[silt, which be hoped they would well consider before they passed sentence upon the defendants. The latter had eertainly promised the Society that they would desist from the sale if the prosecution were abandoned, but that the Society gave them no answer as to their intentions, and kep t the prosecution /a terrorem over their heads, which reduced them to despair, and may account for continuing the sale. At present, however, they begged humbly to Submit to any terms the Society might impose, and to any s'curity that the Court might think proper to order, that they would not continue the publication. Mr. Justice BAILIT delivered the sentence of the Court. No.man, he observed, could look at the publications in question and say that they would not produce the Worst effects on the morals of society. The Court had well considered the affidavits in mitigation. It appeared that the defendants had wives and families.— How such a crime would outrage the feelings of a wife, who felt as she ought, he need not mention ; but what could the defendants say in respect to their daughters, who were, perhaps, on some future day, to be corruptad through the instrumentality of these works, and perhaps have to thank their respective fathers for the dreadful situation in which they may be placed. The defendants had said that they were in bad health ; but it would be Well for persons in that situation to consider what such a state might end in. The sentence of the Court was, that the defendants be severally fined in the penalty of 501. each; to be each imprisoned, for the space of 'six calendar Months, in the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields ; to give securities, themselves in the sum of 2001. each, and to end, two securities, each in the sum of 501. ; and to be fur ther imprisoned till thes e fin e s he p a id, an d th ese secu rities provided for their good behaviour for two years.

The defendant was convicted on the evi dence, in cross examination, on the trial of Cooper and I Vakley in this place. The defendant put in a great number of affidavits from Clergymen magistr a t es , pr i vate gent l emen, an d surgeons o f * neiglibourhood of Thorney, who all spoke in the highest ter ms of the defendant's moral integrity, and stated that A the ' f ' l4 * . of the d e f en d an t h as a f am il y o f n i ne c hild ren - l ie ndant on his exertions, and that at the time when the defendant obtained his certificate, his father was labouring ender a dangerous fit of illness.

SIR,—In your Paper of the 17th instant, it appears under the head of " Police News," at Union-Hall, that a stout well-looking man, surrendered himself at that office DB a deserter (stating that at the time of his desertion, he was a Serjeant) from the Second Division of Royal Marines, stationed at Chatham, I have therefore tore mark that this must be a mistake, as there has not been a Serjeant deserted from the Chatham Division (which is the First, and not as erroneously stated in your Paper . the Second, that being stationed at Portsmouth) for many Years, neither has a Private of that name deserted. As re gards the statement made of persecution on the part of the Sergeant-Major, I have, as a non-commissioned officer bearing that rank, to express my gratitude to the Magis trate (before whom the case was brought) for his opinion on the subject ; as to those who serve under Colonel Savage, the Commandant of the Division stationed at Chatham, it is evident the soldier's wrongs, when made known, never pass unredressed. I therefore beg you will contradict the statement alluded in your next Paper. I am Sir, Your most obedient and very humble Servant, &WITHERS ALDIS, Nov. 18, 1629.

IN THE MATTER OF SMALL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sitt,—We hive read with surprise the report in this matter, contained in your Paper of yesterday. The statements reported to have been made by Counsel, reflect ing on the conduct and character of us (the executors of the will of John Small, deceased), are entirely false, and we cannot pass by the report without giving these state ments the most full and fiat contradiction. The proceeding was ex.parte, and the first knowledge we had of it was from the newspapers, consequently we had no opportunity of repelling the charges then made against us ; and, until these can be met in their proper place, we avail ourselves of the present mode of contradiction as the only measure we have of counteracting any influence that your report may have on our immediate connexions. Trusting, there fore that you will give this letter insertion in your columns, We remain, Sir, your obedient servants, SAMUEL DAVIS, Nor. 18, 1829. JOHN LOCKETT. [Our Reporter Mated nothing but what fell from the Counsel.] LITERATURE. THE LANDSCAPE ANNUAL.-LONDON, 1829. This is a very costly and tasteful annual, whose illustrations, which are various and highly finished in the first style of art, from designs furnished by Mr. Prout, are alone worth the price paid for the entire volume. Some of the choicest land scapes on the Continent—the enchanting view of Lago Maggr, oni, with its cluster of Barrornean islands, immortalized by the fancy and descriptive powers of Rousseau and a hundred other writers ; the Lake of Como, with its sparkling variety of palaces, terraces, and smiling rustic villages ; Argue, famous for the ashes of Pe trarch, minus, however, the left arm ; Chilton, with its precipitous ridge of mountains rushing boldly down to the lake, on whose edge stands the well-known prison of Bonnevard, which Byron has consecrated to posterity : Verona, never to be forgotten while an admirer of " Juliet and her Romeo" is in existence ; Geneva, with its happy and bustling appearance, and with the snowy Alps in the back-ground ; Venice, with its Rialto, the Bridge of Sighs, and its various assemblage of gondolas ; these delightful scenes, together with a variety of others less celebrated, indeed, but nearly, if not quite, as beautiful, are here represented to our eyes as seated by our parlour fire-side we turn over the pages of this splendid annual. But, independently of the embellishments, the literary department of the work, under the active and intelligent superin tendence of Mr. T. Roscoe, demands no incon siderable share of praise. It consists of remarks and descriptions explanatory of the different en gravings, together with such accounts, in the style of local historiettes, that may serve to refresh the reader's recollection. Byron is, of course, very frequently alluded to, especially in connec tion with Venice, over which his intellect has thrown such a halo of glory, little, if at all, in ferior to that imparted to it by Shakspeare and Otway. We wish the enterprising publisher every success that this magnificent speculation entitles him to ; premising at the same time our firm conviction, that such success cannot but be such as will gratify his most sanguine expectations. Sir M. W. RIDLEY and his family arrived safe at Nice, the latter end of last month, after a very din gerous and difficult journey over the Alps, out of Switzer land. Lady RIDLEY has received great benefit from the change of climate, and great hopes are entertained of he r Ladyship's being able to return to England quite well in the course of the ensuing spring. It iS said that PHILIP DAVIES COOKE, Esq. of Owston Park, in Yorkshire, and GwyPaney Hall, Flintshire, is shortly to lead to the hymeneal altar the Honourable Lady HELENA KING, the accomplished daughter of the Right Honourable the Earl of KINGSTON, Viscount KINGSEOROUGH, &c. A fine specimen of that rare and beautiful British bird, the Great Northern Diver (Colymbus Glaci alis, Lin), was shot at Embledon Marsh, in Northumber land, early this month, and has since been presented to the Natural History Society of Newcastle. A SLIGHT MISTAKE.—A lady who had been plaintiff in a cause tried on Saturday last in the Vice- Chancellor's Court was so chagrined at judgment being given against her that she exclaimed in open Court, "They (the defendants) are perjured ten thousand times !" " You are mistaken, my dear madam," observed a wag who was standing by, " only 9,999 times !" The opposition packet from this town to Lincoln, called the Duchess of St. Alban's, has ceased running. Whether this be temporary, or a total abandon ment of the design, we have not !darned; but at any rate the Duohess is locked up for the present. —. Boston Gazette. There are a set of disreputable individuals called libel hunters, who are well known among the legal fraternity. These gentry, with a view of getting their costs, induce simple plaintiffs to bring actions for libel, who inconsiderately listen to their sinister advice. In many instances the plaintiffs are nonsuited ; but should they not, and get forty shillings damages, it would not cover their own expense. The libel hunter then pounces on his client for the balance, and if not able to pay, he it thrown into prison, to ruminate on his credulity and folly. The Mona steamer is new engaged bringing up live stock, corn, and provisions, from Kilrush, for market in Limerick. She landed, on Wednesday after noon, at Kiggell's Quay, above 100 firkins of butter, a quantity of corn in bags, and 95 live pigs. It must be a great advantage to farm( ra and merchants, that, in about five hours, this superior vessel can accomplish a passage of nearly 50 miles, when in the usual sail boats it frequently occupied two or three days. A plan is in agitation for the formation of a float at the part of Bridgewater, with a canal from thence to Combwitcb, which will enable vessels of from 300 to 600 tons burthen to come close up to Bridgewater. A meeting has taken place, and a Company has been formed, who have appointed Mr. Jassor the;r engineer. An application to Parliament for that purpose is also in it state of terwardness, and will most probably be presented early in the next session, so that we may now calculate with some degree of eertainty on seeing this desirable object completed...—.E.retcr Alfred WINDSOR, Nov. !0 Yesterday forenoon the I Joke I , f WEI t.t,e; roN arrieoai at the Royal Lodge; ientnediatear on his at liv i I ie Gi we. was introduced to his MA.res - tv, with who►n he had the honour of a long audience.

We have great pleasure in quoting the following simple and affecting lines from the pen of Miss CAROLINE BOWLES : My baby! my poor little one! thou'st come a winter flower,— A pale and tender blossom, in a cold, unkindly hour; • ' Thou eomest with the snow-drop—and, like that pretty thing, The power that called my bud to life, will shield its blossoming. The snow-drop hath no guardian leaves, to fold her safe and warm, Yet well she bears the bitter blast, and weathers out the storm; I shall not long enfold thee thus—not long,—but well I know The Everlasting arms, my babe, will never let thee go ! The snow-drop—how it haunts me still!—hangs down her fair young head, So thine may droop in days to come, when I have long been dead ; And yet the little snow-drop's safe!—from her instruction seek, For who would crush the motherless, the lowly, and the meek? Yet motherless thou'lt not be long—not long in name—my life! Thy father soon will bring him home another, fairer wife; Be loving, dutiful to her ;—tind favour in her sight; But never, oh my child ! forget thine own poor mother quite. But who will speak to thee of her ?—the gravestone at her head Will only tell the name and age, and lineage of the dead : But not a word of all the love—the mighty love for thee, That crowded years into an hour of brief maternity. They'll put my picture from its place, to fix another there, — That picture that was thought so like, and yet so passing fair! Some chamber in thy father's house they'll let thee call thine own ; Oh ! take it there—to look upon, when thou art all alone!— To breathe thine early griefs unto—if such assail my child; To turn to, from less loving looks, from faCes not so wild. Alas! unconscious little one l—thou'it never know that best, That holiest home of all the earth, a living mother's breast ! I do repent me now too late, of each impatient thought, That would not legthe tarry out God's leisure as I ought ; I've been too hasty, peevish, proud—l longed to go away ; And now I'd fain live on for thee, God will not let me stay. Thoul't have thy father's eyes, my child!—oh ! once how kind they were! His long black lashes—his own smile, and just such raven hair; But here's a mark—poor innocent !—he'll love thee for't the less, Like that upon thy mother's cheek his lips were wont to press. And yet, perhaps, I do him wrong—perhaps, when all's forgot But our young loves, in memory's mood,—he'll kiss the very spot. Oh, then, my dearest ! clasp thine arms about his neck full fast, And whisper that I blessed him now, and loved him to the last. I've heard that little infants converse by smiles and signs, With the guardian band of angels, that round about them shines, Unseen by grosser senses,—beloved one! dolt thou Smile so upon thy heavenly friends, and commune with them now Oh ! when I think of what I was, and what I might have been— A bride last year,—and now to die! and I am scarce nineteen ; And just, just opening in my heart a fount of love, so new, So deep!—could that have run to waste? could that have failed me too? The bliss it would have been to see my daughter at my side! My prime of life scarce overblown, and her's in all its pride; To deck her with my finest things—with all I've rich and rare ! To hear it said—" How beautiful ! and good as she is fair !" And then to place the marriage crown upon that bright young brow! Oh no ! not that—'tis full of thorns! alas, I'm wandering now. This weak, weak head! this foolish heart! they'll cheat me to the last : I've been a dreamer all my life, and now that life is past. And hast thou not one look for me ? those little restless eyes Are wandering, wandering every where, the while thy mother dies ; And yet—perhaps thou'rt seeking me—expecting me, mine own ! Come, death, and make me to my child at least in spirit known ! The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE came to town yesterday morning, from their residence in Bushy Park. The Duchess visited the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA, at the King's Pilace at Kensington, and also paid a ♦isit to the Princess SOPHIA. The Prin cess accompanied the Royal Duchess on her return to her residence in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE returned to Bushy Park in the afternoon. The American Minister and the Earl of ABERDEEN had interviews with the Duke of WELLINGTON yesterday, at the Treasury. The 'Sardinian Minister transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office, with the Earl of ABER DEEN. Colonel COCKBURN has left town for Hon duras (of which Colony he has been appointed Comman der), to enter on his official duties. The Duke of WELLINGTON left town yes terday for the seat of the Marquis of SALISBURY at Hat field, Herts. The Noble Marquis entertained a select' party to dinner yesterday. Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD left town on a visit to Sir Joinc HOPIC, at his country seat. The Rev. JOHN GUNN, A.M., has been col lated to the Vicarage of Barton Turf with the Rectory of Iratead annexed, in the gift of the Lord Bishop of Nox wicie. We learn from good authority that a mar riage is projected in the legal circles between Mr. LATI.• TAT, a gentleman well-known, and of the strictest in tegrity, and the lion. Miss CAPIAS, of the Court of Com mon Pleas. It is reported that an alliance between the families has long been deemed a desirable object, but it remained for a celebrated member of the Bar to perform the agreeable duty of introducing the parties. Some de lay has taken place in the arrangements by long discus sions between the mutual friends who have been appointed to arrange the terms of the settlement to be made on the occasion. We have been informed, however, that the utmost cordiality has existed on this delicate subject, and it has at length been stipulated that the great bulk of the ancient family estates shall be entailed on the eldest son of the union, who is to be called by the name of SUM MONS—the title of a Noble relative, who has, for many years, been connected with several Members of both Houses of Parliament.--A Learned Judge, who has been recently appointed, has given his entire sanction to the terms of the arraugement. It is rumoured that the wed ding will take place early in the spring, and that it will be solemnized at St. Stephen's Chapel. Messrs. Ser geants BosArictuer and STEPHEN are to give the bride away. Mr. LATITAT, as soon as he can conveniently be sp wed from the duties of his office, will retire from public life to enjoy his otium cum dignitate, together with several other members of his venerable family. The profession, and the public at large, will be gratified to hear of the connection of so old and valuable a public servant as Mr. LATITAT with a lady whose feelings and habits are so peculiarly congenial to his 0wn,....- Morning Herald.

FIGHT between DICK HILL, the Nottinghim Cham pion, and JEM MAPPING, the Sheffield Grinder, at Merton, fourteen miles, from Newark. The state of the London ring has latterly been so cross, that little interest and less confidence has been creeated when a tip-top mill is on the tapir, than a torte-qs' of the most ordinary description. To name a fight within the purlieus of the Fives court, and since the Tennis -court, is sufficient to stall off all patrons, and every one pronounces it to he a certainty that if he bets he will find himself ward in chancery. This feeling has not yet infected the country patrons, and Dick Hill never having shown a disposition to lose his temper and his battle by being cross, confidence has always been high, and his friends and patrons numerous; for seven battles he has been conqueror, and as the number seven partakes of something magical, such as the seven wonders, seven golden candlesticks, and seven champions, Dick is determined to continue his rank among the latter. The Nottingham lads were full of complaints, and much disordered, when it was reported that the mill was to take place near Ship• field, all being anxious to witness their pet, parti cularly as upon the result of the battle it was said he was to be matched with a fair combatant—a wife. Mapping had fought before with a man of the name of Thorpe, and had been crowned with victory, which made himjustlyaspira to higher fistic honours. Hill's name had sounded loud in Yorkshire, and the Tykes were all anxious to pluck the laurels from Nottingham ;—so far the history of the match : now to the scene of action, though we must travel to it before we reach there. The light of day had scarcely appeared when the movements commenced, and the surrounding towns, as soon as it was rightly ascer tained when the midi was to work, were all in mo tion. The horsemen exceeded the number we have ever seen before, the roads were thronged with them ; the bipeds of all deseriptions, including the heroines of the day, pressed forward for the fray ; and Sherwood Forest was again to be the scene of battle, and aided by the Sherwood rangers. On our arrival at 011erton we found Dick had been housed at Wombwell's Menagerie, the keeper of which took special care to announce Dick as the tamest, yet boldest lion he had had for some time. Mapping was.at Elksley, about three miles from 011erton.— Reports were now industriously circulated, that in formation had been given to the Beaks, and that there would be no fight ; the informer was said to be the son of Parkiss, but yet no belief was placed in it, and all moved off. The clock had not struck twelve when Dick arrived upon the ground, and in stantly doffed his castor, and threw it into the ring; he was loudly cheered, and seemed very confident. The report was revived—Mapping did not appear —messengers were dispatched ; and the announce merit was made that the beaks had, accompanied by what we shall term the Baron Grabbems, visited the logement of Mapping; and that he had jumped out of the window and made his escape, but was on the road. For a time, this quieted Dick's friends, who declared the time to have expired, arid that they had the right to claim the money ;—in this they were opposed by the pink of politeness, Ned Stockman, who declared that Magesty interference was always permitted, allowed, admitted, to be a good and sefficient and valid excuse—for, said Ned, "if he can't come, why how can he come?" This argument, from the lips of so accomplished a logi cian as Ned, was quite conclusive, and all remained again quiet, except that, now and then, some unruly knave called out " York you're wanted." While in this state of suspense, who should make their appear ance but two dressed in little (smock frocks), brief authority, bearing a warrantry, so they said, to seize, and take the Champion and Mapping : the report now was verified—Dick, like a good general, retired, and Mapping, like another, had not arrived—a council was called, and the members thereof repaired to the White Hart, 011erton, to prepare for a move, when a telegraphic dispatch announced the arrival of Mapping on the ground ; but a few minuto elapsed, ere all were again in the field, and, not withstanding the warrantry, the warranters being present, a fight, and nothing but a fight, was the order of the day. Mapping, cloathed in a cloak, now entered, and attempted to throw his castor in the ring, but by some ill luck it fell outside of the ropes. Betting was six to four on Dick and the takers shy. It is usual at sessions, assemblies, and other public meet ings, to notice the nobs,—we beg to announce that there were present, the Chairman of the Retford sessions, on duty to prevent the fight ; the Baron Grabbems, as the officers of the county, to order them to desist from fighting. And among the counsel wen, Mr Phil. Sampson, who was spe cially retained for the occasion ; Mr. Snob, from Chelsea, who was to read all he knew to Mapping; Mr. Gas, who was to throw a light upon it ; Mr. Robinson, all the way from Yorkshire; Mr. Stock man,and several others of the cognoscenti well worsed in sAience: and Bob Coates, who has proved that one good pair of heels is worth two pair of hands. In the absence of Fogo, Harry Potter was appointed country commissariat, who pitched the ropes in ex cellent order. The number present could not be less than 8000 people. FIGHT. Upon stripping, Dick looked well, his skin was free from blotches, and he appeared altogether in prime con dition. Mattpin.f, we thought, had been with Dr. Lush ington during the morning, but it was denied ; he is a fine muscular young man, and possesses a cheerful smiling countenance. Although he was fleshy he was nothing puffy; he appeared to be in excellent condition, and feel ing capable of taking the pride from Nottingham. At five minutes to two the choice of umpires and referees had been settled. Time was called and all was right. Round 1. Both came smiling ; Dick placed himself in his usual attitude, as if bent upon mischief, his right leg out, and his left hand ready for execution ; Mapping stood well upon his legs, his attitude was good, but his left arm was fore-shortened, so as to prevent his guarding his head ; both sparred, neither anxious to commence; Dick saw a good size man before him, and Mapping a good tried man before him; Mapping all confidence; " Go to work," said Phil ; " Be quiet," said the Chelsea Snob, " he has enough work to do ;" still sparring ; Dick made a feint, York all alive; Dick hit out, Mapping stopped ; " Go to work," said Phil; " Recollect what the Captain said," said Mapping to Phil ; both made play, but both cau tious, and one two exchanges; no harm done; fourteen minutes before the first blow ; Mapping all alive and con fident ; Dick as usual ; both wary, Dick evidently eyeing Mapping's conk ; Mapping hit out, Dick got away, and smiling, returned to his spot ; " Grind away," said Ro binson, " you'll soon grind him ;" " He'll be ground," said Snob, " too soon fur him ; who has he licked ? here, Win terflood, hold your tongue, he's only tit for a cook's shop." Dick seemed now to be tired of this dancing about, and !dapping was as cautious; Dick hit out, caught Mapping on his claret, the cork flew out, the claret run, and Map ping was down, and, like his hat, over the ropes. The hill echoed again with the Nottingham cheers.—This round lasted twenty-five minutes. 2. Mapping's snuff-box had now a red streamer, but he came up smiting, and none eown ; Dick was now doubly confident ; " Go to work," said Phil., " that's all you have to do ;" Mapping hit out, but short, he measured his distance badly ; Di c k was s till cautions ; " What are you a:," said the Pi n k o f F as hi on , " Sinffiekre in mourning ;" Dick hit with his right, Mapping stopped with his wrist, and countered ; Dick tried his left, but Mapping was awake ; Dick again rose up, York alive; both hit out, some sharp exchanges•; the Grinder let fly, caught Dick in the bo3y, arid he liom the Sheffielders.) This round 1,1te,l ttvelve min qtr=. 8. Bath (.tine smiling and e aoident, and both anxious to fight; Dick hit. out, caught Ma d ping ag.in over the smeller, which made the whole pimple shake ; none abated, he went to work ; some sharp exchanges in favour of Dick, who hit a tremendeui body blow; Mapping hit short, and he seemed " pipi tg all hands a hoy !" Dick _ _ . - hit out right and left ; Mapping stopped hint; but it was with his head ; York hit roand, caught Dick upon the place where they hit bullocks, and made a little impres sion; Dick again caught him, sad Mapping fell—seven minutes. 4. Cautious sparring ; Dick hit out, but short ; Map ping tried to draw him on, but Dick was too down; Dick made a lunge with his left, whidi was well-sopped by Mapping, who hit out with his right, and some sharp ex changes took place, in which Dick had caught Mapping over the head's opera glass ; Mapping, never flinching, «told like a game cock, as sharp as a razor, and followed Dick; he hit out with his right, which told a tale; Dick was now at the ropes, but Map,iing lost the golden oppor tunity in not following quickly up, and Dick got away ; some sharp exchanges took plaite, and Dick fell.—(Cheers from the Razor Grinders.) 5. Mapping seemed to gain fresh confidence; Dick ready; Mapping again hit short, Dick took advantage, and let fly plump between the two ogles ; some rapid ex changes, and each hit out one two, and York was floored. 6. Mapping made play, and his knuckles and Dick's head belonged to the holy alliance, Mapping bleeding pro fusely, yet game as a biddy; Dick retreated, Mapping fol lowed, and Dick down on the ropes. 7. Dick hit away right and left ; Mapping abroad ; Dick caught him, fibbed away; Mapping's head in vice Chancery; Mapping fell. 8. This round ay in favour of Dick, but York was al ways there when he was wanted ; Mapping down. 9. This was one of the best fought rounds, Mapping's face was one mass of blood, but he fought bravely, and in a dose both fell. 10. Both men fatigued, Dick without a mark, deter mined to win; Mapping a good receiver; Dick charitable, gave all he asked ; some sharp hitting; Dick hit out, but missed ; Mapping tried to return it. but was weak ; Dick again hit, but missed ; Mapping hit out, but, as usual, short : Dick slipped, and fell without a blow—foul! fair ! fair ! foul ! now reiterated all through the ring ; and the Chelsea Snob, Robinson, and Mapping, claimed the battle, and with magic step left the ring. No decision having been made, the umpires were appealed to—one de clared fair, the other had left with Mapping; the referee was appealed to over and over again; he refused to give an opinion until he heard the opinion of the umpires; at length the umpire returned, and they differed—one de claring it foul, the other fair. The referee then stated his full conviction, that the fall was accidental, not inten tional; he, therefore, pronounced it fair, upon which Dick left the ring.—The battle lasted an hour and fire minutes. REMARKS.—Of Dick Hill very little need be said, he has fought so many battles; he fights as usual, but in this fight he Was much more cautious than when he fought Winterflood ; he calculated he had some work — to do, and he was not deceived. Mapping is a well-grown muscular young man; courageous, game, cool, and determined; his science does not seem great; be has but little guard over his head; and he measures his distance badly, but time will improve him ; he tired himself by throw ing his hits away, which, against an experienced fighter like Dick Hill, told with double tale. The situation of referee is a difficult one; in this case after the decision was given, the most experienced risen of the ring, who witnessed the fight, declared the decision correct. It occasioned much surprise that the Chelsea man should have taken Mapping off the ground before a decision ; had he staid the battle might have continued. Mapping is a good customer for Dick, and should they again fight, which we suppose they mast, the odds will not be so great. Mapping is a _brave man, and Dick is a rum customer. THE ARMY. Detachments belonging to the 7th (the Royal Fusi leers), the 85th (the King's Light Infantry) Regiment, and the second battalion of the Rifle Brigade, embarked on Tuesday on board the Neva transport, at Portsmouth, for Malta. The right wing of the Sd Battalion of the Grenadier Regiment of Guards, now stationed at Brighton, expects to he ordered forthwith to return to Windsor. The amount of the land forces voted for the service of the year 1829 was 89,723 men, exclusive of the men employed by the East India Company. The sum voted for the whole ex pences of the army, including every charge connected with it, was 6,336,2311. The British Army is composed of one hundred and three battalions. About twenty of these are in the service and pay of the East India Company, and fifty-four more are disposed of in the Colonies. Four battalions, on the average, are constantly on their passage to relieve the Regiments on foreign sta tions, leaving 25 Battalions (exclusive of the Guards) for the set vice of the United Kingdom. The casualties in the army, according to Sir 11. Hardinge's estimate, amount to about one-eleventh or one-twelfth of the whole forces annually. The Mutiny Bill underwent an alteration in the Session of 1829 The clauses, which used to amount to 163, are now condensed to 77, and the Bill is rendered more concise and plain. It enables General Commanding Officers in a District to order District Courts-martial in stead of Regimental Courts-martial. The oath is the same for all Members of Courts-martial. A detachment belonging to the 47th (Lancashire) Re giment of Foot, has received orders to embark this morn ing on board a vessel in the river, on route to Edinburgh and Glasgow. FROM A Co RRESPONDENT.—The alterations that are so extensively taking place in the uniforms of the Army, in substituting embroidery instead of lace, is a more extensive evil than many imagine, as it is well known the greater part of the embroidery used in the dress of the Eng lish Army is executed by foreigners. If the encourage. ment is continued it will deprive our own countrymen, the gold and silver lace manufacturers, of the means of sup porting their families, who must therefore become a bur then to their parishes, if his Majesty should sanction it with his approval. The different regiments that have already been altered are the Artillery, Marines, and Dra goon Guards, which alone afforded to a number of our manufacturers that employment of which they are now destitute. OXFORD, Nov. 17.—The VICE-CHANCEL LOR has this day issued the following notice:-- " In addition to the days originally fixed for the confer ring of Degrees during the present Term, and of which notice has already been given—(viz. the 19th instant, Dec. 3, 10, and 17), a Congregation will also be holden on Thursday the 26th inst. for the purpose of granting Graces and conferring Degrees, that day having been acci dentally omitted in the original notice. " No person will, on any account, be admitted as a can didate for the Degree of 8.A., or M.A., or for that of 8.C.L., without proceeding through Arts, whose name is not entered in the book, kept for that purpose, at the Vice-Chancellor's house, on or before the day proceding the day of Congregation. " J. C. JONES, Vice-Chancellor. " Exeter College, Nov. 17, 1829." ANCIENT STATUE.-There were lately found in the grounds of :Miss NELSON, without Bootham Bar, several relics of ancient sculpture; among these was part of a statue, representing a man having on his head a close wreathed cap, somewhat in the fotm of a turban, and which would indicate a female figure, but for the lower part of the costume which is a close doubler, fastened by three large buttons in front, with broad laced button-baleti, the lower part of the chess resembling a Highlander's kilt. It was broken into three pieces. There was also turned up a square capital of a cylinder, evidently of Saxon archi tecture, and very delicately cm-ed. 'Miss NELSON, we understand, has presented these relics of some now-for gotten building to the Yorkshire Philosophical Society.— York Courant. A remarkable instance of juvenile depravity occurred at Lynn on Saturday sennigh. A lad, named FAT, aged 12 years, induced another boy, only seven years old, to go with him into a field, in which were some sheep belonging to Mr. SMITH, butcher, and assist him in catching a sheep, which they tout: into a shed in an adjoining piece of land ; the former then slaughtered it, and, cutting it open, took out the fat, which lie sold for 17d., giving ad. to the younger lad. The sheep was left in the shed covered with litter. The imrents of the younger boy discovering that he had some halfpence, ques tioned him as to the manner of their having been ob tained, and having, with some difficulty, induced him to confess, immediately gave notice to the owier of the sheep, and Fav was, on the following Mcinday, committed to SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. A correspondent, well acquainted with the affairs of Portugal, informs us that we are in some error as to the respect, bon gr' mal gr'd which Don Miguel pays to the representations of this Government, and instances a striking case -:--that of Mr. Noble, who had been subjected to a legal sentence, had his property at Oporto sequestered, but who, on the powerful remon strance of the British Government, through the Consul-General, had been re-admitted into Por tugal and reinstated in the possession of his property. We admit that this is a striking case no doubt : we hope there will be many such, unless they are obviated by the reformation and improvement of Miguel! We admit also, that the imposition of the 15 per cent. upon British articles imported into Portugal, except on con dition that they are imported in Portuguese or British vessels, is hut the construction of a treaty. We think, however, that before Don Miguel or his Government had practically given that treaty the new interpretation, they should have heard what we had to say on the subject. However, if they listen now, we shall be content. With respect to the recognition of this person, —Don Miguel,—we hold the same opinion as ever in this and all similar instances. We have nothing to do with the internal government of Portugal. If the Portuguese choose to keep him, and the emigrants and discontented within the realm cannot eject him, it is not our busi- ness : we have only to take care that he be not imposed or retained by foreign force. But we have also to take care that, as sovereign, he do us no wrong.—l imes. We feel it our duty to inquire once more, whether any, and what steps have been taken to elucidate the circumstances under which Mrs Phillips died, since the general admission seems to be, that her death was produced by poison. The suspicion which from the first, and which to this hour has hung over the decease of that unfortunate female, must, it is obvious, become every day less susceptible of explanation, as the more minute and indirect, though not perhaps less important facts, wear out from the remem brance of the witnesses. We are utterly amazed at those persons (for some there are) who have been charged in print with endeavouring to in terpose obstacles to the inquiry, how and th rough what hands the poison made its way into the same cup or bottle with more innoxious sub stances. We are, we repeat, confounded at the apparent apathy of such persons under a charge so grievous and appalling. If near relations will not, when thus goaded, come forward and invite and promote an inquiry into this foul, or at least calamitous affair, it is the solemn duty of the magistrate who has already had some official knowledge of the case, to revive the question,. and force it to a result, as satisfactory as anNi existing or attainable evidence can make it. If accident only has caused the sudden demise of one of the King's subjects, prove it, and society will bow, as it ought, to the infliction ; but if the event was not the consequence of hazard, public lustice, humanity, and the interests of domestic ife throughout the realm, demand loudly that the investigation shall go on.—lbid. The Duke of Wellington had a long interview with the King on Tuesday ; the audience lasted for nearly three hours, and a variety of business was transacted. We mention this fact the more particularly, in order to give an opportunity for noticing a rumour circulated with an industry that would be meritorious if it were not exerted for the purpose of deception. It has been said very confidently, and by persons whO at all events ought to be above giving countenance to premeditated fiction, that the intercourse between the Sovereign and the first Minister of the Crown has not latterly possessed that character of confidential cordiality by which it was once distinguished, and which is, perhaps, indispen sable to the prompt and efHcient adininisisation ot public affairs; that the Sovereign receives his trusted servant reluctantly, and only when some great exigency requires a meeting ; and that there is no disposition on the part of the First Lord of the Treasury to render these conferences of more frequent occurrence, or of more extended duration ; or—to express the matter more plaintv —we are taught to believe that the foundation on which the present order of things rests is in secure, and that a change is probable, if not im minent. Is this really so ? Are we on the eve of one of those changes which necessarily and inevitably impede the progress of objects of ge neral and national solicitude ? The very reverse of all this is the fact ; the direct and masculine understanding of the Premier is a sufficient gua rantee against a system which would tend to preserve office at the expellee of personal inde pendence; and the deportment of the Sovereign is such as befits him towards the most eminent of his subjects, and most trusted of his counsel lors. At no one time were the relations be tween the parties more perfectly cordial and sa tisfactory.— Morning Chronicle. Several of our contemporaries have animad verted pretty freely on the Circular from Mr. Walker, one of the Police Magistrates of Lam beth-street district, to the t3uardiins of the Poor of the Parishes in his neighbourhood, in which he gives some very gcod advice as to the mode of conducting business connected with the poor, and at the same time delivers his opinion in ra ther a questionable shape respecting the poor laws. Mr. Walker has had considerable experience respecting the poor, both in the North anti West of England, and some year, ago published a pamphlet on the subject, % , ..;' n 'i c h attracted considerable notic e . H e ;ees very distinctly the abuses conne c t e d ri t h every sys tem of relief for the poor, bu't, persons, he sees only p ar t of his li s k i e dij m ec a t n . y , other persons, thorough convictio n , f rom l ung experience o f the impolicy, cruelty, and unchristian tendency of the poor laws, and an earliest desire, by a strict admistration to facilitate their abolition' the proposition with which he commences his circular-e-involves something like a contradiction, because, if the poor laws are impolitic, cruel, and unchristian in their tendency, the stricter the ad ministration, the more will that tendency be evinced. But then it would appear that the strict administration of these laws would facili tate their abolition ; that is, would diminish the impolitic, cruel, and unchristian tendency; whence it follows, not that the laws themselves have an impolitic, cruel, and unchristian ten dency, but that a faulty administration of them has such a tendency. Mr. \\Talker evidently possesses more zeal than logic, otherwise he would not have recommended a strict administration of what was in itself a cruel, impolitic, and unchristian tendency, as a means of improving the condition of the people (certainly not unchristian) as to render legal `provisinn unnecessary. If th e l aw b e i n it se lf impolitic and demoralizing, the stricter the ad o ministr a t ion t h e more m i sc hi evous the comm. qiienco-q, and the greater the difficulty of return-,
