As he only left Dover on the 31st of January, this is an instance of extraordinary dispatch. It is said that her Majesty was to set out on her return to this country, as soon as she had re posed for a few days at her villa near Pesaro, hav sag been much fittigued with her late dangerous voyage from Toulon to Leghorn, in which very bad weather was encountered. Her Majesty was, we understand, greatly affected by the sudden news of the late King's death. The Emperor of Austria has recently adopted a most liberal system of treatment with regard to Lis Jewish subjects. He has given orders that Rabbis, previous to their being appointed to particular sync. gogues, shall be examined as to their proficiency in the philosophical sciences and theology, and that IllopPokobeil M as** to thou, ow a wale corm " stehnding with the* acquirements. The Jewish youth are entitled to all the benefits of instrost ion ut the public seminaries, without any violation of their religious tenets or observances. On the other hand it is ordered, that the Jewish Prayer Books shall be translated into the vernacular tongue, and their re. ligious discourses be delivered in the same language. Ia the ordinance issued on this subject, a confident expectation is expressed, that the Israelites will, by their morals, talents, and other qualifications, expedite the period when it may be no longer necessary to maintain any distinction whatever be tween them and the other subjects of the Austrian monarchy. GLASGOW, Fen. 23.—Last night a large party of the Radical Reformers, which met in a tavern in the Gallo gate, were apprehended, by a warrant of the Sheriff of the County, and committed to the .jail of this city ; 28 in all were seized, consist.. ing of delegates from various places in the city and suburbs, as also from different towns and villages in the neighbouring counties. Their examinations are now going on at the Court-Room, before the Shisitl. The appearance of the military, and the seizure of such a number of individuals, collected a considerable crowd. The shopkeepers closed their shops, and for about an hour there was much bus tle and confusiea iw the street. The military guard, in returning %go the barracks, were followed by a crowd cif disorderly persona, and assailed with stones. We are glad to understand, however, that four of the most active in the mob were laid hold of, and are at present in custody ; and that a pie cognition is going on, with a view to their trial for this daring offence. The sentinels at the jail were doubled. and in a short time the town attained its usual tranquillity.

Mr, Jones, had some remark ably line pears, which his scholars kid often wished for ; but the attempt to gather them was, in their opinion, so hazardous, that no one would undertake it ; when Horatio, - on seeing all his compa nions staggered, came forward and brave the danger. He wwg aceordingt down from their dormitory by some si together ; and thus, at a considerable risk, the - prize ; but the boldness of the act w the young adventurer regarded; for hauled up again, he shared the pears school-fellows, without receivile , any fur and added, '` I only took them b ecause boy was afraid." •~~+; ) i • ***V.l.. -. _ ~ ..-- . . . / / ''d ‘ ) 47 0 e 7 '6. ; I CA " r " --- 116 ?: 11 1-- 7 .-- 5 1,1 4 - • (3 1 / 4 > . . ‘• . . . a ' Ii: a i ~ : i: ".. 1 11 0 ' _'.. 1..6.1 till stai isittr. ...rot. ~... ... ~• , .. ....
