Some trees have been prostrated by the wind, but as yet we have not heard of any serious mischief having occurred.—Sherborue Journal. The Japanese import from the Kurile islands, into the interior of Japan, herrings spoiled by keeping, to serve them as manure for the cotton plants. They first boil the herringi in large iron kettles, then put them in presses, and let all the liquid flow into the same kettles, from which they take the oil for their lamps. What re mains of the herrings is spread upon mats, and laid in the sun to dry, till they become almost converted to ashes. They are then filled into sacks, and put on board the boats. The earth round each cotton plant is manured with them, which causes the crop to be extremely abundant. CONCILIATION SUPPER AT YORK.—OiI last Monday evening a handsome supper was provided at Mr. RICHARDSON'S, the Garrick Coffee-house, York, for a select party of gentlemen of the city, of all religious denominations ; Mr. MoottE, a stanch Tory, and Mr. BINGLEY, a stanch Whig, occupied the chair and vice chair. Above the head of the former was suspended a handsome transparency with the word " Conciliation." After the usual toasts had been drunk, the following were given with much cheering:—" The Duke of WELLING TON, through whose influence the measure has been car ried which we are now met to celebrate, and may it pro duce the happy effects anticipated—the amelioration of the condition of the peasantry, and the diffusion of gene ral I nowledge in Ireland." " The Catholic relief bill, and may the intention of the King and his Ministers, in proposing and carrying that measure, have the happy effect of conciliating all parties in the bond of national friendship, and unite England, Ireland, and Scotland into one solid and imperishable empire, the envy of surround ing nations, and the glory of our own." " DANIEL O'CONNELL and the people of Ireland, and may they now' second the exertions of the English capitalist, in increas ing the trade, commerce, and manufactures of that coun try." The company did not separate until a late hour; ald, from the tenour of the speeches, it appeared that all were convinced of the justice es well as the necessity of the measure.

The present number of this popular Miscellany is lively—sketchy—though flimsy and superficial to a more than ordinary degree. Its great defect is, that it possesses nothing, either of a lively or serious case, sufficiently impressive to retain a hold on the mind ten minutes after it has been read. Among the best, if not the very best article in the whole number, is the criticism on that excellent and versatile French actress " Jenny Colon," of whose talents the critic seems wondrously enamoured. Were this analysis a little more condensed, it would read with far better effect, and stand a chance of being longer remember ed. As it is however, it is very light and entertaining. " Basilia" is a pretty tale; and the verses entitled " My Nose" so good, that Sterne or Slaukenbergius might have owned them. " Convent of St. Ber nard" is a pleasing incident, pleasingly told. " The Bubble Reputation" is dull and prosy, and the " Article for the New Monthly" lively. We regret that our cir c umscribed limits will not allow of any lengthened extracts, and we have not been able to find one sufficiently condensed to answer our pur pose with effect. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE Is this month rather heavy and monotonous, the " Noctes Ambrosianas" particularly so. The best article in the Number is the second series of " Sketches on the road in Ireland," and even this is far from first-rate, though readable. " First and Last ;—the First and last Kiss," a subject abound ing in matter as well grave as humourous, is far from equalling the extraordinary and original Paper by the same hand, " fhe First and Last Dinner ;" it is tedious and prolix. " Chapters on Churchyards" brings to a conclusion a tale of a painful and even harrowing interesr, entitled the " Grave of the Broken Heart ;" the denouement of this tale is deeply affecting, though the whole has been infinitely too protracted. The following lines, by C. Lamb, which might very well pass for a poem by Andrew Marvell, are quaint and simple : THE CHRISTENING. 4rray'd—a half-angelic sight— In vests of pure Baptismal white— The Mother to the Font doth bring The little helpless, nameless thing, With hushes soft and mild caressing, At once to get—a name and blessing.— Close by the Babe the Priest doth stand— The sacred water at his hand, Which must assoil the soul within From every stain of Adam's sin.— The Infant eyes the mystic scenes, Nor knows wh•tt all this wonder means; Aid now he smiles, as if to say, " I am a Christian made this day." Now, flighted, clings to Nurse's hold, Shrinking from the water cold, Whose virtues, rightly understood, Are, as Bethesda's waters, good.— Strange words—the World, the Flesh, the Devil— Poor babe, what can it know of evil? But we must silently adore Mysterious truths, and not explore. Enough for him, in after times, When he shall read these artless rhymes, If looking back upon this day With easy conscience, he can say "I have in part redeemed the pledge Of my baptismal privilege ; And more and more will strive to flee All that my sponsors kind renounced for me." C. LAMB. LONDON MAGAZINE. The Dramas of Euripides, " No. 1. The Hecuba," though somewhat florid, metaphorical, and juvenile, is yet a very pleasing written piece of criticism, and does credit to its young author's discernment. " Professor Leslie" is a staid grave biography of this eminent mathematician, and will be generally acceptableto men of science. The account of the discovery of the Professor's peculiar bent of mind is especially interesting. We regret, however. from its length, that we are unable to give it insertion, which must also be our excuse for not going into detail on the subjects of the remaining articles, the majority of which, however, we recommend as be ing of shrewd, sensible, and practical character. MONTHLY MAGAZINE. We are surprised at the rabid, not to say mania cal, ferocity with which this Magazine still persists in following up the Catholic Question. Had the Editor's own father, and all his ancestors, " from the flood upwards," been severally roasted by the Papists, he could not be more ferocious or vindic tive. This, to say the least of it, is bad taste; moreover, it is not a little unconstitutional, for what but the worst mischief can be intended by a man who does all he can to stir up the embers of a flarne,now nearly, if not quite, extinguished ? We do not for an instant deny the power—the energy—the rapid —burning eloquence of the article, entitled " Po pery as it was and will be : the Massacre of St. Bartholomew ;" but we decidedly protest against its unjust and ungenerous tendency. Bating this grave defect, the Monthly Magazine is rapidly im proving, as much in talent as in circulation. "Re collections of a Night of Fever," a paper penned in the wildest and most imaginative spirit, is of itself quite sufficient to stamp the character of any pe riodical. W e give the following powerful extract as a sample : " Unconsciousness, or sleep, its counterfeit, dropt a curtain between me and this stage of suffering, and again the shadows of my delirium took another form. I was in a spacious theatre, where the earlier events of the French Revolution were being represented, till, by degrees, that which at first had been no more than a show, became reality ; and I, who had only been a spectator, was con verted into an actor, and called upon to do and suffer.— Sometimes I paraded the streets with the infuriated mob, shouting Ca ira' and the Marseillois Hymn ; while, at others, I was the doomed object of popular hatred, and had a thousand hair-breadth escapes from the guillotine, which was going on incessantly by night and day, till the kennels ran with gore, and Paris had the look and smell of one huge slaughter-house. Still the cry was for blood— , more blood !' The sun itself refused to shine any longer on the polluted city. It was the third morning, and still no other light appeared in the sky but a broad, crimson moon, in which Paris, with its deeds of death, was re flected as in a mirror suspended above our heads. This sign, however, prodigious as it was, had no effect except on a few weaker spirits ; in general, the yells of blas phemy only became so much the louder and the fiercer ; for the people were drunk with sin and blood as with new wine, and reeled along the streets like Atys and the frantic crew of Cybele in olden times, when their limbs were wet with recent gore, the foul offerings to the unknown god dess. A pale priest, venerable from his grey locks and placid features—placid even in the midst of all this fearful tumult—pointed with his aged hands to the red sign above, and bade us remember the fate of Nineveh. He was instantly seized by the mob, and dragged towards the scaffold, where the executioner incessantly plied his office, and as each head fell, shrieked, rather than called, to the populace, Encore un ! encore un !' He was the rabid ogre of the fairy tale, who scarcely devours one victim ere lie clamours for another. Imagination cannot picture a more loathsome or terrific monster. His face, though still human, bore the same revolting resemblance to the wolf that man, in his worst form, is sometimes found to bear to the monkey ; his teeth, or rather fangs, for they were of enormous size, protruded from the bloated, purple lips, that were constantly drawn back and distorted with one eternal grin ; his cheeks had the fixedness of marble, with that frightful ashy hue which is only to be found on the face of the dead, and can be compared to nothing living ; the colour of his eyes, s mall, fierce, and burning, could not D e o o di w set,. which,ng distinguished ishe d i i ke h ; butis head, w they were y deeply utterl stinkld of hair. under h u gi This is a pleasant entertaining Number, full of gossiping and desultory remark, sketches of cha racter, naval and military historiettes, anecdotes of great men and little men, told in an easy unostenta tious manner, and in a style that cannot fail to be attractive. As a proof of this, we give the follow ing account of a visit to General Jackson—a gentle man whom the force of circumstances, concurring with no ordinary merit of his own, has at present rendered a very remarkable character:— " Travelling through the Western States of America in the early part of the year 1828, I was induced by the fame of this distinguished man, as well as by the report of his hospitality, to request an introduction to him. Gen. H., formerly an Aid of the hero, and now commanding the militia of the State of Tennessee, being made acquainted with my wish, came, and politely tendered me his carriage and attendance. We left Nashville for General Jackson's seat, the Hermitage, distant about nine miles, on a Satur day morning, and arrived just as he and his lady were get ing into the carriage to attend a meeting of Baptists, the latter being a strict follower of that sect. To this church, which was erected entirely with money supplied from his own purse, and was situated not a mile from his house, we repaired. Gen. Jackson's religious faith and principles, as well as every thing else connected with him, underwent the strictest scrutiny at the late presidential election. From what I saw of him, I should suppose him a con sistent Christian, making no pretensions to being better than his neighbours, but establishing that fact by a long life of rigid probity, and the performance of honourable and noble deeds. The affection entertained for him by his domestics—his neighbours, all who know him intimately, proves the amiability of his private life, and the multipli city of trusts imposed upon kim as a guardian, executor, &c. attest the confidence placed in his honour and honesty. " After the service was concluded, we returned to the General's house, and found dinner ready. I had an op portunity, in the arrangement of the dinner-table, to ob serve the course of conduct by which he was enabled to entertain so much company, without that unhappy con summation which would invariably in England, attend the like profusion in housekeeping. We had upon the table abundance of meat—there was beef, mutton, turkeys, geese, and several kinds of ducks and fowls, but neither wine, nor spirituous liquors of any kind. No fruits were intro duced, nor any thing save puddings, beyond the delicious and excellently-cooked meats I have mentioned. The din ner was served up at three o'clock, the common dinner hour in America ; and the company consisted of about thirty, of whom ten were ladies. They were principally travellers, attracted like myself by a wish to see the " Ame rican lion ;" no person of respectability visited that part of the country at the time I was there, without making a call upon the General. He kept open doors, and seldom sat down to dinner with fewer than twenty guests. The eapence attending this hospitality was met by the most rigid economy in every department, by a strict personal observation of his domestic polity, and every thing con nected with his estate. Every day, at an early hour, he was in his fields superintending his slaves and workmen, with whom he remained many hours, and every day he made the circuit of the estate, and saw the stock." Yesterday the Duke of CUMBERLAND visited the KING. Mr. NASH, the architect, submitted some plans for the new Palace, St. James's-park, and took his MasEsTy's commands upon them yesterday. His MAJESTY entertained a select party to dinner yesterday. The Duchess of SAXE WEIMAR, and the Princess Sorma. Manta& were present at the Drawing Room on Thursday. The Duchess of SAXE WEntAR was presented by the Duchess of CLARENCE. Lady LowE, the Lady of Sir H. LOWE, was also presented ; as was Ad miral LAKE, who was presented by Viscount MutviLLE, on his returning from abroad. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, as Colonel of the Royal Horse Guards, was the Gold Stick in Waiting on the KING, at the Levee and Drawing Room. On Thursday the Duke of CUMBERLAND dined with the Marchioness of CONYNGHAM, to celebrate the KING'S birth-day, with a numerous party. The Duchess of CLARENCE and the Duchess of SAXE WEIMAR. came to town from Bushey-park, on Thursday morning. After the Drawing Room the two Duchesses visited the Princess AUGUSTA on their return to Bushey-park. The Russian Ambassador, and the French Charge d'Affaires, were occupied during a considerable portion of the afternoon with the Duke of WELLINGTON and the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the Foreign-office. Despatches were sent off by an Italian Mes senger on Thursday evening, from the Colonial Office, for the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands; and from the Admiralty for Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM, the Commander of the Naval Force in the Mediterranean. The Sardinian Minister transacted busi►►ess yesterday at the Treasury. The illness of the Duke of CLARENCE IS, we lament to say, of a much more serious nature than has been represented. The attack was sudden, but so violent, that his Royal Highness's medical attendants were exceed ingly apprehensive of the result. We rejoice to add that the illustrious sufferer is this morning as well, or even better than could have been anticipated. Should his Royal Highness fortunately escape a relapse, it is hoped that he will soon recover his accustomed health. Yesterday their Royal Highnesses the Duke of CUMBERLAND, the Princess AUGUSTA, the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and the Princess SOPHIA MA TILDA, attended by their respective suites, visited the Ex hibition of the Royal Academy, previous to its opening to the public. They were received and conducted through the rooms by the President, the Keeper, and the Secretary, and Sir W.M. BEECIIEY. It is said that the Duke of NORTHUMBER LAND has taken Kilruddery, the magnificent seat of the Earl of MEATH, fur the ensuing season.— Tipperary Free Press. General Lord HILL, Commanding-in-Chief, hell a levee yesterday, at the Horse-Guards, which was at tended by General GANCOYNE ; Lieut.-Generals Dyarr , GUARD, and Joussox ; Major-Generals TAYLOR, P• COFFIN, Lord IIoTHAM, and Sir C. CAMPBELL ; Colonels PRINGLE, GRENVILLE, CAREY, and about twenty other officers. Sir SIDNEY SMITH was most cordially re ceived by his MAJESTY at the Levee on Wednesday. After having kissed hands, his MAJESTY, notwithstanding the crowded activity of the room, took Sir SIDNEY by the hand, and gave it a hearty squeeze. Most persons are aware of the Duke of WEL LINGTON'S early active habits, in proof of which a cor respondent mentions that his Grace was seen, a few morn ings since, between six and seven o'clock, walking down Thames -street, arm in arm with a gentleman, making a personal examination of the proposed approaches to the new London Bridge. The Earl of RADNOR is arrived in London from Coleshill, in this county..—Becks Chronicle. DEATH OF LORD ALLOWAY.—We regret to state that the Hon. D. CATHCA RT, one of the senators of the College of Justice, expired at his seat in Ayreshire on Monday. His Lordship was an eminent Counsel at the bar, and was promoted to the bench in 1612.—Edin burgh Chronicle,: Madame CARADORI made her first appear ance at the Dublin Theatre on Tuesday last, and was Ile ceived with much•applause. DIBDIN's Monument was removed on Thurs, day from Mr. Str.viEß's, the sculptor, to Greenwich Hospital, where it will be immediately pLced, and opened to the inspection of the public. (We eopy the fallowing from the Times.) A version is current in the city respecting the causes of disagreement between an eminent capitalist and the Directors of the B an k, w hi c h i s pro b a bl y, as such stories generally are, too highly coloured, but which is believed in th e ma i n f acts to be correct. It is said that at the period when the first alarm arose about the transmission of gold to the continent to meet the importations of grain, th e gent l eman i n question was invited to attend a meeting in the Bank-parlour, where his opinion was a s k e d b y ; in his r e pl y , h e ob servedlces of the case were the Directors as to what amount of go ld was likely from this cause to be abstracted f rom t h e circulation that t o f t h t e h e ci r c c o i t i i m n t s r t y a far too intricate to allow of any thing like an ex plicit answer to such an interrogatory, but that he should conceive, as the merchants connected with the north of Europe would not send gold if they could get any thing else which would suit the ope rations, that not more than 1,000,0001. in sovereigns would be withdrawn. This reply was gratefully received, and being taken as oracular, though never meant in that light by the gentleman who uttered it, was duly acted on by the sages of Threadneedle street. They saw, complacently enough, the first million of sovereigns disappear; but as time rolled on, a second, and a third million vanished, and their coffers were daily sinking, while no indications were afforded that the demand for the precious _metals %las about to cease. Their ire now broke out against the gentleman they had set up for a prophet, who, though of a nation which has produced many such sacred persons, never laid claim to the faculty himself, nor pretended to decide what it was impos• sible he should know. He was reminded when he next came in contact with the Board, of the opinion he had given a few weeks before; he was reproach ed,- without any great ceremony or circumlocution, for having wilfully misled the Directors; and finally received a hint, that it might be as well his name did not appear on any bills presented there for dis count. The eyes of the indignant capitalist, con scious of the millions his coffers contained, flashed fire at this intimation. " Not discount my bills !" said he : " get any to discount, if you can. Do you know, Sir," addressing the Chairman, " who I am ? That lam a Prussian Baron,----and moreover an Austrian Baron,--and moreover a Brazilian Mar quis,—and moreover that I am (repeating his own name with great emphasis),--and that I have 100,0001. a year of the revenue, and I do not care that (snapping his fingers) for the whole of you." place of all other dress he wore a wioding-sheet, without belt or buckle, that at every movement spread and again closed upon his body, as if it had been part of himself, and more like the wings of a bat in its action, than tha mere w.,v:rig of a shroud. " The populace thrust forward the poor old priest with clubs and staves towards this monster, much as the keeper of sortie wild heat thrusts into its den the living victim that is destined to gorge its appetite. In the twinkling of an eye his head fell; when the man of blood shook his shroud till its swelling folds left his body naked ; and hold ing out to me his long arms, reiterated his incessant cry, ' Encore tin !' Before the rabble, who were well enough inclined to gratify his wishes, could seize me, I had burst my way through them, and leaving the noise far behind me, had found a refuge in my hotel." THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. THE 000 AND MACIOG OF THE MONEY MARKET. CANADA COMPANY. A very numerous Meeting of the Proprietors of Shares in this Company was held at the Company's House, in St. Helen's-place, Bishopsgate. The Governor, C. Bosanquet, Esq. took the Chair. From the Report which was read, it appeared that in June next an instalment would be due to Government, and that the dividends and other mi nor claims having been settled, only about 2,394/. remained available to meet the instalment to Go vernment. I'o carry on the affairs of the Company till May next would require 14,250/. The Company possessed debentures in Canada to the amount of 10,0001. The whole amount already paid to Go vernment was 42,5001. for 270,000 acres of land, of which 64,000 had been sold at 93. per acre. The GOVERNOR said that all negociation with the Colonial Office to get a modification of the Charter had been unsuccessful; and, as far as a ver bal answer could be considered decisive, Sir G. Murray had so stated. He wished to know if the Proprietors intended to object to the call which must be made to meet the instalment due to Govern ment ? After some discussion, Mr. SPENCE moved, that as it appeared doubtful whether the Proprietors would pay the calls to make the instalments to Go vernment, in the event of the Directors being un able to obtain a modification of the Charter, they be authorised to take measures, with the consent of Government, to dissolve the Company.—(Hear.) Carried by a large majority, and the Meeting se parated. EARTHQUAKE AT MANILLA. The following account of an earthquake at Ma nilla is extracted from the Singapore Chronicle, of Jan. 1 :—" The Reaper, Captain Rind, arrived six days ago, from Manilla the 12th December. The most interesting article of intelligence by her is, that of a rather violent earthquake, which happened there on the 9th of last month. It occurred at half-past six in the evening. The motion seemed to come. from the south, and it was undulating, causing' a rolling and creaking in the houses like that expe rienced in a ship at sea, though less in degree it is to be presumed. The hanging lamps moved like pen, dulums, swinging about four feet at each vibration. Our informant mentions, that he was lighting segar at the lamp, which suddenly moved away frorn him ; he thought its motion caused by his having touched it with the brim of his hat, but was unde ceived at the next undulation, when the chair on which he stood was with himself overset upon the floor, upon which he rushed into the street, where he found the inhabitants (according to their custom on such occasions) upon their knees. A gentleman, passing through the town in a buggy, observed the water in the gutters first running one way and then the other, and, not feeling the earth quake owing to the motion of the vehicle, was at a loss•to account for so strange a phenomenon, until he observed the people falling on their knees, and had himself alighted. The motion caused the Inas: sive gates of the Puenta Granda, one of the en trances of the city, to swing upon their hingts, so that a gentleman passing at the time thouf,,:'ht that there were men pushing them from behind. The earthquake lasted three minutes according to some, whilst others say only two. It caused the bells the steeples to ring as if they had been tolled by the hands of men. After the earthquake, the river rose to as great a height as in the rainy seaso n , and overflowed the low ground in its vicinity, and the next morning it fell below its usual level in the same proportion as the previous evening it had risen above it. The ships felt the shock severely, as if it were something knocking on their bottoms. With all this, however, we ara happy to learn that not much damage was done to the buildings, and that no lives were lost. Arches of two of the churches were broken, and some of the buttresses of another thrown down; the prisls ts for debtors received some injury, and a nutr a 'tser.of dwelling-houses were cracked in different places, No subterraneous noi , es were heard 1 but for two days previous, the weather had been more hot and sultry than usual though perfectly clear, except see the day on which the earthquake happened, when a haze hung upon the horiaon throughout the bay, similar to that which preceded the lust great earth. quake at Valparaiso, a witness of which gives us our present information. It was not known that any volcanic eruption bad taken place." STORM.—One of the most violent hurricanes of wind we remember visited this county on Tuesday. Each succeeding gust appeared in this town to increase in fury, and trees, hay-stacks, chimneys, and other exposed things were thrown down and scattered about. One al` Cnowm and Co.'s large four-wheeled waggons, partly loaded, and weighing nearly four tons, standing with the, shafts towards the Welsh Bridge, was completely turned round by one of the most violent of the gusts. A large stack of chimneys, belonging to the house of Mrs. BURIN at Westbury, was blown down, but pros identially fell inn: the garden : this is :the second time the same stack has fallen : had they been blown upon the house, the mast fatal consequene.ea m4st have ensued. At Ludlow, Bridgnorth, Oswestry, and elsewhere, considerable injury has been sus tained, although no fatal accident has occurred. At Chel tenham several houses were unroofed, and a heavy tile was blown from the roof of a house in High-street, and passed so near to the face of a little girl, that it completely cut off the front and trimmings of her bonnet, but the child escaped.— Shrewsbury Chronicle. 1
