Metalliques •- - 82 13-19 Bank shares - - 927 (From the American Papers.) From our correspondent at Halifax we have received Nova Scotia Papers to the 2 4th ult.— They contain but' little matter interesting to other than the people of that province. In re lation to the projected union of the two Ca. nadas under one common Government, we find the following paragraph in the Halifax Free Picas :- " We have inserted in this day's Free Press, an account of two meetings which have taken place, one at Quebec and the other at Montreal,' for the purpose of adopting mean► to induce his Majesty's Government to relinquish the proposed plan of uniting together the Provinces of Upper anti Lower Canada.— We have ever had but one opinion as to the itnpOlicy of such a measure; and are persuaded that few will peruse the names of the respectable persons who stand oppo ,, eti to it, headed as they are by the gallant De Salaberry, whose loyalty is as unqueation- able as his•valor; without rejoicing that his Majesty's Ministers, yielded to the representations and advice of the leaders of op position, and partied before they took a sterywhich would have been injurious to the general interests of 'the British Empire, and destructive of the peace and tranquil liappiness, which under their present - Constitution those Provinces may enjoy." The New York American, .speaking of the piracies of Cuba, says—" W trust that our Government will immediately adopt measures suited to the exigency. The co-operation of a land force can only effect the Complete ex_ tirpation of theie freebooters ; and at the present season troops might be sent to that climate without great danger. The Spanish Authorities would probably accept with eager ness their services, and if they did not, are in no condition, and would have no plea to resist them. From 5 to 800 men would be sufficient for the Purpose to be effected." A letter from an Officer on board the Cyane, dated 3d Nov. mentions that Lieutenant Eakin, and Acting Surgeon's Mate Pells, both of New York, had died. Threo seamen had also died. The steamship, Robert Fulton, sailed from New York on Friday last with 73 passengers, for Charleston, New Orleans, &c. [Extract of a - Letter from Nassau, dated Nov. "'A short time after the arrival here of our present Governor, whose measures have in a great degree tended to arrange the affairs of the Co lony much to the satisfaction of all parties, it was found that the funds in the Tresury Were by no means sufficient to pay off the arrears of salaries, and the debts which had necessarily been con tracted in the administration of public affairs.— It therefore became necessary to issue certificates from the Treasury for two-thirds of all demands against the public, to be paid off in instalments, so soon thereafter as sufficient sums were found to be in the T?easury for that purpose. Of these instalments only two have yet taken place, one of which was paid in November last, and the other in April of this -year.— Of the appropriations made in the last Session of Legislature, for which only certificates were issued, no part has yet been paid; but it is expected that an instalment will in a short time be paid, which will not only include the certifi cates of last year, but those dated in February last, at the close of that Session. These certifi cates, or as they are here generally called Scrip, have not passed in payinents between Without in some instances great discount, in which W'ay' some persons, from pressing necessity, have been obliged to part with them. It has .therefore become most desirable that the Scrip should be paid 011, and som e p ersons w h o have the_ gneral interest at heart have an idea that the obj ec t can be effected by loan to be raised Upon the security of certain parts of the public resources of the Colony, which, instead of being imposed yearly at ea ch S ess i on , must for the Present purpose be m a d e permanent, ry until the loan is paid off. Eve well-vvisher to the Colony must b e anx i ous to have this measure carried into effect, and it is now under considera tion in the House of Assembly, a Committee hav ing been appointed to inquire into the practica g bility of the object, and to report to the House if thereon. Thi s pl an would give great relief to a number of persons who are much embarrassed, from not getting payment in any thing Script, except which is a material loss to them in getting it away,,, TUE THEATRE;i • "if CovENT-GAttntsr.----Though. most of the pro ductions of the present day, of the comic descrip tion,,are rather calculated, by their'extravagance, to corrupt than to refine the public taste, yet it is not so much impaired but that it can still relish a sterling play, when it is supported by real ta lents. Such was the case last night with The School for Scandal, the characters of which were so well assigned that the intrinsic merits of the piece, and the known abilities of the respective performers, attracted a very numerous audience. Miss CHESTER was to have been the Lady Teazie, but being indisposed the part was allotted to Mrs. CUATTERLEY, who required no apology AS a substitute, but who sustained the part with ori ginal spirit. Mr. C. KEMBLE'S Charles was ad mirable for easy and characteristic gaiety. ULAN CHARD, who has been long indisposed, resumed the part of Crabtree, and was deservedly well received. FARREN was a correct Sir Peter Teazle. There is a gravity in the manner of Mr. MACREADY that well corresponds with the part of Joseph Surface, and if he will trust more to his own powers, and not condescend to Keaniki his acting, he will be always sure of well merited applause. Sir Oliver could not be brought forward with more manly humour than appeared in FAwcErr, and JONES in the flippant levity of Sir Benjamin was quite at home. ft would be unjust to pass over the merit of 'trawl in Moses, which he gave in an original and diverting stile. The Comedy went off altogether with a general proportion of merit that would -have satisfied its author.—Harlequin and the Ogress is so popular a Pantomime that it of course followed, and highly delighted the holiday folks, with its tricks, its transformations, and its splendid scenery. M. DE CIIATEAUBRIAND.—The Jourmd des Mbats of Sunday, in allnding to the dissatisfac tion of the Ultras at the appointment of M. de CIIATIAUBItIAND, observes, that if he had been called to the Government in the beginning of ,1820, his appointment would have been consi dered by all good Royalists as a pledge of recon ciliation between the monarchy and its natural defenders. The article then refers to the ap pointment of M. de Chateaubriand as Ambassador to Prussia, and afterwards to England Lon don,however, possessed him only for a short time; but during his brief residence there, his public character, and the talent he displayed, had, per haps, less influence in procuring him the esteem of the British Monarch and his Ministers, than his sincere. attachment to the principles of monarchy tempArcd by laws. Finally, a Congress of the principal Sovereigns of,Europe assembled at Ve rona. France, already worthily represented, n ever thefess considered that representation incom plete of which M. de Chateaubriand did not forma part. Accordingly, M. de Chateaubriand partiCipated in the deliberations from which Europe awaited her destiny. He returned loaded with the most brilliant testimonies of considera tion. A place became vacant in the. Administr ation. It was offered to M. de Chateaubriand, and he accepted it with all the marks of con sideration and delicacy which were due to his virtuous predecessor. The wishes of Royalists are then fulfilled, or at least ought to be. 1V hat has. M. de Chateaubriand done during the three years in which he has again been engaged in the active duties of State policy, but acquire new claims to the esteem, and we may say, the grati tude of the Royalists?" The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived yesterday at Apsley House, from the Duke of ItutLAND's seat, Relvoir Castle, Itutlanclshire. W e are happy to hear that his Royal Highness the. Duke. of SUSSEX is recovered from his lute indisposition. DOVER, JAN. 7. 7 —His Serene Highness Prince ESTERIIAZY and suite arrived here this morning, in the Sorercign steam vessel, from Calais, and proceeded to Pityn's York Hotel ; whence he proceeded in the-afternoon for-London. Sailed this Morning the _illeduya steam vessel, for Calais, with a number Of passengers. The town was on Wednesday last lighted with gas for the.first time, under a company incorporated for that purpose by Act of Parliament. The contrast between the present gas lights and the oil ones formerly in use is surprisingly great. CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE LORD LIEUTENANT. —On Saturday (4th inst.) James Forbes and Henry Handmich were brought into the Commis sion Court in Green-street, where Judges MooRE and BURTON' were presiding, that bail might be taken for their appearance to an ex officio infor mation to be filed against them by the Right Hon. the • ATTORNEY.GENERAL. For 'Forbes, Mr. Clouston, of the firm of Clouston and Fottrell, and Mr. J. D. Williams, woollen-draper, of Eustace street, appeared, and were accepted. For Iland wich, R. Charles, a slater, who was one of Forbes's bail the night he was arrested in the Theatre, and a Mr. Benjamin Warren, appeared and entered into recognizances.

REMOVAL OF THE PRISONERS.—This day the prisoners who stand committed on charges of felony, were removed from the several gaols in the city of London, and county of Middlesex, to Newgate, preparatory to their taking their trials at the next Old Bailey Sessions, which will com mence on Wednesday next, the 15th inst. A terrier dog, belonging to Mr. WATKINS, was taken on Friday to London by his servant, in a dose covered cart, and was left tied up in a yard, near Grosvenor-square that evening; in the night it broke from its confinement, and came home through London, and was at its motet's door, in Arun del, the next afternoon, Saturday, a distance of nearly sixty milesr.—(Brighton Chronicle.) BRIGHTON, JAN. 7. The honout and felicity with which the blooming progenie s of Nobility derived from the Palace entertainment of last night, have afforded ample food for grateful animadversions in the higher circles to-day. The carving of the twelfth cake in the Rotunda .or Saloon, and the enlivening dance before and after that period, are dwelt upon with peculiar interest; and the sa tisfaction with which the SOViIItEIGX, the Royal Duke and Duchess, and the adults of the important assemblage, reviewed the sportive process of the exhilirating scene, may occasion the subject to be often adverted to for many weeks to come. The Countess Lieven, owing to sudden 'indisposition, retired early from the Palace entertainment last night ; but we have the pleasure to add, that her Ladyship found 'herself quite re covered this morning, and has since had the honour, the only invitee, of dining at the Palace to-day—The Duke and Duchess of Clarence; arm-in -arm, enjoyed a Cliff and Steyne walk this morning; in consequence, though the weather was hazy, all the world of fashion nearly was abroad. The Earl and Coun tess of Harcourt took leave, and left the Pavilion for London this morning. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence, it is said, will take leave of his Majesty, and return to London to-morrow. The Duke of Dorset, it is also expected, will beincluded in the list of Palace departures to-morrow. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

COMPOSITION OF TILE BLOOD.-Sir EVERARD Homt; in delivering his introductory Lecture on the Physic). logy of the Blood, on Tuesday, at St. George's Hospital, ex. planed a discovery made by him on the component parts of the blood in the year 1810, a fact which is known but to few of the Profession. Sir Everard's new theory is, that carbonic acid gas forms a large proportion of the blood, and that this fluid is of a tubular structure. The immortal Harvey, the discoverer of the circulation, and Hewson and Hunter, who have most studied the composition of the vital fluid, failed to make this important discovery; and should time, the only test of truth, prove the justness of this new theory, Sir Everard may be ranked among the first physiologists of the day. H e asserts t h a t car b on i c ac id gas exists in the blood in the large proportion of 2 cubic inches to an ounce, and that it is given out in large quantities from the blood of a person after a full meal, and very little from the blood of a feverish person. The fact of the appearance of the tubes passing through every particle of the blood, Sir Everard was led to discover by observing the growth of a grain of wheat daily through' a miscroscope ; he first saw a blob, and then a tube passing from' it ; the blob was the juice of the plant, and the tqbe was formed by the extrication of carbonic acid gas. Reasoning from analogy, lie examined a globule of blood, and found it composed of similar tubes, which he was enabled to inject under the exhausted receiver of an air.pump. The matriculation list of our Unlversitywanted only a few names of 2000 last week. To this, it js believed, may be added 200 who , have not yet matriculated, so that the students attending all the classes may be estimated at 2200.1 The classes are fuller than in any preceding session ; and the number of students altogether, we believe, is about one half greater than at Oxford or Cambridge. We under stand the Parliamentary grant for erecting the new buildings is now exhausted, and that application will he made in the ensuing session for thirty thousand .or thirty.five thousand pounds more to complete the work. The acknowledged utility of the establishmeat, not to Edinburgh only, but to the whole kingdom, leaves no room to doubt that Parliament will grant the.additional sum required. All who have examined the parts finished under the present grant will admit that the mo ney has been laid out with admirable taste and judgment. The interior front on the north side may be referred to as one of the finest specimens of an ornate yet pure and classical style of architecture In existence.—..( Edinburgh Courant, J'an..l.) TAVERNIER mentions having adiamond on which was engraved the arms of Charles I. The Sophy of Persia and his Court were extremely surprised at the art of engraving so hard a jewel : but, says . Tavernier, I did not dare to own to.whorn it be longed, remembering what had formerly hap pened to the Chevalier de Reville, on the subject of that King. Reville having told the Sophy that he had commanded a - Cornpany of guards in the ser vice of Charles, and being asked why he came into Persia, replied that it was to dissipate the chagrin he felt on his master being put to death, and that since that time he could not endure to Hive in Christendom. The Sophy fell into a rage, and asked. Revile, how it was possible, if he was Cap tain of the King's guards, that he and all his men should not have shed the last drop of their blood , in defence of their Prince ? Reville was thrown ;into prison, and remahtad there 22 days, and escaped at last by the intercession of some of the Sophy's household, P C) E 1' It, Y. II ) ON THE NEW YEAR. Another Year has wing'd its airy flight, Still wrapt the future in mysterious night, An eager haste we feel ; 'We long—we hope--and e'en swift Time seems slow— Enquiring ask, while yet we would not know, What may this year reveal ? What may it ! one short year may send To his long home, a lov'd, a valued friend ; Bring others to our view— Lay hundreds low in death—Alas replace Full many a well-known and , lamented face, By forms entirely new. A year may bring the wounded mind repose, O'erwhelth the happy with unniunber'd woes ; May cease the captive's doom : A fleeting year, ere it is past and gone, May add fresh beauty tO the form of one, Decay another's bloom— May ope to sorrow, Pleasure's blissful door, Make the poor wealthy, and the wealthy poor: Thus change the forms of fate— May shover profuse, from Golden realms above, On private homes the joys of peace—and love— Bring discord to a State. Could we look forward but through one short year, IloW would the smile alternate chase the tear, The tor its place supply ; How one sad hour would view the mind perplext, Perchance reliev'd and free from care the next, Ere yet that tear was dry. But though weak man alone can truly see What hath been—is—and not what yet may be, Well fondly paint the best ; • We'll bid the radiant dawn of hope appear, Through its fair glass we'll view the opening year, And while . we hope—we're blest. RESURRECTION MEN. It will be recollected that a Mr. Dickenson's account of the disinterment and discovery of his father's corpse appeared a short time since in this Paper ; and yesterday John Smith, an inhabitant of Beckenham, in Kent, .lames nold, the parish clerk, and Elizabeth, his ..wife, were in at tendance at Union-Uall before the sitting Magistrates, in con segtience of summonses that were .issued on the application of Mr. Dickenson. Mr. Dickenson stated, that whilst the gravedigger was re. moving the earth from the grave, Mr. Arnold took him by the arm, and led him a short distance from the grave. He then addressed him in the following words Mr. Dickenson, don't have the grave opened any further, and then no one will know any thing about it." Witness replied, " bow can I con ceal it, now it has gone an far ?” anti persisted in the grave being opened. Mrs. Arnold, his wife, called upon his mo ther in a day or two after, and treated the business with a deal ofindifference, saying it was no more than neighbour's fare, and that had her husband been well, it would not have ,hap. pei2ed. Mr. Arnold denied saying any thing to Mr. Dickenson to in. duce him not to open the grave, nor did he authorize his wife to say whit she . did. Mr. Dickenson—l am on my oath, and I have spoken nothing but the truth. The Magistrate asked if any person was present that heard Mrs. Arnold speak to' the mother of Mr. Thckenson as he had stated. • . Mr. Dickenson replied in the negative. Mr. ALLEN said, in his opinion there was great suspicion at tached to Mr. Arnold's reluctance to have the grave opened, and that being coupled with the observations of his wife to Mrs. Dickenson, made suspicion still stronger. The suspicion against Smith was, that on the Thursday pre vious to the robbery 'he was fighting at the George public house, at Beckenham, and u man that olficiate4 as his second corresponded with one of the men seen in the cart, On apply big to Smith's wife, she said the man was a helper in the stables pf the Alarquis of ‘Vinchelsea, to whom her husband's cousin Was coachman, and that he had come d own to him with a message from hini. Smith was from home at the time, and when he was questioned he denied all kno w led ge o f t h e man . Smith explained himself in a manner that induced the Ma gistrate to dismiss the sunnnons against him ; but they ex pressed their suspicion against the Clerk, and advised Mr. Dickenson to indict him for a misdemeanor at the Sessions. Mr. Dickenson signified his intention so to do, and the parties left the office. DA RING BURGLARIES. The daring gang of burglars that- have for a long time infested the Commercial !toad and its vicinity, con tinue their offences mere daring than ever, and elude all detec tion. On Monday night last, the house of Mr. Irrington, No. 55, Jubilee-place, Commercial-road, was broken into, and pion dertsi to a very considerable amount in plate, wearing apparel, site. ; a watch, among a quantity of plate they took, is likely to be traced, which leaves some ground to hope the thieves will be brought to justice. The window shutters were forced open, and the technical phrase of " milling the glaze" was here completely verified. The glass was broken in pieces, and the thieves entered at the window.. The doors leading from room to room in the house were all open, when Mr. Irrington came down in the morning; It bore more the appearance of fire, than the effect ofluffians. A circular has been sent round to the different Police Offices, whose activity we hope will soon bring the depredators to justice. Yesterday morning, about half past six o'clock, just as the watchmen had retired from duty, some thieves forced an en trance into the parlour window of Mr. Armstrong, coal.mer. chant, Princes-square, by means of a centre-bit. They broke open the drawers, and carried away a great quantity of table and body linen, and other articles, to a considerable amount. A hat, supposed to belong to one of the villains, was left be, hind. Last night, about II o'clock, the house of Mrs. Donovan, in Tooley-street, tea-dealer, was broken open duri tuf her absence for a few minutes, by some villians; who accomplished their pur pose by means of an iron crow -bar, and took from the premises several articles of wearing-apparel, table-linen, and a pair of sheets, which last they had the au d ac ity to take from off the bed on which a child six years old lay sleeping, who, on his mother's return, said somebody moved him, and he thought it was her, and fell asle e p again. The same evening. sonic thieves entered the front parlour of Mrs. Pearson, No. 4, George-street, Suffolk-street, .Borough, by the window from the street, while she herself vas sitting ,at tea with her family in the back parlour. They succeeded, with out disturbing any one, in carrying oil - about W. worth of wear ing apparel and linen of different sorts, together with a hind some folio edition of Henry's' Bible and Testament, in two . volumes, worth 41. • a Catechism belongin g to m ic a the children was shortly afterwards picked up in the street adjoining, but no trace of the depredators bas been discovered. In contiequence of the many daring robberies lately corn. mined in this district several additional local constables are about to be sworn in for the protection of the inhabitants, and. the detection of the swarms of thieves that infeat the neigh bourhood. Two young Gentlemen, both in love with one , young Lady, and both determined to l ea d h e r t o th e altar of Hymen, accidentally met in the New Inn, For. far, along with ether company, on the evening of Wed. neeilay last. For some time the Gentlemen were sober and silent, though occasionally eyeing each other with sullen looks ; but when the glass began to circulate pretty freely, the " rival lovers" began to speak, and only spoke to oppose one another ; high words ensued, and a challenge was given and ae. ceptcd, to settle matters at eight o'clock A.M. , on the Market. mum with a brace of pistols. rn*mornin g by this time was con. siderably advanced, and the " high-roettled young men de parted to make ready. One of them rode to lirechin, and was there long before the break of day, applying for a second. None of his friends, however, were disposed to attend him. This was a serious disappointment ; it was now within an hour of his time, he was twelve miles from the place of meeting, and his honour was at stake ; he ordered a " chaise and four" at the' Swan . Inn, and posted back to Forfar, de termined to take the field alone ; but just as he was stepping from the carriage at the New Inn, he was seized by die Pmcii. rator Fiscal, lad bound over with two securities in 1001. each 'to keep the peace for a twelvemonth.—(Afontresc Pam.)
