A SIN G, BATH, and BRISTOL RAILWAY.— ' At a vpry numerous and respectable Meeting of the Inhabitant* of Bath ami its neighbourhood, convened by the proposed Basing, Bath, and Bristol Rail- way Company, and held at the White Hart Inn, Bath, on the 12tl\ September, 1834, Sir THOMAS FKLLOWES, Bart., of Bradford in the Chair, It was resolved unanimously— 1. That the inhabitants of Bath are deeply interested in securing a communi- cation, by railway, in a line best adapted, from the levels and general direction of the country, to become the permanent main trunk between the Metropolis and the Western Districts of England, passing in the immediate vicinity of this city, combining the greatest facility of extension to the manufacturing towns both in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, and connecting them with the port of Bristol. 2. That it would be inconsistent with the interests of this city, and with the first claims of a proprietary associated for an undertaking of such national im- portance, that it should be made subject to the control, or dependent on the cir- - cumstances, of another Company formed for a distinct purpose, more especially where it may appear that the chief remuneration will be thereby diverted to the exclusive advantage of that portion of the line upon which the traffic will be con- centrated in the immediate vicinity of London. 3. That this Meeting places the greatest confidence in the exertions which have been made, and are still making, by the Directors of the Great Western Railway Company in endeavouring to obtain the best possible line of communication be- tween the cities of Bristol, Bath, and London ; and as those gentlemen are prin- cipally connected with this neighbourhood, are identified with its interests, and not influenced by the wants or wishes of any other Company, this Meeting will not consent to support any rival scheme by which the efforts of the Great Western Railway Company may be rendered nugatory. 4. That these resolutions be printed and advertised in all the Bath newspapers. THOS. FELLOWES, Chairman. Thanks were then moved to the Chairman, for his impartial conduct in the Chair.

CURE for TIC DOULOREUX, < tc.— LEFAY'S GRANDE POMMADE cures, by two or three external applications, Tic Douloreux, Gout, Rheumatism, and Lumbago, giving instantaneous relief in the most pain- ful paroxysms. This extraordinary preparation has lately been extensively em- ployed in the public and private practice of several eminent French physicians, who have declared that in no case have they found it to fail in curing those for- midable and tormenting maladies. Patients who had for many years drawn on a miserable existence have, by a few applications, been restored to health and com- fort. Its astonishing and almost miraculous effects have also been experienced in the speedy cure of paralytic affections, contracted and stiff joints, glandular swellings, pains of the chest and bones, chronic rheumatism, palpitation of the heart, and dropsical cases. The way of using it is by gentle friction. It requires no internal medicine or restraint of any kind.— Sold by appointment of J. Lefay, by Stirling, 86, High- street, Whitechapel, in pots at 4s. 6d. each; and maybe had of Sanger, 150, Oxford- street; Butler, St. Paul's; Barclay, Farringdon street, and most of the principal medicine venders.

PATENT HOT WAT^| t APPARATUS, FOR WARMING PUBLIC BUILDINGS, CHURCHES, HOT- HOUSES, CONSERVATORIES, AND IWELLING- HOUSES. BURBIDGE and HEALY, being the original Manufacturers of the above Apparatus, after great experience, can safely recommend it as the best mode of Warming and Ventilation. The advantages possessed by this Appa- ratus over all other modes of conveying artificial warmth, are— lst, its economy in fuel; 2dly, its perfect safety from fire ( in proof of this it is highly recommended by the assurance offices, several of which have been warmed by B. and H.); 3dly, its neatness, as the tubes through which the water circulates, being only one inch in diameter, can be disposed round the apartments without being seen, or placed in coils under elegant pedestals, & c.; 4thly, the construction of the furnace is such that the fire can be continued from eight to twelve hours without attendance, and can be regulated so that the apparatus will give out. any degree of heat suit- able to the season of the year, for anylength of time. The Apparatus may be seen in operation atBurbidare and Healy's, 130, Fleet- street. Y HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT.

This Volume ( which completes the Work) consists of entirely New and Origi- nal Poems never before published, and is embellished with a Portrait of the Author, from an Original Painting by Thomas Phillips, R. A., and a Vignettp after Stanneld. " There are, in my Tecess at home, where they have been long undisturbed, another series of stories— in number and quantity sufficient for a volume; and as I suppose they are much like the former in execution, and sufficiently different in events and characters, they may hereafter, in peaceable times, be worth some- thing to you ; and the more, because I shall, whatever is mortal of me, be at rest in the chancel of Trowbridge church; for the works of authors departed are generally received with some favour, partly as they are old acquaintances, and in part because there can be no more of them."— Mr. Crabbe to his Son George, dated Clifton, October 29,1831. _____ John Murray, Albemarte'street.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.— A new drama, called The Queen's Cham- pion was produced at this Theatre on Wednesday. It is founded on some real or supposed incident in the eventful life of Maria Antoi- nette, Queen of France. The characters, too, for the most part, bear the names of persons who figured in the scenes antecedent to the Revolution which involved the fate of Louis XVI. and his unhappy Queen ; and the incidents of the first a£ t are supposed to occur about the year 1786, five years preceding those of the second, which com- prises her attempted escape in 1791- We have no room for a ( description of the plot of this piece; suffice it to say that a more interesting little drama has seldom been witnessed. The acting too, • Was admirable, and the " getting up" of the piece, as regards scenery and appropriateness of costume, was in every way creditable to the taste and liberality of the management. Mr. Vining's announce- ment of it for future representation was received with the unanimous applause of a well- filled house. The opera of The Mountain Sylph continues to attract overflowing audiences at the New English Opera House, notwithstanding the absence of Mr. Phillips. 1 he part of Hela was to have been under- taken by a Mr. Lennox, but that gentleman, at the eleventh hour, gave up the character, which has since been enacted by Mr. Bland. A new musical farce, under the title of My Own Twin Brother, has been produced here. It is somewhat barren ofincident, and not verybril- iant in dialogue: it is principally intended to exhibit Wrench in one Of the characters which he has so longheld as hisown at the Lyceum. Cosent- garden is spoken of as likely to open on the 22d; and Various novelties are said to be on the tapis; amongst the first to be brought out will be Planche's version of The Bravo, which was to have fceen produced at the latter end of last season. Mr. Bunn has been to the various capitals of the'Continent during the recess in search ol novelties, and is said to be now in Paris for a like purpose. Of the opening of Drury- lane nothing certain has yet transpired but it is probable by the " beginning of next month. " Lord Byron's Manfred, it is thought, will be soon brought forward: Mr. Vandenoff will appear in that character. It is rumoured that a reduction in the prices of admission is likely to be made, in which case a gradu- ated scale to the dress and upper tiers of boxes will be adopted. The Adelphi opens next Monday week, the 22d inst., with a rege- nerated corps draniatique, and a very great accession of stage- room, as the alterations now making in that department will be by that time completed. The re- opening of the Victoria will take place on the 29tli inst., after having undergone most extensive alterations in the interior ; the most material of which are an entirely new ceiling, from which will be suspended eighteen chandeliers on a new principle. The stupendous glass curtam will be restored, and the first circle of boxes will be divided by a lobby, making a double row of boxes, the admission to which for the front will be 4s., to the back 3s. To the second tier and pit the price will be 2s, and besides a separate en- trance to this circle, a private way has been contrived from it to the pit, so that visitors to either may ascend or descend as may suit their convenience or pleasure. The exterior, also, will partake of some embellishment; and the company, besides retaining all its old favour- ites, will introduce many new ones to public favour. HOP INTELLIGENCE.— H'orcester Sept. 10— Picking is now become very general. In point of bulk the Hops come down quite equal to expectation, but it is thought, that the weight will not tell so well. Some very fine samples- were shewn on Saturday, and four pockets " were at market, but they were very indifferent; they sold at 61. 6s. Yearlings have gone down to 61. Our duty is backed at 12,0001. The Duty of the Kingdom was laid in the Borough yesterday at 160,0001. A BRITISH TAR.— At the Old Bailey, on Wednesday, William Hints w^ s indicted for stealing 221. belonging to William Harvey.— The prosecutor was a fine specimen of th. efgenuine English tar, with a bluff, honest look, and an air of happy indifference. He had, it appeared, just come home fram a long voyage and was paid off. He • came to London, having fouriive- pound notes and two or three sove- reigns, the whole of his hard- earned wages, in his pocket, with a full determination of spending every penny of it before he went on afresh cruize. Being in want of lodgings, the prisoner who pretended to h, ave been a sailor , himself, kindly offered to provide him with a snug birth and a she messmate. The prosecutor with sailor- like simplicity • embraced the offer, went to his u shipmate's" lodgings, and got snug under hatches for the slight. When he rose in the morning he dis- covered that all which had been left to him was a " light heart and a thin pair of breeches"— his whole stock of cash and his quondam shipmate having vanished during the night. When the prisoner was taken, three sovereigns were found on him, the rest having been planted" away, so as to defy discovery. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.— The tar immediately jumped up into the box, and Shegan twirling his hat and hitching up his trowsers-— The Judge: Well, my man, what do you want?— Sailor ( ducking low): To recommend the prisoner to your Honour's mercy.— The Judge < smiling) : Recommend him to mercy? Pray what for?— Sailor: Why, as to that ere, d'ye see— The Judge: Because your are a sailor, I suppose ? Did not the man rob you of all your earnings ?— Sailor: But, your Honour, I never bears no hanimosity.— The Judge: I am afraid if we left punishments to British sailors, the laws would soon get in a sad mess. Well, stand down; and sailor, you should not get drunk.— Sailor: Notgetdrunk! Yes; it's wrong to get drunk at sett—' The Judge: Or on laud either.— The sailor jumped down, shaking his head dissentingly. At Okeham, in Rutlandshire, there is a very remarkable custom kept up to the present day. Every Peer of the realm, the first time JUe comes through the town, is compelled by law to give a horse- shoe to nail on the Castle gate, and if he refuses the bailiff of the manor has power to stop his coach, and take the shoe from one of his horses. This is called the " Order of the Horse- shoe," and it is common for the dostor to gjee a large one with his own name stamped upon it, and often gilt. There is one over the seat of the Judge in the Assize Half, which is of very curious workmanship, REVOLTING MURDERS AND SELF- DESTRUCTION. The following horrible transaction is perhaps unparralleled in the annals of crime. It is some consolation to find that the wretch who perpetrated so revolting a series of murders was not a native of this country:— Tuesday a sensation of horror was excited in consequence of a report being widely disseminated that a man named Steinburge, a whipmaker of No. 17, Southampton- street, Pentonville, had mur- dered his wife and family, consisting of four children, and afterwards committed an act of sel'f- destruction.— The circumstance was of so dreadful a nature that the report was not credited, except by those who were actual witnesses of the results of the awfully dreadful event, and the interest was so great that persons of the utmost respectability, amongst whom were nmny eminent surgeons, attended at the house begging for admission, but they were denied by the Police. It appears that Steinburge, the perpetrator of the deeds, was a German, about forty years of age, and was by trade a whip- maker. A few months ago he received intelligence of the illness of a relative in Germany, to whom he instantly proceeded with his family, leaving his business under the direction of a young man who had worked with him for a considerable time. He took with him a girl named Harriet Pearson, who had been in his service previously. On Saturday afternoon last he returned from the Continent with his family and the girl last alluded to, and again took up his residence in Southampton- street. On the following morning the servant over- heard Steinburge talking rather loudly and angrily to the young man he had left to transact his business, and it appeared subsequently that during their absence the young man had been acting extrava- gantly, and he was consequently discharged on the same day. On Monday night, about eight o'clock, the family were sitting together in the kitchen. Steinburge was very . cheerful, and the servant, by her desire, fetched a pint of beer and a quartern of gin. As soon as she handed the liquor to her master he complained of being very tired, and said he would retire to bed. At a little after half- past eight o'clock the girl was ordered to go home, and to come back at six o'clock on the following morning. Next morning at six o'clock, the servant arrived at her master's dwelling and knocked at the door several times, but she received no answer, and she went home again, thinking the family did not wish to be disturbed. She returned again at nine o'clock, and continued knocking at the door until between eleven and twelve o'clock, when a Gentleman, residing at No. 18 in the same street, conceived it to be very strange that she could gain no answer; and, having used every effort to make them near, he concluded that Mr. Steinburge had left the house clandestinely, to avoid the payment of rent and taxes, both of which he was in arrear. The gentleman hastened to Mr. Cuthbert, of Liverpool- street, who _ is the landlord _ of the house, and acquainted liim with the circumstance, on which they proceeded together to the building, and being still unable to make any one hear they broke open a door at the back of the premises, and on going into the kitichen they were struck with dismay and horror at beholding Mr. Steinburge lying on his back, with his' head nearly severed from his body. The kitchen and the whole of the deceased were covered with " blood, and a large and long butcher's knife was lying by his side. He had nothing on his person but his shirt and drawers. They called a policeman, and took him into the kitchen to witness the dreadful sight, after which they proceeded up stairs to the bedroom in which the deceased man usually slept with his wife and infant, seven months old. Here an appalling spectacle presented itself. The mother, who was . a fine looking woman, 25 years of age, was lying on the floor in her night dress, covered with blood, and her head was nearly cut from her body. She was lying on her face, as if she had struggled and fell out of bed after she had received the wound. Her innocent little infant was lying at her feet, with its head completely separated from its body". The bed and bedclothes were completely saturated with blood. The pillow was marked with blood as if the murderer had grasped hold of it to reach over for the infant, which it is conjectured he placed on the floor to cut off its head. These awful sights were sufficiently horrible and distressing, but still the tragedy was not yet closed. On proceeding to the second floor they found a small cot and a bed. In the latter Henry Steinburge, a fine boy four years and a half old, was found with his" throat cut from ear to ear, and quite dead. A little further from the spot Ellen, his sister, two years of age, was found by the side of the cot with its head almost severed from its body. This little creature, it appears, was murdered by her un- natural father in the same manner as the infant that slept with its mother. It further appears that H enry slept in the same bed as his brother John, who was five years and a half old. He, however, was not in that room: and on the parties proceeding to an adjoining room, which had been used as a workshop, they were petrified at beholding him on the floor with his throat cut, his head being nearly severed from his body, which was otherwise horribly mutilated, and, to all appearance he must have struggled andmade a resistance against the attack of his murderous parent. It is probable that when he was in bed with his brother Henry he saw his father killing his brother and sister, and he jumped out of bed ( he being found in his night clothes), and rushed into the other room, thinking to escape. One of the poor little fellow's fingers was cut off the left hand, and it was found about four feet from the body ; and the flesh was cut off the top of his right shoulder, as if a dreadful blow had been aimed at him with the knife as he was endeavouring to avoid his father, This part of the affair was the climax of the heart- rending catastrophe. The persons who witnessed the spectacle were melted to tears, while their - mingled indignation was excited against the assassin parent. The circumstance being so peculiarly extraordinary and awful it was momentarily spread like wildfire, and the excitement caused cannot be accurately described. Information of the transaction was forwarded to Mr. Miller, inspector of the N division, who instantly made every inquiry in to it., and examined every per- son who it was thought could throw any light upon the melancholy case. Wednesday a Jury assembled at the Vernon Arms, Pentonville, to inquire into the above horrible affair, who, after being sworn, proceeded, with the Coroner, to view the bodies of the deceased, when they found it almost a matter of impossibility to pass through the crowd, or to obtain an entrance into the house ; the thousands of persons around the railings made a rush, and it was greatly feared that some accidents would have occurred, and it was found necessary to send for a strong body of policej who shortly arrived at the spot and cleared the way. The horrid appearance of the mutilated bodies created a dreadful sensation in the breasts of the Jury and every person present. On their return to the inquest- room, the examination of witnesses was proceeded with. Harriet Pearson, the servant, having been sworn, said— Hived with the deceased's family a twelvemonth. I was not accustomed to sleep in the house. The last time I saw the deceased alive was on Mon- day night last, at half- past eight o'clock^ when the children were in bed, and the master and mistress i » the kitchen. The youngest child, Phillip, who was four months old, I put in the mother's bed in the first floor back room. The other children slept on the second floor back room. The two boys, Henry and John, in a bed, and their sister in a cot. I did not hear any angi- y words pass between them whilst I was in the house. Just before I left I was ordered by my mistress to fetch a pint of beer and a quartern of gin for supper. On my return Mr. Steinburge asked the deceased lady, whom I always considered to be his wife, if she would go to bed. She replied that " it was too soon. They then paid me my wages and told me to go home. AVhen I was going out of the room in which they were sitting my mistress desired me to be there at six o'clock on the next morning. My master laughed when she made me promise to attend to that order. At a quarter before six o'clock on the following morning I went to the house, and knocked and rang until nine, and receiving no answer I went back to my mother, and she returned with me and knocked and rang, but could get no answer. We visited the house again about eleven o'clock, when we saw a gentleman and a policeman entering the house; we followed, and discovered Mr. Steinburge lying in the front kitchen, quite dead, with his throat cut from ear to ear.—( The witness then went on to describe the situation of her mistress and the four children in the sleeping- rooms. She said they were dead, and their heads appeared to be nearly severed from their bodies.) . My master went to Germany on pleasure. I did not perceive any change in his behaviour while he was from home, fsaw no difference in his manner on the evening that I last saw him. He had some business to transact at Hamburgh, where I believe he had a great deal of money owing him; but I understood lie did not get any of it. He never appeared to be poor. My master was a very passionate man. When he was in a passion I have seen him pull Ins children up by the " hair of their head and ears, and throw them ( iuwn ; whenever he did so my mistress was in the habit of mildly remonstrating with him, saving that it was not right. He used also to strike the children at those time*,—( The knife with which the horrid transactions were committed was now produced; the name of the maker of the knife was Verender, St. Paul s Church- yard.) I never heard whether or not my master was married to my mistress. Air. Lewis Cuthbert was next examined, . and described the man- ner in which he with others entered the house, and found the bodies of the deceased. Mr. Steinburge, he said, appeared to be a quiet, tradesman- like man: and, when he took his house he referred him to a respectable housekeeper in Bloomsbury, who spoke highly of him, and said he was perfectly able to pay tfie rent. He witnessed some dissension between the deceased man and a person who used to lodge with him, and he thought he was a violent man. When he beheld Mr. Steinburge lying dead, he noticed a pen, ink, and paper on the table, as if he had intended to write something. Mr. Verender, a cutler, of St. Paul's Church- yard, said, that the knife ( here produced) he sold to a man on " Monday, between eleven and two o'clock. He could not speak positively to the person of the deceased; but his servant had no doubt as to his'being the per- son who purchased it. Frantz Hantz deposed that he arrived in London with Steinburge and his family. Saw him on Monday at the King of Prussia public- house in Lambeth- street, Whitechapel. Steinburge threw himself into all sorts of attitudes, and said he was ruined. Bruneish was there, and he asked him " Whether he was mad ?" He replied that he was almost mad. During the voyage he was thought to be almost insane. He complained of having lost a law- suit, which cost him 2001. Samuel Edward Steinburge, son of the deceased Nicholas Stein- bnrge, deposed that he resides at No. 7, Leigh- street, Burton- cres- cent. He had not seen his father for years. He has seen the bodies, and identified the bodies of his father and Ellen Lefevre, the deceased, with whom he cohabited. She formerly lived as servant in their family. The separation between his father and mother took place seven years ago, in consequence of his connection with Lefevre- Witness said that his father was very easily excited, and had beaten witness and his mother severely. He once attempted to put up a rope to hang her. He believed him to be at times insane. Witness was his only child. Brockhart Bruneish, the man who had been discharged by Stein- burge, deposed that he had known the deceased Steinburge two years. On Monday afternoon he made an appointment to meet the deceased on Monday night last, at eight o'clock, to take away his clothes, and to receive some money. The deceased looked very pleased. Witness told his master, but he did not go according to the appointment, as he feared that the deceased would have an officer m readiness to give him into custody for neglecting his work. In the evening, about nine o'clock, witness went to Southampton- street to leave an umbrella belonging to the deceased, but determined not to go into the house of the deceased, but to leave it with the servant next door. On passing by the house he saw a light in the kitchen, and thought there was one in the dt- awing- room. The deceased was very kind to his wife and children; he beat the children when it was necessary with a whip. Witness never received the two sovereigns that he owed him. His sister invited him to G ermany, and then charged him for his board and lodging, after he had lost his lawsuit. Witness never saw the knife produced before until now. Mr. Stirling here addressed the Jury at some length, and said that he could scarcely bring his mind to conceive how it could be possible for a man in his senses to commit the horrible crimes with which the deceased Steinbnrge was charged. There was no doubt that he had endured great mental suffering and disappointments, and that his mind was greatly distressed. It was pretty evident that his mind was affected, if they were to be guided by" the evidence of his son and the witness and Bruneish. He could see no reasonable cause to imagine that he was not the guilty author and perpetrator of the horrible acts laid to his charge. The Jury retired to an adjoining apartment to consider the verdict, and in about twenty minutes they returned " That the deceased Nicholas Steinburge, did wilfully murder Ellen Lefevre and the four children, and that he, Nicholas Steinburge, was felo- de- se." Thursday the bodies of Steinburge and his five victims were remove4 from the house in Southampton- street to the Clerkenwell bone- house, and at eleven o'clock at night, pursuant to the Coroner's war- rant, the mortal remains of the murderer were interred in the Poor- ground of Clerkenwell parish, in Ray- street. Immense crowds were assembled round the north entrance of St. James's Church. At the above hour, Bugg and Mountstevens, the beadles; Mr. West, the Master of the Workhouse ; and other persons connected with the parish, entered the vault where the body of the deceased was lying by the side of an old woman who had died suddenly. The indignation 01 the populace was so great, that it was anticipated tlmt the crowd would attack the remains of the deceased Bugg and Mr. West con- cocted a plan to prevent this, and caused the men to carry the shell containing the old woman to the eastern end of the church- yard, which was a contrary direction to that in which they were to carry the remains of Steinburge. The crowd, thinking that this was his body, then ran round to the eastern part of the Church, and, during their absence, the body of the deceased was brought out. The trick, however, was soon discovered, and people were seen running with speed towards the Poor- ground, groaning and hissing as they went along. The bearers soon arrived at the gate of the church- yard, where a party of police were in attendance; but so anxious were the multitude, that numerous persons, in a tremendous rush, obtained admission. A party of men, with lighted flambeaux, led the officers and the bearers of the deceased's body to a hole or grave, about 18 or 20 feet deep, and after exhibiting his body to public view, it was taken out of the shell and pitched headlong into the hole. When in the grave the men with the links shook them over the body, and made contemptuous remarks with the greatest levity. The windows looking into the churchyard were crowdcd by persons, who cried out, " Why don't you burn him?" " Hang him up on a sign- post, the wretch, the brute," tfec. The earth was thrown over him, and the crowd quitted the churchyard.— The wretched man had on the same clothes in which he was found after he had perpetrated the acts. Several persons, however, had cut little pieces of his drawers off as curiosities, and one man on the ground regretted that he had not cut the deceased's ear off before he was buried, so that he might preserve it in spirits of wine ! For some length of time past various articles of plate, table- linen, and other articles, belonging to his Majesty, at St. James's Palace, have disappeared by degrees, and the mysterious manner in which the property went could not for a length of time be discovered ; but the police, within the last few days, having gained a clue, a female was taken into custody, and underwent a long examination at Qiieen- square Police- office; on suspicion ofhaving been concerned in the above numerous robberies. Several pawnbrokers with whom various articles had been pledged by the prisoner, were in attendance, and the property was identified by John Jewers, a yeoman of the silver pantry, and Zaccheus Heale, a yeoman in the ewery department in his Majesty's household. On the prisoner being asked what she had to say to the charge, she said, that about three months ago, aperson named Hill called at her house- She had never seen him before, but she had a bill in the window, and he wanted to look at her lodgings. He took the back parlour, and agreed to pay her 2s. 6d. per week. He represented himself to her as, the head decorator at St. James's Palace. He had not lodged with her many days before he was taken extremely ill with a gathering in his throat, and was attended by Dr. Anderson, of Brompton. He was very short of money at this time, and said that he must be forced to send " to Windsor for 51., and requested her to pledge the tilings for him, telling her that they were given to him for his good conduct at St. James's Palace. A short time ago he left her lodgings 27s. in her debt, and she had never seen him since. One of His Majesty's household here said that there was a man; of the name of Hill, who occasionally assisted in decorating the- tables at the Palace. The husband of " the prisoner was called in and interrogated by Mr. Gregorie, and he gave a similar statement to- that of his wife. Mr. Gregorie said that, after the investigation which had taken place, he was happy to say there was nothing to affect the prisoner's character: her statement was straightforward, and he believed her to be quite innocent; he should not detain ier any longer, and she was discharged. Since the above examination a strict inquiry has been instituted at the Palace, and property to a much larger amount than could be imagined has been found to be missing.— Thursday afternoon William Hill, the person alluded to in the above proceedings, was brought up and placed at the bar, charged with stealing plate and other articles from St. James's Palace, the property of his Majesty. Jeseph Ewer, assistant in the silver pantry at St. James's Palace, identified the prisoner as being employed on particular occasions aa an assistant table decorator at the Palace, and as being the person alluded to in the first investigation. Mr. Gregorie asked him if he wished to say any thing at present, as he must remand him until all the witnesses could be in attendance ? The prisoner said that he had nothing to say, and he was remanded accordingly, September 14. JOHN b u l l : 291 NAVAL AND MILITARY. WAR OFFICE, Sept. 12. 1st Life Guards— Cornet and Sub- Lieut. P. B.

PORTSMOUTH, Sept. 12.— Monday being tiie anniversary of the King's coronation, the same was observed at this port with the usual ceremonies. The customary royal salutes were fired from the flat- form battery at twelve o'clock, and from the men- of- war at Spitliead, and in Portsmouth harbour at one; the flags were hoisted onboard the ships of every description, and also at the dock- yard. Royal Cla- rence Victualling- yard, at the gfun- wharf, and in the garrison, and the persons employed by the Government enjoyed a holiday.— His Majesty's ship Thalia, 46, Capt.

The Actceon, it appears, is not to be re- commissioned, as was intended when she was paid off.— The remains of her Royal High- ness the consort of Don Carlos, are to be interred in a vault prepar- ing for the purpose in the Catholic chapel at Gosport, with military honours, on Tuesday next at midnight. CHATHAM, Sept. 11.— The remaining companies of the 88th Regiment marched yesterday for Dover; the remainder of the 84th arrived here this morning. A detachment, consisting of three non- commissioned officers and 27 privates, of the 50th Regiment, with Capt. Macdonald, of the 17th Regiment, and Ensign Cobham, of the 50 th Regiment, are ordered for embarkation atDeptford, on the 16th inst., on board the Bengal Merchant, convict ship, for New South Wales. The Coast Guard service is to be immediately re- established in Wales, with various new regulations, to enable the officers and crews to be more on the alert to prevent smuggling. Lieutenant Lord Jocelyn, Rifle Brigade, eldest son of the Earl of Roden, has joined the service companies at Halifax, Nova Scotia, from Cork, per the^ Woodbridge transport. Lieut.- Colonel Tyler, h. p. has succeeded Lieut- Colonel Eckersley, h. p. as Deputy Quarter- Master- General to the forces at Barbadoes. Mr. W.

Ferguson, a seaman of the Ludlow, in Annatto Bay, Jamaica, himself in 200/. and two sureties in 100/. each, to ap- pear at the next Admiralty Sessions. An order from the Court of Directors has lately been issued in India, directing that no changes should on any account take place in the dress of the Indian army. Lieut.- Col. Clarke, of the" 76thRegt., died on passage fromSt. Lucia to Barbadoes, the 15th July last, while on leave of absence. The head- quarters and right wing in the West Indies are now commanded bv Captain Grubbe, the senior Captain of the regiment. Lieut.- Col. he was stationed off Tonlon. In October, 1809, he assisted Sir George Martin in driving on shore four French ships of war at the mouth of the Rhone, and oil the 1st of November lie took and destroyed eleven ships in the Bay of Rosas. In July, 1810, he was made Colo- nel of marines; in August, 1811, Rear- Admiral of the Blue, and in January, 1812, proceeded to the Mediterranean in the Malta, 84, to assist the Spanish patriots. In January, 1815, he was made a Knight Commander of the Bath and Vice- Admiral, and subse- whom he has issue. He assumed the name of Carew a few years since, when he became possessed of the seat, Beddington Park, which estate was bestowed on the Carew family many centuries ago. He was in the 74th year of his age. THE LATE REAR- ADMIRAL SIR MICHAEL SEYMOUR BART., K. C. B. — This brave and distinguished officer died on the 9th ult., in the 66th year of his age, at Rio Janeiro, where he was buried with all the honours of war. Sir Michael, in his early career, served suc- cessively in the Merlin, the Portland, the Mediator, ana the Ganges. He was appointed iti 1790 Lieutenant in the Magnificent, which he quitted for the Marlborough, one of the most distinguished ships in Lord Howe's fleet on the " glorious first of June," 1794, in which action Lieut. Seymour lost an arm. He was shortly afterwards appointed Commander, and during the five years he commanded the Spitfire sloop in the Channel he captured six privateers and numerous other vessels. On the 11th of June, 1800, he was made Post Captain, and appointed to the Amethyst, 36 guns. On the 10th of September, 1808, he fell in with and captured, after a close action of two hours and a half, the French frigate Thetis, 44 guns, and 436 men. Captain Seymour, on his return, received a gold medal from the King, and a piece of plate, valued at one hundred guineas, from the Patriotic Fund. On the 6th of April, 1809, being still in the Amethyst, he took, after a short engagement, Le Niemen, 44 guns, which had previously sustained a running fight, from half- past nine until one in the morn- ing. He was created a Baronet in the ensuing month, and was next employed in the Walcheren expedition. On the 26th of March, 1814, Sir Michael, then commanding the Hannibal, 74-, was so fortunate as to take another large French frigate, La Suttane, 44. In January, 1815, he was made Knight Commander of the Bath, and was subse- quently appointed to a Royal yacht. He afterwards became the Commissioner of Portsmouth " Dockyard, which office has been abolished by the present Administration; he therefore took his flag, and was appointed Commander- in- Chief on the South American station. Sir Michael has left several children by Lady Seymour, who was a daughter of the late Captain James Hawker, R. N. One of his sons has attained the rank of Commander, and was appointed to a sloop on his father's station. SPAIJN. attained the rank of second Major in the regiment. The Hussar and Lancer Regiments in the service are now brought to the restriction of one Major each, with the exception of the loth Lancers, upon the India establishment, and the 15th Hussars, several years on the home station. Lord 1' itzroy Somerset's list of visitors on Tuesday morning, at the Horse Guards, were— Sir Charles Pratt, Sir John S. Lillie, Colonel Delamain, Colonel Colebrook, Major Sweetman, Major Cruise, Major Law, Major Crowe, Colonel York, and about thirty other - officers. The King has been pleased to appoint Lieut.- Colonel William Macbean George Colebrooke to be Lieutenant- Governor of the Bahama Islands. LAUNCH OF AN IRON STEAM- VESSEL.— A very fine steam- vessel, called the Garryowen, built entirely of iron, 120 feet long, 21 feet 6 inches beam, and about 270 tons burthen, was launched, on Saturday last, from the yard of the builders, Messrs. Laird and Son, of North Birkenhead. She went off the stocks in fine style, receiving her name from the amiable lady of C. W. Williams, Esq. She is intended to navigate the lower Shannon from Limerick to the sea, and is owned by the City of Dublin Steam- packet Company, making, with a small one not yet launched, the sixth iron steamer belonging to them. The extensive brevets which one or two military newspapers take upon themselves occasionally to announce, are quite unknown in the public offices. In the expedition lately made by Dr. Gerard into the territories between the British frontiers on the north- west and the Caspian Sea, the ruins of an extensive city were traced at the base of the Hindoo Kosh mountains, supposed to be the city of Alexandria ad Caucasum. Various topes were also examined by- Mr. Masson, from which be collected upwards of 30,000 old coins, mostly copper, and a large por- tion with Greek inscriptions.— East India Gazette. THE LATE ADMIRAL SIR BENJAMIN HALLOWELL CAREW, G. C. B. — By the death of this gallant officer, which event occured on the 2d inst., the country has been deprived of one of the only three surviving heroes who commanded ships at the battle of the Nile. Sir Ben- jamin, who entered the naval service at an early period, obtained his Lieutenancy in August, 1784, served on board the Alfred, in the action between Rodney and De Grasse, on the 12th of April, 1782; and subsequently assisted in the capture of two ships of the line, a frigate, and a corvette. In 1791 he was made Commander, pro- ceeded to the Mediterranean in 1793 in the Camel storeship, and was shortly afterwards promoted, to the rank of Post Captain. In May, 1794," Captain Hallowell served as a volunteer under Nelson at the siege of Bastia ; he was also present at the attack on Calvi, and obtained the command of the Lowestoffe frigate on the reduction of that place. On the 19th of December, 1796, during his absence at a court- martial, his ship, the Courageux, 74, was lost near Gibraltar, in a violent gale of wind, with nearly five huudred of her crew. At the battle of Cape St. Vincent, on the 14th of February, 1797, we find Captain Hallowell again serving as a vo- lunteer, ulider the Commander- in- Chief, on board the Victory. He was next appointed to the Lively frigate, and soon afterwards to the Sunftsnre, 74, which ship he commanded at the battle of the Nile. From a part of the mainmast of L'Orient, which was picked up by the Swiftsure, Captain Hallowell directed his carpenter to make a ^ coffin, which he afterwards sent to his old friend and Commander, Nelson, with the following letter:—" Sir, I have taken the ( liberty of presenting you with a coffin made from the main- unast'of L Orient, that when you have finished your military * career in this world, you may be buried in one of your trophies. But that that period may be far distant, is the earnest wish of your Lfiincere friend, Benjamin Hallowell." This'singular present " was received in the spirit with which it was sent. Nelson placed it apright against the bulk- head ofhis cabin, behind the chair he satin at dinner, where it remained for some time, until his favourite servant prevailed upon him to have it removed, and in this identical coffin the remains of the lamented hero were finally deposited.— In February, 1/ 99, he again joined Lord Nelson at Palermo, and served under Capt. Trowbridge in the successful attacks on the Castles of St. Elmo and Capuso in July following, and was honoured with the Neapolitan Orders of St. Ferdinand and of Merit. He was ordered to join the squadron under Sir John Duckworth, and cruised for some time under Sir Richard Bickerton in Aboukir Bay, whose flag was hoisted on board the Swiftsure. In June, 1801, he unfortunately fell in with a French squadron, under General Ganthseume, to whom, after a sharp action, he was compelled to strike, for which he was afterwards tried by a court- martial, and honourably acquitted.— During the peace of Amiens, he was stationed as Commodore on board the Argo, off the coast of Africa, and subsequently served under Sir Samuel Hood at the reduction of St. Lucia and Tobago, and returned to England with despatches in July, 1803. H e sailed to Aboukir early in the ensuing year, whence he proceeded to Malta, and conveyed the Mediterranean fleet to England. He was then appointed to the Tigre, 80 guns, and accompanied Nelson to the West Indies in pursuit of the combined fleets of France and Spain. Captain Hallowell convoyed the second expedition to Egypt in the early part of 1807, where he remained until September, when The following naive petition of the public executioner of the city and county of Limerick was laid before the County Gaol Board of Superintendence at the last meeting:— " To the Gentlemen of the Board of Superintendence. The petition of JAMES RYAN humbly sheweth. That PETTR. has been the servant of the county as common executioner for 30 years past. The last 10 of which lie has been under the protection of your Honourable board. That PETTR. object in obtruding himself upon your honours is to represent that he feels he lias a just, fair, and lawful claim to the old gallows, which has been taken down as use- less, and an iron one supplied in its place, and PETTR. humbly hopes your Ilonoble Board will consider his claim as established from the facts ofhis being the only professional man who did business with it, from its being the idol of his care. Having never mounted the ladder of it without feeling a glowing pleasure at being the humble instru- ment of carrying into effect the wise sentence of the law, and render- ing the sight" of that machine terrible to others, which he now himself implores may be handed over to himself; that PETTR. now prays your Honble Board will take his case into consideration that liis department of life has been rather dull for some years Past and he feels that practise with him will cease with the destruction ofhis old work- Shop, he prays your Honors will be pleased to order it to him or any compensation which you may deem fit, and he will ever pray — JAMES RYAN." On a careful and minute inquiry into the condition of a por- tion of the female sex in London, it has been calculated that the number of females of a certain class exceeds 80,000; that there are at present 15,000 girls, children of the poor, who have no visible means of subsistence, the greater part of whom are trained to every variety of vice, and are without shelter or home. It is also ascer- tained that the number of female servants in London is 165,732; that the time each servant remains in one situation, by an average taken at seven different periods, is 462 days, consequently on an average 358 leave their situations every day. Seven out of every ten are young women from the country.— This is a very interesting calcula- tion, and does infinite credit to the industry of its maker. The ne cessary inquiries and investigations must have been extremely agreeable. The steam- vessels, and particularly those running between Scotland and the metropolis., are entirely superseding the Scotch smacks, and no less than ten of these fine craft, which used to sail between Dundee and London, are now lying idle. Several smacks belonging to Aberdeen, Glasgow, and Leith, have been advertised for sale, their owners being unable to find any business for them. A meeting was held in Calcutta on the 5th of April, to consider a suitable manner of commemorating the public services, < fec., of the late RAJAH RAM MOHUN ROY. The RAJAH'S family have performed his funeral obsequies there according to the Hindoo ritual. The King of OUDE has, it is said, appropriated three lakhs and fifty thousand rupees to found at his capital an hospital or infirmary for the education of native professors; to be under the management of an English surgeon. We find the following, under the head of " Lord BROUGHAM'S Vagaries,'' in the Leeds Intelligencer of last week:— " When one considers the sober gravity and dignified bearing which has up to the day of Lord VAUX been characteristic of the Chancellor of England, it gives one a disposition to laugh on seeing how the office may be thoroughly caricatured. There is but one step from the ridiculous to the subtime, or from the sublime to the ridiculous. The former part of this adage was verified in the instance of one of England's brightest and most dignified ornaments on the Woolsack, Sir C. HATTON, in the time of the STUARTS, being raised to that situation from being the Court dancing- master. When he had to work with his head in place of his heels, he laid aside his jigs and reels and frivolities, and did honour, as Chancellor, to the judg- ment of the Monarch who selected him. Lord VAUX has illustrated the latter part of the adage by converting the gravity of the lawyer into thejigging and waltzing frivolity of the dancmg- master. To- day we hear of him ( even oil Sunday) calling at a Leeds newspaper office, and leaving his compliments for the printer with the way- farer; and anon pausetting with the barristers at Lancaster, and playing at hide and seek with them, dining and drinking, from humble port to imperial Burgundy. Next we see him travelling incog, in Westmoreland to avoid shaking hands with the Grey coats; and anon gossiping aloud out of his carriage window with the Boni- face of an Inn in Carlisle, greatly to the amusement of the grocers' apprentices, evinced by numerous leers and sly winks. The last kick we have heard of his Lordship is but a trifle," but as all is history which relates to so great a lawyer and wonderful a Chancellor, we shall briefly relate it. His Lordship the other day ordered out his carriage at Brougham Hall, with the intention, we suppose, of making a friendly or complimentary call at Lowther Castle. He proceeded until he had passed through the great entrance- gate in front of the Castle, when, suddenly changing his mind, he called upon the post- boy, who had well nigh reached the front door, to stop and return. The driver found that it was easier to go on than to go back, and therefore be did so, passing close to the windows and great door of the Castle, and out at the gate again, without leaving card, call, or compliments from his dignified Lordship ! This amazed the wonder- stricken grooms and servants in waiting. There is truly but one step from the sublime to the ridiculous. His Lordship cannot surely have the smallest desire to establish a public drive under the windows of Lowther Castle," We have- received the Carlist bulletin of the 8tb of September;, de- tailing very minutely some of the late movements of Charles V. It forms a curious contrast with the contents of some > tvf the Liberal let- ter?- written from Bayonne, particularly since Colonel Caradoe' » arrival there, describing the heroic acts performed by Rodil's army,, and tiie hair- breadth escapes of the King. The bulletin mentions- the King's visit to Roncesvalles, and alludes to his reception by th © Canons of St. Augustin, the Abbot of which convent has a seat iu the General Cortes, and is besides a King's Councillor. So entire ist- the confidence of this Monarch in the loyal natives, that he traverses a large portion of the country with an eseort of only fifty men, and is amusing himself with shooting quails at the moment Rodil is- writing to Madrid that he has nearly laid hunds upon him. The traitor Rodil, at the head of 7,000 rebels, exclusively des- fined to hunt down the best of Monarehs, is frustrated in his designs, exhausts his soldiers by his useless marches and countermarches, and marks his movements by the most atrocious acts. He was unable to avenge himself for the four actions in which in the course of a month his troops have been beaten, and whilst enraged at his disappoint- ments he vents- his spite upon the defenceless inhabitants. The beautiful palace and six houses belonging to the Marqnis de Valde- spina, the magnificent convent of Aranzazu, and the houses of D. Jose Ramon Cestan in Leiza, and of the Colonel of the 7th battalion* D. Bernardo Zeubiri, in Viscanet, have been pillaged, and afterwards reduced to ashes, as well as those of General Erazo, of Colonels Oehoa and Sagastibelza, together with an infinite number of others* all of which have shared the same fate. There is not a place through which the usurpatress's columns pass that the inhabitants are not; exposed to the pillage, extortions, and violence of Rodil's soldiers. The above- named Cestan, his son, three deserving^ Clergymen of the town of Leiaa, as well as many other parish priests ami respectable individuals who have taken no part and never figured in, the present war, have been outraged, and Bound together and con » ducted to the dungeons of Pamplona. That which, however, ia unexampled is what these monsters have done with the mother of Commander Sagastibelza, on learning that they could not fire his house, that in which he resided not being hi* own. His mother, a, widow, ninety years of nge, blind and trembling, was stripped of all her clothes, even her shift, by Rodil's soldiers, and, after offering to her everv possible indignity, they brought her out into the street at three o'clock in the morning, where the unhappy lady heard the projects forming for the murder of her son, just left in the house from which they had taken her, and who only escaped by making the sacrifice of all he possessed. These are the triumphs of the seventh General sent by the* usurping Government to subject these provinces to the shameful yoke of a faithless- woman; but they deceive themselves. The natives will prefer death rather than be wanting in their loyalty to their King, for whom they are ready to sacrifice all that is dear t<> them. The court- martial on Capt. Lord JOHN HAY, the officers and crew of the Castor, for running down the revenue cutter Cameleon, off Dover, was opened on Saturday last, on board the guard ship Sat* Josef, in Hamoaze. The signal gun was fired at eight A. M., and th » Jack hoisted at the peak- end, and at nine the Court assembled; it consisted of Captain Superintendent Ross, President; Captains Falcon, Sir Wm. Montague, Lockyer, and Fennel. One of the.- reporters for the press, in the name of those who attended, requested permission of the President to take note& of the evidence; this was readily granted " with the usual restrictions," which is understood tdr imply that the minutes of evidence were not to be made public until the trial was over.— In consequence of a letter of Lord John Hay's, to the Admiralty, despatched immediately after the accident had occurred, their Lordships had directed the Court to be held, in t* letter addressed to Captain Superintendent Ross. The four survivors of the crew of the Cameleon, viz.— Wm- Gibbon, gunner; Thomas Newman, mariner; George Drew, a lad of sixteen years, and Charles Yates, aged fifteen, with George Lamerton, the chief boatswain of the Coast Guard Station, Townshend Batteries* Dover, were examined on the part of the prosecution, after whicU the Court was cleared.— On re admission Lord John Hay was called upon for his defence, upon which a question arose, and the Court was again cleared. On resuming Lord John addressed the Court*, which consented to receive evidence from any of the officers or crew of the Castor, exclusive of the following ( who were on the watch at: the time of the accident, and were named by Lord John as willing to take upon themselves the responsibility of defending the conduct of the officers and crew of the Castor, on the deploiable occasion that had given rise to the present inquiry,), viz., James M'Cleverty, 3rd Lieutenant, officer of the watch; Alexander Weare, master ; Roberfc Hopkins, midshipman of the watch; Thomas Carmichael, signal midshipman; and Joseph Hopkins, yeoman of the signals.— It wajjp- intimated by the Court to Lord. John, that in consenting to this the: Court was not to be considered as making any pledge, but they saw- no probability of Lord John being deprived of the advantage of calling; all or any of the officers.— Lord John, then applied for an adjourn* ment till Monday, which was assented to, and the Court broke UJt about half- past three. The Court again met on Monday morning* and the proceedings on this. unfortunate affair were finally terminal- ted in the evening, when. Lieut. M'Cleverty, third of the frigate, and officer in charge of the watch at the time of the accident, was- sentenced to be dismissed his Majesty's service, for culpable negli- gence on duty.— C. Cubley Whiteford, Esq., of Plymouth,, and J. E.. Elworthy, Esq. Devonport, solicitors, were the professional advisers- for Lord Hay and his brother officers.— The Deputy Judge Advocate was Geo. Eastlake, Esq. The Exeter paper says that the Defiance coach on its . way to that eity on Thursday, took fire in. the course of the night, in consequence of a fumigatory passenger dropping his igneous apparatus. Soma damage was done to a few parcels, but not to any great extent.— It i% to be hoped that this conflagration will put an end to the filthy practice of smoking either in or on such conveyances. A letter from Naples in Ithe Augsburgh Gazette, say s that, Lady- GARDENER, aa Englishwoman, fell with her horse down a precipice of 200 feet; the rider escaped with a broken leg, but th& horse killed on the- spot. On Tuesday, the 2d instant, THOMAS LEE,. Esq., jun,., of Norton* street, Portland- road, was drowned while bathing in the sea, on th « coast near Barnstaple. By the violence of the waves* he was dashed among the rocks, and his body sadly mangled., A number of the ducks in the water in St. James's- park hava lately been found dead, supposed to have been designedly poisoned A person was taken into custody a few days since on suspicion of having thrown coculus indicus into the same water to intoxicate the fish,, several of which were found floating on the canal.— The crime* upon conviction, is punishable by transportation. A Miss GREEN delivered a Fourth of July Oration at Augusta Maine. In closing this person makes the following remarks;— " If I shall have been so happy as to gain the approbation of those for whose sake I have so far departed from the strict limit which ancient prejudices have too long prescribed to our sex, I shall be amply repaid for all the sneers of witlings and fools.—. ( Cheers.)— I have been only desirous of winning the approving smile of the nobler sex for my sentiments, not for myself. And I say unta yon, Lords of creation, as you call yourselves, if you doubt my sincerity— I proclaim it here, in the face ol all Augusta, now assem-. bled around me, and you may believe me or not, as you please— but there is not one among you, TOM.

Our correspondent's article on the Nero Poor Laws' Bill shall ap- pear next week. The letter E/ VERAX, which appeared in this paper on Sunday, con- tains only an ex- parte statement, with which we ourselves have nothing to do; and any answer to which, we shall be most happv to insert. The observ ations upon the Bishop of LONDON'S Charge will be given in our next Number— as will a brief review o/ Mr. O'CONNELL'S letter to Lord DIM - ANNON. JOHN BULL. LONDON, SEPTEMBER 14. ON Wednesday their MAJESTIES arrived at St. James's Palace, and at three o'clock the QUEEN received the LORD MAYOR and Sheriffs, the Aldermen, Recorder. See., who had proceeded in state to Court, to present their Address to Her MAJESTY' upon her safe return to England. The QUEEN was seated on the throne; close by her MAJESTY on the right stood the Duchess Dowager of LEEDS, the Mistress of the Robes, and the Earl of ERROL, the Master of the Horse; on the left oftheQuEEN stood Miss BAGOT, and Miss HOPE JOHNSTONE, Maids of Honour, and Lady CAROLINE WOOD, Lady GORE, and Lady ISABELLA WEMYSS ; on the opposite side were the Earl of DENBIGH, Lord Chamberlain; Colonel WILSON and Mr. H UDSON, Gentlemen Ushers ; and Mr. MELLISH, the Earl of GOSFORD, Captain of the Yeomen of tile Guard; Viscount FALKLAND, the Lord, andSir W'ATHEN WALLER, the Groom in Waiting on the KING, and Colonel KEATE, the Field Officer in Waiting. Her MAJESTY and the ladies and officers of the Household were in full Court dress. The Deputation passed between two lines of His MAJESTY'S Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms ( commanded by their standard bearer, Sir GEORGE POCOCK) to the foot of the throne, where the RECORDER read an Address of congratulation on the safe etnrn of Her MAJESTY to this country. The LORD MAYOR pre- sented the Address to the QUEEN, by whom it was handed to the Earl of DENBIGH. Her MAJESTY returned a gracious reply to the Address. The LORD MAYOR then ascended the steps of the throne, an'd had the honour to kiss the QUEEN'S hand. His Lordship after- wards presented to Her MAJESTY the Aldermen, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, and the City Officers, who had respectively the honour to kiss Her MAJESTY'S hand. The LORD MAYOR and Aldermen then withdrew. The following is a copy of the Address and Her MAJESTY'S Answer thereto:— " Most Gracious QUEEN— We, the LORD MAYOR and Aldermen of London, humbly approach your MAJESTY with every sentiment of dutiful affection and gratitude, to offer our most cordial congratula- tions upon your MAJESTY'S safe and happy return to England. " The interval of your MAJESTY'S temporary absence from this country was soothed with the reflection, that the qualities that adorn and dignify your character would be exhibited in their fullest deve- lopment to the admiration of foreigners in your native land. " Impressed with a deep conviction of the importance of your MAJESTY'S presence and illustrious example in all the relations of private life and in those of the highest public concernment, we rejoice again to tender at the foot of the throne the homage due to the exalted virtues of your MAJESTY. The memory of them will never he effaced, and the influence of their example will be the brightest inheritance of our children. " By order of the Court, ( Signed) " HENRY WOODTHORPE. To which her MAJESTY was pleased to return the following most gracious answer, viz.:— " My Lord Mayor and Aldermen,— " It is with heartfelt pleasure that 1 rcceive the expression of your loyal and affectionate congratulations on my safe return to England, and I beg of you to believe that during my temporary absence my heart was still with that country with which, by attachment no less than by circumstances, my happiness and existence are so entirely identified. " I trust that, with God's assistance, I may be enabled to merit a continuance of that high and gratifying esteem which you have ex- pressed towards me, and which it will ever be my anxious wish to maintain." Their MAJESTIES returned to Windsor in the evening. On Thursday the KING visited Kew; and on Friday their MAJESTIES took an airing in a close carriage in Windsor Park. Intelligence has been received of the safe arrival of His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND at Berlin ; and we are highly gratified by hearing of the improved health of Prince GEORGE. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT and the Prin- cess VICTORIA remain at Tunbridge Wells. IT is seldom we are able to bestow praise upon the present Government. We duly appreciate the gentlemanly mind and feelings of Lord MELBOURNE, the amiable manners and vivid imagination of Lord AUCKLAND, the sprightliness of Mr. SPRING RICE, the sound policy of Lord PALMERSTON, the mildness and activity of Lord HOLLAND, the private virtues of Lord DUNCANNON, the sincerity, steadiness, so- briety, and charity of Lord BROUGHAM, and the various good qualities of Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, Mr. ABERCROMBY, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL— for Lord MULGRAVE too, we have a great affection, and for Lord LANSDOWNE a high respect; and nobody who knows Mr. CHARLES GRANT, can do anything but like him. Somehow, however, it hap- pens that when in combination these agreeable and accom- plished " materials'''' are generally very odious to us; and it is therefore always agreeable when our duty permits us to sound the praises of the public conduct of men, all so agreeable and amiable in private life. The opportunity now offers itself, and we most gladly em- brace it. It is known to the country, that a set of most ad- mirable regulations have been recently made for the manage- ment of the Exchequer. We do not intend, at the present moment, to enter into details relative to the minor offices, or the trifling difficulties which have interposed themselves in the way of utter ignorance and inability of the " new hands," with regard to the carrying on of the details of that most extraordinary crinkum- crankum pothook- and- hanger department of the State— we merely look to the HEAD— neither shall we, now, pause to inquire about Lord AUCKLAND'S two pensions, and the retiring pension, and the Commission- er's salary of Greenwich Hospital, and the retiring pension which his Lordship is to have— we go only to the one great thing which the Government has achieved. Lord GRENVILLE was Auditor of the Exchequer, and there were four Tellers or Talliers besides, whose offices are now, as the holders die off, abolished— the Marquess CAMDEN being one, who voluntarily has given back to the country something like two hundred thousand pounds of salary and fees, which he of right received. The present I Government put all this to rights! find when Lord GREN- VILLE died, tile Auditorship, which they considered a sinecure, was abolished, and a new office created under the title of COMPTROLLER of the EXCHEQUER, who by assuming all the duties of all the Tellers, and being constantly on the qui rive, would keep all the subordinates in order, rattling away public business, and keeping the hitherto slow- going coacli pelting along at the rate of ten miles an hour. It is for suitably, honestly, and disinterestedly filling up this new and important office in the most judicious and efficient manner, that our thanks, and those of the country, are due to the Ministers. They cast about to see who could mount the box and take the reins— the Right Hon. HENRY ELLIS, the retired Clerk of the Pells, had been promised it, we believe, by Lord RIPON ; he could not have it, because Lord RIPON had cut the concern, although besides being about the fittest man in England for it, the country would have saved his retiring pension of 1,4001. a- year had he been appointed to the new Comptrollership. BROUGHAM, perhaps, thought Mr. WHITTLE HARVEY would do. Be that as it may, the various candidates were all rejected— some on account of age, some on account of infirmity, some on account of want of activity, some on account of official desuetude, and so on— until at last, out of eighteen millions and a half of His MAJESTY'S subjects, Ministers selected Sir JOHN NEWPORT, Bart., to fill this high, efficient, and important office. It must be fresh in the memories of all our readers, that Mr. PITT, in the outset of his great career, was twitted with his youth— a fault of which that illustrious man, like all other men, was likely to mend. Sir ROBERT PEEL has been sub- jected to the same afflicting satire, and Mr. STANLEY' has not passed without some severity upon the same score. The new official is perfectly secure from all such low and vulgar sar- casms. The Right Honourable Sir JOHN NEWPORT— for he was a Privy Councillor in the reign of GEORGE the Third—• we think not of GEORGE the Second— is not likely to be obnoxious to such remarks ; this " brisk young fellow," the very " Billy Taylor" of official life, is now in the seventy- eighth year of his age, having— although he continued in Parliament long afterwards ( indeed, until his infirmities ren- dered retirement desirable)— received his official reward in the shape of an Irish Baronetcy exactly forty- five years ago. This is the Right Honourable Gentleman who has been taken out of his case, brushed, dusted, and sent up to town to assume the conduct of His MAJESTY'S Exchequer. GOD forbid we should speak irreverently of age generally, or of Sir JOHN NEWPORT personally— all things in their proper places, and all men in their times and seasons; what we cannot but admire is the exhuming of the venerable Baronet to place him in an office which has been created expressly for the purpose of getting rid of sinecures— an efficient sort of " rattledum slap" functionary who is to keep the lath- cutters and the pothook- makers in order, and who is also of himself to do the duty of auditor, four tellers, with all their deputies, and a whole corps of cash- hook keepers, clerks of exitus aud introitus, and the deuce knows what besides. One, who knows the world and the Scriptures, and who sometimes talks to us in a very curious way about things in general, likens the putting this 01( 1 Sir JOHN into this new office, to putting " Old wine into new bottles."— The Right Honourable Baronet's name entirely exculpates the Minister. What so fit to fill " new bottles" as NEW PORT ? We think the appointment a good appointment, and we like the steadiness of the head— the old head upon the young shoulders; and, as for Sir JOHN'S desiring to " rob the Exchequer," by getting his two thousand a- year, we de- clare, considering the undoubted benefits derivable to the country, we think him cheap at the money. THE public will doubtlessly recollect that immediately after the breaking up of Parliament, the Ministerial papers— we believe, the provincials, in the first instance— published a peecani- cyy'mg letter, purporting to he written by Mr. STAN- LEY to Lord GREY, apologising for the language into which he had been betrayed by the warmth of his feelings while making his celebrated Thimble- rig speech in the House of Commons ; together with an answer from Lord GREY7. Mr. STANLEY has felt it necessary most distinctly and en- tirely to disclaim and disavow the production so shamelessly attributed to him, and to declare that the correspondence so authoritatively given to the country by the Ministerial press is neither more nor less than a falsehood and a forgery. THE express from Paris which arrived at the office of the Morning Post yesterday morning, informs us, upon the autho- rity of the Gazette de France, that the messenger conveying the intelligence of the death of the late Queen of SPAIN to her august husband, was arrested at Calais, his despatches broken open and sent to M. THIERS ; and that, in reply to the re- monstrances of the Prussian Court, the French Government have insisted on their right to withdraw the exequatur of M. BARDEWISCH, the Prussian Consul at Bayonne. This special messenger, we believe, was refused an English passport or protection by CUPID ; but it certainly was under- stood that no interruption was to be offered to his progress to Don CARLOS. Now that the Illustrious Lady is dead, and incapable of feeling the insults which have, by authority, been offered to her during her residence at Alverstoke, our Government are most active in ordering every respect to he paid to her re- mains. Guards of Honour are to he mounted over her coffin, and we find that the magnates of the garrison and dock- yard have put themselves in active communication with her Royal Highness the Princess of BEIRA. The Admiral and Commander- in- Chief informed her Royal High- ness of the arrangements made by orders of Government for the honours to be paid on the day of the funeral. The ships of war in port are to hoist the Spanish ensign, half- mast high, at the main. The batteries will do the same, and fire minute- guns from the time the corpse leaves the house till the ceremony is over. A guard of honour is to receive the body at the Rectory, and be relieved by another at the chapel. The funeral ceremony, it is expected, will take place on Tuesday, at nine o'clock, and, the Gosport chapel being two miles distant, it is supposed that the procession will reach it about ten. The building is so small that it has been deemed necessary to en- large it, and with this view people are at work night and day. It had not been determined whether the funeral oration would be in Spanish or English. Numbers of well- dressed persons have flocked to see the coffin, and by their sad and mournful demeanour paid a silent tribute to the departed worth of an illustrious individual, cast upon our shores by those_ dreadful convulsions with which the Peninsula is at present agitated, more expressive than words could convey. The body is to be accompanied to its first resting- place by all the individuals in England belonging to the Royal Household. Cards of invitation have also been sent to the Duke of WELLINGTON, and Lords BERESFORD and STUART DE ROTHESAY. Alter the funeral it is the intention of the Princess de BIERA to remove to London, with the young Princess, now under her charge, and for their reception a house has been taken in Hanover- square. The body has now been lying in state for several days in the prin- cipal room' of the Rectory, hung with black. The coffin rests upon a platform with three steps, under a handsome canopy, and sur- rounded by eighteen large candlesticks, with tapers constantly kept burning, besides several branches. The body was put into the shell and this into the leaden coffin on the 5tli, when it was soldered down and immediately placed on the trussels under the canopy, with four Spanish gardes de corps constantly in attendance. The coffin is superb. Upon it is the following inscription :— " Maria Francisca Asis Regali ex progenie Braganza et Borbon, Joannis VI. Lusitaniae Fidelissimi filia Regis, Caroli V. Ilispaniarum quocpie Regis Conjux pmantissima, Ste.

The Directors are not in accordance with Ministers, and Mini- sters are not in accordance with each other. Lord PALMF. R- STON'S claim is a negative one— he must he something, aud he had better be anything than what he is. TALLEYRAND will not come back if he continue Foreign Minister, nor indeed will any diplomatist of rank or political character have any- thing to do with him. To him, India is therefore desirable. Mr. CHARLES GRANT'S claim seems to be uothing more than that he should like to be Governor- General, and as his younger brother is Governor at Bombay, he ought to be Governor at Calcutta; but to neither of these suggestions are the Directors willing to attend. The proposal of offering it to the SPEAKER, with his Peer- age, for the sake of trying to keep faith with Mr. LITTLETON, Ambassador and Plenipotentiary to his Imperial Majesty, DANIEL the First, Emperor of Ireland, is not altogether agreeable ; not only because the SPEAKER is not one of them- selves, but because even if they made to them this heart- rending sacrifice of patronage, Mr. LITTLETON would be very little nearer the Chair of the House of Commons than he is< now. Some of those whose opinions we value, and who are slow to form them except upon good grounds, speak as if the nomi- nation of Lord MUNSTER were almost certain. There can be no doubt, that with the acknowledged abilities of the Noble Earl, bis experience and practical acquaintance with Indian history, politics, and manners, he would fill the office with honour to himself and advantage to the country. The temperate course which his Lordship has pursued during the stormy season of newly- established disorder, does infinite credit to his head and his heart— yet we do not think that these claims, and others even yet of a more important character, will induce a departure on the part of the present Ministry from its inherent desire of keeping everything to themselves. The Directors are said to have an idea that Sir CHARLES THF. OPHILUS METCALFE, who is we believe the senior member in Council, would make an excellent Governor- Ge- neral. Sir CHARLES is, however, a Company's servant, and except in one instance, where it did not answer, we do not recollect an instance of a Company's servant holding the Governor- Generalship since the time of Mr. WARREN HAST- INGS. THF, single minded Dr. MALTBY'— by Divine Providence Bishop of CHICHESTER— is out Simmering SUMNER of Win- chester. Not only does he refuse to explain— as it is his bou'nden duty to do— the history of the. occupation of the Par- sonage- house of Donnington by a Unitarian preacher— not only does he avoid telling the Clergy of his diocese, who have a right to hear how this Unitarian preacher, this President of a meeting for the refusal of Church- rates, came to be invited to. his Lordship's public dinner in the Episcopal Palace; but as if not quite satisfied with the indecorum— ffi call it by no harsher name— which he has committed, he invites to his third public dinner— Father TIERNEY, a Popish priest, to meet his. Clergy. Lord BROUGHAM knows extremely well that his wig and', petticoats save him from personal chastisement for the inso- lence and insults in which lie deals. MALTBY, the Unitarian's- friend, is in a similar state of security, and may with impunity insult the Clergy, and even the gentry of his diocese and neighbourhood, by bringing them in contact with refractory Unitarians and high- flying Papists; but does this Prelate- really think that he is either advancing the interests of the Church, which he is bound to support, or exalting his own character as a Protestant Bishop, by so grossly outraging the feelings of his other guests, as he has now twice done, in bringing to his public table two men of the principles and persuasions which are held by Messrs. FULLAGAR and TIERNEY. GOD forbid that we should say that Father TIERNEY is a bad man— he may he a very good man for all we know— but this we know, if he he a good Papist, he is a very unfit man to sit at the table of a Protestant Bishop and his Clergy. GOD forbid we should say that Mr. FULLAGAR is a bad man— we know- nothing of his character, except that the only time we ever heard of him in public, before he was at the Bishop's dinner, he was presiding at a meeting to resist the payment of Church- rates— but this we know, that, good man or bad man, Mr. FULLAGAR is an infidel. If infidelity is to be measured by degrees by Dr. MALTBY, and upheld and tolerated by him in this public and flagrant manner, his Lordship may with equal justice invite Mr. CAR- LILE, of Fleet- street, to dine with him at his fourth public dinner. Mr. FULLAGAR believes two- thirds less- than Dr. MALTBY ; Mr. CARLILE three- thirds ; but, un- less Dr. MALTBY be a Unitarian himself— and, if he be, how much longer will he dare to retain the cha- racter of Christian Bishop, which must have fallen upon him, indeed, by imposition ? Unless, we say, this Dr_ MALTBY is himself a Unitarian, how can he permit the unbeliever to be placed amongst his reverend guests ? The Popish priest, with " his waving censers, his well caned saints, and his well- made wafers, his crossings, his kneelings, his freaks and his frankincense, his masses, aud his mummeries, is ten times more worthy of a place at the Epis- copal Board. An excess of faith is praiseworthy by compa- rison with a denial of the truth. MALTBY voted for the admission of Dissenters into our Universities— so did the poor dear old Bishop of NORWICH, who, nearly twenty years ago, prayed for Queen CAROLINE. And MALTBY voted for some other liberal affair-— what, at the moment, we forget ; but really and truly ( and we will not let the . matter rest until it comes to something more se- rious than a mere newspaper discussion) the outrage September 263. JOHN BULL. 3 or committed upon, and deeply and indignantly felt, by the Clergy and Gentry of tile diocese of Chichester in the instances to which we have referred, is of a nature. and character so grave and important, that, if not previously noticed by that excel lent and exemplary Prelate the Arch- bishop of CANTERBURY, it must be made the subject of an inquiry in the House of Lords, where, since the Clergy are deprived of their Houses of Convocation, such matters' may alone he constitutionally touched. OUR excellent contemporary, the Albion— a paper rapidly rising in talent, and increasing in circulation— says :— " Itwas Lord BROUGHAM'S desire that in the Speech from the Throne at the close of the late Session of Parliament a paragraph should be introduced, regarding the Church, directly the contrary in spirit of that Address to the Bishops attributed to His MAJESTY, which has undoubtedly done much to cheer and sustain the friends of the Church throughout these kingdoms. The paragraph was pre- pared, and was so far pressed upon His MAJESTY that it was respect- ful/!/ intimated that the CHANCELLOR would find it very unpleasant to attend His MAJESTY at the House, if such words were not spoken. The reply was, that if the then LORD CHANCELLOR did not, his suc- cessor would settle the question; and the words were, as we all know, not spoken." We are enabled to add to this statement the fact, that up to the last moment, the CHANCELLOR stickled for his favourite paragraph; nay, that the discussion lasted so long in the Royal Closet, on the day of prorogation, that His MAJESTY was delayed much beyond the usual time of proceeding to Parliament upon that occasion. When His MAJESTY did leave the Closet, he was evidently much agitated and affected. The point, however, was carried, since which hour, we believe, the CHANCELLOR has never seen the KING. According, however, to his Lordship's brag in Scotland, lie is a constant corre- spondent of His MAJESTY'S— of which brag, we take leave to believe just as much as we like. WE find the following in Monday's Morning Post :— " Rio de Janeiro, July 15, 1834. " I have to inform you of the death of Rear- Admiral Sir MICHAEL SEYMOUR, Bart., at five o'clock, A, M., on the 9th inst., after a short illness. The interment took place on the 11th, with becoming cere- mony. Tlie concourse of spectators was very great. The following is the order of procession:— Band playing the Dead March. Chaplains and Surgeons of the Squadron. Commander of His M AJESTY'S ship Satellite, bearing on a cushion the collar, < fcc., of the Order of the Bath, between the Lieutenants of the S/> artiate. THE BODY Borne by eight, seamen. On the pall were placed the naval hat anil sword of the deceased. Pall- bearers.^— The senior Captain of a British corvette. The British Consul. The American Commodore TAYLOR. Commander of His Imperial MAJESTY'S frigate Principe Imperial. Mr. Pox, the British Minister, and the French Rear- Admiral, Baron Le FREYTE. Lieut. SEYMOUR, as chief mourner. Principal Officers of the British men- of- war. Brazilian Authorities. Diplomatic Corps. Foreign Consuls. British merchants— four a- breast. Warrant and Petty Officers. " The ceremony was closed with three rounds of musketry from two companies of Marines." When we read this, we felt a deep regret at the loss of a gallaut and distinguished officer. We love the navy— our sailors are generous as they are brave; they are a race of men unlike all others in qualities and attributes, the sight of a British pendant fluttering in the breeze in whatever part of the world we see it, cheers our hearts : and of British sailors Sir MICHAEL SEYMOUR was a noble specimen. HE IS DEAD; and now for a few words— directed not personally against the late Chief of the Admiralty, but against those by whom that chief was commanded. Sir MICHAEL SEYMOUR was appointed Commissioner of Portsmouth Dock- yard, upon the death, we believe, of Sir GEORGE GREY'. The Commissionership of a Dock- yard had been always considered a certainty for life. When the Whigs came in, they resolved upon a new arrangement, and deter- mined, we presume for economy's sake, to abolish the one Commissionership, and create two offices of equal value in- stead. Sir MICHAEL SEYMOUR was told he must retire, hut, of course, not without a compensation— and what was that ? The veteran, in the sixty- fifth year of his age, who had lost a limb in the sen- ice of his country, was offered a command on a foreign and unhealthy station. He had no alternative— he accepted the poisoned gift, assumed the command, and DIED. But although the injustice and cruelty were here, in fact, consummated, we have not yet told all. As we have before said, two offices were created in lieu of the one Sir MICHAEL held— the Second Admiral who was appointed, took an early opportunity to quarrel with his senior, upon a point of eti quette, about that lovely and interesting creature Princess MARIA DA PUMPKIN DA GLORIA, since which it has been dis- covered that his situation is perfectly useless, and, as we hear at the Admiralty, is to be abolished. No doubt this new abolition will be rewarded by some new compensation. The love of innovation, and of undoing things done, may be extremely praiseworthy ; but when the well- earned rewards of long service are to be snatched from officers, and he who has passed a long life of service with the loss of health and a limb, is to be cast abroad upon the face of the waters to seek his livelihood in his old age, we must say that we do not envy the feelings of the cold- blooded Whigs, who for the sake of fastening two hungry adherents on the public, drove a gallant veteran from his quiet, well- earned home, to die upon a foreign station. which Lord BROUGHAM'S too- active Parliament did not do during the last Session, and after their most extravagant pro- mises and professions. The following is Flaser's list of their negative activity:— " We were promised," says Fraser:— 1. The abolition of the Irish Tithes. 2. The same of the English. 3. The reform and regulation of the existing Corporations. 4. The establishment of similar bodies in all the new boroughs. 5. The Local Courts- Ki\\. 6. Abolition of imprisonment for debt. 7. Abolition of pluralities in the Church. 8. Abolition of non- residence of the Clergy. 9. A general Registry of Births. 10. A Dissenters' Marriage Bill. 11. The abolition of Church Rates. 12. The opening of the Universities. 13. The emancipation of the Jews. These were the hopes held out to us by the organs of Government. Other hopes were indulged by other parties, such as— 14. The establishment of t'ote by Ballot. 15. The repeal or modification of the Corn Laws. 16. The repeal of what they grotesquely call " the Taxes on Know- ledge." 17. The shortening of the duration of Parliament. With divers other little matters, not necessary to be here particu- larised. And now, reviewing this brief sketch of the things which were to have been done, let us ask, not what has been done 7 for that would be cruel, but, what progress lias been made towards any one of them? The answer will be— NONE WHATEVER! But— some Radical may exclaim— why do you blame our reformed House for all this ? Have not these promised measures been all pro- posed to the " House of Incurables," and by that House been rejected ? No— the fact is not so. There is not even a plausible pretext for thus shifting the blame. Not a vestige of the English Tithe- Bill, of the Corporations- Bill, of the Local Courts- Bill, of the Church Rate- Bill, of the Imprisonment for Debt- Bill, of the Dissenters' Marriage- Bill, or of the General Registry- Bill, has ever been seen in the House of Lords. As that assembly must bear sufficient odium without the aid of falsehood, let it at least be excused the blame of rejecting Bills which were never brought before it. A " protracted session, with one act!" Such is the description given by the Morning Chronicle: but the Speaker himself, in his cus- tomary address to the Sovereign, placed the failure in a still stronger light. It is difficult to help suspecting Sir CHARLES SUTTON of a piece of dry and quiet sarcasm, when we find him, in recounting the worthy deeds of the Session, first magnifying the new Poor- law, and then, as it were, after looking around m vain for any other topic, coming to a sudden conclusion with,—" and tee have reduced tlie 4 per cents.!" " The powers of bathos could no further go !" This may be all very true ; but we think FRASER— after having exhibited his list of the " left undone" things- ought, in common justice, to have noticed the few things which have been done. Besides the Poor Laws Amendment Bill— the only amendment being, as we see, an increase of two thousand pounds per annum to Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS'S sinecure of eighteen hundred— the Parliament has achieved a most important object— one which will hand down their names to posterity in letters of gold :—- they have passed an Act to prevent the chimney- sweepers crying " Sweep !" In that excellent ode of HORACE, to which we have so frequently listened with delight, the hero is described as " Crying dogs'- meat! like a dogs'- meat- man" HISTORY has been opprobriously termed in Parliament *' an old Almanack." If some legislators would look a little more at their Almanacks, we should not see such provisions as the following introduced into Bills. A Bill for the relief of the aged, helpless, and infirm poor of Ireland, ordered by the House of Commons to be printed Feb. 15, 1831, contains this clause ( No. 152, page 6, line 16) :— " And be it enacted, That after such register as herein- before directed shall have been lodged with the clerk of the said petty sessions, a general meeting for the purpose of carrying this Act into effect, shall be holden on every twenty- fifth day of February, and on every twenty- fifth day of August, in every year, while the said valuation shall continue in force ; and in case either of the said days appointed for holding such general meeting shall fall on Sunday, Christmas- day, or Good Friday, then such general meeting shall be holden on the day next immediately following." It would be curious to know when either Christmas- day or Good Friday are likely to fall on Feb. 25, or Aug. 25. IN the excellent number oi' Froscrs Magazine, for the pre- sent month, there is a powerfully- written article— a small portion, and not the most iust of which, we last week quoted, in order to justify Mr. DFNCOMBE'S hostility towards the work, In that article is aa enumeration of the various things Blest privilege of dogs'- ineatism !— The sweep must not cry " sweep," like a sweeping man— he, like the country, must trust to his BROOM, and be silent— and a pretty tiling to trust to. We have received the following from an interesting young man, who once was as resolute a climbing- boy as the CHANCELLOR himself, and as fit to carry a bag as his betters; his genius is nipped in the bud— and, like many other unfortunates, cut short in the pursuit of his legitimate profession, he litis turned poet, and laments his compulsory silence in a sootable parody:— MY LAMENT. Oh, no, we never mention it, That cry is never heard, My hps are now forbid to speak The once- familiar word: For Parliament has made a law, And thrown us in a heap ; We're not allowed to walk the streets A calling out of " SWEEP!" The dustmen make a louder noise With bells of various size, And oyster- men and walnut- girls Rouse London with their cries; While I in silence see my wife And little children weep, In want of food, which I could earn, If I might still cry " SWEEP '." My brush, though like Lord CUPID'S head, In vain to use I try ; My shovel serves to catch my tears, Because I dare not CRY; And if I ever do transgress While town is half asleep, I'm took before Sir F. A. ROE Because I just cries " SWEEP !" I thinks the times must shortly mend, When Fate no more shall frown; When climbing boys shall reach the top, And Nobs come tumbling down. And that's the day for which I'll wait, My harvest for to reap ; For if the Whigs keep long in place, We'll have a GENERAL SWEEP. CLOUDSLEY SHOVEL, Jun. eminently conclusive, that Professor FARADAY has followed up a course of experiments with the same views. I beg to refer Mr. J. MURRAY to Professor FARADAY'S lecture for the learned Professor's opinions on all the bearings of the subject, and for the result of his satisfactory and conclusive experiments, worth a host of idle theories and ignorant prophecies; and I also beg you, Sir, to add the enclosed copy of a letter from Dr. BIRKDECK, the learned President of the Mechanics' Institution, so long and justly celebrated for his scientific and chymical attainments, giving that learned gentleman's clear and decisive views. Such authorities, so eminent for chvmical science, cannot fail with a candid public to put the matter to rest. I have the honour to be, Sir, your very humble servant, JOHN HOWARD KYAN. Ailsa- park- cottage, Richmond, Aug. 29. 50, Broad- street, Aug. 28. Dear Sir,— It gives me great pleasure to find that public attention is beginning to be attracted towards your method of preserving wood from decomposition or decay. I am so fully satisfied by the results which I have had the pleasure of examining, that I cannot hesitate in recomending it whenever I may have an opportunity, and shall, indeed be most happy to extend ' the knowledge of your valuable discovery through every channel which I can command. If you advert to the progress of many useful inventions, you will " find that ignorance, interest, and' prejudice, have inva- riably laboured to oppose them. You will not, therefore, be surprised that attempts have been made to injure your under- taking. You may not, however, have been prepared for an attack such as appeared in The Times of yesterday, where, under an affected regard for the health of the British seaman, the writer, as the concluding paragraph shows, degrades your plan for the purpose of recommending one of his own. That the writer was ashamed of his chvmical objections, the guarded and conditional manner in which tfiey are advanced sufficiently evinces: the mere tyro in chymistry would indeed easily refute them. The impregna- tion of food with the corrosive sublimate by the interference of ' insect life,'— that is, by the fe3t of flies, etc., and the absorption ' by respi- ration, and the cuticular surface,' from an atmosphere impregm red by contact with wood, containing in its whole substance so small a quantity of the poison, and that, too, partly combined with albumen, if not partially decomposed by it, are indeed subtle objections; but the assertion that in tropical climates especially these ships will be as injurious to human health ' as the quicksilver mines of Idria and Almadar,' is too ridiculous to demand the slightest attempt at refuta- tion. Nothing but the blinding and overpowering influence of self- interest could have compelled Mr. J. MURRAY to publish such a satire upon his own knowledge. By this effusion in the pages of The Times, your project cannot be deteriorated; and I have no doubt that you will not only retain the good opinion of it already formed, but rapidly extend it. That this extension may soon occur is the sincere wish of Yours, very faithfully, GEORGE BIRKBECK. Mr. Kyan, Ailsa- park cottage, Richmond. Sept. 10, 183- 1 WE see that the Times has handsomely and justly published the two following letters, relative to an attack made by a Mr. MURRAY upon Mr. KYAN'S admirable preventive of the Dry- Rot. As we ventured to express an opinion of Mr. MURRAY'S objections, we think our readers will not be dis- pleased to seewhatDoctor BlRKBECKsaysupon the subject— that, coupled with the declared favourable opinion of Mr. FARADAY, will, we think, completely set the question at rest:— TO THE EDITOR or THE TIMES. Sir,— Having read in the columns of your journal of the 26tli instant a letter under " the signature of " J MURRAY," in which the writer advances his own suppositions as if they had been facts already proved by experience in practical results, I request the favour of a place in the same respectable medium for the few observations I beg leave to make on a subject of unquestionable interest to the public. As the gentleman has not disputed the efficacy of my process for preserving timber from dry- rot or decomposition, which " is supported by so many indisputable practical proofs, and by the most eminent scientific and practical authorities, and adopted as it is in so many places by the first architects and engineers, I decline saying more „„„.„.,, , „ than that I can assure the writer of the letter alluded to that I have of spirit, an urbanity of temper, and a kinlness of heart, that ren- ' this appli- 1 dered his societin the highest degree attractive to the proud and IN the United Service Journal for the present month we find a paper exceedingly full of interest, and written in a style productive of a singularly striking graphic effect, called " The Last Days of Dom Miguel in Portugal.''' We should iiave been very much inclined to quote some passages from it on account of their excellence in a literary point of view; our induce- ment to do so, is greatly increased by the description they give of the departure of that persecuted and traduced Monarch, a description whence, more decidedly and satisfactorily than from anything else we have seen, our readers may learn justly to appreciate the statements of the Revolutionists and the hirelings, who, with the basest principles and for the worst of purposes, have overloaded the English press with falsehoods and libels unparelleled in grossness and wickedness. The writer, speaking of the treaty into which Dom MIGUEL was forced by foreign interference, says:— " The ensuing day a convention was signed at Evora Monte, on the side of Dom MIGUEL and the people, of Portugal, by General LEMOS ; and in the name of Donna MARIA'S Government, by the Duke of TERCEIRA and the Count SALDANHA,— a treaty which, in wresting the secptre from her Monarch, and the exercise of their free- will from her people, debased Portugal for ever. Her con- nexion with England was sacrificed,— her national independence, achieved by ALPHONSO on the plains of Ourique, and preserved from the Spaniards by JOHN of Braganca, ceased to exist,— and the ancient kingdom of Lusitania now became little more than a pro- vince of France. The hold Dom MIGUEL still retained over the affections of his subjects and the fidelity of his army became evident on the publication of the convention and the circulation of the address to the soldiery. The troops, who had so long defended the cause of the Prince, " assembled in considerable bodies and unani- mously intimated to the KING, that even at that hour his army at his command, would quit their stronghold and encounter the enemy in the field. To judge from the enthusiasm displayed by all, both soldiers and civilians, much bloodshed would have ensued had their wish been granted ; a nd in the struggle of despair, the invaders would, perhaps, have met with a victorious opposition from the children of the soil. Their offer, gratefully acknowledged, was however refused, and a scene of grief ensued, painful in the extreme. The ensuing days, from the 27th to the 29th, afforded full occupation to the household of Dom MIGUEL in completing arrangements consequent on the Prince's quitting Portugal. The junior members of the staff found ample employment in making out passports to en- able the disbanded" officers to proceed each to his final destination. In the reduced state of the KING'S Exchequer little or nothing could be expected in the way of payment; but the closing act of Dom MIGUEL was worthy of him, and will long be remembered. He issued an order for the immediate distribution of a portion of pay to the whole army, accompanied by expressions of regret at having no more to offer. But to conclude with the last hour^ reign of the exiled KING. In the evening, by ten o'clock, the anti- rooms, halls, avenues, and staircase of the superb edifice ( a palace of the Archbishop of EVOIIA ), the residence of Dom MIGUEL, was thronged to suffocation by the adherents of all classes, crowding to offer homage for the last time, and to receive the adieus of their master. Nobles, generals, ecclesiastics, civilians, traders, peasants, all had free ad- mission, and subjects of every grade were there intermixed. Loyalty, for the moment, levelled the pride of lineage and of rank. The private soldier and his general, the peer, the peasant, the governor of a pro vince and the youngest subaltern, stood side by side, anxiously awaiting the appearance of him tor whom they had risked till and lost so much. Could aught at this sad moment have consoled the Prince, it must bave been the scene so interesting that opened to his view. A curtain was thrown aside, and amid the eager rush at the opened door, the noble in attendance announced ' THE KING,' and Dom MIGUEL, supported by his staff, advanced to the centre of the room. As the last remnant of his followers knelt in succession, he raised them from the ground, and, with a faltering voice, expressed his thanks and bade them farewell. The feelings of many became awakened to the highest pitch,— some shed tears,— the grief of all appeared profound: several ladies were present, who added by their exclamations to the painful excitement of the scene. A n aged female advanced in the deepest mourning, and a solemn silence momentarily ensued,— all eyes were upon her,— I was told she had lost, during this desqjating contest^ a husband and five sons; her last and youngest boy fell at the recent fiifht of Accesseira. As the widowed wife and child- less mother tottered forward to the King, he prevented her kneeling, and offered the support of his arm— the attendant noble gave the private signal, and the curtain fell. " The personal appearance of Dom MIGUEL is strikingly prepos- sessing. He is rather below the middle height, powerfully yet elegantly formed; his complexion is of the darkest hue; his eyes are expressive, with somewhat of fierceness in their glance. In accord- ance with the fashion of his adherents, he wore a beard shaped like those depicted by VANDYKE. SO captivating were his manners and conversation, that few who came within the sphere of their influence could resist the singular fascination of his address, which won all around him to attachment. This his friends sufficiently proved in their desperate fidelitv to his cause, even to the last hour of his reign. I have conversed with" many, I believe with nearly all, of the foreign officers upon the subject, and I never heard other than expressions of enthusiastic feeling when speaking of the exiled Prince. " Unmatched in the athletic exercises and fierce sports of the country, the boldest horseman of the day, the Prince had a gaiety instituted many experiments to test the consequences of . , cation as regards salubrity ; and what is much better, and pre- spirited nobles in his suite. He, moreover, possessed that happy 294 JOHN BULL. September 14. facility of exciting tlie respect due to his rank, while he appeared to all with whom he conversed, perfectly at ease and free from the, slightest shadow of restraint. Dom MIGUEL was the idol of the soldiery. The occasional daring, but rash exposure of himself to imminent danger, rendered the announcement of his presence amongst them at any time a scene of prolonged and deafening wel- come. He always shared whatever privation the soldier suffered. No wounded or sick, upon any occasion, could pass without experi- encing his kindness. " Faults Dom MIGUEL doubtless has; but they are of the head, not of the heart— arising not from his natural disposition, but the result of bad education and early prejudice. He submitted to the guidance of ill- advisers. Lenient to a culpable degree, he pardoned traitors, and afforded them an opportunity of re- enacting their treason in the hour of his need, when punishment. might have acted as a salutary warning. But his character, let his enemies assail it as they may, is proof against slander; and it remains to be seen whether Pkor. o, after being driven from the Brazils, will, in governing the Portuguese, rival his brother in the affections of his subjects.''' This description— not only of the KING, but of his separa- tion from his loyal subjects— does not, in many points, agree • with the infamous statements of the Liberals. It may be questioned, perhaps, and pronounced to be a fallacious repre- sentation. We have, from the same source, a document which, at all events, is unquestionable, and will more satis- factorily shew the real feeling of the Portuguese nation, than any other authority whatever. The following is the exact state of parties in Portugal before the English, the French, the Belgians, the sweepings of the jails, and the collections of the scavengers had been hired to take the Usurper's part. There is no deception here ; and when it is read, we think little need be said to prove that the horrible civil war which is now raging in Portugal— at whose tranquillity our good KING is made to tell his people he feels the most lively satisfaction— is owing entirely to the base and bare- faced violation of the pledge of non- interference solemnly given to that deluded people by our weak and wicked Ministers, upon their unfor- tunate accession to office.

In conse- quence of this rumour a great excitement was created in Charles- town, and open threats of burning down the convent were uttered, but scarcely credited, till ten o'clock on Monday night, when a large mob collected round the institution calling out " Give us the figure head;" meaning, probably, the Superior, and communicated to the inmates thedesign to carry theirthreatsintoexeeution, and gave them a certain time to retire. At this moment the convent contained twelve nuns and fifty- seven female scholars, some of whom were of a very tender age. One of the latter informed us that at the first annunciation all, or nearly all the nuns swooned, and were not aroused to a sense of their dangerous situation, until the heralds of destruction returned and reiterated their mission with threats of burn- ing the nuns with the building. " The unfortunate ladies then retired to the garden, carrying with them such articles of value as were within reach. In order to acce- lerate their flight, tar- barrels were brought near to the walls and ignited, and as sto i as the building was deserted the assailants en- tered with flaming torches, and after flying through the apartments, which were fitfully illuminated by the transient, but glaring blaze of the torches, they were simultaneously applied at twenty different points, among the curtains and drapery of the rooms, and instantly the interior of the institution was enveloped in one general conflagra- tion. The astounded refugees first gathered round the tomb at the • bottom of the garden, but were soon driven from this sanctuary by the ruthless avengers of an imaginaiy wrong, and were compelled to fly to the adjoining fields and neighbouring houses for safety. A large number found a retreat in the house of Mr. Joseph Adams, at Winter Hill. The mob burst open the tomb, and ransacked the coffins, but retired without offering other outrages to the ashes of the dead. The torches were applied about eleven o'clock, and the Boston engines, responsive to the tocsin of aiarm, imme- diately repaired to the spot, but were prevented from acting against the fire, by the surrounding multitude, which, we are informed was not less than four thousand in number. The mobocrats did not cease from their exertions till the main building, together with the chapel, outhouses, and even the gardener's dwelling, were entirely destroyed. The few articles that the nuns and scholars succeeded in . conveying to the garden, were seized upon by the destroyers, and thrown back into the flames, and nothing was rescued from ruin except what was actually attached to their persons. When the nefarious undertaking was thoroughly accomplished, fragments of fire and combustibles were collected, and a bonfire lit up as a signal of triumph. A majority of the scholars were Protestants, some of whom have no relatives in this vicinity, and their distressing situa- tion, being stripped of everything, is indiscribably lamentable. " The theatre of the outrage, yesterday morning, presented a me- lancholy scene— parents anxiously, but without avail, inquiring for their daughters, and brothers for" their sisters— were to be met with on every hand. Thousands of spectators thronged the hill— some staring, more sorrowing, and a miserable few rejoicing, at the evi- dence of unparalleled desolation. _ " We hope that no attempt will be made by the Catholics at reta- liatory measures— this would only augment the evil tenfold, and for- feit the sympathy and allay the deep indignation, which the unjusti- fiable outrage on Monday night has excited." This seems to have been a very lively freak of the— " Mountain- nymph, sweet Liberty," and to have awakened a feeling of the greatest alarm amongst the citizens of the Stripes and Stars. At New York they burn the houses of people who wish to emancipate their slaves, and at Charlestown destroy the seminaries in which other peo- plejwish to make their children slaves. Again we sav—" Vive la Liberie."' WE some weeks since took the liberty of recommending the case of a much- respected author to the consideration of the wealthy, and particularly the patrons of literature, and this week again insert the same appeal, with our renewed assurance that the party, if made known, would not long remain without that alleviation, which his painful circumstances compel him thus publicly to solicit. The case alluded to will be seen amongst the advertisements in our first page. Any gentleman desirous of knowing the case more particularly, by directing a letter to, the office of the JOHN BULL, addressed for A. Z. A., will receive an answer from the applicant himself. THE following letter did not reach the office of this paper until Monday last:— TO JOHN BULL. September 5. SIR— Having seen in the John Bull of Sunday, the 31st of last month, my name coupled with that of Lord EBRINGTON, in proposing the letter addressed to Lord GREY, for the pur- pose of inducing him to remain in office, I beg you will take the earliest opportunity of contradicting the statement, as I was, at the time referred to, absent from London in conse- quence of a domestic affliction, and was not even aware that such an address was in contemplation. While I am anxious that my name should not be brought forward unnecessarily, merely for the purpose of gratifying the readers of your journal ( in the number of whom I may be permitted to class myself), I cannot flatter myself that any interference of mine, even had it taken place, would have had any influence in effecting the object to which you refer. I have the honour, & c. R. GRONOW. WE submit the following letter from a professional gentle- man, the contents of which will probably interest a great portion of our readers :— TO JOHN BULL. SIR— The cholera is at present raging with no inconsiderable degree of violence, both in London and the country. Within the last ten days I have been called to many very alarming cases, and I observe, by the Lancet, that it has become very frequent. During the last two or three years I have been a good deal asto- nished at reading the many conflicting opinions of eminent medical men on the subject of the disease, and of the various treatments adopted for its relief and cure. For my own part, I have, for twenty years and upwards, in Europe, Asia, and Africa, observed one undeviating mode of treating it, in many hundreds of cases, and 1 have very rarely indeed found it at- tended with fatal results. The disease is the effect of some acrid or offensive matter in the stomach and bowels, which nature strives to get rid of, by producing vomiting or diarrhoea, or both; and if she were assisted in her efforts, instead of being checked by opiates and other astringent and sti- mulating medicines, as is the almost universal course, the disease would be removed in a few hours, and the patient saved from the distressing and dangerous symptoms which, unhappily, so generally speedily follow the attack. In the first place, in most cases, particularly in severe ones, I ad- minister a dose of tartarised antimony, varying the dose according to the strength and constitution of the patient, the usual quantity being three or four grains; but two grains will be sufficient, for some constitutions, and others will require four and even five grains. After the operation of the emetic, or even before it ceases to act, if it should continue too long, a dose or two of hydrocyanic acid should be given, to quiet the stomach; that being effected, a dose of calo- mel and extract of colocynth should be administered, regulating the dose to the strength and constitution of the patient; the pills which I generally give consist of two grains of calomel and three of the ex- tract of colocynth, and usually two pills for a dose, but one will be sufficient for some constitutions; there are others, however, that re- quire three, four, and even five pills ; the dose, therefore, to be given should, of course, be regulated by the state and constitution of the patient. In six or eight hours after talcing the pills, an aperient draught should be administered, and repeated every three, four, or five hours, as the symptoms might require, until they shall have acted freely on the bowels. The complaint being removed, should the patient be much weaken- ed by it, which is often the case, a mild tonic, to restore the strength, should then be given. I must observe that it is not always necessary to begin with the emetic— in mild cases, the pills and aperient draughts will be suf- ficient to perform the cure. The tartarised antimony, when required, should be administered with caution and judgment, and by an ex- perienced medical practitioner. During the whole treatment the patient's diet should consist of weak tea, gruel, and toast- and- water, and a particularly abstemious mode of Eving should be adhered to, for some little time at least, after the complaint has been removed, as anything tending to irri- tate the stomach and bowels would endanger a recurrence of the attack. Had this mode of treatment been promptly adopted, in all the cases of cholera which have occurred, I venture to assert with the utmost confidence, that scarcely one in fifty would have terminated fatally. Should you deem publicity to this communication, through the medium of your Journal, of benefit to the community at large, it is much at their service; and I am, Mr. Editor, your constant reader and obedient servant, SILAS BLANDFORD, Surgeon, R. N, 20, Dover- street, Piccadilly, 12th Sept., 1834. Mr. CHARLES REXXELL, son of the1 Dean of WINCHESTER, is ap- pointed one of the revising barristers for the Western Circuit. Accounts have been received at New York from the West Irsdies, which state that the abolition of slaves had commenced, in the English islands of Antigua and St. Ivitt's. The Governor called together a portion of the most intelligent slaves, informing them the conditions on which they were to be free, but a spirit of revolt tools place, and martial law was about to be proclaimed. We learn that letters arrived in the City on Friday morning from Granada of the 2d of August, stating that the negroes on the estates of Mount Gayond and Tampa have revolted. Eight of the ring- leaders were taken and sent to prison; their trials were sooa to com- mence. By an Act of Parliament passed last Session, the use of heaped measures is abolished from the 1st of January next; and all bar- gains, sales, and contracts made by the heaped measure after that time are to be null and void. After that time no weight made of lead or pewter is to be used. In the same Act there is a clause enacting that from the 1st of January, the weight denominated a stone shall in all cases consist of fourteen pounds avoirdupois, and that the weight denominated an hundred weight shall consist of eight of such, stones, and a ton of twenty such hundred weights, and all contracts made by any other stone, hundred weight, or ton, shall from the 1 st of January be nail and void. This is important to most people in trade, as it prevents them from making contracts by any customary weights, declaring them void altogether. The Magistrates in Quarter Sessions are to provide imperial standards, and to appoint inspectors. All articles, except gold, silver, platina, diamonds, and drugs, by re- tail, are to be sold by avoirdupois weight. The Times says:—• " Talk of Modern Athens, Cupids in Downing- street, and Plu- tarchs editing evening papers— the things are by no means compara- ble with the unrivalled heroes that constitute our Cabinet. ' If,' says the CHANCELLOR, in his burning burgessism at Inverness, ' if the Government had, in ten years, done nothing else but pass the Poor Lairs' Bill, it would have deserved well of its country. 1 How modest and how true ! If we recollect rightly, the chief great labour on record that occupied ten years, and, as it was thought, ten well- spent years, was the capture of Troy. But what a sorry figure do the Grecian heroes who fought that fight cut when Plutarchised by Cupid's Album in a parallel with our Ministers ?— What is the crafty Ulysses compared with the candid CHANCELLOR?— what old Nestor, a Prince of great repute from Pylos, and of vast influence in the camp, when likened to Lord ALTHORP, a squire from Northampton- shire, and the bear- leader of St. Stephen's ?— what the old Grecian host that took ten years to do ten years' work, when put in juxta- position with our Government, who got rid of ten years' labour in five weeks, and deserved well of their country into the bargain. We are told that— ' Vixerea fortes ante Agamemnon Multi; sed oinnes illacrymabiles Urgentur, ignotique longa Nocte, carent quia vate sacro.' How accurate do we now find the first of these assertions to be with regard to present as well as to past times, and how unfortunate it is that the second is likely to hold good in our own days as well as in those of Horace, since the Globe and Chronicle write prose ! Cannot the ' Society for the Confusion of Useful Knowledge' rummage up a modern Homer somewhere to save the ' multi fortes' of our Ca- binet who have the advantage of living after Agamemnon from the injustice that befell the ' illacrymabiles' who had the misfortune to precede that hero? Let them consult their chief, the CHANCELLOR." We have no doubt he will make them a Homer off- hand. " And in the mean time why should we despair ? The Globe of last night announces that' a large number of the LORD CHANCELLOR'S speech on the Poor Laws' Bill has been printed in a quarto size, on hot- pressed paper, as presentation copies.' Let them, by all means, be bound up with the best quarto edition of the Iliad. Time will give us, we suspect, a fitter hot- pressed accompaniment to the Odyssey." A circumstance, at first likely to be attended with fatal conse- quences, occurred at Plymouth, last Saturday. A lady in a delicate state of health had prescribed for her by a physician a composing draught, containing fifteen drops of muriate of mophine; in mistake the druggist put up one ounce, which was taken by her, and almost immediately she began to sink under the effects of it, which being observed by her friends, medical aid was at once called in, when the stomach pump and powerful correctives were used, and the body kept in constant motion for twenty- four hours, which prevented the fatal consequences which otherwise must certainly have ensued.—[ What has been done to the fellow who committed the crime ? Is he at large ?— is he a druggist, still serving in a shop ? Surely some steps should be taken to protect the KING'S subjects from such calamities.] Mr. BURTON, who has been for some time in Arabia, has just returned from that country to France. He has brought with him, and safely landed a beautiful giraffe, a dromedary, and some gazelles and monkeys. The giraffe is understood to be a present to WILLIAM IV.— Athenceum.— We regret to say that the giraffe is dead. It is thought that green food, incautiously given him, was the cause of this unfortunate event. Mr. IRVING, the well- kuown leader of a sect now nick- named after him, is seriously ill with a complaint in his lungs, produced by incessant ranting. What a thing fashion is !— A few years ago this peTson was run after to such a degree, that the places where he preached were crowded to suffocation by persons of piety, sense, and eminence; now, as the leader of a squad of fanatics, his name is never mentioned, and his preachments never listened to, except by his votaries. SADLER'S WELLS— the only Theatre full of real water— has been on fire. If people would but sit still when such alarms are given, alt would be well. In the ordinary course of separating, the audience of Covent Garden or Drury Lane are generally clear of the theatre in less than ten minutes, a space of time in which fire, supposing it eveii to have made head, would not, in buildings of their size and con- struction, make any formidable progress, so that anybody might quit the house without rush or injury ; but the general impulse to start up and fly out is, we suppose, unconqueiable, and hence the loss of limbs and lives whenever such events occur. The Duke of SUSSEX continues to suffer very much from the com- plaint in his eyes, and we apprehend that his Royal Highness will be compelled to endure a certain period of entire blindness before the cataracts will be sufficiently matured for an operation, which is, we understand, to be performed by Mr. ALEXANDER. We think that this will not be attempted before the ensuing Spring. His MAJESTY'S gift to the Regalia of Scotland, in the Crown Room of the Castle, has been deposited there by the Officers of State. It consists of a golden collar of the Garter, with rose diamonds and enamelled " GEORGE," worn by JAMES VI. ( the present of his QUEEN), an ancient rose diamond badge of St. ANDREW, and a sapphire ring. These relics were presented to GEORGE IV. by the late Cardinal YORK. The good taste of our present Monarch in this appropriation of these valuable remembrances of the anient Kings of Scotland is very sensibly appreciated. The Echo de fhueluse s a y s " His Excellency Lord GRANVILLE arrived on the 2d inst., with his family, at Avignon, on bis way to September 14. JOHN BULL 295 Marseilles. He visited the ancient palace of the Popes, and admired the fine paintings of Giottino, which adorn the roof of the chapel. His Lordship, we understand, will shortly return to Paris, by Tou- louse and Bordeaux." The Liverpool Standard of Thursday has the following:— Ministers are already beginning to reap the fruits of the rash legislation of last year. It will be recollected that, amongst the other reforms relative to the West Indies, a new corps of stipendiary magistrates was appointed, with the economical salary of 3001. per annum. In these desperate times Ministers bad little difficulty in folding a number of idle and needy lawyers to accept the judicial appointments, and submit to be broiled under a vertical sun, for the starvelling pittance of sixteen shillings and fivepence farthing per day. Thus appointed they went their way rejoicing, their hearts filled with gratitude and their pockets with hope. But, alas ! they little dreamt of the nature of the duties they were called upon to discharge, or the expense of living they were fated to incur. They were totally ignorant of the climate and the mode of living in the West Indies, and they soon found that the salary was altogether inadequate to their station, either as magistrates or private gentlemen of the humblest grade. We have seen a letter which describes the misfortunes of one of these new West India justices in the following plaintive terms:— " One of the new stipendiary magistrates from Demerara came home in the Thomas King-. Mr. STANLEY told him on going out that a house, < fcc., would be ready for him on arriving in the colon}-, but the Governor said he had no power to provide liim one. He found his 3001. per annum would provide house rent, two servants, and the keep of a horse, but he himself must live on air. So he came home, and says the others would have done the same had they hud the means. LE FEVRE, the late Under Secretary, tells him he did right, but GIIEY, the present one, finds fault." DR. MALTBY AGAIN.— The Bishop of CHICHESTER'S public days closed on Wednesday, when between 30 and 40 Clergymen dined together. The Rev. M. A. TIERNEY, a Catholic Minister and the Duke of NORFOLK'S Chaplain, was amongst the company.— Brighton Herald. Sir DANIEL SANDFORD has intimated his intention of resigning his seat as M. P. for Paisley, having been compelled to take this step in consequence of ill- health, caused by the " irregular" hours of the House of Commons. The electors of Paisley have therefore been casting their wits together as to who should be his successor. Upon this subject, the Glasgow Courier observes:— " Two things Paisley requires in the person of their representative to be. In the first place he must be a staunch Churchman; and, in the second place, have that experience in business and standing for abilities which will secure him a patient hearing in the Commons. Many distinguished men who made a noble figure in Parliament suggest themselves at this moment to our mind, among whom we may enumerate the honoured names of Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, or Mr. JOHN WILSON CROKER. Should their choice fall upon one or other of these talented individuals, we are sure they will do credit to their own political sagacity by securing an eloquent and truly efficient advocate of their interests, as well as of the great interests and best institutions of the empire." — It is said that Mr. DOUGLAS, of Barloch, will again offer himself. Most of the hunting establishments are already preparing to take the field: the early clearance of the harvest having advanced that, with every other species of country sport and occupation. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL has left town on a short visit to the French capital. The Times of Saturday published the following from its Bayonne . correspondent:— " It appears that on the 17th inst., an individual, furnished with a regular passport, crossed the French frontiers, and being very pro- fuse of his money, and assuming a kind of mysterious consequence, was token by the peasantry for Don MIGUEL. On arriving at Eli- zondo he was brought before the Junta, and succeeded in persuading them, if not that he was the worthy Don MIGUEL, that he was at least a personage of some importance, as they assigned him a guard of honour during the three days he remained. Having expressed a wish to have an interview with Don CARLOS, he was conducted to his head- quarters some leagues distant. Before, however, being admit- ted to the presence, he was subjected to a rigorous examination of his person, when the following discoveries were made— In a leathern girdle encircling his loins, was found a considerable sum of money, to the amount of about 1,400 dollars. In one boot was a pass or safe conduct to enable him to pass through the country occupied by the QUEEN'S troops, and in the other a written recipe, one of the ingre- dients of which was arsenic, which was immediately taken as an evi- dence of his intent to poison Don CARLOS, and without further proof, the unfortunate man was shot. He was at first supposed to be an Englishman, but it turned out that he was a Spaniard, as he spoke with a strong Andalusian accent. This ill- fated man's design was probably nothing worse than to gain information, and the formidable recipe nothing more destructive than a recipe for making secret or sympathetic ink." The Morning Post of Tuesday, explains this affair in'a way which leaves no doubt as to the object of this " unfortunate" and " ill- fated " man's object. It says:— " The name of the individual to whom we yesterday alluded as having been employed to assassinate Don CARLOS was VICENTE PONCE BE LEDU. He had been an emigrant in this country, and a lawyer in the Chancery of Valladolid. He pretended to be a great friend of EL PASTOR, and a little time before his departure from this country he called upon one of the most intimate friends of Don CARLOS, and told him that he could prevail upon EL PASTOR to join the CARLIST cause, if he could only get access to the KING, and make the suitable arrangements with him. The extravagance of his ideas led to suspicion, and his offers were disregarded. He nevertheless persevered, and actually penetrated to the head- quarters, where his infamous project was discovered. Being seized, he was confined for three days, and then interrogated. Well aware that a just and ignominious death awaited him, he confessed who were his em- ployers, from whom he received a Christino pass and large sums of money. Time will reveal the secret, and show another of the base expedients resorted to in order to defeat the law of PHILIP V." This is one instance of the results of the Quadruple Treaty in Spain— turn we for one moment to Portugal, where its blessings are equally manifest. The following is an extract of aletter from Lisbon, dated Aug. 23 :— " MIGUEL FRANCISCO PALMA, an old gentleman, seventy years of age, late Colonel of the Royalist Volunteers of Serpa, and a very honourable as well as a very distinguished officer, was some time since put in prison by the Pedroites at Serpa, with four other per- sons. Some Liberals lately came from Beja on purpose to assassi- nate him. They dragged him out flf prison with his four companions, Mpd murdered them all five in cold blood in a most barbarous and Jint^ erciful maimer." of plate, value 12001., by the electors of North Staffordshire who sup- ported him at the late contest. It is a candelabrum of silver, upwards of four feet in height. A few days ago, a shepherd, who had fallen asleep in a wood within the commune of Loye in the Cher, so alarmed a shepherd's boy by his snoring, that he ran to his father, who came with the frightened lad, and believing the sound came from a mad dog, fired into the bush, under which the sleeper had laid himself, and killed him on the spot."— Galiguani's Messenger. A most singular and fatal accident occurred on Monday to a little girl, the daughter of Mr. WEEDON, of Kentish Town. Ill running across the parlour with a plate in her hand, she stumbled, and fell with considerable force, by which the plate was broken to pieces, a fragment of which perforated her neck to the depth of two inches, completely dividing the carotid artery. The unfortunate child was dead in less than three minutes. A valuable brood mare, belonging to Pince ESTERHAZY, and which was on the eve of being sent abroad, was obliged to be killed, in con- sequence of an injury she received on Thursday morning. The mare cost the Prince 500 guineas some time back, was highly bred, and with foal. The groom was out airing, when one of the horses kicked and broke the mare's fore thigh, and dislocated her shonlder; she was, in consequence, obliged to be shot. She was the favourite of the Prince's stud. It is stated that the Spanish Government have offered a large sum of money to ZUMALACARRAGUY to disband his troops and retire from Spain ; his answer was, that he would not desert his KING for all the treasures of Spain. Old General MINA, in the very same position in the mountains, defended himself seven years against a French army of 30,000 men. The Earl of MUNSTER, passing through Crawford- street, Maryle- bone, on Friday week, and seeing acrowd round the dwelling- house of a poor woman whose goods were just seized for 30s., dismounted, and saved her little property from the broker's clutches. The popu- lace loudly cheered the Noble and kind- hearted Earl. We are assured that the LORD CHANCELLOR received, " by the night's post," after the arrival of his Inverness speech in town, no less than half- a- dozen letters from his colleagues, the pith of all of which may be expressed by the old adage, " the least said the soon- est mended.''— Morning Herald. LORD DEERH URST.— This young Nobleman is going on as well as, under the circumstances of the lamentable accident detailed in our last, can be expected; but the loss of his right eye is inevitable. The Marquess and Marchioness of SALISBURY left town on Wednes- day for Walmer Castle, on a short visitation to the Duke of WEL- LINGTON. The Marquess and Marchioness afterwards embark at Dover for Paris, intending to make a continental tour for two months. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. , U-. L^ l •. UiOU .

WILLIAMS, D. C. L., Head Master of St. Mary's Col- lege, and Prebendary of Winchester Cathedral, has resigned his stall in Brecon Collegiate Church. The anniversary of the Society of the Sons of the Clergy was held at Durham on Thursday, and was very numerously attended. The Bishop of DURHAM and" Sir JAMES ALLAN PARK were both present, and after the service partook of dinner with the Society at the Water- loo Inn. A great addition has been made to the Church- yard at Edensor, by order of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, which was consecrated by the Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY on Friday the 12th inst. We last week copied from a daily paper an account of a meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Clerkenwell to take into considera- tion the repairs of St. James's and St. John's Churches. That ac- count, we find, was incorrect. A poll took place on the question, which concluded on Monday last, when there appeared for the origi- nal motion, that the Churches should be repaired, 700; for an amendment that the report be considered on the 14th March, 1835, 385. The original motion was therefore carried by a majority of 315. Of the present bench of Bishops, twelve have not been translated at all, thirteen have been translated once, and one only has been transla- ted twice ; and the average time during which the present possessors have held their sees is eight years and eight months. Since the restoration there have been, exclusive of the present bench, 242 Bishops— of whom 148 were never translated, 71 were translated once, 22 twice, and one three times. The average holding of a see for that period is something above ten years. It is truly gratifying to find that notwithstanding the bold and determined attacks which are daily making on the Established Church, we are constantly presented with fresh evidences of the increase and steadfastness of her members. The parish of St. Thomas, in this city, contains a population of 2,304, and no less than 1,110 sittings are now occupied in the Church; while the church- wardens have been compelled to refuse upwards of seventy applica- tions for sittings. They have, in consequence, adopted measures for enlarging the accommodations of the building; and at a Vestry meeting, held on Thursday last, it was unanimously agreed to erect a new gallery, and several additional pews in the aisle.— Salisbury Herald. BRISTOL. — A society has been very long established here, called the " Society of the Clergy and Sons of the Clergy," having for its object the relief of widows and children of deceased Clergymen who shall have died in indigent circumstances. The Society is supported by subscriptions and donations, and a fund has been raised, from Which a great number of persons annually receive a certain stipend. The members meet anually, and attend divine worship; after which they dine together at the White Lion. • although the funds are appropriated to those only whose deceased relatives were members^ of the Church of England, yet a vast number of highly respectable Dissenters, from trulv Christian and charitable motives, rank among the subscribers. The annual meeting took place on the 27th ult., when a most excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. LLOYD. A collection was made at the Church door, when the money received amounted to 981. 12s. GJd. About five o'clock 140 members of the Society sat down to dinner ftt the White Lien, which was served up in excellent style. William Miles, Esq. M. P. for the Eastern Division of Somerset, presided, and was supported by the Mayor and Sheriffs of the city ot Bristol, and several most influential men and Clergymen of the counties of Gloucester and Somerset. The subscriptions of the day were an- nounced to amount to 4081.14s. Old. EDUCATION OF THE POOR.— During the past and the present year 328 schools have been received into union with the National Society, carrying up the amount of schools in union to the number of 2,937 : and 6,6431. have been voted in aid of the building school- rooms in 104 places, the total expense of the buildings being estimated at 20,0001. The Society has recently made a general inquiry into the state of education under the Established Church in all parts of the kingdom; and an account has been obtained concerning 8,650 places, which wore found to contain about 11,000 schools, with 678,356 chil- dren. It is calculated that there cannot be less in England ami Wales than 710,000 children under the instruction of the Clergy. During the present season the ancient parish Church of Kinver has been re- pewed. Three ill- contrived galleries have also been removed, and in their stead a new one is erected at the west end of the Church, at an expense of nearly 7001. Towards the sum the Society for Promoting the Enlarging and Building of Churches has contributed 1001., in consideration of which 256 free sittings are pro- vided, the greater part of them in the front of the pulpit. The re- maining expenditure is to be defrayed by private subscription, and by collections at the doors on Sunday the ' 5th of next month, oil which day the Church will be re- opened for public worship. The subscrip- tions among the nobility and gentry in the parish and neighbour- hood are very liberal. The Earl of ST* MFORD and J. H. H. FOLEY, Esq. M. P. have given each 1001.— fVorcester Journal. GREAT MALVERN.— On Sunday last, an excellent sermon was preached in the Abbey Church, by the Lord Bishop of Gloucester, for the benefit of its Charity Schools. The collection amounted to 631. 5s. 6d. On Sunday, the collections for the Bewdley Sunday Schools, after sermons by the Rev. J. CAWOOD, M. A., Minister of Bewdley, amount- ed to upwards of 531. The collection at Kingswinford on the 31st ult., after two excellent and appropriate sermons in the new parish Church, by the Rev. GIF- FARD WELLS, A. M., in support of the Sunday Schools, amounted to 461.13s. Id. MORLEY DISTRICT PARISH CHURCH RATE.— The annual meeting of the rate- payers of tiiis district for the laying of a Church rate, was held in the National School, on Thursday'last. The Dissenters had been excited to action by a paragraph in last week's Mercury, aud the meeting was divided by their leaders upon every item, even the most insignificant and trifling— the result, however, proved that they had miscalculated their strength, and that the Church had been, during the last year, making considerable progress in the village. We congratulate our friends on the result of this meeting, ^ otiix England was there a more sectarian village when the Church at Morley was erected four years ago. It is not, then, a convincing proof of the soundness of Church principles when a sectarian popula- tion can in so short a time be brought to forget the " voluntary prin- ciple," and to tax themselves for the support of the Established Religion, which affords instruction and comfort equally to every member of society ? We say, yes.— Leeds Intelligencer. COVENTRY, Thursday, Sept. 11.— The Infidels and Dissenters of this city have to day been signally defeated. A Church rate of 6: 1- in the pound for the repairs of St. Michael's Church was proposed by the churchwardens; this was opposed by the Dissenters ( who had placarded the city calling upon their friends to muster, and thus show to the Government their strength), who moved an adjournment for nine months. This was put from the chair, when an immense majority was found in favour of the rate; but the unbelievers and sectarians not satisfied with this demonstration of feeling demanded a poll, which left them in a most miserable minority, the number being— for the rate, 193 ; against it, 23; majority, 170. On the first day of November next, the Clergy will, in all cases, be entitled to ask the landlords for payment of the tithe ; and in the cases of tenantry at will and from year to year— in short, in all cases where land is held without lease— the Clergyman will have to look to the landlord alone for payment. The only case where the Clergyman can be thrown back upon the tenant is that where a lease, made before the 16th of August, 1832, is in existence.— Dublin IVarder. The new Church Commissioners will assemble in a few days in Dublin, in order that the various portions of their duties may be regpn- lated by them. For some days back clerks have been engaged in preparing books for their use. The Worshipful Company of Grocers of London, have given notice to the Dean of DERRY, that they will in future pay the tithes of that portion of their estates lying in' the parish of Faughanvale; and to the Rev. JOHN HAYDEN, that they will pay the tithes of their estate in the parish of Lower Cumber. A visitation was held on Thursday of tile Clergy of the diocese of Limerick. The visitation sermon was preached by the Rev. GOD- FREY MASSY, Vicar of Bruff. His Lordship's charge " was replete with learning, and inculcated an amiable and Christian- like deportment on the part of his Clergy. The Manchester Courier gives the following account of the dis- graceful proceedings of the anti- Church party during the late contest respecting the Church- rates in that town':— The enemies of the Church, in Manchester, have gained a temporary triumph. We call it a temporary triumph, because we know, and they know, that the majority of legal votes is in favour of the rate; and we have not thi » least doubt that the result of the scrutiny which has been instituted, and which we hope soon to announce, will be a majority of at least FIVE HUNDRED VOTES in favour of the rate. The means by wh'eii the anti- Church faction obtained their majority, are so disgraceful as to cover their cause with infamy, and ought to kindle a blush upon the cheek of every man amongst them who is susceptible of shame. We know that hundreds of Dissenters participate in the feelings of scorn and indignation which those disgraceful proceedings could not fail to produce upon all well- constituted minds. We scarcely know in what terms to express the feelings which the conduct of the Salford overseers has excited, not among Churchmen only, but among honourable men of all sects and of all parties. Indignation that they should be defeated by such despicable trickery, was natural to Churchmen ; it has been felt also by the respectable part of the Dissenters, who, however they may be opposed to the princi- ple of Church rates, were desirous, at least, that none but fair, honest, and legal means should be resorted to in opposing them. But though to the disgraceful conduct of the Salford overseers is mainly to De attributed that position upon the poll which tlie enemies of the'Church attained on the two last days of the contest, there \ vere practices resorted to by other parties, " which surpass in dishonesty and wickedness any thing we remember in the annals of party con- tests. Not only is it notorious that many of the rabble, who, by the excitement of drink, and the temptation of a coach conveyance, were induced to join the ranks of dissent}- voted twice; that many received qualifications who had paid only part of their rates; that others voted who are not rate- payers at all; but that the most fraudulent means were employed to get qualifications to vote. For example,— and we mention the circumstance after making proper inquiries respecting its truth,— certificates of different persons having paid the rates, ana bearing the signatures of the Collector of Denton, were given to any- one who would use them in opposing the rate; and a gentleman of this town, who was supposed to be opposed to the rate, was actually presented with fifteen by a shopkeeper from Denton, who had thirty of them in his possession, for the purpose of distribution.. How far the overseers of Denton are implicated in this trans- action, or whether they were cognizant of it or not, we are unable to state; but that this nefarious trick was restored to and acted upon, for the purpose of obtaining votes, is a fact which we can positively assert. Among the opponents of the rate were some members of the- Society of Friends. The right of those gentlemen to reeord their votes upon this question, it is not our intention to dispute; but wbsaa it is considered that for twenty- five years the members of this seat, have been excused the payment of the Church rates, and that th « r- share of them has consequently added to the burden imposed us> ® » the other leypayers, the majority of whom are Churchmen, we think they might, on such an occasion, at least have abstained fWrfix the exercise of their right, if they could not conscientiously supjasjf. the party to whoso indulgence they are so much indebted. 296 JOHN BULL September 14.

The closing price this afternoon for the Account was 90 India Stock has been on the advance, being 256 257- During the week considerable sales of Exchequer Bills were made, and they were at one period at as low a premium as 31. They lave rallied considerably to- day, and the last quotation was 3S 40. The intelligence by express from Madrid has bad but little effect on the Spanish Bonds : they were done in the course of the day at 50%> fell to 49^, and closed at Portuguese have been done during the week at 82%, but yesterday were as low as 7& H, in con- sequence of various reports respecting the health of Don Pedro.

The Journal^ de la Guienne informs us that Madame Zumalacar- reguy, the wife of the celebrated General of that name, has received orders to leave Bordeaux in twenty- four hours, under pain of being conducted into Spain by the Police. The news from the western provinces of France begin once more to be alarming. All letters speak of the movements of the Chouans, and of a new insurrection in La Vendee, which is preparing. The French Government has sent off agents in all directions to examine and report. We find in the German papers the following article, dated Frontiers of Russia, the 19th ( 31) of August:—" The representatives of Russia at the principal European Courts ( except that of France,) are now absent from their posts, and all assembled in the capital of the em- pire. Thus our ambassadors to Constantinople and Vienna, have been for a long time at St. Petersburgh; subsequently arrived Prince Lieven Irom London, and M. de Obril from Madrid. M. de Ribeaupierre has now also left his post at Berlin. With the exception of Prince Lieven, it is not yet positively known whether any of these ambassadors are wholly re- called from the courts at which they resided, or whether their being all absent at once is an unintentional coincidence ; at all events, the military movements in the Baltic and western provinces of the empire authorise a conjecture that Russia is preparing by the display of her imposing military force, to be able to meet whatever may occur." Some ot the Treasury journals told us some time ago, that the ab- sence of the Russian Ambassador from England was a matter of no importance whatever— we see it is not so considered in Russia. We have not the least doubt that the Emperor will take care to have his military preparations ready for whatevermay occur. The Nurem- berg Correspondent informs us that " the completion of the quadruple alliance, by a new Convention between England and France respect- ing the Spanish Peninsula, is said to have led to amended discussions between the three Northern Powers, the result of which will pro- bably be an energetic protest against all direct interventions." The King of Prussia has threatened to withdraw his Ambassador from Paris if his Consul at Bayonne, who was deprived of his exce- quator for sending to the Parisian newspapers intelligence from the seat of war in Spain contrary to what the stock- jobbing Ministers wished to have believed, is not replaced in his functions. PROTESTANT CONSERVATIVE SOCIETY OP IRELAND.— A meeting of the Protestant Conservative Society was held on Tuesday last, in Dublin. Earl Roden in the Chair. Several new members were admitted. It was resolved to admit Protestant clergymen members without the annual subscription. The Earl of Roden stated that, from all parts of the country— from England, from Ireland, and from Scotland— have been received the most encouraging support to carry ' their objects into effect—( Hear, hear)— that, without one single - application having been made to any individual whatsoever, subscriptions have been already received to the amount of seve- ral thousand pounds.—( Cheers'.)— The management of this fund will rest with six individuals, assisted by a Committee of twelve or thirteen persons, who have taken upon themselves the painful and difficult task of distributing it. His Lordship then recom- mended that gentlemen would tender to the roving Commission every information relative to the Protestant population.— The Rev. Mortimer O'Sullivan then submitted, in an eloquent and argumentative address, a statement of Protestant grievances to the meeting, the report of which occupies ten closely- printed columns of the Dublin Evening Mail. The Rev. Dr. Martin observed that the • Protestants of Cavan county would assemble to the number of 20,000 within a fortnight. The Rev. Mr. Boyton moved a vote of thanks to the Lam ashire Conservative Society, accompanied with a request that they would appoint a day for a public meeting, and a deputa- tion from this body would attend. The following resolution was also carried :—" That a deputation do attend on behalf of the Pro- testants of Ireland, at the ensuing meeting about to be held at • Bristol." The deputation to meet the Lancashire Conservatives is to consist of the Rev. Messrs. Boyton and O'Sullivan, and Mr. {",. A. Hamilton. The Cavan meeting is to be on Monday week. Rear Admiral Sir Graham Hammond, K. C. B., is appointed to suc- ceed the late Sir Michael Seymour in the command of the American station. Ere long, we believe, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel will visit this city, and then we know the west of Scotland will take the lead in paying these eminent statesmen a compliment commen- surate to their merits. Much as the good folks of the east are putting themselves about to do honour to Earl Grey, at the bidding of the Edinburgh Clique, we, at a week's warning, can transcend them at any time, whether as regards numbers, wealth, and. intelligence, or ill expense, in getting up an edifice of adequate size and magnifi- cence, for the entertainment of such distinguished guests.— Glasgow Courier. Sir Henry Hardinge, with a select party of friends, has been shoot- ing on the Duke of Beaufort's estates amongst the Brecknockshire hills. The Right Hon. Bart., although he has lost an arm in the service of his countrv, killed more birds from the back of a young " cefyl- back" ( Welch shooting pony) than any other sportsman of the party. BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL.— The Chevalier Neukomm has arrived at Birmingham to superintend the final arrangements for this great music meeting, which commences on the 7th of October. His new oratorio, called " David," is spoken of in the highest terms by the musical professors. Braham represents David^ Machin the giant Ooliah, and Phillips Saul; Madame Stockhausen David's Sister, and Mrs. Knyvett Michael. Three other sacred performances and three grand concerts form the other attractions of this meeting. The entire vocal and instrumental force consists of four hundred per- formers. Caradori, Mrs. Knyvett, Miss Novello, Madame Stock- hausen, Braham, Phillips, Machin, Bellamy, Horncastle, Taylor, Vaugham, Terrail, Hawkins, and Curioni are the principal vocalists. The Standard of last night says:—" We are disgusted to learn that the mutilated and murdered bodies of the unfortunate woman who lievd with Steinburge, and her four guiltless children, were exposed to view last night, at the charge, of two- pence each, females and children excluded; but, to the credit of our species, few appeared desirous of gratifying their curiosity, even at. so low a rate. What were the official authorities about, to suffer such a revolting exhibi- tion?" Thursday night, about eleven o'clock, a fire broke out at the sugar- house of Messrs. Watson and Co., in Pump- yard, Ratcliff- cross. The premises were recently stocked with an immense quantity of materials, which were wholly consumed, and from their combustible nature burnt so furiously, that though there were eight engines at work at once upon it, the effect was scarcely visible. The flames did not abate until four o'clock the following morning, when the whole of the interior was consumed. Messrs. Watson and Co., we understand, are insured for the full amount of their loss, which is tstimated at 40,0001, In 8vo., second edition, with Maps, & c., 18s. boards, AVOYAGE towards the SOUTH POLE ; containing an Exami- nation of the Antarctic Sea to the Seventy- fourth Degree of Latitude.
