The BIUTIIIII Pats. Coinmeuced publishiss yestectlay morning at five o'clock. LONDON, TUESDAY, Arm It, Ms. We find the contents of the Paris Papers of Saturday not much more interesting than they have been for several previous Lays. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Friday with the r.port of Petitions, none of which are worthy of notice on this side of the Channel. From the Etoile we have extracted some intelligence communicated by its private correspondent at Constantinople. The state of that city seems not to be in the alightest degree im proved. The insubordination of the Janissaries paralyses the Ottoman Government, while the Greeks capture its vessels under the guns of the Turkish forts. Every symp tom indicates the conscious feebleness of the Divan. Ar_ rests take place daily on some pretence or other ; but no attempt is made to recluce the mutinous soldiery to obedience, though st.tne of their officer have been removed by poson. The Coin has disappeared from circulation, and it is vainly hoped to bring it back by denouncing the most terrible penalti<s. against those who conceal or export it.. If the surrender of Petra' have not acttally occurred, there can be no doubt that terms of capitulation have been • proposed, and that the place catuot hold out long. It was reported that the Castle of Lepanto had already fallen. Prince MET TEXN!CII, it is stated, haves Paris on Satur day for Naistilirs. The Etaile states the eubstance of the official news from Peru, relative to ti.e defeat of the Spaniards, from the English Papal. "We do not think, however," it says, " supposing the news true, that the misfortune is without r.metly. It depenas on the firmness of the Spanish r.c'on." The Monitekr of Saturday contains a Royal Ordinance, determining the stion of certain additional cent;rte3 to the land tax ordered to be levied by the Law of Finance of August 4, 1.924. TLirtccn columns of the non-official part are filled with the Report of M. PORTALIS on the Irdemnity kIRVICM Arm'. 9.—Five p er Cents. IV2f. Ban'i Stets. 2.061 t. 2in.

BSc.—Corsi ...bnhent.cut, 9. -In the Colomb;.m Papers, lately received, we observe that great irritai;ini had b.:eta caused by a declaration made by the LORD CHANCELLGr. in his judicial capacity. in the count: of some argument in Chancery, his Lordship thought fit to observe, that " he kue . ffl no such Republic as that of Colombia. ' This broad and positive denial of the political existence of the new State was uttered under cir cumstsnces which eertaii.ly to fo:eigners would not seem to have called for .t. Tu their judgments the tone would not appear to be th:.: of a Judge, aituply stating that he cirzli not recoguise an authority which the Government had not as yet formally a.,dtnowledged. To them it would sat , ser tlie :ore o: a political adversary, who availed 4 Mvimiahle opportunity to strike acct. It :a is regietti I that public ofEceri, Judgez cape- II - z.- . ~ daily, should not avoid the use of those indiscreet expressions, which are calculated, as in this instance, to produce very extensively evil impended abroad. The Load Cuancau.oa usually• accompanies the statement of his propositions with all the limitations with which it is proper or necessary to qualify them ; and it is therefore the more I remarkable that at such a moment, when the question of recognition was in fact almost decided in the Cabinet, and when Consuls and Commissioners had been actually despatched to the Authorities of the new States, he should deem it advisable to deny the existence of the Republic of Colombia, in terms as express and clear as those in which he . would have spoken of the pretended State of Poyais. As the LORD CHANCELLOR was understood to have been opposed to the recognition of the new American Republics, it had, besides, the unfortunate appearance of a Judge mixing up his particular opinions with his duties on the Bench, and making them form part of his administration of justice. CITY, ?downs:7 EVENING. Although the holidays are now over there is but little business still doing in the Stock Exchange. To-morrow is settling day in Consols. and they are drooping. They were this morning done for money at 93i 4, and for the Account 931. I'ite Foreign Market was also extremely languid, and the prices very generally on the decline. The cause of the heaviness is ascribed to the large instalments payable this week on foreign loans; the amount is estimated at a million and a half, in addition to the payment for new Companies, which is also considerable. Ihe following are the pay ments to be made on foreign loans : Greek Scrip and Mexican Scrip 10 per cent: New Brazils 10 per cent. Old ditto 10 per cent. Danish 15 per cent. The old Spanish Bonds were done at 231 i ; and the new at 184, which is a shade worse than our last quotation of them. South American Securities were also depressed. Colombian Bonds were at 899 90; and Mexican Scrip at 1 i. Brazilian Scrip was 21 • and -Danish ditto 21 discount. There was a good de al in Greek Scrip-50,0001. were bought at 43, and the same amount sold at 5. The buyers of this Scrip to-day were of the first respectability; everything looks well as to its ultimate improvement. The Share Market was also dull. There was a little doing' in Pasco, at 131. There was also some bustle in the Rio de la Plata Agricultural Company's Shares, which went off briskly at 51. The Irish Manufacturing Company came out to-day ; the business in it had scarcely commenced before the close of the market, but Shares were sold at 1 premium. ' The Imperial Plate Glass Company rose suddenly to 2 premium, and is expected to go much higher. A fa vourable opinion is now entertained in the market of this undertaking. There was nothing doing this morning in Mincing-lane. 'To-morrow probably there will be great activity in the Colonial Market. The merchants trading to Jamaica and Colombia were thrown into a state of great alarm yesterday, by the fol lowing letter, received from Jamaica, dated Feb. 21 : " A vessel has arrived at Jamaica. from Carthagena, which sailed nine days after the packet. The latter having, it is sup posed, 100,0001. on board, it is feared has been taken by pirates, as twenty-four bodies have been washed on shore at Congos with out their beads." . THE BRITISH PRESS.

The Turks say that the troubles in Servia are appeased. They attribute them to the project of the Pacha of Belgrade. to put a Turkish garrison into Toprak-Kalb. a fort in which the Serviette had stipulated they should have a garrison. The Pacha sent repre sentations to the Government In support of his pretensions, which bare not been attended to. All the bankers in the capital have been summoned to-day to the Mint, to hear a &man read, the infraction of which. by the Re) as, will be punished with death, and by the Franks with banishment from the Ottoman Empire. MARCH 3. The orders concerning the coin are more rigorous than ever. The Armenian Patriarch was obliged to publish them yesterday, in the principal quarters where his countrymen reside. It is said that the garrison of Purse is reduced to such distress, that it has proposed to capitulate, offering to divide all the wealth in the place into three parts, one for the inhabitants, one for the Pacha and his troops, and the third for the Greeks. The latter have rejected these proposals, and the siege continues. Some per sons say that the Castle of Lepanto has surrendered, and that if this is true, Patras will soon be obliged to submit to the con. micron' terms. It is said that Resehid Mehemet Pacha, Commander.in-Chief of the army against the Mores, has written to the Government to request that it will not place under his command any Pacha of three tails; because, they being of equal rank with himself, he cannot exercise any control over them. He desires that all the Visirs already in his army may be recalled, and their places filled by Pachas of two tails, or other inferior officers. The Pacha of Egypt has required that the Capitan Pacha shall not go to sea this year, because there could not be two Admirals at sea at once. This demand seems less admissible than that of the Comeriander-in.Chref, and the fiesta of Ibrahim Pacha and Ale. hemet Kboarew, may have very different destinations, as was the case last year. It has been esid besides, that Khosrew Puha is to make another expedition against Samos. The Porte caused an orta to be executed five days ago, another three days ago, and it said that a mnteveili (a commisary of that corps) has been poisoned by superior orders. A certain number of officers is spoken of, whose fate is uncertain, and their lives in danger. These condemnations, or rather these executions, the cause of which is not made known by the Government, sufficiently prove the agitation and insubordination of the Janissaries. It has hem remarked that their Aga has avoided, for the last two Wednert. days, coming to preside in the Council usually held on that day, doubtless to avoid the responsibility which would attach to him as their Chief, for the resolutions that might be taker. To the preceding details, which we have received from cur own I correspondent, we add the following, front the Aug:burgh Gazette:— CONSTANTINOPLE. MARCH 10. It has been currently reported for some days that Patras has sur. rendered to the Greeks. The letters from Smyrna also give this news, and add, that Ibrahim Paeha, as soon as he heard of it, sailed with his whole fleet for Alexandria. 'We must, bor-ever, wait for the confirmation of all these accounts. All Levant produce is rising in price, in consequence of the pur chases made by the English. __ _ . TRIESTE, MARCH 2. Letters from Hydra of the 15th inst. say that Lolocotroni is con- Ened in the monastery of St. Eliu. The preparatory proceedings for his trial are carried on with great activity. On the 13th .March nothing certain was known at Corfu or Zante respecting the taking of Patras. P• 1113, AritiL 9. _ _ Prince Ai etternich sets out on the lfith for 31arseilles, w here he will embark fer Genoa, and from that city proceed to 31ilan. His son accompanies him, and his two daughters will set out to-mor row, with Count Esterhasy. for Vienna. Great consternation was caused at Naples on the 17th, by a re port that the lightning bad struck the Palace of Caserta. In fact it did strike into the apartments above that in which his Majesty w as writing ; but he did not evince any alarm, though the shock. was =lent. FLEMISH PAPERS. GHENT, APRIL 7.

DRURY-T-4NE THEATRE Mr. Macready made his first appearance at this Theatre last night since his indisposition, in the character of Ra mon!, in Massinger's revived play of the Fatal Do, rzi. On his entrance he was welcomed by a crowded audience with long and repeated bursts of applause, which must have convinced him that his temporary absence from the stage has rather added to than diminished his popularity. We regretted to find that the health of Mr. Marready is not altogether restored; he looked very pale, and appeared to be labouring under considerable weakness. But although his voice was more tremulous and his step less firm than heretofore, the extraordinary powers of the actor were un impaired, and he had those frequent but silent testimonials to his merit which are far better tributes than the loudest plaudits, and which must have been so many proofs that the energies of the mind can triumph over the weaknesses of the body. INTRODUCTION Or THE INDIAN CHIEFS TO THE• KING. WINDSOR, SUNDAY. CORONATION OF CHARLES X. The following are a few of the details of the ar. rangements for the Coronation of the King of France. Twenty-five Members of the Chamber of Deputies arc to assist at the ceremony.

Private letters received at Liverpool frem Barbadoes mention that the crops are in a promising state, and the weather remarkably line. A Royal Order in Council was promulgated in Demerara on the 17th of February, by his Majesty's command, tem porarily providing that the Acts already promulgated of the Lieutenant-Governor and Court of Policy, shall have the validity of laws till the 31st December, 1826—subject, however, to repeal by his Majesty, before that period; that Acts to be passed, be approved by his Majesty; and signi fied by the Secretary of State, before operation, unless of great urgency and importance; and, finally, that nothing shall extend to authorise the enactment of any Statute, Act, Law, or Ordinance, which may be repugnant to the laws of England ! In the last American Papers it is stated that Mr. Fabrega, the son of a Colombian senator, had arrived at New York from Chagres. He reported that the French, in conjunc tion with Spain, had sent despatches to Bolivar, advising him to crown himself, and that they would protect him in such an event taking place. These despatches, he added, were sent by Bolivar to the Colombian Congress. A letter, dated Panama, January 13, mentions the ar rival there of the British frigate Tartar, Captain Brown, from Peru, having on board " fifteen Generals, and all the Spanish troops." Advices from Mexico have been received, announcing the imposition of a further duty of 3 per cent. on such fo reign merchandise as should be conveyed from the port of landing, to the interior. Capt. Franklin, Dr. Richardson, and the other persons composing the Arctic overland expedition, arrived at New York on the 16th of March, in the packet ship Colombia, Lee, after a passage of es days from Liverpool. The packet ship Canada, Rogers, arrived off Cork on Wednesday last, in 19 days from New York, having sailed on the 18th of March. Some of her letters were landed at Cove, and reached Liverpool on Saturday. The Honour able E. G. Stanley, Mr. Denison, and the other Members of Parliament who accompanied them on their visit to the' United States, ate returning to England in the Canada, which, it was expected, would reach Liverpool yesterday. I Mr. Owen, of New Lanark, in Great Britain, delivered, on Friday evening, the 23th of February, in the Repre sentative Chamber at Washington, his lecture on the effects and advantages of his system for the improvement of the physical and moral condition of society. His lecture is spoken of as being very clear, intelligible, and well delivered. His auditory was very numerous : among the assemblage were, the President of the United States and some of his Secretaries, many Members of Congress, etc.— American Paper. SILK TILADE.—By the official returns, printed by the order of the House of Commons, it appears, that in the year ending on the 3th of January last, the quantity of raw silk imported into Great Britain was 3,047,70341 N., of which 1,047,64011b5. came from France, 1,307,300 3-161bs. from the East Indies and China. 334,4441b5. from Italy, and 318.3971b5. from Turkey. During the same period, 334,233i1b5. of thrown silk were imported from Italy, and 4161b5. from France. There were, also, 11b. of thrown silk imported from Spain, and 1 1-16th lbs. from Malta. The total quantity of silk, raw and thrown, imported dur- I ing that year was 3,382,337 10-16th lbs. The total amount of drawback paid on raw and thrown silk, and en manu factured silk goods, was 472,233!. 18s. 6d. PUTNEY BRIM; e.—By the account rendered to Parlia ment, it appears, that the amount of dividends paid to the shareholders of Putney Bridge, during the last eleven years, averages about 4,3471. LuNATICS.—By a return made to Parliament, it appears that the number of houses licensed for the reception of lu natics in 1822, was 43; in 1893, 44 ; and in 1824 47 • and the number oi lunatics confined in them during the first of these years was 1,725; and during the two last, 1,727.

CIIASTISEMRNT or CRILDREN.—Some judicious re marks appear in a work just published (77ic Aarrit , nr Medical Guide to the Deaf), un the danger of beating children on the head and ears. These observations are wortlly the consideration of parents and schoolmasters. _ , While the English Government is departing . from the system of commercial prohibition and intolerance which it has hitherto fol. lowed, and when all other Governments are applauding its liberal views, and will, probably, lose no time in following its example, the French Ministry alone perseveringly continues in its system of commercial duties, the saute retrograde course as in all its other conceptions. It is well known that M. de Wilkie has succeeded in acquiring, in the Chamber of Deputies, such a preponderating influence, that the Committees appointed to examine the projects of law, are no more than the servile echoes of the 'Ministry. It is to this very evident tendency of the Members of that Chamber, that we must ascribe the spirit which is manifested in the Report of its Committee on the new law proposed for the duties of Customs. We observe that certain concessions are made to the Government of the Netherlands only, with respect to linens; and, in order to ob. tarn the revocation of the measures of the reprisal taken by our Sovereign ; but it is also evident that these concessions are so illu sory, thit it is highly probable our Ministry will not be caught by them, especially as the interest of our linen manufacturers does not oblige it to desist from requiring what is just, since England has opened its numerous markets to this important branch of our national industry. It is evident that the present conduct of France with respect to foreign manufactures, tends to nothing less than to insulate itself completely, and to place it really in the situation in which Napoleon designed to place England by his Conti nental System. AMERICAN PAPERS. BOSTON, MARCH B. Yesterday being the day on which John Q. Adams was inau gurated President of the United States for four years next ensuing, was appropriately noticed by his friends in various places. In this city salutes were tired at sun-rise, at noon, and at sun-set ; a large number of those" who have been favourable to the election of Mr. Adams," dined together at Faneuil-hall; we did not see the Hall, but have understtod that it was decorated for the occaaton with great taste and eflect. In the evening a brilliant representation of the Temple of Liberty was given at the Theatre, in the centre of which was a transarency, on which was seen " March 4, 1825, John Q. Adams, President of the United States." _ WASHINGTON, FEB. 25. The question to-day is not who will compose the " Cahinet," but how do you like the new " Cabinet ?" The rumour is that J 1 r. Clay is to be Secretary of State, James Barbour Secretary at War, Richard Rush Secretary of the Treasury, and that Mr. Wirt and Isle. Southard are to retain their places; and this ru mour is retailed with so much positiveness by those who pretend to great political sagacity, as almost to command belief.—Mr. Clinton, it is said, will accept the mission to London. Ile will be well received, and do no discredit to the country he represents. JAMAICA PAPERS. Kixcsvow, FEB. 12, 1823.

Mr. Hayne's attachment to the sports of the field seems unabated, as it appears from our Norfolk correspondent that he is negociating for an estate, with wood lands of considerable extent, and a mansion -house, its furnitnre, wines, and every thing. His presence at Norwich last week sanctions our correspondent's information. Matthew Barrington, Esq., Crown Solicitor for Mun ster, has been summoned to give evidence before the Lords Committee on the Inquiry into the State of Ireland. All the debts due by Warren's Bank, Cork, are to be paid off, with interest, on the 23r1 of May. The Baronies of Fermoy, %Vest Muskerry, Kilmore, and Orrery, county Cork, have been relieved from th hardships of the Insurrection Act. a Yesterday morning, about half-past three o'clock, :r female attempted to drown herself near VI aterloo-bri lge, but was taken out of the water by the toll-keepers. The tranquil monotony of our town was somewhat agree ably broken in upon en Thursday, by the arrival of a ba rouche filled with a fantastic group of visitors. Our sur prise, however, at seeing four or five persons with rings in their noses as well as ears—with faces painted in all the varied hues of the rainbow—with large beads, sc., cover ing their persons, was abated on being itifortned that Thursday was the day appointed by his Majesty for receiv ing Stanislas Koska Ahavathaka, who styles himself " Chef du Conseil des Hurons," te , .. the ether Indian Chiefs who have accompanied him from Canada. Their anxiety to sec his Majesty was extreme. They had fre quently since their arrival in this country repeated their determination not to depart without seeing him, and they even were heard to declare that they would rather lie con cealed for weeks in the woods, and steal a glance at the King, than return to their country without having the power to tell their respective tribes that they had seen him. His Majesty was apprised of their anxiety to have an in terview with him, and was graciously pleased to receive them at the Royal Lodge in the Great Park. They ar rived, four in number, agreeable to appointment, at half past two o'clock, and were introduced to his Majesty on the lawn before the Royal Lodge, by Sir Edmund Nagle and Sir A. Barnard, the grooms in waiting. On coming into his Majesty's presence they fell upon their knees, kissed the King's hand, and in French (spoken with fluency and accuracy) expressed their deep gratittn., for the honour of the gracious reception they had met with, and the pride with which they would announce it to their countrymen on their return to their native home. Their joy was quite exotic when a large gold medal, with an impression of his Majesty, was suspended round their necks by command of the King. They continued in the royal presence for about twenty minutes, and repaired to Cumberland Lodge, ac companied by Sir E. Nagle and Sir A. Barnard, where an elegant collation had been prepared for them by command , of his Majesty. They partook of it in moderation, and exhibited an acquaintance with the courtesies and manners of civilized life, beyond what could be expected from mem bers of tribes which we continue to regard as uncultivated and even savage. After having been shown ever the vari ous objects of attraction in and about the Park, they de parted highly gratified at the attention they received, and delighted at the cultivated and romantic scenery through which they passed. The Indian Chiefs are of low steure, advanced in years, and possess features neither marked nor pr. possessing. The improvements at the Castle are carried on with great activity under the superintendence of Mr. Wyatville, who is in constant attendance. Upwards of five hundred per sons, tradesmen and labourers, are in daily employment. The grand entrance is already constructed : it is built of I Portland-stone, is larger and handsomer than the former one, and opens on tile Long Walk, so that from the front I Staterooms of the Castle the eye can range over a beautiful I expanse of country, to the extent of three miles and up wards. All the repairs that are now making promise much improvement ; most of them, from the state of the build- ing, have been rendered absolutely necessary. The beams, I and indeed all the timber in the various parts of the build-' lug which have been pulled clown have been found to be quite rotten, and in such a state as to render this fine edi fice in a state of positive danger. This is enough I think to silence all the declamation in which it has been the fashion in some quarters to indulge against the projected improvements at Windsor Castle. Ilk Majesty continues to enjoy excellent health. Prince Esterhazy had been at the Royal Lodge for a few days • he returned to town on Thursday. He has been succeeded by Lord Lowther and Sir Henry Halfurd, who are at pre sent the only strangers here. It is understood to be the in tention of the King to be in London on the 16th, when he will carainly visit the national theatres, and will probably remain in town until the Ascot races, which take place about the end of the The Princess Angdsta received visits yesterday from the Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Sophia.

Mrs. Canning returned to Gloucester Lodge yesterday, from the residtn:e of the Duke of Portland, at Wc:beck Nottinghamshire. Thursday evening the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland held his second Private ROI at Dublin Castle, which was nuclide(' by an immense number of the Nobility and Gentry. A marriage is on die hi,:r between Sir William Foulis, Bart. and the eldest daughter of Lady Mary Ross. We are happy to state that Sir James Mackintosh is so much recostrA from the severe indisposition with which he was attacked on Monday last, that; he was able to be present at the inauguration of Mr. Brougham on Wednes day. at GLlsgt,w, and arrived iu towu yesterday afternoon. The Twelfth Lecture of Dr. Spurzheim on the Science of Phi enology was delivered on Saturday evening last. The org ans which the Professor proposed to consider this evening were let. difficult to b- ascertained than those which had fornma the subject of consideration on former evenings. It was observed that many children, from their infancy, were particuearly attentive, not onlir to objects in general, but especially to everything v. hich occurred within their view. In adults, however, this faculty was not so active. Some persons were wholly Indifferent about what passed around them ; they went on in their usual course without regarding any event, or noticing any particular fact, however interesting or remarkable it might be iu itself. There were others, on the con trary, who observed everything, and who had their external senses SO easily excited, that scarcely anything could occur in which they did not feel an immediate interest. Tills faculty was called by the phrenological nomenclature Individuality, and its cr e tin was de veloped in the middle of the lower i art of the forehead. Tb re were sonic who had this organ very early and prominent y de/eloped. Such child: en would take great p leasnre in having s or so ;elated to them, and the more the talcs partook of the marvelous the mere their delig'tt would be enhanced. All those pers ;n1 who were fund of reading history, or noting ordinary occurrences; and those who gained with facility a superhtial knowledge of the sciences, or ac. quired a slight degree of skill in the various arts, would have the au. terior inferior part of the brain very fully developed. %Filen this patt of the forehead was depressed the individual would take no interest in such transactions. This organization was very common. There were son:e individuals who could recollect the particular facts of an his torical event, while the greater Lumber would retain only the know ledge of t h e event, and forget the particular facts out of which it arose. Some nations possessed this faculty in a greater degree than others. The French, for instance, had it conspicuously developed. In England, however, where the powers of reason were stronger, the organ of Individuality was not so prominent. Another power of the mind, more difficult to ascertain, was possessed by those who not only retained tile knowledge of individual facts, but coukt also tell the seeming and the dates when the various facts occurred. With such persons it was not sufficient to state the circumstances in a general manner ; they must digress into a thousand episodes. This was one of the great evidences of the power of memory. But as this power was variously employed, it had theletore been There is a pecu- Carl ously denominated. The memory of facts belonged to Eventuality. There were, besides, the faculty of verbal incoory the local the. i m ia7 Y p . o t w he er n' b e e tin lon °rY gin f g nu to mb tre ' and some others. duration and succession of events, which, in Phrenology, was called the fatuity of Time. This fa culty was essenttal to music, and its organ was ascertained. It applied itself ,to the external sense of hearns. But this faculty was not the result of that sense. If it were, then melody would be to also, inasmuch as the faculty of attending to the duration and succession of sounds was essential to melody. But it was well known that many individuals heard most distinciiy, and yet had no perception of melody ; while others, on the contraiy, who were almost deaf, were exquisitely acute in their perceptions of harmony, and would discover the least discord that could occur in the performance of pieces of the most complicated kind. BCLC2 it was obvious that there could be no connection or mutual ir.- fluence between die strength of hearing, and the perfection of the faculty ofperceiving melody. The Professor adduced the well.as. certained tact of a singing bird, though hatched by a strange female, singing naturally, and without any instruction, in the wing of its species, as soon as it was grown up, in further confirmation of his position, that the factthiee of time and of perceiving melody were not the result of the externul sense of hearing. This organ was developed just above the seat of the organ of Calculation, berg tins mediately over the external orbit of the eye. The. Professor then exhibited the busts of several eminent composers, in whom this organ was very prominently developed. The position of the organ of Melody in relation to that of Calculation, exemplified the order sod harmony of nature. These last faculties were placed together, in order that they might assist each other. This beautiful arrangement is observable in respect to all the other faculties. Some boys had a great facility of learning by heart, as it was called, while others could not by any etiOrt remember much. This was a faculty whose organ had been ascertained by Dr. Gall. He particularly re. marked, that those boys wliu h..d a good verbal memory had very prominent eyes; and in looking fur this organ the eye-ball was the point to which the attention should be directed, as the cerebral mass was situate In the posterior convolution of the anterior lobe, and was in a transverse direction behind the eye- This often caused the upper lid to pro rude, and the lower 09C to be considerably de. pressed. But of all the tieuities cf the mind there was not one about which so much error prevailed, as the faculty of ver bal memory. There had been instances of idiots having most excellent memories. Children who possessed this faculty oftentimes repeated their lessons mechanically, having no other power of the mind excited by it. Some individuals were extremely fond of language, and acquired, with great facility, the spirit of dif ferent languages, while others po s sessed an equal powe r o f re . 'mothering wools, without knowing the spirit of any language. The Professor dwelt at some length upon the natured' natural and artificial language. Ile then pro 'ee des to treat of the organ of Com parison. By tar the greater number of persons were satisfied with simple knowledge; others, however, had a strong desire to corn_ tome the different properties and qualities of one thing with another. Comparison was a high operation of the mind; it was. indeed, one of the two powers of reason, the other being that of Discrimination. Many persons poivess this fan lay in a bight degree. Its organ was aseertaineu—it was rated Just above that of Individuality. A still highsr power of the mind was that of Causality. Many chili:lron manitested this faculty. The power was first observed by Dr. Gall to be very prominent in metaphysi. clans, and be therefore called it Cie organ of 3letaphysics ; but it was not confined to metapnysicians alone—it belonged equally to dime persons alto, being attentive to the succession of events, traced effects to their first causes. The organ of this faculty was com pletely ascertained ; it was situated latterally to the organ of Com) orison. The development of this organ was observable In Ell persons who reduced things to their first principles. It wos strikingly prominent in the busts of Milton, Bacon, Socrates, and Homer ; in all men, indeed, who combined, sewated, and under_ stood. The people of England were generally remarkable fur the possession o f this faculty. Those persons who had the upper part of the forehead large, and the lower part small, were dispcsed to be speculative; they reasoned without facts. If their hypo thesis were true, their conclusions would be just ; but if false, the results of their reasoning must, of necessity, be fallacious. Individuals who mate clear conceptions, had the cerebral mass more prominet tly developed in the lower part of the forehead. In conclusion the Professor observed, that having now concluded his olisaVltiol son the organs, individually considered, he should, in his next Lecture, consider the combined activity of the different faculties, as expteased by physiognomy. which was the natural lan guage of the internal cperations. All persons were by nature phy. siognomista, although they might be uuconsciousof it. It was cum. mon to hear people say, " I cannot have confidence in such a one." " The more I see of that man the less I like him." But if these people were asked why they said no, they could assign no reason for it. Believing, observed the Professor, that every thing or. dained by Goel is acco r di n g to certain definite laws, and perceiving in physiognomy a natural language. I shall endeavour in my next Lecture to reduce that language to its principles. The sale at York in to enmmenee on the 25tit, instead of the 18th instant, as originally intended. The removal of the collection of pictures and vast tity of wine has exceeded the time which had been contemplated. Tlitre will still remain a;1 the furniture and other costly appendages to the Mansion, save only such as will be in strict conformity to the character and taste of the new mansion. The public will be admitted to the slew all the week antecedent to the sale; and by this delay the gay and fashionable world will have returned front their holiday keepirg. and be enabled to gratify their curiosity by a peep at the Stable. yard.—The sale of the materials of the mansion is fixed for the 2d of May ; and Mr. George Robins has pledged himself that every part of that edifice shall be sold and removed in one month. Mr. Smirke will consequently be enabled to commence the new mansioa on the 2d of June. Twelve thousand toren hundred and sixtY-six pounds three shillings was paid into the Treasury of the Eiciae O ffi ce l as t quarter by Mr. George Robins, for the auctimt duty arising from the sale of hold Ortnende's estates alone.
