FACTS AND FANCIES. ROYAL OPPOSITIONS.—The KING OF BAVARIA is reported to have lately said, " They would be much' astonished in France if they knew that it is I who form the opposition in my kingdom." We know not what our continental neighbours, who may hitherto have been deluded into a belief of the resistless supremacy of the Military Chief of Downing-street, would think of an opposition so formed in this country ; but this we know, that there are few, very few indeed, of the people of England, who would be " much asto nished" to see their own beloved Monarch, with that patriotic attachment to his native land, and that paternal solicitude for the happiness of his subjects which are the most cherished feelings of his benevolent nature, de cidedly, aye and publicly, opposed to the rash and unconstitutional projects by which his present Ministers have reduced the country to the most calamitous con dition, and even now menace her national charac ter, her glory, and her influence, with extinction. TILE New POLICE.—A few days since, one of " the poor men with coarse blue coats, and oil-skin capes—as an Evening Contemporary most contumeliously designated the " Officers of the New Police"—was apprehended on a charge of forgery, and, in military parlance, " handed over to the civil power" to be dealt with according to law. But " they are all, all honourable men !"—We have heard much of late, of the activity displayed by Mr. THOMAS, Superintendent of the Covent Garden district, in taking into custody a number of young females who, being seen walking along the streets at late hours, were apprehended, not for any offence they were then committing, but on suspicion of the offences they might intend to commit. Without questioning the purity of the motives which induced the vigilant Superin tendent to assume such a responsibility where the liberty of the subject was concerned, it is very much to be de plored that equal zeal was not manifested in the case of the poor creature, who, on being brought to Bow-street on Friday last, declared that she had not slept in a bed for six weeks—And of course had wandered about the streets—where she at length attracted the notice of a constable, under circumstances quite as suspicious as those which required Mr. Timm As's interference. It is lamentable to observe, with what little respect or com miseration the humane orders of Sir RICHARD BIRNIR were attended to by the Parish Officers, to whose care he referred the unfortunate woman ; who, it appears, was " one of the bread and cheese poor of St. Giles's." THE BOAST OF MORTALITY. To joy in the splendor and pride of a Crown. To hue myriads of flatterers crouched round a throne. Then lie la the drat., damp, vault—alone— And this is the boast of Mortality ! To feel the heart bound at the trumpet's breath, To exult in the bloom of the victor-wreath, Then fall—subdued by the shaft of Death, — And this is the bout of Mortality ! To live in the hum of a babbling crowd, To hear their coarse praises shouted loud, Then fade, forgot, in the 'mouldering shroud, — And this is the boast of Mortality ! To bask in the lustre of Beauty's eye. To breathe back the breath of Beauty's sigh, And then—in the worm's embrace to lie. — And this is the boast of Mortality ! To string the loved harp to joy oe woe, To be glad in the fame that its strains bestow, Then make it Death's cold, silent pillow, below— And this is the boast of Mortality ! Dy the midnight lamp In abstraction to pore O'er the Chronicler's legend, the Sep's lore, And then In the grave to be learned no more, — And this b the boast of Mortality ! Private letters, from Lisbon, of the 18th November, state that the paper currency is still going down ; and for three days past has been at 29. Unfavourable news has been received by the Government from Madeira, St. Michael's, and Terceira, which causes great fear that the two former Islands will make a common cause with that a the third Island. Serious measures are going to be taken : two new Governors are going to be sent ; but they will arrive too late. • Two hundred ships sailed from Crownstadt for different parts, when the ice was beginning to block up that port. Lord F. lately solicited a Consulship from his Majesty for his old associate Brummel, at the same time express ing Brummel's great regret for some former indiscretions, which had lowered him in his Majesty's favour when Prince of Wales, but which he hoped would now be over looked ; " Yes," said his Majesty, " but the situation is not worrh more than three or foul hundred a-year, and he, perhaps, will not accept it." Lord F. assured his Majesty that such an addition to Brummel's income would be of great importance. " Well, then," said the King, " tell the Duke of Wellington that Brummel is an old friend of mine, and I wish him to have it." Wednesday week the Duke of BucK ISO A3l arrived at Stowe, after an absence of more than two years spent on the Continent. On his entering the town of Buck ingham, cannons were fired, and the bells rang merrily. His Grace's carriage was drawn to Stowe by a large party, who could not be diverted from their purpose, and rent the air with their acclamations. Monday the Cor poration of Buckingham waited on his Grace with an address of congratulation on his return in perfect health to the seat of his ancestors. DUEL.—Thursday last, a rencontre took place on Kelso race-ground, between Mr. Pringle, son to Sir John Pringle, of Stitchel, and Captain Noel, both offi cers in the 92d Regiment, in which the former was se • verely wounded. Captain Noel had sinec been appre hended, and, along with his second, lodged in the Jed burgh jail. We have learnt nothing of the cause of dispute. Rio Parton,. Lake Tampico. 1 .

It appears from the brokers' statements, that the im port of cotton into Liverpool, from the lst of January to the 30th of November, amounted to 623,333 bags, against 589,278 during the correspondent period of the last year. The sales, from the commencement of Janu ary to the end of November, reached 691,630 bags. The stock, on the 30th of November, was estimated at 214,200 bags ; in 1828, it was estimated at 299,900. The operations during the preceding week have been insignificant, compared with their extent during the month of November. The sales amounted to 8,450 bags only, at a fall of id. per lb. in Maranhams, and a rise of a halfpenny to a penny in Sea Islands. Saturday the demand was very dull, the sales not ex ceeding 1000 bags at the previous currency. The ar rivals from foreign parts, owing to a change of wind, were numerous on Saturday, and were likely to be still more numo•ous on Sunday, if the wind should continue in the south-west.

An authentic contradiction has been given to the state ment, that it is a Presbyterian Clergyman, resident tutor in Lord Moustcashers family, who writes the letters in his Lordship's name, in reply to the Bishop of Ferns. It appears they are, ipso facto, Lord Mountcashers pro duction. Lord GODERICII proposed a Finance Committee, dis claiming at the same time any merit of his own from the proposition, and stating that if Mr. CAN N INO had lived, he meant to have submitted the whole financial consideration of the country to Parliament. This Finance Committee was adopted by the House of Commons, and they sat during the whole Sessions of the year 1828 ; but their recommendations were generally slighted by _ . the Government. They proposed the abolition of the office of Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance, and this was done after a very long examination of the Duke of WELLINGTON himself ; but the pro posal was rejected by the Government, and the real ob ject of the Committee defeated. Indeed, so inconve 'lent was this Committee deemed by the Government, t hat the Chancellor of the Exchequer had the grace, at he opening of the last Session of Parliament, not to re vive it. We do not revert without pain to these topics, because there is something humiliating in finding a Go vernment not sympathising with the wants of the people; but yet the cause is the same—every man's industry (out of the privileged classes) is affected by too heavy an im post. This is the case in manufactures, as well as in land ; and it requires a degree of reform which we can hardly ex pe ct from the Legislature, as at present consti tuted. The people, speaking of them as a body, are not sufficiently represented in Parliament. The privileged classes are, and they use power in their own way. We do not mean to blame them for these faults, for they are almost inseparable from human nature ; but we must again and again say, that the - loud voice of the suffering public does not find, as it ought, a sufficient echo from the walls of St. Stephen's Chapel.—Cheltenham Journal. Wednesday last, a public meeting was held at the Plough Hotel, Cheltenham, to take into consideration the price of provisions. This subject, as may be seen from the metropolitan and provincial papers, has lately excited the utmost attention ; indeed it is an object of considerable importance, particularly in these times, when distress and absolute want prevails from one end of the kingdom to the other. We are not among those Who feel pleased in chiming-in with the common but too often erroneous cry of popular distress, or individual monopoly ; we always wish to hear both sides of the qeestion fairly stated, and in this view we are sorry to see the meeting terminate so unsatisfactorily for all par ties ; for the reductionists, in not having collected sufficient evidence of the comparative price of pro visions in the town and neighbourhood —and for the anti-reductionists, by not giving an explanatory state ment of their transactions and prices with the farmers. Every trade has indubitably a right to a fair profit : some butchers are now selling the best meat considerably lower than others, and the farmers universally complain of not receiving any thing like an adequate remunerating price for their stock. The business terminated by select ing a committee from both parties, to meet ok a future day, and it is hoped something satisfactory may arise hetefrom.—Cheltenliant Journal POSITION OF THE SPANISH AND MEXICAN FORCES, SEPTEMUR 7 1829.

The precise amount of pension for permanent disabilities after 14 years service, shall be regulated at the discretion of the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, according to the time the soldiers may have served ; the climate in which be may have been serving ; the degree of the disability as affecting his means of earning a livelihood; and his good conduct whilst serving; but nn pension shall he granted on account of dis ability, if it has been occa , ioned by vice, intemperance, or misconduct. +7ll CLAS4.-.-DISAISILITUIS MOM MUSSEI:4 TIMIS ' SIMMS. it.

Cusenssera.—A piece of rare antiquity was lately foUnd at Menton, near this city, and is now in the possession of Mr. Chas. Biffin, Eastgate. A correspondent bas kindly favoured us with the following remarks upon dais curious specimen. The ancients had two kinds of Diptychs, or registers, in one of which were inscribed the names of Consuls and other Magi es, among the heathens; in the other, were inscribed the names of Bishops, Priests, and Brethren, as well living as deceased, among the Chris tians. Tne former are known in antiquity as Profane Dyptychs, the latter are distinguished as Sacred, and were peculiar to the Greek Church. Commonly, however, they comained only the names of such eminent Bishops. Saint,, and 31 irtyrs, as were particularly commemorated its the public service of the Church ; and they were called Diptychs (from the Greek weed Diptukol,) from their being doubled ur folded. The present little brass case, or book, belongs to this I Ater description of Dyptych. It would seem to have been intended for the private use and de votion of the individual to whom it belonged, anal to have served as a memorial of the birth and Pas-ion of our SAVIOCE., as well as a register of some particular Saints. (hi the outside of the left hand leaf is a cross with the lance, un one side, and the sponge at the end of a reed ou the other, standing between an old Greek Monogram. which is a contraction for Iron Kristen (Jesus Christ.) There are also none other Greek letters scattered over this side, but they are too arbitary in their contractions to be easily deciphered. On the inside of the same left-hated leaf is a rept— sentation of the Virgin and Ch Id. In the left-hand corner, near he head of the Virgin, is a Monogram of losr name, being a con traction for Meter Tbeou (Mother of God,) and in the opposite corner, is a repetition of the Monogram of the name of our Saviour lesos Kristos. Below, on the right and left, are two figures kneel ing in the attitude of devotion to chow above, and over each bead is a contracted inscription which cannot he deciphered. The re maining right-hand leaf contains three ken., with their names, or monograms inscribed above them. That on the left of the leaf is our Saviour, that wt the right, is the Virgin ; and between them is St Nicholas in the act of benediction, holding a book in his left hand. The St. Nicholas here represented ((or there were four Saints of that name) mu.t have been St. Nicholas, Archbishop hl Myra, who died i. 6 the year 342, and was buried in his ow,, Ca• thedral. His memory was always held in great veneration by the Greek Christians, and no less than four Churches in Con.stata tinople were dedicated in his name. Ito the above attempt to convey the Gres k words into English, we have been unable to ex press the lung " E," from the want ot any such letter in our A!• phase'. The farmers in the country ietnd Horsham have great aversion to fox-hunting in their district, cud 1k t without reason ; for it too often happens that many of the field, in the ardour of pursuit, it being an enclosed country, to avoid riding a short distance round. cross the young wheats, and thereby inflict a serious loss on the grower, far beyond what the depredations of a thizeii foxes could effect. To counteract this evil as midi as lies in their power, premiums are given to the labourers who succeed in discovering the lurking places of the foxes. This is uscatly =Toml hshed in the farm ing manner : a tall of snon over-night, throe or four hardy fettling set out at the earliest dawn, and, if a fox is in their eeip,llLourhood, his track is easily known by the marks of his round clitlby foot, and his course being followed it is generally found to lead into a small wood, copse, or furze field ; they then r proceed catefully mend the spot, and, finding no track leading out, they, of course, me pretty certain that Le there concealed. Ininitdiate notice is given to the far mers, who surround the cove n , and, with loaded guns, await the egress of Reyna:d, who, on tie dogs Leing scut in, quickly makes his appearance, when a vollev front those near him generally brings him to the ground. Some timeshe escapes the first fire, and is regulailv hunted fret.. cover to cover, until a mote lucky shot ends tie sport of the day. Not one in ten escapes.—Br;ghion livraid. Friday morning, between the hours of one and four, the Swan hotel, in I ligh.street, was broken into, and property ru a coneklerabk amount was stolen therefrom. It appears that the thieves, in the first instance, effected an entrance :1 the back of the presiders, by getting over a itety wall which separates the stable. yard from the Swan, which enabled them to let in any companion through a door which fastened inddr. The gang then proceeded through the coffee room to the bur, from which they cad' eon+ derable property. The property in the travellers' room was not toothed, which is attributed to their being disturbed by the earls riming of some of the servants. The contents -of the drawee its the bar were entirely turned over, and every thing of value to►en away.— s 1 I I
