An industrious man of the name of Marsh, who rrsides at Steeple Bumpsteld, and lets out threshing machines, drill and mole ploughs, and other implements, was engaged in thre.hing at a farm in Toppesfield, on Friday, the 16th, when a warty of labourers, in number 30 and upwards, took away his machine by force, and con veyed it into the adjoining parish of Stamboul - Le, where they broke it to pieces. —E.e.r Hcruld. A man with a woe.beponc countenance came to consult Dr. Brown concerning his health, who com plained of dreadful gripings in his stomach, and a degree of inflation that made him fear lest he shuuld burst. Dr. Brown immediately inquired into his diet, and he con fessed that during, the heat of the day ho had eaten two large water-melons, and afterwards had drunk proportion ably of water of the wells. We all laughed heartily at the dismal countenance of this water-melon glutton, and offered him some brandy, which he sairl he dared not touch, being a sheriffe. We then explained to him that Afahomet allowed the use of that liquor as a medicine.— To this he seemed anxious to agree, and, seizing a tumbler nearly full, he swallowed the contents with all die ease imaginable, but making dreadful grimaces afterwards, as be smacked his lips with inward delight. The liquor soon began to act on his bead, and, while the juice of the water melons seemed oozing nut of his inflamed eyes, he laid his hand on his fat belly, exclaiming, Bonn tibid, bonn—a good doctor, good. At last sleepiness began to overcome him, and he reeled nut of the tent, to the great amusement of our guards, praying Allah to forgive him for using so cursed a liquor as a medicine.—Beauclerh's Journey to Morocco. A COURTED BACIIELOR.—In the cathedral city where I visited a friend some years ago, there were 43 single women, from sixteen to fifty, and only three mar riageable men. Let any one imagine the delight of receivt• ing the most flattering attentions of fifteen women at once. some of them extremely pretty and agreeable; or, I should rather say, front forty-five, since the three bachelors, poli tically avoiding all appearance of preference, were courted equally by nearly the whole phalanx of the sisterhood.— One of the enviable men being just of age, was indeed ton young to excite hopes in the elderly ladies, but another mow fortunate, if he knew his happiness, ss.i si bona ',pelt, was exposed to the attacks, more or lees open, of every nninarried woman. Alas! he was in sensible to his privileges; a steady man of fifty-five, a dignitary of the church, devoted to study, and shy is his habits, he seemed to shrink from the kind at tentions he received, and to wish for a less favoured, a less glerions state of existence. His desires seemed limited to reading the Fathers, writing sermons, and doing his duty as a divine ; and he appeared of opinion that no helpmate was required to fulfil them. But still the indefatigable phalanx of forty-five, with three cr four widows as auxiliaries, continued their attacks, and his age as I before ebserved, was fatally encouraging the hopes of each. The youngest looked in their glasses and remembered the power of youth and beauty ; the middle-aged calculated on the good sense and propriety of character of their object., and where " sure that lie would never marry a girl ;" and the most elderly exaggerated his gravity, thought of shovel hat, and seemed to suppose every woman under fifty !oust he too giddy for its wearer. Meanwhile, what a life he led ; his opinions law ; his wishes gospel ; the cathedral crowded when he preached ; churches at tended ; schools visited ; waltzing calumniated ; novels concealed ; shoulders covered ; petticoats lengthened—all to gain his approving eye. The fact is, his sphere of use ful influence was much enlarged by his sink state : as a married man, he could only have reformed his wife ; as a bachelor, he exercised undisputed power over every spin titer in his neighbourhood. He wax, indeed, unconscious of or ungratified by the deference and incense he received ; but the generality of men are less insensible, and half the homage he so carefully rejected would have been sufficient to intoxicate with delight and se lf- comp l acenc y th e gr ea t part of his fraterni ty.—wArete mommy Magazine.

Dr. Ryan observes in his essay on the supply of water to the metropolis, mid an account of its simple and corn liined states, with the chemical composition, and medical uses, of all the most noted mineral waters in Europe, in diseases of the stomach, liver, and in hypoeliondriasis, hysteria, &c. :—" The fluid, which is the vehicle of human food and nourishment, must . have a constant and powerful agency on the animal machine, and hence the great neces sity of the purity and salubrity of that fluid." The Medical and Surgical Review says, the author has displayed great research and ingenuity in this work ; and the learned doctor adds, " the Royal Filter " will chrystal7 lize and render free from taste and smell the most foetid stagnant water, eves that supplied from the Thames, when strongly impregnated with gas. THE WATER DOCTOR.—Every body who knows Charles Mathews aho knows that he is a very Censitive man, par ticularly in all matters relating to health, cleanliness, and diet. The comedian lives at Kentish Town, and a wag visiting him the other day, took with him a powerful mi croscope, by the aid of which he showed Mathews that he had for a long periml been swallowiug myriads of animal coke and other impurities in every glsss of water he had drunk. Duly impressed with the impm tance of the subject, the comedian Nval ruminating on the best mode of cleansing his stomach and purifying his pipes from the sediment of the company's water, when he by chance came into contact with his friend George Robins. The cause of his distress was quickly communicated to the facetious auctioneer, who as quickly bit upon a core for his friend's alarm. Mathews was immediately driven to the office of the Royal Filter in die Strand (of which George Robins is the patentee); some of the foulest of the common sewer impurity, called water, impregnated with all sorts of unutterable things, from Cloa cina to coal gas, was placed in the cistern, mid in less than one minute came forth clear, pure, and fresh as the crystal line stream. "Is this a pantomime trick ?" said Ma thews ;" it cannot be real." " Taste and try," said the patentee. The comedian was fully satisfied of the wonder ful properties of the " Royal Filter," and immediately or dered one, prognosticating that he should now be a water drinker for the rest of his life." THE HOME SECRETARY AND THE COURT OF ALDERMEN. The conference about to be held between Mr. Peel and the Court of Aldermen, on the subject of the state of the city prisons, is expected to be at tended with very satisfactory results as regards the course pursued by the Hon. Court. The report from the Gaol Committee, of which Alderman Wood has been fur a considerable period most actively engaged, has comprehended all the points of Mr. Peel's letter. It states, that after a due examination of the gaol of Newgate, in con formity with Mr. Peel's view of the classification of prisoners there, it was ascertained that an ade quate classification was attainable without putting the city to the enormous expense of increasing the size of the prison ; that the increase of the size of the prison would be attended with the inconvenience of discharging, as quickly as pos sible, all the county prisons into Nesvgate ; that it would be desirable if the county Magistrates would direct that the prisoners committed by them for petty offences should be detained in the county prisons, as was formerly the case, until within a few days of the session on which the accused were to take their trials, and then sent into the gaol of Newgate; that the building of the new county prison in Middlesex, and the condition of the prisons in which prisoners were lodged previously to committal, favoured this arrangement, and that the object of classification would also be effectually facilitated b y as speedy a disposal of convicts after trial as possible. It is also stated in the report, that the object would be made further more attainable by recording the capital sentences where it is not the intention to inflict that penalty, as is the case with the Judges on circuit. Irpon the propriety of concurring in this report, there was no hesitation in the Court, we understand, except upon the part of Alderman Atkins, who stated that Alder man Wood was the whole committee himself,—that he took upon himself to do every thing—to he every thing. He (Alderman Atkins) was net at all satisfied with this way of getting up reports upon gaols. These observations were dissented from strongly by every member of the Court. Alderman WOOD denied that he had arrogated to him self any undue control in the committee. Alderman ScuotEr thought the observations of Alder man'Atkins extremely unjust and uncalled for. Every one who had an opportunity of observing the conduct of Alderman Wood could not but bear testimony to the great assiduity with which he endeavoured to forward the into rests of his fellaw-citizens; and if Alderman Wood hap pened to be more attentive to business than other gentle men, sorely he was not to be blamed. The great anxiety shown upon all occasions by that worthy Alderman to serve the citizens of London would not be miseontrued into an opposite feeling by those who were capable of appreciating his exertions. These were evidently the sentiments of the whole Court, with the exception of Alderman Atkins, who repeated his charge, hut without effect. The conference, it is supposed, may embrace the subject of the refusal of the Court to allow warrants to be available in the city without being hacked by a City Magistrate. 'lle city committees have scratched nut the names of all persons crt their lists who have been guilty of defrauding by false measures, or who have not paid 20s. in the pound. Some of the Aldermen and of the Commoners have come in for a scratch, and cannot serve. The committees dine together after the performance of their duties. The very interesting phenomenon of the Iris, or rainbow, was accidentally produced-on Monday last, at Witham. The inhabitants were trying the force of a fire engine, which they have lately received from London, the Economic engine playing at the same time, and both forming a sort of semi-circular shower in four streams, when a beautiful arch was observed in the spray, having all the prismatic colours of the simple rainbow. It was owing, no doubt, to that power, which any small dis persed particles of water have of producing this, we were going to say, artificial rainbow, from their refractive pro. perties, when opposed to the sun's rays. It has been doubted whether the same effect has ever been discovered from causes so purely incidental.—Esser Herald. Due. , - LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY SO, 1829. It is said that an extraordinary Courier has arrived in Paris, bringing an account that the Emperor NICHOLAS has given orders to the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE to march, at the head of the Polish army, to occupy the Princi palities, while the Russian army pursues its operations in Turkey• We do not believe that the EMPEROR would disclose his plan so soon if he really intends to act as stated. Brussels Papers of yesterday's date have been received. The only thing worthy of notice, in a political way, is the denial by the Austrian Ob server, that considerable armaments are making in the Austrian Empire, and particularly towards the Venetian territory. Prince METTERNICH' is unfortunate in his domestic hopes—his Prin cess having suddenly died Just as a British Ca binet messenger was leaving Vienna. If we re collect rightly, it was only a few months ago that they were married. Bombay Papers to the lith August have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but they contain no intelligence of interest. We are sorry to understand that the season had been unusually fatal to Euro peans—many deaths are recorded, and cholera morbus was afflicting► the Settlement to a very alarming degree. German rapers of the 23d inst. have been received this morning. They contain some ac counts from the frontiers of Servia, dated the 6th, the purport of which is, that the Turks are reinforcing their garrisons on the Danube—and distributing large masses of troops over the country, in consequence of the great priva tions to which they are reduced for want of provisions. In fact, such is the distress at Shumla for food, that upwards of twenty thousand men are ordered towards the Danube, because it was found impossible to provide for them st head-quarters. It was this movement of ne cessity, on the part of the Turks, which the Germans some time ago trumpeted into a winter campaign, and informed us that the Turks were on the point of crossing the Danube and invad ing the Principalities. On the other hand, we are now told that the Russians are preparing bridges at Galacz for the passage of a Russian army over the Danube by the first of April. Unless the Russians make peace without trying a second campaign, we should not be surprized to hear of their passing the Danube in force by the first of March : FRONTIERS OF SERYIA, JAN. 6. Coraiderable reinforcements of troops have ar rived in the Turkish fortresses on the Danube. From a list of the rations which the commissaries have to furnish in each of these fortresses an esti mate of their reinforcements may be made. From this list which we have lying before us it appears that the garrison of Widdin consisted before of 13,000 foot, 4,000 horse, and 1,200 artillery. Since the Ist December rations have been distributed to 20,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry, and 1,200 artillery. Nicopoli, properly an open town, with a citadel, had to 20th Nov., 6,000 foot, 1,000 horse, and 400 artillery. Orders were given to provide by the Ist December provisions and forage for 8,000 in fantry, 10,000 cavalry, and 4,000 artillery. Th ese troops were to come from Shumla, because the dif ficulty of providing for them at head-quarters daily increased, and therefore it became necessary to dis tribute them in more extended cantonments. Se mandia had on the 15th Nov. 4,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry. The infantry amounted on the Ist December to 6,000 men. At Rustschuk, up to Bth November, rations were provided for 16,000 infantry, 4,000 cavalry, and 200 artillery. Since the Bth December, there have been 92,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry, and 2,500 artillery. These last rein forcements are said likewise to have come from the army about the Balkan. The amount of the garrison of Silistria is not mentioned in the list, because the supplies for that fortress come from the interior, whereas those for troops are said to be in pretty good condition, as far as that can be affirmed of Turkish troops, and to be impatient for _orders to commence offensive opera tions and pass the Danube, to gratify their love of plunder. Such measures, however, have been taken by the Russians in the Principalities, as to remove all Apprehensions of any considerable incursions into those provinces. (From the Nuremburg Courier.) FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, JAN. 2. At Gallacz pontoons are preparing for a bridge, whicb is to be ready for the passage of a Russian army over the Danube at Hirsowa, at the beginning of April. The Pacha of Silistria is gone, as we hear, to Rustahuck to inspect the fortifications, and to have them put in the most complete state a de fence. Some Polish officers of rank have arrived at Bucharest, the object of whose coming is not known, though it is still reported that Prince Con stantine gill come to Wallachia with a Polish army. 'Notices have been issued, fixing a time for the deli very of tenders for the maintenance of 6,500 sick, which will be left to the lowest bidder. Baron Sekellario has, according to contract, delivered in a short time 52,000 chetwerts of wheat for the Rus sian army, a proof that Wallachia is not so ex hausted as has been affirmed. The epidemic ditto', 'tiers seem to hare abated in consequence of the cold weather; at least the number of deaths latterly re ported is smaller. An article from Smyrna, says that the Emperor of RUSSIA has given an estate in the Crimea to JUSSUF PACHA, which produces the annual rent of 25,000 measures of corn, a gold sword, and a considerable sum of money. If the above be correct, how is it that we have the first intimation from the Turks ? New York Papers to the Ist of January, and Quebec Papers to the 25th December, have been received. The following are the only extracts worth giving : (From the Quebec Paper of the 24th December.) The weather during the latter part of last week has been extremely cold; the thermometer for several mornings was as low as 16 below zero; in the coun try, and in Cape Diamond it fell yesterday to 20. The supply of provisions to the markets are plentiful. The following Resolution passed the New York Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday : Resolved—That the New York Chamber of Com merce cannot concur in the views of the Philadel phia Chamber of Commerce contained in their Me morial to Congress, in favour of compulsatory ware housing and cash duties, and that they consider the system of credits in duties, which has stood the test of forty years' experience, to be less expensive and more convenient to the merchant, less burthensome to commerce and more economical to the Revenue, and better calculated to secure its collection than the substitutes which are proposed. Resolved—That the President transmit this Re solution to the President of the Philadelphia Cham ber of Commerce. A private Correspondent of the Times at Paris, in referring to the impatience of parties to see the Ministry complete by the Office for Foreign Affairs being filled up, observes, " that on Saturday the KrN G, after transacting business with the Keeper of the Seals, who is interim Minister for Foreign Affairs, announced to his Excellency that his intention was to confer the portsftuillc ofthc Foreign Department on Prince PoLIGNAc. The Minister was struck at the Royal declaration, and compelled to demonstrate that the introduction of M. de POLIGNAC into the Cabinet, in present circumstances, was impossible : he asked leave to retire to collect his ideas, and to mature the lodgment which his duty would lead him to give to his master, and which he would lay before him in a written memorial in the course of the evening. The memorial was accordingly drawn up and delivered. On the following day, M. de MARTIGNAC being sent for by the DAUPHIN, was asked, in rather a peevish tone, if the King could not make a Minister at his own pleasure ?' His Excellency, making a respectful obeisance, re plied, Yes, Sir, he can make nine at once.' This ingenious manner of announcing the con certed resignation of the Ministry made a deep impression on his Royal Highness. The council was thus thrown into a labyrinth." Yesterday was the anniversary of his Majesty's Accession to the Throne ; the Tower and Park guns fired a double Royal salute at one o'clock, and the Royal standard of England was displayed at several public edifices, and on some church steeples. FRENCH AND E%GLISH TRAVELLING.-- A recent French writer, describing the state of travelling in France and England, says—" In France the postillions are frequently drunk, always dirty, and the most coarse and intractable people in the world. In England the con trast is most striking : both men and cattle are always well dressed ; the drivers with white cravats, good jackets, and well-napped great-coats ; their horses harnessed as if for some grind ceremony. In France a postillion takes care, first of his own safety, and then of that of his horseo ; to him the safety of the traveller is a concern of anpereroga tion. In England the traveller commands the shiver—in France he obeys him." The department of the Var has not been exempt from these missions which have called at Nogent le Rotron for tke interference of the tribunals. In a vil lage railed Calas, not far from Dragninen, the chief of the mission led all the women to the bnrial-ground ; then he caused the earth to he dug until he had discovered a head, which he took np, and, showing it to the persons who sur_ rounded him, drew a dreadful picture of death and hell. The shades of night, which were approaching, added to this scene of terror. The women uttered sighs, sobs, and cries of agony. The mission try, with bare feet, a rope about his neck, and a large crucifix in hi. hand, made the circuit of the cemetery, sent forth sad lamentations, and crying for mercy for the sinners of Calm— Constitutiowneb The proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre p r id e theinmelves on having a Rplendid wardrobe, in which they do not, we presume, include their atilt in Chancery. MARCH OF EQUALITY.—The other day, t he " Boots•' of one of the first Inns in Manchester•, absented himself from the house the whole of one day. On his appearance the next morning, hie master gave him his discharge, upon which master Boots attempted to re monstrate with •him, bat " Mint Host" refused for some time to listen to him ; till at length, wearied with his im portunities, he said, " Well, what was the cause of your absence yesterday ?" " Why," said Boots, " Day and Martin's traveller was in town, and I was taking wine with him at the Palace Inn 1" ~ ~~ FROM LLOYD'S.

The business of the day having been opened by a vote of 50/. to the Coast Guard at Dingle, for their meritorious services in saying the lives of a number of mariners, ship- wrecked on that coast, having been confirmed unanimously, the report in question was read ; it recommended that Mr. Gray on signing a dissolution of partnership with the second Master, Mr. Bolton, should be allowed a stan of 200/. per annum, for life. That the salary of the first waiter (2500 should be done away with altogether, and the present waiters advanced, but remaining with their present salaries ; that the duties; of the master in tke sub seription-room and in the Captain's room separated for the frame, and the benefits of the latter confined to the pro , fits arising. from the sale of refreshments, Ike.. instead of receiving a salary, taking off the payment which was made from this quarter to another retired waiter ; that in con formity to the wad practice, the report recommends the oldest waiter, Mr. Joseph Spencer, to the sub scribers for the new Master of the Snbcription-room, and that the salary be 400/. per annum, subject to An ad •ance at the decease of the retired master, if it should be deemed proper to make such at a future time. On a mo tion that the report be adopted from the Ist January, 1829, some discussion arose whether the word adopt should be read or received ; at length the former resolution was ad hered to, and also it was agreed is print the report, together with the present bye laws Mr the government of the Sub scribers at a meeting , to he held on the 6th Feb. 1829, at which time any improvement might be made, if such should he deemed better fiat the general advantage and be nefit of the Subscribers. An increase to the salary of the second clerks in the Secretary's Office of 20/. was also re commended by the Committee, as well as the profits arising from the sale of newspapers, and the meeting ad journed till this day week.

The Earl of Winchelsea has sent a letter to the Mayor of Cork, thanking him for the Freedom of the City with which the Corporation had honoured him for his exertions on Pcnenden Heath. AFFAIR OF HONOUR.----A meeting took place this morning at seven o'clock, near the Red llonse, Battersea, betsveen Mr. Nathan, the celebrated composer, and P. Lepiper, Esq., C—n Office. The preliminaries being finished shots were exchanged, and the former re ceived a slight wound in the fleshy part of the right arm, after which matters Were adjusted by the interference of the seconds. The dispute arose through some strong per sonal allusions made on a lady of high rank and talent, whom both gentlemen had been in the habit of visiting. ROYAL LEARNINTO.—The King of Persia made many inquiries of Sir llarford Jones respecting Ame rica, saying, " What sort of a place is it ? flow do you get at it ? Is it underground or how r. we hare more than once heard of instances where people had met with such severe accidental nits aCrOl*li their fingers, as nearly to separate the one part from the other, with the exception of a perfect tack by which the two were held together, yet that when speedily applied to the parts from which they hail just been separated, they have completely adhered, anti been as useful fingers afterwards as any other. Ent till lately w e did not know that the Caine principle had ever been applied on the accidental loss of teeth. Yet tree it is that a young boy, the son of a respectable gentleman in Castle-Dongles, some time ago by chance got one of his front teeth knocked ont, and this tooth having been immediately replaced in its socket, very soon began to adhere, and is now as firm and usefnl a masticator as he has in his whole dental array. —Dumfries Journal. MILITARY CHARACTER OF THE lIINDOO. —Patience under suffering, composure, and even sung froid, within the jaws of death, are prominent charac teristics of the llindoo, sad ought indeed to put to shame those among their conquerors who, boasting higher attri butes of courage and virtue, pretend to look down upon tl•em with contempt. No one meets death with less ap parent dread than the Hindoo ; and when imbued with a sense of honour, as among the military casts, no one can display snore heroism. I have repeatedly seen them re fuse quarter, when the European would have courted mercy even in chains. Wherefore, then, are we always victorious in our contests with them ? It cannot proceed, in every instance, from superiority in the art of war, for bodies of troops must sometimes clash in such a way that discipline can avail neither party. The truth lies in this, that the courage of the Ilindon is of a passive nature, while that of the European is active ; the former being inert, has only its own weight to give it power, the latter has activi►y to increase its momentum.— Twelve Years' Military Adven ture: 0 L, FA I .) This morning another Petty Sessions was held al the workhouse, Little Gray's-Inn-lane, for the put , pose (as it was stated on the last occasion) of finally deciding the question between the parish o f St. Andrew's, Holborn, and the occupiers of chamber!! in Lincoln's-inn, respecting the liability of the latter to contribute towards the poor rates. At eleven o'clock the Magistrates, Mr. Purvis, Mr. Becket, Mr. Orme, Mr. Baker, and Captain Tomlinson, took their seats. Mr. TAYLort (the Vestry Clerk) said it was his duty to state to the Magistrates what state the'ne gociation relative to the question before them was now is :—The parish took out summonses for arrears of poor-rates, amounting to 12,0001. to which they were entitled; yet, to settle the business amicably, they offered to take :3,0901. if the Benchers, at their own expense, would go to Parliament, and'obtain an Act which would in future obviate any further diffi culties. The CHAIRMAN enquired if the Benchers had made any specific offer ? Mr. TAYLOR—None whatever; they tell us they have no offer to make. Mr. BLACKBURN, for himself, though not a Bencher, would agree to any thing they did, although he had no doubt they could contest the question against the parish with success, and finally a Court of Justice would declare them extra-parochial. After some further discussion, the Magistrates said they would adjourn to the 14th Feb., but posi tively they would not consent to any further ad journment. The room was crowded with barristers.

A fanner of Stoke St. Gregory, last week, lost five valuable cows by the disease similar to that which is now so prevalent amongst the sheep pasturing in the low lands of this county.—Sherborue Journal. GENTEEL STYLE OF ROBBlNG.—Between Saturday night and Monday morning last, the counting house of Mr. William Fairelough, in Tablet'-street, was broken into. The thieves entered through the roof, and are supposed to have retin ned the same way, but without ' taking any thing. The iton chest appeared undisturbed, but most of the drawers, &c. hail been ransacked. The thieves seem to hare been of the genteeler sort, as they had the politeness to leave their card for Mr. Fairclough, in the form of an inscription on a piece of broken glass—" John Roberts' compliments." It is most probable the visiteri were boys, as the aperture in the ceiling is only ten inches by fourteen. Most of the offices in the neighbourhood have at different times been ransacked, and therefore no thing of value is ever left en the premises.--Liverpool Courier. •
