BROTHERS, IN HAMBURGH ; but neither the denomination BANKERS, or LOTTERY CON TRACTORS, or MERCHANTS, nor any other, is required on the Address; and Letters directed HEINE BROTHERS, IN HAMBITRGH, without any further remarks or description, will do for any Branch of our multifarious Business. We beg further to observe, that a Letter with one enclosure doubles the postage only, but several en closures would by far increase the same ; thus 201. 401, or 801., for instance, if remitted in one Bank of England Note would only cause double postage ' • but 201. remitted in two Ten-pound Notes, or Four Five-pound Notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is, therefore, most advisable for those liaving to remit money to Hamburgh to forward the amount, whenever possible, in One Note, or One Check, or one Bank Post Bill, &c. &c. The same is advisable on receiving Money from Hamburgh; Of course, large sums, to be received from Hamburgh, amounting to some or many thousands may rather be received in Bills of Exchange on London. _ _ All tliose having to give any Orders for such Branches of our Business as CANNOT BE EXECUTED LATER THAN BY THE MAIL FROM HAMBURGH OF THE 28th OF MARCH, are requested TO LOSE NO TIME IN FORWARDING THE SAME, and to FORWARD THEM BY THE REGULAR STEAMER, as the Post via France takes too long.

In the House of Lords, yesterday, the sitting was but of short continuance. Amongst the petitions presented on Church -rates, and various other subjects, were two, praying that no alteration be made in the present Poor-law Amend ment Act—an Act, said the Duke of RicHmoND, the most beneficial which had ever passed their Lordships' House. After some remarks by Lord BROUGHAM on the Scotch and Irish Vagrants' Bill, the third reading was postponed till th e 6th of April. The Wills Bill was read a third time, and passed. In the House of Commons, Lord Joke.; RUSSELL, in answer to a question from Mr. LAMBTON, stated that it was not the intention of Government to proceed with the Church-rates Bill till after the Easter Recess. A new writ was ordered for the borough of Warwick, in the room of the Hon. C. CANNING, now called to the other House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated, in reference to Mr. HOR NER and the Factory Act, that it was the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown, that those regulations, adopted by that gentleman, which related to the judging of the age of children from the strength of their persons only, without referring to any other evidence which might be given of their actual ages, were not in conformity with the spirit of the Act ; and that a communication to that effect had been conveyed to Mr. HORNER, the Commissioner. Lord ASaLEY said he was satisfied, and should not now press the motion of which he had previously given notice. Mr. MACLEAN gave notice that on the 20th of April, he would move for Returns relative to the College of Maynooth, and he would then draw the attention of the House to the condition of the second order of the Ca. tholic Priesthood in Ireland. A short conversation ensued on Spanish affairs. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, with Mr. ROEBUCK'S concur rence, fixed the debate on the affairs of Canada for the first. Wednesday after Easter. In reference to the Imprisonment for Debt Bill, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he should forward that measure with as little delay as possible. Mr. O'CONNELL brought forward a motion respecting statements in Mr. E. TENNENT'3 speech at Belfast. The statements involved the character of the MASTER of the RoLr.s. The Learned Gentleman afterwards withdrew his motion, and gave notice that he should bring it forward on the first Friday after the Recess. The House went into Committee on the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill. The various clauses were considered, and the Report was ordered to be taken into consideration r.n Wednesday. The only Division which took place was on the 96th clause, when Mr. S. CRAwrotto moved as an amendment that the LORD LIEUTENANT should not possess the rower of rejecting the Sheriffs elected by the Town-Councils. The House adjourned at a Quarter-past Twelve o'Clock. Our readers will perceive by by the Parliamentary pro ceedings that the Church-rate Bill is postponed till after the Easter holidays. It will then be brought in, and, we trust, under such auspices as to hold out a well-grounded hope that, in its passage through the House, it will conciliate to itself the favour of many who arc at present either hostile or undecided. Much, however, must depend upon the efforts, during the in terval, of those throughout the country who are opposed to the continuance of Church-rates. The advocates of abolition must not rest satisfied with what they have already done. A new state of circumstances having arisen, new exertions are required to meet it. It is now necessary that the country should declare its opi nion of the Ministerial measure on the principle of which the Houte of Commons has decided. In pro portion as declarations in its behalf are numerously signed by the people will be the favour it receives at the hands of their representatives. A broad hint from an influential portion of a constituency has a wonderful effect in enlightening the mind, and renewing the will, aye and in melting the heart, of an Hon. Member. Let the Abolitionists then, and all the friends of civil and religious liberty, hold meetings, and send up peti tions to Parliament, expressing their cordial approba tion of the great and healing measure which his Ma jesty's Ministers have introduced to the attention of the Legislature, and their determination to support them, by all the constitutional means in their power, in carrying it on to a successful issue. This duty is the more incumbent on the Abolitionists, because the Clergyare taking the most unjustifiable advantage of the ignorance of the peasantry, in order to prevent the success of the new measure. These messengers of truth and peace are going about, in almost all the country parishes, deceiving the simple and ignorant rustics into the belief that the object of those who are for doing away with Church-rates is, to bring in a Bill for pulling down all the Churches. By such false representa tions they procure signatures to their petitions from multitudes of the people, who, Were they tightly in formed as to the intentions of the Government, would be most anxious to see its views carried into execu tion. Such petitions in great numbers have been thus fraudulently got up, and are used by the Bishops and such pettifogging Statesmen as Lord WYNFORD as instruments of factious opposition. We are happy to see that active Anti-Church'rate operations have already commenced in various places. A splendid Meeting was held yesterday at Chelmsford in order to forward the good cause, and to convince the public that there are a few respectable people in Chelmsford besides those who signed the petition presented the other night by Lord \V YN FORD. The all-bid-one unanimous petition of the. Rector and inhabitants of Croydon has been also met in the true spirit by a counter-petition signed by the owners and farmers of many thousand acres of land in Surrey praying for total abolition. Meetings with the same object are, we are informed, about to be held in many other places. This is the true way to succeed. We rejoice to see the French Chamber of Depu ties at length showing something like the spirit and independent conduct of a representative body. Since the commencement of the present reign the KING has made use of them only as tools to carry his own selfish views into effect, or to register act after act for restraining the liberties of the people ; but the re sult of the affairs at Strasburg and La Vendee—the feeling throughout the country, as evinced by the ver dicts of Juries, and more particularly the bad feeling towards Royalty displayed in the Army—seem to have awakened them to a sense of duty. The KING has been defeated on several important questions this ses sion ; and in all probability, he will not succeed to his wishes in one to which he attaches the greatest impor tance—making provision for the younger branches of his family. Is it surprising that the French people should be so much opposed to these grants to a Prince who has already an enormous private fortune, and a Civil List larger perhaps than that of any Sovereign in Europe, when they reflect how ill he has maintained the character of the country, or sustained the glory of the national arms, since he mounted the throne. From the commencement of the struggle in Poland to the disasters at Constantine, what has he done for either ? The Poles were led to expect his support, and were miserably deceived. He promised his assistance to the Liberals in Spain, and gave it to the blood-stained Don CARLOS. He suffered the nation to undergo the reproaches, and submit to the menaces of the United States of America, and then paid the money —for the fault, though attributed to the Chamber, was the fault of the KING and his Ministers. Through means of a base agent he quarrelled %%ith a peaceable neighbouring Republic, and, though the aggressor, he covered the whole frontier with his troops and Custom-house officers ; put a stop to its trade ; and subjected to great loss and suffering the in habitants, who, high-spirited and braver, were vet obliged to yield to a nation so vastly superior in power and numbers. Has he made any atone ment by his domestic government for such con duct towards Poland, Spain, and Switzerland ? In almost every new law he has circumscribed more and more the liberties of the people, till he has at last destroyed the two great pillars of free government—the Liberty of the Press, and Trial by Jury. Every friend of the French people, and every friend of peace and good government throughout Eu rope, must think and speak of his conduct both in anger and sorrow. Louis PHILIPPE knows well that he has given the French people and the French Army just causes for dissatisfaction, and he cannot, therefore, be surprised that their representatives begin to rebel against his Sovereign will. For his own sake, but chiefly for the sake of his people, and the peace of Europe, we pray that he may watch the signs of the times, before he provokes a third revolution, which would sweep another line of the BOURBON race from the soil of France. The Paris Papers of Sunday bring no further ac counts of the reported defeat of General EVANS, and his retreat to San Sebastian. We can, therefore, only repeat the doubts of the authenticity of the statement, communicated by the French telegraph, which we con sidered it incumbent upon us to urge yesterday. It is possible that General EVAN'S may have been driven back to San Sebastian ; but even that will not ac count for the rumours of his defeat which were current in London on Saturday evening. But whether victo rious or vanquished, it is some consolation to know that the ultimate triumph of the Constitutional cause depends not upon the bravery and the success of General EvANs. Were the British Auxiliary Legion driven into the sea by the Carlists, and every foot of territory North of the Ebro in possession of Don CARLOS, the Pretender would be as far removed from the Crown of Spain as he is at this moment. The Pretender, unless England and France unite heartily against him, may succeed in drenching the Peninsula with seas of blood—he may let loose the vilest passions, and, by encouraging those crimes that strike at the roots of civilised society, he may afflict Spain with a moral pestilence from the dregs of which a century will be too short to deliver her ; but never shall the Crown of FERDINAND VII. encircle his brows. The Carlist Quotidienne, in trumpeting the defeat of General EVANS, congratulates its readers upon the << Royal troops of England having shared in the rout, one battalion of marines having covered the retreat ;" adding in an insolent tone of triumph, " the British flag was obliged to fly befOre thole soldiers whom Lord PA LMERSTON calls banditti. The dishonour of this defeat falls on the entire nation." Now the dishonour of this retreat—if it really took place, and under circumstances to reflect dishonour upon the vanquished—can no more fall upon the Bri tish nation than the glory of the victory can be attri buted with justice to France, by whose Foreign Le gion disbanded at Pau, and now; serving in the ranks of Don CARLOS, it must have been mainly achieved, if achieved at all. There is something so dastardly in the observations of the French Journals upon the con duct of the Legion, that we are really more astonished at than annoyed by them. Assuming the account of the retreat of General EVANS to San Sebastian to be true, what are we to think of the bravery of a bat talion, probably not 300 strong, which effec tually covered the retreat of from 10,000 to 12,000 troops hotly pursued by a force which cannot have fallen short of 30,000 ? Before we admit that General EvANs' defeat was either discreditable to his own talents as an officer, or dishonourable to the British flag, we must he informed of the way in which it was conducted, and the strength of the enemy. To prove to our Gallic Contemporaries, however, that the affair does not give us much uneasiness, as far as regards our 'national glory, we will freely charge ourselves with the dishonour of the defeat, if France will only be equally ready to attribute to our generous sympathy, and spon taneous support, the political regeneration of Spain. Be the result what it may, we shall not think the less approvingly of the conduct of General EVANS in attacking the Carlists. If SAARSFIELD be really a secret partizan of Don CARLOS, as is confidently re ported in Paris, the sooner he is unmasked the better. The defeat of EVANs—if confirmed in the way re ported by the telegraphic dispatches of the 17th and ISth instant—will remove all doubts of GeneralSA A Rs- F ELD'S treachery. The Moniteur of the lgth has no official part. The Journal de Paris has this morning the following article :—" According to fresh inrorriiatian Which we have received to-day, from ttome, we can again affirm that his Holiness has done every thing in his power to induce his Grace the Archbishop of Paris to observe a conduct more becoming, and especially more Christian, towards the Government. The exalted wisdom of the Supreme Head of the Church fully comprehends how, con trary to the attitude assumed by M. de Ruelen is to the duties of a Bishop, as well as to the interests of religion ; how it cherishes fatal prejudices which ought to be removed; how it al'enates minds which ought to be attracted by the viandelital virtues of which a trt ntrable Cardinal, M. de Cheveurs, gave to splendid an example. The heart of the So vereign Pontiff is deeply affected. We could wish that M. de Quelen would condescend succinctly to inform us on what text of Scripture he relies to resist, we do not say the temporal power, but the fraternal counsels and entreaties of the Pope himself. It was not thus, we think, that Fenelon acted. The source from which we have derived these particulars prevents us more positively to vouch for their authenticity."— Journal du Commerce, March 19. We find the following conversation in the Quotidienne, and leave to that journal the entire responsibility of it : " It is said that Lord Granville had the other day a con versation with a well-known personage, respecting the speech which was made by M. Villiers. The interlocutor of Lord Granville is reported to have said :—' Toasts to everbody ex cept me This is an affront. It is, however, only a consequence of another very unbecoming omission in the speech of your Sovereign ; but on due consideration I do not complain that Mr. Villiers and the Spanish demagogues said nothing about me. I should have been sorry to see my name mixed up with these revolutionary Saturnalia ; but I nevertheless remark how ill England is disposed towards me. For my part lam likewise not much inclined to much affection for it ; its alliance has been more fatal than useful to me, and if England had not been the first to acknowledge the transactions of 1830, I certainly should not have done what I have done, and I be lieve, my Lord, that I and my famil3 would have been the bet ter for it.' "—Journal du Commerce, March 18. There is very little domestic intelligence of any mo ment in the French Journals of Sunday. Some trifling alarm was excited in Paris by reports of a disturbance having taken place at Amiens, in the quelling of which the National Guard refused to take any part. The disturbance arose out of the imposition of a tax on provisions imposed by the Municipal Council. This tax was formerly levied on provisions sold within the walls ; but various measures having been taken by pur chasers to evade its collection, by buying without the gates of the city, the municipality resolved, at last, to extend it to the suburbs. The populace resisted the collectors ; a riot ensued ; and the National Guard declining to interfere, the Prefect called out the 2d regiment of Cuirassiers, who put the mob to flight, and secured' the ringleaders, who were conveyed forth with to prison. In the evening an immense crowd of the lowest characters assembled round the prison ; and demanded the instant liberation of their comrades. The cavalry again made their appearance, and after encountering a shower of missiles, succeeded in clearing the streets, and restoring order. The marked attention with which the King begins to treat the Duchess de DINO, niece of old TALLEY RAND, is the theme of much speculation in the diplo matic circles of Paris. The Nouvelle Minerve states that his MAJESTY sat by her on Saturday last for a full hour, and during that time talked to her with much apparent earnestness. Now, really, trifles of this kind are too ridiculous to make such a pother about. Were the Duchess de DINO handsome, and Louis PHIL LIPPE some twenty years younger than he is, we would find it very easy to point out many sub jects that might engage them in one hour's earnest conversation, without once alluding to the strength or weakness of a Ministry or a party. Even as matters stand between his MAJESTY and the Duchess, we could suppose a conversation apart from politics. Half the evil in all these cases originates in attaching so much importance to circumstances really below the notice of independent Journalists. If the Press were wise enough to suppress the tittle-tattle of the vulgar great--to leave fine Ladies and Noble Lords to make the world acquainted with their idle gossip at Court—it would exercise twice the influence it now does over the well-being of society. In the following extracts from the French Journals we have inserted an article from the Quotidienne, purporting to be the substance of a conversation between our Ambassador at the French Court and the citizen KING. 'We need hardly remark, that we do not credit a syllable of it. It is manifestly a Royalist fabrication, for which there cannot have been the least grounds. That Louis PHILIPPE felt, and feels, annoyed at the omission of his name in the Royal Speech delivered at the opening of Parliament is true, because his Ministers admitted as much when interrogated respecting the cause of the omission in the Chamber of Deputies ; but it is not true that the French Government considered the omission as a manifestation of bad feeling on the part of England. On the contrary, both the K ING and M. MOLE rightly understood the omis sion as a mark, not of but of disapprobation of the King of the FRENCH'S policy with regard to the Peninsula. Besides, whatever may have been the feeling of the British nation, and the language of the British Press, on witnessing the unconstitutional acts of the King of the FRENCH ever since his accession in 1831 —however strongly and emphatically we may have denounced the system of arbitrary power attempted to be established by LOUIS PHILIPPE, his Ma jesty is well aware that our Government has never for an instant withdrawn from him its counte nance and support. Had it done so, he never would have been able to abolish temporarily the liberty of the subject, the freedom of the Press, and the trial by Jury. The following extraordinary sustentation of human life, without food or drink, has occurred within the last mouth, in the rural village of Rivington, seven miles from Bolton, and four from Chorley. On the 9th ult., in the mornin g , Thos. Anderton, jun., aged 25 years, son of Mr. Thomas Anderton, farmer, Rivinfilon, left his father's house. The young man, who was labouring under an aberration of intellect, with which he had been afflicted ever since an attack of brain fever, was never afterwards seen or heard of until the latter end of February, when some of the household of Mr. Parr, of Rivington, who occupies a farm under Mr. An derton, sen., about a mile diStant from the farm of the latter, heard strange noises proceed from the hayloft, which were re garded as the visitations of the ghost of an old lady who had recently died in the family. On Wednesday, the Ist inst., Mrs. Parr being in the direction of the hay-loft, heard a most distressing moan, and mentioned the circumstance to Mr. Parr, and also that she had a presentiment that it was the voice of young Anderton. Mr. Parr conceived :that she was mistaken, but Mrs Par being so firmly impressed with a con viction that young Anderton was in the loft, sent for his father. On his arrival the hay-loft was ssarched, and the poor creature was found extended on the hay in a dying state. He was reduced to a mere skeleton, and his skin was discoloured, as if putrifying. The length of time since he was missing, is 20 days, during which he could not have tasted food, or liquid, unless he had chewed the hay. The reason that the hay-loft was not visited for such a length of time is, that Mr. Parr is a dealer in young stock, and having none lately on his farm, there was no occasion to go into the loft. The poor man died on Wednesday.—Bolton Chronicle. PARISIAN LlAlsoNs.—My friend was in a gos sipping mood this evening, and as she was well turned of 50, I ventured to continue the conversation. As some of the liaisons, which exist here must be novel to you, I shall mention one or two more. A Madame de J— passed us , l ean i ng on the arm of M. de C—. I knew the former, who was a widow; had frequently visited her , and had been surprised at the inti macyexisted thome between i nher house. hera venture to as and \I, de C , ask my always appea rweld) eh quite a neigh bour if the gentleman were the brother of the lady, '6 Her brother I It is to be hoped not, as he is her husband." " Why does she not bear his name, if that be the case ?" " Because her first husband was of a more illustrious family than her se cond ; and then there are some difficulties on the score of for tune. No, no. These people are bone fide married. Tent:— do you see that gentleman who is standing so assiduously near the chair of Madame de S—? He who is all attention and smiles to the lady ?" " Certainly—his politeness is even affec tionate." " Well it ought to be, for it is M. de S—, her husband." " They are a happy couple, then." " Hors de doute—he meets her at soirees and balls ; is the pink of polite ness ; puts on her shawl ; secs her safe into her carriage, and " " Then they drive home together, as loving as Darby and Joan." " And then he jumps into his cabriolet, and drives to the lodgings of— Bon soir, Monsieur—you are making me fall into the vulgar crime of scandal." Now, as much as all this may sound like invention, it is quite true that I repeat no more to you than was said to me, and no more than what I be lieve to be exact. As respects the latter couple, I hav e been el<ewhere told th a t they never literally see each other, except in public, where they constantly meet as the best friends in the world. I was lately in sonic English society, when Lady G— bet a pair of gloves with Lord R-- that he had not seen Lady R in a fortnight. The bet was won by the gentleman, who proved satisfactorily that he had met his wife at a dinner party, only ten days before.—Cooper's Recollec tions of Europe. TO Loßii HIL United Service Club, March 17. MT LORD.—The late Brevet Promotion has given rise to much expression of opinion on the scanty and unequal rewards for Military Service, and although a very humble individual, I take the liberty of addressing your Lordship, as having par taken of a large share during a period of nearly forty years. It will be seen by teferente to the Army List that there are denernis dnd fievienant- tloneralt without Regiments-1 but who have been in the army fifty years and itpteards and tvhen the uninitiated require explanation they are told such and such a General never served ! !—Surely then they have no right to hold that Honourable Rank, with a certain -though not very munificent emolument attached to it ; and had the interests of the profession and the country been consulted, they would never have obtained either. When, however, it becomes almost impossible to repair an evil, the next best thing is to prevent a recurrence of it, and I would therefore propose for consideration :- Ist. That no officer of any Ranh should in future be allowed to retire on half-pay (unless wounded) who has not served twenty years consecutively on full pay ; and it is fair to con clude, if he has-passed that ordeal, that he has honest l y per formed his duty. 2d. Those who are now on half-pay of any Ranh under twenty years service should he obliged to fill vacancies or retire altogether from the army. Such a regulation far from stopping promotion would accelerate it ; half those so called upon would immediately sell their Commissions rather than go to our Colonies—thus there would soon be few General Officers who had not served fairly. Then comes the question—whether large emoluments should be lavished on favoured individuals? And it is here suggested ' that Honorary Distinctions, the Gift and Boon of Majesty, to gether with the appointments to lucrative commands, are an equi valent and sufficient recompense to the honourable ambition of the profession. Hence would arise the consideration of the payment of General Officers, which might be nearly equalized by Government taking the clothing of regiments into their own hands, and the present savings being thrown into a fund for that purpose. - Under the present system, emolument must necessarily be partially distributed, and depend as much on interest as merit. Is it just that one General Officer should have a regiment—a government—a pension for wounds (which don't affect his health)—perchance, a lucrative command 1--and that there should be others of equal, or nearly equal, pretensions, with nothing but a bare subsistence ? I shall, on a future occasion, take the liberty of saying a few words on the monstrous injustice of the promotion in the House hold Troops, by which junior officers stop over the heads of their seniors. I have the honour to be, Your Lordship's obedient servant, A COLONEL. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, MARCH 21.—Wind N. E.—Arrived the Champion, Clarke, from Oporto. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 2(l—Wind N.

We continue in the City in the same excitement as prevailed yesterday, in respect to the retreat of General Evans to St. Sebastian, owing to no further information being received from France on the subject. The prevailing opinion is that Gene ral Saarsfield having been defeated by Don Sebastian, and obliged to retreat to Pampeluna, as well as Espartero not having advanced, General Evans, on hearing that he could not obtain any assistance from either of these Generals, thought it prudent to fall back on his strong hold, and in his retreat ex perienced a heavy loss. To-morrow there is every expectation of receiving more i detailed information on this subject. There are two points n the telegraphic dispatch which rather surprise the public—. first, no date when the retreat of Evans took place, or the time when Don Sebastian came up to the relief of Eraani with eight battalions; likewise, the dispatch which was published on Saturday afternoon at Paris was known at eight o'clock the same evening in London.

We do not hear as yet of any further accounts being re ceived respecting the retreat of General Evans, which are most anxiously sought after ; particularly to ascertain the loss he has experienced. The impression is, that the telegraphic despatch is exaggerated, and the disaster will not be of the magnitude anticipated.

The first client whom Sir Walter Scott had at the bar, was a veteran poacher and sheep-stealer, who, by the ex ercise of much ingenuity, he contrived to get off. " You're a lucky scoundrel," whispered Scott to his client when the verdict was pronounced. " I'm just o'your mind," quoth the latter, " and I'll send you a maukin the morn, man." Some months since a meeting of the iron trade was held at Gloucester for the purpose of coming to a resolution of diminishing the make of iron one-fifth, until the 31st of this month, in the hope that such a measure would revive the trade. Such, however, not being the case, another meeting of the iron masters was hell on the 11th inst. in London, Alderman Thompson, M. P., in the chair, when it was determined that the diminished make of iron should be continued until the 30th of June. In consequence of the present depression experienced in the iron trade, there is good reason to apprehend that a re duction in the wages generally in the ironworks must take place. The price of merchant bar iron in Wales is now about 91.—South IVales Register. We learn from Mr. Lockhart': memoirs of his father-in-law, Sir Walter Scott, that the first fee of any con sequence which he obtained at the bar, was expended on a silver taper stand for his mother, which the old lady used to point to with great satisfaction as it stood on her chimney-piece five-and-twenty years afterwards. The following fine reflection is from the life of Lord Herbert, of Cherbury :—" Everybody loves the virtuous, whereas the vicious do scarcely love one another." Upon the same subject, an Arab happily observed, that he learned virtue from the bad, for their wickedness inspired him with distaste to vice.—Mirror. On Thursday morning, a steady and industrious tradesman of Maidstone, named Kemp (who was on Tuesday married to Mrs. Henry, of Week-street), arose, left his house in his slippers, leaving his watch, money, and keys on the table of his room, and has not since been heard of, although every means have been used to discover him.—Kentish Chronicle. EXTRAORDINARY FEMALE.—OiI the 7th inst. died, at the house of Mr. W. Ogden, the Park and Vine Inn, Royton, where she was exhibited as a show, Sarah Ann Savage, aged 17 years. At the time of her decease she was one yard two and a half inches in height, and weighed up wards of two hundred weight. Until the third year of her age she could neither walk nor speak ; after that age she began to feed rapidly, and gradually acquired the common human faculties. She had been at Mr. Ogden's a few days on ly, and was accompanied by her grandmother and aunt. Her death was sudden and unexpected ; she turned to her grandmother in bed, kissed her cheek affectionately, and quietly expired. The Tory candidate started in Lady Warwick's in terest for that town is Mr. Sergeant Adams, Chairman of the Middlesex Magistrates, and brother of the present High Sheriff of Warwickshire ; his opponent on the Reform interest is Mr. Wm. Collins, ex-Mayor of the town. On Sunday morning, about three o'clock, a police constable named Baker, of the K division, No. 81, was going round his beat in Harrow-street, Ratcliff, near the small bridge over the lock of the Regent's Canal Dock, when he was pounced upon by six men, three of whom appeared to be seamen, and the others bargemen, who lifted him off his feet, and, using some threats, carried him across the bridge as far as Kidney-stairs, Limehouse, where (despite of his struggles and cries for help) they threw him into the river and ran away. The tide was going down, and about a quarter ebb, conse quently the water was rather deep at the spot, and he had great difficulty in saving himself, and he could make no one hear. He managed to reach the shore in a state of great ex haustion, and proceeded towards the station-house. In his way there he was met by Police Sergeant Parker, No. 10 K, to whore he related the manner in which he had been used, and gave a description of the men who had committed the out rage. A search was made after them, but they could not be found. The policeman's hat was picked up in the Regent's Canal Lock, and he says the men actually made an attempt to throw him into the Lock, from which he could not have got out alive, and that in the struggle his hat fell off.

SPOTTISWOOteti=r-ATIIiS morning, about twenty minutes before nine o'clock, a most gerious fire broke out in the new printing house of the King's Printer, si tuate in New-street-square, Fleet-street. It is o great extent, having recently been enlarged, and was still in course of further additions, for the purpose of being appropriated as a distinct office and warehouse for the printing not connected with the Government Departments. The house belonging to Mr. Spottiswoode, called the King's printing house, is quite a de tached building in Stone-cutter-street, and no injury, it is ne cessary to state (to prevent a mistake already widely spreading by rumour), has been done to any of the Government printing by this dreadful fire. It commenced in the svereroom on the ground. The room was stored as full as it could hold with reams of newly printed works yct in sheets. How the fire com menced is unknown, as the men had gone to breakfast. The damage done in this room is immense. In the cellar under the wareroom was a vast store of paper, which is now lying in a depth of five feet of water. Within a very short time after the outbreak of the fire, the engines of the Fire Establishmentskept rapidly arriving from all parts of the metropolis ; water was found in abundance, and by ten o'clock all further danger had ceased. The damage done is believed to amount to many thousands of pounds. SCOTT'S BOYHOOD.—There was a boy in my class at school, who stood always at the top, nor could I, with all my efforts, supplant him. Day came after day, still he kept his place do what I would, till at last I observed that when a question was asked him he always fumbled with his fingers at a particular button in the lower part of his waistcoat. To re move it, therefore, became expedient in my eyes, and in an evil moment it was removed with a knife. Great was my anxiety to know the success of my measure, and it succeeded too well. When the boy was again questioned, his fingers sought for the button, but it was not to be found. In his dis tress he looked down for it ; it was to be seen no more than to be felt. He stood confounded, and I took possession of his place; nor did he ever recover it, nor ever, I believe, suspect who was the author of his wrong. Often, in after life, has the sight of him smote me as I passed by him ; and often have I resolved to make him some reparation, but it ended in good resolutions.—Lockhart's Life of Scott. COLONEL Ross AND THE BEAR.—It was in the immediate vicinity of this station that Lieutenant Colonel D. Ross, of the 18th regiment Madras Native Infantry, had a memorable encounter with a bear. He was out florikin shoot ing, when Master Bruin met him face to face. He had not time to raise his gun to his shoulder, but fired and missed. He was forthwith seized by Bruin with the most friendly em brace. But the animal for once found his match. Ross was a big man, of vast strength, and great courage, and he stoutly grappled with his antagonist; the bear bit him severely through both arms, but could not succeed at getting at his head. The c ontest had now lasted some time Ross had been deserted at the outset by all his people, and was almost overpowered with pain and exhaustion from the loss of blood, when he per ceived that he was near the brink of the hill, and that below him was a precipice of some depth. He succeeded in drag ging the bear along till he reached the edge, and then by a ju dicious sudden wrench shook off the animal, and threw him over the precipice. The bear was not killed, but was so shaken by the fall, that he skulked off, either unwilling or unable to renew the encounter, and thus left the Colonel master of the field. Ross was dreadfully injured, and for some time it was thought he could not survive; a lock-jaw being especially apprehended, from the great variety and depth of his wounds ; but his strong constitution carried him through, and the fine, gallant Highlander eventually recovered, to drink • another bottle' in memory of that wonderful conflict. Few men have ever survived to tell a tale so strange and yet so true. —East India Magazine. CAPTAIN JOHNSTONE AND CAPTAIN ROCK.— Of the former Captain, a highly distinguished but eccentric officer of the Rifles, the following amusing anecdote is told in the United Service Journal :—" He used all anecdotes (of a ludicrous national character) with an unsparing hand in good natured argument against the native officers ; but after a while, when Captain Rock's war in the south of Ireland (1822) called him to the scene of action, his loud-tongued battery, unhappily for that part of the world, got but too well supplied with more solid shot; for a country in such a state of demora lization as it then was it is scarcely possible to conceive. John stone had been ordered with his company to occupy the little town of Ballingarry ; he travelled in a gig at the head of his men, with his sword carelessly stuck in the splash-board. When he arrived within half a mile of his destination he had got a little ahead, and just out of sight of the soldiers, when a regular broth of a boy,' walking alongside of him, pro tested that he ' was mighty glad to see such a gentleman coming to take care of us in these troublesome times,' and adding, I persaive your honour's armed,' he seized the handle of the sword, which lay so invitingly within his reach, drew it from the scabbard, bounded over the ditch, and went across the fields like a hare t It was a hopeless case, for to follow the sword was to leave his horse and gig to take a gallop also without leave (as there were several peasants near who were watching his motions), so that he was obliged to submit to the joke with the best grace he could ; and as a proof that it re quired some moral courage to enable him to do so with any grace at all, I may mention, that in dining with his old compa nions in arms, the 43d, a few days after, the cloth was no sooner removed than the band was beard approaching playing the Dead March in Saul ; they presently entered the mess room, and marched round the table—the chief mourner in the solemn procession was Johnstone's empty scabbard covered with crape t Had the same accident happened to any one else it would probably have passed unnoticed ; but to him, of all men in the world, whose vigilant and punctilious observ ance of every military duty was proverbial, to be robbed at the head of his company, by a species of animal which he had long been in the habit of speaking of with the most sovereign contempt, was held too rich a joke to be suffered to die 1" MARRIAGE OF A TUNISIAN PRINCESS.—The wedding was interesting. The ceremonies were performed in a beautiful marble court of the harem, over which was spread a magnificent scarlet awning. At the door of every room were placed wax candles of a foot in diameter, arid painted with red and green winding stripes. Over the fountain burned hundreds of variegated lamps, and the whole scene re-called the " Ara bian Tales." To the sound of music, the bride, seated upon a cushion of gold brocade, was brought in by her brothers, and placed on an old-fashioned very costly arm-chair, that stood in the centre of the court. Her dress was extraordina rily magnificent and heavy ; the most remarkable parts being a diadem loaded with jewels, splendid anklets, and dazzling bracelets. Arms and feet were bare; the soles, and a small portion of the sides of the latter, as well as the finger and toe nails, were coloured of a reddish-brown with henna, and eye-brows and eye-lashes were dyed black. She appeared with closed eyes, which she was not allowed to open during the whole day ; and the husband was not permitted to see her for the first three days of their marriage. Beside her stood two dancing girls, and before her a negress, with a colossal lackered basin, in which were deposited the pre sents of gold, jewels, and other valuables offered to her, whilst the nature of the gifts and the names of the givers were rehearsed aloud. Every two hours the bride was carried to her room upon the same cushion, new dressed, and brought back to her armchair. During this whole day the poor soul must not eat ; so that between fatigue, fasting, and the weight of her dress and jewels, she was repeatedly near fainting, when an old negress always put a pastile into her mouth, which evi dently strengthened her. Our repast, as before, consisted of sweetmeats and pastry, and coffee, chocolate, lemonade, &c. ; but the Bey himself was more conversable upon the present occasion, playing the friendly host, often telling us the house was ours, to use at pleasure. He himself took a candle to show us the bridal couch of white satin, tastefully embroidered with gold, and which, on account of its height, was to be ascended by red satin steps. Suddenly the light he, held went out, and we remained awhile in the dark ; this was esteemed an evil omen. * * When the bridegroom is first admitted to the bride's presence, the custom is, that she should kiss his hand, and he place his foot upon hers, not as conjugal endear ments, but in token of the hthband's sovereignty. This Prin cess refused to conform to these customs, as unbecoming her birth.—Prince Puckler Illushau in Africa. IMPROVEMENT IN lIATS.—A new patent hat, with a moveable crown, originally brought out in Paris, has been adopted in Coventry. The rim is of the usual descrip tion, the crown also is attached to the rim in the usual way, but it is capable of assuming two forms. When pushed out or expanded it is precisely like the crown of an ordinary hat ; but when not in use it can be contracted by peculiar mechan ism into a depth of one inch. This constitutes its peculiar ad vantage. In travelling it may be put into a trunk, and will not occupy a greater space than a shirt ; and at a theatre, con cert, or assembly, the wearer may place it under his arm, or even stow it between his coat and waistcoat, and pass through the densest crowd without exposing it to the smallest injury. The frequenters of balls and routes have long felt the want of this sort of accommodation; for the flexible head-cover called the claque cannot be worn in the street without at tracting a crowd. The crown is made very thin, and when pushed out or expanded exhibits no crumples, but is in all respects like the crown of an ordinary hat. Its interior framework consists of two steel rings, connected by four slend er steel rods, which are jointed on one another like a St. An drew's Cross. One ring is attached to the rim, and encom passes the wearer's head ; the other is attached to the crown, which it keeps distended like the end of a drum. When the hat is in its fist or compressed state, a push of the fingers makes the jointed rods open ; th e crown i ns t an tly assume s its full size ; and the hat is read) to receive the head. This is done in one second, and occasions no trouble. The crown is again brought down with th e same case, b y pulling, a paat of the lining. A medal was awarded to the inventor by the Feeney Society for the encouragement of national industry, the report of whose C o m m itt ee , now before us, speaks of the invention in very high terms. Hat-making is so considerable a branch of manufacture in Paris, that the number made an nually is estimated at three millions. The Committee observe that the introduction of this species of hat will produce an•im mense saving in the expense of transport, since the space in which 50 hats of the present form are packed will hold 600 of the new description.—Scotsman. LITERT USE, PICCIOLA. 2 Vas. Co!burn, London, 1837. Had this tale been published as original, We sl i°ul nevertheless have set it down at once as a translatic from the French. There is no mistaking the fictio! of our enthusiastic neighbours. They are ever extremes. If they have to deal with horrors, they h variably overdo them, and compel us to " sup full" them; if with sentiment, they run equally into extra vaganee. They appear to have every literary requ site but good taste. What but the utter absence 4 this sterling quality has prevented the novels Pigault Le Brun—the Smollett of France—Viet Hugo, and many others that we could mention, fr° being naturalized among us ? In My Uncle Thull' a the Barons of Feilshim, and Notre Dame, there scenes of broad humour and deep tragic power, ono passed even by our best English novelists ; still th are so deformed by grossness and startling extravagant that it is impossible they can ever become popular wt the generality of our readers. The little work befe us is fortunately free from these blemishes ; it is 111 ther coarse, sensual, nor extravagantly impassione but, on the contrary, is a tale full of repose and refill sentiment, though that sentiment is pushed to a deg' bordering on the fantastic. When Wordsworth, his most thoughtful and heartfelt manner said, " To me the meanest flower that blows, can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears," he said all that could, with propriety, be urged such a subject ; but the author of the " Piccioll whOse whole tale, by the bye, is but an elaborate ee mentary on these impressive lines, makes his flower who is the heroine of the story—not only the means furnishing his captive hero with food for various a nd p found meditation, but absolutely his mistress, in the c( templation of whose charms, he sets at nought for a ti those of the daughter of his fellow, captive. In a vve two flowers are before him, the literal and the metapl rical one, and he has the bad taste to take the fora to his heart I She is his first love, and not until 1 death, does he think it worth while to consider claims of his second. Now this may be - sentiment , I it is not nature—at least not such as we in Eng' , recognize. Had Baron Trenck, when in his dunge had the opportunity of gazing on, and occasion' conversing with, a pretty girl, sure we are, he we not have conceived such a deep-rooted friendship his spider. With the exception of this fantastic II Picciola is a gracefully and feelingly written stc The account of the strugglings of the little flower i leaf, between the churlish stones of the prison e ( yard ; of the interest with which the captive Coon' Charny watches its progress, sheltering it from sudden storm and the impetuous rain ; of the cheer manner in which it lightens his solitude bifurnisll him with daily occupation ; of the thoughts whit originates in his ill-disciplined mind ; and finally the sound religious spirit which its systematic gro g the result manifestly of design, not chance, is means of implanting and confirming in his mina" this is written with exquisite skill, grace, fancy, sensibility ; and had the author stopped here, he we have left us nothing to object to ; when, ho le not content with this, he represents his cap hero taking to his bed, and brought to ae ° door, simply from an apprehension that his lized plant, the Picciola, is in delicate health ; moreover he makes him turn, even though it be for a season, with indifference from the bright ' that are gazing on him in the court-yard, absol in admiration of the greater charms of flower—we feel that the author, though he be writing in accordance with French not of sentiment, is committing a flagrant ou t ' on probability and common-sense. Some of o ur (. temporaries, we percieve, have compared " PieT to " Paul and Virginia." It is about as much lik as a sprat is like a lobster. EDINBURGH CABINET LIBRARY, Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh, 1837.

We are glad that this gentleman does not allow h i ' to be dazzled by the false glare which romance an“ own showy qualities have flung around the charof Henry. The splendour of the Field o f the f of Gold, and the chivalric rivalry between the fr and English monarch, does not blind him to the tr or prevent him from seeing that Henry had nothW the true generous spirit of chivalry in his na ture; he was vain, capricious, and arrogantly os tentat“ ) ,. youth ; a sensualist and a tyrant of the deepest a; age ; and throughout life intensely and hop elesslY v fish ;—that, in short, he was a bad King, and roan. The volume is embellished with an adrlll likeness of Henry, which we suppose is taken e one of Lodge's Portraits, and is printed in kably distinct and elegant type. PERKINS'S ELEMENTS OF BOTAIVII.
