1, ,'; 4l y arranged below these angry discussions e heated men's minds, and prevented them i ti tl giving to the subject that calm and dispas 'kite consideration which its great importance ktfidently requires. If matters be allowed to Need in their natural course, it is obvious the Principalities of Moldavia and Wal hia will every day become more assimilated to great body of the Russian empire, and I refore conceive, that if the future amalgama a of these Principalities with their powerful ighb-,,,Ur is an object to be deprecated, some easure should be promptly taken for relieving 4 'm from the presence of a Russian army of , upati on. A loan for this purpose is said to ' in contemplation among some of the great I)ectdators in financial affairs, but it is under 'land that it will be difficult to effect it without : g u arantee of one at least of the great Powers I much interested in the preservation of tran 94titi/itY ; and as to prevent a disorder is always ter than to cure it, it is a question which !etns to be dictated by ordinary prudence, :heate r it w ou ld not be better to interpose at % present crisis, for the purpose of saving the tiricipalities front falling permanently into the ids of Russia, than listlessly to wait until ale decisive act of aggrandizement has been kmitted—until Aus!ria has followed the ex ,. ple of th e C zar in appropriating the Servian Povinces— unt il F rance, in the reckless career °l ambition which the Liberals will pursue on lheir advent to power, shall have seized on the tt il ile Plain s o f E gypt—and, i n s h ort, unt il ery corne r of Europe is embroiled in quarrel 4hd confusion 2 " I alluded a few days ago to the expulsion ra the French territory of the wretched re gees fr om t h e tyranny o f Don Mi guel.

The packet-boat Charlemagne has arrived at Havre, after a short passage of eighteen days, from New York, bringing letters and papers to the 20th October, but they do not contain any further infor mation of consequence from Mexico than previously received. They state that a revolution took place at Lima on the sth June, without the effusion of blood—(this we had before)—and preliminaries of peace between Colombia and Peru were signed on the 15th July at the head-quarters of Bolivar. The armistice was for seventy days—(this information is also not new, as we received it by the last American Papers.) The Mary has arrived at Baltimore from Buenos Ayres; left on the 26th August. Great agitation was prevailing there : Rosas was still menacing the town of Buenos Ayres. Admiral Laborde was to leave New Orleans on the 9th September with the Spanish battalion, which was to be embarked on board two transports for Tampico. Governor San'Lues has marched with eight hun dred cavalry and two thousand, infantry to attack Tampico. The Great Chapter of the Cathedral of Mexico has given a donation of ten thousand dollars to de fray the expences of the war. - They write from Madrid, 12th October, that General Anedendo will be appointed to command the second expedition preparing at the Havannah for Mexico. By the letters received from Liverpool this morn ing of the '24th inst. it appears that on Tuesday the prices of wheat further gave way 3d. to 4d., and those of oats, about ld. per bushel, at which reduc tion a fair extent of business was transacted ; flour was Id., and oatmeal Gd, to Is. per peck cheaper, and the supplies have since been very limited. The duty on Foreign wheat has increased Is., and on oats Is. Gd. per quarter. In sugars a good business was doing, but no advance on the prices; 300 hhds. have been disposed of, chiefly to the refiners. No thing doing in East India or Foreign. In Cotton, this is the fourth successive week in which a very extensive business has been done, the sales dur ing the last four weeks reaching 83,890 bags ; the import this week is 7,406 bags, and the sales are 19,110 bags. The custom duties of Liverpool have presented a very gratifying increase for the last quarter, the augmentation being between 80 and 90,000/., making the quarter's receipt to nearly a million sterling. THE FUNDS. Owing to the express this morning from Paris having disappointed the general expectations of our City speculators, in not bringing the French Rentes higher, our Consol market has rather experienced a trifling decline from the opening price, which was 91 for money, and 91i for the account, but at present they may be quoted at 91k -a for money and 91 ! for account. Forty thousand money stock has just been purchased, which has had the effect of keeping the market firm. It appears by accounts from Halifax of the 18th October, that less distress is experienced there than has been generally reported, and the demand was seldom greater for woollen cloths. In Leeds and its neighbourhood most persons are employed ; and the demand for stuffs at Bradford and Halifax is con , siderable. The American Papers, by the Colombia, are not as vet come to-hand. In the Foreign market little doing as yet. We have no ship letters. ENGLISH FUNDS. Bank Stock, 2151 161 India Stock, 222.}- 2231 3 per Cent.

The speculators are waiting to obtain some further information in regard to Government's intentions of paying of the Four per Cents. Private letters from Holland, by the Flanders Mail, state that in general the Funds there have improved. The Dutch 21 per Cents., which were 51, have got up to 60. The fall in the metalliques at Vienna is attributed to the inundations at Trieste, owing to a report that the whole of the town had been destroyed. In the Foreign Market nothing doing, and most of the prices are much the same as on Saturday. THREE 0' CL 0 GK.

The " turn-out" is reaching the farmers ; a gentleman who represents one of the oldest families in Lincolnshire, has received notice from nearly forty of his tenantsof their intention to quit their farms.—Stamford Mercury. STATE OF TIIE ROCHDALE WEAVERS.- We are glad to have it in our power to announce a return of the weavers from the turn-out of last week, but the return, unfortunately, does not include the whole number, from the scarcity of work which prevail. The manu facturers, who last week atttempted a reduction of wages, have since agreed to pay the usual price for some time longer ; and, indeed, why any reduction should have been attempted at a season which is acknowledged tube the most favourable for business, seems quite unaccountable. At present all is tranquil, nor is there generally manifested, during the cessation of the operatives from their employ, those symptoms which should cause any alarm to the pub lic.—Manchester .eicivertiscr. THE COTTON-SPINNERS.—There appears to be considerable dissatisfaction amongst the body of jour neymen cotton-spinners, at an attempt of some of their employers to enforce regulations which the men never ex pected to be made, one of which is, that the men shall sign a document, by which they individually engage not to quit work without giving a fortnight's notice ; and further, that only one man out of each room shall give notice, and no other to he allowed to do so till a fortnight after. Upon this principle, if a master have one hundred spinners, two hundred weeks must expire before the whole body could give the requisite notice. The wages of the card-room hands in one or more of the factories have been reduced. One gentleman, who professes to be a zealous friend of the working classes, has reduced his carders and strippers, who had 15s. per week, to 13s , and all others in the same pro portion. The grinding system in cotton-spinning ap pears to have commenced, and we fear it will not end, till the condition of the people employed in factories be re duced to the level of that of the poer famished weavers. In order, if possible, to stem this downward progression of wages, a number of different trades are, we understand, now forming, the promoters of which state their determi nation to resist, to the utmost of their power, any further reduction of wages, till a corresponding reduction in rent, and all the necessaries of life, take place also.—Manches ter Times. FUNERAL OF THE ECCENTRIC JAMES HIRST.-The remains of this eccentric individual, placed in the coffin which he had for years exhibited to the public, and had used as a cuphosrd, were interred at Raweliffe, on Saturday last, the 17th instant. It was his express wish to he maid to the grave by eight old maids, each of whom was to be paid 10s. 6d. for her trouble; and if this could not be effected, eight widows were to be engaged at 2s. 6d. each, to perfOrra the same service. The former wish, however, could not be complied with, either from a want of a sufficient number, or from a desire of not publicly acknowledging a designation of such a contumelious and appalling import. The funeral pro ceeded from the house to the chapel, about four o'clock. The corpse was borne by eight widows, and a solemn tune was performed the while with a bagpipe and fiddle, the former being played by a Scotch shepherd, and the latter by a person of Rawcliffe. During the ceremony, the chapel was crowded to excess ; and the number of spec tators from the surrounding villages to witness the obse quies to a man whose eccentric habits had become pro of 1,00 0 .—Don c as te r Gazette. verbial throughout the district, is computed at upwards LAW IN ► LLIGENCE.-(TiliS DAY.) conz r OF A. ALA RIC WATTS V. LAWSON. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom were Mr. BaouGuA3l and other ventlemen) stated to the Court, that this was a ease of libel, to wbioh the defendant had pleaded a ,iti,tinitatiot'.. Ati afti.lavit had, however, been 'worn bet Ore the Court, which set 1 . k 1 ,1 that a witness was absent, whose evidence was very material to his client's (the defendant's) case. The witness was a lad named Phillips, who was living with a person earned Levy, whose name had been mentioned in the libel. Levy had been requested to serve his servant With a subposna. He bad stated however that the lad was ill, and could not come. An attempt had been made to serve him on an other day, but the person was then refused access to Phil lips. Levy afterwards told them that the lad was ill and had gone to his father's. Application was made to the father on Saturday last, but he said that the boy had gone to Portsmouth for his health, and refused to tell his ad dress. It was very necessary for the defendant that he should appear here to .day. Before, however, his address could be found out, it was too late to permit of his being brought here to-day, even if be had been well enough to have come. Under these circumstances the Learned Counsel begged permission of the Court for the cause to stand over till the next sittings, when they had no doubt that they should be able to procure his attendance. Mr. DENMAN (for the plaintiff) said that he was not aware till that moment that such an application as the present was to be made. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL--It bas only been decided on a few minutes. . _ _ ...... Mr. DinarArt—lt would be very desirable to have the case disposed of now, as it has already been put off twice by the absence of two witnesses on the part of the plaintiff who are now present. Lerd TENTERDEN--Is it a case of publication in the newspapers—is the witness necessary to prove the publication ? Die ATTOANEY-GENERAL—The publication is ad mitted, my Lord. It is, however, very material for the justification, that this witness should appear. It is a news paper publication, my Lord. Mr. Dzlrmsx—The affidavit states, my Lord, that an application was made last Sunday to see the lad. Does your Lordship think that such a ground is sufficient for postponing the case? At all events your Lordship will order the defendant to pay the costs of this day. Lord TENTERDEN—Of course it must be on payment of costs. Mr. DENMAN—We are very desirous of going to trial, my Lord. We have now two material witnesses, one of whom has been abroad, and both are going again. Colonel Stanhope is going, and Mr. Emerson, a most material wit ness, is going to Vienna immediately We have there fore to request, my Lord, that those gentlemen may be ex amined by interrogatory, The ATTORNEY--GENERAL—At which we may be pre sent, my Lord. Lord TENTER/NEN—Of course it will be de bent esse. You!will have the opportunity of cross-examiniug. After some further consultation, it was agreed that the case should stand over till the sittings before next Term. MITCHEL V. BARING. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr• Chitty) stated, that this was an action to recover 5001., the amount of a bill of exchange, drawn by a firm iu America on a firm in Liverpool, and made payabla in London; accepted by Messrs. Crowther and Co., Liver pool, for the honour of the drawers, Messrs. Le Roi and Co., at Charleston, in America, to be paid by them, if regularly refused and protested when due. It was refused and protested in Liverpool. The only question was, whe ther similar bills were generally protested in London or Liverpool. The plaintiff called several Liverpool notaries, who stated the usual course to be, for the bills to be protested in Liverpool. Mr. GURNEY (with whom was Mr. Pollock) contended that the bill should have been protested in London; and called several London brokers and notaries to speak to that fact. Lord TENTEADEN, in summing up, observed, that if it had been left to him as a question of law, he should cer tainly decide that the bill was presented properly, as it could not be " regularly refused" if it had not been pre sented in Liverpool. The Jury found for the plaintiff, damages 4781., par having been paid. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. VERRING AND ANOTHER V. TUCKER AND ANOTHER. This case, which has been already twice before submitted to a Jury, occupied the Court the entire morning, and was not concluded when our Reporter left. It is an action to recover possession of some title deeds which belonged to a person named Wedger, previous to his bankruptcy and to whom the plaintiffs are assignees. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) These Sessions commenced this day. George Smith was indicted for illegally keeping a common gaming -house, in Bury-street, St. James's, Westminster. On the name of the prosecutor being called, as is usual in such eases, it was found he was not forth coming, and the defendant was accordingly acquitted. Mr. William Spurling, a respectably-dressed aged man, was indicted for assaulting John Rowland, in the 'Wesleyan Chapel, Young-street, Kentish-town. The defendant was ordered to pay a fine of 4.05. William Hedges was indicted for unlawfully refusing to take upon himself the duties of headborough of the pa rish of St. Ann's, Limehouse, to which office he had been regularly elected on last Easter Tuesday. The defendant entered into his own recognizance to serve the office next year, and was discharged. Mr. John Bawling, a surgeon at Hammersmith, and a gentleman of most respectable appearance, was charged by Mr. Simpson, another surgeon of the same place, with violently assaulting him. The defendant was discharged on entering into his own recognizance. Several other cases of assault were disposed of during the morning. The situation of Head Master of Hackney School is vacant, with a salary of 4001. per annum. The Bishop of LINCOLN is giving great satis faction in insisting on double duty, where practicable, throughout his diocese. THE SINKING FUND.—The Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt will purchase daily during the current quarter, and which terminates o❑ the sth January, 1830, in aid of the Sinking Fund, the sum of 11,849/. 13s. 9d., which in the quarter will amount to 521,3421. ss. sd. The suns first mentioned is to be in vested in stock on each transfer day of the week. The total amount to be invested this quarter is much less than the sum laid out in that which terminated on the 10th inst., when 669,055/. Bs. 4d. were invested in the pur chase of stock. The Commissioners in the last quarter bought up a considerable amount of the 3i per Cent. Re duced Annuities, as well as Console, 33- per Cents., and Reduced Annuities. At present the investments are confined to Consols and to 3i per Cents. of 1818. The Hooghley, of 600 tons, belonging to Messrs. BUCKLE and Co., departed yesterday from the St. Katharine's Docks for the new settlement of Swan River, fully laden. with agricultural implements,rnachinery, stores, &c., live stock, and 216 passengers. She was locked out two hours and a half before high water, and immediately proceeded on her voyage. The Caroline, George Can and Medina are loading for the same place in the St. Katharine's Docks, and will follow the Hooghley in a short time. BitINKLETT, who was tried for the murder of Lord MOUNT SANDFORD, died within the last month, o❑ his passage to New South Wales.— Windsor Express. STATE OF TRADE.—We have little to add to the report we gave last week of the state. of trade here, with the exception that the demand for fancy muslins is improving daily. One of our leading houses in this line has set to work 60 extra looms. Prices, we are sorry to s ay, have not hitherto improved in a ratio with the de mand.-21Ianchcsier Advertiser. THE SPECIAL COMMISSION.—The period has at length arrived. The Special Commission for the trial of the persons charged with the conspiracy to mur der certain of the Magistrates in the neighbourhood of Doneraile will be opened this morning by Mr. Baron PEN NEFATHER and Mr. Justice TORRENS, who have been particularly and most judiciously selected by the Govern ment for that purpose; and with such judicial function aries, and Juries composed of the most influential and leading men in the county, justice will be properly admi nistered between the accused and their country. Of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, who has come down to institute this solemn inquiry, we do not wish to say much, having already recorded our opinion of his upright conduct and highly honourable character.--Cork Constitution of Thursday. FANNY KEMBLE. A very elegant gold bracelet, manufactured by Mr. Ilattfiet4 was; as we before stated in a former Fanny Kemble, by the pertorni: ,r§ of Covent- g arden Paper, on Wecinegdit,i; ttening' presented to Miss Theatre, with the following inscription : " From the performers of the Theatre Royal, Covent garden, to Mils Fanny Kemble, in sincere admiration of her distinguished taleiSid, atfd a (kep sense of the great advantage accruing to them from litr etettions. October 20, 1829." This present was accompanied by a later, of which the following is a copy : " Theatre Royal; Covent-garden, Oct. 21. " The performers of the Theatre Ilopyl, Covent-gar den, in sincere admiration of the distinguished talent evinced by Miss Fanny Kemble, in her exquisite delinea tion of Juliet, and from the deep sense of the great ad vantages accruing from het exertions to the establishment generally, and to themselves collectit'ely and individually, beg to offer the accompanying trifle for her acceptance, which, however inadequate in itself to convey their senti ments, it is still hoped may be received as a heartfelt tes timony of respect and esteem." To which letter the following answer has been returned:— " Thursday morning, Oct. 22. " It is with a deep feeling of gratitude and delight that I now thank you for the kind and highly flattering com pliment you have paid me. That my exertions have been successful, I most thankfully rejoice, at the same time I acknowledge how much I have been encouraged by the kindness and good wishes of all around me ; and lam anxious to assure you, that the first idea of ever assaying my powers was suggested to me by your adherence to my father, when absent and in almost distressing perplexities. Believe me, the testimony I last night received from you is a source of some pride and much heartfelt satisfaction to me, and I shall preserve both the gift and the letter to the end of any life, as memorials of one of its happiest moments. FRANCES ANN KEMBLE." His MAJESTY, accompanied by his suite drove to Virginia Water on Thursday, after which his MAJESTY proceeded to the Belvedere, and thence by Sand pit-gate, and through Sheet-street and Park-street, to the Castle. The Kura having inspected the Castle, returned to the cottage at about five o'clock. His MAJEsry has taken frequent airings during the week, his hours being from two o'clock until five. This morning the KING drove up Sheet-street to the Castle, and on entering the town appeared to be somewhat surprised at there being such numbers of people about, which was occasioned by the fair being held in the borough. It is expected that his MAJESTY will take up his residence at the Castle some time before the 20th of next month.— Windsor Express. The Duke of CUMBERLAND left his resi dence at Kew on Saturday morning, on a visit to his MA JESTY, at the Royal Lodge, in Windsor-park. The Duke of WELLINGTON left the resi dence of the Marquis of HERTFORD, at Sudborn-hall, Suffolk, yesterday morning, and came to town, where his Grace arrived yesterday evening. Lord ELLENBOROUGN transacted business on Saturday at the Foreign-office. Her Grace the Duchess of RICHMOND was safely delivered of a son, at Goodwood, on Thursday, the 22d inst., being her Grace's ninth living child. The Marquis of HERTFORD is still at Sud born, where splendid and elegant hospitality is the " order of the day." Upwards of one hundred persons, including servants, are at present inmates of his Lordship's mansion. The Duke of WELLINGTON and Mr. HussassoN are amongst the distinguished guests. Mr. CROKER, Secre tary to the Admiralty, is likewise there. The triumphal arch to the King's new Palace in St. James's-park will be embellished by representations of the most illustrious warriors of Great Britain. The figures will be eight feet in height. It will also be adorned with military trophies. The key stone of the middle arch, fronting the park, has been sculptured in the form of a lion's head. Mr. ABERNETHY, the eminent surgeon, is now at Brighton for the benefit of his health. This eccen tric but worthy man, it seems, prefers sea air to blue pill. We are sorry to relate a serious accident which befel Lord AIARYBOROUGH (Master of the Buck Hounds), during the hunt on Monday last. His Lordship was thrown from his horse from the carelessness of one of the sportsmen riding against him. So great was the concus sion, that his Lordship was dislodged before he had time to recover himself, and in the fall broke his arm. The accident happened at Swinley, no great distance from Lord MARYBOROUGII'S seat, and his carriage was immediately sent for, and professional assistance procured. His Lord ship was conveyed home, and is now fast recovering. On Thursday last, at the College-street, Police-office, Dublin, Captain BYNG was fined two gui neas law costs, and 21. Is. damages, for an assault inflicted by him on Mr. JACOB. Mr._JACOB, through his Counsel, expressed himself dissatisfied with this decision, as the assault was one of an aggravated character. Miss PATON has, we understand, renewed her engagement at Covent-garden Theatre, upon terms equally liberal, under existing circumstances, on both sides. The Maid of Judah will be again revived ; and a new Opera, with music by BISHOP, will be produced in the course of the season. Miss FANNY KEMBLE seems destined to re novate the fortunes of her family, and the drooping cha racter of the British Stage, which, in our day, has expe rienced four most remarkable and fortuitous epochs. The first season that great luminary, Mrs. SIDDONS, acted at Drury-lane, the profits, to the proprietors, were said to have exceeded 20,0001., notwithstanding the smallness of the theatre. The first season after Mrs. BILLINGTON'S re turn from Italy, when she played alternately at Drury lane and Covent-garden, each house cleared a similar sum. The first year Master BETTY acted in London, each house was estimated to have realized 30,0001. ; and the year Miss O'NEIL first came to Covent-garden, Messrs. HARRIS and Co. netted 20,000/. French Plays will be again given at the Eng. lish Opera-house, under the able direction of Mr. AR NOLD and Monsieur Ctour ; but they will not commence until January. In addition to the favourites who were imported last year, several comedians of distinguished po pularity from the principal theatres in Paris, have already been engaged. The house will be newly decorated and embellished previous to the opening. That ponderous and unwieldy beast, the ele phant, has been the chief object of attraction, during the summer, in a drama, got up for the purpose of exhibiting his sagacity, and even his docility, at one of the Minor Theatres in Paris. INIATHEws and YATES, while they were in the French capital, visited this extraordinary exhi bition, with which they were so forcibly impressed that they have determined to introduce either this idential ani mal or his pc-simile on the Adelphi stage. A report is in circulation that the disengaged old London favourites are about to take a theatre as a Joint Stock concern, and the West London is spoken of as the arena of action. DOWTON, GREEN, GATTIE, Haymarket VINING, Miss JARMAN, Miss F. IL Kru.r, and Mrs. WEST, are to fill the most prominent characters, and the auxiliary parts are to be filled by the ablest and meat respectable of the discharged Minors from the Majors. POWELL, the father of the Drury-lane stage, has been, for several months, living in delightful retirement at Brighton. This veteran of the histrionic art has been connected with the Drury-lane Companies for nearly 40 years, and what is both singular and honourable, he never, from ill health or inattention, was prevented from punctually discharging his duties to the public. Mr. POWELL is now considerably upwards of 70 years of age, and has blended with a life of activity (particularly in pedestrianism) rigid temperance; and upon inquiry being recently made after his health by an old acquaintance, he replied emphatically, " Thank God ! I was never better ; I have been connected between 30 and 40 years with Drury-lane Theatre : am nearly 75 years of age, and never experienced either the head or the tooth-ache!" MR. MARTIN, THE PAINTER. — The Pre sident and Council of the Scottish Society of Arts at Edinburgh have elected this distinguished gentleman an honorary member of that institution. Twenty-two thousand copies are printed of each volume of the new edition of the Waverley Novels. Ten thousand copies are sold in Edinburgh, and twelve thousand are sent to London, of which four thousand are sent to Ireland. Muitanv has just printed a new edition of the Life of Napoleon, consisting of ten thousand copies. To this edition a copious Index is added, highly advan tageous and useful to the readers of the life of that extra ordinary personage. LAW NOTICES. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

Chifney's Nessus Mr. Pettit's Deformity On Saturday seinnight, as a party were sport ing on the Derry-hill, near Abergavenny, their attention was drawn to the baying of one of the dogs, which they found to be occasioned by an old adder, about three feet long. Mr. WATKINS, of the White Horse, Abergavenny, shot it, and on examining the spot, eleven young ones Nverc discovered.— Cumbrian. SIGNS OF PROSPERITY--At this moment there are not less than seventy mills in the Wool busi ness, in the West of England, to be let. The depreciation in the value of those now let is absolutely frightful. To give an instance, a mill in the West of England, for which the chief tenant is paying 500/. a year, is now let at 150/. Western Times. A timber pond has been excavated at the Mill Bay corner of the Town's Marshes, by Mr. WAKEHA M. The water is brought from the neighbouring ocean by means of a tunnel. We find by a map of Plymouth, which was drawn in 1646, that vessels heavily laden then rode at anchor on the spot now occupied by the pond.—Decon port Telegraph. A Medicinal Spring has been recently dis covered at Ilkeston, whose waters are of sovereign efficacy, particularly in gout, rheumatism, and cases of nervous de bility.—Sheffield Mercury. The Welsh mail in crossing the Passage on Thursday se'nnight, was on the water three hours, in con sequence of the strong and adverse winds.—Cambrian. AFFAIR or HONOUR.—Yesterday, a dis pute on affairs of public interest took place between two official gentlemen, when such language was applied by one to the other, as induced the person most offended to send a message. The matter was fortunately heard of by a gentleman connected with the police establishment, and both parties were bound to keep the peace.—Dublin Morning Register. BARNSLEY, OCT. 23.—A letter from a cor respondent of this day states, that within the last forty eight hours the following persons have been taken int() custody on suspicion of being concerned in the attack upon ROBERT SYKES'S house, at Dodsworth :—JOHN SNOW DEN, JOSEPH ELLISON, HENRY WARD, WM. RICHARDS, and THOMAS BEcKErr, who are expected to Le examined to-morrow. ISAAC ASHTON was permitted to be at large on bail for fourteen days, on account of indisposition, but it was intimated to him that, at the expiration of that period, he would be committed for three months, fur using intimidating language to some weavers.—Leeds Mercury. On Monday last as the gamekeeper of the Earl of FALMOUTH was looking for a deer, he observed something in the river which attracted his attention, and in duced him to take a boat and go off; and at the distance of 100 yards fired at it, and killed it, when he found it to be a very fine young seal (plioca vitulina), about four feet and a half long. His Lordship has presented the animal to the Museum of the Royal Institution in this town.— Cornwall Gazette. Two important seizures of silk took place at Southampton last week, amounting, it is supposed, to se veral thousand pounds. The first on Monday, when three out of ten cases, brought over by the George the Fourth, and supposed to be wine, and were found full of the finest French silks ; the second on Thursday, when a similar cargo was found secreted in some cases of eggs, which were brought over in a small French vessel. It may, in many respects, be advantageous that the attention of the public should be called to the eligi bility of many of the unfortunate refugees as teachers of languages. When they first arrived their imperfect know ledge of our language in a great measure shut up this mode of relief to them ; but a long residence here has fully qualified them for such employment. It is a well-known fact that the most illiterate foreigners have long practised in this country as teachers of the European languages in private academies. Men who have served in the capacity of cooks or valets in their own country have here set up as tutors. With the refugees the public have very high guarantees of respectability, and there are among them men of first-rate accomplishments. Two refugees of rank have, as professors of the Italian and Spanish languages at the City of London Literary and Scientific In s tit ut i on , taught large classes with so much success, that the members look forward with the warmest expectations of seeing the ex ample of the institution generally followed for the benefit of the public, as well as for the honour of the national cha racter, Qrs. 57 122 286 252 1141 557 COB 9 Scks. 105 i 7312
