PROVINCIAL PORTABLE GAS COMPANY. T HE "advantages of GAS have been universally ad mitted, wherever that species of Light has been introduced, notwithstanding which, a great portion of the Towns in the United Kingdom are still without its benefits; arising partly from want of i the necessary Capital required for Gas Establishments, and *partly from the tardiness usually :hewn by the Provincial Towns, to follow the example of the Metropolis. If these observations apply to the introduction of Gas by means of Pipes, they must apply with still greater force to the introduction of Portable Gas l a newer, s tfer, and more convenient mode of using that clean, pure, and beautiful Light. To obviate these disadvantages, and to facilitate its general introduction, the present Company is proposed to be esta blished, upon the Plan and Principles of the LONDON PORTABLE Gas COMPANY, the success of which has far exceeded the most san guine expectationt.. It is not the intention of the present Company to become the rival of any Gas Establishment whatever. Where Oil Gas Com panies are already formed, it is proposed to leave to these Esta blishments to add thereto the apparatus necessary for distributing the Gas in a Portable shape; but as Coal Gas cannot be so advan tageously condensed, it is proposed to form Establishments for Portable Gas, even in Towns where there are already COAL Gas Establishments, so . as to supply such of the Inhabitants with Gas, as will not allow - Pipes to be laid into their houses; where Coal Gas is injurious to Good+, Furniture, &c. and where the facilities derivable from the use of the Poumatite Gas Lasers are desired for all domestic purposes. - - Where arraagements can be made with existing Coal Gas Com panies, it is proposed allo to condense Coal Gas, so as to supply those who may choose a cheaper Light; and also for the purpose of offering to supply the GAS EISITINg CA lISIAGE Coz?ANY, now in progress of experiment. with Portable Gas, as it is believed that Coal Gas is more suitable for Mr. ilhowit's Engine than Oil Gas. Those who have originated this co!npany, have made an Benno. mica! Arrangement with the Patentee of the POrtatile Gas Lamp, which will give them decided advantages over any future Esta blishment in the same Towns. The Capital proposed is ONE MILLION, to be divided into Shares of X. 50 each, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS of which to be Subscribed for in the first instance, and the other half to be progressively added, as Establishments shall be formed, by allowing the Inhabitants of any Town to Subscribe one half of the Capital which it may be estimated as requisite to form the Eitahlishment. The local management of each Establishment to be vested in Directors, chosen by the general body from among the Proprietors of that Town : but the General Board in London to have an equal number of Votes, (should it deemproper to exer cise the Privilege), either Personally, or by Proxy. The Dividends to be made from the Aggregate Profits of all the Provincial Gas Works, and to be determined (subject to the ap proval of a General Meeting of the Proprietary), by the General Board in London, at a preparatory Annual Meeting of the Direc tors, where a Delegate from the Directors of each Provincial Gas Work, is to be entitled to Vote as a general Director; and all Pro prietors r hacever, to be entitled to Vote at all General Meetings. If, however, the resident Proprietors in a Provincial Town shall desire it, their proportion of the Profits arising from the Establish ment in that Town, to be given to those Proprietors in lieu of any Dividend from the General Fund; but in such case, that Town shall have no Voice in the General Management. As a considerable time must intervene before many Provincial Establishments can be formed, the call on Subscribers for their In stalments will be very gradual. The Company either to be conducted under a Special Deed of Agreement, or to apply for a Charter or Aet of Parliament, as a General Meeting may determine upon. Subscriptions will be received on and after the 20th of Novem ber, at the Banking-Houses of Messrs. Courrs and Co. and of Messrs. VRIES, WARD, and Co. or by Mr. GIORGR PALMIR, No. 12, Castle-alley, Royal Exchange. Su soon as the E. 500,000 shall have been subscribed, a Meeting of the Proprietors to be called for the purpose of confirming, or for making such alterations as may be deemed advisable in the pro. posed Constitution of the Company ;—for Electing Directors; and for Deciding upon such Preliminary and other Measures as , shall be thought necessary for the successful Prosecution of the Undertaking. ONE FOUND per Share to be paid at the time of Subscribing ; and no Person to be allowed to Subscribe, in the first instance, for , more than Five Hundred Shares. The Deposit Money to be held by Messrs. Coons and Co. and Messrs. Vanes, WARD, and Ca ; until such time as Directors shall be appointed. ~•, • 1 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13 1S SCOTTISH HOSPITAL TAE ANNUAL GENERAL COURT for the ELECTION of OFFICERS, Ste. pursuant to Charter, will be held in the Corporation Hall, Crane-court, Fleet-street, on TUESDAY, the 30th instant, being St. Andrew's Day ; after which, the Governors, Friends, and Benefactors of the Charity will Dine together, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street.

A NEIV VOLCANO. MARSEILLES, OCTOBER 16. A vessel arrived a few days since limn the Canaries, after a passage of nineteen days, has brought letters supplying details respecting a volcano which has burst forth in the Island of Lancerotto ; one among the rest written by an Officer of Artillery, the 27th September, is couched in the following terms ;••• 4 ' On the 29th of last August, earthquakes, whiCh became more terrible during the night, were felt at the port of Rescif and the environs. On the Nth they increased, and were accom panied by subterreneous noises. The night was still more terrible. Fear diffused itself among:the inhabitants of the capital and the surrounding villages; all persons, filled with terror, abandoned their houses. On the 31st at seven in the morning, and immediately after, -more violent shocks of earthquake, and louder sub t erranean noises, a volcano broke out at about a league from the port of Rescif, and about half a league from. the moun tain called La Famia. It vomited from its crater flames that illuminated the whole island, and red hot stones, of so large a size and in so gi eat a quantity, that'in less than twenty-four hours they formed a considerable mountain. This eruption lasted till ten o'clock'in the morning. On, the Ist of September the volcano appeared to close, and left nothing but cracks, whence a thick smoke, which covered all the vicinity, escaped.

Sprains, Bruises, and Deafness; and the experience of late years, in England, proves that it merits the high character given of it by the most eminent in the Profession, in those obstinate com plaints. Being combined in the form of Opodeldoc, it is rendered more penetrating, and consequently much more efficacious as an external application.

SPAIN. - -N.- FROM THE ETOILE OF WEDNESDAY. MADRID, NOV. 4. The . King and Royal Family are still at the Escurial. The Supreme Council cf La Camara has just pub lished the regulations prescribed by the King, relative to Ecclesiastics who have belonged to the secret so cieties, or who have caused themselves to be remarked by their impiety, and the Exaltation. 6 1. The Ecclesiastics are comprised, as well as the other suhjecfs of his Majesty, in the decree of Amnesty of May I, this year. In consequence, they enjoy are • Mission of the corporal, civil, and pecuniary petraitir: Aid: they may have incurred by their conduct during the soi &sant Constitutional Government. ' 2. Those who are confined, or brought before the tri bunals, may, therefore, claim their liberty, conformably to the dispositions of the Royal Or donnance c f the' /3th of June last. 3. The said Ecclesiastics, however, cannot claim the prebends, livings, or benefices which they held. Their representations shall be laid before the Bishops of their dioceses,. who shall decide upon them according to the canons of the Church. 4. It is also for : the Bishops to cause the revenues of the Prebendaries, Beneficiaries, and others, who have fled, to be sequestrated. The Camara will, in the se quel, make an arrangement with the Caine d Amor tissanent to deposit in it the funds sequestrated. A Royal decree fixes the mode of election of the Al. calde l and other Municipal Officers ; a triple list is to be laid, before his Majesty for his approbation; no one shall henceforth be chosen Regidor in towns of the first class, unless he has an annual revenue of 1,000 piasters (5,000 franc's.) The dispatches from the Viceroy La Serna state that every thing is being placed, in Peru, on the ancient footing, to the great satisfaction of the inhabitants.— The troops are numerous and animated with the best spirit. Generals Canterac and Valdez are in pursuit of Bolivar. That rebel Chief has made several proposals for an arrangement : they have been all rejected. .INDIA. •••••11.111..... FROM THE SINGAPORE CHRONICLE. THE TRADE OF SINGAPORE. SINGAPORE, JUNE 10. We have the pleasure of laying before our readers the following statement, shewing the resort of European and Native shipping to the port of-Singapore, for the purposes of trade or refreshment, front the end of De cember, 1822, to the beginning of Januat y, 1824.. The number of port clearances granter] to European vessels during this period amounted to 208. Of these, forty-seven cleared out for Hindostan, forty-two for Malacca and Pinang, forty-eight for China, nine for Great Britain, four for Manilla, three for ; Siam, four for Tringanu and Kalantan, five for Borneo, twenty-nine for Java, six for Sumatra, eleven for Borneo, and one for New South Wales. The tonnage of these vessels amounted to upwards of 73,000 tons, hut, as must be evident enough from the nature and situation of the place, many of the vessels put in f.ir the convenience of wooding ood a alering only—others again t?aded to a small extent—some took in a large portion of their Cargoes, and a few the whole amount of their lading. The place indeed is so conveniently situated, from the facility of ingtess and egress, that almost every ship that passes through the Straits of_ Malacca, touches, if for no other view _than to obtain information. Indeed. out of 424 vessels that passed and repassed the Straits of Malacca during the year 1823, we think that not more than six or -even pasted on without touching, and these were chiefly Dutch men of war. The next most important branch of frade is probably that of the Chinese Junks of Canton and F.•ltien. In 1823, these amounted to six in number, in all about 3,000 tons. These Junks import and .export complete cargoes to and from Singapore only., The native trade from Siam amounted in 1823, to thirty-four Junks, which may be considered equal to 11,000 tons.. The greater number of these import full cargoes, and carry away an equivalent. .A iew have traded previously at the port of Java and Pinang, and touch at Singapore to make up their cargoes. The native trade with Cochin-China, during the same period, amounted to twenty-seven dimity, and to about 4,000 tons. The whole number of these also (with the exception of a very few to Malacca and Pinang) trade direct with Singapore alone. The trade of the Indian Islanders pith Singapore may be divided into the following classes—that of the Bugis—of the Borneans—the Samatriins, and that of the Malayans in this neighbourhood. The whcle of the port clearances throughout the year, on account of all these, amounted to 1,345, and in this enumeration, the same vessels are of necessity frequently. included be, tween this port and every place within the Straits of Malacca : frequent intercourse is 'kept up th .y r o op a g g hz the year, and t here is, for example, a cla s s of restels-.L the Prahu Par:l—which often makes th re e i ,~ . !". 0 L. ~n _...5~ 1 4 ....;~ 1
