Lord HOLLAND entertained a select party of friends to dinner yesterday. in Old Burlington-street. The Earl of Hannixorom gave agrand dinner yesterday to General Goßnott, Colonel and Lady F. ‘`..r.tNIIOPE, COI. C. HILL, Colonel SHAW, &C. at his house in the Stable-yard, St. James's. Friday evening M. Wat.sn, the King's Messenger, left town, with dispatches for Vienna. On Christmas-eve there were no less than four Messengers arrived in town; they Xll came to Eng land in the same vessel, from Calais. One of them was a Spanish courier, with dispatches from Sir Wtsstast A'Contr, at Madrid. Ile travelled with all speed possible. Ills dispatches were received by Mr. Pt ANT.t, the Ender Secretary of State, and for warded by him to Mr. CANNING, at Gloucester Lodge, who sent their contents to his NIAJESTY, at Brighton, by a King's Messenger. The other Messengers were Mr. WILLIAMS and Mr. Pror.sn, from Verona and Paris, and a Prussian courier. The CIIANCELLOR of the EECREQUER left town on Friday evening. TLe Canal between Carlisle and the Solway Frith is now navigable about half its length. On Christ mas-day, the hlenai, Captain TIIONIAS GEDDES, be longing to the Old Shipping Company , came up to Dil:efielcl to discharge her cargo. The fineness of the day, and the novelty of the scene, attracted a number of spectators from the neighbouring villages. A Sermon was lately preached at the Parish Church of St. Anne's, Soho, by the Rev. IL G. WHITE, M.A. for the benefit of the Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear. It appears, that since the establishment of the Charity, in 1816, upwards of 3750 patients, anlictesl with deafness and other diseases of the ear, have been received, the greater number of whom have been cured or relieved; to which may be added several cases of deaf and dumb, in which much ef fective aid has been administered. It must be grati fying to know, that the benevolent views of the Cha rity are no; confined•to the inhabitants of the metro polis, but extends its aid to every individual ; and in those unfortunate instances which do not admit of professional assistance, acoustic instruments are gra tuitously supplied. Hype PA RlC.—YesterclAT, the sole object of at traction was the Serpentine River ; the usual carriage lounge and equestrian ride were entirely deserted, but. the assemblage on the banks of the Serpentine made ample amends for the desertion of other parts ; as early as two o'clock, that side on which is the car riage ride began to fill with splendid equipages, and about three rt was completely thronged. The pedes trians on the opposite side were numerous beyond all erampk on similar occasions, and never did the ele gance and beauty of our fair countrywomen appear to more advantage on so severe a day; the north east wind was intensely cold, and various were the preparations made to counteract it. Among the Ladies, cloth pelisses, of all colours, literally grown over with fur, were in general use; and with the Gen tlemen, blue cloaks were in much requisition ; and a sprinkling of plaid (chiefly tartan) worn by both sexes. Ainong the male pedestrians we noticed Lord gni.. Mr. Hume, Alderman %VooD, and several fattier Msni!iers 4 the Lo sber House. skaiters ware by much too numerou's to allow Of y display of skills the whole surface of the river, esswed such a mass, that only here and there en , dd be seen the movement of a skaiter. The es i.e. ; confined themselves entirely to the South East end, and kft the other to the awkward squad of sli.!ers and Cockney skaiters, the tumbling among whom was really ludicrous. The Canal, in St. James's, and the Basin, in the Green Park, were also uurperously attended by NATAL INTELLIGENCE: . ' - The sloop Mercury, of Kirkcudbright, Wituast Brno muter, which sailed from Liverpool for her native port, on the day of the recent tremendous gale, struck on Preston banks, when the vessel went to pieces, and all on board perished. FALMOUTH, DEC. Wind S. E.—Arrived the Barbara, Lownv, from Pictou in 33 days, for Newcastle; the Barbarities, of London, 11RNLELt. , for this port,. for ordgrs ; and Castalia, WAHLAOIC, for London, sailed in company with the Barbara, Pictou : the Nile, of Shields, Swaim, for Hull ; and En terprize, Hansen; for Liverpool, were to sail the next week : the Unity, from Cette, in 43 drys; Merope, from St. Andrew's (N. 13.), in ,18 days. PORTSMOUTH, Doc . 28.—1 t is expected that the B RITON fri gate, Sir HURRAY AlAxwat.t.,. Km. and C. B. will take out Ge neral Sir LOW R Y Cots, KCAL Governor and Commander-in- Chief of the Island of Alauritius, his family, and suite.— Lord AMHERST and suite will embark in the JUPITER, 60, Captain WESTPUAI.L, at Plymouth, at the latter end of January, for the purpose of proceeding to Calcutta, and succeeding to the im portant office of Governor-General of our Indian possessions.— Thursday the SHAMROCK, Captain AlAarm WHITE, went out of harbour, and sailed for the coast of Ir e land, to recommence that survey. This is the only movement among the shipping here this week ; the wind continuing throughout strong from the N.E PtratouTll, Dec. 28.—Wind S.S. E.—A rrived the sloop of war Pranona, from Lisbon and Newfoundland; and the sloop of war SHAM nogg, from a cruize. Sailed his Majesty's ship RANGER, '2O guns, and Psonacit schooner, for the West Indies. Alaucrec ' lira. 20.—The Ordnance sloop Lord Townsend, from Dover for Woolwich, got on shore last evening int Foreign Rock, where she still lies. Sundry articles have been brought up from her in a most damaged state. Endeavours are using, with assistance from hence, to stop her and get her off, but the wind having•come on to blow strong, we fear that there is not much prospect of it at present. DLit, Dec. E.S.E.—Came down from the River last night, and. sailed, the Matilda, COLLINS, for the cape of Good Hope ; Asoph, for Rio Jiueiro; Fredesmende, for Lisbon ; also, to-day, the Duke of Manchester, for. Jamaica. Several casks of oil, of about twenty-two gallons each, have been picked up on Dungeness brach yesterday morning : about forty have been saved.

PEDITION. irnois Tthritvaitioi poi, MORD or LITIERATURE, • • I It is interesting to ruminate on what is passing in various parts of the world .at the same moment.-.._. While some of the inhabitants of earth are enjoying the. warmth of a meridian sun,:others are ploughing the trackless deep in the obscurity of midnight: some ; are at their morning avocations, some at their noon tide meal, some enjoying the evening breeze, others renew ing their strength and vigour in the repose of night ; and all at the same instant of time. While thus . mentally running through the siniul- ' taneous employments of men of all hues and climes at this particular season, it is difficult to avoid being repeatedly and powerfully drawn to take a view of that little band of heroes who are braving Winter on his very throne, ba s ed a s i t is by a vast platform of eternal ice, carpeted with everlasting snow. The first northern expedition of Captain PARRY and his gallant companions, was a wonderful proof of the bold disposition of human nature: a handful of men devoted themselves for fame to the dangers of an untried part of the globe. What assurance had they that the secret of the pole was not guarded by PnoviDE ce—that phcenomena unknown before might not forbid man to approach that point of the sphere and live? that the intensity of the frost would not search out the imperceptible moisture in the very timbers of .their. vessels, and rive them into shreds? that the human body would not congeal to its vitals in spite of all the protection they could afford it? In short, that cold would not be found to possess, in its strength, some quality capable of frustrating all their calculations, and destroying themselves in a few hours? Happily they proved that it was possible for man to live amidst the utmost rigour of the polar December ; and the friends of those who are now en gaged in the second expedition have scarcely any ap prehensions on their account. What a contrast between their situation and ours! We can change the scene of hilarity, wile away the time at festive boards, where new faces, and warmth, and the jocundity of the holiday season, attune us to mirth and gladness ; while they are confined to two solitary bulkheads on which the light of the sun will not strike for months yet to come, separated from every other thing that has life by leagues of solid ice; where any change of society is impossible, ignorant of what is passing in the inhabited world, and en vironed by a degree of external cold to which, though I shiver as I write, the inclemency of cur present weather is as a sudden sultry summer day would be to us, and in which even the brutes'of the region cannot abide. And yet there is something snug too in their con dition. They ate -well housed in, and have no press ing cares. It is much to be regretted that the genii of old, wlao used so obligingly.to whisk the venturous any distance, however great, in the twinkling of an eye, have ceased their correspondence with the visible world ; had they not, the curious inquirer would have a chance of suddenly visiting the hardy recluses.— Heavens ! with what indescribable interest should we not burst in amongst the sole inhabitants of the polar region ! With what delight should we not witness tl.e eagerness attendant on the reading a new No. of the North Georgia Gazette, or see the rough sons of Neptune dancing the ludicrous merry-go-round, so judicia*usly established by their able Commander for pastime and exercise; or hear the hearty laugh at the topical joke—but then to be amidst the bustle of preparation for the play, to watch the tiptoe expecta•• Lion of that ecstatic amusement, and lastly to be pre sent at the representation itself—attended by the Muses in ruddy health and vigour, though so far from home, and in a climate so unlike their own—to see the grim scenic Walrus hemmed in by his as sailants, who press him, as his canvass sides pant in shorter and quicker heaves, until one tremendous groan proclaims him dead—to view the mimic ship making her gallant way through the floes and ice bergs—and to hear the shout with which her final emancipation is greeted I—Spirit of Fortunatus— where is the once tamed cap? Oh! breathe thou gently old Winter on these daunt less sons of a land which acknowledges thy dominion. It is curious to remark to what an extent circum stances affect the relative values of things. The merest clod pate, who had but sense to listen to what was going forward here, and a tongue to tell it there, would be a demigod among them for a few hours.— Last night's play-bill, a newspaper of a month old, or even an auctioneer's particular of sale—here waste paper, would there be conned and spelt over even to the very printer's name, and rival any single sheet in the Bindley collection. A complete Fite of the Morning Post would be more highly valued than all the Cyclopedias that ever were published; the last new Farce would press Shakspeare hard ; and the last London Gazette would excite an interest nearly as powerful as that which announced the victory of Waterloo did when wet from the press. Alas! and have we in this age of improvement, no invention by means of which we could impart a little information to the temporary prisoners? We cannot help admiring the stern resolution which could calmly place itself in such a situation. What an awful void must be felt when the sun has shewn his face above the horizon for the last time for the season! What a struggle, in a mind susceptible of high excitement, to suppress the feeling of forlorn despair ! And how necessary the recollection that time will .on, that the sun will certainly rise again, and that the object of so much peril and deprivation will probably be accomplished ! If those who study to pass their lives in a state of uniform quietness seldom have occasion to cope with any great degree of unhappiness or discomfort, on the other hand, they rarely taste the dashes of su preme felicity enjoyed by the nobly dating in a good cause.' Can there be any doubt that the re-appear. ance of the blessed orb of day, after leaving oar ad venturers for so many months in gloomy twilight, amply compensates them for his absence? or that the unutterable joy oflseing welcomed home by their delighted friends, repays them for all other ti ises? - May they experience the bliss of again setting foot on their native shori—and may their gratifica tion be heightened by complete success, and the as surance that, during the Christmas of 1t1‘22, one of the most frequent and heartfelt toasts at all the social meetings of their fellow-country men was-I ' 4e health of .

P Mul lin, has undertaken to walk 100 'Miles in 24 successive hours.— Ile is to start to-morrow, at one o'clock, in the Swifts, and to finish at one on Wednesday.—He has done the same thing near Hexham, amidst theyleudits of an astonished multitude. This morning, between five and six o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in a coffee-ho Use in the Lon don Road, kept by a person of the name of A NDER-. SON. The flames were so rapid, that although the fire-engines were early in attendance, and a good supply of water was readily obtained, yet the whole interior of the house was destroyed befbre thefire could be subdued. The house, it is said, was insured. Another fire happened rather earlier this morning at a slop-sellers, the corner of Cooper's•court, East Smithfield ; the house, with she stock in trade, were totally consumed.. Thursday morning an alarm of fire was given in Mr. GLASS'S dye Works in Finnieston. The Glasgow engines proceeded promptly thereto, and the fire was extinguished a short time after their arrival. James Burtnay, condemned for rape, at the High Court of Justiciary, was executed at Ayr, en Friday se'rinight. Immediately after the unfortunate man was turned off, a fellow was apprehended, picking pockets. CIIELNISFORD, Dec. 27.—Wednesday morning, Mr. Cawkwell received a reprieve for Benjamin Cooper, the young man who robbed Mrs. Stock, of Masted, and who had, hut for this extension of the royal mercy, been executed this day. The two per sons apprehended on the information of Cooper, as being concerned in the robbery, when before the Magistrates on Tuesday last, proved an alibi, and have been discharged. The father of Cooper has, however,• been committed for trial, charged with being an accessary after the robbery. DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—Tuesday morning, John Bolt, aged 21, groom to W. A. H. ARUNDEL, Esq. of Castle Park, near Oakhampton, was committed to the Devon County Jail, for at. tempting to murder Jane Jusland, a norsery-maid in the same family. •On the preceding Sunday after noon she left the house to go to Church, and Bolt who had for some time been endeavouring, though unsuccessfully, to gain her affections, followed her through the fields for the purpose of making a fur ther declaration of his passion. On approaching the Church, they found they were too late, and returned home. Shortly after, Bolt desired the housemaid to, send Jusland to him in his bed.room,where she went, accompanied by the butler, being afraid to go alone. The latter soon after, at the request of Bolt, retired, and had left but a short time before he was alarmed by the cries of the girl ; he returned immediately .to the room, and, at the moment of entering, saw the groom fire a pistol at her, which, it appears, he had taken from under the bed-clothes, and her light eye was blown out of her head, and part of the charge lodged in the right side of her neck. Three of her fingers were also so dreadfully shattered as to render amputation necessary. Every possible attention has been paid to the unfortunate sufferer, who still conti tinues in a most dangerous state. PAGING A SERMON.—NIr.-- being lately on a visit in a certain country village, was told by his friend, who knew that he la as a great admirer of Sermons, that he would have a rich ti eat on Sunday, as their Rector was allowed by all to be xn excellent preacher. • Mr. attended, and sat close to the pulpit. The Rei. Gentleman had not held forth many minutes, before Mr. began to page him at intervals, as thus—"Barrow"—" Clarke"— " Tillotson"—" Blair"—and so on, which he did in so audible a tone, that the Clergyman, nettled at these comments, at length leant over, and, in an under tone, observed " - You are a very impertinent fellow."— " That's your own !'. said Mr. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK - LANE, DEC. 50. _ _ Last week's supplies of Grain were middling, and this Morn ing there are not many additional arrivals. The continuance of the severe frosty weather occasions the business of the Corn Market to be nearly suspended for the present; what f e w sa l es of Wheat have been made, have rather exceeded the terms of this day se'nnight. Barley has no variation. More money is asked for Beans, Peas, and Oats. At present our buyers will not comply with higher prices, in consequence of which there have been but few sales.
