The bond was drawn up, with Rowl an d the gas shares assign e d, an d the pictures deposited Stephenson. The money was not foi th as coming at the app o i nte d t i me, Mr. Step h enson ass i gn i ng a reason the scarcity of money in the bank, in conse quence of the heavy runs upon it.

NEW FARRINGDON, late FLEET MARKET. (THIS DAY.) The following is a copy of a letter received this morn ing by Mr. Clark, butcher " am directed by the Committee of the City of London to inform you, that they have at their meeting this day rescinded the order of the Select Committee, and the notice given in consequence thereof to you to quit your shop in the New Fleet Market, the said order having been made without competent authority.

The supply of the finest Beef, Mutton, Veal, and country fe.l Pork, was very plentiful at the New Farringdon Market to-day, and it was well attended by buyers. The following are the prices at per lb. to the consumer : BEEF—An equal quantity of the choicest roasting and boiling parts, 51d. ; roasting parts, Gd. and 6:111. ; boiling parts, 4d. and 13d. ; rump steaks, 9d. and 10d.

On Tuesday evening, the 24th ult., as DA NIEL Stmt.'yaw, of the coast blockade, was on duty near the light-house, at Eastbourne, he fell down the dreadful precipice, supposed to he 280 feet. It is conjectured that the beaten path, marked by large picces of chalk, being covered by the great fall of snow, he missed his track and fell off the cliff. He was missed about seven o'clock in the evening by the mail, whirls made a report Lt the watch-house that there was no one on the station as above. Immediate search was made with candles and lanterns, and by frequently calling Isis name, but to no effect. Early next morning (Wednesday) some men were sent in quest under the cliff; they found the unfortunate man in Shoot ing Bottom, with his thigh bone broken, and dreadfully bruised in other parts, quite a spectacle to behold. An inquest was held on the body on Saturday, by F. 11. GELL, Esq., Coroner, and a verdict returned of Accidental Death. NEIvspAPERS.—The following observations are so just, that we cannot forbear inserting them here : " Newspapers."—Tlitre is hardly any thing so much needed in a family as a newspaper, and yet nothing com paratively speaking, is esteemed of so little value. If a man undertakes to retrench his expences, instead of lop ping off what is really useless and extravagant, the first thing to be amputated is the newspaper. He will not drink a bottle of wine less, nor smoke the less tobacco, nor divest himself of a single unseemly habit ; but he sits down and demonstrates to a certainty that a paper neither f , eds nor clothes him, and therefore it is a great tax. And then a note is dispatched to the printer:—" Sir, I can- not afford to take your paper any longer;" or, "Times are hard, money is scarce ; ergo, you may discontinue sending my paper ;" or with any other excuse that may come uppermost. Now we believe that every one who will make a fair trial, end observe the influence of read ing over his family, will find at the end of the year, that he is not a shilling the poorer for having been a subscriber to a good newspaper. He will have accumulated more real intelligence of the every day concerns of life and the move ment of nations—we take it fa• granted, that he has pe rused every number with avidity—than he would have done in a series of years deprived of the sight thereof. His wife will have picked up much information relative to the government of her children, many useful lessons of house hold economy, and no small share of instruction suited to her situation. The children acquire a habit of reading, and a degree of intelligence worth the price of subscrip tion ten thins told. In fact, a good, well-conducted news paper in a family, is the best economist of time, and the aptest instructor of the wind. FASHIONABII INTV.I,I GENer. ARRIVALS. Lord M.

Florence Autumn Races seem to present a sort of Italian Newmarket, except that the parties who contribute to these sports being principally English Noble men and Gentlemen, consider pleasure rather than gain the object of their contention. Lord BURGHERSH, Lord NORMANBY, Mr. PERRY, Mr. THELLUSSON, Mr. KER RICE, Mr. Sr. JOHN, CohMei3GASCOIGNE, Mr. Ilor.r, and two or three foreign Noblemen, managed this year to get up three days' admirable sport. Thasea, the pride of Tuscany, regularly bred, and riders of everience, some of them from Newmarket, powerfully contended fir the vicious stakes and deposits. Lord NOE:HANBY and Mr. PERRY, however, seem to have been the owners of the best blood, for their horses were generally the winners. We understand many parties came from Naples, Rome, and Milan, to be present atlthis meeting. Lord BURG HERS/I and Sir B. WILLIAZISON were the Stewards. ANECDOTE OF HIS PRESENT MAJESTY.— On his MAJESTY'S return from his late visit to Hanover he was waited upon at Rothenkirchen by a deputation of the miners of the Hartz. The deputation begged permis sion to present the KING with a goblet, out of which they said GEORGE L, and also GEORGE 111., had drank. The Knrcr immediately remembered the latter circumstance, and that when in his youth a deputation of the miners had come into England to wait on the KING, his father. His MAJESTY drank out of the goblet, and, three old miners having been presented to him as having been among those that brought it to England, he said good-humouredly, " Do you still frequently sing the son g you sang at Windsor, Gestern Abend war Vetter Mi c ha e l do?'" As this song was national in the Hartz it may easily be imagined how pleased the honest miners were with his MAJESTY'S excel lent memory and pleasantry. The friends of the Siamese youths, with a proper regard to their health and comfort, have taken a commodious house, with gardens, in the vi c inity of th e Regent's Park, and have engaged a carriage solely for their use, so that they may have the advantage of air and exer cise. They have also placed the care of their health under a skilful surgeon. A Mut& BISHOP . .—The following account is given in the " Annals of King George the First," year 4th, under the head of " An Odd Motion in the Irish House of Peers :"—" A very surprising tnotion (says the historian) was made in the House of Lords by an Archbishop, namrly, That for the honour of religion, and for propa gating the Reformation in Ireland, he was willing to divest himself of part of the revenues of his Bishopric, to aug ment the incomes of poor livings in the country, aiid for the encouragement of the inferior Clergy to do their duty ; but it was coolly seconded, and very artfully lost in a few days." This was a strange Archbishop! Lord MOUNT CASHEL may look a long while around him before he ends such another to second him in his plans for providing an efficient working clergy.—Liverpocl Albion. NEW SPELLING BOOK.—Mrs. WILLIAMS, the intelligent authoress of the " Conversations on Gram mar," has, we observe, just published a fourth edition of Ler work, called, " Syllabic Spelling, or a Summary Method of Teaching Children to Read." We do not often think it necessary to notice books of this very elementary description, but the one before us is so superior to every thing of the kind we have yet seen ; it is so original in its principle and arrangement, so admirably adapted to advance rapidly the infant mind, by beguiling it on its tedious way, that we could not but feel we should neglect the performance of a part of our duty to such of our readers as bare a grown up offspring about them, and are interested in their mental culture, if we failed to introduce this book to their especial notice. It is withal most elegantly got up ;it contains in numerable copper-plate engravings, forming little galleries of pictures, very tastefully executed, with a set of excellent copies for the youthful aspirant in the " noble art,"—so our old schoolmaster Tss ' wAcx'ESl used to call it—of pen manship. Whether the much-talked-of science, phreno logy, be true or false, one thing is certain, that the practice of it frequently places its professors in a questionable and ludicrous predicament, as the following little anecdote, which happened a few days ago in Edinburgh, will show : —A lady standing in need of a nursery-maid, a girl called at her house as applicant for the situation. She was shown into a room, where she was left alone, and by and bye the husband entered. Ile requested her to seat herself, and then to t die off her bonnet and undo her ringlets. With this the young woman hesitatingly complied ; but, when he followed it up by proceeding to poke with his angers all round and round her head, she, with the instinctive deli cacy of her sex, started up and " demanded an explanation," which not proving intelligible to her uninitiated mind, she lost no time in quitting;tbe house, and expressed in no mea sured terms her sewe of the rudeness of the philosopher. A young lawyer, boasting of his readiness to undertake the defence of any person accused of crime, de clared lie would as soon undertake the cause of a man whom he knew to be guilty as one whom he believed to be innocent. An aged Quaker being present, he appe - iled to him for the correctness of his views—" What say you to that, old gentlem in ?"—" Why, I sty," replied the Quaker, " that if thee lived in my neighbourhood, I should keep my stable locked—that's all."—Berkshire American. The remains of the late General GARTH were removed at an early hour on Friday morning, from his mansion in Grosvenor-place, for interment in a vault under St. Martin's Church. The funeral was strictly private, consisting of a hearse drawn by six horses, followed by two mourning coaches, containing the relatives and friends of the decease , l. Captain GARTH was chief mourner. — Morning Paper. GRAVITY OF J3REAKFA ST.—Whether break fsst is the most serious and silent meal, because it is the first, or because it is the soberest, it is difficult to say ; but it generally does pass without much talk, or, at all events, without much talk that is worth recording. Pun sters very seldom pun at breakfast, and the narrators of long-winded stories are at that time more sparing of their tales. There is then seldom I.ny argumentative discussion or any play of wit. Breakfast is altogether a matter of business, an affair of life and death, because, if people did not break their fast, they could nut live. Dinner is quite another thing ; that is, more a matter of pleasure than of business ; and they who speak of the pleasures of the table, are supposed to allude to dinner, and not to break fast. A man may dine with Duke Humphrey five days in the week ; but it is a much more serious matter to break ,fast with Duke Humphrey. bit Y LAIC THEATRE. Mr. KtAN, l i night, made his appearance as King.

KEAN'S recent conduct to the managers of Covent Garde, " The decision of the Court of Chancery of course put an end to the question of his abstract right to per form, but it still remained a question whether Mr. KEAN ought to have done so.

KEMBLE to act gratuitously for three nights, naming three nights which were pre-oceupied by Miss P. KtataLE. Being made aware of this fact—even if he had not before known it—the natural course would seem to be for Mr. KEAN to have immediately taken the ether three open nights of the :week. However, :he did not take this course—perhaps for very good reasons—and instantly transferred kis offer from Covent Garden to Drury Lane, because that " establishment had first fostered his la. lents." We were not aware that Mr. PRICE was at the head of the establishment of Drury Lane when KEAN first appeared in London, but at all events he will be the party benefitted, and we are glad of it; we wish only that be had obtained the advantage under circumstances less ob jectionable, we dare say, to his own feelings." WESTMINSTER PLAY. The first performance of Taacxca's Phormio, the play chosen for this year, took place last night before a very numerous auditory. Though it cannot be esteemed the most brilliant of TERENCE'S Comedies, it has always been much admired for the dexterity with which the plot is car ried on, and the strength of character which distinguishes many of the dramatis persona., The parts were exceed ingly well cast on this occasion, but we have not space at present to mention more than a few of the most promi nent. The very arduous part of Geta was sustained by Mr. COLTER in a manner highly creditable to his talents, and, we may add, to his powers of memory. Numerous passages of course occur in so long a part capable of being given with striking effect, and he dia not f iil to turn many of them to the best advantage. The answer to Antiphol or instance, after he has succeeded in obtaining money from the old gentleman— ANiiPno. Quid egisti t GETA. Emunxi argent° sene9, was given in a tone of exultation and self-satisfaction which justly brought down a hearty round of applause. The Chremes of Mr. BARNES was as clever a piece of comic acting, especially in the hitter scenes, as could be desired. His dread lest his evil practices should be re vealed to his wife, and his downcast and contrite counte nance when " the murder is out," reminded us strongly of that very popular actor Mr. KEELEY. Nativistraia, his termagant wife, had also a clever and spirited representa tive. 'lhe part of the intriguing Phormio was performed by Mr. DAY, the Captain of the School, who did it ade quate justice. Nor should we omit the Sophrona of Mr. Cot.ron, a performanc3 which, though it is confined to one scene, was perhaps the most effective in the comedy: In reply to the inquiry of Chremes concerning his daughter and her mother, the following words were spoken with admirable pathos and expression Visit gnata Matrem ipsam ex mgritudine miscram inC . rs consecuta est. The scene in which the three sagacious lawyers appear was highly amusing, and the effect was heightened by the natural stammer with which one of the fraternity gave his doubtful adVice. The kind played several Overtures in first-rate style, and Mr. CARD delighted the company, between the third and fourth acts, by performing DROUET'S Variations - to the Hunting Chorus. The play commenced at about seven o'clock, immediately after the entrance of the Head Master, who was gri : eted with loud applause, the band play ing 7Sce - the conquering Mero comes. -The Oomedy, we believe, is to be performed twice inure before Christmas. AGUADO has gained his cause against the editors of the Constitutionnel, the Journal du Commerce, and the Quotidienne. These writers have been sentenced to pay a fine cf 500 francs each, and not damages, as M. AGUADO demanded. This result is far from being a triumph for the Epanish banker. The speeches of Coun sel were fatal to him, and the observations of the public prosecutor were not less grievous. " Thus," said the CROWN ADVOCATE, anticipating the condemnation of the Journals, " the vanquished, the condemned, leaves the Court with general esteem, whilst his adversary gains only an infamous victory." M. AGUADO retired from Spanish affairs, with an immense fortune, laughing at the good nature of those who had delivered their fortunes to hiin and M. BALLAS TEROS. An appeal is entered against the judgment of the First Instance. The scandal, therefore, will be prolonged, and there is reason to believe that the judgment, mild as it is, will be modified, because the first Judges were re solved to see in M. AG UADO only a private individual, although his Government has conferred a public character on him. You will have heard mention of what has taken place between M. DE LA FA RE and M. GASTON DE MONT-. MORENCY at Pont a Mausson. M. ns: MONT3IORENCY on his arrival was invited to a buiquet by the officers of his regiment. He accepted the invitation, and it was re marked that M. DE LA FARE was the only officer who was not present. M. DE MONTMORENCY said he was glad of it, and spoke in contemptuous terms of him. M. DE LA FARE being informed of this, challenged M. DE MONTMORENCY. After five pistol-shots had been fired on each side, M. DE MONTMORENCY received a bail in the breast. It is, however, believed that he will recover. M. DE LA FA RE is married to the daughter of Count DE LILLERS, Chamberlain to NAPOLEON, and posses sor of a large fortune. The marriage was not happy, It it is said that the wife was soon attacked by a serious ma lady. The young lady languished for a few months, end died. It is added that the husband asked the wife to make a will in his favour, presenting her with the draft of one, •the servile imitation of which by the dying woman in. spired her family with strong prejudices against the hus band when he came to claim the legacy. This affair, which ended in a sacrifice of money, has made an unfortu nate impression in the upper circles of society. The scandalous chronicle relates another event extremely bar barous and singular. A very young and pretty girl mar ried par raison a rich man much older than herself. The most delicate and attentive cares, prodigal marks of the warmest tenderness, occasioned the young wife to felicitate herself on her choice, and each day she boasted of her hap piness to her family. Her husband had only. a singular taste—that of swathing her like a child ; but this whim excited her laughter, without inspiring her with any alarm. Her brother, informed of this circumstance, ob tained her permission to remain concealed in a boudoir ad jo4aing the bedchamber, in order to be satisfied respecting this singular sport. The scene began. " What, my arms also?" heard the curious brother. " Yes, my sweet ; I beg of you." Soon he heard almost convulsive laughter— then all at once there was profound silence. The brother, astonished, entered the room, and beheld his sister motion : , less. Ile called assistance. The husband, by prolonged tickling on the soles of his wife's feet, had deprived her of sensation. On unfastening the bands which confined this unfortunate, only an inanimate body was found. It is pretended that this husband, so singularly cruel, has in this manner got rid of the two first women married. It is reported that the young woman has been restored to life, but that she remains in a state of complete mental alienation.—Paris Letter. The import of cotton into Liverpool, during the last fortnight, was only 370 bags : the sales, in the same period, were 43,000 bags —Liverpool Albion. An cttempt at child stealing was happily frus trated here yesterday in a most providential manner. Two ladies, accompanied by a little girl about three years old, had gone into a draper's shop, and were occupier: a few moments, when on turning round, they found that the child was gone. Immediate :search was made; but in the meantime the child had been met in the same street by the daughter (only nine years old) of a gentleman related to her. A strange man was leading the child, who at first refused to give h er up ; b ut at l as t did so, a n d went otf. The child was then restored to its delighted friends; 'and we are sorry to say no trace is left of the villain by whom she had been taken away. We suppress the names of die par ties, through consideration for the m Alter, who is in a delicate state of health, and to whom the circunisl nee re mains ya unknown.—Briyhton Gazette.; HUNTING INITLLiGtNa.

THE POST OFFlCE.—Rumours have been prevalent through town for some days past, relativo to the detection of certain clerks in the General Post Office in the commission of frauds, and their consequent dismissal On inquiry, we learned that no fraud had been thscovt - red, and that no dismissal had taken place; but some clerks have been suspended from duty, pending an investigation which has been instituted respecting the conduct of the officers whos business it was to lodge the monies re ceived from the Country Offices in the Bank of Ireland.— Dublin Morning Register. A party of four, comprising two brothers and two sisters, of the ages of 86, 85, St, and SO, all in pos session of excellent heath, and all residing in Ipswich, sat down on Wednesday evening last to a rubber of whist. The occasion of this meeting was the circumstance of the elder of the family party entering the 87th year of his age. The springs which had risen in the cellars of many houses at the north part of the town, so long back as the beginning of October, have just subsided.—Brighton Gazette. A distressing suicide has just taken place in the vicinity of this city (Exeter,) by which a highly re spectable flintily are lilunged into the deepe , t distress. The deceased was a lady of about 50 years of age, and in a fit of temporary derangement, occasioned by acute bodily suffering, swallowed a quantity of prussic acid. Her loss is the more severely felt by her afflicted relatives, as the utmost cordiality and affection have always subsisted be tween them. A jury met on Wednesday, and returned a verdict corresponding with the facts of the case, at the same time expressing their firm conviction of the tender ness proved by several respectable witnesses to have been always manifested by the husband of the deceased.— Wes ern Luminary. HASTINGS.—On Wednesday morning last, in consequence of the appearaue., of something drifting with the tide past here, about three miles from shore, several of our boats put off, when that part of a vess,l which is called the kitchen, with sundry yards, sails, hen coop, &c. was found, and conveyed to the Custom House. By the papers, which were shortly after picked up at sea wrapped in a handkerchief, it appears the above belonged to the Indus, of 295 tons, bound Irons Liverpol to Bremen, with a cargo of oil and salt ; no ti,liogs have been hard of the crew, consisting of 11 men, ard it is greatly feared they have all perished. The Indus, it is probable, was run down during the night of Monday, as Lloyd's list states a ship was run down on that night. From the circumstance of the papers being enveloped in a handkerchief, and the long boat and punt having been since picked up by some of the Preventive urn stationed to the eastward, it is conjectured that the crew had escaped from the vessel in the boats, which had subsequently upset. No account of any of the bodies having been found, has yet however reached us.—Brighton Gazette. According to the tithe composition return, printed yesterday, Templesbambo, in the diocese of Ferns, produces its fortunate rector twelve hundred pounds per annum. It became vacant in 1823, in consequence of the death of the Reverend HENRY WYNNE. It had then for a curate the Reverend BENJAMIN WALLER, and it had the same gentleman for a curate GOD knows how many years before. No doubt Mr. WALLEtt. is an excel lent clergyman—a man of high education, and one of those characers whom it is desirable, according to the doctrine of the Lora Bishop, to allure into holy or ders by prospects of high advancement. Of course the reader is prepared to learn that Mr. WALLER succeeded to this enormous benefice on the death of Mr. WYN E. And did this actually happen ;—or if it did not, was some other curate of equal or greater preten sions or services promoted ? It appears not, for the pre sent rector of Templeshambo is the Reverend HENRY PRESTON ELRINGTON, formerly rector of Kilrane, and the Reverend HENRY PRESTON ELRINGTON is one of the sons of the Lord Bishop.

When Kilduff was spoken to yesterday about the murder, instead of manifesting any compunction or remorse, he said, " d—l's pain to them. The Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Kilduff, finding his wife an accessory to the f_►ct. Two of the Jurors refused to agree in the verdict finding the wife a participator in the murder. Kilduff and his wife were committed to Newgate on the Coroner's warrant. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last week, at Ebicv•, as a little girl named LUSTY, about 10 years of age, whose mother was confined to her bed, was lighting a fire, the candle which she had placed on the ground, ignited her clothes, and before assistance could arrive burnt her e o dreadfully as to cause her death the same day.—Chelter.. ham Chronicle. MILITARY FUNERAL.—To-day one of the grandest military displays that perhaps ever took place in the city, was exhibited at the funeral of Major JOHN Mal-coLm, of the 42d Regiment. Between 300 and 400 soldiers were in the procession, with nearly 100 respec!.. able citizens, who had been invited t the funeral. A de tachment of the 42d arrived to-day from Paisley ; the officers were in deep mourning; and, as is usual at pa gentries of the kind, the coffin, surmounted with the sword, &c. of the deceased officer, was carried shoulder high to the place of interment. The procession moved iff from Wellington-place, Hutcheson-town, at two o'clock, and proceeded 'along Ad&phi-street to the Old Bridge, from thence up Stockwell-street, along Argyle-street and Queen street, to \Vest St. Vincent-street. At this period the spectacle was particularly interesting ; both sides of the street were lined with hundreds of respectable cifzens, and the balconies of the houses were crowded with fashionably 7 e:l e :he d u r a e te ss i e y d pl fe , "Dead Tw oban A d i s a , re w h it i h n isnatiaftli,7e:lB,der.o &c.: and as the funeral approached the buryi n g - g round, the hollow ' sound of the drum produced a very im p osin g effect.
