The" Voice from the Factories," which was noticed in the

Leeds Times a fortnight ago, is from the pen of Mrs. Norton. Tory base- mess and villany could not destroy her genius, though they were ready to sacrifice her life to further their rascally intrigues.—Leeds Times.

The celebrated racehorse Orion has been sent on board the Man- chester packet at Liverpool, to be conveyed to Virginia. Ile was purchased for WO guineas of Lord Chesterfield, for a company in Vir- ginia, who have, in the last two years, given very large sums for some of the finest horses in this country.

The Earl of Pembroke's magnificent new service of plate has been despatched from the manufacturer's in the Haymarket to the Earl's hotel at Paris ; where his Lordship intends, it is said, to give some grand parties. The Dowager Countess and the Ladies Herbert have arrived at Wilton Castle, to pass the Christmas.

Uxbridge House is expected to be completed early in February for the reception of the Anglesey family. Several new apartments have been built upon the ground in the rear of the mansion.

It is stated, in papers just received from Colombo, that Sir R. W. Horton, the Governor of Ceylon, had tendered his resignation. A writer in 1Vednesday's Times, who calls himself M. D., assailed almost all the Medical Fellows of the new London University. Among others, he thus spoke of Dr. Hewit-

4, Dr. Hewit is a man of high place, and of much renown for his tact in discriminating disease. He took labour pains scene time ago for lumbago, in St. George's Hospital, and had the woman cupped on the loins whilst in travail. I suppose he will be the Examiner in Midwifery."

Yesterday, the M.D. was forced to confess, in another letter to the Times, that the Dr. Hewit he alluded to is not the Doctor who has been appointed a Fellow of the University. He also said—" Mr. Bacot is a surgeon of the Guards ; " but Mr. Bacot left the Guards seventeen years ago. He now affirms, that 4, All the leading men of the profession, being already connected with other Colleges, signified their intention of not wishing to connect themselves rtith the new institution."

This may be as false as his assertion relative to Dr. llewit and Mr. Bacot.
