In Making this peace, the Russians have obtained one million and a half of specie, and three millions and a-half to be paid them by different instalments, part of the above sum has been hoarded up in the King of PERSIA'S coffers upwards of a century. The hasty measure he took in signing the peace was his great fear that his palaces and treasures would have been plundered, as it is known he is possessed of immense riches.

THE FUNDS-(TMS DAY). CITY, TwzzrE o' apex. Consols opened this morning at 84 with little disposition to activity; the intelligence, as before stated, that the Russian Ambassador left Constan tinople on the 4th ult., and that his colleagues were to depart immediately after, caused a very trifling depression, and they are now 834 4; the affairs of Turkey appear to have lost their effect on the Funds; the report which was mentioned some time since, of the serious intention, as one plan of ministerial recommendation of raising the revenue, to propose a .5 per cent. tax on real property, is revived with confidence, and it is said that this measure ►•ill be proposed at the next meeting of Parliament. India Bonds are 82 4, and Exchequer Bills, 53 5 pm. In the Foreign Funds the arrival of the New York packet ship has brought intelligence from Mexico of the 10th, and Vera Cruz of the 15th of November; by this conveyance, it is at length announced that the Conducta had left the City of Mexico on the 6th of that month with 1,600,000 dollars; it does not appear what part is on account of the Government; it is, however, mentioned, that part of the above sum, although the property of merchants on its de parture, will, on its arrival at Vera Cruz, be paid to Government on account of duties on goods now in bond, and would be shipped with other property on board his Majesty's ship Pylades for England. This information caused the Bonds to look up, and they have advanced to 47 4.although the impolitic measure of sending the old Spaniards out of the Country, who are the parties of the most wealth in the Country, appears to be still the intention of the Government; trade was improving, and in this respect the accounts are good. Brazilian Bonds are 59i 60.

Lord Fitzroy Somerset, as Military Secretary to the Commander-in-Chief, went through his list yesterday, at his office in the Horse Guards. A few General and about forty other Officers, transacted military business with his Lordship. Detachments belonging to the 11th and 16th Regiments of Light Dragoons have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark, at Gravesend, about the 28th inst., on board the Reliance, for Bengal. WINDSOR, Yesterday, at six o'clock, his Royal Highness Don MiotEL arrived at the Royal Lodge, escorted by a party of the 12th Lancers, and was immediately introduced to his MAJESTY. In the evenin g an entertainment was given surpassing in splendour almost any previous one. The Banquet was served on massive gold plate, and the grand suite of rooms were brilliantly illuminated. The KING'S private band, attired in their gorgeous state costume, were stationed in the conservatory, and early in the evening performed, at his MAJKsTT's de sire, the National Portuguese Hymn in a most masterly manner. Among the distinguished personages present at the dinner were--Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the Dukes of WELLINGTON and DEvONSNIRE, Prince and Princess EsTratitarr, Prince and Princess LiEvErr, Marquis PALMILLA, the Earl DUD LEY, Viscount GODERICH, Earl and Countess CARLISLE, Earl MOUNTCHARLFS, Lord and Lady MARYBOROUGM, Baron FALCY, Count VILLA REAL, Sir WILLIAM FRE 3,ANTLE, Sir ANDREW BARNARD, Sir F.

BOW-STREET. Two young operators on broad-cloth, of priggish de portment, were charged by an active watchman with re fusing to " move on," and further, with " ridiculing the morning service of the Established Church." By the de fendants' account, they were deciding a reckoning with the keeper of an alamode-beef-house in Castle-street, and the watchman interfered, or there would have been no dis turbance.--Mr. HALLS was of the same opinion, and the gentlemen moved off. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE ROYAL SALOON.—To day being appointed for the judgment on the information iaid by James Mace, an officer of this establishment, Mr. Goodred was in attend ance, with Mr. Hanson, his solicitor. Mr. DYER and Mr. Cotwqr were sitting, and the for mer announced, that after mature reflection on the in formation and the defence, he and his brother Magistrates were of opinion that the offence came under the 35th Geo. 111., but not under the 6th Geo. IV. as an o ff ence against the Excise. That Act i►nposed a penalty of 50/., and he must therefore inflict it. Mr. Hanson submitted that a great number of very re spectable risen were in attendance to speak to the general regularity of the place. Mr. Goodred complained of the hardship in being se lected, as there were thirty houses in the same parish, who sold with no other licence than the one he had. Mr. DYER said, that be could not then hear evidence of general conduct ; but if Mr. Goodred thought that his for mer argument would avail him, he would appeal *a the Sessions. If any of the houses mentioned by Mr. Goodred were informed against, he should make no distinction. Mr. Hanson then gave notice of appeal to the next Quar ter Sessions for Westminster. Several well-known respectable gentlemen were waiting to speak to the regularity of the house. DEATH OF LORD DOUGLAS. Died at Bothwell Castle, Lanarkshire, on the 26th of December, in the 80th year of his age, the Right Hon. Archibald Lord Douglas of Douglas, Lord Lieutenant of the county of Forfar, &c. His Lordship, who was born the 10th July, 1748, succeeded to the estates of Douglas, Forfar, &c., on the death of his uncle the Duke of Douglas, in 1761. His Lordship married, in 1771, Lady Lucy Graham, sister to his Grace the Duke of Montrose; and he next married, in 1785, Lady Frances Scott, daughter of the Duke of Buccleugh, and has left issue of both marriages. After having represented the county of Forfar for a good many years, he was, in 1790, created a British Peer.— His Lordship has, through life, shown himself a sound constitutional statesman, always avoiding those that were given to cl!ange. In private life, Lord Douglas set an example of rational piety, and virtuous conduct, every way worthy of a good man. He resided mostly in Scotland, and kept up an establishment suitable to his rank and opulence, without embarrassing himself —dis playing true dignity and splendour, void of ostenta tion. To such of his tenants and servants as acted with propriety, his Lordship was kind and indulgent; but always turned off such as acted incorrectly. Lord Douglas and his family seemed as if they vied with each other in acts of charity and benevolence. Although his Lordship had no interest in the parish of Hamilton, and must have seen that another Loblernan had promised to share his loaf with the poor of that parish, yet whenever a case of distress there came to be known at Bothwell Castle, a liberal donation, suited to the circumstances, was instantly made—frequently handed in by one or other of his Lord ship's amiable daughters. The blessings of many, who were ready to perish, have been showered with gratitude on Lord Douglas and his family. His Lordship is succeed.. ed in his estates and honours by his eldest son, Archibald, now Lord Douglas.— Caledonian Mercury. LOVE-SICK WILLY. (From the Lancashire (Liverpool) Literary Museum.) The following, which is quite equal to some of the best of Hood's Whims and Oddities, is from a late Connecticut Herald. One Willy Wright, who kept a store, But nothing kept therein, Save earthen jugs and some few kegs, Of whiskey, ale, and gin. Grew sick, and often would exclaim— Oh, how my heart does burn ! And every week the poor man liv'd He -had a weakly turn. Now, When they saw him thus decline, Some said that Death must come; Some wondered what his ail could be-- Some said his ale Was rum. At last the very cause was known Of every pang he felt Remote, at one end of the town, Miss Martha Towns-end dwelt. A portly, love-resisting dame, Contemptuous, proud, and haughty ; But yet, though " fat and forty," too, She was not two-and-forty. And Willy long had sought and sighed, To gain this pretty maid ; I have no trade, said he, so sure My love can't be betray'd. To Martha, then, he trembling went, And said, my dear, 'tis Though I have nothing in my store, I've love in store for you. And if thou wilt, thou may'st become-- But here his tongue was ty'd ! And though she willed, yet, she said, She ne'er would be his bride. Then, turning Willy out of doors, She said, go ) go along; I hate the man who's always Wright, Yet always doing wrong. I leave you then, said he, farewell ! Of peace I'm now bereft ; If I am always Wright and wrong ) You must be right and left: So than he dosed his little store, Shut up each doer and blind ; And settled his accounts, and died, And left no Will behind.

The business in Foreign Exchanges was un usually scanty yesterday, but the quotations of the last post day are fully supported. Bar gold retnaint at 17s. 6d. the ounce, notwithstanding the reported large exportations to the continent. It was stated on 'Change late yesterday after , noon, that notice has been given to the owners Of transports engaged, as was supposed, to bring home the troops from Portugal, that their services will not be immediately re quired, and that an order has been sent to Portsmouth to delay their sailing. This gave rise to a good deal of con jectural remark about the cause of this postponement; but we understand the only explanation given is, that a disorder prevails among the horses, which renders them in an unfit state for embarkation. Some persons believe, however, that Government is waiting fpr intelligence Prom Constan tinople, in order to determine whether the troops in Por tugal shall be brought home, or their destination changed for the lonian Islands.-- Pierer. A handsome public Monument, we under stand, is about to be erected to the memory of the Rev. JOHN SParil, A.M., late Vicar of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It will be placed is the church of Saint Nicholas, where the worthy Minister diligently officiated for above 20 years. The Corporation of Newcastle have, with their wonted liberality, intimated their intention of subscribing a hand some sum to the fund requisite to carry into effect the wishes of the inhabitants of the town, to honour the me mory Of one who was indeed a truly benevolent and kind hearted man. On Sunday night week, the inhabitants of Lancaster were surprised by hearing the church bells ring a merry peal ; and 'on inquiry being made, it was found that they were ringing to celebrate the release of a person from the Hulks, who had been sentenced to be transported for seven y ears ! Th e c h urc h wardens have in consequence dismissed the ringers. —Carlisle Patriot.

Last night a communication was received at Bow-street, from Mr. Justice Holroyd, in which he informed the Ma gistrates that, in consequence of a rumour having obtained circulation in the neighbourhood of Bedford-square that a murder had been perpetrated there, under peculiar circum stances, he felt it his duty to make such inquiry as should enable him to ascertain its authenticity. He stated that, in consequence of his inquiries, he was led to believe that a female of respectability had come by her death in a very awful manner, and that the utmost exertions had been used to conceal the circumstances. On this incormation Salmon and Gardiner were despatched to investigate the matter, and attend to the direction of the Judge in ascer taining the particulars of the manner in which the lady met her premature end. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The person to whom allusion is made ;glove, was not a lady; she was housekeeper to John Lett, Esq. of No. 11, Mentague-place, Russell-square. She was last seen about nine o'clock on the evening of Monday, conversing with a man who is not known. On her not making her appear ance yesterday morning, some suspicions were excited in the neighbourhood that all was nut right; and these being communicated to Mr. Justice Holroyd, the venerable Judge, as above stated, sent a message to Bow-street, at a late hour in the afternoon, for assistance, when two officers proceeded to the spot, and broke open the door of the house. They found the body of the unfortunate woman with her throat cut in the most dreadful manner, the head being nearly severed from the neck. From the appearances, it was believed that the deed could not have been committed by her own hand, though we most sincerely hope a more leisurely investigation will prove that it was. It was at first rumoured that the repositories of the house had been broken open and plundered ; but this is a mistake : there was no appearance of any robbery having been attempted or perpetrated. We heard that, at a late hour in the evening, the son and grandson of the deceased had been taken up, but upon what grounds or suspicion we did not learn. ANOTHER ACCOUNT, FROM OUR 0W.14 REPORTER. The neighbourhood of the house in which this atrocious murder has been committed, was crowded during the morn ing by persons anxious to ascertain the particulars of the horrid deed. On enquiry we were Worried that the name of the deceased was Elizabeth Effs. ghe had been for several years in the service of John Lett, Esq., of 11, Montague place, Russell-square, as housekeeper, and had gained by her integrity the confidence and esteem aim., master. Mr. Lett left town a short time since, and entrusted the care of his house, which he was anxious to dispose of, to the deceased It appears that she had several relations who were in the habit of visiting her, and to whom she very generously afforded pecuniary assistance On Tues• day morning suspicions %vete eleited that something had happened to the deceased, in consequence of the shut ters not being opened as usual. These suspicions having been communicated to Mr. Justice Holroyd, who resides in the same street, that Learned Judge, after making:some pre liminary arrangement, caused the house to be broken open. Search was first made in the attic wherein the deceased usually slept; the bed had not the appearance of being slept on, nor was there any thing to lead to the belief the: she had passed the night in the room. On en tering the kitchen the body of the unfortunate woman was discovered in a pool of clotted blood, with her throat cut from ear to ear. She was lying near the fire-place. Beside her were a table and tkvO chaits ; and it was evi dent, from the appearance of the table, that the murderer .had just before been sitting by her. On the table was a beer pot, partly emptied, and on inquiry it was ascertained that when George Gardner, the pot-boy belonging to the Gower Arms, called at the house with beer on the previous night, at nine o'clock, there was a man standing in the hall with the deceased, Gardner says that this man was of rather a stout appearance; that he had on a blue coat and white apron. This person, to whom suspicion strongly attaches, was, from all that the pot-boy observed, on terms of inti macy with the deceased. Whether that circumstance, in the general description of the man, be the cause, we know not, but certain it is, that the police now deemed it their duty to take the sort of the deceased into custody: His n ame is Kni g h t, and we understand that he is not to be brought up for examination until the result of the Coroner's Inquest is known. Upon the first discovery of the deceased it occurred to some persons that she might have committed the act, but very little examination was' necessary to prove the groundless ness of that supposition. There was no weapon near her, by which she could have inflicted the wound; but there was lying beside het a kal , ,orcase, and little chiubt retrains that bet murdered had, in his hurry, omitted to carry cdir this which may, in all probability, lead to his detection. The razor-case cannot be recognized by any of the persons acquainted with the house, so that it must have been brought there by the author of this atrocious act. The pockets of the deceased were turned inside out, and several drawers in the house had been tided ; they haft. all the marks of bloody fingers on them; on the table there was a small work-basket, which was also besmeared with blood. Information of the murder was this morning communicated to the Coroner, and it is expected that the inquest will be holden in the eotitse of the evening. bete' persons of respectability, residing in the neighbour hood, have been admitted to .view the corpse, and one of them (an eminent surgeon) has given it as his decided opi nion that the wound has been inflicted with a razor, or some such shaip Weapon. He is also of opinion that the deceased could not possibly have destroyed herself. The grandson of the deceased has been in constant attendance at Mon. tagtic , plke since the discoverfof the murder; FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.— The Duke of Rutland, from. his seat, Belvoir Castle; Sir.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ROYAL STAG HUNT IN HONOU} OF DON MIGVEL. i.eidooti-rcte l ii t hdi l oe ia bfn v yi ing been annoWiced that the day following the ar rival of Don Miguel his Majesty's t'tag Hounds would (beet, to afford his Royal Highness an opportiinh7' of par ticipating in that old English sport, and Salthill haviii been harried. to the plaCe of meeting, considerable expecta Is - tion was excited among the lithahitanti of Windior and its vicinity. This morning, at an early Cornmenced raining steadily and unintermittingly, and the general cpi , : nion entertained was, that the hunt would be postponed; but at eleven o'clock all doubts were dispelled by the ap pearade the cataleade. One of his Majesty's Foresters, in full livery of Lindolti led tliv. van, followed by Don Miguel, havin g the Master et the stag Hounds on his right, and his illustrious brother the COMittandet olifiashelle6cftlefpUta:!thyttibeocKettweeraiiinfogl'lrs7ll4'edeelot iny a ' n- a p a r nt i d c ti lS t e : r: in state liveries; one of his Majesty's Carriages, drawn by four horses, followed, containing his suite, and the rear was closed by another party of attendants. The aortiCgit proceeded throUgh IViiitisof at a foot-pace, and his Royal Highness (who was habited like an );nglish sports.; man, wearing a scarlet coat with round hat tied by a biack ribbon) repeatedly acknoWledged the Salutations of the spectators. On his arriV;il at Salthill, Ilia: Royal Highness and retinue dismounted and partook of refreithrnents at the Windmill Inn, after which the field again proceeded. The numerous pedestrians whom the spectacle had attracted being likely to impede the commencement of the day' sport, Lord Maryborough directed the stag to be taken to a field near Farnham Royal, tit() Miles distant, where the sportstfien speedily Congregated. A finer field, considefing at once the numbers etbd the respectability of those assembled, has not been witnessed sinee the visit of the Allied Sovereigns in 1614, and the tout enitittble, despite the weather, was brilliant in the extreme: A fine. stag, expresly selected for the occasion, was turned out a fete minutes before tWelVe, and *Vent steadily away in a north-east direction. The features and per , . son of Don Miguel have been already described; but it will not be superfluous to state, that; as the moment approached when the actual business of the chase Was to commence, the anxiously keen eye, the tightened rein, and the exploring view of country as far as sight allowed, gave convincing proofs that his Royal Highness determined to show himself worthy of sharing the field with British sportsmen. The customary law having been allowed, the hounds were laid on, and gave beautifully-mellowed tongue, followed by the whole field, Don Miguel, Prince Esterhazy, and the Duke of Wellington, taking the lead. The stag took towards Stoke Park, doubled by Baylis, the seat of the late Earl of Chesterfield, ran down the high road from Slough to Windsor, and, frightened by some men at a farm, by Wil lowbrook Place, turned for Datchet, a short distance be yond which, after a severe, though not long run, lie was safely taken. His Royal Highness expressed himself much delighted at the day's sport. BURTON-UPON-TRENT COURSING MEETING. TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY. The Cup was won by Mr. Hassan's f. and w. b. by Hercules. This famous Greyhound has been purchased of Mr. Hassall by Sir Bellingham Graham and Mr. Best, Members of the Mahon Society, for 50 guineas; he is the winner of three Cups and one Goblet, two sets of stakes, and divided another with Hamlet, his own bro ther, and has only been beaten five Courses out of thirty four that he has run at the Meetings of established Cours ing Societies. The Goblet was won by Mr. Nixon's blue and w. b. Matilda (out of his Pert, by Mr. Hopkin's Squib). The Gresley Puppy Stakes were won by Mr. Worthing ton's blk. b. Wildfire, by Hercules (Mr. Smith's Intruder second). The Anglesea Stakes were won by Mr. D. Smith's blk. b. Negress (Mr. Smith's Isis second). The Burton Stakes, by Mr. D. Smith's blk. b.

His Majesty might seem to have a right to enjoy that repose or harmless festivity which is conceded to the humblest of his subjects during Christmas, and so we believe he has said ; though what person in his elevated efation can divest himself of the artifices duties which that station imposes, or sus pend the public . calls upon his attention ? After Christmas, however, and at intervals, probably, during Don Miguere visit, some consolidation of iiiiiilsterial plans and acquisition of Ministerial adhe rents will ;le' honoured by the Royal sanction. It is thought that one noble Lord's accession t o office will influence certain poweani Whig families wh ose sup port must be useful, and lehei have hither to b een indecisive. Another accession fse Ministerial func dens has also been rumoured, but it is of one who, though favourable to the Catholics, is yet of less deelared character between Whigs and Tories. Foe these, W they are advanced, way must be made by some who oppose 'an enlightened and liberal s yStemrs of policy.—Tinzes. The President's Message to the Congress of the United States, on the opening of their session, will be found in this day's journal. Though it presents but few objects of novel interest, yet such a dam i-ients supplying as it does a portion in the history of a gteet nation, ought to be read with steady at tention. .fudging most impartially in a case, where, in truth, there is no motive to judge otherwise, we should say that the message (a singular term by the way) which we have just read, represents the affairs of the Union as neither brilliant, nor . dark; neither good, nor bad; but middling, or what the Freneli call parrable. The " revenue of the present year does not equal that of the last, which had itself been less then that of the pre ceding year." Yet it has a captivating sound Nvi tfm it, to tiqtraCtiSed ears, to hear of a Government paying all its orp'enees, and gradually liquidating its national debt, fro:el its imposts on foreign coin mette, which expenditure and imposts amount an nually to about 25 millions' of dollars. With respect to the discussions with England, all seem to be in a fair way of compromise, except the interminable one of the method by which the trade with our West India Islands shall be regulated: This seems to remain in the state in which Mr. Canning's last paperleft it. There ere, however, some points con nected with the Treaty of Ghent, to which we shall take another opportunity of alluding.-e--/bid. We refer our readers to another part of our Paper, for the Message of the President of the United States, at the commencement of the first Session of the Twentieth Congress. It is a plain statesmanlike document, embracing all those pointe in the foreign and domestic policy of the people, tee specting which they are entitled to expect informa tion from the persons whom they depute to the ma nagement of th e i r affairs, Government is a very simple aff a i r i n t h e U n i te d &tees, As there are many perso ns i n t hi s country who require the infor mation, we shall repeat Mr . Q u i n cy Adams's no tions, with respect t o t h e purposes . for which Go vernment is instituted. "T o preserve, :n and to perpetuate th e sources , an d to di rect .I'l thei r most effective channels the st reams w hi c h eon:-ri bute to the public weal, are the purposes for svi`'. Government was instituted." Now, no person Le extracting st withha e e h Atlantic, us ,m purposese froma wou l d n th th a te w i t h i ever nmdetGire eet h rvy a se i cr , o e inernin cetdreamtehaeri.vh comm u n i ty,i o c fhc supplieso nn Government,e e connecting g a this country, or indeed in any country on this sitk particular caste or class with colourable pretexts for the separate benefit of the particular caste or class, as much as can be taken from that community, with out putting its patience to so severe a trial as might endanger the safety of the takers. Government, in the American sense of the word, is a very simple affair indeed, and is totally free from mysteries ; because any man can undertand whether . money is expended for preserving, improving, and perpetuating the sources, and directing, in their most effective channels, the streams which contribute to the public weal. But Govern ment, in the European sense, is a very different affair indeed. If those for whose sakes the money is raised could take it directly, then government might be sufficiently simple; but then it is neces sary that there should be colourable pretexts for ob taining the money. It is necessary that certain ap pearances should be kept—that the public should appear to consent to all that is done—that nume rous bodies, representing the public, should be made instrumental in various ways to the movement of the political machinery, all of which machinery must be constantly oiled in its minutest joints, to prevent the hazard from friction. To show the difficulty of preserving this % complicated machinery in full play, it is only necessary to observe, that one little Cornish Borough may be intimately COA.. - nected with the perpetuation of the disputes in Ca= nada, the misgovern men t i n I re l an d, t h e di scontent at the Cape of Good Hope, and may thus be feli in every part of the habitable world. For instance., those who influence the Cornish Borough must be provided for, otherwise that part of the machinery might gave way. Some of these are wafted to the Cape, some to Canada, some to other quarters. Let us see the working in Canada. If the people were left to themselves, they would, like the new Eng landers, their neighbours,when first planted in the wil derness, apply themselves to the cultivation of their lands, and lay their heads together, how best to pro vide instruction for old and young, to open communi cations with each other, and with strangers, so that the industry of all might be exercised more benefi cially. But this simple mode of government, under which the people might grow tip to strength and power, in peace and tranquillity, would not be an. cilliary to the preservation of the machinery at home. Grants of lands to persons connected with the work ing of the machinery, interposed between the pro perties of the actual cultivators, and rendering these properties of no value by preventing all communi cation, from want of r oa d s ; t h e sett i ng apar t one seventl of the wilderness as reserves for an eccle siastical establishment, for a people of all religions except that which is established, which reserves, i n like manner, prevent all internal improvement by cutting up communications—these, and a variety of contrivances of the same sort for pauperising the people, necessarily create bad blood and a n i mos i ty, and even disaffection, and these again render neces sary the presence of large civil and military establish ments to watch and controul the peopl e; an d t h us d makin g t h e h a lf m illi on means are ingeniously provided for quarter i ng our raised an Cornish f borough the interests of the separate class in E ng l an d, an d t h e retarding the impr ov ement of the Colony a t one necessities men, of C ana d a, ava il a bl e for the and the same time. Mr. Adams enters on an account of the relations of the American Government with various countries) and details at some length the Proceedings between that Government and our own. He observes, that the " commercial intercourse be tween the two countries is greater in magnitude and amoun t than between any other two nations of the Globe ;" and that " it is for all purposes of benefit or advantage to both, as precious, and, in all proba;- eility, far more extensive, than if the parties were still constituent parts of one and the same nation." We have reason to thank God that the obstinacy-or our Government forced a separation in time, because the increasing strength of the Colonies would have called forth a proportionate jealousy in this country, and we should have impoverished ourselves in a fruit less endeavour to prevent our Colonies from grow ing rich. There seems no hope of the re-establish ment of a direct trade between America and our co lonies, "Itis in the mean time (says Mr. Adams) satisfactory to chew, that apart from the inconveni ences resulting from a disturbance of the usual chan nels of trade, no loss has been sustained by the com merce, the navigation, or the revenue of the United States; and none of magnitude is to be apprehended horn this existing state of mutual interdict." In fact, the only effect of the interdict is, we be lieve, to add to the charges of cultivation of the West • India Planter.

At the last Monday's usual Free and Easy meeting at the Back Horse and Swan, Blackman -street, Borough, an old and respectable backer of John Martin addressed the meeting.

He would back Martin for 100/. or 500/, and would deposit any stirti then, or at any ot h er p l ace, S am or h i s fr i ends might appo in t.
