An order has been issued to pensioned Irish and Cus tom-house officers to return a list of their services, age, and state of health, with a view to their being employed. As a specimen of the prodigious fall in agricultural stock, it is said that 20 wether sheep, which were pur chased a few weeks since, at an auction near Marlbo rough, for £32, were last week repurchased by the ori ginal seller, at Devizes fair, for £22. NEW MODE OF MOUNTING SHIP Con sequence of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having received from Vice-Admiral Sir P. Malcolm highly favourable accounts of the advantages of Capt.

In the vestibule of this mansion is a collection of antique Greek and Roman Statuary of inestimable value. There are also some choice pictures, both ancient and modern. The town house in Privy-gardens, one of the largest in London, is kg at present to Lord GODERICII. THE STARLING. (roa TIM STAR.) " I'll have a Starling shall be taught to speak Nought but Inuit be mad!' and give it hint To keep his anger still in motion." SHAISTIART. The Starling that Stamm in captivity beard, Must surely have been a Republican bird. And, disliking restraint of all kinds, no doubt, It chattered for ever, " I can't get out !" But a Starling I've seen hop in smothered rage Round the golden bars of a Royal cage ; While the King-fishers look'd from their perch with a grin, And mock'd as he scream'd out " I can't get in !" They mocked, till be thought his proud heart would break, And he heat at the gate with his warlike beak ; Till a Jay that saw him, cried—" Hold, my lad, " If you think to get in so, you must be mad ! " You must change your tone, and sing small—quite small— " And protest you don't want to get in at ah— " And, clapping your claw on your crest, just add, " To pant Inc a perch, way psa !nu; ht. mad." The Stealing, prudently took the hint, And said, as he look'd at the bird' asquint, " Though Eagles to share your cage might be glad, " Yet to cherish such wishes, I must be mad !" 'Till some rats gnawed the golden bars with their teeth, And worried the chief King-6'6er to death; Said the Starling, who sous in his plumage was clad, "If I don't take his place, why Imu he mid. " They tell me there's fair-play in turn about :" So he turn'd all but one of the King Mhers out ; And be fastened the door with a ribhand of plaid, " If they come in again, why I must be mad !" But as soon as he got on the perch aloft, At the perch, and the cage, and the bars he molt ; " They're old, and they're flimsy, and shabby and bad. " And I'll have a new cage, or I must be mad." So he pulled it to pieces u fast as be could, Nor left a ♦estige to shelter his brood ; And flocks of starlings, who mucked their dad, Kept echoing around him. " I must be mad!" Oct. 27, 1129. _____ PETER SCHLEMML. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, Ocrozsa 24. You have by this time heard of the extraordinary libe rality shown by the new Ministers of Cii A (ILES X. to the Portuguese Patriots, who, after their late dispersion, have not only received a handsome pecuniary donation and some clothing, but are about to be transferred in French vessels to Ostend. Although the highest credit is due to the Marquis of PALMELLA for the talent and address he has shown throughout this negociation, it is somewhat remarkable that an Ultra French Administra tion should have presented such a contrast in its treat ment of the Patriots, to that exhibited in England ; from whence they were not only driven away with a species of ignominy, but attacked by British ships of war when they attempted to land in an island possessed by their lawful Sovereign! Had not the representations of the Noble Marquis been attended to by Prince Pomo Ac, who has, by the way, acquired a good deal of credit for his conduct on this occasion, it is confidently reported that Po zzo of Bosco would have interfered in behalf of the Patriots. Anil now that Russia has become the first Power in Europe, do not be surprised if the Emperor NICHOLAS restores Donna MARIA to her throne. This is one of the most probable events of the day, and a very natural conse quence of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S inexplicable DEATH OF THE CELEBRATED JAMES HAMILTON, AUTHOR OP THE IMPROVED SYSTEM OP TEACHING LANGUAGES. The death of Mr. JAMES HAMILTON occurred in Dublin, on the 15th of last month, two days after violent sea-sickness ; and is supposed to have been occasioned by spasms. A widow and four children have to deplore the loss of their dearest friend and best protector ; while they have to thank the successful exertion of his talents and ardent zeal in the propagation of his system for the com petence they inherit by his hooks. The names most dis tinguished for improvement in the art of teaching, since the days of Aschtun and Locke, not to mention the living (as Lancaster, Bell, Fellenberg, Jacotol, Perry, and others), are Pestalozzi and Hamilton. The former, by seeking to unfold the latent powers of observation, has done most of all educators, from Aristotle down to Owen, to effect a change in the Matter of Instruction. The Intui tion, which Pestalozzi makes the ground-work of educa tion, takes for its object, first—The individual, as consist ing of parts and properties ; and then proceeds to examine, in a never-ending succession, the dmdalean net-work of created things—the fittest instrument to call into play all " the faculties and slumbering energies of man." (Pes talozzi's Letters to Greaves, letter 22.) The efforts of Hamilton, on the other band, have been directed to a great practical improvement in the manner of instruction, applicable chiefly to the study of languages. It is easy to judge of the value of his method so long as public opinion continues to require scholarship as a test of fitness for certain professions. Should that condition cease, the value of the Hamiltonian System will be of a different stamp ; it will have less of a commercial, more of an in tellectual character—regarded as affording ready access to the literary treasures of foreign nations and remoter times. We hope that time will establish that conviction of its usefulness which personal experience, in spite of prejudice, has forced upon us ; and which calls for this tribute to the Author's fame, as a man who risked his all to promulgate, in the face of long consecrated routine, a blessing to the rising generation. There is an interesting account, in the Irish papers, of a dinner given to Mr. SHIEL, who, in furtherance of his resolution to stand for Louth, has attended a registry of freeholders at Dundalk, in that county. THE DUKE Or CLARENCE.—The Quotidienne thus describes his Royal Highness during his late visit to Dieppe :—" The Duke of CLARENCE very often walks about the town alone. He does not appear to care fog any ceremony. He is elderly ; but not yet at that age which drives away cheerfulness, and bends the knees. His height is tall—his constitution seems robust. If he stoops a little, he leans on his cane; it belongs to the habit of this Prince to listen attentively to the persons who approach him. His countenance greatly resembles that of Groacia 111. there is a dignity, a character of elevation in the carriage of his head ; he has a high fore head, and short powdered hair. His behaviour is very unaffected. He speaks very good French ; and it often happens that he holds conversation with the old invalids of our Navy, who are constantly at the end of the jetty, in order not to lose sight of that sea which reminds them of past exploits." THE ARMY Loao FITZIO? SOKLIISICiS LlST.—Major-General Lord Fitzroy Somerset, K.C.B. as Military Secretary to General Lord Hill, C.C. B. and G.C.H. Commanding in Chief, went through his List yesterday, at his office in the Horse Guards. A few Generals and about twenty other Officen, transacted military business with his Lordship. Detachments belonging to the 19th (Ist York North Riding,) and the 86th (Royal County Down) Regiments of Font, em barked on the 64th instant on board the Robert, at Liverpool, for Harbadoes. Detachments belonging to the 42d (Royal Highland.) and the 47th (Lancashire) Regiments of Infantry, embarked as the 25 , h instant at Gravesend, on board the Endymiun freight ship, for Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. Gart ism' Court-Martial assembled at Government House on Monday last, for the trial of private William Cooper, of the 29th Regiment, for deserting from that corps in November. 1828, and not returning until brought back under an escort on the 15th Oc tober, 1929. The Court found the prisoner Guilty, and sentenced him to three months' solitary confinement. IRON TER CORE The Grenadier, and First Company, (head quarters) of the 65th liegimeot. embarked in the Lord Cochrane transport, at Cork, for the West Indies. on Tuesday—Officers, Lieutenant. Colonel Dumas, Captain Walker, Lieutenant Whittaker, Adjutant and Paymaster Bates, Lieutenant Wyatt, Ensigns Gold and Murray, Quarterataster Coleman, and Assistant-Surgeon Lorimer. The tran•ports to convey the other four companies are daily expected at Cove. The Reserve Companies of the 65th regiment are at Fermoy. Major General Sir George Bingham inspected the reserve com panies of the 97th regimina at Watzrford, on Wednesday, under command of Major Pattinni. NA VA L INTELLIGENCE.

Rests.—Let those who care for the commerce of the rest of Europe, and who say Russia has guaranteed the free navigation of the Dardanelles and of the Black Sea to all nations, remember once and again, that she secures to herself exclusive privileges—freedom from right of search—and that Russian subjects shall be amenable to Russian Consuls and Russian Ministers only ! Call ye this an equality of privileges to all nations, ye advocates of Russian moderation ? The exclusive claims for the Russian flag throughout the Ottoman empire are quite enough to sicken all but the bigotted admirers of Russian sincerity and virtue.— Tyne Mercury. AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—Friday a disp e took place in Dublin between two official gentlemen (an Alderman of that city and a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army), when such language was applied by one to the other as induced the person most offended to send a message. The matter was overheard by a gentleman connected with the police establishment, and both parties were bound to keep the peace. Mr. Webster, of Leven, had a dog, in appearance much like the Dutch pug, but a species of the terrier, which Mr. A Keith, portrait painter, Edinburgh, took a likeness of, which being shown to the animal, he imme diately ran of and has not since been heard of ! ! ! Tha dog has been ten years about the house.—Eden burgh Paper. When Lord ERSKINE, who commanded the Inns of Court Volunteers, to which he had facetiously given the title of the Devil's Own, was asked whether he thought his corps was to be relied upon in the hour of trial, re plied; " I cannot tell that, but I am sure they will, one and all, levy and plunder." It appears by the proceedings of the Cork Special Commission, that the trial of the first fonr prisoners for having conspired to kill and murder John Bond Low, Arthur G. Creagh, and Henry Evans, Esqrs. has termi nated in a virdict of guilty against all of them. This is the conspiracy which some of the Roman Catholic Papers in Dublin were lately in the habit of ridiculing, as having no existence but in the imagination of credu lous persons. There were 17 other persons to be tried. A certain Magistrate °roue ofourWest Country Burghs having been in Court when the Lord Justice Clerk passed sentence of death on two unhappy criminals, was so deeply impressed with the solemnity of the proceed ings, that he resolved on imitating his Lordship in the discharge of his Magisterial functions. An op portunity soon occurred. A delinquent charged with a petty theft was placed at the bar of the Court where this Magistrate officiated. A proof was gone into, and the crime established; when his Worship, put ting on his hat with a gravity becoming the occasion, addressed the culprit nearly as follows : "It is only left me to perform the painful duty of sentencing you to thirty day's confinement in Bridewell, and may the Lord have mercy on your soul." TAKE CARE OF YOUR POCKETS.—Monday evening, Mr. Joseph, residing at No. "27, Phillip-street, St. George's in the East, went to the Surrey Theatre, in company with his wife and some friends, to witness the performance of Black-eyed Susan. There being an ex cessive crowd round the pit-door, he observed to some of his friends. " Take care of your pockets." A voice in the crowd echoed " Take care of your own ;" and on putting his hand, immediately afterwards, into his trousers' pocket, to his great astonishment, his purse was extracted, containing four sovereigns, some silver, and divers memorandums, with which the thieves got off. " OPPOSITION STuFv."—John Randolph, in his fa mous opposition to the passage of the Woollens Bill in the American Congress, entered so deeply into the anti manufacturing spirit that he declared he would go, at at any time, 20 rods out of his way to kick a sheep. DREADFUL FlRE.— Between three and four o'clock this morning, a fire of a moat alarming nature broke out in the very extensive premises of Messrs. Hardky and Garrett, Leather Japanners, and patent Leather Manufacturers, in Princes-street, Lambeth. From tt e combustible nature of several articles on the premises, the flames issued forth with a fury that threatened the destruction of the whole neighbourhood, and were seen distinctly at half-past four o'clock from Tower Hill. The adjoining large premises of Mr. Muss, a chemical apparatus manufacturer, were next ignited ; and notwithstanding the speedy arrival of about a dozen of the Assuraoce Olice Engines, and a great number of fire men, as well as Constables, Watchmen. Lice. the flames had gained suck a mastery over every exertion used to extinguish them, that these two valuable manufactories are now reduced to ruins, not a particle of property in either escaping destruction ! The attention of the firemen was next devoted to the safety of the King's Arms Tavern. kept by Mr. Worth, which was preserved from destruc tion, although the rear is much damaged. With the exception of Mr. Worth's house, no part of the property destroyed was Moored. It is not known by what means the fire originated. The fire was got completely under by seven o'clock, and we are happy to say that no one received any personal injury so the occasion. ABDUCTION. Weduesd..-v lust. Mr. Patrick and airs. Anna Maria Magill, and Mr. John Magi:), ..ppv ii tj w i t h t h e i r Cou.:sel, Mr. J. B. at the Police-oilier, !Ivory—tree:, Dullin to answer the complaint of Miss Julia Blake, of Illotg,mterF -street , who was accompanied by bee sister, Mts. Johnson. The complainant detailed the particulars of her case with some what more minuteness than cm the first occasion. Tin- only knowledge she had of where she had Ken, was her ttay.ng passed through the village of Lucan, as she came Iwo town ; she walked the whole way, and was occupied in the journey from half-past five until a quarter past nine. Mr. Magill's Counsel argued on the construction of the 2itl lath Geo. IV. chap. 31, that no force bad been used, and that Miss Blake bad voluntarily gone with the part'es. After considerable discussion, Mr. Cole alluded to the cue of Miss Turner; the story told of 111i.s Turner, as in this ctse. swat totally different from what subsequently occurred ; it was not ma terial whether or not persons resorted to a complete degree of violence to effect their object ; it was enough to say whether the lady had been enticed from home, and that A degree of force had been used at any period of the transaction ; and this, coupled with the intent to marry, was proved. Counsel expressed his regret that the matter could not he ami cably adjusted. and said, perhaps they might join their lauds be fore they left the office, as there was a clergyman present The lady indignantly said she would sooner die than have any thing to say to such a —. - . Mr. Cole said he was determined to leave it to a higher tribunal to decide, in order to remove from the Magistrates any imput,ltion of levity in a case where the rights of a female. more particularly. were so grievously infringed on. It was the first case of this kind which bad occurred in this country since the late enactment. and he would refer it to a higher tribunal. The young lady accordirgly proceeded to lodge her informations. A Solicitor. on the part of the complainants, suggested to the Magistrates hi, client.' walliticness to have the amount at hailmiti gated ; it was accardingly reduced to 25/. and their own surety of 50/. each, in default of hail to he committed to Newgatr.

A Portuguese Etnigrant has addr,ssal the fa:lowin; sensible rein irks t. the Editor of the remits: " But how cruJ hitherto has teen the late of the faithful Par tuguese, how great his been their sufferitgs!—wiles in forei.ol lands, rotting in dungeons, or condemned to the scaffold as traitw . to a perjured and perfidious usurper; while days, months, and years arc rolling on, and .till their lawful Sovertign, for whom they suffer, has not yet declared the usurper to be such—has pig yet di - elated him to be a traitor, a rebel, or :an outlaw—ha. not eve.. yet interdicted her subjects from obeying hint, or warned them . the consequences of doing ; and far less still have her faith ful adherents been authorised to lift their arm in legitimate war against this fanatic despot, ot wrest front him the power that he wields to the destruction of their country. Let but the Queen, however, or her reaprlsentatives, speak from her falderal island of Terceir.i, and it will soon be seen how many swords wit: be raised in support of her cause, and how few in sopport art that of Miguel; and let her Majesty but protiounee the ja•t seen. tie: against her vassal and subject, Miguel, as an outlaw tor his treasmi and rebellion, and the faithful Portuguese, who slkslaiii to become assas.itis, would then strive to deserve the gratitude of the nation, by ridding it of a proscribed usurper, whose crime. against ht..- manity alone might long ago have justified the severest itvrsoli.l'. vengeance. " But you, Sir, and every one else, will naturally ask, why has the Queen failed to act so? And Woe we come at once to the real cause of our protracted misfortunes ; and here we must assert that it is not our fault if we are idle instead of fighting,—it is not either the fault of our Queen, or her representatives, if we have been silent and have not spoken ow. The cause has been " the negociations undertaken," and the efforts made, by the Ministers of this country "to reconcile conflicting interests." Unhappy efforts, alas ! and much to be lamented that England should have made any such to preserve to an usurper the throne of a country from which he had already been justly banished for his horrid crime•, and which, but for his plighted faith, and the intercession and mediatims of the three great Powers of Europe, he would never have hero permitted to re-visit. A manifesto, however, of the Queen's repre sentatives, and a history of those negociations which have hitherto paralysed the efforts of the Queen's adherents, is now in preparation, and will soon he made public; and from it will be seeti tur what end, and for whom,werr undertaken these negodations, and an expensive embassy ; but it is to be hoped they are at an end, and that the Mi nistry of this country may be convinced of a fact, that when lrgiti mate authority (as was the case in Portugal) has once cast off the shackles of despotic sway, and enlightened sentiments have burst the bonds of fanaticism and superstition, a people so circumstanced cannot be brought beck to bend their neck to the yoke of an ab solute despot and usurper, or suffer themselves again to he go verned by priestcraft and ignorance. Such interests never can be reconciled;" and it is to be hoped that the British Government, the ancient ally and protector of Portugal, and so deeply interested In the preservation of this country as an independent nation, will for the future limit " its efforts" to restrain Spain from in termeddling in the affairs of its neighbour. Let the Duke of Wellington, whose name and glory is combined with the dearest recollections of every Portuguese patriot, only make up his mind, that his efforts for reconciliation having proved abortive, hencefors ward the Portuguese shall be their own free agents to settle their internal disputes as they best nsay be abk among themselves, and he will regain the good opinion and d the continued gratitude of the Portuguese. But in order to effect this, it will not o nly b e car. cessary that England maintain a strict neutrality herself, but the. as the ally of Portugal. she require every other uation to do the same; and it will be seen :hat the simple notification of this state of affairs will be sufficient to dismay every partisan of the despot, and that he in a very limited period will be glad to Sy front the fury of those who have plunged themselves so deep in crime fur his cause, under the disappointed assurances of English support and protection, (for this is the avowed source of his power, and his talisman for obedience,) when be, with his mother and the fanatic Silvans, will have to seek an asylum with kindred blood and sentiments at the Court of Fernando, whose late recognition of this despot has well shown the part this Catholic King played in the former troubles of Portugal." The funeral of Mr. DAME., the Royal Academician, took place at St. Paul's yesterday morning ; the pall was borne by the Russian Ambassador and Sir THOMAS LA% a a sea ; a long cortege of artists and literary men attended.
