FROM THE FOREIGN JOURNALS. , PARIS, Dec. 17. THE Marquis tie Pastoret, Vice- Chan- 1 cellor, has been raised to the dignity of Chancellor iof France. The superb American ship the United States, which made several voyages to Havre, has been bought by the Emperor of Russia for a model. HAGUE, Dec. 17 His . Majesty George IV. has pre- sented to the Royal Library the catalogue of the library of his late Majesty George III., splendidly printed in 6 vols, folio The Lek is frozen over, and the Rhine and Waal full of floating ice. VIENNA, Dec. 7 Prince Metternich has manifested a strong desire to withdraw from public affairs. The death of his son, Prince Victor, is said to have led to this resolution. The Emperor, being informed of M. de Metternich's intentions by the Archduke Charles, ( aid that the talents and services of the Grand Chancellor were now more necessary to him than ever, and that, if Prince Metternich should tender his resignation, it would not be accepted. GRONINGEN, Dec. 10 We hear that several of the principal inhabitants of this province, as well in the city lis in various parts Of the country, have united to send addresses to lus Majesty^ petitioning him not to give his Cdiifent to . the demands Of an unlimited freedom in na- tional education. • CRONSTADT, NOT. 27 On the 13th, a violent north wind having driven the ice towards the south side of the Gulf between St. Petersburgh and Cronstadt, ten foreign vessels, eight lighters, and a steani- boat, left the capital and arrived here. The next day the communication was again interrupted by the ice, and on the 15th, in the evening, four men came on foot from Oranimbaum ; but the next day all communication became impossible, a very high south- west wind having broken up the ice. ODESSA, NOV. 25 We never had the winter set in so early as this year, and to our great astonishment the aledges have been driving about the streets for these two days. JASSY, NOV. 2ft The severe cold which has already set in has checked the ravages of the plague. The day before yesterday, at four in the morning, a smart shock of an earthquake was felt here. LONDON, MONDAY. DECEMBER 21. The King, owing to the unfavourable State of the weather, has been for several days past prevented from taking his usual exercise. His Majesty enjoys ex- cellent health. It has been generally reported that a cata- ract had formed in his Majesty's eye, and that it was feared total blindness would speedily follow. On this subject the Windsor Herald has the following observa- tion :—" We state, on the best intelligence, that the whole tale is a vile fabrication— and that the King's visual organs are happily as sound as they were six years agj._" Mr. Secretary and Mrs. Peel arrived in town yesterday, from a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Wellington at their residence at Stratsfieldsay, Hants. LIBEL.— In the Court of King's Bench, on Saturday, Mr. Murray, the bookseller, was found guilty of publishing a libel on two men of colour, named Eschoffery and Lecesne, who were formerly inhabitants of St. Domingo. Lord Normanby has recently purchased from Scott Stonehewer, Esq. his famous horse Kildare, for which his Lordship has given five hundred guineas— This race- horse took his departure last Thursday for Florence, where he is matched against Mr. Perry's horse Starch, who, during the last races in the Tuscan capital, won every thing. Thomas Lloyd, Esq., the late Member for the county of Limerick, departed this life on Thursday, at his seat at Beech Mount, in that county, thereby oc- casioning a vacancy in the representation.— Dublin Even- ing Mail. The bow window of White's, in St. James's- street, so noted for the cutting up of private character, has acquired for the apartment which contains it the ap- pellation of the dissecting- room. The Cour Royale, to which the Courrier Francais appealed from a decision of the Correctional Police, has cancelled that sentence; upon which the Journal des Debats observes, " This decision consolidates for ever the right of free discussion on religious matters." The Grand Duke of Tuscany has just re- pealed a law which prohibited the introduction of foreign iron into that country, which in future will be admitted on paying a duty. Accounts have beer* received from Van Die- men's Land, from which we learn, that the native blacks have been committing sad murders lately in the interior. They killed six European stockmen in one week 1 They are poor shriveled wretches, and contemptible as an enemy, but dangerous to meet with if one is alone, and especially unarmed. On Friday two carts, heavily laden with boxes, See., and accompanied by fi men and 15 women and children, ill all 21 souls, passed through Bolton on their way to Liverpool, from which place they are to sail for the Swan River Settlement. The whole party ap- peared in high spirits. They were from Darwen and Blackburn. No foreigner is henceforth to be admitted to fill any civil office in the Prussian States without hit Majesty's special permission. The executors of the late R. Denn, Esq. of Brandon Hall, Suffolk, paid last week a legacy of 100W. to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, 101) 11/. to the Nor- wich Bethel, and 500/. to the Norwich Eye Infirmary. A legacy of (> 80/. 14i. lOri. has also been paid to the same Hospital by the executor of the late Lady Graves. A woman of the name of Jane Scott was lately apprehended for poaching on the property of Lord Douglas. She was sentenced to pay a fine of 10/., and in default of payment is now in Lanark gaol. One of the Judges, who has been upwards of thirty years on the Bench, declared that he never heard of a female being convicted of poaching before. It is aflirmed that a correspondence is at this moment going on between our Government and the Di- rectors of the Mint in Paris, with the view of determining how far it may be expedient to extend the silver currency, and to make it a legal tender in this country. No less than 488 persons have petitioned the Court for relief under the Insolvent Act, between the 4th day of November nnd the 5th day of December instant, both inclusive. Kean, jun., Miss F. H. Kelly, West, the husband of the tragedian. Younger, Raymond, and the other English actors engaged in the theatrical speculation in Holland, still remain at Amsterdam. Kean is not, however, performing. Raymond is expected in London by the next packet, being engaged at the theatre in Norwich. A new drama, called the Witch Finder, written by the author of Black Eyed Susan, was pro- duced at Drury- lane Theatre on Saturday night, and was most unequivocally damned. A French actor has been arrested at Chartres, and conducted to prison, for having on the stage imitated Buonaparte in his dress, air, and gestures. A poor wandering Irish female was found dead in a shed belonging to a farmer, at the village of Crick, near Chepstow, on Wednesday morning, having lost her life from the intensity of the cold of the pre- ceding night. There were three children with her, the eldest about eight, and the youngest about two years and a half old, from whom it is found that their father died lately in London, and that they were going back to their native place in the neighbourhood of Cork. Died on the 9th inst. of a decline, at the early age of nine years and nine months, Kate, the youngest daughter of Mr. Reeve, music- master, of this town. To the lovers of music it will be painful to learn, that the infant hand which so often charmed by the ele- gant undulations of the violin bow, and the sylph- like movements over the keys of the piano- forte, is now de- stined to the cold stillness of the grave. The remains of this extraordinarily- gifted little girl were interred on Tuesday morning, when the procession was received witli faint pealing strains upon the organ, and the beautiful hymn, " Vital spark of heavenly flame," was very ap- propriately sung in a most touching manner by the mem bers of the Bury Musical Society Bury Post. On Saturday se'nnight four men, belonging to Brighton, went off in a boat to hook for whiting. When near Rottingdean, they picked up a tub containing foreign spirits, which they broached, and drank of the contents so plentifully, that one of the party, named Merchant, fell insensible from his seat to the bottom of the boat. His companions, alarmed, rowed to shore, but by the time they arrived, two others of them were almost lifeless from the effects of the liquid fire they had swallowed. A cart was procured, and they were brought hither, when every means to restore them was tried ; two recovered their senses ; but Marchant gradually sunk under the effects of the liquor, and on Sunday morning expired!— Brighton Paper. One of the papers furnishes the following prescription. Let those who choose try it:—" Put a piece of lime, about the size of a walnut, in a quart bottle of water ; with this rinse the mouth two or three times a day, and clean the teeth, using this water every morning. If it taste strong, dilute it— lor it should be just strong enough to taste of the lime, and no stronger. 1 was tor- mented with the tooth- ache for some weeks till I used this mixture, but have never had it since."— New York Morning Herald. CORN- EXCHANGE, Monday, Dec. 21— AVe have been most abundantly supplied with Grain in general since this day se'nnight; and this morning we had a good supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk; the trade, however, is exceedingly dull at a decline of Is. per quarter.

The Duke of Wellington came to town on Monday morning from his residence at Strathfieldsay, Hants. The Earl of Aberdeen and Mr. Secretary Peel had interviews with his Grace at the Treasury. On Sunday morning the Bishop of London consecrated upwards of 30 Priests and Deacons in St. James's Church. Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg has inti- mated to his tenants, that, in consequence of the last two harvests being unusually expensive, he will return at the nest audit 1 a per cent, on the whole of the last year's rent. On Monday great hustle prevailed in the City, it being St. Thomas's Day, and, in consequence, Wardmotes were held, according to custom, at the va- rious precincts for the election of Common Councilmen and other subordinate officers for the ensuing year— Mr. Charles Pearson was elected for Bishopsgate, in the room of Mr. Deputy Greenaway, deceased. There are six wards contested. The new notes which are to be issued ( rom the Bank of England, at the commencement of the en- suing year, are to be made payable to Mr. Thomas Rippon, or bearer, instead of Henry Hase, whose name lias been on the notes 20 years. The following are extracts from the trench PARIS, Dec. 19.— A piece of intelligence of the highest importance to the merchants of Paris was communicated to us yesterday evening. The city of Paris will at length enjoy, without restriction, the right of entrepot for colo- nial produce, and for all articles imported from abroad. The Council of the Admiralty have appointed a Com- mittee, consisting of navy physicians, to proceed to Eng- land, to examine the manner of preparing the salt meats for the British navy, by which they are preserved for so long a time in a state of perfection. We learn from Bordeaux that in the night of Satur- day last the shock of an earthquake was felt through- out all Medoc. The same shock was felt at La Rochelle. PETERSBURG, NOV. 29.— Though peace is made, and there is no appearance that we shall soon have an enemy to combat, the new levy of recruits is executed with as miK'h rigour as last year, and the troops employed in the late war will remain in their cantonments in Bul- garia, the Principalities, and Bessarabia. The fêtes and fashionable entertainments at St. Petersburg, which were discontinued during the illness of the Emperor, were resumed in all their splen- dour about three weeks ago. CENSUS.— A late Paris paper contains a cal- culation of the revenues and population of France. The total amount is assumed to be fi, 3! tti, 7 » 0,000 francs, and the number of the population 32,252,00( 1. The opening of the Black Sea for the export of corn from Odessa, has already had the good effect of reducing the cost of provisions in the Mediterranean. By putting an end to the drain of such supplies from Sicily, the surplus produce of that island is disposable for t! ie markets of Italy and the South of France. The plague was by no means at an end either at Odessa or in Moldavia in the latter part of November, but it was checked by the cold, which had set in more early than usual. Germany is the only country in Europe con- taining silver mines of anv extent, and though their ore is in general poor, it is still worth working, the art of ex- tracting the silver from it having been greatly improved in the course of the present age. The business of mining in Germany is in a considerable degree divested of its proverbial uncertainty, and yields in most parts a return on the capital employed, not large certainly, but admit- ting of calculation nearly us definite as in the case of manufacture or agriculture.— Courier. Accounts have been received of the marriage of the King of Spain ; the ceremony was performed by proxy on the Htli of December, and was repeated on the I Ith, on which day the new Queen made her public en- try into Madrid. A letter from Madrid of the 10th, contains some details relative to the preparations for the approach- ing marriage of the King. In tile morning of that day Ferdinand set out for Aranjuez, for the purpose of seeing his spouse, who had been married by proxy a short time before. As the severe etiquette of tile Spanish Court did not allow him to remain with his wife till he had gone through the marriage ceremony in person, he was to return to Madrid in the evening. On the following day the young Queen was to make her public entiv into the capital, the King riding on the right side of bet carriage, and the Infants Don Carlos and Don Francisco de Paulo on the left, all three on horseback. It is supposed that more than 40,000 persons had already arrived to witness the ceremony, and as many more were expected. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 15th states, that the limits and political fate of Greece arc at length settled, but that the new arrangements will not be pub- lished till they are submitted to the Sultan, whose sanction is confidently anticipated. The limits commencing at the mouth of the Aspropotamos follow the course of that river as far as Varachovi, and then extend in a right line to the Gulf of Zeitouni. The Negropont ( tile ancient Eubooa) is incorporated with Greece ; and, according to another account, the islands of Samos and Candia. The protocol of the 22d March is maintained, and Russia has acceded to this plan, by which not onlv a grca: er e> ten- sion of territory than was originally intended, but the absolute independence of Greece, is secured. Baron Von Strumer died at Vienna on the 2d ins'. This celebrated Diplomatist has served the Imperial House of Austria upwards of » 0 years. The amount of British capital invested in the mines of Mexico is said to exceed four millions sterling. The latest advices from St. Petersburg make no allusion to the Emperor's health. The infer- ence of course is, that it was in such a state as to be no longer an object of solicitude. The Skylark packet lias arrived from Mexico, having sailed from Vera Cruz on the 2d of November, and reached the Havannah in less than a fortnight, the. north- west winds, occurring at this season, b.' ing favour- able to a speedy passage across the Gulf of Mexico. General Bravo, exiled from Mexico a year ago, and re- called, along with his companions, on the alarm excited by the threatened invasion of the Spaniards, had arrived at Vera Cruz on his return, and had been very favour- ably received. It is the general understanding among those likely to know, that the relief which will, in the ensuing session of Parliament, be afforded to the brewing trade, will consist in the total abolition of the ale and porter duty tfc. a barrel of 3( 1 gallons), ami the duty on table . beer ( U. 1( W. a barrel). The drawback of IT. 2d. on every gallon of malt spirits manufactured will, it is ex pected, be abolished. No alteration is to be made oil tile duty on malt tl.' w. a boll). Government not being able to dispense v. ith it; but it is considered that this re- daction of duty will put the brewers more on a par with tile distillers.— Glasgow Chronicle. A work is announced under the title of " Thoughts on Laughter, by a Chancery Banister;" but we doubt whether many suitors will be found to enjoy the joke. As a proof that the trade of tl; e sister king- dom is improving, t> 7 vessels f- om Ireland arrival at Liverpool on Friday last, and 20 on Saturday, as per lists received at Lloyd's. It is said at present that there are no less than 1200 houses in Macclesfield uninhabited. Preparations- arc making at Norwich for a requisition to the Sheriff of Norfolk to call a county meeting for the repeal of the Malt Tax. TUNNEL UNDER THE MERSEY.— A plan for uniting this town with Cheshire, by means of a Tunnel under the Mersey, is again under discussion. It is at present proposed that the Tunnel shall commence near the bottom of James- street, and come out at Woodside. The numerous robberies committed in the neighbourhood of Baldock exceed any thing ever known by the oldest inhabitant. Scarcely a night passes without the commission of some theft. W hen the parish men are . employed on the wretched barrow system, which is doing worse than nothing, very few can pass them without be- ing insulted ; and if they pass those on whom the depre- dations are committed, they do not hesitate to cry out, " Gobble! Gobble! have you any more fat turkeys ?" or, if sheep are taken, " Baa, Baa!"— County Chron. We are pleased with the common sense ma- • nifested by an unfortunate son of Erin, who was being tried before Justice Whatman, in Boston, the other day. " Arc you guilty, or not guilty?" said the clerk. " And. cure now," said Pat, " what are you put there for but • In find, that cut ?" * On Tuesday Messrs, Gutch, Fisher, and Alexander, the proprietors and publisher of the Morning Journal, were tried in the King's Bench, before Lord Tenterden, on ail information filed by the Attorney- General, the substance of which was, that the defendants had, on the 30th of Mav last, published a false and ma- licious libel on the Lord Chancellor, imputing to him that he had promoted Sir E. D. Sugden to the office of Solicitor- General solely from corrupt motives, being induced to confer the said office upon him by a bribe of 30,000/.— The Attorney- General addressed the Jury in an able speech. He admitted that the public conduct of public men ou^ ht to be open to the most free discussion ; but he never could bring himself td think, that merely on account of their high character they were to be abused and scandalized. If the measures of Government were discussed, it should be by a well- regulated discussion. He never could admit, that because his rank placed a man in a superior elevation, that therefore he was to be a mark at which everv libeller might direct his malevolence. — Lord Chief Justice Tindal, Lord Bexley, The Master of the Rolls, Baron Vaughan, Lord Holland, Mr. Cour- tenay, and several other gentlemen, gave it as their belief, that the Words of the libel applied to the Lord Chancellor. — Messrs. F. Pollock and Barstow spoke for the de, fendants Gulch and Fisher; Mr. Alexander defended himself. Lord Tenterden summed up the case to the Jury, who almost immediately returned a verdict against all the defendants. We mentioned in our last, says the Glasgow Chronicle, that an American steam- boat had run III miles an hour. At home an increase of speed is expected from the use of vessels built of iron. It has been found, by experiment on the Forth and Clyde Canal, that an iron boat, from comparative lightness, is mote easily dragged than a wooden one, in the ratio of 7 to 4. In consequence of this result an iron steam- boat has been constructed for the Clyde, and will be shortly finished. With equal horse power, in proportion to her tonnage, she is expected to run much faster than the wooden vessels. There is at present in the public library of Calais an Indian manuscript, in the Sanscrit character, which seems to have singular claims to curiosity. It is entitled a " History of India from its origin to the timo of Mahomet." The MS. consists ot one folio volume, ornamented with many curious vignettes, representing the costumes and usages of the Chinese.— The MS. is in a perfect state of preservation; and it is said that some Chinese who were at Calais some time ago took particu- lar interest in examining this work. HINTS TO MERCHANTS AND TRADESMEN.— " I think I may safely advance, without ganger of re- prehension," says De Foe, " there are more people ruined in England by overtrading than for want of trade ; and I would, from my own unhappy experience, advise all men in trade to set a due compass to their ambition. Credit is a gulf which is easy to get into, hard to get out of. Caution therefore is the best advice that can be given to a young tradesman; and moderation is a useful virtue id trade as well as in politics."— Wilson's Life of Daniel De Foe. A paper from the pen of Colonel Harriot, on the origin and language of the Gipsies, was read at a recent meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society. It contained a comparative vocabulary of the Zingaresco or Gipsy dialect, with various Asiatic synonyms, chiefly deduced from the Hindi; the Gipsy words, with the correspond- ing terms in English, were taken down by the author himself some yeais since, and were recently confirmed by his going over them with a different party of these wanderers. The Colonel refers their origin to Hindostan. The date of their introduction to Persia he shows, from authentic sources, to have been early in the fifth century ot out era. Mr. Watling, of Birmingham, lately intro- duced, during a series of Lectures on Vision, a micro- scope, through which a pair of scissors, so small that 12.480 pairs were required to weigh an ounce ( about 2ti pairs to a grain) was exhibited. This minute object was seen in the microscope under an angle of ten feet, and appeared to the spectators as large and as formidable as the anchor of a first- rate man of war. The projected undertaking of a rail road between Bath and Bristol has been so warmly supported here, that not only have all the shares in the under- taking allotted to this city been taken, but between 200 and 300 applications have been made to obtain shares since the subscription- list became full. It is calculated that, by means of this rail road, the distance between the two cities will be performed in 20 minutes— Bath paper. We understand that it is decidcd to construct a bridge across the Avon, at Bristol, of stone, in one semicircular arch, whose span shall be three hundred feet, which is twice that of the central arch of the New London Bridge! The banks of the river on both sides are so high as to form natural and secure abutments for it; and it is said that the height of the carriage- way from the surface of the water will be two hundred feet! The plans have been submitted to Mr. Telford, the eminen engineer, for his opinion of its practicability. Designs for a chain bridge had been pieviously submitted. The Tiflis Gazette mentions that Professor Parret has succeeded, at last, in carrying into effect the bold project of ascending the summit of Mount Ararat. Accompanied by a monk of Etsckmiatzin, and of two inhabitants of the village, M. Parret reached the top of the mountain at three o'clock in the afternoon of the 9th October, where he erected a cross five feet high. Accord- ing to barometrical admeasurement, he found the height to be 16,200 feet ( French measure) above the level of the sea. Substitute for Lead Pipes in Beer Machines. In a late paper we noticed the valuable substitute of elastic gum for lead pipes, so generally used in public- houses, for the purpose of pumping up beer from the cellars. The beer which remains in the pipe generally contains acetic acid, which acts powerfully on the lead, and, forming with it a soluble compound, constitutes so insidious a poison as to bring on serious dyspectic affec- tions of the stomach, frequently terminating in paralytic complaints. It is presumed that since the introduction of pumps, having such pipes, into the bars of public- houses, these melancholy diseases have been more than doubled. Dr. Wilkinson intends to have those pipes of elastic gum sent to Bath, for the accommodation of pub- licans, who will find them economical, as well as free from any injurious result.— Bath paper. INTERMEDIATE BEER.— It would appearfrom a recent decision of the Queen- square magistrate, that a seller of intermediate beer is liable to he fined, if it is drank by the purchaser in front of the bouse, provided the pot containing the beer is the property of the vender. Miss Mary Anning has discovered an entirely new specimen of fossil organic remains, embedded in the lias of Lyme Regis. It is about a foot and a half long; lias two immense sockets for the eyes, a long snout, a series of the finest vertebra; that, have ever been seen in so small a creature, claws, fins like wings, and some beau- tiful fluted thorns like those of the ray, with the ex- ception that in the fish they are not fluted. Enormous Reptile.— At a late meeting of the Geological Society, a paper was read by Professor Buck- land, on the Iguanodon, an extinct, fossil, herbivorous reptile, in Sandown and Swanage Bays. Some gigantic remains of this species of lizard accompanied the paper: a single joint of one of the toes weighed about six pounds! The Chairman enquired of the Professor if tlfc latter could form any estimate of the size of the reptile: the Professor, smiling, answered, " Ex pede Herculem!" There is now in the possession of a gentleman at Manchester an old Bible, in good condition, which contains about 1.000 copper plate engravings and maps of all the ancient places mentioned in Scripture, as also the Apocrypha, and the Psalms of David in metre. This Bible belonged to the grandfather of John Wesley. Ii also belonged to his father. It was in the house when it was on fire, but was saved from the conquering element, and handed down to the present possessor, as a valuable relic. False " Abernethy Biscuits."-— Biscuits, chiefly composed of wheaten flour, caraway seeds, and sugar, are puffed off under the sanction of the name of Abernethy. The composition unfortunately happens to be that which he condemns. The sugar they contain runs rapidly into the acetous fermentation in an irritable or nervous stomach, and thereby tentls to keep up the morbid state of excitement of the stomach, so as to dis- turb the head, and often the whole nervous system.— Monthly Gazette of Health. What did they do for a long Morning?— In 15( 10, the usual dinner- hour in England, among the upper classes, was eleven in the forenoon, and wooden trenchers for plates were still to be found at the most sumptuous tables in 1592. Forks were not introduced before Kill, to which time fingers had been the sole substitute. WILD SWANS.— A few days ago four wild swan6 alighted upon the pool at Speedwell Mills, near Birmingham. One of the number was shot, and now enriches Mr. Weaver's museum in New- street. The skeleton of an elephant was recently found by some workmen who were digging for a founda- tion at Ilford, in Essex. No probable conjecture can be formed as to when the ponderous animal was buried. A jarvey, subpoenaed as a witness in a cause at Westminster Hall, summoned an attorney on Satur- day to Bow- street, for waiting thirteen hours with his conch and horses! He said he never went nowhere with- out his coach, as ho had no one to look arter his orses, and wasn't going to be done. The magistrate having no jurisdiction, coachee said he would go to law with the lawyer, cost what it would. At a late city feast Sir C. F. asked the dif- ference between a bad sheep and an old soldier— d'ye give it up ? said the punster—" because the one is a wet'un and t'other a wetter'un! ( veteran.) BEST PART or A FEAST.— Cornaro had a merry saying that would not be credited in the city, " that of all parts of a feast, that which one leaves does one the most good."— Wadd on Corpulency. There is a good deal of saucy wit in Lord Byron's anecdote of the fair astronomers. " Some lite- rary ladies being asked how they could be sufficiently interested in astronomy to spend so much time in watch- ing the heavens, replied, that they had a great curiosity to see whether there was really a Man in the moon." Lady Lyndhurst being asked by Mori, the violist and music seller, to accept the dedication of a new song, she replied, " Willingly, Mr. Mori, and it will be the prettiest and most agreeable ' memento Mori' I ever received." Extract of a private letter from Paris:— Paris, Dec. 19.—" On four Sundays in the year— namely, the two preceding and the two following Le Jour dol' An — all shops are allowed to be opened, and trade carried on, as on week- days. On all the other Sundays all the shops are equally devoted to business; but there is a sort of half mask thrown over their transactions, by keeping up a moiety of the shutters.— In this city ( so truly described as L'Enfer des Chevaux) the eye is pained from morning till night of the sabbath, as well as of every other day, by the straining of the poor horses to drag overloaded vehicles, impelled by the heavy whip of the hardest- hearted wretch that ever carried one ; and the ears are, during the whole of the same period, pierced by the incessant bellowing of the savages to whose charge they are committed.— Cats and dogs are caressed and pampered — washed, combed, and trimmed; while that useful and noble animal, the horse, is treated as if specially pro- vided for the purposes of experimental brutality— The Parisians still labour under, or are blest with, that which is here called Anglomnanie. Those disgusting mendicants with which this city was crowded some years since, have disappeared. Many of the streets boast of flagged foot- ways. The costume of both sexes is improved. Personal cleanliness is now carried to a commendable extent, among all but the lowest class of Parisians. The private carriages of the Parisians are nearly as well constructed as those of the same description with you— Some of the most revolting nuisances are abated. Gambling is on the decline— even the Lottery will, ere long, cease to afford a medium to the poorest wretches to complete their de- struction.— Potatoes are no longer sewed merely as a salad ; the consumption and the culture of them increase yearly. So tempting, indeed, has English farming be- come', that an English gentleman is about to establish, at Nivers, " a model farm on the English plan."— Beer is to be found in every tavern and cabaret, and though last not least, an Irish gentleman, of the name of Hig- gins, has commenced, at Fontainbleau, the distillation of malt whiskey, on an extensive scale." There was a sporting hunt at Killala, County Clare, last. Tuesday ; but the most extraordinary feature in the day's amusement was towards the wind up, when the buck, hard pressed by the hounds and horses, made right for Magullane- house, the residence of the late Bishop O'Shaugnessy, where a sumptuous rei^ t was laid out for the members of the Hunt by the present hospitable occupier, Mr. Francis Herly. The noble animal dashed head- foremost into the very room, carry- ing on his wide- spreading antlers the double window- frame, all the panes being shivered to atoms in the leap. Tables, dishes, glasses, and decanters were upset in the greatest disorder, and in an instant all became a mere wreck. The author of this unexpected calamity was taken in a corner of the parlour, crouching before his enemies, and looking with surprise at the destruction he bad effected.— Cork Southern Reporter. The journals are filled with reports of the proceedings of a Commission of Inquiry sitting every day last week, to ascertain the sanity of a Mr. Davies, a tea- dealer. The expenses already incurred exceed 10,000/. If tke examination proceed much farther, to see if he is fit to manage his property, it is strongly suspected that there will be no property to manage ! In the above case the following conversation occurred on Monday, during the examination of Mr. Haslam:— Mr. Brodrick— Do you believe Mr. Davies competent to judge of teas, and " that he understands arithmetic ?— I think his organ of smell is unimpaired—( A laugh.) Do you mean to say he can smell out arithmetic ?—( A laugh.)— No, teas. Did he smell out you ?— I can't say; some persons can smell out a man; I cannot—( Laughter.) Mr. Brodrick— 1 will thank you to speak louder. Witness— I cannot; I have got a hoarseness, and I cannot " propel" my voice. Witness continued— I think he has a good scent for teas, for I have bought my tea and coffee of him, and it is the best I ever had—( A laugh.) Such is the difficulty of finding employment for the poor, that in Berkshire, labourers, yoked to waggons and carts, supply the place of horses ill drawing coals from Longcot Wharf to Highworth, a distance of three miles. CLERICAL LIBERALITY.— We have much pleasure in stating that the Rev. C. R. Ward, Vicar of Wapley and Codrington, in this county, at his tithe audit on the 4th inst. returned, unsolicited, 10 per cent, on bis tithes; which, with 23 per cent, abated in the year 18^ 3, and continued to be allowed from that period until the present, make a reduction of 35 per cent.— Cheltenham Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY CANARY.— Mr. Robert Waddell, 9, Gowan- street, Hutchisontown, Glasgow, has at present in his possession a canary hen which brought out two fine birds last month, and which are as lively as any summer birds. The hen is now sitting on three eggs, which make up the number of 44 that she has laid since last May. The present is her eighth nest. Cure for a Locked Jaw.— Fill the hand, on the side principally affected, with pulverized stone- brim- stone, and bind it up for the night— Such medical men as may try the experiment, are requested to make known the result, for the benefit of others. Many jfcrwns lmve been cured by this simple application. Persons who pay money to an insolvent in prison, after he has made an assignment of his effects, can be called on to pay it over again, should the assignee require it. It happened one day last week that a set of mischievous boys, in Water- street, Liverpool, were abusing in a most shameful manner a very young kitten, which they had got into their possession, and the poor animal was lying in the dirt, covered with mud, and more dead than alive, in consequence of the ill- treat- ment it had received. To the astonishment of the spec- tators, a dog of a ferocious character, which happened to come up to see what was going forward, took the kitten tenderly in his mouth, carried it into the coach- office to which he belonged, laid it before the fire, and commenced licking the dirt off it. Since then he lias shared his meals with it, and has continued to behave as its zealous friend and protector— Macclesfield Courier. Richard Powell, a boy of 13 years of age, was brought up at Guildhall on Monday as a vagrant. It appeared that the boy's father died worth 11,000/., part of which was bequeathed to him. The widow turned him out of doors some years ago, and he has wandeied about ever since. UNNATURAL CONDUCT.— On Thursday se'n- night, a woman named Jones, residing in the parish of St. James, Bristol, " who lost her husband about 4 years ago, turned her child, a little girl It) years of age, into the street, telling her she would no longer support her, and that she might beg or steal till she came to the gallows. How the poor child satisfied the cravings of appetite, or found a shelter from the cold in the interim, does not appear ; but on the Saturday night following, about 10 o'clock, a servant girl, having thrown a quantity of potatoe peelings into the ashes- hole belonging to the Arcade, was astonished to see a little girl issue from a corner of the recess, and devour them with the utmost eagerness. The circumstance was communicated to a woman named Beak, who received the poor child under her roof, and administered to her warns. She then ap- plied to die parochial officer for directions bow to obtain a permanent maintenance for her; and the principal churchwarden, with a laudable promptitude, represented the case to the Corporation of the Poor, and search was immediately made for the inhuman mother, who had in the interim obtained a situation as a servant. In the meantime, Mr. Dale undertook to remunerate the poor woman who had saved the child from starvation; and the mother was taken into custody. Child Murder.— A young woman, named Carhis, who lived in the service of Mr. J. Curnow, at Bolioggus, in Paul, near Penzance, has been committed to the Cornwall County prison, on a charge of murder- ing her new- born infant child. The infant was found in a field near Castle Horneck, with its throat cut from ear to ear ! One day last week a hare ran into the fold of a farmer named Swindlehurst, at Browsholme, when one of the pigs unceremoniously seized poor puss, and destroyed her before the persons present could give her any help.— Preston Pilot. A beautiful specimen of the less spotted woodpecker of Pennant, or picas minor of Linnæus, so rarely seen in this country, was last week shot in the garden of Mr. G. Harmer, of Ipswich, Mr. John Souter being out with his gun on Monday se'nnight, in Selsea Island, found three snipes, which he fired at, and killed the whole at one shot! The language of Finland has been described as a concentration of pleasing sounds peculiarly adapted to poetry, being fuller of vowels even than the Italian. For the Cure of Agricultural Distress, and Relief from Poor Bates.— Take of large farms fifty thousand, split them into small ones of from fifty to one hundred and fifty acres each, let them to working farmers at peace rents, and your rents will be duly paid. Erect cottages, quantum sufficit, say one to every fifty acres, add thereto three or four acres of ground, and let them to such as can keep a cow and a pig; erect smaller ones with a garden, and your poor rates will be reduced Bath Herald. MARCH OF INTELLECT !— The following note was last week addressed to a person who had lodgings to let, in a respectable part of Bath; but the writer, after obtaining an interview, declined taking the said lodgings, because the landlord was of his profession— a school- master:—" Honored Sir I have To adress you with A few lines to lett you no the apartements that my wife whas about takinge of you dos not sutt her be cause tliare would be to of a trade in wone hous and so shee declines it all to Gethei I am your humbele sarvent" * * * Substitute for Specie.— An American paper contains the following, jeu d'esprit on the want of specie in the western states:—" From the absence of specie, it is thought that some of the western banks will have to pay notes in bacon, or suspend their operations. Should bacon be substituted for specie as a circulating medium, it is thought that potatoes might be advantageously used for small change. CORN EXCHANGE, Dec. 23.— Although next Friday ( Christmas- day) will he a close holiday, we had but few buyers at market this morning, and the few sales made are scarcely worth mentioning; still Monday's prices were obtained for fine samples of Wheat, Barley, and Oats, CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR'S GIFTS, BIRTH- DAY PRESENTS, J& ND PRIZE BOOKS FOX SCHOOLS. — MESSRS.

THE convocation of the Chamber of Deputies is said to be fixed for the second fortnight in January, and that the Chamber would be assembled on the 10th or 12th of February. The number of De- puties who arrive at Paris daily increases. Many are already met witli in the political assemblies. The De- puties of the extreme right appear to have received an extraordinary summons, for almost all of them are al- ready at Paris. MArSEIlLeS, Dec. 2 We have good reason to be- lieve that all that has been said of the ambitious projects of Mehemet Ali, Pacha of Egypt, is founded on fiction. A person, lately arrived from Alexandria, whose situa- tion afforded liiin the means of making himself acquainted with the real sentiments of that extraordinary man, asserts that he is very far from desiring to dissolve the ties which unite him with the Porte. He is too well acquainted with the policy of Europe not to be aware what interest it takes in the preservation of the Ottoman Empire. Hence he infers that any attempt to make himself independent, though crowned with success for the moment, would, in the end, only hazard his own existence. „ , VIENNA, Dec. 11 Letters from Bucharest announce that a terrible earthquaKe was felt in that city on the 26th and ' Jlitb of November. Several houses were thrown down, and a great many people killed and wounded. FRANKFORT, Die Hi— It is reported at Cologne, that tiie free navigation of the lUiine will commence on the Ist of March next PETERSBURG, Dec !) His Majesty has been pleased to give his sanction to a resolution taken by the Council of the Empire, at the proposal of the Minister of Finance, for the formation of a Council of Commerce in this capital, with branches depending on it at Moscow, Riga, Archangel, Odessa, Taganrog, and wherever they may in future be judged necessary. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, Dec. 7— The Russian head- quarters have left Adrianople. The six districts of Servi* will be immediately incorporated; but it is feared that the Porte will delay the decree of amnesty, for tha, Sultan cannot resolve to leave unpunished those who, in his opinions have been guilty of treason. Violent re- aftions are, therefore, expected as soon as the Pacha of Scutari has taken possession of Adrianople, for it is that city in particular which has drawn upon itself the displeasure of the Sultan. london, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25. The trial of the second information against the proprietors and publisher of the Morning Journal came on on Wednesday. The defendants were charged with having published a false and wicked libel on his Majesty and his Government, with intent to defame and degrade his Majesty, and to bring him into contempt with his subiects The libel ran thus:—" We have the best rea- sons for stating that his Majesty has lately evinced some- thing more than even marked coolness towards his Grace the Duke of Wellington— His Majesty, it is said, com- plains bitterly that his Ministers have placed him in such a position, that he cannot enjoy the pleasure of exhibiting himself to his people. George the Fourth was till now a popular Monarch. That he lias been rendered otherwise is the act of his imperious Minister. We pity our aged and revered Sovereign— It is sufficiently obvious that there never was a more ambitious or more dangerous Minister in England than the Duke of Wellington. But if his ascendancy over the Monarch be such as is repre- sented, then we are sure that rational sympathy must spontaneously flow toward the King. The people must feel intensely the restraints imposed upon the Sovereign, and regret that, overflowing with goodness as he is, kind to exccss, fondly attached to his subjects, and paternally anxious to see them all prosperous and happy, he cannot mingle with their public entertainments, or receive those congratulations which must be gratifying to his Majesty in the wane of existence. But his Majesty may yet have strength and intrepidity to burst his fetters, dismiss from before his Throne evil Counsellors, and assume that sta- tion in public opinion which befits a public Monarch."— The defendants were found guilty of a libel on his Ma- jesty, but not on his Ministers; and the jury earnestly recommended them to the merciful consideration of the Court, as the articles in question had been written in times of great public excitement. The trial of the third information against the same Journal was then proceeded in. The libel in this case stated that the House of Commons was bloated with cor- ruption, and the House of Lords was not better; and that his Majesty was a weak and imbecile Monarch, unable to uphold the dignity of his station— A verdict of guilty was recorded against all the defendants. BRITISH COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.— On Wed- nesday a meeting of members of the Medical Profession was held m Leicester- place. Dr. Dimsdale was called to the chair, and briefly stated the object of the meeting, viz. tc receive the drafts of petitions to Parliament for a Charter for the new College. The form of a petition was then read. It stated that hundreds of unlicensed prac- titioners were to be found, and there was scarcely an in- stance on record of any attempt to check sucli innovations. After detailing many grievances to which the profession are now subjected, the Legislature was implored to take the subject into its serious consideration— Several gentle- men addressed the meeting on the necessity of some steps being adopted to obtain better protection for the medical profession than that now afforded by the College of Sur- geoos,— A gentleman was desirous of knowing whether it was intended to applv to Parliament for the foimation of a new college The' Chairman said it was intended to apply to Parliament for the establishment of a new col- lege. Many of the medical profession, particularly in the country, took a lively interest in the question ; and letters were daily arriving, expressive of satisfaction at the probable formation of a new college— After some discussion, it was agreed that the petition should be left tor the adoption of a future meeting. A curious historical fact was alluded to by of excellent health and spirits. It appears that the " ca- taract" with which his Majesty has been reported to be afflicted does not prevent him from reading his despatches by the light of a single candle. FIRE AT THE VICE- REGAL LODGE.— A fire broke out in the kitchen at the Vice- Regal Lodge, Phoe- nix- park, vesterday, which was not got under until part of the building was destroyed. The fire, however, did not reach the dwelling of his Excellency, and the only inconvenience likely to result is, that the Vice- Regal establishment is in consequence likely to remove to Dublin Castle sooner than intended— Dublin Evening Packet. Accounts from Rio Janeiro to the 16th Oct. inform us tlut a sloop of war, detached from the squadron at the line, had giver, intimation of the approach of Donna Maria. She was received as Queen of Portugal, and with due honours as a Sovereign. By the Brussels Papers we learn that the King's attempt to subvert the liberty of the Press begins to react upon himself: the States General have rejected one budget, and the Minister withdrew the other in a huff! Accounts have been received from the City of Mexico of the 2Sth Oct., and from Vera Cruz to the 2d Nov. The country is tranquil, and as the Executive is acting with a power which embraces every thing, ex- cepting life and banishment, it is thought that no fear of disturbances are to be apprehended. The less, it seems, thev have of liberty, the better they behave themselves. By late, arrivals from Canada, we learn that so late as the 23d of November, not less than 30 sail of homeward- bound shipping remained in the port of Que- the Attorney- General in the course of the recent trials for libel, illustrative of the power supposed to be pos- sessed by our early Kings of restraining objectionable publications. The first printing- press was introduced into this country by Henry the Seventh, who claimed on that account the privilege of preventing any inter- ference with the right thus acquired by the King, as it were, by copyright or patent. This was the sole founda- tion on which the right of censorship rested— a right which under the Stuarts had almost become part of the law of the land— until it was happily overthrown at the revolution of 1088. The common law contains no traces of such a right— nor could it, inasmuch as it is of so much higher antiquity than the art of printing. Extract of a letter from a gentleman recently returned to Graff- reinet, from an exploratory journey through Cafferland, & c.:—" I found the military on the frontier all ready for an expected invasion by the Caffers. Whether they have any cause for such preparations is best known to themselves, but I saw not the smallest reason to suspect it during my delightful ride through Caffraria; every thing was peaceable, and I was always ousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach,' and will ultimately be a destruction to any people." In an Appendix to the Charge are the following serious observations relative to the Holy Communion, well de- serving the particular attention of the Clergy: " Even among those who are communicants, I find a custom pre- vailing which is very far from satisfactory: that of at- tending the Sacrament oil the great festivals of Christmas or Easter, and at no other time. This looks too much as if the Sacrament were considered as a duty t-> be per- formed, or a rite to be observed only, and not as the habitual practice of a Christian, by which his faith were to be maintained in continual exercise It is very needful, when we insist upon the Sacrament either pub- licly 01- privately, to place it in its proper light, as the test of a Christian state of mind ; and it might tend to remove a remnant of Popery which still exists too gene- rally, if the Sacrament were never urged upon the sick, or even administered to them without much considera- tion, unless they have been previously communicants. The withholding it will seldom be felt as a serious evil, unless the object of the Sacrament itself is misunderstood; and if its object is misunderstood, it is far better that it should be withheld. The temporary consolation, of which a few who may be really entitled to such consola- tion will thus be deprived, is of far less consequence than the perpetuation of an error and an abuse, which there is reason to fear has been the ruin of multitudes." The Bishop sums up his observations, the entire of which we would recommend as well worthy the perusal of our readers, as follows: _ " I am aware that what I have proposed for the prac- tice of the parochial minister can in few cases be called into execution, without the devotion of his whole mint!, as well as time, to the work in which he is engaged A clergyman who has his heart in his profession, is the happiest of men,— in the business of his life at least, if not in actual temperament ( that may be prevented by- trials, anxieties, and disappointments); but his em- ployment leads him to advance others, and advance himself in the only pursuit which, if we believe the Scripture, has any real value or importance. On the contrary, if there were a Clergyman who had not his heart in his profession, he must be ' of all men most miserable;' restrained by the decencies expected of him from objects to which lie is really attached, or condemn- ing himself for neglecting duties in which he feels no interest. But it is still more certain that the time will come, when those who have taken upon themselves to be ' stewards of the mysteries of God,' must render the ac- count which is required of stewards; and thai then to be found faithful, whe her over few things or over many things, whether in the use of ten talents or of one, wil: be an honour cheaply bought at the price of ten thousand transitory worlds."

[ 3341 We lately presented to our readers some extracts from the primary Charge of the Bishop of Win. chester, as a sequel to which we trust some notices of mother delivered to the Clergy of the Diocese of Chester ) y his Lordship's Right Reverend Brother, will not be macceptable. The chief excellen. ce of these episcopal lddresses appears to us to consist in their adaptation to . lie circumstances of the times for which they are formed : characterized rather by useful practical suggestions, than ly the mere formalities of ecclesiastical detail. They exhibit, too, an industriousness of character in the Pre- lates who write them , a feature, which, however it may be opposed to. the more stately anil solemn pre- concep. linns v.- hich we, of the Church of England, have been accustomed to associate with an order of the Clergy, -- ghostly in office," is admirable and excellent, inas- much as it prefers usefulness to mere precedent: and where precedent is wanting, can, of its own accord, step aside from tile beaten path to accommodate itself to the exigency of the present occasion. Bishops of the present day, who are anxious to fulfil the duties their office implies, must step down from these adventitious heights, where, not remote antiquity, but the superstition of Papal times, has placed them. They must feed the flock of the Church, not by proxy, but themselves taking the over- sight thereof: appearing before their Clergy, not merely as primary or triennial raree- shows of ecclesiastical state, and then, after the utterance of a tew solemn sentences, and a Philippic against the separatist, trench themselves within the castle moat, scarce again lo be heard of, ex- cept under some mysterious signature, by the poor Curate who has exceeded the quantum of doing good. They must, as we rejoice to see so many of our Hierarchy do, make usefulness the stepping- stone to that elevation which, after all, is an attribtftqof character, more than an appendage of oliice, and in which a . man is not of necessity instituted as soon as he is made Bishop: a truth this, which is not left for modern sagacity to dis- cover, but was indeed recognized as far back as the times of the Reformation, and the age of preaching Bishops- Prelates then twho are still Clergymen, though of an higher order) must, like other men, adapt them- selves and their administration to the times, and to the peculiar exigencies and requirements of tire times in which they live. They must be careful to observe in what respects, and how far altered circumstances have placid tile Church in a different situation now from what it was in those times in which our ecclesiastical system was prepared: and in whatever particular the provision is inadequate, to use the discretionary power the Church has invested tiiem with to supply the want, or to remove the evil, so as continually to bring up the plan of the Church, if we may so describe it, to that standard and ultimatum which its founders had in their view and in- tention ; and this, too, without innovation, or any thing like the subversion of established order •• We meet on the present occasion," says his Lordship, of Chester, as many members of the same body, having a common calling and a common object. That calling and that object is the highest of which man is capable. As re- spects God, it is the advancement of his kingdom. As ; respects our fellftw- creaturos, it is the preparing them for ! a heavenly inheritance. As respects ourselves, it is to be ! in co- operation with God, as the instruments by which His Spirit works, messengers of his mercy, ministers ol the redemption purchased by his beloved Son. And here I cannot but pause and reflect on the high distinc- tion which belongs to us, that we are allowed to co- operatc with the Word and the Spirit of God in effecting thit wonderful change in human nature, which is suggested to me by the words intelligent and consistent Christian, Compare the ignorant and unreflecting peasant, who move! in t! ie same dull and too often sinful track, with no idea: beyond the ground he treads upon, the sensual indul- gences which he gratifies, and the day that is passim over his head : compare him with his enlightened neigh, hour, nay with himself, if happily he becomes enligh. tened, when he follows the same path of active industry but makes it a path towards his heavenly father's king dom ; and then perceive by a visible example what the grace of God effects through the agency of man. Or take the case of those who see their occupation sinking from under them ; their means of support annually de- creasing, and little prospect of its melioration. Suppose that the views of these, and such as these, are bounded by this present world, what can they be but unhappy, restless, discontented ? defying God and murmuring at man ; distressing the philanthropist, because he sees no comfort left to them ; distressing the statesman, because he can devise no remedy for their relief: above all. dis- tressing the Christian, who sees the future prospect far darker than the present gloom : suppose the case of one thus circumstanced having no hope beyond this world; and then contemplate the change which would be pro- bee, and that the liiver of St. Lawrence continued open and free from ice. The liberal journals of France have become less violent against the ministry; and it is said that several of the deputies who were expected to evince great hostility to their measures, have already expressed a belief that they will be quite as constitutional as those of their pre- decessors. It is reported that a negotiation is going on to settle the differences between the Emperor of Brazil and Don Miguel. Lord and Lady Burghersh escaped with life by a miracle a few weeks since. They were returning from Bologna, and, upon descending the Appennines at a rapid pace, the carriage was overturned with great vio- lence. Both Lord and Lady Burghersh . received severe contusions; but, by being copiously blooded upon ar- riving in Florence, all danger subsided. The Committee- room of the late Catholic Association has been for several weeks past the scene of fierce contention and angry discussions respecting the division of the amount of Catholic rent remaining in hand, amongst the claimants of various descriptions, whose demands more than treble the sum to be divided. It has been decided in the Vice- Chancellor's Court, in the question of leasehold property bequeathed by a lady to liqfr husband, that the words devising all the " real and personal estate, and all property whatever of which she died possessed to lier husband for life, and subsequently to be divided among the children," were not sufficient to pass leasehold property. The preparations lor Pantomime at the winter theatres are great and formidable.

Cheap substitute for Malt.— The following method of brewing beer from the roots of the mangel- wurzel is extracted from the Mechanics' Magazine:—" I took 1 Stlibs. of the roots of the mangel- wurzel, boiled, well bruised, and pressed, adding one pound of hops, which I infused all night in some of the hot liquor; and bv a saccharometer reduced the liquor to the strength of ! 281b. of saccharine matter to the barrel of 30 gallons. I ! then boiled the hops in the liquor one hour, cooled it as | soon as possible to 70 degrees Fahr., and then added one pound of good yest. let it stand 24 hours, then beat it in, | and again in 12 hours; 1 then took off all the yest I | could, after letting it stand six hours ; in six hours more I again took all the yest off, and tunned the beer, allow- ing it to work well out of the barrel. When done work- ing, I putin a handful of the cold hops I reserv . for the purpose, stirred them well in the barrel, and in a few hours bunged it down. The result is, 10 gallons of ale, ] apparently very strong, of a very fine flavour, and equal j to any malt ale. The whole expense thereof docs not ex- ceed seven shillings, which is only ftjd. per gallon for The proprietors of the Morning Journal were tried on Thursday, in the Court of king's Bench, on an . indictment preferred by the Duke of Wellington for a J libel on his Grace. The Attorney- General stated that . the article complained of appeared in the Morning j Journal after other prosecutions were pending, and pur- t ported to have been written by John Little Crosby, A. M., . Minister of Sydenham, Kent, and domestic Chaplain to the Dnke of Cumberland. The libel was as follows :— J " To his Highness the Duke of Wellington. " My Lord,— in the miserable state to which your f united ignorance, vanity, and ambition have reduced a j once exalted and flourishing nation, it only remains for \ your Highness and your Whig Attorney General to put down the Press of the country, silence public opinion, and ultimately stifle the complaints of the surviving but ' persecuted Protestants of Ireland, now weeping over the murdered remains of those relatives who have been slaughtered at the shrine of your highness's Popish Re- lief Bill. Did your Highness from your heart tell the truth, when, with despicable cant and affected modera- tion, you drew a picture of the horrors of a civil war, and in a whining, weeping tone deprecated and abjured the notion of crushing treason by the law of the land and the bayonet? When did your Highness acquire those fine feelings ? Who ever suspected, or who erer presumed to accuse your Highness of mercy— of com- passion— of moderation, or of any of those more kindly or tender sympathies which distinguish the heart of a man from that of a proud dictator and a tyrant ?— The conquest f the traitorous and confederated Papists of Ireland did not suit your present ambitions views, and I hereby publicly arraign your Highness of the grossest treachery to your country, or else the most arrant cowardice, or if you please, treachery, cowardice, and artifice united. How have you avoided a civil war ? By suffering the sanguinary Papist to issue forth from his den, and murder his Protestant fellow- subject in cold blood. How have you avoided a civil war, I ask you again ? By seeing the decent, loyal, educated, and free- born Protestant impaled to the very earth, on the pike of the Popish assassin, at the very moment when the last drop of blood flowing from his heart was not sufficient to glut the vengeance of his enemies, because the wretched man had dared to wear an orange lily, or drink the mem ry of a Prince who gave us a Constitution which your High- ness ihas destroyed— Now mark me, proud Duke— I called^ ou so once before—/ know your objects— I have known them\ long; and it is not my fault if they are not known in the highest quarters of this land— If it should please God, for some special marks of his Almighty displeasure against tilts country, to continue your Highness at the head of the Administration of your betrayed and deceived Sovereign, you will find that in the end ( and tl\ it end will be before long) you will be obliged to put down, by main force of civil war, the insurrectionary spirit of the Irish Papists, or submit to an overthrow of the Union between England and Ireland. Let me tell your tliglmess further, that you and your colleagues can never shelter yourselves under an as- j sumed ignorance of those points— If you possess, how- ever, one particle of honour, bravery, loyalty, or justice — if you be not actually driven to insanity by the restlest ambition which characterises your well- known ulterior 1 objects— if you wish now in your old age to conciliate a ; confiding and affectionate people who once believed you ; to be their own— if you know that the projects are known ' to an Illustrious Individual, whom vou permitted to be vilified, traduced, calumniated, and defamed, without even once denouncing his traducers— if you think that ' the blood of those loyal murdered subjects of the King " cries aloud for vengeance if you be a Christian,— if you j know tile uncertainly of life and death,— that you are but a man— that you may be a convert to the worm before ' von can wield the sceptre of ; m infant Princess— that this " infant has, in case of necessity, a rightful guardian ' in a Royal and exalted Protestant relative, and that the " best and proudest blood of England shall be shed in the ' defence of that Prince and his Royal House— if, Duke— if, I say, your Highness knows that these thipgs are so, ' or may be so, then, in God's name, I conjure you to 8 restore peace, if peace be yet in your power, and to give 5 it to that wretched country, of which your I- Iighness's vanity makes you ashamed to be called a native. Does I not your Highness know that if you ever deserved the r name of a brave soldier, or an honest man, you could e not take a more just or likely method of retaining those i. invaluable gems in your coronet than by coming forward s boldly, and like a man, in the Mouse of Lords, and by it acknowledging the mischief arising from that error which l your ignorance had led you to commit ? I believe, that s however late you mav appear on the ground, in this act it of justice and integrity, you will ultimately do better - for yourself, and for the noble palace which you are now constructing, than in running any risk to encounter t a desperately ambitious measure which is new not merely suspected by the public, but actually canvassed and discussed in every political conversation. It would be idle in me to suppose that your Highness was ignorant of my meaning. If I discover yourhireling press again daring to calumniate my Royal Master, the Duke of Cumberland, I shall, with God's blessing, hold your Highness up to public view, and unmask you more openly than you have been hitherto exposed to your be- trayed country ; I shall do so in defiance of your High- ness, your Whig Attorney- General, the whole Cabinet, and the Popish mob of Ireland into the bargain, for I am determined to try, either by the sacrifice of my own life, or your Highness's head, whether it be in your power to keep the Protestants of my native land in the degraded, miserable, and humiliated state, to which, i ignorance, treachery, duced, if any of the means by which grace is commu- nicated to the heart, should inspire the same person with the principles and the faith of the Gospel; converting him from whatever is evil in his ways, and thus removing all the accumulation which sin adds to poverty reconciling him to hardships and privations, as the intended trial of his faith, the lot of many of God's most approved servants : and lighting up the darkness of this world by the rays which precede that which is to come the earnest of a brighter dawn. Compare, I pray, these two pictures, and then admire with me, for what can he more worthy of admiration, the blessing which God designed for man ; and deplore with me, for what, more deserves your lamentation, the blindness of man who refuses the good, and keeps to himself the evil: and resolve with me, for there is need of your resolution, that as far as in you lies you will make the mercies of God available, and disseminate those principles which ambition, and artiiice have reduced them— One word more. There is not a sensible man in the kingdom who believes the flippant and well- contrived report that your Highness's eldest 6on is about to be mar- ried to the accomplished daughter of your physician. Trust me that we know your Highness too well. Long- long since has your Highness aspired to a higher prize for the heir of Apsley Palace. Do you understand me, Duke? If not, my next shall speak in plainer terms than those which bewildered my Lord Lyndhurst in the interesting story of Uncle Toby and Corporal Trim. I will watch you— I will unmask you. I have the power to do the first— I have the power and courage to do both ; but as I once told your Highness, ' you are already watched by deeper and wiser heads than mine.' "— The exalt the low, and enrich the poor ; which tf- ach men to rejoice even in tribulation, and render a Lazarus the ; object of envy to a Dives. And can these thirgs be? i ' O Lord God, thou knowest.'— Earnestness, disinter- i estedness, simplicity, godly sincerity, patience in teach- ! ing, watchfulness in seizing the favourable moment for \ counsel, are known to overcome that which seems most hopeless ; the effects of natural corruption inflamed by evil example, and strengthened by habits of wilful dis- obedience— It will be asked, however, who is suffi- cient for these things ? Certainly in our large parishes it is not possible for the strength or activity of the Clergy alone to provide for such individual instruction. But there is a resource at hand.

Of all the modes of relieving the rural tenantry, that of the landlords allowing them time for the payment of their rents is the most desirable. We are not sure whether, under the peculiar circumstances of the late harvest and of the present season, credit given till March may not be a greater boon than an actual de- duction allowed from the rent if paid between Michael- mas and Christmas. Those acquainted with agricultural affairs must be aware how many reasons there are why farmers should not be compelled to thrash out their own corn in histe : how desirable, for instance, is it that small farmers, who must sell, should not have to com- pete unnecessarily with great ones, as well as that the ptiblic should be supplied from the grower, and not from the middle man; and, above all, how greatly grain of every description, in all years, but especially after such a harvest as the last, ameliorates both in the mow and in the stack— Morning herald. Extract of a letter from an Officer in the 16th Lancers to his brother- in- law :— " Camp near Bhurtpore, Feb. 7, 1828. " The Jauts profess to neither give nor receive quarter, and the most horrible sight I ever saw was the following day to the storm. I went round the walls, and found five or six thousand of the garrison lying dead,— the artillery- men under their guns, which they had never thought of quitting,— and the Sepoys strewed in every direction, so as to make it difficult to pass without tread- ig on a body. A soldier's blood by this time is as cool as yours, Jack, and you may judge of my feelings y your own, when I tell you that at each gateway there refuse left from the press is an excellent food for pigs."

Tooth ache.— The best application is said to be cotton, repeatedly saturated with a mixture composed of one part of finely- powdered alum, and ten parts of sulphuric ether. In till instances out of 100 this will, it is confidently said, effect a cure. A most effective and infallible cure for chil- blains and chapped hands may not be found useless, par- ticularly at this season of the year. It is nothing more than, bight and morning, fomenting the parts affected with strong brine ( in which saltpetre has been used), as hot as can be borne. Once or twice for the hands when chapped, is generally found sufficient.

CHRISTMAS EVE.— This is the vigil of that solemn festival which commemorates the day that gave " To man a SAVIOUR— freedom to the slave." In the last days of Advent, the Calabrian minstrels en- ter Rome, and are to be seen in every street, saluting the shrines of a Virgin Mother with their wild music, under the traditional notion of soothing her until the time of her infant's birth at the approaching Christmas. Just before Christmas, the minstrels descend from the moun- tains of Naples and Borne, in order to play before the pictures of the Virgin and Child, which are placed in various parts of every Italian town. " Christmas carols" are now fast travelling out of notice and use. They are scarcely known to many but as matter of legendary record. Carol is considered to be derived from cantarc, to sing, and rota, an interiection of iov : such is Bourne's deri- were five or six hundred carcasses lying one upon another, in all the attitudes of death you can imagine a human being to exhibit on such an occasion; and as in sudden death the countenance retains the expression of the last | moment of feeling, you might read defiance, fear, resig- nation, and fury, in the same assemblage of bodies. The { expression of agony and pain was beyond description, i These gallant soldiers wore a dress made like an English- woman's warm winter- pelisse of two pieces of dyed calico, stuffed with raw cotton, and quilted, which garment was intended to serve the double purpose of warmth and armour, as a sword would not cut through. In conse- quence, when our people came in close contact with them at those gateways, where the enemy could retreat no further, their dress caught fire, and as hundreds fell one upon another, many were burnt, both of the wounded and the dead. I was so horror- struck, that I could have knelt down, resigned my commission, and have forsworn war in all its circumstances; and I am not very squeamish either, for I have seen many horrible sights in my time, but certainly none like to this."

Mr. Humphries addressed the jury for Mr. Isaacson, one of the defendants. He said he thought it would have been more consistent with justice to have brought the libeller himself— if indeed it were a libel— before the Court, to answer in his own person for what he had written— Mr. Alexander ( one of the defendants) said, that with the libel, and the person who wrote it, he had nothing whatever to do, and he attributed the present prosecution to a design of the Ministry, to restrain the liberty of the press, and crush those who dared to oppose it The Attorney- General addressed the jury in reply He stated that this proceeding was not instituted by the Duke of Wellington, for the purpose of prosecut- ing the newspaper; but not being able legally to prove who was the author, he had no other alternative— The Lord Chief Justice summed up. He gave it as his opinion that the publication was clearly a libel; and there could be no doubt that the highest character in the land had an equal right with the meanest subject, and was authorized in coming into Court to vindicate his cha- racter against the calumnies with which it had been assailed - The Jury, without retiring from the box, found all the defendants Guilty. The King v. Bell.— This was an ex- officio in- formation, filed by the Attorney- General against the de- fendant, who was the editor of the Atlas, for publishing in that paper a libel, reflecting on the character of the Lord High Chancellor of England. There were other counts in the declaration, charging the defendant with publishing a false and scandalous libel on Lady Lyndhurst. The Attorney- General addressed the Jury. This was the fifth time iie was to address them on the subject of libels, and it gave him great pleasure to say, that for some time it would be the last. The libel had charged in a most artful manner one of the Ministers of the Crown with carrying on an illegal traffic in the sale of ecclesiastical situations. It was worded in the most in- sinuating manner, and was well calculated not only to bring his Lordship but also his Lady into contempt. The Lord Chancellor, from his high station, had considerable patronage. He was bound to bestow that patronage un- biassed by sordid motives, aud if he had acted other- wise, he had been guilty of crimes of the deepest die. The libel was worded as follows:—" It was generally stated in the political circles last night, that a certain noble and learned Lord, who enjoys great patronage, had been trafficking in Ecclesiastical preferments." It went on to say, that if any ecclesiastical appointments had been bar- tered, it must have been through the medium of his Lordship's wife. Every opportunity had been given to the defendant of getting rid of this prosecution, if be would give up the names of the parties from whom he re- ceived it. Mr Edward Panter, the printer of the Atlas, and Mr. Shepherd, a relation of Lady Lyndhurst, were examined. Mr. Bell then addressed the Jury. He was anxious to state, that he had no intention whatever to wound either the feelings of Lord or Lady Lyndhurst. The matter complained of was furnished to him by a confidential correspondent; and sooner than barter the trust reposed in him by those who gave him that information, he would suffer all the inconvenience of the present prosecution. The Atlas newspaper entertained no hostilities to any man. or any body of men. The insertion of the offensive article had occurred merely from mistake: mistakes occurred every where— even in this Court. Not long since a learned gentleman argued a case most strenuously, and shortly after discovered, on looking at his brief, that he was for the other side. A newspaper might be regarded as a mirror which reflected passing events, and in a moral point of view could only be considered re- sponsible for the shadow, ar. d not the substance. The Lord Chief Justice then charged the Jury. After retiring half an hour, the Jury returned a writ- ten verdict to the following effect:— That they found the defendant Guilty of publishing the libel, but, in con- sequence of the doubts they entertained of his partici- pation in the guilt of it, they begged leave to recommend him to the merciful consideration of the Court." Mr. Attorney- General addressed the Jury, and ob- served that the verdict and their recommendation were so completely in unison witli his own feelings, that he should feel great pleasure in forwarding their recom- mendation to the Lord Chancellor. APHORISM.— Wise men are like timber- trecs in a wood, here and there one. ' The same population which presses so heavily upon the Clergyman, affords also that variety of ranks, and degree of superior education, that many fellow- workers may as^ st the ministei and diminish his lahqurs." And the Bishop having shewn the precedent which Apostolic tiroes have afforded, when " persons, who, though not Apostles, not commissioned to preach the Gospel, were yet employed in many ways connected with it," goes on to say, " They have left us an example. Let the minister of a populous district, using careful discrimi- nation of character, select such as are worthy and of good report, and assign thein their several employments under his direction; they may lessen his own labour by visiting and examining the schools, by reading and praying with the infirm and aged, by consoling the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and pursuing the many nameless ways by which it is in the power of one Christian to benefit and relieve another. Such charity, even more than any other charity, is useful to the_ giver as well as the receiver : it occupies minds, which, for want of engagement, might otherwise prey upon themselves; and it occupies them in a way which better fits them fit eternity.— AVhat image more ex- emplifying the reality of pastoral care— what more truly Christian picture can be presented to our contemplation, than that of a minister uniting with himself the best- disposed, and the most competent portion of his paiisli- ioners, and superintending counsels, and directing plans, which have God for their object, and the eternal welfare of his people tor their end: seizing every opportunity of general and individual good, correcting mischiefs at their first rising, providing for the spiritual wants of every different age and class, and thus striving, as far as may be allowed, to present every man perfect in Christ Jesus— Nor is this any vis'onary notion ; pleas- ing in idea, but impracticable in reality, j Numerous parishes, of different degrees of population, have been brought under such discipline with more or less success. And I feel convinced that whoever is anxious to promote the glory of God, to assist the most important interests of his fellow- creatures, to confirm the security of his country', or maintain the stability of his Church, can ensure none of these greatobjects more effectively than by means like these. Without them, in someof our crowded districts of dense and extended population, the Church is lost sight of, parochial distinctions are obliterated, and the reciprocal charities and duties of the pastor and the flock are forgotten by the people, because it is physically impossible that they should be satisfactorily discharged." And his Lordship, allowing " the difficulties that wili obstruct a scheme of general superintendence in our large towns," proceeds—" It must not hinder our attempting all we can, that it is impossible to effect all we desire; that our population has outgrown our system, that our ecclesiastical divisions are imperfect and inconvenient. If we wait till all difficulties are smoothed, we shall wait till this world passes away. I am one of those who are inclined to expect much. I have seldom known any thing undertaken in the cause of religion, with a right spirit, in which some success has not been obtained. ' In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand, for thou knowest not whether shall prosper this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good ;' and surely there is a cause. Circumstances are at work in every part of this country, not more affect- ing its manufacturing than its agricultural population, which leave littie to expect, for a large proportion of its inhabitants, except hardships and difficulties. Religion is not more really necessary to these than it is to every man. But those are more evidently destitute without it, who in this world ' have evil tilings.' And further, it is the only remedy which we can offer. Mitigation there may be, but effectual remedy there is none otlier. What- ever comfort can be bestowed, must proceed from religion. Whatever temporal improvement can accrue, must pro- ceed from religion. For all the evils we lament, are in- creased by imprudence, intemperance, malice, violence : and religion teaches foresight, moderation, patience, and contentment.— Brethren, we must quit ourselves like men: like men who are placed in the breach ; like men to whom the fortress is committed. My firm belief is, that < if our beloved country retains its greatness and its comforts, they wil! be preserved to her by religion alone: and of religion the principal instruments must always be the parochial clergy. Every parish, the main body of whose inhabitants are living in the active faith of Christ, is a province gained over to the Lord's kingdom Every such parish is likewise another buttress added to the stability of ail that we love and value.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26. The Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Aberdeen' nnd the Earl and Countess of Verulam, look their leave of Prince Leopold on Wednesday evening, at his residence at Claremont, where they hint been slaying on a visit to liis Royal Highness for some days, nnd proceeded to their respective residences. The following are extracts from llie French papers:— PARIS, Dec. 21— A letter from Marseilles says:—" A respectable house in this city has received a letter from Malta, dated 18th Nov., stating that an En- glish frigate, the Isis, which sailed from Vourla on the 7th of Nov., and from Kgina on the 14th, has brought news that the Sultan has tiven orders to the Pacha of Smyrna to withdraw the Turkish troops from Athens and Negropont, and to deliver up those two places to the Greeks." DEC. 22.— It is affirmed that an august Personage, conversing on the present state of affairs with a^ person of distinction, spoke to the following effect:—" The hap- piness of the people is the object of theconstant solicitude of the King. Be therefore persuaded that his Majesty will give to France for the new year a present worthy of himself." The Journal des Debats states, on the autho- rity of a private letter from London, that the acknow- ledgment of Don Miguel, as King of Portugal and the Algarves, by the Great Powers, v/ as near at hand. A species of ultimatum has been submitted to the Emperor Pedro, and his answer will decide the conduct of the different Cabinets with rcspect to the affairs of Portugal. As this document contains a criticism on the acts of the Emperor, his refusal is considered as certain. It'there be any truth in a letter from Toulon of the 18th instant, the report of the immediate and total evacuation of the Morea by the French troops never had any foundation, or, if the intention was entertained at any time, it has been abandoned. The Island of Ascension bavins been found of much more importance than was anticipated, orders have been given to put it in a state of defence. The Emperor of Austria has ordered that Venice shall be declared a free port from January 1, 1830. Letters from Acapulco ( the principal Mexican port on the shores of the Pacific), of the 12th of October, mention that the Mexican brig Hidalgo, from Acajutla, arrived at that port on the 7th of October, after 14 days' passage, having on board fiie Vice- President of Central America, and 56 civil and military officers andfnnctionaries, all banished from that Republic. This is the way of transporting Administrations by wholesale; and, as Ihe march of intellect is said to be to the westward, it is to be hoped that so outrageously violent a mode of redress will never And its way back to the Old World. The great capitalist, who scarcely limits him- self to auy object, or country, whether a few' pence or a million or two'are fo be turned, is said to have been lately engaged in forwarding to the Bank large supplies of gold, contenting himself with the moderate gross profit of four- pence per ouncc for the transaction. We understand that there is no truth in the report that Mr. M. A. Taylor intends to retire from the representation of Durham. The hon. gentleman has for some time been seriously unwell, but we are happy to say is now mueh better.— Newcastle Chronicle. Yesterday being Christmas- day, the same was observed with every demonstration of peaceful joy by all the well- disposed My* cheerful inhabitants of the metropolis. The weather, to be sure, was inclement, but seasonable ; the remembrance of the anniversary was sufficient to disarm winter of its rigours, and to infuse a heart and soul- stirring energy and warmth. Gratitude for the return of the day which has conferred so many blessings on mankind, left nothing for recollection but the mercies which were disclosed to the wandering children of the world some eighteen hundred and thirty years now gone- by. It is those recollections which attune the mind in the midst of affliction, and give it the right bias. The sea of politics is avoided during this season of mirth, and the appearance of the streets yesterday presented nothing but pleased nnd pleasing countenances, rejoicing in the glad tidings that Christmas- day had once more returned to sanctify their harmless and grateful festivities. We could almost fill our columns with the names of beneficent landlords and Clergymen, who, by their allowance of from It) to 25 per cent., have shown themselves feelingly alive to the distresses of the farmers; but even such liberal abatement of rent on poor lands will, it i6 to be feared, be of little avail, owing to the burden of the poor. The " Christmas fare," in spite of all the agricultural and every other species of distress, during Wednesday and yesterday came into town as plentifully as ever we saw it do in the most plentiful nnd prosperous seasons. Thus, for instance, almost all the coaches on the Western road, from Bath, Hereford, Exeter, & c., nnd on the Norfolk nnd Yarmouth roads, were laden, inside nnd out, with baskets and parcels, containing turkeys nnd other Christmas fare. The Hereford coach, tile Yarmouth coach, Norwich coaches, ifcc. had not one passenger; and they did not arrive, owing to being so heavily laden, till two and three o'clock on Thursday after- noon, though eight o'clock in the morning is the regular tjme.— Morning Herald. CRIM. CON.- R- An action, brought by Sir T Elmsley Croft, Bart, against Colonel Lister, for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife, v/ as on Thursday tried in the Court of Common Pleas. The plaintiff was the possessor of a very old Baronetcy; the lady was a Miss Lateward, on whom large settlements had been made, which seem to have had no inconsiderable share in her disgrace. The parties were married in 1824; in 1I12S a daughter was born ; and in 18211, in consequence of a tnost violent attack of illness, the plaintiff was obliged to go to the house of Mr. Scott, of Bromley, a a medical man of great eminence in the treatment of nervous disorders. His wife did not accompany him, but went to the house of her mother, Mrs. Marsac, where she continued till about September in that year, when, with the family of Colonel Marsac, she went to Boulogne. There the defendant became acquainted with tier, and by his seduction that separation which had existed for a time, partly from the bad state of her health since the birth of her daughter, and partly in consequence of the illness of Iter husband, was rendered permanent. There call be little pleasure to the well- regulated mind to trace the career of crime: suffice it to say, that the lady appears to be a worthless woman, of violent and ungovernable temper, and the defendant seems to be a gentleman of singular frankness and modesty ; for when taxed with the impropriety of his conduct, he at once . confessed to having committed adultery with the lady, and urged that as a reason why it was impossible for him fo think of leaving her ; adding, that his intentions were perfectly honourable .'— though, with all these honourable ptctensions, Mr. Codd, an army agent, deposed that the defendant had observed to him, that he' thought he should have been a great fool had he not taken the opportunity of ( jetting 3000/. a year when it was offered to him— that being the amount of the money settled on Lady Croft.— The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff — Damages, Two Thousand Five Hundred Pounds. John Russell, a man engaged at one of the factories in Chard, after having undergone several ex- aminations before the Magistrates in that town, was, on Saturday last, fully commuted for trial, 011 suspicion of having perpetrated the murder of Joan Turner, near Chard, His Majesty held a Court at two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, at his Palace at Windsor, The Recorder of London was introduced into tho presence of the King, and mail? his Report of the convicts cap), tally convicted in the Old Bailey j when the law was ordered to take its course upon William Newitt, for sheep- stealing; Thomas Thomas Maynard, for forgery in the Excise Department; Stephen Sandford, ar. il William Leslie, for a burglary in the house of Mr. Stultz,. j « Clifford street, who were ordered tor execution on Thursday next.

Brassy caused to be distributed among many of the distressed poor of the parish of Mel- combe Regis, bread and coals in proportionate quantities; an act « f such benevolence at this inclement season, that we hope it will be followed by those who have the power of alleviating the sufferings of our fellow- creatures.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of Rom- sey took place at the town- hall, on Thursday last, ( the Mayor, J. R.

D. Williams, Vicar of Romsey, Sir Wm. Heathcote, Bart., and Capt. Heathcote, liberally subscribed 10/. each. A numerous and highly respectable party celebrated the opening of the new market room at Stock- bridge, on Thursday, by a dinner there; Geo. Lovell, jun. Esq. in the chair. After the health of the King,— Prosperity to Stockbridge Market was drunk with much enthusiasm; and the healths of P. Green, Esq., G. Lovell, Esq., J. S. Penleaze, Esq., John Pain, Esq., the Magistrates attending Stockbridge Petty Sessions, W. Burty, Mr. Godwin, Mr. Budd, Mr. King, and many others, were proposed and drunk with much ap- plause. The chairman's health was received in a manner which must have proved highly flattering to him— The' party expressed themselves highly delighxeu wiLli the in- creased accommodation afforded by the new room, and with the dinner and wine, which did Harris much credit. Peter Green, Esq., with his usual liberality, has this week distributed nine fat sheep to the poor of the parish of Houghton.

SALISBURY.— Thermometer scale of Fahrenheit: Morning of December 21 st clear 1S 22d 20 23d cloudy 26 24th 2 i 25th 24 26th clear 16 In consequence of our appeal in favour of the funds of that excellent charity the Salisbury Infir- mary, we are happy to announce that John Thomas Mayne, Esq., of Teffont House, in this county, lias paid to the Treasurer a benefaction of thirty pounds, which, in addition to a former benefaction of twenty pounds, constitutes him a Governor for life. Our worthy representative in Parliament, Wadham Wyndham, Esq. has presented the Mayor of this city with one hundred and live pounds for the use of the poor during this very inclement season. The debtors and prisoners in Fisherton Gaol return thanks to the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Sarum for a donation of three guineas. The prisoners also return thanks to a Wiltshire Magis- trate, for a donation of two pounds, for providing them with a dinner on Christmas Day. Salisbury Infant School.— We are highly gra- tified in being able to confirm the statement we made last week in reference to the success which attended the sale of ladies' useful and ornamental work, in aid of the above institution. Notwithstanding the very unfavour- able state of the weather, the sale excited much public interest; indeed, we should have felt surprised if this had not been the case, considering the number and variety of the articles, and the great taste displayed in their arrangement.— We never recollect to have wit- nessed a more interesting scene; and when we consider the object which the bazaar was intended to promote, we cannot but express our highest admiration of the kind and benevolent exertions of Mrs. Wyndham, and the other ladies who so readily undertook to lend their as- sistance on the occasion. We should not omit to mentioi; j that an ample supply of refreshments. was provided at the expense of the Hon. Mrs. Harris.— The proceeds of the bazaar amounted to the sum of 16!)/. 6s. BtZ. We beg to inform the Subscribers to the Salisbury Lying- in Charity, that a meeting will be holden at Mrs. Wadham Wyndham's, this day, at twelveo'clock precisely. THEATRE.— The tragedy of Othello was re- presented on Monday evening, when Miss C. D. Burge, from the Dublin theatre, made her first appearance in Salisbury as Desdemona. She performed the character with considerable talent, and was very favourably re- ceived. The noble- minded but too susceptible Moor found an able representative in Mr. Harrington, who prayed with great judgment and feeling. Iago, Cassio, and Rodrigo were sustained by Messrs. Beverley, Har- ris, and J. Penson with much ability, and the perform- ance gave great satisfaction to a respectable audience. On Wednesday evening the comedy of the Poor Gentle- man was represented. We have seen this piece performed we know not how many times; - and, provided it was played with any thing like spirit., have always retired from the theatre in great good humour. The performances of this evening were of a nature to call forth these plea- surable feelings in no ordinary degree. The parts of Sir Robert Bramble, Ollapod, and Stephen Harrowby were excellently performed by Mr. Penson and his two sons, Messrs. G. and J. Penson ( the former from the Theatre- Royal, Covent- garden). Seldom have we witnessed any thing better than the manager's representation of the character of the argumentative and benevolent Sir Robert. Lieutenant Worthington, Corporal Foss, and Frederick were very respectably performed by Messrs. Harrington, Beverley, and Harris ; and the dignity of the Mac Tabs was ably and amusingly kept up by Mrs. Old. We were sorry to observe that the auditory was far from numerous. Sure we are that, with a company of such talent as the one now performing in this city, nothing but the incle- mency of the weather can account for the scantiness of of the audience at so pleasing an entertainment as that of Wednesday evening. Our friends had a great treat at our Assembly Rooms on Tuesday evening last in Mr. Lucas's Concert, the performers at which consisted principally of young persons who had received their education at the Royal Academy of Music in London. This institution, though not of long duration, has already done wonders for the musical world. Young persons of talent are there re ceived, and scientifically instructed in the art of music, and at an early age acquire a taste and an execution such as a few years since would scarcely have been credited. Of the utility of this institution we had a most gratifying proof on Tuesday night. The performance of Mr. C. Lucas on the violoncello, Mr. Blagrove's variations on the violin, and Mr. Daniell's fantasia on the horn, drew forth the warmest applause of the company. Miss Childe was rapturously encored in her beautiful little ballad of " Alice Gray;" as was Mr. Seguin, who lias the finest bass voice we have almost ever heard, in Callcott's " Friend of the Brave !" Here we must not forget our old friends Messrs. Ball and Godwin, who sung most beautifully Bishop's duet of " Can you, my comrade, e'er forget." The latter was deservedly encored ill his song of " O give me but my Arab steed."— The Ball which followed the Concert was kept up with considerable spirit to a lal<_ hour— In consequence cf the heavy snow and the great severity of the weather, the room was not so foil as we had anticipated; still there were not less than 200 persons present, amongst whom we noticed— The Hon. and Rev. F. P. Bouverie and Lady; the Hon. Mrs. Harris; the Hon. Sidney Herbert; the Very Rev. the Dean of Sarum; Wadham Wyndham, Esq. M. P. and Lady ; Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery; Mrs. Marsh; Mrs. and Miss Powell, & c. & c. & c. It will be seen by an advertisement in ano- ther part or this paper, that a Sermon will be preached on Tuesday evening next at the Independent Chapel, Scot's Lane, in behalf of the Moravian Missions to the benighted regions of Africa and America. We earnestly hope that this appeal to the benevolent feelings of those who have the interests of Christianity at heart, and who would wish to see the light of the gospel overshadowing the whole earth, " as the waters cover the sea," will not be made in vain, but that Christians of all denominations will come forward in behalf of the efforts of these, the oldest and most fervent setters forth of the blessings of salvation to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death. Our Market has been exceedingly well sup- plied with; beef this Christmas; but we think the best meat we ever saw was a Devonshire ox killed by Mr. Thos. Marlow, of this city, which was bred and grazed by Mr. Robt. Lindon, of North Potherton, near Bridge- water. We understand it was six years old, and had been grazing three yearr. On Wednesday night the larder of Edward Hinxman, Esq. of Little Durnford, was broken open by some daring villains, and upwards of 150 lbs. weight of meat, which had been provided for the poor, stolen from thence. The perpetrators of this nefarious act re- main as yet undiscovered. Married on Thursday last, by the Rev. J. Greenly, at St. Thomas's Church, Mr. J. R. Gatrill to Miss Hannah Matcham, both of this city; and at the same time, Mr. C. Cheater to Miss Phoebe Godwin, late of Bulford. On Saturday se'nnight at St. Pancras New Church, by the Rev. John Osford, Mr. George Clark, late of Dorchester, lo Ann, only daughter of Edmund Marks, Esq. of Euston- square. On Tuesday last was married al Spetisbury, Mr. Harry Valentine Stroud, to Miss Mary Gattrell, daughter of Mrs. Marvin, of that place. On the 15tli inst died, Elizabeth, wife of William Rodbard, Esq., of West Coker, Somerset. Oil Tuesday last died at Wincanton, Mrs. Horwood, formerly of the Greyhound Inn, in tbat'town. Died on the 14th inst., within eight days of completing his 80th year, at Penzance, where he had resided twenty years, in consequence of a severe asthmatic complaint, John Clapham, Esq., of Leeds, in the county of York. His long life was eminently devoted to the service of God and the welfare of society. He might have said justly what the great and good Dr. Parr said of himself, on his dying lied, to his family assembled around him : " From the beginning of life, I am not conscious of having fallen into a crime: my life, even my early life, was pure ; and I believe I was never false, though I have been faulty. 1 trust in God, through Christ, for the pardon of my sins." In like manner ended the life of an upright man, and a true Christian. Committed to Fisherton Gaol:— Charles Mus- selwhile, of New Sarum, labourer, charged with stealing five shillings, the properly of John Bunter, in the said city. Committed to the House of Correction, Devizes:— Wra. Davis, of Corsham ; Henry Gomm, of Sherston Magna; Francis Harding, of Fonthill Bishop ; and Thomas Tar- rant, of Milton ; for three months each, for breaches of the Game Laws. We have been favoured with a sight of that delightful annual publication, The Gem, the embellish- ments of which bear ample testimony to the appropriate- ness of its name. Where all is excellent, it might seem unnecessary to point out particular engravings to the no- tice of our readers; but Rose Malcolm, The Advent of Bacchus ( in which, by the way, we cannot help thinking that Mr. Howard has kept in view the beautiful painting of Correggio's Madonna & Child in the National Gallery), Saturday night. Tyre, and The Ruins of Trionto, are very fine specimens of art. The merit of the contribu- tions to this work appears to be by no means interior in attraction to its pictorial embellishments. At this season, when gentle gifts are passing from hand to hand, tfe can- not conceive of a more appropriate token of friendship or affection than The Gem. Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cychpoedia.— The ap- pearance of the first volume of a History of Scotland, by Sir Waiter Scott, must already be known to many, per- haps to most of our readers. It would be absurd to be- stow general commendation on a writer whose works are looked for with all assurance of delight, from the banks of the Missouri to the mouths of the' Ganges. In spite, of the untoward nature of Scottish history, Sit Walter has iUs. pla. yait ail ( be- peculiar '. acuities fqr which such summaries call,— that of taking in great outlines at one glance,— that of painting character by few strokes,— that of relating characteristic anecdotes with brevity and vivacity,— and that of minutely bringing out the circumstances of scenes and events which affect the feelings. The romantic and heroic lives of Wallace and Bruce, and the calamitous tale of Flodden- Fiejd, are striking instances of that talent which he reserves to him- self a right to exercise sometimes even in a summary.— Dr. Lardner's Cyclopedia, of which Sir Walter Scott's volume is the first sample, deserves much commendation, both for its plan and for his selection of persons to carry that comprehensive scheme into execution. A great treat is presented to the Antiquary, the Topographer, and the lover of the Fine Arts, in a work, two numbers of which have just appeared, entitled " Picturesque Memorials of Winchester.'' The views, engraved by J. Le Keux, from drawings by Mr. O. P. Carter, display great talent; aud the descriptive matter does credit to the taste of the author, the Rev. P. Hall. To ail who are connected with Winchester by birth, re- sidence, or any other fie of feeling or recollection, this plea- ing union of the pencil and the pen must prove a very acceptable offering.

[ 2484 To the Mayor, Bailiffs, Burgesses, Electors, and Inha- bitants of the Town £ County of SOUTHAMPTON. GENTLEMEN, RJPH E lamented Death of Mr. CHAMBER- - A- LAYNE having occasioned a Vacancy in the Re- presentation of your most rtspectable Borough, I am induced, by the solicitation of numerous Friends, to offer myself as a CANDIDATE for the high honour of becoming your Representative in Parliament. Residing in the immediate vicinity of your Town, I come forward perfectly independent in Ptinciples 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 tho steady Friend of the British Constitution. I will take the earliest opportunity of waiting on th « Electors individually, to solicit the favour of their Vote*. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient Servant, J. BARLOW HOY. MIDENBURY, Dec. 11th, 1829. [ 934A To the FREE and INDEPENDENT ELECTORS of SOUTHAMPTON. GENTLEMEN, IT having heen 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 0: 1 the some principles as tl- ose of that enlightened man. and that I am the strenuous friend of civil and religious liberty. I was horn, 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 deirra- dation in which 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 my opinion, the summit of cruelty. I trust a geneial diffusion. < jf 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'retort my must grateful thanks. I lament most sincerely that I have not resided sufficiently long in the town to ascertain, of my own knowledge, the abodes of misery, where I should ever have been ready to con- tribute my mite; but whenever called upon, I have an- swered the appeal, from whatever class it came. Should 1 ( 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 ar. d a constant residence here ; when, if necessary, I should not hesitate to abridge my own pleasures, to enable mc 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.
