The Gazette Of Sa . turday, affords much addi "al cause of vexation for the factious and licentious Jour /Ills. It contains no fewer than twenty-three more ardently 4 1 ,1 1 and affectionate Addreises to the King, viz.—From the CQt pc)ration Of Bristol; the Gentlemen, Clergy, and House bolder3 of the City and neighbourhood of Ycrk ; the Cot po ration of Rochester; Curpovation of Aberdeen; Corporation bf Preston ; Corporation and Inhabitants of Shaftesbury; the Inhabitants of Bath ; 'Corporation of Lancaster; the States *f Jersey ; Corporation and Inhabitants of Christchurch (:.°tPoration of Poole; the Inhabitants of ExMouth ; Corpo tb4tioz) of Kingston-upon-Hull ; Inhabitants and Visitors of a `‘ di sh; the Magistrates, Bce. of Newburgh ; Inhabitants of Clifton ; inhabitants of New Shoreham ;, Corporation of -trt h;‘ the Gentlemen, Clergy, Merchants, Ship-Owners, and .other Inhabitants of Kingston-upon-Hull ; Inhabitants of nt thon-le-Moor ; Inhabitants of . Devizes; and the Corpora `t - 1 of Newark. The whole breathe a manly and glorious 41 ' 6 ' 4 of loyalty, of which we cannot deny ourselves the plea : sur e of giving the following specimen froth the Norwich Ad drest :—" When we behold the unceasing attacks of evil t4i''ded men upon our most venerable Institutions, when we te e your Majesty's sacred person reviled, your measures held 41) to derision, when sedition is daily putred forth from the Pr 's , ' and dispersed through the land in the name of the Queen- Consort of thes-e.realms,_ who has thus became the instrument of a desperate and dangerous faction, Ave cannot tefrain from expressing our abhorrence of such proceedings , trt no disclaiming all participation in them, and declaring be • fa re your Majesty and otrr fellow-subjects, our determination hold fast our allegiance.", OLIRIIANI COUNTY MEEING.—A Public Meet . ing took place on Wednesday in Durham, for 4 purpose of taking into consideration the pro "vdings against TILE QUEEN, and the proprieif °f presenting. a Petition to bath Houses of Par liament on the subject. TheIIIGII SHERIFF took the Chair, and,having opened the business, lauda • s _ u I Y advised the Meeting to confine itself to the Tibsiect of the Requisition for the Meeting. Mr. 4- xs - AmaroN, however, entered upon the. Manchester V s ihess, and lavished great abuse upon Ministers. 'le. Was followed by other Speakers on the same, Lie, and among others by Earl GREY, who was • L, (l -ually prodigal-in his abuse of Ministers. A entleman, named LIDDELL, attempting to utter 3eatirnents differing from the spirit of the Meet- I ng, was treated with hisses, and his voice was . ( 1 1n.pletely• drowned in cries of " Shame," and • " Put him out. "\ Such was the justice and can dour of the Meeting! At / length the same Gen ' t ieman,' having uttered; on some points, opinions Writable to the general notions and feelings, re , ivvtl warm applause. There was nothing new 461 7 impressive in the speeches, which were mere echoes of what has been said over and er again at -all Meetings of the same kind.— ;he Resolutions of course were agreed to.— :ord DARLINGTON 15 . 1.0 present a Petition to the 4 ist; Earl GREY one to the House of Lords, and t he County Members that to the House of Com -41 ons.—The Petition to the KING is to beseech 1, i 4 Ar-AJEST,Y to restore the QUEEN'S Name to the Aditur g y, and to recommend to Parliament the a doption of such measures as may be necessary "for securing to her a provision suitable to her exalted rank, and station.

The Lord Wellington, TICKLE, of Plymouth, was driven on the same sands, and went to pieces ; crew saved, except .one man. On Thursday the ship Westmorland, for Van Dieman's Land, with settlers (a very tespectable body of men),: and aboUt ,twenty-five sail of• other outward-bound ships, which were forced into Portsmouth by contrary winds, proceeded for their respective destinations. The transport Thomas and IVlary, SPENCE, Agent, also. sailed for Gibraltar, with provisions for the garrison ; the Aldbury, Lieut.

Nearly one hundred sail ,of vessels, of different despriptions, were lying last week in Ramsgate Harbour; in consequence of the unfavourable wind for sailing down the channel. Letters, dated the 4th inst. were received on Saturday from Genoa, announcing - , on the autho rity of advices received there 'from Bologna, that a Russian courier passed through the latter city on the Ist, with instructions to the Russian Ambassador, lately the Minister at Naples, butthen residing at Rome, to re-assume his functions at the Court of Naples. At Genoa no alarm was felt concerning the expressed advance of the AuStrian army, the belief being general there, that the King of Sardinia, under the sanction of the Monarchs assembled in Con gress would be permitted, in any case whatever, to preserve 'an armed neutrality. Yesterday Divine Service was performed in the KING'S Palace, Pall Mall, by the Rev. Dr. STANIER CLARK. His Majesty's ship Camilla, Captain MIN GAY, has arrived at Deptford, Avith presents, it is said, from the King of FRAn'CE. She will sail again to-morrow (Tuesday) to take her station off Portsmouth.

Three Candidates have started for the Borough of St. Alban's, in consequence of the death of the late W. T. ROBARTS, Esq., viz. Sir HENRY WRIGHT WILSON, of Chelsea ; CHARLES ROSS, Esq., son of General Ross, of Lammer Park, Hefts; and JOHN - EASTHOPE, Esq., of- Finchley. The contest will be a spirited one. Mr. EAST HOPE starts upon the Opposition interest, and will be strongly opposed by the Corporate and CECIL interest. The bells of the Parish Church of St. Dunstans' in the West, were rung the whole of yesterday, except during divine service, on account of its being re-opened, after having been completely repaired and embellished. The congregations who attended both morning and afternoon filled every seat, and many persons were obliged to stand in the aisles. The body of the young. Gentleman who, a few days ago, threw himself from Kelston-bridge, near Bath, and was drowned, has been .found, and there is strong reason to believe that he was a young Irish Clergyman, who had arrived in that city two or three days before he committed the fatal act. BARON ScnAltF.=---On the 28th of November arrived at the hospital of Strasburg, a sort of palanquin, accompanied by gendarmes, in which lay a man about 40 - years of age. It anears froml his papers that he is Baron SCHAR - k, for merly Lieutenant-Colonel in the service Uf Russia. —He states, that in the late war against the Turks, he had the misfortune to have been taken prisoner, and thrown, with thirty of his companions, into a small dungeon ; that shortly after a body of executioners, attended by sol diers, entered and mutilated' all the prisoners in the most cruel manner. Only himself and two of his comrades survived their wounds. All the rest bled to death. Baron Scharf 're mained:l4- years in this dungeon:' He was at length put on board a French ship which landed him last autumn at Marseilles. From thence he was carried from brigade to brigade, accompanied by gendarmes, in a carriage constructed pntfr posely for him. This unfortunate man lies colt- stantly oa his back, and is not able to take any other position. His limbs are entirely wasted. He. speaks the German, French, and Turkish languages fluently. Front Strasburgh he is going to Carlsruhe, where he purposes to pass the win ter, and iu .spring will continue his journey to Russia. • lb ET it Y. THE COLISEUM.

On Tuesday, the 28th tilt., they met at Grove, when, upon throwing ititu cover, they forind a fox which spewed little spurt, and was soon lost. A second was found, 'which, after a very smart and sharp run of an hour; was killed in Prattle. , By this time •the nags were got steady, arid as it was eat ly io the day, it wee, resolved to try Stapleton. Here, huwever, reyoard was vat at hours, and they proceeded with as little success to Weptbridge White, At length, in Ctidliing Park, a gallant fox broke cover, arid his style of going away p!rseged a run: He went imntediately for Wake Wood, front there over Oar. , rington Lees to Dartingten village, which, leaving to the-left, he proceeded W . Carlton; and tence to Poiiiefract town. Here the fencing was tremendous, anti the pace such that most of the field were disposed of. Leaving Potittifi act to the right, tie went directly to King's Villa and Pnreton, end ap parentle determined to reach Nostal. However, at Pittston he was headed, and took over Ackwortls Parts, lit ier•v crossed the Went, and over the low grounds to flia . (lsworth. Het e rot a moment the bounds seemed at default, but imme diately recovering the scent, be ran up to Eltusall Lodge, and throeigh the plantations to Bulliuger Wood, from thence to Haigh Hall, where, listening to Kirby village, he was headed and ran through Not wood. Leaving Norwood at the south end, he went to Kim by Quarry, and then over the inclosnre, with the hounds in view, into Howell Wood, where be rats over the earths without entering, and broke away towards Long Houghton Common. Here it was neatly dark, and serious apprehensions were entertained that he would reach New Park Spring', where the hounds trust have been whipped off, froof the rapid approach of 'night. Luckily, the wall Wounding the common proved too much for his exhausted strength, ,and he was obliged to retrace his steps down the large grass field at Burnt. %'odd Nook, in the middle of which lie was throVvn up by his staunch put suers, after a. run of at least 95 wiles in 2 hours and 10 minutes. Only ten horse men were up at the death. Tice huntsman, whose horse fell exhausted under hitt), cense up afterwards on . one of the whipper's horses. We were sorry to see that Lord 'Hawke% ,cherry-brandy had so little of that invigorating influence usually ascribe;! to jumpinig powder, as theme were only two scarlet coats up.- At the same ties!, we feel it-our duty to submit to the attention of the manager of this flue pack, that they hare been twice, within a fortnight, stopped its this midst of a fine run by loaded -spring guns set in the covers. PRINCE LEOPOLD.—Saturday being his Royal Highness Prince -LEoPor,n's Birth-day, the same was celebrated by various demonstrations of re, joiciugs. His Roy-al Highness had a select party at Claremont, besides the Duchess of Kent, and the tPrinc'ess Feodor; among the company were CapA tain Conroy and General Wetherall, attached to he suite of the Duchess of Kent. The domestics of his Royal Highness participated in the joyous event of the return of the natal day of their Royal Master by an entertainment, including a Ball in the evening. His Royal , Highness's tradesmen dined together to celebrate the day, at the Thatched-House Tavern, and the-even ing most of them illuminated their houses. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK left Middleton Park, the seat of the Earl and Countess of JERSEY, where his Royal High ness has been on a visit, for Woburn Abbey, the seatof the Duke of BEDFORD. His Royal High ness i expected to arrive at York-house, Stable yard St. James's, to-morrow, from Woburn. Anecdote of the late General Kosclusg.o.— This beautifully turned compliment is taken from a Polish journal : a higher eulogy could hardly lie pronounced on the hero csf the tale; i• Kosciusko once wished to meted some bottles of good wine to a clergyman at Solothurn ; and as he hesitated to send them by his servant lest be should smuggle a part, he gave 4he commission to a young man of the name of ZeltneT, and desired him to take the horse which he himself usnally rode. On his return young Zeltner said that he never would tide his horse again, unless he gave him purse at the saute time. .Kosciusko asking what he meant, he answered,' As soon as a poor man oil the road takes off his hat and asks for charity, the horse immediately stands stilt, arid Won't stir till something is given to the petitioner ; and. as I had no money about me, I was obliged to make believe to give something, in order. to satisfy the horse.'" THE PHYSICIAN OUTWITTFD.---:A singular fraud was last week committed upon a certain professional Knigft, well litiow thin .the. metropolis. A very elegantly dressed gentlemanly person called at the. Knigha house, arid, after being introduced, said he wished to know the trims fur , walking the Hospital ; he was informed that thirty guineas was the usual price, The .Gentleman then entered into a ;uncial inquiry, and, diking the conversation, evinced knowledge of the science, anti appeared to be la man of pod education. The visitor said he had to write to a . friend in the country, who would be kind enough to remit the needful if ho approved of the arrangement, and asked-permission of the Physlciatt.to allow the letter to be addressed to his residence : so frilling a favour was instantly complied with, and the parties sepa rated ; the visitor assuring the physician he might dependl inputs his calling again in a.day or two. Aceordingly a tre ine.ndons knock was heard at the doorbetween 4 and 3, a few days after, just as the wiirliy Ktiight Was sitting down to dinner, when the promised visitor immediately matte his ap pearance and then inquirril,if tt letter had arrived, addressed • to Mr. Being an! wcre.l in the affirmative, he was in tl-aticeti to the piqiitian, made athorisand rrpologies fur in- Isoiiine. just at ~ turner Sitar, and begged permission to open tle letter.
