(Prom the Messages des Chambres of May 18.) Mal PARIS, MAY 17.—Th e Austrian Observer of "` 5 7 9, gives, from the Courier de Smyrne, April 6, 11 ,. ‘ "va from Canea of the 6th and 16th of March. Captain Leblanc, commanding the Actcron brig of w att having arrived at Suda on the Ist of February, • went the next day to Cenci to have a conference • with Mustapha Pacha, the Governor of that fortress. Captain Lebl anc h a d instructions from Adm i ral de „ n i tt'llY to persuade the Pacha to be moderate in em- P°Ying the new f orces w hi c h b e m i ght rece i ve from Egypt, the blockade of the island having been raised •by the French and the English. He was to recom mend to the Pacha no longer to treat as slaves the prisoners whom he might have taken from the Greeks, and ab ove a ll no t to se ll t h em an d sen d then to Egypt, as the Allied Powers could not re main indifferent to the treatment experienced by • thtaae unfortunate i n di v id ua l s , wh o are part o f a peop l e wh om they take under their protection. " The French officer was at the same time corn ' Thissioned t confer with the Greek Chiefs to demon .strate to them the real state of things, and persuade them to put an end •t o a war w hi c h wou ld hence forward have no object, because the President of ' Greece must confine himself to the limits assigned •to the new State by the mediating Powers. Though these limits are considerably extended by the last resolutions of the 22d of March, it is said positively that the island of Candia would remain in the pos se!ision of the Turks. The Paella replied, that he :wish..." nothing so much as to see the return of •• -tranquillity and. peace for all the inhabitants of the :island, from whatever quarter the benefit might 'tome ; that for his part he had employed towards the Greeks all possible methods of moderation and clemency; that not being able to induce the Greek i nsurgents to submit, he had been obliged to employ of but th at to give Admiral de ltigny a proof hof his respect for his wishes, he would suspend all ostilities, and see w h at e ff ect wou ld b e p ro d uce d P o n , the Greeks by the honourable and peaceful 141 siion of Captain Leblanc."

T o THE EDITOR OF A MORNING PAPER. 814, --Hearing that a consideration was demanded for th e us e of the chairs placed within the iron rails in St. da Jatnea's P ar k , by order of his Majesty, for the accommo tion of the public, I determined to ascertain the fact, and Was much surprised to find the statement correct, for, on ing a chair under the trees at the entrance near the 41 nces a lad, apparently about 14 years of a ge , demanded, an authoritativ e tone, one penny of me, and of several • Gentleme n and ladies who were seated in the chin, as the fee for the use of them. At such a demand I was extremely indignant, and deter inined to resist, not fur the sake of saving is penny, had it hall) , been an authorised demand, but to convince the in dividuals present, that no such tribute was required.

We hare received, late this afternoon, the Prussian State Gazette, of the 16th inst., which contains some further accounts of the operations of a portion of the Russian army in the East. More reinforce.. ments are ordered to the Principalities : NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. BERLIN, MAY 15.—The St. Petersburg,: Gazette gives the following account, dated April 24 :—" On the 11th of April three detachments of Turks crossed to the left bank of the Danube, into Little Wallachia, at the villages of Zigaulet and Dessa, and into the vil lage of Rasto. At the first two points they were re pulsed without any loss on our side. At Dissa, in a sharp skirmish with the Cossacks, the Turks had 15 men killed and wounded, and three Cossacks were killed. The attack of the enemy upon the ♦illage of Rasta was more serious ; about 500 men who crossed from the Turkish side in sixteen boats, landed and marched direct to Rasca. Lieut. Pawlowski, who was stationed there with a company of musketeers, formed his 150 men into a small squadron, advanced to meet the enemy, and after having received some volleys from them, charged them with the bayonet and put them to flight ; during the action 41 Turks were killed, and 22 taken prisoners, among whom was the commander, Hassan Effendi Inman, of the mosque of Lonea. Lieutenant Pawlowski, closely pursuing the enemy, reached his boats, and took four of them, six others sunk with the people in them. We had one non-commissioned officer and two privates killed, 125 wounded." According to the latest accounts from Major-General Wachten, who commanded the troops in Sizeboli, the enemy had not repeated his attacks up to the Nth April. Two new redoubts have just been completed, and afford perfect security to the fortress. The Flora frigate, which cruizes off the Channel of Constantinople, returned home on the 17th April, with two transports belonging to the enemy, which it had cap tured. Proper measures have been adopted to prevent, by means of small vessels, the free communication be tween the Channel of Constantinople and the coast of Asia Minor. Accounts worthy of credit confirm from all quarters the preceding accounts of the great want of provisions as well in the Turkish fortress, as in Constantinople. ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY s.—His Majesty has been pleased to address a rescript to Prince Eugene of Wirtem burg, with the insignia of the order of St. Andrew in dia monds, for his distinguished services in the campaign of 1828 ; also to M ijor-General Bebutoff for his admirable defence of Akhalsiff, with the insignia of the order of St. Ann of the first class. The St. Petersburgh Gazette con tains besides a numerous list of promotions and appoint ments. The Neva began to get clear of ice in the night of the 2d May. This morning the guns of the fortress an nounced the re-establishment of the communication be tween the different parts of the city. HAMBURGH, MAY 15.—Letters from Bealystok, the head•qunrters of the army in Lithuania, say that several regiments of that corps had received orders to hold them selves in readiness to march ; they seem intended to rein force the corps of General Sacken, a part of which has gone to the Principalities. AMSTERDAM, MAY 19.—Exchange on London, 12 7 5-10 ; two months, 12. Accounts have been received from Vera Cruz of the 30th March, which are of a more favourable description than the last. Tranquillity has been preserved. General SANTA ANNA has been ap pointed Governor of Vera Cruz. Brussels Papers of yesterday's date have been received this morning. They contain some accounts from the Courier de Smyrne respecting the mission of Capt. La BLANC to Candia, but they are not of a nature sufficiently interesting to.obtain room to-day : VIENNA, MAY 10.—Continuation of the accounts from Candia of 6th and 17th March, extracted from the Courier de Smyrne of sth April : " Captain Leblanc, after receiving the answer of Mus tapha Pacha, had several conferences on board his brig with Baron fteineck, who replied that as he had been sent to Candia by the Greek Government, he could only act ac cording to its instructions, and he had not yet received any coinciding with the mission of Captain Leblanc.' The latter wished to confer with some of the Greek Chiefs who are really Candiots and settled in the island, but he could not allow his object, because the members of the Supreme Council, consisting of individuals who have no thing to do with the real interest of the Candiot Greeks, and only seek to connect themselves by robbery and plun. der, every where put themselves forward. Capt. Leblanc was, therefore, obliged to content himself with his confer ence with Baron Rieneck, and left Suds on the 26th February. Though the mission of this officer has not al lowed the object that Admiral de Rigny proposed, the Turks have committed no hostilities since their sallies of 4th and 7th February, but remain iu their fortresses. This is at all events an alleviation in our situation, which might easily lead to a radical improvement, if it were le solved to employ the means that really exist to put an end to this civil war, the continuance of which seems wholly incompatible with the views of the European Powers, which are exclusively directed to pacification. " MARCH 17.—Captain Leblanc is gone from Suda to Candia to bring a letter from Admiral de Rigny to Suliemaa Paella, the Governor, of the same tenor as that which he had declared to Mustapha, the Governor of Canea. SuLeman Paella's answer is not known. Cap tain Leblanc, on taking leave, was presented by him with a very handsome sabre. Baron Reineck embarked at Castelli a week ago, and has left the island. We hear that the 100 Albanians who composed his body guard went with him. M. Heine, commander of Karabusa, has succeeded Baron Reineck, in his functions, as Consul of the Greeks at Crete. Count Capo D'lstria has therefore not given up the cause, and if he has recalled Baren Rieneck, it is probably because the latter was tired of the life he led here, and of the part which he was obliged to act. Since the Baron's departure perfect anarchy prevails in the Councils of the Cretans arid among the people ; the Baron at least knew how to maintain order among his people ; he chewed real talents, as well in military as civil affairs, and it mu't be said to his honour, that by his mo deration and generosity he mitigated the rigorous orders, the execution of which was entrusted to him. " Colonel Heine, whose character does not stand high even among the Greeks, is expected in the interior of the island, where he is to preside in the Cretan Senate, whose, sole occupation at present is to sell to advantage the oil of last year of which the Turks were robbed. " For some days past we have seen no Russian men-of war on our coast, we therefore hope that they have with drawn, and that the blockade of the island has been raised in consequ-nce of the observations made by Admiral de Rigny to Admiral Heyden. A Turkish corvette, brig, and schooner are at anchor at Suda, under the guns opposite Kaly bce." Bausssur, Mar 17.—Their Royal Highnesses Prince Frederick and his Consort set out for Berlin yesterday morning. It is affirmed that the First Chamber of the States Gene •al, in its sittings yesterday, adopted, almost unanimously, the project of law relative to the press, and refused its assent to the address of the King, transmitted to it by the Second Chamber. The passage of couriers through Berlin, to and from St. Petersburgh, Paris, and London, is again extremely active. May 19.--The Emperor of Morocco has ordered notice to be given to the Consul of the Netherlands at Tangiers, that he has again caused all persons interested in the Mo rocco privateers to respect all ships belonging to the Ne therlands that they may fall in with, and to treat them with all the regard des to I} nation which is one of the most ancient allies of the empire. In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States- General, yesterday, the report of the Central Sec tion of the project of law, against the mixture of poison ous substances in bread, &c. was brought up and read. The President observed, that it was usual to allow of an interval between the receipt of the report and the debate, but as the Section had made no objections to any part of the subject, and as it Was a matter 'that rentrirWowedition he proposed that the discussion should commence imme diately, and the proposed law was agreed to mini manly ($4 Members present), sad ordered to Le seat is the usual form to the First Chamber, which is expected to discuss it in the sitting of to-day. Several Members of the Second Chamber have left this city to-day to return to their homes. Lisbon Papers of the 9th May have been received. It will be seen diet DoN Nltcutzt. has suddenly stopped short in his fit of humanity. Twelve people were to be executed on the 7th, and eleven banished : LisaoN, MAY 3.—On the Ist instant his Majesty visited the camp near Belem where he received the Battalion of Chasseurs, No. 1, which is to go with the expedition to Terceira. The troops, as well as the assembled spectators, received his Majesty with the most lively expressions of loyalty and affection. MAT 4.—His Excellency D. Joaquin Acosta e Monte legre, appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary from his Catholic Majesty to his Most Faithful Majesty, arrived in this city on the 2d of this month. MAY 6.—Yesterday some more of the troops of the expedition to Terceira embarked, and in the evening his Majesty went to the sea side to inspect their embarkation. To-day, at five o'clock in the morning, his Majesty went from the Palace of Quetta, without attendants, to witness the departure of the Don John VI. of the line, and of the Perota frigate (part of the above expedition), which passed the bar with the morning's tide. The other vessels remaining till the evening. Among them is the Princess of Beira, which is going to Goa in the East Indies, touching at Mosambeca. MAY B.—The Correia of Oporto, of the sth of May, contains a P. S. (slated night of the sth of May) to the fidlowing effect :—" By sentence of the 9th of April last, twenty-three prisoners were condemned for participating in the rebellion, which commenced in this city the 16th of May last year; viz.—eleven to be banished for various periods, and twelve to death." This sentence was intimated to them to-day, and will be carried into execution on the 7th inst. Their heads are to he cut off and exposed for three days, some on the gallows, others on elevated posi tions at the places where their crimes were committed. The names of the twelve individuals are annexed. It is reported that the ships in Toulon have re ceived orders to hold themselves in readiness for a new destination, supposed to be Algiers, and that Admiral DE RIGNY is to have the chief command. The following letter has been received from the Agent to the North and South American Coffee house, dated Port Louis, Feb. 25 : " This island was ♦isited with a severe gale of wind on the 9th inst., but as it continued to blow from the same quarter, about N.E., did not amount to a hurricane. The shipping in . the harbour, owing to the prompt measures of the port department in furnishing additional hawsers, did not sustain any injury. The Meteor, Captain Wilson, which had just arrived from Calcutta, with a cargo of rice and wheat, and was lying at the flag buoy, put to sea, and very soon lost her rudder, and drifted towards Bourbon, and was within a mile or two of the reef•, with every prospect of inevitable destruction to all hands, when pro videntially a change of wind drifted her clear of the impending danger. She had at one time six feet water in her hold, and the whole of her cargo is entirely lost. She regained the port on the 21st. The Nerbudda, 600 tons, Captain Patrick, was also lying at the flag buoy, and followed the example of the Meteor in putting to sea, and it has since been ascertained was lately dismasted and had the half of her poop torn away. We have had several arrivals of crippled French vessels from Bourbon, and learn that there the hurricane raged in all its violence, the whole of the eastern side of the island being devastated, and about sixty vessels of different cl asses, which were lying at St. Paul's, St Denis, and theout-ports, haveall experienced in a more or less degree the tremendous effects of the storm, and on the 21st about 20 sail were missing. The Re parateur, Captain Bazin, and La Lose schooner, sunk in sight of St. Denis, and their crews saved by a miracle. The Mary, Dobson, was on her passage up from Bourbon, and was thrown on her beam ends, in which situation she remained several hours, owing to the shifting of her ballast. Two English ships are reported to be in the channel, between this island and Bourbon, totally digs masted ; one of them is reported to be the Harmony, perhaps from Calcutta. At Bourbon several houses were unroofed, some of the bridges carried away, and those vessels which were on the stocks; from the accounts re ceived, it would appear that the hurricane at Bourbon has been equal in violence to that, which this island was visited in 1818." Arrivals .at Port Louis in distress—The Earnest, loaded for France, put in leaky, loss of boats, spars, &c. The Bonne Mere put in leaky, loss of rudder, quarter galleries, boats, &c. _ _ _ The Malyache Montoneer, put in leaky, loss of main and mizen.inast, &e. The La Girond, the stern separated from the main part of the ship, mizen-mast sprung, loss of sails, &c. The L'Amelie leaky, and loss of main-mast, &c. The following had returned to Bourbon with partial loss :—June, Prosper, Le Romillie, Eurydice, and Michel Adolphus. The Eupheniie had nearly foundered, having nearly eight feet water; the Voltigsur spoke the British ship Harmony, completely dismasted ; accounts have been re ceived of her having reached Le Etang safe.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. The Loan CHANCELLOR sat at Westminster to-day. MORRIS V. DAVIS. Upon the application of Mr. SUGURN, the further di rections in this case were ordered to come on peremptorily on the second day of Sittings after the Terra. The COURT proceeded with motions, but nothing of any public importance came before it. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. JUDGMENT.-OPERA HOUSE. CHAMBERS V. WATERS. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat this morn ing, pronounced a most elaborate judgment in this case, which was a bill filed by Mr. Chambers, the late banker (and afterwards carried on by that gentleman's assignees) to compel the specific performance of an agreement. The short facts are as follows :—ln the year 1817, Mr. Waters became the purchaser of the King's Theatre, but in a suit instituted in this Court by Mr. Taylor, that purchase was set aside, and a new sale directed. On the second sale, Mr. Waters was again declared the purchaser at the sum of 70,1501., but being at that time not able to pay the deposit of 6,0001, that sum was advanced by Mr. Chambers, and subsequently he ad vanced another sum of 28,000/., to enable. Waters to complete his contract ; for security of which an assign ment of the theatre was executed by Waters to Chambers. Chambers afterwards, in the year 1821, advanced other sums of money, on the security of a warrant of attorney, and in consequence of a quarrel taking place he entered up judgment, and took possession of the theatre, and the private house of Mr. Waters. In this situation of things the Sheriff's officers in possession refused to permit the performance to go on without the consent of Mr. Chambers, when, on application being made to him, for that purpose, he not only gave his consent, but actually advanced a further sum of 6,0001. to enable the perform ance to go on, and withdraw the execution from the private house of Mr. Waters. Notwithstanding the legal possession of the theatre by Mr. Chambers, he allowed Waters to exercise the sole management. At this time (1821) Waters, in consequence of being outlawed, in an action brought against him by one of the performers, went abroad, and was furnished with a letter of credit by Mr. Chambers. Ile (Waters), however, previously to leav ing this country, empowered a gentleman named Mills to dispose of the theatre, and shortly afterwards a deed of agreement was entered into between Mills and Chambers, whereby the latter became the purchaser of the theatre at the sum of 80,0001., for which he was to deduct the am aunt of his securities, and pay over the balance, and to discharge Waters from all future liabilities. Two months, however, were allowed fir this agreement to be ratified by Mr. Waters, and if he refused his assent it was to be de- Clared null and void ; Waters came privately over to this country, and, in the presence of his son, ratified the agreement between Mills and Chambers. Subsequent ly, however, he refused to complete the agreement, and hence the necessity of Mr. Chambers filing the present bill for a specific performance. By the answer of Mr. Waters he contends that Mr. Chambers had no right to purchase, he being at the time a trustee of the property. His Honour thought there was nothing in this objection, for if Chambers was a trustee he never acted in that capacity, and there could be no doubt he held an equitable security, and could have compelled Waters to sell. Another objection was that the price was too low, and it wax stated that when Mr. Ebers was in negociation for the pur chase of the theatre for a nobleman, that Chambers refused to let it be sold under the sum of 103,0001., and that the boxes might be so let as to produce a rent of 17,6001. Now, he (the Vice-Chancellor) was of opinion that there was no evidence that ever a larger sum had been offered than 80,000/, and the profits from 1818 to 1825, not at all increasing; that the price agreed to lie given by Mr. Chambers was a fair price ; there could be no doubt but that Mills was authorised to act for Waters, therefore, the evidence had totally failed to support the defendant's case. With respect to that part of the evidence of Walters, alleging that there was a conspiracy be tween Chambers, Mayhew, and Mills to oppress him, his Honour thought it was quite the other way, for Waters never could have paid the deposit when he became the purchaser of the theatre, or made good the sulsequent p iyments, had it not been for the kindness of Mr. Chambers. And, again, in the year 1820, when Mr. Chambers put an execution into the theatre, had he proceeded to sale, the performance must have stopped, and Waters would have been reduced to beggary. In his opinion Chambers throughout the whole business had acted with the greatest kindness to Waters. On the whole of the case, therefore, he was decidedly of opinion that the evidence in support of the defendant's case had alto gether failed, and the Court in consequence felt bound to decree a specific performance of the agreement of 1821, according to the prayer of the bill, and to order that Waters pay all the costs up to the time of bearing, except those of Mr. Taylor's executors. By this decision the Opera-house will come int) the possession of the assignees of Mr. Chambers's bankruptcy. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

[Note.—The words printed in Italics are proposed to be inserted in the Committee.] Whereas an Act was passed in the sixth year of his pre sent Majesty King George the Fourth, intituled f‘ An Act to make further provisions for the regulation of Cotton Mills and Factories, and for the better preservation of the health of young persons emp!oyed therein," And whereas the provisions of the said Act have been defeated and set aside for want of form ; be it therefore enacted, by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Tem poral, and Commons, in this present Parliament assem bled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after the passing of this 4ct, it shall not he deemed necessary to include in any information, summons, or warrant, issued in puruance of the said recited Act, to set ftrth the name or other designation of each and every the partners in the Cotton Mill or Factory, but that it shall be lawful to insert in such information, summons, or warrant, time na►ne of the ostensible proprietor, or title of the firm by which the pro prietor or proprietors of any such Mill or Factory are usually designated and known. THE KING V. COOKE. Sir J. SCARLETT appeared to show cause against a rule Nisi obtained by the Solicitor-General for a man damus against several noblemen and gentlemen, composing the vestry of Paddington, directing them to appoint a Nur,- veyor, to survey, in conjunction with a surveyor ap pointed by the owners of the soil of the Grand function Canal. The question was one of great importance, being whether the parish authorities were imperativtly directed by the sth Geo. IV. cap. 6, to repair all roads, from the parish rates, before the houses in the line of such roads shall be sufficiently rateable to defray the expense, or whether the terms of the Act left them the option of doing so or not, according to their own discretion. The Act directed, that upon any roacds being made by proprietors, the parish should be empowered to appoint a surveyor to survey such roads in conjunction with a surveyor, appointed by the proprietor, and to decide whether they are sufficiently f mmed to sethorise the parish in keeping them in repair. In the event of such surveyors disagreeing, they must appoint another surveyor to decide, The Learned Counsel contended, that there being at pre sent only seven rateable houses on the road, the burden of keeping the road in repair, which would cost 4.091. pee annum, should not fall upon the parish, ae, the rales of the houses produced only 371. Rer annum, That the road wae only intended to convey materials for building on the line of the above road, and that as it was only for the benefit of the proprietors and building speculation, the Ves try were justified in refusing to appoint a surveyor to cer tify that it was in sufficient repair. Mr. GURNEY and Mr. PLATT followed on the same side, The SO LICITOR-Gnituat. (With whom were Mr. AL pfasorf and' Mr . . Dttoneatcx) contended that the road had alreadylbeen adopted by the parish, by their surveyor having made directions as to drains and sewers, and threatened dictments for obstructing the footway, and 1,14 the road had been li g h te d b y a Gas Comjany under a contract with the Vestry. It Was a l so `C on te n ded that the road w as a consider a bl e t h oroughfare and a great advantage to the public. Lord TENT/ MORN said that the ease. was of considerable importance Isot t l i to pariahes and the public from the num bey of r.:!av buildings in almost every parish, and before the Mr. HERRIES entertained the Ca Mi- Court prono unce d their judgment they thought it neces- ters to dinner yesterday evening, at his residence in net Great nary to look into the Act.—Judgment deferred. George -street. And be it further enacted, that the service of such sum mons or warrant on any principal manager, conductor, or clerk of :Illy Cotton Mill or Factory, during the usual hours of working. such Cotton Mill or Factory, shall be good and lawful service. And be it further enacted, that no information filed, nor any summons or warrant served as directed by the said recited Act, or by this Act, shall be quashed for infayma lity or want of form.

MEETING OF SPITALFIELDS WEAVERS Yesterday evening, about five o'clock, a simultaneon meeting of about 5,000 silk weavers took place in Hare street Fields, Bethnal-green, and, upon intimation brill given to Mr. Bassett, the Magistrate at Worship 'ore Police-office, he, at the head of the police officers, :mister' by a large body of the Bow-street patrol, repaired to • pl ice and apprised the meeting that he could not suffer it to take place in the open air, and recommended them To return to their respective homes in quietness. The weavers gave the Magistrate three cheers, and said that a meeting they would have, and instantly left the field, and pro ea:tied in a body, observing the greatest regularity, to Temple-mills, in Essex, where they procured the use of a field from a Mr. Brigg, and on entering it they formed thernselvesinto a circle, the first rowsitting, for the purpose of " not breaking the ring." They did not appoint either Chairman or Secretary, and alter several speakers were heard, they came to the following Resolutions :- Ist. That there be a general strike against those masters who refuse to pay within one penny per yard of the book own their n t prices (which was their awn offer), and who will not con t.nue to give out canes at that price. 2d. That the works of those masters who refuse to pay i t n he ti s ie tip f u n l l a ln te w d in p g ric ebesealed each sh i o manner—v ia ,to small divi s ions, e a ch division mutually sealing each other's work. Cle to th ßl e i m 'd i nto divide 3d. That no cane-spreader be allowed to turn on a cane without a printed certificate, to prove that it is at the right price, on pain of being excluded from the trade. 4th. That every shop meeting do assemble the follow ing (this) morning, at their respective places, for the pur pose of carrying into effect the foregoing Resolutions. sth. That the Meeting do adjourn until two o'clock the next (this) day, and to meet in the fields at Hare street, to go from thence in a body to Temple Mills. The Meeting then returned in abedy by fouts,observing the same regularity and peaceable demeanour, and arrived in Bethnal-green a little after ten o'clock last night, they then proceeded to Spital-square, and gave their masters three heavy groans, and quietly separated. Tuts IlloextNc.—The weavers met at their respective shop meetings, and the principal part of them came to the determination of sending deputies to their employers, to know if they will accede to the prices preparatory to the works being sealed. TWELVE o'CLoctc.—An unexpected meeting of the de legates is called at the Crown and Anchor, in Waterloo Town? and it is said the object is, if possible, to prevent the field meeting taking place at two o'clock.

On Tuesday evening Mrs. ASHTON, t h e proprietress of the I3erners Hotel, us she was paes;*og along Berners-street, had her attention attracted by th e cry i ng of au interesting looking boy, about the age of ten years, who was seated at a door step.

The first child was Apparently full-grown and alive, though it soon after expired; the next two were the size of children is the Seventh month. They also expired immediately after they were born. After these two the female was de livered of four children not exceeiiing three inches long, but with the limbs sufficiently (armed. The four embryos were enclosed in a kind c i f tack. Three children are emu mon enough ; four, even five, we believe have been known, but seven is unparalleled in the history of secouchernents, —Morni*g Paper. ANECDOTE OF THE LATE GEN. IIMON FRASER, WHO was xxLmtn AT THE BATTLS Or SARA-. TOGA, IN Augarca, 1777.—Sometime 'Oetween the years, 1755 and 1760, a certain tall fierc;:,-Itoking Captd;, - . 1 was the bul!y of the Argyle Coffee-:nouse; he had the charac ter of being an exce ll ent awardsmon, and his m enac i ng air had made him the terror of all the young officers. One cold afternoon, as he was sitting with some half-a doter, young officers by the fire, himself occupying the beat seat, he suddenly rose up, took off his cocked hat, laid it down upon his chair, and, swearing a tremen dous oath, added, that he who moved that hat mu,t fight him ;he then left the room. Captain, afterwards General I<:il4A,lEn, (son of the late ALEXANDER Faasra, Ralain) entered the room shortly after, lifted the hat from off the chair, laid it on the table, and took the vacant teat. On this, one of the officers, who had heard the ' fighting Captain's denunciation, asked FRASER if he knew to whom the hat helonged. He said he did not, and was told that it was Captain hat, and that he had said that he who moved it must fight him. " Did he." acid FRASER, who was an exee,lient swordsman. (hav ing been bred in France), 4 4 did he," and , rising up, he very coolly liftedthe bat off th e t a b le, and laid it on the fire. The bully i - eturne?, in time to get a glimpse of the remains of his ill -fated chapeau as it disap rared amid rue burning embers, and, advancing into the middle of the room, he, with a martial strut and voice of thunder, demanded, 4 ' 'Who did this?" . 4 I did it," re plied FRASER, with a sardonic grin, but continuing to keep his seat in front of the grate r --.' I did it " " You did it, Sir !" said the bully, giving a trem-nduus @tr i p with .his foot, and liking as if he would annihilate FRASXR. " Yes, I did it, Sir." On this, the hero of the Argyle Military Coffee-1:m.1,e exclaimed, " Then the wan that can do this, can do anything ;" and, turning r.mnd ttpMi his heel, he made a speedy exit, and was never to be seen again in that quarter of the city. —Liverpool liGivn.
