Nothing important had passed ; the city Was tranquil, and 110 intelligence had be n received trom the theatre of war BUCHAREST, Jan. 2 The strength of General Geis- mar's corps has been raised to 15,009 men. Considerable detachments of horses daily arrive from Bessarabia, to repair the losses of the Russian cavalry. WARSAW, Jan. 2— Commercial letters from St. PE- tersburg leave no hopes of the war with the Porte termi- nating during the winter. They speak only of the incre- dible activity with which preparations are making for the opening of the next campaign, by an army of double the strength of the last army. Enormous numbers of re- cruits arrive from all parts of the empire. Nine hundred pieces of cannon are sent from the arsenals towards the Danube ; and the Emperor will command the army in person, and join it in March. London, MONDAY. JANUARY2fi. His Majesty's visit to London lias linen de- ferred till this day week— and on the day after,, tjie Duke of Northumberland will be sworn in before his Majesty in Council, as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. His Grace is expected to take his departure on Wednesday the 4i_ h of February. His appointment will be Gazetted on Fri- day the tith of February. Grand dinners will be Riven by the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Aberdeen, and Mr. Peel, on Wednesday week, to the Members of both Houses of Parliament. His Majesty's Speech will be read at each of tlie dinners. Summonses were issued on Saturday morn ing from the Foreign Office, for the holding of a Cabinet Council in the afternoon at half- past three o'clock. The Ministers accordingly assembled about that hour, and remained in deliberation till past six o'clock. Soon after the conclusion of the sitting of the Cabinet, the Duke of Wellington left town for his Ma- jesty's Palace at Windsor, to have an audience of the King. His- Grace came to town yesterday morning. Another Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, yesterday afternoon, which was attended by the whole of tile Cabinet Ministers. The Cabinet did not conclude its sitting till 20 minutes past six o'clock. The Duke of Wellington left town yesterday morning on a visit to his Majesty, at Windsor Castle. Lord Melville had an interview with his Grace before his departure. Owing to the delay occasioned by the snow in the country, the mails arrived so late this morning, that the delivery of letters by the General Post did not take place till half- past eleven o'clock. In consequent of the late prevailing easterly wind, there has been but little communication between this country and the French coast. Seven Hamburgh mails are now detained at the port of Harwich. The Duke of Northumberland's appointment to the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland has been officially announced in Dublin. It is now understood, tliat the Catholic As- sociation is to be dissolved, and a new body immediately established, to be called the Association of Ireland, of which the Duke of Leinster, the Marquises of Westmeath and Clanricarde, the Earls of Glengall, Llandaff, Bec- tive, & c., Mr. Brownlow, the Grattans, and the liberal Protestants of Ireland, are to become members. The freeholders of Clare have requested Mr. O'Connell to defer his journey to London until it should be seen whether the jMition presented last year against his return will be revived in the present session of Parlia- ment. Mr. O'Connell, with whom the suggestion of this piece of advice probably originated, has acquiesced in it; BO that he will not be seen in the House of Com- mons till fourteen days after the commencement of the Session. The Marquis of Anglesey, accompanied by his three sons, Lords William, George, and Alfred Pa- get, landed at Holyhead on Monday the Jllth inst. On Tuesday evening the party arrived at Shrewsbury, and proceeded for his seat. Beaudesert, next morning. Mr. O'Connell has received 150/., Catholic Rent, from Baltimore ( America). DUBLIN, Jan. ' 23.— The Association met yes- terday, Mr. Steele in the chair. Mr. O'Connell had in his possession a letter from Clare, calling on him not to appear in Parliament until after fourteen days from the opening of the session, to enable the friends of Mr. Fitz- gerald to bring forward the petition against his ( Mr. O'Connell's) return. The freeholders of Clare requested he would not go to London for fourteen days after the sitting of Parliament— that would bring him to the 19th, of course ; their request to him was a command ; how- ever, he could manage it thus :— He meant to leave Dub- lin on the Kith of February, that would bring him to London on the 14th, or the morning of the 10th ; thus he would have two or three days to make his arrangements before the 19th, on which day he would have every thing in readiness to assert the rights of the people of Ireland, the people of Clare, and his own individual privilege of sitting, speaking, and voting in the House. In adverting to the appointment of the Duke of Nor- thumberland, Mr. O'Connell observed, " I feel it my duty to say— it is a most melancholy choice the Duke of Wellington has made: as amongst the whole English Nobility who are adverse to us, a worse selection could not possibly be made than the Duke of Northumberland. He nas not capacity enough to give religious freedom to others— and has not intellect enough to see that he is wrong. His stunted capacity cannot be enlarged into an unbiassed conception of our cause. I think this appoint- ment the worst that could possibly be made by our ene- mies, because he has not talent enough to see his way, or to be converted by argument, or political integrity enough to avow his conviction, if he even were converted." It is said that the Duke of Portland is to have one of the vacant blue ribands promised by the King to the late Mr. Canning. Gibraltar Papers of the 9th inst. state that on the 8th the greater part of the military marched into the garrison, and the whole were to proceed next day in- to the town. Most of the inhabitants in the ships in the bay had also disembarked ; and the business of the port may be stated to be resumed. Lord Cochrane is said to have resigned his command of the Greek Navy. The Journal des Debats states that various letters from Italy speak of warlike preparations going for- ward in the States of his Majesty of Sardinia. The mo- tive for such preparations is not known. It is rumoured that a Russian Diplomatist is on his way to this country from St. Petersburg, coin- missioned to lay before the Courts of London and the Tuilleries the grounds upon which Nicholas is willing to enter into pacific negotiations with the Porte. By accounts from Warsaw it appears that in the ensuing campaign the Emperor Nicholas will take the command in person so early as the month of March. The vanguard is to be under the command of General Wittgenstein, and Gen. Diebitsch will remain at the head of the staff etat- major. Generals Geismar, Roth, and Rudiger, will command separate corps fqr operating on the flanks of the grand army, and the Duke of Wirtem- berg is to be at the head of the reserve. The Turkey mail has brought dates from Con- stantinople to the 2ith, and from Smyrna to the 17th ult. The letters state that Mr. Offley, the American Consul, had proceeded from Smyrna to the Turkish capital, charged with despatches from Washington. It is reported that his mission was to make arrangements for the re- ception of an ambassador from the United States. It is further affirmed that he was well received, and had com- pletely succeeded ill the object which his Government had In view. A rumour bad been circulated to the effect that several more large American ships of war were expected in the Mediterranean. The Viceroy of Egypt is constructing a vast arsenal at Alexandria, where he is going to reside, which lias now become the centre of commerce for Egypt. The King has been pleased to appoint Mr. " Cramer, Master of his Majecty's Band of Musicians in " Ordinary, to succeed the late celebrated composer, Mr. Shield.. THE WEATHER. — Friday morning last was colder than has been experienced in this country for seve- ral winters past. The wind was unusually strong. Near " Chelsea, Battersea, and adjacent parts, the bridges were clogged up with congealed snow, and on both sides of the ' bank the water was frozen extremelv hard. Dreadful Accident on the Thames. — On Fri- day, at half- past one, two gentlemen entered a wherry at Rotherhithe, to be ferried over to ( Execution Dock; they got half way over, when the force of the current brought them between a Sunderland trader and a Dutch vessel; as the tatter was making a tack, it drove against them an immense piece of ice, which stove in the wherry, and it is with extreme regret we state, that it sunk to the bot- tom, and every individual on board perished. Mary Strainger, residing in Bethnal green, was sentenced on Tuesday by the Worship street Magis- trates to pay 20/., or six months' imprisonment, for dug- stealing. The carcases of 40 dogs were fonr. il in her resi- dence ; and upwards of ( 100 skins were discovered on the premises of one Whitney, a tanner at Hoxton, to whom she had sold them. She was discharged on Thursday, the Magistrates discovering they could not convict, as no . proof of identity in the animals could be adduced. CORN- EXCHANGE., Monday, Jan. 2C>.— Our supply of all Grain last week was but moderate, and this morn- ing also the arrival of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, was very limited ; the navigation of our river, however, being at present interrupted by the ice, not- withstanding the thaw, the business done to- day has been comparatively trifling, although fine Wheat both of our own growth and foreign obtained quite as good prices as this day se'nnight.

Underwood, 32, Fleet- street s sold by Brodie and Dowding, Salisbury, and by all other Booksellers. This celebrated Work, the result of extensive practice, fully discusses every point regarding Insanity, with which medical science, or private or popular feeling, is associated. The opinions and advice it conveys pos- sesses the deepest interest, whether relative to self, or to our immediate connections and friends. The very delicate and important subject of Religion, in reference to mental derangement, is placed in a new, and fnuch more satisfactory light. In fact, this is a complete text- book, to be perused with advantage by the Divine, the Magistrate, and the Jurisconsult, ' as well as by Medical Practitioners. It is rare indeed to meet with a publication, on the merits of which all critiques coincide : such, however, is the case with these Commentaries. See the late Num- bers of the Lond. Med. and Phys.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28. It is confidently stated, about both Houses of Parliament, that " his Majesty purposes to open the approaching Session of Parliament in person, if health permit. A Cabinet Council was held, at half- past three o'clock on Monday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, Downing- street The Ministers sat in delibera- tion during three hours. The Duke of Wellington returned from Windsor yesterday evening, after having an interview with his Majesty. A Privy Council has been summoned for the day after to- morrow. Dispatches were received this morning at the Foreign Office from Lord Heytesbury, at St. Petersburgh, dated on the 10th instant. It was reported at St. Petersburgh, in accordance with the reports to the same effect circulated at Vienna, that the Turks were disposed to negotiate. Dispatches were received this morning at the Foreign Office, from Mr. Matthews, tile British Consul at Lisbon, dated the 17th inst. They state that Don Miguel was recovering fast. Dispatches were received this morning at the Colonial Office, from Major- Gen. Sir J. Keane, K. C. B. at Jamaica, ami from Major- General Grant, at the Bahamas; and from Lieutenant- General Sir Edward Barnes, at Ceylon. Prince Lieven, the Russian Ambassador, and Count Von Mutaseichow, the Ambassador Extraordinary from the Court of Russia, had a long conference with the Duke of Wellington this morning, at the Treasury. The Young Queen of Portugal is sitting for her bust to Turnerelli, the celebrated sculptor. The roads are in so bad a state in consequence of tile sudden thaw, that die General Post letters were not received this morning till past eleven o'clock. The roads in France are, we understand, in a much worse condition. On Monday, at two o'clock, the tide was much lower than at any former period. Five arches on the Surry side of Waterloo- bridge were dry, and persons were walking into the middle of the bed of the river without scarcely wetting their shoes. Accounts have arrived from Bogota (. Colom- bia), by the Jamaica Mail, of the 24th Nov. They an- nounce that the sentence of death against Gen. Santander has been commuted by Bolivar. Ho is to be banished for life from the Colombian territory. The letters from Lisbon, received this morn- ing, state a secret expedition sailed from the Tagus on the 11th instant, supposed to be for Terceira, to intercept tile Portuguese Refugees. The expedition consisted of a frigate, a corvette, and two brigs of war. A Russian Ambassador extraordinary arrived in London yesterday Morning on an important mission. It is asserted that an express has reached the City from Vienna, bringing intelligence of a pacific character relative to Russia and Turkey. A joint note from England and France, it is said, has been presented to the Reis Effendi at Constantinople; and that that functionary declared that if Russia really was desirous of peace, and moderate in her demands, the Porte would open negotiations under the mediation of the two above- mentioned Powers. The Archbishop of Canterbury had an in- terview yesterday morning with the Duke of Wellington, at the Treasury. The Duke of Wellington left town about twelve o'clock for his Majesty's Palace at Windsor, where die Duke had all ' audience of his Majesty, and afterwards returned, to town, where his Grace arrived about six o'clock. In the evening the Noble Duke gave a grand dinner, at his residence in Downing- street, to some of the principal Ambassadors and Ministers, and their Ladies. The Cabinet office of Lord Privy Seal will, it is believed, be filled up at the approaching Council, which will he held in a few days; and ' wo noblemen have been named as likely to be appointed. Lord Veru- lam and the Marquis of Salisbury. The former is con- sidered the more probable successor to Lord Ellen- borough — Morning Herald. Extracts from the Paris papers :— " MADRID, Jan. 13 The Queen is confined toiler bed since the 8th. Her illness consists in an inflamma- tion of the throat, with a great access of fever. Daily bulletins arc published, giving an account of the situation of the august patient. " LISBON', Jan. 10—( Private Correspondence.)— The health of our young Sovereign gives no further uneasi- ness. There is a rumour that Lord Beresford is coming here to take the command of the army.— It is certain that, at the reception given by the King of England to the daughter of Don Pedro, he treated her not as a Queen, but solely as Princess of Grand- Para. This has greatly disconcerted the Liberals still in Portugal. PARIS, Jan. 24 The Deputies met yesterday, to the number of 200, in the Hall where they usually hold their sittings, in consequence of an invitation which had been sent to their residences. The object of this convoca- tion was, to be present at the reading of the ordinance for the opening of the Chambers on the 27th of the pre sent month, and to nominate the Grand Deputation which on that day is to go and receive the King." CONSTANTINOPLE, 7> « C. 25 — Wehave no news of consequence from the theatre of war. Tile Grand Vizier and the whole army are between Aidos and Shumla; they are in cantonments on account of the rigour of the season, which admits of no operations. The Grand Vizier goes from one corps to another, but still has his principal force at Aidos. A few days ago the Sultan ordered Tahir Pacha to the Vizier's camp, where he is to command a corps of 12,000 men, when the campaign begins. The most urgent commands continue to be sent for armaments in the provinces, especially to Asia; and the Porte will make a great display of force in the spring. For the last week the blockade has been fully enforced, and not a single ship laden with corn has arrived from the Archipelago. Hitherto, however, we do not feel any scarcity, as some supplies, though not large, daily arrive by land. The blockade of the Dardanelles has,' at pre- sent, only made trade more brisk. ODESSA, Jan. 3.— The winter has set in with unexampled severity; as far as the eye con reach the sea is frozen over, and no ships can enter or leave the port. LISBON, Jan. 17.— The rumours of this day- are respecting the officers who have been arrested, and who are to be tried by Don Miguel's Mixed Special Com- mission, from the sentence of which there is no appeal. The Brigadier- General Moreira will, it is said, be exe- cuted as soon as Chaves' two regiments ( 14th and 17th Infantry) arrive in Lisbon; fur there cannot be depen- dence placed on the soldiers here. Rumours of some disturbances in Oporto have been current. It is said that two respectable persons there have been condemned to be executed, and that the people have shown strong symptoms of revolt. The Governor has sent to the Government here to remove the 4th Regi- ment, on which he places but little reliance. Tile prisoners confined near Lisbon on the 9th instant, Amounted in number to 5540, besides 500 were removed last week to Abrantes from the sea coast It is rumoured that three Portuguese of high rank are about to be tried and to be executed. The old Queen's partizans in Lisbon have lately circulated there a proclamation, calling on the . Portuguese to transfer the Royal authority from Don Miguel into her hands.- The following is an extract: 11 Royalists ! The throne and tile altar are now tottering on the brink of ruin. The King, from his severe illness, and the constant restraint under which he lias been kept, has been compelled, by his fears, to temporize with that impious Masonic faction, which, for a length of time, has surrounded and still surrounds his Royal person. The prisons are converted into so many Masonic lodges, where, without danger, they conspire against the throne and the altar. Let us, for the present, withdraw the loins of government from the hands of our hero, the King, Don Miguel, which, though at other times power- ful. are now become feeble from his infirmities, and from the machinations of the vile set now surrounding him. Let us call her Majesty, the beloved Queen Mother, to govern in his Royal name. Let the Queen Donna Car- Jotta de Bourbon govern ! and death at one blow to the Republican . Monster of Free Masonry; the gallows and the triangles must work conjointly, and with energy ; ami fires must be kindled in every quarter of Portugal to reduce to ashes the bodies and properties of these vile monsters!" THE SERPENTINE RIVER The ice was crowded yesterday with similiters and spectators ; the for- mer were principally of tile Sunday caste, though we holier! Mr. Bung and Mr. Charles Kemble ( graceful on the ice as on the stage), amongst the former. The sides ot' the river were crowded with pedestrians. It is said that Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald has de- clared his intention not to dispute the validity of the return of Mr. O'Connell on the ground of the interference of the Catholic priests in the election; and that in conse- quence of this change* Mr. O'Connell has again changed his plan of proceeding, and has expressed his intention to be in London on the 5th of February. DUBLIN, Jan. 25.— The Right Hon. John Leslie Foster, whoso services on the Irish education Com- mission of Inquiry elicited so much of valuable informa- tion, is about to be appointed one of tile Puisne Judges of the Irish Court of Exchequer, in the place of Baron M'Clelland, who retires oil account of continued indispo- sition. This nomination will leave a vacancy in the representation of the county of Louth, for which Mr. Foster is one of the Members. This county will again become the scene of a contested election, as the Associa- tion lias determined to set up a cannidate in the person either of Mr. Shiel or Lord William Paget, whose father, our late Lord Lieutenant, has, it is said, some property in that county. Mr. Fortescue, who was the unsuccessful candidate at the last election, will, it is said, come forward on this occasion. There can, however, be no doubt that while the Roman Catholic forty shilling freeholders are allowed to form the greater part of the constituency of Ireland, the agitators will return whom they please. It is also said that the Chief Baron O'Grady will also retire with a peerage, Baron Roekbarton, the name of the learned Judge's family seat in the county of Limerick. Some members of the Duke of Northumberland's household are expected to arrive in this metropolis early next week, to make the necessary arrangements both at the Castle and at the Vice- Regal 1 Lodge, Preparato y to the arrival of his Excellency. His Grace will arve here about the third week in February, so as to be enabled to commence the Vice- Regal festivities wit i the Drawing- Room. Levee, and Ball, on the 17th of March. The Duchess of Northumberland will not, it's said, arrive until the commencement of April. It is consi- der! d here one of the most admirable strokes of that tine policy which has hitherto distinguished the administration of the Duke of Wellington, that his Grace has been able to induce the new Viceroy to accept the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The only point of praise in tile brief administration of the Marquis of Anglesey, which all parties combined to praise and admire, was the mu- nilicence of his living at the Castle, and the consequent encouragement which it afforded to the shopkeepers of this city. In this characteristic he will he surpassed by his successor, whose splendour as the representative of his Sovereign at the French Court, at the Sucre of Charles X., was so unrivalled and worthy of his august master. Jan. 21! Letters have been received to- day from the late Viceroy, dated from Beaudesert. and addressed to the Marchioness of Anglesey. The Noble Marquis re- mained, and continues ro remain, in Staffordshire, until Parliament assemble. To- morrow the Marchioness, and Ladies Agnes and Georgiana Paget, together with the junior branches of the family, leave Ireland for Holyhead These distinguished personages retire with the sincere and unaffected concern of the whole country, to whom their patronage of trade, and their various and many acts of munificence, have endeared them— Lord Prudhoe, Captain Royal Navy, has been offered by his Lordship's brother the State Stewardship of the House- hold. The Lord Mayor of Dublin lias to- day announced to a Deputation, which waited upon his Lordship for the purpose, that he will name an early day for a Protestant Meeting of the Citizens, conformably with a Requisition presented by the Deputation to his Lordship. DUBLIN, Jan. 26.— Lawless arrived in town yesterday from Belfast, and in the course of the day made his appearance at the Dublin Library, where he was surrounded, and congratulated upon his escape at the duel. He admitted his opponent to be a brave man. This fight is but preparatory to another of a different description, which he will soon have to engage in with the Government, at the Assizes of Monaghan, for the Ballibay business. He has already engaged Mr. O'Con- nell, Mr. Perrin, and Mr. Holmes. Tile annual dinner of the Orphan's Friend Society was held on Thursday, at Hayes' large Room, Dawson- street. The chair was taken by Daniel O'Connell, Esq. M. P., who, on taking up the list of toasts, said that there was a mistake. The King was first, but it was the people who made the King, and, therefore, it could be no dis- respect to our monarch to place them before him. He accordingly gave " the People," and afterwards " the King." It is unnecessary to say that both toasts were received with marked applause. " The Duke of Sussex" was drunk with the liveliest feelings of affection ; but the next toast, " the Marquis of Anglesey," caused emo- tions that cannot be described, especially when the Chair- man said he was removed on account of his impartiality. The plaudits, waving of handkerchiefs, and other de- monstrations of respect for the venerated name of Angle- sey, continued for some minutes. " The Catholic Asso- ciation" was given amidst tremendous cheering. CORK, Jan. 24.— On Tuesday evening, be- tween ten and eleven o'clock, as Dr. Norcott, accom- panied by one of his daughters, was returning in his car- riage from Admiral Evans's, where they had dined with a large, party, to Cottage, the Doctor's residence, just sit Ballynamona bridge they were suddenly attacked by two villains, who called out to the coachman to " halt" or " stop," but no notice being taken of them, they re- peated the command, and it not being complied with, they instantly fired their blunderbusses. Three balls en- tered the carriage, three others took an oblique direction through it, and three more took effect on the servants, who were seated on the box. One bull passed through the coachman's left arm, another lodged in the footman's shoulder, and a third wounded him in the back ; the latter was rather slight. In this state the unfortunate but faithful men urged on the horses; with great diffi- culty they reached home, where they became so faint from loss of blood, that they could scarcely have pro- ceeded farther. It would be difficult to paint the dread- ful situation of the inmates of the carriage during this eventful period. The Doctor, though slightly wounded in the cheek from a splinter of the glass, which was shat- tered on all sides, was cool and collected, and had to divide his attention between Miss Norcott, who was, as may be naturally supposed, horror- struck with fright, and the unfortunate men who were endeavouring while bathed in their blood to get on the horses. As soon as they arrived at Cottage, Dr Norcott extracted the ball from the footman's shoulder, and dressed both their wounds. Though the poor fellows are severely wounded, it is gratifying to state that there is no danger of their lives. On Wednesday, when the report of this villanous at- tack spread abroad, all the magistrates and gentry for several miles round, repaired to Dr. Norcott's, where an investigation has been entered into, which, for the sake of justice and the peace of our country, we hope will lead to the apprehension of the villains, A large reward will be immediately offered, which will, no doubt, he fol- lowed up by one from the Government, and a free par- don, unless to the villains who actually fired the shots.— Cork Constitution. The mob which escorted Lord Anglesea out of Dublin carried green banners, with the words 11 Con- stitutional Agitation" in gold letters. The Duke of Northumberland lias been for some years married to a daughter of the Earl of Powis, but has no family i and his only brother. Lord Prudhoe, is heir presumptive to the dukedom. His Grace was bom on the 20th of April 1785, and i « therefore in bis 44th year. His Grace took his seat in the House of Lords during the life- time of the late Duke, in 1812, as Baron Percy, lie succeeded his father in 1817. It is reported that the new Viceroy of Ire- land has declared hi i willingness to support any Bill for the Emancipation of the Catholics which the Premier may submit to Parliament. On Friday a duel look place near Belfast, between Mr. Lawless and Mr. F. Gregg, in consequence of a letter, signed and published by Mr. Lawless, charg- ing Mr. Gregg with falsehood. The parties fired twice, and Mr. Lawless's second ball passed through the skirts of Mr. Gregg's coat, when the seconds ' interfared, and, declaring that both gentlemen had conducted themselves with honour and courage, refused to sanction further hostilities. An Anti- Catholic meeting was held at Chard, Somerset, on Thursday; the Portreeve ( Mr. James Grove) presiding. The Rev. Mr. Whitehead ( rector of Chard) proposed a petition to Parliament, deprecating as a national evil the exclusion of any portion of our fellow subjects from civil offices; but that, on account of the peculiar tendencies and characteristics of the Roman Catholic faith, " an infinitely greater national evil than the partial political incapacity of any minority of our fellow- countrymen is involved in the unconditional con- cession of the Roman Catholic claims ; and consequently that a Protestant Legislature ought not to admit the ad- herents of Popery into the higher departments of the administration of a Protestant Church and State, without first requiring and obtaining from them every satisfactory protection and security against the further perversion of their power."—. Mr. East moved an amendment, which went the length of excluding the Roman Catholics for ever from the privilges of the Constitution, on the ground that they have no securities to offer. After some dis- cussion, the petition and amendment were put to the vote, and the latter was carried ; though it is but justice to state, that the original petition was signed by a very considerable number of the intelligent and influential persons present. The Catholic Association met as nsual in Dublin on Thursday last, when the amount of Catholic rent, from Kith January inclusive, was stated to be 621/. 3.;. 4d. The poverty and misery in Spitalfields are dreadful in the extreme. A deputation from the weavers who are out of employment waited upon the Lord Mayor two days ago, for the purpose of soliciting his Lordship's advice as to the most advisable course of proceeding in this awful extremity; and one of the principal officers of the parish assured tile Lord Mayor that the wretchedness of the unemployed mechanics was almost incredible. The parish authorities had been obliged, in order to relieve the craving necessities of 2400 individuals, to borrow a sum of money upon the approaching assessment. Out of 13,000 looms there were at that moment no fewer than 6000 now vacant. There is a report of there being an intention of converting the Collosseum into a kind of Ranelagh, if a license can be obtained for that purpose. A meeting of the Protestants of the county of Cavan, in Ireland, took place last week, the High She- riff in the chair, when upwards of 25,000 persons assem- bled, and an address to his Majesty against the Catholic Claims was moved and carried unanimously. A similar meeting to the aboue, consisting of 50,000 Protestants of the county of Armagh, was also held last week, when it was unanimously agreed to petition Par- liament against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. The Russian official narrative of the late cam- paign has appeared in the Petersburgh papers, and its object seems to be, to remove the impression which very generally exists of the extent of the Russian losses, but on a compariron of circumstances, it is pretty evident that if the Emperor, at the outset of the campaign, had not held so high a tone, his want of success would not have been attended with so much mortification to his military pride, nor would it have been necessary to endeavour to prove to Europe that the Turks had been worsted in every conflict. VIENNA, Jan. 14.— The Russian squadron, under Admiral Rion, still continues to cruize of Tenedos, and orders all ships laden with provisions, bound for Constantinople, that attempt to enter the Dardanelles, to put back. Several vessels, however, laden with manu- factured goods, dried fruits, and salt, have been allowed to enter the Hellespont. Jussuff Pacha is said to have received six hundred roubles per day at Odessa, as a remuneration for his treachery. LISBON, Jan. 17.— In the . afternoon of Sun- day last, as several Englishmen of the greatest respect- ability were walking up and down in the Black Horse- square, according to daily habit, two of them were sud- denly attacked by the Royal Volunteers, who, in a most unprovoked manner, began to beat them with their swords. One of those gentlemen, being a man of resolu- tion, seized the sword of the chief of the volunteer gang ( the son of a civil officer of our municipality, a most dar- ing and infamous character), took it from him, knocked him down with his fist, and crushed him under his feet, whilst he endeavoured to break the sword, which he bent like a hoop. While thus engaged, the other volunteers, who were trying to extricate their compa ion from that gentleman's hands, were assisted by their comrades, who let go the other unfortunate sufferer. They were all con- ducted to the guard- house. The commander of the guard sent the prisoners before the magistrate of the district. This illustrissimo, Senhor Semblano, having heard the complaints, answered them by the following remarkable sentence:—" As the prisoners have been reciprocally well served, they may go about their business." The imprisonments have not ceased all through this week, on account of the last attempt at insurrection, and the troops are under arms every night. The late severe weather brought great quan- tities of wild fowl to the shores of the Solent. Colonel Hawker, who is at his winter cottage at Keyhaven, near Lymington, has exceeded even his own former exploits ir. this description of shooting. The Colonel was out from noon on the 21st instant till six the next morning, when he brought home 101 widgeon, 4 ducks, 6 plovers, and 1 coot, ( one hundred and twelve birds recovered, be- sides some that were lost, the produce of eighteen hours sport.) Col. H. shot at 5 hoopers, or wild swans, picked up 3, and shot another which towered to a great height, and fell into a heavy sea. It might be supposed that ex- posure through the night at so low a temperature as that of the 21st instant, would beany thing but agreeable,— yet the exertions of the body, and the continual excite- ment of the mind, kept Col. Hawker in a pleasureable glow of warmth and gentle perspiration through the whole of the time. Considerable alarm and some damage were produced upon the River by the late frost. The shipping in the Lower Pool has, in a great many instances, been driven from their moorings, by the immense floating ' bo- dies of ice which have continually, upon the return of the tide, been forced between the tiers of shipping. Since Wednesday last, until Monday, not a single vessel de- parted from the River. The wind first set in heavily from the N. N. E., and but slightly veered until about four o'clock Monday morning, when a heavy fall of rain commenced, and the vane changed to S. by S W.; a brisk thaw commenced, and the ice on the shores broke up, and swept away towards the mouth of the Channel, and during the entire of the day floated down the river in great masses. A large collier brig, the Arabella, was driven by the force of the current from her mooring- chain and lines, and sunk in Limehouse- reach. A tier of about fifty colliers drifted from Limehouse, anyone or two lost their masts, and others were much damaged. Several lighters were carried away with resistless impe- tuosity, and three laden with corn capsized and swamped at. Woolwich; one only was recovered at Erith, where she had been driven on shore. The sailors and masters of the vessels in the centre tiers in the river, in many in- stances. were unable to quit their ships, and only in some places could assistance be rendered them from the Shore. The river on Monday evening was getting toler- ably clear of the ice- bergs. There is good reason to believe that the ex- portation of sovereigns is now going on to a very £ reat extant. We understand, from good authority, that sovereigns were last week exported from London to France, Flanders, and Holland, though not a single ounce of gold was entered at the Customhouse. The Bank, in order to meet the drain upon its coffers, is now coining sovereigns very extensively— M. Herald. Lord Dalhousie, the late Governor of the Camillas, is making preparations for his approaching de- parture for India, ill which country he has received the appointment of Commander of the Forces, vice Lord Combermere. Mr. Justice Park is so much indisposed by a severe cold as to be unable to attend his public duties. KING'S COLLEGE.— It is said that the eastern side of Somerset House will be the site of this structure. Mr. Smirke is actively employed in making designs. An Admiralty order was received at Ports- mouth last week, to permit mechanics to volunteer for 1 the New Settlement on Swan River. I The Rev. Wm. Grant Broughton is appointed to the Archdeaconry of New South Wales. It is said that Sir W. Curtis had insured his life in different offices for 100,000/. On Monday night last a Grand Masquerade took place at the King's Theatre. There were, upon a fair computation, not less that 3,000 persons present, at- tired in the costumes of all nations, and great numbers | representing dramatic characters. Dancing was kept up with much spirit till a late hour, and the supper and I wines afforded general satisfaction. DEATH OF MR. SHIELD.— This amiable man and eminent composer breathed his last about one o'clock on Sunday morning, at a very advanced age. Mr. 1 Shield was Master of his Majesty's band, composer of the Birth- day Odes, & c. & c. His dramatic composi- tions were very numerous and eminently successful, among which were— Rosina, The Poor Soldier, The Farmer, The Flitch of Bacon, Hartford Bridge, The Woodman, The Travellers in Switzerland, Robin Hood, Abroad and at Home, Fontainbleau, Lock and Key, Netley Abbey, Two Faces under a Hood, & c. He also composed excellent songs, particularly, The Thorn, O bring me Wine, The Wolf, By the deep Nine, The Post Captain, Old Towler, Tom Moody, The Prince and Old England, and a most erudite Treatise on Har- mony. Mr. Shield was a very superior performer on the Viola ( Tenor Violin), and as a private character he was highly respected and esteemed by all who knew him. A munificent lady in Yorkshire has recently offered to subscribe 50,000/. towards the endowment of an university in that county ; and a noble Earl has i professed his willingness to give a similar benefaction. Exeter ' Change is shortly to come down, to make room for the intended improvements in the Strand; the work of demolition commences in a month. PUBLIC- HOUSE LICENCES.— At the late Surrey Sessions, a discussion took place as to the present Act regulating Publicans' Licences. MT. Randall Jackson said, that in the East half hundred of Brixton there were 800 public- houses which the Magistrates had no power to shut up. The Chairman observed, that by the present Act all the inference to be drawn on the subject was that, the Licensed Houses should be shut during divine service, morning and evening, on Sabbath, Christmas- Day, and Good Friday; after which, so that rule and good order was kept, the Publicans were beyond the reach of the penalties of this Act, so far as regarded closing their houses. BRISTOL.— Our port is partaking largely in the benefits of steam navigation, and is progressively re- covering much of that trade, with the South of Ireland ill particular, which from supineness anil overcharges was so strangely suffered to be transferred elsewhere, and which the position of Bristol points out as so naturally belonging to her. If we are not misinformed, this in- tercourse might at this juncture he most advantageously increased, would our fellow- citizens properly exert them- selves to obtain the establishment at Portishead of the Post- Office Packets, which at Milford is at present a losing concern to the revenue, but upon which harbour Government is still about to expend many thousand pounds, and yet will not then be able to make it so com- modious or conyenient a station, as Portishead might be rendered by the laying out of half the sum Bristo Journal When a Grand Vizier is favourably deposed, that is without ' banishing or putting him to death, it is signified ••• him by a messenger from the Sultan, who gees to his table, and wipes the ink out of his golden pen; this he understands as the sign of dismissal. Among the numerous instructions contained in the will of the late Mr. Smith, surgeon, of Crawley, was a codicil, directing that, immediately on his decease, a large tree, which for many years ) iad stood before his door, should be, without loss of time, cut down, and a coffin constructed therefrom, to contain his remains,— the coffin boards to be two inches in thickness, and to be fastened together with mortice, tenant, and pins, not a particle of iron being to be used in the receptacle of mor- tality. These instructions were most strictly attended to. — Brighton Herald. An association for the protection of property at Guildford has been established, and comprises nearly .200 of the most respectable inhabitants, six of whom watch every night in their turn. An order has also been issued by the mayor that all public houses be closed at eleven o'clock. NORWICH, Jan. 21.— The grand miscellaneous concert performed on Thursday evening in the Corn Ex- change for the benefit of the Spanish and Italian Refu- gees, was attended by about four hundred ladies and gen- tlemen of the county and city. Among the company present on the occasion we observed Lord Stafford, the lion. Col. Wodehouse ( his Majesty's Lieutenant of the county,) Mr. Edmund Wodehouse, M. P., Admiral Lukin, and many of the principal families. Miss Farrar distinguished herself in Mrs. P. Millard's deservedly po- pular ballad of Alice Gray ; and we think was even vet more happy in the " Cara adorata immagine," of Pacini, which exhibited her skill and sweetness as a vocalist to very superior advantage. Mr. Edward Taylor exerted himself with a degree of success decidedly striking. Our fellow- citizen, whose capabilities us a bass singer are well known, gratified the audience with the most masterly displays of scientific acquirement, and we can scarcely say in which school of vocal art, the English or the Ita- lian, he appeared to give tilt more satisfactory proof of professional talent and skill. Mr. Seymour's fantasia, was a beautiful piece of violin playing. " But the principal instrumental treat, was the Violoncello Solo of Mr. C. Lucas, of Salisbury ; we have not heard so capital a performance on that instrument since our ears were last delighted with the magic tones of the incomparable Lindley. Portugal still continues a scene of agitation and intestine broils. The usurper Miguel, it appeals, is now sufficiently recovered from his late accident to hold conferences with tile Ministers of War and Foreign A flairs. Several resolutions to amend the Constitu- tion of the United Suites are now before the Congress. One is, that no person shall be elected a second time to the Presidency; another,. that no Representative shall accept a place under the Government till the time he was elected for shall have expired. The American papers state that about 200 islands have been lately discovered by the navigators of Nantucket in the South Seas and Southern Pacific Ocean, which are not laid down on any map, or chart, either in Europe or America. Many of those islands contain inhabitants who had never before seen a white man. Philadelphia papers state that measures are in progress in Congress for the settlement of the law! of the new territory of the Union, to be termed the Huron territory. The Minister who arrived in this country some time since, from Lisbon, with credentials from Don Miguel, as King of Portugal, but whose appoint- ment was not acknowledged by our Ministers, continues, notwithstanding, to reside in London, and has taken a house for a length of time; and, although lie has not personal interviews with our Ministers, he is in constant correspondence with the Earl of Aberdeen and the Duke of Wellington. There are about fifty natives of Por- tugal in frequent consultation with him. Accounts from Hamburgh, of the 16th inst. state that the Elbe is covered with ice, as far as Neusta- den, and the navigation, to and from Harburg is put a stop to. From Amsterdam we learn that all the rivers are covered with ice, extending to a great distance in the Zuyder Sea. Letters have been received by way of New York, from Bogota, to the 7th of November, stating that General Santander had been convicted of the charge of conspiracy brought against him, and condemned to death ; but doubts were entertained whether some com- mutation of the sentence, such as banishment from the Republic, would not be proposed by that body. Every thing was quiet in that quarter of Colombia— The British Minister, Colonel Campbell, and the Conusl- General, had each been paying a visit to the English Mining Company's Mines, in the province of Maraquita ( three or four days' journey from Bogota), and had returned, much satisfied, it is said, with the progress of the works there, and particularly with the advancement made in training the native population in mining on the English system. Te Deum was performed in the chapel of the winter palace at St Petersburgh the 6th instant, for the deliverance of Russia from the French in the winter of 1812. Jamaica papers of the 17th nit. bring the in- telligence of the re- passing of the Slave Amendment Bill of 1820 with few amendments. It passed after many divisions and long debates. A bill to place the free people of colour ( who lately have arrived at great wealth and consideration) on the same footing with the white in- habitants, has been lost: for the bill the numbers were 13; for the amendment that the bill be read that day six months, 23. A letter from Fernando Po mentions the dis- covery of the tea- tree as indigenous. The young colony was in an exceedingly prosperous state; and the conduct of Captain Owen, who had assumed the civil situation of governor, had given general satisfaction, both to the natives and to those tinder his orders. Mr. Hale, of King's Walden, at his Christmas audit, made an abatement of 25 per cent, to the tenants of his extensive estates, in one county of Hertford. In addition to the money annually distributed among the poor of Romsey, arising from the Charities of which the Corporation are Trustees, the Rev. D. Wil- liams, Vicar of Romsey, now residing in Bath, remitted last week 20/., which were by his directions expended in the purchase of coals, to be distributed among the poor families not receiving parochial relief. " What a string of excellent moral mandates is the Decalogue I" exclaimed a young preacher. " Aye, Sir !" said the clerk, a sort of Caleb Qnotem ; " but some folks would like the string better, if it were not so full of notes" A notorious thief on being sentenced at Southampton sessions last week to 14 years' transporta- tion, said, addressing the Recorder, " I thank you, Sir; I had no idea I should have so long to live. In short, I expected to have been hung before that time " MARCH OF INTELLECT.— A few days since, a female servant in a family in the vicinity of Worcester went into the dressing- room of her mistress, and, after a most graceful curtesy, preferred the following request :•— " I hope, Madam, you will dispense with my services this evening, as I am engaged to a small evening party in Worcester." UNION- HALL.— The Dwarf and the Pig- faced Lady Yesterday morning much amusement was af- forded in the office owing to the attendance of a dwarf, who had walked through the streets, from the caravan where he was exhibiting, to Union Hall, followed by an immense multitude, attracted by his diminutive and singular appearance. The little man, slipping up to the bar, the top of which his head did not reach, addressed the Magistrate, saying that the object of his visit was for the purpose of applying for a warrant or summons against a man named Stephenson, who engaged him to travel about in a van, and exhibit himself to the public. The dwarf said that his name was Lipson, and proceeded to describe the fatigue and drudgery attendant on the life of a man placed in his situation, which, he declared, was any thing but an enviable one. His wages were small, being only three shillings a- week ; and for that remune- ration for his services he was obliged to be constantly confined in a small vehicle, with a man and his wife, and a large family of squalling children ; and when it rained, the water poured through the caravan, and al- most drowned him, together with the rest of the inmates. But this was not all the incoeveniene that he was obliged to submit to in the service of Stephenson, who obliged him to sit cheek by jowl with the pig- faced lady, which he ( the dwarf) considered to be a very great degradation, this pig- faced lady being neither better nor worse than a shaved bear; and Mr. Bruin sometimes took it into his head to play off some very rough and uncouth tricks : for instance, when he was seized with a hungry fit, he would not care what uproar he kicked up in the van, and he often and often directed his fury against the poor dwarf • on these occasions, who had been frequently under the necessity of jumping out of the vehicle, to the danger and hazard of breaking his neck, to escape the fury of her pig- faced ladyship. With all these misfortunes, how- ever, said the' dwarf, I would willingly put up, if I were paid my wages regularly; but no, this has not been the case, and my master is now three weeks in my debt; and when I ask him for my money, he refuses it, and taunts me with not drawing the public,_ When drawing a contrast between the services of the pig- faced lady and myself, master always gives the preference to the former, and it is rather cutting that more attention should be paid to a hanimal than a human cretur. The magistrate told the dwarf he must apply to the Court of Requests, and he left the office followed by a mob. Inhabited En- use and Window Duties.— The spirit of opposition to these annoying taxes is now become general in Bath: in addition to the populous parish of Walcot, meetings were on Thursday held of the parishes of Bathwick and St. James's, when petitions for a repeal were agreed to. A meeting of St. Michael's was also held oil Friday for the same object. There is a report in circulation that it is in- tended by Ministers, in the ensuing Session of Parlia- ment, to propose a reduction in the duties on the impor- tation of British Plantation as well as East India Sugars. The delivery of Sugars last week from the West India Docks, was nearly 3,000 casks, and the stock yesterday was 28,434 hhds., and 1,815 tres. The demand con- tinues very good, and business was done on Saturday at an advance of one per cwt. The Times newspaper, one day last week, in- stead of giving a supplement, was printed upon an entire sheet of paper, measuring four feet in length, and three in breadth, and containing 48 columns of matter, or nearly 150,000 words ; which would form considerably more than a thick octovo volume of any modern work. The frost which set in with such severity on Wednesday se'nnight, broke up on Sunday night last, and so sudden was the thaw that eighteen sheep belonging to Mr. Hawkins, of Martinstown. Dorset, were drowned by the floods rushing down the hills. The present seasonable weather could not have occurred at a more favourable season for the agri- culturist: the wheat which was getting too luxuriant has received a timely check, and a stop has been put to the depredations of slugs, which were unusually numerous. The Hilary Term commenced on Friday. Mr. Common Sergeant Denman took his seat within the Bar, as King's Counsel, his Majesty having granted him a patent of precedency. The Duke of Northumberland's private for- tune is said to exceed 150,000/. a year. A reduction of the several departments of the Navy is in contemplation, in accordance with the late surveys held by the Lords of the Admiralty. ROYAL ARCH, HYDE PARK CORNER.— The wooden fencing has been removed which concealed from the public eye the full proportions and beauty of the magnificent arch which constitutes the garden entrance to the New Palace. It will be generally allowed, that this gate- way is of a very high style of art; and it is pronounced, not only the finest of Air. Nash's works, but the most splendid specimen of ornamental architec- ture known in England. The Duke of Cumberland addressed the fol- lowing letter to the Earl of Enniskillen, on accepting the office of Grand Master of the Orange Lodges of Ireland : " My attachment to the sacred eause of Protestantism, which I imbibed from the instructions arid example of my late revered father, George the Third, has been in- creased and strengthened by experience and reflection; convinced as I am that the British Constitution, the most invaluable that ever existed, from its religious and free character, cannot continue, should Protestant Ascendancy be destroyed. I shall ever be found to abide by those principles which guided the conduct of my honoured father and Sovereign, and of my beloved brother, the present King, and the late Duke of York; and which I cannot but consider to be those for the defence of which the House of Brunswick was called to the Throne." Advices from Bussorah, of the 11th July, re- ceived at Bombay, state that the plague was raging around Bagdad and in the neighbouring districts. The Political Agent had, therefore, found it necessary to re- quire masters of British and other vessels quitting the Persian Gulf for any other port, to provide themselves with bills of health. \ The Rev. Mr. Eyre, Rector of Molesworth, Huntingdonshire, made an abatement in his Michaelmas rents of 20 per cent. John Wilmot, the son of Mrs. Olivia Wilmot Serres, better known as Olive, Princess of Cumberland, is at present a casual pauper on the parish of St. Giles's, which has afforded him occasional relief during the last three or four years. INFANT SCHOOLS.— It appears from an ad- dress of Sir John Sinclair, on the advantages of Infant Schools, that 300 of such schools have already been formed in England and Scotland. Important to Clergymen— In a case tried at Bedford county sessions ' the Clergyman had been rated to the poor rates in respect of the money composition re- ceived by him in lieu of tithes; and the Court, up m argument of counsel on both sides, decided that the cler- gyman was liable to be rated, and confirmed the rate. GAS SPRING.— A spot has been discovered in the hill side, near the Universalist Church, in Utica, from which constantly issues a considerable volume of inflammable gas, which appears to be pure carburetted hydrogen. It burns with great intensity and affords a very| brilliant light. The soil from which it arises consists chiefly of a mixture of clay and slate, and no water has as yet been met with, though the digging has proceeded several feet. The deeper the cut the greater the quantity of, gas evolved is said to be. Measures are taking to confine it, with a view to ascertain its nature more parti cularly, and to exhibit its inflammable properties more readily.— New York Gazette. The carpet manufacture at Kidderminstsr is is in a state of much briskness ; the weavers are fully employed, and the best understanding exists between the workmen and their masters. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.— On Monday after- noon. the 19th instant, two amiable young men, William and George Bradley, sons of Mr. Bradley, of the Middle Hillgate, Stockport, were drowned in a reservoir which supplies Messrs. Axon's factory with water. They had gone in company with some friends to enjoy the recrea- tion of skating on this reservoir, and had been following this amusement the greater part of the afternoon, when, about five o'clock, one of them, George, and three other young men, were precipitated into the water in conse- quence of the ice breaking; the three young men extri- cated themselves speedily, but George could not. His brother, with all the warmth of fraternal affection, rushed towards the spot, for the purpose of rendering him assist- ance, when, melancholy to relate, within a short distance from the place where his brother had fallen in, the ice also gave way with him, and he fell into the water. Their more fortunate companions hastened oft' the ice, disen- gaged their feet from the skates, and went into the water with tile desire to rescue them from a watery grave. But all was in vain ; the first had sunk to rise no more alive, and William also disappeared from their agotised sight. — Their bodies were afterwards found, but all efforts to restore animation failed. Last week, a gentleman who joined Toms's Bath Coach at Bruton, on its journey to Weymouth, borrowed from Oliver, the coachman, his best box coat to keep him warm. When they arrived at Dorchester, the gentleman told Oliver that whilst the horses were changed, he would walk on the Weymouth road, until the coach overtook him. Nothing, however, has been since seen, either of the coat or the wearer, who had also forgotten to pay his fare. JUVENILE SUICIDE— On Monday se'nnight, a lad only 12 years of age, named Densom, only child of Farmer Densom, of Cossington, Somerset, having been rebuked by his father for some offence, went out from his parent's house, and hung himself with a rope usually made use of whilst milking cows. Last week the house of Mrs. Spring, in the Market- place, Shepton Mallet, was broken open and 16 sides of bacon and 6 hams were stolen. The property was traced to the house of a man of the name of Benjamin Stephens, alias Adlam, where the whole of the bacon and hams were found. Stephens absconded, and has not been heard of since. Six pugilists were committed at the late Wakefield sessions to twelve months' imprisonment for assaulting a Magistrate, when attempting to stop a prize fight at Bramham Moor, and five others to one month. Henry Downer, confidential clerk to Mr. R. Davis, of Shoreditch, was fully committed to Newgate on Friday from Bow- street, charged with embezzling 1360/. CAUTION.— On Monday, a rotten sheep, taken from Jas. Playdon, butcher, of Pershore, who has a standing in the country shambles at Worcester, was burnt in front of the Guildhall— Worcester Journal. Joseph Fernandez, a Jew, was ordered to find good bail on Friday at Lambeth- street Office, for keeping a nursery for young thieves, and enticing them to gamble. CORN EXCHANGE, Jan. 28.— Although we had no arrival of supplies since Monday, very little busi- ness lias been transacted on our market this morning ; but those sales effected were at the prices of last market day. Mrs. RADCLIFFE, Mrs. OPIE., & Miss AUSTEN. — It is very remarkable that the peculiar excellencies of these distinguished novelists should be the striking cha racteristics of the Author of De Lisle's two new Tales, The Trials of Life;— which have been designated by The Times, most truly, " those romances of real life, of which Lord Byron says, * we see and hear more than we shall ever read.'" " The tragical vein of the first story," observes The Athenaeum, " is pursued through scenes and adventures of the most solemn gloom, with a skill which would not have disgraced Mrs. Radcliffe herself," and this is followed," says The Examiner, by one of a simplicity, truth, and power of pathos, which reminds us of the best performances of Mrs. Opie: its truth is alone comparable with the superior, but less honoured, productions of Miss Austen. This work, we understand, will, very shortly, have a rival in popula- rity, in the forthcoming novel of the Court,— The Ad- ventures of a King's Page ; which is confidently reported to be written by one of the Almack's authors." 15909 Rheumatism, Gout. Coughs, and Colds.— LIFE PILLS, entirely Vegetable, discovered by the Rev. C. CARRINGTON, Vicar of Berkeley, one of his Majesty's Deputy Lieutenants, & c. for the County of Gloucester. Respected Friends,— As a small tribute of gratitude to the inventor of Carrington's Life Pills, and for the be- nefit of my fellow mortals, I am induced to declare that I have found very great benefit in taking them. For upwards of twenty- five years I have been so afflicted with Rheumatism as occasionally to lose the use of my limbs ; nothing has ever relieved me in the astonishing manner that these Pills have, and though I am now sixty- three years of age, yet one Pill at night carries off any attack ; my wife has experienced equal benefit from them.

AS a corroborative proof of the powerful efficacy of the Cordial Balm of Life, Dr. Lamert considers it an act of justice to himself here to insert the following testimonial of a disinterested individual, whose health has been restored by using it. Sin, Doncaster, 10th Sept. 1828. I should conceive my conduct to be most ungrateful, did I not, in distinct terms, express my sincere acknow- ledgements for the unexpected benefit I have derived from the use of your truly valuable medicine, the " Cordial Balm of Life." I have suffered, during the last five years, under a most afflicting attack, which made my life miserable. At night, in particular, 1 was not only deprived of rest, but obliged to keep alight in my room constantly, fearful of suffocation from incessant coughing, and unable to remove the phlegm from my chest, until, exhausted by the effort I expected death every moment approaching. I consulted different medical gentlemen— some said my complaint was asthmatic; others that it was consumptive ; but the medicines they prescribed for me afforded me only a temporary respite from mv sufferings. As my friends oberved the rapid decay of my health, they advised me to remove to Scar- borough, ( as I have some relatives in that place) where the change of air might alleviate my complaint. I accoid- ingly did so, and at that time was, from the prejudices ( I must row in candour allow) of ignorant persons, disin- clined to try any medicines unless it was prescribed by my physician. However, an old friend of mine, a Mr. Harewood, in the strong! st terms advised me to give your Cordial Balm of Life a fair trial. This was in the early part of July last. I took two bottles of 10s. fid. according to the directions, and found more relief from them than any other medicine I had ever before used. I gradually began to breathe more freely; my sleep became more tranquil; and I felt the greatest comfort, by being enabled to remove the phlegm from my stomach, without that violent coughing which used formerly to produce copious perspiration and excessive exhaustion, but alas ! no re- lief^ I continued to take the Balm of Life, in the pro- portions you have described in your directions, until the latter end of August, having used exactly six bottles al- together, and now find myself as sound in health as I ever was at the earliest period of my life. I shall always feel happy in repeating what I have now written, on every occasion when your name, or the Balm of Life, may he the subject of conversation. I am, Sir, with sentiments of esteem and respect, your obedient servant, THEOBALD COPPINGER. To Dr. Lamert, 10, Church- street, Spitalfields, London.

The Session of the two Chambers opened on that day, and the King in person delivered, at the Louvre, a Speech to the Peers and Members of the Chamber of Deputies. This Speech breathes throughout a mildness and conciliation— a love of peace and social intercourse with other nations, which do credit to the Sovereign and the Ministers who conduct the affairs of the State. After stating that the relations with Foreign Powers continue to be friendly, it enters at some length into the state of intercourse between France and the other nations of the world, and though some have not fulfilled their engage- ments, and others have committed injuries against France, nothing like resentment or an unkindly feeling is exhibited. The allusion to the Government of Hayti displays this spirit in an eminent, degree, and resembles more the paternal affection of a parent to a child that has deserted him than the communication of a Sovereign to a people who were once his subjects. " Engagements," he says, " contracted by an ancient French colony, had ceased to be performed. After having convinced myself that this was owing to disability, I have consented to open with that Government a more efficacious negotiation for the interests of the colonies and commerce." The only allusion made to Spain is that the French troops had returned to their country with the esteem and regret of the Spaniards, and that a Convention had been agreed to fir the payment of the expenses of the army in the Penin- sula. Not the least mention is made of Portugal, and, what is still more surprising, the Speech is entirely silent respecting the dispute between Russia and Turkey. This silence, however, may be regarded as an instance of pru- dence, and a wish not to prejudice a question which is under discus- ion. The feeling towards England appears to be quite friendly ; and the French soldiers, it is said, in allusion to the affairs of the Morea, take pleasure in recounting the support which they have received from the English navy. The rest of the Speech is chiefly tilled with accounts of the order and peace which prevail in France, the slate of the Press, the measures judged ne- cessary for the security of religion, and the laws which are to be proposed during the Session. These relate to a new Code for the Army, a law on the endowment of the Chamber of Peers, and some municipal laws for the in ternal regulation of the country. The Revenue of 1828 has exceeded the estimates for that year; but this excess will not relax the exertions of the Executive to persevere in that economical system which the Government has been endeavouring to establish. The Speech is altogether very satisfactory. Letters have been received from Chili to the 21st of October. They speak favourably of the general slate of the country. ' The place of Minister of Finance had been given to a man of great influence, wealth, and respectability. A Bank was about to be established at St. Jago. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 24.— Nothing impor- tant has occurred in the capital, nor ha? any news of consequence been received from the provinces. With respect to the army in Bulgaria, where no actual opera- tions can be carried on. on account of the severity of the winter, it is positively known that Hussein Pacha, has gone towards Silistria, and that another part is in winter quarters in the places about, the Balkan and to- wards Adrianople. The Grand Vizier, with another division, is gone from Aidos to Schumla. The Porte seems to turn its attention to the increase of force in Asia. Several Pachas in Asia Minor have re- ceived orders to send reinforcements to Salih Pacha, Governor of Erzeroum. Newfoundland papers contain the particulars of a dreadful fire that occurred at Port de Grain, Con- ception Bay, on the 16th, which commenced in the house of a Mr. J. Jacobs. The premises were destroyed, and the unfortunate inmates, consisting of Mrs. Jacobs, her three children, and two servants, fell a sacrifice to the devouring element. Mercantile letters from Cadiz state that some petitions have been presented to Ferdinand,_ begging that Cadiz might be made a free port; and it is believed it will be granted, as it will be a death- blow to the com- merce of Gibraltar. Private letters by the Lisbon mail announce many new persecutions by the Miguelites, or rather by the partizans of the old Queen; for it seems that she lias been able to replace most of the officers appointed by her son by creatures of her own, since the failure of the late attempt at counter- revolution, and it was expected at the date of the letters that several of the most dis- tiuguished among the faithful adherents of Don Pedro would be brought to execution. A letter from Lisbon states that intelligence had been received there from the Brazils, that Lord Strangford had completely failed in his mission to the Emperor, and that a Brazilian fleet was ex peeled soon to arrive For the purpose of blockading the Tagus. We understand Sir• John Malcolm is about to return from Bombay. The dispatches to the India Company state that he was in bad health— Globe. AN over- land despatch from India brings news of a gloomy description. The state of health at Bombay is very melancholy. Two of the Judges of that Presidency, Sir E. West, Chief Justice, and Mr. Justice Chambers, are dead. Sir P. Grant is the only remaining Judge. Mr. Bridgeman, the Advocate- General, has also fallen a victim to the climate. Nor is this all— Sir Jas. Malcolm, the excellent Governor of Bombay, has had a paralytic attack, and is about to return to England. Accounts brought by the Buenos Ayrenn packet are extremely unfavorable ; the numerous arrivals of vessels in ballast had occasioned freight to be scarce, and one- half of those arrived would have to mum in ballast. The exchange had fallen to lliii. per dollar ; the news of the rupture between Columbia and Peru had arrived there; the latter power is represented to be in a wretched state, and her finances in total ruin. Mercan- tile affairs in Buenos Ayres are in a pitiable slate, parti- cularly among the native merchants, and numerous failures had taken place. MEXICO, NOV. 29.— All the exertions of Government to quell Santa Ana's rebellion have tended to show its own weakness and precarious existence. This contest is now looked upon to be of a more serious nature than was at first anticipated. Not only has General Santa Ana taken possession of the city of Oaxaca, but he has also declared that State independent of the central Government, forming a bad example for the other States of the Republic, which care but little about the Senatots and Deputies silting in Mexico. The alarm and vigilance of Government are extreme. The cress is to decide, on the 1st January, the election of the • ,;! ine- teen States for the Presidency. Internal and exter- l u It is annihilated. It is understood that Lord Seymour will shortly take up his residence at Stover, near Chudleigh, lately purchased for him by his father the Duke of Somerset. The Union Canal between Liskeard and Looe is now in full working, to the great benefit of both the public and the adventurer; this lias been effected in the course of about two years, at an expense of nearly 15,( WW. . Measures are now in progress having for their object the improvement of Alnwick Moor, contain- ing upwards of 2. MIU acres of an inclosed land, now lying in a desolate and unproductive stale. The meetings of such of the companies or freemen as have been held have unanimously resolved to promote, by every means in their power, so desirable a measure. It is reported that the Lords of the Treasury will shortly issue an order to the Postmaster- general permitting the free transmission, through the post- office, to authors residing in the country of tile proof sheets of any work in the press. Since the severe winter of 1814, the Thames and its banks inland have not presented so frosty an appearance as they did on Sunday. IMPORTATION OF GRAIN.— Foreign wheat is now admitted at a duty of Is., barley at 7s- 10d., oats at Ills. !) d., rye at 3s. lid., beans at 12s. lid., and pease at lis. The m ice of gold is higher on the Continent than in London: at Paris, 1 per cent; at Amsterdam, 1 j to IJ ; and at Hamburgh, per cent. Captain Stirling, the commander of the ex- pedition proceeding to form a new settlement on the Swan River, in New South Wales, received his final instruc- tions on Wednesday, at the Colonial Office, and after- wards left town for Portsmouth, which port Captain Stirling, with two vessels containing settlers, & c. will, it is expected, leave immediately for the purpose of pro- ceeding on the voyage. Fifty of the resident members of the Univer- sity of Oxford, distinguished by their talents and zeal for the promotion of science, have formed themselves into a Philosophical Society, to which they have given the de- signation of " The Ashmolean Society." A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Frys and Chapman took place on Wednesday, for the purpose of promoting some additional examination of the books, the bankrupts, & c. All the bankrupts were in attend- ance; and after an investigation of the debts and assets of the estate, it appeared that there would probably be a dividend of 13s. tiid. in the pound. A poor woman, who had three sons in met army, was allowed by each one shilling per week out of j their pay, and received it of an army agent. Some ob- stale stopped the allowance, and she wrote immediately to the Duke of Wellington. The obstacle was soon re- moved, and she received an immediate answer that she would, on application as usual, receive the three shillings per week out of her sons' pay, and also three shillings per week out of the pay of his Grace.— Perth Courier. THE WESTPORT MURDERS.— The infamous Burke underwent the sentence of the law on Wednesday, at Edinburgh. It appears by the following announce- ment in the Evening Courant, of Monday, that he had been at length permitted to make a full confession of all his murders to a private individual, with a view to its being given without any curtailment to the public. " Our paper of Thursday next will contain a very full account of the Execution of Burke, and of his conduct during his last moments. We will at the same time pub- lish an important document which is now in our posses- sion, namely, a full confession, or declaration, by Burke, of all the murders which he has committed, or been accessary to— the time and place where the deed was done— the names of the persons murdered— and other interesting disclosures, relative to the late crimes, never before published. This declaration is dictated, and partly written by himself; it was afterwords read by him, and corrected with his own hand ; and has his signature affixed to attest its accuracy." On Sunday night as two young men were on their return home from Taunton, about 11 o'clock, when they had reached near the three mile stone on the Bishop's Lydeard road, they met three men carrying with them a quantity of wheat; having some suspicion of . them, they attempted to detain them, and a desperate ; scuffle ensued, in which the two young men were much beaten, but they ultimately succeeded in taking the wheat from the men who made their escape. The wheat, it has been ascertained, was taken out of a granary be- longing to a farmer in the neighbourhood of the spot where they were met, which the parties had broken open, The three men are inhabitants of a neighbouring village, and are well known; and every endeavour is making for their apprehension. Destruction of Farming Property.— In conse- quence of the nightly acts of incendiaries, in the county of Essex, by which farming property to the amount of several thousand pounds has lately been destroyed, and the whole country thrown into a state of alarm, in spite of the efforts of the local Magistracy to suppress so dia- bolical a system, an application was made to Sir Richard , Birnie for the assistance of the Bow- street Police, a few ; days ago; and Bishop, one of the principal officers, was dispatched to use his exertions to bring to justice some of those who have been concerned in these atrocious outrages. It appeals that the want of employment, and the con- sequent slate of privation to which great numbers of the peasantry are reduced, have driven them to desperation. Bishop ascertained, that two corn stacks, the property of the Reverend L. Way, of Great Yeldham, had been set on fire, and the whole consumed. The Reverend gentleman resides within a mile and a half of the farm where the conflagration took place, and is highly re- spected by all persons residing in that vicinity. Pro- perty has also been destroyed at Finchfield, Maldon, Sating, and Stoke. Last week an enormous eagle was shot on the Quantock Hills, near Crowcombe: it was stated to measure 12 feet from the extremity of each wing when expanded, and stood nearly six feet high, and had killed Several sheep. The largest sheet of paper ever manufactured was made by Messrs.

A few days since Mr. Jenkins, grocer, of this place, found nine of his pigs, out of a farrow of fourteen actually frozen to death in the stye — Maidstone Journal, DEATH BY PRUSSIC ACID — On Saturday an inquest was held at the Roebuck, in the Great Dover- road, on the body of James Barfoot, a student of modi, cine, belonging to one of the Borough Hospitals, who destroyed himself by taking Prussic acid. The deceased resided with his father at II, Roebuck- terrace, aged 27• The deceased, for some years past, had been afflicted with lowness of spirits, arising, as it was supposed, from nervous irritability. A few months ago he threatened to destroy himself, and pulling out a small phial, held it up, saying, that he would swallow the contents, and adding that it would remove all unhappiness of mind, All the witnesses were of opinion that the de- ceased laboured under aberration of intellect, and the jury returned a verdict of " Insanity." On Sunday evening two dead bodies were stolen from the dead- house of St. Bartholomew's Hospi- tal, which contained six dead bodies at the lime. Ore of the bodles was that of a child who was burnt to death. ATROCIOUS MURDERS.— The following inte- resting narrative of two murders committed in England in 1758, was written by a gentleman now living in Edin- burgh, and who was on the spot at the time of Ashton's death, one of the murderers, who divulged the crime twenty years after its perpetration :— December 17th, 177( 1, Eye- dale, commonly called Ed ale, in the county of Derby. The following melancholy account was given to Mr. Hartley by Thomas Marshall and his wife :— Twenty years ago a young gentleman and lady came from Scotland, as supposed, upon a matrimonial scheme, travelling through this county, but to what place is not known ; however, they were both robbed and murdered, at a place called the Winnets or Winyards, near Castle- ton, in the county aforesaid. Their remains were found about seven years ago, by some workmen who were sinking an engine shaft at that place. James Ashton, of Castleton, who died about a fort- night ago, and was one of the murderers, lay miserably afflicted with illness, and tormented in his conscience He had been dying to all appearance for tell weeks, but could not before he confessed the fact. He said himself, Nicholas Cock, Thomas Hall. John Bradley, and Francis Butler, met the above- mentioned gentleman and lady, in the Winnets or Winyard aforesaid, polled them from their horses, and dragged them to the barn, near the Winyards, stripped them of their clothes, and took from them about two hundred pounds in money. They seized the gentleman, and cut his throat. The lady intreated them upon her knees only to spare his life, and begged, in all the agonies of distress, to be turned out naked ; but one of tile wretches took a miner's pike and drove it into her head, and she expired immediately. They left the dead bodies in the barn ( which belonged to one of the villains) for three days. When they came the first or second nights to bury them, they were so terrified with an awful noise, as they thought, that they durst not attempt to take them away ; but the third night Cock said it was only the devil, and he would not hurt them, so they took the bodies away and buried them. Ashton said she was the handsomest woman he had ever seen in his lire; his share of the money, he said, never did him any good, AS he was a coal carrier, and bought horses with it to carry coals to a cupela upon the Sheffield road, but they all died. Before they murdered the young man, the lady intreated them most piteouly not to kill him, as she hail been the cause of his coming into the country. Although justice never overtook these wretch. es in the common way, yet it pleased God that they all came to untimely ends except Ashton, the confessor. N. Cock fell from a precipice ( near where he committed the murder), and was killed; Thomas Hall hanged him- self; John Bradley was walking within a few yards of the place where the bodies were buried, and a stone fell from the hill and killed him on the spot, to the astonishment of every one that knew it; Francis Butler attempted several times to hang himself, but was pre- vented ; at last he went mad, and died a miserable death, — Caledonian Mercury. CHURCH MUSIC, And the poor BLIND MAN of SALISBURY CATHEDRAL. By the Rev. W. L. BOWLES. There is a poor BLIND MAN, who every day, In summer sunshine, or in winter's rain, Duly as tolls the bell, to the high fane, Explores, with faltering footsteps, his dark way, To kneel before his Maker, and to hear The chaunted service, pealing full and clear. Ask, why, alone, in the same spot he kneels Through the long year ? Oh! the wide world is cold, As dark, to him : Here, he no longer feels His sad bereavement— FAITH and HOPE. uphold His heart— He feels not he is poor and blind, Amid the unpitving tumult of mankind : As thro' the aisles, the choral anthems roll, His soul is in the choirs above the skies. And songs, far off, of angel- companies. Oh ! happy, if the Rich— the Vain— the Proud— The plumed Actors in Life's motley crowd,— Since pride is dust, and life itself a span,— Would learn one Lesson from a POOR BLIND MAN. Jan. 10 th, 1829.

B. to the Perpetual Curacy of West Beckham, Norfolk ; patrons, the Dean and Chapter of Norwich. We understand from good authority that the Bishop of Calcutta will return immediately to England, in consequence of ill health. We are also informed that it is his Lordship's intention to resign, finding the climate of India injurious to his constitution— Brighton HAYTORIAN COLLECTION.— We hear that the Haytorian Collection of Minerals, has lately been completed, at Exeter, as no more are to be found, the mine being exhausted of them ; and it appears that, these extraordinary and novel productions of the natural curi- osities of this Island, would have been inevitably lost to the scientific world, but for the unremitted attention of Shirley Woolmer, Esq. who for nearly two years has spared no time or expence in procuring a fine specimen of every article contained in the Haytor Iron Mine, and has amply succeeded ; his intentions being greatly for- warded by encouraging and rewarding the miners to col- lect them ; and it seems from the concurring testimonies of several mineralogists, that no museum in Europe can exhibit so curious and singular an assemblage of calcedo- nies collected from one mine; for of this beautiful min- eral, he has obtained more than five hundred varieties, and the collection contains more than a thousand choice specimens of different minerals, and presents a jewellery and splendid appearance; but it is remarkable that most of the varieties of Calcedonies recorded by Jameson, Kirwan, and others, that have been formerly collected from all parts of the Globe, were discovered concentrated in this British mine, including also in this collection up- wards of forty specimens and varieties of a new species called the Haytorite, not heretofore described in any English or foreign general treatise on mineralogy. Extract from the Farmer's Journal.— Once more we find that the Agricultural Surveys of the several Counties of England and Wales are on sale; and at such prices too, as will bring them within the reach of thou- sands with whom the original price formed an objection. The Cheap List, advertised in another column, is now lying before us, and we are justified in stating that, independently of the unquestionable and exclusive merit of the respective works, the celebrated Agricultural Sur- veys, published by authority of the Board of Agricul- ture, and of course under the superintendar. ee of Sir John Sinclair, and the late eminent Arthur Young, are now to be purchased upon such moderate terms, as to suit the convenience of every respectable farmer in the king- dom. If the late Board of Agriculture had done no other benefit but the publication of these Reports, it has ren- dered service which could not have been accomplished by any other means. Such inclement weather has not been expe- rienced for many years as during the last week. Whilst it is hailed as seasonable to the earth, to which frost at this period is essential in rendering it most productive to man's necessities, it is impossible to reflect, without pain, upon the pitiful condition to which it reduces a number of our fellow creatures, thrown out of occupation, with scanty food, and destitute of fuel. We earnestly beseech those who are blessed with superabundance to look around them, and to minister to the wants of the needy, and add their mite towards the subscriptions raising in aid of the necessities of the poor. The petitions agreed to at the numerous meetings which have been held in Cornwall against further concessions to the Papists, are every where re- ceiving an immense number of signatures, and the sanc- tion of names of the highest respectability. At Penzance, Helston, Truro, Bodmin, and elsewhere, additional skins of parchment are obliged to be added to contain them. A meeting of the inhabitants of Sherborne was held at the town hall on Friday, the Rev. J. Parsons in the chair, when it was determined that a subscription should be commenced for the purpose of providing beef soup for the poor, and for selling them coal at the reduced price of one shilling per cwt. dining the present severe weather. The subscription list is headed by the liberal donation of fifty pounds from the Earl of Digby. The first delivery was 011 Tuesday, when upwards of ItitiO pints were distributed. A traveller lately stopped at an inn, Dot 20 miles from Sturminster bridge, and enquired what he could have for supper ; but there being nothing in house but bachelor's fare ( bread, cheese, and kisses), he said he would have a Webb rabbit; the landlady replied, " they had not got one in the house, but would send up to the keeper's for one, who lived hard by." BRIDGEWATER, Jan. 27.— On Tuesday last about ISA dozen of foreign wines were seized at the Globe inn, in this town, under the 26th of Geo. III., chap. 59. The wines had a few days previously been brought from London, and housed in an unentered part of the pre- mises belonging to the above inn, where a Mr. Moses commenced selling by private contract, in quantities convenient to the circumstances of those desirous of buy- ing cheap articles. He soon found some good customers in the supervisor and his officers, who agreed to take off the whole stock, to the great disappointment and discom- fiture of those who like to oppose fair trade. Inquests held by W. Adye. Esq— At Everley, on the body of William Andrews, who, whilst driving a waggon laden with faggots through that village, slipped underneath the wheels, ( in consequence of the frost), when his head was dreadfully crushed, and he was killed in a moment. Verdict— Accidental. At Somerford Parva, on a young woman who had been an idiot from her birth. She was left a short period near a fire, and by some accident was so much burnt as only to survive a few hours. Verdict— Accidental.

On her return, the child was a corpse, although previously in perfect health The unfeeling conduct of the parents was severely com_ mented on by the Coroner and Jurors, as from the ap pearance of the child, there was every probability that it was suffocated in the bed clothes.

AT a GENERAL MEETING of the WILTS FRIENDLY SOCIETY, held at the Bear Inn, Devizes, on Tuesday the 13th instant, JOHN BENETT, Esq. M. P. in the Chair, The following Report, from the Central Committee, was read by the Honorary Secretary : " Although the anniversary in Easter week, is the period fixed by the rules of the Society for receiving an annual Report of the state of it, yet your Committee desire to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the present meeting, when the Society has been in operation about six months, and at which it is required that the accounts should be balanced, of submitting some observations upon the progress which your So- ciety has hitherto made. They are the more anxious ; to do so, because the actual number of benefitting members who have been admitted since its establish- ment is less than could have been anticipated, even by its least sanguine supporters. They wish therefore to be allowed to mention some of the circumstances which have operated in prejudice of the undertaking; and to suggest certain reasons, which, according to their judg- ment, ought to prevent the well- wishers of it from being disheartened or desponding. •". First, in estimating our progress, we should reflect that our Society is still in its earliest infancy, for it has nominally been in existence only since the end of May; and, in reality, most of the districts into which the county has been divided, can scarcely be said to have even yet commenced, for in most of them no candidates for admission have offered themselves. In truth, the principal difficulty lies in the first step: want of infor- mation, prejudice, and apprehension, prevent many from being forward in each neighbourhood to make the expe- riment of enrolling themselves, who would, without hesi- tation, join us, if others had previously set an example. The same obstacle is perceived in ail new institutions; and we may fairly claim for our Society the same for- bearar. ee in forming an unfavourable opinion of our pros- pects, which is usually conceded at the beginning of other undertakings. " We should, in the next place, take into considera- tion, that amongst the labouring classes in this county, more than two- thirds are already connected with exist- ing clubs. It is natural that such persons should regard with jealousy, an institution, which must appear to them a rival; one also which comes to the competi- tion with the unexpected, and therefore suspicious, ad- vantage of being supported by the gentry It is also natural that such persons as have contributed for many years to a parish club, should be reluctant to abandon the contingent benefits which that offers, how- ever precarious the enjoyment of them may be. Again, in the County Society, which is calculated upon cor- rect principles, the rate of contribution ascends in a graduated scale year by year; and thus it must often happen, that an individual is precluded from becoming a member by the advanced rate of payments required, precisely when at length he comes to be sensible of the insecurity of his own club, and of the excellence of the County Society— Your Committee lias also been in- formed, that several clubs hare received warnings from a body of men in London— which first met when Mr. Courtenay brought forward his bill respecting Friendly Societies— not to allow themselves to be seduced to join " the gentlemen." Upon all these, and many other points of similar character, we must be content to await the sure and satisfactory influence of time and ex- perience. These alone can fully persuade men what makes for their truest interest: nor ought we, in pru- dence, to wish for any other method of persuasion, for none other is so effectual and permanent. " Lastly, our Society has to make its way against prejudice, misapprehension, and distrust. It has been impossible to acquaint every one with the design and nature of our institution; for many necessarily can never have seen, and many more never have cared to read, the papers that have been circulated, or to listen to the instructions of persons competent to inform them. It is also well known, how generally a supposition is entertained and inculcated, that those gentlemen who have generously co- operated in the establishment of our Friendly Society, have keen actuated by motives of self, interest: that they have contributed largely to its funds in the hope that their outlay will he abundantly repaid by a reduction of the poor- rates. There is one answer to this general erroneous impression, so complete and plain, that your Committee beg" to mention it now, however often it may have been repeated, or however obvious it may be. It is, that whatever objection of this kind lies against the County Society, lies with equal truth and force against all Parish Clubs. Does our Society enable its members, from the fruits of their savings, to live indepen- dently in old age? so do Parish Clubs: the principle in- deed is the same, the difference consists in the method of effecting this. Are men able and do they think it ad- visable to contribute to the one ? they will be equally able, and will find a greater interest in joining the other. What a load of daily misery would be alienated or re- moved ; how many spirit- breaking falls from comforts and independence, to poverty and despondency, would be prevented ; if, in each family throughout this county, one member at least had secured in our Society a provi- sion against sickness, old age, and death. " Whoever will seriously reflect how important and comprehensive the benefits of our Society might become, will not surely be deterred from continuing to support it, because it meets at its outset with obstacles, that might reasonably have been looked for beforehand. It seems only requisite that we should advance steadily in order to overcome them ; not doubting but that, as our rules arc belter arranged, and our tables more correctly calculated, than those of any club in the county, so we cannot fail of securing eventually the confidence of those classes, whose real advantage is the single object which we have in view. " As an additional proof of the correctness and security of our tables, your Committee has very great satisfaction in laying before you an opinion given by Mr. Davies, one of the eminent Actuaries lately examined before the House of Commons; and whose approval is the more valuable, because that gentleman, in conjunction with Mr. Finlaison, presented to the House calculations con- siderably higher than those of Mr. Becher, who drew the tables which our Society adopted. Guardian Assurance Office, Dec. 2d, 1828. " ' Having attentively examined the tables of contri- butions of the Wiltshire Friendly Society, I beg to slate, that for a healthy agricultural county, I should not doubt the sufficiency of the contributions for sickness and re- versionary payments; but I have no hesitation in stating that the rates for deferred annuities are under present cir- cumstances materially too low. They are in fact no other than those deduced by the Rev. Mr. Becher from the Northampton table, on the supposition that money bears an interest of three and a half per cent. At the time Mr. Becher calculated these tables, the rate of interest allowed to Friendly Societies was rather more than four and a half per cent., and in order to counteract the excess of mortality represented by the Northampton table, he reduced the rate of interest involved in his calculation from J.} to 8} per cent. "' On looking at the long list of respectable names by ! which the Society is patronised, and observing by the 2fith article in page lit, that it is proposed to institute a general investigation of the Society's affairs at the end of five years, I must confess that I am at a loss whether it would be most advisable now to hazard a discord among the supporters of so valuable an institution, by proposing to raise the terms, or to let it go on for five years, under the expectation that the honorary subscriptions may af- ford some surplus beyond the expence of management, and that some estimate may then be made of the advan- tage accruing to the Society from the forfeited contribu- tions of seceding members. " 1 If the Society was enrolled previous to the passing of the last Savings Bank Act, so that it may be entitled to the higher rate of interest, ( 3d. per day), my observations on the insufficiency of the rates may be considered nuga- tory. But if It cannot improve its money at about per cent. I do think, notwithstanding the wholesome regu- lation alluded to, it behoves the managers to pause be- fore they grant any further annuities than those included in table' 1. ( Signed) ' GRIFFITH DAVIES." " Your Committee beg to remark on the above docu- ment, that as the Wilts Friendly Society was enrolled previous to the passing of the late Savings Bank Act, namely in last April, it is entitled to and actually obtains the higher rate of interest, mentioned by Mr. Davies; that is 3d. per day, or rather more than per cent, per per annum. The objection, therefore, to granting fur- ther annuities, as Mr. Davies himself observes, is thereby rendered nugatory : and consequently the opinion given by that gentleman must be regarded as most satisfactory and decisive, upon the security and sufficiency of ALL the tables adopted by our Society." The following Statement of the Accounts fur the year 1828, was then laid before Ihe Meeting and approved. DR. THE TREASURERS. Donations of Honorary . Mem- bers, received £!!

WINCHESTER, Jan. 27, J829. 15948 CUFE'S FARMER'S FRIEND, is an almost infallible Cure for those most destructive diseases the Scour or Looseness in Lambs, Sheep, Calves, Cows, and Horses; or the Fret, Colic, or Gripes in Horses. It was discovered and brought to perfection about five years since, by Mr. J. H. CUFF, who having found it so extremely useful in saving a great number of Lambs, as well as Sheep and other Cattle for himself and others, was induced last year, by the earnest desire of many who had also expeaienced its good effects, to offer it to a small portion of the Public ; and from the aston- ishing number of Cattle saved by its use in the counties of Hants, Wilts, and Berks, and the hundreds of most respectable attestations and thanks Mr. Cuff has received, he finds himself called upon to extend its utility as far as his opportunities will allow, Amongst those who acknowledge it to be an invaluable Medicine, and far exceeding any thing they ever before met with, are the following— who are such extensive, celebrated, and well- known agriculturists, that none can doubt their testimony, or the general usefulness of the Medicine:— Mr. T. Saunders, near Whitchurch, Hants; Mr. R. Osmond, ditto; Mr. H. Pain, near Winchester, Hants; Mr. H. Bull, near Andover, Hants; Mr. H. Mundy, ditto; Mr. W. Blatch, near Salisbury. Wilts ; Mr. J. Mills, Tidworth, Wilts; Mr. T. Harrison, Hin- don, Wilts; Mr. J. Tanner, near Newbury, Berks; Mr. T. Lanfier. Hungerford, Berks; Mr. W. Osmond, ditto; Peter Green. Esq. Houghton. For those few it has saved not only lambs, sheep, and calves from death, by scouting— but ewes, on which heaving or mortification was fast approaching; also cows, when complete scourers or hitters: and horses, in despe- rate cases of fret or gripes:— and they, with many others, declare it now almost a farmer's own fault if he loses any tattle in any of the said diseases ; and that it is so gene- rally useful, that no fanner ought at any time to be without it. It has also been fully proved to be the best possible medicine to remove a cold or cough from a horse — to prepare and get him fit for work after grass— or to restore a good appetite, so essentially necessary to enable him to stand work. CUFF'S LAME HORSES' FRIEND is an inva- luable Ointment, offered to the public in consequence of Mr Cuff seeing so many horses working in pain and misery, and being certain, from upwards of 20 years' extensive experience, that in most cases the lameness and unpleasantness arising from grease, scratches, thrush, canker, quittors, corns, Hollanders, and salanders, may be cured by half- a- crown's worth of the same. It is also an effectual remedy for the mange, or lice, in horses; and the best possible application to galled or sore shoulders ; and a sure and certain cure for weybreds or warts, on horse. 9 or cows; or the mange, scab, and foot- rot in sheep ; or the mange in hogs or dogs.

Their Composition is truly excellent, as they do not contain any Antimonial or Mercurial Preparation whatever, and therefore when taken do not require the the least confinement or alteration of diet, ( moderate ex- ercise promotes their good effects,) they seldom operate until ten or twelve hours after taken and then very gently ; they destroy worms, purify the humours, and evacuate all foul corruptions to which the intestines are so liable, whereby so many diseases are produced; never gripe unless the inside be very foul, and then but little ; by re- moving obstructions they cause the food to pass to its respective parts, becoming a good restorative and pre- servative of health to both sexes, and to those of a costive habit a truly valuable treasure.

HIS Majesty this day opened the Ses- sion of the Chambers in the Louvre. The King, when seated on the Throne, on his right was the Dauphin, and on his left the Duke of Orleans; in advance of the left of the King was the Vice- Chan- cellor of France. Prince Talleyrand was at the foot of the Throne, in the place of Grand Chamberlain of France; to die left and right of the Throne were the Ministers and Secretaries of State. , , . When the King had finished his Speech, the impression it made was beyond description, and was followed by great acclamations. The same enthusiasm which pre- vailed when the King entered the Peers, was expressed at his departure. BUCAREST. Jan. 1 The news seems tn be confirmed that the Turks passed the Danube at Turno. and re- pulsed a small division of Russian infantry. It has been reported for some days that the enemy intended to attempt the passage with a considerable force, but the want of sustenance and the condition of the roads render such an attempt next tn impossible The garrison of Silistria, however, has been much in- creased within these three months ; that of Giurgeyo has been reinforced by MOO men, and that of Widden by 4,000. London. FRIDAY, JANUARY 30. Yesterday being the ninth anniversary of his Majesty's Accession to the Throne, the flags of the Tower, Royal Exchange, Somerset House, will other places, were hoisted; and at one o'clock the Park and Tower guns were fired. His Majesty continues in excellent health and spirits, amusing himself daily with exercise in the corridor of Windsor Castle, and in directing the final arrangement of his pictures, busts, sculptures, and arti- cles of virtu. The Lords of the Admiralty have transmitted orders to the Admirals of Plymouth and Cork, to send out any vessels which may lie disposable to the chops of the channel, to afford supplies to the trade which may be kept out by the easterly winds. A marble statue of his Majesty, by Behnes, is in a state of great forwardness. The statue, when finished, will be placed in a gallery now erecting by the Royal Society in Dublin. Prince Lieven, the Russian Ambassador, accompanied by Count Mutascorvitz ( who arrived on Monday night bv a special mission from the Emperor of Russia), waited on the Duke of Wellington on Wed- nesday morning, at twelve o'clock., at the Treasury, and bad a long interview with his Grace. After visiting the Duke of Wellington, the Prince and the Count pro- ceeded to the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and had a conference with the Earl of Aberdeen, with whom they remained till half- past two o'clock. The Earl of Aberdeen had afterwards an interview with the Duke of Wellington. The funds have been progressively getting up the last few days, and more so yesterday.

On Saturday morning last, about 4 o'clock, the Duke of Northumberland, who was proceeding to Alnwick Castle in his chariot and post- horses, met with a serious accident. On arriving near Ferrybridge, the postboys mistook the road, owing to the snow on the ground, and the chariot was upset, containing the Duke and his valet. His Grace happily received only a slight hurt on his shoulder, and was enabled, after a short delay, to proceed on his journey. Archdeacon Singleton, who accompanies the Duke of Northumberland to Ireland as private Secretary, is the son of the late Governor Singleton, o Landguard Fort. The Rev. Gentleman attended the Duke of Northumberland in the same capacity of private Secretary on his Grace's special embassy to Paris. , The French and German papers state that j the greatest activity was making by the Turkish Govern- ment to complete the defensive army, and that conside- rable reinforcements of troops had arrived ill tile for- tresses on the Danube.

Dr. Gardiner, of the Octagon, Bath,) were ordained Deacons at the Abbey Church, by the Bight Rev. the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells. A general meeting of Spits I fields silk weavers is to be held on Tuesday next, for the purpose of memo rializing the Duke of Wellington to adopt some measures to save them from utter ruin, in consequence of the great depression of trade by the introduction of Foreign Silks. The memorial is to be signed by the great body of the trade presenting it to his Grace in person. It is calculated that at least 12,00!) will accompany tile deputation. A numerous and respectable meeting was held at Liverpool on Wednesday, to consider the subject of opening the trade to the East Indies. Some of the most influential merchants of Liverpool spoke upon the occa- sion, and it was unanimously resolved, tv That the open, ing of a free trade to China, and the removal of the restrictions which impede the commerce between this country am! India, would be productive of incalculable benefits, both to this kingdom and to the British terri- tories in the East Indies. * That the extent of these bene- fits may be estimated from the fact, that since IB 14, the period when tire present limited and partial intercourse • with India was permitted, the commerce, in many staple commodities, has increased beyond the the most sanguine expectation, while new sources of profitable interchange offer themselves to British skill and enterprise." Chamber of Commerce, Bristol— The annual meeting of this association was held on Monday, when a conversation ensued on the subject of the trade to India, and on the expected visit of Mr. Buckingham. It ap- peared to be the general wish of the company that Mr. Buckingham should have every facility and encourage- ment afforded liini for the delivery of his lectures at Bristol, The Devon county Anti- Catholic Petition Continues to receive in every district numerous signatures.

THE BURNING CLIFF AT HOLWORTH.— A person who lately visited this cliff states as follows:— " On a recent visit 1 perceived a vast mass of surface slid down, occasioned by the lite violent gales of wind co- operating with the spring tides against the base of the cliff, which so completely shook it as to bring down an extraordinary quantity of the superincumbent soil, ex- tending over a -- pace not less than sixty feet square, when a large body of fire became exposed, and for two or three davs presented all those striking features which have been so frequently detailed. Tile fire has now retreated, but the exhalation of noxious vapour continues very profuse." SATURDAY. JANUARY 31.

CHILD MURDFR On Sunday last, about 12 o'clock at noon, the body of a new born male infant was discovered lying on t'- i siiore under the platform in this town, and information of the circumstances being given to the mayor, an inquest was held on Monday by G. R, Corfe, Esq. coroner, and a respectable jury, at tile Royal George Inn. The only evidence adduced was the finding of the body; and Mr. Jos. Stace, surgeon, who minutely examined it, deposed to the following effect: About half past 12 o'clock yesterday I was re- quested to look at the body of u child which I was in- formed was just picked up, and at the request of the coroner I this day examined the body, and found one I external mark of violence on the left side of the neck ; I examined the l; ead, and found the summit fractured, and a considerable effusion of blood on the brain ; I examined the chest and abdomen, the contents of which were all healthy ; I consider that the mark of violence on the neck was sufficient to cause the death of the infant by strangulation, and the injury on the head would also cause its death ; from the whole of the appearances, re- salting from my examination, I consider the child was burn alive. This being the only evidence brought before the court, the coroner shortly addressed the jury on the law of the case, when they unanimously returned a ver- dict of " wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." There has as yet been no clue to tile dis cover of the wretched mother, or any of the parties concerned in this shocking transaction. Thursday was married at All Saints Church, Thos.

Our Theatre opened a few evenings since with considerable eclat, and the established favourites of last season were received with a hearty welcome. Of the new performers generally we can speak in the most favorable terms ; but we cannot help particularly noticing a Mrs. W. Sennett, who will, we have no doubt, prove i a decided favourite on our boards. A most attractive bill ! of fare is announced for Monday, viz. Rossini's popular Opera of the Barber of Seville, and the Pirate of Genoa ; in both of which will appear Mr, G. Penson, who is engaged for a few nights. It will be remembered by our readers that it was in the latter of these pieces that Mr, G. Penson made so complete a hit as to draw numerous crowded audiences in the metropolis. The Members for lite borough of Devizes have liberally contributed 30/. each towards a fund for the benefit of the poor of that town ; Mr. Estcourt has contributed 20/., and Mr. T. H. S. Estcourt, 10/. for the same charitable purpose; and several benevolent indi- viduals have gone from house to house, throughout the borough, soliciting subscriptions. The Mayor heads the subscription list with a donation of 10/. On Thursday evening, at p concert of vocal and instrumental music at Market Lavington, Mr. Woulds, front Bath, in a variety of comic songs, con- tributed greatly to the amusement of a most " espectaole company of about 140 persons. Mr. Anderson sang with much effect, " Love, good Night;" and Messrs. Biddlecombe, Dyer, Godwin, and Ball, from Salisbury, in an excellent selection of songs, duetts, and glees, were much admired. Master Evans, of Warminster, displayed considerable taste and execution in a fantasia on the piano forte; and the instrumental music, under the di- rection of Mr. W. Tucker, gave general satisfaciion. We hear that the profits of the evening are to be given to the widow of Mr. William Small, whose exertions for the promotion of harmony, the amateurs of Lavington, & c. hold in grateful remembrance. The last Shaftesbury town and county ball for the season was held at the Grosvenor Arms Inn, in that town on Friday the 2! lth ult. and was more nume- rously and fashionably attended than on any previous oc- casion.

The dinner w « v servi 1 r i " n Mr. Edwards' best style, ami the des- sert • a3C(.- i iosed of pints and a great variety of other fruits, the vii e3 gave universal satisfaction. The landlords fro- n Overton, Andover, Salisbury. Blandford, Warwinster, and other towns, honoured Mr. Edwards with their presence, together with upwards of 00 of the respectable inhabitants of Shaftesbury ard its vicinity. The inhabitants of Dorchester, during tlm inclement weather which has lately prevailed, have made a subscription in favour of tile poor, which has enabled them to furnish many poor families with coal at a very reduced price. BLANDFORD, Jan. 27.— The ball at our as- sembly rooms was well atteuded on Tuesday last, and dancing was kept up with great spirit until seven o'clock the following morning. Great praise is due to the worthy stewards for their exertions on the occasion. MERE.— It is an established opinion among geologists, that Coal is an alluvial deposit of vegetable origin ; and that the coombes, or channels, and hollows in hills, were worn out by the waters in their descent to the low lands, where they made those deposits, in retiring to the sea. From this view of the subject, it seems vciy probable that coals exist under some parts of the plain to the south and. south- west of Mere, which bears the same relation to the Mere Down as the Coal District of Nail- sea- Heath, in Somerset, docs to the Wraxall hills. The existence- of Bivalva and other Marine Fossils about Mere, clearly prove a remote connexion with the sea. There are some very deep coombes or channels at Pen, near Mere, and the sandstone of that parish abounds in shells. It is very likely that Coal may be found near that place.
