The Marquis Wellesley arrived in town on Saturday from Ireland. The noble Marquis has taken up his residence at the house of Sir C. Cockerell, in Piccadilly. Letters from Malta, of ( be 8th of December, state that the Russian squadron was refitting there, and was expected to remain till March. The remains of Capt. Bathurst, killed at Navarino, were interred on Thursday in Stonehouse Chapel, Plymouth, with military honours. Boring lor water h;> s been carried on at Bos- ton to the depth of 570 feet, hut as yet without success. EXECUTION.— This morning, John Thomp- son, aged 25, and Joseph Swaine, aged 2li, two notorious burglars, underwent the awful penalty of the law on a scaffold erectetl at the top of Horsemonger Lane Gaol.

PECTORAL ESSENCE OF COLTSFOOT. riMlL Herb COLTSFOOT has long been JL distinguished for its excellent properties in the cure of Coughs, and other Pulmonary Complaints; and this Essence has, in the course of a long practice, been found the most safe and effectual Remedy for Coughs, and all Disorders of the Lungs. It gently opens the Breast, and immediately gives liberty of breathing, without any ( lunger of taking cold, and thus it affords great relief in Asthmatic Complaints. It allays the tickling which pro- vokes frequent coughing, cleanses the small glands, re- laxes the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities of the vessels. Thus it will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the Lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals rawness and soreness of the Chest, This Pectoral Essence is prepared by James Ryan, surgeon in Bristol; and sold in Bottles at 2s. !) d. and 3s.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2. DON MIGUEL.— His Royal Highness held three levees on Monday, at the residence of Karl Dudley, in Arlington- street. At ten o'clock the Prince received a deputation of thirty of the principal Portuguese mer- chants and others, who were presented by the Marquis de Palmella, the Portuguese Ambassador, and Count Villa Real, Chamberlain to his Royal Highness. At 11 o'clock the Prince held a levee to receive the King's Cabinet Ministers, which was attended by Viscount Go- derich, Earl Carlisle, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Wynn, Vis- count Palmerston, & c. At 12 o'clock, tile Prince received the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers. His Grace the Duke of Wellington had an interview with His Royal Highness. At the close of the Foreign Ambassadors' levee, the Prince went in one of the King's state car- riages, attended by Karl Mountcharles, U) visit the Duke of Clarence, at the Admiralty; after which His Royal Highness returned to Arlington- street, and left town soon after three o'clock, in one of His Majesty's carriages, with outriders, escorted by a party of Lancers, for the Royal Lodge, Windsor Park, on a visit to the King. Several of the Cabinet Ministers, and some of the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, were invited to dine with the King, to meet His Royal Highness at the Lodge, where a dinner was provided yesterday for thirty. Apart- ments have been prepared for the occupation of the Prince at the Royal Lodge; the principal part of His Royal Highness's suite will be accommodated at Cumberland Lodge. PARIS, Dec. 31.— No authentic information has as yet arrived at Paris, respecting the events at Scio, or the departure of the Ambassadors from Constantino- ple,— Gazette de France. LISBON, Dec. 20.— The British troops conti nue in their old quarters, and the rumours of their in- stant departure have ceased. I have heard this morning of one capitalist here who went on Monday to the Bank, and gave in « i, IHIUJMIO reis ( 28,000/.), for which he took a note bearing five per cent, interest, and payable after twelve months. All say the Dank has means to pav all the demands on it; but its credit has been ruined through the folly of the Directors. A letter from Trieste, dated the 20th ultimo, states that the piracies of the Greeks on the vessels of Austria have beer, carried to such an extent, that a gene- ral meeting of the merchants had taken place, and a resolution to fit out four ships for the protection of trade, and to cruize against these free- booters, was carried una- nimously. Letters have been received from Jamaica to the 10th of November. They contain no political intel- ligence. The reports of the crop are very favourable; there had been tine rains CORRU, Dec. 3.— The corsairs, instead of having ceased their depredations in compliance with the ! orders and manifestoes addressed to them, have, on the contrary, increased in number in an extraordinary manner. The American President's message to Con- I press has been received. It is, as usual, a very lengthy ! . document, but, at the same time, an interesting and well- written one. A gratifying view is given of the re- i sources and prosperous state of the Union, Mr. Adams | appears very sanguine as to the general improvement and j amelioration of the human species. He talks about peace and prosperity prevailing to a degree seldom expe- rienced over the whole habitable world, " presenting a foretaste of that blessed period of promise when the lion shall lie down with the Iamb, and wars shall be no more." The President speaks of Great Britain in a much more conciliating tone than in his last Message. " A negotia- tion," he observes, " upon subjects of high and delicate interest, with the Government of Great Britain, has terminated in an adjustment of some of the questions at issue upon satisfactory terms, and the postponement of others for future discussion and agreement." The ac- quiescence of Great Britain to that article of the Treaty of Ghent which respects the indemnity, Mr. Adams re- marks, " ought not to pass without the tribute of a frank and cordial acknowledgment, of the magnanimity with which an honourable nation, by the reparation of their own wrongs, achieve a triumph more glorious than any field of blood can ever bestow." The President after- wards expresses his regret that the commercial intercourse between the United States and the British colonial pos- sessions has not approximated to a friendly agreement. It appears that the French spoliations continue unre- dressed by the Court of Paris ; but tile President trusts that " the gallant and honourable spirit which lias al ways been the pride of France, will not ultimately permit the demands of innocent sufferers to be extinguished in the mere consciousness of the power to reject them." The reading of the President's Message was interrupted by a painful occurrence. Mr. Van Horne, of Pennsyl- vania, was suddenly seized with an apoplectic affection, gave a frightful shriek, and fell convulsed and lifeless upon the floor! By a decree of the Mexican Congress of October 10, all Spanish Ecclesiastics are ordered to leave the country, and all the property in their convents to be forthwith delivered up to the Mexican Ecclesiastics. They are, by the decree, forbid to remove any thing but their own personal effects. Madame Catalani was to give, on the 23d instant, her first public Concert at Copenhagen. She is said to have received from his Majesty the King of Sweden a diamond cross, with very large brilliants : from the Queen, a diamond agraffe; and from Prince Oscar, and his consort, a necklace and ear- rings of sap- phires, mixed with brilliants. The following frightful catastrophe has taken place at St. Symphorien, department of Vienna. In the middle of the night, a man named Dorat, one of the most comfortable inhabitants of the village, left his bed, in which lay his wife, about 211 years of age, and taking a torch, set fire to the houses and barns of his relations and neighbours. On returning to his own house, lie set fire to it, and with a hatchet kiiled his wife, a grown- up daughter, about 23 years of age, ( whom he had by a for- mer wife), and a neighbouring woman, the parent of six children, who had run to the cries of the first victims. He then armed himself with three pistols, and ran through the streets, knocking down and threatening with destruc- tion every body he met. He at length threw himself into a pond, and was drowned. The cause of this furious barbarity has not been discovered.— Paris paper. On Thursday last a meeting was held at Navan, in the county of Meath, for the purpose of esta- blishing a branch of the Reformation Society in that county. The meeting was attended by Lord Dunsany, General Taylor, several other leading individuals in the county, and a number of Clergymen. There were pre- sent, aiso, a large proportion of respectable ladies; and a considerable part of the crowd was composed of Roman Catholics. The first resolution was moved by Lord Dun- sany, and seconded by the Hon. Archdeacon Packen- ham: the second resolution was" Opposed- by a young gentleman of the name of Boylan, a Roman Catholic, but it was ultimately carried. Attempts were made to disturb the meeting, and when it broke up, the most savage uproar resounded through the streets. The Pro- testants were insulted wherever they presented them- selves. Some of them were knocked down, and the first carriage which started had its glass shattered to pieces by stones. Two or three gentlemen were assaulted with stones and mud; and Colonel Palliser had his hat knocked off by a stone. The police, which by some extraordinary oversight had been confined to their barracks, were now brought into the square, and after the Riot Act had been read, they acted as escorts to the carriages. One lady received a very severe blow from a stone, and but for the exertions of the gentlemen, five or six of whom were magistrates, and the ultimate assistance of the police, every carriage on the spot would have been shivered to pieces; and the houses themselves would have had to stand the assault of a ferocious mob. On Christmas- day, two persons, having pri- vately renounced the errors of the Roman Catholic Church, publicly received the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper in the parish Church of Saul ( Down), in token of their belief in the doctrines of the Established Church. One of them was a most intelligent man, of about 30 y ears of age, and married ; the other a middle- aged mar- ried woman of respectability.— Dublin Warder. Accounts from Van Dieman's Land mention that the natives are again at work, carrying slaughter and devastation wherever they go. A tribe had appeared at Quamby's Bluff, and had committed numerous murders. In the month of June, the numbers of Europeans and others speared to death amounted to six; amongst whom was an old man, whose body was pierced through and through, and his head beaten flat. Upwards of sixty of the savages had been killed or wounded by the military, and the soldiers were still in pursuit. SYDNEY REFINEMENTS.— The inhabitants of Sydney, in New South Wales, are very little behind those of London in the fashionable follies of the age.

The average produce of an acre of wheat in Van Diemen's Land is 20 bushels; and the expense of production, independent of quit- rent, is 4/. 10s.

BARCELONA, Dec. 20.— However strong may be the measures of rigour put in force by the Count d'Espagne, order is far from being entirely re- established in Catalonia. New Chiefs appear in the districts of Vich and Girona, and the band of Rasquellas has lately made its appearance almost under the walls of Girona. Lisbon papers to the 27th ult. have arrived. The subjoined article, which appears in them, is cal- culated to encourage the belief that the credit of the Lisbon Bank will be completely re- established by the measures now in progress:— LISBON, Dec. 23.— The General Assembly of the Bank of Lisbon, in its meeting of the 22d, determined that the funds of the Bank should be augmented by a sum answering to S, 200 shares, in the form specified ill six articles then agreed upon. The judicious public will now recognise the good faith and disinterestedness of the present shareholders, who do not shun sacrifices when they are to be made for the re- establishment of the credit of the Bank, in which the public welfare is so much in- terested. The Lisbon mail has brought letters from thence to the22d December, and from Oporto to the l! ith. Ship letters have also arrived four days later from tile capital i but they are all destitute of interest. The Christmas holidays are kept very strictly in Por- tugal, and they had suspended business. There had been several meetings of the directors of the Bank of Disbon, but no definitive arrangement had re- sulted from them.— The embarrossment attendant on the recent cessation of cash payments by that Establishment, was in no degree removed. Last night the suite of his Royal Highness the Infant Don Miguel visited Drury- lane Theatre.— Amongst them were the Count de Villa Real, Chamber- lain to his Royal Highness, and the Portuguese Ambas- sador, the Marquis tie Palmella, & c. The suite arrived at the theatre in two of his Majesty's carriages, and occu pied the Duke of Clarence's box. The Duke of Wellington left town on Mon- day afternoon for the Royal Lodge, Windsor Park. His Majesty lias granted permission to the Lieutenants of the Army, of fifteen years standing, to take the rank of Captains, at 5*. per diem, half- pay. Some expectation is entertained that his Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral will again visit this neighbourhood with Don Miguel, the Regent of Portugal, who intends, we hear, to embark for Lisbon from tliis Port.— Devonport Telegraph. The Lord High Admiral, on his recent visit to Portsmouth, instituted a medal for gunnery, in the Royal Naval College there. There is to be a grand dramatic fete at Bath on the 20th instant, in honour of his Majesty's accession to the throne. It is now stated that the Marquis of Anglesea will not go to Ireland. The state of his Lordships health is assigned as the cause. The unsettled state of the Administration is still a source of much public anxiety. It appears gene- rally understood, that an effort to strengthen the Whig portion of the Cabinet lias been unfavourably received in a high quarter, and that the Tories have in consequence become confident in their expectations of office.— Record. YEOMANRY CORPS.— Out of 170 Corps of Yeomanry which did exist in England, previous to the late circular from the Home Office, about 150 were dis- banded on the 24th instant. The remaining Corps are those stationed in the manufacturing and mining districts which having been called into active operation in quelling disturbances, within the last ten years, are of course not meant to be included in that circular. It is understood, that tlie saving to the country by the reduction of these Corps, will be at least 200,000'. annually. A circular from the Horse Guards, states that his Majesty has ordered that the Adjutants and Ser- jeant- Majors on constant pay, belonging to those corps of Yeomanry, whose engagements are about to cease, shall receive a gratuity of six months' pay on the discon- tinuance of their services. The Lord Chancellor has appointed Mr. Coleridge, barrister at law, a Commissioner of Bankrupts. Among the usual acts of benevolence at this season, is a striking one of Mr. T. Smith, of Kennet House, Newbury, who has distributed to the mast de- serving poor of Newbury and its environs, eighteen fine fat sheep, about one hundred weight of beef, with a pro- portionate quantity of potatoes; sixpence to every adult in tile poor- house, and three- pence to each child. Five letters are deposited in the archives of the Grenville family at Stowe, which establish, beyond the possibility of doubt, the real author of Junius. A venerable Stateman, nearly allied to the Duke of Buck- ingham, has requested that the discovery should not be published during his lifetime. It is, however, confi- dently asserted, that in all the controversies relating to these celebrated letters, the author of them has not been named. The Corporation of Liverpool are said to have solicited the erection of a Bishopric, for which they are in return to show their zeal by the erection of a Ca- thedral', the Bishopric to be composed of the diocese of the Isle of Man, and a fragment of that of Chester. The first masquerade this season was cele- brated on Thursday evening at the Argyll Rooms, under the direction of Charles Wright, the celebrated purveyor of champagne. The rooms were filled, and the charac- ters were in general well supported, affording mutual amusement and delight to the numerous company.

The East India trade is increasing rapidly at Liverpool: for one vessel that sailed two years ago, ten afe now despatched. The shipments of cotton twist to India are immense. On Christmas- day a most awful instance of the truth of the words " in the midst of life we are in death," occurred at Wennington, in Essex, in the person of the Rev. Martin Wiseman, who had been for many years curate of those parishes. The deceased, after hav- ing gone through the service of the day, and preached a sermon with more than his usual energy, bad gone to the altar for the purpose of administering the Sacrament. He had consecrated " the bread," and was proceeding to consecrate the wine," when, at the instant after he had pronounced the words, " Likewise after supper he took cup," and was in the act of putting out his hand to reach the chalice, lie fell down in front of the table, and, with- out uttering a syllable or a groan expired. To those who were witnesses of this sudden removal of their pastor, the lesson was indeed awful. The deceased was upwards of 70 years of age, and has left an only daughter to lament her loss. Letters received from Coventry state, that one of the bankinghouses there has discovered some very extensive frauds, committed by means of false entries, by two of the clerks, one of whom lias been apprehended. On Sunday morning, a large hay rick j stand- ing in a field near Locock, Wilts, belonging to Mr. R. Joyce, was discovered to be on fire, and is supposed to have been burning all night. By the exertions of the neighbours, and with the assistance of the Lacock fire- engine, a few tons of the hay were saved. Several large pieces of ignited coal having been found in the rick, no doubt can exist that the lire was the work of an incendiary. Poachers daily increase in numbers and daring. On Wednesday night a large party of poachers, to the number of between sixty and seventy, assembled in the grounds of the Marchioness of Hertford, at Tem- ple Newsam, Yorkshire, 10 of whom were armed With guns, the rest had bludgeons. The keepers and watchers did not venture to oppose any resistance to so formidable a body.— An affray took place on Friday night, in Lord Sefton's preserves, at Tarbock, near Eccleston, between his Lordship's keepers and a party of poachers. The latter carried guns, and fired upon the keepers, wound- ing 3 of them : one, it is stated, dangerously. The keepers were armed with sticks only. One of the poach- ers is in custody. A false story of a " Dreadful Murder," com- mitted at Barnet, was circulated, by way of a hoax, in all the daily papers on Friday. About three weeks since, the daughter of a farmer at Stour- paine, near Blandford ( who had been sent to lunatic asylum, from which she was discharged as perfectly recovered), left her father's house in the night, and being missed on the following morning, search was made for her, when her cloak and shoes were found by the side of the river Stour. The river was dragged, and other means resorted to in hopes of finding the body, but without succecss. On Thursday last, a dead body was discovered at the Mill- hatch, atSturminster Marshall, at least five miles distant from tho spot on which the cloak and shoes were previously found. On examination, the features were recognized as those of the farmer's daughter. An inquest was held on Friday last, before Charles Hannen, Esq. coroner, when a minute investi- gation of the circumstances took place, and the jury re- turned a verdict of Drowned. The parents of the un- fortunate girl were kept in a state of suspense for three weeks, the distressing nature of which may be more easily conceived than described. On Saturday night, the 16thinstant, the Pres- byterian meeting- house of Drumkeen, parish of Augha- boy, and county of Monaghan, was maliciously set on fire, and burned to the ground. A few days since died at Southsea, near Portsmouth, John Agnew, aired 104 years, n pensioner of the 33d regiment, and which 1 t had been since the It has been determined that a petition shall be presented to Parliament, early in the ensuing session, on the part of the Doctors of Medicine of the United Kingdom, Graduates of the Scotch and other Universities, with a view of engaging the legislature " to emancipate the profession from the shackles which have for centuries been so illegally and unjustly imposed upon it by the arrogated professional monopoly of the College of Physi- cians in London." By the erection of a line of telegraphs be- tween Holyhead and Liverpool, information is now transmitted from one place to the other, a distance of 1211 miles, in five minutes! It is proposed to extend the line to Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds. OXFORD CANAL.— The Oxford Canal Com- pany have determined Immediately to shorten their pre- sent circuitous line, thereby saving many miles of naviga- tion, and rendering their canal one of the most complete in the kingdom. By this improvement, the communica- tion between the North and London will be facilitated, and the expense of canal conveyance along all the present lines between Birmingham and London will be propor- tionably reduced.

SINGULAR PHENOMENON,— PETROPAWLOSK ( Kampstchatka ), Jag. 11.— On the 8th inst. a black and heavy cloud was observed in the morning near the extinct volcano of Arvalscha, from which a shower of sand fell, which continued till the afternoon. The shower of sand was succeeded by rain, mixed with very fine sand. On account of a very strong sulphureous smell, it was diffi- cult to remain above half an hour out of doors. On the Otli in the afternoon, and the 10th in the morning, several explosions were heard. On the !) th the atmosphere was darkened by clouds and vapour, but on the 11th the air was again quite clear. The oldest people do not remem- ber to have ever witnessed a similar phenomenon. r. NEW PATENT.— To W. J. Dowding, of Poul- shot, Wilts, for improvements in machinery for rollering wool from the carding- engine. The oil of the walnut is recommended to be applied every night to inflammatory pimples or blotches of the skin of the face. It is said to be not only perfectly safe, but very efficacious, removing the cutaneous obstruc- tions and rendering the skin soft and healthy. The ground kernel of the walnut is also highly recommended for wash- ing the hands and face in lieu of soap, or the almond powder. It is said, that it renders the skin healthy and soft, ? nil preserves it from inflammatory excitement, and from chilblains or the action of cold.— Gazette of Health. WIRE WORM.— A gentleman lately killed several pheasants near Hereford, and found the crop of each full of those destructive insects, wire- worms. They are the favourite food of pheasants ; those birds are there- fore beneficial to the farmer. It is said that the engineer at Mr. Warner's factory at Loughborough, Leicestershire, has made a discovery which doubles the power of the steam- engine, and that he has been offered 1000/. for the secret. The Liverpool and Manchester Railway is proceeding with much activity. A temporary railway lias been laid over the whole length of Chat Moss, which serves to bring on the material and to convey the work- people with great facility. A single man will convey by this means I! or 10 of his fellow- workmen at the rate of 6 miles an hour with ease. To PREVENT DROWNING,— The human body in an ordinary healthy state, with the chest full of air, is lighter than water. If this truth were generally known and well understood, it would lead to the saving of more lives, in cases of shipwreck and other accidents, than all the mechanical life- preservers which man's ingenuity will ever contrive. The human body, with the chest full of air, is so much lighter than water, that it naturally floats with a bulk of about half the head above water; it can no more sink than a log of fir would. That the person may live and breathe, then, it is only necessary tojexcrt volition, so as to render the face the part which remains above water From Dr. Arnott's Elements. The ground- tloor of the Church of Semé- nooskoyé contains a warm church, and above is a cool church ; in the one divine service is performed in winter, the other is only used during summer. The severity of the climate has rendered this arrangement very common in the churches throughout the Russian dominions. In digging the loam in Katesgrove brick manufactory lately, the labourers, when at about forty feet from the surface, discovered what had formerly been a bed of oysters, some of the shells of which were of an immense size. These curious phenomena have very fre- quently been discovered in Reading and the immediate neighbourhood, even at the depth of 80 or 100 feet— Bucks Gazette. A few days since Mr. Rushton, of Chatteris, lost a cart mare in consequence of her eating a quantity of thrashed wheat, which she got access to owing to a barn door being left open. in the steam artillery, which Mr. Perkins is constructing for the French Government, he guarantees the perfect safety of the generator, its indestructibility, tile ability to keep the steam up at any required tempe- rature for any length of time, and its great economy. The piece of ordnance is to throw sixty balls of four pounds each in a minute, with the correctness of the rifled musket, and to a proportionate distance. A musket is also attached to the same generator for throwing a stream of lead from the bastion of a fort, and is made so far portable as to be capable of being moved from one bastion to another. This musket is to throw from one hundred to one thousand bullets per minute as occasion may require, and that for any given length of time. POLAR EXPEDITION— The Literary Gazette gives the following interesting particulars of the late ex pedition of Captain Parry and his hardy and gallant companions:— It is curious to remark, that during all their progress northward, the wind was in the north, nearly right against them ; and that when they turned, to shape their way back again to the south, the ill- tempered and oppos- ing wind chopped round anil still blew in their teeth ! Of course there could be no travelling in these regions without some communications with their denizens, the bears. Two of these natives were slain ; and both— oh want of gallantry in British sailors!— were females. The scenes must have been very curious and picturesque. At night- fall, every night, the sledge- boat was converted into a tent; three light bamboo spars stuck up, fore mid- ship, and aft, with the oars crossing them aloft, made the support and ioof of this simple and primitive- looking shelter. The canvass sail thrown over, and fastened down to the sides, with loose parts for egress and regress, completed the nocturnal domicile. One sentinel paraded the cold outside, to watch for any breaking or separation of the ice, or for other moving accident by flood or field. All being snug one night, the gasping watch suddenly looked in and gave the alarm of a huge bear approaching: the exquisite sense of smell possessed by these animals had brought it probably from a great distance, in quest of prey. The order was quickly given to lie close, and be silent; for the least noise is often sufficient to alarm and scare off the animal, and our countrymen were, for various reasons, very anxious that their present visitor should meet with a proper reception. The monster, coming to the boat, raised herself on her hind legs, so as to place her fore paws over the gunwale, and take a peep at what was going on inside. At this moment the trig- gers of two fowling pieces were pulled— one missed fire, but the other went off, and was so well directed, that the ball went through the creature's heart. She fell back- ward, and had hardly expired, before all hands were at work, in a style of which we can hardly form a concep- tion at home. The consequences were, that the lady's dress was off her back, and her entrails, such as heart, liver, & c, ( which are excellent eating), in the pot in five minutes. The carcass, when stripped, is about the size and colour of that of a horse; and, what was of the utmost consequence under the circumstances in which our poor fellows were placed, the animal supplied more than fuel enough for its own cooking. With the skin is flayed off, when in good condition, a lining of fat of th; breadth of a hand; this was immediately cut into pieces, and thrown into a vessel with bits of rope or junk, which were lighted, and a famous fire soon made for culinary purposes. The vessel, however, also deserves a notice. It consisted of a sheet of the copper ( of which a few spare sheets were carried to mend any hole that might be made in the bottom of the boat, and " expel the winter's flaw"), beat up round the edges, so as to form a shallow receptacle for the bear's grease and rope's ends; and over the flame of these, the bear's body was converted into a variety of stews, frys, boils, & c. which, if not equal to Ude's recipes, were, we will be bound to say, relished with a much better appetite than usually awaits the fricasees and fritters of that eminent artiste. How acceptable such repast must have been to our men, may be conjectured, when it is remembered that their allow- ance of pemmacan and biscuit was little more than suffi- cient to sustain nature, and certainly not sufficient to enable them to undergo the severe fatigues to which they were constantly exposed. Indeed so fierce and craving was their hunger, we hare heard, that on the killing of one of the bears, a considerable quantity of the flesh was devoured raw during the night of its capture. What re- mained was put in bags, and served out as occasion re- quired ; but, altogether, it will be seen that a visit from a bear was one of the most welcome events which could happen to the expedition. The next animal of importance in these icy domains is the seal, which also yields a valuable oil, where it is impossible for travellers to take any quantity of necessa- ries in great bulk. Of these creatures, however, only two were caught, and eaten as delicacies. They are cunning in their habits; and it required more time to watch for them than could be spared. There were immense numbers of sea- fowl seen ; but few of them shot for the kitchen. Indeed, the expedition was one of such incessant labour and toil, that there was little opportunity for doing any thing else but dragging the boat. & c. on, and persevering in the principal object of the undertaking. The water was full of marine insects and shrimps, & c. whether in the open spaces of the sea, or in the pools formed on the surface of the ice. A limited allowance of spirits was given to the severity of the temperature, the rum, though conveyed in essence, lost its flavour, and could hardly be called a spirituous liquor,— Literary Gazette. The effect of the late rains will it is feared, be felt and severely too, at harvest, on all lands which are not of stout quality in themselves, or where the Wheat plant is not well suported by manure. The meeting of the three choirs of Hereford, Gloucester, and Worcester, will be held, the ensuing season, at Hereford, on the 2d, 3d, and 4th days of September. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on Satur- day, a person named Marshall was committed to Norwich gaol for two months, for practising as an Attorney of the Court without being duly qualified ; and two professional gentlemen, named Lawter and Burton, residing at Nor- wich, were ordered to be struck off the files of the Court, for permitting Marshall to practise in their names. Two examinations into the circumstances at- tending the late murder of Ann Crotchley at Oxford, took place last week; the result was, that Williams, who had been committed to prison on suspicion, was admitted to bail, to answer any charge that might be brought against him on the subject. His own bail for 500/. and that of two sureties in 2o0/. each, were taken. We have just seen the account of a murder committed on Sarah Green, in the year 1748. The girl was killed in the same way as Ann Crotchley was. The murder took place in Newington churchyard, and an innocent person was tried, condemned, and executed for the crime. The real murderers were discovered by the confession, of an accomplice about two years afterwards, and upon the clearest evidence were both found guilty and hanged. The innocent sufferer had been seen with her in the evening of the murder, at the place where she received the hurt, and the evidence against him was chiefly circumstantial.— Oxford Herald The circumstantial evidence in the case of the atrocious murder of the young man named Arms- worth at Fareham, fixes the crime most strongly on Moses Shepherd, who has been committed, on the coro- ner's warrant, to take his trial at the next Winchester assizes. It appears that at the inquest, when Shepherd was taken into the room where the body was laid, lie was fearfully agitated, but said lie knew nothing of the mur- der ; the Coroner told him, if that was the fact, he could have no objection to follow his example, by laying his hand on the body and saying, " I am innocent of this murder this Shepherd positively refused to do, and shrunk from the body, on being requested by the Fore- man of the Jury to touch it. Shepherd was then removed to another room, in which was a bed, on which he im- mediately threw himself, and nearly fainted away. PERSECUTION of the JEWS— A public meet- ing of Jews and Christians was held last night, at the King's Head Tavern, Poultry, to take into consideration the oppressions inflicted on the Jews in Russia, by the Ukase recently issued by the Emperor Nicholas, and also the means by which the present condition of that people might be ameliorated; — Pellatt, Esq. in the Chair. Mr. J. A. Brown, Secretary to the Philo- Judæan Society, moved the first resolution, which stated, that the persecutions to which the Jews were subjected by the Russian Ukase, were as unjust towards that ill- fated people as they were repugnant to the spirit of genuine Christianity, which forbade its professors to persecute or proscribe any class of their fellow creatures. The victims of Russian persecution, whose distresses they were met to sympathise, had claims to the attention and regard of every Christian : more especially when it was considered that during the long period of 11100 years, since they had been cast from the patrimony of their fore- fathers, they had been made to taste of oppression nnd cruelty in their bitterest forms. Whatever were their iniquities, nnd whatever calamities it had pleased Heaven to visit upon their race, formed no excuse for the persecution to which the Governments of Europe had subjected them. At the present time, although they were scattered and dis- persed, and " were a bye word and a reproach among the nations," the promises which the Almighty held out to them were, lie conceived, in the course of fulfilment. He who believed the curses which Moses had bestowed on them in the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, was bound also to believe the promises of their Father— that lie would bring them to the land which their fathers possessed. He ( Mr. Brown) denied that the judgments which the nations pronounced on them were at all pro- portioned to the kind or degree of guilt which they had incurred; and hence it was his undoubted belief, that all who had spilled the blood of the Jews, were amenable to that justice which was extended towards them in the Scriptures. A period was approaching, however distant it might seem to be, when God would lift up the light of his countenance, and make the house of Judah glad with the tokens of his presence. After noticing the harshness with which Jews were treated in Austria, with regard to Russia, he asked the Meeting to look at the Ukase, as a prelude to which he might mention that the Emperor had nearly eighteen months ago, issued a decree directing the Jews to addict themselves to agriculture, and to substan- tial merchandising. The effect of this arbitrary regula- tion was, that nearly 10,000 Jews who obtained their living in the Polish provinces as innkeepers, hawkers, & c. were obliged to retire from that country at a short summons, aud to travel to Germany in the most dis- tressed condition. The Ukase, on the other hand, en- joined the Jews, who might be domiciled in Russia, to quit the country at 24 hours' notice, however impossible that brief space might be to arrange their public or pri- vate affairs. Was that compulsory exile to depend on the misconduct of the Jews? No; it was to fall on the innocent as well as on the guilty— to be carried into effect solely at the Imperial will and pleasure. ( Hear, hear.) Again, the Ukase banished the Jewish teachers of reli- gion. If the word of God was the basis of the Jewish religion, the banishment of the rabbis, which deprived the rising generation of the benefit of that religion, must be branded as persecution of the vilest character. ( Hear, hear.) As to Prussia, he allowed that she had shown greater liberality towards that deeply injured race; but the fact could not be concealed, that when the Jews wished to set up synagogues, and to appoint rabbis to preside over them, a royal regulation was promulgated, which locked up a reformed synagogue in Berlin. ( Hear.) That was an act of cruel and wanton oppression, and as such it must be viewed by every one who thought no act of despo- tic authority should prevent a fellow creature from wor- shipping his God according to his conscience. ( Applause.) Look at other parts of the Continent. The King of Bavaria had directed the Jews to dismiss their Rabbis, and to provide themselves with teachers instructed at the University. Synagogues had been locked up, and sealed with the Government seal, because that regulation had not been conformed to. On the day of atonement, the Government was supplicated to allow a synagogue to be opened for the performance of the ceremonial rites, but it refused to accede to that innocent request. The Pope, too, had lent his holy authority to the general scheme of persecution. He ordained that the Jews should not have a Christian servant, and that they should not be allowed to light their fires or candles on Sabbath days. Tiiey were further enjoined to reside in a certain district of the city, allotted to them by his Holiness, and to attend one day every year at a temple to hear a learned discourse from a friar. ( Hear, hear.) The same principles ac- tuated the petty principalities in Germany. The Elector of Hesse Dramstadt had passed an edict declaring that no Jew should circumcise his child until he was of age, when he would be able to judge for himself, and that the worship on Saturday was to be transferred to Sunday. The same liberal and merciful potentate had sub- sequently issued an edict, more abominable than any that had preceded it, which limited the number of mar- riages among the Jews to fifteen in ( he course of the year. ( Hear, hear.) At the present moment he ( Mr. Brown) had heard that there were no less than 60 candidates for the nuptial rite; and he need not add, that the preference was more likely to be given to those who had wealth to bestow, than to the poor and the humble. ( Hear, hear.) The speaker then proceeded to detail other instances of oppression perpetrated by other powers in the German Empire. In the free city of Lubeck, he said no Christian was allowed to serve a Jew, five or six years ago; and the prohibition having afterwards been extended to the supplying them with provisions, the wretched remnant of Judah were literally starved out of the place. ( Hear.) Such examples of persecution and barbarity, in the pre- sent enlightened age, reminded him ( Mr. Brown) of days to which he shuddered to carry back his mind; and these examples would continue, unless they were protested against, in the strongest language, by every Jew and Christian who abhorred persecution in his heart. ( Hear, hear.) He must not omit to mentiou Turkey among the host of oppressors. At Damascus, twenty- four opulent Jews had been suddenly dragged from their homes, and shut up in a prison, because the Bey insisted on their giving him 12,000 purses, that is upwards of 120,000/. sterling. ( Hear.) At Jerusalem, which their forefathers had trod, and to which they still looked forward with longing, lingering eyes, the presence of the Jews was proscribed; and if they went thither to mourn over its desolation, or to recal visions of former times, they were liable to be cut down by the Turkish sabre, or im- mured in a loathsome dungeon. F> en in this great city, the Jews had not been exempt from persecution. In the 13th century upwards of 700 Jews were plundered and put to death by the Barons who rebelled against Henry III., in order to keep the citizens of London in their interest, and to gratify them with the slaughter. ( Hear, hear.) At another period the Jews were accused of clipping the coin of the kingdom ; and for this alleged crime 280 Jews were executed in London at one time, and upwards of 400 in other parts of the country. Even in these days of boasted liberality a cruel and oppressive statute was still enforced against the Jews, by the Corpo- ration of London. The Speaker alluded , to the case of Mr. Saul, which was lately tried before the Mayoral Court, and who, although his father had renounced the Jewish faith, and been admitted within the pale of the national Church, was not allowed to take up his freedom in the City, in consequence of the existing statute. ( Hear.) Such tilings, continued Mr. Brown, pass quietly and slyly, and it is only when they are brought into opera- tion, that their injurious effects are discovered. These and other regulations were undoubted evidences of a grasping and avaricious spirit, and were unworthy of a great city, which professed the sacred doctrines of liberty of conscience ar. d equality of rights ar. d privileges. ( Hear, hear.) The learned gentleman concluded by expressing his conviction, that if their cause met with the zealous advocacy of Englishmen, a brighter day would yet dawn on the degraded, oppresed, and insulted House of Judah. Dr. Biber seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. Several other resolutions were moved and agreed to; thanks were voted to the Chairman ; and the meeting lispcrsed. THE NEW YEAR.— The ushering in of the new year's tide, with rejoicings, presents, and good wishes, was a custom observed, during the llitli century, with great regularity and parade, and was as cordially cele- brated in the court of the prince as in the cottage of the peasant. New year's gifts ( says Dr. Drake) were given and received, with the mutual expression of good wishes, and particularly that of a happy new year. The compli- ment was sometimes paid at each others doors in the form of a song; but more generally, especially in the North of England and Scotland, the house was entered very early in the morning, by some young men and maidens selected for the purpose, who presented a spiced bowl, and hailed you with the gratulations of the season. The Printers usually employed by the Fo- reign Office, in Downing- street, were at Work night and day last week in printing documents connccted with the dispute between the Allied Powers and the Porte. These papers arc said to be extremely voluminous, and that the circulation of them is to be Confined to his Majesty's Ministers. The whole work is done in rooms over the Foreign Office, solely appropriated to confidential and secret matters. s The number of Matriculations in the Univer- sity of Oxford, in last Term, was 121. Notice has been given of an intended appli- cation to Parliament during the ensuing session, for a pneumatic railway from Brighton to Shoreham, a dis- tance of six miles, which, when completed, will afford a satisfactory experiment of the merits of the invention. STEAM CARRIAGES.—( From Blackwood's Magazine.)— If the steam carriage can be made general, its effects will be more important than even those of the steam- boat, as being applicable to a greater variety of purposes, more easy of employment, and involving less expense. The result on travelling would be probably ten passengers on the road for one ; an obvious benefit to the trusts, to the innkeepers and the towns ; the in- creased cheapness and facility of conveying every kind of produce, domestic, commercial, and agricultural. We should have flocks and herds carried up to our markets without the present delay, expense, and exhaustion of the animals. Corn, coals, all the necessaries and com- forts of cities, would be brought with rapidity and ease by steam waggons, and exchanged with the country for the merchandize that now must go by the slow and ex- pensive passage of canals and the coast! The intercourse from corner to corner of England would probably be increased in all its details tenfold or fiftyfold, witliin a few years. The horse- breeders would possibly feel the invention, in the partial decay of their trade for horses for the road. But the decay on the whole might be but trifling ; with the general intercourse of the island, and the consequent general cheapness of living, men would have more money to lay out on luxuries, and a fine horse will be a luxury to the end of time. Thousands would keep horses for one that keeps them now. The consumption of provender for these animals might fall off for a little while ; but if the farmer sowed less oats, he would have but the more room to sow wheat; the profits would be the same, and the public would be possessed of its food at a cheaper rate. Besides, in the operations of agriculture, the horse is at present a chief source of expense— the saving of that expense would be a fortune to the farmer. The steam- horse, or plough, would besides be a better servant; it would not be tired, but work as well by night as by day, and perhaps with the usual superiority of mechanism over animal power. It would thus do twice, or ten times, the work, in a brief period, when it was of the utmost importance, from the state of the weather, that time should be made the most of. It would do it better and more regularly. The steam- horse would not be sick, it would not lose a shoe, nor run lame, nor require food through the winter. Every operation of the farm, from the first turning up of the ground to the harvest- home, might be intrusted to steam m one shape or other of car- riage, and this exemplary drudge would work wonders in all. BOW- STREET.— The sympathy of the Office was last night powerfully excited in consequence of a fine young man, 19 years of age, the relative of a popular Baronet, and the son of a gentleman who has been re- duced in life, being charged with stealing two shirts from his lodging house. Sir R. Birnie, on hearing of his father's melancholy history, expressed great regret at the situation be was placed in, should the charge be substantiated against him, of being compelled to commit him for felony. At the very moment that he had been asking some questions relative to his family, three half- pay officers entered the office to have their affidavits signed, who, on hearing the circumstance, offered to pay the money he got for the shirts, if the prosecutrix would withdraw the charge. This she said she would willingly do, to which the worthy Magistrate consented, after a severe repri- mand to the prisoner on the impropriety of his conduct. The gentlemen who interfered on his behalf paid the money, and also contributed a few shillings to support him until he could hear from his father, who is in Northamptonshire. No recruit for the Infantry of the Line is to be received under five feet seven inches, until further orders. Boot- legs are imported from France so cheap, that after paying 25 per cent. duty, and all charges of freight and insurance, they can be sold from 15 to 20 per cent, cheaper here than London- manufactured boot- legs. To INCREASE THE ODOUR OF ROSES.— A German horticultural writer recommends a large onion to be planted by the side of the rose tree, in such a manner that it shall touch the foot of the latter. The roses which will be produced will have an odour much stronger and more agreeable than such as have not been thus treated ; and the water distilled from these roses is superior to that prepared by means of ordinary rose- leaves. BODY SNATCHERS.— The town of Great Yar- mouth, Norfolk, has been in a most extraordinary state of excitation, from the discovery of the exhumation of several bodies from the church- yard of that parish by a gang of resurrection men. It is supposed that there have been not less than 20 bodies lately removed, as well as many others from the neighbouring church- yards. Two of the resurrection men are in custody, and the officers are in search after a third, who was the principal in this traffic, so painful to surviving relatives. On Wednesday evening a basket, with its contents neatly covered with a napkin, was left at the house of a gentleman in Park- street, Bristol, by a well, dressed young man ; the servant took it into the parlour, and, to the astonishment of the family, it contained a sleeping infant, about three days old.— The child was taken to St. Peter's Hospital, but as yet its unfeeling pa- rents have not been discovered. CORN- EXCHANGE, Jan. 2.— Our supplies ( 5,280 quarters of Wheat, 5,400 of Barley, 6,850 of Oats, and 7,500 sacks of Flour) continuing to arrive in great abundance, and the demand being unusually limited this morning, our prices are quite nominal, and all descrip- tions of grain must be quoted the same as on Monday. In severe Colds, Rheumatism, & c. from which numbers suffer so severely, particularly during the Winter Months, a more salutary Remedy cannot be resorted to, or one that has effected more extraordinary Cures, than the Genuine Bateman's Pectoral Drops, which may be had of the most respectable Medicine Venders either in Town or Country.

[ 25 AND GENERAL ADVERTISER OF WILTS, HANTS, DORSET, AND SOMERSET Friday's Post. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, Jan. 1. THE following intelligence is extracted from the Augsburgh Gazette: " VIENNA. Dec. 23.— We have no direct intelligence from Constantinople. " A French Courier arrived yesterday from Parts, charged with despatches for Constantinople, directed to Corfu, where he is expected to find the Count Guille- Dee. 24.— News has just arrived by a Courier from Bucharest that the Russian Ambassador quitted Constan- tinople the 4th of December, and iVas none to Odessa. The French and English Ambassadors followed J) i » ex. ample on thellth ; the former had embarked for Toulon, and the latter for Corfu." - BUCHAREST, Dec. 7.— The report was spread at Con- stantinople that the French Admiral, De Rigny, had burnt some Greek vessels, and that Lord Cochrane had quitted the station off Scio. Although this news had not arrived officially, cither to the Porte or to the Ambassadors, it was believed, because Count Guilleminot had written to the French Admiral that he disapproved the undertaking of Lord Cochrane at Scio I that the Porte had complained bitterly of it, and that this circumstance had obstructed every negotiation for the pacification of Greece. It ts possible that the French Admiral considered the communication as an evidence that the Porte Was to fedclve that kind ot reparation for all the losses it lately had experienced. . LISBON, Dec. 15.— The Princess Regent has been ill some days: her Royal Highness was bled yesterday. bill this dav she is hotter, and the physicians sdettt to think that her illness will be of short duration. The Chambers will not meet definitively until the 2d of January, the period prescribed by the Charter. The last despatches from London assert that the Infant Don Miguel will not be here until the middle of January at the soonest. It has been proved by the Rank books that its property exceeds the debts by 2a millions of francs, and it appears that its reverses proceeded only from having taken too many of the public Government securities, winch, it could not immediately turn into money, to meet it*; notes, • without the loss of very considerable sums. MADRID, Dec. 20.— We are assured that the Secret State Junta created for the purpose of examining the papers found in the Freemasons' lodges, and to draw up a list of the individuals who composed these lodges, has terminated its labours, and is about to be dissolved. Some people think that the dissolution is in consequence of certain recollections airongthemembeis. manyof whom have alreadv received orders to quit Madrid. The Estafette, which left this yesterday evening, was waylaid near the hotel of the Holy Ghost last night by robbers— 1. reals were taken from the Courier, who, having received a poniard stab in the throat, was incapa- ble of continuing his journey. The Courier who arrived to- dav from Seville and Cadiz was also attacked near Madrilegos, by brigands, who robbed him, without touching the despatches. „ , . . . SARAGOSSA, Dec. 23.— Whilst Upper Catalonia is in every sense harassed by bands of malefactors, who lay the country waste, Lower Catalonia is not more tranquil. Very serious events which have taken place in the neigh- bourhood of Oldecona and in the district of Tortosa, shew but too clearly how incomplete is that general pa- cification which has been so loudly vaunted. New bands, formed out of the remains of those disarmed by General Longa, on the right bank of the Ebro, arise upon every side, and, no doubt, will not fail speedily to be swelled bv all those unfortunates whom winter has deprived of labour, and who will be attracted by the allurement of a pay of forty and even fifty nous, which the rebels at present give their soldiers, instead of thirty sous, which they gave during the first insurrection. Their foiccs have alreadv become so imposing, that the troops sent from Tortosa to fight them, have deemed it prudent before commencing operations, to wait for rein- forcements, which have been asked for from the Court d'Espagne, the General- in- Chief of the army of Catalo- nia, and Captain- General of the Principality. London, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4. DEPARTURE OF THE ALLIED AMBASSADORS FROM CONSTANTINOPLE. Despatches were on Wednesday night re- ceived at the Foreign Office, communicating the im- portant information of the departure of the Allied Am- bassadors from Constantinople, on the llth ult. Mr. Stratford Canning proceeded, in the first instance, to Smyrna, from whence he was to go to Corfu. M. de Ribeaupierre had gone to Odessa. The precise destina- tion of General Guilleminot is not known i it is pro- bably, however, the same as Mr. Stratford Canning. No allusion is made in Mr. Stratford Can- ning's dispatches to the report of the burning of the Greek fleet, which is said in the French papers to have been current at Constantinople. It does not appear that the departure of tho Allied Ambassadors was preceded by any act of violence on the part of the Porte towards the subjects of the Allied Powers. Up to the latest time of which we have intelligence, vessels were allowed to depart ; so that if the Turks intend to take any vessels, their intention can only have effect upon those who have not chosen to come away. . It is said that intelligence has been received from Vienna, that Persia is to pay Russia a million and a half indemnity for the last war. No intelligence has been received, by Go- vernment, either from Constantinople, Vienna, or Paris, of the destruction of the Greek fleet at Scio. The Allgemeine Zeitung of Dec. 28th, con- tains an article headed Warsaw, Dec. 16th, mentioning that on the 14th there was a grand review of the whole garrison by the Czarowitch. Should war break out, a wish was avowed, that a part of the Polish army may take the field. The Emperor, it was reported. Intended shortly to leave St. Petersburgh to join the army, and the Generals who were to accompany his Majesty are named. ODESSA, Dec. 10.— We learn from St. Peters- burgh, that the Emperor has directed Count Nesselrode to declare to Foreign Courts, by a circular note, how his Majesty considered the events at Navarin, and that he must still more than ever insist on the execution of the Convention of the ( ith of July, 1827. His Majesty, it is said, repeats In this note, that, faithful to his principles, he has no view « of aggrandisement, hut is resolved to employ all the means in his power for the strict execution of that Convention, for the maintenance of the general peace. The Anglo- Mexican Mining Company held their third annual meeting on Wednesday, at the City of London Tavern. The meeting was very numerously and respectably attended: among those present, were Mr. Ward, M. P., and Alderman Thompson, M. P. Mr. D. Barclay took the chair, and having briefly opened the business of the day, added, that the report he should have to read would fully convey to the meeting informa- tion of a very gratifying character : it contained a history of their agents' proceedings up to the beginning of Octo- ber. He then read a detailed report, which made good what he had stated, and shewed, that though great sacri- fices had, in the first instance, been made, the prospects of the Company had improved, and were likely to im- prove.— The report was then received, confirmed, and ordered to be printed and distributed amongst the pro- prietors. Letters have been received from the city of Mexico of the 10th of November, and from Vera Cruz of the 15th. Trade was very bad in Mexico. There were in fact lio buyers of goods, in consequence of the alarm occasioned by the plans now projecting for the ex- pulsion of the old Spaniards. The general opinion is that the popular party will finally prevail, and that the Spaniards will be driven out of the country. If this should take place, there will be few people found to attach any value to the good faith of the Mexicans. The proceeding would be contrary to the Constitution, and would be both unjust and impolitic. The old Spaniards are the principal merchants of Mexico; and there can be no doubt that they arc by far more regular and punctual in their transactions than the native Mexicans. The ex- cuse for the harsh measures against the Spaniards now in agitation is, that they wish again to bring the country under the dominion of Spain. ELVAS, Dec. 19.— The communications we have with Spain are very irregular; that country is, in most parts, infested with banditti, principally consisting of the dispersed rebels. Yesterday there was a grand Te Deum at Badajos, in consequence of peace in Catalonia. The lower orders of Spaniards continue to come into this kingdom; but they are immediately secured and sent to prison. A party were this day sent to Lisbon under an escort. The desserters are in general of the vilest character, and chiefly fly to evade justice. RUSSIA.— In 1822, the population of the whole Russian Empire was estimated 54.} millions. Of this nuinbei about 47,300,00( 1 were considered to belong to her territories in Europe, including Finland and Po- land, giving less than 2J persons to a square mile of sur- face. Little more than seven millions were, therefore, scattered over the enormous extent of country, stretching from the Dun and the Wolga, to the borders of China, — the shores of Kamschatka, and the sea of Ockhotzh,— a trirct comprehending more than one- third of the whole continental portion of our globe. The greatest portion of her population ( above 40 mil- lions) belongs to the Greek Church, tile religion of the state, and paramount to all other sects. Theie are also about six millions of Catholics and United Greeks j two millions and a half of Lutherans ; above three millions of Mahometans ; and the remaining portion of the popula- tion comprises various sects, including Schamans or Heathens, and the worshipers of the Grand Lama. The river Araxes, which empties itself into the Caspian Sea, is to be the future boundary between Russia and Persia. Russia has also retained a little of Persia to the South of the Araxes. By the late war and treaty, Russia has got into the vicinity of Teheran, the principal city to the northward of Ispahan, the capital, from which it is not distant mute tliau about sou miles. DON MIGUEL.— His Royal Highness dirted with His Majesty, on Tuesday, at the Royal Lodge, Windsor Park. The party invited to meet the Prince Consisted of nearly the same individuals who dined at the Lodge the preceding day, with the addition of the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, and Lord Beresford. His Royal Highness breakfasted at the Royal Lodge on Wed- nesday morning, and afterwards proceeded in the King's pony- chaise, attended by Earl Mountcharles and Count de Villa Real, to Sandpit Gate, to See the Cameleopard and other rare animals which are kept there. From Sand- pit Gate, the Prince proceeded to Windsor Castle, where Mr. Wyattville, the architect, antl the Clerk of the Works, received His Royal Highness, whom they conducted over the different parts of that extensive pile of building. The Prince was accompanied by ft number of the visitors flfom the Royal Lodge. The Prince went to St. George's Cha- pel, where the Dean and Chapter conducted His Royal Highness through the Chapel. His Royal Highness, at< tended by Earl Mountcharles end Count Villa Real, left the Castle, and came to town to the residence of Earl Dudley, in Arlington- street, where the Prince arrived at a quarter past four o'clock The Duke and Duchess of Clarence gave a grand entertainment to His Royal High- ness, at their residence in tlie Admiralty. Among the company present to meet His Royal Highness, were— Prince Leopold, the Lord Chancellor and Lady Lynd- hurst, Prince and Princess Esterhazy, Prince and Prin- cess Lieven, Marquis and Marchioness Palmella, the Duke of Devonshire, & c. & c. On Tuesday a line stag was turned out before Prince Miguel and a field composed of an immense num- ber of noblemen and gentlemen. Don Miguel, Prince Esterhazy, and the Duke of Wellington took the lead. Yesterday Don Mignel, accompanied by Earl Mountcharles, Count Villa Real, the Marquis de Palmella, and several of his Royal Highness's suite, left town in two of his Majesty's carriages for Woolwich, where his Royal Highness reviewed the Horse Artillery, and then proceeded over the arsenals, dock- yard, & c. His Royal Highness Don Miguel ( pronouueed by the Portuguese and the English at Lisbon Megale) was born at Queluz, a Royal Palace about eight miles from Lisbon, on the 2Gth of October 1802, so that he is now in his 2i) th year. His only brother, the Emperor of Brazil, who was 2!) years of age on the 12th of October last, has a family of four children— the eldest, the future Queen of Portugal, is between eight and nine years of age ; and the youngest, a boy. and his only son, was bom on the 2d of December 11125. The Infernal bomb, Captain Gilbert, and the Etna bomb. Captain Hoste, are both ready for sea, having received their shells, & c. on board. His Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral proceeds to Woolwich this day to inspect the equipment of both those vessels, after which they sail directly to Portsmouth. It is confidently reported that Lord Holland will come into the Cabinet immediately : the office as- signed to the Noble Lord is that of Foreign Secretary. The Timet paper asserts that the accession of Lord Holland to the Ministry is probaple. On Wednesday the Marquis Wellesley had an interview with Lord Viscount Goderich, of two hours, at his Lordship's house in Downing- street. DUBLIN, DEC. 30.— A quarrel of a very serious nature has broken out here between the 2d Dragoon Guards and tlie 5th Regiment of Infantry, which has for these few last days kept a very populous part of this city in a state of extraordinary commotion and alarm. The dispute originated thus:— On Tuesday night Joseph Finnerty, a soldier of the Guards, attempted to get out of the barracks, in Barrack- street, after hours, and was re- monstrated with by a sentinel of the 5th Foot, then on guard at the barrack- gate. Finnerty was intoxicated, and endeavoured to get out by force: to prevent this, the sentinel placed his firelock in front, towards the drunken man, telling him he should not stir. The latter, how- ever, persisted ; and • ither not aware that the bayonet was on the firelock, or careless, from intoxication, of the event, rushed forward, when the bayonet penetrated his heart, and he fell instantly dead. An inquest was held, and a verdict of accidental death was returned. Not so easily were the companions of the deceased to be satis- fied; and accordingly, on Wednesday and Thursday, whenever they met any of the oth in the streets, away from the barracks, they attacked and beat them. On Thursday a large party of each regiment met on the quay, near the barracks, and a general engagement be- tween them took place, they drawing their swords and bayonets. In the skirmish which ensued, and which lasted upwards of half an hour, to the danger and terror of the whole street and passengers, several severe wounds were inflicted, and it was with great difficulty a large military party from the adjacent barracks could put an end to this deadly combat. More than twenty indi- viduals had been sent to the hospital wounded, but with the exception of 3 or 4, not dangerously. Throughout the entire of Friday, no soldiers of cither of these regi- ments were allowed out of barracks, as the most terrible consequences were anticipated, should they again meet in conflict. The commander of the forces has, however, taken the wisest precaution to prevent any recurrence, by removing the 5th Foot out of this garrison. They marched yesterday for the south of Ireland. John Troy. John Mahony, and Thomas Rut- ledge, have been convicted of being concerned in the riots which took place in Dublin, on the 14th of Decem- ber, in consequence of the acquittal of Mr. Maguire. Troy was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment, and the two others to four months each. During the late fire at York- House, a child named Langford, one month old, was left in bed while the mother went to see the fire; the husband coming home in the absence of his wife, and not knowing that the child was in the bed, folded it up; and, on the re- turn of the mother, the child was found suffocated. WEYMOUTH. Jan. 2.— Mr. W. Thompson, son of the late John Thompson, Esq., of Somerset and Corn- wall, the first inventor of tile steam artillery so highly approved of by Government, as well as the most scientific gentlemen of Bristol, has it, we understand, in contem- plation to establish a small steam- packet between this port and the island of Portland, which will go and return several times each day. When the difficulties of access! to that island are considered, the advantages that will accrue to the public from the adoption of Mr. Thompson's design, are too obvious to require further comment. This gentleman's abilities are well known to several members of the late Administration, from the plan he submitted to Lord Mulgrave, through the medium of the Right lion. George Rose. Mr. Thompson, who lias frequented this watering place for thirty years, has consulted several per- sons of property on this subject, who unanimously agree, that the proposed plan is tar superior to any other con- veyance to Portland for passengers and heavy articles. TAUNTON, Jan. 1.— The wheat crops on the low lands of this county, we hear, are experiencing much injury, from the continued inundations. The whole of the country, for many miles round Langport, presents one unbroken lake; the inhabitants of that town have, as usual during such weather, suffered considerably from the incursions of the flood. The quantity of rain fallen lately has been unusually great; yesterday, from 7 in the morning until 4 o'clock p. m. the rain descended in torrents, accompanied by violent squalls of wind. No snow has yet descended in this part of the country during the winter, except a slight fall a week ago, but which did not fast more than half an hour; and frost has been an equally coy visiter. PLUM- PUDDING.— A French Monarch ( Henry Quatre), wishing to regale the English Ambassador on Christmas- day with a plum- pudding, procured an excel- ent recipe for making one in the English manner, which he gave to his cook, with strict injunctions that it should be prepared with due attentions to all the particulars. The weight of the ingredients, the size of the copper, the quantity of water, the duration of time, every thing was attended to except one trifle— the King forgot the cloth ! and the pudding was served up like so much soup, in Immense tureens, to the surprise of the Ambassador, who was however too well- bred to express his astonish- ment. SPORTING MEMORANDUM.— In 1738, at the races at Maiden, Essex, three horses ( and no more than three) started for a plate, and they were all three, dis- tanced the first heat, according to the common ruffe of racing, without any quibble or equivocation. The first ran on the wrong side of the post, the second wanted weight, and the third fell and broke a leg! His late Majesty having asked Mr. Pitt, if lie had never thought of marriage; " I have never yet had time. Sire," Was the characteristic and laconic reply of the minister. An extraordinary instance of fecundity has occurred at Brianstspiddle, Dorset, in the dairy of Mr. Win. Runyard, one of whose cows produced on Christ- mas day last two heifer calves, and in the course of the following night another— all of them are alive and pro- mising. The Chamber of Commerce at Bristol has taken up the subject of Stamp Duties, and is in commu- nication with the principal towns in the kingdom, in order to the obtaining of a simultaneous application to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for a release froih this inconvenient tax, so little productive to the revenue. The much- talked- of Turtle Case, Stevens v. Pearce, tried at the last Bristol Assize, and a verdict given for the plaintiff, has again become the subject of discussion, Owing to an error in the pleadings, which was noticed by Mr. Sergeant Wilde at the trial, the ver- dict hail been set aside, and a rule Nisi granted to shew cause why a new trial should not be had. A Chancery Suit of two Centuries.— In the Court of Chancery last week, the case of the Attorney- General v. the Corporation of Warwick, which was com- menced in 1615, was resumed. The litigated matter in this suit was, whether the Corporation of Warwick, or the Vicar of St. Mary, in that town, had the right of appointing a lecturer in the church of St. Mary. The annual salary of the lectureship was only litV. Under various Lord Chancellors, from the time of Lord Elsmere to the present, interlocutory orders had been made, and the right of appointment was discussed before Lord Jef- fries, Lord Hardwicke, Lord Thurlow, and Lord Eldon. No decision, however, had bejn pronounced satisfactory to the parlies, anil to put a stop to the expenditure of money in costs, which has already exceeded 15,000/., the Lord Chancellor said he would look into the enso. and direct such a couise to be taken as would put all end to the litigation. DREADFUL MURDER.— A dreadful murder was perpetrated on Monday night upon an aged woman named Mary Jeffe, who had tlie care of an unfurnished house, No. 11, Montagu- place, Russell- square— The victim of this inhuman barbarity was of the venerable age of seventy- five years. Her hair Was blanched by time, and she was in a state of decrepitude. The poor old creature has been for twenty years the servant of Mr. Lett, the brother of Mr. Lett. Magistrate of Surrey. In the situation of housekeeper, she had gained the respect and esteem of her master and mistress, and was particu- larly respected by her young piaster, Captain Lett, whom she nursed in his infancy. For some time Mr. Lett and his family had resided at Dulwich, and Mrs. Jeffe had the sole care of the house in Montagu- place, and fidpt a couple of rooms in readiness for the temporary use of ar. y member of the family, when business called therti to London. She had been twice married ; her first husband was named Knight, by whom she had a son, who is now living, and is a feather manufacturer in Cursitor- street, Chancery- lane. Her second husband, Mr. Jeffe, died shortly before she became Mr. Lett's housekeeper. She had also two nephews aud a grandson, to whom she was much attached. It has been stated that the old lady was penurious in her habits, and that she kept by her a con- siderable sum of money, the produce of her yearly sav- ings. Some motive must liiVe induced the commission of the dreadful deed, and it is suppused that her pro- perty was the object whlfcll the tiend had In view when he perpetrated this piece of butchery. The old lady was seen about eight o'doclc, on Monday night, standing in the hall of her master's house, talking to a man dressed in blue, wearing a white apron, by the pot- boy of the Gower Arms public- house, in Gower- street, Bedford- square, wild usually took her a pint of porter every evening. As scon as he had delivefed the beer, she shut the door. On the following day she triis not seen by any person, which created much surprise in the mind of an elderly woman, who was servant at the house next door, No. 10, in Montague- place, because the old lady was daily in the habit of coming to iier to have " a little gossip." Some persons came to the door and knocked in the course Of the afternoon ; and receiv- ing no answer, went Swayi The servants at the next house, not seeing the window- shutters opened as usual, thought that something had befallen the unfortunate wo- man, which suspicion was strengthened at a late hour arriving and the shutters stiil remaining closed. The female who had belli the intimate friend of the old lady, after knocking tit the door ineffectually, em- ployed a man to get on the top of Mr. Lett's house, and to enter at a window. The man eSictcd an entrance, and procoeded down stairs into the housekeeper's room, which is a dark room in the front of the ground floor. A spectacle here presented itself which was so dreadful that the man was for a time horror- struck. After recovering in some degree from the fright, he proceeded to the front door, and let in the servants of the next house J and upon receiving information that Mrs. Jeffe was murdered, they iroceeded to the servants' hall. At the top of the stairs eading thereto they found a candlestick, with a candle n it half burnt, which had been turned i| i the socket and extinguished. On entering the servants' hall, they discovered the body of the unfortunate old woman, lying on its back on the floor, between two chairs, with her throat cut from ear to car, and her clothes saturated with blood. Her head, which was attached to the neck merely by a hit of skin, was lying in a pool of clotted blood. The body when found was quite stiff and cold ; and from the relative situation of the body, the chairs, and a table, it is believed the murderer had been sitting with her, and probably she had been regaling him before he destroyed her. A pint pot, containing a small quan- tity of beer, was standing on the table. The fatal wound inflicted must have been received in the apartment where she was discovered, as there were no traces of blood beyond the immediate spot; but in some of the drawers, up stairs, there were marks of blood, as if the murderer or murderers had been there with bloody hands. Upon the first discovery of the deceased, it occurred to some persons that she might have committed the act herself, but very little examination was necessary to prove the groundlessness of such a supposition. There was no weapon near her, by which she could have inflicted the wound ; but there was lying beside her a razor case, and little doubt remains that her murderer had, in his hurry, omitted to carry off this, which may, in all pro- bability, lead to his detection. The razor- case cannot be recognized by any of the per- sons acquainted with the house, so that it must have been brought there by the author of this atrocious act. On the arrival of Mr. Halls, Mr. Stafford ( the chief clerk), and the officers Salmon, Gardiner, and Furzman, at the house, a surgeon was sent for, and he examined the body, and said decisively that she had been murdered. It was then discovered that the pockets of the deceased had been turned inside out, and several drawers in the house had been rifled; they had all the marks of bloody fingers upon them. On the table there was a small work- basket, which was also besmeared with blood. The officers were dispatched by the magistrates to apprehend Charles Knight, the son of the deceased. The officers proceeded to his house in Cursitor- street, and took him into custody, and he underwent an examination before Mr. Halls. He is a dealer in feathers, and goes about the country col- lecting them. He was asked where he was on Monday night, and he replied with apparent embarrassment: lie stated the hour he left his house on Monday, and that he went by the coach to Brentford. He mentioned the different places which he called at on his return to town on foot, and whither he went after his arrival in London, at eight o'clock at night. Tlie magistrate ordered him to be detained till an in- quiry could be made into the truth of his statement, and the Coroner's Inquest had been held on tlie body. It was singular that Knight, according to his admission, set out to go on Monday to one place to buy feathers, and mistaking the name of the place, he came back again, having had his trouble for his pains. It was di- rected by the magistrates that the body should not be removed from the position in which it was found till a Coroner's Jury had examined it. INQUEST ON THE BODY.— Yesterday, T. Stirling, Esq., the Coroner for Middlesex, nncl a jury of gentlemen of the highest respectability, assembled at the Montague Arms public- house, in Montague- street, to inquire into tlie dreadful circumstances connected with the death of Eliz. Jeffe. Various witnesses were examined, the pur- port of whose evidence went fully to corroborate the most material circumstances above detailed. The surgeon was decidedly of opinion that the unfortunate old woman was murdered, and he thought that the deed was perpetrated with a razor. At the conclusion of the examination of the witnesses, Sir Robert Baker, foreman of the jury, submitted to the Coroner and jury that they had gone quite far enough in the evidence to shew that the poor woman had been mur- dered ; the next question would be to know, if they could bring the guilt home to the perpetrator, and he thought that could be more efficiently done in other hands. The case win at present in the hands of a very clever Magis- trate, assisted by an officer of well known enterprize, and he had no doubt that all would be done by them to bring the murderer to condign punishment. A t present there was only a suspicion attached to one party. The Coroner acquiesced in the opinion of Sir Robert, as also did the rest of the jurors. The Jury then expressed themselves quite satisfied, and returned a verdict of" Wilful Murder" against some person or persons unknown. The enquiry excited the most intense interest in the neighbourhood, and the house was much crowded during the time the Jury were sitting. Mr. Halls, after the inquest, had Charles Knight, the son of the deceased, brought before him for farther examination. Furzeman having ascertained that the whole of his statement was correct, as to where he had spent Monday evening during the time the murder was supposed to be committed, the Magistrate was con. vinced of tlis innocence, and gave an order for his imme- diate discharge. Knight, on being liberated, stated that he should use his utmos'. exertions to discover tlie murderer of his poor old mother. At present the police are quite at fault;" no suspicion rests against any individual. Mr. Wallington, the proprietor of the Ports- mouth coach, No. 6,529, was on Thursday fined 50s., on the information of Byers, the informer, for running his coach on a Monday, which day Was not expressed in his license. Sarah Brown and Elizabeth Hazard were on Monday committed to Dorchester jail, by the Rev. John Parsons, for one month's hard labour. These women had been in the employ of Mr. Gouger, silk- throwster, of Sherborne, but had quitted his service without notice, leaving a quantity of work which they had ill progress unfinished, and had entered into other employment near Bath. This example will it is hoped act as a caution againsfconduct so prejudicial ( o the interests of manu- facturers. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.— On Monday last, as Sir R. B. P. Philipps, Bart, of Picton Castle, Pem- brokeshire, was passing over a temporary wooden bridge at St. Clear's, Carmarthenshire, the wheels of the car- riage came in contact with one of the ballister posts, and by tlie concussion the carriage swung over the edge of the bridge, and was actually for a considerable time sus- pended by the traces. In this perilous position it re- mained until assistance was procured, when by dint of great exertion it was dragged up again with ropes, and the worthy Baronet and Lady Philipps, who, with great presence of mind kept their seat, were relieved from their situation which was dangerous and awful in the extreme, for had the traces given way they must have been preci- pitated into the abyss below, and their destruction would nave inevitably ensued, as the river was flooded and running rapidly at the time. FIRE.— On Tuesday evening, about half- past six o'clock, a fire broke out oil the premises of Messrs. G. Webb and Co. paper- stainers, on St. Augustine's Back, Bristol, which in half all hour were completely destroyed The premises were not extensive, but filled with inflammable matter, and the accident arose from the foreman dropping his candle into a barrel of tar, which he then attempted to roll into the street, but it came in contact with a tub of turpentine, which imme- diately ignited, and the whole premises were soon a mass of flame, which it was impossible to extinguish. The foreman was much burnt, and is now at the Infirmary. A very respectable man, named O'Neill, a mason by trade, died at Knocklofty a few days since. A brother to the deceased requested to have the coffin un- covered, that he might take a parting look ; and, while gazing intensely upiin the face of tile dead man, he fell down and was tak. u up a corpse !— Tipperary free Press. ( FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) " Lowther's Protestant and Popish Missionaries con- trasted— Every real friend of our Protestant State find Church will read this work with peculiar interest, as we will Venture to assert, that, in no modern production, hav e W principles and policy of Popery bebn more fully and. powerfully developed.— Mr. Lowther's long fesidence in ft Popish State, and constant intercourse with many eminent characters among both Priests and Laity, afforded him opportunities of investigating and knowing the Nature and Spirit of Popery, which few men have enjoyed. The result Of his investigations is ft conviction, thr. t the Church of Rome is unchanged and unchangeable. — Anti- christian in Iter principles— Anti- christian in lu: r doctrines— aud Anti- christian in her practices. This is not mere assertion. TheSe charges, strong and astound- ing us they may appear, are substantiated lly facts, to which Mr. Lowther himself was an eye » witness, and by documents in his possession— The Bishop of Sign, to whose Sermon allusion is made in this publication, was many years Roman Catholic Priest at Bath. The Ser- mon 111 question was preached some time since, at Brad- ford, in Yorkshire, and is entitled. Faith, Hope, and Charity. It contains the Popish Bishop's exposition of the Roman Catholic Faith, and a riiore Jesuitical pro- duction has rarely emanated from the press.— No oppor- tunity lias been omitted of disseminating this insidious poisort throughout the Kingdom, as the following Fact, 111 addition to many others, will shew :— A few days since a Clergyman going into an Episcopal Chapel in London, where Lectures on the Errors of Popery are occasionally preached, saw a man at the door with a large bundle of Tracts, one of which was presented to him, and he put it in his pocket. After the service, a voting lady, who had sat ill the same pew with him, and had taken notes of the sermon, gave him another Tract. On his return home, he found he had received two of the Bishop of Siga's Sermons. We had marked several passages for extracts, but from want of room we are reluctantly obliged to omit then!: We hope, therefore^ from what has been said, that otir readers tflll be induced to peruse the work for theinsehel The account of three Popish Missionary Sermons preached in France tiientioned pages 40— 50, and the ceremony of christening l-. co Church Bells, at whicH Mr. Lowther was present, cannot fail of making a deep impression on every well constituted mind. Ap, pended to the work are many valuable Notes, containing matter of deep concern to the people of this nation, par- ticularly at the present crisis, when the champions of Popery are about to renew their exertions, and our Legis- lators to decide a question big with importance to the best interests of the empire. May the work before us receive all the attention it deservedly merits; and may the efforts of its worthy Author be instrumental in removing the veil of prejudice from the eyes of many of our countrymen." The Paris letters state, that the allied Am- bassadors, on leaving Constantinople, Were treated with the respect and courtesy due to their characters, and that on the day preceding their departure another attempt was made to detain them by a proposition dn the part of the Turkish Government for granting a general amnesty to the Greeks. This not being the sort of concession the Ambassadors were instructed to require, was of course not listened to, and the Ambassadors went on board ship. Their families and effects had been embarked, it appears, several days before. THE MARQUIS OF DOURO.— The Duke of Wellington's son, the Marquis of Douro, will attain his majority on the M of next Frebruary, the young Mar- quis having been horn on that day in the year 1807. Splendid preparations are making at Strathfieldsay, in Berks, tile seat of his Grace, to celebrate the day with becoming splendour; and a select party will be enter- tained on the occasion by the Noble Duke. UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.— His Royal Highness the Chancellor being pleased to give annually a a third Gold Medal for the encouragement of English Poetry, to such resident Under Graduate that shall com- pose the best Ode, or the best Poem in Heroic Verse ; the Vice- Chancellor gives notice that the subject for the present year is—" The Invasion of Russia by Napoleon Buonaparte." All the Yeomanry Cavalry regiments in Scotland are to be disbanded, except the Mid Lothian, Stirling, Lanark, and Renfrew. BLANDFORD, Jan. 1— Mrs. Hanham's ball and supper, at her villa at Langton, last night, was nu- merously and elegantly attended: all the beauty and fashion of the neighbourhood were present. The supper consisted of every delicacy of the season ; the wines wore of the finest description, and of the choicest flavour. Dancing was kept up with the greatest spirit until a late hour, and the company departed highly delighted with the evenintr's amusement. NEW ZEALAND MISSIONARIES.— BY A letter received from Captain Clarke, at Hukianga, who is Su- perintendent of the Commercial Establishment of Messrs. Raine, Ramsay, and Brown, in New Zealand, we are happy to learn, that all die Church Missionaries were well a tew days prior to the sailing of the Madeira Packet. Appearances generally wore a more pacific aspect than when the Wesleyan Missionaries sailed in January last. The Rev. Henry Williams and Mr. Richard Davis are expected to visit the Colony— Sydney Gazette, Aug. 3. Letters from Mexico state, that a large re- mittance of dollars had been sent to the coast" on the 5th of November, to be conveyed by a ship of war to England. LISBON, Dec. 22.— The English troops have made no movements, but there are rumours of some regiments being soon about to be removed to Gibraltar. Orders are said to have been issued for theit holding themselves in readiness for that purpose. Extract of a letter received from St. Peters- burgh, dated the 7th of December last:—" Bv an order of the Minister of Finance, the Department of Foreign Commerce has given notice, ' that all imported cloths and kerseymeres of a dark colour, will be liable to con- fiscation, should they exhibit the slightest tinge or shade of green." Letters from Odessa, to tlie 12th of Decem- ber, do not notice the arrival of the Russian Ambassador there from Constantinople. A letter from Corfu, of the 8th Dec. states that Lord Cochrane was pursuing pirates, and blockading the cost between Coron and Motion ; and says nothing of the burning of any Greek ships at Scio. A rumour of such au event had, however, reached Constantinople on the 4th of December. Accounts have been received from the Cape of Good Hope to the 8th of November. The Caffres had retired from the English Settlements, The Lieut.- Governor still continued in the interior. Nothing official has transpired respecting the communications made by Admiral Sir John Gore to the Lord High Admiral and his Majesty's Ministers, on the subject of his mission to Sir Edward Codrington. Reports are propagated in the German papers, that the Russian troops will enter Turkey with- out waiting for any fresh orders from St Petersburg. Report says that M. Laurent intends to strengthen the Opera corps by bringing over the principal performers belonging to the Italian Opera at Paris, and that Rosini has undertaken to produce a new Grand Opera in the course of the season. Gurney's Engine Carriage.— This beautiful invention begins at length to assume its ne plus ultra; at least as far as a careful examination of its construction goes, wc should say that the inventor has so far provided for all the contingencies that can arise in the conveyance both ( of goods and passengers as to leave scarcely any tiling further to be desired. The best proof that can be given of the merits of this invention is, that several coachmasters and innkeepers on the different roads from the metropolis, are already in treaty for licenses, with the patentees, for running these steam- carriages in their respective districts. In about a month, it is expected two coaches will commence running on the western road. London Weekly Review. MAIDSTONE ASSIZES.— Mr. Baron Vaughan arrived at Maidstone on Wednesday, and proceeded to the New Courts, where his Majesty's Commission was opened. The calendar contains the names of 144 pri- soners. The offences generally are not of a serious cast. To MILLERS.— Sixteen millers were lately fined at Malton, Yorkshire, for not having placed in their mills the terms of grinding, & c. pursuant to a re- cent Act of Parliament. WHITE RATS.— One of these rare little animals has lately been taken on the premises of Mi. Foster, chemist and druggist. High- street, Cheltenham, who now has it in his possession. It has been very generally observed that flies, moths, und various reptiles, are in a state of more active existence than is usually the case at so late a period of the season as the present. In proof confirmatory of this observation, Mr. Brooks, of the Three Compasses public- house, at Charminster, killed a snake on Monday last, about eight inch .- s long, upon a cold gravelly soil, and quite away front the shelter which that class ' of animals naturally fly to in cold weather. DIED.] At Bothwell Castle, Lanarkshire, on the 2( lth of December, in the 110th year of his age, the Right Hon. Archibald Lord Douglas of Douglas, Lord Lieu- tenant of the county of Forfar, & c. His Lordship suc- ceeded to the estates of Douglas, Forfar, & c. on the deat'. i of his uncle the Duke of Douglas, in 1761. His Lordship married, in 1771, Lady Lucy Graham, sister to his Grace the Duke of Montrose; and he next married in 1785, Lady Frances Scott, daughter of the Duke of Buccleugh, and has left issue of both marriages. GUIDE FOR FAMILIES AND INVALIDS.— A new- Medical Guide for the Clergy, Families, and Invalids, by Dr. GRAHAM, has lately been published, which, we understand, promises to be of great utility. This work is entitled MODERN DOMESTIC MEDICINE, and is very highly recommended to the Public by several Pe- riodicals of established reputation. The Literary Chro- nicle " Conscientiously recommends it, as calculated to be extensively useful," and in another widely- circulated Publication a respectable Physician states, that " It is enriched with much of all that Modern Practice has as- certained to he valuable, and is not only imcoinparably superior to Buchan's, but also to every similar Work in or. r language." So useful a work cannot fail to rccom- 31 lend itself extensively. |? 2 This Day is Published, price 7s. (!</. NO. II. of the FOREIGN QUAR- TERLY REVIEW Contents.:- 1. Daru's History of Britanny— II.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 6. ~ * The health of the Princess Augusta lias im- proved materially since the arrival of her Royal High- ness at Brighton. DON MIGUEL.— Yesterday morning, about 12 o'clock, his Royal Highness, accompanied by Prince Esterhazy, and attended by Earl Mountcharles, left town for the Royal Gardens at Kew. The party proceeded to take the diversion of shooting, and after having had an hour and a half's sporting, 42 pheasants and one hare were bagged. Earl Dudley gave a grand dinner to his Royal Highness in the evening, at his residence in Downing- street. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Prince Lieven, and several noblemen and gentlemen are on a shooting visit to Prince Leopold at Claremont. Notwithstanding the decisive measure of the departure of the Ambassadors from Constantinople, there is still a general disposition to believe that war will not take place, or that if it does, it will not be of long duration. Among the Members of the present Ministry who, it is said, are to make way for the replenishment of Whigs, are Lord Bexley, Mr. Herries, Mr. Sturges Bourne, Lord Dudley, and Lord Goderich. As to the last- named Nobleman reports differ, some still retaining him in the Cabinet— Morning Herald. Captain Fellowes, of the Dartmouth frigate, whose boats were fired upon by the Turkish ships, killing Lieutenant Fitzroy, and wounding several persons, is arrived itt town, and has had a Jong audience of his Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral. The news of the destruction of the Greek fleet oft' Scio appears to be generally disbelieved. It is reported that Government will immedi- ately declare the independence of Greeee. Consuls for the principal ports, it is said, are about to be appointed. It is also added that part of the troops now in Portugal will proceed to the Morea. PORTSMOUTM, Jan. 3.— Orders have been received here from his Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral, to put a frigate into commission ; and we un- derstand that a frigate is also put in commission at Deptford. Mercantile leltcrs from Constantinople state that the Russian Ambassador ceased his functions on the 4th of December, and embarked on the 6th; but as the wind came round strong to the north, the vessel was still detained on the Kill. The English Ambassador expected to be met by the Rifleman man- of- war at the mouth of the Darda- nelles, from whence it was reported he would proceed to Vourla ( near Smyrna). Not the least impediment was thrown in the way of persons quitting Constantinople, and all the English residents hail embarked except four, who intended to remain, at all hazards, at the Turkish capital. The fortunate holders of Brazilian Mining Shares continue to receive the most satisfactory results from the exertions of their highly respectable and inde- fatigable commissioner, Capt. Lyon, whose success for the month of September last, was 452 lbs. of gold, worth about 20,0Uhi. sterling. The information of this extraor- dinary rcturnjwas accompanied by a remittance of nearly HO. IMIO/. in gold bars, and a request to have forty or fifty scientific miners scut out to him in addition to his smaU party of ten, exclusive of natives, as he states in his letter that he had twenty times as much mining groiuul befbie him as that which his limited number would allow him to work, and tliat the returns would be commensurate. The party of 40 miners sailed from Falmouth on Thurs- day. in high spirits. The Grand Duke Constantino reviewed the garrison of Warsaw on the 14th ult. It was currently reported there, that the Emperor of Russia, accompanied by several Generals, would soon leave St. Petersburg!! to join the army. It is stated in the Hamburgh papers, that corsairs are fitting out at Tangiers to cruize off Cape St. Vincent airainst Prussian and Hanseatic ships. The fact has been officially announced by the Spanish Consul at Tangiers. Some corsairs have already been sent to sea. The French papers contain no domestic in- telligence of interest. Changes in the Ministry arc talked of, but they have not taken place, and for the present M. de Villele retains his office. Letters front Constantinople state that all vessels laden with corn, lying in that port had been stopped ; for which, however, it is added, the Turkish Government have paid one- third in money and given bonds for the rest. After this, the ships were suffered to proceed to their several placcs of destination. Active preparations for war slill continue to be carried on, in the Turkish capital. MADRID, Dec. 18.— Letters from Cadiz men- tion that tile evacuation of that fortress by the French is sure to take place; but the French have not yet received any orders on the subject. BRUSSELS, Dec. 28.— The Chamber of Com- merce at Amsterdam has just informed the merchants that the Government had taken new measures for the protection of the trade of the Netherlands in the Medi- terranean and in the Archipelago. ODESSA, Dec. 14.— The peace with Persia is concludcd on the most glorious terms for Russia. The whole province of Erivan, and all the defiles, which make the Persian empire dependant upon us, in a mili- tary point of view, are ceded to us. ST. PETERSBURGH. Dec. 15.— At the foot of an Ukase lately issued by the Senate, and laid before the Emperor for signature, which related to the punishment to be inflicted upon Jews in various cases, the Emperor wrote, with his own hand—" So be it ; but those among them who are sentenced to exile in Siberia, and who are lit for military service, are to be taken for soldiers, and sent to Georgia." WARSAW, Dec. 11.— We learn from St. Pe- tersburgh, that the preliminaries of peace were signed on the 2lith November, in a village near Tauris. The pro- vince of Erivan, on botli sides of the Araxes, from the fort of Mount Arrarat to the Caspian Sea, is by this treaty incorporated with the Russian Empire. The Per- sians engaged, at the same time, to indemnify the Rus- sians for the expenses of tile campain, which are esti- mated at II), 000,0110 rubles. Till this sum is paid, the Russian troops remain in possession of all the strong places, which they now hold, including Tauris. A letter has been addressed to the Home Department by Lieut.- Colonel Harvey, to express the wish of the Norwich city magistrates, that the 3d regi- ment of East Norfolk Yeomanry Cavalry may not be disbanded, on account of the frequent calls for their ser- vices which have been made both by the city anil county, and the great population of Norwich anil its vicinity, employed in manufactures. GREAT FALL OF RAIN AT BOMBAY.— In a letter from Mr. Scott, Jun. of Bombay, he says, that during the first twelve days of the rainy season, 32 inches of rain fell, anil that then all the roads became like rivers. In England the average fall for the whole year, is 32 inches— the quantity which fell at Bombay in the course of twelve days.— Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal. The Lord Mayor and Corporation have grant- ed the use of the Guildhall for a Grand Morning Concert on Wednesday, February 13, which will be under the direction of Sir George Smart, for the benefit of the Spanish and Italian Refugees A few days since died at Stanton, Derby, the Rev. B. Thornhill, aged 42, from the accidental explo- sion of a friend's gun, which went off on passing through a hedge, and lodged its contents in the head and neck of the Rev. Gentleman. Sheep- stealing to an almost ruinous extent still continues at Long Sutton, Somersetshire, anil the neighbouring parishes. In the night of the 24th ult. three more sheep were slaughtered in a close occupied by Mr. R. Wroot, and were next day traced very near to huts occupied by labourers, but no discovery wss made. As a proof of the vigour with which our great staple manufacture of cotton is cariied on, it is gratifying to lind that the home consumption for the year 1827 has been considerably greater than in the two preceding years. In 1825 the average wecklv consumption of raw cotton was 11,844 bags; ill 1820, 10,150 ; in 1827, 13,478 bags. The low prices at which manufactured poods are sold are a considerable drawback as regards national wealth from this source, but the increased consumption proves abun- dantly that Great Britain is still able to carry on a success- ful competition with the whole of Europe in this article. FLOODS.— The river Avon, at Bath, over- flowed its banks on Wednesday morning, when, so little was a flood expected, that the poor people in the Dol- meads had scarcely time to remove their property from the lower part of their dwellings, and consequently some of it was lost. On Tuesday, after several hours incessant rain, the city of Wells and its environs were visited with an awful deluge, which swept before it every thing that opposed its progress. Torrents of water poured into the city from the surrounding hills, and meeting in a confined street called Torr- lane, the effect was appalling. In the course of 10 minutes it rose in some places to the alarming heiaht of upwards of 5 feet, rushing into the houses, and driving the affrighted inhabitants to the upper stories. By its violent confluence it lifted about ten feet of wall com- pletely off its foundation, and threw down 40 yards of another wall ten feet high, which bounded the kitchen gardens of the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells. The water rolled down the High- street, where it rose from 2 to 3 feet, filling every cellar, and inundating the lower rooms of most of the houses. The ground floor and cel- lars of the Deanery ( the present residence of the Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry) were alarmingly inun- dated ; and considerable damage was done to the south and west of Wells. DISTRESSING CASE.— A report having been circulated in the neighbourhood of Bermondsey, that three young women ( sisters) named Camerford, residing near the Folly Bridge, had entered into a resolution to starve themselves ta death, rather than seek any assist, ance to relieve themselves from their distressed situation, Painter, a constable, repaired to their wretched abode, and found them in a garret destitute of every thing. The room had not a single article of furniture in it, and the three poor objects sat huddled together, half naked, on the floor, without a spark of fire at this inclement season. One of the poor creatures' dissolution seemed to bo fast approaching. The eldest, who is 25 years of age, said, that about two months ago her two sisters were compelled to leave their situations in consequence of ill health, anil both of them, having no other alternative, came to reside with her. She supported them as long as she was enabled, and disposed of the whole of her clothes, bedding, and furniture, for their maintenance ; and every means of fur- nishing them with further support having been exhausted, about a month ago they were all reduced to the state in which the constable found them. They had made up their minds to starve rather than apply tor parish relief. Food and firing were immediately supplied by the officer, and they were removed to the workhouse. A venerable gentleman of Shrewsbury bought two shares in the Government Tontine, in the vear 1794. The original cost was 100/. each. On Thursday he re- ceivcd the remittance of 587', 19 » Sd. as his annuity for one year. The hop planters in West Kent are getting up petitions to the Legislature for tile remission of the hop duty for 1827, and also for a total repeal of the war duty on hops in future. The merchants engaged in the Mediterranean and Levant trades, are forming an association similar to those established at Liverpool. Considerable reductions are now about to lie made at the seveial public establishments connected wiih this port About one hundred labourers are to be dis- charged from the Dock- yard, and the work now per- formed by horses is to be done by the convicts. The re- ductions will be effected gradually. Similar measures will be adopted at every Naval Arsenal in the kingdom. — Plymouth Journal. DIED.) At Brussels, on the 30th ult. General Sir G. S.

Dottin, Esq., with that liberality and charitable feeling for which he is so emminently distinguished, has during the last week distributed 8 chaldrons of coals among the poorer classes of the inhabitants of the parish in which he resides. The Master of the Ceremonies' Ball which took place on Tuesday evening, at the Long Rooms, was attended by the first rank and fashion of tile neighbour- hood ; upwards of two hundred and fifty of whom were present, an honour which, when the very unfavorable state of the weather is considered, cannot fail of being duly nppreciatedlby Peter Dixon, Esq. the M. C. BIRTH.— On the 4tli instant, at Southampton, tile lady of Sir Robert Gore Booth, Bart., of a daughter still- born. On the 1st instant died at Southampton. of a severe and protracted illness, Mrs. Irwin, relict of the late Henry Irwin, Esq , of Ray, in the county of Done- gal, and Streamstower, in the county of Sligo, Ireland, sincerely regretted by a numerous circle of attached friends. Oil Tuesday last before the Mayor and Magis- trates at the Audit House, Thomas Scott Seed was fully L committed tor trial at the next Winchester assizes, charged At our city sessions holden on Friday last before J. B. H. Tanner, Esq. ( Mayor), W. H. Tinney, Esq.

The Marquis of Lansdowne on Wednesday entertained the Burgesses of Calne, and the Members for the Borough, with a sumptuous dinner at the Lans- downe Arms. On this occasion the whole corporate body were present, and expressed themselves highly gratified with the dinner and the wines. A highly respectable meeting was held at Wells on Tuesday last, for the purpose of hearing the report of a committee appointed in August last to consider the propriety of establishing a Somerset Friendly Society, on improved principles. The Marquis of Bath took the chair, Major- Gen. Bathurst read the report, and the meeting was addressed by the Rev. S. Blackall, the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells, H. Hobhouse, Esq.. the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, D. B. Payne, Ksq., W. Dickenson, Esq., M P., Sir A. Hood, Bart., W. H. Shepherd, Esq., the Hon. Capt. Waldegrave, R. N. and the Earl of Cork. The resolutions were all carried unanimously, anil a liberal subscription was entered into for carrying the proposed object into effect. The ball and supper given by G. H. W. Heneage, Esq., on Tuesday evening last, at Compton- house, to celebrate the christening of his son and heir, was of the most splendid description. The company com- prised most of the distinguished families of the county, among whom were several Noblemen and their Ladies. BLANDFORD, Jan. 4.— Ranston House, the seat of Sir Edward Baker, was again the see e of gay fes- tivity on Wednesday evening last. A ball ar. il supper was given by him on that evening to the principal nobi- lity and gentry of the county, and nearly 3C0 were pre- sent. The supper, adorned with a profusion of orna- ments and devices, was served up by Gunter, in a superb and elegant style, such as was seldom or ever before witnessed in the neighbourhood : here was to be found delicious and abundant food for the eye and for tile palate; for the votaries of Terpsichore, Weippert's band was in attendance, and dancing was kept up with great spirit till morning's dawn compelled the party reluctantly to separate, highly delighted with the evening's amusement, and with the urbanity and attention of the young host. On Tuesday, Jan, 1st, the brothers of the Shaftesbury Hope Friendly Society dined together in the new town- hall, the patron, Charles Bowles, Esq. in the chair. It was the first anniversary of the society, which had been established chiefly by the mechanics resident in the town, upon a plan far superior to that of the gene- rality of friendly societies; and their printed rules and, regulations, being the unaided production of their own committee of management, do them much credit. The society during its first year has enrolled upwards of one hundred members, ninety- seven of whom sat down to dinner, and conducted themselves with great harmony and propriety. The late heavy and continued rains have oc casioned great floods throughout the kingdom, but perhaps in no place more extensively than in the vicinity of this city. It is well known that several rivers join in our immediate neighbourhood: upon this occaison, the banks of each have been overflown, and an immense ex- tent of meadow, pasture, and arable land, has in conse- quence been completely inundated. The proprietors and occupiers of those lands will doubtless experience injury ; but the flood has proved particularly calamitous to hundreds of poor persons whose tenements have been inundated, and who are almost perishing for want of fuel, which they are totally unable to obtain. The state of these sufferers must make a forcible appeal to the feelings of the charitably disposed, who will not hesitate to consider whether their destitute situation is the result of misfortune or improvidence: it is certain that a little blanketting and fuel would at this time afford essential relief to the sufferings of many of our fellow- creatures, anil render their situation comparatively com- fortable and happy. The fall of rain was exceedingly heavy on Tuesday last. On Wednesday several of our streets were flooded, and the performance of divine service was suspended at our Cathedral, owing to the floors of the nave, the cloisters, and chapter- house, being completely overflown. Fisherton has particularly suffered from this unwelcome visitation ; the water has entered very many of the houses, and the street has been flooded for several days. Among other instances of the injurious effects of the flood, we understand that the road from Amesbury to Durrington is impassable, ow ing to the damage done to one of the bridges. Very great damage has been done by the flood at Fordingbridge; the water was higher there than ever before remembered by the oldest inhabitant, and the scene was quite awful and appalling: one house has been entirely carried away, and Mr. Rawlence has sus- tained a loss of 300/. in his farm and tan- yards. In consequence of the quantity of rain which fell on Tuesday last, the town of Calne was flooded. It is supposed that the water had not been so high there since the memorable flood in Nov. 1725, when two men were drowned in the principal street, in sight of their neighbours, who durst not stir to their relief. On Tuesday last was married at St. Martin's Church, by the Rev. F. P. Hodges. Mr. George Parsons, gun- maker, to Miss Caroline Matcham, both of this city. On Monday last was married at Fovant, by the Rev. T. Fox, Mr. Henry Dewey, grocer and tea- dealer, to Ann, second daughter of Martin Loder, Esq. of Stower Provost. On the 28th ult. was married, Mr. Hinton, grocer, to Lucretia, daughter of Mr. Hook, of the Brit- tox, Devizes. Married, Dec. 30, at Walcot Church, Bath, Mr. James Bartlett, of Frome, to Mrs. Ralph, of Bath. Died on the 25th ultimo, at Bristol, alter a painful illness of seven months, Edward Jukes, Esq., formerly of Bury Hall, in Hampshire, fttlfl a banker of Gosport. On Monday last died at Marden, Bridget wile of Thomas Weston Wadley, Esq., Paymaster of th. Wiltshire regiment of Militia, and sister of the Rev. E Goddard of Cliffe Pypard- house ; a ] ndy endeared to her relatives and friends, by her amiable maimers and be- nevolent disposition. Saturday the 5th inst. died Mrs. Marsh, late of Exeter, and mother of Mrs. Osmond, of this city. Salisbury. MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 1828. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. N. F.

He possessed a kind and benevolent heart, and was a man of the strictest honor and integrity. Friday se'nnight died, aged 46, Mr. John Maton, an opulent farmer, of Maddington, in this county. ( From a correspondent.)— Died on the 27th of December last, at Damerham, after a fortnight's illness, John Loxly. In consequence of many reports highly prejudicial to the character of the medical gentle- man who attended him, a coroner's inquest was held on the body by Mr. Whitmarsh, when it appeared from the concurrent testimony of five medical gentlemen who ex- pressly attended for the purpose of closely investigating the case, and the evidence adduccd by several witnesses, the jury came to an opinion and returned a verdict that the said " John Loxly died by the visitation of God ;" thereby confirmirg the reputation of the respectable surgeon who attended the deceased in his illness, and decidedly clearing his name from reports which must have originated in the base design of some malicious person to wound ( if possible) his professional character.
