Fro the Singapore Chronick.l Among the novel objects which the natural history of this island offers to the scientific observer, stakes are amongst the most curious and interesting. Frei» forty to fifty distinct species have already been collected, among which many are believed to be entirely new. • The Malays, who are particular to redundancy in small matters, have a name for every one of them. Among them is the Python, or Ular Sawah, improperly called , the Boa COnsttietor, although we have met with none of extraordinary magni tude, and two curious species of hooded snake. In so great a variety six poisonous species only have been found ; nor is the bite of these in the highest degree venomous. cc the worst of them seldom destroy a fowl in less than Mi.( en hour, and we hare not yet heard of a Beath from their bite among the inhabitants. The mischievous or worth less part of the creation is not less numerous than varicur in Singapore, so that a naturalist is presented with daily opportunities of observing their habits and manners. We may notice two examples of these habits which fell under our own observation. The most poisonous of the whole is a green snake, spotted black and yellow, with a triangolar shaped lead, and a pair of formidable fangs on each side of the mouth. This animal, in its habits, is so sluggislt and so little irritable, that we have seen the Malaya sport with it in their naked bands, without the fangs being extracted. We have seen the same animal die in three hours from the bite of a hooded snake, to which it bad offered no resistance, although the most poisonous of the two. Two days ago a Malay brought to a gentleman a couple of snakes of different species, tied by the neck and body to one pole, the largest about six feet long, .and the smallest about four. In this situation the former took the head of the latter in its mouth, soil there held it fast, being unable to swallow his prey from the tightness of the ligature round the neck. As soon as this was undone, however, he commenced the process of deglutition, and by slow means swallowed the whole in about half an hour, not in the least disturbed from its purpose by the preseners of a number of persons, nor by being frequently handled and moved, his whole beastly existence being apparently absorbed in the one aOpetite of satisfying Isis hunger.

AT a numerous NIF.ETING of the SILK MANU FACTURERS, SILKMEN, and THROWSTERS of MACCLESFIELD and its Neighbourhood, held on Mondays January 30, 18%; JOHN BROCRLCHURST, Jun. Esq. in the Chair; It was unanimously resolved, lit, That the Silk Trade is depressed to an extent unknown at any former period. 21, That although the manufacturing interests generally are in a ewe of stagnation, at no turner periods of general distress has the Silk Manufacture, from its peculiar circumstances, been depressed In the same proportion, and that, in addition, this manufacture being principally one of taste and fashion, has been, at all other times of general distress, in a certain state of activity at this season of the year, in preparation for the Spring Trade. 3d, That so far front this being the case at present, more then half the working population of this town and neighbourhood are unemployed, and the others working not more than three or four days per week, and at a reduced rate of wages. 4th, The chief causes to which this state of things can be attribut ed are the measures proposed by his Majesty's Ministers to make a further reduction of 2s. bd. per lb. in the duty on Foreign Thrown nilk, and the prospect of the importation of Foreign Wrought Silks in the month of July next, which deters purchasers from coming into the market, from a conviction that the goods of foreign manu facture will be produced at a price against which the British manu facturer cannot compete. sth, That the relative circumstances of this country, and those from which competition is to be apprehended, are such as to pre clude the prospect of our competing with any chance of success, and that such must have been the feeling of Parliament, who con sidered a duty of 30 per cent. necessary for our protection. 6111, That such cannot be made effective, as is admitted by all those who have had any experience of protec ting: duties, as well as Ly his Msjesty's Ministers themselves. 7th, That the Silk manufacture has made great progress both in event and in the improvement of its fabrics; and, according to the Renoir! of the horde' Committee in 1821, employed a population of Eoo.ntil souls, since which it has been very considerably increased, and a vast addition has been made to the capital employed In it ; progress has been effected untltr an absolute prohibition of the import of Foreign wrought goods, and a high protecting duty upon Foreign Thrown Silks. 3th, That those protections are still necessary to avert total ruin to the Throwsters and hlanufacturers, and starvation to the great body of operatives unemployed by them. Bth. That a Petition, founded on the foregoing Resolutions, be immaliately prepared, and presented to both Houses of Parliament. loth, That there Resolutions be advertised in the two Maccles field Papers, and in two London Papers. JOHN BROCELEHURST, Jun. Chairman. ft was afterwards resolved, That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chairman for his able sod impartial conduct in the ('hair. . .

REGENT.STHEET. NEAR PALL-MALL. TO LINENDRAPERS, SIM-MERCERS, WINE-MER CHANTS, UPHOLDERS. And others requiring extensive Premises in a first-rate Situation. Ilv Messrs. DAWSON and CAFE, Peremptorily, by order of the Proprietor, on the Premises, on TUESDA Y. Feb. 21, at 12. THE substantial LEASEHOLD PREMISES, situate on the east side of the Promenade of Regent-street, being No. 23. between Pall-mall and Piccadilly. The Premises com prise five bed-chambers, and closet fitted up with cistern ; a lofty drawing-room. fitted up with marble chimney-piece, 20 feet 9 inches by 16 feet 6 inches ; and six sitting.rooms ; a spacious lofty show.shop, two parlours, and private entrance ; housekeeper's room, kitchens, excellent cellanng, and every accommodation ; held for a term of twenty-one years from the 4th day of June, 1820, at a low rent. That owing to the numerous advantages possessed by the foreign manufacturer over the English, it will be impossible for the latter to compete with the former in the present state of the home trade ; and if the importation of foreign wrought silks shall be allowed to take place at the period now fixed, not only will the English ma nufacturer be compelled to dispose of the stock that will remain on hand at a very great loss, but he will be rendered incapable of prosecuting the improvements which have been suggested in the machinery employed in the manufacture, and must finally abandon the manufacturing branch of the trade altogether to foreigners. SPIT'ALFIELDS.—DISTRESS of the SILK WEAVERS. Fcb. 6,18!5. At a MEETING of the COMMITTEE held this day in the Vestry-room. Spitaldelds, IV M. HALE, F Aq. Treasurer, in the Chair ; Re‘oired. That owing w the very many applicants foe relief, shirt' up to this day have mehed the number of three thbuund cases. and averaging foueto a family, amount to twelve thousand ielsons, the demands on their funds have been so great that the C , maiittee are under the necessity of stating, that unless the Fund pl it d at their disposal be promptly and considerably augmented, the Committee will be compelled not only to refuse all fresh ap '.on•, but todiscont int: e aflurding a further relief to the distress. mg cases that have been already aubmittLd to their consideration. Resolved, That some of the public papers having misstated the amount of relief granted to the applicants, the Committee think It right to lay before the public the scale which they have adopted : That under this impression, and foreseeing the consequences that must inevitably result from the introduction of foreign silks, many of the most respectable houses in the trade have already be gun to tliseharge their workpeople, and your memorialists are per suaded that their example will be quickly followed by all the rest of the manufacturers.

That your memorialists have ascertained thatiilk can be wrought Into riband by the foreign manufacturer at an average of three pence three farthings per ounce, whilst in this country the cost of producing the like description of goods is one shilling and two pence three farthings per ounce, making the cost of labour in wader, turing sixty-three ounces of silk into ribands in this country, three pounds seventeen shillings and five pence, whereas the foreign ma nufacturer can produce the same quantity at a cost of one pound and four pence. That assuming such calculationa to be correct, it will be obvious to your Honourable Board that if silk be sent from this country, be manufactured abroad. and be re-imported in its manunictured state, it could still be sold, after paying the duty of thirty per cent. at a fair profit, and at a lower inlet, than the same goods could have been sold if manufactured in this country.

Printed for J. \lawman, Ludgate -street. LONDON PHRENOLOGICAL socrErr. [From the Pottsiiaic Miscellany.] We hare great utisfeetkin in directing the attention of the literary public to this Society, as well for the purpose. of exhibiting the madam of its members, characterized b persevering industry, zeal and ability, as fur that of excit ing a dis nosition to inquire into and exam i ne th e princi ples of die science they advocate. We are fully convince l that if such inquiry were instituted, the advantages to mat:- kind at large would neither be few nor unimportant. The philosophy of the mind would no longer be regarded as " refined nonsense" but would attain to that pre-eminence in the scale of scientific investigation of which it is so worthy. Among many interesting and scientific essays, that which last etgagt.ti the attention of the Members of the Society, was one " On Me importance of the Principles of Phrenology, a 4 applicable to Education." The author showed that an early knowledge of the mental bias of children, and of their capabilities and deficiencies, enabled the preceptor to adrw the meats to the end with greater certainty than when swift knowledge was only attained through the powers evineed at a more mature age. This early knowledge phrenology can alone impart. This science, inculcating the notion of a plurality of faculties, each manifested through the me dium of a distinct organization, furnishes the key to {ha mental constitution of man. The .fully-developed orgies enables one to judge of its future activity, while the deb dent sign forbids a heartless pertinacity in endeavouring. to produce an impression where usestal perception must ne cessarily be weak. How many a lad with superior intellec tual faculties is esteemed stupid and perverse, because he feels a difficulty in acquiring the first principles of science ! How many are regarded as indicating brilliant talents, who cannot compare one idea with another. A pre-emi nently active faculty will necessarily furnish indicatious of its existence ; but how many individuals are there, with faculties far above mediocrity, lost to society through the ignorance of those intrusted with their early instruction To illustrate these and many other interesting triples in the above essay, casts were produced, and cases related of known individuals. Among the latter was that of a young gentleman, who was presumed to furnish a complete re futgtion of all that had been advanced as phrenological truth. With a very finely-developed head, his reflecting faculties pre-eminent, and with perfect health, he was re presented as dull, almost amounting to idiotcy, although at. times his observations were acute and sensible, and evinced that information previously imparted had nOt been aho gether disregarded. This led to a belief that perverseness and obstinacy were the characteristics ; and punishmerno of no ordinary severity had been resorted to, without pro.. dining the desired effect. An expert phrenologist, merely from the report given, at once singled this youth from among his companions, pointed out at once the defect under which he laboured, and showed the injustice ha had been subjected to. The organ of individuality was reef markably defective, as were most of those destined to tale cognizance of the qualities of bodies. His perception of facts, in short, was weak; hence his fine intellectual facul ties had but scanty materials to exercise themselves upon. Others of an opposite character were produced, with the lower series, or knowing faculties, largely !developed, its which admiration and delight resulted from the apparent talents of the possessors. In these examples, however. the experienced phrenologist clearly sees the quick per-. ception of facts, but ill seconded by the reflective powers, and consequent loss of former fame. With reference to this subject, the case of the tv children at present exhibited at the Egyptian Hall musical prodigies, was adduced. These children, it ap pears, were discovered by two phrenologists in an obscure abode. Their musical faculty ascertained, and an educa tion of four months, rendered them almost what they new appear. The development of their heads was contrast, ti with that of the infant Lyra, and an interesting discussieu arose upon their respective excellencies. It tended to show, likewise, the perfect accordance of the faculties me ne. fested with the central organization. The particulars of the case of these children will be made public at a future period. Casts of two brother, were exhibited, illustrating further the influence of organization upon manifestation. One boy, fully developed on the lower region of the fere head, has, during a long period, evinced talent in the ac quisition of first principles, but experiences a difficulty is combining ideas. The other manifests a totally opposi.e character, and, until within the last six months, has even been esteemed stupid and heavy. The application of the principles of phrenology, by calling into action the knowing or perceptive faculties, is already producing most benefiLial effects on this last case. The skull of a female, which had been left at the So ciety on the preceding evening, as a test of phretiologic3l acumen, was also exhibited, and the character of the iud►- vidual predicated. The gentleman - who produced the skull then read the known character of the individue% which was in strict accordance with that predicated front the development. On Saturday a deputation of gentlemen connectea ii`t the silk trade waited by appointanint upon Lord Liverpool, at Fife-house, where they met hts Lordship, the Chancel lor of the Exchequer, the President and Vice-President of the Board of Trade, and Mr. Berries, the Secretary of the Treasury, for the purpose of receiving an answer to cer tain reports which they had delivered respecting the suite of the silk-manufacture of the country as compared with that of the Continent. Messrs. Gibson, Hale, Janes, Bell, Ballance, Morse, IVoollam, Ste. attended. After an interview of more than two hours, during which the va ' rims' topics connemed with these reports were fully and amply discussed, with various degrees of success, as far as regards the present admission or postponement of fortir,rt manufactured silks, the deputation received the uuqua- Med answer of L ead , Liverpool awl his colleagues-, that that they saw no..wmaon whatever for recomnserstling tar Parliament the postponement of the introduction of foreign wrought silks beyond the Sth of July next. -/__ h 0 5 0 fi 0 This day Is published, in 4 vols. 12mo. price IL 4s. boards, EUSTACE FITZ-RICHARD: a, Talc of the Baron's Wars, by the Author of the " Bandit Chief, or Lords of Urvino."
