OR NITHOLOGY.--On Thursday last, there was shot in the Humber, near Whitton Sands as fi ne a Specimen of the wild swan, as ever came under the obser ration of the ornithologist. The plumage of this beautiful bird was of a pure and s potless white, throughout; they, d own, covering the breast and back, being of remarkable depth and fine texture. The quill feathers of the Wings were of extraordinary size, and the feet pre sented a web of such expanse, as must have endued the bird with immense power in the ureter. The W terieg in mh g ti a t ; feet; when extended, measured from tip to tip, from the point of the bill to the ex of the claws, five feet six inches ; and the whole Weight of the bird was twenty-four pounds.

During the late fire at York-house, Bath, an infant, a month old, was left in bed by its mother, while she went to see the conflagration ; when the father re turning home, not knowing the child was in the bed, folded it up, and before the mother's return, the infant was suf focated.---Exeter Alfred. The Report on Prison Discipline state that 1,700 persons have been annually confined, during the last seven years, for offences against the Game Laws. What a nursery for other crimes is this! Great quantities of game are now, we are told, sold openly in some of the sea-port towns, as coining from France; but much of which has only been shipped and un shipped to give it that appearance. MISSIONARY MEETING.—A Meeting of the Missionaries was held last night at the Romney Wesleyan Chapel, Romney Terrace, Horseferry-road, to promote the cause of Missions to the Heathen world. The Secretary read the Report, which stated that the finances of the Society were not so flourishing as could be wished. He concluded by requesting a liberal subscription from the Meeting. WINTERTON CATTLE SIIOW.---A corre spondent informs us that a meeting has been held at Win terton, in the northern part of Lincolnshire, at which it was proposed to establish two shows annually, for the sale of all kinds of live stock. The farmers in the neighbour hood are determined to give all the assistance in their power to support the shows.—Hull Packet. Notwithstanding the severe losses which the ship-owners of Alloa have sustained during the last year, the register tonnage has, upon the whole, considerably in created in the year ending let. January, 1827 ; more ships have been built than the number lost. It may not be generally known, that there are registered at the port of Alloa, S5B vessels wkose united tonnage amounts to 19,500, employing 1040 men.— Caledonian Mercury. A SATISFACTORY CAUSE FOR SCARCITY. Two labourers, a few nights ago, having just left their work in the neighbourhood, before coming to town, and to whet their appetites for supper, went into a public-house, and actually consumed the following bill of fare, viz. :- 15 bottles of porter, two quartern loaves, half a very sub stantial Buchan cheese, and to wash down the whole, a pint of whisky toddy !—Aberdeen Journal. We exceedingly regret to announce the me lancholy shipwreck of the brig Charles belonging to this port, which left Sunderland on Saturday se'nnight, coal laden, for Boston ; and was seen all the following day within a short distance of the shore, the wind and sea beat ing strong against her ; she was wrecked on Sunday night off Ryhope, near Sunderland, and all hands on board pe rislasd. —Boston Gazette. INCREASE OF CRlME.—Staffordshire ses sions commenced on Wednesday, when the preliminary business was transacted. On Thursday the trial of pri soners commenced. Sir 0. 111ost.Ev, in his charge to the Grand Jury, regretted that there were in the calendar forty prisoners under the age of 21 years, and twenty-four under the age offifteen.-21Ianehester Herald. CURIOUS BLUNDER.—" One hundred and fifty Exiles from. Siberia have arrived in one box by the brig Mobile from Glasgow" (meaning Madame Cottin's delightful little novel of that name). The Boston States. man takes the statement in its literal sense, and says,— " Exiles of Siberia.—One hundred and fifty of these miserable felons are said to have arrived at New York. Among them Coant BENYOWSKY." Puor BENYOWSKY has been dead these 33 years, and has had more than a score of tragedies witten about him ! Manchester Herald. On the 14th current, being auld Hansel Mon day, Mr. Lowuix, lessee of Brighton quarry, near Fal kirk, entertained a party of sixty-four in his house, to an early supper. They consisted entirely of his own children and grand-children, and their various relations and connec tions ; a number of them, no doubt, would be mere chil dren. Mr. LOWRIE has, for some time past, been in a frail state of health ; but on this night, exhilirated by the festivities of the evening, he was in uncommonly good spirits, and seemed to have his strengths renewed ; but mark the uncertainty of life—h e was suddenly taken ill in the night, and before morning was a corpse.— Glasgow Herald. SHOCKING DEPRAVITY.—About a fortnight since, some heartless miscreants entered one of the West Marshes, at Grimsby, and wantonly cut the sinews of the hind legs of three sheep, the property of Air. Alderman Moony, and left the poor animals weltering in their blood, in which state they were found alive on the following morning. A handsome reward was offered for the dis covery of the offenders ; notwithstanding which, a few days afterwards, six sheep were cut in a similar manner : the offered reward was doubled, and other means adopted, none of which had the desired effect, for on Monday morn ing fi v e sheep were cut in the same way, and subsequently thrown into a ditch and drowned. To add to this cata logue of malicious barbarity, two more sheep were on Sunday morning found maimed in a similar way. The greatest anxiety prevails in the town. One man is .—We have received al ready in custody on suspicion. —Hull Packet. DREADFUL the following from a" A violent disturb ance took place at the village of Gyntliam, near Spittle, on A correspondent FillA Friday last. A party of dikers, having buried one of their comrad es d rank to h i s memor y so long th at t h e landlord, fearin g t h e consequences, wished them to quit his premises and go to their work. On this, they turned him and his family out of the house, took forcible possession, and esta blished themselves. A posse of constables was procured, and the party dislod ge d ; but they returned wit h a reinforce ment of their comrad e ., and a serious a ff ray w as the conse quence. A Magistrate read the riot act, and one of the constables fired his pistol—the wounded man fell—and many a broken head followed on both sides. A party of soldiers were sent from Bri gg , and sixteen being pu t i n t o a light coach, with four horses, arrived at the spot in a very short time. This force soon settled the business-- When I left, the man wounded by the pistol was not ex pected to live. The soldiers are still on guard,"—Hun IPacket. PTJIILTC SALES.-(THIS DAY.) BY. MR.

ALDQATE.—A Leasehold Estate, comprising two spacious dwelling-houses and premises, situate Nos. 28 and 29, Aldgate.; also a spacious dwelling -house in Mitre-court, Aldgate; the premises in Aldgate are held on lease for a term which will expire in 1829,subject to a reserved rent of 1651. per annum; that in Mitre -street is held for 38 years.-490/.

RALPH SHERWIN, when he seceded from Drury, drove a coach ; In allusion to this, the treasurer said, on his coming for his salary, " Well, SnEawlN, when does the coach start ?" " The moment your honour pays the fare," was the reply. The Earl of ELDorr, it would seem, has shown no inclination to return to the fatiguesof office. It is said that when a hint was once given to his Lordship, by a Church dignitary, that his ease would be consulted by retiring' to a station of less labour than that of the Chancel lorship, he replied, " What would your Lordship think if I recommended you to be translated from - to Llandaff?" We have much satisfaction - in beim- , enabled to state, that upon a comparative view of the receipts and disbursements of the Custom's establishment of this port, for the last year, with that of 1826, that there is an in crease in the duties collected to the amount of 8,1901., and a diminution in the expenditure of the department to ,he amount of 1,458/. 12s. lid.—Boston Gazette. ANOTHER BANKERS PARCEL LOST OR STOLEN.—A parcel of hills and notes, to the amount of 12,000/. was abstracted on Friday last, from the Doncaster coach (late Doncaster mail). It was addressed to Messrs. WALKER, EYR; and STANLEY, bankers, Sheffield. Pay ment of all the notes have been stopped, and a reward of .50/. offered for the restoration of the parcel.—York Courant. LEWES.—On the day after the affray at Bex.. hill, a large company of smugglers were seen to pass through the village of Wellingdon, about three miles from Eastbourn. The smugglers were from 100 to 150 in number, with carts, horses, &c. all heavily laden, and took a cross country direction over the downs. There can be but little doubt that they were of the party concerned in the affray. Six persons, charged with the murder of the l3lockade men, were committed to our house of correction on Friday last.—Brighton Guardian. Loss Or THE CREIVOF THE MAY, COASTER, u. Sm.Bv.—From a boat having been found on the Lin colnshire coast, near to Cleathorpe, on the 10th inst., it was apprehended that a fatal accident had befallen the May, a coaster, belonging to Mr. BANKS, of Selby ; and we deeply regret to announce, front the bodies of the crew having been since cast ashore near the mouth of the Hum her, the full confirmation of the fears entertained. The crew consisted of JouN and Wm. BANKS, sons of the owner (the former of whom was master of the vessel) ; also, of an assistant hand belonging to Brotherton ; all of whom have perished. The bodies of the two brothers were brought to this town, and conveyed hence to Selby on Tuesday last, in the Aire steam-packet, at which place they were interred the following day. —Hull Packet. The Singapore Chronicle of August 30 says —We regret to mention the total loss of a very fine ship, the Loretto, which left this port or, the 2:2d of last month, bound for London. She proceeded safely on her voyage till the Sth of this month, when at 4 p.m. they were abreast of an island, described as lying off the east end of Carimata, and which at six pm. bore S. W. by W. i W., with sound ings of 10, 11, and 12 fathoms, and continuing their course, at half past nine the vessel grounded on a shoal, the island above-mentioned bearing from it N. W., Carimata IV:S.W., and a group of islands bearing from S.E. to S.E. I E., the latitude of the shoal being 1 deg. 35 min. south, and the bottom of coral rocks with soft sand or mud. All en deavours to get the vessel off proved fruitless. For the first three days she made little or no water, but on the fourth she began rapidly to fill, owing, as was supposed, to the starting of a plank. The pumps were of course set a going, but with so little effect that she had soon 13 feet water in the well. Her situation being now desperate, all hands took to the boats, which were well provided with water, provisions, and arms, and in about a quarter of an hour from quitting the ship they saw her taken possession of by five or six pirate prahus which had been hovering around for two or three days before, like vultures watching for a dying pray. The boats made the best of their way for this port, and arrived here on the 20th inst. all well. We regret to learn, that the revolting system of robbing the sepulchres of the dead is still carried on, even in pretty 'emote parts of the country. Of this the following example occurred lately at Drumoak :--Iu the church-yard of that parish, the grave-digger, as is his custom, was in the morning walking over the burial ground, to ascertain if all was right, when the appearance of one of the graves, in which a person had been buried the day pre vious, struck him, and on examination, he found, that al though carefully covered, it had undergone some alteration. This suspicion he successively communicated to some of the elders and the clergyman, who, concurring in the necessity of being satisfied on the slibject, had the grave opened, when their suspicion was confirmed, the body recently in.. terred having been removed. On this discovery, a person was sent to Aberdeen to lodge information, and endeavour to trace the delinquents, but without success. The follow ing evening, however, a farmer in the neighbourhood, while near his own house, observed a gig standing on the old Dee side road, and before he could satisfy himself as to the ex traordinary circumstance, it drove rapidly past, he having barely time to observe there were two men passengers. Suspicion flashed on his Mind, that these parties might be concerned in the affair which had created such alarm in that part of the country, and he immediately took a poney from the stable, mounted him, and galloped off in pursuit. Some miles onward to Aberdeen the two young men bolted from the gig and effected their escape, by getting into an adjoin ing wood, near Newton of Murtle. The body was found in the gig, and carried back for interment; the parties con cerned are not yet diseoveed. —Aberdeen Chronicle. MOLIERE.—MOLIERE was a man of great heart, very generous ; but sensitive also, and subject in the midst of his pleasantries to that melancholy which is so often found in the company of wit. It was on the side of his sympathies and not his antipathies, that MOLIERE was weak. He troubled himself with a wife too young for him ; and after having ridiculed jealousy in his comedies, was fain to acknowledge that he felt it in all its bitterness himself. Candour takes away the degrading part of these mortifiestions ; but the sting is there nevertheless. What endears us the more to his sincerity, and to the habitual kindness of his heart, is his saying to his friend CuArems. whom lie made his father-confessor on this occasion. that " finding how impossible it was to conquer his jealousy, he began to think that it might be equally impossible in the object of his affections to get rid of het' coquetry." The worst of it was, that their ages were unequal. His young wife (the daughter of an actress in his corps dramatique, which gave rise to a scandal refuted by the date of their connection) was herself an actress, beautiful, and surround ed with admirers. She probably loved the poet as well as she could, but found that she loved people of her own age better; while lie, taking his undying admiration of beauty for a ri[Fit to possess it, forgot till too late that poets' hearts mmuch longer than their persons. The con sequenceain w a n , t that two people , both of them perh a p s very re worthy, became a grief and tormen to one another, m ere ly because incompatible marriages are permitted; for Alo ideitE had been a great ridiculer of marriage, and there no doubt lay good part of the sting. He should have gone abroad more out of tise society of his corps dramatique, and found some charmer to love lees unsuitable to his time of life. There are born poetesses, in their way among the women, whom temperance and the graces help to keep young even in person, and often in a more touching man ner than the young and thoughtless. Mor.teae should have laid his laurelled head in the lap of one of these,—s-Leigh Hunt'4 , arnapqnfon, TAE MARKETS.-(TIITS DAT.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Grain this week are small.

GLASGOW MARKETS, JAN. 19.--There having been no arrivals of Sugar since the date of our last weekly circular, holders have availed themselves of the scarcity to realise, and 785 hhds. were sold during the week at the advance of Is. per cwt. leaving only 195 hhds. in the hands of importers. These sales consist of 243 hhds. Demerara, at 61s. 6d. for dark brown, 645. for good brown, and 655. 9d. a 675. for middling ; 191 hhds. 13erbice, at 60s. 6d. a 629. for low to middling brown ; 148 Mids. Jamaica, at 655. 6d. a 665. 6d. for good boiling lots, and 6'7a. 6d. a 68s. for good grocery; 40 middling to good boiling Saint Vincent's, at 655. a 675., and 163 hhds. middling to good boiling Grenada, at 655. 6d. a 665. per. cwt. There were no sales of Molasses this week, the only cargo at market being Demerara, held at 29e. per cwt. No business was done in Coffee, nor is it likely that much will he done till the 25th lust, when 150 tierces Jamaica are to be offered at auction. Nothing was done in Dye woods or Pimento, and the sales of Rum were confined to small parcels of Demerara, at 2s. Id. a 2s. 2d. for Proof, and of Jamaica, at Se. 2d. a 3s. 3d. for 16 O.P. There was a fair demand for Cotton during the week, and prices are without alteration. The sales amount to 1,345 bales. Although there was little inquiry for Ashes, holders evince no disposition to sell on lower terms, and prices remain no minally at 325. a 325. 6d. for new Pot, and 325. 6d. a 335. for Pearl. Almost nothing was done in Tobacco.- The sales of Tallow are still limited at 41s. 6d. and in some retail lots at 425. per cwt. There has been a good demand for all descriptions of Grain, Barley fully main taining its price, and Wheat and Oats having advanced about 6d. per boll. The fever, it is hoped, has received a check from the seasonable severity of the weather, as few new cases have appeared during the last fortnight, but the num ber of funerals daily passing along the streets is appalling. We regret to hear that the fever is raging i❑ Fortrose, and the contagion brought from Inverness has proved fatal to many in the surrounding country.—lnverness Journal. FEVER.-Advices received from Athy, assure ua that the fatal malady (fever) which we had announced as prevalent in that town, has swept its victims from nu merous families, many of them of the better order. Among these were some Medical Gentlemen. rn several private houses, admittance is refused to all, intercourse between individuals is limited, and business nearly suspended.__ During this unhappy visitation, swarms of beggars from the neighbourhood of Athy continue to infest this town.— The fevef has already invaded 13agenalstown.— Carlow Morning Post. That it was not without reason that the libe ral portion of the Cabinet insisted upon a Finance Com mittee which would very seriously take up the subject of retrenchment and economy, is obvious from a fact with which the public are not so conversant as they. , ought to be. In spite of all the nominal reductions of taxes since the peace, so pompously expounded by tho various Chan cellors of the Exchequer, no real reduction has taken place since the conclusion of the war in 1815. In the last three years (ending the sth of April) of the war, in which exertions so memorable were made to subdue NA.- por.r.oN, the average revenue of Great Britain was as follow■ : Customs and Excise ... X34,56'8,000 Stamps 'i,360,000 Post Office Assessed and Land Taxes Miscellaneous Property Tat ......... 49,058,000 13,781,000 £62,842,000 During these, three years the pound sterling was not worth more than 15s. ; in other words the currency was depre ciated 25 per cent. The real amount of taxes paid, there fore, in money of the old standard—our Present sove reins—was only 47,131,500/. - Total nominal taxes £62,842,000 Deduct for depreciation, 25 per cent. 15,710,000 Real amount in sovereigns 41,181,500 Compare this with the average amount drawn from the country during the last three years, ending the sth of Ja nuary Customs and Excise £33,866,00 0 Stamps 6,550,000 Post-office Assessed and Land Taxes Miscellaneous £47,290,000 So that the nation stilt groans under a load of taxes heavier than durin g the heaviest years of the war ; an d an en lightened Ministry quits his MAJESTY'S service, because they attempt to take effectual measures (to which, indeed, they were pledged) to alleviate the pressure.

The fishing-boat, Let us-try, of Brighton, which was out in the tempest on Sun day week s fortunately drove on shore at the spot where Lieut. PHILLIPS happened to be, and it is to the exertions of that officer, and his party, that the three men on board are indebted for the preservation of their lives and of their little bark ; which was speedily hauled up beyond the reach of the tremendous surf, which ran, at day-break, in the height of the gale. It may be worthy of remark, that two years ago the same boat, with one of the three men in her, was cast on the same spot, and assisted in the same manner by that officer and party.—Brighton Guardian. On Sunday last, great interest was excited on the beach to the westward, by the appearance of several tubs of spirits which were washing on shore ; and on the Chain Pier, by the landing of tea-chests, casks, packages, and sea-chests, which had the appearance of hav:ng- been buffled by the waves for some time. —Brighton Guardian.
