An extraordinary number of wolves had this win ter infested the northern parts of Sweden. Many children had been, at different places, the victims of . these carnivorous animals. His MAJESTY has transmitted to the Norwegian Diet an Expose of the situation of the Kingdom since . 1818. It announces, that on the Ist of September, 1819, a Convention had been concluded with Den , t a nk, which fixes the quota which Norway is to bear is the Danish Norwegian Debt ; and that a Treaty of Commerce and Amity had also been formed with the United States of America. ITte state of fermentation in which Madrid was left . 9e t he 94 instant, by the Speech of the KING and the removal of the Ministers, makes the arrival of subse quent accounts to be looked for with much anxiety. One of the minor Journals of Paris adds, to the ac counts which we extracted yesterday from the other Papers, that after the •Tinto's return from the Cortes, mobs assembled in various quarters of the capital; shouts, hissing, and the most brutal exclamations, were re-echoed round the Royal Palace: but while certain Sinister characters endeavoured to foment the commo tion, and to exasperate and urge the populace to the commission of ci ime, it was consoling to think that all that Madrid contains of g enerous citizens, penetrated with attachment to their Sovereign and their country. formed a vigilant and faithful troop, whose numbers. so multiplied, that they were found in all quarters • Where agitation assumed the most dating character; and that Madrid would, perhaps, owe to the energy of these worthy citizens the salvation of iti KING, and Spain the preservation of the honour which she has in other times acquired by her heroic fidelity." • A letter from Jacquemel of the 12th December, 'states, that President BOYER had found at the Cape upwards of thirty millions of dollars left by CHRIS.

Lord CASTLEREAOH did nor attend his Parliamen tary duties last night. The Noble Lord was absent in consequence of indisposition. Mr. WESTERN there fore postponed his motion for the repeal of the ad ditional Malt Tax to Wednesday, the 21st instant ; and Mr. CURWFN his motion for the repeal of the Agricultural Horse Tax, to the 26th instant. It is understood that Mr. TIEIOEY, on account of his ill state of health, has announced his intention of resign ing his office of Leader of the Odposition. Yesterday Mr. S.

The lamented death of the Princess Eraz',ern( gave an effectual check to our fashionable hilarities last week. The Ktsia saw no company, and the only Palace arrival for some days was that of Count Mun s`rEtt, on Thursday, who again left for London on Sunday. His MAJESTY will return to Carlton Palace to wards the close of the present, or early in the week ensuing. We have the pleasure to add, that his MA JESTY cotinues in the enjoyment of most excellent health. WEYMOUTH, MARCH 10. We have been honoured with several fashionable arrivals in the course of the week, particularly the Right Honourable Earl DIOBY. The Noble Earl came on a visit to WILLIAM MOFFAT MILLS, Esq. on the Belvidere. On Thursday that Gentleman gave a Grand Dinner to a party of Gentlemen of the Farqultarioa Hunt, previous to his Lordship's depar ture yesterday for Sherborne Castle. Yesterday evening, Mrs. MuNoy, the Lady of E. M. MUNDY, Esq. M.P. gave a mo-,; magnificent Ball and Supper, at their residence on the Royal-ter race, to Colonel MURRAY and the Officers of the 16th Lancers, and a large party of Nobility and Gentry. The staircases and Ball-room were most brilliantly illuminated with variegated lamps, and fitted,up in a very unique and splendid style, decked with wreaths of laurel, entwined with real and a►tificial flowers in abundance, the whole producing a most beautiful and enchanting effect. At nine o'clock, the company began to assemble, and were pOlitely received in the Ball-room, by the respectable and accomplished hostess and daughters, the Band of the 16th Lancers playing the national air of God save the King, and other inspiring tunes. Thp dancing commenced at ten o'clock, and enlivened the happy scene till half past twelve, when the party sat down to tables filled with every• luxurious delicacy that could charm the eye or gratify the taste. After supper, the•health of our gracious; Sovereign GEORGE IV. and many other toasts were drank, with such enthusiasm as Manifested the feeling of loyal attachment that pervaded this brilliant circle of rank, beauty, and fashion. The Ladies soon retired to the Ball-room, and the Gentlemen repaired thither without delay, and quad rilles and waltzes were renewed with encreased spirit, and continued till five in the morning, when the com pany separated, highly delighted with the pleasura ble enjoyment of the evening. The sum deposited by the QUEEN, on account of the purchase of Cambridge House, was six, not £15,000; and some difficulties have since arisen, which may probably prevent the agreement being completed. The University of Cambridge, as well as that of Oxford, have resolved to petition against the Catho lic Claims. The Dissenting Congregations of Brighton have unanimously agieed to petition Parliament t;gainst Mr. BROUGHAM s Education Bill. A Bill is now pending in the Commons to enable the Judges of the Court of King's Bench to sit before Term, and to empower the LORD CDANCELLOR to nominate any two Baions of the Exchequer to sit in the Chancery Court, while his Lordship a:tends ap peal cases in the Peers. _ _ _ By a recent legal dcoision, the Corporation of Cork have lost the right of taking a toll, which they have enjoyed ever since the reign of King Jot's, and which produced a revenue of £2,800 a-year. There has been a strong contest for the vacant Al dermanic Chair of the City of Norwich, between Mr. BOOTH and Mr. SHAW, which teas carried on with great spirit by both patties. At the conclusion of the poll, the former Gentleman was declared duly elected. . - Lord HENRY BENTINCK, the Duke of PORTL!IND'S youngest son, met with a perilous fall last week s‘ Ililst hunting with Lord SCARBOROUGHS Yorkshire Hounds. His Lordship, fortunately, sustained no material injury; but the horse, a favourite huntei of Mr. G. Foutimast's, was killed, having dislocated his neck. The whole of the Pagoda Bridge, in St. James's Park, is now pulled down, and most of the materials removed. Workmen are employed in forming a foundation for a very handsome iron bridge, which is cast expressly for it at Falkirk, and which is ex-. pected to arrive in town in a fortnight. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—La-t night, in conse quence of Miss WILSON'S indisposition (which was announced to the Public by posting-bills), Miss Povav undertook the part of Rosetta, in the Opera of Love in a Village, at a very short notice ; and it is but justice to say, that she acquitted herself ex tremely well. She sung BISHOP'S Echo Song in a manner that induced the audience to demand a re petition. Miss Comer performed Lucinda, aLo at a short notice, in a very effective manner. That famed Son of Song, BRAHAM,,was as great as ever, and sang with .liis usual power and science; he was encored in most of his songs, particularly Sweet among the waving Trees, which he executed in the most masterly manner. ' TllB HERMIT IN LONDON.- 7 ,This amusing Gentle man, who has lately exhibited himself with fresh honours as a " Hermit in Me Country," has at length made his re-appearance in the Metropolis, in the shape of a New Edition, revised and improved. Since the time of the Spectator, certainly no similar personage has excited so much attenti o n and curiosity. lie must have been a votary at once of gaiety and of letters—conversant with all the varieties of society, from its lowest to its most ex alted ranks--a trifler, and a,philosopher—a man of fashion, and a lover of the romantic.

The prisoner was secretary to the confederacy. A num ber of his accomplices were, as our Readers may re collect, found guilty at the last Assizes, on their own confession, and have been transported; among these was a young man, a son of Ferrimond's. The pri ' soner is fifty-seven years of age. The usual sentence of the law was passed on him by Mr. Justice BEST. It is gratifying to learn, that in Paisley trade has undergone a considerable improvement within the last-few weeks. Perhaps a more general and exten sive demand for such a variety of elegant and durable fabrics was never experienced. It is certain that more hands were never employed and engaged with so much industry in the , manufacturing of these goods. An additional increase of workmen is still required, and an uncommon viv4city is vimrywhere manifested. NAFAL INTELLIGENCE. II On the 14th Nov. the British brig Nymph, from London six weeks, bound to Port-au-Prince, with a full cargo of dry goods, was spoke by an hermaphrodite brig, showing no colours, who ordered the Cap; in on board with his Papers, and allowed her to proceed, after examination. At eleven, r. as. two boats fun of men rpwed alongside the brig, knocked the m.tn down who was at the helm, hove the brig to, allowed the crew only fifteen minutes to hoist out the long.boat, gave it to them, and set them adrift, without a farthing or anything, and a Lady (passznger), whom they sadly wanted to retain, but her en treaties overcame their barbarity, and she was allowed to go in the boat; and, as far as *thy) , could observe the boat, they fired muskets at her.'Tice next day the brig was seen standing to the West of Cape St. Nicholas :dole; the crew were taken out by a French ship, and brought to Port-au-Prince. _ 2_ The liigson, JOIIN/lON, from. Liverpool fur Buenos Ayres, struck on the Sand Banks off the Nlizen Head, on the 7th inst. and sunk. Crew and passengers saved. The Medea, VIDAL, front Bahia to Fayal, was taken on the 19th of June, of the Cape de Verds, by an Insutgent privateer. The Rose, TIION:PSIN, sailed from the Downs on the 15th of December, for St. Michael's, and had tint arrived or. the 23d ult.

A letter of the Ist inst. from Lisbon, says—" We had an arrival from Madeira yesterday morning, which created the greatest sensation here : no less than the Bishop of the Island, and several other per. sons of distinction, came prisoners on board an Ent,- lish brig. It seams that several emissaries sent from this place, had, previously to the Proclamation of the Spanish Constitution there, assured the ?rincipal in. habitants, that positive, though not official accounts had reached Lisbon, of the entire approbation of his Majesty, relative to all that had come to his know ledge of the movements in Portugal. Upcin this a Petition was made to the Governor, not to delay any longer the Proclamation, which he seemed dis- . inclined to do until his orders to that effect should have reached him through. the regular channel.—. He had not firmness to follow the suggestions of his better judgment, and the Revolution of the 28th ult. took place. When, however, a more accurate ac count of the state of things in Portugal readied Fun chal, and when it was clearly seen that all allegi ance to the King was, in fact, thrown off by those at the head of affairs, a large proportion of the inhabi tants began to express their disinclination to follow the steps of their Peninsular neighbours, or to impli cate themselves in their Councils by sending Deputies to the Cortes. This proved exceedingly disagreeable to the above emissaries and their partizans, who began to dread the effect which a revulsion in the public opinion might have upon their own personal safety. They accordingly resolved to be before-hand with their antagonists; and two of them, in execution of a concerted scheme, waited on the Governor in the middle of the night with a forged letter, which they pretended to have intercepted from one of the pi in cipal Officers in the island, to the Commander of a certain Portuguese ship of war, (whose name it will not be prudent to mention), and written 'with the intent to induce him to come to the island; an4,l inveigling the Governor on board, to keep him pri soner, when, it went on to state, they would immedi ately substitute the Bishop in his !.lace. The Go vernor was so wrought upon by this statement that he issued immediate orders tor the arrest of the Bishop, and others suspected, and caused them, with their guards, to be conveyed pi isoners to this place, on board the brig , W. Foreman, master.— They left Madeira on the 23d ultimo, and had a pat. sage of only seventy-two hours. These particulars I have learnt from the report of one of the Post °Meets, none of the letters which were brought by the brig having been allowed to be delivered; hut, as I am informed, there were tao addressed to —, I hope soon to learn further particulars; which, if the packet be not sailed, 1 shall add to th:s." St. Patrick owes St. David a tuna, as the Gentle men of the Stock ,Exchange would term it, or, as is commonly said, " One good turn th serves another."—Oa the First instant was the Second Drawing of the Lottery, and it was also St, David's Day, on which day an entire Prize of £21,000 was the property of one of the Tickets sent to Ireland; therefore, lit.
