LETTERS from Corfu, dated Dec. 10, J announce that the Ambassadors were still at Poros on the 4th of December; it was supposed they would soon leave that place for Malta, but that they had not yet received the permission which they had asked of their Government to leave Poros. London, MONDAY, DECEMBER 29. A Cabinet Council was held at three o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Foreign Office, Downing- street, which was attended by the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Aberdeen, Viscount Melville, Lord Ellen- borou,' li, Mr. Secretary Peel, Sir George Murray, and Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald. The Ministers remained ill de- liberation upwards of two hours and ahalf. WINDSOR, Dec. 2S.— This forenoon nis Ma- jesty's su * and a portion of the Royal Household, at- tended Divine Service at St. George's Chapel. The Duke of Wellington arrived at the Castle yesterday about half- past one o'clock. His Grace had an audience of his Majesty, and after partaking of refreshmentss left in the eve ling for London. His Majesty seemed yesterday to la' oar under the effects of a slight cold; but we are happy to state that he is this day quite well. His Ma- jesty visitors took an airing both yesterday and Friday, in , h pony phaeton, in the Great Park. he Duke and Duchess of Gloucester paitl a visit Friday to the Queen of Portugal, with whom their Royal Highnesses partook of an elegant drjeune. It is still reported that the Marquis of An- plesea will shortly resign the Viceroyship of Ireland, and tli t other important change! are in contemplation which vi 1 render tl-. e Noble Marquis the last Lord Lieutenant of that portion of the empire. THE REVENUE. — It is a source of much gra- tification to be enabled to state, that up to the present date, the returns in the different branches of the Revenue present an increase upon the whole of more than half a million over the corresponding quarter in the last year. The quarter day for making up the returns will be the 6th of this month. Tfce banking- house of Messrs, Remington, Stephenson, A Co. of Lombard- street stopped payment ( on Saturday; and the alarm occasioned by the suspension • was increased by a report that Mr. Rowland Stephenson, one of the partners, M. P. for Leominster, and Treasurer of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, had absconded with mini., together with a large amount in Exchequer Bills ( iS5,000i.) ,. , . . „ A grand Installation of the Knights Compa- nions of the Order of the Bath is, it is said, to take place in May next, m Westminster Abbey; after which the members of the United Service Club intend giving a superb ball and supper. . So rigid are the inquiries which the Duke ol " Wellington has caused to be made into the various de- partments of the public expenditure, that by a circular • which has been transmitted within the last Week from the Treasury, even the most minute heads of expense arc ordered to be forthwith reported upon. Tile utmost exertion is making to place all these minor branches upon tho most economical system. Ten clerks have been removed from the Army Pay Office, under the present system of reduction and retrenchment. It is said that thB Naval and Military Officers • will be appointed to fill the situations in the Public De- partments at home and in the Colonies which may become vacant, ns a saving will thereby be made to the public of tlieir half- pay. The Russian Government has published an official account of the late campaign, which describes the progress of the Russian troops to have been altogether triumphant. Four transports, with Portuguese emigrants on board, are read V to sail from Plymouth, and only wait for a fair wind. It is said ihey are bound to Terceira. His Majesty's friga e Doris has been lost on the South- American coast; Capt. Sir John Sinclair ar. d the whole of his officers and crew were saved. Accounts were received on Saturday from Gibraltar to the I2ih inst. ftom which it appears that the fever had again taken a turn which had created fresh alarm in the garrison. On the Uth, eighteen new casts • were reported, and seven deaths, being a considerable increase on the preceding statements. It appears that Mr. Sheil has taken but very little, if any, part ill Catholic discussions since his return from t! is country. There are said to be 2,000 English in Rome, an 1 £ 0,098 in France, besides those on other parts of the Continent. BILLS OF MORTALITY. — The Christenings and Burials in the 97 parishes within the walls of the City of London from Dec. 13, 1827, to Dec. 12, 1823, were— Christened, 988; buried, 112 » : in the ten parishes in the City and Liberties of Westminster— Christened, 4135 ; buried, 3: 199 : and in the twenty- nine out- parishes in Middlesex and Surrey— Christened, 16,300; buried, 12,832. At the Marquis of Chandos s grand battue at Wotton, the l) uke of Wellington, Mr. Peel, Lords Be- resford and Hotham, Sir G. Murray, Sir H. Hardinge, Messrs. W. Peel, W. and T. Holmes bagged 1500 head of game! The Rev. H- de Crespigny was admitted to bail last week, and is said to be since placed by his friends in a Lunatic Asylum. A subscription hris been set on foot in Norfolk for the widow of the late Hunton and her ten children; it alrendv exceeds 2000/. PORTSMOUTH, Dec. 27.— A dreadful scene of r o: disgraced this town on the evening of Christmas Day', and last evening, occasioned by the inebriety of a number of privates of some of the regiments in this gar- rison ; the consequence of which has been death in one case, a frightful wound, from unprovoked aggression, in another: and severe injuries to other individuals— all perpetrated by the bayonet. On Christmas night, in an aft'ay in Broad- street, between the soldiers and some sailors, James Woolard, a private of the 83d, was killed by a bayonet stab, and several seamen wounded. On the body of the former an inquest was held, before Mr. F. Howard, coroner, yesterday, continued to- day, and is adjourned until Tuesday, under a hope that facts may, in the mean time, be elicited, which may lead to a dis- covery of the perpetrator of the deed. — Last night a private of the Royal Marine Artillery was suddenly en- countered, in Prospect- row, by about a. dozen of the IHIth Regt who surrounded him, and, without the slightest provocatipn, stabbed him in so dreadful a manner, as to cause his bowels to protrude several inches. The poor man was taken to the infirmary this morning, with hopes of his recovery. The Lieut- Governor ( Sir Colin Camp- bell) and the Commanding officers of corps, are actively engaged, this evening, in preserving peace within the garrison, strong patroles parading in every direction. EXECUTION AT CHELMSFORD. — Friday morn- ing being appointed for the execution of Michael Cashon, John Brien, and Robert Oades, who were sentenced to death at the last assizes for Essex, vast numbers of per- sons assembled opposite to the New Prison. Cashon and Brien were convicted of having assaulted and robbed Mr. William Greenhill, of East Ham. They were both ex- tremely ignorant, and unable to read or write. Cashon was 25 years of age, and a native of Tipperary ; his wife and child ( an infant of IS months old) reside at Bristol— Oades was 33 years of age, and born of very respectable parents in the vicinity of Egham, where his mother still resides, having an independent fortune. He was brought up as a plumber and glazier; but, from what has tran- spired, there is reason to suppose that he had long been associated with a gang of horse- stealers in Essex. At the assizes there were five indictments against him— four for horse- stealing, and one for stealing a bull and 3 heifers. He was tried and convicted on two, and the Judge felt the increase of this species of crime to call for an example. He hud a wife and seven children, the eldest 17 years of age, and the youngest about as many months. His widow is a respectable and amiable woman— The cri- minals were placed under the fatal beam, and the signal being given during the reading of the burial service, they were launched into eternity, apparently without a struggle. Partridges and pheasants are at present sell- ing in Edinburgh market at a lower price than domestic fowls, and grouse• not much higher. On Saturday a man was crying about the streets, in the vicinity of the Coburg Theatre, bunches of primroses for sale, at tho rate of three a penny. NORTH DEVON,— In the garden at Staddon Hill, roses and pinks tire to be seen in full luxuriance, and an apple tree presents a second bearing of fruit, large ai walnuts. In the grounds of Sir B. P. Wrey, is a haw- thorn in full bloom. In Colonel Fox's garden, at Barn- staple, a pear tree has a second crop, arrived at a con- siderable size; and in many others, peas and beans are to be met with. BOROUGH, Monday. — Our Hop Market re- mains w: tiiout alteration, but more has been done in pockets, and several lots arc reported as taken on spe- r c atii n Currency : Sussex pockets 78s. to 84s., Kent oos. to 105s., Mid. and East Kent 105s. to 135s.

All books of Geography ( which I have met with) begin with tho more abstruse and difficult, and postpone the more easy and technical parts of the study. This order I have reversed, I endeavour to impress upon the rnifid, in the first instance, those things which are the subject of memory alone, and for which no reason need be, or can be assigned. There is no reason why the capital of England might not have been named Paris instead of London, or why Poland should not be called Italy, or the Danube the Volga. No reason can be given why a Penin- sula of the particular shape of Spain and Portugal should have been placed at the south- west of Europe, rather than at the south- east. The names themselves, and the appropriation of them to places, are ( in this view) purely accidental and arbitrary. It seems therefore proper to begin by charging the memory with those arbitrary distinctions nnd divisions, which require no reasoning, and which, if not learned by rote in early youth, are seldom thoroughly, and never without much difficulty, learned afterwards Author's Preface.

The King, it is said, shortly intends to visit the Pavilion at Brighton ; where, it is also said, his Ma- jesty will reside a few weeks. It is still generally reported and believed that the Marquis of Anglesea will shortly resign the Viceroyship of Ireland, and that other important changes are in contemplation which will render the noble Mar- quis the last Lord Lieutenant of that portion of the em- pire. The Duke of Wellington is said to be impressed with the conviction that such an office is not calculated to advance the interests or promote the tranquillity of Ire- land, and he is resolved to abolish the appointment. That the reception of the young Queen of Portugal at Windsor was merely an affair of courtesy, possessing 110 political character, may be inferred from no notice having been taken of it in the Gazette, the or- dinary channel of announcement on such occasions. It appears by accounts in the Paris papers, • that the Russian Generals who took a part in the late campaign, charge one another with its disasters; and, according to a private letter from Bucharest, which the Constitutionnel gives, CountWittgenstein loudly inveighs against Count Pahlen, as the author of its disastrous issue; whilst the latter as warmly lays the blame to another. Letters from Odessa of the 4tl> inst. say that ( rreat preparations are already making in Russia to resume operations in Bulgaria early in the spring, and no hope was entertained of any arrangement taking place in the winter favourable to the conclusion of peace. The Augsburgh Gazette states that Prussia is going to take advantage of the suspension of hostilities between Russia and the Porte to act with vigour as mediator. The Turkey mail has brought accounts from Smyrna to the 19th, and from Constantinople to the Sflth ult. The Sultan, it is stated, has ordered the campaign to continue during the winter. An attack on Varna is to be > made, it is said, by the Grand Vizier ( late Capital] 1' ac'nal who is so well acquainted with the approaches— Turkey continues tranquil, and the supply of provisions plentiful at Constantinople. Accounts from Bucharest of the 8th inst.. state that the Generals are still at Jassy, where they arc arranging plans for the next campaign. Part of the army which beseiged Silistria has gone into winter quarters, in Wallachia and Moldavia. The rest are posted at Hir- sova, Bazardjik, and Babadag, where they have thrown up intrenchments. It appears that there has been an action nt Pravadi. where the Grand Vizier's vanguard attacked the Russian advanced posts, but after a conflict of several hours, returned without being able to get pos- session of the road, to Varna. A copy of the American Piesident's Message, delivered oil the 2d inst.. has arrived in this country. The following passage, in which the President ( John Quincy Adams) alludes to the relations of America with Great Britain, will be read with interest:—" The great interests of an agricultural, commercial, and manufac- turing nation, are so linked in union together, that no permanent cause of prosperity to one of them can ope- rate without extending its influence to the others. All these interests are alike under the protecting power of the legislative authority; and the duties of the representa- tive bodies are to conciliate them in harmony together. So far as the object of taxation is to raise a revenue for discharging the debts and defraying the expenses of the community, it should as much as possible suit the bur- den with equal hand upon all, in proportion with their ability of bearing it without oppression. But the legis- lation of one nation is sometimes intentionally made to bear heavily upon the interests of another. That legisla- tion, adapted, as it is meant to be, to the special inte- rests of its own people, will often press most unequally unon the several component interests of its neighbours. Thus, the legislation of Great Britain, when, as has recently been avowed, adapted to the depression of a rival nation, will naturally abound with regulations of interdict upon the productions of the soil or industry of the oilier which come ill competition with its own ; and will present encouragement— perhaps even bounty— to the raw material of the other state, which it cannot produce itself, and which is essential for the use of its manu- factures, Competitors in the markets of the world with those of its commercial rival. Such is the state of the commercial legislation of Great Britain as it bears upon our interests. It excludes, with interdicting duties, all importation ( except in time of approaching famine) of the great staple productions of our Middle and Western Stales; it proscribes, with equal rigour, the bulkier lumber and live stock of the s tole portion, and also of the Northern and Eastern part of our Union. It refuses even the lice of the South, unless aggravated with a charge of duty upon the Northern carrier, who brings it to them. But the cotton, indispensable for their looms, they will receive almost duty free, to weave into a fabric for our own wear, to the destruction of our own 111a- iiufartures, which they are enabled thus to undersell. Is the self- protecting energy of this nation so helpless that there exists in the political institutions of our country no power to conntcract the bias of this foreign legislation ? That the growers of grain must submit to this exclusion from the foreign markets of their produce; that the shippers must dismantle their ships, the trade of the North stagnate at the wharfs, and the manufacturers starve at their looms, while the people shall pay tribute to foreign industry to be clad in a foreign garb; that the Congress of the Union are impotent to restore the halance in favour of native industry, destroyed by the Statutes of another realm ? More just and more ge- nerous sentiments will. I trust, prevail. If the tariff" adopted at the last Session of Congress shall be found by experience to bear oppressively upon the interests of any one section of our Union, it ought to be, and, I cannot doubt, will be, so modified as to alleviate its burden. To the voicc of just complaint from anypoition of their con- stituents tile representatives of tilt States and People will never turn awar their ears. But so long as the duty of the foreign shall operate only as a bounty upon the do- mestic article— while the planter, and file merchant, and the shepherd, and the husbandman, shall be found thriving in their occupations under the duties imposed for the protection of domestic manufactures— they will not repine at the prosperity shared with themselves by their fellow- citizens of ot'- er professions, nor denounce as violations of the Constitution the deliberate acts of Congress to shield from the wrongs of foreign laws the native industry of the Union." In the above Message, the President says: " The con- dition and prospects of the Revenue are more favourable than our most winguine expectations had been anticipated. The receipts of the present ye- tr have amounted to near two millions of dollars more than was anticipated at the commencement of the last Session of Congress. The above Message is the last that will be issued by Air. Adams. The American journals state that Gen Jackson, the " Elect President," will proceed to the seat of Government on the 4th of March, when the Presidency of Mr. Adams expires. The French punish with great severity the negligence of druggists who allow incompetent persons to serve in their shops. A few dags ago the wife of a drug- gist in Paris, who served some powdered alum for pow- dered gum- arabic, thereby occasioning great pain to a person for whom gum Water had been ordered, was sen- tenced to six days' imprisonment and 10 francs fine, and her husband was sentenced to pay < i, 000 francs, by way of comuensution, to the complainant. We learn from Port Santa Maria, that on the 50th ult. a shower of stones fell in that town during the space of two hours, by which great damage was done to the houses. The stones in general were as big as . eggs, and the quantity so great, that they lay in tile street to the depth of four feet and completely obstructed the road. Paris Paper. The King of the Netherlands is said to be possessed of the largest fortune of any Sovereign of the Continent. The French Government is said to he en- gaged in a plan by which empiricism is to be put an end to, and the study and practice of surgery rendered more beneficial to the public.

About a fortnight ago, at Bristol, Susanna Lowring, a little girl only seven years of age, ran away from her mother in consequence of having been slightly corrected by her. Nothing was heard of the child from that time till last Monday morning, when her body was found in Cumberland Basin, where it is supposed she had thrown herself, as she had frequently threatened to com- mit suicide. A female child six years of age, named Yet- man, at Portsmouth, was fa greatly alarmed by the storm of thunder and lightning which happened there last week, as to occasion her death. At the strongest flash of lightning which crossed her sight she fell in terror • UK of her chair, anil was seized by a violent fit, during which purple blotches came out over h « r person. She it- mained insensible until midnight, when tiie poor little Cloture expired. Failure of Remington and Co.— The most ex- traordinary feature of this case is the fact that five of the principal bankers in London did, in the beginning of last week, set on foot an investigation into the affairs of this house, with the result of which they were so well satisfied that each advanced 20,000/. on such securities as they found it to possess ; they declared further to their friends, their entire conviction that the house was solvent, and even went so far as to urge individuals who had withdrawn their accounts to replace them. Every one asks naturally how it has happened that men possessing the highest cha- racter for integrity, sagacity, and knowledge of business, could have been thus deceived ? They used, as it appears, every precaution— they questioned not only Mr. Stephen- son himself, but addressed all the inquiries which the case called for to the other partners also; and finally, through one of their number, made a personal examina- tion of the books, with the amount of the cash and bills in the banking- house— Their research was defective 111 the exact point which men of honour and character might be expected to fail in : for it never could have entered into their minds that any of the persons concerned could have removed or disposed of those securities lodged with them merelv for safe custody. They wholly forgot, therefore, to'inquire what Exchequer- bills, India- bonds, or other floating securities they held in deposit. From the reply thus obtained, however, there is not the smallest reason for doubting that the means were exhi- bited which imposed 011 the bankers who set on foot the inquiry, and who circulated consequently in the money- market their fixed persuasion that all was right and safe. The abstraction of the Exchequer bills was the less likely to present itself to their minds, as they knew that a late law had protected deposits of this nature by making their removal a capital felony. Of the amount taken away it lias been ascertained this afternoon, that 20,000/. were lodged with Messrs. Williams and Co., of Birchin- lane, as security for an advance of money, and some other portions arc in the hands of other bankers. A very curious question is likely to arise sis to whom the right to these Exchequer hills is vested in, under the peculiar circumstances which led to their being so deposited ; but the opinion is, that the banker who has advanced the money has a right to detain them, 011 the principle which forms the basis of the late new law of merchant and factor. — Courier, Dec. 30 Discoveries of great sums abstracted from tile bank of Remington and Co. are made almost daily. Some- foreign securities are now added to the number, and the total amount is at present estimated to be as high as 200.000/. No tidings have yet been obtained of the p| a e of Mr. Stephenson's retreat. It is ascertained that lie had a person with him in the chaise in which lie left town, who is supposed to be a Mr. Lloyd, a confidential clerk in the house, and who was in the secret of all Mr. Stephenson's proceedings. This event, so new in the history of banking establishments, is to be deeply lamented. But the fact of no such instance having occurred before, proves the integrity with which the banking business in the me- tropolis has generally been carried on. The conduct of the five bunkers who examined the accounts of the house of Remington and Co., and who made advances on a persuasion of its solvency, has been very freelv commented on in the city, and the only defence set up for them is— that they could entertain no suspicion of so great a crime as the abstraction of the Exchequer bills, and could not, therefore, have put a question which implied a charge of felony against the gentlemen with whom they were in consultation. They say that 110 account could appear more plausible, or bear more the semblance of truth, than that which Mr. Stephenson gave of the affairs of the house, his manner being ] erfcclly easy and unconstrained. REMINGTON and Co.—( From the Globe.)— It is said that one of the consequences of the failure of the house of Kemington and Co., and the conduct of R. Stephenson, has been the opening of many new deposit accounts at the Bank of England. The commission of a grots breach of trust, accompanied by felony, by a man of respectable rank in society, who had, during the whole of his life, sustained a character suitable to his station, and who was implicitly trusted by those who looked most narrowly into his affairs, gives a shock to the per- sonal confidence on which private banking is founded. The very abhorrence which the crime excites, shews that it is not likely soon to recur, and is in itself a testimony to the general repute in which bankers are held. COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 22. The Attorney General v. the Corporation of Winchester. Mr Sugden stated that he was instructed to move his Lordship on behalf of Phillip Williams, Esq. Recorder of Winchester; John Mant, Esq. one of the Aldermen; James Lampard, Esq. Town Clerk; Edward Mant and Henry Wells, Esqrs. and Thomas Woodham and George Holli's, gents, other members of the Corporation of Win- chester ; that the orders of the tith Dec. 1827, and the 21st Feb. 111211, made in these suits, for a reference to the Master, to consider and approve of proposals for the Cor- poration of Winchester giving up and relinquishing the trus s vested ill them for the several charities in question in those suits, might be discharged or varied, as should be just. The Lord Chancellor observed, that the application was irregular, as a motion should have been first made on the part of the applicants, for leave to make an appli- cation in the suit. - Mr. Home ami Mr. Tinney, on the part of the relators, were willing to waive this objection, anil to meet the parties 011 the merits. Mr. Sagden then proceeded to state, that Mr. Williams, n making this application, had no object in view, except that of obtaining the opinion of the Court on the matter in question, upon a full statement of such facts as he conn ived it necessary to submit to his Lordship. The Corporation of Winchester had been three centuries ago invested by charter with very considerable estates, which they held as Trustees for the support of a charitable foundation in Winchester, called the Hospital of St. John the Bap ist. In the progress of time the Corporation misappropriated the revenues which hud been originally destined for the support of the poor belonging to the Hospital. Proceedings were in consequence commenced against the Corporation, in respect to this Hospital, and also of several other charities, of which the Corporation were the Trustees; and owing to these proceedings, the Corporation had recently consented to relinquish tile trusts vested in them for the several charities in question, to new Trustees, and to enter into other terms for the purpose of compromising an appeal now pending before his Lordship, and terminating the proceedings in the suits. This arrangement had been entered into by the majority of the members of the Corporation, at meetings legally convened ; but tile Recorder, and five other mem- bers of the Corporation conceived that the relinquishment of the trust, which had been vested in the body corporate by the charter, would not be sanctioned by the Court. The learned Counsel then read that part of tile charter relating to the possessions of the Hospital of Saint John the Baptist, and the Master's report, by which he had certified to the Court that the proposed terms of compro- mise would be beneficial to the charities. Mr. Sugden observed that the Recorder, and the other members of the Corporation for whom lie appeared, entertained a different opinion, and felt assured that the Court would interfere to prevent the proposed relinquishment of the trusts by the Corporation. The Attorney General, who appeared for the relators, stated to his Lordship, that the proceedings which the present application sought to impugn, had not been taken without due deliberation ; that he had been consulted upon the arrangement, and considered the measure rea- sonable and proper. The Attorney General was pro- ceeding to state the breaches of trust committed by the Corporation, and the facts of the case, when The Lord Chancellor said, that he was satisfied upon the case made by Mr. Sugden, that there was no ground for the application. The . Master had certified by his report, that the terms of compromise were beneficial to the charities, and he was of the same opinion. The Attorney-. General hoped his Lordship would dis- miss the motion with costs. The Lord Chancellor stated that, as there had not been the slightest ground for the application, the mdividuals making it must pay the costs. At Hampstead sessions yesterday, a man named Clarke, whose wife carries on a straw- bonnet busi- ness, was charged with cruelly beating a little girl, 15 years of age who w is apprenticed to hull by the Orphan Working School. By the evidence it appeared that his treatment of the girl was cruel in the extreme, and totally undeserved on her part, as an excellent character was given her. The magistrates decided that the indentures should he cancelled, and that Clarke should return 21. 10*., being half of the premium lie had received from the institution. It is now notorious that the exportation of stolen horses from this kingdom to France has long been carried 011, and is become as regular and as organised a s1. stem of traffic as the exportation of any article of Eng- lish produce. An inquest was this day held at the Buffalo's Head. New Road, on the body of Mary Mortlock, who died in consequence of wounds received from the con- tents of a pistol, fired at her on the night of the 17th inst. in Crawford- street, by a most respectably connected young man named Benjamin Barrup, who has been committed to Newgate, for the attempt to murder her. The deceased was not 111 years of age, and had been recently 111 the service of Lady Dudley and Ward. She died in Marylebone Infirmary on Sunday. Previous to her death she deposed before a Magistrate, that she had not known the prisoner until the previous Thursday week, when she met him in Covent- garden Theatre. She met him by appointment the following day, and again on the night the transaction took place, when he drank a considerable quantity of ale, and his appearance and behaviour were very wild and disorderly. When she was shot she had hold of his right arm, but she did not sec the pistol, nor did she know who fired it. She did not even know the prisoner's name.— The jury re- turned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Benjamin Barrup. The City of London is about to revive the obsolete law of carting to preserve chastity within its walls. By this ancient record constables may follow parties to brothels, put tlicm in a cart back to back, with labels till their breasts denoting their offence, then draw them slowly to the city boundary, and shoot them out in tiie county ! Last week, a man and a woman in Liverpool fell victims to the vicc of intoxication. It is rumoured in The fashionable circles of this neighbourhood, that the Rev. Earl Nelson is about to lead to the hymeneal altar the relict of the late — Barlow, Esq. son of Sir R. Barlow, of this ( Canterbury) city Kent Herald. On Wednesday last Mr. Thomas Smith, timber- merchant, of Newbury, gave to the most deserving poor of that town and neighbourhood his annual donation of 111 sheep, a quantity of beef, and a gallon of potatoes to each joint of meat; thus enabling upwards of two hundred families to have a good dinner 011 Christmas day, from his bounty. Mr. S. also went to the poor- house on Christmas- day, and gave to every grown person sixpence, and to every child threepence, to regale them- selves with. It is said that the King's College is to be erected in the vast area formed by the removal of the King's Mews. The Brunswick Club in London, of which the Duke of Gordon is the president, and . Marquis of Chandos secretary, and which is limited to Peers and Members of the House of Commons, has very lately received a con- siderable addition to its numbers, by the election of new members. The feeling of the county of Somerset in op- position to further concessions to the Catholics, is begin- ning to shew itself generally. Petitions are signing at Bruton, Wincanton, Castle- Cary, and1 Milborne Port, as well as at various other places. It is in in contemplation to apply to Parlia- ment for a general Act for draining the low lands in the county of Somerset. The trustees of the Langport turnpike are lowering a hill between that town and Somerton, Captain Wm. Parker. C. B. is appointed to the command of the Prince Regent yacht, vacant by the removal of Captain George Mundy, C. B. to the Royal yacht. Captain John F. Devonshire succeeds Captain Parker in the command of the Warspite, 70. Accounts from Gibraltar to the 21st Dec. state that at that date there were five sick officers, and the number of military sick was 118. Capt. Fitzclarence sailed on Thursday from Falmouth on a special mission, with sealed orders, in his Majesty's ship Pallas, of 42 guns. Numerous families have recently gone out from the South of Devon to settle in New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land. The late Lord Liverpool is reported to have died exceedingly rich. Rumour ( which, however, al- ways exaggerates) estimates his property at no less than seven hundred thousand pounds. The present Earl, half- brother to the late Premier, is ( with a few trifling exceptions) stated to be the universal legatee— Morning paper. A new tragedy is forthcoming at Drury- lane, in which Mr. Young is to perform; the scene lies in Wales. Mr. Parry is adapting the Bardic Odes and Chorusses to ancient British music. Bailey, one of the two men who were appre- hended in Bath on a charge of passing forged 10/. notes of the Devizes Bank ( as stated in our last), has been committed by the Mayor of Bath for trial, charged with the offence of uttering: Jones, his companion, was dis- charged. A trial, which for atrocity has never been exceeded in any previous case of crime within our re- membrance, came on before the High Court of Justi- ciary, Edinburgh, on Wednesday last. The prisoners were charged in the indictment, William Burke and Helen M'Dougal, with the murder of Madgy Dogherty, 011 the 31st October, in Burke's house, in Western Ports - burgh. The prisoners lived in adulterous intercourse, and kept a common lodging- house, receiving poor in. mates at a trifling sum per night. The manner of the murders being perpetrated was stated in the indictment, by Burke throwing himself on the body of his victim, and pressing her to death, holding her mouth and nose. The prisoners were also charged with intent to sell the body to physicians or surgeons as subjects for dissection. After a patient hearing of a great number of witnesses, the prisoner Burke was found Guilty, and his alleged accomplice M'Dougal acquitted. The above prisoners were also indicted on two other charges; the first, with the murder of Mary Paterson, while in a state of intoxication, by covering her mouth and nose, and forcibly compressing her throat, thereby- causing suffocation ; the second, with having committed a similar offence on J. Wilson, commonly called Daft Jamie. It was evidently the wish of the above murderers to make it appear that the deceased persons had died a natural death ; and it therefore behoves surgeons to be very strict in their enquiries respecting the bodies which they purchase, for the purpose of dissection, of resur- rectionists. It appears that there were a gang of mur- derers concerned in the above atrocities, and that they found it necessary to deceive the anatomists into a belief that the subjects sold had come from a distance. We have been informed ( says an Evening paper) that an elderly woman belonging to the Grassmarket, who gained a livelihood by washing, and who was employed for that purpose by Burke, was murdered by him; also, that in the course of the autumn, a poor Irish mendicant and her son, a lad of 14 or 15 years of age, and of weak intellect, were murdered. The female was bereaved of life by Burke when lying asleep; she was stripped and put into a herring barrel among brine; while an accomplice named Hare, who was admitted as a King's evidence against Burke, strangled the lad over his knees, by the fire side, and thrust the corpse into the cask above his mother. In relation to the late horrible disclosure at Edinburgh, we hear that the matter is not likely to ter- minate without the prosecution of some higher persons, as accessaries after the fact. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.— On Wednesday Iast Mr. Seale, a respectable yeoman of Dittisham, Devon, had the misfortune to shoot his own son, a youth of 17, wpile they were out on a shooting excursion. The lad died on, the spot. PHRENOLOGY.— Dr. Spurzheim, the pupil and friend of the late Dr. Gall, is now at Toulon, exa- mining, by permission of the government, the skulls of all the convicts. Important Commercial Enactment.— By the 9th Geo. IV. cap. 14, which comes into operation on the 1 st day of January next, it is provided that no indorse- ment, or memorandum of any payment, written or made, after the time appointed for that Act to take effect, upon any promissory note, bill of exchange, or other writing, on behalf of the party to whom such payment shall be made, shall be deemed sufficient proof of such payment, so as to take the same out of the operation of the statute of limitations. The ensuing year ( 18291 will form the first centenary of the establishment of Methodism: in 1729, this sect first commenced at Oxford, under the Rev. J. Wesley. HORSE. STEALERS.— In defiance of the provi- sions of the Act of Parliament, gangs of gipsies, or vaga- bonds who live like them, are frequently observed in So- merset and the neighbouring counties, encamped on the road- side. Two or three well- covered carts furnish good lodgings at nights for these migrating hordes, and several excellent horses usually belong to the party. Their sta- tions are generally occupied sufficiently long to allow op- portunity for observing the facilities with which depreda- tions may be committed. DREADFUL FIRE.—- About five o'clock on Tuesday morning a fire broke out in the cellar of a house used as a carpenter's workshop in St. Philip's- plain, Bath, and it burnt with such fury that it speedily communicated to two adjoining houses, which were entirely consumed; They were small tenements let out in lodgings, and were entirely filled with poor families. One child about ten years of age fell a sacrifice to the flames, and her corpse has been dug out of the ruins. It is not yet ascertained whether any other lives were lost. By this dreadful cala- mity 110 less than sixteen families are reduced to the greatest distress, having escaped almost in a state of nudity; many poor females have no clothes except a temporary supply from the humanity of their neighbours. An inquest was held at Frome last week, on the bodies of two men named Joseph Hooper and Peter Papps, in the employ of Messrs. Sheppard, who acci- dentally foil into a cistern of hot water, about eighteen inches deep, and were scalded to death. Hooper was sitting 011 the edge of the cistern when Papps gave him a slight push, and Hooper having seized hold of Papps to preseive his balance, they both tumbled in. Infants cutting their Teeth.— Virgin honey rubbed on the gums of infants cutting their teeth, not only soothes and diminishes the pain of the patient, but wonderfully facilitates this most painful process of nature. Letters sent by Friends.— By the 5th Geo. IV. cap. 20, an important alteration is made in the Act of the 42d Geo. Ill , cap. Ill, in regard to letters sent by friends. The words of the last Act exempt from penalty, parties who send letters by any private friend in his or her way of journey or travel; so as such letter shall be delivered by such friend to the party to whom such letter is di- rected. In France, the root of the Jerusalem arti- choke has lately been introduced into use for the purpose of distillation. ' The wash made from it is fount! to yield a very pure but strong spirit, which much resembles that obtained from the grape. In the course of last week, Henry Smith, Esq. one of the coroners for Staffordshire, held no less than five inquests upon bodies of children between three and six years of age, whose deaths were caused by burns from their clothes taking fire. A young woman, who had been particularly fortunate in Exeter market last week, in the disposal of her turkies and other Christmas commodities, was ob- served by some sharper to have plenty of change, and ac- cordingly he bargained for 2s. worth of eggs and presented a bill, asking for change of 5/. Four pounds IBs. were returned, and it was the next day before it was discovered to be a note for five- pence payable at the " Bank of Elegance." There is at this time, in the vicarage garden Alston, Northumberland, a gentianella in full flower. This is the move remarkable when we consider that Alston is the highest inhabited town in England, it being 1400 feet above the level of the sea. Captain George Mundy, C. B. is appointed to the vacant command of the Royal Yacht. WEYMOUTH.— A chart by Mr. J. Harvey, jun. has made its appearance, shewing the relative situa- tion of Portland, Portsmouth, and Plymouth with Cher- bourg, with marginal references, to elucidate the neces- sity, advantages, and practicability of a Breakwater for Portland Roads— It is the opinion of well- informed per- sons, that England will do well to avail herself of the immense advantages attending this national work. BOXING,— The much- talked of battle between Dick Curtis and Perkins, for 100/. a side, and on which immense sums were betted, took place yesterday in Hurley Bottom, li miles beyond . Maidenhead, and about 34 from London. The odds on Curtis were during the last week as high as 7 to 4, and many bets of .2 to 1 were laid, the backers of Perkins relying on his known game and on his superior weight and' strength, as he weighed lOst. 101b., while Curtis was only flst. 4lb. The backers of Curtis were fully confident, from his superior tactics, and from the circumstance of his never having been bea- ten in the many battles he had previously fought. It turned out, however, that he was in this instance over- matched, as Perkins's pugilistic science was pretty nearly equal to his own, and his strength far superior. Curtis was attended by Young Dutch Sam and Josh Hudson, and Perkins by Spring and Harry Holt. In the first 7 rounds, Curtis appeared to be getting the best of the con- test, his adversary acting almost entirely on the defensive; in the 0th round, however, while Perkins was retreating, he struck Curtis a tremendous blow on the neck, which felled him to the ground, and he was no longer the same man. In the lltli round, Dick seemed distressed, and Perkins let fly at him right and left. Curtis fell, and was totally unable to come- to again, the battle having lasted 25 minutes. At the conclusion of the above fight, another took place between Harry Jones and Tom Reidie, for 50/. a side. Reidie gave in after a scrambling fight of 17 rounds, during which the ring was broken. A match was made on Saturday between Brown the Bridgnorth hero and Dobell, the former fight- ing 300/. to 250/., to take place on the 14th of March within 140 miles of London. There is no " Champion of England" at pre- sent. nor is there any transferrable Belt. The belt given to Tom Cribb, as Champion of England, was made of lion- skin, and lined with the skin of the lamb. It still remains in Cribb's possession, but he derives no salary from that circumstance. Mr. Chas. Clarke, poultryman, of this town, sent up to the metropolis last week, for the Christmas market, eight tons and four cwt. of poultry. I11 this weight no less than fifteen hundred turkeys were in- cluded 1— Boston Gazette. CORN EXCHANGE, Dec. 31.— Our market was in a lifeless state this morning; scarcely a sale has been effected ; still the factors demand, for tine samples of Wheat, Barley, and Oats, Monday's prices. The LITERARY GAZETTE, established in 1817. This Weekly Journal of Literature, the Arts, and Sciences, having for twelve years gone on pro- gressively and largely increasing in numbers and in influence, till it now possesses not only at home but on the whole continent, and the most remote parts of America and India, a circulation far exceeding that of any literary periodical ever published in England, the Proprietors are desirous of announcing to the public at this season, that still greater and more extended exertions have been made to improve its columns, so that the ample reward they have received for their past endeavours may be gratefully employed in obtaining the best intelligence from every quarter, securing the co- operation of the highest talents, and, in short, rendering the Literary Gazette yet more deserving of universal favour. With the first number for 1829, the introduction of new and important resources will commence ; and preparations will be made for mote than the usual annual addition of Subscribers, whose early orders are respectfully requested.

Many gratifying instances, of important benefit, derived from the short use onlv of HUGHES's QUININE PILLS, in consumptive affec- tions qf every stage, and extreme general debility, are now too well attested to admit of any doubt. We feel, therefore, sincere pleasure in directing the attention of Invalids to this important combination of Vegetable Properties. We would add, that the discovery of this invaluable Specific affords yet another proof, if more were wanting, of the inexhaustible resources of the Vege- table Kingdom, and would operate, we should trust, to the encouragement of additional exertion' alike in the field of nature by the Botanist, and in the Laboratory of Medical Science by the Chemist. We understand a Lady of distinction at Cheltenham, and a Lady of the first circle in Bath, have derived permanent benefits by the use of Hughes's Pills.

Neatly printed in Four Pocket Volumes, price only Twelve Shillings. " It has often occurred to me as something wonderful, that, amongst the vast variety of books which are to be met with, ON the important subject of Religion, there should still be wanted a manual for the information and direction of the Minister in his daily intercourse with sick persons and other members of his flock. " Having been in the habit then, for several years, of remarking this defect of instruction with regard to prac- tical divinity, and the whole business of a Parish Priest, and having myself, meanwhile, been thrown perpetually into the most interesting and awful scenes with my own Parishioners, I determined at length to take up my pen, and to commit to paper whatever, having passed under my personal observation, might be most likely to be useful to others of the same profession. " I had no thought originally of doing more than assist my younger brethren of the clerical order, who might be appointed to the management of large parishes, without time or opportunities to prepare themselves in an ade- quate manner for so difficult and momentous an under- taking. But, in proceeding with my work, I began to flatter myself with the notion, that it may possibly both amuse and instruct every description of readers Alany persons may be tempted, upon the recommendation of the Clery, to peruse the book; and may find unex- pectedly their fancy pleased, their knowledge increased, and their hearts touched and improved."— Preface.

THESE Dentifrices which have so much attracted the attention of the medical profession, are remedies for all disorders of the mouth; they not merely cleanse and beautify the Teeth, but preserve them from decay. They make the Teeth white, fasten such as are loose, eradicate the scurvy and tartar from the Gums, leaving them firm and of a healthy redness, and if used regularly will supersede the necessity of a Dentist. They are entirely free of acid, and so innocent that a child may take the contents of a box of the Powder, and the Tincture is an excellent stomatic and a certain remedy for the Tooth- ache. Also, HUDSON'S TOOTH BRUSHES, in sets of three, made on unerring principles in bone and ivory. CAUTION— The genuine is signed HUDSON and COMPY. Counter- signed— J AS. ATKINSON. Sold by Jas.

SIR,— After suffering, for the space of three years, the most excruciating tortureof a scorbutic complaint in both my legs, from which issued watery corruption from my ancle up to my knee, and inflamed to an alarming degree, so as to prevent me entirely from standing in an erect posture, and was obliged to crawl on my hands and feet like an infant unable to help myself; several of the fa- culty attended me, and advised the best means, but I did not experience any permanent relief. Hearing of your arrival four years ago, I was desirous of consulting you ; I sent my mother ( as I was not able to move myself) to solicit your attendance; you was then at the Antelope Inn, in this town, you very readily consented to see mfc, which you had no sooner done, than you promised to place me 011 my legs again. You administered a packet of your medicine, together with a few bottles of your much- esteemed Cordial Balm of Zura, and I am happy to say produced the desired effect; by two o'clock the following day I walked up stairs, and by attention to your directions, with the bles- sing of the Almighty, I go't perfectly well, and have fol- lowed my occupation to the present day.

IN order to attack the Turks with any chance of success it is computed that the Emperor Nicholas should not open a campaign with less than S. KI. OHO— for he must not pursue the plan adopted this year; namely, that of employing the greater part of the army in sieges and blockades, while the corps of opera- tion, thus rendered too weak, were compelled to remain inactive. It is conceived that 260,0( 10 will not be at all too much when they will have at once to attack Silistria, Riulschuk, Widdin, Choumla, peihaps even Varna, and that there must be, besides, a disposable army that can be moved at all points threatened by the Turks— Quotidienne. aararsraKflwiKKS ws WW- acyns: E^ p- sgy- flgg^—^ Answer of Dr. Curtis to the Duke of Wellington, Drogheda, Dec. 19, 1S28. My Lord Duke,— I have never been more agreeably surprised in my life than by the unexpected honour of receiving your Grace's very kind and even friendly letter of the 11th instant, which, coming from so high a quar- ter, I should naturally wish to reserve, if possible ; but as it was franked by yourself, the news of ils arrival was known all over this town ( as might be expected from a london, FRIDAY, JANUARY 2.

It is understood that his Majesty lias given directions to Mr. Chantrey, the celebrated sculptor, for the execution of four statues, of heroic size, in Carara marble, for the Gallerv in Windsor Castle: viz. of the King, the late Duke ( if York, . lolm the Gieat Duke of Marlborough, and tile Duke of Wellington. From the undisputed pre- eminence of the artist selected, and the liberality of the terms proposed ( four thousand guineas each figure), it is probable these statues will afford the most Splendid proofs of the progress in the fine arts hi- therto exhibited by English talent. The young Queen of Portugal lias ordered fifteen guineas to be distributed among the poor at Laleham. Lord Melville has taken possession of the house in the Admiralty occupied by the Duke of Cla- rence, and bis Royal Highness's furniture, Ate. lias been removed to his new residence ill St. James's Park. An advertisement has been published, offering 1000/. reward for the apprehension of Stephenson, the banker; it is to the following effect :— " One Thousand Pounds Reward— Whereas Rowland Stephenson, a partner in the banking- house of Messrs. Bemington, Stephenson, and Co., of Lombard- street, bankers, stands charged with embezzlement, and has absconded: whoever will apprehend and lodge ill safe custody the above- named Rowland Stephenson, shall re- ceive the above reward, on applicatioa to Mr. Gates, 6li, Lombard- street. " The said Rowland Slephenson is about 60 years of age; 6 feet 7 inches high ; has grey hair, light- coloured eyes, square features, a light brownish complexion, with some colour, small straggling whiskers, and his figure, although not stout, is square for his height. Usually wore a black coat and waistcoat, drab keyseymere breeches, and top- boots. He is supposed to have left his residence at St. Bartholomew's Hospital or, the morning of Satur- day, the 27th inst. in a dark- coloured chariot, drawn by two light- coloured grey horses— London, Dec. 31,11128." At a late hour last night no tidings had been received of Mr. Stephenson or his clerk. The carriage in which lie left town on Saturday morning has been brought back by his coachman, and replaced in the coach- house, but the man immediately absconded, and though search is making for him in every direction, has not yet been found, information, however, is said to have been given by him to a servant he accidentally met, with whom he was acquainted, that, after leaving St. Bartholomew's. Hospital, the carriage waited in a street near the ltegent's- paik, till Lloyd the clerk arrived from the banking house in Lombard- street, where he usually slept; that tliev then proceeded for Portsmouth, crossed to the Isle of Wight, and embarked on board the Cam- brian packet of tile London line to New York, which was given out as having sailed from Cowes on the pre- ceding day, but, as is supposed by a pre- concerted arrangement, lay out at sea otf the island till Stephenson's arrival. This account, which was in very general circu- lation yesterday afternoon, seems the most probable yet given, and it was commonly believed. . The Constiiutionnel of Tuesday contains a private letter, purporting to be from Constantinople, dated the 29th of November. From this it would appear that" there is no hope of accommodation with the Porte; the Sultan being determined to have all or nothing, and that the Turkish Empire shall be restored to the same territorial situation which it has occupied for the last century." M. Lafilte lias published a letter in the Paris papers, announcing that payment of the interest due on the Hayti Loan, as also the payment of the third instal- ment of the capital, is postponed, no funds having been received from the Government of Hayti, and a hope being entertained that some arrangement may be entered into on terms more favorable to the Hayti Government. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 27.— The pacific party in the Divan continues its efforts to increase the f number of its partisans, but the Sultan remains immov- able in his resolutions. A Molloh of the Ulemas had ventured to present a memorial to him on the present state of the empire, advising him to enter into negocia- tions for peace. Tile Sultan, after having read the me- l morial, banished the Molloh to Asia, but sent the do- cument to a Committee of the Divan, to examine it. Since that time several assemblies of the Divan have been held upon this subject. Despatches have been yesterday received from the island of Terceira to " the 18th ult. At that ' time not an enemy's ship was seen off the coast, and the affairs of the island were conducted with order and in tranquillity, under the dominion and in the name of Her Most Faithful Majesty Donna Maria II.

PORTI/ GAL.— It is understood that the Em- ; peior Don Pedro h;> s acceded to the propositions submit- . ted to him by Lord Strangford. His Imperial Majesty I the Emperor of Brazil, it is said, has agreed to refer the | claims of the Princess, his infant daughter, to the Em- i. peror of Austria and King of England. If they should ' decide that she ought not to be forced, either as Queen snojurc, or Queen consort, on the Portuguese nation, his Majesty Don Pedro will he satisfied. If, however, they shuuli! determine that she is entitled to the latter dignity only, then his Imperial Majesty will be satisfied with I whatever measures, conciliatory or otherwise, that the august umpires may recommend to cariy into effect their i decision.

But, fortunately, your Grace's letter contained only such liberal and benevolent senti- ments as all parties must eulogize, and none could pos- siblv malign.

On Monday the brethren of All Sotils Lodge assembled at the Masonic Hall, to celebrate as usual, the festival of St. John the Evangelist. At five o'clock they sat down to dinner, greeted with a profusion of deli- cacies, combined with the more substantial fare, cus- tomary at this festive season ; the whole was provided by Mrs. Luce, and the tables arranged by Brother John Luce in a manner that gave general satisfaction. Brother J. Laurence having been elected W. M., was in- vested in ancient form by the President, W. Eliot, Esq. D. P. G. M. On which the W. M. excited the attention of the brethren in a neat and very appropriate address, displaying considerable ability and knowledge of the craft, which was received with deserved approbation, and, ( added to the manner in which he executed the duties of the lodge,) proved highly gratifying to every Member present. Many toasts and sentiments, as well as songs, illustrative of the principles of this honourable institution were intro duced in the course of the evening, which passed off with that genuine harmony and social intercourse incident to to the craft.

[ 5567 CORN- EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, Jan. 2. The supply of Wheat and Flour this week from our own coast has been rather limited, but of foreign Wheat there is a most abundant arrival, upwards of 28,000 quartets: nevertheless, Monday's prices are fully realised. Barley, Beans, and Peas are steady in value; and good Oats sell on quite as good terms, but a large pro- portion of the Oats now at market are of a very inferior quality.

They have read with great pleasure and gratitude the noble declaration, in which your Grace so strongly expresses your sincere anxiety to witness the set- tlement of the Roman Catholic question ; which, you are convinced, would, by benefitting the state, confer a benefit on every individual of society ; and you legret that you see no prospect of such a settlement, because violent party feelings are mixed up with that question, and pervade every discussion of it to such a degree, as to preclude the possibility of prevailing upon men to consider it dispas- sionately. But that if it could be buried in oblivion for a short time, and if that time were diligently employed in the consideration of the question, you would not despair of seeing a satisfactory remedy. These humane and statesman- like sentiments ( as Jiras they go) do great honour to your Grace's head and heart, and might appear sufficient if you were a private noble- man, but not in your present exalted station, with power to wield, when necessary, all the resources of Govern- ment : for it would be a slur on the unrivalled and far- famed British constitution to assert, that even when well administered it docs not possess or supply means for establishing any thing known to be essential for tile ptae, welfare, and tranquility of the empire at large, and for pulling down or removing any intrigue or party spirit that might wantonly attempt to oppose so great a blessing. My friends allow that such momentous exertions may . be sometimes unsuccessful when Government is conducted • by weak or unsupported heads or hands, and that they require such a prime minister as the nation has now, and, I hope, will long have, the happiness to enjoy ; who, after an uninterrupted series of the greatest victories, and a successful arrangement of the most important interests that perhaps ever yet occurred, has been placed at the head of Government by the entire and well- earned con- fidence of our most gracious Sovereign, and with the uni- versal applause of the whole empire, and, indeed, of all other nations. Under such a chief, exerting his legiti- mate prerogative, they say that no party would dare to oppose the general good; and that if your Grace would intimate your serious resolution to settle tile Roman Ca- tholic question, its opponents would instantly fly and appear no more; and if the settlement were once car- ried, it would in a few days be no more spoken or thought of than the concessions now are that were lately made to the Dissenters; for the enemies of such arrange- ment are not half so angry in reality as they now ap- pear to be, in order by that bugbear to carry their point. But my friends have no hesitation in declaring that the project mentioned by your Grace, of burying the Catho- lic question in oblivion, for the purpose of considering it more at leisure, is totally inadmissible, and would exas- perate in the highest degree those who are already too much excited, and would only consider that measure as a repetition of the same old pretext so often employed to elude and disappoint their hopes of redress; but that if it even were adopted, it could only serve to augment the difficulties by allowing the contending parties, and particularly the enemies of all concession, the oppor- tunities they seek for preparing their means of resistance and violence, which they have latterly carried to the WEYMOUTH, Jan. 2. The anniversary of St. John was celebrated on Mon- day last, by the brethren of the Lodge of Amity in this town, with the usual formalities ; after the closing of the Lodge, the brethren enjoyed an excellent dinner provided for the occasion, and the evening was spent in that har- mony and conviviality which the fraternity so eminently promote St. John's day was celebrated by the brethren of the Hengist Lodge, Christpliurch, on Saturday last.

The magnitude of the scale upon which this Journal is conduct-:?, affords the amplest means of concentrating witMn lis columns the characteristics of the higher classes of Periodicals, and the practical utility of the general Newspaper. The sheet is the largest ever printed, and folds into sixteen quarto pages, containing forty- eight columns. It is an epitome of the news and knowledge of the times. The department of News is classified into the several heads of public interest. Foreign News, collated fiom the best contemporary authorities, is given in the form of historical narrative, so that the current history of each country is preserved, consecutively from week to week ; and Domestic News is so systematically arranged for reference, that the Commercial, the Legal, and the Fashionable Readers of the ATLAS find at once those articles which they desire to peruse under the pro- per heads to which they belong. Consulting the nume- rous and _ expensive political works that periodically or from time to lime issue from tile Press, a true re* flection of the opinions of all parties is faithfully given, and the spirit of the leading articles in the Newspaper P ess presented by a succession of extracts on all ques- tions of public importance. In Literature, TUF. ATLAS is perfectly independent: the contributions in this de- partment are from the pens of professors and gentlemen of high reputation in the Republic of Letters. Critical Reviews of new works, with copious specimens; Original Essiys of men, manners, and events; Criticisms on the written and acted Drama; on Music and Musicians, abroad and at home, with occasional engraved illustra- tions; on all works and exhibitions connected with the Fine Arts; and Scientific Notices, illustrated, when necessary, by diagrams, of the progress of Mechanics and the experimental Sciences, form tile prominent features of the Literary Department, which exhibits the same diversified abilities and laborious research that have hitherto been confined almost exclusively to works of a more ambitious character. All subjects connected with Parlianeit are trea'ed at length ; the Private Business of tile Lords and Commons accurately reported; and a digest presented " of all Par- liamentary Papers of importance. Military and Naval Affairs are more fully recorded than in any other publi- cation. On all matters of legal interest . great care is observed in the abridgment of reports; and a number of actual cases, with the opinions of eminent pleaders, are given every week under the title of " Notes of a Lawyer." The Condition, political and civil, of the British Colonies is specially detailed from the best sources; and in com- mercial, financial, and international affairs, exclusive and high authorities are constantly consulted.

The others pro- cured spits, pokers, pitchforks, or any weapon they could lay their hands on, and a general melee ensued. I On leaving the house the soldiers proceeded towards the barracks, cutting at every one in their progress, and pelted by the populace with stones, & c. It was fortunate that no lives were lost. On Saturday morning, a strict investigation took place at the Guildhall, before the Magistrates of the borouah, which lasted the whole of the day and was in the evening adjourned till Monday when it was determined that Thomas Daly and Patrick Carrow, the two soldiers most conspicuous in the affray should he turned over to the military law ; the Magistrates at the same time requesting that the soldiers should not be allowed to wear their side arms in the town.

PETER FENN,—( From the Dorset County Chronicle.)—' The John Bull of Sunday week contains the following paragraph :—" It has been thought proper to commute the punishment of Fenn, the forger, ( whose real name is Farr or Fore) to transportation for life." Now as our talented contemporary, in endeavouring to rectify one mistake, has fallen into another, equally egregious, we will venture to set him and our readers right upon the subject. The name of the individual referred to is PETER FALL ; he received his title to holy orders from the Very Rev. Dean Dnpre; but his subsequent conduct has been such that the Dean has long regretted that he had been unwittingly the means of in- troducing into the Church an individual so unworthy of fulfiling the solemn duties of the sacred office with which he was invested. He officiated for some time at Guern- sey, where his behaviour was so gross that he was obliged to quit that island, and came to England, where, under the assumed name of Fenn, he committed the various forgeries, for which he has taken his trial before the tribunal of his country, and been consigned to transpor- tation for life.

FIGES & LONGCROFT.— This important cause, which has been now nearly nine years in litigation, came on for further directions before His Honor the Master of the Rolls, on Wednesday the 3d ult. on the part of the plaintiff. Mr. Pemberton read the material parts of the pleadings, and was followed by Mr. Bickersteth, from whose statement it appeared that the bill was originally filed in February 1820, for the specific performance of two agreements, entered into by the defendants and Richard Newman, Esq. deceased ( of whose will the present, plaintiff was surviving trustee)— one dated 17th Oct. 1816, for the purchase of the dwel- ling- house, brewery, malt- house, & c. of Mr. Newman, at Romsey, for 3000/., which purchase was to have been settled on the 21st Dec. 1816 ; and the other agreement, dated 13th Feb. 1817, for the purchase of 26 freehold, copyhold, and leasehold public houses, belonging to Mr. Newman, at a valuation to be made at the end of three years, viz. : at Dec. 18111, when this purchase was to have been completed. The defendants, by their answer, admitted the contracts, and that they had not performed either of them, and for the purpose of pnstponing the contract for the purchase of the public- houses, they set up a subsequent agreement, dated 4th April 1818, by FREE PUBLIC HOUSE TO LET. • T^ O be LET and entered on immediately, J That well established FREE PURLIC HOUSE, called or known by the name of the LAMB, situate in Mortimer- street, TROWBRIDGE.

Having amused the inhabitants of the village witli their delightful notes, they proceeded to a farm house in the neighbour- hood, to give the inmates a specimen of their superior talents, and struck up one of their best tunes for the which they contended Newman had agreed to grant them a lease of the public- houses for ten years, viz. to Dec. 1821). Upon the coming in of this answer, the plaintiff amended their bill, charging that the agreement of April 1818, was not signed by Mr. Newman ; or if it was, that he had signed it at a time when he was not in a condition to understand it, and that the words relating to the further term of ten years had been fraudulently interpo- lated Isy the defendant Figes, after Newman had sighed it ( if he did ever sign any such document). The de- fendants, by their separate answers, denied the charges; but defendant Figes admitted that he had concealed the agreement, even from his partner, till long after Mr. Newman's death, and that on one occasion, after New- purpose. A young man, feeder of a swinish herd, who was rather hard of hearing, was awoke from his sleep by ( as he said) a strange sound, and fancied it must be some thieves stealing the pigs, who he supposed did not much relish moving their quarters, and were making opposition to their removal: lie immediately jumped up from his bed, donn'd his smock- frock in haste, and with a large bludgeon in his hand, ran down stairs with the deteimi- nation to knock the first man down who dared to molest his fostered herd. Luckily for the musicians, his organs of sight were better than those of hearing, for on rushing out violently, thinking to catch the thieves, to his great astonishment he discovered himself in the midst of the singers, when immediately making a sudden stop, he sung out " Lord, Lord, is it you 1 if Idid'nt think some- body were stealing the pigs!" In order to make hens lay throughout the winter, it is recommended to heat the poultry roosts by means of steam, and to mix with their food pounded oyster or other shells, and slate also pounded.

After the examination of witnesses, and much delay, the cause came on for hearing before His Honor the Vice- Chan- cellor, in June 1825, when it appealing that the words " and the same sum of 400/. per annum, for tile further term of ten years," were written below tile sig- nature of Mr. Newman and by the side of the signature of the defendant Figes, for Figes and Longcroft. Two issues were directed to be tried : one, whether the agree- ment of the 4th of April 1818, was fairly obtained from Newman, and the other, whether it contained the words relating to the further term at tile time it was signed. That these issues were tried at the Wilts Lent assizes in 1828, when a special jury found that the agreement was fairly obtained, but that the words relating to the further term did not form part of it at the time it was signed. Mr. Bickersteth, therefore, prayed that the defendants m ly be decteed to perform the contracts of the 17th Oct. 1816, and 13th Feb. 1817, according to the prayer of the bill Mr. Home, with whom was Mr. Knight oil behalf of the defendants, admitted that the agreement of the 17th Oct. 1816, for the jiurchase of the dwelling- house, brewery, & c. must be performed if a good title could he made to the premises ; but as to the agreement of the 13tli of February 1817, they contended, that it being a contract to putchase at a valuation, a court of equity could not enforce the performance of it, because it could not compel valuers to act, nor could it substitute the master for valuers to be named by parties, as it would, upon exceptions to the master's report, be turning the court into a land surveyor ; in support of this, they cited several cases, and contended, that as to this con- tract, the bill must be dismissed with costs. Mr. Bicker- steth replied, pointing out many distinctions b . tween this case and those cited on behalf of tile defendant;. His Honor promised to read the papers and give an early judgment; accordingly, Monday evening the 8th ult. his Honor came into court, and though evidently labour- ing under the most painful illness, pronounced judgment, and declared that the agreements of the 17th Oct. 1816, and 18th Feb. 1817, should be performed, modified as they might appear to be by certain agreements of the 20th of Feb. 1817, and 4th of April 1818, except as to the words interpolated in the latter, and referred it to the master to take an account of the principal and interest due in respect to the 31) 00/. from the 21st Dec.

One in- former, who has been a terror to publicans, linkers, stage coachmen, & c. is now travelling the country with ii handsome equipage, attended by a dashing female, who orders articles to . be sent to her by linen- drapers, and she particularly wishes French silks to be shewn to her, doubtless with a view to harass the unsuspecting tradesman.
