Thursday night a Meeting of the above Society was held in the So ciety's Apartments, Somerset House, Davies Gilbert Esq. M.P. the President, in the chair. A variety of donations made to the Society were announced, and thanks voted for the same. Sir Jesus SOUTH complained that there was no notice taken of • book presented by him to the Society, entitled " Charges to be brought by Sir James South, against the Royal Society ;" the voting of thanks for such a work, was to him (Sir J. South) a matter of mere indiffer ence, hut he thought it was a matter of gtwx consequence to the So ciety, that all donations of whatever desaiption, should be from time to time laid before the Fellows in public meeting assembled •, a differ. ent course, he contended, might lead to the keeping back of necessary information ; at all events it was a system that ought to be discoun tenanced ; no officer of the Society ought to have it in his power to de. cide what presents should or should not be publicly acknowledged. Dr. Granville, Mr. Babbage, Mr. Hawkins, and several others rose to order ; they were of opinion that the usual course of the meeting ought not to be disturbed, no previous notice of motion on the subject under discussion having been given. A scene of much confusion then ensued, Members vociferating " Hear, hear," "Chair, chair," " Proceed with business," " No in terruption," &c. The CIIAIRMAN having gained a hearing, said that the practice usually adopted in the House of Commons as to the forms of proceed ing with business was adhered to usually by the society ; and he did not know, however, if that circumstance was any recommendation. — (Laughter.) The bye laws certainly required notice to be given.— While he was on his legs, he begged to offer some explanation of the omission complained of by Sir James South. The work alluded to had certainly been presented to the society a copy of it had also been presented to himself—(a laugh)--and though it reflected In tolerably strong terms against him, he (the President) should preserve it with great care; In that book there was a passage to the effect, that if he. the author (Sir James South) should be expelled the society, he should consider it no disgrace, as it was no honour to belong to it, as it was at present constituted. Now, continued the President, it was considered rather out of the way of usual business to give a vote of thanks for a work which contained such a sweeping censure. (Hear, laughter, and applause.) - - . .. . Sir J. SOUTIE again presented binnelf, and began to address the Chair, but was completely coughed down; he then took up his bat, and quitted the meeting in dudgeon. The usual business was next disposed of, after which the meeting se parated• STATE OF THE COUNTRY. KENT. Altogether things wear a more tranquil aspect in Kent. There have been few riotous assemblages of the pasantry, the general rise in wages having given much satisfaction to the labowen ; and although two or three Gres have occurred, they have been of minor importance, and the value of the property destroyed is not considerable. It has been observed that very little wheat has been of late destroyed, other produce being generally, it appears, selected by the incendiaries--compunction perhaps in one respect only. The most serious occurrence is the attempt at assassination directed against a gentleman engaged in the night patrol of a parish in this neighbourhood. We trust we shall hear no more of this.—Seal Herald of yesterday. OXFORDSHIRE. OzroiD, Nov. 25.—The bad spirit of the times (which, for want of an early check, has been travelling at such a meirsging pace in the southern counties) has extended to Oxfordshire. In consequence of in. formation received on Tuesday last, that indications of assemblies of evil-disposed persons had showed themselves in the neighbourhood, the Authorities of the University and City thought it expedient to appoint a large body of special constables. Happily there has as yet been no oc. casion to call in the aid of this extra force ; but prudence justifies this display of energy in a place where, without forgetting what is due to the real hardships of our poorer but ill-advised brethren, there must ever exist such strong mesons for supporting good order and protecting property. We regret to state that disturbances of a serious chararter have taken place in Huntingdonshire. A party of labourers yesterday entered the premises of Mr. Bturton, an extensive farmer raiding at Almbury, in that county, and broke his thrashing machines. On Mr. Sturton en. devouring to protest his property, one of the fellows struck him a vio lent Mow. Mr. Suntan bas arrived in town for the purpose of pro- curing the assistance of some of the London police. We understand that upwards of seventy persons were apprehended so Wednesday at s village called Hintbory, six miles from Newbury. The exertions of the Under Sheriff, and of a gentleman who accompanied him, are highly commended. Several of the leaden In the an committed in that neighbourhood have been takes. They were in the act of dividing the spoil. In this county the destruction of farming property by fire, instead of being on the decline, has, during the past week, become of more fiNuent occurrence. The agricultural labourers, too, continue to hold their meetings in all directions for the openly avowed purpose of ob taining an increase of wages; and in same eras these meetings have been conducted with the utmost order and dames s bet we negro to state, that, in others, where the labourers have met in esedismile semben, threats have been resorted to in order to accomplish desk purpose; excesses have been committed, and the incumbents in many parishes have been induced by threats and intimidation to sign papers, which have been laid before them by the mob, agr ... .. tlLnake a considerable reduction in their tithes, Many of the in theme assem blages have been apprehended, and serene t hem " committed to gaol The risings of the labourers are not confined to any particular district, where local circumstances might have operated as the more immediate cause ; the spirit has extended itself from ens extremity of the country to the other; and even where the agricultural labourers are content with the scale of wage, they are in the habit of receiving, they are compelled to quit their work and join the ranks rides discontented.—Lett Herald. LYNDHURST, IN THE NEW FOREST. This usually quiet neighbourhood is in the greatest confusion, not to say alarm. Mr. Buckly, of 'Coshed, a very active and able magistrate, and one much beloved, was called up In the night, to meet a mob of 2,000 people, marching from Ringwood and Poole, to collect forces among the foresters (who are a wild, active, and enterprising set), on their route to Winchester. Mr. Buddy went to meet them, and sent to Sir Hussey Vivian and Mr. Compton; they swore in ape. cial constables, and came to a regular light on an open desert pin of the forest, near Ringwood. These gentlemen took the leaden of the gang, and they were convicted by them. General Wynyard escorted eight more towards Winchester, when this account left. The forest people behaved very well. ROmsey is disturbed, which is a town bordering on the forest towards Winchester. Several coaches were stopped, and people travelling this road; and money extorted from houses, and all the neighbourhood is in the greatest consternation. Very bad accounts have reached us from Salisbury ; the Earl of Radnor has arrived by express, and taken up his abode at the principal inn there. All the shops are shut in that town. LAW REPORTS. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 26. This morning, at 12 o'clock, the foll Owing noble and distinguished indivtduals entered the Coon of King's Bench, and took the usual oaths of allegiance and supremacy on entering upon Aloe s The Duke of Devonshire as Lord Chamberlain; Earl Grey, as First Lord of the Treasury; the Marque of Lansdowne, as Lord President of the Council; Lord Goderich, as Secretary of the Colonies; Lord Durham, as Lord Privy Seal ; the Earl of Carlisle ; Lord Althorp, as Chancellor of the Isebequa ; the Right Honourable Charles Grant, as President of the Baud of Controul ; Sir James GeoriarGrahatn, a First Lord of the Admiralty; the Right Hon. George W. Ellis. as First Commissioner of Woods, Forests, and Land venue ; and Lord Holland, as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. After the oaths of allegiance and supremacy had been administaed by the clerk of the court, each of the distinguished personages asps. rarely took the oath prescribed by the late Act of Parliament, that they would not use any influence they might obtain by virtue of their re. 'pectin offices to the injury of the protestant church, as by law eats. bUshed. The court was very much crowded. The Middlesex grand jury brought in their presentments. Mr. J. Justice IPazis thanked them for their public services, and they were discharged. ZI.TARTE THI JUSTICES or NORWICH. )Ir. CANITIBILL moved for a writ of certiorari, to 1101011 e a 00110 C" don under the pine laws into this court The party on whose behalf he made this applicadon had been convicted of having gente in his pos. sess i on not b e i ng a qualified person. Now the fact w as , that stray convicted was forty miles from the place where the game was and he (Mr. Campbell) therefore contended that the conviction of bay. in the game in his possession could not be sustained. TENTIRDSN.—Yon may take your writ, but 1 IRO by no means certain that the conviction is not good. CRIMINAL INFORMATIONt3. THE RING V. AULT. The ATTORSEY-OKNZAAL 'hewed Mkt against a rub Aw ned by Sir J. Barlett, to file a criminal information against th e d e f en d ant for publishing an offensive libel on J. Pane, F.eq. M.P. for Oxford s hi re . The libel was contained in a placard published at the late 'Medea for Oxfordshire. The defendant in his affidavit denied all knowledge ol the letters sent to Mr. Pane previous to the appearance of the libel, and stated, that the paper had been put Into his Lands by a friend, wboss name he could not in honour give up. He admitted that he had em ployed a person to print the placard. Mr. F. WILLIAMS followed OD the same side. Sir J. SCARLETT, ID support of his rule, said Mr. Adey could not get off so easy. If his friend had betrayed him, there was no ground for concealing his name.—The rule was made absolute. NORWICH ELECTION. Mr. Pollock moved to die a criminal information against several persons, whose names he did not mention, for conspiracy and bribery, at the election of an Aderman for the city of Norwich. After hearing the substance of the affidavit, the Court granted a rule to thew cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 96. Sittings in Banco. SHREWSBURY v. COTTINGHAM. This cause was tried some time ago before the Court of Common Pleas, and the plaintiff (the Earl of Shrewsbury) was non-suited. The action had been brought to recover da mages for the non-payment of the rent of certain lands leased by the plaintiff to the defendant. The defence was, that the lease in cluded only waste lands, and that those in question did not come under that description. The CounT to-day decided, after bearing Counsel, that the ease should go to a new jury. The learned Judge, in nonsuidng the plain. tiff, had only considered what the term " waste land" embraced in point of law, whereas the true question was, what it, embraced in the contract between the parties. POLICE REPORTS. BOW-IT RE LT..BIILIIIIIIIII/ AID Rzsuansctrowarrs.—Yesterday a lad of rather genteel appearance, named Samar Wrothall, and two sturdy-looking men, named Richard Browning and Robert Bonner, were brought up for re-examination, charged with uttering a number of I counterfeit half.aowns. Mr. Wrn. Hall, landlord of the Falcon, Uxbridge ' deposed that on Saturday evening last the three prisoners came into his house and had bread and cheese and beer, in payment for which the lad Wrethall gave a half-crown, and received the difference, and very shortly a ft er went away. The other prisoners took more refreshment, for which they paid with a good shilling, and before they went witness discovered that the half-crown was bad, and told them so, and Browning immediately gave 2a. 6d. good money for it, and said " The young fellow's a shopmate of mine, and he'll make it all right with me." Mr. Wm. Goodman, hosier, at Uxbridge, deposed that the prisoner Wrothall passed a bad half-crown to him in the purchase of a pair of stockings. The other two prisoners were waiting outside the door, and walked away with Wrothall. Charlotte Wilson deposed to receiving a bad half-aown from Wroth all, in payment for a pound of sausages. Mr. Stephen Wise, landlord of the Cricketers, at Harefield, stated that the prisoners came to his house on Monday night, and had beer and bread and meat, for which Wrothall paid with a half-crown, re ceiving Is. bd. change. Witness put the half-crown, with ano ther, into his pocket, and Wrothall went away. The other prisoners after wards gave him a bad shilling for more beer, but he detected it, and they gave him a good one for it. Witness afterwards found that one of the half-crowns in his pocket was bad, and he had no doubt be es. ,ceived it from Wrothall. He gave information to Croswell, a coasts. ble, and Wrothall was pursued and taken into custody ; he had two pence.halfpenny only in his pocket. He was put in the cage, and on the following morning he had two shillings, which, be said, the two men he had been with (meaning the other prisoners) bad given him early in the morning, through the bars of the cage. Croswell confirmed this statement, and said be apprehended Brown ing and Bonner the same morning, fon the road from Hatfield, and found a bad half-crown on Browning. Bonner threw a small paper parcel into a ditch, and it could not be found. Mr. Powell, the Solicitor to the Mint, said, there would be no doubt of other against the prisoners, if they were remanded. Wrogall har ,r his defence, said, he knew nothing of the other prisoners —he never saw them In his life until they were in custody. Mr. Burnaby (the Clerk).--Why, on the former examination, you said you:knew him perfectly well. Browning said nothing, except that he was innocent. Bonner, when called upon, said, your Worship, I knows nothing at all about the contain. I beans no smasher--I works quite in another line. And what may that line be ? enquired Mr. MINIPHULL. Bonner—Why, your worship, I works for the faculty. Mr. Bennett, and the studgents at the Uniwarsity o' LUDOOD employs me, and I was down in the neighbourhood where I was took up, &purpose to get a harticle for em as they wanted out of a church-yard handy thereabouts. I should ha' had the hartide that ere night, and most likely two or three more upon spec.—for they fetches a good market now, if I hadn't been grabbed for this hers job, which I knows nothing at all about. Mr. Powell said that Bonner and Wrothall were discharged only a few days ago, the former from liattomptden, and the lanes from Marlborough-street, on similar charges, sad the evidence being font. Went. Bonner-1 tell your worship agate as how I Want no smasher. My tools were found about me, only the constable didn't know the use on 'em. He shook the sack, and thought, I suppose, it was full of queer pewter (bad money), but it was only meant for a stiff 'an or two. Mr. MixsauLL reprehended the levity of the prisoner, and re. mended them all until Tuesday next. HATTON.GAIDISHIGEWAY ROMIZZIN . Of Puma VP PRI Tonnucas.....Yestenlay Joseph COMM, one o f the 6 swell mob,' was charged before Mr. &spent Saks and Mr. Rogers, with rebbing John Whale of his watch and its appendages, a gold chain and two gold seals. The prosecutor, who is advanced in years, and quite enfeebled, stated that be is servant to Mlas Hall, of Lamb's Conduit-street. On Muss day afternoon, between four and five o'clock, he was walking along Lamb's Conduit-street, when three -respectably dressed young Inn, one of whom was the prisoner, accosted him, and two of them taking hold of him gently by the arms, walked on each side of him. The prisoner walked before them. SumosWg the party to be respectable, and persuaded that they had no object in view than merely to have a lark with him, and to support him as he toddled along with un. steady steps, be enjoyed their company, and felt much obliged to them, until they cams to his mistress's door, but there the scene changed, for the three immediately surrounded him and hold-I ing him tightly by the arms, robbed him of his watch, and were about to rille his pockets, which contained a quantity of gold ; but befog I alarmed at his cries, and the resistance he made, they ran of He pur sued however, as well as be could, Japer& passe', crying out "stop " and the prisoner was stopped and secured in Theobald's reed, bah his companions effected their escape. The watch, a silver one, to which were appended a gold chain,. and two gold seals, was lost. William Porteous, pollee constable, No. 77, E division, stated that be saw the prisoner and two others, in company of the prosecutor. as he passed along Lamb's Conduit-street, but as they appeared to be quite familiar, and making themselves exceedingly merry with each other, be concluded that they were friends, and took no further notice of them. They attracted, however, the observation of every person that passed them, who all thought that the old man was in. toxicated. In a few minutes afterwards, h ear i ng t h e cry of " Stop thief," he saw the prisoner and his two companions run along Lamb's Conduit street, with the prosecutor after them, and he pursued them into Theobald's road, where he seised two of them, the prisoner and another ; but they having made • desperate resistance and the pri soner having struck him on the breast, h e was obliged, in order to secure the prisoner, to let the other go. The prisoner bad previously passed something, which witness believed to be the watch, out of his hand to one of his associates. One of the officers belonging to this establishment informed the Ma. gistrates that this was a species of robbery formerly denominated in slang phrase, " Picking up the toddlers." It had been dropped for some time, but was lately resumed by the " swell mob." Several of the officers recognised the prisoner. The prisoner, in his defence, denied the charge, and all knowledge of, or connexion with, the persons who had robb e d the prosecutor. He er waszeing along Lamb's Conduit.street on business at th e t i me , and the cry of " Stop thief," he ran, with many others, when the policeman secured him. The Magistrates ordered him to be remanded for further examination. Robert St. John, owner and driver of a Paddington stage-coach, was fined 51. for furious driving on the 11th instant. Ustros-lisal..—Mrs. Susan Spotting, keeps a shop for the retail of beer under the new Aet ; and a few nights ago the informer proved that he went there five minutes before twelve o'clock, and was served with a pint of ale, the defendant merely asking hi m w h et h er h e was a neigh. hour, and telling him in confidants that they were compelled to be careful, as the informers were about. The defendant said, that the man who now complained against her pune t o th e shop o n the night in question, and begged and prayed of her to let him have some ale, saying that he was a neighbour, and she laved him, and for her kindness, he had her " pulled up." Mr. Camera's said, that if the retail becr-sellers did not close their shops at ten o'clock, they were amenable to the new law as well es the licensed victuallers were to the act under which they had procured their licenses. It was necessary that the Homed victuallers should be pen. tested ; and if infcemen, or other persons, happened to sell spin et the defendant's shop for beer, it was easy for her to refer them to the neat pogo.honee, instead of serving them, and laying herself opbn to the M illed= of a heavy penalty. The defendant was then fined 40s. and costa. William Burdseye was summoned fee a similar offence. The Informer stated, that when he entered the defendant's shop, at a quarter before eleven at night, and had a pint of ale, that person dss him to be cautious of the informers, as th e y were a soot gentrLhe was given to understand were on the look.ont to entrap the train The per. son whom be addressed, cordially agreed with his sentiments en the sub. jest on the night he had the beer, and the Next day he mime and thrust a summons into his hand, for serving him with the & km Mr. Quinones observed, th at each c as e exhibited the sionaily tar the retail beer sellers to be on their guard. The use, behove, we dearly proved, and he bad no other alternative them to de as be had in done the preceding, to fine the defeadmat 111. sad meta. The next case was against Mr. Feather, who was proved to i l4 , served the informer with two pints of ale, the latter disguising h inheif so well as to induce a belief that he was a neighbour, and had been t•ent there at an unseasonable hour by an old lady named Wilson, hard by, who had a fit of the " gripes," and refused to tak e any tl for the complaint, except a pint of the defendant's treble X. ale, warmed'. with a little ginger in it. The ale was procured under this repress. don, and the defendant was of course "palled" by the wily infurnitt. and a penalty of 21, and costs. The Magistrate again strongly advised the defendants to be cau t i ous in future, and said that they were liable to a penalty of 21. for eVity pint of porter they sold after ten o'clock at night. Mr. Feather said that he should take the present opportunity of in. golfing whether he washable to have soldiers billeted upon him, fo r at the time the riot was apprehended in town, he had a serjesnt and fout men of the Artillery billeted in his house. The Magistrates referred to the Act, and found that the retail beer. sellers were to receive billets as well as licensed victuallers. SCINTILLX. LAST •MOMENTS OY ScitlLLElL—Feeling that his end was come, he addressed himself to meet this stern and sudden c a ll became him; not with affected carelessness or superstitious fur. I, ut with a quiet, unpretending manliness which had marked the tenor of lit% life. Of his friends and family he took a touching but a tranquil f at . well : be ordered that his funeral should be private, without po m p w parade. Some one inquiring how he felt, he said " Calmer and calmer ;•• simple and memorable words, expressive of the mild heroism et the man. About six he sunk again into a sleep, which deepened an d deepened till it changed into the sleep from which there is no awak en i ng ; and all that remained of Schiller was a lifeless form, goon to be mi ng le d with the clods of the valley. Schiller 's age was vi years and a few months. Sickness had long wasted his form, which at no time could boast of faultless symmetry. He was tall and strongly boned, but nnmuscular and lean : his body, it might be perceived, r ef wasting under the energy of a spirit too keen for it. His face was p a i r ; the cheeks and temples rather hollow • the chin somewhat deep an d slightly projecting ; the nose was regularly aquiline; his hair inclined to auburn. Withal, his countenance was attractive, and had a certain manly beauty. The lips were curved together in a line expressing delicate and honest sensibility; a silent enthusiasm, impetuosity not unchecked by melancholy, gleamed in his softly kindled eyes and pale cheeks, and the brow was high and thoughtful. To judge from his portrait, Schiller's face expressed well the features of his mind ; it tempering strength—fiery ardour shining through the clouds wee suffering and disappointment, deep but patiently endured.

In his dress and manner, as in all dal." h, was plain and unaffected. Among strangers, something shy and Leg might occasionally be observed in him: in his own family, or among his select friends, he was kind-hearted, free, and gay as a 1:31., child. In public, his external appearance had nothing in it to strike or attract. Of an unpresuming aspect, wearing plain apparel, his looks a. he walked were constantly bent on the ground so that frequently, la we are told, " he failed to notice the salutation of a passing acquaint ance • but if he heard it, he would catch hastily at his hat, and giv e hi. cordial Osten tag !" Modesty, simplicity, a total want of all parade ut affectation, were conspicuous in him. These are the usual concomitant, of true greatness, and serve to mitigate its splendour. Common thii,gs he did as a common man : his conduct in such matters was unealculated, spontaneous, and therefore natural and pleasing.... ... During his last 15 years, he wrote his noblest works ; yet, as it has been proved te..) well, no day of that period could have passed without its load of pain._ Oa a surgical inspection of his body after death, the mot vital organ were found totally deranged. " The structure of the lungs was in great part destroyed, she cavities of the heart were nei.rly grown up, the liver bad become hard, and the gall-bladder was extended to an extra. ordinary site." GENERAL BOURMONT AT LE Maws, IN 1800.—This General, who bad never commanded a division in the Royal army, en. tered Le Mans with about 2,00(1 men. "It is impossible," says an eye-witness, " to compare the conduct of these troops, in this unhappy town, to any thing save the conduct of the Tartars of Gengis Khan. They broke open the public prisons, and wretches, condemned to death, recovered their liberty. All the public coffers were pillaged, and many private ones; the plunder in money and effects was valued at 953,000 francs. The post-office was destroyed ; the papers and registers of the administration were burned; but what Is an irreparable loss, 00 volumes in folio, containing the history of Le Mans from 1481, also perished in tiu. flames, and what can never be brought to mind without the deepest feeling of horror, several soldiers of the 40th demi-brigade were ins.. sacred in their beds.

HAPPINESS " the gay to-morrow of the mind" is ensured by marriage; " the strictest tie of perpetual friend skip," is a gift from Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by which, says Johnson, " we approach in some degree of association with celestial intelligence." Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of marriage, It becomes an impressive duty, net only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those Impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such atteudoo,are attributable many of those hapless instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the beholder, dwelt also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effeminise the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the pre. mature infatuation of youth, too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agouised Hatted more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such then, we sante ourselves, offerlog hope--energy—muscular strength—felicity; ua will our advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of twenty years' successful experience. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the um pension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath--fot the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be streogth• . coed. sod deficient energy Improved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relesetks of the generative economy, we pledge oar ability to cure speethd!. and with effect.
