IT is with extreme displeasure that our Government has learned that the Holy Father has " appointed Bishops in America, as he recognises by this act the independence of the new States. The Pope has made a selection of Bishops for South America, and filled Stlie Bishoprics of Guamanga, Truxillo, and La Pas. TOULON, Jan. 22 It is said that several regiments '• which are returning from the Morea have received orders ' to form themselves again on the war establishment, and to complete their battalions. PETERSBURG, Dec. 18 In the hospitals of Odessa, and in temporary huts constructed for chapels, there are about 11,000 individuals afflicted with a malady which " they call the Moldavian fever. The constant rains which have drenched the alkaline lands in the neighbourhood of that city have also caused a distemper among the horses, whose hoofs fall off' quite rotten, and a great many of them were obliged to be killed. The fine Rus- sian cavalry, too, is almost dismounted; neither have the artillery horses. The materiel of the army obliged to be burnt or buried during the late ' retreat is incal- culable. But, on the other hand, the interior provinces of Russia have great resources. At this moment recruits are being embodied, at the rate of 4 out of every 800 men ; anil preparations are making throughout the em- pire without noise, but with an activity and energy hitherto unknown. London, MONDAY. FEBRUARY 2. The Cabinet Ministers proceeded to Windsor Castle this morning to submit for his Majesty's approba- tion the Speech to be delivered at the opening of the Session. It is not expected that his Majesty will come to town this week; the Session of Parliament, therefore, will be opened by Commission. The Duke of Northumberland will return from Alnwick Castle on Thursday next— will kiss hands probably on the following day, and immediately take his departure for Dublin. It is understood that the Marquis of Anglesey will take an early opportunity of delivering, in the House of Lords, his sentiments upon the recent events that have taken place in Ireland. WINDSOR, Sunday— This afternoon, at half- past two o'clock, the Marquis of Anglesey, accompanied by Lord Mountcharles, arrived at the Castle. Immedi- ately xm their arrival the Noble Marquis was introduaed to his Majesty, with whom he had a long audience; after which his Lordship, with Lord Mountcharles, par- took of some refreshment, and left the Castle on their re- turn to town. The Marquis of Anglesey arrived in town on Friday. Letters from St. Petersburg state that an order has been issued by the Emperor of Russia for the number of troops to be raised to, and maintained at, 700,000, which is an additioncof more than 210,000 to the army of last year. The young Queen of Portugal has been con- fined to her apartments, at her residence at Laleham, during " the past week, by a severe cold. The Marchioness de Palmella has been several times to Laleham to in- quire after the health of her Majesty. The Chamber of Deputies at Paris has been entirely occupied as yet in preliminary arrangements for the business of the Session, and no question of the least interest has arisen. The Turks seem resolved to allow the Rus- sians no rest in their winter quarters. Not less than SO, 000 of them are stated to have already passed the Danube at different points. Part of the French troops have arrived at Marseilles from the Morea. A report prevails of a Congress to be held at Warsaw, at which all the European Powers will take part. According to the Paris journals of Friday, M. Jaubert, the French Agent charged with presenting to the Porte the Declaration of the Three Powers re- specting the independence of the Morea and the Cyclades, had had a conference with the Reis Effendi, the result of which would be the return of the Allied Ambassadors to Constantinople. Accounts were received Saturday from Ter- ceira, stating the arrival of the first division of the Por- tuguese refugees at that island. The foreign papers received this morning all agree in representing the winter in every part of the Con- tinent as most severe. At Berlin the cold was 20i de- grees under the freezing point, and in the interior of Russia, from 25 to 30. NAPLES, Jan. 4.— For some days we have had severe cold, with north winds. The summits of Vesuvius and of all the neighbouring mountains are covered with snow. Till now we have had no signs of winter. Jan. 6 The mouth which opened on Vesuvius some time ago, having again become enlarged, emits stones; and, from the mass of bituminous substances before thrown out of the volcano itself, liquid fire now issues. Accounts are received from Gibraltar of the 12th ult. The Lieutenant- Governor, General Don, had announced by Proclamation, under that date, the com- plete termination of the epidemic fever, and set apart the 16th as devoted to thanks to the Almighty, for his beneficent intervention in delivering them from such a heavy and dreadful visitation. On the 17th all the Courts of Justice were to be opened as usual, and clear bills of health granted from the port. The victims of the infection at Gibraltar have been 1618 persons. In the fever of the year 1804, there were 5500 deaths. The disease is ascertained to be the same as visited the garrison in 1804, 1810, and 1813. Of < 1000 who had passed the fever at former periods, not one has been a second time attacked this season. It is. be- lieved to bo an exotic of some kind, but of what descrip- tion is not yet ascertained ; the nearest approach to it is the black vomit of the East Indies. A medical report on the subject is immediately expected. Accounts from Bogota state, that the sen- tence of death pronounced by a Court Martial against Santander, and afterwards submitted to a Council of Ministers, had been commuted by Bolivar into perpetual banishment from the territory of the Republic, and the loss of rank. At the last meeting of the Catholic Associa- tion in Dublin, Mr. O'Connell gave notice, that he would shortly bring forward a motion, " That as by the their late resolution the English Catholics have cut all ties of connexion with us, and therefore rendered it im- possible for us to continue in conjunction with their asso- ciation, Mr. Macdonnell be requested to hold no further communication with that body." ( Loud cheers.) Mr. O'Connell thus noticed the pecuniary assistance which the association had received from the United States:— The friends of the Association ( said he) are spreading all over the Continent of America. In every State and town of that mighty Republic an association is organizing. I have been informed that in the month of October there was subscribed in Charleston above 800 dollars, and which we may expect by the next vessel from America—( Cheers.) We have already received large remittances from that Continent, and it cannot but be delighful to us to see freemen thus tendering us their sympathy, and giving to us the sinews of war— affording to us the means of carrying on the war, which will be the only one we shall ever wage— a constitutional, a peace- able, and a legal, but an interminable war against the oppressors of our country—( Cheers); a war that shall be continued long as oppression shall last, and can only be put an end to by an equalization of civil rights ( Hear.) America ranks high as a nation— England was her op- pressor— the foreign hand of oppression was stretched across the Atlantic to crush down the sons of America. They defended themselves against the blow which would have prostrated them to the earth ; though they were at- tached, as we arc, to British laws and British connection, still England forced them to break that connection— rely- ing upon her powers and confident in her strength, En- gland made the experiment, and America became free. —( Cheers.) The Dublin Corporation have voted the free- dom of that city to Earl Winchclsea for his Anti- Catholic exertions at the late Kent meeting. The British Institution opens to- day. The modern works of art are various, and many of the pro- ductions are of first- rate excellence. DREADFUL FIRE.— The bouse of Mr. Cooke, tobacconist, Drury- lane, was burnt down on Saturday, a'mut twelve o'clock, involving two infants in the flames. Tile mother, named Perkins, lodged in an upper room, and going to market, locked her door, leaving her chil- dren and some clothes drying before the fire. It is pre- sumed, for there is no certainty, that the children threw the clothes down ; for smoke was seen issuing from tile window. A neighbour broke open the door, but found the room enveloped in flames and smoke, and not know- ing the children were there, made his escape. The en- gines, with the firemen's exertions, prevented the flames extending beyond the premises, which were entirely con- sumed. The bodies of the two infants, one three years and the other 1( 1 months old, were dug out of the ruins. The mother's feelings cannot be described: she was far advanced in pregnancy, and on being tiken to a neigh- bour's was prematurely delivered, and remains in a pre- carious state. During the first ten days of January, thirteen cargoes of corn passed the Sound, of which twelve were hound to British ports, and one to Norway. CORN- EXCHANGE, Monday, Feb. 2— The supply, of Grain in general last week was but moderate, both from our own coast and foreign. This morning, also, the ar- rival of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, was but small; the Mealing Trade, on the whole, is quite as good as last week, and good parcels met a ready sale on last week's terms; but there was not so much business doing as expected, as many of the country dealers were pre- vented buying, from the inland navigation being impeded. Barley is exceedingly dull in sale, and cheaper. Beans barely support last week's prices. The Oat trade is steady, at last week's prices.

SIR,— I have analyzed your Groats and Ba ,' ey Pow- der; which you, having His Majesty's Letters Patent for the sole Manufacturing of tho same, properly dene- minate, " PATENT BARLEY and PATENT GROATS." I have no hesitation in declaring them to be genuine Powders of the finest Barley and Oats I ever saw. I consider it a public advantage, and of great importancc in the medical world, that, by your mode of preparation, a valuable, fine, mucilaginous beverage and food may be obtained in a few minutes.

CAUTION.— The Public are respect- fully cautioned against the numerous counterfeits of the above article: some of them say ATKINS instead of ATKINSON, others WILLIAM, THOMAS, & C, in- stead of JAMES ; and being generally got up for cheap- ness are mostly rancid fats mixed witli pungent essential oils, and are very deleterious. The genuine may be dis- tinguished from the counterfeits by attending to the fol- lowing particulars. The counterfeits have a printed label 011 the top of the pot; the Genuine is not printed but engraved on the pot, and burnt in like all other delph or china ware when the pot is made. It is a Bear witli the words " Atkinson's Bears' Grease for the Hair.' The Genuine has also a small address label pasted on the edge of the pot, with the words ' Atkinson, 44, Gerrard- street, London,' this is in a circle, and murli resembles a stamp, and is very difficult to imitate. At- kinson's Bears' Grease is now well known for promoting the growth of the Hair. It is warranted Genuine with- out any admixture, except a little perfume to keep it sweet; and, independent of regenerating the Hair, it is very pleasant for dressing it, making it beautifully soft and glossy.

WINDSOR, Tuesday.— This forenoon, after breakfast, the following distinguished Members of the Cabinet Council, who yesterday hud the honour of dining and passing the evening with the King, had each a pri- vate audience of his Majesty, when they took leave, and left the Castle on their return to town:— The Duke of Wellington, Earl Bathurst, Earl of Aberdeen, the Lord Chancellor, and Mr. Peel. His Majesty enjoys excellent health. A Cabinet Council, which was attended by the Duke of Wellington, the Lord Chancellor, Earls Bathurst and Aberdeen, Lord Ellenborough, Mr, Pael, Viscount Melville, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir George Murray, Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, and Mr. Merries, assembled yesterday at half- past three o'clock at the Foreign Office. His Majesty held a Court at three o'clock on Monday afternoon, at his Palace at Windsor, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President of the Council, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Secre- taries of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial De- partments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the President of the Board of Controul, the President of the Board of Trade, the Master of the Mint, the Lord Steward, and the Trea- surer of the Household. Lord Ellenborough had an audience of his Majesty, and delivered the seal of office as Lord Privy Seal. His Majesty held a Privy Council, at which the King's Speech, on opening the Session of Parliament, on Thurs- day next, was finally arranged and agreed upon. Mr, Buller attended as Clerk to the Council. The King gave audiences to the Duke of Wellington, Earl Bathurst, Mr. Peel, and Earl of Aberdeen. After the breakidg up of the Court several of the Ministers remained at the Palace to dine with his Majesty The Gazette of this evening announces the appointment of the Duke of Northumberland to be Lieu tenant- General of Ireland. The most pressing circulars are said to have been sent from the Treasury, urging the Ministerial Members to be in their places on the first day of the session. A grand annual dinner was given By Earl Bathurst, as Lord President of the Council, yesterday evening, at his residence in Cumberland- street, to the Cabinet Ministers, the Great Officers of State, and other official Gentlemen, when the nominated list of Sheriffs for England and Wales, for the present year, was ar- ranged, previous to their being pricked for by the King in Council. The Duke of Wellington and Mr. Peel will give dinners to- day to the Members of both Houses, at which the Speech to be delivered to- morrow by his Ma- jesty's Commissioners will be read. It is universally believed in the city, that the Duke of Wellington has decided to put the Papists upon the same footing in political matters as the Protestant Dissenters. It is also thought . that the majority of the ! Bishops have acquiesced in the measure— Atom. Herald The Paris papers of Saturday contain a re- port from Vienna, that disnatches were received from Constantinople relative to Notes which had been pre- sented to the Reis Effendi by the Austrain Minister, recommending it to the Porte to listen to the favourable propositions of Austria, France, and England, to make peace with Russia. It is added, that the contents of these dispatches do not destroy all hopes of peace. Accounts from Gibraltar state that a corres- pondence had taken place between General Don and the Spanish Authorities, relative to the opening of the com- munication with the adjacent territory. So great was the alarm occasioned by the fever, that the Spanish Govern- ment had determined, in order to prevent infection, not to allow any intercourse with Gibraltar until the weather should have become much cooler; but the Governor of Algesiras had notified that he would allow communica- tion after the 16th, when clean Bills of Health would be issued. The letters from Cadiz mention that that city continued in a very healthy state, and the deaths much less numerous than usual. Letters from Valencia announce that fre- quent encounters take place between the King's troops and the bands of malefactors who infest that province. Of the latter, several have been taken and immediately shot. In Arragon a number of convicts, on their way to the galleys, recently made their escape, and after pro- curing arms, went out on the high loads, where they rob every traveller they meet.— Paris paper. Letters from Odessa of the 8th ult. bring advices from Constantinople to the beginning of the month, received by ships recently arrived from that capital. No change was yet understood to have been effected by Monsieur Jaubert's mission in the councils of the Porte. But the Russian Government is said to have openly avowed a wish of pacification with the Turks, even with a considerable modification of tile conditions originally proposed and insisted upon. PARIS, Feb. 1.— It is affirmed that a loan of twenty- five millions lias just been contracted by the Por- tuguese Government with a banking- house at Paris. This loan, it is said, will be repaid by means of annuities, and will be secured upon one of the branches of the public, revenue of that kingdom. The produce of the tax allotted to this payment is to he paid into the hands of the contractors or their agent at Lisbon. It is thought that the farm of tobacco, or that of the wine of Oporto, will he selected for this purpose, so that the contractor would be paid, in this manner, " not by the Treasury, but by the farmer of the tax assigned for this purpose. If we are well informed, this loan, to be repaid in twenty- five annuities, lias been contracted for at the rate of fit) per cent— Gazette de France. PORTUGAL.— In 1828, the commencement of the Revolution in this country produced such derange ment in the finances, that pot one- fifth of the annual re- venue was collected. A sort of wild clerical subscription was proposed, which brought in nothing but forced offer- ings, and those in old claims, bad bonds, & c. The Bank of Lisbon having stopped payment, and commerce being ruined, the Treasury subsists now principally on the plunder of the opponents of Don Miguel. This plunder must be repaid, if the Constitution be again established : the consequence of which will be, that if to the existing debt of Portugal, amounting, in January 182ft, to eight millions, be added the deficit of 1828, estimated at a mil- lion and a half, and the plunder, estimated at a million and a half, will leave Portugal indebted eleven millions sterling. The misery of the people will have reduced the resources of Portugal, and the revenue must in future be expected to amount to not more than one- half of the former; the result of which will be, that Portugal will be indebted 22 times the amount of her annual income. LISBON, Jan. 24.— The health of Don Miguel is still precarious. He continues still at Queluz. Report stated, in the beginning of the week, that he was ill of an aneurism, from which his final recovery was very doubtful. With respect to his labouring under such an infliction nothing certain can be publicly known ; but it is positively certain that he has long laboured under the malady called " taenia," which is here considered as the cause of a lingering death. The old Queen, his mother, has also been seriously ill this week, leaving suffered an attack of her old liver complaint. There were lists handed about, on Monday and Tuesday, of persons appointed to the Ministry, which change has not yet been effected. Some private letters of the 25th tilt, from Lisbon state, that although Don Miguel had nearly re- covered his bodily health, his mental capacity was rapidly declining. Rumours to that effect were circu- lated among the people, and the industry with which it was done, as well as the quarter from which they pro- ceeded, led his friends to suspect that his Mother had caused them to be spread, in order to attain the Re- gency, and ground its necessity on the inability of her son to govern. A Ministry favourable to her plans was even talked of, and its members were publicly named, but no decided step had yet been taken to carry this fresh revolution into effect. The Lisbon Gazettes contain a notice from the Government, threatening with heavy penalties all person, exporting horses or mules; under the impression that the enemies of Don Miguel are doing so with a view of diminishing the internal force of the kingdom ! Baron Dimsdale, for his inoculation of the Empress of Russia and her son, was made a Baron of the Empire, with a present of 12,0001. and a pension of £ 001. per annum. THE CATHOLIC. ASSOCIATION.—( From the Courier.)—" We hope, and indeed think, that this fire- brand of agitation will soon be extinguished. Nothing less will satisfy the people of this country than putting down the Catholic Association— The peace of Ireland requires it— it must he put down .' We trust, too, that some measure will be adopted with respect to those per- sons miscalled freeholders— the forty- shilling freeholders. Upon this subject a petition is to be presented to Parlia- ment, from the Protestant Noblemen, Gentlemen, and Clergy of the county of Clare, praying that the minimum of the elective franchise in that county should not be fixed at a less sum than 501. except in cases of simple estate, or freehold in perpetuity— The putting down the Association, and the extinction of the forty- shilling free- hold system, will be more effectual in tranquillizing Ire- land than almost any other measure that could be de- vised." The Corporation of Dublin have resolved— " That, in order to mark in the strongest manner their sense of gratitude for the appointment of the Duke of Northumberland as Viceroy, he should be received in the same manner as our august Sovereign on his visit to this country." The Crown Lawyers, it is said, are unani mous in their opinion that there is no ground whatever to doubt Mr. O'Connell's ineligibility to take his seat; Mr. Sugden, in particular, is reported to have taken a learned and particularly luminous view of the subject, which leaves no doubt in the minds of those to whom it has been submitted. There are said to have been within the last few days some extraordinary movements among the lower Irish, which have attracted the attention of the police. Extract of a private letter received from Dublin, dated on Sunday last :— " Notwithstanding all that is said in public journals of the departure of one Lord Lieutenant, and the approach- ing arrival of another, the ordinary business of life goes on, as uninfluenced by either, as if the name of Lord Lieutenant had never been heard of. Judging from ex- ternal appearances, trade is as brisk as ever— the shops are as full of bustle— as many equipages roll about— the people look as cheerful, and as little disposed to gloom, as if such an office as that of Viceroy had never existed. This shows how easily imaginary grievances are assumed as facts, and exaggerated by party feeling. By the de- parture of the Marquis of Anglesey we were told, the trade of the country, and particularly of this city, would have been injured, and the peace of the country sacrificed; yet neither of these gloomy anticipations has been realised. If the Legislature should at any time, in its wisdom, re- solve to abolish the office of Lord Lieutenant, and thus save the country an expenditure of 30,0002. or 40,000/. a year, I have no doubt that the inhabitants of Dublin would become reconciled to the measure before the end of six months. The attempt to form a union between the liberal Protestants and the Catholics has been alto- gether a failure. The Catholic Association continues to exist under its old title, and the Protestants are about to form another, under the title of the " Society of the Friends of Civil and Religious Liberty." This has been a cause of considerable dissappointment to the leading Catholics, who, apprehending that the Associ- ation may be put down, were impressed with the belief that the difficulties of its suppression would be increased tenfold if they had the accession of wealth and rank which the union of the Protestants with them would have fur- nished. •>. " There is a great deal or conversation here about the cavalier way in which the Duke of Wellington treated the Duke of Leinster, in a reply to the Duke's letter, . transmitting the declaration of several thousand Pro- testants respecting Emancipation. The Duke of Welling- ton's letter was as follows:—" My dear Duke, I re- ceived your letter, and also a tin case, containing the declaration of certain Protestants, about what thru call Emancipation." The Duke of Leinster is much blamed for not showing some spirit on this occasion. There is a general cry against him for having tamely submitted to such a letter, and not written on the instant an indignant rejoinder, and then published the whole correspondence. " Mr. O'Connell is hard at work, preparing himself for his Parliamentary fight. He did not appear in Court at all on Friday, and but for a short time yesterday. His countenance has worn a most gloomy cast for the last four or five days. He certainly starts from this for Holyhead on Friday morning." The proceedings of the Roman Catholic As- sociation in Dublin on Thursday were not important. The rent for the week exceeded 019/. A letter from Dublin says, " The Protestants of the county of Clare have done this year what, but for the mad project of O'Connell, they would not have thought of— petitioned against further concession, to the Roman Catholics— the same has been the case in the neighbouring county of Limerick." In Leicestershire, 11,500 signatures, all yeo manry, are already appended to the petition against Ca- tholic Emancipation. LIMERICK, Jan. 28.— On Friday night two houses were attacked in the parish of Ballingaddy, barony of Costlea. Four fellows, one armed with a pistol, shat- tered the windows of James deary's residence, and forced him to give them 10s., which they said was for Mr. O'Connell. The house of a widow Clifford was then attacked, the windows broken, and a demand made for money in the same name. They succeeded in procuring 4. » ., after which the marauders retired. The following parishes in the city of Bristol have petitioned Parliament against the Catholic Claims, viz.:— St. James, St. Paul, St. Augustine, St. Stephen, Temple, St. Mary Redcliff, St. Mary- le- Port, St. Thomas, St. Philip and Jacob, St. John, St. Nicholas, and St. Peter. Bath Naval and Military Bible Society,— The meeting of the Bath branch of this Society was held in the Guildhall on Saturday, the Bishop of Bath and Wells in the chair. The report stated that the number of bibles and prayer- books distributed among the soldiers and seamen, including those serving at the Cape of Good Hope, New South Wales, and in India, amounted to 11,82a, and the general total distributed by this society since its commencement was 220,680 copies. The receipts of the present year amounted to 3o22I. ftr. 5d. the expenditure to 353!!/. 6s. bd. The report quoted the opinion of Captain Parry, on this momentous sub- ject. The diffusion of religion among seamen, Captain Parry observed, tended to ennoble their minds, and for- tify them against the innumerable dangers to which their life is subject; and, speaking of himself, he mentioned that in those appalling regions where it was his lot to travel, the Bible was his greatest consolation in trouble, in sickness, and in despair. The Bishop of Bath and Wells then, in the course of an able and eloquent speech, strongly recommended the benevolent and Christian objects of the society;— a society providing for the seamen a compass which never varies, a pilot who never slumbers. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Sir W. Cockburn, Dr. Movsey, Rev. F. Crossman, Capt. Bazal- gette, Lieut. Col. Phipps, Rev. Mr. Marriott, and Capt. Sherrar; all powerfully recommending the objects of the society. PLYMOUTH, Feb. 2— About 1,200 of the Portuguese refugees have already left Plymouth for dif- ferent destinations— 300 of the volunteers embarked on Friday in the ship James Cropper, for Terceira, and sailed on Saturday. The number remaining is 1,300, who will leave England as soon as transports are provided. Bombay papers of the 17th of August report the fall of a part of a mountain in the distrtet of Ryrghar on the 28th of July, by which a village containing 18 houses, 65 persons, 86 head of cattle, and 20 goats, had been destroyed. By accounts from the coast of Africa, we learn that activity in the traffic of slaves is almost as great as ever, and that at present it is mainly supported by Spanish capitalists. Very recently two feluccas and a brig, all well manned and armed, had arrived on the coast from Barcelona, and were to proceed, when loaded, for the Havannah. In addition to which, there is a frigate- built ship, mounting 24 long guns, and capable of carrying 1200 slaves, in the bight of Biafra. Of these, his Majesty's ship Sybille has information, and it is hoped the Commodore will intercept them. In justice to the Emperor of Brazils, it should be remarked, that he has manifested a decided disposition to discontinue the traffic The Ashantees were perfectly quiet, and were encouraging a brisk trade in gold dust and ivory through their country, in exchange for which they took arms, cutlery, and many useful articles of English manufacture. Commodore Collier, with a view to preserve the health of all English seamen, in the merchant vessels, had in- flicted heavy fines on some of them, for subjecting their crews to work in the rivers, contrary to the law, which enjoins natives only to be so employed. It is to this description of work that it is mainly attributed the fatal fever so often contracted by our merchant seamen. We are glad to observe that the terms offered by Government to settlers in the new Colony in the Swan River, are so regarded by capitalists as to induce many to embark in the speculation. The alacrity which prevails among individuals of this class, in preparing to depart for this settlement, has no precedent in any former oppor- tunity for emigration. Many highly respectable and indeed distinguished individuals, whose names we have learnt, are eagerly engaged in forming parties on a large scale, to emigrate thither— Captain Stirling, the Gover- nor of the colony, will embark in a few days, on board the Parmelia, and two ships will sail shortly with freight and passengers for that destination.— Portsmouth paper. There are in Paris, it is said, two convents, in which religious discipline is regularly administered on every Tuesday and Friday. In the first the females are divided into parties of four, who flog each other naked in a corner : in the second, from 60 to 80 females are placed in a line in the middle of a large hall, in presence of the Abbess; these persons then flog each other, and the Abbess, from time to time, exhorts them to lay on good blows Journal des Voyageurs. NAPLES, Jan. 2.— The weather here was de- lightful until Christmas, the glass scarcely ever lower than 60 of Farenheit in the shade, but winter now prevail, and the Tramontana blowing a keen remembrance of our own northern latitudes, lias- covered the cone of Vesuvius, and the upper regions of the mountains, with a thick mantle of snow. A distinct line of demarcation is observ- able on the Appenines, the snow not falling more than 2000 feet above the level of the sea, from that height up- wards it holds dominion over them. Authentic accounts from the island of Ter- ceira, dated 23d of January, announce that an attack had been made on the 16th ult. by the three British fri- gates cruising off that island, upon four veesels, having on board a considerable number of Portuguese refugees. These are stated to have been fired upon with ball, and brought to, upon which a parley ensued; and notwith- standing every proper representation being made to the Commanders of the British ships, the vessels were not allowed to enter the port, but were compelled to go away. No further particulars of this extraordinary proceeding have yet reached us— Globe. The Emperor of Russia has considerably augmented the funds destined for the Academy of Sciences at St. Petersburg. Several new posts have been created, and the salary of the Academians, which was formerly only two thousand two hundred roubles, has been raised to six thousand. BERLIN, Jan. 19.— Though the most exten- sive preparations are making in the interior of Russia for the vigorous continuation of the war, many well- informed persons are of opinion that there will not be a second campaign, but that the negociations for a peace which haxe been commenced, will lead to the result desired.— This expectation of peace is founded 011 the disposition of the Emperor of Russia, as well as 011 the friendly rela- tions of the Christian Powers. A hope is entertained that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh will be induced, by the representations of the neutral Powers, to relax a little in its demands upon the Porte, and render it more easy for the Sultan to accede to an arrangement of the differences. It is of course taken for granted, that the mediation in the affairs of Greece, and the last declaration of the Powers, will be accepted by the Porte, and that as soon as the Ambassadors of France and England have returned to Constantinople they will employ their influence with the Porte to restore peace with Russia, and that they will find in the Sultan the same spirit of moderation as the Emperor Nicholas. The Duke of Richmond intends greatly cur- tailing his establishment of gamekeepers after this season. Lord Dalhousie is appointed Commander of the Forces in India, vice Lord Combermere. Mr. Curwood, of the King's Bench Bar, is spoken of to succeed to the Chief- Justiceship of Bombay, vice Sir E. West, deceased. A new Commission for the County Palatine of Lancaster is about to issue, at the head of which Sir James Scarlet lias been placed at the express desire of i the King. 100,000l. in sovereigns was entered at Dover Custom- house last week for exportation. Lashmar and Muggride, bankers at Brigh- ton, stopped payment on Saturday: their issue of one pound notes is said to be extensive. As Lady Elizabeth Belgrave was taking an airing on horseback on the road near Pulford, in the neighbourhood of Eaton Hall, on Friday afternoon, the animal, when going at a gentle canter, slipped and fell, by which her Ladyship was unhappily thrown off, and, it is to be feared, seriously injured, although there has been no fracture of the limbs. Her Ladyship was taken up totally insensible; and Mr. Harrison, of Chester, the medical attendant of the family, was immediately sent for. Upon minute examination it appeared that her Ladyship had suffered no external injury, but up to a late hour on Saturday the delirium continued. Mr. Kean, the actor, arrived at the York Hotel, in Liverpool, on Thursday evening last, on his way to his estate in the Isle of Bute, where, as he says, he means to rusticate for the winter. He sat in the pro- prietor's box at the Amphitheatre on Friday evening, and was highly delighted with the performances. The Opera House was opened for the season on Saturday evening, under the management of Mr. Laporte, with Rossini's opera of La Donna del Lago. Mr. Lindley, Mr. Nicholson, and several other English performers are not engaged this season as usual, owing to a disagreement with the manager respecting terms; and in consequence of their declining to accept his prof- fered terms, Mr. Laporte has engaged some foreigners in their room. This arrangement has given rise to some dissatisfaction, as appeared on the commencement of the performance upon this occasion ; for no sooner had the orchestaa begun the overture, when several voices in va- rious parts of the house were heard hissing, and crying, " Off, off; no foreigners," & c. This disturbance was however put an end to by a vast majority of the audience, and the performance proceeded in a manner that gave very great satisfaction. Madame Pezaroni, Mademoi- selle Monticelli, and several others, were highly ap- plauded, and there is reason to suppose that the season will prove a successful one to the manager. Mr. Liston has met with an accident; his foot slipping as he was getting out of his carriage, a fall was the consequence, by which he received a severe injury in the shoulder. It is to be hoped that Burke will not be the only example of retributive justice arising out of the de- tection of the late system of wholesale murder in Scot- land. The lowest calculation admits that, within the short period of one year, 17 human beings were slaugh- tered by Burke and his associates, for the surgical shambles. The conviction of one of the gang of fiends concerned in this infernal traffic is but a poor atonement to the laws and to society. It is not to be credited that these ignorant ruffians could have murdered their victims so scientifically as to deceive, in every instance, the eyes of experienced surgeons and anatomists, and to convince them that the bodies which they brought fresh from the scene of recent slaughter had died a natural death. At all events, society expects, and justice demands, that all persons who have had any connection with those trans- actions should undergo such a judicial investigation as will satisfy the feelings of the country— Mom. Herald. At a sale of farming stock in Henley market, last Thursday, a four- wheel harvest waggon actually sold for a guinea and a half; and a marketing cart, with iron arms, for 10s. Through the greatest part of the year 1828, the demand for woollen cloths and worsted stuffs, the principal staples of the West Riding of Yorkshire, was very steady, and ft is allowed that no year in the memory of man ever produced more pieces. There has, however, during the last two months, been an obvious declension in the manufacturing business, and at present the com- plaints in Leeds, Huddersficld, Wakefield, Bradford, and Halifax, are very numerous, and we fear too well founded. This is partly owing to the season of the year, and partly perhaps to the near approach of the long anticipated change in the currency, which induces both manufac turers and retail dealers to avoid burdening themselves with stocks. Notwithstanding this depression, the pre- vailing opinion is, that trade will revive early in the spring, and this expectation is encouraged by the fact that British woollens are successfully competing, even in cheapness, with the manufactures of Flanders and Ger- many.— Leedt Mercury. COURT OF KINO'S BENCH, Feb. 3.— The King v. Seymour.— Mr. Coleridge prayed the judgment of the Court against the defendant in this case. The defendant, who is a person of very large fortune, was convicted at tlie last assizes at Salisbury of an assault with an attempt to commit an unnatural crime. Lord Tenterden said, that in the absence of Mr. Jus- tice Bayley ( who was in the Bail Court), the Court would not pass judgment; he. therefore, directed that the case should stand over until a future day ; and that in the mean time the defendant should be handed over to the custody of the Marshal. The defendant, who had been brought up in the custody of the jailor of a Wiltshire prison, was then taken into custody by the Marshal. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Feb. 3.— The King v. Whately Mr. Sergeant Mere wether moved for a criminal information against a Clergyman of Berkshire, and a Magistrate of the county. The person at whose instance the application was made had a small cottage adjoining the rectory. There was a small piece of ground, which she swore belonged to the house; and as there was a dispute on the subject, she offered the Rector an inspection of the deeds, and to refer the matter to arbi- tration ; but he refused. Afterwards, being some time absent from home, she found on her return that the Re- verend Gentleman had removed the fence which separated the premises. A short time ago she observed an elder- bush close to a wall newly built, and, fearing it would damage the wall, she cut off one or two of : he branches. She shortly after received an intimation from the Reverend Gentleman, through the means of his attorney, that she had been guilty of a malicious trespass under the Mali- cious Trespass Act; and this gentleman produced to her the Act, and also a letter from Mr. Whately, in which he said that lie begged leave to send her the Trespass Act. She then received a summons, issued by the Rev. Gentleman himself, which was stated to be founded on the information of his gardener. The gardener had ac- knowledged that he had laid no information whatever. Then the attorney again came, and said he was sent to make a compromise to her,— and the compromise was to pay 51. and put a fence about some part of the premises. She accordingly paid the HI. The Court granted a rule to show cause. In the Court of King's Bench, on Thursday, Dennis Clement, who was found guilty at Gloucester assizes of a misdemeanor in obtaining a medical certificate from the Apothecary's Company by means of a forged indenture of apprenticeship, was brought up for judg- ment, and sentenced to be imprisoned six months in Hchester gaol. The Serpentine River on Monday presented a scene of uncommon gaiety. The ice was excellent, far superior to that in the former frost. The fact is, the partial thaw had produced a levelling quality, all the rippling ridges were gone, and the surface was as smooth as glass. The watermen from the Thames had re- turned, and erected their sheds and tables for the lend- ing out of skaits by the hour, along the whole of the southern bank and nearly to the wall of Kensington Bridge. On the north side of the river there was a bril- liant cavalcade of equipages about three o'clock. The skaiters were numerous, and a few of celebrity were pre- sent, viz. Mr. Byng, Captain Montague, Mr. Dering, and Captain King. The usual sports were indulged in by the lower orders. The day was delightful, being bril- liant from the rays of a warm sun and a clear atmosphere. The extreme severity of the late weather, added to its suddenness, proved fatal to many persons of advanced age, and those subject to pulmonary diseases. It is said that frost has the power of swelling or dilating water to neatly one- tenth of its bulk. FIRE AT YORK MINSTER. The Editor of the Yorkshire Gazette has communicated the following details of this calamity to the editor of the Courier paper: SIR,— I sit down with feelings which you may imagine, but which mock description, to give you the earliest inti- mation of a calamity the most awful and the most un- looked for, that could possibly have occurred; it is no less than the total destruction of the interior of York Minster, including the noble organ, from the lantern tower to the great east window, by fire. The fire was discovered, I understand, by one of the vergers, about seven o'clock this morning, and an alarm was given, which soon collected a few of the residents in the immediate neighbourhood to the spot. A gentleman, who was one of the first that arrived, informs me that at this moment the fire was raging on the south side of the choir, had communicated to the organ loft, and from thence was making its way to the roof. An engine was got into the interior, and a supply of water being pro- cured, it continued to play upon the flames till the de- vastating element, from the combustible nature of the materials it had to act upon, obtained such an ascendancy, that it was obliged to be withdrawn to save the lives of the men. In the mean time, the cushions and books, & c. in the north side of the choir, were carried out and de- posited in a place of safety ; the brass eagle from which the lessons were read was also borne away ; and outside men were busily employed in removing the wills and other muniments from the Will Office, which adjoins the south side of the Minster. These important documents were all saved, but it will require much time to arrange them again in due order. The alarm now began to spread over the city, and the engines belonging to the Corporation, the different Fire Offices, and the Barracks, arrived, together with a file of soldiers from the latter, some of which were stationed in the great west aisle, where the Musical Festival was held, to play upon the screen and the organ, whilst others were stationed on the exterior. About half- past seven the organ was completely in flames; the roof had also caught fire, and as it was composed of wood, and covered with lead, it burnt most rapidly. The immense height of the roof rendered it impossible to bring the engines to bear upon it, and a little after eight the flames burst through, presenting to the spectator a spectacle most awful and most distressing. The organ had been entirely consumed before eight o'clock ; and the flames rapidly spread along each side of the choir to the altar, consuming the stalls, galleries, & c., which were formed of oak, the carving of which— the workmanship of ages long gone by— had been universally admired. It was now found that all attempts to save the interior of this portion of the sacred edifice would be vain: and all that could be done was to sta- tion the engines in such a way, that they might play upon the walls, and preserve, if possible, " the windows, particularly the noble one at the east end. About nine o'clock a portion of the roof fell in with a tremendous crash; for a moment the whole space was beautifully illuminated; the next, a mass of smoke and ashes rose from the ruins, and enveloped them in darkness and obscurity. About this time, could the melancholy feeling have been shaken oft', that the pride of the city was destroyed— that the beauty of the " most august of Christian temples" was defaced— the spectacle, to one who stood in the west aisle, and looked towards the altar, was superbly grand. The whole space was a mass of fire, plowing with the most iniense heat, whilst its corrus- cations were reflected in the painted windows, and illu- minated the surrounding walls with a thousand fantastic hues. But the mind could not dwell on such a scene. The noise and confusion which reigned around; the horrid hum arising from the firemen and other workmen, whose voices were rendered harsh and discordant by the effects of the smoke, which almost stifled them ; the intense anxiety and regret which were depicted on every countenance ; the lamentations audibly uttered by some, and whispered in accents which seemed scarcely intended to reach the car even of the immediate auditor, by others ; and even the agitation evinced by the bats, and other birds, which were driven from their peaceful domiciles, and, unable to find an outlet, fell, many of them a prey to the flames— all conspired to produce associations in the mind of the most painful description. About ten o'clock another portion of the roof fell in. About this time great fears were entertained for the east window, as the fire was rapidly making its way towards it. Workmen were stationed on the roof, who, after some difficulty, sawed assunder the beams, and pushed the burning rafters into the abyss below. Some squares were broken from the heat at the upper part, and a few were dashed out at the lower to admit the pipe of an en- gine, but I hope this will be all the injury it will suffer. Before twelve o'clock the whole of the roof of the choir and the chancel had fallen in, and this portion of that far- famed edifice, where, for ages, men of all ranks and degrees had assembled to pray and praise, is now ex- posed to the pitiless pelting of all the winds of heaven; an awful and impressive lesson on the instability of all human greatness. The monuments— many of them most elegant ones— have sustained more injury than was inflicted upon them even by the fanatic, round- headed rebels of the Crom- wellian era. Some well- meaning but injudicious persons began pulling these down to take away piecemeal, under the idea that the whole fabric would come down, and that this was the only chance of saving any of them. As, however, there was no appearanoe of the walls falling, against which most of them were erected, the devastation was put a stop to, and I trust some, at least, of these fine specimens of ancient and modern art will escape un- injured. An express was sent to Leeds for engines, and one arrived from that town about two o'clock. P. B. Thompson, Esq. of Escreet, also sent his private one; and one arrived from Tadcaster. These, as they arrived, were sent to play on different parts of the building, and the fire may now be considered as having done its worst, having, as I before stated, consumed the interior, and the roof from the tower to the east window. The west end has not been touched. Of the origin of the fire I can give you no account; there are a hundred different reports, probably not one of them the true one. The patrole state that at 2 o'clock in the morning there was not the slightest appearance of fire. I have not heard of any accident to life or limb, which is some consolation under this heavy calamity. Your's faithfully. EDITOR OF THE YORKSHIRE GAZETTE. February 2, 1823. The cause of the above dreadful and national calamity has not as yet been completely ascertained; but in reference to this part of the subject, the York Courant paper of Tuesday says : " The Minster being lit with gas, that was first blamed as the cause of the fire, but, in justice to the Gas Com- pany, we deem it right to endeavour to remove so unjust a prejudice as this rumour has occasioned. The next report was that the fire was tile work of incendiaries, and in confirmation of this, a knotted ro, pe found hanging from one of the windows near the Chapter- house, was pointed out as the means by which the villains had gained admittance for their diabolical purposes. This, however, was also on inquiry explained ; some workmen belonging to the Minster had that mornging placed the rope there, and entered by it for other and nobler purposes. The fact is, that the fire seems to have originated in one of the vestries, and was the lamentable result of accident alone: " On the arrival of the workmen and others, about seven o'clock in the morning, they found the interior of the vestry, in which the clergy and choristers usually unrobe, completely consumed. Its communication with other parts of the Minster were then easily traced; and we are sorry to say, that the beautiful wood work of the choir, together with the invaluable organ, which we be- lieve had not its equal, were soon a heap of ruins Communication with the roof was not at first apprehended, but we lament to say that the pillars, being of lime stone, served as conductors of the fire; and the roof of the choir being of very dry wood, it soon was joined with the other wood work in one general conflagration." The damage at York Minster is variously estimated. We have heard that, at a rough calculation, 100,000/. would not be sufficient to repair the injuries the edifice has sustained. This is the fourth time this vene- rable Cathedral has suffered from fire.— Hull Packet. Execution of Burke.— This monster suffered the extreme sentence of the law on Wednesday last; and so great was the curiosity to see him, that it is supposed that no less than 30,000 persons were present. When the culprit ascended the platform, yells of execration from all parts of the crowd were uttered, and at the moment when he came_ in full view, they rose to a tre- mendous pitch, intermixed with maledictions, such as " the murderer! burke him! choke him!" and other expressions of that sort. The miserable wretch was ap- parently blenched by the appalling shouts and yells of execration with winch he was assailed, and cast a look of fierce and even desperate defiance at the spectators, who reiterated their cries. Having taken his station in front of the drop, he kneeled with his back towards the spec- tators, his Confessor on his right hand, and the other Catholic clergyman on his left, and appeared to be re- peating a form of prayer, dictated to him by one of these reverend persons. He manifested considerable repug- nance to have the cap drawn oyer his face, and it was not without some little difficulty that this part of the fatal preparation was completed. When ever thing was ready, and the assistants of the executioner had withdrawn, he at once gave the signal, throwing the handkerchief to some distance from him ; and was instantly launched into eternity. The falling of the drop was accompanied with three loud shouts. The knot of the noose slipped from under his ear to behind his neck; and he evidently died, like his own victims, from suffocation alone. Exchequer subpoenas were served last week upon three respectable individuals in Worcester, for possessing themselves of the personal estates of deceased persons without proving their wills, or taking out letters of administration within six months as prescribed by law. The penalty sought to be recovered is 1001. in each case. The gamekeeper of Sir H. P. Davie, Bart, near Crediton, Devon, being last week insulted by a man who was trespassing on his master's grounds, struck him on the head with his gun- barrel with so much force as to fracture the man's skull, and cause his death. A coro- ner's jury has returned a verdict of " Manslaughter." Barras, the celebrated President of the French Directory during the Revolution, died on Satur- day at Paris, aged 78. The Boston boring for water has now pro- ceeded to the depth of six hundred and twenty- five feet, without the slightest symptoms of success. Great reductions are to take place imme- diately in the Civil Department of the Navy. Three Commissioners of the Navy will retire, and fifteen clerks are to be reduced. The power of the Comptroller of the Navy is to be extended, and to assimilate to that enjoyed by the Master- General of the Ordnance in his depart- ment; and one of the Commissioners is to superintend the Financial Department, as a responsible accountant- Reductions will also take place in the Victualling- office. ( From the Courier of Tuesday, Feb. 2. J One of those processions, which, God be praised, seldom occur in this metropolis or in this country, took place this morning, and passed our office. It was a long and melancholy line, about ten thousand persons, extending from St. Paul's to Charing- cross, eight or ten deep— They moved slowly and ill a most orderly manner — and we grieve to add, that their appearance was suffi- cient to shew that they were indeed in great distress. Oh, this must not be !— We can pity even irregular acts when committed under the pressure of want— but here was a moving mass of misery from which not a single word of dissatisfaction against Government was heard. They had banners with inscriptions upon them— " Victims of Free Trade." " Free Trade and Pauperism." " We pray for Restoration of our Trade." And there were looms and other instruments, enveloped with crape, carried by weak hands and emaciated bodies. They were going to the Duke of Wellington with the following Memorial, drawn up with a touching simpli- city which must give tenfold weight to its prayer:— To His Grace the Duke of Wellington. Grace, under circumstances of the most trying descrip- tion, having laboured for a considerable period under many severe privations, which your Memorialists attri- bute to the competition into which they had been thrown in consequence of the introduction of Foreign Wrought Silk, thereby superseding the demand for their labour, and depriving them of the means of subsistence for them- selves and families. Grace any particular mode of relief for the existing dis- tress. At present there are upwards of 7,000 looms out of, employ, the remainder only partially employed, and working at such low wages, that they cannot obtain the common necessaries of life. junction with his Majesty's Ministers, will adopt such measures as will relieve them from the wretched and unmerited condition under which they are now placed. And your Memorialists, as in duty bound," & c. & c. The above Memorial was not received by the Duke of Wellington in person, as he was engaged on affairs of importance; but his Grace desired the Clerks of the Treasury to state, that he would give it careful consideration. SpITALFIELDS DISTRESS.— The following ad- vertisement has been published upon this most melan- choly subject: At a meeting of the Spitalfields and Bethnal Green Distress Association, held on Friday the 30th of Jan. 1829, Mr. Justins, tipper Warden of Christ Church, in the chair,— The distress and gloom becoming every day more ap- palling, thirty thousand poor individuals in this district being now out of employ, and enduring the greatest pri- vations, the Committee again most respectfully appeal to the kind sympathy of a generous public to alleviate the sufferings of so numerous a body of their industrious fellow- creatures. The Committee venture to solicit the charitable and powerful assistance of those talented individuals who conduct the London Press, in giving every publicity to the present philanthropic appeal. The Lord Mayor having most promptly offered his zealous co- operation in this laudable undertaking, sub- scriptions will be received by his Lordship, at the Man- sion House; also by Sir William Curtis, Robarts, and Co.; and Messrs. Whitmore, Wells, and Co. bankers, Lombard- street. ROBERT BRUTTON, Sec. Mademoiselle Sontagmade herre- appearance at the Italian Opera in Paris on Saturday last. A French paper, in noticing this circumstance, says—" The theatre was crowded to excess to witness the re- appearance of this charming songstress, who, by an indisposition com- mon enough, but, for a Signora, rather disagreeable, has been kept so long from the stage. The loud applause of the audience showed how well pleased the public are at her recovery; indeed, the voice of Madame Sontag is so agreeable, correct, and melodious, that we are never tired of hearing it." The play- goers of the metropolis will learn with pleasure, that the managers of Covent Garden Theatre have succeeded in concluding an engagement with Miss Smithson, and that this Parisian idol will consequently make her first appearance in the higher characters of the drama, on the London hoards, before the end of Spring. It is stated, in a letter from Paris, that in consequence of a new imitation of diamonds, the real stones are lowered there in value, as the imitation stone possesses all the properties of the real brilliant— cuts glass, and sets off ladies' necks to equal advantage. The good people of Weimar are so fond of music, that an open Concert is performed twice a week in the Market- place, by musicians provided for that purpose by the Civic Authorities. ABINGDON.— An affair of rather an unplea- sant nature to the parties concerned took place on Thurs- day last. A tradesman of Abingdon was on the point of leading to the hymeneal altar the object of his warm affections, when, in consequence of some private informa- tion received by the officiating minister, that gentleman refused to perforin the ceremony. The fact is, the in- tended bride was the sister of the intended bridegroom's first wife the has had two), and the laws of consanguinity forbade the solemnization of the match. The feelings of disappointment may be easily appreciated Heading Mercury. On Wednesday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, a lady, with a female servant and child, passing through St. James's churchyard, Bristol, was attacked by a man in a similar dress to that worn by trowmen ; the miscreant threw a composition of filth and combustibles, with an intent, no doubt, to have entirely covered the lady's face, for the purpose of murdering or robbing her, but the former is strongly suspected. An alarm being given, the fellow, after a short pause, de- camped through the avenue opposite Lewin's- mead, where he was joined by several of his comrades. A gentleman lately returned from Barbadoes informs us, that he has frequently observed patients, apparently in the last stage of pulmonary consumption, with symptoms of organic mischief, as very offensive dark expectoration, often tinged with blood, and almost incessant cough, recover under the use of the true Bar- badoes tar. He recommends it to be taken in the form of a linctus, made with honey and conserve of roses Gazette of Health. NEW THERMOMETER.— A horizontal ther- mometer has been invented at Paris, of which report speaks highly. A letter from M. de Humboldt charac- terises it as an admirable instrument. A petrified sea- buiscuit was last week picked up on the shore near Whitstable, which is in the posses- sion of Mr. Grist, land- surveyor, of Canterbury. The action of the water does not appear to have decomposed it in the least— Sussex Advertiser. Effects of sudden Emotions of the Mind.— Barthuz relates the case of a female, who, having let her infant fall from her arm, was suddenly struck with para- lysis of one of the upper extremities. M. Hellis, of the Hotel Dieu at Rouen, litis lately witnessed some similar cases— A girl, about 12 years of age, being present at an execution, was so terrified at the moment when the cri- minal's head fell, that one of her arms suddenly became paralysed. She was brought to the Hotel Dieu, where she remained during three months, but without receiving any benefit, though her general health was undisturbed. In another case, a girl of nine years, being attacked by a dog, was so frightened, that she fell down in a sense- less state. When examined at the Hotel Dieu, the pulse was found quiet, the skin perfectly sensible, the countenance indicative of excitement, and the eyes flar- ing. She had fully recovered her senses, but had no power of motion, the muscles being in a state of rigidity, and deglutition was very difficult. An emetic, and the application of leeches to the neck, were without any effect, and she died suddenly on the fourth day. On Farm, Birdham, Sussex, in the occupation of Mr. John Lawrence, on Friday last, a hen was discovered, which had been buried there 35 days previous. Two eygs were found behind her. It is evident that the hen could not possibly have moved during her incarceration, from the pressure of the straw on all sides. Life not being extinct, kind treatment has restored her to a run in the farm yard. BEAUTIFUL BIRDS.— Last week the town of Southampton was visited by an itinerant vender of the feathered tribe, and the beautiful yellow plumage of the birds attracted the attention of many ; amongst whom was a respectable tradesman who seemed anxious to pur- chase one of the ( supposed) Canary birds; a very reason- able price was asked by the vender, and quickly paid by the purchaser ; who went home highly satisfied with his bargain ! On a nearer inspection of his bird, the colour of its yellow plumage had begun to fade, and the once beautiful Canary, turned out to be nothing more than a painted Linnet! The Dumfries Courier gives a seemingly well- attested account of a dog which can pronounce " William." CORN EXCHANGE, Feb 4.— The mealing trade was extremely dull this morning, owing to the alteration of the weather, and the certainty of large supplies from almost every quarter— indeed, no buyers could be found, nor will there until prices give way. Barley and Oats may be said to be in nearly the same condition. When Dr. James's Powders and Daily's Elixir were first introduced, the inventors, as also the medicines, were abused and scoffed at. However, time, in its patient progress, did ample justice to both, and proved the futility of prejudice, when competed with practical wisdom. We have been credibly informed that a medicine, called the " CORDIAL BALM OF ZURA," discovered and prepared by Dr. LAMERT, has been generally approved of, and recommended in all severe attacks of rheumatism and gout.

The Publisher, Medicine Venders, and the Public in genera], are aware that Dr. Patrick Anderson, of Edinburgh, Physician to King Charles the First, prepared his Grand Angelica for the use of his Majesty, who authorised him to make them public for the benefit of his subjects ;— that the Doctor, and his successor, Robert Anderson, sen. sent them out from Scotland, whereby they became universally known by the name of Scots or Scotch Pitts; and that they have continued to be prepared, by the long succession of the Anderson family, for nearly 200 years, to the present proprietor of the Recipes, MRS.

The Proprietor takes this opportunity of assuring the public, that Dr. Anderson's Specific Pills for the STONE in the Gall, Kidnies, and Bladder, are different in quality and effects from the Scots Pills, and that the cases re- ferred to in the bills, in conjunction with others, prove them the most efficient remedy ever offered to the public for the eradication of that dreadful concomitant complaint the Gravel, as well as the Lumbago, Dropsy, pain and weakness of the Back, Loins, arid seminal parts ; they have succeeded were even Lithotomy and other opera- tions have failed.

PARIS, Feb. 2. THE three Ambassadors have arrived at Naples. Mr. Stratford Canning arrived there 011 the 14th. Count Gnilleminot landed at Bala on the Kith, and the frigate which had M. de Ribeaupierre on board entered the bay of Naples on the morning of the 17th. The Augsburgh Gazette states, that letters from Vienna, of January 24, again affirm that despatches, the contents of which were pacific, had arrived, and that Lord Cowley, the English Ambassador, had sent a courier to London with despatches, which related to the favourable reception that M. Jaubert had met with at Constantinople. A letter from Rome, of the 22d of January, says— " His Excellency the Marquis de Ribeaupierre, the Ambassador from the Emperor of Russia to the Ottoman Porte, arrived at Home on the 20th of this month. He came from Naples." A Russian Diplomatic Envoy arrived at Paris the day before yesterday, and delivered to the Ambassador of his Sovereign dispatches which ate said to be important.

THURSDAY, Feb. 5 The Session of Parliament was this day opened by Commission. The Commissioners were— the Lord Chancellor, Earl Bathurst, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Ellenborough, and the Earl of Shaf- tesbury. At a quarter- past two o'clock, the Royal Com- missioners having taken their seats, the Usher of the Black Rod was sent to require the attendance of the House of Commons below the Bar. In a few minutes the Speaker appeared, accompanied by a very considera- ble number of Members, when the Lord Chancellor delivered the following most gracilis Speech :— HIS MAJESTY'S SPEECH. " My Lords and Gentlemen, " His ' Majesty commands us to inform you that he continues to receive from his Allies, and generally from all'" Princes and States, the assurance of their unabated desire to cultivate the most friendly relations with his Majesty. " Under the mediation of his Majesty, the prelimi- naries of a Treaty of Peace between his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, and the Republic of the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata, have been signed and ratified. " His Majesty has concluded a Convention with the King of Spain, for the final settlement of the claims of British and Spanish subjects preferred under the Treaty signed at Madrid, on the 12th of March, 1823. " His Majesty has directed a copy of this Convention to be laid before you ; and his Majesty relies upon your assistance to enable him to execute some of its provisions. " His Majesty laments that his diplomatic relations with Portugal are still necessarily suspended. " Deeply interested in the prosperity of the Portuguese Monarchy, his Majesty has entered into Negociations With the Head of the House of Braganza, in the hope of terminating a state of affairs which is incompatible with the permanent tranquillity and welfare of Portugal. " His Majesty commands us to assure you that he has laboured unremittingly to fulfil the stipulations of the Treaty of the 6th of July, 11127, and to effect, in concert with his Allies, the pacification of Greece. " The Morea has been liberated from the presence of the Egyptian and Turkish forces. " This important object has been accomplished by the successful exertions of the naval forces of his Majesty and of his Allies, which led to a Convention with the Pacha of Egypt; and finally by the skilful disposition arid exemplary conduct of the French army, acting by the commands of his Most Christian Majesty, on the behalf of the Alliance. " The troops of his Most Christian Majesty having completed the task assigned to them by the Allies, have commenced their return to France. " It is with great satisfaction that his Majesty informs you, that, during the whole of these operations, the most cordial union has subsisted between the forces of the Three Powers by sea and land. " His Majesty deplores the continuance of hostilities between the Emperor of Russia and the Ottoman Porte. " His Imperial Majesty, in the prosecution of those hostilities, has considered it necessary to resume the ex- ercise of his belligerent rights ill the Mediterranean, and has established a Blockade of the Dardanelles. " From the operation of this Blockade, those com- mercial enterprises of his Majesty's subjects have been exempted which were undertaken upon the faith of his Majesty's declaration to his Parliament respecting the neutrality at the Mediterranean Sea. " Although it has become indispensable for his Ma. jesty anil the King of France to suspend the co- operation of their Forces with those of his Imperial Majesty, in consequence of this resumption of the exercise of his bel- ligerent rights, the best understanding prevails between the Three Powers, in their endeavours to accomplish the remaining objects of the Treaty of London. " Gentlemen of the House, of Commons, " We ate commanded by his Majesty to acquaint you, that the Estimates for the current Year will forthwith be laid before you. His Majesty relies on your readiness to grant the necessary supplies, with a just regard to the exigencies of the Public Service, and to the economy which his Majesty is anxious to enforce in every depart- ment of the State. " His Majesty lias the satisfaction to announce to you the continual improvement of the Revenue. " The progressive increase in that branch of it which is derived from articles of internal consumption, is pe- culiarly gratifying to his Majesty, as affording a decisive indication of the stability of the national resources, and of the increased comfort and prosperity of his people. " My LORDS and Gentlemen, " The state of Ireland has been the object of his Majesty's continual solicitude. " His Majesty laments that in that part of the United Kingdom an Association should still exist, which is dan- gerous to the public peace, and inconsistent with the spirit of the Constitution; which keeps alive discord and ill- will amongst his Majesty's subjects; and which must, if per- mitted to continue, effectually obstruct every effort per- manently to improve the condition of Ireland. His Majesty confidently relies on the wisdom and on the support of his Parliament; and his Majesty feels assured that you will commit to him such powers as may enable his Majesty to maintain his just authority. " His Majesty recommends that when this essential object shall have been accomplished, you should take into your deliberate consideration the whole condition of Ireland, and that you should review the Laws which impose Civil Disabilities on his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects. ' You will consider whether the removal of those dis- abilities can be effected consistently with the full and permanent security of our Establishments in Church anil State, with the maintenance of the Reformed Religion established by Law, anil of the Rights and Privileges of the Bishop- and of the Clergy of this Realm, and of tie Churches committed to their charge. " These are Institutions which must ever be held sacred in this Protestant Kingdom, and which it is the duty and the determination of his Majesty to preserve Inviolate. " His Majesty most earnestly recommends to you to enter upon the consideration of a subject of such para mount importance, deeply interesting to the best, feelings of his people, and involving the tranquillity and concord of the United Kingdom, with the temper and the mode- ration which will best ensure the successful issue of your deliberations." At the conclusion of the Speech, their Lordships ad- journed, and at five o'clock the House resumed. The Marquis of Salisbury then addressed their Lord- ships, and said, it must be a source of congratulation to find thai we were in the present enjoyment of peace, and likely to remain so. Nor was it less cheering to receive an assurance from the Throne, that our revenue was on the increase. In alluding to that part of the Royal Speech relative to the meditated concession to the Roman Catholics, he could not but express his opinion that it was extremely proper such a recommendation should be prefaced with the appeal made to the Legislature respect- ing the proceedings of the Catholic Association. ( Cheers.) That body, it appeared, had raised funds and levied taxes from the people, not for the purpose of promoting the tranquillity of Ireiand, but for the purpose of exciting and exasperating those feelings, whose existence every well- wisher of the empire must regret and deplore. He He would be the last loan to consent that the concessions meditated should be made at the expense of the Protes- tant establishment, without the security requisite, either to calm the fears or protect tile interest of the professors of the Established Religion, and its Prelates and Clergy. The noble Marquis then moved ah Address to his Majesty. The Earl of Wicklore, seconded the Address. The Duke of Newcastle was anxious to know if Minis- ters meant to proceed by Bill or by Committee. The Duke of Wellington— I have the honour to in- form your Lordships, that it is the intention of his Ma- jesty's Government, to present to Parliament, a Measure for the adjustment of what is called the Roman Catholic Question. That measure will be presented without go- ing into a Committee. That measure will extend to the removal, generally, of all disabilities affecting the Ro- man Catholics, with exceptions solely resting on special grounds. That measure will be accompanied with other measures rendered necessary by the removal of those disabilities. Lord Winchilsea heard with regret and surprise that Ministers intended to bring in such a measure. He con- sidered that both the honour and the consistency of the new advocates of Emancipation were deeply compromised. Lord Eldon said, that he should betray his duty to his Sovereign, whom he revered— that he should betray his duty to every member of the community, knowing as he did the danger and hazard of the measure about to be proposed— were he not to raise his voice loudly and earnestly against it. lie trusted the sentiments expressed by him might find their way throughout the country, and th. il (.- vet; individual in it would beat him bay that which was his firm, fixed, anil unalterable conviction,— namely, that if they once permitted Roman Catholics to take their seats in either House of Parliament, or to legislate for the State, or if they granted them the privilege of possessing the great executive offices of the Constitution, from that day and that moment the sun of Great Britain was set. ( Hear, hear.) His opinions might be received with laughter and contempt— oppro- brium and public odium might be heaped upon their author— neverthelss he was prepared to contend that they were correct, but trusted they never would be realized. His noble friend ( the Marquis of Salisbury) had talked of the right of the Roman Catholics to civil privileges. Who said that they bad any such right ? and on what grounds ? Who would assert the principle ? Was it not competent to every state to declare who should and who should not hold political offices in that state ? Doubtless it was, and on the plainest principles of national justice. Such was the right assumed by every country and at all periods, to hold one party eligible to— another incapable of political power. No man had any abstract right to political office ; his eligibility must depend upon tile public voice, and embraced various questions of fitness, expediency, or otherwise. He granted that no man ought to be incapacited from serving the state, except on grounds of state policy— strong, cogent, and paramount reasons of state policy. But this, he contended, was precisely the situation of the Roman Catholics, and he challenged his opponents to prove the converse of the proposition. Earl Bathurst thought the mode intended by Ministers to be the only proper and advisable one. Lord Farnham expressed himself strongly opposed to emancipation in every shape. Lord Anglesea said, he had intended to take that oppor- tunity of entering into a vindication of his conduct in Ireland ; ( but, in consequence of the peculiar circum- stances in which he felt himself placed, he would for the present abstain. I would propose a measure ( said his Lordship) which would at once extinguish the Catholic Association— pass a bill for putting upon a footing of political equality your Protestant and Catholic brethren, and I will answer for it you will never hear again of the Catholic Association. ( Hear, hear.) Lord Goderch supported the Address. The Duke of Newcastle regretted deeply the change of sentiments in the Duke of Wellington, and that he had ceased to be the defender of his country. Lord Redesdale thought the reasoning used ill favour of Dissenters was not at all applicable to Catholics, inso- much as the Dissenters were split into a number of par- ties, while the Catholics were united, and not only united, but subject to foreign influence. The Duke of Wellington deprecated the attempt, at the present moment, to call forth any explanation of what Ministers intended. He denied that he had changed his mind on this subject, or that he had not been always most anxious for a settlement of the question. Lord Lansdowne said, the measure now recommended was one of such paramount importance to the peace and security of Ireland, and to be the best interests of the empire at large, that let it be introduced by any party, be they who they may, it should receive his most cordial support. The Address was then agreed to, and their Lordship* adjourned at nine o'clock HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY, Feb. 5 The Speaker entered the House at 10 minutes before four o'clock. After some preliminary business, Sir Edward L. Bryan presented a petition against the return of Mr. O'Connell, for Clare, complaining of an undue election, and prayed that it be taken into consideration on Monday next. The petition was brought up and read. The Speaker having read the King's Speech, Viscount Clive, in rising to move the Address, said he thought the course taken by Ministers to be not only the most constitutional, but also the most manly and the most straight forward; namely, to advise their. Royal Master to recommend the suppression of that Association, which had spread discord through the country and excited the worst passions—( cheers)— and that being done, and the supremacy of the law asserted, to give relief to the Roman Catholics. ( Hear, hear.) The noble Lord con- cluded by moving an Address. Viscount Carry seconded the Address. He observed that the Catholic Association had proceeded to the utmost point it could be permitted to go. It had arrogated to itself all the powers of a Parliament in as far as influence over the Catholics was concerned, and it had excited dis- cord and disturbance. It had now, however, arrived at such a pitch that it must be put down. It must either give way to the law or the law must give way to it. ( Hear.) And he trusted that there would be very few, if any, Members in that House who would not readily give his Majesty's Ministers their support in effecting that desirable object. ( Hear.) Sir Joseph Yorke was gratified ill the highest degree at the whole of the Speech ; and would cordially co- operate with his Majesty's Ministers in whatever they might pro- pose for the final settlement of this all. engrossing subject. Mr. II. Banket was anxious to learn what the plan of procedure that Government intended to adopt might be. He said, that if the two Houses of Parliament should be opened to Roman Catholics, it would be impossible for the Protestant Church of Ireland to stand for many yean after such a concession. ( Hear.) Sir R. H. Inglis was decidedly opposed to Emancipa- tion. He thought the Catholic Association had intimi- dated the Duke of Wellington. Lord Milton did not think that the previous history of the noble Duke bespoke a man to be so lightly intimi- dated. He warmly approved of the measure. The Marquis of Chandos opposed the Catholic claims. Mr. Moore was of opinion, that this measure would be a source of sorrow, surprise, and indignation to every Protestant in Ireland. Air. Peel grounded his defence of the measure on the broad principle of its necessity. It had not been hastily resolved on— the measure had been contemplated for months. As a mere private individual his feelings were unchanged; but he did not conceive he stood excused on that account from giving to his Sovereign what he con- sidered the best advice for the welfare of the country at large. The danger of emancipation he admitted, but, it was future and contingent; the danger of refusing it was present and certain. The Hon. Member for Dorset : ( Mr. Bankes) had asked what particular measure was contemplated by the Government; and to this he could only reply that there was nothing in the Address from the Throne which could pledge any Honorable Member. The first measure contemplated by Government was to suppress an Association, the evils of which were so re- markable and notorious; and they would not take any measure of concession into consideration until the ascen- dancy of the law in Ireland was fully vindicated. He was asked if his Majesty's Ministers had any given plan to propose, or if it were to be thrown loosely on the House, and that every Member might propose his own particular views? To this he would answer, that his Majesty's Ministers had a plan to submit— that the sub- ject would not be thrown loosely on the House, but that they proposed to go into a Committee— substantially and fully to submit the opinions of Government upon the pre- sent state of the Catholics— and that at such an early pe- riod of the Session as would effectually secure their object. He was farther asked, what was the general character of the intended measure; and to this lie could now only reply, that it would be impossible at present to enter into the details, and therefore Honorable Members must wait until the proper opportunity offered for giving every [ necessary explanation. This he might be permitted to add, that it was the wish of Government to settle this qurestion permanently, and that on a fair, liberal, and satisfactory basis. However, come what may of the measure itself— if hereafter the Roman Catholics attempt to trench upon the authority of the Crown, or to attack any of the institutions of the country— the measure, of relief which is now proposed to be dealt out to them. If Carried, will serve to rebuke and to defeat every effort that may be made against these institutions. In the discussions which had taken place in the Cabinet, there were several perplexing circumstances, which, in the opinion of his noble friend ( the Duke of Wellington), would have created embarrassment if he ( Air. Peel) had retired; he therefore determined to create no obstacle out of considerations personal to himself; and it being proved to the conviction of his mind that the difficulty of adjust- ing the question would be increased by the pressing of his retirement, he said at once that no consideration on earth should indece him to abandon his noble friend in a work of such great national impottance, and of the necessity of which he was now thoroughly convinced. He saw that no Protestant Government united against the Ca- tholic Claims could be formed ; and lie saw equally that a disunited Cabinet was incompatible with the best interests of the Empire; and he was therefore ready, at whatever sacrifice, either of power, or of the appro- bation of many who wore his friends, to take that course which should be considered most conducive to the public good. He had freed himself from engagements by which he hail willingly been fettered, until lie was obliged to consider a settlement of this question the course most free from peril, and the least open to objec- tion i and whatever part lie might formerly have taken, it was perfectly consistent with the discharge of his duty as a Member of Parliament and a servant of the Crown, that he should now do all in his power to fulfil the solemn injunctions conveyed in his Majesty's Speech, " to enter upon the consideration of a subject of such pa- ramount importance, deeply interesting to the best feelings of bis people, and involving the tranquillity and concord of the United Kingdom, with the temper and the mode- ration which will best insure the successful issue of our deliberations." Mr. Brougham was satisfied with what had fallen from the lit. Hon. Gentleman. He thought Emancipation ought to precede, not follow, the putting down of the Association. At the same time, if they took his earnest advice, the Association would put down itself, and thus anticipate the wishes of the Government. Mr. Trant and Mr. H. Maxwell both expressed them- selves in the strongest terms agains the proposed measure. Mr. C. Pelham thought the rights of the House and the country equally endangered by Emancipation. General Gascoyne commented strongly on the conduct of Mr. Peel, and particularly alluded to his quitting the Ministry of Mr. Cunning, because that Gentleman was friendly to the measure which he now advocated. Lord Ashley and Mr, H. Grattan spoke shortly in fa- vour of1 the Address. Sir J. Mackintosh also spoke in favour of the Address, reserving to himself the right of afterwards discussing full) the foreign relations of the kingdom Sir Francis Burdett concurred in the advice given by Mr. Brougham to the Association, by a voluntary dis- solution to anticipate the wishes of the Legislature. The question was then put, and the Address agreed to without a division.—. Adjourned. London, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6. It will be seen by the debates last night in both Houses that the Catholic Claims arc to undergo the grave and solemn deliberation of Parliament, with a view to relieve Catholics from the civil disabilities under which they labour. It is now made a Cabinet Question, Mr. Peel co- operating in the views of the Duke of Wel- lington to make concessions consistent with the pro- tection of the Protestant ascendancy. Preparations are making at St. James's Palace for the reception of his Majesty, who is expected early next week. The Duke of Wellington and Mr. Secretary Peel gave full- dress Parliamentary dinners on Wednes- day evening, at their respective residences— the former to a large party of Members of the House of Peers, and the latter to a numerous party of Members of the House of Commons— in order to communicate to them the King's Speech on opening the Session of Parliament. A deputation from the Spitalfields weavers attended, by appointment, at half- past three o'clock Wednesday afternoon, at the office of the Board of Trade, Whitehall. The deputation were met by the President and Vice- President of the Board of Trade, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Master of the Mint.— The conference lasted till near six o'clock. The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the prices of grain in the different provinces of France, together with the scale for regulating tile export or import of corn. It may not be generally known, that for the purposes of the French corn law, France is divided into departments or markets of four classes, and that exportation as well as importation is prohibited at certain prices, which vary in these different districts. It may be remarked, that the ascending and descending scale of duties, for the invention of which the late Lord Liverpool got so much credit, seems to have been borrowed in principle from tile French corn laws. The intelligence brought by the Paris jour- nals of Tuesday, is generally of a pacific character. The reception of M. Jaubert at Constantinople is said to have been so favourable that a communication had been made by Lord Cowley to our Government; and by a diplo- matic Envoy to the Russian Ambassador at Paris, on the subject. A Russian frigate, it is added, belonging to the blockading squadron, had appeared with a flag of truce at the entrance of the Bosphorus,. and obtained per- mission to proceed to the capital. Letters by the French mail positively assert upon the authority of some of the Portuguese Refugees arrived at Brest, that one of the English ships of war had fired upon some of the transports which attempted to effect a landing at Terceira, after being warned off, and that several of the people on board the latter were killed and wounded. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 30th ult. con- tradicts the statement which has been lately circulated that the Forte, besides granting a favourable reception to M. Jaubert, had acceded to the proposition of the Me- diating Powers, and invited the Ambassadors of France and England to return to Constantinople. Accounts from the Frontiers of Servia state that the Porte intended to bring into the field next Spring 130,000 new combatants from Bosnia, which was completely pacified, and from Albania, and that they would be ready at the end of February. The Porte seems to turn its attention to the increase of its force in Asia. Several Pachas in Asia Minor have received orders to send reinforcements to Salih Pacha, Governor of Erzcroum. Letters from Harwich state that the Lord Nelson packet bad arrived from Heligoland without the mail, the Elbe being in such a state on account of the floating ice, that rone of the boats would convey the bags across to Cuxhaven. The price of wheat has risen considerably in Spain, in consequence of the demand for this country. Recent letters from Bilboa state that 50. v. and 51s. per quarter was given. Great quantities had been purchased, and were waiting for freight. By a Royal Decree of the 17th January, the town of Flushing has been declared a free port, under similar regulations to that of Amsterdam.— Brussels Telegraph. The Volage, of 28 guns, Capt. Seymour, was at Rio Janeiro on the 2f » h November, ami was to leave for England in a few days; she had 700,000 dollars on board, on merchants' account, and may be hourly ex- pected. CAPE COAST CASTLE.— The forts of Capo Coast Castle and Accra have been transferred over by Government to the resident merchants, under certain provisions and regulations for their maintenance anil defence. DUBLIN, Feb. 3.— The Limerick Mail, which left Dublin last night, was robbed near Monasterevin, in the county of Kildare, about thirty miles from this city. The place chosen for the purpose, demonstrates the plan- ning of the robbery to have been of the most deliberate kind. Several cars were drawn up across the road at a dark angle, over which the coach was upset, when a party of armed fellows attacked the guards, coachman, and passengers, in such a manner as to render all resistance unavailing, and they succeeded in taking away all the mail bags, & c. The number of Catholics in England and | Wales, is computed to exceed 300,000. The principal j Roman Catholic counties are, Lancashire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and Northumberland. These, with Dur- j ham, Cheshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Kent, and Worcester- I shire, the next in number, contain about 200,000. London ' and its suburbs, with Surrey and Middlesex, are rated at 50,000. The remaining 50,000 are thinly scattered throughout the other counties and cities. The Kent Anti- catholic petition lias received upwards of ill, 400 signatures. Of I1800 Male inhabitants, in a parish not twelve miles from this city, only two persons refused to sign the County Petition against further concessions to the Catholics, and those two individuals are receiving pay from his Majesty's Government!— Exeter paper. CULTURE OF TOBACCO IN IRELAND.;— It has been ascertained, that at least one million pounds' weight of tobacco were grown in Ireland last year, and brought into consumption, by which the Revenue was defrauded of 150,000/. Preparations are now making, which will produce a growth of five million pounds this year, a quantity equal to that upon which duty is paid The consumption of tobacco in Ireland is calculated, from official documents, at twenty million pounds per annum, but for many years past the quantity upon which duty has been paid never exceeded five million pounds, and in some years not more than two million pounds. By this extensive home culture of tobacco, the Coast Blockade Service, which was instituted principally to prevent the smuggling of American tobacco, is rendered useless. In the year 1824 the cost of this service was equal to the whole duty received by Government on tobacco id Ireland. The necessity of an alteration in the law for- bidding the cultivation of tobacco in England, which subject was brought before the last general meeting of the Bath and West of England Society by Mr. Hemming, is strikingly exemplified by the fact, ascertained from authentic documents, that at least one million pounds weight of that plant were grown in Ireland last year. Some speculative herring owners at Yar- mouth last week sent a barrel of their finest to the Pope, is a sample, expecting an order from his Holiness against Lent. Since the last fishing season there have been 22 cargoes, containing 12,053 hogsheads of pilchards, ex- ported from St. Ives, besides 1,000 hogsheads sent over land to be exported from Penzance, ami nearly 2,000 hogsheads sold fresh to persons in the neighbourhood, making, in the whole, upwards of 14,500 hogsheads taken by the St. Ives fishermen ; a greater quantity than v, as ever before taken there in one season. There is at Tula in Russia a manufactory for the fabric of arms, hardly to he excelled by the most celebrated manufactories of England. From this grand arm manufactory there issues, yearly, 700,000 stand of fr. n- arms, anil 25,000 side arms. More than 3000 workmen are employed in their fabric. PADDY— It is not generally known that the article of paddy, or rice in the husk, is now imported in consi- derable quantities from the East Indies, and used by our millers for grinding with wheat of bad quality. About the month of July last year, when the prospects of the har- vest became so unfavorable, a general inquiry arose for this article: and when it was ascertained that there would be a great deficiency in the crop of wheat,, extensive purchases were made at 16s. to 1 lis. per cwt., being an advance upon the average value of 50 to 60 per cent. The duty upon this article, on importation, has been lately reduced from 4s. to Is. per cwt., which has led to an increased consumption. On a cellar door in a town in Gloucester- shire is the following notice:—" Chuse and Butes naitly cleaned here." REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.- There is at present a female of the name of Orman, residing at No. 10, Newman's place, who is cutting three new teeth, although in the 75th year of her age!— Cheltenham Chronicle. DARING THEFT.— A few evenings since as a watch and clock maker of Yeovil, named Barnsby, was sitting in his shop at work. Some daring thief thrust his hand through a pane of the window and ran off with three watches. He was persued by Barnsoy, who caught sight of the fellow, but in his haste he met with a fall, and the rascal escaped, losing his hat in the flight. A baker named Ellery, of Exeter, was brought before the Magistrates on Monday last, charged with sup- plying the poor with bread short of weight, and with having deficient Weights in his possession. The case was clearly proved, and the baker fined 5A: one of the Magistrates said he wished it had been 20/. STARVATION.— On Monday e* ening a man died suddenly in a coffee- shop in Long- acre. 0: t the Coroner's inquest, it was proved that his death was occa- sioned by the want of food. From the " Hand Divine," one of the Sacred Poems Just published by the Rev. C. F. Walkins, of Farley. So brief our time on earth ; and so confin'd The present Pow'rs bestow'd upon the mind ; That mortal life is all too short a spall For human intellect and art to scan The full design ; the utmost use to learn ; And more, the perfect structure to discern Of only one of all those works, which thou Hast here disclos'd, before our senses now.

Earl Grosvenor last week sent an official communication to the Chester electors that " he will not in future interfere, directly or indirectly, in influencing the Representation of that city." Lord Belgrave will not again stand for Chester, " nor will any two mem- bers of his Lotdship's house again solicit suffrages of the Electors." FIRE AT YORK MINSTER.— The damage sus- tained at the Minster may be summed up thus:— The roof of the choir quite gone, the wood work on each side consumed, the matchless organ destroyed, many monu- ments broken, anil the communion plate melted. For some time the city was in considerable danger ; flakes of fire were carried as far as the ' Lord Mavor's Walk ; but providentially there was very little wind, and no further damage was experienced. The High Court of Justiciary in Scotland has decided that the Bill of Suspension and Liberation in favour of Hare ( the accomplice of Burke) must pass, 1 and has consequently issued a warrant to the Magis- trates of Edinburgh to set tile assassin at liberty. The Edinburgh Olserver says, on this subject—'* Had it been possible to visit this monster with condign punishment, without a gross violation of public faith, the public an- ther ides would at once have yielded to the clamour for more blood. The High Court of Justiciary have no interest whatever but to administer the strictest justice; and their recognition of the claims of this execrable ruf- fian to the protection of the law, is the strogest pledge they could have given of the honourable and concientious manner in which they discharge even their most unpo- pular duties." The bank of Messrs. Lashmar and Muggridge stopped payment on Saturday, on which day the doors were not opened. The event created much dismay and distress among the market- folks, many of whom had that morning taken of the notes; and by these the tem- porary inconvenience, should it he no worse, is almost as severely felt as if it were a total loss. No statement lias yet been put forth, showing the position of affairs; although the active partner, Mr. John Lashmar, states, with great confidence, that ill a few days all tile engage- ments of the firm will be met Brighton Guardian. I he annual meeting of the Bath Auxiliary Religious Tract Society, held on Tuesday at the Guild- hall, was most numerously and respectably attended. A deputation from the parent institution, consisting of the Rev. Messrs. Herbert and Mortimer, attended, and com- municated some most interesting particulars of the la- bours of the society, particularly in Indostan. Some of their tracts had even reached to China, a country whose forms of religion, government, and customs were almost unknown to Europeans, and at this present time many millions of tracts, by the efforts of the society alone, were spread over the face of the globe, translated into not less th an forty different languages. In allusion to the pre- judices which existed against tile society, it was observed, that one objection taken to it was, that principles were disseminated not according with the doctrine of the Esta- blished Church. This they denied; and that such an idea had crept into, the minds of the public must be attributed to their ignorance of the opinions of the mem- bers composing the society. Their list of members boasted of many names that stood pre- eminent in the Church of England for the most scrupulous integrity to her tenets, anil who would look with jealousy on the least deviation from that path of principle which she so strictly pointed out. The society trusted that this argument alone would serve to prove how false had been the charges against them — ft was estimated that 1,000.000 copies of tracts, composed of scriptural comments, religious bio- graphy. and portions of theology, selected from the works of our best divines, had been distributed in the last year, being an immense increase on the supply of 11127. The society called for the best endeavours of all who professed the sacred cause of Christianity, and hoped that its voice would not be raised in vain— There were present at the meeting the Rev. Messrs. Hinxman, Marriott. Cross- man, Jay, and numerous other friends to the diffusion of general Christian knowledge. Lingard's Character of Cromwell Cromwell was not the meteor which surprises and astounds by the brilliancy and rapidity of its course. Cool, cautious, calculating, he stole on with slow and measured pace; and while with secret pleasure he toiled up the ascent to greatness. laboured to persuade the spectators that he was reluctantly borne forward by an exterior and resistless force, by the march of events, the necessities of the stile, the will of the army, and even the decree of the Almighty. He looked upon dissimulation as the perfection of human wisdom, and made it the keystone of the arch on which he built his fortunes. The aspirations of his ambition were concealed under the pretence of attachment to " the good old cause ;" and his secret workings to acquire the sovereignty for himself and his family were represented as endeavours to secure for his former brethren in arms the blessings of civil and religious freedom, the two great objects which originally called them into the field. Thus his whole conduct was made up of artifice and deceit. He laid his plans long beforehand ; he studied the views & dispositions of all from whose influence he bad any thing to hope or fear; and he employed every expedient to win their affections, and to make them the' blind unconscious tools of his policy. For this purpose he asked questions, or threw ^ out insinuations in their hearing; now kept them aloof with an air of reserve anil dignity ; now put them off their guard by condescension, perhaps by buf- foonery ; at one time, addressed himself to their vanity or avarice; at another, exposed to them with tears ( for tears he had at will) the calamities of the nation; and then, when he found them moulded to his purpose, in- stead of assenting to the advice which he had himself suggested, feigned reluctance, urged objections, and pleaded scruples of conscience. At length he yielded : but it was not till he had acquired by bis resistance the praise of moderation, and the right of attributing his acquiescence to their importunity, rather than to his own ambition. Grecian. Female Costume.— Their head is enve- loped in a handkerchief folded fantastically, so as to form a turban with a cone; and a shawl of no ordinary dimensions being flung around their shoulders, is braced by a girdle at the waist, whilst its superfluous folds are fashioned into a capacious hag behind. The petticoats descend no farther than the knee, which is concealed by a pair of drawers, reaching as low as the ball of the leg, and the font being first swathed in. three or four successive pairs of stockings, is thrust into the toe of a fancifully or- namented shoe with an unusually high heel. Four or five gowns and other garments, heaped on with less taste than profusion, complete this singular masquerade, and all are secured at the waist by a velvet stomacher, richly embroidered, and glittering with gilded spangles. The hair of the younger females is first plaited into long triple bands, and then twisted round the head, interlaced with strings of zechins, mahmoudis, and other golden coins, or left to flow gracefully behind them. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Feb. 4. De Crespigny, Bart. v. Wellesley This case came before the Court on demurrer, under the following cir- cumstances :— It may be recollected that in the course of last summer a duel was fought between Mr. Long Wellesley and the Rev. Heaton De Crespigny, in consequence of the former having imputed to Sir William De Crespigny, . Mr. Heaton De Crespigny's father, an intrigue with a female relative of both the parties. Some explanations of the circumstances afterwards appeared in the news- papers, in reply to one of which Mr. Wellesley published, amongst other things, the minutes of a conversation ( con- taining the imputation upon the plaintiff above referred to) between himself and Mr. De Crespigny, which lie stated had been drawn up by Mr. De Crespigny himself, and after having been subsequently revised and corrected by him, were delivered to Mr. Wellesley, and shown to Captain De Brooke in the presence of Colonel Freemantle and Colonel Paterson. Sir William, upon this, instituted an action of libel against Mr. Wellesley,— The declaration contained a great number of counts, charg- ing the foregoing and other publications as libels, to all of which the defendant pleaded the general issue, Not Guilty; to which he added three special pleas in substance this;— That inasmuch as the defendant, when he pub- lished the alleged libellous matter in question, stated, at the same time, the name of the party who had previously published it to him, he was not liable to an action in respect of such publication. To these special pleas of justification the plaintiff' demurred. Mr. Sergeant Wilde, in a speech of some length, sup- ported the demurrer. Mr. Sergeant Spankie supported the pless; '-. The Court intimated, that although they did not feel much difficulty in coming to a decision, vet, as the case was one of general importance, they would prefer taking , a day or two before they pronounced their judgment.

SHIELD.— The funeral of this eminent musical professor, and highly- esteemed member of so- ciety, took place on Wednesday. The mournful proces- sion consisted of almost the whole of our great musical performers, vocal and instrumental; and the remains of the lamented deceased were interred with all due solem- nity in Westminster Abbey. SHAKSPEARE.— The surface of the walls of the chamber wherein Shakspeare was born ( though merely whitewash laid on about twenty years back). are covered by the names of visitors, among which are Moore and Scott, the poets; Kemble, Kean, the King ( when Re- gent), the Duke of Clarence, at least half of the two Houses of Parliament, and distinguished foieigners, as Lucien Buonaparte, and the Austrian and Russian Princes. About one thousand persons per annum gene- rally visit his tomb. At the Bath Literary and Scientific Institu- tion on Monday evening, an interesting paper was read by Arthur Langworthy, Esq, on the Animal Economy.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.— On Monday a young man, in the employ of Messrs. Carlisle and Co. of Bristol, was detected in having secreted some silk hand- kerchiefs in his great coat pocket; search was imme- diately made at his lodgings, where there were discovered, in possession of his brother, goods of various descriptions to the amount of 200/. and upwards, which was thus fortunately recovered by Messrs. (,'. and Co.— On the production of the goods, which consisted of silk dresses, silk twist, handkerchiefs, laces, & c., they literally co- vered the large circular table of the Magistrates.— The delinquent and his brother were fully committed for trial; the former had been only nine months in his employers' service,, and from some documents found on his person it is probable that this was not his first attempt. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.— On Monday afternoon, as a young woman, residing near Northleach, was walking from Cheltenham to her native Milage, two men darted suddenly upon her from Shipton Lane, knocked her down, and robbed her of a band- box containing wearing apparel, and a reticule. As soon as she had recovered from the effects of the blow, she proceeded on her journey, and caused the miscreants to be pursued,, but they have hitherto contrived to elude discovery. A very extraordinary leap, performed by a horse called Chesterfield, and rode by Colonel Russell, the property of Lord Alvanley, took place a few days since at Melton Mowbray, during a run with the Quorn hounds. It appears that the gallant Colonel, in making a leap over a fence, was not aware of a wide dyke or brook oil the opposite side; the horse, however, cleared both fence and brook. On measuring from the place of' flight to the spot where the horse alighted, the distance was proved to be eleven yards three inches, being one of tile greatest leaps in the annals of hunting.

FRIDAY, Feb. 6 The House was occupied up to half- past five o'clock in receiving petitions against con- cessions to the Roman Catholics. CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.— Mr. Peel gave notice of his intention to move for leave to bring in a bill for the suppression of dangerous associations. Mr Tennyson gave noiice of his intention to move for leave to bring in the East Retford disfranchisement bill. On bringing up the Report of the Address, in answer to the Speech from the Throne, Sir T. Lethbridge had no intention to oppose the Ad- dress— he merely wished to say a few words upon the recommendation in the Speech for considering the claims of the Roman Catholics. He had, upon many occasions, given his opposition to those claims. With respect to the present recommendation, he considered it an act quite distinct from any former one upon the subject. It was, in fact, an isolated one. His sentiments however re- mained the same. He did not cxpect any favourable results from the enquiry— indeed quite the contrary. Much as he desired that such a result as was hoped by the friends of Emancipation might take place, he feared it would not. He, therefore, should watch most anxiously the progress of the enquiry, hoping, as he had said he- fore, that a successful termination might follow, but he doubted it. Mr. Leslie Foster said he was no Orangeman— he was no Brunswicker, and therefore could not be prejudiced in the view which he took of the case. He would choose the course recommended in the Speech from the Throne. He reposed the most entire confidence in the Members of his Majesty's Government, and therefore was prepared to enter up. in the enquiiy. He had no objection to admit lay individuals to offices of confidence; butasto the Church of Rome, that he was inclined to recommend, at the pre- sent moment, to be laid at the feet of the Legislature, and that the door of it should be shut. ( Hear.) Sure he was the two Churches could not amalgamate together. The fact was, the people of this country were taught, from their infancy, to believe that the Catholic religion was one of error— that was their feeling, and that feeling was more prevalent in the Protestant Dissenters and Uni tarians, and also in the Church of Scotland. He was, however, glad to see, that a course was to be taken, which did not make a distinction in the enquiry, but was likely to lead to a strong and united Government. Mr. George Dawson felt that the recommendation in the Speech was the dawning of a day of prosperity for Ireland, which would compensate for years of misery. He had long been convinced lliat further opposition to Catholic Emancipation would be nugatory, lie saw that the time had arrived when it was necessarv to change the opinions which he had formerly entertained upon the subject of Emancipation, and a certain conviction that the present was the time to follow up the opinions which he now had upon the subject. ( Hear.) He therefore hailed with delight and satisfaction the sentiments re- commended in the Speech from the Throne. Mr. Huskinson said that the communication made from the Throne was one of the most important ever delivered. He was overfiowing in feelings of gratitude to his Majesty, for having thus shewn so paternal a regard to the interests of his Catholic people. He felt equally grateful to Ministers, for having advised their Sovereign to rccommend the measure to Parliament.— He was satisfied that it was a measure of grace, and he trusted that it would be received by the Roman Catholics themselves as such. He ( Mr. Huskisson) trusted too, that when it was taken into consideration, every liberal and adequate means would be afforded, to make it com- mensurate with the end proposed— that is to say, that the adjustment would not only fee conciliatory, but final, giving strength and happiness to the United Empire.— He heartily congratulated the House, that the principles of religious liberty had made such great progress in the country. He could not help recollecting, that two years since the Right Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Peel) had stated, that in or out of power he would oppose all further con- cessions to the Roman Catholics. He, however, had now changed his mixd, and he ( Mr. H.) stated it greatly to the praise of the Right Hon. Gent, that he had beoome a conciliating moderator. He had begun with the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, ana in the same manner, and clothed in the same character, he had, with equal suc- cess and with equal sincerity, accomplished the measure of Emancipation for the Roman Catholics. ( Hear, hear.) For himself, he entertained a sincere attachment to the Protestant Church, and an entire conviction that its rights would be maintained, notwithstanding the measure in question. With respect to the doctrines of the Catho- lic Church, he never had disguised his sentiments; he had invariably objected to them. With respect to the Catholic Association— he could not mlmit that it kept alive the spirit of discord in Ireland— it certainly was inconsistent with the Constitution, and dangerous to the peace of Ireland ; but he did not think it would be necessary to put it down— he would rather leave it to expire, for want of any grounds to keep it alive. ( Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman then referred to the other topics in the Speech, in all which lie concurred; and he gave his entire confidence and support to the Address. Sir Joint Newport expressed his satisfaction that the cause of Emancipation was likely to be carried. Mr. R. Smith said, that sentiments in favour of the question were almost universal. Lord Althorpe expressed great gratification upon hearing that the great object which had occupied his political life was likely to be settled. Mr. C. Grant coincided in the sentiments expressed by most of the hon. Members, and with reference to the two measures, he wished that they should pass the House simultaneously. Lord L. Gower and Lord J. Russell entirely concurred with the recommendation in the Speech. Mr. Peel after noticing some observations that had fallen from Mr. Huskisson respecting Portugal, adverted to the proposed measure in favour of the Catholics. He having undertaken it, he said, he pledged himself that it would be so ample, as while it combined the best and firmest security for the Established Church and the fctatc, it would at tho same time be calculated to satisfy any reasonable expectations of the Cathalics. ( Loud cheers,) His conviction was, that the most politic course to pursue, was for the Legislature to consider it mode- rately and dispassionately, without any negotiation or consulting other parlies. The Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst cheers from both sides of the House. The Speaker ihcn put the question, that the Address be presented to his Majesty on Monday next, which was agreed to nem con., and the House adjourned. London, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7- The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland arrived at Northumberland House, yesterday, from their teat at Alnwick Castle, Northumberland. The Duke of Clarence catne to town yester- day, from Bushy Park, to the residence of the Princess Augusta, in the Palace. St. James's. His Royal High- ness returned to Bushy in the afternoon. The Earl of Aberbeen, Lord Hill, Lord Ellenborough, and Mr. Secretary Peel, visisted the Duke of Wellington, yesterday, at the Treasury. Mr. Peel, Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, and Mr. Herrjes, visited the Chancellor of the Exchequer Friday. The young Queen of Portugal has recovered from her cold. Her Majesty took an airing on Tuesday, and passed through Chertsey, Staines, and other places udjaccnt, to her residence at Laleham. The weather being unfavourable on Wednesday, she kept her apart- ments. Her Majesty gave a sitting on Thursday for her bust to Turnerelli, the sculptor. Letters are received from the Russian head- quarters, to the 6th of January, at which period all pre- pMMionj were suspended by the intensity ol' the frott. DISSOLUTION of the IRISH CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION. At the meeting of the Association in Dublin, on Tuesday, Mr. O'Connell said, " I mean to close my I present observations by a notice which I shall move on Thursday, as I shall have to leave this on Friday for England. The motion is, that the Catholic association be completely and for ever dissolved by a Bill being passed for a complete and unqualified emancipation—( Cheers.) I am delighetl to mention the circumstance, that that which determined the Ministry upon carry< ng the ques- tion of emancipation, was the late meeting at the Rotunda. ( Cheers,) I proclaim it here to all Ireland, that the emancipation which we for 29 years have been struggling for ever since tile Union, is now about to be received, thank God, from the disinterested, honest, and good exertions of our Protestant fellow countrymen. ( Cheers.) Let tranquillity be established amongst the people— let an absence from crime— an absence from secret societies and illegal oaths— mark their conduct; let the Catholic- relit be poured into the national treasury, and thus let the peo- ple show to tiie colleagues of the Duke of Wellington how great is their anxiety to see the cause of Emancipation triumph ( Hear, hear! and loud cheers.)— We require no superiority over our Protestant fellow countrymen. All that we require is, that peace may become perma- nent, and tranquility established in the country— that Protestants and Catholics may live together as fellow Christians and brothers."—( Hear, and cheers.) TUB CATHOLIC QUESTION.—' The following is the substance of the measures to be proposed by Ministers : 1. To arm the Executive Government with sufficient powers to suppress the Catholic Association. 2. After that measure has been accomplished, Govern- ment will bring forward a Bill upon its own responsibi- lity and authority. It will be brought forward early, and the principle of it is the permanent settlement of the Question on a satisfactory basis. The object to be ac- complished is the removal of civil disabilities oil account of religious distinctions— with certain exceptions and re- gulations, resting on special grounds. The measure is not to be regarded in the light of a compact whh any partv or person, or the result of any negociation with any Foreign Potentate. The Catholic Question has at length tri- umphed. It were idle and unnecessary to deny or disguise the fact. When you say to a man, who com- plains of a grievance, that you will take h: s case into consideration with the view of affording liim relief, you acknowledge the existence of the grievance, and pledge yourself to afford a remedy. Whether the uieasuw of that relief will equal his expectation ( in the present instance, judging from what passed yesterday in both Houses, we think it will) is another question— Courier. OXFORD, Feb. 5.— After the Convocation had this day decided upon the petition to Parliament against the Catholic Claims, a communication was made by the Vice Chancellor in the form of a letter from Mr. Peel, which threw a damp over the proceedings, and by its visible effect on tiie Members of Convocation, turned the feelings of triumph into those of anxious consideration, and painful forebodings. The purport of Mr. Peel's let- ter was this, as far as could be collected from a single recital:— " That, influenced by the alarming state of things in reference to our conneciion with Ireland, and what are called the Catholic Claims, he had brought his mind tin conjunction with every Memberof his Majesty's Govern- ment), to contemplate the possibility of adopting some plan by which that long agitated question might be satis factorily set at rest. In coming to this conclusion he had kept in view only the interests of the King, his master, and the welfare of the nation. When he had satisfied these claims, he next turned his mind to the claims and opinions of his constituents; aud, considering that he had probably been indebted for much of their support to the opposition he had hitherto maintained against the Catholic Claims, he felt that he could do no less than offer to replace in their hands the trust which, with such feelings, they had committed to him. Painful, therefore, as was the sacrifice, he was prepared to tender his resig- nation of the representation of the University of Oxford, at such time as the Vice- Chancellor should inform him would best suit the convenience of the University." Mr. Sheriff Copeland was yesterday elected Alderman of the Ward of Bisnopsgate. The fire in York Minster there is reason to suppose, WAS caused by an insane incendiary. The Leeds Intelligencer states, that a man who gained a livelihood at York by hawking pamphlets, and who had foretold that the Minster would be destroyed by fire, had suddenly left his lodgings, and could not be found. A pair of pincers belonging to a shoemaker with whom he lodged, anil which were found in the Cathedral, have been iden- tified. The wretched man has been more than once in a lunatic asylum.

Not the slightest wound could be discovered on any part of the body, and in his pockets was a considerable sum of money and other aiticles of value.

The subscriptions for the benefit of the poor, in Devizes, have been most liberal. An Address has been published by the Visi- tor? of the Dorset Lunatic Asylum, from which it appears that the subscription list already presents the sum of 2526/. lfi » . Cut. which has been subscribed by 73 indivi- duals only, bearing ( says the report) but a small propor- tion to the number of those whose benevolent exetiions may be expected in such a cause, and which will pro- bably wholly exonerate the county rate from every shate of the expense. The ball at the assembly rooms, Blandford, on Tuesday was well attended, and dancing was kept up with great spirit until seven o'clock the followiug morning. Great praise is due to the stewards for their exertions on the occasion.

Friday se'nnight, the annual meeting of the members of the Swindon Association for the prosecution of felons, and the mutual protection of property, was held at the Goddard Arms inn, in that town, when, after a committee had examined the accounts, reported on the prosecutions of the last year, and transacted other busi- ness of the day, about sixty members, including several of the neighbouring gentry, sat down to an excellent dinner provided for the occasion.

This association isin a very flourishing con- dition, and is both numerously and respectably patronized. It has now 130 members. The following night after the above meeting, the stable of Mr. Robert Hughes of Salthrop, ( one of the members,) was broken open, and two of his horses were stolen ; one of which having afterwards broken down, was abandoned on the road ; the oilier has not yet been recovered. Mr. Hughes has reason to congratulate himself that he be- longed to an association which is always liberal in reim- bursing iis members and their expenses, as well as in en- deavouring to digcovtr will prusccutc offenders.

On Wednesday last died at Bath, in his 87th year. John Parish, Esq. This truly good man was too well known to need a laboured eulogy; but it may with truth be said, that great anil liberal as were his public charities, they were even less signal than the private munificence in which his generous spirit loved to indulge. Died at her house at Dorchester, Dorsetshire, on the 2d instant, in the 93d year of her age, Mrs. Frampton, widow of the late James Frampton, Esq. of Moreton, in the same county.

ROBBERY.— Elizabeth Warner, head cham- bermaid at the King's Arms, Dorchester, had amassed 2110;. in gold, which she kept in a box in her bed- room. On Sunday iast, to her great consternation, she found that the whole of her money had disappeared. Suspicion fell upon Alice Comoy, who had previously lived as ser- vant in the same house. Slip was lately married to a private of the 5th Dragoon Guards, now stationed at Dorchester, and search being made at their lodgings, a trunk was found in their possession containing 141 sove- reigns, 5 guineas, 9 half- sovereigns, and 3 half- guineas. Conroy and his wife underwent an examination on Mon- day, when one of the guineas was identified by Warner, and both the prisoners were committed for trial at the Assizes. This circumstance affords, another proof of the folly of servants keeping money in their possession, when it can be safely reposed in Savings Banks, where it would accumulate. It was stated that Warner had 1( KW' in her possession seven years since, and if it had been then placed in'a Savings Bank, the interest would by this time have amounted to a very considerable sum.
