y J SOCIETY. held at Exeter Hall, on , Chair. The object ofthfs institution is the improvement of the lower class cf the Irish, by the es•ablishment of schools in the different parts of that kingdom, where they are not only taught to read the Bible, &c. but etc also required to commit it to memory ; and it is only according to the proficiency of the scholars in this respect, that the masters receive their remuneration. Of the good effect' , of this institution some idea may be formed by a re ference to the report and the observations made by the different gentle men who addressed this meeting. From these it would appear that in the province of Munster, where the late disturbances have princi pally existed, they have 117 schools, and 4.576 scholars, with the at. tendance only of 11 clergymen whilst in Ulster, where the greatest order prevails, the Society hey: 925 school', and 53,174 scholars. with the attendance of 295 clagymen. In Clare. Limerick, and Kerry. there are only 31 schools, and 1.522 scholars. The total selloclt of the Society in Ireland are 1 595, and scholars 1.'5,755. Day scholars, 53,45 0 , of whom 2:1,093 are Roman Catholics. The incren!. of these since the last report arc 1.768, and Protestants 611. There ore 1.374 taught in Irish. Tiv.re have been distributed in Bibles ni,tl Testaments 19,763, of which 493 were in the Irish language, which is taught to all pupils who may dcsite it. It appears ::Is°, that al though the Schools have increased, the funds of the Society fro.o different causes have fallen off, and the expenditure ha• exceeded th income To remedy this, most strenuous efforts were made by the different gentlemen who addressed the meeting ; the prospective advan tages, through the medium of this socitty, of forwatding the trornl improvement of Ireland, and the rescuing it from the yoke of 'rot-tree and demoralization tinder which it at resent is labouring, was most energetically ret forth, but by none more so than that powetftil speaker, the Rev. Nicholas Armstrong. Ile stated in glowin; colour• the bodily misery and mental degradation under which his wretched countryrun had sn long laboured, and from wi ich it was the duty of the nation to step forward and remove them. Only 3.. for each scholar covered th.- expense. He sons rapturously applauded throughout hi. rddress. Amongst the other speakers, and directing their observ-tions to the same points. were Lord Bexley, the Rev. J. Burnett, Hof Cork; the Rev. S. d Bastille.. of Lublin; the Rev. J. it'ockney, the Hon. C. .1. Shore, the Rev. Wm. Marsh, with whose pleasing i.tel effective style we were all delighted ; particularly with the humour in which he in. troduced what he caled his extempore poctry,—" Now or never, Ireland for ever,"—the room was convulsed with laughter: Arch deacon Packtnham, the Rev. Dr. Henderson, the Rev. Mr. Caw thorne, &c. The report was read by the Rev. THOMAS Writ/err'', the secretary of the Society, who acknowledged donations from Lord Bexley and Lord ALunt-Sandford ; and after a vote of thanks to the latter, the meeting broke up. The greatest unanimity and good feeling prevailed throughout. TIIF. LONDON 111117.RN1 AN ti lhe 25th arigivcrory of thi. Society was 1 83011.41 - Leo.

The Duke of Rutland (in whose family no eminent de gree of personal merit has ever yet appeared) was, at one time, owing to the influence of the accursed abuse—now de nounced by King, Government, and People—able to secure for his own relations tic offices of Archbishop of Canter bury, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and Speaker of the nous , : of Commons ; and for his tutor, that exemplary successor of the Apostles, Dr. Sparke, the See of Ely— rich iu revenue and patronage—with many other smaller things for his con nexions anedependents. The Duke of Northumberland (a family of the same me diocrity of personal pretensions as the Manners) has long been in the habit of obtaining every thing he asked. Thir the nation saw church preferments piled upon Doctor Percy to the number of eight or nine, yielding many thousands per annum, and, at last, the See of Carlisle ! He demanded another bishoprick for his tutor, Doctor Bethel!, and, of course, got it. For another Percy he claimed and gained a Commissionership of Excise. In fact, none of the public departments are to he found, that are not stocked with per- sons thrust into them by this family. The Beresfords (a family standing on the same humble intellectual level with the Percys and Manners) have eNer cised in Ireland an equal command over the " spolia opima" of the State. Thus there were three of them at once in the enjoyment of M itres—an Archiepiscopal and two Episcopal ones—producing prodigious heaps of gold, while they fillcd with their own numerous connexions every piece of prefer ment in their gift; the family seizing, at the same time, all the posts in the army and navy, and all the government places that it was possible for them to 611. The new comedy, produced at Covent Carden Theatre, under the title of The Exquisite:, is from the pen of Senor Don TELESFERO de TRUEBA, a Spanish gentleman, ell known in the literary world as the author of the Castilian, Gomez Anus, and several other interesting novels. This is said to he the first attempt that ever has been made by a foreigner to write a comedy for the British stage; and it gust be highly gratifying to the author to find that his hold endeavours have been crowned with success. This gentleman was educated at the Catholic college of St. Ed&onds, in Herefordshire, and not at Highgate, as orrnnenusly stated by smite of the papers. He is a strong constitutionalist, and an intimate friend of that brave and patriotic guerilla, Mina, who is now at Bourdeaux, waiting till a favourable opportunity should arrive, to deliver his enslaved country from the tyrannical and bigoted yoke of Ferdinand 7th. Wednesday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the following ships were thus timed— viz.

Bur dett, about twet4y years ago, to the Parliamentary phalanx, or Regiment, as he called it. When first broached it was laughed at, hut at length it is an epithet which makes its objects lat.gh on the other side of their mouths. It is calculated that the beginning of June, when the elections are over, and when people will be flocking. to town, on account of the trsembling of the Parliament on the 14th, will display the fullest Lttentlance of fashionabies in the metropolis ever known. The West-end tradesmen, in particular, are said to be making- immense preparations. We are snitho.ised to state that the paragraph appearinr , in the Newcastle Chronicle , )f the 30th ult. of the Duke of N.lrthumberland having s',bscribed 100,0001. to preserve the Government of this country in the bards of the ho roughmongers, is a scandalous and malicious falsehood. — Tyne Mercury. In most of the South-sea islands prejudice exists against a woman eating in the presence of her husband ; and, in the Archipelago, her doing so is a crime punishable with death. In many places bordering on the Rhine, mendicity is made apparently a niatter of amusement ; at the sound of a carriage agricultural labourers will leave their work, and run whining by its side, in the hope of extorting contri butions. _ _ _ Sir Christopher Wren says that churches should not ex ceed 90 feet long by 60 broad,which makes 5,400 square ft. Exeter Hall, the new building for bolding public meetings is 130 feet long by 76 wide, which makes 9,880 square feet. being an excess of 4480 square feet, so that it is, if mea-1 anted by Sir Christopher Wren's standard, nearly one half too large. Thifirrobably accounts for the difficulty expe rienced in the large room in hearing the speakers from the platform to advantage. The expense of erecting this build ing was 28,0001. GOLD MINES IN THE RURAL MOUNTAINS.—The working of these mines continues, and the quantity obtained ii.creases. The quantity of gold obtained in 1829 was 287 ponds, 30Ibs ;in 1830, 355 ponds. A pond is about 401bs. The platina obtained was, in 1829, 78 ponds, 311bs ; and, in 1830, 105 ponds. The value in sterling is about five millions. The increase since 1821 has been gradual. In that year the gold obtained was 27 ponds ; in 1822, 28 ; in 1823, 105 ; in 1824, 206 ; in 1 8 25 , 237 ; in 1826, 231 ; in 1827, 282 ; in 1828, 291 ; and in 1829 and 1830, as above stated. The quantity of platina has gra dually increased from 1 poud 331bs. to 105 ponds. PRP ",~ v ie 11100' ... ti'C;'1:~~11 ,ter PAY()R,AIIiA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. ..„......._ MACCLESFIELD COURIER. Lord Henry Cholmondeley, accompanied by Colonel Parker, aus Sa t urd ay, visited the towns of Macclesfield and Stockport, though not we believe for the purpose of canvassing. He was, however, intro• clued to some half dozen gentlemen, whose political opinions on the subject of Reform are reported to coincide with his own ; but these, we understand, were extremely chary in promising him their entire support. On the same morning. Mr. Wilbraham waited upon the freehold ers of Congleton, and experienced a moat enthusiastic reception; if possible, surpassing that of the previous day at Macclesfield. The no tice of his intention to visit them was only made known to the inhabi tants a few hours before his arrival; yet their anxiety for the success of his cause with which their interests are so closely identified, prompted a display of spirit and activity that did honour to the town and neighbourhood. The deputation of gentlemen afterwards paraded the town, and attended Mr. Wilbraham to Isis carriage. The Bags were remarks• bly splendid, and the motto very appropriate. A few of them ran as follows The King has appealed to his people—support him.' The Sailor King for Ever'—' 000 bless King William the Fourth; England expects every man to do his duty.' At Stockport, on Monday, the enthusiasm of the people was raised to the highest pitch on the announcement of Mr. Wilbraham's inten tion to visit then), for the purpose of explaining his principles and soli citing the suffrages of the freeholders. Being the day for holding the fair, the town was very much crowded. A deputation formed i from amongst the most respectable inhabitants, and composed of about sixty persons, having been joined by a similar deputation from Hyde and the neighbourhood, waited upon him at Bramwell Hall, the seat of Capt. Humphreys, R.N. and on horseback and in cartiages, escorted him to Stockport. At twelve o'clock, the cavalcade reached the junction of the two road. from Bramwell, near the Wellington Inn, and was joined by a large number of freeholders on foot, and a band of music with banners, &c. As the procession passed through the principal streets, the cheers of the popular were incessant and almost deafening. Af ter the Na ional Anthem had been given with great effect, the Hyde deputation took the charge of Mr. Wilbraham, and accompanied by a number of the Stockport deputation proceeded to Hyde. As they were leaving Stockport, however, so great was the excitement of the crowd, thut they determined to draw Mr. Wilbraham's carriage. This was ob jected to, but the disappointment seemed to be so great at the de. plat, that ropes being procured, the carriage was thus drawn amidst redoubled shouts through Hyde, Dunkinfield, Ashton, and Stayley Bridge, a distance of six miles. Oa Wednesday, great preparations were made to give Lord Bel. grave a favourable reception in Macelestied. His lordship arrived at the Hotel soon atter twelve o'clock, and the committee immediately waited upon him in procession, decorated with favours, and preceded by banners and the excellent Sutton New Band, which having refused employment front the agents :of land Henry Chobtondelty, volun teered their gratuitous services un behalf of the reform candidates. The retirement of Mr. Wilson Patten from the expected contest for Lancashire, has left the public snirited gentlemen of the Manchester committee at liberty to lend their efforts in support of the good cause elsewhere. They have, accordingly, in the most handsome manner, offered a liberal subscription in aid of Mr. Wilbraham, and the per sonal and professional services of some gentlemen of their body, if ne ceuary. In the mean time the Mends of reform, in this county, have not relaxed In their efforts, but the greatest anxiety is every where ma nifest to secure the election of the candidates who are pledged to sup port Lord John Russell's bill. Committees in their interest sit daily at Chester, Middlewich, Northwicb, Congleton, Macclesfield, Stockport, Birkenhead, Manchester, Liverpool, and other places in and out of the county. In all these towns the electors pledge themselves to come to the poll at their own cost, and subscriptions are set on foot to defray the travelling expenses, &c. of those who cannot well afford to pay their own; and committees of finance, of management, and for the investiga tion of validity of votes, have been appointed. Yesterday, a central Committee, consisting of delegates from local committees, held their first meeting at Stockport, at tibieh the most satisfactory reports of the proceedings in the (haunt parts of the county were delivered, and the subscriptions stared to amount to many thousands of pounds. At some of the factories the hands, it was re ported, bad subscribed, within one hour as much as twenty pounds from each concern, and that the example would most probably be fol lowed throughout the district. A resolution of the Manchester corn. mittee was read, from which it appeared that the committee had unani mously voted the sum of £1000;. and a letter from Charles Hurls, Erg. the Secretary to the patriotic fund in London, announced that a large as would ire contributed. 31IXERAt. FOREST,—A subterranean forest has been discovered in the coal formation near Glasgow. The trees are vety numerous, they occur many feet below the surface, and arc vertically imbedded in the sandstone. The trunks of the trees are abruptly cut off by the superincumbent shale. The bark is converted into coal, but the woody structure, for a considerable space downwards, is of a shaly nature. A naturalist, struck with the extraordinary appearance presented by this deposit, actually asserts that these trees are in situ!

LEICESTER CHRONICLE, MAY '7. We most sincerely congratulate our fellow townsmen on the glorious triumph which has been this week achieved in the return of Mr. Evans and Mr. Ellis, to represent this Borough in Parliament. We may safely affirm, that no event, de public nature, has given more unqua lified satisfa ction to the great majority of the inhabitants, for many, very many years past, than this victory over a domineering party. We might recall back to the recollection of our readers, the exulting tone held by our opponents after the great contest in 1826, and the confidence which they expressed of their principles; but it is not chi ' valrous to exult over a Ulm foe, and we shall therefore dismiss the subject. The early part of the day proved rather unpropritious for the chair ing. Humberstone-gate, Coal-hill, Ciallowtree-gate, and all the ad. joining streets, from which a view of the intended procession could be had, were crowded with spectators. Soon after three o'clock, the worthy Members took their seats in their respective chairs, and were borne along the street on the shoulders of men, preceded by a fine poplar tree, on which were the inscriptions of " Tree of " Liberty," " Reform," " Evans and Ellis." This was followed by the Union Jack, and eleven other flags, inscribed " The King and the People," " Civil and Religious Liberty," & c. &c. some of which were c arried by Life Ouardsmen, freemen of the borough, and who bad come down from London to vote for the popular candidates. The chairs were very tastefully decorated with the respective colours of the members. Mr. Evans's was purple and white ; Mr. Ellis's green and purple, surmounted with a crown and a profusion of the laurel leaf Tbe procession went along the East.gates, Cheapside, into the Market. place, which was filled to overflow, and from thence along Friar-lane, up Southgate street, down High-street, and to the members' respec tive inns. COUNTY ELECTTON.—On Thursday morning Lord Robert Man. ners declined the contest, and as no other gentleman of the same party appeared, C. Al. Phillippa, Esq. announced his intention to become a crndidate on the same day. The time for nomination being fixed for twelve o'clock yesterday, there was a very numerous attendance of gen tlemen and freeholders in the Castle-yard. C. James Paeke Esq. then came forward to propose Charles March Philippe, Eeq. of I3arendon Park, as a fit and proper person to repre sent the county in Parliament. E. C. Hartopp, Esq. seconded the nomination, and highly eulogized Mr. Phillipps as a gentleman in every way qualified to represent the etrunty in Parliament. C. M. Phillips. Esq. then cause forward, and shortly addressed thus freeholders, and a show of hands was held up in his favour. Mr. 'nett, grazier, then came forward and proposed Thomas Paget, Esq. of Humberstonc, as a fit and proper person to represent the county, and a geatleman whose political opinions were too well known to need any comment from him. Mr. Thos. Stokes, hosier, seconded the no -1 urination of Mr. Paget. T. Paget, Esq. then came forward and addressed the freeholders in a speech of great length, in the course of which he animadverted in severe terms upon the conduct of " Westminster's Pride" (Sir Francis Burdett, who was present) for having wished him to withdraw his pre tensions to the county, to make room fur Mr. Otway Cave, which he (Mr. Paget) considered an insult not only to himself, but to the free holders at large, but be would not be a party to any such course, un less at the request of the great body of the freeholdere--a sentiment which was responded to by the loud and enthusiastic cheers of the Meeting. sign Sir F. Burdett came forward with considerable animation to explain, but was met with loud hisses, mixed with cheers, which prevented us lan hearing him very distinctly. As tkr as we heard the hen. baronet We understood him to say, that In making the proposition which he bed done, he had only been actuated by • desire not to see reformers Sibleading among themselves, at a time when every day was bringing fence of such splendid triumphs to the cause of freedom. In big forward to nominate Mr. Otway Cave, he had no ill feeling *Oast Mr. Paget, and on finding the real state of the case, he had imsgested to his hon. friend to sacrifice his personal feeling In the great muss, and to give his personal support to Mr. Paget. 7 '4 77!!! _ "PP . r" ..

DISTRESSING AeCIDEST.A great excitement prevailed at 5../t• tesford, near Behuir Castle, on Saturday evening last, between eight and nine o'clock, by e report that four children had been immersed in, the cistern of r privy, in dt ! yard of the Bull inn. Persons of all desi scriptions were running in breathless haste to the spot ; parents were; anxiously inquiring for their children, mothers almost frantic. The report proved to be too correct ; the children were immediately taken out, and the attendance of surgeons procured, who declared them to have been dead some time, horn the effect of suffocation. Their bodies were cold, and presented an awful sight, which proved to be thaw of four females, all about the age of nine ; one the daughter of Mr. David Doc, the landlord ; one the daughter of Mr. Geeson, grocer, one that of Mr. John Sutton, fellmonger ; anti the other that of Mr. Dawn, Breatlier.hi , s near Barrow by, who the day previous had come to her aunt's, at Boitesforil, to receive her education. An inquest was on Alonday held, at the Red Lion. before Mr. Clarke, coroner ; the verdict, " Accidental death from suffocation? it is supposed that the deceased were jumping float the seat of the privy upon the floor, as since, it has been discovered that they, as well as other children of about the same age, rem in the habit of so doing.

On :Sunday he expected protection In the day, and went to thc Town-hall, In Mr. Alderman Leyland's car riage, for the purpose of walking with the Mayor and Corporation to St. George's Church. On Ids arrival be was diem() by a few of his friends, who recognised his person. As soon n% the fact became known that the general was in the ball, the crowd increased until the whole of Exchange-street West was filled, not with the rabble, but with respee. table looking men. Mr. Ald. Wright, just htfore the civic procession issued fret u the west door of the ball, came oat on the steps, and es. honed, we arc informed, the friends of General Garcoyne not, on that sacred clay, to raiw. any shout for the ;saner:A. hoping, at the same time, that his opponents, if any were present. would not tlesecrote the Sab bath, by any expressions of dislike. The proctssioa had just reached do , o seer of Castls-strets, when the crowd com.-eoced hissing and haulm' the general, which bis partiseus answered Ity elhars. These mark , t.f favour and dislike were continued until thc procession entered the church. In ihe interval between the commencement and the co's elm ion of Divine service, the crowd had Increased to several thotoacdia, and it became evident. that thc gallant general would again become the object of palmist hostility. A+ 60.114 as he quitted the sanctuary, groans, ititt.t, :tad other sign of disapprobation towards hint, broke from the dense crowd. which is desciihed to us as having been " the most respectable molt ever seen in the streets ol Liver pool." The general's friertis answered the cells of the multitude by repeated burns ; but their voices were drowned in the hisses anti hooting,' of bit onoonents. Amidst this scene of oproar, which is without a parallel in the annals of Liverpool, parts , feclinri having been els ays restrained no the Sabbath, Gen. Gaatatyne entered the Town-hall, by the Trea , urcr's door. How to get him out of the building ;tow became the point for consideration. A stratagem was re. sorted tn, to facilitate his escape. Thc.constables acre ordered to make demonstratiou on the cast side to char the way for him, as it' he in :coiled to come out there, whilst he made his retreat through the west door, at here Ica people were assembled, and drove off in a friend's pew rings ! The crowd thus foiled in their object, dispersed. I taaxcasrara—On Monday ;moving. placard* were posted, all' „ , .CIT. cider* issued throughout the town and nelehbourbood, amwoocing that ' B.

Every house in the streets through which he passed was crowded with spectators—laurel leaves and branches, (appropriate symbol%) Sine ribbons, shawls, scarfs, and hantlkerchiefa., of all shades. sizes, anti denominations, were waved with evident signs of delight ; and the scene was one of the most incorecivable animation. ROCHDALL.—Monday last, being the monthly market at Rochdale, usually called " the great Monday," it was resolved that Mr. Hay. wood should avail himself of the opportunity for addressing the free. holden and other persons who were likely to be assembled on that occasion. De left Manchester about nine o'clock in die morning, in an open carriage, drawn by four horses, and was accompanied by Shakspeare Philip s, Esq. John Kennedy, Esq. and Dr. le P. Kay. At each of the different villages ors the road, roil especially at Mid dleton, large runilters of people were assembled, and greeted Mr. Heywood with loud and Lei:risk't cheers us he passed along. On :arriving within about a mile end a half of Rochdale, Mr. Heywood was met by a nunilser of gendemen oil horseback, who preceded the carriage on its route towards the tow n . After going ahem half a mils further, the road was found to be lined with u dense crowd of people, extending all the way to the centre of the town, who all took off their hats and greeted Mr. Heywood with loud diem as soon as he made his appearance. At the church stile, a very good halal of rusic was stationed, who struck up " Stx ;the conquering hero comes," as 60011 as tie carriage passed. On arriving in the town 'crals: numbers of people were assembled in the streets; mid whoa Dlr. Ilsywood alighted at the Roebuck Inn, the street was Mind for a considerable distance by a crowd, amounting to at least six trot seven thousand persons. At the Roebuck, Mr. Heywood was received by the committee appointed to conduct the canvass of the fre'uohltrs in that neighbourhood, and, after a. short conference with him, re.cn. ' tercel his carriage from which he addressed the assembled multitude at some length, and was thtougliout his speech received with the most unequivocal marks of approbation. . PRESTOE, CROULEY, WIGAN., LEIGH, WASIIESCITOWAftCr can rassing Lancaster on Tuesday, Mr. Heywood set out on WerinciaLy morning for Preston, where lie was also extremely well received, though a few of the people, having their own electioneering politics predominant in their minds, cried out, " Hunt for ever." Fro. t Pres. ton, Mr. neywood proceeded to Chorley, where he was received is the most erthusiumic manner, mid where the freeholders, almost without exception, had pledged themselves to vote io his favour. —After addressing the people of Charley, he proceeded to Wi. gan, where thc people drew his carriage. into the town, scup ho addrested them front the front of the Eagle and Child Hotel Here, as in every other place which he visited, Mr. 1:eywooil was greeted with thc moat enthusiastic cheers from the multitude as , enibled. About four o'clock Mr. Heywood left Whnt„, it on his warm Leigh, and was met a short distance from that place In r considerable number of , persons, amongst whom was a body of about Cu farmers, resitlit a to the neighbourhood. After addressing die people at Leigh, Mr. Ileyeoce proceeded to Warrington, and from thence home ; reccivins at cycle stage tl e enthusiastic and nobounded acelaniatiors of die people, anti the most flattering promises of anpport from the freeholders. In this way Mr. Heywood was received throughout the county. The well.inown adage of os seeding coals to Newcastle" has at length been verified.

Yesterday the Sessions of London and Middlesex commenced at the Old Bailey, before Mr. Justice LITTILZDALr, Mr. Justice BossN atrZT, and Baron VAUGUAX. The alitity.ltecorder of London p re . sided at the N.:w Court. The =lender comalns a total of .10 eases for London, and 19c; for the county of Middlesex, in both 236. Of these 5 are for murder, 1 manslaw s liter, 5 borgEry, 13 housebreaking, 131 1 .recny, 42 stealirg f the perton, 9 wiling in a dwellitt_t-how e , stealing a hater limn the post-office, 2 horse-stealing, 4 uttering coup . terfeit coin, 2 Cur an efrativ kawl iwwiwovltus, wul the remainder for minor ofVences of various tlcsteriittions. There arc now in the poi 0 , Ncegate rai) male. 2.11 114 female prisoners, or whom 18 we undo sentence of &alb, soid It. of transportation for life. The Court was occupied during the day in trying cases of al tnine nature, and of no public 'merest. We never recollect the Old Bailey so little crowded, or so fete from excitement, during the season. Ikfore the COMMON SEIJIANT. CASE nErainan 70 THE TWELVE JUDGES Williom Deelry, tin elderly ,urn, was placed at the bar, who at th-2. last April , ensims was convicted of bigamy. • An objectioil t em raised 'pun a miNsion on the face of the indictment, which imputed that he 66 murk(' Elizabeth Chant, 1 . /Mow," whereas it api-earol in on. deuce that Elisabeth Chan , (t 11.! second wife) was what 1134 tailed in Irtr 6 - a spinstcr,"--a deviation which die twelve Jud•;e, held to let fatal, and thenaiire the iiri-oncr w.a. entitled to his disci:urge. The celebrated Vicar of limy was one Simon Symonds, who kid that benefice dirrin:.; the reigns of four successive monarch'. He is said to ila.: been twice a Protestant and twice a Papist; and wl,en reproached for the unsteadii.ess of his principles, which could thus suffer him to veer about with every change of Adieinktration, replied that he h a d always rforernedhimself by ghat I.e thought a very laud able principle, which vas never on any terms, if he could avoid it, to part with hk vicaraee. The following account of tho eccentric appearance and costume of an attorney-general at Otaheite is taken from Captain Beechey's inteiesting account of his recent voyag e to the Pacific :—" The Nava-rai of the district took his place between the Court and the prisoners, dressed in a long straw mat, finely plaited, and edged with fringe, with a slight cut in it for the bead to pass through ; a n bite oakum wig, which, in imitation of the geutlenuli of our courts of law, flowed in long curls over his ; and a tall cap surmounting it curiously ornamented with red feathers, and with variously-coloured tresses of human hair. His appearance, without shoes, stockings, lr trousers, the sti tinge attire of the head, with the varivg.arid tre,s. , of hair mingling with the oakum curls upon his shoulders, pro duced, as may be imagined, a ludicrous effect." Tne Alreeeee fu.tr.— At the Hampshire election on Friday, a gentleman, named Marsh, iii the course of a very humorous address to the electors, said " he really believed that a sort of eelitical Ails:Huhn-a was commenced, as lawyers had eefused to receive money for their services; and who knew but that, by and bye, they might hear or Clergy men declining to take their tithes ; but he did not believe that would occur in the year I e3l—(laegliter.) The other day when he had an opportunity of seeing a numerous body of Clergymcn swarming together ia oppesitiou to the bill, he gave them the name of Ilivites ; finding tkeni very strentious, be called thou Hittites, which he subsequently changed, fium their dislike of the King's bill, to anti ' hillites.—(le tighter.) The Ring of Denmark, to prevent unnecessary litigation, has established a Court of Equity, or Aihitiatiun, the mem bers of which arc paid entirely by Co.. eminent, and no ex iNnse is incurred by the parties appealing. to its tiecision. No suit can be instituted in any court without a certificate to state that the parties have ineffectually attempted to have it settled by arbitration. It was coulidently rumoured that a sweeping measure of retrenchment will be one of the first object.: to which the at tention of the new House of Common- will be directed. The measure, it is uneerstoed, t ill be introduced in the form of a resolution, declaratory of the principle that all offices (without exception, and without regard to the tenure by which they are held) to which no duties me attached should be abolished ; that, %there lime are coice, the salaries and .emolument shutild he apportioned to the work actually per. formed ; and that every channel of unnecessary expenditure should lx' closed. This will be the. first advance towards the Mill nium promised by Lord Althoip, in which the country is to ')e governed without patronage, or towards that happy period alluded to by Mr. Home, whon it mai t,o t.,..3..be necessary for a Minister of the Crown to be a rogue. The support of this resolution is to be made the test for trying the merits of eendklaces for the reformed I louse of Com mons, in like manner tis the support of Lord John Russell's bill is a test of the merits of candidates at the present ge neral electian. The fine eameleopard, which was shipped on bnard the Lady 11I' Naughton, East Indianian, at Calcutta, died off the Cape of Good Hope. The Captain Lad the animal, which was extremely young ; in his posse' .ion for some inculthsbe fore it was placed on board. It vas twenty feet high, and valued at 2,0001. Au insurance was effected on it, it is said, at the rate of 20 per cent. It was captured in the in terior of Africa, ith twn others—one et which was sent to 'the Pacha of Egypt, and the other to the Grand Seignor at Constantinople. The following is a paragraph in Mr. Rees original addreu to the freeholders of Tipperary :—" What teed we further to prove the necessity of Rrperil to remedy our complicated wrones—Gascoyne himself asserted, but a short time since, that he would sooner second a motion for repeal than have the Parliament occupied with Irish business!! Up, up, then fore, bravo freeholders of Tipperary! from end to end of the county, and animate each other for the approaching exertion of your constitutional power—tear off the flimsy veil that, Hcavcn knows how, has been cast over your po litics—this is verily no time for humbug—a man that is true to &p al mu, t he true to Rrftnen, as the only legiti mate means of obtaininie it—but you know to your cost, that Iteformeis may not be Repealists. Suffer none, therefore, to represent our noble minty, that does not advocate repeal e. --such a man can alone be effective, because he alone can tne true to his country. Again, I say, be stirring, and by with unanimity you mutt insure success. • • . . The 17th of January last, IA 1114.xieo, the lady of Charles Thaddeus 0 / 00 1maiss 1 . 1 1.
