THE Cardinal de la Fare, Archbishop of Lens, a Peer of France, Minister of State and • First Almoner of the Dauphiness, died this morning, at the apartments which he occupied at the Tuileries. Lord Cochrane arrived on the 2Gth Nov. at Turin, • coming from Paris en his way to Naples. The American packet Edward Bonale has made the ^ passage from New York to Havre in sixteen days; this has been the most rapid voyage that the packet succeeded in making within the last seven years in the direct line ( from Havre to the United States. We perceive, amongst the list of marriages published in the American Papers of the 9th of November, that of Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte with Miss Susan May, ( he only daughter of an inhabitant of Baltimore. The United States are going to establish a communi- cation with India, across Egypt, by means of steam- boats. There are 43 steamers starting from New York, and about 30 within the limits of Cincinnati, including those under repair. There are, besides, 11 new steamers on the stocks, and contracts have been made for building others. The voyage to India, which lasts usually four months, could be completed in 30 days by a steamer— Journal des Debats. TOULON, Dec. 5 This town continues to be a scene of great disturbances in consequence of a misunderstand- ing between the Marines and the 8th Regiment of the Line. Several men have lost their lives, or have been dangerously wounded. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, NOV. 29— The affairs of Greece, which are now the subject of active negotiations at London, occasion a constant'exchange of couriers be- tween London, Paris, and St. Petersburg. Tile prin- cipal questions are relative to the political existence and the form of the future government of Greece, and it seems to be decided that the country is to be entirely ex- empt ftom the sovereignty of the Turks, and that it is to be a monarchical State; but it is not determined who shall be the new Sovereign. London, MONDAY, DECEMBER 14. We have heard that his Majesty will com- mence his residence at Windsor Castle about the 21st instant, where the most costly preparations are making to ( rive eclat to the grand celebration of Christmas. The Monarch continues in the best health, and in the highest spirits. His Majesty, a few days ago, observed to a venerable nobleman who was honoured with an audience, " I can assure you I have not been in better health for the last dozen years." May he long continue to be able to say so !— Windsor Herald. Notwithstanding the contradictory reports, we can state with equal certainty and regret, that a cata- ract has formed in one of the eyes of his Majesty. The other eye is at present not affected. His Majesty, it is supposed, will undergo an operation.— Times. Workmen have been busily employed, for tome time past in getting ready the foundation, and making other necessary preparations, for the election of the colossal equestrian statue of his late Majesty George the Third, by Westmacott, which will be erected on the top of Snowhill, at the extremity of the Long Walk, on the 12th of August next— Windsor Herald. The managers of the Adelphi Theatre were honoured by an unexpected visit from her Royal High- ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Princess Victoria, on Thursday evening. The Royal party seemed highly de- lighted with the performance of the elephant, and at the conclusion of the piece, the Princess, in crossing the stage, presented sweetmeats to it with her own hand. An elegant marble statue of the late Duke of York has just been placed in a niche in the first landing of the Staircase of the United Service Club- house. Her Grace the Duchess of ' Northumberland will sail for England in a few days, in consequence of the very alarming state of the health of her Grace's mother. Lady Powis. The German papers state that the Emperor of Russia is about to erect a monument to the memory of his late brother. It is to be a Doric pillar, resembling Trajan's pillar at Rome. The shaft of the column, of one block of red granite, is to be 84 feet high; and the whole monument, including the pedestal and the cross on the pillar, 154 feet high, so that it will surpass every similar monument, ancient or modern. ( Jnder the head of Ancona, Nov. 20,' a state- ment appears in the Frankfort paper, alluding to a recri- minatory report addressed by the President of the Na- tional Assembly of Greece to the Government, in answer to a letter of General Church, written on occasion of his resignation. From the same journal we learn that a great number of private persons have offeied to establish jn Greece schools on the system of mutual instruction. The contest between Algiers and France appears at last to be rapidly approaching its termination. A vessel, which arrived at Toulon on the 4th, from the blockading squadron off Algiers, is stated to have brought despatches to the French Government, announcing that the Dey, at the desire of the Sultan, had expressed his readiness to settle his differences with France. The King of France set off for Compeigne on Monday last, and this excursion has revived the reports of a partial or total change of the Ministry. The only circumstance that is calculated to give the least sem- blance of probability to the present rumours is, that Compeigne has been selected by the Kings of France when they hail determined on getting rid of an unpo- pular Ministry. An article from the Nuremburg Correspon- dent of the 4th December, and headed Frontiers of Italy, 25th November, is sufficiently curious. According to this statement, the Russian General in Chief has declined the proffered civility of u visit / from Count Capo D'Istria, the President of Greece. Whether the reasons assigned for this refusal are genuine, or whether the entire statement is not subject to suspicion, we have not sufficient data to pronounce a positive opinion.— Courier. Accounts have been received from His Ma- jesty's ship Athol, dated 8th October, from Sierra Leone, at which time that colony was in good health. The Athol called at the River Gambia, and irt her passage from thence to Sierra Leone, capturcd and car- ried in with her a large Slaver, having 370 slaves on board. Masonry in France.— Some young men had formed a meeting in the Rue Rochechonart. The Pre- fect, being informed of this clandestine congregation, commissioned the Commissary of Police to watch them. The Commissary, followed by his men, penetrated into the house, and found a scorc of individuals assembled in a saloon, all decorated with ribands, and other Masonic insignia. The Commissioner seized the registers and de- corations, and conveyed them to the Prefecture of Police! Quotidienne. What would the English ' brethren of the mystic tie' say to this ? The tragedy of Othello was played at Drury- Lane Theatre, on Friday evening to a crowded and • de- lighted audience. Othello was always considered Kean's best character, and his representation of it last night was a chaste and powerful performance. Young's Iago was also excellent, as was the Desdemona of Miss Phillips, and the Rodrigo of Browne. , MURDER AND ROBBERY.— A murder, at- tended with robbery, was comniittcd early on Thursday . morning at Long Copse, near the residence of Mrs Mundy, a short distance from Havant, on Mr. John Sims, aged 00, residing in a detached cottage with his _ housekeeper, who had lived with him for fourteen years. : It was ptesumed in the neighbourhood that he had hoarded money, and this belief unfortunately excited the cupidity of some necessitous designing villains. It appears that about two o'clock in the morning the house, keeper had Nccasion to open the door, when three men rushed by her into the house: one was a tall man, and the other two rather short j one of the short men having black crape over his face. The tall man remained with her in the kitchen, standing over her with a short bludgeon, telling her that if she made any noise it would be the worse for her. The two then went through the little room, up stairs, to her master's room; they had not been there long before she heard her master cry murder! murder! She then said to the man who was • with her, " I hope they will not hurt the old man;" when he replied, " he had better hold his tongue, or it will be the worse for him." The two men, after having " been some time up stairs, came down into the little room, • where they took from a cupboard several articles of plate; they then went into the pantry and took a cheese, Mime pork, beef, and a loaf of bread, which they put • into a bag. The men then left the house, and on going • out, one said to her that if she made a noise or came out it would be the worse for her. After the men had left the house, she called at the foot of the stairs to her mas- ter, but, not receiving any answer, concluded he had been murdered ; and, having alarmed some of her neigh- bours, they proceeded up stairs, and found the old gen- tleman quite dead. Two medical men were called in, who were of opinion that his death had been caused by suffocation. Thomas Kelsey and Wm. Farr have been committed to Gosport Bridewell on suspicion. The Pa- rish Officers of Westbourne have offered a reward of fifty pounds. An inquest has been held, when the jury, who were most respectable, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown." BOROUGH, Dec. 14.— Our Hop market re- mains without any alteration as to the currency, and but little doing— Sussex Pockets, New, 816s to 7/; Kent, < i/ Ills to 7/ 10s ; choice, higher ; East Kent, 71 to 10/ 10s; 1028, 5/ to 5112s— 1827, 70s to 7< is- 1820, 50s to OAs. CORN EXCHANGE, Monday, Dec. 14— There has been a good supply of Wheat and Flour coastwise since this day se'nnight; of the latter upwards of 13,000 sacks. This morning also, we had rather a large arrival of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk; and the trade, on the whole, was exceedingly dull at a decline of from Is. to 2s. per quarter, for all but superfine parcels. Barley fully supports our last quotation, as also Beans of both sorts ; but Grey Peas being here in some abun- dance, meet a heavy sale, at a decline of full Is. per qr. We have several fresh arrivals of Oats from Ireland this morning. The trade, however, is far from brisk, although quite as good prices are obtained.

Bread .-— Highest price of the 41b Loaf, lOd. SMITHFIELD, Dec. 14 This the Great Christmas Market is decidedly the smallest that has occurred some years in tile supply of Beef and Mutton. For the best qualities of Scots Beasts the highest price is 4s. 8d., being an advance of one shilling per stone upon the quotation of this day se'nnight, whilst choice Devons, Herefords, and other large ones readily obtain 4s. 6d. Mutton is also gone up— best Wethers freely realising 4s. Oil.; and for some very superior ones 4s. Sd. is given. Veal has had a start, prime small Calves producing 5s. 2d., and those of a larger description 4s. 8d. Pork remains at our last quotation of 4s. 8d. The business done to- day has been extensive in every- thing. It is now two o'clock, and the Market is getting very thin, with every prospect of a general clearance.

The Duke of Wellington's health, which towards the close of the last session had suffered severely, has now so much improved, that the change has sur- prised his medical attendants. His grace, however, still suffers severely from deafness, to remedy which, he uses occasionally in private society a caoutchouc ear- trumpet. — Court Journal. The Hake of Wellington visited the Siamese youths on Monday, at the Egyptian Hall, and from the number of his inquiries was evidently interested with them. . . Mr. Peel is forming a collection of paintings, • which in a few vcars will become very interesting: it is the portraits of the Ministers of this country, painted by Lawrence; that on which the artist is now engaged, is a portrait of Lord Aberdeen, which is in a state of forwardness. THE INTENDED NEW VESTRIES ACT.— A correspondent in the Times informs us that the Vestries Bill introduced last session into the House of Commons by Mr. Hobhouse, will be again brought forward at the opening of the next session. Many competent persons are now engaged, in their respective parishes, in furnish- ing documents and facts, so as to render the bill as effec- tive and perfect as possible. The Vice Chancellor has lately decided that the words " the English funds" did not include Ex- chequer Bills, and applied only to Consols. Mr. Nash, it is said, has promised his Ma- jesty that he shall dine in the new Palace on the 12th of August next. Now that the buildings adjoining St. Martin s church are removed, that edifice, when viewed from about the centre of Pall- mall East, presents one of the noblest specimens of the architecture of the last age, and from which our modern Palladios might lake a useful lesson. They have as yet created nothing like it. The new police will, it is said, bo imme- diately extended to the eastern parts of the metropolis. On Monday morning the metropolis and its environs were enveloped with a denso fog, and between M and 12 o'clock it was hardly possible to walk through the streets without danger. The shops were lighted the same as at night, and the horses of the stages coming into town were led by their drivers, the lamps not proving of the slightest use. Several accidents occurred; anil a young man named Lyon, in the employ of the statuaries of that name at Wandsworth, on his way home, fell into the river, and was drowned. The following are extracts from the foreign journals:— PARIS, Dec. 11 His Majesty the King arrived at the Tuileries about one o'clock to- day. CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. 10.— In Asia a battle has taken place between Count Paskewitch and the Seraskier of Erzerum, in which the forces of the latter have been almost annihilated. This intelligence is said to have made a great impression on the Sultan, whose sentiments gave rise to considerable apprehensions.— A few days ago we had here the rare sight of witnessing the passage of several Greek merchantmen, with the Greek flag hoisted, sailing through the great Channel into the Black Sea. They were principally laden with oil and wine. One of the most agreeable circumstances of late is the formal revocation by the Porte of the measures adopted two years ago against the Catholic Armenians. Orders from' the Sultan have been dcspatclicd to the several places in Asia Minor, which were assigned to those exiled from the capital as their place of residence, and to announce to them the permission to return to Constantinople, where they will again enjoy the free exercise of their religion. STERNBURG, Dec. 2.— The number of Members present at the Diet has been decreasing for some days, though the most of the subjects brought hefore it are not yet discussed. The new law relative to mortgages in cities was passed with a few alterations, in the sitting of November 2!!, and thus a subject concluded which lias occupied the Diet for several years. The law on the set- tlement and maintenance of the poor has caused animated debates, as the interests of the several provinces are so various. It is stated in a French Journal ( the Precur- seur) that travellers returning from the Morea report that that country is to be re- peopled by an Irish popula- tion, to whom the British Government will furnish agri- cultural instruments and all other necessaries. A correspondent in the Morning Herald writes from Paris, Dec. 12.—" The Weather here is superb, but dreadfully cold ; so far back as Thursday last I saw the surface of the basin in the garden of the Luxembourg covered with men and boys amusing themselves ' sliding;' no skater had yet made his appearance; but the frost of last night was so severe that I am sure all tile still waters in the neighbourhood of Paris are converted into blocks of ice by this time. " Trade has received a slight check in France. The manufacturers who sent goods to the last Leipsic Fair arc ruined. Still the country, generally speaking, is prosperous. In Paris business is brisk, owing to the ap- proach of Le Jour de l' An, but not so much so as I have seen it. Town fills fast, however, and, I am sorry to observe, with the usual proportion of your patriotic countrymen and countrywomen." Mauritius Gazettes to the22d Aug. have been received, from which it appears that the Protector of the Slaves at that island claims, by three public advertise- ments, the freedom of a great number of people of colour— men, women, and children— setting forth the titles, and every particular, whether founded on testa- mentary disposition, manumission, or any other ground, giving name3, dates, origin, age, occupation, and other details. Accounts from Cronstadt, of the dale of Nov. 13, state that the severe frost of the preceding night had covered the Gulf with ice in every direction, and by passing in a boat toward Cron6lot, people were enabled to go to Oranienbanm. There appeared little chance at present of the loaded- ships being able to put to sra. The Guernsey paper says that the French Government, in order to encourage the brandy distil- leries, have laid a heavy duty on foreign spirits, par- ticularly on British rum ; and that they also strictly pro- hibit the importation of foreign tobacco, in order to en- courage the culture of their own in Normandy and Britandy. Don Pedro, by the latest accounts from Rio Janeiro, had just closed the National Assembly with the following speech: " August and worthy representatives of the Brazilian nation, the session is closed." This is the extent of his harangue ! Papers and letters from Colombia to the 14th Oct. have been received, which leave no doubt of the ultimate failure of Cordova's insurrection. He was sup- posed, after the surrender of a part of his force to General O'Leary, not to have more than 40 men with him. A decree has been published by the Presi- dent of the Mexican United States, abolishing slavery in the whole extent of that Republic. We learn from a recent French paper, Le Compilateur, that, there ate now at Pans 152 journals, literary, scientific, and religious, and 17 political— in all JFIF). Of these papers 151 are Constitutional Journals; or, as they are called. Liberals. The others arc more Monarchical in their spirit. Accounts from St. Petersburg to the 29th of November state that the weather had again become mild, and the mercury had risen two degrees above the freezing point. There had arrived 835 British ships, of which 1120 had sailed. It 4MS not expected that the ships locked in by the ice would tie able to get away this season, not- withstanding the increased mildness of the atmosphere. Miss Kemble was, on theiirst night of her performing Belvidera, so ill with lumbago and general cold, that she was compelled, every time she quitted the stage, lo repose on a sofa. We understand that Mr. Kemble has already received tempting offers, from many of the large provincial theatres, for his daughter to per- form ; but it is not intended to accept any of them at present, ; is the fatigue at Covent Garden is almost too great for her constitution. Among the 70 failures which took , place among - English country bankers, in HJ25, 60 of them have paid 2lls. in tVe pound. A meeting of tlie clergy of Bath lias taken place, preparatory to the formation of a Local Board of the " Clergy Mutual Assurance Society." The object of this institution is to enable Clergymen lo prepare for the education and settlement of their children by means of mutual assurance ; and to afford them an opportunity of securing a provision for themselves, their wives, and families, when more than ordinarily needed, namely, in sickness, in old age, and in death. Misunderstanding at the Bar.— A warm alter- cation arose on Friday in the Court of Chancery between Sir Charles Wetherell arid the Solicitor- General. The case of Jervis, a lunatic, was hoard, and the affair ap- peared to he settled ; but during a short pause in the next case, Sir Charles Wetherell rose, and complained of the petition having been brought or. in his absence. The Solicitor- General begged to state that it had noi been brought on by him. Sir C. Wetherell— I beg that I may not be interrupted. ' The Solicitor- General— t only wish to assure you that there has been no want of courtesy on my part. Sir Charles Wetherell— I shall be heard, Sir; I insist on being heard. The Solicitor- General— Mr. Knight brought the case on, and very properly so. Sir C. Wetherell— I say again, that I shall be heard, Sir, and I beg not to be interrupted. The Solicitor- General— You shall not be interrupted again bv me, Sir fitting down.)— I shall not be spoken. to in such a manner by Sir Charles Wetherell, nor any man living. . Sir C. Wetherell ( turning round to the Solicitor- General, and rather in a lower tone)— Then you have your remedy. You know we cannot settle that here; but vou know you have your remedy. The Solicitor- General— If you think I am to be treated . in such a manner, you will find yourself mistaken. If you have any thing to say to me, you will find me ready. Sir C. Wetherell— Sir, vou have your remedy. The Solicitor- General hoped the Court would allow him to explain. . ' The Lord Chancellor wished to relieve the Solicitor- General from any such task, because he could state that the Solicitor- General had in fact nothing to do with what had passed. Soon after the Rev. Alexander Fletcher had commenced his sermon on Sunday evening, a lady from the excessive heat of the chapel, having fainted, a gentle- man, in order to restore her, incautiously lighted a piece of paper in the body of the chapel, but the blaze having caught bis fingers, he dropped the paper, From this circumstance an alarm of tire was immediately raised, which created such disorder among the congregation, that a simultaneous rush to effect an escape took place at every quarter of the chapel. The scene of confusion was indescribable. Two engines arrived in consequence of the alarm, and the rev. gentleman could no longer con- tinue his discourse.— Times. BIRDS.— Few naturalists of any note now believe in the submersion of swallows under water during the winter, a circumstance not long ago confided in by naturalists of the highest name, such as Daines, Barrington, Klein, and even Linnaeus himself, who talked of their assembling on reeds and on the banks of rivers, and singing their swallow song before they dived ; but were this so, our fishermen could not fail to drag some of them from their hiding places with their nets, a thing which ha3 never been known to happen. Independent of this, their physiological structure render) it impossible for them to exist for many minutes under water, and it is contrary to all analogy in the class of birds ; for not even the sea- fowl, which live constantly in the water, are able to remain any time submerged. To put an end at once to the controversy, our European swallows have been repeatedly seen crossing the Mediterranean towards Africa at their autumnal departure; and M. Adanson, who was too good a naturalist to be easily deceived, found them during the winter at Senegal. COSSACK SCHOOL.— Humboldt, in crossing Asiatic Russia, visited a Cossack military school, which exists at Amsk. This school was founded by the Em- peror Alexander, and it instructs 250 Cossack boys in mathematics, drawing, the art of laying down plans, geography, history, and the principles of natural history, so far as relates to rural economy. An Asiatic school united to the above, for the purpose of forming inter- preters, contained 18 youths, who learned the Tartar and Mongolian languages, and also, lately, the French. The Lancasterian method is followed in teaching them— The greatest order, cleanliness, and moral_ propriety prevails in the school, which is under the immediate direction of General Braniefski. On the illustrious traveller's visit, discourses were addressed to him in the Tartar, Mongolian, and Russian languages. WALKING.— Walking is the best possible exercise: habituate yourself to walk very far. The Europeans value themselves on having subdued the horse to the uses of man, but I doubt whether we have not lost more than we have gained by the use of this animal. Nothing has occasioned so much the degeneracy of the human body. An Indian goes on foot nearly as far in a day, for a long journey, as an enfeebled White does on his horse : and he will tire the best horses. A little walk of half an hour in the morning, when you first rise, is advisable. It shakes off sleep, and produces other good effects in the animal economy— Jefferson's Memoirs. Beautiful artificial Petrifactions.— Put into a retort a quantity of poundeu fluor spar, with a few bits of broken glass, and pour upon them some sulphuric acid; fluoric acid gas will be disengaged, holding silex in solution. The subjects that you wish to resemble pe- trifactions must now be moistened with water, and placed in a vessel connected with the neck of the retort. The fluoric iicid gas will be absorhed by the moisture adhering to the substances, and the silex will be piecipitatcd upon them like a sort of hoarfrost, which will have a beautiful appearance, and is very durable. In winter an elegant chimney ornament may be formed by cutting the head or thick end of a carrot, containing the bulb, and placing it in a shallow vessel with water. Young and delicateleaves unfold themselves, forming a radiated tuft of a very handsome appearance, which is heightened by conttast with the season of the year. ALTERNATIONS OF FORTUNE.— It is not gene- rally known that a young actress, who has recently made a successful hit, is the niece of a Peeress; that the nephew of a lady, who, above all others, has shared the smiles of Royalty, is now a pauper patient in one of the wards of a western hospital; and that the most eminent foreign physician who has for many years settled in England is at this time an inmate of St. Paneras workhouse. The comet first observed on its last appear- ance, in 1825, by Biels, an astronomer in Bohemia, may be again expected in the month of November, 1832, about the same time with Encke's. Among the amusements of the colonists of Mauritius, fancy and dress balls, horse races, turf clubs, and the like, seem to be the order of the day. It is stated that a descendant of the immortal Shakspeare is at present living in London, whose maiden name is Hart, and whose genealogy may be found in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1813; that she is a laudab'e example of the " ambrosial sex," having, by her in- dustry, contributed for some years to the partial support of her aged parent and a younger sister. The Smiths of Stratford- upon- Avon and the Smiths of Tewkesbury are supposed to be related in the same degree to the im- mortal bard. The value of the copyright of dramas has been exceedingly diminished within the last twenty years. Formerly five hundred pounds, and, in one or two in- stances, nearly a thousand pounds, have been given by a bookseller for a successful play ; and in those days three hundred pounds was the minimum price. Now, there is scarcely an instance, when a bookseller has been bold enough to give fifty pounds, that the result of the sale has not terminated in a loss. A new singer has excited some sensation at Vienna, and it is said that she will probably make as much noise in the musical world as Sontag. She is about 18 years old, and is the daughter of Madame Grunbaum, the vocalist. The young lady in question has just made a very successful debut, and attracts the dilettanti no less by her beauty than by her singing. Signs of the Times.— A barber was brought to Queen- square office on Saturday, charged with bur. dening ihe parish with the support of two children. It appeared that a female had left them at his house to nurse, and had neglected to take any further notice of them; whereupon he was forced to apply to the parish authorities for assistance. The barber pleaded that, owing to the distress of the times, he was unable to. afford Ihe children the least relief; for gentlemen " iiow- a- days were in the habit of being shaved only once a week, in- stead of every day. A meeting was holden on Tuesday at the London Coffee- house, for the purpose of receiving the Report of a Committee appointed at a previous meeting to procure the repeal of the Malt and Beer Duties. There is no doubt that these duties are unequal in their operation, and impolitic in principle. The high price of beer drives the working classes to the consumption of cheap gin, which enriches the revenue at the expense of the comfort and morality of the people. Hence the in- crease of crime, and a dreadful aggravation of existing misery. It cannot be denied, however, that the Malt and Beer Duties are not the sole cause of the spreading of the plague of " liquid fire," which is more destructive than any of those with which Egypt was afflicted. The brewers' monopoly, by operating to the deterioration of a wholesome and nutritious beverage, has greatly tended to lessen the demand for malt drink. This monopoly ought to be broken down, and the licensing system abo- lished. How does it happen that the advocates of " free trade" take no steps to procure a " free trade" in beer ? — Morning Herald. At the above meeting a Mr. Green, who stated that he had been a practical brewer, produced the following calculations :— Taking the porter to be sold at Sd. a pot, the price of 135 gallons of porter to a consumer would be exactly 11/. 5s. That amount was made up thus:— A quarter of malt, which, according to the average of the metropolitan breweries, yielded 135 gallons of Porter .'. £ 3 8 0 Duty on beer 114 4,5 Bibs, of hops 0 8 0 Victualler's expenses and profit on the sale, \ 2 17 8 at 5a. per quart J Brewer's expences 2 lfi 11 j Total £ 11 5 0 A correspondent, who writes on the extra- ordinary consumption of gin by the lower classes, states, that he watched one shop in Holborn, of great business, and saw, on the average, six individuals enter per mi- nute, being equal to 3( i0 in an hour !— Times. Lately, at Berlin, an ingenious mechanic was prevented by the Police from putting over his door, " Wooden leg maker to his Majesty, the Princes, and Princesses." In a case de lunatico inrjuirendo on Monday last, which possessed not the least public interest, during the examination of Mr. Lawrence the surgeon, the fol- lowing colloquy took place:- Sir C. Wetherell tinterrupting Mr. Lawrence)— Well, to go back to the thorax. Mr. Brougham— Mr. Lawrence has not said a word about the thorax. Mr. Lawrence said he had onlv mentioned the throat. Sir C. Wetherell— Well, it is the same thing. Mr. Brougham— Throat is not thorax. ( Laughter.) The Bishop of Bristol has addressed a letter to his clergy, expressing his disapproval of the projected college at Bristol, because it docs not provide for the erection of a chapel in which divine worship shall be performed for the members of the Church of England, nor for the president's or preceptor's in theology, being a member of the Established Church, and a graduate of one of the universities. An extraordinary instance of the want of unity in the execution of the details of Government matters, has recently occurred here. The large space of ground on which our theatre stands has long been in the market for sale, the proprietors of which offered it to Government for the enlargement of the Cambridge Barracks. This offer being rejected, a respectable indi- vidual gave 4000 guineas for it. No sooner, however, is it in new hands, than Government finds that it requires it, and gives 30007. for the back part from High- street, leaving the purchaser the frontage land to the depth of eighty feet for building on. Government, now finding an entrance into the High- street absolutely necessary, has since purchased enough of this frontage, for the purpose required, for 15001., leaving the speculator a handsome por- tion of building land for his venture— Portsmouth paper. As the Rev. Dr. Joseph Munoz de Stomayor was passing along the City- road, on Saturday, he was suddenly seized with a paralytic fit. In the opinion of the medical men who have attended him, his disease is entirely to be attributed to the change in his manner of living, and the distressed situation to which he has been reduced— from a rich Spanish Abad, or Rector, to an emigrant, depending for existence upon the bounty of the English Government, from whom he receives 15 shillings a week. During the Spanish war of indepen- dence, his whole income, equal to 10,0110/. a year in this country, was frequently, for months together, expended in hospitality to the British troops. A man of the name of Franklin, landlord of the Curriers' Arms, Bishop's Stortford, has been com- mitted to prison, charged, on the Coroner's warrant, with the wilful murder of his wife. It appears that they had bad some words, when the husband beat her so unmerci- fully, that she expired in less than an hour afterward. The wife is said to have been guilty of drinking to excess, and that in consequence they had led an uncomfortable life for some time past. An organ has been opened in the Church Methodist Chapel at Beverley, the gift of the Rev. J. Coltman. The Archbishop of York has authorized the Rev. J. Coltman, the Rev. U. R. Gilby, and other cler- gymen to preach in this chapel, for the instruction of the Sunday scholars.. The Chevalier Aldini, whose apparatus as a preservative against the action of fire has received the highest suffrages, has departed for England, with a view to make known his useful invention in that country— Paris paper. According to the Bavarian law, whenever a piece of land is left uncultivated, any individual may give notice to the proprietor of his intention to till the same; and if within a twelvemonth after, the proprietor does not himself bring the land in question into tillage, he is obliged to submit to the transfer of his land., at a valuation, to the individual giving notice as aforesaid. The following occurrence, which took place at Bow- street, called forth from the presiding magistrate, Thos. Halls, Esq., very strong animadversions upon the conduct of parish officers:— A very decent woman,! about 30 years of age, arrived at the office door in a hackney coach, in the care of the beadle of St. Clement Danes, for the purpose of being removed to her legal settlement, Paddington. The poor creature was so ill that she could hardly crawl from the coach to the public office; and Mr. Halls, though he had not the remotest idea of the real cause of her illness, humanely suspended other business to despatch her removal. After taking the usual oath she appeared to be much worse; and on de- scending the steps she fell into premature labour, and brought forth a child. The beadle lifted her into the coach; in the dreadful situation in which she was, and took her instantly to Paddington, leaving the child, which appeared to have retained life for some time, on the pavement. The keeper of Bow- street office removed the child, and informed Mr. Halls of the circumstance. Mr. Halls expressed himself quite indignant that the woman should have been removed in her situation, and complained that the overseers, instead of attending them selves before the magistrates in person, or by some proper representative, sent a beadle only. Mr. Crooke, the acting overseer, was sent for; when Mr. Halls informed him that the overseers should most unquestionably be held responsible if the poor woman's life should be sa- crificed by their misconduct.

JL containing the life of ALEXANDER THE GREAT, By the Rev. JOHN WILLIAMS, M. A., Rector of the Edinburgh Academy. John Murray, Albermarle- street. " Whatever new light could be thrown on any parti- cular point of Alexander's career, by a most strict exami- nation of all the original writings of the Greeks and Romans— whatever could be gathered from the literature of the Arabs and Persians— above all, whatever Ihe Works of Modern European Travellers could supply, all this may be found concentrated in one handy little volume of the Family Library. We are greatly mis- taken if this little volume do not become a school book. It is far better fitie. l for that purpose than any one of recent publication with which we have chanced to meet. It will no doubt become a great favourite among young pel sons engaged in the delightful career of classical study; but we are bound to add, that it deserves a place in the collection of the more mature reader, and is in fact a per- manent addition to the stock of standard histories in the English tongue."— Literary Gazette. " The present biography, from the pen of that WELL- known scholar and estimable gentleman, the Rev. Mr. Williams, is an attempt to supply, and we believe for the first time, that desideratum in English classical lite- rature, a correct history of Alexander the Great. The task, one of no slight difficulty, has been executed with consummate skill, and is among the most fascinating specimens of biography we have ever had the good fortune to peruse."— Sun.

POWELL's BALSAM of ANISEED, under the immediate Patronage of several of th « most distinguished Nobility and Gentry in the Kingdom, in bottles at l » . l. Jd. and 2s. 3d. each." This invaluable Medicine has the extraordinary pro. perty of immediately relieving Coughs, Colds, Hoarse- ness, difficulty of Breathing, and Huskiness in the Throat. It operates by dissolving the congealed phlegm, conse- quently causing a free expectoration. Those who are troubled with that unpleasant tickling in the throat which deprives them of rest night after night by the incessant cough which it provokes, will, by taking one dose, find immediate relief; and one bottle in most cases will effect a cure. Numerous cases have come to the Proprietor's know- ledge, where young people have been troubled with coughs, spitting of blood, and gradual wasting away, with every appearance of going into a decline ; who, by taking two or three bottles, have been entirely cured. In Asthmas, Chronic Coughs, difficulty of Breathing, & c. no pen can describe the wonders that' have been per- formed by this invaluable Medicine; many, who for years have been unable to lie down in their beds with- out a danger of being choked by an accumulation of phlegm, ( which invariably causes a dreadful cough); others, who with difficulty could breathe at all in a re- cumbent posture, have by taking one dose of this excel- lent Balsam, been enabled to lie down comfortably in their beds. But the testimonials of those who have ex- perienced its wonderful effccts, will do more to recom- mend and insure it the support of the Public, than any thing the Proprietor can say in its favour ; and by par- ticular request he hat published the following extraordi- nary cases:— Mr. Wright, of Mile End Road, was many years afflicted with cough, shortness of breath, and sense of suffocation, whenever he attempted to lie down in bed owing to the great accumulation of viscid phlegm, which he was unable to expectorate— he had tried every means to obtain relief, but without effect— he could get no sleep, but in his arm- chair, in this stale he continued to linger, without any hope of recovery, his friends expecting that every fit of coughing would terminate his existence ; at length he was prevailed upon to try a bottle of Balsam, and tvery extraordinary!) half an hour after the first dose lie was enabled to lie d iwn in his bod ; aud befure he had taken three bottles, was perfectly cured. Miss Thomas, of Union- street. Borough, after labour- ing under a violent cough and shortness of bre. t'l for several winters, was quite cured by taking one bottle. Mrs. Carter, of Clapham, was entirely cured of a dreadful cough, by taking one bottle, although she was so bad that her friends concluded that she was going into a decline. Mr. Thompson, of Camberwell. was upwards of 20 yesrs troubled wit i confirmed aat'ima, iir. d found no relief until he took tho Balsam; lie has been q, i j com- fortable ever since.

This preparation has long been in extensive use, and has been singularly be- neficial in a great variety of painful and distressing cases, which had obstinately resisted the customary and ap- proved modes of treatment. The Proprietor's assurance of its efficacy has been strengthened and confirmed by a number of respectable testimonials and certificates of its virtues, from persons whose sight has been restored, ot who have been greatly relieved by its use; a few of which are herewith pub- lished for Ihe salisfaction of the public. MR. BRUTON, SIR,— In justice to you and the excellent qualities of your Ointment, 1 hereby certify that my two Children were afflicted fur nearly two years with a violent Inflam- mation in their Eyes, but after using three boxes of your Ointment they were perfectly cured.

DORSET, AND SOMERSET Friday's Post. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, Dec. 14. YESTERDAY, at noon, Te Deum was performed m the Greek chapel of the Russian Legation, for the re- establishment of the health of the Emperor Nicholas. The number of Russians at this moment at Paris, and who were all present, was con- siderable. Count Pozzo di Borgo will give, on Friday next, a grand dinner and ball, in honour of ihe féte of his Sovereign. A letter from Rome, of Nov. 30, says, " The canoni- zation of the late Clotilda of France, Queen of Sardinia, 6ister of their Most Christian Majesties Louis XVIII. and Charles X., will take place as soon as possible. It is said that the Court of Turin will deposit one hundred thousand Roman crowns, required for the purchase of the draperies, adorned with gold, as well as the expense of carpenters' work for scaffoldings, for the orchestra, illuminations, fire- works, salutes of artillery from tile castle of St. Angelo, and other expenses required for the pious and pompous ceremony of this beatification. BELGRADE, NOV. 27.— Accounts from Constantinople of the 1 Otli say that the greatest tranquillity prevails there, and that commerce daily becomes more and more active ; many ships of all nations are continually arriving. It is said that some Greek merchantmen, which had hoisted their colours, were at first refused admission to the Dardanelles, and that this led to some disputes, which were arranged by the intervention of the English Consul; and it was agreed that tile Greek ships should be allowed to enter the Dardanelles on condition of their not hoisting the Greek flag. London, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence left their residence in Bushy Park on Monday on a visit to Mr. and the Honourable Mrs. Hope, at their residence at Deepdene, near Dorking, Surrey. The Duke of Wel- lington left town on Tuesday for Deepdene, to join their Royal Highnesses. The Duke of Wellington arrived in town on Wednesday. . Wednesday was the birth- day of Prince Leopold, when his Royal Highness completed his 39th Horse Guards, Dec. 7, 1829— It having been represented to the General Commanding- in- Chief that, in many regiments, both leather gloves and cap- covers are worn by the men, Lord Hill desires that both may be immediately discontinued; the former being an article not sanctioned by the King's regulations, which limit the provision to mitts on all occasions ; and the latter entail- ling a charge upon the soldier, which, in Lord Hill's opinion, is not borne out by the utility of the article. Demolition of St. Dunstan's Church, Fleet- street.— On Wednesday the first public sale of the ma- terials of the above ancient church took place in the inquest- room. An iron standard, with copper vane, warranted IS50 vears old, after much competition, sold for 11. Is.; it weighed - 5 cwt. The turret sold for 10s. only ; and the flag and flag- staff produced only 12s. Next week the two wooden figures placed in the pedi- ment in front of the church, representing savages, and who, by striking a bell with their clubs, indicate the quarters of the hour, will cease to be the " striking wonder of the metropolis. The latest accounts from New Orleans ( of 1st Nov.) intimate that the health of the place had con- siderably improved, and that its port was assuming an appearance of activity, from the arrival of a number ot vessels as well from England as from the ports on the Atlantic side of the United States. The Brussels papers state that the liberty of the press is to be curtailed in that country. Sydney Papers to the 5th of July have been received, which state that the prospects of the agricul- turist were of the most favourable character, the weather having been exceedingly propitious. Money was be- coming more abundant in the colony; and this state of things had been in some degree brought about by the arrival of some emigrants with specie instead of goods. Farming stock of all descriptions was exceedingly low. Prime bullocks sold at 21. a head. All sorts of produce were most abundant. Rents were, however, very high. The accounts from Van Diemen's Land to the end of June mention that the reduction of the duty on rapeseed oil had given much satisfaction. The German papers received from Berlin, of the 2d Dec., contain the following account of the cause of the Emperor Nicholas's late illness:— The Em- peror and his August Consort sleep in the same wing of the palace. Between the bed- rooms on each side, in which the Princes and Princesses also sleep, next to their Majesties, is a large apartment or gallery, the floor of which is highly polished. During the night one of their Majesties' children, rising up in bed, threw down a vase which stood on a bracket. The great noise caused by the fall roused his Majesty from his sleep. He leaped out of bed in much alarm, and hastened to the room from which the noise proceeded, but slipped in the gal- lery and fell. The fright, the fall on his forehead, and the cold which he caught, produced his Majesty's indis- position. During the nights of the 21st and 22d of Nov. a most violent storm was experienced at Gibraltar, and the coast was strewed with the remains of wrecks. A soldier on the rock was blown into the sea and drowned; and on the 20th the bad weather still continued. Public attention lias been painfully directed during the last few weeks to the attempt to colonise Fer- nando Po. The expedition which was sent to that island, tinder the command of Col. Nicholls, the Civil Governor, appears to have suffered greatly from the unhealthiness of the climate. Of forty marines who were on board the Eden, thirty- one have died, and the death of the Governor is also reported. Three- fourths of the men are reported dead, and there are returns almost equally cala- mitous as to the officers and surgeons. In fact, it seems impossible to hold these African colonies without a fear- ful sacrifice of human life. To show the great difference of the estimated value of landed property in different parts of England, we give the result of the sale of two estates on Tuesday in the city.— A freehold farm in the parish of Godstone, Surrey, comprising a good farmhouse, numerous agri- cultural buildings, gardens, orchards, and 229 acres of meadow, pasture, arable, and wood land, and producing a rental of 1501, per annum, was sold at Garraway's for 3J30/.— At the Mart, a freehold estate, producing the same rental, situate in the parish of Great Glenn, Leices- tershire, consisting of a sporting residence, farm build- ings, and ! I7 acres of land, was knocked down at 41150/. — A leasehold house and shop, No. 186, Strand, two doors from Arundel- street, held for 21 years at 15/. ? round rent per annum, was sold at the same time for 210/.— Morning Herald. As a proof of the grievous depression of agri- culture, it is said that at a letting of some of the farms belonging to the Corporation of Boston the other day, not a single bidder could be found, although the farms were offered at considerably lower rents than the tenants held them for in the leases which have just expired. Much Ado about Nothing was acted at Covent Garden theatre on Tuesday evening. Miss Foote appeared as Beatrice, and played that delightful part in a manner perfectly worthy of it. The well- bred playfulness and graceful gaiety which she, better than most actresses, knows so well how to express, are the very essence of this character, and have scarcely ever been more agreeably displayed. The whole performance was highly effective, and deserved the general applause it obtained. The other parts were extremely well sustained. The Duke of Wellington and the Earl of Aberdeen witnessed the performance of Miss Fanny Kemble, as Belvidera in Venice Preserved, on Wednes- day evening, at Covent- garden theatre. We feel great pleasure in publishing the fol- lowing instances of liberality General Birch Reynard- son, of Holywell, near Stamford, has reduced his rents ] 5 per cent— Sir John Trollope, of Casewick, near Stam- ford, returned 15 percent, at the last half- yearly audit.— Col. Reeve, of Leadenham, returned, at his last audit, 15 • per cent, to his tenants— J. Turnor, Esq., of Stoke, lias returned 20 per cent, to his tenantry, at Coningsby.— Sir G. Heathcote has made a similar reduction.— The Rev. J. Banks, of Bellevue Lodge, Spilsby, has returned 20 per cent, upon his tithes— The Rev. Thos. Harvey, rector of Cowden, lias returned 20 per cent, to the farmers of his parish.— The Rev. G. Beal, at his late tithe- audit, re- turned 20 per cent to his tenants, at Chiddingstone, Kent. .— At the audit on Tuesday last, the Right Hon, the Earl of Winchilsea and Nottingham generously returned 15 per cent, to his Lordshp's tenants on their respective rents— These few are but a selection from the lists with which the journals are crowded. The winnings of plates actually run for during the preseut year amount to 150,740/. lis. lid. A HUMOROUS CIRCUMSTANCE.— A. few days ago as Gallagher, the ventriloquist, alighted from the Cork coach in Dawson- street, Dublin, he gave a curious specimen of his art. A very large travelling trunk was given to a huge lump of a fellow, of the name of Sweeney, to leave it at Mr. G.' s residence; the trunk being so very heavy obliged Sweeney to rest himself of the corner of the street, when, to his utter amazement, an unknown voice was heard from within the trunk roaring at a tre- mendous rate—" Murder, murder,— Och, Sweeney, for God's sake let me out!" Poor Sweeney ran from the trunk as if tiled— seized him, and in a few minutes had a mob surrounding Gallagher. One fellow, of the name of Kelly, swore that the ventriloquist was no other per- son than Hare, who smothered people to supply the Scotch doctors. The laugh of the matter is, that they were marching Gallagher and his trunk, well guarded, to College- street Office, until he opened it in the street to satisfy a furious rabble.— Freeman's Journal. The following is aflixed to a portrait in the window of a print shop in New- street, Covent- garden:— " Lawyers' heads cheap." SINGULAR FISH !— A short time since a cele- brated journal stated, that in dragging a certain pond in Warwickshire, a turnpike was caught weighing 221bs.— Cheltenham Chronicle. Proposals, for the Improvement of the Condition of the Labourers on the Property of E. B. PORTMAN, ESQ. LAND.— Each parishioner who is capable of cultivating land, may rent as much as he and his family can properly manage, according to the conditions of a lease. HOUSES.— Each parishioner, who is independent of the parish, may have a spot of land whereon to buiid a cot- tage, according to a plan to be agreed upon, and to be supplied with rough stone and timber, according to the conditions of a lease.— Prizes will be given at the end of seven years, to the person whose land and cottage shall be in the best order, and also to the second best of each class.

A supply for three, six, or twelve months will he delivered, il required: but no ad- ditional supply will be allowed until the time, for which it is calculated to last, has expired. CLOTHING.— Each parishioner contributing one penny per week, or four pence per month, may receive at the end of each year the amount of the accumulated sum in such clothing, except hats and shoes, as he or she may desire, with such addition thereto as their conduct throughout the year may incline the managers to award from the charity fund : provided that on the first of November, each contributor declares to the treasurer what kind of clothing is desired. The distribution to be made on the first of December. Any person selling the same, not allowed to contribute in future. Any refusal to account for the clothes, if required, will be consi- dered as an improper sale.

There will be six eclipses in the ensuing year, but only one of them visible in this country. This will be an eclipse of the Moon, and it will be total: it will occur in September. The total darkness will last an hour and a half— Amongst the occultations in the year, is one of the planet Venus. Though England be justly admired for its general liberty, yet there is no country on earth where more frequent cases of individual oppression occur, and that too under the mask of that veiy law which we are told deals justice to all alike. Though wealth be the real standard of worth in England, yet its possession is not always a protection to personal liberty, as may be inferred from the daily cases of alleged lunacy which are got. up at the instance of interested parties, who conspire to send a relative to a Lunatic Asylum for the remainder of his life, that they may live upon his property. A s nothing is more easy than to impute madness to an eccentric or ner- vous individual, it seems that the process is as easy to be put into practice, for the certificate of a medical man, obtained upon mere representation, is conclusive Iroof of insanity, and the wretch is deprived of personal liberty forthwith. If his mind was before sensitive, he soon gets melancholy cause for rousing his temperament into all the irritating symptons of confirmed insanity— the world closes upon the unhappy victim— and the task is done.— Sun. HERCULANEUM.— The following are some of the results of the researches recently made by the Go- vernment of Naples in the ruins of Herculaneum:— They have discovered the most splendid private house of the ancients ever seen by modern eyes. It has a suite of chambers, with a court in the centre. There is a part of the mansion allotted to the females, a garden surrounded by arcades and columns, and a grand saloon, which pro- bably served for the meeting of the family. Another house was very remarkable, from the quantity and nature of the provisions found in it, none of which had been disturbed for eighteen centuries. The family was, in all likelihood, laying in provisions for the winter when the city was overwhelmed. The provisions consist of dates, chestnuts, large walnuts, dried figs, almonds, prunes, corn, oil, peas, lentils, pics, and hams. The interna, arrangement of the house announced that it had belonged to a rich family, and to admirers of the arts ; for there were discovered many pictures, representing Polyphemus and Galatea, Hercules and the three Hesperides, Cupid and a Bacchante, Mercury and Io, Perseus killing Me- dusa; also vases, and articles in glass, bronze, and terra cotta, as well as medallions in silver, representing, in relief, Apollo and Diana. The Prussian State Gazette, of Dec. 11, con- tains the following article, dated St. Petersburg, Dec. 2: On the 28th of last month the Imperial Academy of Sciences had an extraordinary meeting, in honour of the illustrious traveller, Baron Alexander Von Humboldt, on his happy return from his journey in Lobeira. After the reading of several interesting papers by different members of the Academy, Baron Von Humboldt de- lighted the company by a most animated account of the results of his scientific expedition. The numerous audi- ence listened with the most profound attention for above an hour to the instruction and discourse of the great naturalist, and paid a just tribute of admiration to his multifarious knowledge, his acute spirit of investigation, and the eloquence of the language that flowed from his lips. LITERARY DISCOVERY.— Among the letters now lying at the Post- office, which cannot be delivered because the residence of the party to whom they are directed is not known, is one addressed, " Samuel John- son, LL. D., Author of a Dictionary;" and it would appear, from what is written on the board ill which this address is inserted, that some person having filled in a direction with his pencil, the postman has been sent to a house in the City, in search of the Doctor, who has been dead a few days more than 45 years. REMAINS OF THE MAMMOTH.— An Ohio paper states, that in excavating the canal, near Nashport, through the ridge that divides the waters of Licking and Wahatomaka, some remains of the Mammoth have been discovered, such as tusks, grinders, and some of the smaller bones. Mr. Edward Caird, of Arbroath, has publicly announced that the Millennium is to take place on the 29th February, 1832, at 55 minutes 30 seconds past p. m. !— Scotsman. On Sunday Sarah Jane Manley was fined 5s. and costs, for being in a state of intoxication, and for im- proper conduct in the streets of this city; and, in default of payment, she was confined in the stocks for two hours on Monday. This is the third time that this incorrigible person has been fined for the same kind of offence as that for which she has just been made so disgraceful a spectacle.— Bath Chron. Desperate Affray between Poachers and Game- keepers.— Between 2 and 3 o'clock on the morning of Sunday last, the gamekeepers in the employ of Mr. Heneage, came in contact with six poachers, armed with bludgeons and guns, in Hookham wood, in the parish of Lyneham, Wilts; four of whom, after considerable re- sistance, were secured, and have since been committed to the Old Bridewell, Devizes. Their names are James Wells, Joseph Webb, Wm. Dolman, and Wm. Fowler; all of whom are severely wounded. From their appear- ance when they were brought to the prison, it might have been imagined, that they had just escaped from a slaughter- house; they were covered with blood. Webb's left hand, our informant states, is cut almost to pieces. The right hand of Fowler has been run through with a cutlass; he has also been cut in several other places; another has two severe gashes in his head; and the fourth is wounded in various parts. Most of the keepers are also wounded. A gentleman who came up the Humber the week before last, saw a flight of wild swans, among which were several black or dark- coloured ones; they flew at a great height.— Hull Packet. From a paragraph in one of the early num- bers of " The Gentleman's Magazine," it appears that on the 27th of October, 1736, a carpenter, named Robin- son, and a bricklayer, whose name was Medway, con- tracted to build Fleet Market ( which within the last few weeks has been removed) by the Midsummer following, for the sum of 3,970/. THREATENING LETTER.— The Isle of Port- land has been in a ferment, in consequence of a threaten- ing letter having been written to Governor Penn, con- taining the usual alternative of those sort of communica- tions— namely, " blood or money." The pecuniary de- mand was for 50/. which was directed to be deposited in a place in the " New Walk." The letter was left at the Castle Hall by a man roughly dressed, whoso face was partly concealed by a large woollen neckcloth, and whose whole appearance left, no doubt, on the terrified recollec- tions of those who saw him, the image of a Rugantino. The Governor, who is very aged and infirm, having con- sulted with his friends on this mysterious communication, was advised to deposit a cheque tor 50/. in the spot pointed out in the letter— there it was found by a labourer passing by, who carried it to the Castle. Those who were on the watch saw a lady immediately afterwards come up and examine the seat, but no suspicion fell upon her: there was subsequently a reward of 100/. offered for the apprehension of the offender. Gordon, an officer from Bow- street, was sent down upon application to the office, and was led, from several circumstances, to advise the apprehension of the lady. She confessed having written the letter, and that she was induced to do so by distress. She is said to be a lady of attractive person ami consider- able accomplishments, who had heretofore borne a re- spectable character in society. From motives of huma- nity she has been allowed to banish herself from the island.

By the successful mode of Treatment adopted by Dr. SPENCE, a regular Physician, and Member of the first College in Scotland, upwards of 840 persons, severely afflicted with disease, have been restored^ to perfect health, at his Residence in SALISBURY, during the last eight years and a half, after having made trial of every aid they could procure in the country and Lon- don, and a numerous train of advertised nostrums, puffed off as a cure for all disorders, chiefly intended to dupe the credulous, which he can prove by the most un- questionable reference ; and from tiie aid of a late valu- able Discovery relative to the curative property of certain Medicines received from America and other Foreign Parts, and their efficacy, which he has had a convincing proof of, undertakes, with positive assurance, to cure the most hopeless cases of General or Local Debility, Breaking up of the System, with Dropsical Swellings of the Legs, attended with Nervous Weakness, and Lassi- tude of the entire frame, bad Digestion and Disordered Liver and Bowels, and restore the Stomach and other internal parts of the body to a healthy and vigorous state, which such as may apply to him will soon experience; they will find them act as a charm in preference to any other medicine hitherto known, in relieving them ; and has received other foreign medicine that will act in like manner, for the cure of Asthma and Consumption, if the latter disorder will admit of a cure by medical treatment.

Seven Individuals in a state of hopeless despair, af- flicted with Nervous Weakness and Debility, have been restored to health and vigour, during the last two months, by the late discovery alluded to.

Gaz, " No expense seems to have been spared to render ' The Gem' what it really is, a gem of intrinsic value." Bell's Messenger. London: Published by W.

ANew and enlarged SERIES of this Paper, with an ANNUAL INDEX, being No. I., Vol. III., will be published on Saturday, January the 2d, and on Monday, January the 4th, 1830. This Paper is now enlarged from twenty- four to thirty- two columns, and contains ONE- FOURTH MORE than it formerly contained. It is thus considerably extended, in order to give the most copious miscellany and varied intelligence, and to afford a more ample space for the Parliamentary Debates in the ensuing session. As this Paper has been established between thirty, and forty years, its general principles and plan are too well known to require any detailed explanation. It is studi- ously adapted to become a Family Journal, as all articles are excluded which might offend the decency of private circles. Its object is to be sound and right in Religion, Politics, and the Business of common life; and to expa- tiate with truth, boldness, and independence, upon every subject of public interest. Impartiality, not nominal, but real, has always distinguished this Journal. BELL'S WEEKLY MESSENGER is published in Lon- don every Saturday Afternoon, time enough to be de- spatched by the Mails, and to be received on Sunday Morning at the distance of 150 miles from London. The Monday Edition, containing the Corn and Cattle Markets, and the Foreign Continental Markets of Europe, together with a most copious Price Current, is admirably adapted for the Farmer, Grazier, Merchant, and Trades- man, and all persons concerned either in wholesale or retail trade. In addition to the markets, this edition con- tains all the other intelligence of a weekly paper. Persons commencing the New Year, and desirous of taking in a paper which will make a handsome annual volume, should commence with No. I. of the new and enlarged Series of this Paper.

Tlie Duke of Wellington left town on Thursday morning fur his seat at Strathfieldsay, Hants— Mr. Se- cretary Peel, and Mrs. Peel, left town in the afternoon for Strathfieldsay, on a visit to his Grace and the Duchess of Wellington. Prince Leopold left town on Thursday for the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, at Stratfieldsaye, Hants, to spend a few days shooting • with his Grace. A select party of the Nobility and Gentry have been invited to meet his Royal Highness. Paris Papers down to Wednesday arrived on Thursday. The Constitutlonnel conuins an article, said to be written from St. Petersburgh, which 6peaks of con- tinued activity in the Russian Government, particularly ill the department of Foreign Affairs and of War, and of a new organization of the Army. But there is, we conceive, nothing in this intelligence worth a moment's consideration. An article in the French papers, dated St. Petersburg, Dec. 2, says, The frost beinj now fully set in, the navigation is closed. Commerce bus been very active this year, a « appenrs from the following compnintive lists:— in i. S28, 1200 vessels arrived there, and 121) 1 sailed from thence ; in 1829, I50T arrived, aud H88 sailed. The Journal du Rouen of the 14th announces the death of the Chancellor d'Ambrey, at his seat at Montigney, of a disorder of which he had already had several attacks. Accounts from Vienna, of the 5tli inst. state that her Majesty the Archduchess Maria Louisa of Parma is seriously indisposed. The English Ambassador has given a splendid entertainment to the principal Turkish Functionaries, on hoard his Majesty's ship Blonde. The Ottoman Grandees appear to have adopted upon that occasion the customs of Western Europe. It is understood that the object of Don Miguel's journey to Madrid is his marriage there to a younger daughter of the King of Naples, who has accom- panied her sister to that capital, who, about this time, is the fourth Queen given to his kingdom by the beloved Ferdinand. The Courrier de Smyrne, of the 1st of Nov. moralizes on the late events in Turkey, and takes conso- lation that the territory given up will not affect the vita- lity of the Empire, nor make any material diminution in its real strength; " which," says the writer, " consists rot in the dead earth, but in the art of animating it, which is the secret of power." Accounts from Modena, dated the 1st inst. mention that M. Ribeaupierre has sailed to resume the functions which he previously exercised at the Ottoman Porte, as Ambassador from the Russian Court. He em- barked on board the Princess Eliza, on the 28th ultimo, in a very heavy sea, llis Excellency allowed several English gentlemen to sail to Constantinople in his frigate. It is slated, in letters from Colombia, dated the 22d of October, received in France, that the friends of Bolivar propose to obtain an act of Congress, vesting the Presidency in Bolivar for life. At the date of the last accounts, he was at a considerable distance in Peru. It, however, does not seem that these letters are entitled to any great credit, and a variety of rumours and state- ments, during the present disturbed state of Colombia, will obtain. No further particulars are known respecting Cordova. Letters from Tampico, of the 10th September, state that the hurricane of the 10th had been tremendous, uprooting the largest trees, demolishing many of the houses, and causing terrible devastation. Half the town of Pueblo Viego de Tampico had been destroyed. There is a report that three Professors of the University of Berlin will shortly go over to the Catholic Church. The frost has been already sufficiently severe at Amsterdam and at the Helder for the Y and the Amstel to be covered with ice. Several vessels bound to the interior have been stopped by the frost. For several weeks past we have had occasion to remark upon the extraordinary sums of money laid out at Boston in the purchase of corn ; it has been lately most surprising that the amazing quantity was still kept up, and that the weekly sales should rather increase than diminish ; we have this week again to record a tremen- dous sale, exceeding any former week this year, and many— very many years previously. The total amount of com sold, from Monday to Saturday last, according to the Inspector' streturn, is lii, 2H4 pounds. — Boston Gazette. THE KING'S THEATRE.— A letter has been received from M. Laporte, directing that preparations shall be made for the opening this delightful place of amusement. Among those already concluded are, we understand, Pasta, Lalande, Lablache, and a contr1 alto of more than ordinary power. Curioni will also resume his old station.— The season will begin with ail opera of Pacini's entitled Gla. Rabbi, and the favourite ballet of Massaniello. COVENT- GARDEN THEATRE.— Mrs. Cowley's comedy of Which is the Man ? was played at this house on Thursday evening, for the purpose of allowing Miss Foots to support the character of Lady Bell Bloomer, and to ennble Miss Nelson lo make her first appearance in Sophy Pendragon. The former lady, clolhed with " beau- teous smiles," did all the representative of a lady of fashion could require, whilst ( he latter supported the second 11 country girl" with more lhan her wonted discretion. The Hon. G. Petre was sworn in last week Alderman of York.

Southhampton. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19. The Gazette of Tuesday announced that a new writ had been ordered for the election of a member to serve in Parliament for this town, in the room of Wm. Chamberlayne, Esq, deceased. For some days during the past week this town has been the scene of that excitement, which too often characterizes popular elections. The public- houses have been opened, party colours suspended from the committee- rooms of the candidates, and ribbons and beer given away to the populace. On Thursday morning, at 10 o'clock, the remains of our late respected Representative were conveyed from Weston- Villa to the Church on Pear- tree Green, where they were deposited in a vault at the west end. The funeral was of a private character. A coffin, covered with black velvet, bore the following inscription :—" William Chamberlayne, Esquire, Member of Parliament for Southampton, died December 9, 1829, aged 68 years." During the time of the interment, almost universal re- spect was paid to the memory of the deceased by closing tlie shops. On Tuesday the 15th inst. was married, at All Saints Church, by the Rev.

The Council Chamber of this city was on Friday and Saturday converted into a bazaar for the sale of fancy articles, made by the ladies of Salisbury and its vicinity, who have generously interested them- selves in thesuccess of our Infant School. Weare happy to state, that the result has proved highly satisfactory, even more so than these ladies could have . anticipated. Our theatre opened for the season on Wed- nesday. We were happy to meet our old friends, Messrs. Penson, Harrington, Harris, & c. once more. These an- nual visits are very pleasant things ; and, satisfied as we are, that the patronage of the drama is one of the surest signs of the progress of refinement, and that occasional attendance on dramatic representations may be made a source of delightful and innocent recreation, we trust to meet within the walls of the Salisbury theatre overflowing and approving audiences. We think the talents of the present company far above mediocrity. There is Mrs. Harris as lively as ever; and there is a sweet little girl, Miss Frances, with a face like an angel, a bewitching archness and simplicity of manner, and talents which, if properly cultivated, will one day place her at the head of her profession in a metropolitan theatre. To witness her performance alone is worth all the entrance money On Friday we had a new comedy, called Love anil Reason, and the Pilot, with storms, broadsword combats, battles, & c. & c— We may confidently recommend our friends to hasten to New- street, where they will not only be pleased themselves, but be the means of rendering those whom they visit as happy as full houses can make the delighted performer. We hear with much pleasure, that Miss Childe will sing at Mr. Lucas's Concert, on Tuesday next, the beautiful recitative and air, 14 Ah come rapide from Il Crociato, which gained her so much applause at the London Concerts ; also the charming Ballad of " Alice Gray," which she has been singing at Oxford, Brighton, & c. with unbounded applause, and the beautiful Duet of " Si un estante " with Mr. Seguin, to whom is allotted the Grand Scena, " Sergetto," and " Friend of the Brave." The Treasurer of the Salisbury Infirmary has Intely received front Mrs. M. A. King, the executrix of the late Mrs. Sarah Vangban, the sum of fifty pounds, being the amouut of a legacy bequeathed by her to that Institution. We understand that the interesting cabinet of wax- work now exhibiting in Castle- street will close at the end of this week. Dorchester theatre opened on Wednesday- evening, under the management of Messrs. Shatford and Lee, with The Rivals, and Love Laughs at Locksmiths. The theatre lias been decorated in a style which displays much taste, and the performances gave great satisfaction' The show at the Gillingham Cattle Market, on Friday, the 11th instant, was most numerously and respectably attended ; a number of beasts and stock of a prime description, as well as several pens of sheep, were entered for the premiums, which were respectively awarded, to general satisfaction, by the judges appointed on the occasion, who were Mr. John Bennett, of Shaftes- bury ; Mr. Thomas Roberts, of Gillingham ; and Mr. Robert Burge, of Stalbridge.

SALISBURY INFIRMARY, Saturday, Dec. 19 In- patients: admitted 7, discharged 18 Out- Patients: admitted 18, discharged 5— Patients in the House 80. To the Editor of the Salisbury and Winchester Journal- SIR,— A requisition has been presented to the Wor- shipful the Mayor of Salisbury, to solicit him to call a meeting of persons who are interested in the intended application to Parliament, by the Churchwardens and Overseers of this city, for the purpose of rating the owners of houses under the rent of 201, a year, instead of the occupiers, or rather of cottages under 8/ a year ; for there are very few, if any, holding houses above the latter sum, that do not at present pay to the rate. If our worthy first Magistrate should consent to this requisition, it is earnestly to be hoped, that some at least of all parties who are interested will attend, and discuss calmly the justice or injustice, the policy or impolicy, of the intended measure. Ans there are none more interested in the result of this discussion than the labouring occupiers, on whom, after all, the burthens will fall, should the application to Par- liament succeed to the extent contemplated by those who agitate the question. Those also who deprecate a renc- tcal of the Rate on Stocks in Trade, will do well to mark the progress of this measure; for should the present applicants succeed in rating one species of property, it will most assuredly lead at least to the attempt of bringing all other pro- perties into the same Rate.

Residing in the immediate vicinity of your Town, I come forward perfectly independent in Principles and in Politics; and should I be so fortunate as to become the object of your choice, you will ever find me the strenuous and attentive supporter of your Local Interests, and the steady Friend of the British Constitution. I will take the earliest opportunity of waiting on the Electors individually, to solicit the favour of their Votes. I have the honour to be. Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient Servant, J. BARLOW HOY. MIDENBURY, Dec. lltfi, 1829. [ 2348 To the Burgesses and Independent Electors of the Town and County of the Town of SOUTHAMPTON. GENTLEMEN, TH K lamented Death of yonr late excel- lent Member, Mr. CHAMBERLAYNE, forms the most important epoch in my life, since it has decided me on offering myself to your notice, to represent you in Parliament.— Violent professions of zeal, superior talent, or purity, would ill become you and myself. I am not altogether unknown either in the Town or County ; and the many kind expressions of interest in my favour which I have already received, induce me to hope, that I am not presumptuous in offering myself to your notice. Should I have the happiness of succeeding, I only ask to be judged of by my actions, when I trust I shall be able to meet you again fearlessly at the next General Election. I shall take the earliest opportunity of presenting myself to you individually to solicit your Votes, when I shall be very ready to state the principles on which I have acted ; and in which ( till I am convinced they are erroneous) I shall continue to act. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your very faithful and devoted Servant, JOHN STORY PENLEAZE. SOUTHAMPTON, Dec. 10th, 1829. | 245fi To the FREE aud INDEPENDENT ELECTORS of SOUTHAMPTON. GENTLEMEN, IT having been stated to me, that my principles have been misrepresented, and that I was not sufficiently explicit in my address, I lose not an instant in placing at the gate of the Dolphin, where my Committee is sitting, those colours which vou have so often seen, and under which our lamented Friend, Mr. CHAMBERLAYNE, SO often fought. When they are displayed, I trust it will be universally believed, that I found my hopes and pretensions on the same principles as those of that enlightened man, and that I am the strenuous friend of civil and religious liberty. 1 was born, and have been bred, a PROTESTANT :" and when I state that I am a friend to civil liberty, it appears to me tantamount to saying that I am a true, loyal, and zealous subject to our gracious King ; for his family was placed upon the throne to support the just rights of the people. To say that I am a friend to civil liberty, is, I think, the same thing as saying that I am a warm advo- cate for the abolition of SLAVERY. The state of degra- dation in wliich tie Slaves are now placed, would, I fear, render a total and immediate emancipation a curse rather than a blessing; but to perpetuate the system would be, in mj' opinion, the summit of cruelty. I trust a general diffusion of religious and useful knowledge will amelio- rate the situation of the lower classes in every part of the British dominions. For the flattering reception which I have met with in my canvass, I return my most grateful thanks. I lament most sincerely that I have not resided sufficiently long in tlie town to ascertain, of my own knowledge, tlie abodes of misery, where I should ever have been ready to con- tribute my mite; but whenever callcd upon, I have an swered the appeal, from whatever class it came. Should I ( as I feel confident I shall) be honoured by your sup- port, it is my intention to divide my time between my Parliamentary duties in London and a constant residence here; when, if necessary, I should not hesitate to abridge my own pleasures, to enable me more effectually to con- tribute to the wants of the poor. I am. Gentlemen, very sincerely, Your faithful Friend and devoted Servant, _ 2457] JOHN S. PENLEAZE. To the ELECTORS of the. Town hni County ljF SOUTHAMPTON. GENTLEMEN, ICAN NOT refrain from again offering my. most sincere thanks for the very flattering and highly encouraging support I have received during my Canvass, and I shall now persevere, in the full confidence that the continued exertions of my Friends and Sup- porters will render success certain. It is my full intention personally to solicit every Elec- tor, and I am using every exertion for that purpose; I beg therefore to assure those whom I have not seen, that nothing but the impossibility of canvassing so large a Town in so short a period, has prevented my doing it before.
