THE KING — Puring the week his Majesty has continued his

airings in silo Great Park, occasionally visiting the Castle, Virginia Water, &c. His Majesty's hours for enjoying his favourite drives are from two o'clock until five, in his psMy phaeton, and his health, we are happy to state, remains unusually good. Abotit the 20th of November is the time talked of for his Majesty to take up his resi- dence for the winter season at the Castle ; all probability of his going to Brighton is consequently set aside.—Morning Post. The princely festivities of Chatsworth have closed for the season. The most splendid banquets and other entertainments have been accompanied by the per- formance of plays by the younger branches of the noble visitors.

Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald and Mr. Huskisson have arrived at the residence of the Marquis of Hertford, Sudborn-hall, Suffolk, on a visit to his Lordship, The Marquis is at present entertaining the Duke of Wellington and a select party of noblemen and gentlemen.

Strathfieldsaye is speedily to be a scene of great gaiety. A shooting-party „f distinguished persons are to be entertained by the Duke of Wellington. The estate abounds in game, particularly pheasants; and it is probable, that politics will be blended with pleasure, as the Administration, it is understood, will have an accession of strength in the Cabinet on the meeting of Parliament in February. —Morning Advertiser.

The Bishop of Salisbury has conferred on the Earl of Pembroke the offices of High Steward and of High Bailiff in the city of New Sarum, by letters patent. Another Stall in Salisbury Cathedral is now vacant, by the death of the Rev. John Guard, B.D.

The Duke of Wellington has paid into the Treasury the sum of 1,025/. re. ceived by him as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.

Mr. Hume has contradicted the report that he was about to retire front public life.

EFFICACY Or THE New Pomee.—There was a disturbance last Sunday mostilm, at four o'clock in Wellington-street : from thirty to forty persons were collected. The watchman of the district bustled about, asking the usual fishing question of " who gives charge ? " After some time, two policemen made their appearance; and had a fifteen-inch bomb-shell—or the plague—come among the assemblage, they could not have dispersed snore quickly. The appearance of the police, Mid that only (for they did not speak a word or move a baton) was sufficient to pro. duce the desired effect.

A correspondent of the.Chronicle states that the Home Secretary has been applied to by the parishes who have been rated for the outfit and maintenance of the new police, and that he has acceded to their petitions by granting more time than the forty days allowed by the act of Parliamentfor the collection of the sums required. It is said too, that the rates for the watchmen of the Parks and Kensington Gardens are to be withdrawn from these parishes.

COM MON CouNerh.—At a meeting of the Common Council on Thursday, Mr. James was chosen Secondary, and Sir. Payne Coroner. Mr. Gude, Mr. Francis, Mr. Joseph Smith, and Mr. Wilkinson were unsuccessful candidates for the latter office ; and Mr. Thomas Tilson for the first. The interest excited by the struggles between Mr. Payne and Mr. Tilsou could be compared only to that of the contest in the year 1822 between Messrs. Denman and Bollard for the appointment of Common Sergeant. The office is one of the highest importance, for with the SC- condary it rests to accept or reject bail at his own discretion, without assigning any reason for so doing—to preside as judge at all writs of inquiry—to assess damages directed to the Sheriffs of London—to summon all juries in the City—to attend the trial of all prisoners at the Old Bailey, and the Common Council whenever assembled.

The Lord Mayor informed the Court Council on that he had received a letter from the Lord Mayor Elect, stating that heAdlould willingly endeavour to fultil the duties of the office to which he had been elected.

The combination of the great coal-owners in the North was discussed at much length. Mr. Waithmati expressed himself very bitterly on the subject of the sympathy which Lords Londonderry and Durham had pretended for the pour in the metropolis, when threatened by the City with a tax upon coals. "An oppo- sition." he observed, "had been got up in the House of Lords when, for the purpose of effecting a great public improvement, it had been proposed to levy a tax of Gil. a chaldron on coals. The coal-owners objected to this tax, which would have amounted to 40,000/. a year, while they levied a tax of ten

peaces, amounting to 400,000/. ; which they took from the poor and the public generally, not for any public purpose, but to put into their own pockets. Time persons had entered into a foul and abominable combination, which called for the expression of public indignation." It appears probable from what passed at the meeting, that by means of a railway about to be constructed to the port of the Tees, the public will derive the benefits that must result from breaking up the monopoly in the coal-trade, which the owners of the mines near the Tyne and Wear have so long enjoyed.

The Standard proposes this conciliatory arrangement between "the jobbers of the Common Council and the jobbing coal-owners of the North"—to hide idl the ditty upon coal brought by the Regent's Canal; " by which the question of City taxation and prices at the Northern collieries would be deprived of all its interest, while the metropolis would be supplied with coal from Staffordshire, of superior quality, at about half the present price."

GLOBE INSURANCE COM PANY.—The proprietors of the Globe Insurance Com- pany held a meeting on Thursday for the purpose of considering the expediency of reducing the salaries of the Directors and their Chairman, and the possibility of reducing the number of these functionaries. Mr. Hunter moved that the salary of the Chairman of the Court of Directors should be reduced from 500/. to '200/.; that of the members of the Court from 200/. to 100/.; and that their number should be reduced from twenty-five to eighteen. It appeared, on investigation, that a Director might neglect his duty all the year round, and yet, despite the fines which such neglect entailed upon him, pocket a handsome balance at the end of the year ; while the fines thus levied were added,:not to the profits of the proprietors, but to the salaries of those Directors who were more punctual in at-

tending the meetings of the Court. There was a good deal of sharp discs, on the subject ; but the meeting broke tip without coming to any determination, though with the intention of reassembling soon to decide upon the matter.

On Wednesday morning, the East India Company's sale of indigo, which bad been adjourned from Friday last on account of the Jewish horydays, recom- menced. The attendance of persons engaged in the indigo trade was limited, and the biddings were very heavy. Up to Wednesday morning, about 3,500 chests, out of nearly 8,000 declared, passed the sale. The withdrawals of indigo, as far as the sale has proceeded, have been much larger than usual. For the markets on the Continent there are comparatively few orders, so that the prices are ex- pected to be lower.

On Wednesday, a Court of Directors was held at the Bast India house it when

Captain` Alexander Chrystie was sworn in to the command of the ship Thomas Coats, consigned to Bombay and China.

h has been stated in a Morning Paper, that it is not intended to proceed with se prosecutions commenced by the Duke of Wellington against two of the Daily tangs There is probably no better foundation for this statement than the de- to see these proceedings abandoned ; and this is a desire in which, we think, ,!l who take a just view of what is due to the personal character of the Duke of osington, and to the interests of his administration, must participate.—Globe. The centerings are cleared away from four of the arches of the New London 'stilts?, and those of the fifth and last are in the course of removal. fine Right lion. Thomas Grenville has sent 501. to the Committee for the relief ,t the Spanish Refugees ; and the Hon. Mrs. Hutchinson has furnished a supply vf flannel waistcoats for their use. THEATRICALS AND MORALS IN Suns REV.—While the licences for the theatres on he Surrey side of the Thames, were under the consideration of the Surrey Magis- totes on Wednesday, one of these gentlemen observed that the establishments in motion were productive of much mischief, by furnishing a pretext to the public- Liaises in the neighbourhood for remaining open till two or three in the morning. Ile representation, too, of the Flying Dutchman at the Surrey, by requiring the hence to be at one period completely darkened, was the means, he stated, of ricking the first principles of police. Should this exhibition be continued in the arne manlier, it would be necessary to bring it under the notice of the Secretary i State.

atthe Surrey Sessions on Friday, an appeal case of some interest was decided. The Commissioners for paving, lighting, and watching the parish of Christ Chinch, Blackfriars, had authorized their beadles to remove all obstructions from the pavement. One of the beadles removed` a bale of goods belonging to a haber- dasher, valued at 411. An action and costs to the amount of 1904 were the con- sequence. These sums the Commissioners attempted. to draw from the parish lands; but were resisted, and found liable personally to the amount.

The Times this morning contains a paper, the object of which is to show how the revenue may be greatly increased by equalizing the land-tax.

At a meeting of the Merchant Company of Edinburgh on Monday, it was unanimously resolved to prepare petitions to Parliament against the renewal of the East India Company's monopoly.

Mr. Wallace, of Kelly, has lately submitted to the freeholders of the county of Renfrew, the plan of an address to the Throne on the subject of legal reform in Scotland. To have the state of the law Courts inquired into by a commission of gentlemen, not lawyers—to have the powers of the Lord Advocate curtailed—and to have the coroner's inquest extended to Scotland—were the objects of the pro- posed address. In consequence of some opposition. Mr. Wallace's motion has been fir the present withdrawn ; but it is to be brought forward soon in another form. The Bishop of Ferns has addressed a long g Witter to Lord Mountcashel on the subject of the late meeting at Cork, of which his Lordship was chairman. The Bishop terms that meeting "a lay Synod." He declares that meddling with the Church at present will produce consequences not less portentous than those which resulted from a similar interference two centuries ago. He protests that the incomes of the higher clergy in Ireland are over-rated very much ; and gives it as his opinion that inequality of emolument renders the profession more attrac- tive. In conclusion, he denies that the clergy in general are griping, covetous, or immoral in their conduct. Lord Mountcashel, in reply, disclaims all intention of interfering with the Church, except in so far as the spiritual welfare of those Ado are committed to the Church's care may demand. He disclaims the design of equalizing the emoluments of the clergy, but contends that the frightful itti equalities in that respect should be dune away with. On the subject of the morality of churchmen, he is still at issue with tine Bishop.

At a meeting of the Corporation of Dublin, last week, Mr. Flood, the Ex- Sheriff, read an answer to a vote of thanks just passed to the Duke of Cumber- land. " St..Tames's Palace, Sept. 29, 1829.

lose no time in acknowledging the receipt of your letter of the 20th instant, accompanying the address voted to me unanimously by the Sheriffs and Commons of the Corporation of Dublin; and I must beg you to express to them how gratifying it' is is my feelings to know that my conduct has met with their approbation, as it appears to sue that I was fully justified in my assertion, that it was not in accordance with the general feeling of the people of Ireland that that measure was adopted, which I stated, and ever shall maintain to be the greatest breach ever made in our glorious Constitution, thich I ever shall endeavour to support. However much I must deplore the measure, it being now passed into law, it is our bounden duty to bow down to it, still continuing fun to our principles, and watching carefully over the interests of the mother Church, and to this I shall ever adhere. With my hearty and best thanks, which I trust you will convey to the Sheriffs and Commons of Dublin, believe me, Sir, your's sincerely, "To Patrick Flood, Esq." ERNEST."

The King has placed 5004 at the disposal of the Committee for the relief of the distressed manufacturers of Dublin.

Lord Maryborough, Master of the Buck-hounds, was thrown during the hunt on Monday last, and had his arm broken.

On Monday, an inquest was held on the bodies of the three men (John Fisher, James Coyle, and Samuel Parkes) who were drowned in the Dolphin hulk at Chatham on Friday morning. The Jury assembled at the Town-hall, Rochester, before Mr. T. Patten, the Coroner ; and from thence they proceeded in a boat to the Canada hospital-ship in the Medway. Mr. Capper and Mr. Dawes from the Home Office were present. After examining George Loyd, overseer of the ship, T.Sambrooke, the guard, and another witness, the Jury deliberated half an hour, and returned the following special verdict. " It is the unanimous opinion of the Jury on the inquest holden on board the Canada, that John Fisher, James Coyle, and Samuel Parkes, were accidentally drowned on board the Dolphin convict ship on the morning of Friday the 16th of -October. They also are unanimously of opinion, that the said convict ship is improperly constructed for that purpose; and beg to recommend another ship, or some other means to be adopted to pre- vent similar accidents ; and at the same time take the opportunity of expressing their unanimous opinion of the steady and good conduct of the overseer of time said ship (Mr. George Lloyd), during the very trying occasion ; as it appears to us in evidence, that, had it not been fur his prompt exertions, a great number of lines must have been lost."

Mr. England, proprietor of a coal-warehouse in St. John's-lane, Clerkenwell, cent into the bar of the Horns public-house in St. John's-street, on Wednesday Bunning, and, while la the act of asking for something to drink, fell down and expired.

A poor labouring man his lost bis, life by falling into a cellar in the Borough, the flaps of which had incautiously been left open. On Thursday morning, the body of Joseph Webster, who resided near Golden- square, was discovered in the Basin in the Green Park. He is the third person silo has been drowned there within these few weeks. Henry Terry, a boy six years of age, was killed by falling into a, pail of boiling water.

On Tuesday, five young men hired a boat, which by their mismanagement they upset between the Red-house and Battersea-bridge. Two were drowned ; the other three were saved by clinging to the keel of the boat. Last Friday evening, near the turnpike-gate on Wray Common, about a mile on this side of Ryegate, Mr. Alexander Morris, coal-merchant of Mershon, was thrown out of his gig, and killed on the spot. The gig seems to have gone over one of several heaps of gravel that have been most improperly left upon the road. Mr. Morris has left a wife and five children, one of whom is deaf and dumb.

On the H ighflyer coach leaving York on Monday, one of the outside passengers, who it is said was rather in liquor, in attempting to pass from the back part to the front of the coach, unfortunately fell off, and was killed on the spot.

Mr. Atkins, the proprietor of a menagerie which exhibited at Devizes Fair, went, during the absence of the keeper, into the elephant's den, and proceeded to take some liberties which the animal had been used to tolerate, but which on this occasion it thought fit to resent, by squeezing his visitor against the bars. The consequence was a broken rib and some severe muscular bruises.

We regret to say that a melancholy accident occurred at the Chapel Iron-works, near Halytown, on Tuesday. A labourer, unacquainted with the precautions necessary in managing the furnaces, ventured down into the new one in order to level some char. The furnace was partially heated at the time, and unfortunately, upon his feet pressing upon the char, the sulphuric acid acted no powerfully upon him, that before his situation was suspected, he was found, upon being drawn up, to be suffocated. This is a rare accident among those belonging to the trade; in fact, they do not remember a similar instance, and it is accounted for from the man being unaware of the danger.—Glasgow Chronicle.

On Monday afternoon, a man was seen struggling in that part of the Regent's Canal that adjoins Kentish Town. Some boatmen passing in a barge, succeeded in extricating him ; they placed him upon the bank near to the lock-house, and went away. Shortly after, a plunge in the water was heard by the inmates of the lock-house ; drags were procured ; and after some time, the same individual who had been saved from drowning, was taken out with his throat cut from ear to car, and quite dead.

The flour-mills of Messrs. Reid and Allan, of Cork, were burned last week. The loss is said to be 15,0001. The premises were largely insured.

On :Monday, at an early hour, the inmates of the house No. 16, Henry-street, Church-lane, St. George's in the East, were alarmed by the screams of a young woman named Davies, a lodger; and on proceeding to her room, they found her enveloped in flames, and the bed furniture consumed. It was understood that she had sat up in bed for the purpose of reading a novel, and placed a lighted candle before her on the bed-clothes; and falling asleep over the book, the candle fell down and set fire to the curtains. She was immediately conveyed to the London hospital, without hope of recovery.

The late fire at Manchester is considered to have destroyed a greater amount of property than has been consumed by fire in that town for many years. In one of the warehouses, a large quantity of cotton, the property of country manufacturers, had been deposited until a convenient opportunity offered to transport it to their respective factories; and the whole, amounting, to about 12,000/., was entirely consumed, little or none of it being insured. Both buildings destroyed belonged to the Rochdale Canal Company, and were also uninsured. The total damage is . variously estimated from 30,000/. to 50,000/. Of the great imprudence of allow- ing so large an amount of property to remain altogether uninsured, the present calamity affords a striking instance. Nothing appears to be known with certainty as to the origin of the fire - the statement that it was caused by the negligence of two of the workmen employed on the premises is 'strenuously denied by them.

The late heavy gales seem to have been felt all along the north-east coast of Britain. On the coast of Dunbar, considerable damage has been done to the soil, as well as to the vessels ; and on the Sunderland and Norfolk coasts, the ravages of the storm have been fearful.

On Tuesday week, no fewer than eighteen vessels were stranded between Sunderland pier and Hendon, a distance of half a mile. All are wrecks. About twelve of them, large colliers, had not been permitted to take the harbour on Tuesday; and some of these, when almost within the pier, stood out again in order to cast their ballast. When riding at anchor unballasted, they were over- taken by the gale, and driven ashore. The loss is estimated at 20,0001. A laden sloop, in attempting to make the harbour, in the afternoon of Wednesday, strunk on the south rocks, and went down instantaneously. The crew, four in number, among whom were a father and son, perished. On the coast of Norfolk, a large brig was driven on shore, at Palling, and another at Cromer ; but the crews of both have been saved. A sloop-rigged barge was capsized off Waborn, and all hands perished. It is feared that there are other losses.

The Britannia steam-boat sunk in Donaghadee harbour last Sunday in a gale of wind ; the crew and passengers saved.

THE FINCHLEY IxouEsr.—On Wednesday, an application was made to Mr Halls at Bow-street, by Mr. Cox, solicitor for the executors of the late Mrs. Phillips, for his permission to renew the inquiry into the causes of that lady's mysterious death. The parish officers had previously opposed this measure, as they were understood to be liable for the expenses of the investigation ; but their opposition was withdrawn, on the executors agreeing to defray these. Mr. Cox proceeded to remark, that Mr. Phillips, the lady'shusband, after having expressed his willingness to aid the inquiry by all the means in his power, had latterly op- posed it in every possible way. A report of this statement having appeared in the Times of Thursday, Mr. Phillips, and his counsel Mr. C. Phillips, waited on Mr. Minshull the sitting magistrate on Friday, for the purpose of having this re- port in the Times contradicted on that point; inasmuch as Mr. Cox, on being applied to by a friend of Mr. Phillips, had denied having used the expressions as- cribed to him. The reporter of the Times insisted on the perfect accuracy of the account which he had given of Mr. Cox's application ; and Mr. Cox himself chancing to come into Court at this point of the discussion, admitted that the re- porter's statement was correct. Mr. Cox took the opportunity of alluding to a paragraph in the Morning Chronicle on the subject of his application to Mr. Halls, and characterized it as utterly false. The Chronicle this morning admits the statement to have been improper.

The forgery of an entry in a marriage register-book belonging to a parish in the City has recently been detected ; which, had it passed unnoticed, might have very materially compromised the title to certain estates of great value, and af- fected a title now supposed to be extinct. It appears that in July last a couple of persons applied to the parish-clerk, who then kept the keys of the registers, and, giving him half a sovereign, sent him out of the vestry on some trifling errand. During his absence, the entry is supposed to have been made on an erasure. Though well executed, the forgery, on examination, is palpable, and the incumbent has since, we understand, very properly refused to give a certified copy of it—Standard. An order has been received at Bury gaol for the transportation for life of Wil- liam Viall, who was convicted at the last Assizes of cutting the throat of George Green, at Clare, with intent to murder him. It is said that the recovery of G. Green is still very doubtful. Should he die within a year and a day of the time when the act was committed, the charge against Viall will then become murder, for which crime he has not, but in that case will, be liable to be tried.—Evening Paper. ExEcurroNs.—On Monday morning, Richard Chick, aged twenty-eight, Josiah Nathan alias Latham alias Jones, aged twenty-seven, and Richard Giflbrd, aged twenty-six, were executed at the Old Bailey. Chick, in consequence of having attempted to break out of the prison, was brought to the scaffold in irons. Gifford was respectably connected. His father had formerly been butler in the family of Lord Colchester. Gifford himself held at one time, through his Lordship's in- fluence, a situation in the National Debt Office. He gave himself up, however, to dissipation in its lowest forms; and, despite the efforts of his parents to reclaim him, proceeded from one excess to another, till he committed the forgery which led to his apprehension and execution.

On Wednesday, a young man of respectable appearance, named John Allen, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with the robbery of Mr. Newton, an agent of the Taunton Bank. The sums stolen were upwards of 7001. Thoroughgood the officer had been instructed to watch the prisoner, who was a lodger in the house, where the robbery was committed. He accordingly dogged the prisoner to Gravesend, from Gravesend to Chatham, and back to town next day. He learned from the waiter at the tavern in Chatham at which the prisoner stopped, that the prisoner had a parcel of country notes ; but in order to ascertain whether it were so, he dropped a piece of paper close by the prisoner, who immediately put his hand to his pocket, and exclaimed, "1 fear I have dropped my notes"—then added, "all is safe." On coming to town, he apprehended the prisoner. A parcel of country notes were found upon him ; which on being examined by Mr. Hobler, were declared to furnish evidence that forgery had been committed in this case as well as robbery, sonic of the numbers of the notes having evidently been altered. The prisoner was sent back to the Compter.

On Thursday James Haynes was brought before the sitting Magistrate at Guildhall, charged with stealing a (piece of gros-de-Naples from Mr. Curtis of Spitalfields. On his person 1111. was found, and on a subsequent search, a 2004 note was discovered sewed in the lining of his trowsers.

On Tuesday, Mr. William Clarke of Islington, whom a person named Spenser had apprehended and brought to the office in Worship-street,fon a charge of being the Thomas Clarke, alias Bugsby, accused of robbing the St. Neot's Bank, was examined before Mr. Bennet, and discharged. He retired with the intention of indicting Spenser for a conspiracy. A woman named Morris brought a Mrs. Drew before Mr. Chambers, at Union- ball, on Wednesday, on a charge of felony. Morris had arrived at the conclusion that she had been robbed by the prisoner, by the aid of a Mrs. Jackson, who had taken the trouble to consult the stars on the subject. As there was no other evidence, the prisoner was discharged ; and could the "cunning woman" have been found, the Magistrate would have treated her with a month of the tread-mill.

Stamps of the value of 5001. were stolen last week, either from the Boston mail, or from the coach-office in London. They were addressed to William Alli- son, Esq. the Distributor of Stamps at Louth.

Within the last week, information has been received at the public-office, Hatton- garden, of no fewer than seven horses being stolen, two from near Tenterden, in Kent ; two very valuable mares from Coningham-hall, Essex ; two front a field near Finchley church ; and one from a field near Cambridge. It is supposed that there is a regularly-organised gang of horse-stealers infesting the neighbour- ing counties ; and that their plan is to transfer the stolen horses front one distant part of England to another, using the precaution of travelling with them as far as possible during the night, and resting at obscure places during the day-time. Ira most cases, the horses stolen are so altered by docking, trimming, &c., that they rarely answer the description given of them by their owners.

On Saturday evening last, the coach called the Yarmouth Mail and Telegraph, which runs from the White Horse, Fetter-lane, left that inn at about seven o'clock, full inside and out, and a large quantity of luggage on the roof and in the hind- boot. On arriving at Ilford, it changed horses ; and on proceeding to Chadwell, about two miles further on, it was discovered that the boot had been broken open, and all the contents, consisting of two carpet-bags, a portmanteau, a small box, a gentleman's cloak, and a lady's pelisse, had been carried off. The horse patrol being informed of the circumstance, said that he had observed a horse and cart, in which were four or five men, lurking on the road, between Ilford and Chadwell. He immediately rode in pursuit, and overtook a party of men, who ran off on his appearance, and escaped. All the goods, with the exception of the cloak and pelisse, were found in an adjoining field.

On Monday evening, as the servant of Mr. Covington 17, George-street, Adelphi, was going up stairs with two of the children to bed, they met a manovith a pistol in his hand ; upon which they screamed out, and ran down again into the parlour, where Mrs. Covington and a lady were sitting. The man fired his pistol either by accident or design, and retreated to the top of the house, where it appeared he had entered through the front attic window, which had been forced open. The police were soon upon the spot, and searched the house and the adjoining ones, but without discovering the man. The police stated that they had been watching the greater part of the day the movements of six suspicious characters about the neighbourhood, and they had no doubt the entrance was effected by one of them. On Thursday night, the mansion of General Deighton, situated about three miles from Monmouth, was broken into. The thieves entered at the dining-room window, which they forcedlopen with a crow-bar, 'and, having proceeded to the sideboard, they possessed themselves of plate worth more than 1001. Persons were next morning despatched in all directions in pursuit of the thieves ; and it was ultimately ascertained that four suspicious-looking men had housed them- selves at a cottage on the Gloucester and Bristol road, about thirty miles from the place where the robbery was committed. Thither one of the pursuers repaired, and, on stating his business, the woman of the house went up stairs, and asked the men, if they had committed the robbery. The worthies did not wait to answer her. One of them, however, was taken ; and the whole of the booty has been recovered.

Seventeen persons have been apprehended as accessaries to the robbery of Mr. Burghart, of Clifford-street. The greater number of them follow ostensibly the trade of tailors.

Stephen Sandford aid William Leslie, who have been some weeks in custody charged with the burglary at the house of Messrs. Stultz, have been fully com- mitted for trial. On the morning of Sunday last, the Rev. Mr. Shaw of Rilmactravey was as saulted. while in bed, by a fellow, having his face and hands blackened, who forced him to swear that he would turn off all his servants, and accept as the sole manager of his affairs, a person who should be sent him by the Rockiteo'1;

Government has offered a reward of 2001. for the apprehension and conviction the persons engaged in this outrage. In London, whatever is portable is stealable. Some thieves last Tuesday night stole three shutters from a shop-window in the neighbourhood of Waterloo-bridge, n 0e,

on the Surrey side.

The Northumberland, which has been fitted out and cleared for the Swan River, is yet in the hands of the police. Her seizure has taken place by the directions of the assignees of William Norton, of Clayton West, who lately failed in an • immense amount, and gained sonic notoriety by escaping out of a garret-window at Huddersfield, from the custody of a sheriff's officer. At present it would be premature to enter into further particulars. A daring and desperate ef- fort to recover possession of the vessel was made by several hundred men, many of them said to have been hired for the purpose by parties who claim an interest in the property. The persons on board had an intimation of this inten- tion a few minutes before the endeavour was made to carry it into effect, and she was removed from the side into the middle of the Junction-dock. The assailants, however, went on board a lighter, which they took alongside the Northumberland; and it was not until a severe conflict, during which many of the constables re. ceived dangerous blows, that the attempt was frustrated. The Mayor was sent for, and succeeded, without having recourse to violent measures, in restoring peace. Some of the rioters are in custody, and others are known.—Hull Advertiser.

Some cotton-spinners in the employment of Messrs. Flintoff and Butterworth of Oldham, who left their work on Friday week, in violation of an agreement IT . which they had bound themselves to give three months' notice, have been COM- mitted by the Rev. James Holmes, to prison for three months.

Henry Bonkharn Hall, who had been unfortunate in business as an innkeeper, killed himself at Brompton last week ; and a charitable jury has agreed that inc must have been deranged.

Last week, an inquest was held at Hanley Castle, on the body of Sarah Mare, aged twenty-two. She had been struck by her master's son, and in consequence drowned herself. The Jury found " that the deceased, Mary Mayo, being in a lunatic and distracted state of mind, did throw herself into a pond of water, and was there drowned ; and that such distraction of mind was produced Nun ill treatment received from William Lucy, the younger, of the parish of Hanley Cas- tle, gentleman."—Worcester Journal.

Another melancholy instance of self-destruction by poison occurred on Satur- day last. A lady named Jacques, about forty years of age, sister to Mr. [henry Adams, the proprietor of the Ship Tavern in Leadenhall-street, swallowed deli- berately a tumbler full of oil of turpentine and arsenic, which she had procured for the destruction of bugs ; and then told that she had done so. The stomach. pump and other remedies were used without effect.

Eneas Simons, a blacksmith, was stabbed at Nottingham last week, by o; Hillary, in attempting to prevent violence between sonic men who, after &inkier; together, had quarrelled about a young woman. The blacksmith died, and the Coroner's Jury has returned a verdict of "wilful murder" against Hillary. Tim Donuts COMBINATION MURUER.-A clew has, it islunderstood, been atiength obtained to this terrible business : one of the principal of the conspirators, if r.t an active accomplice in the murder, has been apprehended, and, it is understao I, has made a full development of all the particulars connected with the transaction. From the surmised nature of his communications to the magistrates, it is said that a most extensive system of organised combination will be exhibited. embracing in its ramifications, with very few exceptions, all the different trades of Dublin. —Standard.

The Irish Brunswick Journals teem with accounts of nightly depredations com- mitted by the peasantry in the South. In the barony of Roscommon, smell houses have been broken into and despoiled of arms; and in an adjoining pori,11 some cow-houses have been set on fire, and a number of cows destroyed. In an attack upon the house of a man of the name of Hogan, the Rockites were op- posed, and two of their numbers shot.

On Friday week, two police-men went to execute a warrant at the house of one Michael Heffernan, residing near Freshford, Kilkenny, against one of his sons. They, however, not being able, as it would seem, to identify their man, took both into custody. The father interfered ; an altercation ensued ; when the policemen shot the old man dead on the spot. An inquest was called, and returned a yee diet of " wilful murder" against Devereux, the policeman.

In Queen's county, the house of Michael Delany was broken into by the police, and his gun forced from him.

In the county of Clare there have been disturbances. A man named Finucano having taken a farm which had been "canted," had his house burned about his ears, and narrowly escaped with life.

A young lady in Dublin was carried off from her friends last week, by a gentle- man and his wife, and detained for a day and a night. Their intention was to force her to marry the gentleman's brother. She escaped, however, and the other parties have been held to bail.

Captain Byng, son of the Commander of the Forces in Ireland, was summoned last week before the police magistrates in Dublin, on a charge of assault preferred against him by a respectable physician, with whose car the Captain's cabriolet happened to come in contact.

The Senate of Hamburgh inflicted, early this month, an exemplary punishment on two persons convicted of fraud upon the underwriters at Lloyd's. The affair happened in the year 1825. The brig Frau Gretha was loaded at Altona for Lon- don, with rubbish in place of valuable packages; • and the principal conspirator, Heinman Levy Heinman, induced Evert Atkin, the captain of the ship, to join in

the fraud ; the cargo was shipped, insurance made in London, and the vessel was

scuttled and sunk off Altona, the crew being saved by a boat hired for the pur- pose. A part of the money was received for the insurance. Subsequently an investigation took place, and the whole atrocity was proved. The sentence of the Senate of Hamburgh was, that the principal conspirator, Heinman Levy IIeinman, should be pint in the pillory and flogged, kept in prison for ten years, put to hard labour during the time of confinement, and afterwards banished from the Horse Towns. The captain, Evert Atkin, received the same sentence, with the exception of the flogging. A suicide, perpetrated under singular circumstances, took place at Bonnetable, in France, a few days ago. The Sieur Trib—, who had served formerly in

the marine, having contracted an unfortunate habit of intoxication, in one of his drunken fits struck his wife with a knife, and gave her a severe wound in the hod. The poor woman took refuge with a neighbour ; when her husband, becoming alive to the disgraceful nature of the action he had committed, went to a gunsmith's in the place, to get back a brace of pistols he had sent there to be repaired, took them home and loaded them, and having dressed himself in his old uniform, repaired to the house of an acquaintance, whom he requested to give hint something to drink, and to send for certain of his friends whom he named, as it was his intention to destroy himself, and he wished to see them before he died. All attempts to divert him from his purpose or to disarm him were vain, a; he constantly kept a pistol levelled at all who came near him. After this arange scene had lasted some hours, he at length seated himself quietly on a step is front of the house, and blew out his brains before them all.

Princess Caroline Ulrica Amelia, of Saxe Coburg, Superior of the Chapter of Guadershelm, died at Coburg, on the 1st of October, aged seventy-eight.

The Princess of Orange has been very ill for some days, "in consequence," says the account, " of a fright caused by the sudlen appearance of a chimney- weeper, who had mistaken the room. The Princess was the more easily alarmed, as the late robbery of her diamonds has left a painful impression On her mind."

Prince Leopold has transmitted to Covent-garden Theatre 2001- as a donation. On Wednesday evening, Miss Fanny Kemble \vas presented with a splendid mrold bracelet, by Mr. Egerton, in the name of the Covent Garden Company. Mrs. Siddons, accompanied by Sir Thomaa Lawrence, witnessed the perform- ance of Miss Fanny Kenible on Wednesday evening. She sat in the stage-box on the right hand of the audience. afore than once Mrs. Siddons exclaimed to Sir Thomas, " Is it not wonderful ?" and as she withdrew, she addressed her brother—"Tell Fanny that I am delighted with her—enchanted !

Mamma:mous Burnt IN THE SOHO STEAMER.—Duly one half of the mystery was hinted at in the account which was current in every paper about ten days ago ; the child is black !--this we learned from one who saw it at Poplar. The unfor- tunate lady was the sister of a baronet's wife. The muffied-up gentleman was a friend of the family. We understand," says the Edinburgh Observer," that a lady and a girl were waiting this unhappy stranger when the Soho arrived in Leith Roads, and that the matron seemed greatly shocked when she heard of her death. We have further heard. that the stranger's trunk was addressed Miss Shepherd, Inverness.

Mr. T. R. Kemp, M.P. has gained his great match to ride a horse nine miles, in three paves, in an hour. It came off" on Thursday morning, on the road between Pyecombe and Brighton. Considerable sums depended on the issue. Mr. Moore and his family have left the Marquis of Lausdowne's villa on Rich- mond-hilt for their cottage at Slopperton, near Devizes, where the poet is occu- pied in finishing his Life of Lord Byron. Mr. Moore has recently received a brae accession of new and interesting correspondence relating to the noble poet, and the latter period of his life. The publication is expected to be soon after Christmas.

A Nome Nana.—One of the Camberwell stage-coach masters bears the ap- propriate name of Edward Wheels. The Globe mentions, that the story of a hoary seducer and a runaway female, ouch appeared last week in most of the papers, was of penny-a-line fabrication— a transcript from a paragraph which appeared two-and-twenty years ago in the papers of that day, the incidents and language being precisely the same, except am dates and streets.

ME Rival. FIRE. Kteus.—A curious scene occurred at the Argyll Rooms on Thursday during the performances of M. Chabert. A person front the gallery publicly challenged the performer on the part of a deaf and dumb man, named Loan's, who was present, and has been exhibiting at Whitechapel. M. Chabert called this person an impostor, and a long altercation took place. At length the challenger and his friend descended to the fluor, and Lazarus professed to be ready to take any poisons, and undergo any experiments of heat attempted by al. Cha- bert. The latter, professing great contempt for his opponent, referred Lazarus to the College of Physicians, who had offered him 5,000/. for the secret, which he refused, as he required 10,0001. The friend of Lazarus declared that he would exhibit at the West end of London, in order to convince the public that he pen- assed the secret.

O'CONNELL.—WC have seen a letter from Mr. O'Connell, dated on Satur- day from Derrinane, writtemin his usual strain of high spirits. We are glad to state that he has suffered no inconveniences whatever ft om the recent accident ; and tat Mr. James O'Connell has been considered so completely convalescent, as to enabled to return to Killarney, a distance of thirty-four miles, without iucon- vetneace.—Dablin Evening Post. The Brunswickers of Dublin talk of painting the statue of King William "entire usage!" A novel route to:India is about to be undertaken by Mr. Waghorn, of the Ben- gal pilot-service, a gentleman who has exerted himself with much zeal and perse

verance, but hitherto without effect, in the establishment of a regular steam corn munication with our possessions in the East. He will proceed by Paris, Geneva and Milan, to Trieste ; thence embark for Alexandria, traverse the isthmus by way of Cairo to Suez, where he will meet the Enterprise. steam-vessel, belonging to the East India Company, and proceed in her to Bombay. He expects to per- form the journey in sixty days.

EXTRAORDINARY COW.—Mr. Joshua Salt, of Lounsley-green , near Chesterfield, has a cow in his possession, of the short-horned breed, that gives upwards of

twenty-one quarts of milk daily, and from which the unprecedented quantity of three pounds of butter is churned, making twenty-one pounds of butter weekly sixteen ounces to the pound ; she calved in Chesterfield race week,—Chesterfield Gazette.

Llama GAME AND VET LARGE.—We have but little game in our ne gh

(says a correspondent at Ely) but what we do get are famed f size, if we take the following as a specimen. A hare was killed by Mr. Crabb, at Littleport, last week, which weighed 10-.1 pounds ; and a gentleman in Ely is now in the posses- sion of a snipe, of the almost unprecedented weight of seven ounces and a guar- ter.—Combeaage Chronicle.

CORBETT'S CORN AN ELEMENT Or' BRITISH BRANDY.—By some experiments, recently performed by a chemist in Cambridge, it appears that the stalk of the Indian wheat, better known by the name of Cobbett's corn, contains a large pro- portion of saccharine matter ; and that after the ripening of the fruit it yields a clear and pleasant spirit, superior in quality and quantity to what is usually pro- cured from potatoes, and denominated British brandy.—Cambridge Chronicle.

TliE NORTH-WEST Passaea.—Further accounts have been received of Captain Ross, who, in the Victory steam-ship, was, on the 25th of July, in latitude 57 N. The fair wind with which they sailed, left them the day after, and they carried away part of their fore-mast ; but would not touch at any port to refit, lest it should give rise to unfavourable reports. After five days more. they got again a fair wind, which in a fortnight carried them to the harbour of Holsteinberg, in Greenland ; where they found the Rockwood, of London, deserted by her crew ; and from which, therefore, they replaced their mast, and supplied themselves with provi- sions and stores. In a few hours afterwards, they sailed in a more complete state than when they left England. They were all in good health and spirits, and-had received the most chering account possible of the state of the ice, the inhabitants saying they had never seen so little ice ; "and if ever the North-west passage was to be made, it would be this year." The wind was fair, the weather extremely favourable, and the crew behaving in the most exemplary manner. Captain James Clarke Ross, F.R.S., the Captain's nephew, who accompanied him and Captain Parry in all the former voyages to the Polar regions, has also gone out in the present expedition.

A society has lately been formed in the United States, for the purpose of colo- nizing Africa, by means of emancipated negroes. Madame de St. Elme, who has acquired some celebrity under the name of

La Contemporaine, has changed the plan of her travels in Egypt. Having been

unsuccessful in obtaining access into the principal harems of that country, solely because it was known that it was her intention to divulge the mysteries of those Mallometan sanctuaries, she was on the point of quitting the country altogether, when the arrival of letters from Europe determined her to set out on a journey to Upper Egypt. MAIIMOUD IL—The Sultan has only one son left, Abdul Medshid, born 20th of April 1823, who is the presumptive heir. The number of his daughters is con- siderable. He has seven lawful consorts and many concubines. If his family should become extinct, his throne will be claimed by the descendants of the late Tartarian Khans of the Crimea, and the family of Gberai, which likewise is de- scended from the famous Gengis Khan of Tartary.

MATRIMONIAL DISQUALIFICATION.—M. Tenequier, a respectable tradesman of Flaquolle, refused his consent to his daughter's marriage with a young man every other way unexceptionable, because the intended bridegroom wore spectacles ! He. even went so far as to apply to the constituted authorities to prohibit the match ; but as all the formalities prescribed by law had been complied with, the Mayor declined interfering, and poor M.Tenequier is saddled with a short-sighted son-in-law.

BOMBARDMENT Or Am.elems.—The French Government have given notice at the port of Toulon, that it is resolved to have done with Algiers, and to take measures for having the expedition all ready by April next. For this purpose new experiments have been made with the firing of the mortars, which has cre- ated in the Commission a preference for silicious shells, and those moved by per- cussion, as they unite the advantages of quickness and correctness of firing.

PRINCIPAL ROBERTSON'S SERMON—The following anecdote of the learned author of the History of Charles V. is not generally known. The Principal never preached extempore, but always kept pretty close by his paper. The inci- dent which we are about to mention happened while Dr. Robertson was minister of Gladsmuir. The minister's man, according to custom, was one Sunday morn- ing in the act of taking the Bible arid Psalm-book to church, which is situated a short distance from the manse, and while stepping along the path which led to the primitive-looking, place of worship, a fine hare, who had been quietly nibbling at her morning meal, disturbed by the sound of footsteps, cocked her ears, and bounded oft' before the eyes of the startled beadle, who was not thinking of a hare. John, however, immediately recovered himself. " Sabbath although it be," says he, " I'll hae a rap at her ; " and forgetting, in his anxiety to get pos- session, what he held in his hand, poised high the holy book, and hurled it at the devoted head of poor puss. The shot proved a dead miss, and she bounded on in safety, her steps quickened not a little by the whistling sound of the outspread leaves of the Bible as it tumbled through the air. On this morning there hap- pened to be a good stiff breeze blowing, and, as bad luck would have it, the minis- ter's manuscript, on which was written the heads, exhortations, reflections, &C. of the forenoon discourse, and which had been deposited, as usual, in the interior of the Bible, took wing, and, wafted into the air by the strong wind, was out of sight in the twinkling of an eye ! John saw the disaster, and knew there was no help for it ; he picked up the Bible, hurried to church), and laid it on the well- worn cushion. The Doctor entered soon after, gave out the psalm, and proceed- ing to open the book, discovered his loss ;—here was a dilemma. The pulpit, however, was not the place to ask questions; and he sat, while the psalm was singing, in a state which may be conceived, (as the newspapers say,) but cannot be described. " He thought, and thought, and thought again." Would it do to plead sudden sickness ?—no, his mind could not stoop to dissimulation. To tell the awkward truth would be nearly as bad. What was he to do ? the psalm was nearly finished, and something must be done. He turned to his text, roused his memory, and endeavoured to recollect as much as possible ; his thinking powers increased every moment ; the psalm was finished. The Doctor arose gave out the text, and went at once into the heart of his subject, and to the hearts of his hearers. A better sermon he had never preached within the walls of any church ; and it was universally noticed by his numerous congregation, that he had never preached with more spirit and feeling than on that day.—Edinturgh Weekly Journal.

THE SIAMESE TWINS, A Lesus Narense.—Generally speaking there is some- thing revolting in animal monstrosities, which renders even a description of them disagreeable. These singular boys are not, however, of this kind. The manner of their conjunction, with all its singularity, is a subject of curiosity and interest, not of disgust. They were brought about two months ago from India to Boston, where they have been inspected by most of the inhabitants learned and unlearned. They will probably soon visit London, the grand mart to which all that is rare or valuable in nature or art continually tends by an attraction as powerful as gravitation itself; and a short description of them, from a gentleman of Boston, Who appears to have examined the twin-boys closely and accurately, cannot fait to be acceptable to our readers. "The boys are supposed to be about eighteen years old. They are of moderate stature ; though not as tall as boys of that age in this country. They have the Chinese complexion and physiognomy. The forehead is more elevated and less broad than that of the Chinese, owing to mal- formation. They much resemble each other ; yet not so much but that upon a little observation, various points of dissimilarity may be noticed. The substance by which they are connected is a mass two inches long at its upper edge, and about five at the lower. Its breadth from above downwards, may be four inches ; and its thickness in a horizontal direction two inches. Of course it is not a rounded cord, but thicker in the perpendicular, than in the horizontal direction. At its lower edge is perceived a single umbilicus, through which passed a single umbilical cord to nourish both children in the festal state. Placing my hand on this substance, which I will denominate the cord, I was surprised to find it extremely hard. On further examination, this hardness was found to exist at the upper part of the cord only ; and to be prolonged into the breast of each boy. Tracing it upwards, I found it to be constituted by a prolon- gation of the cnsiform cartilage of the sternum, or extremity of the breastbone. The breadth of this cartilage is an inch and a half ; its thickness may be about the eighth of an inch. The cartilages proceeding from each sternum meet at an angle, and then seem to be connected by a ligament, so as to form a joint. This joint has a motion upwards and downwards, and also a lateral motion ; the latter operating in such way, that when the boys turn in either direction the edges of the cartilage are found to open and shut. The lower face of this cartilage is con- cave; and under it is felt a rounded cord which may be the remains of the umbilical cord. Besides this there is nothing remarkable felt in the connecting substance. I could distinguish no pulsating vessel. The whole of the cord is covered by the skin. It is remarkably strong, and has no great sensibility ; for they allow themselves to be pulled by a rope fastened to it without exhibiting uneasiness. On ship board, one of them sometimes climbed on the capstan of the vessel, the other following as well as he could, without complaining. When I first visited the boys, i expected to sec them pull on this cord in different directions, as their attention was attracted by different objects. I soon per- ceived that this did not happen. The slightest impulse of one to move in any direction, is immediately followed by the other ; so that they would ap- pear to to be influenced by the same wish. This harmony in their movements is not the result of a volition, excited at the same moment. It is a habit, formed by necessity. At an early period of life it is probable they sometimes differed. At present this is so rarely the case, that the gentlemen who brought them, have noticed only a single instance. Having been accustomed to use the cold bath, one of them wished it when the weather was cool; to which the other ob- jected. They were soon reconciled by the interference of the commander of the ship. They never hold a consultation as to their movements. In truth, I have never seen them speak to each other, although they converse constantly with a Siamese lad, who is their companion. They always face in one direction ; stand- ing nearly side by side; and are not able without inconvenience to face in the opposite direction ; so that one is always at the right, the other at the left. Although not placed exactly in a parallel line, they arc able to ruts and leap with surprising activity. On some occasion, a eentleman, in sport, pursued them round the ship, when they came suddenly to 'the hatchway, which had beets inad- vertently left open. The least check would have thrown them down the hatch- way, and probably killed one or both; but they leaped over it without difficulty. They are quite cheerful; appear intelligent, attending to whatever is pre- sented to them, and readily acknowledging any civility. As a proof of their in- telligence, it is stated, that in a few days they learned to play at drafts well enough to become antagonists of those who had long beets versed in the game. The connexion between these boys might present an opportunity for seine inte- resting observations in regard to physiology and pathology. There is no doubt a net-work of blood-vessels and some minute nerves passing front one to the other. How far these parts are capable of transmitting the action of medicines and of diseases, and especially of what particular medicines and what diseases, are points well worthy of investigation. Captain Coffin informed use, they had never taken medicine since they had been under his care. Once they were ill from eating too heartily, but were relieved by the efforts of nature. He thinks that any indisposition of one extends to the other; that they are inclined to sleep at the same time; eat about the same quantity, and perform other acts with great simi- larity. Both he and Mr. Hunter, the gentleman who united with hint in bringing them here, are of opinion that touching one of them, when they are asleep, awakens both. The pulsations of the heart are exactly alike in both boys. I counted se- venty-three pulsations in a minute, while they were sitting ; counting first in one boy, then in the other. I then placed my fingers on an arm of each boy, and found the pulsations take place exactly together. One of them stooping suddenly, to look at my watch, his pulse became much quicker than that of the other; but after he had returned to his former posture, in about a quarter of a minute, his pulse was precisely like that of the other boy. This happened repeatedly. Their respirations are of consequence exactly simultaneous. This harmony of action in primary functions, shows a reciprocal influence, which may lead to curious ob- servations and important deductions. Whether it will be in my power to obtain any further information in regard to them is uncertain. If not, some one else can better accomplish the task." DUEL BETWEEN A YANKEE AND AN INDIAN.—" An Indian of the Onondaga tribe," says the Batavia Times, " came to the house of one Miller, late at night; and after making considerable noise at the door, finally succeeded in getting Miller up, who went to the door for the purpose of finding out the cause of so unusual a visit. On opening the dooT it discovered the Indian armed with a rifle and a large knife; and was interrogated by him as follows—' You name Miller?' The latter, mistrusting, answered ' No: The Indian, it appears, was not satisfied, for he immediately replied, Me guess you lie little; me guess you name Miller, You hunt deer some ; kill 'em sometime ; guess you kill 'em some Indian, too' Miller being totally unprepared for fight, assured him that his name was not Miller : but that if he would go away peaceably, he would agree that Miller should meet him in a certain swamp, on the Thursday following. With this assurance the Indian departed. On the day appointed, Miller repaired to the swamp; but instead of entering it in the direction from his house, he repaired to the opposite side. When near the centre, he discovered the Indian lying flat upon a toe, watching with his gun in his hand, the approach of Miller in the direction of hi; house. supposing he would come that way. At this time Miller stumbled, whirl' caused some noise ; on which the Indian immediately sprang upon his feet, an,l discharged his rifle at Miller, but without effect ; Miller, like a true antagook, gave it back again, and wounded the Indian; but the Indian not being disposed to fall, and Miller not willing to trust to his red friend, worked another button- hole in his hide, and is then supposed to have secreted him, as Miller's arms and sleeves were covered with blood when he came out of the swamp."
