CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 9. rpTlE last days Were passed by . the Am- bassadors, in useless attempts to engage the Porte to accept a pacification! accordingly thev renewed their " demands for a firman to proceed on their voyage, and the Reis Effendi, true to the system Of the Porte, and to ovoid any sort of aggression, replied that their demand jtifcjt be in writing, and that their departure could only be o: » the most pressing orders from their Sovereigns. The Ministers, who would not, or did not wish to give uny answer on this subject, resolved to depart without delay. The Austrian internuncio, who made great efforts, is indisposed. F. very thins remains quiet. It is presumed that the Porte will omit nothing in its povet to avoid a Continental War. CORFU, Dec. 14.— A report is prevalent here that the fortress of Patras has fallen into the hands of the Greeks. Tim Turks, having learned the catastrophe at Navarino. hastened to capitulate with General Church, on condi- tion that they should be allowed to mutch out with all tlie honours of war. They dreaded that want of provi- sions would, ere long, oblige them to surrender. TRIESTE, Dec. 22.— We learn from Smyrna that Admiral de Rigny, irritated by the events at Scio, has sent two of his ships to cause the armistice to be recog- nised, and that M. de Rigny intended- to go himself to Scio, with Commodore Hamilton, to re- establish order, and to cause satisfaction to be given to the Consulates, which have suffered by the excesses of the Greeks. WARSAW. Dec. 20— The Polish army, forty thousand strong, and well disciplined, is on the eve of setting out tj join the great Russian army about to enter Turkey. BUCHAREST, Dec. 16.— Every thing here announces war, and we are on the eve of great events. The Rus- sian armies are ready to march. London, MONDAY, JANUARY 7. The King, with his household attendants, had divine service performed yesterday in the Royal Lodge, Windsor. The Rev. Mr. Seymour officiated. His Majesty, we rejrret to hear, has been for some days slightly indisposed. At the time of Don Miguel's arrival, the King was suffering, it is said, under a slight attack of gout; and hu Majesty's subsequent ekertions to receive and entertain his illustrious guest, brought on some inflammatory symptoms, which induced his nodical attendants to have recourse to bleeding, which is stated to have had the desired effect— Morning Herald. Don Miguel yesterday attended mass at the Portuguese Ambassador's chapel in South Audley- street. Don Miguel visited Covent- garden theatre on Saturday evening, and was greeted with cheers by the audience. The Lord Mayor waited upon Bon Miguel on Saturday, to invite the Prince to dinner, at the Man- sion- House. His Royal Highness expre- sed his regret, that owing to previous engagements to dinner, during the » h tt stay he should make in this capital, lie should be jir- nted from accepting the invitation. The Household Brigades anil the 72d High- landers were reviewed on Saturday morning, on the parade in St. James's Park, by Don Miguel, who was accompanied by the Duke of Wellington and his Grace's Staff. The Marquis Wellesley had frequent inter- views with Ministers last week. The Duke of Clarence has, at the express wish of his Majesty, accepted the office of Master of the Prince of Wales's Lodge of Freemasons, No. 493, which has been vacant since the death of the Duke of York. It is confidently staled that the state of his his health alone prevents the Marquis of Anglesea from proceeding immediately to Ireland, as Lord Lieutenant. The Monitear of Saturday contains a royal ordinance nominating a new Ministry, viz.:— the Count Portalis to be Secretary of State for the department of Jus- tice; Count dela Ferronaye, Secretary for Foreign Affairs; Viscount de Caux, Minister of War; Viscount Martignac, Secretary of the Interior; Count de St. Cricq, President of Commerce and the Colonies; and Count Roy, Secre- tary of the Finances A second ordinance ordains Counts de Villele and Peyronnet, the Baron de Damas, the Mar- quis tie Clermont Tonnere, and Count de Corbiere ( late Ministers), Members of the Privy Council; and a third, the elevation of De Villele, Peyronnet, and Corbiere, to the dignity of peers of the realm. According to some letters from Paris, it ap- pears an opinion prevails, that the new Ministry will not nave a majority in the Chamber of Deputies. There is a talk about impeaching Villele, on account of some of his financial operations, but more especially for advising the King to create the last numerous batch of peers. PARIS. Jan. 4.— Orders have been given to arm, at Cherburg, with all possible expedition, the cor- vette La Ceres, which is supposed to be destined for the Levant. A levy of marines has, in consequence, been otdered at all the places in the vicinity of this maritime arrondissement — Journal des Debats. JJv the letters from Lisbon, we learn that on th" ISth ult. a very severe shock of earthquake was ex- pt i need, but no damage wrs done. letters received from Constantinople on the departure of the Ambassadors state that the embargo on foreign vessels had been so far modified, as to become applicable only to those laden with provisions. To all other vessels firmans or clearances were readily granted. ZANTE, NOV. 28.— After the allied squadrons had left Navarino, several merchantmen, laden with pro- visions, which were at anchor here, went to Navarino and Modon, where they disposed of their carg > es to great advantage. The greatest tranquility and order prevailed in both places. CORFU, Dec. 4.— The Greek ships under the command of Lord Cochrane have given chase to several well- known pirates in the Levant, and destroyed the most of them. A private letter, dated Sept. 27, 1827, from Capt. Basil Hall to the Right Hon. R. Wilmot Horton, describes the condition of the colonists who have been established in Canada, in pursuance of the experimental plan of emigration. Nothing can be more gratifying than the account he gives of their condition. The Austrian Government are making large contracts: amongst which is one for 20,000 horses. Letters from Malta, of Dec. 1, say that Ad- miral Codrington is taking the most f| ctive measures for the destruction of the Greek pirates. Sir T. Staines, Captain of the Isis, had been ordered, with some other vessels, for this service. An Act of Parliament, passed during the last session, came into operation on Saturday ; by which it is enacted, that parties convicted of offences against the Ex- cise Laws, may appeal to the sessions on depositing the amount of the fine on conviction, and not as hitherto, by entering into recognizances to prosecute the appeal. Any person not attending as a witness in Excise cases, when summoned, will be rendered liable to a penalty of 60/. A final instalment, making 20. t inthe pound, on all deposits and balances due from Messrs Gotch, Sons, and Co. of the Kettering Bank, will be paid on and after the Rth inst. together with the interest due on the deposits and balances. The Rev. D. Davis, Rector of Cliddesden and Farleigh. at his recent tithe audit abated to some of his tenants 12/. per cent, on the amount of their composi- tion. In the course of a few years pasi he has made re- ductions on the same account amounting to more than 26(. per cent. During this winter, the poor surrounding Eaton have been liberally supplied by Lady Grosvenor with blankets, flannel, & c> and at Christmas, Lord Grosvenor caused two tine oxen to be killed and dis- tributed among them. ST. JAMES'S PARK.— The projected improve menu in St. James's Park arc being rapidly carried into execution. The buildings fronting the Park will be handsome and appropriate, and the ground surrounding the interior of the Park will be vastly improved. A multitude, of gardeners are employed in forming the paths, laying out the beds, and planting them with shrubs, & c. and some which they have finished on the Mall side have a very pleasing effect. A number of young trees have also been planted FEMALE FASHIONS.— The most approved co- lours are of lavender- grey, violet, celestial blue, pink, scarlet, jonquil, Indian- red. and amber. The White- Horse Troop of Berkshire Yeo- manry, commanded by Major Craven, have acceded to the offer of Government to continue the services of such troops as may choose to remain embodied without receiv- ing pay. At the nursery grounds of Messes. Howse, at Putney- hill, Surrey, a hawthorn is now in full leaf and covered with bloom, a hich has burst forth during the lajt week in all the luxuriance and bloom of May. This phenomenon has been visited by many of the curious in that neighbourhood. A part} of gentlemen were shooting four days last week on the preserves of W. H. Whitbread, Esq., M. P., in the course of which time they bagged upwards of C04 pheasants. — Herts Mercury. At Chantilly, in France, there is a crocodile si tame that it is caressed with impunity by the keeper, who endeavours ( although, as may be supposed, not often with success) to induce visitors to follow his example. CORN- EXCHANGE, Monday, Jan. 7— The supply of Wheat this morning was by no means lame; bin some quantity remaining over from Friday's market, there^ was on the whole a tolerably large show of samples.

STAMP OFFICE, LONDON. RECEIPT DUTY. NOTICE TO OVERSEERS AND PARISH OFFICERS. ^ I^ HE Commissioners of Stamps having iL reason to believe that Overseers and other Parish Officers, in many parts of England, are in the habit of giving Receipts for Poor and other Rates, amounting to £ 2. and upwards upon Unstamped Paper, and as severaT of such persons against whom the Commissioners have instituted Prosecutiors for the Penalties, have represented that ihey were under an impression, that Receipts for Poor and other Rates were not liable to Stamp Duty, the Commissioners deem it right to give Public Notice, that such Receipts are not exempted by law, but are liable to the same Duties as any other Receipts given upon the Payment of Money ; and that they wiU consequently feel it their duty if any Receipts of this description upon Unstamped Paper shall be transmitted to them, to prose- cute the parlies by whom they are signed, for the Penal- tics. By order of the Commissioners. CHARLES PRESSLY. STAMP OFFICE, 29th Dec. 1827. 1182 BLANDFORD, JANUARY 6, 1828.

Yesterday being appointed by the Infant t) im Miguel to receive an address and medal, which, at u late meeting of the Portuguese gentlemen residing in London, it was determined should be presented to his Royal Highness, congratulatory on his visit to England, a considerable number of Portuguese waited on his Royal Highness, at Rutland House, tfhen the address was read to him, and the medal presented, with appropriate ceremony. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence gave ennther grand entertainment to Don Miguel, yesterday evening, at their residence in the Admiralty. Yesterday the young Portuguese Prince visited the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange, the India House, the Mint, the Tower, & c. On Monday evening the Duke of Wellington gave a grand dinner to his Royal Highness Don Miguel lit his residence in Piccadilly. The different services of plate and china presented to his Grace' by different Courts of Europe, were displayed on this occasion. Princess Lieven gave a grand ball and supper on Monday evening, to his Royal Highness Don Miguel, at Ashburnham House, Dover- street. At Prince Lieven's grand party on Monday last, Lord Holland and His Lordship's daughter were present. Lady Holland, we learn, was unable to attend from indisposition. The anticipated change in the administration excites much interest in the city. It is rumoured that Lord Goderich, Mr. Herries, and possibly the Lord Chancellor will retire; that Lord Holland and another Statesman of similar political sentiments will join the Cabinet; the Attorney- General taking the seals in the event of the retirement of the Chancellor. fly this change it is thought that the Ministry expect to neutra- lise the formidable opposition which it is generally un- derstood has been formed in the Upper House of Parlia- ment. It is reported that in the highest quarter, consent ha « been obtained to this arrangement.— The Record. It is said a qualified consent has been ob- tained for the admission of Lord Holland into the Cabi- net j but it is known, according to the bent political cal- culations, that, unless thirty nro Peers are created, a Ministry so formed cannot meet Parliament— John Hull. It is reported that Lord Lyndhurst will retire, ss Well as Lord Bexley: in that case the present Master of the Rolls will succeed to the seals. Sir Nich. Tyndal may probably go to the Rolls; Sir Jas. Scarlett f with a peerage) to the King's Bench s and Mr. Brougham step in as Solicitor- General. The successor to Lord Bexley, ( it is said) will be Sir William Knighton, whose able ad- ministration of the finances of the privy purse has given him a claim to the highest consideration in the highest quarter— Ibid. His Majesty's ship Falcon, with the Lisbon Mail, is arrived off Falmouth. Advices by this convey- ance to the 30th December, slate, that the Bank of Lis- bon is paying off its small notes, and that arrangements fire making of a more extended nature than will ultimately enable it to meet the other engagements of the establish- ment. Confidence has, in consequence, in some degree, revived. Extracts from the French papers:— CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 11— M. de Ribeaupierre, tvhose embarkment on the ttth we have announced, has j !': yet been able to sail, pli account of the cont/ ary winds. Hie Ambassadors of Fiance and England ap- pear to have passed the Daidanelles without obstacle, fince no report to the contrary has yet been received. A letter of Dec. 11th, says : " Before the Ambassadors embarked, the Sultan caused a great Council to be con- voked, at which about 300 Ulimas attended, and laid before them for consideration the demand of passports nude by the Ambassadors, and the whole course of the late negotiations. The moderation of the Porte before lind after the battle of Navarino was represented as a great concession, and the question was then put whether the Sultan ought to consent to greater humiliations ? The Ulimas, who, till that ( lay, had recommended a conci- liatory policy, answered unanimously, that the Divan bad already gone too far. It was after this result was known, that the Ambassadors resolved to depart without passports. The Porte, however, does not uppear to con- sider itself in an actual state of war ; but its armaments indicate an cnergetic plan of defence, in case of anew fi'. tack by the Allies. If the Russians should pass the Pruth, the Sultan would go to Adrianople."— Augsburg Gazette. BUCHAREST, Dec. 18.— M. de Ribeaupierre was still at Bujukdere, detained by contray winds. VIENNA— The Austria Observer contains the follow- ing:— Accounts from Constantinople of the. 11th Dec. \ ihich we receive by express, inform us that Count Guil- leminot and Mr. Stratford Canning embarked on the Ikh. M. de Ribeaupierre was still at Bujukdere, where the vessels destined to receive liini were anchored before bis hotel, ready to sail for Odessa with the first fair wind. The most complete tranquillity still prevailed in the capital. The preparations for defence were carried on by the Porte with the greatest activity. MADRID, Dec. 27.— It is discovered, and that too from authentic documents, that the Corregidors, Al- caides- Major, and other Civil Authorities of the different tewns and villages in Catalonia, have been engaged in the late conspiracy, and that thirty- one Judges of the Royal Courts are comprised. The banditti increase daily on all the highways of Es- tremadura. Among others is a band of thirty horsemen, remarkable for tho Chief who commands them. This is . a woman named Naranzo, to whom is attributed a de- gree of courage and cruelty which is quite extraordinary. — She met, at the head of her company, a party of Roy- alist Volunteers, amounting to eighty, who were soon beaten and dispersed. She killed six men with her own . hand, and dismissed the seventh, because lie was an old acquaintance. BARCELONA, Dec. 29.— Several new bands have ari- . sen in different parts of Catalonia, and particularly in the Lampourdan : but the terror which the administration of the Count d'Espagne has spread licie is such, that no one dares either to write or speak. The Government troops are again in active service in every district of Catalonia, and this has seriously affected the mind of the King, and he suffers so much in his Iieah'i in constquenee, that he has not quitted his apart- ments lor some days. The Count d'Espagne has just adopted a measure which proves the hatred which he and his party have * a; fai: i3t France. He has prohibited, under severe penal- ties, every sort of inscripiion in French; and under still wore severe penalties the casquettes ( caps of a particular description), because it is supposed that this is a favourite head- dress of the French. On referring to the Treaty of the 6th of July, for the settlement of Greece, it will be found that no specific plan had been agreed t, o in case of the refusal of either of the contending parties to aceept the proposals of J' e Allies, so that Government have yet to arrange with France and Russia the mode of carrying the Treaty into effect. They agree, generally, that neither of die Powers shall, in this" arrangement, seek any augmentation of ter- ritory, my exclusive influence, or any commercial ad vantage for their subjects, which the subjects of any other • nution may not equally obtain ; but they do not provide at all tor such an event as the battle of Navarino; or the departure of the Ambassadors of the three Powers from Constantinople ; or in what way the Porte is to be com- pelled to refrain from all interference with Greece. The Australian newspaper mentions, that the aboriginal natives in the vicinity of Hunter's River had become so troublesome, that many persons were resolved to poison them; and that corrosive sublimate, as one mode of destructiou, had in several instances been pro- vided foT the purpose. Four days after the sanguinary engagement in the bay of Navarino, a gale came on and the swell of the sea threw up numerous bodies of the slain; they ap- peared quite bleached, with bones protruding in every direction ; and the effluvia became very offensive, even before the fleets sailed for Malta. PERU— All monasteries and convents in this State, containing less than eight monks or nuns, are to be immediately dissolved, and no city is to have moie than one establishment for the religious orders. Tl) 3 report of the destruction of the Greek fleet has not been confirmed by later intelligence, and cersiderable doubts are entertained as to its truth. Speaking of ( he altered state of the cities of Indie., Viscount Chateaubriand says, " the carriages of London are now seen travelling, together with palanquins and caravans, the roads of the tiger and the elephant." A Dr. Chierenti in America, affirms, that he effectually cures asthma ( unless it proceeds from organic alteration), by inflating the lungs copiously with atmos- pheric air.

LIVERPOOL— Monday.— There has been a * ery animated demand for cotton to- day, and the sales amount to about 4,000 bags, 2,000 of which, principally Alabamas, have been taken by speculators at 5{ d. to 54rf. per lb., and very full prices have been obtained in the fcHies of the da>.

The falling off in the quarter's Customs is 11,.,../. The most important deficiency is in the Excise, which, as compared with the quarter ending 5th January last year, is 240,983/. On the Stamps there is an increase of 25,564/., and in the Post Office a falling off of 51,000/. The increase of Assessed Taxes on the whole year is 65,531/., and Miscellanies 95,983/. The long prevalence of wet weather proves seriously injurious to the farmer. In the neighbourhood of Sherborne the sheep and lambs are suffering from the rot, and the season has proved extremely fatal to the deer; no fewer than twelve fine bucks have died ill Sherborne Park. AGRICULTURAL REPORT.— The state of the weather lias assumed a very serious aspect. Not only is every description of land throughout saturated with wet to the injury of all vegetation, but thousands of acres of grass land are under water, and the keep upon them rendered useless fbr all kinds of stock. ' I lie latter cir- cumstance, added to the difficulty of folding sheep on turnips, bears very hard on flock- masters. In the North of England grent complaints are made; and at Carlisle great cattle market last week there were not half a dozen beasts deserving the name of beef. In the South also prices of those which are good are very unsatisfactory to the graziers. In the corn market things still remains much in statu quo. Good barley is readier sale, and as the season advances, will fetch more money; and it is thought the same may be said of wheat. Accounts from all quarters of the kingdom concur in stating the damp and unpromising condition of the last year's . gtowth of most sorts of grain. As a proof of the mildness of the late wea- ther, a pair of butterflies were seen in all their usual lus- tre, on Christmas day, in the garden of Mr. W. Hayles, of Orange Cottage, near Newport, Isle of Wight. A report of the Mining Company of Ireland states that the progress of its works is " steady and pros- perous." The profits of the concern arc estimated by the directors at 10j. a share. A tine steam packet, called the Paul Pry, built at Hereford, for service on the river Wye, having had her engines completed, has made an experimental trip from thence to Chepstow. She fully answers every expectation formed of her power. TUB WOOLLEN TRADE.— The buoyancy of this great staple manufacture, and its tendency to right itself after the most severe storms of commercial ad- versity, have been strikingly demonstrated during the year that has just terminated. After the shock of 1826, and even during the latter part of that year, it began to revive, and we doubt whether in any former year therei were ever more woollens made, and smaller stocks accu- mulated than in the year 1827. At present, this branch of trade, as well as the worsted stuff business, is proceed- ing steadily, though not with any great briskness, and the work- people are, in general, well- employed, at rather low wages to be sure, but ( from the moderate i^ te of pro- visions) with as many comforts as they are accustomed to enjiry, and quite as few privations as the severe season of winter generally brings in its train. Long wools are in considerable demand, and the prises are remunerating. The subject of a new duty on the importation of foreign wools is' spoken of by the agriculturists ; and Sir T. D. Acland is expected to bring the measure under considera- tion in the next Session of Parliament; but the enlarged views of his Majesty's present Ministers, combined with those exertions which the manufacturing interest owes to itself, will, we trust, avert this calamity. The be$ t security this couutry has for a good steady trade is in low prices: and while wools are cheap, and the manufactured article sold at a reasonable rate, both at home and abroad, we have little to fear. On the whole, the prospects for trade are generally considered favourable, and it will afford us sincere gratification to find those prospects rea- lized by a year ot prosperity.— Leeds Mercury. Mr. Watkins, a mill wright, of Hereford, lias succeeded in effecting a material improvement in water corn- mills, to which he also attaches a cider- mill for grinding apples. In case of a deficiency of water, Mr. Watkins has so contrived the machinery, that a horse can be attached to work the corn- mill: this will enable the miller to grind for the poor in dry seasons, and is a most desirable improvement. loom STEAM COACHES.— Mr. George Burges, of Baker- street, has published a diagram, to demonstrate that no steam carriage can possibly travel, except on rail roads, or roads formed of equally unyielding materials. He maintains that a steam carriage cannot possibly travel on a road where the materials have been fresh jaid for the purpose of making a new or mending an old road. REMEDY FOR CHILBLAINS.— Take a quantity of unslacked lime, mix it with boiling water, till it has a chalky consistence ; then hold the hands or feet in the water, as warm as it can bear it. Do this a few times and the chilblains will quickly disappear. A gentleman residing in the East Indies, much afflicted with the Ringworm, states, that, after trying all the remedies recommended by every class of practitioners, he experienced immediate relief from the topioal application of castor oil. A shrub has been discovered in our new In- dian territories, from whose stem, when divided, there issues a copious vegetable spring of limpid and wholesome water. The natives know this well, and hence we rarely meet with an entire plant. _ It is a powerful climber, and is quite new and non- descript.— Times. VALUABLE MANURE.— The refuse matter of gas- works, called coal- tar, when mixed with chalk, sand, & c. has been found to be a powerful and excellent manure for arable land. In a letter from Mr. Scott, jun. of Bombay, lie says, that during the first twelve days of the rainy season, 32 inches of rain fell, and that then nil the loads became like livers. In England the average fall for the whole year is 32 inches— the quantity which fell a, t'Bom- bay in twelve days! In order to brim; down to the Lake of Lucerne the wood from a large pine forest oil the skirts of Mount Pilatus, 9000/. have been expended in erecting a slide of singular construction. Its length is 44,000 English feet, and the difference of level at its two extremities is about 2600 feet. It is a wooden trough, five feet broad, and four deep. The large pines, with their branches cut off, are placed one at a time in the slide, and descending by their own gravity, they acquire such all impetus in their progress, that they perform their journey of eijjht mile* and a quarter ill six minutes, and in wet weather, in three minutes 1 FORTITUDE.—" How do you find yourself, Mrs. Judy?" said a St. Bartholomew's surgeon, after taking off the arm of an Irish basket woman—" How do I find myself? why, without my arm— how the d— 1 else should I find myself?" was Mrs. Judy's reply.— London Medical Gazette.

Early oil the morning of the 12th, there was a thick fog, which gave out a very strong sulphurous smell— the 29th was also distinguished by a coU dense fog through- out the day and night. The lost spring tides were high in Portsmouth Har- bour, and along the Southern Court; also at Liverpool, and along the Western Coast, in consequence of so great a fall of rain, with accompanying South and South- west gales. The rain on the 18th, 19th, and 20th, continued 50 hours, without intermission. On the 21st and 22d, thunder storms, with lightning and hail, were experi- enced in several places in Hampshire. The maximum temperature of the external air oc- curred in the nights of the 3d, 7th, 9th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 21st, and 23d, instead of in the days. The mean temperature of the external air this month is 5J degrees higher than the mean of December for the last twelve years; and is also, for that period, unpre- cedented. WINDSOR—- Wednesday.— Yesterday after-- rdoh, itt two O'clock, Lord Goderich arrived at the Royal Lodge, and had a conference with his Majesty until four o'clock, when his Lordship took leave, anil returned to town. Immediately after his Lordship's de- parture, the Lord Chancellor arrived, and had a long audience of his Majesty, after which his Lordship re- turned to town. After inspecting the Tower yesterday, Prince Miguel proceeded to the Thames tunnel, where Mr. Brunei, the engineer, and Mr. Brunei, jun., conducted him down this stupendous undertaking. His Royal High- ness remained in the tunnel upwards of half an hour. The papers relative to the affair at Navarin, and the correspondence between the Allied Ambassadors and the Sublime Porte, which his Majesty's Ministers intend to lay before both Houses of Parliament, have been printed under the superintendence of Earl Dudley and his Private Secretary, Mr. Stapleton, at the Foreign Office. Accounts are received from Alexandria to the 8th of November. They confirm the report of the death of Hassan Bey. It appears that the Pacha had ordered him to Cairo, as he had fallen under his dis- pleasure ; he immediately ordered the cadets anil seamen on shore, and fired a pistol into the magazine. No damage was sustained by the shipping, though the ex- plosion was dreadful. The accounts from Navarino state that fourteen small vessels weie saved, and that a new frigate of sixty guns was reparable. There was no British ship of war at Alexandria; a large frigate was off the port, watching two Algerine frigates, The Pacha con- tinued warlike preparations. BUCHAREST, Dec. 17.— The Ambassadors of England, France, and Russia, before their departure from Constantinople, wrote to their Consuls in this city, that they were notwithstanding to remain at their posts. Many infer from this, that for the present no change will take place in the principalities. THE QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS.— This morning the Dividends which became due on the 5th instant, on Three per Cent. Consols, the New Four per Cents., and other Government Annuities, commenced paying at the Bank of England. The amount of the interest to be paid to the fundholders, for the last quarter, exceeds nine millions sterling, being much greater than the sum quired to liquidate the interest on that portion of the debt, the dividends on which became due at Michaelmas. The attendance on the part of the public at the dividend offices, this morning, was not near so great as on the three or four previous occasions; from which an inference may be drawn, that money is not quite so much in de- mand as formerly. A correspondent says that the Lord Chan- cellor was engaged for five hours on Sunday night, at his house, in George- street, Hanover- square, with a Gentle- man from his Majesty— Morning Herald. It is said that the Earl of Roseberry will be created a British Peer. Mr. Bolland is expected to succeed the late Mr. Nolan, as one of the Welsh Judges. It is said that Lord Auckland is to be the Chairman of Committees in the House of Lords next Session, vice Lord Shaftesbury. VVe have authority to mention, that Lord Chief Justice Best is rapidly recovering from his late severe attack of gout, and positively intends taking his seat on the adjournment day, the 18th of January Morning Herald. It has been remarked as somewhat extra- ordinary, that the Secretary of State for the Home De- partment has not been present at any of the royal or noble entertainments given to Don Miguel— M. Herald. Don Miguel's name is variously pronounced: the cocknies call him Macgill; the Irish politicians, My Jewel. The French performances at the English Opera- House are announced, and the Company have arrived. Monsieur Perlet is to act on the first night in Tartuffe. The private boxes present a list of names of the highest rank and fashion in the kingdom. There are eighty- one nominations for the great Doncaster Saint Leger Stakes this year, being nine less than for those of last year.

The new colonnade intended for Drury- lane Theatre is to be supported by pillars of cast iron." The Times contradicts the statement that the Duchess of Berri is about to be married to Lord Clan- william. The recent floods and high tides have washed away upwards of fifty feet of the wall of the Duke of Buckingham's marine villa, at Ryde. The public should be on their guard against counterfeit sovereigns and half sovereigns, many being in circulation. At a Catholic meeting held in Dublin on Wednesday, Mr. O'Connell moved that a petition to the House of Commons which he had drawn up, sholild be inserted in the public papers; avd he recommended that a copy of it should be submitted for signatures to every Catholic congregation in Ireland, by the parish priest, oil Sunday the 13th instant.. The petition, in strong and firm language, prays the House " to grant to the Catho- lics in Ireland that equalization of civil rights with the other subjects of this realm, which can be attained only by the concessioh of total, unqualified, and unconditional Emancipation." Mr. O'Connoll observed, that the sig- natures of the entire Catholic population of Ireland would thus be simultaneously obtained, and that the presenting of a petition so signed could hardly fail of success. If the petition were rejected in the House of Commons, it would be quite idle to petition the Lords. Parliament met on the 22d of January, and the Catholics ought to expect tiiat their Bill would be read twice before the recess. There could be no doubt that the majority of the Cabinet was in favour of that Bill— and the formation of that Cabinet showed how much a Royal Personage had been maligned Another simultaneous meeting might be held when the Bill had passed the Commons. The learned gentleman concluded by proposing the following resolu- tion :—" That a Mission to England, to explain and sus- tain the Civil and Religious Opinions of the Catholics of Ireland, would, in our opinion, be calculated to do much service to the public cause." Mr. O'Connell's first motion was agreed to unani- mously, hut the latter resolution was objected to by se. veral persons present. Mr. Coppinger thought it would be a degradation to the Catholic religion— the religion of five- sixths of Europe — to go now to explain it to the people of England. Mr. Lawless also opposed the resolution; but it was carried by a vast majority, there being, on a show of hands, only half a dozen in support of it. ELOPEMENT.— An elopement occurred in this neighbourhood about a fortnight , ago. The parties were a young lady, daughter of a gentleman whose family had been residing some months past at our Spa, and a young mail well known for the last few years as a waiter at a boarding- house in the same vieinity. The acquaint- ance, which we understand was as much as three weeks old, was brought about through the medium of a female servant in the lady's family. At a very early hour on the appointed morning, the young lady was let out of her father's house by the confidante, and joining her lover, proceeded to a chaise and four which was in waiting on the Bristol road, in which they were rapidly conveyed to Bedminster, near Bristol, where the marriage ceremony was performed. Immediately afterwards they returned with speed to this city, which they reached about one o'clock in the afternoon, and the . voting lady rejoined her family without any suspicion being excited. At a late hour at night the bridegroom was admitted to the house, taking his departure before the family weie stir- ring in the morninp; and thus matters were carried on some days, when the affair was found out by a brother, in- law of the lady. A scene was the consequence ; the lady's friends attempted to detain her, but the bride- groom boldly demanded her as his property ; Rnd we hear that the happy pair have since proceeded to Bristol. The lady's father was in France when the circumstance took place.— Gloucester Journal. A considerable sensation lias been excited at Gloucester by the recent elopement of a young lady from the Spa Hotel. ( See above.) The lady in question is Miss Daniel, a young lady of 19 years of age, posses- sing considerable personal attractions, and a fortune of nearly 20,000/. independent of her relations.' She is the daughter of a learned Counsel of that name, who was at this time absent from the neighbourhood, the young lady being on a visit to her elder sister. The object of her choice was a very handsome lad of about her own age, named Robertson, whose father is the proprietor of a respectable boarding- house situate near the Spa Hotel.— Times. Preventive against Birds taking Seeds out of the Ground.— If some thin light- coloured twine or white worsted be stretched tight across the beds in which seeds are sown, at the distance of about two inches from the surface of the beds, and about two or three feet from string to string, small birds will not touch either seeds or the young plants of onions, against which sparrows seem to have a particular spite, as they pull them up by hun- dreds, and leave them lying upon the surface of the beds, but do not appear to eat them. This is the most effectual method I have ever seen employed, and it is a very old one.— Gardeners' Magazine for January. The bell called Great Tom, of Lincoln, weighing 96 cwt. 3 qr. 18 lbs., which hangs in the north tower of Lincoln Cathedral, and which for melody and loudness of tone could not be surpassed, ( having been frequently heard in a still day at the distance of eight miles from Lincoln,) is cracked ! The fissure extends one foot on that part of the bell upon which the hammer of the clock lias usually struck, and no hopes are enter- tained of its being remedied. An extraordinary instance of fecundity has occurred at Briantspiddle, Dorset, in the dairy of Mr. Win. Runyard, one of whose cows produced on Christ- mas day 2 heifer calves, and in the course of the follow- ing night another: all of them are alive and promising. In searching, the other day, the records of the borough of Hertford, there was found among them a do- cument, affixed to which was the mark of the Mayor of that town, in the reign of Elizabeth, who wai incapable of writing his name. CORN- EXCHANGE, Jan. 9.— The Mealing trade was extremely dull this morning, although the frost has made the samples of Wheat feel quite different from what they were on Monday, owing td the large arrival of Flour ( 10,700 sacks); but Monday's prices were consi- dered by all to be the quotation. Barley is not so brisk, as high prices were demanded, but 83s. per quarter were fuUy maintained. Oats were dull in the extreme: not a sale has been effected. In other artieles no alteration. De Lisle, or, the Sensitive Man, which has just been published in London, is a Novel of the Tre- maine and De Vere class, and seems to engross the entile attention of the higher literary circles. " It is a Novel ( says the Atlas weekly journal) of the most extraordinary fertility t the Creations of the author's brain are innume- rable: we never met in the same compass— and it is no small one— sb many characters, so many incidents, such a mass of matter- of- fact fiction. Since all the people are young and fashionable ; since there is love of every de- scription described and exemplified ; since marriages take place two generations deep, under every variety of feeling ; since many of the events are tragical; since accomplish- ments and beauty abound in all shapes; since, in short it is a good picture of all that happens, between the ages of eighteen and twenty- eight, among a large aristocratical connexion, it must assuredly be a popular book with all lovers of Novels. It is, in truth, the book of matri- mony." ATLAS ASSURANCE COMPANY of LONDON, Instituted 1808, and empowered by an Act of Parliament of the 54 Geo. III.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK.— The Fanny pac- ket vessel, from St. Maloes to Jersey, was lost on the 1st instant. Upon reaching Jersey roads, she struck upon a rock near the little green island off the Fold, and sunk instantly. In the number of those ascertained to have perished, are— Lord Harley ( son of the Earl of Oxford), Captain and Mrs. Fitzgerald ( married only three weeks), with an adopted child ( Miss Murray, daughter of a Dr. Murray), Mrs. Duval, and Master Collins, of the library. EXEMPLARY ECONOMY.— A few weeks since were distributed among the poor of the parish of Grim- stone, in the county of Norfolk, including some of the inhabitants of two or three adjoining parishes, one hun- dred and forty pair of blankets, one thousand and one yards of sheeting, fifty- five counterpanes, five hundred and twenty- eight yards of bed ticking, five hundred and forty yards of shirting, two thousand and twenty- four yards of calico, two hundred and eighty- eight yards of stuff, one thousand three hundred and twenty yards of cotton check for bed hangings, and one hundred and forty- four yards of flannel. All these articles were the purchase of a fund produced by subscriptions of three- pence per week each by the poor themselves. The eco- nomy of these poor people is most praiseworthy as many of them have very large families and but slender means of subsistence. If the same system were generally adopted in parishes, the increase of comfort to the poor would be incalculable. The Murder in Montague place.— Mr. Halls, the magistrate, and the officers employed ill this myste- rious business, still continue unremitting in their exertions to bring the perpetrators to justice. The officers report every morning the course they have adopted, and the results of the inquiries they have made 011 the previous day, and receive fresh instructions from the magistrate. We are sorry, however, to state, that as yet no light has been thrown upon it. It will be remembered that on the night the murder was discovered, Mr. and Mrs. Lett were sent for 111 gieat haste from Dulwich, and on their arrival in Montague- place, they examined the house, and missed a consider- able quantity of plate, which they had left in the care of the deceased. The 100m was searched by the officers, but the plate could not be found. The next morning, in the presence of the magistrates, the bed of the deceased was removed from the bedstead, and betweeri the mat- trass aml bed- sacking was found all the plate in question, except two silver spoons and a pair of sugar- tongs, which were commonly used by the deceased. With the plate was a nutmeg- grater, which on being examined was found to contain three sovereigns. At Mary- le- bone Office, on Monday, Elijah Daniels was charged by his brother, Mr. John Daniels, of Dilton Marsh, near Westbury, Wilts, with breaking open his house on the 16th of December, and stealing plate, money, and goods to a considerable amount A considerable part of the stolen property was produced by two pawnbrokers, who proved that the prisoner had pledged it in fictious names. He confessed his guilt, and was ordered to be removed to Wiltshire to take his trial at the ensuing assizes. A reward of 100/. is offered for a discovery of the murderer or murderers of Elizabeth Jeffs. Robert Taylor is to take his trial on a second indictment for blasphemy, on Tuesday the 15th instant, and on a third indictment, for a conspiracy to blaspheme 011 the 16th instant. COMMON INFORMERS.—( From a Bath paper.) — Our city has for some months past been infested by several unprincipled vagabonds, who have been laying the unwary under contributions by qui- tam informations on various penal statutes, to recover penalties for non- compliance with the various provisions therein contained. The informers are wretches of the lowest description, and most abandoned characters. By the facilities afforded these scoundrels, they have been but too successful in ex- torting money from persons who have not the knowledge or the nerve to resist this nefarious traffic. The plan of these fellows is, to obtain a magistrate's summons for in- dividuals, for alleged offences against the Stage Coach Act, and various other Acts of Parliament, and after- wards to offer to compound the offence for a sum of money, which their victims almost invariably pay, even sometimes when knowing themselves perfectly innocent,— from the difficulty of rebutting the testimony of the infor- mers, not being able, from a variety of causes, to produce witnesses, and their own evidence not being admissible. A common informer has laid informations against several persons of Barnstaple, who have ill con- sequence heen served with Exchequer Writs, for selling plate, patent medicines, perfumery, & c. without license. At the Maidstone assizes on Monday, the Court was occupied upwards of six hours in the trial of G. Augustus Goodwin, for perjury. The defendant had described himself as a butcher at Sutton Vallance, and an affidavit was made that he was receiving parish relief. The jury found the defendant guilty, and he was sen- tenced to two years' imprisonment in the House of Cor- rection. Three men, named Richard Whithorne, Jacob Perry, and Wm. Smith, have been committed to Glou- cester gaol for trial, charged with the murder of R. Rounce, gamekeeper to H. Waller, Esq., at Turksdean, 011 the 26th of November. A serious affray took place, a few nights since, in the High- street, Newport, Isle of Wight, between the military and some young men of the town, in which se- veral of both parties were badly wounded. A desperate affray took place 011 Friday night between a party of the blockade service and a gang of smugglers. The latter were conveying away a cargo of spirits that had just been landed by a lugger near Bex- hill, when forty men of the coast blockade, well armed, pursued and attacked them, but were repulsed, after a severe fight, in which two men 011 each side were killed, and several were badly wounded. The smugglers were much more numorous than their opponents, and some of them had fire- arms. Every exertion is making to bring some of the desperados to justice. MANSION- HOUSE.— Fertile Mother.— A. case was heard before his Lordship, in the nature of an appli- cation for parochial relief, which, had he been present, must inevitably have driven Mr. Malthus " clean daft," as the Scotch say. The applicant was a Jewess, not quite four feet high, but of excellent proportion, and displaying remarkable juvenility of countenance— The little woman, having dropped a rather graceful curtsey, intimated that she was anxious to know by what means she could compel the parish officers of Whitechapel to allow her sortii maintenance for her children. " Children!" exclaimed the Lord Mayor, looking with surprise at the miniature before him. " It is even so, my Lord," replied Mr. Hobler, " and what is still more extraordinary, she has had no less than nineteen ! but some of them are dead. I have ascertained that she had her first child before she was 15 years old." Lord Mayor— And how old may she be now ? I pro- test she looks like a little girl— nineteen children ! Mr. Hobler— Tell his Lordship your age. Applicant— I am thirty- six years old. Mr. Hobler then said that her father was a respectable man, and if he knew his child was reduced to such dis- tress it would probably break his heart, as he was not as well able to assist her now as he had formerly been. The father of all those children was at present in White- cross- street prison, and he had been following this little creature for nearly twelve months before lie could get her to comply with his desires, and she was then only 14. Five of the children were born in Whitechapel parish, and the overseers had for some time allowed her 7s. 6d. per week for them, but this was stopped, and when she went 10 them again, they merely gave her 5s. without paying the arrears, refusing to give any further relief. The Lord Mayor ordered her some money out of the office box for present use, regretting that he had no con- trol over the officers of her parish, and advising her to apply to the Magistrates of Lambeth- street- office. On Wednesday, in consequence of some sus- picion, a neatly covered trunk, which had been lodged in a public- house, in a street near to the quay, was opened, and found to contain two dead bodies, that of a man and child ; and the same day, a large box, which had been brought to a public- house in North- street, was also ex- amined, and found to contain the bodies of a woman and child. I11 the evening, two very genteel young men called at the house in North- street, and made inquires about the box, when they were immediately taken into custody by police officers. After being detained all night, they were examined yesterday by the Sovereign and Mr. Skinner, who, after a minute investigation, liberated them, as no prosecutor appeared, nor were any facts produced to implicate them in the transaction.— Yesterday the two young men were recognized in the neighbourhood of the quay, on their way to take their passage^ by the steam- boat, for Glasgow ; they were in- stantly surrounded by the mob, and received a most un- merciful pelting with mud and stones.— Belfast Chron. At the Old Bailey Sessions, in October 1740, Wm. Duell was capitally convicted of a rape 011 Sarah Griffin, at Acton, and received sentence of death. He, with four others, was executed at Tyburn, and, as was then the custom, his body was given to tiie surgeons for dissection, and was accordingly brought to their hall. Being a remarkably powerful man, it was determined to anatomize the body, and preparatory to dissection it was laid on the board. The surgeons' attendants proceeded to wash him immediately before the introduction of the knife, when one of the operating personages suddenly called out that he breathed! Tile vital spark was ob- viously not extinct, although it was remarked that he had been suspended more than fifty minutes; and his breath coming quicker and quicker, and with it a pal- pable pulsation, a surgeon took several ounces of blood from the wretched - n, and in two hours he was so much, recovered as sit upright ill a chair. As this was quite a " new case" in the school of anatomy, the practitioners were posed ; but at last they determined on restoring him to gaol, and to Newgate he was carried. He was afterwards transported for life. HUMANITY. TO those in the habit of reading the dis- tresses of their fellow creatures, and particularly to that sex which in all ages and nations have ever been among the foremost in the work of humanity, is this advertisement most earnestly and respectfully addressed, from an hapless, pennyless Man, left solely dependent upon a father- in- law, and an elder brother, who sorely make him feel his dependence, unable to bear up against " the pelting of the pityless storm," or any longer to run the gauntlet of family reproach or disquietude, from having somewhat rashly— somewhat blameably, perhaps — though in pure affection, married one deservedly dear to him, though of inferior station, made the pretext by his relations for a conduct and an exclusion which makes existence a burden— every day adding a new infliction to his sufferings, and a bitterness to her whose comfort would give to life its highest value— now too far advanced in a state where every tender care becomes absolutely necessary. To relieve himself from this state of misery, and God knows, being in the utmost destitution, the Advertiser is seeking to raise Fifty- five Pounds, the possession of which would put him in the way of getting his bread in an humble but honest calling, and enable him yet, under the blessing of Providence, to taste the sweets of industry, independence, and self- respect, in a snug cot— a smiling family— and a cheerful fire- side. Ye generous Philan- thropists considering among the number of persons that will see this appeal, how speedily the relief might be ob- tained by a small contribution from but a few, it kindles a hope. The godlike spirit and christian sympathy that swell your hearts will not suffer this address to be made in vain.

IT is asserted that M. de Champigny, Field- Marshal, Aid- de- Camp of the Dauphin, has just been entrusted with the regulation of the Army, un- der the direction of his Royal Highness. TRIESTE, Dec. 20.— We learn, by ships lately arrived from the Levant, that the news of the burning of the Greek fleet at Scio amounts to nothing more than the destruction of a few small vessels near the port of Mironi, and elsewhere. Letters announce the surrender of the fort of Scio. This news, though not official, is very probable, for we know that the bombardmeut had commenced, and every day caused tires in the fort. To this non- official news we must add that of the capitulation of Patras, and that of the sailing of the expedition against Candia. BIRTH.— On the 8th inst. the lady of the Rev. Charles Phillott, vicar of Frome, of a daughter. London, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11. DISSOLUTION OF THE MINISTRY. Lord Goderich's Administration has at length been dissolved. His Lordship's visit to the King on Tuesday was for the purpose of tendering his resignation, which was accepted. On Wednesday the Lord Chancellor and the Duke of Wellington went to Windsor, and had long audiences of his Majesty. The Chancellor returned to town to attend a Cabinet Council which had been pre- viously summoned, and which was supposed to be their last meeting. The London journals give various reasons for the breaking up of the Ministry; all that is at present known, however, is, that the Duke of Wellington has received his Majesty's directions on the subject, and his Grace may consequently be supposed to be taking some steps in furtherance of those directions ; but up to a late hour last night no decided step had been resolved on. What they may be can be only matter of conjecture at present; but some well- informed persons are of opinion that his Grace's endeavours will be employed to construct a liberal rather than ar. exclusive Tory Administration. Mr. Peel arrived at his residence in Privy- gardens yesterday, and was visited by the Duke of Wel- lington in the course of the day. The Earl of Eldon arrived in town yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, abost half- past two o'clock, the Marquis of Wellesley left town in his travel- ling carriage, with out- riders, for the purpose it was un- derstood, of attending the King at the Royal Lodge. Yesterday the Marquess Wellesley visited the Marquess Lansdown at the Home Office; and Mr. Huskisson had a conference yesterday with Viscount Goderich at his residence in Downing- street. It is reported that the Earl of Harrowby is offered the situation of President of the Council.— Mr. Peel visited the Marquis Wellesley on Thursday last. The Times paper of yesterday asserted that the differences in the Cabinet have arisen from the de- termination of Mr. Huskisson to enforce a system of economy, and to render the public accounts plain and intelligible; that, from the plan of Finance proposed by Mr. Huskisson, as well as from the nomination of Lord Althorp as the Chairman of the Finance Committee, Mr. Herries, and Mr. Herries alone, dissented— and his op- position is said to have been so decided and unsurmount- able, that Mr. Huskisson declared that they could no longer both continue members of the same Government. The Courier of yesterday, in noticing the above assertion in the Times, says, " We claim the com- plete confidence of the public, when we assert, that no plan of finance lias been proposed by Mr. Huskisson from which Mr. Herries has dissented,' ( From Thursday's Morning Herald.)— Yes- ttrday morning the Lord Chancellor and the Duke of Wellington attended the King at the Royal Lodge. Both these distinguished personages waited on his Majesty, it is understood, by command. The Lord Chancellor ar- rived in London between four and five o'clock, and pro- ceeded to attend a meeting of the Cabinet Council, which had been sitting nearly an hour previous to the arrival in town of the Learned Lord. The Cabinet Council was very thinly attended by its members, there being only about half the number of the members present— viz.: eight, and the Cabinet is composed of fifteen. The Chan- cellor of the Exchequer was one of the absentees, although the Right Hon. Gentleman was in the office opposite to where the Cabinet Council was sitting. The Marquis of Lansdowne did not come to town to attend the meeting of the Cabinet Council. We give it as a rumour in the offi- cial circles, at the breaking up of the Cabinet Council, that the Ministry would not meet any more in Cabinet— and. Sn fact, that it was dissolved. The Duke of Clarence held a Levee at the Admiralty yesterday, which was attended by a long list of Naval Officers. His Royal Highness Don Miguel yesterday inspected his Majesty's Stud in the Mews at Pimlico. Mr. Russell has offered himself to start for Durham on Mr. Lambton's elevation to the Peerage. The only news in the Paris papers of Wed- nesday of any importance is the announcement that the Polish army had begun its march towards Southern Rus- sia, in order to take a share in the anticipated hostilities against the Turks. NUREMBERG, Dec. 30.- An English Messenger who passed through this city yesterday, stated that he came from Corfu, where the English Ambassador, Mr. Stratford Canning, had already arrived from Contanti- nople, and by whom he had been sent with despatches to Sir Henry Wellesley, English Ambassador at Vienna, whence he was to proceed by way of Frankfort to London. M. de Ribeaupierre is said to have arrived at Odessa, and to have sent from that place a courier to St. Petersburgh. Count Guilleminot, the French Ambassador, proceeded directly to Toulon, in a Sardinian vessel. Letters re- ceived from Vienna yesterday, state, that after the de- parture of the three Ambassadors, Baron d'Ottenfels, seconded by the Ambassadors of Prussia, the Netherlands, and Sweden, continued to negotiate with the Divan for the preservation of peace. VIENNA, Dec. 20.— It appears that after all the negotiations to obtain the acceptance of the interven- tion in the affairs of Greece, the Porte had again catego rically declared that It would not hear of a pacification to be effected by such means.— Allgemeine Zeitung. In the event of a war with Turkey, several corps of tile Polish Army have petitioned to be employed with their Russian brethren in arms, and it is said the Emperor Nicholas has signified his approbation. Letters from Spain mention a rumour that General Paez has offered the support of all his troops to the Cabinet, for the purpose of making Venezuela again a Colony of Spain. PLYMOUTH.— Don Miguel is expected next week at Saltram, the scat of Earl Morley, where his Royal Highness is to reside during his stay at this port. The Portuguese ships of war Tiger & Pearla, on their way to Plymouth to wait the arrival of Don Miguel, have been lying in Torbay during the week, wind bound. The six English seamen, who were serving in the Turkish fleet, at the battle of Navarin, and who were brought to England in the Genoa, are ordered to be discharged, haying satisfactorily proved that they were detained against their inclination in the Turkish service. So deep is the veneration of the Jews for the soil of Palestine, that it is a universal practice among them, in all countries in which they have been scattored, to turn their eyes toward Jerusalem when they offer up their prayers. Many pious Jews, as soon as they can afford it, retire to Jerusalem to die, in order that their bodies may be laid in that beloved spot. We learn from a modern traveller, that the Jews at Jerusalem pay an annual tribute to the Turks for the privilege of spending an hour every Friday afternoon in mournful silence, on Mount Moriah. It is their practice in ail countries to procure packages of earth from Jerusalem, small portions of which are invariably sprinkled over the eyes of a de- ceased person, previous to closing the coffin. A. very poor and very miserable young man, clad in the tattered remains of what had once been de- cent and even fashionable clothing, applied at Bow- street on Wednesday for the means of reaching Exeter or Cheltenham, where bis friends resided. He said he had been a surgeon- dentist in Exeter, and had unluckily failed in business; lie came to town with a view to obtain some employment, but found none. He was pennyless, friendless, and houseless; and, for the last meal that he had enjoyed, which was two davs pre- viously, he had been compelled to pawn the shirt from off this back. His eyes, it appeared, had always been weak, and the extreme told of the preceding night, which he had spent in the open air, and want of food, had so injured them, that he was obliged to have re- course to the arm, of a casual stranger to guide him to tile presence of the Magistrate. What did the Magistrate in this case ? We often hear of his poor box and of the donations Rati fines that slip into it. Was no part of its content! appropriated to the poor man's immediate wants ? Sir Richard gave the miserable applicant a lciture on his improvidence on coming to London, told him the story of the boy who thought the streets of Lon- don were paved with gold, from the last edition of Whit- tington ami his Cat, and dismissed the poor blind peti- tioner to find his way to Queen- square, and to get relief there if he could '— New Times. MARCH OF INTELLECT.— A very few days ago a poor little chimney sweep begrimed with soot, and his teeth as white as dominoes, went into a gunsmith's shop in the New- road, and asked the price of a dozen bullets for duelling pistols. " Eight- pence," replied the shop- keeper. " But what do you want with duelling bullets ?" 4> Oh !" rejoined the little grinning black imp, " I only want a dozen or two just to practice with !" handing as he spoke, a shilling to the shopkeeper, who gave him the dozen bullets. He was about to give him the four- pence in change, when Blackey said, " I do not like to be bur- thened with halfpence in my pocket; so give me t'other half dozen bullets!"

The India papers last received, contain an account of a complimentary mission sent by Lord Am- herst, during his excursion in the upper provinces of Bengal, to Runjit Sinh, the chief of the Sikh nation. The deputation, escorted by n troop of native cavalry, and a company of infantry, arrived at Amritser, the an- cient capital of Panjab, on the 211th of May, after a hot but pleasant march. They had their first audience of the Maharajah on tile following day, when the gentlemen were much pleased with their reception, Runjit Sinh sat surrounded by his principal Sirdars, all clothed in amber- coloured silk, girt with handsome arms, and adorned with splendid jewels. The presents sent to him by the Governor- General consisted of elephants and horses, with their caparisons, a sabre, a gun, a pair of pistols, a tele- scope, and various articles of European manufacture. The Maharajah himself is described as a short thin per- son, with gray beard and mustachios. _ Having lost his eye by the small- pox, his countenance is net so prepos- sessing as it otherwise would be, but it evinces intellec- tual energy and command. At the time of the visit of the mission, Amritser wore the appearance of a fortified city, and a regular force of 25,000 men was encamped round the walls. All the corps were at exercise morning and evening. The brigade of infantry, under the French officers, is described as being a remarkably fine and well disciplined body of men. The inhabitants of Madras have determined upon erecting a statue at that Presidency, to perpetuate the memory of their late Governor, Sir Thomas Munro. THE SINKING FUND.— The sums invested in the last year, in aid of the Sinking Fund, amount to 4,229,219/. 9s. ' id. The Report on Prison Discipline states, that one thousand seven hundred persons have been confined annually, during seven years, for offences against the Game Laws. The Duchess of Hamilton has sent 100 carts of coals, to be given to the poor of the town and parish of Hamilton, which at this season of the year has indeed proved a very great blessing. The farmers on the estate drove them to the door gratis. In the Rath theatre on Wednesday evening. Miss Cooke and Mrs. Ashton, while performing on wires upon the stage, were precipitated; from; a height of 10 or 11 feet, ( owing to the slipping of an iron pinion in the ma- chinery), and were much hurt. Miss Cooke's ancle was dislocated and her leg fractured, and Mrs. Ashton was severely injured in her chest. INFANTS' SCHOOL.— On Monday, a very nu- merous public meeting was held at the assembly room, in Taunton, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Committee appointed at the last meeting. Sir T. B. Lethbridge, Bart. M. P., having been unani- mously called to the chair, observed, that his own feelings unquestionably were favourable to an infants' school con- ducted on broad and liberal principles. Tile report of the committee, however, had frustrated his hope of recon- ciling the subsisting differences of opinion, and he should therefore only repeat his former declaration— that though he felt bound to support the school, as originally proposed, to the full extent, of his promise, lie should nevertheless bestow every possible assistance in cherishing a school the governing religious principles of which were to be those of the Established Church. He had thus candidly, and he hoped satisfactorily, explained his feelings and motives, which he trusted were those which every honest man would approve. ( Applause.) W. Davis, Esq. read the Report, which recommended that the children of the Church of England, and those of other sects, should be respectively instructed in their characteristic tenets at such times during the week as their parents should prescribe. The Rev. H, Bower moved the 1st resolution, to the effect that an Infants' School, on the principles of the Church of England, should be established. This was seconded by the Rev. H. Gale. Mr. H. J. Leigh rose to move an amendment to the first resolution, and, in so doing, lamented that the efforts of the Committee had failed in reconciling the differences to adjust which they were constituted. The school at Exeter was established on a broad, liberal basis, and no apprehension was there entertained of danger accruing to the Established Church from Infants of two to six years of age being taught doctrines incon- sistent with its interests . The appetites of those persons must be eager and prurient indeed, who were not satisfied with the genuine principles of religion proposed to be taught, and in which all concurred ; and it was quite idle to seek to embarrass the minds of children with articles of Faith and points of Doctrine which they cannot under- stand. The book of eternal life would be before them, and that would be sufficient for their religious instruction, in addition to the other features of education agreed on. It particularly behoved the Church of England, of which he was as staunch a supporter as any one present, to f « l- in with the prevailing views of the age, and not by in- temperate rigour unnecessarily to provoke hostility to- wards it. Mr. Leigh then read the following amendment —" That the original Infants' School having been insti- tuted under the united judgments of Churchmen and Dissenters, established Clergy and Dissenting Ministers, upon the principle of extending its benefits to professing Christians of every denomination, this meeting sees no reason for establishing an Infants' School upon the prin- ciples of the Church of England, exclusively, until the original school shall have been found deficient in the beneficial results contemplated at its formation." Mr. Bunter seconded the amendment. Dr. Kinglake, in an eloquent address, urged the im propriety of making doctrinal points a barrier to the moral improvement of the youthful mind. The Hon. Chairman put the amendment, which was carried by a very large majority. The Rev. H. Bower's resolution was then put pro forma, and the Chairman pronounced the opinion of the Meeting to be in favour of Mr. H. J. Leigh's amendment. Thanks were moved to the Hon. Baronet for his ex- lellent conduct in the chair. The Chairman returned thanks, and intimated that, in all probability, the estab- lishment of another School, notwithstanding the result of: the present Meeting, would be attempted. POOLE, Jan. 9.— A remarkable proof of the great increase which has taken place in the value of pro- perty and particularly of public houses in this town, during the last century, was given at the Guildhall, on Wednesday last, when the Angel Inn, belonging to the Corporation, of which a lease was granted by them in 1729, for 99 years, at the trifling rent of bl. per annum, was put up to be let to the best bidder for a term of 21 years, and after a severe contest between several brewers and others, taken by Messrs. Joseph and James King, for that term, at the annual rent of 170/. BRIDPORT, Jan. 9.— During the heavy rains of last week, the waters of this neighbourhood rose to an unprecedent height, and Mary- bridge, which crosses the river, was entirely washed away. Many valuable and rare shrubs weie carried off by the flood, from a shrub- bery at the east end of the town. Another melancholy instance of children's suffering from the neglect of their parents occurred at Bridport on Monday night. A mother left her children, with no one to look after them, in a room with a fire in it, whilst she went te work. The clothes of one of them, a little girl, caught fire, and she was so dreadfully burnt that, after lingering in the greatest agony until 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, she expired. The new Church at Brighton will be conse- crated on the 24th, and opened on the 25th inst., with a Musical Festival. It is expected that the Rev. T. Cooke, M. A., Oriel College, Oxford, and chaplain to the Earl of Malmesbury, will be appointed minister. Tire suits in Chancery instituted against the Corporation of Winchester, are placed in the hands of R. Master, and are expected speedily to be brought to a termination. Mr. Newton, the editor of the London Jour- nal of Arts and Sciences, ridicules the idea of a steam coach being constructed to go with as much expedition and economv as those drawn by horses; he says, " no steam coach is at present in existence capable of being applied to the public service, nor is there any one at present in a state of progress that promises to run as a public stage coach." SWEEPING MACHINES.— We have had an opportunity of observing the effect of this excellent in- vention for sweeping chimneys, and are convinced, that it will entirely supersede die necessity for employing climbing boys. and thereby be the means of abolishing a custom which lias long been a reproach to humanity.— Cheltenham Chronicle. A correspondent, in allusion to the recent floods, says—" With respect to bridges, it is supposed that with the exception of those in the great lines of road, never were more ilisgraceful little erections than are every where to be found in travelling. A great many of the serious losses which farmers sustain are owing to the burst of an accumulation of water bayed back by a small and inefficient bridge, which is at length thrown down. Last Monday a cow, belonging to Mr. Allen, of High Wycombe, calved three cow calves, all so much alike, it is with great difficulty to know them apart: they are all likely to live.

CHILBLAINS are prevented from J breaking, and their tormenting itching instantly removed, by WHITEHEAD'S ESSENCE of MUS- TARD, universally esteemed for its extraordinary effi- cacy in Rheumatisms, Palsies, Gouty Affections, and Complaints of the Stomach; but where this certain re- medy has been unknown or neglected, and the Chilblains have actually suppurated or broke, WHITEHEAD'S FAMILY CERATE will ease the pain, and very speedily heal them. They are prepared and sold by R. Johnston, Apothecary, 15, Greek- street, Soho, London; the Essence and Pills at2s. fid. each, the Cerate at Is. l.

REYNOLDS's SPECIFIC is no* con- fidently recommended as a Medicine which expe « rience has fully proved to be a perfectly safe and effectual Remedy for these distressing Complaints. During nine years this Specific has been resorted to bv numerous gouty and rheumatic subjects with the greatest success ; a single dose often relieving the most severe pain, and a second or third dose completely removing all symptoms of the attaek, without the least violence to the constitution, its operation being perfectly mild and gentle in every instance, when tifken according to the instruc- tions. And no stronger proof can be adduced of the virtues of this Composition, than the fact of persons who have used it so long a period now enjoying a state of ease and health unknown to them for some years past. May be obtained in bottles, 4s. Kd. each, with ample instructions, of the proprietor, Mr. Thos. Reynolds, En- field, Middlesex ; and by his appointment, of Messrs, Brodie and Dowding, Salisbury; Smith, Devizes; Pring, Warminster ; Adams, Shaftesbury ; Simmonds, Bland- ford; Frampton, Dorchester; and Fletcher, Southamp- ton.— Purchasers should enquire for Reynolds's Gout Specific. 18838 THE TRUE " DR. STEERS'S OPODELDOC," FROM its penetrating quality; is found decidedly superior to any other external application in promoting the natural circulation when ^ n a torpid state, arising from cold or other causes, and in giving vigour to the parts affected. When promptly and co- piously rubbed in, it cures Rheumatism, Chilblains, tiie Cramp, Sprains and Bruises, & c. If dissolved, anil ap- plied on the first appearance of Chilblains, it prevents their breaking. The general use Of this valuable Remedy has induced many persons to sell spurious imitations of it, which are without effect. That only is genuine which has the name " F.

The Romance of History, by Henry Nezle.— This work will be found at once an exciting and intellec- tual treat, from the deep and varied interests of its pages, and the rich stores of historical information which it imparts. We here find beyond dispute, that the annals of real events furnish quite as much of the wondetful, and far more of the touching and sublime, than mere imagination has ever yet been able to produce. Mr. Neele's work consists of tales founded on fact, arranged chronologically; a certain number allotted to the reign of each Monarch since the Conquest, and a short his- torical summary of the leading events of the reign, is prefixed to each. They are valuable illustrations of English manners, and in their way, striking commen- taries on the history of the country. It is an interesting fact, that the Ancestors of many distinguished families of the present day are pourtrayed in these volumes, and figure in the most remarkable scenes. [ lOf! TO TANNERS.

A preliminary Meeting was held on Wednes- day at the Bear Inn, Devizes, for the purpose of esta- blishing a Friendly Society for the county of Wilts, upon the principle of mutual insurance, by which a provision for old age, sickness, or " infirmity, may be secured by means t| f a small monthly contribution. There were present on the occasion most of the gentlemen of rank, fortune, and influence in the county, headed by the Marquis sf Lansdowne, the Lord Lieutenant; all of whom appeared determined to support by their presence and their purses, an Institution which promises sti much relief and assistance to the more humble of their fellow creatures. Among the company were— T. B. M. Bas- kerville, Esq. the High Sheriff; J. Benett, Esq. and Sir J. D. Astley, Bart. our County Members ; the Hon, and Rev. F. P. Bouverie ; the Hon. Capt.

The Marquis of Lansdowne having been called to the chair, briefly stated the objects of the meeting, Mr. Benett then rose, and after observing it was the wish of the gentlemen with whom he had communicated, that he should enter into some explanations, commenced by exposing the evils that attended the system of the parochial or old Friendly Societies— the funds of which, lie said, had been in many cases materially injured by feasting and extravagance, and placing money in insecure investments, so that the poor man, when sickness old age fell on him, was disappointed in the expectations he had formed, and was deprived of that pittance, to obtain which h* had laid aside the savings of his younger days. Another reason of the constant failures of Parochial in- stitutions, Mr. Benett observed, must be attributed to their being formed on false calculations, and in con- sequence of a want of a sufficient number of members; that those clubs generally consisted of from 60 to 100 only ; whereas it had been proved before a Committee of the House of Commons, by the tirst mathematicians in the country, that the lowest possible number to ensute security should be 200. The hon. gent, then pointed out how those evils would be remedied by a County Friendly Society; observing that a set of tables had been con- structed after models already existing in Societies which weie flourishing, and in which such a regular proportion was maurained between the contributions and allow- ances, as afforded the greatest possible degree of security. While the Parochial Clubs provided for sickness and burial only— the County Society made provision for six species of Insurance— annuity for old age— provision during sickness, with medical attendance— apprenticeship for children— allowance during lying- in— endowment for widows— and the payment of a certain sum on death. These advan- tages too would be obtained by ordinary members at the lowest possible cost, as all mi- appropriation of the Kinds would be guarded against. The amount of contributions would be invirstej with the Commissioners for the Re- duction of the National Debt. The government of the Society would he placed in the hands of honorary sub- scribers, who, by their pecuniary assistance, and their valuable time, would promote its success : while the in- ternal economy of the institution would be left as much as possible in the hands of the members; the accounts would be constantly open to their inspection ; and they would be equally secure from fraud on one side, anil negligence on MC other. Mr. Benett fhpu made a forcible appeal to the nume- rous and respectable individuals around him. lie anti- cipated, he said, a benefaction and an annual subscrip- tion, to be applied in aid of the objects of the Institution, worthy of the opulent county of Wilts. lie proceeded to shew, that such institutions tended to improve the moral condition of the poor ; and observed, that there could be no greater inducement to the meeting to support the society, than the conviction that it would make the poor labourer a better husband, a better father, and a better man. He ljad, ho said, been an acting magis- trate of a large district for upwards of 30 years, in ajpios't every parish of which ( here was a friendly club ; jnd he bad scarcely known an instance ot a single member being convicted of any serious offence. The hon. gentleman concluded by passing a well morited culogium op Mr, Becher, for the zeal lie hart displayed in the cause, The following resolutions were then put from the chair, and carried pnanimouslv : 1— That a Society be formed, to he called the Wilt- shire Friendly Society ; the object of which shall J) e to raise by subscription, among thu Members thereof, or by voluntary contribution, a Fund for mutual relief and HKiitiicpance in infancy, Old age, sickness, or infirmity ; and that the rales and regulations be such as may protect the contributors against the eflects of fraud and miscalcu- lation. as well as agiiinst the great abuses which have been found to prevail in many Parochial Societies now existing. 2— That this Institution shall be under the manage- ment of a Patron, Vico Patron, President, Vice Presi- dents, who shall he Trustees ex- officio; and a Board of Directors, consisting of all Honorary Members, entitled to vote, of whom four or more shall be Trustees. 3— That every Person contributing by Benefactions not less than 5/. or becoming an annual Subscriber of not less than 1/. shall be considered an honorary member, and entitled to vote. 4— That every person contributing by Benefaction any sum less than 5/. or by annual Subscription any sum less than one pound, shall he considered an honorary Mem- ber, hut shall not be a Director, or be entitled to vote. fl— Ifhat the following Gentlemen he appointed a Pro- visional Committee, with power to add to their numbers, to prepare such Rides and Regulations as shall seem to them best calculated to secure the objects above stated, and to report jhe same to a general meeting, now agreed to be htld on tlje 10th day of April next. [ line follow the name* of a imwerous and respectable Committee.] 6— That im.' Committee be authorised to prepare and transmit forthwith a circular letter to the Nobility, Gen- try, and Clergy of the county, stating that such a Society has beeil formed, giving a brief outline of its objects, nnd advantages to the poor and industrious classes, arid re- questing io be ji'itormed from each individual whether and to what extent he may be willing to give it his support, 7— That the Rev. P. LeAr antl the Rev. W.

On Tuesday last, the Right Hon. the Earl of Grosvenor, was elected Recorder of the Borough of Shaftesbury. The last Salisbury ball for the season took place on Friday evening at our assembly- rooms, and was numerously attended by families of distinction and fashion resident in the neighbmu hood. Front the highly satis- factory manner in which the ball went off, as well as those preceding it, we may fairly anticipate that the same distinguished support will mark their repetition in future seasons. Upon this occasion, a supper, consisting of a tasteful selection of every delicacy, ( with champagne and other wines), was provided by Mr. and Mrs. Har- rington ; arid the decorations of the ball and supper rooms were extremely beautiful. Reynolds's incompa- rable quadrille band from Bath attended, and the de- lighted company remained till a late hour. There were present— Hon. Mrs. Harris, Lady Hulse and Miss Hulse, Mr6.

The third Dorset County Ball was held at the assembly rooms, Blandford, on Tuesday evening, and was attended by a numerous and brilliant assemblage. The Stewards, Wm.

A subscription has been opened for the pur- pose of providing fuel for the telief of the poor of this city and its suburbs, who are suffering from the eflfcets of the recent floods; it amounts to forty- four pounds, a sum which it is hoped will be much increased by the charitably disposed. At a half- yearly meeting of the patrons, trus- tees, and managers of the Blandford Savings' Dank, held on Monday, the funds of the institution appeared in a highly satisfactory state: the amount vested in Govern- ment securities exceeds 4( 1,0( 10/., and the number of de- positors had advanced to 1,41) 9. POLITICAL OECONOMY.-— A correspondent informs us diat there is residing at Isleworth a gentleman who has been studying Political OEconomy day and night for the last twenty veais, with the view of obtain- ing an equitable adjustment between the currency and the price of provisions, taking gold as the standard or prototype of the one, and wheat as the standard or pro- totype of the other, and he is satd at length to have come to the following conclusion,— That if Government would raise the standard or Mint price of gold from H/. 17*. its present price, to five pounds five shillings, and raise the prices of silver and copper to the same standard, then make a new coinage by dividing the pound of gold into double the same number of sovereigns into which it is now divided, the pound of silver into double the number of shillings, and the pound of copper into double the number of pence, halfpence, and farthings, into which it is now divided ; that we should not only obtain our sixpenny loaf for three pence, but that one half of our n. it'onal deb', and one half of our taxes would be imme- diately obliterated. Our correspondent says the gentle- man is not a native of Isleworth, and that from his in- tensely studious habits, is not much known to the inha- bitants ; nor is it known from whence he came, but it is supposed pretty far north. Our correspondent however considers the plan a very ingenious one, and thinks it ought to be immediately adopted by the Government; he docs not, however, see the necessity of a new coinage, for says he, let every farthing be made a legal tender for a halfpenny, every halfpenny for a penny, every sixpence for a shilling, every half crown for a crown, and every half sovereign for a sovereign, and you have the essence of the gentleman's plan ; nay he goes a step farther, and says it is a pity for the gentleman to make two bites of a cherry, that he should complete his plan at once, and make every farthing go for a penny, every sixnencc for two shillings, and so on, by which means we should not only get rid of all our debt and all our taxes at once, but we should get all our bread, beef, mutton, and veal, at one fourth of their present prices! Hurra! hurra! hurra! Our correspondent, however, has some doubt whether the gentleman has considered that gold, silver, and cop- per, arc merchantable commodities as well as all others, and like them rise and fall in price by quantity and de- mand ; nor does he sec how coining is to be prevented when gold is to be bought in the market at 3ljs. lOJ. rf. per on? cj, and sold to the public at the rate of five or ten guineas per ounce. But this perhaps the gentleman will be able to explain. BIRTHS.— On the 8th inst. the lady of the Rev.
