[to each of the first five vessels which may sail from any port in Eng land or Scotland before the sth of February, carrying an extra quantity of provisions, provided they show by their log that they make the best of their way across the Atlantic, and that they reach the edge of the ice to the Southward of 55 lat. " My Lords are willing on the part of the Government to defray twice the value of any provisions supplied to any of the distressed ships, which after having escaped from the ice, may be met with on their way home, and the wages of any men put on board of them for the purpose of navigating them home.

The Parliamentary Plans and Sections deposited with the Clerks of the Peace, established numerous contradic tions to the recent Report of Directors of this Company (signed " Pearson Thomson," Chairman) and at the sane time furnish accurate means 'of comparing the Engineering qualities of this projected Line with the Railway from Cheltenham to Swindon, already sanctioned by Parliament, and the followin g facts elicited from those authentic sources, are promulgated for public information. The discovery of the unrecognized mutilated body in Edg,eware-road is still an engrossing theme, filling the minds of the upper classes with horror and perplexity, and those of the lower with undefinable fear and terror. Few persons now venture by the place where the bag was found after nightfall. The facts of the flagitious transaction are still involved in suspicion and obscurity ; but the following remarks may be found interesting, as being the substance of inferences which have suggested themselves to some emi nent members of the surgical and legal professions, after a good deal of meditation on the details that have been pub lished.

AFINE FIRST CLASS SHIP, of 500 tons burthen, with a Poop, and very superio r accommo d at i ons for Cabin, Inter me diate, and Steerage Passengers, will be dispatched in APRIL Next, from the River THAMES, direct for SYDNEY; touching at Plymouth to embark Passengers.. A very extensive demand exists m this Colony for Married Mechanics ; particularly Carpenters, Joiners, Stonemasons, Stonecutters, Bricklayers, Plas terers, Blacksmiths, Wheelwrights, Glaziers, and ethers ; and also for Agricultural Servants, Shepherds (especially persons well ac quainted with Stock), and Gardeners. Such persons, provided they are of steady character, and not exceeding 30 years of age, may, with their families, obtain a Passage by this conveyance, at a very small cost to themselves. Numerous parties have already engaged to proceed in this Ship ; she will carry an experienced Surgeon, and all possible care will be exercised to secure the comfort of the Passengers on the voyage. All particulars may be known on application to Mr. John Mar shall, Australian Emigration Agent, 26, Birchin-lane, Cornhill, London. Further, my Lords will give a bounty of 5001. for each of the distressed vessels, the crew of 'which is relieved while struggling within the edge of the ice ; and a sum of 1,0001. will be paid for each of the distressed vessels, the crew of which is relieved while fixed in the ice.

Miles Ch. By Tring By Swindon DISTANCFS. No person of common intelligence can any longer suspect that the body of the slaughtered female has been used for anatomical purposes. The mutilations had been performed with butcher-like dexterity, but not with surgical precision ; though having been embowelled, the trunk bore no evidence of having been dissected, in any part, exterior or interior. Moreover, the peculiarity of the female conformation re mained unobserved until noticed by the parish surgeon. Also, is surgeons had used the body, they would have buried the fragments according to universal custom, scarcely any man in the profession being without premises where he can inter the remains of bodies after dissection. " And incase of its being necessary for any ships relieving any of these vessels, to accompany them home in consequence of their distressed condition, a further sum will be given by my Lords equal to twice the demurrage of the said ship for the length of the passage home and return to Cape Farewell.

The lumi nous views taken of these diseases, together with the important warnings against excesses, entitle this work to great praise; and we may add, as a further recommendation, that it is written with much delicacy and morality."—laspector and Literary Review.

THE PERSIAN STANDARD: OR, THE RISING SUN Of all the Arms which heralds have decreed To gallant, noble, or heroic deed, From earliest ages to the present day, The glorious Arms of Persia bear the sway A Lion couchant, all its battles wen, Watching, with furious eyes, a rising sun. If heralds should hereafter, or should princes, (When heralds and their masters have their senses) Be actuated to establish worth, And make their actions known through all the earth ; Sure, Warrai, and his Blacking, now should stand As great in heraldry as in the Strand. Hear, then, a fact :—when Bonaparte had plac'd Ambitious wishes on the British East, Russia (then his ally) 'gainst Persia fought, And gain'd advantages, though dearly bough A troop of partisans, by Persia paid, With British Officers of various grade, Approach'd the Russians, who began to brag, Seeing the partisans without a flag; But this neglect, it very soon appear'd, Might, by a little genius, be repair d. A Buff'Pr's hide was soon depriv'd of hair, And, by an English Sub rais'd in the air, With Warren's Blacking, beautifully brght, They, with this standard, march'd as soon as light; The Russians the attack had scarce begun, When Warren's Blacking show'd the rising son The Russians cried, « the Persian flag !" then fled Leaving, in their retreat, some thousands dead!

One of 1 2 and One of 1 3 1 in 44 ! ! 1 in 30 ! ! ! Although the Directors' Report is prudently silent upon the point, the Tring Prospectus states the distance to be six miles less from Oxford to London. The actual distances by sections, however, prove, Oxford by Tring to London Oxford by Didcot to London ... 62 10 Difference only 1 mile 40 chains. It may be alleged, perhaps, and truly, that the London and Birmingham Station, at Euston Grove, is nearer to the City than the Great Western Station at Paddington, whence these respective distances are calculated ; but on the other hand, it is worthy of observation, that the latter Depot is nearer and more direct both to Piccadilly and Oxford-street ; and it may be fairly assumed, that as far as the traffic from Oxford and Cheltenham is concerned, not being commercial, three-fourths, at least, in number of Passengers will be destined for the West end of London. 'Phe fares to the City, by public conveyance, are at present the same from both places. The several inaccuracies thus enumerated are, however, trivial indeed, when contrasted with the total suppression of facts of material value in determining the comparative su periority of the two lines. Admitting the distances to be more or less favourable to the Tring, the first enquiry is naturally directed to the ge neral features of the country to be traversed. What are the respective summit heights to be attained? This must be acknowledged at all hands, a principal ingredient in the comparison, inasmuch as Mr. George Stephenson, and other Engineers of ability, have proved that twenty feet of verti cal rise may be generally esteemed equal to one additional mile of distance. The following statements are indisputable, being deduced from the Parliamentary plans and sections already refer red to. LONDON AND OXFORD. 111 TRING. Ascent. BY DIDCOT. , ft. Ascent.

The Gradients between Oxford and London may be stated generally to consist of sixteen feet per mile upon the Tring, against four feet per mile upon the Didcot Line. The Gradients between Gloucester and Cheltenham and London, may be stated the same as above (with two inclines of almost unprecedented steepness for Passenger Traffic, being 1 in 30 and 1 in 44) upon the Tring Line, against the same scale of Gradients on the Swindon Line for forty-three miles (with one plane of 1 in 71) and the remainder (76 miles upon the Great Western Railway) not exceeding in any case six feet per mile. There is also an inclined Plane of 1 in 82 on the London and Birmingham Line near Euston Grove. The Report alleges that the Committee of the House of Lords deducted from the estimates of the Swindon Line, half the Gloucester Traffic, and the whole of the Chelten ham Traffic, and that the Swindon Railway was declared by a resolution of the House of Lords not to be a com peting Railway with the Tring Line. It is denied that any deduction was made by the Lords from the Swindon Traffic, and the minutes of evidence will disprove the assertion. The promoters of that Company did indeed show, as they were advised to do, that their whole Traffic from Cheltenham to the Metropolis did not exceed 36,800/. per annum, a sum obviously inadequate to maintain any separate Line, unless combined with other in termediate Traffic ; such as exists batween Gloucester and Cheltenham, and Stroud and Cirencester, with the Trade between London and the latter commercial districts, in which the Trim , - Line can never participate. It was in reference to the admitted fact that no Railway communication for the service of the Manufacturing Trade of Gloucestershire was offered by the Tring Line, that the Lords would not recognize it as competing in the main ob jects proposed by the Swindon Company, but to urge that, as respects Cheltenham and Gloucester Traffic to London, the Tring Line is not a competing Railway is a manifest absurdity. The merits of that question will be brought before both Houses of the Legislature, and they must judge, first, whe ther there is a public necessity or adequate Traffic for a second Line to London from Cheltenham, and secondly, whether the Tring Line is the best that can be obtained. Abundant evidence will be furnished to establish the con verse of both these propositions, if indeed any should be wanting, beyond the positive admissions of the Engineers, employed in the last Session against the Swindon Railway. Many influential landowners on the Tring Line, have an nounced their determined resistance to the measure, and will not fail to press these points to issue in opposition to any compulsory power for taking their property, merely to gratify the vindictive feelings of a few individuals, against the interests of other existing companies. The circumstances under which this scheme was promoted and is kept alive, shall be thoroughly investigated, and it will then be ascer tained whether the identical parties who are now urging forward the Tring Railway are not, in fact the most cla moraus in vindicating, for their own benefit in the North, the very principle of security for incorporated companies from competition, which they so grossly violate in this case. The Proprietors may indeed 'passively permit the En gineer and Solicitors to divide the remaining spoil in Par liamentary warfare, but if they rightly understand or pursue their own interests, the transfer of 41. per share into their own pockets would be the unanimous demand of every Sub scriber, in preference to a blind perseverance in that which must infallibly lead to the ultimate loss of all that has been paid. From the quantity of, food found in the stomach, and the regulated process of chylification it ha been undergoing when interrupted by death, it is evident that the act of death was sudden, and the individual in good health imme diately previously ; also that she was under no terrors for her life.; if she were, neither her appetite nor digestion would have been good. The description of food found in the stomach was also more varied in its kind (including pork, bread, cabbage, pudding, &c.), than is ordinarily given to a person kept in confinement. Not having had any children, the child's apparel, found with the body, would suggest either that the murdered woman was a step mother, or had been employed to mend clothes for other persons' children. In either case, the loss of the parent or the clothes must soon excite inquiries that will lead to the identification of the body. • The question, then, is, why was the woman murdered ? The examination of the stomach ascertained the presence oi a small quantity of ardent spirits—not enough for in toxication, but probably as much as would excite quarrel someness. The murder, then, must have been preceded by altercation and blows, which could not have escaped the notice of the neighbourhood. Jealousy is almost out of the question. That it was money is almost equally improba ble. The woman's dress was of the lowest description, and no female, able to purchase better ear-rings, would have worn the vile filagree pattern found by the body in the dirt near where the sack was discovered. On the whole, it is most difficult to assume any cause which will, for any time, seem probable. But the great question is the post-mortem mutilation. If it were done for the purposes of concealment, why fling the head into the Regent's canal, where it must rise after a few days, and throw the trunk behind a flag, on a pub lic road, where it could not remain two hours undisco vered ? The body could have been summarily disposed of in any of the waste pieces of ground around the metropolis in five minutes during the darkness of the night. If the murder had been committed by the canal boatmen—it was never the crime of one—it could have been still more easily deposited in the earth in some of the obscure and un frequented spots along the banks of the canal. Might not the mutilation have been the result of some infernal system of superstition ? The physiognomy would induce the medical officers to say that the deceased belonged to the lower class of Irish. Per haps so ; but the mutilation is not characteristic of English, Irish, Scotch, or Welch atrocity. It is altogether of the French school : witness the body of the artilleryman found last week on the banks of the Seine, minced in pieces, and tied up in a bag. If she was Irish, that circumstance will facilitate discovery ; for the acquaintance of the lower class of Irish is always extensive : when they live in a large house in separate families they are in perpetual intercourse ; 'when in the same neighbourhood they are constantly going from house to house. 111eantime, the finding of the legs would .till give great help towards ascertaining the identity, as suming the woman to be Irish ; for the lower classes in that country go without shoes until they become quite adults; and thus individuals generally get some mark on the shin or foot, which would lead to their recognition many weeks after death. LAND TAX.— The unequal pressure of this tax certainly deserves the early attention of the legislature. Amongst many other glaring discrepancies, Sussex is made to pay 1.51 d. in the pound, while Lancashire is let off for lid., and Cumberland for l The harvest of last year is not yet entirely housed in the highland districts of this neighbourhood ; the se verity of the winter having rendered it impossible to secure several patches of corn even in a sufficiently dry state for the purposes of bedding the cattle. During the late storm the birds hays entirely stripped the ears of the grain, leaving nothing but bundles of straw in a state of decomposition.— Halifax Express. OMNIPOTENCE OF PARLIAMENT.—My aunt, Mrs. Kerwood, reading one day in the papers that a dis tillery had been burnt by the head of the still flying off, said, she wondered they did not make an Act of Parliament against the heads of stills flying off.--Correspondence of Horace Walpole. _ _ On Tuesday evening a numerous assemblage of gentlemen sat down, at the new Inn, Bradford, to a standing pie of extraordinary dimensions. It weighed upwards of four stones, and contained a savoury compound of pheasants, partridges, pullets, pigeons, rabbits, hares, snipes, woodcocks, geese, turkeys, larks, and capons.—Halifax Express. FREEDOM OF ELECTION.—Mr. L. Edgeworth said, on the hustings at the Longford election, " I speak my own sentiments, and boldly tell you what I will do. I will say to my Catholic tenants, Vote for me—vote as I vote ; and f you don't do so, I will never sign a lease for a Catholic again, or give him the power of voting. There are at present several fellows who are in the habit of stealing silver spoons from taverns and coffee houses, and substituting others of base metal in their stead. Wednesday night one of the fraternity committed a theft of the sort in a tavern in Maiden-lane, Covent-garden, and es caped detection for the present. They have the audacity to repeat their visits, but not in the same dress, and waiters should keep a sharp look out when a stranger of suspicious appearance enters a room, or who is unknown to the usual frequenters of the apartment. CARRIER PIGEON.—INTERESTING ARRIVAL. few months ago we adverted to a strange traffic which was then being carried on by means of carrier pigeons, and the frauds thereby alternately committed on the Stock Exchanges of France and England. Since that time, the din as to telegraphing by means of wings has in a great measure, if not wholly, ceased ; and as Scotland, in this respect, was never associated with Dover Cliffs, we confess we were totally unprepared for the arrival of a carrier pigeon in our own immediate neighbourhood. Yet, true it is, and of verity, that a bird of this description landed before sunset on Monday afternoon, at the Stakeford-foundry, Maxwell -town, and WAS hospitably received by the manager, Mr. Pearse. Attached to its neck were found a bit of coarse ribbon, and a note crum pled and soiled, containing inside and out the following mes sage—lnside : " This pigeon was set free at Dover on Dec. 25, 1836, at four o'clock, r.sr. Whoever finds it, and the line attached, will please notify the same to some public newspaper, and oblige the Marquis of Westmeath and family.—J. Hoskins." Outside: " Whoever finds this, and fulfils the request contained therein will be paid." The poor bird, when it fell, was, as is said in Scotland, " sair forfoughten ;" rain and storm having wetted the ribbon, and fluttered its plumage ; its neck was so severely cut that it may be doubted whether it will survive under the kindest treatment. What course it steered after it left Dover, until it arrived in Dumfries, it is impossible to say. That it encountered stormy weather, was repeatedly driven back, and was forced to seek the land in quest of food, may be fairly presumed, but how it should have steered its way to the banks of the Nith is a circum stance we cannot at all explain, unless it be that it conceived its mission would be best fulfilled by publication in the Dun fries and Galloway Courier !! ! Carrier pigeons are generally trained to go to some particular place ; but in the present instance, we presume the poor bird had been sent off on a voyage of discovery, just as bottles filled with papers are sometimes thrown from a ship's side at sea. Supposing, therefore, the label to be genuine, it may be interesting to the Marquis of Westmeath to know that his winged mes senger arrived at Maxwelltown, Dumfries, on the afternoon of Monday, the 9th of January, 1837. More, therefore, in the way of forwarding his views we cannot well do, unless our Contemporaries are pleased to help us. Since the above was written we have inquired after the health of the far-travelled stranger, and are glad to find that al though its neck is cut it is likely to recover. Our friend Mr. Scott, of the Maxwelltown Foundry, gill have much pleasure, we should think, in showing so great a curiosity, although we have no authority for saying so.--Dumfries and Galloway Courier. Defendant—Why, Sir, arter I'd got the batch in the oven twice a week, he agreed for two lessons a day for I 16s. He took off ss. because I introduced some other gentle men.—(laughter.) COMMISSIONER—And were they bakers also ? Defendant—Yes, Sir ; werry respectable journeymen. COMMISSIONER—WeII, the best thing you can do is to pay the money and have done with it ; or if, indeed, you choose to waste your time, I dare say the plaintiff will be very happy to complete the quarter, and throw you in a lesson or two over. " No, Sir," said the baker, very indignantly, " when once I says a thing I means it, and so I'd rather pay the money." An order to that effect was handed to Master Doughy, and, buttoning his coat across his bread-basket, he danced out of Court. LANE v. MORTAL.—The complainant in this ease was the very personification of one of Macbeth': witches. She was scarcely as high as the table, and time had so withered and tanned her skin, that it seemed to defy all sorts of wind and weather, with a most frightful squint from a pair of gin-ferretted eyes, the country-woman of Dan of Der rynane thus stated the case to the Commissioners and the Jury : Yer, Honour's Wertchip—l've come for sivin week's wages, at the rate of a shillin a week, and all owin to me in regard of this woman never paying me—(Laughter)-- and och, how I worked, and och, how I slaved, and och, how I got up o'nights, and, bad luck to me misses, the devil a ha'porth of coppers could I git ; och, manys the time in ould Ireland— Defendant--Now, my dear Mary, tell the trute ; tell nautin but the braud trute! Plaintiff—And don't you be afther blarneying me, Mrs. Mortal. You owe me the money, as lam a blessid sinner ; and if you don't pay me out of your paucket, by I'll have the likes of it from your ugly face, you—. COMMISSIONER —Silence. Officer, stand between those women. Now, Mrs. Mortal, what have you say to this charge of your " dear Mary ?" Defendant—Pst say, you said ? Well, then, and its meeself that can say—och, murder, it would do your heart good to see how she robbed me ; and all the while I worked for me poor sivin children, and me husband dapely in dibt ! she stout all that were had, and more.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—What did she steal ? Defendant--Two good pillows, with the cases, and put them in her bosom.—(Laughter.) Com mfs sto NE a—What, the pillows ? No, the cases, me Lord ; and she stoul a boulster, and a tooth comb, and a pace of ivery new gownd i've had to me back for this five years. Plaintiff (clasping her withered hands)—Oh, dear, for the love of Father Mooney, don't go for to swear that.— (Shouts of Laughter.) Defendant—l spake trute ; and one day I gave a large piece of soap and tould her to cut it up and male a lather, bekase it would go farther ; but she did no such thing, and, as I'm a living 'oman, I think she ate it, for devil a bit could I find in the wather, or out of the wather.—(Laughter.) Here the little old Sybil broke in so vehemently upon the plaintiff, that neither the Commissioner, the officers of the Court, nor the Jurymen, could make themselves heard ; and, after a short consultation, the sum of Lis. was awarded to the beldame plaintiff. A characteristic row took place outside the Court, and both parties were ultimately intro duced to the station-house. MANUEL HOFEEXELDE N V. JOHNSTONE.—Mr. John stone, the defendant, was summoned by a very gaunt, long shanked, sheep-eyed German for the balance of one month's wages for nursing the child of the said defendant. The pre sent instance afforded a most indubitable proof of the folly and vexation of putting children out to nurse, without hav ing been sufficiently satisfied of the kindly qualities of those to whom the little charged is consigned. The palpable cunning and broken English of the plaintiff excited consi derable merriment. Mr. Commissioner Dußois—Be good enough to explain how this debt has become contracted, Mr. Hoferfelden. Plaintiff—Sare, I stall tell you, Sare. I had a von shilde (child) to nurse cuISSIONER—You, Sir, had a child to nurse? Plaintiff—l shall a tell a you, Sare, directly by and bye.— (Laughter.) My tear wife a she take a de shilde—she nurse—she nosh—she do every 'ting for de shilde ; but it so very ill-looking, it not grow at all.—(Laughter.) COMMISSIONER—Very ill-looking! Do you mean very ill-looking, or looking very ill ? Plaintiff—Dat is te ting—look a very ill. De Madame come and say, " What a for my shilde so ill-looking ?" Mc say, " Ah, ah, him like his fader." De Madame go in big rage and say she take a shilde away a! so she send de ser vent, and a widout any more, take away de shilde—at de half a month—aftare me nurse a de shilde for do long time, me claim de odare part of de month. COMMISSIONER—What do you say to this, Mrs. John stone ? Mrs. Johnstone explained, that the child was extremely sickly, and it having been deemed requisite to give it a change of air, it was placed under the care of the plaintiff's wife ; but it had been found, in fact, that the husband chiefly performed the duties of a nurse, and that the child was miserably neglected. She therefore sent her servant for it, and the poor little sufferer was at length located under its own paternal roof. The servant of Mrs. Johnstone, an intelligent-looking girl, corroborated this statement. The Jury fully coincided in the opinion of the Learned Commissioner, and the case was dismissed. Plaintiff—Den, pray vat satisfaction have I got—eh ? . - COMMISSIONER—The satisfaction of getting LOMB to your dinner as fast as you please—you may go home, sir. Donner end Bletzen (said the enraged German), dare is neitdQr laws nor gospels in dis d—d country—but me be revenged—me—speak a you, sir—me tell you, sar—sacre —me—me—do away !" Here the nurse of the masculine gender edged his way out of the Court amid considerable laughter. JOHN SMITH V. WILLIAM SMITH.—A most ludicrous incident took place when these two redoubtable names were called. No less than twenty-five litigants all cried " Here," simultaneously. The crier was absolutely puzzled, but, wishing, for the best, he ventured again—" John Smith and William Smith." " Here ! " roared a podgy-looking baker, who had just entered the Court. Matters got still more complicated. " Vich is the Bill Smiff wet owes nineteen bob for bread ?" said the crier. Nobody answered. " Vich, is the Smiff as hoes the beer score ?" " I does," said about one half of the Smiths present, and it was a consider able time before the numerous family of the " Smiths" were classified in anything like order. None would own the " half-penny worth of bread," but nobody denied the " sack." " But 'tis a name so spread o'er Sir and Madam, That one would be the first who bore it Adam."—Byron. Lord Henry Petty is going abroad again, they say in consequence of the unpleasant circumstances in w hich he has been placed. You will probably recollect that I told you in the summer of the death of the Earl of Kerry (eldest son of the Marquis of Lansdowne) soon after his marriage. As it was made known that there was no pros pect of the Countess becoming a mother, Lord Henry met the Marquis in Paris, and forthwith assumed the title of Earl of Shelburne (in preference to that of Kerry) as the eldest son and heir to the Marquis of Lansdowne. His Lordship comes over to England, has his cards engraved, his letters addressed, &c., due style as " the Earl," when suddenly Lord Dencannon brings his daughter, the Countess of Kerry, from Ireland—a grand family meeting is held at Lansdowne House, and it is formally announced that her Ladyship is enciente—Lord Henry immediately drops his " Earldom," and is off for the Continent. Tht Countess accompanies the Marchioness to Bowood, where her Ladyship now is, and where her accouchement is to take place ; should she give birth to a son, the child in stantly becomes heir to the Marquisate ; if a daughter, Lord Henry will, of course, resume his rank.—The Chel tenham Looker-on.

DREADFUL EFFECTS OF THE INFLUENZA.— (From a Correspondent.)—The melancholy effects of this raging epidemic in the metropolis and its environs has been most severely felt for the last fortnight. During last week the greater number of the clerks at the War-office, Admi ralty, Navy Pay-office, the Stamp office, the Treasury, Post office, and other Government offices, have been prevented from attending to their daily avocations ; in consequence of which great delay was caused to public business. In the Royal Naval Hospital of Greenwich there have been upwards of 150 deaths among the aged " old tars," and th• infirmary is nearly filled with those on the sick list. Sir Thomas Master man - Hardy, the gallant Governor, has been most unremit ting in affording every comfort to them. At the Roy al Mi litary College of Chelsea, the deaths have been very great, and numbers are confined in the sick wards. At Woolwich the epidemic has been so prevalent, that forty to fifty men per day, belonging to the Royal Artillery, Royal engineers, sappers and miners, and the other troops doing duty there in the absence of the Royal Marines at Passages and Saint Sebastian in Spain, have been admitted into the Military Hospital ; among whom the deaths have averaged from five to eight per diem by violent inflammation of the lungs. Among the three Regiments of Foot Guards, and the three Regiments of Horse Guards doing duty at the Tower, St. James's Palace, the Horse Guards, and at Windsor, the epiden,i3 has raged to a very great degree ; so that many of the soldiers who are not affected have been:obllged to do double duty for their comrades. At the St. George's Bar racks, Trafalgar-square, the Wellington Barracks in the Birdcage-walk, and the Cavalry Barracks, in Regent's-park, and Knightsbridge, extra wards have been appropriated for them ; and also in the Tower, where it appears to have attacked the men with greater effect, bein g so near the water, than at the other quarters in the West-end, Yesterday the churches which have generally full congre gations presented a mournful scene by the non-attend ance of many who the Sunday before were in perfect health, and now no more, which melancholy event was noticed by the clergymen from the pulpit. The number of burials yesterday afternoon in the different cemeteries in the environs of the metropolis were as numerous as during the raging of the cholera in 1832 and 1833. At old St. Pan eras burial-ground there were 68 during the past week. At St. Martin's, Camden-town, St. Andrew's in Gray's Inn-lane, St. 11Iarylebone, St. John's, St. Giles's, St. Luke's, Chelsea, and the burial-grounds on the Borough and Lambeth side of the water, where the epidemic appears to prevail the most, from the low situation of the ground being of an ex tremely damp nature, the deaths have been very great. The police force has suffered much, as out of that corps there are upwards of 800 men unable to do duty, in consequence of the extreme severity of the weather they had been ex posed to nightly for the last three weeks. In the work houses the number of poor who have died far exceeds any" return that has been made for the last twenty years. NUMEROUS DESCENDANTS.—WraxaII relates the following anecdote of the late Duke of Norfolk—that he pur posed, when the year 1783 should arrive, in order to commemorate the period when the dukedom would have remained 300 years in their house since its creation by Richard 111., to give an entertainment to all the individuals of both sexes, whom he could ascertain to be lineally des cended from Jockey of Norfolk, the first Duke of that name, killed at Bosworth Field :—" But having already (said ho) discovered nearly 6,000 persons sprung from him, a great number of whom arc in very obscure or indigent circumstances, and believing, as I do, that as many more may be in existence, I have abandoned the design." , . . On Sunday night, as two men were going from Wellingto❑ towards Mr. Watson's house at Wellington hill, they discovered that gentleman's extensive stack-yard on fire in two places. They immediately gave an alarm, and the surrounding gentry and inhabitants hastened to the spot, but all their exertions to stop the progress of the flames proved ineffectual. All the produce, consisting of seven large wheat, barley, and other stacks were consumed, together with the farm buildings. Every endeavour is mak ing to secure the vile authors of this outrage, and a large reward is about to be offered for their discovery. Mr. Watson is fully instiied in the Royal Exchange office.— Derky Mercut y. This day was published, in 3 vols. post Bvo., GL E N L O N E L Y: A NOVEL.
