TilE French and English Ambassadors have passed the Dardanelles, where they were re. ceived on board of a French frigate, which will convey them to Smyrna. M. de Ribeaupiere will to- morrow enter the Black Sea, whence a fair wind will carry him in three days to Odessa. At the moment when the Am- bassadors' ships weighed anchor, the Porte felt the neces- sity of sending them the necessary firmans, by an aviso, who overtook them at the entrance of the Dardanelles. Before quitting the capital they had requested the Minis- ter of the Netherlands to protect their countrymen. On this subject the Porte made some difficulties, and offered, during the absence of the Ambassadors, to protect, itself, Russian, French, and English subjects. The Minister of the Netherlands ultimately prevailed on the Sultan to offer no objection to the arrangements of the Ambas- sadors. In the capital all is preparation for battle. The Chiefs of Romelia have arrived here, and have each received a pelisse of honour. A Grand Council was held, yester- day, at the house of the Mufti, at the close of which, u number of Tartars were dispatched to the fortresses on the Danube, with orders, the nature of which has not transpired. The young Turks, of all classes, are exercising them- selves in the use of arms in the European manner. The euthusiasm for the Sultan has risen to the highest pitch since tne departure of the Ambassadors. A firman, ad- dressed to all the regular corps, orders that all Christians who may belong to them, officers, physicians, functiona- ries, & c. may enjoy, without molestation, the obser- vances of their religion, according to its rites. There have already been built in the barracks of Constantinople and Adrianople, chapels in which divine service is to be celebrated every Sunday by Christian Ministers. London, MONDAY, JANUARY 14, The arrangements for the formation of the new Ministry are not yet completed. WINDSOR, Jan. 13.— His Majesty was pre- sent this morning at the performance of divine service, in the Royal Lodge, and appeared in perfect health; the Rev. Mr. Seymour officiated. On Friday afternoon the Duke of Wellington arrived at the Royal Lodge, and had a long audience of his Majesty. His Grace subsequently left for London. His Majesty evinces a great desire to remove to the Castle, as soon as the arrangements will permit. DEPARTURE OF DON MIGUEL.— His Royal Highness left town yesterday for Windsor Lodge, to take leave of his Majesty. Most of the foreign Ministers, • and a deputation of Portuguese merchants, took leave ot • his Royal Highness on Saturday, after which the Prince ^ proceeded to view the suspension- bridge at Hammer, smith, and in the evening entertained a select party to ulinner. About nine o'clock his Royal Highness pro- ceeded to the King's Theatre, and at the conclusion1 of • the ballet attended a grand evening patty at Baron Flack's, the Ambassador of the Netherlands. Yesterday frnorning his Royal Highness and suite attended high ( mass in the Portuguese Ambassador's Chapel, and at the ( conclusion of the ceremony proceeded to Windsor. Here fclic prince partook of a dejuner, and, after taking leave of the King, proceeded to Stratfieldsay, the seat of the Duke lot Wellington, where his Royal Higness dined and slept. The Duke of Clarence was elected on Friday, ta Member of the Astronomical Society of London. The Rev. Dr. Copleston was yesterday con- secrated at Lambeth Palace Bishop of Llandaff. The Dublin papers of Friday announce the euddan death of the Right Rev. Dr. Arbuthnot, Lord Bishop of Killaloe, and one of the four Irish Representa- tive Bishops. The deeeased Prelate was the brother of the Right Hon. Charles Arbuthnot. BUCHAREST, Dec. 18.— Accounts from Con- stantinople say, that M. de Ribcaupierre left Bujukdere, Dii the 13th, and sailed for Odessa, without meeting with ; inr oWtruption from the Commanders of the forts on both side* of the Bosphorus. Messrs. Stratford Canning and Guilleminot arc reported to have met, as they left the Dardanelles, a French frigate, sent by Admiral de Rigny, on which they immediately went on hoard, to continue their voyage ta Smyrna.— We hear of great mi- litary arrangements making by the Porte. A magazine o f muskets, which had long been collected by speculators at Constantinople, amounting, according to reports, to 110, OHO, is said to have been purchased by the Govern- ment, and many thousand militia have come from Asia. —. Allgemciue Zeitung. Lisbon papers to the 5th inst. inclusive have arrived. The opening of the Portuguese Legislative Chambers took place on the 3d, with a speech from the Princess Regent. Iu this speech the Emperor Don Pedro is, as formerly, spoken of as reigning King of Portugal, and the speedy arrival of Don Miguel, his Lieutenant, is announced. " The intentions of this Prince," the Infanta states, are conformable to those of the King, and those, agreeing with the political views of , teat nations, added to the measures of the Govern- ment, have disarmed parties, and calmed the agitations of the country," The means which have been adopted by the Government with a view to restore the credit of the Bank, it was hoped, would soon effect the desirable object, Private advices from Lisbon of the 6th inst. state, that the discount upon the notes of the Bank there had L ten reduccd from 3 to 14, which is indicative of returning confidence towards that establishment. The' small ( Kites continued in a course of payment. The capital was in a state of tranquility. Let ( ers from Java of the 5th October announce that tl: c truce agreed on between the Native Powers and the Dutch Government llkd been broken, and that hos- tilities had again commenced. Calcutta papers, to the 13th of July, have been n teived. They state that a meeting was held on the tltli, > to consider of the best means of paying a public tribute . if respect to the memory of the Marquis of Hast- ing, Sir Charles Grey in the Chair, A resolution was passed t ) raise a structure for the purpose of placing in it the statu k already voted by the people of India, it a Com- mittee tl I carry tile resolution into effect was appointed. PORTSMOUTH, Jan. 12.— Several large frigates are ordei rd to be got ready for commission, at the eastern ports. ' The Blonde is preparing for scrvics at this port. THE KING'S THEATRE,— This superb theatre opened f » r the season on Saturday night, under the joint manager lent of M. Laurent and M. Laporte. The au- dience w is nunieious, and the performances were highly apploudi d. FATA L ACCIDENT AT THE THAMES TUNNEL.— About si l o'clock on Saturday morning, the Thames tunnel aj; sin broke in, owing to a prodigious quantity of • water for' ling the breast- work. Mr. Brunel, jun., and about 130' men, were at work in the tunnel at the time, and six mjen were unfortunately drowned. It appears that the workmen knew that they had, on the preceding day, reac! led another quick sand, but did not guard against its tffects. Mr, Brunel, jun., to whose indefati- gable and iinceasing exertions sufficient praise cannot be htstnwed, lieing an extremely expert swimmer, abso- lutely draijged one of the miners, named Ball, several yards; bu>! finding his efforts unavailing, he was com- pelled to 1< i> se him. The names of the persons drowned are, John Ball, John Long, Joseph Cook, George Evans, Thomas Collins, and William Seething. The spot of the excavation where they were at work, is several feet bevond th > recent spot of irruptinn. As a proof of the violence with winch the water entered the arches, it is . only neces: iary to observe, that the opening was filled to the level of high tide under two minutes, and the force was so grcrit as to destroy instantly the staircase by means jnf which the work people descend, and which caused the 1ott of life. Mr. Brunel received a severe injury in his knee, which came ill contact with some timber whilst he • was making his way out of the tunnel— The Lady Mayoress and a party visited the tunnel the day preced- ing the accident; and it is singular, that the calamity ibiwld octur so scum after the visit of Don Miguel, and « 0 £ ro* aci( iatelv. antecedent to the intended visit of the Duke of Clarence, who had fixed tho 20th of this month for that purpose.—. None of the bodies of the men are yet found. At twelve o'clock last night, Mr. Brunel, sen., accom- panied by Mr. Gravatt, made a descent in a diving- bell near to the aperture, which measures from seven to nine feet in length, and between four and five feet in breadth : there are two solid trunks left, which will materially assist the clay in farming a new bed. Messrs. Brunel and Gravatt remained j nder water near an hour, and from the observations which they made, they express themsel les fully satisfied of ultimately being able, not only to flop the aperture, but to complete the undertaking, by resorting to the same mode as was adopted on the former cccasiou, vi: with bags of clay and pieces of tnr- pauling. -- The exertions made to recover the bodies of the dtowned men are carried on with unwearied patience.

AT a Meeting of the Mayor, Aldermen, Bailiffs, and inhabitants, on Tuesday the 15th of January, 1828, the following ADDRESS was unani- mously voted : To the Right Rev. Dr. CHARLES RICHARD SUMNER, LORD BISHOP OF WINCHESTER. May it please your Lordship, The Citizens and Inhabitants of Winchester humbly and sincerely desire to express to your Lordship their warmest Congratulations at your Lordship's elevation to the very ancient and highly honourable See of Winches- ter. The Citizens also beg leave to return thanks for the very kind consideration and bountiful liberality displayed by your Lordship on the occasion of the solemn and im- posing Ceremony which took place in their venerable Cathedral on Thursday last. In tracing back the annals of their See, it appears that during the lapse of many years no other Protestant Bishop has conferred this distinguished honour on their City, and hence they anticipate, with earnestness and pleasure, the return of that regard to the Metropolis of the Diocese with which, in olden times, it was pre- eminently favoured by a long succession of illustrious Prelates. The Citizens of Winchester, conscious of the necessary and inseparable connexion between tho existence and re- ciprocal prosperity of Church and State, rejoice at the admirable disposal of Ecclesiastical Patronage by his Majesty, and owe to his Majesty their utmost gratitude for preferring to the See of their ancient City, a Prelate, equally remarkable for every Christian perfection and moral virtue, liberality of sentiment, generosity, activity, and learning. The Citizens and Inhabitants of Winchester fervently pray, that, by the Divine blessing, your Lordship may long continue their Episcopal Head, to the no less mani- fest advantage of the holy religion of their country, than the undoubted benefit, spiritual and temporal, of this particular Diocese.

WINDSOR, Monday.— Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, Don Miguel, attended by Lord Mount- charles and Count Villa Real, ariived in one of his Ma- jesty's carriages at the Royal Lodge, in order to take ' leave of his Majesty previous to his leaving England- H is Royal Highness had an audience of the King, with Whom he took some refreshment, and left the Ro. val Lodge at four o'clock for Strathfieldsaye, the seat of the Duke of Wellington. + Yesterday the Duke of Wellington also arrived at the Royal Lodge, and had an audience of the King. Yesterday afternoon, at half- past 2 o'cloc k, his Majesty held a Court at the Royal Lodge, Windsor Park, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, the Lord Steward of the House- hold, the Right Honourables Charles Arbuthnot, Sir George Cockburn, and Sir William Fremantle. His Majesty held a Privy Council, at which the fur- ther prorogation of Parliament was taken into considera- tion, when it was agreed that the Parliament should be further prorogued from the 22d instant to the 29th instant, then to meet for the despatch of business; and orders were given for issuing the usual proclamation for that purpose. The King gave audience to the Lord Chancellor and the Duke of Wellington, II lias been deemed expedient, in the pre- sent unfinished state of the negotiations for re- construct- ing die Cabinet, to prorogue the meeting of Parliament, from next Tuesday, the 22d instant, to Tuesday, the 8< Hh. A proclamation to this effect appeared in last night's Gazette. THIS KING'S HEALTH.— The indisposition of the King does not arise from the gout, but from a severe cold which his Majesty caught about a fortnight since, when riding out in an open carriage on a very damp day. The King was so extremely bourse on this day fortnight, that it was with difficulty lie could bo heard. His Ma- jesty has been - since so unwell, in consequence, that he has kept his bed for the greatest part of the time. Sir Henry Halford has constantly attended his Majesty, and has gone daily from London to the Royal Lodge, and on his return has called on the Princess Sophia at Kensing- ton, and the Duke of Clarence at the Admiralty, to report the state of his Majesty's health to his Royal sister junl brother. It was yesterday stated that when the Marquis of Wellesley went to the Royal Lodge, to pay his respects to the King, on his return to England, he did not see his Majesty, which, we fear, arose from the King being too much indisposed to see the Noble Marquis English Chronicle. The Marquis of Lansdowne and Mr. Hus- kisson were in frequent communication, daring the whole of yesterday, with Viscount Goderich and Earl Dudley, at their residence in Downing- street. Yesterday was the anniversary of tlie birth- day of the Duke of Glouce » Hy iwhen his Royal Highness completed his fifty- secS years j The Duke of W^ l^ ton entertained the Right Hon. Robert Peel ana 1 select party to dinner, on Monday, at Apsley House, Piccadilly. Five different messengers were yesterday forwarded to the Royal Lodge, with despatches for his Majesty. There is no' doubt o. f the Duke of Wellington's being empowered to form the new Ministry ; and it is expected that Mr. Peel will ne Premier; that the Mar- quis Wellesley is not to. be either Prime Minister, or Se- cretary of State for the Foreign Department; but that he is to be in office— suppose the India Board, with a scat in the Cabinet.— Morning Herald. It is reported that one of tlie first acts of the new Administration will be to enter into a negotiation with the Greek Government, recommending them to offer a nominal tribute to the Turks, which, if agreed to, it is hoped will induce the Sultan to put an end to the war. It is also said that a Minister will be sent to Constanti- nople to treat with the Turkish Government on the sub- ject, and that arrangements will be made by the Allied Powers as to the boundaries of Greece. The Emperor of Russia lias made a great number of promotions in his army. The Princes of Wurtemberg and Prince Ernest have been appointed Co- lonels of the Guards, and 24 Colonels have . been made Major- Generals. Letters from France slate, that since the battle of Navarin, the most marked attention is paid by the Court, and all the nobility, to the English of dis- tinction now residing in Paris. The King of France, a few days ago, was pleased to shew a special mark of favour to an English Protestant gentleman, of Hampshire, by raising James Dawes, Esq. to the dignity of a Baron of France, by tlie title of Baron de Flasson, with letters patent, granting naturalization IO James Dawes, Esq. to authorise him, and his heirs, to hold the Royal domain of Flasson, presented to him by the Prince de Conde, Mr. Dawes was married, last year, at Paris, to the daughter of Rear- Admiral Manby. The French papers state that symptoms of dissatisfaction with the late Ministerial arrangements are increasing. The Journal des Debats states, that two of the new Members have expressed a wish to resign before the meeting of the Chambers, and that a third is desirous of leaving office immediately. It insinuates that the late appointments are only provisional, and that the Ministry of M. Chabrol is rather the interregnum of administration than an administration. Extracts from the trench papers: PARIS, Jan. 115.— We have received from our corres- pondent at Vienna the following letter, dated Jan. 4 :— A courier from St, Petersburgh, of the 24th December, has brought a new declaration of the Emperor Nicholas to the Allied Courts. His Imperial Majesty declares that, notwithstanding the new refusal of the Sultan to accept the intervention of the three Powers, followed by the immediate demand of their passports bv the three Ministers, he desires, nevertheless, according to tlie Treaty of the ( ilh July, to maintain the peace of the Continent, and to wait for the further proceedings of . the tw other Courts. • We have a letter from Trieste, of the 1st of January, which says, " The last accounts from Corfu, dated the 10th December, state that Ibrahim Pacha is preparing, in consequence of notice froln his lather, to return to Alexandria. Thus the Morea would now be free without a sanguinary war." The son of Marshal Ney was married, on the 5th i/ istaiit, to a daughter of Lafitte, the celebrated Paris banker. A leiter received from Madrid, dated tho 3d January, says:—" The tranquillity of the city was dis- turbed on New Year's Day. for several hours, by the Volunteer Royalists, who collected together in tlie fanx- bourg of Avapreva, and put forth cries in favour of the Revolutionists of Catalonia, and for the re- establishment of the Inquisition. Some detachments of the Royal guard endeavoured to put down the mutineers, and several persons were wounded on either side. A consi- derable number of troops came to the assistance of the Royal guard, and in a short time the Volunteer Royalists were dispersed, and several blackguards who had joined them weie arrested." SMYRNA, Dee. 2— The most perfect tran- quillity continues to rei « n in this city. Trade, of course, is suffering an entire suspension, and the slate of uncer- tainty in which we are still lingering is ruinous to the merchants, ' the dealers in the bazaars refuse to meet their obligations, anil most of them refuse to pay even a part in cash. Contradictory reports of what is going on in the Divan, at Constantinople, succeed each otlner most rapidly. For several davs we have received no news from the Island of Scio. The last intelligence was from an officer on board the Parthian, who was there on the 25th of November. He had an interview with Colonel Fabvier, who w as very sanguine as to the results of the expedition. Firing was carried on between the Greeks in the town and outskirts and the Turks in the castle. Fabvier's breaching- battery was to be ready the next day, and he e:,- peeled to have the cystic in his hands in a few days. Newfoundland papers report, that W. E. Cornwark. Esq. appointed to explore the interior of the island, had returned to St. John's, after an expedition of three months. He was accompanied by three Indians, and had explored a country hitherto unknown, to the ex- tent of 200 miles : he found huts and other traces of the Red Indians, hut could not find any of the tribes. The Ex- King of Sweden is said to be so to- tally void of resources, as to have been compelled not long since to pawn his portmanteau at Basle.

When a ship arrives, the first ques- i tion is, how many women are oil board ?— the second, have they brought any cows ? Tlie subscription to tlie proposed monument to the memory of Mr. Canning amounts already to 9000/. Upwards of 600 carvers and gilders are now employed at Windsor Castle. Owing to the bad state of the roads, from the extreme severity of the weather, several of the mail coaches did not arrive in London until much beyond their proper time, which of course greatly retarded the de- livery of the letters this morning— Courier, Jan. 16. The celebrated race- horse Leviathan, lately purchased by Mr. D. Radcliffe for His Majesty, is sup posed to be the largest and most superb looking blood horse ever produced in this or any other country. The price was 2,000 guineas. He is now at Newmarket, with the the rest of the King's horses. YEOMANRY CAVALRY.— A circular from the War- office orders a gratuity of six months' pay to the Adjutant and Sergeant Major of the Corps of Yeomanry Cavalry, whose services have been discontinued, at the rate of lis a day for the Adjutant, and 5s. 2d. for the Sergeant Major. It is intended to open a communication by steam between Carmarthen and Bristol in the spring. The charge for posting on the Bagshot road is now reduced to ninepence per mile ! A comparison of the number of Bankruptcies in 1826 and 1827, exhibits a striking proof of the dimi- nished pressure on trade, and the improved condition of the Commercial and manufacturing classes: in 11) 26 the bankruptcies in England amounted to HiOO; in 11) 27 to ISIili; decrease in 11127, 234. tin Saturday night the house of Henry Drum- mond, Esq. No. 8, Hanover- terrace, Regent- park, was tlirown into alarm, in consequcnce of that gentleman be- ing discovered in his bed- room in the agonies of death. His lady was absent from town, and none but the domes- tics Were on the spot. On looking around the room the frvants discovered a phial and an empty wine glass,— the lial had contained laudanum, as also had the glass— A coroner's inquest was held on Monday, when Sir. White, surgeon, of Parliament- street, deposed, that he had attended the deceased for several years, and knew him lo be subject to epileptic fits ; and he had more than once expressed his opinion that he would die under such an attack. To his knowledge the deceased was in the habit of taking laudanum, and he was cleaily of opinion that he immediately after taking his usual portion of that opiate, was seized with one of those fits, which was the cause of death. He had opened the stomach, and found nothing indicating that he had died from poison. His firm opinion was, that he died in a fit of epilepsy. The laudanum might have produced excitement, and brought on the attack —" Died by the Visitation of God." LONDON VACCINE INSTITUTION.— The annual meeting of the Governors of this Institution was holden on Friday, at the City of London Tavern; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. It appeared from the report, that before the introduction of the practice of vaccination into the new world, 100,000 Indians were destroyed by the small- pox in one year, in the single pro- vince of Quito. This dreadful mortality was effectually arrested by the introduction of vaccination, through the instrumentality of the missionaries. The vaccine matter having, however, become effete, through the excessive heats of the last year in that country, one- third of tile infant population were perishing by small- pox, and the inhabitants entreated a new supply from England, which is now regularly transmitted every month in packages, which are distributed by the influence of the Brazilian Ambassador through the seventeen provinces of the Bra- zilian empire.— The late Duke of York had said, that " ill the Military Asylum, not one unsuccessful case in vaccination had happened in the course of 20 years." Owing to the long prevalence of wet weather, the sheep and lambs are suffering seriously from the rot. From the same cause, the season has proved extremely fatal to deer. The meeting of noblemen and gentlemen re- sident in the county of Somerset, which was held the other day at Wells, for the purpose of taking into con- sideration the subject of " Friendly Societies," to relieve the condition of the poor, and with a view to the establish- ment of a Society of that nature in Somersetshire on an improved plan, deserves encouragement. That the prin- ciple and management of " Friendly Societies" admit of improvement there can be no doubt, and we are glad that persons of so much respectability and influence as those who took a leading part at that meeting have come forward to take the subject into consideration. The abuses to which the Poor Laws are subject in practice, we have repeatedly shown, are productive of consequences that counteract and almost destroy their original and benevolent intention. Instead of being the support of an enlightened system of charity, they are becoming every day more and more the source of idleness, misery, and crime. It was justly observed at the Meeting, that one great cause of the moral degradation of the English peasantry at the present day, was to he found in the system of Poor Laws, the effect of which was, that the poor man no longer maintained that firm and honest independence which was so long at* aehM to the character of the peasantry of this country-~ jc!} was not excited by that proud feeling of indepondef '.'- which once actuated him— lie laboured not in his dr of strength to lay by a portion of his gain wherewith Icomfort his old age— ee knew that when the period hacf passed that his IISM labour could avail him, he must be supported by the parish— he strove not to rear up his children in habits of labour anil industry— for he was aware that in his old ago they would not have to maintain him.— Morning Herald. There- are fitting out in the river Thames six ships, of about 500 tons each, for the conveyance of con- victs to New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land ; and it is said that the Government hare determined on send- ing all prisoners whose sentence is transportation to those colonies, where the demand for labour has so increased, especially for agricultural purposes, that numbers are taken off the Government charge immediately on their aflkval^ rom Europe. The Roman Catholic " Mission," which it is proposed to send from Dublin to enlighten the " de- luded and benighted" parts of England, may have another object in view besides the diffusion of their political and theological doctrines. It was stated by Mr. O'Connell the i » ber day, in the " Association," that he was at first adverse to the Mission, but that be had a private con- ference with Mr. Sheil, who convinced him of its expe- diency, for reasons which it was not then necessary to disclose. Mr. Lawless— who ridiculed the idea of a Mission, could not extract from Mr, O'Connell what the arguments were by which he had been convinced of its utility. It cannot be concealed that the population tax called the " Catholic Rent" is coming in very slowly and scantily to the exchequer of the Association, com- pared with what it did some time ago. Now it is not improbable tljat a collection of " Catholic Rent" in this country may be contemplated by the Dublin Association, and it may be thought advisable for the projected " Mis- sion" to unite this financial object with its political and dogmatical functions. If so, the " itinerant orators," as Mr. Lawless calls Messieurs O'Connell, Sheil, and Co., have good reason for not divulging the most impor- tant object of the Mission at present, as it might be sus- pected that the cant about " enlightening the deluded and benighted parts of England" was only a pretext for " raising the wind."— Morning Herald. On Wednesday last the first anniversary meeting of the Bath Auxiliary Tract Society was held at the Guildhall, in Bath, when the Hon. Capt. Noel, R. N. took the chair, supported by a numerous body of the clergy, both of lAjf^ Jistablishment and the Dissenting persuasions. TheT^ Jting was highly numerous and re- spectable, consistiirjrEhiefly of ladies From the report of the Society it appeared that since the establishment of the depository in January last, 43,000 tracts had been issued from thence, and the report spoke very highly of the loan system, by which already 500 poor families are gratuitously supplied every week with tracts. The efforts of the Parent Society appear to have been on a truly gigantic scale; having issued, in the course of last year, above ten millions of tracts. At Paris, in Spain am. Portugal, in Poland, in that interesting country, Greece, in China, and in India, several thousands of the most popular tracts have been disseminated, and others r. r - still eagerly demanded. In the vicinity of the temple of Juggernaut, to which not less than 260,000 pilgrims re- sorted at the season of the festivities, the efforts of the Baptist Missionaries had been highly successful, and the Rev. Mr. Marshall mentioned an instance of a Brahmin being converted to Christianity by reading a leaf of a tract which he had accidentally picked up by the road- side. The Rev. gentleman produced a curious Chinese Magazine, devotee! chiefly to the subject of Religion, and also some tracts which had been printed and circu- lated in that language.— The Rev. Walter Marriott can- didly acknowledged that he once felt an objection to this Society on the ground that the reading ot mere human productions was apt to mislead the mind from the Scrip- tures, but he now felt convinced that religious tracts na- turally led to the perusal of the Scriptures, and there- fore the Institution had his most cordial support. The collection at the doors amounted to about 15/. Messrs. Webb and Son's banking- house, at at Ledbury, Herefordshire, was broken into on the 4th instant, and robbed of cash, notes, & c. amounting to up- wards of 10,000/. 550/. of the stolen notes were changed the following day in London. Monday morning, Sheppard, the Yorkshire pedestrian, undertook ( for a wager of 20 guineas) to run 20 miles in three hours. At hall- past ten o'clock he started from the house of Josh. Hudson, the pugilist, ( the Maidenhead, Leadenhall- market,) and ran to Rom- ford, a distance of 10 miles, in considerably less than half the time given to perforin the whole of the match. After a short rest, he again started towards London, and continued running with the most surprising alacrity, un- til his arrival at the Maidenhead, when it was a quarter past one o'clock, having performed his task in a quarter of an hour less than the given time. He was extremely exhausted, and a great number of bets were lost and won on the occasion. PUGILISTS.— Great interest is excited by the fight, between Brown and Sampson, for 250/. a sides which is to take place between Birmingham and Bridge- north, on the 8th of April next. Odds of two to one, and seven to four, on Brown, are freely taken in town and country. An illicit distillery was discovery in Gray's- Inn- lane on Friday : 00 gallons of spirits ready for sale, and a large quantity of molasses and other ingredients, were seized. The " workers" escaped. Mr. George Webb Hall has transmitted to the King a letter, humbly but earnestly requesting his Ma- jesty to accept a small specimen of cloth produced from British wool: " Knowing ( says Mr Hall) the sentiments of a large portion of the agricultural class of your Ma- jesty's subjects, I may unelertake to say, that your Ma- jesty's appearing in public in the really British cloth which I have done myself the honour to lay at your Majesty's feet, would bind your Majesty's name still closer to their hearts, and lead them to bless the day when the most exalted and powerful Potentate in Europe or the world, in a time of national difficulty, was gra- ciously pleased to set an illustrious example to his No- bility, and kingdom, of personal privation, if any priva- tion it could be, for the public good. Mr. Hall received the following answer : " Lord Lansdowne presents his compliments to Mr. George Webb Hall, and has the pleasure to acquaint him that, having transmitted his letter, together with the cloth which accompanied it, to the King, he has been commanded to convey to Mr. Hall his Majesty's acknow- ledgments for his dutiful attention, and to express the real satisfaction which his Majesty will feel in wearing so beautiful a specimen of the cloth produced exclusively from British wool— Whitehall, Jan. 7, 1828." The West of England Grand Concerts, per- formed at Exeter last week, under the direction of Mr. Paddon, have gone off with unusual eclât. The series comprised sacred music in the mornings, ar. tl miscel- laneous pieces in the evenings. Miss Paton was the prima donna, and was greatly admired ; Miss Forde, Sapio, and Phillips were among the principal vocalists; Loder, Nicholson, and Lindley, assisted in the orchestra. The receipts have been proportionate to the pains and expence incurred. The number of prisoners for trial at the pre- sent Somerset Sessions at Wells, is as follows;— For felony !) 0, and misdemeanors 40, making a total of 130, besides several ent on bail. The business will, therefore, in all probability, occupy the attention of the Court for upwards of a week. The Committee of Management of the Dorset District Society for the Preservation of Life from Ship- wreck, held a quarterly meeting at the county hall, Dor- chester, on Thursday last, William Morton Pitt, Esq. in the chair. The Committee awarded 31. each O six persons who succeeded in saving the lives of five of the crew of the Faith schooner, in Portland Bay, on the 18th of December; and 2/. each to the persons who went off to the assistance of the dismasted brig, on the 14th. The five persons saved would have been inevitably lost, had it not been for the courageous conduct of the persons re- warded, as they were in an open boat on a coast unknown to them, and must have perished had it not been for the assistance rendered. The poor of the parish of Hinton St. George have been liberally relieved by the bounty of the Dowa- ger Countess Poulett, who yearly clothes ten poor women, besides distributing various articles of apparel to the deserving. The annual bequest of Mr. Beagly ( steward to the late Earl Poulett), of blankets to the amount of 15/. has, amongst other benevolent gifts, been distributed. A few days since, 95 informations, under 35 Geo. III. c. 118, for recovering the penalty of 20/. each, were exhibited against Mr. Keele, brewer, at Tichfield, charging him with having on as many different days re- tailed beer at Portsea, without being duly licensed so to do. It appeared that, by the 5th Geo. IV. c. 54, Mr. Keele had, under the express sanction of the Board of Excise, opened a shop at Portsea for retailing beer, for which purpose he had a license granted to him by the Collector and Supervisor of the district. Mr. Missing, jun., for the prosecution, contended that, as the 7th sec- tion of the 5th Geo. IV. cap. 54, only empowered the officers of Excise to grant a license to such persons as did not reside in a market town to retail beer in some adjoin- ing market town, they had no authority to grant the license in question, because Titchfield, the place of Mr. K.' s residence, was a market town, in which the farmers and inhabitants meet every Saturday evening at the Bugle inn ; although, on cross- examination, it appeared that the business of the meeting was to drink grog and talk over the news of tile week— Mr. James Hoskins, on behalf of Mr. Keele, commented severely on the vindictive con- duct of the individual by whom so many informations had been laid, and contended that his client did not come within the meaning of tile 35th Geo. III.; that the license granted to him was a sufficient protection against the penalties sought to lie recovered; and that Titchfield was not a market town within the meaning of the 5th Geo. IV. The Magistrates considered there was no proof that Titchfield was a market town ; they therefore ac- quitted the defendant, and allowed the defendant 10/. costs. In the garden of Harviestown, in the county of Clockmannan, several hundred almonds have lately ripened in the open air, upon standard trees. The trees are all young, and the fruit gathered in is full as large and as finely flavoured us the best Jordan almonds. Dr. Pellegrini observes, that lie has found the external application of the juice of hemlock highly efficacious in curing that disagreeable eruption, the itch ; the pustules to be bathed with it for five" ot six The Doctor employs the juice expressed from the fresh leaves, bruised in a mortar, but he says that the extract, decoction, or the powder of the leaves, is equally effi- cacious, and that he never failed in effecting the cure. This remedy is easy to be had; There is now in the possession of Mr. San- ders, fishmonger, of Broad- street, Bristol, a dove- coloured blackbird, possessing every quality of the species to which it belongs except the colour. It is very lively, with a most melodious note.— Another bird, taken from the same nest, is perfectly black. A person who had applied common salt as a manure to a small piece of garden, rematked that where snails had come in contact with the salt they quickly died. The fact may be turned to account by agriculturists and gardeners.— Bull. Univ. Mode of keeping Apples.— It seems not to be generally known, that apples may be kept the whole year round by being immersed in corn, which receives no injury from their contact. If American apples were packed among grain, they would arrive here in much : iner condition. From three ewes and a ram, with which Mr. Macarthur began the breed in New South Wales, he has now a stock of pure Merinos of between 2 and 3000, and from the produce of which he has, of late years, sold upwards 40 rams annually, at an average of 17/. per head. The art of printing is admitted to have been introduced into this country by William Caxton, a mer- cer, of London, who, while following the business of his trade in Holland, saw much of the new discovery. In 1471, he printed a book at Cologne by the desire of the Duchess of Burgundy, and then came to London, and set up a printing press in the Abbot's lodging at West- minster. He lived till 1491, and printed nearly fifty different books. There is a picture extant of Lord Rivers presenting Caxton to Edward IV. and his Queen. When Caxton brought the art of printing from Germany, he brought with him the types used in that country; and from these, and similar types, all English books were printed, till the reign of James I., when the Roman cha- racter ( the one now employed) was adopted, and soon entirely superseded the use of the old black letter. " Vandyke, the most excellent of all portrait- painters, was a native of Antwerp; he was invited to England by Charles I., and painted many of tlie most distinguished personages of the court.

Sir Walter was desirous of rewarding this civility by the present of sixpence, but found that be had not so small a coin in his purse. " Here, my good fellow," said the baronet, " here is a shilling for you ; but, mind you owe me six- pence." " God bless your honour!" exclaimed Pat; " may your honour live till I pay you !" A few days ago died, at Seafield, William M'Nair, Esq. In administering a ball to a glandered horse, lie took the infection through a slight scratch on his finger; in a short time he became affected in both arms, from whence it communicated to the whole system, and at length terminated fatally. There is at present growing in the open win- dow of a house in Chessel's- court, a primrose plant bear- ing four flowers, with several others about to burst from enclosures.— Caledonian Mercury. As C. T. James Esq. of Peerless Place, near Exeter, was last week returning from hunting in Oxford- shire, he was suddenly attacked by two ruffians, one of whom laid hold of the bridle of his horse, and the other, presenting a pistol at his breast, demanded his money or his life ; upon which Mr. James instantly knocked down the man who presented the pistol with the but- end of his hunting- whip, And spurring his horse, caused it to plunge, which made the other loose his hold, when Mr. James aimed a blow at lnm, and laid him senseless on the ground with his companion. A few nights ago, a gang of poachers, about ten in number, broke into the preserves of Mr. Crutch- ley, of Sunninghill, Berks, and destroyed a quantity of game. Four gamekeepers and his steward attempted to take the party into custody, but were overpowered, and dreadfully beaten. The steward and one of the game- keepers are now lying in a most precarious state. Two suspected persons are in custody, and several Bow- street officers are in the neighbourhood, actively employed in endeavouring to discover the remainder of the gang. On Tuesday evening, a spark from a candle fell on some loose gunpowder, irt the shop of Mr. Cooke, gunmaker, Walcot- street, Bath, when an explosion took place, and the shop window and shutters in front were blown into the street, and the back windows of the pre- mises into the garden. Mr. Cooke, jun., was much burnt. John Eastwood, gamekeeper of Jas. Deaden, Esq, ( lord of the manor of Rochdale) may be now added to the numerous list of victims to the lawless and reckless principles which actuate poachers. The unfortunate man left home early on Sunday morning, and nothing was heard of him till Wednesday morning, when his mur- dered' body was found stretched out on Rowley Moor, about five miles from Rochdale. The Duke of Devonshire is said to have re- signed the office of Lord Chamberlain. THE THAMES TUNNEL.— A Meeting of the Directors of this Company took place yesterday at their office in Walbrook, for the purpose of taking into con- sideration what course was most proper to be pursued in the present emergency, owing to the late disastrous oc- currence. It is understood, that after examining the drawing made of the cavity, and other documents, and hearing the opinion of Mr. Brunel, sen., who expressed his firm conviction of being able to stop the leak in a shorter period of time, and at much less expense than on tlie former occasion, it was decided ( it is believed unani- mously) that the means at present adopted for stopping tlie cavity should be pursued; and should they fortu- nately be attended with the expected success, that the pumping out of the water should take place with all expedition. A meeting of the shareholders was also determined upon. The meeting separated with the most confident hopes of the success of the measures adopted. It is said that an eminent Engineer, not in any manner connected with this great undertaking, voluntarily offered to subscribe 500/. towards defraying the extra expence incurred by the unfortunate occurrence, sooner than witness the failure of an undertaking of such vast mag- nitude. Up to a late hour last night, the exertions for recover- ing the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers were not at- tended with success. The operation of filling the bags with clay was continued, and wattling r{ them with sticks was pursued with the greatest activity ; seven or eight of the bags are thus united together, and will be lowered to the spot by ropes ( instead of being thrown at random, as they were last time) through a hole in the raft, which will, no doubt, be placed over the cavity by the aid of the diving- bell. TUNNEL COMPANY.— There are 10,000 shares of 50/. each, and 41V. have been called upon each share. MR. GURNEY'S STEAM CARRILGE,— A skil- ful workman, named Williams, from Messrs. Bolton and Watt's of the Soho Manufactory, Birmingham, in- spected this machine a few days ago, and stated it as his firm conviction, that with a few judicious alterations, it could not fail to answer die most sanguine expectations entertained of it. On Monday it was again tried in the Regent's Park, and proceeded at the rate of thirteen miles and a quarter per hour. Hitherto considerable difficulty has been experienced in guiding the machine over the rough stones ; but to obviate this difficulty, an improvement of a very simple nature his been suggested by Williams, which will give the guide such a purchase over the machine, that it may be. steered with as much ease and precision as a steam vessel at sea. The application of steam vessels to tow barges, & c. along canals and rivers ( where there are only currents, not tides), instead of horses, is beginning. A vessel for such purpose, and also for the conveyance ot passengers and light luggage, has lately been launched on the River Wye. Its general station is near the bridge of the city of Hereford. It is only of 12- horse power, and no fears are entertained about its utility, except in the summer season, when the shallowness of the river may not afford sufficient depth for working the paddles. Several double cabriolets, not distinguishable in appearance from those of private gentlemen, are now constructing to ply in the metropolis. The driver having a seat on the off side, detached from his fare, three per- sons can with ease ride in the carriage. The driver is clothed in a plain but neat livery. SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.— One day last week a worthy son of Neptune at Bideford, ( Captain V—) made up his mind to a day's shooting; but his sport commenced and ended on the quay, where, seeing a few sparrows, he could not resist the temptation, but fired at all hazards, and succeeded in killing three out of about thirty, besides breaking five panes of glass in the window of Paddon's Hotel. He then ran home with his gun, and swore he would never lire again, except at the enemies of Old England. The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society has given a prize of ten guineas to one man, for having had seventeen children ( ten living), and been forty years in the service of one master; and another of five guineas, for twenty- five children gotten ( ten living) and a service of forty- one years. The Murder in Montagu- place.— Yesterday, Mr. Knight, son of the late Mrs. Jeffs, communicated to Mr. Halls, the magistrate, some information concerning Jones, a young man who has been apprehended on sus- picion of being the murderer. This young man is son of the late Mr. Stephen Jones, well known in the literary world as the author of the dictionary entitled " Jones's Sheridan Improved." Mr. S. Jones had two sons, of promising talent, and this wretched young man is one of them. About four years ago they were both in cus- tody, on a charge of having robbed their father of 40/. After several examinations they were discharged, upon condition of going immediately to sea, which they did. The prisoner went two voyages to India, and since his return from his last voyage he has never pursued any regular occupation, but has been a marked man with the police. In February 1826, he was convicted of felony at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to six months' imprison- ment. The late Mr. Jones, and Mrs. Jeffs' fust husband ( Mr. Knight), were on very intimate terms, and the acquaintance has continued between the families. The prisoner Jones, before his bad habits were discovered, paid his addresses to one of the daughters of Mr. Knight ( Mrs. Jeffs' son). For some time past, he has been much straitened in his means, and sometimes visited Mrs. Jeffs, who was a kind- hearted woman, and her respect for his family induced her to receive him kindly, and relieve his wants. It is known that he visited her two or three days before she was murdered, and in his visits he was occasionally accompanied by a woman with whom he cohabited, and whom he represented to be his wife. It has been ascertained that Jones is the only man of loose character who visited the deceased ; and Mr. Knight states, that as soon as he and his family knew of the murder, they were instantly impressed with an idea that Jones was implicated. The officers could obtain no trace of Jones until Saturday last, when they discovered a woman of the town who undertook to find him; but before this could be done, he was arrested in the city, for stealing a great coat. After his examination, he was conveyed to the house of correction, with strict orders that no person should be suffered to visit him. The commitment charged no other offence than the stealing of the great coat, but there are several other eharges hanging over him, independently of the murder. He is accused of having obtained money for three forged cheques, upon as many bankers in the city. He has been asked where he was on the night of the murder, and states that he was at one of the theatres. His re- examination will take place on Monday next, it is said. He is a diminutive man, about 25 years of age, pale face, with a scar on one cheek. At Oxford sessions on Monday last, the bill charging John Williams with the murder of Ann Crotch- ley, was thrown out by the Grand Jury, his innocence being fully established by the evidence brought before them. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.— On the 7th instant, a boy of the name of James Morgan, about fifteen years of age, in the employ of Mr. Robinson, miller, near Robin Hood's Bay, was working in the mill with another boy and his uncle. The grinding part of the machinery, and the dressing cylinder, were in operation at the time, and the boy Morgan was sent up to the first floor to feed the cylinder with flour. Near to the steps on which lie had to stand is the upright iron shaft which turns the cylinder. The boy had on a smock frock, and whether he had slipped off the steps against the shaft or not, cannot be ascertained, but in about 2 minutes after he had gone up, his uncle found that something impeded the machinery, and immediately odered the other boy to turn the water off. On running up stairs he found that the frock of James Morgan had got entangled with, and wrapped him up close to the shaft, which in its operation moves round about eighty- five times in a minute, and is placed so near the wall, that although the body passed free of it round with the shaft, yet the head and legs, of course, came at every point into dreadful concussion, and were mangled in a shocking manner— His skull and head were crushed to atoms. Persons possessing property of this description, where there is so much machinery, ought to be careful to enclose or fence off such parts as may endanger the work- men. Smock- frocks also ought not to be allowed to be worn by workmen in such situations.— Hull Packet. Lieutenant- Colonel Monro died at an hotel at Stamford, on Wednesday night last, of ' exhaustion from excessive irritation, brought on by his having missed a desk containing papers of great value, which lie sup- posed had been lost. The desk was left at Doncaster, through which place he passed On his return from a visit to Lord Howden, at Grimston ; and it reached Stamford just as the Colonel was expiring. Mr. Blackford, silversmith, of Bridgwater, was attacked near Knowle, on Wednesday evening last, by two fellows, one of whom seized his horse by the bri- dle. whilst the other laid hold of the stirrup leather, and with many imprecations demanded his money. Mr. Blackford freed himself from the former by striking him across the arm, and then spurring his horse, dragged the latter with him for a considerable distance, until he was disengaged by the stirrup giving way.— The robberies on the Bath road are now very frequent. On Saturday last a man was carrying nbout Taunton, in a basket, I'fi adders and snakes, which he had taken up from under a heap of stones, by the side of the road, on Blackdown Hill. Having observed a snake attempting to enter the heap, the man was induced to re- move some of the stones, which led to the discovery aboce stated. Some of these reptiles measured 2 feet and a half in length. When discovered, many of them were nearly dead, and the whole died soon after they were removed from the heap. At Barnstaple petty sessions, Thomas Jewell, an apprentice to William Gould, of Sticklepath, was or- dered < to pay his master the sum of I/, lib-, in weekly in- stalments of 2s. for absenting himself from his service without leave. A gang of robbers have been apprehended in the town of Diss, whose depredations have continued in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk for several years, undetected, and but lit tie suspected ; they consisted of a father and several sons, of the name of Sadd, who have been charged before the Magistrates witli sheep- stealing, committed so long ago as 1825, and in the Course of their examination nearly 30 robberies, burglaries, sheep- steal- ing, & c. - were brought to light against them by the accu- sations of an accomplice. Very great damage has been done to the shipping at Plymouth, by the late gales. COUNTERFEIT COIN.— On Wednesday 240 half- crowns, 3 sovereigns, and 7 half- sovereigns, were destroyed at the Council- house, Bristol; and a man is in custody at Bristol, charged with uttering forged Bank of England notes. CORN- EXCHANGE, Jan. 16.— Owing to ad- verse winds and tempestuous weather, our supplies ( 550 quarters of Wheat, 250 of Barley, 40 of Oats, and 050 sacks of Flour) were extremely small, and Monday's prices were fully supported for line samples of Wheat.— Barley was much asked for, and there being none of fine quality at market, higher prices were anticipated for such kind.— Oats arc very dull sale.

ACIDULATED LOZENGES OF CAYENNE— for habi- tual sore throats, hoarseness, relaxation of uvula, and a refreshing stimulus during field sports. These Lozenges have received a patronage almost unprecedented in the above cases; they are also of great utility to persons in the habit of public speaking; and the highest testimony1 in the musical world has been advanced in their favor,, where the voice has been influenced by a humid atmos- phere, and diminished in tone.

THE Marquis de Barbacena, a Brazilian JL Minister, lias subscribed for a hundred of the me- dals which arc about to be struck off in memory of George Canning, is order to perpetuate his wishes for civil and religious liberty in both hemispheres. BARCELONA, Jan. S.— As his Majesty has recovered from his attack of the itrtut, it is generally conjectured here that he will not long continue to reside in this town. It is said that their Majesties have ordered preparations for freir journey to Saragossa, from whence they will proceed to Madrid. CORFU, Dec. 12.— General Church's expedition into • western Greece has been attended with ample success. Upon landing in the port of Dragomestre ( the Acarnania of the ancients), the it, 000 men whom he commanded • proceeded towards Catocht, where the Turks had esta- blished their magazines of reserye, which w. erc taken possession of. After this coup de main, the Greeks crossed the river of Medenice, from whence they moved towards the Ozeros, or Lakes. The Greeks have circulated thousands of proclamations to invite their fellow- believers to join the standard of the Cross. They are aware that the last hour of Turkish supremacy will speedily come; and that the epoch of their legal independence will be dated from the arrival of Count Capo d'Istria, who has been recognised by the three Powers as President of Greece. A Turkish expedition, ready to sail from Navarino, was spoken of. which was intended to fetch provisions fitim Egypt. The ferocious career of Ibrahim Pacha is suspended ; ho, is now at Coron with his Negroes, his Arabs, and renegadoes, who during the course of tins year, laid waste the whole Peloponessus with lire and sword. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 12.— Among the measures of defence recently rdopted by the Sultan must be placed the convocation which took place a few days ago of the Chiefs of Trades and Corporations in the capital. They were made to take an oath, and were informed that they were to prepare, in the possible event of a Avar, all the Mussulmans of their quarters for military service, at whose head they were to march. The Seraskier delivered to them, on that occasion, a caftan of honour, as a mark of their dignity. Seven hundred iron cannon have been sent to the Dar- danelles, for the defence of the forts. The sending of military stores of all kinds continues without interruption. Firmans have been sent to the capitals of the provinces to order the same measure relative to the Corporations and Trades to be executed there. Though these prepara- tions excite some uneasiness among the Franks, it is nevertheless certain that the Porte will entirely avoid offensive war and will confine itself solely to the defensive. London, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18. There lias been a report that the King is se- riously indisposed; and it is said that his Majesty has been bled— an operation which, it is thought, he would not have been subjected to in the present state of the at- mosphere, had his illness been only of n slight character. The Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Welling- ton, Earl Bathurst, Mr. Goulburn, Mr. Dawson, and Mr. W. Peel, visited the Right Hon. Robert Peel, on Wednesday, at his residence in Privy Gardens. Viscount Palmerston, Mr. Herries, and Mr. Charles Grant, visited Earl Dudley on Wednesday, at tile Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Mr. Rothschild had also an interview with his Lordship yesterday. Mr. Huskisson lias lately been suffering from indisposition, brought on by a cold. The Right Hon. Gentleman was confined to his house in consequent^, on Wednesday. It has been said that Lord Goderich lias written to the King, to know whether it was his Ma- jesty's intention that the new Peerages were to be con- ferred as intended. To this inquiry an answer was re- turned by the Duke of Wellington in the affirmative— With respect to the Ministry, nothing is settled.— Times. A messenger sent by the Duke of Wellington : to Lord Melville in Scotland, returned to town with the ! Noble Viscount's answer on Tuesday. It has been ge- ; nerally understood that the final arrangements of the new ! Administration waited for the answer of the Viscount. ' The intercourse daily between, the Lord Chancellor, the j Duke of Wellington, and Mr. Peel, continues with the Noblemen and Gentlemen who formed Lord Liverpool's Cabinet, as well as those in the second and lower de- partments of Government, who assembled on Wednes- day at the house of Mr. Peel, in Privy- gardens, in con- sequence of the Right Hon. Gentleman being indisposed with a very severe cold. Mr. Peel has hitherto dined with the Duke of Wellington, at his Grace's public dinners daily, which are provided whether the Duke be present or not. Mrs. Peel and family have arrived in town.— Morning Herald. It is said that a change in the Secretaryship of the new Governor- General of India is expected. Lord Mandeville was to have filled the office; hut some dread of his zeal for proselytism sprang up t in his Lordship's baggage an immense mass of tracts was discovered. The French plays, at the English Opera- house, commenced on Wednesday evening, before a full house, with Moliere's admirable comedy of Tartuffe, the principal character of which was performed with vast applause by Perlet. It is expected that the company will meet with a season of great success. ft is said to be the opinion of the Turkish Divan, that the Courts of England and France will dis- approve of the departure of their Ambassadors, and that no rupture is to be feared with those powers, even though they should not have direct representatives at Constanti- nople. Letters from Odessa, dated the 28th ultimo, state that the Russian Ambassador, from Constantinople, arrived at that port the 2fith December. The Journal du Commerce states that the Russian army on the Pruth had cut off the communica- tions with Bucharest, in order to prevent their military preparations being known. The same paper affirms that Lord Cochrane had quitted the Greek service, and was on hoard his own vessel, the Unicorn. The last accounts state that military duty was done at Bucharest by the armed inhabitants, and that the military posts were every where doubled. Letters have been received in town from Berlin, dated up to the 2Stth nit. at which time their Royal Highnesses the Duke & Duchess of Cumberland, Prince George of Cumberland, and the rest of their Royal Highness's family, were in the enjoyment of good health. The sight of his Royal Highness's eve, on which tlie operation for cataract had been performed, continued extremely good. Intelligence from St. Petersburgh announces the resignation of Count Nesselrode, the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs, and it was expected that it would immediately be followed by that of the other Members of the Cabinet. Should this prove the case, Europe will ptesJilt the singular spectacle of the complete dissolution ol the three Administrations who concocted and signed the celebrated Greek Treaty. According to accounts from Warsaw, it ap- pears that the Polish army, though not bound to serve out of the kingdom, is willing to march against the Turks, if necessary, hoping tholreby to facilitate the restoration of Poland as an Independent State. M. Varenne, who is attached to the French Legation at Constantinople, has arrived at Paris; he obtained a firman of the Sultan to proceed by lard. Pre- vious to his departure he saw the Ambassadors embark. ft is gratifying to perceive that the Greek Government is now proceeding in earnest to second the views of the Allied Admirals for the suppression of piracy. Two declarations have been issued, prohibiting, under severe penalties, till sorts of piracy, and expressing in strong terms the indignation of the Government on the • subject. Letters have been received from Laguira. to the 24 h of November. It appears that the political condition of Colombia, under the present reign of the rnuch- lauded Bolivar, is any thing hut an enviable one. The Grand Convention is to assemble on the 2d of March. It is certain that the Liberator's administration is verv unpopular. No one appears to have any confidence in it, A floating debt has been created for the settlement of all unadjusted claims, and for the payment of the Commissary Department, & c. ST. PETERSBURGH, Dec. 24.— We have re- <-• iv:•; I bete- by merchants' letters from Odessa, the news ot the departure of the French and English Ambassadors iVom Constantinople on the l! th of this month, where our Ambassador was detained by contrary winds, but was every moment cxpciied in Odessa. For these ten days past both the Court and the public were prepared for this news; it therefore excited no great sensation. This news has led to the sending of several couriers to London and Parrs, as our Government wishes to learn the intentions of the English and French Cabinets, in the present case, before it proceeds to act. Hence it appears that our political course in the affairs of the East is closely defined, and that our Government will act only in the spirit of the Treaty of the fltli of July, without making use of the great resources which it possesses, to effect the pacification, if its Allies should not think it expedient to give their consent to military operations bv land, and leave the execution of them to Russia. BUCHAREST, Dec. 21.— According to the latest accounts from Constantinople of the 14th inst. the departure of M. de Ribeaupierre had so alarmed the Russian subjects, that, notwithstanding the assurar. cas of the Porte, they all embarked, and left that capital. Some French and English families had also withdrawn. HAMBURGH, Jan. 7.— In consequence of the frost, which set in the night before last, the Elbe is covered with ice as far as Altona, and is full of floating iee farther down, so that tile navigation is often in- terrupted. To preserve the tranquility of Ireland, no fewer than seven regiments of cavalry and eighteen of infantry, are deemed to be requisite : at least, that is the amount of the forces now stationed there; besides the expense of twenty- two depots. We regret to stale that liis Majesty is labour- ing under a severe paroxysm of the gout. It will be s> een that Parliament is prdrogued to Tuesday se'nnlght; and as some Members of the House of Commons have vacated their seats, and others must do so, ill consequence ( if being included in the New Ministerial arrangements. Some time must elapse before they are re- elected, And the public business must in con- sequence be farther suspenafcd It is singular that the 2! lth should be fixed on for the meeting of Parliament, as it is the anniversary of the King's Accession, a fes- tival throughout the kingdom, and for which, so. far from being dedicated to secular concerns, there is a Form . of Prayer in our Liturgy. The following day, Wednesday:, is tlie anniversary of King Charles's Martyrdom ; and Thursday, the r. ext succeeding day, is the anniversary of the King's Proclamation, a holiday also; so that in reality Parliament cannot meet till Friday. Tlie Duke of Clarence came to town yester- day morning from his seat in Rushy Park. Ilis Royal Highness held a levee as Lord High Admiral, at the Admiralty, which was attended by a number of flag and other officers. . Mr. Peel had a select party to dinner last night. Among the company were the Lord Chancellor, Earl Bathurst, Mr. Goulburn, & c. Among those lately sent for by express, by the Duke of Wellington, to attend the consultations, was the Earl of Aberdeen, from the Priory at Stanmore. The Duke of Devonshire received acoimira' nication from the King on Wednesday, from an officer of state. The Earl Dudley received a communication from the King on Wednesday evening, from a confidential gentleman attached to his Majesty. The Duke of Devonshire came to town on Wednesday night.

The ominous Council— if so it may be called— of irresponsible Minis- ters, by whom the Parliament of the United Kingdom when legally summoned to meet for the despatch of bu- siness was suddenly prorogued, was actually held in the King's bed- room, His Majesty in bed all tlie while, and unable to move, from an access of gout. A gentleman arrived in London yesterday, who left Constantinople three days before the departure of the Ambassadors, and who travelled across the Conti nent. He says, that the precautions taken by the Turkish Authorities, to prevent even the slightest ground of of- fence to subjects of the three Allied Powers, or any act which could be construed into a hostile feeling towards them, were very remarkable. The Turkish Government is determined, if war commences, that it shall in no re- spect be the aggressor. By letters received from Genoa, it appears, that Admiral Codrington was at Malta on the 18th ult., and no expectation seems then to have existed that new naval operations were shortly to be undertaken. The French papers of Tuesday, anil tlie Ga- zette de France dated Wednesday, arrived last night. The present unsettled state of the British Ministry seems to have attracted almost as much attention at Paris as tilat of their own. It is said, that an express from London, after leaving leiters for Earl Grey at Alnwick, arrived last night in Edinburgh before the mail, with letters for the Karl of Lauderdale and Lord Melville.— Glasgow Chro- nicle. A commercial letter from Paris of Monday last states, that intense interest is felt there in the resuit of the Ministerial arrangements going on on this side of the Channel, because it is conceived, that whatever the character of the new Administration may be, its in fluence will immediately be felt in tile councils of France. PARIS, Jan. 14.— Our new Ministry is, so to speak, in the same tottering state as that which preceded it, immediately before its fall, aboutseight days ago. Formed of heterogenous elements, it contained at its for- mation the germ of its dissolution. In the mean time the 5th of February approaches, and the opening of the Chambers threatens a storm. The Emperor of Russia has made a great number of promotions in the army : the Princes of Wir- temberg and Ernest have been appointed Colonels of the Guards, and 24 Colonels have been made Major- Generals. COPENHAGEN, Jan. 5.— The day before yes- terday there was a violent storm from the south- east, which continued the whole day, until late at night, and and ended with frost and snow. The great number of things which have been washed on shore along the whole west coast of Jutland, proves that the storms which have raged for nearly three weeks in the North Sea, have done great damage. On the 27th of December, 20 new barns at Gnonim, in Mecklenburg, all quite full of corn in the straw, hay, and agricultural implements, were destroyed by fire. FRANKFORT, Jan. 9.— All the news we have received here for some days past, is of a pacific nature. We hear nothing of the passage of the Pruth. The funds have risen considerably in this City, on the arrival of a courier from Vienna, who is said to have brougnt a de- claration of Turkey, tending to a reconciliation with the Three Powers. The rise continues. SEMLIN, Jan. 1.— Letters from Bucharest announce that the Grand Seignor had given orders to as- semble the grandees of the empire at Constantinople, to inform them of the state of things, and to desire their advice. LISBON.— It is stated that according to orders received fmm'tthe Emperor at Rio, his mother is to pro- ceed to Rome, and it is expected that her departure will take place before the arrival of Don Miguel.— French Paper. It is remarked by a recont traveller that there is great reason to believe that the lakes in Sweden are diminishing in their size; and that a corresponding diminution is taking place in the size of the rivers— most, if not all of which, are fed from the lakes'. There is at present a serious dispute between the master manufacturers in the flannel line and their workmen, which, if not compromised, will lead to seven or eight thousand work people, in Rochdale and Bury, losing their work. There has lately, it seems, been an invention of great potency, for the spinning of woollen yarn, introduced into the manufactories at Rochdale, which tlie men refuse to work with, and have turned out against. These men are supported by the Weavers' Union, and there! are some other measures of a similar kind, which the master manufacturers view in the light of unwarrantable dictation ; they have therefore entered into resolutions to refuse employment to all those work- men who shall contribute to the Weavers' Union while these disputes remain unsettled.— Leeds Mercury. In the Court of King's Bench yesterday, the trial of the Rev. Robert Taylor and others, for a con- spiracy to commit blasphemy, was called on ; the Court was greatly crowded, and amongst the audience were many females; it appeared, however, that when the Special Jury panel was called over, two special jurors were absent, in consequence of which the trial was ad- journed. The Rev. defendant protested in strong terms against the adjournment of the trial, but in vain— The Reverend Orator afterwards applied to the Lord Mayor for warrants against Aldermen Atkins and Brown, and the City Solicitor, for a conspiracy against him ; but which were refused, a Police Magistrate not being autho- rised to grant warrants unless upon personal violence. His Lordship said, Mr. Taylor's course of proceeding was by indictment. There is in a village of Piedmont, near Longwy, a young girl, aged 32 months, in whose eves the words " Napoleon Emperor" arc written in small capi- tals, and in a circular position. The mother attributes this singular phenomenon to the impressions she received during tier pregnancy.— French Paper. Last week a resident of Whitstapel, named Bell, with a swivel gun, at one shot, killed eighteen dozen and a half of oxbirds. A heavy storm of thunder and lightning was experienced at Chichester on Sunday morning. At Pet- worth it was still more severely felt, and near the above place, the electric fluid passed through the roof of a house and forced out the windows to a considerable distance, fortunately without doing any personal injury to the in- habitants, who were then in bed. At Eastdean the hail fell with such force that it broke several panes of glass in the windows of the Rev. T. Cogan's house. % the Acts 7th and 8th Geo. IV. chap. 52, penalties are imposed on maltsters for offences under these new Acts to tlie amount of 13,000/. and upwards. There are twulve different penalties of 20/. sixty of 100/ thirty- three of 200/. and one of' 300/. which may be incurred from the time the barley is delivered from the grower for wetting, and during the process for making it into malt, up lo the time it is delivered to the brewer. A petition to remove the disabilities so generally com- plained of by the trade is now lying for signatures at Hull. COURT of KING'S BENCH, Jan. 14.— Fromont v. Ryley.— The Attorney- General stated this case, which was an action of assumpsit brought by the plaintiff, an extensive coach proprietor, residing at Thatcham, on the road from Bath to London, ' i J defendant is proprietor of the York House, Bath, and is also a coach proprietor. The plaintiff is proprietor of the King's Head, Thatcham, and has stabling behind the inn for 100 horses, and being about to retire from business, he disposed of his shares in the Regulator, Express, Defiance, and Marlborough coaches, as well as a branch coach to Swindon, for the consideration of 2,2ot. 7. and with the condition that the coaches should stop as heretofore at the King's Head, and give time to the passengers to breakfast, dine or sup. ac- cordii' to the hour of the day at which the coaches should arrive. The alleged breach of the contract was, that the coaches no longer slopped at the plaintiff's house ( the King's Head) according to the agreement, and that in Consequence of this breach of contract, the plaintiff's interest in the inn and stabling attached, at Thatcham, was greatly reduced in value. The defence was, that th >. accommodation afforded to the coach passengers at the King's Head was so bad that the proprietors were obliged to teke the coaches to other houses.— Verdict for plaintiff— Damages HUIV. Iii the Court of King's Bench yesterday Mr. Joseph Manton recovered a verdict— damages 2." i/.— against Mr. W. Bond, a gunsmith in Holborn, for exporting to India several fowling pieces and pistols marked with the name of the plaintiff, which were not of his manufacture. Needles extracted from various. Parts of the Body. To the. Editor of the London Medical Gazelle. SIR,— Having observed in your Journal an account of a case at the Middlesex Hospital, in which a large pin was removed from the abdominal parietes of a female. I beg to send the notes of an analogous case which occurred to me some time ago. lour obedient servant, Saville- row, Dec. 28. B. C. BRODIE. Mrs. H., a middle- aged woman, had been for a con- siderable time placed under circumstances which made it necessary for her to make exertions beyond those to which sliti Was well equal, and which also occasioned her to undergo a great ileal of anxiety and affliction. When at last these circumstances had ceased to exist, she was left in a State of great nervousness, languor, and depres- sion of spirits, and Subject to fits, apparently connected with hysteria,, in wiur. h she was for a time in a state ap. proaching to that of insensibility. Her complexion was pale; she had little or no desire for food ; and she com- plained of a constant pain, which she referred to a spot on the left side ; about three or four inches in diameter, in the situation of the short ribs. One evening she rung for her maid- servant, and told her that she had dropped a paper containing fifty small needles on a low stool on which she rested her foot, and that she thought some of them had stuck in her leg. It was supposed that previous to her ringing the bell she had been seized With one of the hysterical fits already mentioned. The servant sent to a medical practitioner in the neighbourhood, by whom she was usually attended. This gentleman discovered the er. ds of two small needles projecting through tile skin a little above the ankle, and he extracted them with the assistance of a pair of forceps. On looking at the paper of needles which had been dropped, eight of the needles only were found left out of the fifty which it was said to have contained. The foot- stool was then examined, and at a subsequent period it was broken to pieces, and two or three broken pieces of needles were discovered in it, but nothing more. A few days after this Mrs. H. said that she had disco- vered another needle in her leg. I was now sent for to see her. I found her very nervous and hysterical, and complaining a great deal of pain in her side and leg. I examined the latter, and felt distinctly the extremi- ties of two needles a little below the skin. I made a puncture over each of them with a lancet, and then extracted them with a pair of forceps. A few days after I was sent for again to see her, and I removed two more needles from the leg. At different periods after this, in the course of the ensuing six or eight weeks, several more needles were discovered, which I also extracted. I removed in all as many as twenty- six needles ; two had been taken away before I was called in, so that the whole number amounted to twenty- eight. During the whole of this time Mrs. H. suffered exceedingly with pain in the leg, which became ( edematous, and much swollen. She took scarcely any food; had very little sleep ; be- came still more enfeebled than she liad been before; and none of the remedies which her physician prescribed seemed cither to increase her strength or lessen her suffer- ing. The pain in the left side continued, although she spoke of it less than formerly, on account ( as it appeared) of her attention being occupied by the greater degree of pain in the leg. Towards the end of June, she was observed one after- noon to be weaker and more depressed than she had been before. During the evening the symptoms of exhaus- tion increased ; she gradually fell into a state of insensi- bility, the pulse became imperceptible, and the extremi- ties cold, and at two o'clock on the following morning she expiied. I examined the body in the presence of her other me- dical attendants. No morbid appearances could be dis- covered in any part, except the leg from which the needles had been extracted, the cellular membrane of which was loaded with lymph and scrum. Several needles were found to have been left imbedded ill the cellular membrane. The exact number was not ascertained, but there was reason to believe that they were sufficient, with those formerly extracted, to account for the whole number which have been missing. The side which had been the seat of the pain was very carefuliy examined, but nothing was discovered in it to account for the uneasiness which had been referred to that part. The Officers of the North Devon yeomanry cavalry, at Bideford, last week, volunteered their ser- vises on condition of being exempt the horse duty and the militia. POOLE, Jan. 1( 5.— To those who feel inte- rested in promoting the moral and intellectual improve- ment, and consequently the comfort, of the poorer classes in society, it will be gratifying to learn, that a deputa- tion of gentlemen have been waiting on the principal in- habitants of this opulent town, for the purpose of obtain- ing subscriptions to establish a Public Day School, for the education of the children of the labouring classes, on a plan calculated to embrace those of all religious sects ; it is proposed that two- pence per week shall be paid by the friends of each child towards the expense of his edu- cation ; this, it is thought, will have the effect of ex- citing a greater interest on the part of the parents, and in some degree remove the idea of its being a Charity School, besides materially reducing the expense, as it is intended the master shall receive the pay from the children, in addition tn LI » it calory ; tl, ic wilt BJOU him BQ interest in properly conducting the school— When we consider the great number of boys there are in the town who spend their time in idleness, and thereby acquire habits very injurious to their morals, we trust little more need be said to induce the inhabitants to come forward in sup- port of an object so desirable, particularly when it is re- collected there is no school of the above description in the town. It is intended that the boys shall be instructed in reading, writing, and arithmetic. On Sunday last a tremendous gale of wind from the south- west, accompanied with vivid flashes of lightning and heavy peals of thunder, visited this town and neigh- bourhood ; the tide rose upwards of three feet above its usual level; several vessels drifted from their moorings, but the wind veering to the westward, and the gale de- creasing, no'damage'has been sustained in the harbour. Deplorable Accident.— Wednesday morning, Mr. J. Greening, a highly- Tespected young man of Dor- chester, went to Milborne St. Andrew, to see his friends. Shortly after arriving there, he mounted a spirited young horse for the purpose of hunting, but had not proceeded far, before tile animal plunged so violently, as to throw him so forcibly against a tree, that his head was dashed almost to pieces. Medical assistance was procured with- out delay, but with no hope of saving his life. The city of Exeter was visited by a tremen- dous storm, the wind blowing a perfect hurricane, on the morning of Sunday last, which made great havoc among the roofs of houses, chimneys, & c. Many trees in the neighbourhood fell before the devastating blast, and among them a celebrated poplar in the garden of Mr. Granger, supposed to be one of the finest specimens of this tree in the kingdom. A large Ton Slate, was blown from a roof on Topsham road to the distance of 104 yards, and sunk 12 inches into the ground on which it fell. The Artillery Barracks sustained considerable damage, im mense pieces of lead being roiled up as a scroll, and car- ried by the force of the wind quite off the roof. FALMOUTH, Jan. 15,— For the last week this port has been visited with a continuation of gales. On Saturday r. ight about 12 o'clock, it commenced on a sudden to blow a complete hurricane, until about 4 o'clock on Sunday morning, when it moderated. The majority of the houses in the town have suffered very severely. The damage done in the harbour lias not been so much as was expected. Robbery of the Ledbury Bank.— It appears that two persons who, beyond all doubt, committed the robbery, had been before at Ledbury, but were consi- dered to be travellers. The banking- house was never inhabited at night, but was guarded by an old barber and his wife, who occupied a tenement adj lining, from which a door communicated with the bank. On the last arrival of the thieves, the youngest man callcd at the bather's to be shaved : he discovered that the old couple were very religions in their habits, and he repeated his visits every morning; on the second or third occasion he took with him some religious books, and left them for their perusal. In the course of these conversations, the fellow examined the premises minutely. On Friday morning last ( on the evening of which day the robbery was committed, he made his usual call, and told the old people that a fV'. nd of his, a very pious and clever man, was to preach that evening at a chapel near the town, and he wished they would go to hear him ; they said they could not both leave the house, and held out in this resolution for some time, until the stranger offered to call and accompany them. This was irresistible ; he called punctually at the time, and they proceeded to the chapel ; but a very short time after the service had commenced, the stranger whispered to the barber that he was seized with a sud- den pain in his bowels, and must retire for a while. He went out and did not return ; the barber and his good woman, however, remained until the service had finished. In the mean time the work of plunder had been com- pleted at the bank. The barber s little dwelling was en- tered with false keys, and from thence an easy access was obtained to the banking- house itself. The chief part of the property which the thieves obtained was found by them in an iron chest. The chest had a secret spring ; but they opened it with the greatest ease. Before the credulous barber and his wife returned from chapel, the thieves were many miles on their journey towards Lon- don with their booty. Dreadful Accident.— On Tuesday night, about half- past ten o'clock, a young man of the name of James Crowthers, residing in Gibson- street, New Cut, Lam- beth Marsh, having retired to bed, and finding that tlie snow was penetrating through the ceiling of the room, and dropping on to the bed, got up, dressed himself, and proceeded to the top of the house, for the purpose of clearing the gutter, the stoppage of which he concluded was the cause of the wet making its way into his room. After succeeding in causing the water to run off, here- tiled to the window where lie got out, and while in the act of stepping on the ledge, he missed hii footing, and was precipitated into the yard. He was conveyed into the house, and afterwards to the hospital, in a hopeless state. A singular preservation in natural history is now in the possession of Mr. Bluett, of Taunton ; it is a dove- coloured robin, with a whitish neck and breast, which was shot, a few days since, in the parish of North Petherton.

The" FORGET ME NOT."— In the strong com- petition which has lately subsisted among the publications denominated the " Annuals," not one of them litis main- tained iti claim to public favour more firmly and suc- cessfully than Ackermann's " Forget me not." This beautiful littje book is nearly out of print, owing, no doubt, to its possessing literary gems contributed to it exclusively by Campbell, Moore, and other leading lite- rary characters of the daV, besides numerous graphic embellishments of the very first description. Extract of a letter from Liverpool:—" Al- though the account of the quarter's revenue presents a falling off, as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1827, we have tile pleasure of stating, for the satisfac- tion of our fellow townsmen, that the gross rebel pt of the customs at this port is the largest ever known, exceeding 3,250,000/. sterling ; and the net receipts, after the dis- bursement of the heavy bounties, repayments, expenses, & c., is more than 3,113,000/., which is a great advance upon the last year, and 11) 8,000/. more than even the great trading year of 1825. Miss Turner, of Wakefield celebrity, was a few days since married to Mr. Legh, of Lyme Hall, Cheshire. THAMES TUNNEL.— Mr. Brunei was on Tues- day upwards of an hour in the diving- bell, in " which he remained as long as the tide would permit him ; and again on Wednesday for the space of three hours. All his ob- servations tend to confirm him in the opinion that nothing remains to be done now but to carry on the operations in the same way as he had done in the first instance. Un- fortunately, the violence of the tides, the present badness of the weather, combined with the shortness of the days, render these operations very troublesome ; and, in addi- tion, he is deprived of the assistance of his son, who con- tinues much indisposed, and wholly unable to stir from his couch. Mr. Brunel, junior, has, for the last fiftepn months, been a stranger to abed, very frequently having been obliged to content himself with a rug on the bare boards, to take his rest.— Up to a late hour last night, the exertions for recovering the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers were not attended with success. The operation of filling the bags with clay was continued, and wattling of thorn with sticks was pursued with the greatest activity; seven or eight of the bags are thus united together, and will be lowered on to the spot by ropes ( instead of being thrown at random, as they were last time) through a hole in a raft, which will, no doubt, be placed over the cavity by the aid of the diving bell. POOH LAWS.— A petition to Parliament has been signed by the magistrates, landowners, elegy, yeo- men, and other inhabitants of the three hundreds of Newport, Bucks, praying for a mitigation of the severe grievances arising/ rom the Poor Laws, as well as for the ultimate removal of such parts of them as relate to the maintenance and employment of able- bodied men. GAME LAWS.— The agriculturists of Here- fordshire are about to petition the Legislature on the subject of the Game Laws. The petition, of which we have seen a copy, and which will be ready for signature in a day or two, states that the petitioners are generally tenants of land at rack rents ;— that the quantity of game preserved upon their lands has latterly become most ma- terially destructive to their produce ; and that, although they have not any interest in the game itself ( the abun- dance of which affords a constant temptation to poaching) anil are heavily burthened with national and parochial taxes— they are compelled to pay, in the form of county rates, the expenses of prosecuting poachers, and of sup- porting or transporting them after conviction : and it prays the House of Commons to make such alterations in the Game Laws as may tend to lessen their pressure upon agricultural property, and to throw the cost of pro- secutions under them upon those to whose benefit or enjoyment they are calculated to contribute.— Hereford paper. BEQUEST TO POOR CLERGYMEN.— The late Mr. William Boyce has bequeathed to the Rector and Churchwardens of Christ Church, Surrey, the several sums of 2,( 560/. and 2,215/. stock in the Three per Cent. Consols, and 1,000/. stock in tlie Three per Cent. Reduced, in trust, to distribute one moiety of the dividends arising therefrom to poor distressed clergymen of the Church of England. No restriction or limitation as to locality is annexed to this charitable bequest, and tile distributors of the bounty aie only anxious to impart it where it is most needed. The first coach we read of as used in England is one that Lord Arundel had in 15110; in the reign of James there were hackney coaches. At a public meeting of the butchers of Lon- don and Westminster, held yesterday at Freemasons' Tavern, several Resolutions were entered into, and a Committee appointed for the purpose of taking care cf the interests of the trade. The majority of them are op- posed to the plan suggested for abating the nuisances of slaughtering cattle in the heart of the metropolis. The Old Bailey sessions concluded on Wed- nesday, when 17 prisoners received the awful sentence of death; amongst whom was Nicholas Henningan, for cVwintittjr at Mr. R. Taylor Til i.: pritmiKr, u man about ( 15, declared that he was innocent, even in thought, of having intended any harm to the prosecutor.— Two were ordered to be transported for life, 12 for 14 years, 47 for 7 years, and a great number for minor periods of impri- sonment. HORSE- STEALING.— On the night of tlie 4th inst. two chesnut fillies and a brown nag colt were stolen from Mr. R. Moore, of Cawston, Suffolk. A large reward is offered on the apprehension and conviction of the offenders. gret to state, that Mr. Wollaston, the agent to the Exeter Branch Bank, who was on his way thither with his family, and who happened to be the only passenger then in the coach, had the misfortune to fracture his collar- bone, which confines him for the present at York- house. — Bath Herald. CAUTION TO COACHMEN.— An accident oc- curred on Tuesday night, which was nearly attended with very fatal consequences, arising from the Reading Coach being left without a person to watch the horses on its arrival. The horses set off at full speed, and we re. A violent hurricane blew here about four o'clock on Sunday morning. The wind blew in a great many panes of glass in the houses of Oriental- place, and it also destroyed one of the sails of Mr. Vine's mill on the Church- hill. About eight o'clock the lightning was exceedingly vivid, and several heavy thunder- claps were heard. In the afternoon, several casks of contraband spirits and packages of tea were found along shore, sup- posed to have been thrown overboard the previous night; they were secured by the Coast Blockade.- Brighton Gaz. SHOREHAM.— We were visited on Sunday morning by a most tremendous gale, accompanied with rain, lightning, and thunder. The wind, about six o'clock, increased to a perfect hurricane from the south- west ; many ships in the harbour were forced from their moorings, and driven to the shore, and several barges with their cargoes were sunk. The tempest did indeed " call spirits from the vasty deep," as several casks of brandy, which had been sunk at sea by smugglers, were released from their fastenings by the action of the waves, and Hosting to land became a prey lo the Coast Blockade. A fire broke out on Monday evening about 7 o'clock, at the Morse and Groom, public house, Trow- bridge, through the carelessness of one of the soldiers' wives putting a candle on the bolster, in one of the bed- rooms, which falling down, communicated light to the furnituie— but, we are happy to add, that bv timely as- sistance the injury was prevented spreading further than tlie room in which it originated. Fire Works.— Fatal Accident.— At the lafe anniversary of the new naming of the town of Devon- port, a display of fire works took place in commemora- tion of the event. We regret to say, that ihe occasion was marked by an accident, of the most fatal and dis- tressing nature. While Mr. Henry Kemp, son of Mr. Kemp, of Fore- street, a fine young man, about lii years of age, was i: i the act of lighting a serpent, the sparks by some means communicated to a quantity of fire- works in his trowsers pocket, when an instantaneous explosion took place, by which his apparel was literally blown to atoms, and his person was so dreadfully mangled, that, after lingering two days, he expired. On Monday last, n young woman, named Parvin, residing in the suburbs of Chichester, was found dead in her bed. It is reported that she fell a victim to the taking of a medicine recommended to herbya woman, a neighbour, as a cure for the jaundice, with which the deceased had been afflicted. On Tuesday last, in making the excavation for the Junction Dock, at Hull, an ancient sword was found, nearly opposite St. John's church, about 11 feet from the surface It is of steel, nearly tlnce feet long, and about two feet six inches from the guard to the point. The edge is much indented, as if from severe blows ; the guard is loose, and the handle had been twist- ed with wire, some of which yet remains. The skeleton of n hand was grasping the sword the moment it was found; but on exposure to the air, it mouldered into dust. John Bishop, charged on suspicion of having administered poison ( arsenic) to Elizabeth Farmer, who was pregnant, which caused her death, has been com- mitted to Hereford gaol. The unfortunate woman lived as a servant in the parish of Horeton Jeffries, where the prisoner also was in service, and at an inquest held on her body before W. Pateshall, Esq. coroner, immediately aftet her death,' it appeared the deceased had rose early on Friday morning the llith of November, and went out to milk the cows; she was soon afterwards found in a very weak state, conveyed to the house of her mistress, and notwithstanding the greatest and most humane at- tentions died soon afterwards. The testimony of two medical gentlemen resident at Bromyard, proved that the deceased was enceinte, and had died in consequence of taking arsenic. Certain circumstances occasioned a suspicion that tire poison was administered to . the deceased by Bishop ; the Jury, however, returned a verdict that " nic ; but it did nbt appear from the evidence whether she had taken the said arsenic of her own accord, or whether it had been administered to her by some other person, with intent to cause her death."

THE Herb COLTSFOOT LI IS LONG bet rt JL distinguished for its excellent properties in the cute of Coughs, and other Pulmonary Complaints; and tlfs 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 allays the tickling which pro- vokes frequent coughing, cleanses the small glands, re- laxes the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavitics of tlie vessels.

STATE OP TRADE.— The commencement of tile new year has been auspicious to the cotton trade; the business done during the last fortnight being more exten- sive than we have noticed in the same period for some time. There has also been a very general improvement in the price of unfinished goods, and the stocks of calicoes have not been so low for a considerable time. The ship- ments for the United States are, we believe, uncommonly large; and it is expected that the demand for the Conti- nental markets will, this spring, be much greater than usual.— Manchester Herald. Since the commencement of the new year, an immense quantity of coarse cotton yarn lias been sold, chiefly from No. 36 to 70. This lively demand is owing to the great consunption of coarse twist used ill power loom goods, and to the large shipments of yarn. More business is also doing in the finer Nos.; but there is yet no advance in price.— Glasgow Chronicle. The workmen in the Staffordshire iron- works are well employed, and are obtaining good wages. The demand for iron is good, though at low prices.— Worces- ter Journal. Friday morning a poor man was found frozen to death on the London- road.— Bath paper. DEVONPORT, Jan. 13.— Shortly after twelve o'clock last night a violent hurricane came on from the south- west; at one o'clock signals of distress were heard from the Sound; when day- light broke we were pre- sented with a scene only equalled in horrors by the dis- astrous night of Nov. 1824. There were altogether 13 vessels on shore ; six in Deadman's Bay ; six in Mount Batten Bay, and one in Bovisand Bay. Bhnrtpore Prize Money.— After deducting l- 8th part as Lord Combermere's share, there will be about 3001. sterling to each subaltern officer engaged. There have lately been numerous and curious additions to the rare collection of exotics, & c. in the Botanical Gardens at Kew, to the amount of 11,000— many of them imported from New South Wales. Yesterday the Court of Common Council granted 100/. for fitting up Guildhall for the Concert for the benefit of the Spanish and Italian refugees, which is to take place on the I3ih of next month. His present Majesty when Prince of Wales, was dining with the Earl of Egremont, at a time when one of his Lordship's sous had, for some cause of offence, been forbid jiis presence. His Royal Highness under- took to effect a reconciliation, and after dinner requested leave to introduce a friend. Lord Egremont of course consented, and his son appeared, but was ordered im- mediately to quit the room. u I am honoured," said the Noble Earl, addressing the Prince, " by the presence of your Royal Highness, but I will be master of my own house." Dr. Hoffman, speaking of water, says, " If there is in nature a medicine that deserves the name of universal, it is, in my opinion, common water, of the best and purest kind. The use of this is so ncce- ssary to us all, that we can neither live, nor preserve our bodies sound and healthy, without it. for it guards against every disease, protects and defends the body from all kind of corruption that may prove fatal to life, and answers all possible intentions of cure ; so that without it, no disorder, whether chronic or acute, can be happily and successfully removed. For confirmation of this opinion, I do not insist on the medicinal springs, but con- tine myself to common water— but, of the best and purest kind. If every physician would make it his practice carefully to examine into the quality of the water used in the houses he visits, he might confidently hope to firactise with more satisfactiou to himself, and benefit to lis patients." At the Bath theatre on Wednesday evening, the performances were for the benefit of Mrs. Ashton and Miss Cooke, who are as yet not able to resume their pro- fessional duties, hut it is hoped they will soon be so. The proprietors of the theatre gave them a free benefit, and to the honour of the Bath play- goers, the house was crowded to excess. CORN- EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, Jim. 18.

Bath Branch of the " Incorporated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts.' The annual meeting of the Bath Branch of the above Society, was held on Wednesday last at the Guildhall, and was more numerously attended than ever before remembered ; the Lord Bishop of the Diocese presided on the occasion, and was supported by the Bi- shops of Norwich, and Down, the Rector, all the local Clergy of the Establishment, Hon. Capt. Noel, Sirs A. Elton and Orford Gordon, Col. Daubeney, & c. & c. The Rt. Rev. Chairman, having first offered up prayers to in- voke the blessings of the Almighty upon their labours, opened the business of the day by concisely explaining the objects ef the Society, and in what respect it differed from that of the " Society for the Promotion of Chris- tian Knowledge," the latter being intended for the diffu- sion of pure and sound religious knowledge at home, and the former for the dissemination of God's word through- out the wide world, but more immediately among the dependencies of the British Empire. It appeared that in Hindostan, there were 80 millions of our fellow sub jects, on whom the light of Christ had not yet shone, and we could not with justice deny to them that blessing which we enjoy ourselves. In so doing, we not only conformed to the injunction laid upon us by our Saviour to " Go and teach - all nations," but we became fellow- labourers with him in the vineyard. The report contained matter of congratulation, and some regret, the latter only arising from the cramped means and resourses of the Society to carry its intentions into effect. ( After detailing the exertions made by the Bishops of Nova Scotia, Quebec and Calcutta, it instanced a district in the State of New Brunswick, which, with a population of Hi, 000 souls, had but one minister, and the inevitable result was, that they knew as little of God in this world as the heathen that never heard his name. Still, the efforts of the Society were blessed with astonish- ing success, and required only the cordial and earnest support of the well- wishers to its objects. The meeting was afterwards addressed by the Bishops of Norwich and Down; by the Rev. Archdeacon Moysey, Mr. Brymer, and Mr. Harvey Marriott; Col. Daubeny, Hon. Capt. Noel, Sir Abraham Elton, & c. On Wednesday night four carl horses were stolen out of a stable at the Warren Farm, near Guild ford, belonging to Mr. William Smallpiece. In the morning they were traced in the direction of the Great Western Road. PRICE OF STOCKS. I Sat. Mon. Tues. Wed Thu. Frid. Bank Stock 208^ 209J 208 201W 208) » V Cent.

The County business commenced with the Treaurer's quarterly report, which stated that the balance at the close of the sessions would he about 4400/, which would barely cover the expected expenses of the following quar- ter, and that therefore a whole rate would be necessary, which was ordered accordingly— The quarterly reports ns to the County Prisons, were in general satisfactory On the motion of Sir Thomas Baring, a salary was voted to Mr. Wm. Drew, the cryer of the court, iii compensa- tion for the loss of fees, to the amount of about 40/. an- nually, of which he had been deprived by a recent sta- tute. Mr Drew was highly complimented on the satis- factory discharge of his official duties. At a meeting of the Trustees of the Hampshire Friendly Socicty, held the same morning, the quarterly accounts were passed, 4fi new members admitted, and 100/. more ordered to be invested in the Bank of England.

At Romsey sessions, held on Monday before R. W. Missing, Esq. Recorder, and the town magistrates, James Bulpitt, aged 18, was indicted for having fraudu- lently obtained, in the name of Mr. Charles John Hall, two guns from Mr. S. Moody, cutler, of that town. It appeared that the prisoner, who had left the service of Mr. Hall nearly three years ago, went to the shop of Mr. Moody o'l the morning of the 5th of December, and re- quested to have a gun to take to his master. In the after- noon of the same day he called again at the prosecutor's shop, and said that Mr. Hall intended to keep the gun, and wanted another, which was given to the prisoner by the prosecutor's son. The Jury found the prisoner " Guilty;" after which he pleaded guilty to another in- dictment against him for fraudulently obtaining from Mr. Stephen Witt a pair of gaiters, on the 18th of December. The learned Recorder, after expressing his regret that one so young in years should lie so old in crime, sentenced the prisoner to be transported for seven years. William Summers, for an assault on Thomas Little, while assisting the constables on the nth of November . last, wdi fined ill.— George Cole and Joseph Floyd, for WEYMOUTH, Jan. 18. His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester and buito are returned to Lulworth Castle. At a general meeting of the Corporation, held at the Guildhall in this borough on Thursday, Capt. Andrews, Mr. T. H. Martin, Mr. G. Arden, Mr. T. M. Horsford, and Mr. H. Tizard, were elected Principal Burgesses of of the Corporation of this town, and took the oaths accordingly. The Rev. H. F. and Mrs. Yeatman are just arrived on a visit to Mrs. Wolcott, at that lady's residence in Pultency Buildings. On Thursday evening Mrs. Bayles Wardell, in the Belvidere, gave a most splendid ball and supper to the Officers of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards and a large party of ladies and gentlemen. The supper given was served up by Norton in a most superior style Upjohn's hand was in attendance, and dancing was con- tinued until the approach of morn, when the company retired highly delighted. On Thursday was married at Wyke Regis, by the Rev. John Horsford, J. Syms, Esq. of Brimly, Dorset, to Emily, youngest daughter of the late Capt. Deerling, of this town. being concerned in a riot on the 5th of November last, were discharged at the instance of the prosecutor, with a severe admonition from the learned Recorder. On Tuesday a meeting of the inhabitants was held at the Guildhall, in this city, to consider of an address of congratulation to the Right Rev. Dr. Sumner, Lord Bishop of Winchester, upon his elevation to the episcopal see of this diocese. An address was proposed by Mr. H. Lloyd, and seconded by Mr. John Young, and agreed to ; and the Mayor was pleased to consent to sign the same in the name of the meeting. PREFERMENT IN THE CHURCH.— The Rev. Lovich Cooper, B. A., Minister of South Lambeth Chapel, in the diocese of Winchester, and Domestic Chaplain to the Marchioness Dowager of Clanricarde, has been instituted to the Rectory of Ingoldesthorpe, Norfolk, on his own petition. The Earl of Guilford has appointed the Rev, George Hammond, M. A. Fellow of Merton College, and Rector of Hannington, Hants, his Lordship's Do- mestic Chaplain— The Rev. Heury Worsley, D. C. L. of St. Mary Hall, Hector of St. Lawrence, Isle of Wight, and Minister of St, John's Chapel, Hampstead, Middlesex, lias been appointed Domestic Chaplain to the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon. After the enthronement of our new Lord Bishop on Thursday se'nnight, his Lordship and a select party of the nobility, clergy, and gentry of the neigh- bourhood, were invited by our worthy Mayor to an elegant dinner at St. John's House. After dinner, the Mayor proposed his Lordship's health, and his Lordship returned thanks in an appropriate speech. Shortly after- wards his Lordship gave the health of the Mayor and Corporation of Winchester; and said he trusted that the public bodies in this kingdom would always co- operate with the ecclesiastical in preserving and maintaining the true principles of Christianity, and upholding the in- tegrity and dignity of the Established Church. The worthy Mayor returned thanks, in the name of the Cor- poration, and expressed a hope that the civil and eccle- siastical authorities would ever be united; and he trusted that this Corporation would ever be eager and zealous to support the Established Church. Bishop of Winchester's Charge to the Clergy of his Lordship's late diocese of Llandaff. " My reverend Brethren ( observes the Bishop), in addressing you by this title, expressive at once of respect and affection, it is doubtless my first wish to give ut- terance to the sentiments of my own heart towards a body of men with whom the Providence of God has been pleased to bring me into such close connexion." And having declared the object and design of Episcopal Visitations, his Lordship continues—" As regards my own part in them, I would wish to meet you, not as ' having dominion over your faith,' but as an ' helper of your joy;' not as 4 lording it over God's heritage,' but as1 being jealous over you with godly jealousy.'" With reference to some statistical returns the Welch Clergy had been required to make regarding the state of their cures, the Bishop remarks :—" Of the accuracy of these returns, the Clergy who have transmitted them are the best judges ; hut on the supposition that any tiling like this statement be a true representation of the condition of the Established Church in these parts, it is indeed a subject calling for serious reflection on the causes which have led to it, for deep humiliation on account of this spiritual desert, and for unceasing and fetvent prayer for a more abundant measure of divine favour on the pa- rochial Ministry. In reply to the Circular Query re- upecting the probable cause of the deficiency, it is attri- buted, in some few instances, to the want of a resident Clergyman, to the negligence of a former Pastor, or to the distance of the Church from the bulk of the popula- tion ; but, in the greater number of answers, it is as- cribed either to the activity of the dissenters, or to the indifference of the people to all religion. If it be meant that the dissenters are more active than the Established Church, in promoting the cause of religious truth, ac- cording to their own view of it, it follows, that we have been unmindful of our solemn promise 1 to be ready with all faithful diligence to banish and drive away all erro- neous and strange doctrines contrary to God's Word,' and haVe not done all that lieth in us, according to our bounden duty, to bring all such as are committed to our charge ' unto that agreement in the faith and knowledge of God, and to that ripeness and perfectness of age in Christ, that there be no place left among us, either for error ill religion, or for vieiousness in life.' In such case, it behoves us to call to mind the solemn admonition of our Church—' If it shall happen the same Church, or any member thereof, to take any hurt or hindrance by reason of your negligence, ye know the^ reatness of the fault, and also the horrible punishment that will ensue ' Nay, if it could be indeed believed that the examples of ministerial activity were to be found only in the ranks of dissent, the friends of religion might well be excused fur adopting the words of the Apostle, until a portion of the lame zealous and energetic spirit were infused into the ministrations of the members cf our own Communion;— 4 What then, notwithstanding every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea and w ill rejoice.' " In a subsequent part of the charge his Lordship thus expresses himself;—" From the discharge of public duty, I pass to private teaching. No plan is likely to be more salutary, none more efficient for recommending our Mi- nistry, than the establishment of schools connccted with the Church. The pitict- icc of eatcihislii); " ihc youiifc anil ignorant," us directed by the fifty- ninth Canon, is, 1 fear, more unfrequent than is desirable. The only case in which it can be at all proper to omit it, is when the chil- dren can be more conveniently instructed in the funda- mental articles of religion at the parish school. But, even under these circumstances, I can venture to assure you, from my own experience as a parochial Minister, that parents as well as children may derive much advan- tage from catechetical examinations in the face of the congregation ; especially if the questions are accompanied witii such familiar and practical expositions as the subjtct suggests." This admirable address to the Welch Clergy, " worthy ( as it has been well said) of the best days of primitive episcopacy," closes with a most solemn appeal:—" I will not ( says the Bishop) detain you longer, my reverend brethren, with remarks which your own reflections on the tenor of the queries I have circulated have probably rendered unnecessary. I will only remind you, in con- clusion, that there is something still wanting, when every care has been taken for the better ordering of the palpa- ble and visible worship of God amongst us, something without which it will be as a body without a soul— the form and semblance of Christianity without its power and substance. I take for granted that every provision has been or will be made for the decency of our outward religion— more frequent opportunities of assembling together in public afforded— the truth preached as it is in Jesus— our flocks duly visited— their wants enquired into— their bibles mul- tiplied— the sick attended . without waiting for a summons — the Church carried, as it were, to those who from age or distance are unable to be present at the public minis- trations. But all this and more may be done, without arriving at the mark of real devotion, or promoting the worship of God in spirit and in truth. The Church may he regulated externally, but that which is within may yet remain unsanctified and impure. That God's blessing may prosper our ministry, it must be begun, continued, and ended ill prayer. Except the Lord keep the house, ( and more especially his own house, the temple of the heart, wherein the Holy Ghost has promised to dwell,) their labour is but lost that build it. In the spirit of prayer, therefore, let us entreat of God for our people, that, ac- cording to his promise, lie will bo alway with his Church, even to the end of the world, and that " the abundant grace might, through the thanksgiving of many, rtdound to the glory of God." For ourselves, that we may be enabled to rentier up our account with joy, and say, if possible, with the great Shepherd of Souls himself—" of those whom thou hast given me, have I lost none." Our new Lord Bishop has liberally con- tributed the sum of 100/. towards the fund for the en- largement of the County Hospital, and entered his name us an annual subscriber of 20/. It is highly gratifying to notice the benevo- lence of individuals, who, at this inclement season, evince a generous and sympathising feeling for the necessitous poor; the worthy resident of Somerly House, Henry Baring, Esq. has lately given to the neighbouring poor 1140lbs. of beef, 200 loaves of bread, a large quantity of blankets, clothing, fitc. J. Mills, Esq. of Bistern, has als i supplied the poor of that parish with various clothing, & c- Romsey Market on Thursday was moderately supplied with cattle and sheep, the latter of which me' with a brisk sale at better prices than have been obtained for several preceding markets: pigs still realize high prices. The corn trade remains in a dull state at last week's prices. On Sunday last died, at the house of his sister, Lady Silvester, in Bloomsbury- square, London, Thomas Lewis Owen Davies, Esq., late of Alresford, Hants. Died at the house of Wm. Borradaile, Esq Wandsworth, in his 83d year, the Rev. John Barwis, of Langrigg Hall, Cumberland, and Rector of Niton and Godshill, in the Isle of Wight. On the 7th inst. died, at Lyndhurst. univer- sally regretted, Mrs. Nightingale, sen., aged 82 years. CHRISTCHURCH, Jan. 19.— This part of the coast was visited on Sunday morning last by a tremen- dous hurricane of wind from the south- west: on the pre- vious day, although it was a calm, the roaring of the sea was truly astounding, the sure precursor of a tempest, which commenced at midnight, and increased in fury towards the morning, with all its concomitant honors of thunder, lightning, hail, and rain :— the latter element, from its almost unceasing operation for several weeks, has inundated the whole country, and rendered the situation of many families most distressing; and at present there is little prospect of its melioraiion, as the two rivers, Stour and Avon, are overcharged to an unprecedented degree, and have to disembogue through a strait not more than fill yards wide. The principal damage caused by the storm ill this immediate neighbourhood, is the west win- dow of the venerable Church blown in, and the sloop " Good Intent," partly coal- laden, broke from her moor- ings, and driven into a meadow. The following inquests have been taken by Mr. Todd, during the present week: — At Lower Wallop, on the body of Frederick Charles Ramsbury, who was found dead in bed bv hi:, mother's side. Verdict, " Vi- sitation of Cod."— At Barton Stacey, on the body of James Elliott, who was killed by a cart laden with flint 6tones passing over his body. Verdict, " Accidental."— At Hutsley, on the body of Elizabeth Burton, aged about seven years, who was burnt to death ill conse- quence of her clothes taking fire during the temporary absence of her mother. Verdict, " Accidental. — At Hinton Ampner, on the body of Wm. Stubington, who died suddenly. Verdict, " Visitation of God." 03- In the adv. of the Winchester City Address to the Bishop, which appears in the 1st page, the following should have been stated:— " The Mayor having left the chair, it was resolved unanimously, that the thanks of the meeting be given to him for his readiness in calling the meeting, and for his kindness in taking the chair." Southampton. SATURDAY, JANUARY 19. On Sunday morning early this town was vi- sited with a violent gale of wind, accompanicd with flashes of vivid lightning. It continued with partial lulls until 9 o'clock, when it gradually abated. To add to its consequences it was a spring tide, and many ships in the river were driven from their moorings, and ran on shore in all directions. It was a most fortunate circumstance that the wind, violent as it was, lay down the river ; for had it blown from the eastwaid, at the time the spring tide rose, there is no doubt but that the damage would have been most extensive, and all the lower part of the town would have been overflowed ; as it was, it had the effect of checking the tide, and rendering its operation comparatively harmless. At our quarter sessions yesterday, John La- vington was indieted for violating the person of Ann Bavan Buckle, an infant eight ycais old. The evidence of the child was most convincing, and the prisoner, be- ing found guilty, was sentenced to 12 calendar months imprisonment in the common gaol, and to pay a fine of 20/. and be further imprisoned till such fine is paid— Charles Cooper, for assaulting George Sweetingham, was sentenced to 2 months imprisonment in the house of cor- rection, and to keep the peace for 12 months ; and Wm. Norman, for assaulting Nathaniel Anderson, was fined 1J. and bound to keep tile peace for 12 months. Prince Miguel and suite arrived at the King's Arms, Dorchester, about six o'clock on Wednesday evening, and proceeded next morning towards Plymouth. Whilst at the King's Arms, several officers of the 4th Dragoons, and other individuals of distinction, were introduced to his Royal Highness. The Rev. John Lukin, Rector of Nutshalling, near Romsey, at his audit a few days since, made an abatement of ten per cent- on his tithes, throughout the parish. BIRTH.— In Laura- place, Southampton, the lady of Orlando Orlebar, Esq., of a son. On Sunday last died, aged 21, the Hon. Caroline, Lady of Sir Robert Gore Booth, Bart, and daughter of the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Lorton, Bridge House : her Ladyship's remains were yesterday interred in the Catacombs of All Saints Church. Sunday died, aged 19th months, William, the infant son of Mr. Edward Balk, chemist and druggist. Arived : Diligent, Porter, from Guernsey— John Thomas, Cordon, from Dublin— Queen Charlotte, Brine, from Weymouth — Albion, Chandler, and Swift, Brown, from London— Dasher, Rosser, from Bangor— Watersprite, Brumfield, from Havre— and Guernsey Lilly, Westlake, from Jersey Sailed: Mediator, Gilchrist; Asenath, Wake ; Relief, Ayns- ley ; and Atlantic, Scott, for Sunderland— Honor, Harrison, for Newcastle— Garland, Youngson, for Aberdeen— Æolus, Priaulx, and Edith, Oake, for Guernsey. Salisbury. MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 1828. TO ADVERTISERS. The PRINTERS have lately experienced great incon- wnlcnce from receiving odvertitemenU for this jiaper on Saturday afternoon, and have in consequence been obliged to omit sci'eral. The recent alteration in the time of de- livering the mails, renders it necessary that the paper should go to press early on Saturday evening;— advertise- meat* ought therefore to be. received on Saturday morning at the latest; and indeed all that could be sent before ( especially bug advertisements) xhouUl be so sent. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. The H. H. will meet on Monday, Jan. 21, at Herriard House; on Tuesday, at Hinton House; on Thursday, at Bradley; and on Saturday, at Windmill Hill: at 10 o'clock. N. F.

The general quarter sessions of the peace for this county commenced at Devizes, on Tuesday, before a full bench of magistrates. Considerable interest had been excited, from a rumour that the magistrates intend- ed to enter into resolutions respecting an aspersion which it was conceived had been cast upon some of their body, in the petition of the Rev. Mr. Bowles to his Majesty, praying a mitigation of the sentence passed on Catherine Cook. Mr. Estcourt ( who presided at the Marlborough sessions) consented to take the chair; and a long and somewhat warm discussion took place on the resolutions, which censured the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Bowles. Mr. Paul Methuen supported them, and Lord Folkestone and Mr. Benett opposed them, defending the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Bowles. They were eventually carried, it is said, by a majority of 21 to 11. Several gentlemen of the county ( not magistrates) were desirous of being present at the discussion ; but a majority of the magis- trates, on its being put to the vote, determined that the meeting should be private. The private business of the county, which is usually got through on the Tuesday, was not finished~ until the fo enoon of Wednesday. The court for the trial of pri- soners, Ac. did not, in conscquencc, open until nearly one o clock, as usual. The calendar exhibited the extraordinary number of 120 prisoners for trial; but Mr. Estcourt, in his charge to the Grand Jury remarked that none of the alleged crimes required any particular observation from him. A second Court was immediately opened, in which Mr, Locke presided. ( The sentences of the prisoners had not reached the Printers when this paper wont ro press.) Dorset quarter sessions commenced on Tues- day. before Charlton Byam Wollaston, Esq. ( Chairman) Sir W. Oglander, and Sir J. Smith, Barts., Sir Robert Steele, Knt. and K. C. S., Edw. B. Portman, Esq. M. P. J. Frampton, William Morton Pitt, J. J. Farquliarson, J. J. Smith, J. White, H. Monro, F. J. Brown, J. H Brown, D. O. P. Okeden, H. Seymor, H. C. Sturt, G. T. Jacob, Esqrs.; and the Revds. Canon Digby, John Davis, John Parsons, T. Goforth, J. Pickard, and H. F. Yeatman, & c. Afc'r the opening of the Court, the Magistrates met in the Grand Jury Room, and disposed of some business relating to the civil affairs of the county. The munificent donation of F. J. Brown, Esq. was gratefully accepted by the magistrates on the part of the county, and, in addition to the ancient mansion, gardens, and premises of Forston House, and 4000/. to be invested in Government secu- rities, for its endowment as a County Lunatic Asylum, Mr. Brown proposes himself to defray the expence of the Act of Parliament, which is required for the legal esta- blishment of tile same. A committee of magistrates was appointed to take such steps as may be necessary, and arrange a plan for carrying Mr. Brown's benevolent in tentions into full effect. On the succeding morning the Magistrates assembled in Court, and proceeded to transact the general county business: C. B. Wollaslon, Esq. presiding in the Nisi Prius, and D. O. P. Okeden, Esq. in the Criminal Court. The following sentences were passed :— 7 years transportation— Thos. Love, for stealing 4 so. vereigns from the person of Jesse Gregory, at Melcombe Regis— George Sims, for stealing wheat belonging J. J. Farquharson, Esq. Hard Labour :— George Nother, James Purchase, and Stephen Scott, for assaulting James Cross and Andrew Cross ; Job King, for stealing poultry at Sutton Poyntz ; Reuben Macey, for stealing brass at Bothenhampton ; and Joseph Hansford, for assaulting Robert Hunt; 12 months— Wm. Croom, for stealing a silver spoon at Brad- poll, 9 months— Samuel Hooper, for stealing potables; George Samson, for ponching; and James Burt, for a riot and assaulting Henry Hardy; 8 months— John Locke, Joseph Lucas, and George Burt, for a riot and assault on Henry Hardy ; Wm. Robinson, for a theft at Upway; George Furzy, William Harris, and Samuel Doling, for poaching ; 3 months— Charles Maidment, for poaching, 2 months— Ambrose Whitemarsh, for stealing potatoes at Shaftesbury, 1 month, and once publicly whipt— Charles Pitman, Thomas Toomer, Wm. Davis, and Moses Greenham, for thefts, 1 month each. Imprisonment:— Wm. Bartlett, fot assaulting John Bailey, at Wimborn, ( i months, and bound to keep the peace— Barbara Godwin, loi a theft, 1 month. His Royal Highness Prince Miguel passed through this city on Wednesday afternoon, about two o'clock, on his route to Plymouth, having left Stratfield- say, the seat of the Duke of Wellington, the same morn- ing. His Royal Highness and suite stopped for a short time, antl took refreshments, at the Prince Regent's Ho- tel, where Mr. Johnson had mnde suitable preparations for the reception of the illustrious foreigner. The Prince, on being recognized, was much cheeied by the populace. His Royal Highness and suite were escorted into the city, and for some distance in their progress out of it, by the Salisbury trocp of yeomanry cavalry; and on parting from the troop, his Royal Highness expressed to the commanding officer, Lieut. Peniston, his acknowledg- ments and thanks for the attention they had shown him. A most splendid ball and supper were given on Thursday last by Miss Hussey and by Mr. Ambrose Hussey, at his house in New- street, to a very large party, consisting of the principal families of this city and neigh- bourhood : we never recollect to have witnessed an en- tertainment in better style, or conducing more to the comfort of those who partook of it. An excellent qua- drille band attended from Bath, and the dancing con- tinued till past three o'clock on Friday morning. The subscription for the relief of the suf- ferers by the floods in the neighbourhood of this city, amounts now but to 65/. Is. and it is much to be wished that their deep distress would meet with adequate consi- deration from the benevolent. The poorer classes of Fisherton are peculiarly deserving notice, the street having been completely overflooded from the river Avon during four days of the last week, all of which time the ground floors of many of the housas were wholly under water. The distress, through want of fuel and warm clothing, may easily be conceived. BLANDFORD, Jan. 14.— On Wednesday the 9th inst. a grand dinner was given to J. J. Farquharson, Esq. by the members of that gentleman's hunt, each of whom had the option of introducing a friend. At seven o'clock, seventy gentlemen sat down to dinner at Spooner's Crown Hotel, the Earl of Digby in the chair, supported by J. J. Farquharson and E. B. Portman, M. P. Esqrs. W. Hanham, Esq. acted as caterer, and his well known taste and ability have never shone more conspicuously than on this occasion, the dinner displaying every deli- cacy of the season, and the wines proving of the finest quality and flavor. Nearly all the party being in scarlet hunting coats, the coup d'oeil was particulaily striking. On the cloth being removed, the noble Chairman pro- posed the health of Mr. Farquharson, antl never was a toast received with greater or sincerer enthusiasm and applause. The huntsman and whippers- in ( for whom a handsome dinner was also provided) then made their ap- pearance, and drank Mr. Farquharson's health in a bumper of champagne, out of an elegant silver cup ( a fox's head) presented on that evening to the huntsman by the Vice- President, J. J. Smith, Esq. They also gave the chorus to the toast Mr. Farquharson, with much feeling, returned thanks in a very suitable speech. Nu- merous other toasts were drunk, and the meeting did not separate till a late hour. The utmost harmony and con- viviality prevailed throughout the evening.— In popu- larity Mr. Farquharson stands unrivalled, being beloved and respected by all classes: in whatever point of view his public or private character may be regarded, it will appear equally amiable and meritorious ; and happy in- deed would it be for the county of Dorset, were there more like him. The Committee of Management of the Dor- set County Friendly Society, held their quarterly meet- ing at Dorchester, on Tuesday ; Edward Berkeley Port- man, Esq., M. P., in the chair; when the accounts, & c. were approved, and the sum of 400/. ordered to be in- vested in Government debentures. In our account of the Salisbury ball last week, we omitted to mention that a set of new quadrilles called the Falls of Niagara, composed by Mr. F. W. Smith, of this city, were performed by Reynolds's band, and very much admired. BIRTH.— On Thursday, the lady of the Rev. S. Littlewood, Perpetual Curate of Edington, of a son. On Tuesday the 15th instant wag married, at St. George's, Hanover- square, by the Rev. W. H. Rham, Vicar of Winkfield, William Douglas, Esq., eldest son of the late Rev. Canon Douglas of Salisbury Cathedral, to Selina Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Colonel Rooke, of Martinsherne, Berks. On Thursday the 17th inst. was married, at Pentridge, by the Rev. Mr. Arnold, Mr. Elias Luter, of Woodyates, to Miss Mary Sarjent, of the above place. Married, Mr. Wm. Kington, jun. of Trow- bridge, to Miss M. A Edmonds, of Bath. On the 12th inst. was married at Compton Bassett, by the Rev. Mr. Musgrave, Mr. J. Robbins, of Bulford, to Sarah, youngest daughter of the late Mr. J. Spackman, of Compton Bassett. Died on Sunday night the 13th instant, aged 72, the Rev. Mr. Jacob, of the Close, Prebendary of Roscombe, Berks, and diocese of Sarum. As a man, a magistrate, and a Minister, lie was truly exemplary in the discharge of his duties. His character throughout life was marked by simplicity, integrity, and benevolence. — The remains of this lamented divine were interred in our Cathedral on Saturday last. Monday last died at Chapmanslade, aged 72, after a protracted illness, Maria, relict of Mr. Edward Mortimer, late of Westbury, in this county.
